Medjet Air Medical Transfer Testimonials
Below are some of the scenarios that have played out in real life in which MedjetAssist has been able to provide lifesaving help to their members, in a wide variety of situations around the world.
Empty Nesters Opt For Travel, Protected By MedjetAssist
With children grown and out of the house, it may be time to relish your own newfound freedom. Just remember to exercise a little caution so that even unexpected setbacks can be taken in stride. Dr. Samuel J. Bracken, Jr., and his wife, Joyce, learned the value of precautionary measures after Mrs. Bracken was injured in Rome last November.
A Terrifying Ski Trip that Ended with a Leg Broken in 12 Places
MedjetAssist made arrangements to bring Dr. McLain home to Birmingham as soon as she was medically stable for travel. "As a doctor, you get used to all the red tape and delays of dealing with insurance companies," Dr. McLain says.
How Much Does a Medical Evacuation Cost? Find out
"Dealing with MedjetAssist was a totally different experience. We called them at a time when our lives were disrupted and full of anxiety. They took total control over all arrangements to transport me home. All details were considered, and each and every contact was courteous, compassionate and helpful. MedjetAssist transported me promptly, safely and professionally. They surpassed even my highest expectations."
Two Travel Agents Wind Up Taking Their Own Advice
Travel agents Pat and Bob Watson faithfully carry their MedjetAssist card on their many travels, and they have always encouraged MedjetAssist travel medical protection for their clients. The pair has a newfound appreciation for MedjetAssist since their own brush with a medical crisis on a return trip form Hong Kong. The husband and wife team run Watson and Watson, LTD, in Scarsdale, New York. They were on the first leg of their journey home from an overseas symposium for Virtuoso Travel Agents when something went terribly wrong.
Jungle Stalker
As Garfield Beckstead made his way through the jungles of Zimbabwe last summer, he was unaware that a silent stalker was with him, waiting for the kill. But his stalker had no fur or fangs; it was his own beating heart.
Geoffrey Weill Breaks Ankle on Andean Peak
Geoffrey Weill experienced every traveler's worst nightmare. He not only lived to tell the tale but also experienced it in the most pampered and spectacular fashion possible. "Any traveler who doesn't take advantage of this membership truly should stay at home," said Geoffrey.
A Graduation Trip Ends in the Emergency Room
Eileen Shirk was heading down a highway in Acapulco, Mexico, with a Jeep full of friends when she saw the headlights of a tanker truck dead ahead. The next thing the 22-year-old remembers, she was waking up in the emergency room surrounded by people she couldn't understand.
An ATV Accident in a Tropical Paradise
Sixty-year-old Norine Gettys proposed a special outing for her family during a fall trip to their favorite Hawaiian island, Kauai. Climbing aboard All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) the group followed a guide into a lush jungle, planning to picnic at a local waterfall. Just one hour into the excursion, things went drastically wrong.
Injured Missionary Jets Home From Russia
Minister Clifford Lyons of Oklahoma routinely travels to northern Russia to take humanitarian aid to hospitals, schools and individuals, but it was he who needed help last December when a car ran a red light and hit him on a street in Murmansk, Russia.
Medical Evacuation
Regular insurance companies will usually leave you wherever you are, if they determine the facility is "adequate" to provide care. They will usually only transport you when they decide it is necessary, and only to the "closest appropriate" hospital or location. You will rarely be transported back to the U.S.
"Some providers will only bring you to the closest 'appropriate' hospital. We don't believe in the closest 'appropriate' hospital. If you want to go to Boston, we will take you to Boston," said a Medjet staff member.
One thing to keep in mind is that Medjet and a few other medevac companies are not insurance companies. You will not get billed months down the road "We are going to take care of it from beginning to end and the phone call a month later to see how you are," said the official from Medjet.
Read the Fine Print
Be sure to read the fine print of your regular health insurance and your travel insurance. Many health insurance programs will cover you abroad, so there is no need to buy travel insurance. However, if you are not covered and are worried about the cost of replacing lost luggage or a cancelled flight, then travel insurance is a good alternative. But, if you're primarily concerned with access to medical resources and air-medical transportation back home to the hospital of your choice in an emergency, there are better options than travel insurance, and Medjet is one of them.
Comparing Medical Flight & Medical Repatriation Services
MedjetAssist is a membership program, not a health insurance plan or travel insurance plan. As a membership program, it offers more and better services...and better value. Unlike the competition, MedjetAssist arranges medical flight and medical repatriation services for its members, both worldwide and domestically. Our members choose if they want to continue their hospital care at their home hospital, or any other hospital of their choice in their home country, through our network of authorized affiliates. And there are no additional costs to worry about and no limits on total air-medical transport expenses.
No Medical Necessity
MedjetAssist members are transferred without regard to medical necessity. This means members, as long as they are hospitalized as an inpatient, can choose to be transferred to another hospital in their home country, even if the facility they are in is considered adequate. The choice is theirs. It's that simple!
In contrast, health and travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits require that a transfer be medically required. In other words, as long as the care at a hospital is deemed adequate, transferring to another hospital is not an option.
Home Hospital
MedjetAssist arranges medical transport and medical repatriation services to the member's home hospital or hospital of their choice in their home country. The competition generally restricts transports to the nearest hospital that provides "appropriate care." This means individuals are taken to a hospital the shortest distance away that has adequate care, but not necessarily the best care.
MedjetAssist members, if hospitalized, do not have to worry about being transferred to a nearby hospital in a foreign country that has only adequate medical care. Members choose if they want to fly home to their local hospital or hospital of their choice in their home country to receive the very best care and to be near their family.
No Cost Limits
MedjetAssist has no limit on the cost of a medical transfer. Many companies and insurance plans place caps, some as low as $25,000, on the total amount available for an air-ambulance. But a medical transfer between Europe and America can run more than $70,000. Middle East and South American flights range from $60,000 to $100,000. Transfer from Asia often exceeds $130,000.
Domestic Transfers
Only MedjetAssist arranges medical flight services within the United States as well as abroad. Travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits only cover travel in other countries. If a MedjetAssist member becomes ill or injured and is hospitalized while traveling 150 miles or more from their primary residence as listed on their membership in the U.S. or abroad, MedjetAssist will arrange transfer to the member's home hospital, or the hospital of their choice in their home country.

