How my novel, mapping Utah, came to be — and what it taught me
In November 1989, I asked a remarkable woman to marry me.
That didn't go well.
So I drank myself into a stupor deepened by self-pity and hacked away all night long at a Macintosh SE (Remember those? Two floppy drives?). In the morning, I had an evil headache, more questions about women than I could ever answer, and a 30-page short story.
Such was the sulking, ignoble, drunken genesis of mapping Utah.
That story lay dormant for half a decade, buried in a chaotic array of papers accumulated during study for my master's degree. It emerged from hiding in 1994 during research for my doctorate. I'd just finished my course work and was supposed to be working on my dissertation.
As all doc students know, aptly timed and brilliantly executed procrastination is a requirement for a successful dissertation. So I procrastinated. (May my adviser, Trager, forgive me.) The short story beget a longer story, about 100 pages. That, too, slunk into hibernation among copies of mass communication research articles I never wanted to face again.
In 1998, the longer story crept unbidden out of a box I had not unpacked since arriving at St. Bonaventure University in 1996. Hmm, I thought. Beats grading the inept writing of freshmen. So, night after night, I wrote more.
Thus begat Lesson No. 1: Don't over think it. I had written as far as Kara's desperate flight on her mountain bike from a rest area just west of Green River. Noah had yet to appear in the sky above her unconscious body in his ultralight aircraft.
But I kept rewriting and editing this first third of the book. My logic: Have to get it just right. It had to be perfect before I could continue. My friend Greg Stene intervened: "Why?" he asked.
Greg knows me well. He pressed me: "Why haven't you moved on to introducing these two people?" I admitted I didn't know how. I didn't know what Noah would or should say to Kara and what Kara would or should say to Noah.
"Denny," Greg said, "You've thought about these people for years. Just put them together and get the hell out of their way."
He was right. I did not write the last two-thirds of mapping Utah. Kara and Noah did.

Too many people + unbridled consumption = trauma for billions
Scratch a problem involving homo sapiens. Smog choking cities. Carbon dioxide and methane warming atmosphere or ocean. Forests rapaciously slashed. No fish where fish used to be. Nuclear waste with no safe home (ever). Pollution everywhere. Children without education. Billions of poor without hope or safe drinking water or adequate food. Disease and death induced by lack of health care.
And wars. Plenty of wars.
In such examples of human trauma amid conflicts over life-sustaining resources, there's a centrality rarely discussed.
Too. Many. People.
When I was born, in 1946, America housed just over 141 million people. Today, the 50 states approach 320 million people. Despite a declining birth rate, America gains a person every 16 seconds, thanks largely to the admission of about 1.5 million legal foreign workers each year.
When I was born, the Earth had about 2.5 billion people. The Census Bureau anticipates 9.3 billion people globally in 2050. That would be almost a four-fold increase in the people Earth would seek but likely fail to adequately support.

Rolling Stone's UVA story flogged as flawed — and rightly so
Critics are panning Rolling Stone's 9,000-word account of a sexual assault, an account that preceded protests at the University of Virginia and vandalism of the fraternity house at which, the article claims, the assault occurred.
The chief complaints: First, Sabrina Rubin Erdely's Nov. 19 story about a woman identified as "Jackie" relied too heavily on the woman making the accusation and failed to show attempts to interview those accused. Second, Erdely "shopped" for a context that best fit her own agenda in proposing and crafting the story. Here's Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple:
Rolling Stone thought it had found the "right" campus and the right alleged crime: Following her Nov. 19 story on Jackie's alleged assault in a dark room at the Phi Kappa Psi house, the university suspended all fraternity activities and a national spotlight fell on the issue of campus rape.
Now it's all falling apart. Thanks to several days of reporting by The Washington Post's T. Rees Shapiro, Rolling Stone's account is not even a semester away from becoming part of journalism classes around the country. Jackie's friends now doubt her account of the traumatic event, reports Shapiro, and the fraternity insists it never held a "a date function or social event" on the weekend of Sept. 28, 2012, which is the date cited by Jackie in the Rolling Stone story.
Result: Rolling Stone's managing editor, Will Dana, has attached a 293-word note at the top of Erdely's story, saying, "In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie's account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. (emphasis in original)" All this leaves media critics to attack journalism's machinery of story-making.

