Ant Langston has 326 News online.
This impressive milestone was achieved recently by the online Plumbing giant via their eBay store which continues to sell products constantly. On the whole customer response has been very encouraging, with over a 99% positive feedback rating, the service Plumbworld provides is of a very high calibre.
Plumbworld have been operating since 1999 and trading online for almost as many years; with their position as the UK's #1 online bathroom retailer, they are in good standing for another successful year. Although the Plumbworld website does extremely well, there are many other avenues the business explores to increase turnover and provide better exposure to the public. One of these avenues just happens to be an eBay shop...
Asking anyone if they use eBay is like asking people if they can ride a bike, for the majority, the answer is yes; for those that don't, you can be sure they've still heard of eBay. This says a lot for how large and dominating the eBay brand is; so dominating that not only do they own eBay, but also Paypal and Skype – which may come as news to some of you. Aside from this, the website has 90 million users worldwide and boasts an insane figure of 17.7 million unique visitors to the site every month.
It quickly becomes obvious to most people why selling through an outlet such as eBay is beneficial to any business. With over 160,000 registered businesses using eBay, it's just as competitive as the high street, if not more so. As people continue to turn to online shopping, businesses need to exploit the online market as much as possible in order to keep turnover and profits high.
Scott Morris E-Commerce Manager at Plumbworld was keen to talk about this avenue of distribution: "We've used eBay for a year or 2 now and in that time we've sold thousands and thousands of the products we stock on the regular website. However, we sell them at exactly the same price as we do on the site, as we still have to pay Paypal/eBay fees; but it's obvious to us that some people must prefer and feel safer dealing with a business through eBay. Although online shopping is extremely safe nowadays, some people still have their reservations and this could be one of the reasons people shop through eBay." He continued to expand on the reasons for using eBay: "Not only this, but it also opens our products up to being viewed by people who never even knew Plumbworld existed, this will in turn generate sales and more traffic to the main website – both a bonus. With a new stock of bathroom mirrors just in, we hope these will sell well on eBay as well as the main site."
Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading. It was started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and was sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006. Plumbworld now employs more than 50 people in its purpose built warehouse and offices and boasts an astonishing 50 websites selling everything from a heated towel rail and draper tools to bathroom furniture and electric showers. The business has a turnover in excess of £18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.

Ten Things You Can Do To Get Ready For Summer - Number 5
Don't Sweat It…
Does underarm sweating interfere with your daily activities? Are you worried about raising your arms in public because of underarm sweat stains? Do you hesitate to buy new clothes because they might be ruined by underarm sweat? Do you worry someone will notice your sweat stains? Well, don't sweat it anymore! There are treatments that can help!
The human body has 2-4 million sweat glands which function to cool the body by perspiration. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid. However, excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. Those with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional.
Often considered the "first line" of treatment for severe underarm sweating, over-the-counter antiperspirants work by blocking sweat ducts, thereby reducing the amount of perspiration that reaches the skin. The most widely used ingredient in antiperspirants is aluminum chloride hexahydrate. Your doctor may prescribe a stronger antiperspirant for your severe underarm sweating, available from your pharmacist.
Anticholinergics drugs, such as glycopyrrolate (Robinul, Robinul-Forte), help to prevent the stimulation of sweat glands. Although effective for some patients, these drugs have not been studied as well as other treatments. Side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, and problems with urination. Beta-blockers or benzodiazepines may help reduce stress-related sweating.
Botulism Toxin Type A is approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when medicines used on the skin (topical) do not work well enough. Neurotoxin is injected into the affected areas to help control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. The use of Botox can help eliminate the need for more invasive treatment options which include iontophoresis and surgery. During the procedure at the doctor's office, a small amount of neurotoxin is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle. In a short appointment with your doctor, about 15 injections are made to the underarm area. The actual procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes and lasts up to 201 days or 6.7 months. If you are interested in learning more about neurotoxin injections for hyperhidrosis please contact our Santa Barbara office at (805) 898-0700.

