|Seismic tomography and anisotropy: studies of intraplate seismic zones
|Zhang, Qie, 1980-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Both body and surface wave tomography has been applied to some significant intraplate seismic zones to explore the cause of intraplate earthquakes. Pn tomography in the Central and Eastern United States reveals that the major intraplate seismic zones are all near the edges of high-velocity anomalies in the upper mantle. It indicates that the origin of intraplate earthquakes could be related to the rheological boundaries around rigid lithospheric roots where stress may accumulate. A joint teleseismic and local P tomographic study shows that the New Madrid Seismic Zone is associated with a local, NE-SW trending low-velocity anomaly in the lower crust and upper mantle, suggestive of a weak zone caused by local deformation due to rheological contrast. Rayleigh wave tomography in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau discovers a lithospheric velocity boundary that separates the low-velocity northeastern Tibet and the high-velocity Ordos and Sichuan blocks. Again, the velocity contrast zone is also linked to significant intraplate earthquakes.

Honestly, you both are arguing semantics on that one because you're both right. It was an open ended conclusion, so at the time of BOBW it was 50/50 either way.
You're not following this conversation. That WAS my point -- it's open-ended, just like the planet killers and all those other examples of high tech or powerful beings.
The problem is Anwar's own semantics doesn't agree with itself. He says BOBW didn't "wrap up" the Borg, but TDM did "wrap up" the planet killers. You can't have it both ways.

So yes, one should expect when traveling thru the DQ, that the Borg are also out there looking for new species to assimilate.
Again. It's a quadrant. Not a continent.
The conduit in TNG only revealed a SINGLE POINT that belongs to the Borg. It could have been the tip of an iceberg that extends outside the galaxy, and/or to parts of the Beta and Gamma quadrants.
Why should we have assumed that their area of influence was confined to, and fully encompassing, the Delta Quadrant -- an area of space whose borders are defined by nothing but the result of dividing by four??
The only reason we assume the Dominion controls the entire Gamma Quadrant is because DS9
explicitly said so

Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I count the number of lines in a text file?-- MS
Hey, MS. It's easy to tell that Microsoft's scripting technologies weren't written by people who do system administration for a living. Our scripting technologies are jam-packed with features and capabilities, yet we always seem to missing the things that people really want to do. Counting the number of lines in a text file is a good example of that. This seems to be something system administrators do on a regular basis; after all, this is the fourth or fifth time we've been asked this question just this month. And yet, there's no straightforward way to count the number of lines in a text. Is there a CountLines method somewhere? Nope. How about a NumberOfLines property? Nope. Go figure.
Fortunately, while our scripting technologies aren't always straightforward, they usually are flexible enough to provide a workaround. And this is no exception. While there might not be an obvious way to count the number of lines in a text file, you can still use a script to get at this information. For example, this script returns the number of lines found in the file C:\Scripts\Test.txt:
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _
("C:\Scripts\Test.txt", ForReading)
Wscript.Echo "Number of lines: " & objTextFile.Line
So what's the secret here? Well, we begin by using the FileSystemObject to open the file for reading. Next we simply read the entire text file, using the ReadAll method. When we use ReadAll, we read in every line of the text file. Because the FileSystem object can only read from the beginning of a file to the end of the file, that means that when ReadAll is finished we must be on the very last line of the file; it's impossible for us to be anywhere else. Consequently, all we have to do is echo the value of the Line property, which reports the line number of the current line. Because we are on the last line, the Line property in this case also tells us the number of lines in the file. Simple.
Of course, you might be thinking, "Oh, sure, open up and read an entire file just to get the line count? How long will that take?" Surprisingly enough, not very long at all. We tested this script on a text file with just over 20,000 lines. On a regular old laptop computer (2.39 GhZ, 512 MB of RAM) the script took 1 second to complete. Your results might vary, but they probably won't vary by much
For much bigger files, trying to read it all at once may cause memory errors for some, as it did for us. The quickest and least error-prone way I have found to get a count is to loop through the TextStream object, skipping each line instead of reading them:
MyFileContents = fso.OpenTextFile(strFileName, 1, False)
'Loop through counting the lines
Dim lngLineCount : lngLineCount = 0
Do While Not MyFileContents.AtEndOfStream
lngLineCount = lngLineCount + 1
Open text file. Click on Edit>Go To. Give a huge number than expected number of lines. say if you expect to have 2000 lines, give 5000 or just give 200000. It gives an eror "The Line number is beyond the total number of lines" and shows up the the immediately available line. If you have 2379 lines it gives 2380. So whatever it shows up minus 1 is the actual number of lines in the text file. Cheers!!
nice mr. scripter!
I have a question.
How can I delete a specific line in a text file using a search string and can also the delete the next line?
Nicely done.
I use a batch file that I got off the web somewhere and modified to accomplish this task. Using the script above, I notice that if there is a blank line at the end of the file, the script will count this line. Not a problem, just something to keep in mind.
The method in the comments that uses a loop to increment a counter looks promising as well.
Me again...
I'm somewhat of a scripting noob. I was thinking that it would be helpful for the script to accept the path\filename of the file to be processed as a command line argument.
Replacing the portion of line 5 that says "C:\Scripts\Test.txt" with wscript.arguments(0) seems to accomplish this.
Venkat Uppaluri's suggestion is genius! By far the easiest way to go.
I am a noob a vb so please indulge my ignorance. I want to create an if then loop that will output an error if the file has mre than 100 lines.
1. how can I set a varible with the number of lines in the file.
2. How do I create an if statment that will perform a task based on a greater than limit.

