Tires and Wheels
From the previous owner my Jeep is running 31x10.5 on 15x10. I have been putting mods on it to make it more trail ready and I will soon be going down to a 8" wheel so I can air down while out playing.
My question is; will a low number backspacing be harmful in anyway to the axle or anything else? I'm not sure of my current backspacing but I was looking at wheels that have a 2.5 backspacing mainly because I want the wheels to be pushed out more and I don't want to do wheel spacers since I already have to change my wheels. For more info about the Jeep I plan on doing a 2.5" lift in two weeks.
For trail air down, I would recommend going with a 15x7 wheel vs. 15x8 on a 10.5" wide tire. A 7" wide wheel will hold the tire better during air down for you tire size.The proper backspacing to prevent rub and sticks out a little, go with a BS of 3.75".
Keep in mind that if you decide to go with a larger tire in the future(11.5"-12.5" wide) ,then you have to go with 15x8.
I'm running 17x8 wheels with a 3.75" backspacing and 35x12.50 tires. I adjusted the steering strops and there is no contact while at street pressure and driving around. On the trail when I air down I get rubbing once again. One thing I learned, the hard way, to watch out for is the brake line that is mounted to the frame rail. On the last run my tire actually flexed enough for a lug to hit the steal brake line and bust it at the fitting. I lost brakes coming down the trail, in the middle of a hair pin turn that required stopping and backing up to make the turn. I was able to turn the Jeep off and stop before rolling over the edge.
If I would have had 1.25" spacers, or a wider backspacing, there would have been no issues. So take that into consideration when choosing backspacing.

How to fix a mushroomed strut tower?
I recently purchased a front strut brace for my 03 330Ci and when i went to put it in i found that my passengers side strut tower was all mushroomed up idk when it happened but it pressed it up so far that the little camber adjustment pin dropped down out of its hole. Since i noticed that i have noticed that my car has been pulling to the right at lower speeds with alot of wheel shake (not so much at highway speed). So my question is if there is anyway of fixing it other then just trying my best with some body shop hammers?
Thanks in advance
There are some DIY posts here, placing a block of wood on the strut tower and with a hammer, to shape it back in place. If there's no cracking, I would also install the OEM strut tower reinforcement plates ($7/piece) and the strut bar on the top. After that, I would take the car for an alignment
^ this. Some people also succeeded by installing the reinforcement plate and over torquing it.
If the negative camber isn't right I would also check if the strut isn't bent.
Sorry if this post doesn't make sense. I am writing on a cell phone.
There is no cracking and the paint isnt even chipped and i had purchased the reinforcement plates from ECS and the only ones they had were the completly round ones and with my car being a coupe the round reinforcement plates dont fit I need ones that have a flat part on one side of the plates. and how do i get the adjustment pin back in the hole on the top of the tower?
I would suggest the block of wood and a hammer method. Using the over torqued bolts and a reinforcement plate won't get the shape as close as a hammer, not to mention you will probably also bend the plate.
Getting it professionally fixed costs a bundle, but yours doesnt sound so bad, you may get away with the sort of fixes mentioned above.
That said it doesn't effect the car any unless its so bad it cant be aligned. I would guess most people have some level of mushrooming and don't know it because it is still possible to align it correctly.
you don't need those nipples at all... its only there for factory purposes.. most of the time they are chipped of for alignments.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using Bimmer App
Do u have any pix of the mushroom towers?
Sent from my PC36100 using Bimmer App
Pretty much every E46 i've seen has some level of mushrooming. i'm surprised my towers are perfectly flat. Reinforcement plates were one of the first things i did when i bought the car
As said you can often get the metal of the tower top back flat with a piece of wood and tapping on it.

and it was a DIY..cost me 28 dollars and patience.
i was asked about tips, regrets, etc, so here they are along with pics!
1.Tape off fenders and headlights..so glad i did this..otherwise..my car would have lost some weight by way of paint chips.
2. the spray can has this red nozzle on the tip...this looks like a safety thing..but dont remove it..it will lead to crap spray...
3. i intended to make it lighter than it came out..but i love the way it looks.
4. i unintentionally forgot to mask off the chrome outline on the bottom grill...the top grill had a separate chrome outline, where as the bottom grill is one piece, grill and outline. however, i started to like it because the top half had the chrome outline with the emblem, and the bottom half still had the chrome ring on the foglights..so i thought it came out ok.
5. make sure you are patient in reinstalling the front bumper. i'm not a fan of misaligned body panels. take your time, make sure you dont break any tabs.
6. make sure you do not have any extra screws, tabs, etc.
all in all, it was a super easy, just be patient!
anyways, here are some pics.

