Patowmack Canal
The Patowmack Canal is a series of five inoperative canals located in Maryland and Virginia, United States, that was designed to bypass rapids in the Potomac River upstream of the present Washington, D.C. area. The most well known of them is the Great Falls skirting canal, whose remains are managed by the National Park Service as it is within Great Falls Park Virginia, an integral part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

Planning the canal[edit]
Few ventures were dearer to George Washington than his plan to make the Potomac River navigable as far as the Ohio River Valley. In the uncertain period after the Revolutionary War, Washington believed that better transportation and trade would draw lands west of the Allegheny Mountains into the United States and "...bind those people to us by a chain which never can be broken."
"The way," Washington wrote, "is easy and dictated by our clearest interest. It is to open a wide door, and make a smooth way for the produce of that Country to pass to our Markets ...."[1]
As a waterway west, the Potomac River could be that "door." It was the shortest potential route between tidewater, with access to East Coast and trans-Atlantic trade, and the headwaters of the Ohio River, with access to the western frontier. But both political and physical obstacles had to be overcome.
Opening the Potomac required cooperation of Virginia and Maryland, both of which bordered the river. In 1784, Washington convinced the states' assemblies to establish a company to improve the Potomac between its headwaters near Cumberland, Maryland, and tidewater at Georgetown. The Patowmack Company, organized May 17, 1785, drew directors and subscribers from both states. Then, Washington wrote in his diary, the office of president of the Patowmack Company "fell upon me." He presided over the project until he became the nation's chief executive (President of the United States).
Delegates from Virginia and Maryland, meeting at Washington's home in 1785, drew up the Mount Vernon Compact, providing for free trade on the river. Virginia and Maryland legislators ratified the compact and then invited all 13 states to send delegates to a convention in Annapolis in 1786 "to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest." The Annapolis Convention led to a general meeting in Philadelphia the following May. Thus, George Washington's lobbying for interstate cooperation on the Potomac helped prepare the way for the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Building the canals[edit]
Five skirting canals were made: Little Falls, Great Falls, Seneca Falls (across from Seneca Creek), Payne's Falls of the Shenendoah, and House's Falls, (near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia). Three of the canals did not require locks: the Seneca Falls, House Falls, and Payne's Falls. Little Falls used wooden locks, which were not meant to be permanent.[2]
At Great Falls, the Potomac presented physical obstacles to travel as well. Narrow and winding in places, it drops over 600 feet in 200 miles from Cumberland to sea level. Spring rains swell the river to dangerous heights; summer droughts can render it impassable. To make the river navigable by even shallow draft boats, the Patowmack Company had to dredge portions of the riverbed and skirt five areas of falls.
Little Falls Canal[edit]
The Little Falls canal ran 3814 yards on the Maryland side of the river. The original locks, near today's Fletcher's Boat House, were made of wood, and the canal was finished in 1795. These wooden locks were replaced with stone locks in 1817, and had a lift of 37 feet. The first two locks were named "Martha" and "George" (after Martha Washington and George Washington).[3]
This canal was later repurposed for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O), partially as Feeder #1, and as the canal itself from Lock 5 to just before Fletcher's Boat House. The remains of the stone locks were destroyed when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) built its Georgetown Branch line c. 1910. (The rail line was later abandoned and converted to the Capital Crescent Trail in the 1990s.)
Great Falls Canal[edit]
By far the most demanding task was building a canal with locks to bypass the Great Falls of the Potomac River. Roaring over the rocks, the river drops nearly 80 feet in less than a mile.
Swift currents, solid rock, and constant financial and labor problems hindered progress on the Patowmack Canal at Great Falls.
Construction begun in 1785 and took seventeen years to complete - six years longer than the time required to locate, build, and begin occupying a new federal city, Washington, D.C., ten miles downriver. Construction required engineering skills and a labor force not easily found in 18th century America. Crews consisted of unskilled laborers, skilled indentured servants, and slaves rented from nearby plantations. The work was difficult and dangerous. With one of the earliest uses in this country of black-powder blasting, workers forced a channel through the rock cliffs for the final three locks.
The canal is 1,820 yards long and was completed in 1801, and opened to traffic in 1802.[4] Its five locks raised or lowered boats to skirt around Great Falls, and were constructed of red sandstone from the Seneca Quarry across the river in Maryland.[5] Locking through the whole canal could be accomplished in about an hour.[6]
An entire town grew up around the construction site to serve as headquarters for the Patowmack Company and home for the workers. The town was named Matildaville by its founder, the Revolutionary War hero Light Horse Harry Lee. Harry Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, named the town for his first wife, Matilda Lee.
Seneca Falls Canal[edit]
This canal was 1,320 yards long and despite going down 7 feet, had no locks, and is on the Virginia side. This was worked on in 1785.[4] This refers to the falls which start just below Seneca Creek, Maryland (this is not to be confused with Seneca Falls, New York where the Cayuga–Seneca Canal was built). It is opposite Dam No. 2 / Violettes Lock on the C&O Canal.
Shenandoah or Paynes Falls Canal[edit]
