Reviews of this property
Simply perfect! When we arrived at Catering not we could not believe it !! Besides being in a wonderful setting surrounded by amazing meadows he breathed peace and tranquility; the apartment was 100% rustic, not lacking anything. It was comfortable, practical and very comfortable. Furniture, kitchen cabinets, bathroom were in good condition and be there has been an incredible experience. If we return to Tuscany we will try to return to this wonderful place. Besides the people who looked after us they were very nice and the service was so good. Thanks Wimdu!

The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

The Yakult Swallows have finally announced the acquisition of outfielder Lastings Milledge. Milledge gets a salary of JPY 45m (about $570k at todays rate) plus performance bonuses, and a club option for a second year. Hell wear number 85 for the Birds.
Or for those of you who care more about the original source:
Clearly Lastings wore out his welcome wherever he went, but I'm not sure he should have been blackballed from American ball the way that he was.
He was essentially a replacement-level outfielder, and could have easily made a career as depth or as a fourth outfielder.
Instead, he'll spend his prime in Japan. I won't be surprised if he has some monster seasons (similar to Matt Murton, whose exile was, and still is, preposterous).

text: MTA members step up for tornado recovery efforts Eric Warren considers himself lucky that the June 1 western Massachusetts tornadoes damaged only his car, and not his home or workplace. So the Springfield Technical Community College staff member did what comes naturally to a librarian. He created an online Tornado Relief Guide that is providing much needed news and information for students, staff and the general public. Warren's guide can be found at http://libguides.stcc.edu/tornadorelief and includes links to local relief agencies, consumer protection advice and fundraising events. There is also a section devoted to Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and other social media projects set up for storm recovery. Warren is one of scores of MTA members who are helping in their communities by grabbing saws and rakes, or visiting students at shelters or raising funds to aid those who lost their homes and belongings in the storms. Many members were themselves storm victims. "As we became aware of the destruction caused by the tornadoes, we were not at all surprised to hear that MTA members were taking the lead in their communities," said MTA President Paul Toner. "This is such a large part of what we as educators and public employees do everyday – reaching out to those who need help and hope and working to make our communities stronger, even when disaster strikes." The Board of Directors of the MTA's charity, The Massachusetts Child, is taking steps to provide relief to the students and MTA members in the communities hit by the tornadoes. The Mass Child board voted on June 15 to make additional funds available to MTA locals in school districts where there was significant damage as a result of the June 1 storms, according to President Christine Mulroney "Outreach is already underway," Mulroney said. "We need to iron out the details and determine how to put our resources to the best use for the students and staff in these districts."

Why is Linking Important in SEO ☆
When you create content for your site, your main goal is to have others read it and share it. The call to action is either to purchase your product, talk about your topic, or to have yourself considered an expert in a certain industry. The best type of linking is when it comes to you organically. People read your content, and willingly link to your site without your asking. This means they understand and believe in your content. That also means that visitors to that foreign blog will find your link and come to your site to know more about you. If you're not getting enough organic links, you'll find yourself talking to other sites to link your content and this is important too. There are many ways to get your links to other site. The question is however why is it important?
Linking is important because it:
– Helps you gain a larger audience. When you get others to link your content to their sites, you are immediately given a chance to tap into a different audience. If you write with authority and people agree with your thoughts, they're likely to find your site and subscribe to it. Thus, you build a wider audience through links.
– If you're in a particular industry, for example food industry, you can create a brand around your products. When others link to you, search engines will take notice that your content is authentic and useful. The more other people in the same industry link your content to theirs, the higher your credibility. You build a brand of honest and useful information.
– More links means more people coming to your site, and your reputation rises. This translates into sales if you're doing it for money. The more generous you are with information, the more trustworthy people view you. They are able to seek you out to learn more from you, and you're able to market any product you want to sell more easily.
– Of course, you have to return the generosity of others. You too should link other people's content on your site. The higher your rank, the more boosts you'll give to a newer site. If you're not generous, you'll be unable to build long lasting relationships with other site owners. In the long run, you might end up losing the goodwill you get from the people who've linked your content. So, link other people too, on your blog.
A great place to fulfill all your seo needs is to check out the business Minneapolis seo services they experienced in ranking website like your to the top of the search engines.
Be prudent when you're seeking to link or for others to link your content. You want to remain an authority in your industry. Share articles that match yours, and that relate to your industry. Write good content and don't mislead your audience in any way.

text: First choice, Dumars himself. Stop making excuses for what goes wrong, take all the responsibility. If Curry, who could not even begin to diagram a play could be our coach, why not Dumars. Dumars won as a player, and has managed to put a championship team together as a GM. Signs of a very capable person. Next choice, Laimbeer. Again, a winner as a player, and a winner as a coach for the Shock. Again, signs of someone with their act together. We know he can diagram plays too. Next choice, Collins, a retread. Problems with Collins - thinks he knows more than he does, and therefore prone to get a stubborn streak on a point. I do not like quirks like that in a coach. However, if age perhaps has taught him some humbleness, he just might be a decent coach for us now. Van Gundy's forget it. Especially Jeff. Just clueless people.

