BRANDY AND SCOTT'S WEDDINGAugust, 2008 in Plymouth
"Example: Our wedding was great! We were looking for a relaxed atmosphere where everyone could have a good time and celebrate, and that's exactly what we got. Our guests still tell us how much fun they had. I would certainly recommend considering Bournedale as an alternative to the formal (and pricey) country club or hotel atmosphere."

"This band was fantastic. They kept our guests onthe dance floor the whole time and even got an encoure at the end of te night that they played another song for. The lead guitarist,Gary Backstrom, played acoustic guiatar for the ceremony. Couldn't have been happier with the music for the ceremony and reception."

"The reception was a blast. We chose to do a clam bake for the meal where guests could choose steak, lobster or a pre-selected vegetarian alternative. The coordinator was efficient but relaxed keeping everyone calm and made sure everyone was having a good time...and we definately did. After the reception, there was a bonfire on the beach and all of the guests (prob about half) who wanted to stay slept over at no cost to them in the camp bunks."

ST4000 Auto-Helm
I am looking into the purchase of a C&C 30 with a Auto-helm ST4000 with is this an out dated system. it has wind direction, wind Speed, Trim, Depth, Hull speed, Ect. Just worndering if it is good electronics or out dated stuff?
I guess the answer is - Is it in good working order?
I dont think you buy the boat with the old electronic gear, you just buy teh boat and accept or replace where needed.
Previously installed gear is dubious by nature so probably should not be the selling point anyway. The integrity of the yacht, its rig, engine etc are primary. Brokers will enjoy listing and pushing all the 'other' stuff on a boat.
Dubious is right
Here is the set.
Thanks again for your advice.
Cheers, Curtis:confused:
That's all good quality stuff. I used an A4000+ autopilot for way over a decade and then replaced it with a new Raymarine X-5. My old system went onto a friends 38' boat and it's still working fine.
What model series are the other instruments? I installed a set of Raymarine St-60's in 2002 and they still work like new.
No matter what kind of instruments you have, "plus One" on the advice in reply #2.
ps: which C&C 30? The 70's version is considered one of the very best of the "modern classics".
Its good gear :LB (Olsen) is very correct
Now the next issue is for you to install it properly.
Saying this; I spent quite a few years and lets say a few nm with just an echo sounder and a garmin 12 (replacing the 38). To see where the wind was coming from and its strength, I look up!
So, a lot of instrumentation is very nice, but if you havent got it or it is old and dubious, look at the telltales. I do this in spite of having wind instruments.
Anyway, sounds like you have a well respected yacht. Have you got any pics of it?

Here is a short video with some nice shots of the boat:cool:

Data released by the US Commerce Department has given global markets cause for concern, revealing that retail sales for the country had slowed down in the month of June.
Although a gain of 0.4% for the month was realised in retail and food services sales, analysts had expected a gain of 0.7% to complement May's 0.5% increase. Meanwhile, retail sales remained flat when sales of motor vehicles and parts were excluded from the reading.
Ryan Sweet, an analyst for Moody's Analytics, said, "June retail sales puts spending on a weaker trajectory heading into the third quarter. This is troubling, as the consumer has been shouldering the recovery this year." Furthermore, the fact that the slight growth recognised had been driven by auto sales reflected even less confidence in the general economy, as these sales are normally only occasional purchases.
Other key statistics included on the report showed that spending at restaurants and bars had fallen by 1.2% to add to May's fall in the same sector, whilst grocery store sales also decreased as consumers set aside more money for climbing petrol prices.
As confidence around the globe remains subdued (with China's future growth potential still on investors' minds, as well as the US Federal Reserve hinting at tapering off its bond buying program), consumer confidence in Australia could also begin to diminish in the near future. If this eventuated, companies like Myer (MYR.AX) or Harvey Norman (HVN.AX) could be affected for the short to medium terms.
When retailers are affected, shopping centre group Westfield (WDC.AX) could also fall in value, due to its reliance on retailers for revenues from rent. However, investors need to realise that short-term setbacks for quality companies can present as excellent buying opportunities.
Foolish takeaway
Despite the disappointing data, retail sales for the US are still up by 5.7% since June 2012, whilst the April-June quarter as a whole also reflected better market conditions than the same period last year, with sales up by 4.6%.