Another fruitless election. Why bother voting for Congress?
Did you vote for a candidate (and more likely an incumbent) who will put the interests of the monied few above yours?
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
Post that over every voting booth from now on. Hope and change, promised most recently by our current president and in different verbiage by politicians everywhere since I was born, do not lie ahead. Unless you are a rabid, frothing Democrat or Republican obsessed with ideological purity and achieving a stranglehold on power, choosing a member of Congress, for most of us, represents futility in the hope-and-change department.
I just don't give a damn any more about Congress. It doesn't give a damn about me — and most of you. Congress has amply demonstrated for at least two decades its grotesque inability to intelligently and compassionately perform its principal duties — to legislate fairly, to levy taxes sensibly, to advise and consent wisely on treaties and executive branch appointments, and to produce budgets competently.
I have remained rationally ignorant about the coming multi-billion-dollar partisan apocalypse. That's because no matter who controls the chambers of Capitol Hill, Congress will produce nothing meaningful that will positively affect the remainder of my life. Or yours.
Why won't that happen?
Congress has become a self-perpetuating, integrated system of bribery and extortion fueled by amounts of money mere mortals can no longer comprehend. Congress is inhabited by men and women who are at worst corrupt or at best willing, perhaps eager, to embrace moral ambiguity. In an institution populated by 535 powerful men and women who are supposed to legislate for the benefit of all, moral clarity is difficult to find. Result: The few get more; the many get less. Much less.

When It's Time to Grow Up
From one of my senior students …
Originally posted on karlybuntich:
All around town, the preparations begin.
Making our houses seem livable means hours of throwing out the mountains of trash that have accumulated, sweeping filthy floors, and cleaning rooms with care, tucking contraband out of sight.
We must face the sinks full of dishes growing strange-colored, spongy mold. A toilet brush and some bleach make no impact on the neglected bathrooms we must deal with. My roommate spends a few hours sifting through the layers of flotsam and jetsam that obscure his bedroom floor. He comes out red-faced, sweating and swearing.
We are all getting ready.
The parents are coming.
Yes, that charming yearly event where our loved ones are invited to come visit and see how we live. As a freshman, it was exciting to show your parents around campus and nice to get a break from eating at the dining hall. As a senior, it's a little different…

I read books because I need to know … so much more than I do now
If you're a reader, you probably have a list of "fave" books. Or of books you found "influential." Or of books you liked because each told "a good story." Or maybe because the books were filled with vampires and such.
I'm surrounded by book listers. I lurk on a listserv of really bright people, and one of the topics du jour is "what's your book list." (Thanks to them, I've picked up several to add to my own list.)
Jim Booth, one of my fellow co-founders of Scholars & Rogues, compiles a list of books each year and reviews them here. (He's done more than 50 reviews this year alone.) A faculty colleague has from time to time posted outside his office a list of "books I spent time with this summer."
I never thought much about book lists.
Then the Time of My Great Disenchantment with Mega-Corporate-Run Journalism began to descend on me about seven years ago. I realized that the grist of daily journalism no longer dealt at length or in depth with the gnawing questions I need answered:
How does the world work? Why does it work that way? What are the consequences of the answers to the first two questions?

The press isn't providing what the public desperately needs — news that matters
The daily print journalism I know and love is breathing its last gasps. The craft I practiced for 20 years, and have taught for another 20 years, is limping toward the grave. The newsroom values I have believed in for close to half a century face burial under a morass of corporate arrogance, a flawed business model, and a digital "content" that caters to our shallowest instincts instead of lifting us toward wisdom.
I don't read as much news as I used to in the nation's dailies anymore — either in print or online. Nor do I get much authentic news I need from local and cable TV. That's not the same as saying I don't get much news — as defined by the bastardized news judgments of managers of dailies and TV — from those sources. Surveys show we get something passing as "news" from those media.
But do we get the news — or sufficient explanation or interpretation of issues and events — we sorely need? Remember, much of what we receive via media, especially mainstream media, is secondhand. We need far more credible news about events we cannot or do not experience firsthand. "Our experiences are shaped by ready-made interpretations," wrote sociologist C. Wright Mills in the '50s. (See his "second-hand world" warning.) So we depend on journalism to convey events and issues to us secondhand. But we need clearer, more cogent interpretations than the press provides these days.

