Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released three draft guidance documents designed to assist industry in developing biosimilars. Biosimilar products are biological products shown to be highly similar (biosimilar) to biological products previously approved by FDA (known as reference products). Section 351(k) of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act), signed into law in March 2010 as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, established an abbreviated approval pathway for biosimilar products. Applications to FDA seeking approval of biosimilar products are known as 351(k) applications.
The draft guidances, which have been eagerly anticipated by biosimilars stakeholders for some time, address both scientific and quality considerations for demonstrating biosimilarity to reference products and also provide information about implementation of the BPCI Act in a Q&A format. Each guidance is briefly summarized below.
Guidance for Industry: Scientific Considerations in Demonstrating Biosimilarity to a Reference Product (Scientific Guidance)
According to the Scientific Guidance, "FDA intends to consider the totality of the evidence provided by a sponsor to support a demonstration of biosimilarity, and recommends that sponsors use a stepwise approach in their development of biosimilar products." (Scientific Guidance at 2.) The Guidance first acknowledges the unique complexities of protein products, and addresses the resulting scientific and manufacturing process considerations. The Guidance then outlines the stepwise approach to demonstrating biosimilarity and explains how FDA will use the totality of the evidence approach to assess that demonstration.

Wii U
I sent square-enix an email about kingdom hearts 3 not coming to Wii U.
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
Here it is:
Hello. I would like to bring to your attention this petition.
This is to ask you if it were anyway possible to bring the upcoming kingdom hearts 3 to the Wii U system. So far there have been 4 kingdom hearts games on nintendo systems. So there's definitely an audience for it. All the millions of nintendo fans really enjoy the kingdom hearts series too. It wouldn't be fair to force us to buy a new system (PS4/xbox one) just to play this one game. So please consider porting kingdom hearts 3 over to the Wii U. So more people can enjoy it. Thank you.
I'll post the reply when or if I get one.
You should have not said millions but many.

Wow...you should know these things do not work. I'm sorry but you will either have to buy a PS4 or hope it comes to PC. They aren't going to downgrade it to the Wii U unless it ends up selling very well to the point where third parties can't ignore it. I'm no console fanboy but it's about being practical and realistic.

Dear X,
Whatever happens, your email isn't going to make a difference, and isn't going to cause them to make any announcements or decisions.

You're doing it wrong, TC.
If YOU want the game, then YOU foot the bill to fund the wii u version. Get a kickstarter or something, not a pointless petition.
Fund the project, then square will pay attention to your cries.

Re: Floated off the stands
I am reviving this thread because I too had a boat in Sea Bright, NJ and she also floated off her stands. I'll say right off that my wife and I (not to mention my granddaughter) love this boat.
As luck would have it, when we hauled 3 weeks before the storm, I decided to take the mast down to check the rigging the furler etc. When the storm surge floated her off her stands the Hannah Lee looks to have floated in a circle bumped into a building and was then surrounded by 3 other boats. I was able to get to her a few weeks ago and found her scratched moderately but generally in good condition. The worst wear was under her bow where she must have been chafing on another boat, but even this is pretty cosmetic. There was no evidence of any water inside. The rudder turns stop to stop without a hitch. The keel has it's same old C&C smile but no other damage. The prop and shaft are intact and run true. I have started and winterized the engine with no problem. The mast on the other hand was under water and the head stay looks un-wound on the top near the fitting that is swaged on. The furler also was under water.
I thought that this was really good news until yesterday when the surveyor called and hinted that the repaint job alone could exceed their value for the boat. He hasn't finished the paperwork so the exact numbers aren't available yet.
So here are my questions:
If they "total " the boat, is their "buy back" price negotiable? Are there ways to mitigate the approximately $300/ foot repaint costs? (Tip and Brush it myself? Ugh.) What would I need to do to the mast to minimize the effects of the salt water bath? Is it possible to get a slightly used Furler? Are they difficult to install seeing that the mast is down? Would I have any trouble re-surveying the boat after the repairs so I could get the boat re-insured? What other issues am I likely to run up against?
Thanks for your input.

