Vacations for Thrill Seekers
We've traveled the world to find the most thrilling vacation spots for those who would rather have their heart race than lay on a beach.
Not everyone enjoys the all-inclusive, "lie on the beach and swim up to the bar but be sure not to drink the water" getaway that seems to be the go-to vacation destination nowadays. Believe it or not, some of us want to swap our daily schedule of snoozing in a cubicle, slumping over a bar and sitting in front of a television for character-defining experiences, unforgettable culture and exotic sexy ladies in their natural habitat. It's not like you won't see hot girls at resorts—in fact, hot girls are probably 80 percent of their revenue—but you can find a list of the top places to lounge around (just like you do at home!) somewhere else, because this list is strictly for those who are ready to shake things up on their time off.
Sea Kayaking: Antarctica
If you're itching for an icy escapade but still want to keep warm, the ultimate vacation is sea kayaking in Antarctica. With expeditions ranging from eight to 27 days, you're able to choose from a variety of daytime activities and an array of amenities to enjoy on the ship when you're feeling too cold to brave the glacial seas. Due to the extreme cold, ever-changing climate and rough, unforgiving waters at the notorious Drake Passage, your trip to the Antarctic can change at any minute, whether you're in a kayak, snowshoeing on land or having a drink on the cruise ship.
If you're ready to brave those kinds of conditions in a kayak, knowing full well that the water will send you into an immediate state of hypothermic shock, get ready for an unforgettable experience not many live to see. More info here.
Caving in the Black Abyss: New Zealand
If you have a phobia of claustrophobic spaces, being trapped in a water-filled cave or seemingly bottomless black depths, this caving experience is probably not for you. But if you're ready to take your love of bouldering to a whole other level, you need to check out the "Original Ultimate Adventure" in Waitomo, New Zealand. The Black Abyss tour is famous in the caving community for its incredible glowworm-studded cave, its jumps and the unbelievable cave tubing ride that ends the five-hour expedition. Basically, it's a huge underground playground for the daring. Since the Waitomo Glowworm Caves are heavily guarded by a scientific advisory group, the caves are a safe place to visit. But be warned: if you get hurt or lost along the way, your screams will be muffled by the noise of the waters below.
For this adventure, you will be accompanied by an experienced team of caving guides who only expect you to bring your moderate level of fitness, swimwear and a good attitude, so start hitting the boulder room at your local gym! More info here.
Hiking the Grand Canyon: Arizona
What's great about Grand Canyon National Park is that there are so many activities for adrenaline junkies. Whether it's day tripping under the unforgiving sun through the backcountry, biking along the south rim or taking part in an exhilarating white water rafting trip that takes you through the Grand Canyon, there is no possible way for you to run out of things to do in the park. If you opt for hiking the backcountry, be ready for an incredibly strenuous journey. The park is not kidding when they say, "First time Grand Canyon hikers tend to react to the experience in one of two ways: either they can't wait to get back, or they swear they'll never do it again."
While the national park will go above and beyond to help missing hikers, they are adamant that only the fittest should take part in their backcountry trails and will remind you a million times that there is no one to assist you if you become lost, ill or injured while hiking. Mountain lions, scorpions and venomous snakes do inhabit the Grand Canyon, so be cautious of where you set your tent and your feet. More info here.
Sardine Run: South Africa
Described as the aquatic counterpart to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the Sardine Run has become one of the biggest tourist attractions for thrill seekers and nature lovers alike. During the months of May, June and July, billions of sardines journey up the east coast of South Africa and follow the cold winter currents toward the warm Indian Ocean. Be ready to be face-to-face with hundreds of the world's deadliest sharks, like hammerheads, Zambezies, coppers and great whites, along with dolphins, birds and whales who have no problem pushing you out of the way to gorge themselves on this unnatural buffet of fish. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer sensory overload you will experience on this vacation.
Because the sardine run entices an array of sharks that may not usually come close to shore, divers must be wary of the look of their gear so they're not mistaken for common aquatic prey. Scuba divers have been mauled in shark attacks due to striped gear and improper equipment. The city of Durban also strongly urges bystanders not to swim or snorkel during these months as shark nets are removed from most beaches during the annual sardine run, making everyone in the water fair game for the hungry creatures the migrating sardines attract. More info here.
Larapinta Trail: Australia
While almost all hikers make it out of the Larapinta Trail alive, it's not out of the ordinary to develop sicknesses and infections, sprain your ankles, become dehydrated or hypothermic, suffer from overexertion or even find yourself completely lost. In fact, the Larapinta Trail asks all who are planning their hike to anticipate everything listed above.
With walks ranging from one to 16 days, the Larapinta Trail is a great place for any traveler who is ready to utilize every single muscle in his body and test his wits against the ultimate wilderness experience. All 12 trail sections are heavily rated by quality of terrain, graded by hiking experience needed and list all facilities at the trailhead of each section.
This 223-kilometer trail is one of Australia's most loved and unique trekking experiences and is also one of the newest trails in the country, which is why you must be prepared for anything that may be thrown at you. The breathtaking backdrop of Australia's famous outback is reason alone to visit this trail, but we all know thrill seekers will be going for the undisputable adrenaline rush. More info here.

This restaurant-worthy seafood pasta dish is a snap to make and an easy way to impress guests. We like the sweet taste and extra-saucy consistency of canned diced San Marzano tomatoes in sauces like this one. Marjoram pairs well with the seafood, but basil or even parsley works too. Serve with a Caesar salad.

