C. burtlessBob was a great driver. Certainly had a great experience
j. latimerWhen I book a limo for 2, I expect a car, not a rental car bus painted black... Was very disappointed in the experience, especially when limo price was $20 more than my resort offered me. At least they had a black Escalade.... Here is what was promised: Service Provider Allied Limousine Vehicle Sedan, Lincoln Town Car Vehicle Capacity 4 passengers, 3 bags/luggage Here's what I got Vehicle Imagine any airport rental car bus painted black Vehicle Capacity 12+
j. Rosztoczyrear air conditioner did not work. Driver had his front air conditioner at 60 degrees so we were at least comfortable. Other than air conditioner problems driver and vehicle were satisfactory.
R. SommerfeldDriver was not at airport upon our arrival. We had to call him. He was approximately 30 minutes late picking us up. That being said, the driver was friendly, the car clean.
M. KingDriver was on time, and professional
E. WaldrepNot 1 complaint! Using this company regularly through Limos.com for almost a year. Smooth sailing!! Recommended! A+, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up!
M. Kahla
V. ShoberOur driver, Brittany, was excellent. She was courteous, punctual and professional! I was very pleased and will request her when I need a ride to or from the airport in the future. The car was very clean and was exactly what I requested.
J. GregoryService was outstanding. On time (early), clean car. The driver Tyson was terrific.
S. HaneyThe driver was on-time as well as friendly and professional. Pleasant trip.
S. RachlinNo complaints - met us on time, inside. very professional.
D. PThe driver was on time, very nice and the vehicle was very clean. However, the "Notes" we provide are not a suggestion, they are details that need to be followed directly. These are not difficult details, they are very simple details. The driver did not follow one single detail in the notes we provided.
D. DiekerI just wanted to thank you for providing us with a car on Saturday, November 13th, for our wedding. Your reservations guy was great, the driver was great and the car was fantastic. Thank you so much for even upgrading our vehicle for us. It made a great day that much better. Thank you again.
T. GahlEverything "clicked"! Car arrived early, was driven very professionally, and was waiting for us cool and comfy when we were finished with our dinner. The Cadillac Escalade had aftermarket wheels, one of which was out of balance, which ruined the fine factory ride quality of that model, but it was otherwise in very clean condition. A very professional and enjoyable experience, that with the Sizzling Summer Rates was a true bargain! I would do it again in a second!
G. GabrielI have been using Allied for several years traveling to and from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. There service is extraordinary; always timely, always professional and their vehicles are clean and well maintained. The drivers (all of them) are cordial and attentive to the needs of me the customer. Reservations by email with confirmations electronically. Five stars all around.
K. MathesonI just wanted to send a thank you to your company for the excellent service we received last night. I find all too often people only take the time to complain to companies regarding poor service but don't take the time to thank companies for outstanding service! I reserved a mini-coach about a month ago, and from that point on it had been nothing but a pleasure to deal with your company. Additionally, I wanted to thank our driver, Randy, for his great attitude and outstanding service. Thank you again, and I will recommend your company to everyone I know.

M. Masseyallied was very helpful in helping us find a limo that would not only fit everybody going but fit our budget. although we did not end up going with them [this time] we are deffinantly planning on going with them anyother time. their costomer service and quality was perfect. i felt so bad choosing a diferent company but im planning on going with allied in the near future.
S. HeilmanBob Frost of Allied Limo provided a first class experience for my mother. The task of booking a limo service online for a airport pick up of an elderly person was a concern. Everything about Allied was outstanding. Thanks Bob.
P. KrauseThanks Allied for making my parents 50th anniversary so special! Excellent service...mom still raves about her ride in the Limo.

J. CI had to make a last change to the date/ time that I needed to be picked up. Jeff at Arrange A Ride was very understanding and accommodating. I really appreciated the flexibility. Also, the drivers were very warm and nice.
R. VoigtThank You Arrange A Ride for making my sons prom night one he and his friends will never forget. The whole process from setting up the ride until they dropped everyone off, was easy and very friendly. The people were accomodating and arrived on time, ready to serve. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank You for making it worth it by keeping it professional and fun.

