Changes to Easton's downtown parking schedules and costs could raise $265,000 for the city, but revenue would be reduced substantially by the cost of new machines.
Included in the 2013 budget is a meter rate increase from 50 cents an hour to 75 cents an hour in the downtown. Meters currently shut off at 6 p.m., but there is a proposal to let them run until 8 p.m. Running the meters from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays also is being discussed.
But the increase comes with new technology to make downtown parking more convenient: credit card readers and multi-space readers. They could cost $150,000, although over several years, City Administrator Glenn Steckman said.
Going from 50 cents to 75 cents should bring the city about $150,000, Mayor Sal Panto Jr. said at a budget hearing today. He said running the meters on Sundays could raise $50,000, and that adding two hours to the time the meters are on could raise $65,000.
"Those two hours are the most used hours in the downtown," Panto said.
The city will lose some of that revenue to the costs associated with installing credit card readers and multi-space meters, an important way to modernize the city's parking system, city officials have said.
The multi-space readers likely will cost $40,000, new signage for the meters would cost $10,000 and the new credit and debit card meters could cost $100,000, but likely over the period of a few years, according to City Administrator Glenn Steckman.
"There will be some cost every year" until the machines are paid off, Steckman said.
Also, city officials will run a pilot program with the multi-card readers in the South Third Street parking lot. The results of that pilot program could determine how many multi-space readers the city buys.
"We're not just going and putting this equipment in," Steckman said. "We want to test and see how far it's going to expand."
All these increases depend on the passage of the city's 2013 budget.
Other than an increase to the non-resident earned income tax, the so-called commuter tax approved in August, there are no tax increases in the 2013 budget.
Planning and codes fees may rise, although the draft budget does not include details on the increase. Representatives of those departments are to give presentations at the next public budget hearing.
Tonight was the first public hearing on the budget since Panto presented it to council on October 1. There will be another hearing Oct. 30 at 6 p.m. at city hall, and the budget will be up for a formal vote at the Nov. 14 City Council meeting. If it does not pass that night, there will be a final hearing on Nov. 27 at 6 p.m., also at city hall.

Infectious Mononucleosis is a monograph in the true sense of the word. It is written in the first person by a clinician who has personally seen 500 consecutive patients suffering the disorder. This vast experience is complemented by an objective scrutiny of the world literature on infectious mononucleosis, which dissects the incredible amount of chaff from the few remaining grains of pure wheat. For years, Dr. Robert J. Hoagland has championed the concept that infectious mononucleosis is not a protean disease but rather a specific entity with distinct clinical, hematologic, and serologic criteria. His proof of this thesis occupies the pages of this book. He approaches every aspect of the disease in depth, cites areas of where controversy and lack of data exist, presents convincing evidence to support his concepts, and concludes with his own manifesto of infectious mononucleosis.
At times, the author creates the impression of near-solipsism in his

Clint Eastwood's empty chair has nothing on Michelle Obama's door.
In his strange appearance at the Republican National Convention in Tampa last week, Eastwood trash-talked an empty chair representing President Obama:
"So, Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you have made when you were running for election, and how do you handle them? I mean, what do you say to people? Do you just — you know — I know — people were wondering — you don't — handle that 0kay. ... What do you mean, shut up?"
It was interesting to see the Oscar-winning director use the invisible man as a trope to blast Obama. Anyone familiar with American literature knows Ralph Ellison evoked invisibility as the plight of the black man in a racist society in his classic novel "Invisible Man." To see Eastwood perform this pantomime before a nearly all white audience of Republicans was disturbing.
Thankfully, the first lady had a different audience Tuesday night at the Democratic convention: black, white, Asian, Latino. Her criticism of her husband's opponent was subtle, cloaked more in sorrow than anger. She delivered a lot of rousing applause lines for the party faithful. And absolutely nailed the defining difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney:
"And he believes that when you've worked hard and done well and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. No, you reach back — and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."
Every time the Romney-Ryan ticket proposes slashing Pell grants, student loans and other programs that help working-class and poor students succeed, Republicans are slamming the door behind them, content with their own advantages and achievement, oblivious to those who lack their ample resources.
Of course, they could be slamming the door because they just can't see us.
In which case, we're all invisible.

How did this happen? In a shocking twist to a tragic tale, prosecutors are blaming her death on another child – the babysitter's 10-year-old daughter.
The unnamed older girl now faces manslaughter charges in the death of little Brooklyn Foss-Greenaway. The case is generating controversy and tough questions about blame, who should decide the outcome – the criminal courts or mental health experts – and whether the young defendant can even be judged competent to stand trial.
"We are not even talking adolescent. We are talking prepubescent," attorney Walter McKee, who is not involved in the case, tells the local newspaper Maine Today.
Trust and DeathGreenaway had previously trusted a co-worker, Amanda Huard, to babysit her kids, and did so again when she left Brooklyn and her 2-year-old sister at Huard's Fairfield, Maine, home overnight in July. But Greenaway says she did not want the sitter's daughter put in charge of the baby.
"My concern was that she was only 10," Greenaway tells the Maine Sun Journal. "She did like to hold her a lot, feed her, change her diapers and stuff, and I was fine with that, as long as she wasn't left alone."
But according to Greenaway, the sitter broke that trust, placing the baby's playpen bassinet in the older girl's room for the night.
Greenaway also was told that toxicology tests revealed evidence of amphetamines in her daughter's system that matched the 10-year-old girl's medication for attention deficit disorder.
A Shocking DecisionSeven weeks later, on Aug. 30, prosecutors stunned many observers in announcing that the 10-year-old was charged with manslaughter. The girl, currently in state custody, is due in court in October. If found guilty as a juvenile she could face an 11-year sentence until she's 21.
The girl's attorney, John Martin, declined comment. "Given the nature of the case, I may remain quite close-lipped," he tells the Morning Sentinel.
Huard herself has not been charged, and has not commented. But Nicole Greenaway believes Huard is at fault. Huard also has been reprimanded by a state Department of Health and Human Services caseworker who wrote that Brooklyn "died as a result of your neglect."
That Aug. 10 report says Huard knew her daughter had "significant behavioral problems," did not remove a "screaming" Brooklyn from her daughter's care, and states the 10-year-old was not taking medication properly and "should not be babysitting children," the Bangor Daily News reports.
"She needs to understand that she didn't do everything she could to prevent it," says Greenaway, in the Sun Journal interview. " She didn't check on her. She left her with a 10-year-old."

