Location description from manager
The Florida region
What a difference a coast makes! Trees dripping with Spanish Moss lined a slow moving river who's calm was only broken by the chug of a fishermen laden boat returning with the day's catch. A gorgeous old southern style, veranda wrapped house, brought back to life as an elegant restaurant, occupied the spot across the water, while a tiny island, habitated only by monkeys, lay midstream.
The monkeys, relocated to their island habitat from a now defunct Florida animal park, enjoy the gorgeous view everyday. I was only visiting "Florida's Nature Coast" for the weekend. And even though the vista from the villa had an almost meditative effect on me, there was much more to see and do in this fascinating, but little known, corner of Florida that's less than two hours drive from Orlando, Tampa or Daytona.
The Ten Best Lowdown
As with all our "Ten Best" lists, item number one is the author's personal favorite. Aside from that, the order is not an order of preference. If it made it on the list, we thought it was pretty nifty, plain and simple. Be sure to stay tuned at the end of the article for great places to eat and stay while visiting Citrus County.
10 Best Things To Do In Citrus County, Florida
1. Swim with the Manatees
2. Salt or fresh water fishing
3. Visit the Ted Williams Baseball Museum
4. Explore Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park
5. Paddle a River Kayak
6. Enjoy Great Golfing
7. Go Biking
8. Scuba Dive or Snorkel
9. Shop for Antiques and Collectibles
10. Discover History from 500 B.C. to the Present
1. Swim with the Manatees -- Citrus County is known worldwide for its manatee population and the protection of this endangered species is taken very seriously. Each year, many tourists learn about the plight of the gentle giants first hand, by donning a wetsuit and snorkeling the warm springs where the manatees come to escape the cold winter ocean temperatures.
The rules are strict: no chasing, riding or otherwise harassing the manatees. Swimmers must allow the animal to approach them, not the other way around, and never touch with more than one hand at a time. The rules didn't damper the experience in the least. Since the manatees have no natural enemies, they regularly made contact with their awestruck human visitors, and seemed to particularly enjoy being scratched under the flippers. At one point, I found myself surrounded by a swirling, graceful underwater ballet as three baby manatees played a game of tag, seemingly oblivious of my presence.
Swimming with the manatees isn't difficult or too physically exerting. There were young children as well as seniors on our trip. If you want a lifetime of stories to tell your friends, and the videos to prove them, do not miss this rare opportunity to interact with nature. The folks at Bird's Underwater in Crystal River will get you set up. Licensed Coast Guard captains and scuba diving instructors, Bill and Diana Oestreich know the subject of manatees intimately. Tours are regularly conducted in October through March and at other times of the year, depending on whether or not any manatees are in residence. Reservations are a must as the trips regularly sell out. Bill and Diana also video tape each tour. There is no better souvenir of your trip to Florida than Bird's gorgeously produced video of you swimming alongside your new underwater friends. Call Bird's at 352-563-2763, email them email@example.com, or visit their web site at www.xtalwind.net/~bird/
2. Salt or Fresh Water Fishing -- The fishing's fine in Citrus County, whether you prefer thefresh or salt water variety. You can't throw a rock in this area without hitting a fishing charter service. Anglers will be in seventh heaven year round as the catch is bountiful. Springtime brings Black Bass and Trout. Add Tarpon Sheepshead and Grouper to that list come summertime. In the fall its time to fish for Red Fish, Speckled Trout, Bass and Grouper and winter is Snapper season. The Homosassa Fishing Guides Association (352-795-7302) can help you find the right fishing trip.
3. The Ted Williams Baseball Museum - Baseball fans can hrefive some of the game's most spectacular moments, as well as learn everything they could possibly want to know about baseball legend Williams at the museum. An 80 seat sports theater shows continuous videos of Ted Williams and the all-time greats. Before you leave, be sure to pay homage to baseball's best hitters in the Hitters Hall of Fame (new inductions take place each February). Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame 352-527-6566 or FAX 352-527-4163 or visit their web site at www.twmuseum.com.
4. Explore Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park - More than one third of Citrus County is protected as federal, state or county parks and wildlife refuges. Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park is a great way to get a look at a lot of it in a short period of time. Visitors will especially want to visit the manatee rescue refuge to get an up-close view of these amazing creatures. An underwater observatory gives you a fish eye view of the action -- the next best thing to actually swimming with the manatees. In addition to manatees, you'll see a host of other wildlife indigenous to Florida, and one hold over from the days when the park was a privately owned parked -- Lu the hippopotamus is a local favorite who will live out his days in comfort at the state park. Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park - 352-628-5343 or FAX 352-628-4243 or visit their web site at www.citrusdirectory.com/hsswp
5. Paddle a River Kayak -- Susan Davis, owner of the Homosassa Kayak Company, is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable guides I've ever encountered. Her easy going nature puts even novice paddlers at ease. The company's private island on the Homosassa River provides a wonderful place to view wildlife such as dolphin, manatees, eagles, otters, and over 200 species of birds. Offering kayak rentals as well as guided day and overnight trips, Susan's excursions even come with an unexpected bonus-- some of the best home baked cookies you'll ever taste. The guides carry them to fortify hungry paddlers. Homosassa Kayak & Canoe Expedition Company - 352-628-3183 or email email@example.com.
6. Enjoy Great Golfing -- As Citrus County is home to ten challenging public courses and four outstanding private courses, long waits are rare. Both serious and casual golfers will enjoy playing among the hills, valleys, nature trails and wildlife this corner of Florida offers. For some of the best golfing in Citrus County, check out the Plantation Inn and Golf Course (they also serve the finest cuisine in the area) at 352-795-7211.
7. Go Biking! -- Citrus County is a biker's paradise. On my ride along the Withlacoochee State Trail (part of the "Rails to Trails" program which converts defunct railroads into biking and hiking trails), I met cycling enthusiasts from as far away as Minnesota to the north and California to the west. They came because of the diverse two wheeled opportunities in the area. In addition to the Withlacoochee, 46 miles of asphalt which meanders through state and county parks and recreation areas, the Fort Islands Beach Trail will take riders to the County's only salt water beach. There are also some wonderful off road trails which snake through woods and meadows teeming with birds and other wildlife.
Regardless of your biking taste, stop by Suncoast Bicycles for advice, trail maps, guided trips or any other biking needs. If you didn't bring your own, they have a fleet of rentals (all under a year old) to meet your needs, including cruisers, off road, tandem and recumbent bicycles. They have two shops, one in Crystal River and the other in Inverness, directly on the Withlacoochee Trail.
• Suncoast Bicycles Crystal River 352-795-0018
• Suncoast Bicycles Inverness 352-637-5757
• Web site www.suncoastbikes.com
8. Scuba Dive or Snorkel -- Besides the thrilling opportunity of swimming with the manatees, the Nature Coast offers divers a host of other options. Caves, grottoes and the chromatic rainbow springs - named for its assortment of multi-colored fish and plants-- tempt divers. Snorkelers will enjoy exploring the shallows of the Crystal River where, if the season is right, they're apt to see a manatee or two. For your Citrus County diving needs contact:
• Bird's Underwater at 352-563-2763 or visit their web site at www.xtalwind.net/~bird/
• American Pro Diving Center at 352-536-0041 or visit their website at www.gminet.com/ampro
For those who want to learn to dive, The Plantation Inn offers a wonderful 3 day Scuba certification package to get you going. Call them at 800-632-626 or 352-795-4211 for more information.
9. Shop for Antiques and Collectibles -- The county is dotted with interesting little antique and collectibles shops as well as flea markets and even auction houses. You can't drive far without coming across something of interest. A good place to shop around lunch time is Heritage Village, a collection of shops and a wonderful restaurant housed in historic buildings. Antiques and collectibles will be found along with unique gifts, gourmet food and home accessories. Heritage Village can be found on North Citrus Avenue in Crystal River, Florida.
10. Discover History from 500 B.C. to the Present -- History buffs, whether their interest is ancient or more recent times, will find a lot to explore in Citrus County. The 14 acre State Archaeological Site in Crystal River dates back to 500 B.C. More recently, Fort Cooper was a post during the Seminole Indian war in the 1830's. The County is even home to 14 ghost towns, once thriving farms communities, wiped out in the big freeze of 1894/95. By the 20th century most of these towns were gone, but their remains are still explorable today.For more information on Citrus County History, call the Historical Society at 352-637-9927.

