Cracks in basement foundation walls and floor
Hi all. I would appreciate some advice on this issue as I am getting conflicting opinions from local contractors.
I have just moved into an 8 year old house and we are looking at finishing the basement. The floor of the basement has 3 long cracks, each very narrow (1-2 millimetres at the most) with no shifting or lifting of the floor anywhere. Additionally, there are 4 very narrow cracks in the walls of the poured foundation which are visible on the inside and the outside (where they continue above ground level). The cracks in the walls are also very narrow (really just hairline cracks), but they appear to go right through the wall.
Being a fairly new house, the foundation has a properly functioning weeping tile and a dimpled plastic membrane surrounding the foundation. There is no evidence of water ingress anywhere in the basement despite heavy rainfalls and despite all the cracks.
The question is: do we need to repair the cracks prior to finishing the basement (floor and wall)? If so, what is the best approach to fixing them?
I have talked to several contractors who have told me that the cracks do not need to be repaired because the waterproofing membrane and weeping tile will prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up, thereby preventing a leak through the foundation cracks. I am really not sure whether I trust this advice.
Any insight from forum members?
These are settlement cracks of no significance. The performance guidelines I build under require no repairs to any cracks in concrete floors or poured foundation walls that are less than 6 mm. (See link below, pp.24-28.)
Were the wall cracks wider, the standard repair would be epoxy injection.

Excellent advice from the pros.
Concrete will crack unless the quality is extraordinary and higher.
IMO, as an amateur, I would assure that 99.9% of the rainwater flows away from the house at least 3 to 4 feet.
Also, if the crack is too narrow, the epoxy cannot flow. Maybe a paint???

Responding to the rural area between Oakdale and Riverbank amid concerns of an agricultural business pursuing green energy, Congressman Jeff Denham and State Senator Tom Berryhill met with the owners and employees to better understand their energy conversion process and hear their frustrations with power conglomerate PG&E. When they were done, the elected officials assured company representatives they would do what they could on both the state and federal levels.

Federal Lands:
Survey of Land Managers' Perspectives of Off-Highway Vehicle Use (GAO-09-547SP, June 2009), an E-supplement to GAO-09-509

This is an E-supplement to GAO-09-509. This document presents the results of GAO's survey of land managers from the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Park Service field units regarding their perspectives on off-highway vehicle (OHV) use on federal lands. In order to learn about these managers' perspectives on OHV use in their units, we conducted a Web-based survey of all national forests and BLM field offices, as well as Park Service units most likely to have OHV use. We obtained a 100 percent response rate from the recipients of our survey. In this e-supplement we present the survey results, by agency, regarding land managers' perspectives on trends in OHV use on federal lands from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008, the impacts of such use, management and enforcement actions taken by the agencies, and challenges they face in addressing OHV use. We do not report results for question 24; we determined that the responses to this question were unreliable because some respondents had interpreted the question more broadly than intended. A more detailed discussion of our scope and methodology is contained in our report "Federal Lands: Enhanced Planning Could Assist Agencies in Managing Increased Use of Off-Highway Vehicles," GAO-09-509 (Washington, D.C.: June 2009). We administered the survey from November 2008 to February 2009 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

Can you help me identify this tree?
I have recently acquired this tree in my front garden and i have no idea what it is. Can you help me?
Yes, it is staked but that could be because someone didn't know what it was and thought it was an intentional planting. Particularly since the stake doesn't look like a proper garden stake but some sort of broom handle. Or maybe decided to leave a volunteer and grow it up as a standard. The flowers look like female ones and an intentional planting would probably be of a male tree for the silvery catkins. I don't know of any S caprea which are suitable for a small garden here except the weeping Kilmarnock willow and this isn't that. I suppose this could be the graft stock of a Kilmarnock which has grown out although Kilmarnock is a male tree. S caprea just isn't a widely planted garden tree in the UK. But they are very common as inblown seedlings. Perhaps our friend in Stroud will come back with some more clues.
I would dig it up and remove it, even in my garden of two hectares and 12 ponds I'd get rid of it. There are many varieties of willow and almost all are not suitable for a small garden.
My grandmother's maiden name was Stroud. The Birdman of Alcatraz was named Robert Stroud. I've been to Stroud, Oklahoma, and now I just learned there's town in England called Stroud. Made my day.

