Thanks for the reply.
>>As far as Brokers or Dealers not knowing anything, thats a harsh statement. <<
With regard to that statement, I never said any such thing and furthermore, am not stupid enough to make such a statement.
But again, thanks for the reply.
New Boat Haggling
The difference between a dealer and broker is a mute point. Many dealers also sell brokerage boats as well and can service a customer very well. As far as Brokers or Dealers not knowing anything, thats a harsh statement. I have been in the business for 19 years and I like to think that my knowledge of boats is extensive and has helped many find a used boat suitable for their needs as well as having new boats built for buyers. Last thing is that lately the used boat market is a bit bare and a new boats might be a better pick for a buyer looking for a particular model. My .02
New Boat Haggling
Hi there:
Thanks for pointing out the differences between a dealer and a yacht broker, as well as, the other points in your message.
New Boat Haggling
Hi Hamiam:
I am not sure at this point what exactly I want. I do want something that will be relatively easy to handle just a few crewmmembers(or possibly single-handed). As far as size, I am looking in the 36-42 foot range.
The trimarans are particularly intriguing but I don''t really know if I will go that route due to the cost factors associated as compared with monohulls of the same relative size. I do particularly like the shallow draft capability of these designs. On the other hand, those types of boats seem to suffer quite a bit when it comes to fresh water and fuel loading capabilities.
I expect that I will continue to study my options for many more months before finally committing to a course of action.
In the end, what I want is something that will due lots of coastal cruising(read carribean) with possibly some true bluewater voyages.
Am I asking for too much here?
New Boat Haggling
Hello Mike,
I am a Yacht Broker, and have sold new boats. To answer your questions. Yes buying a new boat is like an Automobile Purchase. The rule of thumb is the dealer will mark up the boat 20 to 25%. Most dealers will accept a 10% offer. Pending on the demand on the boat, how long it has been in inventory, and the cost of storage will determine purchase price. Keep in mind that a new boat dealer is not a yacht broker. He has to sell you what they have in inventory. The professional yacht broker WILL find the right boat for you, and will continue to be a source of information for a long time to come.

Perhaps you could tell us what you are considering buying new and we can offer some alternatives in the used boat market?
New Boat Haggling
Hi Mike:
Thanks for the tips. I usually take anything anyone tells with a grain of salt and such was the case with Jill''s advise(and yours<ggg>).
I am 42 years old and nothing I have ever bought(high dollar items) has ever been a pleasurable buying experience. In my mind, a pleasurable buying experience simply doesn''t justify the extra bucks I might have to spend in the process.
Also, excellent points on used boats. And I agree totally. I have thought of that often and really don''t want to buy new but I may simply have to due to the availibility of what interests me in the used markets.
All in all, I rather enjoyed your posting(and Jill''s) and look forward to any others by other folks out there.
New Boat Haggling
I don''t think new boats are that good of a deal. I would much rather have a boat that has been "adjusted" and the defects have been shaken out.
An exception might be if you know exactly what you want and have a boat built to your particular specifications.
Better to get a stock boat direct from an owner and to eliminate the broker. What good can a broker do you the buyer? Lie to you so it''s an "enjoyable experiance".
When you ask questions to a broker about a particular boat they never know anything. Has she been hit? How hard?
Talk to the owners they, are more informed.
New Boat Haggling
Dear Mike:
Please be advised that Jill is a yacht broker and her opinion and viewpoint as a seller/broker may not be totally in line with that of your''s, a buyer. While I agree that boat buying SHOULD be an enjoyable experience, oftentimes it is anything but. As with all big ticket items, their is an expectation on both sides that a price negotiation will occur. Jill is simply incorrect regarding aged items in inventory; dealers are much more willing to negotiate on inventory that is not moving. Take, for example, the car industry where some of the best deals can be had at the turn of the model year. I would suggest that following: First, if possible, do not have your heart set on a single model from a single manufacturer or at a single dealer. If you have some flexibility, you are in a better position to negotiate as you can walk away from one deal and take another. If this is not possible, use competition and timing to your advantage. Dealers will compete with one another and make be more willing to do so in, say, that fall and winter rather than the week before Memorial Day. Bid low and nibble like crazy. Once you get to the point where the dealer is unwilling or unable to negotiate purely on dollar price, take Jill''s advice and negotiate for discounts off products and services and other soft items. If the dealer is also a marina owner, you make be able to get something like free hauling and storage which will save you hundreds (or thousands) and cost the dealer much, much less. Same for parts which carry a high mark-up. My last bit of advice would be to be ready to buy on the spot. Bring your checkbook or cash for a deposit and have any financing in place when you walk in the door. Good luck.
New Boat Haggling
Hi Jill:
Thanks for the info and wise words. As one very wise man has stated many times, "you don''t get what you deserve, you get only what you negotiate". (or something like that<g>).

Your Town Tuesday: Clearwater Mayor Talks 1/2 Cent Sales Tax, New Highway 24 Bridge [VIDEO]
Subscribe to AM 1240 WJON on
CLEARWATER – This week in our "Your Town Tuesday" series on WJON, we're focusing on Clearwater.
Clearwater is a town of just under 1,800 people that sits right between the Mississippi River and Interstate 94.
Clearwater's parks will soon be getting a makeover, thanks to a half-cent sales tax. Mayor Pete Edmonson says voters approved the half-cent sales tax back in 2008, and they've been collecting the money since then. However, because of some issues in the way the legislation was written, they had been prevented from spending that money until now.
Edmonson says the town created a Park Board last year to start looking at options for spending the nearly $1 million.
Edmonson says originally they had looked at using the money to build a community or rec center, but that's been put on the back burner for now. Instead, Clearwater will start making improvements to their five parks starting next year.
A major project that's coming-up next summer is the construction of a new Highway 24 bridge over the Mississippi River. Edmonson says they've been talking with MnDOT officials, preparing for the project.
Edmonson says the city was hoping the new bridge, and the roadway through town, would be widened to four lanes. But, that's not happening.
Edmonson says the new bridge will be just a few feet downstream from the current one. Construction will begin in July of 2015, with completion set for 2016. The existing bridge, which was built in 1958, will remain open during the project.
Upcoming events in Clearwater:
Heritage Days August 1st and 2nd
Rodeo August 15th, 16th, and 17th
Next week on our "Your Town Tuesday" series we'll be stopping in the town of Richmond.

