Glad you could stop by Car Dolly Rental HQ…We're here to help you find the best way to transport your car whether you're moving, bought a newer vehicle or had a break down (we really hope you didn't have a break down).
Where Can I Find a Car Dolly Rental?
While you can buy a car dolly, it is likely that it will not be something you'll be using often so you may want to consider renting a unit instead of buying. No point in spending more than you need to right?
The major companies who offer moving truck rentals normally have car dolly rentals available too so you can tow your car behind the truck you are renting.
It's a good way to safely move your vehicle since you don't want to do a bad towing job which could lead to having to get your car fixed and a big repair bill.
Here we'll cover the three major companies in the United States that offer car dolly rental options. You should be able to find one near you! We also have information on car dolly safety measures, typical car dolly rental rates and popular RV tow dolly models.
U-haul gives you the option of renting a car dolly to help in towing your car either with one of their trucks, or by itself if you already have something to tow it with. With the rental of the dolly, you will get ratchet-operated tire straps and vehicle security chains to keep everything safely in place during your trip.
U-Haul Tow Dolly Rental Towing Capacities
If you are driving a front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle, you will be able to tow a maximum weight of 3,400 lbs which could possibly include some mid size cars, but these are normally heavier than this. This means, that if your car is a FWD, you would probably only be able to tow a smaller car.
If your car is a rear-wheel drive (RWD), you will be able to tow up to 3,900 lbs; however, most cars are FWD except for sports cars which are normally RWD. Also, if you decide to tow a RWD car with a car dolly from U Haul, you will need to remove the driveshaft from the car to prevent damage to the car's drive-line.
Finally, if you decide to rent only the car dolly without one of their trucks, you will need a hitch that can carry at least 3,500 lbs, and the vehicle you are using to tow will need to weight 750lbs more than the car being towed.
Penske is another of the car dolly rental options for towing your vehicle. Their large yellow trucks might be a familiar sight if you spend a lot of time on the highway.
Penske Tow Dolly Rental Towing Capacities
Unlike U-Haul, Penske suggests that you only use the car dolly for FWD vehicles and use a car carrier for RWD and all-wheel drive (AWD) cars.
The Penske car dolly is able to tow a total of 4,300 lbs which means that it could tow bigger vehicles such as the Nissan Maxima which is considered a full-size vehicle.
When you rent a car dolly from Penske, they will take care of connecting it to your truck for you however you will need to place your car on the dolly. They will provide you with the instructions in order to do this as well as the instructions needed if you have to disconnect and reconnect your dolly from the truck at any point in your travels.
Now for our last car dolly rental option…Another major company that offers car dollies is Budget. In distinction to the other two companies, Budget offers two different types of car dollies.
Budget Tow Dolly Rental Towing Capacities
The first one is the Standard Tow Dolly which is able to tow a FWD vehicle that weighs up to 3,300 lbs, and RWD or AWD vehicle with a weight of up to 3,600 lbs.
The second dolly available from Budget is the Super Tow Dolly which can carry a maximum weight not exceeding 3,960 lbs for FWD vehicles and 4,250 lbs for AWD and RWD. As with U-haul, they recommend the car dolly especially for FWD as but a car trailer for RWD or AWD vehicles since they are more complicated to tow via dolly due to the need for driveshaft removal.
Other Possible Car Dolly Rental Options
Those are the three main companies with car dolly rental options. Although you may be able to find other local companies in your city such as independent trailer sales/rental locations, U-haul, Penske and Budget are the most well known for their car dolly rentals.
If you decide that you will be using a dolly type trailer often enough that it would be better to buy one you should be able to find a new or used model without much trouble. A few of the more popular car dolly makers are:
- Stehl
- MasterTow
- Demco
There are others out there and if you like to make things or have access to a fabrication shop a it shouldn't be hard to make a custom dolly given that parts area available and dollies are fairly simple. You should be able to find custom car dolly construction plans fairly easily as well.
To get started shopping for a dolly eBay and Craigslist are probably the top places to look first. Go with Stehl of MasterTow if you budget is on the lower side but if you have a nice RV setup and want a more fully featured product then looking at the offerings from Demco might be worth it.
Whether you decide to buy a dolly or use a car dolly rental we hope your trip(s) are safe, fun and memorable!

Barbara Cassani said the facilities which would be built to host the games would benefit the whole population.
"Our next generation of athletes will be better equipped to develop into future Olympians," she added.
London is up against eight other cities in the race to stage the games. The winner won't be announced until 2005.
Ms Cassani was speaking at the official launch of the bid in London's Covent Garden.
She revealed that a 500-acre sports village would be built in east London and that some of the capital's landmarks would be turned into sporting arenas.
Horse Guards Parade would be the venue for beach volleyball.
Softball and baseball would be staged in Regent's Park.
"We can promise a spectacular event that will be enjoyed around the world, " she said.
"More people will get off the couch and get involved in sport. The nation will be fitter and more active."

THE West Australian Labor Party has revealed the next stop on its ambitious rail plan for Perth, promising a rail line to the growing suburb of Ellenbrook at a cost of $863.5 million.
The cornerstone of the Labor election campaign, the Metronet rail project is designed to link Perth's growing suburban fringe while freeing up congestion in the city.
Wednesday's Ellenbrook rail promise from Labor leader Mark McGowan was an opportunity for another shot at Premier Colin Barnett, who has been criticised for failing to uphold a promise made at the 2008 state election that the Liberals would build a rail line to the suburb north-east of Perth.
Mr McGowan said the 21km line would cost $863.5 million - excluding rail cars - and construction was expected to start during 2014/15.
"Premier Colin Barnett broke his 2008 election promise to build the Ellenbrook line," Mr McGowan said.
"Mr Barnett broke the hearts of the people of Ellenbrook and the north-east corridor of Perth. He also showed once again that the Liberal Party cannot be trusted on rail."
The Ellenbrook line would include new stations at Morley, Noranda, Bennett Springs, Whiteman and Ellenbrook.
Labor is claiming the Metronet scheme would cost $3.8 billion, while the Liberals estimate the price tag would be closer to $6.4 billion.