@casinoken - than you are the second person to say such.... everytime i looked up sugar water online, there was never any mention of lemon...
@casinoken - than you are the second person to say such.... everytime i looked up sugar water online, there was never any mention of lemon...
gonzo, I saw in a book where the breeder was describing making "invert sugar" by adding a few grams of tartaric acid (aka cream of tartar) to the syrup...in this case, it was being used for making queen candy, but I think it gets about the same point across...lowers the Ph so more of the sucrose sugars are broken down into non-crystallizing glucose & fructose. Once the sucrose has been broken down enough, the glucose+fructose syrup is nearly impossible to get to crystallize under normal circumstances (yes, I'm aware that it's possible, AND that "crystallized fructose" is sold in health food stores....but it's not likely to happen unintentionally). This helps with making queen candy for obvious reasons, and should help avoid bees from getting syrup-killed by having the syrup hyper-saturate & re-crystallize sugar granules on the bee.
Not a myth, but a mystery.
Mark Berninghausen
Sounds like you are inverting the sugar...sort of anyway. I usually invert some of the syrup I make each year, expecially if I think I may not use it all right away. It may or may not be all that benificial for the bees but it make me feel better
"Most beekeepers have never seen it."
True, and when you do, you will not be able to comprehend that there is anything so lethal and virulent.
Yes, many other situations cause symptoms that are similar to, but not ALL of the CCD symptoms. Mite load, mild neonicinoid exposure, a lack of summer flow, etc; but they are nothing compared to the real thing.
(Sorry SQKCRK, no mystery here).
Crazy Roland
If they simply accept your simplistic "GMO, nuf said" opinion without thoroughly investgating the many posssiblities, including stresses caused by the combinations of various factors such as pesticides, mites and viruses, we're all doomed.
'Nuf said, as far as I'm concerned.

I add a TBS of apple cider vinegar per gallon. More than anything to keep it from crystalizing. I keep the batches in the fridge until I need em. I try not to feed too much anyway, so that's why I'm more concerned about the crystalization.
Back on the thread, I think that neonicontinoid pesticides make the absolute best sense for a cause of CCD. Just look at the cause and effect, even the smoking gun. I think there is serious concern with thinking it's a disease. There will be a "treatment" for the "disease" soon enough, and if the company that makes the treatment has any lobbying power, they're going to try to make it mandatory. Most healthy hives can handle foulbrood - especially if you recycle your old brood comb. I've never had it, but I've read the stories and the research on it. However, we have lot of folks scared not to load up their bees proactively with terramyacin.
I have mixed feelings about the hype. On one hand, I have people pay me to do cutouts and trapouts and don't want me to harm a single bee. It's great because we get fewer people spraying pesticides to try to do it themselves. However, do you know of any other species out there that has 2 Million (and that's just colonies) in a country that considered endangered? What I tell people is, the honey bee is not a native of the US. There are over 2 million commercial colonies. However, you are doing a good thing. What is in danger is a feral bee that can handle the diseases and pests that have been brought into the U.S. By having me take care of your bees, you are sustaining genetic material that allows us to have a bee that doesn't need to be medicated just to survive.
We all want to be able to point to Bayer as the culprit and have them banned and our bees thrive for ever more. But no one, with all their wishful and definitively stated opinions, has yet seemed able to prove it. Who is up to the task? Please, someone? Anyone? Proof? Actual scientific proof and not merely wishful thinking? Anyone?

I do not doubt that CCD is real, but I see no smoking gun. The whole neonicotinoids thing just does not resonate with me. I have lots of bees sitting on the edge of cotton/soybeans/corn, and not for just a year or two, for many years (10+ years). I know for a fact that treated seeds are used and the neonicotinoids are being applied to the fields. My bees are very healthy and I have not witnessed anything that remotely resembles CCD.
CCD Is used as a common excuse for poor beekeeping, It does exist, and it does happen on huge scales, BUT a majority of beekeepers who lose hives, then blame CCD, when it was actually something much simpler like pesticede, mites, or bad feed.
One of the biggest guys in the industry made that statement to me last week, and upon reflection he right on. Poor beekeeping is responsible for a lot of the claimed CCD cases. That said there are definatly times its a mistery and something beyound our knowledge has reared its head.
I have been a bee keeper, maybe a keeper of bees is more accurate, for 14 months. I have been reading about bees a bit longer, maybe 18 months. As a new beek, my fact finding about CCD is approximately equal to my long term knowledge of Sasquatch. I now understand there are people hunting Sasquatch with ultraviolet lights, heat seeking devices and long range hearing equipment. The application of these technologies may advance the search for Sasquatch somewhere ahead of the CCD conjectures that I have seen in print to date.
Wayne, if u want a smoking gun about neonicotinoids, just look at what Bayer did in California this year. Instead of going through a re-evaluation of their most profitable neonicotinoid, they pulled it from the market and asked almond growers not to spray it. An admission of a problem from Bayer itself? Don't know, but in these tough economic times, I doubt a company would pull its most profitable product from the market if it didn't know there was a potential problem. Just sayin'.
One of the purported benefits of neonicotinoids is a sensory loss of direction for social insects. France, Slovenia, and other areas saw causal connections between the introduction of the pesticide and CCD symptoms. Additionally, though it is supposed to break down in sunlight, how many of us build hive bodies made out of glass?
sounds more like a political problem than a problem with the product. If Bayer thought that there was a real problem with the pesticide then they wouldn't they pull it everywhere (and not just California almond growers)?
It worth mentioning the bees are thriving in the highest neonics use areas like North Dakota. There's also the flaw here that CCD doesn't mirror the map of agricultural neonics coverage (which it should if it is responsible of CCD).
CCD isn't a myth as much as a catch all to explain a new phenomenon that is happening. There are definite markers for CCD and a multitude of problems found in correlation- it is a scenario of which came first- the chicken or the egg. When these losses came we imported a bunch of bees and with them a whole host of pathogens our bees weren't used to. According to most reports this nosema c. is a real booger. The virus isn't contained in just the midgut which is why fumegelin isn't effective, the virus needs the sugars to survive itself, hence no brood rearing, comb building etc... and it turns the nurse bees into foragers much faster. So if the virus is using the sugars in the nectar then the bee that need this amount to get from point A to point B will run short because the virus is eating it. They are weak and can't fly, can't fight off mights. There is no tell tale blk smelly poop. I was told to use a teaspoon of chlorine or lemonjuice in the sugar water til they overcome it.

