IF only Hugh Hefner could keep his hands away from those Playboy bunnies, he might come off a bit more like Jeff Brauer, the strait-laced strategist behind On Your Own Publications, publisher of ''Sexy New York City,'' an annual guidebook to Big Apple erotica; Zany's, a reference tool for apartment seekers; and the brand-new ''Queer New York,'' a compendium Mr. Brauer predicts will become ''a bible for the gay community.''
Mr. Brauer is a strictly business, hands-off-the-merchandise publisher, all work and no play, and does not necessarily practice what his burgeoning empire -- ''Sexy,'' Zany's and ''Queer'' are expanding into Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco -- preaches.
He is not gay (he's single, still trying to woo back his old college flame, Veronica Wiles, a lawyer who helped formulate his first book, a beyond-skin-deep travel guide to El Salvador, while they were in law school). He rents a nondescript studio apartment on the Upper West Side -- the cheapest one in the building. Until he checked with a friend after cringing his way through the proofreading chores for the inaugural ''Sexy'' edition in 1998, he had no clue what a dominatrix is or does: ''I almost died when I found out.''
Unlike his literary role models, the Zagats, he tends not to sample the wares his books review. As for food, he sticks to the under-$10 selections at Katz's Delicatessen. A bon vivant he isn't. Anyone wanting to catalog Mr. Brauer, at 32 an aggressively earnest millionaire-in-training, in terms of a geometric shape would likely place him just left of square.Continue reading the main story
Yet he is the mastermind behind ''Sexy New York'' -- when his distributor told him that books about New York City and sex sell far better than obscure travel guides, he took the ball and dunked it. Now he is the darling of the city's soft-pornography industry, and the feeling is mutual: ''I couldn't have survived without the cash flow generated by sales at the city's porn shops,'' he admits. ''For better or for worse, I'm on good terms with everybody in the industry.''
On occasion, he even dusts off his law degree (University of Virginia, 1997) and provides free advice to peep and pornography proprietors concerned by the city government's apparent lack of empathy for their First Amendment rights.
But don't ask him to pose with the suggestive advertising poster for the backbone of his business, ''Sexy New York,'' a 218-pager that definitely delivers on the triple-X rating stamped on its spine: ''It's too embarrassing,'' he says, working up a blush that melts into his modified brush cut. ''I'd rather look generic.''
So here he is in a desolate corner of Brooklyn, a publishing magnate in collegiate chinos and work shirt, holding down the fort in a $1,200-per-month warehouse at the decrepit but well-guarded (it's the only amenity) Brooklyn Navy Yard. The upside: it's a steal. He paid more in Manhattan for a closet bereft of the freight elevator necessary to hoist his 150,000-item inventory. The downside: nobody visits, not even his editorial staff members, mostly New York University students with publishing aspirations similar to those he had at their age.
Mr. Brauer has employed 100 people over the past three years and, an exacting boss, has hired and fired 200 others ''Unfortunately, even in a talent-filled city like New York, the flakes outnumber the rest of us nearly two to one.''
Now his product -- born in his parents' basement in Gaithersburg, Md., printed in Singapore, distributed everywhere from subway newsstands to Gracious Home and Staples -- is in turnkey shape, with sales of $1 million anticipated this year, And it is, surprise, surprise, for sale. Mr. Brauer estimates its worth at $2 million to $10 million and says he is ready to walk away from ''the monster'' he built: ''I achieved my goals. There's nothing left for me to do.''
NOT that he intends to retire if he divests himself -- he says Fairchild Publications expressed interest last year -- of On Your Own Publications. He's still got law school loans to repay (he spent the nest egg his parents gave him for school on the El Salvador book and its follow-up, a guide to weekend jaunts in Washington), but he may become a different kind of publisher.
As a bored undergraduate at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., (''There were more cows than students''), Mr. Brauer studied Chinese and Russian and won a scholarship to study in Taiwan in 1988 and '89. ''I was there during what turned out to be the middle of the democracy movement and, ultimately, the Tiananmen Square massacre. What a blast! The U.S. Embassy told us to go home, but I stayed. I just had a gut feeling I would never get the chance to take part in anything like this again. My mom says I made my father's hair turn white.'' He went to the mainland, mingled with protesters, came back changed.
He developed a fascination with the world's despots and dictators, wrote letters to 50 of them pretending to be basing his college thesis on them, and received four replies, including invitations to visit Albania and Ghana. Before entering law school -- it was understood that he would, like his father, an Internal Revenue Service administrator, get a law degree -- he backpacked through Asia and Eastern Europe, rekindling his interest in foreign politics.
''It seems to me the nightmarish existence of someone like Laurent Kabila the Congo leader who was just killed, would be a heck of a thriller. I'd like to publish it. So I guess you can say, 'Goodbye to sex and the city, hello Benazir Bhutto.' ''Continue reading the main story

