An absolute fave great for the summer not to heavy like the hemp or Shea but thick enough to wear day or night! Only downfall is the overpowering scent a little goes along way!

3.5 - 4 lippies for the formulation (lighter than some of the heavier butters) and 3 stars for the floral scent. for $6 for a small tub it's an OK value - better yet on sale for $3.00.

Nice product. Wasn't sure of the scent when I smelt it from the tub but on me it smelt quite different and subtle but nice. I have heard that scents smell different on different people. For me it is one of the best textures out of all the body butters as my skin is pretty soft anyway and the nut and Shea ones are thicker and greasier. The raspberry and blueberry body butters make me go mmm - I think they smell the most lush so as I keep receiving body butters as gifts I haven't really used thus one. I'd say the scent is suitable for all ages including older people who want something subtle (well as I said it smelt subtle on me anyway) but not overpowering.

This body butter has been a staple in my routine for at least 4 years now so needless to say, I love this stuff! The scent is floral but not in an old-lady way. It is very moisturizing so it suits my dry skin. Though if you prefer something that sinks in immediately, this might not be for you since it takes a little bit to sink in. I use this nightly after I shower and it has kept my dry skin soft and well moisturized for years, I refuse to go without it!
On the subject of cost, it seems expensive at $20 a tub but TBS is always on offer so I end up buying it for around $10 usually, but I recently stocked up at a price of $5 which made me pretty pleased.
If you don't like the scent, TBS has a lot of other body butters which are just as great so if you have dry skin, do try them out.

The smell, oh my gosh the smell. It is divine! Being a body butter the consistency is way more thicker than a regular lotion. Therefore I prefer applying this product at night or on weekends when I won't be leaving the house (and thus it won't matter if the body butter gets into my clothes). It's a rich cream and it really helps with dry patches. I won't be repurchasing it though because it has already lasted me such a long time and after this I want to try out something new :)

I love Body Shop's strawberry series. After finishing two strawberry body butters, I decided to try Moringa since so many people made a lot of positive comments about the scent. Yet... Having a very sensitive nose, I really disliked the smell so much. >< It's just too heavy for me to handle. I admit the Moringa body butter had a nicer texture than Strawberry. It is more creamy and nicer. But the scent... Gah! I can't tolerate it. D:

A rich tropical scent fair leaps out of the jar as you open it. It is certainly strong at first. While some people say they can smell it for hours, I find it settles quickly and fades after about 30 minutes at most. If you are planning to wear perfume though, it might be best either to wait, or use a tropical or white floral, something that would layer well with the moringa. A lingering scent is left in the bathroom, which I enjoy. Texture is thick and a little waxy but I find it has no trouble absorbing into the skin. I love to soften it a bit by rubbing some between my palms for a few seconds. Just lovely!

This smell is something what you can love or hate. I first I hated it when I recieved the sample as a gift. But after some time I was not able to stop smelling it every few hours. I have got the full size and I love it more and more. Love the combination of this body butter with Gucci Flora Georgeos Magnolia fragrance. The magnolia is really light and you can feel it really long time on your body.

I got a small sample of this and when used I bought the full size since I really liked the product.
Love the scent!
I think it takes a long time to dry though, so I would feel quite sticky when I put clothes on when I was in a rush in the mornings.
The price is fair, but the product is used up pretty quickly.
I def don't like the packaging, I would prefer a pump as it seems more hygenic. And I think this packaging is unpractical aswell.
It is a nice creme for those days when you want to treat yourself and have a lot of time.

I really like this one! It has such a wonderful smell and it moisturizes very well. It's thick enough and the smell stays on for a pretty long time. The only reason I wouldn't buy it again is that I prefer fruit scents over flower scents.

