Britain In Bloom
May 16th, 20120
It's seems whenever you pick up a tabloid paper these days, there is a story about a celebrity pregnancy. In one tabloid newspaper today alone, we counted seven stories about a pregnant or post-pregnant celeb, whether it's how she shed her baby weight, why she shouldn't shed her baby weight too quickly, how thrilled she is to be pregnant after years of trying, or just her pregnancy style. We are a nation obsessed with pregnancy!
Later this month you can even watch a film about being pregnant: 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' starring Cameron Diaz charts five inter-connected couples all experiencing the familiar highs and lows of pregnancy. Pregnancy can be like that, for every up there is a down. If you know someone who is expecting at the moment, they may not feel that they are emanating radiance from every pore, or feel positively blooming. They may feel tired, emotional, sick and scared and hundred more weird and wonderful symptoms. If you know someone who's in their first, second or third trimester, give them a hug this week, or if you happen to pass a pregnant stranger on the street, a smile would probably be greatly appreciated.
Now to the matter of pregnancy fashion, it's just as important when you are pregnant as when you are not, to look the best you can, and as this has a positive effect on how you feel. So we have been inspired by a wall post on our Pepperberry Facebook page. One customer pointed out that the Twist Front Dress by Pepperberry in navy has been a perfect choice for her first & second trimesters. So if you are expecting or know somebody that is, you may want to look at these fabulous easy to wear options that could work in a pre and post baby wardrobe.
Pregnant and thinking of what you could wear to a Jubilee Party? Look no further than the Frill Front Dress by Pepperberry in green. It is a really pretty dress which is cut under the bust with a waist tie; it flares out, providing enough room for a growing bump. It is made from a silk cotton blend fabric and has sweet puff sleeves and ruffle detailing down the front.
If you're happy showing off your bump, the Drape Capped Sleeve Dress from Pepperberry will fit the bill. The crossover front, gives plenty of room for pregnancy boob growth and the waterfall drape front will cover your bump beautifully. This dress comes in steel or multi and will hug your curves throughout your pregnancy.
The Woven Floral Gypsy Top by Pepperberry available in red flower is a very easy to wear and totally on trend in this lovely ditsy floral. The woven fabric is really comfortable to wear during or after your pregnancy, and team it with maternity jeans and pumps for a comfy but stylish look.
If you love this top, you will probably love the Jersey Floral Tea Dress in red. It is cut under the bust, with that flattering crossover at the bust. It has draping over the tummy area to flatter that bump, and because it's made from jersey, it will be super comfortable to wear too; this would be a perfect buy for early to mid-pregnancy.
If you are after a perfect summer top, the Stripe Sun Top is the one that you want. It is inspired by Morocco and reminds us of a sunset with the gorgeous orange stripe colouring, and the sequins around the neckline. It is fully lined and has wide straps to hide bra straps. This is a gorgeous bohemian style top that would work really well during and after your pregnancy and would be a great summer staple.
Remember all these items are not maternity, but can work just as well and will ensure you look stylish and feel comfortable though the whole nine months.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|wow that is unbelievable
I came across this boat a couple of years ago while in Honolulu. Blew me away!!!! Sorry that I can't post a photo directly - never have been able.
BOAT OF SHAME - Honolulu, HI
I think he NEEDS to go with the marine ply...
in S.Florida, it rains... almost every G&^ D&^% day.. The humidity here is off the scale. (8AM, 76%, if I wasn't for the bikinis, I'd think I was in Seattle) Even if he seals other wood products like a duct taped hefty bag, it'll separate VERY quickly.
|Now that I think about it a bit further, I think that 10b contradicts sailingdog's comment about hard spots on the hull. I wasn't sure why Sabre had the gap, now I know why. I figured that if I made an exact replacement and attached it exactly as did Sabre, that would be good enough for me. I hereby respectfully withdraw 10b. I like the foam idea and would probably use it if I had to do it again.
I finally got the Head Rebuild photos posted to my site. The link follows.
S/V Victoria Head Reconstruction
My wife is the one who convinced my to not worry about using marine plywood. Her attitude is that there should be NO moisture intrusion, so I really didn't need to worry about waterproof glue in the wood. Put that way, it made sense since moisture the problem in the first place and Sabre used marine ply. If you buy furniture grade ply, there will be many plies and no voids. I use it extensively in my furniture.
As for the size of the piece of plywood and the size of the companionway, we have a smallish companionway and the sheet of ply was about 5' tall and 3' wide. I had no problem getting it inside the boat, but I suppose that it's possible. At one time, I had the illusion that I could cut out the bad stuff and scarf in a good piece of ply. I ended up replacing the whole thing because a splice seemed so wrong.
|Wow, thanks for all these replies I just now got on to check the site, we have been down in the belly of the beast all day just trying to clean it out a bit to make the time spent down there a little more pleasant, we are probably going to start on the real work very soon. Any and all input is greatly appreciated so keep it coming! We are most likely going with marine ply, if we properly rebed the chainplates there will be no water coming in to worry about rot in the first place.
|A better alternative to a solid fiberglass bulkhead is to make a cored bulkhead, with solid laminate in the sections where the chainplate fittings are. That would be lighter and stronger than a plywood bulkhead, yet as rot-proof as a solid-fiberglass bulkhead. It would also be fairly easy to make in whatever size you required, and piecing sections together to make the entire bulkhead would be rather simple.
The only comments that I would make on Sabreman's great post is:
You can not always get a big enough piece of plywood through the companionway to do the whole bulkheadand so you may need to laminate the bulkhead ou of multiple pieces of plywood, half of the thickness of the bulkhead, with their butt joints perhaps a foot or so staggered, and thoroughly glued.
I would strongly suggest using marine plywood since the primary difference is that non-marine plywood has more voids and these are a source of rot and structural failure on a bulkhead with fastenings, and high loads.
The problem with using a fiberglass bulkhead, besides expense and aesthetics is the weight which would be several times the weight of the same thickness wood.
Ugh, nasty.
I would consider replacing the bulkhead with same thickness FIBERGLASS not wood, for the simple reason that plastic just CAN'T rot the same way, ever. Places like McMaster and Grainger sell it up to an inch thick, theonly question is whether they have sheets big enough to replace the whole bulkhead in one piece. And then, apply veneer or other facing over it to make it look proper.
If you can't find plastic, I'd use an epoxy penetrant or something similar to (again) make sure that problem simply never can happen again.
I wonder if anyone makes zirc fittings for chainplate deck mounts?
On the bright side--that's still a cheap price for a Sabre!
Don't get the fast hardener if the temps are above 70˚F.
8... the bulkhead should have a slight gap between it and the hull. If it is touching, it can create a hard spot where the hull laminate will flex against. The space between the bulkhead and the hull should be filled with a bit of polyureathane foam—divinylcell or Airex are good choices.
As for 10b... if you can leave a nice 1" radius cove bead along the edge of the bulkhead instead of removing all the epoxy, it will help the roving stick better and lay more cleanly along the edge. Fiberglass doesn't do well with tight-radius corners or hard edges.