Added extras
Hello readers. I must warn you that I'm going to be rather boring this month, so if you've got any ironing to do I suggest you get on with it while you're waiting for the next column to start.
The thing is that for the very first time in my life I've bought a brand new car, and unfortunately it's made me jolly cross. With Ferrari.
And no, I haven't bought a Ferrari. But this all began when Jeremy started investigating the options list on the new F430, and discovered a few examples of the unexplained. If you want red brake calipers, that's an extra £500. Maybe that's fair enough. Maybe special heat-resistant red paint is expensive and difficult to apply. But if you want yellow calipers, that'll be £560.
Why is this? As far as I can see, painting the calipers yellow instead of red involves nothing more than the caliper-painting man reaching for a tin of yellow instead of a tin of red. So where does the extra £60 come from, eh? I suppose if you're spending around £120,000 on a car the odd £60 is neither here nor there; then again, if you're charging £120,000 for a car it's neither here nor there either, so that's no excuse.
And then there's the seat stitching. One way or another, the seats have to be sewn together, otherwise you'd soon end up with a pile of useless leather in the footwell. But if you select a special colour for the thread, it costs you £260. Now – as far as I can make out, this involves nothing more than the seat-stitcher inserting a different reel of cotton into the sewing machine, and that operation simply cannot be worth £260, even at Ferrari. Just to be certain of my ground here, I've been to John Lewis and can confirm that £260 would buy enough thread to sew Guy Fawkes and all of his chums back together.
When I thought about it, I realised this sort of thing has been going on for years. I remember a time when BMW charged extra for something called, I think, the 'smoker delete package'. This involved removing the ashtray and lighter and blanking off the resulting holes, which is a bit churlish really since those bits they took out could then be used on another car. So not only were they relieving you of the money you'd saved by not buying any fags, they were also saving themselves a few bob into the bargain. That was a dopple whammy for Bavarian book-keeping.
And so it goes on. To get to the point: I've now ordered a new Porsche Boxster S, because Porsche is upfront and its option pricing is transparent. The Boxster is the best mid-priced roadster and my faith in it can only increase given those halfwits Hammond and Clarkson think the Mercedes SLK is somehow a better car.
"The completely standard Boxster S exists only in theory. It should be considered in the way that Spain is; unfinished"
I know what you're thinking; you're thinking, (I bet he did a deal with Porsche because he works for Top Gear and they gave him a big discount), but you'd be as wrong as the big gay one and the irritating little sod are about German sports cars. I went into my local dealership like anyone else and ordered it at the full price.
(The honest truth is that I went into my local Porsche shop to buy a replacement light bulb for my old 911, but was seduced by the charming lady with the tea and biscuits, the brochures and every other device used by the salesman to part the fool from the money he doesn't even have. But anyway.)
This is where the whole thing becomes... well, I was about to say interesting, but then I remembered that I've already admitted how boring it is. (Still ironing?) Bear with me here.
The completely standard Boxster S is something that only really exists in theory, a little bit like hyperspace. What we think of as 'the Boxster S' should really be considered in the way that Spain is; ie not finished yet. This is because it's designed to be 'personalised' by the buyer.
So I ordered the full leather interior, which cost me £1,150. Then I ordered a special, non-standard leather colour, cocoa brown, which added another £1,395. But I said I wanted the steering wheel in black. That's what I would have got if I'd just ordered the standard black interior, and it wouldn't have cost me anything. Fair?
I never said this was going to be gripping and, to be frank, it gets worse.
Now Porsche says it wants another £500 for the black steering wheel. How can this be? It's the steering wheel they would have been obliged to put on if I hadn't said anything, if you see what I mean. Unless they're going to admit to the folly of producing a brown steering wheel and then re-trimming it in the black it would have been in the first place, I should really be given a small discount for saving a bit of brown leather.
I have to say that the dealership has been perfectly charming about all this and its staff are clearly as embarrassed as I am perplexed. So eventually I rang Porsche myself. Someone there told me it was something to do with an XP90 ordering code which is completely meaningless to me. They say if I don't want the brown steering wheel then I have to shell out for an optional sports steering wheel. In black. But I don't want a sports steering wheel; I want the unused one gathering dust in the parts bin. They're asking me to pay to remove an option I've already paid to have in the first place, which is a bit like ordering a pizza margarita with extra anchovies and then quietly slipping the waiter a quid to get rid of the anchovies and put more cheese on the top instead.
The whole thing is so boring I'm beginning to bore myself, but at least I've finally come up with a case for the Nissan Murano. This is a very good car but one I don't particularly like – it's too brash, and its teeth are too chromed. What I do like, however, is that there are no options to be had on it. Everything is standard, and anything that isn't standard can't be had at all.
You either buy it, or you don't buy it. In fact, it's the best car on sale in Britain today.

Perrin et Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards 2005
Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape Les Sinards is made from the traditional varieties of Chateauneuf du Pape from Chateau de Beaucastel's own vineyard and from other top quality growers in the appellation. Predominately Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre, the wine is rich and silky with a deep red color. With the gamy, earthy quality that Beacastel is know for, Les Sinards is long on the palate with rounded tannins.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Lovely kirsch and plum cake aromas and flavors lead the way, with a silky palate of currant and mineral that glides through the long finish. Not as densely structured as the top 2005s, but pure and wonderfully balanced. Drink now through 2020. 8,330 cases made."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2005 Perrin et Fils Chateauneuf du Pape Les Sinards exhibits greater ripeness than the 2006 but a longer and more complete mouthfeel, with medium to full body, and terrific concentration and richness for what is essentially a declassified, young vine Beaucastel cuvee blended with another parcel. This wine should drink well young but last for 15 or more years."
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Dark cherry and blackberry aromas are enlivened by zesty mineral and floral qualities, picking up sexy baking spices with air. Vibrant red berry flavors show very good depth. This midweight, made from the young vines of Beaucastel, finishes with pronounced sweetness. "

Perrin et Fils Winery
Jean-Pierre, François and Pierre Perrin are proud to present their fine wines, inspired by the memory of their grandfather, Pierre Perrin. Using the same techniques employed at Château de Beaucastel, the Perrins have added some interesting appellations to their already impressive list of wines.
"Jean-Pierre and François Perrin - chosen among the Most Influential Wine Personalities of the last 20 Years. The Perrins believe in natural winemaking, unfiltered wines, and routinely produce long-lived classics that are among the finest in the world." -Robert M. Parker, Jr's The Wine Advocate View all Perrin et Fils Wines
About Chateauneuf-du-PapeView a map of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries (shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s – it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the "new papal home," referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome.
Photo of galets covering the soil at Chateau de Beaucastel
Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

posted 7 years ago
At first my little bunny girl really liked this, she would dig and dig, the tug and chew. It was pretty funny. Now we occasionally chews on it, and dig at it a bit more than that. Recently she has been having more fun playing with a towel.
Pros: Good for digging and chewing
Cons: Gets boring

How do you IM on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad? We recently asked what Twitter app you used most and got tons of feedback, including that many of you prefer IM to Twitter, or don't use Twitter at all. Fine then! Ally has already posted up her top 5 IM/instant messenger apps for iPhone but we want to know more!
What service do you prefer for IM on your iPhone? Are you an old school instant messenger user and stick to AIM, MSN/Windows Live, ICQ, GoogleTalk, etc. or do you prefer something BBM-like such as WhatsApp, Kik or Beluga? If it's a traditional service, what app do you prefer, the official client or something that handles multiple accounts like BeeJive or IM+? Or does SMS (or even Twitter) replace IM for you? And finally do you use the same same services and apps on your iPhone/iPod touch as you do your iPad or computer, or do you mix it up?
Let us know -- how do you use IM on iOS?

