I went across and looked at her today. I will not be making an offer.
This one was completely rebuilt by the current owner, to an acceptable but not exceptional degree of care. The entire boat would require a thorough scrubbing and re-painting, and most of the interior would require re-finishing (including the building over covers and cabinets and such). The wiring and plumbing were both functional but not impressive or particularly fail-safe, and since I'm least competent at fixing those, they rank highest (along with the engine) on my priorities list. I'd rather have stuff that I trust will work for a while, rather than stuff that I'll have to tinker with every other week.
However, it was a very pleasant trip out to the island where it's moored, and the owners fed me a delicious lunch of crab trapped that morning. Hard to complain about that!
As SailingFool states, I can probably get a much better (possibly more modern) boat for that money. Live and learn.
|To each their own...but I think you can get into a more modern 30' like a Tartan 30 for this type of money, and have a lot more room, better sailing, and a proper auxhiliary inboard that would serve all your needs better, 'cepting perhaps rounding Cape Horn should that be a need.
Cascades are well known in this region and many have done serious offshore passages. A caution, though, as many were kit boats and so the fit and finish will vary (a good craftsman might produce something better than 'factory', but unfortunately a poor one will take shortcuts with parts, materials, etc. some of which will not be immediately apparent)
She won't be the spriteliest performer in our summer light airs, I reckon, but might be a decent inexpensive boat for your needs. Looks a bit cramped, too, but liveable. The windlass is a bonus, though I wonder how the O/B keeps up with the batteries.
A good survey should let you know if this is a 'good one'....
Cascade 29 - Good deal/Bad deal?
Alright, I'm going to go and look at a boat this weekend: A Cascade 29. I'll link to the craigslist ad (which has a link to some photos), and I'll post the e-mail I got from the owner. What do you folks think? Is it a fair price? Is it a fair boat? My main concerns are construction quality and engine - what would yours be?
My story is on another post, but here's the summary. I need a boat I can live on, take my SO out for the weekend with, and sail single-handed (in roughly that order). It doesn't need to be fancy, but it will be my home and I don't want to live in a hovel. I'm on a tight budget and have limited free time, but am a skilled carpenter. I won't buy a full project, but expect to do a certain amount of start-up work. I live in Victoria, BC, and will be cruising mostly around the Salish Sea, but would like to be able to circumnavigate Vancouver Island. For the price he's asking I would have a reasonable amount of slosh for upgrades, but obviously never enough (ain't that always the way of it ...).

E-mail the owner sent me:
"Hi Joel,
Its a Cascade 29, built in bullet proof glass in a hand layup process in 1964. (It really is bullet proof. The Cascade Yacht Constructors team fired a 45 calibre round into one of their hulls at point blank range back in the day. Nothing happened!) Deck and cabin were redone in 2005 in my backyard with the help of a Crescent Beach ship builder at $25 an hour. Cabin is all 3/4 inch mahogany. Deck is 1/2 inch mahogany plywood with glass over. Poured $25 thou in, got 8 years of cruising out, averaging 3 weeks a year. I took the original Palmer gas engine out, put in a diesel, took that out 3 years ago and hung the outboard on the back. Gained a ton of space, the cabin smells sweet, boat handles well under power in calmer conditions. Not meant to be used as a motor sailer.
Maintenance records are just one big file.
Come on over this weekend. Its not in Sidney. Its on my mooring buoy at Horton Bay. I'll take you out and about with my friends who arrive tomorrow. You might have to help dress her up. All her cushions and gear have been in dry storage all winter.
If you're thinking this through, at what place would you consider joining us and taking the boat away? We REALLY want to get to the Broughtons this year. I taught up there for 10 years, and have never gotten back on my own sailboat. Family emergencies always pulled us back before we got past Quadra.
Have you looked at the pictures?
I was on her today. Rebedded a couple of lifeline stanchions, cleaned the bilge. Tomorrow, I'm glassing over some more of the mahogany at the roof line. Kept her dry in a tent all year so I could do this. That'll nail a couple of leaks from the bow end of the cabin. Unfortunately, the beauty of the mahogany wood cabin will become just another glass job.

5.0 stars 5 totalReview Carol Bailey
Posted by anonymous
Carol was excellent in handling all areas of my contentious divorce. She tells it like it is, she is tough when she needs to be and very fair in her billing practices. On top of that she is even a very nice person :)
Bottom line is you don't want her on the other side.
Posted by anonymous
Although this was a horrific chapter in my life, I feel that it was optimized through my interaction with Carol and her team. I have three children and needed someone who would help me see what was best for my kids while simultaneously watching out for what was best for me in the long run. Carol asked tough questions and listened carefully while she helped me work out what I needed to do. I guess that every person going through this feels unique. I feel that my case required a lot of attention. I depended on Carol and her staff to watch my blind side -- which was every side for me, given my naivety. Carol supported me throughout the ordeal. When I did not feel like there was a solution, Carol offered some creative avenues to explore. There were many occasions where I needed help immediately. If Carol did not take the call from her cell phone right then (which she did a number of times), I relied on her capable colleagues both in person and over the phone. Carol is incredibly busy and pulled in many directions, but she always got right back to me (even if she was teaching at the UW). Carol was a legal counselor AND a personal counselor. Furthermore, our relationship did not end when my divorce was final. She has followed up several times (no charge of course) to be sure I was coping with this new and difficult transition. My divorce got very ugly in my opinon, but I always felt like I was in good hands wit Carol. Carol also knows the best forensic people in town among others. When we needed consultants, they were eager to help her regardless of their busy schedules. I could tell that there was a mutual respect in this small community. I am six months out from the FINAL date and I am grateful for the hand-holding I received. When we hit surprises in my case, she got on the phone and consulted with other attorneys or researched deeply to determine what the best and most probable solution would be. She is extremely well-connected.
Posted by Mathis L. Dunn, Jr.
Carol-is extremely knowledgeable, kind and responsive. She was always available for consultation and advice when I need her. Her careful handling of my divorce left me with a positve attutide, a clear path to my new future and a renewed respect for the legal profession. I find it diffcult to believe that there are other as trustworthy, forthright and knowledgeable. I sure there might be but I was lucky to have met Carol Bailey. In my view, she is simply the best.
Posted by Jeff Durrell
I was very fortunate to find Carol Bailey. She is dynamic, knowledgeable and extremely professional. As her client, Carol always listened to my needs and quickly became someone I could trust. Communication is her strong suit and I genuinely appreciated her commitment to educating me on what to expect next. Legal proceedings are often stressful and trying, yet Carol has the ability to help her clients feel confident and informed. I highly recommend her services.
Posted by Christie
I interviewed 6 other top Seattle attorneys before chosing to work with Ms. Bailey. I chose remarkably wisely. She was the only one to see my circumstances as distinctive, and my story unique. The other attorneys gave me little hope of having a life after the divorce was final.
Ms. Bailey worked extremely hard on my complicated case. She took extraordinary time to understand my complex income and circumstances. The payoff: When we went to court, she was PREPARED.
Obviously, divorce is an emotional time. Ms. Bailey took time to explain each hearing, and what to expect, and what the varied outcomes might be. We worked together to develope a strategy, and worked that strategy. Her legal knowledge and willingness to work hard made a lifetime difference in the quality of life I am living now-- one year after the divorce is final.
As I mentioned in titling my comments, Ms. Bailey and her firm were a "lifechanger" for me. She was a warrior.
In all of our worlds, there are people who we would prefer not to mix with, people we can hire and get a satisfactory (legally standard) outcome, and then the top tier of people-- the top 1 percent-- who are in the position (and have the knowledge, skills and passion), to help you empower your life. Ms. Bailey is one of those top-tier-people. I highly recommend her. She is the single attorney I would have by my side during the tramatic journey of divorce.