Louis Leterrier, the director the upcoming remake of "Clash of the Titans," is a pretty hardcore gamer, and, given Namco Bandai's upcoming release of a tie-in video game, we were curious just how involved he was in the game. Apparently not very involved, but it's not due to disinterest.
"I'd love to be involved...they're just far, far away from me. To be frank, I would have said 'Yeah, lets do it!' and then have too much work."
Turns out, though, that working on a movie franchise game isn't really what Leterrier is interested in pursuing.
"If I work on a game, I want to work on a game game. It's kinda hard to work on a movie and on your game at the same time. When James Cameron or Peter Jackson do that I'm always surprised. That's impressive, just find the time to do all that stuff."
Leterrier went on to talk about just what sort of game he'd like to design, as well as some titles that have inspired him over the years.
"There's so much freedom in games these days. There's no limit to the story that you can tell in games. Take 'BioShock,' for example, or 'Lost Planet.' It transposes you to another planet. The first game that I was hooked on was 'Metal Gear Solid.' I needed to know what was happening. That's what I'd love to do, something with great storytelling and interactive play."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the latest film from Marvel Studios. With so many installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, our expectations have reached a certain level. While many have loved those movies, there seems to always be some complaints or criticisms over the plot (or a lack of certain elements) and too much humor. This movie goes above and beyond what we would expect or want in the next installment.
A minor thing you may have noticed within each movie is they don't pick up immediately from where the previous movie left off. Time has passed since the first Captain America movie as well as The Avengers. Steve Rogers is now working for S.H.I.E.L.D. and there's a great sense of him simply throwing himself into his new role. As a man out of time, his focus is on fighting the good fight. Despite Black Widow's encouragement for Steve to try to go out and unwind, being Captain America is all he really knows and wants.
That being said, we see much more to these characters than the simple superhero persona. A huge element of the movie is an issue of trust. We know that with government agencies like S.H.I.E.L.D., there is always something going on. Despite being isolated in his role of a protector and hero, we do get to see who Steve Rogers is. The same goes for Black Widow as well as Falcon, who is introduced in this movie. This aspect makes the characters feel more alive instead of having a big action movie with less substance. The returning characters here have been allowed to grow since we've last seen them.
With a callback to 70s spy thrillers, directors Joe and Anthony Russo give us a movie that doesn't really feel like just another Marvel Studios movie. The movie is very driven by the plot with nice twists and turns. Some of those twists will be obvious to readers of the comics. But there will still be enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
If you're looking for action, you will find plenty here. It may not be the destruction of New York City at the hands of the Chitauri and Loki, but you will be amazed at what the filmmakers accomplished. There is so much to see in a wide variety of fight scenes. We are talking about Captain America. He's a guy with the Super Soldier Serum running through his veins. You should be happy to know that we'll get to see what makes Cap so super along with Black Widow, Falcon, and even Nick Fury.
Of course Winter Soldier gives plenty of conflict for the characters. Too often the villains in the Marvel Studios films end up being a little two dimensional. We know the struggle that Winter Soldier will have to face along with the ferocity he's capable of. You can also assume he will not be the only antagonist our heroes will have to deal with.
As I mentioned, this isn't just another Marvel Studios film. It's a movie that will have a big impact on the landscape of the Cinematic Universe. Don't expect a simple campy Cap movie struggling to find his way in modern times. This is heavy at times with some rich character development that makes you immediately crave more. There is some humor but it's not as extreme as in some of the other movies.
Thinking back to the first movie, I liked this movie so much more than the first, which I did enjoy. How often can it be said that a sequel is better than the first? This movie simply feels bigger and deeper with more going on. Marvel Studios is building up their reputation with each movie they release. With Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I now have a favorite Marvel Studios movie. This is the movie that makes me happy and proud that I've been a Cap fan for so long. I cannot wait to see it again.

So I find myself in a bit of a business dilemma. It turns out the manufacturer of the material I use for my buttons has gone out of business. I found out about this when I got a batch of the product from my current supplier and had issues with the quality. She, in turn, contacted her supplier and has found out that manufacturer went out of business and this is the first batch from the new supplier. It seems the new manufacturer is having a quality problem. This seems to be the only supplier around. A number of companies make the product but it seems the base product all comes from this same supplier. I contacted another company and they told me the same story. The base product is having quality control problems so they are no longer offering the product either. I'm on the search for a replacement but at the same time am wondering if this is an opportunity in disguise. I've been wanting to branch off into other products and even just other types of buttons. I've dabbled in ceramic and glass and wood but because the resin buttons are so popular it's been a challenge having the time to explore those other options.
On the bright side I do have quite a large stock of product that I can adapt and use to make my buttons so luckily it's not an overnight thing. I do have some time to plan a different approach.
I'm having a bit of a challenge in deciding on a focus. I think I'm going to start on wooden buttons and see where that takes me. They do take a lot of time and I'm still developing designs and improving production so I'm not sure how this will go. All of my other types of buttons are very labour intensive. One part of me just wants to pack it all in but another part wants to figure this out. I'll try to keep my blog updated as I move through this process. Let's see where it takes me. Wish me luck!

