what kind of sandwich will go through Airport security?

Going on a plane and want to bring a sandwich,I hear you cant bring peanut butter or jelly unless its less than 3.4 oz,how would you do that?So what kind can you bring and Im guessing no mayo or mustard?This will be going through security because I dont know if they have anything wrapped pass the security check point in Newark airport nj.I have to eat im diabetic.Also how would you wrap it,can it be in a square plastic container?
Answer: I frequently take sandwiches with me. Peanut butter, many times (just don't spread the filling really thick); these are my usual, since they do not need refrigeration Many different types with mayo and some meat/cheese slices, when I anticipate eating it within a few hours. Those are either in a zip lock bag or in a plastic sandwich container. Either is fine. Nuts of various types (in zip lock bags) Crackers, snack items - usually a hand full or two in a zip lock bag. There is nothing that says they need to be in an unopened package - it makes no difference at all. Fruit (apples, grapes, bananas, raisins, oranges sometimes but they are messier to peel and eat) I also travel with: - multiple rolls of glucose tablets in my back pack, and one in a pant's pocket <> - two types of insulin in pen form (sometimes several pens, depending on how long I will be away from home). - bunches of needles for those pens - BG meter, lancing device and spare lancets - alcohol prep pads And I take several paper napkins or sheets of paper towels to serve as napkins. I have never had any security person ask any question about any of those items, Avoid things like pudding or yogurt because of the 100 ml restriction. Avoid anything that is really drippy, messy or smelly - be kind to your fellow passengers. Good luck and pleasant flying.

Am I Going To Be Miserable If I Win?

When Bob Kerrey left the Senate after two terms in 2001 -- mainly, he says now, so he could remarry and start a new family away from politics -- he was considered a statesmanlike and contemplative presence in a city that still valued both qualities. Kerrey had been a serious presidential candidate, a respected voice on health care and intelligence - Matt Bai article examines the reasons behind Bob Kerreys desire to win back the Nebraska Senate seat he left nearly a decade earlier, and the degree to which his brand of centrism will be accepted in an extremely partisan climate.

need help planning and booking a trip to japan?

hi i need some help in planning all of my trip, so lets start i would like to go for about 2 weeks in total at the start of september / october time. I would like to see as much of japan as possible. can anyone give me advise on all or even part of the trip, i would like as much information as possible , ie: flight prices(leaving from scotland preferably), hotel prices, transport cost and just everyday cost( food and such likes) much appreciated in Advance
Answer: 1. Arrange for a passport at the Embassy of your country, or pick up an application form at a US Post Office. 2. Go to a local travel agency and pick up brochures about Japan. 3. Check out the sites that interest you most on the internet.(Many attractions and cities in Japan now have their own websites. (Just type 'Japan' into your browser and check as many of the links as you can. 4. There are lots of types of accommodation from cheap hostels to luxury hotels. Personally, I like to get a unique Japanese experience, so I have stayed in ryokan(Japanese inn), kokumin shokusha, youth hostels, budget hotels, medium luxury hotels, and the homes of my Japanese friends(small, medium and large). It is also possible to stay overnight in a temple(I have not done this yet). It is inexpensive, but you must get up early(3 or 4 am) and pray with the monks. 5.Try to pay for all of your accommodation before your departure from Scotland. 6. Check out the places you have decided to stay at on the internet. Many have websites. Make your reservation before your departure. 7. Purchase an exchange voucher for a JR Railpass at a local authorised travel agency in your hometown. Then, take this voucher to Japan and exchange and activate it there at any Midori No Madoguchi ticket office, which are located in every train station and major airports. Do NOT buy a Suica, N'ex or Suica/N'ex combination pass. Foreigners always lose with these. 8. Exchange enough currency prior to your trip so you will have about 20,000 yen upon arrival in Japan. Do NOT exchange your money at airport exchanges since they are located in high traffic areas and therefore are able to charge high commissions. 9.Check the current rate on http://www.xe.com It is the most up-to-date and accurate converter available. 10.After you have decided where you want to go, use the following URL to show you the different options you have to get there: http://www.hyperdia.com Just type in the origin, destination and preferred time of travel. Uncheck the 'Airline' and check the 'excepts NOZOMI' squares. 11. While planning your trip, allow a full day for travel when going to different cities. That way you won't get caught having to find a place to stow your luggage. There are storage lockers at train stations, but they are quite small and cannot accommodate large North American-size suit- cases. I like to travel with only a medium-size backpack on wheels, and always pack a small, empty, foldable backpack. This way I always breeze through security and never have to spend hours waiting at luggage carousels, either at home or in Japan. 12. A typical meal at McDonalds costs about $8 ~$10 CDN. There are lots of places that sell lunches for about 400 ~ 500 yen; dinners will cost about 850 ~ over 1000 yen, depending on the type of restaurant you choose. Kaiten Zushi are inexpensive. 13.Things to see and do in random order all across Japan: Tokyo: Tsukiji (famous fish market) Meiji Jingu (old shrine) Kaminarimon (old shrine) Asakusa shopping arcade. Tokyo Tower. Ginza shopping district. Sumo wrestling in Ryogukan. Watch a Kabuki theatre play at Kabuki-za in Ginza. Oedo Onsen on Odaiba(hotspring bath and sandbath on manmade island. Kyoto: Gion district{chance to meet real Maiko-san(geisha)} San-Juu-San-Gen-Do(huge collection of wooden painted buddhas) Heian Jingu Kyoto Tower Ginkakuji(very old temple) Kinkakuji On Shikoku Island: Shikoku museum of private houses Dogo Onsen Nikko: Toshogu shrine Nagoya: Nagoya-jo(castle) Nagoya television tower. Nara: Todaiji(huge buddha) Ushiku, Ibaraki Amida Daibutsu(largest buddha in the world, which is entered in the Guinness Book of World Records) Osaka: Osaka-jo(castle) Himeji: Himeiji-jo(castle) Kumamoto: Kumamoto-jo(castle) Near Nagasaki: Huis Ten Bos(huge theme park) Okinawa island(gorgeous beaches and sea) and Shuri-jo(castle)

War of the Worlds book/radio play?

