Usfws bald eagle natural history and sensitivity to human activity gas zombies black ops
Bald eagles are a North American species that historically occurred throughout the contiguous United States and Alaska. The largest North American breeding populations are in Alaska and Canada, but there are also significant bald eagle populations in the Great Lakes states, Florida, the Pacific Northwest, the Greater Yellowstone area, and the Chesapeake Bay region.
Adult bald eagles have the dark brown body and distinctive white head and tail. In contrast, juvenile bald eagles have mottled brown and white plumage. They gradually acquire the adult plumage as they mature, which takes about five years. Most bald eagles can breed at 4 or 5 years of age, but many do not start breeding until much older. Bald eagles may live 15 to 25 years in the youtube gas laws wild.
Bald eagles are opportunistic feeders with fish comprising much of their diet. They also eat waterfowl, shorebirds, colonial waterbirds, small mammals, turtles, and carrion (often along roads or at landfills). Because they are visual hunters, eagles typically locate their prey from a conspicuous perch, or soaring flight electricity nightcore, then swoop down and strike.
The life history of bald eagles can be broadly categorized into nesting and non-nesting periods. The nesting period varies by latitude; in the Midwest it begins with courtship and nest building in late January and early February and ends when the young fledge by late July. The non-nesting period is thus from August through mid-January. Nesting Period
Bald eagles generally nest near coastlines, rivers, and large lakes where there is an adequate food supply. They nest in mature or old-growth trees, snags (dead trees), cliffs, and rock promontories. Recently, and with increasing frequency, bald eagles are nesting on artificial structures such as power poles and communication towers. In forested areas, bald eagles often select the tallest trees with limbs strong enough to support a nest that can weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Nest sites typically include at least one perch with a clear view of the water, where they forage. Eagle nests are constructed with large sticks, and may be lined with moss, grass, plant stalks, lichens, seaweed, or sod. Nests are usually about 4-6 feet youtube gas pedal dance in diameter and 3 feet deep, although larger nests exist.
Dates vary (see Table below), but generally egg-laying begins at the end February in the Midwest. Clutch sizes range from one to three eggs. Successful pairs usually raise one or two young, or occasionally three per nest. Eaglets make their first gas and water socialism unsteady flights about 10 to 12 weeks after hatching, and fledge (leave their nests) within a few days after that first flight. The time between egg-laying and fledging is approximately four months. However, young birds usually remain in the vicinity of the nest for several weeks after fledging because they are almost completely dependent on their parents for food until they disperse from the nesting territory approximately 6 weeks later. The entire breeding cycle, from initial activity at a nest through the period of fledgling dependency, is about 6 months.
In the fall, bald eagles begin moving to their wintering grounds, with the greatest numbers migrating in late October and November when prey becomes limited. Wintering bald eagles occur throughout the country but are most abundant in the West and Midwest. An abundant, readily available food supply in conjunction with one or more suitable night roost sites is the primary characteristic of winter habitat. The majority of wintering eagles are found near open water where they feed on fish and waterfowl, often taking the dead, crippled, or otherwise vulnerable animals. Mammalian carrion is an important alternate source of food at some locations. Also, many bald eagles spend a substantial portion of the non-nesting period in terrestrial habitats far from open water, relying on prey that they can easily catch, such as small mammals, or scavenge, such as big game or livestock.
At night, wintering eagles often congregate at communal roost trees, in some cases traveling 32 miles (20 km) or more from feeding areas to a roost site. The same gas in back and chest roost trees are used for several years. Many are in locations that are protected from the wind by vegetation or terrain, providing a more favorable thermal environment. The use of these protected sites helps minimize the energy stress encountered by wintering birds. Communal roosting may also assist eagles in finding food. Sensitivity of Bald Eagles to Human Activity
Sensitivity also varies among individuals within each phase. Some pairs, for example, nest successfully near human activity, while others abandon nest sites in response to activities much farther away. This variability may be related to a number of factors, including visibility of the activity, its duration and noise level, extent of the area affected by the activity, the eagle pair's prior experiences with humans, and tolerance of the individual nesting pair. Despite this variability, the sensitivity of bald eagles can be generally described within each nesting specjalizacja z gastroenterologii phase.
Bald eagles may respond in a variety ways when they are disturbed by human activities. During the nest building period, for example, eagles may inadequately construct or repair their nest, or may abandon the nest, both of which can lead to failed nesting attempts. During the incubation and hatching period, human activities may startle adults or cause them to flush from the nest. Startling can damage eggs or injure young when the adults abruptly leave the nest.
Prolonged absences of adults from their nests can jeopardize eggs or young. Depending on weather conditions, eggs may overheat or cool and fail to hatch. Young nestlings rely on their parents to provide warmth or shade, and may die from gas prices hypothermia or heat stress if adults are forced away from the nest for an extended period of time. Eggs and juveniles are subject to greater predation risk while they are unattended.
The impact that a new human activity has on a pair of nesting eagles depends on whether the eagles can see the activity from their nest and on how tolerant the birds are to human activity, which may be evidenced by the presence of ongoing human activity near the nest. Visibility is a factor because eagles electricity outage chicago are more prone to disturbance when an activity occurs in full view. For this reason, we recommend that people locate activities farther from the nest in areas with open vistas than in areas where the view is shielded by rolling topography, trees, or other screening factors. Also, vegetative buffers should be large enough to protect existing nest trees and provide for alternative or replacement nest trees. The size and shape of effective buffers depends on topography and other characteristics surrounding the nest site. For example, in open areas where there are little or no natural forested buffers, the distance alone will serve as the buffer. Consequently, the buffers in open areas may need to be larger than for areas with denser vegetation or other natural screening.
In addition to the physical features of the electricity questions for class 10 landscape, appropriate buffer size may vary according to the historical tolerances of eagles to human activities in particular localities, and may also depend on the location of the nest in relation to feeding and roosting areas used by the eagles. The continued presence of nesting bald eagles in the vicinity of the existing activities indicates that eagles in that area can tolerate a greater degree of human activity than we expect from eagles in areas that experience fewer human impacts.
Bald eagles are not as sensitive to human disturbance during migration and the winter period as they are during the nesting period. However, wintering bald eagles congregate at specific sites year-after-year for purposes of feeding and sheltering. Bald eagles rely on these established roost sites because of their proximity to sufficient food sources. Permanent landscape changes may eliminate these relied upon areas and force bald eagles to seek out other wintering roost and foraging areas. Depending on the proximity electricity recruitment 2015 of other suitable roost or foraging areas and the condition of the affected eagles, loss of these areas can harm bald eagles. In addition, human activities near or within communal roost sites may—although not physically alter the habitat–prevent eagles from feeding or taking shelter. In either case, the action may violate the Eagle Act and a permit may be needed. If your activities may disturb roosting or foraging eagles, you should contact your local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service eagle biologist for advice and recommendations for how to avoid disturbance or harm and whether a permit is necessary.

