We all do it. We make this resolution to either lose weight, be healthy, get fit,etc.,etc.,etc. The gyms are full in January and taper off fairly soon after that. Most resolutions are fairly unattainable for someone who doesn't work out on a regular basis to start. But...YOU have to start somewhere. Start today with making lifestyle changes! These changes will happen over time and you'll be able to keep them too. For example, my husband and I have made it a point to try not to eat processed foods. For the most part we don't buy many food items in the center of the grocery store( the bad section). I try to make everything from scratch,but I'm not Martha Stewart-so there are a few items I don't know how to substitute. This might be too much to change for some of you right now, but start small and you will eventually not want the items you are taking out of your diet. You will also feel better, I know I did. Here are some ideas to start you on your path to a great diet...1) Eat 6 small meals a day,not 3 huge meals--Smaller meals will help to jumpstart your metabolism - 2) Drink 64oz. of water a day- most people are dehydrated which causes you to retain water - 3) Cut out the soda and energy drinks--These also dehydrate your body. Now,what about exercise? Most people hate to exercise. But that's because they don't exercise regularly. Once you make an initiative to workout on a consistent schedule, you will start to miss working out and you will feel worse when you don't work out. Sounds weird doesn't it? To start exercising, find an activity that YOU LIKE TO DO, and DO IT!! If you don't like what you're doing in your workouts, you won't work out- simple as that. Try to start with working out 4-5 times a week for 30-45 minutes, change your diet and you have already made small changes to be a healthier you!

Analysis by leading Hong Kong business incorporation portal GuideMeHongKong.com shows that the rebounding Chinese manufacturing sector could eventually help Hong Kong overtake cities such as New York and London as the preferred destination for global business.
Hong Kong (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Data released by the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing's monthly purchasing managers' index (PMI) improved to 50.6 on a scale of 100. It was the second consecutive month of growth in the manufacturing sector, signaling that the country is on its way to recovering from its biggest slump since 2008. Separate data released by HSBC also supported the positive growth numbers.
The Chinese manufacturing sector is vital not only to China, but the entire world. A large percentage of global trade involves goods made in China which are sent to consumer-driven countries such as the US. Most of the world's largest multinational companies, which are typically based in Europe or North America, have strong interests in the Chinese manufacturing sector.
As a former British colony and current Chinese SAR, Hong Kong is in prime position to benefit from a resurgent Chinese economy. The influence of China as a manufacturing hub and as the world's second largest economy has led to the emergence of many cash-rich Chinese companies. However, most of these companies do not have any international brand recognition with investors. As a result, they turn to Hong Kong.
"Mainland Chinese companies looking to get some international exposure, whether it be through better product visibility or simply to build a network of investors, usually choose to set up a company in Hong Kong because of its status as a global financial and business hub," said Ms. Jacqueline Low, Chief Operating Officer of Janus Corporate Solutions, a leading Hong Kong company incorporation services firm and the parent company of GuideMeHongKong.
"Western companies are scrambling to penetrate the Chinese market. The easiest way in for many businesses, especially SMEs, is to form a company in Hong Kong," she continued. "Many are looking to get into Hong Kong and ride the wave of economic growth. Essentially, Hong Kong is getting the best of both worlds."
"There are also plenty of other benefits of doing business in Hong Kong, and these have been duly recognized by top global institutions. For example, Hong Kong was recently named as 'the world's freest economy' in the annual Economic Freedom of the World report due to its dynamic, enterprise-friendly policies and Hong Kong's low-tax regime. When you consider the potential of doing business in China, combined with operating in what could be the world's best business environment, it makes for a very attractive situation for any company to come to Hong Kong," concluded Ms. Low.

