The Reserve Bank of Australia has stared down some of the more vocal pundits who were calling for a second super-sized cut in its official interest rate, deciding instead on a reduction of 25 basis points to 3.5 per cent. The decision appears to be insurance against the chances that Europe's deepening financial crisis drags the global economy into a renewed downturn.
But the move to shave just 0.25 of a percentage point off the cash rate is also a timely reminder that cheap money and government largesse are not panaceas for the nation's business and consumer funk.
Yet the cash rate, at 3.5 per cent, still leaves some interest rate ammunition if Europe does degenerate into a full-blown crisis.
The RBA also issued a warning about some of the problems being exacerbated by Australia's high-cost, low-productivity economy, noting that maintaining low inflation would require growth in domestic costs to slow – or productivity to pick up – as the weaker dollar took the edge off lower import prices. The central bank clearly does not want to tarnish its inflation-fighting record by having monetary policy viewed as the first port of call whenever economic conditions get tough. Lower borrowing costs won't help get the economy into better shape while voters remain rightly depressed by the shambles of Canberra's minority government and the desperate policies, including an oversized carbon tax, taken to keep it and its union backers in power.
This would threaten the ability of the banks to raise money in offshore markets. Bashing the banks for remaining profitable is against the national interest.
Europe's financial crisis highlights the problems caused by lax fiscal policy and reinforces the fact that tough economic times demand competent and authoritative government delivering disciplined policy.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - An Ammon woman has died of injuries sustained in a crash on Ammon Road on Wednesday afternoon.

Analysis: Hudson's Bay faces tough sell as it prepares for IPO
By Allison Martell and Phil Wahba
TORONTO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - If Hudson's Bay Co wants to provide some measure of comfort to investors in its upcoming initial public offering, it might have to throw in some of its signature striped wool blankets.
The retailer, owner of two of the most venerable names in department stores - Hudson's Bay in Canada and Lord & Taylor in the United States - faces a big challenge in convincing investors it can win the turnaround game, especially with a hip and agile competitor like Target Corp (TGT.N: Quote) about to arrive in Canada.
As HBC prepares for its C$400 million ($399 million) initial public offering in Toronto, it is touting a "transformation" that includes rising sales at established stores, a figure investors watch closely.
But both chains face increasing competition, a likely medium- and long-run negative for the stock. The department store sector has grown slowly as shoppers look online or seek out discount stores.
In the United States, Lord & Taylor competes with a resurgent Macy's Inc (M.N: Quote), and in Canada, HBC faces competition from Target and other U.S. companies intent on shaking up the retail landscape.
"I think an investor in the Bay would be well-advised to wait until Target has entered the market and they have some insight as to what the business climate will be for the Bay on a real basis, not on a speculative basis," said Mark Cohen, former chief executive of Sears Canada Inc (SCC.TO: Quote) and now a professor of marketing at Columbia University in New York.
HBC says its transformation is a work in progress, with more upside to come.
"The focus will be the opportunity to close the margin gap, the opportunity to grow same-store sales," said Walter Stackow, analyst with Manning & Napier, which invests in retail stocks. Continued...

1 & 2 Samuel: An Introduction and Study Guide (T t Clark S Study Guides to the Old Testament)
- A Kingdom Comes
(E-bog, PDF)
Beskrivelse: Scholarly study of Samuel continues to wrestle with how we interpret this pivotal text. Even such basic matters as the question of what kind of literature it is... Læs mere remain unresolved while older questions such as the nature of its text and sources are debated anew in the light of material from Qumran and of current approaches to Hebrew narrative. Recognizing the importance of questions such as these, David Firth explores and introduces fresh ways of reading Samuel as a unified and yet complex text, which displays high levels both of literary artistry and of theological commitment.Although some stories in the books of Samuel are well known, and in the case of David and Goliath even proverbial, much of the content of these books is strange to modern readers. It is a story about a woman wanting a child, for example, that relates the beginnings of monarchy within Israel. Even the question of the monarchy is problematic, for we are introduced to not one royal family but two-those of Saul and David. David is ultimately shown to be the king chosen by God, yet by the end of the book he is only just managing to hold on to the kingdom as it is nearly torn from him by rivalries within his family. These arresting stories are perplexing, for Samuel's writers seldom tell us how to read and interpret them. Firth presents these complex and fascinating stories as part of a bigger picture, enabling students to chart their way through the literary and historical issues of the Samuel narrative. Firth addresses issues of historicity, sources, date and authorship, as well as -- crucially -- appreciating the text as a literary whole. Læs mindre

Bruins in the Olympics: Patrice Bergeron leads Canada past Norway; Tuukka Rask allows four goals in win
|02.13.14 at 2:59 pm ET
Team Canada struggled to get on the board against a far inferior Norway team Thursday, but Patrice Bergeron helped lead his country to victory with a pair of assists in a 3-1 Canada win in its first game of the 2014 Olympics.
Bergeron had the secondary helper on a Shea Weber goal 6:20 into the second period to break the scoreless tie, and he fed Jamie Benn with a beauty of a pass to help make it 2-0. He finished with two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating.
Two other Bruins were in action Thursday, and they had mixed results. Tuukka Rask allowed two goals in the first 10 minutes of Finland's game against Austria, but hung in there to make 16 saves on 20 shots in an 8-4 Finland victory.
It wasn't as positive for Zdeno Chara, whose Slovakia team suffered a 7-1 loss to Team USA. Amazingly enough, Chara had an even rating in the game.
David Krejci and the Czech Republic will take on Latvia Friday after suffering a 4-2 loss to Sweden Wednesday. Loui Eriksson and Sweden will play Switzerland, while Canada will face Austria and Norway will take on Finland.