Ive never read the book but i have heard the radio play, and i was wondering if the aliens come back in the original book like they do at the very end of the radio play? Thanks
Answer: No, they don't: "The bacteria that killed off the Martians was a known earthly strain and this, along with the apparent lack of burial rites and their indiscriminate killing seem to indicate that the Martians were unfamiliar with death as we know it on Earth but nothing is certain. The makeup of the Black-Smoke remains a mystery as does the Heat-Ray, an examination of which was discouraged. There is still fear of further Martian attacks, though this is somewhat lessened by evidence to indicate that they may have landed on Venus. Martians being on Earth did have some positive effects. It disrupted the human sense of security that can lead towards wasteful behavior. The traditional, limited views of the heavens were broadened so that now even the thought of men one day expanding to other planets has become more of a possibility. Also, the Martians, less intentionally, brought about many advances in science and did much to unite mankind." but then, they didn't in the radio broadcast, either: "PROF. PIERSON Well, after parting with the artilleryman, I came at last to the Holland Tunnel. I entered that silent tube anxious to know the fate of the great city on the other side of the Hudson. Cautiously I came out of the tunnel and made my way up Canal Street. I reached Fourteenth Street, and there again were black powder and several bodies, and an evil ominous smell from the gratings of the cellars of some of the houses. I wandered up through the Thirties and Forties; I stood alone on Times Square. I caught sight of a lean dog running down Seventh Avenue with a piece of dark brown meat in his jaws, and a pack of starving mongrels at his heels. He made a wide circle around me, as though he feared I might prove a fresh competitor. I walked up Broadway in the direction of that strange powder — past silent shop windows, displaying their mute wares to empty sidewalks — past the Capitol Theatre, silent, dark — past a shooting gallery, where a row of empty guns faced an arrested line of wooden ducks. Near Columbus Circle I noticed models of 1939 motorcars in the showrooms facing empty streets. From over the top of the General Motors Building, I watched a flock of black birds circling in the sky. I hurried on. Suddenly I caught sight of the hood of a Martian machine, standing somewhere in Central Park, gleaming in the late afternoon sun. An insane idea! I rushed recklessly across Columbus Circle and into the Park. I climbed a small hill above the pond at Sixtieth Street and from there I could see, standing in a silent row along the mall, nineteen of those great metal Titans, their cowls empty, their steel arms hanging listlessly by their sides. I looked in vain for the monsters that inhabit those machines. Suddenly, my eyes were attracted to the immense flock of black birds that hovered directly below me. They circled to the ground, and there before my eyes, stark and silent, lay the Martians, with the hungry birds pecking and tearing brown shreds of flesh from their dead bodies. Later when their bodies were examined in the laboratories, it was found that they were killed by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared... slain, after all man's defenses had failed, by the humblest thing that God in His wisdom has put upon this earth. Before the cylinder fell there was a general persuasion that through all the deep of space no life existed beyond the petty surface of our minute sphere. Now we see further. Dim and wonderful is the vision I have conjured up in my mind of life spreading slowly from this little seedbed of the solar system throughout the inanimate vastnesses of sidereal space, but... that's a remote dream. It may be that the destruction of the Martians is only a reprieve. To them, and not to us, is the future ordained perhaps. Strange it now seems to sit in my peaceful study at Princeton writing down this last chapter of the record begun at a deserted farm in Grovers Mill. Strange to watch children... playing in the streets. Strange to see young people strolling on the green, where the new spring grass heals the last black scars of a bruised earth. Strange to watch the sightseers enter the museum where the dissembled parts of a Martian machine are kept on public view. Strange when I recall the time when I first saw it, bright and clean-cut, hard, and silent, under the dawn of that last great day... (MUSIC SWELLS UP AND OUT) ORSON WELLES This is Orson Welles, ladies and gentlemen, out of character to assure you that "The War of The Worlds" has no further significance than as the holiday offering it was intended to be. The Mercury Theatre's own radio version of dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying Boo! Starting now, we couldn't soap all your windows and steal all your garden gates by tomorrow night... so we did the best next thing. We annihilated the world before your very ears, and utterly destroyed the C. B. S. You will be relieved, I hope, to learn that we didn't mean it, and that both institutions are still open for business. So goodbye everybody, and remember please, for the next day or so, the terrible lesson you learned tonight. That grinning, glowing, globular invader of your living room is an inhabitant of the pumpkin patch, and if your doorbell rings and nobody's there, that was no Martian... it's Halloween."

New Year's Eve In Times Square | pulsd

Every year as the clock nears midnight on December 31st, the eyes of the world turn once more to the dazzling lights and bustling energy of Times Square. Anticipation runs high. New Year's Eve at the symbolic center of New York City has ...

How long will a hard drive last for an archive?

I have all of my familys history digitized and cataloged on my hard drive. It is taking about 120gigs and I really do not feel like burning a bunch of DVDs. If I just use an external hard drive, park it, wrap it up in the bag it was shipped in, how long would it last in storage? Robin - Absolutely fascinating and well detailed answer. I would pick yours for best, but think I will wait for other possible responses as you have noted. Some really great stuff there... where do I begin? You are right about Blue Ray, but as I always do with new technology, I will wait for the prices to come down to a reasonable level. Im experimenting with HD videotaping now, so will be watching Blue Ray and DVD HD closely. Yes, I will be storing the hard drive inside my parents safe so it should be a stable environement. Gradually, however, I should back up to DVD-R for redundancy. Awesome - Thanks!
