Why are the authorities not taking pre-emptive steps against water stagnation in Bangalore?
BANGALORE: At Puttenahalli, a man accompanies his brother, wading through stagnant water of three days with a bucket of fresh water so that his sibling can wash his feet at a dry place and go to work without smelling.
Areas are flooded in J.P. Nagar and the instant solution is to dig up a road to convert it to a drain, and never mind that the residents have to go without power for three whole days.
An important link road at Bhadrappa Layout is closed and pedestrians are forced to negotiate over the treacherous parapet of a bridge, where one wrong step could land them right into the drain.
After the deluge in 2005, it probably would not have been too much to expect that flooding such as last weekend's do not recur, at least as often.
So why does Bangalore take a beating every time it pours? Have the administrators started to look at long-term solutions or are they merely adapting? Public Eye explores possible solutions to mitigate rain misery.
Pretty pavements
With an increase in impervious surfaces such as roads and pavements, rain water finds no way to seep into the ground. "A gradual fall in vegetation and natural surfaces has meant there are no sinks to absorb the rain. Chances of flash floods increase," says T.V. Ramachandra from Centre for Ecological Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science.
Granite slabs on pavements are being replaced with interlocking tiles, as part of beautifying the city. "These surfaces are feasible in countries abroad because they do not receive as much rain as we do. We need pavements that allow for water to seep in and not interlocking tiles that rainwater merely runs over," says Meera Baindur, an environment researcher.
Overflowing drains have always been held up as the main culprit for flooding in the city. Tertiary drains carry runoff water from residential areas to secondary ones. These are then linked to primary storm water drains that carry the runoff to lakes.
"In many areas, we found that the tertiary drainage system was completely absent," says Raja Rao, who led the expert committee constituted by the Karnataka High Court to look into the state of roads in Bangalore. Only if we evolve an effective system to carry run off water from localities can we control flooding to a large extent, he says.
Critical about the way drains are laid, Capt. Rao said the current method is to lay a uniform-sized drain along the road. "But the drain size must be augmented as it goes along because the amount of water that flows into it increases." For clogged drains, the committee had recommended that mechanical screens be installed to permit free flow of water.
Preserving lake ecology
With lakes being the final destination for storm water drains, preserving water bodies assumes more significance. Even so, there continue to be more instances of lake beds being encroached than of restoration of lakes. There are even fewer attempts to restore the now degraded links between the lakes.
"We simply must link our lakes again. Otherwise, the ones remaining will turn into water bowls that dry up when there is no rainfall. Eventually they will lose their water-holding capacity completely and rain water will have to find its way to low-lying areas," says Prof. Ramachandra.
Consider this: J.P. Nagar and areas around are flooded constantly because the large amount of weeds covering Puttenahalli Lake has diminished its water-holding capacity. Majestic and surrounding areas are under water because the Kempegowda bus stand has been built on Dharmanbudhi Tank. Madivala, Arakere, Hulimavu, Begur, Puttenahalli, Sarakki and Lalbagh lakes overflow into surrounding residential layouts because the links between them have been broken.
With the city at a crucial juncture of its development, the huge investments in its infrastructure could come to naught if severe action is not taken against authorities who have been blatantly allowing encroachments and ecological parameters are ignored while chalking out long-term solutions.

Oh looks like they went around Lava Mt. Trail #244 (not sure but think they would have had to carry up it too.)
Were you the guys we let into the bathroom, or the group of two we chatted with the previous evening?
I generally believe I can ride up anything... until I prove to myself otherwise (which is often the case and definitely the case with Fleecer). Downhill on Fleecer would be a nice little challenge, but not so bad.
We did not go around Lava Mt Trail. It was one of the best sections of the GDMBR. I was able to ride (with Bob trailer) all but the very first steep/bouldered pitch. We ran into another group of moto-guys right at Lava who told us the next 15 miles were nasty like that. I don't think they were following the directions correctly because it got easy very soon.
Interesting to see so many friendly moto-guys out on the route. If you're riding in the many waterless sections please check with any cyclists to see if they have enough. Things can get desperate at times when you only have your legs to power you.
I saw there is a page with GPS data and such from someone's trip. I will have to check that out. Mine is in progress (we ride slower, so we put pages together slower too) :

|Key Info
This charming clapperboard house perched on a gentle slope overlooking Boulders Beach is the stuff of holiday dreams. With a mountain behind and all about the sea, it is the perfect place in which to restore, rejuvenate and renew. Sensitively configured for both private time, and communal sharing, Boulders Beach House can accommodate a large family, or several couples seeking a shared accommodation experience. The house is decorated with relaxed vintage charm, inspired by Simonstown's Royal naval history which results in an ambiance of romance and comfort.
A short stroll away is world renown Boulders Beach, with its famous penguin colony. Giant boulders shelter beach lovers from the errant wind, and calm waters make for safe family swimming. Visitors to Boulders Beach House are spoilt for choice, since there are five other beaches within close walking distance to explore. Simonstown itself is a delightful coastal town, with its own waterfront, golf course ( adjacent to Boulders Beach House) and a diverse array of restaurants, shops and pubs to choose from. There are many beautiful hikes to walk nearby, and the drive out to Cape Point is an opportunity to observe local baboons with their baboon monitors!
Several beautiful drives through a variety of interesting suburbs provide scenic routes to the sexy splendor of Cape Town about 30 kms away.