The Graduate: L.A. Theatre Works
Plaza del Sol (Directions & Parking)
$40 / $35
Sat., March 1 - 8:00 PM
Producing Director: Susan Albert Loewenberg
Director: Brian Kite
Adaptor: Terry Johnson
Starring: Diane Adair, Matthew Arkin, Heidi Dippold, Jill Renner,
Darren Richardson, Brian Tichnell, & Tom Virtue
In the early 1960s, when Charles Webb wrote a novel called The Graduate, America was in an "age of youth." Young people were leading the way to social, political, and cultural transformation. Webb's novel, published in 1963, was groundbreaking in those changing times; reviewers unanimously praised his brilliant and innovative use of dialogue and comedic genius in dealing with controversial themes and the main character's lack of direction.
The film version, released in 1967 and featuring Dustin Hoffman as the lost but heroically determined Benjamin Braddock, quickly became a cult favorite and an artistic triumph, garnering multiple Academy Award nominations; it remains one of the top grossing films in history. The iconic film has been a touchstone for generations — representing the universal feelings of rebellion, confusion, frustration, love, and redemption honestly and hilariously, embodied by the characters of Mrs. Robinson, Benjamin Braddock, Elaine, and the additional cast of characters. Producing Director Susan Albert Loewenberg's presentation of this American classic is immediate, spontaneous, and features a first-rate cast.
Mrs. Robinson will be played by the accomplished film and TV actress Heidi Dippold who had a recurring role on The Sopranos on HBO and has also had guest appearances on NCIS, NYPD Blue, Alias, and Law & Order. She starred in the film House with Michael Madsen and was featured in Stardom and the campy-horror film Mexican Werewolf in Texas. On stage, she just finished the run of Smokefall at South Coast Rep in California with Orson Bean.
Benjamin Braddock will be played by newcomer Brian Tichnell who has recently been seen on Newsroom, Fetching, and Maron and will be featured on the forthcoming Silicon Valley.
Matthew Arkin will play Mr.Robinson. He's been a regular on television for three decades with appearances on Law & Order, All My Children, The Medium, Rescue Me, and others. His film credits include An Unmarried Woman, Liar Liar, Margot at the Wedding, and several others.
Tom Virtue will play Mr. Braddock. His numerous TV credits include long runs on Disney's Even Stevens, The Bonnie Hunt Show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Star Trek: Voyager, as well as dozens of guest appearances on TVs The Mindy Project, The Office, NCIS, Big Time Rush, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and many more. His recent film credits include Iron Man 3, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Blades of Glory.
The rest of the cast includes Darren Richardson, Jill Renner, and Diane Adair. All three have television and film credits and recently appeared in the LATW national tour of Pride & Prejudice.

I have to deploy a Windows 2008 Domain and all I have is two old (5 years) Hp 380.
Of course I know that the best in reliability would be to buy new hardware and I've told the customer that nothing good should be expected trusting old hardware in such a crucial service.
Done that I have to proceed anyway...
My question is: what could I do to make my installation the most fault tolerant (and of easy recovery - disaster recovery) possible?
Of course mirror raid will be done.
Is it wise to use vmware esxi? In which way?
Is it better to use normal windows backup? And restore it on the second server when the 1st one will die?
The servers I have are identical, hardware speaking.
No budget is available at all so I should solve the problem with the hardware I have and Windows 2008 R2 Standard.
I can, of course, use free software like vmware esxi.

Antisec hackers hit another FBI affiliate
Vanguard Defense is anything but secure
HACKERS WORKING under the Anonymous-backed Antisec banner have leaked a slug of data from Vanguard Defense Industries (VDI).
The firm, which is an affiliate of the sort of organisations you see written in a conspiracy theorist's diary, sells the unmanned Shadowhawk spyplane, for want of a better word, to law enforcement firms and organisations. It also does a lot of email correspondence if the leak is anything to go by.
"The emails belong to Senior Vice President of VDI Richard T. Garcia, who has previously worked as Assistant Director to the Los Angeles FBI office as well as the Global Security Manager for Shell Oil Corporation," reads the introduction to the leak on Pastebin.
"This leak contains internal meeting notes and contracts, schematics, non-disclosure agreements, personal information about other VDI employees, and several dozen 'counter-terrorism' documents classified as 'law enforcement sensitive' and 'for official use only'."
This is not the first time that Garcia has gained the hackers' attention, and they enjoy the fact that he is on the board at their earlier target Infragard.
"It is our pleasure to make a mockery of InfraGard for the third time, once again dumping their internal meeting notes, membership rosters, and other private business matters," they wrote, while a tweet from the AnonymousIRC account also celebrated the booty.
Anonymous has sifted through the contents, of course, to pick out the juiciest bits, which include plans for drone helicopters and the use of Shadowhawks by law enforcement, military, and private corporations which see them being deployed in the US, the Horn of Africa, Panama, Columbia, and US-Mexico border patrol operations.
"We are doing this not only to cause embarrassment and disruption to Vanguard Defense Industries, but to send a strong message to the hacker community," wrote the hackers.
"White hat sellouts, law enforcement collaborators, and military contractors beware: we're coming for your mail spools, bash history files, and confidential documents. Can't stop, won't stop." µ

Habits not Hunger - Day 4
Thursday, February 03, 2011
I ate within my calorie range today, but it felt like a restriction. I wanted to eat more, especially tonight after dinner. I'm not sure (and how is this even possible????) if I was really hungry, or just craving food like a habit, like a post-meal cigarette. I'm more inclined to say I was just missing my habit.
I find myself quite annoyed at myself for being such an addict. Addict, addict, addict. It's an awful word. My grandfather was an alcohol addict. His son, my dad, was both a food addict and a bit of an alcohol addict, especially in his younger life. My mother described how he ate all the time in the evening. That's what I do. I don't drink much alcohol.
You know when I started really putting on weight?? Right after I got married. My husband worked until 9 pm every night. I cooked dinner for him like a good new wife (and I was all of 20 years old) but I was hungry at 6pm so usually ate a dinner while I cooked. And then I felt bad about not waiting and I ate with him again when he got home. That only went on for one year, but it set a precedent, and not a good one. And added about 10-15 lbs. It was around this time he told me he "just wanted my 124 pound baby back". Not that it stuck in my head or anything for 35 years.....
One of the things my therapist suggested was to just write in a journal every day - whatever comes to mind. That's why this is a bit random, perhaps more negative than Spark would like, but this is what flew off my fingers as I sat here.
My trainer suggested whenever I want to "do something bad" I should consciously choose to "do something good" instead. I haven't really tried this technique but I think I will.
My name is knitstrong and I am a food addict. Today I ate on plan.

An addict you say? You know have me wondering if I am truly hungry at this moment or is it just out of habituation or addicition that I feel like this. When the temptation came to fix another plate of dinner I instead grabbed a spoon and dug out a spoonful of peanut butter. My stomach is not satisfied so here I sit in front of the computer wondering what else to do. BTW no blog that offers a look inside one's self is negative...it's reality. Thanks for making me take a second to think before going back into that kitchen.

We know that the hyperbolic tangent function, $\tanh x$, is less than one. I want to show that it is also less than a function which can be smaller than one. In particular, I want to prove that \begin{align}\tanh \frac\pi 2x\le\frac\pi2\frac x{\sqrt{1+x^2}}.\end{align} If $\frac x{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\ge\frac2\pi$, then $$\frac\pi2\frac x{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\ge\frac\pi2(\frac2\pi)=1\ge\tanh \frac\pi 2x$$ and the inequality holds. My question is: How can i show that this inequality is also true for the case $\frac x{\sqrt{1+x^2}}<\frac2\pi$ ?.
I am working on something, and if i show this last case then I will be done. Thanking you in advance.