Broadway's Steven Lutvak, Jeanine Tesori, Davd Yazbeck and More Set for Library of Congress's 2014-15 Concert Season
The 2014-2015 season of "Concerts from the Library of Congress" brings a stellar roster of performers, ensembles and scholars from around the world in commemoration of the 150th birthday of founding patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. The concerts are complemented by guest speakers, curators, panels, film screenings and displays of rarely seen manuscripts, letters and memorabilia from the Library's holdings. Concerts kick off Saturday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m. with a performance by gospel and soul music legend Mavis Staples.
The Library's 89th concert season celebrates American performers and music through performances by some of the nation's most legendary musicians. They include popular Broadway composers Steven Lutvak ("A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder"), Jeanine Tesori ("Thoroughly Modern Millie" and "Caroline, or Change") and David Yazbek ("The Full Monty" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"); and performers Etienne Charles (Creole Soul) and Nels Cline of Wilco, who explore the potential for label-defying music to embrace diversity in the national community.
Other highlights include a series of concerts and symposia celebrating the Irving Fine Centennial and an all-star field of chamber-music artists, including the St. Lawrence String Quartet and the Chiara String Quartet, with both ensembles performing on the Library's Stradivari instruments. Several special evenings bring together distinguished artists for one-of-a-kind concerts, including musicians well-known to chamber audiences - pianist Wu Han, cellist David Finckel, violist Paul Neubauer and violinist Daniel Hope - offering piano quartets by Mozart, Brahms and a very young Gustav Mahler. Two of Great Britain's favorite chamber music partners - tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Julius Drake - offer a new take on Schubert's song cycle "Winterreise," paired with the U.S. launch of Bostridge's forthcoming book on the songs.
Continuing the Library's tradition of supporting today's music, five Library commissions receive their premieres this season. These include new works by John Adams (St. Lawrence String Quartet), Jefferson Friedman (Chiara String Quartet and Simone Dinnerstein), Jennifer Higdon (Robert Spano, Roberto Díaz, Curtis Chamber Orchestra), George Lewis (Ensemble Dal Niente) and Kaija Saariaho (Jennifer Koh, Anssi Karttunen and Benjamin Hochman).
"Concerts from the Library of Congress" has joined forces with two new collaborators for the 2014-2015 season. The Library Late series is now presented in association with BrightestYoungThings, a web magazine and event production-experiential marketing agency based in Washington, D.C. and New York City. In addition, BrightestYoungThings and DC blog DCist present a new film series, "Film Nights with Pat Padua." Taking advantage of the unparalleled film collections at the Library's Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation in Culpeper, Va., Padua will introduce and screen films in two mini-series: "Directed by Ken Russell" and "The 80s: The Decade That Musicals Forgot."
Finally, there will be numerous special lectures, panels, interviews and conversations with performers, composers and scholars. Technofiles explores how technology affects the ways we create, perform and experience music. Tony Award-winning playwright and songwriter Stew ("Passing Strange") talks with The Studio Theatre's Adrien-Alice Hansel about his work. The popular #DECLASSIFIED series returns, offering up intimate encounters with artifacts and ideas: "mano a mano y mano a mano" (piano duet treasures from the Library's archives); "Musical Lobbyists"; "IRENE"; and "Fly Space: Inside the Minds of Theatrical Directors and Designers."
The "Concerts from the Library of Congress" series is made possible through the generous support of endowments given to the Library by private donors. The series is presented free of charge to the public but requires tickets for admission. Tickets for programs in the Coolidge Auditorium are distributed by Ticketmaster at (202) 397-7328, (410) 547-7328 and (703) 573-7328. Various ticketing service charges apply. Tickets for events presented at the Atlas Performing Arts Center are available through the Atlas Box Office at (202) 399-7993 or www.atlasarts.org.

How demographics matter in B2B tech adoption
Posted by Tom Grant on March 11, 2010
In case you wanted to attend tonight's open house on the demographics of B2B technology adoption, here's a pertinent diagram from a recent publication on the subject. As you can see, when they look for information, two people in the same department—an application developer and an enterprise architect—go to very different sources.
- Conclusion 1: Demographics matter. A lot.
- Conclusion 2: If you say that your target customer is developers, you need to take a big product marketing time-out. Not all development professionals are the same. Now march up to your room and think about that.
As important as conclusion 1 may be, it's not exactly profound. Sure, we all know that people are different, but what are the significant differences? And how should these variations affect the way we market our technology to rank-and-file developers versus the fancy-pants enterprise architects?
Many efforts at persona development break down at the very beginning, with the question, How many different personas do I need? There's no obviously correct answer to that question, especially when you haven't seen the data that indicates which demographic differences are significant, and which aren't. (Leaving aside the practical question of how many personas you can actually produce.)
Therefore, the important question is not whether demographics matter, but how they matter. Many marketers jump at this point several chapters ahead in the story, to the part where they pick the marketing tools that will wow the socks off these two audiences. However, that's extremely premature, since you don't know yet what kind of information these people want. Chances are, they're not interested in how great you are, but in what information you can provide that will make them healthier, slimmer, and more attractive. (Or at the very least, reduce the number of on-the-job headaches.) Your product might be part of that story, but it's often a small part.
Context matters. Factors like company size, country, and role have more of an effect than many people realize. IT managers in one country might gleefully gobble up any information you can provide about best practices for implementation. In a neighboring country, these very same people might say, "Hmmm, that's very nice, but we know what we're doing, thank you." If that doesn't have an affect on your marketing mix, I don't know what else would.
My point isn't to frighten you into paralysis, because the world is too complex for any mere marketer to conquer with some laughably generic messaging and collateral. These differences are discoverable, and the over time, you'll learn how to speak effectively to particular audiences. The big mistake is to act as though these differences don't exist at all, or don't matter enough to deserve your attention (usually because your product is so fantastic that it defines a new market, has no competitors, makes the stars fall from the sky, yadda yadda). Help exists, too, such as channel partners who already understand the idiosyncracies among stakeholders in particular markets. If you're looking for the ROI of this learning process, take a minute to calculate the cost of product launches that target the wrong people.
application developer vs. enterprise architect
Comment from null on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 06:33
Hi Tom,
Application developers are always looking for new technology.
CTOs, product managers, technical leads, anyone in application development industry are constantly looking for the next "big thing".
"The challenge", "using cutting-edge technologies", "being ahead of the crowd" – is always priority number one for technology companies and their teams.
Therefore the marketing new technology to application developers should be easier than to enterprise architects.

