WolfPak WPETPT1 Single Trumpet CaseThe WolfPak Single Trumpet Case has been designed to offer the superior protection of a hard case while providing the lightweight convenience of a gig bag. WolfPak Trumpet Cases feature a shatterproof shell to eliminate weak points associated with normal closure hardware, plus over 1-1/2" of fabric-covered foam to absorb any blows to the case from normal day-to-day use and abuse. Because of their revolutionary design, WolfPak Trumpet Cases outperform other conventional wood or fiberglass instrument cases.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I bought a WolfPak single trumpet case/gig bag a few months ago. I had wanted one of these for years and finally got one. I play a variety of music in different settings, so I was looking for a single case/bag in which to carry several items besides my horn, mouthpieces, and usual accessories (valve oil, etc.).
The WolfPak single case has plenty of storage in the outer pocket. The size of the pocket is basically the same size as the side of the case. the zipper is not as sturdy as most Protec cases, but it works well. There is also a small, rigid storage compartment with flip-up lid inside the case.
Be warned of four things: 1. This case is much larger and heavier than the average single trumpet gig bag. Due to the thick padding and size of the case, the WolfPak is much heavier than its competitors' reinforced gig bags. 2. The lid is padded but not rigid like the rest of the case. You may want to use some extra padding over your horn on the lid side. 3. The instrument compartment does not have a pre-molded shape for your horn. Instead WolfPak provides four small 'pillows' with Velcro (so they can be moved around) to cradle your horn. This was disappointing to me when I saw it for the first time, as there are no photos of the inside of the case anywhere on the internet. 4. The main compartment's zipper closure has to be worked together a bit before you can zip it up. Basically, the lid's zipper is on a bit of a flap that goes around the top lip of the rest of the case. It is a breeze to do, but it takes a moment longer to close this case than it does most gig bags, including Protecs.
Overall I think this is a good case but it has a couple flaws, mainly the lack of a pre-formed cradle for your horn and the lack of a solid lid. But both faults can be overcome with a little ingenuity. For a musician on the go who has to carry a lot besides the basics - and who does not want to carry an extra bag around for all the extra things - this is a great choice.
I bought this case a few months ago, but was not able to see a picture of the inside. The Case was perchased through WWBW site. Although the case is solidly built and certainly protects the instrument, and turned out to be, more or less, rain proof, this case has several design flaws: 1) There is no room for accessories, such as mutes. I had to purchase a small carry case to be able to have my mutes and other accessories with me. 2) The small accessory compartment is very tiny, and the small tab that allows opening it quickly ripped out, 3) The carrying strap is very uncomfortable to sling over the should. 4) there is no top handle to carry the case vertically, it would be an improvement to have a top handle. 5) It is difficult to close the main compartment lid, as there is an overlapping lip that must be manually set into place to allow the zippers to close properly. 6) By carefully placing the provided paddings I was able to insert a Wolfpak double mouthpiece pouch.
Basically this is a very sturdy and impressive looking single trumpet case. But these design flaws, seriously reduce the level of what would otherwise be a very good buy for a trumpet case.
I would recommend this case for someone who does not carry many accessories: mutes, stands, whatever and only needs a single trumpet, without carrying much music.

