This article describes a detailed procedure for installing a new web application on an existing IIS website, when Wix3 is used to create the msi file. This can be a common requirement in a large deployment. However, I find it's a lot of work to actually get it done,
1 The Requirement
The SFS application I am working on used to have a fixed installation directory under the Default Web Site which is "C:\inetput\wwwroot\SFS". And one day we got a message from our deployment team:
Installing a new (or existing) web application into our Production cluster may seem like a simple thing, but believe me, there are a variety of things that make it just complex enough to need to be explained and just complex enough that the MSI you create to install an application needs to be smarter than you think.
- First of all, an application gets installed into a web site. Our Production servers have more than one web site on them: Intranet, Extranet, Public, etc. When your setup program tries to install itself, if it does not specify a particular web site it will "choose" the first one that it gets from IIS. This is most likely the Default Web Site, but not always, and, depending upon the accessibility of the application (Extranet vs. Intranet) it may not even be the correct site. If it is not the correct site we have to try and move it from one site to another, but any special configuration that may have occurred may not be moved over causing no end of grief for both you and us. As a result, your setup program needs to query IIS with regard to the web sites that are available and provide a drop down list to the person doing the installation so that they can pick the correct site.
- Next, an application needs to tell us which Virtual Directory it needs to get installed in. Pretty straight forward. Your setup program needs to prompt for this with the default being where you are expecting it to be.
- OK, next step, application pool. While applications don't need their own application pool it makes things a lot easier to troubleshoot and manage if they do. As a result, the setup program needs to prompt for the Application Pool that the application should be using after it is installed.
- Also finished. If your setup program makes changes to config files based on the environment (thank you!!!) then you need to provide a list of environments for which you can make changes. A drop down list, a set of radio buttons, anything that allows us to pick an environment would be preferred as opposed to a free form text field. If it is free form , do you want "Production", "PROD", "Prod" or "P"? Things should be as simple as possible.
- Last thing: is there some way to run your MSI in an automated fashion, without human intervention? What if we used a different process for installing your application and had automated deployments set up for 4:00 AM. How do we set all of the parameters for your application? Can it be done? Think about it.
And below was the sample screen they gave me:
Note: To install in the root directory of the selected website, leave the Virtual Directory field empty. Or, you can specify the Virtual Directory to create/update a virtual directory under the selected website.
2 Microsoft Fix
Microsoft actually released a fix to provide a solution for this problem:

White Christmas by Bing Crosby Songfacts
This 8-line song that paints a picture of holiday nostalgia was written by Irving Berlin for the 1942 movie
Holiday Inn
, where Bing Crosby sings it from the perspective of a New Yorker stranded in sunny California during Christmas. In the film, the song begins with this verse:
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north
Crosby recorded a version of the song for release as a single with the Kim Darby Singers and the John Scott Trotter Orchestra on May 29, 1942 - a few months before the movie hit theaters. At the advice of Bing's record producer Jack Kapp, this original first verse was excised as it made no sense outside of the context of the film. Now starting with the familiar, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas," the song became a huge hit, going to #1 on the Billboard chart (measuring sales) in October, and staying in the top spot for 11 weeks, taking it through the first two weeks of 1943.
Irving Berlin wrote another holiday song that Crosby also sang in the film: "Let's Start the New Year Right." This was released as the B-side of the "White Christmas" single.
The song enjoyed a sales resurgence every Christmas after it was first released in 1942. It went to #1 that year in America, and again reached the top spot in 1945 and 1947. The song appeared on various
charts every year until 1963 when it finally dropped off the Hot 100.
A perennial seller for an entire generation, the song is by far the biggest-selling Christmas song of all time. It was the biggest-selling song of all time, going back and forth with Bill Haley's "
Rock Around The Clock
," until Elton John released his tribute to Princess Diana - "
Candle In The Wind
Bing re-recorded the song on March 19, 1947, again with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra because the original masters had been worn out from all the pressings. It is this version that is most often heard today.
The original Drifters with Clyde McPhatter as their lead vocalist recorded their Doo-Wop version in November 1953. It hit #2 on the R&B charts in 1954, and made the Pop charts in 1955. The deep bass-tenor voice you hear on this version was Bill Pinkney, who was an early member of the group.
The Drifters version made the Hot 100 (the chart was introduced in 1958) twice alongside Crosby's version: in 1960 (Bing #26, Drifters #96) and in 1962 (Bing #38, Drifters, #88).