Primitive Sheep Handmade Sewing Buttons
Primitive sheep sewing buttons. These are some of my primitive style buttons. These images are from a painting pattern by Betty Bowers. I painted the design and then added the image to the buttons. These are perfect for anyone that loves prim.
The prim angel and the prim sheep and pears are often something used in primitive design. I just love how these turned out.

Dinosaur Sewing Buttons
|Dinosaur Sewing Buttons
One of the many wonderful things about handmade buttons is that you can have them customized to the size, quantity and even colour that you would like. How great is that. If you like you can even add a name or some text. If you're going to go to all the trouble to sew, knit or crochet something special you might as well go that extra mile and embellish them with handmade buttons that are the perfect match to your handmade creation!

I've been wondering if I should put these buttons in my other Etsy shop www.buttonsbyrobin.com but they really are a very different feel than my other style of buttons which are more on the "cute" side. I think for now I'll keep them separate. I'll have to give it some thought though.

Amazon has made many changes lately to provide encryption for its Relational Database Service (RDS), adding the ability to encrypt existing RDS instances and shared data between partners. Database encryption, specifically for sharing, is very important, as is encryption at rest, which Amazon and other cloud service providers also provide. If you wish to control everything, you can use tools like HyTrust DataControl and other encrypted file systems, services, and storage appliances. So, why is there always a debate about encryption, who controls the keys, and privacy?

Improving Virtualization and Cloud Management Security with Symantec CSP
The 3/22 Virtualization Security Podcast brought to light the capabilities of Symantec Critical System Protection (CSP) software. This software successfully implements a manageable version of mandatory access control policies based on role-based and multi-level security functionality within the virtual environment, more specifically on those systems that are critical to the well being and health of your virtual and cloud environments such as all your management and control-plane tools (VMware vCenter, Microsoft SCVVM, XenConsole, etc.). In addition, Symantec CSP will monitor your virtualization hosts for common security issues. This in itself is great news but why are we just hearing about this now? Is this a replacement for other security tools?

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Junior Shaun Waters completed his perfect weekend in singles play with a three-set win over UNLV's Alex Bull at No. 2 singles on Sunday, but it wasn't enough for the Northern Arizona men's tennis team who suffered a 6-1 defeat to the Rebels. Waters also won at No. 1 doubles with freshman Trevor Unger for the Lumberjacks' lone doubles win on the day at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
"We didn't get blown away today," said assistant coach Joseph Heckley. "Against a tough team I expected a tough match and I asked the guys to go out and compete and they fought their hearts out. Every match was close and a lot of the matches could've gone either way."
The Rebels quickly claimed the first two doubles matches at No. 2 and 3 to clinch the doubles point on their home court. But Unger and Waters prevented the sweep by winning their second straight doubles match and third out of their last four, defeating Brian Kenyon and Bernard Schoeman, 8-6.
Like it was the case in doubles play, the Rebels ran away with singles competition, winning the first four matches to be completed to clinch the match in straight sets. Waters then stopped the UNLV run and claimed the team's lone point on Sunday with his victory at No. 2 over Alex Bull despite dropping the first set. Senior Robin Pezzutto attempted to give the Lumberjacks a second singles victory, but dropped an exhaustive third set super tiebreaker 14-12 to fall to Rene Ruegamer at No. 1.
Waters' 3-0 weekend in singles play improved his team-leading singles record to 7-4. He has won seven of his last 10 matches now after a season-opening loss. His win also gave him his second win in as many matches since moving up to the No. 2 spot in the NAU lineup this weekend.
The Lumberjacks finished their weekend in Las Vegas at 1-2, but made some strides following a disappointing weekend two weeks ago where they dropped three matches, including Big Sky losses to Weber State and Idaho State.
"It was definitely a good bounce back from the Weber State, Idaho State weekend," Heckley said. "We had to step up and even though we leave 1-2, we really stepped up our games and that's going to be good for us when we play the rest of our conference matches. What we're working on is paying off."
After playing their first 11 matches on the road, the Lumberjacks will finally host their first home match of the season on Saturday against Western Illinois. The home match will be the first of four consecutive dates for the Lumberjacks at Continental Country Club. First serve is currently set for 11 a.m., but check back throughout the week for any updates on the match time due to weather.

I've been working on a quilt. I usually use my sewing machine, but I'm doing all of this one by hand. So far so good! Can't wait to finish.

Re: What are you doing right this minute ????
The first cake turned out a lot denser than I really wanted it to. Bearing in mind that I haven't baked cakes in ages (20+ years) I really wish I'd paid more attention to my late father who was actually good enough to have done it for a living.
I'm getting back up on the horse and having another crack at it in a bit, just after we have breakfast.
Today is a break from our usual Saturday "Full English" routine. We're having my posh take on Eggs Benedict. An (English) Muffin topped with Smoked Salmon, a Poached Egg and Bearnaise - purely for convenience and because I need all the eggs for the cake it's out of a jar, but hey, the effect is just as good.
DS has not had this before, it's something I perfected during the time I was single and my partner loves it. She does dainty and this fits the bill brilliantly.
We have some Brits currently on holiday on the first floor. When I woke up this morning, the lift wasn't working - jammed on the first floor - looks kinda fishy as it worked fine till they came. DS and I tried to fix it as our guests tonight might find it a bit hard doing the stairs to the dizzy heights of the 4th floor, even harder going down when they're squiffy. Hopefully the Lift Engineer will get called out and deal with it in time for the party.
The Wurst are taking up a whole shelf on the fridge, need to get them out soon so we have more space to chill beers

The cake is now cooked, this recipe seems to be working. Anthony Worrall Thompson James Martin Just need to let it cool, split it in two and build the cake. I have glace cherries well steeped in kirsch as well as a kirsch spiked syrup.
The apples and potatoes for the salad is prepped ready to cook, it'll be a mashed type of salad with bacon and onions on top.
Half of the wurst will be grilled, the other half is the kind you boil.
The missus is really good at bringing things together right at the end so she is in charge of that side.

