Cold-Stunned Sea Turtles Returning to Wild After Freeze
SOUTH PADRE ISLAND – Hundreds of rare sea turtles stunned by the longest spate of sub-freezing days in decades in South Texas are to be returned to the wild today and tomorrow. As of this morning, more than 800 sea turtles had been rescued from freezing bays and beaches in Texas in the past three days, with more expected to be rescued today and tomorrow.
In past years for similar coastal freezes, cold-stunned sea turtles in Texas have typically been held in captivity to recuperate for weeks until sea water temperatures rose. But two factors have prompted Texas wildlife workers to return turtles to the wild faster. First, experts in Florida who've had similar recent experiences with cold-stunned turtles advised returning them to the water as soon as possible. Second, the sheer numbers of rescued turtles have overwhelmed available facilities, so that many are on floors or wrapped in blankets, and experts say it's better for them to return to water.
"There is no doubt we saved these turtles' lives; they would have perished in the cold if left on the bays and beaches," said Donna Shaver, who for years has led sea turtle recovery efforts for Padre Island National Seashore, and is the Texas coordinator for the national Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. Shaver said the recent cold wave has caused the largest cold-stunning of sea turtles since the national stranding network was formed in 1980.
Between 3-4 p.m. today, the first turtle release will take place on the beach at Isla Blanca County Park at the southern most tip of South Padre Island. This release will include more active and healthy sea turtles held at local facilities. As of this morning, more than 700 turtles were being held in far South Texas, including about 300 at Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, about 125 at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, about 250 at the University of Texas-Pan American coastal studies lab, and about 50 at the facility of nonprofit Sea Turtle, Inc.
"This has been a huge community effort, from Donna Shaver's folks to other federal staff with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, right down to little eight-year-old kids pulling sea turtles out of the freezing muck," said Jeff George of Sea Turtle, Inc. "It's another example of the community pulling together for our rare species."
Also around 3-4 p.m. today, more than 50 sea turtles that had been held at the Gladys Porter Zoo are to arrive at the state fish hatchery operated by TPWD in Flour Bluff near Corpus Christi. The state agency's Coastal Fisheries Division staff and game wardens have been out on beaches and in boats for days helping rescue stranded turtles. Today they used fish hatchery trucks to transport some of the weakest turtles that still need indoor recuperation from the Valley to the Corpus area.
Shaver said sea water temperatures must be at least 52 degrees Fahrenheit for sea turtle releases. This morning she said water temperatures were in the high 40s in the Corpus area, though a warming trend is coming. George said this morning near shore water temperatures off South Padre Island were in the upper 50s, but were higher into the low 60s offshore. He said the water was 48 degrees in bays such as the Lower Laguna Madre, where turtles were rescued with ice on their bodies. George said all of the sea turtles rescued in Texas so far have been green sea turtles, a threatened species.
PHOTOS showing sea turtles rescued in the Corpus Christi area are online at http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/news_images/?g=freeze_response_february_2011. Broadcast quality video of sea turtles being rescued and taken to TPWD's Flour Bluff hatchery is also available on the department's FTP site—contact Tom Harvey for download instructions.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2013 (1667 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Provincial and police officials this morning touted the success of a joint Winnipeg Police Service and RCMP unit created to track down serious felons.
The Manitoba integrated warrant apprehension unit made its 1,000th arrest and is credited with keeping Manitoba streets safer from hard-core criminals.
"The work of this unit is making Manitoba streets, our communities, our neighbourhoods, safer," Justice Minister Andrew Swan said during a news conference at the downtown Public Safety Building.
The integrated warrant apprehension unit consists of three Winnipeg police officers and three RCMP officers whose job is to track down wanted violent offenders and individuals who have breached court conditions or skipped out on court appearances for such serious crimes as property, driving, drug and weapons offences.
It is funded by the Selinger government, which set up the unit in September 2011, at the request of the two police forces.
Winnipeg police Sgt. John O'Donovan, who has been with the unit since the beginning, said the success of the unit frees up the work of general patrol officers.
O'Donovan said about 70 per cent of the unit's arrests have been violent offenders who were eluding capture.
O'Donovan said the unit has proven successful in tracking down individuals who have fled the jurisdiction of rural police and RCMP detachments to hide in Winnipeg.
Swan said the unit's success has helped restore public confidence in the justice system, adding felons realize they cannot escape responsibility to appear in court.

LAKE WALES, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team scored seven runs before registering their first out as they defeated Warner University 10-3 in mid-week action at Royals Field on Tuesday afternoon.
Saint Leo (8-3) capitalized on two Royal fielding errors in the opening inning as the first seven Lions reached base; all eventually scoring. It was an inning where Saint Leo would bat through the lineup, with Ryan Brnovich coming to bat for the second time with just an out on the board.
Saint Leo would add two more runs in the next frame as they chased starting Warner (5-10) pitcher Jeff Jacobsen (0-1) after just an inning-plus of work.
Going six complete, starting pitcher Ryan Sadler (1-1) picked up his first win of the season as he surrendered just five hits and a single run. Rick Teasley and Matthew Hewitt teamed up for relief duties, only allowing two more runs to cross the plate.
The five-through-seven hitters in the Lions' lineup put up the biggest numbers as right fielder Dustin Brown, batting fifth, went 2-for-4 with two RBI; the no. 6 hitter Brendan Collins, also went 2-for-4 with four RBI; and designated hitter Michael Revell, seventh in the order, matched his teammates by going 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Saint Leo will remain on the road as they next travel to Orlando to face Florida Christian College on Friday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. at historic Tinker Field.

Tina Fey on Sarah Palin: 'She's got none of that droopy shit. She's keeping it tight!'
Tina Fey has been thrust into the political spotlight this election year ever since John McCain picked her Alaskan doppelganger Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Initially, Tina didn't see the resemblance but now wishes the two looked more alike, according to the latest issue of TV Guide:
"When I first saw her, I didn't think we looked alike at all. Then during the convention, I started to think, 'Ok, maybe a little.'
"I'll tell you, that lady is five times better-looking than I am. She's 44? She's got none of that droopy s–t. She's keeping it tight!"
And that's an endorsement. Quick, somebody slap that shit on a bumper sticker: "Sarah Palin: 1 out of 1 liberal comedians that look like her agree: 'She's tight like prom night.' McCain/Palin '08. AWWW YEAH!"

