What is the weight difference between a nine inch Ford rear and a 12 Bolt
Does anyone have an idea? I know the nine inch is a lot heavier, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how much? I installed one in my Camino and wish I had weighed it and the 10 bolt I took out!
Good Day! Larry

Yeah, I've been around the block a few times, but I usually can find my house without help!

Not much of a difference in weight. The 9" pinion rides lower on the ring gear than the 12 bolt. This spreads the power over a larger area which increases it's durability but also increases internal friction. Some people prefer the 12 bolt because it eats less power than the 9".

A complete 12-bolt rearend with drum brakes weighs around 185 pounds. It uses 2 to 3 percent less power than a 9-inch and even factory pieces are capable of withstanding 500 hp using 30-spline axles.

The typical 9-inch rearend weighs in around 177 pounds (without brakes). A benefit of this design is that its third member can be easily accessed, and the factory components are capable of withstanding even more torque with 31-spline axles.

Let's face it, performance cars are all about discovering the weak link in the chain. As soon as you start making serious horsepower, what happens? You break a transmission or a rearend because it's too weak. Darwin taught us that only the strong survive. This means that you can forget the spindly 7.5- and 8.2-inch 10-bolts. They're cannon fodder. For this story, we're going to compare the 12-bolt to the much-vaunted Ford 9-inch to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of both rearends. To help us with our quest, we contacted Randy's Ring and Pinion to track all the variables.
The 12-bolt and 9-inch rears are actually more similar than they are different. The major difference between the two is the design of the housings. The 12-bolt integral design features a carrier case and pinion support that are part of the rearend housing, while the 9-inch employs a drop-out third member that takes advantage of an independent carrier case and pinion support that bolts into the rearend housing.
12-Bolts to Glory The GM 12-bolt debuted in 1965 and was mass-produced until 1972. It features an 8.875-inch ring-gear carrier held in place with two internal main caps. The pinion gearshaft measures 1.625 inches in diameter and is shimmed to achieve the proper pinion depth. The pinion gear splines to a yoke that mates with the driveshaft's rear universal joint. The three most common types of yokes are the 1310-, 1330-, and 1350-series units, but the 12-bolt generally uses the smallest, 1310-style U-joint.
Factory axles come in a 30-spline configuration and slide into the side gears. Instead of bolting the axles in place, stock GM >> 10- and 12-bolts use small C-clips over the ends of the axles to hold them in place. This requires removing the rear cover, draining the oil, and extracting the center pin in order to pull the C-clips to remove the axles (whew!). Axle bearings are pressed into the tube with the outside diameter of the axleshaft acting as the inner bearing brace. The downside to this idea is that if the bearing fails, it takes out the axle too.
The 12-bolt is more complicated to assemble because it uses a shim between the pinion gear and the inboard pinion bearing. Since this bearing is pressed on, it must be removed with a press to change the pinion shim to adjust the pinion depth. Also, the ring-gear backlash is adjusted with shims as well. This requires the proper thickness of shims on both sides to ensure the carrier bearings are preloaded and that the backlash is correct. All of this is not difficult but does require specialty tools to accomplish. While original 12-bolt housings are becoming rare, Moser has stepped into the void with a brand-new housing configured for all the popular Chevy body styles.
When the 12-bolt rearend is properly assembled, it's the strongest passenger-vehicle rearend Chevy ever produced. GM engineers designed the 12-bolt to be a durable piece that could handle the torque output of its big displacement engines.
The Big 9-Inch
The 9-inch Ford rearend has established itself as the high-water mark for rear axle strength and durability. The 9-inch has become so pervasive in the performance market that you can purchase bolt-in 9-inch housings from companies like Currie Enterprises and Randy's Ring and Pinion for any Chevrolet body style you can conjure up.
The 9-inch rearend was first mass-produced by Ford Motor Company in 1957 and continued for 30 years. While the 9-inch uses many similar pieces to the 12-bolt, it configures them in a somewhat more convenient and durable package. A 9-inch rearend features a stamped housing with nothing more than axletubes welded on each end. This type of rearend is easier to service because of its removable centersection that houses the gearset. This removable gear case houses a differential unit that the ring gear bolts onto. The 9-inch uses a bolt-on external pinion support that locates the large pinion bearing. But an added plus for the 9-inch is an internal rear-pinion support that also supports the gear end of the pinion to limit gear deflection under high torque loads.
Like the 12-bolt, the 9-inch pinion gear is shimmed to achieve the proper pinion depth with a small pinion shaft diameter of 1.313 inches. Another difference between the two rearends is that the 9-inch locates its pinion gear lower on the ring gear to improve tooth contact. This strengthens the rearend assembly but at the cost of approximately 2 to 3 percent loss of power to drive the gears compared to a 12-bolt. Of course, the sizes of the gears, cases, and bearings are relevant to strength, so you have to give the strength comparison to the 9-inch with its 0.125-inch larger ring-gear diameter and internal pinion support.
Another advantage to the 9-inch is that the axles are easier to install and remove. Ford designed the factory 28- and 31-spline axles to be removable by yanking four bolts per axle flange, which allows the axle to slide out. The axles have pressed-on bearings and retainer plates that bolt to the housing flanges. There are no C-clips inside the rearend holding them in place like on a 12-bolt. The plus here for the 9-inch is that if you break an axle inside the housing, the axle retainer will keep the axle in place. On a 12-bolt, breaking an axle means it slides right out of the housing, causing massive sheetmetal damage along the way. You can convert a 12-bolt to the 9-inch style of axle retention, but it requires a C-clip eliminator kit and modifications to the housing.
Ultimately, the selection of 9-inch vs. 12-bolt comes down to personal preference. If you are building a cruiser and want to keep everything GM, the 12-bolt is more than capable of taking the abuse. On the other hand, if you plan to flog your Bow Tie machine with slicks and lots of torque, it's hard to beat the 9-inch's strength and ease of service. Both are great pieces, so we'll let you decide.

Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
What do we call the Gulf line of boats? Pilothouse? I had been interested in the Gulf 29 at one time until I realized that as soon as one steps and sits in the "pilothouse" one is too low to see out which seems to defeat the purpose of the pilothouse. True you can set up a seat and pilot from inside but anyone in a settee is well below window level a none starter for me should I ever get serious about moving to a pilothouse.
Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
According to the DSV, the yardstick of the Elvstroem Coronet 38 is 101, which is slower than any of the Dehler 34's (89 to 100).
for comparisons

Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
I've been told that my designs , down to 31 feet , look better with the pilot house than without it. I am embarrassed about how long I sat out in the rain without a pilot house before I clued in. I wouldn't be without one. In the inverted position , the buoyancy of the pilot house is the equivalent of adding thousands of pounds to the keel, in terms of ultimate stability. On a steel boat ,the pilot house can easily be as strong as the rest of the boat
Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
Thank you for your answers. My next step will be to sail the boat. You keep pointing out that the boat sails as well as any other 1975 design. I would be more than happy. if it could sail half as well as some of early Scandinavian designs, i can think of, like Swans or Hans Christian!!
Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
I am living aboard my CE38 in the Algarve. It is not normally so hot as in Greece. When not sailing, I keep a tarp over the boom and wheelhouse to keep most of the sunshine out. The boat is well insulated as it is intended for the Baltic, so that keeps the heat in or out as the case may be.
It sails in light winds as well as any other 1975 design. Try to get a demo sail on the one that you have seen.
Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
Thanks for your reply. You see my previous boats were an ecume de mer and a dufour 29. Now i was looking at a dehler 34 and a canados 37, when i came across with the 1982 coronet elvstrom 38, which gave me the impression of a strong worthy boat even though completely different from i had in mind. My wish is to sail the Greek islands living in the boat. The weather here is hot and the wind usually plenty. I love sailing and despise motoring. So any comments-advise from everybody who has a sailing or traveling experience with the boat, are more than welcome. I do not expect it to sail as fast as cruiser-racer, but can i sail it on low wind, or is it to havy or to boxy to to do that ?
Re: What do you think about a pilothouse sailboat
The Coronet Elvstrom 38 is a sailing boat with a centre cockpit and wheelhouse. It sails as well as any 1975 design of sailing boat with fin keel and skeg rudder. It sails to windward fine. Just don't expect it to point as high as a modern bendy-toy.

And when it gets really hot, you need a bimini, which I have as standard by removing the pilot house sides and back.
But generally, such craft are not built to race. On a boat my size, it might carry 6 or 8 crew to race, but I only have room for four in the pilot house and the side decks are not designed to be sat on. Racing boats need lots of space to let a large crew move about fast. The pilot house does add windage, which equals drag, which equals not so fast up wind.
The "mass produced" boats are designed to meet both racing and charter cruising requirements. I guess they make up the majority of the buyers who buy brand new, as the racers want the latest and fastest and the charter companies like to offer new boats for hire. There were a lot more pilot house models built before 1975, but that market slump bust a lot of builders. Since then, the remaining companies have largely focused on their main chance. However, Nauticat survived, as did Fisher for a while. Others try now and again but generally have low sales numbers.
For those who want not to race, or just charter for a couple of weeks, and want to live-aboard and travel slow but far, the newest is not so important as the functionality. So they hunt for a suitable boat and/or spend a lot on converting it to purpose. Some even add pilot houses.
My 2 cents.
|And my current desktop pic is the one with his Dad's boat at anchor off Patos Island. I'm looking forward to having our pilothouse varnished bright like that.
|And here is another very cool shot that Strangeflow's Dad sent me of their boat. Beautiful image. I've even had it as my desktop picture, as it makes me want to head out into the Strait and onto the Pacific Ocean. I know I'm partial, but the North Sea 33 is one damn good looking pilothouse sailboat!