This Florida rental home is situated in the Lakeside golf course resort in Inverness, Florida, where the 18-hole golf course is the central area with pro-shop and a clubhouse/restaurant with bar, bistro and fine dining on-site. Inverness is located in Citrus County, which is mainly bordered by rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. Inverness is a medium size town with a historic centre about 5 minutes from the Lakeside resort.
The area is considered countryside with lots of rivers, lakes, trees and other vegetation, hence it is not surprising that Citrus County is also referred to as the Nature Coast. The name Lakeside already indicates that this resort is near to a very large lake and old oak trees and other vegetation are contributing to Lakeside's relaxed atmosphere.

We do recommend that you rent a car as public transport is very limited if any. There is a rental car company in Inverness, but naturally there are numerous rental car companies at the airports. If you fancy a trip to one of Orlando's many theme parks, you can reach them by car in about 70 minutes. Attraction tickets can be arranged through the front desk at Lakeside.

Photos: Toyota Rally Cars
Though the Escort RS Cosworth never enjoyed the motorsport success that Ford had hoped it would, it was still an incredibly competitive car. Between 1993 and 1996, it managed to win eight WRC events outright at the hands of such drivers as Francois Delecour and Carlos Sainz, and finished second in many more.
Another forbidden fruit not available on these shores, the Ford Escort RS Cosworth featured a longitudinally mounted turbocharged 4-cylinder driving all four wheels. With over 220 horsepower in street trim, the car was capable of nearly 150 mph - thus the whale tail!

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:50 pm on March 31, 2010 by Allahpundit
"Credit Obama with pulling off a small political coup – one you could even call triangulation lite.
"The price he paid in political terms was relatively small: Angry blowback from environmental activists who still support his overall climate change policy.
"But the short-term benefits were large: By announcing the policy change, Obama defused a potentially potent Republican issue ahead of the summer gas spike and the fall midterms, while embracing major elements of the GOP's 'all of the above' energy approach to kick-start a stalled climate change bill…
"'It's not a bad thing to show you're willing to do something that gets liberals angry right after you pass the biggest liberal bill in a generation,' said a Senate Democrat staffer, whose boss opposes the policy."
"Many Americans fear that President Obama's new energy proposal is once again 'all talk and no real action,' this time in an effort to shore up fading support for the Democrats' job-killing cap-and-trade (a.k.a. cap-and-tax) proposals. Behind the rhetoric lie new drilling bans and leasing delays; soon to follow are burdensome new environmental regulations. Instead of 'drill, baby, drill,' the more you look into this the more you realize it's 'stall, baby, stall.'…
"As an Alaskan, I'm especially disheartened by the new ban on drilling in parts of the 49th state and the cancellation of lease sales in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. These areas contain rich oil and gas reserves whose development is key to our country's energy security. As I told Secretary Salazar last April, 'Arctic exploration and development is a slow, demanding process. Delays or major restrictions in accessing these resources for environmentally responsible development are not in the national interest or the interests of the State of Alaska.'
"I've got to call it like I see it: The administration's sudden interest in offshore drilling is little more than political posturing designed to gain support for job-killing energy legislation soon to come down the pike. I'm confident that GOP senators will not take the bait."

