this is not a feedback, but a question.. if i dont follow the nutrition diet will it still work? i am thin and in need to boost my butt and avoid having a tummy. i dont need to lose weight just build muscle.
Butt Bible Diet Plan / Workout Calendar Butt bible.com is no longer available online and the same with exercise tv. I just bought the DVD and have no access to diet plan. Anyone have copies?
Excellent workout! It really works. I have tried different exercices, but this really works. You see the difference in your body on the third week. Tri it! you won't regret it.
I found the butt bible on demand & i love it! I realized it wasnt going to be on demand any longer so i quickly ordered my butt bible dvds. I have to say i will stick with this program forever because i love my results.
This workout is so easy to follow and I started seeing results almost immediately. It takes some will power to stick with such a stringent workout but its totally worth it!
I love the burn..I feel the results ...and it has improved my self esteem
I did so many different exercise for years and gave up very quick, I got this program and have being doing it for the last two months, lost 20 pounds, shape a lot and even when I feel the pain I can't stop, Pauline has a way to keep you motivated and want to do it all. Still not were I want to be but truly on the way. Thanks Pauline
This is by far the most effective, fast and fun workout for "trouble zones" that I have found. I bought it the moment I completed the first week and am having my friends order copies as they watch my transformation. It is amazing. Basic techniques, minimal rest time, effective workout. This is a MUST HAVE for any person with little to no time for working out and who doesn't want to spend a load on a gym membership.
I did my first butt bible workout upper level 1 and wow I have to say it really made my muscles burn. I didnt think I would get throw the whole workout but it was amazing to feel the burn. I would recommend this workout to all my friends.
This workout is awesome!!! It's my favorite one. I love that I'm can feel the pain. I know it's doing the job. She makes it fun.
super good! I am doing it every day! and I can feel the burn! love it!
awesome workout!!! This workout has become a favorite!!! Pauline is fantastic. We want more Pauline! She makes working out FUN and effective!!!!

Even the Vatican weighed in, condemning the case as proof of our "throwaway culture."
The problem, though, is that the throwaway jokes work better than the obvious punchlines.

HE 2006 - Part 1
Finally... like a long wait for that cool drink of water, Stereophile returns to LA for an HE show. What took so long!? Nice for us as we live a relatively easy 20 minute drive away in the way cooler city of Long Beach. Hey, have the show here next time, now that would be even better. Better restaurants, better hotels, better parking, etc.
Anyhow I would like to thank John Atkinson and Lucette Nicoll for putting on such a great show. Easy to navigate, nice press room, and true hospitality. Kudos.
So on to the show.
The very cool looking and very nice sounding Vivid K-1 ($12k) loudspeakers in the Musical Surrounding room.
Just about anything you would want in a turntable was offered by Clearaudio in the Musical Surrounding room. Nice stuff.
The new-ish Pathos Endorphin CD player... tubes and all ($8K).
The Aesthetic Calypso and Rhea tube line and phono stages... in black! Go Jim and Garth. This room also featured Running Springs AC conditioning, Kubala-Sosna Emotion cables, Harmonic Resolution racks and stands, and Pathos electronics. All of which contributed to a very nice sounding room...
Tyll Hertsens of HeadRoom showing off the statement balanced Max preamp-amp. A truly nice guy. His enthusiasm is second to none. Just what the industry needs more of by the way...
This sounded very good playing the him cut "Sea Level" form the CD new frontiers.
HeadRoom offered a series of set-ups based on various head-amp units and phones allowing the attendee to get a real taste of what they have to offer.
The other side of the room offered about the same gear and phones PLUS people from HeadRoom to explain the nuts-n-bolts of what is best for what. Great use of the show to maximize what they are all about.
Joe Wojcieohowski, the HeadRoom head honcho-engineer with the Max unit...
and the guts of the Max ($4k)... can be used as a preamp as well... cooooool he says. Send one our way.
Ivy Scull of HeadRoom explaining just about everything one needs to know about everything HeadRoom can offer you. Another great person in audio... and a woman too! Now that is refreshing!
Not a woman, but still a great person in audio, we found Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image (another nice guy) showing off Messenger, Lector, and more...
...like the big LeGrange Brinkmann table.
Steve Hoffman taking it all in... oh and Carol in the foreground enjoying the Nat King Cole LP spinning its magic.
The Wavestream V-8 amplifiers (coolest looking stuff around)...
...powering the ESP Concert Grand loudspeakers. Very rich and analog-ishly smooth. Listening position was crucial as anywhere other that center rows one and two resulted in too much bass making the sound overly rich and euphonic.
The Usher room showing off the extremely affordable speakers and electronics. Nice fit and finish for reasonable cash... sound to match as well.
Pioneer showed off their new S-1EX loudspeaker with Bel Canto electronics and Nordost cabling. At $9k these are a serious entry product into the high-end. Designed around a concentric tweeter-midrange with two ported woofers, these guys rocked. No, this system rocked.
A close-up of the 1-3/8 in. beryllium tweeter and 5-1/2 in. magnesium midrange CST driver used in the Pioneer S-1EX loudspeaker.
Lamm, Wilson, Kubala-Sosna, and Metronome (tmh Audio - Jim Ricketts) showed together.
The Gaia turntable from Metronome...
The Metronome Kalista CD transport...
...more Metronome and Lamm electronics. Very good stuff and it sounded very nice too.
Richard Rives showing us the plans for PFO writer Mike Lavignes' room...
Kimber's static display had it all...
...in the same room with Sennheiser. Lots to try out so one can hear what is what...
The Totem room showed that making a room into a fantasy world is rather easy... which looked like something out of the deep frontier. Totem offered the attendee BIG sound from small speakers. Make that BIG and VERY NICE sound from small speakers. Steve Lefkowicz hanging out with Vince.
Sim Audio and Dynaudio showed together. Nice stuff. Big and bold.
And look what the cat drug in... Danny Kaey (crowding out Steve Lefkowicz) hanging out with Marchisottos of Nola in the Elite Audio room. Great people of audio!
The Pegasus loudspeakers from Nola... really good stuff.
The mbl room sounded a bit too big this time. Always impressed us at CES with their sheer brute force... here.. a bit too much for the room.
Still some of the coolest looking stuff around. Assuming you go for that sci-fi glam look. And black on black... so easy to shoot with digital!

