How does it feel ... to own 20 versions of Dylan's 'Rolling Stone'?
By Andrew Heavens
LONDON (Reuters) - "I need a dump truck mama to unload my head," Bob Dylan sang on his raucous 1965 B-side "From A Buick 6".
And here's that brain dump, every note Dylan recorded in one 14-month burst of creativity. It comes in an 18-CD "Ultra-Deluxe" box set - "Bob Dylan: The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12", out in November, yours for $599.99.
The price and scale of the release, drawn from such a short period, has jolted fans and left many wondering how much further record companies are prepared to go to mine back catalogs for physical product in this era of mass piracy and streaming.
"Is Bob Dylan's latest album the craziest box set ever?" the BBC asked on its arts website.
There are cheaper 2-CD and 6-CD sets for devotees who still have some sort of grip on reality. But owners of the full version will get 20 (yes, 20) versions of "Like A Rolling Stone", and 359 takes of other songs, including studio rejects, rehearsals, false starts and "breakdowns".
The set starts with the first sketches of Dylan's classic "Bringing It All Back Home" album on Jan. 13, 1965, speeds through "Highway 61 Revisited", and ends in a Denver hotel room, with the poet-performer playing the last track of his visionary double LP "Blonde on Blonde" on March 12, 1966.
Gold dust for true obsessives, you would have thought. But the cost is testing some of his most ardent admirers.
"It's just too rich for my blood. The seven plus hours and 110 tracks on the 6-CD set will suffice!", Derek Barker, the editor of Britain-based Dylan journal ISIS, told Reuters. Continued...

I finally figured out the sewing/stitching method for the armor vest, after years of trial and error! The thing I kept getting screwed up on was the sleeves, and with TK409's assistance (what can I say, the man rocks!), I'm finally able to present the Armor Vest 4.0:
NOTE: I still have to put the zipper (I prefer zippers to Velcro) and add strap-holes. The shell is made from the TDH-approved fabric, and the liner is some old leftover jumpsuit material (cotton twill, previously dyed).
Using the MoM pictures as a guide, I noticed that the sleeves are sewn between the shell and liner; on my older versions, I simply added the sleeves last, creating an extra seam-line on the edge of the armhole. Also, the screen-worn vest has no top-stitching along any of the outer edges of the vest itself, meaning the vest was sewn from the inside-out. At times, it kinda looked like a Mobius strip when putting it together! Straight pins are my new friends...

On the software side, the phone has Nokia Messaging 3.0 built in, as well as Facebook and Twitter access straight from the homescreen.
The Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type obviously follows the lead of the recently unveiled X3 Touch and Type, which was the company's first to combine the best of both worlds - touchscreen and regular alphanumeric keypads. The C3-01 will be available sometime in Q4 at EUR 145 before taxes and subsidies.

Set in 1 hectare of beautiful private parkland near the Cote d'Azur villages of Le Bar-sur-Loup and Tourrettes-sur-Loup.
Private but not isolated, Riveloup is situated by the river Loup, the sound of the water gently lapping over the rocks will create a calming and therapeutic atmosphere whilst you relax poolside finding a quiet place within. In the summer afternoons you'll hear the great sound of the singing Cicadas!
The views are tremendous on all sides, with the mountains rising dramatically in the background. Riveloup enjoys spectacular views of the Gorge du Loup and the hilltop Medieval Villages of Le Bar-sur-Loup and Gourdon.
Set in a magnificent flat lawned garden, planted with South of France umbrella pines, palms, olives and cedars. There are bushes of flowering oleander, jasmine, lavender, roses and an orchard.

We have lots of restaurant and day trip suggestions in our comprehensive welcome pack and we're eager to help make your stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
Riveloup is very well situated, bridging the gap between exploring in land and enjoying the coast. The coastal town can get extremely busy in the summer and the traffic heavy, at Riveloup you'll be able to choose when you want the buzz, but you can come back late afternoon to enjoy a more peaceful time by the pool.
The sound of the river is very soothing and there are stunning views to enjoy from different angles of the property. It is close enough to town like Valbonne, Grasse, Chateauneuf, Le Rouret, Bar-sur-Loup or Tourrettes-sur-Loup to enjoy a meal out at night.

