must haves/wants
the time is getting closer to us pulling the trigger on a travel trailer. the ones we have been looking at are around 30-35 foot and around 8-10k lbs.
i picked up an OBS f350 srw 2x4 auto with 3.55 gears. suspension is bone stock. and as it stands there is no reciever hitch on the truck.
so ive been searching thru here for a while and have found some good suggestions, but here is my question.
what would yall suggest i should look into. either from a safty stand point, a "this **** is pretty cool" stand point, or "from my expirience you might want/need" stand point.
basically a lot of towing will be local (within an hour or so from home), but there will be some trips from OKC to the Macon GA, south texas, Phoenix Az areas. i got this rig for an awesome deal. id rather dump my money into building what i want, than spending an extra 10k on a newer truck.
so that said:
im sure the gears will be an issue. what is a good all around gear to go with to get a balance of power/mpgs. im guessing a 3.73 at a min, but probobly more around a 4.10? keeping in mind that the truck sits stock, id like to go to a light lift (around the stock height of a 4x4, so tires will get a little larger)
is a air ride system something that will be needed pulling these weights? if not needed is it one of the "nice to haves"
the truck has a trailer brake controller, unknown brand off hand, ill take a look and post up. might need an upgrade?
as far as truck power goes, its stock to the bone. i plan on an intake exhaust a DP tune. possibly some injectors and Hpop at some point. i think this should have plenty of power from what im doing.
any thoughts on tires? something that looks nice but still has a good tow rating?
anything for the interior upgrades? the truck has 265k miles of fat a$$ wearing down my seats. as much as i hate to say it, im looking for some newer chevy cloth seats. we have a work truck thats an 05 2500. feels like im in a recliner.
gauges. fuel presure, trans temp, egt. any point in a boost gauge? or will an egt tell me everything i would see on a boost gauge.?
speaking of trans temps, a trans cooler.... go for a 6.0L cooler or after market?
will an intercooler be worth the investment in the long run?
anyway i know that was a slight ramble, but i know you guys have more honest answers than i can find most anywhere else.
4.10s are nice. you may need to think about upgrading tranny parts: TC, VB, upgraded/second cooler.
intake, exhaust and tune will be fine for what you do. you won't need an IC until you add bigger injectors. Gauges are a MUST EGT, Trans Temp, you can get a boost or fuel pressure or a scan gauge if you want, but those two (EGT trans) you need.
air bags are nice, but a WD hitch is much more important.
personally i would leave the truck lower and run 235/85s E tires with slightly aggressive tread on the rear
that's all i can think of
6.0 ic will work, just need a DIY set up with e99 spider, or banks kit. You need trans and egt, boost is nice too, another good idea is what terry said, upgrade your trans. And go ahead and do a dually swap, I got an axle off a guy in Wichita falls parting out a couple duallys pretty cheap
Let's bump my old thread.
I fully agree with the gauges. I've got an egt on the way and looking for a digital readout setup like what I believe Kris has for everything else.
My wife and I have been out looking at rv's the last few weeks. I think we have it down to 3 of them. All three are between 39 and 42 feet. Weight is around 11k dry and 15ish maxed. Before I let her get her hart set on any of them is this going to be I the realm of possible(safely possible) with my current set up?
Also is there any real way to tell if my trans has been modded without breaking into it? Guy I bought it from seems to think it has had a lot of work done to her for the intent of towing. I have no idea of the t/c is stock. I do know I had about 1900lbs in the back the other day and she drove/shifted like a whole new rig.

Must haves are a weight distribution hitch like "the equalizer", E rated truck tires, and a good brake controller. Next would be tranny temp gauge, everything else would be "nice to have" category. Surely don't "need" airbags, arguably ever. A combined weight distribution/ anti sway hitch is the "must have", the ones with chains on the tension bars are not anti sway. Check out the equalizer it's the most bang for the buck I've got 10s of 1000s of miles on an equalizer and 100s of 1000s of miles of towing time.
with 39-42" im assuming you're talking about a 5th wheel. Air bugs are a must id say. even a loaded 32" 5'ver will squat your truck pretty good.
a lot of people will tell you you need a dually... but how many ccsb trucks do you see hauling huge *** trailers without problems. I have no problems hauling big 5th wheels with my truck. keep your brakes up to par and the trailer brakes up to par. Moniter the essentials and go from there
Dually isn't necessary, but if you ever towed with one you wouldn't want to with anything else ever again

x2, hauling with one is in fact heaven, but youll be fine.

The Globalization and Localization of "Learner-centered" Strategy from an International Horizon
In this article, "Learner-centered" teaching strategy is re-examined from both a macro and micro point to make up for the weaknesses of foreign languages teaching in China. When put in the background of globalization, how to localize it in a specific way suitable for the Chinese students based on their special culture psychology and study environment is of most importance

Ten Games To Watch – #5
Training camp begins next week! We continue to build towards the beginning of the season by counting down the "Ten Games To Watch" for 2009-10. Single game tickets are on sale now!
#5 vs Miami Heat, Wed. Nov. 18, 2009
The Heat are perhaps Atlanta's most bitter rival in the Southeast Division thanks to last year's 7-game playoff series and fun times like the infamous re-do game. The intensity between these two squads always seems to ratchet up a level when they face off (though the closeness of the results may not reflect it), and I don't anticipate that being any different this season. And with improvements in Washington and Charlotte, division wins will be of optimum importance. Miami doesn't look altogether different now than they did at the end of last season, but if an oft-rumored deal for Utah's Carlos Boozer ever goes through it could change things for them immensely.
Match-ups to watch: Joe Johnson vs Dwyane Wade. Was there any doubt?
What do you think?

