The search for three missing climbers on Mount Hood on Sunday almost seemed like a case of déjà vu — with one major exception.
Hood River and Clackamas county searchers were able to quickly triangulate the whereabouts of the stranded trio. Each of the climbers was wearing a radio beacon locator so that their position at the 7,300-foot elevation of White River Canyon could be pinpointed.
"The weather conditions were just miserable and these devices made all of the difference in the outcome of this search," said Hood River County Sheriff Joe Wampler.
He said the massive hunt for three missing climbers in December during a similar winter storm ended in tragedy. Wampler believes the outcome might have been different if anyone in that party had been wearing the locator device. One man was found dead and the other two men are missing and presumed dead.
"We've had the receiver to pick up signals from the locator units since 1994. But we've never taken it out of the box before this weekend because no one wants to wear them," said Wampler.
On Tuesday, he was headed to Salem to testify on legislation that would require climbers to wear the beacons at higher elevations. Wampler said outdoor groups are opposed to a mandate that they included the equipment in their gear — but he is all for it. He said not only is the life of the climber on the line, but so are the lives of volunteer searchers.
"I think there needs to be some tweaking done to update the technology — but I'm definitely a supporter," he said.
Christine Redl, 26, Kate Hanlon, 34, and Matt Bryant, 34, fell several hundred feet off a ledge into the White River Canyon on Sunday. They were part of an eight-member climbing team from the Portland-metro area. Their companions were escorted to safety by members of Hood River County's Crag Rats and Portland Mountain Rescue.
Wampler provided a snow cat and snowmobiles that cut the time in half to get the three climbers and "Velvet," a Labrador that accompanied them, off the mountain on Monday afternoon.
Redl, who sustained a possible concussion, was listed in fair condition at Oregon Health & Science University on Tuesday morning. Hanlon and Bryant were treated for minor injuries and released.

"When Marcye and Karen Nicholson-McFadden had a baby two years ago, the lesbian couple struggled to keep hospital staff aware of their decadelong partnership during the difficult delivery. As they prepare for another child, the Aberdeen parents want legal recognition: a marriage certificate that would protect their children, the home and business they built together, and would allow Marcye or Karen to make emergency decisions regarding each other's lives.

'Til It Happens to You: In Staunch Support of Campus Sexual Assault Survivors
The Hunting Ground is an unabashed and damning portrayal of the still crucial and widespread problem of rape culture on college campuses. In fact, an estimated 20 to 25% of women in higher educational institutions may experience attempted or completed rape over the course of their college career according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
But these numbers often obscure what this experience is like on an intimate, human level. The fact is, real women experience this — real women like Lady Gaga. In a 2014 interview with Howard Stern, the performer revealed that she wrote the track "Swine," which is included on the album ARTPOP, to express the degradation she felt after she was sexually assaulted at 19 years old.