help cleaning a brick home
hi, we recently purchase a house that was built 1920's 3 story 2 family with a exterior brick that i want to clean but I'm concern about the right treat for the brick. the front of the house is really nice condition but the side and the back they just look really ugly and dirty with some green mold, we are in a budget and i read over forums people saying powerwash, sandblast and i don't know what to do, im really good with doing it myself and renting the right equipment any help will be much appreciated as we are first time home owner. thanks
I would definitely give it a good power washing. If you don't want to pay a professional to do it (I would consider doing so however, as they should know how much power to use without damaging or breaking up your brick), you should be able to rent a power washer and get some instruction on how to go about using it. We have our own power washer and use it a couple times a year on our patio and once on the house stucco. A first-time cleaning on an older house might take a more professional approach.
Please do not use a power washer on old brick. It is porous and not made like todays brick and it may crumble. I would use soap and water and a scrub brush. I do recomend you call in the professiomals to clean it though. You won't save much money if you distroy the brick. It shouldn't cost much just for cleaning and then you can paint it yourself
Try posting this on the Old House forum. I have cleaned wood siding using a $15 hand pump sprayer to apply the cleaner and a scrub brush on a pole.

A long time ago on a houseboat not so far away.
Story by Clarence Baker
It was a brisk morning in early 1974. A man by the name of Clarence Baker started the engine of his beloved houseboat, Li'l Hobo, which had been commissioned for an epic journey from Pennsylvania to Florida.
He pulled in the lines.
He went cautiously to the fuel dock, then crashed into it-likely out of sheer nervousness for the impending journey he was about to take with his spouse and friends.
"We filled our tanks and then crashed into the dock again while maneuvering to leave it," Clarence noted in the first installment of this story, which debuted in our July 2006 issue. "We waved goodbye to Newt and Lynn, who ran the marina. I'll never forget the worried looks on their faces as we left them behind to start our great adventure. We were finally on our way."When we last heard from Mr. Baker, After a couple of hours of fighting only four-foot waves, they were in front of Jules Marina, but all the slips were taken. The wind had kept everyone in port and there was no space for Li'l Hobo.
After drinks on board the Seagraves' boat, they left us with the remains of a large smoked Arkansas country ham, which to say the least, was greatly appreciated, especially by Eddie, who would do anything for ham. I later came to be Sig's captain on three different boats in Florida.
Rose and I were at the Marina Restaurant one night for a nightcap and the waitress bragged about a drink she had invented and for which she had won a prize. It was the called the `707', so of course we had to have one of those blue ribbon type drinks. It's terrible the way people are dishonest to one another, because we told her it was delicious, but in reality it tasted like ginger ale and sewer water.
We stayed for five enjoyable days, and then headed for Dauphin Island, Alabama. On the way in to the island, we were glad we only drew ten inches of water because I ended up on the wrong side of a breakwater where boats were not supposed to be. When we got in the channel and tied up to a dock, a man who had watched us remarked that no other big boat had ever been on that side before. We were lucky we didn't run aground.
Mary Diane bought five pounds of large shrimp from a boat for seventy-five cents a pound. Then she and her mom cleaned them on the dock and we promptly stuffed ourselves. It was a treat to find seafood so inexpensive and fresh.
It was 80 degrees the next morning and the weather seemed to be just right for boating, so we left for your next port. Unfortunately I decided to take a shortcut through the island canals. It was very narrow and the tide was out (which I had not yet become used to). Our stern drive hit hard on some rock or dead coral and the out drive jumped up into the air. We didn't notice any damage but only a little vibration at 2500 rpm so we kept on going. It turned out to be a rough and bouncy day crossing `Bon Secour Bay' which took three hours but nothing could bother us today because this was the day that Li'l Hobo would reach Florida.