CDC Requirement:
Prior to disseminating new HIV prevention messages through pictorials, audiovisuals, questionnaires, survey instruments, marketing advertising, educational sessions, and brochures, community-based organizations, local health departments, or state agencies that receive Centers for Disease Control and Prevention HIV prevention funding and participate in health-related promotions must determine whether those materials have already been formally approved by the Oregon Program Review Panel (OPRP).
Step 1: Check the OPRP Approved Materials List (Local Health Departments and Community-Based Programs complete this step)
Please check the current list of HIV prevention materials that have been reviewed and approved for dissemination.
If the materials have been OPRP approved statewide and appear on the "Approved List," agencies do not have to participate in the OPRP/PRP process and are free to disseminate the materials within their service area.
If materials have not been reviewed by OPRP, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Submit Materials to the OPRP to review new HIV Prevention Education Materials.
Prior to submitting materials to the OPRP for review, you must download and review the OPRP Guidelines (pdf), the OPRP Submittal Form Instruction Page (pdf), and the OPRP Submittal Form (pdf).
After reading the information from those forms, please complete all of the requested information on the OPRP Submittal Form and send the completed form, along with the materials that need to be reviewed to Warren Scott 800 NE Oregon Street, Suite 1105 Portland, OR 97232-2162 or via e-mail at email@example.com.
Agencies that are submitting materials for review are required to complete all information requested on the OPRP Submittal Form and include a copy of the materials that are to be reviewed.
NOTE: Agencies submitting HIV prevention curriculum must highlight only the components of the curriculum (those that contain prevention/education messages) that are to be reviewed by the OPRP. For convenience and efficiency, agencies are asked to submit these requests electronically whenever possible.
Step 3: Oregon Program Review Panel Approval/Disapproval Process
Upon receipt of the completed submittal form and copies of the materials to be reviewed, OHA staff will send materials to the OPRP for review.
Please refer to the OPRP Reviewer's Form for a listing of the information considered in the OPRP review process.
If DISAPPROVED, agencies will receive a document that outlines why the materials were not accepted for dissemination in Oregon. Agencies will be asked to address these issues if they wish to adapt materials for an additional review.
If APPROVED, agencies may use the materials immediately upon notification by Oregon Health Authority HIV Prevention staff.
Step 4: Approved materials added to the Approved List
Upon approval, the submission will be added to the "Approved List" of OPRP-approved materials that are available to use in Oregon.
Please refer to the Local Program Review Panel (LPRP) Protocol for instructions on how to submit materials through your LPRP.

If you are familiar with the village and town of New Paltz, then cleary you have enjoyed yourself in this area before, or know someone who has. Enough interest has been circulated regarding this small town that it has become inundated with wealthy yuppies from the city, college drop outs/graduates, SUV driving tourists with New Jersey license plates who clog up the main road, tattoo-faced-train-hopping hobos, binge-drinkers, ugly-potheads, more stores to buy crap than any other products and tons of places to eat but no where you want to go. This once untainted, semi-uninhabited, esoteric, mountain town, home to farmers, earth loving hippies, talented artists and other smart people, is on it's way to becoming the next "big" tourist trap without an ocean. Much like Woodstock (just a town and not home to the famous concert), New Paltz is coining in on hearsay and taking a turn towards the tourist money making scene.

Located in the Hudson Valley of New York. Colorful, mountainous utopia of hippies, D1 ruggers, and an exceptionally good-looking university soccer team. The town that inspired Bob Dylan to pen "All Along the Watchtower" and Paul Simon's " Killer goes to College". People play bongos at 4 am and the geese have phallus-shaped heads. There are an array of quaint boutiques and ethnic eateries in the downtown area.
New Paltz is the Poor Man's Greenwich Village.

A town in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York full of old Grateful Dead loving burn-outs. Homeless people sit on the stairs in front of the stores and play bongos and talk to the drunk college kids who walk by. Strangely full of gay people and lesbians with hairy armpits. Marijuana is in large abundence. Theres about 500 pizza places on Main Street. The mountains are pretty too.
by S Dawg March 09, 2006
A small community of burn-outs, Woodstock left-overs, NYC minority imports, wannabe artists, and openly flaming gays that if you were raised here and did not leave after high school graduation you're a complete loser.
You dropped out of UCCC, got into drugs, work at a deli, date other losers who couldn't seem to get out of town, and live with your parents still? Ohhhhh you must have been raised in New Paltz!

But now the Indians were rushing out and shooting back, making show enough to check the attack. The whites dismounted. Every fourth man took the reins of three other horses and led them along with his own into the trees near the river. The other soldiers deployed in a skirmish line of perhaps 100 men. It was all happening very quickly.
As the Indians came out to meet the skirmish line, straight ahead, the river was to their left, obscured by thick timber and undergrowth. To the right was open prairie rising away to the west, and beyond the end of the line, a force of mounted Indians rapidly accumulated. These warriors were swinging wide, swooping around the end of the line. Some of the Indians, He Dog and Brave Heart among them, rode out still farther, circling a small hill behind the soldiers.
By then the soldiers had begun to bend back around to face the Indians behind them. In effect the line had halted; firing was heavy and rapid, but the Indians racing their ponies were hard to hit. Ever-growing numbers of men were rushing out to meet the soldiers while women and children fled. No more than 15 or 20 minutes into the fight the Indians were gaining control of the field; the soldiers were pulling back into the trees that lined the river.
The pattern of the Battle of the Little Bighorn was already established—moments of intense fighting, rapid movement, close engagement with men falling dead or wounded, followed by sudden relative quiet as the two sides organized, took stock and prepared for the next clash. As the soldiers disappeared into the trees, Indians by ones and twos cautiously went in after them while others gathered nearby. Shooting fell away but never halted.
Two large movements were unfolding simultaneously—most of the women and children were moving north down the river, leaving the Hunkpapa camp behind, while a growing stream of men passed them on the way to the fighting—"where the excitement was going on," said Eagle Elk, a friend of Red Feather, Crazy Horse's brother-in-law. Crazy Horse himself, already renowned among the Oglala for his battle prowess, was approaching the scene of the fighting at about the same time.
Crazy Horse had been swimming in the river with his friend Yellow Nose when they heard shots. Moments later, horseless, he met Red Feather bridling his pony. "Take any horse," said Red Feather as he prepared to dash off, but Crazy Horse waited for his own mount. Red Feather didn't see him again until 10 or 15 minutes later, when the Indians had gathered in force near the woods where the soldiers had taken refuge.
It was probably during those minutes that Crazy Horse had prepared himself for war. In the emergency of the moment many men grabbed their weapons and ran toward the shooting, but not all. War was too dangerous to treat casually; a man wanted to be properly dressed and painted before charging the enemy. Without his medicine and time for a prayer or song, he would be weak. A 17-year-old Oglala named Standing Bear reported that after the first warnings Crazy Horse had called on a wicasa wakan (medicine man) to invoke the spirits and then took so much time over his preparations "that many of his warriors became impatient."
Ten young men who had sworn to follow Crazy Horse "anywhere in battle" were standing nearby. He dusted himself and his companions with a fistful of dry earth gathered up from a hill left by a mole or gopher, a young Oglala named Spider would recall. Into his hair Crazy Horse wove some long stems of grass, according to Spider. Then he opened the medicine bag he carried about his neck, took from it a pinch of stuff "and burned it as a sacrifice upon a fire of buffalo chips which another warrior had prepared." The wisp of smoke, he believed, carried his prayer to the heavens. (Others reported that Crazy Horse painted his face with hail spots and dusted his horse with the dry earth.) Now, according to Spider and Standing Bear, he was ready to fight.
By the time Crazy Horse caught up with his cousin Kicking Bear and Red Feather, it was hard to see the soldiers in the woods, but there was a lot of shooting; bullets clattered through tree limbs and sent leaves fluttering to the ground. Several Indians had already been killed, and others were wounded. There was shouting and singing; some women who had stayed behind were calling out the high-pitched, ululating cry called the tremolo. Iron Hawk, a leading man of Crazy Horse's band of Oglala, said his aunt was urging on the arriving warriors with a song:
Brothers-in-law, now your friends have come.
Take courage.
Would you see me taken captive?