So did you have the over on Sunday? Did you take the Giants and the points? What action did you have on New York receiver Mario Manningham? The New York Giants 21-17 win in Super Bowl XLVI was to gambling what Simon Cowell is to bad singing. A TV magnet. An irresistible draw to millions of North American viewers to lose any semblance of human dignity in the the pursuit of riches and fame.
Here at Usual Suspects, sports media purveyor, it's not enough for us to fret over touchdowns and field goals. We're made of sterner stuff. To us, Super Bowl meant playing the odds on the stage directions of the big game. Madonna. Kelly Clarkson. Lea Michele. Yes, betting on the production values of the NBC game telecast via the proposition bets available. Could the mere mention of No. 1 draft prospect Andrew Luck of Stanford by Bob Costas of NBC (over/ under 1) make us rich, rich, RICH! (In the end it didn't.)
We started simply enough, taking the possible record American TV audience for the game. With teams from two of the top Five local TV markets in the U.S. playing, the over/ under number offered was a record 117 million homes. We won't know till today, but assuming the game would stay close we liked the over.
We finally achieved traction with Kelly Clarkson's national anthem. Would she show off her belly (+300)? Would she wear an Super Bowl/ NFL shirt (+300)/ Colts jersey (+500)/ Patriots jersey (+700)/ Giants jersey (+1500)/ Anything else (-300). How long would she take to sing The Star Spangled Banner (over/ under 1:34)? Would she go all Christina Aguilera and muff the words (Yes +225)? How long would the Texas native hold the word "brave" at the end (over 5 seconds -110).
To prepare, we scouted Clarkson's anthem chops on YouTube from appearances at Game 3 of the 2010 AL Playoffs and the NBA Finals in Dallas. Both times came in at 1:33. "O say can you see..." the Under? Likewise, Kelly's a pro, not prone to draw blanks on "the rockets' red glare" so we passed an the Aguilera factor. We did jump the under-five seconds on the word "brave". Because it's the anthem, we thought Kelly would opt for a conservative wardrobe, too.
How did it go? If you had no tummy, no Aguilera moment, "the brave" at under 5 seconds you're a winner. The entire thing at 1:34 was a push (tie). Like Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers on the pregame show, Clarkson did a great job.
AARP member Madonna was the halftime fare (after referring to herself in the third person with Bob Costas). How would she accessorize? Blonde (-250) Yup. Another hair colour (+250)? Nope. Fishnet stockings? Nein. Would she start the show using a headset (-300) or hand-held microphone (+200)? Headset, folks. The Material Mom stumbled around and looked lame but there was no prop for that. We wished there was a prop on whether she'd flown in on Virgin Airways.
Many pet props involved name-dropping by NBC's Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth and camera choices from the NBC producers. Would Collinsworth mention injured Indianapolis QB Peyton Manning once in the first quarter? (No) In fact,How many times in total would Peyton's name come up during the telecast (over/ under 3.5)? Peyton got just one in-game mention and no camera love. How many times would his boss, Colts irascible owner Jim Irsay be mentioned (over/ under 1)? Sorry, Jim, no soup for you from NBC.
Then there were cameos. How many times would Tom Brady's wife Giselle Bundchen appear on camera? (Only sighting 6 minutes into Q1) Would their son be wearing a Brady No. 12 Patriots jersey? No sign of Brady Jr.. This being Indiana, would homeboys Larry Bird, David Letterman or Bobby Knight make live appearances (yes: -120/ No: -120)? Again no signs of any of them.
Betting on production cues is a funny way to make a living on Super Bowl Sunday. But if you took a run at the unders on TV props you probably had a good night.
Proud As Peacock
NBC leveraged its coverage across every one of its platforms. Every NBC sitcom was represented against the Super Bowl logo. David Feherty's Golfchannel show was live in Indy. Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock hosted the NFL Awards. The judges from The Voice broke out their cliches, and every NBC face monkey took a turn in a faux-musical number called The Brotherhood of Man. All worth it, however, to hear Tina Fey say, "Is a Clydesdale going to kick a beer at Betty White or something?"