CINCINNATI, Ohio (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Do you ever struggle just to walk up a flight of stairs? Extreme weakness can be a signal that something is seriously wrong with your heart. Now a new device is help people regain their energy and save lives.
Lugging heavy groceries used to be exhausting for John Brinker.
"It would have worn me out to do this," John Brinker, heart patient, told Ivanhoe.
John's energy level had crashed.
An angiogram revealed a dangerous blockage in his coronary artery, severely reducing blood flow to his heart.
Doctor Dean Kereiakes with The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati used a new mesh scaffold to prop open John's clogged artery.
"It will open the blood vessel," Dean J. Kereiakes, MD, FACC, Medical Director at The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Center, told Ivanhoe.
It releases medication into the blood vessel. Then, unlike a metal stent, it disappears after the artery heals.
"It slowly dissolves like a lollipop in your mouth and goes away, leaving behind a normal appearing and normal functioning artery," Dr. Kereiakes said.
John is one of the first patients in the U.S. to receive a dissolving stent. No metal left behind means a lower risk of clotting and stent fractures.
"I'm back as good as ever, maybe better," Brinker explained.
Today John's heart is healthy. He's full of energy and even enjoys a trip to the grocery store.
The dissolving stent, called "Absorb," is already approved for use in Europe and parts of Asia and Latin America. It's being tested right now in the U.S. Click here for study information: http://www.lindnerresearch.com/pages/absorb/. MORE.

Family Advisory Board FAQ
Ideas and feedback from patient families are very valuable. That's why we formed the Family Advisory Board. Since 1996, our board has included parents, caregivers, and hospital leaders who help to improve the quality of services and communication between families and hospital staff.

Q. What does the board do?
A. The Family Advisory Board is an advisory committee to administrators, physicians, nurses, and staff at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital. The board provides a forum to discuss concerns and then channels them to the appropriate hospital department. In addition, the board helps to evaluate the quality of services provided by the hospital and serves as an important link between the hospital and the community.

Q. What kind of issues does the board address?
A. The Family Advisory Board covers issues such as planning and operational matters, facility enhancements, and other topics related to the needs of pediatric patients and their families.
Back to Top
Q. How do the board's suggestions make a difference at the hospital?
A. The board played a key role in planning for Comer Children's. Thanks to their suggestions, the hospital was able to create a unique, holistic healing environment for the whole family. As a result of the board's input, patient rooms are big enough to accommodate family members and there are more common spaces for families, including sleeping areas and a family area with a kitchen. Families provided input about the signs throughout the hospital, art, the playground, and the Family Learning Center. These are just a few examples of how the board has made an impact.
Back to Top
Q. Who's on the board?
A. Members of the board represent the rich diversity of patients served by Comer Children's. Besides family members, hospital staff members on the board include the chairman of the department of pediatrics, the pediatric director of nursing, the vice-president of Comer Children's, and other key staff members. The Family Advisory Board is led by two co-chairs who are family members.
Back to Top
Q. How do I join?
A. To qualify, members must be or have been a primary caregiver to a child who is or has been cared for at Comer Children's. They also must have the ability to support the mission of the hospital, participate in at least one subcommittee, and represent the views of other families along with their own positions in an understandable and meaningful way.
Hospital staff typically recruits new members of the Family Advisory Board, and sometimes families volunteer to serve. Board members are selected to ensure that the board includes a broad range of families with children of many ages and past medical histories. This is done in order to have a broad sampling of diverse family experiences. » Download the application (PDF).
Back to Top
Q. How long are terms on the board?
A. Terms of office are for two years, with the opportunity to renew for two additional years.
Back to Top
Q. When are meetings held?
A. The Family Advisory Board meets on the fourth Tuesday evening of every month. Members of the board must attend nine of 12 meetings per year in order to keep active membership status.
The board welcomes input from all families using the hospital. Your concerns and feedback make a difference!
Back to Top
Q. Can one still provide feedback without joining the Family Advisory Board?
A. Absolutely! Some families are only available on a short-term basis, yet still have much to offer. Their services might be utilized on a hospital unit committee or for a particular ad hoc project. Parents with children experiencing long hospitalizations often have valuable feedback to offer the hospital.

On June 17, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research issued a series of clearly presented fact sheets regarding health statistics for five California major ethnic and racial groups: Caucasians, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. In addition the report provides detailed information on Latino and Asian subgroups. The report covers a wide range of health topics, from insurance status to fruit-and-vegetable consumption, to binge drinking. The data was derived from the 2011–12 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).
The UCLA center notes that the profiles contained in the report furnish detailed and reliable information for policymakers, advocates, researchers, media, and others interested in the health of adult Californians; it is particularly useful for those interested in the health of previously understudied ethnic and racial minorities.
The report authors note that the report contains detailed health statistics for five subgroups within California's Latino population, which comprise 9.5 million of the state's 27.8 million adults. It also includes separate data for US-born Mexicans and Mexicans born outside of the US. Latino ethnic groups covered include Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, other Central American, and South American. Health information regarding six Asian subgroups (3.9 million total): Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and South Asian.
Some specific findings for California's estimated 27.8 million adults:
Number of uninsured: Approximately 6.2 million California adults (26.6% of the state's adult population) had no health insurance for all or part of the past year.
Insured through work: Approximately 50% of Asians in California had employment-based health insurance, compared with 50% of 10 Californians overall. Among Asian ethnic groups, the percentage ranged from a high of more than 70% for South Asians to less than 40% for Koreans. For Latinos overall, less than 40% had employment-based insurance, while Guatemalans had the lowest rate: 20%.
Mexican groups and poverty: More than 70% of adult Mexicans born outside the US had household incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level (less than $46,100 for a family of four in 2012). For US-born Mexicans, the percentage was much lower: 44%.
Walking and health: Approximately one of three Californians walked regularly on a weekly basis. Latinos had one of the highest rates, at almost 35%, and Salvadorans were the most frequent walkers: 41%.
Californians and obesity: More than 6.8 million Californians (25% of the adult population) were obese. Less than 10% of Asians was obese; however, almost 40% of African Americans and American Indians/Alaska Natives were obese.

Anne Hathaway Has New Apartment, Press Savvy
The 'Rachel Getting Married' star is as bubbly and friendly as ever — up to a point.
Prior to attending the New York Film Festival premiere of Rachel Getting Married, which was held last night at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema, press were encouraged to keep their questions to Anne Hathaway on the topic of the film. Considering the actress has had a hell of a year, it didn't necessarily seem like too much to ask. Still, she volunteered up some personal info to us: "I just got an apartment," she told us. (We heard.) "I'm really looking forward to figuring out how it's all going to fit." Ooh! We asked her where the new place was, and she squinted at us. "America," she replied, and flounced away.