Visiting Bali; a recount text
There were so many places to see in Bali that my friend decided to join the tours to see as much as possible. My friend stayed in Kuta on arrival. He spent the first three days swimming and surfing on Kuta beach. He visited some tour agents and selected two tours. The first one was to Singaraja, the second was to Ubud.
On the day of the tour, he was ready. My friend and his group drove on through mountains. Singaraja is a city of about 90 thousands people. It is a busy but quiet town. The street are lined with trees and there are many old Dutch houses. Then they returned very late in the evening to Kuta.
The second tour to Ubud was a very different tour. It was not to see the scenery but to see the art and the craft of the island. The first stop was at Batubulan, a center of stone sculpture. There my friend watched young boys were carving away at big blocks of stone. The next stop was Celuk, a center for silversmiths and goldensmiths. After that he stopped a little while for lunch at Sukawati and on to mass. Mass is a tourist center
My friend ten-day-stay ended very quickly beside his two tour, all his day was spent on the beach. He went sailing or surfboarding every day. He was quiet satisfied.

In a "cuckoo" scheme to steal money, a Brazilian man tried to open a bank account using a fake ID with a photo of Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson's face.
Police arrested Ricardo Sergio Freire de Barros, 41, in the northeastern city of Recife and charged him with using false documents and forgery, according to Brazilian news channel Globo (via Huffington Post).
"The document with the photo of the actor and other false identification were used to start a fictitious company and with it, also open a bank account," said Erivaldo Guerra, the officer leading the investigation.
"That way, he would use the limits on the checks and the credit cards" to steal money.
The suspect, who police said bore no resemblance to Nicholson, 74, was also carrying identification documents belonging to other people. Authorities released a copy of the phony ID, which features a photo of acclaimed actor Jack Nicholson — who has won Oscars for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Terms of Endearment and "As Good as It Gets" — alongside a fingerprint and the signature of "Joao Pedro dos Santos."
The suspect, who denies the charges, was taken to the police station and later sent to a nearby hospital for a mental evaluation.

Somehow I'm think TS want something more casual rather a fantasy or adventure title... Maybe something with comedy aspect and with teenage non/mild-romance relationship where they can laugh and chat together awhile watching it.
That why I'm recommend Ookiku Furikabutte at my first recommendation, basically that are adaptation from baseball manga written by women author, so male-to-male relationship on this title is kinda interesting for a girl to watch it (don't worry its not a BL) and you will get fun together with your sister because the jokes is funny, the baseball game itself fascinating to watch, and maybe you two have a fun discussion about you and another-male relationship whether like shown in that anime too or not, or you can try Hyakko (if your sister age is 12-or so)too, if you two enjoy Minami-ke surely can enjoy this one too.
why not

Those recommend me KissxSis and Koi Kaze.... don't you guys have heart (, -___-), . What if i really didn't know what are they about.... xD
"Liking your own sister is just a fantasy of guys who don't have one" - Arararagi. I loves her as a family member through, but even I realised that i'm a bit overprotective.....
Anyway.... she's 15, quite close to your guess there. Walt Disney recently started to target teens and I seriously hate them with all my guts since all of my favourite childhood cartoons became cash-cows with all those new crappy episodic sequences.
Thank guys the list was quite long, let's see:
1st options: Dennou Coil, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
2nd options: Shion no Ou, Chi's Sweet Home, Angelic Layer, Tweeny Witches,Shounen Onmyouji
3rd options: Kaleido Star, Crest of the Stars, Nodame Cantabile, Moribito
Anyone wanna narrow my list down? Let's just add Bakemonogatari in as well but not sure if harem show could interest girl
You see. I can spend time to watch fairly interesting show, and she probably would not mind if i recommend. But i want something really interesting that both of us can really enjoy (which so far was only Minami-ke and The girl who leapt through time.
PS: Of course Ghibli movies was my first try. Not only it failed to interest her, it failed to interest me too (in my case mostly i felt all of Ghibli ending unsatisfied). btw i would never get close even with a stick to unhappy ending such as "5 cm per second"

Blah my recommendation not even considered
I'm guess you pass it because the baseball eh... But I'm still believe that a perfect title to watch with your sis, ah... I want to have little sister too...
Btw your 1st options already rite, but I'm still have a little doubt about Dennou Coil, maybe its too complex.

About all the siscon thing.... If it has a chance of happen, then well i probably would feel kind of uncomfortable or slightly offensive . But yeah i don't think of her as anything out of a younger sister, so feel free to poke fun about it. In fact if you know me in real life, most of the guys here probably can find some good siscon materials from us since she cling to me quite a bit.
However, i have a switch at how people keeps poking fun at me and my cousin, so never mention cousin incest in my presence
So yeah: Dennou Coil, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Nijuu Mensou no Musume, Hyakko..... one of them would be my next try. Could try Bakemonogatari first since i think it have a high chance of failure. Free to give out more comment

Going on that, your best bet is to start off with the recommendations that have a main character that's either really young or early teens.
I'll take a shot in the dark and recommend Aishiteruze Baby.

Let's see:
Fukatoi Alternative (comedy, some light-romance, story-line may be a bit confusing)
Seitokai no Ichizon (full comedy and slice of life! I think you and your sister will love this)
Great Teacher Onizuka (not sure if it's appropriate or not, it's quite old but has pretty much a majority of the main genres combined, very long too)
~including the Live Action~
Seirei no Moribito (great plot and fighting)
Just a few to throw out there.