An unlucky drink-driver ended up in court after his sat nav took him to a police station car park by mistake.
Prajay Shrestha was caught driving under the influence of alcohol when he pulled up outside Aldershot Police Station in his silver Vauxhall Corsa, a court heard.
On February 10, the 21-year-old receptionist was lost and was looking for a hotel to stay after an evening at a restaurant in Aldershot town centre with his partner.
Serena Edwards, prosecuting, said: "At about 4am officers outside Aldershot Police Station were made aware that a car was in the car park in an area that was closed off.
"The car lights were on and police officers spoke to the driver.
"[Shrestha] was taken through to the police station for a blood test to check if he had been drinking."
He had driven his car up a kerb, onto a grass verge and was blocking the entrance of the car park, Miss Edwards said.
He measured 158milligrammes of alcohol in 100millilitres of blood - the legal limit is 80mg.
In a police interview, Shrestha said he had travelled from Reading where he lived with his father, to go to a restaurant in Aldershot.
He had three half glasses of champagne and tried to look for a hotel but his sat nav was not working. Shrestha admitted one charge of drink-driving at Aldershot Magistrates' Court on Thursday (April 10).
'He was lost'
Duty solicitor Jack Beards, defending Shrestha, told the court: "He went to the restaurant as a friend told him it was good.
"He admits he had some champagne in the restaurant, but he was not going to drive home, he was going to get a hotel.
"He travelled a short distance from Victoria Road to the police station in Wellington Avenue.
"He was trying to get to the Travelodge and the sat nav led him to the police station car park. He was lost.
"He was sitting in his car with his girlfriend trying to find the way.
"It was not a good decision."
Travelodge is located within Aldershot's new Westgate development, behind the police station.
Shrestha works as an evening receptionist at Travelodge in Reading and lives with his father in Cambridge Street, Reading, the court heard. He does not go out often and normally he does not drink, Mr Beards told the court.
"This was an unusual event," he added.
Chairman of the bench David Smith banned Shrestha from driving for 17 months. He was also fined £250.
If Shrestha completes a drink-driver rehabilitation programme, he will shave 126 days off his disqualification.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX touches seven-month high on oil-price rise
* TSX up 65.27 points, or 0.42 percent, at 15,454.55
* Energy companies rise as oil prices rally
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO, April 15 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Wednesday, touching its highest level since September, with oil and gas shares leading the rally on stronger crude prices.
Among the oil and gas stocks that were most influential in moving the index, Suncor Energy Inc rose 1.2 percent to C$40.39, while Cenovus Energy Inc advanced 3.7 percent to C$23.57. The index's energy sector climbed 1.6 percent.
"It's been a good day for crude oil, and that's helping Canada. For the moment, it looks as though crude oil is bottoming out," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
Middle Eastern tensions and signs of a dip in U.S. oil production helped oil prices rise, although advances were tempered by an International Energy Agency (IEA) report that suggested supplies would take longer to tighten than previously thought.
"The markets are doing well. Overall the sentiment for equities is quite positive," Cieszynski said.
At 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 65.27 points, or 0.42 percent, at 15,454.55. It hit 15,498.05 at one point, its highest level since Sept. 17. Continued...

Solutions will be posted after the due date in the solutions directory . The homeworks will generally be problems from the textbook. Generally the first few problems in a chapter are the easier or more conceptual ones, while the later ones require more thought and/or computation. Here is the Homework list . Quizzes and Exams Quizzes will be simple 10 min problems at the end of class. We will go over the solution in lecture on the board. In general I will not post solutions for the quizzes on the web. The Midterm exam will be in class, for the full lecture period. I will have a review session before the midterm. I will post a previous year's exam for practice when the time comes. POLICY ON MISSED HOMEWORK AND QIZZES There will be no makeup quizzes, nor will I accept any late homework. I will drop two of your lowest quiz and homework grades, so mathematically your grade will not suffer if you keep the missed quizzes and homeworks under two. However you should realize that if you miss a homework you are still responsible for the material. Again, please DO NOT EVER email me scanned homework. Grading Here is how the grading breaks down: Homeworks: 10% Quizzes: 20% Midterm Exam: 30% Final Exam: 40% Online Gradebook There is an online gradebook for this course.

The player has been linked with a possible move to Manchester United, but the Spanish club look to have moved first in the race to sign the Belgian defender. TRUTH RATING 7/10 Vermaelan is in the last year of his contract with Arsenal. Last season he started just seven Premier League games, and manager Arsene Wenger clearly prefers the centre-back partnership of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny. It appears clear that the club captain will leave, after Wenger admitted he could not guarantee the defender regular football. However, to say that Barcelona have already won the race to sign him may be premature. United need to add to their defence too, with Phil Jones in particular looking exposed during their pre-season match against Liverpool. If Sky's sources are correct, this first bid could kick the Manchester club into action. That said, Arsenal will presumably be more willing to let their captain go abroad, rather than see him join up with fellow former Gunner Robin van Persie at their Premier League rivals. Like this?