Elegant and gorgeous!
very nice indeed
Wow, that's excellent. Terrific work!
Beautiful! Can't tell you how much I love seeing work being done in the traditional ways now, in these modern times. Reminds me of art done by the old masters. Wish I had the knowledge and skill to do paint as you.
Fantastic Work!
awesome works, great.
This totally caught my eye tonight! I LOVE how Goth and how very Poe-like the image is. The woman is so dark, mysterious, and totally sinister! She's like a dark high priestess, an evil oracle, or a shadowy sorceress. There is just so much amazing about this painting! Something about her also reminds me of the Dust Witch from Something Wicked This Way Comes (the Movie, naturally). I always loved that movie, and that character from it, so that's a plus in my book. What can I say? This is just plain a classic piece.
why thank you
looks like a goddess
Don't take this in a bad way, but she reminds me of Kristen Stewart.. lol
You have a wonderful gallery, very impressive

SEATTLE - Top-seeded Illinois handed No. 6 UCLA its first loss of the season Sunday, defeating the Bruins, 4-0 in the finals of the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Tennis Championships hosted by the University of Washington.
Illinois, which has won 39-consecutive matches dating back to last year, never let UCLA (7-1) into the match. The Illini came out strong in doubles play, taking victories on the top two courts to take the doubles point. The Bruins' lone win on the day came at No. 3 doubles, where Philipp Gruendler and Chris Surapol defeated Ryler DeHeart/Pramod Dabir, 8-4.
Unfortunately for UCLA, Illinois was just as dominant in singles play, quickly taking three matches for the 4-0 victory.
First to finish was court No. 4, where Chris Martin defeated Bruin junior Kris Kwinta, 6-2, 6-0. Next off was court No. 6, where G.D. Jones defeated Surapol, 6-1, 7-6(5).
The match was clinched at the No. 1 position, as Brian Wilson defeated Tobias Clemens, 6-3, 6-4. The loss snapped Clemens' 22-match winning streak.
When play was suspended, Gruendler was up a set and tied at 5-5 in the second at No. 5 singles. Alberto Francis was in a third set at the No. 3 position, while Chris Lam had lost the first, but was up 4-1 in the second set at the No. 2 spot.
Illinois is the defending champion at the Indoors and captured last season's NCAA Championship as well.
Lam received the USTA Sportsmanship Award at the Indoors on Saturday.
UCLA is off this week and will next face BYU on Feb. 17 at home beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Members of the Glasgow swim team go through drills at a recent practice.
The Glasgow Kiwanis swim team finished in fifth place this past weekend at the Glendive meet.
The Thunder did have the highest average of points per swimmer despite the small number of swimmers who made the trek with 23.2 points per swimmer (pps) Sidney 20 points per swimmer (23 points for Glasgow).
"The team did outstanding," said Thunder co-head coach Irene Whitmer. "We had several swimmers that tried out newer events and they excelled in those events."
What has been the method of operation the past few meets for Whitmer and fellow co-head coach Whitney Billing is to pluck swimmers from t...

Fleas are attracted to light, so here's a few simple, DIY flea trap ideas to help you keep your sanity. The whole idea of the lighted flea trap is to "lure" the fleas into the liquid and then, they won't be able to get out!
Near a lamp, set out a glass bowl filled with a few inches of soapy water.
Also try:
- Instead of soap, add cooking oil.
- Instead of a water solution, use rubbing alcohol (it kills on contact!).
Note: I know that waking up to a bowl of dead fleas is gross, but this is war! And folks, war ain't pretty!

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has a Christmas present for car guys and gals: Starting December 15, the museum opened its vault, the underground section of its parking structure where it stores vehicles that are not on display in the exhibitions inside the museum proper.
There are dozens of vehicles in those exhibitions, but that still leaves two or three hundred hidden away -- until now.
"It's a part of the museum that has become almost legend," said Chris Brown, the museum's information and marketing manager. "If you're an enthusiast, you've heard about the vault of great cars at the Petersen. We get more and more people who keep asking, 'hey, how do I get down in the vault? "
You now can do that by signing up for a guided tour. Each tour is limited to 10 people, runs for 90 minutes and costs $25, plus the regular museum admission.
At the moment, those tours are offered only on weekends. But, Brown promised, "if it proves to be as popular as we hope it is, we'll extend it throughout the week."
Brown and the museum's new director, Terry Karges, recently offered me a pre-tour sneak peek of the vault and it was amazing to see what's there, including several cars formerly owned by Steve McQueen, a couple of concept cars, the bulletproof limo the White House ordered the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the specially built Ferrari used in the TV show Magnum P.I., specially built so actor Tom Selleck could fit inside the cars tight cockpit.
MV Agusta motorcycle collection goes back on the auction block
Remember that collection of more than 70 classic MV Agusta motorcycles offered as a single lot at Mecum's auction in Monterey in August? Well, the high bid was $850,000, but that didn't meet the reserve. So now those bikes will be offered as individual lots at the annual MidAmerica Auctions event January 10-12 at the South Point Casino and Exhibit Hall in Las Vegas.
The action that weekend in Vegas also includes the annual Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction, where the docket includes a 1939 BMW RS 255 Kompressor, the 1902 Rambler Model B, the only surviving 1905 Leo Two-Cycle, Steve McQueen's 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross and a collection of cut-away engines, hubs and motor wheels from a variety of manufacturers.
The Bonhams sale takes place at Bally's Hotel & Casino.
Mecum generates $11.5 million at Kansas City
Mecum Auctions wrapped up 2012 with an event in Kansas City that achieved a 65-percent sell-through rate and $11.5 million in sales of 520 lots.
The top sale was a tie -- a 2012 Chevrolet COPO Camaro and a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Twister Edition each sold for $140,000. A 351 Twister Mustang went for $130,000.
The auction as Mecum's 16th of the year.
Dan Kruse Houston event does $1.5 million
Dan Kruse Classics' second-annual Houston auction had a 50-percent sell-through and total sales of $1.46 million, led by a 1957 Jaguar XK140 roadster that sold for $75,600. The event was held in conjunction with the O'Reilly Auto Parts AutoRama at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