SAPPORO – The first shinkansen bullet train line directly linking Hokkaido with Honshu officially opened Saturday, promising faster travel times between cities on the two islands and introducing slick new cars.
The Hayate 91 was the first scheduled train to run on a section of the new Hokkaido Shinkansen Line, leaving Shin-Aomori Station in Aomori Prefecture for Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto terminal in Hokkaido at 6:32 a.m.
It was followed by the Hayabusa 10, which left from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto at 6:35 a.m., traveling in the opposite direction, where it arrived at Tokyo Station shortly after 11 a.m.
According to operators Hokkaido Railway Co. and East Japan Railway Co., the high-speed trains running on their two lines between Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto and the capital will take as little as four hours and two minutes.
This cuts the current shortest travel time from the port city of Hakodate to Tokyo by 53 minutes when including a commute on a local line needed to get from Hakodate Station to the shinkansen terminal.
The Hakodate Liner local train can shuttle passengers between Hakodate and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto stations in as little as 15 minutes.
Travel from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto to Shin-Aomori is now just a 61 minute ride. Other major stops on the combined line include Morioka in Iwate, now just a one hour and 50 minute trip from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, and Sendai, a two hour and 30 minutes ride.
The train uses the undersea Seikan Tunnel linking Hokkaido with Aomori. The tunnel opened in 1988 and until recently was used by overnight train services. The line through the tunnel is also shared with local trains.
Hiroyuki Sato, 52, who traveled with his family on the first train from Tokyo to see relatives in Hokkaido, said, "We have been using planes until now, but we want to use the shinkansen frequently because travel is more enjoyable" on a train.
The first high-speed trains arrived at their destinations on time.
Takuro Yamazaki, 31, who rode the first shinkansen from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto with his wife and son, liked the comfort of the new train.
"The ride was quieter than the local train even when running through the Seikan Tunnel," he said.
Some of the services on the just-opened shinkansen line will use new JR Hokkaido H-5 rolling stock in regular cars that feature a purple-striped exterior and snowflake-patterned flooring, the operators said.
A total of 32 trains ran in both directions Saturday, including specialized trains.
Last month, tickets for the first Tokyo-bound service from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto sold out in 25 seconds, while tickets for the first service going in the opposite direction were snapped up in 30 seconds, according to JR Hokkaido and JR East.
Ahead of Saturday's launch, Hokkaido Railway President Osamu Shimada said in an interview that the company hopes to attract users to the new bullet train service by facilitating increased exchanges between people in Hokkaido with people in the Tohoku region.
He said the company also expects to see a pick up in demand from overseas tourists.
"I hear that foreign visitors wish to travel on Japan's shinkansen trains," he said.
Shimada was involved in the abolition of ferry services connecting Hokkaido with Honshu in line with the 1988 opening of the Seikan Tunnel.
While discussing the difficulties encountered during construction, Shimada pointed out that special methods were required to build a rail line that could be shared by both shinkansen trains and ordinary freight and passenger trains.
He also stressed that safety was a priority, noting the company painstakingly tested equipment that will be used in the event of an evacuation.
"We have made a great effort to create a corporate culture that puts the priority on safety," said Shimada, who took up his post two years ago following a series of safety scandals at JR Hokkaido. "The (era of) safety awareness has arrived."

This is a paraphrase or my edited version, you can see the entire article online.
Gill nets are killing thousands of ducks and other water birds.
Diving ducks, grebes, and loons are especially vulnerable on the East Coast of the United States and Canada. The highest reports of accidental catch are of Scaup, but mortality includes Ruddy Ducks, goldeneyes, mergansers, Canvasbacks, scoters, and Long-tailed Ducks, as well as Common and Red-throated Loons, and, further north, shearwaters, puffins, and gannets.
[b]One fisherman in North Carolina reported catching up to 300 Scaup in a single night, and another said that he removed his nets after he began to catch up to a hundred scaup per day for two or three days in a row.[/b]
Multiply this by the total number of fishermen, and it is clear that the threat is potentially large.
As migratory seabirds move from north to south in the winter, many stop to feed in North Carolina's inshore waters. These same waters are home to winter gillnet fisheries for shad, southern flounder, sea trout, monkfish, and various other species.
The commercial and recreational gillnet fisheries in North Carolina are subject to some regulations restricting fishing areas, seasons, and gear specifications, primarily to protect sea turtles, but generally, North Carolina lags behind its Atlantic seaboard neighbors in mandating comprehensive restrictions. For example, unattended gillnets are illegal in South Carolina, whereas in North Carolina, attendance at gillnets is only mandatory in certain locations and for certain sizes of mesh. As a result, gillnets are often left unattended for long periods of time, increasing the probability of both accidentally catching birds, and the
likelihood that entangled birds will drown.
Efforts to better monitor these deaths are hampered by gaps in the commercial gillnet observer program, which lacks long-term sustainable funding.
Changing the color of the upper panel of the net reduced bird bycatch significantly, but by far the best overall mitigation was achieved when these gear modifications were combined with restrictions on fishing in the early morning, and limits on the number of days that the nets were active.