Who is NCA?
Los Niños de Chapala y Ajijic, A.C. (NCA) is a non-profit, charitable organization, incorporated and registered in 1977 in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. NCA is recognized by the Mexican government (SAT Hacienda) and Instituto Jalisciense de Asistencia Social (IJAS). Our RFC Number is NCA-770930-ME5. NCA submits semi-annual financial reports to IJAS, and also submits all major fundraising activities to IJAS for approval. As of the first of October, 2012, we currently have more than 190 children actively sponsored.
What do we do?
Scholarships for Education. NCA assists qualifying, needy children and young adults in the Lake Chapala area (from Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos to Jocotepec) to achieve their maximum educational potential by supporting the cost of their school tuition fees, books, supplies and special clothing, and where indicated, by providing an income supplement and/or assistance with related medical needs. NCA has helped well in excess of 1000 children over the past thirty-five years. Some beneficiaries of NCA are now practicing lawyers, doctors, accountants, marine biologists and engineers.
Accountability. As a non-profit, NCA is run by its board of directors and employees. We are the go-between between our sponsors, volunteer fundraisers, and families of the students we have sponsored for money donated and raised. We operate with a very low overhead, 95% of money donated to our students go directly to pay for their education related expenses. Only 5% goes to office overhead and staff expenses. Remaining funds for employee wages and office expenses come from our fund-raising activities. We have very strict controls and procedures in place to track all donations and funds raised to ensure that all expenses and funds paid out to our students are accounted for. NCA is one of the few lakeside charities that is recognized by IJAS.
A Community Organization. NCA is a volunteer-based, hands-on organization, supported by several local community fund-raising groups and activities. This local community support enables NCA to guarantee that 95% of all donated sponsorship funds are received directly by the children. Local community support helps pay for the Chapala project office and staff.
Personal Sponsors. NCA's principal individual benefactors (sponsors) are Canadians and Americans living either north of the US / Mexican border or residents of the Lake Chapala area. The children and young adults range from kindergarten to University. Among our graduates is a young lady who is now a Marine Biologist and, most recently, a graduate Doctor!
Group Sponsors. NCA is supported by a number of local and international organizations. These include:
- The Outreach Arm of St. Andrew's Anglican Church
- Lakeside Presbyterian Church
- The International Chili Cook-Off (A local annual event)
- Instituto Jalisciense de Asistencia Social (IJAS – Jalisco government)
- The American Legion
- The DAR
- Your Board Members
How do we work?
Student Evaluation. NCA maintains a Student Support Centre (The Jeanie Swentic Centre for Education) in Chapala. We maintain contact with the local Mexican community and identify families and children who are in need of our services. Profiles are taken, and those who meet our criteria – combining an 8.0 point GPA with low income – are added to our growing list of children seeking sponsors.
Additional Services. Our Chapala office serves as a centre for remedial tuition classes for those students who require extra help. We also provide English classes in association with IDEFT, a Jalisco state organization dedicated to teaching job-enhancing skills to young adults and, and free-of-charge access to the internet for all of our students.
Finding Sponsors. Information about eligible students is made available to all potential sponsors, with but a few waiting to be helped, and some are posted on this website. The children and their situations are featured in local community publications and in the NCA newsletter that we mail or e-mail to our members and potential sponsors. Typically the information NCA provides includes the family social and financial circumstances and the child's profile and school situation. Using this information we determine the recommended sponsorship level to our existing and new sponsors.
Becoming a Sponsor. Anyone interested in sponsoring a student should call to the numbers indicated in the Contact Us page or via e-mail. NCA will provide access to our files containing the pictures and descriptions of the students available for sponsorship. Additionally, on our website you will find a number of the profiles of a few of these students. For non-Lakeside residence, we can FAX or e-mail this information. All donations, large or small are welcome. A US or Canadian dollar goes a long way in Mexico. Cheques should be made payable to Los Niños de Chapala y Ajijic, A.C. and mailed to one of the addresses on our Contact US page.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
GENERIC NAME: ampicillin
BRAND NAME: Omnipen, Polycillin, Principen
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ampicillin belongs to a class of antibiotics called penicillins that are used for treating bacterial infections. Other members of this class include amoxicillin (Amoxil), piperacillin (Pipracil), ticarcillin (Ticar) and several others. These antibiotics all have a similar mechanism of action. They stop bacteria from multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them. The walls are necessary to protect bacteria from their environment and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together. Bacteria cannot survive without a cell wall. Penicillins are most effective when bacteria are actively multiplying and forming cell walls. Ampicillin is effective against many bacteria including H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoea, E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella, streptococci and certain strains of staphylococci. Ampicillin was approved by the FDA in 1963.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Capsules: 250 and 500 mg. Powder oral suspension: 125 and 250 mg/5mL. Powder for injection: 250 mg, 500 mg, 1g, and 2 g.
STORAGE: Capsules and powder should be kept at room temperature between 15 C (59 F) and 30 C (86 F). After mixing the powder with water, it can be used for up to seven days if stored at room temperature or 14 days if refrigerated. It must be shaken before each use and should be kept well-sealed.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Ampicillin is used for treating infections of the middle ear, sinuses, stomach and intestines, bladder, and kidney caused by susceptible bacteria. It also is used for treating uncomplicated gonorrhea, meningitis, endocarditis and other serious infections.
DOSING: The usual oral dose range for most infections is 250 to 500 mg 4 times daily for 7-14 days. When used to treat gonorrhea, a single 3.5 gram dose (seven 500 mg capsules) is administered with probenecid (Benemid). The probenecid slows down the elimination of ampicillin so that ampicillin remains in the body longer. Food in the stomach reduces how much and how quickly ampicillin is absorbed. Therefore, ampicillin should be taken either 1 hour prior to or 2 hours following a meal for maximal absorption; however, for persons who experience nausea or stomach distress after taking ampicillin, it may be taken with meals.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Probenecid (Benemid) causes an increase in the amount of ampicillin in the body. Use of ampicillin with allopurinol (Zyloprim) can increase the incidence of drug-related skin rash.
PREGNANCY: Ampicillin is considered safe during pregnancy.
NURSING MOTHERS: Ampicillin is excreted in breast milk and may cause diarrhea or allergic responses in nursing infants. If ampicillin is used during pregnancy, the potential benefit of ampicillin for the mother should be weighed against the potential risk of side effects in the infant.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Q:The girl who said her bellybutton piercings didnt work out so she is gona get dermals? They are a bother as well. Thats a high movement area and also usually has clothing bothering it. Just keep seeing people mentioning them as if they are a simple piercing with less work or something. Talk to a deent piercing artist. Your first project would be do-able a bit at a time and if not at least he or she will do your dermals right xx
Thanks sweetie!