Bathroom demo day - dirt under the tub??
1 Attachment(s)
Demo'ed typical 5x10 hall bath today in readiness for a total update. Sledge hammered the cast iron tub into two chucks for (relatively) easy removal. Expecting to find the tub sitting in a mortor bed, instead found it packed with dirt under and around it. Lots of dirt - a couple trash cans full when shoveled out.
Was installed when the house was built new 25 years ago, San Diego area, single story 3 bed / 2 bath ranch style house on a concrete slab foundation.
Is this common? Good or bad?
My best guess would be that someone thought it would be an insulator to help keep the water warmer longer. Cast iron tubs do not need, and are not typically installed with a mortarbed. These "beds" are only needed on fiberglass or plastic tubs that may twist or flex when weight is added. Although I have never seen a dirt enclosure, I can't say it would hurt anything.
Dirt around the tub is one thing, but if it is migrating through a wall, I think I would be investigating some type of bug carrying it there. Filling a wall cavity with dirt would be really strange, but the dirt getting out of the wall is downright strange.
Well, as long as you have a reason that makes sense, your okay. My thinking was that there would be a 2x4 floor plate that the studs fasten to. Then the drywall would be connected to studs and plate. I suppose if only a couple nails/screws were used at the bottom of the drywall, it would be possible for the dirt to migrate.
Dirt under the tub
I found the same thing. My wife decided to re-caulk the tub and in doing so did not create a good seal. We eventually noticed a wet spot on the outside of the house just outside of the bathroom. I took out the surround, replaced the drywall, dried everything out, put in a new surround and sealed everything up. After a while I noticed the wet spot was not going away. Then there was a musty smell in the bedroom next to the bathroom. I pulled up the carpet in the corner and the pad underneath was all wet. Once I pulled the drywall away from the corner I saw why it wasn't drying out. There was dirt inside the area under the tub. I stopped by my local home depot to ask if this was usual practice and the guy I spoke with said it is possible they may have used dirt to hold the tub in place as the older ones did not have any way of attaching to the framing.
However, when you look at the dirt, it's only on one side and it's piled up in a way that it would have been impossible to set it in that amount of dirt. It was almost to the top of the tub both front and back. I also recall finding dirt in the wall cavity behind the toilet when I replaced the wall covering there too.
My initial thought was it was something done by the original owner. His son sold us the house and there was a pretty good crack in the foundation. He mentioned that his dad tried to do a few fixes himself but didn't know exactly what. My guess was that the dirt was something he did but I didn't know how it would apply and I still don't.
I live in La Mesa just outside the San Diego city limits. From what I can tell the tub is original and my house was built in the mid 1950's.
If anyone else has had the same situation it would be good to hear from you and get more insight.
Are you sure you don't have a gopher problem? I have had gophers pack dirt completely around an old floor furnace. I finally had to remove it and put in a wall unit and concrete in where the old furnace was to prevent the dirt. I had a friend that reported that gophers had completely packed dirt around his tub. He found it when doing plumbing repairs. I am also in CA and gophers present real problems for home owners out here if they have any access at all. It doesn't seem possible if you have a concrete slab our homes had crawl spaces. I can't imagine anyone using dirt below tub 25 yrs ago.
Good Luck
We do have problem with moles in the yard, and they are often at the end of the house where the bathroom is located and the tub is on an outside wall. I have seen them create some pretty huge mounds of dirt comparable in size the amount that was under the tub. And where the drain goes down there is a 10" square hole through the concrete slab.
If you have anywhere they can push dirt I'm confident that is your problem. I don't know what it is but they love to push dirt up against something. I even had an old mower in the backyard and they had completely packed dirt under the mower deck. I would seal the drain area completely if only with a couple inches of concrete around the drain. Would be easy to break out if the need arises.
My guess is that if the dirt packing was nice and tight then animals did it. Dirt instead of mortar used to install the tub would probably have fallen away and no longer made good contact.
Yep definitely critters at work. All that dirt came from under your slab.
The critters are back...
We are hearing scratching and tapping noises from under the tub area. Our cat is camped out in the tub trying to figure out how to get to whatever it is.
Any suggestions on how to move them elsewhere? As said before, it's too late to close up the area around the drain as the walls are all closed up and tiled...
make drywall opening cat door thru wall at drain end for kitty kitty

What's the most enduring image from the 2006 NBA Finals? Is it Gary Payton being roused from the dead to drain that jumper that won Miami Game 3? Was it Shaq looking like he'd finally lost a little bit of a step from his time with Orlando and Los Angeles? Was it Dwyane Wade in full Flash mode, averaging 28 points, just under 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, and looking totally, utterly unguarded for the majority of the series? Or do you remember the charity stripe?
Mark Cuban remembers the charity stripe. According to John Canzano of The Oregonian, who has just finished a five-part series on officiating in the NBA (it's a good read, but it also gives a lot of space to Tim Donaghy, which is kind of lame, as Donaghy's meal ticket these days is stoking the fire of suspicion about National Basketball Association refereeing), Cuban had enough suspicions to contact former FBI agent Warren Flagg, who now runs his own security and investigation firm.
"Cuban asked me what he should do," Flagg told Canzano. "I told him, 'Sue and you'll win your case,' but he knew he'd be killing the Golden Goose." For his part, Cuban claims that he doesn't remember whether he discussed the matter with Flagg.
There are a number of things wrong with this claim, by the way. Ball Don't Lie's Kelly Dwyer does a great job summarizing the salient points, saying that "the bravado behind Flagg's assertions that he'd definitely win a case against the NBA over referee calls is the height of ridiculousness. It wasn't about the 'Golden Goose.' There was nothing there."

|Re: Help needed: is couchDB a good fit for my app?
|Fri, 22 Apr 2011 07:14:27 GMT
Hello Clément, I can't really tell you if couchDB is the best fit for your project, but what i CAN tell you is how a colleague and I solved the problem concerning per document authorization. The application we wrote for our Master's Thesis is a Personal Information Manager for Android. We wanted to implement synch and replication with as little hassle to the user as possible. So we devised a system that at least lets us simulate per-document authorization. What we did was: 1.) Generate a user database on the phone. 2.) Register this user with a small RESTful webservice we wrote 3.) The webservice generates 2 databases at the couchDB server, one that is private and to which only the registered user has access, and (if it doesn't yet exist) a master "repository" database, to wich only the database admin has access 4.) Add replication between user database on the phone and private user database on the server, where you replicate everything. 5.) Next, we write views, that we add to the user-master replication mechanism, so that a.) every document from the private user database gets replicated to the master database b.) every document from the master database that adheres to a specific scheme (in our case we have a property called users, in which every authorized user is listed) is replicated back to the private database That way, we can ensure that the private database of the user only contains documents that he is allowed to see, and every shared document by this user gets replicated automatically to every authorized user. I am aware that there are some solutions similar to this floating around on the net, and you may or may not have already dismissed them as too complicated, but I can assure you, once this system is set up, it works like a charm. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to answer them (at least to the extent of my knowledge ;-) ) Kind regards, Philipp 2011/4/21 Clément Vollet <firstname.lastname@example.com> > Hi, I sent this email yesterday, but it didn't seem to arrive at > destination (I wasn't suscribed at that time).

