Yesterday Spay the Strays (STS) held our third clinic of the year in Gorgona. And what an event it was! Four vets performed surgeries on 96 animals. It was a record breaker! The day started with no water in Gorgona. Not usual for the dry season there. Our local Gorgona volunteers scrambled to bring jugs of water from their home tanks to get the clinic rolling. During the busy clinic two male street dogs wandered in to check out the party. Our volunteers were happy to round them up and they too were fixed.
Special thanks to Rob Condit who dropped by with several containers of coins as a donation to STS. It will take a while to get the final count, but we're guessing it will be upwards of $200. Creative donating!
This year The International Film Festival of Panama 2015, will be held from April 9th through the 15th. While the event will coincide with the VII Summit of the Americas, with the collaboration of the national government, measures have been taken to insure both events run smoothly. Films being shown on April 10th and 11th will not be subject to any changes despite running simultaneous to the Summit of the Americas. Access to all IFF Panama's theaters has been guaranteed.
These theaters include: The National Theatre, The Anita Villaláz Theatre, Cinépolis Multiplaza, and the Mirador del Pacífico; located in Cinta Costera II
IFF Panama will host over 150 special guests hailing from all over the world, including actors, directors, producers, industry leaders, as well as over two dozen international media outlets. There will be over 150 screening of 73 films. Last year 22,000 people were in attendance.
For a full list of screenings and special events visit: http://iffpanama.org/en
The 7th Summit of the Americas will be held in Panama April 10 - 11 2015.
The Summits are a continuing series of conferences bringing together the leaders of the Americas including North America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. The international meetings typically go unnoticed by the general public. This year's summit however, has gained the world's attention. The buzz is primarily over Cuba's invitation and the likely meeting between US President Barack Obama and Raúl Castro.
Expect the city to be a mess from April 9 - 12. Plan your travels accordingly, as many streets / areas will be closed to the general public.
A number of streets near the Atlapa Convention Center, where the summit is being held, will be closed. These streets include:
Vía Israel from Calle 68 to Via Cincuentenario, which will be closed from midnight April 9 until 9 p.m. April 12.
Semana Santa will begin this Sunday (March 29th). Expect more families at the beach enjoying the week's vacation. There will be more traffic throughout the country over the week long holiday, most traveling toward the interior.
The most important dates are as follows:
April 2 Maundy Thursday (Banks are closed)
April 3 Good Friday (National holiday - usually you can not purchase alcohol on this date)
April 4 Holy Saturday (Banks are closed)
April 5 Easter Sunday (Christian Holiday)