Ok, here goes.
1. Take a deep breath, it's not as bad as it looks. I had the same situation when we bought Victoria, our 38. The whole job took about 25 hours.
2. Take pictures during deconstruction so that you know where everything goes. Carefully remove all the trim and mark where they go on the reverse side. Save the vinyl hull covering too. Remove the chainplate hardware. If the mast is still up, use a halyard as a temporary stay.
3. Remove the shelving, DO NOT rip it out. You'll use all the plywood as a template. Basically, you'll have to unscrew the mounting cleats from wherever they're attached. Note that Sabre used resorcinol to glue the cleats to the plywood, so you'll have to pry them apart. SAVE THE SCREWS
4. Once the bulkhead is exposed on both sides, you'll need to detach it from the hull. Use a heavy duty cordless drill with a dry wall routing bit (the kind used to cut out receptacle boxes) to cut away the tabbing. I used a single bit, but have a spare ready in case it breaks. This is heavy work so wear hearing protection and a dust mask. Lay the drill parallel to the hull and slip the bit into the tabbing and work from the deck down along the hull. It's slow going, but will work.
5. Extract the bulkhead in as complete a piece as possible. Save all large pieces of plywood.
6. I used Lowe's exterior ply. NOT the nasty underlayment, but the 6 ply stuff. You don't have to worry too much about using marine plywood since YOU WILL keep your chainplates well sealed after this job. You'll probably need teak marine plywood because the bulkhead is exposed (min was in the head and formica covered). There are many sources.
7. Lay the nasty templates on the new plywood and carefully trace the outline. Cut with a jig saw to the line and make clean cuts. The bulkhead side doesn't have to be too fair, but definitely plane the exposed edges smooth. Use a plane and not a file - you'll get a much better job.
8. The hull edge of the bulkhead doesn't have to fit the contour exactly, but should be within a 1/8"-1/4". Tabbing will fix the rest.
9. Lay protective plastic and cardboard everywhere. I should have written this at the beginning, but you'll need it now.
10. Buy West Epoxy and fast set hardener. Buy heavy woven roving (WM Model #: 154013), NOT mat. Cut a continuous strip as long as the hull to bulkhead edge and about 8" wide. You need at least 4" lap on the hull and bulkhead on BOTH sides
10a. Attach the bulkhead to the deck and/or any cabinetry with screws to hold it in place during tabbing.
10b. I should have done this step, but didn't..... Mix West collidial silca filler with epoxy to make a paste and use as a temporary glue to attach the bulkhead to the hull along the hull edge of the bulkhead. Note that you MUST remove the squeeze-out. There can be NO lumps that impeded the roving layup. This is easily accomplished by taking a putty knife and pulling it along the bulkhead/hull edge, removing the excess putty. One pass on each side should do it.
11. Completely saturate the roving while laid flat on the plastic covering on the floor. Use gloves. Pick up an end and quickly transfer to the bulkhead/hull. It will be a dripping mess, so practice first while dry. Roll out with a resin roller. Make sure that there are NO bubbles.
12. Wipe up any excess dripping resin. DO NOT leave the job until the resin sets up. It could be a mess otherwise. Do not overwork the roll out as the resin sets, or it will begin to pull up. Basically just roll it out when you first lay it.
13. Reattach the shelving, etc. You'll probably want to pre-finish the wood with your choice of finish (I used satin urethane). Reattach trim using the legend that you wrote on each piece.
14. Reattach the hardware, redrilling the chainplate holes and SEALING the deck where the chainplates pass through. 3M 4200 works well
I think that I covered everything. I'll post a link in a few hours to photos of my job. It came out great and is SOLID; as good or better than the original.
You can do it if you are reasonably skilled with tools. Take your time. Buy the tools that you need and do not try to save money. Buy the best materials. Be neat, cleaning up after each session. You're already saving a bundle and this isn't the place to save a buck.
Good luck.

