Still everybody gotta build for that, me? I make mills off that
from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Dr. Dre) – The Recipe Lyrics on Genius
Whereas others have to work and slowly build to attain the three W's, Dre capitalizes on them and makes millions. Or more recently billions, from the sale of his BEATS by Dre to Apple.
Dr. Dre came up as an artist talking about weed and women, evident with his debut album The Chronic which is a type of weed.

I have about 40 varieties of tomatoes.
I have sown 1 to 6 seeds of each variety… (I already have one 'customer' who gets all her tomato-plants from my sowings, so for some favourite varieties I started with more seeds)
About every single seed germinated, and I didn't loose a single seedling during pricking and potting up this year.
So I ended up with about 160 plants, and room for 40, maybe 42.
But we are in the local 'Lets'group (Local Exchange Trading System), so I've sent out a mail to the other members, offering my excess of plants…
I got several reactions, and today the first batch left my greenhouse…
Annelies got 2 Black Brandy, 2 Black Cherry, 4 Brandywine, 3 Roma, 2 Sweet Baby, 1 Pink Brandy and 1 Erdie's Family Oxheart…
She took also one winter squash Uchiki Kuri, and 1 zucchini Striato d'Italia.

Medical clinic faces desperate money situation
Published: Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 6, 2009 at 4:56 p.m.
The news that a nonprofit agency is struggling during the recession is becoming all too familiar. Davidson Medical Ministries Clinic is no exception, and the agency that provides medical care and prescriptions for the uninsured is facing cuts in services and staff if more money can't be found. The clinic serves as a lifeline for many people in desperate need of medical care.
All nonprofits provide vital services, but health care is so critical to a person's well-being. Davidson Medical Ministries Clinic has served thousands of county residents during its almost 20 years in existence. Money is tight for individuals, foundations and governments, but anyone who can contribute to the clinic is encouraged to do so. Lots of small donations can add up and enable the clinic to maintain its level of services and staffing.
The Lexington City Board of Education delayed a decision on a uniform policy after several revisions were made to a draft version. The changes are expanding the options for students to wear, among other things, although it will still require solid colors and collars and sleeves on shirts. The fact the board has listened to concerns and tried to modify the policy is a good step. Some remained opposed, however, so the school system still has some work to do explaining why the policy is a good change.
Here's a suggestion for the Davidson County Board of Education: Name the new school in southern Davidson County High Rock Elementary. The other finalist is Southmont Elementary. While the school will be on N.C. Highway 8 at Owen Road in Southmont, the system already has Southwood. Lexington has Southwest and South Lexington. Isn't that enough schools that start with south?
Cooperation among law enforcement agencies once again led to arrests in a string of robberies in Lexington, Thomasville and Davidson County. Two men have been charged in five separate robberies over a period of three days. Quick response by Lexington officers Wednesday led to the capture of one suspect, and sheriff's deputies found the other one. The arrests will allow convenience store employees to breathe a little easier.
Many people groan at the mention of taxes, but the residents participating in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program are willingly helping others fill out their forms. VITA assisted more than 2,000 county residents a year ago and will probably top that number this year. The tax preparation services are crucial for those on limited incomes and keeps more money in their pockets thanks to the free service and dedication to finding as many savings as possible.
What a wacky week for the weather. First, last weekend brought much-needed rain. Then when temperatures fell the first significant snowfall in several years occurred, causing students to miss two days of class. Lows fell into the low teens. But by Friday temperatures reached 70 degrees with a spring-like weekend forecast. So the old adage is true: If you don't like the weather, wait a couple of days, and it will change.

Woodburyboys basketball: Royals stun No. 6 Cretin-Derham Hall
It's not often that Scott Swansson treats a win like a loss.
Yet the Woodbury basketball coach said that's exactly what he did after his Royals fended off a second-half surge from Forest Lake — a conference bottom dweller — to escape with a 79-74 win.
"I told them (after the game) that we'll probably win one section game playing like that," the coach said.
The players apparently got the message.

