Hey, I could really use some advice!
So I have a 76' Camaro 350 and all of the stupid exhaust control stuff is making me mad. I'm gonna pull the engine and rebuild it. So I was wondering if I got some new parts(intake manifold, etc...) I could eliminate the parts that are killing my horsepower. If I did get rid of these and rebuilt the engine would I still be able to pass emissions? Could I even do it? Should I just keep saving and buy a crate(sorry if I seem kinda ignorant I just turned 17 and don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff)?
hey buddy, you've come to the right place! Welcome aboard.
Why do you want to rebuild the motor? Is it all worn out? If I were you, that would be the last thing I would want to do because of cost and involvement. You may be able to freshen up the motor that's in there.
Furthermore, you can kill two birds with one stone if you have emissions requirements to worry about. Just buy the 50 state legal parts as upgrades. You can get headers and intakes, as well as carbs that will work with stock emissions stuff, that way you don't have to grit your teeth at the emissions checkup. You should gain some power too.
Lastly, for about 1500-2000 dollars you can rebuild the motor, for about 1/4 that you could upgrade your rear end gears and feel double the improvement.
Best of luck-
Tell ya what... look around this site and search for 350 build ups then go HERE and look over some of the combos. It will give you a good idea of the kinda power you can make.
If you really feel that you can do the work and such go ahead and get the parts. Changing intake, adding headers, new cam, carb., That kinda stuff you can do on your own. You can also very easily add heads.
If the engine is smoking or has lots of miles on it you may want to think about rebuilding the entire thing or going for the crate engine.
As for em. you can always run HI flow cats. It won't kill your power and you can pass em. without a problem. Or if you like you can make them removable and put straight pipes in after the test.
A few other thing to think about are the rest of the upgrades needed. I don't know what trans. is behind the negine now but if that is owrn or anything you may want to think about having that rebuilt or at least getting something that can hold up to what you put infront of it. New rear end gears will give you a great feeling at the wheel. You want to be careful that the rear can handle the power as well.
Thanks a lot both of you. I really don't need to rebuild the engine. I thought it might be fun. I don't think I'd ever finish if I had decided to. It only has 120,000 miles and it has been taken care of very well. I have a vacum leak and my airconditioning went out... thats really it. I like the idea of just getting a really good cat. cause the one thats on there right now is like the same size as the gas tank. Thanks again for your advice! I really appreciate it.
No problem,
Forgot to ask but I assumed that it had a carb. The one thing you can do is get air flowing in there. Add headers it is a pretty easy to do job even though it will be a tight fit. If you add headers and a free flowing exhaust you should be pretty good. Add a muffler and cat. I believe that the Camaro only fit single exhaust under it it went from headers to Y pipe and then single. You could get exhaust run that is mandrel bent. This should liven things up a bit and make your car sound much better. Next would be air cleaner if yours still has the black box air cleaner you may want to think about an open element one it makes things look a little better and should inprove air flow.
Oh yeah another question. Changing my rear end gears... Is that easy? Could I do it with out having to spend a ton of money(a ton of money for me is like anything over 800 or 900 dollars). Just to check by rear end gears you mean the ones in the differential...? Sorry... I'm really new to this whole "hot rod" thing. My dad knows what he is doing but he wont tell me anything unless my car absolutely isn't working.
My exhaust goes from the manifolds into one pipe which goes into the cat and then one pipe out the cat and into the muffler where it splits into 2.
i will disagree about the gears( as usual ). you dont need to do that, do you understand the positives how they happen, and the negatives?
go title and register the vehicle as antique. should cost about $20. then you never have to worry about emssions again. at least by me.
tear that junk off.....nicely. you can probaly remove the whole egr pipe. use a plate and plug to seal the holes.
i would start with headers and a aluminum intake. if you build the performer style package engine, you have a lot of room to make errors. low spring pressures and low compression are a easy turning happy mill. the sbc 350 is the perfect motor to learn on. i strongly suggest building it mildly. do everything yourself!
how fast are you looking to go 14's, 13's?...
strikingthematch that site has some very unusual combos. i like 78 . lol, 390hp with a 8.75:1 and the XE268.

HAHAHA I like it! It has a title right now though. One of the things I really want to get rid of is the EGR Valve? The thing that reuses the exhaust. I think thats just stupid. I deffinately agree I need to increase my airflow. My grandpa took off the cool air intake way back when the car was new. So it draws a lot of hot air in from the engine. Stock air cleaner. Would a K&N Filter be a good choice? or is there something else you might suggest. Nothing new has been put on the car in 18 years besides a new air filter, belts, fuel filters(i cut up the fuel line and put a inline filter in), a new choke, a new gas tank, and new plugs. Oh wow. I have done more than I thought. I also did a complete brake job. Replaced the whole brake system.
these guys giving you advice are a great bunch of guys. trust their wisdom on the buildup. It's a question of how stringent the emissions requirements are and how you can make pieces that can be eliminated or blocked of by plates for egr or flanged cats to be able to bolt in a bypass pipe after the test. It sad, but necessary if you are going to alter any of the original emmisions. Some people have two engines! it's not so bad to pull an engine! Just have lots of beer on hand to keep you friends motivated. It will influence your decisions with camshaft and fuel mixture. It sounds like you are doing the important stuff like brakes and more importantly to consider, steering components!(ball joints,tie rods,shocks,body mounts,springs etc.) you be surprised how a few bucks and a whole lot of effort can improve the ride and handling of the vehicle. Great link by the way match.
Your off to a good start. A few things to keep in mind are this, your car does NOT work just around the engine. It is a machine and as with any machine it has many parts working together. So when you up your engine you have to think about the rest of the car. If your going to go faster you want to make sure you can stop...
If your engine is putting out more power can you cool that engine
If your engine is spinning the tires can you stop that and not break the rear
if your putting out enough power to twist your frame how can you stop that.
If your making lots of power can the tran. handle it
The whole idea in hot rodding becomes how can I make something better generally this is after you have a problem be it not enoug power or anything else I listed.
What are you thinking about doing with the car? This really depends how radical an engine your going to build and collectively how your car must be built.
Once again I really appreciate all your advice. Pretty much I want to make my 76' 350 perform more like the 350s in the 60's Camaros. I think I only have 160 or 165 horsepower. My friend drives his moms 2004 Le Sabre and he thought it would be funny to race... he deffinately won. I'm looking to have more around 260-300 horsepower. Besides that I just want the engine to be reliable and the car to look trick. Oh and I live in Arizona so I deffinately need to fix my airconditioning. The compressors fine but it leaks out the evaporator. My next task that im gonna undertake though is suspension. Put in some tublar control arms and sway bars all that good stuff.
Also does anyone have fuel mixture suggestions?!! i have a rochester 4 barrel and I turned the idle mixture screws out 4 and a half turns. SO... also when I start the car it stays on fast idle after the choke opens all the way and if I'm not careful when I put it in gear it stalls. Its an automatic so it isn't me not being able to drive.
Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with rochesters. you may want to check the timing for the stalling condition. I use a vacuum gauge to adjust my mixture screws, and carefully move the screws until I achieve the highest vacuum possible.vac gauges are cheap too. may also help your stalling condition.
I already have a vacum gauge. Thanks I didnt know to do that.