Jim Suttie: It's time to get fit -- your clubs, that is
NAPLES - How many of you ever look at your equipment and find out if it fits you? We look at our swing but oftentimes we overlook what we are hitting the ball with.
Of course, you can't buy a golf swing but you can give yourself a better chance to learn a swing. It's so hard to teach somebody that has ill-fitted equipment, as I am always trying to put in compensations for the equipment problem. There are several fitting variables that we all must address sooner or later.
Here are some of the most important variables:
Club length: The overall length of the club is quite important. Manufacturers are making clubs longer now, but there is a point where the club becomes too long for the individual golfer. For example, if you are hitting too many off-center hits, you most likely have a club that is too long for you.
Typically, tall golfers need longer clubs, but not in all cases. Golfers with bad backs could also use longer clubs. If golfers has short arms, they will probably needs longer clubs.
And there are some golfers who need shorter clubs. Your body will tell you what you need. A longer club will give you more swing arc, and, therefore, more distance. But, the longer the club is, the heavier it will be. So, be careful.
Lie angle: The lie angle of the club is also an important variable. Generally, shorter golfers will need a flatter lie angle, whereas taller players will need a more upright lie angle. If you hit a lot of shots toward the toe of your club and your ball tends to fade to the right, you probably have a lie angle that is too flat for you.
On the other hand, if you hit a lot of shots toward the heel of the club and your ball is always pulling to the left, then your lie angle is probably too upright for your swing. If the toe of the club is up in the air at address, the lie angle is too upright for you.
Shaft flex: The shaft is the engine of the swing. It is probably the most important element of the fitting process. Shafts are all different. There are some made of steel and some made of graphite.
The fitter has to be most precise in determining if the shaft fits the individual's swing. Most fitters fit the shaft with a launch monitor, where the monitor determines how fast the swing speed is at impact. Unfortunately, this is a very poor way to fit, because the club could be decelerating at impact speed rather than accelerating.
In my opinion, the best way to fit the shaft is by fitting according to where the release or the unloading of the shaft occurs. Since everybody releases at a different point, fitting a shaft to your impact speed is a waste of time.
The ball flight will give you a pretty good indication of the stiffness of the shaft and whether the shaft fits you or not. For example, if the ball goes to the left, you most likely have a shaft that is too stiff for you, because you are flexing it too early, and the clubhead is passing the hands at impact.
On the other hand, in most cases, if the ball goes to the right, you probably have a shaft that is too flexible for you as the clubhead is lagging back too far behind the hands at impact. The shaft gives you the feel of the clubhead. If the ball feels like a board when you hit it, the shaft is probable too stiff for you. The overall weight of the head must be carefully matched up to the stiffness of the shaft.
Clubhead loft: Golfers who hit the ball too low or too high might have to have their lofts adjusted. For example, if a golfer tends to hit off their right side at impact, they generally have too little loft on the driver. Getting more loft on this club will help you move to your left side at impact.
Overall clubhead weight: Clubs are lighter now, and it enables the golfer to swing faster. But faster and crooked doesn't work. Players with slower, more deliberate tempos do better with a little heavier head. This is especially true for junior players and ladies.
Grip: Grips come in different sizes and textures. I have seen far too many golfers who have grips that are too small for their hands. This puts the grip in the fingers too much, and will cause excessive hand action. A hook is the result. Grips that are too large for the golfer are a slicer's nightmare. The grip gets in the palm of the hand too much, and the release of the clubhead is stifled.
These are some of the variables that you must look at when you customize your club fitting. Remember, all swings are different and all clubs are different. Don't make a mistake and buy a set of clubs off the rack. See a qualified club fitter and get it right.

On this blog and elsewhere, we have received reports of file type associations missing after installing KB2589275.
After installing this update, some users have reported they are unable to open files by double-clicking them, that the file type icons have changed, and that they must go to the application to open files.
We are aware of this issue, and we have been recommending the steps below to correct the problem. We're rolling this up to a blog post to improve visibility and to net in folks who may not understand "File type association" and similar language of software complexity.
You may see this dialog box when trying to double-click to open files:
You may also observe some of the icons related to Office files have changed. Some users have reported the file type icons turn orange, some report the file types appear blank or without the normal Microsoft Office icons.
This happens because the Operating System has lost the association between a file type and the application that it is supposed to open it. This does not change the file, this only affects the relationship between the operating system and the applications associated with the documents. in practical terms, it means that the typical double-click action will fail when trying to open files.
There are several options available to repair this issue. Each will restore Office products to a fully functional state. These are permanent fixes rather than having to revert to opening files inside the applications.
1. Use "Open with..." From any file missing its extension, right click and select "Open With", and then select "Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler." This will restore the file type to the application. In some cases, you will see "Microsoft Application Virtualization DDE Launcher." Select this option to restore the file type associations. You can also use the "Choose Default Program..." option, select the same option from that list to permanently restore the file type association to the correct Microsoft Office application.
2. In some cases, you may also need to repair the Office 2010 Starter Edition installation to restore all file types. In this case, visit add / remove programs, select Microsoft Office Starter 2010, and select "Change" from the menu bar.
You will be asked whether you want to repair your existing installation. DO NOT SELECT "Remove all Office user settings related to this product" if you wish to keep your settings on the local computer. Click yes when you are ready. It will take a few minutes to complete, and afterward you should be able to open files from your computer using a double-click action.
If you are unable to open files after performing these operations, please contact Microsoft support at http://support.microsoft.com, or http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office.
Are you going to send an update to correct the problem? Or is it up to us to correct it?
I have also seen this problem on machines with Office 2007 installed. Office patching this month has been very frustrating...
How is the best way to resolve the associated problem with Windows Live Mail when an attachment is flagged as 'Prohibited File Type' and cannot be opened? This appears to be true for all Office file types.
@EPerson: In the post at answers.microsoft.com/.../6c2541ca-1ba8-4166-9ad5-70876e5715a7, I have tried to roll up suggestions for both Office 2010 Starter and other versions of Office Word.
I have Office 2010 Starter (Word and Excel) on Win7 x64 Home Premium. I didn't immediately recognize that the patch caused my file type association trouble, and started manually changing file associations using "Open with". This wasn't working as well as I'd hoped, particularly with Excel.
I finally ran a repair of Office (like the repair described above), which fixed file types for Word but not Excel. Excel required manual adjustment through the Control Panel (possibly due to my "fiddling" with it earlier) -- Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations -- and set XLS and XLSX types to "Microsoft Application Virtualization DDE Launcher". That fixed Excel.
NOTE: The next time you run Word and Excel, be online and expect to WAIT. Apparently, "stuff" (new data and/or virtualization packages?) needs to be downloaded. It was a few minutes before either app would open.
I can right click...then go to "open with" and open with Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler...but I don't want to have to do that each time I need to open a document. What can be done to get all of my documents back to Word...everything was working fine until the update.
"This happens because the Operating System has lost the association between a file type and the application that it is supposed to open it."
Bull! It happens because once again MS has released a patch cycle that is breaking things, something they seem to be very good at of late. The OS doesn't do anything other than what it's told to do.
I just tried to use the above method, "Open with"...and it does not seem to work. On top of my Word and Excel starter programs not being an easy access, my Publisher program was disabled as well. I purchased this program separately. This is quite frustrating! I am working on a number of documents at this time and accessing them or emailing them is not easy. I do need your support. How can I speak with someone?
Wow! It looks like someone is trying to increase the sales of Office 2013! I will try this "fix it" because this system was pre-installed by the retailer when I bought the LAPTOP and I'm not paying again! I will also let the Better Business Bureau and others with power know!
I figured that out in less than 5 minutes.
If you go into Programs It appears to be installing an Office 2010 Trial that is causing the Miss Match
If you uninstall this trial it also Resolves this Problem. This Update Does not Seem to be Limited to People just using office 2010, as i have seen this fault happening on Workstations that have Earlier Versions of Office installed. Once you Remove the Trial Version it Resolves this Problem.
My mother is having this issue and based on previous advice given, uninstalled Microsoft Office Starter. Please can you create a fix that gives her a way to get it back. The usual method of reinstalling has been removed with the latest update also. I am sure there is plenty of abuse being thrown at you right now and I won't add to it. But I will say that this is a deplorable abuse of power.
File association isn't the only problem with these updates, I still have several updates that cannot be installed:
Still having issues! I can't install the following updates:
KB2553145 (32-bit version)
KB2687455 (32-bit version)
It's been more than a week now, when will you fix this issue???
I tried the repair option and it worked on a doc attachment but it didn't work on a PPS attachment. It appears that MS is placing the burden of proof on us to fix the problem. Why don't you guys try to correct YOUR mistake and undo the September update that is causing the problem so that we can enjoy our PC experience once again.
My computer is one that is affected by that download. I have tried repairing and everything else that is stated at this web site and it has not worked. Please, please help me to get back into the starter edition of Microsoft 2010 before I fail my college courses. Which may be soon because of this upgrade. Does Microsoft plan to send an upgrade to correct this problem? I am in real trouble here. Thanks