For over two decades the Undertaker has been burying people at Wrestlemania. Win after win, year after year the Undertaker's streak grew until it had become arguably the most important happening at Wrestlemania. Twenty-one wins in a row for the Undertaker at the WWE's biggest event of the year.
The Undertaker walked into Wrestlemania 30 looking to extend the streak against former WWE and UFC champion Brock Lesnar. Unfortunately, to the fan's disappointment, the Undertaker walked out with a loss.
I was there on Sunday night at the Silverdome err Superdome (Thanks Hulk). When Lesnar pinned the Undertaker, there was such a feeling of disbelief that the crowd was virtually silent. The looks on the fan's faces that were shown on the screens and on the broadcast was a complete representation of how every fan's face looked including mine.
Fans were in such shock that you could feel the arena wide expectation of a swerve. Would Vince come out and restart the match? Would Sting appear and right the clear wrong that had just taken place in the ring?
From my seat in section 340 the pin almost looked like it was botched. Of course after I watched the replay and then watched it on WWE Network it was clear that was not the case. The WWE did a tremendous job of selling the shock. They waited a while for the graphic of 21-1 to show and did not play Lesnar's music until after a prolonged silence.
As soon as it was obvious there was not going to be a swerve, the B.S. chants began. When the lights went out for a brief video only to come back on with all of the divas in the ring and it was clear that the Undertaker's loss was final, that was when the crowd boo'd as if 1,000 kittens had just been murdered in the middle of the ring.
The next morning during the hotel's complementary breakfast, I could hear other fan's dismay. As I was waiting to make a waffle, one fan casually asked me if I had attended Wrestlemania, of course I told him yes. He told me it was great except for that 'one thing.' We both knew what he was talking about.
He then proceeded to tell me his theory that Brock Lesnar stole the win, that Lesnar did not move from the pin when he was supposed to. Of course I didn't want to say to him that was ridiculous, so I just suggested to him that it is very rare that anything happens in the ring that was not supposed to happen to which he quickly reminded me of Survivor Series 1997.
Conspiracy theories aside, it is two days later and I still have a hard time believing it.
From the moment that it was announced that the Undertaker was facing Brock Lesnar, people asked me if I thought this was the year that the streak would be ended. The answer I always gave was a confident no. In my humble opinion there was no reason for the streak to end.
What made the streak so special was that it began organically. It was like all of the sudden, 'hey, do you realize the Undertaker is like 9-0 at Wrestlemania?' It wasn't planned out for the Undertaker to be undefeated at Wrestlemania but all of the sudden you had something and then the WWE ran with it.
The streak was as important to the appeal of Wrestlemania as anything else they run out there but now it is over. The reality is that there is not doubt that the one that made the call for the streak to end was the Undertaker. He is closing in on 50 and at some point he will hang it up for good. Was Sunday the last time we will see the Undertaker wrestle, my guess is no.
To make sense of it all, the pressure of carrying on the streak and stealing the show each year is now off the shoulders of the Undertaker. Those shoulders have carried the WWE for over two decades. The Undertaker is the greatest 'wrestling character' of all time. His loss can be attributed to one thing and one thing only, passing the torch.
Was Brock Lesnar the right guy to beat the streak? That is an entirely different subject for another day. Right now it is time to recognize the Undertaker as the cornerstone of the WWE and without a doubt one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots.
The streak is over, but hopefully his career is not. Yes there has been some decline in his performances over the last couple of years but as a fan, I don't care. I will selfishly continue to want to see the Undertaker once a year in the ring at Wrestlemania even without the streak.

Engineer Kenneth Weiland of Smith & Weiland presented the Helena-West Helena City Council with updated information regarding the broken 6-inch water main that crosses Caney Creek from Oakland Avenue (Highway 49B) to the Central High School campus. "Following multiple meetings with the mayor and his staff as well as representatives from J & R Contractors, I have attached a construction proposal to repair the broken water main," reported Weiland. According to Weiland, this line completes the south water supply loop to the school. "Following the rupture of the line, crews and equipment were used to stabilize the line and valve of the leg of the main line. Though the school is supplied by the north leg of the loop, this repair should be made as soon as possible to re-establish the looped supply of water to the school for fire protection purposes," explained Weiland. Weiland stated that he would consider this matter to be of enough urgency to warrant an emergency declaration by the water company to proceed with this work as soon as possible. "J & R contractors estimated a total cost of $27,794 to complete the work. This estimate is based on meetings and contact I have had with them to establish the scope of their work," commented Weiland. Weiland explained the Helena Water Co. has enough money for the repair and if approved the construction can be done within 2 weeks. Weiland stated that if the necessity of extra water pressure, for example a fire, was to present itself, the main would have to be fixed. A motion was made to accept the bid that was presented by J & R Contractors and to declare an emergency clause in the bidding of the broken water line.

Last August we ran a story about an Audi R8 GT painted by Audi Exclusive in Signal Green, photos of which had been posted over at AutoGespot. For those unfamiliar with the hue, Signal Green is almost a basic non-metalic primary green that was a popular color of choice for German cars in the early 70s. B1 Audi 80 (a.k.a. Audi Fox) models were available in the color as was the Porsches of the time and especially the 911 RS.
Audi Sport just finished a test at Monza and we're finding photos and video popping up online depicting the event. First up (as seen above) are photos from the Balang Project blog.
The blog has a whole collection of shots in addition to the one above and in them you can clearly see some changes in the car's design. First and foremost is the side window design and maybe even driver position
Though rumored for at least a month, Audi is poised to announce its acquisition of Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati says a Reuters report. Two unnamed Reuters sources described as "familiar with the matter" say Audi encountered no major stumbling
In a surprise move, Toyota has withdrawn from the WEC round at Spa-Francorchamps scheduled for May 5. Sources at Toyota revealed that one of the Toyota prototypes with Nicolas Lapierre at the wheel experienced an accident that required the team writing off that particular tub. As a result, the team won't be ready to go by Spa.
For Audi this means
We've just stumbled across the trailer of the latest Jason Statham movie (thanks Chris Onefastaudi) and the preview confirms a bit of Audi action in the film. Of course Statham isn't new to the Audi brand, with his Transporter series of films, his narrator's voice on Audi's 'Truth in 24' documentaries and his own S8 and A8 ownership. Still, it's nice to see the brand sticking with the
Interested in a facelifted A4? So are a lot of Audi fans, so we've no doubt the document linked below, the MY2013 Audi S4 order guide sans prices, has been closely scanned by members of that group. Our pal Zerin Dube from http://www.speedsportlife.com brought the PDF document hosted over on dropbox to our attention and we thought you'd want to know. See it via
As of this writing, I've had the mustang for a few thousand miles and the car is still pretty stock. So that begs the question, is the car actually fun to drive or is it strictly a numbers car? This installment will review what it's like for a German car fan to own something so strongly American.
My natural automotive proclivity is towards a balanced driving experience over something
Last week the Truth in 24 II microsite went live with some graphics. This week, we've stumbled across the trailer for the movie on the Audi USA website (linked below) thanks to Allan McNish who posted the alert on his Facebook page this morning.
Go to the site and you'll find links to iTunes for download, though the links still point to the first Truth in 24. We know we're close because of this and because
As major auto shows go, the 2012 New York Auto Show was a bit of a write off for Audi. There were no world or even domestic debuts for the brand. Maybe it was timing or maybe it was simply importance of this event for the brand but the lack of new models stood in stark difference to major shows like Frankfurt, Paris, Geneva or Detroit where Audi table scraps are sometimes more than other
So after about 3-4 days of looking and thinking, I decided that the mustang GT was my car. I started going to all the Ford dealers I could find in my area to try and purchase a base model car with the BBK. Well, there were none in my area. All the BBK cars I had access to were premium package cars that were just more than I wanted to spend. I mean, in a 3 state radius, there wasn't a car available that fit my requirements. So I ordered the car directly from the factory.