The Global Shapers
Community is a network of Hubs developed and led by young people who are
exceptional in their potential, their achievement and their drive to make a
contribution to their communities.
Over one hundred and ten Global Shapers representing 15 Latin American countries met in Panama City, Panama. The name of the event was SHAPE; and shaped us it did.
The main topic of the conference was
Rethinking Development in Latin America. There is a general conception that Latin
America is a region with great potential for growth and development; but…what
is development? What are the bases of development? How can we achieve this
status wanted by so many people? Who are the key players in the development
In order to help the Global Shapers find answers to these questions so that they can return to their countries and support development, the Global Shapers Panama City Hub created a very diverse agenda, in which the Global Shapers learned, experienced, and discussed their ideas with a wide variety of people who have different ideas of what development truly is and how it can be achieved.
Among other activities, we had the opportunity of meeting with Panama's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who dazzled us with astonishing statistics on how Panama and the region are having incredible economic development. We also met with several local indigenous tribes that live in the paradisiac island of Guna Yala who reminded us that our culture and roots are the basis of development. On Sunday morning we met with members of the Panamanian local community, ranging from age six to ninety, who agreed that education is the key for development. And finally, we had an outstanding, eye-opening, and moving talk with Coca-Cola Executives from Latin America who made us realize the key role that corporations play in development by sharing with us the inspirational corporate social responsibility projects they are leading in Latin America.
As a lawyer and professor, I found this last presentation overwhelmingly interesting. Having the opportunity to learn how The Coca-Cola Company is aiding community development in a wide variety of areas such as: poverty, entrepreneurship, health, environment, and even cultural topics, is truly inspiring as it teaches us that not only NGOs and government offices are helping improve the state of the world. Through the entire conference we learned that Coca-Cola, as well as many other corporations, have been a key player in helping to achieve development in Latin America, and that they will continue to do so as it is in their DNA.In the end, I believe that entire SHAPE event was a big success, as was proven in our warm closing ceremony where even tears of joy were evident. And, even though we could not agree on an objective meaning of the term "development", we reached a general consensus that it has something to do with well-being and happiness. I am sure this conference was productive for all of the Shapers that attended and it feels comforting to know that in the future we will see even more positive impact in the region by the Global Shapers.
Gabriel Silva is a Global Shaper in the Panama City, Panama Hub. He is a lawyer and professor and you can find him on Facebook.

Is Excess Fluid making you look & feel bloated?
Fluid retention can be responsible for swollen limbs and that bloated feeling! What makes it worse is this swelling and bloated feeling can be uncomfortable.
The good news is you don't have to accept fluid retention as a fact of life. You can do something about the bloating and other symptoms of fluid retention. Now there's a new formula called Fluid away, which has been developed just for you!
For people suffering from fluid retentionFormulated by the clever researchers at the Australian natural health company, Caruso's Natural Health, Fluid away has been developed for people suffering from fluid retention. The high potency Fluid away tablet contains three powerful herbs; Celery, Dandelion and Phyllanthus, as well as Vitamin B6
The first powerful herb in this formula is Celery seed. It is a well known diuretic and urinary antiseptic and may assist in the treatment of fluid retention. The second herb is Dandelion. It has been traditionally used as a diuretic and may assist with fluid retention. The Ayurvedic herb Phyllanthus may assist with fluid retention because of its diuretic action.
The fourth ingredient in this comprehensive formula is Vitamin B6. This vitamin is well known to assist with fluid retention. Vitamin B6 is also used to alleviate some forms of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, especially anxiety and fluid retention.
As a bonus, Caruso's Fluid away is very versatile. In addition to fluid retention, Caruso's Fluid away may be able to help you with a whole range of other health conditions.
Are you suffering from rheumatism, arthritis or gout?If your joints are stiff and swollen because you suffer from rheumatism, arthritis or gout, Caruso's Fluid away may be able to help you with these conditions.
For stomach aches, dyspepsia and digestive healthDandelion and Phyllanthus are great for fluid retention. They are also used for dyspepsia. Dandelion may even be used to soothe an irritated stomach. In addition to this, Dandelion acts as a liver tonic and aids digestion. Phyllanthus may be used for stomach aches and it may help assist your liver's function.
Need more energy?May be Caruso's Fluid away can help! Because Vitamin B6 is involved in the production and release of energy, it may help your energy levels. Vitamin B6 also supports general health and wellbeing.
So if you are fed up with the puffiness and bloating of excess fluid, you should try Caruso's Fluid away.
Another good thing about Caruso's Fluid away is you don't need to get a prescription to use it.

Poodles did not always roam the Earth. Before they became permed and pampered pets they were bred in Germany as pudelhunde, or splash dogs, trained to retrieve shot game from water.
Yesterday the committee, facing Mr Blair for the last time, tried and failed to shake off the poodle image. But now and again they splashed out and laid a dripping dead duck at his feet.
The session began as it continued, in vaguely surreal fashion. The prime minister emeritus demanded a "permanent revolution" in public services. We needed "self-sustaining, self-generating change".
All must change, an endless spinning whirl of change, like Chairman Mao without the mass starvation.
Then we had a mad discussion about "sofa government", which Mr Blair took to be not a description of his secretive style of government, but a request for decor tips. He did have a sofa in his office, but visitors needed somewhere to sit. It wouldn't do to just have his own desk and chair. This was getting like Hello! magazine as he showed us round his cosy private den.
Things only became stroppy when we reached Iraq. Tony Wright (Labour) reminded him that in 2003, he had said that the test would be what Iraq looked like in a year's time.
"Four years on we know what Iraq looks like. Isn't it your tragedy that you happened to be prime minister while the crazies were in the White House?" he asked.
Splodd! The dead duck landed at his feet. Mr Blair rambled on about how 9/11 had been planned before George W became president, as if that had anything to do with it.
Edward Leigh (Conservative) told him he had given "a vicious twist to terrorism and sectarianism ... on your political tombstone will be one word: 'Iraq'."
"I don't write what's on my tombstone," Mr Blair replied crisply. Well, if he doesn't, Alastair Campbell probably will.
Mr Leigh refused to stop. Did he not have a "smidgen" of doubt? (Or perhaps this poodle was bringing home a pigeon. Or a widgeon.) In the dark watches of the night, didn't the thousands of dead ever come back to haunt him?
Mr Wright returned, a dead albatross in his jaws. "What struck me was your absolute certainty ... does your destiny get in the way of facts? Do you ever have doubt?"
"You are," added Mr Wright, like one encouraging a schoolboy who has failed all his GCSEs, "one of the nicest people ever to have been prime minister". The committee collapsed in mirth.
But Gordon Brown was banging on about the need to restore trust. Was that code for Iraq?
By now Mr Blair must have felt that the pile of wet and bloody feathers by his wellies was really quite big enough.

I'm sure glad I read this thread. I thought the PDF extension had been abandoned by Oracle. I just downloaded it, installed it and opened a PDF file in Draw with no problems. The only thing I did that was different from the steps enumerated by the OP was after opening Draw and selecting Open I changed the File Type to PDF.