The Western Cape region
The coastal suburb of Simonstown is about 30 km from the city centre of Cape Town. It looks out over False Bay, and is characterized by winding roads that hug the coastline. Each coastal suburb has its own charm and character. Muisenberg is famous for its surfing and swimming, whilst Kalk Bay offers an eclectic mix of shopping and dining as well as a busy little harbor where line fish can be bought fresh off the boats. Noordhoek offers horse riding on its long pale beach, and the Cape Point reserve is a beautiful way to encounter the rich and unique flora and fauna of the Cape.
Simon's Town
Simonstown has a rich naval history, and still houses South Africa's navy. It's 'historical mile' with its well preserved Victorian architecture harks back to the life of its early inhabitants. It's waterfront offers trips out to seal island, and a chance to take a closer look at the Southern Right whales that visit the bay annually. The main strip has an assortment of lovely shops, and restaurants. Hikes up in Red Hill offer beautiful vistas, and an opportunity to see the Cape Floral kingdom (fynbos) at close hand. Boulders Beach is famous not only for its sheltered coves, and giant boulders but for the penguin colony that has made it's home there. About 6000 birds continue to use the area, and can often be seen strolling along the main road or scuttling into the bushes along the golf course.

Sanitation workers may work in the field of waste removal or they may work in waste water treatment. As this job title describes two different types of jobs, the duties and work environments are also very different. Sanitation workers in waste removal primarily work outside. Trash collectors for example, usually work with another sanitation worker. One drives the garbage truck while the other handle dumping trash into the truck at each stop. However, waste removal companies have added technology recently to put a mechanical arm on trucks so that only a driver is necessary. This has not completely removed the job of those who work outside of the truck but it is cutting down on their jobs available. Work hours are generally Monday through Friday with shifts anywhere between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m.Read More...
Sanitation workers in waste water treatment work at waste water treatment plants and remove solid, chemical and microbial waste from water. They work with various machines including different types of water tanks, filters, pumps and various chemicals. They work with a staff of different plant operators and mechanics performing various functions with machines and chemicals, and they report to a plant manager. They remove anything that may be hazardous from waste water and release the cleaned water back into the environment. Their work hours vary dramatically: They may work day shifts from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for two weeks and then switch to night shifts of the opposite hours for two weeks. A waste water treatment plant never shuts down so they may also work on weekends. Those higher up in the staff structure work regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Regardless of which branch sanitation workers are employed in, the requirement for these jobs is a high school diploma. They must also be at least 18 years of age in accordance with laws due to particular dangers with their job.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Sanitation Workers who reported more years of relevant experience also reported higher earnings. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $26K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $35K. Sanitation Workers see a median salary of $36K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Sanitation Workers who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $44K.

Japanese Rube Goldberg machine
Inspired by Friday's Rube Goldberg Machine Contest at Discovery World, reader Steve "Axle" Hinkley shared a YouTube link from a Japanese Rube Goldberg machine. Remarkable. We didn't shoot any of our own video Friday... But MATC, which helped sponsor the Milwaukee event, had an AV team on the scene. I've asked for a copy, and I will post it here as soon as it's available.
eInnovate's game plan
eInnovate of Wisconsin has released the results of an online survey that will shape its programs this year, noting that the group will focus on practical uses for technology in business and, to a lesser extent, emerging technologies. Subjects will include "Core technology for small business: practical guide to technology acquisition"; "What makes the best projects managers"; "Things to consider when negotiating technology contracts"; "Best practices for interviewing candidates for a technical position"; "When desktop virtualization makes sense"; and "Practical applications Green Technologies."
Todd Nilson, the group's president, asks that you contact him if you have a topic idea or would like to be a speaker.