Mayor Bloomberg Promotes Exercise-Friendly Architecture To Fight Obesity
Designers are given a chance to help promote healthy living across New York City.
Architects often see stairs as a design feature that takes up a lot of space, as well as something that isn't able to add much to a building's overall aesthetic. In an attempt to get people exercising more, the Mayor of New York is trying to bring stairs to the forefront – quite literally.
The Center for Active Design was recently set up to combat the tendency for architects and planners to value convenience, which often leads to a more sedentary lifestyle, and in many cases, obesity.
By making architects part of the solution, the city aims to facilitate designs that encourage people to move around more often, whether they're inside a building, or out on the streets.
Taking the stairs instead of an elevator, or an escalator, can do wonders for your health – even it's only two minutes every day.
Four key concepts that the center aims to adhere to are:
- Active buildings: encouraging greater physical movement within buildings for users and visitors;
- Active transportation: supporting a safe and vibrant environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders;
- Active recreation: shaping play and activity spaces for people of different ages, interests, and abilities; and
- Improving access to nutritious foods in communities that need them most.
Mayor Bloomberg talked about how New York was a leader when it came to encouraging healthy eating, and there was no reason why it couldn't also become a leader when it comes to promoting more exercise.
One issue that may stand in the way is the number of safety concerns and security measures that are often taken in New York. Many emergency exits and stairwells are alarmed, making it impossible to use the stairs even if you wanted to.
New legislation will try and combat this issue, offering ways around the alarms so that people can use the stairs more often. There is also the option of an alternative staircase that office workers can actually use, completely separate from the "emergency only" option.

In a beige hotel room a shamrock-green bag hangs from a lamp. Scattered across every surface are necklaces, sunglasses, perfume bottles, belts and bracelets. On the carpet is a high-heel assault course, perilous to anyone crossing in the dark or drunk. The room looks like the aftermath of many a girl's getting ready session — except all the accessories are Chanel.
Although the fashion house's spring/summer advertising campaign features supermodel Stella Tennant and rising stars of the catwalk Ondria Hardin and Yumi Lambert, it's this model-free image that has captured the imagination. And in the latest Dior ads the label's handbags get equal billing to actress Marion Cotillard. In one shot Cotillard stares lustfully at a bag; in another, she's turned her back on it, as if irked it is stealing her limelight.
These ads reflect the ever-increasing importance of accessories to fashion houses. Forget the clothes on models' backs: bags and perfume are the major moneyspinners in luxury goods. No wonder Hermès — purveyor of the ultimate arm candy (one of its Birkin bags costs between £6,000 and £100,000 and Victoria Beckham has 100 of them) — reported a 26 per cent jump in profits for last year, to €1.12 billion.
And it's not just the fashion titans reaping the rewards of our obsession. English accessories-only labels — such as handbag designer Anya Hindmarch and cordwainer Nicholas Kirkwood — are proving that you no longer need a ready-to-wear collection to grab attention or to start building a superbrand.
"Margins on accessories tend to be much higher than those on ready-to-wear," explains Imran Amed, founder of the Business of Fashion website. "That's probably because a bag is something you carry every day, so consumers may be willing to pay more, whereas people don't like wearing the same dress twice. And from a planning perspective bags and accessories are easier to manage because they don't have sizes — you don't need to make sure that the right dress in the right size is in the right shop for the right customer."
Moreover, accessories are more accessible. And now — while budgets are squeezed — labels want to attract every customer they can. "Anyone looking to buy into a brand can buy a bag," says Amed. In other words, you don't need the figure of a Victoria's Secret model to look good carrying a Charlotte Olympia clutch.
In the past, accessories-only labels, which lacked catwalk shows, struggled to receive anywhere close to the press coverage of clothing brands. So even Louis Vuitton — best known for its bags — produces clothing collections.
But accessories designers such as Anya Hindmarch are now carving another path. For her show at London Fashion Week last month, Hindmarch's team built an intricate set using 50,000 dominos. In the ultimate in handbag theatre (which you can watch on the label's website), as the dominos tumbled, next season's totes and clutches were revealed.
Meanwhile, the new king of the high heel Nicholas Kirkwood has shown his business nous by teaming up with British ready-to-wear labels Erdem and Peter Pilotto for their shows, getting his shoes on the catwalk, into the press and into the hearts of stiletto-obsessives.
His efforts were rewarded in January when he became the first accessories designer to win the British Fashion Council/ Vogue Designer Fashion Fund, beating high-profile labels Mary Katrantzou and Roksanda Ilincic. It will give Kirkwood £200,000 to grow his label, as well as mentoring from a bevy of senior figures in the industry, guaranteeing him propulsion into the style super league.
So now more than ever in fashion, it's all about the money bags and the golden slippers.

Something Strawberry taught me years back was to write the list of meals I'd shopped the fixings for, and each day, you pick one, and cross it off the list.
I hated planning menus before that, it felt like a straight jacket but with that simple tip, I became a born again menu planner.
She gave me flexibility and I could go from there.
I started small, and did a week at a time. I still think in one week segments even though I plan 2 weeks at a time.
Without those menus planned, and the fixings to make them on hand I wouldn't be able to manage on our budget. It's quite a wonderful saving of money.
I plan mine around payday which is every two weeks.
My shopping list and menu plan are intertwined. Here is what it looks like:
I usually pencil in my menus for 2 weeks on the top left corner of a notebook refill page. That way if something becomes impossible, too costly, or I find a better deal, I change my menu on the spot. A good menu plan should be flexible to take advantage of deals.
Near that is a list of OAMC recipes, or freezer stuff I want to make this payday. This payday for example I've been concentrating on making breakfasts for the freezer.
On the other side is stuff I need to buy to complete those recipes, both the menu items, (some are from my previous OAMC sessions, and won't need extra) and the OAMC recipes I'm planning to make.
Below that in the bottom half of the sheet of paper is columns for each store I visit, and a list of good deals that I want for my pantry or freezer from that store.
I start shopping with my super cheapest prices overall store, and try and get as much as possible there. I get the "must buy" list there. That is things that aren't on special anywhere, but I need them anyway.
Then I hit the specials (cherry picking it's called) at the other stores.
When I get home, I stick the rather wrinkled, scribbled on mess that is my menu and shopping list, on the fridge.
It's also my reminder list that I'm making breakfast burritos (2 dozen) and 24 servings of breakfast quiche and 12 servings of omelet rolls today

