Obtaining a Brazilian Visa
Buenos Aires, Argentina
If you want to travel into Brazil, and you're fortunate enough to possess a passport from one of the countries they actually like, you won't have to worry about visa formalities prior to reaching the border; however, if you don't, get ready to jump through the hoops.
For all the crap I'm going through to get a tourist visa into Brazil, the place better be worth it. Never before in Latin America have I had to apply for entry into a country in advance, and the amount of red tape is rather off-putting.
It's not just the bureaucratic formalities; the US$100 fee that I have to pay because of my nationality is ridiculous. Yes, I'm aware that it's Brazil's way of giving the middle finger to the USA for the US$100 my government charges for visas into the United States—reciprocity, they're calling it.
In Buenos Aires a visit to the Brazilian embassy is required for many to secure entry into the 5th largest country in the world. An American girl in my hostel was recounting the ordeal that she had to go though during her visit during the allotted hours—most of it was time spent waiting in a series of lines.
Items to have in hand when you visit the embassy:
- Your passport,
- A single passport photo,
- Proof of yellow fever immunization,
- Proof of purchased transport into and out of the country,
- The known name, address, and phone number of a hotel or hostel, and
- The processing fee
The embassy Web site instructs that you can fill out the paperwork ahead of time (and the girl I talked to highly recommended doing it)—but this just turned out to be a waste of time. The visa clerk denied the form (holding up a different variation of the tourist visa application) and told me to use the application-only computers to create a new one. Fortunately there wasn't an hour-plus line to use them, like the American girl had to wait in.
After waiting an hour or so in line I came to discover four things:
- They could care less about a yellow fever vaccination certificate,
- You couldn't pay the processing fee at the embassy,
- You better have some convincing proof of inward and onward travel in order, and
- The embassy was going to take my passport away from me while they processed it—for an entire week
The big sticking point people seem to be having problems with is presenting proof of onward travel. The embassy not only wants to see your ticket into the country, but that you've already secured your transport out—always problematic when you're backpacking and don't have any desire to control your schedule with fixed travel dates.
I walked up to the clerk and presented her with my fake airline travel itinerary, courtesy of my faux ticket technique. The key is knowing that with so many ways to print out an electronic ticket itinerary, there's no way for an immigration or embassy employee to verify the legitimacy of the document (they don't have the resources for such things anyway). If your name is on the printout and it shows an airline and flight destinations they're familiar with, you're golden. Additionally, I manipulate the situation by using a highlighter to mark the parts of the document that I want their eye to focus on.
My big stink of the ordeal was that I couldn't pay the visa processing to the embassy directly, I was sent to a bank several blocks away with a numbered piece of paper. In the bank I waited, and waited, and waited. Eight or so people in front of me and it took over an hour to reach the counter. Pesos only, to boot, I couldn't pay the fee in dollars.
I'm told that Bolivia has recently (just a few weeks after I passed through it) started forcing travelers go through similar visa processing procedures (and fees) prior to traveling through the country. I find this annoying to no end, as Bolivia has clearly been thought of as a gateway between Argentina and Peru for some time now.
Update: One week later I have my passport and visa in hand.

to be fair, I heard that Brazil didn't start with the requirement of visas for US citizens until the US government made the requirement for Brazilian citizens.
February 1st, 2007
Yes, but a visa to the U.S. can be granted for up to 10 years of entry…

Ok, I can see how annoying it is to get a visa to Brazil… Could you imagine how it was for me, a brazilian citizen, to get one to visit your country? We have to prove we have no intention of staying there illegaly, as if everybody was crazy to live in USA. It´s humiliating. I had to collect all kinds of financial informations about my life to show I could stay there with my own money and had to prove I had strong reasons to come back home (such as a job or a house in my name). I´m sorry about your problems with brazilian visa, but USA seems to be the country that choses who is interesting to have there as a tourist.

You can get a ten year version for Brazil as well, but have to have a reason. If you can find a Brazilian to go with you, it helps a lot. I went to the embassy in Asunción, Paraguay and had no trouble…. But it all changes regularly!

Typical American, compaining about having to fill out a little form to enter the country.
I'm American as well, and I have to go through the same thing to go to Brazil. Let me tell you, its nothing. For the last 2 months I've been filling out various government forms, investigation different programs and exploring different ideas just so a Brazilian friend of mine can visit for 3 months Its cost me nearly $300 and even more in headaches. And its not even certain if he is accepted. If I were to write a similar article about a foreigner's experience trying to come to America, it would fill 5 pages.
You have no idea how lucky you are to be American, we have it so good and we can go anywhere in the world we want. In fact, I have hand it to the Brazilians for their little act of reciprocity, at least theres one country thats not afraid to give us a small taste of what we hand out to the rest of the world.
Have some gratitude and try to see things from the other side, thats the best travel advice you can give.

I know where you can get these visas done quick and done right. And there not hard to get. Try one of those visa services. They turn it around very quickly. Worth every penny!!!!

Cut Craig some slack. Just because he (very rightly) points out that it is really annoying to get a visa to visit Brazil, he's not implying that to get a visa to the United States is any less annoying. The two things aren't mutually exclusive, people. And seriously, the hoops one has to jump through here in Buenos Aires are usually as mystifying and nonsensical as they are a complete waste of my time. Thanks for the visa info, btw.
November 18th, 2007
My pleasure, Smed.
Now, almost a year later, if I was to do anything different before getting a visa for Brazil in Buenos Aires, it would have been to actually purchase an "air pass" for Brazil. Overland travel is so expensive in Brazil, it's actually cheaper to fly (and it's not because the flights are cheap, it's just the cost of a bus ticket is upwards of US$4/5 per hour of the journey). Brazil is a big country, and traveling 25 hours on a bus is expensive inside it.
My suggestions: Fly from Foz do Iguazu to Rio to Salvador, to Belem, then float up the Amazon, and bus into Venezuela (or fly out of the country) from Manaus.