Saint Isaac the Syrian writes, "Very often many things are said by the Holy Scriptures and in it many names are used not in a literal sense… those who have a mind understand this" (Homily 83, p. 317).
The Holy Scriptures are indeed edifying for the Christian life – particularly as they are read and memorized. There they become a treasure in our heart that can be drawn upon at need. I find that even in simple tasks, such as trimming the wicks in the Church, that reciting psalms and other Scriptures helps center the heart and fittingly gives praise to God.
It was once an enforced part of Tradition that anyone chosen for the office of Bishop had to also know the Psalter by heart. Much of this had to do with the fact that such memorization was standard for monks at the time. Today it is not strictly enforced – though I am constantly amazed at the amount of Scripture, particularly Psalms, that my brother priests in the Church do know. Psalm 50 (LXX) "Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy loving-kindness" is required memorization by priests and deacons. It is to be said quietly while they cense the Church.
St. Seraphim of Sarov read all four gospels in the course of a week, every week. My own taste of this comes every year during Holy Week when all four gospels are read aloud in the Church during the services of the hours. It is hard to describe the effect of any single gospel as it is read in its entirety.
Another great source for study is can be found in the Festal Menaion (translated by Met. Kallistos Ware and Mother Mary) and the Lenten Triodion. Both books contain reich material that is itself a commentary on Scripture that is also part of the devotional life. It is not just an education in Scripture but an education in how to read the Scripture.
Mentioned already in our comments is the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete. It is a meditation on Scripture with a particularly theme – but provides a "mystical" or "moral" approach to the reading of the Holy Scriptures.
Needless to say, the writings of the Fathers – the sermons of St. John Chrysostom and the like, are also invaluable.
In all of these things we are moving away from the individualism that has marked so much treatment of the Bible in modern times. It is a return to the life of humility and a searching for the mind of the Church. It is a submitting of ourselves for the "renewing of our mind" (Romans 12:1) and a discipline that frees us from the tyranny of the individualized constructs of a consumer conscience.
Other thoughts, proven in the fire of life, are welcome.