Hervé Bocherens says his colleagues find his research methods a little "crude." He dissolves 30,000-year-old animal bones in hydrochloric acid strong enough to burn through metal, soaks the bone solution in lye, cooks it at about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and freeze-dries it until what's left is a speck of powder weighing less than one one-hundredth of an ounce. The method may be harsh, but the yield is precious—the chemical biography of a cave bear.
From This Story
Related Content
Bocherens, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tübingen, Germany, is in the vanguard of research on the bear, a European species that died out 25,000 years ago. People have been excavating cave bear remains for hundreds of years—in the Middle Ages, the massive skulls were attributed to dragons—but the past decade has seen a burst of discoveries about how the bears lived and why they went extinct. An abundance of bear bones has been found from Spain to Romania in caves where the animals once hibernated. "Caves are good places to preserve bones, and cave bears had the good sense to die there," Bocherens says.
Along with mammoths, lions and woolly rhinos, cave bears (Ursus spelaeus) were once among Europe's most impressive creatures. Males weighed up to 1,500 pounds, 50 percent more than the largest modern grizzlies. Cave bears had wider heads than today's bears, and powerful shoulders and forelimbs.
Prehistoric humans painted images of the animals on cave walls and carved their likeness in fragments of mammoth tusk. But the relationship between humans and cave bears has been mysterious. Were humans prey for the bears, or predators? Were bears objects of worship or fear?
Cave bears evolved in Europe more than 100,000 years ago. Initially they shared the continent with Neanderthals. For a time, archaeologists thought Neanderthals worshiped the bears, or even shared caves with them. The idea was popularized by Jean Auel's 1980 novel, The Clan of the Cave Bear, but has since been rejected by researchers.
Modern humans arrived in Europe about 40,000 years ago and were soon aware of the bears. The walls of France's Chauvet cave, occupied 32,000 years ago, are painted with lions, hyenas and bears—perhaps the oldest paintings in the world.
The artists weren't the cave's only occupants: the floor is covered with 150 cave bear skeletons, and its soft clay still holds paw prints as well as indentations where bears apparently slept. Most dramatically, a cave bear skull was perched on a stone slab in the center of one chamber, placed deliberately by some long-gone cave inhabitant with opposable thumbs. "There's no way to tell if it was just curiosity that made someone put a skull on the rock or if it had religious significance," says Bocherens.
Another discovery, hundreds of miles to the east of Chauvet, would shed light on the relationship between cave bears and humans.
The Swabian Jura is a limestone plateau in southwestern Germany that is riddled with caves. A short walk from the village of Schelklingen takes visitors to the foot of a limestone cliff in the Ach Valley. A steel gate guards the Hohle Fels cave from vandals and curiosity-seekers. Inside, the sound of dripping water competes with the quiet conversation of a half-dozen archaeologists.
Floodlights in the cave's main chamber illuminate the ceiling, vaulted like a cathedral above 5,000 square feet of floor space. Long ago, as shown by the bones and tools that archaeologists have found, cave bears and human beings sought shelter here from winter weather.

Although the USGS measurements of flow in the Gallinas at Montezuma hover at about 1.5 cubic feet per minute, there seem to be lots of dry stretches in the river through town and south of town.
Maybe 1.5 cubic feet per minute is just enough to fill up some of the puddles during the cool of the night, but evaporates to nothing during the day between puddles.

We have been family seven people, it was great. The apartment had everything and more than necessary, cleaning, kitchen accessories, bathrooms, rooms, everything everything spotless. Sheets, pillows, towels, hangers, soap, well I will tell you, ... and welcome a good wine and cups. FANTASTIC. The great location, in front of the metro and also close to well-known supermarkets (not advertise them not to wear them).
The host had everything under control from day one, and no problem.
I recommend it.
Ah, solved the issue of parking, there is a public parking near well priced.
Greetings and thanks LUIS

I'm liking the idea of giving Bruce some extra rest. He hasn't looked like the normal Jay Bruce this last week, and I think giving him a few days off is a good idea.