We have been here less han two weeks and will stay for another 3 weeks. I write this review so that anyone looking for a spot to really relax in will consider Riveloup and perhaps reserve their holidays while it is still available. The owner, Liesel and her husband, Stewart, are a delightful couple whose desire it is to make guests comfortable. We are renting the guest house as we are only two (and three when our daughter comes to visit over my birthday weekend). The guest house is very comfortable with two leather couches, a well stocked kitchen, and two large glass doors that let in a lot of light. Everything the previous reviewer described is still the same. The WiFi works well, and the TV has UK channels. There are a number of very good restaurants in the area. We took the train to Milano to visit La Scala and stayed 2 nights to enjoy visiting the Duomo as well as the Museums there. A drive up to Gourdon should be a must. For an evening stroll to the "local dog run", within a lovely little park with the ruins of an old paper mill, is a prerequisite if one wants to have a good night's sleep! The river Loup gurgles along the property and is probably a refreshing addition to the pool on hot summer days. All in all, Riveloup is a lovely place to spend a family vacation. Just one warning: watch for the bumps in the road just before the electronic gates!
We had a wonderful extended family holiday at Riveloup , there were 15 of us,we 3 older members stayed in the guest house which was ideal with its own area of seating and kitchen for a gentle start to the day . The rest of the family occupied the main house and the 5 teens throughly enjoyed their own rooms and tv (Olympics) . The pool and river were great and lots of swimming fun and exploring was had , plenty of towels were to hand . The more energetic did some walking through the nearby gorge which was very lovely with stunning views . The house is very well equipped and clean, lots of fridge space which is important when feeding 15 !! We all enjoyed eating together at the large outdoor tables and adding to the atmosphere with candles which were to hand . The coast is a short drive away where the charming town and exclusive port of Antibes provided an interesting visit . Liesel is an excellent host who did her best to provide us with information as we needed it . An amazing area to visit ,off the well trodden path but not isolated ,we had a great holiday !
Beautiful and extremely comfortable house, with a large number of bedrooms to accommodate big families, in a lovely environment. Furniture is perfectly suited and the swimming-pool is great. We loved it. Last but lot least, Liesel, the owner, is very nice and friendly.
A fantastic property in a wonderfully scenic location. We were welcomed by Liesel on arrival and given a quick overview of the property and nearby facilities and services. The friendliness and thoughtfulness of the owners was remarkable, not least of all in their assistance with getting a tire replaced, allowing us to focus on enjoying our holiday.
The property itself is large and spacious with plenty of room for large groups. It is well equipped with large and neatly maintained grounds, with something to keep everyone entertained, from toddlers to grandparents, making it ideal for extended families. The views from the garden is magnificent with both Le Bar-Sur-Loup and Gourdon clearly visible. The small lavender patch is a delight for anyone interested in photographing butterflies and other insects. It is a pleasure to prepare food in the kitchen and the covered porch next to the swimming pool is a great place for meals or just relaxing in a chair with a good book. On a warm day you can cool down in the immaculately maintained swimming pool, or walk down the the Loup river that runs past the property and take a refreshing dip in the river.
The property is easily accessible through a short 45 minute drive from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, making it convenient and easy to get to. It is conveniently located for day trips exploring the pre-Alps and nearby villages, or for longer day trips further into Provence. Visiting the lavender fields around Valensole or dipping your toes into the Mediterranean along the Côte d'Azur are all options for longer day excursions.
In summary, a wonderful property, well equipped with something for everyone, conveniently located and cared for by friendly and thoughtful owners.
We stayed in the Cottage for almost a week. The property was as advertised and location beautiful next to s crystal clear river and with superb mountain views. It's a large property and would be great for families although we were a couple only. It's is a very quiet location but with easy access to various towns in the region and circa 30 mins to the coast and Antibe. Liesel was a great host and could not have done any more for us. The cottage was very spacious and well set up with everything you would need including English language TV not always available in Provence. We operate a commercial villa and we know what to look for. We thoroughly recommend it.
This was our second family (15) holiday spanning 3 generations. Our first trip was to South of Spain and we decided we'd try somewhere different. We only had a week to appreciate the numerous facilities of Riveloup and South of France but the house and surrounding area lived up to, and in so many ways exceeded our expectations.
I wish we could have given an extra half star 4.5 would've been the ideal score.
Liesel had already shown her commitment to customer service by buying a guitar following a simple request to see if there was one available. She also arranged a table for lunch for us all at a near by restaurant pre-check-in - and even helped us by calling them to explain that we'd be 6 short following a delay in the flight from Edinburgh)
Liesel greeted us as we arrived in dribs and drabs (you need Sat Nav - and to trust your instincts - we ended up about 200 yards short of Riveloup - but called Liesel & she came to the gates - just past the fruit / eggs farm - to show us the way) a brief handover and explanation of everything and we were ready. She explained that we were her first rental since buying Riveloup, and to tell her if there were any problems whatsoever.
The place in Spain had mixed standards of bedroom - but Riveloup bedrooms are all of a similar standard - comfortable beds and plenty hanging space - good showers etc. Could do with more power points to charge up all the inevitable phones, cameras etc. The important thing was nobody felt the were missing out. However the upstairs room (allocated to the senior citizens) had the benefit of extra space on the balcony with different views.
It became clear that the sunbeds inherited from the previous owners had seen better days. 4 ripped in quick succession and when we told Liesel delivered 8 later that day. Can't ask for more
The cramped kitchen is a problem but Liesel is well aware and has plans to improve the this later n the year.
Having a separate property for families, or party animals makes sense!!
Gardens etc
The outside area is fantastic - where to begin, highlights include:
- the spacious pool - focus for the bulk of the week
- river pool, fabulous spot (maybe some steps down?)
- large mature gardens - space to chill & get away from things if needed
- the BBQ's - top quality Webber and of course the Braai
- activities - table tennis & trampoline proved hugely popular
- dining table - focus no 2 for the meals snacks etc
- rattan garden furniture top notch
Riveloup is located down a peaceful country lane which runs beside the River Loup. It's just five minutes by car (1.8 km) from the picturesque village of Le Bar-sur-Loup with its local shops and good ion of restaurants – whether for a light lunch or celebratory dinner, pizza or gourmet cuisine. The larger shopping area of Chateauneuf is about 8 minutes away and it's 20 minutes to the lively market towns of Valbonne and Mougins and the historic centres of Grasse and Vence. Cannes, Antibes and the coast are about 45min drive in the summer and it's 25 km to Nice Cote d'Azur Airport.
Set in some of the most spectacular countryside of the Cote d'Azur, surrounded by the mountains of the gorge with breathtaking views over the perched hilltop villages of Le Bar and Gourdon. Activities are on the doorstep – golf, tennis, horse riding, mountain biking, paragliding & hanggliding, go-carting, and in winter skiing at the nearby slopes of Greolieres (about 30 min).

Randers-Aarhus Highlights:
Feilhaber scored with a sliding shot in the 45th minute after taking a centering pass from Frederik Krabbe.
Feilhaber, who credited his strong play to the confidence and fitness he gained playing for the USA this summer, had assisted on the winning goal in AGF's 1-0 win over Aalborg on opening day.
"It's a great time to be an Aarhus fan," said Feilhaber.
His performance at Randers earned him Man of the Match honors on Danish television with a record 94 percent of the fan votes.
American teammate Jeremiah White was in the United States and did not play against Randers.
Feilhaber Interview:
Other Americans in the top level of Danish soccer:
-- Danny Califf (played the first 70 minutes for FC Midtjylland in a 4-0 loss at Silkeborg);
-- Marcus Tracy (Aalborg) and Michael Parkhurst (FC Nordsjælland) were off as the game involving their respective teams was postponed.