How to fix the Twins, Part 2: Buy-low trade candidates appear to exist
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Part 1: Outlining key issues and payroll obligations
Part 2: Identifying potential free agents and trade candidates
Part 3: How a last-place team can get back to relevancy
As of right now, Scott Diamond is the only starter penciled into the Minnesota Twins' 2013 rotation, which means general manager Terry Ryan and company have a lot of work to do this winter.
The Twins have been hesitant to set an exact payroll budget, but it's likely that figure will fall somewhere between $90 million and $95 million, perhaps a bit more. The Twins are locked in for approximately $74 million heading into free agency.
Earlier this season, Ryan made it clear the Twins weren't planning to lean heavily on free agency. "I'm not banking on free agency, to be honest," he said in July. "If you keep banking on free agency, you'll end up chasing your tail. This is not going to be a free agency approach. This is going to be no shortcuts and doing the job the way it's supposed to be done. And that's usually that's with young, development, scouting and picking the right people."
Ryan has mostly stuck to that sentiment.
That said, below is a list of potential starting pitching options the Twins could, or should look at this winter -- long shots, realistic free agent options and possible trade fits.
Long-shot free agent pitching options
The following lists are based mostly on educated speculation, with sourced information mixed in as well.
RHP Zack Greinke (Last contract: 4 years, $38 million)... Most are estimating Greinke will get a five-year contract, or more, worth at least $20 million per season. The Angels will reportedly attempt to keep him. The Twins have shown no indications they are serious pursuers.
RHP Dan Haren ($15 million team option)... Back discomfort limited Haren to just 176 2/3 innings, the lowest total of his career as a starter, and a career-worst 4.33 ERA and 4.24 FIP. But Haren, 32, remains a strikeout pitcher who rarely issues free passes, and prior to 2012 he had thrown at least 215 innings in seven straight seasons. The Angels aren't expected to pick up his option.
RHP Ryan Dempster (Last contract: 4 years, $52 million)... Dempster, 35, gave up 10 home runs in 69 American League innings after being dealt from the Cubs to the Rangers.
RHP Edwin Jackson (Last contract: 1 year, $11 million)... Jackson and his agent, Scott Boras, weren't satisfied with the multi-year options on the table last winter, so Jackson elected to sign a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals in an effort to boost his value. Jackson, 28, wasn't spectacular, but he was solid, posting a 4.03 ERA with 168 strikeouts in 189 2/3 innings. Jackson has averaged 199 innings per season since 2007. Many people in baseball still think Jackson will ask for, and possibly get, a lot more money than he is worth.
LHP Francisco Liriano (Last contract: 1 year, $5.5 million)... Does anything need to be said?
RHP Kyle Lohse (Last contract: 4 years, $41 million)... Things didn't end particularly well when he was traded from the Twins in 2006. Plus, his agent is Scott Boras, who will undoubtedly milk teams for every cent in what is likely to be Lohse's last big contract.
Free agent pitchers that might make sense
RHP Anibal Sanchez (Last contract: 1 year, $8 million)... Between Miami and Detroit, Sanchez, 28, posted a 3.86 ERA with 167 strikeouts in 195 2/3 innings. Sanchez battled control problems early in his career, but his command has grown increasingly sharper over the past three seasons. He'll be in line for a healthy multi-year deal.
LHP Joe Saunders (Last contract: 1 year, $6 million)... Saunders, 31, pitched extremely well down the stretch for Baltimore, capping off a season in which he posted a 4.07 ERA with only 39 walks issued in 174 2/3 innings between the Orioles and Diamondbacks. Aside from a strained shoulder that sidelined him for a month this summer, Saunders has been relatively healthy over the past few seasons, hurling an average of 195 innings since 2007. Saunders has always given up a lot of home runs, he doesn't strike out many batters, and he relies mostly on mixing speeds. Saunders' career ERA (4.15) is nearly a half run lower than his career FIP (4.56), meaning he pitches like he should have a 4.56 ERA but usually manages to out-perform that projection.
RHP Shaun Marcum (Last contract: 1 year, $7.73 million)... When healthy, Marcum is an appealing mid-rotation option. But he missed two months last season with elbow discomfort, which is a red flag when also considering he missed all of 2009 due to Tommy John surgery. Since undergoing surgery, Marcum owns a 3.62 ERA with 432 strikeouts in 520 innings. According to reports, Marcum doesn't expect to re-sign with Milwaukee, and he does have interest in returning to Toronto.
RHP Jeremy Guthrie (Last contract: 1 year, $8.2 million)... Since becoming a full-time starter in 2008, Guthrie's average season looks like this: 198 innings, 4.31 ERA, 5.3 strikeouts per nine, a lot of home runs. Certainly not overly impressive, but better than most starting pitchers the Twins have trotted out over the last two seasons. Much like Saunders, Guthrie (4.28 career ERA) has consistently outperformed his FIP (4.74).
RHP Joe Blanton (Last contract: 3 years, $24 million)... No pitching staff has walked fewer batters than the Twins' since 2002, and Blanton fits right in. The 31-year-old former first-round pick posted one of the league's best walk rates (1.6 per nine innings) in baseball last season. Problem is, Blanton gives up a ton of home runs, and he posted a 4.55 ERA in 603 1/3 National League innings over the past four seasons. What would his ERA have been if he pitched in the American League over that stretch?
RHP Ervin Santana (Last contract: 4 years, $30 million)... It's unlikely the Angels pick up $13 million team option for Santana, who draws comparisons to Liriano -- dominant at times, bafflingly head-scratching at others. Any team would gladly take the 2010-2011 version of Santana -- 3.65 ERA, 347 strikeouts in 451 1/3 innings. The 2012 version (5.16 ERA despite only a .241 batting average on balls in play, plus an MLB-leading 39 home runs)? Not so much.
Possible non-tenders to watch
RHP Jair Jurrjens, ATL... Jurrjens emerged as one of the best young pitchers in baseball in 2008 and 2009, but knee problems hindered him in 2010 and 2011, and ineffectiveness last season might lead to him being non-tendered. Jurrjens earned $5.5 million last season and will enter his third year of arbitration this fall. Do the Braves want to pay $6 million for a guy who posted a 6.89 ERA in 11 major league appearances and a 4.98 ERA in 14 minor league outings? Perhaps not. Jurrjens is only 26 years old.
RHP Randy Wells, CHC... Heading into second year of arbitration, but could be non-tendered based on poor performance the last two seasons. He had elbow cleanup surgery on July, but in 2009 and 2010 he was one of the more effective pitchers in the National League, posting a collective ERA of 3.70 in 359 2/3 innings.
RHP Jeff Karstens, PIT... Shoulder soreness helped lead to Karstens pitching out of the bullpen at the end of the season. He earned $3.1 million in 2010 and would make more in his final year of arbitration next season, which could lead the Pirates to non-tendering him. Karstens posted a 3.89 ERA in 83 1/3 innings as a starter last season, and his 1.8 walk rate over the last three seasons makes him a prototypical Twin.
Trade candidates that might make sense
Any number of young pitchers from Atlanta or Tampa Bay... The Braves and Rays both have a slew of good, young starting pitching, and both are likely to lose their starting center fielders to free agency. The Twins have two starting center fielders in their lineup -- Ben Revere and Denard Span. It's also worth noting Atlanta had one of their top scouts at several Twins home games in July and August of last season. Keep an eye on Atlanta and Tampa.
LHP Mark Buehrle, MIA (2013 salary: $11 million)... Yes, Buehrle just signed a four-year, $58 million contract with the Marlins last offseason. But according to league sources, Buehrle, 33, is far from off-limits. The left-hander has $48 million remaining on his back-loaded contract, and sources say the Marlins would eat a large chunk of that contract in a potential trade. It's likely a prospect or two would be needed to complete any trade. Buehrle was, well, classic Buehrle in Miami last season, posting a 3.74 ERA in 202 1/3 innings. He has now thrown at least 200 innings in 12 straight seasons. The Marlins had one of the highest payrolls in baseball last season, but attendance fell short of expectations in their new ballpark. So did their win total.
LHP Jason Vargas, SEA (estimated 2013 salary: $6.5 million)... This one is probably a long shot, mostly because Vargas -- entering his final year of arbitration -- is good enough to command a decent player in return via trade, and also because there maybe comparable free agents available for a similar price. That said, any player entering the final year of arbitration is a trade candidate. Vargas is a horse, racking up 418 1/3 innings over the past two seasons while posting a 4.05 ERA. He gives up a lot of home runs (35 in 2012), but he pitches deep into games.
LHP Ricky Romero, TOR (2013 salary: $7.75 million)... Romero is in the middle of a five-year, $30.1 million contract that runs through 2015 with a team option for 2016. He will make $7.5 million in 2014 and again in 2015. As recently as 2011, Romero was one of the best pitchers in baseball, posting a 2.92 ERA with 178 strikeouts in 225 innings. Last season he led the league in walks and posted one of the worst ERAs in baseball (5.77) over 181 innings. Romero's decline and loss of control is odd. His velocity is about the same (91-92 mph), although he did start throwing a cutter more often in 2012. He turns 28 this offseason, so he's just entering the prime of his career. And he still ranks among the league leaders in groundballs induced. Even coming off a dismal season, Romero would likely be difficult to acquire from a pitching-starved Blue Jays team.
RHP Daniel Bard, BOS (estimated 2013 salary: $1.8 million)... After emerging as one of Boston's best relievers in 2010 and 2011, the 27-year-old Bard moved into the starting rotation in 2012, where he mostly struggled before a June demotion to Triple-A Pawtucket. Bard's control went awry in the majors and minors last season, but he obviously has immense talent. There is a sense among league circles the Red Sox could make him available this offseason, rather than pay him upwards of $2 million through arbitration.
LHP John Lannan, WAS (estimated 2013 salary: $5.5 million)... Due to a crowded Nationals rotation, Lannan spent most of the season in Triple-A, where he posted a 4.30 ERA and 4.46 FIP in 148 2/3 innings. He is a soft-tossing lefty who induces a lot of groundballs, but he hardly moves the needle beyond potentially slotting in as an innings-eating No. 5 starter. The Twins have already held previous discussions with the Nationals regarding pitching going back to 2011.
RHP Phil Hughes, NYY (estimated 2013 salary: $5 million)... Hughes wasn't terrible last season (4.23 ERA, 4.56 FIP, 165 strikeouts in 191 1/3 innings, although he did give up 35 home runs). But pretty soon the Yankees, who selected Hughes in the first round of the 2004 draft, will be forced to decide if the 26-year-old right-hander fits into their long-term plans. Chances are Hughes, a fly-ball pitcher, would fit better in a more spacious ballpark with less media scrutiny.
RHP Josh Johnson, MIA (2013 salary: $13.75 million)... Johnson is set to become a free agent after the 2013 season, and the Marlins must decide whether he will be with the team long-term. Per league sources, the Marlins made it known Johnson was available for the right price at the trade deadline in July, but they were looking for top prospects in return. Teams were rightfully skeptical based on Johnson's history of shoulder inflammation, and because Johnson (3.81 ERA, 7.8 strikeouts per nine in 191 1/3 innings) is no longer regarded as one of the top pitchers in the National League like he was in 2009 and 2010. Johnson, born in Minneapolis, turns 29 in January.
RHP Jeff Niemann, TB (estimated 2013 salary: $3.2 million)... Niemann missed more than three months this past season after a line drive fractured his right fibula. When he came back, Niemann experienced rotator cuff discomfort. According to reports out of Tampa, Niemann was throwing again as of early October, and he is "one hundred percent" confident he'll be ready to go for spring training. Niemann enters his second year of arbitration this offseason, and the Rays, winners of 90 games, have seemingly proven they don't really need Niemann in the rotation anymore. The 6-9 right-hander owns a 4.08 career ERA and 4.23 FIP while striking out 6.76 batters per nine innings. A deal between the Rays and Twins could make sense because the Rays need bats and the Twins need arms.
In Part 3 we'll explain how a last-place team can get back to relevancy