More confident
• "I think that I am a stronger more confident player after attending this camp. I look forward to using the new skills that I learned while at camp to help my JV High School Team win. I will continue to practice and work hard at the game of basketball. CAMP WAS SO MUCH FUN!"
Loved it
My favorite night was Intensity night. It showed me that I was capable of pushing myself. My hard work paid off. My coach was great and helped me improve different skills.
It makes you push yourself further than you would think basketball and conditioning wise. I also liked the devotions every night that help with your walk with God.
So grateful
This was the first time my son attended this type of camp and he had such a positive experience! I cannot express the gratitude I felt when he gave his feedback. His coach instilled a confidence in him he didn't have when he started.
Great Camp
This is a great camp. It pushes you both mentally and physically. It makes you a better basketball player and helps you to become a better person:)
Highly recommend
I have been extremely pleased with NBC Camps. My boys have attended multiple years and I highly recommend NBC to everyone.
This experience has been incredible. I met great people, and will go back every summer. I learned so much, and had so much fun. I learned things about myself I never knew before. I'm not bragging, but I was really proud of myself. I did more than I thought I could. Thank you and see you next year.
Great Time
I had a great time at this camp. I learned a ton about basketball and shooting, but I learned even more about respect and building character. I really hope I will be able to attend this camp next year.
Ryan F.
Great Experience
I would defintely recommend this camp to anyone who is interested in basketball. It is great for those wanting to improve and learn more. It is a great camp to improve your current skills as well as learn new ones. Thank you for a great experience.
Skills for sport and life
NBC Camp is the best thing that I have ever done! I love how you not only learn the skills you need for your sport, but the skills you need for life as well. NBC Camp is a truly indescribable experience that I will never forget, and look forward to all year!
Briana A.
NBC is a cut above the rest
I recommend this camp to any individual regardless of their skill level. I have played basketball on many levels from local, traveling competitive and high school basketball. I have been to several basketball camps and by far NBC Camps has taught me a lot about physical and mental toughness I have not seen in any other camps.
Improves body, mind, and soul
My son has attended NBC Basketball Camps at Simpson University in Redding, CA., the last two years. He always calls so excited and has nothing but great things to say about the camp and its staff. This year he called home after the much anticipated "intensity night." He always says it's the hardest thing they do, but it is the one thing he looks forward to the most. At the end of the camp when I pick him up he always says he will be coming back next year, and maybe would like to be a coach in the future. It has been the best all around camp he has ever attended. The staff is truly caring about the body, mind and soul. Thank you NBC for providing positive leadership during a time when there is so much negativity in this world.
Gina S.
The energy and new found confidence that our son returned home with is invaluable! He now has the refined skills, plus mental mind to now take on the Big Dogs and have them follow him. Thank you so much for caring for each camper the way your coaches' do, wonderful experience and very well organized.
Excellent experience
This is an excellent experience for young players who want to improve; however, to get the most from the camp, the player must be self motivated or the camp may be too intense.
Lots of fun
The NBC camp was lots of fun and it challenged me to get better. The intensity night was definitely hard but fun at the same time. It was great!
We love NBC
This was my 6th year and 2nd for my brother at NBC Simpson. We have brought as many as 5 additional teammates to one camp. Several of them now come on their own without our pushing. So, obviously we love NBC. Keep up the great program and we will see you again in 2011.
Great experience
We love NBC Camps because they are concerned with the inside of a person as well as the outside. Thanks for a great experience!!
Paul K.
Get your money's worth
NBC Camps changed my life. My outlook on life, let alone basketball has changed. Parents if you send your kids to NBC, you will see that change occur in your child. They start by teaching your child self-discipline, because the coaches don't enjoy disciplining. They understand that your kids are there to play basketball, not to run a million suicides. The coaches provide guidance and are ALWAYS open to talk about anything. They will get up early or stay up late to work on your child's game. Everyone from the coaches to the trainer brings an excellent attitude to every day and drill. There is little downtime so you know your kids are working the whole time and getting your money's worth. This camp is excellent and I really hope that you send your kids to an NBC Camp.