I am happy that Hopkins beat that team of rapists. :thumbup:
There were no "rapists". Just a headline seeking despicable Durham prosecutor & a lot of national liberal media hot air -- convicting three innocent boys in the media before there were facts, or chosing to selectively ignore facts, such as other men's DNA in semen found inside this "lovely lady". A cowardly :ralph: University President. And the situation egged on by hate-mongering from Sharpton and Jackson.
Three young men's reputations were sullied by a whacko local "exotic dancer" who fabricated stories, their families had to spend $3 million in legal fees to fend off this fraud, the Duke coach fired, the lacrosse team's 2006 season unfairly and inappropriately canceled, Duke's admissions impacted. The only guilty parties in the Duke lacrosse fiasco were the soon-to-be-disbarred prosecutor and the mentally unstable female who brought about this entire affair via vicious lies.
I was glad to see the local team win, but, deep down, I was also hoping for Duke to win to help atone for this disgraceful transgression.
that's a lame post PR.....the facts came out and the players in question were cleared.
I was glad to see JHU win....but for all together different reasons.
Go Navy
Should be a great season in 2009!
I am looking forward to it. I just recently (last year) got into watching lacrosse. It is a great game. I wish I would have picked up on it a lot sooner.

The first will be held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic March 9-14. The second will again take place at the Stein Eriksen Resort in Deer Valley, Utah, June 18-20. (Click here to view a slide show of this year's first-ever Partner Summit.)
"We are very excited to reward our producing partners with lavish reward trips most would never buy for themselves," said Adam Edwards, president of Telarus. "The President's Club is a fantastic opportunity for our partners to spend some quality time with their spouse in a tropical location on our dime. Likewise, the Partner Summit is our chance to bring all of our partners and suppliers together to receive continued education on both our industry and the tools offered here at Telarus."
This marks the third year that Telarus has treated its most productive partners to an all-expense-paid reward trip. Previous destinations included the Bahamas and Cancun, Mexico.
As for the Partner Summit, this one will feature the Ciena Mobile Laboratory, as well as reps from the top 30 carries and cloud suppliers, Telarus said.
"We set the bar extremely high in our first-ever national conference in June 2012, bringing in ex-NFL great Chad Lewis and former No. 1 AT&T salesman Chuck Reeves," said Patrick Oborn, vice president of marketing for Telarus. "We also tightly choreographed all of our partners' and suppliers' schedules so that the right people were meeting each other and building relationships that would expose them to growth opportunities. We look forward to an even more impactful event in 2013."

We then had about a mile to go to reach our gate, and in the interim, I lost my boarding pass! Yikes!

It is a condition that affects millions of women worldwide and according to an international study, the chronic pain experienced by women who suffer from endometriosis accounts for a significant loss of productivity.
In 2011 the Global Study of Women's Health recruited over a thousand women around the world to complete a survey about how endometriosis had impacted on their lives.
The results highlighted the plight of thousands of women, including many in New Zealand who suffer from the inflammatory disease.
On average women with endometriosis experienced a delay of seven years from the onset of symptoms until they were finally diagnosed and treated.
According to Endometriosis New Zealand, the delay in diagnosis often happens because women think their symptoms are normal and in some cases, doctors might not attribute the symptoms to the disease, or delay referral to a specialist.
For many women whose symptoms go undiagnosed for years their quality of life is significantly impaired.
According to the study, women with endometriosis suffer a 38 per cent greater loss of work productivity and often find that non-work related activities, such as looking after children, exercise and housework are impaired.
What is endometriosis?
According to the World Endometriosis Society, the condition occurs when the tissue found on the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus.
This growth induces a chronic inflammatory reaction that may cause the formation of scar tissue.
The tissue may grow on the pelvic peritoneum (the membrane lining the walls of the abdomen) ovaries, bladder and bowel.
One in 10 women are affected by endometriosis during their reproductive years, which is approximately 176 million women around the world.
There is no known cure for endometriosis and although it can be treated effectively with drugs, most treatments are not suitable for long-term use due to side effects.
Surgery can be effective to remove endometriosis lesions and scar tissue, but the success rates are dependent on the extent to the disease and the surgeon's skills.
What are the symptoms?
Painful periods, painful ovulation, pain during or after sex, abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, bloating, diarrhoea constipation, pain with bowel movements, painful wind, fatigue and infertility are some of the common symptoms.
Endometriosis New Zealand says that doctors may misdiagnose the condition, commonly endometriosis may be diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS), appendiciti, pelvic inflammatory disease of primary dysmenorrhoea (painful periods).
How does the doctor know what it is?
Laparoscopic surgery is the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis which is usually removed at the same time.
Laparoscopy is also known as key-hole surgery. Where a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision at the base of the navel so the internal organs can be seen.
According to Endometriosis New Zealand, the success of surgery depends on how much of the endometriosis lesions, cysts and adhesions can be removed.
While endometriosis can impact a woman's fertility, the sooner the disease is recognised and treated, early intervention can avoid compromised fertility.
In addition to surgery, medical intervention can also provide relief from symptoms, depending on your age, the severity of your symptoms, and the extent of the endometriosis.
In New Zealand, you can access an appointment with a gynaecologist by getting your GP to refer you to a DHB in your area.
According to Endometriosis New Zealand, while medication can't improve fertility outcomes, it can help with the symptoms of the disease.
Oral contraceptives (the pill) are often prescribed for you to try first if it's appropriate. The pill can be used effectively to relieve symptoms and regulate periods. The pill can also mask the symptoms of endometriosis and is not a diagnosis. It's important to work with your doctor to find the pill that is best suited to you. Depo Provera injections may also be offered .
Hormonal medications aim to reduce the growth of endometriosis by suppressing oestrogen production. Sometimes these drugs are used in conjunction with surgery to 'dampen down' active endometriosis. Hormonal medications can have significant side effects with questionable long term benefits. Therefore it is important to understand how they work so you can make informed choices.
Intrauterine device or system (IUS) is often used to treat heavy bleeding, can lessen the symptoms of endometriosis and reduce the likelihood of recurrence of endometriosis.
Pain medications are available without prescription and advice should be sought from a pharmacist to ensure the brand you are buying is going to give you the best relief for your type of pain. Sometimes combinations of drugs (eg an anti-inflammatory and a pain killer taken together) can be very effective but it is crucial that you seek expert advice from your doctor or specialist.
Endometriosis and fertility
According to Endometriosis New Zealand, most women with the disease are not infertile, so if you do not want to become pregnant then reliable contraception is important.
Endometriosis can compromise fertility in some women, though the reason is not always clear.
In some instances it might be because the pelvic organs have become distorted, making it difficult for the tubes to pick up and egg from the ovary to transport it to the uterus.
Surgery to remove the endometriosis and IVF are both effective in improving fertility though.