Les Barbanell, "Breaking the Addiction to Please: Goodbye Guilt"
English | ISBN: 0765706741 | 2009 | 175 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Many people are responsible for taking care of an aging parent, an ailing spouse, or a handicapped child and do so out of love, devotion, or obligation, and many others have caretaking occupations in the areas of nursing, social work, counseling, and so on. But there are other less benign caretakers in our midst. These people have an excessive need to be needed, and they assume the caretaking role not out of love, obligation, or choice of profession but due to unconscious motivations over which they have little control. This addiction to pleasing others can be as debilitating as substance addictions.
Les Barbanell shows that this addiction, which he calls "caretaker personality disorder," masks psychological conflicts and can be a self-destructive force leading to exhaustion, emptiness, even suicide. Barbanell provides strategies for learning to say no, retraining one's focus from others to oneself, gaining freedom from past traumas and abuse, and learning to express rather than repress feelings in order to find a balance between kindness and a pathological level of selflessness. This book is a must-read for those suffering from the addiction to please, their families, and psychotherapists and counselors who work with them.
Praise for Les Barbanell's Removing the Mask of Kindness
"Barbanell delineates the pathological side of selflessness and argues, as the title suggests, that kindness can serve as a psychological mechanism for concealing emotional problems....The author effectively charts the defining characteristics of a heretofore-unrecognized diagnostic category: caretaker personality disorder (CPD). ...Recommended." -CHOICE
"Les Barbanell reveals a new and shocking defense mechanism that individuals use to hid psychological conflicts. The caretaker personality disorder helps explain why an accommodating, sacrificing individual, who is always concerned with others, can end up miserable and feeling incomplete. A must read for anyone in the helping professions."

As the trailer says, Idolm@ster 2 is slated for spring 2011. Probably more amusing than the official trailer is this Idolm@ster 2 episode starring the Xbox Mission Division.

IT's enough to make most of her rivals tumble head-first over their handlebars.
But Olympic 2012 cycling hopeful Victoria Pendleton shows it is possible to look stunning while performing acrobatics on two wheels.
The 30-year-old from Bedfordshire, who won sprint gold at the last Games in Beijing, likes to look her best when competing.
She said: "When I started racing internationally I would look at the other girls and think, 'My gosh, do I have to cut my hair off and get big to show I'm committed?'
"But I have to sit in my room for hours before I compete, and there's nothing to do. So I get my eyeliner perfectly straight or do my hair. I enjoy a good dress-up and wouldn't want to change that for the world."
Give that girl a medal.

In these times of great economic uncertainty, coupled with the hardships of the approaching winter weather, landlords need more trouble like a hole in the head.
So paying attention to good property management: fire precautions, the subject of this Newsletter, freezing pipes and damp / condesation problems, the subject of our next issue, makes a great deal of sense.
Fire regs and risk assessments apply mainly to commercial and HMO landlords but everyone should be fire safety concious where tenants are concerned, if they want to head off trouble.
We've added a couple of useful resources to our LandlordZONE document downloads this month – one, a Cold Weather Letter, reminding tenants of the precautions needed to prevent bursts, and secondly a Condensation Letter which explains to tenants the causes of condensation and what to do to avoid it. Both these FREE resources can be downloaded here:
Since we started LandlordZONE back in 1999 we have had a policy of keeping direct e-mails to our member base to a minimum – usually one mail-out per month.
However, our advertisers increasingly favour direct e-mails, so in response to many requests we have decided to increase the frequency of our mail-outs in a strictly limited way.
We want to respect the privacy of our members, but at the same time keep advertisers happy – they are after all the "bread and butter" of a free resouce like ours.
We have therefore scheduled just 2 mails per week for 2012 – first a LandlordZONE Update which goes out around 11am every Tuesday morning and carries up to ten logo ad slots. This will Update members on new site content, news and latest Forum posts
Secondly, just one Solus Mail Shot (single...

If the tea parties can do it, so can the progressives.
Such was the message to some 300 unapologetic progressives who filled the seats and lined the walls two rows deep at a west-side YWCA at the inaugural meeting of the Tucson chapter of the Progressive Democrats of America.
With liberals underwhelmed by some of the deals made in Washington over the health-care overhaul and tax cuts, the crowd in attendance hissed at a reference to Wisconsin's Republican governor, cheered at mentions of universal health care and clucked in dismay at programs being slashed in federal budget cuts pushed by the new crop of congressional freshmen.
Carole Edelsky, a 73-year-old retired professor, for example, was one attendee who said the progressive wing doesn't have a strong enough voice within the Democratic Party. "It needs to be louder, stronger and bigger," she said, adding that she hoped the gathering would be a step in establishing momentum and a unified message.
And much like the tea parties that thumbed their collective noses at the Republican establishment, the group had a message for its own party leaders: We're sick of compromising.
"We are not the Demo-cratic Party," said Tim Carpenter, the organization's executive director. "We are what we want the Demo-cratic Party to become.
"We are the insurgency inside the Democratic Party," he said to cheers.
U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, speaking before columnist and radio commentator Jim Hightower, said he worries the Senate will compromise on what he called the "horrible" budget priorities outlined by Republicans. "It is not about fiscal responsibility," he maintained. "It is purely and simply an ideological document."
He encouraged the crowd to have a "robust response" to such congressional actions, saying it's going to take revisiting tax loopholes and subsidies as well as the "ill-fated engagement" in Afghanistan if the government is to have enough money to close the deficit and adequately fund education and health care.
Insisting that a majority of Americans support progressive values, Grijalva predicted the new crop of conservatives will overreach. "The euphoria of the tea party is short-lived," he said to applause.
But he said it's going to mean progressives not only have to sell their positions to their neighbors, but it also might mean contradicting the party leadership and the White House.
"The next Democratic majority in Congress will be progressive, independent and above all, beholden more to the constituents who put us there than the interests that want us out."