To glans, to rub your glans against an object in the purpose of tainting it. Some teach that in a proper glansing the foreskin is pulled back over the object, obviously this creates several problems. For instance circumcised males cannot preform this act, and no matter how stretchy your foreskin is you ain't never getting it to stretch around a car.

Why can't the American public see what's coming?
Original post made by The Cohen Brother, Old Palo Alto, on Jan 27, 2007
This is all to the good. However, it misses the real issue--the Bush Regime's looming attack on Iran.
Rather than winding down one war, Bush is starting another. The entire world knows this and is discussing Bush's planned attack on Iran in many forums. It is only Americans who haven't caught on. A few senators have said that Bush must not attack Iran without the approval of Congress, and postings on the Internet demonstrate world wide awareness that Iran is in the Bush Regime's cross hairs. But Congress and the Media--and the demonstration in Washington--are focused on Iraq.
What can be done to bring American awareness up to the standard of the rest of the world?
In Davos, Switzerland, the meeting of the World Economic Forum, a conference where economic globalism issues are discussed, opened January 24 with a discussion of Bush's planned attack on Iran.
Writing for Global Research (January 24), General Leonid Ivashov, vice president of the Academy on Geopolitical Affairs and former Joint Chief of Staff of the Russian Armies, forecast an American nuclear attack on Iran by the end of April. General Ivashov presented the neoconservative reasoning that is the basis for the attack and concluded that the world's protests cannot stop the US attack on Iran.
There will be shock and indignation, General Ivashov concludes, but the US will get away with it. He writes:
"Within weeks from now, we will see the informational warfare machine start working. The public opinion is already under pressure. There will be a growing anti-Iranian militaristic hysteria, new information leaks, disinformation, etc. . . . The probability of a US aggression against Iran is extremely high. It does remain unclear, though, whether the US Congress is going to authorize the war. It may take a provocation to eliminate this obstacle (an attack on Israel or the US targets including military bases). The scale of the provocation may be comparable to the 9-11 attack in NY. Then the Congress will certainly say "Yes" to the US President."
The Bush Regime has made it clear that it is convinced that Bush already has the authority to attack Iran. The Regime argues that the authority is part of Bush's commander-in-chief powers. Congress has authorized the war in Iraq, and Bush's recent public statements have shifted the responsibility for the Iraqi insurgency from al-Qaeda to Iran. Iran, Bush has declared, is killing US troops in Iraq. Thus, Iran is covered under the authorization for the war in Iraq.
Both Bush and Cheney have made it clear in public statements that they will ignore any congressional opposition to their war plans.
For example, CBS News reported (Jan. 25) that Cheney said that a congressional resolution against escalating the war in Iraq "won't stop us." According to the Associated Press and Yahoo News, Bush dismissed congressional disapproval with his statement, "I'm the decision-maker."
Everything is in place for an attack on Iran. Two aircraft carrier attack forces are deployed to the Persian Gulf, US attack aircraft have been moved to Turkey and other countries on Iran's borders, Patriot anti-missile defense systems are being moved to the Middle East to protect oil facilities and US bases from retaliation from Iranian missiles, and growing reams of disinformation alleging Iran's responsibility for the insurgency in Iraq are being fed to the gullible US Media.
General Ivashof and everyone in the Middle East and at the Davos globalization conference in Europe understands the Bush Regime's agenda.
Why cannot Americans understand?
Why hasn't Congress told Bush and Cheney that they will both be instantly impeached if they initiate a wider war?

Cohen Brother,
Good post.
Bush and his neo-con gang have decided that Israel must survive. This drives them to confront Iran, hidden inside the context of Iraq. This moralistic stance is our future doom. BTW, a likely scenario will be that Israel will drop the bomb, in order to give the U.S. a bit of cover.
There have been so many moralistic stands by the U.S., once we decided to go international (T. Roosevelt). We have paid an enormous price for this idealism. The only major war we needed to fight, since the Civil War, was against Japan, starting Dec. 7, 1941.
Why did the U.S. ever get behind Israel? It has cost us an immense amount of unnecessary American lives. And now, we are about to see many more American lives lost.
I applaud your post. It is starting to get at the real issue.

Walter...Many innocents have been victims. Why should we sacrfice our own to save them? If we buy into saving Europe and Israel and Kosovo and Darfur and Somalia and S. Africa, etc., then we become obligated to save the innocents in Iraq. No way!
Our only hope is isolationism.

You, like so many others, are making a moral argument. When will we Americans finally decide to make amoral decisions - like the Europeans and Asians?