Grand Forks - The Cities of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks have scheduled citywide spraying for mosquitoes Thursday, June 20, 2013, between 8:30 p.m. and midnight. Today's mosquito trap count is 39.
The adulticiding equipment is noisy and travels at 10 mph. The electric sprayers are relatively quiet. The mosquito control trucks are identified and travel with a flashing yellow light. Residents may want to go inside just before their area is sprayed and stay inside for 20-30 minutes until the aerosol cloud dissipates. Residents should not run, walk or bike directly through the aerosol cloud behind the insecticide sprayer. Also, anyone who is sensitive to chemicals may want to close their windows during the ground spraying.

So you may have noticed that Osprey has ventured into the wonderful world of bicycling. Who is behind the scene, working so hard to have Osprey as well known in the cycling world as it is in the outdoor industry?
Meet Jeff Fox, Bike Marketing Manager. What does he do? In a nutshell, he manages and coordinates the marketing efforts for the cycling related product at Osprey packs. This includes consumer events, trade shows, printed materials, website, print and online advertising, etc.. The marketing department at Osprey is pretty tight, so he also helps out with the outdoor and travel marketing when needed and receives a lot of help from the rest of the marketing department.
I asked him some questions, so we could all get to know him better:
Do you have a Nickname:
Most people call me Fox since everywhere I have worked there has been more than one Jeff.
What was your Former Job:
I was the Sales and Marketing Manager at Tuffy Security Products for 15 years. Tuffy Security Products manufactures lockable storage boxes for automobiles.
Favorite Ride?
Every time that I ride a new trail it seems like it is my favorite ride. I don't know that I can pick a definitive favorite. Top 5 probably includes:
· Phil's World in Cortez
· The Colorado Trail between Molas Pass and Durango,
· 1st Divide-2nd Divide-3rd Divide in Downieville, CA
· Mid-Mountain Trail in Park City
· Deer Creek Trail in Crested Butte
What Do You Ride?
Trek Superfly Singlespeed. I have broken 6 frames in the last 10 years. 4 aluminum, 1 titanium, and 1 carbon. Hopefully, the Superfly will last a little longer.
Tell me more about your Vail Pass Motorcycle story:
Funny that you would remember that story. Basically, I went to classes the first day of my senior year at Colorado State University and decided that I needed a break. The next day I dropped all of my classes, packed up my few belongings for shipment via UPS, loaded clothes into a backpack and hopped on my motorcycle heading for Las Vegas. A freak early snowstorm rolled through and I hit a blizzard on Vail Pass. It was so cold and icy that I had to stop and stuff my light jacket full of newspaper. Somehow I made it over the pass alive and called my parents from Grand Junction. They were less than enthusiastic to learn of my plan (or lack of one). The headlight on my motorcycle then went out and I had to follow other traffic so that I could see. At one point the truck I was passing hit a deer which flipped out right in front of me. I rode through a mess of blood and guts but didn't hit anything solid enough to stop me. After riding through the night, I was pushing it hard once the sun came up and got pulled over for going 100+ mph. Luckily the officer wrote the ticket for 85 in a 65 which probably saved me some jail time. All in all it was a pretty epic trip.
Favorite Osprey Pack?:
Biking: Viper 10
Outdoor: Kestral 58
Travel: Sojourn 28
Favorite Osprey bag?:
Transporter 46
Favorite Osprey bike event?:
Outerbike in Moab. This event is a blast! Tons of cool people come to Moab to demo bikes, packs and accessories. The event is run really well and it is laid back so that we can really enjoy it.
Favorite food?:
Burritos. Kind of weird but I love burritos and try to get one in every city that I travel to.
Biggest epic on a bicycle?:
There have been quite a few. The guys that I ride with seem to have a knack for turning any ride into an unforgettable epic. One that comes to the forefront has to be an exploratory ride on the Chicken Creek trail near Mancos, CO. We got really lost and ended up riding way past our turn off. It was so dark we couldn't find the singletrack so we were crawling on the ground using the lights on our watches to locate the tracks we had just made. After backtracking for hours we finally made it back to our car around 2:00 a.m.. I try to be more prepared now with maps and a headlamp.
So there you have it, an interview with Jeff Fox, by Osprey Ambassador AlisonGannett. Don't forget to save the world today, and vote with your dollars! Learn more at http://www.alisongannett.com