The great problem is : We brazilians have a lot of idiots in your country. So your embassy/consulate have to deny a lot of applications to us. If they deny to the "right" persons it's ok.. But they deny with weak reasons.. Deny to "wrong" and allow the fucking ones to entry. Europe doesn't require a visa to brazilians, we do not require to Europeans, they can do the visa at the airport. Wanna go to Brazil, go by car, throught Argentina, Paraguay. Easy Easy.
I apologize about my governament "act", they started doing that after a Minas Gerais Judge had to get his fingerprint at one airport on USA. Here policits speaks more loud than the intelligence. I am really sorry.
May 22nd, 2008
I just ask you to think about the hundreds if thousands (maybe even millions) of people who have to get through much worse procedures when requesting a visa to enter the US. And also don't forget that the people who need visas to enter the US are from poor countries. Some make less than the processing fee.
My congratulations to the Brazilian Government for standing up to the US. I wish all countries would apply the reciprocity principle. Maybe then US voters would press for a change in policy. Though this would potentially affect not more than one fifth of the population (who hold passports), and probably even less (those who venture to travel to "third world countries")
October 22nd, 2008
Getting a visa to Brazil has been the easiest visa I have ever had to obtain. A picture, proof of travel, the fee, and a week later I had my visa. Try getting a visa to China or Russia!! I had to have a "letter of invite" from an agency (another fee, another week or two to get this) and it was a much more complicated process. Also, the process for a Brazilian visa is very easy if you get your visa before you leave the U.S., (as should be done). ALSO, the tourist visa is valid for five years and multiple entries. pretty convenient, and much more convenient than the single entry visas of other countries that require it.
On the other hand, Brazilians trying to come to the U.S. have to go for in-person interviews in Sao Paolo, and are often denied. So really, stop complaining.
May 6th, 2009
It's actually gotten even worse. If you are going through the Atlanta consulate, BEWARE! I followed the instructions for the VITUR visa as listed on the Brazilian Embassy site and did everything on the checklist. My documents were returned to me and they asked for more cash and directed me to a secret website that you could not possibly know about otherwise where you have to fill out a secret Atlanta cnsulate form and go through a weird ceritification process. You also have to prove residence in your state for more than one year. Very bizarre. And this to visit Brazil for 11 days? Never again. What a nightmare. The secret application site for ATlanta is at http://www.abe.mre.gov.br/mund.....icos/visa/
Good luck!

Da Silva is a child. The whole an eye for an eye argument is completely lost on me. Where does that end?
The US government is not solely targeting Brazilians. The US is the most diverse and arguably the most desirable country to live in and or have citizenship of in the entire world. I live in NYC and assure you there are loads of illegals living and working here which is cool with me. They are attempting to achieve the American dream. Though, I highly doubt Brazil is dealing with US citizens overstaying their visas working locally and sending Reals back to the US. It's simply childish to single out US citizens.
I've just had to cancel my trip to Brazil b/c of the bureaucratic nightmare associated with getting a visa. Bravo, De Silva, you just lost your country roughly $3k. Up side: it will now go to your neighbors.
November 10th, 2009
I have to agree with Austin from California… I'm an American, and it's a little annoying to have to get a visa to go to Brazil, but look at how lucky we are! Most places in the world we don't need one. My husband is Colombian and he can't go anywhere without a visa, and they all cost more than $100. It SUCKS. Even though he's married to a US citizen, he's been denied a visa. THAT is something to complain about. So get over it, pay your $100, and enjoy Brazil!
November 20th, 2009
We have been waiting for a Brazilian Visa since Oct. 6 when we submitted the high fees, paperwork, photos, etc. and had planned to leave for Brazil on Nov. 22, in two days. We used an agency called "Pinnacle" which had been recommended by the Cruise Line we are using. If we don't get the Visa tomorrow, we can't go. We have had to get visas for Russia, China, and Cuba and have never been treated this way. Last time we try to go to this country!!

Has anyone had any trouble extending their tourist visas in Brazil? I'm a US citizen in Buenos Aires, AR. I'm told I'm only granted a 30 day visa since I am applying from Buenos Aires, as opposed to the 90 day if I was in NY. I'm trying to commit to 90 days in Brazil, but I'm curious about the extension process. I would assume it wouldn't be an issue as Americans are usually granted 90 day visas.
thanks all!

i just went to brasilean consulate in buenos aires… and here is the easy loop hole:
they do not keep a copy of your banking, airline, or hotel. .they just want to see you booked it, and then they accept the application with picture. end of story
when you present your hotel and round trip airfare it is okay to just print out a reservation, and you dont have to show you have paid for it. my friend provided a print out and removed the part of payment required just in case.. and they accepted it also. for both a round trip on Gol and 1 night at a hotel in brasil. So it seems like they really dont care about this issue outside of usa.. and its just a formality.. since in truth it is a waste of time for most american, canadian and aussies that are not trying to remain in the country and work.. which is quite common for many south americans in usa and other countries where they earn a higher salary.
yet i agree that its apples and oranges to try to compare these countries to these other ones due to simple economics but cest la vie.
anyways, hope this helps since many round the world travellers like myself are doing it by land and spontaneous..and these restrictions are a royal pain. at least argentina does not ask for such.. and only solution to avoiding 131 fee upon flying in to buenos aires is to fly to montevideo and take the boat across..and avoid airport .. there is no such fee by land or boat.

I´m a brazilian woman who had a visa denied yesterday.
My sister has been living in the US for almost 10 years and it makes it impossible for me to get a visa. USA authorities think the rest of the world is dying to live "the american dream". They probably think that because my sister lives there I want to do the same which is completely nonsense because I loooooove my country. I have a good job, have an apartment, my children study here and my whole family live here, but it was not enough to prove them that I have strong bonds to Brazil.
The american consul who talked to me was very rude and treated me with disrespect looking down on me and my son. I hated it. You should know how brazilians are treated in your consulate before complaining about our embassy in your country. For what you have told here, it´s a lot easier to get a visa to Brasil than it is for us to get a visa to your country.
Not to mention the fact that I got there at 8:30 am and left at 1:00 pm!!!! A complete disrespect and disorganization.
It was the second and last time I tried it.

I am glad that Brazil is sticking it to the USA. Its about time. However, this policy is bad for the brazilian tourism industry. How many Americans, like myself, are choosing to skip brazil and go to argentina instead? I plan on spending a lot of money and I will be spending it in argentina bc brazil makes it too difficult to get a visa.
July 27th, 2010
Im very proud of my country but at the same time sad. :/ my boyfriend who is american had his fucking visa dennied today because, according to the consul, he doesnt have enough money to support himself for 90 days. i`m so maaaad! he was supposed to live in my house all that time, he would have food, bed and every little thing but we wont give up…BUT i`m SURE i`ll have to go through the same thing(even worse),when I try to go to USA…i was told american consulates are much worse. they treat brazilians in an impolite way and all that. he got fucked up,but i know i will too hahaahah. w are just getting you back, americans! now i can say WE ARE EVEN!:P thats pretty fair!

matthew, maybe for now the USA may be the "most desireable" but if their economy continues to fuck up for a whole generation (like Japan's has been since the bubble burst of 1990) while the rest of the world gets better and better, there might be a two way flow of illegal migrants too! Even in my part of the world, our immigration department busts people for overstaying and my country even ain't that rich. Besides I have NO PLANS to live in the USA at all!
More interestingly, I heard in a poll that up to a third of Gen-Y Americans are open to living abroad now! And I think that number will rise even more sooner than later, so suck it up! This is what we people in the Global South have to deal with all the time and NO COUNTRY stays on top forever! That's just life and the earlier you as well as your society accepts that, the better!