Tuesday's (April 20) all-Madonna episode of "Glee" imparted an important lesson: Even the almighty Material Girl can be upstaged by the power of Sue Sylvester. From her shot-for-shot remake of Madonna's "Vogue" music video to her extra-acerbic insults of Will Schuester's hair, the Cheerios coach was just on.
At most high schools, Madonna songs blaring at high volume over the loudspeaker would prove to be a bit distracting. Then again, most schools aren't William McKinley High, where Sue blackmailed Principal Figgins into playing her idol's music full blast to inspire the students to be more independent and powerful. (This also, conveniently, allowed as many Madonna songs as possible to be squeezed into the 44-minute episode.)
Sue had her Cheerios harness Madge's power by encouraging them to troll the middle school for younger boyfriends and abandon their last names. She also choreographed a routine to "Ray of Light" involving stilts (not creepy — in fact, amazing) and hurled her greatest one-liner yet: "Sloppy freak-show babies. Somewhere in the English countryside in a stately manor home, Madonna is weeping."
Following Sue's lead, Will made New Directions brainstorm Madonna numbers in an attempt to empower the female glee clubbers and discourage the guys' misogynistic tendencies. This brilliant idea struck him when he overheard Rachel asking the female gleeks for hypothetical romantic advice after her new boyfriend tried to get her to do it after a Wiggles concert. (Remember, Rachel and Vocal Adrenaline's Jesse St. James are secretly dating.) Unfortunately, guidance counselor Emma was no help. As we learned last week, she's a virgin, too, but she did have some pretty hilarious sex-education brochures.
After Rachel's girl-power-y "Express Yourself," her duet with Finn on the "Borderline/ Open Your Heart" mash-up, and a clandestine meeting with Jesse in the Stephen Sondheim biography section of the library, where he apologized for pressuring her, she decided she would have sex with Jesse after all. But Rachel wasn't the only character contemplating losing her virginity: Emma took to heart Sue's quip that she wasn't powerful enough to have Madonna piped into her office and told Will it was on. Foreplay would start at 7:30 sharp. And Santana decided Finn was the younger, inferior man she needed in order to emulate Madonna.
The resulting (and inevitable) "Like a Virgin" extravaganza followed the three couples on their sexual adventures and was perhaps the best "Glee" number yet, as far as integrating the song and choreography into the plot and allowing multiple characters to sing solos. All six shared vocal duties — even Santana! And she sounded great.
Still, it turns out that not all the couples went through with the deed. Although she told Finn the next day that she did it, Rachel didn't actually leave the bathroom, even as Jesse implored her to "Just come out so we can talk. Or sing about it." Jesse's solution: transferring to McKinley to prove how much he respected Rachel. Finn, on the other hand, lied and said he didn't do it when he actually did. Emma chickened out and ran home barefoot. She and Will decided Monday that they'd readdress their sexual chemistry after his divorce was official and she got help for her OCD.
Kurt and Mercedes made the Sue Sylvester "Vogue" video as a multimedia presentation for their New Directions Madonna song (it's almost indescribably amazing), and they were rewarded for their hard work in the form of positions as the Cheerios' new lead singers, roles they debuted with a cover of the Madonna/ Justin Timberlake duet "4 Minutes." Closing out the episode was a take on "What It Feels Like for a Girl" from the boys and a show-stopping "Like a Prayer," complete with gospel choir, from the whole gang.
Did the all-Madonna episode live up to its hype? Sound off in the comments!