Approaching scripture corporately. Makes sense as an Orthodox.
I was chatting last night with the editor of "Walk to Emmaus" and noting how, as a Protestant, I used to long to have been in earshot when Christ talked with the two disciples on that trip and how, "beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself."
A couple years into Orthodoxy it occurred to me that I do get to listen to that sermon. It is preached through the verses and stychera of the daily services: how Christ is weaved throughout the Old Testament. Kind of obvious after the fact: Jesus shared these secrets with his disciples and they passed it along to us.
This is one of the many benefits of approaching the scripture "corporately" rather than individually. Whily personally I might find a few nuggets myself trying to identify Christ in the Old Testament, the Church has a riverfull gushing our way if we'll only submit to it.
Lord have mercy on us. May we study the Holy Scriptures in the spirit of humility so that we may understand with our hearts as well as our minds; so that seeing, we may see; hearing we may hear; seeking we may find the Truth that is Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit of God fill "that which is lacking". I thank the Lord for "renewing my mind" through the teachings of the Orthodox Church; for to continue with my old mind-set was pure misery.
Thank you Fr. Stephen for all your posts.
Father Stephen, what are your thoughts on the Orthodox Study Bible? I am not yet Orthodox, but my wife and I have set ourselves on the path from Pentecostalism to Orthodoxy, and I want to begin to learn to read the Scriptures in an Orthodox manner. I ask because I remember reading a less-than-favourable Orthodox review of the study material presented in it; the gist of the criticism was that it was too protestant by far. However, this article was on Orthodoxinfo.com, and I know you have mentioned before in previous posts (and I have had occasion to see for myself) that that website is rather more conservative (and perhaps less gracious) in its interpretations than the mainstream of Orthodoxy. As such, I would like to know your own thoughts concerning the Orthodox Study Bible (which I do not own, by the way… another reason for my question).
The study Bible is good. Not perfect (when would study notes every reach such a place). But I own one and use it all the time. My parishioners have found it very helpful. You will not have wasted your money.
"It is not just an education in Scripture but an education in how to read the Scripture."
This is my first year to read the Lenten Triodion at home and I see what you mean about "how to read the Scripture". For example, the prayers confess that I am worse than the Pharisee in not obeying, and worse than the Publican for not being sorry. That unlike the Prodigal, I have stayed in the mire. That I have no compunction when contemplating the Final Judgment. Confession is good for the soul.
David, reviews I've seen on orthodoxinfo.com of the Orthodox Study Bible refer to the 1993 edition. Some of the resistance to it, I believe, was because notes were written by relatively recent converts who lacked the depth necessary to mine centuries of wisdom in such a weighty task. I personally don't think there are any serious errors, if anything there's just less in there than would be under more ideal circumstances.
Today's Orthodox Study Bible is a different publication almost entirely. The OT has been added and it is significant that it gives us a good translation of the Greek Septuagint OT that the Church in Christ's time read.
I think the notes are wonderful and especially helpful for ex Protestants, like me. I think it's worthwhile if only for the introduction and notes on the Psalms. You can't find that precious book translated so well, nor such valuable commentary anywhere else.
My only problem with the recent edition of the Orthodox Study Bible is that the older version (New Testament and Psalms) had a better concordance. Otherwise, it's a great Bible.
Fr. Stephen, about Psalm 50 — I have to tell you that my priest holds a Service of Holy Unction once a month. Every time he reads the prayer about, "Even me, a miserable sinner, Thou hast deemed worthy of the priesthood," all I can think is, "Father — you don't BEGIN to know what sin is!" It's so unnerving to hear such a gentle and nice person call himself a "miserable sinner"!
Coming from a year-old Orthodox, my main issue with the OSB is that they used the NKJV rather than the KJV for the NT (and the OT is in modern English, too). Not that that's going to bother most people; it's just an aesthetic issue for me.
Dear Father, bless!
This is such a little thing (but not to me), but since the OSB was mentioned it sparked my memory: As a Protestant I loved the 1970s Scripture song from Psalm 95 (94 LXX) "Come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our God our Maker . . ." "Kneel" conjures up an image of noble fealty. I was suddenly struck when I was praying this Psalm recently by this verse from the LXX translation. "Come let us worship and bow down before Him, and let us weep before the Lord our Maker! . . . " Usually the Lord's Presence in the Liturgy is very calm and gentle, and so I don't generally "lose it" in the services, but there have been times thoughout my Christian journey, and many times since becoming Orthodox, that the Lord has made His Presence known to me in a much more intense way and the natural and spontaneous response is, of course, always copious tears and prostration! This is one more of those little confirmations for me of the fullness that is in Orthodoxy.
As a priest I can assure you that our sins are very great. We cannot survive except by the prayers of the faithful. We would die in the presence of the fire of God.
All this is true Father.
Other resources for studying/understanding Scripture I use:
The Commentaries on the Gospels (4 volumes) by Blessed Theophylact. Written in the 11th Century or so, translated into English. John came out last year.
The Kingdom of God: The Sermon on the Mount, The Parables, The Miracles of Christ, and the Commentaries on Romans and Hebrews by Archbishop Dmitri.
The Year of Grace of the Lord by "A Monk of the Eastern Church." It's a Scriptural and Liturgical commentary, week by week. More devotional than studious, but I still find it very helpful.
This, in addition to the complete OSB.
I don't have a TV (by choice), so I read – a LOT!
Not to have a television is a blessed choice in these days – it probably wastes far more of our time than we'd care to admit.
Thanks so much for this series on Holy Scripture.
My first year in the Orthodox Faith is had two books with me almost continually as I tried to lead my tiny flock into the safe harbour of the Church:
"The Bible and the Holy Fathers for Orthodox" compiled by Joanna Manley (which helped me gain the habit of reading Scripture with the Church) and
"Divine Prayers and Services" (The 5-pounder!) compiled by Fr. Nassar (which provided me with my first exposure to the richness of the Church's hymnody which so wonderfully elucidates the Scriptures).
