How to get my car to do a burnout
Ok, i wnat to do a burnout(ya ya I know) in my 1972 nova with a 250 and powerglide...cant seem to do it...(250 duh). Is dropping it from nuetral a bad idea? would it burnout? Would it wreck my PG? lol whats a way i can do a burnout? thx haha
yes ,bad idea, you will tear up trans, try a line lock on front wheels, need more h p
Dropping it from neutral will do a great job of spreading the interior parts of your transmission all over the street. Not to mention how stupid you'll look to all your buddies.
As has been mentioned a line loc will help. It applies the front brakes only and allows the rear tires to spin. Also, since you're down on horsepower try pumping your rear tires up to about 40-50 psi. That will lower your traction and allow the tires to spin easier.
Get a universal windshield squirter pump and mount it in your trunk. Run one tube through the fender well over the top of the tire. Fill a jug with antifreeze. Put a switch inside the car. When the time comes for a good burnout, flip the switch, soak the tire, roll forward a few feet then stand on it! Don't forget to turn off the pump when you're done. If antifreeze isn't slippery enough, try some thin oil!
i think antifreeze cost too much, get some skinny tires
Find a 350, they're all over the place. I actually saw one laying in the middle of the road once, fell out of the back of somebodys pickup. I had no way of picking it up or else it would have been mine. :D
I do have a 350. I also have a 400, which ill be using. I just wanted to have some fun before I pulled 250 out, see if it could do it... :D
This is how we used to do it way back when. First, find a piece of blacktop (less traction than concrete) where there's nobody around. Back up a little, maybe 10mph, then put it in Low & floor it. Or, go forward about 10mph, then put it in Revenge & floor it. But we only had skinny tires back then, maybe 6.50x14's, so we didn't have to strain anything too much to break them loose. You will likely learn the meaning of the term "wheel hop" or "axle tramp" either way.
Well hell if its fun you want, borrow a 200 shot set up and spray it.
Back in the day Nova Burnout!
Back around 1970 we were hanging around a local engine builder/racer's
shop oohing and aahing over a new set of sticky drag slicks. A kid with a
small block Nova said he could spin them. -It Was On!- We bolted the slicks
on his car. He backed her out into the street, matted the gas pedal and side
stepped the clutch. The rear axle rotated in it's mounts about 90 degrees
and the car never moved. I forget what the bet was but I doubt if he was
forced to pay up. :drunk:
Stupid Kid tricks
Back around 71 (man was it really that long ago :cool: ) I guy I was going to trade school with asked the same question. He had his dads car which was a 68/9 4 door Pontiac full size. After much discussion he and a few of his buddies decided the best way would be to take a can of wheel bearing grease and srpead a strip of grease in front of one rear tire (open rear end).
Well, a bunch of us went to watch the big burn out. I got to admit it was really impressive :thumbup: ............and then......the tire ran out of the grease, got traction and snapped the shaft on the rear end pinion.
At least he had a project when we got to the part of the course on setting up rear ends. Of course his dad wasn't real happy :spank: .
I say fallow "jimfulco" advise, put it in its lowest gear
and then floor it.......
If anything else fails i say, find the widest tree around your
neighborhood, Block your front wheels
and tie a chain from the tree to your chassis.............(j/k)... :D
Just get a bottle of bleach. Put some bleach under each tire. It's so slippery even a K car could burnout.
A guy at work was telling me he had a 69 chevelle with a 307 and power glide.He said to do burnouts,He would get on a country road with no one around.He would then pull over to the side of the road and hang one tire in the grass,dirt,gravel whatever was on the shoulder,brake torque the car and get the tire spinning like crazy and pull on the asphalt
HUH?,Good story.

Eeek!!! I'm 27 weeks today which, according to my apps means that I am in the 3rd trimester. Freaky. While it is normal to think I have 13 weeks left, I understand that sometimes, babies have different plans. I could give birth in 10 weeks! Or 8! That isn't an invitation, Baby D, to arrive early but I'm fully aware that I have no control over my labor starting, early or late.
Due to the unseasonable warm weather we are experiencing in Northern California (70 degrees through next week), my allergies have already started to arrive. I've had a horrible sinus headache and pain the last two days. Usually, I go through this and then my body adjusts and I feel fine but it is tough not being able to take good medication to stop the annoying pain.
In baby news, my apps say she is about 2 lbs and 16 inches long. I'm feeling her kicks more frequently throughout the day now which is really nice. She really gets going at night when I'm laying in bed. It isn't at the painful or annoying stage yet and I might be eating my words in a few weeks but I can't imagine being annoyed by her movement. It is magical, especially now that her kicks have become flips and turns. If I sit very still and place my hand on the side of my stomach, I can feel her entire body moving around. That part is a bit creepy! :)
Now that the dreamy 2nd trimester is over, I'm wondering what the 3rd will bring. My nausea didn't go away until week 16 but after that, I felt pretty incredible. I no longer gag while brushing my teeth. My fatigue at night still exists but being tired is just something that I'm learning to live with. My appetite is normal and I really hope my weight gain isn't out of control at my next appointment. I still haven't had any huge cravings or food aversions. I even started eating sweet potatoes roasted in the oven. For someone who hates all vegetables, this is a big step for me. I ate them 3 times last week!
As the weeks go by, I am starting to get really excited about what this kid is going to look like. If she will have hair that starts dark but turns blonde. What color her eyes will be. I can't wait to see her little facial expressions and to hear her cries. To know that this little person was created by us gets me very emotional. The next 13ish weeks are going to bring a lot of changes as we get closer to meeting our daughter. I can't wait to see how it all pans out.
As always, thanks for reading!