My lot in life: teaching sophomores how to report and write
Like Mom's admonition to 'eat your spinach,' my sophomores should dine on basics.
So this week I will teach them how to write a useful sentence.
A car hit a pickup today at Smith and Wesson streets, injuring both drivers.
I will tell these tablet-toting, smartphone-lugging students that this is perhaps the most efficient sentence structure in journalism.
I will tell them this: "Car hit pickup" tells what happened. "Today" is an adverb telling when it happened. "At Smith and Wesson streets" (and NOT "Smith and Wesson Streets") is a prepositional phrase telling where it happened. "Injuring both drivers" is a verbal phrase explaining to whom "car hit pickup" happened and the consequence. Yep – action and consequence, all in one sentence.
Then I will conduct a mock press conference in which I play the roles of police accident investigator, hospital spokeswoman, and witnesses. (Incidentally, I get killed in the accident, bringing great joy to my sophomores past and present.)
I will do this repeatedly for the semester. Mock press conferences. Subject-Verb-Object Comma Verbal Phrase. Over and over.
And you're thinking: Yo, Doc. It's the digital age. What's with the horse-and-buggy approach to writing news?

The Time of FarewellJust to begin, no this is not a journal about me leaving DA or anything like that. The title will become significant in a minute to what I'm really gonna mention. And one more thing. No matter what is said in this journal, it doesn't affect anything or any art form here on DA that I like. You see...for a long time I've been constantly thinking of whether I was interested in something as much as I was a long time ago. And now my thoughts and feelings on this matter are absolute. I'm not having any second thoughts, and when I move on it will be certain that I won't turn and look back. I'll stop beating around the bush and just get straight to it......I no longer have a love for anime. My mojo is gone, and it's not coming back. And I'm not even forcing it away either. I'm just....I'm just not into anime anymore.
Now before some of you guys start thinking if anything recently made me change my mind, let me cut in by saying this is not something I recently decided. For the past year and a h

I have been renting vacation weeks in Key West for many years. Some were good, some weren't. I have stayed here twice and now own a week. While not a Four Season, this is a good timeshare value in a very "diverse' vacation spot. It is a well maintained resort in a quiet location with great ocean views. Downtown excitement is a moderate walk away but far enough to insulate a vacationing family from the "over served" !. My wife and I never have a car and walk everywhere.

This complex is the best we've seen in key west. It's next to Louie's backyard with a connecting doorway to their bar from the pool. It's right on the water. Great pool and hot tub. Free music and rum punch twice a week. And the views are beyond belief!