It was a comfortable room and the accessibility to Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City that appeared to be thirty to forty minutes away. I also enjoyed the breakfast that included fresh waffles and eggs with sausage or bacon. There were four guests and they didn't always give enough towels.
Okay rooms. Decent breakfast. There was no way to darken the windows in the morning as there is only one white sheer curtain on the window.
Rooms, bathroom nice and clean, bed comfy .Really liked the breakfast bar, nice big room to eat in. The little bar area was nice too we had a late dinner there, staff was friendly and food was good especially the fries :) would stay here again. Wi fi didn't work on the 5th floor and the stairs weren't noticeable from the lobby incase you didn't want to take the elevator.
The rooms were adequate and comfortable. The bedding was clean as we inspected the mattresses before going to sleep. The free breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The walls were thin. We could hear doors slamming as people went in and out of their rooms. I could also faintly hear the TV next door.
Staff was very pleasant Nothing
This place is infested with bugs. We itched the whole time we were there. They cancelled our reservation without letting us know, so when we checked in after 12 am, they told us we had no room and that they had no vacancy. Even though we managed to get a room out of them, and even though they lied initially, I regretted fighting to stay there. I wish I could give them ZERO stars.
Rate was good considering influx of people in city for softball tournament. room service was a little spotty. Maybe one less wash clothe given one day and another day they took our used towels and wash cloths before we left the room in the morning and when we came back that evening, we had new towels etc. but the room had not been cleaned.The breakfast was fair at best little variety and very small space with maybe 4 small tables, 5 at most.
desk personel were good service was slow and inefficient
Requested a non-smoking room but instead ended up at a smoking room. Went up to front desk requesting a change, and all I had to hear was loud no vacancy and deal with it. Would never stay again..
The staff was very nice and we didn't have to pay that much for the room. Building is very rundown and when we arrived and went to our room it had been completely torn up for renovations. The staff was very confused and gave us the only remaining room after they went to see what we were talking about.
Checked out on first night due to bed bugs.
I found a great deal on Kayak, but it is clear why this hotel was so much cheaper than all the others. The room was filthy. There were flies and bugs in the room. The refrigerator was not plugged in when I got there so I had to wait for it to cool. The room was non-smoking but it reeked of cigarette smoke and there were cigarette burns on the sink and bathtub. One of the lamps wasn't plugged in and when I went to plug it in, there was a bunch of hair and crumbs on the floor and behind the bed. GROSS! When I went to give my son a bath, the drain cover floated up and the drain revealed a clump of hair!!!! EWWWW!!!! I gave him washcloth bath. Safety was also a concern. The deadbolt did not work on the door and you were left with only a chain. I didn't have peaceful sleep because I thought someone could just barge in at any time. Also, if anyone is staying above you, you can hear every step that they make through the ceiling. NEVER STAYING HERE AGAIN!
Staff was fine. Room was adequate.bed was good. Fairly quiet. Breakfast was OK- two kinds of cereal, eggs, bread to be toasted. Breakfast area was too small for the number of people who are using it. Not enough seats.
The staff were the nicest I have ever delt with.I would stay there again
The only likable thing about my stay was it was close to where i had to be. Sloppy made bed, no water pressure in sink and tub, wait for towel to be cleaned before we could get a towel, Had to wait past 3:00 to get into our room, the worse place i've ever stayed
The hotel is good. I would prefer better food variation for breakfast - more fruts, yogurts, etc.
No amenities worth price. Staff unpleasant
If I were to stay longer than a night it had a mini fridge, a microwave, the bathroom was very clean and plenty or desk space. When the air was turned off in the room it smelled very musky, also don't walk around in socks by the end of the night they were black and damp.
Comfortable room. Front end manager Melanie very nice and friendly A/C unit full of mold. Bathroom sink stopper not connected. NO hot water. Was told at check in that it would be about an hour. Next morning still no hot water. Since I booked online they could not give a discount. I was told if I come back ( don't think so) I would receive a 15% discount. Not really worth it
Location to our event. Hotel was clean. Rooms were typical hotel rooms Price increases day by day.. We were here for a baseball tournament. Didn't know how many days we would be there due to the double elimination bracket. Hotel wouldn't work with us in the price. It increased $50 or more per night..
It was clean. We liked that the pool was open late. It was in a somewhat rough area and seems to attract some rough clientele, mainly in the form of contractual workers.
The hotel room was very clean. At breakfast, the waffles were a good idea, but having one cooking apparatus held up the line too long.
i liked the fact the the place had a pool i could relax in after a long day of adventure in the world and the staff were very polite
beds were comfy, bathroom was clean Front desk ladies were rude and didn't want to help. Refused to give me a receipt upon checkout. Actually argued with me, when I questioned her about why I wasn't allowed to have a checkout receipt. It was very strange and unprofessional. Would never go back there.
Nothing. It was an over priced last minute stop. Bed was comfortable. Room didn't feel the cleanest but wasn't dirty. Probably because first room wasn't cleaned that we were given. Loose toilet seats and such. Staff was helpful when original room wasn't ready when we went in so got another room. No ESPN either.
No problems.
Clean. Well kept. When I woke up to someone loading food delivery into the kitchen. Very loud and way too early. Very loud.
I liked the continental breakfast and large shower. The room, bathroom and hotel were very clean and staff was friendly. Its perfect if you need an overnight in the area. Its not a luxury hotel for a "weekend away" per se, but its very adequate if you just need a clean place to sleep and a good breakfast. I didnt find the bed very comfortable. Poor water pressure in the shower.
The location was fine for my needs. The room was quiet. The mattress was very uncomfortable -- my back felt unsupported which made it difficult to sleep.I forgot a Nintendo hand-held 3DS player plugged into its charger, but when I called the next day, the cleaning crew said it wasn't there- not possible.
Room had been recently renovated and was nicely done. Everything was new and clean. Room was large with a nice size kitchen area.
The room was clean and perfect for what we needed-just to sleep there and warm up leftovers for lunch. The microwave and fridge were nice to have. This is a good place to stay!
The room was VERY clean and though basic, was everything we needed for an overnight stay along our route. The owner takes pride in keeping an excellent inn and is helpful way beyond what would be expected. Highly recommended.
Old fashioned court style motel, so very secure parking and no street noise despite being right in a major busy road. The room was small but was built when quality construction mattered and the bathroom had real porcelain fixtures, not the cheap plastic ones. The staff were wonderful, helpful and always greeted us with a smile. The mattress looked and felt new. The AC was nice and cold. Nothing not to love.
I loved how clean it was everything looked wonderful in the rooms. The person at the desk was very rude, I asked him a question I swore he rolled his eyes, because he didn't like the fact he had to repeat his self. Upon me leaving the counter I said to my sister he's very rude, and I wish Days Inn had some rooms, cause we wouldn't have been here. That's the way he made me feel, because of his attitude.
The renovated room was nice! Stale/smokey smell in the room. Dog barking at all hours and you can hear EVERYTHING on hardwood floors above you, bed was like a board, flat pillows, and no shower supplies available except towels.
Nice clean rooms energy efficient . Don't expect basic greetings or an inviting smile. Not sure if it was because it was late or because it was too early, (when not front desk) no English but I think they know basic greetings, or default because we are black. I work in Hospitality currently, these things just seem like they should be commonplace even if guest are uninviting or dead you lose nothing in being polite which is part of being hospitable.