Our sins are very great indeed and it is only by the prayers of the faithful we can come to Him at all. I have felt the Presence of the Lord as conviction, but in His grace the Lord shields me from seeing my sin in its fullness and so I burn many times with shame, but am not consumed because He then comforts with love and forgiveness. The weeping and prostration of which I spoke, however, is the profound and joyful mourning that occurs when the Lord allows us a greater glimpse from time to time of His most tender kindness, kind of like the tears that happen at the happy ending of a movie or story that has contained profound tragedy–like a premonition of the Resurrection.
At the risk of speaking without knowledge or authority on the matter, I'll mention to David that some of the reviews I've seen of the OSB seem a little more rooted in concerns about the influence of Protestant (and Evangelical) assumptions on the work. That it bases its text on a version of the premier "Western" translation (KJV/NKJV) into English seems, to some, an unfortunate choice for an "Eastern" Bible. There is concern, I think, among some traditional Orthodox, that the current influx of North American converts, and the ministries created by them, still reflect too much the mindset and worldview of Evangelicalism. (Similar criticisms of Ancient Faith Radio come to mind here.) There's probably some validity to this concern, though perhaps more is fueled by uncertainty and fear than by reality.
I have read several other reviews of the OSB that take issue with technical and scholarly problems with it. One recently discussed a passage in Genesis that follows the Masoretic Text rather than the Septuagint. The reviewer discussed this one passage as an example of several others where the OSB follows the original NKJV text uncritically, and does not truly reflect the original Greek. These problems with the OSB appear to be significant, and should not be dismissed lightly.
But as Father Stephen indicates, this does not mean the OSB is without value. Only, read it with the awareness of its limitations. It is a welcome and long-awaited resource for English language readers.
I've been following with interest the development of the English Orthodox Bible (EOB). The NT and some supplemental articles are complete, and the OT is targeted for release at the end of this year (though that date has shifted a couple times now.) I spotted some grammatical errors, though, in the article about the Virgin Mary that may indicate other corrective work still needs to be done on the final release.
Forgive me, Father, if I have spoken out of turn, or out of ignorance, here.
Not out of turn. Orthodoxy in the U.S. and English speaking world is still quite young. The resources simply to produce the OSB represented an investment of millions on the part of Thomas Nelson publishers, who have been extremely cooperative with American Orthodox. People have no idea what is involved. The one Septuagint translation out there was an abysmal read.
The OSB is a giant leap forward. Many, many things in Orthodox in America and Britain would never have taken place without the influx of converts.
Over half our seminary population…
The seminal translations of Met. Kallistos Ware
The translations and indefatigable vision of Arbp Dmitri of the South
This is missionary territory for the Orthodox – and yet among our American members can be found some of the most important voices in Orthodox theology, missiology, liturgics, etc. For the tiny minority which we represent, we have been a great blessing to the Orthodox world.
By the same token, as the East awakens from its long nightmare yoke, new scholars – amazing men such as Bp. Hilarion Alfeyev (truly a renaissance man) – and others are coming to the fore. Greece is producing some very top drawer theologians – and in many ways – the health of Orthodox monasticism has not been so clear for perhaps centuries.
The OSB is a tiny part of all that, but important, nonetheless. We Orthodox often expect perfection – but forget that we are saved by economia and not akrivia. Glory to Thy Economia, O Christ!
Theodora Elizabeth, we don't have TV too by choice and I know at least 2 more families who don't have TV's. I wonder if this is a trend.
Dear Father, bless!
As a recovering perfectionist, I can understand the fears of some more traditional Orthodox about the influx of converts, especially Evangelicals and their influence. But speaking as an American convert encountering the living Tradition that is Orthodoxy, I would like to say that a realistic concern on the part of traditional Orthodox leading them to pray and if led, and in season out of real concrete knowledge of a specific convert, to say a prudent word out of love is totally appropriate and appreciated. If, on the other hand, there is excessively intense fearfulness leading to strident and overly critical judgmental tones, blanket statements on the Internet, standoffishness in parishes and clergy circles (either on the part of traditional Orthodox towards converts or vice versa), etc., it seems to me this reflects a lack of faith in the power of the Tradition to correct and bring to completion over time those who truly belong to Christ and His Church (as both converts and their more traditional brethren do!). Such a mindset necessarily will result in our stepping out of place and trying in our own strength to do the Lord's work for Him. I have seen plenty of this in my former Evangelical setting as well, and the result is not pretty! My Christian experience has taught me (both before and since I have formally entered the Church) that the Holy Spirit knows how to do His work, and we will all do well just to love and pray for each other, to be as faithful as we can in working out our own salvation leaving others to the care of God and their own Confessors, in full and joyful confidence that the Lord will make all things beautiful in His time.
The older version of the OSB had a very thorough lectionary in the back. The new version is, unfortunately, much abbreviated. Of course I can always check online, but I like being able to refer to my photocopy of the OSB version, complete with burn marks and drops of wax from my candle!
So many things about Orthodoxy never cease to amaze me. One of them is how much of our services, prayers, chanting, and hymns are directly out of Scripture. Inevitably when I wonder where a beautiful prayer or hymn is from, I realize it is directly out of Scripture. I used to think evangelicals had the corner on the market of knowing and respecting Scripture. Now how blessed I feel to be a part of the Faith that reads, prays, chants, sings, kisses, raises, and studies the Scriptures.
Another amazing thing for me is how chanting the Psalter in prayer can speak directly to me and for me. So often the Psalms capture perfectly the depths of what is in my heart, whether it be despair or joy or fear or thanksgiving or whatever, and then they always firmly but gently point me toward proper understanding and expression and relationship to the Lord. A chanted Psalm can rescue and restore me in a matter of moments.