TiPb Asks: How do you IM on your iPhone or iPad?
Beejive, whatsapp and good old text message. Never did understand what's so good about BBM. Other than the fact u can tell if someone has read a message. Thing is I DON'T like the fact someone can tell if I have read their message. Sometimes I just don't want to reply or have no answer yet. Can BBM do a group chat? Like a chat room? If it can do that then I can see why it's so highly regarded. Otherwise I find my native SMS to be just as good.
While i can't bring myself to use text. I"m with you on the unified app. I would love to see Apple come up with a unified solution. a default IOS IM client (A la BBM from blackberry)but with extending to support 3rd party IM protocols like WML/Yahoo/Gtalk etc...
They should include the usual list of features
Group messaging
File transfers
Location check-ins
Deliver/Read status
"Contact is typing" feature
and in true apple fashion, make it sexy :D
BeejiveIM on both platforms.
Windows Live Messenger :)
I use Pingchat. I've converted most of my old BBM buddies over to it as well. Especially after the new update which allows for the removal of ads. Group Chat, Delivered/Read tags, and the ability to see when the person your talking to is typing...not to mention that its free = BBM replacement.
Yes.... File transfers are supported.
IM+ Pro on both iPhone and iPad. I like beejive, but they still do not support showing avatar for Yahoo accounts (why????). I hate seeing a grey head instead of my own avatar.
As for "service", I use Yahoo Messenger (via IM+ Pro). I hate MSN.
After trying out a bunch of IM clients i settled on IMO. It's a simple Multi IM client supporting the major players.
My prerequisites for this we're...
- It has to be free (I don't believe in paying for IM clients)
- Must be cross Platform (I have friends on Android and BB)
- It shouldn't ask you to create a separate ID for it's service (I don't need another account to manage)
- Should be simple and straight forward (If it's much more complicated than texting then what's the point)
I use Nimbuzz on both the iPhone and iPad. It's not universal, so I have to go 2x on the iPad, but it's not really an issue since the graphics don't matter much.
I'm surprised there's no mention of Nimbuzz here? I've been using it since my BB days and once I got an iPhone (back when the 3GS was released) I went through all the different options (IM+, Meebo, eBuddy, etc.) but Nimbuzz still remained my top pick. It's free and very stable, no time limitations being "online", etc. Supports multiple accounts for messaging (Google Talk, Facebook, MSN, ICQ, Skype, etc.), you can use it for initiating a voice calling via Google Talk, MSN, Skype users, and you can send photos and videos from your device to others. There's also a web-client for those times when I'm at the desktop/laptop and I don't have my iOS device with me.
I've been using it for years — just wish it was a universal app so I didn't have to go 2x on my iPad. Only other thing on the wish list would be the ability to combine contacts (ie. if a particular contact is on both Facebook and Google Talk, they'd appear as a single user online vs being in the contact list twice), like you can do with Adium (on the desktop).
I have used Beejive since it first came out, but only for my one Google Talk account. I switched to Beejive GT when it came out, seems a little lighter and have had zero connection issues with it (I used to have connection issues with the full grown version of Beejive).
I use iChat on my laptop, and run a "dummy account in addition to my actual GT account so I can IM things to my phone.
I'm honestly using FaceTime (Mac/iPhone/iPad) now more than anything with the girlfriend. It just needs 3G. Text message with friends. It's the only thing that some people know how to do.
Plus texts are tied to their mobile number. Easy to remember. No additional name or id or requests.
Whatsapp intge first place, bejivee, (that I did buy when I had my first iPhone) and I like it, then I tried beluga, pingchat, liveprofile, yahoo, and couples more.
I whatsapp is the number one for me. I got only 73 contacts and it works nice.
Btw, we don't need bbm.
iPhone > Meebo
IM+ plus whatsapp. I love the fact that on IM+, I can set a notification for a specific person so I get an alert when that person signs on. (it's only cyberstalking if the other person doesn't know and care I'm doing it, right? ;-). Whatsapp is great because it's fast and dead simple to use.
I use Meebo app. I like it because it keeps a history (log) of my texting. So no matter if I am on my PC, iPad, iPhone, I can pull up the log and see what conversation or information I need to pull up on the person I am talking with. GREAT APP.
For SMS, I disabled at&t's SMS (screw them, $30 for unlimited) and use HeyWire app (or website app). It is free and I can SMS internationally at no extra charge. Free is Free!!
Beejive on the iPhone, plus Skype chat for a few relatives who only do that.
I use Talkatone for pure IMing (uses Google Talk). I also use it's Google Voice integration to make and receive VoIP calls and I use the new updated version of Sean Kovacs' GV Mobile+ for Google Voice SMS. To me, IM and GV SMS are very similar conceptually, so the line is a bit blurry...
just skype with my wife... nice for video calls too
I know. She seems to really enjoy it when I Skype her.
I don't. IM'ing is stupid.
I use imo on both my iPhone and my iPad. Prior to that I bought Beejive waay back, but imo is free, provides push notification, stays logged in for 72 hours, and works very well on all the protocols I use (MSN, Gtalk, Facebook IM, Yahoo, etc.)
Beejive IM! On both iPad and iPhone. It's the best hands down. I've also tested many many others such as trillian, IM+, ebuddy..etc but none beats beejive
agreed - beejive is the best. Im in the office alot and have friend in different areas of the world. Facebook is the best/ easiest way to connect everyone and i tend to stay logged on for 24 hours at a time. after trying a slew of IM clients (including im+) Beejive was by far the best. Services, connectivity, and a clean looking ui.
BiteSMS (enough free SMS in my plan), WhatsApp (it's pretty good, got many additional functions like sending positions, and many friends have it as well, but you can't trust it 100% that the receiver really gets a push notification and sees the message in time), sometimes (rarely) BeejiveIM (with people on Windows Live Messenger).
I use Meebo, Includes all the major IM services.
And to all of those who say IM is stupid, just use texting---
Well, There are a lot of people that dont have smartphones or phones with keyboards and some people are on their home computers using, Facebook, AIM, MSN, Google Chat, etc.
So its a cool way to chat with those that are online at home. whlie you are on the go.
you should try Meebo, its free. (or any other all-in-one IM app)
Its an all-in-one messenger but you can set it up so it only signs you on to yahoo.
I've been happy with it :)
TextPlus , simply because coming from a blackberry world I did alot of group convos bid BBM, with TextPlus you can have groups using SMS which is just pure genius !
I didn't buy into the iOS ecosystem until I was happy with the way IM performed on it. Third party push support and Beejive did that for me.
However, as time went on, I found that IM was no longer important to me. I haven't launched Beejive in months, and all the activities that I used to use IM for now go over twitter. In the rare instances where I want to send a private message, twitter's direct messages or SMS fill that role just fine.
I use IM+ to stay connected to gtalk and facebook chat all the time. I love how it will push IMs to me no matter what im doing, the only down side, is if Im doing something memory intensive on my phone, like playing a game, iOS will kill IM+ for resources. I have to constantly reopen the app to make sure its running.
liveprofile. but its horrible the last few days aka since they opened it up to blackberries. its a great app but they are in DESPERATE need of a massive server upgrade.
Meebo gets the job done for me, really like the easy interface
IMO. Integrates Skype, Yahoo, GTalk, and Facebook.
Also use Google Voice as I live in Hong Kong and it allows me to text friends and family back in The States for free.
I use Beejive IM for msn. It gets buggy from time to time, but much better than most of other apps out there. give it a try! :D
Also, if you have alot of android/iphone friends, try Kakaotalk. its free, and is very easy to use. It automatically gets friends from your contact list. pretty simple and easy stuff. Personally, i think it is just as good as BBM. thanks for reading XD
As seen by previous answers there IS a great diversity out there, and since if you only communicate with 5 or less people that would not be a problem, if you do it with more you´ll need an array of programs to do so. More if you have a lot of friends in other parts of the world. So Skype for voice and Whatssup for text. Traditional IM´s with Trillian, mainly because of the ability to switch back and forth from computer to mobile device and maintain the thread of the ceonversation.
My two favorite and essential apps are Beejive IM and BiteSMS. I also have IM+ but only use it when I can't connect to Skype through the other app. I love PingChat but only know a couple of people who have it. I used to use verychat at some point with one friend but after an upgrade it does not let me login or even sign up.
The thing is everybody uses different app and they have their favorite such as some will only IM you through FB... so you have to satisfy everyone...
I used several random free apps as well as IM+ and eBuddy (both lite and pro versions of each). I used Meebo a tad too. I didn't like any of them very much at all, eBuddy seemed to crash a lot and IM+ began crashing after OS4 and having great difficulty connecting. I use Trillian on my computer so I had been very interested in seeing the sync between the phone and computer. Finally after the latest beta release that feature began and I bit the bullet to pay for yet another iPhone IM app. I was SOO PLEASED. I've never been happier with an IM program on my phone and the constant sync between devices is SO wonderful. I can literally walk away from my computer and within thirty seconds it begins notifying me on my phone of new messages, but when I'm on my computer the messages go there and not to my phone. I LOVE IT.
I use WhatsApp as it is cross platform for talking to BB users.
i dont wanna pay 0.99$ (Kik Messenger its free)
i use Kik its really cool you guys should try!!
-BeeJive for all my IM services except skype.
-Skype for mobile to desktop Video chat.
-Before I switched to unlimited texting I used TextFree with Voice. < One of the best apps in the app store IMO
-Heytell for when I'm driving or do not feel like typing out a text.
-Tango for video chat anywhere