I am interested in trying cell salts. I *think* I might have a cavity, but I am afraid to go to my dentist because they are not biological dentists and I am afraid of the mercury I will be exposed to just by being in there, as well as the fact that they will want to drill it out and such. I also dont want x-rays....
DD has some strange coloring on her front bottom teeth, it is yellower then the top of the tooth and there are even some tiny grayish lines on some of them going about half way up the tooth. I am very unsure as to what this is! The teeth feel very hard/strong, and I cant scratch of the yellow with my nail.
I am thinking of ordering Hylands Bioplasma, and have also looked at Concentrace, but dont know what to get or if the cell salts is just a big scam or what!? Anyone have any experiences?
Hi 1love4ever :
There have been some success stories in this community using cell salts and pascalite clay. My 20 month old son has several cavities as do I and we just started them. Out of all the suggested things ( xylitol, FCLO, cell salts, pascalite clay, MI Paste, raw milk ), to me they seem the most promising. I believe I've seen 3-4 success stories with them here alone. Xylitol also has a couple of success stories as does FMCLO. We're trying everything on the list just to be safe.
BlueBird Mama is someone in this community who cured some deep cavities in her three year old, I think. I found her story also in another group http://www.healingwiseforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27276 . We're taking exactly what she took plus Silica because he has some digestion issues. We could have saved money buying online, but I felt the need to get them soon. Total cost was about $50.00. Online is definitely less. I also started using Closys mouthwash last week and can already tell a HUGE difference in the gums, breath, and teeth. The mouthwash helps get bacteria under control and creates a more alkaline environment. After eating we also using a colloidal silver spray.
We just started, so I can't claim a success story ( but I hope too one day ), but I hope that points you in the right direction. I'm going to take a picture of my son's cavities and then take monthly photos and then see if I see a change. I'll post them here in hopes of helping other moms who like me also wanted some concrete proof that something works.
That sounds great, I'd love to hear your progress! We've actually been taking FCLO for several months, not because of cavities but just for its health benefits and I am thrilled to hear that it might help with cavities!
I really want to order Toothsoap but I am not sure if its as good as it looks, I wish I knew of someone else who's tried it! I dont have money to just throw around on products that I end up not using/liking :/
Thanks for your reply! I would like to take us all into a biological dentist, but that would mean a 300 mile drive, and paying out of pocket, not something we can afford right now. So i'm hoping I can reverse any decay we have, and continue with prevention.
So I finally broke down and went to the dentist myself for a cleaning. Turns out I had sealants put on my teeth when I was like 10? So the cavity I thought I had was actually just a place where the sealant had broke out and it was stained. So, I wanted the sealant off my tooth but the lady could not fathom what I was talking about because it was an unheard of request so she ended up filling it in. Since I am 21 the Dr was concerned about my wisdom teeth and talked me into a panoramic x-ray of my mouth. When I did that, OMG I felt this horrible pressure around my head I cant even explain it. It felt like there was something there but there was not. Obvisouly it was the x-rays going straight into my freaking head! Wow, seriously I cant believe that is even legal. I could feel it the second she turned it on, and as soon as it was off. It was intense and I will never, EVER do it again. I have had a million of the "bite down on this" x-rays done of the sides of my mouth and never had that experience.
choochootwo, I'd be interested in finding out how the different things are working for you. I just noticed a cavity in my daughter's mouth and was horrified! I am hoping to help the teeth remineralize naturally. Please post an update. :)
I have never heard of cell salts? Can someone point me to a quick run-down of them? I have 2 developing cavities I so do NOT want to have filled. I use xylitol but I know that won't heal them. just stop the progression.