By 1954, this song was a holiday favorite, and that year Paramount Pictures released a movie called
White Christmas
to tie in with it. Crosby starred in the film along with Danny Kaye, and of course performed his famous song.
This won the Academy Award for Best Song of 1942.
Elvis Presley recorded this song in 1957 along with other holiday standards for his
Elvis' Christmas Album
. Most songwriters dream of having Elvis record their songs, but Irving Berlin spoke out against the King's cover, calling it a "profane parody of his cherished yuletide standard" and claiming that his staff was ordered to call radio stations and ask them not to play it. There's a chance that Berlin was simply drumming up publicity for his song, as there was nothing all that offensive about the Elvis version, and The Drifters had already done an R&B version.
Elvis doing Christmas songs did rub some people the wrong way, but much of the controversy was manufactured, helping
Elvis' Christmas Album
stay at #1 for an amazing five weeks in late 1957 and early 1958. The best publicity stunt may have been the one pulled off by the Portland, Oregon radio station KEX, which refused to play the song and sparked a debate among listeners as to the merits of Presley's Christmas output. Their disc jockey Al Priddy played the song on a Sunday, and was "fired" the next day, making national news - Priddy even played the phone call of his firing on the air before he left. The station continued to play up the incident, and brought Priddy back two weeks later, claiming that overwhelming listener support made them decide to bring him back.
This has the distinction of marking the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. As the North Vietnamese surrounded Saigon, an evacuation plan was put into effect to bring the remaining Americans to safety. Their cue to evacuate was when a radio announcement stating that the temperature in Saigon was "105 degrees and rising," and followed by the playing of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." That was the signal for the mad dash to the US Embassy where helicopters were waiting.
Phil Spector put this as the first track on his 1963 Christmas album
A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector
, which was unfortunately released on November 22, 1963 - the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Spector had
Darlene Love
sing this one, and he used many of his favorite Los Angeles session musicians on the album, including a then unknown Cher. The sessions were notoriously difficult, with Cher explaining, "Philip was just insane about the Christmas album. We just never left the studio. I mean, you went home to take a shower, you came back. We didn't go home for six weeks, we just were there. I had just turned 17, and I'm thinking, How are all these old people doing this? I am dying, I can hardly drag myself outta bed. How are these old guys doing it?"
Lady Gaga recorded a jazzy version for her 2011
A Very Gaga Holiday
EP. Her take includes an original verse in which she jokes, "O.K., I suppose it's not very white outside yet."
Many popular artists have recorded this song, but since 1963, only one has charted in the US: Michael Bolton. He make #73 with his 1992 rendition.
Andy Williams released this song on his very first Christmas album (there were eight total),
The Andy Williams Christmas Album
in 1963, which also debuted his own enduring holiday classic "
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
." His version of "White Christmas" also became the #1 selling Christmas single that year.
According to Mark Steyn's
A Song for the Season
, Berlin began writing this on January 8, 1942. The songwriter was in a hurry that Monday morning and shouted at his musical secretary, Helmy Kresa: "Grab your pen and take down this song. It's the best song I ever wrote. Hell, it's the best song anybody ever wrote."
Steyn notes that "White Christmas" owes much of its enduring popularity to World War II, specifically the attack on Pearl Harbor that led to US involvement, because the song adopted a significance beyond the reaches of Hollywood: "Had America entered the war in Europe in 1939, 'White Christmas' might have been just a hit-record from a so-so movie. Instead, 1942 was the American serviceman's first Christmas away, in the Pacific, under glorious sunny skies that only made home seem even more distant."
Christmas was a painful time for Irving Berlin and his second wife, Ellin Mackay, who found their infant son dead in his bassinet early Christmas morning in 1928. Although he was Jewish, Irving grew up celebrating the holiday by sneaking off to his neighbor's house to enjoy the festivities. His daughter, Mary Ellin, told Mark Steyn: "My father believed in the secular American Christmas. There's a lot of controversy about that, about whether there should be, apart from the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, a general festive celebration that anyone can join in with."
Irving Berlin came up with the melody for "White Christmas" on the set of
Top Hat
, a 1935 musical starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Berlin pitched the song to director Mark Sandrich for a future Astaire-Rogers film but Sandrich declined. But Astaire loved the song, which eventually went to his
Holiday Inn
costar Bing Crosby. (Incidentally, Sandrich also directed
Holiday Inn
Berlin had to write a song for each holiday for the entertainers to perform at the Holiday Inn. The Valentine's Day tune "Be Careful, It's My Heart," sung by Bing and Marjorie Reynolds, was expected to be the big hit, not "White Christmas." While it didn't reach the heights of "White Christmas," it was a modest hit for Frank Sinatra, who took it to #13 in 1942.