Brazilians live in denial and have a serious inferiority complex. If Brazil didn't have 1+ million Brazilians living in the USA after overstaying tourist/student visas, it wouldn't be so hard to get a Tourist Visa to the US! If you want to visit someone in either country on a tourist visa you are guaranteed to lose your application fee. That is smart of the US because a good percentage of Brazilians lie and end up moving in with the person they are "visiting", while the percentage of Americans who might do that is .0001%.

U.S. = 1st World
Brazil = 3rd World
Comparing Brazil to the U.S. is crazy. Brazil is a nice vacation spot but Americans are not trying to illegally immigrate there. However, many 3rd world countries try to access the 1st world and "controls" must be in place or everyone would over stay their visas. The U.S. currently has 11 million illegals. How many illegals are living in Brazil? Exactly……….. think about it. I moved to Brazil and it was HELL to get a permanent visa here. I was treated like a terrorist to live in the 3rd world. I miss home and regret moving here. I can't wait to go back to an organized country where people know how to drive and obey the law in general. Again, it's a nice place to visit but don't even think about trying to move here. It's NOT worth it.

There are several illegal immigrants in Brazil, especially from Bolivia and China. There have been American lawbreakers trying to hide in Brazil in the past as well, so Americans don't quite have the best reputation down there… There's also a silent understanding among Brazilians in that they all think that Americans are the most arrogant ppl on the planet, they just won't say it to your face. Usage of passé 1st/3rd world labels further reinforce that stereotype.
You were given hell when trying to get a permanent visa b/c you are American, and America treats Brazilian immigrants like total and absolute shit. I once met a Brazilian girl who was detained and strip searched in the airport when they found out she had a sister who's a permanent resident (they thought she was trying to immigrate with a tourist visa.) The girl was in medical school in Brazil, and I'm sure that after passing one of the hardest entrance exams in the university system which guarantees a totally FREE M.D., she wouldn't throw it away to become a maid in the US so she can buy an iPad for half the cost. She was so traumatized she said she'd never visit her sister again. The Brz. government isn't oblivious to what goes on and they are just acting out of reciprocity.
As for your situation, there is so much variety/diversity in Brazil, I'm sure if you were to travel around the country you'd find areas much more pleasing than where you are. The list of Brazilian states by Human development index is further proof that standards vary - That's also b/c Brazil is a federation, with states enacting certain laws/regulations which differ from others. It's the same in the US. For example, Bahia isn't my cup of tea, I'd probably hate living there - but I love certain parts of Rio and I love the South. Try Barra in Rio, or Porto Alegre/Florianopolis/Blumenau in the south. Look at a list of best cities by Exame or Veja magazines. You can have the good and bad wherever you are. I once lived in a small city in Louisiana which was a TOTAL DUMP, then had to live in Norfolk which, aside from downtown, was architecturally hideous, and overall very depressing. I'm now in California and feel like I'm in a completely different country. My standard of living is a lot better in Cali and the urban landscape 100% different than that of Larose, LA.
More importantly, change your perspective.

O Brasil deveria ter mais com o que se preocupar! O povo, com um ar de "vingancinha", "despeito", pensa que está dando o troco nos EUA por pedir o visto para entrar no Brasil também! Não entendem que tamanha burocracia para entrar nos EUA, dá-se porque, nós, brasileiros, já somos estatisticamente mais de dois milhões de imigrantes ilegais nos Estados Unidos da América! Portanto, é natural que um país de primeiro mundo queira tentar barrar ou diminuir a possibilidade de imigrações ilegais em seu país. Se fosse o contrário, também faríamos a mesma coisa! Mas não temos condições decentes de saúde, educação, saneamento 'BÄSICO, emprego no nosso próprio país, então porque nos preocupar que um estrangeiro quisesse morar nessa porcaria??? Salvo raríssimas exceções! Por que eles não pedem visto para europeu? Porque europeu mora bem e não viaja pra imigrar! Por que pedem visto para brasileiros e outros países subdesenvolvidos? Porque MUUIIIITA gente vai como quem vai passear e fica pra morar! Simples! Não condeno os EUA! Morei lá e sei quantos brasileiros também moram na busca de uma vida melhor, que, diga-se de passagem, O seu próprio país-Brasil, não ^pode proporcionar com seus governantes corruptos enchendo a meia e as cuecas de dinheiro. Ao invés de nos unirmos a Cuba, Venezuela, Bolívia, Irã, deveríamos nos unir a quem presta, e diga-se de passagem, é casa para milhões de brasileiros que buscam uma vida digna! More primeiro nos EUA e volte pra cá p verem a merda que é o Brasil. Infelizmente, nasci aqui, só posso ficar aqui… pena.

@Mike from New York - You better read more the papers nowadays, my friend. There's no such a thing like 3rd world. Brazil is one of the richests countries in the world. We grew up 7.5% last year and our unemployment rate is now about 6%, while the US rate is almost 10%. Besides, our bank system is more modern then yours and also our health care is way better and 100% FREE. I lived LEGALLY in USA to improve my English skills for one year and I know what I am talking about. We also have immigration issues over here, but we have to keep our reciprocity policy with the rest of the world. You should wake up and see that US is not the center of the planet anymore. You guys are not the "big boss". Actually in a couple of years, the BRIC's countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are going to exceed the G7 in 20 years. This four countries will be richer then the seven richest today. In 2050, they'll be TWICE RICHER. So, I am sorry but I hope we keep our visa need to americans.
@Amanda - Como podes dizer que o teu país é uma merda? Já citei vários dados acima. Também morei nos EUA e voltei pra cá, sim. Voltei feliz e certo de que estamos, hoje, em melhores condiçoes do que os países 'desenvolvidos'. É a nossa hora, o nosso momento. Empreendedores no Brasil ganham mais dinheiro que lá fora. Bem ou mal o SUS te oferece todos os tratamentos, de uma consulta a um transplante de rins. Nossa comida é mais barata e com mais qualidade. Aposto que nunca comias carne enquanto moraste nos EUA, pois sabes bem o preço que é. Por favor, te conscientiza que somos sim um excelente país e que somente quando nós, brasileiros, perdemos nosso sentimento de escória do mundo é que seremos, de fato, grandes.