On loan from a private collection; LI.1050.4
This piece is part of an important silver collection formed by Sir Ernest Cassel (1852-1921). Cassel was a German immigrant who reportedly arrived in England at the age of 17 with no more than a bag of clothes and a violin. Within fifteen years he was one of the most prominent financiers in Europe, contributing hugely to Britain's prosperity prior to the First World War. He was made private financial advisor and treasurer to King Edward VII in 1902.

Brandi Glanville has been accused of a lot of things. Some have called her a racist, others have called her a drunk, and now, she's being accused of causing fake drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
"Brandi would call before filming for the day would begin…she would say, 'Ok, I'm going to start a fight with you on camera, and I want you to go along with it, but it's all for the show. I'm not really mad,'" a source told Radar Online on Feb. 27. "It was absolutely stunning that Brandi would be so bold, admitting to creating drama!"
Since Brandi makes her living off of being on the show, and has scored major appearances and book deals because of it, it's not surprising to hear that she could be go to extremes to ensure that she remains a part of the show. After all, if she gets booted from the show, how will she continue to support herself and her kids? It wouldn't be easy.
"Glanville is extremely insecure and she felt the only way she could stay on the show and become a breakout star, was to be known as the sh*t stirrer. It obviously worked because Brandi has two best-selling books," the source stated.
Brandi is always in the headlines, so when it comes to book sales, she doesn't have a problem. Not only is she a reality star, she's a media favorite. From the good to the bad to the ugly, Brandi is always making news, and whether her stories are fact or fabricated, they continue to pay the bills and make Brandi's career a success.

Common Dandelion
Seedling Description
Common dandelion seedlings emerge in early spring in lawns, pastures, gardens, and waste areas. The stem below the seed leaves (hypocotyl) is smooth, light green to white, and so sh011 as to be barely noticeable. It does not elongate and seems to disappear as the plant matures.
Seed leaves (cotyledons) are oval or spoon-shaped, about 3/16 inch (5 mm) long, and yellow-green. The lower surface is slightly paler than the upper surface, and the margins are perfectly smooth.
The first true leaf is round to oval and about 3/8 inch (1 cm) long. Margins have a few very small teeth that point back toward the base of the leaf. The midvein is prominent on the lower surface. Later leaves are more elongated and soon assume the toothed margins and rosette arrangement typical of the mature plant.
Common dandelion is a perennial and a member of the composite or daisy family. It develops a strong tap root that may extend to 6 feet (1.8 m). The dark green leaves are sparsely hairy, 2 to 10 inches (5 to 25 cm) long, and ½ to 1½ inches (1.2 to 4 cm) wide. They grow directly from the crown of the plant and, since the main stem never elongates, they form a rosette at the soil surface. The leaves are divided into toothlike lobes that point back toward the base.
2. Young plant emerged from a root stock; note absence of seed leaves.
3. Leaves become more toothed as the plant matures.
4. Composite flower head.
Dandelions flower in spring and fall, when day length is less than twelve hours, or in summer if there is sufficient shade. Most plants have several flower heads, each one carried separately on a long, bare, hollow stem (scape) that secretes a thick white juice when broken. Each flower head is a bright yellow tuft that appears as a single flower measuring ¾ to 1½ inch (2 to 4 cm) across. One dandelion flower head may have 100 to 300 "petals," and each one is actually a complete flower. This type of flower—a compact mass of many petal-like flowers—is called a "composite." While bees find the flowers a favorite source of food, these insects do not pollinate common dandelion. Rather, the seeds develop apomictically—without being fertilized. In fact, most of the pollen grains are infertile.
5. Mature seed head.
6. A healthy stand of dandelion.
The flower bud develops on a short stem near the ground for about one week. Then the stem quickly elongates, lifting the bud above the leaves. The flower opens early in the morning and closes the same evening. The stem droops and the closed head rests near the ground for several days while the seeds mature. The stem straightens again and the flower reopens as the familiar fluffy white ball of "parachutes." These are actually individual seeds, each with an attached cluster of hairs called a "pappus." The pappus breaks off easily and, with the seed still attached, is carried away by the breeze.
Common dandelion also propagates by its fleshy taproot. When the taproot is broken, each remaining piece can send up from two to five new shoots.
Common dandelion can survive in almost any climate and at elevations ranging from sea level to 12,000 feet.
Similar Species
Spotted catsear (Hypochaeris radicata), also called false dandelion, is a common lawn weed in the northwestern United States. lt is distinguished from common dandelion by its branched stems, each of which bears numerous small yellow flower heads. Each flower stem of common dandelion bears a single large yellow flower head.
The leaves of chicory (Chichorum intybus) are quite similar to those of common dandelion. However, chicory grows a tall, leaf-covered stalk from the middle of its rosette, while dandelion does not. By the time chicory blossoms, its bright blue flowers leave no doubt that it is not a dandelion.
Coltsfoot (Tussilago Jarfara) produces a flower much like that of dandelion, except that its flower stem has reddish scales, while dandelion has a perfectly smooth stem. Coltsfoot blossoms in early spring before its leaves emerge. Leaves appear later and are large and round rather than long and narrow like dandelion leaves.
Natural History
A native of Eurasia, common dandelion was probably intentionally introduced to America for its nutritional and medicinal value. It is found worldwide except in the polar regions and the driest deserts . Mainly a problem in lawns or turf and in overgrazed pastures, it is difficult to control by mowing because of its extremely low growing habit. The jagged appearance of dandelion leaves has given this weed its common name, which derives from the French dent de lion, meaning "lion's tooth."
Dandelion is a heavy feeder, absorbing three times more iron than do other garden plants, as well as high amounts of copper and other nutrients. This absorption capacity makes dandelion very competitive in the garden but also makes the leaves a nutritious food for humans. Dandelion leaves contain more vitamin A than almost any other fruit or vegetable; they also have large amounts of iron, calcium, phosphorous, and potassium. The young greens are mos( tender in the spring and are tasty when cooked "sweet and sour" or served raw in a salad. The blossoms can be made into wine, and the roots, roasted and ground, are often used as a coffee substitute.
All parts of the plant have been used for medicinal purposes, especially as a tonic for various digestive disorders. The medicinal use is reflected in the species name, officinale, from the Latin officina, which means "laboratory."
Dandelion should not be eaten if the plant has been sprayed with any chemicals.
Those who want to control dandelion in their lawns can dig out very small plants by hand, taking care to remove the whole root rather than simply hoe off the top growth. However, it is very difficult to get the whole root, especially if the plants are large or the ground is dry, and any portion left in the ground can sprout at least one new plant. Mowing the flower heads as soon as they open helps reduce seed formation.
If the problem is too pervasive to control by mechanical means, proper chemical treatment provides effective control. In lawns, the best choice for chemical control is 2,4-D, unless other weeds present are resistant to this herbicide. This is often true when dandelions are a problem in turf, in which case either MCPP or Dicamba may be used. Plants should not be watered for twenty four hours before or after treatment. The herbicide 2,4-D may also be used in non-legume pastures. Directions for time of application and grazing restrictions should be followed closely.
In small grain crops, MCPA and/or 2,4-D are recommended. Roundup may be applied in the fall or spring during a fallow period. In soybeans and perennial legume crops, metribuzin (Sencor or Lexone) may be used.
Hexazinone (Yelpar) is recommended for perennial legume crops such as alfalfa and the clovers, but it is not approved for soybeans.
For specific recommendations, consult your county Extension agent or the most recent Weed Control Manual and Herbicide Guide, available through Meister Publishing Company, 37841 Euclid Avenue, Willoughby, Ohio 44094. Follow label instructions for all herbicides and observe restrictions on grazing and harvesting procedures.