Jade Art Group Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Jade Art Group Inc, (OTCBB:JADA)("Jade Art" or the "Company"), a seller and distributor of raw jade in China, announced today its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.
2010 Second Quarter Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $2.8 million represents a 42% increase over revenue of $2.0 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009.
- Gross profit was $1.9 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.
- Net income in the second quarter of 2010 was $1.1 million, an increase of nearly 200% compared to net income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2009.
- Basic and fully diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2010 were up $0.01 from $0.00 in the second quarter of 2009.
Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results
Jade Art Group's second quarter 2010 revenue was $2.8 million, representing a 42% increase over the $2.0 million of revenue recorded in the comparable period in 2009. This increase in revenue resulted from larger orders for raw jade, as the Company's customers were responding to the better economic environment as compared to a year ago. The revenue reflects a 38% increase in the tons of jade shipped, and a 2.9% increase in the average price per ton. The improvement in the economy is having a positive impact on the commercial and residential construction markets and on the jewelry market into which the Company sells raw jade.
Gross profit for the second quarter was $1.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year, an increase of 70%, reflective of the increase in revenue. The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 67%, up from 56% for the same period last year, due to the benefit of the fixed cost amortization of the Company's Exclusive Distribution Right Agreement being spread over a higher level of revenue.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Butterfly Scales & Beard Hair: Antique Slides Reveal Obsession with Science
A miniature photograph of the moon, beard hairs whose owner has been dead for centuries, a shaving of Egyptian mummy bone, flowerlike patterns constructed from butterfly scales and algae called diatoms, and engravings of biblical text.
During a good part of the 19th century, called the Victorian times, a peek through a microscope could reveal very different sights than ones we'd expect to see today. In the mid- to late-1800s, microscopes were not only instruments of scientific discovery, but they were tools for popular entertainment, particularly in Britain. And an industry of inventive slide makers sprung up to feed the public appetite for this new way of seeing.
About 150 years later, it's still possible to see some of these strange and beautiful sights, and to learn about the mounters who assembled them, thanks to antique slide collectors who delve into the lives of those who made these microscopic pieces of art.

My baby has a really dry scalp really bad dandruff cradle cap. I have a bad habit of picking at things acne scabs anything. Grose I know . I want to pick off the krusty stuff off his head so bad. Is that not ok to do. I forgot to ask at his last appt. So far ll I know to help it is use baby oil after he bathes and use a soft baby brush. Will it bleed if I pick it? Will it hurt him? Help :(
im so annoyed of babys cradle cap
Posted 07/09/2013
Put baby oil on it 15 minutes before you give a bath. Rinse it thoroughly with water then shampoo it and rub gently with face cloth. After you rinse out shampoo with water, use a comb to get out flakes. Picking can cause infection
Posted 07/09/2013
I switched baby shampoos and used the brush from the hospital, and started bathing every other day and it finally went away. I wouldn't pick, because your nails have bacteria under them and if u break baby's skin you could cause an infection.
Posted 07/09/2013
Try not to pick. I bought a cradle cap brush from amazon.com and I use head and shoulders shampoo. I will brush/massage her scalp with the brush before and after her bath. I also put baby lotion on her head after bath. Works great! GL!
Posted 07/09/2013
I use a soft toothbrush, and for the tough ones I kind of turn it sideways so the bristles catch the flake. It worked really well, no bleeding or irritation. I should point out I did this after I soaked his scalp in oil, then had a bath.
Posted 07/09/2013
I've been using olive oil, shampoo, brushing and it's not really working so I might buy the cradle cap shampoo they sell at the store in the baby section. It's pricey but the cradle cap is so ugly and I want it gone!

Those that used head and shoulders, did you ask ped first? I'd be scared of it being too harsh for LO.
Posted 07/09/2013
We had DDs 2mos appointment today and I asked about it. Her's isn't very bad and it seems to be clearing up a bit but her ped said that we could use Head and Shoulders or Selsun Blue once a week.

I've been addicted to picking as well. It has become a big issue with DH so much that we fight about it three or four times a day. He simply doesn't get why I can't keep my fingers off his head but I am addicted to the point that I'll fight him to do it despite knowing I could cause infection or temporary hair loss. Tried cutting my nails short every other day and wearing mittens but no progress. :'( the condition seems to be getting a little better though, so hopefully I'll have nothing to pick soon enough. I do oil his hair twice a day and brush off the flakes, but irrespective of what you do it takes its own sweet time to resolve.
What's on your mind?