|'Dads Fall Short With 7-4 Loss
|Written by Staff Reports
|Friday, 23 August 2013 06:30
The Hickory Crawdads had held the potent Asheville Tourists lineup in check while winning the first two
games of their three game series, but the Tourists finally woke up in the finale Thursday night with seven runs on 14 hits in the 'Dads 7-4 loss at McCormick Field.
The 'Dads pitching staff held Asheville to only three total runs over the first two contests, while the Hickory bats had put together 15 tallies over the same span. Thursday's game looked to be following the same script, as Crawdads starting pitcher Andrew Faulkner held the Tourists scoreless over the first four innings while a Kevin Torres' 2-run homer in the 5th put the 'Dads ahead 2-0.
The lead wouldn't last long however, as the Tourists got to Faulkner for five runs on five hits in the bottom of the 5th before putting up two more runs on four hits in the sixth to put the 'Dads behind 7-2.
The Crawdads narrowed the deficit to 7-4 with a pair of runs in the 6th, with Jorge Alfaro and Joey Gallo hitting back-to-back solo home runs. The pair of long balls were the 4th and 5th for the 'Dads in the series, while also raising their season home run total to 163.
The Tourists bullpen would settle down after that though, with closer Raul Fernandez working around a passed ball to strike out four batters in the 9th to finish the game at 7-4.
Faulkner (5-4) took the loss for the 'Dads after allowing seven runs, five earned, on 13 hits over his 5.2 innings pitched. Asheville starter Matt Flemer (3-4) earned the win after giving up two runs, one earned, on four hits, one walk and 11 strikeouts over 6.2 IP. Fernandez (14) picked up the save for closing out the game.
Torres finished the game 2-4 with a 2-run homer, while Gallo went 1-3 with a long ball and a walk and Alfaro ended the night 1-4 with a solo shot.
Despite the loss, the Crawdads (34-26) still leave town with a series win over the Tourists (22-37) and finish their road trip with a 4-3 record. The 'Dads will now return home for a 3-game series against the Augusta GreenJackets. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

Border War NCAA Game of the Week - Beat the Book!
Border War NCAA Game of the Week - Beat the Book!
Colorado State vs. Wyoming, 10/19/2013 14:00 EDT, Score: 52 - 22
Point Spread: +7/-105 Colorado State
Sportsbook: TopBet
Result: Win
Colorado St +7
Most people in America who watch sports have NO IDEA how big of a game this is each and every week, going back over a 100 years. This is a bitter rivalry and last year with CSU knocking on the door at the 1 yard line, Wyoming took a pick 6 back 100 yards to win this game. Wyoming is led by future NFL QB Brett Smith who had another stellar week last week running for 138 and throwing for 247 where the cowboys out gained New Mexico by over 100 yards and lost. They are not putting away teams for some reason and their defense is suspect. CSU has lost 4 in a row and sources tell me they are pumped for revenge in this huge game, and remember this CSU team gave Alabama all they wanted for 3 quarters and that was on the road. CSU capable of an upset, this one will not come easy. Wyoming's 90th ranked defense helps CSU hang tight.