28 Nov 2008: The Waterproof Guide To Scuba SexSCUBA diving sex. A how and when guide: COUPLES often write into his column, asking for advice about how to have sex while scuba diving. Basically, although popular, scuba sex is not recommended. Potential problems include the inhalation of water droplets in horizontal positions (which can lead to chocking), keeping cumbersome equipment in the vertical position, losing buoyancy control when excited, and being unaware of the increased oxygen consumption required. Stage 2: If you do wish to have scuba sex, then equipment should always be kept to a minimum. A full wetsuit is not practical, particularly if the zip is on the back. Balance is critical, as trying to grab hold of rocks or coral during sex can cause injury to the diver, and can damage delicate coral reefs. Stinging organisms, spiky sea urchins, stone fish, and scorpion fish are to be particularly avoided. Finally make sure your partner knows the difference between your signs of distress and your signs of excitement. Thrashing about with your arms and legs could be an ambivalent signal. So if you feel you are in danger, we recommend a punch to your partner's groin. That signal will not be mistaken – British Journal of Sexual Medicine 2008, vol. 31 No underwear required… …Source

17 Nov 2008: Man from York County dies in Fla. diving accidentRobin Hartranft of Dallastown said her husband agreed to call before he'd go off on one of his dangerous diving outings. Before he went diving last week, Joseph Christian Hartranft left a message for her and their two youngest daughters. He said he loved them, and he'd call back when he returned safely. That second call never came. The bodies of Joseph Christian Hartranft, 52, and Yessic Kozay Spencer, 42, were found Wednesday evening in the School Sink, a popular cave diving destination in west Florida. The two had been exploring underwater caves. Hartranft and Spencer, a Marine who was stationed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, had been missing since Tuesday.

6 Nov 2008: Another diver dies off the KeysA dive accident claimed the life of a Clearwater man Saturday off the Middle Keys. The death of John Taylor, 67, was the second dive-related death in Keys waters in a three-day period this week. According to initial reports from the Monroe County Sheriffs Office, Taylor was diving with his girlfriend as his dive buddy off the commercial boat Seafari from Duck Key. While underwater, Taylor reportedly signaled her that he was low on air and surfaced. His girlfriend said Taylor fell unconscious and sank beneath the surface. The pair apparently had drifted some distance from the boat. The boat crew called for assistance when the couple didn't return as scheduled from the afternoon dive. Other boaters and divers began searching, and the woman was located about a mile from the dive boat, according to initial reports. Divers found Taylors body on the sea floor. It was brought to shore and turned over to the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy. …Source

5 Nov 2008: Diver died after surfacing too quickly, inquest toldAN INQUEST has heard how a 49-year-old English woman died at the start of a diving holiday with her family off the Magharee Islands, off Co Kerry, last year, when she surfaced too quickly. On August 6th, 2007, they set off for their first day's dive with a group from the Harbour House Diving Centre, Fahamore, in Castlegregory, Co Kerry. They had booked to go diving twice a day for the next five days. The first dive by the group of 12 went well and after a rest of about half an hour they moved further along the coast to the area known locally as "The Post Box" off the islands of the Magharees. However, during this second dive, the dive leader lost sight of the family, made them resurface after a short time and checked their air and then told Mr and Mrs Wiggins to form a buddy pair. They descended again to 15m below water but "lost buoyancy". Janice went "straight to the top", while Mr Wiggins rested at 5m from the top, and after two to three minutes he joined his wife on the surface. She had become tired and he went to offer her support but she sank out of sight and grabbed his regulator. Mr Wiggins said they were not experienced divers. He also said he was satisfied the dive crew did all that was necessary. The dive boat was alongside immediately and Mrs Wiggins was found within minutes lying on her back on the sea bed. The regulator was not in her mouth and her oxygen tank was empty, the inquest was told. She was given emergency oxygen and resuscitation all the way to the shore, but at about 2.30pm she was pronounced dead at the diving centre. …Source

News and Rumors
Toronto Asked For Neil Walker in Return For Adam Lind
News and Rumors
Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Toronto Blue Jays were approached by the Pittsburgh Pirates about first baseman Adam Lind, but that talks quickly fizzled when the Blue Jays asked about Neil Walker in return. Earlier today we heard a rumor that the Pirates were exploring trade options, including Lind. That was the second time the Pirates had been linked to Toronto's first baseman.
Davidi says that Toronto isn't looking to move Lind, but that they've checked on some of the other available free agents and trade options on the market in the event they could find a trade partner. It sounds like they are going for the classic "trade a player for a big return, then replace him with someone of equal value for an overall net profit" plan that you see on blogs and message boards. It's...

The ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature
The tariff nomenclature under Section 1611 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA), which adopted the provisions of Section 104 of the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines (TCCP), as amended, is currently based on the 2012 version of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (or AHTN).
The AHTN is an eight-digit commodity nomenclature adopted by the ASEAN Member States (AMSs), namely, Brunei Darussalam, Kingdom of Cambodia, Republic of Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Union of Myanmar, Republic of the Philippines, Republic of Singapore, Kingdom of Thailand, and Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, to harmonize their tariff nomenclatures at the eight-digit level. It adheres to the six-digit commodity classification code of the Harmonized Commodity Classification and Coding System, or Harmonized System (HS), of the World Customs Organization (WCO) but adds two digits that represent ASEAN subheadings. The AHTN is intended to facilitate trade among AMSs by helping reduce disputes and differences in the classification of products that are not clearly specified at the six-digit level of the HS.
The AHTN is comprised of the (1) General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, (2) Section, Chapter and Subheading Notes, and (3) list of headings and subheadings with their corresponding rates of duty. The Protocol Governing the Implementation of the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN Protocol), which took effect on 7 August 2003, requires AMSs to apply the AHTN up to the eight-digit level for all trade transactions for tariff, collection of statistical data and other purposes.1 However, AMSs are also allowed to create their own national subheadings beyond the eight-digit level and, as a body, amend the AHTN under the Protocol's amendment procedures. To reflect its national requirements, e.g., quota allocations, the Philippines introduced alphabetical codes beyond the eight-digit AHTN.
In cases of disputes among the AMSs in the interpretation and application of the Protocol, the Protocol provides that such disputes be settled amicably among the AMSs concerned. If settlement cannot be reached, the case should be referred to the ASEAN Directors-General of Customs, the body charged with monitoring, reviewing and supervising the implementation of the AHTN Protocol. If there is still no settlement, the case should be endorsed to the ASEAN Finance Ministers Meeting.
The HS 2012, and AHTN 2012, entered into force on 01 January 2012. As a Contracting Party to the International HS Convention, the Philippines is required to implement HS amendments. Further, under the AHTN Protocol, AMSs are obliged to abide by the HS, including its legal texts and amendments.
Following approval by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board on 18 September 2012, and issuance by the Bureau of Customs of Customs Memorandum Circular No. 262-2012 on 16 November 2012, the Philippines is now implementing the 2012 version of the AHTN.
1 The Second Protocol to amend the AHTN Protocol was signed on 08 April 2010 in Viet Nam.

Our hope for every woman is to possess a deep and abiding love of the triune God, a firm grasp of the gospel of Jesus Christ, an understanding of God's wonderful design in creating her to reflect his image in a distinctly feminine way, and a heart to employ her gifts in loving and serving others at home, in the church, and in our community.
As a women's ministry, we want to play a part in helping this come to pass. We believe that as women we are uniquely called and gifted to help one another reflect the gospel (Titus 2:3-5). Under the oversight of the elders, we desire to complement the efforts of the other ministries of the church as we provide opportunities where women can connect with one another, teach one another, learn from one another, and serve one another.
Please check out some of the plans we have for this year. While we understand that not every event is right for every woman all the time, it is our prayer that you will find some of them to be a means of strengthening and encouraging you in your walk with the Lord!

1. Torque output on the new 2L is up over the outgoing 2.5L. Hopefully Subaru recognized that the increase in torque should be coupled with stronger drivetrain components. Of course, that was not the case in 2006, and if it's within reasonable tolerance, they won't spend the R&D.
2. In one of the initial reviews (don't recall the source), SOA informed the reviewer during a hard launch "not to worry" and that "the transmission could take it." That is comforting, to a degree.
3. From my own observation, it seems that the underbody shots of the 2015 WRX reveal a shorter bell-housing on the transmission, which may have necessitated the switch to cable-linkage. While this doesn't necessarily mean the transmission will be stronger, it points to the fact that Subaru may have intentionally reduced the input shaft length, which remedies a problem with the 5MT. Not a strong argument; just an observation.
I highly doubt the new 6MT is as strong as the 6MT in the STi. Subaru still refers to the STi 6MT as its "heavy duty transmission," suggesting that the value proposition for the STi may still be the transmission. If the new 6MT is even as strong as the outgoing 5MT, color me happy. I suppose it's up to us early-adopters to find out, perhaps the hard way