Answer: NEW THOUGHTS --- I have been thinking about how " I " would do this, and the easiest way I can think of is to use bootdisk.com to get a win98se boot disk, and partition the drive using FDISK into two parts - the biggest part would be C:, and a D: just over 1/2 the size of C: ( 2/3rds to 1/3rd roughly... ) This way you could use an older, simpler version of NORTON GHOST - about 2K3, which was given away free with many motherboards, and make your archive on C: in FAT32. Then, using ghost ( General Hardware Oriented System Transfere ) you use ghost ON A FLOPPY, to create a compressed image on D: -- You can then use the floppy, in any computer ( boot from the Ghost floppy ) to get around NTFS problems, and re-magnetize C: a few times by taking the compressed image and placing it on C:. You could do this 5 times in a row to start with.... Then, you could make an image of C: every 10 or 15 years, and re-magnetize C: with the Ghost floppy another 5 times to refresh the magnetic domains on a continual basis... The domains would magnetize EXACTLY in the same place over and over, making them very stable ( compared to writing on a platter that is continually over-written with different data on a frequent basis...) It would be nice to have a harddrive designer comment, but I don't think any would be on this forum... OLDER POSTING ---- ___________________________________________________ WOW... this is a really good question -- one I have not heard asked for about 20 or 30 years ... ! The answer has to do with the saturation of the Magnetic fields on the harddrive's surface, and with magnetic migration, which takes place slowly on all magnetic mediums. Believe it or not, the old 5 1/4 inch big, black floppies had such huge tracks with such huge, crude magnetic fields, that the data written on them in 1980 is readable today - iff the disks were new, properly formatted, and written just once, and read on the SAME machine... Since today's harddrives are a thousand times more dense, and the tracks are closer together, there is a real amount of magnetic migration, where the closely packed NORTH/ SOUTH magnetic regions start to affect each other- not only beside each other on a single ring or track, but on neighbouring tracks. I can't give you an exact figure without looking at the EXACT specifications listed with your EXACT model number.... The other answer above, states to use the Manufacturer's 5 year guarantee, but in your case you are not speaking of MTBF ( Mean time between Failure ) which is used as a basis for a RUNNING harddrive, and hence the guarantee period, since your drive will be packaged away... The information YOU WANT is EXTREMELY TECHNICAL, and may not even be listed on the common spec sheets. In the 1980's when a 10 MEG harddrive ( called a Winchester, since the model number was the same as a Winchester Rifle, by co-incidence) was " the in- thing ", there was a great deal of concern over the reliability and longevity of the medium and concerns of Corporate data intergrity and security -- just like the " NEW and Exciting" CD's that came out years later, and the HUGE controversy over whether or not the data would fade or deteriorate in 5 years or thirty years or 300 years etc.... Even when the 5 1/4 inch black floppy came out, there was a backlash against its use by the " real" floppy users - those who used the " standard, reliable " 8 inch black floppies... I used these 8 inch floppies in older machines such as the TRS 80's from Radio Shack. There are even larger floppies than 8 inch, with a few a couple of feet square.... With each reduction in size, and increase in data density, there always seems to be a flood of criticism that the " new and improved" format will suddenly destroy data randomly... I have yet to see this actually happen. I have hundreds of computers. ( See my website kidbots.com). Many ARE, the 10 MEG winchester type, and have untouched data on them from the 1980's, in perfect condition. Many have been outside in 110 degree heat, and minus 45 degree cold for years in storage. As long as they are slowly brought to room temperature before turning on, they all work. Today's computers have vastly smaller magnetic domains, so that you would think that the integrity of the data would be less stable, however, the magnetic particles and the quality of the magnetic elements used to make the platters, is vastly improved. I would estimate that the 30 years that the "OLD, slow, poor quality" drive data has lasted would be equaled so that regardless of the "guaranteed" data time, you probably would be ok. You really should follow the suggestion above and go to the TECHNICAL SPECS on the drive's web page. If you are serious, CONTACT US on the manufacturer's website and ask for more technical details on the subject. I remember when DOOM sayers perdicted that CD's, once burned, would fail in 3 years -- I have original CD's, burned at the ORIGINAL " ONE " speed, on a $5000 Original burner, on a $30 blank, on a 286, and these CD's read just fine, and it has been a LONG time over the " 3 year limit" -- a quarter of a CENTURY or so... , If you are REALY Serious, I would do a FACTORY ZERO before recording the data, using typically DISK MANAGER ( FUJI ) or MAXBLAST ( Maxtor ) etc. etc. so that the magnetic medium is all aligned to zero, so that the data will be placed in clear domains without previous, partial, imprints. You may even do the Factory Zero about 5 times ( this might take a day or two ) or more... Great question.... I hope a harddrive repair center EXPERT goes on your question and fills in a few obsqure details about newer technologies that I am unaware of... Another suggestion might be to mirror the drive, and re-copy the entire drive image every 10 years or so, to re-magnetize the domains... My own guess, would be that you are probably ok for 25 or 30 years, if the medium is new, Zeroed, and written ONCE. The more steady the storage conditions, the better as well, since freezing and over-heating has negative metallurgical affects on " any " metal, including a harddrive platter.... Hope this gives you few ideas to work with... I am marking your answer on my watch list, since this is interesting... FINALLY, the new BLUE RAY ( just another name for a DVD with a BLUE laser instead of a RED laser, since, in a typical rainbow, the red is on one end ( the LONG, BIG Wavelengths ) and the Blue colour is on the other side of the bands of the rainbow ( the SHORT, Small, wavelengths )... This results in the laser being 10 times smaller, so the holes on the DVD are ten times smaller, so that 10 more data can be burned on the same DVD. OR, instead of roughly 5 GIG, the BLUE RAY can burn 50 GIG on a single disk. These " BLUE RAY"s are out now, and you can check tigerdirect or fry's or any big computer retailer to see what the current price is. Since the first ONE SPEED CD burners were about $2000 ( extra features such as a MEG or two of ram, and other proprietary ISA DRIVE Cards and SOFTWARE would bring you up to 4 or 5 thousand !!! ), the hundreds of dollars for a BLUE RAY is peanuts !! Three disks would store all your data... good luck robin