BAYTOWN, Texas A 41-year-old woman has been charged after she was accused of having a relationship with an underage male teenager in Baytown, police said.
Tamika Patrice Taylor, of Baytown, is charged with sexual assault of a child and continuous sexual assault of a child, court records state.
According to the Baytown Police Department, Taylor met the teenage victim, who lived in the same apartment complex located in the 1300 block of Memorial Drive, in 2012.
Investigators said the two developed a sexual relationship. After Taylor sent naked photos of herself to the victim, she invited him over to her apartment where the two then had sex.
Then victim s mother had located derogatory text messages sent between the two, police said. She then confronted Taylor, who denied sending her son the text messages and photos.
The victim s mother began investigating and the messages later continued, police said. She then questioned her son more with questions until he admitted that he and Taylor had been having a sexual relationship for some time.
Investigators found that Taylor and the victim had sex on three separate occasions.
The mother reported the incident to police, who then arrested Taylor after an investigation.
Taylor was interviewed by detectives and she confessed to having a sexual relationship with the teen.
Taylor's total bonds have been set at $80,000 and she remains in police custody.

Get information on wedding reception for brides for low costs so you have a marvelous wedding.
Wedding Reception for Brides on a Budget "Creating a beautiful wedding environment on a budget is simple," says Cid Busarow, a party planner and owner of the Fish Creek House Bed and Breakfast in Whitehall, Montana. "By putting a personal touch on everything from table centerpieces to wedding favors, brides and grooms can save while creating memories for years to come." While June is still the most popular month for weddings, according to a recent study by Hallmark.com, September and October are quickly gaining in popularity.Cid Busarow offers some great last-minute planning tips this fall for brides and grooms-to-be: * If renting a reception tent, create a romantic environment by purchasing sheering fabric and 2-inch ribbon from a local discount retailer to drape around the canopy. Create billows of fabric and hang from the ceiling, wrap around poles, and swag in the entryway. * Whether throwing an indoor or outdoor reception, flowers help set the tone but can quickly add up. A typical flower budget is 15 percent of the overall cost of a wedding. Consider using some of the beautiful and realistic-looking silk flowers available today intermingled with arrangements of fresh flowers to keep the romance high and the costs low. The bride and groom can use the silk flowers in the home for years to come. * Every bride wants to do something unique at her wedding. Create a dramatic, sweet-smelling entrance for guests by lining a walkway to the reception venue or reception tent with fresh rose petals. Also consider renting a bubble machine, available at retailers such as Wal-Mart, for some added ambiance and fun. * Renting both table settings and white linen tablecloths can get expensive. Instead, consider purchasing clear glass plates from a discount retailer. Stack the salad plate on top of the dinner plate and place a large leaf between the two for a very pretty place setting. Buying plates is often less expensive than renting and the bride and groom can keep them for the years (and dinner parties) ahead. * Remember to keep centerpieces either low enough or high enough so guests can see each other from across the table. A simple cake pedestal adorned with sugared fruits and a candle makes a beautiful and an inexpensive centerpiece. Add to the sugary sparkle by placing candles in votive candle holders to illuminate the centerpieces from underneath. Remember to place approximately half an inch of water in each candle holder or glass for easy removal of melted wax. * For more formal wedding receptions, assigning guests to tables is considered proper etiquette but that doesn't mean it has to be stuffy. Purchase large sugar cookies and pipe romantic words like "joy," "hope," "love," and "forever" on each cookie. Place one cookie in each centerpiece to replace traditional numbered tables and have your place cards direct your guests to these romantically identified tables. * Wedding favors that double as place cards can be made by purchasing sugar cookies from a local bakery that are iced in white. Pipe each guest's names on the cookies in colored icing a day or two before the wedding. Place in cellophane bags, tied with a ribbon, and set at each guest's place setting so guests know where to sit. * Handmade keepsakes given out during the wedding reception are an easy and thoughtful way to thank the wedding party. Create beautiful, unique cards for the bridesmaids by purchasing simple white note cards, decorated with the wedding's theme colors embellished with different fabrics or small trinkets purchased from a craft department. Write a cherished memory or personal note inside the card, which bridesmaids can keep for the years to come. * And don't forget the wedding cake, which can be very expensive, depending on the number of guests attending. Consider purchasing a decorated sheet cake from a local bakery in addition to a smaller tiered cake. Then marry them together as one elaborate cake with piping and rose petals.