White Christmas has already topped Candle In The Wind , in fact it was always Number 1 - Check the Guinness Book Of World Records - Bing Crosby's version is still selling digital downloads as well , year in and year out . Of course - White Christmas - The Number One Song Of All Times- Was There Ever Any Doubt? No
James - Diamond Bar, Ca
If anyone is looking for a very different take on this song, look up "drifters white Christmas" on youtube. The Drifters changed the rhythm, added background doo-whops and gave White Christmas a completely different sound. I read once that Irving Berlin loved their version.
Jay - Centereach, Long Island, Ny
I believe ''White Christmas'' by Bing Crosby has indeed passed Candle In The Wind now, because ''White Christmas '' has continued to sell, even til this day, while Candle In The Wind sold for only a few weeks. Who can verify this?
Len - Greenville, Sc
On October 31st, 1942 "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby reached No.1 and stayed in the top spot for eleven consecutive weeks!!!
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
Many people actually consider "White Christmas" the best selling song of all time. It is listed as such in the Guinness Book of World Records. One problem is that sales records were not really kept in the '40s when the song was first released. The scanning system had not been developed yet. In those days the popularity of a song was judged by its sales of sheet music, not records. "White Christmas," also, has sold many copies in compilation albums in addition to sales of the single. Considering all these things, it is probably more popular than Elton John's tribute.
Robin - New York, Ny
The song was in fact sung by Bing Crosby and Martha Mears in the film (Mears dubbed for Marilyn Reynolds)
Sara - Silver Spring, Md
Teresa: re Spector's Wall of Sound. The very first recorded song featuring it was that all-time classic, Tina Turner's "River Deep Mountain High" (1966), and I went straight to the record store. What an American treasure she is. "Remember where you are - this is Thunderdome. Death is listening, and will take the first man who screams." -- Auntie Entity. I'm gonna marry her if she ever starts answering my letters. Well, her or Emmylou Harris. "Do I love you my oh my..."
Bing - Holiday Inn, Ct
MusicMama: The armed forces in WWII were segregated by skin color. I'm just saying. Had they not been, not all of them would've been making that "joke," now would they have been, hm?
Bing - Holiday Inn, Ct
Just a couple of historical notes: Elton John did originally write "Candle in the Wind" with Bernie Taupin as an ode to Marilyn Monroe, thus "Goodbye Norma Jean" (Baker). One of their best songs. "It seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to turn to when the rains set in. And I would have liked to've known you, but I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did." Bernie Taupin wrote some truly great lyrics. "Goodbye England's Rose" was the song they wrote (lyrics modified from Candle), to the same tune, which Sir Elton sang at Princess Diana's funeral, because they were very close long-time friends.
Bing - Holiday Inn, Ct
"The choir for the song White Christmas wore black face." -- Mark from Seattle *** With all due respect, you're completely mistaken. The minstrel number did not feature the song "White Christmas, and was not done in black-face. See http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uiws88x-fX0. The finale of "White Christmas" did not involve a chorus. See also http://www.moviehabit.com/reviews/whi_lj04.shtml for a good review with commentary on the minstrel number. By the way, the term "minstrel show" was sorely miscast in popular understanding by the black-face minstrel shows. "Minstrel" originally meant "a medieval entertainer who traveled from place to place, especially to sing and recite poetry; a lyric poet; a musician." Pity.
Bing - Holiday Inn, Ct
responses to comments:
Heather...I don't understand you're thinking
on White Xmas..What is your concept of a great song?
Music Mama-Ny Lol, pretty funny!
Charles of Bronxville-I agree that a lot of film
versions are better than the commercially re-cut ones.
this was true with some of Elvis' renditions, and also
Henry Mancini....
teresa.."the GREAt Wall of Sound? and not the Great Wall
of China?(teasing)lol
Bobbie-very humrous post, but you have a valid point!
Steve Dotstar - Los Angeles, Ca
what is America, without this song,I tell ya....
Steve Dotstar - Los Angeles, Ca
I think both "Candle in the Wind" and "White Christmas" are absolutely yecchy tunes.
Heather - Los Angeles, Ca
A great-uncle of mine who was in North Africa during WWII told me that some of his fellow-soldiers had their own version of this song: I'm Dreaming of a White Mistress.
Musicmama - New York, Ny
If you listen to the version in the film "Holiday Inn" you'll hear that it's slightly different from the released version recorded on March 19th of 1947. The film version is phrased a little differently and Bing's inflections are also somewhat more moving. IMHO the version in the film is the better of the two.
Charles - Bronxville, Ny
Is that Bing himself doing the whistling?
Mark - Lancaster, Oh
Think about the fact that at the time White Christmas was in production, young black man where dying for this country and freedom.. The choir for the song White Christmas wore black face. When I hear this song, I think of hypocrisy.
Mark Stevens, a very white guy
Mark - Seattle, Wa
The name of the famous motel chain came from the title of the movie, "Holiday Inn." And my understanding is that "White Christmas" was not only the most popular Christmas song of all time, but was in fact the most popular song of all time, period. I think it's since been displaced, but still.
Mark - Lancaster, Oh
Cristin, Candle In The Wind WAS originally written about Marilyn Monroe, but when Pincess Di died, John did a new version as a tribute to her, and that's the version that sold so much it surpassed White Christmas.
Fyodor - Denver, Co
You can find a version of Darlene Love on the Christmas cd "A Christmas gift for you from Phil Spector; it's very good, very Spector, with a great "Wall of Sound".
Teresa - Mechelen, Belgium
Kristi. I think they're refering to that specific version about Princess Diana, and how it out-sold both "Rock Around the Clo0ck" and this song.
Stefanie - Rock Hill, Sc
As pretty as this song is when the holidays come around I could just puke, after of hearing this song by redone by every Tom, Dick, and Back Street Boy. The recording industry should put a ban on recording this song to keep it from being ruined any farther.
Bobbie - Central, Nm
About a fact above. . . wasn't Candle in the Wind a tribute to Marilyn Monroe?? Hence "goodbye, Norma Jean. . ." It came way before Princess Di.
Cristin - Boston, Ma
I really love this Album by Bing Crosby. I grew up in Singapore in the 1950's and 1960's, and this is the ONE Christmas Album that went around the world with us (Literally) through the years!!!
I still have the Album, By The Way!!!
Rosalie - Newark, De
I didn't even know that there was a verse left out of the original song.
Stefanie Magura - Rock Hill, Sc

If you've been perusing beauty sites across the web lately, chances are you've heard about the newest mascara release from Lancôme – Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara, $25. Lancôme has an entire roster of mascaras with cult status, but their latest innovation promises to give volumized, extended lashes that'll make a doll jealous! So did Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara live up to its claims (BTW, I apologize in advance for my lack of under eye concealer in these pics, lol)?
Well, yes and no. It delivered on some, and on others…not so much. Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara definitely gave my lashes the crazy extended length it promises, but the length was only visible when looking down at my lashes or up at them. Never straight on. Unless you're tall enough to be drafted into the WNBA or short enough to shop at Baby Gap, the chances of someone seeing your lashes from these angles is highly unlikely.
I experienced some clumping and rather minimal volume with Hypnôse Doll Lashes, as well. One coat gave my lashes clean and precise definition (Yay!), but with no real volume (Boo.). So I added a second coat (as seen in the pics above), but I was suddenly in Clump City, population 1. The thin tip of the brush is great for getting into those hard to reach corners of your eyes, which I loved, but the thick cone of the brush didn't really help the volume/clump situation. Also, the rose scent of this (and all Lancôme mascaras) mascara should be mentioned. While some love it, you may want to think twice before using this if you're extremely sensitive to scent in your makeup.
The bottom line? If the you wear mascara primarily to lengthen your lashes and prefer a natural, one-coat look, then Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara may be just what you're looking for! If you're looking for volume and drama, and tend to wear multiple coats (like yours truly) then this may not be a match for you. For more info on Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara, head over to the Lancôme Facebook page. While you're there, make a Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara avatar of yourself. Mine is a little scary but, ironically, I love her lashes, LOL!
The 1st Doll Lash Look by Lancôme: a volumized, full lash fringe for a wide-eye look. Lancôme's most flirtatious mascara lifts, thickens and precisely defines even hard-to-reach corners and lower lashes beautifully.