60,000 large rainbow trout stocked on westside, part of WDFW's "Fall into Fishing"
WDFW's "Fall into Fishing" promotion is a response to anglers' requests to increase fall and winter trout fishing opportunities in Western Washington.
"Twenty-four Puget Sound lakes have already been stocked, with more to follow this month," said Donley. "Then, at the end of this month, Southwest Washington anglers get in on the action with our second-annual 'Black Friday' promotion, the culmination of our Fall into Fishing program."
Donley said that in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, the department will stock more lakes for Black Friday, including six in Southwest Washington and one each in Jefferson and Mason counties in the Puget Sound region.
"Our Black Friday event offers great opportunities for anyone – including beginners or anglers returning to the sport – to wet a line to catch a stringer of big, hard-fighting trout," said Donley.
To participate in Fall into Fishing or the Black Friday event in Southwestern Washington, anglers must have a current Washington freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2014. Licenses can be purchased online at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov; by telephone at 1-866-246-9453; or at hundreds of license vendors across the state.
For details on license vendor locations, visit the WDFW website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/vendors/.
Anglers parking at WDFW water-access sites are required to display on their vehicle the WDFW Vehicle Access Pass that is provided free with every annual fishing license purchased. The passes are transferable between two vehicles. Anglers who use Washington State Parks or Department of Natural Resource areas need a Discover Pass. For more information on the pass, visithttp://discoverpass.wa.gov/.
Before heading out, anglers should check fishing regulations, which are available at license vendors and on WDFW's webpage athttp://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/.

When we think of organic products, we tend focus on food. But there is as much to be considered when it comes to what we put ON our bodies as what we put IN them. Making the switch to organic cotton products is another way you can eliminate harmful chemicals from your home and health.
Organic cotton is grown by the same standards as other organic crops, including sustainable farming methods, without use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and no genetically modified seeds. This isn't just about keeping your family healthy, it's about keeping the planet healthy as well.
Even though cotton farming utilizes only 3% of the world's agricultural land, it is accountable for over 25% of the insecticide use and 10% of the pesticide use world-wide. When you look at those numbers, you see how important it is to encourage the use of organic cotton in as many cotton-based products as possible. We can't keep dumping chemicals into the Earth at this rate, it's just not sustainable.
The availability of organic cotton is increasing, from feminine products to cotton swabs to clothing, more and more consumers are demanding a better, healthier option. You can do more to help. Making little changes, like choosing organic cotton rounds to remove your make up and stocking up on organic cotton handkerchiefs for cold and flu season (trust me, your kids' raw little noses will thank you for this one), and switching to organic cotton reusable menstrual pads, are simple ways you can let companies know you want these organic cotton products, and more!
Every time we chose the organic product, we help create demand. And demand, in the end, is what drives a market. So make your mark by doing something good for you, your family, and the planet, and buy organic cotton whenever you can. You have a lot of power in that pocketbook. Make your wants be known!

Organized Leftover Containers
by Monica Resinger
It was time to organize my leftover containers that are kept in a kitchen cupboard on a slide out shelf. I didn't realize how long it had been since the last time I did this until I got to the bottom of the shelf and found things I'm ashamed to tell. I will tell you that there were containers I had forgotten I had because they were buried so deep.
How could this be useful? Really, the only use it had was to barely store my leftover containers; "barely" meaning each time I'd open the door, something would fall out. I had to ask myself, "Why would I need 250 containers?" I'm just joking. It wasn't that much, but it was too much. Here's how I got this cupboard in shape in four easy steps:
- I took everything out of the cupboard. This is a cupboard close to the floor so I sat on the floor and took them out and set them around me on the (clean) floor. When the shelf was cleared out, I vacuumed it and wiped it off.
- From the lids and containers on the floor, anything I didn't use or want anymore either went into the trash or into a bag to be donated to the Goodwill depending on if it was still useful or not.
- With what was left, I matched containers with lids. Each container I found that still had a lid (don't ask me where the others went!), I'd set back into the cupboard and each lid went into a square plastic organizer to hold them; this way the lids would still be in with the containers, but not all scattered around. I stacked the containers according to their size and shape.
- I threw away the remaining disposable lids and containers (yogurt, sour cream, margarine, etc.) that didn't have a match and donated any good, no match lids or containers to Goodwill; I'm sure they'll find a match for them.
Complete in four easy steps! Now when I open that cupboard, the containers don't come falling out and I can easily find the container I need. It is a great feeling to have them organized (for a change).