Meadow Gist, a young American painter, is member of both the California Art Club and Oil Painters of America. Gist has studied at Watts Atelier for the past six years, and has taught there for the last three. She began her art career in the corporate field painting displays and murals for a major retail chain. Her work has been exhibited as a finalist in the International Artist Magazine's Still Lifes and Florals Competition 2006 and as a "Top 50" selection at Salon International 2007.
Nature's colors have inspired Meadow from an early age. It was her love of nature and the hope of capturing the beauty around her that originally attracted Meadow to art. The artistic efforts of a young girl revealed an intensity and vibrancy that remain in her work today. Her first years of art education proved a frustrating experience due to a lack of formal training. Meadow then sought out Jeff Watts at Watts Atelier of the Arts. It was here that she began her study in earnest, and was exposed to the paintings of artists such as Nicolai Fechin, Anders Zorn, Cecilia Beaux and Dean Cornwell.
"My current work in the Colonial Era requires research into period-appropriate attire and environments. I use authentic materials such as silk, linen, and wool. The creation of custom dresses and suits is an art of itself. I think of a time when everything was created by hand, and a reflection of both wearer and creator". Meadow - Art Instructor, is represented by Willow Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona.

But almost two years after his death a fund set up to build an £80,000 statue of Belfast's favourite son has raised just £2,000 – and half of that was donated by Northern Ireland striker David Healy.
Organisers of the George Best Trust admit they are on the verge of giving up the project because of a lack of interest from former fans. They had hoped to unveil the statue on the second anniversary of Best's death – November 25.
Scroll down for more...
Belfast City Council set up the trust in the outpouring of emotion after the star's funeral, which was watched on TV by 100million people worldwide. But money has barely trickled in to the fund since it opened last December.
Trust spokesman Eamon Deeny admits he is disappointed.
He said: There has been very little interest from businesses or corporate groups and, even though there is still great affection for George, people don't seem to be donating."
Best enjoyed a dazzling career at Manchester United, where he started playing at the age of 15, but off-the-field temptations took their toll and he left in 1973 aged just 27. Despite appearing for Fulham and several American clubs, his career never hit the same heights and he began to spiral into a life of womanising and alcoholism.
Best was married twice – to Angela MacDonald-James and then to Alex Pursey.

PURPOSE: Literature suggests that the elderly account for approximately 17-48% of all ICU admissions. Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a common therapy administered in the ICU to support the failing respiratory system. National outcomes of elderly patients (particularly those aged 80 and above) undergoing IMV in terms of mortality and discharge dispositions have not been studied previously.
METHODS: Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2008, patients aged 80 or above, discharged with an ICD-9 procedure code for IMV (96.7) were identified. Outcome variables included all cause in-hospital-mortality, length of stay (LOS) and discharge disposition and were compared to age <80 years. Chi-square and Wilcoxan sign rank test were used to compare categorical and continuous variables between the two groups, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to adjust for demographical and hospital characteristics, primary payer and Charlson's co-morbidity index. A subgroup analysis was performed in those requiring prolonged IMV (>96 hours).
RESULTS: Patients aged ≥80 accounted for 18.7% of the 940,538 estimated hospital admissions requiring IMV. The unadjusted all cause in hospital mortality in patients aged ≥80 was 45.7% and 28.4% in patients with age <80 (p<0.001). The adjusted odds ratio was 1.9 (95% confidence interval 1.89-1.98). Patients with aged ≥80 had lower discharge rate to home (10.2% vs. 34.3%, p<0.001) and higher discharge rate to skilled nursing facility (41.4% vs. 17.8%, p<0.001) and hospice care (13.1% vs. 4.0%, p<0.001). Those requiring prolonged IMV, the mortality were significantly higher in ages≥80 (47.3% vs. 42.9%) and discharge to home was dismal (3.8% vs. 13.2%, p< 0.001) The LOS in patients who survived was not different in two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients aged 80 and above undergoing IMV have significantly higher mortality. Outcomes are worse in those who requiring prolonged IMV with only 3.8% of the survivors being discharged home.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Goals of care and quality of life need to be discussed in octogenarians and nonagenarians undergoing mechanical ventilation.