Henry Merritt "Hank" Paulson Jr.
Secretary of the Treasury
United States of America
Dear Hank:
I hope you don't mind me calling you Hank. You seem to be such a nice guy and so friendly with businessman types that I thought I'd be rather informal with you right from the start and be your buddy if you will. I've been reading quite a bit about you lately Hank, and I think it is just great that you are coming to the rescue of all of these private companies who have financial problems, even if you are sometimes taking them by force like with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and even if you are using my taxpayer money to do so. It seems like you have the "country first" bigger picture in mind. I think I understand the idea that if one of them fails, many more people will feel the pain, even though you didn't think that the brothers over at Lehman deserved the benefits of your funds (excuse me, taxpayer funds).
So I own this small gas station. It's in a rural stretch and it's been in my family for nearly 160 years. While it's no big insurance or mortgage firm, it is important to me, and my family. But it is most important to the hundreds of customers and taxpayers that count on me to be open every day to serve them gas, coffee, and a friendly smile. The reason for my letter, Hank, is that my gas station needs help with some short-term bills and I simply don't have enough cash to get by. Opening the station with $50.00 in the cash drawer may not happen in a few days if I don't get help, so I need a small loan to get me through the rough patch. I promise I will pay it back with interest, but boy, that 11.5 % rate you gave AIG is a bit rough!
There is no other gas station within a 35 miles radius, so our presence is very important. Since the price of gas is now over $4.00 now-a-days, it could cost someone nearly $10.00 just to get to another station, or worse yet, run out and get stuck in the middle of nowhere, creating other rippling events. I figure that our customers, who, by the way are all U.S. taxpayers, truly benefit from our presence. Quite frankly, we are too important to fail. If we fail, the station 35 miles up the road may fail also, and then the one after that as well. Pretty soon, a pandemic could develop and affect many more taxpaying gas station customers for miles. I can't imagine that you would want that to happen, would you Hank?
If you want, please feel free to install your own manager to oversee things, even if he never ran a gas station before. My wife could use a break anyway. I do have some things out back that we could sell to raise cash. They consist of a stack of old tires (some have pretty good tred left on them) and I have some tools and old signs to sell as well.
I do have a slight confession to make though, for something I did that was almost a one-time thing that may have weakened my cash position. I just love the gambling tables, and over the years I have lost a few hundred here and there. I am sorry to say that this debt is unrecoverable. But I promise that if you give me this loan, I will not undertake this type of risk again ever. In fact, you can send one of your regulators around every so often to examine my books. I'll even give them some free coffee while their here if that is okay with you Hank?
Please let me know soon as we may not have enough money to put in the cash register to open by Monday. Maybe we can meet and pull an all-nighter to work this out, then, announce it the next day before the other stations get wind of it?
Yours truly,
A taxpayer in need

Casey McNerthney wrote:The trial of former University of Washington student Amanda Knox took an odd turn Saturday as lawyers in Italy debated the significance of a Seattle party at which Knox was cited for residential disturbance – her only prior documented contact with police.
Knox took responsibility, was given a $269 fine, which she paid with some money pooled from friends. The ticket was issued June 30, 2007, and the case was closed the next month, according to court records.
Prosecutors in Italy say the event shows a glimpse of Knox's wild side and that she didn't tell the whole truth about the party.
Here is the text of the narrative, written by Seattle police officer Jason Bender:
[area=Seattle Police Report]In the city of Seattle
I was on uniformed patrol in the marked unit as 3U5. At approximately 0028 hours, I responded to the report of a loud party in the listed location. The complainant relayed to dispatch that participants from the party were throwing rocks at his house and at passing cars. The complainant requested officer not contact him. Upon arrival, I noted loud amplified music coming from the listed address. The music could be heard from a distance greater than 75 ft from the source. I also noted several rocks in the street. I did not locate any damage at that time. I contacted a party participant and had them retrieve a resident.
S1/Knox contacted me (in front of the house). She stated that she was one of the current residents. She stated that she was the one who was hosting the party (as she was moving out). She stated that she was not aware of any rock throwers at the gathering.
I issued S1/Knox this infraction for the noise violation and a warning for the rock throwing. I explained how dangerous and juvenile that action was.
See Cad event 264012 for further.
No further action taken at this time.[/area]

Raise up and squat a few times to find your maximum range of movement. As you squat, your feet will slide out to their ideal width and you will also notice that they will angle out to where they want to be for this. Have a friend or significant other, measure the width (center of foot to center of foot) and then use a straight edge along your heels and measure the angles that your feet have assumed. Match these measurements on your board and go ride. Most people find the best performance overall and most comfort after setting their board up this way.
I've done that before. The funny thing is, I ended up pretty much at the 68cm I'm using. I may be weird, but squatting/getting very low that way is a lot more comfortable for me. With the wide stance, I'm utilizing more muscles and it's less strenuous.
Thinking about it, I was doing fencing in a previous life - that may well be the reason I'm so comfortable with the wide stance.
I was wrong about the angulation thing, I mentioned in the first post. There is no difference.
As for some of the issues you describe, even with a narrower stance, you can use good independent flexion and extension as well as overall lower riding posture to absorb vibration and chatter from shitty snow conditions.
Sure, I do that. But that only works to a certain point, if the speed/chop frequency gets too high, things are far better with the wider stance; the board cuts better through the chop, it has less leverage against my legs and I have a lot more strength.
Doing some squatting exercises, the strength difference is surprisingly large - that may actually be the biggest factor (in that I can leave my legs 'looser').
Too wide of a stance can be just as limiting to this as too narrow. Additionally, fore-aft movements timed right can help quiet the ride. Again, too wide a stance will limit your ability to do fore-aft movements as well.
My fore-aft movements work better with the wide stance. I have no problem getting completely on my front or back leg (beyond a 90 deg angle board/leg). With a 68cm stance vs. a 60cm stance, I'm getting close to 8cm more weight shifting range.
It should not be necessary to bow your knees out to "derocker" the board to increase turn radius. Simply toning down the tilting movements can accomplish a lot of this.
Yeah, doing my carving experiments, I think I was using a lot of that to cover sloppy technique. At the same time, the board is rather stiff, I'm a little below the minimum weight listed for the board and once it's on edge, it turns extremely fast. (The board has really been exposing a lot of sloppy stuff, I was doing.)
When I was turning the hips, I probably rockered the board even more.
With the wide stance, I can perform smoother edge switches and set the new edge better (when I don't rotate the hips). So I don't need to de-rocker the board, if I watch my hips.
Even so, there can be times when this movement has value in your carve and I would again say that if you find that you can not do this, it is a clear indication that you have indeed too wide of a stance.
It was turning the hips that screwed me up here. If I keep them in line with the board, I have no problems going beyond a 90deg angle between lower legs and board. If I don't turn my hips too much, I can get the board flat with the wide stance (ok, with the narrower stance, I can 'camber' the board).
Anyway, even if it may not sound like it, I do appreciate your feedback. Even if I don't go to narrower stance (it looks like, I can make things work quite well; I had some runs with really clean pencil-tracks), it's helpful to think about what I may or may not be be giving up and where I may encounter bio-mechanical limitations.

Great looking - just be sure you properly measure. Mine wouldn't fit in the holes on my boat where I wanted to use them, although they did fit in another location. Measure, and keep in mind the tapers on these. But the quality seems fine - a nice addition to my boat for sure.

Poor Stainless Rusts very quickly. I bought a 3 3/4 hole saw to install these in my boat. The saw was $20.! Can't use it for anything else as it's such an odd size....They looked great till my second fishing trip! They have already started to rust and I wash my boat well after every saltwater use. I would love to find out how I get a replacement under the warranty? I probably have to pay shipping and handling both ways, so it'll cost me more than buying new ones on Prime!!!!!! Do not buy.