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The Small Business Administration has a problem with its Historically Underutilized Business Zones designation. According to a new GAO report, SBA has no way to inform businesses when they might no longer qualify as a HUBZone. Or when the zone they operate in might not longer be considered a HUBZone.

Tim Sullivan, Partner, Thompson Coburn LLP
Government contracting can be a very useful tool for enhancing social and economic changes that Congress deems worthy. Contracting veteran Tim Sullivan has authored the blog, "10 Myths of Government Contracting." Sullivan has been exploring these myths on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin. Today Sullivan tackles the penultimate myth - number 9: Only the big guys succeed. That myth seems easy to debunk given the amount of small business contracting the federal government does ... but not everyone reads past the headline of the big awards.

The client wanted a quiet room at the end of the house for reading and solitude, or to drink port and smoke cigars with guests, says architect Stephen Vanze. "We wanted to create a space that would be comfortable for a small group of people, but wouldn't be overwhelming for one." The library he designed suits both social and solitary pursuits.
Vanze enjoyed the chance to "wallpaper a room with books," creating interest with varying shelf heights and depths. But he allowed the books to dominate by keeping trim details simple. White plaster veneer walls lighten the Brazilian cherry shelving and trim. A mezzanine doubles the amount of bookshelves while human-sizing the scale of the 25-foot cathedral ceiling. A curved stair that leads to the mezzanine level also descends to a basement home theater. Window seats abound thanks to the depth created by the shelves.
The large fireplace can cheer the entire room or heat up an inglenook built for two. A discreet built-in bar and a drop-down TV offer more social opportunities. Since no library would be complete without a secret doorway, one of the upper sets of bookshelves swings open to reveal a bedroom closet passage.
When the natural light from the tall windows and French doors fades, sconces and ceiling spots illuminate the tomes. A false book jacket disguises the lighting control panel.

More On Tax Planning
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Selected Provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 The experts of Tax Facts have produced this comprehensive analysis of selected provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the Act) to provide the most up-to-date information to our subscribers. This supplement analyzes important changes to the tax code with emphasis on how these developments impact Tax Facts' major areas of focus: Employee Benefits, Insurance, and Investments.

The IRS is preparing to issue three regulations to address concerns created by its issuance of regulations last October surrounding reporting the cost basis of stocks (TD 9504).
In June, the IRS issued Notice 2011-56, which offers a favorable resolution to the issues, according to a commentary by Stevie D. Conlon, senior director & tax counsel, risk & compliance, securities tax solutions, for Wolters Kluwer Financial Services
The first matter concerned the ability of a customer to opt out of a broker's default method of lot relief for determining cost basis on the sale of average basis eligible mutual fund and dividend reinvestment plan shares.
The final regulations had not provided for the customer to be able to undo the calculation of average basis of shares held and acquired prior to the opt-out, even if the customer had not sold any shares before opting out. However, the final regulations had included a way for customers to opt out of averaging if they had elected averaging and no shares had been sold.
It is now expected that customers will be able to opt out of averaging if it was the broker default choice, under appropriate conditions.
The second rule would clarify treatment of cash instead of fractional shares issued in dividend reinvestment plans. If a customer receives cash instead of fractional shares and that cash is not sufficient to reinvest 10% as is required for a dividend reinvestment plan, the plan would not be disqualified as a CDRP on that basis. The previous regulation had not been specific on that point.
The third would clarify that lot relief methods are applied on an account-by-account basis, since limitations imposed by both technology and systems and the lack of knowledge by a broker about a customer's other holdings would make it impossible to apply otherwise.