Walkers, joggers and bikers, know just how many miles they've traveled on a scneic portion of the Lehigh Canal Park towpath thanks to Eagle Scout Justin Wingert, a member of Boy Scout Troop, 82, Lehighton.
Wingert, son of Scot and Judy Wingert, chose to design, build and install six markers on the Lehigh Canal from Weissport to Jim Thorpe. The markers are positioned each mile and half mile.
A commemorative sign for the Weissport pavilion was also made in memory of Dr. and Mrs. Wlliam Feldbaumer, who donated the funds for the pavilion. Other funds for the overall project were donated by Wingert's family and friends.
The pavilion at Weissport is a pleasant place to rest in the shade, eat a snack at the picnic table underneath the roof or meet up with friend at the trailhead.
When Wingert, a junior at Lehighton Area High School, decided to put the mile markers on the towpath, he didn't chose a simple design. While working on his project, he spent many hours designing, cutting out the design and painting the mile markers which included silhouettes of a mule. He selected the mule to be part of his project because the mule was the chosen animal to pull the coal barges to market during the historic early period of the canal.
Mules were the animal of choice to pull the barges because they were considered more patient, sure-footed, hardy, long-lived than horses and were considerably less obstinate, faster, and more intelligent than donkeys.
Fellow scout Tyler Helmer assisted Wingert with digging holes for the posts, which was done during a pouring rain. His father also helped in the project.
Wingert began scouting as a Tiger and joined Boy Scout Troop 82 in 2004. As a Boy Scout he earned 39 badges and is a member of Order of the Arrow, Witauchsoman Lodge, No. 44. He has held positions of Troop Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Scribe, O/A Representative, Quartermaster and Assistant Patrol Leader.
As a Cub Scout, he attained the Arrow of Light in 2004. As a member of Boy Scout Troop 82, he attained the Scout Rank, Tenderfoot Rank and Second Class Scout in 2004. In 2005, he earned First Class and Star Scout. During 2006, he attained Life Scout.
During his Scouting career, he spent 106 nights camping, 118 days hiking and compiled 197 hours of service. He also completed Scoutmaster Specific Training and Scoutmaster Outdoor Training.
Wingert is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lehighton, where he was presented the Eagle Scout Award during a Court of Honor held May 8.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Bonded by scars and a determination not only to survive, but to excel following career-threatening injuries, Jamal Anderson and Garrison Hearst will play on the same football field today for the first time in more than two years.
Falcons at 49ers
Today, 4:15 p.m., FOX
Together they are medical miracles -- Anderson recovering from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament and Hearst returning from a horrific ankle injury. The fact both will start today (4:15 p.m., Fox) when Atlanta faces San Francisco is a testament not to modern science but to old-fashioned determination.
Hearst, a product of the University of Georgia, was a running back with the San Francisco 49ers when his ankle crumbled into pieces in the first round of the NFC playoffs in 1998. Anderson then ripped his left knee ligament in the second regular season game in 1999.
Anderson's recovery took two years. He spent the 14 games of the 1999 season on the injured list and worked through pain during his return a year ago. Although he rushed for 1,000 yards, he admits his knee wasn't ready for the rigors of 16 games.
Hearst's recovery also took two years. He has been through four surgeries and will be playing his first game in more than two years today at 3Com Park.
How much both have returned to their former level of successes will have a lot to do with how much Atlanta and San Francisco are ready to bounce back from a season of 10 combined victories.
``The last time I played, Jerry Rice was on the field,'' Hearst said. ``Two years ago, we were in the playoffs. It's a different mentality when I came here: You expect to go to the Super Bowl. That's the first thing I heard when I came here. A lot of the guys here haven't heard that, because they weren't here (two years ago).''
When Hearst last played, Steve Young was quarterback and Jerry Rice was the team's to-go wide receiver. Young retired a year ago and Rice has since been released.
``I want to be better than I was before,'' Hearst said. ``You come back and see a whole different group. I hope that I can bring that playoff mentality back with me. Maybe that'll help.''
Two weeks ago, Hearst was in danger of being cut because the team didn't want to absorb his $1.2 million contract against the salary cap. He restructured his deal to include a base salary of only $477,000 with a chance to make up the rest of the money in incentives.
San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci said he plans to start Hearst today, but rookie Kevan Barlow also will get playing time.
``We are committed to developing him as a tailback,'' Mariucci said of the team's third-round draft pick. ``They'll share that duty. We're going to see a little running back by committee and we'll find out if it's worth a darn.''
There is no indecision on the Atlanta sidelines. Anderson will play unless the team gets too far behind or too far ahead.
Anderson got most of the work last year, but rookie Maurice Smith was worked into several games when it was apparent Anderson was struggling to get back on track. This year, Anderson insists he's fully recovered - physically and mentally.
``Last year, I wasn't as strong,'' he said. ``I couldn't finish the plays the way I normally finish plays. If you look at the (preseason) film, I'm definitely back to being the player I was before, in terms of explosiveness and my power and the things I'm able to do on the football field. I'm prepared for the season.''
The Falcons, who were 4-12 in 2000, have plans to work Michael Vick into the quarterback rotation in the same manner the 49ers want to acclimate Barlow to their offense.
``Chris Chandler is our starter,'' Atlanta coach Dan Reeves said. ``But Michael will play. He has the skill and ability to create problems for a defense. How much we will use him, and in what situations, I won't say.''
The Falcons will have several new players on offense. Todd McClure is the new center and rookie Kynan Forney will start at right guard. Michael Thompson and Travis Claridge, who shared starting roles at right tackle a year ago, will continue to alternate.
Tony Martin, Chandler's favorite deep receiver during their Super Bowl season in 1998, has returned and will alternate with Shawn Jefferson at split end.
The biggest change, however, will be in the middle of the defense. For the first time since 1988, Jessie Tuggle won't be in the starting lineup. He retired two weeks ago, and his spot will be taken by Keith Brooking. Henri Crockett will move to weak-side linebacker and Chris Draft will start at strong-side linebacker.
The first game is critical for both teams. Atlanta plays at San Francisco and at St. Louis in its first two games, while San Francisco plays Atlanta, at New Orleans, St. Louis and at the New York Jets in its first four games.