Hidamari Sketch has a lot in common with Azumanga Daioh though the artwork is much more stylized since it's by SHAFT/Shinbo.
As for Twelve Kingdoms and/or Claymore, my daughter watched and enjoyed both of those when she was around your sister's age, but she also plays JRPGs and isn't put off by bloodshed. I'd strongly recommend Twelve Kingdoms if you promise me you'll hang tough through the first half-dozen episodes or so until a certain, fairly unusual character appears. It gets progressively more compelling after that.
Glad to see Kemono no Sou-ja Erin hasn't fallen off the list.

And considering her tastes, I'd say Hidamari Sketch and Sketchbook are the best recommendations here. Also seconding Dennou coil. Twelve Kingdoms is amazing, but I'm not sure it will suit her tastes. Still, it might be good to broaden her horizons.
As for something that wasn't recommended yet: how about School Rumble?

Sorry guys, if I show you my long watched, stalled and dropped list, then i guess no one would bother to recommend after looking through it. I will tired myself out looking through also
New list then:
Arakawa Under The Bridge ( have no idea what is it about, i like Shaft through)
Kemono no Souja (look good)
Last Exile (look good too)
Fukatoi Alternative (i like the art and plot -> 1st option, i don't like the original Fukatoi though)
Aishiteruze Baby( the plot is interesting)
Ichigo Mashimaro (really? It's in my "want to watch list" as well -> 1st option)
Seitokai no Ichizon & Great Teacher Onizuka (i watched both... but it feels kind of uncomfortable for me if i sit next to my sisters when they play dirty jokes)
Hidamari Sketch (i really like Hidamari Sketch as well... could be a good recommendation)
Skip Beat (some one please tell me that it's not too much shoujo... then i would put it into 1st option. )
School Rumble (showed her once, she seems to like it for few hours, then completely forgot about it)
The problem of Sketchbook is i can't get through it xD
Now i have quite a long list actually. Any recommendation to cut them down somehow? Like the case with Bakemonogatari
PS: here is the new list

The Grove – ANAHEIM, CA 09/27/2012 (Review by Eric Fliegelman)
Having been a HUGE metal fan, and Accept fan for many years, this being my first time seeing the German Metal legends LIVE filled me with a lot of anticipation and excitement. I arrived at the venue early enough to meet up with the Accept Fans Worldwide group outside of Rolling Thunder, an RV owned by Stephan Soto, the group founder. Peter, Wolf, Stefan, Wolf and Herman all stopped by to visit the fans, and say hi. This pleased all of the members who were there!
We headed inside prior to Accept taking the stage, and host of That Metal Show, Eddie Trunk warmed up the crowd! Accept hit the stage right at 10:30pm and from the beginning notes of Hung Drawn and Quartered from their latest release, Stalingrad…through their closing encore song…Balls to the Wall from their fifth studio album of the same name…Accept had this large New Jersey crowd in the palm of their hands. This was a headlining show where te band had the opportunity to perform a full TWO HOUR set packed with 20 songs from their lengthy career!
This was a high energy show with these rockers who have been together fo decades, performing as if they were still in their teens…full of energy, excitement, and happiness! They followed up Hung Drawn and Quartered with Hellfire, my personal favorite from Stalingrad…and went into Restless and Wild from the album of the same title, the 4th in their recording career. This 20 song concert with songs spanning their lengthy career disappointed no one. This was a crowd filled with fans old and new, and many of whom were there to see the return of Mark Tornillo, former T.T. Quick vocalist.
You could not escape the infectious jubilation that the band had with each other performing on stage, and looking around the crowd, you saw the same. Accept has a way of engaging with their fans in the crowd, that makes you feel like they are performing those songs for YOU, as an individual.
Around 1230am, the band finished their performance with an awesome version of Balls to the Wall, the lights came up, and all in attendance were in agreement that this was one amazing night.
Having been my first Accept concert, I certainly was blown away by their energy, diversity in their set list that spanned their career, the amazing light show and sound, and engagement with the crowd.
I have Accepted the fact, that this will not be my last Accept show.

Nikon Reviews: Best Nikon DSLRs and Mirrorless Cameras
If Nikon is known for anything, it's there DSLRs. The camera giant usually makes pretty big updates every few years or so, the latest big update being the elimination of the anti-alliasing filter on their crop sensor models. While others divert their focus to the mirrorless arena, Nikon continues to offer a wide range of DSLRs. Buying a Nikon DSLR is usually a pretty safe bet.
Nikon DSLRs are designated by the D in their name. Their more basic crop or APS-C sensor cameras in recent years have four digit model names, with the D3000 line suited for beginners and the D5000 and D7000 lines advancing in both price and features from there. Nikon's full frame sensors have three digit names like the D750, but the most advanced pro models have just one number, like the D4. The Nikon Df is a bit of an outlier in both name and style, with a body that pays tribute to film.
A few of Nikon's latest DSLRs have had known issues--but the manufacturer was quick to respond and repair the cameras at no charge, with the D600 experiencing oil buildup on the sensor and the newer D750 being subject to odd lens flares. Cameras purchased after the issue was noted have been repaired already, and consumers who picked up the cameras before then were given a free repair.
Nikon has devoted less attention to their mirrorless models, but they do offer a speed that no other models can really compete with currently. The Nikon 1 V3 hits a whopping 20 fps burst speed. The trade off is that the 1 line uses a 1-inch sensor, smaller than the Micro 4/3 type and APS-C options, but that trade for speed might be worth it for some, like sports photographers that publish their work online and don't need to make big prints.