A Microspectrophotometer Equipped with Photomultipliers22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745818View Description Hide Description
A spectrophotometer, equipped with photomultiplier tubes, is described for the wavelength range 2500–7000A. The apparatus is intended for the determination of light absorption in microscopic objects and is especially useful for studies of biological material. The guiding principle of the construction is that the object in the course of the measurement should have a fixed position. Some applications concerning studies of small parts of cellulose and wood fibers are given. The weight of the examined samples has been between 10−10−10−12g.
A Ferromagnetic Hysteresis Potentiometer22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745819View Description Hide Description
The potentiometer embodies the principle of the normal fluxmeter method of measuring hysteresis loss but, while retaining the accuracy, enables the measurement to be made in a fraction of a minute. The potentiometer incorporates a number of tappings which are connected to individual contact studs so that by rotating a contact arm the current supplied to a magnetizing circuit can be varied in a cyclical manner between two limiting values. There are intermediate positions of the arm which correspond to intermediate values of current and these values differ by fixed amounts from one cycle of magnetization to the next. The contact arm also forms part of a stud switch so that a search coil can be disconnected from a fluxmeter over the part in each cycle over which the current changes between the intermediate and one of the limiting values. In this way a complete rotation of the arm is made to take a specimen through twelve cycles of magnetization and since the intermediate current values are evenly distributed over a complete cycle the fluxmeter registers a deflection which can be related to the hysteresis loss.
Magnetization Hysteresis Loop Tracer for Long Specimens of Extremely Small Cross Section22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745820View Description Hide Description
An instrument for measurement of the low frequency magnetic properties of thin layers is described. The difference signal from two opposed pick‐up coils, one of which contains the sample, is amplified, integrated, and amplified again to cause the vertical deflection of a cathode‐ray oscillograph to be proportional to the intensity of magnetization of the specimen. A signal is applied to the horizontal deflecting plates of the oscillograph to cause it to represent the applied magnetizing field in the region of the pick‐up coils. A large reduction in low frequency noise in the difference signal preamplifier is accomplished by use of a circuit similar to electrometer tube circuits. Noise introduced through integration of sharp peaked signals is reduced by use of first and third harmonic components in the magnetizing field current. A signal equal to noise is produced by a flux change of 75×10−6maxwell.
Trajectories in an Axial Focusing Double Lens Spectrometer22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745821View Description Hide Description
The trajectories of an electron with zero canonical angular momentum have been computed with third‐order accuracy for a 1/(1+x 2) axial field shape. By suitably matching the above solutions with a set of similar solutions obtained by shifting the origin, it is possible to obtain the complete zero canonical angular momentum trajectories corresponding to the double lens problem in which the axial field shape approximates rather closely one that is physically realizable. The numerical computations illustrate several typical trajectories. Design considerations are given to illustrate the utility and limitations of the theory.
An Interferometric Micro‐Electrophoresis Apparatus22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745822View Description Hide Description
A micro‐electrophoresis apparatus based on interferometry is described. The interferometer consists of a modified Jamin arrangement, using only one plate while the other is replaced by a reflecting cell at right angles to the beam, thereby doubling the sensitivity. A cell filling requires 0.4 ml of solution. No thermostat is provided. Details of the optical and electrical equipment are given. The apparatus may also be used for diffusion experiments.
Apparatus for Vacuum X‐Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Light Elements22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745823View Description Hide Description
Air absorption in the conventional x‐ray fluorescence analysis equipment limits detection to elements heavier than calcium. To avoid absorption of the longer‐wavelength x‐rays from lighter elements, a vacuum system, or one filled with H2 or He, is required. A vacuum apparatus has been developed for the analysis of elements from magnesium to titanium. It contains the x‐ray tube for exciting fluorescence; a specimen holder for six specimens; a collimator to limit the fluorescent radiation to a parallel beam; and a single‐crystal, Geiger counter spectrometer to analyze the radiation. A pressurized, double‐film, nitrocellulose window is used for the Geiger counter because the usual mica windows are opaque to radiation from elements lighter than sulfur. For calcium Kα, the increase in intensity resulting from evacuating the chamber is 100‐fold, with far greater increases for the lighter elements. Alkali halides and gypsum were tested as analyzing crystals. An application of the equipment to the measurement of sulphur in oil indicates that 0.5 percent sulfur can be detected with ±0.03 percent accuracy in 5 to 10 minutes.
An Electron Microscope Photometer22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745824View Description Hide Description
The main purpose of this paper is to describe an apparatus for measuring the intensity of the focused electron beam as it passes through the final viewing chamber of the RCA electron microscope Model EMU. A portion of the electron rays serving to form the final image is collected by a metal probe; these electrons are passed to ground through a high resistor. The voltage developed across this dropping resistor is measured; it represents the intensity of the focused electron beam. Uses as an exposure meter in micrography and for metering the current density incident on the specimen are described.
High Pressure BF3 Proportional Counters22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745825View Description Hide Description
Construction and filling procedures are described for neutronproportional counters filled to 101‐cm Hg of enriched BF3+20‐cm Hg of A.
Examples are given of the plateau and bias curves obtained for different values of the gas multiplication. Characteristics taken at different times after filling are practically identical, which indicates that no deterioration occurs.
The effect of the electron affinity of the BF3 is discussed, and it is shown how the counter parameters affect the survival probability of the electrons, hence the quality of the pulse size distribution.
It has been verified experimentally that negative ions produced by electron attachment are present in the counter gas.
A Transition Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Detector22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745826View Description Hide Description
A simple circuit for obtaining nuclear magnetic resonance absorption signals has been developed. Conventional modulation of the magnetic field is replaced by frequency modulation of the oscillator, a method which is technically convenient for the accurate measurement of magnetic fields in the range of 1000 to 18,000 gauss. The principles of operation and construction techniques are described in order that the user may readily duplicate results.
Scintillation Counters for Radioactive Sample Measurement22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745827View Description Hide Description
A gamma‐ray counter for liquid or solid samples is described. It uses an RCA 5819 phototube at room temperature with a thallium activated sodium iodide crystal in the shape of an annular ring. The gamma‐ray counting efficiencies of this counter for 2‐milliliter samples of Fe59, Co60, and I131 are about equal to the beta‐particle counting efficiency of a mica‐window G‐M counter when counting thin samples. When the counter is heavily shielded, the background is about 160 counts per minute. The phototube operating voltage is not critical since over a wide range of operating voltage the counting efficiency and background count change only slightly. A directional gamma‐ray counter is also described.
Low Evaporation Rate Storage Vessel for Liquid Helium22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745828View Description Hide Description
Expressions are derived for the heat flux q 0 and temperature gradient dT/dh in a Pyrex cylinder (a) in vacuo and (b) in the atmosphere of cold vapor issuing from a liquid helium container. In the temperature range 20<T<300 we find for case (a) that q 0 α T 1.8 and dT/dh α T −0.8, while in case (b) q 0 T and dT/dh is nearly constant.
Design details and operating procedures are given for a 12‐liter liquid helium storage vessel intended to complement our Collins helium liquefier. It can be filled in one day's operation of the liquefier, and ten days later is still half full.
An X‐Ray Spectrometer for Polymer Studies22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745829View Description Hide Description
A Geiger counter x‐ray spectrometer has been designed and constructed suitable for the quantitative study of crystallinity and orientation in polymers and of relaxation phenomena associated with these properties. The instrument is designed for use with crystal monochromatized or filtered radiation, and has such features as Soller slit collimation, means of studying the materials above room temperature, and a Geiger counter monitor on the x‐ray beam. The spectrometer, pertinent techniques, and typical results are described.
The Panradiometer: An Absolute Measuring Instrument for Environmental Radiation22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745830View Description Hide Description
The instrument consists of four hollow, silver spheres 6 mm in diameter, of identical construction; one sphere is painted black, one white, and the remaining two are highly polished. Each is provided with a thermocouple for measuring its temperature, and an internal heating coil for adjusting its temperature. Total environmental thermal radiation intensity is obtained by measuring the heat input to the two spheres of lower temperature to bring the black, white, and one polished sphere to the same temperature when the instrument is exposed in a given environment. The second polished sphere provides for wind velocity measurements after the manner of a sphere anemometer. Measurement of direct solar radiation exclusive of reflected and scattered solar radiation is made by comparing the total radiation in sunlight with that obtained when the spheres are shaded from the sun. The radiant temperature of the environment is obtained by correcting the measured value of total radiation for the effect of solar radiation. A precision of ±4 percent can be realized for the measurement of solar radiation and of ±1.8°C for the measurement of the radiant temperature of the surroundings.
Erratum: Loop‐Line Windowless Flow Geiger Counter22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745831View Description Hide Description
A Microilluminator for the Study of the Infrared Spectra of Small Samples at Low Temperatures22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745832View Description Hide Description
An instrument is described which combines the functions of a reflecting microscope and a low temperature cell. It permits infrared absorption spectra to be obtained on single microcrystals at low temperatures, using polarized radiation.
The Design of Four‐Tube Decade Scalers22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745833View Description Hide Description
Design factors affecting the stability and speed of four‐tube sixteen‐minus‐six decade scalers are discussed. A design is suggested in which the stability and speed are limited only by the basic scale‐of‐sixteen circuit used.
Measurement and Control of the Level of Low Boiling Liquids22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745834View Description Hide Description
An account is given of a simple, reliable, and generally applicable electrical means for accurately measuring and controlling the level of low boiling‐point liquids. The sensitive elements exhibit at least a fivefold voltage difference for nitrogen and at least a five hundred‐fold difference for helium depending on whether they are in the liquid or the vapor. Heat transfercharacteristics for liquid nitrogen are also noted.
A Solar Furnace of 120 Inches Diameter for Studying Highly Refractory Substances22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745835View Description Hide Description
Previous work with large solar furnaces is reviewed. New developments in the design of the 120 in. (3.05 m) solar furnace are discussed, in particular the mounting of the reflector, the parabolizing of the aluminum shell, and the production of a surface of high reflectivity. Close control of the temperature to which a sample is heated is attained by means of an aluminum cylinder which travels along the axis of the mirror and which controls the amount of radiation incident on the sample. Rotating sectors are used for separating the temperature radiation emitted by the sample and the incident radiation from the sun. Heating tests for obtaining molten materials, glasses, and products of crystallization are discussed. Methods are presented for work approximating blackbody conditions at very high temperatures. A method for the accurate determination of melting points of highly refractory samples under pure conditions is presented.
Spherical Electrostatic Analyzer for Measurement of Nuclear Reaction Energies22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745836View Description Hide Description
A spherical electrostaticanalyzer was constructed for use with the Wisconsin cylindrical analyzer in accurate measurements of nuclear reaction energies. The focusing properties of such an instrument have been described by Purcell. It has the unique feature of providing a large solid angle and high resolution for a very small angular spread of the reaction products.
Only a portion of the entire sphere is used. This is 90° along the path of the particles with a 60° azimuthal opening. The mean radius of the gap is 18 inches and the gap spacing is inch. One million volt protons may be focused with a gap voltage of 20.2 kv. The analyzer is designed to fit over the cylindrical analyzer and to accept particles at an angle of 135° from the bombarding beam.
Alignment, focus, and resolution tests show that the difficult machining of the plates has been done satisfactorily and that the analyzer is properly aligned. A shutter allows small sectors of the total gap to be tested individually. A sharp focus is obtained and all sectors focus particles of the same energy for a given gap voltage.
Resolution tests and calibration are made using monoenergetic protons scattered from thin targets of heavy elements. A plot of the number of particles entering the detectorvs the voltage across the spherical gap gives the resolution. With 1‐mm object and image apertures the measured energy resolution is 650. The measured effective solid angle with this source size and resolution is 3.2×10−3 steradian.
A Cloud‐Ion Chamber22(1951); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745837View Description Hide Description
A new instrument, the cloud‐ion chamber, combining the functions of an ionization chamber (utilizing free electron collection) and the Wilson cloud chamber in the same gas volume has been operated successfully for a sensitive time in excess of 1000 hours. From studies of the gas mixtures with argon as the major component, it is shown that an isoamyl alcohol and argon mixture is a satisfactory chamber filling under the operating conditions used.
The operating characteristics of the cloud‐ion chamber are described.