News and Rumors
Pirates Watched Jamie Moyer Pitch
News and Rumors
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Pittsburgh Pirates were one of the teams that have sent scouts to watch soon-to-be 49 year old left hander Jamie Moyer pitch. Moyer is recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in 2010, and which cost him the entire 2011 season. Rosenthal quoted scouts who said that Moyer looked just as good as he always has. The speculation was that he would probably fit best on a West Coast team.
I wouldn't really read much in to the Pirates being there unless we hear more on this. It's one thing to send a scout to watch a guy pitch. That's due diligence. It's another to hear a rumor that the team is talking with the pitcher, or made an offer, and I don't think we can get that from this....

Although I have driven on interstates since receiving my license - almost 40 years ago - I am developing terrible anxiety about driving on interstates. It is truly starting to impact my life.
It has been brewing for a couple of years, but was always manageable. Now, I am basically unable to get on the interstate without major panic and then I exit quickly.
Nothing has happened to bring this on such as an accident or witnessing something scary.
I have had increased general anxiety for the last year and also health anxiety. Perhaps this is the culmination?
If I am talking on the phone, it seems much better - as ironic as that seems. Doing something to distract me makes me feel safter. But, always talking is not possible. Long trips, early morning,etc. It is somewhat better with another adult in car. But not great.
I have to get a handle on this. I am facing a move and the thought of not being able to get around is terrifying to me.
It almost seems to have something to do with my eyes - like I don't know where to look or focus with all the visual stimulation of the freeway. It is as if my eyes want to close. My eyes seem fine - although perhaps a bit light sensitive. So, I don't think it is really a physical problem. I just don't know!!!
I have tried bach rememedies, etc. I would almost consider going on meds if it meant I can drive again.
It is mainly the interstate although sometimes I get nervous on windy two lane roads. Night driving is difficult for me due to light sensivity - although I am ok in familar areas.
I don't want to simply cope with the panic. I want to feel like myself with driving again!!!
If anyone has solved such a problems, please respond. I have seen programs one can purchase for driving anxiety - etc. I can see a cognitive behavior therapist - she says she can help, but wants to push meds.
I truly want to understand what is going on and hopefully solve this. As I said, I have driven in crazy traffic on busy interstates my whole like without a problem.
I don't think it is simply having children in the back seat. I used to be fine. My son is starting to notice and comment and I feel awful when a one hour trip takes us three on the back roads.
Thanks in advance for any replies. This is weighing heavily on me.
I wish I had more helpful information to give you! I think it is great that you are working on getting over your fears. The best advice I can give is to seek some counseling support. It is hard to tell if medication is needed, it may not be. Don't give up, try going a few more exits each time and building your self confidence up with positive thinking. If possible see if you can do this when your alone. Best of luck!!
One thing that helped me was chewing gum. I actually can't stand gum lol but somehow the chewing action was beneficial, maybe kind of the way talking on the phone helps (phone was also helpful to me)... Along the same lines, you could give yourself some distractions like audio books or loud music... Sometimes having the a/c blast or window open (even in the winter) helped me... Basically anything that was kind of stimulating, I guess, would prevent me from falling too far into an anxious state. Drinking water, too -- you can't hyperventilate or anything while you're drinking, plus again it provides a physical sensation...
Do you wear sunglasses to drive? I go through periods of light sensitivity and have a pair of sunglasses that fits over my regular glasses. And are you on any meds? Sometimes they can make you photosensitive.
If you can, try not to give in to the anxiety, because it will just give it more power over you. See if you can stay on the highway just a little bit longer, even if you're uncomfortable doing it. Are there any thoughts that go through your head when you get anxious?
The Sky is Falling, by Raenne Dumont (sp?) is a good self-help book for anxiety/phobias/etc.
I did take large doses of Ativan for years because that was the only way I could even make it through the day. I FAR prefer being med-free but if you get to the point that you can't function and can't take steps to learn coping techniques, than meds could be a short-term way to relieve the anxiety enough for therapy etc. to be effective.
This whole time I've experienced anxiety about driving, I thought I was alone. I'm so glad to know I'm not. I get nervous about driving on highways as well, and that's what I usually have to do in order to visit friends or family. It's very frustrating and I have never explained it to anyone but my husband and therapist because it feels like such an irrational fear. I think my fear stems from knowing several adults who died in car accidents while I was growing up, one killed by a drunk driver too. It has me very paranoid and panicky. Once I'm in the car it's not so bad, but I do grip the steering wheel really hard and get really nervous if I'm in anyone's blind spot or I see any reckless drivers. I fear that I'm not alert enough. Getting myself to even commit to plans with people and get into my car to drive there is the hardest part. So once I have tackled that, I seem to be okay and can distract myself. I wish I could say I have found a way to completely stop the anxiety, but I haven't. The only thing that helps is if I have gotten good sleep (rarely) and am in a completely rational mind and can stop my racing thoughts in their tracks. I have talked about it briefly in therapy but haven't had the time to really dedicate to working on it. After my baby is born and I'm done breastfeeding (a while into the future), I would consider going on an anxiolytic now. But I won't try certain other psych meds at this point because there were a few that dulled me out so bad that I actually almost got into car accidents because of them. I got confused at a flashing yellow light one time thinking it was going to turn red and stopped in the middle of a busy road with a semi truck quickly approaching behind me. I'm lucky he was able to go into the other lane at the last minute! Scary stuff.
Good luck to you! I would continue working in therapy and pinpoint where your fears are stemming from. That seems to always help me with other anxiety issues and PTSD I have, at least for a while.

There are two down trees here on my property alone – one about 40 feet and the other at least 50.

Battery powered tube headphone amp
2 Attachment(s)
Reading around, on headwize.com, and also wanting a amp of this sort, I have come up with this. Using a 1G4 tube, because of low voltage requirements, and because of a high Rp. I would like to develop this into an actual amp, while also keeping it as close to the original design as possible (e.g.: no extra parts). So please critique accordingly.
You need to have a cap at after the rca or else the input would be at -2volts.

