1 User Reviews of Viking Legend Cruise Ship
This was our third cruise with Viking and our last. When we arrived in Budapest we found out that the boat was moved out of Budapest due to high water. That should have been our first clue to cancel this fiasco of a cruise. We were held in a hotel for 6 hours and then bused over an hour to the boat. that was the first of many bus rides since the river was too high for the boat to move.
I have cruised with Viking before and had no problems. What an eye opener when we had problems. We were offered a paltry voucher to use on our next cruise. I tried to talk with Viking customer services but they were more interested in telling how much overtime they had to work due to the high water situation. I wanted to voice my frustration at this compensation but received stonewalling and "I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do". I paid a premium to sail with Viking but they are acting like the Dollar Store of Cruise Lines. I have waited more than 2 weeks for areply and so far none is coming. Cruisers beware of Viking.
We were told misinformation, told things were going to get better, and given no option to being stranded on a floating hotel. Then as the water lapped over the banks of the Danube we were told we will be taken to Munich (a 12 hour bus ride). We can home exhausted from the bussing, and frustrated at the customer service of a cruise line that I thought was reputable. Vacationers beware of Viking. If anything goes wrong they will not be there to fix it.
Editor's note: this was two reviews from the same email address, it has been consolidated into one review.

TORONTO (AP) — Research In Motion's stock gyrations reflect investors' key concern: Is the BlackBerry maker's new phone the company's savior or isn't it?
THE SPARK: The company's critical new phone with the BlackBerry 10 operating system debuted Wednesday to mostly positive reviews. But the phone won't come out in the United States, a key market, until March.
Investors worried about RIM's future, had driven its stock to a nine-year low in September. But hopes that the new phone will juice demand for BlackBerrys and revive Research In Motion Ltd.'s fortunes have helped shares more than double since then.
Shares dropped 83 cents, or 6 percent, to $12.95 on the Nasdaq Thursday afternoon.
THE BIG PICTURE: Pioneered in 1999, the BlackBerry was a game-changing breakthrough in personal connectedness. It changed the culture by allowing on-the-go business people to access wireless email. But the iPhone's debut in 2007 showed that phones can do much more than email and phone calls, and exploded RIM's market. The company's shares sank for years as the BlackBerry lost ground to Apple Inc.'s iPhone and phones running Google Inc.'s Android system.
RIM promised a new system to catch up. But it has taken more than two years to unveil the new phones, which are redesigned for the multimedia, Internet browsing and apps experience that cellphone buyers now demand.
The first device in the new crop of revamped BlackBerrys will be the Z10. It will have only a touch-screen keyboard, like the iPhone and most phones running Android, including Samsung Electronic Co.'s popular Galaxy line. Although the Z10 will go on sale Thursday in the U.K. and next Tuesday in Canada, it won't be available in the U.S. until March.
The Q10 will follow at least a month later, in some markets, and will have a physical keyboard, a feature that has kept BlackBerry users loyal over the years because it makes typing easier. RIM couldn't say when U.S. carriers would have it.
THE ANALYSIS: National Bank analyst Kris Thompson said BlackBerry 10 launched with few surprises other than more delays. The expected March launch in the U.S. for the Z10 is "very disappointing," as U.S. business, consumer and government phone buyers are the phone's most important market, Thompson said in a note. The April debut for the Q10 disappointed him as well.
BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis said he doesn't think the phones will sell. By the time the Z10 goes on sale in March, "you'll have a lot of talk about all the new Android phones," Gillis said in an interview. "It's a decent product. They will have some success. We all like it, but I wouldn't buy one."
Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu suspects many investors are convinced the new BlackBerrys aren't different enough to diminish the popularity of the iPhone and Android devices.
Wu, who has a "Neutral" rating on the shares, said he was still concerned with RIM's "fundamentals."