Henry Mills was the fourth child and third son of Aaron and Charity Mendenhall Mills and grandson of Henry and Hannah Thornbrough Mills.
There is some controversy over the parentage of Hannah Thornbrough Woodward, grandmother of Hannah, and Hannah Thornbrough Mills, grandmother of Henry (See Hannah's Ancestors) For more Mills ancestry see the Quaker Mills Web Site.

The Mills Family in Tennessee
Henry and Hannah Woodward Mills were members of Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee.
On January 3, 1812, Henry Mills purchased 73 acres of land from Hannah's uncle Patrick Beard, who was preparing to leave for Wayne County, Indiana. The land was on the waters of Lost Creek adjacent to Joseph Bullard and Nathan Shelly. Nathan was related to Abigail Shelly who married Hannah's brother Samuel Woodward.
Henry's sister Hannah Mills was married to Isaac Hammer, Quaker minister, who witnessed Abraham Woodward's will.
Henry's brothers Seth and Moses Mills had married Charity and Elizabeth Thornbrough, daughters of Walter H. and Mary Baldwin Thornbrough (Mary was sister of Elizabeth Millikan Woodward's mother Ann Baldwin Millikan). Henry's sisters DeMaris and Charity Mills had married William Locke and John Gwin.
The move to Indiana
In 1814, Henry & Hannah Mills, Seth & Charity Mills, Moses & Elizabeth Mills, DeMaris & William Locke, and Charity and John Gwin, and their 60 year old mother, Charity Mendenhall Mills, all left for Wayne County, Indiana. Henry's father Aaron Mills had died in Jefferson County, 12/15/1794. Henry & Hannah Mills were received at Whitewater Monthly Meeting in Wayne County, Indiana, on November 26, 1814. Hannah's uncles Patrick Beard and John Woodward had preceded them to Wayne County.
The History of Hendricks County, Indiana contains a biography of son William C. Mills "…born in Wayne County, Indiana, at the present site of Economy. His parents were natives of N Carolina who moved to East Tennessee and thence in 1814 to Indiana. They located near Richmond, and then moved to Economy where they lived two years, but not liking Wayne County, returned to Tennessee. They subsequently moved again to Wayne County, where they lived till 1829 when they went to Hendricks County, Indiana, and settled on eighty of acres of land. In 1885 this land was owned by William's brother Aaron." This tidbit of information clears up some mystery about where the families were at given times.
In 1814 Henry and his Mills relatives purchased land in Wayne County. In November and December in 1823 Henry Mills purchased 160 additional acres of land in Wayne County (likely when the families returned?). Sometime before November 1830 Henry and Hannah moved to Hendricks County, Indiana, where Henry purchased 160 acres of land (supporting the above history). Henry Mills died in Hendricks County 3/16/1833, just two months after the birth of his daughter Hannah Mills. He was in good standing at White Lick Monthly Meeting and is buried in the cemetery there. Henry's mother Charity Mendenhall Mills outlived him by three years; she died in Wayne County, Indiana, 2/19/1836.
The 1850 census finds Hannah Woodward Mills living with her son Aaron and his family. They are found in Brown Township, Morgan County, Indiana, and are living just two families away from Hannah's brother Benjamin Woodward in Morgan Township, Morgan County (Hannah on the last page of Brown Township and Benjamin on the first page of Morgan).
More on the Children of Henry and Hannah Mills
Josiah and Martha Hadley Mills and Jeremiah and Anna Mills Hadley
We did not find a marriage for Josiah and Martha in Indiana and perhaps they married before making the trip to Indiana. Jeremiah and Anna were married 8/17/1836 in Morgan County, Indiana.
Josiah Mills and wife Martha are found in 1850 in Liberty Township, Hendricks County, Indiana (just north of Morgan County). They have children: Sarah Jane, 12; Lucinda, 11; Wm H, 10; Emma, 8; Simon, 5; Eliza, 3; Julia, 1.
Jeremian Hadley and wife Anna are found in Morgan Township, Morgan County, next to Anna's uncle, Benjamin Woodward. They have children Henry, 12, In; Perry, 11, In; Enoch, 9, In; Cyrus, 6, In; Charity, 4, In; Calvin, 2, In; Seth 1/12, In. Mother Hannah lives nearby.
William Clarkson and Rebecca Hadley Mills
Son William Mills married Rebecca Hadley 12/18/1839 in Hendricks County, Indiana, according to Indiana Marriage Records to 1850. Rebecca was daughter of John B. and Elizabeth Hadley and we do not know the connection (if any) to the above Hadleys.
The "History of Hendricks County, Indiana" includes more on William Mills. He received a good education for the early day but the greater part of his time was spent in assisting on the farm. When he married he settled on a tract of land in the woods, on the Lick Fork, where he lived eight years. He then sold the land. In the fall of 1855 he bought the farm of Joseph Moffett where he moved in 1856. In 1885 he owned about 800 acres of land. He made a specialty of stock raising.
William and Rebecca had children: Emily (b. 1840 d. 1842); Henry (b 1842 d 1854); John H. (b. 9/14/1843, m. Harriett Williams); Charles H.