Illegals in America:
I actually know Brazilians who have moved to the US under tourist or temporary work visas, and they are still here today. Now that I live in Miami, I would not be shocked to meet more illegal South Americans (I'm at 5 already in my first two months here).
The claim by one person for Brazil is that the economy is doing well and so forth, but the actuality is that the growth is irrelevant when you look at a per capita basis. Most of Brazil makes less than 7000 USD per year. In order for Brazil to get to the US per capita of 48000 in 2010, wages would need to grow at 7.5% annually (no more currency defaults like in 2000 and must grow in real terms) for around 27 years straight. The math is 7000 * (1.075^27)~48000. By 2038 time, the US will probably be above 75000 per capita (2% growth per year) and Brazilians will still want to move here illegally.
Now that I am getting on a plane to go to Brazil for business to look to invest over $100 million in that economy over the next 2 years, I will be super thrilled to go stand in line and wait 5 days for a visa with no expedite fee available. I would gladly show my big bank accounts and other information if they had an expedite form or system.
In addition to this red tape, you should look at how crazy airline taxes are to fly to Brazil versus Peru from the US, likewise look at flying to Brazil through a third country such as Chile and how much that saves in taxes on your ticket. This red tape coupled with extreme income disparity issues in Brazil (high Gini coefficient for those who are technical) mean that Brazil is shooting themselves in the foot, but their natural wealth saves them from bleeding to death. As a comparison China is now very easy to get visas and it is next day for less money than a Brazilian visa, and you can pay in cash in the consulate in HK in dollars. India's visa application is all online and by mail for less than 50 dollars.
All poor countries (per capita) should remember these numbers when they get annoying about visas.
In any case, I'm looking forward to country number 70, and I hope that Brazil is worth the trouble my company puts into it.

The US *and* Brazilian governments are both wrong-headed on the tourist visa issue.
I'm sorry that the US government (*not* the people) treats international tourists so badly, but that's no excuse for other countries to punish ordinary US citizens who want to travel (and *spend their money*) overseas.
I won't travel to any countries that require a tourist visa in advance. I applaud Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay for not engaging in this silliness!
December 7th, 2012
Unfortunately, the more difficult a country makes it for someone to visit it, not only do they lose more money that they could've made through tourism, but they also lose money from people who want to invest money into the country (not nececssarily move there).
Also, Americans who have passports and travel tend to have passports and travel because they don't like the United States (or at least don't have the "we're the besterest in da world" mentality that most Americans, especially the ones that write and enfore the laws, have).
Reciprocity is sort of like targeting a slave owner's runaway slave because the slave owner decided to make everyone that visited his house (or plantation) do some preposterous thing or other (like wear chains or something).
It's just ridiculous, and counter productive. It's horrible. But, well, being as it's not very intelligent, I suppose that's what makes it a human thing to do… :-p

Law Enforcement Pushing for Marijuana Law Changes
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Law enforcement officials are pushing for changes to Rhode Island's medical marijuana law to address public safety issues they attribute to the program.
The attorney general's office says marijuana cultivation under the program has created safety risks and a "new class of crime victim." Authorities say growers have become the targets of break-ins and assaults.
Legislation under consideration would reduce the number of allowable plants, require a cultivation certificate for growers, institute national criminal background checks for caregiver applicants and allow police to more easily verify whether someone is authorized to grow.
The Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition says the bill cuts the number of plants too much and jeopardizes patients' access to medicine. Executive Director JoAnne Leppanen says most in the program follow the rules.

Libya Fighting at Bani Walid Continues Into Fourth Day
Fighting continued for a fourth day in the Libyan town of Bani Walid, which the army said has become a haven for holdout loyalists of former dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
Army units backed by militias from towns such as Misrata and Zlitan have been blockading the town since September 25, when Libya's parliament, the National Congress, issued a decree authorizing security forces to enter the town and arrest individuals accused of a series of kidnappings.
Thick black smoke was visible today rising from the town as fighting continued despite a 48-hour-truce declared in the morning by Army Chief of Staff Youseff Mangoush. The truce declaration was reported by Al Jazeera television, with army spokesman Mohammed El Gandus saying it was being organized to allow civilians to flee the town, 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli.
"All the families are still here, nobody decided to leave," a town official, Abdul Salem Al Fukahi, said in a telephone interview. "They will stay in their homes and live or die."
Army and militia forces have set up camps along a highway south of the town, and are moving into position Soviet-era tanks and 155 millimeter howitzers.
El Gandus said yesterday that several hundred Qaddafi loyalists are in the town, and they face jail if captured.
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the death of Qaddafi, who was captured by rebel forces at Sirte, his birthtown, on Oct. 20, 2011, and died in circumstances that remain in dispute.

what kined off good wheel cleaner will clean my alloys i have some kined off yelow browny stuff on them and carnt get it off
what kined off good wheel cleaner will clean my alloys i have some kined off yelow browny stuff on them and carnt get it off
Bilberry wheel cleaner is really good and safe on the alloy, I get mine from valetpro.co.uk
I still use the old wonder wheels!!!!
I found some in my dads shed and it brings them up a treat!!!!
Bilberry didnt work for me. found it very poor.
wonder wheels done the job withing sec's and yes its acid but its never done my alloys harm.........
wonder wheels win hands down imo because it works 98% of the time
Have a word with Mark at Autobritedirect, our forum vendor. I use Very Cherry from him, non-acidic, it's the first cleaner I have used that is anywhere near as good as the devils spawn that is wonder wheels.
I use a product called virosol and it can be dilute to 10-50%
Its not anywhere near as harsh as wonder wheels which will through time eat into the wheel lacquer but the key thing is to minimise the contact time on the wheels image.jpg
If you have yellow staining then wonder wheels is probably the best at removing it, but use this product with caution. As others have said it is acidic and if continually used will ruin the finish of your rims.
Very Cherry is a good product too, but your wheels do need to be in a reasonable condition first. Use this after you've got your rims the way you want them with wonder wheels.

'Lost' Actor Marries Aspiring Singer Who's 16 [VIDEO]
I heard about this last night and had to do a double take. 'Lost' actor Doug Hutchinson who is 51 married an aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden who is 16 in Las Vagas in May. They are not hiding the fact that he is 35 years older than her. He says they are in love and love is ageless, even her parents don't have any problems with the marriage.