On Campus
All We Are Saying Is Give Peace a Chance
If anyone could bring these two protagonists together, it would be an AU peace wonk.
We don't know how many graduates of the School of International Service's International Peace and Conflict Resolution Program are working inside the Pearly Gates, but the 200 students currently pursuing master's degrees could follow in the earth-bound footsteps of earlier grads.
IPCR alums can be found at work in national and international organizations that focus on resolving and avoiding conflict, as well as promoting international interchange and understanding. Here's a sampling of organizations where you might run into an AU peace wonk:
• United States Institute of Peace
• Woodrow Wilson International Center
• World Bank
• Nonviolence International
• Carter Center
• Refugees International
• Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia
• Doctors Without Borders
• Save the Children
Peace is in the forefront of many people's minds at AU. As Washington Examiner cartoonist Nate Beeler, SOC/BA '02, knows, no situation is without hope.

Finding Aid to the Tissue Culture Association records
The Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery
1000 Hilltop Circle
Baltimore, Maryland 21250
Tissue Culture Association records, 1946-1986
Collection 16
Size of Collection: 26,300 items, 40 linear feet
Accession numbers: SARCV 1990-01; SARCV 1991-01
Records collected by: Tissue Culture Association
Short Description of Collection
The Tissue Culture Association (TCA) was founded on November 13, 1946 in Hershey, Pennsylvania and incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1964. Initially called the Tissue Culture Commission, the organizations aims were twofold: to prepare media needed by workers in the field and make them available at a reasonable cost and to publish a bibliographic index of tissue culture methods. Early on TCA began offering methods based classes intended to provide training for those working in labs across the country. This education program became so successful that by 1971 the W. Alton Cell Science Center was opened as a permanent home for TCAs educational programs. In addition to the popular Index, the organization published a journal, In Vitro, a newsletter, and a variety of publications related to their educational programs and interests. In 1994 the membership voted to change the name of the organization to the Society for In Vitro Biology. The collection is organized into eight series: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Business Office, Committees, Branches and Divisions, Meetings, and Publications.

Let's say you're Barack Obama and want to raise the debt ceiling without giving any more away to John Boehner. Usually, analysts say, there are two ways to do it. He could invoke the 14th amendment and declare the debt limit unconstitutional, but press secretary Jay Carney has already taken that option off the table. What's more, it would throw the validity of debt issued after the amendment was invoked into some legal doubt, which could lead interest rates to spike. The more clearly legal option is minting a platinum coin, though that option is not without its detractors, among them our own Ezra Klein.
But Edward Kleinbard, former chief counsel at the Joint Committee on Taxation and a law professor at USC, outlined another option in the New York Times this morning. Once the debt limit is reached, he argues, the United States shouldn't acquire more cash by issuing more debt (as in the 14th Amendment option) or by printing more money (as in the platinum coin case) but by issuing IOUs to various creditors.
Suppose that we normally pay Lockheed Martin $1 billion for fighter jets. Under this plan, we would instead give them a "scrip" redeemable for $1 billion in the future, once the federal government got its act together. Paul Krugman has also floated a version of this plan, calling the scrips "moral obligation coupons."
If this sounds nuts, note that it has actually been tried before, and on a large scale. In 2009, the state of California was in the midst of a budget crisis, and to avoid missing payments it started issuing IOUs known as "registered warrants" to various claimants. They eventually issued 450,000 IOUs, collectively worth $2.5 billion, over the course of three months, after which the scrips became redeemable as the crisis had ended. The deadline for redemption was Nov. 10, 2010, after which the warrants became useless.
The scheme worked. It wasn't exactly popular (one item on the State Controller's FAQ on the program is "Who can I call to complain about this?"), and big banks such as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup stopped accepting deposits of the warrants after a couple of weeks, but credit unions accepted them throughout, and the program kept the state in business for two months. Once the state secured a $1.5 billion loan from, ironically, JPMorgan Chase, it called in the warrants for redemption and the experiment ended.
Could that plan work for the United States as a whole? That's less clear. For one thing, as Kleinbard notes, it would be hard for federal scrips to pay interest. That would make them look suspiciously like bonds, which the debt limit says you can't issue if you're at the ceiling. Part of what made the California program work was that while creditors didn't get cash from the state, they did get a security that paid 3.75 percent annual interest. That's a pretty good deal, especially in July 2009, when other interest rates were at rock bottom. As done by the U.S. as a whole, payments would be delayed but not increased. In nominal terms, they'd get all their money back, but adjusting for inflation, they'd get a little bit less.
The market reaction would make or break the plan, and Nancy Vanden Houten, a bond analyst at Stone & McCarthy Research Associates, thinks the reaction might not be all that bad. "I think if bond holders were persuaded that their principal and interest would be paid, that's certainly favorable for the bond market," she says. "It would also mean that the Treasury wouldn't be issuing new debt, as they would still be operating under the debt limit so they couldn't issue new debt, so you would have less supply of securities than you otherwise would, which would be favorable for interest rates as well."
But Vanden Houten stressed that it would require a lot of prep time to work: "For the bond market to react to something like this favorably, it couldn't be a last-minute thing. There would have to be some advance notice." Overall, she prefers it to the 14th Amendment option and views it as on a par with the platinum coin, but thinks the sheer amount of political dysfunction that renders such solutions necessary might spur ratings agencies to downgrade U.S. debt. It didn't matter much when S&P downgraded the U.S. in 2011, but second time might be a charm.