Comptroller DiNapoli: Railroad Workers Cheat Metro-North Out Of Millions
Metro-North Railroad supervisors signed their own fraudulent time cards, workers were paid for travel to job sites they never went to and day-shift employees were put on late shifts that required them to rest the next day, at full pay. In the end, a report by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says, a small signal unit racked up more than $1.2 million in overtime and regular pay, and $5.5 million in future pension pay.
The report said that supervisors also tried to hide the abuses, most of which involved overtime, by shifting payroll costs to unrelated projects.
DiNapoli told WNYC the findings are disturbing. "It really gets to a culture of tolerance and acceptance of practices that really don't make any sense from a cost point of view at a time when the MTA very much needs to be more efficient and not waste money," he said.
The report said the most common abuse by the unit was to take advantage of a federal rule that requires railroad employees to rest for ten hours after working 12 hours, which was designed to prevent riders from being placed in the hands of fatigued motormen and other equipment operators.
Auditors in DiNapoli's office found supervisors allowed day workers to pull a 12-hour night shift, at overtime pay, that required them to rest the next day while being paid their regular wage. The report said one worker did the maneuver enough times that his lifetime pension benefits are now $1.5 million more than they would have been based on base salary alone.
"These payments occurred because of a pervasive culture of management acceptance of long-term practices, employee feelings of entitlement to additional compensation, and ineffective internal controls in Metro-North's payroll office," the report stated.
The MTA said its audit department is tightening payroll controls and cooperating with an investigation by the authority's inspector general.
The MTA also issued a statement that said, "Metro-North took steps last summer to ensure that signal supervisors no longer sign their own timecards."

A slump in bankers' bonuses blew a £550m hole in the Treasury's income tax take last month, official figures showed yesterday.
The drop in income tax revenues to £11.7bn – down from £12.2bn a year earlier – was put down to "the fall in financial-sector bonuses" by the Government's fiscal watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The figures came as the Chancellor, George Osborne, was warned of a looming tax crunch as weak growth and sliding revenues jeopardised his plans to cut the deficit.
The Treasury just scraped within the OBR's target of £126bn for 2011-12 despite a grim £18.2bn in borrowing during March.
But the official numbers also revealed a revenue squeeze that bodes ill for the year ahead. Income and wealth taxes were down by nearly 7 per cent compared with March last year. VAT receipts – another big Treasury earner – sank 1 per cent to £9.4bn.
Daniel Soloman, economist at the Centre for Economics and Business Research, warned: "The fly in Mr Osborne's debt-reduction ointment will probably be slow GDP growth. This is a problem for the Government's debt-reduction strategy because slow growth goes hand-in-hand with comparatively modest tax takings. Without robust tax takings, the Government will find it difficult to reduce the deficit and its borrowing requirements."
Maintaining decent tax revenues will be crucial for the Chancellor this year as he faces an even more exacting official deficit target of £92bn from the OBR, even as the threat of a double-dip recession mounts.
Despite better recent news on the jobs market, the Government also paid out more in benefits like unemployment last month. The bill for benefits hit £15.4bn in March, 8 per cent ahead of the same month last year.

Dimming Side Mirrors?

Brought the car back to the dealer 2 more times. They admitted that the side mirrors do not dim very well at night and blamed it on the tinted tailgate glass and the height of the X3 (as compared to a 335 with no tinted glass when I said the side mirrors work fine on my 335). They said that the tinted glass and height prevent or limit the light sensor on the (inside) rear mirror to detect the lights from behind. And since the dimming on the side mirrors works on much light detected by the rear mirror at night (the sensor activates the computer to send electrical current to the side mirror), the less or no light detected, the less or no dimming. I tried to convince BMW that they should modify their program coding to increase the current sent to the side mirrors, but no luck so far.

