Can i bring a pocket knife with me on an airplane ?

I have this swiss army knife that I have and I use it almost every single day. I will be traveling to Vietnam for 29 days and I would like to bring it. It' is about 1.5 inches long and it does have a sharp tip. It also includes a small scissors with a sharp tip aswell, then theres my folding knife with the blade about 3 inches long . are these fine to put in my checked luggage? i dont plan on carrying it on with me through the metal detector and stuff .

In your checked luggage it should be OK, just not forget to put it in before you go to the plane, both directions of travel.

I do not know if there are any laws about knives in Vietnam.

Search for missing plane off N.S. called off
HALIFAX - The military search for two men whose plane disappeared off the northern coast of Cape Breton was called off Saturday afternoon with no sign of the aircraft being found.

Every year, millions of people learn how to fly and end up getting their pilot's license to fly their own personal plane. There are so many different licenses for operating different kinds of vehicles that it can be easy to mix up the different rules and processes. There are driving licenses, motorcycle licenses, boat licenses, plane licenses, and many more. Float planes, however, are a little different in that they require the skills of a float endorsement boat license as well as mass amounts of floatplane training. It could take you well over a year before you are ready to successfully operate a float plane.

Float planes require a lot of practice with depth perception and steadiness of the hand. Float planes are very different from regular planes in that they have to land and take off from a body of water. Water, is not always the same shape and therefore becomes rigid and uneven when something comes flying towards it. One of the hardest things to do is land a plane but try landing a plane on rocky waters. The key to a perfect landing is a smooth glide in and lots and lots of good practice and training. Because landing is one of the hardest parts, it is a big accomplishment when you finally get it.

Another important characteristic of planes to learn when you are learning how to fly them is how they work in the air. You will want to get to know your plane. Understand its weight, its balance tendencies, as well as how sensitive its controls are. Planes can be very different in that, for example, one steering wheel might be very easy to turn, while one might need a bit more pressure. Some planes require a bit more force than others, while some plans are very easy to move and tend to need less management from you, the pilot.

When learning how to fly the plane and when you are taking your actually lessons, it is extremely important that you can learn how to read and follow all of the gauges that the plane has. If there is a gauge with numbers or symbol that you do not understand, that could potentially solve a problem. Therefore, if you are able to learn about them before hand you will be just fine. The major gauges in the plane are the speedometer, the altitude, and the level of the plane. These three gauges are directly in front of you behind the steering wheel.

Though float planes are very different from any other automobile or vehicle you have ever operated, they are still operational if you can learn the tricks of the trade and get your piloting license. Once you learn how to fly them well, you will be out on the water each and every day! Your new float plane will be your new pride and joy and you will be able to take friends and family out on the water, and into the sky!

Connor R. Sullivan recently researched the business of float endorsement company in order to write an article about the subject. His son completed his floatplane training and is eligible to fly.

Letters for Santa
The Star-Herald, one of Nebraska�s most honored daily newspapers, has a circulation of more than 16,000 and publishes every day of the week but Monday.Scottsbluff is located in Scotts Bluff County (pop. 37,000) and is a growing agricultural and retail trade center in western Nebraska.

Hoover Dam is one of Las Vegas' best attractions. Located just 30 miles southeast of the City, the Dam's massive wall holds back the mighty Colorado River, creating Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the U.S., and generating 4.2 billion kilowatts-hours of hydro-electricity a year. Walking tours are available. But to get a real sense of this engineering marvel, you've got to take a helicopter ride.

Most likely you'll see the Dam as part of a Grand Canyon helicopter tour. You'll fly low over the structure and get opportunities to shoot pictures of which travelers on the ground can only dream. To enrich your aerial view, here are a few Dam facts:

  • Height - 726.4 feet
  • Thickness - 660 feet at base, 45 feet at crest.
  • Length - 1,244 feet
  • 13,000 to 16,000 people cross it daily.
  • Spans across Black Canyon, connecting Nevada to Arizona.
  • 112 people died during its construction
  • 15 government entities split the Dam's hydroelectric power.
  • Cost $736 million to build (adjusted for inflation).
  • 8-10 million visitors annually

The new construction you see west of the Dam is the Mike O'Callaghan - Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. Once completed, the road over Hoover Dam will only be open to foot traffic. The $240-million project, which spans 1,900 feet, will rise 840 feet above the Colorado River, making it an attraction in its own right.

The Grand Canyon leg of the flight usually features the West Rim, located 90 miles east of the Dam. There are many ways to experience the Rim by helicopter. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Fly over the Rim and back to Las Vegas.

2. Land at the Rim and check out the Skywalk, a "Glass Bridge" that extends 70 feet over the edge, the Colorado River roaring nearly 4,000 feet below.

3. Land at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This is the only place in the Canyon where you can do this.

On the return flight, you have the option to add-on a flight over the Las Vegas Strip (a must-see).