Pin-Up Grrrls: Feminism, Sexuality, Popular Culture
€ 110,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt

BeschreibungA visual history about how feminist artists have appropriated and incorporated the signification of the pin-up genre within their own work.
PortraitMaria Elena Buszek is Assistant Professor of Art History at the Kansas City Art Institute and a regular contributor to "Bust "magazine.
Pressestimmen"Pin-ups that women love? That they create? Yes! In her brilliantly vibrant debut book, Maria Elena Buszek gives a lucid, rich, and thorough account of a nineteenth- and twentieth-century history in which women employ the power of erotic imagery to celebrate themselves. From the writing to the reproductions, Pin-up Grrrls is eye-opening." Joanna Frueh, performance artist and author of Swooning Beauty: A Memoir of Pleasure Pin-Up Grrrls is a funny, sexy, political take on the pin-up. In this book, women flaunt their sexuality, use images of themselves to their own ends, and remake the pin-up genre in endlessly creative ways."--Susie Bright, author of Mommy's Little Girl: On Sex, Motherhood, Porn, and Cherry Pie "One brand of contemporary feminism casts women as external victims: all sex is rape, apparently, and all representations of female sexuality are merely for the delectation of men. Pin-Up Grrrls challenges this one dimensional view, showing how feminism and the pin-up--to some extent at least--walked hand in hand."--Times Literary Supplement, 3 November 2006

text: Gifted British jazz/folk saxophonist Paul Dunmall has been on a short 60th birthday tour this week, displaying the versatility that has brought him a Europe-wide reputation in both improv and structured settings. Weeping Idols is a quartet set in which Dunmall and regular guitar partner Phillip Gibbs enter uncharted waters alongside Loop Collective co-founder Mark Hanslip and Ohio guitarist Ed Ricart. Unsurprisingly, the mood is often fiercely squally and dissonant, but within its uncompromising parameters the session is fresh, resourceful, and full of its own sharp angles on lyricism. The 20-minute 4 Souls 8 Eyes opens as full-on free improv, with the two tenor saxes tussling amid a stream of brittle, Derek Bailey-like pluckings and rhythmic whirrings – but eventually it quietens to a glide, the saxes moving tonally closer, while the guitars glow and purr. Sometimes one sax vehemently honks while the other expectantly murmurs, and percussion sounds ping and pop against quiet, high-register whistles or zither-like notes. Better Than Words displays a surefootedly contrapuntal sax dialogue, and the title track is a wall of raw electric noise that finally stills for the sombre finale. It's the hard stuff, but classily blended.

ax question
a quick question about auto x. i was talkin to one of the local 2ners here and he was tellin me that if i do auto x anymore( i went once) that i would need to replace cv's, cv boots, shocks and maybe even axles. what the heck. is this true?? by the way the fastest time of the day was 36.somethin and my time was 42.2.
thanx guys
Um, no - not unless your car is needing them to begin with.
2ner? Do you mean tuner like he knows what he is talking about? Did he actually look at your car?
Out of that list, I could only see CV joints as getting higher wear from AX than regular street use, but you've got to realize this is, what, 6 runs at 45secs/run versus the daily wear and tear you would normally have.
I'd only believe him if all these parts are high-mileage on your car and he was recommending you replace them. If they need to be done, they need to be done whether you autocross again or not.
Let me guess - he'll be charging you for this [read]
Any extra wear on these parts would negligible/minimal at best. For a course lasting about 45 seconds, if you ran six times per event, you would have driven only 4.5 minutes per event. An average club might have 8 events per season. If you went to every event, you would have driven only 36 minutes on course for the entire year.
eventerke is right. Unless your car already has a lot of miles and these parts are already worn out, this local tuner doesn't know what he's talking about.
thanx guys thats what i thought. yes he(the 2ner) ownes a shop here. the parts listed only have 93000 kilometers on them. i no longer deal with him. i got screwed on my shocks. once again thanx for the help. oh ya i have fallen in love with auto x. cant wait till next season.
60K on the odometer.
Original inner and outer CV boots/joints.
Original rotors.
The tuner is WAAAAY out of his knowledge base.
I run a MINIMUM of 8 AX events every year and at LEAST 4-5 track events.
The focus is the most solid vehicle I've ever owned even with the hard driving that comes with AX and track use.
I ran my first time today, 168,000 miles on my axles, and they held up fine. I ran 62.1, ftd was in the 52's i think, and most rx8's were running 59's. So no I was not taking it easy. I was most worried about the axles, and then the tie rods, both of which will need replacing soon anyway regardless of autoxing...
i had put new oem rotors and pads on a month b4 the event and on the way home i had little to no brakes. so i need better ones. other than that all good, thanx for all the help guyz[ffrocks]
You may only need to bleed the lines.
^^ I agree. Sounds like you might need to bleed your brakes. If you have a lot of miles on the car, it would be a good idea to bleed out that old fluid/air and get some new stuff in there.
One event should not have affected your brakes in the way you described.
thanx guys ill try bleedin the lines when it gets warmer. i still wanna get new pads and rotors tho i was thinking ebc slotted and dimpled rotors w/red stuff pads. that should do the trick