Les Écrits bruts (brut writings) : when writing is crazy - A lecture by Vincent Capt and Florence Choquard
Thursday November 14, 2013 - 7 pm - Palais de Rumine - Sénat Room
Reinventing language as an outlet.
The texts presented in this lecture have been produced for the most part by persons confined to a psychiatric hospital.
In his lecture, Vincent Capt invites us to join the singular adventure these writings represent, brimming as they do with linguistic pearls and neologisms, such as the Collection de l'Art Brut of Lausanne has preserved for us. Reviewing writings that run the gamut from Samuel Daiber to Justine Python, this researcher will unveil worlds that shatter language into pieces.
Florence Choquard in turn will consider the history and genesis of this body of writings as autobiographical, scientific and esthetic objects. Located at the crossroads of various fields of knowledge, her lecture will touch upon the relations between patients and caretakers, most particularly between Eugénie Nogarède and the psychiatrist Hans Steck at Cery Psychiatric Hospital (1927-1951).
Florence Choquard holds a doctorate in both psychiatry (UNIL) and history (EHESS). Working freelance at the University Institute of the History of Medicine and Public Health, CHUV), she submitted her thesis in 2012: Le regard d'un psychiatre sur les écrits de la folie. La carrière d'Hans Steck à Cery (how a psychiatrist views the writings of madness. Hans Steck's career at Cery).
Vincent Capt is a teacher and researcher in French language and literature at the University of Lausanne. He is also the co-founder of CraB (a think tank on art brut), and author of Ecrivainer. La langue morcelée de Samuel Daiber (the broken up language of Samuel Daiber - Collection de l'Art Brut/Infolio, 2012). His thesis, Poétique des écrits bruts (the poetics of Art Brut writings), is due for publication soon.

Technology and fashion. Those two words may be the least likely combination you'll ever come across, but as technology invades every facet of our lives, it's not so absurd. Given the growing interest retail has shown in technology applications with the help of Big Data analytics, it was only a matter of time before new tech invaded the holy grail of fashion.
Fashion Week is a bi-anual, week-long event held months in advance of the season so designers can show off their upcoming collections. The participating fashion capitals of the world are Paris, Milan, New York and London, with Madrid gaining popularity.
Just as Fashion Week offers a glimpse of the colors, patterns and cuts that will be popular through 2013, the global event also hints at the emerging services fashion will employ with the right technology in order to market and appeal to buyers. So how has technology injected itself in today's fashion?
Personalized fashion chips
Burberry launched a new initiative at London Fashion Week by embedding digital chips that deliver bespoke information regarding the new season's coats and bags. The idea is to entice consumers to pre-order items as they hit the runway.
The name of the game is personalization. Consumers can pre-order coats and bags and have bespoke metal nameplates stitched into the lining of the item they want.
With the aid of a smartphone, the chip displays the story of the coat or bag, from its beginnings in a sketchpad to the runway. The same technology can be found in its flagship digital store in Regent Street, London. The chips will prompt the information to appear in its large-scale mirrors that turn into screens.
Burberry will reveal more information about the technology in about 9 weeks.
Fashionable hackathon
In New York, Decoded Fashion, a company that bridges the gap between technology and fashion, launched a hackathon that brought together hundreds of graphic designers and software developers. The result was the creation of 78 different fashion apps.
SWATCHit, the "mobile-web communication platform that manages coordination between designers and artisans in emerging market textile industries," took home the $10,000 grand prize. Aside from the cash prize, Ramzi Abdoch's team also took home a $2,900 Donna Karen New York (DKNY) shopping spree, a strategy lunch with the Refinery 29 founders at their headquarters, a private Macallan tasting, and a commitment from the Council of Fashion Designers of America to actually build the app.
Doodle for fashion & charity
Fashion designer Alexander Wang teamed up with Samsung to create a new print based on doodles, sketches and photographs, which will be used on a one-of-a-kind, limited edition bag with proceeds to be donated to Art Start, a New York City nonprofit that provides art workshops for at-risk children ages 5 to 21.
Participants will send entries to Wang electronically by using a Samsung Galaxy Note II before February 23, 2013. In a two-minute video for the project, Wang was shown using a Galaxy Note II to gather ideas during the journey from his Soho apartment to his design studio.
Wang, who recently joined the prestigious French fashion house Balenciaga as creative director, believes that his move to partner up with Samsung "represents a new way that technology and style can come together."
3D printed materials walk the runway
3D printed pieces of clothing made their Fashion Week debut this year as part of Iris van Herpen's Haute Couture show, 'VOLTAGE,' during the Paris Fashion Week. The 3D pieces were made by the collaboration of Stratasys for the 3D printer and artist, architect, designer, and professor Neri Oxman from MIT's Media Lab for the cape and skirt ensemble, and Materialise for the 3D printer and Austrian architect Julia Koerner for the intricate dress.
"The ability to vary softness and elasticity inspired us to design a "second skin" for the body acting as armor-in-motion; in this way we were able to design not only the garment's form but also its motion," explains Oxman. "The incredible possibilities afforded by these new technologies allowed us to reinterpret the tradition of couture as "tech-couture" where delicate hand-made embroidery and needlework is replaced by code."

There are a lucky handful who make this a daily occurrence, but for most of the wheelchair-users of this world, it just isn't that easy to do.

I was asked to be interviewed for the Handbag Heaven blog last month, and the post went up today! To learn some new things about your favorite denim blogger (or maybe just get a reminder about how much you love me!), go to the post now!
And, for those of you who want to get your hands on the bag I'm carrying in the post… it's currently on sale AND you can use coupon code SPRING2010 for an extra 15% off sitewide!
Here's a little snippet from the post:
5) What are the three most important tips you could give someone who is experimenting with fashion?
First, always be yourself. Just because it's a popular trend (like those terrible skinny cargo pants!) doesn't mean it will work for your figure. Second, take the time to find your right sizing. A perfect fitting bra, jean and dress will make you look a million times better than you would in an ill-fitting one. And third, don't be afraid to experiment! Some of my favorite outfits have come from trying something totally different, and I've never regretted a look. After all, fashion is supposed to be fun!
Enjoy the interview!

