Hi, just curious, but was an individual allowed to convert his own weapon to select fire/full auto pre May 1986 and register it? Tom
i think it had to already be registered at the time of the ban, so i'd say no unless your class 2, but even then it'd have to be out of your possession or destroyed within a year.
~ Czolgosz, Leon (1873-1902)
"I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people, the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime."
They used to toss the war booty in a pile and ask who wanted them.
Mostly Russian and Chinese AKs.
Hell we used to trade AKs for cases of peaches. Not a lot of guys wanted those junk wooden toys. We liked peaches.
But good question Tom. I still don't know what happened between 1968 and 1986?
Can an 07 still build legal full auto, register and sell? Or did everything have to be registered before 1986?
"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
Before the cutoff, an individual could manufacture an MG, and register it as a transferrable title-2 weapon.
Regarding the question "could I register an AK I mailed home from Vietnam?".....the answer is no....unless it was brought back prior to the amnesty in 68 and registered then, it would always be considered a contraband item.....
Many unregistered guns had their receivers cut, then were rewelded/remanufactured on a form 1 prior to '86........making them legal/transferrable.
Any MG made since 86 will be a dealer sample, and not transferrable to individuals
Like just for LEO's and the military. Specific rules apply, the LE agency or government agency has to request the sample, for instance.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
There are 2 types of dealer samples........
MG's imported /registered prior to 1968 are transferrable.
MG's manufactured in the US / registered prior to 1986 are transferrable.
MG's imported after 1968, and before 1986 are referred to as "pre-may" or "pre-86" dealer samples.....meaning they may be transferred only between licensed dealers. These guns may be retained by the dealer when his license expires.
MG's imported after 1986, or built domestically after 1986, are referred to as "post-86" or "post-may" dealer samples. They may be sold only to Law Enforcement / Govt, or to dealers that can provide a Law Enforcement / Govt "demo" letter. If the dealer gives up his license, these guns must either be destroyed, or transferred to a qualified dealer/agency/etc.........this is why you see so many HK416, MP-5, G-36 parts kits......easier to destroy the receivers and sell the parts than it is to find qualified buyers.
Thank You.
See "L.O. only" full auto on Gunbroker once in awhile.
Huh. If I start a new town and run for Police Chief can I buy one? Cool.
Our little town of Astor is patrolled by the Lake County Sheriffs. Were unincorporated.
Hmmm!! Now yah got me thinking.

"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
That is actually an idea I've thought of before. Besides cheap toys they can buy LE can get all sorts of toys free from the government. Last I heard they can go to any DOD auction beforehand and basically cherry-pick any equipment they want for free. Pay for the shipping, and they can order free M16s from the DOD as well. Prices have really gone up, but back about 89 or so Shotgun News had ads for police only surplus West German MP5s, complete with a half dozen mags and accessories for $500 each. M14s were $350. A Steyr MPi69/81 SMG could be had for $500 as recently as 5 years ago.
BTW, licensed NFA Manufacturers can basically build all the MGs they want, no letter needed as they are licensed to build them not just sell them. Almost any MG they could want for essentially the cost of a parts kit and a receiver. Costs $500-1000 per year in taxes to stay in business, but they get to have a lot of fun.
Class II manufacturers can also import one technical samples for reference. It is unclear what they consider enough variation between like firearms. The class II mfg I talked to said that importing variations for reference is somewhat of a crap shoot as one guy gets approved and another does not. These must be destroyed once the project they are needed for is over, but many retain them for future reference or the project stays on going.

C/P must have had lost some levels somewhere, they have even lower TES than the russians who had visible bobbles, while the canadians didn't have any.
Gee.. I'm usually one of those costume critics... But help has come their way ! Thank you Costume fairy Godmother ! This was a lovely dress. They both looked good. Hope it's the beginning of a new trend.
I've always been a little leery of this dance for them..it doesn't have a very waltz-like feel, no matter how the meter breaks down , but whether or not that counted for anything with the panel, who knows ?
I don't think C/P got dinged for the lack of waltz-like feel in their program. Their PCS alone would have put them in third. But they got smacked down big time in the TES- wonder where the mistakes were??
Guess we'll have to wait for the protocols to come out.

I tend to go to the grocery store and see what their prices are. Then it depends on how your selling it. How fancy the bottles are etc. I sell it at a farmers market. I figure there are two kinds of consumers there. The ones looking for something interesting and the ones looking for bargins. I think you can market to both. I sell in bulk in their container for $12 a gallon. ($6 for half a gallon ect.) I assume these are fluid ounces.
4 oz fancy jar $1.50
8 oz cut comb in a jar of honey $3.00
8 oz fancy jar $2.50
12 oz squeeze bottle $2.50
cut comb in a wide mouth 16 oz jar filled with honey: $5
cut comb approximately 1 lb $5
I just got the wide mouth 2 1/2 pound jars for cut comb but haven't filled or sold any yet.
David Eyre sells little crates to do multi colored honey in one package. I intend to try this soon. Put a dark and a light honey together. People are stunned that honey comes in different colors. I think I'll try sorting my honey by color as I extract and see if I can keep some of the flavours separate.
I am planning on taking an observation hive to the famers market, but haven't been able to do this yet. I built a little three frame wide one, so I could just shut the entrance before daylight and take it. I would just keep the entrance shut for the day. It has two screened feeder places on the top. The top is just 5/16" plywood and the holes are exactly the size of a quart jar lid and are screened with hardware cloth on the bottom. This way I can put a jar of honey on one end of the top and a jar of water on the other and the bees can use the water to cool or the honey to eat. I have the bees in this hive, but they are just getting established now. I suppose I should keep two of them so I could alternate one on Sat and one on Sun so they wouldn't get as stressed from being closed up.
I also have a one frame observation hive you can just pull a frame out of a hive and put it in it. I'm not sure if this is convienient enough for a busy day getting ready for the famer's market.
I am a hobbyist with 20 hives. Here in Yankton, SD I sell my honey at a farmer's market and also at several local craft shows during the Fall and one large festival (RiverBoat Days) in August. I offer honey, creamed honey, comb honey and beeswax candles/ornaments. The following are my prices for 2002 crop honey:
8 oz Hex - $2.25
12 oz Squeeze Bear - $3.00
16 oz Squeeze Honey Bee - $3.50
Quart - $7.00
Gallon - $23.00
5 Gallon Pail - $70.00
8 oz Hex - $2.75
16 oz Tub - $4.00
8 oz Round - $4.00
8 oz Cut-Comb - $4.00
I make many different figurine candles and two different size taper candles. I sell my tapers for:
6" Pair - $8.00
10" Pair - $12.00
I believe that presentation is very important. That is what gets people to come to your table and look to see what you have to offer. I use a bright yellow table cloth. I have signs stating "Local Honey For Sale". I have product elevated and not just on one level of the table top. I feel this is more professional. I may spend a lot of time in my presentation, but I feel it does pay off. Also, another important thing (probably the most important) is that I try and educate people on how my "Local Honey" is better tasting and better for them than store bought. It's just amazing how many people do not realize this. Hopefully, after talking to them they will go away with a bit more knowledge and of course a jar(s) of my honey!!!
I have 25 hives.
I have a self serve shed out at the end of the driveway and have someone closer in town selling from her house. I go to two Famers Markets every week.
8 oz (Glass) $2.25
12 oz (Bear) $2.50
1 lb (Glass) Bear $5.75 (Expensive jars)(Not a big seller)
1 lb (Glass) $4.00
2 lb (Glass) $7.00 (Best seller)
5 lb (Glass) $15.00 (Most repeat customers)
1 lb (Glass) Chunk $4.75 (Sells out fast)
1 lb (Glass) Creme $4.75 (Sells out fast)
No candles but blocks of beeswax for $3.00/lb (Candle ready)
free sample always help to sell too (or at least it works for me ).
I agree with the free samples. If you never heat your honey (and I don't) people are blown away by what honey really tastes like. They've only had the stuff from the store that tastes like it's been cooked like molasses.
Thanks for all your help. I am selling at a health food store and did a day of samples. People bought like crazy.
I am doing
cut comb at $5.00
8 oz at $2.25
12 oz bears at $3.00
1 lb at $3.50
2 lb at $6.00
I am planning on going to some craft fairs in October. Keep the suggestions coming this is how we all can learn.
How exactly do you do your free samples? Thanks
I only have 3 hives this year all are sized down to 4.9 mm and I harvested 200 lbs of wildflower honey and 100 lbs in the last 2 weeks of goldenrod honey. I sell all as cut-comb 1 lb. blocks for $10.00 each as chemical free and I sold out in 1 week at the farmers market and my home stand. I should have gotten more honey if not for the drought
Clinton Bemrose
how i do my free samples is just take a 1lb. 1/2 full along with a box of plastic spoons
and start asking prospective buyers/customers if they would like try some.