These helicopter flights depart from the Las Vegas area, and include hotel pick up and drop off (ask about the limousine option if you're really looking to make it a special occasion). In the air, you'll find yourself ensconced in comfort: Most helicopters are accommodate up to six passengers, are climate-controlled, and come with wrap-around windows for panoramic views. Standard flight-time is 1.5 hours and costs between $300 - $400. Book on-line if you want the absolute lowest price.

Wrap Up

Hoover Dam is a fascinating feat of modern engineering. If you want to truly understand its scale, take a Hoover Dam helicopter. The most practical way to see the Dam is to book a Grand Canyon Helicopter flight. Not only do you get to see one of man's greatest accomplishments, but you also get to experience one of the seven natural wonders of the world. There are plenty of West Rim options within your tour package. As well, there's a air-ground package that departs from Las Vegas by bus and arriving at Hoover Dam, where you transfer to the helicopter portion of your tour.

Visiting Las Vegas? Definitely book a Hoover Dam helicopter. Learn more about such trips at http://www.GrandCanyonHelicopterTourReviews.com

The Kuiper Belt is like an Asteroid Belt Beyond Neptune

In 1950, the existence of a region of mostly icy objects was predicted by Gerard Kuiper. There have now been about 1300 objects discovered in this region. We can expect many more to be found. An estimate has been made that there are hundreds of thousands of object in this belt over 100 kilometres across and perhaps trillions of smaller ones.

As Mr. Kuiper predicted these objects seem to have a lot of ice in their composition as well as things like Methane and some rock. In fact except for their orbit, they are similar to comets.

Distance from the Sun

The Kuiper Belt is from 35 to 55 Astronomical units from the Sun. (The Astronomical Unit or AU is the distance of the Earth to the Sun.) The Objects of this region are sometimes referred to as Trans-Neptunian Objects.

Short Period Comets

Short period comets are the ones like Halley's Comet that come into the inner Solar System where we can see them and return in less than 200 years. The objects of the Kuiper Belt are generally in stable orbits, but if one their orbits is sufficiently disrupted they can head towards the Sun as short period comets.

Long Period Comets

These are comets with very long return times, so we would have to keep very good records for many centuries or millennia to identify them as the same comet. These are more likely to come from the Oort cloud than the Kuiper Belt.

Steve Challis has Astronomy articles on http://stevechallis.net. This includes an article about Eris, the biggest Kuiper Belt Object so far discovered: http://stevechallis.net/Eris%2C-Our-Tenth-Planet.php.

Celebrity Private Jet Planes

It seems like today the latest craze is to travel by private jet charter. Most celebrities do it, in fact a lot of them even own their own planes. People typically assume that 'normal' people can't afford it but it can actually work out cheaper than normal flying, especially for businesses.

Tom Cruise reportedly owns three private jets so it's unlikely he will ever be stuck for a lift. Perhaps this is a bit over the top and unnecessary but many businesses choose to send their employees by private jet charter because it actually saves them money in the long term. If you take into consideration the cost of a taxi to the airport, the flight prices, food at the airport and the time you have to pay the employee for, this all adds up. Flying by private jet charter saves so much time which means that employers aren't paying for so much of their employees' time.

Stars such as John Travolta have even taken it a step further and have learnt how to fly their own planes. Not content with a Boeing 707, he also has four other jets in his front garden. Whilst not everyone can afford this type of extravagance, a flight on a private jet charter can be a great way to impress potential customers and work colleagues. Being picked up in your very own aeroplane is likely to score points with anyone which means that they are more likely to use your company in the future.

Flying by private jet charter can have many advantages. For example, Simon Cowell prefers this method because he can smoke on his own planes whereas he can't if he flies on a standard aircraft. Other advantages include the fact that if it is for travel purposes you can even conduct meetings on the planes so you save time when you get to the other side. You are also guaranteed complete privacy which means that all passengers can relax and feel comfortable.

It's hardly surprising that so many celebrities opt to travel by private jet charter. With such busy schedules waiting around an airport or being stuck in traffic for hours can cause massive problems. However, when flying by a private plane all you need to do is simply tell your chosen company what time you need to be somewhere and the rest will be done for you. Perhaps this is the reason why so many companies now choose to send their employees to meetings and conferences by this method of transport.

((A Chapter story from "To Save the Lopsided Sparrow) (Sequel to: "Cornfield Laughter")) It was funny to Corporal Shannon O'Day to see Leticia shot at close range. There was something strange, almost comic to it-a bullet and all of a sudden an agitated surprise to the mad woman's face, a surprise to find inside of her, in the center of her lair, to see her drop backwards (than catch her balance), next-to watch her go frantic in dizzying circles at some robotic electric impulse, as if she was racing ahead of death itself, inside of her. But the great puzzle was-for the moment anyway-the great puzzle of all was, the thing Shannon O'Day shook his head back and fourth about, and had to...