Setback for Votto. He returned to Cincinnati last night and had minor procedure to remove piece of floating cartilage. #reds
So was Heisey off due to being banged up or was Dusty giving groin shots allowing Leake to swing twice last night?
With the Votto news Bruce better come back and get it in gear after his break. Ludwick and Frazier can't do all the work.
like the lineup alot today especially with bruce being as bad as he's been lately
Won't be able to watch this one nor will I be on here during the game unfortunately.
Take that back. I'll be here for the first 20-30 minutes.

Welcome!It depends on your intended use for the gun. For a beginner who is just shooting at the range, a .22 is the best choice, probably followed by an adjustable-sighted .38 or .357 revolver. The latter can double as a fine defense gun, and if you choose the .357, an outdoorsman's gun as well.I am not quite sure what kind of gun I should be looking at. I have been looking around and heard lots of good things about glock and the glock 19 caught my eye. I have read in a few places that a 9mm is a good gun to start out with. Is this true?
9mm pistols are great for defense and some limited types of competition (www.idpa.com). Of the full-sized autoloaders, I think 9mm is the best pace to start, if you must buy a fighting gun right off the bat. Glocks are fine pistols, and are my preference, but there are many good pistols out there.
I will leave the questions on MS law to someone who lives there.

Wayne Law Congratulates Students Bagdady and Ringo on an Impressive Finish in 1L Oral Advocacy Competition
DETROIT (Feb. 12, 2009) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates students Carol Bagdady and Dan Ringo on an impressive finish in the 2009 State Bar of Michigan: Law Student Section's 1L Oral Advocacy Competition. Bagdady and Ringo competed against nearly 70 competitors from the University of Michigan Law School, Michigan State University College of Law, University of Detroit Mercy Law School, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Wayne Law, Ave Maria School of Law and the University of Toledo College of Law, and placed in the top eight in the competition.
The purpose of the competition is to give first-year law students the opportunity to practice their oral argument skills prior to their first in-school competition.Students are asked to argue a problem by composing and executing an oral argument for each position.
"I would like to congratulate Carol and Dan on a remarkable achievement," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor Robert M. Ackerman. "This competition provides first-year law students with a wonderful opportunity to get their feet wet and hone their oral argument skills. Carol and Dan's impressive finish says a great deal about their skills at this stage on their legal journey. They have made all of us at Wayne Law proud."
The 2009 1L Oral Advocacy Competition problem focused on constitutional rights, free speech and defamation. Specifically, students were asked to analyze and argue the issue of public figure status within the defamation statute in the state of Michigan through a number of cases provided to them.
"I attribute our success in the competition to the education we have received from Wayne Law and, particularly, the instruction provided by Professor Amy Neville in Legal Writing and Research," said Dan Ringo. "It was truly an amazing experience that again solidified my desire to pursue the practice of law."
Bagdady added, "I am grateful to Wayne Law for the excellent education I am receiving and for the inspiration and encouragement provided by Professor Amy Neville to enter this competition."

The New Zealand Breakers this morning confirmed the re-signing of guard Daryl Corletto on a two-year contract, after the player broke the news on Twitter last night.
"Ok so I will be playing for the Breakers for the next two years. Pretty happy about that. Great club. Time to get a championship this year,'' he told his followers.
Corletto arrived late in the pre-season on a one-year deal after parting ways with the his lifelong club the Melbourne Tigers in acrimonious circumstances. Putting that departure behind him, Corletto is enjoying a career season, not only posting great numbers but holding on to a starting role despite the return of CJ Bruton from a knee injury earlier in the season.
He said he was delighted with the new deal.
"I just couldn't be happier to be honest, this has been a great season for me and I feel like I am playing at a great club, one that I want to end my playing days with,'' he said.
"I guess there was some uncertainty when I first came over but even then I knew of the club's reputation for looking after players and welcoming everyone into the Breakers family. That reputation has proven to be right on the money, this is a great organisation and one I am proud to represent.
"Negotiations were easy, I wanted to be here and it seems as though the feeling is mutual, the club was keen to keep me. It is great to have this done at this stage of the season so there are no distractions as we head to the end of the regular season and concentrate all our efforts on Adelaide this weekend.''
The 30-year-old has indicated a desire to play until he is 34 or 35 and will reassess those aims at the end of the newly-inked deal but clearly has a view to stay in New Zealand until he calls it a day.
"Sometimes things happen for a reason, you don't always see that at the time but moving to the Breakers has been great for my career and I have to say for me in the sense that I am enjoying my basketball like I haven't done in a long time. I am playing for a great coaching team and with a great group of players and support staff. Why wouldn't you enjoy this?''

- How to Read a Study Record
- Parkinson s disease (PD) affects half a million Americans, causing slow movements, tremors, stiffness, and trouble walking. Currently, these symptoms are measured by physical exam, but this is unreliable and requires an office visit. Researchers want to study a different way to measure PD symptoms, using a home-testing machine called a QMAT device. It can test how quickly someone moves doing different tasks. Researchers will study how this testing compares to physical exam testing and whether the device can detect changes in PD symptoms over time.
- To see if a home testing device can be used to evaluate Parkinson s disease symptoms.
- Adults at least 18 years old with PD.
- Participants will have about 22 clinic visits over 5 years. Each visit will take up to 3 hours. Visits will be scheduled along with visits for another study.
- At visit 1, participants will learn to use the QMAT device and how to send testing information to the clinic by computer. The device has a computer screen, some buttons, and some pegs. Participants will get a device to take home and any accessories.
- Participants will learn 2 QMAT tests. For one, they will press keys as fast as possible. For the other, they will move pegs into holes. The tests will take a total of about 20 minutes.
- Participants will take both tests at home, 2 times on the same day each week, once before their medication, once after.
- A study coordinator will monitor the participant s computer data and discuss the at-home testing at the clinic visits.