This is a standard, but good, water-soluble cleanser for all skin types except very oily. The presence of a small amount of fragrant orange extract makes this iffy for extra-sensitive skin, but fragrance is less of an issue in a rinse-off product like this.
Replenix Fortified Cleanser does a decent job of removing makeup, but you'll need a separate makeup remover for long-wear or waterproof formulas.
As for the vitamins and green tea in this cleanser, they look good on the label, but their contact with the skin is too brief for them to offer much benefit. It's better to take advantage of such ingredients in leave-on products.
A rich, soap-free cleanser designed to gently cleanse and moisturize the skin without drying. This antioxidant formula contains a blend of liposomal Vitamins A, C, E and Green Tea, and White Tea in a combination with Coenzyme Q10.
Purified Water, Sorbitol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, White Tea, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Polyphenols, Soy Phospholipids, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Coenzyme Q10, Bisabolol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea.
Topix At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the products are fragrance-free; packaging keeps light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable during use; several good products with retinol in varying strengths; good moisturizers and cleansers; very good body lotions.
Weaknesses: Expensive; the physician allure may seem enticing, but these products do not require a doctor's visit or medical supervision; no AHA or BHA exfoliants; no viable skin-lightening options; fragrant toner; the growth factors in the Citrix serums are potentially risky ingredients.
Topix is best known for its two chief skin-care brands, Replenix and Citrix. Of the two, we're asked most often about the Replenix collection; the Citrix line is smaller and focused on anti-aging products with vitamin C. The Replenix products contain a broader range of anti-aging ingredients, such as retinol, green tea, and grape-derived resveratrol, and the claims are broader, too—so little surprise that the Replenix products appeal to more people concerned with signs of aging. Both Replenix and Citrix offer fragrance-free formulas, albeit at fairly high prices, which is typical of most physician-dispensed lines.
A chief selling point of Topix is its physician-dispensed angle, which gives the products a medical élan; in truth, however, not a single ingredient in these products is "medicinal," prescription, or exclusive to physician-sold products. That is, you don't need to see a doctor to be "prescribed" Topix products; rather, they can be obtained from several websites, no appointment necessary. The big question is whether or not you should add any Topix products to your shopping cart—and the answer is "it depends."
Within the Replenix line, the most interesting products include the serums and moisturizers. Although none of them are superior to the best options available, most of them do offer good (though pricey) formulas that treat skin to a range of beneficial ingredients.
If you're keen on retinol (and it's a great anti-aging ingredient), Replenix has you covered with several serums offering different strengths of retinol. The various strengths allow you to "step up" to stronger retinol products once your skin has acclimated to the lower strengths. Although that sounds intriguing, it's not really necessary. As we explain in the reviews, more retinol is not necessarily better, and some may find the higher-strength retinol products too sensitizing, so caution is warranted. Indeed, some people cannot tolerate any amount of retinol!
The Citrix products aren't all that exciting unless you want vitamin C in every product. Although there's nothing wrong with vitamin C, it's a mistaken notion to focus on one hero ingredient because skin requires a variety of beneficial ingredients to look and act younger. Topix also adds growth factors to their Citrix serums, but these growth-factor ingredients are unproven for topical use and may present risks (we explain why in the reviews). In short, Citrix isn't all that exciting, and several of these products fall short in one way or another.
Our research revealed that Topix has some intriguing products, but, with few exceptions, there is nothing that you cannot find elsewhere for less money. It's important to let go of the notion that skin-care products sold at a doctor's office are superior to those sold elsewhere. The truth is: There are good and bad products in every retail outlet—knowing what you're buying is more important than where you're buying it or who's selling it!

Apple CEO Upset About Low Share Price
Jason Mick
February 28, 2013 8:25 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Unrest boils at annual shareholder meeting, but things remain civil
Apple, Inc. (
) CEO Tim Cook won reelection to Apple's Board of Directors by a 99.1 percent vote. Apple is enjoying
record profitability
and is rumored to be working on a new project --
a smart watch
I. Cook Acknowledges Disappointing Share Prices Amid Lawsuit
And yet share prices have been
on a downward slide
, dipping as "low" as $435 USD per share in recent weeks. Some investors are worried that future Apple products won't be as big hits as the iPhone and iPad; others are angry that Apple is sitting on $137B USD in cash and securities, yet is failing to grow share buyback and dividends at an equivalent pace.
At the annual shareholder meeting, Tim Cook tried to placate his critics, arguing he was as mad as the next guy about low share prices. He comments, "I don't like it either. The board doesn't like it. The management team doesn't like it. What we are focused on is the long term. This has always been a secret of Apple."
Tim Cook claims he shares shareholders pain about dropping stock prices.
[Image Source: Bloomberg]
Such a frank acknowledgement still sounds strange coming from Apple. Mr. Cook's predecessor, the late Steve Jobs typically would
refuse to apologize for anything
. By contrast, since taking the reins, Mr. Cook
has been "all apologies"
as the Nirvana song goes.
In a way that makes sense. Mr. Cook himself was awarded one million restricted stock units last year (worth around $450M USD at current share prices); that fortune is hurt by low share prices, but could be boosted if share prices go back on the uphill climb.
However, top shareholder David Einhorn, who manages Greenlight Capital Re., Ltd. (
), made a powerful statement by refusing to show up at the meeting. Last Friday his firm scored an injunction invalidating a shareholder vote to scrap a proposal for Apple to issue preferred stock at its discretion.
Mr. Einhorn is pressuring Apple to "share the love", so to speak, by issuing preferred stock shares that would yield a fixed 4 percent annual dividend. He claims his so-called "iPref" proposal would reward Apple's investors with more profit sharing, while not diluting the primary pool of shares.
II. Shareholders Stay Civil, But Send a Message to Apple
Shareholders flexed their muscle on other issues as well. The shareholders ratified a proposal that would force Apple executives to hold more stock, which could push them to share more profit. They also passed a measure that will force the company to commit a board committee on human rights, which will investigate allegations of abuse at the factories that make Apple products in China. Apple opposed both proposals.
On the same note, Apple many shareholders
voted against
a pay raise for top executives, including Tim Cook.
California Public Employees Retirement System (CPERS), a large institutional Apple investor, voiced support for Mr. Einhorn's iPrefs proposal -- also known among shareholders as "Proposal 2". Senior Portfolio Manager Anne Simpson said it was unfortunate that the issue was not put to a vote at the meeting. She is quoted as saying, "We know there is hot debate going on with cash. We are willing and happy to wait."
Top Apple shareholder David Einhorn (manager of Greenlight Capital) is leading a push to force Apple to open up its treasure chest. [Image Source: Value Walk]
Tim Cook acknowledged the measure was being considered, while arguing that Mr. Einhorn's lawsuit to force the issue
was a "silly sideshow"
While the mood was tense during the meeting, it remained mostly civil and there were moments of levity. One shareholder pointed out that the Santa Clara, California Apple store lacked a bathroom. Tim Cook agreed that was a problem and promised to look into it.
"Vista runs on Atom ... It's just no one uses it". -- Intel CEO Paul Otellini

I was an ED applicant to Carleton so I was pretty much head over heels for this place even before I got here. A year later not a thing has changed and Carleton is one hundred percent Ritvik approved!
What excites me about Carleton? It's the people. You'll hear this phrase all the time, "Carls help Carls." Everyone you're going to meet over your time here is here to help. We're about 2000 students, which means you're going to end getting to know most of them one way or another. This tightly knit community builds an amazing support system for all of us and makes life a hell lot better. I love the fact that I can easily approach people to ask for help and actually explore what ever I want. If you love something or are just interested in it, you'll almost certainly end up learning more about it here.
I'm not going to say Carleton's perfect, no where is, but we are aware of our problems and make an effort to do something about them. The community is open to change, and ready to listen to what you have to say.
2. What is something you wish you had been better prepared for before arriving to Carleton?
I wish I'd know this:
- Be yourself: Carleton, although small, can still be an overwhelming place due to its variety in personalities. It is then important to remember what makes us different, rather than what makes us all the same and use that as a strength to stand out. Find the people who understand you and get a group of friends who you can value over anything.
- It's okay to be confused but it's important to use that confusion and try out everything that might intrigue you. I wish when I came it people told me that it's okay not to know what the next plan is. It's sometimes good to follow your gut feeling and do what you feel like, instead of following a life plan!