Entering a Foreign Market
Foreign Market Entry Plan
Before entering the international arena it is important to make a profile of your potential market. The following is a list of questions to take into consideration:
- What are the major distribution channels for this product in each geographical market? Are there distributors who can market the product/service locally, or will the company need to sell directly to the end user? If after-sales service is required, can local distributors handle this responsibility?
- What is the nature of the competition in each market? What market share have indigenous firms attained? Are other firms exporting to that market or setting up local operations? From what countries? How are other firms positioning their products? What is the pricing structure in each market? Is the product subject to any government-mandated price controls? Does the government provide subsidies or other forms of support to domestic competitors?
- What is the market outlook for the product/service in each country? Has the growth rate been consistent or subject to wide variations? How does the growth rate for imported product compare to the overall growth rate in the domestic market?
- What specific regulations will the product/service be subject to in a given country? How will they impact the design requirements for the product? For services, what professional licensing requirements or regulatory oversight will the company be subject to?
- Are incentives offered by the US Government or other government/multilateral agencies to promote the export of the product/service?
Which Method of Exporting is Best For You:
Having determined the best international markets for your products, you now need to evaluate the most profitable way to get your products to potential customers in these markets. There are several methods of foreign market entry including exporting, licensing, joint venture and off-shore production. The method you choose will depend on a variety of factors including the nature of your particular product or service and the conditions for market penetration which exist in the foreign target market.
Exporting can be accomplished by selling your product or service directly to a foreign firm, or indirectly, through the use of an export intermediary, such as a commissioned agent, an export management or trading company. International joint ventures can be a very effective means of market entry. Joint ventures overseas are often accomplished by licensing or off-shore production. Licensing involves a contractual agreement whereby you assign the rights to distribute or manufacture your product or service to a foreign company. Off-shore production requires either setting up your own facility or sub-contracting the manufacturing of your product to an assembly operator. Of the various methods of foreign market entry, exporting is most commonly used by small businesses. Start-up costs and risks are limited, and profits can be realized early on. There are two basic ways to export: direct or indirect.
Direct exporting
While indirect exporting offers many advantages, direct exporting also has its rewards: although initial outlays and the associated risks are greater, so too can be the profits. Direct exporting signals a commitment on the part of company management to fully engage in international trade. It may require that you dedicate a staff person or even several personnel to support your export efforts, and company management may have to travel abroad frequently.
Selling directly to an international buyer means that you will have to handle the logistics of moving the goods overseas.
Different Approaches to Direct Exporting:
Sales Representatives/Agents:
Like manufacturers' representatives in the United States, foreign-based representatives or "agents" work on a commission basis to locate buyers for your product. Your representative most likely will handle several complementary, but non-competing product lines. An agent is, generally, a representative with authority to make commitments on behalf of your firm. Be careful, therefore, about using the terms interchangeably. Your agreement should specify whether the agent/rep. has legal authority to obligate the firm.
Foreign distributors, in comparison, purchase merchandise from the U.S. company and re-sell it at a profit. They maintain an inventory of your product, which allows the buyer to receive the goods quickly. Distributors often provide after-sales service to the buyer.
Your agreement with any overseas business partner — whether a representative, agent or distributor — should address whether the arrangement is exclusive or non-exclusive, the territory to be covered, the length of the association, and other issues.
Foreign Government Buying Agents:
Foreign government agencies or quasi-governmental agencies are often responsible for procurement. In some instances, countries require an in-country agent to access these procurement opportunities. This can often represent significant export potential for U.S. companies, particularly in markets where U.S. technology and know-how are valued. Foreign country commercial attaches in the United States can provide you with the appropriate in-country procurement office.
Retail Sales:
If you produce consumer goods, you may be able to sell directly to a foreign retailer. You can either hire a sales representative to travel to your target market with your product literature and samples and call on retailers, or you can introduce your products to retailers through direct-mail campaigns. The direct-marketing approach will save commission fees and travel expenses. You may want to combine trips to your target markets with exploratory visits to retailers. Such face-to-face meetings will reinforce your direct marketing.
Direct Sales to End-Users:
Your product line will determine whether direct sales to the end-user are a viable option for your company. A manufacturer of medical equipment, for example, may be able to sell directly to hospitals. Other major end-users include foreign governments, schools, businesses and individual consumers.
Indirect exporting
Many small businesses have been exporting indirectly by using an export intermediary. There are several kinds of export intermediaries you should consider.
Commissioned Agents:
Commissioned agents act as "brokers," linking your product or service with a specific foreign buyer. Generally, the agent or broker will not fulfill the orders, but rather will pass them to you for your acceptance. However, they may assist, in some cases, with export logistics such as packing, shipping and export documentation.
Export Management Companies (EMCs):
EMC's act as your "off-site" export department, representing your product — along with the products of other companies — to prospective overseas purchasers. The management company looks for business on behalf of your company and takes care of all aspects of the export transaction. Hiring an EMC is often a viable option for smaller companies that lack the time and expertise to break into international markets on their own. Some of the specific functions an EMC will perform include:
- Conducting market research to determine the best foreign markets for your products;
- Attending trade shows and promoting your products overseas;
- Assessing proper distribution channels;
- Locating foreign representatives and/or distributors;
- Arranging export financing;
- Handling export logistics, such as preparing invoices, arranging insurance, customs documentation, etc.; and
- Advising on the legal aspects of exporting and other compliance matters dealing with domestic and foreign trade regulations.
EMC's usually operate on a commission basis, although some work on a retainer basis and some take title to the goods they sell, making a profit on the markup. It is becoming increasingly common for EMCs to take title to goods.
Export Trading Companies (ETCs):
ETC's perform many of the functions of EMCs. However, they tend to be demand-driven and transaction-oriented, acting as an agent between the buyer and seller. Most trading companies source U.S. products for their overseas buyers. If you offer a product that is competitive and popular with the ETC buyers, you are likely to get repeat business. Most ETCs will take title to your goods for export and will pay your company directly. This arrangement practically eliminates the risks associated with exporting for the manufacturer.
ETC Cooperatives:
ETC cooperatives are United States government-sanctioned co-ops of companies with similar products who seek to export and gain greater foreign market share. Many agricultural concerns have benefited from ETC cooperative exporting, and many associations have sponsored ETC cooperatives for their member companies. The National Machine Tool Builders' Association, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute and the National Association of Energy Service Companies are a few examples of associations with ETC co-ops. Check with your particular trade association for further information.
Foreign Trading Companies:
Some of the world's largest trading companies are located outside the United States. They can often be a source of export opportunity. U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service (US&FCS) representatives in embassies around the world can tell you more about trading companies located in a given foreign market.
Exporting through an Intermediary — Factors to Consider:
Working with an EMC/ETC makes sense for many small businesses. The right relationship, if structured properly, can bring enormous benefits to the manufacturer, but no business relationship is without its potential drawbacks. The manufacturer should carefully weigh the pros and cons before entering into a contract with an EMC/ETC. Some advantages include:
- Your product gains exposure in international markets—with little or no commitment of staff and resources from your company.
- The EMC/ETC's years of experience and well-established network of contacts may help you to gain faster access to international markets than you could through establishing a relationship with a foreign-based partner.
- Using an intermediary lowers or eliminates your export start-up costs, and, therefore, the risks associated with exporting. You can negotiate your contract with an EMC so that you pay nothing until the first order is received.
- Your intermediary will guide you through the export process step-by-step. Over time, you will develop your own export skills.
Disadvantages of exporting through an intermediary:
- You lose some control over the way in which your product is marketed and serviced. Your company's image and name are at stake. You will want to incorporate any concerns you may have intoyour contract, and you will want to monitor closely the activities and progress of your intermediary.
- You may lose part of your export-sales profit margin by discounting your price to an intermediary. However, you may find that the economies of scale realized through increased production offset this loss.
- Using an intermediary can result in a higher price being passed on to the overseas buyer or end-user. This may or may not affect your competitive position in the market. The issue of pricing should be addressed at the outset.
Export Merchants/Export Agents:
Export merchants and agents will purchase and then re-package products for export, assuming all risks and selling to their own customers. This export intermediary option should be considered carefully, as your company could run the risk of losing control over your product's pricing and marketing in overseas markets.
Piggyback Exporting:
Allowing another company, which already has an export distribution system in place, to sell your company's product in addition to its own is called "piggyback" exporting. Piggyback exporting has several advantages. This arrangement can help you gain immediate foreign market access. Also, all the requisite logistics associated with selling abroad are borne by the exporting company. Oklahoma-based DP Manufacturing's winches were attached to another product and sold abroad by another company. DP Manufacturing now handles its own exports and reports that 15 percent of its sales comes from international markets.
How to find buyers:
- Advertise in Trade Journals
- Participate in Catalog and Video/Catalog Exhibitions:
- Pursue Trade Leads
- Exhibit at Trade Shows
- Participate in Trade Missions
- Contact Multilateral Development Banks
Qualifying Potential Buyers Or Representatives:
Once you locate a potential foreign buyer or representative, the next step is to qualify them by reputation and financial position. First, obtain as much information as possible from the company itself. Here are a few sample questions you will want to ask:
- What is the company's history and what are the qualifications and backgrounds of the principal officers?
- Does the company have adequate trained personnel, facilities, resources to devote to your business?
- What is their current sales volume?
- What is the size of their inventory?
- How will they market your product (retail, wholesale or direct)?
- Which territories or areas of the country do they cover?
- Do they have other U.S. or foreign clients? Are any of these clients your competitors? It is important to obtain references from several current clients.
- What types of customers do they serve?
- Do you publish a catalogue?
- What is their sales force?
When you have this background information and are comfortable about proceeding, then obtain a credit report about their financial position. DOC's World Trade Data Reports (WTDRs), available from your local District ITA Office, are compiled by US&FCS officers. A WTDR can usually provide an in-depth profile of the prospective company you are investigating.
There are also several commercial services for qualifying potential partners, such as Dun & Bradstreet's Business Identification Service and Graydon reports. U.S. banks and their correspondent banks or branches overseas, and foreign banks located in the United States can provide specific financial information.
In this chapter we have discussed methods of market entry, how to find potential foreign buyers and representatives and how to qualify whom you will be doing business with overseas. Advance market research and preparation is the best way for a small business to define a potential export market.
The next question that needs to be explored involves how to accomplish the business of exporting — that is, how the deal should be structured.
International Trade Administration
The International Trade Administration (ITA) strengthens the competitiveness of U.S. industry, promotes trade and investment, and ensures fair trade through the rigorous enforcement of our trade laws and agreements. ITA works to improve the global business environment and helps U.S. organizations compete at home and abroad.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – West Virginia University running back Noel Devine has a big decision coming up, and it's not what Christmas gift to return or which bowl gear items he can pass on to family and friends.
|Noel Devine takes in a practice Monday afternoon at University of North Florida.
All-Pro Photography/Dale Sparks photo
It's a much bigger decision, one that Devine will wait until after the season to decide on his future.
A junior, Devine is still debating whether to enter the National Football League (NFL) Draft or return for his final year at WVU. He has averaged 6.4 yards per carry during his three-year career and has put together back-to-back seasons of 1,289 and 1,297 yards rushing.
He said he'd prefer to remain focused on Friday's game against Florida State in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl instead of his future plans.
"I haven't done anything," said Devine, owner of 10 career 50-plus yard rushes.
Prior to breaking for the holiday, he had yet to file paperwork with the NFL Collegiate Advisory Committee to find out his status for the April draft. The information is designed to help underclassmen determine if they should stick around for their senior season or if there is a market for their skills in the pros.
"Whatever falls in place and whatever is right," said Devine. "I'll leave it in God's hands."
The unanimous first-team all-Big East selection rushed for 100 or more yards in six games, including a career-high 220 yards against Big 12 foe Colorado. Devine is incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands, drawing NFL comparisons to Darren Sproles and Felix Jones.
"Right now my mindset is focused on coming back and winning a national championship," said Devine. "But who knows? This game can mean a lot, but right now I'm just focused on coming back. It can be so much better next year than this year."
Devine refers to the loads of young talent accumulated over the past few years, along with the current offensive two-deep roster listing only six seniors.
"There's a lot of things I'd like to accomplish, a lot of records," said Devine when asked of what's left to achieve in a Mountaineer uniform.
He stands sixth in career rushing touchdowns (22) and fifth on the all-time rushing list (3,213 yards) where he would likely finish second or challenge Avon Cobourne for the top spot with a fourth season at WVU.
While Devine is leaving the door open for either option regarding his future, his immediate focus lies on beating Florida State – a team he knows quite a bit about.
"There is a lot on the line going into this game just being from Florida," said the Ft. Myers native. "They (Florida State) and West Virginia were the final two schools that I had to pick from."
A YouTube sensation coming out of high school, Devine was content with his decision to leave the state and play for the Old Gold and Blue.
"I liked it here better," recalled Devine of his recruitment by WVU. "The offense, the environment, the coaching staff; I just felt welcome here.
"Plus I just wanted to get out of Florida. I just didn't want to stay in Florida and keep going back home and getting in trouble. I just wanted to get away."
Devine also had several conversations with legendary Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden.
"He was a great guy with great character. He was so relaxed and calm. It felt like I knew him already," recalled Devine of FSU's recruitment.
Despite growing up in a football-crazed state, he never pledged allegiance to one team or another.
"It's funny because I never really liked watching football (early on). I wasn't a fan of any particular team, just liked some key players on different teams," said Devine. "But everyone else pretty much rooted Florida, Florida State or Miami."
Devine is looking forward to lacing up his cleats and winning a 10th game for his senior teammates. Yet, he also wants to put on a show for his family and friends on a nationally televised game in his home state.
"The majority of my family wants to come to the game, so I've been busy trying to get them tickets," laughed Devine. "They haven't been able to attend too many games (in my career). So, it's going to be special."
The stage has been set for Friday's Gator Bowl to push Devine into the NFL Draft or serve as a catalyst for another brilliant season in Morgantown. Regardless of how it plays out, this selfless player has earned every bit of creating a win-win situation.