Why do people do reckless things? Why have an affair and have it documented -- cell phones reveal so much -- so that somebody else is going to discover your secret and you lose your job and your marriage? This is the subject matter that CBS' new summer drama "Reckless" will be exploring.
Filmed in Charleston, S.C., "Reckless" will follow Yankee litigator Jamie Sawyer (Anna Wood) as she goes toe-to-toe against charming southern attorney Roy Rayer (Cam Gigandet) in the biggest lawsuit of either of their careers: a sexual harassment case against the Charleston Police Department. Unexpectedly, sparks fly and the two are tempted to take their relationship outside the courtroom.
"If they act on their impulse, they will lose everything," says series creator/executive producer Dana Stevens. "I think resistance is so powerful in a show. So many shows have the push and the pull. When are they going to get together? So I felt like, if you had a sex scandal where the two lawyers, who are opposing counsel, are attracted to each other but have to resist, then you get your cake and eat it too."
The woman who hires Jamie to represent her is Lee Ann Marcus (Georgina Haig), who claims she was forced to have sex by fellow officer Terry McCandless (Shawn Hatosy). Of course, the case is way more complicated than that, and it quickly appears as if Jamie's boyfriend Preston Cruz (Adam Rodriguez) might not be the clean, upstanding guy he appears to be, but rather be part of McCandless crew of dirty cops.
Stevens promises the Southern drama will get soapier as the 10-episode season unfurls, and sexier as the characters from Roy, to Lee Ann, to Terry, and Preston, are all in a tangled sexual web.
"Each episode stretches that out more and more and there is a lot of romance, trying to hide scandals, the character of Dec [Gregory Harrison, who plays Roy's ex-father-in-law] has a mistress [Susan Walters] and a wife [Linda Purl] and they both know each other," Stevens adds. "It is a very Southern sort of way of this happening. Everybody knows he has a mistress and a wife, but they all stay in their separate corners."
With a Southern setting, Charleston became the perfect place to film. "Army Wives" had previously shot there, so there were seasoned crew members to be had, but there is also the charm of the city, which still has buildings from the 1700s standing, which is reflected in how people in Charleston live their lives.
"I think I chose Charleston because it is very cosmopolitan," Stevens said. "It is a bigger city than some other Southern cities. It has a port, so it brings a lot of story in internationally. It has a college, it has the beach, it has the swamp. It felt like I would have a lot of story and a lot of visual interest there. It has a lot of personality. I think a lot of people watch TV because they want to be in that world."
If you want to feel "Reckless," tune in when the CBS drama premieres Sunday, June 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

You already know that exercising regularly can help rev up your metabolism so you lose weight faster, but did you know that it's also good for protecting your knees? That's right, studies show that exercise can help reduce knee pain and stiffness, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and improve your flexibility and range of motion. If you're new to exercise, speak with your doctor about any new fitness regimen and also ask to get a fitness evaluation.
To help keep your knees in shape, follow these fitness tips:
proper athletic footwear. Wearing flat, flexible
shoes, such as walking shoes, which minimize inward rolling of the foot, can
help reduce stress on your joints and alleviate knee pain as you exercise. Shoes
with bendable soles that can be flexed in a range of motions also help reduce
the load on the knee. Be sure to also look for shoes with good cushioning and
firm midsoles to prevent overpronation, a type of gait common in people with
low arches. During overpronation, the lower leg and knee rotate inward each
time the foot hits the ground. This inward rotation can cause knee strain and
4 muscles at once. It's important to strengthen
the muscles around your knee joints, including the quadriceps (front of thigh),
hamstrings (back of thigh), abductor (outside thigh), and the adductor (inside
thigh). To do so, try this simple exercise at home: Sit on a chair and
straighten one leg without locking the knee. Hold this pose for about a minute,
then bend your knee to lower your foot halfway to the floor. Hold this position
for another 30 seconds, and repeat from the starting position. Do 3 sets of 8
repetitions for each leg or whatever number of reps is comfortable to start.
Build core muscles. Strengthening your core — the muscles in your abdomen, back, pelvis, and
hips — will give you better balance and stability and thus help protect your
knees. One good exercise to try is the Superman pose, in which you lie face
down on an exercise mat with your arms at your sides, palms up. Raise your
head, looking straight ahead and at the same time lift both arms off the ground
with your palms facing up. Hold this position for about 30 seconds. You can
repeat this exercise for 3 sets of 8 repetitions, or you can do a modified
version by putting your arms in front of you, palms down, [MD1] and lifting one leg and the
opposite arm off the ground. Alternate legs and arms.
proper mechanics when exercising. When performing
certain exercises, such as lunges and squats, make sure your weight is on your
heels and not on your toes. By not letting your knees go past your toes when
doing a lunge or squat, you reduce the pressure on your knees. Planks can help
strengthen your core, so you put less strain on your knees. To do a proper
plank, get in the pushup position with your forearms on the mat rather than
your hands. Your elbows should be
directly under your shoulders and your hands clasped in front of you, so your
forearms make an inverted "V." Press up on your toes so that only your forearms
and toes are touching the floor. Your body should be a few inches off the floor
and in a straight line from shoulders to feet. Keep your head and neck relaxed
as you tighten your abdominal and buttocks muscles. Hold this position for as
long as possible, or for at least 10 seconds, before lowering yourself back to
the floor. You should aim to hold a plank for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat as
many times as you can.
- Make sure to warm up and cool down. Stretching before and after exercise may help eliminate soreness and keep your muscles flexible. As part of your warm up and cool down, stretch your gluteus maximus (better known as your glutes), the muscles in your butt, to help prevent knee pain. The following move will also help stretch the iliotibial band (ITB or IT band), the ligament that runs down the outside of each thigh from the hip to the shin. Stand near a table or chair in case you need support. Cross your right leg over your left leg at the ankle. Extend your right arm overhead, reaching toward your left side. When you feel a stretch on the outer aspect of your hip and thigh, hold the stretch for a 10- to 20-second count. Repeat on the opposite side. When your glutes are tight, they tug on your IT band, which can also tug on your kneecap, creating inflammation in the joint.