During summer month's resorts located the region of Panama West and Cocle are packed with visitors in search of fun, sun and sand.
Sometimes, what begins as a pleasant day quickly turns into a medical emergency.
The Emergency Room of Caja de Seguro Social Juan Vega Mendez in San Carlos provides this important service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to the entire Pacific beach area (from Rio Hato to Capira).
In the CCS Emergency Room, Dr. Ovidio Almanza, chief of emergency, along with his staff, physicians, nurses, nursing technicians and others, are on alert to treat emergencies that arise in this region of the country. The medical professionals here provide quality care to insured and uninsured people, Panamanians and foreigners.
Joshua Henry, a young expat living in Coronado, did not think he would have to save someone's life when he went to the beach near Punta Barco on Carnival Monday. Being a holiday there were a lot of people on the beach and in the water.
At the early age of 23, Joshua is already a trained lifeguard and is one of the youngest full time firefighters in Canada. Saving lives comes naturally to him. So when Joshua saw someone struggling in the ocean he recognized the signs of drowning. He immediately took off running into the water towards the young swimmer being pulled down by a strong undertow. Undertows commonly occur where the river meets the ocean.
When Joshua reached the drowning man the he grabbed and clawed in a panicked frenzy, a natural reaction for a drowning person. Luckily for the man, Joshua was trained in how to deal with such a situation and was able to secure him.
Thank you all for your help in getting the word out on our Blood Drive - 30 people came and donated blood, all 30 were accepted which is very usual. We have great blood donors here in the Coronado area, lots of different blood types and the Blood team were thrilled.
Sadly, I had to call 4 people as the Blood Team only had 30 units to fill; it is always sad to turn away a volunteer. The event was very social with lots of laughter and people staying long after they needed to as they were enjoying the good company and refreshments.
Refreshments were provided by playacommunity and the Cafe Viana cookies were very well received. The ones left over were quickly devoured by the Blood team who had just spent 4 1/2 hours working steadily.
Although it's fun to change up the routine and try some new rose's (see last month's column), it's also nice to try some mid-priced reds as well. This month I'm highlighting 4 lovely red wines ranging from $18.00 to $28.00. While not exactly low end bargains, they offer excellent value for the quality. If you're lucky enough to find a good restaurant locally without an outrageous corkage fee, these would be good candidates to bring along.
2010 Morande Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, $18.00 14.5% alc. Chile
Light aromas of oak, vanilla, toast and black currant. Some notes of cassis and burnt plum with earthy, barnyard, black cherry and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied with ripe fruit flavours such as black cherry and blackberry, along with cassis, licorice and eucalyptus. Complex with good structure and mouth-watering acids. Long, warm finish. Highly Recommended
There is no question that one of Panama's greatest allures is it's wildlife. The landscape is lush, boasting rainforests, dry forests and cloud forests, each ripe with biodiversity. These unique environments are home to hundreds of species, some of which are only found in Panama. As the country develops, these habitats and the wildlife that thrives within begin to disappear.
From large mammals, like ocelots and jaguars, to tiny amphibians, each species, equally important in preserving the country's biodiversity, faces a list of obstacles. One NGO, Conservación Panamá Inc., is working with locals to conserve a variety of species. Among these species are large wild cats.
Conservación Panamá's mission is to preserve wildlife by educating and engaging local urban, suburban and rural communities on the management of natural resources.
Recently, the Boquete Jazz and Blues Festival transformed the quiet town of Boquete. The 4 days festival held in February, could have easily called itself the Boquete 'BLUES' and Jazz festival. With world class Blues musicians headlining the event, Blues and Boogie-Woogie were the mainstay that rocked the slopes of the Baru Volcano.
The festival officially kicked off with a Mardi Gras style parade through the town, led by a local trumpet band playing tunes like "When The Saints Go Marching In". Residents in colorfully decorated golf carts followed the band. Multi colored wigs, feather boas, angel wings and painted faces were a few of the details dressing a rainbow of celebrating music lovers, dancing their way through Boquete's main streets. Candies and beaded necklaces were tossed to scampering children who followed the parade to gather as much treasure as they could.
On Wednesday March 18th there will be a blood drive in Coronado in the Coronado Equestrian Club's administrative building (Casa 106). The blood drive will go from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Those interested in giving blood should make an appointment to avoid added wait time, to make an appointment call Sheila Scott at 6656-9929.
In the U.S. less than 5% of healthy adults donate blood, in Panama this percentage is even less. Due to this fact, there is a severe blood shortage. There is a need for all types of blood in Panama, specifically O-negative blood which is needed for premature babies. For those of you who do not know your blood type, attending a blood clinic is a good way to find out! Generally the age cut off for donating blood in Panama is 65, however the Dr. screening the donors can use their judgment, often accepting donations from those over 65 who are in good physical condition.
These dogs were abandoned in December by a family who lived in Coronado for nearly a year & half…these beautiful animals were pets who loved and played with their 6-year old little girl. They were neglected and literally left behind when the family moved away.
I began caring for them when I accepted the task of managing a remodel at the house. The contractor and neighbors began bringing food and giving love to these dogs as well. It was early in January when we realized Chiquita was pregnant. I was impressed by how these two dogs stuck together, always. They are best friends and are inseparable. With Chiquita expecting, it now made sense why she and Coronado were so close; Mom & Dad expecting a litter.
In recent years, the Bay of Chame has ranked as a top destination for kiteboarding, by publications including Kiteboarding magazine's travel guide. Punta Chame draws more visitors each year as the sport gains popularity worldwide. This has created the opportunity for local business in Punta Chame to grow, while new businesses open their doors.
Itzick Lalo, owner of Machete kites, has been kiteboarding in the Bay of Chame for almost two decades. Machete Kites has been growing the sport in Panama, offering lessons on the point for over 15 years. Itzick has watched both the sport, and the area develop.
Itzick explained that kiteboarding is a relatively young sport. When he started, there was little literature, and definitely no videos or tutorials. The sport has developed quickly, becoming both safer and easier. There are higher quality products available and techniques for riding and teaching have improved a lot.
The Azuero is a large peninsula located in the south of Panama. Cultivated over 10,000 years ago, it was one of the first parts of the country to be settled, before the arrival of the Spaniards. The peninsula is often referred to as the "heartland" of the country, upholding traditions of farming, culture, and celebration. It is also home to one of Panama's most secluded national Parks, Cerro Hoya.
The Azuero peninsula is divided into three provinces: Herrera, Los Santos (both of which are entirely on the peninsula) and Veraguas, which extends into the west of the peninsula. It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the south, the Pacific and Gulf of Montijo to the west, and the Gulf of Panama on the east.
Spay the Strays is happy to announce that our beloved Dr. Velez is back in action! He will be participating in STS clinics after struggling with health issues over the past several months.
Dr. Velez joined Dr. Alexis for our second clinic of the year in Las Lajas. Together these two vets spayed and neutered 54 animals! We processed 38 dogs and 16 cats.
Outside the Casa Comunal we discovered 3 kittens huddled together under a log. They were about 6 weeks old. We managed to get them out and within 30 minutes all three had homes.
Pictured here is one of our longtime volunteers, Freddi (woman in red), who left on her motorcycle with a kitten tucked into her shirt. On the right is a volunteer and one of the kittens that we found.
A very happy ending for all!
Yesterday, February 23 at approximately 10:00 a.m. Coronado residents, living on the the Coronado Golf course, realized there was a two-toed sloth hanging out in their front door planter! The 5' high ornamental bamboo plant seemed like an odd place for a sloth. So, concerned about the animal's well-being they called several people in the community for advice on what to do.
When PlayaCommunity received news about the sloth, we reached out to our friends at Conservación Panamá. While many community members offered to relocated the sloth to a more secluded environment, Ezekiel Jakub of Conservación Panamá advised otherwise. Zeke told us that unless the animal was in clear distress, the best thing to do would be to let him be. "Often animals come into areas where it is odd to see them" explained Zeke, "usually they are just passing though".
In this case it seemed likely that the sloth was a juvenile, and indeed just passing though the territory. so we passed along Zeke's advise, "so long as the sloth seems generally protected from predators, let him move on his own, when he is ready."
The pollera is the national dress of Panama, worn by Panamanian girls and women on important occasions. The Panamanian pollera is a descendant of a dress worn by Andalusia females in the XVI century. There are a few variations of the national costume, while each has a unique purpose, they can all be defined by a few simple elements.
Miss Nieves de Hoyos, director of the Museo del Pueblo Espanol, published an article, "La Pollera Panamena," in 1963. She wrote:
"[…] white with a full skirt of two or three ruffles embroidered or appliqued in floral designs. This description is, simply, the pollera."
The traditional dress is accompanied by a complicated hairstyle using gold combs resembling the ornamental pins once common in Valencia and Salamanca, Spain. Much like the evolution of this richly decorate hairpin, the pollera has evolved, becoming quintessentially Panamanian.