Agreed. I have often used the analogy of your neighbor has an arsenal, has already killed one of his family members, beats the rest, has invaded 2 other neighbors and been beat back into his home, is threatening to annihilate the house on the other side of him and take over the rest of the neighborhood, but is telling you to stay out of it or he will blow your house up too. A couple of his sons-in-laws have escaped and told the whole city where he is hiding his biggest bomb-making machine..they go back and he kills them. One of his daughters interviews with Barbara Walters and brag about the great chemical weapons program that household is building.
All the other neighborhoods get very nervous, and tell him to "stop, publically destroy it all, or else" 17 times, and he just laughs...He kills a few more of his family, just second-cousins, and praises the folks who blow up another house on the next street.
YOU decide to stop it under the premise that at the very least he has still failed to show what he did with his arsenal, as demanded 17 times. You think everyone is going to go along with this, and then learn that there is too much money to be made off of him to get the more corrupt people to agree.A few of the most powerful neighbors are making a lot of money off of this guy, so they don't really want to stop him, they are just giving lip service to keep you happy.
This takes 6 months for you to give up on those neighbors, who have been desperately trying to stop you, but the rest join you, and off you go.
You free his family, kill him ..but can't find the arsenal all the neighborhoods had seen, and told him to publically destroy. What a surprise! 6 months of warning and you can't find anything.
This "proves" that he hadn't had any. HA!
No matter, at least you and your neighbors are no longer in danger from him, and his family is free to try to re-build their lives, free from torture and murder from an iron-fist. They have to fight, still, a couple cousins who are still trying to take back the control of their house, but they are beating them back, with the help of you, and getting stronger by the day. Won't need you soon.
Your newly free neighbors go out into the city and start buying stuff. One of the very many stores they freely choose is yours.
This "proves" it was all about money. HA! You spent hundreds of thousands to free them and improve your safety, and they buy some bread in your store. Good investment. Obviously you helped because of money.
The family that was saved is watching to see who is against them. Their children will remember.

Your isolationist position may seem attractive. Yet in the long run it is against both our own, and the world's interests. WE can probably politically survive, but will the rest of world? Between more muscular Russia and more powerful China, how exactly will decaying Europe fare? Should we abandon NATO? Taiwan? South Korea? And how long before this will affect our economic welfare too due to trade restrictions imposed by the new order in attempt to make us even less threatening to them?
Draw the line -- beautiful post!

Wolf...Our allies (yes, I believe in allies), can defend themselves, if they have the will to fight to the death to do so. We can support them with materials, but not troops, unless they are directly attacked AND we decide it is in our own best interests). Why the heck are we still stationed in Japan and Korea? Germany? NATO? We are being played for suckers. Those countires refuse to stand up for their own defense. They don't even come close to spending enough $$ on their military establishments. They spend their money on their health system instead. We are subsidizing those creeps. It's time for us to stand up for America, with no apologies. Being an ally of America should come with serious strings attached, not the freebie that is currently going on.

I disagree. That is how we behaved when the Germans annexed Austria and occupied Czechoslovakia. That is how we behaved when Germany conquered much of Europe, until we were directly attacked in Pearl Harbor. In retrospect, I believe that that was a mistake.
Since then our interests became even more global, and we definitely should not take an isolationist stand. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

"You are making a moral argument."
Indeed I am. At least partially. I do not believe in pure real-politics. I do not believe in pure moral action either. The former ignores the long term need for a nation to feel morally right, while the latter runs the risk of falling on your sword. Pure angels and villains live in heaven and hell. We are human.

Wolf...You seem to be saying that we should have attacked Saddam, because he was evil (he was). I have a close friend who believes this. Do you believe this? If so, should we also attack Castro? Should we go into Darfur, to save the women and babies? Should we preemptively attack Iran, in order to save Israel? Should we attack Saudi Arabia, because they fund the madrassas that cook up so much of the Islmastic fundamentalist hatred? Should we have intervened in Rwanda?
If I read you correctly, you are saying that you want to choose your moral battles. Whatever battles you so choose will require American troops to fulfill your ideals. Feel lucky? If so, whose day will you make?

If Saddam was left to his mass murder and rape rooms, there would still be 3000+ American troops alive, instead of dead.

If Saddam was still in power and we never went into Iraq we might have seen another 3,000 American civilians perish. If we let Iran be we might see another catastrophic attack on American soil. We can not react we have to take initiative and act. When America is seen as the enemy and such a power house we cannot isolate ourselves.
a resident of Palo Verde

"If Saddam was left to his mass murder and rape rooms, there would still be 3000+ American troops alive, instead of dead."
Indeed. And many more would not be wounded. But let me provide some perspective to these 3000 dead over three years.
Every year we have about 110,000 death from accidents in this country, about 40% of that from car accidents.
Every year we have over 30,000 deaths from suicide in this country.
Every year we have about 18,000 death from homicide in this country.
Each one on the 1000 dead soldiers in Iraq every year is a tragic loss to their family. Yet the family can at least console itself that their loss was not meaningless; unlike all the other 150,000 of accidents/murders/suicides every year.

Thomas...Of course we can isolate ourselves. We will be seen as an isolated powerhouse that does not meddle in other nations' affairs. We will not be the world policeman, nor it's savior. The rest of the world, especially Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, S. Africa, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, etc. will need to step it up to defend themselves. We will have far fewer obligations, even if we still have the same enemies. Once our so-called allies get serious about their war capabilities, especially their willingness to take casualties, we Americans can sit back and watch them take the punches - it will wake them up (finally). The world will be a better place.
The U.S. should be feared, for our own selfish reasons, period. Attack us, we crush you. It won't happen very often, but it will be remembered. This approach would probably save millions of lives, net. More importantly, it will save thousands of American lives.
Thomas, your approach will cost many thousands of American lives. America should be about America, nothing else. Forget the idealism. If other people like our freedoms, they will fight for it. If not, they will die, or be enslaved.
How many of you moralists want to sacrifice your kids for your principles? How many kids in your fine town are currently in the U.S. military? I don't want my kids to be killed for some other country's cause. I am selfish. I am amoral.

Wolf...If your point is that Iraq is a relatively low cost war, in terms of blood and money for America, I agree with you. But it could be almost zero cost. Why not? 3000 American military families would not be agrieved, if we, as a country, would simply be selfish.
Let the Middle East destroy itself. Let America defend itself. Let Africa and Europe decay away. It is not our responsibility.
a resident of Old Palo Alto

The choice for America to not be isolationist was made after WWII because we saw what could happen. We cannot step back from 60 years of policy. If we put the weight on the shoulders of countries that cannot handle it they will crumple. Then we will have greater problems than we have today. America cannot sit idle while we let problems pass us by because one day they will catch up to us. If we withdraw from all of our foreign obligations we will see the world be destroyed around us, soon the destruction will reach home.
I beleive in morality to a limit, but this is not about morals. Our help to foreign countries is in good reason because in some indirect way, if we do not act, it can come back and get us. A perfect example of this is the spread on commusion during the Cold War and the steps we took to counter that growth by helping develpoing countries. If the countries dealt with those uprisings by themselves Russia might be the only remaining powerhouse.
Your ideas above would be great if they could work now. But we cannot go back in time and change what we have done. We need to stand by our decisions and not devaite. Deviations shows signs of weakness, and in that weakness will come terror.
I am joining the military in the next year. Not for other countries, but for my country. I see what letting this insanity in the Middle East continue will bring.