This canal, just below Harpers Ferry, was 1,760 yards long, dropped 15 feet, and had no locks either.[7] This was also called the Bullring Canal by some boatmen (the falls also being called "Bullring Falls" according to Thomas Moore's 1820 writings), and was made up of two short skirting canals with a "short sheet of water about a quarter mile" between them. [8]
Note: There is a good deal of confusion, even in the Potomac Company Records, to the canals around Harpers Ferry, more than one being called the "Shenandoah Canal" (sometimes inaccurately).[8]
House Falls Canal[edit]
This Maryland canal, also called the Long Canal[8] had no locks, and overcame a drop of three feet.[7] This canal was reused for the C&O Canal, between Dam No. 3 and Lock 34 (Goodheart's Lock), according to a 1922 survey, for a distance of almost a mile.[9]
Other improvements[edit]
Some other tributaries to the Potomac had work done on them, such as Conococheague Creek, the Monocacy River, Patterson Creek, South Branch, Cacpon Creek, Opequon Creek, and the Shenandoah River.[7]
Operating the canal[edit]
Matildaville, at its height, boasted the company superintendent's house, a market, grist mill, sawmill, foundry, inn, ice house, workers' barracks, boarding houses, and a sprinkling of small homes. Boaters stopped here to wait their turn through the locks, to change cargo, or to enjoy an evening in town before continuing their journey.
Thousands of boats locked through at Great Falls, carrying flour, whiskey, tobacco, and iron downstream; carrying cloth, hardware, firearms, and other manufactured products upstream. Vessels varied from crudely constructed rafts to the long narrow "sharper," a keelboat that could carry up to 20 tons of cargo. The trip took 3 to 5 days down to Georgetown and 10 to 12 days poling against the current back to Cumberland. Many boat owners simply sold their boats for scrap and walked back instead.
Here is a sample of what was carried down in 1811:
|27 hogsheads
|118,076 barrels
|5718 barrels
|465 bushels
|3600 bushels
Also carried in 1811 were firearms, pig iron, timber, rye, flax seed, hemp, butter oats, cloverseed, and staves.[10]
Gondolas were one-use log rafts, about 60 by 10 feet, and held many tons of cargo. Sharpers were flatbottomed boats 60 feet by 7 feet. These also were poled down the river, but were not used as much, since they could only get through the shallows of the Potomac 45 days per year during spring flooding.[11] Wrecks and loss of cargo was probably frequent, since it is written that the people of Cooney (a settlement near Little Falls) was well supplied with coal, flour, meat (etc.) from wrecks.[10]
Although the charter required year round operation, the canal operated seasonally, from February until May. Summer droughts shut down operation until rains in the autumn.[10]
Built to support the canal industry, Matildaville's fate was tied to that of the Patowmack Company. Today, only a few fragile remains of Matildaville are visible.
The greatest obstacle to the Patowmack project proved to be financial. High construction costs, particularly at the Great Falls section, and insufficient revenues bankrupted the company. Extremes of high and low water restricted use of the canal to only a month or two each year. The tolls collected could not even pay interest on the company debt.
They planned to make more improvements on other major branches of the Potomac but doing so did nothing to increase the company's revenues. They issued more stock, borrowed from banks, and even tried a lottery all to no avail.[12]
End of canal operations[edit]
The Erie Canal opened in 1825, and immediately became a rival, controlling a connection between the Great Lakes and the Eastern Seaboard. The Patowmack Company folded in 1828, turning over its assets and liabilities to the newly formed C&O Canal Company. The new company abandoned the Patowmack Canal (except for the section at Little Falls) in 1830 for an even more ambitious undertaking: a man-made waterway stretching from Georgetown to Pittsburgh. Although the Patowmack Company was a financial failure, its builders pioneered lock engineering and stimulated a wave of canal construction important to the country's development.
Groundbreaking for the C&O Canal took place close to Lock 6, near the upstream side of the Little Falls Skirting Canal. In the end, the Little Falls skirting canal was modified and repurposed for the C&O Canal prism as well as becoming its feeder canal (Inlet #1), after some modifications. From Lock 5 to almost Fletcher's Boat House is the bed of the Little Falls Skirting Canal.[4]
The Shenandoah canal (i.e. canal on the Shenandoah River) was still used occasionally, and was the reason why the C&O canal had to build the Shenandoah river lock (just below Lock 33) at Harper's Ferry, to get cooperation from the Virginia state legislature. Boats were to leave the C&O Canal, with the mules crossing over the B&O railroad bridge, bringing them to the Shenandoah, letting them go through the canal there.[13]
George Washington did not live to see the completion of the navigation project that had been his obsession since youth. But he did take pride in visiting the canal during the construction to inspect its progress. He died in 1799, two years before the canal opened at Great Falls. But in the long run Washington's vision of a strong nation linked by a direct, long-distance trade network came true. His frequent toast, "Success to the navigation of the Potomac!" became a footnote of American history.
Current recreational use[edit]
In 1930 the U.S. Congress authorized this place of human history and natural beauty as a park. The National Park Service took on responsibility for its management in 1966.
The preservation of the Patowmack Canal is part of the Park Service's continuing efforts to protect and preserve special resources of the park. The Patowmack Canal and Matildaville ruins are protected by the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. This law prohibits excavation, removal, or displacement of archaeological resources. The significance of the Patowmack Canal in the development of the young nation is evident in its designation as a National Historic Landmark. The Patowmack Canal is a Civil Engineering Landmark, and a Virginia Historic Landmark.
The remains of the Seneca canal still exist on the Virginia side, opposite Violette's lock (on the C&O Canal).