Zeke, Another method is use Toothpicks and let the customers taste the Honey. Costs less than spoons and does the same thing.
hadnt thought of that
thanks Russ,
while we are on the subject of honey
does anybody out thee sell any comb chunk honey in jars ??
if so how much should one charge for
say 1lb. jars or quart jars of comb chunk honey ??
thanks ,
I agree free samples do sell honey! I use popsicle sticks. They're available at Wal-Mart and other stores in the craft department. You can get them by the 1,000's next to nothing. They're cheaper than a plastic spoon and hold more than a toothpick. Let the customer dispense his/her own from a squeeze bear.
I also found a single frame observation hive is WONDERFUL "people magnet". Usually someone who isn't interested in honey will come to look at the bees. After a while of looking, they're interested in tasting. After that, they're interested in BUYING! Talk about a slick marketing campaign! It has worked for me and I'm sure others will agree.
Be ready to talk bees. Most "old timers" (and young 'uns alike) will have their share of bee stories. Keep them talking and soon they'll be buying.
Have fun but don't forget to educate your customer about the importence of bees.

Tasmania's unforgettable past here forever
07/09/2011 , 2:59 PM by Damien Brown
Everyday at the ABC we have the great privilege of sharing the unique stories of Tasmanians.
We highlight the characters, events and communities that make life here on our beautiful island state so great but sadly after they are broadcast they can be quickly forgotten as they disappear into the airwaves.
Never fear we have found a solution.
Chris Wisbey's exploration of the past is a popular and important treasure trove broadcast each weekend on ABC 936 Hobart and ABC North Tasmania.
We wanted to ensure some of those amazing stories are preserved so we can learn from the stories of our great characters that make life in Tasmania so unique.
From chats with old timers, to prominent Tasmanians, their stories are remarkable.
Our new Remembering Tasmania's Past blog now brings back to life a growing collection of chats with unforgettable Tasmanians.
Also if you have any story ideas for people we should be having a chat to in an effort to preserve their stories drop us a line at Statewide Weekends.
For now happy listening.

Columbia's "Pothole Posse" receive more than 100 reports in its first week
COLUMBIA, Mo. - In its first week, Columbia's "Pothole Posse" received over 100 reports of damaged roadways.
The crew is Columbia Public Works' solution to the potholes in Columbia after three winter storms.
Columbia Public Works spokesman Steven Sapp say the program will build a better relationship between the agency and residents.
"Streets with inside the city limits, certainly, with the exception of state routes, such as I-70, Providence Road and roads that are maintained by the state of Missouri," said Sapp. "We've had over 100 responses so far, just this week so we're very pleased with that. We'll continue the program through late spring and early summer."
To report a pothole, residents can call or submit a form online. Sapp said that crews will be out repairing the road within 24 hours of the filed report.
You can call Columbia Public Works at (573) 874-6289.