HOUSTON - The search is on for the person responsible for a 57-year-old woman's death.
Sadie Butler died from a single gunshot wound on June 9. Her family is seeking justice.
"We're asking you to have a heart. We were robbed of our mother. She was a grandmother, a daughter, an aunt, a friend. We just want some information," said Butler's daughter, Erica Boutte.
A person driving in the 5600 block of Tidwell in northwest Houston found Butler's body at a bus stop, investigators said. That person drove to a nearby gas station and told the employee about the body. That employee called police. Now investigators would like to talk to the person who first made that discovery.
"That person is not a suspect. We just want to know what he saw. He was driving a newer model dark blue or black Chevy Impala," Houston police Officer Mark Coleman said.
Butler's body was discovered at 6:15 a.m. She was known to walk in the area, but never that early.
"At that time in the morning, we're really not sure why she would have left. We don't know exactly where she was going," said Boutte.
Investigators said Butler's purse and cellphone were found at the scene, ruling out robbery as a motive.
"We know at approximately 5:50 a.m. she called METRO, the automated number, to get information on the bus schedule. We don't know the type of information she was trying to obtain or what bus she was trying to ride. We know she did call them," said Officer Coleman.
Detectives said Butler was last seen alive leaving a relative's home about 4:30 a.m.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

|barely worth it
Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2004
|the hike was on a road, there were tame bighorn along the way, and it was crawling with tourists.
It only took an hour or two, but it was barely worth it.

|Yellowstone is fantastic. If your time is limited in Yellowstone, I highly suggest other points of interest unique to the Park.
Still, a fun and easy hike - though as a fat elementary kid, I remember struggling a little. (Then again, I think I was expressing to my folks that I'd rather be on a roller coaster. C'est l'vie.)
Don't recall the exact date, may even have the year mixed up...
We hiked up a jeep road up the backside, then found as we looped down the singletrack back to the cars that a better, more beautiful trail was to be had. Bummer I suppose, but still very gorgeous.
Attempted Lake Solitude in the Tetons on the same trip, but it was not to be for this fat kid; success was not seen there until the slimmer days of high school.

|Multiple ascents
|9/30/06 - Climbed via the Dunraven Pass route. A nice day but the summit views were obscured by smoke from a fire.
Also climbed twice as a kid on family vacations, both times via the Chittenden Road route.

|No bears
|Hiked this peak with my brothers and parents on my first trip out west. I remember it being fairly easy, but having a great view. We were hoping to see a grizzly (maybe from the car instead of the trail), but didn't get the chance to.

Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2004
|Was working at Canyon Village and the road to Dunraven Pass was closed, so I bushwacked roughly parallel to the road towards Dunraven Peak, descended to the pass, and hiked the trail to the summit. I then descended the trail down through Washburn Hot Springs back to the Seven Mile Hole Trail, and then back to Canyon.

|This was a cool little mountain experience. My sister, dad, and I made the hike in the evening. We were rushed so we set a fast pace. The views from the top were nice. Too bad we had to hurry off the mountain, otherwise we could have watched the sunset from the summit. As it turned out, I watched the sunset while hiking back down the road as fast as my legs would let me go.
Take it as a recommendation from John Muir himself to make this hike and to enjoy the views!

|Amazing Views!
|My husband and I hiked up Washburn in the summer of 1996 or 1997. I remember the beatuful views and wildflowers. Even in August there were still patches of snow. It was my first time above 10,000 ft.

|Glacier Boulder Route
|Started my hike from the Glacier Boulder Trailhead in Canyon on a sunny July day, 2005. Nice views of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone from the north rim on the first mile. Passed by Washburn Hot Springs after 3 1/2 miles. After 5 miles the trail gains all of it elevation in the last 3 miles to the summit. Hiking up to the ridge was a real lung buster. Didn't see another hiker, which I enjoy, until I reached the lookout structure. After lunch on the tower, I hiked the 8 miles back to Canyon. Really nice, on the not often used trail. If you want to avoid the crowds on a long day hike up to Washburn, I'd recomend starting from the Glacire Boulder trailhead in Canyon.
|Posted Feb 25, 2006 9:43 pm
|Great for All Three
|I've hiked this trail once, but skied it a couple of times. Once from the Canyon/Dunraven side, and once from Tower Junction. I've also skied the southern slopes along Dunraven Pass without summiting a few times. This is the place I made my first real telemark turn.

|First time I did it with the crew that would define that year and the crew that became Grand Teton...and was our finest moment. 2nd time, I borrowed a bike from Charlie and rode it from Canyon to the trail and then kinda walked for the most part as it got steep on the road, hung around for a bit, was a little windy and then got on the bike and sped past all those families with kids walking up...what a thrill ride and a curvy ride too.

Welcome to our live coverage of the eurozone crisis. We'll bring you all the developments. By Tom Burgis and Ben Fenton in London with contributions from FT correspondents across the world. All times are GMT.
17.37: As the EU's political leaders get down to talks, we are closing down the live blog for today, but it will be up again bright and early tomorrow to pick up on whatever is decided overnight. Meanwhile, elsewhere on FT.com you'll be able to find coverage of the summit kept fresh by our sleep-deprived Brussels team.
17.29 More bleak news for the UK's Triple A credit rating, via FT markets editor Chris Adams:
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/chrisadamsmkts/status/279275102162522112"]
17.24 More twists and turns in this tale of what said what to whom about the Italian elections at the centre-right EPP's pre-summit meeting today (see 15.49 and 17.06).
Antonio Tajani, the Italian EU commissioner and a Berlusconi ally, is quoted by Italian news agency Adnkronos as saying that none of the leaders of the EPP "expressly asked Monti to be a candidate".
"Everyone spoke well of Monti but no one wants to interfere."

A FAMILY left devastated after the deaths of two brothers and their aunt in a motorway accident has passed on their thanks to police and those offering support and condolences over the tragedy.
Adnan Habib, aged ten, and four-year-old Mohammed Arsalaan Habib both died in the crash on the M6 near Stoke-on-Trent on Tuesday, along with 32-year-old Bushra Tazarib. They had been on their way to a wedding in the Manchester area when their car overturned.
Mohammed Khaliel, founder of the Islamix organisation who has been in contact with the family, said: "It's hit the heart of everybody decent in the country.
"The family want to thank all the well-wishers for their kind messages of sympathy.
"This is something that's not only hit the family, but the wider family and community as well. The family is very well known.
"I don't think the shock has settled in yet."
"We really want to pass on our thoughts and our prayers. It's such a tragic event but it shows you the goodness of the community, regardless of colour, creed or origin.
Mr Khaliel added that at the moment the Muslim community is saying special prayers for the community after its usual mosque prayers.
Hundreds visited Totteridge Mosque yesterday, where they passed on their condolences.
Mr Khaliel said the family also wished to thank the Staffordshire and Thames Valley Police forces for their work and support after the accident.
Superintendent Gilbert Houalla, of Thames Valley Police, said: "I was made aware of this tragic accident very soon after it took place. Wycombe Police and Thames Valley Roads Policing are working closely with the Staffordshire Police to make sure that the family are supported through this personal tragedy.
"My heart goes out to the family. They must be going through hell and I am really sorry about that."