I used to do this-a month at a time, but found that I couldn't work that far ahead, although I did like having a general plan for a moth at a time.
It did not work for me because of the way I shop-I do a once a month shop and fill in around the edges with loss leaders. I buy beef by the side, so always have that in the freezer, and potatoes by the bushel in the fall, so is nothing else we can have beef - n - taters. Or something with hamburg..
But I need to get back to having some kind of plan even if it is only a week or 2 at a time, because I need to have a plan for meals. My kids nutrition is sorely lacking LOL01-07-2004, 11:50 AM #18
I would be lost without menu planning. I have done it for so many years that it's second nature to me.
Sometimes I plan monthly and sometimes bi-weekly. I think it works well for me because I stay very flexible and my menu is based on the food already in the house. I generaly only pick up fresh produce and the odd ingredient. I shop for specials not for my menu.
For me, I don't plan what we'll eat on a certain day. I just list 14 or 30 days worth of meals and when I wake up I pick that days meal and grab the meat out of the freezer.
Tuesdays are rushed dinners so I take that into consideration in my planning. Dinners need to be quick and easy to clean up. Saturday I almost always make a double recipe of stew, roast, spaghetti, or casserole for example. I very rarely cook a big meal on Sunday, we just heat up Saturdays leftovers.
It works for meSponsored Links Remove Advertisements01-07-2004, 09:47 PM #19
I like to plan the menu for a weeks time. That's about as far as I can get, but it works well for me. I try to look at what I have in the freezer and pantry, then what's on sale at the store. It helps me with our budget to plan ahead of time.01-08-2004, 07:47 AM #20

Yes, I make a month of menus, it saves me money and keeps impulse buys to a minimum. I have an Aldis near here and I will go there at the start of each month to stockpile canned goods, pasta, spices, cooking oil, condiments, flour, sugar, baking ingredients like chocolate chips, pecans and other nuts, frozen meat, fish, chicken, and I get my butter and cheese here too.
After I'm done in that store I go to the Dollar General Store and Walmart(I buy the huge 24 roll pack of Angel Soft Bathroom tissue, I hate running out of that stuff. lol
The only thing I get weekly is milk and lettuce.01-08-2004, 07:58 AM #21
Yes, I would be lost without one! since I do OAMC I too make a list simular to the one Strawberry and canadian gardener do. I plan, purchase then create! I've been doing OAMC for about 3 Years now, and it just works for us.01-08-2004, 09:24 AM #22
I used to do this years ago( 20 to be exact) when I was an Air Force wife...I need to do it again, even though its only dh and I01-08-2004, 09:37 AM #23
I like to try to have at least 2 weeks worth of menus done at a time. I find that I save so much money by knowing what I am cooking each night. I am pretty flexible about it though, if my menu says I am having goulash on Monday but DH wants chicken and dumplings, I don't mind changing the plan as long as I have time to get the meat thawed out.
I try to do at least half of my meal plans using crockpot meals because of the 12 hour shifts that I work. I also do planned leftovers as part of my menu plans too. I am making pot roast today and we will have pot roast for supper and on Sunday I will be making french dip sandwiches from the left overs.01-09-2004, 10:26 AM #24

76 in November.
Taurus .357, Springfield v10 45, Berretta Cheeta 84FS.
I'm 20. I will be turning 21 later on this year.
76 in November.
Taurus .357, Springfield v10 45, Berretta Cheeta 84FS.
I am 63, and new to the forum. I have 18 guns on my carry permit, and carry both revolver (usually S&W) and semi's (several makes). If it goes boom, I like it.
The only revolvers I own are a pair of twin smith and wesson .22's, my grandfather gave them to me when I was young because he knew I liked pistols (although he would have rather had me be a shotgunner) they are beautiful for this reason. However, the reliability on them in not well, if you don't take care of your revolver, it will go to hell. Thats why i like polymer pistols (i take very good care of them) but I don't have to...
I think my grandfather also left me before his passing, a .44 Colt Python and a .380 PPk, my uncle took them though (his right because it was his father) but still I do wish I would have gotten these, how fun would a .44 wheel gun be? Screw the ppk...lol (ok Id like it too)
66 YO here. I own a few semi autos but I started with a Colt Bisley in 1956 and have preferred revolvers ever since, my current passion is older Colt DA, mostly 38 and 32 caliber. I have Colt, S&W, Ruger, Taurus, Rossi and have had Iver Johnson, H&R, and a few others over the years. Now, at this time in my life I shoot revolvers so that I don't have to pick up my cases, I just eject them into the collector ammo can, makes shooting much more enjoyable.
Gah! I can't believe I was swindled into participating in this poll... I thought I was a lady.
21-29 eh?
This poll is really interesting. The number of people above 50 is nearly equal to the number below. It's weird to me, several other forums I'm involved with maybe have a handful of folks over 50...
wonder why so many on a handgun site? people into handgun's live longer? :P or....
im 18 and would rather have a revolver over a simi-auto any day of the week the revolves have a way longer and cooler history behind them to! i curently have 5 revolvers tht were all pasted to me from my dad and both my grandfathers! so just because someone is young doesnt always mean they r into the latest stuff!

