basement window replacement
I am looking at replacing two old wooden windows in my basement with new vinyl sliders. I have a poured basement wall with a 1 1/2 inch wood frame and then the wood window. I am going to need to get some custom windows which aren't to bad in price. My question is should i rip all the wood out even the frame and anchor the new window right to the concrete wall or should i leave the frame in or replace the frame with another wood one and mount the new window to the wood frame. Hopefully this makes sense. I guess i would like to rip all the wood out so i don't have to deal with it anymore and just have the new vinyl windows. Thanks for any advice on this.
When I do basement windows, I remove the interior brick mould which is the 1-1/2" wide trim piece nailed to the jambs. this is on the interior and exterior of the window. then measure the width of the sill from concrete to concrete. and the height of the side jamb this will be the size of your new window minus 1/8" on both measurements.
So what you have left is the exterior brick moulds, nothing else. sill ,top and side jambs are all removed. now install your window from the inside pushing it outwards. I go to the exterior of the window and center it in the opening of the exterior moulding, then shim it. the bottom of the window should be tight against the sloped cement apron,there should be no gap at this point. I then drill some pilot holes into the exterior moulding for some self tapping screws which I install into the molding and in the window flange.Two on each side and three on the top. I then cover brick mould with alum.trim and caulk.
for the inside I rip an extension jamb out of some pine then screw that to the sides of the face of the window frame. (jamb width is usually 2")
I then blow out any loose debris from around the inside of the jamb and concrete with compressed air. then I get some foam insulation that comes in a can and spray it all around the voids between the new window and the concrete. Hint push the spray tube in all the way to seal any leaks, no voids. what this will do is seal the window from drafts and rain, it will also fasten the new window to the concrete by the foam. once filled take some 2-1/2" wide casing and case out around the inside of the window, the casing should cover the concrete wall. By doing it this way you are sure to keep the same glass area as you had in the beginning. If you use the old frames your cutting down on the size of the opening.
I find the foam insulation in a can to be a very good water proof adhesive for this purpose, the insulation must state that it is a closed foam insulation, so it won't absorb water. Good luck Bob
Thanks bob. Is there anything wrong with removing the old jamb on the outside and just using white caulk there and making the extention jamb on the inside bigger. I think it would be easier and look better from the outside to do it this way. Then spray foam like you siad from the inside. Thanks again
If you remove the wood brick mould from the outside what is going to hold the window in place. the exterior trim should already be locked in place from the concrete that was poured around it when the unit was installed in the forum. I leave them unless they are rotted, then I replace them with something I rip out of Aztec. Plus it needs to be there to keep the foam from pushing outside. BOB

This blog series addresses what sets us apart as a premier, white-glove SharePoint Hosting service. Our goal is to highlight Fpweb.net's strengths and help you make an informed decision for your hosting needs. Also, check out Part One: Fpweb.net's Customer Care or Part Two: Fpweb.net's Serious Security.
Unleash Your SharePoint Cloud Performance
Whether it's related to cars, computers or cleaning supplies, fast performance is critical. You need your SharePoint Hosting environment at top speed with the fastest available internet connections and upload speeds. So that's how we designed the Fpweb.net SharePoint Cloud.
High Performance Data Centers
Our strategically placed data centers rest on massive internet hubs in dual utility power grid locations that double as ideal geographic locations. The result is a SharePoint Cloud that's faster than any in-house connection. This enterprise grade system helps us ensure a fast, secure and redundant network optimized for SharePoint to our customers all over the world.
High Performance Network
Fpweb.net's network is comprised of a fully meshed configuration of state-of-the-art networking equipment from Cisco. The core of our network is fully redundant – for every switch or router, there's at least one hot spare. The network is connected to multiple Tier 1 internet providers to minimize the distance to the end user and to build redundancy. And by always ensuring our network is below 50% total utilization, peak SharePoint network performance is available during SharePoint traffic spikes.
High Performance Connections
We supply two diverse network connections from two separate core switches from our redundant core. While only one connection is used to route traffic, the second is a hot standby circuit ready to route traffic if needed. The instantaneous change to the hot standby circuit happens without any adjustments to the network configuration.
High Performance Support
Our certified engineers proactively monitor our network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also use an external third party to monitor from an offsite location 24/7. This dual monitor approach ensures that our network performs at full power while minimizing network problems. We display our trust in our network performance with the 100% network uptime guarantee in our industry-leading SLA.
Performs Better than On-Premises
If you thought on-premises servers could provide less lag time and a faster connection, think again. Fpweb.net's SharePoint Cloud actually performs as fast and, in most cases, faster than tested infrastructures.
Important network considerations that are often overlooked:
What about SharePoint for Internet Sites (FIS)?
SharePoint for Internet Sites requires a global reach that in-house environments can rarely match. Fpweb.net's Data Centers are located in geographically centralized locations to ensure faster global performance.
Is your SQL Server optimized for a faster response time?
Your on-premises SharePoint program mainly deals with content that is stored in a SQL database. SharePoint runs on top of this and typically means that your SQL database is powering more than just SharePoint. Your Fpweb.net SharePoint Cloud comes with dedicated SharePoint experts who can configure your SQL to match your SharePoint environment, greatly enhancing your network performance and response time.
What about your remote or traveling employees?
Often businesses have de-centralized teams that must collaborate together, and sometimes employees just work from home. The SharePoint Cloud performs better than in-house thanks to our Hub spot connection that maximizes internet speed, improves performance and lessens latency for remote users.
With top speeds and high availability, Fpweb.net's SharePoint Cloud sets the standard in performance.