Q&A: Hothead's Evenson Details
Penny Arcade Adventures
September 10, 2007 | By Brandon Sheffield, Staff
September 10, 2007 | By Brandon Sheffield, Staff
Post A Comment
At this year's PAX festival in Seattle, Hothead Games announced that
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness
, a downloadable episodic adventure game series based on the popular web-comic,
will debut on Xbox Live
in early 2008.
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One
is the first title in the planned series
announced last year
initially for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Gamasutra spoke with Hothead's Darren Evenson, lead designer of
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One
, to get all the details.
So the game's release will be episodic, correct?
Yes, it is. It will be episodic, and available for digital download before the end of the year.
How are you distributing it?
It will be online at our site. We'll make it available shortly. That will be the way by which you'll get all the episodes.
You're not going through GameTap or Steam or anything? You're doing it yourselves? Or are you not sure yet?
Yeah, exactly. I think they're investigating all possibilities right now. All I can confirm at this moment is the site that we'll have.
The character creation system looked impressive, since it translates your 3D character into 2D [for in-game cutscenes]. How did you go about doing that?
You might want to ask our tech guy. He sprinkled the magic sauce. I believe it's, for every asset we have in 3D, we also have a 2D component representation of it. As you select the pieces that comprise your character, it will also choose those 2D elements. It's definitely been a big challenge to get into the game, but I think it's one of the strongest features that the Penny Arcade fans will love.
Yeah, it seems like it would be pretty time-consuming.
Absolutely. But it's definitely worth it.
How long has the development process been for this? It seems like there's a lot of very specific detail.
Definitely. We've been talking with Mike and Jerry -- Gabe and Tycho -- for about a year now, and they've been involved from the very beginning. Obviously, they're in charge of the story, and Jerry does all the writing for every piece of text you'll see. Mike does all the concept work and some of the art in the game, and approves everything. We've been at it for a year now, and we'll have episode one out before the end of this year.
At their Q&A, Mike mentioned that it took a really long time to get the look right, and they felt really bad for you guys, because they kept bothering you and trying to make it different. But it does seem to be pretty close to the right feeling now. A lot of that is how it looks, but a lot of it is also how it animates. It animates how you would imagine they would. How much tuning was involved?
I think the real magic involved in any video game comes with iterations. Obviously, when we released our first trailer, there were a lot of skeptics out there that were upset. But that was the state of the game at that point, and we knew that we still had a ways to go, but we wanted to share a glimpse of what we were working on. With every iteration comes giant strides in the right direction, and if you find that it's in the wrong direction, we get that feedback and can adjust accordingly. But that all comes from iterations, over and over.
You've got a point-and-click interface with RPG-type battles. What was the inspiration for that? Why did that come about, from a design standpoint?
Last summer, we had actually conducted a survey on the Penny Arcade site, scanning the PA fans for what some of their favorite games were. RPGs, especially. A lot of them mentioned some of the old-school RPGs from the early to mid-90s, so that's what we based our RPG elements off of. As far as the adventure gameplay, that's a great way to tell a story, and we're fortunate enough to have Ron Gilbert involved with the adventure-making of our game. He's been involved since last summer. We've been very fortunate to have his help.
How did he get involved?
He just contacted the company, and he said that he liked what we were doing. We replied instantly, since Ron Gilbert has been doing a lot of consulting work, and we took him up on that right away. It's been absolutely amazing.
He seems to be all over the place with those episodic games nowadays.
Yeah, definitely.
The transition from adventure to RPG seems pretty seamless. It's not a big mental stretch. Did you have to work on that, to integrate the gameplay systems?
It really came together quite nicely, especially for the storytelling aspect of it. It really seemed to meld together quite well. It's neither a hardcore RPG with a thousand stats and customizations - so it's approachable to everyone, and the adventure gameplay is not a hardcore point-and-click pixel-hunter adventure game, either. It's just a great blending of the two that lets Mike and Jerry tell their story.
It almost seems like it's more a vehicle for telling a story than a game that's meant to challenge and confound you.
Was that something that they really wanted to happen?
I think it's something everyone wanted. Obviously, this is geared towards the PA fans, first and foremost, because they helped define what the genre was going to be. Mike and Jerry know their fans better than everyone. I think as long as Mike and Jerry like it, the PA fans will like it, and they're not going to release it unless they like it.
In terms of what types of things you can customize, can you change out your weapons, or can you choose any kinds of stats or anything?
The stats themselves are hard-coded, so there's no selecting if your strength goes up more than your toughness. But you can upgrade weapons, so in any given episode you'll have a few weapons to select from, each one obviously doing more damage. We're going to try and continue that throughout the entire series.
It seems like Tycho is the most powerful character - is that going to be consistent throughout? You can't decide if you want Gabe to be more powerful because you like him more?
That's right. The stats are whatever they're intended to be on our side, but as far as some of the characters being more powerful than others, we'll definitely be tuning the weapons and the special attacks they get, so you'll get some variety. The tradeoff is that Tycho takes longer for his initiative to fill, so he'll do more damage, but you'll have to wait a longer time for him.
That makes sense. How many different team attacks and things do you have?
Every combination - so, every combination of two or all three characters. You can do a three-way team-up attack with devastating results.
What were the main inspirations on the RPG front, in terms of working out the battle system?
Again, looking back at the older styles. So, looking at the
Final Fantasy
series -- the earlier ones -- and
Chrono Trigger
. Those ones. They definitely had a lot of influence on our combat style, for sure.
Was the steampunk theme brought about by Jerry and Mike?
Absolutely. I think they've actually had this story in their heads for a long time, and they're finally getting a chance to do it. In that aspect, it's very exciting, because they've obviously put a lot of thought into the depth of the story and the relationship of all the characters. So it's really exciting, and doing it episodically will allow us to try and make it more like a TV series, where there's cliffhangers at the end of one episode, and continuing a story arc over all the episodes.
Are you looking to prove to people that episodic games are the way to go? You've got a real ready-made group of people that are going to rabidly consume this.
I think episodic is definitely an untapped way of the future as far as video games go. Certain people are getting into it. Telltale's been doing it very successfully with the Sam & Max series, and so they're definitely the pioneers. We hope we're right in there after them. I think you're going to see a lot more delivered episodically, because it's a digestible chunk of gameplay for an affordable price, is easy to get -- like easy access, because you can download it -- it's very simple to get.
Telltale did a postmortem for Game Developer, for
Sam & Max
. They were talking about how one of the things they learned was that it's very hard to be one team working on two episodes simultaneously, because you have to get the next episode ready while you're working on the first one. In addition, if you want to share assets and stuff, you have to really carefully plan it. How have you been working with that?
It's definitely a new model for us. I don't know how the Telltale guys do it, but they release an episode every month. To me, that's just crazy, but they do it, and they do it very well. I think the first episode is always going to be the hardest, because that's where you're starting from scratch, but you can build momentum as you go. There's definite overlap within the episodes. Before we finish Episode One, we're already going to be working on Episode Two. It's not going to be every month that we release an episode like Telltale's doing, but it won't be every year, either, like what Valve was doing. They have a lot more content, so it's justifiable. Hopefully, we'll try and do it every three or four months or so.
So you haven't worked out a specific, set timeframe?
We have an idea of what we're trying. I guess the proof is in the pudding. We'll have to wait, mainly because it's new for us. After we do it a couple of times and get comfortable with the model, I'm sure it'll flow a lot easier.
Are you sharing assets between episodes?
Are you taking any precautions to make sure that, if you have to change an asset that's used throughout, that that can be populated throughout every episode?
Yeah. We actually are beginning work on Episode Two, so we're very aware of what assets we want to reuse, but not necessarily just reuse. They also should be slightly modified so that it feels like they're growing with the story or changing a little more dynamically. So everything will need touch-ups going forward, but definitely we're trying to reuse everything from characters and environments to items.
Will your custom-created character be consistent throughout?
Absolutely. The character you make in Episode One will be carried forward to Episode Two with all the items and stats that you had gained in Episode One, but we're also making it approachable to someone jumping in. If they didn't buy Episode One and just got Two, they will be able to have a character that is not starting at scratch, because they'd get slaughtered in this new world. There will be a default character that will be powerful enough to handle it, but definitely the advantage will go to the player that bought the first episode.
And will they be able to change their character at all from episode to episode, in terms of visuals?
Definitely. They will be able to revisit the create-a-player and modify them with additional clothing or parts, if you get into armor, or any items that might modify the character in that way.
Anything else you want to say about this game or the process right now?
We're just very excited to be working with Mike and Jerry on this. Obviously, we know that we're under the microscope. It's kind of like the movie critic making the movie, because everyone's going to be hard on it. While we're expecting that and bracing ourselves for it, ultimately we're just going to make a game that is going to be entertaining and fun to the Penny Arcade fans first and foremost, but try and make it approachable to everyone else. Hopefully, people will just take it for what it is, and have a good time and enjoy it.
The skepticism may not be too severe, because it's obviously funny already. As long as you've got that, you can always say, "At least it's funny."
That's right. Exactly. With those guys doing the story and all the writing, you can't not be funny.
The interface and all that looked pretty solid, but it's a formula that you certainly could fuck up
And rest assured, even as good as it looks, we're still striving to make improvements as we go. We want to make this as polished as we can, and as intuitive to the player and as easy to get into as you can.