Great Falls Park is open from 7 am until dark every day.[18] The entrance fee to Great Falls Park is $10 per vehicle, $5 for single pedestrians, bicycles, equestrians, or motorcycle riders, and is valid for three consecutive days. Annual passes to Great Falls Park are available for $30 and are valid for one year from month of purchase (also allows entrance into the C&O Park). National Park Passes, Golden Age Passes, Eagle Passes and Access Passes are also available to visitors at Great Falls Park.[19]
Safety is a primary concern in the Park. Prohibited activities include alcohol, open fires, swimming, wading or crossing of any open water. Sporting activities such as rock climbing and kayaking at Great Falls Park should be conducted only by experienced persons familiar with the dangers and safety protocols involved therein. These are dangerous grounds. An average of seven deaths occur each year in the Park area.[citation needed]
The Patowmack Canal Trail is accessible by wheelchair as far as Lock 1. The trail surface consists of compacted soil with no curbs. The National Park Service opened a wheelchair accessible overlook to the Great Falls in January 2005 and was renovating a second overlook to the Great Falls due for completion in late May 2005.
The Great Falls section of the canal, along with the archaeological remains of Matildaville and other nearby canal-related sites, were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982, as one of the nation's earliest efforts at large-scale civil engineering, reflective of the visions of two of its Founding Fathers, George Washington and James Madison.[14]