As the season changes to summer (dry), I like to change up my wine repertoire to include something pink. No, not that sweet, fruity, blush stuff. The 4 wines reviewed below are serious, dry and full of complex flavors. If you think you don't like rose wine, give these a try. You will be very pleasantly surprised. Served chilled, versatile enough to go with a variety of foods or served alone.
Juve y Camps Brut Rose' Pinot Noir, Cava, $20.00 12% alc. Spain
Produced from Pinot Noir grapes this sparkling wine is a pretty, deep pink, almost red color. On the nose there are both floral and berry fruit notes in perfect harmony with alluring cherry blossom and strawberry aromas and flavors. Broad on the palate with savory, spicy fruit, it will make a superb match for jamon Iberico and other charcuterie. Long bottle aging – 3 years -has brought balance, length and weight while retaining freshness and vivacity. What a wonderful bubbly! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Today (Monday Feb. 9 2015) The Home Owners of Avenida Boulevard shut down the Boulevard Road of Coronado in Protest. We spoke with several home owners this afternoon (1:30 p.m.) to find out more about the protest.
We were told by residents of the Boulevard who were in attendance at the Coronado SA meeting yesterday (Sunday Feb. 8 2015) that their protest is in an effort to prevent construction vehicles and workers from passing though the backroads that connect Gorgona to Coronado. These residents feel that developers have a responsibility to ensure their trucks pass though the main Coronado gates and that all workers have a ID card and sign in.
The 7th annual Discovering Surf Talents Levis Cup, brought over 50 young surfers from around the country, to Playa Serena in Coronado. The event, originally scheduled for the 18th & 19th of October, was proponed as there was no swell. The waves predicted for the following weekend (October 25&26) were small, ranging from 1-3ft, but learning to compete in unfavorable conditions is one of the many challenges competitive surfers face; with this in mind, the event went on.
The first day of competition began with a reminder from Technical Director, Stanford Raúl. "It is not the quantity, but the quality waves" he said. This means, judges score the best maneuvers, not the numeber of waves each surfer rides. Playacommunity was on the sidelines as young compeitiors Veronica, Marita, Maria, Andrea and Vivian took to the water. All under the age of 12, each girl raced to the water with a smile. The younger of the compeitiors were accompanyed by a parent or coach.
The Panama Christian Foundation (PCF), are a group of business people who operate from Christian principals. The core of their operation is to lead by example. It is by these principals, that the PCF has created a futbol (soccer) team that has been participating in Chame District of Panama at the official league level.
The foundation runs soccer camps 4 days a week in Coronado and Bejuco for boys and girls aged 3 - 15. "Our membership is open to all", says Francisco Oñate the sports coordinator and managing director of PCF. "We have different levels of culture, social economic levels and people from all walks of life coming together to play."
World famous author and Coronado Resident, Greta Sherman, will promoting her new book "The Humpty Dumptys", Tuesday February 10th at La Teca. The book signing will begin at 6:00 p.m. and go until 8:30 p.m. A Tapas dinner with salad and dessert will be offered for $12.00. Regular signature entree dishes will also be available.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet the author and purchase a personalized English edition of the book for $10. The retail price is $16.99. The book has received good reviews on Amazon—75 five star reviews and two four star reviews, with comments including: "I couldn't put it down and read until the wee hours of the morning."
"Defy written." "You learn to love and hate the characters—they are so real I felt as though I knew them personally." and "The author takes the reader on a journey so descriptive that it feels as if one is a part of the experience."
Carnival, or "Los Carnavales" as described by most Panamanians, has been celebrated nation wide since the early 1900's. Each year for the four days leading up to Ash Wednesday, the country shuts down to party; enjoying parades, live music and fireworks.
Among the highlights of carnival is the crowning of a new queen. Typically the town is split into an upper and lower section (calle arriba y calle abaho), crowning their own rival queen.
Each section boasts being better than the other, having a better party and the more the beautiful queen. During carnival, the competitive emotions of the towns run high. Being crowned queen is a tremendous honor, not only for the young woman being crowned but also for her family.
Elssy Vasquez Barrera, from the small town of Parita in the province of Herrera, was a carnival queen in 1981. Today she lives in Coronado, and continues to participate in Carnival annually as part of the Parita Carnival organizing committee.
Elssy spoke with us about some of the responsibilities of being queen. "The queen is the ambassador of the town for the year. She has to organize activities, be present at important events and raise funds for the following year's carnival."
Last Sunday, the Bejuco sub 20 'futbol' team (sponsored by PCF) earned their spot in the District Championship Final game, beating Espave 1-0 in the district semi-final game.
The two teams battled to a frustrating tie at the half. The battle continued for much of the game when Bejuco finally scored about midway through the second half. Espave mounted several challenges but the goaltender, Mario, was able to block every attempt to even the score.
The Championship game will be Sunday in Bejuco La Paz field. Win or lose, both teams will advance to the 'Provincial Tournament' played in 'La Muquita' stadium in La Chorrera. Check our facebook for time and more details. www.facebook.com/fcpcf
PCF needs community support to continue this work. You can help at: www.pcfpanama.org
El Hato Del Volcán, better known simply as Volcán, is a small mountain town located in the Chiriquí province of Panama. Nestled in the foothills of Panama's tallest peak Volcan Baru (3,475m), this dormant Volcano was first inhabited by indigenous tribes thousands of years ago. Volcán and the surrounding communities, including the agricultural capital of Panama Cerro Punta, are still home to many indigenous people belonging primarily to the Ngäbe or Guaymí commarca.
Over the last century, groups of Swiss immigrants have settled throughout the highlands leaving their mark on the area's architecture. Today the town is praised as one of Panama's top retirement destinations boasting coffee farms and national parks.
As you begin to climb in altitude passing through the small village of Cuesta de Piedra, the breeze gets a bit cooler, the air misty, and you can almost begin to taste the coffee. Driving through the clouds, past tall pines growing up towards the volcano's peek, the sleepy town looms. Despite its appearance, Volcán is actually quite an active town. Almost 80% of Panama's milk, meat and vegetables pass though here. The town is a highland hub for locals, expats and tourists alike with amenities like banks, grocery stores, restaurants and hotels.