This week, the National Retail Federation (NRF) held its 102nd Annual Convention and EXPO —Retail's Big Show 2013. Attendees gathered from around the world to demo products and services and exchange ideas about the future of retail, including mobile payments. Mobile payments have captured the attention and imagination of industry insiders, venture capital investors, and innovators. Although retailer investment and consumer adoption have been nascent to date, we see that changing. Forrester forecasts that US mobile payments will reach $90B in 2017, a 48% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from the $12.8B spent in 2012.
In my new report out today, titled "US Mobile Payments Forecast, 2013 To 2017", I outline the growth drivers and inhibitors for the three mobile payments categories: mobile proximity, or in-store payments; mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) and remittances; and mobile remote commerce, or mCommerce. Here are the key takeaways:

Can you add an "any" option? All of the modern premium HPs work very well, to the point where there is an almost negligible practical difference between them. I would be pleased to use any of the rounds listed.
I currently have Gold Dots and Golden Sabers around, but that's just because they were available when I last went shopping. If Winchester or Federal or whatever had been available instead, I'd have bought them without a second thought.
To paraphrase the guys at Front Sight: any good round will do - if you will.

No. Horsepower is simply a function of rpm. Spin the bigger engine faster. You need more head and better parts to do it but you will go faster.
There is a limit to what can be done at certain deck heights and heads.

I have a hard time believing that you can rev the same as a 377 for relatively cheap.

Myself, I can barely say financially more effective and drag race anything in the same sentence.
If you're running brackets, why bother? Slow it down and let it live.
If your running heads up, someone is going to disregard "financially more effective" and you are lucky to be number two.
Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

You CANNOT rev the piss out of something JUST because you throw a shorter stroke crank in it.
Throwing a stock shorter stroke crank in a 400 doesn't mean you can magically rev it to 8,000RPM all day long and it lives. You HAVE to have good parts to do that. No way around it
It also depends on supporting hardware (heads/etc.)
It doesn't do you any good to spin 8,000RPM on any motor and have an induction package that makes no use of it.
Especially for a street setup, I would go the largest CI I possibly could.

Torquers are a $1000 for a pair
Take a good look at TFS
Or Edelbrock
Pay attention to heads priced per head verses heads priced per pair.
Because of the long stroke and hungry bores, you will have good port velocity compared to smaller brethren with the same cam. Don't be afraid to step up one size larger on the cam than you would have on a 350.
You won't regret either aluminum head for a nice running street engine.

If you can't tell, I'm getting the itch to wrench...(and help spend other people's money, wisely).
In regards to the fuel pump: my preference for the street is mechanical in most cases, stock really works really well (I run a Carter mechanical for the engine by itself). If the stock pump isn't keeping up, check for other causes; rusted fuel lines, pinched hoses or debris in the tank or pick up.
Carb: Again, I'm a fan of simplicity and really like a standard vacuum secondary Holley 750 3310. Look at swap meets, you should be able to find one. Get aquainted with it. Avoid the urge to go gonzo on the carb. Go too big and you'll have weak signal and you'll wonder why you have such large jets and still can't get any color in the plugs.

Now, I tend to go overkill on fuel system, but many years ago when dad ran a 406 in his Jeep, we ran stock lines, stock pump/etc. on his 532HP 406 and never had fuel supply issues.

I went with a single large pump to keep up with both the motor and the bottle. Just isn't much room in a Jeep for 2 fuel systems!
Propane is out of my league, that's something I have never messed with.

In all my years messing with small blocks I have learned many things. One of the first things I learned is the long stroke in a 400 kills its rev potential.
You can talk about bigger heads and more ci all day but a 377 will rev so much quicker and higher with good parts it is no comparison imo.
Have you ever built a 400 that revved like a 350? No, it wont spin because of the long stroke...... dont give a fukc what head is on it. It's the rotating assembly that slows it not the amount of air air the heads flow.
We have built 400s and 377s with the best money can buy and the 377 will stomp a 406 every time in the upper rpms. A 377 with cola crank and oliver rods will spin to the moon,happily. A 400 with same parts wont go past 6500-7000 from what we have built, and takes all day to get there.
You need more then 23 ci to make up for 2000 rpms.
Gm made the 400 for trucks and heavy cars, if it had hotrod potential it would have been in camaros, novas, and chevelles.
Its a great torquey motor for a truck but the upper rpm power just isnt there imo.
Unless you actually build a 377 from your 406 you will continue to argue and throw out theries. Fuck theries, they dont win races.
And as far as a street machine goes it depends on the person. Im totally happy with a huge cam, low vacume and less torque down low. I like my street car to sound like a race car and run like one.
The 406 in camaro is quiet, makes huge torque and is a blast to drive. Anyone could drive it. The dz302 I had in it before made no torque,was lumpy and hard to drive.
I enjoyed each motor for what it was. I would bet my 302 put out the same hp with 100 lbs less torque then my 406. In a dragrace I think the 302 was just as fast because I cant hook up with the torque the 406 makes.
The 406 and 377 both great motors and each has their place. If I was building a car I would build a 377 because I am a rpm junkie. If I was building a truck I would build a 420 because torque at lower rpms work best.
Sorry to continue jacking your thread jake. I have always learned more by building shit and seeing what works then by listening to reason and theories. Just my. 02

Go back to laying tile Duane.