My database: panel data (unbalanced), 1200 firms, 8 variables.
First, I need to calculate the median value of a given variable (es.
var1), year-by-year. Then, I would divide firms evenly into three groups
according to their value in each year, I mean firms residing in the
low-, middle- and high- var1 group. Could anybody tell me the commands I
need to use? Thank you very much in advance for any illustrative
It is not clear to me how computing a median allows you to divide anything into three groups. Perhaps if you would state exactly how you would like to define low, medium, high in statistical terms it would be possible to propose an exact solution.

"It's all going through as planned, just taking longer for them to sort out the info for their website etc," says Jack Byrne from the Human Rights Commission, which has been facilitating community feedback on the issue.
"It's important to have the info available to make sure it runs smoothly no matter what Passports office you go to in New Zealand," he explains.
The new policy will mean applicants who provide a witnessed Statutory Declaration with their passport application, outlining their circumstances, can advise the gender identity they wish to be displayed in their passport.
It would also allow intersex people to choose whether they want to have M, F or X on their passport.
Byrne says any trans or intersex people who need a new passport with their new sex on it urgently can email Julie Watson at the Human Rights Commission (email@example.com), who can put them in touch with the Internal Affairs staff member dealing with urgent requests.

Skandera seeks $140 million increase for schools
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Secretary of Education-designate Hanna Skandera is urging lawmakers to support a funding increase of about $140 million for public schools in fiscal [auth] year 2014.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports (http://bit.ly/ZfBHAB) that the Public Education Department's request includes $20 million to purchase about 250 new school buses.
Skandera proposes investing $13.5 million in new money in early-childhood reading initiatives, such as hiring regional reading coaches.
Another $11 million would be directed to pre-kindergarten programs.
Skandera says the Public Education Department needs extra money to help improve the state's graduation rate, raise academic achievement, and reward the state's most effective teachers and school leaders.

VHS hell: Top Rock
The year was 1986, and music videos where the thing. Sensing a bandwagon waiting to be jumped on somebody over at Hanna-Barbera decided to license a few top 40 hits and drag some cartoon footage outta the morgue and give the kids what they wanted. Which was apparently a half hour of really poorly edited and painfully unimaginative crap. In fact this tape is so bad you can't even really enjoy it for it's inept badness. It's that unrelentingly bad. This is a, "Great Party Tape" only if you needed something to drive away party guests who've overstayed their welcome.
I don't remember exactly, but I think this is the tape that Dave played selections from at Japanese Animation Hell at AWA a few years back. I'm not certain because I think my mind has tried desperately to forget as a coping mechanism.

Most of the citizen of Rajasthan start their breakfast with the Kachoris, Its not only famous among jodhpur people but appeal to the palate of the tourists. A visit to Rajasthan would be wasted without a bite of its spicy Pyaz ki Kachori.
Steaming hot pyaz ki kachoris or aloo pyaz ki kachoris are sold at most namkeen shops in Rajasthan. Very few households actually prepare these crisp, flaky deep fried kachoris stuffed with a lightly caramalised and exceptionally seasoned onion filling.
Like all kachoris, they are eaten with a sweet and spicy tamarind chutney.

Tomorrow my brother in law and I are going to Centralia. I live about 45 minutes away from Centralia and was only there once or twice when I was younger. I probably wasn't any older then 10 years old last time I went. I think we just drove by and stopped for a minute. I was always intrigued about the stories I herd growing up. Seems like science fiction in a way. And I loved how some people refused to leave. I don't know if anyone actually still lives there or not, but years ago I herd there were 1 or 2 people (families?) still there.
I have a few questions:
Are you allowed to walk down the street through Centralia? I know they have warning signs there. But I don't know if it is against the law? I want to go and take pictures and investigate around a little bit. I also do not want to fall to my death if the ground opens up and swallows me whole. If anyone does still live there do you think they would talk to me and answer questions for me? So how safe is it to walk around and investigate (providing its legal) I also will take some pictures and share them with you when I get back

May Allah Subhana wa Ta' ala grant the Shuhada Jannatul Firdaus, and ease it for their families, loved ones and anyone around them. Allahumma Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen. ' Inna Lillahi wa ' Inna ' Ilayhi Raji'un, Allahu Akbar
* The list of shuhada does not display, the numerous victims of the zionist occupation which are undocumented by media. Nor it displays the victims of the "silent onslaught" due to restrictions of movement, ability to go to hospitals for treatment or life saving surgery, due to lack of medication because of the blockades and so on. For example: The Slow Motion Genocide by the Siege on Gaza only, killed 600 patients since Gaza got under Israeli Siege.
For an overview of All Israeli Massacres Palestinians go here
Neither does this list, display the avoidable mortality. A clear and statistical factual evidence, about the number of deaths due to indecent ruling by occupation forces. For even an occupier has obligations under International Laws, Geneva Convention and the Hague regulations, which it is neglecting. These circumstances, together with deliberate policies of the occupier to neglect and even deny every basic human right, severes avoidable mortality which is totally silenced by media or reporting organisations. While in the Holocaust, 1 on 6 Jewish people directly died of deliberate neglect, so if we believe the facts over 1 million due to avoidable mortality, neither should these same circumstances be ignores which are ongoing in Palestine. For this report displays a avoidable morality of at least 0,5 million Palestinians.
How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all.