Indie Trailer Sunday: Michael Corrente's 'Loosies' with Peter Facinelli
by Alex Billington
December 4, 2011
Source: Apple
"My kid's father steals out of old lady's handbags." Today's fun trailer is for an indie drama called Loosies, starring and written by Peter Facinelli, who plays a New York pickpocket (we've had ballerinas, spies, musicians, taxi drivers, now a pickpocket?) that learns he got a girl pregnant, which then flips his world upside, of course. Jaimie Alexander from Thor, who I must admit is absolutely beautiful and talented as all hell, also stars as the girl, Lucy, in this. Michael Madsen, Vincent Gallo and Joe Pantoliano are in it, too. This doesn't look half bad coming out of nowhere, I'm intrigued, give it a shot anyway. Watch below!
Watch the official trailer for Michael Corrente's Loosies, also in high def via Apple:
A young pickpocket (Facinelli) in the New York City subways, living a fast, free, lifestyle is confronted by a woman (Alexander) whom he had a one night affair with, she informs him that she is now pregnant with his child, he must now choose between continuing the lifestyle he lead or take responsibility for his actions.
Loosies is directed by American filmmaker Michael Corrente, of Brooklyn Rules, A Shot at Glory, Outside Providence, American Buffalo and Federal Hill previously. The story and screenplay was written by actor Peter Facinelli, who also produced and stars in the film. This was filmed in 2010 in New York and Rhode Island. IFC Films is releasing Loosies limited VOD now (iTunes), in theaters on January 11th next month.

Denver...now that Cinci has royally screwed us over in the seeding process, I hope they crash and burn.
Fuck you Marvin Lewis with that gay ass gameplan of yours...
Tell us how you really feel RIW! :rolling:Quote:
Fuck you Marvin Lewis with that gay ass gameplan of yours...
If CP is really hurt, no way they even make the playoffs. I'd much rather play Denver (or the Jets) in the playoffs if CP is whole.
I agree wi Bez; I don't want the Pats or the Bengalis. I can think of much worse matchups than on the road in Indi or San Diego, which it might come down to.
anyone know who got the tiebreaker for AFC WC? I thnk Jax is still in it.
Honestly, I'm scared of any division team...
A rivarly game has so many more intangibles, and we've seen that when it's a rivarly, you can almost always throw logic out. Case in point, the split with Cincy this season, the fact that the Browns gave us a run BOTH times we faced them...
I would rather face the falling apart Broncos. true, we lost to them, but we learned from our mistakes and there's really only one receiver to worry about there...Cincy's got TWO.
I trust our run defense over our pass defense any day of the week and twice on Sundays!
I'd rather play the bengals because we know them. They said they were better than us. Well let them prove it to us in our house.
I think I'd rather us play the Broncos with their rookie QB. But if Anthony Wright has to go in for Carson Palmer, bring on the Ben-gals!
The Bengals did us no favors, so I hope they lose their next 2 games.
We usually play the Broncos pretty good and we should have won the game in Denver.
I agree with RaveninWoodlawn.
Hmmm lets see the Bengals win and keep their playoffs alive,or Denver beats them and pretty much knocks them out.
I think Ill go with Denver.
Even in the Cincy / Indy game , I had a hard time pulling for Indy because the last thing I want to see is the Bengals get hot.
They are the team we have the hardest time matching up against. Feel much better about all other teams (except NE at home -- but that's not going to happen ;) )
If these the winner of these two ends up playing us at home if we finish as the three seed, I would prefer the Broncos. Longer trip, Rookie QB, and I believe that RAy would like the challenge to play against the pro-bowl Middle LB, Al Wilson. BS!

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Yesterday, the California Secretary of State released a letter [PDF] to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and a report of their findings with regards to the problem discovered in early December, in Humboldt Co., with disappearing ballots on the Diebold GEMS v. 1.18.19 voting system.
The letter actually challenges the EAC to take action in "requiring that, for every voting system certified by the EAC, the voting system vendor report any and all flaws and problems with the system to the EAC and to the elections officials in the states where the system is used when such flaws are discovered." And Secretary Bowen has taken the action herself by sponsoring legislation in California that will do what she has challenged the EAC to do.
The report is amazing in that it reveals why our voting systems are failing. The issues with the GEMS software go much deeper than just the fact that the system may lose votes. The state also found readily apparent violations of the federal voting system standards. These violations seem to have been ignored by federal test labs, by the National Assoc. of State Election Directors (NASED), and their consultants who qualified the voting system for use, and by-passed CA Secretaries of State and their consultants.
The big question is, will the EAC, staffed by people who were involved in the original NASED "rubber-stamp" of GEMS 1.18.19, take any action? Will they post the letter and report it in their "clearinghouse?" We certainly hope so. The present CA Secretary of State, Debra Bowen, and her staff deserve congratulations and appreciation for a job well done so far. It will be interesting to hear what follow-up actions will now be taken on the federal and state levels....