Why was the issue of race so paramount during the Zimmerman-Martin trial? Black people need to stop acting as if white people are the enemy, because the reality of it is that more blacks die by the hands of another black person rather than by white hands.
Just take a look at what goes on in cities like Gary and the South Side of Chicago on a daily basis. Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson recently asked to mobilize Indiana State troopers to curb the black-on-black crime going on in her city.
How about some protests over this as opposed to the ones going on now over the Zimmerman verdict?
For anybody who doesn't support Stand Your Ground laws, you're just playing right in the hands of criminals.
And if you're saying this case wasn't about race, but justice, you're kidding yourself. This was made to be about white vs. black from the beginning.

Even though only one member still lives in the state, The B-52s will always be synonymous with Georgia.
It's been 35 years since Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Fred Schneider and Wilson's now-deceased older brother Ricky played their first show in a house across the street from the Taco Stand in Athens. Though they moved to New York two years later, just as their self-titled debut, sporting the weird and wonky "Rock Lobster" and "Planet Claire," started to gain traction, The B-52s and Athens go together like Springsteen and Asbury Park.
Schneider, though, has vivid memories of the B's formative years playing around the state.
"Atlanta was one of the first places we'd play, probably in early '78. We did our first record in Stone Mountain," Schneider said earlier this week from his hotel room at the Trump Soho in Manhattan. "We moved because there wasn't any place for us to play [in Athens] and we were ready for a chance. Athens wasn't the musical Mecca it is today."
Though Wilson is the only Atlanta resident in the band – Schneider lives on Long Island, Pierson in upstate New York and Strickland in Key West – the city still holds appeal to Schneider, who said he'll spend about five days in town visiting friends after the band's Saturday show at the Fox.
The B-52s last album, "Funplex," released in 2008 and its first new full-length release since 1992, was partially recorded at Nickel and Dime Studios in Avondale Estates and a few of its tunes make it onto the band's nightly set list.
"We play what we know people will always want to hear, but we want to do some of the newer songs, too. We change the setup pretty much every time we go out so it doesn't get boring. I try to change my stage patter every night so it's not like Cher or Tina Turner when you make it look like you're talking to the audience but you're just repeating the script," Schneider said. "When we first started out, nobody wanted to be the person to talk to the audience. We're from an era when you weren't ready-made for TV and I didn't have that personality. But I developed it and just said, 'What the heck. Who cares?'"
While the band will be on the road through September – they're currently doing some dates with Squeeze, but the Atlanta show will present Already Taken, a band featuring Wilson's two kids – Schneider already has some secondary projects and appearances lined up.
His comedy/dancepop group The Superions is prepared to release another album – though it might be a one-single-at-a-time scenario – and in September, Schneider will return to Atlanta as a judge for the Divine Rules drag queen pageant.
The show, which takes place Sept. 22 at Jungle Club Atlanta, benefits two causes close to Schneider: the anti-bullying organization I Am Divine Foundation and the animal-friendly Pets Are Loving Support.
After that, it's time for time off for the B's, though Schneider hints at a possible New Year's Eve gig.
In Atlanta, perhaps?
"If a promoter wants to bring us in," he said, "we'll be there."

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's media are curbing combative reporting of a high-speed train disaster after what observers said were orders from the ruling Communist Party's propaganda arm to stop criticism that has echoed public outrage over the tragedy.
For a week, many Chinese newspapers defied censorship orders and pursued unusually aggressive reporting of the crash on July 23 that killed at least 40 people on two high-speed trains -- a technology the government has promoted as a shiny symbol of the nation's growing technological prowess.
But censors have stepped up demands for news media to wind down often withering criticism over the train disaster near Wenzhou in eastern China, according to the China Media Project at the University of Hong Kong.
"A notice demanded that Chinese media immediately cool down their reporting and commentary on the July 23 Wenzhou train crash, and scores of Chinese media had to move frantically to fill the gaps as planned reports on the crash were suddenly off limits," Qian Gang and David Bandurski of the Media Project wrote in a comment about the fresh censorship push that they said began Friday.
China's press coverage of the train accident appears likely to follow an arc seen after other recent sensitive disasters, with state-controlled media first bucking and then bowing to censors whose priority is protecting the ruling Party's image.
Chinese newspapers and magazines are all ultimately controlled by different arms of the state, but they also compete for stories, readers and revenue in a fiercely commercial environment, encouraging more adventurous editors to skirt around, even sometimes defy, censorship.
Monday, several popular newspapers at the forefront of reporting the train disaster had shifted to more upbeat news, including a Chinese world record at the world swimming championships in Shanghai.
Qian and Bandurski of the China Media Project showed several Chinese newspaper columns and commentaries that were quashed and never appeared after the censors stepped in (http://cmp.hku.hk).
"The only path to re-establishing public confidence is thoroughly investigating the truth," was the title of one quashed editorial in China Business View.
Messages on Sina.com's Weibo site, China's most popular version of Twitter, posted messages lamenting what users said was stepped up censorship of comments.
China blocks Twitter. But Weibo and other homegrown micro-blogging sites have served as lively arenas for public outrage over the train accident.
Many used the Internet to lambaste what they have called government efforts to cover up culpability for putting expanding high-speed train lines ahead of public safety and then covering up embarrassing aspects of the disaster.
Officials have blamed faulty signal technology for the crash.
"It's entirely understandable that Sina's Weibo is removing and blocking messages, because that's the only way it can ensure there's a platform for Internet expression," wrote one user, Cao Jingxing.

Well That Depends On Who You Ask!Many people think I'm very, very nice especially when I'm fulfilling their every fantasy. However, some may think that I'm a cheater and unfaithful to my husband. I say what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Furthermore, there are nagging, cold, ******* that deny their husbands warmth, affection and pleasure. That's what I call "not a nice person"!!!
you are so hot sweetheart.
It all depends on how you define your relationship with him...