If you mean Melo could be looking for a way to get a paycheck other than playing basketball in the NBA then you are probably right.
Love the commercial though.

Send KG to a contendor.....fine. Send PP to a contendor....fine. Try to get Pau Gasol.....ok. But don't do anything, under any circumstances, to help the Lakers.

MASSENA - Buildings that have long been a part of Massena history may be entering an exclusive group in the future, after recent discussions between the Massena Historic Preservation Committee and the states Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
Business Development Corporation (BDC) for a Greater Massena Vice President Larry Ralston informed the board of the meetings that have taken place with SHPO.
The goal of this committee is to pinpoint buildings within Massena that are qualified to be recognized as a historic building and be found in both the state and the national registry. Why is this important? Because there are financial incentives for renovations of these buildings, Mr. Ralston explained.
We met to develop a strategy on how this was going to be accomplished and R. Shawn Gray was appointed the task of contacting Mr. (William) Krattinger, who is with the state Historic Preservation Office, because he is key to our success in obtaining this goal.
Once we had the date when he was going to be here, Ken (C. Cornell) had us put together a targeted four buildings downtown. The theater, Hughs Barbershop, Cyberworld, and Phil and Jackies Gift Shop. We put together a package for Mr. Krattinger showing pictures of the buildings, both current pictures and we went back into the archives and found basically original pictures.
Mr. Cornell is the chairman of the Massena Historic Preservation Committee that holds meetings twice per month.
Sally Yeddo is a committee member who Mr. Ralston explained has looked into the historical aspects of the different buildings.
We also had some of the committee members do research on the architectural aspects of those buildings. We put this together in a binder and we met with Mr. Krattinger (Thursday). We had a two-hour meeting with him that included a walkabout downtown, Mr. Ralston said.
Bottom line in this, I was very pleased. We had an excellent meeting. He seemed to accept a lot of the strategies that we had put together ,and he said he would be working with us and he would be talking with the folks down in Albany, to his peers and to his superiors letting them know what is going on here. He would be glad and would provide guidance as we make our way through this, he noted.
So it was very worthwhile and right now I am very excited about our prospects of getting this done.
BDC Executive Director Thomas Sullivan noted that he is encouraged by the recent meetings, particularly since the state agency had turned down similar requests from the committee in the past.
You know Kenny (Cornell), he doesnt take no for an answer. He dug in and reopened the discussions, and, as Larry said, it was quite positive, Mr. Sullivan said. I think once (Mr. Krattinger) started walking around the community, he started getting a better feel of what was really here and identified possibly expanding the area, not to make it so limited. Also they identified certain buildings that could be done just on an individual basis.