In a Hollywood-worthy twist, it was just revealed that George Zimmerman helped rescue a family from their overturned SUV a mere four days after his trial's conclusion. Yes, that would be the much-maligned George Zimmerman. The accused "murderer" George Zimmerman. The targeted-for-death George Zimmerman. And what were the chances such an accident would occur in Zimmerman's immediate vicinity while he's still page-one news? It almost seems like a message about his character that could make an atheist believe in God.
And the whole Zimmerman fiasco says much about our nation's changing character. Part of this is the increasing racial and ideological polarization and media corruption, which was alluded to oh-so cleverly by an Internet commenter who wrote, "If Zimmerman said "I'm going to pull you from underneath that vehicle," NBC will change it to, "I'm going to pull you … underneath that vehicle!" But the hopey-changey, getting-strangey difference I want to discuss here was brought to light by Zimmerman spokesman Shawn Vincent, who asked The Daily Caller after the rescue, "What if George hadn't gotten out of his truck?"
Vincent was, of course, alluding to all the critics who've said that Zimmerman never should have left his vehicle the night he was attacked by Trayvon Martin. "He had no business playing wannabe cop," we may hear, or his "John Wayne attitude cost a kid his life." And, yes, Martin would likely be with us today had Zimmerman been a retiring flower. But if we really want to play "what if," it's also possible that given how Martin was descending rapidly and rabidly into thuggery in recent times, had he lived he might have killed an innocent person — or people — sometime down the road. Such things must be considered when theorizing about alternative futures.
The point is that the same phenomenon causing Zimmerman to keep an eye on Martin also inspired him to help rescue that imperiled family from their SUV. Should he have simply waited for authorities? Many lives would have been lost throughout history had that been our attitude. And that's my point here: In a sense, Americans are supposed to be wannabe cops.

Coffins Made With Brotherly Love Have Undertakers Throwing Dirt
COVINGTON, La.—Five years ago, Hurricane Katrina gave the Benedictine monks at St. Joseph Abbey a new calling.
After the storm pummeled much of a pine forest they had long relied on for timber and income, the monks hatched a fresh plan: They would hand-craft and sell caskets.
But now, local funeral directors are trying to put a lid on the monks' activities. The state funeral regulatory board, dominated by industry members, is enforcing a Louisiana law that makes it a crime for anyone but a licensed parlor to sell "funeral merchandise." The morticians are serious. Violators such as the monks can land in jail for up to 180 days.
"I don't relish that thought," said Abbot Justin Brown, head of the 107-year-old abbey, as he sipped coffee in the monastery on a recent misty morning.
St. Joseph's 36 monks, whose pastimes include baking raisin bread for the homeless, are putting up a fight. On Aug. 12, they filed a lawsuit in federal court in New Orleans to try to overturn the state edict. In the filing, the monks argue that the state law violates their right to pursue a gainful occupation. "We're not just going to sit back and let these guys bulldoze us," says Deacon Mark Coudrain.
To address mundane needs such as paying the utility bills, religious orders across the country sell everything from printer toner to home-baked dog biscuits. The casket trade is also lively, drawing monks in Indiana and Iowa. The Iowa monks make coffins bearing the University of Notre Dame's seal.
In Arkansas, candy-selling monks at Subiaco Abbey want to teach the Louisiana monks the peanut-brittle business. "You can easily hide our products just by eating them," says Abbot Jerome Kodell.
In the past, funeral homes were typically the exclusive purveyors of caskets, a high-margin item. But increasingly, Web marketers and other dealers have been eating into their profits.
Following the lead of Costco Wholesale Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. jumped into the casket trade last fall. Roughly a half-dozen states actively restrict third-party casket sales. But federal law prohibits funeral homes from refusing caskets brought in from elsewhere.
The Louisiana monks sell their coffins for $1,500 to $2,000 apiece. Carved from cypress grown in the Bayou State, the coffins are lined with crisp white muslin sheets. Pillowcases are hand-sewn by The Rev. Ambrose Wathen, the abbey's tailor, who also makes the monks' habits. Deacon Coudrain blesses each empty casket before sending it on its final journey.
The casket conflict began in late 2007, when the abbey invested roughly $100,000 in a woodshop to sell the simple caskets it had always made for its own monks. After a local Catholic newspaper publicized the effort, the Louisiana State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors slapped the abbey with a cease-and-desist order.
The monks quietly continued to peddle the caskets while lobbying for the official right to sell their wares. They sought help from their state representatives, who tried twice, unsuccessfully, to pass legislation broadening casket distribution.
Meanwhile, the state funeral board enlisted an investigator, who acts as Louisiana's casket cop, to catch the brothers in the act. Sworn statements were taken from funeral homes that acknowledged receiving the abbey's caskets. Pictures of the coffins were snapped before any evidence could be buried.
Board investigator Jude Daigle wrote in a report that in October 2008, he observed a monk-made casket being delivered at a funeral home in Lutcher, La. He spotted the abbey's truck, according to the report, and saw Mr. Coudrain, the deacon, hop out. "I helped him unload the casket," Mr. Daigle wrote. "He introduced himself and so did I. He then realized he'd been caught by the state board."
Mr. Coudrain confirms the account; Mr. Daigle declined to comment.
This past March, the Louisiana State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors subpoenaed two abbey officials to a hearing. If found guilty of illegal casket sales, each official would face fines of between $500 and $2,500 per violation, the board warned. The hearing, scheduled for mid-August, was cancelled due to a tropical storm.
By then, the monks had already prepared their own federal lawsuit, citing Louisiana's "casket cartel."
The state funeral board has nine members, eight of whom are funeral industry professionals. The board "really has it in for the abbey," complains Jeff Rowes, senior attorney at The Institute for Justice, an Arlington, Va., libertarian public-interest law firm representing the monks. The law, he says, "is an unconstitutional invasion of the right to earn an honest living."
An attorney for the state funeral board didn't return calls seeking comment.
With all their legal woes, the monks say they have sold only 60 caskets since 2007. That makes them a tiny supplier in the funeral market, given the state's roughly 40,000 annual deaths. Nevertheless, they inspire a stream of invective.
"They're cutting into our profit," says Leonard Dunn, the owner of Serenity Funeral Home, located a short drive from the abbey. He adds. "I don't think the monks are actually making the caskets—I think it's a marketing gimmick."
Recently, the abbey's woodshop was buzzing, with two deacons and two novice monks sawing pieces of wood for the caskets.
Boyd Mothe Jr., a member of the fifth generation of his family to run Mothe Funeral Homes outside New Orleans, says Louisiana's law should remain on the books because licensed directors have the training to sell caskets—transactions he calls "complicated." For instance, he says, "a quarter of America is oversized. I don't even know if the monks know how to make an oversized casket."
But some local morticians are mortified by all the fuss. Darin Bordelon, the owner of LaVille Funeral Home in Ville Platte, La., says the state board should be ashamed of its campaign against the monks.
"They're making us all look greedy," he says.