PH record companies score win vs download site
IPOPHL slaps 72-hr TRO on website
popular .
Philippine record labels scored a legal victory against piracy when the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) slapped a 72-hour temporary restraining order on www.Kat.ph, which users can access to download music for free.
Based on the three-page order from IPOPHL dated June 7, the Bureau of Legal Affairs found basis to issue a TRO, to prevent the owners of Kat.ph or Kickasstorrent from "continuously facilitating the reproduction and distribution of the copyrighted sound recordings of the complainants," represented by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry Inc.
This group is comprised of MCA Music Inc., PolyEast Records Corp., Vicor Music Corp., Viva Records Corp. and Warner Music Philippines Inc.
The TRO likewise ordered DOTPH, the official domain registry in the Philippines, to stop providing the domain name Kat.ph, thus disabling the website.
"The matter is of extreme urgency since Kat.ph continually facilitates the unauthorized file sharing of OPM songs and DOTPH continues to provide the domain name kat.ph, which if not restrained, will cause grave injustice and irreparable injury to complainants," the order stated.
The TRO has lapsed but Pari has sought to make the TRO permanent, thus contributing to the country's efforts to fight piracy.
Pari members sell and distribute the majority of all recorded music in the Philippines and own the copyright to thousands of sound recordings.
As owner of the sound recordings, the members of the group have the "exclusive right to authorize the direct and indirect reproduction of their sound recordings in any manner or form and the placing of these reproductions in the market."
Kat.ph is considered a "BitTorrent website where users can download copyright materials through BitTorrent/HTTP/FTP download management software. BitTorrent works by downloading small bits of file from many different web sources at the same time," the order said.

Crucifix (Cimabue, Santa Croce)
Crucifix (c. 1265) is a large, badly damaged, distemper on wood painting by the Italian painter and mosaicist Cimabue, one of his three surviving painted crucifixions. It is one of the first Italian artworks to break away from the Byzantine style. It is renowned both for its technical innovations and for its move towards a more humanistic interpretation of religious iconography and the representation of saints. Cimabue confronts the viewer with a mercilessly realistic depiction of the passion at Calvary and a limp, defeated body of Christ on the cross. In its graphic depiction of human suffering and physical pain, the painting is of seminal importance in the history of art and has influenced painters from Michelangelo and Caravaggio to Velasquez and later Francis Bacon.[1][2]
Cimabue's Christ possesses a more naturalistic and physically accurate appearance than its artistic predecessors. In contrast to other crucifixion scenes of the time, Christ's eyes are closed, his face lifeless and defeated, and his body slumped in rigor mortis, obviously contorted from the prolonged agonies leading up to death. The work anticipates that of Cimabue's pupil Giotto, in particular his great suspended crucifix at Santa Maria Novella (1300)[3] and his later Rimini crucifix (c. 1310-1317). While Cimabue mostly retains the static pose, rich gilding and monumentality of the Byzantine tradition, a number of elements in this work hint at a new, more naturalistic approach. The work reflects the influence of both architecture and sculpture, adding to the visual effect of the Christ rising above the cross.
The painting hung in the Basilica di Santa Croce, Florence from the late thirteenth century until 1966, when it was severely damaged in the Arno flood[4] and lost almost 60% of its paint. The restoration took ten years and required reapplication of nearly the entire painted surface and a complete dismantling and reconstruction.
Franciscan influence[edit]
Cimabue's three painted crucifixes were all commissioned by Franciscan orders. The order, founded by Saint Francis of Assisi, was reformist in many ways, and his religious vision was to have a profound effect on the visual arts in the century after his death. The son of a wealthy cloth merchant, Francis abandoned the worldly life in his mid twenties and took up preaching. He celebrated and even venerated poverty in his teachings, at the same time developing a profound appreciation for the beauty of nature. These ideals of simplicity and naturalism had a strong impact on 13th century iconography, infusing it with the new values of humanism.[5][6]
Earlier Byzantine depictions of the cross tended to show Christ as invincible even in death–his eyes wide open, his skin unblemished, and his body full of power, a symbol of everlasting life. This ideal had come to be known as the Christus triumphans ("Triumphant Christ"), however many felt it bore little relation to the actual sufferings endured during the crucifixion and thus only served to reinforce the perceived remove between divine and human.[7] It further conflicted with the Franciscan reverence for the suffering of Christ.[8] From about 1240 onward, artists increasingly depicted the scene in a style that became known as Christus patiens ("Suffering Christ"), a Christ who carries the burden and pain of humanity. The Santa Croce Crucifix is one of the earliest and best known examples of this type. Contemporaries such as Dante held the view that Giotto, who was most likely Cimabue's pupil, developed and perfected the innovations of his master and in the end outshone him.[9]
The church at Santa Croce was the third building Franciscans constructed at the site. It was begun in 1295, some 10-15 years after Cimabue completed his Crucfix, which is believed to have been commissioned for the earlier church, where it probably hung over the altar or above the rood screen,[8] which would typically have contained a representation of the Crucifixion.
The panel[edit]
Christ's body is shown nearly naked and contorted by the agonies of death. He wears a diaphanous perizoma (loincloth) that reveals his thighs and buttocks and almost accentuates his nakedness. His body seems almost raised against the flat cross on which he is nailed to. He is flanked on either side by representations of The Virgin and John the Evangelist shown in mourning in rectangular panels at either end of his outstretched arms. Both are shown with agonised expressions, resting their heads on their right hands. In keeping with the Franciscan idea, the gilding surrounding these two saints has been kept at a reduced, minimal level. In comparison to earlier works of his type, Christ's body bears more of a physical presence. His hands and feet extend beyond the canvas as delineated by the flat, coloured borders of the cross[6] which is made up of at least six panels. Both his body and semi-circular nimbus are placed at angles which raise them outwards and above the level of the cross.[10]
Christ's body is less stylised and more human that in Cimabue's c 1268 Arezzo crucifix, while the close attention to anatomy is more pronounced. His head hangs in exhaustion, his hands bleed where the nails have been driven in.[11] His arms are placed higher above his head, so that they visibly strain as carry the weight of his whole body, which is shown as slumped in a dramatic almost feminine curve[12] indicating the contortions and agony suffered before death.
Because of the lack of written record, it is difficult to unsigned attribute works from the period with any degree of certainty. Although Crucifix's origin has often been contested, it is generally still thought be from Cimabue, mostly owing to separate identifications given by Vasari and Nicolò Albertini. It shows a relatively primitive approach compared to identified works from the 1290s, especially after Giotto it could be considered as an important transitional piece but "antiquated". It is thus believed to date from Cimabue's early period.[13]
Damage and restoration[edit]
The crucifix was installed in church of Santa Croce at the end of the thirteenth century and remained there until 1966, when the banks of the Arno river burst and flooded the Florence. Thousands of art works were damaged or destroyed, and the Crucifix–widely considered the most important piece affected by the flood–lost 60% of its paint. It had suffered earlier flood damage in 1333 and 1557. In 1966 it was on display in the lower Museo dell' Opera, closer to the waterline than it had been during earlier floods. The water level reached the height of Christ's nimbus, and when it retreated it took large tracts of paint with it. The water left the canvas stripped, with tiny specks of pigment floating around it (which were picked up with pliers by staff wading in the water after the torrents had subsided), and deposited oil, mud and naphtha on the wood frame.[14]
It took a team of restorers lead by Umberto Baldini at the "Laboratario del Restauro" in Florence[14] ten years to reapply the paint in an almost pointillist manner with the aid of computer modeling. The wooden frame had become weak, and it was necessary to separate it from the both the gesso and canvas to prevent buckling as the reapplied paint dried.[14] The restorers succeeded in returning the work close to its original appearance, and it was put back on public display in 1976.[11] The skill of the restoration brought the painting additional fame, and since then it has been loaned to galleries outside Italy, the first time it had left Florence since its inception. According to critic Waldemar Januszczak it was taken "around the globe in a curious, post-restoration state—part original artwork, part masterpiece of modern science...a thirteenth century—twentieth-century hybrid."[4]