Colorado wildfire smoke blows into Cheyenne, Wyo.
LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) – Smoke from a massive northern Colorado wildfire that has forced hundreds of people from their homes was blowing into southeast Wyoming and smudging the skies above Cheyenne on Wednesday.
Overnight winds from the southwest blew smoke into Wyoming, leaving a pungent odor around the state's capital city, about 50 miles north of the fire. The smoke on Tuesday drifted south to Denver, but skies there were clear a day later.
The fire 15 miles west of Fort Collins has burned 73 square miles, destroyed more than 100 structures and forced hundreds of residents to leave their homes.
The evacuees face extended displacement and uncertainty, though some may find out Wednesday whether their houses are still standing.
Evacuee Jan Gueswel still swears she'd never live anywhere else.
"I would rather live in Poudre Park than in an apartment where I don't know what my neighbor is doing," said Gueswel, who fled her home with her husband, Carl, as northern Colorado's High Park Fire exploded.
She and others say they'd long ago accepted the year-round risks of fire in mountain country.
Many residents in the mountains of southern New Mexico faced heartbreak: A 56-square-mile fire threatening the village of Ruidoso damaged or destroyed at least 224 homes and other structures. Workers found heaps of burned metal and debris on home sites hit hardest by the Little Bear fire.
"It's truly heartbreaking to see the damage done to this beautiful part of the country," New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said.
The fires have underscored the need to replenish the nation's aerial firefighting fleet. This week, the U.S. Forest Service announced it was increasing the national fleet to 17. And on Wednesday, President Barack Obama signed a bill to speed up the contracting of the next generation of air tankers.
A 62-year-old woman died in her cabin in Colorado's High Park Fire, which was caused by lightning and has destroyed more than 100 structures. More than 600 firefighters labored to build containment lines as air tankers and helicopters focused on protecting buildings.
Gueswel expressed her gratitude.
"I don't want anybody to die for my house," she said. "I love my house, but I don't want to die for it, and I don't want anyone else to die for it."
In Wyoming, where crews made gains on two wildfires, state forester Bill Crapser said firefighters throughout the West are coping with drought, stands of trees killed by bark beetles, more residents in forested areas and a decades-old buildup of fuel — the legacy of quickly stamping out fires, rather than letting them burn as nature intended.
Forest residents need to do their part by clearing their property of fuel, he said.
"That's a tough thing to sell to a lot of people, because they move out there so they can have pine trees leaning over the top of their house," Crapser said. "That's part of the allure of it. But it's also part of the danger of it."
Across the West:
— California: A wildfire that briefly threatened homes in Kern County is contained.
— Colorado: About 1,000 firefighters and 100 engines were at the High Park Fire on Wednesday. It has cost $3 million to fight.
— New Mexico: Nearly 1,000 firefighters and more than 200 National Guardsmen are on the 56-square-mile Little Bear fire. Containment is 35 percent. More than 500 firefighters bolstered lines around the Gila fire, the country's largest at 438 square miles.
— Utah: Two wildfires blackened 4,000 acres in Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. Meanwhile, a preliminary report found an air tanker that wrecked June 3 while fighting a wildfire in southern Utah veered off its flight path while following a lead plane moments before crashing into mountainous terrain. Both pilots in the tanker died; they were from Boise, Idaho. The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday it's still investigating the cause of the crash.
— Wyoming: Investigators determined a 2,800-acre fire burning in Guernsey State Park was human-caused. It is 95 percent contained, while a 13-square-mile fire in Medicine Bow National Forest is fully contained. The risk of new fires is high in much of the state because of dry air and expected strong winds.
— Arizona: A 2,600-acre wildfire in the Tonto National Forest northwest of Phoenix is 40 percent contained. It's not threatening any buildings. Crews fully contained a wildfire that had forced the evacuation of the historic mining town of Crown King.

India were 38 for two when bad light halted play, with Virender Sehwag out for eight and Dravid for five. Sehwag once against showed his vulnerability towards outgoing deliveries, edging Makhaya Ntini to Graeme Smith at first slip.
But Dravid was bit unlucky to lose his wicket off a delivery that brushed his pad. Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf had no doubt to rule Dravid out off that Ntini delivery which landed in the safe hands of wicketkeeper Mark Boucher.
Needing a win to square the three-match series, South Africa batted aggressively despite losing six wickets for 44 runs at one stage before lunch.
Shaun Pollock made a stroke-filled 63 not out to enable South Africa to declare their second innings at 265 for eight.
There were nominally a maximum of 146 overs for India's second innings but bad light stopped play early on each of the first three days. Clouds were building up and the floodlights were switched on soon after the innings started.
Both Sehwag and Wasim Jaffer edged balls which fell short of the slip cordon and Sehwag edged one for four at catchable height through a vacant fourth slip, only to be caught off the next ball when he played forward defensively.
Indian captain Rahul Dravid edged Andre Nel just short of Andrew Hall at third slip before he had scored. He was on one at tea, with Jaffer on six.
Pollock shared quick-scoring half-century stands with Hall and Morne Morkel as South Africa recovered from a top order collapse.
Shanthakumuran Sreesanth, India's exciting young fast bowler, took three of the wickets as South Africa collapsed from 99 for no wicket to 143 for six. Sreesanth finished with four for 79, taking his tally for the series to 16.
VRV Singh made the first breakthrough, dismissing AB de Villiers for 47, but Sreesanth then took three wickets in eight balls to plunge the home team into trouble.
One of Sreesanth's victims was South African captain Graeme Smith, who emerged from a batting slump to make 58. Smith made his runs off 81 balls and hit 11 fours before trying to whip a straight ball through the leg side and having his off stump knocked back.
But Pollock regained the initiative for South Africa in a 99-ball innings which included 10 fours. Hall (21) helped him put on 70 in 68 minutes for the seventh wicket before Morkel (27) shared in a 52-run stand in 50 minutes for the eighth wicket.