There was a temptation as Jolet's models passed by to call out and ask for them to just stop for a minute. That temptation to halt the VAMFF show mid-walk didn't well up out of any fault of the models, though, but rather from pure curiosity. So detailed did Jolet's cityscape prints appear that you couldn't help but want to take a closer look. You could imagine that amongst the tiled rooftops and paved streets in this arial view that you might spot some easter egg detail: a face peering through a window or a little man out walking his dog. I won't know until I do get the chance to take a microscope to one of Jolet's dresses, but one imagines that, either way, the same curious response will overwhelm passers by in the street.
The rest of Jolet's autumn / winter offering leaned to the block coloured side, with minimal leather pieces proving best when as an accompaniment to the busy prints. And, it must be said, the printed pieces were the stand-out.
You can see all of the Jolet autumn (fall) / winter 2012 runway collection by clicking on a thumbnail on the left. From there you can browse through each of the pictures from the fashion show.

In-wall Speakers advice
Greetings , I have a few general questions about in-wall designs :
1. Do they actually need a box and then go inside the wall or they come only with the baffle ?
2. are there any good 2-way designs available that i can build myself ?
3. If i build a gypsum wall , Is it strong enough to hold them ?
And another thing , If i decide to go with a regular 2-way design from madisound or something ... and actually stick it inside a wall , do I need to modify the crossover because in a way the baffle size changes ?

In 2002, UAB goalkeeper Clint Baumstark was selected to the U-20 U.S. National Team, becoming the first-ever UAB goalkeeper to be selected to the National Team. Baumstark then signed a contract with Major League Soccer to become the second goalkeeper under Giffard, and fourth player from UAB, to sign with the MLS.
In 2001, Baumstark set a school-record with nine shutouts and was named the C-USA Freshman of the Year. In 2000, Giffard coached David Clemente who went on to set the school record for goals against average in a season and career.
Giffard came to the Blazers from Westminister College in Fulton, Mo., where he was an assistant coach. Before working at Westminister, Giffard was an assistant coach at his alma mater MacMurray College in Illinois. As a goalkeeper at MacMurray, Giffard led the team to the conference championship in 1997. He holds the school record for saves in a game with 40 in a 1-1 tie against eventual national champion Wheaton College.
He also played two years at Forest Park Community College in St. Louis, Mo, helping them to a third place national finish in 1995.
A nationally renowned goalkeeping coach, Giffard was the state Olympic Development Program Goalkeeper director for the state of Missouri. He also holds his United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "B" license and his NSCAA Advanced National diploma.
Giffard received his Master's degree in Exercise Physiology from UAB in 2003. He and his wife, Julie, live in Homewood.