Superb product. yielding terrific, authentic-tasting sauerbraten, but without all the work. Unfortunately, Knorr apparently does a poor job of convincing retail stores to stock their many mixes. Thankfully, I found IHerb as a source.
Pleasantly surprised
Posted by Reviewer2010763 on May 17, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I bought this because I was craving the delicious sauerbraten my dad used to make (with a very time consuming recipe). I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to make delicious sauerbraten with Knorr recipe mix and it was very easy to make! I would buy this again and reccomend.

The legend behind the Legion
Perhaps you've stopped at the Pequot Lakes American Legion for a burger or bingo night, or for Breakfast with Santa or the Easter Bunny.
Many people might not realize, though, that the Pequot Lakes American Legion Post 49 is named for Ben Krueger, a local man who lost his life in World War I.
Six area men died in service during World War I. John Carlson, Grant Young, Levi Richmond, William Olson, Charlie Ferguson and Ben Krueger served their country and did not make it home. Most died in combat; Richmond died of diphtheria on a ship coming back to the United States.
Krueger was one of eight children to Herman and Louisa Kruger. Legion documents show that Krueger's name had been spelled "Kruger;" however, when the Legion mistakenly added the "e," Krueger's living family members asked that it remain that way.
Krueger was born Dec. 9, 1886. He was called to service in the draft Aug. 3, 1917, and was first transferred to Camp Dodge, Iowa, before being sent to New Jersey, then to France in July 1918.
In a letter from France to his mother, Krueger writes, "I must write a few lines to tell you that I am still well and alive yet. This country is very rainy ... I wish that this war was over with so we could go back to the states."
Krueger asks about the other men from the area who were called to service, and closes the letter with a P.S.: "Please pray for me and I will do the same for you."
He died just 18 days later in machine gun fire, on Oct. 4, 1918. He was 31.
In a letter from one of Krueger's five brothers (he also had two sisters), Ezra Krueger tells Ben about the harvest of potatoes, beans, oats, rye and other plants. He asks Ben if he's in the trenches. At that time, Ezra didn't know that his brother would never read the letter, which was dated Oct. 27, 1918. Ben's family didn't learn of his death until mid-December, by telegram, nearly two months after his death.
Krueger's family was informed of his final resting place by a letter dated March 19, 1923 — three and a half years after he died. He's buried in Muese-Argonne American Cemetery in northeastern France.
Krueger's niece, Betty Hanson, has some information on Krueger. Her information shows that the Legion was named for Krueger because he was the first area man to be called to service.
The first American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919, according to the American Legion website. There are now 14,000 posts worldwide. Minnesota has around 560 posts.
Officials from the American Legion organization said that because so many posts were created around the same time, the Pequot Lakes American Legion Post 49 might not truly be the 49th created; however, it was one of the first in the state.
The Legion is a service organization that gives more than $50,000 a year. It sponsors scholarships, local Boy Scout troops, support to local families, veterans' affairs, high school band, the Pequot swim program and more.
According to Life Magazine, the United States got involved in World War I in 1917, and in four years, 9 million soldiers were killed — that's 5,600 each day.
(Reporter's note: Special thanks goes to Jack Schmidt for making this story possible.)

I think this question implies that one is flying solo but who among us would be solo?
I will be with family and very good friends so more than likely we will be having various dual purpose firearms.
A cpl 22lr game getters and trainers, .308 (7.62x51) long range and medium size game stoppers (2 and 4 legged!), 12G for cqb, CZ 75b and others for personal last resort defense and several mosin nagant m44's for hunting also to conserve on common caliber ammo.
Not to mention ar and ak's for patrol type and secuity duty!
You definitely can't forget a good 22lr handgun to train your flock with in handgun usage also.
All this assumes a true SHTF type total collapse of society which I don't think will happen in the immediate future...then again I did see the Katrina fiasco relatively upclose, live in hurricane alley and lived thru tropical storm Allison in 2001 so don't take my 2cents to HEART!...:headbang:

- For example, if you reserved a car for 15 hours from 1pm Tuesday until 4am Wednesday, and you completed 50 miles of driving, there would be no mileage charge because you were within the 60 miles free included in your booking. If you drove 70 miles, 60 miles would be included free and you would be charged £0.25 for each additional mile – a total of just £2.50.
Reservations exceeding 24 hours:
- 60 miles free included with each 24 hour period; £0.25 for each additional mile in cars and £0.29 in vans.
- For any residual reserved time over each 24 hour period, you will receive 10 miles per hour until you reach the applicable mileage inclusion for that 24 hour period.
- For example if you reserved a car for 30 hours from 9am Tuesday until 3pm Wednesday, and you completed 100 miles of driving, there would be no mileage charge because you received 60 miles free within the first 24 hour period, and a further 60 for the additional 6 hours. For that reservation, 120 free miles will have been included.
You can estimate extra mileage charges for a specific reservation from your confirmation page. Just click the "details" link next to the estimated cost.
Disclaimer: in some cities you can reserve pay-per-mile cars which come with a lower hourly rate, but have no free miles included. A pay-per-mile charge applies from the first mile.
What's the cancellation policy?
If you don't cancel or shorten with the required advance notice, you will be responsible for the full amount of the reservation.
Note that there's a 30-minute window after you book your car where you can make any changes without incurring a charge.
What types of vehicles can I drive?
Please note that models vary by city. View Zipcars in your city.
Do Zipcars have automatic or manual transmissions?
What are "hourly only" Zipcars?
How do I get in the car?
Once you're inside, you can use the key to lock and unlock the doors throughout your reservation.
In some countries, you'll have to scan in with your Zipcard first. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
Where are the car keys?
If you're in a car that has a start button instead of a key, you should use your Zipcard or smartphone to lock and unlock the doors throughout your reservation. To start the car, simply step on the brake, press the start button, and you're good to go.
In some countries, the key is attached to the steering column. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
Can I take the car early?
The doors will only unlock early if the car is available. If you can't get in, that means the car may still be reserved by the previous member. Simply wait until your reservation start time and try again.
What if the car is damaged?
If you find any problems, check the damage log inside the glove compartment. Document any new damage in the log and also give us a call on 0333 240 9000.
You don't want to be held responsible for damage you didn't cause, so please don't forget to check at the start of every reservation.
What if the car is dirty or low on fuel?
If you'd like to take the car for a cleaning, you can pay for it with the fuel card or we'll reimburse your account up to £10. If you prefer, we'll do our best to move you to a different vehicle.
Can I extend my reservation?
Do you have roadside assistance?
Can I take my pet in a Zipcar?
Service animals used by disabled members or passengers with disabilities are an exception. These animals are allowed in the car without a pet carrier. If you need to bring a service animal into a Zipcar, please let us know by calling 0333 240 9000 so that we can clean the car for the next member.
Can I drive into the congestion charging zone?
The London Congestion Charge is operated by Transport for London as a way of reducing traffic congestion in the city during high traffic times. If you need to drive into the "zone" — Zipcar picks up the bill.
Can I smoke in a Zipcar?
Oh, and holding a cigarette outside the car while driving is STILL considered smoking in the car. Just so you know.
Can someone else drive during my reservation?
Non-members are not covered by our insurance. If you allow a non-member to drive during your reservation, you will be responsible for repairs if damage occurs to the car while they're driving. You will lose your membership as well. Which is not good news.
What if I leave (or find) something in my Zipcar?
If it's outside the three-hour window, you should make a reservation for the next available hour to gain access to the Zipcar.
If you find an item in a Zipcar, please place it in the glove compartment or boot and give us a call on 0333 240 9000. Hopefully the member will return for their missing item. You can also post it in the online Lost & Found forum.
Can I use a valet service during my reservation?
What if I get a ticket during my reservation?
Report it. Call us right away on 0333 240 9000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know that you received a ticket. Whether you've paid it, or decided to appeal it, we want a record of what's happening. We want to know the date and time the violation was issued, the licence plate of the vehicle, the type of violation (speeding, parking, etc), the ticket number, how much it is for and which council gave it to you. This way if something goes wrong in the payment process, or you encounter glitches, we'll know you've got it covered and we won't just assume you tossed it in the gutter. Note that certain violations may impact insurance coverage, so it's very important to report any violation to Zipcar.
What if I don't pay it? If you do not pay a ticket, we will be notified and charge you a £15 processing fee. Additionally, you are responsible for the cost of the ticket. If we can, we will redirect the violation to you. If we can't redirect it, we will pay the fine, along with any late fees and bill the total to your account. Other fines or membership suspension can also result, so please pay the ticket when you get it.
Can I dispute it? If you wish to contest a violation and the issuing municipality allows it, be sure to do so promptly! If we receive a notice in the mail, and you have yet to dispute the ticket with the issuing municipality, we will automatically bill your account for the amount of the violation, plus the processing fee.
What if I'm in an accident with my Zipcar?
- Call the emergency services if there are any injuries, damage to either vehicle involved, or if you believe you are not at fault. Having a police report is your best defence during an insurance investigation. If the police will not come to the scene, be sure to ask them why and let us know their reason.
- Then call us on 0333 240 9000 to tell us there's been an accident.
- Collect the following information:
- If someone was injured, note whether the individual was taken from the scene in an ambulance, and find out which hospital they were taken to.
- Record when (date and time) and where the incident happened.
- Get the contact details for all parties involved, including the driver's name (and vehicle owner, if different from the driver), phone number, address, licence number, insurance company and policy number, vehicle registration plate number and vehicle identification number (VIN).
- If there was damage to an object (fence, sign, post, etc), get the contact information of the owner.
- Protect your version of the incident:
- Take pictures of all damage and the scene of the accident. This is very important for any insurance claim that might be filed.
- Get independent witnesses. Your passengers, family and friends do not count as independent witnesses. If any other bystanders witnessed the incident, ask for their contact details and get them to write down what they saw.
- Take note if any party apologises or accepts responsibility for the incident. If possible, get it in writing and notify us of this information. You can even call us on 0333 240 9000 and put the other party on the phone with us.
- Once you're back home safe and sound, we'll need some documentation about the incident. See details.
- If you have completed steps 1-5, then go do something nice for yourself. After all, you did everything you could just the way we needed you to.
Unfortunately your Zipcar membership will be suspended until we obtain all of the details about the accident. For insurance purposes, we have to complete a thorough investigation, but you will be notified as soon as your account is reinstated. This process usually takes about two weeks. You can always email email@example.com if you have any questions or call your local office.
Fueling up
Who pays for fuel?
How do I put fuel in the Zipcar?
Always check your car details or the inside of the fuel cap to ensure you add the correct fuel type — mistakes can be expensive!
In some countries, the fuel card is in a different spot inside the car. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
What if the fuel card isn't accepted?
Returning your Zipcar
Where do I return the Zipcar when I am done?
Need a reminder of the car's home location? Directions are available on your reservation confirmation and on the mobile apps.
What if the Zipcar space is taken or blocked?
If there's another car in the Zipcar spot, please make a note of the make, model, and number plate of the unfortunate offender so that we can have them towed away.
How do I end my reservation?
Return the keys to the glove compartment and lock up with your Zipcard or smartphone.
Do I get credit for returning the car early?
What happens if I return the car late?
If you return your car late, you will be charged late fees starting at £35. Timely returns are really important in the world of car clubs. If someone returns a car late, then the next member can't start their reservation on time. We'll have to find them another car, and sometimes we'll even have to put them in a taxi to get to it. So you can see why we need to have late fees. We're not trying to be mean, we're just trying to make sure that members get their cars when they need them.