Istanbul is that it is the only city in world that has a foot in two continents. Its old city is situated in Europe while it's more modern sections are located within Asia. These two very distinct parts of Istanbul are separated by the strait of Bosphorus. Due to its strategic location, Istanbul also served as an important centre of trade through the ages and the city continues to be an important center for finance and culture in Turkey until today.

1. The Blue Mosque is located in the main historical district of the city, an area called Sultanamet. This multi domed mosque is the prime exponent of Istanbul's Islamic past. Built during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, the Blue mosque welcomes hundreds of worshippers every day into its elaborately decorated interiors. The mosque is called the 'Blue mosque' because it is decorated with hundreds of blue and white tiles which are arranged in intricate and exquisite floral patterns.
2. Hagia Sophia, the ochre colored domed monument served as a church during the Christian Byzantine empire and then as a mosque during the Islamic Ottoman empire and is perhaps the best symbol of this exciting city which was the centre of three great empires. The interiors are adorned with elaborate Islamic calligraphic roundels as well as Christian mosaics which represent the religious contrast of this monument most effectively.
3. Topikapi Palace Museum is located on one of the hills that surround Istanbul. It once served as a residential palace of one of the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. The huge palace with its interconnecting courtyards, fountains, terraces, exquisitely designed rooms and elaborate gateways gives you an insight into the magnificently opulent lives of the fabulously wealthy Sultans of the Ottoman Empire.

Laminate on stairss
I posted a reply to a thread that was started in '03 in reference to putting laminate on stairs. If this post is redundant, my apolgies, I wasn't sure if anyone would read it.
I want to put laminate on stairs and am not sure how to deal with the rounded bullnose. Any/all suggestions would be appreciated.
Most manufaturers offer the bullnose trim for stairs to match the flooring print you might have purchased. I would venture to guess that you could use laminate throughout your entire downstairs for the same cost as the stairs themselves. Those extra little trim items are outrageously priced. I have seen trim costing much more than a case of the flooring itself many times. But it is one option.
Really?!?! That stinks. The last floor I put in (no stairs), I got the materials from fastfloors.com and was happy. It looks like alot has changed since then. I am looking at:
Manufacturer:ColumbiaSeries:Colonial Clic BeveledSKU No.:MRO102
$4.18 s/f
Any comments? I will have to price out the stair molding. Although I might be crazy, I think the stair run itself is rounded. The moldings loook like they need a square edge.
Thanks for the input.
If a squared edge is needed (I have not made it to my stairs yet) then use a jigsaw? I mean the stuff is going to last decades, what's the harm with cutting?
Nice color choice!

Is it the assiduous mastery of his or her instrument (thus explaining the otherwise bewildering popularity of Van Halen), or is it something more, something a little less calculated and concrete, like the ability to raise up the back of the neck's hairs with sheer emotional weight? Is it a studied textbook knowledge of time signatures and tempos, cadenzas and codas, or is it the ambition to create great art coupled with the capacity to pull it off? There are, it seems, a lot of people who think the former, given the rise and rise of Newton Faulkner, a young English singer-songwriter about whom the most interesting thing than can be said is that he has pretty impressive hair. (Even then, it says a lot about the stylistic inclinations and appeal of Faulkner's music that his label, Sony BMG, deliberately refrained from including any pictures of the guitarist, ginger dreadlocks and all, on his debut album's release for fear of scaring off the target audience.) For Faulkner might reasonably be termed a guitar virtuoso; his handling of his six-stringer is undeniably impressive, cluttered as it is with finger-picking, tapping and percussive hand slaps. Unfortunately, his songs are utter dross, the kind of flimsy, dishwater-dull, middle-of-the-road blantitudes that even Staind had the sense to instil with the odd catchy chorus.
Those looking for a quick clue as to the sound of Hand Built By Robots need look no further than his recent support slots below the Fray, Paolo Nutini, and James Morrison. Though Faulkner is generally more technically impressive than the above, it's the same sort of inoffensive stuff peddled by them that makes up his debut. Indeed, the chorus of recent single "Dream Catch Me" ain't a million miles away from that of the Fray's biggest hit "How To Save A Life" (and no, this is not a good thing). Yet while the terminally straight-faced Fray base their war of attrition with the listener's patience on their tedious melancholy, Faulkner's finds root in an altogether more upbeat attitude, something that manages to be just as irritating. There's a sort of self-conscious wackiness pervading over much of Hand Built, stretching from his lyrical subject matter to his vocal delivery. Newton, you see (or so says the press release), likes his songs to "carry a message" rather than just lamenting failed relationships or trials of depression. And what might that astute message be? "The perils of growing old with superpowers". Insightful.
Newton Faulkner
Hand Built By Robots
US: 29 Apr 2008
UK: 30 Jul 2007
But none of this matters a great deal, for Hand Built was essentially doomed from the moment Faulkner first opens his mouth. It's not that he's a bad singer. By all accounts, he's got a decent, smooth-sounding set of lungs. But it's how they're employed that's the problem, for the remarkably coiffured one has two vocal modes, each as unconvincing as each other. First, there's the throaty croon, long the staple of drearily voiced singers the world over: think Creed, think 3 Doors Down, think Chad Kroeger. But even worse are the verses of "To The Light" and "Gone In The Morning", conducted in a sort of horrendous, cringeworthy rap so ill-advised that it's a wonder even Faulkner's own mother didn't take him aside and tell him "Newton, you sound like an idiot".
Elsewhere, we have "Sitar-y Thing", a minute or so of inconsequential meanderings with the titular instrument, and which may as well have been called "Look! I can play another instrument too!" We have "U.F.O.", an oh-so-hilarious narrative of an extraterrestrial encounter ("It's beginning to take control/So you better watch out for that anal probe") that develops into an oh-so-perceptive critique of the failings of society ("They come in peace/We stay in war/We like to get drunk/And fight each other in bars"). And such is the banality of the record that it seems strangely inevitable when Faulkner becomes the 104th artist to add a few of his own coins to the Massive Attack "Teardrop" royalty fund by turning the plaintive electronic delicacy of the original into—you guessed it—a gentle, soulless finger-picked ballad. When Jose Gonzales (who, incidentally, also covered "Teardrop" not so long ago) made his name with a rendition of the Knife's "Heartbeats", he did so by stripping down and reinventing a boisterous dance-pop number as something few realised could be so affecting. With "Teardrop", Faulkner essentially achieves the opposite, stripping the original of its obvious beauty to render it unprecedentedly vacuous, Elizabeth Frazer's buttercup sigh replaced with the redheaded one's husky croon.
And if the insipidity of Hand Built needed further illustration, it's to be found in its commendable feat of making soggy piano ballad "Straight Towards The Sun" seem like breath of fresh air. In any other environment, of course, it would be nothing of the sort—play it back-to-back with any Radiohead song, for instance, and it'll be shown up for the unremarkable plodder that it is—but so persistent is the onslaught of dull acoustic meanderings that any change is a nice one.
Hand Built isn't, however, a complete loss. "It's just an observation I can't ignore/But people should smile more" declares Faulkner before scatting his way through "People Should Smile More"'s second verse. And you know what? I think I have been smiling more. Ever since Hand Built stopped playing. Funny, that.