Put a good stroker crank in that 400, I believe you can get a 4.125 crank for around 300 bucks but don't expect a cheap crank to handle high rpms only push cheapies to 6000 to 6500 rpms. You will also need 6.00'' rods I don't remember what piston pin height you will require but the rule of thumb is longer rods are stronger than shorter rods. As for heads you can expect to gain around 15 to 20 hp from slapping on a set of vortec heads; that's a conservative number because intake cam and pistons have a big effect on how efficient a set of heads are. A good street-able cam is .450 to .500 lift and for compression I prefer around 10.5.1 but recommend only running premium fuel. When you put a larger cam in an engine it allows for more flow of air and fuel and because of the increase in volume the piston now has to compress more fuel and air to create a larger explosion so an increase of compression ratio will make a more violent explosion which translates into more HP. Just my .02
A 4.125 crank should make her a 441ci sb

I agree that theories don't win races. I also think we aren't derailing this thread too bad, and as long as it's kept civil, the OP may decide he wants to go another route.
With that said, I'd rather put more stroke in a motor.
My 430'ish SBC with some really old Brodix 23* heads made 629HP on pump gas, and I believe that was at the 6,200-6,300 mark. Not the highest HP maker, but it's a nitrous motor. I just tore that down this year. Been running it for 4 years now, and let's just say it gets sprayed hard enough.
Dad runs a 430'ish SBC in his Jeep as well, but he ran some old GM 363 18* heads. His motor made 780 on just motor and made peak power at 6,800 (IIRC).
He's now running some CFE 15* heads on the same 430'ish ci motor, and it makes more power now (not gonna say how much though).
I honestly don't know of anybody running a 377 though. In the 20'ish years I've been going to the dragstrip (asphalt and sand), I could count on 1 hand the number of them I've ever even heard anybody running.
I personally prefer larger ci, but that seems to suit my needs better.
My Jeep previously had a pump gas 383. Usually saw 7,500-8,000RPM at the track. According to the RWHP numbers it made when it was in the car, it should have been making 520-550 FWHP.
At the track, I ran one tenth QUICKER with the 430'ish setup on just motor, than I was with the 383 and a small 150 shot.

How important is spin up again? The engine only has to spin up another couple thousand rpm after launch? I'm sure it can get that done in a few seconds, maybe even a couple or more times during the quarter mile...
And you say, your built 406 with these expensive parts couldn't get within 2000 rpm of your 8500 rpm, 377? Really? My hyper-eutectic piston, hydraulic-cam 406 has no trouble hitting 6500 rpm and yours can barely hit 6500 rpm with the best parts money can buy? I smell something and it's not race fuel.
And, I've yet to see an engine that wouldn't rpm real quick with a healthy shot of N20.
Using your rationale of 377 is better than 406, we'd still be building "301"s (you know, that engine gear heads built before GM released the 302) because that "long" 3.48 stroke in the 350s revved up too slow. Don't forget, the big block guys better hurry up and swap their 454s back to 427s.
Displacement rules, if you have the proper parts to support it.

If the heads didnt flow enough for the 406 how could they make over 100 more hp on the 377? They were the best heads you could buy, back then. They were about the only 18° you could buy. Obviously things are different now.
We are not talking about bigblocks we are talking about 377vs 400, thats another discussion.
Like I said untill you build a 377 you will asume the 406 is better, just like we did years ago. Its all good.
If you like wasting the best part of a smallblock (rpms) go ahead but I feel like
small blocks are meant to rev. If you want to shift at 6000 you might as well have a bigblock . I like to shift at 8.000+ it's just more fun.

Chest X-ray facts
- A chest X-ray is most commonly used to detect abnormalities in the lungs, but can also detect abnormalities in the heart, aorta, and the bones of the thoracic area.
- Extra metallic objects, such as jewelry are removed from the chest and neck areas for a chest X-ray to avoid interference with X-ray penetration and improve accuracy of the interpretation.
- A chest X-ray can be used to diagnose many conditions and diseases such as pleurisy, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, bronchitis, cysts, tumors, cancers, asthma, pericarditis, cardiomegaly, heart failure, and fractures.
What is a chest X-ray?
A chest X-ray is a radiology test that involves exposing the chest briefly to radiation to produce an image of the chest and the internal organs of the chest. An X-ray film is positioned against the body opposite the camera, which sends out a very small dose of a radiation beam. As the radiation penetrates the body, it is absorbed in varying amounts by different body tissues depending on the tissue's composition of air, water, blood, bone, or muscle. Bones, for example, absorb much of the X-ray radiation while lung tissue (which is filled with mostly air) absorbs very little, allowing most of the X-ray beam to pass through the lung.
What is a shadow on a chest X-ray?
Due to the differences in their composition (and, therefore, varying degrees of penetration of the X-ray beam), the lungs, heart, aorta, and bones of the chest each can be distinctly visualized on the chest X-ray. The X-ray film records these differences to produce an image of body tissue structures and these are shadows seen on the X-ray. The white shadows on chest X-ray represent more dense or solid tissues, such as bone or heart, and the darker shadows on the chest X-ray represent air filled tissues, such as lungs.