While the 6-inch phablet, Lumia 1320, is priced at Rs.23,999, the four-inch Lumia 525 will be available for Rs.10,399.
Expanding its smartphone portfolio, Nokia, on Tuesday, launched two new devices, Lumia 1320 and Lumia 525, in the Indian market.
While the 6-inch phablet, Lumia 1320, is priced at Rs.23,999, the four-inch Lumia 525 will be available for Rs.10,399.
"The two phones are integral addition to our Windows Phone portfolio. The Lumia 1320 offers large screen, playful design and rich imaging experience. The Lumia 525 comes on the heels of its successful predecessor, the Lumia 520. These models will bring the smartphone experience at more affordable prices," Nokia India Director (Marketing) Viral Oza said here.
With the two new additions, the Finnish handset giant sells a total of 12 Lumia models in the price range of Rs.7,500-47,000 in the country.
"In the last 12 months, we launched 10 Lumia devices. At the end of 2013, we had 14 devices in our Lumia portfolio, of which 12 (including the two new devices) we are presently selling," Mr. Oza added.
The Lumia 1320 features 1GB RAM, 8 GB internal user (expandable up to 64GB) capacity as well as seven GB SkyDrive cloud storage. It is powered by 1.7Ghz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and has 5 megapixel back camera, 0.3 MP VGA front camera and 3400 mAh battery.
The Lumia 525 has a 1 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor, 5MP camera and 1430mAh battery.
Nokia also announced that all new Nokia Lumia devices purchased till January 31 would get free 20GB Skydrive storage for a year by registering themselves on the Nokia website.

Letter from the Editor: Bleach, Church Retreats, and Powering Up
Dear Readers,
Have you been keeping up with the happenings in Bleach?
The manga has become fairly intense, and after all this time, the story's become exciting again. I haven't been a fan of the series since early in the arc involving Aizen, but I just can't help but to consume the manga in chunks every half a year or so just to keep up with the characters I once followed so closely. Right now, the world (as the Soul Reapers know it) is coming to an end after the death of one specific character. But never to fear, because of course, Ichigo is here!
And as is the tradition for a shounen, fight 'em series, he comes to
maybe probably certainly save the day after having done some training. Rukia and Renji have done the same. Maybe Chad and Orihime, too, though to be honest, I'm not clear on their storylines.
It's no surprise that we see this type of storyline again and again in anime and manga – whether it be for physical breakthroughs, as in Dragonball Z or Naruto, or more emotional ones, as you might see in "training camp" retreats in series like Oofuri or Bamboo Blade. The opportunity to get away from the world leads one to cut out distractions and focus on a specific task at hand.
For Christians, there's an added element. Not only can you cut out the noise, but in the quiet and stillness of a retreat – both from the environment outside and in one's heart, you can perhaps hear God. What is he saying to you? What does he want you to do? And how will you respond?
Fact Check: Mikasa's Cruel World
Anime is full of references to religion, which presents a great opportunity to discuss matters of spirituality. And that's the idea behind this column, Fact Check, in which I'll investigate some of the claims of anime and manga characters and weigh them against the truth of scripture.
The Claim
Today's claim comes from Mikasa Ackerman during a flashback scene in episode six of Attack on Titan, "The World She Saw." Perhaps the most famous quote from the popular series (well, except for Levi's interesting remark about trees), these words arise during Mikasa's fight for survival against a band of bandits when she was young:
The world is cruel, but also very beautiful.
The claim is very straightforward: this world is both painful and stunning.
Fact Check
Attack on Titan is sometimes difficult to follow, partially because we're introduced to so many significant characters early on and are encouraged to root for them without getting to know them. Among the main characters, the Shiganshina trio – Eren, Mikasa, and Armin – it's Mikasa that we know least about in the first half of season one. Not until episode six do we learn her back story.