Ken Kessenich, an engineering teacher and the faculty advisor for the Rube Goldberg Machine team at Pius XI High School, has graciously given us some video of his squad's machine, which won a couple of awards last week during a competition at Discovery World. The video was shot by Mary Jurewicz, a proud Pius parent.
New laptop cooler & PC mice
Microsoft announced two new computer accessories today, a notebook cooling base and its popular Arc Mouse in new colors.
The sleek, slim notebook cooling base -- measuring only 1.16 inches thick -- is designed to do just what you'd expect: keep your laptop from getting uncomfortably warm. It does this using a fan and a cooling channel, and the base is contoured to rest firmly on your desk or lap, offering an ergonomically friendly typing angle. It also has a cable management clip, and it's powered via a computer's USB port so no batteries are needed. The base comes in white and black and costs $30.
The new Arc mice have been bred in four new colors: olive green, marine blue, eggplant purple and frost white. They cost $50.
Gamers play on the Sci-Fi Channel
A gamer-themed reality show called WCG Ultimate Gamer premieres on the Sci-Fi Channel at 9 p.m. tonight.
Nintendo DS: 100 million sold
With much posturing and preening, Nintendo proclaimed today it's shipped its 100 millionth Nintendo DS as of March 6. The DS changed the shape, style and experience of portable gaming when it went on sale in 2004 with two screens, a touch screen and voice-recognition technology. Now the latest generation of the technology, the DSi, threatens to shake things up further. It goes on sale April 5 in the U.S. for $170 and adds two cameras, audio recording and editing, and other features to an already successful formula. (1)
"Into the Pixel" open for submissions
Submissions for the 2009 "Into the Pixel" art exhibition opened today and will close April 10: interested artists can find submission information online. The exhibition, sponsored by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences and the Entertainment Software Association, celebrates the art in videogames and is the only juried digital art exhibition engaging experts from the fine art world and the interactive entertainment industry, the groups say.
The 2008 collection had more than 200 submissions for the 16 pieces of artwork selected, and "Into the Pixel" has been shown at venues including the Design Center in Stuttgart Germany, the European Festival of Art in Nottingham England, The Bradford Animation Festival and the San Jose Technology Museum. It will also be on display at South by Southwest Festival this weekend.
Bidding on 99-cent gear from Wendy's
Next week Wendy's will announce details of some upcoming online "bid for value" auctions in which the prices of expensive items will be bid downward until they reach the winning bids of 99 cents for each. These daily auctions begin March 25 and last for a week, and I am assuming Wendy's will clarify exactly how the bidding will work beyond the rules posted on the promotion's Web site.

Saying "cheese" from Teen Tech Week
I swung by Center Street Library last week to give a technology presentation to some teens about personal technology for the library's Teen Tech Week programming. My talk focused on the evolution of consumer electronics -- a kind of gadget buffet showing them examples of devices and how they have changed over time, as well as where design and engineering are taking them into the future. They were a very energetic group, and some of them asked good questions. Joy Price, a library reference assistant, snapped a few photos afterward.
These kids are entirely too cool to be hanging out with me. »Read Full Blog Post
Used games players, meet Mooch
Mooch.com, a new "peer-to-peer" Web site for trading videogames, launched today. The site is offering a limited number of free accounts during its beta period and promises to give players an easy, affordable way to trade their used games. Subscribers build a list of the games they have and a list of the games they want and then Mooch matches potential trades among its users, balancing the value of the exchanges. The site reminds me a lot of Goozex. The goal is to get players more value for their old titles because so many retail operations -- offering only a fraction of the original cost of games -- have entered the used games market recently, including Amazon.com and Toys R Us. After the beta, a Mooch membership will cost $20 a year.

From Cnet:
"Copy and paste works across all applications, not just mail. The Notes application is also demonstrated, showing how you can "select-all" from Notes and paste into an e-mail. You can also copy Web content, such as text from a Web page. This looks sort of like the text selector used in a PDF document, with four buttons on the four sides of a text bubble that let you expand your text bubble by dragging the button. If you messed up, shake the phone to undo any of the actions: cut, copy, or paste.." the live blog is here. (1)