BEIJING (AP) — Xi Jinping succeeded Hu Jintao as China's leader Thursday, assuming the top posts in the Communist Party and the powerful military in a once-a-decade political transition unbowed by scandals, a slower economy and public demands for reforms.
Xi was formally appointed as general secretary after a morning meeting of senior communists that capped a weeklong congress, events that underlined the party's determination to remain firmly in power. Xi also was named chairman of the military commission after Hu stepped down, breaking with the recent tradition in which departing party leaders hung on to the military post to exert influence over their successors.
The moves give Xi a freer hand to consolidate his authority as first among equals in the Politburo Standing Committee, the apex of power. Immediately after the announcements, Xi strode onto a stage in the Great Hall of the People, leading the six other newly appointed committee members, all conservative technocrats dressed in dark suits.
"We shall do everything we can to live up to your trust and fulfill our mission," the 59-year-old, pudgy Xi said in remarks that were broadcast on state television and worldwide.
Standing beside him were Li Keqiang, the presumptive premier and chief economic official; Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang; Shanghai party secretary Yu Zhengsheng; Tianjin party secretary Zhang Gaoli; propaganda chief Liu Yunshan, who was appointed Thursday to run the party's executive secretariat; and Vice Premier Wang Qishan, once the leadership's top troubleshooter and now head of the party's internal watchdog panel.
The ascent of Xi and Li became all but inevitable when they were inducted into the leadership five years ago, and they represent a generational change in leading the world's No. 2 economy and newest diplomatic and military power. It comes as China's investment-charged juggernaut economy is slowing, and as a more prosperous Chinese public expects improvements in living standards, government and social fairness.
"There are also many pressing problems within the party that need to be resolved, particularly corruption," Xi said, reiterating a theme of the recent congress. "We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole party must stay on full alert."
Xi is the son of a hero of the revolution and noted reformer. In all, at least four of the new leaders have solid communist pedigrees, a sign that 63 years after the revolution that brought the party to power, a new class of "red nobility" is entrenched.
Power-brokers have placed the party into their loyal hands as it confronts public outrage over a wide rich-poor gap and the corruption and privileges that have enriched the elite.
The new lineup is heavy on conservatives and leaves out reform-minded politicians who are allies of Hu, suggesting the leadership is unlikely to significantly liberalize the authoritarian government.
Except for Xi and Li, who are both in their 50s, the rest of the leaders are in their 60s and will reach the party's unofficial retirement age by the time of the next congress in five years, likely leading to continued political infighting.
"Political reform will be put on the back burner," said Willy Lam of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. "Politically it will be frozen. It will be totally frozen."
Xi has a chance to cut a more open and international figure than the ultra-reserved Hu. His wife is a popular singer, and his daughter studies at Harvard University.
Xi spent part of his youth toiling on a farm in the countryside when Mao Zedong's radical reign shut universities and targeted elite families like his. His university years and early career came as China embarked on reforms and began turning to the outside world for solutions to its chronic poverty.
On his rise to the top, Xi served as a secretary to a noted general, spent time as a low-level administrator in a rural area and then took successive postings in rapidly developing coastal provinces that placed him at forefront of market-oriented reforms. There, Xi gained a reputation as a can-do administrator, though one careful not to antagonize colleagues in China's consensus-bound politics.
Xi's promotion Thursday marked only the second smooth transition under communist rule, despite a turbulent political year in which politicking for leadership spots was buffeted by the messiest political scandal in decades.
Bo Xilai, a member of the elite like Xi and a contender for the Standing Committee, was purged months after an aide disclosed that his wife murdered a British businessman.
Speaking to the media Thursday, Xi traced China's ancient civilization and its struggles to regain its leading role in the world, culminating in a communist revolution that he promised to lead onward to the benefit of the Chinese people.
"Our responsibility now is to rally and lead the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in China in taking up this historic baton and in making continued efforts to achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation, make the Chinese nation stand rock-firm in the family of nations, and make even greater contribution to mankind," Xi said.
He then ran through a list of deliverables to the Chinese people: better education, higher incomes, a bigger social safety net, environmental protection.
"To meet their desire for a happy life is our mission," Xi said in his pleasing baritone, in remarks that were relatively free of the jargon Chinese leaders usually employ.
His remarks were carried across China, beamed from wide-screen televisions in public squares and on monitors on buses. While many people ignored the goings-on, others expressed optimism that the political transition would bring real change.
"The next 10 years is the most important period for China. The next decade carries the hope of developing the country to a higher level in terms of economic growth and clean government," said Qian Wenlei, a 70-year-old retiree in Beijing.
Xi begins his rule with a freer hand to establish himself, with Hu having given up the military commission. The seven-member leadership is smaller than the last, which had nine members, and that may streamline decision-making, which is done by consensus.
Still, Xi's colleagues in the leadership owe their positions not to him, but to other political patrons, and they have their power bases.
Li, who is in line to become premier, counts Hu as his mentor. Though Xi and several others in the new team share a patron in Jiang Zemin, the 86-year-old former party chief who retired a decade ago, they are not aligned in policies. That will force Xi to forge coalitions to get things done.
Among the newly empowered leaders is Liu Yunshan, who as propaganda chief the past decade has overseen ever-tightening controls over domestic media and sought to spread them to the relatively freer Internet. As head of the secretariat, Liu will now oversee many of the 82 million-member party's main departments.
"I don't think this is the dream team," said Wang Feng, director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy. "This is a very experienced, very mature and very cautious, stable team."
Getting their team in place will take the better part of a year. Hu still holds the largely ceremonial role of state president, which he is not expected to relinquish until the party-controlled legislature meets in March and appoints leading officials in the State Council, the Cabinet.
Hu seems to have been largely routed in the behind-the-scenes bargaining for positions; his top aide was not even included in the 25-member Politburo. The aide was sidelined in August after his son died crashing a Ferrari, a car he should not have been able to afford, and officials attempted to cover it up.
Associated Press reporters Didi Tang, Alexa Olesen and Charles Hutzler contributed to this report.

She was an educated daughter of the privileged class—granddaughter of two of Iraq's heroes from its pre-Saddam era. A successful journalist and later owner of a printing business, she seemed to live a more charmed life than most of Iraq's citizens. But as the door of the women's prison closed behind her, leaving her virtually entombed, she realized that her sense of security had been nothing more than an illusion, and as one prisoner after another was dragged away to be tortured, she understood the true horror that underlay her world. Mayada: Daughter of Iraq: One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein is her story as shared with fellow writer Jean Sasson.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives is expected to vote next week on a long-delayed bill to ensure U.S. companies receive all the market-opening benefits of Russia's recent accession to the World Trade Organization, congressional aides said on Friday.
The House Rules Committee has scheduled a meeting late Tuesday afternoon on the legislation to establish "permanent normal trade relations" (PNTR) with Russia, setting the stage for a full House vote on the bill by the end of the week, a House leadership aide said.
The Senate would also have to approve the White House-backed legislation for President Barack Obama to sign it into law.
Business groups say there is strong bipartisan support for the measure, but congressional leaders have delayed action all year in the face of concerns about Moscow's support for Iran and Syria and about its commitment to democracy and human rights.
On Thursday, a coalition of more than 500 companies and business organizations urged members of Congress to approve the bill quickly.
"For nearly 80 days now, all of the other 155 members of the WTO have been able to fully access Russia's market liberalizations, including new rules related to services, science-based animal and plant health, and intellectual property protection - but U.S. businesses cannot," the groups said.
The Business Roundtable welcomed news of the vote, and urged lawmakers to approve the bill.
"This legislation is needed to give U.S. companies and workers a fair chance to sell more of their goods and services to Russia," said BRT President John Engler in a statement. "Passage of this legislation will help increase U.S. exports and support American economic growth and jobs."
Russia joined the WTO in late August after 18 years of on-and-off negotiations. But in order for U.S. companies to receive all of the market-opening benefits, Congress has to repeal a Cold-War measure known as the Jackson-Vanik amendment.
The nearly 40-year-old provisions tied the most favorable U.S. tariff rates to the rights of Jews in the former Soviet Union to emigrate. Russia has been in compliance with the measure for nearly 20 years but Jackson-Vanik remains on the books, at odds with WTO rules that members provide each other normal trade relations on an unconditional basis.
Congress is expected to approve new legislation to punish Russian human rights violators as part of the PNTR bill.

Radiotherapy treats cancer by using high-energy rays that destroy the cancer cells, while doing as little harm as possible to normal cells. It can either be given as external radiotherapy from outside the body using x-rays, or from within the body as internal radiotherapy.
Usually there's no medical reason to stop having sex during external radiotherapy. If you're having internal radiotherapy, you will have to talk to your doctor or specialist nurse about how it will affect your sex life.