We hear constantly how Americans are unprepared for retirement and hugely pessimistic about our prospects. But compared with many other countries, we're doing and feeling great.
That's one of the fascinating findings in The Changing Face of Retirement: The Aegon Retirement Readiness Survey 2014, just released by the nonprofit Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies and Aegon, an international life insurance, pensions and asset management company.
The online survey, conducted in January and February of this year, polled 16,000 employees and retirees in 15 countries (Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the U.S.). Transamerica and Aegon looked at countries "where we see interesting things going on with their pension systems," says Catherine Collinson, president of Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies.
Global gloom about retirement prospects
Taken as a whole, the world is pretty darn gloomy about retirement prospects.
How to give your retirement plan a big boost
Want to improve your retirement plan's payoff? Increasing your employee contribution is simpler, and less costly, than you think. Smart401k president Scott Holsopple offers retirement investment tips on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.
Over half of respondents (53%) expect future generations of retirees to be worse off than those currently in retirement; 34% of employees are pessimistic about have enough money to live on in retirement; just 19% of employees are confident they'll be able to retire with a lifestyle they consider to be comfortable and only 16% of current employees expect to be better off in retirement than current retirees.
The most confident about retirement live in the three developing countries with booming economies that were added to the annual survey this year: China, Brazil and India — and the U.S.
Chinese are confident about retirement
In China, for instance, 41% of respondents said they are confident about having a comfortable retirement (bear in mind, though, that this was an online survey, so rural Chinese without Internet access weren't interviewed). In the U.S., 28% are confident about having a comfortable retirement, which put us at No. 4.
"A halo of optimism spreads across almost all the questions we asked for people in China, India and Brazil," says Collinson. She adds that these are nations where residents are more on their own for retirement than, say, Western Europe.
In awe of Americans
I was frankly stunned to see that Americans (along with respondents in China, Brazil and India) were among the most prepared for retirement around the world.
"My colleagues on my international project team are in awe of how many Americans are saving for retirement," said Collinson. "Americans are much more likely to be saving than other countries."
Where pessimism about retirement reigns
And the least pessimistic/most insecure people when it comes to retirement?
They're in Japan and four European countries: France, Germany, Hungary and Poland.
Collinson says Japanese are dour for two reasons: their nation's low economic growth and aging population. Hungary and Poland, she explains, have seen government pension reforms in recent years "negatively affecting everyday people."
But why are Germans so gloomy, with 80% of its respondents saying they expect retirement to be worse off in the future?
"That was a chin-scratcher for us," said Collinson. "Until this year, Germany typically has scored the highest for retirement readiness. This year, the emerging economics of India, Brazil and China scored higher than Germany."

She has been, for most of our lifetimes, the only Queen we have ever known. Powerful yet delicate, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen and Defender of Faith has paved the way for the future queens of the world's monarchies. Currently there are 2 countries who count queens as their leaders.
Those countries are Denmark and the UK. Along with Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe of Denmark and until recently, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands reigned in the mostly male dominated role of sovereign. But that will soon change. As of July 21st, there will be 3 heiress apparents to the thrones of Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands. Crown Princess Victoria, The Princess of Orange and the Duchess of Brabant will be some of the first to assume the thrones of their respective countries, setting a trend for the next generation of female monarchs.
The countries of Spain, Norway, and Sweden will one day have Queens as their monarch. The 3 girls will become heiress apparents when their respective parents assume the throne. The countries of Monaco and the Netherlands have heiress presumptives, meaning the heirs of the thrones could produce their heir at any given time.
For most of the countries, this is history in the making. This will be the first time for most that absolute predominance will come into effect. When their parent assumes the throne, these girls will have the title of heiress apparent, something Her Majesty never held. Until the day she became queen, Her Majesty held the title of heiress presumptive, meaning that at any time, her mother could conceive a male heir, putting that child ahead in the line of succession.
Out of the 7 major monarchs in the world, 5 of them will have a queen in the next 3 generations. If Baby Cambridge were to be a girl, she would be very much on trend with the world of future monarchs. Thanks to Queen Elizabeth II, the world has gotten used to seeing a female head of state. That will make things easier for the 6 future queens, the majority of whom are not even teens. When the time comes for them to assume the throne, they have a perfect role model queen in the current Queen of the UK.
As the queen of music Beyonce would say, run the world girls.
My god sure I believe in equal rights but man that was a bit sexist I mean "As the queen of music Beyonce would say, run the world girls." was that needed -_-
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I did not mean to offend you.
What utter nonsense. Long before there was a Elizabeth, there was a Victoria, and the Netherlands till this year had for 123 years a reigning Queen. You would say we were used to it and did not some latecomer to help us. We need to get used to have a man on the Throne.
Thank you for the comment. Sorry to have offended you.
Interesting article, presumably – from the use of the term 'gotten' – written by an American?
Yes I am American. Thank you for your kind words.
Why would it ever have been difficult for a Queen to be monarch? In our own monarchy Queen Victoria is one of the most celebrated!
If you were the only female ruler in the world, would you find it hard? Thank you for the comment and I'm sorry to offend you.
The Netherlands has an heiress apparent, not presumtive
The Netherlands have an heiress apparent in Princess Catherina Amalia and an heiress presumptive in her sister Princess Alexa
There can only be one person first in line to the throne. And that is not Princess Alexia. She is neither apparently nor presumably heiress to the throne. She is second in line.
You could say that Queen Victoria change the meaning of 'Queen' long before Elizabeth.

Comments about Krank Rev+ 100W 2x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
Let me start by saying I didn't know what to expect with this amp. With the negative vibes about false reviews and endorsees not using their Krank amps, I was concerned. I figured either the big boys have something to worry about and are planting bad info. or the amps are way over-rated. My son has a Road King and that is a great amp with almost unlimited versatility. This amp does what it does as well as any amp I've played.I'm more of a rhythm guy, think Malcomb Young, and this amp is the best rhythm amp I've played. It is dead quiet whether clean or distorted. The clean channel is not what you'd expect from a supposed metal amp. In a word great. I don't know how this thing does with metal because I don't play it. It's a couple of weeks old so I can't speak to its durability. I got mine at a good price so I can't honestly evaluate value but if your sound is what it's all about, I guess a couple of grand is reasonable.This amp has the feel of something put together in a garage with the best components they could get their hands on instead of a production line amplifier.Maybe the big boys do have something to worry about.