Countertop spacing (again)
I know this has been discussed numerous times. And again alot of this is personal perference. A few observations from the posts I have read. The standard seems to be 16-18'' of space bewteen counterop and wall cabinet.
16'' seems to be more for people that are shorter as the upper wall cabinets are more within reach
18'' seems to be what most KD advocate for and are pretty diehard on it being here.
Here is my dileam and this post laid it out perfectly in terms of what Iam facing.
"As a KD, I always advise my clients to install the wall cabinets at 18" above the countertop becuase I always install undercabinet light molding which really brings the space to approx 16" at the front end of the cabinets and I have never had a person (even my shortest client at 5'0) have any issues reaching the first couple shelves.
"it depends on if youre doing undercabinet lighting. If you are doing neither undercabinet molding or lighting, then installing your cabinets at 16" above the counter wouldnt be a hugh deal....but if you installing either, I would do the wall cabinets at 18" becuase in reality, you wont really be able to tell they are 2" higher unless you measure."
Currently I have 17.50'' However, my trim to hide the undercabinet lighting is 2.375'' SO now Iam down to 15.125''
When I was in IKEA looking at kicthens I measured various displays. 16'' to me seemed way to small and 17'' seemed perfect. I know from a functional standpoint I do have 17.50'', but aesthetically/visually looking at close to 15'' after I add the trim for undermount lighting
Whats confusing to me is when people say 18'' or 17'' does this INCLUDE trim for undermount lighting? It usually is never stated. To further add to my concerns is that were planning on doing a 4'' backsplash with it being same material as countertops. I am concerned this will make the spacing appear even smaller? That being said these are white cabinets and London Grey Cesartsone cabinets, so maybe with it being lighter it wont be as bad.
I suppose I could set my countertops at 35''. You may ask why dont I simply raise my wall cab's. Well for 1 I already installed them, 2nd not sure what this does in terms of allowing me to add crown molding. (currently I have 2.50 of space bewteen top of cabs and ceilng) and thirdly this may throw off another pantry cabinet height issue.
Insight anyone?
If you are using stock or semi custom cabinets, the standard bottom alignment height of the uppers is 54" above the floor. It's that height so that the tall elements in the room align correctly at the top with the wall cabinets. Everything lines up as a standardized system. And appliance manufacturers use those standard dimensions to create their appliances. (Or at least most do take that 18" clearance into account.) Then, if light rail is desired, it's applied, which can take the clearance down to 16". But the bottom of the cabinet is still 54" above the floor.
If you are doing custom, then you can obviously do anything you want that you find functional, the rest of the world be damned. As long as your appliances fit under the cabinets, and you don't care a fig about resale, you could do the uppers 12" from the counter.
Thanks live_wire_oak
That makes sense and yes these are stock cabs. But I am really struggling with how the fact the light rail takes it down to 15.125''. The light rail trim is 2.375'' in height. That's where the problem is stemming from.
Iam trying to better understand is 18'' because visually it looks better, or is it 18'' because functionally it allows you to fit coffee makers, mixers etc.
I've never installed trim under my cabinets - is that necessary? I guess I like a simpler look and my light bars are very thin so I don't need trim to hide them. I'd be isn't concerned about whether my mixer or any other countertop appliance would fit under my upper cabinets.
Your light rail trim at 2.375", is that stock or custom? It isn't necessary to be that large for under mount lighting. 1 inch is fine for LED strips. My cabinets have just an inch but it is part of the cabinet face frame construction. 19" inches from counter. That is my prep area next to the cook-top. My other run of upper cabinets on the sink wall is 24" from counter. Awfully important for serious cooks having an area open for bread baking and juicing, blending. I have no appliances out at all. Don't like the clutter. All appliances are stored in my pantry wall. Your concern is valid but you need to make some decisions based on your personal cooking style reflecting your needs. It may not be a big issue if another counter surface is not encumbered by such a small clearance. When you scroll through kitchen reveals you will often see very small clearances in areas outside the major cooking triangle needing access to sink, fridge, stove. Often involves more storage than counter function but does balance overall.
Remember Ikea kitchens are mostly tiny and efficient use of space. Starter homes for the most part (though they work just as well in bigger open homes sometimes.) Walking through Ikea kitchen set-ups i feel cramped as well. The percentage of baby carriages wandering through, it is clear they are designed for a younger crowd looking for affordable function.
At our vacation rental beach house (new house built 2 yrs ago), the cabinets are frameless with uppers installed 19.5" above the counter (55.5" above floor) with 1.5" light rail, which brings the finished height down to 18" above the counter at the front edge of the cabinet. They are UltraCraft, which are semi-custom, so having my one full height cabinet built at 97.5 instead of normal 96" was no problem and no extra charge.
At our primary residence (built in 77), cabinets are 18" above counter, no light rail (and no under cabinet lights). The Vitamix will not fit under the uppers with the container sitting on the motor base. Just misses by 1/4". Waaaaaah !! I hate leaving it out on the counter with the container sitting next to the motor. I also hate pulling it out from the cabinet.
As stated above, if you lower your counter height, you could have problems with appliances not fitting properly (dishwasher, range, etc).
As far as the backsplash goes, I think it would visually close the space. Is there a reason you are going with a 4" backsplash ?

Most serial killers are able to fit into their surroundings well due to their incredible lying ability, so to the general public they are generally viewed as laid back people. But when it becomes time to kill, they absolutely lose their shit and become animals.
Also a reference to the Australian-born serial killer Christopher Wilder who was responsible for a string of murders across Florida and the southern United States during the 1980's.

By The Urban Grocer in New Food and Packaging on Thursday 23 September 2010
Nothing is hotter these days than charcuterie, which is why Marben Restaurant in downtown Toronto is rocking a farmhouse-chic dining experience for all those who find cured meats and home canning totally sexy. With an interior of brick and birch decorated with mason jars and balloon whisks, Marben Restaurant is bringing agriculture to the big city.
Spirit City Toronto

Toronto's Balzac's Coffee
By The Urban Grocer in New Food and Packaging on Saturday 28 August 2010
There is something irresistible about a beautifully designed coffee shop. And Balzac's Coffee in Toronto's Distillery District is just such a place. Located in an antiquated warehouse, the ambience exudes an industrial-chic meets French bistro aesthetic with its worn brick walls, pressed tin coffee bar, checkerboard tiled flooring, and 20ft ceiling adorned with exposed pipes.
Toronto's Soma Chocolate
By The Urban Grocer in New Food and Packaging on Thursday 3 June 2010
Over the years chocolate has evolved from mass-produced baking tablets in kitchens where dark chocolate was virtually unheard of, to a distinguished product coveted for its incredible complexity. However, today's attitude towards chocolate has not so much evolved as it has returned to its pagan roots when it was revered as a wondrous, even medicinal, ingredient. Enter Soma Chocolatemaker in Toronto's uber-hip Distillery District where you can 'eat, drink and worship chocolate'.