Because it's not the attendance only. It's been proven that in Phoenix, the issue is as much attendance as is the low price. So, if Seattle sells 10000 seats per game, making 420 000 sold tickets per season, if that average price is under $100 I doubt it will go much better financially that it currently is in Phoenix.
Take in consideration he will have to improve his team and make it competitive (which the team currently is) but that won't last long unless the payroll goes up aswell.
What I am trying to say is that Coyotes, be it in Seattle or Quebec will cost more than they currently cost in Phoenix. But their revenues will be much higher aswell.

Great St Mary's
Welcome to Great St Mary's, The University Church.
Great St Mary's has maintained its witness to the faith of Christ for many centuries. It has carried out this mission in many ways as a parish church in the diocese of Ely, as the Church of the University of Cambridge, as a place of prayer and celebration for all the citizens of Cambridge.
It is a community which worships on Sundays and through the week, with a strong musical tradition and a lively programme of activities for all ages including special activities for children. A wide variety of preachers are invited to services and special events.
The church is also a centre of civic services and events, concerts and exhibitions. For information on how to get baptised, or married at Great St Mary's, please visit our baptism and weddings pages. It has the only ring of twelve bells in the county, on which the 'Westminister chimes' of Big Ben, more correctly called the 'Cambridge Quarters', were composed and first rung. The pulpit is on rails so that it can be moved to a central position for major sermons and the church has two organs.
The parish is known as St Mary the Great with St Michael, Cambridge, and we also worship in the chapel of the Michaelhouse Centre in the historic St Michael's Church just 50 yards along Trinity Street.

Celebrating Oregon's History of Conservation: the 1990s
Hear Mort Bishop, board chair in the 90s, on his commitment to conservation.
Mort Bishop served as Oregon's board chair in the mid-90s, leading the Forever Oregon campaign. Listen to a few words from Mort.
The 90s was the decade of expanding responsibilities and partnerships.
With our federal partners, we did biological surveys of vast public lands, resulting in the protection of more than 150 natural areas on federal lands.
Our purchase of the Middle Fork John Day River Preserve in 1990 was a catalyst for multiple partnerships. It launched our work with the Warm Springs and other tribes. I'll never forget the day we turned over 1,760 acres in Logan Valley to the Burns Paiute tribe, restoring to them a beautiful portion of their historic homeland.
A remarkable visionary named Marie Louise Feldenheimer gave us our first $1 million contribution. She had worked for years to purchase forest land on Tillamook Head in memory of her brother. Marie Louise knew Lewis and Clark had seen this forest before it was logged. Her goal was to restore it to the way it was then. I remember her joyful tears and visionary commitment at the dedication in 1994. She said, "Now it will have a thousand years of rest."
Mort Bishop, our chair in the mid-90s, led a major expansion of our portfolio of preserves through his leadership of the Forever Oregon campaign.
We protected some of Oregon's most amazing and treasured places during this time, preserves at Kingston Prairie, Blind Slough Swamp, Sharon Fen and others.
Mort's family roots are deep in Oregon's history — today he carries on a family tradition as president of Pendleton Woolen Mills. He and his wife, Mary Lang, carry on a multi-generational commitment to conservation.
Let's listen to what Mort has to say about that commitment.
In the 1990s, business leaders including Mort, Rocky Dixon, Bob Ridgley and Dan Heagerty worked with us to build our financial strength and stability. They wisely prepared us to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
That first challenge of the decade came right on schedule.