LinkedIn Live at the Harley Museum

Canal St., where all of the members of the Link Up Milwaukee Group, friends and any other LinkedIn members are invited to meet up. More than 100 people have already registered, and admission is $5. I've found these gatherings great for networking, finding story ideas and sources, so I hope to see you there.
Beyond the hype of OnLive
A new online gaming service called OnLive announced yesterday it will launch a product this year that will stream high-games over the Net to even low-end computers, a new model that some claim will challenge the big players in gaming like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. You can read the story from USA Today, or what is essentially regurgitated public-relations garbage from Gamespot if you want more details on it.
I was immediately skeptical of the startup, but other assignments prevented me from ranting about it until now:
OnLive has signed up some big publishers to sell games over their network, but I'm wary of their thin-client model. Despite the blue-sky "wave of the future" cloud-computing hype OnLive is using to market their wares, what many of game "journalists" failed to spotlight yesterday is that you need to have a really fast, consistent Internet connection.
Most people aren't lucky enough to have FIOS. The problem with OnLive's model is that if games become more advanced -- and of course they will -- that means more data that needs to be pushed to a server. And because it's streamed over the Net, it will be cracked within a matter of days, and there will be plenty of denial-of-service attacks from hackers. So OnLive will need to encrypt their streams (at least a 1024 bit key), which will require hardware on the other end to decrypt, which will slow things down as it decrypts on the fly.
The company claims users will be able to play streamed games via OnLive with no lag as long as their Internet connections meet minimum thresholds. For standard-definition play, that would mean a minimum 1.5 Mbps connection, and for high-definition, 5 Mbps.
Frankly, I am lucky to get 5 MBps, and that is only on good days. Plus, most ISPs have a cap of 60 GB to 100 GB a month. If you need to push 5 Mbps, that means you push 625KB a second. If you sustain that rate of transfer, you could run out your cap in about 27 hours. Now granted you won't usually sustain that much, but that is the theoretical math.
Perhaps a better example: At the 5 Mbps OnLive requires for HD gaming, a Time Warner user capped at 250 GB monthly could expect to get about 4 hours per day of gaming assumed they used their cable modem connection for nothing else -- no iTunes, no Netflix streaming, no YouTubing or Facebooking...
And connection quality is just the beginning of OnLive's problems, the rest of which I don't have the time to get into. But assuming OnLive doesn't dissolve into vaporware now that its first-day-launch lovefest is over, I'm eager to try it out -- and tear it apart if fails to deliver. (4)

Concerning Conficker: Please don't panic
Thanks to "60 Minutes" every PC user I know is up in arms over Conficker. Do not panic. I repeat: Do not Panic. Take a deep breath, take a few sips of water and then get the facts from this level-headed FAQ posted by CNET. Next, read these 7 things you need to know about about Conficker from PC Magazine and then scroll to the bottom and use one of the cleaning tools if you are infected. Everything is going to be OK.
Latest Conficker data from Symantec
Symantec's Conficker Working Group has released its latest findings concerning the Internet worm that has Windows users panicking. In helping to set the record straight, the information security company says:
First: It has been determined that on April 1, Conficker (also known as W32.Downadup.C, the most recent variant of the malware) will begin to use a new algorithm to determine what domains to contact. NO OTHER ACTIONS have been identified to take place on April 1.
Second: It's possible that computers infected with Conficker will be updated with a newer version of the malware on April 1 by contacting domains on the new domain list. However, these systems could be updated on any date before or after April 1, as well by using the malware's peer-to-peer updating method.
Third: The general public should not be alarmed, but should be careful and perform the standard security "best practices" into their daily computing routine, including making sure their security software is up to date and making sure Windows has all the latest security updates.
"This certainly is an issue of concern, but the probability of a major Downadup-related (i.e. Conficker-related) cyber event taking place on April 1 is really not very likely," Vincent Weafer, vice president of Symantec Security Response, says in a statement. "In reality, the author or authors of Downadup probably didn't intend for this malware to get as much attention as it has."
"Most malware these days is designed to be used for some type of criminal monetary gain, and conducting such criminal acts typically requires stealth measures to be successful," he continues. "As such, this makes the odds that a major event will take place on April 1 even less likely since there is so much attention being paid to that day."
PlayStation 2 price drops to $99.99
Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today it's dropping the price of its PlayStation 2 video game system to $99.99 starting tomorrow. Since launching in 2000, Sony has sold more than 136 million units worldwide with almost 1,900 titles available. The PS2 is older gaming technology, but Sony promises to support the system with new titles appealing to families and casual gamers.

France Wants Security Council Meeting Over Iran
France has called for a UN Security Council meeting to discuss possible action against Iran after the UN nuclear watchdog said Iran had worked on nuclear weapons technology.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement France was ready for "unprecedented" sanctions against Iran if it refused to abide by international demands.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) -- citing what it called credible information from member states and elsewhere -- in a report on November 8 said there were indications Iran has carried out tests relevant to developing nuclear weapons.
The European Union also expressed grave concern over the findings of the report.
Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU foreign-policy chief Catherine Ashton, told RFE/RL: "The report actually seriously aggravates existing concerns on the nature of the Iranian nuclear program because this report, as you know, puts particular emphasis on information that was corroborated by the IAEA regarding the possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program."
Iran has rejected the IAEA report as "unbalanced" and "politically motivated."
Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, in a speech broadcast by state television, said on November 9 that Iran "will not budge an iota" from its nuclear path.
The Security Council has already passed four resolutions imposing sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt uranium enrichment, a process that can be used in making atomic bombs.
Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.