Staley Says Europe Bank Debt Mispricing to Present Opportunity
Debt of European banks will offer investment opportunities as new rules about resolving troubled lenders are written, said James E. "Jes" Staley, a managing partner at hedge-fund firm BlueMountain Capital Management LLC.
"As those rules get clarified, so you can force a recapitalization of the banking industry without going to the sovereign, there's going to be tremendous mispricing between the different levels of the capital structure in these banks," Staley said today at a Bloomberg Link conference in New York.
The European Central Bank has advocated a single mechanism and centralized funds to wind down failing banks as soon as next year, when it assumes responsibility for supervising the region's lenders. That will lead to a more "clearly defined capital structure," said Staley, 56.
Staley, who was head of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)'s investment bank until last year, was joined on the panel by Victor Khosla, founder and chief investment officer of Strategic Value Partners LLC. Khosla, 54, said "bloated" European banks with tens of trillions of dollars in combined assets offer a wide range of opportunities for hedge funds between the lenders' own debt and equity and as they sell assets and exit businesses.
"I'm hard-pressed to think of any other opportunity today globally where there is a $50 trillion balance sheet and where there is this much tumult and this much change going on," Khosla said. "With the number of players who are not ready for this and with relatively few people in here who are really qualified to do this stuff, I said, 'My God, this is El Dorado,'" a reference to the mythical lost city of gold that eluded treasure-hungry Spanish conquistadors.
Reza Ali, founder and chief investment officer of Prosiris Capital Management, offered the example of Dutch lender SNS Reaal NV as a cautionary tale of betting on European banks right now. The Dutch government's expropriation of SNS Reaal's bonds this year exposed investors to losses, fueling concern that credit-default swaps offered inadequate protection.
That helped prompt the International Swaps & Derivatives Association to propose changing rules governing swaps so the contracts explicitly insure against debt writedowns, exchanges or conversions into equity.

He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

- - Raising anchor single handed (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/seamanship-navigation/82110-raising-anchor-single-handed.html)
Raising anchor single handed
I single-hand a lot and I am looking for some hints, suggestions on raising the anchor when there is a wind blowing.
Quick background: I have a Centurion 32, a Bruce anchor, 100' of chain and the rest nylon line. I do NOT have a windlass. I am not sure, though, that having a windlass would have helped a lot since the strain on the anchor rode can be pretty large (see below).
Two summers ago I was in Tribune Bay on Hornby Island, anchored near the south west side because it was handy to my brother's house. A NW wind came up. It was low tide and I noticed that the reef that leads out to Norris Rock was not very far aft of me. When I went forward to raise the anchor, I could not budge it. I thought about motoring forward, dashing to the bow, raising the anchor a bit, dashing back to the stern to regain control etc. etc. but decided waiting was the best thing to do. I stayed another night, not unpleasant at all.
Since then I have been more careful about where I anchor, anticipating what might happen if the wind comes up about the time I want to depart.
What do other people do to lift their anchor single-handed or even plan their anchoring in order to deal with this type of problem?
Occasionally it's not, and we'll motor ahead on the anchor to break it out.. even solo once you're short-scoped and you go aft to motor towards deeper water to break out the hook then it seems all you need to do is position yourself somewhere that gives you time to go forward and quickly finish the job.
However on a windy day in a crowded anchorage I can certainly see problems with this. One thing you might try is to run your (rope) rode aft to a primary winch and motor ahead gently and use the winch to retrieve the rode from a position near the helm - but then you've got this mess of rode to clear up afterwards. (and if it drops over the side at any point you may have real problems...) The other issue here is that that only deals with the rope section and a small part of the chain.. but it might get you clear enough to slowly motor yourself clear before clearing up the deck...
I would say, short scope (near vertical) by hand, break out as necessary, and then let the boat motor slowly on autopilot while you finish the job, keeping an eye out for obstacles as you go.
Normally I'll retrieve the anchor, let the boat drift while I secure the anchor and close the locker then mosey aft and head on out.. fortunately most of our anchorages here in BC are not usually subject to strong winds.
I have on occasion, started the engine, kept it at idle speed put it forward on autopilot and gone forward to retrieve the anchor. If it's windy enough the boat will creep forward slowly enough for me to get the anchor up out of the water, or at least cut the wind resistance down enough for me to pull toward the anchor. I recognize the potential hazard of doing this. I usually anchor in water that's 20 ft. or less.. and the boat is 34 ft...once the anchor is free, I can retrieve the last 20 or so ft ( chain) pretty quickly.
Raise your main sail with a reef in it. Keep it flat and sheeted in tight. Get up on the bow, sit down and wedge your feet in good, as the the boat sail's up on the anchor pull in the chain, when it's about to tack, take a turn, when it slack's pull some more. One link at a time, you'll get it up. Patience!!!
This is one subject I actually have some experience in. Your comment about anticipating what may happen is right on. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your present comfort for comfort in the AM and departure. When it is really bouncy you can work the rode like reeling in a big fish. As the bow drops pull in and snub. It does not have to be a complete knot just a turn will usually help take the load. Repeat and keep your fingers clear. A Sampson post really helps with this. Unless sailing of the hook in a open anchorage I have the engine running and warm. I often use it to pull the anchor after getting directly above but I drop it into neutral before going forward. You have to be fast and the priority is to get back to the helm and get control of your boat. Dan S/V Marian Claire
I always sit down to raise anchor and I have a chain stopper to hold the chain when I am reaching for more.
Not something I have practiced but perhaps a trip line on the anchor, motor up to that and get the anchor up and then bring in the rhode and chain quickly. Let me know how it goes.
"I've been raising 100' of 5/8 chain and a 45 pound Danforth by hand "
Whoa! At 3.7 lbs per foot of chain and 45 lbs of anchor you're pulling up over 400 lbs by hand (if you're in 16 fathoms of water), my hat's off to you. How's the back?
I've done what Tempest described on our last boat, using the engine and autopilot to motor slowly forward while pulling like crazy on the bow before the wind overpowers the ability of the autopilot to keep the bow into wind (usually after the anchor is off the bottom). Those are the times when a remote control for a windlass in the cockpit would be pretty nice.