As I've said before, I'm a principal in a smaller high school. We have always practiced lockdown drills, and I have empowered my staff to take actions other than cowering in darkened and locked rooms with their kids. That includes escaping the building and counterattacking if somebody enters their room. We have known since Columbine that hiding under tables isn't the answer.
After Columbine, law enforcement changed tactics to rapid entry teams, and if you talk to individual officers, they will tell you that it they arrive alone and hear continuing gunfire many will enter the building alone. Law enforcement has changed their response because what was being done wasn't effective. Schools need to change their response also.
Just yesterday, I attended training provided by DHS that covered school shooting preparation and response. Some of those in the class were teachers and principals, some were law enforcement. The instructor of course talked about restricting access points, lockdown, and barricading of doors. Unlike most training in the past, however, this instructor referred to the ALICE protocol, which includes ESCAPE as one option in response to school violence (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counterattack, Escape).
This was a step forward, but when the instructor recommended that at the sound of gunfire principals lock themselves in their office and make themselves small, some of us spoke up. The instructor dismissed the thought that principals would attack a gunman. I told him, I PLAN TO FIGHT! With whatever I have -- improvised weapons, hands, etc. The best weapon is, after all, your brain. I know my school well, and think I cold likely approach a shooter and have a fair chance of tackling them. The average school shooting is over before police can arrive -- we need to buy time for students to lockdown or escape. In almost every school, there are a few sheepdogs who have the fight mentality. Unarmed against a handgun or rifle, my fight may be short, but any delay or distraction of the shooter I can cause gives teachers and students time to escape, and puts the police that much closer.
Unfortunately, most school principals don't think tactically like those of us on this forum. I don't know how to change this, except to continue to do training and planning with them. The daily business of the school is learning and teaching -- it isn't realistic to make every principal a tactical expert, but we can incrementally increase their mental preparation and training.

Occipital, a company best known for an app that lets users take panoramic photos from their phone , is looking to get into hardware. On Tuesday, Occipital is announcing plans for Structure Sensor, a 3-D camera that brings Kinect-style depth sensing abilities to the iPad and other mobile devices. Attaching such a camera to a phone or tablet paves the way for use in other contexts, including object scanning and augmented reality. Although Occipital is showing off the sensor on Tuesday, it won't be ready for mainstream consumers until sometime in the middle of next year. The company is launching the product first for developers who order the device on Kickstarter . Doing so, says Occipital CEO Jeff Powers, will get the device into production quicker. "We really wanted to get feedback from the world," Powers told AllThingsD . "We wanted to also be the first to do this. There's something about being the first to bring the sensor." Getting a consumer-ready product with three or four fully functioning apps would have meant waiting another year or more. Kickstarter backers willing to pay $500 for a developer kit will get a hand-assembled beta version by this December, while those who pay $349 can get a developer unit around February. The Structure Sensor is designed to fit directly onto an iPad to link up with its camera, but uses Bluetooth so it could be connected with other phones and tablets. Backers who pay $349 get to choose either an iPad or non-iPad version, while those paying $379 or more will get both attachment options. The hope is that the developers will not only serve as early enthusiast customers, but also help create the killer apps that will make the Structure Sensor worth it for consumers. Occipital, which managed to cram PrimeSense's full-size sensor into a mobile device is likely to face significant competition in the market for mobile-compatible 3-D cameras. Intel talked at last week's developer conference about including 3-D cameras into future Ultrabooks , while imaging-sensor maker PrimeSense has its own Capri sensor that is designed to go into smaller devicesRead More
Q: Is it true that Parallels Access, for controlling a PC from an iPad, won't function on a computer running XP Pro? If so, is there another app with approximately the same functionality that will run on XP Pro? A: It is true that for Windows PCs, Parallels Access requires Windows 7 or Windows 8, so it won't work with XP, which is about 12 years old. As I noted in my column, there are other iPad apps that can remotely control a computer, but none that I have seen incorporate the iPad features and gestures the way Access does. Most make you try to emulate a tiny mouse pointer with your fingertips. However, if you can deal with that, there are some that will work with XP. One popular example is Splashtop 2. Q: Can photo files from a Windows PC be transferred to an iPad mini? A: Yes, you just install the Windows version of iTunes on your PC, connect your iPad to the PC, select the iPad from within iTunes, and then go to the Photos tab.Read More
Apple on Monday detailed a new program where owners of third-party iPhone, iPod and iPad adapters can trade their products in for an Apple charger for $10 — roughly half the typical price of a new Apple charger. "Recent reports have suggested that some counterfeit and third party adapters may not be designed properly and could result in safety issues," Apple said on a website announcing the program . "While not all third party adapters have an issue, we are announcing a USB Power Adapter Takeback Program to enable customers to acquire properly designed adapters." Although Apple has in the past had replacement programs when there have been issues with its own products, this appears to be the first time it has offered such a program for products made by others. The program is a global one, kicking off Aug. 9 in China and Aug. 16 in the U.S. and elsewhere. Customers will be able to go to any Apple retail store or authorized service provider and exchange one charger for every iPad, iPhone and iPod that they own. Users have to also bring in their iOS device to validate the serial number.Read More
Back in June, the Los Angeles Unified School District awarded Apple a $30 million contract to provide its students with iPads. Under its terms, the company will supply about 31,000 iPads to 47 LAUSD schools, each preloaded with a bunch of educational software. But evidently that's just the first phase of the program. According to an LAUSD representative, the nation's second-largest school district hopes to provide iPads to all 640,000 students by late 2014 . Which means it's going to buy a few hundred thousand more iPads over the next year — though it's not yet sure how it's going to do it. "We're hoping that we will get a lot of private donors," Mark Hovatter, chief facilities executive for LAUSD, told CITEworld. That's very good news for AppleRead More
Wall Street will get a chance to take Apple's financial pulse once again this afternoon when it reports earnings for its fiscal third quarter. And given the company's tempered guidance when it last reported financials , analysts aren't expecting all that much. Consensus estimates call for earnings per share of $7.34 on revenue of $35.18 billion. That's on the high end of Apple's guidance for the period: Revenue of between $33.5 billion to $35.5 billion. But on an EPS basis, it's down significantly from the $9.32 company reported for the same quarter a year ago. Given those tepid numbers, a lot of the focus this afternoon will likely fall on shipments of Apple's flagship products, the iPhone and the iPad. Wall Street consensus is that the company shipped about 26.5 million iPhones this quarter, with some analysts suggesting numbers far in excess of that. Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, for example, said last week that her supply-chain checks indicated iPhone shipments for the period of somewhere between 29 million and 32 million units . For the iPad, the Street expects shipments of about 18 millionRead More
"I don't think anybody has done a product that is the product that I see customers wanting. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon. Nobody has a product that lets you work and play that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any price point. This is a first-class tablet that people can enjoy and appreciate. It's a PC; it's a tablet. It's for play; it's for work. It's got a great price. That product doesn't exist today." – Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, October 2012 Yesterday, Microsoft announced a $900 million write-down to reflect unsold inventory of Surface RT , the tablet the company says consumers really want, but just never seem to buy. Today, it's touting the laggard device as best-of-breed in a new advertisement slagging Apple's iPad — a device that dominates the tablet market in which Microsoft is now hopelessly floundering. Yet another move to clear out Surface RT inventory in the face of lackluster demand for the tablet. But also an indication that Microsoft's leadership remains committed to Surface RT, despite a failure so impressively well realized. As Brian Hall, the general manager of Surface marketing, told ZDnet's Mary Jo Foley , the device just needs a little more word-of-mouth buzz to help it succeed. Said Hall, "We know we need a lot of Surface users to start the flywheel of people recommending it."Read More
The problem with most Web video startups is that you've seen them before. Another compilation of cheap clips posing as the next big cable channel. Another solution for non-existent "discovery" problems. Another "Instagram for video" that won't be. So at the very least, give TouchCast credit for novelty and ambition. The company imagines it can completely reinvent the way you watch Web video, by turning it into an hands-on, interactive experience.Read More
Two weeks after shipping the first beta of its new iOS 7 operating system, Apple has rolled out a second. And unlike its predecessor, this one is available for more than the iPhone and iPod touch. Uncrated Monday, iOS 7 beta 2 features support for the iPad and iPad mini and brings with it a handful of tweaks and improvements. Top among them, the return of the Voice Memo app, an overhauled version of Reminders and a new "male" option to for Siri's voice. 9to5mac has a more extensive list of refinements .Read More
Here's one school district that won't be availing itself of Microsoft's " Surface for education limited-time offer ": L.A. Unified. On Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) awarded Apple a $30 million contract to provide its students with iPads. The deal, which was approved in a 6-0 vote by the district's school board, will see Apple supplying about 35,000 iPads to 47 LAUSD schools at a cost of about $678 per device. That's higher than retail, but I'm told the devices are to be preloaded with an assortment of educational software prior to distribution — an additional expense. The deal is a huge win for Apple. LAUSD is the nation's second-largest school system, and its decision to award this contract to Apple, and Apple alone, is a hell of an endorsement — one that other school districts are certain to consider while mulling their own tablet deployments. Beyond that, it's further testament to the mind share iPad is gaining in education, and the speed with which it is gaining it.Read More
D: All Things Digital Apple's long product silence ended this morning at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference keynote with the debut of a number of new products, among them iOS 7, the latest iteration of the mobile operating on which the iPhone and iPad run. Unveiled by CEO Tim Cook and Craig Federighi is Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, the next generation OS is a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a "de-glitzed," flatter design, as we previously reported . "It's the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of iPhone," Cook said. iOS 7 appears a complete reimagining of the operating system. It features an entirely new color palette, new icons, new typography and a new structure as well. In a video introduction, that preceded the on-stage demo Apple SVP of Industrial Design Jony Ive — who was charged with overseeing all of the company's interface design last fall — described iOS 7 as an operating system defined by an "absence of clutter and ornamentation." "I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity, in clarity, in efficiency," Ive said "In many ways, we've tried to create an interface that is unobtrusive and deferential." Sounds great, what does it mean practically? Foremost, iOS 7 is a comprehensive end-to-end redesign of iOS, one that forgoes the skeuomorphic flourishes that called to mind real-world objects in previous iterations of the OS, in favor of a more elegant, spartan design language. But that redesign also extends deep into the operating system's innards. It's got all manner of functional layers, including a card-based multitasking system intended to help establish hierarchy and order among open apps and documents. Also on board: • a redesigned Notification Center • a new Control Center that offers users quick access to commonly used functions • a mobile version of Air Drop that allows document sharing between iOS devices and Macs. • an updated version of the mobile Safari browser with a smart search bar to enter URLs or search different engines. • new camera filters • a new Photos app that organizes pictures according to moments. Said Federighi, "Installing iOS 7 on your phone is like getting a whole new phone–but one that you know how to use." Developing …Read More