Stars: Yuan Xiaochao, Qi Shu, Tony Leung Ka Fai
Lu Chan (Jayden Yuan) is still trying to find his place in Chen Village, the legendary town where everyone is a martial arts master...and Chen-style Tai Chi is forbidden to outsiders. But since he helped save the town from a frightening steam-powered machine, Yuniang (Angelababy), beautiful daughter of Grandmaster Chen (Tony Leung Ka-Fai), agrees to marry Lu Chan and bring him into the family. It's only a formality, though - she is the teacher, and he is the student - and that suits Lu Chan just fine, as the mutant horn on his head gives him incredible kung-fu power, but leaves him dumber each time, and closer to death.

Hawken Nearly Ready For Hawking, Open Beta Opens
It's cold outside. Holiday vacation hasn't started yet. The world might end soon. These are all equally pressing issues, but fortunately, I think I've got a solution that wraps them up in a nice, holiday-friendly bow: giant robots. Think about it: they're naturally warm, have no concept of 'work,' and will probably be the reason our race of overly argumentative organ pods goes extinct anyway. Win-win-win. Also, Hawken just went into open beta. It's really great, so it'll probably help you feel better about the sorry state of your life and stuff. But mainly those other things.

Another reason to pattern your shotgun is that they are notorious for not hitting where aimed. First, they have a built in elevation for shot drop at 40 yds, so they shoot high in close. Secondly, there isn't much concern on the alignment of the barrel to the reciever if you are using a semi-auto or pump, so they very often shoot either left or right of where the beads line up. If the pattern isn't centered where aimed, and your shotgun doesn't have a set of adjustable sights, after market adjustable sights are available... its almost worth getting them just for the low-light capability. http://www.hivizsights.com/products/shotgun-sights.html http://www.midwayusa.com/product/671251/williams-fire-sight-set-universal-vent-rib-slugger-shotgun-aluminum-black-fiber-optic-green

It's Halloween, and even though we all know that the holiday is mainly about a.) dressing up in lingerie and some kind of animal ears and b.) candy, it's important not to lose sight of the fact that it's also an excuse to bust out some truly chilling tunes -- songs that aren't Halloween-themed so much as they are sincerely creepy. My picks are mostly classic-rock selections that I heard for the first time as a kid and have since had visceral, chilling reactions to. Share your own spooky playlists in the comments!
Say! Here's an exciting headline that I came across during my daily Internet-staring:
Jam For the Ladies: Lilith Fair Returns
Oh... good???
love electronic music—a genre that had its mainstream heyday in the 90s
with a small resurgence in the form of electro-clash in the early
naughts. Throughout my years listening, I've gathered quite a
collection with my favorites including: Aphex Twin, Plaid, µ-Ziq,
Boards of Canada, Bogdan Raczynski, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher and
on. Guess how many of those musicians are women? Zero. Sure. I like
Mira Calix and Ellen Alien...but they are rare in their field.
So, Halloween is upon us once again. Or, as I like to call it, "The Night of a Thousand Gagas."
You guys! SO MANY PEOPLE are going to be Lady Gaga! You can find tips on how to be the Gaga of your choice; you can design your own Gaga; a close friend of mine is getting into the spirit by manufacturing multiple Gaga costumes for a Gaga-themed party.
The appeal of the Gaga costume is undeniable. For one thing, it is easy. It goes (a) blond wig, (b) sunglasses, (c) the most absurd thing you can think of. Do you have a leather jacket? Would you consider wearing it with a swimsuit? Lady Gaga sure would! BLAM, Halloween costume achieved. But then, there's another factor: the fact that the entire "Lady Gaga" concept is, basically, a Halloween costume already. Gaga just wears it all year round.
The saga of Lily Allen just keeps getting sadder. Not so ago, she announced that she was probably going to quit making music (though her publicist denied it), and deleted her anti-file sharing blog after it was deluged with angry comments and criticism from the sort of people who believe that having to pay for someone else's work is one of the greater and more terrible forms of oppression. This week, she decided to quit, not just her blog, but the entire Internet: she's reportedly left MySpace, Twitter, and even e-mail.
Lily Allen is shutting up. Lily Allen is shutting down. And I don't even know that I blame her.
Dear Adam Lambert,
We need to talk.
I'm going to come out and say something right now, Adam Lambert: I don't get you. I know a lot of people were really excited about you when you were on American Idol. Just the fact that you existed, and were doing well on the show, seemed to be making them happy. And those people usually seemed to be coming from a very sweet, genuine place. I mean, I don't want to reduce you to your sexuality, but: you made a lot of people feel good, apparently, just by accepting your sexuality and not ever really steering away from it and doing a good job on a show that relies on winning over the American public. I'm happy that you made people feel that good. It's a worthwhile pursuit. Good job.
A while back, a commenter raised the issue of why I had focused mostly - in fact, almost entirely - on female artists in She Pop. There are a few reasons for this. First, the way that female personalities are packaged and sold, and the way people react to them, is a more interesting topic for analysis than just pointing at a sexist male pop star and being like, "look! He's being a sexist!" You might actually arrive at a conclusion you hadn't planned on, for one thing, and the discussions tend to be more complex and interesting, and you don't get stuck at that "I agree, he IS a jerk" round-table consensus level of Conversation Death. For another thing, many of the male pop stars working today are boring, at least in comparison to their lady counterparts. There are just too many worthwhile, interesting female pop stars, providing too much food for thought, for the men to compete.
But today, I intend to begin rectifying my shameful omissions. By providing you with INCREDIBLE TRUE STORIES of DUDES WHO HAVE BEEN JERKS! Dudes in the realm of MUSIC, no less!
Beginning of course, with John Mayer. Perhaps you have heard about his latest episode of jerk-like behavior?