I went out on a limb and purchased this tub sight unseen and with no reviews. I held my breath and prayed that it would arrive and function properly and to our expectations. I had a unique area where i needed a freestanding tub. I also really wanted jets. This is the only tub that i could find that fit the bill. I am happy to report that the tub is amazing. The jets are really powerful. The cromotherapy light is really cool. I thought I wouldn't care much for a colored light but in fact its a great feature. The radio is loud and again a great feature. There is no MP3 jack just a standard am/fm radio. Cons about the tub. The handheld fixture is cheezy. You will want to replace it but it's easy and relativly inexpensive to do. You just buy the one you want and screw it on. The tub fills through a drain on the side of the tub. It takes quiet a while to fill up and must fill above the jets before the jets will operate. I didn't get one but a sperate tub filler would be a great addition. We did have some damage upon arrival. The overflow drain line leaked. My plummer was able to fix the problem and have me up and running in no time. Overall I would buy the tub again. Its a great tub especially for the price.

Student Studio
Teenie Harris had a photography studio where he took portraits of people. Compare several of Teenie Harris's studio portraits to make observations about how he used props, lighting, and backdrops to pose his sitters.
Define portrait. Ask if students have ever had their portrait taken? (School photographs, for example.) What was that experience like? Did you like the results? Why or why not?
Create a studio in your classroom to experiment with different photographic techniques. Students can be both the photographer and the sitter for a range of photographs.
Set up stations to explore a variety of photography techniques, such as point of view, lighting, composition, subject's body position/eye contact, etc.
Discuss definitions of these words, as well as their impact on the viewer. Use examples of Teenie Harris and Picturing the City photographs at each station to illustrate these techniques.
Print and share the photographs. What do students notice about their photographs? Were they successful in using the techniques?
What was the experience like to be a photographer? To be the subject of the photograph? Did the artist capture something about your identity?

The SCVAL de Anza all-star team has 5 Quarterbacks getting "First Team" or better (MVP and Outstanding)!!. In total, there have to be more than 60 names getting "First team" or better. Do football teams still use 11 players on each side, with a few specialists (K, punter, returners, utility). Selecting all-stars usually requires tough choices. Here, there were no choices. Might be easier to list who didn't get awards in the SCVAL de Anza division. Go SHP!
Posted by PALY Guy, a member of the Palo Alto High School community, on Dec 5, 2012 at 9:42 am
Hey Tom...
You know how many SHP players would be 2nd string in the DEANZA....too many to list. While the DAL list may have many names, this league is the strongest in CCS besides WCAL. Enjoy you DIV title but keep your opinions in the weak PAL league!
Posted by Tony Mustam, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Dec 5, 2012 at 11:01 am
Hey PALY guy,
I was trying to be diplomatic...there are actually more than 75 players named "First Team" or better; 5 QBs, 12 DLinemen; 12 LBs..the list goes on. I don't know how many SHP players would be Second team in the DAL - my guess is that all DAL players, other than the almost 80 named "First Team" or better, are on the "Second team" It's not about stronger/weaker, it's about integrity. Don't make the all-star process a joke (13 OLinemen! - ribbons for everyone). The PAL-Bay has only 28 different players named First Team or better - seems a bit closer to reality.

Good job Milpitas for a great year! Next year should be even better.
Posted by Crescent Park Dad, a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Dec 5, 2012 at 1:02 pm
I read Tony's comments as he intended.
The old-school standard for all-league honors was that you had 11 individuals named to the offense first team, 11 to defense and then a small group for special teams. Then you repeated the process for second team. Honorable mention was then just a catch all list.
However, my impression is that the SCVAL has moved away from that model and places both 1st and 2nd team on the 1st team - they don't have a 2nd team any longer.
Posted by Willie, a member of the Palo Alto High School community, on Dec 5, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Things have changed over the years. Use to be there were 8 leagues. Winner of each league went to CCS playoffs. Everybody else went home. Now they have 40 teams make the playoffs. Teams with losing records make playoffs. It's about making money these days.
Posted by Crescent Park Dad, a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Dec 6, 2012 at 1:23 pm
@ Willie: I disagree with your end-game statement.
The playoffs cost money - they do not make a profit on it at all, it is a net money loser until the CIF pays the cost differential - which comes from membership fees.
I agree that sub .500 records should not be in the playoffs.
The reason for the multiple divisions is so that you can have a competitive playoff system and where school size is evenly matched. Further, now there is a state championship (just like basketball, women's volleyball, track, tennis) and aligning schools by size (+ open division) ensures competitive games throughout the playoffs. Or would you rather just see De La Salle play Mater Dei every year?
Posted by Football Fan, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood, on Dec 8, 2012 at 9:11 am
While playing SHP, there were a one or two loud, whining dads in the stands that the other SHP parents had to endure) looks like he surfaced again...
Not SCVAL's fault that it has a great crop of players/QB's