Had a busy, productive day today.
Was outside this morning, stacking fire wood with the kids. My sunshine even had a go chopping it. He was very sucessful, but won't be doing it unsupervised for a while yet, as an 11 year old boy and an axe sounds like a recipe for trouble to me
Then I started to crochet a new winter hat for my angel, it's quite complicated with 2 different wools, but so far so good!
Then I made bread and I've started making my mincemeat for Christmas, so it smells lovely in here.
So all in all, a good day

What? You think it is too early? Are you thinking that dealing with this year's garden is taxing enough?I beg to differ. There's definitely one thing that you can do this time of year to prepare for next year's garden -- saving seeds.As vegetables mature and flowers begin to wither, consider collecting seeds for planting next year. Once you know what to save and how to save it, saving seeds can be an easy and enjoyable activity. Plus, you have the satisfaction knowing you are harvesting the future and continuing a lineage of plants special to you and adapted to your garden.In the world of vegetables, only seeds that are open-pollinated and "true to seed" are appropriate for saving. This means that there is no cross-pollination needed to get the desired result, unlike hybrid plants that require crossing of two specific parents to get consistent fruits. There's nothing wrong with hybrids; in fact they feed much of the world, but more and more gardeners want to save their own seeds.Heirlooms are a special category of open-pollinated plant. Definitions differ; most people agree that heirlooms are OP plants that are at least 50 years old and have a "story." Some plants come from families or communities that have passed the same seeds down for generations, others are "old-timey" plants that began as commercial releases.Certain flowers can be saved as well, but there typically isn't as much concern about saving specific varieties, mainly because those that are saved have a much shorter list of varieties in which to cross.Plants that are self-pollinating are easiest to save, and result in the most consistent vegetables from year to year. This is why beans and tomatoes are the most popular seeds to save. Both beans and tomatoes are self-pollinating, meaning that different varieties can be closely spaced within the garden and not cross-pollinate. In fact, tomato and bean flowers are made to keep pollen from leaving or entering and are usually pollinated before fully open. Crossing can occur, but it is rare. Other vegetables in the garden, however, are not so particular about reproduction. All members of the squash family are cross-pollinated by bees, meaning that crossing is inevitable when multiple varieties are in one garden. To maintain a pure variety, each variety would have to be spaced farther apart than a bee can fly, which is 2 miles.Some members of the squash family, like zucchini and pumpkin, are actually part of the same species, meaning that they can interbreed. You could end up with a "puccini" rather than a pumpkin. I don't know about you, but I prefer my Puccini in opera form rather than pie.The cole crops, such as broccoli, cabbage, kale and their ilk, are all also the same species and can cross. Fruits like apples do not breed "true," and it's highly unlikely that the offspring will resemble the parent.Another issue to consider when saving seeds is making sure that the fruit is mature when harvested for seed saving. Most people know that tomatoes should be red-ripe for seed saving, but other fruits need to be ripe as well. Peppers should ripen fully to a color other than green, and beans should change color and dry on the vine before harvest. For flowers, seed heads or seed pods should also mature fully and dry before harvesting.Once harvested, seeds should be allowed to dry out, then stored in an airtight container. The seeds should be kept cool to extend storage time. I prefer storing seeds in the freezer, because it is a low-moisture chill that will not encourage dampness, unlike a refrigerator. Seeds can be stored for a few years in the freezer. If you are concerned about germination, perform a germination test by placing 10 (or 100 for large plantings) seeds on a moist paper towel and check for sprouting.Upcoming opportunityThe Kanawha Urban Ag Alliance will meet at 6 p.m. Aug. 27 at the WVU Kanawha County Extension Office, 4700 MacCorkle Ave. S.E., Kanawha City.