Re: Chain plate or impact.
I would think that if it were from an impact there would be some other damage on either the rub rail or the cap rail.. If water leaked into the chainplates at all in the past (I see a lot of silicon around them in the first photo) it is likely that they are going to have crevasse corrosion given their age. Just because chain plates are glassed in does not make them impervious to leaks, it just makes it harder to tell if they have been leaking. In this case it would not have to have had that much force to cause a failure, certainly not enough to deform the deck. The cracking looks to be in the area where the chain plates would be welded to a cross bar and the weld would be the most likely area to develop crevasse corrosion as it would naturally have a lot of nooks and crannies. This is typical of 20-30 year old ss that has lived in a marine environment.
When we pulled our plates this is what we found.. On all of them.. It was because of this that I have recently started (1 year so far) doing rigging inspections under the supervision and along side of a local surveyor. While I don't have 30+ years of experience under my belt, I have inspected quite a few rigs. There hasn't been a single one that I have looked at that was older than 25 years with original chainplates that did not have at least one with cracks (this isnt to say that they dont exist, I just haven't come across them yet) If it were me with a 20+ year old boat, with glassed in chain plates, and signs of spider cracking on the hull over one of those plates, I would sit down, pour my self a tall glass of rum, and break out the hole saw.

Escape in a Good Story
Occasionally I'll find myself explaining to someone why I love reading good fictional novels, or playing a video game with a really good storyline. Inevitably, I'd find myself describing some form of finding an escape. And this kind of puzzled me.
Why did I feel the need to escape into a good story? Was there something wrong with my real life? Maybe you've felt something similar.
I recently read something that put into words an explanation to this that more than satisfies the question I had.
"…we should note that it's not what readers are escaping from but what they are escaping into that counts most. Most of us do not find fictional worlds appealing because we find our own lives despicable, though censorious people often make that assumption. Auden once wrote that "there must always be … escape-art, for man needs escape as he needs food and deep sleep." The sleeper does not disdain consciousness."
I love that analogy. We all long for a good nights rest, but that doesn't mean that we hate being awake. It's just that the rest offers us something different that completes the time that we are awake. And that is why I love a good story.
Whether it's a RPG (role playing game) on the Xbox, or C.S. Lewis' land of Narnia, a good storyline captures the imagination and taps into something deep inside of us.
When is the last time you enjoyed a good story?

J - you need to read On Writing by Stephen King. He talks about this very topic. He likens it to time travel, since he's writing something that we will share yet we won't read it until the future. King is one of the greats in my book, but he gets a bad wrap. Most people don't know that he wrote beloved stories like: Shawshank, Green Mile and Stand By Me. But this isn't about King. Though he would agree with you - Story is king! Dialogue and description are over rated. McCarthy, Hiaasen, Leonard and even Martin (as in Steve) know this. Shop Girl is a great read. Thanks for the post. Let's not forget the incredible stories like Esther, Joshua, Daniel, etc... okay well, the OT and the NT.Reply

I love the escape. In fact sometimes I think I love it too much. :) Even though I really enjoy fiction (I have recently started reading John Grisham for the first time ever) - I really enjoy the story element of non-fiction history books. I love the journey of going somewhere in time and experiencing a moment from history. David McCullough does this better than most as an author. I love being able to walk through the time period and see things and even "feel things" as the people maybe did themselves. Whats unique to your commentary, is (in my opinion) reading does something that other forms of entertainment do not. I think all other forms of entertainment, though as their names suggests are entertaining, do not capture one's imagination quite like words on paper.Reply