Injustice continues with total complicity of silence: A boy burned to death and his sister and mother were seriously injured when a candle ignited their room in Bureij refugee camp as they were sleeping amid a severe crisis of electricity and fuel in the coastal enclave Gaza Strip.
Over the past 6 six years, the 1.7 million Palestinians living in Gaza suffer constant electricity cut as Israel tights the illegal blockade keep preventing the industrial fuel entry to the enclave Strip, or hardly permit certain quantities to entre. This situation has left Palestinian to rely on the light of candles and other dangerous alternatives to manage their daily life needs.
Today, in the morning, AlBaghdadi family from Bureij refugee camp is not the first family, and will not be the last in Gaza to lose their sons in such terrific way as candle ignited in their house due…

Is humour an ancient human practice or a modern concept? Opinions differ – but either way, humour communicates something fundamental about society and what it means to be human. The Czech writer Milan Kundera describes it as a divine flash of lightning that exposes how morally ambiguous the world is, and how profoundly unsuited man is to judge others. Musical humour follows the cultural development of humour in many ways, and the programme "The Early Joke" presents a kind of mirror of humour through the ages.
From the Renaissance onward, a large quantity of music directly connected to the carnival is known – jesting dances and, perhaps more surprisingly, a considerable number of grotesque texts accompanied by music that does not, as in the pieces by Lassus, Willaert, and Gabrieli, differ noticeably from more serious compositions. The frenzied leave-taking of all things wordly before lent – "carne vale" – had its roots in the Dionysian feasts of ancient Greece, the Roman saturnalia that turned the social order upside-down, and the Christian festival of fools. The church, instead of trying to stop it, condoned the madness, feeling that it was easier to control licentious and subversive tendencies by allowing them for a brief and limited period of time. The old traditions, built on pagan rituals, were used as a safety valve through which inherent human folly could be vented. The carnival can be regarded as a two-pronged experience, in which laughter becomes an essential, liberating part of life, at the same time confirming its serious and melancholy nature.
17th century Europe suffered a constant onslaught of war, plague, and invasions.In 1673, Biber composed his "Battalia", depicting different scenes before, during, and after a battle. Dedicating it to the god of wine, Bacchus, he employed a wide variety of humorous and experimental devices highlighting his ridicule of harsh everyday reality – with a sardonic grin.
The 18th century, in its turn, brought the Enlightenment and the emergence of a new kind of author, "the wit". The composer Telemann wrote music in a similarly quick-witted spirit, and clever musical comments on scenes well known to the audience abound in the "Don Quixote" suite as well as in the "Schulmeister" cantata.
Alcohol and humour have always been connected, and few places have seen more playing, drinking, singing, dancing, boasting and toasting than the English alehouses and taverns. Around the mid-seventeenth century, many of them were converted into so called "musick-houses", functioning as combined concert and drinking venues. A lot of humorous music has been composed for and performed in these public houses – or pubs, where composers like Purcell were frequent guests. It was also the English alehouse that saw the beginning of the "catch" tradition, where three or four lines of a song are given to different groups to sing and put together like a canon. Only when all the parts sing together is the song's true – bawdy – meaning revealed.
P.D.Q. Bach is the twenty-first of Johann Sebastian's twenty sons, according to American professor Peter Schieckele. He "discovered" P.D.Q. (which can also stand for "pretty damn quick") in the 1960's and has occupied himself with this "forgotten" member of the Bach family ever since. "Iphigenia in Brooklyn" parodies the rules and conventions of the baroque cantata, and "Eine kleine Nichtmusik" is a brilliant lesson in musical humour: in timing and the interplay of musical texts.
The programme "The Early Joke" has been put together by Bjarte Eike especially for Stockholm Early Music Festival 2011 and was presented by Barokksolistene and I Fagiolini.

She already knew how to handle small objects and some simple shapes, and put them where I told her, but this complicated articulation was beyond my imagination.

I'm very proud of my girl Kali :wub:
You should be proud, that is awesome. My dog would just eat the pieces :D
This is why they call the GSD the Einstein of the dog world! Very smart dog.
Thank you :) first time I saw how determined she is when she tries to put her ball between my hip and arm rest (only few inches wide), I decided to harness that :D and learn her to do more complicated stuff.

Brooks, Flores Sign With Bulls
By USF
Related Links
The signees adds even more talent to USF's already-strong signing class, which included Portugal guard Laura Ferreira and Denmark guard Maria Jesperson during the fall signing period.
"I thought one area we needed to improve on for next year is the point guard spot, and I think we did that with Brooks and Flores," head coach Jose Fernandez said. "We addressed a need at the wings with Jesperson and Ferreira in the fall, and now we added the point guards to the mix. I think all four are going to compete for playing time."
A former teammate of Bulls' guard Ariadna Pujol, Flores joins the team with some familiarity of USF's offense. Flores played with Pujol on the 18 and under Spanish National Team, leading Spain to a gold medal with Pujol last summer.
Flores is tabbed as a true scoring point guard, with the ability to hit from beyond the arc, or penetrate and finish around the rim. Flores' ball-handling skills and passing fit the mold of a strong point guard option, with the speed to help USF push the ball in transition.
Earning first team All-American honors in both years as a junior college player, Brooks joins the Bulls as an immediate impact point guard. Brooks was named North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a freshman and sophomore, averaging 18.6 points and 7.0 assists per game at Weatherford College.
"I like how well Laia shoots the ball, making her able to play a combo guard spot as well as the point guard role," Fernandez said. "Having played and had success with Ariadna helps as well, in terms of familiarity."
Brooks is ranked No. 1 nationally at the point guard position by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, and was named the third-best overall player among junior college prospects. Brooks led her team to a 21-4 record in 2013-14, reaching the second round of the NJCAA Tournament.
"Bre has been an All American the last few years, and she's played in big games against college-caliber players," Fernandez said. "She brings a great deal of experience to our team."

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

1/1 scale BEAMS x Pokémon Pikachu plush
This amazing plush was released in late 2014, but it is modeled after the early chubby Pikachu design. The special feature of this Pikachu is that it's not only 1/1 scale size-wise, but it is also the same weight as a Pikachu would be if it was real! That means this plush weighs around 13.2 lbs, or 6.0 kg. It's pretty funny to hand this plush to people without warning them, they're always super surprised by just how heavy it is! It comes with its own carrying bag.