The aim of the game: Write a deceptively simple question or problem.
The catch: A solution, or a link to further information, must be provided for the desperately curious.
What is 1? What is 2? What is 3? Define the natural numbers. Demonstrate that 2 + 2 = 4 using your definition.
Mathematicians have struggled to define numbers in a useful, consistent manner for a long time. One such system is Peano axioms.

St. Gregory of Sinai.
"Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth." Psalm 105:3-5

Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson and quarterback Matthew Stafford momentarily switch roles during training camp on Aug. 17.
- Filed Under
Matthew Stafford threw lightly with receivers during Detroit Lions practice this morning, the most extensive work he's done in front of reporters since spraining his right shoulder in a season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears.
Stafford wore his helmet and a red No. 9 jersey, but Shaun Hill, who's expected to make his fifth straight Sunday against the New York Giants, got all the behind-center work in offensive position drills.
Receiver Calvin Johnson also appeared to move his injured right shoulder better. ...

Easy to handle and comfortable boat for a couple
Given that this was our first taste of the Broads and we were looking for a relatively cheap 2-person boat, this ticked the right boxes and didn't disappoint.
The boat providers supply excellent advice and guidance.
This was our first time on the broads, I would make others aware especially with dogs, there tends not to be a huge amount of space for mooring after lunchtime with a hard stand, which of course you need when having dogs.
The boat itself was a little tatty, although we could not fault the facilities on board.
I love the fact that washing up essentials were provided. Alps everything you need to wipe down the boat in the morning and get back on the open water. A lovely way to enjoy a holiday, I've caravaned for years, this was like the 'gold class' of caravans.
Top tip - get the boat pumped out after a few days as the noise of water storage can be disturbing.
Arrive early, take wellies.
Think about mooring up at pub locations, early in the day to avoid disappointment. As moorings get very busy at night times.
A brilliant long weekend
This boat can be difficult for the older generation to use. We are in our sixties and it was not easy to get on and off and the step from the lounge area to the galley area was quite steep and awkward otherwise perfect size for two people