The body of an 18-year-old Chowchilla man found Monday in a row of corn off Avenue 14 near Road 9 has been identified as Pete Rios, the Madera County Sheriff's Department announced Wednesday evening.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a vintage edition - 'Nothing New On The Western Front'
Not thinking or knowing and with a name like Vintage I heedlessly purchased this edition, believing that I would be reading the original translation - the one closest in time, in sympathies, in a general approach to life - simply the translation most likely to preserve a feeling of the early 20th century.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Only the Dead Have Seen the end of War",
Bob Salter "Captain Spindrift" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
With the recent sad passing of Harry Patch "The last Tommy", who was the last man alive to have fought in the trenches of the Great War, I feel saddened that the last living link with my grandfathers generation has been lost. He will be buried in the village of Monkton Combe a short drive away from where I live, making it doubly poignant. Harry didn't speak about the war until he was a hundred years old, such was the mark it left on him. In his last years he was outspoken against war and its waste. That war to end all wars almost annihilated a generation and left mental scars on the survivors that would never heal.
There were two things that I did with my children out of respect for that generation. I took them all to see the Menin Gate at Ypres in Belgium with the names of the dead engraved on it. On his first trip out of the country since the war this was the first place Harry Patch visited. If you have not done this, then do it. The second thing I did for my son was to read him Erich Maria Remarque's story "All Quiet on the Western Front". It was a bit too violent for my daughters who are of a more delicate disposition. My son often reminds me that he still has the mental scars from the book. He still asks what sort of father would do that to his son. But he remembers it vividly. I have read it three times now and it is a book that is as powerful today as when it was first published in book form in 1929 when it caused a sensation. It is the daddy of all the anti war books.
We see the war through the eyes of an innocent and naive young soldier Paul Baumer who is fresh from school. After some initial training he is sent to the front where he witnesses the realities of trench warfare. Life becomes very cheap indeed, but Paul adapts and learns how to survive. He sees friends killed and he kills himself, and in so doing becomes dehumanized. The physical and psychological effects of the war on these men are shown graphically. The characters from the novel seem so real. The old veteran Katczinsky who takes the young lads under his wing. Himmelstoss the ex postman turned training corporal who gives the recruits such a hard time in training. A tyrant who is later exposed on the front as a frightened coward. War does that to men. There is no hiding place and the inner soul is exposed. The ending of the story is a blissful release and so very sad.
The words "All Quiet on the Western Front" have so embedded themselves in the national psche that they have become common slang for not much is happening. Remarque was well qualified to write the book as he served as a German soldier in the trenches. The book and its anti war message was hated by Hitler who burnt most copies. Remarque was forced to leave his own country. Sadly his message has been lost on the warmongers. One only has to look at the long list of conflicts since the war. "Only the dead have seen the end of war". Harry Patch and his generation will see no more wars. May they rest in peace. If you do nothing else visit the Menin gate or read this book. Essential reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb,
By A Customer
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
Both the title itself and other reviewers' comments provide you with an overview of the subject matter of this novel so I won't dwell on that. What I would say however is that I disagree with the notion expressed by other reviewers that this book is applicable to any war and supports the notion that all conflicts are futile. (Although I appreciate that the latter was the intention of the author.)
The reason I say this is because the Western Front during WWI was arguably (bar Stalingrad) the ultimate manifestation of a war of attrition at the battlefield level. Plainly and simply the winner was the side which could sustain the greatest number of casualties yet still keep going. Shamelessly, both sides pursued this strategy relentlessly which only serves to make the futility of this particular conflict all the more poignant.