First claymation with long distance weapons! Looks like a bit of a twist o the camcorder option, with a bit of an uneven cutout. You'd think there'd be some form of meter, some kind of aim? Aaanyway, fun sketch as always, and there's a moral too: salad's not good for your health. Oh and don't wave to snipers. Nice work!

"another winner"
Listening to a James Lee Burke novel with Will Patton narrating and Dave Robicheaux as the lead character is like visiting an old friend. You know you are going to have a great time and Creole Belle didn't disappoint. Patton's narration is great and he really brings the characters to life. The story gives you a good feel of what life in southern Louisiana must be like, although without all the crime and seedy characters maybe, but who knows? Burke is great at character development and I love his insights into human beings and life in general. And, Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcell are two characters unlike any others. I'll look forward to the next Burke novel, be it set in Louisiana or Texas. And, when the author decides to hang it up, it'll be a sad day.
"good debut novel"
First time author, debut novel for this author. I'm not sure why I thought this but it seemed this author's books were going to be of the good two shoes kind of books, maybe due to the titles of her books. The summary seemed interesting about two little girls that were taken from their homes in small town Iowa. Whatever i was thinking I was pleasantly surprised as the book was hard hitting right from the start and, yes, there were two little girls at the center of the story but it wasn't about innocence at all, quite the opposite. It was one of those books where you kept thinking about, wanting to get back to it and in the end I just sat down and finished it. One thing that drew me to this author is that she is a graduate of the University of Iowa as am I. I will for sure choose a second book from her.
"another interesting South Afric murder mystery"
This is the 3rd book in the Jade de Jong series that I've listened to. I've enjoyed them all even though I wouldn't call them the greatest crime thrillers ever written. I enjoy learning about life in SA (as South Africans refer to it), I empathize with Private Investigator Jade as she is one tough PI but lonely and needing some love and, finally, the crimes themselves and the investigations are solid. My goal in a book is to be entertained and this series and this book have done that. In this story Jade is pulled into an investigation she initially doesn't want to get involved with as she's still tired from her last one. But she gets sucked in and in her typical style she gets involved, moves forward despite dangers, and gets to the bottom of the crime. Sometimes it is hard to hear the narrator clearly, I think due to the South African English accent. I have to pay close attention in listening and still feel like I miss some but I enjoyed the story in spite of this small lapses. It was a quick listen and one that's easy to get and stay interested in. I hope there are more in the series. I do see the author has some other stories out that I will try.
Up until now my three favorite Greg Iles' books were his first two WW II novels and "Mortal Fear", another early one. Word is the author wants this trilogy his tour de force. At least after this first book of the three, he is on his way to accomplishing that. This book is right there with my three other favorites. This is one of those books that takes off fast and never lets up. You know many deep, dark Old South mysteries are going to be brought up and you know much of it might be ugly. It would have been very, very difficult to live in Natchez for a couple hundred years and other places like it in the south if you were a person of conscience. I found it interesting that much of this book was based on things that happened in the 1960's when I was in junior and senior high school in the midwest. I could have never guessed then that this kind of stuff was going on and my mother was from the south. This is a great book! I can't wait for the next book in the trilogy. Thanks, Greg Iles!!
"different kind of crime/spy thriller"
Even though this is book #5 in the series, this is my second book in the series and second by the author. I enjoyed the first one, "The Bishop", but I wasn't overwhelmed with excitement. So, I chose the book in the series that was highest rated, this one. In the crime/spy action thriller genre the authors must try hard to differentiate their stories from all of the others. This author does it in a different way than most. At the beginning of the book it says the book is recorded by Recorded Book Inspirational so you think there must be some goody two shoes overtones in the story and I'm OK with that. But, for instance, the crimes are heinous and the violence gruesome in this series. Then I don't know that I really understand why the author involves his senior in high school step daughter in the investigation the way he does as in real life I can't believe an FBI agent would or could in any way, shape or form involve a family member the way Tessa gets involved. It almost seems hokey. But, maybe that's where the inspirational part comes into the story as the author uses the daughter and her life events to pontificate somewhat on life and right versus wrong. But this was an easy story to listen to, to stick with. I mostly want to be entertained when I listen to a book and this was definitely entertaining.