Our Town Could Be Yours

Around 10 on a clear May morning in 2008, two black helicopters circled over Postville, Iowa, a town of two square miles and fewer than 3,000 residents. Then a line of S.U.V.s drove past Postvilles main street and its worn brick storefronts. More than 10 white buses with darkened windows and the words Homeland Security on their sides were on - Postville, Iowa, was upended in 2008 when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency raid on the Agriprocessors kosher meat factory emptied the town of much of its illegal immigrant population; in the years since, in order to make up for the lack of workers, a variety of different ethnic groups have come and gone to replace the largely Guatemalan illegal work force.

What is the easiest way to make money real fast on runescape?

Im tired of being broke on runescaoe, someone help me out plz?
Answer: Players of any level can easily do the Stronghold of Player Safety between Barbarian Village and Edgeville in the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence, as all of the monsters on the route to the 10,000 coins are all non-aggressive. Upon the completion of the miniquest, players are rewarded with two skill lamps (each lamp is worth 500xp and can be applied to any skill regardless of level), 10,000 coins, Safety gloves and the Safety first emote. It is tricky to navigate through the Stronghold of Player Safety, but the rewards are great. The high level monsters drop large numbers of runes for players who choose to train on them, some high-level ores such as mithril and adamant, and even rune scimitars and rune square shields for rarer drops. (For members, they mainly drop charms, seeds, and herbs.) No food is needed, but a high enough percent of run is recommended. The reward may only be received once per player, however, if a player loses/drops their Safety gloves they can come back to the chest for a new pair. Once completed, the Cockroach soldiers (level 83) drop Rune Scimitar and Rune Sq Shield. They also offer decent training for higher leveled players. If players are brave enough, they can attempt the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Food is recommended for players at all levels and even more for low-level players. ('Note: For players with 10-15 hitpoints, trouts or higher are recommended). One can usually pick up raw trout and salmon from powerfishers near barbarian village on world 1. After players have had their account recovery questions set and proceed through all four levels in the Stronghold, they will be awarded 10,000 coins and either: the Fancy boots or the Fighting boots. (You can only get the money one time and you can swap your boots if you change your mind). The monsters in this dungeon get stronger as players descend from level to level, and are aggressive beginning with the second level. There are some "safe" spots on all levels where players can wait to recover their run energy and eat to restore their hitpoints before they proceed further. Some lower trainable monsters in the security stronghold include zombies and minotaurs. The zombies constantly drop steel arrows, body runes, and gems. The minotaurs drop iron arrows which can add up in time. There have been reports that the random event occurrences tend to be increased in the stronghold, so training for a long time will increase your chances of getting gems and other random event items. Players may bank all items and just sprint through each level to get the rewards easily. Like the Stronghold of Player Safety, the reward may only be received once per player. Once completed, the Flesh Crawlers often drop higher leveled herbs, which can be gathered, & sold for a tidy sum. Another way which you can make money is by mining clay and/or making soft clay.The best place to mine clay is in Varrock west. Take nothing but your pickaxe and mine 28 clay (per trip) deposit them in your bank and go for more. When you have clay you can now soften it pack by pack or bank and soften larger amounts at a time to make the more sought after soft clay. To do so you will need to use a bowl of water or another water filled container on the normal clay. Buying 28 bowls and filling them at once at the Varrock fountain would be the fastest method as then you can soften 14 clay at a time without banking and 28 at a time without running to refill bowls. For members who do not mind spending money to gain money, buying a bracelet of clay will highly speed up the process. Each bracelet has the charges to mine 28 Soft clay rather than Clay which avoid the above mentioned step completely. Bracelets of Clay are made using common saphire gems so often times crafters and/or mages sell them much cheaper than cost to gain their own levels without the desire to mine the clay. On November 7, 2008, a bracelet of clay was 606 gp each, clay was 98 gp each, and soft clay was 166 gp each. An easy method to earn money is by gathering Snape grass. Just west of the Crafting Guild is a small peninsula, Hobgoblin Peninsula, that has a small collection of hobgoblins and a snape grass respawn point. The closest bank is the eastern Falador bank. Start there with an empty inventory and armor if needed. Make your way to the peninsula and collect a full inventory of snape grass. Make your way back to the bank and repeat this process until satisfied. Once you have had enough, the snape grass can be sold in the Grand Exchange for 328 coins each. If you cannot survive an attack from a Hobgoblin, this method is not recommended. If you are a member and choose this method, there are two things you should know. If you have the Agility level of 26 or higher, there is a short cut in the Falador wall just south of the gem shop. This means that the closest bank is now the western Falador bank. If you have the ability to summon a beast of burden (Level 22 Summoning - Spirit kalphite, Level 40 - Bull ant, Level 52 - Spirit terrorbird, Level 67 - War tortoise, Level 96 - Pack yak), you can bring them along to help by adding more inventory slots. Alternatively, members who have completed lunar diplomacy and have at least 72 magic can teleport to Waterbirth, collect the snape grass, then teleport to moonclan to bank. one disadvantage to this method, however, is that astral runes take a bit of time buying on GE. These eggs can be found in the sewers of Varrock. There are 2 spawn points for them and they respawn about every 40 seconds (faster on busy worlds). They sell for 380gp each on the G.E. which is fast cash if you need some easy money. One trip with a full inventory can bank you a little more than 10k! Beware of the many level 34 spiders though, they'll try to pile you if you're not careful. After making a few trips, you'll figure out just how much food is necessary for survival but runs out just in time for a full inventory of eggs. A minimum Combat level of 50 is recommended. If you don't know where the sewers are at, the entrance is just east of the Varrock Palace and Just north of the east bank. It is marked on your map with a Red Exclamation (!) Mark. The spiders are towards the end of the sewers by the Moss Giants. The eggs are on the south wall on the ground. *Note: the spiders do NOT drop the eggs. Also, with 10 summoning, you can summon a spirit spider. Buy the pouches and egg spawn scrolls off the grand exchange. The egg spawn scrolls spawn 0-3 red spiders' eggs. The spiders last 14 minutes. Each pouch costs the same as one egg, and each scroll costs 1/10 of the price of an egg. Remember that you get up to 3 eggs per scroll, so you can't lose money doing it! Collecting planks can be profitable given time and patience. They spawn in the Graveyard of Shadows and can be sold for 200 each. A full inventory makes almost 6k. It is recommended that you have a high level however, as there are zombies in the grave that will swarm you. Conveniently, the Bounty Hunter bank is only a short walk away. Members can make tuna potatoes, which sell at the GE for 1,696 coins. The ingredients, sweetcorn for 261 GP, baked potato with butter for 705 GP (or baked potato for 166 GP and a pat of butter for 488 GP) and cooked tuna for 111 GP can be bought for a total of 1,077 GP (or 1,026 GP if the pat of butter and baked potato are bought separate). This means a 619 GP (or 670 GP) profit per tuna potato without leaving the Grand Exchange! You can make money and xp by upgrading pizzas. One of the easiest ways to make money is to go to the Grand Exchange and purchase plain pizzas and anchovies. Add the anchovies to the plain pizzas and then sell them for a profit. Anchovies cost about 169 GP, and plain pizzas cost about 255 GP. Anchovy pizzas sell for about 578 GP. This means that for each anchovy pizza you sell, you make about 154 GP depending on flucuation. 154 GP may not seem like much, but you can add anchovies to 14 plain pizzas in about 30 seconds, for a profit of 4,312 per minute. This works out to about 258,720 GP per hour. You also get 39 cooking XP for each pizza you upgrade for about 65,520 cooking XP per hour. Players can mine Iron ore. It sells for around 96 coins each, and is very quick to mine. The mines south-west and south-east of Varrock as well as the Dwarven mines are popular for free players, whilst members can mine iron ore in the mine north of Yanille or the mine east of Ardougne, which are both closer to banks than the F2P mines. Members can mine pure essence, which sell for around 161 coins each. Pure essence is mined very quickly - taking less than a minute to fill a player's inventory - and it only requires one click to do so. Aubury in Varrock is the closest person to a bank for players under 66 Magic, whilst Wizard Distentor in the Magic Guild is the closest person to a bank for players with 66 magic or higher. If a player has a mid-level agility level (~50), and is using Aubury, they can make ~150k an hour. If player has got 66 magic he/she can make ~200k in an hour. Mining runite ore in deep Wilderness (beware of revenants) or at the Heroes' Guild makes a profit of about 18,900 coins per ore. However, since runite takes a long time to spawn (about 12-20 minutes depending on world population), world switching is recommended.

Time Square for New Years Eve?

I am thinking about going up to NYC for NYE but I have never been and was wondering if anyone who had been had some advice. I live in DC so I am considering taking Amtrack or Greyhound instead of driving. Any lodging ideas or tips of how to make things easier would appreciated. Thanks!
Answer: Hi-- I would definitely take the train or the Bus parking is a mess and expensive. There are some new discount bus services between DC and NYC like Megabus and Bolt Bus-- see links below. Hotels will likely be very full by now, but I know that New York Guest still have a few rooms left at good rates. They work with a bunch of hotels in the city. I have a friend, Kelly, that works there. They can also help you with parties and stuff. Keep in mind if you are thinking to go to Times Square, you will need to be in the square by 1pm or so to claim your spot. Once you claim your spot-- that's it. No moving until 12:30 when everyone is leaving. Not to get a drink, not to go to the bathroom. Security is tight, no back packs or large bags. Word of advice: adult diapers. Seriously! That's how people get around the whole no- bathroom thing. Times Square is for serious die-hards. There are a few restaurants that are roping private areas off in view of the ball that you can go out and see the ball drop and then go back in. Prices start around $120 and usually include open bar and some food. You'd have to be 21 for that. Again, I think New York Guest can help you with some answers there on exactly where to go. Good luck and happy new year!

Where can i find free and temporary anti virus / anti spyware software online?

Am paranoid because my Norton trial has ended and i need to wait for my next paycheck to actually go buy the proper pack. Also, if you dont mind Which Norton pack do you recommend i buy? I think they have three and i know nothing about IT, so whichever is most effective for a person with limited knowledge of all the techie stuff. Thanks.
Answer: Why only on a temporary basis? Most home computer users, have 100 % free A-V and A-S solutions and have as good if not better protection then Norton provides! And without Norton's infamous "bloat" to slow ones computer down! Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best. --------------------------------------- 1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V...You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus) For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free! Download here: http://www.free-av.com/ Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates. -------------------------------- 2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use 2) Pick and choose, 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect. Spybot Search and Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html Ewido (now known as AVG Anti-spyware) Do NOT download AVG Anti-virus.: http://ewido.com AdAware 2007 http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ A-Squared: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ SUPERAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/ Windows Defender: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm ----------------------------------------- 3. And to help protect (immunise) your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place ............ (use them both SpywareBlaster: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html SiteAdvisor: http://www.siteadvisor.com/ ----------------------------------- But before you add any new anti-virus program (temporary or not), you must totally uninstall and remove your old Norton, even if it is expired. The use of 2 or more anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a major computer slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more. Norton can be notoriously difficult to totally remove. One of it's many short-comings. You may need to download and run the Norton Removal Tool from the Norton / Symantec website. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039 So, don't go wasting that next paycheck! Good luck.