Technology: The Heartbeat of Generation Z
I was thrilled and honoured to have Jessica spend this week with me learning about the world of PR as part of her Work Experience Program. I didn't have this type of program when I was in high school in the US and wish I had. It is an excellent way to provide Australian students with insights into careers they are considering pursuing in the future.
While we discussed the role of a PR professional, the media landscape, pitching journalists and developing story ideas, we also talked about Cisco and our vision to "Change the way we work, live, play and learn." It is on the topic of "how the Internet has changed the way we learn", that Jessica has elected to write the following blog.
Technology: The Heartbeat of Generation Z
Your heart thudding inside your chest is as fundamental to human life as technology is to Generation Z (those born since the late 1990s). Their smartphones, tablets and computers are an extension of themselves. This is evident in their compulsion to constantly check devices as they seek new information, connection and independence. Perhaps what they do not realize is that their lives and learning are dependent on this technology, without which, they could risk losing marks and even a heartbeat.
Still in school, Australia's Generation Z is immersed in the rapid influx of knowledge and resources that the Internet supplies. They are accustomed to advancements in technologies and the presence of the Internet, which is now supplied in a seamless manner, wirelessly. This gives students the ability to move effortlessly without being hindered by a cable. Other developments in technology have increased the flexible approach to learning; appropriate study techniques; multitasking and optimal usage of time studying.
While still in school, it's difficult to comprehend how these skills will transfer to the work place, but here's what I've learned as a result of my work experience:
- A flexible and creative approach to learning. Technology is presenting young people with many different approaches to expressing what we've learned. It encourages creativity by providing us with more choices, such as between utilising the classic 'death by PowerPoint' or a dynamic video presentation. Taking an avant garde approach to presentations is encouraged by teachers and it is great to be so supported. For us, this whole-hearted acceptance of technology and encouragement to think "out of the square" helps prepare us for a future career that will require engagement and resourcefulness.
- Technology is intended to support students, but not do our work. With so much information available on the Internet it's tempting to borrow other people's ideas. However, there are now technologies that prevent plagiarism, such as Turnitin. It's present in my own school, Pittwater House. Turnitin scans research assignments (word documents) for plagiarism and can pinpoint if you have copied sentences or whole paragraphs. This is through comparing your assignment to information found on the Internet, other assignments written by your classmates and any other school that is submitting assignments through Turnitin. It highlights the amount one has plagiarised, notes the Internet source and the percentage of work plagiarised. Applications like Turnitin requires students to take the time to study effectively; use their brains and correctly paraphrase and reference information.
- More than multitasking, it's creative group thinking. Between sports, work and individual assessments, finding a suitable time for everyone to meet is next to impossible. Aps like Google docs allow us to simultaneously work on and update a document without any duplication of effort – and conveniently! It's also easily accomplished from any device (for example I have access to a smartphone, laptop, iPad and iPod). Plus, the document displays the contributions of each person allowing each to build upon another's ideas. The result is more creative, a true blend of everyone's ideas and time efficient. A side benefit is it eradicates the commuting costs thereby allowing me to enjoy diner and conversation with my family.
While technology is clearly incorporated in our learning experience, schools are putting weight on traditional learning methods. For example, one of my school assessment tasks required us to use multiple sources, which resulted in travelling to the library to find a relevant book. Thus, Generation Z is offered an enhanced learning experience, which accepts the past practices while embracing the advantages of technology for the future.
By: Jessica Holley, Year 10, who spent this week at Cisco exploring the world of work as part of Pittwater House Schools' Work Experience Program.

Finally, the age of technology as a service is seeping across all layers of society. Education though could be the most crucial of all.

Well this isnt WRX related but I thought it was so damn funny I just had to share it. Ok, I needed some extra money and rather then slave away 8 hours a day for $7 an hour at some grocery store, I decided to get into driving cab. I just started 3 days ago and I thought I would share some funny stuff. We drive 2003 Dodge grand caravan sports which carry a 3.3L V6 and put out 180 hp. I must say I am slightly surprised because it actually has a little punch...well, punch for a minivan.
Well these Civics do 0-60 in a pathetic 9 seconds so I knew I could try this, I think I can RUN a quarter mile faster then the Civic can drive it. So I was in a lane that was ending and had to merge left to the lane where the civic was, so I look over at the 20 something year old at the light and he knew what I was thinking. The line of cars was way too long to try to get over once I went thru the light so I had no choice but to unleash the awesome power of the soccer mom mobile. I turn off the AC, time the light perfectly and hit the gas!! WEEEE such power. I got ahead of the guy by the time I hit 50 and was able to get into his lane with about a length to spare so I didnt really cut him off. Speed limit is 60, he gets into the right lane and so we paced each other at about 65 or so and came to the next signal. It is one of those dual right hand turn lanes and the green arrow was lit so we take the turn at the same time next to each other and we both punch it. Again, the little minivan that could puts a good length on the civic to my surprise and I cant help but laugh. He pulls up next to me at the red light and I try to surpress my laughter, light turns green and I just let him take off. I wonder if he will ever tell his friends about this