If you are planning to donate blood and bone marrow, you've agreed to allow doctors to draw blood stem cells from your blood or bone marrow for transplantation. Blood stem cells are the cells that make all of the body's blood cells. They form and mature in the bone marrow, and are then released into the bloodstream. Although they're called "stem cells," these cells aren't the same as the embryonic stem cells studied in therapeutic cloning and other types of research.
In the past, surgery to draw marrow from the bone was the only way to collect blood stem cells. Today, however, it's more common to collect blood stem cells directly from the blood. This is called peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation.
Blood stem cells can also be collected from umbilical cord blood at birth. However, only a small amount of blood can be retrieved from the umbilical cord, so this type of transplant is generally reserved for children and small adults.
A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test used to evaluate your overall health and detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia.
A complete blood count test measures several components and features of your blood, including:
Abnormal increases or decreases in cell counts as revealed in a complete blood count may indicate that you have an underlying medical condition that calls for further evaluation.
A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood. Ferritin is a blood cell protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body is storing.
If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body's iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency.
If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also may cause your blood ferritin level to be high.
Hematocrit (he-MAT-uh-krit) is the proportion of your total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells. A hematocrit (Hct) test indicates whether you have too few or too many red blood cells — conditions that can occur as the result of certain diseases. Red blood cells, or erythrocytes (uh-RITH-roe-sites), transport oxygen throughout your body.
A hematocrit test is done using a sample of your blood. A lab technician puts the sample in a device called a centrifuge that spins the blood very quickly in a test tube. This motion separates your blood into three parts: the fluid component (plasma), red blood cells and other blood cells. When the blood is separated, the technician can determine what proportion of the cells are red blood cells. Hematocrit is also called packed-cell volume (PCV).
In hemodialysis, a machine filters wastes, salts and fluid from your blood when your kidneys are no longer healthy enough to do this work adequately. Hemodialysis is the most common way to treat advanced kidney failure. The procedure can help you carry on an active life despite failing kidneys.
Hemodialysis requires you to follow a strict treatment schedule, take medications regularly and, usually, make changes in your diet.
Hemodialysis is a serious responsibility, but you don't have to shoulder it alone. You'll work closely with your health care team, including a kidney specialist and other professionals with experience managing hemodialysis. You may be able to do hemodialysis at home.
Peritoneal (per-ih-toe-NEE-ul) dialysis is another way to remove waste products from your blood when your kidneys can no longer do the job adequately. During peritoneal dialysis, blood vessels in your abdominal lining (peritoneum) fill in for your kidneys, with the help of a cleansing fluid that flows into and out of the peritoneal space.
A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood.
Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs.
If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count (anemia). Anemia can have many different causes, including vitamin deficiencies, bleeding and chronic diseases.
If a hemoglobin test shows a higher than normal level, there are several potential causes — the blood disorder polycythemia vera, living at a high altitude, smoking, dehydration, burns and excessive vomiting.
A prothrombin time test measures how quickly your blood clots. Sometimes called a pro time test or PT test, a prothrombin time test uses a sample of your blood.
Prothrombin is a protein produced by your liver that helps your blood to clot. When you bleed, a series of chemicals (clotting factors) activate in a stepwise fashion. The end result is a clot which stops the bleeding. One step in the process is prothrombin turning into another protein called thrombin. The prothrombin time test measures how well the clotting process works and how long it takes to occur.
Sed rate, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a blood test that can reveal inflammatory activity in your body. A sed rate test isn't a stand-alone diagnostic tool, but it may help your doctor diagnose or monitor the progress of an inflammatory disease.
When your blood is placed in a tall, thin tube, red blood cells (erythrocytes) gradually settle to the bottom. Inflammation can cause the cells to clump together. Because these clumps of cells are denser than individual cells, they settle to the bottom more quickly.
The sed rate test measures the distance red blood cells fall in a test tube in one hour. The farther the red blood cells have descended, the greater the inflammatory response of your immune system.
A stem cell transplant — also called a blood or marrow transplant — is the injection or infusion of healthy stem cells into your body to replace damaged or diseased stem cells.
A stem cell transplant may be necessary if your bone marrow stops working and doesn't produce enough healthy stem cells.
This procedure also may be performed if high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given in the treatment of blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma or sickle cell anemia.
A stem cell transplant can help your body make enough healthy white blood cells, red blood cells or platelets, and reduce your risk of life-threatening infections, anemia and bleeding.
Although the procedure to replenish your body's supply of healthy blood-forming cells is generally called a stem cell transplant, it's also known as a bone marrow transplant, peripheral blood stem cell transplant or an umbilical cord blood transplant, depending on the source of the stem cells.
Stem cell transplants can use cells from your own body (autologous stem cell transplant), from a donor (allogeneic stem cell transplant) or from an identical twin (syngeneic transplant).

People need to keep their mouth shut in this situation....
media is going to have a field day with this ( GUN OWNERS )at our expense.
"Science" means "the results are the same no matter who performs the observation." Psychology and sociology (other than statistical analysis of group actions) are not sciences. "Discipline", sure, but not science.
I assure you that if you took intro to psychology in college that you barely scratched the surface of what psychologists have done regarding research. Statistics are an important part of psychological research because there is variance in the response of individuals due to a host of biological, sociological, and psychological factors. Just as all people don't metabolize medications at the same rate because they are different, people also have different reactions to stimuli as well due to the same factors that can effect physiological systems.
If you hold biology to the same standard as psychology, you would have to say that biology is no more of a science because the phenomenon is not reliable in organisms. LD50, the amount of a drug that will kill half of the population taking it... why doesn't it kill everyone? Individual differences, some of which can't be elucidated because we simply don't have the technology to determine the difference.
I agree with BigAl: Opening your mouth will only hurt your case. You have everything to lose.
Fucking nosey people need to kill themselves too. I hate fucking assholes who always are so curious as to who you are, and what you are doing.
Tear gas grenades probably require a permit in those kinds of states.Gregory D. Girard, 45, was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly storing several tear gas grenades and explosive pepper ball projectiles. He was also charged with the illegal possession of four police batons.
"Pepper ball projectiles" sound to me like an AP round for something... bear deterrent shotshells?
If it were 37mm anti-riot projectiles then it requires DD registration. And I'll bet police batons do require some sort of local registration in those urban areas! But it sounds like a local case unless those rounds were 37mm stuff.
Curious on what are the charges they'll try to pin on him - sounds like they don't have much really. Strange case and really sad.

City considers expanding downtown construction and renovation incentives
EL PASO, Texas - (Nov. 2012 story)
The City Development Department is looking into extending more tax rebates and fee waivers to development projects in Downtown El Paso.
The "Downtown Sustainable City Centers Incentive" has been in place for a month, said City Development Director Mathew McElroy.
On Tuesday City Council voted to explore expanding the downtown "level one incentive area," which is currently bound within a three-block radus around San Jacinto Plaza.
A "level two incentive area" spans almost seven blocks south and east of the "level one" boundary.
The "Downtown Sustainable City Centers Incentive" allows for an eligible project within the "level one" area to reap a 100-percent rebate on the City's portion of property taxes, for ten years, whereas the "level two" benefit extends just five years.
The incentive also provides a rebate on the City's portion of sales taxes from ground floor retail operations.
A "level one" area project has access to a 100-percent rebate for ten years. A "level two" area project is granted a 50-percent rebate for five years.
Due to the passage of the quality of life bond in the Nov. 6 election, the city council tasked the development department with reevaluating the "level one" zone to possibly stretch beyond its three-block radius surrounding San Jacinto Plaza.
"Why not a three mile radius?" countered City Representative Emma Accosta during Tuesday Council meeting.
McElroy said the Development Dept. is considering expanding the "level one" zone to reflect the growth surrounding landmark projects planned for the downtown area like the baseball stadium and trolley corridor.
The incentives also include a 100-percent waiver of certain planning and building construction fees and a 100-percent rebate for the City's portion of sales tax used on materials and labor for both "level one" and "level two" zones.
According to the city development deparment, the "Downtown Sustainable City Centers Incentive" will end September 1, 2014.

Reviews of this property
We loved our stay in Nicola's apartment. It had everything that we needed. Very spacious and warm too. The train station wasn't very far away and shops were walking distance. Nicola was very helpful too he is very easy to deal with. This has been one of the nicer apartments we have stayed in on our our travels. Everyone was happy.
Really nice, spaceous and light apartment. Close to the Metro, super markets (we used the one at Via Antonio Bazzini), restaurants, gelaterias etc. Parking easy to find right outside of the apartment for only 4€ per day. Very good and new kitchen and bathrooms. Great that there is a washing machine and ironing possibilities. Our family of 5 had everything we needed here. As it was really hot the days we spent in Milan, a couple of fans or an AC would have ben great.
Perfect accomandation for a trip to Milan. Apartment is spacious, bright, clean, quiet and (relatively) close to the next metro station. Owners are very nice; Check-in and Check-out was uncomplicated.
Very nice, quiet and clean, perfectly furnished apartment, metro, bus and tram in the immediate area, center and other attractions within easy reach. Friendly welcome and helpful recommendations by owners.