I am 45 and have a Kimber covert as my CCW. I do have a S&W model 36 in my small collection.
Older than dirt, and I carry a semi-auto. Been shootin' all my life.
Poncaguy-- you know what, I think you are absolutely correct....I first bought a SR9....shot it thought wow...that's a big gun....the trigger was snappy and...hopefully, I'll get better...then I found a Sig 250sc 9mm....love the size..love the feel, the trigger is something I am having to get use to...as a carry piece I think it probably is perfect, but the snappy feel of the Ruger's trigger is always in the back of my mind....Now, I need to get a Ruger SR9c....oh well,...but Ruger is incredible. I do appreciate the long trigger now that I realize Sig designed the SubCompact as a carry gun....I look at them as what I can shoot well and what fits me. I have never been big on carrying because of the consequences that may happen...but for a range pistol I love the Ruger's trigger.
I'll be 57 in a couple months............had a S&W 19 when I was alot younger, and a 686....no wheel guns now...all autos......I got hooked on Beretta's and never looked back.....
Just by the poll , there is life times of knowledge here and that is a great thing , everything from new and exciting ways to think to hard core experience. It's my honor to be a part of the young and old , thank you for letting me be a part of this!
Still goes back to car guy ford chevy arguement.I'm 57 and love both equally except for a polymer frame.Weight reduction is nice but the drawback is increased recoil.I read a article on a test for weapon choice for women.The polymer frame .380 was the least favorite because of recoil.Yes I'm so old I dust,but I prefer all steel in my weapon.Plastic is fine for grips but that is all in my book.The same was said about Eugene Stoners M-16 when 1st fielded in large numbers.It was called a mattel toy.It is now an iconic battle proven weapon system.Now alot of high grade rifle stocks are fiberglass or polymer based.I like a good quality snubby with a bobbed or shrouded hammer for the fact it can be fired through a jacket pocket without binding or a contact against shot fired without binding in the clothing with in which a semi could possibly bind up when the slide cycles.I carry a small CZ-82 because I am comfortable with carrying a 1911 in cocked and locked but this one has the ability to carry with hammer at half cock against a transfer bar like a revolver making 1st shot double action without worrying about a safety lever .The pull is a little stiffer but after the 1st round it has a great pull and I have 12 more rounds available.
I am only 23 I have 2 semi autos but I love the .357 and intend on getting a lcr
I was almost to the top of that list. Damn.

BBC Big Block Questions
I'm Looking for a complete BBC engine and kinda need to know what to look 4, as far as yrs, block, heads ect. I'm thinking a older bbc like mid to late 60s to early 80s I know where some are, but I need to go look and see whats available is a 2bolt block ok or look more for a 4 bolt ? what about some info from you bbc guys on the 90s bbc motors ? this will not be a all out performance engine for now, butt never know about the future. I'm looking 4 something I can rebuild a couple Xs over the next few yrs. it will be put down the track a few Xs a yr plus some daily driving (on fair weather days) this is going in a 72 chevy swb p/u with a 400th tranny & 390 geared ford 9" with a ladder bar suspension.
thanks guys
Look for a block with 289 as the last digits in the casting number. Also look for oval port heads with either 781 or 049 as the last digits.
About the only "undesirable" Big Block would be the 366 truck. Small bore/tall deck. These have a dual thermostat intake with a governed carb/distrib. Also a very deep cast balancer on the front.
Anything else is buildable 396-502 Two bolts are great, unless you are doing a max-horsepower Nitro/blown engine. Same goes for forged cranks.
pre 1990 trucks have the bst shortblocks,but the heads are junk.1970 thryu 76 passenger cars have o.k. shortblocks but the hads are better for mid level perfromance buildups.2 bolt of 4 bolt is no big deal at under about 1000 hp and 8000 rpm.Stock cast cranks are good to aout 700rpm and 650 hp depending in how you are making the horsepower{a 7000 rpm n/a engine making 650hp is harder on a crank then a 650hp nitrous engine that only spins 5500rpm}
The only upside to the truck shortblocks is the better rods in the 454's and tall deck engines,and the passenger car shortblocks are a good match to the stock passenger car heads since both are good for a lowbuck 550 hp buildup,but require upgrading beyond that point.The stock pasenger car heads can b upgraded to make 650hpif you dont mind sinking some money into them,but a far better choice would be to go a litle further and get some aluminum heads.If you are planning for aftermarket heads,then the truck shortblock is a better deal.
1990 and later shortblocks are o.k. and parts are available to build them up like any pre 1990 shortblock.The downside to them is that allthe heads are junk for anything but the mildest truck buildup.If you wanted to build a mid priced 454 for the street,you can do well with a 90's era 454 shortblock freshened up and fitted with the GMPP or Edelbrock rectoval heads and a hyadraulic roller cam if you can find a shortblock that came with one.
So that is pretty much where it is at.Good luck.
Thanks Everyone, the 550HP range would be right about where I was Thinking. I was Planing or Hoping for a older Big Block and some decent stock GM Iron heads. so the tall deck truck engines are decent ? I guess I thouht I had heard to go with any thing but the tall deck blocks, do you need to deck the tall deck blocks or they are fine ?
Tall decks use different intakes and other internal parts (push rods, rods or pistons) and are really kinda different animals... A reg std. deck is easier to build and for a street/strip engine will do just fine... A true 550hp BBC with oval port heads street-able compression is not to hard to build and with mostly stock componets... The above mentioned parts will do the trick with just minor upgrades and good matching of parts a "Rat" will push that 72 rather nicely... :thumbup:
Check out my photo album it does 12.5`s (on the street and is just a little 427... Will have some new pic`s of the body work that has been done so far...
your truck is what i'm after s far as motor and Box and look, did you shorten a LWB frame ? if so can you give me the measurements on the LWB & SWB & how much you shortened the frame ? what did you have to do to get the late model box on your frame as far as mounts ect. ? I was hoping to use the stock gas filler neck on the late model box and a frame mounted tank, there are some other good ideas on this thread 4 that too.

The relationship between size, growth and profitability of commercial banks
Using a dynamic panel model for more than 15 000 banks from 148 countries from 1988 to 2010, we investigate the interaction between size, growth and profitability of banks. For our total sample, we cannot reject the hypotheses that the variability of bank profitability and the level and variability of bank growth are independent of bank size. However, in high-income Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries bigger banks grow slower but are more profitable than small banks. While bank growth is not persistent, bank profitability is persistent. Finally, we find that bank growth and bank profitability are independent of each other.