"This card was absolutely perfect for notifying friends and family of our first home purchase. I loved being able to type a message on the back. The cards came a couple of days prior to when I was quoted, which was wonderful!"
"Tiny Prints made this so quick and easy. I have already had people ask or compliment me on the card choice. Great cards!"
"I am discerning shopper and a self admitted perfectionist! Well with that being said- I had absolutely nothing but positive remarks regarding Tiny Prints. The cards were even better quality then I had expected for the cost. The printing was perfect, the paper were a thicker quality.. I heard comments like "it was so classy".. We will be return shoppers for sure! In fact, I just ordered Invites from Tiny Prints sister website- Wedding Paper Divas."
"I am so happy I ordered this card!! It was of such high quality, so creative and beautiful! I had so many lovely comments from people who received it. The customer service was exceptional and I was updated with every aspect of this card from creating it to delivery. The only thing I would have changed is my envelope selection. I chose a envelope with a luster finish and it was difficult to write on. Next time I would choose a matte finish envelope. I can't wait to order again!! Great company and products!!"
"I haved moved several times and it is actually hard to find nice-looking change of address cards. I wanted something a little different from the Drugstore kind and did not want to pay for custom stationary, I found these and there were perfect. I am toally happy with the designs that were offered and pricing was reasonable. I would definitely order from here again."

Brownback Urges Kansans To Take Extra Precautions During Winter Storm
Governor Sam Brownback wants Kansans to take extra precautions during this winter storm.
He's asking Kansans to stay off the roads and avoid travel if at all possible.
"If you do have to...be prepared," Brownback says. "If you can help us out by not being on the road...don't be on the road."
Kansas Secretary of Transportation Mike King says the high winds expected with this storm will make clearing the roads especially difficult.
"We can clear a road relatively quickly and then, with the strong winds coming, it can get drifted shut in just a matter of hours," King says.
Kansas Adjutant General Lee Tafanelli says the National Guard will have crews available to transport needed workers to facilities like hospitals.

TWO hummingbirds!
I was so stoked to see not one, but TWO out here, I just had to tell someone...
I always get the 'single female' every year, but here lately there's another h.bird. Single female chases the other about, so I've put up another feeder. I believe it's another female.
Now if I can find the rain frogs... they've all gone since Katrina. And there's not many house geckos or chameleons (Carolina anoles) either, although I've been seeing a few baby chameleons.
It's funny, too... my friends on the Dog River in Mobile say the rain frogs are driving them nuts. I tell 'em to trap 'em and send my way...
sea ya
Tami, congratulations! We have a few, but not so many that I have to refill the feeders more than twice a week. They seem to use the flowers a lot more than the feeders.
Are rain frogs the same as tree frogs? I haven't seen any this year, but I hear 'em outside my office windows.
Hey Tami,
The rain frogs are abundant over here and lots of lizards and their babies hatching frequently. Lots of other weird bugs have started showing face but nature is so cool I hate to complain. The hummers are starting to feed like it's late August maybe cause it sure feels that way. My favorite black snake has even come home. It took almost a year but things are kinda getting back to the way they used to be. It really didn't happen until we filled up with plants and it started raining then nature just fell in to place. Just have faith it's gona get better.
Take care,

We stayed in July when it was very hot. The air conditioning system in this hotel is very noisy (like a building site!) I found it extremely difficult to sleep as it was so hot we had to have the air con on. The noise was not constant it would hum then rattle then every five minutes there would be a much louder noise for about 10 seconds that vibrated the room. Breakfast was satisfactory. They stopped refilling the hot dishes about 30mins before the end of the breakfast time so we missed out on some things. Wireless was good, location not so great, it is quite far from the centre of town.