I don't know your husband, but he might actually enjoy the fact that you engage in sexual activity with others. Telling him is obviously a judgement call on your part. As for myself, I always got off knowing that the lady in my life was getting it from other guys (and gals). My ex-wife used to let me watch her in action sometimes. What a thrill!

i with you all the way and agree, it would be nice and a pleasure to meet someone like you..keep it up, you got mine up...lol
I totally agree with you... It's selfish do ask your partner to deny himself pleasure! I would never want my partner to be denied of all the pleasure she can get! If we love eachother, there's no reason to act selfish and jealous!
I can personally identify with your "not a nice person" desc<x>ription

Since the roadster was originally carbureted an aftermarket engine management system had to be incorporated. Fortunately for Tak a TEC II magnetic pick up was already attached to the block when he purchased it and the decision was made to use the Electromotive TEC II unit. The TEC II direct coil packs also eliminated the use of the distributor, which was a saving grace considering finding a cap & rotor for a FJ20 engine is no easy task. Next in line was to upgrade the fuel system to accommodate fuel injection. A Bosch fuel pump with new 3/8-inch line was routed from the tank to the fuel rail. After the turbo system and fuel system was constructed the entire powertrain was removed and sent for painting.
P.J. Bonifacio of La Puente, California sprayed five lustrous layers of Dupont Silver on the '67 sheetmetal. With the car back in hand Tak rewired the entire engine and interior bays with all new wires and connectors. Since all the factory gauges were not working, Tak installed a full line of Auto Meter Phantom gauges to monitor engine parameters which include: voltmeter, boost gauge, monster tach, monster speedo, water temp, exhaust temp, oil pressure quartz clock and fuel level. The entire braking system was also redone with new hard lines and hoses. New Tilton brake and clutch cylinder replaced the stock units. Next on the agenda was to redo the suspension of the Datsun. Koni twin-tube adjustable shocks with NISMO springs and leafs were added at the corners and NISMO front and rear sway bars replace the stock units.
With all the upgrading and fabricating you would think Tak was content with his awesome ride. Not by a longshot. He still plans on cleaning up the suspension by adding more chrome and upgrading the brakes and rotors. He also plans on beefing up the bottom-end with a stroker crank and forged pistons. So the next time you judge a book by its cover be prepared to have the book thrown at you because this roadster's beauty is more than skin deep.

Easy New Year's Resolutions: Drink More Coffee!
Sure coffee gives you the jitters if you O.D. on it, but sipped in moderation, your daily joe can help fight disease.
According to a Finnish study of around 1,500 middle-aged folks, the lowest risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease was found in people who drank three to five cups of coffee a day. And, over the long term, according to the Nurses' Health Study, drinking coffee (caff or decaf) was tied to an 8 percent decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes in women.
No, this isn't an all-access pass to latte and cappuccino; stick to coffee drinks without all the fat.
New Year's resolutions you can keep! Every day in January, we're bringing you healthy (often surprising) tips that are easy to incorporate into your regular diet.

This kind of smoke usually means fire
When someone buys thousands of out-of-the-money calls on a rumor stock like this, what are you going to do?
When someone comes in and buys thousands of out-of-the-money calls on Clorox (CLX), both for June and July, with a heavy emphasis on the July 105 calls, what are you going to do, stay short? How can you not take a shot at Clorox, betting that someone knows there is something afoot?
Clorox, these days, is the quintessential rumored stock. It doesn't have much growth to speak of. It has a bunch of companies that truly don't belong under one roof unless you can figure out how charcoal, kitty litter, Burt's Bees and Seven Seas salad dressing dovetail with trash bags, bleach and other cleaning supplies. I have never been able to figure it out.
But I know this. In a world where a bunch of second-rate brands under the Hillshire Brands (HSH) roof turned out to be worth almost double the price they were not that long ago, how can Unilever (UN) not take a hard look at the company? Procter (PG) tried to merge with it once before and it was rejected.
Who is to think that it doesn't make sense for Clorox to go for more food and merge with Pinnacle (PF)? Or how about it goes for food and nonfood, with Pinnacle handling the condiments portion of Newco.
So many ways to skin the cat with Clorox.
Now, all that said, people have been speculating that this is the end of Clorox for as long as there has been Clorox. I can't tell you how many times I've bet that this company, along with Heinz (HNZ) and Campbell's (CPB), would eventually get a bid. My team used to make fun of me for always insisting having some Clorox calls on the sheet that were, alas, always rip-ups. And if the common did spike to near the calls, I had always shorted some common against it.
Clorox is hard to value. It has a 3 percent-plus dividend, which is terrific, and it regularly boosts the payout. But it does sell at 21x earnings, despite declining volumes and sales. That's way too expensive.
No matter, here's the key statistic you have to keep in mind. Clorox is less than a $12 billion company with products we all know and a secure and growing presence because of line extensions. That aisle space comes at a premium, and if you are any one of these food and consumer packaged goods companies, you might be thinking this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to pick up extremely high-quality brand names with very cheap debt.
This is not a knock on CEO Donald Knauss. Every one of the companies I follow that do business in the supermarket are challenged, with the exception of WhiteWave (WWAV) and maybe Hain (HAIN). That's a really small list. I know not everyone wants cleaning products, and I'm sure many people think Clorox is fodder for the generic-branded companies. But the logic behind the call buying is ineluctable and, yes, irresistible, because where there is heavy option smoke, there is almost definitely an actual fire.