"a good story"
First time author for me. One thing I do with every new author I read is to research the background of the author just to get a feel for where they come from. I bought this book without knowing anything about the author, just thinking the plot sounds interesting and I like WWII stories. When I started the book and did the background check I learned the author is an American that married a Brit and settled in Scotland with her family. Further, she first made her name as an author writing books for young adults. My first thought was that this book was being written for young people and might make light of the subject due to that. Then when you figured the two main characters were young women, another double take. But I still liked the plot and kept on with it. I was pleasantly surprised that in spite of my reservations this story stands on its own, my preconceptions were without merit. The author writes a good story. I wondered at times if the British really allowed women to fly planes to France during the war and did they send in female spies and the author herself makes a little diatribe at the end saying there weren't a lot but women did do both of these tasks during the war. I will look forward to her next book.
First time author, born in New Zealand who lives in Australia. A witty, well-written fairly short listen about a geneticist who is nerdy, emotionally stunted who is looking for the perfect woman for a life partner. This book is really entertaining, easily keeps your interest and is engrossing enough to keep at it and finish quickly.
"a good story"
PT Deutermann is a pretty good author. My first book of his was set in Israel where current day people were trying to solve an ancient mystery and it was pretty good. I hadn't heard of this author prior to that and when i started looking at his other works only then did I realize most were World War II stories, specifically the Navy in the Pacific theater. This book is pretty far ranging starting around the time of Guadalcanal and going right up until the time right before the Philippines were liberated. The author has an extensive Navy background so you feel like the descriptions of the battles are about as realistic as one could get, pretty brutal. I'm not much of a boat expert so I didn't know many of the technical terms aboard a ship but that didn't really distract from the story. Throw in some fiction, some romance and you have the makings of a good tale. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will look forward to my next Deutermann.
"good listen"
This is my second Camilla Lackberg book and I can see the improvement over the first one. Her books so far aren't overly suspenseful police procedurals but they are interesting and entertaining. The author has good insight into human nature plus I enjoy the Swedish settings and talk about life in Sweden. Throw in the interesting twists and turn the author put into her stories and it's an entertaining listen. I know I'll listen to the next one as it's about a mother with a Nazi past, the end of this book gives you a lead in plus I looked ahead at the next one.
"very well done"
I had reached a point with David Morrell's books where I couldn't remember if I'd read his books just by looking at the title and sometimes the summary. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this book which appeared to be a stab at a new genre for him. Having lived most of hs adult life in Iowa and New Mexico, it was intriguing that he would try and write a murder mystery set in London in the mid 1800's. He pulled it off quite well and if he continues with the genre I'll give him another try. The painstaking research this effort must have taken to tie a real life character, some 40 year old murders tied into crimes of the time were very well done. This wasn't a crime thriller like many where it becomes a page turner but I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would recommend giving it a try.
"an old friend"
Sometimes you get involved with a series where you know that when a new book comes out in the series that you will buy it and enjoy it. It's like seeing an old friend again, you just look forward to it. This latest book in Ian Rankin's Inspector John Rebus series fits that mold. It was a good story, going back in time when Rebus first became a detective and working on a current day case that ties into the old days. It was well done. I find with the narrator and his Scottish accent, i really have to pay attention all the time. When I pay good attention I get most of what is being said but if my attention wanes at all I start missing stuff. I guess my choice would be to keep the narrator and accent as the story is set in Edinburgh, Scotland after all. I'll look forward to the next one!