A riotous spank-fuelled happening: An evening of surreal hilarity and beautiful women...
Self-harm has never been so spankingly scintillating at God Spank The Queen, an event hosted at our Flagship store in Covent Garden last Thursday 21st.
Fetish artist Bert Gilbert gathered together her company of Bottom Blushers and her wildly macabre and erotic handmade spanking instruments and held court in our stores window. The night was hosted by the infamous comedy duo, Robin and Partridge, featuring the equally infamous spanking post run by the beautiful handmaidens Santa Gasolina and Kink Inka's Marilyn Rose.
Unsuspecting passersby were tempted into receiving a good going over with the strangely humorous yet titillating replicas of human hands. Some excitable persons received their dues by opting for a double spank, with a run up!
House of Blueeyes designer was there and enjoyed his time at the gallows so much he insisted that both handmaidens give him repeated floggings and hogged the spanking post for a full 10 minutes... the cheek of it!
On the night, Bert showcased 2 designs: a life size spanker, 'The Bottom Blusher' and a hand bag sized design, 'The Little Slapper' for spankers on the go! Whether you opt for the cupped or splayed hand, tattooed or plain, you are in for a great spank, as the soft leather caresses your bottom leaving a perfect hand shaped mark. These hand shaped spanking devices, have been commissioned by Sam Roddick and recently also by the singer Marilyn Manson and are now available to purchase the store.

NEW YORK, Friday—I think it might be well for me to try to explain two things that seem to be rather puzzling. I have been asked about them after several speeches.
The first question nearly always is: When 1955 comes around and there is a revision of the Charter of the United Nations do you think the veto should be abolished?
This, of course, will be one of the big questions of the day and it is going to be a difficult one for anyone to decide. When the Charter was written all of the great nations were anxious to have the veto in the Security Council. But this veto power has been so misused by the Soviets that it has been difficult to function at times in the Security Council.
I think there were some people, even among the great powers, who felt that if the veto could be abolished it might help matters along. In the meantime, to get around the veto in the Security Council, it is always possible to bring up a matter in the General Assembly if the Security Council is no longer dealing with it.
Whether in 1955 it will be decided by the present Administration that it would be better to go on using this device or to make a change will depend, of course, on the best judgement of those who are handling matters at that time in the U.N. and in the State Department.
There have been times when I thought it would be better to give up the veto, but at such moments I have always recognized that it is a matter that must be examined and considered from every point of view.
The other question I am most often asked is whether I advocate clemency for the Rosenbergs.
I not only do not advocate clemency but think only the President and his legal advisers could reach any kind of sound judgement in this matter.
It is true that we never executed anyone in time of peace on the charge of treason. Some, however, feel that we are not enjoying peace at present and I am not sure that there is not something to be said for that point of view. While we may not be fighting World War III, we certainly have plenty of small wars going on in different parts of the world, including the war in Korea in which we are a major partner.
All these things should be taken into consideration by the proper authorities. There is no reason for meetings to be held or for petitions to be signed. The case is being given complete and careful consideration and I feel quite sure there is no need for concern on the part of people who can know very little about the details.
I had a delightful luncheon on Thursday with the members of the Young Republican Club on the subject of the attacks on the U.N. I thought at first they must have invited me by mistake and was very glad to learn it was not a mistake!

A chain of popular kids party venues has gone under, leaving parents out of pocket and little girls in tears.
Auckland 7-year-old Molly Arthur had been looking forward to her princess party at Club Girly Girlz in Albany for weeks. Mum Jayne Arthur had paid a deposit on the $400 party, which included food and a pampering session for her daughter and 10 friends. When the group arrived for the party last Sunday, they found an empty shop and a locked door.
"I was standing there in the carpark with 11 very disappointed girls, the birthday cake in the car and nowhere to have a party." Arthur then paid for the girls to go to a Chipmunks playground.
Later that day, a group of 13 girls arrived to celebrate Yong-Hill Yu's 7th birthday. Yong-Hill's mother, Young Park, rang other stores before sending the children home.
"I had paid $175 deposit and there was no phone call, no email, no text to cancel the party," Park said.
"The girls were very upset, they were supposed to have the deluxe party but now we will have it at home later."
The owners, Auckland businesswoman Catherine Mary Louise Casey and husband David Gregor Casey, were not available to comment. The company went into liquidation on August 28. About 50 creditors are owed more than $80,000.
It is understood that staff called parents to cancel party bookings but were unable to reach everyone.
Liquidator Paul Vlasic, at Rodgers Reidy, said 30 parents had reported cancelled parties.
Gary Marshall, the owner of the one surviving Club Girly Girlz store in Christchurch, said he was trying to stay open.
"We are disappointed that just months after we signed up to what we were told was a promising company, we are fighting to keep our business going," Marshall said.
Catherine Casey's other business, Apparel House, which supplied garments for major events such as the Rugby World Cup, went into receivership in July.

Shooting of car dealer bears signs of targeted killing
Page Tools
A car dealer was shot dead in the office of his new dealership in Sydney's south-west yesterday in an attack that bore the hallmarks of a targeted killing.
The wife of Franco Mayer discovered her husband had been killed when she arrived at the dealership in Woodville Road, Chester Hill, just after midday and was prevented from entering by police who had cordoned off the area. The woman slumped distraught onto a fence before being ushered away to Bankstown police station.
Two hours earlier her 50-year-old husband, the father of their teenage daughter, had been shot repeatedly in the head while sitting behind his desk.
Police said the Croatian-born Mr Mayer, who was also known as Frank, had opened his dealership, Quality Car Wholesalers, last month.
Before that his business had operated for about two years under the same name at Bossley Park until it was deregistered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for 16 months for failing to provide documents under the Corporations Act. On May 3 the commission allowed Mr Mayer to resume trading with the same name.
The business, with 28 vehicles for sale comprising mainly second hand or repossessed Porsches, BMWs and Mercedes, had begun trading properly two weeks ago.
The Bankstown Local Area Commander, Superintendent Mick Plotecki, said police would examine Mr Mayer's financial dealings. He said Mr Mayer, of Cabramatta, did not appear to be the victim of a robbery, or a botched attempted robbery.
"He has been shot numerous times. That is all we are saying until we get the results of a post mortem examination. It does not appear to be a robbery."
Superintendent Plotecki said Mr Mayer was found dead by the only employee at the dealership. The employee had been in the toilet at the time of the attack.
Darren McDonald, from the nearby Auto Super Detailing car service centre, was among those from nearby businesses to run to the scene.
Mr McDonald said he was working at the back of his business and, despite the sound of heavy traffic, heard what he thought were four gunshots.
Superintendent Plotecki said police had a description of a man seen running from the car yard. Homicide detectives have joined the investigation.