charcoal, kitty litter, Burt's Bees and Seven Seas salad dressing dovetail with trash bags, bleach and other cleaning supplies. I have never been able to figure it out.
end quote
Let's see if you have cats then you will need the trash bags to haul away all the kitty litter you will be using. Then when the cheaply made trash bags burst open you will need the bleach and other cleaning supplies to clean up the mess. You hands will get so messed up by the chemical cleaners you will need the Burt's Bees lotion to soothe your skin. And of course it is no secret among cat owners that cats love Seven Seas salad dressing because it tastes like fish from the Seven Seas.
There I have linked them all together for you Crammer
Of course there was no mention in the news about this. You know [or should know] that the media are now part of the government, now, rather than the watchdogs that they pretend to be. The few independent parts of the so-called news media don't have the cojones to go against the government's propaganda machine, which is 95% of the so-called news in the papers on TV or the radio.
As you may have noticed, if you're old enough, starting sometime in the 1980s, we started having more and more "news" about celebrities and their hijinks [like most intelligent people REALLY give a $hit about them. Maybe a little, but NOT to the extent of these idiots hogging 90% of the headlines]
This happened, of course, when the big socialistic, fascist, corporations started to buy up the media outlets. You know what their slogan is??
"Free enterprise, and keep those subsidies coming!!"
""Clorox is hard to value. It has a 3 percent-plus dividend, which is terrific, and it regularly boosts the payout. But it does sell at 21x earnings, despite declining volumes and sales. That's way too expensive.""
seems like parking your money in a spot with a reasonable dividend and potential for eventual stock growth isn't such a bad idea.

Sometimes read 10-15 comments, and not really know what the article is about...?
If you don't read the Article first (me thinks many don't) you wouldn't even understand many of the comments nor the article, neither one...
Forget Clorox bleach. People really need to be buying Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Tide Laundry Detergent.
Fears of Tide being a key ingredient in what the terrorists (people like the Chicago Gangs), are using to make explosives has moved the price up by a factor of ten (10) in just the past year -- to just under $15.00 bottle. And that is an inflation shrunk (formerly a gallon) bottle.
And now that the War on Terror is heating up here at "home" you will need a permit (every time you think our government can't possbily get any dumber, well . . . ), to buy laundry detergent, or any other bomb making ingredient (so called). Wait until having clean clothes means buying something else kept behind the counter instead of on the store shelf, like Sudafed.
From now on only the terrorists will look and smell "Cottony Soft and April Fresh" because they will be the only ones with clean clothes. And of course our criminal shyster politicians and banksters.

military personnel involved in the operation. A chief difference among missions is whether the soldier's role is that of primary party or third party, as shown in Figure 6–1.
A recent survey conducted by the Lester B. Pearson Canadian International Peacekeeping Training Center (Last and Eyre, 1995) used the distinction between combat and contact activities. Canadian soldiers in the Bosnian (N = 197) and Croatian (N = 185) United Nations (UNPROFOR) operations were asked a number of questions about their experiences during the time period November 1993 to April 1994. Ninety-six questions, arranged in nine groupings, were asked of samples at three ranks: enlisted soldiers, noncommissioned officers (NCOs), and officers. Of these, 50 questions were relevant to the combat-contact distinction: 32 deal with combat activities, 18 with contact activities. From the answers, profiles were constructed for each operation. These profiles show the relative balance of combat and contact experiences for the two missions and how these experiences vary by rank.
The results show that combat skills are important at all levels, but that contact skills are more significant with increasing rank. The proportion of combat and contact experiences for the enlisted and NCO ranks was roughly equal for both operations. Officers reported about twice as many contact (about 40 percent) as combat (20 percent) activities in the Bosnian operation and almost three times as many contact (40 versus 15 percent) activities in the Croatian operation. The most frequent combat experiences reported were being a target for rocks thrown, encountering mines, coming under small-arms fire, being restrained, and being held at gunpoint. The most frequent contact experiences reported were working with interpreters, negotiating with civilian police and belligerent factions, and interacting with local civilians.
With regard to activities involving negotiation, almost all officers and many senior NCOs reported experiences with a soldier or officer of one of the warring factions; only 29 percent of the enlisted group reported having these experiences. A smaller percentage of officers (60 percent) reported negotiating with civilian leaders of one of the factions; an even smaller percentage of the enlisted group reported these experiences (about 15 percent). With regard to mediation or conciliation, about 50 percent of the officers and senior NCOs had these experiences, compared with only about 10 percent of the enlisted soldiers.
This leads to the conclusion that developing contact skills is clearly essential for officers, and it may be important to develop them even at the lower levels. It is also apparent that contact skills are increasingly important in many of the newer operations other than war. In traditional peacekeeping operations, only senior officers could be expected to have direct interactions with the protagonists and thus require some contact skills. Junior