[0001] This Invention relates to covers used in nautical applications to cover openings in the hulls of ships including submarines and other devices used in water environments especially in oceans, seas and large fresh water bodies such as the Great Lakes.
[0002] These hull openings, called sea chests and side thrust covers, usually take form of cavities of various shapes. To prevent water in the sea chests from entering the interior of a ship, these sea chests are sealed to the interior of the hull and are frequently an integral part of the hull.
[0003] Within the sea chest can be found valves to regulate intake or exhaust of water between the ship's interior and the ocean or whatever body of water surrounds the ship, for the purposes stated in my U.S. Pat. No. 5,692,451, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
[0004] To prevent debris, floating material, shells and waste of any kind from entering a chest, a cover shaped to the contour of the ship's hull at the location of the chest, is applied to the chest opening. These covers are frequently made of cast iron or steel. Further, these covers are designed to allow passage of water between the chest and the ocean in response to pressure differences. This free passage is guaranteed by providing holes in the covers. These are drilled or are formed when the covers are fabricated from rods welded to form an array of spaced horizontal and vertical rods. Other manufacturing techniques exist. The holes or the openings in the grid act as filters to keep out debris and to allow free movement of water through the cover.
[0005] A major difficulty with the covers is the growth of algae, barnacle, etc. on the surface of both cast iron and steel covers. Such growth in time diminishes flow of water into and out of sea chests putting pressure on the pumps used to move the water, and changing the rate at which the water is moving.
[0006] Another difficulty arises from the oxidizing of the covers, especially of those formed from cast iron. Both the cast iron and the steel covers suffer from deposits of salts due to the electrolytic reactions stemming from the dissimilar metals of hull and covers in a bath of essentially dissociated ionic salts. To overcome these shortcomings, the covers are painted with anti fouling paints. This remedy is at best moderately successful and expensive since the procedure requires the ship to be in dry dock. The procedure is cyclical. Any breaks in the thin protective coat of paint become a starting point for erosion.
[0007] A third problem arises from pitting of the metal surface of the covers and from the inherent crystalline formation especially of the surface of the cover. The erosion caused by scouring effect of a ship's movement in the water and the release of dissolved air bubbles in bursts of high speed micro bubbles, in time flake off paint and pit the metal of the covers. This pitting enhances the growth of barnacles, algae and other forms of marine life by supplying a foothold or anchor to the metal covers. From this point on, the rate of erosion increases due to the waste given off by the marine organisms.
[0008] Finally, in journeys in cold waters, ice crystals grow on the metal covers because the covers are excellent heat conductors and release heat energy to the cold water and at equilibrium ice crystals form because the pitted surface of the covers act like nuclei for the attaching of ice crystals. Heating techniques to remove the ice, though effective, proved to be prohibitively expensive. The remedy in all such cases is periodic removal of the ice, a task for divers, or again putting the ship in dry dock, either way an operation both costly and time consuming.
[0009] The invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,692,451 proposed a one-time remedy for these problems at sizeable savings in time and money. The problems, as pointed out previously, stem from the following facts:
[0010] 1. Debris that must be kept out of the sea chests impinging on the sea chest cover and damaging the thin coating.
[0011] 2. The rough surface of cast iron and of steel exacerbate the problem by pitting due to turbulence as water passes over or through covers causing destructive gas bubble pressures.
[0012] 3. Different metals in an electrolytic solution cause deposition of ionic salts.
[0013] 4. Diminishing efficiency of covers as marine growth changes the effective shape of waterways through the covers
[0014] 5. Increase in turbulence and noise from changes in cover configuration and in growth of marine life attached to the cover.
[0015] 6. Deposits of ice when ship operates in cold waters.
[0016] The remedies flow from the invention design and are not simply applied to some base structure. The invention explicitly calls for the construction of sea chest covers from viscoelastic plastic to replace cast iron, steel, fiberglass or other metals or alloys. Among the effective plastics are the ones in the class of polyurethanes, high density and ultra-high density polyethylenes and copolymers thereof. These may be compression molded. The plastics mentioned and others of like characteristics exhibit the following properties:
[0017] 1. Ability to be fabricated with tough, smooth high-density skin. The advantages gained are the following: algae and other marine life forms requiring an anchor for food to be transported to them, cannot form these anchors on a surface essentially free of pit marks.
[0018] 2. All edges on the covers as depicted in this invention are formed with a radius rather than with square sharp edges to reduce turbulence.
[0019] 3. Compared to cast iron and steel, the viscoelastic plastics of the covers cushion vibration and reduce noise generated both from the water moving through the grid of the cover and from hull vibrations.
[0020] 4. The need for anti fouling paint to protect the covers no longer exists.
[0021] 5. Hard ice will not form on the covers since no sites to act as nuclei exist on the smooth plastic surface.
[0022] While the formation of the covers from viscoelastic materials aided immensely in the remedy of the deficiencies noted in connection with the prior art covers, it was ascertained that the strength of the covers could be further enhanced by subjecting the viscoelastic materials of the cover to gamma ray radiation during the fabrication process which will cause the molecules of the materials to cross-link and readily adhere to each other. It has also been discovered that certain polymer additives to the viscoelastic material will also aid in reducing bacteria growth in the sea chest. But, even with these improvements in the sea chest covers, the deterioration of the sea chest within the ship's hull was not altogether alleviated, but slowed.
[0023] Accordingly, this invention offers a solution by forming the cover with attachable extension to form a liner for the inner -wall of the sea chest which will seat within the sea chest and be capable of being connected for example, to ballast valving. The liner is fabricated from the same irradiated viscoelastic material of the cover to achieve absorption of impact by debris in the water, anti-fouling, minimum algae and bacteria growth and enhanced strength.
[0024] Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0025]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical sea chest cover;
[0026]FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view through the sea chest cover of FIG. 1; and
[0027]FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the sea chest cover of FIG. 1 attached to a liner placed in close proximity to the interior wall of the sea chest.
[0028] The preferred embodiment of the invention is depicted in the three drawing views. Radii of curved sections are drawn to suggest matching to surrounding hull sections or interior sea chest walls and do not suggest preferred curves. The covers to sea chests are sized to fit the openings of the chests and/or provision in hull design to support the covers, as are the liners.
[0029]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical sea chest cover 1 having a thickness whose actual dimension is a function of actual location on a hull and actual pressures imposed on it. FIG. 1 shows a plurality of holes 3 spaced about 2″ on center 4 and having diameters that allow for the flow rate of water required. These holes are tapered 5 as depicted in FIG. 2 showing upper 6 and lower edges 7 of the holes 5 possessing a radius of curvature for increased flow adjacent the upper and lower edges. FIG. 1 shows a series of circumferential holes 8 through the cover 2 countersunk to allow tapered flat head bolts 9, as shown in FIG. 3, to secure cover 1 to a U-shaped liner 2 seated within the interior of a sea chest 11. The sea chest 11 is shown with retainer ring 10 as an integral part of sea chest 11. Retainer ring 10 is integral to or attached to inner surface 12 of hull 18, as in FIG. 3 so the cover 1 is flush with outer surface 17 of hull 18. A gasket 16 can separate lower surface 19 of cover 1 from upper surface 17 of liner 2. The ring 10 and integral sea chest 11 can be cemented to the interior wall of the hull. Ballast valves 20, 21 or the like can extend through both the sea chest wall and liner.
[0030] Both the liner 2 and cover 1 are formed from viscoelastic material as defined, and the material is irradiated with gamma rays during the fabrication process for enhanced strength. A polymer sold by Rohm and Haas Chemical Co. has been found to be especially useful in retarding bacterial and algae growth on the sea chest and liner walls when admixed with the viscoelastic material. This polymer is identified by the generic formulation 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyo-4-isothiazolin-3-1.