Thank you for your courage and ability to see beyond our back yard.
Once you join, do not watch the news or read the papers,unless it is the Wall Street Journal, do not listen to the Democrats and do not read these blogs. You must have already been able to see past the constant attempts at brainwashing that the left does through their propoganda machines to be thinking of joining after all.
They do not represent the majority of people that you are working for. Remember, 3/4 of the American people who watched President Bush's speech last week support you, support America, and support him. We have to remember that, because of Pelosi, it was the biggest bipartisan group of viewers ever, so this includes intelligent Democrats, of the Lieberman ilk.
Most of the ones who didn't watch it have already made up their minds one way or the other, and don't care to learn anything else beyond their own pre-conceived notions. These are the people who yell the loudest in our country, because the media picks them to represent, so look like there are more than there are. For every Sheehan, there are hundreds of families of dead and wounded soldiers who are screaming at her to shut up and stop desecrating fighting against the cause of the soldiers and their memories.
They are also highly disproportionately represented in our media, so that you end up with silly reporters sayings silly things like one who stood in front of a bombed out building in Iraq and said "Iraqis aren't used to violence like this". That was hilarious, since with 1/2 million massacred Iraqis by Saddam and another 1/2 million from the war in Iran, and who knows how many from their invasion of Kuwait, there is hardly an Iraqi who doesn't have a missing family member, and another who was tortured.
Don't forget that. We had to learn that a long time ago. I still have family left in the military, and I don't tell them the horrors I read on these blogs, because I know these are the fringe. Some of them are well-meaning, and really think they are being helpful, trying to get our people out of war and bring them home. They are "useful idiots" ( read "Useful Idiots" by Mona Charon) for the people who are working hard to bring about the defeat of democracy in the Middle East, and by extension the defeat of America.
They have no clue the mentality of the fascists who use them in order to weaken us, and have a party to plan another bomb everytime Kerry, Dean, Kennedy, Shumer, Reid or Pelosi open their mouths. They have no idea that they are causing much more harm to our military and our country than the "neocons", who are nothing more than the true and original liberals of the USA, who believe that each and every human in the world has the right to self-determination, and it is our duty to help those who are ready to achieve this. They can not see the difference between working for the good of countries which, in the end, also benefits us.
They see no difference between dying Darfur, and dying for Iraq.
The reason the liberals want us to die in Darfur is because there is no long term good for us in it. There is no threat to us from that region. It would be useless death. Liberals like that. They hate it when we die for the good of our country's future.
They cannot see the big picture, and have been fooled into thinking they are doing "good" in the world and in our nation by constantly undermining our work in Iraq.
They are very, very lucky that the very people they are harming are still willing to put themselves in harm's way in order to assure their rights to keep opening their mouths.
Frankly, I am amazed that, after reading stuff like you see here and seeing our news, you still want to go risk your life for these people.

Wow. Where does one begin to attempt to cut through the nonsense, distortions and outright lies?
The "neighbor's house" analogy is stupefying. To continue the analogy, though. My uncle, whose name is Sam, helped build my neighbors house. My neighbor's name happened to be Saddam. Then my uncle didn't like the fact that my neighbor wasn't behaving the way my uncle wanted him to, so my uncle sets fire to my neighbor's house. Now I'm supposed to think that my uncle had some sort of altruistic aims in then trying to enlist me in putting out his fire? Sorry. The logic of this logic (to borrow from Richard Pryor) is absurd.
Complaining about Saddam Hussein invading two neighbors is even more disingenuous. One of these invasions was done with the not-so-covert support of my dear old, altruistic uncle, mentioned above. The chemical weapons came from, yes, my dear uncle, with technicalogical assistance from that other great humanitarian state, Germany (and who better to help with gassing civilians?). I'm referring to the Iran-Iraq war, in case it's not clear.
But then there are the strange cases of amnesia about all the countries (or neighbors, or whatever euphemism you care to use) who my uncle has invaded. I seem to remember being in the military in the late 60s and early 70s. Somewhere between 2 and 4 million people died as a result of what I took part in on behalf of my uncle.
Dow chemical, another humanitarian organization, got a commision from my uncle's caporegime (aka defense department) because it seems the that some people in Vietnam (another neighbor? big neighborhood, no?) were taking the napalm that got sprayed/splattered/dropped onto their persons and where removing it with their hands, causing significant burns. But that wasn't enough pain or injury. So Dow gets a commission to make a napalm that would stick better, so it would burn right through people.
And please. Those of you comparing Hitler and Stalin, please explain to me why those two were at war with each other? Why did 20 million people in the Soviet Union die fighting Hitler? Wouldn't it have been easier to capitulate and be done with Stalin? Take another look at that figure -- 20 million. That's what, 50 times as many Americans that died in WW2?
My post is more than a bit rambling. But then, there's so much lunacy that passes for intelligent thought in this country, witness Bill O'Reilly. I'm sure some of what's being posted here plays well at the Hoover Institute. How much of it is true?

What I am going to be fighting for is a democracy in the Middle East and I am going to be protecting is what everyone in this country takes for granite, which is the American constitution and Bill of Rights.I hope that in 50 years people will realize what happened and why, then I will look back and be the happiest man knowing that I stuck my neck out to get that outcome.

The Claude Monet Research and Conservation Project
The Claude Monet Research and Conservation Project began in June 2012 after the painting Argenteuil Basin with a Single Sailboat, (1874) by Claude Monet was damaged while on public display. The canvas had been perforated to form an extensive three-branched tear. Fragments of paint and priming layers had also been lost from around the site of the damage. The aim of the Project was to professionally conserve and restore the damage, returning the painting to hang in the Gallery in a repaired and stable condition. On 1 July 2014, following the successful completion of the project, the painting went back on display in the Gallery.