Review: Power Bible Book 1
Power Bible 1
Art by Shin-joong Kim
Green Egg Media
208 pages
Let's face it – the Bible is a difficult read for many people, even for faithful Christians. Engaging with God's word is even more of a challenge for children, too many of whom from a young age decide that the Bible is boring. How to do you captivate young people with the Bible without straying from scripture?
The answer might be the Power Bible, a comic book series produced in book format. Originally published in Korea, Green Egg Media has released the series, featuring chibi versions of Biblical characters, in the U.S. And it's a surprising triumph.
Volume one of ten-book series, which spans from creation to Revelation, focuses on the book of Genesis. Developed with loving care, this first comic is wide-ranging in it's content – Adam and Eve, Noah, and the patriarchs are all there. Even lesser known individuals, like Methuselah and Lamech, make appearances.
The comic sticks closely to the Bible, which means that, especially in Genesis, there are plenty of passages that are very adult in nature, featuring violence, slavery, and other troubling subject matter. But the strength of the Power Bible is that it chooses to remain scriptural, illustrating even difficult passages, albeit with children in mind (ex. deaths happen off the page). There's this dichotomy that occurs which is wondrous – the power of God's word is continually emphasized in every page of the book, but humor and cute illustrations soften this version of the bible for grade school children.
Adults may enjoy it, too. I found certain passages particularly captivating, including the very beginning of the comic, which illustrates the creation story in a majestic and powerful way. The quality of the illustrations, writing, and editing are all very high, and I especially liked the beautifully done chapter breaks.
Book One also reads well as one cohesive account. Transitions between individual tales in this Genesis account are keenly done; it's clear that you're reading one large tale with many parts, rather than a disjointed story. This cohesiveness, though, also points out my one key issue with the book. Many recent children's bibles and devotionals mention Jesus throughout Old Testament narratives, pointing out the significance of these stories in relation to God's ultimate redemptive plan. This more straight-forward telling of the Bible does not.
Still, what the Power Bible does do is extraordinary – it appeals to the visual senses without dumbing down scripture. A comic book that does this has been sorely needed. The Manga Bible has received excellent reviews, but it's not for young children. Another manga bible, simply titled The Bible, is not only aimed at older audiences, but was obviously created by those who don't treasure the word. It's worth pointing out again that the staff that created and edited the Power Bible obviously has much love for the material, and for children, who will enjoy it.
But don't take my word for it – here's my six-year-old son's review after reading Book One:If you can teach kids to love the word of God – not a commentary, not a devotional, but scripture itself – you've done something mighty. You've created an important work that going to change children's lives – now and for eternity.
I have a critical eye for Christian work, especially that aimed at children, but as you can see in my review above, I highly recommend the Power Bible. If you'd like to purchase it, Green Egg Media has been kind of enough to offer a special promotion for Beneath the Tangles readers.