Wow! I can't believe this happened in Pokemon
I'm Mion's IRL friend writing this in her place since she is currently in hospital and now homeless. (For her own safety and privacy I cannot state the reasons she is currently in hospital, but once she leaves she has nowhere to live.)
If you do not know Mion, she is a mixed (non white passing), autistic and mentally ill (all diagnosed) 17 year old who has been suffering from abuse that has only gotten more severe as time has went on.
The last few months, she's been trying to save up money to leave her abusive household but unfortunately she has been forced to leave before she could make enough money to get somewhere to live.
Mion has been forced to leave all of her personal items in her old household due to not having time to pack and no where to keep them safely. She only has her phone and phone charger with her (which we are using to keep in contact since I do not live locally to her.)
Right now we are trying our best to get as much money as we can to get Mion a place to stay when she leaves hospital.
Mion does take commissions through her deviantART but is unable to work on art until she has somewhere to live, however she has items for sale on redbubble and a patreon.
Any bit of money will help and would be truely appreciated. You can donate here or help by purchasing items from her redbubble or pledging to her on patreon. If you're interested in commissions, these are her prices and note her here. (Keep in mind that she can not work on them until she has a place to stay.)
if you can't donate, please reblog this to spread the word. thank you for reading

Telecon - Provenge, May 9. 2007
May 9, 2007
FDA: Keith Wonnacott
Dendreon: Elizabeth Smith
Ms. Smith called to inform me that Dendreon is interested in setting up a meeting to discuss how to resolve the CMC deficiencies that were identified in the complete response letter. She said that they plan on finishing their enrollment in the ongoing study later this year and would like to collect as much data as possible from that study to address our concerns as possible. I informed her that we would be happy to discuss with her the best way to address the deficiencies and assess how data from the ongoing study could be used. Ms. Smith also asked if there was any reason these deficiencies were not communicated during the review of the BLA. I informed her that we were not prepared to discuss them until late in the review cycle and so it was decided to include them in the CR letter rather than try to resolve them. However, I said that I thought the approach might have been different if the CMC deficiencies were the sole basis for the CR letter. She asked if there were any concerns with how Dendreon interacted with the FDA during this review cycle. I informed her that I felt there were very positive interactions between the FDA and Dendreon. Finally, she asked the basis for our review decisions and I informed her that I thought the review team did an excellent job of focusing on the science and the regulations to make their decisions.

Relentless dankness and a beardy, backwoods insularity are enough to hip you to the fact that not all is right with the Parker clan, a family of awful rituals. (For the especially slow, there's also a ladled-on score of ominous strings and multiple shots of meat being either ground or fried.) After their matriarch suffers an accidental death, their way of life is thrown into a tailspin. Who will prepare the meals? And even if you haven't seen the Mexican original, you wonder: Who will be the meals?
Anchoring the too-slow-mounting tension are Ambyr Childers and Julia Garner as teenage sisters born into a lifestyle they're just beginning to comprehend is wrong. Their solidarity becomes touching; you wish director Jim Mickle had more visual confidence to make their perspective our own. Alas, there's too much of a crusading doctor and a nosy lawman, breaking the claustrophobic spell. Outside of its cracked psychology (well conveyed by papa Bill Sage), We Are What We Are is horror leftovers, neither inedible nor piping hot.

text: My current racket is a Head FP Radical Tour. Over all I am very satisfied with it, however, our club pro recommends adding a lead strips along every side the handle (4 total.) He claims that this will make my shots "heavier" and will maintain the head speed. Any comments about this idea? How will it affect my wrist/elbow? Thank you in advance


text: I have a TiVo HD DVR TCD658000 which was working fine awhile ago; now, though, it no longer generates video output. When I power up the unit, the green power light comes on and the hard drive/drive fan starts. However, no video output is generated; the attached TV screen is black. There's no post/startup at all - just a black screen. Also, when I push the format button on the front of the unit, no format indicating lights light up; finally, when I use the TiVO remote, none of the lights flash on the front screen. I'd like to know what might be wrong with my TiVO and whether or not it's worthwhile fixing. The TiVO has a lifetime subscription. In case it matters, I used to have a hard drive expander attached to this unit - currently no hard drive expander is attached. I'm pretty sure that this isn't related but I thought I'd mention it. One last observation - upon closer inspection, it looks light the green power light is very rapidly flashing - it's not solidly lit. Might this be a power supply issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

There are a number of QROPS penalties which can be incurred if the pension transfer process goes against QROPS legislation.
The QROPS is managed by a trustee or administrator and they must ensure that all payments, within the first 5 years are within UK limits and HMRC are informed.
QROPS Penalties will be incurred if:
- A UK pension holder incurs a 55% tax penalty, on the excess of any UK pension funds transferred overseas, above the UK Lifetime Allowance
- If a pension holder accesses their pension before 55 an unauthorized payments tax penalty will be incurred
- If the UK pension holder receives greater than 30% of the transfer fund in the form of a lump sum, from the QROPS, within 10 years of transferring the pension a penalty will be incurred
The QROPS administrator has to report on any transfer made to another scheme within the reporting period. In this event, the receiving scheme has to be another QROPS.
If a offshore pension scheme regularly fails to follow HMRC legislation it may be removed from the HMRC authorised list.
For more information on these QROPS penalties and on setting up a QROPS scheme which will mitigate these risks please contact us here.

Proper placement for breaker panel in laundry room
I am going to be replacing our breaker panel and putting it in the laundry room. Washer will be on one side and dryer on the other side with full access to the panel.
Main reason is because the old panel was not wired properly and I would like the breaker panel in a more acceptable location current panel is in the corner of a bedroom above some built in cabinets between a closet next to a window. Hard to explain but you just about have to sit on the cabinets in the corner to see the panel. Home was built this way.
New location will allow me to just pull most of the wire back from the old panel to the new panel only leaving two circuits that I will have to run new wire to. And the rest are just in the laundry room. And it will allow my larger 250v loads to be very short runs.
My question is what are the clearance and requirements that I will have to meet using this location. This room will also have a furnace and electric tankless water heater. Basically making this room my mechanical room.
You need a 30 inch width in which the panel does not need to be centered. You also need a 36" depth. The door needs to be able to open 90 degrees.
Where will the new panel be fed from? :)
That should not be too hard to meet that requirement. I think the only thing I have to move is my washing machine water connections. They are right below where I want to put the panel.
The new panel will be fed from my garage. Using 2-1/2" conduit and 4/0-4/0-2/0-#2 AL wire. Mobile home so service can't be connected to the home.
And how do you plan on splicing all those wires so they can be extended?
Most like I said can be pulled and fed right into the new panel and if not long enough I will used junction boxes. But the circuits further away I will just run new wires to the first outlet or switch on the circuit. Everything in the laundry/utility room will just get all new wires and circuits since it's so close.

iPhone: Analysts and Reality
Live by the hype, die by the hype. Apple (AAPL) stock took a beating yesterday when AT&T announced that it had activated "only" 146,000 iPhones during the two days in June the wonderphone was for sale. By any reasonable standard, even any unreasonable standard, that was a phenomenal launch, working out to an annual rate of nearly 27 million units. But investors' expectations were so out of line with reality that they knocked $8.81 off the stock price. (A more meaningful test will come later today, when Apple reports earnings.)
The affair is reminiscent of the worst days of the dot-com bubble. Analysts, guided by little more than reckless enthusiasm, offer ridiculous predictions. In this case, Goldman Sachs took the prize with an estimate of 700,000 iPhone sales in the first weekend.
A word to the wise: Pay no attention to those folks behind the curtain. They know no more than you or I.