Toronto's FRANK restaurant
By Zolton in Architecture on Wednesday 15 July 2009
Designed by — and named after – the iconic architect Frank Gehry, Toronto's FRANK is a tasty complement to the Art Gallery of Ontario, located, as it is, within the building's beautiful surrounds. The interior design is stunning: modern, chic, and urbane, it's a work of art in its own right, featuring modern Danish furnishings and an installation of Frank Stella's work. And the restaurant itself benefits from the oversight of executive chef Anne Yarymowich, who has created a small but delightful menu, showcasing local wines and seasonal ingredients.
The Red Tea Box, Toronto
By Zolton in New Food and Packaging on Friday 10 July 2009
Walking down Toronto's Queen Street West a few weeks back, we were momentarily distracted (if an hour or two counts as momentarily) by the cake-y delicacies that adorned the store window of The Red Tea Box. Oh boy! This place is like that scene out of Hansel and Gretel where they stumble upon the Gingerbread House, only the treats here are Tea Cakes and the decorations on them should probably be hanging on the walls of a local gallery. These cakes are stunning. Almost too good to eat. Mind you, that didn't stop us. [photos by Alison Zavos]
Ultra Supper Club, Toronto
By Zolton in Cool Travel on Monday 6 July 2009
One of the best designed restaurants I've eaten at, Ultra Supper Club, located in Toronto's bustling downtown area, offers a fun and playful ambiance and a beautifully conceptualized menu that fits neatly into that burgeoning culinary category of 'modern fusion'. Which means, exactly? A bit of this, a bit of that, all elegantly presented and rounded off with a sparkling wine selection which complements the variable dining options.
By Zolton in Cool Travel on Friday 19 June 2009
I visited Toronto for the first time a couple of weekends back to check out the Luminato Festival and explore the city itself, which is being promoted as a more socially progressive and cultural alternative to other Canadian hotspots such as Montreal and Vancouver. And for good reason. Toronto is a fascinating place on many levels: from the architecture in the city center, which seamlessly combines the ornate majesty of pre-1940 buildings with the glistening facades of more contemporary designs; to the long, straight roads which defines movement though the city and contains an assortment of hidden gems; to the overall cleanliness of the streets and the overwhelming sense that a bustling creative community is doing all it can to foster the careers of others around them. It was an eye-opening experience. I left the city with a feeling that Toronto is very much on the rise, casting aside its wintry persona and thriving on the back of what is clearly a dynamic and exciting creative scene.

Toronto's Luminato festival
By Zolton in New Events on Thursday 4 June 2009
I'm heading up to Toronto on the weekend to take in the events around the annual Luminato festival, which is now in its third year as a ten-day celebration of the arts — filling Toronto's stages, streets, and public spaces with theatre, dance, classical and contemporary music, film, literature, visual arts, and design. It'll be an interesting few days, especially given that part of the experience of attending Luminato is to have 'accidental encounters with art'. Hmmm, hmmm. The event is designed to showcase Toronto's thriving downtown area which is driving the city's ongoing cultural renaissance.

Sweat it out at this beauty of a sauna with amazing views across the bay
By Kenny Ong in Architecture on Friday 28 November 2014
Compared to the standard four-by-two saunas we sweat it out at gyms and hotels, this beauty designed by Canadian studio Partisans is one of a dream kind that we wouldn't want to get out in a hurry, heated up or not. A large percentage of the prefabricated design was constructed before it was transported and installed on a private island's prehistoric formation by the bay, located at the north of Toronto.

As Climate Change looms and sea levels rise more and more people are affected by flooding. What might it be like if the whole word was under water? This performance installation in Toronto explores just that concept. Holoscenes is a work of art by Lars Jan, founder of Early Morning Opera. The installation involves a large glass tank within which sits a performer.