Unemployment Compensation When You Quit Your Job
Can you collect unemployment benefits if you quit your job? In short, the answer depends on your reasons for quiting and the laws of your state. In all states, unemployment benefits are available only to employees who are out of work through no fault of their own. When it comes to quitting, you will meet this requirement only if you quit your job for good cause. Each state defines "good cause" differently, but in general, you will be eligible for benefits if you had a compelling job-related reason that left you no other choice than to quit. And, in some states, certain compelling personal reasons will also qualify as good cause.
Good Cause to Quit: Job-Related Reasons
In most states, you will have good cause if your job put your health at risk or subjected you to degrading or unsafe working conditions. In these situations, most states will recognize that instead of quitting, you were constructively discharged, meaning that you were forced to quit because of circumstances that any reasonable person would have found intolerable. For example, if you quit because you were facing constant sexual harassment or dangerous working conditions, you will probably still be eligible for unemployment. However, you must typically give your employer notice of the issue and an opportunity to correct it before quitting. In many states, you will also have good cause to quit if your employer refused to pay you for your work.
An employee who quits in lieu of being laid off will not lose his or her eligibility for unemployment benefits. For example, if your manager tells you to accept an "early retirement" package now, because you are slated for layoff in a few weeks, you will probably still be eligible for unemployment. Even though you left your job, your decision wasn't truly voluntary.
Good Cause to Quit: Personal Reasons
Some states allow employees to collect unemployment if they quit their jobs for compelling personal reasons as well. However, the laws differ significantly from state to state. While the following are some common examples, you should check with your state's unemployment agency before making any decisions:
- Relocation with a spouse. Some states allow employees to collect benefits if they quit their jobs to follow a spouse who must relocate for work or military service.
- Medical reasons. An employee who quits work because of his or her own medical condition or to care for a seriously ill family member might still be eligible for unemployment. However, in some states, the employee's health condition must have been caused by the job.
- Domestic violence. In many states, an employee who has to leave a job for reasons relating to domestic violence will still be eligible for benefits.
- Another job. An employee who quits one job to take another may be eligible for unemployment if that job unexpectedly doesn't pan out. However, the new job must be fairly certain (for example, based on a firm offer of employment); you won't be eligible for benefits if you quit your job to look for work.
Disqualifying Reasons
There are many perfectly good reasons why you might decide to quit a job. However, most of them probably won't entitle you to unemployment benefits. For example, perhaps you've decided to try you hand at a different type of work. Maybe you've recognized that you're in a dead-end position with no opportunities to move up the corporate ladder. Or, you might find your work unfulfilling, your coworkers annoying, or your commute too long. All of these reasons might be imminently sensible, but they are generally not considered "good cause" to quit a job. So, unless you have a compelling job-related or personal reason as described above, your best bet is to secure a new position before quitting your existing job.
Next Steps
As you can see, your eligibility for unemployment after quitting a job depends on your state's law. To find out how your state defines "good cause" to quit, contact your state unemployment insurance agency. You can find links and contact information for every state's unemployment agency at www.servicelocator.org/OWSLinks.asp, sponsored by the federal Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.

My cat will hop in the litter box put pee outside. Any new strategies to get a cat to pee inside the box?
My cat has not peed regularly in the litter box since his first UTI he was about 1. He has had several UTIs since then. The Vet thinks he is just prone to UTI's and stubborn. He use to be a feral cat but I found and tamed him as a kitten. He is fixed and I have another male fixed cat in the house. We have 4 very clean litter boxes of various sizes. All of them have at least 3 to 4 inches of litter deep. He will pee right outside or under shoes and rugs. I have had several rugs ruined and carpet soiled from him. I can't keep cleaning up urine! I love my cat but I've already put up with 2 years of this and I can't imagine a cat life time of this especially with a baby! I'm afraid I will eventually chose to just put him to sleep if he is still doing this when I have a baby.

The Charnel Prince
by Greg Keyes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This excellent fantasy series ("Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone") is very
reminiscent of George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire - except that
it's actually finished! (There's one more book in the series that I
haven't yet read.) It follows a similar format, structurally, and the
'feel' of the writing is very similar. The story itself, however, is
quite original - at least, more so than many fantasy epics. I mean,
it's still got Dark Forces and Bold Warriors and Beautiful Queens etc,
etc... but we want that, right?
The Charnel Prince continues the story right where the previous book
left off. The titular character is indeed a royal prince - but also a
traitor, afflicted - or empowered - by a backfired curse, and now
undead - and seemingly unstoppable.
His aim is to murder the Princess Anne - who has escaped him with only
her maid, Austra, and is in hiding as a peasant girl, forced to work
to earn money to somehow make her way home. Luckily, she is befriended
by a roguish swordsmaster, Cazio, who helps and defends her.
Unknown to her, the knight Neil has undertaken a quest to find her and
help her, but it is much like seeking a needle in a haystack - and
Anne doesn't even know whether he might be friend or foe.
Meanwhile, Aspar and Stephen have been charged by religious leaders,
including the Praifec Hespero, to find and destroy the Briar King -
but corruption is in the Church, and black magic. Who knows how high
the evil may have spread? Is killing the Briar King truly the right
thing to do?
Hespero is also on a personal crusade, it seems, against the brilliant
musician and composer Leoff Ackenzal, whose innovative pieces buck
against church dogma. Recently called to an appointment at court, the
innocent Leoff finds himself over his head amongst the conniving
courtiers and courtesans at the palace. Soon, he is worried about more
than his position - his very life may be at stake.
This is the second book in the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series, and I enjoyed it even more than I had enjoyed the first. The first book, while very good, took time to completely grab my interest. I think that was primarily because there were a lot of characters to get to know, and there were a lot of different plot threads that needed time to develop. It took time for all of these things to be introduced and built up to the point where I was really invested. With this book, I started out fully invested in the story and the characters.
In addition to continuing the story of several of the characters from the first book, this book also introduced a handful of new characters. Leoff, the composer, was the only new character who became a frequent point-of-view character and I thought he was a great addition. We also learned more about characters who were only briefly seen in the first book. A couple of them turned out to be far more than they had originally appeared to be. One of them I had suspected, but the other was a pleasant surprise. The characters in this series are very interesting and fun to read about. The over-all story is interesting enough but, at least for me, this series is more about the characters. Finding out what would happen to them next, and learning more about the ones I didn't know well yet, was what kept me turning the pages even when I had other things to do.
I thought the ending was a little more open-ended than that of the first book. When the final chapter ended, I felt like the characters were on the brink of accomplishing the goals they'd been working toward, but the brief epilogue made it clear that there's more trouble to come first. (Well, there's also the fact that the series has two more books in it!) The epilogue also left one of our main characters in a pretty bad position so, at least for that character, there was a bit of a cliff hanger. I look forward to starting the third book to learn what happens next.
The second book in the series has proven to be more riveting than the first. With its unfolding plots and growing character depth...I cannot imagine this story truly coming to an end any time soon.
This isn't really a separate book, I think the whole series is one book that happened to be too thick to put in one cover. In a way, my review for The charnel prince is therefore about the same as my review for The briar king. The only difference is that by now I don't mind the shifts in POV any more. I mostly know the characters, and I know enough of the world not to get thrown, so it doesn't confuse me so much anymore. There are two new characters, one of which I really like (the composer) and one who seems a bit redundant (Ewaut). The other characters, especially Anne and Cazio evolve, in the case of Anne quite satisfactorily. I was planning to read something else in between, but I've gotten so involved with these books, I bought part 3 last night and have already started it...
Characters: Still great. Mostly the same guys.
Plot: Gets thicker. Still manages to satisfy.
Style: Maintains the same gritty almost-realism.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345440714, Mass Market Paperback)With The Charnel Prince, author Greg Keyes keeps up the pace set by The Briar King with a second taut entry in his series--the Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone. The Briar King has awoken and mythical beasts roam the land. Crotheny's king and his daughters are dead by betrayal. His bereaved wife Murielle keeps tenuous hold on the throne and the hope that her headstrong daughter, Anne Dare, has escaped the assassins' blades. The queen sends her most trusted and lethal knight, Sir Neil MeqVren, on a quest to discover her daughter's fate. He will find Anne has narrowly escaped the massacre at Saint Cer and lives on the run in the company of her maid, Austra, and the duel-prone swordsman Cazio. Meanwhile, woodsman Aspar White is sent on a mission to slay the Briar King. All will fight for their lives in the wake of dark forces emerging from shadow to force a dangerously forgotten prophecy into the world.
Keyes is among authors like George R.R. Martin whose work is reinvigorating the often tired genre of high fantasy with rich, dark, and mature storytelling. His characters are vibrant and range far beyond Dungeons & Dragons cliché. He places these starkly drawn men and women into a world built upon a squirming foundation of myth, legend, prophecy, and folklore, which, to their own peril, they are only beginning to understand. --Jeremy Pugh
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:06:48 -0400)
"When the legendary Briar King awoke from his slumber, a season of darkness and horror fell upon the Kingdom of Crotheny. Now countless breeds of unspeakable monsters roam the countryside. An epidemic of madness has transformed peaceful villagers from the wildlands into savage, flesh-eating fiends. In Eslen, King William has been murdered, Queen Muriele is stalked by treachery on every side, and their last surviving daughter, Anne, has fled the assassins bent on destroying her family. Close on the heels of the runaway princess, young knight Neil MeqVren, the queen�s one trusted ally, is sworn to rescue Anne from her murderous pursuers. Anne herself undertakes a perilous journey toward the sanctuary of her distant paramour�s arms, but along the way lie the sinister agents and hidden snares of a sprawling conspiracy that few might hope to evade. At the same time, spies in the service of Praifec Hespero, the powerful Churchman, embark upon a mission to destroy the Briar King in the heart of his domain. And the power-hungry Church, spurred on by the mystical events, has launched an inquisition whose repercussions threaten even the queen. As the noose of intrigue tightens across the land, personal fates and a kingdom�s destiny alike will be decided in a conflict between virtue and malevolence, might and magic."--Back cover.… (more)