How do you pick one from Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, drew Brees? They are all great and deserve a mention esp since it's just high school

One of the best things about being back in Singapore is without a doubt the yummy local food that our little red dot has to offer. It is hardly any secret that we Singaporeans love to eat. Eating is probably our national hobby and because we are so passionate about eating, we can eat at any time of the day! Years ago, when our friends from Slovenia visited us, they were amazed at the amount of food that we could pack in during our 3 meals. After the 3 day visit, they declared that they needed to detox and diet for they had never eaten so much back home. Hehe…
For the past 3 months that we've been away from home, I've been dreaming of Singapore delicacies. To me, the best part of the day will have to be breakfast. I guess nowhere in the world comes quite close to the wide variety of breakfast choices that Singapore has to offer!
So let's go beyond bread/butter/muffins/cereal and let me show you how my day starts with a happy (but ain't so healthy) meal:
Roti Prata is a type of Indian pancake made of flour. It comes with a variety of fillings including egg, cheese, onions or eat. It usually is served with hot curry gravy. I usually like my prata plain, dipped with sugar and curry. Strange, but I like!
蝦麵 or Prawn Noodles is basically noodles served with prawns, pork, kang kong, fried shallots in a rich flavoured dark soup stock made primarily with dried shrimps and plucked heads of prawn. I actually prefer the dry version but as I was still nursing a sore throat, the soup version was more favoured.
Chee Cheong Fun (Rice Noodle Roll) is a thin roll made with rice noodles. You can eat them plain or with different fillings of shrimp, pork and chicken. I usually like mine with a little sesame oil, sweet soy sauce and chilli but I chanced upon a stall at the Marine Terrace Hawker Centre just the other day and decided to order the Fried Chee Cheong Fun home to try. It was so sinful but yummy for it was fried with an egg and topped with oily bits of Chai Poh (salted turnip).
I'm a big fan of the Vegetarian noodles from this particular stall at the Marine Terrace Hawker Centre. My order would always be half portion of the thin braised rice vermicelli noodles and braised instant noodles served with vegetables, various gluten delicacies plus an extra serving of fried tau kee (bean-curd skin).
Another favourite dish of mine that can be eaten at any time of the day – Bak Chor Mee! It's basically thin egg noodlles served with minced pork and fishballs. Served dry with lots of vinegar and chilli is how I enjoy this dish.
When I arrive to work, colleague would buy for me a cuppa Teh (Malay word for tea) O which by the way is great morning beverage to start the day with. And on days when I have the craving, I hop on down to Toast Box and get me a cuppa Teh C Gao Siu Dai (Thick tea with less sugar and evaporated milk).
Feeling hungry already? I know I am just by writing this post! But at least, I can hold on to these memories while chomping on vegetable sticks when I return back to Geneva and start my detox diet.