Biglaw, Gender, Money, Partner Issues, Rankings, Women's Issues
It's been a while since we last spoke of firms that are best suited for female lawyers, and it seems like every few months, a new "best of" list pops up to remind us that women usually get the short end of the stick if they've chosen a Biglaw career. You see, little lists like this don't exist for men, because they don't need to. No one is curious about which firms have the most men in leadership roles. No one is wondering about which firms have the greatest number of male equity partners. Biglaw lives to serve men, and in most cases, they are the ones claiming all of the power, the prestige, and most importantly, the money, while women are left in the dust.
Sure, we love finding out which firms have been ranked as the most family friendly, and at which firms a woman might be able to land a top management role, but what we really want to know is which firms are capable of offering perks like these along with booming compensation.
Luckily, thanks to the Women in Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF), now we'll be able to find out. Want to see which Biglaw firms are offering female attorneys the chance to perform on par with their male colleagues in terms of both power and pay? Let's check out the list…
WILEF offers Biglaw firms with 200 or more lawyers practicing in the U.S. the chance to become Gold Standard certified, meaning that they must comply with four of six benchmarks meant to drive women lawyers to succeed in business development and leadership roles. Here are the criteria:
This year, 42 firms made the cut, which is shocking considering how eager Biglaw firms are to fall all over themselves to parade their women's initiatives. Here are the recipients of Gold Standard certification:
Ballard Spahr
Crowell & Moring
Davis Polk & Wardwell
Davis Wright Tremaine
Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner
Fredrikson & Byron
Frost Brown Todd
Fulbright & Jaworski
Goodwin Procter
Haynes and Boone
Holland & Hart
Holland & Knight
Hughes Hubbard & Reed
Jackson Lewis
Jenner & Block
K&L Gates
Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton
Latham & Watkins
Leonard, Street and Deinard
Littler Mendelson
Locke Lord
Manatt Phelps & Phillips
McCarter & English
Morrison & Foerster
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe
Paul Hastings
Perkins Coie
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
Quarles & Brady
Reed Smith
Shook, Hardy & Bacon
Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick
Simpson Thacher & Bartlett
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
Stinson Morrison Hecker
Stoel Rives
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan
Thompson Hine
Although WILEF doesn't tell us how the firms stack up against one another in terms of the criteria needed for certification, we do know that only six firms met all six benchmarks for excellence. Those firms are: FordHarrison (certified three years in a row); Fredrikson & Byron (certified for the second year in a row in all six categories); Holland & Hart (certified three years in a row); Littler Mendelson (certified three years in a row); Reed Smith (certified three years in a row in all six categories); and Shook Hardy & Bacon (certified three years in a row in all six categories).
So, as of January 2013, which firms here had the highest percentage of female attorneys on their management committees? Those would be Cooley (25 percent); Fulbright & Jaworski (50 percent); Paul Hastings (26 percent); Reed Smith (38 percent); Shook Hardy & Bacon (36 percent); and Sutherland Asbill & Brennan (33 percent). Fulbright, Reed Smith, and Shook Hardy were previously described as "outliers" for their vast female representation in the top ranks of the firm.
And in case you're wondering which firms also offer women the chance to attain a sense of work/life balance through family-friendly programming while they rake in their dough, they are as follows: Fulbright & Jaworski; Goodwin Procter; Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe; Perkins Coie; and Reed Smith.
In all, it seems like the biggest winner here is Reed Smith. With an appearance on all three of these lists — and having been certified in all six categories of WILEF Gold Standard excellence three years running — not only does the firm achieve top marks for offering its women attorneys top compensation, but it also offers women the chance to do so while working their way up the rungs of the leadership ladder and still maintaining an active role in their families. We commend you on a job well done.
Congratulations to all of the firms that made WILEF's criteria for Gold Standard certification, and a big shout out to Reed Smith for rising to the top of the pack when it comes to women's empowerment in Biglaw. We still have a long way to go, but these firms are making big strides in the right direction.

Kauai copper theft probe underway
$10,000 worth of copper stolen in Kekaha, Hanapepe
Kauai police are investigating two cases of copper theft reported on Thursday in Kekaha and Hanapepe.
The first incident occurred sometime between 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 8:30 a.m. on Thursday at a storage facility located on Kekaha Road, across from the old Kekaha Sugar Mill.
The unknown suspect, or suspects, appear to have cut through a pad lock to access 16 rolls of copper wiring. The value of the roughly 130 feet of copper is estimated at $8,000.
Police were then dispatched to the Hanapepe Stadium where thieves cut through a chain link fence. Roughly three rolls of copper wire valued at around $2,000 were stolen from a storage shed. The incident appears to have occurred between 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 10:30 a.m. on Thursday.
"Copper theft is a reoccurring problem, but stolen copper isn't valuable if it can't be sold," stated Assistant Chief of the Investigative Services Bureau Roy Asher. "We want the public to be mindful in the event that anyone can provide information, but we'd also like to prevent future thefts from occurring."
Anyone with information on these incidents is asked to contact Police Dispatch at 241-1711 or Det. Bryson Ponce, 241-1681.

Food and Dining Fun Facts
Americans Eating Animals
How many animals are eaten by human beings in the United States?
An estimate published in 2008, in the New York Times, stated that Americans eat about 10 billion animals every year. Most popular eaten animals are cows, chickens, and pigs!
Taste Testers
According to Consumer Report (February 2007), taste testers preferred McDonald's coffee over Starbucks's.
Does price determine the quality of wine, or does quality of wine determines the quality of wine? Researchers at California Institute of Technology scanned brain activity during wine taste testing. When they placed a $45 price tag on a $5 wine bottle, taste testers' brain scans showed more pleasure than when the real price tag of $5 was left on the bottle.
How Much Do Americans Eat?
An American on average eats 120 pounds of potatoes each year.
An American on average eats 22 pounds of tomatoes each year.
An American on average eats 20 pounds of apples each year.
Americans eat about 100 acres of pizza each day.
A Nation High on Sugar
In 2005, the average American consumed 140 pounds of sugar.
The average German or French consumed about 70 pounds of sugar.
The average Chinese consumed about 15 pounds.
It is almost impossible for one person to drink a whole gallon of milk in one hour period without vomiting. A chemistry high school teacher was suspended because he informed his students about the impossibility of drinking a gallon of milk within one hour and challenged his students to try; those who did porved him right.
To Waste
According to Timothy Jones, an anthropologist at the University of Arizona, the Average American household throws away 14% of its food—that is, 470 pounds of food or around $600 worth of food each year per household.
Terra Bite Lounge, in Kirkland, Washington, has no prices listed for any of its menu items. Its owner Ervin Peretz wanted customers to pay according to what they think their food and service are worth. So far it's been profitable since those who are generous make up for those who are stingy and take advantage of the system.
As Fresh As It Gets
Bighead and Silver Carp
A Taiwanese chef, from the southern city of Chiayi, got in trouble with animal rights for deep frying carp while alive, and serving it with its head still moving. The dish is a Chinese dish called "yin yang fish." The chef said that the purpose of serving the meal with the fish head still alive is to show customers how fresh the fish is.