The most moving passages for me are the protagonist thinking back to the bravado of his teacher encouraging his pupils to join up having bought the propaganda hool, link and sinker; the little things in life that are so meaningful to Paul given that they may be the last time he gets to experience them; the period of leave when he returns to his family who could not begin to understand what he has experienced, and above all the description of what it was like waiting in the bunkers while the shells rained down on them, knowing that at any moment the next shell could be for them. The last passage and action both during and after the barrage are truly amazing.
It's been six months since I read this book and thinking about it something has become clear to me. Once you're read this book you're more of a person that you were before. Gushing maybe but true. There is no higher praise than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the German perspective - then and now,
Michael Kipping - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
Having read all 72 previous reviews there were one or two in which the reviewer stated that Remarques book in one way or another did its part to make WWII possible. Being a German born in 1966, with family members - as I found out later (not by being told but by asking unwelcomed questions) - being faithful followers of the impersonated evil during the 1930s and 1940s, in this country's darkest years, I'd like to give a comment and I hope my English is not failing me.
Remarque did not mean to write an anti-war book. As a matter of fact he called it "unpolitical". But the very first lines of the book, placed before the first chapter, do put things into perspective. Yet he still insisted that his novel was not written to convince people to oppose war for he said that "everybody is against going to war anyway." He later corrected this misconception of his. In an interview as late as 1963 he revised his original statement: (translated: "I always believed that everybody was against going to war - until I realized there were some folks who do want to go to war, particularly those who don't need to go themselves."
Remarque himself did not go to war in 1917 voluntarily. He only served in the trenches for a few months until he got wounded by shrapnel and got shot through the neck. He was sent to a military hospital where he listened to (and took notes of) the reports of other soldiers who had seen so much more of the war than he did. What he noted was what became the foundation of his book. And this book, although fictional, became what it is today. It has become an anti-war book by accident because it was received as such. Erich Maria Remarque had no intention of making his fellow Germans more peaceful or more aggressive. It was simply a damn good book that so many veterans could claim to be telling their story - on both sides.
If the truth - even a fictional truth - gets people to oppose the war, then this book is indeed an anti-war book, in its function albeit not in its intention. And to claim that the story told - a story which in its deepest sense is so very much humane, paved a literary way to the rise of the Nazis, is perhaps not ridiculous but at least evidence for a profound lack of historical knowledge. When that man came to power in 1933, one of the first things he ordered was the eradication of anti-war books from the shelves of German readers for he was determined to go to war in the foreseeable future. "Im Westen nichts Neues" was burnt at the stakes (NOT a metaphor), it went up in flames in good company with other great German writers from a more honourable time in German history. The Nazis hated it, for it portrayed the "enemy" as another human being - the same sorrows, same hopes, with families, too, and not really an idea of why this terrible war was fought for in the first place - an equal.
This book was published in 1929. Within the same year, it became translated into 26 foreign languages. By now, there exist translations in more than fifty foreign languages. By 2007 it had sold more than 20,000,000 times worldwide. There is a simple reason for that: It appeals to all humanity or rather to the large part that, as Remarque believed, "is against going to war anyway."
On a more personal note: Just six weeks ago I managed to acquire a copy from 1929 via Abebooks. The ad text read that it was in good condition, so I ordered it. It arrived just three days later. When I unwrapped the book I found that it did not look like the original. The first owner must have had it undergo a sort of special treatment. The original cover of cardboard had been replaced by a half leather cover with fine marbled paper. The original binding had been replaced with real gutters and it was in almost perfect condition. It had been "redone" to extend its originally calculated lifespan. The way it is now, it will survive another two hundred years and by doing so make a mockery of the "1000 years" that Adolf Hitler believed his Reich would prosper (after degrading all others peoples except the Germans that is).
This book will live.