Tips for photographing the moon
Use a telephoto lens, at least 200 mm or longer. This will make the moon look larger in the frame. Use a tripod or set the camera on something stable.Try to put something in the foreground, such as an illuminated building or bridge, that will give the photo a sense of place rather than just an isolated moon in a black sky. This will also help give a sense of proportion that will help show the size of the moon. The foreground object should be lighted so it doesnt silhouette. Use manual exposure settings and bracket (vary) the exposure. The automatic settings will include the dark sky and overexpose the moon causing it to look like a ball of white rather than showing the texture of the craters. Remember the moon reflects the sunlight, so it is much brighter than objects in the foreground. If you have to use automatic settings, try the preset for spotlight or stage that compensates for dark surroundings.The Post and Courier
Folklore blames all sorts of things on the full moon, and if any of it is true, then look out.
The moon will appear 16 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual tonight. Thats a lot of cheese.
Its called a supermoon and its happening because this months full moon happens as the moon reaches its perigee, or closest point to Earth. It will be the biggest moon of the year.
The moons orbit isnt round, so sometimes it is closer to Earth than at other times, said College of Charleston senior instructor Terry Richardson. The close approach happens to coincide with the full moon.
The best time to see it is when its closest to the horizon, or moonrise and moonset, experts say.
The moon, for psychological reasons, looks bigger on the horizon and this one will be bigger than normal anyway, Richardson said.
In Charleston, the moon will rise at 7:54 tonight and set at 6:39 a.m. Sunday.
Its a great time for photographers, Richardson said. The moon makes a nice landscape element over the water and bridges and things like that. If the weather is good, I might be out myself trying to take a picture.
Unfortunately, the supermoon might not be very visible in the Lowcountry.
There are definitely going to be some clouds, so Im not sure how great the viewing is going to be, said meteorologist Steven Taylor of the National Weather Service in Charleston.
There is a 30 percent chance of rain in the early evening and a slight chance of rain later, he said.
It could be clearing in the night, but thats a little optimistic, he said.
Whether its visible or not, the supermoon brings with it extra-high perigean tides, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
One thing I know is: Dont drive through any standing water, Richardson said. Even if it rains a little bit, and you might think its rain water, at high tide, its likely to be salt water.
High tide will be at about 8:20 p.m.
If the moon is visible, it could outshine a meteor shower tonight.
The Eta Aquarid meteor shower, the result of Earth passing through dust from Halleys Comet, is expected to hit its peak today and Sunday, with about 10 meteors visible every hour, especially leading up to sunrise.
The good news is, if youre out celebrating Cinco de Mayo and miss out on all the celestial activity tonight, dont worry.
Supermoons are actually fairly common, happening about once a year. The last one was on March 19, 2011, when the moon was about 248 miles closer than this time, according to NASA. The next one is scheduled to happen on June 23, 2013.