I get your point Jeremy, but for me it is a little different as i have aged ( at least on the conscious level it is ),I read fiction because you can always see both impure motives and acts of altruisim in the story - and the best way for me to comprehend and retain that information is to be forced into having to imagine the settings and scenarios, i'm not saying that i don't also enjoy the entertainment part of it, just that i get more out of what i read if it is an infusion of entertainment/escapisim and information. And then also there is the fact that sometimes fiction can have the effect of leading you down a slightly different path of thought and you end up adding perspective to your repitoire of thought - not changing your train of thought - just seeing another perspective and recieving the added bonus of understanding a different line of thinking.Reply

Is Clickbank really dead-Serious Review
Is Clickbank dead? The answer is simply no. Clickbank is one of the oldest and trusted affiliate marketing platforms in the world. Clickbank has paid billions of dollars as commissions to its affiliates and believe me it is still paying. However the promotional strategies differ a lot now from its inception days.
Clickbank is a digital products marketplace where affiliates get paid when a potential customer buys from the referral link. The other way to make money is selling your own product. For instance you have created a 30 hours web development training video. You can really sell it by joining as a Clickbank vendor. There is nothing much to do from your side. Affiliates would do the work for commission. So there are two ways to get benefitted with Clickbank.
Being an affiliate you can promote any number of products and earn up to 75% commission on each sale. This strategy made it very successful and affiliates still prefer Clickbank to others. The biggest advantage is affiliates don't need to have a website to get started. Being an affiliate you can mail to the targeted customers and share referral links with your contacts on social profiles. But, don't spam the links everywhere.
It is strongly advisable to figure out the real users who are really interested in your products that you are going to promote. Make a list of them and send them a review copy of the product. If you own a website try to promote a product which is relevant to your niche. But, if you don't know how to drive traffic to your website then it is an utter waste of time. Trust and reputation are the two undeniable factors which influences customers minds to try recommended products.
People just hate promotional links and they may feel annoyed. So being an affiliate you need to research the product well before promoting. People would love to read reviews before trying any product. Write a precise and unbiased description in your own words and place the affiliate link in the bottom.One should keep in mind that compelling people to buy products is a bad practice.
You could find tens of thousands of products and it's literally impossible to try each one. If you are damn serious about one product try it before referring to others. The biggest advantage is there are no shipping or handling charges as the medium is email.
Clickbank issues checks on biweekly basis to its affiliates once they reach the threshold amount ($10). However you can set your own threshold payout. Affiliates can also be eligible to receive earnings via direct deposit if they abide by Clickbank rules.
On the other side one can't rule out contrary viewpoints. There are tons of junk e-books available on it. Being an affiliate beware of them as you need to take care of refund policy. Research well and choose the right product to promote. You could find thousands of squeeze pages promoting clickbank digital products. But being an affiliate marketer make sure that your landing page complies with Google Algorithms. Another drawback is if the customer requests the refund, the affiliate commission gets deducted. I think it's very bad, isn't it?

I strongly recommend you to watch Free Affiliate Marketing Video Lessons before getting started. I hope you enjoyed my article and do leave your comments. Please share your experiences with Clickbank if you have any.

I have tried Clickbank with no success. But I still believe there is income earning potential.
Hello Treathyl,
It is nice to see you again. Clickbank marketing is not easy as I said earlier. Niche and traffic are the key aspects one should look for. I wish you great success.
Making Money Online is attractive for a number of reasons. The Most Common is comfort of sitting at home and generating income is massively appealing. But Its As Not Easy As You Mention.
Yes I agree with you. It takes time to make handsome income. Thanks for the comment. Keep visiting.
Hi Vurity,
I used to do very well with Clickbank back when you could create niche sites and build tons of backlinks to get them ranked.
Nowadays not so much. While I do still make some money from them. I don't make near as much as I used to. Thanks for sharing these tips, I know that they will be an eye opener for anyone who wants to get involved with Clickbank affiliate marketing.
Hi Susan,
Good to see you again. It is nice to hear that you were successful with Clickbank marketing. Sometimes I feel that Clickbank has lost its charm. The strong reason behind it is competition. In the past there were hardly two or three well known affiliate networks but today you could see hundreds of thousands of programs. People are really fed up with hoplinks and they want to try something new. Even Google slapped affiliate marketers with their algorithmic updates.
Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your informative and insightful article about Clickbank.
I am glad to note that you still Clickbank is a viable earning platform
for affiliate marketers.
However, like Susan says above, I used to make quite a bit from my clickbank
products, but have seen a marked decrease and don't really know why.
That is why I looked for some insights and found your post.
So, thanks again and continued success!
Hi Suresh,
Thanks for sharing this information..
Yes.. you are absolutely right… ClickBank still works… I have my own products listed their and quite satisfied….
Hi Karmakar,
It is good to hear that ClickBank worked well for you. Thanks for the comment.