Here are a few tips to help avoid late return fees:
- Sign up for Zipcar Text Alerts. We'll send you reminders about your reservation, and also let you know if you can extend your trip.
- When you reserve your car, make sure you allow enough time for your entire trip. Think about travel time (there and back) and the amount of time you'll spend at your destination. Book a little extra time if you're not sure.
- Leave your destination on time. If it took you an hour to get there, most likely it's going to take you an hour to get back. Allow some cushion for traffic delays too.
- If at any time during your reservation you realise that you won't be able to get the Zipcar back on time, you can always try to extend your reservation from your smartphone or call 0333 240 9000. If there's not another reservation immediately after yours, you can extend. If someone is waiting for the car, we will need to make other arrangements for them, so please call us as soon as you can.
What happens if I return the car dirty or with low fuel?
Insurance and damage
What's the insurance policy?
Every member in good standing who follows the rules is covered by our insurance while driving a Zipcar. Here are the highlights:
- Comprehensive collision coverage
- Third party property damage coverage up to £20,000,000 when driving cars, and up to £10,000,000 when driving vans
- Unlimited coverage for third party bodily injury
- Members are responsible for a £750 damage fee (£1,000 for higher risk members) per incident, which can be reduced or eliminated with an optional damage fee waiver.
For the full details on insurance, check out the member contract.
Making a reservation outside of the UK? Note that the insurance details vary depending on where you drive. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
What is a damage fee and when does it apply?
If a sufficiently insured third party is found to be 100% at-fault, then the Zipcar member would not be responsible for the damage fee. Members are also not responsible for normal wear and tear on the vehicle. However, the fee does apply to damage caused by unavoidable events such as floods, hail, wind, trees falling, etc.
Before each reservation, we ask you to check the car inside and out and report any damage. This ensures that you will not be held responsible for damage that may have happened before your reservation.
Will my credit card cover my damage fee?
If you are covered by your credit card, make sure to use it to pay for your reservations. You can update your payment card info here.
If you've been in an accident while driving a Zipcar and you've filed a claim with your credit card company, they will want to see documentation from Zipcar. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to request this documentation.
Can I purchase a damage fee waiver?
A damage fee waiver becomes effective on the purchase date. Waivers are non-refundable.
What happens during an accident investigation?
- Your first responsibility is to fill out an Incident Report form. Please fill out the form as soon as possible. You may also send other supporting documentation (pictures, police reports, etc) to us via whatever method is the easiest (and fastest) for you:
Fax: 0207 681 3233
Zipcar UK
Attention: Accident Reports
Avis Budget House
Park Road
- Sometimes it will take longer than a week to get the Police Report from the station, please send in your version of the accident on our Incident Report Form so we have your statement as early in the process as possible. Then, once the Police Report is available, please forward that to us. Sometimes the police will not make out a report because the accident doesn't meet their criteria. If that's the case, please let us know.
- If you believe anything was unusual or you have some concerns (for example, maybe there was pre-existing damage), let us know immediately.
- The local Zipcar office will inspect the vehicle for damages and bring the vehicle to a repair shop to get pictures and an estimate.
- If an insurance claim is necessary, one will be filed with the appropriate company. If you receive any communications from the other party or their insurer, please notify us as quickly as possible with their information (including company name, adjuster name, claim number, and phone number).
- You will be notified via email when all the steps of the investigation are complete and, based on the estimate of damage we receive from our repair shop, and whether or not a damage fee applies.
Our policy in the case of an accident or vandalism is to suspend your membership until we have been provided with all of the information. When all the documentation and necessary steps outlined above have been completed, the suspension will be lifted. This process should take less than two weeks. Please email email@example.com if you have any questions regarding the status of the investigation.
What happens if there is an insurance claim?
1. Subrogation: If a subrogation claim is initiated, this means that based on your incident report, we believe there is a chance that you are not responsible for the accident and we are therefore pursuing another party for payment for the Zipcar damages and loss of use. If at any time you want more information regarding the claim or if you recall additional important details regarding your accident, please contact us at email@example.com or reply to any of our emails regarding the incident.
Understand that if the insurance company finds you to be responsible in any way for the incident, the claim is denied, or there is no insurance coverage by the other party, the damage fee may apply. However, remember that you have great coverage with Zipcar, so we'll cover the cost of the damages beyond the damage fee. However, rest assured that we will notify you in advance if the case seems to be veering out of your favour. Usually these cases are resolved within a month or two and you will be contacted regarding the results of the case.
2. Liability: A liability claim indicates that you, the driver of the Zipcar, are at least partially responsible for the accident. If our insurers pay the other party for their property damage or medical bills, you will be responsible for the damage fee based on the total cost of the accident.
For more details on your liability coverage with Zipcar, please check here.
If you are responsible for an accident but you believe there was little to no damage to the other party's vehicle, please contact us immediately. We will need pictures of the other party's vehicle, a police report, and/or a witness' statement to verify the damage. Remember, you are our eyes at the scene of an accident and we depend on you for evidence.
These claims can take six months or longer to close, but we will let you know if anything is paid out to the other party. Our insurer will use the Incident Report that you submit to us as your final and complete statement of the incident; they will only contact you if they see a discrepancy or have questions regarding your statement. However, you are more than welcome to follow along with the claim and speak to your adjuster directly. Please email email@example.com for the contact information for your claim.
What happens if I don't agree with the insurance company's decision regarding fault?
What is the higher risk category?
- you're aged 19-24
- you have four or more points on your licence
- you've had an accident in the last three years
Higher risk members have a damage excess of £1,000, and the price for an optional damage fee waiver is higher.
All members meeting the higher risk criteria start in the higher+ category for their first 15 trips. Drivers in the higher+ group pay a driving surcharge of £1.50/hr or £18/day. These members are also restricted from reserving certain premium models. After completing 15 damage-free reservations, the member is no longer in the higher+ category and the surcharge no longer applies.
If you're aged 19-24, we'll automatically take you out of the higher risk category when you turn 25, as long as you don't meet any of the other criteria. If you think you're in the wrong category, please give us a call on 0333 240 9000.
Membership and billing
When will I be charged for my membership fee?
If your driving plan has a monthly membership fee, we automatically charge your account each month on the anniversary date of your membership. (If you change your driving plan after you join, that date will become your new renewal date.)
When will I be charged for reservations?
How can I get reimbursed for fuel or other expenses?
Email, fax or mail an itemized receipt within 30 days of purchase to the following, and include your name, Zipcard number, item purchased, date and time of purchase and amount.
Email: email@example.com
Fax: 0207 681 3233
Snail Mail:
Zipcar UK
Zipcar Member Services - Reimbursement
Avis Budget House
Park Road
Once we get your receipt, we will reimburse your account within seven business days.
What if I lose my Zipcard?
How does driving credit work?
On membership plans which include driving credit each month, the driving credit is issued on a monthly basis on your billing date and is valid for 30 days. Driving credit cannot be accumulated.
To check when your driving credit expires, go to your online statement and click on the "My Credits" link.
What Zipcar fees do I need to know about?
No one likes to talk about fees and fines, but they're a "must" to keep this whole car sharing thing running smoothly. We hope you never have to fork over cash for these things...
- Late Return Fee: £35 per hour (up to a maximum of £105), plus the vehicle usage charges (read more about late returns).
- Low Fuel Fee: £35 if you return a vehicle with less than 1/4 tank of fuel.