I don't know that I believe that. I think he actually started using before the 1992 season. If you look at his 1991 numbers, he was in danger of falling below the .200-mark, and barely managed twenty home runs. LaRussa actually sat him- at his request- in order to avoid the embarrassment of a sub-.200 season.
His 1992 numbers were remarkably better, as he fell one home run short of the league-lead (Juan Gonzalez), in spite of missing almost two months after straining a muscle in his rib-cage in a game at Camden Yards. I actually remember the game. He took an awkward swing, stopped, and immediately walked from the batters' box into the A's clubhouse. Lance Blankenship replaced him and finished the at-bat.
Edit: He didn't miss two months, as the injury happened Friday, August 21, 1992, but I was right about Blankenship replacing him. Here's the

How To Identify And Treat Pruritic Conditions In Athletes
- Volume 18 - Issue 4 - April 2005
- 19036 reads
- 0 comments
What You Should Know About Other Common Causes Of Pruritis
Insect bites and stings can present as pruritic skin conditions in athletes. In most cases, the areas of itching are associated with the location of the insect attack. The athlete will usually give a history of such an episode and one can accordingly take appropriate measures to treat the condition (see "Recognizing And Treating Insect Bites And Stings In Athletes," pg. 84, August 2004 issue).
Systemic allergic reactions resulting in pruritis require a thorough history as identifying the allergen is essential to providing appropriate treatment. Besides being subject to the same food and food-additive allergies that occur in the general population, athletes often use vitamins, food supplements and other performance enhancers that are potential allergens. A thorough history should include specific questions about the use of these and other over-the-counter products. Difficult cases may require allergy testing.
Finally, when attempting to diagnose a difficult case of generalized pruritis and excoriations without a specific history or primary lesion, one must consider the possibility of systemic disease. The prevalence of pruritis in systemic disorders ranges from quite high in renal disease and liver stasis to less frequent in thyroid disease and diabetes. Occult malignancies, especially of the lymphoreticular types and polycythemia vera, and iron deficiency anemia are also associated with pruritis. In addition, one should question athletes about anabolic steroid use. If they have used steroids, one should consider the possibility of liver disease.