"SOMERSET KENTUCKY" Somerset by LoriPori
Somerset Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 53 photos
Located between Lake Cumberland and the Daniel Boone National Forest, Somerset has one of the longest, continuous commercial strips, with U. S. 27, the main road through the community, being lined for ten miles with restaurants, shops and hotels.
Somerset architectural gems include the Public Library, once a U.S. Post Office which was built in 1812. Also impressive is the First Baptist Church.
Older structures include the J.M. Perkins House and the Somerset Pharmacy.
Hans and I stayed in Somerset for two days, as we were getting together with our dear friends from Belgium, Johan (Johanl) and Wies who were on vacation and in the area staying with friends.

Love the rainbow behind you in the travelogue pictures! Nice pics....
A nice little place but what I like best are the dam keepers !
Cumberland Falls are very impressive. I liked the Natural Arch. Thanks Lori for getting us to know about this place.
I know natural arches are common out west, but I never knew there was one here in the Midwest. Looks like an interesting place.
An interesting look at a very neat town. We've been through Somerset a few times. Maybe next time we'll stop and see a little more of it. Glad to see you made it to the Natural Arch - an awesome sight.
Somerset looks like a nice place to visit and the natural arch is great. Lovely page, Lori.
the natural arch, very interesting. nice town it seems.
Great picturews and interesting reading. Wow, your restaurant tips made me hungry...
Kentucky is a favorite state of mine [Parents lived there] so I was so interested in your insights about Somerset. Looks as though you had a wonderful time in a wonderful state.
Nice page. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Somerset.

1. Briefly describe the specific purpose and goals of the grant. To address the problem of malnutrition among the elderly in the downtown core area of Portland, Loaves & Fishes Centers launched a weekend meal program targeted at the most needy and nutritionally at-risk seniors. Many of these seniors live in studio apartments or hotel rooms, subsist on low incomes and frequently have no facilities available to them to prepare meals. They dine regularly at our Elm Court Center Monday through Friday and often have no access to meals on the weekends. By opening our Elm Court Center on Saturdays and Sundays and providing a mid-day brunch, seniors who live in downtown Portland have a place to gather and receive a hot, nutritious meal seven days a week. This vital service helps our clients maintain their health and physical well being.
2. To what degree were these goals and objectives achieved? The Elm Court Loaves & Fishes Center serves an average of 150 elderly each weekend day. There is clearly a need for hot meals for these seniors, most of whom have no other access to food on the weekends. One of our objectives of this program was to develop programs designed to increase socialization and connections of isolated seniors. While it is clear that these seniors need the daily hot meal, they also gather for conversation and a lot of card games. Our efforts to organize additional activities, such as an exercise program, have not been well-received by the weekend participants. They want their meal and then they want to watch movies or play card games. Our efforts to introduce other activities have been rebuffed.
3. What has been the measurable impact on the population you serve? We have found that the overall health of those who participate in the weekend meal program has not improved, but neither has it declined. Our meal program appears to be sustaining those who are most at risk of malnutrition, those with the least access to food. We have also discovered that some people began coming into the center on the weekends and have since come in for lunch on weekdays as well, increasing the overall participation at the center. We have also seen a marked increase in the need for meals as the economy has declined in recent months. The number of seniors we serve at the Elm Court Center has increased 19 percent over the same period just one year ago.
4. What have been the measurable results of this grant? The Weekend Meal Program at Elm Court Center has helped to focus attention on the needs of the elderly who live in downtown Portland. This meal site is currently in the process of relocating to a larger space next door to its present location. We anticipate that the new center will open in early September, at which time we will begin offering a breakfast program on weekdays in addition to serving the weekend meals. The high attendance at our Weekend Meal Program has helped our negotiations with the City of Portland and other community partners as we continue with the construction at this vital center. Our program has made it abundantly clear that a source for both hot meals and companionship in the downtown core is vital for the health and well being of lonely and isolated seniors.