Westfall Chicken
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Pecks at ground.
Vocalizations (on-click)
This pet was formerly known as 'Prairie Chicken'. As of patch 3.1, horde characters are also able to obtain the CLUCK! quest in the same manner as alliance characters:
Find any chicken critter in Azeroth and repeatedly do the '/chicken' emote to it. Eventually the chicken's name plate will turn from yellow to green and you'll see the message "Chicken looks up at you quizzically. Maybe you should inspect it?" Speak to the chicken and you'll receive the CLUCK! quest. To complete the quest you'll need a bag of Special Chicken Feed (vendor in Westfall for alliance; Tirisfal Glades for horde). When the quest is complete, an egg will spawn. Loot this egg to receive the pet.
I had the most frustrating time trying to get this "hidden" pet. It either disappeared before I could buy the feed, or after I fed it, it said the quest was complete with a ? I couldn't find. A couple of times after I fed the chicken it turned into an ordinary battlepet chicken. My sig other finally did it for me and I saw the trick was after you fed the chicken to right click on it to obtain the egg that is the battle pet. Duh. RIGHT CLICK!!! It all has to be done really fast or the opportunity goes away.
Bummer it's only a green :/
Spamming /chicken over and over... other than being called a moron the only thing that has happened is that 2 chickens have turned into battle pets,.. is that normal?
Found this guide, it explains it pretty nicely:
I recently reached the 1000 battle pets limit, so I started deciding which ones I should put in cages or release so I could make more room for new pets to add to my army. Apparently Blizzard fixed the problem with the Westfall Chicken, because it wasn't long ago that you could not release this pet. At that time you could have 3, but you were stuck with whatever random breed you rolled. The good news is that as of October 2015, you can now release this pet.
The big downside of this pet is that it comes in four different breeds and you can't release any of them. As such, it makes those of us hardcore pet collectors try to pursue the best one (which I would assume would be S/B seeing as how it is a flyer), but hopefully you don't have bad enough luck to get three B/B chickens. I'm stuck with two B/B chickens but at least on the third try I got a P/B. Still would be nice to have a S/B one. :(
Confirmed that this is not only still working, but it's possible to pick up all three of your allowed chickens with a single act of idiocy! :)
Did this with my 37 Undead rogue; bought three of the special feed from William Saldean in Brill, found the ONE chicken in the graveyard, macro-chicken'd it for about 10 minutes, and repeatedly accepted/completed the quest until I ran out of feed. Grabbed all three eggs from the ground and voila! Westfall Chicken.
Can confirm this is still available. Got mine last night. April 21st 2014 Made the /chicken macro. Trick was to target a chicken critter. Just standing near it without targeting it didn't work. Also has to be a critter, not one of the battle-able critters. Found the chickens at the farm Solliden Farmstead west of Brill close to the coast.
I'm pretty certain that it only comes in as an uncommon quality. You'll need a stone to upgrade the pet to rare quality.
Does anyone know how to get this pet as a RARE? I've been trying to just loot one, but no luck.
I spammed /flap with food in bags and it took less then 2mins. Thanks for all the help!
Is this still obtainable? I just spent 2 hours with the special food in my bags spaming /chicken and nothing. Any Info would be helpful. I even tried /cheer occasionally and did the whole thing on several different chickens around westfall.
Ok, so the pet itself is non-tradable, right? However, I found out quite by accident that if you are grouped with another player, the other player can pick up the egg after the chicken lays it. Tried this with my friend the other day. I did the clucking and feeding and when it layed the egg, he was able to use the gear on it. This has prob been posted before, but thought it might be useful as a reminder. :)
Just did this quest 3 times. lol Drove my husband crazy...not to metion felt real silly if other characters went by. According to my addon I got two B/B and one S/B. Can anyone confirm that these are the only breeds available for these guys? If so, then I'm good, but if there's another stat combo available, I'd kinda like to see if I can get it! I kept one B/B and the S/B for the time being. Not using any stones just yet until I confirm breed options. Thanks! :)
You've got to /flap at chicken critters, not the wild battlepet chickens. That had me going for a while -_- Also, make a macro /flap to save time.
Wow, does this quest make you feel like an idiot or what :)
Tried it on "the" chicken in the Brill graveyard to no avail, so went south to Westfall and nailed it almost first time of asking. It works...provided you don't mind looking like a complete fool for a few minutes.
3 bags of feed... alot of clucking...3 westfall chickens... life is good :)
I can tell you from my perspective this does not work at all. I bought the special chicken feed, tried doing this with all my chickens, got rid of one rare just to catch a fresh one nearby and tried it with it. This isn't doing squat. I have tired out my hand clicking that stupid macro. Human mage, lvl 70 was doing the dirty work. I have to wonder if only races or roles can do it or if MoP 5.1 has made it unworkable. Hand is tired, I'm letting this rest.
I found you can repeat the quest 3 times before the ! goes away. I've been trying to spawn a rare chicken or seeing the stats. I've cycled about 30 eggs now (still all uncommon)
Anyone ever loot a rare westfall chicken? or do we need to feed it that pet food to increase it's rarity?
NOTE: you **DO NOT** have to /cheer the chicken any more!!! i lost the quest 5 times (and *lots* of minutes of my time) by doing this
just feed the stupid thing when it gives you the quest; make sure that you have the feed FIRST, and it helps keep critter-killers away if you put a mark (they laughed @ my skull, but were otherwise respectful) on your bird

Rated 1 out of 5 by Martin63 from Worked for 1 minute or less then quit Used it once to cut back a juniper shrub, the saw worked for a minute or less and stopped. Restarted and same experience repeatedly. Returned to J and I (dealer) who refused to replace the saw and were not helpful at all. Am VERY unhappy with this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lou73 from Really powerful I was surprised at how powerful the saw was. Very high quality. It cut through the limbs like there were butter. I usually use a heavy duty Stihl gas saw but after 10 years of service I gave it to my son.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Daggoo42 from Great for Average Homeowner I use a chainsaw primarily to cut firewood and fell the occasional dead tree on our 1/3 acre homesite. Although I have long experience with gas-powered chainsaws, I sometimes went six months without using mine, and consequently it would be hard to start and require more time nurturing it than using it. I traded in my gas-powered Stihl for this one and have been amazed at its power, cutting speed, light weight, maneuverability, and durability. I only need a 25' extension cord to reach our firewood stack, and with the 100' cord I use for my electric lawnmower I can reach all corners of our lot. I bought the 16" bar and have cut oak logs two feet in diameter with no problem. I maintain chain sharpness with a manual file and don't have to worry about fuel mixtures or winter storage. I've been using it for over a year and believe its superior construction and my infrequent usage ensures that it will give me many years of trouble-free service. I recommend this model strongly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Green1 from 16" Electric Chainsaw: A Sturdy, Quiet, Tree and limb eater. The MSE 210 C-BQ has been great! I have run this saw with my 2,000 watt rated super-quiet inverter generator and from the house and barn electric. I like the nice handling and ergonomics plus all its safety features. The list price may seem high, but if you buy it, you will not regret it. The performance is way ahead of any other electric chainsaw I have used. Built to last, and let you do the job safe, yet fast.