Heather Draper isn't afraid to take on the boys. "They all got mad because I finished first in the class." Draper, a senior at Grant County High School, said about the boys in her auto body class at Boone County vocational school.
Draper said she notices that auto body finishing is normally a male dominated field and it is more difficult for women to advance. "I have to work harder to prove myself." Draper said. And, that's just what she did.
Worn-out children have transitioned to wide-eyed learners by the end of the first year of all-day kindergarten at Grant County and Williamstown schools.
Both school districts began all-day kindergarten classes in August, and, despite an adjustment period, teachers believe the change has paid off.
Dry Ridge Elementary is serious about getting children to read.
That's what prompted the hallways to become a canvas for nursery rhymes and fairy tales.
Daniel Pagan, special education teacher at DRE, and Sarah Campbell, parent of a second grade student, have spent numerous hours after school working to transform the plain gray and white walls into works of art.
The project started with the talking phase in November with actual paint to wall in February.
The Youth Performance Award winner for April is Ashley Goodrich, a senior at Grant County High School.
Goodrich, 17, is the daughter of Kimberly and Jim Goodrich of Corinth.
Haines earns degree
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, English as a Second Language (ESL) students had a party at the Grant County Library.
Sherman Elementary third grader Olivia Valdovinos pours homemade orchata.
Patricia Dawn Turner of Union, will be graduating from Thomas More College May 16. She will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. She will also receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. She is member of Theta Phi Alpha Sorority. She is also a member of the Psi Chi National Honor Society in psychology.
Turner is a 2005 graduate of Grant County High School.
She is the daughter of Charles Turner of Corinth and Tamra Turner of Union.
GCHS hosts Tractor Day
The Grant County High School FFA will be sponsoring Tractor Day May 8.
Members will be driving their tractors to Grant County High School the morning of May 8. Judging of the classes will occur at 3:30 p.m.
There will be slow moving vehicles on the roads Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. and again from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Please be cautious, patient and drive safe. Grant County High School hopes to make this a recurring event for the students and community.
Williamstown holds fundraiser
Adams inducted into Beta Pi Tau chapter
Joan Adams was inducted into the Beta Pi Tau Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Gateway Community and Tech College on April 24.
Megan Perrin is excited to graduate from Grant County High School, but at the same time, she's excited about what awaits her once she's done with high school.
Perrin will travel to Australia and New Zealand on June 11 as part of the People to People program. To take part in the program, Perrin was nominated by a teacher from Grant County Middle School.
"When I heard about it, I was so excited because I thought I got a free trip, but you have to go through an interview process," Perrin said. "I was super excited that I was chosen."

I read in paper (Aug. 29) about two of our fire captains, ages 52 and 56, who are retiring because the city is offering them an early out to save money. How?
Since this would be public record, maybe you could find out what that offer was and what their annual retirement salary will be.
I see so many times that firemen and police (public safety) are retiring in their early 50s. Isn't this losing some very well trained and qualified employees with many good working years left? Whatever happened to the 60 to 65 retirement years?
I don't blame any of our hard working public safety personnel for the retire benefits they are offered. I do blame the city council and any others that hand out these very generous packages. If my understanding is correct, they can retire after 30 years of service at 90% of their salary plus health benefits, if I'm wrong I know someone will correct me.
I think we had better take a hard look at changing some of these benefit for new employees before we go broke like Vallejo and many other cities. I'm sure I will hear from many that don't like the content of this letter, but it needs to be addressed. Wake up, Lodi!

'Tis the Fifth Season in Branson
Lodge of the Ozarks • Branson, MO
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe or Standard Room
- Two Tickets for One Show of Your Choice
- Two Tickets to Hollywood Wax Museum
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Two Nights
Known as the Live Music Show Capital of the World, Branson, Missouri, boasts so many entertainment options that the city decided to add an extra season to its year.
Along with Branson Hot Winter Fun, Summer Family Fun, Ozark Mountain Spring, and Branson Fall Colors, the Ozark Mountain Christmas season was added so you'd have time to truly experience the most wonderful time of the year—Branson style.
Get a one-night stay for two in a Deluxe or Standard Room at Lodge of the Ozarks, and celebrate the season with two tickets to the Hollywood Wax Museum and two tickets to one live show of your choice.
Rooms are appointed with two queen-size beds, a full bath, and a sitting area with cable TV, and breakfast is included.
When it comes time to hit the town, you'll have your choice of country, gospel, and variety shows; comedy acts; musical theater; tribute acts, and, of course, Christmas shows. Choose from Baldknobbers, Brett Family, Cat's Pajamas, Clay Cooper, Comedy Jamboree, Christmas with the Lennon Sisters, Christmas Snow, Grand Jubilee, Hamner Barber, Hank Williams Revisited, Haygoods, Johnny Cash Songbook, Legend of Kung Fu, Mickey Gilley, Oh! What A Night, Paul Harris and the Cleverly's, Rankin Brothers, Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama, Texas Tenors, 3 Redneck Tenors, Todd Oliver and Friends, The Price is Right Live, and Tony Orlando's Great American Christmas.
Along with endless entertainment, Branson is known for its dazzling dining and shopping options. Check out The Cosmopolitian Bistro for some upscale eats, or Ernie Biggs Dueling Pianos for a down-home good time.
TripAdvisor chose Branson as a Top 25 Destination in its 2012 Travelers' Choice Destination Awards, and you'll be smack in the middle of the action at the Lodge, which is located on the famed 76 Strip and within walking distance of theaters, fine dining, and fun activities. Then again, you could always kick back at the heated indoor pool and relax in the Jacuzzi.
See why Branson added a fifth season to its showstopping calendar and pencil in a trip to Lodge of the Ozarks.
"I was very impressed by the overall look of the Lodge. The lobby was very open and roomy with beautiful furnishings and comfortable sitting areas."-- TripAdvisor