Milan Fashion Week's only just begun, but the drama, color, and sparkle of the runways has already morphed into a strongly patterned blur. The Cut's photographer Lorenzo Masi was backstage and among the audience at Fendi, Gucci, and Alberta Ferretti, to offer a different perspective (and pulled-back pace) to the unending frenzy. So take a moment to breathe before appreciating some of the quieter moments you might have missed — from the lovely sheer backs backstage at Alberta Ferretti to the warm orbs of light at Costume National. Even Karl's white ponytail stood still for a moment.

if they wanna make the playoffs i see the eight seed as 40-42 which would mean the c's hafta go 13-3 the rest of the way, lookin at the sched it conceivably could happen, but the it prob wont the last two nights have really killed them, they shoulda won both if they had, then they couldve gone 11-5 the rest of the way and prob made it, now that is a def possible record given the way they were playin and the sched the rest of the way
Watched later parts of both games did not see much leadership and seemed to be missing the fire I saw previously...
Their playoff hopes died when they botched an easy win against Milwaukee. Better off in the lottery, anyways.
They won't be "low" enough in the lottery to make a big difference... and indeed they've gotten lucky with some of their other non-lottery picks - hopefully they will again What they need more than a lottery pick is to teach all these young guys how to play together and actually WIN! Seems like they are learning! I woud have been content to see them completely tank this season but I'm rooting for them now.

