Hmmmm. I think this might've been sent to the wrong list.

Guide and Service Dogs
Allowing Guide Dogs and Service Dogs to Enter Hawaii Without
Quarantine
THE HONOLULU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ON THE ISLAND OF OAHU IS THE ONLY
PORT OF
ENTRY FOR ALL DOGS AND CATS ENTERING HAWAII. THIS INCLUDES GUIDE
DOGS AND
SERVICE DOGS.
GUIDE DOGS AND SERVICE DOGS THAT MEET THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS CAN
COME
INTO HAWAII WITHOUT QUARANTINE PROVIDED THEY FOLLOW THE STEPS OUTLINED
BELOW.
"Guide dog" means any dog individually trained by a licensed guide dog
trainer for guiding a blind person by means of a harness attached to
the dog
and a rigid handle grasped by the person.
"Service dog" means any dog that is individually and professionally
trained
to: alert a person with impaired hearing to the presence of people or
sounds; assist a person with disabilities involving mobility by
pulling a
wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, or otherwise aiding the user in
accomplishing a variety of tasks; alert a person with a seizure
disorder to
the onset of a seizure or to alert another person or organization at a
remote location to the seizure; or alert a person to an impending
life-threatening medical crisis and assist in mitigating the
consequences of
such a crisis; and that belongs to a person with a disability that
substantially limits a major life activity.
KEY POINTS FOR QUALIFYING AS A SERVICE DOG
OR AN EXEMPTED GUIDE DOG
The dog must have current rabies vaccination. (Documentation of the
vaccination must include the product name, the lot or serial number,
and the
expiration date of the lot.)
The dog must have an electronic microchip implanted.
The dog must have a microchip implanted that can be read with an Avid
scanner (Avid or Home Again chip).
Prior to arrival the dog must have passed one OIE-FAVN test after 12
months
of age, with a level of 0.5 I.U. rabies antibody or greater. The
laboratory
will not perform the tests unless the microchip number accompanies
the test
request form.
The dog must have a standard health certificate issued not more than
30 days
prior to arrival in Hawaii.
For a service dog, there must be a physician's statement which
certifies as
to the disability, and that the service dog provides assistance
having to do
with that disability and documentation of training, or a certificate
of
training as a service dog by a training program accredited by
Assistance
Dogs International, Inc., or a service dog training program with
equally
rigorous administrative, operational and training standards.
To prevent delays on arrival, it is strongly advised that all required
documents be sent to the Rabies Quarantine Branch well ahead of your
intended arrival date. Information can be mailed to the Animal
Quarantine
Station, 99-851 Halawa Valley Street, Aiea, HI 96701 or faxed to
(808)
483-7161. Staff may be contacted by telephone (808) 483-7151 or (808)
837-8092 or e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to assist your with
preparations.
The Rabies Quarantine Branch must receive notification at least 24
hours in
advance of arrival information and location where the dog will be
staying.
Information can be faxed to 808-483-7161.
On arrival in Hawaii, the dog must be brought by the airline to the
Airport
Animal Quarantine Holding Facility for verification of compliance
with the
above requirements and examination of the dog for external
parasites. If
all is in order, the dog will be released at that point.
Qualified Guide dog and Service dog users may request inspection in
the
terminal at Honolulu International Airport between the hours of 8:00
am and
4:00 pm, by notifying the Rabies Quarantine Branch 7 days or more
before
arriving. In these cases, a “Notice of Terminal
Inspection” with tracking
number will be issued and sent to the user. To avoid confusion and
delays,
this Notice must be presented to airline representatives upon
arrival in
Hawaii. After inspection, if all is in order, the dog will be
released.

Correct, music can be purchased via iTunes with VO. I was just
commenting that you could also check Amazon and in a month the Zoon
store too will be DRM free. I'm just saying that you don't need to
use DRM laiden music from iTunes now days.

Unfortunately, music purchased via the Zune store can only
play on a Zune and there aren't many of them out there. Is far
as I know, music can be bought via the itunes store in iTunes with
VoiceOver. The only catch is the initial setting up of the
account and validation.

A more accessible option appears to be the Amazon service that is
in beta. Its also largely DRM free as will soon be the Microsoft
Zoon music store. I plan on no longer buying from the DRM riden,
restrictive iTunes store.