Last week, I mentioned that a writing goal, like Chris Guillebeau's goal of 1,000 words a day, can help you create the right writing habits. It's the same for anything, really: if you can commit to something realistic, and do it every day, the rest will fall into place and you'll see improvement.
For me, this same principle applies to running. As with my writing, my running hasn't always been consistent, and I'm trying to change that. I try to run every other day, with another workout on off days to rest my muscles. Since November, I've been able to keep this schedule (for the most part) so it has become a consistent habit.
One of my favorite novelists is Haruki Murakami. His memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is a reflection on his career as both a runner and writer. Throughout the book, he admits his writing only became an artistic and commercial success because he wrote every day and kept disciplined throughout his career.
This discipline came into play through his running as well. In the midst of his writing career, Murakami has run a handful of marathons including the Boston Marathon.
I read What I Talk About When I Talk About Running a couple years ago, but I found this quote from the book to be just as relevant today as it was when I read it the first time:
Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that's the essence of running, and a metaphor for life—and for me, for writing as well. I believe many runners would agree.
Running, just like writing, is a difficult process. It requires commitment and drive, then it requires follow-through. It's not something you can do every once in a while; instead, it takes years of practice to improve.
Maybe you're not a runner or writer, but the same applies to other creative work. Just remember: this is a process, and it requires drive, persistence, and consistency to be successful.