PicooZ 130mAh upgrade
Hi all
I bought a Picooz last weekend as it looked like fun, and it was....for 30 minutes until in my excitement I managed to pierce the li-poly battery with a pin (while trying to add more weight to the front)!!
I'd never flown a heli before this and enjoyed it so much and was so disappointed that I decided to see if I could find a replacement battery. Unfortunately everywhere was out of stock of the standard 50mAh Li-poly...but I found a 130mAh instead. It is a little bigger than the 50mAh but I thought I'd give it a try.
Once the new battery arrived I realised I would have a fair bit of DIY to do on the PicooZ to make it fit. It is longer and wider, and weighs more than twice as much as the original. I carefully cut away around the battery "compartment" and eventually managed to get it to fit - just! It's a bit of a squeeze, and the top corner of the Li-Poly is literally level with the windscreen, but it does fit.
I plugged it into the charger and the light came on, and a quick blip of the throttle spun the rotor - so I was happy that my wiring job can't have been too bad (it is VERY fiddly wiring the battery!)
After a full charge, which took about 35-40 mins (longer due to the increased capacity of the battery) I decided to perform a test flight. I was a little worried that it wouldn't get off the ground due to the increased weight, plus I had temporarily used masking tape to hold the picooZ together (foam safe glue on order). However, my worry was unfounded and it flew great
It's actually more stable than before, and because the battery is heavier and also furter forward there is no need for extra weight for forward movement. I could trim it out quite nicely, except for a slight inclination for it to drift to the right (I think this is because the Li-poly sits slightly off centre) but this does mean that it settles into long, predictable circling with no need to touch any controls except the throttle.
About 80% throttle gets it just below ceiling height, and I flew around the room for 7 minutes before I noticed any real dip in power. At this point I had to increase throttle to counteract battery drain.
After about 11 minutes of flight, power was sufficient to keep it flying at chest height - but no higher. After 13 minutes it was time to land (not enough power to keep it controllable).
I was very impressed with performance! The extra weight means you have to give it more throttle, but this is offset by the larger battery capacity - so much so that my flight time actually increased quite dramatically as i was only getting about 6-7 mins before.
With glue rather than tape to hold it together, and the upgraded carbon rotor kit (on order) performance and flight time should improve even further.
I thought I'd post my experience as I was so pleased with it - I hope it is useful to others considering trying a longer life battery, in my opinion it is well worth it!

Hmmm, there's not an awful lot to see really. Probbaly best explained by a small diagram, see attached.
Hope this helps. I've just received my depron and some foam safe glue so will be creating a custom body at some point soon, ready for when I receive my carbon fibre upgrade kit.

I tried the same mod as Googleflump using the same battery (130mAh) from indoorflyer, however I was unable to get the picooz to gain any height with a fully charged battery. I fitted it in the same place as the diagram Googleflump posted with the top corner of the battery in much the same position (just poking through the top of the front).
After that didn't work I then took the battery out again and hung it under the picooz by the wires (with the bottom section with the fins removed), and taped the front up, and tried flying it again. This shifted the weight back some and made the picooz more upright, and although it still wouldn't gain any height, it didn't lose height quite as quickly.
It appears to be too heavy to fly! And I can't see any way I can remove any weight other than by switching back to a smaller battery (and the original one is now knackered). The only solution I can think of is to fit a more powerful motor. Does anyone know which one (e.g. from indoorflyer) I should use?

Drive Shaft Mod
Drive Shaft stabilizer modification, how to stabilize the main rotor shaft without cutting open your Picco Z, I used 6.5mm diameter nilon bar, drilled 1.5mm hole through the centre, and cut the length to 3.7mm. Then use a sharp knife to make a wedge shape towards the centre hole. Finally cut out a slot in the top of the Picco Z, so you can slide this bush onto the rotor shaft, wedge shape first, the glue the polystyrene slice you cut out.[IMG]