The Three Guidelines of Penis Enlargement – Advice from the Gambler Who Loves the Girls (No Space Cowboy)
I've just one vice and that's that I love to play Blackjack. Well, that isn't completely accurate, as my other vice is truly ladies. But that is not just a vice; this is the best present from God so far as I will tell. In my own guide, women create life worth dwelling to get a guy who enjoys ladies. And that I do.
Anyhow, that is where I acquired the nickname "Blackjack" and that is since I really like to play blackjack. Yes, I understand gaming is not the very best of issues a guy ought to be performing but I actually do understand my restrictions. Despite the fact that I'm a little of the gambler, there's no means I'd actually risk on penis enhancement.
Let us discuss that. I love my manhood and he's my buddy. That'll seem silly however it's the reality. He protects me and that I look after him. We're one and also the same. I obtain the sensation he is kind of an inferior type of myself. Occasionally delicate, occasionally difficult, occasionally gentle, and usually prepared to get a little bit of pleasure or spelunking (that is extravagant vocabulary for cave search).
Today, with my little pardner usually by my part, all set researching with me, the final point I do want to do is provide any possible damage or discontent to him. In the end, it is as much as me to maintain him. Therefore, I'll acknowledge, I am a little selective using the lady-friends I expose him to. The final point I'd like is him to become angry at me for presenting him with a small microbial or viral animal that'll provide him a frustration. Quite simply: I enjoy it secure.
Obviously, anything could often be increased in existence. This is exactly what the people are about. We are not only pleased with residing in some cave. We've to construct skyscrapers and mansions to reside in. That will be excellent; you realize, to each their own. Why be satisfied with mediocrity when you are able possess the greatest?
Therefore, it simply is sensible that males might come across the thought of enhancing their penises and question what it could try expand their small buddies. Why don't you? If we are able to take a bomb and place a guy about the moon then we ought to have the ability to expand our penises… Truly, could it be that difficult to complete?
Well, that is where the gambler in me comes in. But this really is also where Mr. Smart enters the picture. You observe, you will find techniques available that will help you expand your manhood; however they do not usually provide you with the benefits you would like. Envision enhancing your manhood to understand that it's not going to perform any more!? Envision enhancing your manhood simply to shed the fantastic sensation and feeling that God has directed at him and also you!?
You can observe where I am choosing this. You will find methods to expand your manhood which have a diploma of danger for them. I won't mean them out since it's not ethical to talk about others once they aren't give represent themselves. The underside line is the fact that you are able to determine on your own what approaches for penis growth pills enlargement possess a large level of danger. It is called good sense. Utilize it and you'll be amazed at just how much easier your lifetime is likely to be.
Therefore, back again to penis enlargement and gaming. The stark reality is I'm-not likely to risk with my manhood. For this reason, after I did so my study, that I sensed the approach to enhancement that employs normal penis workouts may be the approach to take. Yes, this is exactly what I determined.

- - Why don't dogs bury their feces anymore? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/448362-why-dont-dogs-bury-their-feces-anymore.html)
Why don't dogs bury their feces anymore?
I've noticed that over the past 15 years or so male dogs don't seem to raise one of their legs when they urinate and dogs in general don't seem to kick their legs to bury their feces after they're done. Is this just me or have dogs stopped doing this?
Both of my males raise their leg to urinate. And the female does kick the dirt onto her feces and urine.
My female likes to kick dirt when she's done. She's not exactly covering it just giving it a little dusting.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Must be just you. :) Out of the three males and one female dogs I have/have had, ALL four would lift their leg to mark territory (yes, even Keeta!). The kicking their legs back is not that they are trying to bury their poop, but that they are trying to spread their work out over a larger area to claim their superiority over other dogs.
Maybe you just happen to be around more submissive dogs, or younger immature dogs, because leg lifting and odor spreading is still very much a behavior found in the domestic dog.
Why should they do that when they can simply flush?
Most likely because dogs do not actively seek to cover their feces like cats do. Dogs gather a lot of information through feces, so it would be counter intuitive for them. The scratching that dogs do afterwards is another form of scent marking; they have scent glands on the bottom of their feet which they activate when they're kicking up a dirt storm.
I recently fostered and then adopted a sociable, young male who kicks dirt over his poo. Or rather, he does some rear foot action kicking back in a way that I suppose could do that, but mostly looks like a victory dance. A few months later, my youngest female started the behavior -- she's 2 years old (not a pup, but still impressionable). It appears to be a socially learned behavior--she never did it until she saw him do it (she likes him, so she's emulating a dog she thinks is "cool").
As for your other observation, the only male I had who only lifted his leg on one side but not the other ended up having HD--we eventually figured out that he avoided lifting on his "bad" side. My other males lift on both sides. If you have one that only lifts on one side, you might want to check the hips with an x-ray, just to be sure they are both okay.
Both my boys lift their legs and one boy and both girls 'kick it up' after having a poop. My pittie is the worst, we were on a road trip once and she kicked up big clumps of dirt and grass onto a car windshield, while the owners were standing beside their vehicle. Gotta love dogs lol.
My older female kicks up grass with incredible gusto. She's kicked dirty at me while I'm trying to collect the poop in a bag and also ruined someone's nice lawn once.
your not around enough dogs!

Here are some upcoming events.....
The PATRIOTS RIDERS of AMERICA meet the 3rd Sunday of every month at the American Legion Post 110 in Port Charlotte.
Time of the meeting is 14:00
See Map Below
The Patriot Riders of America at first glance appears to be a group of average people who enjoy motorcycle riding, going places, and having fun. But take a closer look; it is an elite group whose mission is helping a forgotten group of Americans. The American Veterans. In that mission, we are in need of land or a house to be donated .
We plan on using the donation to help veterans get back on their feet.

About Sensitive Briar: Technically a legume, this plant�s unusual name comes from its characteristic wilting when touched or shaken by wind. Any disturbance stimulates the movement of water through the interior of the plant�s cells, which causes the dramatic folding of the leaves. The genus name Mimosa comes from the Greek word for �mimic,� describing this reaction. The species name honors Thomas Nuttall, an influential botanist.
Sensitive Briar Germination: Direct sow in early spring. To soften the hard coating on these seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak them in warm water overnight before sowing. Sow them in early spring, planting on the surface of the soil since light helps them germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 21-30 days. The seed can also be started indoors. Transplant seedlings as soon as they can safely be handled and there is no chance of frost.
Growing Sensitive Briar Seeds: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established; they usually will not produce blooms until their second year of growth, due to the development of their tap root. Mature plants tolerate drought well and flourish in dry or rocky areas; they usually do not spread. This plant�s unusual flowers attract bees, butterflies, and birds.
Harvesting Sensitive Briar: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Saving Sensitive Briar Seeds: This plant will eventually produce rough 3-5� pods that will split and release their seeds. Harvest the pods as soon as they have begun to dry, but before they split open. Separate the seeds from the pods. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.
Detailed Sensitive Briar Info: Origin: US Native Wildflower Other Common Names: Cat's Claw, Nuttall's Sensitive Brier, Bashful Brier, Shame-boy, Devil's Shoestrings, Sensitive Briar Duration: Perennial Bloom Time: Summer Height: 24-48 inches Spacing: 12-48 inches Light: Full Sun Soil Moisture: Medium to Dry USDA Zone: 4a-9b Seeds Per Oz: 2,400 Produces a trailing, vine-like plant with prickly stems, fern-like foliage, and 1/2 to 1 1/2" bright pink globular flowers.