An off-highway truck body comprising a plurality of tube-style support members, wherein each tube-style support member comprises one or two pieces of square tubing, wherein the truck body comprises two sidewalls, a floor, a front wall and a canopy, and wherein one side of each tube-style support member is welded to the outside of the sidewall, floor, front wall or canopy. The pieces of square tubing are preferably comprised of steel. The present invention optionally comprises a forward wedged front wall and a side-sloped canopy. The present invention also encompasses a tube-style tailgate and an alternate embodiment in which I-beams are used in lieu of square tubing.
1. A tailgate comprising a rear panel and two side panels,
wherein the rear and side panels each comprises a flat sheet of metal,
wherein each flat sheet of metal comprises an inner face and an outer face,
wherein the rear and side panels each comprises one or more support members,
wherein the support member comprises two pieces of square tubing aligned so that they are parallel to one another,
wherein each piece of square tubing comprises an inner side and an outer side,
wherein the inner side of each piece of square tubing is welded to the outer face of the flat sheet of metal that comprises the rear panel or one of the two side panels,
wherein a cover plate is welded to the outer side of two pieces of square tubing, and
wherein the square tubing is comprised of steel.
2. The tailgate of
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/214,129, filed on Aug. 29, 2005.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of off-highway truck bodies, and more particularly, to a tube-style truck body with a forward wedged front wall and side-sloped canopy.
2. Description of the Related Art
A traditionally built off-highway truck body is comprised of a plurality of bent steel ribs that form the skeletal structure or framework of the truck body, and solid steel plates overlying the ribs to form the truck box or container in which the material is held. The steel ribs are formed by bending flat sheets of steel and then welding them to the steel plates that form the truck box. These ribs are typically shaped like a �U� or a �V� with the open side of the �U� or �V� facing inward (attached to the steel plates).
The problem with bent steel ribs is that because they are open on one side, they do not tend to withstand the bending and twisting that accompanies the stress that is placed on the truck body during normal operations. One way to compensate for this stress is to increase the thickness of the steel used to form the bent ribs, which in turn increases the overall weight of the truck body. In addition, bent ribs are labor-intensive, which adds to the time required to manufacture the truck body. Because each rib is individually formed, there tends to be inconsistency in shape from one bent rib to another. It is also more difficult to achieve a solid weld with the bent ribs because of the inconsistency in the weld land.
Furthermore, due to current size restrictions in the press brakes that are used to form the bent ribs, long structural pieces such as the floor ribs cannot be made from one piece of bent steel but rather are formed by more than one bent rib welded end-to-end. The joining of the ribs end-to-end for the longer structural pieces further diminishes the structural integrity of the truck body and requires added manufacturing.
Another problem addressed by the present invention is the problem of material accumulation in the front corners of the truck body, where the front wall meets the floor and sidewalls. In traditional truck bodies, there is a ninety (90)-degree angle between the line formed by the joinder of the sidewall and the floor and the line formed by the joinder of the floor and front wall (this is illustrated in
The present invention also addresses the problem of material retention on the canopy. With a traditional flat canopy, material tends to slough onto the canopy during loading. The retention of material on top of the canopy distorts the weight distribution of the vehicle by placing additional weight on the front axle. Flat canopies also cause side spill, as material falls from the canopy during travel. This occurrence leads to tire abuse and increased maintenance required on roads.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,520,590 (Feuereisen Azocar, 2003) attempts to alleviate some of the problems discussed above by providing a truck body with a front wall and floor that are elliptical in shape. This design reduces the number of beams (or bent ribs) that are required to support the truck box, thereby the overall weight of the truck body. Thus, the payload can be increased without exceeding the maximum gross weight allowed. According to the inventors, this design is less expensive to manufacture than the traditional truck body because fewer beams are required. The curved shape of the truck body avoids the concentration of strains that would otherwise damage the truck body, and it increases the discharge speeds of materials due to the non-existence of encounters with angles. Although attempting to address many of the same problems inherent in traditional truck bodies, the '590 patent does so in a manner very different than the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,565,1476 and (Fujan et al., 2003) U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2002/0180241 (Fujan) provide another off-highway truck body with a curved floor, curved front wall, curved sidewalls and curved cab protector (or canopy). According to the inventors, the steel ribs that are used to buttress the flat steel plates that form the truck body are costly and labor-intensive to fabricate and weld in place, the resulting connections are subject to fatigue, and the ribs increase the weight the truck body, thereby lowering the hauling capacity of the vehicle. Rather than developing a better rib, the inventors attempted to reduce or eliminate the need for ribs by providing a truck body that is entirely curved. Unlike the present invention, the canopy is curved upward, which would tend to retain material, rather than curved or angled downward, which would cause material to fall off of the canopy.
U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2004/0026959 (Kostecki) attempts to alleviate the problem associated with material build-up in the front corners of the truck body by providing removable wear plates that are installed between one or more of the front wall, side walls and floor.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,208,790 (Domes, 1965) attempts to solve the problems associated with using traditional U-shaped members (or bent ribs) to form the top rails of truck bodies. This invention provides a semi-circular top rail that curves down and over the outside of the sidewall and then is welded to the sidewall. One of the goals of this invention was to provide a curved surface that would resist any downward load applied to the top rail. Other goals were to decrease the number of parts required to build the top rail and to prevent the loader or shovel from inadvertently engaging the top rail during loading operations.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,481,785 (Coleman et al., 2002) describes a truck body design in which the junction between the floor and the upright panel (or front wall) is arcuate to facilitate the flow of materials being delivered into the dump body during the loading of the body (in other words, to direct the materials toward the floor).
U.S. Pat. No. 6,592,171 (Hinds, 2003) describes a way of bolstering the welded connection between the longitudinal and lateral ribs of a traditionally built truck body. In this invention, the ribs have a substantially U-shaped cross-section (as described above), which is particularly susceptible to the stresses associated with loading and unloading. Over time, these stresses can weaken the welds between the longitudinal and lateral ribs, causing those joints to crack. The invention covered by the '171 patent is a particular type of weld joint that is intended to strengthen the connection between the longitudinal and lateral ribs.
The present invention is an off-highway truck body comprising a plurality of tube-style support members, wherein each tube-style support member comprises one or two pieces of square tubing, wherein the truck body comprises two sidewalls, a floor, a front wall and a canopy, and wherein one side of each tube-style support member is welded to the outside of the sidewall, floor, front wall or canopy. The pieces of square tubing are preferably comprised of steel. Each tube-style support member that comprises two pieces of square tubing further comprises a cover plate that extends across the top side of the two pieces of square tubing for the length of the square tubing.
The off-highway truck body of the present invention optionally comprises a forward wedged front wall, wherein the front wall is wedged forward such that the angle between the line formed by the juncture of the sidewall and floor and the line formed by the juncture of the forward wedged front wall and floor is greater than ninety (90) degrees and less than one hundred eighty (180) degrees. In an alternate embodiment, the top approximate one-third (⅓) of the front wall is tilted further forward (i.e., at a greater angle) than the rest of the front wall.
The off-highway truck body of the present invention optionally comprises a side-sloped canopy, wherein the side-sloped canopy comprises two sides that are angled downward and a center section that is flat. In an alternate embodiment, the side-sloped canopy comprises a peaked center and four sloped sides, wherein two of the sloped sides are on either side of the peaked center, wherein all of the sloped sides are angled downward, and wherein the two sloped sides farthest from the peaked center are sloped at a greater angle than the two sloped sides closest to the peaked center.
The present invention optionally includes a tube-style tailgate, which can be used with a tube-style truck body or with a conventional truck body.
In an alternate embodiment, the truck body of the present invention is comprised of steel I-beams in lieu of square steel tubing. This embodiment provides many of the same advantages as the tube-style truck body.