Office 2010 is the latest version of Microsoft's Office suite of products for the PC, which consists of a number of productivity applications. The most popular applications in the Office suite are Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Office 2011 is the latest version of Microsoft's Office suite of products for the Mac. This ITS training document is meant to help point you to the training resources that are offered. Contact the Technology Help Desk at x1000 or [email protected] with questions.
Office 2010 continues the implementation of the ribbon interface across the suite of applications. In addition, the File menu has returned and includes what Microsoft calls "backstage view".
Office 2011 for the Mac introduces the ribbon interface across the suite of applications.
All versions of Microsoft Office from Office 97 to Office 2003 have used the same file formats for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. Office 2007 and Office 2010 programs use the new XML based file format, which offers a number of benefits, including smaller file size and less risk for file corruption. Office 2007/2010 programs can still open and save documents in the older format, and there is also an add-on for Office 2000, XP, and 2003 that allows users to open Office 2007/2010 documents in the native XML format without actually having Office 2007/2010 installed.
You will be able to recognize Office 2007/2010 documents by an "x" added to the end of the normal extension name (e.g. .docx, .xlsx, .pptx) Office 2007/2010 users have the option to save down to the previous versions' formats, but that is not the default. Luther faculty and staff can install the file converter to allow them to open and edit Office 2007/2010 docs.
A brief explanation of the compatibility pack is shown below. For more detailed information from Microsoft, see How to open and save Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 files in earlier versions of Office programs
The Office 2007/2010 compatibility pack for the Windows (PC) install is located at
The Office 2007 compatibility pack install for the Macintosh platform is located at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads
(Listed as "Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.1.5" and found in the top middle of the page under "Most Recent Update".)
Microsoft Office is provided to employees of Luther College on Luther-owned computers. If you are interested in having Microsoft Office on your home computer (not a Luther-owned computer), know that there are several Microsoft Office suites, for both the PC and the Macintosh, and there are many ways to purchase the suites as well.
Microsoft Office 2010 system suites:
One recent promotion from Microsoft is called "The Ultimate Steal" and provides Microsoft Office Professional Academic 2010 for only $99.95 to students at U.S. educational institutions who are enrolled with at least a 0.5 course load. For more information, visit http://www.theultimatesteal.com/
Who's eligible?
The Work At Home Program (WAH) allows Luther employees to install Luther licensed Microsoft Office on one home computer for use for work purposes only while employed at Luther. Budget director approval is requested prior to distribution of installation media, and a small fee for purchase of installation media and program administration will be charged to departmental accounts. For more information, including the Program Description and Request and Acceptance Forms, go to this page.
The Home Use Program (HUP) allows Luther employees to install Luther licensed Microsoft Office on one home computer for use for personal and/or work purposes while employed at Luther. The individual pays a $9.95 charge when ordering online. For more information, including the HUP Request Form, go to this page.
Employees who would like Microsoft Office on their home computer for personal use may purchase it themselves at academic pricing which is lower cost than found on the shelf. Students may also purchase software using academic pricing, though The Ultimate Steal (see above) is a better deal. Academic pricing is available by searching for a reseller in your area using the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/education. You can also purchase online at academic pricing on some sites, such as through http://www.academicsuperstore.com
As you are considering your purchase of Office 2010 for personal use on your home computer, keep in mind there are various suites offered – each with different products included and each with its own price tag. For more details on the suites, visit http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products.
ITS offers training on Office 2010 / 2011. Classes are available to each department upon request. Scheduled sessions are advertised through the Tuesday for more information as well as the list of training and instruction.
You can familiarize yourself with the new Office 2010 / 2011 suite and begin to learn about the changes, even before you have Office 2010 / 2011 installed on your computer. See the following links:
Microsoft Office 2010 upgrades are being gradually phased in during normal computer replacement cycles beginning Fall 2010. Office 2010 will replace Office 2007 on office and lab computers.
Microsoft Office 2011 upgrades are being gradually phased in during normal computer cycles beginning Summer 2011. Office 2011 will replace Office 2008 on office and lab computers.
Staff departments are on a distributed 2-year cycle. The staff rollout happens every two years. The departments are divided in halves, and each half is upgraded on alternate years.
The replacement cycle for faculty is being standardized with that for other employees at four years.
Computer labs and classroom podiums will have Office 2010 / 2011 prior to the start of Fall Semester 2011.

Amazing Piece of Technology!
Look no further. This is the soundbar of all soundbars! After trying several other soundbars I thought replacing bookshelf speakers with a soundbar was futile. Until I came upon the Klipsh R20B.||Instantly you notice the deep pounding bass that creates a pressure in your ears and that you can feel in your groin. Not boomy but tight and very accurate.||After that you then notice that you can act

[Question] What is the timeline for the creation of Venus and how, if at all, does it correllate with human history?
Reply by Michael Entity on January 27, 2008 at 4:47pm
The Artisan-cast Scholar fragment known as "Velikovsky" is correct to a certain extent, in that much of what is under the heading of "myth" and "gods and godesses" were stories used to help describe many events that were difficult to understand, ranging from astronomical events to extraterrestrial contact. He was incorrect, however, in terms of his time lines, at least in regard to his hypotheses about the creation of Venus, from what we can see, and we do not see a connection between the creation of Venus and the geographical areas known as the "fertile crescent."

The Beginning of Grace (9 of 9) by Jonathan McLeod
This content is part of a series.The Beginning of Grace (9 of 9)
Series: The Beginning
Jonathan McLeod
Genesis 3:20-24
And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them (v. 21).
Genesis 3 ends tragically. Adam and Eve have sinned. Suffering and death have entered the world. And they are being removed from the garden of Eden.
As they made their sad departure out of Eden, they might have asked themselves, ''Is there any hope for us?''
[Read Gen. 3:20-24.]
Imagine you have been shipwrecked on a deserted island. What's the first thing you would try to do? (Perhaps you've watched Man Vs. Wild with Bear Grylls.) If you're ever in that kind of situation, it would be helpful to know the ''Survival Rule of Threes.'' According to this rule, in extreme survival situations you can't survive more than three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, three weeks without food, and three months without hope.
We need hope. Hope is the expectation of something better (e.g., being rescued). Real hope is more than wishful thinking.
We probably won't ever be shipwrecked on a deserted island, but we all face a more troubling situation. Remember what God said would happen to Adam if he ate the forbidden fruit: ''You shall surely die'' (2:17). And the apostle Paul writes, ''Sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men'' (Rom. 5:12). ''Death'' probably means total death (physical and spiritual). We need to escape eternal separation from God (i.e., hell). Is there any hope for us?
Without GOD'S GRACE, there is no hope for us.
Grace is undeserved kindness. In Genesis 3, before there is an act of judgment (God removing Adam and Eve from Eden), there is an act of divine grace. What is this act of grace? It is God's provision of garments of skins for Adam and Eve (3:21). They deserved only judgment, but God showed kindness to them by giving them ...

This book is a 'must have' for smoothie enthusiasts! I have a 3 month old baby and have little time to spend in the kitchen. This book gives me healthy alternatives to garbage food and explains what supplements, herbs and additives can do for my diminishing energy levels. Delicious!
I was interested in a smoothie book and thought I would get this one because it focused on the 'health' aspect of smoothies. But I didn't like having to go out and buy most of the ingredients - and they were ingredients I didn't have on hand and had never bought before. It did do a very good job however of telling the reader what the ingredients and fruits, etc. are good for. If you are into more of the health aspect this book would be for you.