P. MayancsikI had an awesome experience with LIMOZ (http://www.limozarizona.com/) – Phoenix, AZ. Background: An 'ol high school buddy (and family) where visiting Phoenix for a week, and 'we' scheduled time together, for a day, of eats/treats/site seeing and being…. Merry. Additionally, I have two cousins that live in the greater Phoenix area, and since family does not see each other enough, I chimed them in if they wanted to play. OUCH!! How do you consolidate travel and scheduling in/around the Phoenix area with seven people (later growing to eight people). I visited an 'ol trustee web-site (Limos.com), queried against Phoenix, day, time, and for seven PPL. If you have an account with Limos.com, you know that the competition gets going rather quickly. The E-Mails and phone calls started coming in regarding rates and the best service around (A bit of a hassle if you are not prepared to make a commitment but, a good thing if you are…..). I noted an E-Mail from LIMOZ (different format, more personalized and reviewed it). The E-Mail included a rate for 15 hours, and to call for details. I then sifted through various voicemails. I connected via phone with LIMOZ, and BING!!! I committed. The Chauffeur (Wendi) and I worked together on specifics (routine policy) and itinerary. The reservation process is prompt and professional. The individual chauffeur confirmed via E-Mail and text message a day or two prior so I would have their contact info and full understanding of our commitments. The chauffer arrived on time (early) and patiently waited for all of us (pick-ups/drop-offs) and was extremely flexible in the days itinerary. The chauffeurs H2 Hummer 'streeeeech' was extremly clean and well cared for, and as the owner of the limo service, provided that little bit of extra care only local business owners can. It was all really seamless. LIMOZ is a professional service, has technology (constant communications), and provides safety & comfort. In summary, I cannot say enough good things about LIMOZ. In any company it's rare to find flawless customer service. LIMOZ treated me and guests like a VIP all-day-long. Wendi and her 'streeeeech' turned what could have been a travelling tragedy into a very comfortable experience. I was amazed at how Wendi (a petite woman - my opinion) could put the 'streeeeech' anywhere she wanted to put it. Overall, I think LIMOZ is fabulous and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone I know that is going to the Phoenix area needing a car service.
E. KI just wanted to thank you for last night. You were so wonderful to do business with. I will definitely come back again. You're AWESOME!
L. HaleArmando, our driver was incredible. He made a good evening great with his great attention to detail and professionalism. We rent a limo 2-3 times a year and look forward to using this service again. GREAT PRICE, GREAT RIDE and GREAT SERVICE!
l. grauvreauI just wanted to say Thank you for the unbelievable service you provided us, everybody had a wonderful evening. It was a success all the way. Next time we are in Pheonix and require limosine services we will with no hesitation call you back. Thanks!!!
W. VanluvenIncredible experience with "Wendi" in a beautiful limo! She was on time, friendly and fun to be with! This experience with Limoz has exceeded my expectations. Wendi made us feel like queens for my sisters 50th Birthday party. I will definitely use Limoz again for any occcasion I may have in the future.
H. MLIMOZ is awesome!!!!!! Wendi was on time and extremely accommodating. She drove our Girl Scout troop all over the east valley. She allowed us to pose for plenty of photographs and was very patient with us. The limo was exactly as reserved and filled with refreshments. Wendi is awesome and we will not hesitate to use them again!
T. HolcombWendi exceeded my expectations with taking care of my friends and I on our special Girls night out. She was early and the hummer was perfect,clean and stocked. She got us everywhere we wanted to go and treated us very well. I was impressed when she walked us all into the club to insure vip treatment. I will be recommending Limoz and Wendi to everyone I know and look forward to using this company again!
S. MatthewsService was second to none! Wendi (our driver) was on time, very helpful, and really helped us make for a fun and memorable night. We would highly recommend their service to anyone!
C. WoodsThis is actually my second time using Wendi from Limoz. We had the H2 Hummer limo both times and everything was absolutely and positively exceptional! It's usually always easy to make a good first impression, which of course the company far exceeded, but to be so awesome all over again?! I almost consider Limoz like part of the fam since I enjoyed them so much! They were truly accommodating, friendly, and so personable. I am definitely booking them again and I highly recommend Limoz to anyone who is looking for A+ service, with an unforgettable experience!
W. HubertI hired Limoz for my daughters 17th birthday to take them to concert and home. Madelyn was the driver and made the whole thing so easy & comforting. Madelyn checked in with me and let me know everyone was doing fine. I didn't worry at all. My daughter said it was a fabulous night and loved it! I will absolutely use Limoz next time I have an occasion for a limo. Great service and very affordable! Thanks Madelyn!!!
R. AnnettsGreat limo service company. We were down from Alberta on a golf trip and Wendy and Michael couldn't have down a better job. It semed almost like they were on the trip with us as they treated us not like work but as friends. They were promptly on time and very helpful picking us up at the airport and back along with taking us to golf courses and also touring us around town. The limos were always clean with all the amenities to keep our thirsts quenched.They will be our first call when we go back to the Phoenix area. Great job!!!!
R. IndioWe called Limo Connect for our daughters 21st birthday bash. As concerned parents we were worried about our daughter and her 9 friends safety since "they chose to go clubbing for the evening," Limo Connect safely delivered each of our girls to and from 5 different clubsthat evening. The girls were elated with their service and surprised to see the extra touches that Limo Connect added such as birthday balloons and streamers in the car upon arrival and a most gracious card with a beautiful long stem rose for my daughter Starla. Each of the clubs they visited the driver notified the dj of her birthday and a song was dedicated to her personally. We don't normally call for limo service but after this experience we realize how affordable and really sensible a service they are now. We give all thumbs up to Limo Connect and thank them again for their hospitality and courteous service as well as for giving our daughter and friends an evening they have yet to stop raving about.
R. GibsonWe used Limo Connect for a birthday party and their service was awesome. Wendi was very courteous and punctual. We will definitely use Limo Connect again! Thanks Wendi!
P. SutterWendi with limo connections was amazing!! She was beyond helpful. The Hummer limo was awesome. We rented it for a birthday party and it was worth it. The price was really reasonable! Thank you for a great night! We will be calling you again if we are in AZ!
e. evankoLimousine Connection was just all around fabulous! Wendi was perfect and accomadated all our needs. Made sure we all had a great time and made it home safe! The cheapest prices I found after extensive reseach too! Great Deal!!!! I highly reccomend!!!!! Thanks again Wendi for being flexible and showing us a wonderful night out!! Erin
L. LisaThanks again for the awesome job you did with the kids on Dylan's Birthday! Lisa
A. RowleyI can't express how impressed my friends and I were with our experience with Limo Connection last weekend. Booking online was super easy. Wendi contacted me the next day and helped to personalize the evening...a mix of birthday & engagement celebrations, one that we will never forget-in big thanks to the amazing service and flexibility of Wendi! We rented the stretch Hummer which was decked out and stocked perfectly. One more example of the excellent service is that we were contacted the next day about an item left in the limo (don't know how that happened!) that they offers to mail to my out of state friends! We will use them again for sure...I can't wait!
R. GI searched and received a ton of quotes for my WEDDING from different limo companies. They stood out from all the rest. I placed the reservation over an email, but even still places I went I asked around who they recommend for service. We couldn't believe it but every single bridal vendor recommended them for their outstanding service and flexibility. The company I work for ( a well known firm) uses their service as too. I am happy to give a 5 star review across the board. They are awesome. SO worth the money and rates are very reasonable.
A. CarlsonMy friends and I loved the limo service provided. We had so much fun cruising around and our driver was very obliging when we had extra time left over. My parents hated the idea of me spending my money on a limo for the evening but after they met the driver and saw the limo they were in love with the idea and the company!
T. MeintelLimo service was amazing. The limo was on time, fully loaded, could not have been any better. We have used them again and again.
J. GuyetteMy Wife and I can't say enough about the outstanding service we received from Limousine Connection. Our driver (Wendi) was the nicest person. All of our requests were taken care of and it made our anniversary one we will never forget. Limousine Connection is the only company we will use for service from now on. You get it all, great value, a great vehicle, and great service! You won't be sorry...unless you call someone else.