10 Tips for Planning Motorcycle Trips
At a service station in Kanab, Utah, I met a group of riders that seemed just like most groups. There were dressed in sleeveless T-shirts, bandanas, and jeans, and they were doing what many American motorcyclists, myself included, do all the time—ride across the country. The twist was that these riders were from France.
Their imaginations sparked by images of America, this gang had carefully considered their options, and then created a tour of the West that was both inspirational and inspired (read: manageable). When I met them, their two-week dream ride had already taken them from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and Page/Lake Powell. From Kanab, they planned to hit Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks.
Like most motorcyclists, these French riders were independent spirits. But they were also wise enough not to confuse independence with indifference. They understood that heading out without a good touring plan could result in groaning across hundreds of miles anesthetizing asphalt. With a plan, they knew they'd experience the trip of a lifetime and create great motorcycling memories. Here are some tips to help you do the same.
#1: Start with Your Interests
Are you a fan of the Civil War? National parks? Jimmy Buffett? Let whatever piques your interest be the first thing that determines where your road leads—be it to Gettysburg, Yosemite, or Key West. And it doesn't have to be a single interest, either. As the French riders knew, you can connect a lot of destination dots in 14 days. Of course, with limited time, you also have to . . .
#2: …Set Ground Rules on the Daily Ground You Cover
On my tours, I try to limit myself to 200 miles a day, which equates to roughly four hours of riding, leaving about five or six hours for planned stops and breaks and unexpected detours. So if you have a two-week vacation and live in New Jersey, it's unrealistic to think you'll ride 3,000 miles to the Pacific Coast Highway and make it back before your vacation clock hits zero. More realistic would be an in-depth tour of New England or a ride down Virginia's Skyline Drive followed by the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. But what if you really want to see the opposite end of America?
#3: For Distant Trips, Consider Bike-Shipping Services or Rentals
If your heart is set on a distant destination, you have a couple options. One is to ship your bike. Costs vary, but you can send it ahead on a semi and then fly into town for a tour. You can also leave your own bike at home and then rent one through companies like Eaglerider, which carries a wide variety of models, and Harley-Davidson. And, if you'd like to use Orlando or Washington, DC, as jumping-off points, Amtrak's Auto Train also accommodates motorcycles on its 900-mile overnight service between the two cities.
#4: Consider Your Riding Abilities
If you've never ridden your motorcycle in the snow, don't tackle Vermont in November. Not used to mountain passes? Don't assume it'll be easy to handle the steep pitches, hairpin turns, and high altitudes of the Rockies. Plan a tour that matches the climate and terrain with your skill level.
#5: Remember that Timing is Everything
An August tour of Death Valley isn't smart, nor is a tour of Maine in January. Plan to ride where the weather is right. Along those lines, I've found the best times for a motorcycle tour are the months of May and September. The weather's usually good everywhere, the kids are in school, families are off the road, and most attractions are fully staffed.
#6: Allow for Downtime
When you map out your route and create your itinerary, build in a day or two of downtime. This will keep you on schedule even if your bike breaks down, harsh weather prevents you from riding, or you simply want to take a break or explore a place more fully than originally planned. If your bike runs smoothly and the weather stays clear the whole way, well, then, you've given yourself an extra 48 hours of freedom to relax, read a book, take in a movie, check out another museum—whatever you'd like.
#7: Know Yourself: Lone Wolf or Pack Rider?
Deciding whether to make yours a solo adventure or share it with friends is matter of being true to yourself and your preferences. For me, a motorcycle tour is a declaration of independence, and getting caught up in the quirks, opinions, and varying riding-skill levels of others would bug me. Then again, the chance to sit and talk with other riders about each day's experiences or events is a bonus. It's your call.
#8: Budget Wisely
Days spent scrimping on gas, meals, lodging, admission fees, or worrying about whether or not you have the cash reserve to cover delays in the event of bad weather or a breakdown can easily transform a pleasure trip into an unpleasant trip. Be very realistic about your budget. Use your itinerary to price out the daily costs of gas, accommodations, food, and fees for activities or admission to sights; factor in a few hundred bucks for an emergency fund as well. If your gut tells you a two-week trip would break the bank, then plan on a single-week tour—and make it really great.
#9: Gear Up for Safety
A major part of planning is knowing what to pack. For a full rundown on bike gear and some packing tips, check out the article, Essential Motorcycle Gear. Also, since you might be riding in remote areas, consider filing a "flight plan." That is, leave your itinerary with a friend or family member and make arrangements to check in at specified times. This way, if you miss a check-in (or two), your contact will know something's wrong—and know roughly where you can be found.
#10: Have Fun!
What you've dreamed about for years is about to happen. Be open to everything you've envisioned and everything you see. And now . . . it's time to get off the laptop and get on the blacktop.