Mitt Romney travels to Israel Sunday in hopes of proving to voters back home that, as president, he would strengthen ties with America's strongest ally in the Middle East.
Romney clearly sees an opening against Obama on Israel: Obama's support among traditionally Democratic Jewish supporters has weakened since 2008 and his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is widely seen as strained, while Romney and Netanyahu have a relationship that predates their politics.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu and Gov. Romney have a long-standing friendship that goes back 40 years," said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams, noting that both men worked for Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s.
Vying for Jewish-American voters and Americans living in Israel, Romney has accused Obama of "lecturing" and "undermining" Israeli leaders and says the president has effectively distanced the U.S. from its closest ally in the Middle East.
The Republican presidential contender argues that Obama hasn't been tough enough against Iran and chastised Obama for suggesting that Israel withdraw to its pre-1964 borders to encourage the Palestinians to restart negotiations over a Middle East peace pact.
Netanyahu at the time called Obama's position on Palestine "indefensible" -- a criticism that Romney repeated to an Israeli newspaper prior to his trip.
"Acting as a negotiator and usurping the primary role played by Israel in negotiating for its own future is not the right course for America to take," Romney told Israel Hayom, one of Israel's largest newspapers, which is owned by Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, a top contributor to Republicans, including Romney.
Romney has tough talk for Obama back home, but while in Israel on Sunday he plans to tone down his criticism so as not to be caught bashing the U.S. on foreign soil, aides said.
Romney's full day of events starts with a briefing from U.S. ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro and meetings with Netanyahu, Israeli President Shimon Peres and others. He's planning a $60,000-a-plate fundraiser and later will deliver a speech on U.S.-Israeli relations. Aides say the speech won't contain any policy prescriptions.
Romney will say "that challenges and threats to Israel are in many ways challenges and threats to the U.S., [but that] Israel has the added burden of living in a much more dangerous neighborhood," said one adviser traveling with Romney. He will make the case that the U.S. "needs to do that much more to lock arms with Israeli leaders and convey to the world that we will treat threats to Israel as threats to America."
Back at the White House, Obama has been shadowing Romney's travels with his own headline-grabbing policy announcements, meetings with foreign officials and news of diplomatic trips.
Just before Romney arrived in Israel, Obama announced that he was signing a security pact that provides Israel with $70 million in defense assistance and he dispatched Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to Israel to determine what other U.S. assistance it needs.
"I have made it a top priority for my administration to deepen cooperation with Israel across the whole spectrum of security issues -- intelligence, military, technology," Obama said. "What this legislation does is bring together all the outstanding cooperation that we have seen, really, at an unprecedented level between our two countries that underscores our unshakable commitment to Israel security."

Wayne McGregor and John Gerrard team up for Live Fire Exercise
Wayne McGregor, resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet, has had some unusual collaborations. Because of his holistic approach to dance, his collaborators have ranged from neuroscientists to the White Stripes and, in his 2006 Olivier-winning work Chroma, the minimalist architect John Pawson.
His latest collaboration is similarly unusual. In Live Fire Exercise, which opens on Friday, he partners John Gerrard, a visual artist who creates "virtual worlds" through computer animation. For this performance everything, including the curtains, has been stripped from the main stage of the Royal Opera House. In their place stands a single 7m x 9m screen on which Gerrard's animation will unfurl above the dancers. One wonders what Fonteyn would have thought.
Perhaps even more surprising than the staging is the subject…

The Sacramento CONFIDENCE Photography Workshop for women will always be a special weekend. Brian and I often feel limited to bigger cities with bigger airports so more of you can have access to attending the workshop, whether the flights are cheaper b/c of a bigger airport or there are more friends and family to stay with. But Sacramento had been tugging on my heart for a while. We decided to bring CONFIDENCE there, even if the workshop didn't fill. And as we went around the room on Day One, briefly introducing ourselves to each other, I was stunned at how divine this group was. So many women were in the midst of relocating their homes. So many women had no option to attend a CONFIDENCE Workshop in a bigger city due to unique family situations. If we had not come to Sacramento, we wouldn't have met these beautiful, gifted, passionate women. I was in tears after Day One because it was so clear that this weekend was meant to be. And with great honor, I share the beautiful work of the Sacramento attendees.
I absolutely love the black and white conversion that Maria Adams did on this quiet moment with mom and daughter. The super sharp focus on the babies eyes really accentuate the "catch lights".
This is a great capture of mom and baby girl. The mama's tatoo and the red/orange colors in the background all add to the story of who mom is, her energy, her sass, her spunk, and then we have a miracle baby in the middle of it all. Wonderful job Angela Cole!!
Sometimes at newborn sessions, we really have to find the best light in a home. April Durrett found some really even light for this little gal! The white comforter also helps the light bounce around a bit, too. Super April!
Ahhh, "tummy time" can really create opportunities for great images. Aviva Roller, what a crisp shot this is! I talk about "Tummy Time" in "Your Baby in Pictures"…try it…turn off your flash, select Aperture Priority mode and dial that f-stop as low as it will go. I also like to switch to Continuous Shooting mode so that I can take multiple frames per second to catch every bit of the action…including a drop of drool off the chin:)
Cyndi Zuniga also caught some "Tummy Time"! Look how this baby is adoringly looking at her big sister. So cute!
It's funny how really similar this next image by Jen Rich is to Genie's image…but still such a different outcome. They both wanted to shoot in close with a portion of mom in the image, really focusing on the baby. Awesome!
I am sure I have told you before that I really love when new moms wear a black camisole to the newborn sessions. It provides a great backdrop for the baby as well as really allows us to feel the emotion of an image without being distracted. This is such a peaceful moment that Kerrie Little captured. Really Nice!
Again, another really fun Black and White image by Laura Chesniak. It is so perfect that the baby is "brighter" than the rest of the image. It really draws us right to our focal point which is the pure bliss on her little face!
Oh My Goodness! This image should be a really large canvas or print in their home! It is amazing Lauran Laing!
The adoration mom has for her little girl exudes out of this image! Marcy Johns had them really close to the light source, as you can see the light in her eyes! Really fantastic Marcy!
This was not the easiest room to work with. You wouldn't be able to tell from this beautiful photo below, but the lighting in this room was super low. And yet, our small group had a blast trying to unpack this moment, the setting we had to work with, and the lighting we'd been given. As you can see from the photo below, the results are gorgeous. But GREAT job to Myriam Acfalle and the rest of the group that worked on this!
Paula, yet another image that this family should have on their wall. Even though this little baby is not looking at the camera, she has totally captured the 3-6 month stage of babies…on their tummies, totally investigating their fingers! I love it Paula Orologas! Oh, and the Black and White Conversion is perfection!
I will not lie… it is so hard to capture a sibling with a baby at this age, but Annie Piros really captured how much these two little siblings love each other already. So sweet! Great work!
I remember this moment so clearly. It was like we stumbled upon this mom and baby, and voila, you captured it perfectly Sarah Nguyen! Beautiful, beautiful job. The accent of that green wall makes such a huge difference. Remember how much we LOVED the green wall?! 🙂
Stephanie Elie, I love that even though we can only see the adorable baby's face, we know exactly what mom looks like also. The plain background really pushes us to feel the happiness and joy in this image!
Here are some Behind the Scenes photos of our Baby Day! Check out the variety of locations and lighting! Wow…really…hats off to these ladies for the wonderful images they produced.
Ladies, what a fabulous day! It is a complete honor to help grow your confidence with the camera but also your creative spirit!