ARM, the firm behind the processors in many smartphones, has announced that it has signed a new licensing agreement with Microsoft, giving the software company full access to ARM's chip architecture.
While Windows CE, Zune and Windows Phone handsets have all been designed to run on ARM processors, this deal gives Microsoft complete access to ARM's chip technology.
"This is an architectural license," ARM's executive vice president of marketing Ian Drew told TrustedReviews. "We work with various companies… but this is somewhat different. It's a fairly rare thing that happens. This gives Microsoft not just access to our cores, but the recipe to the instruction set as well."
Three other companies have licenses to ARM's architecture, Infineon, Qualcomm and Marvell and all produce chips themselves. However, Drew would not be drawn on what he thought Microsoft's plans were for the deal.
"What they are going to do with it is really up to them, but this really validates our business model. We're an IP licensing company and we're excited by the deal."
Drew could not comment on the timelines of the deal saying the terms of the deal were confidential and Microsoft had not responded to a request for comment on the deal at the time of publication.
Some analysts have suggested that Microsoft may now be able to optimise Windows to run on the ARM architecture, leading to Windows based netbooks and better performing tablets to compete with the iPad.
Would you like to see a Windows based ARM netbook? Is Microsoft concerned that Intel Atom based tablets won't be able to achieve the right combination of performance and battery life? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Model: Cornwall Category: Speakers Suggested Retail Price: $1800 Description: Three-way Speaker Manufacturer URL: Klipsch
Review by Kristian on April 27, 2010 at 10:14:55
IP Address: 22.214.171.124
Add Your Review
for the CornwallThis is an impression of Klipsch Cornwall IIIs.
I have played around with Hi-Fi for more than 30 years, and worked at a high-end dealer many years ago where we used to sell Klipsch. I've owned ribbon planars, dynamics of all types, and ATC actives, and heard many other things in between, so I have a keen sense of what's up and down.
I decided to hear these classic American speakers due to a stellar write-up/measurement test by an engineer nd at Stereoplay at the links below. Some of my favorite loudspeakers are/have been: Active ATCs, KEF Reference 105/3, Reference 2 and 3, Reference 3As of all sorts, Spendor SP1/2, SP100, Magnepan 20.1, Quad 2805, B&W 802D.
Cornwalls are an American audio icon. The originals were designed in 1959 and the latest version are easily comparable to the above speakers. They're 3-way, with horn loaded mid & tweeter and a direct radiating 15" driver. A big, old, out of style, anti-audiophile, but very fine loudspeaker. Luckily, a local dealer displays all Klipsch Heritage products. I listened to all of them last Saturday.
It's important to recall audiophiles' typically disdainful opinion of Klipsch Heritage speakers--something one would never be seen listening to, and particularly not own as that would impugn "audiophile" credibility. They obviously aren't any good as everyone knows without having heard them. I was in that camp, too. I'm not really an audiophile as I don't "believe" in pebbles, clocks, expensive cables, and other such stuff (been around too long).
The speakers were lined up in the delightful little mess of an audio store that is Simply Stereo of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. They are built beautifully, were set up suboptimally and run off fine electronics, Cambridge 840 Azur separates, through a couple of miles of regular wires, cheap patch cords, and an '80s speaker switcher.
The first notes from Monk's "Bemsha Swing" rang out, and the room filled with pin-sharp, fast, immediate, tonally natural, pure, slightly midrange oriented sound. You could *clearly* hear each of Monk's hits on the keys with impact, emphasizing that the piano is a persussive instrument. I was gobsmacked. For me, it was like a car enthusiast rediscovering the pleasures of pure, tactile driving when trying a 1973 Porsche 911 2.7RS after driving modern, hyper-fast and sticky sports cars that do everything perfectly. Sure, the old 911 won't stick as hard around corners; sure it's not as fast; no cupholders or airbags; sure it's not as economical; but it gives you a more tactile, seat-of-the-pants driving experience, with better smells, sound, feel, and fun than a modern 911, and you don't have to go nearly as fast to have maximal fun. Like Hi-Fi, modern cars are so focused on N-th degree performance that they often leave out the tactile experience of driving; modern Hi-Fi is so focused on the highest highs and lowest bass (where only about 20% of the music is) that whether the end result sounds like music is forgotten.
The bass was lightning fast, with smooth, extended but sweet highs, and the absence of any horn coloration or the slightest cupped sound. I did find that to exist in both the La Scala IIs and Klipschorns, the Cornwalls being smoother and better integrated, with none of the mid-bassy honk or time delay caused by horn-loaded bass/mid-bass. Remember, for those of you who consider this important, that Stereophile had La Scala IIs ranked in class A--and I'm quite sure Cornwall IIIs are better.
Playing Maria Callas on the Cornwalls gave me one of the most intense listening experiences I've *ever* had--Callas on *those* speakers on *that* day may be the most emotive sound I've *ever* heard. It was fantastic. She was present, projected into the room in 3D, a living, breathing Diva with her quirkily colored, gorgeous soprano. The Clash were there, a huge sound with massive punch and dynamics, every drum whack present, every touch of guitar strings laid bare, in the most natural, live-sounding manner.
Classical fared just as well, with Rubinstein playing Brahms on a concert grand in the room without truncating dynamics, and Yo-Yo Ma's cello sounding glorious on Bach's Cello Sonatas--you'd swear you could hear rosin coming off the bow. The same with Joshua Bell's violin on Voice of the Violin--if there's any hint of nasality or horn coloration, violin *will* bring it out. There was none.
The common denominator is the "live" quality of the sound which I haven't heard since I sold similar Klipsch speakers 20 years ago. There is a freedom from dynamic limitations, a feeling that the speakers are not limiting whatever dynamics are on the medium, something that is nearly always present on most speakers, planars in particular. It made me think that "audiophile" speaker design has forgotten a basic principle from the golden age of Hi-Fi, the importance of trying to capture the dynamics of live sound as best as possible with low distortion, in pursuing ever more top-end detail and stygian bass, which usually just causes problems in most rooms anyway.
There were modern "audiophile" Klipsch RF-83s right next to the Cornwalls, and they sounded sucked out in the midrange, lacking the presence, vividness, and live quality of the Cornwalls, but with objectively more extended highs and bass, making them sound artificial. That detail is an artifact of close-miked recording and audiophile's obsession with hearing everything breathed into the mike; that detail doesn't exist in the real world as it is quickly killed off by the surroundings and distance from the performers to the audience.
In the review below, note the amazingly low distortion and relatively flat in-room FR.
I am not alone in my sentiments. The German magazine Stereoplay ranked them "Absolute Spitzenklasse" (absolute top class)--as high as it gets, and ahead of many luminous modern speakers: http://www.stereoplay.de/Testbericht/Klipsch-Cornwall-III_1504981.html
For another review: http://sites.google.com/site/mitjaborko/audiopage3
So, if you can--give them a listen. They're stupendous.
Product Weakness: Big and boxy, they are old-school speakers slightly focused on the midrange, but only to the extent they sound natural in the sense of live in a concert hall; not the deepest bass. Product Strengths: Live, impactful, fast, sweet sound--no harshness or expected horn colorations; smoother, more even response than La Scala IIs and Klipschorns. Super fast, tuneful bass.Associated Equipment for this Review:

Well, here's the sign:
I'm reading that as "BICYCLES ALLOWED USE OF FULL LANE CVC 21202"
Now here's what that section of the California Vehicle Code actually says:
"V C Section 21202 Operation on Roadway
21202. (a) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at that time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except under any of the following situations…"
That's the rule.
There are exceptions of course – see them below.
But you don't want the exception to swallow the rule, right?
Oh, what's that, you do? Oh, OK. Well, that would explain all the T-shirts, but you're celebrating the wrong CVC section. What you're looking for is CVC 21200, actually.
And actually, what 21202 does is take away your right to use the whole lane.
Now of course, in the opinion of some, all lanes are "substandard width lanes," so if that's the case, one of the exceptions listed below will "swallow the rule" and, therefore, 21202 doesn't mean anything.
But IRL, the rule means something, just saying.
Oh what's that, you've been told different? Well, people tell you different because of their ideology. Hey, would you prefer to hear from a bicycle advocate who's not an ideologue? Well, here you go:
"Ride to the Right, But Within Limits – When riding slower than the normal speed of traffic, you are required to ride as far right as "practicable" (meaning safe). You are not required to ride as far right as possible, which may not be safe. You are allowed, but not required, to ride on the shoulder. CVC 21202, CVC 21650, CVC 21650.1 9″
Hey, how would that look as a T-shirt? Not so hot, really. It would sound like a lecture, you know, like we all need to keep to the right 'n stuff.
But it's the Truth, like it or lump it.
"(1) When overtaking and passing another bicycle or vehicle proceeding in the same direction.
(2) When preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
(3) When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions (including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards, or substandard width lanes) that make it unsafe to continue along the right-hand curb or edge, subject to the provisions of Section 21656. For purposes of this section, a "substandard width lane" is a lane that is too narrow for a bicycle and a vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.
(4) When approaching a place where a right turn is authorized.
(b) Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway of a highway, which highway carries traffic in one direction only and has two or more marked traffic lanes, may ride as near the left-hand curb or edge of that roadway as practicable.
Amended Sec. 4, Ch. 674, Stats. 1996. Effective January 1, 1997.

Private equity firm Pacific Equity Partners (PEP) has agreed to sell Australian ice cream maker Peters Food Group to its UK-based peer R&R.
Peters, which was acquired by PEP from Nestle in August 2012, currently has annual revenues of around $250m. The company's brands include Connoisseur, Drumstick and Maxibon.
The companies did not disclose the terms of the deal, but it was reported that the business was sold for about A$450m ($416m).
R&R is backed by private equity firm PAI Partners, which bought the company from peer Oaktree a year ago.
Earlier this month R&R launched an offering of £315m senior notes due 2020.
PEP managing director Tony Duthie said, "We are pleased that a company of R&R's pedigree will help drive the future of the Peters' business alongside the existing skilled and committed Australian management team."
PEP has just made an indicative offer of between A$5.10 and A$5.25 per share for risk management specialist SAI Global, valuing it at as much as A$1.1bn ($1bn).
The firm is also reportedly set to raise A$954m through an IPO of cleaning and catering company Spotless Group.

The Cave Creator Ron Gilbert Leaves Double Fine
Written Tuesday, March 12, 2013 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Ron Gilbert has left Double Fine, the studio he joined in 2010.
Gilbert, the legendary creator of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, collaborated with Tim Shafer's Double FIne Productions on the recent XBLA adventure game The Cave.
However, following the title's release, Gilbert and Double Fine have parted company.
"Now that The Cave is done and unleashed on an unsuspecting world (ok, we did do a bunch of PR, so it wasn't exactly unsuspecting), it's time for me to move on from Double Fine and plot my next move," wrote Gilbert on his blog.
"So many games left to be designed.
"I want to thank all the amazing people at Double Fine for all their hard work on The Cave. It was a true pleasure to work with every one of them over the past two years. So much fun. I will miss them all. And of course to Tim for creating the opportunity to come there and make The Cave."
Gilbert is now working with DeathSpank co-creator Clayton Kauzlaric on the wonderfully named iOS title, Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover the Ultimate Sea Shanty: A Musical Match-3 Pirate RPG.

Mark West Pinot Noir (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2011
Pinot Noir from Central Coast, California
Winemaker Notes
Great grapes (where it all starts) and Alex's winemaking talents resulted in a wine that enjoys enticing aromas of dark berries including boysenberries and raspberries. There's a sweet entry of brown sugar and molasses followed by a bit of orange zest and coriander. The core of the wine tastes of fleshy plums with a spicy note of cardamom from oak aging. Reminiscent of our early Edna Valley Pinots, this medium weight wine is silky smooth... View More
Mark WestView all wine
At Mark West Winery our goal is to craft wines that consistently deliver enticing aromatics, a rich supple mouth feel, and classical varietal characteristics. The wines pair easily with food or for drinking alone. Our goal is to combine outstanding value and style in every wine we produce.

A Major Recall
This past Tuesday, General Motors increased the total number of recalled vehicles to nearly 1.6 million.
GM originally recalled about 780,000 Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s due to faulty ignition switches that have been connected to several fatal crashes. GM is now adding an additional 842,000 cars including Saturn Ion compacts, Chevrolet HHR SUVs, the Pontiac Solstice, and the Saturn Sky.
According to GM, the faulty ignition switches can be knocked out of the run position from rough roads causing the car to lose the engine and electrical power. The loss of the engine and electricity can disable power-assisted brakes, power steering, and the front airbags.
To date the issue has been linked to 31 crashes with 13 front-seat deaths. In a statement from GM, in all fatalities the airbags did not inflate but not all engines shut off.