Polar Heart Rate Monitor Tutorial
I get tons of questions and emails about my Polar Heart Rate Monitor. Here is a quick guide to everything HRM. Hopefully I can address all the questions and mystery about them.
Lynne asked: "I've recently been thinking about getting one, and read up on them a little online. It said that you need to use a chest strap? How does that work? Does it go over your chest or just below? I weigh about 220-I'm worried if it will even fit me? is it uncomfortable to wear?"
Bethany said: "OK, I need a heart rate monitor! I leave the gym having no idea how many calories I've burned… at all. I don't even really pay attention to the treadmill/elliptical because I've heard they are bad estimators."
Hanna asked: "I wanted to buy biggest loser body bug however it was like above $200. Now I saw this watch that a lot cheaper than body bug. Are these accurate to burn your calorie?"
Answer: Using a HRM is a very accurate way to calculate the calories burned–IF you enter the information in accurately. I entered my Sex, Age, Weight and it calculates the number based on that in combination with my heart rate. Read more…
How It Works
This information is based on the one I use–which is the Polar Heart Rate Monitor (ModelF6). It comes with a wrist watch and a chest strap.
The most accurate heart rate monitors use a chest strap. It fits snugly around my chest just below the breasts. My sports bra (with a thick under-wire) goes on over it and there is no discomfort in wearing the strap. In fact I usually don't know it's there.
The transmitter in the strap detects the electrical activity of my heart just like an ECG does. It relays the information to the wristwatch. In the photo below you can see the chest strap. It can be adjusted according to size. Mine is a Medium and it's adjustable. Michael has one and it's a Men's Large, so the strap is much bigger.
I turned the HRM on and it immediately checks to see what my heart rate is. Before doing any activity, my heart rate was at 72:
Once you turn on the HRM, the first 5 minutes of it is sort of a "warm-up." It's analyzing your heart rate to establish what your range will be. You can also manually set it to stay within a certain range.
There are small UP and DOWN arrows near the heart rate that will notify you if you are pushing it too hard, or not enough. You can turn the sound on and off as well. For example: when your heart rate spikes over your Max Number, it will beep incessantly until you slow down. I turned that off because it was super annoying. Now I just glance down at my watch periodically to see what my number is and adjust my speed accordingly.
I wear my HRM for every activity: biking, hiking, running, swimming. It's worked well for all of them! I also use it to accurately calculate what I'm burning when I lift weights. That really opened my eyes because I was under the impression that lifting weights didn't burn many calories. I was wrong!
If I can't remember what my range was supposed to be within, I can click a button and it gives me this image:
My range is 142-158. If I want to check and see how many calories I am burning mid-workout, I click another button and it tells me:
Once I'm done working out, I hit the "Stop" button and it tells me the following information:
Total Time (below it was 1 hour)
Total Calories Burned (below: 437 calories)
My Maximum Heart Rate
My Average Heart Rate (below you can see the average was 129)
It also keeps a log in the watch of my total calories burned. See the little envelope in the upper right corner? That's my diary for the week.
At the end of the week, it gives me a total for the entire week:
Last week my total was 2059 (minus one swim and a 5 days of walks–so add about 1,000 calories to that). I burned 3,000 or so last week. It resets each week.
I love using my HRM. It gives me the accurate information I need to make healthier choices. Before I had one I went off whatever the machine at the gym told me (never correct) or I didn't do activities outside of the machines because I wanted a number! That's no way to live. Now I do fun things like hiking and snowshoeing.
It was a gift for my birthday a few years ago (from Michael) and I've never been happier with it!
QUESTION: Do you have a heart rate monitor? Which one? How do you like it?

I have a heart rate monitor but I have not found a place that is radio-free and wireless internet-free, with a clock nearby to do the set up portion.
Do you have any problems with other wireless devices interfering with your HRM?
I have the same HRM and like it. When the battery is getting low or if I don't have the chest strap tight enough, it has a hard time picking up my heart rate.
Be wary -> the calories it calculates for strength training aren't as accurate as they are for cardio. Depending on what you are doing, your heart rate will change but due to blood pressure differences and not cardiac exertion. For example, you lift weights (or even just your arms, no weights) over your head, your heart rate will spike but that doesn't translate to an increased burn but the HRM reads it as that. I think that the HRM is the best estimate we can get but still not necessarily super accurate.
For Lynne who was worried if the HRM would fit her, I bought one on Amazon about a month ago, also a Polar. It was a women's model and came with a large strap. I weigh 267 and had no problem with the strap fitting at all. It is completely comfortable. You will forget you are ever wearing it. I completely agree with Lisa about how great an HRM is to have. It really helps you to push yourself if you're not in your range and slow down if you're going too hard. I also love seeing how many calories I burn doing everyday things like washing dishes or doing yardwork. You will be surprised!
I want one! But I also want a holiday. Holiday wins. Maybe santa will bring me one for christmas this year?
I have a polar FT7. I haven't messed around with all the cool little features though. I guess I am going to have to do that! However, I do love what I use of it now.

My friend fights and i work out with him . but he's from nyc. I run, lift , eat rite ... i just want to train . mixed martial arts - or as much of anyhting a good place can offer.
This link might help. Good luck.
Try mixing martial arts yourself. Study some BJJ and some wrestling and some muay thai/boxing. You don't need a gym, you just need to push yourself. Look at Ace.
Sub.. he said he is from Northern NJ, Philly Is in the south and technically its in PA though all you have to do is cross a bridge. though they might be able to inform him of a center near him unless he is willing to travel.
LOL True, but they opened up a school in New Jersey. I may be dumb, but not that dumb. :D
I am right outside Philly in South Jersey so I will give that site a glance :D

I am looking to lose a couple of stubborn pounds around my midsection, and since it is such a small amount I dont want to be paying several thousands of dollars if I dont have to. If i have only literally 2 or 3 lbs to lipo, will it be the same price as if I had say, 30? if not, approximately how much would it typically cost?
Does Cost of Liposuction Depend on How Much Fat You Want to Remove?
Doctor Answers 9
Does Cost of Liposuction Depend on How Much Fat You Want to Remove?
Liposuction is virtually the only operation for which my staff cannot provide a price over the telephone.
The cost mainly depends on the duration of the operation, since the surgeon bills for his or her time and the clinic usually charges a time-based fee for the operating room.
The length of a liposuction operation depends on the number of areas to be treated, and whether position changes are required. Many procedures involve turning the patient face-down. This alone can add 30 minutes to the operative time.
Finally, there are geographic variations in the costs of aesthetic surgery.
Of course it will be worth your while to spend what you need to in order to be looked after by an experienced and compassionate surgeon. Do your research.
Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.vancouvercosmeticsurgery.ca
Cost of liposuction
LIposuction costs depend primarily on the number of areas treated, the type of liposuction, the time for anesthesia, and the type of anesthesia. Volume does not play a factor in the pricing of liposuction.
Liposuction costs and amount of fat removed
The cost of liposuction surgery is not usually based on the weight of the fat removed. Costs of liposuction are usually based on the number of areas to be liposuctioned, the amount of time the procedure will take, and whether or not the procedure will be done under general anesthesia and therefore require an anesthesiologist. In my practice, as in many cosmetic surgery practices, we offer free consultations in which the price of the surgery can be determined before any commitment is made by the patient.