Use an S-Cable for your DVD player, and a component cable for your Wii. Dont worry HD/blue ray DVD players will be the standard by next year, then you'll have to switch to an HDMI cable anyways.
The only thing I can do is question number 3.Originally Posted by Wiily Good
I bought a switch box for switching component, composite, and s-video cords. It was cheap and you get what you pay for. It doesn't convert video settings, so you have to get about 3 different cords to make everything work. This is why I am stressing out about getting a Wii, because if I got one, I would have to use candles for the sensor bar and either buy the component cords (which I will do) or but another cord that goes into my projector.
Kind of a bummer, but like I said, you get what you pay for.

Why would you have to use candles instead of the sensor bar.Originally Posted by Pacer
Because as of this moment I have no screen and I don't wanna mount the sensor bar somewhere where I might have to take it down later.
Though I will probably get the screen before I get the Wii because screens are easier to find than Wiis.
Wow thats pretty optimistic. I dont believe they will be a standard for much longer than that. 1. So many people already bought a DVD collection, True HD-DVD players can play normal DVDs however. 2. Only 5% out there have HD sets, in order to be a standard it has to be much more than 5%.Originally Posted by Wiiaretheworld
I also predict the Blu-Ray will die as well, Sony is digging themselves a grave lately. Last Quarter results showed a VERY small profit for a company of that size. They lost a lot of money on the exploding batteries senario. They are losing what 2-300 dollars on each PS3. Three major game publishers left the PS3 exclusive contract with Sony, a big one being Koei. Many game developers are NOT impressed with the PS3 at all.
Connect your HD box to your tv using an HDMI cable, then you have an open component for your Wii.