5.0 out of 5 stars So sad, so poignant,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
This book is so moving and yet, despite the horrors endured on the frontline during WW1, a sense of humour (however grim) is retained throughout, almost to the last few paragraphs. The story is written in the first person narrative, by a young German soldier, Paul Bauer. He is only eighteen when he is pressured by his family, friends and society in general, to enlist and fight at the front. He enters the army, along with 6 other lads he was at school with, each one filled with fresh, lively, optimistic and patriotic thoughts, but within a few months they are all as old men, in mind if not completely in body. Paul and his friends witness such horrors and endure such severe hardship and suffering, that they are unable to even speak about it to anyone but each other. This is a very moving and poignant novel, and the reader is made even more aware of its poignancy in knowing that its author is writing from experience, having suffered greatly as a young man on the frontline, whilst fighting for the Fatherland.

Sam (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Vintage Crucial Classics) (Paperback)
When I first picked up this book, to be honest, I was not expecting too much, but my the time I had finished the first chapter I realised that I could not have been more wrong. I was most impressed with the way the book steers clear of offering any judgement on war, but tells it through the eyes of just one soldier, Paul Baumer and the way the war affects him. It is not about what 'side' he is on and who is 'right,' but what he sees and feels in this very personal journey.
Remarque's writing is deeply moving, especially in the descriptions of the character deaths and the effect this has on Paul as one by one the people around him die. It describes clearly the basic human instinct of survival and how the men learn to deal with practically anything; their whole lives become the war. A bit like the unknown soldier, Paul becomes a metaphor for the emotions of the millions of men fighting, and this brings the war to a human level, and has something to teach us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars WW1,
kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Reading Guide Edition) (Paperback)
If any book deserves to be re-read at least once a year then this is it. It's an amazingly eloquent account of a young German soldier's life in the trenches of WW1. To hear his vivid descriptions of the hardships that these young men faced, and of the harrowing sights they saw and dealt with, is to be humbled by his words. The book is written in a manner so that it's not immediately obvious which country the soldier is from and I feel that is exactly the way the author wanted it to come across. No acts of bravado or self-pitying sentiments are expressed, but just a desire on the parts of all of the brave young men to overcome the hell they are in and to try and survive until peace is declared.
This is a harrowing read at times, but beautifully written and not a word is wasted. I'll always have a copy on my shelves and will re-read it each November as I honour soldiers past and present on Remembrance Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words of thunder that reverberate today...,
John P. Jones III (Albuquerque, NM, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
"All Quiet on the Western Front" remains the quintessential anti-war novel. The events depicted in the novel occurred almost a century ago. Remarque was a master, not only at depicting the horrors of trench warfare, which the First World War is most noted for, but also the power relations which accompany war, both within the military, and in society at large. His prose burns. Consider simply the issue of how new recruits are trained: "We became soldiers with eagerness and enthusiasm, but they have done everything to knock that out of us. After three weeks it was no longer incomprehensible to us that a braided postman should have more authority over us than had formerly our parents, our teachers, and the whole gamut of culture from Plato to Goethe...We had fancied our task would be different, only to find we were to be trained for heroism as though we were circus-ponies." Yes, "braided postman."
I first read this work over 40 years ago, before I entered the Army. It proved to be the best "orientation manual" possible for what the military would be like, despite the fact that Remarque depicted the German Army of World War I, and I was in the American Army in Vietnam. There were several passages that I remembered, and they proved to be astonishingly prescient. For example, the manner is which Kat died in the book, and Paul's utter surprise that he was actually dead from such a small wound reflected the first casualty I treated, a Lieutenant who was just so unlucky to have gotten hit where he did. But on this re-read, I was impressed with how many other portions were also relevant. Remarque brilliantly depicted the immense emotional dissonance that Paul experienced on leave, with his fellow citizens of the home front who were always so willing to pat him on the back, and buy him a beer, and then pontificate in their excruciatingly clueless manner about what was needed to "really win this war." And then there are the hospitals, as Remarque says: "A hospital alone shows what war is." The author depicts the suffering of the soldiers, and the sometimes callousness of the staff that could be drawn from the recent news articles on the scandals at Walter Reed Hospital. Remarque even includes the physicians, as he and I would both say, a very slender minority, but nonetheless real, who see the war and their "captive audience" as a wonderful laboratory to experiment - in this book's case it was a surgeon who loved to break feet, in an always failing attempt to cure "flat feet."