Nisswa celebrates fall with festival, BBQ contest
Downtown Nisswa was packed with activity Saturday, Sept. 21, for the 40th annual Nisswa Fall Festival and eighth annual Smokin' Hot BBQ Contest.
Tanner from Nisswa won $100 by finding the hidden medallion at the Pioneer Village about a half-hour after the second of three clues was posted.
Bill BBQ from Hutchinson took first place in the BBQ contest, followed by Smoke Addiction from Brainerd in second, and J & D BBQ from Moose Lake in third. VIP and popular vote winner was Session BBQ from Mantorville.
Artists and crafters lined the Paul Bunyan Trail and Turtle Track area with their wares, while City Hall Street was partially closed for barbecue contestants and the Pickle Factory parking lot was closed for bean bag toss games, live music and other games.
Children flocked to the Nisswa Pioneer Village to play games, get their faces painted, go down a giant blowup slide, jump in the Bounce House and pet goats, rabbits and chickens at a petting zoo. Top Hat Productions DJ provided music at the Pioneer Village.
Nisswa firefighters hosted a pancake breakfast at the fire hall.

By Edwin C. Darden
Despite wishful thinking to the contrary, a person's race or ethnicity continues to influence decision-making -- and school districts are no exception.
Whether the issue is hiring and firing, student discipline, parent involvement, subcontracting in bids, participation on sports teams, or -- most insidiously -- the soft bigotry of low expectations, the myriad social and legal issues connected to race persist. The fact that U.S. citizens elected a man of color to the White House has not significantly changed the equation.
The following school law cases during the last three years demonstrate the point. In each one, race or ethnicity is a factor -- frequently in an accusatory way. Sometimes the school district is declared in the wrong by the court or by public opinion. Just as often, an individual falsely or mistakenly blasts officials acting in good faith.
My conclusion is this: Perhaps every one of us did learn everything we needed to know in kindergarten, i.e., harmony is not complicated but it is hard. As I recall when I was 5 years old, the classroom rules included "be kind" and "be fair." We should all practice what we teach.

What year manual states to replace them?
Every year I just looked up states to reuse them.
#04-06-01-032: Information on Northstar Engine Mechanical Repairs - (Oct 27, 2004)
It might be instructional to spend some time doing Google searches of the world's engines - powering every type of conveyance imaginable - that use studs for iron, iron-aluminum and all aluminum engines - for cylinder heads, cylinder jugs and block assembly.
Properly designed and machined, it makes not one whit whether the fastener is a bolt or stud - they are both dynamically elastic over a specific range of tension and stretch. Both Jake and Tim have done their metallurgical homework ..................By all that's holy, a stud is nothing more than a bolt without a permanent head. The ONLY reason to use a stud in a Northstar block repair is to eliminate another set of threads in an insert.
I'm not knocking studs (or bolts) or their proper application - Just how long do you figure the cylinder studs are on this 18-cylinder 2800 hp air cooled aircraft engine (Super Constellation) considering that the engine is almost 6 feet in diameter ? (or the incredible range of temperatures over which it operates ???)
just another anecdotal reference point
we've been using time fastener bigserts and stock head bolts ever since these repairs began
we've probably done over 1000 of these jobs ... from what i understand the only ones that have come back were some of the very first ones before the bigsert were used and regular timeserts were used
(that was before the thread pitch was found to be the main source of the failure ... and the bigserts fixed that)
just fyi
I'm sure OP point was that the studs and headbolts are not spec'd the same. I don't agree, proper studs and installation using either is critical. Incorrect torquing of studs can cause issues for sure and in my opinion require more attention to installation, but so can bolts. If studs are a problem and will cause me issues 75k miles down the road big whoop. car's going to be junk by then anyways.
To reinforce Sub's aircraft engine point and to question the validity of AJ's "racecar" engine point. Here's what I say, look at every Piston driven internal combustion engine designed to travel over a million miles or log thousands of hours at max torque. Tractor, Semi, train, ships, submarines, construction equipment, industrial engines, ad-nausia. What do they use? They use studs. The type of metal is accouted for in design specs but otherwise irrelevant to choice of head fastener.
Bolts for heads are for costs or ease of service in applications where a fastener caused failure doesn't cost lives or significant relavent currency. The car is warrantied for 100K or less after that if your car breaks down, fix it or buy another one, otherwise nobody cares. So they get head bolts. I have to fork out bucks and spend a ton of time fixing this Caddillac if the head seal fails again. So it got studs.
That being said I don't think a Norm's or Big-Serted block with new bolts is a problem. Those solutions should work great.
I figured the second edition had the lastest information.......
Great chart for reference.... Possible sticky?
This is strange
OK This is an update
same Document
The Lower Crankcase Installation document that you posted Id #169055.
That one especially I was concerned with because if you reseal the bottom of the motor, the main bearing bolts are broken loose. At that point bearings were to be replaced along with the bolts. I'll have to find the page in my manual.
Yet, if there are revisions and certain procedures aren't deemed necessary anymore I guess that's a good thing.
It's a good motor with some unfortunate issues......
Thanks again AJ for the detailed information.....
Just for future reference, when I went through my Northstar I had issues with the main bolts. While loosening them by hand, with some quick tugs, I broke three of them. One was snapped in two with the lower half stuck in the block to the point I had to take the short block to a welder for extraction. After the first one broke I proceeded with extreme caution on the others and found two that had cracked to the point they were visibly twisting apart. Keep in mind this is not my first engine overhaul, I didn't go ape on it. These bolts are very hard, think brittle, and very thin, like a pencil. Because of my experience I will always replace them once removed. I believe it's not worth the risk trying to determine if the popping I hear coming out was threads or bolt shanks. I think I spent under $70 wholesale for all new main bolts. In any case never use power tools to remove or install them.
The distinct snapping noise of those bolts breaking loose is bone chilling.....
I said to myself....DAMN what in the world did they use to install these bolts?
I like Vernon, decided after that adventure not to reuse the old main bolts.
Again, no power tools for insertion or extraction.......
Hey guys,
This is Tim, interesting conversation, hats off to AJ for his theories.
However, as good as he sounds, he is incorrect in theory. Having a few years as a Cadillac mechanic does not one make an automatic engineer.
Whether you ask me or Alan Johnson with CHRFab, you will find we have done our homework, we are engineers it is what we do.
GM's reason for torque to yield bbolts was for the weight and nothing more, they use minimum weighted material in a lot of different areas of the car, likewise this was the purpose of the aluminum engine.
One more thing, it is true that studs should never be at the deck surface, this is common knowledge
AJ is correct on this issue. Our studs have been engineered to go to the correct depth and we provide replacement dowels
for this purpose. Alignment studs are above the surface and will in facr distort the deck and should not be used.
Using correctly engineered studs will far out perform torque to yield bolts, hands down.
We have zero failures, but we have had to repair many after Cadillac dealers service departments sert jobs have failed.
The big Serts I just read about is also a set up for failure, and once they fail? The block can never be repaired again.
Big Serts should never be an option.