Post subject: Words from a Real Breatharian
The following is an excerpt from the Giri Bala interview as
recorded in "Autobiography of a Yogi."
Enjoy !!!
"Tell me, Mother, from your own lips -- do you live without
food?" "That is true." She was silent for a few moments; her
next remark showed that she had been struggling with mental
arithmetic. "From the age of twelve years four months down to
my present age of sixty-eight -- a period of over fifty-six
years -- I have not eaten food or taken liquids."
"Are you never tempted to eat?"
"If I felt a craving for food, I would have to eat." Simply
yet regally she stated this axiomatic truth, one known too
well by a world revolving around three meals a day!
"But you do eat something!" My tone held a note of
"Of course!" She smiled in swift understanding.
"Your nourishment derives from the finer energies of the air
and sunlight, and from the cosmic power which recharges your
body through the medulla oblongata."
"I have never had any children; many years ago I became a
widow. I sleep very little, as sleep and waking are the same
to me. I meditate at night, attending to my domestic duties in
the daytime. I slightly feel the change in climate from season
to season. I have never been sick or experienced any disease.
I feel only slight pain when accidentally injured. I have no
bodily excretions. I can control my heart and breathing. I
often see my guru as well as other great souls, in vision."
* * *
"Mother," I asked, "why don't you teach others the method of
living without food?"
My ambitious hopes for the world's starving millions were
nipped in the bud.
"No." She shook her head. "I was strictly commanded by my guru
not to divulge the secret. It is not his wish to tamper with
God's drama of creation. The farmers would not thank me if I
taught many people to live without eating! The luscious fruits
would lie uselessly on the ground. It appears that misery,
starvation, and disease are whips of our karma which
ultimately drive us to seek the true meaning of life."
"Mother," I said slowly, "what is the use of your having been
singled out to live without eating?"
"To prove that man is Spirit." Her face lit with wisdom. "To
demonstrate that by divine advancement he can gradually learn
to live by the Eternal Light and not by food."

Thanks John, very inspirational. I like the idea of it all being so simple. Just total faith, trust and kowing that God's Light nourishes us once we let go of all limitations.

I found this quote interesting, as last week I was doing a meditation in which I perceived my room as if I were in a dream.
Once I transfer to inedia, I expect this dreamlike perception to be permanent. At that point, sleep will be irrelevant, and it is unlikely I will sleep at all. Why would I sleep when my waking state is a dream?

Chef Julius Russell
Private Chef, Executive Chef-KeHE Distributors, TV Host – Big Ten Network
Chef Julius is the owner of A Tale of Two Chefs, Executive Chef for KeHE Distributors and TV Host on the Big Ten Network. In addition, he serves as the consulting chef for several large food companies and is the Culinary Ambassador of the Chilean Consulate & ProChile, he enthusiastically promotes and aids in the distribution of the flavors and wine from the country of Chile. In addition, he places a strong focus on giving back and sharing to several Chicago Organizations.
Chef Julius' Picks for Chicago Restaurant Week
Yes! It's back people and NO I am not talking about the McRib. Chicago Restaurant Week is back!
For those of you that are not familiar with this wonderful event, allow me to share. February 1-10, more than 250 of Chicago's best restaurant come together in a citywide food showcase. The featured menus are prix fixe and start at $22 for lunch and $33/$44 for dinner (not including beverage, tax & gratuity).
To some this may not seem like a big deal, but most of Chicago's best and brightest get in on the fun. This is the most affordable way to see how Chicago has become a world-class dining destination.
There are several "Michelin Star" awarded places participating this year. It's the easiest , affordable "date-night" with incredible food. I have listed a few personal favorites that I consider "can't miss" dining experiences. These are a few places that I try to visit on my nights off and will definitely hit a few during Restaurant Week.
Baume & Brix (New American: the "jars" are a must try)
Bistro Margot (Classic simple French – my year-round spot)
III (3) Forks (I LOVE this steak)
GT Fish & Oyster (Classy, slick & BEAUTIFUL food; unlike any bar you have ever eaten at)
BOKA Restaurant (Michelin Star food and service – a personal favorite)
Mercat A La Planxa (Spanish/Tapas)
Michael Jordan's Steak House (If offered, GET THE BURGER!)
Sable Kitchen & Bar (Contemporary American – Sweet Corn Crème Brulee)
Table Fifty-Two (Upscale Southern Comfort, Hummingbird Cake, Chicken & Waffles)
Tavernita (Spanish/Tapas, but can get a bit loud and clubby)
Nellcote (Ridiculous Pasta)
Piccolo Sogno Restaurant (Wonderful Italian with well priced wine list)
Quay Restaurant & Bar (stop playing and get the gnocchi)
Perennial Virant (Seasonal, local, fresh and beautiful)
The Lobby at The Peninsula Hotel (You will NOT have a better roast chicken)
Topolobombo (High profile Mexican by Rick Bayless)
RPM Italian (New kids on the block doing Italian right)
Oceanique (Fresh Fish Evanston – usually $100+ per person)
Markethouse (Heirloom Squash Risotto...they even let the farmers in the kitchen!)
Also, there are few rules when it comes to dining during restaurant week.
1. Use a reservation service or call ahead. Don't expect an available seat on a walk-in for the higher end places.
2. Start your dining earlier in the week. The server energy is better, the food is executed better and people are excited.
3. Inquire about taking pics of the food during the meal. Some places frown on this.
4. Look to see if your dining destination has additional specials with "social media check-ins" (discounts on wine, dessert, etc)
5. Try new things. This is an opportunity to eat some of the food you see on the cooking competition shows from high profile restaurants. Dine with passion and adventure
6. Lunch is always an easier ticket than dinner
You can see the full list of participating restaurants and reserve your space at EatItUpChicago.com
Enjoy and Happy Eating Chicago!