"How can Microsoft kill Python? When I say 'kill', I mean 'seriously damage the relevance of Python'. I don't mean that Microsoft, as some have suggested, will work on IronPython for a while, get people using it, then hijack the language by seriously changing the syntax of it and thereby breaking compatibility with CPython. So, how does this damage the relevance of Python? If Microsoft, who is investing considerable time and money to create a .Net implementation of Python, only refers to IronPython as a 'dynamic language' and only pushes it as a 'scripting language', many people will begin to assume that that's all that it is good for."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jim Stowers Jr., the billionaire founder of one of the nation's leading investment management firms who gave away most of his fortune to fight disease, has died. He was 90.
The Kansas City, Mo., philanthropist, whose tenacity in business was just as fierce as in his fight for stem-cell research, died Monday after a period of declining health, according to a news release issued by his namesake research firm and the investment firm he founded, American Century Investments.
Stowers was a struggling mutual fund salesman in 1958 when he founded Twentieth Century Investors Inc. with only two mutual funds and $107,000 in assets. That company grew into American Century Investments, one of the nation's leading investment management firms that currently manages about $141 billion in assets.
In 2000, Stowers and his wife, Virginia, who both successfully fought cancer, promised more than $1 billion of their fortune to create the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City. The endowment eventually grew to $2 billion.
"I've always said that if I make other people successful, they'll make me successful," he told The Associated Press in 2009. "We wanted to give something that was more valuable than money to the millions of people who made our success possible."
The gleaming institute has attracted world-renowned researchers to Kansas City and prompted civic leaders in the region to enhance collaboration between area research groups, health care organizations, universities and business interests.
"For Jim, creating new knowledge was the most powerful contribution he could offer mankind," said Richard W. Brown, chairman of the board of American Century Investments and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. "Throughout his whole life, whether as businessman or philanthropist, he thought about making things better for other people."
Stowers and his wife said they wanted the institute to focus on basic research into how genes work, to determine ways to alter genes to fight such ailments as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. But they faced skepticism from well-known U.S. research institutions about whether the Kansas City area could be a major player in biomedical research and life sciences.
By 2013, the institute had about 370 scientists, research associates, technicians and support staff.
"We were told that what we wanted to do couldn't be done here," Stowers told the AP in the 2009 interview. "We had a whole bunch of labs tell us that they could do a better job than us.
"You know, I had the same statements made to me when I started American Century. I just said, `I can prove it, I can do this."'
Stowers was born in Kansas City. He earned bachelor's degrees in art and medicine from the University of Missouri, and was an Air Force fighter pilot during World War II.
He and wife, Virginia, with whom he had four children, said they were motivated to help find cures by their bouts with cancer. Stowers was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1987, and his wife had surgery for breast cancer in 1993.
Stowers' efforts pushing stem-cell research sparked controversy in 2006, when state voters narrowly approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing that any federally allowed stem-cell research and treatment could occur in Missouri.
The Stowerses donated most of the $30 million spent by The Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, an organization formed to support the amendment, saying stem-cell research was important to the institute's efforts to fight disease.
The amendment was only narrowly approved, after a bitter political fight in which opponents claimed the use of embryonic stem cells for research required the destruction of a human embryo. Supporters contend the research does not end a life and had the potential to cure many debilitating diseases.

If you are leased on to a Motor Carrier and are operating under their authority this may apply to you.
Effective September 1, 2012 the FMCSA eliminated the "Vehicle Registrant Only" selection as an option on the Form MCS-150. As a result, we will no longer require "Registrant Only" USDOT numbers.
Per OCC rule 165:30-7-11(f) Because Oklahoma is a PRISM state we will require the USDOT number of the carrier responsible for safety on all renewal applications. If you have a "Carrier" USDOT you must also have updated your MCS-150 within a year of the effective date of your registration period. For information on updating your MCS-150 please visit this web site:
We will also require that your UCR (Unified Carrier Registration) be up to date. To learn more about UCR you may call (405) 521-2251 or visit the following website: www.occeweb.com/Divisions/tr/ucrPower of Attorney (POA)

The POA must identify the specific person(s) associated with the third party who will have authority to act on your behalf. Without a signed POA, we cannot speak or correspond with the third party about your account.
THIS SCHEDULE NOW REQUIRES THAT THE REGISTRANT INCLUDE, AT THE VEHICLE LEVEL, THE USDOT NUMBER OF THE CARRIER RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY, IF DIFFERENT THAN THE REGISTRANT, AND THE TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) ASSIGNED TO THAT USDOT.
1. Corrections should be made directly on the printout.
2. Credentials for vehicles not to be renewed must be returned
a. When the renewal application is filed, or
b. Sign and notarize the attached affidavit only if the renewal application is received in this office prior to the expiration of the license year. (See affidavit for return of operating credentials.)