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
Mrs Polkiss was the mother of Piers Polkiss. She brought her son to the Dursley's house for an outing with Dudley in 1991. In 1995, Dudley told his mother, Petunia, that he was going out for tea at the Polkisses, when in fact he was planning to cause trouble with his gang of friends.
As Vernon Dursley's initial reaction to the aftermath of Dudley's Dementor attack was that Mrs Polkiss had served something foreign for tea, it is a possibility that Mrs Polkiss has a fondness for international dishes. However, it is more likely that this comment was merely an example of Vernon's ignorance, and completely unrelated to anything that Vernon may have known about Mrs Polkiss.

I think that the assassination of diplomats abroad is a really big deal. There was obviously a failing in intelligence or really bad judgement involved in placing the US ambassador somewhere he couldn't be kept safe. There needs to be a thorough investigation of how this happened and preventative measures to avoid another such.attack.
That said, I'm not even remotely concerned with what Obama or Rice said or didn't say about it after the fact. This isn't a partisan issue. The breakdown in security and intelligence happened *before* the attacks.
ETA: I don't really see why national security happenings are a matter for public discussion. They are supposed to be secret for reason.

Hi, I want to purchase envato birthday bundle.I have a payoneer card,how can I link that card to deposit some cash here? Thanks in advance
Unfortunately you can't, unless you have that same card linked to your Paypal or Moneybookers.
I don't know Envato well enough to be able to answer this question fully, but I just wanted to point out that, as long as you have funds on your Payoneer card, you can use it anywhere that MasterCard is accepted, so if Envato lets you purchase the birthday bundle with a MasterCard, your Payoneer card should work (as long as you have funds on it, of course).

Engraved radio knobs..paypal sent.
Let me know when the sunroof knob is a reality, too!
Any engraved knobs left?
Hi Guys
Thanks for the orders!!!!!. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. For those of you who might not be aware these Knobs & Lock pulls are uncoated hand buffed finishes ( which I think looks great and is easy to maintain). Quite a few of you expressed an interest in anodizing and trying to match the stuff you already have. I believe some of you mentioned a guy named "Marty" who used to make these Knobs & Pulls. If anybody knows how to reach him maybe we could get his input. I want to make sure everybody gets the finishes they want. So I spoke to one of our Platers on Wed, He gave me some color chips ( See my photo album). There is a ("Core or Batch") charge of anywhere from $70.00 to $120.00 depending on the Plater. I'm going to see him Mon. so I will have more firm prices then. I suggest that those of you who want some type of anodizing get together and decide what you want ( probably two colors like Clear & Black ). I will be happy to arrange this for you guys and we will adjust the price accordingly depending on how many batches. For those of you who are OK with the uncoated look we will ship as soon as avail. Right now I have (5) sets of knobs with the "V" logo and (2) plain sets ready if anybody wants them uncoated. I will Keep you all posted on my progress. I hope everybody Had a Happy Thanksgiving !!!!.
I'll take mine uncoated please. Already paypal'ed last week.
l send some uncoated ones to Brian on Mon. so he can get some out next week.
What was the final word on engraving "dimples" on the radio knobs? If I can get them that way, put me down for a set and a set of door pulls. Thanks- Chad
Hi Chad
The three choices for the group buy are Plain Flat, Plain Dimpled ( like OEM ) and "V" engraved. When you order from Brian Please specify your choice.
Thanks Peter
Did you get my payment sent for both locks/knobs w/ "v" engraved and uncoated? (email@example.com)
Payment just sent. Could you please send me a confirmation of payment recieved and tracking number.(gina@galaxy............)
Hello all, again.. I sent the drawings of all of this stuff to someone on the forum. Rob Z. I can send them to sea v if needed. The locks are difficult to make and I bagged doing them as it was too expensive coupled with the plating. The pickeling process or frost annodize is called 'bright dip'. It took me months to find someone that would dup the door handle finish. Only ano-brite in california could do it. I tried a few others but didnt have the quality. THey also have to be mirror polished first.I also made 2 console rails that were only on my car as they were a major PIA. Any questions, let me know. I sold the last of the armrest caps on e bay.
Just an FYI for all and to set the history straight. :alchi:
I did the knob, vent and door locks.
The first forum Tee shirts.
Sponsored the bitch session to GM on the crap aluminum diff (to no avail)
Developed the fiberglass cowl hood with Jimmy Cox at fiberglass trends (and he charged me full price too).
Pinion diff reinforcement ring
UUC shifter and the urethane bushings. A la Rob at UUC. (I see they are still as slow as molasses).
Dual ashtray gage pod retro
Might be some other stuff I dont remember....
Right now Im waiting on the CTSV coupe.....:shhh:
:bows::bows:Hi lasstss !!!
Thanks for your post. You sound like a busy man !!!! I appreciate your input on the finishing, that should really help the Guys. On a personal note any drawings or information that you think might be important would be greatly welcomed, I can read just about any drawing format on my work computer. email@example.com
Like I've told the guys in my posts I do these parts as a sideline. I manage the CNC dept of a small machine shophttp://richardsdesign.net It's more for the love of the car then to make money.:cookoo::cookoo:. I hope to hear more from you in the future.

Bangalore: Election Commission has put in place an aggressive campaign seeking to boost the voter turnout in Karnataka by 10 per cent in the May 5 Assembly polls compared top 2008 elections.
Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer Anil Kumar Jha said students, NGOs and civil society groups have been involved to spread the message of the importance of taking part in the poll process. "We will intensify (our efforts)".
In addition to campaign by "youth icons" and in media, students are being asked to persuade their parents to cast ballot. The idea is to take the poll percentage to "healthy levels".
In the 2008 assembly elections, the average poll percentage in the State was around 65. Officials said the figure for Bangalore, which account for 28 of the total 224 Assembly segments in the State, is a low 47.3 per cent.
"The target is to take it to 75 per cent (from 65 per cent last time around)", Jha said, adding, Gujarat has achieved a 10 per cent increase in poll percentage in the last elections compared to the previous one.
Authorities, meanwhile, made a number of cash seizures at several places in the state, including three in Ramanagara district (more than Rs 22 lakh) and in Bidar (Rs 9.3 lakh).