Batista's Return To WWE: "Monday Night Raw marks the return of Batista. Dave has been away from WWE doing film work, etc for around 4 years. His return is going to be perceived by the TV viewer/WWE fan only as big as it's made to be tonight on live television. The pressures on. When will Batista be first re-introduced on the show? If it's me, I'd consider doing it in the last segment of the broadcast.
Establish that Batista is in the arena and then facilitate him making a major impact on night one. Much like the slogan being utilized on the WWE Network, go over the top. Certainly Batista could be paraded out to the live audience earlier and then, later, have him do a heroic run on to garner another 'pop' as there are always multiple ways to do something the right way in the world of entertainment and in sports.
WWE's Promotion of The Royal Rumble: "How WWE strategically produces tonight's broadcast has me especially anxious to watch it. There are many stories to forward all the while getting one last shot on their franchise broadcast to sell PPV's for Sunday's Royal Rumble. One thing for sure is that the Rumble Match needs a lot of promotional love tonight."
Brock Lesnar & Big Show: "Brock Lesnar is scheduled to be on RAW tonight and that rare appearance can't be taken for granted and requires creating water cooler talk in some regard. Brock is too much of an investment and has too few dates to have a pedestrian appearance for Lesnar who's preparing to face Big Show this Sunday. Brock vs. Show needs another log on the fire."

CHENNAI/RAMANATHAPURAM: The Muthupet lagoon, spread over 11,885 hectares along the Palk Straits covering Tiruvarur and Thanjavur districts in Tamil Nadu, will soon be brought under a security blanket.
As part of an elaborate security plan to upgrade vigil in shallow waters, the Coastal Security Group on Monday acquired eight rigid inflatable speed boats under the Modernisation of Police Force scheme. They are being tested off the Mandapam Coast.
The move gains prominence in the backdrop of the war between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and armed forces in Sri Lanka that has geographical proximity to the south-eastern coastline. Also, this is considered as an important step in enhancing maritime security that has gained more significance after the recent Mumbai attacks.
A group of personnel of the marine police station at Mandapam ventured into the sea with the new boats. Ramanathapuram Superintendent of Police K.A. Senthil Velan and the Commanding Officer of the Coast Guard Station, Mandapam, Commandant K. Janardhanan, were among those who travelled in the first sortie.
G. Venugopal, Inspector, Marine Station, Mandapam said the boats could travel at 30 nautical miles per hour and had 75 HP outboard motor engine.
The Coastal Security Group has also placed orders for rubber inflatable boats for patrolling the backwaters.
The boats would be deployed in the Palk Bay between January and June and in the Gulf of Mannar during the rest of the year considering the sea conditions. Patrolling would be conducted with the assistance of the Coast Guard and Navy. The 120 personnel attached to the Coastal Security Group would undergo a one-week training programme, he said.
Mr. Seshadri, who is also heading the Coastal Security Group, said the first phase of supply of sophisticated boats, being imported from Greece and assembled by the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, would commence in a couple of months.
"The Muthupet lagoon is strategically very important to us. It is protected by one of the largest mangrove forests in the country. Effective patrolling is imperative from the security point of view. The lagoon is presently under the control of the Forest Department and we have proposed to bring it under a security blanket," Director-General of Police (Civil Defence), Jagan. M. Seshadri told The Hindu.

Fewer feds, contractors attending conferences
Budget cuts and bad publicity have combined to put the kibosh on both the number of government conferences scheduled this year and the number of employees and contractors attending them, according to a new poll from Market Connections, Inc. and Boscobel Marketing Communications. Among federal employees, nearly 72 percent of survey respondents said they have attended fewer events in fiscal 2013 than they did last year.