A young Franciscan monk, who was kidnapped and killed by the military during Argentina's dirty war of the late 1970s, could be the first person beatified under the reign of Pope Francis, it emerged today.
An hour or so after white smoke first poured from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine chapel, Jorge Mario Bergoglio emerged in white papal robes on to the balcony of St Peter's to announce his election as Pope Francis. Those who had hoped for a leader of the Catholic church who would reflect the faith's growth outside of Europe got their wish - and celebrations continued into the night across Latin America.

I notice lots of references to different carry gear for different seasons/situations, such as big guns in winter, mouse guns in summer, etc. Do many of you carry the same way all the time, regardless? I currently carry the gun shown in my avatar, a grip-chopped 17 with a DeltaPoint reflexive sight in an iwb frankenholster. I can and do often carry a stock Glock 19 in a Brommeland Max-Con V on the opposite side. I also carry one or two TDI Kabars up front. They all ride on a Wilderness Instructor 5-stitch nylon belt. This particular combination all fits comfortably under anything down to cargo shorts and T-shirt. The only time I deviate much is when I am in a suit, when I go with just the 19 in a Max-Con V on the strong side. Who else carries the same set-up all the time?

I pocket carry an LCR every day unless my pant's pockets dictate that I need to carry my LCP.
I carry at 3:00 to 4:00 with several different holsters including leather & nylon. Occasionally I'll carry at rear hip with a more canted holster. It all depends on what I'm wearing. Sometimes I'll even carry appendix if I feel it's easier & faster to draw & present. The nylon holster works good there.

I pocket carry my S&W Bodyguard 380 all the time. I have a Glock model 23 .40 but I haven't carried it in years... it just seems too big and heavy for me to be comfortable. It would be a better defensive gun but the best gun is the one I have with me, and that's the .380.
I carry the same gun all the time a ruger sr9c. Have no idea what clock I carry at lol. It lays right in front of my arm with my arm hanging straight down. Doesn't matter rather I carry on the right or left.

The smallest guns I've ever owned or carried was a Glock 19 and Glock 23. Up until recently, my daily carry was a full size SIG, but I've recently switched to a S&W SD9VE after proving it's reliability. I have a physical build that is very carry friendly, wide shoulders, narrow hips and I get away with carrying OWB in the 3 O'clock position, even in just t-shirts. The full size SIG printed a bit, but the SD9 does not.
I carry my gun in a homemade kydex holster that I made myself. It sports a set of Raven Concealment pancake wings that suck the gun in tight to the body.
Firearm wise I always carry my Glock 19 on me at about 2:30 in an NTAC OWB. At about 9:00 I have a double mag NTAC holster. These are carried on an Ares Gear Ranger belt. In my front left pocket I have my BUG, a Kahr CM9. This is always my set up despite the weather. The only exceptions are if I'm entering a place where it is illegal to carry (no guns) or sometimes at work depending on my attire (no 19 and move CM9 over to front right pocket).
Has been a SW 638 in right front pocket in a DeSantis Nemesis. Lately have been experimenting with AIWB of same @ 2 o'clock. Jury is still out on this one.

Hello Gator Nation! My name is Brad deBorde and I'm incredibly excited about this blog. I am currently a sophomore on the University of Florida Swimming Team, and I must say that I am enjoying every minute of the experience. I compete for the Gators as a sprinter, specializing in the 50m 100m and 200m freestyle and also the 100m butterfly.
As a Gator, I feel very fortunate to be part of one of the premier swimming programs in not only the nation, but in the world. Florida Swimming has produced over 2,300 All-American awards, 125 NCAA titles, 87 Olympians and countless other athletes who have found success at both the national and international levels since the program's inception. In fact, UF swimmers have won medals at the Olympics since 1968, breaking national and world records along the way.
It's quite humbling and, at the same time, invigorating to train in a facility that has developed such decorated champions. Due to the historical success and the amount of talent that this program attracts, I can't imagine going to school or swimming anywhere other than UF.
Another major factor about swimming at the University of Florida is the close bond we have as a team. As I've learned over the past two years, the men's and women's swim teams are as close as any family. The level to which we support and care about each other is unprecedented. It is made even more extraordinary by the fact that both teams incorporate swimmers from every corner of the globe. This is what makes swimming at UF unique.
The UF swim team is known in the athletic community for how hard we train throughout the year. Outside of all the weight-lifting, running, and of course swim practices, we spend a lot of time together. It could be as simple as having a Mario Kart tournament or laying out in the Florida sunshine with some new music, we all love spending time with each other. Any swimmer will tell you that the swim team consists of their closest and best friends. Personally, I have gained a unique understanding of my teammates and have become familiar with their likes and dislikes, favorite foods, bands, songs, etc. Through all of the blood, sweat, and tears we have come to know each other on a very deep level. I would not trade these relationships for the world.
During home football games, we participate in one of the most well known swimming traditions. Every time Florida scores a touchdown, the male swimmers will form a massive dog pile in the stands. This gets us really pumped up and certainly in the mood for another touchdown celebration, since it's so much fun for both the celebration participants and those who are watching.
Throughout my two years here, I have come to know that my experience as a UF athlete has been an irreplaceable part of my life and I am just proud to be a part of it. In just my first day here, I realized that I was part of a bigger picture. Not only had I become a swimmer, but I was now a representative for the Gator Nation. I became a part of a tradition of excellence. The way I felt the first day is the way I still feel today. I am so proud to be a member of such a talented group of individuals who all take such pride and honor in competing for the University of Florida.
I am excited about The Gator Grind blog so that I can share some of the insight into daily life of a swimmer at the University of Florida, beyond what is shown on the stat sheet. Be sure to follow our site for more updates!

Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Association of Animal
Breeders (NAAB). It was formed following a decision made by NAAB delegates in
1975 (29th Annual Meeting,
The organizational meeting of CSS was held in 1976 followed by the hiring of the first Service Director. The CSS audit or inspection program for semen identification was initiated in January 1977. Two years later this program was expanded to include the area of sire health. During the past several years health requirements and procedural standards for health and identification have been modified as conditions in the AI industry and emerging technologies have warranted. However, any changes made in the program are implemented only after thorough review and evaluation.
The CSS structure allows for
additional services to be added to meet the needs of
the AI industry. In 1992 a new program to evaluate AI center management
practices was implemented. Also in 1995 participation in the CSS program was
extended to AI businesses located outside of the
The success of the CSS program has enabled the national animal breeding industry to regulate itself without direct government involvement. Underlying this success is an active effort by each participating organization to operate under principles of integrity and professional competence.
CSS Structure
CSS is registered in
To provide an inspection service to inspect businesses engaged in the processing of livestock semen; to establish standards and rules to assure the authenticity of semen products; to disseminate information concerning the handling and processing of semen; to establish standard procedures for the protection of the user; to establish uniform labeling of semen containers; to facilitate the identification of semen products; and to engage in any other activity for improvement of animal agriculture.
To establish rules and procedures for certification of businesses processing livestock semen.
CSS is managed by a six member Board of Directors that are elected to one year terms by the NAAB shareholders. The chief administrative officer is the President of CSS and the Service Director conducts the audit program. The NAAB Committees, particularly Sire Health and Management have served as important resources and are a sounding board for CSS issues.
CSS is organized so that any AI business engaged in the collection and processing of livestock semen is eligible to participate in and benefit from its services program upon entering an agreement for services. All regular NAAB members though are required to enter into an agreement with CSS as a provision of NAAB membership (successful completion of a CSS audit for semen identification and sire health testing is required before regular member approval by the NAAB Board of Directors). NAAB membership is not required for CSS participation.
Currently there are 33 AI
businesses participating in CSS. This represents 33 principal locations and 17
secondary locations or 50 total audit locations. Audit locations are found in
22 states across the
Distributors who purchase semen for resale directly from CSS approved processing organizations (i.e., that are allowed by agreement with CSS to display the CSS logo in advertising) and only sell CSS processed semen are eligible to participate as a "CSS Exclusive Distributor".
The CSS Service Director annually makes at least one unannounced audit visit to the offices and semen production facilities of each participating AI business. During the audit visit, procedures and records related to semen identification and sire health are objectively reviewed to determine compliance.
A complete report of this review or audit is provided to the president and manager of the AI business audited. The report outlines the identification and sire health procedures followed, and as needed recommends pertinent changes to correct any area not in compliance with the agreement provisions. The audit report is confidential between CSS and the participating organization.
CSS Audit
The central documents that guide the CSS audit are a) the "CSS Agreement for Semen Identification, Semen Quality Control and Sire Health Auditing Service" and b) the "CSS Minimum Requirements for Disease Control of Semen Produced for AI". The "CSS Agreement" outlines the terms and conditions that are agreed to between the participating organization and CSS and outlines specific requirements to be complied with regarding identification and sire health. The "CSS Agreement" runs on a calendar year basis and is automatically renewed January 1 of each year if the provisions have been complied with and a "Statement of Compliance" for the past year has been filed with CSS. The "CSS Agreement" was revised for 2005 and 2011. The 2005 revision placed greater emphasis on certifying the AI business or specific areas within an AI business as "CSS Certified" based on specific Facility Requirements/Agreement Provisions. The CSS Semen Quality Control audit program was added in 2011. Its purpose is to help insure that each breeding unit of semen contains sperm of adequate quality and quantity to achieve normal fertility in producer's herds and to provide more consistency among member AI businesses in their semen quality control procedures.
Identification from point of purchase or custom collection of the sire, throughout processing, distribution to the original point of sale of the processed semen is reviewed during the audit. This involves the Service Director checking on records in several places at the AI business, observing identification procedures and asking employees pertinent questions. Normally the sequence of this evaluation follows the work flow of the production department, beginning in the collection area, then proceeding to the processing laboratory, followed by distribution area. This is followed by the bull housing and isolation facilities and then other departmental offices where pertinent records are evaluated (such as genetics, field services and/or accounting).
Semen Quality Control-
Each organization's semen quality control program documents and procedures are reviewed and observed during the CSS audit and by ad hoc communications. This includes: sperm enumeration procedures and equipment calibration; semen extension rate information and parameters used to determine maximum/minimum sperm per breeding unit; pre-freeze and post-thaw evaluation information; semen discard data; visual post-thaw microscopic evaluation information; written procedures and internal standards; policy for semen quality exceptions ; physical identifier used for below minimum quality.
Sire Health-
The "CSS Minimum Requirements for Disease Control of Semen Produced for AI" outline specific testing procedures for bulls and mount animals before entering isolation, during isolation and for bulls housed in a central location after completing isolation (resident herd). General sanitary conditions and requirements for the addition of appropriate antibiotics to semen and extender to control specific microorganisms are included. The CSS Minimum Requirements represent a comprehensive standard for those diseases proven to be a significant threat to be seminally transmitted by AI. The goal of the CSS Minimum Requirements is to protect the health of the herd in which semen is used.
CSS requirements are minimums that should be followed for domestic use. These requirements have actually become a de-facto national program in the view of regulators. Several participants typically exceed these requirements in their sire health programs. During the audit, various records pertaining to sire health and procedures are checked to determine compliance with the CSS Minimum Requirements. Procedures are observed and checked in animal housing areas, collection area and laboratory. Health test records are checked for completion of the appropriate CSS tests in the veterinary department.
CSS Logo Usage
The CSS sire health program is designed to make a distinction between semen from bulls meeting the CSS Minimum Requirements from those that do not. Consequently, semen from bulls which are maintained under conditions complying with or exceeding the CSS Minimum Requirements may be designated as CSS "Health Certified Semen".
The registered CSS logo may be imprinted only on semen packages containing "Health Certified Semen". The logo may also be displayed in advertising according to provisions in the CSS Agreement.
AI Center Management Practices Evaluation Program
This voluntary program was implemented in January 1992 and is offered to any CSS participating organization wanting to have AI center management practices evaluated. It involves checking compliance with the "CSS Guidelines For AI Center Management Practices" and covers areas of General Welfare, Transportation, Disease Surveillance, Hygiene and Handling, Environment and Facilities, Feeding and Watering, Veterinary and Professional Care and Seminal Collection. It provides a uniform framework for monitoring AI industry management practices and provides documentary evidence that the participating organization and industry is concerned with animal welfare.
This program stems from action taken by the NAAB Board in 1988 to develop industry guidelines for humane husbandry and housing practices for bulls in an AI center environment and to consider their incorporation into the CSS audit. These guidelines were developed by an ad hoc committee.
International Participation
In 1995 the CSS Board of
Directors approved an international CSS participation category to provide a CSS
Semen Identification and Sire Health Auditing Service to AI businesses that are
located outside of the
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with USDA
In 2009 the MOU with USDA-APHIS/Veterinary Services was renewed for another 5-year period. The MOU outlines procedures that will provide a credible means of evaluating the supervision provided to CSS participating semen collection centers by USDA accredited veterinarians and the management of the centers. The MOU is necessary to achieve compliance with importing countries' requirements that USDA approve semen collection centers and that health certified semen be used to produce embryos for export. Under the MOU, NAAB through its subsidiary CSS, agrees to: 1) manage the CSS program as stated in its Bylaws and Agreement; 2) provide USDA an updated list of compliant members on a routine basis; 3) conduct audits with a designated USDA-APHIS veterinarian for at least one of those audits annually; and 4) provide access to audit records of CSS compliant centers maintained at Columbia, Missouri.
Based on CSS audits and USDA inspections, a listing of bovine AI centers approved for export is maintained.