We really enjoyed the cozy apartment of Nicola. We felt right at home. The three girls of 16,18 and 19 years. They also enjoyed the jacuzzi in their own bathroom. Glad there were two small balconies where you could drink a cup of espresso in the sun. Equally The apartment is in a very quiet, pretty street and breathes a typical Italian atmosphere. Nicola has given us good information and was very helpful, accurate and flexible. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, soft drinks and chips and got good information about the use of the apartment. In short, highly recommended this apartment!

Fijn dat er 2 kleine balkonnetjes waren, waar je even een kopje espresso kon drinken in de zon. Het appartement zit in een hele rustige, mooie straat en ademt een typisch Italiaanse sfeer uit. Nicola heeft ons goeie informatie gegeven en was heel behulpzaam, accuraat en flexibel.
We werden welkom geheten met een fles wijn, fris en chips en kregen goeie uitleg over het gebruik van het appartement.
Kortom, een echte aanrader dit appartement!

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:40 pm on December 20, 2010 by Allahpundit
"Advocates are advising military gays to stay in the closet for now, as the Pentagon begins months of scene-setting to make sure removing the ban does not hurt combat readiness.
"Once President Obama signs the gay-ban repeal, passed by Congress last week, it will trigger a new phase that will see the Pentagon dictate to commanders how to prepare troops for the historic social change…
"'The bottom line, for now, gay, lesbian and bisexual service members must remain cautiously closeted,' said Trevor Thomas, spokesman for Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a leader in the campaign to end the ban. 'Even with this historic vote, service members must continue to serve in silence until repeal is final.'"
"As gay people around the country reveled on Sunday in the historic Senate vote to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell,' a liberal media watchdog group said it planned to announce on Monday that it was setting up a "communications war room for gay equality" in an effort to win the movement's next and biggest battle: for a right to same-sex marriage.
"The new group, Equality Matters, grew out of Media Matters, an organization backed by wealthy liberal donors — including prominent gay philanthropists — that has staked its claim in Washington punditry with aggressive attacks on Fox News and conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck…
"For the gay rights movement, the right to marry is the holy grail, because so many other benefits — including Social Security and health benefits for gay partners, adoption rights, tax benefits and others — flow from it…
"I think the lesson we have learned over the last two years is that you've got to be tough,' Mr. Mixner said, 'and you've got to keep people's feet to the fire.'"
Polls show the public is broadly supportive of equal rights for gay men and lesbians on several issues — with the exception of the right to marry. The vast majority of Americans, nearly 90 percent, favor equality of opportunity in the workplace. More than 60 percent favored overturning 'don't ask, don't tell' — a figure that has stood steady at least since 2005, according to the Gallup Organization, which tracks public sentiment on gay rights…
"'There have been enormous and important shifts in public attitudes, and those are a hopeful sign,' said Tobias B. Wolff, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania who advises the Obama White House on gay rights issues. But Mr. Wolff speaks of a 'political gay panic,' saying, 'Even when the public is so strongly behind equality, so strongly behind the right thing, politicians are hyper-cautious.'…
"Conservatives are dismayed.
"'The other side is winning the war on words and the rhetoric,' said Tom McClusky, senior vice president of Family Research Council Action, the legislative arm of the conservative advocacy group. 'Generationally, this is an uphill battle for us, and we realize that.'"
"As President Obama and his speechwriters prepare for his upcoming State of the Union address, here's a modest suggestion:
"When you take the victory lap you are entitled to for ending the prohibition on gays serving openly in the military, follow up with a call to end the remaining discrimination faced by members of our military—the second-class status of Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) cadets on some of our leading college campuses…
"Jimmy LaSalvia, executive director of the gay conservative organization GOProud, puts it this way: 'Throughout the debate over Don't Ask, Don't Tell, advocates of repeal like President Obama often and rightfully pointed out that repeal was in the best interest of our military and our national security. If President Obama and liberals in Congress are serious about a commitment to ending policies that damage our military, now is the time for them to ensure that ROTC is welcomed back to campus—and that its cadets enjoy all the rights and privileges of any other student organization.'"

|The lowly hiker's route from the bottom of Yosemite Falls, made much more interesting by full snow coverage above the falls. Thanks to my maps and GPS we made it. Based on lack of boot/snowshoe tracks, we were probably some of the first hikers of the season. A fun, hard day made more interesting by all the snow.

|Summer, 2006. As a former trad climber, I'm half embarrassed to sign in a visit on this legendary rock by way of the 17-mile round-trip hoof from Tamarack. But I'd always wanted to gaze from the top and just never got around to it back in the day. It was a glorious walk with the gf just the same, a sweaty good time in temps 90-100. My hat's off to all who stand on top, by way of the wall.

|Various routes climbed: been too long
|1983: Zodiac. I was a nineteen year old punk and dragged my 17 year old buddy with me. Litte did I know our other buddies were betting him cams that we'd bail, which he only confessed to me halfway up. Lots of hard thin nailing back then. Everything else I've done since has felt easy in comparison. By far my biggest breakthrough in terms of what I could achieve, both as a climber and in life.
1991: The Shield. What can you say? It's the Shield.
1992: West Face. A long day. Awesome to be able to look up from the base and hope you're going to be able to cover that much ground in a day (actually, for us, a little over a day).
1995: Pacific Ocean Wall. Great route. A few tricky sections but not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Having grown up reading Greg Child's account in Mountain magazine about the second ascent, it felt awesome to climb such a historic route.
Bailed more times than I can count: three times off the Nose (twice because of people poaching our lines, once after getting rained on in the Stovelegs), snowed off of Lurking Fear and stormed off from the top of pitch 5 of Mescalito.