Letter to the Editor: Where is heartbeat paperwork?
In my letter on Jan. 17, I asked, "What other outrageous, unregulated corporate tax code refunds have we unknowingly been paying out and for how many years?"
Behold! I got my answer from another area publication in their "Politifact Ohio Obameter," which reported that compensation deductions remain in the tax code for corporate leaders.
Here's a more dastardly form of corporate welfare than what I blasted last month!
Loopholes in the corporate tax deductibility of CEO pay! Section 162 9M of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, limits how much executive compensation can be deducted at publicly traded corporations to just $1 million per executive! But this provision has an exception — corporations may deduct "performance based" compensation! Now while shareholders are supposed to approve the compensation, they are not required to receive detailed accounting of these corporate executive compensation plans!
No, Boehner and McConnell, you folks are not done with taxes. Get ready to journey 72,000 pages more! George Will's column of Jan. 30 says "Chesapeake Chesapeake."
Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO Aubrey McLendon's departure will be treated as a "termination without cause, thus entitling him to compensation valued at $53 million!"
But, that poor guy will actually receive "under $50 million" in punishment from corporate! Bruataaal!!
"Money and Investing" a $45.2 million "package" for Jefferies CEO Richard Handler. Struggling American Airlines departing CEO Tom Horton gets $19 million golden parachute! Better not be any bankruptcy court award cash in it! How about "new" Browns Stadium? Any corporate compensation refund cash there? Minimum wage workers at McDonald's, Starbucks, etc., forbidden from accepting tips from customers, while corporate pharohs are allowed to stuff their already overflowing pockets via their corporate welfare scam, hidden in our nation's most costly, unsustainable entitlement program — the 72,000-page tax code. So, what else can these rich vampires write off for refunds? Defending welfare for pharohs of this century is what cost Republicans.
They rushed Ohio SB-5. But fellow Christians, where is the "heartbeat" paperwork? Is it ready, or replaced by a "Right to Work" bill? Priorities.

Here are four pictures from the dirty house wife photo shoot I did with Ivalu Sørensen from Diva Models. We had some extra time after a photo shoot down at Moesgård Strand and decided to do something fairly unromantic. I might be wrong but, I believe her kitchen doesn't look this way everyday. Styling this shoot was Anne Margrethe Rimmer Larsen. I don't encourage anyone to smoke cigarettes, but the photos needed this final touch to give them the right feeling.
Some most of you guys who are a frequent reader might have experienced some problems with entering my Flickr-gallery at www.flickr.com. The reason was that I had published some nude content and hadn't set the right content filters. You might experience such glitches still, but it will be fixed by the end of this week.
Have a nice weekend! I hope to see some of you down at Fotofagskolen this evening at the graduating students graduation exhibition RAW. Free entrance!

My friend and planner extraordinaire Courtney from After the Engagement posted a call for interested vendors on her Facebook page. She wanted to enter a contest to win a spot at an industry conference but needed to style a shoot to enter. I had never been part of a styled shoot before and was curious! I volunteered and the rest was history! She pulled this all together in about 10 days! The contest went live today so I'm able to share the outcome. Her vision was Fabulous + Graceful and her inspiration was a ballerina bride wearing black.
Click here to visit Backstage Bridal and see the feature. If you are able, take a moment to comment on the blog at Backstage Bridal to give Courtney a vote to help her win! You can also see her original inspiration board/colors over there and compare how her vision ended up!
The vendors that all contributed to this photoshoot were fantastic to work with! See below for full list! I'm sharing a few different photos that were posted on the other blog today so I hope you enjoy!

Welcome 2013, Tax Issues, and Minimum Wage Hikes!
Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. 2013 didn't start off slowly, that's for sure -- fiscal cliff anyone? As I'm sure you all know, late last night Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, designed to avoid the dreaded fiscal cliff. What does this mean for employers? In short, lots of payroll updates and tax issues!
Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm not the biggest fan of anything math or numbers related (apologies to my father, a CPA!), and I always defer any tax issues to our corporate/tax attorneys. I did, however, run across across a couple of great articles on the payroll/tax issues, and I thought I'd share with our readers.
First, Forbes published 4 Important 2013 Payroll Updates & Tax Changes for Small Business. It explains important changes with federal income withholding tax, social security, and Medicare that must be dealt with ASAP in payroll. Click here for the article.
Next, local CPA firm Markham Norton Mosteller Wright & Company (a new HR Law & Solutions sponsor!) posted a very detailed update on its blog today. Though much of the post is geared towards individual tax provisions, it addresses many of the business provisions as well. Click here for the post.
If you have specific tax questions, please let me know, and I can put you in touch with one of our corporate/tax attorneys. In addition to the tax/payroll updates, remember the minimum wage in Florida went up on January 1. Make sure you've adjusted payroll accordingly, and posted the updated notices. Check out my prior post (click here) for more information.
Best wishes to all of you for a healthy, prosperous 2013!

Employers added 69,000 jobs in May. That figure was revised Friday to 77,000.