text: So I was fortunate to have yesterday off. I decided to do some more work on deleting the chrome from my truck and wanted to share some photos. I will be peeling and respraying the front bumper today. It is a bit more textured than the other parts due to the can of dip being too cold when I painted, also there is a spot that pulled a bit when removing the tape for the first time. Also on my black out to do list- Plasti dip rims, sand and paint door handles flat black, spray tint 3rd brake light, re coat tail lights with spray tint (only a coat or two to smoke), smoke headlights with spray tint (again lightly so the red still shows through and so I am not bothered by the local cops), dye plastics black with the bondo restore black kit (lower valence, rear bumper plastics, tailgate protector plastic, maybe bed liner rails).

I hadn't been back to San Diego since that ill-fated lark over 20 years ago, so I thought I'd spend a days in the city again seeing how the first place I tried to make home after college has changed over that time
After checking-in at the Hostel at Point Loma I figured I'd spend my first day rather idly on the Point Loma Peninsula, the part of the city between the airport and the Pacific that hangs out into the ocean. The city of San Diego and the larger county have numerous beach communities along over 70 miles of shoreline, each of which has its own particular quirky character. Ocean Beach lies just south of Mission Bay Park and is mellow in mood and a bit on the grungy side. I have no doubt real estate prices in OB are still exorbitant even after the bursting of the housing bubble, as they are in any seaside area in Southern California, but the dominant culture here is Hippie not chic. Newport Avenue, OB's main drag is full of record stores, tattoo and piercing parlors, and head shops as well as taco stands and funky ethnic restaurants. So much body art! So many graybeards!
I walked out on the pier and fed the pelicans alongside laidback fishermen. Surfers bobbed in the waves; hacky sack players kicked their little footbags on the beach; hobos slept in the grass; and some Rastas panhandled me. I wandered along a trail through rocks and coves filled with beardy dudes and dudettes lying in the sand, some strumming guitars, and everywhere that smell
Well, Slackerville was entertaining but after a few hours of it I was ready to move on. On a high ridge between bay and ocean and cooled by sea breezes and frequent fog, the Point Loma Peninsula must be one of the most beautiful areas in San Diego.

Today's cutting-edge technology will be antiquated by the time we wake up tomorrow, rendered obsolete by many of the innovators who participated Saturday in the Creative Technology Expo at Hartnell College in Salinas.
Most of the two dozen exhibitors encouraged participants, mainly college students, to merge creative, artistic ideas with modern technology to produce things that previously were only a figment of somebody's imagination.
"Artists are incredibly important people in society and in our culture, and they need to be at the table in every respect — part of the bigger conversation about what our cities and communities look like," said keynote speaker Joel Slayton, executive director of Zero1, a San Jose-based art and technology network. "They need to be at the forefront of helping shape the way in which we're thinking about the future that we want to build for ourselves — and not just there to decorate it, put a surface on it or entertain people."
Slayton said artists are the ultimate provocateurs, the ultimate risk-takers, and therefore are the key to making Silicon Valley more creative and innovative.
"Look to artists. Look at how artists work," he said. "If you really want to understand creativity, look at the creative strategies artists employ."
Slayton said most of the creative tools and technologies we use have been designed by scientists and engineers who think they know what the world needs. Tapping into artists as "a disruptive force," he said, will lead to the most dynamic types of innovation.
First-semester communication and design students at CSU Monterey Bay are using high-tech software to create a virtual, 3-D model of Fort Ord that can show how the area will look in the near future.
"What we're presenting is the next generation of creativity, using a combination of old-school aesthetics and new-school technology," said Pat Watson, whose students are learning to write code using a powerful game-development application to produce an interactive build-out of Fort Ord. "People will be able to play it as a game and discover what Fort Ord will look like if all of the proposed housing and developments are completed. With this, students who otherwise would never be engaged in civic politics will be much more likely to participate."
Another exhibitor was NASA's Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Aerospace Academy, whose only West Coast chapter is in Salinas and operates through Hartnell College. The free program for K-12 students involves at least three hours a week of after-school instruction for eight weeks, plus one week in summer.
"Hartnell College is very invested in this because it's a pathway into college," said Maggie Melone, director of the Hartnell program. "We're teaching these kids that they can be engineers, mathematicians and scientists, and they don't have to have a lot of money and go to Stanford to accomplish it. Anybody can do it."
Brittany Fritsch of Webity, a Monterey-based website design and development company, said one of her tasks at the expo was to find bright new employees.
"We've got to bring some talented new people into our company so we can make some room in our schedule," she said. "We're very anxious to connect with some college students who are interested in technology, even if they don't have a lot of computer experience."
Other exhibitors included the Media Center for Art Education and Technology, based at the county Office of Education, and the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The 18-year-old freshman who was shot and killed by a University of South Alabama police officer Saturday morning was apparently on LSD, according to Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran. According to Cochran, witnesses have submitted sworn statements that say they and Gil Collar, 18, were at the BayFest Music Festival Friday night where they ingested the hallucinogenic. When they went back to the university dorms, Collar allegedly took all his clothes off before he "approached and assaulted people in two vehicles," Cochran said. "He [Collar] had grabbed her [one of the victims] arm and was trying to bite her on the arm and making weird noises and statements towards this victim," Cochran said. Just minutes later, surveillance cameras caught Collar, drenched in sweat, trying unsuccessfully to get into the USA Police Department. Less than a minute later, deputies say he began "very actively beating this window glass," in an apparent attempt to break through it. Shortly after that, USA police officer Trevis Austin, 27, came out of the station with his gun drawn, a move which Cochran said made sense in the situation. Surveillance footage showed Collar repeatedly lunging at the ground and the officer while alternating through fighting stances as Austin attempted to retreat, according to Cochran. Although the surveillance footage and witness statements given to sheriff's deputies may point toward a lawful use of force on Austin's behalf, Cochran stressed that the investigation is ongoing. "We have not reached any conclusions," Cochran said. "We will ultimately present this information to the district attorney, and the district attorney of course will take further actions with, I guess, the grand jury. It's her call." Collar was shot and killed by Austin around 1:23 a.m. Saturday. The District Attorney's Office is investigating the case with MCSO. Collar's family has also announced they have retained legal counsel to conduct an independent investigation.
quote:If someone on LSD attacked any other person it would be an acceptable outcome. Batons and tasers arent the cure all and many officers arent equipped with tasers anyway.
Why no tazer or baton?
Justified and I have no problem with it. Keep his job and hopefully the family doesn't get a dime
Must have been having a pretty bad trip.
"In the use of deadly force, if someone is capable of overpowering you and taking your weapon away, then they are capable of using deadly force against you," Cochran said. "Once a police officer has his weapon out, then that weapon is available for the other person to take it from him unless he maintains control. So you have to look at it from that light."
lthough it wouldn't have worked anyway most likely.
Sucks but moral of the story: don't do drugs, kids.
Justified and I have no problem with it. Keep his job and hopefully the family doesn't get a dime
Not saying it was or wasnt justified, i just have an honest question. So any time someone squares up trying to fight another person, they have the right to use deadly force?
Should have at least popped a few into the kid's lower body