New Year = New You. Right?
Before you go setting unrealistic or ineffective resolutions, take some time to rethink the approaches you'll be taking this year to become a healthier, happier you.
Revolutionize your resolutions and allow yourself to truly transform in 2012! Here's how:
Meet Your Fitness Resolutions
Meet Your Nutrition Resolutions
Revolutionized Fitness Resolution
Learn more about how you can maximize your cardio workout in this video.
Watch it on YouTube
TOSS: Vowing to do more cardio to lose weight.
TRY: Redesigning your cardio routine, and vary your approach to exercise.
If your resolution is to include more heart-pumping cardio into your workout routine, avoid the temptation to simply hop on your favorite piece of cardio equipment for the same amount of time — and at the same pace — as you've been doing week after week, year after year.
Instead opt to maximize your cardio sessions by incorporating high-intensity interval training (or HIIT) into your program one or two days per week. HITT consists of short bursts of high-intensity activity combined with a period of active recovery.
Research shows that this style of training allows the body to utilize the anaerobic energy system more efficiently, and also helps remove metabolic waste from the muscles between intervals effectively. It also enables exercisers to increase their VO2 max without increasing cardio duration.
DO IT TODAY: While there's no one single way to structure a HIIT session, here's an example of a training protocol you can try today to get a feel for this type of training.
HIIT can be done with just about any mode of cardiorespiratory training — from running to cycling to swimming. When it comes to intensity, the high-intensity intervals should be performed at an exertion level of 7 or higher (on a scale of 0-10), and are typically performed for anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes. The active recovery intervals are performed at a moderate intensity of around a 5 on the same 0-10 scale.
Alternating these intervals in a 1:2 ratio (for example, one minute of high-intensity activity followed by two minutes of active recovery) helps to ensure that an adequate length recovery interval is taken — this is where many of the benefits of this type of training occur.
In addition to interval training, consider varying your approach to cardio by trying out some fun-filled cardio-based group fitness classes this year, such as Zumba®, TurboKick®, or Spinning®. Also, keep in mind that resistance training is an important factor with regards to losing weight, improving resting metabolic rate, increasing lean muscle mass and decreasing body fat percentage.
Revolutionized Nutrition Resolution
Learn more on how to make your carbs work for you — and your workout — in this video.
TOSS: Cutting out carbs.
TRY: Using your carbs wisely by focusing on nutrient timing.
The reality is that carbohydrates are needed for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise, as the body uses muscle glycogen as a primary fuel source during exercise. So while it may be tempting to swear off carbs altogether, keep in mind that a depletion of muscle glycogen results in reduced force production and muscles weakness — not exactly the ideal conditions for having an effective workout (or the energy to continue to work out on a regular basis).
Instead, vow to use carbs more wisely! Growing research in the area of nutrient timing shows just how effective carbohydrates can be in terms of proper fueling and refueling before, during and after exercise:
Phase 1 (the 'Energy Phase'): This phase occurs before and during a workout, and is designed to increase nutrient delivery to muscles — sparing glycogen and protein loss, minimizing muscle damage and nutritionally preparing the body for recovery. Believe it or not, proper fueling in this phase actually stimulates protein synthesis and aids in the rate of muscle recovery post-exercise.
Phase 2 (the 'Anabolic Phase'): This phase is typically defined as within 45 minutes to an hour post-exercise, which is when nutrients are most needed in order to make gains in terms of muscular strength and endurance. Research has shown that consuming carbohydrates within this first hour helps increase protein synthesis and replenish glycogen stores that provide the body with what it needs for recovery.
Phase 3 (the 'Growth Phase'): This phase is defined as the remainder of the day, and is all about muscle strengthening, repairing and growth. In fact, consuming a mix of proteins and carbohydrates within 3 hours post-exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on stimulating protein synthesis.
DO IT TODAY: So how can you translate the science into practical tips you can follow at home? For the average exerciser (working out for about 60 minutes or less), about an hour or so before a workout, aim to consume a combination of easily digested carbohydrates along with protein in roughly a 4:1 ratio.
Need snack ideas? Try low-fat yogurt with a sliced banana or perhaps low-fat string cheese with a serving of whole-grain crackers.
Within an hour after your workout, aim to consume roughly a 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein. Examples of post-workout snacks can include a cup of cooked oatmeal with ¼ cup of raisins, two slices of whole grain toast with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or an energy bar and a sports drink.
For the remainder of the day (especially within 4 hours of exercise), focus on enjoying a mix of complex carbohydrates and healthy proteins in roughly a 1:5 ratio — tuna and a small whole wheat pita, or grilled chicken with a small serving of brown rice and vegetables.
So what are you waiting for? Make this year your best year and set yourself up for success by revitalizing your approach to your health, fitness and nutrition. Your body will thank you!
Have specific goals for 2012? Consider enlisting the expert guidance of a personal trainer or registered dietitian who can help you on your health and fitness journey.

Undercover deputy talks about Carter County drug sting
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - Straight from the silver screen to East Tennessee -- a Carter County deputy went undercover as a high school student as part of a drug sting called "Operation Jump Street."
Deputy Donna Rogan said she's revealing her identity because she is an officer of the law, not an informant, and this operation was just part of her job.
Ten months ago, the 22-year-old announced on Facebook she was moving to Carter County and starting high school. But she wasn't going to class as Donna Rogan; she was posing as 17-year-old Hannah Regan. "I didn't care for it too much the first time around, so when they asked me to go back to high school, I wasn't that thrilled at first," she said.
Rogan started as a reserve deputy March 2012. While still in the academy, she began her undercover assignment. "The lingo these teens use now is completely different," she said while talking about her research to prepare for the investigation. "I had to ask my younger brother questions and Google the acronyms and slang."
Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes said at a press conference on Monday, they started "Operation Jump Street" after the department got complaints from the community about drug activity in the schools. "[Students] approached me right off the bat," Rogan said. "I wasn't in the school for 30 minutes before people started asking me if I liked to get high."
As a result of the investigation, 14 people were arrested, including nine students and five adults. "I knew these kids needed help and need somebody to intervene and do something," said Rogan. Click here to read more about the arrests.
Becoming someone else for a year was harder than she thought it would be. "I just wanted to sometimes stop and grab them and tell them, 'Look at what you're doing! You can't see it now, but there's a better way,'" she said.
Rogan said she kept her cover to help the students that did become her friends over the year. "That's what helped me to push forward and continue with the investigation, even when it was emotionally hard for me personally," she said.
Rogan's mother is actually an acting coach, which she says helped her with the assignment.
She said she doesn't plan on going undercover for a while and looks forward to continuing her work with the drug unit at the sheriff's department.