MacBook Air 11in
There's been a theme to my wish list choices over the years, in so much as I've basically always wanted the same two or three things: a top-end SLR, a really nice laptop, and a splendiferous TV. And as the years have gone by I've evidently not been deemed a sufficiently good boy by for me to get any of them - I know, who'd have thunk! So it is again that I'm hoping Santa will be delivering me two of these three items.
This year's laptop choice combines portability, style, ease of use, and power like no other: it's the Macbook Air 11in.
Now the point to remember here is that this is a wish list. Were I spending my own pennies I'd find the Air to be too expensive for what it is (just as Hugo points out in his review). However, as something to desire it ticks all the boxes. I love the styling and build quality, the smaller size compared to the 13in Air is very useful, the screen is class leading, the five hour battery life is a bit low but adequate, the CPU is powerful enough, and the 3D graphics processor will even let me play some games.
I could actually take or leave the multi-touch single-button touchpad and the MacOS operating system, being a fairly dyed-in-the-wool Windows user, but that hardware is enough to make this a prime candidate for something that I really want but will probably never have.
Canon 5D MkII
I've always fancied myself as a bit of a photographer and for years toyed with the idea of getting a DSLR, finally buying the Sony A200 a couple of years ago. I enjoyed it greatly but fairly quickly learned its limitations (it didn't help that it was nicked a couple of months ago, either). The next logical step up (and across - I want to move away from Sony) would be to get something like the Canon 550D, with its Live View and video modes, much larger pixel count and better high ISO control. However, given as this is a wish list I'm going to aim a bit higher...
The Canon 5D MkII is the baby of the company's full-frame DSLR range, meaning it's the smallest camera with the larger 35mm sensor for exceptional quality photos. While it's still a large, heavy camera, the weight and space saved will nearly always be preferable to me than the extra bulk and features the highest-end models, such as the Canon 1D MkIV, possess. Great overall performance and superb video shooting capabilities (with niceties like external mic inputs) also make this a great all-rounder as well as a pro-level photo taking tool.
Roland TD-20KX V-Drum Electronic Drum Kit
Inspired by Cliff's mention of a new guitar, I've also taken on a musical theme for my wildcard this year. As a fellow guitarist I could happily choose from a self-tuning Gibson Les Paul for sheer ease of use, one of any number of seven string guitars to get my low down and dirty groove on, a quality classical, or a compact portable acoustic to bolster my collection. However, I've decided to to leave the guitar goodness to Cliff.
Instead, my choice came down to two things: a nice digital piano or an electronic drum kit. And while I really could do with getting back up to par with my piano playing, I've always been jealous of the drummers I've played with over the years as they get to beat the living daylights out of their kits. Now it's my turn! Or at least it will be if all this year's misdemeanours manage to slip under Santa's nose.

Smith, 30, who took on the role when David Tennant left in 2010, said it had been "an honour" to play the part.
With no one signed up to replace him, Smith's departure immediately raised speculation about whether the next Doctor will be a woman, black or both.
Names suggested in newspaper reports include Dame Helen Mirren and Broadchurch star Olivia Coleman, with bookmakers offering odds of 8-1 on a female doctor. The Wire star Idris Elba is also gets a mention.
But Harry Potter star Rupert Grint and Russell Tovey of supernatural series Being Human were seen as early 10-1 favourites, according to bookmakers William Hill.
The Doctor's current companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, will stay with the show.
Smith said: "Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show.
"I'm incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day, to realise all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience. Many of them have become good friends and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years."
He also paid tribute to show supremo Steven Moffat whose "varied, funny, mind bending and brilliant scripts has been one of the greatest and most rewarding challenges of my career".
He said: "It's been a privilege and a treat to work with Steven, he's a good friend and will continue to shape a brilliant world for the Doctor.
"The fans of Doctor Who around the world are unlike any other; they dress up, shout louder, know more about the history of the show (and speculate more about the future of the show) in a way that I've never seen before, your dedication is truly remarkable.
"Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number Eleven, who I might add is not done yet, I'm back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special."
Smith, who recently made his directorial debut, has spoken about ambitions for a film-making career.
While playing the Doctor he has also taken on other roles, including the novelist Christopher Isherwood and 1948 Olympic rower Bert Bushnell.
He has recently been filming a lead role in the Ryan Gosling film How To Catch A Monster which is due out next year.
Moffat said: "Every day, on every episode, in every set of rushes, Matt Smith surprised me: the way he'd turn a line, or spin on his heels, or make something funny, or out of nowhere make me cry, I just never knew what was coming next.
"But great actors always know when it's time for the curtain call, so this Christmas prepare for your hearts to break, as we say goodbye to number Eleven. Thank you Matt - bow ties were never cooler."
Smith is due to appear with Tennant, Billie Piper, Jenna-Louise Coleman and John Hurt in Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, before his farewell episode at Christmas.
Moffat added: "Of course, this isn't the end of the story, because now the search begins.
"Somewhere out there right now - all unknowing, just going about their business - is someone who's about to become the Doctor. A life is going to change, and Doctor Who will be born all over again! After 50 years, that's still so exciting!"