I used a simple step by step program on Quicken Willmaker & had it notarized for free at my bank.
It's called a "living trust", they are most commonly used to avoid paying death taxes and going through probate. They are similar to a corporation, a "legal person" that can own property. Real flesh and blood people are known as "natural persons" in legalese. Normally all it takes is filing some paperwork with your state to set one up, a lawyer is definitely recommended although some Will writing software includes trust setup forms.
The requirement for a local LE "signoff" is the major stumbling block to NFA ownership for most people. If your local chief or sheriff doesn't want to approve youir application going the trust or corp route cuts him out of the process.
In a traditional living trust situation the person transfers all their assets to it and names their heirs as in line to control the trust after their death. Thus, when they die no will or probate needs to be processed, the control of the trust automatically transfers to the next person in line.
In regards to NFA items the trust or corporation can own property including NFA items. Since a "legal person" can't have a police record the trust or corp does not have to get the permission of local law enforcement to own NFA items.

Don't feel bad. I order a license to become a Machine dealer from the ATF. The ATF sent me (2) licenses to run two Moonshine Stills in Mississippi. Seriously!!
I sent the stamps back, and they sent me the Machinegun Dealer license. All that covered a bunch of months.
After a couple years, they brought phoney criminal charges against me. Six months later, a federal judge threw out the charges. I told the ATF agents.... if I had to deal with them I would never sell another gun. I gave my machinegun license back, and to hell with them.
I kept my homemade SMGs though. Still have them almost forty years later.
Congratulations! You have now come to their attention. Expect strange people to drop out of the ether asking you to break all kind of laws, or want you to purchase un-licensed firearms. Some of which will make you really drool over them.
I was asked to bump off a killer (in jail). I was offered a cased sniper rifle with silencer for $300, and another time, a M-2 .50 MG with tripod for $125.
I was also asked to work undercover for the ATF and sell un-licensed machineguns (which the ATF would supply) to the local police force. I turned that down as well, which they really didn't like. Why? If I couldn't talk any cops into purchasing a un-licensed machinegun, the ATF could have charged me with possession of the same un-licensed machineguns. Either way, they would have looked good to their superiors, and helped out their future promotions.

The first time you purchase a NFA item takes the longest. I was approved and added to a Class 3 in 3 weeks, but four years after I had left the company, it took 4 months to approve a transfer! There is no logic or reason for how long it takes them to approve stuff, you just have to wait.
Let me put it this way...when I went for my silencer, I tried to do the CLEO option under the (it turns out) naive belief that if you're a law abiding citizen, stay out of trouble, pay your taxes, and all that, they'll reward you for not causing them any mischief. I made an appointment with the resident state trooper to get my fingerprints taken, dropped off my two passport photos, and all of that. I then set to wait.
...and wait...and wait...and wait.
After a little over a month I called the lieutenant who was goign to look at the paperwork, and I found out the resident state trooper never gave it to him! He said he'll take care of it, so I sat out to wait.
...and wait...and wait...and wait.
After ANOTHER month I called the lieutenant to find the status, and he told me he was declining it! Never mind that I'm gainfully employed, had a carry permit for 20+ years, and probably have a better credit rating that he did. I asked him why, and he wouldn't tell me! He said, and I quote, "that I would need to subpoena him and bring him before a judge for him to disclose his reasons". Keep in mind the CLEO signoff isn't to get his personal approval. It's to show that having a silencer was legal for where I live. This guy simply didn't like people having silencers and he didn't want to come out and say it becuase state law doesn't allow him to decline applications for that reason. What's worse is that he wouldn't even call me to tell me- I'd still be waiting even now if I didn't call him.
After that annoyance I said [censored] this and went through the trust route. It took about a week to get the paperwork for the trust set up, and after sending it in, I wound up with a VERY fast examiner who approved my form 4 in a little over two months. Therefore, I am not exaggerating in the least when I say I wasted more time fooling with getting the runaround from a bunch of cops and not getting anywhere, than I did going the trust route and getting approved successfully.
The moral of the story? GO THE TRUST ROUTE!
I learned one thing....if your form 4 is disapproved, don't expect your $200.00 back anytime soon.
They told me 90 - 120 days for refund & they were correct!
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
My last one took almost 4 months. Transfer from an out of state seller to my Class III dealer took one month and $200. Then, transfer from the dealer here in my state took another 3 months and a second $200!
I got a P.M. from a new member from Germany who wanted too send me full autos. All I had too do was file down the sears when they got here to make them legal.
Even told me it would be legal and easy. Just use a dremmel tool.
Strange people out their. Whoever they are. Hmmm. Wonder who would know I just got a legal NFA..