Windsor is a small town at the crossroads of U.S. routes 258 and 460 in the center of Isle of Wight County.
"Corrowaugh" was the first recorded name for what would later become Windsor.
Corrowaugh was established as a post office in 1852, with mail was brought by courier once a week until 1859, when Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad (now Norfolk Southern) landed the contract to deliver the mail. The railroad built a depot, calling it Windsor Station.
By the turn of the 20th century, residents elected to make the town official, and the General Assembly granted Windsor's charter in 1902.
The town is now growing around U.S. Route 460, an alternate route between Hampton Roads and Richmond. The town's population has more than doubled over the past decade, to more than 2,600 residents, with more growth expected tied to the Port of Hampton Roads.
There are plans to build a new U.S. 460 — just south of the existing thoroughfare — to help alleviate traffic throughout Hampton Roads. But that project has been put on hold as state officials review the project's planning and permitting process under the prior administration.
Just east of Windsor on U.S. 460 is the Shirley T. Holland Commerce Park, home of a million-square-foot Cost Plus World Market distribution center. In 2011, the park landed Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which runs a roasting, grinding and packaging facility there.
The town began a police department in 2001, and is also served by the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department and The Windsor Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Population: 2,630
Area: 4 square miles
Founded: 1902
Median age: 45
Median income: $41,210

SA Woman Among the 'Fifty Most Powerful Women in Business'
Kim Bowers, the CEO of San Antonio based CST Brands, has been named one of the Fifty Most Powerful Women in American Business, in a new fisting by Fortune Magazine.
Bowers, 49, was the long time General Counsel of Valero Energy before being named CEO of the spin off company which owns and operates Valero's 1900 branded corner store locations.
CST Brands has $13 billion in revenue.
Bowers credits her employees for her success.
"Clearly it's our 12,000 team members who make CST successful," Bowers told 1200 WOAI news. "Every day they are greeting customers, we get over 10 million customers in our stores every week in our stores in Canada and the U.S."
Bowers has led the reinvention of the convenience store, converting what were formerly grubby outposts were people ran in to pay for gas and maybe buy some overpriced chips into stand alone retail marketing hubs, where fully 60% of customers don't buy gas at all. Bowers says CST stores are the antidote to increasingly huge grocery stores, which intimidate customers who just want to 'run in' to buy some bread.
"The future of convenience retailing is inside the store," Bowers says. "Our focus at Corner Store is to constantly innovate in terms of our food offerings and product mix. That includes Corner Stores' own signature Fresh Choices line. We are looking to craft more products that folks can't find anywhere else, and at the same time, provide convenience and value to our custoemrs."
"Clearly I had a lot of help along the way," Bowers says of her success. "I had many great mentors over at Valero, in particular (Valero CEO) Bill Klesse has been a great mentor and advisor to me for my many years at Valero."
She said the opportunity to head CST Stores, which was created earlier this year, was the 'opportunity of a lifetime.'
Bowers grew up in Ohio, but came to Texas to attend the University of Texas School of Law.
She says CST Brands, which is the third largest public company in San Antonio, will continue to 'grow along with San Antonio.'
Bowers has also adopted the Valero Model of community service, which was introduced by Valero founder, currently NuStar Energy CEO Bill Greehey, which includes everything from organizing diaper drives for women's shelters to raising money for flood and wildfire victims in Colorado.
This is Bowers' first year on the list of the most powerful women in business. The list is headed by the CEO's of IBM, Pepsi, DuPont, and Lockheed-Martin.