Dealing with Western Union
While I am documenting, I feel I have collected enough info on this one too. Yes, you can send money via Western Union. It costs too much I wouldn't do it but it is popular and I got involved in some transfers because "the other person" wanted to use it.
After four tests, my conclusion is that as long as you don't go to the Western Union office itself but, instead, to an agent, you get decent service. Besides being generally hostile in the WU office (in Estelí) they try to play games. For example, they very carefully look over any cash you bring them and reject it if it happens to have a dirt mark on it. Then, they try to give you market up and turn bills for your change or when you are receiving money.
My good experiences have been at Cruz Lorena. They have been friendly and professional. The money they give you looks like money, not used papel higenico.
The one non-problem I had with them was that I handed them a copy of my passport for ID. They didn't like it. But, they were totally happy with my Nicaraguan driver's license. This is particularly amusing because: * It has no address on it * It doesn't have my signature But, if they are happy, I'm happy.
Speaking of ID, when I picket up a package at DHL today, I was asked to write down the number of my ID. I was somewhat surprised as the woman there knows me and never asks. Of course, she just asked me to write down the number--she didn't actually ask to see it. I think you just have to make sure you get all the blanks filled in on the forms.
Western Union takes a big chunk to be sure. Some people expected the fees to drop a little, years back, when Moneygram came to Central America. I cant comment on most parts of Nicaragua, but Moneygram ended up charging, originally (in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras), the exact same commission percentage as did Western Union -- though I have read that they now slightly undercut Western Union. There was again some "hope" when Lloyds was going to initiate their own system in the Americas, but they never followed through then pulled out of several Latin countries. And, again, later when the Elektra electronics stores got into the tranfer business (North America, Mexico and Central America, only), but even that is no deal. I am repeatedly amazed when I meet business people here who use Western Union with some frequency, especially for larger amounts of money. Seems silly to me, since I can have Wells Fargo send $400-4000 to me at the oldest bank in Honduras or Guatemala, for a flat $40 fee. Western Union in Honduras --and like you, I know only when I helped oother people use it-- is a giant nuissance. Out of three tries, the fastest receipt of the actual money was more than 3 days. Last time, they requested 2 additional photo i.d.'s when they said my friend's employee did not look like her passport photo. Well, like most people in Central America, she does not have 3 photo i.d.'s. Since her spouse works for the Police Chief, the matter was cleared up in a few minutes once it went this far, but I am not sure how long it would have taken if she did not "know" someone.
Western Union Comment.
For many years, I have had only one credit card and that one is "American Express" and is good in Nicaragua with "Creditmatico".
When I owe charges for the previous month, I pay the money by Western Union. The cost (no matter how many U$ American that I owe) is U$15 + IGV which = a total of U$17.25.
I check my balance on the internet and I send the money and I am done. If I check my balance due with a telephone call , the call costs and with Western Union, I have proof of payment and no problems.
Many years ago, I gave them my passport for the number and now I don't go because my wife takes the the last receipt with the passport number and I have no problem. I don't even go there. ___________________________________________________________________
Online banking?
Alan, If you do not mind me asking, do you do this because it is the most convenient, or safest, or cheapest way you found -- where you are in Nicaragua? Since you check things online anyway, have considered some form of online banking, if only to pay the AMEX card? Just curious, because if you use the AMEX card monthly, and pay via WU, then that might be close to C3500 per year (if my math skills stil serve).
I depends on how often one uses the CC, and on what one buys, and if it is bought on interest. For many people, using a true internet bank (one which covers for free a few money orders per month, as well as a few ATM withdrawls - no matter where they are) is superior to all other options, but for others, not so. A lot might depend if one can or is willing to have a base-bank in the U.S., Canada, or parts of Europe. If you have good, regular, internet access, you might find that bypassing the local/national bank is best for you, all things considered.
Western Union vs On-line Banking.
#1 -- My money in the USA (Amercia) is not accessible unless I'm there in person or unless I'm dead and one of my daughters can then access the money. In emergencies, I do have an access method. This access method was created by me to protect me from me.
#2 -- I keep enough money in "BanPro" in Nicaragua to last me about a year. I also have certain other monies that are wired to me from the USA (America) on a periodic basis which I also use in Nicaragua.
#3 -- I can not pay on-line with my "BanPro/Nicaraguan" account. I have one idea and this may now be possible. For the last 10 years or so; we only had "Banco Caley Dagnal" on the "Atlantic Coast" and that bank was bought by "BanPro" in April of this year. "BanPro" does have the "Visa +" debit card and I do have the forms; but, I do not yet have the debit card.
#4 -- I can not use the AmEx card in Puerto Cabezas except in the airlines. I personally charge on "La Costena" airline and I pay them when I want. I can widely use the card in Bluefields; but, I don't travel there much anymore. I really don't go anywhere much anymore. I go to Managua every 2 or 3 months and then I use the credit card. Since I pay the balance in full monthly, I only use Western Union about 4 or 5 times a year. I can use Western Union and the amount is credited by AmEx the next business day.
#5 -- The Western Union charge is U$17.25 flat (IGV included) for whatever amount of money I'm sending to AmEx. To finally answer the question -- Western Union is safe and fast and convenient and I don't go -- I send my wife or accountant. I have the receipt -- I forget it. _____________________________________________________________________

Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, Ai Weiwei
"On the surface level, the photo set appears to mock artistic fetishism: Ai looks like he could not possibly give a fuck as he lets the valuable artifact shatter on the ground. There's a sublime disregard in the pictures; it's art against art like Kruger's sentences are ads against ads. But as an artist, Ai can't destroy art, he can only make more. From one urn, he gets three pictures. If I went into the Hirshhorn, grabbed one of the photos off the wall, and let it fall to ground like I didn't give a fuck, I would be arrested and taken to jail. It's only freedom of expression if you break something you own, otherwise it's vandalism."

I really fancied a KTM 990 Adventure 2 years ago to compliment my other bikes, but then l remembered my old Honda 600 transalp. Fine on road, really capable off road, 220 miles to a tank, bullet proof and cheap. So l bought another one, then rode it through all that snow. Chucked it down the road a couple of times at speed but no real damage. I still have it, and even though sometimes l dont ride it for 2 or 3 months it always starts first push of the button. I am shortly off for a tour of Scotland and Norway on it. Still fancy a 990 Adventure but cant justify the extra money over the Transalp.

What have you got against the Super Ten? Your first review was conducted with a total emphasis on speed and an unhealthy respect for the GS1200. And now you've managed to crack the sump, which probably means that some star took the sump guard off before making the bike do stuff it was never meant to do. And, you keep going on about the reliability of the GS when it even let you down twice, and on the second let-down had to be taken to hospital. How much did it cost to fix?

Boy , it's hard to choose in this one . It really gets down to where your riding the thing . Whilst Im no expert , it's common knowledge that these big bore bikes lose out on the dirt .They are just plainly too big to pick up if they're put down . They are in my opinion long distance tourers that cater for the back dirt roads and the occasional track .the KTM leans towards the dirt moreso than the bitumen , and the triumph is more towards the black stuff . And are they pricey ! . When you look at the SV 650 Suzuki or the TDM yamaha (modded) for nearly half the price , that pretty well do what these bikes do , albeit not as well , I'm having difficulty in accepting the extra price of these behemoths to go bush bashing . I've gone bush bashing on my TDM , to scratching it with the hyper bikes the next week end, to touring on the holidays . In that the triumph gets my nod . It can do it all , and that's where these bikes are at in my opinion .And it's the cheapest bike here also . All bikes are brilliant in saying though

I'm in the market for a new adventure bike (my 22-year-old R80GS getting a bit ratty) but I'm not going to be seduced by these ridiculous heavyweights. Over the years, having rented a KLR250, DR350 and XT660 in Turkey, I've come to the conclusion that lighter is better for brown laning.
I won't be buying any of these bikes. I might have a look at the KTM, but it's still heavier than my R80!

Given the choices and budget, I'll stick with the Africa Twin. Bullet proof engine, no fecky electronics or immobiliser, no ABS or traction control, no spangly pretend bash plates and fake dirt bike looks. Does what it says on the tin, good on fuel and never let me down.
I'd probably have enough cash left over to put the fuel in to go round the world too.

There's are nightclubs in Europe that capture the energy of http://www.wowgraphicdesigns.com/take-levitra the dancers from the dancefloor to power the lights, there are all kinds of water energy experiements going on, and we're finally taking wind seriously.
I think the revolving door idea is a great one, but why stop there? The energy of people walking the halls of a building can be captured too. In a major high rise, that's an enormous amount of energy.
I think we're going to buy levitra online uk have to think comprehensively about energy and how it can be -- most importantly -- stored efficiently and used as demand fluctuates.
Storage and balancing loads is one of the big issues with distributed power scenarios, for example. We have to look more carefully at that issue first and then all of these means of capture become quite feasible.

I can only really see 'kinetic energy capturing' devices working in applications where you don't actually require the force you're putting in to do anything (e.g. exercise machines) or just want to remove kinetic energy from a system (e.g. regenerative braking).
