Science fiction fans, help me out with the title and author to this story! About aliens abducting children?
The story came out in Analog or Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine maybe in the 1980's and involved testing centers established by these aliens that faster-than-light travel. They would test all human children and if the kids were able to teleport then they'd take the children. Humans resisted at first but the aliens were brutal. I recall they killed everyone in Wichita, Kansas to make an example of what happens to anyone that resists them. So there were testing centers all over the world and human children were tested, a small percentage were abducted, then one child teleported back to Earth after being abducted but the aliens took her back to their planet. It enraged the humans who decided that no child goes to the alien planet twice. They posted solders at every testing center. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?

Answer 1 :
Kind of reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. However, I have three places you can check to find out. 1) alibris.com just ask this question on that site. 2) ask the librarian at loc.gov which is the website for the Library of Congress. 3) Go to Baen's Books on the web. Sign in. When they email an okay and you sign in for real, you can ask others in the chat rooms or ask the authors of other books and editors of Sci-Fi magazines this question. Then after you find your answer and would like to do more you can read and download free e-books. Have fun and enjoy!
Answer 2 :
Actually, there's an episode of Outer Limits (I believe it was a two-parter) that's very very similar. It's called The Inheritors, and starred Robert Duvall

Answer 1 :
Go to an auction...thats where I got my first car, Take a mechanic....Auctions have pretty good deals and its best to go toward the end of the month. When dealing with a private seller...you don't know what you're getting yourself into unless its a friend of the family.When dealing with a dealer, its safer than both auctions and private sellers but also more expensoive(they have to make a profit) Remember to do a carfax report...that 30.00 is nothing compared to the 100's-1000's you could spend repairing a car u thought was already in good shape. Although a used cars may need immediate repairs anyway because its old and things start to fall apart after so many years.But Carfax lets you know how often the person did oil changes&everything..so it will give you a pretty good Idea of whether the engine is is good shape..GOODLUCK....and Try http://www.yahoo.com/autos

About Can anyone recomend any site besides ebay for purchasing used HD sportsters
Can anyone recomend any site besides ebay for purchasing used HD sportsters ?
Google searches didn,t reveal much. I already all over Ebay but I'm planning on purchasing a bike next year with tax return and savings. That gives me 6 months to hunt for bargains but so far all I've really found is Ebay. I live in Wichita Ks. but I'd be willing to travel 300 to 500 for right bike. Also I'd appreciate it if you spare me your opinions on how I'll want something bigger than a sportster DUH. I'm purchasing within my means perhaps a sportster trade in will help me with a future bike purchase.

Answer 1 :
not sure how you would go about that. might need to get a working visa .. instead of a tourist visa. incase you haven't looked into that yet .. you can go to yahoos search engine and type in "Brazilian embassy in Washington DC" and their website should pop up. they should have all the info. i also think speaking english 100% fluently is a major pluss.. i dont think it would be hard to get a job there.... but.. how to "go about" finding work. you can also see what they have on craigslist.com.. click on Brazil on the right.. its like the classifides.. if you cant find anything through research.. then maybe u'll have to take a lil trip down there .. to figure things out.. and set everything up.. you picked a beautiful country good luck
Answer 2 :
You could work as an English teacher, but you would need a work Visa, and the salary is not much. Minimum wage in Brazil is about 160 dollars a month. A regular job in Brazil would hardly pay you more than 400 a month. Take a look below at the website for the main English courses in Brazil.
Answer 3 :
Better to go just to visit