VIDEO + PICS: As Grand Central Bustles, A New Station Is Clawed From The Rock Below
(New York, NY - WNYC) Michael Horodniceanu, the NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority's master builder, was sweating as he stood in a cavern blasted from the layers of schist below Grand Central Terminal, which marks its 100th year on Friday. He was considering the question of which, in the end, would be thought of as the bigger job: building the original terminal or the the tunnels that the authority is bringing into a new $8.24 billion station it is constructing beneath the existing one.
"This one," he said. "Because people have been building above ground for a long time. We've been digging for a long time--we have about 6 miles of tunnels just in Manhattan. We've been digging under the most expensive real estate you can find in New York."
What's he and hundreds of sandhogs are creating is a project called East Side Access: 350,000 square feet of track, platforms, escalators and concourses that will, for the first time, connect Long Island Railroad to the East Side of Manhattan. It will double the size of Grand Central Terminal without enlarging its footprint, and it is expected to shave 40 minutes off the commutes of about 160,000 passengers per weekday. Currently, Long Islanders who work on the East Side of Manhattan must travel to Penn Station, on the West Side, and double back.
The project is $2 billion over-budget and its 2019 completion date puts it six years behind schedule--another reason Horodniceanu is sweating.
This is people-intensive work," he said. "We use the best technology but, in the end, it takes people." As he spoke, a worker operated a backhoe that clawed rock from a watery pit. The pit was lit by a high-intensity kleig light, which barely held back the subterranean gloom.
Every day 750,000 visitors pass through Grand Central Terminal, making it the largest hub for train traffic in the world. Of East Side Access's impact on Grand Central Station, Horodniceanu said, "What we are doing now is we are basically preparing it for the next 100 years. "

Arizona WR Andre Roberts is expected to start the season as the No. 2 receiver opposite Larry Fitzgerald . Roberts held that position for the entire 2011 season, posting 51 receptions for 586 yards and two TDs. Coaches think he's developed into a good player and that his numbers from last year were more a reflection of problems at quarterback.
Fantasy Analysis:
Roberts showed a significant jump in production from his rookie season of 2010 to the statistics he amassed last season for the Cardinals. He caught 27 more balls and increased his yardage total by 379 yards while being targeted 49 more times. Rookie Michael Floyd will look to challenge Roberts for the No. 2 spot on the Cardinals depth chart but his knowledge of the system should make Roberts the favorite to keep his position. The quarterback position continues to be a problem in the desert and that effects the fantasy potential of Roberts in 2012. He may be moved into the slot position and quarterback Kevin Kolb has utilized WR Early Doucet, who manned the slot in 2011, extensively when he's been under center. Roberts is a candidate for a surprising fantasy season, should he establish a rapport with Kolb and excel at his natural slot position. Roberts is a solid WR #3 for fantasy purposes with low-end #2 upside should Kolb finally emerge as a viable NFL quarterback.

Following the adice by PadmaVonSamba, about listening: I did this but with my eyes closed. I listened to all that was around me, but attempted to attached no thought to it. Thoughts came and went, and I ignored them, I just kept on listening. It worked the first time I tried it. I did it later on and it worked again.
I am very happy about this, and so I will keep on doing this every day. I am mediatating for fifteen minutes, I hope to get up to 30. I used to do thirty, but recent life changes reduced my time. I think three thirt minute sessions a day would be very nice.
Thank you all.

Two vendors are addressing a new problem companies face: How do you protect sites served by gigabit-speed Internet connections?
Cisco and NetScreen are the first to introduce gigabit firewalls that support high-speed VPN encryption needed to carry business transactions securely over public IP networks. Both companies' products support Triple-DES encryption at speeds slower than 1G bit/sec, but as a practical matter companies won't need to encrypt all traffic flowing over the Internet connections.
The need for high-speed firewall protection will grow as more service providers emerge offering 1G bit/sec links to the Internet that corporations use for e-commerce or supporting VPNs that link enterprise sites, says John Lawler, an analyst with Infonetics Research.
One such provider, Yipes, says it is evaluating NetScreen's 1000ES firewall/VPN box to support a high-speed managed firewall service it is rolling out this week at subgigabit speeds, says Eric Zines, Yipes' director of product marketing.
NetScreen's enterprise offering, NetScreen-1000ES, supports a 1G bit/sec firewall that performs Triple-DES encryption at 600M bit/sec.
The encryption is faster than Cisco's new PIX 535 firewall, which means enterprise customers can use the encryption more widely if needed.
"If the encryption results in a severe performance degradation, you might decide not to turn it on, which is not a good idea from a security point of view.
Usually, you want all the pieces to work at the line rate," Lawler says. The NetScreen-1000ES also has a failover option.
NetScreen-1000ES also supports five separate virtual LAN segments, and customers can define different levels of security for each segment.
The NetScreen-1000ES is available now for a base price of $65,000.
Cisco's PIX 535 firewall appliance (see review) sports a 1G bit/sec firewall and supports 100M bit/sec Triple-DES encryption via a VPN accelerator card (VAC).
The nine-slot PIX 535 chassis supports one- or four-port 100M bit/sec Ethernet cards to connect with LAN devices, a Gigabit Ethernet uplink card and a VAC that performs encryption with its own processors.
The device includes intrusion-detection capabilities for about 50 standard attacks and can be configured to block them and trigger alarms if those attacks are under way.
Cisco sells a base model of the PIX 535 as well as an enhanced model that increases RAM from 12M bytes to 1G byte and includes software that enables the box to fail over to a standby PIX 535.
The PIX 535 is available this month at a base price of $60,000, and a price of $75,000 for increased RAM and failover capability. Cisco VACs cost $7,500.