John McGuinness claimed his 46th TT podium, with a 3rd place in the Senior TT.
Ben & Tom Birchall at Signpost Corner, on their way to victory in the Sidecar TT Race 2.
Bruce Anstey at Braddan Bridge.
If you read as many motorcycle news sites as I do, then you surely know that Honda is almost definitely probably maybe debuting a new "monkey bike" in the near future. The source of this news is Honda's recent application for design patents in the European and Japanese markets. Intellectual property filings are a great way of seeing what a motorcycle OEM is up to, but as our colleagues at Motorcycle.com correctly pointed out, they can also be a great source of red herrings. Fortunately or unfortunately, it's easy to jump to conclusions when one sees a filing that exactly mimics a show bike or concept, as we've seen this week with the Grom-powered Honda Monkey.
The above photo was sent to the Italian website Moto.it by one of its readers, and it is supposedly a photo of an upcoming new version of the Ducati Multistrada, which is physically smaller than the current 1200cc model. Presumably, this would make the machine in question then the Ducati Multistrada 939, thus adding to the Euro4 compliant engine's call to action for the 2017 model year. We say this all hypothetically however, because it is hard to verify anything from this photo…beyond the very obvious double-sided swingarm setup. What we do know is that the photographed motorcycle shares a chassis with the current Multistrada models, with both the cast and trellis pieces of the frame matching the Multistrada 1200 models, and not the Hypermotard 939.
More new model news, as filings with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) suggest that we will see two new Scrambler models debuting, later this year. We come to this conclusion because emissions papers from CARB state that "Scrambler CR" and "Scrambler DS" models are coming from Ducati for 2017, in addition to the models we already have from the Italian manufacturer. The two-letter designations imply that we are likely to see a café racer (CR) version of the Ducati Scrambler, as well as a dual-sport (DS) version of the machine, which we have already seen in spy photos. This news isn't surprising, since Ducati has made no secret about its desire to expand the Scrambler lineup.
You know the new-bike season is just around the corner, because we're starting to get glimpses of what the motorcycle OEMs will debut at shows like INTERMOT and EICMA. We've already had a glimpse of the 2017 Honda CBR1000RR, as well as the 2017 BMW S1000R, and if the folks at Italian motorcycle magazine Motociclismo are correct, the following is a concept sketch of the four-cylinder 2017 MV Agusta Brutale. The new Brutale is one of two new bikes that MV Agusta will launch at the EICMA show, with the other machine pegged as a special edition three-cylinder model. To be up front, we don't expect anything too crazy from MV Agusta for the 2017 model year, with the Italian company still limited in options by its financial situation.
Thanks to our loyal readers, we were pointed in the direction of some photos of what looks like a pre-production version of the upcoming 2017 BMW S1000R streetfighter (one of the machines we tipped for an update this coming model year). It appears that the new BMW S1000R is going to get a bevy of changes already found on the current BMW S1000RR superbike, both visually and mechanically. Caught at the Oschersleben track in Germany, we can't imagine how many people walked by this parked motorcycle, without realizing what it was. We can't blame them though, because the updates coming to the 2017 BMW S1000R are subtle, and you'd really have to know what you're looking at, in order to see the changes.
KTM's Moto2 project officially debuted today, with Aki Ajo managing the team that will consist of riders Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira. Like KTM's MotoGP project, with the KTM RC16 race bike, the Moto2 project uses some intriguing elements. Namely, the frame is of a steel trellis design, the suspension is provided for by WP, and of course the engine is a lightly tuned Honda CBR600RR lump. If looks could win races, the WP KTM Moto2 machine would already be a contender. That being said, we have high expectations for the racing program in next year's Moto2 Championship. Until then tough, we'll let you drool over the high-resolution images we have waiting for you, after the jump.
If you were hoping that the 2017 Honda CBR1000RR would be a completely new machine for sport bike enthusiasts, the following might disappoint you. This is because photos published on Twitter seem to suggest that the 2017 Honda Fireblade will get mostly cosmetic changes for the upcoming model year. As you can see after the jump, what looks like the new CBR1000RR was caught lapping for what appears to be a PR video spot for the Japanese OEM. While it is clear from these shots that the pictured Honda CBR1000RR has a radically new fairing design, a closer comparison to the chassis (see above) suggests that the machine is simply the current generation machine, with new clothing.
KTM is to enter the Moto2 class. The Ajo team is to expand its current Moto2 operation to two riders, with Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira (not Tom Lüthi, as we had previously reported) taking the place of the departing Johann Zarco. The team is also to switch from Kalex to KTM, as part of KTM's project to provide a career path for young riders from the FIM CEV Moto3 championship through all three Grand Prix classes to MotoGP. The names of the riders involved should come as no surprise. Brad Binder is a race or two away at most from becoming the 2016 Moto3 world champion, and Miguel Oliveira came very close to winning the Moto3 title in 2015, as Binder's teammate in the Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 team. Both riders are highly rated both by KTM and by team boss Aki Ajo.
The aerodynamic rules for the 2017 MotoGP season and beyond have been published. At a meeting of the Grand Prix Commission at Misano, a proposal from Dorna's technical team was accepted, banning aerodynamic devices in as general a wording as possible. Wings, bulges, and anything protruding from the front of the fairing are now banned. The proposal was drawn up by a small group consisting of Director of Technology Corrado Cecchinelli, Technical Director Danny Aldridge, and Race Director Mike Webb. Their main focus was to keep the wording as general as possible, so as to avoid loopholes for engineers to exploit. Technical Director Danny Aldridge will have the final word on any fairing protrusion, precisely to prevent any doubt about workarounds.
Every other year, the motorcycle industry gathers in Cologne, Germany in October, for the INTERMOT trade expo. The show provides a good alternative for the Germanic brands to launch new machines, with BMW and KTM often showcasing new models at the show. This year will be no different. To that end, BMW Motorrad is already getting its hype machine warmed up, telling us that several models will debut updates in Cologne. More importantly, zie Germans tell us that two new motorcycles will also debut at the INTERMOT show. What those models will be is certainly the conjecture du jour, since there are several possibilities that BMW Motorrad could be working on. This might make decoding BMW's game plan all but impossible, but we can still give it a try.

Samsung can now release its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia after Apple's application for special leave to appeal was dismissed in the High Court.
A spokeswoman for Samsung has confirmed the tablet will be launched in Australia in time for Christmas in the wake of the High Court decision in Sydney on Friday.
The three judge panel dismissed Apple's application for special leave to appeal a Federal Court decision overturning a ban on the sale of the Samsung product.
The ban had been in place since October, when Apple was granted an injunction preventing the sale of the tablet in Australia on the grounds it infringed upon Apple's iPad2 touch screen patent.
It was overturned on November 30, when Samsung won its appeal against a ban on the sale of its Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The High Court last week granted a one-week stay to allow it to consider whether to accept Apple's application.
In dismissing it, the High Court also ordered Apple to pay costs.