Bull Durham [Blu-Ray]
Director : Ron Shelton
Screenplay : Ron Shelton
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1988
Stars : Kevin Costner (Crash Davis), Susan Sarandon (Annie Savoy), Tim Robbins (Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh), Trey Wilson (Joe Riggins), Robert Wuhl (Larry Hockett), William O'Leary (Jimmy), David Neidorf (Bobby), Danny Gans (Deke), Tom Silardi (Tony), Lloyd Williams (Mickey McFee), Rick Marzan (Jose), George Buck (Mr. Laloosh), Jenny Robertson (Millie), Greg Avellone (Doc), Garland Bunting (Teddy Cullinane)
Ron Shelton's Bull Durham is the rare sports movie that understands the appeal of sports, but never feels the need to boil everything down to a "big game." There are discussions of winning and losing in the film--many of them, in fact--but they are treated like most things in life, which is one small moment in a much larger parade. It is only in the movies that winning a single game means all the world; even the most dedicated sports fan who follows his or her team throughout a season and into the championship knows deep inside that there will be another season of victories and disappointments to follow, and that at some point the seemingly neverending glory of a single victory will become a blip in the history books.
All of that may make Bull Durham sound like a downer, but it is anything but. Using minor league baseball in North Carolina as its backdrop, it is only a few degrees twisted from being an out-and-out raucous sex comedy. You can feel Shelton, who was making his directorial debut after contributing to the screenplay for the political thriller Under Fire and writing the football comedy Best of Times (1986), playing the balance between slapstick, melodrama, and nostalgia, but it's all held together by the central characters' shared love of baseball and sex, and not necessarily in that order. When they talk about either or both, they do it with a sometimes vulgar, but always honest intensity that lets you know they mean what they say, even if the dialogue sounds way too good to be true (Kevin Costner's now infamous speech about what he believes in being the best example).
The story is narrated by Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy, a woman who has made baseball her life after looking for fulfillment everywhere else (she claims to have prayed to Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan and even to Jesus when she discovered that there are the same number of beads in a rosary as there are stitches in a baseball). Each year she takes on a new member of the local Durham Bulls as her lover, and this year she sets her sights on the team's new pitcher Ebby Calvin LaLoosh (Tim Robbins), a tall, oversexed, and dim-witted young buck who nevertheless works his way into our hearts via his sheer lack of guile (it is said that he has a million-dollar arm and a five-cent brain). To shape him up and bring out his true potential, the team brings in Crash Davis (Costner), a 12-year veteran of the minor league system who, in his early 30s, is on the verge of athletic old age and has no chance of breaking into the majors (in the parlance of the players, "going to the show"), but he can't quit he game because he loves it too much.
Thus, Shelton sets up a love triangle of sorts with multiple intersecting conflicts, as Annie and Crash compete to shape Nuke (as Annie christens him) as a baseball wunderkind while Crash and Nuke compete for Annie's attention. Crash and Annie clearly belong together because they are both articulate, intelligent independents who have a few years of wear and tear on them (which makes both of them that much sexier), but Annie can't help but sweep Nuke under her wing and into her bed because he's like an overexcited kid busting at the seams for structure (some of the movie's funniest moments are when he starts to refuse sex because he fears it might ruin his rare winning streak). Shelton, who at one time played for the Baltimore Orioles' farm team and has an ear for how athletes talk and the rhythms of life in the minor league, presents this trio of flawed characters with no apologies and lets them bump off each other, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. Each has his or her own bad tendencies (Crash can be too shrewd and self-absorbed for his own good, Annie can become too myopic in her self-created advisory role with the Bulls, and Nuke is just downright naïve), yet they are all deeply likable, even when they're at their worst.
As a directorial debut, Bull Durham has a strong sense of place and character, even if the film's style is fundamentally bland. That isn't much of a deficit, though, as the performers pick up the slack and run with it (the lack of attention to any aesthetic flourish outside of a memorable soundtrack actually gives them more room to work). For many, this was Costner's breakthrough, even though he had anchored Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987) the year before as the morally unbreachable Elliott Ness; Crash is far removed from Ness's righteousness, but he is morally unbreachable in his own way, and Costner gives him just enough edge and grit to offset his preppy wardrobe and remind us that this is someone who has been around the block and may not have much to look forward to. As Annie, Sarandon channels all of her sexual and comedic energy and manages to turn what in other hands would have been a contrived tart into a woman whose authority is entirely her own, even when she's breathlessly saying "Oh, my" at some man's physical or verbal exploit (the fact that they both carry the same weight with her says quite a bit). And, of course, Tim Robbins, then a relatively minor actor with only a few major films to his credit, steals virtually every scene he's in as Nuke, a character whose shallowness is its own sweet virtue. His physical abandon in the role, which at one point involves a dream sequence in which he's pitching in slow motion wearing nothing but a jock strap and a garter belt, produces some of the film's biggest laughs, although it is ultimately Shelton's sharp sense of how these characters interact and improve each other (both knowingly and unknowingly) that gives the film its impact.
Bull Durham Blu-Ray +DVD Combo Pack | |
| |
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |

Subtitles | English, Spanish, Korean, Cantonese |

Distributor | 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment |
Release Date | August 3, 2010 |
Given that, visually speaking, Bull Durham is a low-key, relatively low-budget film, it is never going to look breathtaking in any medium, but I have to say that the 1080p high-definition transfer on this Blu-Ray has it looking as good as I've ever seen it. Colors remain relatively muted and the image is not particularly bright, partially because so much of the film takes place at night or inside of locker rooms, bars, and buses, but it is notable sharper and better detailed than the previously available DVDs, although black levels are more grayish than not. There is a definite presence of grain throughout the film, but it looks appropriate and is never distracting. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround soundtrack keeps all of the film's razor-sharp dialogue clean and clear and also gives plenty of space for the various rock and blues tunes that help keep the movie's momentum rolling. It is nothing outstanding or particularly memorable, but it certainly gets the job done. | |
The second disc in this two-disc second is a repackaging of the 2008 20th Anniversary Edition DVD, and with the exception of the original theatrical trailer, it is here that all the supplements are housed. We get two lively and informative audio commentaries, one by director Ron Shelton and one by actors Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins, and the only real disappointment here is that, in order to hear them, you have to watch the film in standard def on the DVD. There are also several good featurettes: "The Greatest Show on Dirt: A Look Back at Bull Durham" is a 20-minute retrospective on the film that features interviews with Shelton, a few of the minor cast members, and several sports writers, broadcasters, and coaches; "Diamonds in the Rough," a 15-minute featurette about minor league baseball; and "Between the Lines: The Making of Bull Durham," which runs half an hour and includes interviews with Shelton, Costner, Sarandon, and Robbins, among others. Also on the disc are a couple of featurettes from the original electronic press kit, including a two-minute profile of Costner and "Sports Wrap," a three-minute summary of the movie. |