Chris Bundas –
I came across an article on Heavy.com this morning that had to do with my favourite place in the world… The beach! Who doesn't love the feeling of warm sand between your toes, the sound of waves crashing in the distance, seagulls chirping, all while the blistering sun beats its glorious rays down upon your face… Ahhh, Heaven on Earth, found by a body of water.
With summer's beautiful face peeking around the corner, anyone and everyone within driving distance to a beach will be cramming their sweaty arse's into a car and heading towards the water. That includes the freaks, the hipsters, and those not fit to leave the house…
Between the beautiful beach bods and all of nature's wonders, unfortunately, some unpleasant creatures will rear the heads and slide into the mix. If you find yourself baring witness to any of these beach atrocities, do yourself a favor… take sand, and throw it into your eyes…
So, with that said… Epic beach fails! Here are '20 Things You Don't Want to See at the Beach This Summer'!
Look kids! A sewage pipe! What could be more fun to play with than $#!t
I didn't know Borat set any fashion trends… Just keep walking, right off the dock… and drown, all of you… please!
And then the devil appeared, burnt to hell (literally), and whispered to little Stevie… You're next!
If the babes won't come to you… go to the babes! Photo'chop' da $#!t outta dem ladies!
Beach monkey's… interesting! Could have solved that one by staying in North America.
Look! A black cannon shooting $#!t into the water! Let's go swim out to it!
I love a lady in a two piece bikini as much as the next guy… However, one of these two is not like the other, guess which one?
Are you hitting the beach, or hitting a bank… Pick one and go with it!
Yes we see you have nice boobs… but sorry sweetheart, wearing a bathing suit that looks like something out of Star Trek, trumps your rack… you'll be laughed at.
I have no words for this one… I don't even know what to even call this look?
Boats are meant for water… not your camper! Call the lifeguard, we're gonna have an idiot drowning in 3,2… Actually, forget it… let the bastard drown.
They don't make the required SPF needed for Irish sun bathing…
Guaranteed, you'll see at least one family who has no clue how swimming works.
Bet you never thought you'd see a black metal surfer… Welcome to hell my little lambs…
Yup, gramps $#!t his drawers again…
4 hours in the car with your annoying friends, only to arrive finally at the beach and find out the water is what…!!!
Hazmat suits + the beach = you staying at home by the pool
And he's thinking, "put down the damn camera and take this damn thing off of me!"
Because life vests really aren't that safe…
No, don't mind the guy from the 3rd world country, who cares if he drowns…

I would guess that as the players get older/bigger/stronger that the head injury rates would be higher, or at the very least the same, not less.
Ive been a proponent of offering both contact and non-contact options for everyone. I see no good reason not too, as long as there are enough participants in each stream to make it viable.
Again, why are we only protecting pee wee players? If head injuries are significant enough at that level to remove hitting from their game, why not at other levels?
Do you believe the head injury guru's are going to be satisfied with removing hitting from pee wee? Im thinking they want to see it gone altogether, at all levels.

Cash-starved, mismanaged Ispat Industries has four bidders; but will 'Ispat-friendly' institutions step in to force a change in control?
Ispat Industries, which has been in dire straits for many years and has merely stayed afloat thanks to the combined largesse of financial institutions IDBI, ICICI, IFCI and State Bank of India (SBI), has four suitors for its cash-starved businesses: ArcelorMittal, Welspun, Sterlite/Vedanta group controlled by Anil Agarwal, and Navin Jindal, who controls the highly-successful Jindal Steel & Power. Interestingly, the Tatas, who run one of the largest steel businesses in the world, are not interested in the company.
However, while these four bidders have expressed interest in the deal, Welspun, which is the smallest of the four, wants to take the company over with the entire debt of Rs7,000 crores. The others want to pay off the institutional debt substantially.
While there can be more potential bidders for Ispat, the fact is that no deal is possible unless the financial institutions stop mothering the company and its promoters. Far from stepping in to discipline the promoters, the bankers have benignly watched Vinod and Pramod Mittal's mission to ape their estranged brother Lakshmi Mittal, who has built the largest steel group, ArcelorMittal, by stitching together favoured deals with governments around the world. In trying to emulate Lakshmi Mittal, the two brothers floated Global Steel Holdings, based in the tax haven the Isle of Man, though it is not clear how they funded their foreign adventure.
While Ispat Industries is struggling to even pay its salaries, power charges and interest, Global Steel Holdings is reported to be partnering with steel companies in various trouble-spots around the world. It apparently has steel operations in Bulgaria (and even owns the top football team there!), Nigeria, and runs a 20-year management contract to operate Zimbabwe Iron & Steel and coal blocks in Mozambique.
The Mittal brothers have also been reported to be fishing in another controversial spot, Libya. Most interestingly, The Economic Times reported in April this year that Global Steel was trying to get a stake in North Korea's Musan Iron Ore mines, estimated to hold reserves of more than seven billion tonnes. It looked strange that the Chinese, who dominate the global steel industry and have a stranglehold in North Korea, would let the discredited Mittal brothers enter into a deal with Musan.
As Moneylife wrote yesterday, over the past five years, Ispat Industries has defied every threat by its lenders to force a change of management and it has continued to raise fresh funds. Ispat's promoter-managers Pramod and Vinod Mittal have never failed to extract fresh funds, even when the company was on the verge of closure. Moneylife reported yesterday how Ispat Industires was sanctioned Rs130 crores by SBI just before its plants at Nagpur and Dolvi in Maharashtra shut down for a month. (Read: http://www.moneylife.in/article/4/11832.html)
The debt of Ispat Industries has been restructured twice already (2003 and 2009) against all prudent lending norms. Yet, neither the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) nor the government has even questioned the lenders about their continued largesse to the company and its continuing foreign adventures. If Ispat has to be salvaged and the banks' loans secured, a new owner will have to step in. What is not clear is why the institutions are postponing the inevitable.
State-run NTPC said its wholly-owned subsidiary NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd has appointed Anil Agarwal as its chief executive officer (CEO).
Mr Agarwal joined NTPC as executive trainee in 1977. He brings with him vast experience in the area of contracts. He has been associated with contracts related to power plants and also procurement of gas and coal for NTPC.