It's Comedy! From Skit To Song To Satire
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Published: October 27, 1989
''IT is the duty of the humor of any given nation in time of high crisis to attack the catastrophe that faces it in such a manner as to cause the people to laugh at it in such a way that they cannot die before they are killed.''
That comic dictum, originally pronounced by the hipster-comedian Lord Buckley, was reiterated last week by Paul Zaloom, the clown, puppeteer and performance artist, as an expression of his comic philosophy. In his one-man show ''The House of Horror'' at the Vineyard Theater, Mr. Zaloom -using puppets, slides and two large tables stacked with found objects - creates a funny, Swiftian vision of a world suffocating in toxins, trash and corruption.
Lord Buckley's dictum could apply as readily to the savage humor of ''Mastergate,'' Larry Gelbart's satire of the Iran-contra hearings at the Criterion Center Stage Right. In Mr. Gelbart's play, the corruption of language and the twisting of words into bombastic, self-righteous double-talk by Government officials is the symptom of a malaise that runs to the very core of 1980's Washington politics.
Both Mr. Zaloom and Mr. Gelbart belong to a tradition of satirical dissent in American humor that found one of its sharpest expressions during the 1960's in The Realist, the magazine founded, edited and largely written by Paul Krassner. Mr. Krassner, who today lives in southern California, has always been a stand-up commentator as well as a writer-editor, and this Sunday evening, the 57-year-old humorist will appear at the Comedy Spot at the Top of the Village Gate.
In a somewhat lighter mode, the cabaret trio Chris Durang and Dawne (the playwright Christopher Durang and his actor friends John Augustine and Sherry Anderson), cast a jaundiced eye on American popular song at the Criterion Center Cabaret. No one before Mr. Durang has performed Guns 'n' Roses' sneering hard-rock song ''Welcome to the Jungle'' side by side with Stephen Sondheim's ''Weekend in the Country,'' and the juxtaposition is grotesquely amusing.
The Criterion Center theater and cabaret complex, which houses ''Mastergate'' and two performances a week of Chris Durang and Dawne may be the comedy capitol of America at the moment. This weekend ''The Laughs and Times of David Brenner,'' a 90-minute one-man show by the comedian, who is making his first New York appearance in a decade, concludes two weeks of performances in the cabaret. But the show may soon return to New York, since Mr. Brenner hopes to take it to Broadway for an extended run.
In the same space, ''Say Something Funny,'' a play about the stand-up comedy world, is also having late-evening performances, Tuesdays through Thursdays. Created by seven stand-up comics - Courtenay Collins, Jerry Diner, Dean Edelson, Michael Patrick King, Sue Kolinsky, Jon Manfrellotti and Marty Rackham - it is presented in a setting that incorporates various playing areas throughout the theater.
Only a few blocks to the west of Broadway, at the Kaufman Theater, the Manhattan Punch Line Theater has just begun its fall series New Vaudeville '89. For the next three weeks, the company will survey the entire field of comedy, from improvisation to performance art, from mime to musical spoof. This weekend's events center around the comedy scene of Boston, which along with that of San Francisco, is perhaps the liveliest and most progressive to be found outside of the show-business hubs of New York and Los Angeles.
Tonight through Sunday, ''The Best of Boston Weekend'' will showcase the Gramm-Rudman Act, which features performers from the long-running Boston cabaret show ''Sheer Madness,'' and the Beau Jest Movement Theater, a group that combines singing, dancing, improvisation and mime. Paul Zaloom
Mr. Zaloom's show ''The House of Horror'' also mixes genres. The show, which originated at Dance Theater Workshop last season, involves puppetry and performance art. It marks Mr. Zaloom's emergence as one of the most original and talented political satirists to work in the theater.
A longtime member of the Bread and Puppet Theater, whose unsubtle mode of street-theater he personalizes in his blunt, funny style, Mr. Zaloom has been creating performance pieces for the last 11 years. He is especially fond of incorporating found objects into puppetlike figures that he often treats quite roughly. And in the section of his show called ''Yikes!,'' which presents swift, slashing critiques of religion, the justice system and an international peace conference, military officials are symbolized by cast-off trophies, and lobbyists and Congressmen by plastic back-scratchers.
''As a kid growing up in Garden City, L.I., I was always interested in found objects, and I've always liked to rummage around in dumps,'' Mr. Zaloom said. ''In my very first piece, 'The World of Plastic,' I used old linoleoum and parts of old radios, but the stuff wasn't operating as metaphorically as it is now.''
In the title piece of his new show, Mr. Zaloom tells the story of the Smiths from the Bronx who, as an incentive to buy a suburban dream house, are given the chance to live in it briefly. Heaven quickly turns into hell as, one by one, the family members are overcome by the chemicals in the furniture, carpeting and air freshener.

Ingredients and Quality
Blue-Green Algae
Quality And Ingredients
The Synergy Company's meticulous attention to quality makes all the difference. Our organic and kosher Blue-Green Algae is simply the highest-quality Klamath Lake blue-green algae available. When you consume The Synergy Company's Blue-Green Algae, you know you are safely receiving all the amazing health benefits and vibrant life energy this potent, nourishing superfood offers!
Our algae is exclusively harvested according to our stringent quality control program. The Synergy Company developed and implemented unique harvesting techniques over 15 years ago to ensure the extraordinary purity and quality of our Blue-Green Algae. Using custom-designed equipment, we meticulously harvest from the clear, pristine waters of Upper Klamath Lake. This lake sparkles with fresh mountain spring water. Additionally, we harvest only at the peak of bloom, when our algae's nutrients are at their highest concentrations.
Immediately after we harvest the algae, we triple-filter it using a state-of-the-art ultra-effective filtration system. Similar to reverse osmosis systems used in water purification, this unique filtration method ensures Blue-Green Algae is free of any possible contaminants. The algae is then immediately chilled to temperatures below 38° to preserve all of its vibrant constituents, including enzymes, chlorophyll, and other valuable phytonutrients, amino acids, RNA, DNA, vitamins, and minerals.
The powerful nutrient components in whole, live foods are easily destroyed by exposure to heat, so the method by which algae is dried is particularly important. Our iridescent Blue-Green Algae is protected with our unique cold-drying technology, which prevents the degradation of algae's fragile nutrients. Studies have shown that this drying preserves 20% more of fresh algae's carotene content than the next best drying method. Our drying method also enhances solubility. Blue-Green Algae disperses easily in water and has a very mild taste.
Our algae passes the most stringent scientific tests to certify purity. Our standards are stricter than those used by the World Health Organization to determine the safety of drinking water. After the harvesting and filtration processes, samples of our algae are sent to the foremost independent laboratory in the field of algae testing; this lab is certified by the USDA and registered with the FDA. A complete spectrum of tests is performed at the laboratory to confirm that our algae is indeed the rare Klamath Lake algae and that it is free of impurities.
Blue-Green Algae is prepared and packaged at our own award-winning, FDA-registered production facility, where we are certified to manufacture organic and kosher products. Utilizing our special Ultra Fresh Packaging ™ methods, we vacuum-seal Blue-Green Algae in amber glass to fully protect all of its potent properties.