Costs of Floating Breakwaters
As introduced in the book by Patri and Wayne, Breakwaters are really important for ocean colonization: they present significant cost benefits which are essential to make an ocean community of a certain size, not just a single fancy hotel or business park. It is also a subject being discussed in the engineering forums.
The advantage of using a breakwater is that it eliminates all the problems caused by waves. Structures become much cheaper, safer, and easier to expand, seaplanes can land, and cargo is easier to offload. But to do this, you must dissipate the tremendous energy found in ocean waves and do it continuously, for years on end, even during severe storms. If the breakwater fails, suddenly your structures must face waves they were not designed for, which may be disastrous. In principle, the floating breakwaters are the most suitable ones, as the artificial ones resting over the sea bottom are limited to a few meters in depth.
The problem as introduced in a previous blog post is the cost. How much would it cost to establish a floating breakwater in the ocean? Here we show some numbers.
According to FDN Engineering, the floating breakwaters can be categorized into 3 types:
• T-Block, used only at locations with water depths up to 6 meters or wave heights up to 1.1 meters.
• U-Block, recommended for more severe conditions with water depths up to 12 meters or wave heights up to 2.5 meters.
• Heavy Duty U-Block, for even more extreme conditions.
They are shown in the graph below:
The table below gives an overview of the design possibilities of these types of floating breakwaters. These numbers are only indications, as the exact numbers depend on the local conditions and the clients' wishes. The cost estimate is an estimation of the direct costs of the build of a breakwater, including anchorage and installations, excluding VAT.
Heavy Duty U-Block
up to 20 m
up to 30 m
50+ m
3 – 4 m
4 – 7 m
7 – 18 m
Height (total)
3 – 4 m
4 – 7 m
7 – 18 m
Water depths
up to 6 m
6 – 12 m
> 12 m
Wave heights
up to 1.1 m
1.1 – 2.5 m
> 2.5 m
Cost estimate
3.000 € / meter
€ 5.000 € / meter
10.000 € / meter
In any case, floating breakwaters are still an unsolved the problem for seasteading purposes because the biggest Heavy Duty U-Block was the semi-floating jetty installed in Monaco hinged to the coast, set in water 55 m deep and with a design maximum wave height of 4.9 m. Also, as already mentioned, according this thesis, for water depths over 60 m the cost of the floating breakwater is unknown. We reproduce here the graph from page 15 of that thesis. The line of cost/m finishes precisely in 55 m, the water depth reached in Monaco, with a cost per meter around 75.000 €.
It still seems a sizable engineering challenge to establish a floating breakwater in the middle of the ocean outside of the EEZ. But on the other hand, and as it was suggested in the previous blog post and in the engineering forum, installing them in a seamount in benign waters might be a possibility.
17 Comments on "Costs of Floating Breakwaters"
I'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense.
1) A floating breakwater will cost the same regardless of whether it's moored in 10m of water or 1000m. The costs for materials, labor, etc will not change. So you need to simply calculate the size of the required breakwater and its design, then come up with a cubic meter volume of concrete needed. Calculate labor costs and you have the cost of the breakwater. The only thing that will vary depending on depth is the mooring system.
2) Why on Earth would it cost €50k to moor in 30m of water and €90k to moor in 40m? Are you telling me that an extra 10m of line costs €40k? I find that very hard to believe.
When calculating the cost of any floating breakwater you need to break it down into two pieces: the cost of the physical breakwater itself and the mooring system. That is the only way to get a reasonable estimate.
Yes, you are totally right, as FDN Engineering says:
the cost estimate is an estimation of the direct costs of the build of a breakwater, including anchorage and installations, excluding VAT.
That is the reason why it depends on water depth: because anchoring/mooring and installation are included. Of course, it would be great to have each of these costs separately!!
I have to agree with i_is_j_smith – the cost of the chain can not be the driving force on that cost development.
We need to do some extra work here – what is the cost of concrete building and forming ( USD / ton) that this specific engineering firm is working with? – is it compareable with other civil engineering projects (it should be) if not what is the argument for the cost excess.
What is the general cost of deep water mooring handled in the oil/gas industry. A good starting point is here: (history of deep water anchor handling)
Anchoring should always be in the range of a few percent of the structure building cost .
A related discussion is here: Monaco floating Breakwater
My general course of action in project management would be to mistrust frontpage cost info until the cost structure can be explained with logic arguments and checked with third party cross reverences.
This chart looks far to "freehand painted" to be trustworthy – i would not base a business development strategy on this info.
We should also have clear that the cost development depends very much on the specific charateristics of the anchor rig.
Although it may be true that handling cost grows with the weight of a kilometer long chain – this is absolutly not true for neutral buoyant anchor lines which are basicly independet of water depth. (reference cousteau deep sea anchor experiments) . Cousteau anchored Calypso with polypropylen line (finger thick) in mid ocean.
A general chart cost versus depth is in itself highly questionable – way to global – what anchor rig type we are talking about ?
European Submarine Structures AB
the cost estimate is an estimation of the direct costs of the build of a breakwater, including anchorage and installations, excluding VAT.
I just don't see the purpose in releasing a mixed cost graph like this. Obviously FDN Engineering know the estimated individual costs of each component, otherwise they wouldn't be able to calculate the total cost estimate!
A floating breakwater needs to be treated as two seperate projects: the physical structure itself and the mooring system. The benefit of doing it this way is that you can tweak each piece for the given situation.
For instance you might want to look at multiple anchoring systems like VLAs, suction piles, etc….each which is going to have different installation and maintenance costs.
Also when we are talking about breakwater cost – which one we are talking about?
Are we talking about "net like" breakwaters – like the tire weave, a solid piece of floating concrete type marina walkway, chain beakwaters like the blue one below, second use breakwaters lik a pelamis field, submerged tunnel breakwaters – or which of the dozends of options for wave atenuation that have been discussed on the forums…
Or are we talking about breakwaters so big that the breakwater IS the seastead – as performed in the Monaco Breakwater where the Breakwater contains a park house, a shopping mall, several buildings etc….
We could probably start with something like the floating marina below – using a single "hard breakwater" in a unidirectional wave ambient. Maybe a triangular configuration? – and end up something the size of palm dubai…
European Submarine Structures AB
Ellmer, the costs shown are related to real costs of real floating breakwaters already built. I think that the one in Monaco designed by FND Engineering is the biggest one, and it was built attached to the coast, in the benign and shallow waters of Mediterranean Sea.
Of course, it could be great for seasteading purposes to find examples (and their costs) of other floating breakwaters built in deeper waters, in more harsh enviroments, and not attached to the coast.
The monaco breakwater was built in Algeciras Spain and towed to Monaco – so it did very well floating in the high seas during a 1000 mile voyage. (video building of the breakwater )
The waters of the mediterranean Sea are anyything less than benign due to the temperature differences of surrounding landmasses that make storms much worse. (video waves in Monaco)
The rocky coast of Monaco is a quite storm exposed and hazardous place for ships – some of the wildest "storm against coast" videos you can find are from there…
The general idea that deeper water is equal harsher environments is not acertive – Cape Hoorn is shallow water – that IS what makes the hoorn a dangerous place due to steep breaking waves – hazardous for ships.
Example of floating breakwater proyect study for LNG tankers
Building and floating out of the Ekofisk breakwater and tank in the North Sea designed for 30m wave height.
Floating moored structures that have breakwater funtions miles out in open sea. (Adriatic LNG, Nkossa)
Structures of thousands of tons moored in deep water (more than 2000m) in industrial scale.
I would suggest to step away from the theory that a floating breakwater is a extreme special case never done anywhere – basicly any structure at sea works as breakwater and wave attenuation device.
Just look at the wave attenuation of ice fields, kelp fields, mangrove roots, even oil spills, etc…
I think the postulation that a floating breakwater is a "engineering challenge" needs to be "UNPOSTULATED" to make the seasteading proyect move forward.
The cost of a floating concrete structure of any kind should be in the order of cost of "cubic meter concrete" of a landbased construction site. As the building and forming process is almost identical – especially if the structure is really big.
The cost of the mooring device should be in a order of a few percent of the structure cost. I would take the ratio structure / mooring cost of the oil industry and reduce it a bit as the position tolerances for seasteads are far less stringent so the anchor rig can be more economic.
I would also crosscheck cost data with general civil engineering – and avoid situations where single source engineering firm data get a strategic postulate status for the seasteading movement…
A structure should not fall out of a general frame of 1200USD per squaremeter floorspace (which is average building cost in europe UK) (equivalent to 2,5 cubic meter of living space at 2,5m room height)
Having the volume of the structure this cost check should be easy.
In general the structure cost should not fall out of the frame of 480 USD (367 Euro) per cubic meter.
We have handled projects at 331 Euro per cubic meter even for concrete hulls capeable to submerge hundreds of meters and with complicated forming in blimp shape curves.
So building what is a simple concrete box with breakwater function in that cost frame should not be a big deal. Although it may be enourmous in size like the existing floating structures below. (Nkossa, Adriatic LNG, Rion, Glomar Beaufort, etc…)