Friday's district football battles saw two area pigskin squads crush their conference opponents while two others suffered defeat.
Ruidoso traveled to archrival Portales and annihilated the Rams, 47-0, with a great defensive and offensive performance.
Capitan entertained the Mescalero Apache Chiefs, but was not the most congenial of hosts, as proven by the 54-0 shellacking it foisted upon its visitors.
Carrizozo played a tough conference foe, Tatum, on its home turf but was stopped by the interlopers, 44-8.
Hondo had a bye until the quarterfinal playoffs begin, Nov. 2.
The Warriors scored a big 47-point victory Friday over the Portales Rams and with that win are now 8-1 overall - but more importantly are 1-0 in district play. RHS put points on the board in every quarter of play.
"The boys had a great game at Greyhound Stadium (ENMU's home field) and enjoyed playing on a college field," Ruidoso head coach Kief Johnson said. "It was the first cold game we've played so far, in the low 30s along the way, but the excitement from the opening kickoff kept our player's adrenalin going throughout the game."
Devon Carr opened the scoring with a sizzling 75-yard kickoff TD return at the beginning of the contest.
Still in the first quarter of play, quarterback Bryce Pompos hooked up with receiver Ismail LaPaz on a 24-yard pass play for the second touchdown.
In the next quarter, Ruidoso defenseman Dylan Demarest adroitly intercepted a screen pass and scooted 27 yards and "took it to the house" for a neat "pick six" (pick the ball and go for six) for the third RHS score. Josh Reynolds was in the face of the Rams quarterback and caused weakly thrown lob pass, which partially enabled the Demarest interception. For the last TD of the first half, Parker Johnson combined with Pompos for a 1-yard TD reception to put the Warriors up 26-0 at the half.
In the third period of action, Devon Carr got back into the scoring column on an 11-yard ramble for pay dirt to give the Warriors a 32-0 advantage.
On the next series of RHS offense, the Warriors looked like they put six more on the scoreboard when Johnson caught one from Pompos near the left sideline and followed blockers Kaylen Chavez and Robert Frizzell right into the end zone for an apparent touchdown. It was all for naught as the play was called back for holding. The Warriors tried the same play again from their own 47-yard line and, with great blocking again, Johnson made it to the Portales 25-yard line. Ruidoso scored two plays later on a "fade" to the end zone when Pompos once again connect with Johnson for an 18-yard touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Pompos and Johnson teamed up once more for the last points of the game on a 27-yard scoring pass to give the Warriors their first district win of the season.
Referring to the last score, Johnson said, "Portales tried to put seven in the box (around the line) so we aired it out."
In the receiving department, Johnson caught five for 83 yards and three touchdowns; LaPaz hauled in three catches for 62 yards and one TD and Dilon Pietch nabbed one for 18 yards.
In rushing, Devon Carr had 13 carries for 58 yards and two TDs - one on in an offensive series and one on a kickoff return.
"The offensive line of Frizzell, Chavez, Mario Valenzuela, Daniel Marshall and Zane Reynolds blocked exceedingly well for the run game and gave Pompos more than enough time to throw," Johnson said.
The defense held the Rams to a total of 166 yards on offense - 72 of which came right before the end of the first half.
The Warriors will have a bye Friday and will take the time off to prepare for their upcoming district title playoff game against Lovington on Nov. 9 at Horton Stadium at 7 p.m. The 2-5 Wildcats will host Portales Friday. Lovington is ranked No. 3 (state), basically on the strength of its schedule, while Ruidoso is seeded No. 4. The last time the Warriors won a district championship was in 1989.
"Everyone needs to show up for the district championship contest between Ruidoso and Lovington," Johnson said.
After losing its first three games of the season, the Tigers must have decided they didn't like losing, because since then they reeled off five straight wins, including Friday's 54-point win over the Chiefs. They are now 5-3 overall and 2-0 in district play.
"Don't let the score fool you," Capitan head coach Collin Justiss said. "Mescalero hit hard. But we ran the ball well and our defense was there. Right now our defense is playing extremely well. They're all over the place and tackling like they should.
"Offensively, we practice a lot on the blocking part of the game. Everything I preach - week in and week out - they're implementing on the field of play."
With the loss, Mescalero goes to 1-7, 0-2, and will face Cloudcroft at home at 7 p.m. Friday.
The Tigers will travel to Magdalena for the D3-1A championship starting at 7 p.m. The 5-3, 2-0, Steers and Tigers are tied for the top spot and the winner of this game will get an automatic bid to the state playoffs.
"The district title is on the line and for us to get the win, we'll have to be sound on defense," Justiss said. "This will be a tough district opponent - they are good at running the option play. We will have to keep our heads in the game for all four quarters."
The Grizzlies were 7-1 going into Friday's game at home against Tatum and had won three games in a row. At the time, Carrizozo was ranked No. 3 in the state and Tatum was No. 2. The visiting Coyotes scored 14 in the first quarter, 14 in the second and 16 in the third to Carrizozo's eight points in the second period of play.
Now the 7-2, 2-1, Grizzlies will have to play the 8-0, 3-0, No. 1-ranked Gateway Christian Warriors at home at 7 p.m. Friday. It's too bad three good teams are all in the D2-8-man conference.