you lucky dog! Tearing apart a boat is great fun.. and what a treasure trove of goodies you'll find.
Seriously.. I love doing demo work on boats. wear a respirator, though.. it's not manly at all, but neither is hacking up a lung

|That'll buff out....., not. It could be repaired but I doubt it's worth it.
|Ah!....nothing a little chewing gum wont fix.
Ok, The scrapping and salvaging has begun! Rather than sit around stewing and wondering about it I decided to at least start gutting the cabin. I think I will cut out a piece of the sole enough to see what kind of damage there is below.
As I worked this afternoon I kept seeing things that I needed for the MacGregor and came to the conclusion that I really haven't lost a boat but gained about a thousand dollars worth of parts which is really why I went to look at this boat in the first place, parts!
I will continue the salvage on my Seafarer refurbish thread if anyone is interested in watching the tear down. Thanks for all the input folks.
I'd scrap the boat. Cut the keel off for the lead content (you'll get your $300 back right there and then some), strip any hardware of value off the boat (spars, cushions, interior fittings, etc) and sell those, sell the trailer and outboard and apply the proceeds to your Macgregor.
Even if you repair it to use the boat do you honestly feel you'd be comfortable with the thought of "When will the keel fall off?" always in the back of your mind? If it were me it would ruin my joy on the water wondering "When?" while sailing.
Keels that move that aren't supposed to are never good things. I'd sooner troll the local yards looking for another SF22 hull that has been abandoned, make them an offer and make one good boat out of two than risk the loss of the keel at sea. You assume that even with your jacket on you'll get off safely. What if you're down below and she knocks flat as the keel heads for the bottom? You could easily be trapped or injured below in a hull heading for the bottom. Not to mention any potential costs if you need to remove the wreck afterwards.
Just not worth the risk to me unless you're really handy and feel confident in your repair. I was nervous just replacing keel nuts. Can't imagine doing the keel joint itself.
|Sell the trailer. Sell the outboard. Give the boat to someone who wants it as a yard ornament, read idiot.
Well if you do scrap the boat the Lead would be worth a nice penny.
Stringers, I guess can support the stress up or down if done right. Seems like allot work though.
I would think maybe lifting it enough to see the hull flex back and then reinforce the insides. Major structure is needed to reshape the bottom and secure the keel again. There's a company that makes fiberglass lumber, it's sold by Jamestown distributors. But, if you love the boat...
Thanks denise030. The problem is that it flexes inward when weight is on it and relaxes back into place with the boat jacked up and the weight removed from the fin. I think you have the right idea though. Perhaps installing a beefy spar would do the trick? I don't know.
John, thanks for the input. Its just very disappointing. I know what I will probably do but I haven't come to terms with it yet.
CapTim, Thank you for the reality check. Sounds like you've been there, done that. I don't think I want to go there.
Well, the price was pretty good.. you could probably sell the trailer for about that much and come out even.
For the boat.. man.. there's a lot to deal with. First, you are going to have to dry it out, and that's likely to take months. Some might suggest drilling a number of 1/8"-ish holes through the laminate to speed up the process. I might agree with them, given the amount of fiberglassing you are going to be doing anyway.
Step next is gong to be trying to find out how much water damage has been done. Clearly, the entire bottom is delaminated, as evidenced by the 2" 'sag' you described.
OK, this part is only half tongue-in-cheek. First, get a big sawsall. Maybe a nice chainsaw, even. Insert the saw at about the waterline, and cut horizontally around the boat, following the waterline until you return to the original spot. Remove the bottom half. Then build in a new one.
Of course, that's silly. But you'll be doing most of that same job, only in pieces. You'll grind the fiberglass away from the keel joint.. and not just the front of it. If the whole keel is dropping, then the whole keel is suspect. Then you'll have to replace any rotted coring you find, which will likely be significant.
To replace rotted core, here's the short version: cut/grind/peel the outer laminate layer back until you get to good core. grind out bad core. Replace with good core. That third step is a real pain in areas with compound bends (such as, for instance, keel joints and waterlines). Then fiberglass over the new core. Then barrier coat, then bottom paint. Some would suggest the use of gelcoat in there, between the fiberglass and barrier coat, and there are intelligent arguments both ways on that issue.
Now, there's the keel. Obviously you'll have to figure out where the water got. Most likely, the entire thing is delaminated. Now, maybe you can use some GitRot and then follow with a vaccum-bag resin treatment. But likely, there is a buildup of crud in there that will compromise the resin bond. Which means stripping off the existing glass, cleaning, and reglassing.
Or here's a third option... and probably the one I'd go with:
Just fix that big hole (grind, scarf, reglass). Tighten the keel bolts, maybe reinforce their backing plates on the boat. Put some barrier coat on the glass, and sail until the keel falls off. Sail on 'friendly' days, keep your jacket on, and know that if the keel falls off you'll need to drop sail in a hurry. I know a guy who sailed a long way without a keel. It's not wise, maybe, but it can be done. And it's better than both a) not having a boat while you fix your mac and b) spending three months and 8 grand fixing a $3000 dollar boat.
Oh, and when everything is said and done, sell that trailer for $300 so you can smile about not getting taken on the price