Liposuction pricing
Dont settle for cheap liposuction
Liposuction cost is determined in part by the cost of OR fee, the staff, the monitoring of patients during the procedure, the complexity of the procedure as some patients are going thru it the second or maybe even the third time and several other factors might be involved as well. select your surgeon wisely, not the cost
Avoid Cheap Liposuctions. You will regret it!
Liposuction of the abdomen and hips or sides typically run around $5-6,000 on special from an experienced liposuction surgeon who does the tumescent local technique with the micro cannulas. I feel it gives the best results but is expensive due to the skill and time involved but truly worth it. Because of all the problems seen now-a-days with laser lipos, they are probably the cheapest and I would recommend avoiding them and also any that still do the old method traditional lipo under general anesthesia. Sincerely,
David Hansen,MD
Web reference: http://www.TheBestLipoDoc.com/drdavidhansen/landing/
The cost of liposuction covers time and equipment, not weight.
Usually liposuction is priced according to the area you want done. The amount of time for an area will not vary that much if it is done thoroughly, how much fat is removed depends upon how much is there and how skilled the surgeon is.
As stated below, the cost is to cover the business running costs such as staff, overheads and equipment. No matter how much fat is removed those costs still exist for the surgeon to carry out the procedure. Prices vary greatly between locations and surgeons. Prices will be lower if liposuction is dine in office under local anesthetic.
Liposuction is not priced like the delicatessen
Generally, these do not vary depending upon the amount is removed. Mostly it is the time it takes for the procedure, and the amount of sites that require liposuction. And by the way, is not the procedure for weight loss. You'll be best to consult a nutritionist to lower your BMI prior to surgery.
Liposuction is not priced by the pound
There are lots of non-plastic surgeons out there doing liposuction and even some folks who aren't trained in any form of surgery at all. These may tempt you with a great deal but be very wary. Nobody prices liposuction by the pound, just by either time or area. Regardless of how much you have to remove, the costs to the doctor are still there in equipment, staff salaries, leasing of space, insurance, etc.

Hawkins met with Ballenger and his father Friday evening and agreed that he would be released to pursue options in football, basketball, or both at another institution.
"Matt is a great young man, and everyone at Colorado respects him and his family," Hawkins said. "He's contemplating his future as a football player or possibly a basketball player. He definitely has potential, especially if he pursues basketball. I saw him in the (Idaho) state tournament and if he decides to go that route, he could really mature into a good player. We will support him and do whatever we can to ensure his future success."
Ballenger, from Skyview High School in Nampa, Idaho, was a member of CU's 2007 recruiting class and redshirted that fall. He rose to number two on the depth chart for the first half of last season and saw action in two games, against Texas in Boulder and at Kansas. In the two games, he completed 8-of-12 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown, rushing twice for 16 yards while being sacked five times for 23 yards in losses.
Ballenger, who was listed at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds on CU's spring roster, will finish out semester classes but will not participate in the remainder of practices while considering his transfer options. Hawkins indicated that at this time that Ballenger did not know where he might continue his collegiate career.
The move leaves CU with just two quarterbacks on the roster, junior Cody Hawkins and sophomore Tyler Hansen, for the remaining nine spring practices, including Saturday's 10 a.m. scrimmage at Folsom Field.

I hope most or at least some of you have been following my adventures closely. Please tell me if there are things you want to know more about. I'm afraid my blogs will be getting mundane and boring since I have written 60 over entries by now! I'm impressed by myself that I manage to keep up with one or 2 entries per day so far..... I shall try to sway away from the usual routine sightseeing I do and write more about my feelings and relfections... (I'm sure Lonely Planet writes better than me about the countries)... haha...
Prague is beautiful, as many people would agree. Apart from Spain which I love, Vienna and Prague would be next choices in Europe, given the limited travelling arround the world....
For those who are "worried" about me....don't worry. I'm safe in Prague and I have a really nice apartment. Conducive for studying AND spacious for partying...hehehehhe
Prague...here I am, ONE month with you....

SACRAMENTO -- A shadowy Arizona group will likely remain in the dark until Election Day after the state Court of Appeal ruled today that it doesn't have to hand over records to California's political watchdog agency related to an $11 million donation it made to a California business PAC last month.
The ruling, signed by 3rd District Judge Vance Raye, denied the Fair Political Practices Commission's petition to overturn an automatic stay. Attorneys for the Arizona group, Americans for Responsible Leadership, had appealed a ruling earlier this week by a Sacramento County Superior Court judge that required they submit to an investigation.
FPPC chairwoman Ann Ravel said that though she and the Attorney General's Office intended to file an appeal with the state Supreme Court later today, the effort to disclose the donors' names in time for the election is likely for naught.
"It's disappointing because the likelihood is the people of the state are being deprived of information they might have been entitled to," Ravel said. "They'll never know until it's too late."
The legal team for the Arizona group was pleased with the decision.
"We have contended and continue to believe that the FPPC overstepped its authority in attempting to force an audit in advance of an election," said Matt Ross, a spokesman for Americans for Responsible Leadership's legal team.
Though the donors' names won't likely be revealed before the election, a clearer picture of the law firm representing Arizona group, Holtzman Vogel Jesofiak, emerged, as this newspaper reported today.
The managing partner of the firm is Jill Holtzman Vogel, a Virginia state senator with deep ties to the George W. Bush administration, and her office shares the same building as American Crossroads, the super PAC run by Bush's former political strategist, Karl Rove.
Raye, the judge who signed the ruling, was appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as the court's presiding officer in 2010. He had worked under Gov. George Deukmejian as his deputy legislative secretary and legal affairs secretary after serving in the Attorney General's Office.