The only 'clips' I am aware of are metal, M1 GARAND. If you mean magazines, both are used and if given the choice I ALWATS go with metal. Most times you don't have a choice. Welcome!

I was in the process of ordering my alien gear holster and when selecting which clips I wanted it said the plastic clips were recommended. This goes against my natural tendancy to trust plastic over metal. Does anyone know why alien gear would recommend plastic clips over metal? I know they say that if anything breaks they will replace it but to recommend plastic over metal I'm just a little confused. Anyone have the plastic clips or know why they would recommend them?
The only 'clips' I am aware of are metal, M1 GARAND. If you mean magazines, both are used and if given the choice I ALWATS go with metal. Most times you don't have a choice. Welcome!
I don't have any experience with Alien Gear holsters but the Kydex clips on my Comp-Tac holsters are my favorite. I had metal clips on a Crossbreed which put some holes in my cover shirts. The kydex clips have held up for years of use without breaking and work well in my opinion. Some people have reported them breaking however. I don't know but I have seen multiple cases of it happening. Unlikely to happen with the metal ones. Advantages and disadvantages to both.
1 Old, kind of jumped the gun there my friend. Welcome to the forum samurai, I have an Alien Gear holster with metal clips and they have functioned well for me with zero problems for over a year now. They are just like most of the metal clips on most of the hybrid holsters on the market and when I purchased the holster they were the only clips offered, guess I should go and look at these new plastic clips on their webpage. Alien Gear has served me well, super comfortable once the leather breaks any and I highly recommend them to all.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them.....well, I have others.
Oh and my Mosin and Sks also like metal clips for their magazines......yeah it gets confusing, more so when I remove the sks metal fixed magazine and replace it with a detachable polymer magazine that I can also load with the metal clips. I think I gave myself a headache there.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them.....well, I have others.
While metal clips are extremely secure, the can and do mar the belt and can damage clothing. Most metal clips are generically sized, too big or too small, unless the holster maker has them custom made.
Kydex clips can be made to specific sizes easily and work very well in most situations. Kydex is kind to belts and clothes but prone to stress fracture and will eventually break at the the flex point.
Injection molded plastic clips are more difficult to make in custom sizes, but are typically made in better sizes than the metal clips since it is only the huge increase in holster production that has fueled the rise of these clip's popularity. They can be stronger/longer lived than Kydex, nearly as secure as metal and much easier on the belt and clothing than the metal offerings.
Without having a sample of the clips in question, I can't offer any opinion on which would be the better choice.
The best things in life are not free.
They are paid for with the blood of brave men and women!

They also offer leather loops separately. I have them for both of my Alien Gear Holsters and really like them. I'll have to order plastic clips on the next one just to see how they work.

I vote metal. I have holsters with both I just trust the metal ones a bit more and they feel like better quality.

Do the plastic "j" clips then hang the weight of the gun/holster off your pants, and not the Belt?
well they clip on the outside of your belt. I got mine with the plastic and they work just fine. They will cause less wear and tear on your belt and pants.
I have the metal clips but upon seeing I can get the plastic ones I am going to order them immediately. Funny timing about this. I was putting on my Alien Gear holster this morning and had a tough time getting the clips "right" so I put on a OWB holster instead. I really like their holster (MY holster now :) but the stiff metal clips can be a bugger to work with. Just my .02 with my slightly arthritic fingers.
Typos are for the entertainment of the reader. Don't let it go to your head
SHTF gear sells leather snap loops with a kydex backing for hybrid holsters.
DC member chiefjason also sells them on ebay with a leather backing instead of kydex. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321393056252...84.m1555.l2649
I carry because zombies.
The only problem I have ever had with plastic clips, and they were J clips, was they barely squeeze onto the bottom of my Wilderness belt.

San Jose, Calif. • The rain has stayed away, but San Jose State quarterback David Fales has showed up in a big way against BYU and its vaunted defense Saturday.
San Jose State leads BYU 20-7 at halftime on a chilly, overcast night at Spartan Stadium.
Fales has completed 18 of 23 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns.
The Spartans scored touchdowns on their first three possessions, driving 65 yards on their first series, 75 on their second and 71 on their third.
BYU's Daniel Sorensen intercepted a pass to stop SJSU's fourth drive, but the Cougars were stopped at midfield on fourth-and-1, and SJSU recaptured the momentum.
BYU's only score came on its first possession. The Cougars drove 79 yards and capped the drive with Jamaal Williams' 16-yard touchdown run.

what will happen if the engine is ran with a number 4 misfire
This is a discussion on running while not fixed? within the General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents. forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; what will happen if the engine is ran with a number 4 misfire...
what will happen if the engine is ran with a number 4 misfire
If he's just got a bad coil or sparkplug, it probably won't hurt anything although if he's dumping unburned fuel out into his exhaust he could damage a catalytic converter or cause other problems.
It's always best to fix stuff ASAP though. Just as a general rule.
It could be a ton of basic issues if it is mechanical, many of which could be serious. Check all the basics as mentioned, MAF cleaner, fuel filter, spark etc. etc.
Or it could be that the sensor is too touchy in your car. I guessed you had an '02 before I looked. There is a flash available from the dealer for an issue with this. Do you have an aftermarket flywheel and or pulley setup?
"From a little spark may burst a mighty flame." - Dante
"The stitch is lost unless the thread is knotted." - Italian proverb
i have no idea if the previous owner did anything to the tranny or not
Shortly after purchasing my 03 WRX, I started having number 2 misfires. When the check engine light came on, I'd schedule an appointment with the mechanic, but still drive the car to work and around town until then.
After the second CEL (same problem, number 2 misfire), the car began overheating badly. When I got it towed to the mechanic, they did some investigating and found out that piston number 2 was cracked.
So yeah, it could be relatively minor or it could be something major. I'd get it checked out if I were you.
i will this weekend and roughly how much do you think it will cost to get it fixed
ok well what is the cost for a valve train fix