The local market opened almost flat as its Asian peers drifted lower in morning trade. A sell-off in realty and consumer durables stocks, after recent appreciable gains, was the main cause of the market ending unchanged today.
The market opened almost unchanged from its previous close, as Asian markets were under slight pressure. Realty, consumer durables and banking stocks pushed the market sharply lower. The indices, which witnessed a high degree of choppiness in the morning session, fell sharply lower in post-noon trade on selling pressures and a negative opening in most European markets. The market settled flat with a negative bias, ending its four-day winning streak.
The Sensex was down 25.77 points (0.13%) at 19,966.93. The barometer touched a high of 20,067.81 and a low of 19,877.12 during the session. The Nifty ended the session at 18.90 points (0.31%) lower at 5,992.80. The index swung between a high-low of 6,025.40 and 5,964.25, intraday.
The market breadth tilted towards the losers. The Sensex had 17 declining stocks while 13 stocks ended in the positive zone. The 50-share Nifty list closed with 27 stocks in the red while 23 stocks settled higher. The broader indices, which led the recent gains, bore the brunt of today's sell-off. The BSE Mid-cap index tumbled 2.30% and the BSE Small-cap index tanked 3%.
The top gainers on the Sensex were Hero Honda (up 2.47%), Cipla (up 1.76%), Jindal Steel (up 1.53%), Mahindra & Mahindra (up 1.19%) and Hindustan Unilever (up 1.10%). The laggards in today's trade were DLF (down 4.53%), Reliance Infrastructure (down 4.29%), Jaiprakash Associates (down 4.27%), Sterlite Industries (down 2.39%) and ACC (down 2%).
BSE IT (up 0.66%), BSE Auto (up 0.30%) and BSE TECk (up 0.29%) were the notable sectoral gainers. On the other hand, BSE Realty (down 4.29%), BSE Consumer Durables (down 3.63%) and BSE Metal (down 1.25%) were the top sectoral losers.
The Asian pack ended the last trading day of the week on a mixed note as investors were nervous ahead of the US jobs data, due to be released later today. However, the European Central Bank's move to continue supporting banks came as a relief to marketmen.
The Shanghai Composite was down 0.04%, the Hang Seng lost 0.55%, the KLSE Composite shed 0.15% and the Straits Times gave up 0.80%. On the other hand, the Jakarta Composite added 0.05%, the Nikkei 225 rose 0.10%, the Seoul Composite gained 0.36% and the Taiwan Weighted was up 0.45% at close of trade.
The government late Thursday said it is "actively considering" a request from the tobacco industry to increase the duration of display of a particular pictorial warning in cigarette packets.
There are two existing pictorial warnings like scorpion and damaged lungs while a new and stricter one-a cancer-stricken mouth-was to be depicted from 1st December. Such warnings are to be rotated every year.
Tobacco companies, which were under an impression that the timeline for 'mouth cancer' warning would get pushed back, had made representations to the health ministry seeking clarity on the matter.
The US markets settled in positive territory for the second day in a row as positive data kept pouring in. Pending sales of US existing houses jumped by a record 10% in October, which followed a 1.8% drop in September, the National Association of Realtors said. The number of applications for jobless benefits averaged 4,31,000 a week, over the month ended 27th November, the lowest level since August 2008, according to Labor Department figures. Retail sales at chain stores rose 6% in November, above the estimated growth of 3.6% and the year-ago gain of 0.6%.
The Dow surged 106.63 points (0.95%) to 11,362.41. The S&P 500 added 15.46 points (1.28%) to 1,221.53. The Nasdaq rose 29.92 points (1.17%) to 2,579.35.
Foreign institutional investors were net buyers of equities worth Rs386.12 crore on Thursday. Domestic institutional investors were net sellers of stocks worth Rs225.04 crore on the same day.
Market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday barred four companies-Murli Industries, Ackruti City, Welspun Gujarat Stahl Rohren and Brushman India-and their respective promoters from trading on the bourses for allegedly indulging in unfair trading practices.
The market watchdog has also barred one Sanjay Dangi and his group firms from dealing with any kind of securities. This ban has been imposed on charges of share price manipulation.
Following the development, Murli Industries ended 19.94% lower, Ackruti City tanked 19.99% and Brushman India declined 4.96%.
The country's largest realty firm DLF (down 4.53%) has sold 150 plots, garnering more than Rs 500 crore, in a township project at Gurgaon, sources said. DLF launched yesterday a 100-acre township 'Alameda' in Gurgaon.
In the first phase, it released 150 plots at Rs 60,000 a sq yard with inaugural discount of 10% and they were sold within a few hours of the launch, sources said. The plots are available in two sizes-540 and 700 sq yards.
Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL) (down 2.11%) has informed the Bombay Stock Exchange that it has acquired 100% stake in Naturesse Consumer Care Products Ltd and Essence Consumer Care Products Ltd from Muskan Projects Pvt Ltd for an undisclosed amount.
Naturesse Consumer and Essence Consumer own the brands Swastik and Genteel, respectively.
With the acquisition of these brands, GCPL has strengthened its position in the ever-growing Indian personal and household care segment.