how do you clean an undermount sink
I know this will seem silly and obsessive, but how do you clean an undermount sink? Does stuff collect in the crack between the countertop and the sink edge? Do you get leaks? Does the edge chip when you bang it with heavy pots and pans if you have a stone countertop? I've always had a topmount sink, and am struggling with the decision of which type to go with. There seems to be a better selection of undermount sinks these days. I'd appreciate any input -- Thanks
There is supposed to be sealing gunk between the sink and the counter, same as with a top mount sink, though on the inside, rather than outside. Yes, you can and should clean it. Just run your sponge or brush or whatever around the edge there. Stuff shouldn't collect there unless you have a big mess. Then you clean it up, as usual. :) Leaks can eventually happen, but if you regunk you're good to go. The edge can chip if you really bang on it. The type of stone determines how hard or easy it is to chip. It's not a constant occurrence, but stuff happens over time. Some stones are much more prone to chipping than others.
I wouldn't be afraid of an undermount sink unless your crew are really careless.
Thanks plllog -- thanks for the info -- I'm still being teased about the corn plant that sprouted in the dish drainer side of my double bowl sink a while back....I'm most definitely not a neat freak (that thing was pretty tall before someone noticed it....), but I can scrub and bleach my topmount sink whenever the spirit moves me. That sealing gunk might not hold up for me!
Had two undermounts, never had gunk. Never heard of it, either, until I read about it here and stuck my head in the sink to see if anything was there. I mean, if you have a copious vomiter in the house, or you regularly butcher whole piglets, I suppose you can get dirt under there. Otherwise, no.
Top mounts are considered pretty dated. They are much harder to keep clean, because the rim picks up some serious gunk; plus there's no sweeping of pig guts--um, I mean, crumbs--off the counter into the sink.
I previously had a top mount, but when we remodeled our current kitchen, we went with an undermount stainless steel sink and granite counters.
We aren't the neatest crew and my husband splashes like a toddler in a tub when he does the dishes. And neither of us is careful of the granite (pots, pans, oven roasters banging the edges of the granite) and we haven't had a problem. No leaks around the sink, no cracks or chips on the granite.
Cleaning the undermount is actually easier because I feel like we were always scrubbing where the edge of the top mount met the countertop. This way even if there IS any stuff where the undermount meets the countertop, you don't see it. But when you do one of your "thorough" cleans, you can clean there pretty easily.
Same for where the faucet is mounted...way more effort to keep that area clean on a top mount sink. With the undermount sink, wiping around the faucet / granite area is easy!
Major vote for undermount sink here!
Doesn't how gunky the seal gets depend on what kind of reveal you have? What kind is best--positive, even, or negative? Also, not exactly related to gunk around a sink, but definitely related to undermount sinks, what happens if the sink needs to be replaced? Do counters have to be ripped out?
Okay, I started the "gunk" thing. I wasn't talking about grime gunk, but caulk or plumber's putty or whatever gunk it is that they seal the sink with!!! The good thing to have. I think OP got that, but plant growing in sink? I'm not sure that there's any sink proof to that!!! Undermount shouldn't be any worse than any other kind of sink for that (assuming you also wouldn't be wiping down the rim of Pharaoh's flush mount either. Maybe not good in a super humid environment where fungus grows really easily.
"How often should we "re-gunk" our undermount sinks?"
A quality caulk (especially silicone) lasts a long time unless excessive scrubbing starts to remove it.
If the joint is tight and the caulking done well (putting caulk on the rim of the sink before tightening it in place and then cleaning up the squeeze out) the seal should last almost indefinitely.
It is not exposed to much of anything except on the sink side to water.
Of course using a knife to try and scrape the joint clean will remove the seal.

MUMBAI: Consumer discretionary stocks could now lead the way on Dalal Street, with brokers turning their focus to this theme to benefit from an expected buoyancy in consumer sentiment after the new government takes charge. This comes at a time when power, infrastructure, oil & gas, banks and realty shares have became expensive, limiting any upside. Analysts say there is headroom for growth in some branded players in innerwear, footwear, fast...

City approves request for twice-yearly yard salePublished 1:54pm Tuesday, July 16, 2013
The city heard from Danny Pike Monday, and agreed to allow Pike to organize a twice-yearly yard sale after the success of this year's event at the Sportplex.
"We had a great turnout and would love to continue it and try to make it an annual thing, fall and spring," Pike said. "We had about 50-75 vendors on May 31. I think this will be a great thing for the city."
District 4 Councilman Billy Wall asked Pike if the event would confliuct with the annual yard sale in Santuck. Pike said that it wouldn't, and that the fall date would not interfere with Oktoberfest either.
District 6 Councilman Tony Goss lauded the effort.
"I think it is a great thing to do," Goss said. "This is just another tool we have to bring the community together."
The council also:
- annexed property in an area formally known as the Russell Complex
- authorized the mayor to execute a grant agreement for the design engineering for the Parallel Taxiway Extension and the PCN Study
- declared the following items as no longer needed and authorized the mayor to dispose of them:
2007 Dodge Charger PPV
1993 Ford F350
1988 GMC 4×4 Truck
2007 Dodge Charge PPV
1995 Ford Tractor 7840
1997 Ford Crown Victoria
- accepted a bid from Thompson Tractor, of Opelika, for the purchase of a mini-excavator and a trailer for the shop-pool department. The bid is not to exceed $50,471.