Bradenton, Fla. -- Chris Weinke has been a football coach as IMG's director of football. Now he will be a head coach.
Weinke will lead the new IMG high school football team that will begin play in 2013.
"Through our camps, clinics, combines and individual training, I have spent an incredible two years at IMG Academy working with some of the most talented young football players in the nation" said Chris Weinke. "I have been looking forward to the day we could announce the formation of a competitive team, and that day is finally here."
Much like basketball and lacrosse, IMG will field a team that will play a full high school schedule with a team comprised of students who live and train at IMG year-round. They will practice on the same fields used for NFL combine training and off-season workouts for players like Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
"Student-athletes are enrolled in one of the most challenging and rewarding football development programs in the country," remarked IMG Academy's Athletics Director, Greg Phillips. "The college preparatory experience here is second-to-none, and we expect our first class of football student-athletes will take full advantage of the resources made available to them as they look to advance to the next level."
Practice will begin in spring 2013.

YIELD: Makes 20 to 25 (2 1/2-inch) or 50 to 75 (1 1/2-inch) biscuits
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons warm water (105°F. to 115°F.)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 cups all-purpose or cake flour
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 cups buttermilk
Dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in the warm water. Into a large bowl sift the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and the remainder of the sugar, with 6 cups of the flour. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients with two forks, a pastry cutter, or your fingers until the size of garden peas. Add the yeast mixture to the buttermilk and stir into the flour mixture until all the flour is barely moistened to make a sticky dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to a week before using.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place about 1 cup additional flour on the work surface. Place the sticky dough on top of the flour and sprinkle with more flour. Pat out into a round 1/3 inch thick and then fold over to a height of 2/3 inch. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. If you desire a 1 1/2-inch round, make the dough thinnera total of 1/2 inch. Place the biscuits, their sides touching, on the baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly tinged with brown.
The biscuits can be kept frozen up to 3 months.

News and reviews of Andrew Luck and the Colts after a 26-24 preseason loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday night.
Fox Sports Pat McManamon writes, "There's luck, there's Andrew Luck and there's the Indianapolis Colts. Put the three together, and the combination seems destined to win many, many games for many, many years. That has to have the front offices and coaching staffs of 31 other teams bemoaning the Colts' luck - and Luck. Indianapolis plays all those years with Peyton Manning at quarterback, then Manning gets hurt one time and the Colts wind up with the first pick in the NFL Draft."

Ten Thirty One ProductionsRead MoreA chill creeps down the spine of every person who spends the night at The Great Horror Campout. At that moment—perhaps while roasting marshmallows around the bonfire—you realize every horror story you've ever heard just might be true, and it's all waiting out there in the darkness. That's the terrifying scene set by The Great Horror Campout, where campers 18 and older embark on an overnight, interactive horror adventure called the Hell Hunt. Terrifying challenges sprawl across the grounds, as do talented actors who take their roles as the undead and deranged very seriously. Among many challenges, these creatures might entomb campers in a mass grave, force them to play games of blood tag, or have them dig through roadkill. To end the onslaught at any time, they can simply shout, "I want my mommy," but if they conquer all terrors they'll earn the title of Hellmaster. For the fainter of heart, the grounds and their keepers host more laid-back activities, including horror movies, sing-a-longs, and arts and crafts. A monster-free Chicken Zone grants further, albeit temporary, reprieve from the madness, and campers can always stay in their tents and hope the sound outside is just a big squirrel screaming its friendliness.13701 Riverside DriveLos Angeles, CA US
Paniq EntertainmentRead MoreWits, problem-solving skills, and teamwork are all put to the test at PanIQ Entertainment. Groups of no more than six friends, family members, or Houdini impersonators find themselves locked inside one of the two themed rooms, each with its own background story, challenges, special effects, and objectives. For the next 60 minutes, the teams race against the clock, working together to solve puzzle after puzzle as they collect useful items, uncover more secrets, and finally use their accumulated resources and knowledge to escape the room before time elapses. The challenges range from logic puzzles to skill tasks, which fully immerse visitors in the live-action gaming experience as they collectively scour every nook and cranny for hidden clues. An ABC News segment shows a team trying to make it through an escape room.3393 Barham BlvdLos Angeles, CA US

The hurling apparatuses serve up these ill-fated spheres at speeds as low as 20 miles per hour and as high as 80 miles per hour. The slow-pitch-softball machines toss both low-arc and high-arc strikes, and the fast-pitch-softball cage tests reflexes with speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.4989 Sepulveda Blvd.Sherman Oaks, CA US

Legend says that when rival Burmese forces sacked the ancient Ayutthaya kingdom for the second time, their leaders constructed this temple to profess a commonality with their foes: their Buddhist faith. Wat Chom Khiri Nat Phrot, stationed between the foot of Dechatiwong Bridge and Chiraprawat Fort, also flaunts a gorgeous replica of Lord Buddha's footprint.
A temple fair is held during the twelfth lunar month of each year (usually in November) to pay respect to the footprint and daub fragile squares of gold leaf on the monument, along with boat races to commemorate the occasion. Distant views of the Dechatiwong Bridge, Chao Phraya River and Kop Mountain can be enjoyed atop Buat Nak Mountain.
To get there, take Highway No. 32 (Asian Highway) to the foot of Dechatiwong Bridge and turn left into the temple.

By Sara Belsole. CREATED Aug 6, 2013
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - It's the first day of school at Port Charlotte High School. But instead of the usual back-to-school smiles and excitement, things feel a little different.
"It's just a sad day," Michael Riley, Community Liaison for Charlotte County Public Schools, said.
That's because Sgt. Michael Wilson, who was killed Monday night responding to a domestic dispute call, is part of the Port Charlotte High School family. He spent two years walking the halls as a school resource officer.
Wilson also graduated from Port Charlotte High School in 1990.
"For him to come back as a former student and become a school resource officer, it was a big deal and it was a good thing for the kids," Riley said.
It was especially good for former student Christina Garcia, who said Wilson helped her through some tough times.
"He was always kind and generous, he empathized with lots of things, I was a kid, and if I had any struggles or problems," Garcia said.
Wilson would even give Garcia a lift to class in his golf cart if she was running late. And when Garcia got in trouble for skipping class, Wilson was there to help her get back on track.
"I would come to his office and he would tell me the importance of why you need to be in a class and not to skip out," Garcia said.
But what Garcia remembers most is Wilson's smile.
"He was always full of smiles, you knew his reaction by how he smiled at you. His facial expressions just tell it all," Garcia said.
Wilson has three children who attend Charlotte County public schools. Crisis teams, made up of social workers and school psychologists, were on hand at the schools to help students, parents and faculty.
Anyone who wishes to donate to the trust for the Wilson family can go to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office's main public website at www.ccso.org to find a hyperlinked button for a Paypal account.