Answer: The Westin Hotel. 43rd and 7th. I went the hotel this summer for the first time and this hotel was amazing. We were upgraded to the 43rd floor upon our arrival. The staff is extremely nice and they work with you really well. They have hotel security so it is really safe and quiet. We were able to get a great deal, so I would call them and see what the deals are for the time that you will be there. It is 1 block west of Times Square. It is the best location in New York. When we got there, we ate at Hard Rock Cafe because it is in Times Square, only a block away and then we went to Madame Toussauds Wax Museum across the street. The next day, we went on the NBC Studio Tour(SNL, Fantasy Football, etc.) at 9am and that was a great tour. Then we walked down 5th Ave. to the Empire State. If you do go here, get the express tickets for both floors; you save 2+ hours here. Then we ate down there and walked back up for the Radio City State Door Tour. Following that, we walked to the hotel and got changed for the play. We ate pizza at Famaglia's. That is where stars hep make pizza when they come. Following dinner, we went to Wicked!! Wicked is awesome. I recommend you go. The third day, we took the Subway down to TriBeCa and ate breakfast at a cute place, Kitchenette. Great food! Then we walked around all the courthouses and made our way up to Chinatown. Do not go to Chinatown. It is dirty and gross. It was the only bad thing about the trip. After the 5 minute in Chinatown, we walked a few blocks to SoHo and did some shopping. We then took the Subway up for lunch and some rest. We ate dinner at Planet Hollywood and decided to go see Mary Poppins across the street from the hotel. The 4th day, we got up early and took the Subway down to the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island ferry. Following that, we went to the Tribute WTC center and looked at the museum and got a guided tour from Gulianni's assistant; he was great. Then we went to Century 21 dept. store, which was okay, I guess. Be prepared to wait. Then we took the subway up for Macy's dinner. The 5th day, we walked up to the Museum of Natural History to see the brain exhibit. After that, we took a taxi(the only time out of the whole trip we did...don't take them, walk...it is the most walkable city) thru Central Park(don't waste your time in Central Park) to Sprinkles Cupcakes. Then we walked down 5th Ave. until 43rd Street and cut back to the hotel. Following that we went to dinner at Chef Yu(amazing Chinese food...right by Macy's...no need for Chinatown). After dinner, we rode the Subway around(because it was fun!) to TriBeCa and what not. That night, at 10pm we went to Top of the Rock and it was great. Go there at night. The following morning before we left, we rode the Subway down to Wall St. and walked around with the workers. Unfortunately, you probably won't want to do that b/c of the horrible protesting going on. Then we packed up and checked out! My suggestions would be to get a MetroCard and take the Subway for going uptown or downtown. Or walk. Don't waste money or time on a taxi. Also, don't go to ChinaTown or Central Park. Make a schedule before you go, so you have an idea of what you want. I had this all planned months before and we stayed right on time. The day we went to TriBeCa and SoHo, we were back to Times Square by 1. So start your day early.

do Marine recruits get free stuff in bootcamp?

do Marine recruits get free boots, shirts, shorts, underwears, and other stuff. i mean, do they get free stuff so that all recruits will look the same. and what should a Marine recruit bring to bootcamp? including clothes?
Answer: Wear clothing you don't care about, carry only ID, your social security card, and about $20 in cash in your wallet (plus some for the trip, if you have to travel), and wear your running shoes. Buy the shoes a week or two before you leave, and make sure you run in them a few times, so they're broken in. Other than that, you will be hollered at if you bring anything else. All personal belongings will be packed away, you'll get your haircut, and then will be issued your uniforms and PT clothing, including underwear. The cost of the uniforms will be deducted from your accumulated pay about a week before you leave boot camp, but you'll receive a substantial uniform allowance to pay for most or all of it. Thereafter, annually, you'll receive a smaller uniform allowence to keep your uniforms squared away. For any more questions you have about boot, go to http://www.marineparents.com It's the best online resource there is, for anything and everything USMC. Check out the Recruits Message Boards, and meet some of the folks there, who know more about Marine Corps Boot camp than anybody else on the planet who hasn't been through it! (And some of them HAVE been through it!)

Travel tips for backpacking through Europe for the first time?

Traveling through Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. two weeks. and using Eurorail and possibly renting a car for some of the trip through Switzerland. Any ideas on traveltips, what to do, what not to do, where to go, what we have to see, what we dont have to see.
Answer: 1 Decide where you want to go. Read a lot of books, watch the Travel Channel and talk those who backpacked through Europe before. See what fires your curiosity. Buy a backpacking travel guide. "Let's Go," "Rough Guide" and "Lonely Planet" are all popular book series. Understand that all plans are tentative. The very nature of backpacking requires spontaneous flexibility (see Resources below). 2 Pack smart. Buy a backpack no larger than 45 linear inches. This is the maximum size allowed for an airline carry-on. Do not check luggage. You must carry everything while backpacking through Europe. If it does not fit in your backpack, don't bring it. The heavier your bag, the more miserable you will be when it is on your back. trust me 3 Take two changes of clothing in neutral colors so everything goes with everything else. Every night, wash clothes in your hostel sink. Choose easy-care fabrics that dry fast. You may look the same in all your pictures, but it beats carrying around a bag full of dirty clothes. If something wears out, buy a replacement in Europe. Leave jewelry at home and get a cheap digital watch with an alarm. 4 Get your paperwork in order. You must have a valid passport, but most countries in Europe do not require visas for Americans. Shop around for cheap airfare to a gateway city, then take the train everywhere else. This is the best way to experience Europe. Buy a Eurail Pass, which provides unlimited train travel. You must get it before arriving in Europe through their website or a travel agent (see Resources below). Your ATM card and credit cards will work in Europe. 5 Stay in hostels and inexpensive hotels. Most are safe, clean and reasonably priced. They are common in Europe, and are always near public transportation. Follow recommendations from your guide book and fellow travelers. Hostels are the best places to meet other travelers and make friends (see Resources below). 6 Eat on the go. Food is expensive in Europe. Avoid restaurants and eat at take-away places. They serve much nicer cuisine than American fast food. Better yet, go to specialty shops and buy fresh bread, meat, cheese and fruit, then have a picnic. 7 Skip the expensive sites. Backpacking through Europe is about the journey. Wandering around a town square or marketplace is a cultural experience in itself. You can spend a bunch of Euros to enter a museum and not remember anything you see there. Pick a few "must see" sites like the Louvre or Vatican Museum. Skip the other stuff and walk around instead. Use bag check places and lockers to store your pack while you stroll around. 8 Stay safe. Europe is relatively safe, but tourist are still targeted for crime. These are usually crimes of opportunity. Secure your valuables in a security wallet beneath your clothing, travel in groups and don't walk around remote areas at night. Bring a lock. Most hostels provide lockers to secure your stuff. Watch your pack, and don't make yourself an inviting target. 9 Limit your souvenirs to photographs and journal entries. They are free and will be what you treasure most when you reflect on your backpack journey through Europe years later. Buying stuff fills up your backpack and weighs you down. If you must buy something, mail it home. Must sees Also When in Italy you should go to Venice and take a gondola ride, go to Sicily as well. In France go to the Eiffel tower and try a wine and cheese tasting. Germany go to Auschwitz. Switzerland you must go to the Geneva city tour. and lastly Austria go to Vienna. Google translate these terms in each language you will be happy you did this. Wheres the Bathroom? Where is...?