AUV gliders demonstrate that active station keeping does not have to be an energy expensive process.
A breakwater composed of spar seasteads with variable buoyancy could easily use solar collectors to passively generate energy, and when their location has drifted too far, flood their ballast tanks until they reach operating depth before purging their ballast tanks and modifying their center of balance/control surfaces/geometry in order to "cork" back to the surface at their intended destination.
To manage such a swarm at depth, it may be advantageous to reel in the lines lashing them together and pack them together like pencils in a rubber band.
If their leading edge surface area geometry were ring/torus shaped then that seems like the ideal pressure housing geometry to stabalize their "flight", and offering the flexibility to make a "pack formation".
Tensairity would be one means by which such a swarm could be held in a relatively stable formation, with the desired shock absorbant qualities which would be necessary.
We could call it "Endor."
I guess my point is that if anchor lines are the single largest expense in deep water floating break waters, cut the anchor and resort to station keeping.
The geometry of these breakwaters seems to be simple enough and any shape which is strong enough to withstand tidal forces will have a dampening impact.
The question of whether a breakwater structure should be moored or use dynamic positioning (DP) is mostly a matter of cost. (No final numbers so no final verdict.)
The advantage of dynamic positioning is that you have flexibility of moving the structure anywhere you want while the disadvantage, as you have eloquently pointed out, is that mooring costs are essentially a one time cost.
I agree with you that positioning costs look like they will be much higher than mooring if done using diesel/electric DP but if most DP can be handled by many small hard sails then the equation might tip back toward DP.
I have done a "Reverse Cost Analysis" on the cost effectiveness of a breakwater structure by lineal ft. The breakwater structure I had in mind was a pneumatic concrete structure that is 30'x15'x18′ for each unit. It should handle most waves and it would be 30 lineal ft on sea side with a minimum of 40 units making a small breakwater square.
I made a number of assumptions including how much space each seastead should take inside the breakwater and the arbitrary number of $100,000 per seascape in capital costs.
When talking cost per seastead, I am only refering to the breakwater cost, not the seastead cost itself.
Here are some of my conclusions:
- If cost is $100,000 per stead then cost per lineal ft of breakwater with 15 steads would be ~$1,000 per lineal ft
- if cost is $1,500 per lineal ft then 32 steads would have to participate at $100,000 each
- If cost is $2,000 per lineal ft then 50 steads would have to participate at $100,000 each
- At $3,000 per lineal ft 50 steads would have to participate at $150,000 each instead of $100,000 (not shown)
|# Steads
- The cost per lineal ft of breakwater is critical to the feasibility of building it
- The number of people who have to participate and the likelyhood of it being feasible are inversely proportional
- This is a backward cost analysis. I don't know if an adequate breakwater can be made for $1,000 or even $3,000 per lineal ft

