Who would have thought to hide their photograph in their bike as a way to ID it? ID YOUR BIKE. When buying a new bicycle (and for the bikes you have already), place a photograph of the owner inside the handlebar. Simply remove a handgrip, insert photo and replace grip. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, you have a positive ID of the owner. I sug- gested this when I worked at a store that sold bicycles. It saved many par- ents the cost of buying a new bike. -- Ryan, Texas QUICKLY CHILL DRINKS. If you need to chill wine, champagne, beer or other drinks quickly, salt and ice will do the trick. Place the bottle in an ice bucket or other tall plastic con- tainer. Add a layer of ice on the bottom and sprinkle it with a few tablespoons of salt. Continue to layer salt and ice until it reaches the neck of the bottle. Then add enough water to bring it up to the level of the ice.

"ATF continues to vig- orously track those indi- viduals who chose to vio- late the law and illegally traffic in firearms," said Special Agent in Charge Joseph Riehl.

Peace officers who own off-ros- ter firearms may sell them in a private sale, as long as it is brokered by a Fed- eral Firearms Licensee. They may not, however, use these private sales to conduct a business whose principal objective is to make a profit through the repetitive purchase and resale of firearms.

LU transferred 23 firearms to a private party, 18 of those were transferred within one year of the initial purchase. According to the indictment and other doc- uments filed with the dis- trict court, Snellings, a licensed firearms dealer, engaged in straw purchas- es involving McGowan, Lu, and other unindicted persons, who used their status as law enforcement officers to purchase off- roster firearms that were not available to the gener- al public. Those weapons were then resold to pri- ence.