10 ways to save money on food
By Katy Wilkens, MS, RD
A colleague with teenagers in the house asked me recently how to save money on groceries and still eat healthy. Below is a list of ideas for feeding a large family without spending a fortune or compromising health. You don't have to give up money or flavor to eat well, healthy and low-salt.
1. Shop the food sales. Look for sale flyers, which usually appear in your local paper on Wednesdays. Or visit your favorite grocery store's website and sign up to get email notices of specials.
2. Buy food in season.
3. Use frozen vegetables. They're often a better buy and higher in nutritional value since they are picked at the height of the season. All those good vitamins are locked in during freezing.
4. Find a fruit market in your area. They often have better prices on local produce.
5. Use the slow cooker. You can use beans, tougher cuts of meat and other foods that take longer to cook. Because these items don't cook fast, they are usually cheaper. A slow cooker works all day, tenderizing meat and developing amazing flavors, while you are gone! Try the Chinese pork with spices, a favorite of my family's.
6. Make fast frozen meals. Use my husband's quick grilled meals trick—buy a variety of proteins, including tofu, and put them on the grill while you cook rice, potatoes and veggies. When the protein comes off the grill, pack single servings in plastic containers with a scoop of rice or potato and a handful of the veggies. Freeze the containers for easy meals later.
7. Try more vegetarian meals. They are always cheaper: try vegetarian lasagna, chili, spaghetti sauce, curried paneer, and fettuccine. Try more meals using eggs—
like a quiche, omelets, waffles, pancakes, crepes or French toast.
8. Recycle leftovers in different ways. Leftover rice can go in rice pudding, stir-fry or soup. Leftover dry bread is great for bread pudding, croutons for a salad, French toast, or a baked cheese strata casserole. Leftover potatoes can become hash browns or get added to soups or stews, while leftover mashed potatoes make great potato pancakes.
9. Find five or six fast-to-make meals that your family likes. Keep the ingredients on hand for these all the time, so you won't ever be tempted to pick up fast food. My family's "Quick 5" are: fettuccine, beef or chicken tacos, homemade pancakes, stir-fry (we use veggies, leftover rice and meat from other meals), and omelets made with whatever is in the fridge.
10. Make your own pizza! It is so fast, so easy, and so cheap! And everyone gets what they want. You can make what's considered an "extra large" pizza for under $4. Try this recipe. It takes less time to make pizza than to have someone deliver!