Help With Gaps!!
The Video guide doesn't work for me at thps3.com/THAW and I really want to full 1000 anyone know a place where I can find the Gaps besides the above website?
Do you have DVIX installed? along with wizip?:confused:
Also, can anyone describe how to do the "Live Wire to Wire" gap on the East L.A. level, as this is one of the few gaps that has really stumped me?
you have to hit the wire with sparks coming off it from the sewer area and land on the power lines AFTER the pole (where the wire starts to veer right)
took me a couple tries, setting up a good restart point is good
[QUOTE=Tyber Zann;2029249]I would suggest going to http://www.tonyhawkguide.com as they have videos for all of the levels (both from Story and Classic modes), however I have only been able to stream them directly from the site and not download them - not such a huge problem really!QUOTE]
thanx for the site man now i can put this game at 1000 g
Dont know if its any help to you but im just using videos on youtube to get all the gaps just type in ---all gaps in (location) in the search bar and their all there...its helping me although there are some that can be very frustrating to get...I just got the live wire to wire which took me many attempts.
yeah youtube is ur best bet

The statement of technology for the SMART CAM speed camera system says that it triggers during the red or green light signal phase . However , both the video and the still shots both show that my vehicle was not even at the violation line until a full second after the light turned yellow . As a matter of fact , my vehicle was not even in the camera picture until a full second after the light turned yellow , so according to their own instructions , my car should have not even triggered the cameras in the yellow phase .

Leeds have fitness doubts over half-back Rob Burrow ahead of their Challenge Cup final with Warrington next weekend.
Burrow is carrying a calf strain and has not travelled to France for Saturday's clash with the Catalan Dragons, with coach Brian McDermott admitting he is a concern for the Wembley showpiece.
"Rob has been left out as a precaution, but he's not right for the Challenge Cup final at this stage," he said. "Hopefully the injury will continue to improve with treatment but it is not right at present."
The Rhinos are desperate for Burrow to be fit, especially in light of long-term half-back partner Danny McGuire being ruled out of the final earlier this week.

I love the mix. It's very cool that you did this. I know a lot of major title bands are experimenting with different variations of other instruments to blend with guitar, i.e violins, but the piano works exceptionally well too. Maybe this will go mainstream! Great job with the mixing though.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song is epic!! part 2 is more upbeat, and this one is more Guitarish.... anyway nice song..blends well with the piano.
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Maurice McKendry, the Pukekohe horseman, has been given the
task of driving Auckland Reactor in the group one 3200m
Fly Like An Eagle, part-owned at East Taieri by Phil and
Margaret Creighton, recorded a strong- finishing run for
third to his Purdon stablemates Sushi Suhsi and Major Mark in
the Kaikoura Cup at his last start six days ago in the hands
of Purdon.
McKendry will travel to the Purdon stables at Rolleston and
drive Auckland Reactor next Sunday in his last workout before
the New Zealand Cup.
McKendry has never driven the 8yr-old entire. He will not
contest the NZ Cup trial at Addignton on Wednesday.
Auckland Reactor tangled at the start and was tailed off in
the Louisson Handicap at Addington on Friday night. He looped
the field to lead at the 1000m but wilted in the run home to
finish last.
Purdon has a record five horses in the NZ Cup.
Sushi Sushi will be driven by Natalie Rasmussen. Major Mark
will be handled by Colin De Filippi and Highview Tommy, a
last-start seventh in the Kaikoura Cup, is the drive of Blair

Fourth answer:
I've only worked out two so far. I'm not sure if the message is the same so I'll just post my method.
For the fifth and the hardest one:
This is called "Rail Fence cipher". It writes out the original texts in 3 rows in a "zig-zag" manner.
For example, the message
Then we will read it one row at a time, left to right:

Dave Grohl dreams that Kurt Cobain is still alive and they have reformed Nirvana.
The Foo Fighters rocker - who was the drummer of the grunge rock band until Kurt died in 1994 - worked with their third bandmate Krist Novoselic on his current group's latest album and says the experience made him think Nirvana had reformed when he was asleep.
He explained: "I've had a few dreams where Kurt shows up and I'm so blown away. 'Wait, you never died?' For whatever reason, he'd just been hiding.
"And the three of us get together to be band again. It's totally weird."
The 'Rope' singer also admitted that having producer Butch Vig - who worked on Nirvana's 'Nevermind' - on board the Foo Fighters latest record 'Wasting Light' also triggered the dreams.
He said: "It brought back some really funny memories. When you're with people who were there at the same time, you feel like you're there again."
Kurt - who famously battled an addiction to heroin - died after receiving a gunshot wound to the head in what was thought to be a successful suicide bid and Dave wonders what he would be like if he was alive today.
He told Seven magazine: "I don't know. He's probably be the same 25, 26-year-old he was. Unfortunately we'll never know."
Dave Grohl dreams of Kurt Cobain
Dave Grohl has revealed that since working with people he knows from when he was in Nirvana he has reoccurring dreams in which Kurt Cobain is still alive and they reform the band.

No, he didn't. You may be thinking of Michael Milken, who was instrumental in financing many of Icahn's deals.

Impact of US Biofuel Policy on US Corn and Gasoline Price Variability
Despite a large number of studies that examine the influence of biofuels and biofuel policy on commodity prices, the impact of biofuel policy on commodity price variability is poorly understood. A good understanding of biofuel policy's impact on price variability is important for mitigating food insecurity and assisting policy formation. We examine how U.S. ethanol policies such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates and the blend wall affect the price variability of corn and gasoline. We first present an analytical and graphical framework to identify the effect and then use stochastic partial equilibrium simulation to measure the magnitude of the impacts. We show that RFS mandates and the blend wall both reduce the price elasticity of demand for corn and gasoline and therefore increase the price variability when supply shocks occur to the markets. This has important implications for policy actions with respect to maintaining or changing the current RFS mandates and/or blend wall in the US.Biofuel policy; Price variability; Commodity; Stochastic simulation