University blamed for fall in number of pupils at York school
5:49pm Friday 28th December 2012
By Haydn Lewis
5:49pm Friday 28th December 2012
By Haydn Lewis
THE out-going head teacher at a threatened York primary school has blamed the expansion of the University of York for falling pupil numbers.
Carole Torode, is taking early retirment as head teacher of Derwent School after more than two decades as a head teacher in Tang Hall, where she grew up.
Mrs Torode, 59, has been head at Derwent Infants for 22 years and took over as head of the juniors when the two federated in 2006 and says she will very much miss the school.
She said it was her decision to retire which sparked the current consultation process to unite her school with nearby Osbaldwick and said the ever-growing University of York had meant pupil numbers had dropped from 300 when she started at Derwent to 100 today.
She said: "Family homes are being bought up by landlords to let to students at the University of York. While I have been here the numbers have just dropped and dropped and dropped; there has been a steady decline in pupil numbers.
"It is a tragedy because this is a fantastic school with a fantastic buildings and fantastic facilities and the pupils are so brilliant - I am so proud of them."
She said she was sad to follow the story of Burnholme Community College, the secondary where many Derwent pupils would go and which is now due to close in 2014.
She said: "There have been fundamental changes in the years I have been teaching, but I'm now seeing children that I taught years ago who have now become parents bringing their children here and even grandparents and that's when you know it's time to go."
Mrs Torode, who lives in Haxby and also previously taught at her own former school, Tang Hall Primary, said she plans to spend some of her retirement at her second home in France "under a palm tree with a gin and tonic".
A University of York spokesman said: "City of York Council is best placed to explain why Derwent Primary School is being taken over by Osbaldwick Primary School.
"However, it seems unlikely that this decision is related to the number of students living in the area. The primary schools closest to the University campus - such as Badger Hill and Lord Deramore's – are all thriving, and include many children of staff and students at the university."
From January to September, Osbaldwick's current head, Lesley Barringer, will be the executive head for both schools. After the consultation, decisions will be taken in the spring for changes to be in place by next September.

Fight Club: The Top Action Heroines
ELLE's editors put the pros to the test, trying eight top dermatological procedures to find out what hurts, what works, and what to ask for in order to get the result you want.
Procedure: Botulinum Injections
What it is: Botox, Dysport, and the new Xeomin—all made from variations of botulinum toxin type A—erase wrinkles by blocking the nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract.
The cost: Approximately $400 every three to four months. After 20 minutes, you may be able to return to work; within a week, you'll see full results.
Editor's take: ★★★★★ "Hands down, Botox is the easiest way to get rid of wrinkles. I'd tried everything: laser, Retin-A, chemical peels. Four days after my first injection, the stubborn lines were gone for good, but my face still looks natural."

Marian Gaborik:
On the difference in the series:
"It's hard to say. That fourth game, we had them, you know, that 3-0 lead. Definitely I think that as a point that maybe it went another way. But we came here (thinking) we can do it, with confidence, and we didn't give in. We battled to the end, and too bad it didn't work out for us. It's definitely disappointing."
On attacking Neuvirth:
"I think the third game we were better at getting in his face, and getting in the crease. But I don't think we got enough pucks (to the net). They blocked a lot of shots. We didn't generate a lot of quality scoring chances, and if we did, he was there. So, we were talking about we had to get into his crease and take his eyes away, but we could have done it more, definitely."
On the power play:
"Yeah, special teams are critical. We couldn't find the net on the power play. We're talking about, they're going to be aggressive. We didn't come up with a lot of pucks when we got into their zone. Again, it comes down to getting shots through and when it's not going, try to find a simple play and get it to the net and get a screen in front of him, which we haven't done a lot. Special teams are huge and we haven't come up with any goals."
On his season:
"I don't know. Obviously the season hasn't been what I expected, but it's definitely disappointing, especially now when we lost in the series. So it is what it is. It's disappointing."
On a carryover from Game 4 to the start of Game 5:
"We talked about we wanted to come out, we wanted to have a good start, we wanted to be physical. We did at times. They came out hard. We knew that. So, yeah, we could have made more plays when they were there and we just came up short."
On the Capitals keeping the Rangers to the outside:
"It's hard to say. I don't know. They played a good game. Obviously we didn't generate a lot of scoring chances, and again, when we did (Neuvirth) was there."
On his number of shots in the series (he had 20, five in Game 5):
"There were quality chances, definitely. Just at critical times when there were chances, obviously, if those would have gone in, it would be totally different. So it's hard to look back. The chances that we got, that I got, if half of them would go in, I think it would be different, a different series."
On if there's anger or disappointment:
"It's kind of both. Frustrating and disappointing to come up short. It's disappointing. We knew that we could play with them, we could take momentum to our side. We just came up short."

The Crap We Missed – Friday 2.10.12
We now live in a time when shooting a ping-pong ball from your vagina means you're the second trashiest act of the night. Thanks, Jesse James.
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed where David Spade shouts out to Casey Anthony, Fergie's on the fairway recommending a wood, and in every photo of Toni Braxton there's always an effeminate black man sporting homemade seashell jewelery with a cell phone saying "Bitch, you would not believe the size of her microphone."

The benefits of rail for public transport have shown to be highly productive in moving commuters to and from their work or other places. An efficient rail system can reduce road congestion decreasing the travel time for commuters and travelers. High speed trains (such as those in China) can also decrease travel times because they are simply faster that other forms of land transport.
The benefits also flow to the environment from the reduction in the use of more polluting transport modes/types.
America's economy has benefited from the rail systems that it has developed. Rail as a transport mode has been fundamental in the building of the nation.
As America's population has continued to grow it has capitalized on the use of rail systems as key public transport infrastructure. There are also a number of continuing and planned rail projects and options that are and will continue to increase the productivity and livability of cities.

They customized it to add "hotel accommodations" after "for more wedding details" and before "and registry information." We also customized it to add a line below the website for our website's password, and even made it in 2 different fonts ("PASSWORD" in the same font as the "for more wedding details" font, and "our password" in the same font as the wedding website but in a size smaller and not in caps). They worked all the sizing/spacing out and it ended up looking amazing!!!"