S. ReimerThe driver and vehicle were great. The overcharging was not. If I am not reimbursed for the extra charges, I will advise others not to book with your company. We have proof of when we signed off our check and when we were picked up. If anything, we were under our allotted time.
P. WebbYour drivers are always professional, dressed well, and very knowledgeable. Will definitely keep using your services! Thank you.
S. SIPPLELimo arrived early, driver was very professional, limo bus looked new (comfortable, clean). Overall the service and ride was exceptional. I would use the service again!
K. BartesI received texts and e-mails ... unfortunately the driver never showed up. And, to top it all off, you have charged my credit card for the ride and I am now fighting to get my money back!
S. BrownI did not receive a call from Jet to confirm my pick an hour before pick as I was told that I would. I called them 30 minutes prior to pick up to confirm. 2 out of 4 of the Champagne glasses had lip stick on it. I had to call the office at pick up time to find out where the driver was. He was in my drive way and didn't notify me.
K. BartesTim Garrett (driver) did an outstanding job!
M. FioreSteve was excellent friendly personable we had 9 passengers and he joined in with the fun conversations we had a great time!!!

F. JeffersThe water provided was in lukewarm water, no ice. The console for A/C control was not either working or we just didn't know how to use it. When we got to our destination, everybody was completely sweaty.
L. MacMillanArrived a bit before time, courteous, helpful and pleasant.
K. BartesFriendly driver; punctual & professional.
T. GoetzmannWe arrived slightly early-fortunately so did our driver. He helped with bags, made good time getting us to our destination, about 30 miles away.
K. BartesFriendly driver; arrived 15 minutes early; vehicle was excellent; no issues at all!
G. SantiDriver was spot on time even with an earlier request. Got us to the airport faster than we thought! Great driver. Would use again
p. tsukazakiVery friendly and professional. Great!
M. VANDEGRIFFOur driver was very accommodating and made the trip a lot of fun
D. YostAbsolutely perfect.
A. Toddeverything was very smooth. very nice driver cut too.
T. GrissoDriver was excellent in getting us to our several destinations ahead of schedule.
S. GallDriver got lost twice which caused us not to be able to go to our last destination prior to going home and then I was charged .25 extra for being over. Also the driver dropped my daughters brand new iPhone 6 and shattered the screen

A. StevensonWe rented a vehicle for 12 passengers on prom night in Sedona, AZ. The vehicle was of great quality (Dodge Charger Limo). The driver was very prompt with the schedule given him and very friendly. We were impressed with the extra cooler in the rear trunk of the vehicle for the overflow drinks loaded into the limo for the kids. We had no problems and the overall experience was a wonderful one! Definitely plan on using Jet Limousines in the future!
B. HBuyer beware! I booked this company to take me to the airport on 12/19/14 - I was taking a red-eye flight back east for the holidays. I was sent my drivers contact info via text, along with reconfirmation for my 930pm pickup. They never showed up. By 10pm I called Limos.com after trying to call the driver with no answer, and was told that the vehicle being used for my ride had "equipment issues" and I would not be picked up!! Seriously?? I had to give 1 star to complete this, otherwise, it would be a -10 rating!!!!! Merry Christmas to me!!
J. HickmanWe had a great driver! Would recommend your service to anyone.
j. kalilBilly & Team- Thank you again for everything. Alison & I, along with all of our family and friends, had a wonderful time at our Wedding. Thank you again for all of your hard work-
v. rodriguezEverything was great. Everyone LOVED Arnold. He was good to us all and he was a VERY good driver. I misread our itinerary a couple of times, but he was very willing to match the change. As far as JET Limousines, it was perfect from first contact to now. We really so appreciate your patience and assistance throughout the entire process. I am very glad that you were able and willing to accommodate us.
j. rossThank you so much for your service during our trip to PHX! Driver was great! Thanks and you have us for next time and our recommendation!
t. truongEverything was excellent! Your drivers were super friendly, courteous, and prompt. Your vehicles fit perfectly for my group. Thank you again! Will definitely use your fantastic services again in the near future!
m. behringerThank you! AMAZING SERVICE!
T. FaliseI may never drive myself to the airport again! Excellent service and affordable luxury. Keep up the good work!

M. LittleVery professional, friendly service - great experience!
R. Dobson
J. CarsonDriver made contact and described where to meet him.
S. WilliamsDriver was excellent, on time and very professional.
M. Kasper
J. SkovThe driver was prompt and courteous and we had plenty of room in the limo. However, the air conditioning didn't work the entire 4 hours we used it.
A. DibbsDriver Tim was very friendly and helpful. Gave perfect directions on where to find him. We had a nice discussion about all sorts of topics during the ride. A really positive experience with your company!
C. JamesThis company was a huge disappointment. I ended up having to call them when it was 10 minutes after my pick up time to go to the airport. I was told the driver was on his way, very close and that the traffic was bad. The dispatcher said she would call me right back with the expected arrival time. I received no such phone call. 20 minutes later I tried calling back, I was sent directly to voice mail 4 different times. I ended up making other arrangements and 45 minutes after my pick up time, I received a call from the driver letting me know he would be a little late. A little late - really? He was already 45 minutes late and was just now calling me to tell me he was going to be a little late! Grrr! I never did get a call back from the dispatcher. I was lucky I was able to make it to the airport and arrive at my gate as they were completing the boarding process. The driver's only response to my frustration, was sorry, there was a lot of traffic. I told him that was no excuse, he should have planned better and at the very least given me a courtesy call the minute he knew he would be late. I will never use this company again.
T. ManolaDriver was late picking us up. Didn't apologize for being late . just gave excuses. Didn't start out good when you're paying premium prices for new years eve.
J. Stultz
M. KirbyWe had the best time with our driver, Brandon, on November 9, visiting the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary.
T. MurphyI'm a businessman and travel a certain amount. Finding reliable, well-priced transportation is always a problem, but not in Phoenix. Jet Limousines is terrific! I'm not one to throw around compliments, but Jet is always early, their drivers are professional, smart and know what I need prior to me asking. I will always use Jet Limos in Phoenix. They're the best I've used regardless of the major city in the US. Great job. See you next time.
E. GeislerI have used Jet Limos for a few occasions now. I started with airport runs and now have graduated to sending my wife and her friends out in the limos. I feel so comfortable with all the drivers and the entire staff. The professionalism exudes from all the staff members. the cars are always on time, clean, and full of ice for our beverages. I rarely come across a business that I feel so strong about recommending. This is that company!!! I will spread the word and recommend this company to all my friends. This kind of service and the communication they give is RARE!!!!
M. AllenI don't know exactly how to rate this. The driver was late to take my family to the airport - I had to call and make sure he was coming. He said traffic was bad. Not the end of the world - I allowed for a time buffer. Nice drive, polite and efficient. When he dropped us off, I said I needed to pay the balance of the amount due (through Limos.com) and he said he didn't know anything about that, and got back in the car and drove away. That was in May. Yesterday, in August, my card was charged for the service. 3 months after the transaction. Lousy business, if you ask me. Didn't budget for that! Won't use them again for that reason alone.
V. HemmingBilly - First I would like to start off by saying that your buses and drivers were wonderful. The transportation portion of our conference went amazingly smooth thanks to Lexani by Ryan's Express. The buses were clean and extremely comfortable and all three drivers were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for such wonderful service!
G. GehaniWe reserved a limo bus at Lexani by Ryan's through limos.com for an after wedding bar crawl and were pleasantly surprised by the vehicle, service and timeliness. The limo bus arrived well ahead of departure, the driver was knowledgeable of the area and destinations and was extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend them!
T. ChavetThe driver was late. The exterior of the car smelled terrible and the odor made it into the interior. The car contained dirty glasses from a previous job.