The 49rs have been beaten by Minnesota... I don't think it will be a blow out; we may not win but our WR's match up very well against their DBs. If Eli can get a little protection they will get their points.
Even though this guy is a troll lets see...The 9ers beat the packers who stink this year and they lost to the vikings who lost to the colts, colts beat the packers also which is another reason why they stink. The teams the 9ers beat have a total record of 7-12, the 9ers lost to the vikings which beat teams with a combined record of 7-12. If you exclude the win over the 9ers, the vikings beat teams with a combined record of 3-11.
Now am I saying that the 49ers stink no, but what I am saying is I don't get where all this hype is coming from. The 9ers have only played one team who has a good QB this year which is Rodgers, who is not even playing that great due to his O-line. BTW I am not saying the giants are any better off, since we beat nobody also. But here is the thing, at the end of the day we have ELI and the 9ers don't. So till proven otherwise, we're still the SB champs and on our way to repeat.
The 9ers are a good team but as long as we are looking at opponents the teams have played the teams they have beaten are 5-12 combined record. If we aren't as good because of the teams we beat the same should be said about them. Also our d hasn't played well and yes we are giving the opposing qb a lot of time but its not like we got our doors blown off by anybody. The two games we have lost we for a combined 9 points, the viks blew the doors off the 9ers. I saw that game and the Vikings pushed them around, beat them at there own game. THATS WHY YOU PLAY THE GAMES, let see what happens come Sunday, I for one and glad this rivalry has been revived reminds me of the 80's.
Remember you are playing the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS !
As long as the Giants can cut down on big plays (Smith to Davis / Moss), Eli should give them a chance to win the game. But they can't put themselves in a position to have to come back from a big deficit. Keep it close (3-7 points are acceptable) and let Manning win it in the 4th quarter.
This is the game our D-Line wakes up, go take your sulky opinion elsewhere. The 9ers are beatable and we can beat anyone, we've proved it enough that every one of our fans should know that. Oh yeah, one more thought.....We have Eli Manning.

This Morning: Intel's Alpha, Apple Supply Issues? More FB Praise
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Intel (INTC) are up 64 cents, or 2.8%, at $23.27, a stand-out gainer, after Mark Lipacis of Jefferies & Co. this morning raised his rating on the shares to Buy from Hold, and raised his price target to $30 from $27, following three days of presentations by the company at its IDF developer conference in San Francisco. Lipacis writes that the stock "represents one of the best alpha generation opportunities in semis" given it is finally focusing on its low-power "Atom" line of mobile chips, and given the Street doesn't think Intel can compete at all with chips based on ARM Holdings (ARMH) technology.
"Intel's "tri-gate" transistor gives it a huge lead today, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear it announce a materials advancement which furthers its lead in the near future," he writes.
"We expect this leadership to manifest in share gains in tablets and 2-in-1 PCs today, and handsets in 1.5-3 years."
Meanwhile, shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $4.34, or 0.9%, at $468.35, after Lipacis's colleague Peter Misek cut his price target on the stock to $425 from $450, writing that there may be supply constraints in the manufacture of the iPhone 5S, introduced at Apple's Tuesday media event.
Writes Misek, who has a Hold rating on Apple shares, "Our checks indicate that the fingerprint sensor yields have been terrible and are the likely culprit for the H2 build plan cuts."
The Street is preparing for the initial public offering of Twitter, after the social networking and micro-blogging site last night said it had filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission a limited IPO registration document that allowed it not to disclose any of its financials publicly.
An article by CNBC's Eli Langer this morning quotes researcher eMarketer as saying the company is on track for $582.8 million in ad revenue this year. I have heard from another source $500 million this year, double $250 million last year.
Meanwhile Twitter's main competitor, Facebook (FB), continues to receive praise from the Street following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's appearance at a conference Tuesday.
RBC Capital's Mark Mahaney this morning reiterates an Outperform rating and raises his price target to $52 from $40, writing that a survey he conducted in conjunction with Ad Age of marketing professional's suggests most plan to increase spending with Facebook in the coming 12 months.
Facebook shares today are down 68 cents, or 1.5%, at $44.07.
MKM Partners's Israel Hernandez reiterates a Neutral rating on shares of Microsoft (MSFT) this morning, and a $28 price target, raising the curtain on the company's annual analyst meeting in Bellevue, Washington. Hernandez doesn't expect a lot of information on who will replace CEO Steve Ballmer, though he thinks the process is "rapidly progressing" and will be looking for clues as to who it might end up being.
He's also expecting Microsoft to raise the quarterly dividend 3 cents to 26 cents per share. And he expects Microsoft may authorize another five-year, $50 billion buyback program.
Microsoft shares are down 2 cents at $32.67.

|Davis plans on attacking the Kingdom
|04.28.10 at 12:31 am ET
Glen Davis was speaking for the Celtics when he characterized the match-up with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers starting this Saturday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
"It's going to be tougher, we know that," Davis said. "We've got to go there and grind it out. We go to them first. We just have to make sure we go there with the mentality of attack first. It's just like in every kingdom, sometimes you've got to go to the fight, you've got to bring it to them, attack their fortress and bust down their wall with a wooden tree and go attack it. That's how it is."
Davis and the Celtics will have Wednesday off before returning to practice Thursday afternoon. Game 1 is Saturday while Game 2 will be Monday in Cleveland before the series shifts back to Boston for Games 3 and 4.
While Dwyane Wade had another big game with 31 points in Game 5 Tuesday night, it was Davis who helped keep the rest of the Miami starters in single digits.
'Our defensive presence was just there," Davis said. "Game 4 we kind of backed off of that a little bit and D-Wade had a big game, some of the other players on their team. One of the reasons we closed this out is because of defense and kind of [containing] people round D-Wade."
Davis said the five-game series against Wade and the Heat might just be the perfect tune-up for James and the Cavs beginning Saturday on the shores of Lake Erie.
"It's just great practice for us against Cleveland," Davis said. "We had good practices. D-Wade is a great player. LeBron's a great player and he has good players around him and he makes them better. We have to stop the ones around him.
'We could do better," Davis added. "We're a better team, we've been together for a long time and we still make some of the same mistakes. We can always be better.'
Starting Saturday, Davis and the Celtics have little choice if they plan on advancing.

Apr 27, 2013 at 4:09 am #1302246
Hi Guys,
Normally, I'm shaving ounces. However, my summer plans have me pseudo-homeless (by choice) and I need a tent to live out of for 3 months. My hammock is great, but I can't live in it.
I'm thinking about a $200, sub 5lb tent that would work for backpacking with a friend or girlfriend. Any suggestions?
Looking for these characteristics:
-Best Ventilated
-Completely Rainproof
-Sub 5lb
-Not Grey
-Under $250
Thanks for the suggestions! Right now, my top choice is the Big Agnes Lone Spring 2.Apr 27, 2013 at 4:25 am #1980980

@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
Pick up a used Hubba Hubba. (I won't be selling mine!)
I have used mine when I go with my daughter or wife w/great comfort and performance. Great vertical space is it's biggest plus IMO.Apr 27, 2013 at 6:09 am #1980992
Thanks Todd!Apr 27, 2013 at 6:38 am #1980999

They have a few tents which should meet your requirements and budget as well.
I'm not sure what the weight is but this one is for the budget minded at $67:
I believe their Zephyr tents are under 5lbs.Apr 27, 2013 at 6:51 am #1981001