Salita: I'm going to crush Khan!
By Matt Richardson
On Sunday morning WBA mandatory junior welterweight challenger Dmitriy Salita informed Fightnews.com that he is ready, willing and eager to face new champion Amir Khan. Khan won a unanimous decision over Andreas Kotelnik on Saturday night to win the title. "Technically, Amir Khan fought a great fight," said Salita (30-0-1, 16 KOs). "But I feel my shot is long overdue. I've been waiting. I'm the young gun and I'm going to crush Amir Khan and he's going to have to pay for all the time I've waited."
Salita said there is a 90-day negotiating period for Khan promoter Frank Warren and Salita's promoter, Square Ring, to finalize a deal. Salita said both promoters had already had preliminary talks prior to Khan's win.
"I'm confident it will happen," he said. "I'm the official challenger. It's up to Amir Khan to live up to his title as a champion and I think he will." Salita said he was willing to fight anytime and anywhere to get his first title shot, even if it meant fighting in the UK. "I'll do whatever I have to do to fight for the title," he said.
"HBO also has interest in the fight so wherever it happens I think it's a mega-fight." Salita, a staple of boxing in New York over the last several years, sounded excited at the chance to win his first title. "I deserve my shot," he said. "I deserve my opportunity and I look forward to Amir stepping up to the plate and defending his belt in the ring against the official challenger."

Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)
Resources for Federal Contractors Section 503 and VEVRAA
As a part of OFCCP's ongoing efforts to support federal contractor compliance with the new Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) regulations, the agency is providing the below list of resources that federal contractors may find useful. This is not an exhaustive list because there are many governmental and non–governmental organizations that provide information and support to contractors on issues related to effective outreach and recruitment of individuals with disabilities and veterans, reasonable accommodations in the workplace, promoting self–identification as an individual with a disability or a veteran by job applicants and employees, and other relevant topics.

OFCCP periodically updates this list, as well as the other contractor resources on its Web site; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the information provided by these resources. Contractors may also wish to access the OFCCP Employment Resources Referral Directory (ERRD) at https://ofccp.dol-esa.gov/errd/index.html. The ERRD lists governmental and non–governmental not–for–profit organizations that can assist contractors with recruiting and hiring qualified workers with disabilities, veterans, women, and members of minority groups.
Organizations seeking to be included on this list or the ERRD should contact OFCCP by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and referencing "VEVRAA/Section 503" in the email's subject line. Inclusion on either list as a resource is not guaranteed and organizations may be excluded or terminated from the list if they support any policy, position or cause that is or could be perceived as inconsistent with the Department of Labor's policies, programs, procedures, and responsibilities. Furthermore, inclusion on the list does not imply that OFCCP specifically endorses the program, practices, services, and/or policies of any organization.

Funeral is pending at North's Funeral Home. Mr. Richey and his wife began the ranch in 1943 with 10 youngsters and an old barracks building. Since that time several hundred boys have resided there under the affection and influence o[ the founding couple. WORKING UNDER the philosophy of "there's always room for one more" whenever possible, the Richcys produced a number of responsible citizens who otherwise might never have had the opportunity lo know what it was to be cared for. Mr. Richey almost left the ranch in the early part of 1951 because of an appointment to the Taylor County adult probation office, but the former city commissioner decided that his place was wilh the ranch and four days after lie had bocn appointed, he resigned the position. MR. RICHEY served as an Abilene city commissioner in 1916 and 1947 and organized the Optimist Cub here which became the first sponsor of the ranch.

The eight-year-old regulator, which uses more than gallons of oil as a coolant and insulation, was ruptured and rpparcntly set on fire by an arc of electricity. B. L. Teubner, a fireman at the power plant, said he was in the cooling tower not far from the transformer when it blew. "There wasn't anyone even in the he said. "Most of the crews were at lunch." TOMMY MILLS, the sub- Elation crew supervisor, said he saw a large arc on lop of the regulator about and immediately called the fire department. Mills and Hardy speculated that the arc cculd have been caused by a squirrel, a bird or "some type of contamination." Even al the height of the fire, electrical power was being switched to others of the 12 similar substations in Abilene and the downtown power was restored. The substation which burned is directly adjacent to the company's main power station just northeast of the Business 80 Traffic circle. HARDY SAID at p.m. all power would be restored in n few minutes. There was still some power failure in the down- town area at Had not the fire department arrived so quickly and worked so efficiently, the entire sub- ftaticn could easily have been destroyed, Hardy said. Even so the ruplurei regu- lator was completely destroyed. It is worth an estimated and another one, some six feet away was damaged by the intense heat. Hardy said that if a new regu- lator has to be ordered, it might be months before this substation returns to ncrm.il operation, but he emphasized the other local substation could more than adequately handle the city's power needs.

Workers'Law By JIM CO.N'LEY Reporter-News Stall Writer A two-hour discussion by the Abilene City Council of a requirement that city employes live within the city limits resulted Thursday in apparent approval of the policy. Attorney Dub Burke, representing the Abilene Kircnrn's Assn.. requested that the council study the mat'.cr with a view toward placing a mileage restriction on employes rather than a .strict city-limit requirement. He said the rule had not been evaded by firemen living outside the city, since they had turned in their changes of address at the times they moved. MOVING INTO the city would create a hardship for these men. Burke told the council, "but they will abide by your decision." Of 1.11 firemen, said that 7 live dulside the citv limits. Burke emphasized that due to the configuration of the ciiy limits, a person could live a dislance farther north of city hall lhan another person who lives cast of city hall yet the man to the cast would be the only one of the two living outside city limits. This, Ilurke lold the council, makes the rule in- equitable. City Manager II. I'. Clifton answered that he thinks the current policy is "primarily a good rule. It's a little bit hard for me to believe you can be a really good citizen of Abilene and not live in Clifton said. HE CITED THE need for f ome city employes, particuhrly fire and police- departmrr.t personnel, to be reached quickly in time of emergency.