I write down recipe ideas throughout the day in this little notebook. Inspiration seems to strike me at the oddest times (while driving, as I drift off to sleep…etc), so I keep this notebook handy in order to remember food combination or Paleo ideas. "Make a Paleo version of Shepherd's Pie" has been on my to-do list for a while now, and St. Patrick's Day was the perfect motivation to cross this off my list!
Well thank goodness that I finally decided to come up with a recipe because this is fantastic! The combination is so delicious…perfectly spiced ground turkey and carrots topped with garlic sweet potato and cauliflower mashed potatoes. Yum!
This Paleo Shepherd's Pie is so good that my 100% Irish boyfriend said that it was just as good as traditional shepherd's pie AND that it had the added bonus of not leaving him feeling heavy after eating it. Exactly what I wanted to hear!
As you can see, there's some cheese on here. I put goat cheddar on top and let the cheese melt to a perfect crisp. I know that dairy isn't "paleo", but I've read a lot of information on how certain aged cheeses and clean cheeses made of goat's milk are considered "primal" and that many choose to eat it from time to time on Paleo. If you don't want the cheese, it will still taste great if you leave it off, but if you want a treat, I suggest using it
The ground turkey meat is amazing here. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I had never really eaten ground turkey before now. I had my first turkey burger last week at a friend's house and haven't been able to stop thinking about them since! So I decided that I would use ground turkey in this recipe and it was perfect. I honestly think the flavor of turkey works better with sweet potato than ground beef does. And I like having a varied diet, so it's a win-win.
My boyfriend also said that he thinks this is the best tasting Paleo recipe that I have made…I'm not sure if this is true or if he just reallllllly misses shepherd's pie. haha But I'd love to hear what anyone else thinks. If you try this, let me know if it is as good as both he and I think!
I said that this recipe serves 4-6 because it depends on when/ how much one eats of it. It could serve up more or less though. For me, this was enough for two people for one dinner (we both had seconds), and for two people to have two (single serving) lunches. ( So it was good for 3 meals for two people– 6 meals total)
Happy Paleo St. Patrick's Day
- 3 medium-large sweet potatoes
- 1 small head of cauliflower
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 2 tsp salt (divided)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- pepper to taste
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ of a yellow onion
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 2- 3 cups shredded carrots (depends on how much you want, I used 3 cups)
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 Tbs tomato paste
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup of shredded goat cheddar (I used Ford Farm Billies English Goat Cheddar)
- Fill a large pan with water and a pinch of salt.
- Heat the water over high heat.
- Lay the sweet potatoes on their sides and slice them into one inch long pieces. Cut the cauliflower into smaller pieces.
- Put the sweet potato and cauliflower pieces into the water.
- Once the water boils, reduce it to a simmer and let the vegetables cook for 14 minutes. Drain the vegetables when they are done and set aside-- this will likely be done while cooking the meat based on the timing of how everything is cooking.
- While the water is boiling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In another large pan over medium heat, heat 1 tbs of olive oil.
- Mince the garlic cloves and onion in a food processor and put them into the pan with the olive oil.
- Mix the minced garlic and onion into the olive oil and let them cook for 4 minutes.
- Add the shredded carrots to the garlic and onion, mix well, and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan and try to separate it into small pieces with a spatula.
- Put the thyme, 1 tsp of salt, pepper to taste, tomato paste, rosemary, and paprika on top of the ground turkey and mix well.
- Continue to mix the ground turkey with a spatula while it cooks, making sure that it breaks into small pieces. Let the turkey cook for 10 minutes ( or until it is no longer pink) and then evenly put it on the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan.
- Then, place the sweet potatoes and cauliflower in a blender (I used a ninja) with the coconut milk, garlic powder, pepper to taste and 1 tsp of salt. This may need to be done in batches, if so- make sure everything is evenly mixed.
- For me, I put all the sweet potatoes and cauliflower in at once and needed to push down the sides of the blender with a spatula periodically until it was all mixed.
- Cover the turkey meat with the sweet potato and cauliflower mash, making sure to evenly spread it out on the pan.
- Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of shredded goat cheddar (if you are using it) on top of the potatoes.
- Cook for 35 minutes.
- Then set the oven to Broil and cook for 2½ minutes. Switch directions of the pan and cook for another 2. Check on it often to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Enjoy :)

The pending sale of Lebanon Raceway to new owners who plan to install 2,500 video slot machines is the latest sign that gambling will expand at Ohio tracks.
Large gambling companies have swooped into the state hoping to cash in on an anticipated boom in "racinos" - racetracks with slot parlors - since they were authorized in 2009. Still, only one of Ohio's seven racetracks, Scioto Downs in Columbus, is being expanded for slot play now. The others haven't even applied with the state Lottery Commission for a license.
Gambling experts say the inactivity is about to end. ...

Last week we hosted a live question and answer session with Erick Rowsell, who races with Team Net-App Endura. The team have just been invited to the Tour de France, 2014, so this is an exciting time for Erik and his colleagues.
You guys came up with some great questions, which Erick answered with some interesting responses – here's a look at some of the queries you had:
John is a returning cyclist looking to build up his mileage and Erick suggested a gradual build up. We'd also like to add that a great way to build up those miles in a friendly and supported environment is to enter one of our RideIt! events – these sportives (and off road rides) are a great opportunity to accumulate some miles, knowing that feed stations and mechanical support are supplied. And the route is mapped out for you, so you can guarantee an interesting course that you don't need to worry about planning.
Lee is also wanting to build up his mileage, and our suggestion remains the same..
Adrian asked about balance, and Erick responded with some tips on core training, and also suggested using rollers more often. Core training is important and will help to keep your body strong, whilst riding the rollers will develop balance and core strength. For some tips on getting started on rollers, check out our blog "Learn how to ride on the rollers".
Adam wanted to know what what the difference is between tubular tyres and clinchers. Tubular tyres are often faster rolling and lighter, but if you puncture they're a bit more difficult to fix, so clincher tyres are usually used for training. We've got a great deal of choice available – so take a look at our selection of wheels.
Helen had another question about wheels - and Erick responded that some deep section, light carbon wheels, would probably have a notable effect..
Of course, the tyres on the wheels are just as important, and Erick recommended Vittoria tyres all the way..
We saw quite a few questions about riding up hills, and into headwinds. Erik was all about finding a rhythm, and just keeping up the hard work..
Erik had a couple of questions about training with power. More and more people are starting to use power meters, and we've put together a blog post called "Training with power: Why, What and How" to help you out if you're considering making the leap.
Injury can be really frustrating, but Erik advised taking some time off to recover, and spending some time in the gym to build up strength and keep fit, if possible…
Ed wanted to know how much a pro cyclist would eat and drink on a normal 4-5 hour ride. Erik suggested an energy bar or similar every hour – so if you'll be out on a long ride soon, check out our range of nutrition products to keep you fueled..
Bob has been hitting the protein, and Erik said a bit of weight gain can be helpful if it increases power, and you're not aiming to be a specialist at climbing..
Another Facebook follower asked about sprinting, and Erick said it was best to mix it up and practice on all terrains..
Winter training and kit requirements came up, too, and Erick stuck by Endura, who make racing and training kit for the team- you can see the range of Endura cycling kit here.
We hope you enjoyed quizzing Erick. Over the course of February, we're hosting Facebook question and answer sessions with Sir Chris Hoy, Stefan Christ, the Head of Design at BMC, and a High5 nutritionalist - follow us to make sure you get involved next time around.