4. Only vehicles added after the printout date are to be listed on the separate
Schedule A (included).5. Add on vehicles, which are not renewals, must be submitted on a Schedule C and filed as a Supplement.
6. The Oklahoma Tax Commission Motor Vehicle Division has determined that auxiliary axles, commonly referred to as converter gears, dollies, jeeps and boosters do not meet the statutory definition of either trailer or semi-trailer. Therefore, they are not required to be titled and registered in this state. However, should a registrant, after being advised of the above, still wish to title/register his equipment as a commercial trailer, as they plan to pull it into another state that may require registration, they may be allowed to do so.
1. Place an "A" in the box immediately to the left of the Jurisdiction(s) in which the vehicle(s) are to be registered and in which actual distance was accrued during the reporting period. Place the actual distance in the box to the right of the Jurisdiction(s).
The distance reporting period is the twelve (12) consecutive months before July 1st of the year before the year registration is sought.
You must use the distances accrued during the distance reporting period of
July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012
2. If an Applicant has not operated for ninety (90) days or more during the distance reporting period (if you opened your account after April 1, 2012) , or there were no distances accrued during the reporting period, or if a new Jurisdiction is being added, place an "E" in the box to the left of the Jurisdiction and the estimated distance corresponding to the Jurisdiction(s) from the "Estimated Distance Chart" (included in this packet) in the box to the right of the Jurisdiction(s). This distance should be multiplied by the number of Power Units being renewed.
NOTE: If you feel that the chart results in an unreasonable estimate of anticipated activity, and If the route of the vehicle(s) can be determined, and will not vary, a Schedule G (attached) may be used in lieu of the "Estimated Distance Chart". In filling out the Schedule G, the route and round trip distances, multiplied by the number of trips, must be included. If you cannot determine your routing you may contact our office for assistance.
The reported distance shall include only the distance traveled by the vehicle(s) registered as part of the Applicants fleet during the distance reporting period. Article II of The International Registration Plan requires trip permit distances to be included as part of the total distance.

Article X: Records & Audit
1005: Adequacy of Records – defines the purpose for which Registrants are required to keep Records: to allow the base jurisdiction to (1) verify the distances a Registrant has reported on its application, and (2) evaluate the Registrant's distance accounting system. If the Records made available by a Registrant for audit are (a) sufficient and (b) appropriate for these purposes, they are deemed to be adequate.
1010: Contents of Records - Records containing the items listed in this section shall be accepted by the base jurisdiction as adequate under section 1005.
o For Records produced by a means other than a vehicle tracking system,
the beginning and ending dates of the trip to which the Records pertain
the origin and destination of the trip (city & state)
the route of travel
the beginning and ending reading from the odometer, hub odometer, engine control module (ECM), or any similar device for the trip
the total distance of the trip
the distance traveled in each jurisdiction
the Vehicle Identification Number or vehicle unit number
o For Records produced wholly or partly by a vehicle tracking system, including a system based on global positions system (GPS),

Note: Summaries must be made available for the audit upon due notice and demand by the Base Jurisdiction.
Note: Records which do not contain all of the elements set out in Section 1010 may still, depending on the nature of the Records and the Registrant's operations, be fully adequate for an Audit.
1015: Inadequate Records Assessment – If the Registrant fails or refuses to make records available for audit, or if the records made available are, as a whole, so inadequate the they cannot be audited, the Base Jurisdiction shall impose an assessment in the amount of twenty percent (20%) of the Apportionable fees paid by the Registrant for the registration of its fleet in the Registration Year to which the Records pertain including fees based on estimated distances.

Ingenious Jigs: Swingin' Outfeed Table
Get extra outfeed space without sacrificing precious floor space.
By Eric Hedberg
Pages: 84-85
From the August 2006 issue #156
Buy this issue now
Who says that table saws aren't "hip?" This version of an outfeed table puts a little swing in one of the most useful but problematic tools in my shop, and like Duke Ellington says: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing." In my cramped shop, this is especially true. Wall space has premium value, and precious little is available to hang accessories and supplies on. The only thing more precious is my floor space.

I find myself listening to a lot of classic country and gospel music because it brings back sweet memories of my Dad. It has been eight years since he passed into eternity with Jesus. I still find myself wishing I could share good news with him. I still sometimes think it is him when the phone rings on Sunday afternoons.
I wish he could have seen how his grandsons in Texas have grown up to be godly and good men. I wish he could have seen how his daughter-in-law trusted God as she faced down cancer. I wish he could have met his great-grandson in Texas. I wish he could have seen how his son finally began to understand how to live in the amazing grace of Jesus. I wish I could have told him that his example gave me a foundation for how the grace of God is possible. If my flawed earthly father could love me that much and without condemnation then I can begin to understand how a loving God can love me despite my junk and flaws. Not every man can say that and I am grateful that I can.
I couldn't help but smile when I thought of him as I watched the news today. The current debate in Washington and the selfish agendas of our "representatives" would have driven him nuts. I could almost hear him ranting about the politicians and how we just need someone with "some uneducated good old common sense" in our Nation's Capital. He earned the right to rant. He was one of the incredible men and women who served our country during World War II. The flag from his military funeral is one of my proudest possessions.
I find myself becoming my Dad more and more each day. A couple of my dad's favorite songs provide today's iPod devotional. It is the musical version of comfort food. The first song is particularly appropriate as I watch disturbing news story after disturbing news story. I listened to one of my dad's songs and felt comfort wash over my soul. The song is called "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" and it was written in 1950 by a traveling preacher named Ara Stanphill. This is a song of trust written during a time of agony and doubt in his life. Stanphill's wife battled addiction and left him for other men. You could imagine the gossip that flew in that era when a preacher's wife left to live a life of sin. Yet Stanphill forgave her, tried to reconcile and remained true to his vows. But he was human and he suffered depression and grief. He wondered why God would allow such a fate for a man dedicated to His service. One day he was feeling sorry for himself as he drove. In the book Turn Your Radio On author Ace Collins relates the struggle that Stanphill faced. In the depths of his sadness he began to hum a tune and the next thing he knew he was singing a song. He sang about not knowing what was in the future but knowing that God was with him every step of the way. He rushed to his piano when he arrived at his office and jotted down the words. I remember to my dad playing a scratchy vinyl record from Faron Young.
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
I believe those words. I don't know why some things happen. I am angry, frustrated and deeply concerned about what is going on in Washington. But at the end of the day I put my hope not in politics but in Jesus. I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand. And then I listened to what I would guess was my dad's favorite song. He would sing along loudly and I remembered that I also inherited my dad's lack of singing talent. But his heart believed the words that Red Foley and the Sunshine Boys sang.
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, my Lord,
no trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
My dad is experiencing that today. No more sadness, no sorrow, no troubles. So in the midst of craziness and confusion I hold on to the hope that my dad believed. I know who holds tomorrow and I know there will be peace in the valley for me some day. More and more I understand the words that C.S.Lewis wrote.
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
That is what Jesus was saying as He comforted His followers with these words recorded in the Gospel of John.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."
I miss my dad but I don't feel sad for him. He is home and someday I will be home as well. So today I choose to trust God for today and sing this little chorus my dad loved so much.
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