Did you know?
The suburb of Parkview is home to a number of well-regarded restaurants.
Vegetarian dining at Gingko restaurant in Parkview, Johannesburg, offers guilt-free indulgence with a satisfying array of choices, whether you're looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a tea with something on the side. Its food is kept 'clean' (eco-friendly and preservative free) and organic produce is sourced wherever possible.
The star attraction is the daily lunchtime buffet, which allows you to put together a plate consisting of nothing but your personal favourites. Only interested in some quiche, a curry or a quick soup? Well, then settle for that. If, however, you're big on greens, salads, cheese and specialty breads, load your plate with those! Remember, the lighter your choices, the smaller the bill, as each plate is weighed and you pay accordingly.
Traditionally there are a couple of hot mains (say, a pasta, or aubergine or butternut bake) complemented by platters of antipasti, savoury tarts, vegetable combos (both cooked and raw) and sweet treats. (Oh my, the sweet stuff! Nutty muffins, carrot cake, spice cake, chocolate – it's all there, even glucose- and sucrose-free options.)
Gingko's vegetarian menu – the à la carte menu that supplements the buffet – offers everything from a traditional breakfast fry-up (mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, toast) to wheat-free pancakes with bananas, berries and maple syrup; and from bulging wraps and burgers to designer salads.
The restaurant's setting complements the wholesome food choices – Parkview is a green, leafy suburb and Gingko's deck is a peaceful getaway spot right around the corner from some of Jo'burg's best greengrocers.
The attached shop gives you the opportunity to shop for all manner of healthy goods, from wheat-free biscuits to balsamic reductions, delicious nuts and dried fruit.

Im using hamachi client for a long time (more than 4 years) and I have mesh network of 9 PCs.
This morning half of these PCs were unable to connect to the network due to error msg displayed in hamachi client. I took screenshot of that msg for you to see.
If Im not mistaken hamachi is no longer provided in free version but only commercial, but few months back I received email from LogMeIn saying that these changes in licencing will affect only new users and customers and that we, old users, will be left with our networks and limited to 10 users tops.
I was fine with that, as I didnt need more than 10 users.
This morning, and I didnt add any new PC for more than year and a half, hamachi just promted me with that msg on some of the PCs.
Please see attached image.
Can someone enlighten me with this problem please.
Ty all in advance.Dean
I didnt paste image right, here is direct link:http://s7.postimage.org/ped48vdvv/image.jpg
They are basicly trying to extort their users now. Anyone who used the free product will notice that they have basicly **bleep**ed you all. About a week ago they limited us to 10 clients, thinking this would motivate you to spend 20$. Well, didn't work on most of us. So as of 6am this morninig, they dediced, well lets screw them some more... now all networks are limited to 5 clients. I called their support and they basicly told me, "**bleep** you pay me", in otherwords if I want to use Hamachi I must pay them 20$ to have my network. It even suspended my network this time around because I had 10 users in it and now the limits5 so its violationg the rules so my network is no suspended. I have to say, after being behind the Hamachi product for MANY MANY years and suggesting it to others, this is a huge crock of crap. Is it truly so bad for you guys that you have to rip off even you longest standing customers? What if I do not want your spoke wheel, hub, bull and just want to use my network as it was?
In short, you are not going to win.. they do no care about you further than the $$$$ you make them so do not expect them to help you. If you want to use hamachi shell out the 20$ or find a new home I guess. I am sure we will not be the only one dissatisfied with this "Policy Decision".
What a sad day for this product, it was created to be free and now it has just been basterdized by this company.
Honestly, and I am sure this is the reason they feel they can extort us for money, this is the only service I know of its kind. My suggestion for the time being is just make more networks. I think in the end this decision is going to hurt them more than they think when all the people with one network now have 16 to encompass all their machines so each can access one another. Going to be a lot more overhead on their servers. That is what I am going to do for now, till they limit us all to 2 clients or whatever rediculous move they make next. Great way to ruin a good "free" product... especialy after they went through all the issues to make a non-comercial licesne and enfore all kinds of dumb stuff on the free clients, now in reality they just want us all to leave or pay them a rediculous sum. 20$ for 1 network that can hold 32 users (of which I would probably never use more than 12) is just plain dumb. I dont even use the latest version of the software, I am still using 184.108.40.206 because their newer software is just crap, unreliable and unsupported in linux.
For now I guess I will just create 123123 networks of 5 and join my 10 machines to them all until I can come up with a combination that allows me access to all my machines. My suggestion to you is to to the same, or if your a weaker person than I, pay the $20.00.
As I said before, this is just plain sad. Thanks LogMeIn for ruinin a good _FREE_ product.
I too am completely incensed by Logmein's disgraceful attitude to their customers. I have never known such a cavalier attitude from any company, and certainly not from any company that is still trading!
I also feel that Hamachi is pretty unique in the way it works, but I am always looking out for alternatives. Not because Hamachi now costs me £14.40 per 32 client network, but because I don't trust the company to survive, given their behaviour, both regarding this instance and previous ones where they demonstrated complete cluelessness in terms of business sense and common decency.
To quote Jeremy Clarkson, their directors need to be taken out and shot, in front of their families.
That is all.
If anyone misses the irony of this post, please contact me for an explanation.
Sadly, irony is not missed at all...
After years of doing "free advertising" to hamachi (at least two of the companies with which I work are now paying customers...) it's hard to be treated this way in such a blatant case of corporate greed.
Hamachi is unique in its category, and I fear tahat the good technicians who made it what it is will probably suffer from this poor management decision which will surely backfire.
It seems to me a classic case of "take the money and run".
Surely I'm NOT going to pay a cent for the small (8-9 people) Minecraft server I set up at home for my sons and their friends...

Thanks all for the feedback. It's a very valuable conversation you're having and we'll continue to pay close attention to it.
We have made some adjustments to the tiers and limits, which we believe allows casual users and small businesses to continue using Hamachi at a very low cost while still offering a free product for those with relatively small amounts of computers. In the previous model, a commercial business (no matter the size) was forced into a commercial license at $199. Today, that same business can maintain their small, commcercial networks without hurting their budgets.
You can find the latest information about Hamachi and updates here: https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/hamachi/vpn/whatsnew.aspx
Since the Hamachi team has worked hard on our in-product notification system, I am interested to hear more about the lack of notifications happening on your client. Please hover over the warning icon-- you should see a pop-up with a full explanation of your limits. If you're not seeing this I will follow-up with the development team to make sure it is fixed ASAP, though multiple rounds of testing has proved this to be working.
Thanks again for the feedback.

dan2304k - Monday, July 12, 2004 - linkThe aspect ratio problem is probably a problem with the player (WMP), not a problem with nvidia's software or recording. It appears to be recording in half-pel mode (352x480) resolution, which IS part of the DVD standard. If you were to create a DVD and put it in a properly made standalone DVD player, it would play back in the correct aspect ratio. A properly written software mpeg2 player should handle it properly too. Reply
glennpratt - Monday, July 12, 2004 - linkHave you compared them to a decent standalone card? It's silly to buy a subpar vid card with a subpar tuner attached to it that isn't compatible with much software. It may cost a little upfront, but when you go to upgrade, having them seperate will save money. Reply
JTDC - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - linkI am sorry that some users have had problems with the All in Wonder product line. My experience with the extended use of three of the ATI cards over the years has been largely positive. I look forward to continuing to use All in Wonder in the future. At the same time, I am open to seeing what Nvidia can offer. Reply
mcveigh - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - linkscrew the bells and whistles...all I want is the NVDVD3 decoder to use with zoom player and FFDSHOW! Reply
glennpratt - Sunday, July 11, 2004 - linkAll in wonder has a long history of happy customers? What world is this? AIW are an waste of money, there included software is crap and the drivers are unstable at best. Compare Media Center or Beyond TV + good standalone TV tuner with hardware MPEG encoding with AIW and you see what crap AIW's are.
Not saying the nv cards are any better though. Reply