When Bob Asbury started his career with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department 36 years ago under Craig Snell, he received two pairs of pants, three shirts and a badge. He had to supply the rest of the equipment, including his gun and bullets.
In fact, two older people in the department went with him to Roses to buy bullets because he had to be 21 to purchase ammunition, he says. After that, he rode with former Deputy Ken Roberts for two evenings, then was on his own.
During his 32 years with the department, he worked as a deputy, started the narcotics division as a detective, supervised patrol officers, then managed the jail for 11 years as chief deputy.
The department staff rose from 35 to nearly 450 as Asbury climbed the ranks over three decades. Still, his position wasn't secure, and when Sheriff Robert Arnold took office four years ago, he resigned after being offered a job as night-shift jailer.
As the Republican primary approaches May 6, Asbury says his experience, management philosophy and conservative fiscal stance separate him from Arnold in the sheriff race.
"I do not agree with the way money has been spent," Asbury says, pointing out the sheriff's office budget is up $8 million in the last three years.
In his last year, 2010, the jail budget was $12 million but has jumped to $15 million, he says.
The budget for overtime pay also has risen $1.1 million, about three times as much as it was, according to Asbury. Meanwhile, the drug fund, which is derived largely from narcotics seizures and arrests, is nearly "depleted," he says.
Besides reining in spending, Asbury says he would change operations in several ways, primarily by eliminating some of the divisions set up by Arnold and allowing patrol deputies to take on more responsibilities. For instance, patrol deputies should be allowed to work wrecks and transport prisoners while working their zones, instead of calling the traffic division or transport division to handle those responsibilities, Asbury says.
In addition, some officers are being paid overtime for hospital duty when that could be split by deputies, he says.
Asbury also disagrees with 12-hour shifts sheriff's office personnel are working. He says he would go through the entire budget and personnel to simplify matters and make sure people are working in the right areas.
The former chief deputy, who is now working for the marshal's service at the federal courthouse in Nashville, says he believes the drug fund is being used for "frivolous spending," such as stereos for unmarked cars, fancy light bars and numerous other items.
Arnold persuaded the Rutherford County Commission in 2013 to remove narcotics detectives' salaries from the drug fund, largely by arguing that they shouldn't be trying to arrest people to fund their pay.
"I don't consider that fishing for your pay. That's their job," Asbury says. He adds, "Why does everything have to fall back on property taxpayers?"
Asbury also believes three sets of uniforms, new weapons, furniture and new vehicles purchased during Arnold's first term were wasteful spending.
"There's no reason for anyone except patrol officers to get new cars," Asbury says.
While Arnold has touted numerous renovations at the sheriff's office during his first term, Asbury says improvements to the jail's kitchen and several other projects were planned when he was serving as chief deputy. In fact, Asbury says he worked with an architect to draw up plans for the new jail kitchen.
Former Sheriff Truman Jones didn't give Asbury much choice when he asked him to take over jail operations 15 years ago, but now Asbury calls his 11 years as jail administrator the most rewarding.
At one point in his career, all he focused on was arresting criminals and locking them up. But after he took the post, aside from having to hire about 100 new officers, he realized that the sheriff's office should be making a positive impact on inmates.
"You need to spend that time to offer them the opportunity to change their lives," Asbury says.
He began offering them anger management courses, parenting classes, life-skills training and initiated a therapeutic community in which inmates in one pod governed themselves, took classes, helped each other and developed communication skills.
"It was just a fantastic experiment," he says, noting it also helped dissolve adversarial relationships between jailers and inmates.
Throughout the department, Asbury says he wants to create a "stable work environment," one in which staff members won't be afraid of demotion or firing if they hold a different opinion from the sheriff.
With that in mind, he wants to create a civil service or merit system within his first term, if he's elected, so people won't be in danger of losing their jobs in a sheriff administration change.
"As long as they're doing their job they should have nothing to worry about," Asbury says.
And, of course, they won't have to buy their own bullets, either.

In Reply to: The Famous Jeep Grand Cherokee Electrical Problem by trevtaylor
I would check to see if any "recalls" have been made on that model to include 1yr. before/after your yr.. With all the problems, it can include the wire harness and the panel/gauges themselves as they are now so electronic. If you can, remove the gauge panel and inspect it, its not unknown to have flaked flat wires peel away or burnt. To include the electronics, etc., thus you may want to know a junk yard to salvage such parts rather buy new, as they cost. On top of all this, the parts cost, it maybe just so dang hard to remove/service buried parts like the gauge panel so proceed at own risk. -----Willy

Malaysia tightens control of barter trade, flow of foreigners into Sabah
More News from Tarra Quismundo
MANILA, Philippines—While the Philippines has not given up its claim to Sabah, the Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur has asked Filipino barter traders to comply with fresh Malaysian regulations "notably requiring Filipinos and other foreigners" to present passports or seaman's books if they wish to do business in the disputed state and the neighboring territory of Labuan.
In a statement, the Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur said the new guidelines would take effect on April 15, according to a note verbale the Malaysian Foreign Ministry sent to diplomatic missions around Malaysia.
The document states that crews of trade ships or vessels will be required "to produce valid travel documents, i.e. international passport or seaman's book at all entry ports in Sabah." The documents are now required before Malaysia issues Seaman Identification Cards (SICs) to Filipino barter traders.
This tightens immigration control in Malaysian ports allowing the barter trade—Sandakan, Tawau and Kudat in Sabah and one in the Federal Territory of Labuan—where Filipino traders previously only had to present a valid medical examination certificate and pay 50 Malaysian Ringgit in order to be issued SICs.
The document added that permanent Customs and Immigration Quarantine posts will start operations in ports in the towns of Kudat and Lahad Datu on Apr. 2, along with an Immigration Control Office at Karakit, Pulau Banggi also in Sabah "where all immigration and customs procedures will be enforced."
"The Embassy wishes to call the attention of all barter traders and other concerned parties to the new regulation, otherwise they may be significantly inconvenienced if they are found by Malaysian authorities to be in violation," Consul General Medardo Macaraig said in a statement released by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday.
Asked why the Philippines was abiding by Malaysia's immigration regulations despite the country's standing claim to Sabah, Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez, the foreign office's spokesman, said: "They (Malaysians) are in control of the area and they have come up with regulations. And if our people would like to continue on with these arrangements with barter trading, then there is a need to comply with that regulation."
The DFA has been careful in references to Sabah and Filipino citizens there, ensuring that no official word could be interpreted as a surrender of the Philippines' territorial claim. The Philippines has also refused to establish permanent consular presence in the territory as such would imply recognition of Sabah as a foreign land.
Citing the new rules, the Embassy said barter traders might only stay in Sabah for seven days, no extensions allowed. Crewmen are also barred from boarding a different boat until they return to their country of origin, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The DFA warned that violators could face charges under Malaysian Immigration Act and new regulations against Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants in the country, with penalties ranging from five to 20 years in jail.
Malaysia imposed such stricter immigration and customs regulations in Sabah's ports while its forces pursued members of the Sulu Royal Army still standing their ground to press for the Sulu Sultanate's claims to the territory.
The Philippine government has been urging the Sultanate's followers to return to Sulu to end the bloodshed, with assurances that it has not given up on the country's claim to resource-rich Sabah.
The Philippine mission in Kuala Lumpur also said consular officials were finally able to visit on Mar. 28 eight Filipinos detained by Malaysian authorities in connection with the fighting between Malaysian forces and the Sulu Royal Army in Lahad Datu.
The Embassy said the visit to Filipino detainees at a prison facility in Tawau was arranged in coordination with the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General's Chambers and Tawau prison officials.
The Philippines has been pressing for Malaysia to grant access for its consular teams to visit Filipino detainees in Sabah citing international law.
"Our team in Sabah has already visited the eight Filipinos detained under the custody of the Malaysian authorities. We are still waiting for the full report from our Embassy which I think will have first to be submitted to the President before we could share with you some details," Hernandez said yesterday.