Chris Mitchell's Bedless Beauty
Chris Mitchell of Peoria, Arizona, is no stranger to nicely restored classic cars and trucks. He has built some of the nicest in the Valley of the Sun. Best of all, he is not afraid to drive them – and drive them hard. In his words, "They are built to run, and I RUN 'em!" That brings this 1972 Chevy Blazer to mind. Built with classic style and stance, he combines that with a heavy lean toward performance, which makes for a ride worthy of an amusement park.
It all began in 2009 when he saw the truck in pieces at his friend's garage. It had been there for over a decade, but had no rust and had been partially disassembled. For Chris, it was a must-have, so he coaxed his friend to take his $6,500 cash for it. That began an 18-month project that coaxed another $33,500 from him to create the black beauty featured here. A true project in every sense because the only things not loaded in the back of it were the frame and body.
Work began as soon as it hit the driveway, completing the disassembly and sending the undercarriage for sandblasting and powdercoating. Although not part of the original plan, he ended up going through the whole truck piece by piece. He ordered glass, bolts, rubber, brackets; just about everything that could be ordered in time for reassembly. The crew at Shorty's Speed Shop in Phoenix (Mike, Alex Sr. and Jr.) all helped with the sometimes-tedious parts of the build. At the same time, the body was sent to "Mondo" of El Camino Customs also in Phoenix, where it was stripped bare and prepped for color.
Like love at first sight, the allure of a tight paintjob, will usually attract a classic guy in like a tractor beam. This truck has pull like the Death Star, with its near flawless paint, shot in PPG Jet Black. The deep base is protected by over 3 gallons of clear. In total, the truck was in paint and body for about eight months. Most of us know that when you see paint that has a seemingly endless amount of reflection, you're a witness to the prep and finish work of the bodyman/painter. Mondo has a 20-plus year rolling history of Arizona rides with that "wet" look, and that couldn't be more evident eyeing the side this Blazer.
A stunning paintjob can take your breath away, but raw power is a heart stopper. When Chris first got the truck back together, it had a blown 454. The truck had plenty of go and show, but it was next to impossible to keep it cool. One of the major factors of this build was the ability to go year-round with A/C, and be a blast to drive. The hot motor, A/C, and blower proved too much for the 454, so on to plan B.
Now, a quick glance under the fiberglass cowl hood triggers two immediate brain impulses. The first being an artful fusion of billet, chrome, and speed metal. The next impulse – HAVING to hear it run! Built by the legendary Chuck's Speed Shop in Phoenix, the motivational speaker is now a 2005 Ram Jet 502 that creates an earth-pounding 502hp at 5,200 rpm. These guys took a GMPP unit, blueprinted and balanced it with forged internals, and threw in a dual-pattern (.527-inch/.544-inch exhaust) lift cam for fun. The results? How does an unleashed 567 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm's sound? Sick? Of course, power means nothing if it's not transmitted to the ground. A Hughes 700-R4 trans followed by a narrowed 9-inch were built to handle any power surge from the driver. A true dual 3-inch exhaust with Hooker headers and Flowmaster 40-series mufflers deliver the sweet sound of American muscle.
The frame and suspension were just as well thought out as any other part of this truck. Up front, it starts with a custom crossmember and 4-inch drop spindles. The rear has a 4-inch spring drop and a C-notch with body tubs all built by Mike at Shorty's Speed. He also fabricated a four-link that cages the 9-inch differential. The wheels and tires are also a key factor in the end result – Chris wisely chose a set of Coys C5s. The front wheels are 20×9 wrapped in 255/35R20 BFG rubber. In the rear, are massive 20×15 deeps sporting Mickey Thompson 29/18R20 meats. Selecting billet wheels for a classic truck can be tricky, but these absolutely fit the bill.
Chris kept the clean factory layout, while upgrading where it made sense. For instance, A Cool Air unit replaced the factory unit for the blazing summers, while Dakota Digital gauges keep track of all engine vital signs, in the factory-style bezel. The bucket seats were done in the definitive black and white houndstooth pattern by Mike at Shorty's Speed Shop. A custom fiberglass console houses a B&M ratchet shifter along with a Clarion head and pre-amp units with the rear boxed and loaded with four MTX 15-inch subs powered by two JL Audio 1,000-watt amps. The Blazer's combination of massive engine and audio system can, and does, literally move you. The finished product is a sound rodstoration that's a real head turner. Chris drives it anytime he can and is not afraid to take the long way home. Can you blame him?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Final Judgment of $415,000 to be Awarded to Disabled Former Employee
PEORIA, Ill. -- A federal court has ordered AutoZone, Inc., a leading auto parts retailer, to reasonably accommodate the disabilities of its retail employees throughout central Illinois, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today. Entering final judgment in a disability discrimination suit brought by the EEOC, the court also held the company liable for $415,000 in damages and lost wages and $9,045 in litigation costs.
On June 3, 2011, a federal jury found that AutoZone violated the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) when it failed to accommodate the disability of a sales manager at its Macomb, Ill. store. At trial, the EEOC presented evidence that the employee was required to perform cleaning tasks that violated his medical restrictions and resulted in an injury and severe physical pain. The sales manager, who worked at the company until 2003, is disabled with permanent back and neck impairments. Under the ADA, a reasonable accommodation may include the elimination or modification of a non-essential job duty, or the transfer of a non-essential job duty to another employee.
In an order dated Nov. 8, 2011, the court granted the EEOC's post-trial request for an injunction, in part, finding that "the conduct of the defendant's managerial employees at the highest level was clearly an intentional violation of the ADA" and that there was a "possibility of future infractions." The injunction applies to all of the company's retail stores within the Central District of Illinois, a federal judicial district encompassing 46 Illinois counties. AutoZone will also be required to report all requests for reasonable accommodations in that region to the EEOC for a period of three years, and to maintain records of the company's responses to such requests for a period of four years.
The court rejected a request by AutoZone to reduce the jury's award of compensatory and punitive damages below the statutory maximum of $300,000. Citing evidence of the sales manager's "near daily pain for 6 months and ... need for physical therapy and other medical attention," the court upheld the jury's award of $100,000 in compensatory damages. The court reduced the jury's punitive damages award from $500,000 to $200,000, in order to bring total damages within the $300,000 statutory cap. The court declined to reduce the award any further, however, noting that it was supported by evidence that the company's managers "knew of but chose to ignore their obligations under the ADA" to accommodate the employee's disability. The court additionally found AutoZone liable for $115,000 in lost wages, and $9,045 in litigation costs incurred by the EEOC.
"Over the past year, the EEOC has filed more than 60 cases nationwide challenging disability discrimination," said EEOC General Counsel P. David Lopez. "This victory demonstrates that the Commission will continue to dismantle barriers to employment for people with disabilities. Employers mustmake decisions based ontheir employee's abilities, and not on their disabilities."
At trial, the government was represented by EEOC Trial Attorneys Justin Mulaire and Aaron DeCamp. The EEOC's district court litigation was supervised by Supervisory Trial Attorney Gregory Gochanour. The trial followed a successful appeal of an earlier summary judgment ruling in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (EEOC v. AutoZone, 630 F.3d 635 (7th Cir. 2010)). On appeal, the government was represented by Attorney Eric A. Harrington and Assistant General Counsel Carolyn L. Wheeler, both of the EEOC's Appellate Services unit.
"The EEOC's primary goal in filing suit is to prevent and deter future violations of the law," said Mulaire. "We hope today's judgment will help ensure that, going forward, employees with disabilities have a fair opportunity to succeed at AutoZone."
John Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney in Chicago, said, "While we are able to resolve most of our litigation through settlement, this case illustrates the EEOC's commitment to litigating cases to judgment when necessary to vindicate the public interest. The objective of every EEOC case, whether large or small, is the same: to make equal employment opportunity the reality in the workplace."
The EEOC filed suit in 2007, after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The case was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Peoria Division, was designated Civil Action No. 07-cv-1154, and was assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge John A. Gorman for all purposes, including trial and entry of judgment.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the agency is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Friday Rock Out - The Incredible Bongo Band's "Let There Be Drums"
We're totally losing our mind with excitement over tomorrow's Canada-U.S. WBC tilt, and this little rocking gem is serving as a nice soundtrack for us as we bounce off the walls like a kid with three packs of Lik-m-Aid in him. Woo!
Incidentally, those from the East Coast may remember this song as the theme from late lamented Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. (Leo Burke! The Great Malumba! The Cuban Assassin! Leapin' Lanny! Killer Karl Krupp! "No Class" Bobby Bass! Coming to the Berwick Arena on Thursday! The Montague Coliseum on Friday! And the Colchester Stadium in Truro on Sunday!)
In fact, we think Matt Stairs should totally be playing this as he steps to the plate this weekend, and not just because he looks like he should be a wrestler in minor territory circa 1982.
Whether if you're headed down to the Dome, or if you plan to watch from home, we hope that this weekend's games warm your cockles and get you psyched for the season to come.
Let there be baseball.