When spending an afternoon sampling wine in California's Central Coast region, it's usually a good idea to hand the keys over to the designated driver. At Tres Hermanas Winery in Santa Maria, a designated driver is no longer necessary for RV travelers. After joining their RV wine club, members are allowed to park one night in one of the RV campsites for every $70 in wine or other purchases. Water, electric and picnic tables are provided in the ten campsites of this campground. RV wine club membership includes four shipments of three bottles each at a 25% discount. The membership also includes a twenty percent discount on tasting room and gift shop purchases.
Tres Hermanas is located in the heart of Foxen Canyon, not far from the Fess Parker Winery featured in the movie Sideways, starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. If you saw the movie, this is the winery where Miles learns in a phone call that his book deal has fallen through, prompting him to embark on a drinking binge that includes guzzling wine from the spit bucket. Because of the close proximity of this winery to Tres Hermanas, you could easily visit both in an afternoon.
In 2001, Marvin and Paulette Teixeira founded Tres Hermanas Winery by planting a small vineyard on their cattle ranch. The first harvest was done in 2003, and the opening of the tasting room followed in 2007. The ranch is still headquarters for the family cattle operation, and you may see cows grazing in the distance as you stroll to your RV after sampling syrah, sangiovese, or any of their other tasty offerings. The red barn displaying the cattle brand of Marvin's father still stands, and has been converted into an attractive party room which can be reserved for weddings and other events. An outdoor patio area includes bar and counter space, as well as a fireplace.
Providing overnight RV parking for wine lovers is a smart and innovative idea, and surely will be copied by other wineries in the future.

Photo: NASCIO's Doug Robinson -- "If you want to be a CIO you have to be a person who makes things happen."
Although there is no tried-and-true way to become a government CIO, a number of career strategies have evolved for professionals who aspire to the position:
- It's not all about IT: Gain a background in business.
While a grounding in technology is important, it's not enough. With a background in general business, CIOs can better understand their organizations' business imperatives.
- Learn to "speak two languages."According to Alan Shark, executive director of the Public Technology Institute in Washington, D.C., a CIO must act as a "translator between the technologists who work in the trenches and the politicians ... who just want to hear the facts." Public-sector CIOs must shift their focus from purely technological issues to those of IT governance and leadership.
- Gain sophistication in politics.Political savvy is particularly important for public-sector CIOs. As Liza Lowery Massey of The CIO Collaborative stated, "You've got to understand from the beginning that everything you do, even as an IT leader, is to help your elected officials get, stay and remain elected."
- Obtain an advanced education.
Rather than an MBA, aspiring public-sector CIOs might pursue a Master of Public Administration in order to better understand the public sector. Shark suggests a similar path of attending a school of administration and minoring in technology. Professional development programs for IT professionals also provide an advantage for public CIO hopefuls.
- Real-world experience: a must.
While an advanced education is advantageous for CIOs, experts note that there's just no substitute for experience. This may include networking with internal customers and peers, going to conferences, and volunteering. Doug Robinson, executive director of the National Association of State Chief Information Officers, also recommends seeking out assignments that help build leadership muscle. "If you want to be a CIO ... you have to be a person who makes things happen," he said.
Other requirements for up-and-coming CIOs include: curiosity, communication skills, negotiation skills, being able to collaborate and work across agencies, and the ability to work with agency executives as well as legislators.
The bottom line: Public CIO hopefuls must cultivate their IT expertise, business and political acumen, and real-world management experience in order to keep up with the continuing evolution of the position.

View Full Version :
benelli m2 or beretta 391
which gun would you choose and why? Trading a WIn SX2 and going to get either a M2 or 391
Rick Hall
From what I've seen in my commercial blinds and fields, the Benellis and Berettas are the most reliable semi-autos out there. With the Beretta offering gas operation's lower recoil and higher maintenance/cleaning, and Benelli's inertia system's lower maintenance reuirements coming at the cost of somewhat greater recoil and susceptability to human error (screwing with the bolt and not getting its face rotated back into the locked position it closes to if not interfered or fooled with is far and away the leading cause of Benelli "malfunction").
In my hands, the two guns feel quite different, and I prefer the Benelli's. But if the Beretta felt more lively in hand or I were a serious clays shooter (or particularly recoil sensitive), I'd probably favor the Beretta.
And, were it me, I'd also be looking at the less expensive Benelli-made-for-Beretta inertia-operated Pintail.
(Please know the above observations come from a fellow who enjoys the prejudices of having shot one or the other or both of the same two Benellis, a 12ga SBE and 20ga Montefeltro, virtually every open season day since their early HK import.)
I have the SBE II which is quite similiar. It feels very comfortable and I have not noticed a great deal of perceived recoil. My buddy has the 391 and it is nice as well but a little heavier and to me it is for a larger shooter.
Good luck,
I recently purchased the M2 with the comfort stock. So far I love it. It has less recoil then my 870, it's only 7.2lbs. and is very fast. I have used it several times at the skeet field and once while goose hunting over water. I got my first triple.
Mike Peters-labguy23
I own the M1 and love it. I just tore down the gun all the way and cleaned it in less than 10 minutes. I am not sure how easy the 391 is to break down but the Benelli's are super easy.
i own both. the m2 is great. the only problem with it is it tears up the brass on kent shells will chamber others brands perfect ! the beretta i have is a 390 silver mallard it will shoot anything. close your eyes and pick one.
The only real answer is get which one you want.
I?ve owned both of these in the 3 ? inch model. I prefer the 391 because it works for me better and a hunting buddy prefers his SBE. Here is my take on them:
The Berretta is a gas operated gun so it doesn?t kick quite as bad but it is a little heavier and it requires a little more maintenance than the inertia gun. To me it swings better and since it has less recoil I can get back on a bird quicker. My 391 feels a little beefier to me which I prefer. I do find I need to keep the action well maintained but when I do it is smooth as silk. The Benelli is lighter but like I said it kicks a little more. The stock is smaller than the 391, the inertia system works great and doesn?t require as much cleaning.
You have advantages and disadvantages in both guns but in the end either one is a great gun, it all comes down to which fits your shoulder better. If it is possible go to a range and put a box of shells through each one then you?ll know.