Naruto Chapter 700: The Gospel of Sasuke Uchiha
700 chapters. All it took was 700 chapters and some 15 years to see our heroes achieve their ultimate aims – Naruto becomes hokage, Sakura marries Sasuke (not necessarily a bad thing), and Sasuke…well Sasuke finds love, which as he admits in chapter 699, is probably what he and Naruto wanted all along. Strange that Sasuke set out with vengeance in mind only to find that love was the answer. But perhaps that's not unusual after all.
In our own lives, we all have certain aims, which are usually apart from love (and certainly apart from love of God, for which we were made). We may not want to destroy an entire village out of a need to avenge our clan, but our goals may still be wayward – success, luxury, comfort, sex, wealth. But unlike Sasuke, for most, the story doesn't end on a note or redemption, at least not one connected to grace. But if we can take a manga as example, there's hope for all of us, even if takes many years for our story to turn into one of salvation.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
– 2 Peter 3:9
Path of Destruction
Sasuke's road throughout the entirety of the series has been one of violence. As a child, he violently puts off any attempts from others to befriend and love him, and of course, as he grows, he commits heinous acts – some would say (and some have said) those that have put him past the point of redemption. Murder and death are only the prime examples of the many evil things Sasuke did to attain his goals; he also hurt those closest to him (Sakura especially). Our lives follow similar paths without Christ – where we leave broken hearts and bitterness in our pursuit of whatever fills our heart, sometimes to the pain of others, and often toward the destruction of our own selves.

Naruto Chapter 698: A Farewell to Arms
Yep, you guessed it. I made this post just so that I could use that subtitle.
Well, not wholly. Hang on with me a minute – I have something deeper than that to get to.
Most of the 698th chapter of Naruto is spent with our titular character and Sasuke lying next to each other, bleeding to death, going in an out of consciousness. And in this gloomy setting, we get what might could finally be Sasuke's surrender, not just in the final fight to Naruto, but of his will to Naruto, giving in to his friend's way and finding a measure of peace (only time, the final chapters, and the last movie, though, will tell if he's reached really that point).
At the very least, Sasuke has found that he cannot accomplish his own will, his way of becoming hokage. Although he sees it as right and merciful, we know that Sasuke's method is twisted, resembling a dictator willing to go to any means to accomplish goals that would otherwise be laudable. From a superficial sense, though, it seems that both Naruto and Sasuke have equally reasonable methods. They've both chosen their way to become hokage. So what makes Naruto's way better than Sasuke's? If we must ultimately choose our own paths, how can we dismiss Sasuke's but praise Naruto's?
The answer is that Naruto's way reflects a truth, which is this: love is the right way. Although the culture may tell us that your way is your truth, I disagree. I believe there are certain truths that stand above others, and among those is that love trumps all.
Naruto does what he does out of love for his friends, village, family, and all people in the ninja world. For Sasuke, Naruto will go to the same lengths as with anyone else – he is willing to die if it means saving them. And as he lays bleeding to death at the end of chapter 698, with his right hand missing, Naruto demonstrates as much – that love knows no bounds.

Claymore, Final Chapter (155): The Gospel According to Teresa
It's here – the end is nigh! A wonderful, amazing, long-running manga has finally come to a close.
No, not that one. No, I'm writing about Claymore.
At the end of September, and after a 13-year-run, Claymore finally concluded. So obviously, it took me almost two weeks to finally get around to reading the last chapter. But I must say, though the last entire half of Claymore hasn't nearly lived up to the first half, the final few chapters were very, very good.
But maybe I'm just saying that because I feel they reflect something even greater than the manga itself.
If you've been reading the last few months, you'll notice that Teresa of the Faint Smile, whose shocking death brought notoriety to Claymore many years ago, has returned. Clare has transformed into her mentor, and Teresa, the strongest claymore to have ever lived, is the only one powerful enough to finally destroy Priscilla.
But is it really Teresa who is victorious? Well, it is and it isn't. In an internal dialogue, Teresa explains that she appeared because Clare's wishes for and about her, and because of all that Clare had done – improving herself and building community with those around her. Because of all this, Teresa was able to reappear. And though Teresa's physical embodiment will now disappear completely, she'll remain with Clare in spirit, continuing to be with her. And as Clare embraces her mentor – indeed, her mother figure – she knows this to be true – Teresa will always be with her.

He skipped twenty to the left, she hopped ten to the right.
They held hands then ran in circles,
They grabbed each other's waist, to do a silly dance.
She slipped in the sandbox, his face received a sand shower,
He sprinkled sand on her socks, she shoveled spadefuls on his shoes.
They laughed and chased each other, they made faces at each other,
They ran toward each other, they ran away from each other.