Now that the Fourth of July has come and gone, Major League Baseball is entering the back end of its tumultuous 162-game season. Teams are making moves, showing their true colors, and officially declaring themselves as contenders or pretenders. The same goes for your fantasy teams. Similar to actual games, fantasy leagues across the country are starting to get serious.
Whether it's your sleeper picks needing to perform better, your top players performing at their expected levels, or just your ace pitcher not getting shelled, it's time to put the nose to the grindstone. While it might be difficult to pick up a quality player on the waiver wire at this time of the season, you never know, especially as injuries heal and slumps break. And even more importantly, you need to closely examine match-ups each week. Teams get hot and cold, and if you can even predict half of what might happen, your fantasy team will thrive: it's just a matter of allowing it to do so. So without further ado, here are five players to watch for that might have very productive weeks, at least in fantasy terms.
1. Brock Holt, Boston Red Sox
Though the 26-year-old outfielder might not hit for power (he only has two home runs and 18 RBIs on the year), his average has made him a solid option in the outfield. He currently sits at .320 on the year, putting him 26 points above his career average. Though his average has dropped in the last week, he still was able to finish at .308 with five runs scored and one RBI. Again, he's not going to light up the stat line, but he's consistent.
Looking ahead to this week, Boston has seven games against two teams — the Cleveland Indians and the Houston Astros — that give up a lot of runs. Take Houston for example: they've allowed 415 runs this season, which is good enough for fourth worst in all of the majors. Even if Holt doesn't get hot, given Boston's opponents, he's almost a guarantee to play a role in a lot of Red Sox runs.

Digital camcorders have captured many precious family moments over the years. It is unfortunate that more people do not take the time to view their digital video footage at home. For many, it is just not pleasant to watch a video on the camcorder's tiny LCD screen, or for others, it is just too much trouble to transfer all of those videos to a computer or DVD for viewing.While these are both options for viewing your videos, there is another more attractive alternative that is simple and straightforward - playing your camcorder through your TV.Almost all camcorders, even if not purchased recently, provide a way to connect into a television. Most even come with a cord or cords that give you everything that you need to connect to a TV. If not, don't give up hope. There still might be a way to connect your camcorder.Make the ConnectionFirst, examine your camcorder to determine what kind of outputs that it supports. You may have to open up a compartment or two to find the outputs because they are not exposed on the outside of the camera. Depending upon the model, the camcorder will use one or several types of outputs. Specifically, you need an output for audio and video.The most common audio and video output for camcorders combines the two into a single output. For this type of connection, the cable required has a single 1/8" plug on one end and three RCA connectors on the other - one for video (usually yellow), one for the right audio channel (usually red), and one for the left audio channel (usually white). If your camcorder did not come with a cable or you lost it, one can usually be purchased at a local retail store.To make the connection, plug the single connector on one end of the cable into the camcorder's audio/video output and the three connectors on the other end of the cable into the television's input. Use the front convenience jacks on your television for the simplest connection. If those are not available, look for an open input on the side or back of the TV. When connecting the cords, be sure to match the color of the cable to the corresponding colors on the TV plugs (red, white, yellow).One step up from the RCA jacks for video is an S-Video connection. If your camcorder supports S-Video (sometimes labeled S-Vid), it might be worth using this connection instead because the video quality is better. An S-Video cable replaces the video portion of the RCA jack above, so there is no need to plug in the yellow jack if you use the S-Video cable. However, the audio portion of the RCA jacks must remain plugged in to get any sound. Make sure that you connect the S-Video cable on the TV on the same input as the RCA jacks for audio. For example, if your RCA jacks were plugged into 'Aux', then plug the S-Video connection into 'Aux' also.
S-Video cables are inexpensive and readily available at many consumer electronics stores. You may even already have one that you are not using from another device that you purchased, so check around first before purchasing a new one. Also, check the type of connection on the camcorder for your S-Video output before you buy a cable. The output should be the same type of connection as the input on the TV. If not, your camcorder has a non-standard S-Video cable and you will probably need to purchase the cable from the manufacturer.

Not a Sister Among Them, but These New Presidents Still Promote a Catholic Vision
A growing share of Roman Catholic colleges are being led by laypeople rather than priests, brothers, or nuns, a trend driven by the rising average age of members of religious orders and a shift in church teaching that allows lay Catholics to take on new leadership roles. But each transition to a lay presidency brings with it questions of whether and how the college will keep its Catholic identity.
The trend toward lay leadership has continued for more than a decade and isn't reversing, says Michael Galligan-Stierle, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. Of the 195 Catholic colleges in the United States that the association represents, 119 were led by lay presidents in June, and of those, 32 were led by laywomen. Three women who have just become lay presidents reflect on what the change will mean to them and their institutions.
Helen J. Streubert, 58, left her post as vice president for academic affairs at Our Lady of the Lake University, in San Antonio, to become president of the College of Saint Elizabeth, in New Jersey, this month. The college has been led by nuns for 114 years.
Ms. Streubert says she was initially anxious about becoming the first lay president. "I wanted to be sure that the community was ready for a change in leadership," she says. The departing president, Sister Francis Raftery, has led the college for 16 years.
Ms. Streubert was assured, she says, that this was the right time for the college's transition. Saint Elizabeth's trustees had opened the presidential search to any Catholic candidate. To preserve its Catholic identity, the college has a mission-and-values administrator who ensures that all major decisions made by Saint Elizabeth's president adhere to the college's religious traditions. "The most important thing is to ensure the heritage and the legacy of the Sisters of Charity," Ms. Streubert says. And that "is really the whole community's responsibility," not hers alone.
Ms. Streubert's first step as president will be to work on strategic planning, she says, but she expects to focus on continuing to diversify the student body, particularly with more first-generation students.
Julie H. Sullivan, 55, has stepped down as executive vice president and provost of the University of San Diego, a Catholic institution, to become both the first female and first lay president of the University of Saint Thomas, in Minnesota. She succeeds the Rev. Dennis Dease, who was set to retire June 30 after 22 years at the helm.
Ms. Sullivan was chosen two years after Saint Thomas's Board of Trustees changed its bylaws to allow for Catholic presidents who are not clergy members. Catholic priests have led the college, which has more than 10,000 students, throughout its 128-year history. The trustees "made the decision up front that they were seeking the best person for this position at this time," she says.
She said this spring that she was keen to preserve the university's traditions. "I hope they're not changed," she explained, "because I want to go there because of what it is."
Catholic universities occupy "a unique position on the world stage today" to encourage interfaith understanding and dialogue, she says. "We're not here to proselytize to anyone. We're here to let people challenge their beliefs" and debate them.
A year ago, Anne M. Prisco became president of Felician College, in New Jersey, succeeding Sister Theresa Mary Martin. Until Ms. Prisco, who is now 56, arrived, nuns had led the college since its founding, in 1942.
Felician's lay presidency has brought logistical changes, like adjustment of the allotted salary to attract someone outside a religious order.
But it's not the transition away from a religious leader that Ms. Prisco says has caused the greatest shift on campus. "It's more about 'I'm a new president' rather than 'I'm a new lay president,'" she says. "The former president was here for 28 years. It was going to be a significant change."
When a layperson comes to lead a college "that's run by sisters, it's just a little different than institutions that are run by priests," she says. Her gender, at least, provided some continuity.
Among other goals, Ms. Prisco is working to raise money and to increase student enrollment. "My great hope," she says, is that the college not feel different to the students, faculty, and rest of the campus community. "I didn't come here to change the mission."