Christmas and New Years in New York City?

Im planning a trip to New York City on December 25th through January 1st. Is this a great time to visit the city? What are some things to do or to avoid during this time? This will be my first time in NYC too so I may do a lot of the "touristy" things. Thanks!
Answer: Crime is a bit higher, It will be COLD, not so much December 25th, but New years??? Oh yeah, COLD. New Years Times Square is highly overrated... unless you have hotel reservation right there where you can see the celebration from their lobby or something. The way times square is, the cameras can see everyone, but the angle makes it almost impossible to see the ball drop from the middle of the street. I have done this twice, and it was a nightmare. A)If watching it in the street, you have to walk for miles around and around because the police randomly open and close checkpoints to get in sending people all over the place hoping most wont ever figure it out and miss the celebration (you really habe to know the streets and subway entrances etc) B) Excessive security, I remember being forced to remove my coats and sweaters about 4 times, in the freezing cold, for "security reasons" C) Packed so tight I thought that my bones were going to break, until the barricades accidentally collapsed, and then of course, being search all over again D) Once you are in the "barricades" you cannot leave, not even to go to the bathroom, the police will not unlock you unless they believe it is a medical emergency, not even if you are freezing, and all sidewalks are closed of, so no place to get a hot chocolate., Even towards the back of the barricade that you are assigned to, if its relatively empty and near an intersection, if you change youre mind, the police cannot even let you leave to just go to the subway. E)You can be trapped there for 4 to 5 hours in the barricade F) Both times were some of the most horrifying and horrible experiences I ever head (I only wen't twice because I thought the first was just a coincidence, but Ive herd from many who experience this and never go again) G) Once its "over" the police immediately make everyone leave, I mean in seconds, with the threat of arrests and stuff, I mean, you have to almost run to the subway (But then again, living in the Bronx, where police vans and sirens go off at 6pm sharp at our beaches, patrols walk the sand and police boat cruisers go up to anyone in the water, and arrest fill the vans daily with anyone who isn't out of the water and immediately walking away to the bus... Yes this is daily) There are pretty things to see but the weather is awful at that time If you want to see new York City, Come in Late Spring or early fall for the weather, or Summer for all the activities. There are millions of things in the summer, here, free concerts on the piers, people swimming in the fountains, random street performance, less crime (because you cant as easily hide your identity when its hot) ;) Movies in the parks, city tours in central park, etc, the amount of free and / or awesome stuff to see and do here in the summer will overwhelm any tourist, and just wont be time to do nearly 10% of those things. Late Spring or Early Summer all the way. Spend New Years elsewhere my opinion. (I live here, and theres many reasons that December nd January are not really tourist season here, there over marketed this time of year because of desperate business. My best new Years ever was Nashville, TN, not unberably cold, still some snow and wintry feel. Id say if your looking for that, stay in Tennessee or North Carolina. New York is NOT the place. Personal opinion. FULL Disclosure: Born and raised in the tropics, which influences me slightly BUT I've been in NY for 8 years though, so its not like I haven't "adjusted"either. Wouldn't go too far south because, Florida and most of South Carolina, South Georgia, doesn't have the right feel, it cold, but the trees are green, and/or palm trees.... No, Id try Nashville, TN, or Asheville, NC area etc. To directly answer the question if you INSIST on still coming to NYC... :p Reserve Times Square Hotel Room with a view of New Years Celebration, Check for parades, AND see the Christmas lights in Dyker Heights Brooklyn. This neighborhood goes all out, homes are fully decorated with HUGE moving mannequins, Santa statues, fake carolers, trees massive reindeer, Its like Disney worls of holiday light decorations, and draws people from allover the city to see, mostly locals, but there are ALOT of homes. Get some hot chowder and seafood at City Island Bronx (Our little "new england") an island FULL of seafood restaurants that are fantastic. Rockefeller Center, the BIG TREE, and Ice skating (Ice skating also in central park fun) OH, and don't forget to watch the Channel 11 "Yule LOG" :p A New York City tradition for like decades I think. The morning on the Dec 25th, Channel 11 plays holiday music all morning, and shows a fireplace on the screen (I guess for those of us that dont have a traditional fireplace and the burning log inside) This is a VERY" NEw York tradition. Everyone watches the Channel 11 "Yule Log" that holiday morning. :) ************Oh, a MUST, see the Bronx Botanical Gardens! Why? They have this tropical greenhouse, huge. When you enter, there is water around and a huge real palm tree right there, its all misty and you feel just like your in the tropics, the green house is huge and a couple stories high, stairs and everything, very roomy. You feel like youre in a jungle, and it is filled with tropical plants and the sound of water... paradise :) ) (The irony, is you can get glimpses here and there of the snow outside, or just sit below the palm tree by the fountain and read or concentrate, very unique tropical paradise in winter :) So... there is SOME stuf to do, focus

How do I make a new account on a Final Fantasy 11 copy that has already had an account made on it?

I have 2 copys of Final Fantasy 11. One is mine, and one was my brothers, which I was going to ship to a friend who wanted to start playing, because my brother doesnt play it anymore. How would my friend be able to make a new account on my brothers old copy?
Answer: I can take your request in two ways and I'm not sure the one you mean. At first I thought you meant you wanted to let your friend use your Brother's Play Online account. Now, I'm reading it as you want to share the physical copy (DVD) of Final Fantasy XI. These are both possible but also have their own unique issues. Let me review some of the basics and terms used by Play Online and Square Enix. I think you'll see the issues. 1) The client code, which runs on the PC, PS2, and XBox 360, really can come from anywhere. When you buy a copy of FFXI (other than the PS2 version hard drive) that is valuable is the registration code. 2) Play Online and Square Enix use registration codes to validate you or someone paid for access to the product. Now, this is the important point when coming to what you want to do. If you want your friend to use your Brother's account then he won't have to worry able registration codes. On the other hand if you are only sharing the install DVD and he has to have his own unique Play Online account, then he'll have to purchase (or otherwise obtain the necessary registration codes). Decision Point: At this point we'll need to know if you're handing over just the code or your Brother's account. NOTE: If you are turning over your Brother's account, you'll also need to decided how you want to handing the billing. After all someone has to pay for the various items an account can bill during the month, such as Content IDs, security tokens, and new expansion packages. 3) What are Content IDs? A Content ID is how Play Online / Square Enix keeps track of a character for play and billing purposes. NOTE: This is an important point. While each character requires a Content ID, a Content ID does NOT require a character. Basically, what this means is you can delete a character but Play Online / Square Enix will continue to bill you until you remove the Content ID. Remember characters require a Content ID, but a Content ID doesn't require a character. This makes sharing one Content ID with more than on character during a month possible. Why do this? You might want to try out different character combinations deciding on the one you want to keep. This allows you to pay for one Content ID during the month, but try out more than one character Billing note: Play Online / Square Enix bills based upon the Content ID you have active. Even if the Content ID is NOT in use you will pay for it. The first Content ID is $12.95 and each one after that is $1.00 per month. You can have a maximum of 16 Content ID for a total monthly charge of $12.95 + $15.00 ($1.00 times 15 additional Content IDs). You can bill other things to your account, such as expansion packs, security tokens, etc. Back to your decision, how you proceed and what your friend will need depends upon your decision on what you mean in question. If you're sharing the code only, your friend will need to buy his own registration codes and create his own account. He can do this by going to the Play Online website and purchasing the registration codes. There are bundles available, so he can get a discount and not buy each one individually. If on the other hand you're sharing the code and your brother's account, you'll need to: 1) Figure out about the billing between the two of you. 2) If he's going to have his own characters, he'll need to create his one Content ID or IDs (mules are important). On the other hand you might also let him use your Brother's character, in this case. 3) NOTE: As long as you know and keep private the Play Online registration code, you can control the account by calling the Play Online support center. In order to regain control you'll need either to go through a long process validating your ownership or have the original Play Online registration code. Don't share this number with your friend, unless you're giving him the account permanently. NOTE: I lost a friendship over a shared account. I strongly suggest the two of you clearly understand the terms. My friend told me (and I have the logs showing it) his account permanently forever. A couple of years later he changed his mind saying he wanted to use it again. In the mean time I had lent it to my Son, who changed the password of the account. My (now former friend) took offense to this and said I was stealing from him. While I had and still have the logs showing our conversation, I didn't fight and simply put the blame on myself (instead of my Son) over the password or fight over his giving me his account permanently or temporarily. I strongly suggest the two of you and your Brother decide this clearly and even write it down. Yeah, include your Brother because what happens if 18 months from now or 3 year from now he wants to play his character again? Your friend has 18 to 36 months on his own character and ... well, you see the issue.