I'm 23 years old have two boys 1 year 9 months and a 10 month old. I'm going to the Dominican Republic for a tummy tuck full back lipo and a breast lift with implants. I'm going to have my surgery with DR Hernandez Pizzoglio. I'm super excited and scared at the same time, I don't do too good with pain and I don't want anything to go wrong. I'll keep you ladies posted ! :)
Dominican Republic Plastic Surgeon
4.8 out of 5 stars 133 reviews
Surgery supplies and packing issues!
Soo my luggage Is already past 50lbs and I think I might have over packed it. I have like 10 maxi dresses or more, 7diffrent sandals, gauzes, wipes, neosporin, gloves, makeup, maxi pads, body spray, lotion, razors, sports bra, undergarment, back scratcher lol, sweat pants even though it's going to be 100 degrees in DR.......If I forgot anything please HELP.. Or any advice on what is really needed would be helpful
Tomorrow is my flight to DR!
So tomorrow around 9:15pm is my flight to DR! I'm so excited and scared and in total awe like really ...really am I having this surgery done next Friday! I am positive that the doctor I chose is going to do a great job! I did my research and chose someone board certified and doesn't have a bad rep or any deaths...I heard so many stories of women dying in DR but it's because they do it in a rush from one day to another without doing enough research or not taking the time to do the recommended test... well pray for me Ladies! And be Positive!
Tummy Tuck, full back Lipo, BBL
I had to change my procedure the doctor recommend that it's better to use the back fat to inject to my butt and leave the breast lift with implants for next time since it's too many procedures... Also the recovery time is too long if I do all at once and too risky.. I'm glad he talked me out of it because he's right the tummy tuck alone is a big scar...Dr. Hernandez Pizzoglio was so nice to me I don't know what other ladies were talking about him being rude.. My surgery is tomorrow morning Ladies at 5:30am wish me LUCK!
Discharge Day
So far everything is great I have a flat tummy all the staff here at the hospital are friendly. I'm feeling discomfort not too much pain.. I have to get used to walking with an arched back.
13 days post op
I'm feeling great just still swollen and trying to gain 5-10 pounds to get my results for the bbl. I love my results I still have stretch marks but it's okay as long as I have a flat tummy.. Good luck to all you ladies that are going to get surgery.. I can't wait to go to the gym to get toned!
Bbl pics-I still need to gain 5 pounds for better results than it's gym time
Still swollen and I have small towels under my garmet for extra pressure above my butt area and above my tummy tuck.
1 year 5 month update!!!
i am a year and 5 months post op. When I got my tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, and full back lipo I paid in total for the procedure 4,500 dollars plus what you spend on airplane tickets, clothing, and food while your in the Dominican Republic I think in total I spent roughly 6,000 dollars. I also went in to surgery weighting 150 pounds and came out weighing the same a few months after. I'm not sure if it was because I did a fat transfer to the butt for the lift but it could be a possibility. Anyways I was not happy after 5 months passed I was still swollen and my stomach had a pouch above my belly button. dr Alejandro Hernandez pizzoglio who did my surgery said it could have been a torn in stitches in the above abdomen or it could be that my stomach is too big. I was never obese in my post op pictures it was all stomach. My thought is that he didn't tighten me too much and resulted in loose stitches above my abdomen. Also I asked him to fix it and he is charging me an extra 2,000 dollars for anesthesia to fix the problem. So there is no warranty guaranteed in his work once you leave his office your on your own. If Dr Cabral didn't have a bad reputation with so many women deaths I would have gone to him takeaway he fixes his problems and gives you a 2 year insurance of anything goes wrong. I now weight 133 pounds that I lost on my own with excecise and diet.
I had a great surgery experience... Healing better than expected hardly no pain just swore. Didn't like ending results my stomach is not flat like I hope for.

Let's take a look at the proportions of change in this post.
5 mpg to 10 mpg to 15mpgis a DOUBLING and a TRIPLING or a HALVING or a THIRDING, depending on your current position.
What can you do with the daily driver to double/triple/halve/third your fuel economy?
You can ruin it pretty easily, but can you raise it? The laws of physics can only be stretched so far.
Are we making assumptions about the current set-up that there is something wrong?
Did not the original purpose of the coach have cost of operation as a consideration?
Google the heavy trade press. It is popularly accepted that the driver, best to worst, can fool with fuel consumption by 30%. That is where the encouragement for driver training in fuel economy and being sure the drivers know about fuel, as per RJ's post, where the drivers actually fueled the coach and had the opportunity for that feedback and comparisons.
If you make too much energy consumption available to the driver, it will get used.
If you limit the energy consumption available to the driver, it can't get used.
Witness the detail in the post by luvrbus:
240HP settings.
Cheapest parts change on your 2 stroke Detroit equipped coach?
Put the smallest injectors into it that you can find and see what you get?
As for the data collection methods...
The precision of the measuring is a huge variable.
The method and calibration of the distance measurement.
How far out does the odometer need to be off to damage the calculation?
The methods employed to fill the tank and over the calculation period, ensure that the tank is at the same level beginning and ending? You aren't trusting that every pump is accurately measuring the fuel are you?
How much fuel is in a 1/2 inch in your tank? How much fuel can be held in each degree of lean of the coach at the fuel island? Using inches, volume in US gallons is (length x width x height) divided by 231.
happy coaching!

Last time I was in Texas it seemed to me to be mostly flat... Not all, but mostly. I can see 9 or 10 mpg with a 240 hp setting in a country with no hills to speak of... My run through New Brunswick when I go to my other home has a 1,000 foot elevation change - but it does it about 10 or 15 times, on 6% grades or better, and I can't get 10 mpg in my pickup truck towing my car trailer!

To be completely fair, mileage is always going to be less climbing grades all the time no matter who the throttle jockey is. If you can pull off 9 MPG in the mountains climbing grades all day long, its gotta do better in the flats if you keep the speed down.
Speed is the single greatest fuel robber next to continuous speed changes. If your constantly giving it throttle to pick up a few mph, then coasting back down a few and throttling it up again, you will NEVER see good mileage. Bus, car, airplane, locomotive, it doesn't make any difference.
Regardless of its shape, a Bus has the aerodynamics of a barn door. Once the Bus is over 30 mph, air drag starts to become the greatest load the engine has to propel after parasitic losses. By 60 MPH the HP required to push it through the air is well over 100 HP. Its quite easy to find fuel burn charts on various Detroit diesels, which clearly show the fuel burn rate in gallons per HP per hour. Air drag also increases with the square of speed. Double the speed, you quadruple the drag HP. Whatever HP was needed to push the Bus through the air at 40 MPH, 80 MPH will require 4 times the HP. Or you could look at it as a 400% increase in power consumption. So then, to increase from 60 MPH to 80 MPH, which increases speed 25%, would require double the HP. There is no way your going to get the same fuel burn at 80 over 60, youll get 1/2 that or less.
Slow down, dont chase your speed with the throttle, use hills to your advantage whenever possible and safe, and do all the things ever told or written about maintenance regarding fuel economy. Then be precise in how you fill your tank, keep scrupulous records to track fuel economy, and lie through your teeth.
The only other thing that can be done, is to locate the sweet spot and keep it there as much as possible

Oh What fun we have reading these gossip wannabee hopeful maybe mpg numbers.
For me, the 12V-71/MCI7 W/10Sped direct & 3.73 with 11X24.5 got 5.9mpg always on flat land, who cares about running the hills, swaped over to the 8V-92@580hp 10spd OD, could get 7.5mpg, but more fun playing with traffic, fuel burn is the cheapest part of playing bus games, so why all the hot air ? WHO CARES, seems it is about like women lying about their weight.