I do a lot of "on-the-fly" shots, especially at car shows. With feature car shoots, I have an idea of what shots I want.
2012 CC R-Line Candy White
2001 Honda S2000 Turbo *no longer on jackstands!*
1994 Dodge Viper RT/10
But if it's an event/meet it's almost impossible to plan every shot. There is so much going on, and opportunities that come and go that you need to be quick on your feet. IMO that's what makes a good videographer, someone that not only can think quick on their feet, but translate that into usable footage for post. You are not always going to have perfect lighting, you aren't always going to have a tripod, glidecam, jib, slider etc so it's important.
just my .02 cents

The west coast of Barbados has a reputation for being a bit brash. Think Michael Winner, gold jewellery and too many D-list celebrities hoping to get papped on jet-skis. But brash is just what the Tamarind isn't.
True, it has three pools, sits on a large stretch of palm-fringed white sand beach, and has its own boat taxi service. Yet it somehow manages to emit an understated cool. This is largely down to the design, which is simple and elegant. A series of courtyards and passageways leads to more than 100 rooms, but it feels much smaller. And a recent redevelopment by the owners, Elegant Hotels, completed in November, has maintained that sense of intimacy while refocusing almost all the rooms on the sea and providing a much-needed spruce-up.
All beaches in Barbados are public, so as well as the beautiful 750ft crescent of white sand on your doorstep, there are seaside walks in either direction. It makes the hotel a great place from which to explore some of the island's west coast. And if you want to go further afield, the hotel sits about halfway up the coast, so nowhere is much further than half an hour away by car. If you don't have your own wheels it's also on the main bus routes to Bridgetown, Speightstown, and Oistins, setting of the island's Fish Friday, where the fish market plies its trade into the night with stalls providing fresh catch and live music to add to the entertainment. A water taxi service also runs three times a day between Tamarind and Elegant's three other west coast hotels: Crystal Cove, The House and Colony Club.
The rooms
On the rare occasion a stray cloud covers the sun, or you want some air-conditioned solace from it, inside you'll find rooms are modern with neutral coloured walls and bed linen, brightened by flashes of red and green from cushions, rugs, and abstract artwork. The rooms, once a little tatty, have been spruced up with brand new furniture made from good-quality natural materials, including solid wood and soft leather. Suites have glass screen doors on to balconies set with loungers, giving you your own space to relax. Flat-screen satellite television and an iPod dock/alarm clock are standard.
The food and drink
From fine dining to bar snack food and a weekly Bajan buffet, most tastes are catered for and almost all eating is outside (or in open-walled rooms, if the weather turns). If you want cocktails, light food and tapas, try the Rilaks Deck by the main pool where a main course is about $15 (£9). For lobster thermidor and serious fine dining, the 246 restaurant (named after the phone code for Barbados) is impressive – as is the bill: a three-course meal without wine will set you back $50 (£31) at the very least. The hotel group also owns the pricey but excellent Daphne's next door – sister of the famous South Kensington restaurant – serving a blend of Bajan and Italian cuisine. You need to make reservations for dinner because it gets booked up quickly.
The extras
Most water sports are included in the price of your room – just book a slot with the team at the beach hut. You can help yourself to sea kayaks, windsurfers and even small sailing boats if you know what you are doing. A motorboat takes guest out for half-hour bouts of speedier sea sporting activities – including waterskiing, wakeboarding and doughnut riding. The beach is close to where day-trip boats moor to take people snorkelling with turtles, making it a good spot from which to swim out if you've got your own kit and want to see the turtles. Otherwise the hotel can arrange for you to join an official excursion. The in-hotel spa offers an extensive list of massages and beauty treatments and there is a secluded adults-only pool in a quiet courtyard next to the spa.
Tamarind has also invested a lot in making sure kids are entertained. The Flying Fish Club will supervise your children from 10am until 5pm, organising activities catered to specific age groups. Two clubs are decked out with Nintendo Wiis, arts and crafts kit, and games for children aged four to 12. They also organise pool trips. A teenage den is filled with computer games, table tennis and air hockey tables.
The access
There is disabled access to ground floor rooms and all restaurants, facilities and pools. Children are welcome.
The bill
A garden view double starts from £158 a night. The writer flew with British Airways (0844 493 0787; ba.com), who offers seven nights at Tamarind from £1,199 per person, including return flights; flights only from £658. For car hire, Abdul at Drive Barbados offers an excellent service (001 246 230 1998; drivebarbados.com), from $281 (£173) a week for a small hatchback.
The address
Tamarind Hotel, Paynes Bay, St James, Barbados (0800 917 3534; elegant hotels.com).