General Order #14 – Rebel Instructions for Shiloh
A New York paper says that the following order of Gen. Beauregard was picked up on the battlefield of Shiloh:
General Order No. 14: Headquarters Army of
the Mississippi, Jackson, Tenn., March 14, 1862.
1. Field and company officers are especially enjoined to instruct their men, under all circumstances, to fire with deliberation at the feet of the enemy. They will thus avoid over-shooting, and, besides, wounded men give more trouble to our adversary than dead, as they have to be taken from the field.
2. Officers in command must be cool and collected; hold their men in hand in action, and caution them against useless, aimless firing. The men must be instructed and required each one to single out his mark. It was the deliberate sharpshooting of our forefathers in the Revolution of 1776, and New Orleans, in 1815, which made them so formidable against the odds with which they were engaged.
3. In the beginning of a battle, except by troops deployed as skirmishers, the fire of file will be avoided. It excites the men and renders their subsequent control difficult. Fire by wing or company should be resorted to instead. During the battle the officers and non-commissioned officers must keep their men in the ranks, enforce obedience, and encourage and stimulate them if necessary.
4. Soldiers must not be permitted to leave the ranks even to assist in removing our own dead, unless by special permission, which shall only be given when the action has been decided. The surest way to protect the wounded is to drive the enemy from the field. The most pressing, highest duty, is to win the victory.
5. Before the battle, the Quartermaster of the division will make all necessary arrangements for the immediate transportation of the wounded from the field. After consultation with the medical officers, he will establish the ambulance depot in the rear, and give his assistants the necessary instructions for the efficient service of the wagons and other means of transportation.
6. The ambulance depot to which the wounded are to be carried directed for immediate treatment, should be established at the most convenient building nearest the field of battle. A red flag marks the place and to it.

Beyond Boundaries: The World of the Capote Opens on October 1, 2016
The Maine State Museum's newest exhibition, "Beyond Boundaries: The World of the Capote," opens to the public on Saturday, October 1, 2016. The museum is open that day from 10 am to 4 pm. Admission is free of charge all day.
The exhibition's centerpiece is a remarkable man's blanket coat, pictured at right and known as a capote, dating from around 1842 and most likely made by a Maliseet woman. This garment, which includes moccasins and matching leggings, symbolizes a region of northern Maine and nearby Canada where a rich blend of French and Native American culture persisted for over 200 years.
"Capotes were the usual man's winter coat among the Natives of the Maine and Maritimes region and so were once common," according to the exhibit's curator Bruce Bourque. "But, as pieces of basically utilitarian clothing, they were not preserved when worn out and are now of exceptional rarity. The museum was very fortunate to acquire this capote and its accessories a few years ago at a local auction. It is one of only two known surviving Native American examples of this type of garment in North America. After careful conservation and study, it is now being exhibited to the public for the first time."
An important feature of the capote is its decoration, which helps identify it as Maliseet. In particular, porcupine quill embroidery and small tinkling cones holding bunches of dyed moose hair are similar to other Maliseet-made clothing of the time. The capote's decorative elements, materials, and origins are illustrated in the exhibit, as are other artifacts associated with life in the borderlands during the 1800s.
"This remarkable capote also reminds us of a time, some 200 years ago, when Maine's northern boundary was so open and undefined that Native tribes, French Canadians, Acadians, and Americans lived peacefully next to each other and interacted in an area that was beyond any real political ownership or any government's effective control," added Museum Director Bernard Fishman. "Surrounded by a variety of objects meant for woodland use and never displayed in the museum before, the capote is an almost unique survivor from a way of life that is nearly unimaginable today."
"Beyond Boundaries: The World of the Capote" will be on view for one year and is scheduled to close on September 30, 2017.

Broccoli Rabe Pesto Bruschetta
Like other cruciferous vegetables, broccoli rabe is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B and C. Chef Gabe Thompson turns it into a healthy, peppery pesto that's delicious on toasted bread.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
- 1 cup raw, shelled pistachios (5 ounces)
- 1 pound broccoli rabe, thick stems discarded
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pistachios in a pie plate and toast for about 10 minutes, until fragrant and golden. Let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Rinse under cold water. Squeeze dry, then transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios with the garlic until coarsely chopped. Add the parsley and broccoli rabe and pulse until finely chopped. Add the olive oil and process until incorporated. Stir in the Pecorino, season with salt and pepper and serve.
Serve With
Ciabatta toasts.

Front seat comfort
I've been looking at used STSs to replace my high-mileage DeVille and finally sat in an XTS in Pinehurst. What a sea change from my de-chromed DeVille and the staid STS interior! It's much swoopier in real life than in photos.
I was relieved that the head restraints were not way too far forward (but far enough) as on other new cars, but the seat cushion was terrible. I'm 160 lbs and 6'2", so my backside is narrow for American adult males, and the seat side bolsters pinched it uncomfortably.
Am I the only one having this problem?
Do I need a bigger butt to be comfortable in this car?
I was worried about the head restraints because the ATS's are awful for me, but the seat bottom is even worse, if they're all like that. I was thinking of just keeping my DeVille going a few years until some XTSs come off leases and into my price range, but now I don't know what to do.
BTW, the STS has the most comfortable front seats--but they force you to sit upright. I can practically do a handstand on my wide Deville seats but have to hold on tight in fast curves.

Re: Front seat comfort
IMO this is related to the airbag problem I posted yesterday. The seat design has prominent side bolsters and anterior bolster so it is not comfortable. I could not agree more.