A WYCOMBE Abbey pupil had a day to remember with four golds and two championship records at the Bucks AA Track and Field Championships last weekend.
Temi Ojora won the 100m, 200m, high jump and long jump at Horspath Road, Oxford, over the Bank Holiday weekend, with new U13 records coming in the field with jumps of 1.45m and 4.97m.
Ojara's leap of 4.97m places her number one in the UK age group rankings, and she is also at the top of tree in high jump after recording a height of 1.55m earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, her Windsor, Slough, Eton and Houslow AC team-mate Jemima Copeman was also a multiple medal winner.
Copeman, who also captains the Marlow U12 hockey team, made the podium in the 100m, 200m, long jump and 70m hurdles.
But her best result of the day came in the javelin where she threw a new best of 27m to move third in the UK rankings.
Meanwhile, Ele Krefting completed an U13 cleansweep for WSEH/Wycombe Abbey by joining Ojara and Copeman on the podium in the 100m, 200m.
She also won the 70m hurdles in her own right while Francesca McLeod made it a Wycombe Abbey one, two, three with a jump of 4.07m in the long jump.
Elsewhere, Rachel Denton-Snape led another cleansweep of medals in the U15 discus where her gold medal provided inspiration for teammates Izzy Keeley and Charlotte Humphries to take the next two places.
Denton-Snape then added the hammer title while Keeley added bronze in the shot. Meanwhile, Ele Forsdyke set a personal best to win gold in the U15 300m with a time of 44.98 seconds while also adding a silver in the 200m and bronze in the long jump.
Florence Copp led her training partners to the first five places in the U15 75m hurdles with Fabienne Cuthbert and Izzy Coleman joining her on the podium, while pentathlete Annie Getley clocked two championship titles in the U20 shot and javelin.
Also victorious, Abi Pinner improved her high jump best to 1,45m to claim the U15 title.
Further, golds came from Olivia Caesar (U20 400m), Steph Clitheroe (U20 100m), Ellie Bilsland (80m hurdles ), Anya Wood (U17 300m hurdles), Michael Louise (senior 100m), Emily Dodd (U17 javelin).
Meanwhile, in the Oxon Championships at the same venue, Freya See recorded a season's best of 10.36m to take triple jump gold.
Silver medals came from Morgan Hanson, who smashed her 1,500m best by 25 seconds to come home in five minutes, 17 seconds. while her training partner Katie Thompson took 33 seconds off her best 1,500m time to finish in five minutes, 19 seconds for bronze.
Other silver medallists were Ciaran McGuire (U20 100m), Ele Crowe (U15 high jump), Isaac Hay (shot, discus and javelin), Anya Wood (high jump), Grace Wilkinson (triple jump), Astra Liebowitz (U15 javelin), Steph Clitheroe (U20 100m hurdles), Eloise Davison (U17 800m).
Meanwhile, younger athletes making their Championship debuts were also rewarded with medals; Eloise Brindle collecting silver in the discus and bronze in the shot while Nathan Fletcher won a bronze in discus.
Also winning bronzes were Darcey Roe (U13 javelin), Steve O'Hara (U20 100m and 200m), Martha Stevens (U17 80m hurdles) and Jacob Preston (U15 800m).

Expedition yachts built to travel the globe are beginning to offer exciting options for charterers.
By Kim Kavin - October 2003
How would you like to sit on the deck of a charter yacht and sip coffee iced with chips from Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the most awesome sights in all of Patagonia?
Perhaps you would prefer to splash off your kayak for a little snorkeling in the warm waters of Bora Bora's Coral Garden underwater park, then paddle back to the yacht for a cool shower in your stateroom's marble head.
Or maybe you dream of cruising Costa Rica's Pacific beaches, hiking amid white-faced capuchin monkeys and three-toed sloths before returning to the boat for a gourmet dinner of freshly caught fish steamed in just-picked banana leaves.
These are all fantasy adventures, to be sure, for charter guests and brokers alike. While crewed motoryacht charters offer a variety of fantastic experiences aboard an array of different-style boats, most of those yachts tend to ply Caribbean, Mediterranean, and New England waters, where the yachting infrastructure is established. Sure, a few head off each season for Alaska, Australia, and other points afar, but for the most part, charter yachts tend to cruise near perfectly pleasant hubs equipped with marinas, day labor, and provisioning houses, places like Newport, Sint Maarten, and Antibes.
That's what makes the handful of expedition yachts that are now entering the charter market—and the myriad possibilities these vessels represent—so exciting.
It's easy at first glance to mistake these behemoths for the work boats they resemble. They are built not to turn heads amid the sleek, white speedsters in St. Tropez, but to have the kind of fuel and water capacity, ballast, equipment and systems design, and heavy-duty construction that make them self-sustaining as they circumnavigate the globe. But look beyond the exterior. The trend is refitting commercial craft or building new yachts that look like them for elegant expeditions, keeping the characteristics that allow for true worldwide adventure while providing all, if not more, of the comfort, decor, and toys found aboard more traditional charter yachts. That means the best of all worlds for charter guests who want five-star accommodations in wild, undeveloped lands.
The calls for such travel started coming around the mid-1990's, says Jan Henry, a charter broker with Fraser Yachts Worldwide in Fort Lauderdale. Younger clients—generally late 30s to early 50s—had chartered in the well-traveled destinations and wanted to venture somewhere new. She and her associates were frequently frustrated with the lack of options available. "Quite frankly, I don't know of any expedition yachts that were out there even five years ago," she says.
Then, one by one during the past few years, a handful of expedition yachts became available for charter. Brokers immediately saw the potential. The boats are typically more fuel efficient than traditional motoryachts, which means money saved for the charter guest. They tend to be beamier, which usually means larger living spaces. Their interiors are just as luxurious as today's newest deliveries from Holland and Italy. They often have more deck space, which translates into more toys. They can go places where no shore-based infrastructure exists to support them, which means more adventurous itineraries.
And yet, the boats initially were a tough sell. "Especially [for] the women," Henry says. "The women have to be convinced. They know the Feadship look."