Need a free Car Cost Canada report?
In order to get over $1,000 off the sticker price of my new car, I purchased a report through CarCostCanada.com, which lists the wholesale price of a car, plus any dealer/factory rebates/incentives that are on the table.
When I went to buy my car, and I went in to talk numbers with the manager, he seemed pretty shocked that I had brought along the Car Cost Canada report. The salesperson even said "wow, you sure did your homework." And I didn't even have to negotiate! I showed him the report, said I wanted a set amount off the price of the car, and he just went and did it for me, no questions asked. Exactly how I like to do business.
I have 12 unused reports left, so if anyone out there is at all considering purchasing a new car in the near future, send me an e-mail at krystalatwork [at] gmail [dot] com with the make/model/information of the car you're thinking about, and I can send you a free report on it. It would be a shame to let those reports go to waste!
Please note that I have given away all of my Car Cost Canada reports. But if you are in the market for a new car, I would strongly urge you just to fork over the money and buy a report for yourself. It is well worth the money, even if you only get a few hundred dollars off.
Switched over auto insurance
Okay well after it was all said and done, I only ended up saving $213.02 on my annual insurance. Which is still a huge amount, but it's not as much as the online quote I got yesterday. Part of it is because they don't have 2010 vehicles updated online yet, so when I called customer service they said just to pick the 2009 model "because it would be the same discount." HA! Wrong.
That's okay though. If BF insures his car through CDI when it comes due (in 2 weeks), I'll save another $100 on my insurance. Not bad! Although I think it will be cheaper for him to go through ICBC since it's an older car. But we can always do the online quote to see. And next year I should be able to get an even bigger discount.
Now tomorrow I have to go in and cancel my extended ICBC coverage because they don't let you do that over the phone (lame).
Fun times with auto insurance quotes
Wow I am shocked at the range of auto insurance quotes I got. In BC you must get basic insurance with ICBC. Any other extended coverage can be with a private insurance company.
What I have now:
ICBC – $1,942 ($883 for basic + $1,059 for extended)
Coast Capital – $848 (total with basic = $1,731)
CDIDirect – $691 (total with basic = $1,574)
If I go with CDIDirect, that's a HUGE savings of $367 per year (or over $30/month)! It kind of makes me wonder if I could have been saving on insurance costs all these years with my other cars and my scooter.
I'm going to do a bit more research tonight and then tomorrow I will most likely switch over my extended coverage to CDIDirect. w00t!

Yesterday, I suddenly realised why I don't like the Mansion Tax. What was the reason for this revelation? It wasn't Myleene Klaas's glass of water, or a sudden conversion to David Cameron's way of thinking. Nor am I thinking of making a bid for Mayor of London, and am worried that the burghers of Blackheath will oppose me.
No, the person who made me see the flaw in the mansion tax was Ed Miliband, and he did so because I agreed with him.
You see, Ed did something clever at Prime Minister's Questions. He contrasted the Government's support for the Bedroom Tax with their opposition to a Mansion Tax, asking David Cameron to "tell us why he is so in favour of the bedroom tax but so against the mansion tax".
It is a neat rhetorical move, sharply contrasting the governments willingness to extract money from people in social housing with their opposition to even a modest charge on houses worth over £2 million.
Defending himself, Cameron did not talk about the Bedroom Tax. Instead he backed the Spare Room subsidy.
At this point I had my flash of self knowledge.
I have no problem with progressive property taxes. You'd have to be a supporter of the poll tax over Council Tax to be concerned by the principle of such taxation.
I have no problem with increasing the share of property tax paid by those in the most expensive houses. The top rate of council tax currently has 135,000 homes in England based on a valuation of £320,000 a quarter century ago. The government estimates that there are currently 55,000 houses now valued at above 2 million, so effectively the Mansion Tax would be a 'Band I' of Council Tax aimed at the top third or so of current Band H properties, albeit one collected and spent nationally.
I even like our proposed method of allowing deferred payment of such a tax, through a charge on a property as it's a neat solution to the 'little old lady' problem of property taxation. Maybe we could even extend it to an offer made to pensioners struggling to pay council tax, as we do already for social care.
So what don't I like about the Mansion tax?
I don't like the name.
Contained within the concept of a mansion tax is the idea that 'Mansions' are deserving of special tax treatment.
This is problematic, first because in setting up the image of a 'mansion' as what you seek to tax, you are immediately vulnerable to the charge that what you are taxing is not, in fact, a mansion. You will inevitably be taxing some people who are not bloated plutocrats, and their complaints will appear to have more validity if you don't appear to mean them. I'm sure Ed Miliband doesn't think of himself as living in a 'Mansion', and neither will many who will be asked to pay. This is what Myleene Klaas was arguing, of course.
Worse, the conceptual idea of a Mansion Tax contains, like its rhetorical fellows the bedroom Tax and the Spare Room subsidy, a whiff of moral judgement. To talk of taxing mansions specifically is to hint that the desire to live in and own a mansion is somehow a negative. It's the same rhetorical logic that lies behind luxury taxes and sumptuary laws. Talk about a tax in such a way, and you are, somehow, making a moral judgement of those you seek to extract money from. Getting the money should be more than enough. The judgement gains you little.
Plus, I'm not sure that this is a moral judgement all of us share. I would quite like to live in a mansion, and even though I never expect to own a pleasant villa in Tuscany, even a hint that such a longing is unworthy and despicable causes a prickle of irritation entirely unrelated to the value of prospective tax streams, especially when those proposing it already live in nicer houses than I do.
You may as well call the higher rate of income tax the 'I'm alright jack tax'.
Polly Toynbee makes a good point in the Guardian today, defending such a property tax. She reminds us that one of the purposes of Taxation is to generate the maximum amount of goosefeather with the minimum of squawk.
So here's my suggestion.
Keep the tax but ditch the name. Instead of a Mansion Tax, propose to introduce a Band N of council Tax, (the N standing for National, and also for NHS).
It'll be oh so boring, and entirely unjudgemental of people who live in, or would like to live in Mansions, and a unflashy and grey as taxation is likely to be.
What's more, it'll sound not like a tax we're eager to extract from all who aspire to nice houses, but a rather dull administrative adjustment to a current tax policy.
Maximum Feather. Minimum Squawk.
Of course, I'm far too late with this. The rhetoric is set. Which is why I'm not paid the big bucks, and most decidedly do not live in a mansion.