|Report: Celtics 'deep in discussions' about trading Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers to Clippers
|06.15.13 at 4:57 pm ET
The Celtics and Clippers are "deep in discussions" about a trade that would send coach Doc Rivers and surefire Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles, according to Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowksi.
Garnett would waive his no-trade clause to join Rivers in L.A., according to the report, but the C's insistence on acquiring Eric Bledsoe in addition to the current Clippers package of DeAndre Jordan and a pair of first-round draft picks could be the last remaining hurdle of a blockbuster deal.
A swap of Garnett for Jordan and Bledsoe works under the salary cap, and the draft picks would reportedly be enough to entice the Celtics into allowing Rivers to walk from the three years and $21 million remaining on his contract and take assistant coach Tyronn Lue with him to Los Angeles.
On Saturday, Rivers and Chris Paul may discuss the All-Star point guard's plan to re-sign with the Clippers should Garnett join him, Wojnarowski reported, but both the Celtics and their coach are willing to walk away should the deal not be finalized in the next couple days.
|Chris Mannix on Mustard & Johnson: Celtics should do 'exactly what [Danny Ainge] has been doing'
|05.04.13 at 3:09 pm ET
With the future of the Celtics now up in the air after the six-game first-round playoff loss to the Knicks, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, in an interview on WEEI's Mustard & Johnson show, suggested that the team should proceed in precisely the fashion in which president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has operated for some time. Mannix noted that Ainge actively explored the possibility of dealing longtime mainstays Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett leading up to this season's trade deadline, and suggested that the Celtics should again explore the market for the duo this offseason — while remaining comfortable with the notion of bringing them back if the team is unsatisfied with the return.
"I don't think it would be [financially] difficult to trade Pierce if you wanted to. Boston was motivated to do it the last couple years. Leading up to the trade deadline, they spoke to Brooklyn, they spoke to Atlanta, they spoke to Dallas. They were actively looking to deal Paul Pierce," said Mannix. "They had conversations with the Clippers about Kevin Garnett and were trying to figure out a way to get a deal done for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe. Look, they were trying to make some moves with these two guys. Boston's issue wasn't financial. It was that they wanted a lot in return. I remember talking to some people in the Nets organization about how much Boston wanted in return. It was a combination of draft picks and young talent.
"I don't think it's going to be a financial issue for the Celtics to trade either one of those players if they're motivated to. It's just how much less they're willing to take back in return.
"I would do exactly what Danny's been doing to this point," added Mannix. "If you can trade one of them and get a lot in return, get something that you know is going to help reboot your franchise, do it. If not, hold onto them and just play this thing out, wait for their contracts to expire and play with the flexibility then."
Mannix noted that the avenues to upgrading the Celtics roster are limited this offseason, particularly in terms of free agents. Read the rest of this entry »
|Chris Mannix on M&M: 'More likely than not, the core of this [Celtics] team stays together'
|02.20.13 at 1:48 pm ET
Sports Illustrated NBA writer Chris Mannix joined Mut & Merloni on Wednesday, one day before the NBA trade deadline, to discuss rumors surrounding the Celtics. Mannix said the Celtics would be wise to do the deal reportedly discussed with the Clippers, but he's not expecting it to happen.
"Boston was making a lot of those calls about [Kevin] Garnett to the Clippers," Mannix said. "And the interest in the Clippers, I can tell you, it's divided out there among the organization. The coaching staff, they want Kevin Garnett, because they want to win now. '¦ Whereas the front office, I can tell you this, they're not all that inclined to give up Eric Bledsoe, who is a potential 10-year starter in this league, and DeAndre Jordan, a sure-fire starter right now, for Kevin Garnett, who could potentially only be giving you a couple more months. Who knows what Kevin Garnett's future is going to hold? To me, he's always been on a series of one-year contracts.
"I think at the end of the day, when you throw in the no-trade clause that Kevin has, and you consider the fact that I have not heard a heck of a lot of significant interest surrounding Paul Pierce, I think more likely than not, the core of this team stays together."
A report Tuesday night had the Clippers pulling out of trade talks. Mannix said he expects Celtics boss Danny Ainge would follow through if the deal is resuscitated.
"I think if the deal is there, he makes it," Mannix said. "If he can get Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan for Kevin Garnett, you jump at it. I've heard some criticisms of this deal from the Boston side; I don't get it. Has anyone not been watching Eric Bledsoe? As really the fourth guard on this Clippers team — third, I guess, when [Chauncey] Billups is injured — but really, he's done a lot of things."
Added Mannix: "You're dealing with potential right now, because he hasn't gotten the consistent minutes at the point guard spot because Chris Paul has been there for a couple of years now. But Eric Bledsoe is a guy that could potentially take over as a starting point guard for a team right away, and be an effective guy, be a guy that can score 15 points per game and give you seven, eight assists. Look at the way he's played this year: He's up to about 10 points per game. But more importantly, his field goal percentage is in the mid-40s right now, his 3-point percentage is in the low 30s. This is a guy that's been improving every single year. So I think he's a guy you would want to get.
"Same thing with DeAndre Jordan, who admittedly is a little bit overpaid, because Golden State threw that massive contract at him last year. But he's someone that can be a starting center on your team for the next decade.
"And when you make a deal like that, all of a sudden there can be a domino effect. Now you can think about dealing Rajon Rondo next year, when he becomes healthy, because you have Eric Bledsoe already at the starter's spot. You can trade Rondo for some starting quality pieces or some draft picks, and all of a sudden an old, aging team could suddenly be a fast, rebuilding team on the fly. I think that's the way it would turn out."
|Report: Clippers put Kevin Garnett trade talks with Celtics on hold
|02.19.13 at 10:46 pm ET
According to Yahoo! Sports, the Clippers have halted talks with the Celtics regarding a deal that would send Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles and DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe to Boston.
The report states that the Celtics are "eager to continue the conversation on the deal," but it is unclear if the Clippers will move forward with any trade unless star point guard Chris Paul pushes Los Angeles to complete such a transaction.
The Celtics also reportedly won't consider any other combination of players for Garnett, focusing solely on Jordan and Bledsoe.
Sources told Yahoo! Sports that if the Celtics do trade Garnett, they would also move Paul Pierce, with the report suggesting the Celts captain might be included in a deal for Atlanta's Josh Smith.