Thursday, December 3, 2009: Lamberts Downtown Barbecue (Austin, Texas)
Russell: "Pulled Pork – They had some very tender pulled pork – some of the best in town in fact – but I found myself needing to put quite a bit of their delicious house sauce on it, to enhance the moisture. Brisket – Lamberts has a tender well-marbled, coffee-rubbed brisket, that is almost as tender as their pulled pork. Quite a feat really. Pork Rib – Mine had pretty good flavor, but was a bit dry and crisp on this day. Sides – Beans and mac & cheese both very tasty, as Mike indicated they would be. Overall – For those interested in a more upscale atmosphere, convenient-to-downtown BBQ joint, Lamberts does the trick in a unique, one of a kind style. It's a trendier, fancier atmosphere, with more of an interesting twist on Texas BBQ, than that which I am accustomed; however, I really enjoyed all the items which my attorney colleagues Mike and TW recommended. Lamberts really is a good, quiet place for a nice lunch meeting with civilized meat eaters."
Travis: "Brisket - The brisket at Lamberts is consistently my favorite of their offerings. The brown sugar and coffee rub provides subtle flavors, and the meat is always very high quality. The brisket is not ropey; it is tender, moist, and marbled without being overly fatty. In short, the brisket is really good. Pork ribs - The pork ribs have a nice sweet and sticky sauce that forms an almost-crunchy crust on the ribs. This provides a very nice texture contrast. However, the quality of the pork was weak compared to the brisket, as it was a little too fatty. Sides - I had the collard greens with bacon and the macaroni and cheese. The collard greens were good, but almost nothing is bad with bacon. The macaroni and cheese, which is normally fantastic, was a little off--it had an odd flavor that seemed like it didn't belong. Overall - Lamberts serves an interesting foodie take on BBQ, billed as 'fancy barbecue.' We went for lunch, which is limited compared to the dinner menu, which has a larger selection of smoked meats (e.g., quail and rainbow trout) and grilled steaks. Lamberts is great, but this particular meal wasn't excellent."
Mike: "Pulled Pork -This is the best thing at Lamberts, especially at lunch. Great flavor, good texture (not too dry, not too moist), and spiced in a way that allows folks to kick it up with sauce but lets others who don't want the heat still enjoy it. Brisket - The brisket is a strong second at Lamberts. I have had it over 10 times and it is very consistently flavorful, tender, well marbled, but I am still convinced the 'coffee rub' doesn't do anything for it other than let them charge a buck more a pound. Pork ribs - The pork ribs are okay, especially on days/nights when they have a crunchy crust, but they are a bit sweet for my taste and I am still hacked off that they took off their beef ribs, which were much less sweet with a bit of a kick, but apparently not enough of a crowd pleaser as these cotton candy ribs. The quality of the pork rib meat is nothing to write home about, which is surprising given how much care they take in delivering consistent meat quality on the other items. Sides - The mac and cheese is a consistent performer at lunch and dinner and the beans are solid also. One of the best parts about dinner at Lambert's is that they have a wide range of very tasty sides, including some items they make better than most - among them brussel sprouts (something I would not eat if they weren't so damn good there). Overall - By my measure, this is the best 'fancy barbecue' joint in Austin when you factor in three things that matter to me (but might not matter to everyone). Those factors are: (1) location (there just aren't that many downtown BBQ places worth visiting, so supporting Lamberts is important for those of us that need a place in close proximity to downtown/the Capitol to entertain clients and Legislators; (2) live music (the upstairs of Lamberts is a great live music venue and we simply don't have enough quality BBQ joints that are also good music venues; (3) patio seating (when the weather is nice in Austin, there is simply no reason to be sitting inside, so I give Lambert's high marks for having a patio seating area where they serve lunch and dinner). Lunch isn't bad at Lambert's but its strength is dinner for two reasons: many more smoked meat and side options at dinner and that is when the music is playing."

It's great to see that you all feel like Lamberts is a decent downtown option. When we have clients and partners in town they often ask to have BBQ but it's not usually practical to leave downtown. We even had our company party at Lamberts and they did a great job. I'm partial to their wild boar ribs, which isn't technically BBQ I know, but tasty nonetheless.

I wasn't on this particular outing, but I have been to Lamberts once before. I had the wild-boar ribs and, like you, thought they were tasty. Not much meat on them, but nice flavor and texture. A little crispy on the outside (with a nice glaze), which I like. I ordered the pulled pork, which I thought was excellent. Enjoyed all of their sauces. Not your typical Texas BBQ joint (probably why we haven't had a big outing there - well, that and the price and the parking), but they do a great job with their fare.