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Willing to Take Auto Dealer Fight to Federal Level
Tiffany Kaiser
April 16, 2013 12:13 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
He'll either lobby Congress for legislation or file a federal lawsuit
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is determined to win the fight against auto dealers and sell his company's vehicles directly to customers, but if he doesn't succeed at the state level, he's willing to make it a federal case.
"If we're seeing nonstop battles at the state level, rather than fight 20 different state battles, I'd rather fight one federal battle," said Musk.
According to Musk, he will likely take one of two approaches if it comes down to a federal matter. He will either lobby Congress to pass legislation for the direct sales of EVs made by startup companies like Tesla (and tie it to an energy or transportation bill) or file a federal lawsuit to fight the state restrictions as unconstitutional violations of interstate commerce.
However, The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) said it will continue to defend franchise and consumer laws in the states.
"NADA will vigorously defend the franchise system," said David Westcott, chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association. "A better option for Mr. Musk is to take advantage of the dealer network that already exists."
Musk has been
pushing support fo
r a recent bill
in Texas, called
House Bill 3351. This would allow distributors and manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) only to sell directly to customers without the use of dealerships.
He has gone as far as offering to
build a second manufacturing plant
in Texas, and is even trying to appeal to Texas consumers by discussing a design for an electric pickup truck that would be stronger than any current gasoline truck.
In addition to Texas, Musk has had issues persuading other U.S. states to allow the auto startup to sell its cars directly. Some of its problem states include Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York and Virginia.
Musk could have a huge fight ahead, though. NADA said that 48 states have some sort of restricition on factory-owned dealerships. Musk went on to say that about 20 of those have restrictions that would make his business model difficult while about six others have restrictions that would make it extremely difficult.
Musk has called the new Texas bill (and this overall business model of selling directly) a "life or death" situation for startups like Tesla.
"For us this is life or death," said Musk. "If we can't go direct we will not be able to sell cars."
In the past, Musk has said that he's open to a dealership model at some point when sales increase, since dealerships do promote competition and keep prices down. But at a startup level, he said this type of model isn't the best route.
Tesla currently sells about 10,000 cars in North America, where about 1,500-2,000 are sold in Texas.
Tesla is shipping over 500 Model S EVs weekly, and recently reported that
the company is now profitable
thanks to the Model S exceeding sales targets. Tesla Model S sales reached 4,750, which topped the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter.
In addition, the automaker is partnering with Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank to offer customers more financing options for Tesla's vehicles.

Jodie Sweetin's Big BreastsThursday, August 12th, 2010
Jodie Sweetin has grown up to be very yummy hot babe! This fuckable young actress is best known for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the long running television sitcom Full House. This little girl is now all grown up now. And what nice rack she has! Check out more Jodie Sweetin nude pictures by clicking on the link. Don't you just want to reach out to those plum breasts and squeeze them?!
Smoldering hot actress Jodie Sweetin earned a permanent and well-deserved place in the hearts of all mid-'80s sitcom lovers circa 1987, when the then-five-year-old won the part of pint-sized Stephanie Tanner, the middle daughter of widowed sportscaster played by Bob Saget on Full House. Jodie remained with the ABC program for all of its eight-year run but maintained a somewhat lower profile thereafter. This sexy stunner has now re-emerged with a smoking hot bombshell of body and a delicious pair of tits! If you want to see more Jodie Sweetin naked photos, just click on the link.

One of my childhoods was happy. The B&W movies projected on our small TV screen, more often than not, contradicted the drama I was living in my own home movie reels. But there were exceptions. In fact, the images of our television's B&W movies were very real to me. Sidney Poitier was one of those images, and thankfully, he made repeat appearances.

Rock drummers, like lumberjacks and insult comics, aren't known for subtlety, as we typically observe from their solo albums and side projects. Case in point: the Peth, an effusive band of Welshmen led by Super Furry Animals drummer Dafydd Ieuan who conjure the voluminous bite of SFA's debut, Fuzzy Logic.
Featuring actor Rhys Ifans, who's purported to be SFA's original singer from way, way back, the Peth (Welsh for "thing") make what sounds like psychedelic rock recorded in a pub, all claustrophobic and ear-ringingly fantastic, after the pile-up of pints has turned drunkenness into a not-so-silent lucidity. They're are fraternal, funny, and often incomprehensible. (The vocals of Ieuan and Ifans, when not consumed by the mix, are run through an assortment of trippy effects.)
On the George W. Bush–hating "Shoot on Sight (Flock of Zeigheils)" and the self-explanatory "Let's Go Fucking Mental," they're a steamrolling combination of all of the above. And though it's an offshoot of Team SFA (flowering pop harmonies, Herculean guitar fuzz, short-circuiting electronics, hammered dulcimer — check!), The Golden Mile blows its own cloud of neo-psych smoke, a straight dope that ensures you'll know what hit you.

Yeah this is starting to get pretty bad. Just read an article, Obama told the military to get ready for N. Korea.....
I don't know how many US troops are stationed in S. Korea but can the U.S. really be apart of 3 wars at the same time?
Just some theory out there [posted this in another thread]. If anybody did do something like this ,it would be right up theNorth Koreans alley. Personally I doubt it but..............

Tensions between North and South have remained since the end of the Korean war. Well over 50 years ago. Economic sanctions , imo , seem the best for the immediate future. We are stretching our military as it is between Iraq and Afghanistan...............the South might have to go at it with North on their own for the time being. We already take care of much of the border between the 2

Awareness of heart attack symptoms
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - While touring Zurich, Switzerland with her daughter, 71-year-old Carol Allen became sick. So sick, in fact, she couldn't even keep water down on the flight home.
When she arrived in Tennessee her first stop was the emergency room at Laughlin Memorial Hospital in Greeneville. "[No symptom of any kind, of any kind of heart attack. I just about fell out of the bed when they said I'd had a heart attack," explains Allen.
Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Jack Whitaker says not all heart attacks come with classic symptoms, "Women present with symptoms that can be uniquely different from men," he said. "The classic picture of a man clutching his chest bent over with the pain may not be the classic presentation with women."
In patients like Allen doctors use what's called a stent to maintain blood flow in the coronary artery. It's very small, but it helps maintain blood flow in the heart.
After the procedure in early June, Allen says she's back to her normal routine. "I have no stipulations. I'm back to riding my horses and taking care of them and yard work and doing my exercise," she told us.
Doctors say this story is a good reminder about raising awareness of women's heart health.