D. DeltWe used the service to transport the Bride and her party to the wedding. The ladies said the driver was a bit grumpy, said a few not so nice comments and they felt he was put out with the short service. We asked for arrival at 5:30 and he arrived at 5:00 which rushed the wedding schedule. All in all though, the girls enjoyed the ride. Thank you.

J. HerreraJames L was a nice guy and got us to every event on time. Good customer service.
S. DanielThe driver, James, was very nice and professional. However, we had to ask for ice and water which I was told was supposed to be supplied. The stereo was a pain, no USB or bluetooth connection and the speakers toward the front had static. Front passenger headlight was not working.
a. brewrDriver was good, vehicle wasn't all that. Would've loved for a more professional experience.
S. BussMargret S. the driver was excellent. She did great with the kids and was very professional! Love her!!!!
D. BalzerI payed for 8.5 hours of limo service. All my plans were set up.. In the end the limousine showed up more then a hour later. I had to cancel all the pick up destinations and pick up the people for the limo myself. I also had to call the Dinner place to have the reservation pushed back. Ones the Limo was there..the service was very good. But the one hour late etc was not good at all. Especially that I payed for 8.5 hours and for the miles including the pick ups, but then didnt get what i payed for. I also tried to call, and complain about that. Nobody was helping me and two times i just got hang up on.
T. LongOn Wed. April 1st at 2:30 Margaret called me to tell me she was the driver and she would be late at least 30 minutes to pick us up and wanted to know if we had reservations. I said we did at 6:30 and being late was not acceptable. She called her boss and when she called back she said there was not another driver available and that her boss apologized but would have to cancel as there was nobody available to drive. I told her to make sure that I was not charged for the limo and she said it was taken care of by her 'boss'.
N. Gittens
J. HodeshI liked how strict she was with our teenagers. I felt safe that she would take care of them in the limo ride over. I would recommend this driver for proms or any teenage event. She was a no nonsense person; which what teenagers need.
V. MeeVery disappointed in car. No TV but the biggest issue was no radio. That along with the fact that the driver was 40 minutes late when picking passengers up for the return hm. Since it was teenagers, I was very disappointed and uncomfortable with this tardiness. In fact, I was going to call for a price adjustment
J. BurnettIt was a last minute reservation. They confirmed that a limo would be there. The limo was almost 1 1/2 hours late. Driver was rude..... Lots of issues!

The U.S. Department of Energy has a plan to reduce the cost of solar power by a factor of 4 by 2020 with the hope that solar would increase from .05% of our power to 14% by 2030. The motivation is, of course, to reduce emissions of CO2. This is Climate Realism, very similar to Socialist Realism.

When considering history of the United States, it is obvious President Obama's orders cause greater harm to our citizens than taxes mandated by George III back in the 1770s.
President Obama's speech last week that re-emphasized his commitment to reduce US carbon dioxide emissions brought dismay to those who appreciate affordable energy, but it sparked a celebration among corporate types who have long sought caps and taxes on CO2.

The fact that natural gas is only given cursory mention, rather than being an integral part of Obama's National Climate Action Plan, exposes his true motives—which, I believe, are not really about carbon emission reductions, but rather furthering America's declining international status. Why else would he emphasize what has proven to not to work and eschew what we know to be effective?
Yes, the United States of America is being run by a man who believes that transferring $25 from every man, woman, and child in America to third world countries in the name of "climate assistance" is progress — and is just the beginning.

While the president regularly demonizes CO2 and "Big Oil" with his lips, his actions have directed something entirely different.

You can be sure that the 2014 legislative sessions will be filled with additional attempts to repeal or reform existing Renewable Portfolio Standards that could bring about renewable energy's reversal of fortune—and add to yours, as cost-effective coal-fueled power allows you to pay less, and your tax dollars won't be going to green energy schemes that line the pockets of political cronies.