@alpinistooutdoorsLocale: Catalinas, Saguaro, Grand Canyon
Just wanted to say that I've used the Lone Spring 1 on two separate trips now. The company I work for has them for our clients but I've been using one on a few trips just out of curiosity. Obviously they aren't light, especially for the one person version I've been using but I have to say my critique of the tent stops there. It's basically a heavier and tougher Copper Spur. Similar hubbed pole design with one cross bar to spread the roof apart nicely. Super easy to set up, fly attaches quickly and easily, plenty of guy out points on the tent, and super roomy (again I'm referring to the one many version). I've spent about 8 nights in one so far and have enjoyed. I'm already carrying a ridiculous amount of weight on these work trips so the extra lbs weren't of high concern to me. But yeah seems like a solid tent to me.Apr 27, 2013 at 12:59 pm #1981082
Michael DukeMember
Are moving it, or is it stationary? What exactly does pseudo-homeless entail?Apr 27, 2013 at 3:24 pm #1981115
I found a new Marmot Aura 2P for $200, which is in my price range, but the tent is worth $360. It's such a good deal, I pulled the trigger before the 1 in stock disappeared. However, if it's no bueno I'll return it for something suggested in the thread.
It might just be "the" tent though, since it's sub-5lbs and has some rather unique poles with two entrances. plenty big enough for my 6'2" height, too. I don't want to dismiss other ideas until I've taken it out for a night. I think the suggested Hubba Hubba looks more stormproof, but the REI Quarter Dome 2P uses essentially the same system and it hasn't been called out as unstable. Will test.
Pseudo-homeless: We have a yoga commune moving into my family's house, which means the room/apartment I live in is gone for the summer. Since I have to stick around to finish my second degree, I've got to live in the tent in the backyard 3 days out of the week. The other four, I get to head to the beach and work from the coast of Mass, but since the beach house is small, I'll probably still use the tent out of privacy. Also, the girlfriend wants to share for those weekends on the coast.
So, it needs to be livable. One big air mattress and some light blankets, some books, my bag and some clothes. A little less when I'm sharing it. Since it's summertime, it's gotta be well ventilated.
Final caveat: I always like the option to hike. Under 5lbs means I can always take it with me when I don't want to use my hammock; my backpacks can handle that extra luxury weight, though I wouldn't take it on serious hikes.
I realize more ventilation means it's worse in the winter, but if I have to sacrifice one way, I choose ventilation.Apr 27, 2013 at 6:16 pm #1981170
Kelty Salida 2? I've seen them for as little as 130 or so before. Good tent for the price and while not UL, lower weight than a lot of other big box freestanding tents.Apr 27, 2013 at 10:01 pm #1981210

Hi Max, interesting project :-)
Too bad you want self standing, otherwise you could consider something like a big tipi or a pyramid tent. That could be more liveable. Just thinking.
CheersApr 28, 2013 at 9:15 am #1981272
Tipi's are nice (i have one), but i don't think they fall under his request of "Best Ventilated" even with a screened door, the storm door fully open, and peak vent open.Apr 28, 2013 at 9:19 am #1981274
I'm just curious Max, what's with the "not grey" specification?Apr 28, 2013 at 9:52 am #1981280
Jennifer MitolBPL Member
@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
I used an REI quarter dome 2 for a number of years and frankly, other than the weight and bulk I really, really liked that tent. Inexpensive, roomy, great vestibule space, can comfortably fit 2 and for 1 it's a palace.
Just sayin'Apr 28, 2013 at 9:56 am #1981282
Michael DukeMember
Honestly, I think you'd be better off getting a massive, cheap WalMart tent and a dedicated backpacking tent. You'd have much more room with the WalMart tent and then carry much less weight if desired when backpacking.Apr 28, 2013 at 1:04 pm #1981332
Dena KelleyBPL Member
@eagleriverdeeLocale: Eagle River, Alaska
I second Michael Duke's comment. Get an inexpensive, roomy car camping tent for living in the yard. You will swiftly tire of not being able to stand up in a backpacking tent after living in it a few days and of just generally not having a lot of space. Frankly in your situation I'd also get either a really big comfortable car camping air mattress or a cot. There's no need to go UL when using your gear as a home that you don't have to carry on your back. I've done that before and won't do it again. If I ever have to do it again, I'm investing in a full on canvas tent with a wood stove. Seriously.Apr 28, 2013 at 3:03 pm #1981363
Franco DarioliBPL Member
@francoLocale: Tarptent
I was going to post along the lines of Michael and Dena too.
Trying to do it with one tent you end up with a small camping tent and a heavy one for backpacking .Apr 28, 2013 at 3:49 pm #1981369
Gary DunckelBPL Member
@zia-grill-guyLocale: Boulder
I agree that a bigger tent would be better for your "yard camping" stint. Maybe try to score an REI Base Camp 6 at their next garage sale? Plenty of room for a cot, and even a desk and an easy chair if you like. You can stand up in it! It'll make you feel like Hemingway in Africa…
And it's too bad you don't like gray. That orange Marmot Aura will attract the bugs far more than a gray tent would (mine does). But you will easily be able to find your Aura in a thick forest at twilight, unlike a Tarptent.Apr 28, 2013 at 4:15 pm #1981376

@stephen-mLocale: Way up North
A decent car camping tent is a good investment as crappy ones can be awkward to pitch and handle wind poorly.
I would highty recommend any of Marmots big tents, I have the Halo 4p and my wife calls it "Chateau Marmot"Apr 28, 2013 at 6:30 pm #1981402
Peter SBPL Member
@prseLocale: Denmark
Justin: I agree regarding the ventilation I just can't see another option if I wanted something that I could live in and I would bother to carry when backpacking. If money weren't an option, I would get someone like Bearpaw custom make a big cuben pyramid with two openings, screened doors, perimeter netting, and extra side panel tieouts.
Max: sorry for thread-drift-dreaming…I know you made your thorough specification list to avoid this ;-)