Mama to four: 10, 7, 3, and 1
Can anyone explain to me what a wipes warmer is? Is it as self explanitory as I think?I'm a mom to be, new to forums, and am seriously considering cloth diapering. Thanks!
You caught me in the middle of making wipes.
I'm using flannel on both sides.. old receiving blankets actually. I found some really cheap at a consignment sale and they coordinate really well.
I REALLY like to make them 7" by 8", because we use a wipes warmer, and the dimensions of the warmer fit wipes that are 7" wide. I'm taking this to mean also that any wipes case that I come across will also fit them. That's plenty large, IMHO.
I like to do two layers, although I loved the one-layer wipes I bought for my first child. It's just that after they start with the solids, you really need more between your hand and the poop, if you know what I mean.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for all the input, ladies! I guess I'll stick to making my wipes out of 8x8 squares (they finish smaller after the stitching), so they'll fit in various wipe carying and holding devices. I'm not sure if I'll get a wipes warmer or not (two weeks to the baby shower) but it would be nice to have wipes that fit if I did. Two layers sounds like the way to go, the old towels I'm planning on using are pretty worn and threadbare, I like the idea of having some real substance between my hands and the poo.

Blaine Tucker Proposes Plastic Bag Ban In Hollywood, Florida
Member of environmental movement Earth First in Hollywood, Florida raises support for plastic bag ban.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — By Dixier Mitchell
Florida man Blaine Tucker recently began circulating a pamphlet in Hollywood, Florida in an attempt to raise support for a plastic bag ban in the municipality. The ban would make it illegal for stores to give customers free plastic bags for to carry their purchases, in attempt to encourage the adoption of reusable grocery bags.
According to Blaine Tucker, who founded the Hollywood, Florida group of Earth First, most people he has spoken with support the idea and have pledged their support in seeking anti-plastic bag legislation.
"People here are very aware of their environmental impact," says Blaine Tucker. "I have met very little resistance to the idea during the past few weeks of talking to people and handing out pamphlets. We need to pass some kind of bag ban legislation to get everyone on the same page and force people to use reusable bags instead of wasteful disposable plastic bags."
Tucker cites effective bag ban laws across the United States as inspiration for his efforts to get Hollywood, Florida politicians to consider the ban. Plastic bag bans exist in many cities across the United States, but are most popular in California and Washington.
"It's not something that politicians really need to worry about," says Blaine Tucker. "Prior experiments with banning plastic bags have worked and have paved the way for the rest of the country. People adjust easily to carrying reusable bags, stores save money, and most importantly, we stop polluting the environment with plastic bags."
While Blaine Tucker is optimistic about bag ban legislation, many people oppose such measures because they represent government interference with private business. Opponents of bag bans say that businesses should be able to give bags for free to their customers, especially if it is good for business, and that it is not wise for the government to create obstacles for businesses. Liberty-minded opponents of bag ban legislation denounce efforts to force people to adopt reusable bags, instead of allowing people to make the switch voluntarily.
Blaine Tucker says the his bag ban pamphlet will soon be available online. Currently, Tucker can be found handing out pamphlets in shopping centers throughout Hollywood, Florida. Tucker hopes that bag ban legislation will be brought up in municipal meetings by the end of the year.

Radio local area networks (Wi-Fi networks)
This measure will allow quicker and wider wireless access to the Internet. This decision makes a large part of the radio spectrum in the European Union available for radio local area networks (RLANs, more commonly known as Wi-Fi). These networks are used to provide mobile access to the Internet and to private networks.
Commission Decision 2005/513/EC of 11 July 2005 on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 GHz frequency band for the implementation of wireless access systems including radio local area networks (WAS/RLANs).
This Decision increases the possibilities for access to radio local area networks in a single, open and competitive market for wireless access systems (Wi-Fi networks).
Access to this spectrum on the basis of harmonised rules will bring down the cost of equipment and alleviate the growing overloading of the spectrum already used to this end. This will facilitate the adoption of wireless systems in both the private and public sectors, both for company networks and for hotspot access points in public places, shopping centres, hotels, etc.
Availability of frequency bands
Member States are obliged to make two specific frequency bands (5150-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) available for wireless access systems in all EU states.
Mitigation of interference
The decision introduces power limits and mitigation techniques to prevent harmful interference between radio local area networks and other users of the radio spectrum (particularly military radar and satellite services).
This decision forms part of the i2010 initiative promoting growth and employment in the digital economy.