Myth of Condensation in Fuel Tanks
What does everyone think about this?
The Myth of Condensation in Fuel Tanks
by David Pascoe
Frequently we hear it said that the cause of water in fuel tanks is due to condensation. I have long doubted this assertion but the issue has come up so frequently that I was finally motivated to try prove to the point. The basis of my belief or assumption is that:
There isn't enough air volume within a tank to hold much vapor.
On average, tanks are half full, further reducing volume
The amount of water vapor in air is very small, even at 100% humidity
Conditions aren't right to cause condensation in a fuel tank
Research produced the following values for the maximum amount of liquid water in air at the following temperatures:
30C/86F 30 grams/cubic meter
20C/50F 17 grams/cubic meter
10C/13F 9 grams/cubic meter
There are 28 grams per ounce, so 30 grams = 1.07 oz; 17 grams = 0.6428 oz.
A cubic meter equals 264 gallons of liquid volume, therefore:
A 200 gallon tank = 0.76 cubic meter.
At 86F, an empty 200 gallon tank could contain 22.8 grams of water vapor, or 0.81 oz.
At 50F, an empty 200 gallon tank could contain 12.92 grams of water vapor, or 0.46 oz.
Note that this is the maximum amount of water vapor that a completely empty tank could contain, in neither case a full ounce of water.
In order to condense water out of the atmosphere a surface must be much colder than the air. The problem for the condensation in tank theory is; how do we end up with a fuel tank that is much colder than the air? One way would be to have a very cold day that suddenly warms up dramatically, but when does this ever happen? The weather can turn cold very fast, but does not suddenly get very warm.
Aluminum is second only to copper for rapid heat transfer properties; it will therefore adjust to atmospheric temperature changes quickly. Gasoline and diesel fuel, like water absorb [sic] heat and cold slowly. Thus one might expect to see sweating on the outside of a tank as the day warms up from cold mornings, but do we? Well, I can say that after 35 years of inspecting boats, I've rarely seen tanks sweating. Note: Sweating may be likely to occur with boats in very cold waters when warm days are encountered.
This issue first came up a number of years ago over a question of whether internal engine rusting could be due to condensation caused by sudden temperature changes as from day to night and vice versa. Since that time, inspection of hundreds of engines showed that rust only occurs on the underside of valve covers due to water contamination of the oil. Very few engines have rusty undersides of valve covers, thereby proving the point that ice cold engine blocks in the morning dont sweat at it warms up during the day. If that is true, then how could it be true that fuel tanks sweat?
My answer is that they dont and these calculations prove it. My initial assumptions were correct. You do not need to store or lay up your boat with full fuel tanks. If you are getting water in your fuel, it is getting there some other way.
Contaminated Fuel
Years ago we had serious fuel contamination problems due to underground steel storage tanks that rusted and leaked. Today all tanks are fiberglass, so this no longer happens (that I know of). However, those underground tanks do have fill plates on the ground surface (usually the parking lot) that can leak just like your boat deck plate. As the marina pumps its tanks nearly dry before the next fuel delivery, those who buy fuel from the near empty tank are the ones that are going to get the water (because it's pumped from the bottom of the tank). This despite the fact that the dock fuel pump has a water separating filter. I've opened the panels on occasion and have found the sight bowls completely filled with water, so at this point the water is being passed on to the customer. Next time you buy diesel, ask to see the filter at the pump! You have to remove the lower pump panel to see it.
However, it is important to note if you're getting water from your fuel retailer, chances are that it won't be a small amount. Most likely it will be a lot and your filters will fill up and engines crap out post-haste.
Leaking Fill Caps
By far the most common cause of contaminated boat tanks are deck fill caps that leak. Most of these things are stupidly mounted flat on decks which may puddle with water. The cap has a tiny little O-ring that is supposed to seal and keep water out. DOES IT? I wouldn't depend on one of these things unless I could prove that it doesn't leak. Check the condition of the o-ring and weather it is sealing.
One way to check positively is to clean the o-ring seat thoroughly; next apply some black or any color paint to the o-ring and screw the cap in place, tight. Then remove it and see if the paint has been completely transferred to the ring seat. If not, you now know where the problem is.
Another problem is the simple failure to seat the cap fully after refueling. This actually happens a lot, so check to see if the cap is loose.
The Tank Vent
Improperly located fuel tank vent fittings are one of the top causes of water getting into tanks. When this is the cause, if you are a salt water boater, then it will be salt water in your tank. A fuel tank vent fitting on the side of the hull should be angled down and aftward. If angled in any other direction, you've got a problem that needs fixing. Watch out for deteriorated plastic and zinc alloy fittings; some of these things deteriorate incredibly fast.
The vent line should have a riser loop on the inside. That is, it travels upward first, then downward. If not, that is another potential problem.
Check the Fuel Gauge Sender
One final possibility is the fuel gauge sender plate on top of the fuel tank. These are often made of steel or have steel screws that can rust away, a situation I've seen several times. Is water puddling on the tank top? Test all screws with a screw driver to make sure they are securely seated.