Spare/Emergency Tire Options
In 2007, I had all five wheels/rims blasted and powder coated (real close to OEM paint color). I then had Goodyear reproduction 7.10-15 bias ply tire mounted. The local Goodyear store found one wheel/rim was bent and could not be balanced. I have this as my spare tire right now.
Now that I am able to drive my '50 Pacemaker - I am in need of a replacement wheel/rim. So, two questions....
1) Who has one for sale? TallentR has one but I am looking to minimize shipping costs to Metro DC.
2) What are my emergency options from the local salvage yard, NTB, Pep Boys, etc...? -
You will find Chrysler products of the same vintage will fit , may not have the guide pin hole if its too new. But you can drill your own. But if you find an old Plymouth or Dodge it should fit,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Tallent R: We spoke regarding a wheel at Gettysburg. How much are you asking for one and what would estimate shipping to be? I will purchase one from you if I am unsuccessful in find one closer.
Zip Code: 22150 -
Ed - a picture and rim size would help. There may be folks in the local chapter that have the correct type/size rim sitting in there garage/shed...
I'm using a mini-spare from a Lincoln Town Car when I need maximum space in the convertible's trunk. It's the largest diameter one I could find; almost same diameter as my 225-75/R15s. Had to drill a hole for the pin, and a "dent", or partial hole at the other 4 locations where the rivets are on the Hudson drum.
I'll weigh one to see what shipping cost would be, what zip code ? I sell stuff like that for $10- $20.00 usualy plus shipping.Depending on condition,
RogerRetired Tech. -
Rick - understood. I do not have any images that are small enough to be uploaded here. I took all HiRes pictures.
I am looking for the standard 15" x 5", 5 lug rim that came standard on a '50 Pacemaker Deluxe.
Park: Thanks for that info. I will add it to my list of parts to look for at the salvage yard. It is nice to have info like this for our cars - just in case. -
Ed - Send me the photos, I'll take care of shrinking and loading them for you -
As an additional FYI - I found four '55 Plymouth Belvedere rims at a local salvage yard (still on the car), fit my '39 Hudson, good enough to at least make it into a 'roller'... -
Have you checked into having your bent wheel straightened? I know a fellow that buys cars for scrap and sells all of the wheels to a wheel shop that in turn cleans and straightens the wheels for resale. I think that he said that his buyer was a "Hubcap Annie" store.
Club Coupe: I will check. I never thought of that. I figured if the Goodyear Pros tell me I need a new one - I need a new one.
Good grief --- I thought the last wheel straightener disappeared decades ago!
Park: I thought the same thing, but that's what he told me. Maybe P-500 will get to the real skinny. But you're 100% right about one thing; it has been decades since I took a hammer and an old brake shoe to a wheel to "fix" it. :)
I don't recall the last time I had heard mention of a wheel straightener either - it has been a LONG time.
FYI - Nowadays, most of the 'wheels' people talk about repairing are alloy wheels of one type or another - pretty expensive to find, buy or replace, especially OE. There are a lot of shops around dedicated to repairing them. -
I know of a wheel shop here, but they focus on alloy wheels. They will straighten, weld, and repair those, not much money in fixing steel wheels.
I would look through your roster for somene with multiple step downs close, they will likely have a wheel or know of someone in the area that does. I got lots of parts for my truck that way. 20-25 seems like going rate for a decent wheel, most of them were riveted too I think. I wouldn't bother fixing one.

Charli Turner Thorne notches 300th win at ASU
The win allowed ASU head coach Charli Turner Thorne to reach a milestone in her successful career. It was Turner Thorne's 300th victory at ASU. She becomes only the third coach in conference history to reach that mark, joining Stanford's Tara VanDerveer (726 wins) and former USC and Washington coach Chris Gobrecht (312 wins).
The Sun Devils were led in scoring by senior Janae Fulcher and sophomore Promise Amukamara, who had nine points each. ASU dominated the second half, outscoring USC 40-17 after trailing 36-20 at the break.
Turner Thorne took over at Arizona State in 1996 after three seasons as the head coach at Northern Arizona University. She's guided the Sun Devils to 11 straight postseasons, including eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Arizona State advanced to the Elite 8 under Turner Thorne in 2007 and 2009.
ASU will look for a sweep and Turner Thorne's 301st Sun Devil victory Sunday in Los Angeles as they visit the 19th-ranked UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion.

- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 7:14 AM Shanghai soars 2.9%, with chatter about plans for speeding up the "urbanization" process coming out of a Poiltburo meeting as good an excuse as any for the big move. Industrial firms (CHII) lead, including Sany Heavy Industry +10% and Anhui Conch Cement +4.8%. Financials shares (CHIX) had a big move after Beijing eliminates a rule limiting investment in banks by insurers. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 11:27 PM Profit declines at Chinese industrial companies accelerate in August, falling 6.2% Y/Y after slipping 5.4% in July and 1.7% in June. Profits have declined 3.8% YTD vs. an increase of 28.2% during the same period in 2011. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 8:15 AM China bears like to point to flatlining electricity output as proof of the country's sharp growth slowdown, but what if it's just signaling a shift to a more services-based economy? Suggesting China has gone from Indonesia last year to Switzerland this year is "a little bit of a reach," says Michael Parker, not buying the argument. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 3:28 AM Profits at Chinese state-owned enterprises fell 11.6% in H1 to 1.02T yuan ($160B), the Ministry of Finance said late yesterday. Private companies are likely to follow suit. Analysts warn investors should be bracing for a hard landing for Chinese stocks, with a big fall likely in H1 corporate profits and outright losses possible for companies in the materials sector (ETF: CHIM), including steel and petrochemical producers. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, July 6, 2012, 7:29 AM Shanghai bucks yesterday's worldwide sell-off, rising 1% following the (somewhat of a) surprise PBOC rate cut. Industrial companies and developers led the gains, but banks tumbled as part of the PBOC move included allowing lenders more room to compete with one another, likely cutting into the cozy relationships that allowed for easy banking profits. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, July 5, 2012, 2:25 AM China's Beige Book, a new private survey of around 2,000 executives and bankers, shows retail sales and manufacturing strengthened last quarter, property sales increased, and 80% of retailers expect higher sales in six months, suggesting an economic pick-up not fully captured in China's official statistics. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 31, 2012, 1:25 AM Chinese stocks will keep rising, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index poised to add 15% by year-end as slowing inflation gives the government room to loosen monetary policy and allows for bank lending to pick up, according to Beijing Gao Hua Securities Co, Goldman Sachs' China partner. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 10:46 AM While the headlines talk about Beijing's resistance to fiscal stimulus, the government approves a proposal allowing significantly greater bond issuance by the Railway Ministry. Investment in railways has plunged this year as the system is plagued with high debt and losses amidst corruption, overbuilding, and other boondoggles. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 12:18 PM China's banks may fall short of their 2012 loan targets, say several officials, thanks to a drying-up in demand from their biggest customers - large state-owned firms. Bank loans dove 33% April and the May figures may be worse, with only ¥34B ($5.4B) advanced through May 20 (¥682B was loaned in April). The news seems to have hit stocks and the aussie dollar, off 40 pips in a few minutes. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 24, 2012, 8:02 AM The majority of steel mills in northern China have halted production, according to an analyst in the coal-trade business, putting more meat behind an earlier story about iron ore and coking coal buyers attempting to back away from orders. Not surprisingly, electricity producers are seeing their own stockpiles of coal grow due to slumping demand for juice. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 10:02 AM A 41% Q1 plunge in nationwide excavator sales is taking a toll on Sany Heavy Industry - China's largest maker of the equipment - even as it takes market share from the likes of CAT. The company's VP warns the sluggish construction market may force the firm to cut its sales target (+41% Y/Y). 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 25, 2012, 8:57 AM The ABB earnings presentation sounds a lot like Caterpillar earnings, where weakness in China is being offset by strength in North America. ABB's order book in China is off 35% Y/Y, up 16% in the U.S. SEB notes the company saying it's uncertain when Chinese demand will recover vs. previously saying it appeared Chinese growth was returning.

- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:08 AM Construction activity appears to have picked up a bit over the past months in China, according to a Standard Chartered Survey. Yet looking at a chart of sharply rising property inventory, one wonders if that's a good thing. As for 2012's big stimulus - social housing - survey respondents believe little if any of these projects are actually new. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 6:59 AM Profits at Chinese industrial companies fell 5.2% Y/Y through the first 2 months of the year, reports the statistics bureau. "Clearly alarming," says economist Chang Jian, of the first drop since 2009. He expects only "measured" policy ease by a government still concerned about perky property. Shanghai fails to participate in the global stock rally, -0.2%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, February 22, 2012, 9:50 AM Train manufacturer China CNR sets a right issue in Shanghai, hoping to raise up to $1.13B, about 35% less than an earlier target as investors have soured on the industry in the wake of July's deadly crash and the rail ministry's mountain of debt. Last month, CNR received a $320M cash injection from the finance ministry. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Sunday, January 1, 2012, 7:58 AM China's official December PMI rises to 50.3, beating estimates of 49.1 and last month's 49.0. The "festival effects" of the western New Year and upcoming Chinese celebrations helped boost the gauge, says the statistics bureau in a statement. HSBC's PMI also rose in December, but remained in contractionary territory at 48.7. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