I recently asked readers to suggest options for a fellow reader who was looking for a lightweight yet durable wheeled bag. As usual, the Practical Hacks community came through! One small downside: it's virtually impossible to include pictures in comments, so the reader – any reader – is required to do a lot of further web searching if interested in any of the suggested options. With that in mind, I thought I'd follow up with a tour of 10 suggested bags, with some key data, pictures, and links. Let's get started…
1. Landor & Hawa Sub-0-G
At a mere 4.8 pounds, this is the lightweight of the bunch. The Sub-0-G is basically a lightweight frame (made with "aircraft grade fiberglass element" which supports the bag's synthetic fabric.
- Weight: 4.8 pounds
- Dimensions: 20.5″ x 14.2″ x 7.8″
- Capacity: 2759 cu in
- Materials: fiberglass frame; synthetic fabric; aluminum handles
- Special Features: 2 outside pockets; inner pockets for socks, etc.; non-locking, telescoping handle
- Warranty: 10 Year
- Price: $80 – $100
- Link: $79.95 @ DiscountLuggage.com
2. TravelPro Platinum 5 19″ Roller
Let's get one important fact out of the way up front: this bag is discontinued. Close-out/old stock models are still available, and if you think you're interested, get one now. Reader Till will comment, I'm sure, but TravelPro makes some great products, and many diehard travelers think this is one of their best.
- Weight: 9.4 pounds
- Dimensions: 19″ x 14″ x 9″
- Capacity: ~2350 cu in
- Materials: 1050 denier DuraGuard™ ballistic nylon with full grain leather trim
- Special Features: TSA approved lock; unique handle design; guarded wheels; full length foot; water resistant lining
- Warranty: Lifetime
- Price: ~$150 to $200
- Link: $149.90 @ LuggageFactory.com
3. Tumi Lightweight International Carry-On
Tumi quality doesn't come cheap. The current "Alpha" International Carry-On typically sells for $495, but if you hunt around a bit, you can find it selling – in discontinued colors – for mid $300's.
- Weight: 7 pounds
- Dimensions: 20¾" x 15½" x 8¼"
- Capacity: ~2300 cu in
- Materials: FXT Ballistic nylon
- Special Features: Guarded wheels, twin internal compression straps, outside & inside organizer pockets
- Warranty: Lifetime
- Link: $369 in brown @ Tumi website; $369 in black/red @ LuggageOnline.com
4. Eagle Creek Hovercraft Duffel 22
The Hovercraft is exactly what its name implies: a mid sized wheeled duffel that's reasonably light, at 6½ pounds. The HC's design isn't characterized by a lot of frills, but it's a well made bag backed by an outstanding "No Matter What" Damage Repair Policy.
- Weight: 6 lbs 8 oz
- Dimensions: 14 x 22 x 9.5 in
- Capacity: 2900 cu in
- Materials: 420D Double Diamond Helix™, 1260D Helix™ Ballistic
- Special Features: 3 grab handles; "Laundry Chute" front pocket; front "bumper" to protect bag; lockable zippers
- Warranty: Lifetime repair policy
- Link: Lists for $225; $174.50 @ Suitcase.com
5. Patagonia MLC Wheelie
We've reviewed a couple of different iterations of the MLC on Practical Hacks before, so I don't have much to add here. What separates this bag from the others on this list is the fact that it has backpack straps as well as wheels. In terms of capacity, it's smaller than many of the other bags on the list; unfortunately, it bears the full sized Patagonia price tag.
- Weight: 6 lbs 11 oz
- Dimensions: 22″ x 14″ x 9″
- Capacity: 1830 cu in
- Materials: 1,200-denier recycled polyester
- Special Features: backpack straps; floating mesh sleeve
- Warranty: Lifetime
- Link: $220 @ Patagonia
6. Hedgren Great American Original 47cm Trolley Duffel
This Hedgren duffel reminds me of the Club Glove duffel I used for years. It's basically a heavy duty duffel equipped with a telescoping handle and polymer reinforcements wherever needed. Unfortunately, not a lot of detail is available, including on the Hedgren website. Available in Australia.
- Weight: N/A
- Dimensions: 10.8″ x 10.4″ x 20.1″
- Capacity: ~2250 cu in
- Materials: N/A
- Special Features: Guarded wheels; external pocket for travel documents; full length foot
- Warranty: 2 Years
- Link: $239AU @ BagWorld.com.au
7. Tutto Regulation Carry-On
The Tutto Regulation Carry-On is certainly one of the most unusual bags in this review. The bag has four wheels, a folding (vs. telescoping) handle, and actually folds up for storage! I'll let reader RichardB, who recommended the Tutto, comment on this unique bag:
"It's a 4 wheel bag with ballistic nylon suspended from a polycarbonate frame. It's easy on the back, wrist, etc. It has 2 basic compartments – the main one is much like a regular rolling bag. There is also a garment compartment on the side opposite the main compartment – It can hold a carefully folded sports jacket or suite.
I have had one for 15 years and it has been taken all around the world. It will fit in overhead bins on full size planes – not on a regional jet; however it does fit under most seats unless there is an entertainment box there. I also pull it up and down stairs without picking it up unless I am in a rush."
8. Eagle Creek Ramble 22
Another wheeled duffel, the Ramble appears somewhat diminutive in most of the pictures of it on the web, but it offers a full 3539 cubic inches of capacity. Of course the clue to its capacity is in its name – "22" of course refers to the bag's length. Its dimensions put it right at the carry-on limit for domestic airlines. Should you go overboard on packing, the twin compression straps will help to keep you under the limit.
- Weight: 7 lbs 10 oz
- Dimensions: 14 x 22 x 9 in
- Capacity: 3539 cu in
- Materials: 500Dx420D neous Check, 420D Helix Oxford, 915 HP cordura, Bi-Tech
- Special Features: Interior & exterior compression straps; waterproof Bi-Tech bottom; 2 way lockable zippers
- Warranty: Lifetime
- Link: sells for $200 everywhere; $200 @ REI.com
9. Antler Laser Luggage 51cm Hardside Suitcase
Such is the dominance of soft sided luggage that it's taken us all the way to number 9 to reach a carry-on with rigid walls. Antler is a UK company that makes high quality luggage; as such, you may only be able to purchase this bag in the UK and Australia.
With the polycarbonate sides, exterior pockets of course disappear. The bag features one large compartment with tie down straps, and a zippered mesh compartment on the top lid.
- Weight: 5.9 lbs
- Dimensions: 20½" x 15″ x 9.1″
- Capacity: ~2750 cu in
- Materials: Polycarbonate ABS
- Special Features: Adjustable height handle; pull-out ID panel on rear; built-in combination lock (no mention of TSA)
- Warranty: 7 Years
- Link: $127.50AU @ BagWorld.com.au
10. Briggs & Riley 20″ Transcend Carry-On Upright
Handsome, functional, and conservative, Briggs & Riley bags have garnered a wonderful reputation with travelers since the company's founding in 1993, no doubt in part due to its outstanding warranty.
The 20″ Transcend Upright is a great choice if you don't want or need to carry a separate "business bag" for your laptop and business papers. Small enough for overheads, it's large enough for week long trips.
- Weight: 8.7 lbs
- Dimensions: 20 x 14 x 8.5 in.
- Capacity: ~2350 cu in
- Materials: Cordura and Tuff-Lite
- Special Features: "Outsider" handle system for flat packing surface inside; hide-away cargo net on bag's face for storing a jacket or similar items; 3 grab handles; several internal storage pockets
- Warranty: Lifetime repair warranty
- Link: $235 @ eBags.com
Now it's your turn! Having seen these 10 bags presented here, does one stand out as particularly appealing? Perhaps the super lightweight, incredibly inexpensive Sub-0-G? The funky Tutto? The soon-t0-disappear Plat5? Or perhaps the more conservative, uber quality Tumi or Briggs & Riley bags?? I'd love to know what your reaction is, seeing all these bags in one post. If one is particularly appealing to you, please let us know which by commenting!
In a bit of a departure for the blog, I'll be writing detailed reviews of a couple of wheelies in the next several weeks. Neither of them appears on this list, by the way. Both are unique in their own right, and will provide an interesting contrast to not only the soft sided bags we reviewed in 2009, but to the wheelies presented here. Look for those reviews to appear here in the next 3 weeks or so.