You had to have used an Extaka (or Exa) in the early '50s like I did a lot to really appreciate what Pentax (then, Asahi Optical) did! You took a picture and everything went black, The Asahiflex had limitations, but was the first SLR to give instant mirror return (and led to the later Pentax SLRs). I didn't have an Ashaiflex, but I had all the screwmount Pentaxes, the first two Spotamatic models, and of course a K1000.
Asahi Pentax (called Sears Tower 26 in USA): first SLR with right-handed rapid-wind thumb lever, first fold-out film rewind crank, first microprism focusing aid. First Asahi SLR with M42 screw mount. Established the "modern" control layout of the 35mm SLR. Well-integrated focal-plane shutter, instant return mirror and pentaprism design. Most people have never heard of this camera.
Nikon's 'F' model was introduced in April 1959.
SLR cameras changed rapidly in the '50s (after WWII).

Scientists Warn of Melting Ice in Arctic
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Scientists on Monday painted a gloomy picture of the effects of global warming on the Arctic, warning of melting ocean ice, rising oceans, thawed permafrost and forests susceptible to bugs and fire.
"A lot of the stories you read make it sound like there's uncertainty," said Jonathan Overpeck, a professor of geosciences at the University of Arizona. "There's not uncertainty."
The questions scientists continue to address, he said after his presentation at the Alaska Forum on the Environment, are how much of the warming is caused by humans and how drastic long-term effects will be.
Deborah Williams, a conference organizer and former director of the Alaska Conservation Foundation, said Alaska is Ground Zero for observing the effects of global warming because so many natural phenomena are tied to ice and the repercussions of it melting.
"We are the Paul Revere of global warming," she said.
Overpeck reviewed NASA studies showing how Arctic ice has shrunk in size and depth. Climate models 25 years ago predicted a shrinking ice pack.
"What we didn't predict is that it would be so dramatic," Overpeck said.
Scientists predict the summertime Arctic could be ice free before the end of the century, opening up northern sea routes but threatening the existence of polar bears, a marine mammal that depends on sea ice to live.
Other scientists ticked off the effects of warming on fish, forests and tundra.
James Overland, a research scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for more than 30 years, said the loss of sea ice has meant some marine life has thrived and some has been hurt.
"The marine ecosystem is shifting north dramatically," he said.
Pollock are thriving in warmer water. Pink salmon are being found in great numbers farther north, "an incredible indicator of warming," he said. Crab and other bottom-dwellers who depend on ice overhead for part of the year are suffering.
Glenn Juday, professor of forest ecology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said tree growth has decreased at Interior Alaska sites that were promising for commercial harvest. Studies of temperatures at Talkeetna and Fairbanks indicate daily lows are not as low as they used to be. The warming lowers the water available to white spruce, black spruce and birch, Juday said.
"The warmer it is, the less the trees grow," Juday said. Warming also makes them more susceptible to fire and insects.
Vladimir Romanovsky, an associate professor of geophysics at UAF, reviewed effects of warming on permafrost, or ground continuously frozen for two years. Areas of thick permafrost in the far north remain stable but have warmed over 20 years one-half to 2 degrees at a depth of 20 meters, Romanovsky said.
Matthew Sturm of Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory studied shrubs in Arctic tundra by comparing 50-year-old photographs taken along the Chandalar River for the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska with photos taken recently.
"They all pretty much tell the same story," he said.
Shrubs have thrived in the greater warmth and in turn accelerate warming. Like open water in the ocean, shrubs darken what otherwise would be a mostly white, reflective snow-covered environment, Sturm said.
If warming trends continue, Overpeck said, the globe eventually will get a nasty message from the Arctic: a rise in sea levels. Higher oceans will flow into low-lying parts of the world such as New Orleans, making recovery in that hurricane-ravaged city moot.
"It's hard to imagine why we're wanting to rebuild if we're going to allow global warming," Overpeck said.