Based on your previous coursework and experience in mathematics, you can determine which of the following initial mathematics courses would be most appropriate if you choose to take a Mathematics course to fulfill the Quantitative and Analytical Reasoning requirement. Read the descriptions of these courses carefully, mindful of your prior math preparation, and choose the level that matches your interests and abilities. First-year students typically choose their first mathematics course from among the four options listed below. Several majors require specific quantitative courses as seen in the table on Quantitative and Analytical Reasoning.
Students who are primarily seeking to obtain a broad background and to fulfill the quantitative requirement will be best served by options 1 through 4. Students desiring a more technical quantitative background, particularly for use in mathematics or quantitative science, will be better served by options 4 through 9, courses in the main calculus sequence. Option 4 does indeed fit both categories of students. All of the courses in options 1 to 4 have the (QA) or (QA*) designation as indicated.
If you opt to take calculus, which course in the sequence is for you? Information for placement within the calculus sequence is provided below. Your background and previous calculus experience will place you into the most suitable course. You may also contact a member of the Mathematics Department for advice – see www.willamette.edu/cla/math/faculty.html.
- Contemporary Mathematics (MATH 130) (QA*) - A survey of contemporary topics in mathematics such as: voting systems and power, apportionment, fair division of divisible and indivisible assets, efficient distribution, scheduling and routing, growth and decay in nature and economics, symmetry and fractal geometry, probability and statistics. Instructor consent is required to receive credit for MATH 130 after MATH 251 is completed.
- Statistics (MATH 138) (QA*) - An introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. Emphasizes everyday applications and practical skills. This course is an excellent preparation for dealing with the statistics one encounters every day in our society, and is particularly recommended for students who neither need nor desire a calculus background. Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra.
- Discrete Mathematics (MATH 163) (QA*) – An introduction to basic techniques and modes of reasoning in combinatorial problem-solving. Topics will be chosen from combinatorial mathematics, logic and Boolean algebra, difference equations, graph theory and applied algebra. Prerequisite: two years of high school algebra. Note this course is offered only in spring semester.
- Modeling with Calculus (MATH 140) (QA*) – Modeling with Calculus introduces and applies the concept of calculus to solve open-ended, real-word problems, especially those in the natural and social sciences. The emphasis is on developing and interpreting mathematical models. Topics include differential calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. This course takes advantage of computational tools so that the focus can be on calculus concepts useful in applied work. This course is appropriate for students with no prior calculus experience. Prerequisite: High school math beyond Algebra II recommended. Students who have taken a full year of high school calculus should begin calculus study with MATH 152, MATH 153, or MATH 249; see calculus placement advice below.
- Accelerated Calculus I (MATH 151) (QA*)(0.5 cr) - A first course in calculus for students with some previous exposure to the subject. Topics covered include limits; continuity; derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, and exponential functions; implicit differentiation; the Mean Value Theorem; and optimization.
- Accelerated Calculus II (MATH 152) (QA*)(0.5 cr) - A second course in Calculus. Topics covered include definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, volume, arc length and surface areas, integration techniques, improper integrals, polar coordinates, and parametric equations. Prerequisites: MATH 140 or MATH 151, or equivalent.
- Sequences and Series (MATH 153) (QA*)(0.5 cr) - A half-semester course on sequences and series. Topics covered include sequences and series, Taylor Polynomials, Taylor Series, convergence, and Fourier Series. Prerequisite: MATH 152 or equivalent.
- Multivariable Calculus (MATH 249) (QA*) - Three-dimensional analytic geometry; partial differentiation; maxima-minima problems; multiple integrals; vector fields, curl and divergence; line and surface integrals; applications. Prerequisite: MATH 142, MATH 152, or equivalent; see calculus placement advice below. Please note that MATH 249 does not cover information included in MATH 153 (Sequences and Series). Passing MATH 249 with a C- or better satisfies both quantitative analysis requirements.
Calculus Placement Advice
In the Advising and Course Preferences Questionnaire you indicated if you have previous calculus experience. This data will assist the Registration Advisor in placing you into the most suitable course based on your background. While each specific situation is different, we generally follow the placement advice outlined below.
Students with no calculus background should take MATH 140 Modeling with Calculus. This course is designed for students who are likely to only take one course in calculus. We recommend that students have high school math beyond Algebra II. Students with some exposure to calculus who are planning to take more than one calculus course should consider taking Accelerated Calculus I MATH 151, a 0.5 credit course.
Preparation for Calculus: In most cases, students who want to take calculus but who have not had calculus before should take MATH 140, which includes significant pre-calculus review. Students who feel they need more review also have the option to sign up for MATH 135 Preparation for Calculus. Please note that MATH 135 does not carry a QA or QA* designation. Please contact a member of the Math Department if you are not sure which course is best for you.
Students with High School Calculus:
AP credit
- A score of 4 on the Calculus AB exam earns credit for MATH 151 and places students into MATH 249, MATH 152, or MATH 153.
- A score of 5 on the Calculus AB exam or a score of 4 on the Calculus BC exam earns credit for MATH 151 and MATH 152, and places students into MATH 249.
- A score of 5 on the Calculus BC exam earns credit for MATH 151, MATH 152, and MATH 153 and places students into MATH 249.

Texas can still score a lot of runs, even without any opening-day pop from its big offseason acquisitions.
Fortunately for the Rangers, they might not have to wait too much longer to get Yu Darvish back on the mound.
With their ace eligible to come off the disabled list as early as this weekend, the Rangers sent converted reliever Tanner Scheppers to the mound for opening day, and it didn't work out very well. The right-hander allowed seven two-out runs over four innings in his first career start, and the Rangers lost 14-10 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.
"We want to stop giving up runs with two outs," manager Ron Washington said. "Those are supposed to be the most difficult runs to get."
Philadelphia led 6-0 after Jimmy Rollins hit a grand slam in the second inning, but the Rangers came back to take a 7-6 lead off Cliff Lee (1-0) in his return to Texas. Scheppers and the bullpen were unable to make that hold up against the Phillies, who had 17 hits and their most runs in a season opener since 1900.
"I was extremely disappointed. You bear down there. My pitches were around the zone," Scheppers said. "I was just trying to be too fine with everything, trying to hit corners. Unfortunately, I put the guys in a big hole."
Darvish and left-handed starters Matt Harrison and Derek Holland are on the DL, clearing the way for Scheppers became the first pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981 to make his first career start on opening day. Scheppers, who had 76 relief appearances last season, struck out two and walked three.
Josh Wilson, the journeyman starting at second base in place of injured Jurickson Profar, had a three-run double in the bottom of the second to make it 6-4. Texas went ahead on Alex Rios' three-run homer in the third.
John Mayberry Jr., a first-round draft pick by the Rangers in 2005 who never played for the big league club and was traded three years later, came up as a pinch hitter in the fifth and had a tiebreaking two-run double off Pedro Figueroa (0-1) for a 9-7 Phillies lead. Marlon Byrd and Cody Asche later added homers.
Shin-Soo Choo and Prince Fielder, the big offseason additions for Texas after missing the playoffs last season for the first time in four years, were a combined 1 for 9. Fielder singled and scored on Rios' homer.
The Rangers still scored their most runs on opening day since a 10-4 win over the Chicago White Sox in 2000.
"Offensively, it was a good game for both teams," Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus said. "That's a good sign when you're behind and start hitting."
Rollins matched Cal Ripken's major league record by starting his 14th consecutive opener at shortstop for the same franchise.
Lee matched his career high by allowing eight runs and struck out only one, but the left-hander made it through five innings in another less-than-stellar opener for him in the Rangers' home ballpark.
Lee got a nice ovation before pitching in Texas for the first time since starting for the Rangers in Game 5 of the 2010 World Series. The lefty also made a season-opening start here for Cleveland in 2009, when the then-reigning AL Cy Young Award winner allowed seven runs over five innings in a 9-1 loss.
"I don't like being on the pitching side of that, but fortunately we outscored them and got the win, the main thing," said Lee, who had a solid spring. "Jimmy hitting that grand slam busted it open. And we kept adding it on and we needed it, as it turned out."
NOTES: It was the earliest interleague game in MLB history. ... The front-row seat by the Rangers dugout where Nolan Ryan used to sit was occupied by former Rangers and Phillies player Michael Young, who retired during the offseason. ... The national anthem was performed by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, 20 years after they accompanied the late Van Cliburn, an award-winning classical pianist who lived in Fort Worth, for a stirring rendition before the first regular-season game ever played at the stadium.