- Personal Reservation Assistance: £2.95 per call to have one of the team make a reservation for you.
- Tickets/Violation Processing Fee: You are also responsible for paying any parking tickets and moving violations incurred during your reservation. If we receive a notice and process a violation, you will be charged a £15 processing fee.
- Damage Fee: Up to £750 to cover the costs related to an accident. Members aged 21+ may qualify to purchase a waiver to reduce or eliminate your damage fee.
- Other Violations: £35 per violation, plus costs incurred by Zipcar anytime a visit to the vehicle is required (including visits due to smoking or pets in the vehicle).

[Article]-Interview: Joe McCray of LearnSecurityOnline
Permanent link: [Article]-Interview: Joe McCray of LearnSecurityOnline
Review by Jason Haddix
Have you ever seen Man on Fire? If you haven't and you like watching kick-ass, kick-you-in-the-teeth, relentless, Denzel-Washington-type of-action-flicks… you might want to Netflix that one. Our interview this week is kind of like Denzel in Man on Fire but with less guns and more SQLi strings meticulously crafted to pwn your databases.
Enter Joe (j0e) McCray of LearnSecurityOnline… Joe is a long standing friend of both Security Aegis and The Ethical Hacker Network, and, after wanting to keep the limelight off of himself and his teaching projects, we have finally pestered him enough to agree to sit back and answer a few of our questions about life, liberty, and the pursuit of root.
The great thing about Joe is that he will never make you feel like an idiot, even while he's managing to teach you cutting-edge stuff. He keeps you engaged in a half comedy, half lecture style teaching format. I have no reason to think that his energy and effectiveness won't continue to shine through in his upcoming new advanced course, Pentesting High Security Environments. Make sure to check out his video at the end of the interview.
Thanks to you both,

To This Day ... for the bullied and beautiful
By turn hilarious and haunting, poet Shane Koyczan puts his finger on the pulse of what it's like to be young and … different. "To This Day," his spoken-word poem about bullying, captivated millions as a viral video (created, crowd-source style, by 80 animators). Here, he gives a glorious, live reprise with backstory and violin accompaniment by Hannah Epperson.