Chopping Down the Birds: Logging and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
Kim, Helen M., Environmental Law
[A] national interest of very nearly the first magnitude is involved. It can be protected only by national action.... But for the Treaty and the statute, there soon might be no birds....(1)
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA or Act)(2) is one of the oldest conservation statutes in the United States.(3) To execute the international treaty established between the United States and Great Britain (on behalf of Canada), Congress passed the MBTA in 1918 with the goal of protecting all migratory birds in the jurisdiction of the United States.(4) In very broad language section 703 prohibits the taking and killing of any migratory bird: "it shall be unlawful at any time, by any means or in any manner ... to kill ... any migratory bird...."(5)
Recently, environmental groups and activists have begun to utilize the broad language(6) of the MBTA in more expansive ways in order to broaden the application of the Act.(7) Similarly, the government expanded MBTA enforcement by employing new methods.(8) Courts in various circuits have heard cases concerning logging projects that threatened to directly destroy migratory bird habitat, as well as nests, eggs,(9) and juvenile migratory birds in violation of the MBTA. Generally, these lawsuits have failed,(10) but scholars and courts alike question whether the actions of loggers indeed violate the Act.(11)
Despite the relatively clear language of the statute,(12) these questions arise because courts often utilize different and contradictory methods to interpret the Act.(13) Disparate application from each court leads to non-uniform enforcement of the MBTA and also causes unfair and unpredictable results. For example, loggers with the apparent approval of the United States Forest Service (USFS or Forest Service) have killed thousands of migratory birds each year and have escaped prosecution.(14) By contrast, both a person who received a product with a single feather from a migratory bird(15) and an electric company that inadvertently electrocuted a dozen migratory birds(16) were prosecuted.
Courts use three different approaches to limit the expanding scope of the MBTA, and these contradictory methods have resulted in a split among the circuits. The first approach is based on whether specific intent (mens rea) is required to hold the violator guilty.(17) While most courts find mens rea is not required under the MBTA, some courts continue to hold it is conclusive of MBTA guilt.(18) A second group of courts distinguish between direct and indirect activities that have taken or killed migratory birds.(19) Most of the MBTA actions against logging operations adopt this analysis and require a "direct" taking of migratory birds to establish guilt.(20) Finally, the third approach limits the scope of the MBTA through a proximate cause analysis.(21) This proximate cause analysis is the only method that uniformly and fairly applies the law.
The proximate cause analysis is the most just method of analyzing MBTA actions because one case often contains conflicting arguments when each of the first two approaches are applied concurrently. For example, a violator may directly take a migratory bird, but she may do so without mens rea. Analyzing MBTA guilt under either of the first two methods could result in a not guilty verdict in a circuit that employs the mens rea analysis and a guilty verdict in a different circuit that applies the direct and indirect taking analysis.
This Comment will demonstrate that the courts are improperly interpreting the MBTA to continue to allow USFS and loggers contracting through USFS to expressly violate the MBTA. Currently, USFS and loggers enjoy a unique and unlawful exemption from prosecution(22) that should not be continued. Part II of this Comment will outline the three approaches that courts have developed in interpreting the MBTA and explain why the proximate cause analysis must be used. …

Iran's Rogue Rage; Nukes: Iranians Want Nuclear Know-How-And Seem to Be Daring the West to Stop Them
Dickey, Christopher, Bahari, Maziar, Dehghanpisheh, Babak, Newsweek
Byline: Christopher Dickey, Maziar Bahari and Babak Dehghanpisheh (With Scott Johnson and Michael Hastings in Baghdad, Owen Matthews in Moscow, Michael Hirsh in Washington and Alan Isenberg in New York)
On the ski slopes of Dizin in north Tehran, boys and girls mingle freely, listening to Madonna, Shakira and Persian pop diva Googoosh. Headscarves are reduced to hair bands, and Mahsid Sajadi, a 25-year-old graphic designer, is sporting a Star-Spangled Banner bandanna her cousin sent her from Orange County, Calif. Sajadi, modern and cosmopolitan, has almost no opinions in common with Iran's rabble-rousing ultraconservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--except when it comes to nukes. "We have a right to have nuclear technology," says Sajadi. "We are a nation with an ancient civilization and rich culture. I think it's really hypocritical of Mr. Bush to criticize Iran for having nuclear technology while Pakistan, India and Israel have nuclear bombs."
Atomic research, atomic power, even the atomic weapons the Iranian government officially says it doesn't want are issues of ferocious nationalistic pride throughout the country, and Ahmadinejad knows it. Last week he provoked an international crisis by removing the seals from nuclear-processing equipment, ending a voluntary moratorium on research. After a firestorm of outrage from the United States and Europe, with vows to isolate Iran and haul the regime before the United Nations Security Council, Ahmadinejad gave a rare press conference. He was relaxed, folksy, cracking jokes. "If they want to destroy the Iranian nation's rights by that course," he said, "they will not succeed."
He could be right. The complex, contradictory game of secrecy and revelation, cooperation and provocation that the mullahs have played since some of their hidden nuclear facilities were discovered in 2002 has revealed just how little leverage Washington and its allies really have. But the Bush administration and European officials clearly hope they can appeal to Iran's supposedly restive masses to somehow oppose the regime. "The Iranian people, frankly, deserve better," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said last week. She took pains to say efforts to isolate the government would try not to isolate the people. But a senior European diplomat involved with Iranian negotiations, who asked not to be quoted by name because of their sensitivity, pointed out the basic problem with that strategy: "There are millions of people in Iran who want to move ahead with democracy, but unfortunately we have not been able to help them--and at the same time the nuclear issue unifies the country."
Increasingly confident, Ahmadinejad has played on the West's dire fear of nuclear weapons in the hands of a state that supports terrorism. Since he was elected last June, he's talked about wiping Israel off the map and questioned whether the Holocaust took place. "Outrageous statements that I don't think have been made in polite company in many, many, many years," Rice said. She suggested "it's entirely possible that the Iranian regime has miscalculated" and had not expected such an international uproar. "I would hope that now seeing the very powerful reaction of the international community that Iran would take a step back and look at the isolation that it is about to experience," said Rice.
But given the mood in Iran, Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may actually like being treated as outcasts. "The radicals can only exist in a state of crisis and isolation from the rest of the world," says Saeid Leylaz, a political analyst in Iran. "This way they can justify their presence in power and control the country however they want." That's no happy prospect for the skiers at Dizin, but the link between supporting Iran's nuclear "rights" and effectively backing the pariah regime that defends them is hard to break.
So where does the crisis go from here? At meetings early this week, the United States, Germany, France and Britain will try to find common ground with Russia and China for an emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors, probably in early February. …