Just to add to the description of number 9 Kevin,
the lock is not a TSA lock. However if you carry on all the time this should not worry people. Then again if you carry on all the time is a lock necessary?? It does give me a little more confidence in security outside the plane though.
The bag is of poly carbonate and is still some what flexible in the larger areas.
What about the 21″ Black American Tourister with 4 spinner wheels for $59 at Walmart?
Anyone tried this 'cheaper' brand?
For the price seems Ok.
Somehow I missed this one the first time around. I couldn't recommend the Plat5 series highly enough. I think it is one of the best rollaboards ever made, from the inventor of the concept. I use the 22″ model regularly and it is my go-to bag for business trips. I should have bought two. Seriously. Read my review on Obow.
It is also important to note that the Plat5 warranty includes repair or replacement for life even due to airline damage. This is rare and worth real money if you do need to check the bag. For a bag that is only ever in your direct possession it matters less.
The Tutto is a strange beast. I wonder if that makes sense. It's a bit like the Zuca Proroller, which I think makes no sense at all. Basically the Tutto is a soft bag with an exoskeleton. At that point, why not simply use a soft bag with a luggage cart? Lighter even and more versatile.

You know, I have been trying like mad to find the 22″ Plat5, with zero luck. the 20″ would be pushing it for me, since I am a 46L in the shoulders, and that would seriously cramp a suit or sportcoat (assuming I am not able to wear it on the plane.
I am now strongly considering that Eagle Creek Hovercraft HC2 Duffel in black
Good thing I am not in a hurry.
I'd add 2 more to the list that compare with the MLC's size
REI Stratocruiser Wheeled Luggage – 18″:
It has soft sides but a more rigid top so you can pop something heavier on top. I bought one to fill in for a 3-4 day trip + laptop/purse/camera personal bag niche where the 22″ is just too big and I'd need to stand around in (security) lines, but light enough to lift over my head. I find the shoulder bags are tiring to stand around in.
Muji Small Bellow
I called and was told that it weighs about 4-5 lbs, but I don't have one so can't verify for myself. Still, I've seen it and it is pretty light.
If you're carrying some heavy items or want to get a small wheelie, both are nice. They won't fit under most seats.
Here's another that the US muji site just started carrying http://www.muji.us/store/bag/b.....black.html but I'm not fond of how the opening is done.