Either that music has some crazy unintended effects, or the picture of the record in the video is slowly changing sizes.
I think I'm gonna go lay down.
As for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, do you remember who the big goofy Acadian was? He was around 7-feet (so they said) and had a cup of coffee with the WWF. I'm drawing ablank, but man he was goofy looking.

It's a good thing I don't post Friday afternoon rock outs....though Greggg Zaun would probably enjoy them.
The class quotient of the blog would drop considerably when I linked to youtube videos of Hanoi Rocks, TFFL era Crue, et al.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a transfusion of specialized white cells
from your transplant donor's blood, called T-cells, that have been grown and immunized
against the CMV virus in the test tube. If the transplant donor is immune to CMV (ie: the
donor has antibody to CMV in the blood), the T-cells will be selected and grown from the
blood of the transplant donor. However, if the transplant donor is not immune to CMV, or if
T-cells from the donor are not readily available, CMV-immune T-cells grown from the blood of
another normal donor who is partially matched to the patients tissue type can be used. The
transplant physician will explain which of these treatments is available to the patient.
This trial is called a phase I trial because phase I trials are designed to test the safety
of different doses of an experimental treatment. We want to find out what effects, good
and/or bad, a dose/doses of these immune T-cells will have on the patient and on the CMV
Specifically, we wish to test CMV immune T-cells grown from your blood using a new method
developed at our center. In this method, fragments of an important CMV protein, called
CMVpp65, are chemically synthesized and then used to immunize T-cells in the test tube.
Inclusion Criteria:
Prior to receiving treatment, some patients may undergo diagnostic and/or other testing of
their tissue, if available, to determine if their CMV infected cells are likely to respond
to treatment with CMV specific T cells. Alternatively, blood samples may be required for
research tests to ascertain that the CMV-specific T-cells do not contain any cells that
could react against the patient. These patients will sign a separate pre-treatment
consent. If it is determined that a patient will qualify for and might benefit from
infusions of CMV CTLs, he/she will go on to sign the standard treatment consent for MSKCC
IRB # 05-065 and be enrolled and treated on trial, if all other eligibility criteria are
- Each patient must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
- The patient must have a clinically documented condition associated with CMV (e.g.
interstitial pneumonia, hepatitis, retinitis) or
- The patient must have microbiological evidence of CMV viremia or tissue invasion as
attested by viral culture, or detection of CMV antigenemia or detection of levels of
CMV DNA in blood or body fluids consistent with CMV infection.
- The patient's CMV infection is clinically progressing or CMV viremia is persistent or
increasing (as evidenced by quantitation of CMV antigenemia or CMV DNA in the blood)
despite two weeks induction therapy with antiviral drugs.
- The patient has developed CMV viremia as attested by viral culture, or detection of
CMV antigenemia or detection of levels of CMV DNA in blood or body fluids while
receiving prophylactic doses of antiviral drugs to prevent CMV infection post
transplant. or
- the patient is unable to sustain treatment with antiviral drugs due to drug
associated toxicities (e.g. myelosuppression [ANC < 1000 ul/ml without GCSF support]
or nephrotoxicity [corrected creatinine clearance < than or equal to 60ml/min/1.73m2
or creatinine >2 mg/dl]).
- Because CMV infections are life-threatening and may involve the lungs, liver,
gastrointestinal tract, hematopoietic and central nervous systems, and antiviral
drugs may also compromise renal and hematopoietic function, dysfunctions of these
organs will not affect eligibility for this protocol.
However, to be eligible, the patients should meet the following clinical criteria:
- They must have a stable blood pressure and circulation, not requiring pressor
- They should have adequate cardiac function as demonstrated by EKG and/or by
echocardiographic evidence.
- They should have a life expectancy, even if they require respirator support, of at
least 3 weeks.
- They are no age restrictions to eligibility for this protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients requiring high doses of glucocorticosteroids (>0.5 mg/kg prednisone or its
equivalent) as treatment for active (grade 2-4) acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD)
or chronic GVHD.
- Patients who are moribund.
- Patients with other conditions not related to CMV infection (e.g. uncontrolled
bacterial sepsis or invasive fungal infection) which are also life-threatening and
which would preclude evaluation of the effects of a T cell infusion.
Donor Eligibility for Donation of Blood Lymphocytes for Generation of
Donor-Derived CMV-Specific T cells:
Adequate health for donation as determined by institutional (related donor) or NMDP
(unrelated donor) guidelines. Normal donors will be evaluated for evidence of prior
sensitization to CMV by CMV serology. They will also be typed for HLA A, B, C and DR. For
allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, the marrow
transplant donor will constitute the donor of choice, since those T-cells will grow and
persist in a patient who has already engrafted with a transplant from that donor. However,
if the HSCT donor is CMV seronegative or not available (e.g. a cord blood transplant or an
unrelated donor who has not already donated T-cells for adoptive therapy), CMV-specific
T-cells generated from a seropositive donor matched for at least 2 HLA alleles shared by
the patient may be used.
Normal donors fulfilling these criteria who consent to donate blood for the generation of
CMV-specific T-cells for adoptive therapeutic purposes will receive a detailed clinical
evaluation, including a medical history, physical examination, and serologic testing for
transmissible diseases within 1 week of donation including hepBs Ag and hepatitis C
antibody, HIV-1 and 2, HTLV-1 and 2, CMV (only if previously negative), VDRL, WNV, and
Chagas An HIV+ donor will be rejected on medical grounds. Donors must have Hgb value > 10
gm/dl and must be capable of undergoing a single 3-6 unit leukapheresis (preferable) or a
single unit of blood for T cells (for pediatric donors, no more than 5 ml/kg at any one
blood draw).
A prospective donor will be informed of the purposes of this study, and its requirements.
If he/she consents, the donor will be requested to provide two blood samples:
i. An initial donation of 25ml blood anticoagulated with heparin or ACD. This blood is
used to establish a B cell line transformed with the B95.8 laboratory strain of EBV. This
EBV+ B cell line/ (EBVBLCL) will be used as an antigen-presenting cell. When loaded with
the pool of CMVpp65 pentadecapeptides, the EBVBLCL efficiently sensitize T cells from the
same donors against CMV as well as EBV.
Because the establishment and testing of an EBV transformed B cell line suitable for use
or as an antigen-presenting cell require 4-5 weeks of in vitro culture, it is important
that this sample be obtained as early as possible for patients at risk for a CMV
infection. Because patients receiving HSCT from unrelated or HLA disparate donors are
particularly at risk for severe CMV infections in the first 2-3 months after transplant,
this blood sample should be obtained from the donor prior to donation of the hematopoietic
progenitor cell transplant whenever possible.
ii. A donation of either a single standard 2 blood volume leukapheresis collected in
standard ACD anticoagulant. If it is impossible to collect a leukapheresis from some of
the donors, a unit of whole blood will be acceptable. However, the AICTF (Adoptive Immune
Cell Therapy Facility manufacturing the clinical grade cell products under GMP conditions
in MSKCC) may only be able to generate a limited number of T cells from a unit of blood.
This blood is required for isolation of the T cells to be sensitized with the pool of
CMVpp65 15-mers loaded on the autologous EBVBLCL, and propagated in vitro. In addition, it
is required to provide autologous feeder cells essential to sustain T-cell growth without
the risk of stimulating the growth of alloreactive T-cells capable of inducing GVHD.
This donation of a leukapheresis or a unit of blood will be obtained from unrelated HSCT
donors at least 2 weeks after their donation of an HSCT, or as soon as possible
In order to limit the number of blood or leukapheresis donations that would be required of
any donor, each donor will be informed of the following potential applications of the
blood cells donated. The white cells contained in one leukapheresis are sufficient to grow
enough T- cells to treat the three conditions below in a transplant patient:
1. The use of cells to generate CMV-specific T-cells for potential use in the treatment
of the patient for whom the donor has provided an HSCT, under MSKCC IRB # 05-065.
2. The use of a fraction of the cells isolated to generate:
1. immune T-cells specific for another virus, such as Epstein-Barr virus, that can
cause lethal lymphomas in transplant recipients, and
2. immune T-cells specific for a protein called WT-1, that is differentially
expressed by malignant blood cells.
Such T-cells could be used, under separate protocols, to treat EBV associated
diseases (IRB 95-024) and/or to treat or prevent leukemia recurrence (07-055) in the
patient receiving the donor's hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant.
3. The donation of the immune T-cells generated from the donor that are not used for or
required by the patient for whom they were originally intended to a bank of immune
cells that will be stored and maintained cryopreserved under GMP conditions in the
Adoptive Immune Cell Therapy Facility at MSKCC, These stored T-cells , may be used
for the treatment of other patients with CMV or EBV infections/malignancies that
express HLA alleles shared by the donor.
In addition to these prospectively accrued donors, we have, since the initiation of this
protocol, generated over 100 CMV-specific T-cells for patients at high risk for infection,
of which far fewer patients have required treatment. Since these patients are now beyond
the period of risk for CMV infection, their donors will be approached with a separate
consent to allow for the use of their T cells in recipients other than the primary
patients for whom they initially donated cells.