The year is 1601, and English mercenary Solomon Kane (Purefoy) encounters a demon, who informs him that his bloodthirsty actions have damned his soul for eternity. Determined to save himself, Kane converts to Puritanism and renounces violence, until the kidnap of a young girl (Hurd-Wood) by an evil sorcerer sets him on the road to redemption.
In 1928, four years before he dreamed up Conan The Barbarian, Texan pulp writer Robert E. Howard gave birth to Solomon Kane, "a sombre and gloomy man of pale face and cold eyes, all of it shadowed by a slouch hat", who dressed like Van Helsing, fought like Conan, and battled evil as though his very soul depended on it — which, in fact, it did.
Now, some 80 years after Kane's first appearance in Weird Tales magazine, into his buckled boots steps James Purefoy, who attacks the role with the same gusto Howard's hero brings to vanquishing evil. Although his native Somerset accent lends some of the script's purpler prose unintentional comedy value, Purefoy cuts a terrifically intense dash as Kane, effectively managing the transition from amoral killer to tortured soul who, much like the subject of Kenny Rogers' Coward Of The County, finds that eschewing violence is all very well, but "sometimes you have to fight to be a man". Max Von Sydow and Pete Postlethwaite add necessary gravitas in supporting roles, although an equally weighty actor would have been welcome in the role of villain: no amount of demonic make-up or CG trickery can make Jason Flemyng remotely threatening.
British writer-director Michael J. Bassett, whose promising debut was the World War I trenches-set chiller Deathwatch, handles the first fully-fledged film adaptation of Howard's Kane stories with the same level of commitment Peter Jackson brought to the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, the darker moments of which are an obvious influence on Bassett's film. For less than the effects budget of this year's other sword 'n' sorcery adventures, Percy Jackson and Clash Of The Titans, Bassett has delivered a dark-as-balls Highlander for the 21st century, played with such conviction it's hard not to be swept along.
If weapons and wizardry get your blood up, and you prefer your movies dark and brooding and minus the sandals, Solomon Kane fits the bill. It may lack The Lord Of The Rings majesty, but Robert E. Howard fans will lap it up.

Drivers get the brush off over new car complaints
Consumer Affairs: manufacturers and dealers are failing to take responsibility for faulty vehicles. Laura Whateley reports
Car manufacturers and dealers are brushing off complaints about new, warrantied vehicles that develop faults, ignoring consumer rights under the Sale of Goods Act and leaving drivers thousands of pounds out of pocket.
Times Money has been inundated with letters from owners who have noticed a fault with their new cars but are unable to gain satisfactory redress from dealers. Meanwhile, Which? Car has found that a growing number of manufacturers are including complicated small print in their warranties, making it difficult for owners to make a successful claim when a problem with their new car arises.
Richard Headland, editor of Which? Car, says: "Carmakers are increasingly selling cars with longer warranties to entice buyers, but we warn that some have hidden catches. For example,…