Could you, please, be more specific? Sentences such as, "[...] it
doesn't seem to work," are a kind of little bit fuzzy. You should start
by describing issues such as expected versus actual results and any
error/warning messages. Also, it is not clear whether you have ran some
tests on both versions (or it is just a feeling that you got by looking
at the results returned by version 6.0 and remembering what you believe
would have been returned by an earlier version).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think that a clear view of the horizon is more important that the rolling issue. If you can see the horizon, you can deal with motion. If you can't, you are far more susceptible to sea sickness. Mal de Mer is perhaps the worst thing in the world.
With old fashioned multihulls, like Pivers or CSK, the waterplane is very small, so the rolling and motion is benign. Also, most have big windows, so you can see the horizon. Most are plywood, so cheap, but only get one in "perfect" condition. Rotten wood is a bad thing. But if cared for, plywood boats last nicely seemingly forever. And the care isn't that bad. Even fiberglass boats, you need to repaint, deal with blisters, rotten cores, etc.
When you are living on a boat, the maintenance issues are right in your face, so its not that hard to stay on top of everything. But you must, regardless of the kind of boat.
Thanks for all the good input.
Speaking of boats, it will be based in the northern Chesapeake for now but the goal is to relocate to South Florida and Biscayne Bay and on to Bimini and eventually to the Caribbean and back.
I was drawn to the Cape Dory because the prices seemed in my basic range and alot of input regarding safety, but, I am a total novice and am just starting my search.
I like the catamaran's because they have so much living space, but they are not in my price range. I will be taking a course in maryland that uses Island Packet's (32) so I will see how they are. I just want to avoid the really narrow beamed yachts I have been on---they were fast sailing but not enough room for the two of us--I think it was a Pearson.
Anyway, any good recommendations for a live aboard would be appreciated, I liked a Nonsuch I saw but folks told me they thought they were 'odd' boats. It was real roomy, though.
Thanks for your input on 'roll' and types of sailboats
|St Anna
Tide against wind cause the yacht to lie beam on to the swell at anchor. Methods to minimise this are as said earlier, but also include the type of keel - a small thin fin will cause a more jerky motion than a fuller keel. The beam of the boat will also play a part - but more so if the widest part is right at the stern. These 'bendy types' have a flat hull section aft of the small bolt on keel. The keel resistance is concentrated in a small area as opposed to a fuller type of keel.
A few months ago we were stuck in an anchorage which was very rolly [for about 10 days]. A 50' beneteau anchored close to us (too close - another story). As I spent a good deal of time watching this neighbor, I concluded that he rolled much more than we did. I even got to see his keel. His 'roll' was very jerky and althoughs ours was a PITA, I would hate to spend a night on our neighbors beneteau.
There are ways to minimise/reduce/eliminate ' roll' at anchor such as 'flopper stoppers, or a split snubber. We sometimes drag a small drogue to keep the bow into the tide flow
You mentioned a catamaran - I am biased but they can tend to have a 'washing machine' [some say seasick producing] like motion which is very unlike the smooth predictable motion of a yacht under sail. Go for a sail in a cat in some reasonable breeze and seas before you believe all the hype.
have a look at our 'sailing cat' Even she looks under the weather!
|Jeff H makes some good points. I would add that, in addition to the keel configuration possibly slowing the period of the roll, the standing rigging has a large effect. In summary, there are too many variables to make a rule about the beam alone. I think your best choice would be to compare the action of the boats with wind and wakes. It's easiest to stand ashore and compare the swinging arc of different mastheads in the marina during rolling conditions, Take care and joy, Aythya crew
|Location in the marina and it's design can make a big difference. Where I live aboard in Victoria my bow faces the prevailing wind when it blows up. But the small marina 100 yards away has all the slips facing a direction 90 degrees different from most of the slips where I am. Even in a very slight wake the boats at the other marina all rock from side to side while we don't notice. The other night we had winds in the harbor of over 30k for most of the night. We could hear it but the motion was not an issue.
In a general sense, narrower boats roll through a wider angle but change roll rate more slowly. For some people, this gentler transition is more comfortable.
In a general sense, a beamier boat will roll through a narrower roll angle but will be more jerky on either side of the roll (like a catamarran). For some people, this smaller amount of movement is more comfortable.
And the reason that I say, "in general" is that some of the newer designs were developed with hull shapes and weight distributions so that they offer smaller roll angles and gentler motions.
Cape Dories tend to be in the large roll angles, gentler accelleration category but make poor choices if your goal is sailing on the Chesapeake since they sail so poorly in our prevailing conditions.
Does the 'roll' (side-to-side motion) of a boat at dock get lessened by the width of its beam? Or does that not really matter if the sea is up a bit. My partner is more sensitive to 'roll' on a boat than I am and I am looking at several different boats all in the same size range. (30-36') Can't afford a live-aboard catamaran otherwise I would go that route for her comfort. Any input would be appreciated. Are some makes of boat less 'roly' than others? Interested in the Cape Dory but am in earliest stages of boat shopping.

I've been getting stuck into TypeScript recently and hit a few bumps along the way, so thought I'd be all nice and internety and share some tips. Firstly and foremostly:
It's great.
Use TypeScript. If you have to do Javascript, and it's becoming something of an inevitability these days, do it in TypeScript. TS is object-orientated, strictly typed and you can have classes. These things make me very happy. For an old(ish) coder still pining for the days of Flash, TypeScript is much more like the structured coding of AS3 compared to the flabby, flaccid, unstructured mess that is JS.
You might not like the idea of strict typing the way having to declare what kind of things an array is going to hold irks me, but the discipline is good for you. Like porridge, morning runs, and getting hit with soap in a sock at a posh boarding school. So here are some of the things I had trouble with, in the hope of saving you time and frustration.
Speaking of arrays, I started by declaring them as
var array_of_things:Array;
This broke the TS compiler. I've not really looked into it in more detail, but apparently the correct way to define arrays is by specifying the variable type that you want your array to contain, like so:
var array_of_numbers: number[];
You define an array of instances of a Class by using the class name:
var array_of_class_instances: YourClassName[];
Not sure what type to use?
Use "any", like so:
var unknown_thing:any;
Generally best to use a specific type where possible, because then you get all the benefits of TS – namely autocompletion and in-IDE error checking.
Lambda (or "fat arrow") functions:
TypeScript is a superset of Javascript, and uses "this" a lot – mostly fine and dandy, but there are a few places it can catch you out. You can assign a scope for "this" to functions when they run, but the syntax isn't always obvious.
Usually in JS (and specifically using JQuery) you assign functions and callbacks like this:
class Parent { addListener() { $( window ).resize( functionName ); } }
then when the function fires its scope is $( window ), so you can access whatever goodies it holds. In this situation, you'd normally still be able to easily access variables from a parent object due to Javascript's crazily open scoping – but in TS you have to access properties of class instances and objects using
All well and good, until you find yourself not in the scope of the object any more. In the above example, the functionName callback's this is $( window ), not the Parent you assigned the function from, so this.propertyname will attempt to access propertyname within $( window ) – and you're locked out of the Parent vars you probably want to access.
To stop this, use lambda functions, like so:
class Parent { addListener() { $( window ).resize( () => functionName() ); } }
Now the listener function you've specified will be called within the scope of the Parent class, meaning you can access all its "this" variables without any fuss.
I got stuck for a while trying to work out how to pass parameters to lambda functions, but you just add the params to the both set of brackets:
class Parent { addListener() { $( window ).resize( ( params ) => functionName( params ) ); } functionName( params:any ) { // do stuff } }
Project setup and File Watchers
I've been using PHPStorm for front-end work, and it's great. After installing the TypeScript compiler you can also set up File Watchers that will automatically transpile your TS code into JS (and then use something like Closure Compiler to go straight to a minified file if you like).
PHPStorm also allows for automatic upload of files when they're changed, so I've got all my TS and JS files in one folder. When I edit a TS file PHPStorm auto-transpiles it into JS, which is minifed and then automatically transferred to a localhost folder for viewing in a browser. Source files, such as TS/SCSS files are excluded from the auto-transfer, so the localhost folder is ready for deployment – I just zip it and go, or upload to an alternative server straight from the IDE.
It's not a perfect workflow, but it's definitely better than doing everything manually every time!
NB PHPStorm 6 doesn't support the latest version of TypeScript, unfortunately. It will (mostly) compile but will also give you annoying errors in the IDE – try the Early Access Program version of PHPStorm or WebStorm 7 instead. They're a bit more flaky, seeing as they're betas, so save often :)
Because TS uses strict typing, you'll also need to tell the compiler about the values and parameters of any other libraries you're using (eg JQuery). These definitions come in the form of .d.ts files, which you can crack open and poke around in, or even just make your own. Thankfully you probably won't have to: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped is a great resource with definitions for lots and lots of things, and anything that's not there can usually be found with a bit of googling.