I saw the same thing at the last show I went to and the guy told me the same thing.
I was perusing Sturmgewehr and came across a sight selling a hand grip for a Mossburg shotgun. There claiming that you can have a 14" BBL shotgun A/O 26" and not be subject to NFA rules? The name is shockwavetechnologies, I also saw one at a gun show - short BBL shotgun made by the Turk's or Russians a while ago, has the law changed or has the BATF made a new ruling, they used to be called AOL weapons and needed papper work.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and goverment, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so that the second will not become the legal version of the first" ~ Thomas Jefferson
I saw the same thing at the last show I went to and the guy told me the same thing.
It has something to do with ability to be fired from the shoulder as I recall from an ATF bulletin, however, I can not find that bulletin any where.

Yes, it's legal in some cases. Basically, fed law defines a shotgun as a shoulder fired smoothbore firearm. With a PG, it is not shoulder fired so does not meet the Fed definition of shotgun.
Fed NFA law defines a short bbl shotgun as:
(1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
(2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length;
Here's where the "sometimes" comes in. Mossberg and a few other companies sell their products with a PG installed at the factory, not a buttstock. Under Fed law, these are not shotguns, they are simply "firearms" with no legal sub-classification like a rifle, handgun, etc. So, if one takes one of the these factory PG shotguns, or say you can find a virgin receiver to build on, you can legally cut the bbl shorter than 18" so long as the overall length remains 26" or longer. The catch is, since Fed law defines an SBS as any "firearm made from a shotgun", it is illegal to do this to a shotgun that came from the factory with a buttstock attached since at one time the gun was indeed legally a shotgun.
AOW, or Any Other Weapon also applies, which is why the overall length must be kept over 26". The part of that law that would apply to such a gun states it must be "concealable". ATF uses 26" overall length as the test for whether or not a firearm is concealable. Keep it over, not an AOW. Go under, you need to register and pay the tax.
The main problem here is 99.999999% of LE you run across will have absolutely no idea that what you have is legal, they will see "sawed off shotgun" and arrest. In the end, you might prevail but the $200 tax looks a lot cheaper than legal bills. Also, state and local laws apply, and their definition of SBS may vary enough to cover one of these. Also note the letter below states that IF you are found actually concealing one of these bad boys, they MAY decide the AOW law applies after all, since they have actual evidence they ARE concealable. So no Doc Holiday rigs, please, or the loophole these fit in may close up fast.

SBS shotguns are VERY nice for room clearing. Plus in and out of vehicles is much easier.
Thanks for the info Kernel!
I hunted birds for many years, and have taken a lot of hunters with me. The only two shotguns that I will not drag up here are a Mossberg, and a Remington 1100. I damn shure would not trust my life to one of those. I would rather have a regular birdgun, and two shots that I knew were going to go off. That is why I shoot Beretta's.
If the kernel says it is legal, it is legal. But...
I just took my Tax Stamped SBR, the one with the tractor trailer trigger pull, out too the Ocala Forest range.
Nice place good people.
When the range goes cold, self supervised, we all B.S. and talk guns.
Guy are checking out my 7 in., think it is shorty.
"Nice weapon, cool, that's illegal, is it a machine gun?"
Young guy, 'who wants too shoot my machine gun' and me, get too talkin.
"What do you do for work?"
"Rookie State Trooper. I never fired a machine gun, I would really like too try one."
Nice kid, was not busting my chops, he just wanted too fire a machine gun..
I spent the next hour explaining the rules of form 1s, Tax Stamps and the legal ownership of short barreled weapons and full autos.
Point here is.
The laws are so confusing, how can we expect the average L.O.s on the beat too understand them.
For the few bucks, I would SBR Tax Stamp that weapon.
If you wanted too put a stock on it later, it would be feasible.
Might be a time and hassle saver down the road for you, if your ever pulled over.
"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
You can also register them as an AOW, if you start out with the PG version and leave the stock off. One major advantage to this is the tranfer tax is only $5, not $200. Lots easier to sell when the tax is so low, and if you can get a licensed manufacturer of NFA items to install the bbl for you for less than $195 (he makes items tax free, the business pays a single $500 tax a year to cover everything) he can then transfer to you for $5 and you save on taxes. If you make it yourself on a form 1, the $200 "making tax" is due. Where I live, SBS are illegal, AOWs are not. So I cannot own a full stocked shotgun with 17.5" bbls, but a Serbu Shorty is perfectly fine.