Project Medicine Drop is a pilot program in which, beginning today, the Division of Consumer Affairs will install "prescription drug drop boxes" at three New Jersey police departments – those in Little Falls, Seaside Heights, and Vineland. Once the boxes are in place, members of the public will have the opportunity to dispose of their unused and expired prescription medications safely and securely. The opportunity is available to the public seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Attorney General Dow and Director Calcagni noted that today's announcement builds on the success of the US Drug Enforcement Administration's National Take Back Initiative, and the American Medicine Chest Challenge, which is sponsored in New Jersey by the DEA, Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey, and Sheriffs' Association of New Jersey. The most recent DEA Take Back Day was held October 29, and the most recent American Medicine Chest initiative was held November 11. Both programs enabled members of the public to drop off their unused medications at pre-identified, secure locations throughout those days.
Project Medicine Drop makes the opportunity available throughout the year. The three police departments that have agreed to host the medicine drop boxes will maintain custody of the deposited drugs, and dispose of them according to their normal procedures for the custody and destruction of controlled dangerous substances. They will report the quantity of discarded drugs to the Division of Consumer Affairs on a quarterly basis.
"For too many New Jersey teenagers, addiction begins in the medicine cabinet. National surveys show teenagers who abuse these drugs often take them from relatives, or get them from friends. Many people mistakenly believe prescription painkillers are less dangerous and less addictive than cocaine or heroin – but they are tragically wrong," Attorney General Dow said. "The fight against addiction must therefore begin at home. This pilot program will enable New Jerseyans who wish to get rid of their unused medications, to do so throughout the year in a safe and secure manner."
Consumers from anywhere in New Jersey may deposit their medications in any of the three drop boxes being installed this week. The Division plans to expand the program in 2012, to include police departments in each of New Jersey's 21 counties.
"Forty Americans die each day as a result of prescription painkiller abuse," said Thomas R. Calcagni, Director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. "Reports indicate that over twelve million Americans abused prescription drugs in the last year alone, while prescription opioid overdose now kills more people than cocaine and heroin combined. With the abuse of prescription drugs reaching epidemic proportions, it's the obligation of all of us to ensure that unused medication is disposed of securely and responsibly. Today, we're inviting parents, grandparents, and others to join us on the front lines of the battle against prescription drug abuse. The simple act of depositing your unused medications with Project Medicine Drop will help prevent addiction, and help save lives."
Dow and Calcagni pointed out that flushing unused medications – especially those classified as controlled dangerous substances (CDS) – down the toilet, or discarding them in the trash, poses health risks. Scientists have expressed concerns about the effects of medications released into water supplies after flushing down the toilet or sink, and the US Geological Survey has found traces of pharmaceuticals in streams in 30 states. Placing drugs in the trash creates the potential that they will be found by those seeking to sell or abuse them.
"Abuse of prescription drugs is a growing epidemic in this country that results in 15,000 deaths annually," said Health and Senior Services Commissioner Mary E. O'Dowd. "Project Medicine Drop will provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of prescription drugs and at the same time help us prevent addiction, harmful overdoses or accidental death."
Project Medicine Drop will place unused drugs in the custody of the Little Falls Police Department, Seaside Heights Police Department, and Vineland Police Department. These agencies are authorized to take custody of controlled dangerous substances, keep them secure, and safely destroy them.
Information about the boxes, and their specific locations, can be found atwww.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/meddrop.
Facts about the abuse of prescription drugs:
Further efforts:
The Division of Consumer Affairs is preparing to launch New Jersey's Prescription Monitoring Program (NJPMP), a statewide electronic database for the tracking of prescription controlled dangerous substances (CDS) and human growth hormone (HGH) dispensed in New Jersey by pharmacists in outpatient settings, and dispensed into New Jersey by out-of-state pharmacies.
The NJPMP data will help the Division identify the warning signs of "doctor shopping," in which abusers obtain prescriptions from multiple doctors in order to hide the full quantity of drugs they are purchasing. The NJPMP is also expected to help identify the indiscriminate prescribing and dispensing of controlled dangerous substances by medical practitioners and pharmacists, as well as assist in informing public health initiatives by outlining trends of the use and abuse of prescription drugs.
Calcagni also noted that the Division – which includes all of the State's healthcare professional licensing boards, including the Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Pharmacy – has been partnering with law enforcement, regulators, and professional associations throughout New Jersey and the country, in a combined effort to halt prescription drug abuse.
He specifically gave credit to the DEA, New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey, New Jersey Poison Information and Education Center, Little Falls Police Department, Seaside Heights Police Department, and Vineland Police Department for their efforts.

Vegan omega 3 supplements from V-pure
7 Comments »
Purity and potency from algae oil made in the USA for both DHA and EPA is available as Pure One Optimized Omega-3. Just wanted you to know about a second choice in this area. Thanks Dr. Scott Doughman
@Source-Omega: Hello Scott, welcome to the site and thank you for the link. It's good to share resources. How do people with sugar intolerance cope with the sorbitol in your capsules?
[…] Little Green Blog » Vegan omega 3 supplements from V-pure […]
@Mrs Green: Thank you for this important question. Sorbitol is part of the capsule and is the safest non-glycemic sugar, plus this trace natural ingredient is at very low levels in Pure One. We also offer the liquid oil so you can remove the sorbitol from the equation.
Hey Mrs Green,
There is a new fantastic product available called Opti3. It is also 100% vegan approved and is higher strength than V Pure. Opti3 contains DHA, EPA, ALA and SDA (SDA of course has a superior conversion to EPA than ALA). Literally goes directly up against fish!
It was only launched this year and I saw it at the health food awards where it won best new product.
Great product, great price

there is a huge difference in performance between SD cards
Sadly, the Raspberry Pi has a bootloader bug that makes it incompatible with some cards.
- I notice in the Beta5 IDE Tools menu that you can choose one of three CPU speeds - e.g. to overclock at 96MHz. Is this selection all you need to do or do you also have to make some sort of hardware change?

Yes you can connect it directly.
I tried a benchmark of my own using a function which computes the bearing between two locations specified as lat/long.