The herbal alternative
Natural health goes mainstream
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | August 24. 2013 1:55AM
"The reasons for making your own herbal remedies are simple: They're easy, inexpensive and sometimes stronger than what you buy in the store," said Maria Noël Groves, a clinical herbalist and owner of Wintergreen Botanicals in Allenstown.
"Once you know the basics, you can create unlimited remedies to help heal many common ailments," she said.
Some good beginner herbs to plant are ones that are easy to grow and have a good safety profile, Groves said.
One of her favorites is lemon balm. It smells good, makes a great tea and can be infused in honey. It's also a good "general calming and uplifting remedy," Groves said, suggesting it for help with anxiety or insomnia. For external application, she said, it can help in preventing the herpes virus from replicating.
When it comes to pain or anti-inflammatory treatment, meadow sweet - one of the natural sources of aspirin - is an herb of choice, useful for treating headaches and stomach aches.
"They are a nice all-over detoxification, and they are nutritious," Groves said.
How to harvest
Depending on the remedy, harvest the leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, roots or barks of plants after researching what you aim to treat.
"If it doesn't look 'happy,'?" she writes, "don't harvest it."
Be an ethical harvester, Groves said, by never picking a plant that isn't abundant in the area. Harvest only 1 to 10 percent of available plants, she said, and always ask permission before harvesting on someone else's land. Also, she added, choose plants that are more like invasive weeds: dandelion, burdock, autumn olive, plantain and Japanese knotweed, for examples.
"When possible, harvest in a manner that promotes the growth of a plant," Groves writes in her teaching materials. "For instance, pinching off mint-like plants, carefully pruning small branches of trees for bark. Make sure to leave some flowers to go to seed, fruits for wildlife, etc."
Once harvested, the herbs can be steeped into a tea or put into a tincture, Groves said. Teas are often easiest to make and the least expensive to buy. They also can be gentler than other herbal remedies, she said, although the strength of the medicine depends on which herbs are used and the concentration of the tea.

Corporate Tax Reform: Bring It On, But Please Do It Right
Corporate tax reform is an idea that is starting to get some attention in Washington. This is one area that could be greatly improved by our legislators.
Blog Post: 5/9/2013

Corporate tax reform is an idea that is starting to get some attention in Washington. This is one area that could be greatly improved by our legislators. The United States currently has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world. Few will dispute that lowering our corporate tax rate will improve our competitiveness in the global marketplace. But there is a huge debate about how low the tax rate should go and which, if any, of the myriad of current tax incentives should be eliminated or changed.
The current corporate tax rate in America is 35%. Because of loopholes, deductions, tax credits and other incentives few corporations actually pay this rate. For instance, the manufacturing sector gets tax breaks if they manufacture on U.S. soil, invest in equipment, or engage in R & D activities. So the effective tax rate that the total manufacturing sector pays is actually about 17%, not the great 35%.
The Obama administration is proposing that we eliminate all of the tax breaks and lower the corporate tax rate to 25%. So the effective tax rate for manufacturers would go from 17% to 25%. So Obama is more interested in raising revenues for the federal government than he is in making American manufacturers more competitive. Clearly, this is not the way to go.
I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of eliminating loopholes, deductions, credits, etc. Get rid of all of them. They distort the market, and thereby end up doing more harm than good in the long run. But once all of the incentives are removed, the corporate tax rate should be lowered to 20%.
I did not pick this number at random. It turns out, that 20% is the best the government can ever hope for no matter what. History shows that government revenues over the past few decades always fall in the range of 17% to 19%. It does not matter what the prevailing tax rate is at the time, and it does not matter how much the government spends. Total federal revenues never rise above 20% of GDP. When the rates are higher than 20%, corporations find ways not to pay. The most popular way to avoid paying more than this is to simply move your operation overseas.
So if 20% is the best they can do, let's just make this the rate and be done with it. The money that manufacturers currently spend hiring tax consultants, and tax lawyers, and accountants could be spent on workers or equipment that actually produce competitively priced goods and services. I believe that money would be repatriated from overseas, and compliance rates would improve significantly. The net result would be more revenues for the government. It would also make us a more competitive place for foreign companies to invest.
I can think of no downside. Lowering rates to the optimal level of 20% is good for everyone, even Democrats and Republicans. So why are we waiting?

Late Goal Dooms Phoenix in 1-0 Loss to Cleveland State
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay (4-6-4, 1-3-0 HL) controlled possession and gave itself plenty of chances on Saturday afternoon at Aldo Santaga Stadium, but the Phoenix was unable to find the back of the net and dropped a 1-0 decision to visiting Cleveland State (8-7-1, 2-3-0 HL) in Horizon League women's soccer action.
Green Bay dominated in shots in the opening 45 minutes, taking 14 shots compared to just three for the Vikings. Junior Hannah Kernen (Green Bay, Wis.) had the best chance to score in the 40th minute, but her header just glanced off the far right post.
In the second half, the Phoenix continued to have chances to dent the scoreboard. In the 79th minute, Kernen again threatened, but CSU keeper Sarah Wood made a nice save on a 1-on-1.
Sophomore keeper Katy Pilarzyk (Madison, Wis.) entered the game at halftime for the Phoenix, and in the 82nd minute momentarily preserved the shutout with a diving save.
Later in the same minute, Pilarzyk was unable to make another miraculous save when Amanda Sivic scored to the far left post after the Phoenix attempted to clear a corner kick. It was the fifth marker of the season for Sivic.
Green Bay will be in action again on Wednesday, traveling down I43 to Milwaukee to play the Panthers at 5:30 p.m.