Vegan Indian Cooking
140 Simple and Healthy Vegan RecipesTop Rated Diets of 2017
Anupy Singla, author of the best-selling Indian Slow Cooker brings you 140 simple and healthy Indian vegan recipes in her new cookbook Vegan Indian Cooking.
In her introduction, Singla shares that she doesn't mean to impose her vegan diet on anyone with this cookbook, bur rather share about her journey with food in a way that may benefit other people.
"[This] is not a book that forces a lifestyle upon you. It's not a book that tells you what you should be eaten on any given day," she says. "This book tells you, 'Eat what you want, but make sure what you eat is real, whole food. And open your mind to all of the possibilities.'"
Singla's mother was a vegetarian while her father enjoyed meat on occasion. So growing up, she followed a traditional Indian diet that was primarily vegetarian with an occasional chicken breast on special occasions. Her transition into vegan Indian food wasn't that much of a stretch for her once she gave up meat and diary altogether.
Singla became a vegan in the mid-90s when she was studying at the Unviersity of Hawaii. She'd been suffering from a case of pneumonia, had no energy and her immune system was failing her. After seeing a naturopath, she gave up dairy, meat and seafood for six months to cleanse her system and better assess her food allergies - and the switch stuck.
In this colorful, simple and beautifully-diverse cookbook, Singla shares versions of her favorite recipes with a unique vegan twist. Just a few of the dishes you can expect to find in Vegan Indian Cooking include Baked Samosa Sticks, Cumin Rice, and Punjabi-Style Cabbage, or "Band Gobi."
Singla shares healthful alternatives to rich cream, butter, cheese and meats, and the result, she says, is terrific Indian flavors and nutritious, balanced meals which she believes will appeal to vegans and non-vegans alike.

When I ordered my didn't bother asking if I wanted the steering wheel with the paddle shifters and just ordered the regular one. When I found out I was so angry I called BMW USA and yelled at them for having misleading info on their web site and I yelled at the CA for not inquiring about no cost options. I told them they need to train their employees better and they need to ask if the customer wants any NC options before the order goes through. Well they apologized and ordered me a new car. They screwed up that order too so I had to reorder a third time so the wait starts all over again. The only downside is that they will have to sell two other X1 with the same exterior and interior color combo, so mine won't be that original :-(

[MEMPHIS-UAB: Men] No. 15 UAB won its fourth consecutive match with a 2-1 victory at Memphis Wednesday night on goals by freshman Rami Dajani and sophomore Freddy Ruiz in the first 25 minutes.
"I thought we played really well for about 75
minutes," UAB coach Mike Getman said. "We controlled how the game was played and scored two really nice goals. I thought we really did what we
wanted to."
For the third consecutive match, UAB registered a goal in the opening 20 minutes of the game. In the 19th minute, Dajani broke away from the Memphis defense and
fired a shot into the lower left corner past Memphis keeper Cody Uzcategui. Six minutes later, Ruiz collected a pass from Patrick Huang dribbled past Uzcategui and buried the ball into the empty net for his sixth goal of the season.
"We are a very good attacking team,"
commented Getman. "We have a lot of different people that can score. Tonight, it was two different people scoring. It's hard to focus on one or two guys for us. With us, every guy can
create and get chances."
Memphis finally broke through in the 79th minute on a penalty kick by Mark Sherrod.