Speaking of aero drag, I don't know why coaches in North America don't focus more on drag. Take the Neoplan Starliner for example:
This thing has a drag coefficient of 0.36!!! That's better than some sedans!
Having a modern power train, I don't doubt for a second these can crack 10 mpg on the hwy, driven conservatively. Mercedes achieved over 12 mpg in a 82,000 lbs euro semi.

Last year my friend was driving his Crown ten-wheeler with a 270 HP 6-71T and ten-speed non-overdrive Roadranger back from Sacramento to SoCal, and at a steady 55 MPH it got a shade over 10 MPG, including up and over Tehachapi. That was with all the seats out, but it still weighed in the mid-20s. The only reason he was driving so slowly was because his tach wasn't trustworthy, and he didn't want to risk over-revving the engine - he's used to a big Cummins 855 in his Gillig. Interestingly, I was following him in his Dodge Hemi pickup and got only 20 MPG, but he says that's the best it's ever done! (55 MPH all the way down 99 through California's Central Valley is
Aerodynamics and Cd numbers are largely unknown to most drivers here. Try asking a car salesman what the Cd is for a new car (or how much CO2 it produces), and you'll probably get a blank frog-like expression. Where gasoline is $8 a gallon, or more, those factors are of major importance. Some years ago one of the old Crowns got up to 102 MPH (on a racetrack!), but their aerodynamics are less brick-like than modern buses. My bus is far less aerodynamic than them, but the old adage of 6 MPG at 70 MPH and 7 at 60 pretty much applies to it. Older Crowns can sometimes get 11 or 12 MPG, either with Detroits or Cummins, but I'm guessing they would have the overdrive ten-speeds.
I wonder how much drag is caused by the flat backs of most buses, compared to the rounded rumps of older buses like Crowns and Flxibles? Maybe that's why they slip through the air better, because they have smoother airflow at their rears?

When you compare it to other vehicles that are considered fuel efficient, these old buses are VERY fuel efficient. My motorcycle averages 36-42 MPG. The average weight with me and my stuff is probably 1100 lbs. The average being 39 MPG, that is 28.2 lbs per MPG. My 4106 if the loaded weight is 26000, that is 3714 lbs per MPG.
I am not sure I did that comparison right, but the most fuel efficient motorcycle on the planet can't touch that.

That's true - and it continues up the scale - trains are more efficient than buses, and ships are more efficient than trains.
I share Iceni John's curiosity about whether the streamlined rear-ends on old Flxibles and similar were aerodynamically better than today's buses. I suspect they must be, because it's certainly true that most of the aerodynamic drag on a bus is from air vortices around the square back end.
Of course having a long, tapered back-end is impractical, so it seems that most effort on buses (as with trucks) is going into shaping the roof. How much of this is science and how much is styling I don't really know.
A shameless plug for my business - visit
for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

I have a theory about hills and mountains, I'd like to know what you think. I've proven this with my Chevy Suburban and can only assume it could apply to my coach.
When I'm driving my Suburban I get an average of about 18mpg. However, when I drive the mountains, I do better. My theory is that going up the mountain I probably drop to 10, 12, maybe 14 depending on how hard the grade. However, when I go down, I'm probably getting 30 or 35 or more. Engine is not working at all. So, all things being equal.. the drive up the mountain is equal to the drive down. So, if I take an average, doing the math that puts me well over 20mpg.
I took a trip through the eastern mountains a couple years ago, with four adults, and full load of luggage and got a trip average of 22mpg. Normally I would say a Chevy Suburban doing 22mpg is impossible... but the numbers work.
Am I out to lunch? Would the same physics apply to my coach?

When pulling my camper behind my suburban, if I use cruise control, I'll be lucky to average 8 mpg.
If traffic is light & I can vary my speed from 5 over (down the hills) to 10 under (up the hills), then I have averaged over 11 mpg. But, it requires a lot of effort to maintain the optimum pace.
I had a '93 suburban that averaged 10 @ 55 to 65 mph, but averaged 13.5 @ 85 mph. Weirdest thing I ever saw. Everyone who drove it long enough had the same results.
I haven't driven my bus much, but the few tanks I have run thru, I got much, much closer to 10 than 5 mpg.
(I didn't get in too big a hurry with the old tires under the back. . . . )
The ole GM's don't have square corners, so that's got to make some difference.
Maybe that ebay bus has a bunch of air tabs on it . . . .

Paul, there are many ways to prove it, but it is not necessary because it simply is not true. Surly with your knowledge and experience you know that and this is an exercise of fun only. With that being said, I am willing to volunteer my vacation, and at the owners expense, take his bus on my next road trip leaving little Wheezy Bus sitting. I will cornstarch my feet, and powder my underwear with Gold Bond Medicated Baby Powder (because I don't want to get itchy down there on those long missions to rewrite the laws of physics) and head west on another cross country trip. Thus setting to rest, once and for all, these braggadocious 40' bus owner's mpg claims.

A hired bus driver will have different motivation than a retired owner/ operator.
I'd imagine a hired driver wouldn't place fuel economy as their top priority when they had a schedule to keep & early arrivals = happy passangers & late arrivals = a bad day at the office.

Yes it is totally possible to get above 10 mpg on a tank, but to claim that that is what that bus averages just is not so. He probably decided that the tanks that got 6 mpg should not be averaged in for some reason.
You don't have to believe everything you think.