Timbisha Shoshone Tribe
A shocking example of the unfairness of federal law to Indian tribes is the recent treatment of the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe, a small tribe in Death Valley, California. Some years ago, the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe and other Western Shoshone tribes were awarded compensation by the Indian Claims Commission, and the money was placed in the U.S. Treasury in trust for the tribes. Then, in 2004, Congress passed an act taking all of the money away from the tribes and ordering the money to be distributed to individual Indians – not necessarily members of the tribes. Congress made up its own rules about who would get the money. The tribes were left with nothing out of the money they had been awarded. More than $140 million was simply taken from them without compensation and without due process of law.
With our help, the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe fought back by suing to stop the taking of the fund on the ground that taking the Tribe's money without compensation or due process is a violation of the U.S. Constitution. We filed suit in 2010. Certainly, if this case involved the taking of money from anyone other than an Indian tribe, the taking would be barred by the Constitution. The federal government argued that because the money belonged to a tribe, Congress could take all the money and give it to others. Indeed, the federal government argues that it can take or dispose of all money and property belonging to any tribe, without any restriction at all and with no obligation to compensate the tribe. Obviously, this is unjust and discriminatory.
The federal government also argued that the Timbisha Shoshone Tribal Council could not sue the federal government unless the federal government itself recognized the Tribal Council. The Department of the Interior withdrew its recognition of the Tribal Council. Later, when the case was on appeal, the Department installed a new tribal government in complete violation of federal law and the Timbisha Shoshone Constitution as well. Then Interior Department lawyers argued that the lawsuit could not go on because the Timbisha Tribal Council had been replaced by the Interior Department. The government lawyers argued in court that the Department of the Interior had the absolute authority to simply do away with any tribal government in order to prevent it from suing. Although this is not the law, the Court of Appeals accepted the argument and dismissed the case in 2012. Again, the absolute and legally uncontrolled power of the federal government was used to prevent a small Indian tribe from protecting itself and its resources. This could not happen to others – only to Indian tribes.
The Timbisha Tribe has not stopped its fight, but is carrying on another federal suit challenging the Interior Department's illegal actions in installing a new and unlawful Timbisha government. We are helping with that suit and helping the Tribe take other steps to challenge the power of the federal government, including seeking fresh administrative review, gathering federal documents about this problem, and finding ways to stop non-members of the Tribe from voting and controlling the Tribe.
This small tribe of mostly traditional Timbisha people has been deprived of almost everything by the federal government and yet fights on against the federal government's unconstitutional "plenary power" and its illegal actions. We will continue to fight alongside them as long as necessary.

Marion Cotillard Charms at "Rust and Bone" AFI Fest Screening
Stepping out to show off her latest work, Marion Cotillard made a stunning arrival at the official screening of "Rust and Bone" in Hollywood, CA on Monday (November 5).
The 37-year-old French-born actress looked gorgeous as she posed for photographs and made her way down the media line at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, before heading in for the main event.
In the upcoming Jacques Audiard-directed drama, Marion plays a whale trainer who loses both of her legs during a tragic accident.
Talking with Harpers Bazaar about preparing for the role, Cotillard said, "Well, I mean, I love my job, but I'm not going to cut my legs off. Stéphanie loses her legs. It's a shock. If she'd been without them for years, I would have worked differently. But I had to learn with her how it felt - that loss. How it changes her."
Set to hit the St. Louis International Film Festival later this month, "Rust and Bone" is officially described as follows: "Put in charge of his young son, Ali leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. Ali's bond with Stephanie, a killer whale trainer, grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident."

|Click here for related articles on Fanlore.
Della Van Hise was a prolific Kirk/Spock fanwriter who later published an official (and infamous) Star Trek tie-in novel, Killing Time.
As Alexis Fegan Black, Della Van Hise wrote over fifteen novels, a multitude of novellas, short stories and vignettes. [1] [2] [3]
Some of her fiction is posted at AO3.
Fan Reaction
A fan in 1989 wrote: "Alexis Fegan Black - No other author appears as often on my mental list of "most memorable and favorite K/S stories". She combines an excellent writing talent with the loving warmth that I admire most about K/S. I do get a little tired of all the metaphysical stories at times, and that makes me all the more appreciative when she strays to the more raw, erotic stories, such as "War Games" (OFF DUTY 1), and to a very fun read such as Things That Go Bump in the Night (NAKED TIMES 21). I believe my most favorite of hers are the DREAMS OF THE SLEEPERS series, Past, Present, and Always" (NT 7), and "A Time to be Born" (K/S COLLECTED). Where would K/S be without Alexis Fegan Black?" [1]
Some Troubles in the Early 1980s
There is a long, long letter in Datazine #29 (as well as in Universal Translator #22) in the personal statement section by Della in which she responds to multiple complaints in "Datazine" and numerous letterzines regarding to zines fans have paid for but have not received. She cites poor health, problems with the originals for at least one zine (Naked Times #4/5) being lost at the printer, and says she just plain "F----- Up. I can't make it any clearer than that... I hope this can be resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible for all involved. As I stated before, I DO intend to fulfill all commitments for back orders and current orders. We all make mistakes; unfortunately, mine have been more apparent than many... There really isn't much I can do other than apologize and reassure you that 'time will tell.' At this point, threatening letters aren't doing any of us any good. I honestly couldn't do anything more right now if I was under full-scale attack by Klingons, Romulans, Gorns, and Tholians. But as soon as the attack is over, I hope to prove to you that I'm not some dishonest evil alien."
In Datazine #32, Della had an update. She explained in detail which zines have been sent out, and which ones are still in the works. She mentioned she is having to re-do Naked Times #4/5 part two as her "born-again printer" had completely destroyed the original and the dummy copies after she had paid her bill in full. "It seems he overlooked that commandment about coveting and/or destroying his neighbor's property." She closed with a thank you to fans. "... thanks again to those who have written kind letters of support and encouragement over the last few troubled years. I look forward to being able to re-establish the trust and harmony we all shared in the past."
Many reviews of her zines in On the Double (~ 1987) go out of their way to praise how speedy the zines arrived.
About Her Pseuds
"For those who have read ALL THAT WE SEE OR SEEM (originally published in STARRY SEAS, EARTHLY PLANES, and who might think the plot of DREAMS OF THE SLEEPERS similar, the editor would like to point out that Christopher Randolph and Alexis Fegan Black are 'one' -- quite literally." [2]
"One of the main reasons [I uses several pseuds] is that I'm hopeful of publishing more professional books, and it seems that K/S is indeed frowned upon by some of the major publishing houses. Other reasons are that I enjoy reading honest letters of comment, and many letter-writers are more likely to give honest critique of a story if they don't know their letter is going straight into the hands of the editor/writer. I'd rather have honest negative criticism than insincere ego-boo so I'll occasionally toss in a story under a different pseudonym for that reason." [3]
"Pagan Blue (yes, I have changed my fandom name one more time, and for personal reasons. Until I can think of a better one Pagan Blue is it, guys.) [4]

Ward 7's Marlon Picken calls school closures 'manufactured crisis'

By Richard Leitner, News Staff

Marlon Picken acknowledges he faces an uphill battle this fall to unseat Lillian Orban as Ward 7's public school trustee – assuming she runs again.