Memos show cigarette firms pressured manufacturers of nicotine gums and patches to mute their message.
Cigarette makers and the drug firms that market nicotine gum and patches would seem to be natural enemies, at war in a multibillion-dollar market of people hooked on nicotine.
Yet a peaceful coexistence has reigned between them since nicotine replacement products were introduced in the 1980s to help smokers kick the habit.
The quit-smoking aids are widely advertised, and in recent years have joined such remedies as Advil, Tums and Robitussin on a list of the country's top-selling over-the-counter medicines. Yet they are promoted in a manner certain to minimize conflict with cigarette manufacturers.Read more: http://articles.latimes.com/1999/feb/14/news/mn-8150

"Killer B™ is so Realistic and Mobile that you will have gobblers strutting in your lap!"
Last spring we sent B-Mobile™ to a plastic surgeon and what came back was Killer B™. We updated the paint scheme to bring out more iridescent colors in the body and more red in his head. We gave him glass eyes from a taxidermist that makes him so realistic that it looks like he is staring at you. We created a tail fan that can move from full strut to ¾ strut to lying flat. We even updated his posture to make him look more like a strutting gobbler.
Killer B™ is made from the same proprietary formula that we have all come to love with B-Mobile™. You can also roll up Killer B™ for easy carry in your vest. This is the most realistic decoy on the market and the one you will find in all of the Primos® Video Team members' vests when they go into the field.
B-Mobile™ brought them in close. Killer B™ will have them strutting in your lap!

Ramblings on three originally Dutch TR7's (a '76 FHC, an 80's DHC and an '81 Sprint powered FHC), including the work done to them and their (ab)use all over Europe. With some of my other passions thrown in from time to time ...

Great! Blogger lost all my previous message...I'll try to write the same info :((
Hi Beans! First of all, thanks for such a great blog with quality pics and information. You are a referral for lot of us, TR7 owners! :)
I've read your posts (this one and others) regarding the water pump. I'm trying now to remove mine, but it's sooo hard to do I've started to be afraid of breaking something.
I've removed the LH Bolt, andafter that, all I have read in manual is to pull out the pump from the block, that's all.
In fact, looking at thes DIY tool from Rimmer (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-RB7009) I conclude it's a LH bolt welded to a ring to pull out and lift the pump, isn't it?
But it's so strong attached to the block I'ma afraid to break something.
The cover itself was very hard to remove, I think all it's due 31 years without opening, and rust, and so on...
I just wanted to ask you if all I have to do now is lift the pump up, pulling from it, may be half mounting the LH Bolt to pull from it...
I don't know why it's so hard to lift it up, if its not attached to anything.
Maybe if I construct some tool similar the one you used for the brass housing...but attached to the pump in the place the LH should be?
Thanks for your blog again and all the shared experience. And great cars those you have in such a perfect condition.
If you can help me with this, thanks in advance! I'll ask for you later regarding the dismantling of the pump...because I've read here (http://www.oocities.org/blu_jaguar/triumph/cooling.html) I can´t do it without a press or I can damage the impeller...
Keep in touch, bye!!:)

Hi Jose,
For the DIY approach for removing the pump there are two options;
Use a spanner and try to undo the LH bolt. Sometimes the pump will come out (with or without brass cage).
If it doesn't I have a rather simple tool that can be bolted to the pump. It's nothing more than a short tube with a plate welded to the bottom. This is bolted to the pump (using the original bolt) and used to lever the pump out. Either by hand or by using tyre levers (take care not to damage the sealing surface of the engine block).
Good luck.

Hi Beans! Thank you so much for you response ;)
Yes, I did know there are two options. Mine is of course the second one :(
My main doubt was about if the pump is somehow "attached", but I think it's just very hard to pull out, as you tell me your solution. Great approach, thank you so much! I didn't write to you again to tell I've made some kind of homemade slide hammer. Due to I haven't tested it yet, I did not tell you my experience with it.
It's basically a medium long pipe with threaded "tops", and a wider pipe around (the mass of the slide hammer). I have to attach the bolt to one of the tops and let's see what happens, but I think in my car, the pump is really really "glued" to the block. :)
Thanks, keep on that great blog!

Hi Beans,
Where do you buy the best parts for a waterpump?
I have to revise my 12-vane waterpump. It is leaking from the slot in the engineblock.
Thank you in advance.

Hi George,
Water pump repair kits are available through the usual TR7 specialists in the UK;
S&S Preparations;
Revington TR;
Links under TR7 & Sprint Parts section.
You can also try Nico Baas in the Netherlands.

Hi again Beans!
Keep reading your blog, hehe.
I finally removed the water pump, and I was refitting it, by parts in the block, not as a whole, and a doubt arose, and I think you can help me with that.
The water seal, the graphite one I think...well, this one :)
it goes just right "over" the brass cage, isn't it? i mean, it does not goes "inside" the brass cage...
When I got the brass cage, the shaft with oil whaser, baring, etc, the last part is this sea l with an inner spring. I tried to stuck it into the brass, as I thought it was rubber, and flexible, but I can´t as there is metal inside. I think it goes just over ir, then the impeller with the LH bolt, and it fits well, but Im not sure as I did not assemble the pump before fitting, so I though you could help me with this.
Thanks again for all your work!! ;)

Hi José,
When you look at the post from the 9th of January 2008 you can see how the upper (water)seal should be fitted. The wider part should be facing down towards the brass cage. You have to press in the seal till the collar firmly touches the brass cage. After that fit the impellor.
ps. in the picture on the Rimmers site the seal is upside down.
And make sure that before all else the oil seal is pressed firmly into the brass cage.

- Jose Paz said...
Hi Beans, thanks for your fast response. :)
Yes, I know the position it goes over the brass cage, a noted it down when disassembling the pump and thanks to your pictures and the water pump assembly diagram.
I was not sure about it goes over the brass, of course firmly pressed as you state, or inside it.
So thank you for your answer, it helps a lot. In fact, I was thinking about it, it should not go inside the brass cage, stuck into it, because it wont let the shaft spin rightly, it is not a bearing (which it does go put into the brass cage, but let the shaft spin, of course it's a bearing :) )
So thanks for your help. I'll just put the seal over the brass, against it, and done! :)
Thanks, have a great summer!! :D