Hello to all,
I have just purchased a new Kimber 3" Ultra Carry II with Crimson Tracer, and I need a holster for CC here in Florida...
I have decided to purchase from TT Gunleather,
But I dont know the name of the holsters that I want!
They are in the Gallery Section. I have included a couple of pictures of the rigs that I want. ( I hope they will pop up in my post)
I would like to know if anybody has purchased these holsters and what do you think about them?
Also I have e-mailed Tim @ TT Gunleather asking him if he could send me a couple of pictures of the backside of these rigs.
I will also buy his gun belt in sharkskin to carry the holster.
I know from reading the post on this site that most of the quality manufactures have a LONG waiting period. (Which I think is kind of silly since we are willing to pay a premium price, and need the holsters NOW not in 4 to 12 weeks!
If anyone has either of the holsters and would like to share the information about them I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Mr. Moto

Dutch symphonic metal act Epica has entered the studio to begin recording the follow up to "Requiem for the Indifferent" (see review here). This all comes after extensive writing, pre-production and the birth of Simone Simons' first child with boyfriend and Kamelot keyboardist Oliver Palotai.

Guitarist/composer Mark Jansen commented: "We wrote about 18 new tracks for the album which we all will be recording. This puts us in a luxury position since we will be able to choose the best of these tracks for the album! So far the songs contain all known Epica elements, it is a balanced mix between old and new influences. We are extremely happy with all the material and can't wait to put it out there!!"

System Divide Drops Off Epica Tour
System Divide has posted the following announcement online about canceling the band's upcoming tour dates with Epica:
"It is with great regret we have to announce that System Divide has to drop off our north american tour with Epica. Miri already had to leave earlier due to a health emergency within the family and things have complicated further so unfortunately I have to make the decision to go back and support my wife and family in these hard times.
"We have pushed through as far as possible to make this work and appreciate the support of the fans that came to the shows to see System Divide. It has been an utmost privilege and pleasure to tour with Epica, not only are they great at what they do, they have been amazing people to be on the road with and they deserve everyone's support at the shows and respect.
"It is with great sadness in our hearts that we have to say bye to them today but hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. Our touring brothers in Insomnium and Alestorm as well, we will all miss you and see you again soon!
"We apologize to all the fans/promoters who were looking forward to see the band, we will do our utmost best to come back to north america and play our hearts out for you all as soon as possible. We will utilize the time now to write the best album we possibly can and return in 2013 with a vengeance!" More...
Metal Daze: The Metalcamp Diaries, Part III
... Continued from Part II...
11:00am. After two full days of brushing my teeth with bottled water, "morning" and "night" (relative terms), without a sink, I have toothpaste streaked in white stains all over my army-green shorts. I've already lost count of people who've asked me how much I've been jerking it.
12:00pm. A bracing gust of wind pummels the gazebo. So far, the guy lines and tent pegs anchoring the flimsy metal stanchions to the ground have held (with some occasional coaxing), but they've taken a beating from the continuous breeze. We're situated on the crest of a slope that scoops up the air and sends it hurtling into our camp. More...
Alestorm Touring With Epica
Premiere pirate metal band and Napalm Records recording artist Alestorm will be setting sail to North American waters once again, touring the United States and Canada this month and next as direct support to Epica.
The 28-date tour begins on October 23rd in Washington, DC and concludes November 24th in Baltimore, with three headlining Alestorm shows along the way. Also joining the tour will be Insomnium, System Divide, and Destiny Potato. Dates are available below.

The ProgPower USA Experience From A Newbie
If there was ever an event for a first time festival goer, it would be ProgPower USA. Unfortunately, fans here are spoiled by the incredible privileges, some of which could never be properly duplicated by any of the huge European festivals. In Atlanta, you won't find camping sites, 80,000 people and huge immense lines for signing sessions. What you will find is a community of about 1200 well-educated and well versed fans that throw an amazing party and represent some of the nicest people from all over the U.S. and the world. However, it is a party which also includes the many members of the best bands you can find in the world (not just those who are playing) all within an incredibly intimate setting of a venue that is as unmatched in sound quality as it is fan friendly. For its first 12 years, ProgPower USA seemed out of my reach for reasons I cannot fully explain or comprehend (stupidity comes to mind). However, lucky #13 consisted of a lineup which I personally felt was the strongest in its history (though called "weak" by progressive fan standards), and was perfect for my very first taste of the ProgPower USA experience. As soon as this lineup was announced last year, I drew up the battle plan to attend. The ability to see Serenity, Mystic Prophecy, Pretty Maids and so many others make their debut U.S. performances was something of a dream for this aging fan boi. Topping it off was a headline performance my current favorite Epica, so finding a way to get there became mandatory. What transpired exceeded all my hopes and expectations, a dream I wish I never woke from.

2012 Changes? LCI?
Are there any changes to the E89 for 2012? When is the LCI/face-lift?
I have my 2011 35is on order and hope there isn't anything too significant in the pipeline ;)
Bump! Anyone?
BMW hasn't announced yet if they are going to do an LCI update for 2012, but I think I read in a car magazine recently that they will be doing an update for 2012. I know the 4-cylinder turbo is replacing the 6, but nobody knows about any other changes. They usually do an update every 4 years, so 2012 would make sense for a face lift. That may be why they are offering such good lease deals on the 2011's.
New engines haven't not necessarily followed the LCI schedule.
Oddly, the E71 X6 should have been LCI'ed for MY2012 following the above pattern, but it wasn't ... so I guess you never really know. ;)
I personally don't think we will see any physical changes this year ... plus, we probably would have seen some spy-shots of one in camo.
I wonder how the turbo-4 will feel in comparison to the current NA 6 with a 6-MT. Having driven a N54 E90 for 3+ years, I highly doubt (and hope) it will have a lag similar to the Audi 2.0T... with Porsche coming out with a new boxster as well, its going to be an interesting year ahead.

