How to Get a Wine Tasting Permit

Find out whether your wine tasting qualifies for a special-occasion permit. Special-occasion permits are for events, such as weddings, charitable fundraisers and community festivals. A permit like this is normally good for a week or less, depending on state laws.
Seek out your state's liquor-control board online. You can find state-specific instructions on how to apply for a license or permit to keep you in good legal standing in your area. You can find the appropriate State alcohol-control board at the Marin Institute website (see Resources below).
Take a look at local applications and permit requirements by accessing your state's website via USA.gov (see Resources below).
Check the requirements for frequency limitations on special-occasion permits. If you plan on hosting more that one tasting event, be aware that some states have varying rules regarding the number of special permits you can get throughout the year.
State where your event will be held when you contact your local board. The need for a permit depends on where your event will be held and whether you plan to sell the alcohol or serve it to your guests free of charge. If you are simply hosting a tasting party in your private residence, you need not worry.
Indicate on your application whether you will be using public streets during your event. If the event blocks access to any part of a street, you will need to get approval from the local municipal authority and attach it to the permit application.
Prepare a description of the room in which the wine tasting will be held. Some agencies will need the measurements of the room and a specific description about what it will be used for, such as storage, bottling and serving.

How to Set Up a Filezilla FTP Server (5 Steps)

Download the Filezilla server application. While you may also want to download the client software, you will need the hosting software to set up your FTP server. A link to the download page can be found in the Resources section.
Run the Filezilla setup utility, FileZilla_Server-0_9_31.exe. You will have to agree to the license agreement before you can begin installation.
Select the standard installation type, and choose the folder you would like Filezilla to be installed to. You will next have to choose between automatically starting the program with Windows, or starting it manually. Starting the program with Windows is the recommended setting, and is marked as the default.
Set your start-up preferences for the server interface. By default, the server interface will start as soon as you log in. Press the 'Install' button, and click 'Close' when the installation has completed.
Run the Filezilla Server Interface. It will ask for your Port, which should by default be set to 14147, and the server address. Setting the server address to '127.0.0.1' will direct the computer to connect to itself. This will make the computer you are currently using the FTP server. Tick off the 'Always connect to this server' box, and click 'OK' to connect.

How to Become a Street Racer (8 Steps)

Locate a race that you may wish to enter. In an effort to keep drivers from hosting illegal street races, a number of municipalities have started organizing legal street races along closed stretches of road or on the closed tracks of racing venues. The first resource below provides an example of legal street racing. Check with your state attorney general's office, your local sheriff's office or your local chief law enforcement officer's department to inquire about a schedule and venue of some legal street racing events.
Fulfill any pre-licensing requirements of the race organizers or organization. For instance, the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) requires any prospective racers to join the organization and obtain a NHRA Competition License if a racer plans to drive a car capable of passing the quarter-mile in a time of less than 9.99 seconds.
Call the event organizers or venue to receive a race registration or download the registration from the event’s website, where applicable.
Choose the type of race you wish to enter. Venues offer different types of race events. “Heads-up” style races pit one driver against another in a single or double-elimination, timed drag race down a set length, such as a quarter or 1/8-mile. “Handicap” races challenge a driver to set a time that his car will pass a certain distance and the race winner is the driver that best meets that preset time.
Fill out the registration and mail it to the organization or venue, along with any entry fees.
Verify that your car meets the standards or limits set forth by the racing organization or venue operator. For instance, Qualcomm Drags in San Diego sets a 93-decibel limit on the sound emanating from your car’s exhaust. The National Association of Legal Street Racing (NALSR) requires that a car’s door open from the inside and outside, and it does not permit the racing of any car with a rotary or air-cooled engine.
Make any alterations to your vehicle to fulfill the standards or limits of the racing organization. Some events permit nitrous-oxide systems while others require that a driver disable these systems or provide a cut-off switch.
Take your driver’s license, registration, car, and where applicable, proof of insurance to the track on race day. If you are under the age of 18 your parent or guardian may need to either accompany you to the track and sign a form, or mail in a notarized, pre-signed form. Please note that some venues require a race entrant to drive her car to the track, while other venues or organizations permit a driver to tow her car to the raceway.