How you feel about Reina Kunti will depend in part on how you feel about cats roaming freely in restaurants. If you don't mind the moggies, you'll love this cult Indian veggie restaurant which does a pretty authentic - for Buenos Aires - rendition of sub-continental street food: kachoris, pakoras, koftas and so on. The design aesthetic is beach-after-a-shipwreck, with pirate chests, wine barrels and antique sewing machines doubling as tables. Puddings are more old deli than New Delhi: round off your feast with a Simply Marvellous truffle and a sharp, strong coffee.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Punk rock is a cyclical beast. It tends to blow up big once every decade, only to slink back into the shadows and reinvent itself before emerging once again. The same could be said for the Valley's punk scene, which has endured its fair shares of ebb and flow over the past 30-odd years as bands break up and bars close, only to be replaced by fresh faces or different venues. To wit: While punkers suffered through the loss of such landmark bars as Jugheads or Rogue West in recent years, they've recently embraced the Eastside Tap as a frequent destination. Probably because it has the hallmarks of a great punk spot: a divey feel, PBR and Hamm's on tap or in cans, and a diverse jukebox loaded up with everything from psychobilly to ska. More important, owner Johnny Tabeek has started bringing in local bands that rock a rebellious vibe, whether it's the three-chord vulgarity of Dirty Hairy and Gunrunners, the rockabilly strains of 13 to the Gallows, or the outlaw alt-country of Adam Lee Cogswell. Fittingly, the joint is just down the street from the old Jugheads, which means punks will be in familiar territory when visiting the Eastside Tap.
By the middle of the summer of 2012, we were choking on dust and dying of thirst. Suddenly, it occurred to us: If New Orleans can have the Hurricane, what's stopping Phoenix from creating her own cocktail homage to the haboob? And so we set forth on a bar-to-bar quest to find the bartender who could make our dream come true. It happened at Lon's, where Alexandria Bowler created a drink so unique — and so fitting — it deserves italics in its name. Bowler kindly provided us with her recipe for The Haboob. You're welcome.• 2.5 ounces of High Spirits Gin• .75 ounces of cactus blossom syrup• 1 ounce of lemon juice• three dashes of mole bittersShake with orange flower water and chamomile dust. Enjoy.
The world of whiskey is wide. Nearly every country that produces grain also makes its own version of the dark liquor, and with thousands of different varieties, styles and brands available, it's easy to get lost in your travels. Old Town Whiskey's collection of bottles is no less daunting — the restaurant's library of more than 100 whiskey varieties is one of the most comprehensive in the state — but there's no better place to make your way through every single one. The décor evokes an upscale version of a Western saloon, where cowboys would kick back the firewater with ease, and with flights of one-ounce tasters available for a set price, soon you will be, too. That Iron Chef Jose Garces lends his own talents to the food menu — which includes duck fat fries, pickled seasonal vegetables, burgers, and steak — is just a perk.
Really, gin made tableside? Flaming shakers of Jameson? Can Richie Moe, Kris Korf, and crew get any more creative with their cocktails? Could anyone?! The Citizen Public House folks decided to make good use of an old VIP room by turning it into a speakeasy-style bar that serves cocktails you most definitely will not find anywhere else. If you're one of the lucky 30 to get in, you must try the Tableside G & T or the impressive Black Blazer, made with Jameson whiskey, black strap molasses rum, and maple syrup. The concoction is lit on fire and mixed until it reaches a beautifully sweet, boozy glaze that is poured over ice and topped with a float of fresh whipped cream and orange zest. It comes with a $17 price tag, but the show itself is worth the price, and the flavors are unforgettable.
Rumor has it there's a cool, skinny chola at the bar. No need to size her up or whistle too loud; this chick keeps it real and authentic without the unnecessary mixes and syrups. Yep, she's the skinny, fresh face of a kick-ass margarita with all the essential ingredients — Jose Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Silver Tequila, agave nectar, and lime juice — and without the diet-driven hype. True, her complex flavors make her a little hard to read. And if you ask for her to touch a blender, she might show you some serious chola attitude. But if you've had a rough day or are in the mood to celebrate, head over to Barrio Queen and find her. There's no better chola to have by your side.
WTF is a Pickle Back? That's probably what you're asking yourself right about now. We're about to tell you, but we need you to open your mind way up, so hear us out on this one. A Pickle Back isn't a shot of pickle juice mixed with something gross like tequila or ranch dressing, and it doesn't have any actual pickles in it whatsoever. It's more of a drink combo like a Lady Boy (gin and tonic, Bailey's, and a beer) or a bloody Mary with a sidecar (small beer). The Pickle Back is made up of three parts — one can of PBR, one shot of Jameson, and one shot of pickle juice — but you keep them all separate. Do not mix them together. Combining them into one drink may cause the world to explode (or leave a bad taste in your mouth). Once you have your three items in front of you, take the shot of Jameson, then chase it with the pickle juice (just do it; it's actually tasty and it takes away that pesky whiskey burn) and then sip on PBR. Try it, you might like it! Particularly at Kitchen 56, where they do it just right.