The number and configuration (i.e., combination of single- and double-size tube-style support members) will vary depending on the size and strength requirement of the truck body based on the particular application involved. The present invention is not limited to any particular number or configuration of tube-style support members. The square tubing 4 is preferably made of steel. As shown more clearly in
The side-sloped canopy 12 comprises two sloped sides 13, which ensure that no material is retained on the sides of the canopy. The retention of material on top of the canopy, which occurs with traditional flat canopies (see
The forward wedged front wall allows for a more accurate calculation of the vehicle's payload because material that might otherwise accumulate on the canopy is included in the material envelope created by the truck body. With the side-sloped canopy 12 and forward wedged front wall 8, material that might accumulate on the canopy is sloughed off in the loading area, which is usually consistently maintained, or directed downward into the truck body 1. In traditional truck bodies with a flat front wall and flat canopy (see
In addition to directing material off of the rear of the canopy, the forward wedged front wall also prevents material from accumulating in the front corners of the truck body. As noted above, in traditional truck bodies, material tends to accumulate in the front corners of the truck body because there is a ninety (90)-degree angle between the line formed by the joinder of the floor and sidewall and the line formed by the joinder of the floor and front wall (see
With the tube-style truck body, the strength and durability of the truck body is greatly improved. One reason for this improvement in performance is because with the tube-style support members, one side of the square tubing 4 is flush against the structure that it is intended to support (e.g., the sidewall, floor, front wall or canopy), thereby providing additional structural integrity to and reducing the stress on the truck body. In addition, the square tubing has superior resistance to bending and twisting because of its box shape versus the open-side shape of the bent rib. The higher yield strength of the tube-style support members as compared to the bent ribs has been proven through finite element analysis tests run on truck bodies with both types of structures.
Other advantages of the tube-style truck body include the fact that the tube-style support members may potentially weigh less than the bent ribs of a traditional truck body. The reason the tube-style support members may be lighter than the bent ribs is because a common way to improve the strength of a bent rib is to increase the thickness of the steel plate that is used to create the rib. With a tube-style support member, due to its square shape, the steel does not have to be as thick to provide the same degree of strength. The thickness of the square tubing is selected based on the anticipated life of the truck body and the load that it will incur during that life.
Another advantage of the tube-style truck body is that it is easier to manufacture and provides a better weld site than the traditional bent ribs. The tube-style truck body is easier to manufacture because the square tubing is commercially available and does not require any changes other than in length. The square tubing does not have to be formed and bent, which greatly reduces manufacturing time and labor costs. The tube-style truck body provides a better weld site than a bent rib because it intersects the outside of the truck box at a ninety (90)-degree angle and because the corners of the square tubing are rounded, which naturally produces a weld land between the flat plate and the tubing.
Furthermore, the time associated with the manufacturing process is reduced with the tube-style support members because all of the pieces are consistent in size and shape, which is not necessarily the case with the bent ribs. Because the bent ribs are formed on a press brake, the angles may change slightly from one bent rib to another. These slight differences in size require more labor during the process of fitting the components together.
In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, steel I-beams are used in lieu of the square steel tubing.
Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects. The appended claims are therefore intended to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Awesome mix. I played this game plenty of times, but I usually played as Zero. Even when I played as X and got to this part the origional just didn't catch my attention. Just seemed forgetable compared to the other music. I like how you mixed in sound clips from the game. Nice work.