Yahoo! Sports NBA writer Marc Spears checked in with Dennis & Callahan on Tuesday to discuss the rumors of a trade between the Celtics and Clippers, and the Celtics' interest in Hawks forward Josh Smith.
With Thursday's trade deadline fast approaching, rumors continue to swirl that the Celtics and Clippers are discussing a deal that would send Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe.
"I think the Clippers want it done more so than Boston," Spears said. "This is the first time we've ever talked about the Clippers having a championship shot. I think they realize that they're missing just a little something to get them over that hump with Oklahoma City and with San Antonio. And who better to get them there than Kevin Garnett?
"I was there [at All-Star Weekend] when Kevin said no, no circumstance, nothing. But I really believe if Danny [Ainge] came up to him and said, 'Hey, this is something we would like to do; this is better for our future,' knowing Garnett's pride, I think he would probably change his mind. I know he doesn't want to be somewhere where they'd rather have something else."
Jordan is having a solid fourth season (9.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg) and Bledsoe, while not a starter, also is having a good year (9.6 ppg, 3.3 apg).
"DeAndre Jordan I think is a better center than [he's] getting credit for," Spears said. "He's really really retooled his offensive game, gotten better in the post, but the problem is everybody on the Clippers likes to shoot. … I think he could be one of the NBA's elite centers, he's just not given a chance.
"Bledsoe is very very talented, very athletic. I don't know that acquiring him certainly means that [Rajon] Rondo is gone. He and Chris Paul play a lot together, so I can't see why him and Rondo can't play a lot together. But I know Bledsoe is at a point in his career, too, where he wants to start, so that's where I think it gets kind of tricky."
It appears that the trade could benefit both clubs. It would give the Celtics a quality starting center and a young point guard, while the Clippers would get a player with championship experience who still is playing good basketball at the age of 36. KG has stated numerous times, though, that he wants to finish his career with the Celtics.
'I know the Clippers want to do this, I know they want to," Spears said, adding: "This is an opportunity for the Clippers to finally get something. The window with Garnett obviously is about two years, but they've never been here and I think their owner might be in the mentality now of just 'Let's go for it. I've saved money for all these years with these bad teams, I might as well do something for once.' So I think they're open to doing something big.'
|Trade rumor: Celtics, Clippers talk Kevin Garnett for Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan
|02.16.13 at 9:24 am ET
Now that you've digested the unlikelihood of a Rajon Rondo for Dwight Howard trade between the Celtics and Lakers, wrap your head around this one: The Kevin Garnett to the Clippers rumor is back and bigger than ever.
Speculation first found legs when the Celtics hosted the Clips on Feb. 3, but multiple reports shot the rumor down for a variety of reasons. Now, reputable Yahoo! Sports columnists Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears are reporting the two teams are discussing a deal that would bring Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan to Boston in exchange for Garnett.
Members of both organizations appear reluctant to make the trade, Wojnarowski and Spears reported. While Garnett might make the Clippers a contender this season, they would be parting ways with a 23-year-old star point guard in the making and a still developing 24-year-old center.
Meanwhile, besides the fact Garnett remains the heart and soul of the Celtics franchise, team president Danny Ainge would have to convince KG to waive his no-trade clause, although the C's hope a move close to his home in Malibu and a chance to join longtime friend Chauncey Billups might assuage the 36-year-old All-Star's concerns, according to the report.
|Celtics free-agent options at center
|06.27.11 at 6:46 pm ET
Sure, the NBA is on the precipice of a July 1 lockout, but we can still examine what options will be available to the Celtics at each position once the salary cap landscape is determined (God knows when). We'll start with the C's biggest need: Centers.
The Celtics started the 2010-11 season with four centers on the roster (Kendrick Perkins, Shaquille O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal and Semih Erden) along with sometimes center Glen Davis. Now, a year later, only JO remains from that list. While Big Baby remains an option depending on his value on the open market, the C's still need at least one if not two more guys who can play the five.
The Celtics have six players under contract in 2011-12 for a combined $64.3 million (Kevin Garnett, $21.2; Paul Pierce, $15.33; Ray Allen, $10; Rajon Rondo, $10; Jermaine O'Neal, $6.23; Avery Bradley, $1.53), and Jeff Green is due at least another $5.91 million this offseason. That leaves little wiggle room for Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, no matter how the collective bargaining agreement shakes out.
As a result, don't expect any big-name free agents. So, let's start by crossing Nene (early termination option), Marc Gasol ($4.5 million qualifying offer) and Tyson Chandler (unrestricted) off the list of potential targets. While any of those three would be a fantastic fit on the 2011-12 Celtics (assuming, of course, there's a 2011-12 season in the NBA), they're all out of their league.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the options that should be available to the Celtics at center, separating the current free-agent players into four categories '¦