Legendary folk singer and social activist Pete Seeger has been inspiring Californians since his earliest days as a traveling banjo player.
Seeger died Monday in a New York hospital at the age of 94.
Pete Seeger came to California in 1940 to play a benefit concert for migrant farmworkers. And it was then he met singer, songwriter and activist Woody Guthrie. The two became traveling and singing companions, campaigning for farmworker justice two decades before the movement rose to national prominence, says United Farm Workers spokesman Marc Grossman.
Grossman was the personal aide and press secretary to Cesar Chavez for more than two decades. He says Chavez met Guthrie at about the same time Seeger did.
"Cesar was just a kid then, maybe 13 or 14 years old," Grossman says, "when Guthrie, this legendary folksinger and songwriter, would visit and sing songs and support strikes in the farm labor camps in the lower Central Valley, where Cesar and his family sometimes lived when they were migrant farmworkers during the Depression."
In the 1960s, Seeger and Guthrie, along with artists like Joan Baez and Peter, Paul, and Mary, helped elevate the United Farm Workers movement to national consciousness.
Seeger would plug the union's grape boycotts wherever he could, Grossman says, and would sometimes attend UFW events in the Midwest and East Coast.
"He'd sing 'Nosotros Venceremos,' the Spanish version of 'We Shall Overcome,' that Cesar and the UFW adopted in the 1960s," Grossman says. "We felt blessed that among the many righteous causes that Pete Seeger championed over the decades was La Causa, the farmworkers' cause."
"We Shall Overcome" is one of Seeger's most famous tunes, adapted from an old gospel song. Here is the story of how the song became a protest anthem, as related by The New York Times:
Like many of Mr. Seeger's songs, "We Shall Overcome" had convoluted traditional roots. It was based on old gospel songs, primarily "I'll Overcome," a hymn that striking tobacco workers had sung on a picket line in South Carolina. A slower version, "We Will Overcome," was collected from one of the workers, Lucille Simmons, by Zilphia Horton, the musical director of the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tenn., which trained union organizers.
Ms. Horton taught it to Mr. Seeger, and her version of "We Will Overcome" was published in the People's Songs newsletter. Mr. Seeger changed "We will" to "We shall" and added verses ("We'll walk hand in hand"). He taught it to the singers Frank Hamilton, who would join the Weavers in 1962, and Guy Carawan, who became musical director at Highlander in the '50s. Mr. Carawan taught the song to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee at its founding convention.
The song was copyrighted by Mr. Seeger, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Carawan and Ms. Horton. "At that time we didn't know Lucille Simmons's name," Mr. Seeger wrote in his 1993 autobiography, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." All of the song's royalties go to the "We Shall Overcome" Fund, administered by what is now the Highlander Research and Education Center, which provides grants to African-Americans organizing in the South.
Seeger inspired generations of folk musicians and activists, with his commitment to peace, community, and the labor movement. And it was at a concert in San Francisco where 10-year-old aspiring folk singer Holly Near first heard Seeger, along with Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays and Fred Hellerman, in the pioneering folk group The Weavers. Near says folk music was popular in her childhood home. Her father built a specially sized mailbox to receive LPs, and her mother would go through catalogs and order albums by Odetta, Paul Robeson and The Weavers.
"My siblings and I would all sing all the parts. We knew the words to every single song and we would dance around and sing," Near says, then breaks into the opening line from The Weavers' "Wasn't That a Time": "Our fathers bled at Valley Forge. … "
"Now I'm sure as an 8-year-old I had no idea what that meant," she says, laughing, "but it was so exciting, those voices."
Near says she had no idea back then that she would sing with Seeger on and off through much of her life. She says Seeger often invited younger musicians like her to join him, and there's likely hardly a folk musician in California who hasn't shared the stage with him at some point.
He was eager to join in the antiwar and civil rights causes of the 1960s, she says, and would sing for causes across political boundaries, like a fundraiser he did for children in Lebanon at a time when the Arab community couldn't find artists who would support their work.
"He felt that everyone should be given a chance to respond to a song," Near says. "Even on his banjo it says, 'This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.' I think he believed that music could cut through all of those things that make us afraid of one another."
During the McCarthy era, Seeger and other members of the Weavers were accused of belonging to the Communist Party — true in Seeger's case, though he had quit by the time the charge was made — and they would sometimes arrive for concerts to find they were barred from playing. One such episode occurred in Ohio, when a 1951 Weavers appearance at the state fair was canceled. Near says that decades later, when she was touring with Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert and Arlo Guthrie, "the governor of Ohio — must have been 50 years later — invited Pete and Ronnie to come forward, and he did a public apology to them for Ohio's historic error. It was very, very beautiful to see."
Near says now is a time to play Pete Seeger's music, sing, dance and feel the joy of having shared the planet with him for so many years.
"It's been an honor and a pleasure to be with such an extraordinary musician and thinker and lover of the world," she says, and then starts laughing. "I was laughing, thinking that there's such an unusual footprint that he's left that archaeologists are going to see it and wonder, 'What creature is this? And we're his descendants.' "

A former BBC driver has become the first person to be charged with offences in the investigation linked to the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.
David Smith, 66, of Lewisham, has been charged with five sex offences relating to a single victim allegedly committed in 1984.
He is accused of two counts of indecent assault, two of gross indecency and one of buggery, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
He is the first person to be charged under Operation Yewtree, the national investigation prompted after claims were made against disgraced TV presenter Savile.
A BBC correspondent said Smith was a chauffeur who drove for the BBC though it was not clear his alleged offences occurred while he was employed by the corporation.
The driver was apparently employed as a chauffeur for various BBC programmes. The BBC said it could not comment.
So far a total of 11 men have been arrested in connection with the sex scandal surrounding Savile.
A report into Savile's activities has found he abused adults and children across the country over more than five decades. The NSPCC said Savile, who was 84 when he died, had been one of the most prolific sex offenders in its 129-year history.
When Smith was arrested the Met said it was under the strand of the operation looking at complaints against people not connected to the late DJ.
Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London, said the CPS had carefully considered the evidence against Smith and concluded "there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction, and that it is in the public interest for David Smith to be charged with five offences."
The charges are two counts of indecent assault on a boy under 14 between June 1 and July 21 1984; two counts of gross indecency with a boy under 14 between the same dates and buggery of a boy under 16 between July 1 and 21 1984.
Smith, who was arrested in December last year, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 8.
The charge comes amid criticism of the Yard's Yewtree inquiry with some describing it as a 'celebrity witch-hunt'.
Last week an 82-year-old celebrity became the latest person to be arrested by officers involved in the Yewtree inquiry.
Former BBC producer Wilfred De'Ath, 75, one of the 11 men arrested, was cleared last week of an allegation dating back to 1965.
Mr De'Ath, who spent four months on bail, accused police of being 'overzealous', pursuing 'spurious' claims, and failing 'lamentably' to stop Savile's reign of terror while he was still alive.
Celebrities to have been arrested so far have included Jim Davidson, PR guru Max Clifford, DJ Dave Lee Travis and disgraced pop star Gary Glitter, all of whom deny wrongdoing.
The police operation, which has 30 dedicated detectives, has been criticised by some as a 'celebrity witch-hunt'.