Next week is the launch of Never Alone, the platform-based tale of a young Iñupiaq girl and her little Arctic fox companion and as such Upper One Games has created a new trailer upon which you may feast your ravenous eyeballs.

Next week is the launch of Never Alone, the platform-based tale of a young Iñupiaq girl and her little Arctic fox companion and as such Upper One Games has created a new trailer upon which you may feast your ravenous eyeballs.
By John Walker on October 3rd, 2014.
I love what Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is setting out to do. It's a platform game – very simple, very traditional, presented in a lovely, misty way – about a young Iñupiat girl and an arctic fox. And at the same time, it's an attempt to communicate information about the Iñupiaq culture of Alaska. A preview version I've had my hands on contains the first three of nine chapters, giving a fair idea of how it all fits together.
By Ben Barrett on August 14th, 2014.
Stunningly beautiful, culturally educational puzzle-platformer Never Alone has all of RPSdom excited to experience the tales of Alaska Native people the Iñupiaq. The only question left was when we'd get our mitten'd hands on its co-op action. November 4th, comes the cry from behind that glacier, on Steam, it continues, causing an avalanche. There's also a gorgeous new trailer, with one of the developers explaining how important he feels the game is for the future of these stories.
By Alice O'Connor on August 5th, 2014.
I was pretty excited about getting to discover the folklore of the Iñupiat people from coldest Alaska in Never Alone, tales and fables with such heavy metal names as Manslayer and the Rolling Heads. But the puzzle-platformer's important for their own culture too, an elder explains in a new video. It'll help them relate their tales and ideals to that most stubborn and aloof of beings: the Young Person.
By Alice O'Connor on May 8th, 2014.
One of the many wonderful things about games is that they can be a fine way to tell stories we don't often hear, bringing them to new audiences and drawing people into the tale. A puzzle-platformer with co-op and a pretty art style is interesting enough in itself, but Never Alone is also being used to transmit culture and folklore of the Iñupiaq and other Alaska Native people. A new trailer gives a peek at the sorts of beasties it'll introduce to us.

DANVILLE, KY—Following Thursday night's debate at Centre College, Vice President Joe Biden and Janna Ryan, wife of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), shared a passionate 20-minute-long kiss that eyewitnesses described as lustful, vulgar, and sloppy. "Janna rushed past her husband and into Biden's arms. He grabbed her and plunged his tongue deep into her mouth, and then they started going at it like crazy," said debate moderator Martha Raddatz, explaining that the embracing couple caressed each other's bodies while fervently kissing and tearing off various articles of clothing. "When the vice president began nibbling on her ears and fondling her breasts, Mrs. Ryan stuck her tongue straight out of her mouth and Biden just started licking all around it. She was literally shaking." At press time, Biden told reporters he had Janna Ryan "gushing like Old Faithful."

Deluxe French Fries Upgrades Drive-Thru with Origin Displays
Having been years since they addressed their drive-thru system, Deluxe French Fries sought the assistance of Origin Displays to both supply the necessary equipment and also the know-how regarding the installation.
Long Island, NY (PRWEB) July 29, 2013
Origin Display Group Inc., a leading supplier of indoor, outdoor, and digital menu boards is excited to announce their voyage in to the eastern-most part of Canada to provide drive-thru and communication equipment for Deluxe French Fries. Beginning with an upgrade at their Truro, Nova Scotia location, heading north will be a three panel drive-thru and a four all-in-one HME headset system.
Deluxe French Fries is a family owned quick service chain that has fourteen locations spread throughout Canada's Maritimes. Since 1949, the Theriault family has provided English-style fish and chips and fresh cut fries that have become staples to those who live in the area. Beyond these items, their menu also includes the likes of varying poutine options as well as a lobster platter which appropriately represents the demand of the maritime habitants.
Origin Displays began conversations with Deluxe owner, Robert Theriault a year ago regarding the idea of revamping his drive-thru in Truro. The existing drive-thru menu board had decades under its belt and the "squawk-box" only had intermittent success, so the decision to modernize was easy. Once this was determined, Origin spent months vetting concrete, electrical and installation companies for Deluxe to make sure that the integration would run smoothly.
Origin Displays' VP of Business Development, Vic Pereira, discusses the year-long dialogue: "Robert and I were able to identify the need for a new drive-thru very early in our conversations. The unfortunate hang-up was finding the right people to do the installation work in the area. It took some time but between the both of us, we were able to put together a sound team with experience in the drive-thru space. Although this process took a while, we both wanted to make sure that we set ourselves up for seamless installations at the subsequent locations."