F18 - the Hot new Capricorn (Part I)
by John Curnow on 5 Nov 2012
Sailing the Capricorn GEN 2 - 2012 Moth World Champion Josh McKnight and crew Nina Curtis 2012 Olympic silver medallist James ogilvie
Every now and then a racing boat comes along that has success written all over it. Such is the new F18 Capricorn catamaran, Designed by multihull expert Dr Martin Fischer and built by an Australian marine company with a long, long multihull pedigree, Performance Sailcraft Australia (PSA). the boat is already delivering the goods
Dr. Martin Fischer lives in warm and windy Noumea and that is exactly how he describes the conditions there, which is definitely perfect for cats. This fluid dynamics legend has been and still is, attached to some of the most exciting wind-powered, high-speed, water born craft around. Add to that equation that he's French and their favourite nautical device is the multihull, and you'll see that the whole thing is definitely a good match.
Like any dedicated marine enthusiast, Martin is always striving for perfection. Currently he has a new A-Class and the 10-metre CG32 on the go, with another small cat in the mix, as well. Busy. And that does not even touch on his work in climate change. However, our main area of attention here is to his very recent enhancements to his original design of the Formula 18 Catamaran known as the Capricorn.
What follows, are the thoughts that Martin and Chris Caldecoat, the GM of Performance Sailcraft Australia, the highest volume boat builder in Australia have and an explanation of the pathway that has got them to the point of releasing the new Capricorn GEN 2.
Firstly though, if you have not seen an F18 cat in full flight, then you're certainly missing something.
Even more so, if you have not seen a cloud of these cats approach the top mark, head off to the hitch and then bear away for the set, then the noise from water, sail and humans can only be described as an intoxicatingly, raucous rush.
'It was really good and a lot of fun to come back to the Capricorn after the Wild Cat. Chris had the initiative, as he'd raced the Capricorn and really liked the boat. At that time we all knew that the Capricorn was a really quick boat, but a bit nosey, so quite difficult to sail downwind. The rights for the Capricorn had come back to me as a result of the creation of the C2, so Chris asked me to have a look at improving the original and here we are.
Chris is a very good sailor and has had a lot of input based on all his observations and knew exactly what he wanted to improve, so this is the way we progressed together', said Martin.
'The F18s are bit like the V8 Supercars and NASCAR, where if you win on the Sunday, you sell on the Monday', said Chris.
'They are a people orientated brand and the only sailing class that I know, to which this phenomenon occurs. F18s are the biggest cat class around the globe and I believe this is because it covers a wide demographic and is relatively affordable. Perhaps that's a bit similar to Etchells.'
'If you look at the F18 races, you can have two 18 year old kids out there, a girl and a boy, just like the new mixed Olympic multihull, or a 65 year old steering with a young bloke up the front. The latter is still winning races at the World Championships, so they mightn't win the regatta overall, but every now and then the dog has its day and that's enough to keep them in the class, which keeps people buying and it goes back to being a true club sport.'
'F18s have a crew weight limit of 150 kilos, so you can either put a 90 and 60 kilo crew together, or you can both be 75. If you go under, you do get a little lead penalty, which means it all stays very competitive and that all helps to ensure a widespread appeal, as well.' said Chris.
So the original Capricorn was designed by Martin and built in Bendigo. Its name was more of an homage to the particular degree of latitude that runs through Martin's adopted home, than to any goat bounding around the hills of country Victoria. Not only was it a sales success, but out on the track it took its fair share of World Championships, too.
More info at www.capricornsailing.com.
After five or six years, it has been superseded by the not new model and we've already seen how Chris, from PSA and Martin, with more accolades than an honour wall, had the genesis of a great idea.
Martin explains, 'What we did is to basically take the original shape and just put a sort of wedge in between the middle. It's a bit more complicated than that, but the principle was adding a flat underwater shape, because we knew from the newer boats that it doesn't do any harm. With the first Capricorn, the boat was slightly rounder and narrower, so the easiest thing to do was to just add a flat part in the middle, along the centre line, and that is what we did.'
'Another key change was to increase the freeboard a bit, mainly in the rear beam. The main beam basically stayed where it was but with the rear beam, we increased the height by about 60mm. This is to account for the fact that in strong winds and choppy conditions, the original rear beam hit the waves when you are sailing downwind. That is quite uncomfortable, as it really slows the boat down and can even lead to capsize, because if the rear beam hits a wave and you are at full speed then you really get a sort of shock. The guy on the trapeze may lose balance and then you capsize.'
'Now with these modifications, it means more volume overall and more freeboard at the back. You can push the boat out much harder than before. Chris tells me that with the new boat you can really go hard downwind and it seems upwind it's full of speed. Overall, it seems the modifications were quite successful', commented Martin.
'I have a huge passion for this class. I've sailed every type of F18 and the Capricorn is by far the quickest. It just needed some work to sort out its performance downwind, as it was too hard to sail. Martin and I have taken the original boat, kept the same look, spent a long time on the drawing board (i.e. computer) developing the modifications and it's now a bigger, faster boat', said Chris.
'The new Capricorn flies and it goes better upwind, too. There are a whole heap of technical changes we have made to it, especially in terms of the design, location and construction of all the foils. For instance, the rudders are underneath the hulls and we have two-metre long, solid carbon centreboards, which have been moved further for'ard, the beam's come further aft and the whole geometry of the boat has changed.'
'From about 10 metres away, the boat's profile looks like that of the original Capricorn, but it is wider and there is a lot more volume up for'ard. So much so that you can nearly make it plane up wind', said Chris.
That's all wonderful, but if you race a class with a box rule, then you either have to compromise or get creative to meet certain key elements, such as minimum dry weight, which for the F18 is 180 kilograms. Compromising can get dangerous, but creative can allow you to build the proverbial better mousetrap. It would appear that with the Capricorn, the latter has served as the guiding principle.
We'll be back with just what Martin and Chris have done with the new Capricorn and why their combined creative talents have created a perfect F18 cat. One that can be sailed far easier and still be very dangerous to the scoreboard, as their very impressive results showed on the weekend at the NSW F18 titles on Botany Bay have showed.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Year in review: Zombies reign and downloadable games rise in our 10 favorite video games of 2012
7. Mass Effect 3 – My experience with Mass Effect 3 was not the norm. I finished the story months after it was released, and I did so with both the "Extended Cut" and "Leviathan" DLC packs installed. As a result, I think I dodged a lot of what inspired fan outcry over the ending to this sci-fi trilogy. But even discounting that, the 30 hours I spent with Mass Effect 3 were some of the most enjoyable I had all year.