A Democrat and a RepublicanLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A Democrat and a Republican are being interviewed.
"I am a Republican", says the man.
"I am a Democrat", says the woman. Assume that at least one of them is lying. Which one is it?
AnswerBoth of them are liars! If the woman was lying, then there would be two Republicans. If the man was lying, there would be two Democrats. We are told that one is a Democrat and one a Republican and that at least one of them is lying. Therefore, both are lying.

Sociologist Dr. Andrea Kronenthaler (changed her name as Hatice Ozdemir after embracing Islam) is an associate professor at Karlsruhe University of Germany who frankly expresses that 87 % of the tourists' knowledge of Islam is based on second-hand information and says; "If the true Islam is introduced to them, they listen carefully and admit that they have prejudices on Islam but then they get out of these prejudices after learning the truth. So it is very significant for Muslims to become role models with their manners."
Dr. Andrea Kronenthaler describes Islam to the tourists who come to Side in Turkey and tries to eliminate the prejudices about Muslims. She gives information about Islam in English and in German to the tourists visiting Fatih Mosque in Side, Manavgat. Kronenthaler explains that European tourists are very much interested in Islam but have prejudices. Western people generally do have prejudices and investigators proved this reality. While studying on Islam 13 years ago, she personally involved to the life story of Prophet Muhammad (saas). Thus, she converted to Islam then.

City-specific meetups?
While looking at Erin's behind-the-scenes look at how the tots are made at San Diego's R-Gang, I found myself wishing there was some kind of city-specific meetup through serious eats. Nothing formal, maybe just a click through to post to people from your city about trying a new place, food-specific events, etc. We're all foodies, and foodies love eating and talking and talking about eating, so I figure we should do that together.

Gordon Brown cracked a rather amusing joke during the Welsh Labour spring conference this afternoon. I can't imagine he wrote it, of course, but here it goes.
"It has been a strange week," he mused. "The only thing I haven't been accused of recently is killing Archie Mitchell in Eastenders. For the press here: I promise you, I didn't even lay a finger on him." Read more

Last Saturday the 11th, lots of people showed up to work on various projects at downtown Gainesville Hackerspace. Here's a partial list of stuff that happened:
- Randy, Jessica, Kristina, and Dan assembled shelves
- Chris touched up the ceiling paint
- Effie and Jim tested out some techniques for cleaning cargo pallets (which will eventually be made into moveable room dividers)
- Manuel, Ian, Devin, and I did various things
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things that got done. Thanks to everyone!

Just a quick note for those of you in the US who are voting on election day. We're sure you've been hearing about voter suppression efforts and cranky voting machines that are plaguing the process already.
Before you go to your polling place (here's a Google Maps mashup if you need to find your location), double check your state's ID requirements and make sure to bring proper documents. Just in case, program this number into your cell: 866-687-8683 (866-OUR-VOTE). That's the hotline number for Election Protection, a non-partisan coalition who provides voter info and advice as well as collect data on irregularities. The Spanish language hotline is 1-888-Ve-Y-Vota.
Happy voting!

Sometimes it really is all about the music. Here is the latest edition to our blog series which explores life-changing moments when opera lovers were born.
I was about nine years old when I first heard an excerpt from Faust performed by the incomparable Feodor Chaliapin. He sang the Rondo "La Veau d'Or." The recording was a scene from the opera where Mephistopheles enters the festivities and offers to sing. I have never heard a performer (before or after) who could vocally dominate a scene so completely—that the focus on him was so complete. His interpretation was so effective that, as of today, I still get shivers from hearing this particular selection. Furthermore, I am convinced that if there is a Devil it would sound exactly like Chaliapin.
Above: a recording of Feodor Chaliapin singing "La Veau d'Or" from Gounod's Faust.
Some of my early memories of classical music came from a friend's dad playing 78 vinyls of Enrico Caruso. However, the real turn-on came when, at 10 or 11, I first saw Risë Stevens of the Metropolitan Opera sing and dancing the "Habanera" from Carmen in a movie with Bing Crosby. As I look back, I realize that I inherited a love of Latin music from my mother, an accomplished pianist who played for silent movies in a small theatre in Nova Scotia. This was all the more surprising as she was a MacDonald of Scots and Irish decent, but by then Xavier Cugat had brought to North America many catchy Latin melodies, as did Edmundo Ros in England. My love affair with the opera Carmen, especially the "Habanera," has expanded to many mezzos, much to the consternation of my cousin and retired soprano, Jeannette Zarou of Düsseldorf. Though not a full-fledged subscriber, I do attend several COC performances each year, as well as a number of noon Free Concerts in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre.

Enjoy our next instalment in our blog series: The Opera That Changed My Life! The power of opera is a combination of many factors and goes far beyond the singing. These two stories showcase several other important aspects to life-changing operatic moments: lighting, costuming, and sets.
Philip George
Back in the days of the COC's tenure at the O'Keefe Centre, I grabbed a ticket in the 1990s to a performance of Ariadne auf Naxos. Having just arrived in Toronto and living on a rather spartan advertising agency salary, the ticket broke the week's budget. However, I have subsequently come to the conclusion that it was some of the best money I have ever spent. I believe the production came from the US—perhaps Houston? The singing was stellar; Richard Bradshaw and the orchestra were at the top of their game. The opera within an opera was reaching its end. I was enthralled—and then it happened. Nearing the end, as Ariadne and Bacchus sing their duet and the audience (both on stage and in the house) are collectively immersed in the singers' expressed love, a thousand twinkly stars appear. My gasp of pure joy was echoed by everyone in the audience. The use of a lighting element at precisely the right moment of a delightful performance created a transformative experience. Can opera have the power to change a life? Those tiny points of light made a compelling argument that it can.
Above: a scene from Ariadne auf Naxos, directed by Tom Diamond, in the COC's 1995/1996 season.

Many years ago I worked in a junior capacity at the Sadler's Wells (now the English National) Opera. One day I was offered a free ticket to the dress rehearsal of Der Rosenkavalier, my very first Strauss opera, at Glyndebourne that afternoon. With my boss's encouragement, I hurried over to Victoria Station for the train to Lewes, and thence to Glyndebourne. As I walked into the intimate, old Glyndebourne theatre, I sensed that this was going to be something special, and I was right. Before the performance began, we were warned that there might be a few glitches—this was, after all, still a rehearsal. But there were no glitches; it was superb. There was a dream cast: Régine Crespin, Elisabeth Söderström, Anneliese Rothenberger, Oscar Czerwenka. The singing was wonderful, and Oliver Messel's rococo sets and pastel-shade costumes were spectacular. This production didn't receive universally favourable reviews from the critics, but for me it was perfection. I must have gotten back to London very late that night, but I didn't care. I'd fallen in love with Strauss and his operas that day, a love that still endures many decades later. I'm a COC subscriber, as well as a frequent participant in the COC Opera Tours.