Join us on this spectacular eleven week Trans-Europa bicycle tour through twelve countries starting in St. Petersburg, one of the world's most beautiful cities. The route snakes through the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and into Poland and Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, reaching its halfway point in glorious Venice. Riders will then pedal along the Italian and French Riviera, visiting Genoa, Cannes and Montpellier. Then it's into Spain skirting the foothills of the towering Pyrenees to Barcelona. From there we head west across the Iberian peninsula to the Spanish capital of Madrid, the medieval town of Caceres and finally the great Portuguese capital of Lisbon.
Our itinerary initially follows the ancient amber trade route used by the Romans, from St. Petersburg, one of the world's most beautiful cities, to the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, then onwards through Poland and Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, before the tour reaches its half way point in glorious Venice, Italy.
After a short break of gondola rides, pasta, and Chianti, we will cycle across Southern Europe to the Atlantic Ocean. En route we will ride along the Italian and French Rivieras, visiting Genoa, Cannes and Montpellier. Then it's into Spain skirting the foothills of the towering Pyrenees to Barcelona where we will have 2 days to explore another of Europe's most impressive cities. From there we head west across the Iberian peninsula to the Spanish capital of Madrid, the medieval town of Caceres and finally the great Portuguese capital of Lisbon, from where explorers like ourselves set sail to discover the world.
This section begins in the 'Venice of the North', St Petersburg. Riders will cycle along the gorgeous Baltic coast of Estonia before arriving in the capital of Tallinn, with its amazing 14th century Old Town architecture. From there the tour pedals south towards Latvia, enjoying a second rest day in Riga, the 'Paris of the North'. After a day enjoying its cosmopolitan atmosphere, riders will head across the less travelled central portion of Lithuania, ending their journey in Vilnius, with its Baroque Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This section starts in Vilnius, with its Baroque Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and heads west towards Poland. Riders will spin across the forests of Southern Lithuania, possibly stopping for a dip in a Soviet-era spa. Crossing into Poland the tour will camp along some of the country's most beautiful lakes before heading south to the capital of Warsaw. Another few days brings you to Krakow, the only major city in the country to avoid damage during WWII and thus, an amazing repository of monasteries, palaces and churches. This section continues after 2 well-deserved rest days in Poland's ancient capital and heads south to begin the climb up and over Central Europe's highest mountain range, the Tatras. At the top of the climb, the cyclist will cross the border into Slovakia, a country of hill side villages and fiery Slivovica, a traditional plum brandy! The expedition now heads east across rolling hills to end in the country's vibrant capital, Bratislava.
This section begins in the Slovak capital of Bratislava and heads south through western Hungary where the riders may see remnants from the original basalt amber road construction of the ancient amber trade route. Turning south-west, the cyclists will cross into tiny Slovenia, possibly stopping to sample some fine local wine on their way to the capital, Ljubljana. After a rest day spent exploring the city's famous hill top castle, the riders will cycle towards the Italian coast, before arriving at incomparable Venice.
There are few roads in the world more famous than the ones resting between the mountains and the Mediterranean sea of Italy and France. The Riviera has been the sanctuary of the rich and famous in Europe and beyond for centuries, it has also been home to some of cycling's' most famous races, such as Paris-Nice and Milan-San Remo. We'll tackle these steep winding roads while we savour the view of the waters below. We'll have rest days in Genoa and Cannes but as well we'll pass through San Remo and Nice. After we reach the city of Montpellier we'll head towards the Pyrenees and Spain crossing the border near the coast and finding our way to magnificent Barcelona.
If there is a birthplace to cycle tourism, it is Provence. The scenery is spectacular as we leave the glamorous city of Cannes and head inland across fertile hills, covered in olive groves and scented with the famous herbs de Provence. A rest day in Montpellier affords us a chance to walk Europe's largest pedestrian area, enjoying the cafés under the summer sun. Tour d'Afrique founder Henry Gold once joked that "this is no cycling tour of Provence." At the time he was right, but now it is. The Spanish coast follows with its famous Paella dishes and stunning cliffs jutting down into the Mediterranean. Our last night before Barcelona is along the Costa Brava where you won't be able to resist a relaxing swim and the delectable seafood tapas!
Linking the two greatest cities of football-mad Spain, these 6 days of cycling take us first to the Catalonian center of Tarragona and the ancient Roman ruins of Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From there, the tour makes its final turn heading west into the hills of Aragon where we'll ride for one day on the Via Verde rail trail, even passing through a few unlit former train tunnels, so bring you headlamps! The rural, quiet nature of this stretch will end as we enter the gran ciudad of Madrid where endless culinary and cultural adventures await!
The lingering heat of autumn begins to subside as we start the final leg of the tour. First we cycle by the awe-inspiring NASA Deep Space Network satellites, where you can learn how this center communicates with the farthest reaches of the solar system. As your mind returns to earth we'll continue west towards Monfrague National Park, where hundreds of vultures circle the steep mountain peaks in search of an easy meal – don't take a nap here! Our rest day is in the UNESCO designated city of Caceres where you can explore the medieval architecture while enjoying the local tapas and wine. Our last days take us into Portugal; we'll cycle by fields of cork trees, enjoy the local Port and celebrate as we reach the Atlantic Ocean in Lisbon and the end of our epic journey.