Social media is everywhere these days. Everyday I get a Facebook friend invite, Linkedin request, classmates update, and it goes on and on. It is an overwhelming experience to keep up with everything. And sometimes, when I get frustrated, I just delete everything!
Probably not the best idea either, what can be done about this issue, though? Well, nothing is written in stone but here are some recommended do's and don'ts on how to manage your social networking life.
Perhaps they can help you get the most out of the various online communities.
The Do's of Social Media Interactions
Adopt – Three years ago, Facebook made its debut to the college world at large. No one knew if it would replace Friendster or Classmates but college kids still joined.
Today, Facebook represents one of the vital mediums of communication. Remember that the online world is undergoing constant changes and what is hot one day is not the other. Don't get stuck in one way of thinking – adapt to changes and trends.
Research – Decide where you want to participate. Are your friends on Facebook, MySpace, or Orkut? Pick the one that has the most potential for you. This is much easier than it sounds. If you are a web designer, consider joining a design forum or if you are tech geek, join a technology forum. It will take some time to snatch up the right place, but once you do, you will be in a community where people already have similar tastes to you. If you do not do your research, you risk the chance of getting left behind and wasting time.
Learn – Know what is going on in your community. Jeff who added the Friends for Sale application on Facebook may not be breaking news but finding out your coworker is friends with the boss, may be a good thing to know. Within your community, check out if there are groups (real and virtual), alumni associations, or gadget meetups.
Be active – Post, write, and engage your connections. There's no point in being part of a community to have a front page profile with no substance. If you blog, keep up with the comments. Someone took the time to write something meaningful on your blog, reciprocate and respond back. Creating conversations with others around you, establishes connections and fuels ideas. Things like Twitter are all about active conversations (sometimes to yourself), so go for it.
Commit – Yes, commit to the sites that you have chosen to be active in. It is like with everything else in your life; give it your all instead of doing half-assedly. And the longer you remain within a community the more respect you earn.
The Don`ts of Social Media Interactions
Exaggerate – You can be who you want online. Going overboard with your accomplishments can bite you in the least expected way. Don't pretend to be someone or something you are not; it can not be detrimental to your reputation, lying is grounds for termination from most social networking sites.
"Exaggerate" definition from urbandictionary.com:
"Magnify beyond truth, or to make something seem larger,better,worse or more important than it really is or needs to be".
Overstretch – Joining too many networks means you have less time for each one. Limit your entire social ecosystem to three or four. You want quality, not quantity. If you join too many communities you simply will not be able to follow each community with any real substance.
Leech – You know those people who just leech off of the other people's discussions? Don't be that person as it will not get you any friends. If you constantly leech, you will not get any help when time comes. Online communities function the same way real communities do. Excommunicating, ignoring and downright banning are ways for members to sift others from being useful or leeching off the thoughts of others.
"Leech" definition from urbandictionary.com:
One who constantly takes from others without giving anything in return.

The Eastern Pulaski School Board accepted four donations to the corporation that were made by the community. Superintendent Dr. Robert Klitzman says the program that received monetary donations was that of Helping Hands.
"It's designed to help students who have a need in the area of textbook rental and also for their lunch program and breakfast program," explained Dr. Klitzman. "Our community donates money anonymously and as students have this need, we go ahead and provide the funding for that and let the parents know that this was provided by our Helping Hands Program."
More than $500 was donated toward that fund to help students with their needs at school.

Bearcats Post 10th-Place Finish at Ball State Cardinal Collegiate
March 28, 2010
JASPER, Ind. - David Tepe (Liberty Township, Ohio/Lakota East) finished ninth to lead the University of Cincinnati men's golf team to a 10th-place finish at the Ball State Cardinal Collegiate on March 26-28 at Sultan's Run Golf Course.
Tepe fired rounds of 72-73-77=222 and tied with four other golfers for ninth at six over par.
Matt Ledom (Leawood, Kan./Rockhurst Jesuit Prep) finished 27th and shot a UC-low 69 in the second round. His 79-69-79=227 tied with two others.
Joe Kastelic (Newton, N.C./Fred T. Foard) also finished in the Top 50, shooting rounds of 78-80-77=235 to tie for 49th.
Cincinnati posted rounds of 305-300-315=920 to finish three shots ahead of 11th-place Cleveland State (313-305-305=923). Evansville won the team title with rounds of 301-298-290=889, two shots better than second-place Bowling Green (301-298-290=889).
Bowling Green's Matt Schneider was the individual champion, firing rounds of 71-71-71=213 for three under par. Marshall's Nathan Kerns was in second place, five shots back with rounds of 72-71-75=218.
The Bearcats will head to Lexington, Ky., for the Bluegrass Invitational on April 10-11.

News and Announcements
|FlyBase News
|Mapped Features Reorganized ... Mar 2009
The "Mapped Features & Mutations" section of the gene report pages, which is found under the "Gene Model & Products" heading, has been renamed and reorganized in the FB2009_03 release. This section is now called "Mapped Features" and contains only information on wild-type features associated with the gene, such as regulatory regions and regulatory protein binding sites. The data on characterized mutations and other sequence variants (including rescue fragments) have been moved to the "Mutations Mapped to the Genome" section of the report for the allele associated with the molecular lesion; the sequence coordinates of aberration breakpoints have been moved to the relevant aberration report; and sequence location data for transgenic insertions are now presented in the insertion report. All mapped features may be viewed in GBrowse by toggling the "Select All" option for "Mapped features"; precise coordinates and comments are included in the GBrowse html table option.
|The FB2009_01 release ... Jan 2009
The FB2009_01 release includes an overview of the precomputed files generated by FlyBase, and several new ways to view molecularly localized aberrations, including by entire arm or chromosome.
In GBrowse a new view is available that shows molecularly localized genes and aberrations. To select this view choose "Drosophila aberrations" from the "Data Source" menu in the main GBrowse window. It allows you to view aberrations up to 3Mb in size, and will also display the location of transposon insertion sites when you look at an interval of less than 300Kb.
Aberrations that delete the entire interval displayed are referred to as "Spanning Aberrations" and hovering over the dark red line produces a table listing these aberrations. Hyperlinks within the table allow you to navigate to the report on each aberration.
When you place your mouse over an aberration an alphabetical list of all the genes predicted to be affected by the aberration (deleted or truncated) appears. Clicking on the aberration will take you to the FlyBase report page for the aberration. Similarly, hovering over a gene or transposon insertion site displays information about it, and clicking on it takes you to the corresponding report.
Aberration Maps for Arms and Chromosomes
Images showing all molecularly localized aberrations and genes by arm or chromosome are also availabe from the Aberration Maps page listed in the Tools menu. The links on the page take you to the left end of the arm or chromosome, and the entire extent can be viewed by scrolling to the right. Like the new GBrowse view, information about an aberration or gene can be obtained by hovering over it. A copy of the images of the arms and chromosomes can be downloaded from the aberrations section of the precomputed files page.
Deficiency Maps in Aberration Reports
Each FlyBase report describing one of the Df()ED, Df()Exel, Df()BSC and Df()FDD class of aberrations contains an image showing the genes predicted to be uncovered by the aberration, and overlapping or neighbouring molecularly localized aberrations. Clicking on a gene or aberration will take you to the appropriate report. You can also move to the new GBrowse view of the molecularly localized aberrations by clicking on the "GBrowse" link listed on the left hand side of the picture.
|Changed E-mail for Help ... Oct 2008
FlyBase has eliminated the e-mail address flybase-helpmorgan.harvard.edu because that address had been hopelessly compromised by spammers. Although the address had been hidden behind our help form in recent years, it was exposed on the site for many years prior and had become the source of a vast and relentlessly growing quantity of spam. If you use the Contact FlyBase help form on the web site you will not be affected by this change. If you prefer to e-mail us directly you will need to use the help form to ask for the new address. This address may change periodically in the future, but you will always be able to reach us via the Contact FlyBase form and we will continue to provide the direct e-mail address to those who request it.
|Chromosome Maps ... Sep 2008
We are introducing chromosome maps for the 12 sequenced Drosophila species with the FB2008_08 release, which are based on the ones publised in Schaeffer et. al., Genetics 179: 1601-1655 2008, and the well characterised physical and genetic maps for Drosophila melanogaster. The maps show the sequence scaffolds aligned to the polytene chromosome maps for the Muller elements of each species. For more information on the syntenic relationships among the 12 sequenced genomes, their standard chromosomal numbering and corresponding Muller element please see the Muller Element Arm Synteny Table. The different Muller elements of the species selected can be viewed by using the controls at the top right hand side of the map.
The aligned sequence scaffolds are indicated on the maps in blue and and moving your cursor over a scaffold will produce a yellow box that corresponds to a window in GBrowse.
The location of the GBrowse window is updated as you move along a sequence scaffold and clicking on the yellow box will take you to the corresponding location in GBrowse. The controls at the top of the page allow you to alter the size of the GBrowse window.
You can move around the chromosome maps by using the arrows at the top left hand corner of the map, or by dragging on the surface of the map. Alternatively, you can change your location by dragging the blue box shown in the overview map at the bottom right hand corner of the map window.