Western Climate group sees carbon cuts and savings
* Plans could produce $100 billion in savings
* Sees carbon price at $33 per tonne by 2020 (Figures in U.S dollars unless noted)
By Allan Dow
VANCOUVER, July 7 (Reuters) - A coalition of U.S. states and Canadian provinces planning a cap-and-trade market to curb carbon emissions, can meet their environmental goals and reap modest cost savings, a study released on Wednesday said.
The analysis by the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) said the effort to foster a clean-energy economy can significantly reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases linked to climate change and achieve about $100 billion in net savings by 2010.
California, British Columbia and Ontario are key members of the 11 states and provinces in WCI, which aims to cut emissions to 15 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 through the cap-and-trade system, as well as through complementary policies such as energy efficiency regulation.
Cap-and-trade systems, which are already in place in Europe and the U.S. Northeast, place a cap on pollution and let power plants and other big producers of greenhouse gases buy and trade emissions credits.
The systems count on market efficiency to drive pollution cuts for the cheapest price.
The analysis released on Wednesday expects carbon to trade around $33 a tonne in 2020, with world oil prices at that time at $112.05 a barrel and coal at $27.38 a ton. An earlier report for the BCI estimated carbon at $24. Continued...

Re: New member/sailboat owner..
Only five pics allowed at a time.. here are the other four..
Thanks again..
Re: New member/sailboat owner..
OK, Tom... you're on! <grin>
I spent some quality time two weekends ago doing some serious cleaning and snapped pictures of all eight keel bolts and a crack in one of the spans across the floor. The crack looks like it's been repaired; there's a wood block underneath it with fibreglass matt epoxied over it and onto the surface below... and even slightly over the washers and nuts on the two keel bolts in the vicinity. The cracked part is SLIGHLY higher than the rest of the floor, so the sole board doesn't quite lay perfectly flat there; it rocks slightly. Nothing I can't live with, as long as it's structurally sound.
Sooo... now that you've seen the bolts and the crack... can I just go sailing for a year and learn, or do I have to start with some serious repair work?
Thanks for any input...
Re: New member/sailboat owner..
No pics? It never happened. Sorry, those be the rules.
Post some pics!
Re: New member/sailboat owner..
I may be mistaken, but IIRC the Pearson keelbolts are truly bolts passing through a keel-top flange.. if so, esp now that she's already on the hard it may not be a major job to dig out the fairing and replace those two unsightly bolts. It would get rid of any nagging worry on your first season, and may not involve dropping the keel.
btw - welcome to the forum.. the 'learn to sail for free' at a race night is a path I've long recommended to new wanna-be sailors.. works every time!
Re: New member/sailboat owner..
Thanks for the reply/welcome, Caleb, and the link to the Pearson 26 specs at the other site. I had seen that already during our hunt for what we thought might be a good starter boat, but I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
I've gone back and forth trying to decide whether or not to tackle the keel boats prior to her first launch next season. Right now, the tally seems to be that most folks feel it would be safe to launch as is; there's very little "Pearson smile" visible (a gap in the seam between then hull and the keel), and six of the eight keel bolts, while rusty, are very solid. Even the two w/ questionable nuts (do NOT go there!!!!) seem to be pretty solid. Granted, I'd love to see NO rust or corrosion, but I don't think the keel's just going to fall off. If anyone reading this feels strongly that I'm incorrect, PLEASE say so. I have pictures of all eight keel bolts, along with a repair fiberglass repair that was done at one of the span that support the sole. Should I post them, either here or over in the maintenance section?
As far as our sailing locale, right now the soon-to-be-named boat is up in Chaumont, NY, on Lake Ontario, about an hour and forty minutes from our house. The plan is to learn to sail enough up there early next spring to sail/motor it down from there, via Oswego and the canal system, to Oneida Lake, where we'll store it on the southeast shore about 30 minutes from our house so we can get out there whenever we darn well feel like it!
Any folks in the area who are willing to coach a newbie, PLEASE drop me a line... musechaserpilot at yahoo dot com. If anyone would be willing to make the two-day trek from Chaumont to Oneida with me in May, I'll gladly provide beverages of your choice, decent provender, and an honorarium if requested. I'm a quick learner and am hoping that I'll be able to make the trip myself by that time, but I'm also not egotistical enough to know that for sure. Better safe than sorry.... I'm a private pilot, and I know enough to know that what you don't know can kill you. Not as fast in a sailboat, of course, but that doesn't mean I want to make bad decisions.
Thanks again for the reply. I am TRULY looking forward to this next journey of learning..
Best wishes to all,
Re: New member/sailboat owner..
Welcome to Sailnut. Nice introductory post.
Those old Sunfish hulls can take on water and get pretty soggy and become not so fun to sail.
The Pearson 26' is a good starter keel boat. Here are the specs for the basic P 26: PEARSON 26 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Pearson also made a 'Weekender' model that is also listed on that website. It has a slightly different cabin/deck layout. It is nice to know exactly which model you have.