Published Sept. 6, 2013Washburn Career Services
More than 100 booths, featuring both employers and graduate school programs from around the region, will be on hand for a Career and Graduate School Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday at Washburn's Lee Arena.
The fair is completely free and open to the public. Typically, between 400 and 500 Washburn students attend the fair, which is sponsored by the Topeka Capital-Journal. Members of the public, including students from other institutions, are welcome to participate.
Professional dress is requested at the career and graduate school fair and anyone who comes seeking employment should come prepared with resumes, said Duane Williams, Washburn career services specialist. About 90 of the 109 booths at the fair will be area employers, estimated Williams, who organized the fair. The remaining booths will be graduate programs from throughout the region.
An orange flag will be used to indicate that a company has internship positions available, Williams said.
Several of the employers participating are returning to the Washburn fair.
"They want to keep their brand visible in front of our students," Williams said. "You want an continuous presence."
Two on-campus events on Monday are aimed to help students prepare:
The Resume Roadshow, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday in the common area on the Memorial Union's main level, will offer free resume critiques and suggestions.
At 2 p.m. in the Vogel Room, second floor, Memorial Union, James Barraclough, career services specialist, will present about using LinkedIn to build your personal network and market yourself to prospective employers.
The LinkedIn session is the first of three Social Media Monday events planned for September. Facebook will be featured Sept. 16 and Twitter will be the topic Sept. 23. All three Social Media Monday sessions are open to students, faculty and staff and will be held at 2 p.m. in the Vogel Room.
Mark your calendar: Washburn also has a spring career fair, which will be held Feb. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lee Arena.

While dandruff is responsible for most itchy, flaky scalps, two less common
scalp conditions also cause persistent flaking and scalp irritation: scalp
psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
Scalp psoriasis is a very common problem that occurs when skin cells grow too
quickly on the scalp, and causes red lesions covered with scale. It can extend
beyond the hairline onto the forehead, the back of the neck, and around the ears.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a disease that causes flaking of the skin, and usually
causes the skin to look a little greasy, scaly, or flaky.
If your current medicated shampoo isn't improving your symptoms, try switching to one with a different
active ingredient. Always follow the instructions provided with medicated shampoos and conditioners.
Once symptoms clear, weekly use will help prevent further flare-ups.
Occasionally, severe scalp conditions may require treatment with a
prescription-strength shampoo, cream, or ointment. Your dermatologist can
provide you with specific advice on treating serious scalp problems.

How self-correcting is the written record of scientific and engineering endeavors?
Joseph Grcar
It comes as no surprise that the scientific literature contains mistakes, because an integral aspect of scientific research is to cope with errors. The types of possible mistakes vary with the purpose of the work. Thomas Kuhn identified three activities in science per se: establishing facts, reconciling facts with theory and articulating theory. A similar spectrum of work occurs in research into engineering processes or medical treatments. All these activities involve choices that are susceptible to error. For example, measurements are subject to fluctuations, and phenomena generally must be observed indirectly, so the quality of the selected data may be poor, or the chosen transformation of the data to the quantity of interest may be inappropriate.
Scholarly journals exhibit a variety of responses to errors in research articles (see the table at right). The peer review process undoubtedly detects some errors but journals supply little information about rejection rates and reasons. (Acceptance for publication depends on correctness, relevance and significance. Reviewers offer opinions about the correctness of articles, but they cannot be expected to duplicate the work to be certain.) Authors themselves report the majority of known mistakes and correct them in corrigenda and errata (see the top graph below right). Errors found by readers may appear in formal "comment on" and "reply to" exchanges. Identifying errors in complicated reasoning is itself a type of research that may result in separate articles. For example, the present article disputes the sometimes-pessimistic assessment of scientific error rates by supplying more data and a broader context. Finally, evaluating the merit of data and theories is intrinsic to scientific discourse. In recent decades the annual incidence of all three types of corrections (corrigenda and errata, comments and replies, and other disputatious material) has been nearly constant at about 1.6 percent of full-length journal articles, which at present amounts to almost 25,000 corrective articles per year.
It is misleading to impugn the scientific literature by focusing on fraudulent research as the Wall Street Journal did in 2011. Forced retractions number only a few hundred annually by the newspapers's own estimate, which is vanishingly small compared to the tens of thousands of corrections. Some retractions do involve fraud that can be difficult to prove. However, the journal did not explain that many retractions are prompted by simpler chicanery such as plagiarism or unapproved authorship. These transgressions are easier to notice now that documents are available through electronic media, which may account for the recent increase in the still very small numbers of retractions.

Even groups that worry about the long-term cost of entitlements aren't worried that immigration reform could make the problem worse. "Nothing I've seen suggests that it's a big negative," said Joshua Gordon, policy director of the Concord Coalition, a leading anti-deficit group. For Socia lSecurity, he said, it could even be a "net plus" to have more people paying into the system during their working years.