How do I make money in Runescape?

Can someone give me some advice for money-making in runescape. I am a lvl 76 member. Im looking for good practical ways to make money. Please post a response.
Answer: Players of any level can easily do the Stronghold of Player Safety between Barbarian Village and Edgeville in the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence, as all of the monsters on the route to the 10,000 coins are all non-aggressive. Upon the completion of the miniquest, players are rewarded with two skill lamps (each lamp is worth 500xp and can be applied to any skill regardless of level), 10,000 coins, Safety gloves and the Safety first emote. It is tricky to navigate through the Stronghold of Player Safety, but the rewards are great. The high level monsters drop large numbers of runes for players who choose to train on them, some high-level ores such as mithril and adamant, and even rune scimitars and rune square shields for rarer drops. (For members, they mainly drop charms, seeds, and herbs.) No food is needed, but a high enough percent of run is recommended. The reward may only be received once per player, however, if a player loses/drops their Safety gloves they can come back to the chest for a new pair. Once completed, the Cockroach soldiers (level 83) drop Rune Scimitar and Rune Sq Shield. They also offer decent training for higher leveled players. If players are brave enough, they can attempt the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Food is recommended for players at all levels and even more for low-level players. ('Note: For players with 10-15 hitpoints, trouts or higher are recommended). One can usually pick up raw trout and salmon from powerfishers near barbarian village on world 1. After players have had their account recovery questions set and proceed through all four levels in the Stronghold, they will be awarded 10,000 coins and either: the Fancy boots or the Fighting boots. (You can only get the money one time and you can swap your boots if you change your mind). The monsters in this dungeon get stronger as players descend from level to level, and are aggressive beginning with the second level. There are some "safe" spots on all levels where players can wait to recover their run energy and eat to restore their hitpoints before they proceed further. Some lower trainable monsters in the security stronghold include zombies and minotaurs. The zombies constantly drop steel arrows, body runes, and gems. The minotaurs drop iron arrows which can add up in time. There have been reports that the random event occurrences tend to be increased in the stronghold, so training for a long time will increase your chances of getting gems and other random event items. Players may bank all items and just sprint through each level to get the rewards easily. Like the Stronghold of Player Safety, the reward may only be received once per player. Once completed, the Flesh Crawlers often drop higher leveled herbs, which can be gathered, & sold for a tidy sum. Another way which you can make money is by mining clay and/or making soft clay.The best place to mine clay is in Varrock west. Take nothing but your pickaxe and mine 28 clay (per trip) deposit them in your bank and go for more. When you have clay you can now soften it pack by pack or bank and soften larger amounts at a time to make the more sought after soft clay. To do so you will need to use a bowl of water or another water filled container on the normal clay. Buying 28 bowls and filling them at once at the Varrock fountain would be the fastest method as then you can soften 14 clay at a time without banking and 28 at a time without running to refill bowls. For members who do not mind spending money to gain money, buying a bracelet of clay will highly speed up the process. Each bracelet has the charges to mine 28 Soft clay rather than Clay which avoid the above mentioned step completely. Bracelets of Clay are made using common saphire gems so often times crafters and/or mages sell them much cheaper than cost to gain their own levels without the desire to mine the clay. On November 7, 2008, a bracelet of clay was 606 gp each, clay was 98 gp each, and soft clay was 166 gp each. An easy method to earn money is by gathering Snape grass. Just west of the Crafting Guild is a small peninsula, Hobgoblin Peninsula, that has a small collection of hobgoblins and a snape grass respawn point. The closest bank is the eastern Falador bank. Start there with an empty inventory and armor if needed. Make your way to the peninsula and collect a full inventory of snape grass. Make your way back to the bank and repeat this process until satisfied. Once you have had enough, the snape grass can be sold in the Grand Exchange for 328 coins each. If you cannot survive an attack from a Hobgoblin, this method is not recommended. If you are a member and choose this method, there are two things you should know. If you have the Agility level of 26 or higher, there is a short cut in the Falador wall just south of the gem shop. This means that the closest bank is now the western Falador bank. If you have the ability to summon a beast of burden (Level 22 Summoning - Spirit kalphite, Level 40 - Bull ant, Level 52 - Spirit terrorbird, Level 67 - War tortoise, Level 96 - Pack yak), you can bring them along to help by adding more inventory slots. Alternatively, members who have completed lunar diplomacy and have at least 72 magic can teleport to Waterbirth, collect the snape grass, then teleport to moonclan to bank. one disadvantage to this method, however, is that astral runes take a bit of time buying on GE. These eggs can be found in the sewers of Varrock. There are 2 spawn points for them and they respawn about every 40 seconds (faster on busy worlds). They sell for 380gp each on the G.E. which is fast cash if you need some easy money. One trip with a full inventory can bank you a little more than 10k! Beware of the many level 34 spiders though, they'll try to pile you if you're not careful. After making a few trips, you'll figure out just how much food is necessary for survival but runs out just in time for a full inventory of eggs. A minimum Combat level of 50 is recommended. If you don't know where the sewers are at, the entrance is just east of the Varrock Palace and Just north of the east bank. It is marked on your map with a Red Exclamation (!) Mark. The spiders are towards the end of the sewers by the Moss Giants. The eggs are on the south wall on the ground. *Note: the spiders do NOT drop the eggs. Also, with 10 summoning, you can summon a spirit spider. Buy the pouches and egg spawn scrolls off the grand exchange. The egg spawn scrolls spawn 0-3 red spiders' eggs. The spiders last 14 minutes. Each pouch costs the same as one egg, and each scroll costs 1/10 of the price of an egg. Remember that you get up to 3 eggs per scroll, so you can't lose money doing it! Collecting planks can be profitable given time and patience. They spawn in the Graveyard of Shadows and can be sold for 200 each. A full inventory makes almost 6k. It is recommended that you have a high level however, as there are zombies in the grave that will swarm you. Conveniently, the Bounty Hunter bank is only a short walk away. Members can make tuna potatoes, which sell at the GE for 1,696 coins. The ingredients, sweetcorn for 261 GP, baked potato with butter for 705 GP (or baked potato for 166 GP and a pat of butter for 488 GP) and cooked tuna for 111 GP can be bought for a total of 1,077 GP (or 1,026 GP if the pat of butter and baked potato are bought separate). This means a 619 GP (or 670 GP) profit per tuna potato without leaving the Grand Exchange! You can make money and xp by upgrading pizzas. One of the easiest ways to make money is to go to the Grand Exchange and purchase plain pizzas and anchovies. Add the anchovies to the plain pizzas and then sell them for a profit. Anchovies cost about 169 GP, and plain pizzas cost about 255 GP. Anchovy pizzas sell for about 578 GP. This means that for each anchovy pizza you sell, you make about 154 GP depending on flucuation. 154 GP may not seem like much, but you can add anchovies to 14 plain pizzas in about 30 seconds, for a profit of 4,312 per minute. This works out to about 258,720 GP per hour. You also get 39 cooking XP for each pizza you upgrade for about 65,520 cooking XP per hour. Players can mine Iron ore. It sells for around 96 coins each, and is very quick to mine. The mines south-west and south-east of Varrock as well as the Dwarven mines are popular for free players, whilst members can mine iron ore in the mine north of Yanille or the mine east of Ardougne, which are both closer to banks than the F2P mines. Members can mine pure essence, which sell for around 161 coins each. Pure essence is mined very quickly - taking less than a minute to fill a player's inventory - and it only requires one click to do so. Aubury in Varrock is the closest person to a bank for players under 66 Magic, whilst Wizard Distentor in the Magic Guild is the closest person to a bank for players with 66 magic or higher. If a player has a mid-level agility level (~50), and is using Aubury, they can make ~150k an hour. If player has got 66 magic he/she can make ~200k in an hour. Mining runite ore in deep Wilderness (beware of revenants) or at the Heroes' Guild makes a profit of about 18,900 coins per ore. However, since runite takes a long time to spawn (about 12-20 minutes depending on world population), world switching is recommended.