The Hill Park Secondary School grad, who is an environmental aide at Juravinski Hospital, placed nearly 2,200 votes behind the 23-year veteran during his first run for the position four years ago, capturing just shy of 40 per cent of ballots cast.

He says that's pretty much been the story for anyone who's run against Orban, who told the Mountain News last week she is still considering whether to seek another term but expects to make a decision "sooner than later."

Picken, 31, says he hopes to build on his previous outing by starting his campaign now, rather than waiting until the final four weeks like he did last time.

But he says he will also take a more oppositionist stand than his opponent on school closures – including Hill Park's at the end of June – which he blames on a flawed provincial funding formula.

He attributes his different mindset to his activism on behalf of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, where he is a provincial vice-president and workplace steward, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer community.

"Not to sound radical, but I think there's a vacuum at that board in terms of a voice that brings a culture of resistance," says Picken, who chairs the city's LGBTQ advisory committee.

 "Until Hill Park is demolished, in my mind it's not the end of the story," he said, vowing that his other differentiating approach will be to work with other trustees to build a consensus that closure is fundamentally the wrong decision, rather than get emotional.

"Crying isn't going to solve this one."

Picken says he brings the same skepticism to elementary closures, which he criticizes for taking a short-sighted view of enrolment that ignores that "populations ebb and flow."

He says warehousing students in "super schools" has failed elsewhere and he prefers having smaller schools dotted throughout the community, including because it reduces busing.

"I don't think that problems just come out of nowhere," he says. "People make those problems, and so this crisis we have right now, it seems wholly manufactured, if you ask me, and actually quite deceitful."

In other Mountain public school races in the Oct. 27 vote, long-time incumbent Wes Hicks was the lone candidate to have registered in Ward 8 as of Feb. 13.

In Ward 6, where incumbent Laura Peddle has said she won't run again, one candidate,Stoney Creek resident Allan Miles, has registered.

At the Catholic board, the lone Mountain candidate to have registered as of Feb. 13 was Mount Hope resident Joseph Baiardo in Ward 6. He previously ran for Ward 11 councillor in the 2006 election, placing second to then-incumbent Dave Mitchell in a three-way race.

He seems to have a soft spot for war movies and now Brad Pitt is reportedly looking at another WWII flick.
The romantic thriller written by Steven Knight has yet to nab a director or even a title, but Deadline reports that talks are serious for the "Fight Club" star to hop on board.
Soon, fans can see the 50-year-old actor in the WWII drama "Fury" in which he commands a Sherman tank crew on a deadly mission.
Previously, Brad starred in the war films "Inglourious Basterds" and "World War Z" (although that was a very different kind of war).

It's built by freezing ice around steel supports suspended by cranes, and then they add the doors, appliances, and furniture in afterwards. The St. Ives Bay SK2 - Cornwall, England The St. Ives Bay SK2 once roamed all around the railways of England as a 1957 corridor coach, but has settled down for a lucrative second life as a hotel resort. The former train car can be rented as two rooms, or as one big unit. The Helicopter Cottage - Winvian Cottages - Litchfield, CT The Winvian Cottages have a lot of unique properties on their expansive premises, but the most interesting by far is the Helicopter Cottage, which features a restored 1968 Sikorsky Sea King Pelican HH3F helicopter. The bed shares the hangar space with the helicopter, so you don't have to get too cozy. Cappadocia Cave Resort - Uchisar, Cappadocia, Turkey Built into the side of a mountain, The Cappadocia Cave Resort doesn't just sport amazing panoramic views of the cavern-pocked Turkish countryside; it's a full service spa as well. Coco Palm Bodu Hithi - North Male Atoll, Maldives Coco Palm Bodu Hithi is pretty much what everyone imagines when they think of an island paradise. The resorts are built on stilts above the crystal clear waters, and each one has it's own private hot tub, 24 hour butler service, 5 star amenities, on-site SCUBA lessons, and pretty much everything else you'd need to forget about your real life back home. Benesse House - Kagawa, Japan Designed by famous Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, the Benesse House is like a modern art museum with hotel rooms in it... or more accurately, a modern art museum where the hotel rooms are the exhibits unto themselves. Abali Gran Sultanato - Sicily, Italy The Abali Gran Sultanato may look a little like a clown car exploded inside a paint store, which then exploded inside a hotel, but with private Jacuzzis in each room, you can rest assured that you'll be comfortable throughout your stay. Jumbo Stay - Arlanda, Sweden A converted c1976 jumbo jet now houses one of the most unique hotel experiences out there. There are rooms that can accommodate up to three people, but the most luxurious room in the retired airliner is the former captain's cockpit.

Barnes & Noble, Walmart and Best Buy have underlined the shift by the retail industry to online and mobile sales by unveiling three separate moves aimed at consumers who increasingly shop by switching back and forth between the Internet and bricks-and-mortar stores.
Barnes & Noble, the U.S.'s biggest bookseller, on Monday unveiled a tablet computer to compete with devices from Apple and Amazon, while Walmart has opened two small test stores in Californian malls that are designed specifically to draw customers to its website.
Best Buy, the biggest U.S. electronics retailer, said it would close its loss-making "big box" stores in the U.K., buy out its British partner in Best Buy Mobile for $1.3-billion and refocus globally on selling Internet-enabled devices ranging from phones to televisions.
The moves come as traditional retailers struggle to keep up with the digitization of media content, the power of smart phones, and consumers who browse for products online and then buy in stores, or browse in stores and then buy online.
Barnes & Noble's business model of running cozy book stores with comfortable chairs and coffee has been undermined by Amazon, the online retailer.
Its tablet computer launch on Monday – under the brand of its Nook e-reader – was its latest effort to secure a stake in the distribution channel through which a growing number of consumers are consuming books, music and video.
The $249 Nook tablet will be available from next week and will compete with Apple's iPad and Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire tablet, which also begins shipping next week. William Lynch, Barnes & Noble chief executive, stressed that its store network and employees would enable it to provide better customer support than Amazon.
He also said the Kindle Fire's memory capacity meant it was "deficient."
Analysts said Best Buy had suffered from shoppers using its stores as a "showroom" for Amazon, the online retailer.
Brian Dunn, Best Buy chief executive, told the Financial Times: "Multi-channel retail is the right solution. Digital by itself won't be enough. Physical by itself won't be enough."
Walmart's use of two new test stores to promote the Walmart.com brand reverses the practice of using online advertising to attract customers to retail stores. However, the stores are scheduled to stay open only until the end of this year.Report Typo/Error