It would be good if you could replace those keel bolts if they are as corroded as you described. I'd hate for the keel to fall off on you as the boat may not stay upright without the keel.
Also, where will you be doing most of your sailing?
New member/sailboat owner..
As the title says, we're new sailboat owners and SailNet members (after a few weeks of lurking)... but not yet sailors.
Brief history...lots of time spent in small 12' - 14' fishing boats w/ a 9.9 hp Merc botherin' Walleyes and Northern Pike. Decades. Always wanted to sail. Bought a Sunfish w/ waterlogged hull 'cause I didn't know any better. Still had fun sailing it maybe 10 times. Sold it due to hull becoming too bad to use any more. Thus endeth our experience.. <grin>.
Fast forward...
We did some dreaming for a couple years and bothered a very nice fellow at a local used boatyard on more than several occasions. Hee finally told us to just go sailing rather than try and figure out what to buy without any experience, and he hooked us up with a very friendly yacht club in our area. They hold open races on Thursday nights. We showed up, asked if anyone would be willing to take us on as crew, and that was that ... we were hooked. We went out on a 30' S2 with a very experienced captain (and VERY helpful) and had a great time. DONE.
Fast forward two months. After a lot of searching, we found a 1972 26' Pearson in decent but not perfect shape and bought it for what I think is a fair price from a very nice person. We didn't steal it, but we didn't get taken for a ride either. Figuratively, not literally. It's been on the hard for four years, but I'm pretty sure it's sailable the way it sits. The keel bolts are EXTREMELY rusty, to the point where two of the nuts aren't even really there any more, there's the usual semi-cob-jobbed electrical work, but very little spider cracking for the vintage (MUCH less than the other two Pearson 26's we looked at). It needs some fairing work at the hull/keel joint, all new running rigging, and obviously bottom painting, but by next season I think we'll have a great starter boat.
I spent two days cleaning her up last weekend, and slept on her for the first time. I'm amazed, at least with just me there, how open, bright, and airy it felt. As a long-time backwoods backpacker, I'm accustomed to roughing it and feeling a little claustrophobic while sleeping... by comparison, this was like staying in the Ritz.
Anyway... nice to be here. Wish my wife and I luck as we prep her (the boat, not my wife) for the official first launch next late April.
Best to all,

Joining a crowd, NY Times promoted McCain's Iraq proposal without discussing likely unfeasibility or political motivation
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
A December 11 New York Times article described as "muscular" Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) push for "an immediate increase in American forces [in Iraq] to try to bring order to Baghdad and crush the insurgency" and stated that McCain rejected the Iraq Study Group's (ISG) recommendations "because they did not present a strategy for victory." The article also quoted Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, who described McCain's position as "articulating the strategy for victory in Iraq." But like many other recent news reports, the article did not discuss the feasibility of the senator's proposed strategy or the possible political benefit to McCain of pushing a plan that he claims would bring "victory" but is unlikely to be put to the test.
By contrast, as Media Matters for America has noted, National Public Radio senior news analyst Cokie Roberts stated on the November 20 edition of NPR's Morning Edition that the military is unlikely to adopt McCain's proposal to send thousands more U.S. troops to Iraq because, she said, referring to a comment by Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the "Army is so depleted." For that reason, she stated, McCain's plan is "a somewhat convenient position, because he can always say, 'No one tried to win the war the way that I suggested to win it.' " Roberts added: "I think that this is a position that is useful for Senator McCain."
Media Matters has documented repeated examples of media figures who have promoted McCain's Iraq plan but have not mentioned any of the issues involved in actually carrying out his proposed strategy.
From the December 11 New York Times article headlined "Report on Iraq Exposes a Divide Within the G.O.P.":
Senator John McCain of Arizona, a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, rejected the major recommendations of the group because they did not present a formula for victory. Mr. McCain, hoping to claim the Republican mantle on national security issues, has staked out a muscular position on Iraq, calling for an immediate increase in American forces to try to bring order to Baghdad and crush the insurgency.
Bill Kristol, the neoconservative editor of The Weekly Standard and a leading advocate of the decision to invade Iraq, said: "In the real world, the [ISG co-chairman James] Baker report is now the vehicle for those Republicans who want to extricate themselves from Iraq, while McCain is articulating the strategy for victory in Iraq. Bush will have to choose, and the Republican Party will have to choose, in the very near future between Baker and McCain."
The choice Mr. Kristol is describing reflects a longstanding Republican schism over policy and culture between ideological neoconservatives and so-called realists. Through most of the Bush administration, the neoconservatives' idea of using American military power to advance democracy around the world prevailed, pushed along by Vice President Dick Cheney and Mr. [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld.