Thierry Henry dedicated his match-winning strike against Leeds to two of the most "special people" he has met during his time with the Club.
The French striker made a dream return to Arsenal colours on Monday night when he netted the only goal of the game to send his side through to the FA Cup Fourth Round.
Afterwards Henry paid tribute to the mother of equipment manager Paul Johnson and to Lynn Ann MacLennan - who looked after the striker's executive box at Emirates Stadium - both of whom passed away recently.
"It was all crazy when I scored. But enough of talking about myself, it's kind of weird," Henry told Arsenal Player.
"Also, I wanted to say something - Paul Johnson lost his Mum [Jean Scorey] recently. She was a huge Arsenal fan and was upset when we were losing and the happiest woman when we were winning.
"I just wanted to dedicate the game to her and Paul Johnson because the guy has been amazing. He came into training even though his Mum passed away and he did it for the love of the Club. She also worked for the Club and loved the Club.
"And also a woman who used to look after me in my box, Lynn Ann – I dedicate the game to them because sometimes you give it back to people behind doors who you don't see. The game goes to them."

Hello everybody. I am a first time poster, and first time beekeeper. A few weeks ago, I installed my 2nd super (hope I got the name right) because the outer 2 frames in the first one were stating to become occupied.
Last night, I checked the frames in the new level, and almost all are drawn out and have honey in them. Even the outer 2 are being drawn out.
Only a few of the combs are capped, and it seems to me the upper frames are full of honey, not brood, which strikes me as odd for some reason (the lower frames are kind of mixed).
Now, I started with a nuc in early June, and I was sort of expecting I might not see any honey for myself this year.
It may sound stupid, but does this sound alright? Did I do something dumb? Although I seem to have plenty of bees, is the lack of brood in the upper frames a sign of a missing queen?
Assuming I'm just lucky (or skilled ), what do I do now? Should I wait for the frames to be capped before adding a queen excluder and a 3rd super?
Just in case it makes a difference, I have about 110 acres, including about 30 with clover/alfalfa hay which was just cut. I have been feeding 5 pounds sugar/5 gallons water since I installed my bees.

ELON, N.C. — It may not be the big show but McNeese State is making the most of its second chance.
The Cowgirls won the second national tournament game in program history Saturday, toppling Elon University 66-58 in the second round of the Women's Basketball Invitational.
With the win the Cowgirls could get a chance to play a little closer to home in the semifinal round.
McNeese will meet the winner of today's Lamar-South Dakota showdown. The eighth-seeded Cowgirls (20-14) will be on the road no matter what.
"We are rooting for Lamar," said McNeese head coach Brooks Donald Williams. "It would be great for the conference and great for our fans who could drive over and see us play."
It would also beat spending part of spring break in South Dakota.
Senior guard Ashlyn Baggett reached two personal milestones. She scored her 2,000th career point and made her 300th 3-pointer.
"It was great for Ashlyn and for the team," said Donald Williams. "We have really embraced this opportunity to be playing. It may not be the NCAA tournament but we are one of the few teams still playing basketball at this time of the year and we are proud of that."
The Cowgirls earned trips to the NCAA the last two seasons by winning the Southland Conference tournament. This year they lost in the semis, but instead of getting down they have rallied to win their last two games.
"You are not sure how kids will react but our girls have played tough in these two games," said Donald Williams. "They want to keep playing as long as they can."
Baggett finished with 14 points while her twin Caitlyn led all scorers with 23 on 6 of 12 shooting from the field that included a 4-for-6 effort from behind the arc. Younger sister Allison, a freshman, came off the bench to score 10.
"I think we are still getting better as a team, which means the girls are still working hard," Donald Williams said. "They have not quit on the season."
A Caitlyn Baggett trey with just over 9 minutes remaining broke a 44-44 tie and gave the Cowgirls the lead for good. Elon (19-14) cut the lead 56-55 with 4:52 remaining, but McNeese went on a 7-0 run to put the game away.
The Cowgirls got strong inside play from junior NeTanya Jones, who finished with a career high 10 rebounds with six defensive rebounds and four offensive.
"This is exciting for us," Donald Williams said. "We are just trying to win a championship. We have been given a chance to play more basketball and that is what we want to do.
"We want to play until we have no more games left."
They are hoping one of those games is played just an hour away from home.
McNeese and Lamar split a pair of close games during the regular season with each winning on the other's home floor.
Time and date of the semifinals have yet to be determined.

[quote user="AsianGiant"]I guess you guys all agree on expanding this project.....
What I'd like to know is what is anyone doing to get these boards under control. We have Eagles fans laughing at us, Cowboys fans doing the same. Giants fans are falling apart (which is no surprise), but I mean I'm starting to hate this place. No I hate this place, b/c the mods do nothing.

I'm sorry they're "testing".

Clear up some of these threads. It's terrible!


text: Sometimes I wonder if the cowboys have a plan. When Garret was first named head coach of the cowboys, it seemed like he was working on a 3 year rebuilding plan. He cut all of the dead weight and was not in a hurry to sign over priced free agent as quick fixes. It seemed like he was going to be patient and let the opportunity dictate what he was going to do in free agency. I didn't like they fact that we would be wasting some of the older guys (Romo, Witten, Ware, Ratliff) prime years but it was a purge that had to be done to restore the culture and mentality of a winning football organization. All in all, year one went pretty well. We started the process of getting rid of allot of the over priced players and players that did not buy into Garrets system. At the same time we were able to integrate young talent into the fold (Dez, Murray, Lee, Smith,) while developing other young players (Church, Carter, Harris). We did all of this while still being competitive. Year 2 is where everything went downhill. It almost seems like that because of the success in year 1, we thought we were further ahead in 3 year plan and skipped year 2. If we were still in year 2 then I don't think we would of brought in some of the free agents that we did. It almost seemed like we were looking for quick fixes to the "few areas" that we were lacking talent. If we were honest with ourselves and stuck to the 3 year plan then we would of continued to be patient in free agency and wouldn't have overpaid for the questionable talent that we acquired through free agency. It doesn't make scene to rid yourself of over priced players one year just to turn around and over pay for players the next year. Moving up in the draft was also a bad move. We should of stuck to the original 3 year plan and looked to the draft to address the many needs that this team still had. If we stayed pat or traded down we could have acquired more young talent. We could have found players that perform as good as or better than the 2 interior linemen we signed in the off season in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. these linemen would also be part of our future core instead of quick fixes. because of the short cut that we tried to take this past off season, it seems that we might be heading right back to year 1 again soon.