Reviews for this host's other properties
Perfect location, amazing flat, very modern and perfectly clean and very good Air conditioning.
Unfortunately, the apartment was not as clean as we would have liked, especially the kitchen cabinets showed heavy contamination. The equipment was not as angegeben.Kaffeemaschine and hair were not available.The phone contact, either on German moch on Polish side were accessible. The beds were badly worn, the saggy mattress, the bedding consisted of one material, as used in hospitals. I advise against booking this apartment, for it is just too expensive.
Leider war die Wohnung nicht so sauber, wie wir es uns gewünscht hätten, insbesondere die Küchenschränke zeigten starke Verschmutzungen. Die Ausstattung war nicht so wie angegeben.Kaffeemaschine und Föhn waren nicht vorhanden.Der Telefonkontakt,weder auf Deutscher moch auf Polnischer Seite, waren erreichbar.
Die Betten waren arg abgenutzt, die Matratzen durchgelegen, die Decken und Kissen bestanden aus Einmalmaterial, wie es in Krankenhäusern verwendet wird.
Ich rate von der Buchung dieser Wohnung ab, dafür ist sie einfach zu teuer.
The apartment was exactly as described: modern, sleek, clean and very centrally located - the keys perfectly - unfortunately our neighbors were very loud at 4 clock in the morning (and the apartment very noisy) - we were very satisfied!
Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben: modern, schick, sauber und sehr zentral gelegen - die Schlüsselübergabe perfekt - leider waren unsere Nachbarn um 4 Uhr morgens sehr laut (und die Wohnung sehr hellhörig) - wir waren sehr zufrieden!
short distance to the old town, pleasant rooms with historic flair, kl. balcony with views over the suburb roofs, daily market activity just around the corner, so far everything is great, but difficult lighting conditions (extremely dark energy-saving lamps, only 1nachttischlampe for 4 beds), 1 double bed single beds from 2, which ultimately remain standing with distance and a very broad ritz have. 1 bed something is broken ...
kurze entfernung zur altstadt, angenehme räume mit historischem flair, kl. balkon mit blick über die Vorstadtdächer, tägliches Markttreiben gleich um die Ecke, soweit alles prima, allerdings schwierige beleuchtungsverhältnisse ( extrem dunkle energiesparlampen, nur 1nachttischlampe für 4 betten), 1 doppelbett besteht aus 2 einzelbetten, die letztlich mit abstand stehen bleiben und einen sehr breiten ritz aufweisen. 1 bett ist etwas defekt...
Great location and easy to toaccess and quiet area. Clean and tidy place. The only negative was that the quilts were to thin for the weather. Otherwise highly reccomendable. Claus from Denmark
Very nice location in Krakow.
We did not get the impression this apartment as we had ordered, and that there had been a system failure at one or another level. We were incorrectly registered in another apartment, despite the fact that I had received confirmation that everything was in order by e-mail. This second apartment was of a different caliber, a very bad exchange. We complained and were offered another apartment 15 minutes outside the city, which was of no interest to us.
Vi fikk ikke inntrykk av denne leiligheten som vi hadde bestilt, i og med at det hadde skjedd en systemsvikt på et eller et annet nivå. Vi var feilregistrert på en annen leilighet, på tross av at jeg hadde fått bekreftelse på at alt var i orden per e-post. Denne andre leiligheten var av et helt annet kaliber, et svært dårlig bytte. Vi klagde og fikk tilbud om en annen leilighet 15 min utenfor sentrum, som var uaktuell for oss.
Perfect location, good size and spotless service. Highly recommended.
Excellent value
Lovely large apartment, right in the center. Directly from the door, the bustling (even at night!) Square.
Heerlijk groot appartement, midden in de binnenstad. Direct uit de deur, het bruisende (ook 's nachts!) plein op.
Nice apartment, brand new, 5 minutes walking to the Old Town, comfortable, very clean, spacious and quite, Host super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this apartment to everyone going to Krakow.

Water Issues Haven't Worried Some Wine Grape Growers
Weather is similar to other regions where top grapes are produced
Buellton, Calif. - Some wine grape growers might be able to get through the drought better than other farmers.
When the weather goes dry and the rainfall tapers off, the Santa Barbara County region can resemble other areas where world class grapes are grown.
At the Vintners' Festival last week in buellton, winemakers were not showing worried faces when asked about the weather, at least for now.
Longtime winemaker Andrew Murray said, for him, the weather still works well enough to create his favorite blends. "It's a coastal desert that's what makes this place a great place to grow and make good wine," said Murray. "Especially the Rhone variety. It's just like the Rhone valley. I'm OK with it."
In San Luis Obispo County, water shortages in the Paso Robles wine region has become a big concern with many wells showing signs of a shortage. Some residents believe the growth of the wine industry has contributed to the increased usage, at a time when the rainfall is only about 40 percent of normal.
Water management issues have been in the forefront of discussions between many groups including farmers, and county leaders.
The wineries throughout the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria Valley's have received international acclaim for the products produced over the last four decades.
Wine grapes are ranked number three on the Santa Barbara County 2012 Agricultural Report with gross production of $91-million.

Treatment trials test investigational therapies, new medication combinations,
and new surgical or radiation therapy methods.
Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the
disease or to prevent a disease from returning. These approaches may include medicines, vaccines,
vitamins, minerals, or lifestyle changes.
Diagnostic trials are performed to find better tests or procedures for detecting and diagnosing a particular disease or condition.
Screening trials examine the best way to identify certain diseases or health conditions.
Quality of Life trials investigate method to improve the wellbeing and the
quality of life for individuals with a chronic illness.
During Phase I studies, a study team gives the treatment to a small number of
volunteers and examines its action in the body, its safety and its effects at
various doses. Phase 1 studies generally last only a few months.
If results show that the treatment appears safe, it will be tested in Phase
II and Phase III clinical studies. These studies involve larger numbers of
people over longer periods of time. In these studies, the study team wants
to know whether the treatment is safe and effective and what side effects it may have.
After these phases are complete and investigators are satisfied that the treatment is safe
and effective, the study team may submit its data to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
for approval. The FDA reviews the data and decides whether to approve the drug or treatment
for use in patients.
A Phase IV study is also known as a post marketing surveillance study. Phase IV studies involve
safety surveillance and continuing technical support of a drug after it receives permission
to be sold. Phase IV studies may be required by regulatory authorities or may be undertaken by
the sponsoring company for finding a new market for the drug or other reasons (such as
determining interactions with other drugs, or on testing it certain population groups). The safety
surveillance is designed to detect any rare or long-term adverse effects over a much larger
patient population and longer time period than was possible during the Phase I-III clinical

For the more information about the geologic resources of the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/.
Geologic Planning
The protection of National Park resources, including geologic features and processes is fundamental to maintaining the integrity of natural resources, ecosystems, and the quality of the visitor experience in parks. If not managed properly through adequate planning and implementation of projects, geologic features could be damaged or destroyed, and interference with geologic processes could adversely affect public health and safety, park infrastructure, and visitor uses.
Staff in the Geologic Resources Division assist parks, regions and networks with their planning efforts in many ways, including:
- project scoping to identify available data, geologic resource management issues, and impacts;
- inventorying and interpreting park geologic resources information (surficial and bedrock geology, and identification of geologic features and processes) in collaboration with other agencies, universities, and technical experts;
- assisting in the development of park-specific geologic plans such as paleontologic, and oil and gas management plans;
- developing solutions to park-specific geologic problems such as shoreline erosion, avoidance of geologic hazards, and restoration of parklands disturbed by activities such as mining, logging, oil and gas operations, and storm damage. GRD assistance includes site assessments, project design, and oversight;
- reviewing park planning documents such as General Management Plans, Foundation Documents, and implementation plans to assure they accurately describe geologic resources, depict potential impacts, and comply with NPS laws, regulations, and policies; and
- assisting park planners in finding geologic expertise (U.S. Geologic Survey, state geologic surveys, universities, and others) as appropriate.