Hey, guys. I need advice/tips on how to get the power button to pop back out of this Google Tablet. I thought about fixing it myself but I can't open the darn thing and I can't send it in for repairs because I have no idea where I'm supposed to ship it or who the call as this tablet is still under warranty. Oddly enough, the manual doesn't mention any phone numbers or addresses, but I know that this is definitely a Chinese Allwinner A20 tablet. I can't figure out which part is supposed to come off of the back. If I could just get the darn power button to come out. Well, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The Non Linear Behavior of the Microplane Model in COMSOL
A. Frigerio[1]
[1]RSE, Milano, Italy
The safety of large civil structures is often evaluated by means of numerical models based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). In the last year, the elastic behavior of the Microplane Model was implemented in COMSOL because it is a promising approach able to overcome the limit typical of the classical approaches, which in general are able to simulate in a proper way only a few specific ...
Coupled Hydrochemical Modeling for the Optimal Design of an In-situ Redox Experiment

[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
[2]WaterHope, Helsinki, Finland
[3]Posiva, Eurajoki, Finland
In this work, we present a number of scoping calculations that have been carried out to design an in-situ redox experiment (Figure 1) focused on assessing potential changes in the pH and redox conditions and in the buffering capacity of the Olkiluoto bedrock (i.e. the site for the Finnish spent fuel repository). A characteristic of these models lies in the need to integrate prior information, ...

[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
[2]Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management, Stockholm, Sweden
The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) is responsible for final disposal of spent fuel and radioactive waste. SKB operates SFR, an underground waste repository in crystalline rock. The evolution of groundwater flow within the repository needs to be estimated considering different options for the design of the engineered barriers. The goal is to predict the effects of flow and ...
A Mathematical Tool for Studying Drug Delivery to the Eye in Case of Glaucoma
P. Silva[1], J.A. Ferreira[2], P. de Oliveira[2]
[1]Coimbra Institute of Engineering, CMUC, Coimbra, Portugal
[2]Department of Mathematics University of Coimbra, CMUC, Coimbra, Portugal
The aim of the poster is to present a coupled 2D mathematical model to predict the evolution of drug concentration - in the cornea and in the anterior chamber of the eye - when therapeutic lenses are used (Figure 1). The mathematical model takes into account (i) diffusion processes in several compartments of the eye (therapeutic lens, cornea and anterior chamber); (ii) metabolic consuming ...
High Frequency Electromagnetic Device Modeling with COMSOL: Simulation vs. Experiment
P. Alotto[1], F. Dughiero[1], F. Bressan[1], M. Bullo[1]
[1]Università di Padova, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale, Padova, Italy
Computer simulation is mandatory for the optimization of electromagnetic devices. Here we concentrate on two classes of devices operating in the MHz and GHz range, namely microwave ovens and TEM cells for electromagnetic compatibility testing. In particular we concentrate on the issue that numerical results are usually different from the experimental ones and this can be due, among others ...
Reactive Transport Processes in Compacted Bentonite
A.E. Idiart[1], M. Pekala[1], A. Nardi[1], D. Arcos[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
The Swedish Organization for Radioactive Waste (SKB) is considering disposal High Level Wastes in a deep underground repository. Bentonite clay is planned to be used in the near-field of the waste packages as buffer material. The buffer is expected to provide a favorable environment with limited radionuclide migration due to slow diffusion and retardation by sorption and cation-exchange effects. ...
Modeling Pit Lake Flooding After Mine Closure
S. Jordana[1], A. Nardi[1]
[1]Amphos 21, Barcelona, Spain
Most of mining works, either on the surface or in the underground, demand continuous groundwater pumping in order to operate under dry conditions. When the mining activity stops, dewatering also stops and mining facilities begin to flood, quite quickly at the beginning but becoming slower as the water level in the pit lake rises. The rise of the surface of the lake decelerates due to the bigger ...
Humidity Mass Transfer Analysis in Packed Powder Detergents
F. Zonfrilli[1], V. Guida[1], L. Scelsi[1]
[1]Procter & Gamble Italia, Pomezia, Roma, Italy
Powder detergents containing sodium percarbonate and bleach activators undergo chemical decomposition when exposed to high relative humidity. Controlling the moisture intake in finished product packs is therefore a fundamental need in order to guarantee product stability during the whole supply chain. In this paper we show how we have leveraged COMSOL Multiphysics capability in order to model the ...