We offer a wide variety of rabbit hutches for sale and also provide free information on rabbit hutch selection. Free Shipping is offered on select orders.
Almost all of the successful rabbit raisers that I have met over the years seem to agree that every rabbit should have a rabbit hutch or cage to live or temporarily reside in. In my opinion a rabbit hutch is one of the most important and useful rabbit supplies that you can decide to buy. In this article I will be sharing with you some information about buying rabbit hutches. But before I dig in, let me take a moment to discuss the benefits of owning a rabbit hutch. If you are in a hurry, you can decide to jump directly to the rabbit hutches for sale section to purchase your rabbit hutch(es).
Rabbit Supplies Catalog: Click here to download our 20+ Page Rabbit Hutches for Sale Catalog for Free
Benefits of Owning a Rabbit Hutch
- Hutches Provide Security: Rabbit Hutches help protect your rabbits from potential predators in your area. They will help provide a safe place for your rabbits to live away from domestic predators such as dogs and cats. I hate to hear stories of tragic rabbit deaths because someone didn't take the time to adequately protect their beloved rabbits from predators. Please remember rabbits are considered "prey animals" for a very good reason. The good news is that you can help protect your rabbits from danger by simply keeping your future rabbits in fully enclosed rabbit hutches. If you are interested in purchasing a rabbit hutch please check out our rabbit hutches for sale section.
- Hutches are Great for Containment: From time to time you will need to contain your rabbits even if you only have a couple indoor pet bunnies. Unless you train your rabbits to behave properly when left unattended it is best to keep them in a hutch or cage while you are gone from the house. Bunnies love to chew and might end up chewing things like phone, computer and TV cords when left unattended. Also if you leave a rabbit unattended in a large non-enclosed area there is a good chance that trouble could arise and your rabbit could be harmed. Like I mentioned earlier rabbits are considered "prey" animals for good reason.
- Hutches are Great for Performance: Rabbits that are kept in nice spacious rabbit hutches that provide them with a sense of physical and emotional security tend to do better. If you are planning on breeding your rabbits, you definitely want to purchase several good quality rabbit hutches or rabbit cages. From personal experience I have noticed that when a mother rabbit feels safe and secure she will tend to take better care of her bunnies.
Buying Rabbit Hutches
Many rabbit enthusiasts who first get into the rabbit industry end up making mistakes when buying rabbit hutches. Unfortunately hutches are not made in a way that "one size fits all". Different breeds of rabbits will require different types and sizes of rabbit hutches. To help you out in your rabbit supplies selection endeavor, here is a list of factors that you should take into consideration before deciding to purchase a hutch for your bunny rabbits.
1. Rabbit Hutch Size: The most important thing to consider when buying rabbit hutches is rabbit hutch size. Your bunny rabbits will ideally need to have a large spacious rabbit hutch that allows them room to grow, prosper and of course have a "good ole bunny time". I recommend that you purchase a rabbit hutch or cage for your rabbits that is at least four times their full grown size. This way they will have enough room to move around and function properly. Large commercial rabbit expeditions tend to keep smaller cages or hutches for space reasons. Just imagine a building with 5,000+ rabbits living in it!! If you are planning to become a backyard rabbit breeder I suggest that you get the biggest hutches that you can find and that will fit your space requirements.
2. Rabbit Hutch Security: The rabbit hutch that you decide to purchase must be secure enough to help keep your rabbits safe from potential predators such as dogs, cats, hawks and snakes. Saying this, I highly recommend that you get a hutch that is fully enclosed with wire or a wire and wood combo. The hutch should not be open on the top unless it is kept in a fully enclosed barn that keeps out all predators. Rabbits will naturally "freak out" when something moves above them and might end up seriously hurting themselves if a large bird flies overhead. For this reason I recommend keeping your hutches under a roof of some kind.
3. Rabbit Hutch Useability: You will want to get a rabbit hutch that will prove to be very "usable" in your rabbitry. By useable I mean, able to fit needed space requirements, moderately easy to move around if need be, and easy to navigate around fully for cleaning and maintenance purposes. You will also want to be able to open the hutch door or top and reach to the back of your hutch so that you can easily take out your rabbits if need be. Trust me… if you plan on keeping lots of rabbits, hutch usability is essential.
4. Rabbit Hutch Cleanliness: When buying a rabbit hutch you will ideally want to find one that is clean and that will be easy to clean up again in the future. For this very reason, I personally prefer all-wire rabbit cages rather than big bulky rabbit hutches. Although the wooden hutches are sturdy, easier to setup and better looking… they can be kind of troublesome to properly clean up. Saying that… you are also completely free to do what you want. I actually started with wooden rabbit hutches and later moved to all wire cages.
5. Rabbit Cage Quality (DUH!): Your single largest rabbitry expense to begin with will be your hutches or cages. If you are going to spend a good amount of money on something I would hope that you would at least care about quality. Its much more money efficient in the long run to go ahead and purchase top quality rabbit hutches to begin with rather than have to upgrade in the future which would result in a double purchase. When evaluating hutches on their quality you ideally want to find one that is well assembled, looks nice, and that has a strong thick cage wire. Just for the record, if a rabbit hutch is covered in rust that is a bad quality indicator! To find quality rabbit hutches for sale check out our rabbit hutches for sale section below.

Fixate on these figurados from the Alec Bradley Supervisor Selection Jalapa cigars line. A bit lighter, sweeter, and aromatic than their Habano-rolled cousins, these affordably-priced Torpedoes offer a rich-tasting, medium-full smoke loaded with earthy complex flavors. Order your bundle today.
I have had more expensive Cigar s that didn t have as good of taste. The burn is as good as any cigar I have had. Might not be the tastiest cigar I have had but could say a top 10. Nice and tight smooth and taste01
Overall this was a good cigar as my ratings reflect with the exception of a very uneven burn. Had to make three burn course corrections which at this point I will reserve a little judgement as it could have been this individual stick. Everything else with the cigar went smoothly. A good stick if you can catch them on sale but for almost 5 bucks a pop you can do better or worse .00

Paris Cabaret's are some of the best in the World
So you have just taken your friends to what you thought was a tip top hip hot night club in Paris, and to put it lightly, it stank. You quickly have to save holiday evening in Paris and think of somewhere outrageous but popular, entertaining but not seedy, lively but not violently noisy. What possible option could there be?
How about one of Paris' delectable cabaret clubs? The reply among your respectable group of friends is unanimous, and you wonder why no one thought of it before!
To avoid this imagined (and definitely near disastrous) scenario why not book tickets in advance to a cabaret club in Paris that will have you on the edge of your seat and lamenting never carrying on with those pole dancing lessons. Unrivalled as evening forms of entertainment in the city of lights (and so much more) the cabaret clubs are well-known as being at the top of the worldwide ranking for cabaret spectaculars.
Vegas may hold the crown for the sheer volume of shows on offer but Paris is credited as having invented the art form now so popular across the globe. To pay tribute to the city which has the most talented seamstresses and shoe-heelers as well as causing untold chills to the ostrich population visit one of their most long-running and dazzling venues.
Possibly the biggest hurdle to booking a night in one of these dens of intimate and cheeky fun is which one to choose: the elegant and highly choreographed performance of the Moulin Rouge? The glitzy and energetic display of sparkles and debacles at the Paris Lido? or the sexually fascinating and mind-bogglingly imaginative dancers at the Crazy Horse Paris?
The choice is yours. Pick wisely and enjoy one of the most spectacular nights of your life. And make sure you never end up anywhere second-rate again.