A report received by the annual Methodist Conference in Wolverhampton today encouraged people to acknowledge their complicity in systems that exploit creation.
The Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, has caused uproar by suggesting that sin is not a purely personal concept, that care for the planet is a basic responsibility, and that unnecessarily choosing forms of transport which harm the environment may be a ìsymptom of sinî ñ turning in on ourselves, away from neighbour and from God.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
These have a history. In the first book someone – could have been me – failed to notice there were no chocolate chips included. We were informed by a lady who wrote a very nice letter, merely asking how much she should use. She won't need to write this time!
Makes about 28
|110g spreadable butter
|150g light brown soft sugar
|1 large egg, beaten
|1 teaspoon vanilla extract
|175g plain flour
|½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
|75g toasted chopped hazelnuts
|100g dark, milk or white chocolate chips
|Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|Equipment: Baking sheets, with non-stick liners
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes
First put the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy. Then beat in the egg and the vanilla extract before folding in the remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
Now take slightly rounded dessertspoonfuls of the dough and arrange them (well spaced out) on baking sheets.
Next flatten each one slightly, then bake them one sheet at a time on the shelf near the centre of the oven for about 15–16 minutes or until the biscuits have turned a dark golden colour and
feel firm in the centre when lightly pressed.
As soon as the biscuits are baked, remove them from the baking sheets with the aid of a palette knife.
Cool them on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.

Issa and Cummings also want the disciplinary histories of the agents involved dating back 10 years, and summaries of any other disciplinary actions that were taken against any other personnel as a result of misconduct on overseas trips since 2007.
"Has the USSS been able to determine that all women involved in this incident were at least 18 years of age?" the letter asks, noting that the involvement of underage prostitutes violates the law under which a U.S. citizen traveling to a foreign locale cannot engage in "illicit sexual conduct."
"Your swift and decisive action in response to this scandal has given us confidence that the agency will complete a thorough investigation and take steps to ensure that similar lapses in judgment will never again jeopardize the important work of the U.S. Secret Service."
Issa and Cummings told Sullivan that "your task is to restore the world's confidence in the U.S. Secret Service."
The New York Times got the first interview with the prostitute whose argument over payment led to the discovery of the activities of the Secret Service agents and a handful of military personnel under investigation by the Department of Defense.
She claimed she was a high-priced escort and charged the agent $800 when he offered only $30. She also noted that not only did she spend the entire night in the agent's room, only to be woken by a call from the front desk, but when she wanted help getting her money she fetched another prostitute who had stayed the whole night with an agent across the hall.
The woman told the Times that she was not interested in cooperating with American investigators and is planning to leave Cartagena soon.
Talking with reporters en route to a President Obama speech in Ohio today, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that the scandal wasn't detracting from Obama's economic message and quest to cast government as a force for good.
"The president has been crystal clear since he was a candidate about the standards that he insists be met by those who work for the federal government and on behalf of the American people and for the American people," Carney said.
"You have heard the president speak recently on the matter involving the Secret Service. I don't have anything to add to that."

Archive for the 'Dodge Conquest' tag
Lost Cars of the 1980s – Mitsubishi Starion / Dodge Conquest
Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R. Photo courtesy Masty.
In many ways, the Mitsubishi Starion and its identical twin, the Dodge (and later, Chrysler / Plymouth) Conquest are the perfect symbols of the 1980s. Like the decade, the Starion embraced excess, as evidenced by the car's over-the-top styling, its redundant "Turbo" badging (repeated even on seat belts) and its obligatory flash-over-function available digital instrumentation. Unlike mere pretenders, however, the Starion delivered turbocharged performance capable of backing up its looks. Not only did it give Mitsubishi a proper halo car to launch the brand in the United States, but it also gave Dodge a legitimate rear-drive sports car to counter the likes of the Mazda RX-7, the Toyota Supra and the Nissan Z.
The relationship between Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors dated back to 1971, when Chrysler purchased a 15 percent stake in the Japanese automaker. At first, it was mutually beneficial, as it gave Chrysler a badly needed compact car to sell in the United States (the Mitsubishi Galant, sold here as the Dodge Colt), while giving Mitsubishi access to a market it had previously been excluded from. Over the years, the relationship produced cars like the Plymouth Arrow and the Dodge Challenger / Plymouth Sapporo, but by the time Mitsubishi debuted the Starion here under its own name in late 1982, the relationship was feeling the strain of global competition. Simply put, Chrysler was unhappy that its own compact cars were going head to head against Mitsubishi's offerings in global markets while Mitsubishi was unhappy that Chrysler, which was struggling financially, demanded more and more input in Mitsubishi's product planning and corporate strategy.
Perhaps because of this conflict, or perhaps because its own line of performance compacts (built on a front-drive platform) was about to debut, Chrysler did little to market the Dodge Conquest, and even distanced itself from the car in literature. The few period brochures that listed the Conquest were quick to point out that the car was "imported by Chrysler and built by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation," lest customers confuse the Japanese sport coupe with the brand's domestic offerings.
Excerpt from a 1984 Plymouth brochure, courtesy of Lov2XlR8.no.
Corporate politics aside, the Mitsubishi Starion gave buyers a turbocharged, overhead-camshaft, fuel-injected 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine, mated to either a five-speed manual or, later in production, a four-speed automatic transmission. Early examples produced 145 horsepower, though intercooling and engine upgrades would increase output in later TSi models. By 1987, the Starion ESI-R boasted features like hemispherical heads and three valves per cylinder (and even later, four), giving the car the ability to deliver a 0-50 MPH time of just 5.49 seconds. The car's light weight (2,820 pounds in 1986) and slippery shape certainly helped with performance.
The 1983 Mitsubishi Starion was available in base EX and loaded LS trim only, and these early "flat sided" cars lacked the exaggerated fender flares of the later "wide body" variants. The Dodge Conquest debuted in 1984, as did the option of an automatic transmission for all models, and Mitsubishi shuffled its packages to offer buyers more trim levels. The big news, however, came in 1986, when Mitsubishi launched the wide-body Starion ESI-R (for Euro-Sport Intercooled-Rally) and Chrysler countered with the TSI (for Turbo Sport Intercooled). Both models received flared fenders, a rear spoiler, five-bolt wheels and an output of 176 horsepower and 223 pound-feet of torque. By 1988, this output would grow to 188 horsepower and 234 pound-feet of torque.
The Starion's front-engine, rear-drive layout, four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and available limited-slip differential quickly won it fans in racing circles, and the Starion / Conquest delivered numerous SCCA race wins and championships throughout the 1980s, including Showroom Stock A championships in 1986, 1988 and 1990. Models built in 1988 and 1989 were even available with a "Sports Handling Package" from Mitsubishi or a "Performance Handling Package" from Chrysler, and both included one-inch-larger wheels (eight-inch front, nine-inch rear), low-profile tires and adjustable struts in front and rear.
Though the Starion is best remembered for its outlandish styling and impressive performance, Mitsubishi also equipped the car with as much cutting-edge technology as it could muster. An optional automatic climate-control system used sensors to measure cabin temperatures at both head level and foot level, and a photosensor monitored the amount of sunlight hitting the car to properly maintain occupant comfort. A graphic equalizer was an available option for the audio system, and cars built after 1986 allowed drivers to raise or lower windows up to 30 seconds after shutting off the ignition.