Nordhavn is a trade name of a line of ocean-going trawler styled motor vessel designed and produced by Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. of Dana Point, California. The vessels, ranging from 40 to 120 feet (37 m) in length, are renowned for their structural strength and ability to cross oceans. They all have a raised forward pilothouse which is separate from the main salon and galley, or an aft deckhouse with the pilothouse raised on a second level above the salon. They also generally have full headroom in the engine room, and a single main engine with a "wing" 'get home' engine with separate prop shaft and a folding propeller. Nordhavn vessels are often purchased by liveaboards and a proportion of owners live aboard their vessel; often selling their homes to purchase a Nordhavn. Some models optionally have twin engines.
One 40-foot (12 m) 'stock' Nordhavn made history as the smallest production powered vessel [3] to circumnavigate the world, from November 3, 2001 - June 30, 2002. It covered more than 24,000 miles (39,000 km) over some 170 days at sea, starting and ending its circumnavigation at Dana Point, California.[4]
Nordhavn is a brand of motor vessel from Pacific Asian Enterprises, Inc. (PAE), based in Dana Point, California, USA. The company designs, builds and markets offshore passagemaking vessels ranging from 40 to 120 feet (12 to 37 m) in length. These motor vessels] travel at slow speeds - typically 7 to 10 knots (13 to 19 km/h) - but can cover thousands of miles on a single load of diesel fuel, and many have made long ocean passages. Most Nordhavn boats use a "dry stack" for exhaust (approximately vertical pipe from the engine) and a "keel cooler" (pipes under the hull) to take away excess engine heat. Most other vessels use a "wet exhaust," which draws in seawater to cool engine coolant in a heat exchanger. The "dry stack," which is used by most commercial boats, was chosen as it can be less troublesome.
The vessels are constructed under the supervision of PAE project managers by boatbulding companies in Taiwan (Ta Shing Yachts) and China (South Coast) with whom PAE has a long history. Most Nordhavns are sold and commissioned in the United States, but the company has a sales office and service facility in England, has a sales office in Australia, and Nordhavns are routinely delivered and commissioned in Europe, Asia, Australia and elsewhere.
Pacific Asian Enterprises, a California corporation, was incorporated in 1978. Dan Streech and Jim Leishman, the president and vice president respectively, were two of the company's three founding partners; Joe Meglen, the third founding partner, left the company in 2004. Originally, Pacific Asian Enterprises contracted to have vessels, including CT-41 and TransPac 49 sailing yachts, built in Taiwan and imported them into the USA. In its early years, the company's most successful product was its line of sailing yachts designed by naval architect Al Mason, starting with the Mason 43. In 1978, Jim Leishman's brother Jeff, still in high school, began working part-time for the company. Jeff went on to obtain a degree in naval architecture and become PAE's chief designer. Like his brother Jim and Dan Streech, he now holds an ownership stake in the company.
With the sailing yacht market in serious decline, in 1988 PAE built its first trawler—the Nordhavn 46 conceived by Jim Leishman and designed by his brother Jeff. The new Nordhavn oceangoing powerboat concept turned out to be a seminal event for the company. Though no longer in production, the popular 46 played a pivotal role in creating a new market for passagemaking vessels capable of going anywhere in the world and was a cornerstone in establishing the Nordhavn brand as one of the world's pre-eminent ocean-cruising motor vessels. As of the end of 2009, more than 500 Nordhavns had been built. (In late 2009, Nordhavn 46 hull number one, was cruising in the Mediterranean with its new owners, Patrick and Chris Mouligne on board.)
For several years in the 1990s PAE's standard offerings were its Nordhavn 46, 50, 57 and 62, vessels which proved immensely popular. However, in 1999 the company built the first in a new series of Jeff Leishman-designed vessels identifiable by their sturdy, boxy, almost commercial look: the Nordhan 40, 43, 47, and 55. These vessels are high on the water and carry their beam far forward, reducing efficiency and trading good looks for greater interior capacity, meaning more room for fuel and for the stuff that really sells boats: lush, comfortable interiors. Nordhavn has gained a reputation for rock-solid systems integrity—systems that are well engineered and keep on working.
PAE made one foray away from its oceangoing trawler heritage beginning in 2000: the Nordhavn 35, billed as a fast coastal cruiser. Problem was, the early 35s—designed as 15-knot vessels—were so heavy they couldn't meet the company's speed goals. Later hulls in the series include a tunnel over the propeller, and a determined "lightening" program made later Nordhavn 35s faster than the originals, but the 35 never truly gained market traction and the company discontinued the model after 23 were built. Current Nordhavn 35 owners, however, reportedly love the boats, and the vessels command a premium price on the brokerage market.
According to company president Dan Streech, quoted in the company-published magazine Circumnavigator in October 2009, ". . .we have a great brand in Nordhavn, and as a company we work hard to make every Nordhavn vessel better than those that came before it. The company is right-sized: small enough to be quick, nimble and smart, yet large enough to bring many economies of scale to bear in the process of designing, building and delivering our vessels. While many boatbuilding companies are corporately owned and carry a lot of debt, a combination that can create a stranglehold, we're fundamentally a debt-free company. PAE is a corporation, but it's wholly owned by three career boatbuilders: Jim, Jeff and myself. We don't answer to corporate boards, bean counters, banks, or other masters—we make our own decisions. Building boats is our life's work, what we love to do. It's what we've chosen to do with our lives for the past 30 years, and it's the only business interest any of us have. Period. Our experience doing this has allowed us to develop a certain kind of wisdom and a skill set that helps us avoid the common pitfalls of the boat business. We have a very close, longstanding and mutually beneficial partnership with our two Chinese factories, and they build nothing but Nordhavns. In short, we believe we've seen it all, and we've learned a lot. It's why we've managed to remain successful, both in good economic times and bad."