Barbara and Mick Wilson's eldest child Sarah was adventurous and confident, and by the age of 36 she had notched up an impressive list of achievements.
As a mountain-biking journalist, her carefully planned trip to Peru in May 2000 should have been just another impressively tall but true tale to add to that list.
Sarah planned a six-month stay in Cuzco, but the early days included a white-water rafting trip on the majestic Cotahuasi river. A Lonely Planet writer warns that the river is "dangerous and difficult [classed as Grade 5, or most extreme] - not to be undertaken lightly (a friend of mine died in it)", and Sarah's raft was not on the water very long when it was upended by what is known as a hole, throwing Sarah and four fellow rafters into the rapids. Only their guide remained in the raft.
Her companions were rescued, and they helped search for Sarah non-stop for the next two days; exhaustive searches followed over the ensuing days, weeks and months by both air and land. Rewards were offered to villagers adjacent to the river. One of her shoes was found some time later on the bank of the river, a distressing and unhelpful find which led nowhere. Sarah's body was never recovered.
The geography of grief, like the Cotahuasi, is unforgiving. "I never want to go through those [first] six, nine months again," says Barbara. "It was like a rock in my chest. As if a horse had kicked me. My former energies were gone and a fatigue and slowing down seemed to go on for ever." Because Sarah's body was not found, it was natural to harbour hope that she might still be alive. Barbara, an eminent neuropsychologist, and Mick, a publisher (now retired), arranged a trip to Peru with their surviving children, Matt and Anna, hoping also to take granddaughters Rosie, 12, and Francesca, four. They were distraught to be advised not to take Francesca because of the extreme altitude. Francesca did not want to be left behind. "I promise not to die," she said. Rosie did go, but suffered altitude sickness. The trip allowed a picture of the place Sarah was last alive, however, and direct contact with the tour operator.
On returning home, Mick threw himself into work. Barbara took on committee work and conferences, fighting through rivers of exhausting tears which raged and consumed unbidden. Grief puts inordinate pressure on the strongest relationships, but although they grieved differently, Mick and Barbara found sanctuary in one another, in physical contact and in the constancy of family and friends. From three years' distance Barbara can observe that "I don't get that so much any more. I feel sad and I still cry easily, but I can talk about it without crying. And I still feel that it was inevitable, it was meant to happen to Sarah. I said once to Anna [Sarah's younger sister], 'Why couldn't she have had a lucky escape?' and Anna said, 'You don't know how many lucky escapes she's had already, Mum.' I still feel such a mixture of things - great anger, such a stupid risk - at other times I feel she's going to come back, she's still out there somewhere. I feel all of those things and a mixture of those things but it's certainly not as painful as that first year, and I never ever want to go through that again."
I first met Sarah's parents while editing the journal of The Compassionate Friends, a support charity for families who have lost a child. We had a lot in common, and Sarah and my daughter Caitlin, who died in 1998 aged 19, shared a birthday, June 11. The Wilsons discovered TCF a few weeks after Sarah's death. "We went to a TCF conference and realised we were probably the most recently bereaved parents there," says Barabara. "We heard a woman say that the second year after the death of a child was worse than the first." This innocent reflection from a parent "further along" in grief terrified the Wilsons.
"People said we were brave to go so early to a gathering of bereaved families," says Barbara. "But we weren't brave; we were just desperate to do anything that might help. And in the end it was a very important meeting for us." The Wilsons have now written a book, First Year, Worst Year. At the heart of the book is Barbara's diary of the first year following Sarah's death, a chronicle of her own negotiation of grief.
The couple are still angry that the Foreign Office was so unhelpful in the days following Sarah's disappearance. "We received no financial help," says Barbara. "People less fortunate would be able to do nothing, certainly would never be able to do what we did. The Foreign Office washed their hands of us, saying the Peruvians had to do it. They could have issued a death certificate, but they wouldn't. It took three years to get Sarah's death certificate - and however cynical it sounds, you only get help at the time from insurance companies if there is a body."
"There is an urgent need for policy change here, especially with gap year students travelling to developing countries," Mick adds. "Sadly but inevitably, some of them will die. Then their parents will have to fork out if they can afford to. If they can't, they will be helpless to act. When tragedies occur in this country, all kinds of searches and support are available. We almost take these facilities for granted, but they do not exist in many other places. Gap year students must take this fact on board when considering risk-taking sports in exotic locations, and there should be funding by the Foreign Office when emergencies occur. As for white-water rafting, we believe there is too glib an attitude towards it all round. This is a high-risk sport requiring state-of-the-art equipment. [Yet] there is no registration, no certification required as, for example, there is in scuba diving."
But they haven't written a campaigning book. "We've written the book to honour Sarah in a way that we could not do with flowers and visits to a grave," says Mick. "The book enables us to get across the immediate and terrible daily life we had to pull through in that first year - hence Barbara's daily diary; it shows a progression towards some kind of normality. And there's another reason. As atheists we wanted to write something for non-believers. We think our atheism has made our grief more manageable because we face up to the conviction that she is gone for ever, so we concentrate on the life we lived with her, her goodness, her ability to forgive others. We're not pontificating but we do think we can glory in her life on earth and not expect something else that may or may not be there. Paradoxically, some with faith seem more lost than us."
The second pilgrimage to Peru took place a year after Sarah's death. Mick describes the Cotahuasi Valley as "Wordsworthian in its power and majesty". "Sarah is in the deepest canyon in the world, surrounded by rocks and stones and trees. The mountains look down on her. She has returned to nature. She is still part of this wonderful world and we believe there is no other world for her to go to."
The Wilsons held a simple service for Sarah at the spot where she was presumed to be dead or at least unconscious before being pulled down into the depths. They played some of her favourite music, and Barbara threw her copy of Lance Armstrong's book It's Not About the Bike into the river, because Sarah would have liked it.
"It's the most beautiful place I've ever visited," says Barbara. "I wish I'd never seen it, and I wish Sarah had never seen it ... [but] at least now we can picture where she died and what it was like."

When I first started baby-wearing, I began with a moby. I loved it, but my dd quickly exceeded a comfortable weight for it and so I moved on to a ring sling. While I love my ring sling for quick trips, it's certainly not the most comfortable for extended baby wearing. After doing a lot of research I then decided on an Ergo. My husband loved it, but I found with my chest size the Ergo just wasn't comfortable on my back. I missed the ability to cross the straps over my chest as with a wrap. I thought about getting a woven wrap but decided I really wanted a cross between the ease of the ergo and the personal fit of a wrap. I ended up picking the UMC, which I had heard many wonderful things about. I like to shop as local and personally as possible so I also liked the idea of purchasing from a reputable wahp. I ended up purchasing my UMC on Zerberts as I fell in love with the dragon design. Since I'm now expecting my second, I haven't been using the UMC much, but I'm excited to pull it out again after the little one arrives.
I used the UMC all last winter. While I watched other mums get their strollers stuck in the thick Vermont snow, I walked with ease with the bub on my back and a dual poncho around us.
I can wear it for ages without hurting my back, and I love all the bells and whistles. The cup holders are perfect for nalgenes, and the key holder was great for just clipping them on. The sucking pads I tended to use more as shoulder pads, but they extended the comfort period. DD could be worn comfortably well over 25 lbs, and the creators have done tests with 13 year old so you know they're built to last. The waist thick and well padded for back support, and although the straps were a bit stiff at first, by the end they were getting really comfy. The detachable hood is one of the coolest parts, as it can be snapped into place to work either as a head rest or a full hood for a sleeping bub.
I think the best part of the UMC though is the personal touch of the creators. They're very friendly and will answer all your questions quickly. I really can't recommend this product enough! Oh, and I almost forgot, it's reversible so you can have a pattern that pleases both the dad and the mum.