Hi Lester,
Firstly thanks a always for effort you put into your plugins, it really shows!
Regarding the Rating plugins I would like to suggest the follow as it's lacking in many other ratings plugins out there and I think it would push this plugin to the top of the line.
1) Schema, a full spectrum of schemas. Article, review, place etc. So many plugins out there don't give a full listing, and secondly it's what's needed to boost this plugin up a little ;)
2) sort by most voted. I know it's there somewhere! But it's quite hard to simply get a list of one's most voted for articles or reviews. At the moment one just gets a long list of "Title, then rating" I'd like to see it sorts as "title then - how many 5 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars etc" it got.
3) changelog. There's a lot of updating these days, I don't see any updated changelog here. Even if you keep the change log elsewhere it would be great to have a link saying so. I downloaded the latest but even the .txt was hard to read and figure out what had changed.
Again, just my 2cents.

Peer-to-peer overlay networks are attractive solutions for building Internet-scale publish/subscribe systems. However, scalability comes with a cost: a message published on a certain topic often needs to traverse a large number of uninterested (unsubscribed) nodes before reaching all its subscribers. This might sharply increase resource consumption for such relay nodes (in terms of bandwidth transmission cost, CPU, etc) and could ultimately lead to rapid deterioration of the system's performance once the relay nodes start dropping the messages or choose to permanently abandon the system. In this paper, we introduce Vitis, a gossip-based publish/subscribe system that significantly decreases the number of relay messages, and scales to an unbounded number of nodes and topics. This is achieved by the novel approach of enabling rendezvous routing on unstructured overlays. We construct a hybrid system by injecting structure into an otherwise unstructured network. The resulting structure resembles a navigable small-world network, which spans along clusters of nodes that have similar subscriptions. The properties of such an overlay make it an ideal platform for efficient data dissemination in large-scale systems. We perform extensive simulations and evaluate Vitis by comparing its performance against two base-line publish/subscribe systems: one that is oblivious to node subscriptions, and another that exploits the subscription similarities. Our measurements show that Vitis significantly outperforms the base-line solutions on various subscription and churn scenarios, from both synthetic models and real-world traces.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Mother Nature's Inn this last February for a weekend ski trip and loved it! It is a small, quiet, 8 room motel that backs up to the Tahoe City golf course. Located across the street from the beach and in the middle of Tahoe City, the location doesn't get much better. You can walk to all the shops, restaurants, and bars that Tahoe City has to offer. The motel is a 10 to 15 min drive to Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley ski areas. The room we stayed in had a very comfy mattress and the room was decorated in a darling cabin decor that is all available at the attached retail store. While we were there for the weekend there was a snow storm that had come in and the next day when we wanted to to get up and go skiing we were surprised to see someone was already up before us digging out the walk ways and our car. I would recommend Mother Nature's Inn to anyone looking for an affordable and centrally located place to stay in Tahoe City.