The Starion and Chrysler Conquest were killed off after the 1989 model year. By that time, Chrysler and Mitsubishi were well into a joint venture alliance called Diamond Star Motors, originally chartered to circumvent voluntary trade caps on imported Japanese cars. The car that would ultimately replace the Starion / Conquest, the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eagle Talon, would be built on U.S. soil at the Diamond Star Motors plant in Normal, Illinois.
Though it's not clear exactly how many Starions and Conquests were built and sold over the car's seven-year production run, it was never intended to be a high-volume production model. Mitsubishi applied the lessons learned from the Starion's forced induction setup to later models, such as the Galant VR-4 and Eclipse, which would, in turn, help to shape the driveline of the legendary Lancer Evolution. Though the Starion has been out of production for more than two decades, it still enjoys a loyal following and active support.

She also had five doubles to finish with an OPS (on base plus slugging percentage) of .916. She hit .385 in MWC play (8-23) with a home run and three RBIs. On the mound she threw a team-high 70 innings while compiling a 1-10 record with a 7.60 ERA, striking out 28.
Salm is the 62nd All-MWC for the Softball team since the 1984 season and the 11th during head coach Kim Zarling's seven-season tenure.
The Buccaneers were 5-27 overall in 2014 with an 0-8 record in MWC play.

The name of this Wetherspoon pub recalls the elegant Norwegian ships, or barques, which once brought ice across the North Sea to Grimsby.
By the mid 13th century, fish was Grimsby's most important trade. But, by 1500, the port was in serious decline. At the end of the 18th century, Grimsby was little more than a large village. It was rescued from its near-terminal decay by the building of, what came to be known as, 'the Old Dock', by the Grimsby Haven Company. Coupled with the opening of the railway, the port duly flourished. Its trade was made up of grain barges and Humber keels at the riverhead, as well as graceful Norwegian ice barques, colliers, cod smacks, herring drifters and trawlers.

Also see switch-on-a-chip .
System-on-a-chip (SoC) technology is the packaging of all the necessary electronic circuits and parts for a "system" (such as a cell phone or digital camera) on a single integrated circuit ( IC ), generally known as a microchip . For example, a system-on-a-chip for a sound-detecting device might include an audio receiver, an analog-to-digital converter ( ADC ), a microprocessor , necessary memory , and the input/output logic control for a user - all on a single microchip.
System-on-a-chip technology is used in small, increasingly complex consumer electronic devices. Some such devices have more processing power and memory than a typical 10-year-old desktop computer. In the future, SoC-equipped nanorobot s (robots of microscopic dimensions) might act as programmable antibodies to fend off previously incurable diseases. SoC video devices might be embedded in the brains of blind people, allowing them to see; SoC audio devices might allow deaf people to hear. Handheld computers with small whip antennas might someday be capable of browsing the Internet at megabit-per-second speeds from any point on the surface of the earth.
SoC is evolving along with other technologies such as silicon-on-insulator ( SOI ), which can provide increased clock speed s while reducing the power consumed by a microchip.

thought you were talking about the defense.
I'm saying the o-line matchup is particularly big against the Falcons, who are very small up front. Gives you a decent chance against an otherwise slightly superior team that is playing at home.
FWIW, Pats and Ravens much bigger up front on D.

Most individuals in Western society have grown up believing that milk and dairy products are an important nutritional necessity, and the main source of dietary calcium. The fact that dairy makes up one of food groups in national food guides has solidified this point. However, recent research indicates otherwise and is the topic of much media controversy. Milk alone does contain a significant amount of calcium. In fact each serving contains around 300 mg per cup. Naturally people believe that it must be a rich source of calcium for the body. However research has now revealed that cows milk has been linked to many ill health effects. Due to the way our body processes dairy it actually depletes the calcium in our bodies. Here is how this works: Milk is acidic to the body and our bodies need to remain neutral as most of our bodily processes can only function within a certain level of pH. As it turns out calcium is a great neutralizer. When we consume dairy our bodies extract calcium from our bones to neutralize the milk consumed. Therefore, when we consume milk we actually end up with a calcium deficit! Furthermore, statistics show that countries where the population consumes the lowest amount of dairy shows the lowest rate of bone fractures. So what about calcium and what about the desire for a tall glass of creamy goodness? Not only does each serving of Good Karma Flaxmilk provide you with 30% of your daily recommended intake of calcium, it is also alkaline, allowing your body to utilize it effectively.