Slash Your Odds of Experiencing a Holiday Snafu
What are the chances that you'll get an unpleasant surprise of some sort or another during the hectic holiday season? Well, there's always a possibility, but you can lessen the likelihood if you take a few simple precautions against some common holiday calamities. How likely is it that...
Your live Christmas tree will catch fire if you leave the lights on: Approximately 200 Christmas-tree fires are reported annually. Keep your natural tree watered and well tended to prevent igniting a flame; a dry tree is more likely to catch fire.
You'll get sick from Thanksgiving stuffing: No one can police how many helpings of Aunt Tillie's stuffing you scoop onto your plate, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 24-hour food-safety response system, dubbed "Ask Karen," can help you avoid food-borne illnesses―though only of the nongluttonous variety.
Your Thanksgiving flight will be delayed or canceled due to inclement weather: Flight cancellations are game-time decisions, so check in with your airline the day of your flight. Airport conditions, as well as links to all airlines complying with the Federal Aviation Administration, can be found at fly.faa.gov.
Your child will cry on Santa's lap in the mall: Visitors between the ages of 2 and 4 are more likely to turn on the waterworks at the sight of jolly old Saint Nick. Our best advice: Embrace it; it's a rite of passage.
Your family will get into a fight over a seemingly innocent board game: Let "You sunk my battleship!" be just that―a loser's concession in a friendly activity; don't let it start a family war.

SPORTS>> One to build on
Leader sportswriter
When going up against proven teams, the best thing a young team can do is stand toe to toe and try to earn some respect and self-confidence.
Jacksonville is one young team that has taken on that challenge, and has come out on the other side with a healthy dose of both.
Now with respect and momentum on their side, the Red Devils will travel to Mills Stadium this Friday to face the 5A-Southeast Comets (1-1), a team that the jury is still out on.
The Red Devils had the challenge of a dominant Cabot team to start the season. And while it went down as a loss, they fought until the end, scoring on a late running play by senior running back Patrick Geans to put three scores up against one of the stingiest defenses in the state. Geans went for 136 yards rushing in the contest.
They built on that performance with an upset over 5A contender Vilonia last Friday. Jacksonville stayed within a score most of the night, capitalizing on a late Eagle turnover with a 63-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Logan Perry to Stanley Appleby in a 27-21 victory.
Well, you hope that you build on it, Jacksonville head coach Mark Whatley said. It took every dadgum thing that we had to pull it out. Our defense kept responding and kept responding. We gave them the short field twice there to start out the game, and we had two great defensive stands.
Perry built on his varsity debut with a stout effort. The young sophomores solid play in the early season continues to impress Whatley.
Hes doing a good job, without a doubt, he said. He had a good night, and Stan Appleby kept pulling the trigger, especially on that long touchdown pass he got to put us up there at the end.
A lot of it is those senior leaders that he has around him. Those older kids help give him confidence with their leadership, and that goes a long way for a younger player like that.
While Mills has yet to show much offensive muscle, scoring only six points over two games, Whatley thinks the playmakers are there. And taking on the option-heavy Comets offense could pose a challenge, even to the speedy Red Devil backfield.
Theyre an athletic team, he said. Theyve got some speed, and their fullback looks like a load to handle. It looked like they had several kids that could take it the distance. Our last two games were such physical games. It should be a different look this week. I think our secondary will get tested a little more this week.
Even with the big win over Vilonia, the plan is to improve on weaknesses that were exposed against Vilonia. The illegal-participation penalties that crept up in Week 1 seemed to be taken care of, but another potential problem reared its head.
We turned the ball over four times, and thats never a good thing, Whatley said. We were lucky to do that and still win the ballgame. We need to do a better job of taking care of the ball, and we need to be a little more physical up front.
For Mills coach Patrick Russell, one aspect of the Red Devils stands out above the rest.
Theyre a good-looking football team, he said. They have a lot of speed.
The Comets started the season out severely short-handed, which led to a crushing 40-0 shutout at the hands of Parkview.
They rebounded with an outstanding defensive effort last week for a hard-fought 6-0 win over Little Rock Hall.
But the head Comet knows that his team will have to put more points on the scoreboard this Friday if it expects to improve to 2-1.
Yeah, its a big concern, Russell said. The first game, we had five starters out, and we looked better this last week. We moved the ball pretty well. We already had a lack of depth, and when you suspend five starters, any team is going to suffer. It was a concern, but theres nothing you can do. Youve got to go play.

This is the handcrafted Himitsu-Bako, a traditional Japanese puzzle box that requires 12 secret moves to open. The wooden box is imported from Japan and follows a 200-year-old custom developed in the forested Hakone region, where artisans honed the craft of Yosegi-Zaiku parquetry, creating intricate mosaics with different pieces of colored wood. Smooth and lacquered on the outside, the box's geometric patterns conceal its hinges and seams, challenging a user's dexterity and acuity to unlock the box's interior. The clever construction was historically used to secure valuables, and the four-sun box - a traditional measurement indicating a length of almost 5" - can hold a watch, rings, or other prized possessions. 4 3/4" L x 3" W x 2" D. (5 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Himitsu-Bako Puzzle Box comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Bullet For My Valentine 'Riot' at The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids
Welsh metal act Bullet For My Valentine have never been short on fans in Grand Rapids. That fact was proven again during a SOLD OUT show at The Orbit Room on Saturday night (May 11). Check out our photo gallery from the show below.
Bullet For My Valentine are headlining the 2013 hardDrive Live 5 tour to promote their latest album Temper Temper. The band had the crowd in a frenzy for over an hour during their performance, with songs going back to their 2005 debut The Poison. Guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget had a sick guitar solo segment in between "P.O.W." and "The Poison."
Sadly, they didn't play "Bittersweet Memories" which is one of our favorite BFMV tracks, but it's one of their slower ones. Maybe they wanted to keep the energy level up. Did you go to the show? Let us know what you though of their performance in the comments section.