LONDON. Half of all households in Britain could face water restrictions unless exceptionally heavy and prolonged rain falls by April, water companies and the environment agency have warned.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman will hold a crisis meeting of companies, wildlife groups and other river users next week after the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology stated that the average rainfall so far this northern winter has been the lowest since 1972, and the English Midlands and Anglian regions (eastern England) have had their second driest years in nearly a century.
Thames Water, which supplies water to 14 million households and businesses in and around London, appealed to customers to use less.

How do you calculate market share?
please will somebody help me
thanks :)
You need sales data from different companies for a specific product, from all producers. Let's say it is automobiles sold in the USA.
To get Ford's market share, divide the total sales of cars and trucks by Ford and its subsidiaries (Mercury; Lincoln) by the total revenue from car and truck sales in the USA by ALL companies. The answer will be a fraction like 15%.
You could also compute market share using data on the number of units sold, instead of dollar amount, but the answer would be about the same. In the case of manufactured products, the data could come from either retailers or producers.

Exactly why to Acquire the Benefit of Free of charge Stuff regarding Babies
Absolutely free products proposed by companies to boost their promo campaign generally appear suspect to the people. Presently, it is always really hard to believe you are getting a thing for free. Together with, when an individual or firm offers you something without paying an amount, you start taking into consideration the quality of the product and set an askance look at the merchandise regarding the quality as well as other features.
Because of these doubts free stuff for babies, may very well not like to utilize free things for little one as you are never willing to take any sort of threat. But you might be losing some spectacular stuff because of these doubting factors in your head. You might be an authentic person believing in realism but these uncertainties may divest you regarding something that you can obtain absolutely free associated with cost.
I realize we are talking about babies; everybody treats them with care and nobody will ever always be willing to have any kind of possibility regarding the solutions related to them all. But consider for a while of which without the good quality assurance, how a organization can release their product and let their staff members to send out their products possibly free? Assume! It's a really sensitive make a difference because no company would ever like to set bad locations on their prestige. So it's my personal advice to never make your final decision in trouble; give cost-free baby goods a chance and you will probably find your final decision a smart a person.
Look around on the market and try to measure the repute on the different free of charge samples readily available, select the products which is based on the market with good reputation and then make make use of it. Of these assessments, you will find many other persons already applying this free little one stuff; about to catch the only becoming. You will surely find yourself waking up away with a few glorious picks. The free of charge samples could be anything like toys, clothing, toothpastes, locks gel, a fashion magazine plus diapers and so forth With this exercise, what you are gonna lose? In accordance with me, absolutely nothing!
One thing about free baby stuff is that it ought to be considered as bone from the society not only a bane. His or her existence the actual life effortless. There is nothing to fret in acknowledging free stuff from the sales promotion group of a company. You are surly going to enjoy yourself when you find yourself done with this kind of selection. In addition, you can feel a sense of pleasure, pride in addition to achievement because you have grabbed something beneficial for your child without paying anything. And you will definitely surely find your pals rushing on the market to have free examples for their children also soon after hearing from you. You will feel great and happy because you induced your friends to appreciate the same perception of enjoyment and enjoyment by getting the free infant stuff.
As we all know that 'caring is sharing' this action may start from the baby nevertheless no push can stop you from distributing it is benefits.