We all know there are many different kinds of opera lovers and it definitely takes a specific type of person to fall in love with Wagner! As our production of Götterdämmerung comes to a close, we wanted to share the moments when two opera lovers became devoted Wagnerites.
I was 22 and walking past the old amphitheatre entrance at the Royal Opera House in London. A guy waved a ticket and said "it's a good seat and only 30 bob!" I had nothing better planned and had been to a few operas but didn't know any Wagner. It started five minutes later, which is why he was in a hurry to sell. No surtitles and I didn't know what it was about. Anyway, [Birgit] Nilsson, [Gottlieb] Frick, [Wolfgang] Windgassen with Rita Hunter and Gwyneth Jones as Rhinemaidens or Norns, or both. [Georg] Solti conducting with demonic power. It blew my mind, even if I understood nothing.
I have been going to opera ever since, all over the world and averaging nearly 100 nights a year recently, trying to include a Ring Cycle every year. [Last summer I saw] the beautiful [Die] Meistersinger [von Nürnberg] opening night at Glyndebourne [Festival] with top headliners Gerry [Gerald Finley] and Michael [Schade]. It is awesome to have such marvelous Canadians everywhere!
I have been a COC subscriber for around 35 years now.
Above: a trailer for Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg as a part of the 2016 Glyndebourne Festival.
I was once cautioned against taking up with Wagner. Folks had talked of his ponderous works, his megalomania; his disregard for one's demanding schedule and attention span, but perhaps it was exactly these qualities that attracted me to him. Tristan and Isolde opened up for me the metaphysics of music, the philosophies of Schopenhauer and Buddhism, and following from that, the realization that the folly of man arises from his insatiable desires, and that love, above all else, remains a redeeming quality in him. Tristan and Isolde is purely sublime. There is really no other way to describe it. This opera comes straight from the mind of an unquestionable genius, a man who undoubtedly succumbed to his prejudices, but who set music alight, and revolutionized it for the delight of modern audiences.

I was in Cancun on vacation last week and you'd think that after a week of tacos, quesadillas, tamales, enchiladas and margaritas I'd be sick of Mexican food, but I'm not. Instead, I'm craving more. Mexican is the one cuisine I never tire of — maybe that's because Mexican dishes are so easy to make meatless? Rice and beans are a staple, of course (if you're at a restaurant, make sure you ask for vegetarian beans, sometimes they're made with animal fats) but you can substitute the meat in almost any dish for vegetables. My favorites are enchiladas stuffed with spinach or mushrooms, fajitas made with sauteed or grilled vegetables, or tacos (I prefer soft) made with just about any vegetable.
Mark Bittman's meatless tacos are filled with a creamy mixture of potatoes, corn and poblano peppers. They're filling (so your meat-loving friends won't complain) and ready in 30 minutes (so ideal for weeknight cooking). Serve them with Spicy Black Beans and Yellow Rice, or just heat up a can of (vegetarian) refried beans and open up a bag of chips and your favorite salsa for the perfect Meatless Monday meal.
Potato and Corn Tacos, AKA Sabrina's Tacos
Recipe courtesy of Mark Bittman
3 large poblano chiles
3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large baking potatoes, peeled, cooked and cubed
1 cup cooked corn kernels
1 cup crema, creme fraiche, or sour cream, optional
Red or green salsa, more crema or crumbled cotija, for garnish
Over a flame, in a broiler, on a grill or in a cast iron skillet on high heat, char skins of chiles until completely black on all sides. Put in a paper or plastic bag to steam for 15 minutes. Remove, then peel or rinse away skin; remove seeds and veins and slice into 1/2-inch-wide by 2-inch-long strips.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat lard or oil and cook onions, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until translucent and tender. Add chile strips and salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, another 3 to 4 minutes.
Add potatoes and corn, and continue cooking for a few minutes, until potatoes are heated through. Check seasonings. If you are using crema, stir in at the last minute or so of cooking. Place in warm tortillas and add condiments as you wish.
Meatless Monday News:
Any vegetarian will tell you that the #1 question they're asked is "How do you get enough protein?" Meat eaters are quite concerned that those of us who aren't gnawing on chicken legs all day are going to waste away. A balanced diet that includes plenty of grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and dairy goes a long way in ensuring that vegetarians are getting what they need, but those following a plant-based diet do need to make sure they're getting enough calcium, vitamin D, iron and zinc. Find out how to get the right amounts of these nutrients in this article on Food Network's Healthy Eats site.

cjb110 - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkurm what's the point of 4k support, when HDMI can't do it...other than that nice idea. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkFollyweird movie content is typically 24/30 fps not 60; HDMI 1.4 has enough bandwidth to do that. However, I think what the article is saying is that it can do realtime transcoding from 4k to 1080p so you only need to store the top quality copy but can watch it on non-4k devices without trouble. Reply
Zok - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkHDMI 1.4 supports 4K. Been on the Radeon 7XXX and GeForce 6XX/7XX for some time now. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkIntel Ivy Bridge could do 4K decode but not 4K output.. This has been well known for quite some time. Basically, QNAP has made sure that the decoder works in the XBMC build for its custom OS.
No transcoding necessary.. It is 4K decode, and downscale to 1080p.. what a typical Ivy Bridge PC can do.
Readeon 7xxx (at least 7750 and greater) and GeForce 640 and greater support 4K over HDMI. Reply

Record numbers of visitors turned out to enjoy Otley Show in dazzling spring sunshine.
The fine weather on Saturday encouraged thousands of people to flock to the historic agricultural event – leading to long tailbacks in the town centre.
They were treated to everything from shire horses, showjumping and livestock displays to more modern attractions, including an exhibition of US Army vehicles, complete with mounted machine guns.
Younger visitors were kept entertained by the likes of donkey rides, giant inflatables, bungee swings, a climbing wall and mini quad bikes, along with some very cute animals including pygmy goat kids.
Otley Sailing Club was also, in a first for the show, helping lots of aspiring sailors of all ages take boats out on the lake beside the Bridge End showground.
Commodore Paul Karran said: "This is the first time we've sailed on the lake for the show and we've had a fantastic response from the public and been very busy.
"A lot of members worked very hard to organise this and, with it proving so popular, we're hoping to make it an annual event.
"The conditions have been great for sailing and we've had a great time."
Live music, courtesy of artists performing at the Otley Folk Club tent and Otley Brass Band, provided a rousing backdrop to proceedings as tunes carried on the breeze.
Elsewhere, cyclists young and old pitted their leg strength against Otley Cycle Club's 500 metre challenge, on static bikes, while Otley Lions encouraged people to try their hand at smashing crockery.
Other popular attractions included spinning, woodturning and dry stone walling demonstrations, ferret races from Otley Ferret Welfare, the Sheep Show and a horseshoe making display by Yorkshire Farriers.
The many marquees, including those for trade stands, poultry and pigeons, and rabbits were also busy with visitors taking the chance to escape the sun while having a look around.
Ben Potter's Birds of Prey show, featuring giant eagles and vultures, also proved a hit, as did main arena attraction Gulliver's Carnival, by the Stampede Stunt Company.
Hundreds of people crowded around the show field to cheer on the costumed riders as they, directed by a compere on stilts, performed all kinds of death-defying equestrian feats.
Delighted show secretary Janet Raw, speaking on the day, said: "It's been a great show. We have had a lot of people, probably record numbers, coming with all the car parks full by 11.30am!
"Luckily a farmer kindly opened another field for us to use.
"I'm relieved, we were due a nice sunny day and it's very rewarding to get one.
"It's been good for all our hard working stewards too, who normally have to look out their wet weather gear."