Constructing breakwaters that offer proper protection in particular at the high seas will be challenging to say the least – technically as well as economically.
My question is why bother trying to control the ocean? Who would want to invest or live on board a structure whose (only? main?) safeguard is a floating breakwater? In particular when we already have access to floating structure that can resist any weather at any ocean location?
Would it not be worth considering to accept a somewhat larger range of motion and opt to base an offshore structure on the shape of a normal large comercial vessel. For large vessels the motions are largely decided by the shape and the degree of stability.
A structure of the dimensions of a VLCC of say 250.000TDW could remain stable and livable throughout all weather conditions, and probably be significantly cheaper to construct and maintain than the platform consytructions based on the offshore industry standards. In particular if built of concrete rather than steel.
Hi Anders, the rationale for a breakwater is that it reduces the wave-handling requirements of structures located within it. And the area inside is a square of the linear dimensions whereas the breakwater itself is linear. Therefore it offers a potential reduction in cost. However as noted, if the breakwater fails for example during a large storm, the less capable structures inside may risk sinking.
Regarding mooering (anchoring), the cost of mooring in deep water is probably a much greater proportion of system cost than anchoring a much smaller structure in relatively shallow, protected waters near shore. Miguel has some research about this already:
seems to show that the cost of dynamic positioning, i.e., lots of fuel burn, is lower than the cost of mooring.
It's impossible to talk seriously about the cost of breakwaters without first laying out the requirements that the breakwater is intended to address. Depth of water, worst-case sea conditions the breakwater must withstand, and — above all — worst acceptable wave conditions that must be be guaranteed in the shelter of the breakwater.
Depth of water does matter a lot, even for floating breakwaters. It's not just because it affects the cost of mooring, but because it affects the character of the seas that the breakwater will be expected to block. In the deep waters of the open ocean, there may be long-period swells a quarter mile or more between crests with periods of 15 to 30 seconds. If the breakwater is required to block such swells — well, good luck.
If the swells have a maximum height of 30 meters from trough to crest — not impossible in a sustained gale — a floating breakwater able to block them completely would need a cross section of around 100 meters high by 400 meters wide. 25 meters of its height would be freeboard, and 75 meters draft. The 400 meter width is needed to prevent wave-induced movement of water under the breakwater from regenerating the swells on the sheltered side, and to provide sufficient inertial mass and lateral rigidity to serve as an "immovable object" to the swells.
A floating breakwater of that class would not be simply a breakwater; it's a linear city! Its cost would probably work out to something on the order of a $1 million per meter. But is it necessary to block long-period deep ocean swells entirely? Of course not, if all you're looking for is a sheltered place to moor houseboats. But if you want to have rigid rafts with large surface areas and minimal cost per area, then maybe it is. Any long-period swells incompletely blocked would break such rafts like a child snapping a slab of peanut brittle. OTOH, if you go with hundreds of flexibly connected smaller rafts, you can have all the cheap surface area you want, and they'll simply ride over the long-period swells. But you have to define the sea environment you're prepared to tolerate.
I remember a long time ago there was an experiement using subsurface buoys to break up the waves. The buoys were arranged in a grid pattern underwater tethered to the bottom. The theory behind it was the round shape of the buoy below the water's surface would break up the harmonic wave pattern.
As you know, a wave is not necessarily a body of water moving along the surface but an harmonic wave pattern that moves the water up and down in place like a Tsunami. While wind and tides generate waves, what is actually happening is the wind is impressing a harmonic energy signature upon the water's surface where this energy transfer causes the surface of the water to vibrate at a harmonic frequency of sorts. Placing a buoy below the surface interrupts that harmonic frequency. This concept might be a lot cheaper than solid floating breakwaters plus allow shipping to pass through with minimal obstruction.
I'm no expert, but I do have a few outside the box ideas now and then. Reading about breakwaters this morning got me thinking. Breakwaters are a new concept for me, so I hope you'll excuse me if my ideas seem naive or aren't viable.
I have some experience in construction, and have wondered a long time about the possibilities of using various plastics such as closed cell foams to form structural members instead of the traditional concrete/stone, steel or wood. I think plastics could be the ideal material for building breakwaters because of their flexibility, resistance to corrosion, relative strength and light weight . The initial costs may be higher than the costs of traditional building materials, but could be offset by lower maintenance costs, longer expected useful life, transportability, etc. The biggest disadvantage I can see besides cost is vulnerability to fire.
I have a vision of a breakwater made of a plastic shell topped with translucent materials and filled with soil. Essentially a series of floating terreriums used to grow whatever crops might be in greatest demand, whether that would be fresh foods, flowers, medicinal or culinary herbs, landscape plants, a botanical garden for tourism, or a research lab. The surface could be used for any number of activities as long as sunlight remains relatively unobstructed.
Alternately, I wonder if a series of turbines or other mechanical devices used to power generators could act as a breakwater and if this could be cost effective.
There's a lot of energy in waves. Perhaps wave energy converters would soak up some of that energy before it hits the breakwater, and also provide electrical power?
I think that a traditional breakwater in the deep ocean is the best way to go for political reasons. Anything you can do to mitigate the chances of a nearby country claiming your seastead (a-la Minervia). It's more expensive, but you may be able to balance that against the cost of living in a first-world country.
" In the deep waters of the open ocean, there may be long-period swells a quarter mile or more between crests with periods of 15 to 30 seconds. "
It seems to me that long period swells wouldn't pose any danger at all to a seastead (since they aren't cresting, and since the entire community is lifted basically at the same time). Its the short-period and tall waves that pose a danger.
"There's a lot of energy in waves. Perhaps wave energy converters would soak up some of that energy before it hits the breakwater, and also provide electrical power?"
I imagine if someone built a deep sea community, there would be a strong need for independant electricity. So, I'd think some sort of wave power plant or solar power plant would be built pretty quickly.