May 21, 2010
ATHENS, Ga. -- Rain delayed Tennessee's match for most of the afternoon Friday, but the hours off the court did not alter the rhythm of the second-ranked Volunteers.
The Vols swept Louisville for the second time this year, rolling quickly to a 4-0 victory indoors to advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tennis Championships for the first time since 2002.
Tennessee (29-1) won the doubles point and took first-set leads on three of Georgia's four indoor courts. The Vols have posted a school-record 15 shutouts this season.
"The score looked like it was easier than what it actually was," Tennessee coach Sam Winterbotham said. "I thought Louisville did a great job. They pushed us really hard in doubles. We had a couple guys really step up and play well in singles."
Friday's round of 16 match started outdoors at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, but rain started pouring 10 minutes into doubles play. Tennessee and Louisville had to wait two hours for the conclusion of UCLA's 4-2 victory over Stanford on the indoor courts before resuming competition.
Tennessee faces Baylor in the quarterfinals Sunday at 3 p.m. Baylor defeated Texas A&M for the first time in three meetings this year, winning 4-1 after losing the doubles point.
After moving inside, junior Matteo Fago and freshman Edward Jones collected a quick 8-3 victory on court 3. Senior Davey Sandgren and junior John-Patrick Smith, the third-ranked team nationally, defeated Simon Childs and Alejandro Callegari 8-5 to clinch the doubles point for Tennessee and earn their 36th win of the season in the process.
Singles went quickly for the Vols with their pair of standout freshmen Tennys Sandgren and Rhyne Williams led the way. Sandgren extended his winning streak to 14 matches, defeating Alejandro Calligari 6-1, 6-3.
Less than minute later, Williams finished with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Simon Childs. Williams has won four sets 6-0 in his first three NCAA dual matches and improved to 37-6 this season.
"I thought Rhyne and Tennys, our two freshman, came out just as they've done all year," Winterbotham said. "Just seeing them develop is fantastic. They handled this situation just like it was one more match, nothing special about it. They're doing their part."
Smith, the top-ranked singles player, closed the door on the shutout with his ninth win over a top 25 player this year, defeating Austen Childs 6-2, 6-2. Smith has a 41-6 record this season.
The fifth and sixth singles positions did not even begin their matches.
1. #1 John-Patrick Smith (TENNESSEE) def. #19 Austen Childs (LOUISVILLE), 6-2, 6-2
2. Viktor Maksimcuk (LOUISIVLLE) vs. #36 Boris Conkic (TENNESSEE), 6-4, 1-4, DNF
3. #45 Rhyne Williams (TENNESSEE) def. #92 Simon Childs (LOUISVILLE), 6-2, 6-0
4. #111 Tennys Sandgren (TENNESSEE) def. Alejandro Calligari (LOUISVILLE), 6-1, 6-3
5. Andrew Carter (LOUISVILLE) vs. #116 Matt Brewer (TENNESSEE), DNP
6. Robert Hall (LOUISVILLE) vs. Matteo Fago (TENNESSEE), DNP
1. #3 Davey Sandgren/John-Patrick Smith (TENNESSEE) def. Simon Childs/Alejandro Calligari (LOUISVILLE), 8-5
2. Austen Childs/Viktor Maksimcuk (LOUISVILLE) vs. #12 Rhyne Williams/Boris Conkic (TENNESSEE), 5-3, DNF
3. Edward Jones/Matteo Fago (TENNESSEE) def. Andrew Carter/Chidi Gabriel (LOUISVILLE), 8-3
Order of Finish: Doubles (3,1); Singles (4,3,1).

I heard on the radio today that Wal-Mart will sell their existing supply of ammo but will not be ordering anymore until after Washington makes up its mind what its going to do.
Wait! You can CC in Wal Mart? I can't legally carry at any Wal Marts I shop at. Congrats on your CCW.
I remember my first Wally Walk also. It is a right that I refuse to lose. I should have had the ability long ago but the left wing in this state kept it from me for many years. Now over a year with CC I never leave the house without my friend. Be safe and SMART.

GREAT (Graduate Research Enhancement and Travel) Award
The Integrated Program in Neuroscience has been allocated enough money for multiple GREAT awards of $500 each, twice a year.
Students can request funds for travel to national and international conferences to present the results of their work or for travel to other labs to learn new techniques and expand research skills. Travel must take place at the specified time indicated in your application form. For example, if you win a GREAT award for usage in the Fall, it cannot be carried over to the Winter competition if you decide that you want to attend something else. If you change your mind about your travelling plans, please let the office know immediately so that we can give the award to another deserving student. If you have received a GREAT Award in the preceding term, you are not eligible to apply.
Please note: If you are graduating you are not eligible to apply for this award.
Download the fillable application form here.
Please return the completed application form via email to ipn [at] mcgill [dot] ca. Append any documents supporting your travel request, e.g. accepted abstract, confirmation of conference registration
October 15 (For travel between November 1 and April 30) OR
April 15 (For travel between May 1 and October 31)
Awardees will receive $500 deposited into their accounts after they have submitted proof of having spent at least that amount on costs related to their travel, and proof that the travel has taken place. The IPN will not fund any travel request for a conference that occurs after the initial thesis is submitted.
Travel Registry
The Minerva Travel Registry and Pre-departure Orientation are resources designed to help prepare students undertaking University-related international activities. According to the International Mobility Guidelines, participation is mandatory for most undergraduate and graduate students. Are you participating?
Pre-Departure Orientation
Graduate students travelling to attend an international conference or formally organized workshop in countries listed by DFAIT at Level-1 (Exercise normal security precautions) or Level-2 (Exercise a high degree of caution) are not required to attend Pre-Departure Orientation but are required to complete a Travel Registry form on Minerva for all travel activities. All other students are required both to participate in Pre-departure Orientation and to complete the Travel Registry. Students planning multiple international activities are only required to participate in orientation once, but must complete a separate Travel Registry form for each activity.