with franchisee Bedrock Food Company Pvt. Ltd. As per the deal,
Bedrock Food Company will unveil 35 locations in the country over
the next five years. The outlets will be in six states in Northern
India and will be located in cities like Delhi, Jaipur and
Bedrock Food Company Pvt Ltd, a leading corporation specializing
in restaurant operations, boasts of considerable local market
knowledge. The company also has the development right for Subway
and is spreading the brand in parts of North, West and South India.
Bedrock operates approximately 185 Subway restaurants, indicating
the managerial efficiency of the company in that region.
The latest alliance replicates Krispy Kreme management's intent
to make India one of the prime markets for international expansion,
considering stepped up economic growth and under-penetration of
quick-service restaurants in that country as against the saturated
North American countries. Additionally, Bedrock Food Company sees
coffee and doughnuts as flourishing category in India over the next
couple of years. It also believes that Indians have a preference
for sweet food.
However, the Indian market is not free from competition.
Following the rising demand for coffee products, another U.S.
coffee behemoth
Starbucks Corporation
) is about to storm the market. Starbucks is slated to launch in
India by the end of August. Also, apart from local confectioneries
and brewers, many other U.S. restaurateurs are currently serving
the market.
Presently, Krispy Kreme's coffee and doughnuts are available in
over 690 stores in 21 countries around the globe. According to
management, the company's overseas expansion is expected to be more
in 2013 than in 2012. Encouraged by immense growth in international
exposure in the last six years, the company seeks to almost double
its current overseas store base within 2017.
At the end of fourth quarter 2011, the company had 460
international stores. It is also under agreements to open 270
locations in nine different countries. Comparatively, Krispy Kreme
has fewer domestic properties. In order to fulfill the target of
opening 900 international outlets by 2017, the company remains in
the constant process of identifying further possibilities outside
the U.S. It is concentrating specifically on Europe, Russia, India,
China, Central and South America apart from spreading in existing
We believe the company's extended global reach bodes well for
its financials. On the flip side, there is some fear of
deterioration in international comparable store sales from
cannibalization by the new stores. Krispy Kreme currently retains a

The only gun I ask for is a G36c. Please? Can I have it?
Full concept MODIFICATION of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat that touches every game aspect including textures, sfx, music, weapons, A.I., items, weather, mutants, difficulty and much much more!
The only gun I ask for is a G36c. Please? Can I have it?
then you havent seen the KAC PDW... google it.. and you will change your mind about what compact weapon you want ;)
It looks alright, the G36c is still my favourite gun of all time though.
well.... its still a good choice.. at least you have class ;)
Thanks, don't get me wrong, the gun does look sweet.
But there's always going to be a special place in my heart for the G36c.
ever shot one? a real full auto one?
Sadly, no. Fully automatic weapons are illegal over here.
And I don't know if there's a semi-auto version of it, so I'll probably never get to shoot one.
there is a semi version of it, but the way the laws in the US work is that the barrel has to be at least 16" unless you have a tax stamp, (getting that takes a almost 6 months depending on what state your in) but the full auto short barrel "real" g36c is one of the most fun guns I have ever shot other than an Auto-Ordinance Thompson (the real one, not the semi auto verson)
I am jelious. I don't think I would ever be able to get one over here sadly.
Really Good!
Will it be the same for all guns ? Like for the L85 (for example) will it have different profiles and even a Marksman version ?
I'm pretty sure it says in the features that it will be like this for all the guns.
I hope that a SVD will be reskinned... The one in misery 1.0 looks like someone dropped it in a glass of pan galactic gargle blaster...
Yes, but will it blend?
Holy smokes guys, this looks amazing and yet again makes me look foward so much to the release. BTW, how's it coming? Smooth sailing or some hindrances?
It saddens me that the 552 has the "Combat sight" permanently attached, I'm one of those guys that just uses ironsights, But I am glad to see so much variation in my favorite assault rifle, is the grenade launcher permanantly attached on the 550 custom?
I truly believe the 'sniper variant' should be more known as a 'DMR', or designated marksman rifle. Especially seeing as it still uses 5.56x45 (going off of the same-size magazine profile)
Also, the optic on it looks.. far too back. Looks like there's no space between where a cheek weld is to be had.
yes, that eye relief has to be horrible! the objective lens of the optic should be somewhere around the transition of the upper receiver to the stock
This is a best mod of cop i played,i love this mod!
(can you make a g3a3 mod?)
Real nice, my fav weapon.
Reminds me of this:
Is this gonna be for all weapons or something?
Just need my AS Val and i'm ready to go, just need to make sure it's not full of fluff and degradation first of course, wouldn't want my weapon to not work during a firefight after all, hate that... DX
Here's an example of what the "New Ordnance" submod does to the arsenal of MISERY 2.0.
It brings an incredible amount of diversity to most vanilla weapons but also some of those that were added to MISERY 1.1.
As portrayed here a SIG-550 is no longer just a SIG-550.
Now this weapon can be found in a neglected, modern, standard and customized profile.
Each profile having its own unique characteristics and attributes.
Especially the sniper profile which is practically a whole new weapon that puts it in the sniper rifle category.
Weapon profiles vary in weight, trading value, availability, reliability, upgrade schematics etc.
'New' guns degrade slower but have higher chance of jamming if they get low condition.
'Worn' guns degrade faster but will not jam that much despite low condition as mechanical parts are adjusted to work with each other.
Old, worn, rusty and neglected profiles even have their own benefits as with economy being the most significant as they are up to 50% cheaper than standard issue versions. They are also far cheaper to maintain.
Watch the New Ordnance trailer here:
'New Ordnance' (with _xXxTWiST3DxXx_ as original author) has ceased development as a standalone mod. But the MISERY dev team has brought it to life - and with the release of MISERY 2.0 you will have the full fleshed version of "New Ordnance" featured.

Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
This is essentially the entry for Dorothy Round Little in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004):
Dorothy Edith Round was born on 13 July 1909 at 25 Grange Road, Dudley, Worcestershire, the daughter of John Benjamin Round, builder and contractor, and his wife, Maude Helena, née Williams. She was educated at Dudley Girls' High School. Round played tennis from the age of twelve and practised both at school and at home, where her three brothers accustomed her from an early age to hard hitting. She first came to wider notice as a fifteen-year-old when she entered a small local tournament at Pwllheli in North Wales. Her parents were staying at the nearby hotel and Round appeared before the tournament organizer, a respected Wimbledon referee, in her school blazer with "a very ancient-looking racket under her arm". There was only one place left in the draw and this pitted Round against Joan Strawson, a well-known Wimbledon player. Strawson's "famous forehand drive", though, "held no terrors for little Miss Round at all", and she fought bravely in defeat. Strawson sagely predicted a bright future for the beaten youngster.
Round enjoyed a distinguished junior career and won her county colours in 1927. Next year, aged eighteen, she made her Wimbledon debut, but lost a close contest in the first round. In 1929 she reached the second round, but was summarily dismissed by Betty Nuthall, 6-1, 6-1. She was then a "steady rather than a mercurial player", but always learned from her defeats and practised assiduously. She was helped by the Japanese star Ryuki Miki, who impressed upon her the importance of correct technique. In 1931 she reached the quarter-final at Wimbledon, where she lost to Hilde Krahwinkel. In an earlier round, though, she had secured a "brilliant victory" over Lili d'Alvarez, which demonstrated "the richness of her potential when all shots were flowing".
In 1932 Round reached the final of the British hard court championships, and at Wimbledon the quarter-final, where she faced the seemingly invincible Helen Wills Moody. British hopes of an upset were soon dashed, the American "ruthlessly hitting her off the court". Next year Round won both the singles and the doubles at the British Hard Court Championships, and again met Wills Moody at Wimbledon, this time in the final. The turning point in a memorable match came after Round won the second set on a controversial line call. She sportingly argued that this should be overturned in her opponent's favour and appeared more troubled by the incident than Wills Moody. The latter approached the final set the more determined of the two and won it decisively to take the match 6-4, 6-8, 6-3. In 1933 Round also reached the semi-final of the ladies' singles in the American championships, where she lost to Helen Jacobs.
With Moody absent from Wimbledon in 1934 the ladies' singles title was thrown open. Round had proved her mettle earlier in the year at the British hard court championships, where she saved five match points to retain her title. At Wimbledon she faced a final against Helen Jacobs, who had won their last four encounters. From the outset Round took the game to her opponent, and never allowed Jacobs time to settle on the fast courts. She won the first set with flowing backhands and volleys, but overhit with new balls at the end of the second, and then allowed the American to square the match. At 4-3 up in the final set Round "staked everything on a volleying attack"; she won the next two games, and the contest 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. To a Wimbledon crowd accustomed to seeing Americans victorious it was a momentous occasion. With Fred Perry's victory in the men's singles it represented the first British "double" at the championships since 1909.
The next year Round became the first overseas player to win the Australian ladies' singles title. At Wimbledon, though, she appeared nervous as the defending champion and was defeated in the quarter-final. She exited at the same stage in 1936. In 1937, seeded seventh, she played some of the best tennis of her career, and won her second Wimbledon singles title. After defeating Helen Jacobs 6-4, 6-2 in the quarter-final, she faced the Pole Jadwiga Jedrzejowska in the final. She countered her opponent's formidable forehand with some dazzling cross-court backhands, but found herself 2-4 down in the final set. In the sweltering heat she went all-out: she broke her opponent's serve with a love game and went on to take the match 6-2, 2-6, 7-5. A combination of "mental determination and perfect physical condition" had carried her through. Her success in the Wimbledon singles overshadowed her achievements in the mixed doubles, which she won three times in succession, once with Ryuki Miki, in 1934, and twice with Fred Perry, in 1935 and 1936. She also appeared in the British Wightman Cup team, 1931-6.
With her marriage to Douglas Leigh Little, a medical practitioner, on 2 September 1937, Round's serious playing career ended; they had one son and one daughter, and lived at Cedar Gardens, Kinvert, Stourbridge in the West Midlands. She made her last Wimbledon appearance in 1939, when she was unseeded and went out in the fourth round. Her involvement in tennis continued as a coach, journalist, and later administrator. As president of the Worcestershire lawn tennis association for much of the 1960s and 1970s she made a valuable contribution to the British game.
Dorothy Round was one of only two British winners of the Wimbledon ladies' singles title between the wars; the other, Kathleen (Kitty) Godfree, also won the title twice. Round's triumphs were the more remarkable in that they were achieved in the era dominated by the "two Helens", Wills Moody and Jacobs. She was, though, an outstanding player in her own right, whose athleticism, grace and competitiveness invited comparison with the great Suzanne Lenglen.
A committed Christian, and for many years a Methodist Sunday school teacher, Round made headlines several times by refusing to play on a Sunday. Following her Wimbledon singles triumphs she published two books, "Modern Lawn Tennis" (1935) and "Tennis For Girls" (1938), cheerful and sensible guides to the game that she loved. She died of cancer at Kidderminster General Hospital on 12 November 1982. She was 83. Her husband predeceased her.
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
Pre-WWII tennis is something I know very little about and can only look at the "cold" statistics.
Ms Round if not the very best must at least be one of the three greatest British female players of all time.
In some ways it's difficult to judge in that she barely played a Slam outside of Wimbledon. Treading carefully around Australian toes any moderate world class player could have won the Aussie Championships in 1935.
She ventured twice to Forest Hills reaching 3r in 1931 and in losing to Helen Jacobs in the semi in 1933 had an excellent win over top 10 ranked Sarah Palfrey in the quarters.
No other British player since has reached 3 finals at Wimbledon but oddly in her other seven appearances there she never went beyond the quarter-final. She was perhaps lucky that Helen Wills-Moody was missing from the field in 1934 and 1937 but it was a magnificent result to beat "the other Helen" in the 1934 final considering she had lost her last 4 matches with her. Maybe the 1937 field was not the strongest ever.
But what catches the eye most is the magnificent performance she put up against Mrs Moody in the 1933 final.
We can only dream of a player of this quality in Britain today.

Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
I feel that Dorothy Round had the beating of Helen Wills Moody that day. Unfortunately the controversial line call at the end of the second set completely threw her off her game. In "100 Years of Wimbledon", Lance Tingay wrote the following piece on that 1933 ladies' single final:
"The strength of the British women's game was displayed in 1933 when Dorothy Round, who had to learn to live with her popular description as 'the Worcestershire Sunday School teacher', reached the singles final. It was against Mrs Moody and the Californian had been less rigorously dominating than the year before, being almost hard pressed, by her standards, to win her semi-final against Fraulein Krahwinkel [6-4, 6-3]. Miss Round beat Miss Jacobs at the same stage to justify her status as the second seed. The final proved a patriotic occasion for although Miss Round did not win, she averted defeat in a manner which for long had seemed impossible against the all-conquering Mrs Moody.
"The American victory was measured 6-4, 6-8, 6-3. It was the first set lost by the Californian for six years and that was enough to make it a memorable occasion. It was not, though, an unalloyed British triumph for if Miss Round merited her success by the stalwart nature of her resistance, the actual manner of it owed something to luck. Even so it was an exacting fight, the like of which Mrs Moody had not endured for years. The sentiments of the crowd were inflamed when Miss Round had a 40-15 chance to lead 5-4 in the first set. In the second her mixture of short and long drives continued to harass the champion and the British girl got in front 7-6. In the next game, Miss Round, serving, was 30-40, having been 15-40. On the next rally she overdrove the baseline. Or, at least, so she thought, together with Mrs Moody and the umpire, who called the score seven games all. The linesman, though, stuck to his decision of a line ball which everyone though to be an error. The umpire acquiesced, as strictly he had to do, but the incident, coming at so vital a point, proved a terrible distraction. Miss Round got the next two points to win the set. The crowd applauded practically every shot she played in the last set but by then her concentration had been marred."
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
LONDON, Tuesday.
Prolonged applause greeted Joan Hartigan, the Australian, when she defeated the British holder of the title, Miss Dorothy Round, in the quarter final of the ladies' singles on the central court at Wimbledon today.
The result of the match was a great surprise in the present Wimbledon series. The crowd was particularly impressed by the Australian's stoicism in recovering her best form and going after difficult shots, after an unfortunate line decision was given against her, and delayed her winning the second set.
Although captured by the English woman, the first set gave an indication of the strength of the Australian's opposition, and her determination to make a match of it. When a point was incorrectly given in her favour , Miss Hartigan was leading 4-2, and 30-0, and was loudly applauded when she served a double fault which may or, may not have been deliberate. After levelling at 4-all, Miss Round went on to take the next two games, and the set at 6-4.
In the second set Miss Hartigan led 2-0, Miss Round contributing to her success by two successive double faults. Miss Hartigan failed to hold the service, but led 3-1, slamming cross court drives to unplayable acute angles. Good serving and volleying gave the Australian a 4-1 lead. Miss Round again double faulted, helping Miss Hartigan to obtain a lead of 2-1, after admirable deep driving. Miss Hartigan, holding a set point, outed a backhand toss, and the English woman took the game.
Driving, tossing and volleying beautifully Miss Hartigan held two set points on Miss Round's service, but lost the game after a deplorable line decision. She was disheartened, and played badly, while Miss Round crept up to 4-5. At this stage, Miss Hartigan dropped another set point, but made no mistake when a further set point was offered.
As the match continued, the Australian showed further control of her drive, and finished with great coolness and determination, taking the match with a service which flew off the edge of Miss Round's racket.
Interviewed after the match, Miss Round said 'I just did my best. Miss Hartigan played too well for me.",
"The Daily Express" said "Nobody thought the modest, almost apologetic lassie from downunder could win."
In 1934, Hartigan (despite complaining of 'rheumatism' in her left leg and arm) won four tournaments in the UK (and was runner-up in three more) and made the Wimbledon semis.
In 1935, she won another three UK tournies (and another final) and made the Wimbledon semis.
Even forgetting her Australian successes in these years, her overseas success showed she was of much more than 'moderate ability' herself.
Hartigan was clearly the best Australian player, ahead of Emily Westacott. But another four women (Hopman, Bickerton, Molesworth and Le Messurier) had all played overseas - including Wimbledon - with some success. Entries in the 1935 Australian also came from South African and New Zealand players.
Young improvers Nancye Wynne and Thelma Coyne (who within a year would challenge Hartigan'#1 Aussie status - and presumably be considered of top 10 or 15 world standard) and Dot Stevenson added to the depth. And then we had the British team of Round, Dearman and Lyle.
This AUS v GBR match played in Sydney shows how even the AUS and GBR teams were, although Westacott had never played overseas and Bickerton had been out of top-level tennis for a few years.
Emily Westacott AUS d Evelyn Dearman GBR 63 108
Joan Hartigan AUS d Nancy GBR Lyle 26 63 61
Dorothy Round GBR d Louie Bickerton 64 62
Doubles - AUS d GBR scores??
Evelyn Dearman GBR d Louie Bickerton 64 57 61

Tennis guru Wallis Myers travelled to Australia during this season. Some of his quotes on returning to London:
"Australia had more young players of championship mettle than any country in the world, with the possible exception of the United States.
Referring to the Junior Championships:."the play was of remarkably high standard. No decisions were ever questioned and their was no gestures following a winning or losing stroke.
Girl players did not get the same opportunities to travel as they did in Europe but, like the men, their courage and calmness was noticeable.

Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
This pic on Beckenham's site does not identify her-but it is Round, presumably at the Kent Chmpionships sometime in the 1930s. Dorothy won the Beckenham event in 1933 and 1935.
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
That is a fantastic action photograph. Isnt it amazing that all great players of whatever era always have a level of concentration that is so much more intense than the average tour player? Looks like Beckenham was attracting great crowds back then. Cheers for the photo Rollo.

Here is a cigarette card of Dorothy. These tennis cards were popular in the 1930s and are collector's items
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
Dorothy Round
Would love to start some discussion on this legendary British player
Re: Dorothy Round Little - One of Britain's greatest champions
Here is film of Round beating Scriven at the 1934 British Hard Courts at Bournemouth. It's a real shame Round didn't contest the French, as peggy Scriven won it twice-the last time in 1934-weeks after this very match!
The capacity crowd illustrates how popular these women were in their day.