Cosmos win Soccer Bowl 1-0
By Charles Cuttone
Executive Editor
Marcos Senna scored in the 50th minute
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
ATLANTA----A second half goal by former Spanish international Marcos Senna gave the New York Cosmos a 1-0 win and the NASL Soccer Bowl Championship in their first year in the league.
The re-booted Cosmos, who won the leagues fall title captured the championship by beating the Spring champion Atlanta Silverbacks at Silverbacks Park in front of 7,211 mostly Silverbacks fans.
After dominating the attack in the first half, the Cosmos broke through in to 50th minute. Ayoze took a free kick from 25 yards out that was cleared by an Atlanta defender. The ball fell to Senna who looped an 18 yard shot from the right side into the opposite upper 90.
The championship is the sixth in the history of the fabled New York club, which dominated the former version of the North American Soccer League in the 1970s and 80s.
New York went on the attack early, and only allowed Atlanta a few serious chances in the first half, keeping Silverbacks goalkeeper Joe Nasco hopping.
In the fifth minute, Diomar Diaz broke into the area, but had the ball tackled away before he was able to get a shot off.
Atlanta got their first chance in the 10th minute when Borfor Carr made a run down the right side, sending the ball into the area, but it was cleared for a corner kick that New York also successfully defended.
Brad Stisser gave Golden Glove winner Kyle Renish his first test of the game in the 13th minute, taking a shot from the right that the New York keeper easily handled.
Stefan Dimitrov forced Atlanta goalkeeper Joe Nasco to make a big save in the 17th minute, taking a shot that was heading toward the left post before the Atlanta keeper dove to cover it up. Two minutes later Cosmos defender Hunter Freeman took a corner kick from the near side, but sent his effort sailing across the area and out.
Diaz came close twice in a one minute span, first putting a shot wide in the 21`st minute, then getting under a cross from Carlos Mendes and again sending wide.
Dimitrov had the Cosmos best chance in the 28th minute when Freeman put a cross into the area. The Cosmos forward had time to settle the ball, and could have tapped it in, but instead tried to slam a shot, sending it up over the net into the picnic area.
A minute later, Senna took a free kick from just above the penalty area, curling it toward the lower left corner, but Nasco was able to dive to cover it up.
New York continued to put pressure on the Atlanta defense and in the 35th minute, Ayoze played a masterful ball into the area, Paul Mendes got a touch on it, but could not redirect it into the net. Dimitriov had another chance a minute later, sidewinding a shot that Nasco grabbed.
In the dying moments of the first half, Ayoze again played a ball into the area, Nasco could not control it in flight, bobbling it in the air, but he did manage to come up with it.
After doing down a goal, Atlanta began to push the attack, and the Cosmos did well to absorb te pressure to hold onto the lead.
Danny Barrera instigated an attack on the left side in the 61st minute, putting a ball across the face of the goal, but the Cosmos cleared it out for a corner, which they also successfully defended. A minute later, Mike Radolphs cross into the area was headed high by Pedro Mendes.
In the 78th minute, Atlantas Shane Maroney barreled is way into the goal box, but Reynish threw himself at the ball to block the shot.
One minute into the five minutes of stoppage time, Barrera swung a corner kick into the goal box, and Reynish punched it away.

Ways to keep my puppy entertained?
Flip is a four-month old staffy x Australian kelpie so she's not small nor big, but has a lot of energy. My partner and I walk her twice a day and play with her for at least two hour every night. We work full-time so during the day she's inside with the cat (who won't play doggie with her, which is very upsetting to Flip).
We've just got some large clam shells and filled them with dirt and water to bury things in; my question is, what more of these sorts of ideas do you folks have? We love playing and spending time with her but we need ways for her to entertain herself too (so we can do things like eat and shower).
She's not so keen on Kongs, either, she seems to get too frustrated and then bored! She loves bones, though I don't want to give her too many.

Ugh..PLEASE IGNORE the PREVIOUS comment!
Toss the food bowl and feed her from food dispensing toys. It will tire her out mentally and it will give you time to do things. I also suggest Bully sticks, cow and lamb ears as well as tracheas for chewing (all fully digestible unlike rawhides). There isn't any problem with giving her these to chew on, it is better to chew on these 'bones' than your furniture and such. ;)
Balls that dispense treats and stuffing free squeaky toys are also fun.

Great advice from Obie. Oh please ignore the first posters "advice"
Bully sticks and Nyla bones or things like these are great for them to kill some time and energy on.
My dogs also love to rip apart stuffed animals but you wouldn't want to leave them alone with a stuffie because of choking hazard reasons among other things.

Member 449 needs to stop spouting this misinformation & bull-hooey! Dogs absolutely need walking, playing, exercise. And drive has nothing to do with training.
That said kelpies are high drive working dogs. So yes..they will be off the wall.
OP..great start, and good advice from Obie & Lexus.
Nosework can be a great way to tire out her mind. You can take classes, or just hide yummy treats for her to find. Flirt poles are also great. You can make one with an old broom handle or piece of pvc pipe. A bootlace, or old bungee cord, & an old stuffie..the stuff-less ones work best.
Great job thinking of these things early..before her energy gets out of control.