To show the world that even its smallest oceangoing Nordhavn was capable of circumnavigating the globe, PAE VP Jim Leishman conceived an around-the-world trip, a west-about circumnavigation in a "stock" Nordhavn 40. With a rotating crew of PAE officers and employees and yachting journalists, the vessel, named NORDHAVN, covered more than 24,000 miles (39,000 km) over some 170 days at sea, from November 3, 2001 - June 30, 2002,[4] starting and ending its circumnavigation at Dana Point, California. It set a record for what is believed to be the fastest motor vessel circumnavigation ever.[5]
Buoyed by the success of the around the world trip, in 2003 Jim Leishman had another idea. In 2004, the company took a considerable risk by sponsoring a highly publicized trans-Atlantic event for owners, the Nordhavn Atlantic Rally. Under the rally banner, 18 vessels (and about 100 people) covered just over 4,000 miles (6,400 km) from Florida to Gibraltar, with stops in Bermuda and the Azores. Fifteen of the vessels were Nordhavns, and all except the company's Atlantic Escort were privately owned and operated. This marked the first fleet-based Atlantic crossing by a group of motor vessels, and its success further boosted the company's stature. A similar but smaller non-commercial and all-volunteer rally, Med Bound 2007, was conducted in summer 2007, with eight Nordhavns going to Bermuda and five returning to the USA, while three of the vessels, by plan, continued on to the Azores and Gibraltar.
Larger Nordhavn vessels have begun coming off Jeff Leishman's drawing board: Nordhavn 64, 68, 72, 76, 86, and then a Nordhavn 120. By 2008, the new and larger Nordhavns were responsible for an increasing share of the company's revenues. A new 75-foot (23 m) Nordhavn Expedition Yacht Fisher (EYF), essentially an extended range sportfishing vessel, is capable of taking anglers to the world's most remote fishing spots. It is styled as a sportsfisher, rather than as the traditional Nordhavn trawler, giving Norhavn now three distinct styles; trawler, motorsailer, and sportsfisher. In early 2012 the PAE announced plans for a 52-foot "coastal pilot" aimed at a different market: coastal cruisers. According to the company's announcement, "Designed as an elegant, highly capable coastal cruiser, the new 52 will offer semi-displacement cruising speed and efficiency along with the safety and capability sought after by the serious cruiser. With a cruising speed between eight and fifteen knots and a range in excess of 1,000 nautical miles, aside from major ocean crossings, this rugged new Nordhavn can fulfill the most ambitious of cruising dreams."
Nordhavn is also producing a Passagesailer. PAE says this yacht combines the best characteristics of a passagemaking trawler vessel and a motorsailer: a yacht that will perform well in either role, with transoceanic range under power alone and modest sailing performance in offshore conditions. Originally designed at 50 feet (15 m), it has been produced as a 56-footer, a displacement of over 70,000 lbs, and a 750 gallon fuel capacity. Powered by the proven Lugger 1066 T diesel engine, the boat has a top speed of over 10 knots. A 36-inch four-bladed controllable pitch Hundested propeller is used for flexibility of operation. When conditions dictate, the propeller can be fully feathered to enhance sailing performance. Under sail power alone it can cruise at up to 8 knots. Alternatively, the engine can be run at very low rpm and high propeller pitch, combined with the drive and stabilizing force of the sails, to provide comfort, economy and capability. A larger model motorsailer is also in the plans.
In an interview in Circumnavigator magazine, published for PAE in October 2009, company president Dan Streech, said "We've seen our once proud order book shrink to less than half of what it was a year ago, partly from cancellations and defaults by buyers—but mostly because we've been building, shipping, and delivering the boats faster than we have been receiving orders. When you're not selling as many new boats and not taking as many deposits, cash flow slows. We remain fundamentally debt free and intend to stay that way, but less cash coming in the door means doing more with less. PAE's three owners have taken a 33.3 per cent cut in pay, and every other PAE employee has taken a 10 per cent reduction in pay. We have asked our partner factories to help us shoulder the burden, and they're carrying their share of the load. We're also asking our vendors—those great companies who make all the equipment on every Nordhavn—to lend a hand as well with better pricing, and they have risen to the challenge. In addition, we're tightening our belts and cutting overhead where it hurts the least. Everyone recognizes that these are extraordinary times, and we also recognize that pulling together is what it takes." He went on to say, "The good news is that PAE has proven to be healthier and more resilient than any company we know of in the boat business. We know of no other boat building company we'd like to trade places with."
Streech continued in his interview: "Nobody likes to see a downturn of this magnitude, but while other builders have been pulling back, closing factories, or failing, we have been busy designing, developing, building and introducing new models. We've used the time to upgrade our work force and talent by hiring the best and the brightest from other companies. In other words, we've taken advantage of the downturn to strengthen our company's human resources and our Nordhavn brand. Another plus is that the strong survive and the weakest of the boatbuilding companies tend to go away in conditions like those we've experienced since the end of 2008, leaving more market share for PAE."