I went in thinking that my flowers would not matter that much, but the flowers ended up being one of the most stunning details. They were fragrant and fresh. The flowers were arranged beautifully and they were reasonably priced. I had four bouquets, two corsages, five boutonierres, and a whole bunch of loose flower for a little over $400.
I can't say enough about how amazing Esther and her team at Special Touch Florist were for our wedding!! She had amazing reviews from everyone I visited with, my bridal salon, my venue, my photographer, etc. She was kind and thoughtful and gave me amazing suggestions to help me through the process and their prices were much less than I expected after visiting with other florists. She had no problem delivering centerpieces to my reception venue and bouquets, etc to my church. Her flowers were beautiful and I was thrilled her in every way!

For many women, bone loss is a concern, especially as menopause nears. More than half of women over age 50 have osteoporosis, when bones lose their strength and there is a greater risk of fracture. If you are nearing menopause or if you are already there, read more to find out how you can protect your bones.
Why Does Bone Loss Occur?
When you are young, your body loses and creates bone at about an equal rate. Your body reaches its highest bone mass around age 30. After that, your body begins to lose bone faster than it can be replaced. Once you reach menopause (which usually begins around age 51), bone loss speeds up dramatically. This is because your body begins to produce less estrogen and progesterone, which causes your bones to absorb less calcium. This puts you at higher risk for bone fractures. Fractures are most common in the back, hip, and wrist.
How Will I Know If I Have Bone Loss?
Your doctor may recommend a test of your bone density (or thickness) to learn if you have bone loss. The test is call dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Your doctor may recommend testing if you:
- Are over age 65
- Are postmenopausal with risk factors, such as:
- Are going through menopause and have an increased risk for fracture (eg, low body weight, prior fracture, certain medicines)
- Have had a fracture after age 50
- Have a condition or take a medicine associated with bone loss
There are other risk factors, so talk to your doctor for a complete list. Also, ask your doctor about whether bone density testing is right for you.
Signs of osteoporosis can include sloping shoulders, height loss, back pain, and hunched posture. If you are concerned about these symptoms, talk to your doctor to see if testing is right for you.
How Can I Minimize Bone Loss?
One of the major factors that influences your likelihood of developing osteoporosis is the condition of your bones before you reach menopause. That is why it is important to take care of your bones early in life, especially if you have risk factors for osteoporosis. But if you have already reached menopause, it is not too late! You can take steps to slow bone loss.
Eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Beginning around age 30, all women should take at least 1,000 mg (milligrams) of calcium each day. At age 50, increase the amount to 1,200-1,500 mg each day. You should also eat a balanced diet full of calcium-rich foods, like dairy products and spinach.
Vitamin D is also important for bone health. Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Natural sunlight produces vitamin D in your skin, but many people also need to take a vitamin D supplement. Talk to your doctor. Milk and cereals are often enriched with vitamin D. You can also get vitamin D from egg yolks and salt water fish.
Your bones will stay strong longer if you give them daily use! Weight-bearing exercise is the type of activity that helps your bone health the most. Many everyday activities fall into this category, like walking, climbing stairs, and gardening. Jogging, running, and dancing are some other great options.
If you are concerned about bone loss, talk to your doctor. To treat or prevent osteoporosis and fractures, he may recommend medicines, like:
- Bisphosphonates—These drugs can treat bone loss and may even help you build bone mass.
- Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)—These help slow the rate of bone loss.
- Calcitonin—This is a naturally occurring hormone that can slow bone loss.
Other important lifestyle changes include:
- Decrease your consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
- Do not smoke! If you smoke, learn about options that can help you quit.
- Reduce trip and fall hazards in your home.
Whether you are nearing menopause or postmenopausal, bone loss is worth thinking about! You can make simple lifestyle changes that can help you build healthier, stronger bones and minimize bone loss.

text: Yu Na Kim's dream of a 2nd straight Olympic Gold might well happen but if anyone is going to foil it I believe it would be Adelina Sotnikova. Sotnikova has many factors going for her that make her a very dangerous threat to Kim, and I believe her biggest threat: -Olympics on home ice. -9th at pre Olympic Worlds, same as Shizuka at the pre Turin Olympic Worlds. -Very powerful jumps with great technique and triple-triple combinations. Does all types of triples unlike Kim. -Very strong spins. -Tremendous presentation. -Great basic skating skills and speed and power. Most importantly she seems to be gaining the consistency to become the Champion people have long predicted her to become. Her performances at WTT, especialy her SP, showed she is in the right direction in that regard and will probably continue to do so. I am not outright predicdting she will beat Kim for the Olympic Gold, but I think she is her biggest, and possibly only threat. Kostner is too inconsistent, even though she has greatly improved her consistency it is still not enough to do clean competitions which she needs for any chance vs Kim. Mao just has too much question marks when she attempts a very hard jump layout, but she has no chance vs Kim without one.

Picture the scene in the HP boardroom when the board members decide the company needs (another) new CEO. They had trouble just last fall finding outside candidates and don't seem satisfied with internal candidates. I can imagine a New Yorker cartoon–like scene, where they all agree to draw straws, and the board member drawing the short straw gets the CEO job!
But it was not like that. The board realized something that Forrester felt for some time — that HP needs better communications to customers, markets, and employees. Meg Whitman, former eBay CEO, is a not an obvious choice, especially given her primarily consumer and web business experience. But she brings strong Silicon Valley roots, something lacking in HP's recent CEOs, which should help a lot with injecting new energy into HP. And she starts with a strong business reputation for growing eBay, being a good leader, and communicating well. Plus she's got a nine-month head start as board member on understanding HP over any outside candidate.
As the new HP CEO, Whitman faces a difficult situation. HP has a strong set of products and customer brand that are being damaged by the uncertain directions of the board and the repeated CEO turmoil. Meanwhile, the Wall Street traders and technology press are overreacting, as they often do — HP has solid product and service offerings that are just as good as they were last week, before the latest leadership turmoil. So what should she do?