Re: Heaving-To
OK, may as well re-post my recent thoughts in a more 'appropriate' thread :-)
Originally Posted by

So, at what angle to the waves should we try to assume?
What if the prevailing wind and waves are at different directions?
What sail configuration for the gale-force conditions in the SDR, deeply-reefed main and storm jib, or trysail and storm jib, or storm jib alone, say for a late 70s/early 80s IOR-influenced fin keel design with a wheel?
(My greatest concern with being hove-to is setting the boat up to be hit broadside by a large breaking wave and suffering a knockdown/roll.)
Sorry, but the only good answer to all those questions is -
"It depends..."
Every boat, every situation, every crew - they're all different... Sailors simply need to experiment with this stuff, try to assess what works for them, and what doesn't... Even the most seasoned voyagers are likely to learn something new every time they resort to a tactic like heaving-to...
When I refer to heaving-to, I'm not necessarily thinking of it as a storm or survival tactic. Indeed, there will be many times where one might have to resort to something more active, or 'drastic'... My point is to simply highlight the value of parking the boat simply to take a break, have a decent meal, get some rest, settle down an anxious crewmember, whatever... Much as Tom describes in his excellent account above, sometimes you just need to pull off the interstate into a rest stop, for a while...
There's tons of far better advice out there than I can possibly give here... Steve Dashew's writings are among the best, his SURVIVING THE STORM is an awesome resource, probably the single best I've ever found...
All I can say is what my boat (with an underbody/sail plan probably not too much different from yours) seems to like, at least in winds and open ocean waves up to about 35 or so. Deep reef in the main, sheeted near centerline, no headsail,
with the tiller not lashed, but steered by the windvane
... technically, she's more forereaching than hove-to, but still making very little headway... The key is having the vane do the 'driving', it prevents her from wanting to tack, or from falling off, and gaining too much speed... As is so often the case, one of those things I discovered 'by accident' in the Stream, beating back up towards Key West from Belize. After furling the headsail, and getting ready to set a backwinded bit of staysail, I realized "Hey, this works fine", and I was able to get 4-5 hours of much needed rest... Sometimes, all you really need to do is basically
slow the boat down
, that alone can make a world of difference...
Without question, one of my biggest concerns about many modern boats I see today, is the potential difficulty of setting them up in such a way
that they will take care of themselves
- and, the crew - in such situations... Modern designs with flat bottoms, high freeboard, etc... I'm not sure where one begins with setting them up to properly heave-to, and I would guess many such boats can only be made to do so with the assistance of the massive amount of excess windage aft that stern arches, dinghies on davits, and so on, can afford :-) But I'm afraid that for many of today's boats, the only way to get them to 'behave' properly when trying to park them for a bit in heavy weather, may be to fire up the engine...
So, the only way to figure this stuff out, is to go out and start playing. However, what works fine in 25 knots will not necessarily do so well in 35-40, due to the exponential increase in the force of a rising breeze... The most serious blow I've ever experienced on my own boat, was years ago at the north wall of the Gulf Stream on a trip out to Bermuda... In that instance, amazingly, simply lying ahull worked fine... Of course, that approach is widely considered the most dangerous approach of all, but in that particular situation, and with open ocean waves of a long period, my boat simply slid directly sideways in her own slick for about 6 hours, hardly ever taking a drop of water on deck, it was amazing... But that was a very rare circumstance, indeed...
These are the boats I've had more experience with offshore than any other single design - the Trintella 47 & 50...
Absolutely magnificent sailing machines, but a real challenge to park in a good blow... With their huge rig, and massive amount of windage forward (one real downside of the increasingly popular Solent-style double furling headsails) there's no way to keep the bow up, and maintain a 50 degree angle or thereabouts to the seas... In that instance, I would think a very creative technique described by John Harries on MORGAN'S CLOUD - that of streaming a Galerider from the bow, to windward - might work wonders in keeping the head up, and from forereaching off at too great a speed...
How to Stop Wave Strikes While Heaved-to in a Sailboat Offshore in a Storm
Needless to say, Morgan's Cloud is another superb resource...
Finally, one technique that is widely discussed, but I cannot personally endorse or recommend, is the vaunted Pardey Bridled Para-Anchor... Frankly, I just don't see how any of us mere mortals get that setup to work as they describe... :-) I'm guessing their success with it has a LOT to do with the Lyle Hess design they sail, and is less applicable to most more modern boats...
Evans Starzinger explains why, far better than I'm able to:

Sunroof Stopped Working
Hey Guys,
My 2005's sunroof just stopped working out of the blue. It worked fine just a few days ago, and now the button does absolutely nothing. Luckily its in the close position. I checked the 25a fuse under the hood, and its still good. I replaced just in case. Still nothing. Any ideas where to look? Thanks!