Removing clutch from my Craftsman Trimmer
My 25cc 2 cycle power head for a convertible string trimmer has a bd clutch and I do not know how to remove it.
I have a new clutch but cannot remove the old one to replace.
Does anyone know how to remove the clutch?
We need more information than this - specifically, brand and model number for starters.
Craftsman Trimmer power head clutch removal
Thanks for replying.
The brand is Sears Craftsman, model is the Model316711170.
It has speed start but I do not use.
I runs fine but the the head does not spin.
I removed the clutch cover and the clutch components fell out.
There is 2 1/4 circle plates and 2 springs holding them in the clutch housing.
I have another clutch (from another trimmer head) but I cannot remove the defective clutch.
The parts diagram does not show an screw or bolt that hold the clutch in place.
There is some give un and down but I don't want to break anything by forcing it.
I can email a picture of the assembly and the new clutch components if you want.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Alfred Gregory
I'm going to take a semi-educated guess here, and say that the centrifugal drive part of the clutch is screwed on to the engine crank shaft. As you face it, it probably needs to be turned counter-clockwise to loosen and remove it. I do not know how you will keep the shaft from turning, while loosening the centrifugal clutch.
Good luck.
Replacing clutch in Craftsman trimmer
I removed the clutch using a torx driver. A torx screw held the clutch main piece in place.
Doc Hicks said it might just twist off, and that got me checking for the screw. Since the torx screw was deep inside the clutch center, the screw was not readily visible.
I bought a set of the torx drivers and it ended up being a #8 torx driver that removed the screw. This allowed me to replace the clutch and now the trimmer works great.
Thanks for the help Doc.
Are you back in business with the trimmer?
ATrimmer repair
Yes, the trimmer works perfect.
The springs in the old clutch were bad and stretched.
Thanks again!

Do you have a plan for the zombie apocalypse? Maybe you should start by learning a little bit about the science of the zombie brain. There's a new novel out, The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse that tackles just that.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Zombies might be fictional, but the novel was written by a real doctor, Steven Schlozman, a child psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School. According to him, zombie stories are a perfect for us to look at the spread of pandemics and effects of contagious disease.
The Zombie Autopsies (which I haven't read yet but will be adding to my list post-haste) is written as the journal of a neuroscientist studying zombies while infected by "ataxic neurodegenerative satiety deficiency syndrome" ("zombie disease") himself. Not only that, 2/3 of the world has already been infected, and it's up to him to get to the disease before it gets to him.

Polymer physics has a rich tradition spanning nearly two centuries. Recently however, the development of DNA single molecule fluorescence microscopy coupled with ever increasing computational power has opened the door to molecular level understanding of polymer physics,
resolving old disputes and uncovering new interesting phenomena. In this work, we use a combination of theoretical and numerical predictions and single molecule fluorescence microscopy to study the behavior of polymers tethered to surfaces.
Experiments of tethered lambda-phage DNA in shear flow are presented for the first time in the flow-gradient plane. Successful tethering surface chemistry was achieved with the aide of contact angle and ellipsometry measurements. Brownian dynamics simulations of multiple polymer models - dynamic and equilibrium Kratky-Porod chains as well as bead-spring chains - were constructed and compared with analytical and experimental results. Both simulations and experiments display cyclic dynamics - where the polymer continuously diffuses away from the wall, subsequently stretches out, is then pulled back towards the wall, and finally recoils - and can be quantified through extension, distance from the wall, orientation angle correlations and power spectral densities. Cyclic dynamics occur for intermediate flow strengths, where interplay between diffusion perpendicular to the wall and flow parallel to the wall is greatest.

Registration open for Brainerd Polar Bear Plunge
■ Plan for safe and sober rides
Added DWI patrols out in December
To identify and arrest impaired drivers and encourage motorists to make safe decisions, the Minnesota State Patrol will participate in the annual December drunken driving enforcement wave along with officers and deputies from about 400 other Minnesota law enforcement agencies.
"We all need to work together to make a strong traffic safety culture in Minnesota," said Minnesota State Patrol Sgt. Curt S. Mowers, in a news release. "One way to do that is to make impaired driving socially unacceptable."
Holiday parties and special local events in regions around the state will be targeted. Specific dates and times for the project will be ongoing the entire month of December.
In 2011, Minnesota recorded 136 alcohol-related traffic deaths — accounting for 37 percent of all traffic deaths — matching historical trends.
Alcohol-related crashes, injuries and fatalities continue to be a serious problem in Minnesota, the state patrol reported. Overall, males and young adults are overrepresented in alcohol-related crashes and account for a disproportionate share of fatalities.
Aside from the injuries and deaths, penalties for drunken driving may range from hundreds to thousands of dollars-worth of fines, loss of driver license, loss of license plates and even the individual's vehicle.
"We strongly encourage drivers to plan ahead not to drink and drive instead of causing needless tragedies or facing arrest," said State Patrol Lt. Jason Hanson. "We also want everyone to support this project by reporting impaired drivers."
The state patrol is asking everyone to plan ahead not to drink and drive and to report those drivers who are believed to be driving impaired.
DWI enforcement and education is a component of the state's core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD).
TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.
Law enforcement agencies in the Crow Wing County area working this project include: Minnesota State Patrol troopers, Crow Wing County deputies, and officers from the police departments of Brainerd, Baxter, Nisswa, Pequot Lakes, Deerwood, Emily, Crosby, Cuyuna, Crosslake and Breezy Point. The Crow Wing County Passenger Safety Coalition strongly supports all of these enforcement efforts.

■ Registration open for
Brainerd Polar Bear Plunge
Registration is now open for the 2013 Brainerd Polar Bear Plunge, presented by Minnesota law enforcement to benefit Special Olympics Minnesota. The Brainerd plunge will be conducted at 1 p.m. March 2 at Breezy Point Resort.
Plungers define what it means to be "freezin' for a reason" by raising funds to jump into Minnesota's frigid waters. The funds raised benefit more than 7,100 Special Olympics Minnesota athletes as they train, compete and transform themselves, their communities and the world.
The plunge will be at Breezy Point Resort, 9252 Breezy Point Drive in Breezy Point. Check-in will be at the plunge site. In 2012, nearly 380 people took the plunge in the Brainerd area and raised approximately $75,000 in support of Special Olympics Minnesota.
Interested persons may register online at plungemn.org. Participants may plunge as individuals or in teams. They are also encouraged to wear unique and outrageous costumes on plunge day. Participants are asked to recruit donors to pledge to their plunge. Each participant must raise a minimum of $75. The average plunger raised $198 in 2012. Plungers should check-in on plunge day and bring their pledges with them. Shoes and towels are also required.
For more information or to register, visit plungemn.org or email email@example.com.