Members of the Silent Aryan Warriors gang are accused of tying down a female member, disrobing her and forcibly tattooing her abdomen, identifying her as a "rat."
In charges filed Wednesday, police wrote that a 30-year-old man and six other unknown men met the victim at an apartment near 3825 S. 700 West on Nov. 1, 2010.
The gang members accused the victim, who goes by Youngster, of being an FBI agent, police wrote.
After they tied her wrists and ankles, "they then pulled her pants down to her knees, lifted up her shirt and tattooed 'Ratta 100%' on her abdomen with a tattoo gun," police wrote. "When she cried loudly during the tattoo, someone put a sock in her mouth and duct-taped it around her head."

Much as I admire the radical spirit of Charles Falconer's evidence to the joint committee on the draft constitutional renewal bill (Falconer savages Brown's 'trivial' reform bill, May 22), I cannot resist feeling that it would have been far better if he had shown a similar radical edge while he was responsible for constitutional affairs. Democratic Audit has criticised the bill severely in its evidence, and we wholly agree that the office of attorney general should be depoliticised and his or her advice on public interest issues should be made publicly accountable to parliament.
But the bill is not trivial or pointless. The recognition that the royal prerogative powers at the disposal of ministers must be made accountable to parliament is a major advance that the Thatcher, Major and Blair governments refused to countenance; and placing the civil service on a statutory footing is a long-delayed reform. The bill's proposals on war powers and ratifying treaties give the government far too much wriggle room and we hope the joint committee will tighten parliament's grasp. However, as I said in oral evidence to the committee, let's take what we can get.

There were was another byelection last week: one held in the Lords among certain hereditary peers. The cross-bench Earl of Stair was elected to the Lords after a byelection in which only 26 peers participated. The Crewe and Nantwich result could easily be overturned at the next election; the hereditary peer returned to the House of Lords will remain there for life.

Motherboards / Socket AM3+ Motherboard
Currently the home of AMD's Bulldozer and Vishera chips, with far-reaching backwards compatibility, the 990FX chipset on the AM3+ platform occupies the high end of AMD's lineup. ASUS's ROG board swept the vote, as it did in the other motherboard polls. Clearly the Republic of Gaming line strikes a chord with OCN members.
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
"So many features and overclocks like a dream. Couldn't ask for better."
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
"When it comes to AM3+ boards, nothing is better than the 990FXA UD7 rev1.1"
ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional
"This motherboard has been as great as all of the reviews said it was."

Strange Brewing plans to make headlines in May and honor the Rocky Mountain News
Read all about it: Two former Rocky Mountain News employees, John Fletcher and Tim Meyers, plan to open Denver's newest beer house, Strange Brewing, in May.
Both men were laid off by the Denver Newspaper Agency in February 2009 when the News - which was half of the DNA, along with the Denver Post - was shuttered by its parent company, Scripps Howard, after 150 years in business.
While they'd always wanted to start a brewery, the time was never right, Fletcher says. Either hops prices were too high, or it didn't make sense to quit their jobs. "We'd been talking about it for a few years. Once we were let go, we didn't really have a choice."
Located in an industrial warehouse complex, at 1330 Zuni Street, Unit M, just a few blocks from Invesco Field at Mile High, Fletcher and Meyers plan to open May 17 - the first day of American Craft Beer Week - with three beers on tap, a pale ale, an IPA and a wit. They'll sell kegs to local bars and restaurants and operate a tap room.
They will also brew a one-year anniversary beer, which they'll age for a year, that will honor both their brewery and the April 23 anniversary of the News. It will probably be called 151 - as in 150 years of publishing by the news, plus one.
"This is kind of a way to pay homage to it," Fletcher says.

Wiring Ceiling Box to Switch
My house is about 2 yrs old. In one of the bedrooms the switch is wired to control an outlet, and there is no ceiling fixture. I want to add a ceiling box (for a ceiling fan), and wire the ceiling box to the switch. Once complete I want the switch to control the ceiling fan, and the outlet to be always hot. Is this possible? How difficult to wire? Any instructions and advice would be appreciated.
Very simple change.
You may need to rewire at the receptacle to make it always hot and change the cable to the switch to feed line from a switch loop.
The run a cable from the swithc box to the new ceiling box. I recommend a 3 wire + ground cable in csse you ant a ceiling fan with light at some time in the future. This will allow separate control of light and fan.
If you open the switch box and the receptacle and tell us the wiring we can tell you what to change.

Ford to reopen shuttered plant in Windsor, Ontario
TORONTO (Reuters) - About 300 employees of Ford Motor Co are set to return to work in Windsor, Ontario, after the company announced on Monday it would reopen an engine plant shuttered in November.
The announcement comes on the back of a deal between Ford and the government of Ontario province, which will chip in C$17 million ($16.6 million) toward Ford's C$170 million investment in a new engine program.
Ford didn't say what kind of engine would be produced or when production would begin, but media reports say the Essex Engine Plant will assemble a new generation of fuel-efficient V8 engines.
The plant employed as many as 2,000 workers in its heyday, making V-6 and V-8 engines at one time, but that number had dwindled to about 500 when Ford shut it down in November.

Look into the lace? When the eyes begin to fill with tears and the patience is long exhausted, there will appear a glimpse of something not quite seen... In this moment, an image will begin to form? in the space between what is real and what is only imagined. Can you read your future in a piece of lace? All of the Whitney women can. But the last time Towner read, it killed her sister and nearly robbed Towner of her own sanity. Vowing never to read lace again, her resolve is tested when faced with the mysterious, unsolvable disappearance of her beloved Great Aunt Eva, Salem's original Lace Reader. Told from opposing and often unreliable perspectives, the story engages the reader's own beliefs. Should we listen to Towner, who may be losing her mind for the second time? Or should we believe John Rafferty, a no nonsense New York detective, who ran away from the city to a simpler place only to find himself inextricably involved in a psychic tug of war with all three generations of Whitney women? Does either have the whole story? Or does the truth lie somewhere in the swirling pattern of the lace?