I have seen some pretty appalling Victorian improvements to parish churches!!
There is a simple & advance search which can be used to locate the parish church plans, if they exist and if they are on the database. The database does hold thousands of plans so it is well worth a look.

Botany Downs National SS Champs
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 04 April 2012 00:00
- Written by Daniel Silverton
Botany Downs Secondary College boasts the team to beat in high school baseball after adding the North Island title to its win in [last seasons] Auckland championship.
They beat Glenfield College, which had Major League Baseball signee for the Baltimore Orioles Pita Rona in its line-up, 16-7 in the final at Crossfield Reserve, Glendowie, last Friday.
Led by batter Sam Long and pitcher Jacob Burgin, who were both named in the All-Tournament team, Botany went through its seven games unbeaten.
Manager Richard Henty says the side was "optimistically confident" going into the tournament with a couple of additions to the team which beat King's College in the Auckland decider in December.
"We were expecting to win," says Henty. "The team has a good nucleus of coach and players and we head-hunted cricket players with strong throwing arms and hand-eye coordination."
With pitchers restricted to throwing 80 pitches a game, once Botany had seen off Glenfield's starter Rona, who topped the batting stats and was named tournament MVP, the hits and runs totted up.
A six-run fourth inning gave Botany a 9-5 lead, before three homers in the fifth provided the final score.
"The team was ecstatic at the end," says Henty. "We'd had a massive lead, so it felt like victory ahead of that time. The three home runs allowed the guys to rush out of the dugout to celebrate."
St Kent's Taylor Simmons and Jordan Hosking were also named in the All-Tournament team.

Dylan Irwin, Sam Long, Jacob Burgin, Abba Dassannyake, Matthew Broughton, Hamish Dickason, Thomas Flanagan, Cole Holland, Anthony Holtzhausen, Zachary Petersen, Stefan Williams, Oran Henry, Vishant Kumar, Taylor Lightfoot, Diinkant Ravichandran. Coach: Mark Irwin. Manager: Richard Henty.

The nine operating locations will be strategically situated in the cities of São Carlos, Ribeirão Preto, Franca, Bauru, São José dos Campos, São José do Rio Preto, Botucatu, Araçatuba and Presidente Prudente, and are set to be completed by May 2015.

With more flexible pick-up times and faster time in-transit options, we can better provide high-quality logistics solutions in the largest market in Latin America."

The in-country growth will employ more than 3,000 employees, creating an estimated 100 new jobs and adding more than 800 third-party staff positions.
"Enhanced reliability and faster service will allow our customers to raise their inventory and provide high quality products that will help lead to increased profits," added Moreno. "UPS is creating end-to-end benefits and maintaining a competitive advantage by offering tailored services and solutions for our customers."

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS - A total of 15 student-athletes, including North Carolina juniors Crystal Dunn and Kealia Ohai, have been selected as semifinalists for the country's top soccer award Wednesday as the Missouri Athletic Club's (MAC) Hermann Trophy semifinalists were made official.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual award in intercollegiate soccer. It is presented annually in January during a banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
NCAA Division I coaches who are NSCAA members may vote for their top choices starting Wednesday, Nov. 28 through Wednesday, Dec. 5. New this year is a fan voting component, conducted through LockerDome, which allows fans to also contribute to picking this year's MAC Hermann Trophy winners.
Dunn was on the preseason Watch List for the MAC Hermann Trophy while Ohai earned her way on to the ballot of semifinalists and a brilliant 2012 season.
Both players were named first-team All-ACC this year and they will lead the Tar Heels into the NCAA College Cup this weekend when Carolina meets Stanford Friday at 11 p.m. EST in the semifinals. Dunn was also named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, an award she also won in 2010. She is a three-time first-team All-ACC selection, while Ohai was named first-team All-ACC in both 2010 and 2012 and to the second team in 2011.
Dunn and Ohai also were members of the U.S. U20 National Team which won the World Cup Championship in September in Japan. In the gold medal game against Germany, a 1-0 triumph for the U.S., Ohai scored the game-winning goal off an assist by Dunn.
The top three vote-getters for the Hermann Trophy will be announced Thursday, Dec. 6. The winner will be announced during the MAC Hermann Trophy banquet in St. Louis on Friday, Jan. 11, 2013.