War can make a liar out of you. Paul Baumer is home on leave. He knows the agonizing way that Kemmerich died. He has to see his mother, who wants to hear the entire, honest truth. There is no way he can tell her; there is no way that he can say your son died for nothing at all. He has to say: Your son died a hero, and he died instantly. As to the truth: "I will never tell her, she can make mince-meat out of me first. I console her..." In another scene Paul is in a shell crater, a Frenchman also jumps in it, and Paul instinctively has to kill him. From his papers he learns that he is Gerald Duval, a printer. Paul realizes that he is just another poor slob who got caught up in the war, and didn't make it. In the crater, Paul makes a promise to him: "I promise you, comrade. It shall never happen again." As we all know, not only again, but again and again it continues to happen.
Remarque brilliantly depicts the nitty-gritty of war, from the lice to the rats. In his case, much time was spent scrounging for food, which was one of the real differences with the American Army in Vietnam. It might have bland, but the food was always adequate for us. But he is equally adept at addressing the larger issues of why wars occur, and in one scene, after they had been issued new clothes (which were later collected!) for the Kaiser's inspection, the infantrymen ask each other if he could have prevented the war. The conclusion was, no, not him alone, but if only 30 people, those with the power, had said no, there would have been no war. Remarque has an excellent passage, worthy of Pascal's ruminations questioning the right to kill a man because "he lives on the other side of the river." Remarque says: "A word of command has made these silent figures our enemies; a word of command might transform them into our friends. At some table a document is signed by some persons whom none of us knows, and then for years together that very crime on which formerly the world's condemnation and severest penalty fell, becomes our highest aim... Any non-commissioned officer is more of an enemy to a recruit, any schoolmaster to a pupil than they are to us."
This book should be a requirement before any student can graduate from high school. Even more so, it should be an essential curriculum item in any journalism school; the last two brief paragraphs explain the title to the book, and that aspiring journalist might hesitate in ever writing: "MACV reported that there was only light and scattered fighting in the Central Highlands." Or, on the Western Front, or in Helmand province.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic story of life on the front-line,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
Remarque's macabre, cynical narrative about a soldier behind enemy lines could only really be about one war - World War 1, in the Trenches on the Western Front. His melancholic thoughts, though, could be about any soldier in any war, the utter despair of the soldier, the comradeship of fellow troops, the arrogance of superiors and the gruesome devastation on body and soul of those at the Front. So powerful and vivid that Hitler banned it. A Classic for its cynicism and the State's contempt towards the soldier fighting her war.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book that everyone should read.,
Nicola F (Nic) (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
This classic piece of war literature is a novel that I really think *must* become part of the history syllabus in today's schools. Based on Remarque's own experiences at the Front, it is a compelling, yet matter of fact look at the true horrors of war. It is also unquestioningly, one of the most poignant and well-written novels I have ever had the privilege of reading.
Told from the perspective of Paul, a German soldier, it recounts the lives of he and his school friends, who are encouraged to join the army once they come of age, at the goading of one of their teachers. Alternating between past and present tense, we learn of the horror of the battlefield and the lives of the men before they became soldiers. The narrative is utterly compelling and really draws the reader into the events- you learn of not only the turmoil of the front, but can also almost sense the smells and sounds and feel the mud of the trenches. There is also a journey undertaken that the reader experiences fully with Paul and his friends- they start off as fresh-faced eighteen-year-olds, with a strong sense of patriotism for their country, yet as the book progresses they become ultimately jaded with the horrors of war. The reader really feels a sense of empathy with the characters as the plot unfolds, and through their own experiences you are given a sense of what they are thinking and feeling and how pointless war actually is.
At times this novel is poignant, at other times sombre, but the prose is always beautiful and infinitely readable. I know this is a story that I will turn to time and time again. If you only have time to read one book this year, then I urge you to please make it this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A novel that should be compulsory for all to read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: All Quiet on the Western Front (Paperback)
This moving novel describes the experiences of ordinary soldiers during the First World War. They are German, but could be of any nationality serving in this futile and viscious conflict.It proves well that we are all the same under the skin and that both courage and fear manifest themselves in all of us.The tragedy is that after all this time, nobody has learned any lessons and that pointless bloodshed seems to be endemic to the human condition. I shall think of this novel with sadness every time I see a politician sitting in the cockpit of a jet grinning as he visits the troops in the next (inevitable) conflict, knowing that those who start the trouble are not the ones who will be taking part personally in the carnage. A must read for EVERYONE.