Wow thanks for the DD!!!
This was originally a concept for a valentines, but that was many moons ago ^_^"
Wow thanks for the DD!!!
Daily DeviationGiven 2012-06-27
Long Distance by *P-Shinobi is a piece with an interesting concept, complimented by its effective use of white space and crisp cel-shading. ( Suggested by rioIu and Featured by Miss-It-Girl )
Great image!
Amazing how one picture can tell a little story, with no words. I really like the cat, it almost looks like it was made i 3D. Perhaps it was? And the girl is so proffessionally drawn. It reminds me of a style of a certain anime. Maybe it was Bakemonogatari
Just wanted to say: I stumbled onto this in the crunchyroll store and spent like a half-hour trying to find the anime it was based on would love to see a short or a full on show based on the concept (had me thinking about something like a cross between serial experiments lain and time of eve for some reason)
I just got this poster from you and all I have to say is THANK YOU!!! This is an amazing picture that I will always cherish.
Ahhhhhh that's so sweet~ x3 It's really pretty too I like the concept. I've never seen it before- it's original.
Congrats on the DD
Random cats make everything better, don't they?

Turtle Twilight

"Turtle Twilight" is a two-screen video installation. Paragraphs of text adapted from a travel blog type across the left-hand screen. A computer-generated image of a tropical sunset is slowly animated on the right-hand screen. The two screens are accompanied by an atmospheric stock music track.
This work examines how we construct, represent and deploy 'nature' in our contemporary lives. It mixes cinematic codes with image, text and sound gleaned from online sources. By extending on Nicolas Bourriad's understanding of 'postproduction' and the creative and critical strategies of 'editing', it questions the relationship between contemporary screen culture, nature, desire and contemplation.

I can't be a nun. By your logic, I'm being wronged. I'm a victim here of gyno-centrism and you're calling me "dumb".. "sniff"<quoted text>
i can get a lot more crass with people like you who "choose" to play stupid. Mary is nothing more than a statue and that is exactly why she was propped up to draw in the goddess worshipping pagans.
A penis is "a" requirement, continue to play dumb. nuns are not allowed in the governing Dan.....they have "vaginas' and are banned. Keep up the dumb blonde act you wear it well.
Sorry you feel that way about Mary. In truth, Mary IS the most venerated human being who ever lived, and that's due to the Church recognizing her as such.

Lupita Nyong'o, Academy Award winning actress, was named the new celebrity face of Lancome ala ambassadress. Lupita stood out in every way possible with her talent, good looks and noticeably flawless personality and it made everyone wonder- What cosmetic brand would be her new home? I remember asking this question on Twitter and readers responded with brands like MAC, NARS, and Becca. Now the guessing can end because it's confirmed, it's Lancome.
Lancome is a French. luxury fragrance and cosmetic house known for their love for Academy Award winning actresses (Lupita is their 4th ambassadress that's won an Academy Award). She joins the likes of Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet and Julia Roberts for what seems to be a prestigious place in the cosmetic world.
When asked why Nyong'o was chose, Lehman explained: "[she is] a strikingly beautiful and intelligent woman, serenely but strongly living her life her own way, Lupita has this special kind of aura both enlightening and deep."
I think she is a perfect fit for the brand and I'm excited to see what's to come of this collaboration with the brand.

The demise of their marriage has been no secret, and now viewers can see the up-close and personal details behind Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' split.
An emotional Kim explodes in this sneak peek, giving a taste of what's to come on this weekend's season finale of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York."
Relationships come and go as people seek out that special someone to spend the rest of their days with, and Hollywood certainly sees its fair share of unsuccessful tries at love.
The year of 2011 witnessed a number of high-profile marriages, though there were just as many couples who decided that it just wasn't meant to be.
Tinseltown romance has always been a fun phenomenon to observe, and over the past year we've seen a plethora of celebrities fall in love, get engaged, and tie the knot.
Britney Spears made headlines this month by accepting a marriage proposal from her longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick. The "Toxic" songstress will walk down the aisle a third time in the months to come.
Getting his life back in order after his divorce from Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries has re-signed to play for the New Jersey Nets, his team from last season.
The 26-year-old basketball stud will rake in $8 million for the next year, which is definitely enough cash to help him forget his heartbreak.
Speaking out for the first time since news broke of his trade from the L.A. Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks, Lamar Odom is addressing all areas of his life including what it will be like facing off against ex brother-in-law Kris Humphries.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Kris Humphries was not angered when asked about Kim Kardashian during his interview on "Good Morning America" this morning (December 9).
The soon-to-be-divorced NBA hunk was said to be furious that Kardashian was brought up, supposedly "telling people he felt ambushed" during the discourse.
He's been through the ringer over the past few months, and Kris Humphries appeared on "Good Morning America" today (December 9) to show that he's still alive and kicking.
The soon-to-be-divorced NBA stud, who ended his marriage with Kim Kardashian after 72 days, explained that he's not interested in dwelling in the past.
It's no secret that things between Kris Humphries and the Kardashian family are strained, but now there are reports that the famous showbiz family is taking aim at Kim's ex-husband with tabloid rumors.

Great! Thanks Karl
The Christmas/Hanukkah holidays are fast approaching, and you may be attending festivities where alcohol might be served, I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us (me) have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had some rather nice Woodford Reserve. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before - I took a cab home.
I arrived back safely and without incident, which was a real surprise since I had never driven a cab before, and I'm not sure where I got this one...........
Merry Christmas all.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
Great! Thanks Karl
Now, to find the cabbie with your car!! I hate that when that happens!! Merry Christmas Karl and thanks for a year full of good houmor!!