- - Universal M25 losing power (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/diesel/92290-universal-m25-losing-power.html)
Universal M25 losing power
I posted earlier this season about the low in oil pressure, and a subtle loss in power on my Universal M25. Briefly; after running for an hour or so, the oil pressure would drop to < 10 PSI on the dash mounted gauge. I also noticed that at WOT that she would rev to 2600 RPM, and not 3K. I believed that I addressed the problem with a quick oil & filter change, as well as changing both the primary and secondary fuel filters.
Since then, I have added 10 gallons of fresh fuel, yet noticed that I am still not achieving the full 3K RPM at WOT.
I was on the boat last night, and had the chance to take a close look while she was secured in the slip. After warming up the engine in reverse, I pressed the throttle to the stop, while still in reverse. I was shocked to see that she would now only reach 2100 RPM at WOT.:eek:. I don't normally motor at more than 2K RPM, but this is not good. When she starts (cold) I usually get a puff of white smoke, then it runs clean. There is a little soot on the transom, under the exhaust port, but not much.
I think that I may have to break out the wrenches, and start fixing stuff. The question is, where to begin. One theory is that it could be the mixing elbow blockage. Another is that it may be the injectors are getting fouled.
Under the assumption that it is the injector, I found this;

and this:

And lastly, this which is my exact engine (Kubota D850);

Any other comments, or theories?
Thank you in advance.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
Have you ever been able to rev to 3K?
Different max revs in fwd/rev could be tied to the gear ratio differences, together with perhaps an overpitched or oversized prop (assuming you've never reached 3K).. also (maybe more relevant) max revs when trying to tow a secured dock away would be different than underway, I'd think....
Re: Universal M25 losing power
It will hit 3K in neutral.
Over the summer I know that it hit 2600 while underway.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
I have the Universal 5424, which has a max RPM of 2800 but on my boat only reaches 2400. This is due to the large pitch 3 bladed propeller.
There is a misconception that you have the correct propeller if the engine just about reaches max rpm. This is based on a misunderstanding of how an engine works. Peak power is not necessarily developed at max rpm. This varies from engine to engine, as the plot of torque vs. rpm varies and power is a product of torque and rpm.
Optimum performance will be reached when the propellor is selected such that the engine just reaches it's maximum POWER, not rpm. I've seen numerous posts on fora where people say that if you can't reach max rpm, you are overpropped or the engine is faulty. Not necessarily.
Should you be selecting the prop based on performance of the boat through the water, or on reaching the rpm spec? There was a recent post where someone followed the forum advice concerning the boat being overpropped, put a lower pitch one on, and now achieves max. rpm - at the cost of 1 knot maximum speed and increased fuel consumption due to cruising at higher rpm.
Stop obsessing over getting it to 3000rpm and instead concern yourself with the boat's performance. If you're getting to hull speed at reasonable rpm with good fuel consumption, all is good.
PS, when my max rpm starts dropping I know it's time to get the boat dived. A dirty prop makes a BIG difference.
PPS, You'll get less rpm when the boat is stationary that when it's moving.
PPPS, sounds like the one thing we're sure of is that your dock cleats, docking lines, and boat cleats are all in good shape.
PPPPS (gosh), diesel tachometers are only as accurate as they were adjusted to be. Don't take any rpm reading as gospel without confirming it with a strobe.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
Part of the problem that MarkSF points out is this statement from the owners manual;
Also, I did confirm the accuracy of the tach when I installed the new alternator last year.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
.. so now the question is.. are you achieving a decent/appropriate boat speed at a comfortable RPM? (which need not be max RPM). If so methinks you may be worrying too much..
We motor at a relatively quiet smooth 6.4/6.5 knots, but at an RPM several hundred below max. Pushing it gives us over 7.0, but at a higher consumption and greater discomfort/noise.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
For Universal and Westerbeke engines, as well as Beta the manufacturers want to see max rated RPM or as close to it as you can get. we don't make this stuff up the MANUFACTURERS DO.... This is not where you need to run the engine all the time but where it needs to be able to get to so that the HP curve is appropriate across the curve.
This is a direct quote from the Universal M-25 XPB spec sheet. The engine is 3000 RPM rated..
"Universal recommends a propeller that will allow the engine to turn 3000 RPM underway at full throttle."
Tach Actual
1000 - 1025
1500 - 1400
2000 - 1900
2200 - 2100
2400 - 2275
2500 - 2375
2600 - 2450
2700 - 2525
3200 - 3050
3600 - 3350
Even with our engine looooong out of warranty Joe Joyce of Westerbeke flat out told me I was damaging my engine by running it 275-300 RPM off max rated with the prop we had. In the short time we ran the boat that way the soot on the transom was considerably more than with the right prop. I hauled the boat, sent the prop back and had it re-pitched. It now sings within 25-50 RPM of max rated just as it had for the previous 2700 hours..
PLEASE consult your engine manufacturer on this issue if you have doubts. They have these guidelines for a reason.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
I knew I had this ferreted away somewhere...
Here are the power curves for the Universal M25XP
To MS' point, you can see that HP increases - almost linearly - with increased RPM.
Good point about scrubbing the prop. I will do that next chance that I get.
What concerns me is that the max RPM at WOT have dropped far more than I had expected over the summer.
Re: Universal M25 losing power
"Even with our engine looooong out of warranty Joe Joyce of Westerbeke flat out told me I was damaging my engine by running it 275-300 RPM off max rated with the prop we had.

It now sings within 25-50 RPM of max rated just as it had for the previous 2700 hours.. "
The suggestion that you're going to damage an engine by loading it such that it will only reach 90% of max rpm does not stand up to scrutiny. This is a tractor engine!. I hope no-one will be connecting any kind of heavy load to their tractors.... last time I checked the manual for my diesel car, it did not forbid driving up gentle gradients.... or putting some luggage and passengers in the car.... or driving into a headwind...or just driving on the freeway in 6th gear.
If the Universal in my Bristol (3 bladed prop, only reaches 2400rpm) is being damaged, it's taking a while for that damage to make itself obvious... it's 28 years old, the hourmeter broke at 3700 hours years ago, and it shows no signs of wear.
Mechanical wear rises rapidly with rpm so the lower your cruising rpms, the better (with reason, of course).
Re: Universal M25 losing power
And I am still wondering if anyone agrees / disagrees that I may have an issue with my injectors, or restriction in the exhaust....