the stoner mag is a c-products ASC--a pretty good mag for todays situation--
Palmetto state has D&H $16.99 and Midway has AR Stoner $13.99. not too bad. Not good, but not too bad.
Clan MacPherson
the stoner mag is a c-products ASC--a pretty good mag for todays situation--
I also hear good things about D&H. I went ahead and ordered 2 of them.
Clan MacPherson
Told you guys.. Stuff is coming back.. Hang in their..
The panic buyers are running out of money.. Their wives are smacking them over the head when they come home with that $3,000 AR and $1,000 case of ammo..
Vendors want to sell stock as much as we want to buy, in a normal fashion.
They do not sell, they go out of business.
Most all the forums members should have enough stuff to hold them for awhile.
We did not panic buy, the Nappy voters did. Haaaa haaaa suckers.
ARs and AKs will stay high $$$$.. Ammo, powder, components will start coming back to somewhat normal prices.. Bet yah a case of beer..
Steady boys steady, hold the line.. Wait till the suckers are done..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
it is good to see a few come back in stock at nearly retail price.
the D&H mags are the standard of the industry,
D&H has supplied mags to the armed forces for a long long time. D&H is who makes the oem mags for colt and others.
I bought components on Monday for normal prices, issue was they would only sell 500 bullets for each caliber. Better than nothing.
Brownells has Mako steel mags $15.50 if you get the discount.
Clan MacPherson
holder did say today on the TV that their going to push for a hi-cap mag ban and universal background checks as the bare minimum--
if your short of mags you should pick up a few while their still sort of reasonable$.
i got a feeling ammo is going to be the toughie.
mags are sort of a PITA to buy lately --though there are a few good ones getting back in stock.
if mags get banned expect another panic run on them. you just think prices are high now--if they become unobtainable/black market then how much $$$$ then???
the mexicans may start selling mags and ammo at "contraband" prices-- $100 for one box of ammo, $100 a mag and a basic AK or AR-15 from across the boarder? yea sounds like CTD today don't it?--LOL!--thousands i would guess-- you know our government anything to give the drug cartels more $$$$$!!
personally i got a feeling that Obongo and holder are going to get the mag and background check things passed. by either cheat or beat--
the ammo situation is the most worrying of all.
better get ready to dig in boys-- it is going to be a rough few years.
D&H mags alread out of stock at Palmetto state

Police ID body in motel as wife of suspect in deadly Texas rampage
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - Police said the woman found dead in a Jacksonville motel room was the wife of the suspected gunman in a deadly shooting rampage in Texas.
According to investigators, 21-year-old Rubi Estefania Smith, of Bakersfield, Calif., was found with a knife wound Sunday afternoon. Her body was at the Sunset Inn at 497 Western Blvd. in Jacksonville.
Police said it appears her husband, 23-year-old LCpl. Esteban J. Smith, a Camp Lejeune Marine, was responsible for her death.
Smith was also allegedly responsible for a deadly shooting spree 1,500 miles away. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Smith fired randomly at several vehicles as he drove in and around Concho County early Sunday morning.
One woman was killed in the rampage: she has been identified as 41-year-old Alicia Torres. Investigators said they found her shot to death inside her car in Eola.
Her cousin, Ernest Torres, was next door when it happened.
"Things like this don't happen in Eola. I mean, it's rare for anything like this to happen. It's really random," said Ernest. "She was a nice person who didn't have any enemies. Why someone would shoot her, we don't know."
In addition, Smith is accused of shooting and injuring five people in Texas, including Concho County Sheriff Richard Doane, investigators said. The sheriff and another victim remained hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
The rampage ended when Smith was killed Sunday in a shootout with Texas authorities, investigators said. An assault rifle, a handgun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition were recovered. Investigators did not explain a motive.
Smith was a rifleman with the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, according to base officials.
Smith first deployed to Afghanistan from August 2010 to May 2011, according to Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Maureen T. Krebs. He returned to Afghanistan with his unit in April 2012 and remained there until November, Krebs said.
In addition to Jacksonville Police, the Texas Rangers, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the The Naval Criminal Investigative Service are also looking into the case.

My first time attempt at making a somewhat traditional Bowie knife, or any knife for that matter.
Been watching how to vids on Youtube and decided to give it a shot.
I had a big sheet of 440 SS, brass and some black walnut, so it was a no $ project.
I cut out the blade blank with a mini grinder.
Used a bench grinder and belt sander to get the basic shape, hand filed the blade grind.
Heat treat was done with charcoal and quenched in a bucket of old hydraulic fluid.
Sharpening was done on a wet stone, nice and sharp edge, hope it holds up.
Started an old timey looking sheath, still need to stitch it up.