|Report on the November 2007 FlyBase survey ... Mar 2008
Report on the results of the FlyBase survey undertaken November 2007.
We were very pleased that respondents find that FlyBase is proving a valuable resource, with 65% of using FlyBase once a day or more and 80% finding FlyBase invaluable or very helpful in their genetic research activities. We were also pleased that most respondents who had contacted us for help found our response very good or good (88%). For a detailed breakdown of the results please see the acompanying PDF.
More importantly, your responses have been key in setting our priorities for the future, and we urge you to continue to give us suggestions for how we can improve the ability of FlyBase to assist your research. We need to understand FlyBase users' needs in order to make best use of our limited resources. We received too many suggestions to discuss all of them in this summary, and although all the points that were raised are being considered by the FlyBase team, we would like to highlight here a few of the lessons we learned from the survey.
|Fly Genomes in Nature ... Nov 2007
FlyBase is pleased to call your attention to the publication of the main community papers describing the sequence and analysis of the 12 Drosophila genomes in the November 8 issue of Nature.
These papers and more than 40 companion papers that are being published over the next few months in several journals represent the initial results of analyses of an incredibly rich body of information. This is a landmark event in the long and wonderful history of Drosophila genetics and genomics, and marks a new phase in comparative genomics.
We are indebted to our colleagues who participated in this community effort and are confident that both the Drosophila and the greater scientific community will benefit from their efforts. On behalf of these communities, we wish to thank the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of NIH for funding the sequencing effort and the participating sequencing centers for producing the sequences and assemblies.
FlyBase is actively working on finalizing the annotation sets for display in FlyBase and for their submission to GenBank on behalf of the Drosophila 12 Genomes Consortium. FlyBase will also provide access to other important data sets from these initial analyses. If you have suggestions/requests for information sets from these analyses that you would like to see displayed or accessible from FlyBase, please use our Contact FlyBase form to send us these suggestions.
The specific references for the main papers are:
Drosophila 12 Genomes Consortium, 2007. Evolution of genes and
genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.
Stark et al., 2007. Discovery of functional elements in 12
Drosophila genomes using evolutionary signatures.
|Textpresso for Fly ... Oct 2007
FlyBase is pleased to announce the addition of a link to "Textpresso for Fly", a full-text search engine for the biological literature of the Drosophilidae. Textpresso for Fly currently contains 20,000 full text articles and 39,000 abstracts from the Drosophila literature.
Searches with keywords yield hits that consist of abstracts and (where available) complete sentences from the full text of the matching papers. In addition, more powerful and refined searches can be done with the use of categories. Categories are collections of conceptually related words whose occurrences have been marked up in the full text. For example, if one is interested in finding papers discussing the regulation of bcd, one would type the keyword "bcd" and specify the category "regulation". The search engine then returns sentences from full texts that contain at least one mention of the gene 'bcd' and at least one word or phrase from the list of terms comprising the "regulation" category. The lists of ~100 category types and their constituent terms are easily accessed from the Textpresso site. Links from the Textpresso reports lead users to the FyBase reference reports, from which the FlyBase-curated data can be accessed.
The link to "Textpresso for Fly" may be found in the "Resources" menu of the navigation bar.

|Apollo Support ... Sep 2006
From this point forward FlyBase will be providing Apollo viewable annotation data in chado-xml format only. The latest version of Apollo has been modified to retrieve annotation data via the web in this format. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest available version of Apollo
We will no longer provide annotation data in GAME-XML format and while Apollo is still able to load and view existing GAME-XML data the data files must be available on the local machine as web retrieval of GAME files is no longer supported.
Please be aware that when Apollo is retrieving annotation data from the web it is obtaining precomputed chunks of xml. While the pieces have been generated to not span any gene models retrieval by sequence range may not result in the exact sequence requested being loaded into Apollo.
Please use the contact FlyBase form to send questions and requests for help to FlyBase.
|Linkouts in FlyBase ... Mar 2006
FlyBase offers direct "linkouts" from our gene report pages to other web-based Drosophila data services. . The FlyBase Consortium wishes to thank the organizers and developers of these data sets for helping us provide a great deal of valuable information on Drosophila genes and genomes.
In addition to these links FlyBase also provide direct links to the Drosophila records in the major international nucleotide, protein and bibliographic databases.