Sweet and Sticky Oven-Barbecued Pork Back Ribs
James Carrier
These pork ribs have been served for the annual luau fellowship dinner of Mary Lou Nuffer's church for at least the last 30 years. She gives Evelyn Smith credit for the original recipe. Even in barbecue season the ribs are easier to bake than grill because the sticky sauce is inclined to burn.
Yield: Makes 5 or 6 servings

Refugees International was back on Capitol Hill yesterday, as Peacekeeping Advocate Erin Weir testified before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The purpose of the hearing was to discuss the challenges currently facing peacekeeping and possible improvements to the operations, said committee chairman Rep. Howard Berman. A distinguished group of witnesses gathered for the hearing, including Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr.
Earlier this week a decision from The Hague determined the boundary between north and south Sudan around the town of Abyei. This particular decision stems from an agreement signed last year, but it marks a part of the peace process occuring in Sudan. Benchmark goals like an election in April of next year and a referendum in 2011 are part of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) – a document that marked the end of 21 years of war.
President Obama's speech to the Muslim World in Cairo was a complete home run.
He highlighted the shared religious values of peace and justice that unify the People of the Book--Jews, Christians and Muslims who live by their Holy texts, the Talmud, the Bible and the Koran. He addressed the differences that currently divide the faiths, and he proposed paths for dialogue, partnership and peace in the future.
There is a sense in Washington that the magnitude of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Pakistan hasn't been fully grasped yet. The latest offensive by the Pakistani military has forced one and a half million people to leave the Swat and Buner districts in less than three weeks. The UN Refugee Agency stated that the fighting is uprooting more people faster than any conflict since the Rwandan genocide. Even before the most recent military operations, half a million people had fled from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan.
It's happened again. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is off of the international radar screen, despite the fact that violence and displacement continue.

NEW YORK (AP) — Deep discounts on summer leftovers and hot weather drove shoppers into malls in July, but they remained choosy, resulting in only overall modest gains.
The sluggish spending, which is being compared with a miserable July 2009, bodes poorly for the back-to-school season as Americans step up saving amid a stalling economic recovery. For shoppers, it could mean big discounts. Already, teen clothing sellers like Abercrombie & Fitch are offering generous price cuts on new jeans to lure shoppers.
Chain-store sales rose 2.8 percent in July, below the 3 to 4 percent expected, according to The International Council of Shopping Centers, based on reports from 31 retailers. That compares with a 5 percent drop a year ago. The figure is based on revenue at stores opened at least a year and are considered a key indicator of a retailer's health.
With shoppers keeping a lid on spending, sales gains are coming at the expense of other retailers. Clearly, July's reports showed clear winners and losers as shoppers try to buy the right product at the right price.
Macy's Inc. posted a stronger-than expected revenue increase, but rival J.C. Penney Co. suffered a surprise drop, missing expectations. Penney warned that it second quarter will come at the low end of its previous forecast, sending shares down.
Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren said that the back-to-school business was off to a "great" start, helped by its newly launched Material Girl fashion collection created by pop star Madonna and her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes.
Another big winner was Limited Brands Inc., operator of Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works, which posted robust gains.
Teen clothing stores were among the hardest hit, with The Buckle Inc. and The Wet Seal Inc. suffering declines. But analysts say that deep discounting from Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle may have hurt Aeropostale Inc., which since the recession has been a bright spot because of its own lower prices. Aeropostale posted a slim increase, missing analysts' expectations and trimmed its guidance.
The problem is that the Great Recession has taught shoppers to buy closer to when they need the merchandise. So Ken Perkins, president of research firm RetailMetrics, predicts stores are "going to have to be very promotional all the way through."
He added that consumers, particularly in the low- to middle-income brackets, are in a "buy now, wear now" mode because they don't have a lot of discretionary income.
Retailers are "becoming a battleground for market share," said John Long, retail strategist at Kurt Salmon Associates. "And because consumer wallets are not growing, the battle is for every dollar they spend."
July marks the fourth straight month of weak spending after retailers got a surprise bounce earlier in the year amid a rising stock market and government incentives. But now confidence is falling. An unemployment rate that's still stuck at almost 10 percent and tight credit are making shoppers focus on saving more and being picky about what they buy.
July marks the end of most retailers' fiscal second quarter. But it's the least important month in the quarter because stores use it to clear out summer leftovers and bring in fresh fall merchandise. This year, stores had to discount more than they had planned in June and July on summer items to pull in recession-scarred shoppers.
It's still too early to get a read on back-to-school season, retailers' second-largest behind Christmas, because goods just started hitting the floors in the past two weeks. But the big discounts on jeans (50 percent off at Aeropostale, for example) are already signaling that spending will remain weak. If discounting gets more frenzied, that will be a bad omen for third-quarter profits.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, no longer reports monthly figures.

Good idea for crotchless pantyhose.