One of my favorite species is, of course, the Klingons. Theyre delightful. Ive enjoyed watching some of the Klingon-centric episodes (Redemption, Soldiers of the Empire, and Shadows and Symbols, et al.), so one thing is a sticking point in STOs KDF for me.
Wheres my KVort?
For those of you that dont know what a KVort is, its basically the Brels big brother. Really big brother. Typically, KVort-class Battle Cruisers come in sizes close to that of a VorCha. Theyre seen in such episodes as TNG: Redemption (IKS HeghTa, and the ships Kurn defended the IKS BortaS from), TNG: Yesterdays Enterprise (the Klingons that attacked the Enterprises), and Star Trek III and IV (The HMS Bounty). Theyre distinguishing feature is the wings (swept UP instead of DOWN, like the Brel; or in STO, a Brel out of combat). Of course, that would be a sticking point. We have up-wings in-game already. Problem is, they go from super-awesome-gorgeous to hunched-over-stubby as soon as someone so much as looks at you aggressively.
So, I propose the following:
1: Make the wing animation optional. Put an option in the Ship Tailor to turn it off, and select which style you want when its off. Thats something that I think should have been done a long time ago.
2: Introduce the KVort as a Lt.G. Heavy Battle Cruiser Retrofit, essentially a sized-up Brel model with some touched-up art, which is effectively what a KVort is. 4 Forward/Aft Weapons, base hull 37,000, 1500 crew, standard Cloak, turn rate of 10. 4 device slots, 3 Tactical Console slots, 4 Engineering Console slots, 3 Science Console slots (+1 over the NeghVar). Commander/Lt.Cmdr. Engineering BOff slots, Lt. Tactical BOff slot, Lt./Ensign Universal BOff slots (NeghVar setup, but exchange Ens Eng and Lt. Sci for Universal), +10 Weapon/Engine power setting. Comes equipped with a new console:
Console Universal Energy Compression Chamber
+5% extra chance to proc energytype debuff
+20% All Energy damage
+7% Weapon Power drain when firing weapons.
+5% Crit Chance
+25% Crit Severity
This console allows your weapons prefire sequence to compress the energy bolt, making them do more damage on impact by packing more energy into the hit, at the cost of a slightly higher energy requirement.
Ship Database entry: The KVort-class Cruiser was a mainstay in the Klingon fleet for over a century. When Klingon starship designers looked at it, though, it was clear that it did not meet the needs of the new battlefield, but they did not want to do away with an iconic design of Klingon Imperial might. So, they went to the drawing board and updated the ships weapons and spaceframe. The ancient symbol of the Empire had regained its teeth, and would serve as a symbol of the Empires eternal strength.
This new, stronger KVort is the model Klingon ship. Sturdy, cheap to construct, easy to maintain, and the home of an arsenal. Whats more, its deceptive. This ship, seen as out-dated by the Empires foes, will be full of surprises when it reaches the battlefield.
So, whos boarding the KVort?
I've been looking forward to flying a K'vort for years now and I was rather frustrated that it was mentioned in "The Path to 2409" but not in the game at all.
However I feel the need to add a few comments if you don't mind:
the size was always around 300 meters, even the appearently gigantic ones in "The Defector" were no bigger than that as opposed to the Vor'cha's roughly 480 meters.
The Bounty was not such a big ship, she was a small model, otherwise she would not have fit onto the screen when landed.
There has been dicussion about the wing-position thingy and it appears they can't make it optional and even worse the models there are rigged up like this can't be converted back.
So they'd have to make a new model (or use a backup of an older model) and then decide where to set the wings and then keep them there.
The only other option I see would be to put two (or more) alternate wing positions into the the game's tailor so that just like you can decide which type of module to stick on an RSV or Nebula you can chose to use wings that are for example "up" "down" or "horizontal".
Appearance-wise I'd propose slight changes to the model compared to the smaller BoPs anyway to make it clear this is not the same ship:
add a few rows of windows to the ship like the K't'inga has and also put in a few visible escape pods (we know the K'vort has those from DS9:"Penumbra") similar to those visible on the alternate Negh'var skin.
I like your special ability idea very much and I'd like to add an idea for an alternate one, not because mine is "better" or anyhing like that but I think it would fit the K'vort as well:
these scenes are from "Redemption" pt.1 and as you can see the torpedo fired at Gowron's ship doesn't even resemble a Photon Torpedo.
So my proposal is not a console but a weapon (like the Bio-Neural Torpedo) that does not do kinetic damage but energy-based damage (after that BortaS' port shields were down) so the K'vort has something that is somewhat unique to her that is based on the shows.
*EDIT: I took a close look at yur stats and I'm a bit puzzled:
-the ship has the same turnrate as the Vor'cha and more hull
-it has 10 console slots instead of the regular 9
is this supposed to be a "plus one" ship?*

Any good closet kits out there?
gabbythecatOctober 30, 2013
We need a basic closet kit for our walk in closet that is about 10 1/2 feet long. We need shelves and hanging space. That's it. We don't need shelves for purses, we don't need a shoe organizer...we could probably put this together ourselves from pieces from our nearest big box store, except that would probably be more time consuming than just using a kit. We're putting this in our new house; we will do diy closets for the secondary closets, after we've moved in. But for this, we need something quick, relatively easy, and not terribly pricey.
Any recommendations? Amazon has a lot of options - anyone know about them?
Thanks -

What can be done to keep raccoons out of trash?
Issue: A reader is having trouble keeping raccoons out of her new garbage cart and wants to know if the city has any suggestions for dealing with this problem.
Status: Mike Krieter, operations superintendent, suggests double-bagging the garbage to block the scent it produces. He also recommends taking actions that would make the cart less appealing to an animal such as putting mothballs in the cart, spraying the cart with bleach and being particular about what food scraps are thrown away.
If those options don't work, residents can put a brick or rock on top of the cart as long as the object is removed before the garbage is collected, he added.