|Consultation on the 2009 White Paper ... Jan 2009
Dear Fly Person,
Every two years the Drosophila Board, together with extensive input from the fly community, revises and publishes the Drosophila Board White Paper. This document is extremely useful for informing NIH and NSF of our top research priorities. Past White Papers have helped to justify funding for valuable community resources such as insertion mutations, cDNA collections, FlyBase and fly and molecular stock centers. The White Paper is scheduled for an update this year, and I am writing to ask for your input.
Please download and read the latest version of the White Paper:
Your input to this process is essential for maintaining and expanding our research tools. Please take the time to send your comments and ideas so that our stated priorities accurately represent the fly community for the next few years. Respond to me, to your regional Representative on the Board, or to any member of the Board. Our email addresses can be found at:
Thank you for your help,
Carl Thummel

|ENCODE-modENCODE Consortia Data Release Policy ... Nov 2008
NHGRI announced the Data Release Policy agreed for the ENCODE and modENCODE Projects.
|modENCODE White Paper ... Oct 2008
The modENCODE White Paper [PDF] proposes
|Draft ENCODE Data Release Policy ... Sep 2008
The NHGRI would like input from the fly community on the draft Data Release Policy that has been developed for the ENCODE and modENCODE Projects.
NHGRI has updated the data release plan for the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA elements) and model organism ENCODE (modENCODE) Projects (see http://www.genome.gov/ENCODE and http://www.genome.gov/modENCODE, respectively), which are designed to identify all functional elements in the genomes of human (ENCODE), and Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans (modENCODE). NHGRI has designated both ENCODE and modENCODE as "community resource projects." Accordingly, the data release plan is based on the principles set forth in the Fort Lauderdale agreement (http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/WellcomeReport0303.pdf). This update provides more specificity to the data release guidelines.
The Fort Lauderdale agreement noted that the success and utility of community resource projects is based on mutual and independent responsibilities for the production and use of the resource by the resource producers, the resource users, and the funding agencies. The update of the ENCODE/modENCODE data release plan has been developed in consultation with the members of the ENCODE and modENCODE Consortia, and with the External Consultants Panel for the projects. As the plan is intended to take into account the needs and responsibilities of the resource users, we would like to offer the research community an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposal before the plan is finalized. Comments on the plan should be sent to Encodemail.nih.gov by Wednesday, October 15, 2008.

|Seymour Benzer Obituary ... Dec 2007
Dear Colleagues,
It is with sadness that FlyBase notes the passing of one of the true giants of genetics, Seymour Benzer on Nov. 30. Not only did he establish the basic concept of the complementation unit (cistron) through his groundbreaking work on the rII genes in phage T4 in the early days of molecular biology, but he then switched fields completely and founded the modern era of neurogenetics through his seminal work on neurobiology and behavior in Drosophila. The legacy of this work is immense. Just as importantly, he was a dear friend and mentor to many of us and we shall miss him.
|The Drosophila Board White Paper 2007 ... Nov 2007
Dear Fly Person,
I am writing to ask for your comments on the Drosophila Board White Paper 2007 draft. The White Paper is extremely important for informing funding agencies including the NIH and NSF of our top research priorities for the next 2-3 years.

For those looking for SR22 insurance quotes, the chances are you have a pretty shocking driving record. To put it simply, you will require an SR22 document to prove that you have some form of car insurance or financial responsibility. Most people who have or need an SR22 document will have either been suspended from driving for DUI, speeding or at fault accidents. It may also be for repeated and multiple traffic offenses, in which case this puts you into the high risk category. This form of proof must be submitted to the DMV before a suspended license can be reinstated. If required to obtain an SR22, you must have this document in your possession for at least three years.
Step 1 - Where to Start
You may have trouble obtaining a quote for SR22 insurance, based on your previous driving record. Cheap SR22 insurance quotes are not commonplace and some companies are reluctant to insure a driver with such a history. This does not mean your task will be impossible, however. Be prepared to phone quote a few companies, unless you already have a list of who to call. Start with your local insurance agent and see if they have any insider knowledge that can help you obtain a cheap quote.
Step 2 - Things to Remember
It's important to find a company that will insure your circumstances. Some SR22 cases are slightly higher risk than others, although they are all equally frowned upon by insurance companies. Remember that your license will not be reinstated until you provide the DMV with insurance proof, using the SR22.
Step 3 - Online
You can search for SR22 insurance quotes online. Many companies advertise their willingness to help if you need an SR22. Progressive will also offer to handle the filing for you if it is court ordered. There will of course be a fee to pay, but for some, having that help is essential.
Step 4 - Quotes
After obtaining a few quotes that you're happy with, start to compare them in terms of cost and benefits. The SR22 status will only be removed once you have carried insurance constantly for the three years required. In some states it is three years and 33 days from the date of the suspension. Don't let your insurance policy lapse at any time during those three years. Check with the DMV for the legal obligations in your state.
Step 5 - Acquiring
After finding an acceptable quote and you're happy with the payment plan, you'll be required to pay a large percentage as a down payment. Be prepared and have a valid form of payment within reach so you can complete checkout and get the policy started. Once you have paid the policy deposit you will receive an insurance card and documents through the mail.
Related Questions and AnswersIs Classic Car Tax Different if You Rebuild the Classic Car?
An author once said "a rose is a rose is a...", and the same is true of classic car tax. Whether you buy an already refurbished and restored classic car or you rebuild it yourself, the insurance rate for will be the same. Remember, though, that the classic car tax is only applicable to vehicles that are on the road and registered as classic cars. Classic cars that are non-operational may be subject to a small non-operational vehicle fee (usually not over $8), while you are restoring the vehicle. If you intend to trailer your vehicle, then the only fee you will pay is a non-operational vehicle fee.How Soon after a DUI do Car Insurance Rates Go Up?
In general, DUI car insurance rates will not increase until the year after the DUI incident because of the way insurance premiums are set. Car insurance premiums are set on a year-to-year basis, and, unless you cancel or change your policy coverages, which would necessitate a rebate or an increase in premium, your policy is a binding contract that is negotiable when rates are set at the end of its term. Usually a year later. In states where surcharges are used, it may take as much as 18 to 24 months to see an increase. However, the increase will last up to six years or less, depending on the state.