'Selfie' was recently announced as Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year and a visit to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram certainly reveals the trend for handheld photos of ourselves. Taking a flattering photo is an instant confidence boost, and there's no wonder we want to show it off to the world.
As so many of our Slimming World success stories show, achieving a weight loss – whether that's a few pounds or several stones – doesn't just have a physical impact on our lives; the difference it has on our confidence is often immense.
In fact, many slimmers agree that increased confidence is one of the biggest benefits of losing weight – and it's not just because they've become more comfortable with their appearance. Setting out to achieve their slimming goal, and doing it, has had a snowball effect on their lives…
Before losing a terrific 2st 3½lbs, Kirsty Daker used to try and blend into the background…
"I've finally found the weight I feel comfortable at. I feel confident and feminine. I've got the clothes bill to prove it! When I bought the first dress I'd worn for years, I was so excited – I texted a friend! I'm definitely more positive and ready to try new experiences. I'm so proud of my achievement – it's given me back my self-belief."
If you'd love to unearth the confident you and make 2014 the year that your profile picture becomes a stunning selfie, find your nearest group here.

Investigators this morning are looking into a students claim she was raped Tuesday afternoon in a restroom at Clarke Central High School, Athens-Clarke police said.
The 14-year-old girl didnt immediately report the alleged assault to school officials but waited until she got home and told her mother shed been attacked between 4 and 5:30 p.m., according to police.
The alleged attack would have been after school hours; classes at the South Milledge Avenue school end at 3:40 p.m.
Forensic examiners checked out the girl on Tuesday, according to police Lt. David Leedahl, but he would not say if they found evidence the girl had been raped or had sexual relations of any kind.
"Were still sorting it out," said Leedahl, a supervisor in the Athens-Clarke police Person Crimes Unit. "The case is under investigation to determine if a crime occurred, and the detective who has been assigned the case is at the school right now as we speak."
The girl told police she was approached in a school hallway by a male student she knew only by sight, and after they talked a while he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the restroom, where he raped her, police said.
Investigators will review the schools video surveillance system for any evidence of an assault, Leedahl said.
Clarke County School District officials couldnt be reached for comment this morning.

I search the stock by keywords 'nice photo', what I have on my mind? First three photos/illustrations that amused me will be subjects of this article. My first tip was this one almost monochrome photo of cat on a tree, really good one I think subject is good visible on white background, and in background there are some color trees that proved that this is really a photo not illustration. I wonder was it taken over light or is it a PS manipulation? Take some moment to see what else this photographer have in his/her portfolio and I was shocked to see that he/she is a newbie to DT have five images and this is first one photo in his/her portfolio. Good job I think gave us some more to amused.

This project aims to improve the quality of life and the functional capacity of surviving landmine victims in the Middle East. In collaboration with partners in Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank and Gaza, College Montmorency is helping transfer knowledge of orthopaedic and prosthesis care to local technicians and clinicians. The project's ultimate goal is to improve amputees' rehabilitation process and support them in their eventual efforts to secure their basic human needs.
Assistance to the victims includes emergency medical attention, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, the provision of prostheses and psychological support, as well as support for their reintegration into society.
This is a new feature, part of CIDA's efforts towards increasing transparency. Information will only be available for projects approved after October 15, 2011. For other projects, information on expected results is usually included in the description.
Results as of the end of the project include: More than 1,200 participants, including 473 women, attended 40 trainings in fields related to physical rehabilitation, such as orthotics and prosthetics, patient treatment approaches and records management. Workshops on gender mainstreaming were delivered to 64 individuals from 20 stakeholders organizations working with mine victims and persons with disabilities. The project contributed to improving the competency of local technicians, specialists and family caretakers to provide appropriate physical rehabilitation treatments and services. In all, training and follow-up coaching with project stakeholders reached an estimated 3,000 individuals, thereby improving the quality of rehabilitation services and possibilities of social reintegration offered to persons with amputations/disabilities in Lebanon, Jordan and the West Bank.