Common is a language that is proposed in the rulebooks as a universal and, as its name suggests, the most common language in the world the game takes place in.
While every Dungeon Master has its own opinion about Common, certain solutions and explanations are encountered more often than the others:
- Common is the only language in the world. This is the easiest way to deal with it, especially if neither you nor your players are linguists and want to dive into the differences in Dwarven and Elven idioms.
- Common is the only language in the part of world used for playing. It can be safely assumed that there are indeed other languages, but they are encountered only far from the main civilisation: deep in the dwarven mountains the group of characters can meet an old sage who does not speak Common, or a horde of barbarians can have difficulty with it, otherwise everyone uses it. When using real historical settings, one can say that Common in French (if you play French musketeers), Spanish (if you play pirates of Spanish Main), or whatnot.
- Common is the language used for communication. This is the role English language plays now in the real world: most of the educated people in civilised countries can speak at least some English, no matter what is their native language.
- Common is the pidgin language used for trade. If this is the case, not everything can be said in Common. You can certainly explain that you want to buy that sword for 100 gp, but convincing a drunken suicidal gnome in the fact that his life still has some meaning might be a big problem. Your DM may not let you express some words when your character is speaking Common, or may ask you to roll a skill or ability check.
- There is no Common. Some DMs prefer to get rid of Common, because it confuses them and their players.
While there are no strict rules about Common, everyone is free to make their decisions.

Q & A — July 2001
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Zipped Against Being Zapped
|Maintenance Q & A continued
I've tried several methods to stop condensation from forming beneath the mattresses in both my boat's staterooms, including sprays and absorption devices. While some work for awhile, I find the moisture problem inevitably returns. Do you have any suggestions? O.M., via e-mail
Keeping the air circulating throughout the boat's living quarters is the solution. If you don't have a vent system, look into installing a hatch vent forward and a louver vent in the main entrance door. A small fan can also be used to move the air around. However, a problem arises since the mattress usually lies directly on top of the berth with no ventilation space beneath. Short of buying water-resistant mattresses and regularly turning them, using the remedies you mentioned is about all you can do.
new product you may want to try is from HyperVent Marine Phone:
(619) 224-5626. The company claims its product can prevent condensation
from forming beneath mattresses and cushions. Made of spun nylon that
is woven into a large, open configuration, HyperVent is placed beneath
the mattress, forming a 3/4-inch air space between the mattress and berth.
The material is manufactured in rolls 39 inches wide and can be cut to
fit. Suggested retail price is $20 per linear foot.
What's the best way to clean a paint sprayer? L.D., via e-mail
Load your sprayer with the appropriate solvent and spray the mixture into a bucket until the solvent is free of paint. After flushing, remove the nozzle and soak it in the solvent for about half an hour to make sure the orifice and nozzle are clear.
There are four reasons why this may be happening. First is low voltage to the motor. Check your batteries, terminals, and wire connections for corrosion and bad connections. In addition, make sure the wires to your MSD's motor are of the correct gauge to handle the current flow. This could lead to motor burn-out.
Another possibility is an air pocket in the MSD vent. Your holding tank vent may also be clogged, so check that as well. The third possibility is the discharge line. Checking this will entail going to the through-hull fitting and looking for a clog. If there is one, you will need to remove the discharge hose and free the obstruction. (To prevent recurrences of this, always use toilet paper specifically designed for MSDs.) If all this checks out, it's time to check your owner's manual for the correct troubleshooting procedure.
You probably have a malfunctioning check valve inside the primer bulb. Remove the bulb from the line and examine the valve to see if it has corroded from moisture inside the tank. If you can't access it, play it safe and replace the entire line. Because this type of equipment is frequently abused, periodically examine the line and bulb for cracks, breaks, restriction, and chafing as part of your regular maintenance routine. And make sure the fuel line connections are tight and securely clamped.

Flipping through Julie Richardson's new cookbook, Vintage Cakes, brings me back to my grandmother's flour-dusted, sweet-smelling kitchen. Grandma made a cake from scratch for every birthday, and their moist layers and buttercream never disappointed — even when I turned seven and all I wanted was the Little Mermaid cake I spotted at the grocery store.
Like Grandma's, Julie's cakes steer clear of fancy pastry chef tricks in favor of classic American combinations.

A STREAM of obnoxious smelling slurry was spotted running down an Oswaldtwistle lane, to the disgust of residents.
The flowing river of muck was spotted by a group of photography enthusiasts out on a walk in the sun.
John Mullen, of Foxhill Terrace, in Oswaldtwistle, said the Civic Camera Group was on a walk to the Jackhouse Nature Reserve when they had to change route.
He said: "We intended on walking up through the Pine Forest but soon abandoned the idea because of the deep mud. I suggested we retrace our steps and go up Cobbs Lane, thinking the top end of the reserve would be drier."
But he said the sight that greeted them was one of sheer horror - a river of manure.
Mr Mullen said: "From a distance it appeared as if somebody had been laying tarmac. As we approached there was a smell.
"This obnoxious smell got stronger and stronger."
Last year, Mr Mullen reported a spring-like leak that smelt like 'farm yard effluent' in the same road, he said.
He said: "As our group progressed up Cobbs Lane, I was saying it had never been so bad because now, not only was there a little spring, this was flowing from much higher up the lane and there was much more of it.
"What we thought was newly laid tarmac was newly laid manure, with the effluent running down Cobbs Lane."
Oswaldtwistle councillor Peter Britcliffe said he was contacted earlier in the week, and described the mess as 'extremely strange'.
Hyndburn mayor Judith Addison said she was helping to investigate the source of the muck.
She said: "The photos are shocking and I have seen all I want to see. As ward councillor I should definitely get involved. It's possible a septic tank at a nearby farm might have overflowed.
"I'm trying to find out more about this. Coun Britcliffe forwarded me a Facebook post from John showing the horrendous photos of lane with all the manure."
Coun Addison said she has contacted Mr Mullen requesting more information and this would be passed to the council.