How many people interested in ethics here put their ethics where their plate is, Whilst The religious masses have an excuse for eating the flesh of our fellow mammals and other species, What is your excuse!!!! ( unless of course you are already Vegan)...
Views: 1427
You are being ridiculously self-centred. Your typical american arrogance is showing through. If you think those little areas in your wealthy country are an excuse for murder you are a fool. There is a broader world out side your borders. Your entire society is supported by war, throw some of that money at those communities. I am actually worried about people that need to be worried about, not americans. Do you not see the american self-centred mentality displayed in posting a map of just your country?
My point is that no one in america is under threat of starvation due to lack of meat. It is in fact cheaper to get your protein from legumes etc. but in any case I am sure you could by a 20kg bag of rice and feed your del for quite a while. But there are other countries that are in actual starvation situation. they do not drop cows from the sky to these people, they drop rice and grains etc.
So you are telling me in those communities meat is cheaper than beans?
One vegan to another, it's time for me to stop holding your hand and let you figure this out for yourself: shaming the least powerful members of society (and no, we don't have power here, or the assholes who control the place wouldn't be continually destroying everyone's lives) is not going to help. The problem isn't that individuals know what they need to do and are refusing.
Believe me I have worked over 15 jobs, lived in 17 different places and been on high incomes to low incomes. I have been unemployed, A poor student, Also a self financed motorcycle racer. To top it all off I have been a drug addict and a fisherman. I know what of I speak and the evils perpetrated by me and in my name. It is you my friend that has a lot more to learn. I wager you are a young person and as such may feel optimism for society, I feel only contempt as I have witnessed many lifestyles and many socio economic conditions. I accept no excuses from the ignorant once they have the information, Government is just a reflexion of society, sure on some angles you might not like the reflection, but it is what it is. People are mostly generally stupid, maybe with a talent here or there, but at least in the top 5% of society (atheists) I expect more. This is why I expect anyone educated enough to see the falacy of religion and other forms of indoctrination to also see the ethical famine in our own cultures.
My ideals are how most of the third world live until the first world start marketing filthy food to them.
Do you smoke....do you drink.....what type of car do you use. Do you use technology for as long as you can before recycling it. Do you monitor your power consumption in your home. There are many more luxuries that people have and use than the choice of a vegan diet. We cook all our own food and grow what we can in pots as well. I recycle all scraps in a worm farm. You can't just throw your arms in the air and say its all to hard........A rational person takes control of their needs in order of priority, food then shelter. While the irrational just lives a life of mayhem and maddens then eats what ever the hell they can. Food must come first....no last. In the future you will be forced through economics to eat Vegan anyway, If you think 2 billion chinese can eat like americans your crazy, we would need 5 earths for that. I have seen the price of meat go up dramatically and once a carbon tax is introduced world wide meat will reflect more of the true cost it has on the environment....
That is a myth, You can eat for much less if you avoid junk food. what costs money is the transition diets people put them selves on and the non essentials they purchase. Take the winging pessimist who says they have no money for food while puffing on a smoke. Or the person complaining about inadequate health care whilst drinking alcohol. Many people waste half of there money on not only excessive protein, but excessive nutritionally empty calories. You can live on a lot less than you think, It is the dietary indoctrination you must break. My wife and I are far healthier than all of our extended family. It is pure diet and lifestyle choices not genetics in that situation. I learn't how not to live in my twenties and have spent the last decade repairing my body, mind and empathy.
I simply don't agree with you. The natural world has evolved so that some animals eat other animals. We, and our closest cousins, the chimpanzees are natural meat eaters, and my ethics say that as long as you give the animal as merciful a death as possible, there is no harm in eating meatl If you care for the animals humanely, there is nothing wrong with eating eggs or drinking milk. If herbivores in the wild get eaten by carnivores, why do we have to be any different?
Well, vegan means not eating animal products at all, not just meat, and we CAN'T live that way. We have to get vitamin B-12 from somewhere! I have heard that B-12 can be processed from yeast, but then you have to answer whether you consider a fungus to be a plant or an animal, when scientifically it hasn't been classified as either. With those little unicellular things, the answers are not so clear-cut, and yet, to be a consistent vegan, you HAVE to answer an unanswerable question.
I am vegan and I supplement with b12. I think b12 derived from bacteria is a lot more ethical than b12 from a sentient mammal. How can you compare a bacteria to a sentient mammal.It is pretty obvious as a vegan where to draw the line and that is a what is possible. It is possible to produce b12 from bacteria and intact no b12 supplements come from complex animals. It is pretty obvious that bacteria are much more fitting to consume than complex life. The point is that for what reason would you wan't to kill yourself by eating animal products. No good comes from it. You will die a lot earlier and probably live over weight.
Well, interestingly enough, when I got serious about diet last year, and eliminated bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, cereal, corn and peas, and increased my meat and vegetable intake, my cholesterol numbers plunged (last labs: HDL 65, LDL 90, VLDL 15, triglycerides 77, and total cholesterol 170. WAY better than when I was eating high-carb, low-nutrition grains. And I LOST 30 lb. down to BMI 23.7, which is well within the normal weight range. And I'm never ravenously hungry -- only eat small amounts when I AM hungry -- maybe twice a day. So your last sentence is patently false.
This is only a temporary gain, This is created by forcing your body to increase its resting metabolism as it converts protein into energy and because in general your energy sources are low you will metabolise fat. This is well studied and debunked as a poor strategy for weight loss. The atkins diet achieved the same temporary gains, He died at a young age. Using a high protein low carb diet is stupid. Carbs are a source of energy, protein a raw materials source, Relying on the inefficient derivation of energy from protein and fat stores is a silly way to maintain a healthy weight, It may be a method of metabolising fats in the body, but is far from an optimal way of maintaining a body. I personally don't consume many grains as I am not a fan of gluten and its poor digestion. But the key is not to pick on one food source, you need to look at the overall nutrition per calorie of your diet. If you don't count calories and protein intake as well as fats and micronutrients, then you are not applying the science to your diet that you claim to apply to atheism...
What happens when your body runs out of fat reserves? You will either need to up your protein intake and rely on the inefficient derivation of energy from that or up your carbs. I would also point out that protein levels should always be kept below around one gram / kg of body weight as other wise you will just be feeding and cancer you may have in your body. Considering that some cancers have been know to exist for decdes prior to diagnosis this is a concern.