I will be moving to Carver this October from Virginia, looking to meet some of the local waterfowlers for info on the local area and get pointed in the right direction. I'm familiar with the south shore but have been away for the last 25 years with the Navy!
I have all the equipment needed for Sea Ducks, Puddle ducks and geese in the field or water and a G3 2072 with a 115 Yamaha.
I'm also an avid bowhunter.
I look forward to meeting all you sometime down the road and maybe getting together for a hunt.
Good luck this season and be safe :salude:

A face for blogging
Below is my recent appearance as The Girl in a Bright Blue Shirt #1 on KXAN News.
Moving? Don't forget the pets
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Evonna Patanella and her daughter have a big move ahead of them.
"We're moving to Singapore," said Patanella. "It's not like moving in the U.S. where you can load up a truck and drive and get there."
Besides moving the furniture, there are two things that can't be left behind- Abby and Tessa, the family dogs.
Yet, getting the pets to Singapore is a complicated process. From health documents to having them quarantined, it can be confusing.
Luckily, an Austin company is helping them out.
"We do door-to-door logistics, pick up at the residence, deliver to airport, all the flight bookings and then pack up and deliver on the receiving end," said Rachel Farris, with Pet Relocation.
And since Pet Relocation started the service, it has moved some interesting animals.
"We've moved frogs from Switzerland, 14 horses to Honduras," said Farris.
Even a Siamese fighting fish was moved to Amsterdam.
"We had an employee that worked for Starbucks and she had a fish named Franchesco," said Farris. "She always called him her significant other. It was her dearly beloved fish."
The fish was so loved that she paid $2,500 to move it.
To get overseas, Pet Relocation recommends using Continental or KLM.
"We only use airlines that have staff set up to watch the pets to make sure they are staying healthy, staying hydrated and they are going to arrive safe," said Farris.
While it's hard to make beloved pets travel thousands of miles, it is nice to know someone is making sure they get there safely. Pet relocation services start around $1,000.

Re: Another wheel hop thread
(I installed the axles first, and they eliminated 100% of my wheel hop. I installed Specter Werkes bushings later for their other benefits.)
I have not seen any reports for the newer, more complete cradle bushing replacements. I am somewhat skeptical about their capacity to totally cure wheel hop mostly because GM resorted to the asymmetric axles with the V2, which suggests that a stiffer cradle attachment is only part of what is required, but I could be wrong.
The Spectre bushings reduced the hop for me by about 35-50%

I just got done installing an eps cam, headers, ported heads, mm, transmission mount and revshift rear cradle and trailing arm bushings. So far my wheel hop is 98% gone. I have not dropped the clutch yet but have taking off from a stop and just got wheel spin. This was not the case before. I had terrible wheel hop. I will do some clutch dumps later in the week and report back. If things stay they way they are I say the axles are not needed to get rid of the hop.
Re: Another wheel hop thread
There are a lot of combinations to mitigate or even completely eliminate the wheel hop. The delrin or poly cradle bushings is a good start. I skipped all the axle stuff and opted for the CS 8.8 (which I plan to install once I get a full weekend to myself). My decision going that route was because it cures the wheel hop, eliminates the parade clunk, and capable of handling a clutch dump with ease - and adding more power later.

Set in the seaside community of Laguna Beach, the Irvine Bowl is the host to concerts, exhibits, and more. The annual Pageant Of the Master's is nearby, making the Irvine Bowl the center of the arts in Orange County.
Irvine Bowl Information
Though the first James Irvine did indeed start out "without a dollar in his pocket," he accumulated and passed on to his son the vast acreage of the Irvine Ranch, and also left a fortune in San Francisco real estate to his wife and son. James Harvey Irvine, Sr. then developed the Southern California property into an agricultural empire which, along with the San Francisco properties, enabled him to become one of the wealthiest men in California. Hanging over a door in his office, perhaps a reflection of Irvine's understanding of his family's humble beginnings, was a large red sign that stated: "Often the best way to show warm sympathy is with cold cash."
James Harvey Irvine, Sr. was in a position to lend a helping hand to many - and many held their hands out to him. Deserving men and ideas were helpeSd without hesitation - and without fanfare. What he did for the local good, he didn't want the public to know about. Remembering his father's considerable suffering over bad press, Irvine refused to have any conversations with newspaper reporters. Whether they intended to say something nice or bad, he wanted no publicity.
James Harvey Irvine, Sr. is remembered for many things: his agricultural genius, his love for the land and his careful planning of its development, his business acumen, his honesty and integrity, his love for his country, his love for his family, his concern for those who worked on the land. Three men who were close to him remember him best as a man of few words who responded to the needs of others with action - and often with "cold cash."
