RATz,

May  I also suggest the Janes Defence Weekly.  This  free  weekly emaily
reports on al things industrial- who sold what weapons to whom and for how
much- who is massing troops on what border and how many- New weapons in
dfevlopment- Cities transport buying habits- plant closings and
consolidations that affect the military- not just America , but all over
the world.

goto http://www.janes.com and check it out.

 Also, you can report that you love animals, and there fore prefer not to
eat them near the end of the original invitation- it's either  just before
or after the hotel stuff...