Impressive equipment line-up awaits visitors to Las Vegas show
When the Las Vegas Convention Center opens its gates for this year's big construction exhibition (March 15-19), visitors will be confronted with an impressive display of high-technology drill rigs, breakers, compressors and other related construction equipment.
The display, from the worldwide manufacturer Atlas Copco, promises to showcase a number of new product innovations not yet seen on world markets.
Located at Booth C5773, on the right-hand side of the Center's Central Hall, Atlas Copco plans to display five surface crawler rigs, three portable air compressors, two generators, Secoroc hammers and bits, as well as hydraulic breakers and other construction tools.
Among the many products on display will be:
Drill rigs ROC F9CR, EMC-585 and CM-780D DTH
Secoroc's new Total Depth TD80 DTH hammer
Symmetrix overburden drilling system
Air compressors QAS 14, QAX 20, XAS97, XAS 756
The world's largest hydraulic breaker attachment HB 7000
Horizontal directional drilling tools
The ROC F9CR represents the second generation COPROD system which combines all the benefits of tophammer drilling with the accuracy of down-the-hole drilling. The rig has a more powerful rock drill which gives a higher drilling capacity. The COPROD impact rods and drill tubes have also been considerably improved. This includes a new a stronger tube and thread connection which increases service life, especially in abrasive rock formations. This, in turn, enhances the drillstring's outstanding resistance to deviation.
Accompanying the ROC F9CR are the ECM-585MC and CM-780D crawler rigs from Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions, both of which have significant new features and design improvements. Designed for 3 ½ inch (89 mm) holes to depths of 84 ft (25.6 m), the ECM-585MC has a single lever automatic rod changer, two lever drilling controls and increased operator comfort and visibility in the universal cab. The CM-780D is designed for 6 ½ inch holes (165 mm) in hard rock to a depth of 100 ft (30.5 m). With a ground clearance of 17-inches (432 mm) and full length track guards, the CM-780D is ideally suited to heavy duty drilling operation in rough terrain.
The Total Depth 8-inch hammer (TD80) is ideal for 77/8 -inch to 11-inch hole sizes. It uses existing QL80 shank bits and has a patented air regulation system which enables the airflow to be perfectly matched to the compressor.
Symmetrix is a unique system for drilled casings which can be used in all ground conditions and at any angle to depths beyond 300 feet (approx 100 meters). There are three main components – a pilot bit with internal flushing holes and external grooves, a symmetrical ring bit (reamer) and a casing shoe for driving the casing. The pilot bit is attached to the ring bit with a bayonet coupling. Both rotate clockwise and together cut a hole sufficiently large to allow the casing shoe to pull down the casing pipe. Casing sizes range from 3-inches (76 mm) to 48-inches (1220 mm).
Another big eye-catcher will be the HB 7000 hydraulic attachment breaker. Weighing in at seven tons it is the largest of its kind in the world. Featuring Krupp percussion technology, the HB 7000 is ideal for demolition, trenching and foundation work as well as primary and secondary rock breaking in quarrying and mining.

Zora Neale Hurston
Earlier today, I covered Newsweek's myopic list of the 50 books that define and explain these confusing modern times. To recap: the list was 84% white, 78% male, 96% straight, and 66% both white and male.
Now, I'm not putting down white male writers. But there are many wonderful writers who are subject to significant oppression, and choosing to promote already coddled and significantly advantaged writers disproportionately contributes to that problem. Our country and our world is filled with brilliant and illuminating writers who do not fit perfectly into Jon Meacham's narrow idea of what the canon looks like.
In response to this list, I present:
50 Books for Post-Modern Times
One upcoming week in this space, I want to collect 50 works by writers whose bodies do not fit neatly into the canonical narrative. I want writers that reflect the issues of discrimination that we face today: writers of color, women writers, transgendered writers, QLBTGI writers, disabled writers. I want writers have shaped your feminist/progressive worldview. I want writers who "challenge the structure that would allow for domination of white male authorship."*
So: who inspires you? I'm going to solicit contributions from some of the bloggers who inspire me, but I want to hear from you, readers of Deeply Problematic. Give me up to five authors who face significant oppression. I'm especially interested in intersectional writers. There are no genre limitations.
To contribute:
- Leave a comment here with your submission, including why you love them, or
- Email me at email@example.com with your submission.
- How they inspire you
- What they contribute to our cultural narrative
I'm excited to hear from you!
*Description by the excellent M of Ped Xing, who named this project.

Groth Honored by Horizon League After Record-Breaking Weekend
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After breaking a pair of school records over the weekend, Green Bay volleyball senior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) has been tabbed as this week's Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday. It marks the sixth time Groth has earned such honors, and the third time in 2012.
Groth became Green Bay's career digs leader on Friday, posting a match-high 27 in her team's 3-0 victory at Wright State. Despite recording just six digs as a freshman in 2009, the senior's career total is now at 1,836, moving her ahead of former Phoenix standout Megan Elfering, who had 1,789 from 2005-08. The 27 digs on Friday were the second-most by a Green Bay player in a three-set match, just two shy of her own school record of 29 which she set earlier this season against Auburn.
The libero's second record of the weekend came in Saturday's regular season finale at Valparaiso, where she tallied a team-high 22 digs to push her season total to 665. The total broke her own single-season standard of 659, which she set last year as a junior.
"Our senior class continues to make an impact on our record book," Green Bay head coach Debbie Kirch said. "It was certainly a big weekend for Brittany, not only breaking the career digs record, but also the season record. What makes it even more impressive is that she didn't start wearing the libero jersey until almost half way through her sophomore season. She has done a lot in a short period of time, and I'm very proud of how far she has come."
Groth, who also earned conference player of the week honors on Sept. 24 and Aug. 27 this season, leads the Horizon League and ranks third in the NCAA with 6.27 digs per set. The average would break her own single-season record of 5.78, which she set in 2011.
Green Bay volleyball begins Horizon League tournament play this Friday when the fifth-seeded Phoenix takes on fourth-seeded Loyola at 4 p.m. CT in Cleveland, Ohio. Green Bay split its matches with the Ramblers this season, falling 3-2 in Chicago on Oct. 6 and winning 3-0 at the Kress Center on Nov. 2.