Stickybeak science meddles in desire
Page Tools
Swedes sniffing about with our hormones is hardly rocket science.
Science is an instrument of pure reason that yanked us all from the bog of ignorance into an era of light. This, more or less, is how my high-school physics teacher explained things to the teenagers in her custody. Science, I now understood, represented more than just an F on my report card. Science was the cornerstone of Western civilisation, the font of all objective method and something you could really, truly trust.
Mrs Tan the physics teacher was echoing a faith in reason that would have done the Enlightenment fathers proud. She believed in the clarity of scientific inquiry and I did too. Until I grew a little older and more inclined to untidy thought.
I'm not on my own in a fuzzy distrust of science and reason. Theories of extreme uncertainty have flourished over the past century and many people, including both Martin Heidegger and Martha Stewart, questioned that there was such a thing as objectivity at all. The primacy of logic had been toppled. The possibility of belief in a pure, unbiased science is quashed, almost, for good.
There is a simple argument against the authority of science. And it's a little more persuasive than any of those offered by Heidegger, Werner Heisenberg and co. It goes like this: how absolutely daft is a whole lot of science these days?
It's daft. So daft, there's now an entire awards ceremony to celebrate scientific daftness. The Harvard-based Ig Nobel awards commend daft studies as diverse as "The Effect of Country Music on Suicide" and the proudly Australian-produced investigation "An Analysis of the Forces Required to Drag Sheep over Various Surfaces". All essential reading for incurable insomniacs. And for those who enjoy dragging livestock over a variety of surfaces.
Of course, there are some honourable people doing fabulous work in some praiseworthy Petri dishes. Then, there's a raft of daft.
One needn't pick over the loot of the Ig Nobels to find baloney. Scientific half-bakery is everywhere you look. Headlines of the past week reveal more daft palaver including a Communion wafer particle experiment, the development of armour that is resistant to grizzly bears and, from Sweden, a lab trial in olfactory pleasure. This latter elaborate drivel really grabbed my attention.
Swedish scientists have been sniffing out the source of sexual attraction. In a scenario that'd make a Fellini film seem tame, heterosexual men and women and homosexual men were asked to inhale chemicals derived from male and female sex hormones. With electrodes and hopes poised, the folks of Sweden's Karolinska Institute attempted to locate physiological differences between subjects of a bent or straight persuasion.
"Our findings support the contention that gender preference has a biological component," said useful neuroscientist Charles Wysocki, who obviously has his hands too full right now to be bothered finding a cure for epilepsy or motor neurone disease.
Apparently, in the course of the experiment, certain bits of the queer brain lit up like a Christmas Tree when inhaling certain odours. Eureka! Charles shouldn't stop at plain old testosterone. Make those gents sniff Christian Dior's fragrance range, aged balsamic vinegar and brushed Egyptian cotton. Does the gay nose know quality and fashion better than its straight cousin?
Mrs Tan sprang to my mind when I learned of this ostensibly "scientific" experiment. A bright woman, she was nonetheless stuck in an antique science curriculum that did not include doubt.
Quantum hippie Fritz Capra explained Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in a way that would give both Mrs Tan and the sex-smelling Swedes a headache: "My conscious decision about how to observe, say, an electron, will determine the electron's properties to some extent. If I ask it a particle question, it will give me a particle answer; if I ask it a wave question it will give me a wave answer."
The electron, he says, does not have properties that exist independent of the observer's mind. We simply cannot utter anything about the "objective" scientific universe without saying something of ourselves.
Wysocki has asked a gay subject a gay question and received a gay answer wrapped in the gayest pink ribbon. In the lab with Wysocki and his subjects was some rather tainted history.
Before 19th century scientists coined the term for acts we now refer to as "homosexual" - and branded them a "disease" - no one bothered to make much of a fuss about such things. In attempting to measure something so wonderfully intangible as human desire, science will achieve little, save for the travesty of its own method and the perversion of a pleasant thing like love.

A joke can easily be lost in translation, but the idea of a lighthearted springtime holiday is surprisingly universal.
What Americans know as April Fools' Day (sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day) is observed the world over. Though historical evidence is ambiguous, most believe that when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in the late 1500s, the New Year was moved from April 1 to January 1. Those who kept to the old tradition and the old date were labeled fools, hence the association. But no two celebrations are quite the same:

Tips for Gambling Responsibly
There are hundreds of online casinos available these days with many of them offering thousands of games to their customers of all different varieties and types. With so much choice is no wonder that millions of people play at online casinos every day in order to enjoy themselves and relax. In order to do this responsibly you have to make sure that you're not overspending and thus can enjoy every moment without worrying about money. This will always put a bad taste in your mouth if you end up overspending.
This is a simple problem to solve and can help you control your money responsibly. All you have to do is create a budget where you work out how much of your spare money every month you will spend on gambling. If you are new to gambling this number may be much smaller than seasoned veteran of online casinos. This is fine and is actually recommended as spending too much on sites like www.gamingclub.com/au/online-roulette means that you will not want to play again. The only part that can get hard is when you run out of the money and have to stop playing. However most online casinos offer free to play versions of their games so this should not really be a problem as well.
If you're worried about online casinos having your bank details then you can always use one of the many online money services such as PayPal, who are well trusted all around the world. With this you can pay into your online casino quickly and easily without giving them your actual bank details. This means that they cannot have access your money directly.

I was born into a beautiful land
Where berries glisten on the hedgerows
Song thrush warbles in the apple tree
Sunset colours dapple estuary and saltmarsh
Children play on village green.
I travelled to a beautiful land
Where Saurus cranes feed in emerald rice fields
Worshipers throng on Ganges banks
Monkeys crash though jungle trees
Sunrise flames Himalayan snows.
I live today in a beautiful land
Where wood nymphs hide beneath subalpine firs
Lilies bloom in glacier melt
Prairie dogs watch for eagle and coyote
Moonlight gleams on snowy Flatirons.
So simple, this wish
That when these ears are dust
Other ears will hear the thrush's song.
So natural, this prayer
That when these eyes are closed at last
Other eyes will gaze
Upon Himalayan snows.
So human, this desire
That when I am no more
Other feet will walk
The trails that I have loved.
My friends, can it be true?
Must we offer all this beauty
On the altar of our greed,
Burn it in the endless fires of Moloch?
Arise, awake,
While yet there may be time!
Awake and act
Before all this is lost!
Listen, awake,
And hear the song thrush call!