A Confederacy of Bachelors

WHAT if you had never settled down? Never taken that job for the health insurance, or decided to start a family? For New Yorkers of a certain age, those are the middle-of-the night questions, the nagging thoughts that occur as they squeeze themselves onto the packed No. 1 train for another day at the office, ignoring that unfinished screenplay or - Danaher Dempsey, Luke Crane, Rick Brown and Shyaporn Theerakulstit, four best friends from their college days, have spent much of the last 18 years living together in low-rent spaces they found in New York City; men represent both trends toward communal living and delaying marriage and family life.

Please tell me everything you know about guinea pigs ?

Answer: exact same thing as in rodents section, but i decided to post it here too so I might get best answer! yes?? please :))) I'll help you! hehe. I'm happy you chose to get a guinea pig! They are really great! So as far as where to get them, if you want you can message me the place you live (don't post it, then an internet predator or whatever might see it) and I'll find your local shelter or a breeder. I don't trust pet stores. Or you can just look it up yourself. Go on google and type in "your city name" animal shelters or animal rescue So my basic guide to guinea pigs::::: Food) Guinea pigs need unlimited timothy hay. They also need unlimited food pellets with the first ingredient being timothy hay. A lot have the main ingredient as alfalfa, but alfalfa is too high in calcium. I'd reccomend the Kaytee stuff if you can't get oxbow, which is the best. But it has to be shipped, so it's harder to get. Vitamin C) They don't make it so you have to give it to them some way. Kaytee food has it in it, so it's not as much of a worry, but you should give them fresh veggies so they get some of it fresh. Good fresh foods are romaine lettuce, parsley, mustard greens, carrots, bell peppers, and other stuff. Bad things are iceburg lettuce, cabbage, potatoes, and any dairy or meat. There is more to add to both lists, but that's just some simple stuff. They can eat almost all leftover veggie scraps, like the leaves you don't eat on carrots, corn, broccili, and celery. With celery make sure to chop it really small because it's stringy. Cage) I say c&c cages are the best. One guinea pig should have 7.5 square feet of space. Go to http://www.guineapigcages.com and it will tell you how to order of build a cage. Friend) Another guinea pig is not required, but reccomended. I'm guessing you're about my age, so you'll be needing to go to school every day. It will get pretty boring for your guinea pig. And if you get two both will probably be more active. That's more fun! So you don't need 2, but it's not much harder then one and will make them happier. O yea. Just make sure they're the same sex. Make sure the person sexes them with you watching, so you know they know. Bedding) You have some options. You can use wood ships, but make sure you get ones that are safe for guinea pigs. If you do I would say spot clean as often as possible by switching out their 'special corner' and then giving a full cage clean once or twice a week. Same if you use Carefresh. Tho other option is using fleece with towels or puppy pads under it. To clean this vaccuum the poops off the top and then throwing the whole thing in the washing machine. I use fleece because it seems soft for their feet. Carefresh is most expensive but makes it smell best. If they like a corner more then anywhere else, try putting a litter pan in that corner. They might become potty trained! Water) simple. Make sure they have enough fresh water at all times. Hidey Home) Each guinea pig needs a home to hide in so it will feel security. Toys) They like simple stuff like paper towel rolls, cardboard boxes, and paper bags. They really like running through those soda packs. And a lot of them like those hanging bell toys. Some ferret, rabbit, and cat toys are good too. Just make sure your guinea pig can't eat through it or there are no small parts. Grooming) They should be brushed about weekly, more if they're long haired and they need hair cuts if they have long hair. They need to get their nails trimmed about once a month. http://www.guinealynx.com has a good guide for nails. Also bathe them about twice a year, more if they get really dirty. Have some warm water in jugs. But your guinea pig in a sink or bowl it can't jump out of. pour the water over it, not on it's head and face though. Put small pet or possibly baby shampoo on it and lather up! But still not on the face. Now rinse with more of your warm water. Use towels to gently dry it off, then keep your baby in a warm-ish place until the water is all dry on it! So I hope this helps! And you should know that you can ask me anything else you want to know!

Socrates on the Beach: An Island Walk

EVERY summer thousands of New Yorkers go to Fire Island, a narrow barrier island off the South Shore of Long Island, in search of sun, sand, sex and sea breezes. But this year, on the last weekend in August, a motley group of nine disembarked at the Pines, the famous gay resort at the islands midpoint, hellbent on Socratic dialogue. The draw was - Island Night, a 12-hour overnight walk on Fire Island hosted by the arts group Elastic City, is part philosophic dialogue, part poetic reverie and part nature walk.