You might remember me writing that Vietnam is one of my favorite countries to visit. And I not only love it for its extraordinary beauty and charming people, but for its delicious food. I never thought I'd find another traveler who is as enthusiastic as me about Vietnam, until I met Charlie Clarke from Calgary, Canada.
Charlie and his partner Wayne recently returned from Friendly Planet Travel's Taste of Vietnam tour and thought it was fantastic. They departed on Sept. 22, and when they returned, Charlie sent me an e-mail detailing every part of the trip he and Wayne particularly loved. From the hotels, to the food, to the tour guides, he explained why it was such as great trip.
One of our Friendly Planet bloggers, Melissa, followed up with Charlie on the phone to get a first-hand account of his experience on the Taste of Vietnam tour. I wanted to hear exactly how Friendly Planet stacked up against his past travels, and what made his trip fantastic. Listen to the podcast if you want to know what the tour is like, start to finish, from a Friendly Planet traveler.
In the podcast, Charlie takes Melissa through Vietnam's largest and most important cities: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Hanoi. In Ho Chi Minh City, Charlie duck-walked through the Cu Chi Tunnels, learned how to make rice paper, ate elephant ear fish, and more.
In Hanoi, his group got the chance to celebrate Vietnam's 1,000 year anniversary on Oct. 1. They also took in a Water Puppet show, an ancient form of Vietnamese entertainment, and more. Charlie was more than impressed with Friendly Planet's tour guides in both cities because as he says, "they give you information that you can't find on Google."
In addition to talking about the tour, Charlie offers advice on what to pack when traveling to Vietnam in September, how to pack lightly, and what to expect in terms of the weather. He also gives you a lesson in Vietnamese culture by sharing some gestures you should use and clothing you should wear to show respect.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot more information in the podcast that's incredibly valuable to anyone wanting to hear first hand what a Friendly Planet Travel tour to Vietnam is really like, directly from a just-returned traveler. All of us at Friendly Planet are grateful to Charlie for sharing his experiences with us, and we look forward to having him with us on tour again very soon!