Blog of the Day? 'Faces of the Last Season of Oprah'
And Oprah more than returns the favor to her enamored followers, giving away lavish gifts like cars and, most recently, a trip to Australia (which will reportedly cost the country $3M). The most important thing, of course, is that it all makes for great TV, especially the audience members' reactions. All those fevered screams? Grown women stupefied while melting in their seats? Faces of the Last Season of Oprah has it all, check it out! And in case you didn't get a chance to, watch the big reveal video after the jump.

I used to really enjoy the Oprah show. Not so much anymore! Is it just me, or DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN SHE INTERRUPTS HER GUESTS?? I have gotten SO aggravated when her guest is about to say something that catches my interest only to have her interrupt and then the guest never gets a chance to finish their thought! Drives me NUTS!!
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy SiastaEg
Well, I haven't watched her show in a very long time because the apes at the zoo are more entertaining.
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy Dotty
SiastaEg obviously needs and wants some attention. Poor baby.

Yeah, thanks for giving me some.

I have enjoyed some of O's shows over the years, but I agree about her interrupting her guests repeatedly. Also, her give aways do not always include the taxes the recipient will have to pay for the "gift". And many of the items donated are given to her show by the sponsor, although she never mentions that. I've also grown tired of her know-it-all attitude. This woman is as messed up as any of her guests or loyal audience members.
- Tuesday 14 SeptemberBy mr.kinton
I was at first happy to hear O was retiring or whatever so I
wouldn't have to see her anymore but then realized she's probably
gearing up for a presidential campaign of her own since the other O owes her one for getting him elected. Would be nice if she once in awhile donate to all races and not just hers.

2.5 million is nothing for a person worth nearly a BILLION DOLLARS. Why would the Australians pay for 300 Americans to go to their country? Many Americans work, and visit that lovely country all the time... Stop hating on Oprah. Her show is on in many countries around the world. Many overseas absolutely adore her. Yeah she is a racist alright. Her audience is always at least 80-85% White. And do not say something stupid like she is prejudice against African Americans. YAWN.

Email Marketers Better Prepare For Mobile Opens, New Study Finds
The majority of email messages will be read on mobile devices by the end of 2012, predicts email services firm Return Path. In a newly-released study, the company says email open rates have increased 82.4% between March of 2011 and March of 2012, now accounting for nearly 30% of email opens.
Apple devices — iPhones, iPads and iPods — accounted for 85% of mobile opens. On the iPad alone, email opens have increased 53.6% year-over-year. Those mobile views are mostly happening on the weekends, while desktop views are more likely to occur during the weekdays.
When it comes to desktop clients, Outlook is still the dominant client, accounting for 68% of opens, with Apple coming in second with 29%.
Of webmail services, Yahoo Mail has the most readership with 37%, followed by Hotmail (29%) and Gmail lagging at 6%.
The study relies on data Return Path gathered from October 2011 to March 2012 from nearly 500 different clients.

Norfolk Pine
Will07(5)August 13, 2013
Just thought I'd share my NP after a fresh repot this afternoon. Some how it fell over a couple days ago and the old pot smashed. i forgot about it for a couple of days and remembered while i was out so i was able to get a new pot. He's not lookin too good since he got sun burned last fall. Very little new growth this year, probably about less than an inch.
Last summer it was very lush and green and grew a whole new set of branches. I kept it in the same location this summer as last. In the winter it goes into the bathroom and gets good light but not direct sun. I think the humidity of the bathroom is what keeps it alive during the winter.
Just bothers me that I allowed it to burn that one time and I'm still paying for that mistake!

Hi there,
I want to say another time thank you, I noticed I got more than 400 watchers now.
It seems you guys planned that, all that stuff comes at the same time and that in the christmas time...Like a present from you to me^^
well a little update to the Thank-You-Pic, I've tested a bit around and the Bikini were not what I thought and it looks pretty strange, so I will change that.
That means the idea is the same they only will wear a bit different type of clothing, still sexy of course but not the Bikini^^

Recap of Jim Cramer's comments on Stop Trading! Thursday January 10. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:
Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Countrywide Financial (CFC), Wachovia (NASDAQ:WB), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A), Ambac (ABK), MBIA (NYSE:MBI): "Shotgun marriages" are needed in the beleagured financial sector, said Cramer, and he pointed to deal between BAC and CFC as a prime example; "This is what happens at the bottom," Cramer said. "I just don't know why the Fed would say you got to pay a premium for Countrywide …They don't want Countrywide to go out of business, because the servicing thing would play havoc." He added WB and WFC should benefit from a rate cut. Another ray of hope, said Cramer, was Berkshire's courting mortgage insurers MBI and ABK.
AMR (AMR), Mosaic (NYSE:MOS): Cramer noted the comeback of aerospace and believes AMR will be "worth a lot." He thinks a month should pass before buying these stocks. Concerning Mosaic, Cramer said; "I love the ag guys because ag is so good … That Mosaic was down yesterday was just the shorts pressing their bets again."
