The other end of the walk is one of the smallest lakes of those along the Rotorua/Taupo fault. We couldn't find a way to get down to the water, which, in any case is polluted by a toxic algae bloom.
This picture was actually taken from the road as we drove past on our way to Whakatane.

The bush itself is lovely, and it's a gentle walk. This rata tree is at a brilliant stage; the long lianas start their lives high in the branches of the host tree and grow downwards, planting roots in the forest floor. Then the lianas thicken into wood, the stage you can see here. Gradually they grow round the host and it dies, leaving the hollow trunk of the mature rata.
This is the first stretch of bush where we have seen lots of self-seeded palms; further south they have been individual trees somewhat isolated and thus away from intense competition. Now the climate is getting milder and they are growing vigorously among the ferns and other trees.
|Places and people
This fairly short track, originally known as Te Tahuna is very old. In the first quarter of the seventeenth century, chieftainess Hinehopu used it to travel between her lands at each lake. Less peacefully, in 1823 the warrior Hongi used it as portage for war canoes, enabling him to launch a surprise attack on Mokoia, the island off Rotorua. (He won, and the iwi of Mokoia were enslaved, an important step in the christianising of the Maori of the area.)
Along the track (actually on the main road, though the track itself runs through the bush) is this large matai tree. The story goes that Hinehopu was hidden under this tree by her mother when she was small, and so successfully evaded her enemies. This makes the tree about 400 years old. Later, she met Pikiao II under the tree; she married him and their union gave rise to Ngati Pikiao tribe, who agreed that the tree is sacred.
The tree is said to influence the weather in favour of the traveller who performs a specific ceremony there. We don't know the form, but said the words in hope, given the poor weather we've seen. Actually, until the time of writing (Saturday, five days later) it has worked quite well, giving us a brief respite from the rain. Now it's back with a vengeance: obviously our travels have gone on long enough for the tree's protection to wear thin.
|Places and people
Through a complicated family tree, Beryl, Pip's mother, had recently been contacted by Annette, the wife of her cousin Lindsay. (We think this makes him Pip's first cousin.) Pip had an address for them but not a phone number, so we drove round Selwyn Heights looking for them.
Ta dah! As we walked up their drive, Lindsay was in their yard preparing their van for a few days away fishing. We were just in time.
It was great to piece together some elements of the jigsaw and hear stories of the family. As Lindsay and Annette were about to go away, they donated some potatoes, tomatoes and the yellowest lemons to Puff's stores. All very gratefully received: many thanks, guys!
|Places and people
We were lucky: a craft market was held in Rotorua today, despite the rain, and we found two sources of treasure.
Bob Collins worked as a Forest Ranger, based in Minginui with a patch including Whirinaki for many, many years up till 1987. In the course of those years he collected many burrs and sections of the trees as they were felled, rescuing them from the saw mills that were then active. After retirement he took up wood turning, using the thousands of pieces of wood from those wonderful trees to make bowls. These two are mostly made from rimu.
We are very sad for the trees that were felled, but glad that this wood, rather than simply being burnt (as it otherwise would have been) has been turned into beautiful and useful pieces.
Our other taonga (treasure) was found at the stall of Iris Herewini, who sells pounamu (greenstone), bone and paua jewellery made by relatives. Both these are made by her brother-in-law, who lives in Hokatika. We had promised ourselves pounamu pieces as part of this trip and had looked at so many (including in Hokatika), but these were the ones that spoke to us.
Both are made of kahurangi (cloak of the sky) greenstone, which takes its meaning from the cloud shapes within it.
Iris was great to meet and talk with. She told us so much about the greenstone and took so much time to make sure these were the right pieces for each of us, had the right cords on, were set at the right length and so on. We spent a very happy hour talking with her, and thank her again for her friendship.
|Places and people
This is the splendid Anglican building, built in the wood framed, clean style that is a hallmark of the older European buildings in the town. Inside it is amazing fusion of Maori and European spiritual art; the pillars, pews and beams are a riot of Maori carving with tiki and taniwha. The stained glass is exceptional, together with a magnificent engraving of Jesus walking on Galilee, positioned such that he appears to be walking on Lake Rotorua. (Photos are forbidden inside the church).
St Faith's faces a large marae in a lovely complex of buildings right on the water front. We weren't sure it was acceptable to photograph the marae without permission so we will wait for an opportunity when we know it is acceptable.
|Places and people
This is the main town park in Rotarua, which sets on the edge of an eponymous lake. The park is full of thermal pools, setting forth clouds of steam. We don't know why some of the trees round this pool have died.
The town has created a free foot pool where you can rest your weary feet after wandering around town. Very welcome! We sat there for a bit, then returned to our holiday park, where we could get into togs and fully luxuriate in geothermally warmed sulphurous water.
|Places and people
This is before our feet really started hurting, at a fab tree, which appears to have created this frame of its own accord.

23/02/2008, Rotorua
We made our way back to the heart of the geothermal area, the town of Rotorua. Here Pip was delighted to find greedy pukeko who begged endlessly. These birds are used as a general illustration of silly clowning all over NZ, and their antics fully deserve their reputation.
|Places and people
Nowhere on the walk were we far from the sound of water. The Whirinaki Falls tumble into this beautiful pool, as seen from the path above.
Sarah used this as a training session for her plans to walk the Queen Charlotte Track later in this trip. So she filled the backpack up with some of the heaviest stuff in Puff and walked quite fast. Pip, who has no intention of tackling a multi-day tramp, womanfully came too, with a lighter pack. However, Sarah might be training alone some of the time!
|Places and people
Above us, the height of a tall building, air plants are making their homes.
This is a very important forest for the local iwi (tribe), who have lived here as long as the oldest trees in the bush and have a profound spiritual relationship with it. The village is now responsible for the conservation and enhancement of the Forest Park and have a large scale programme incorporating improvements in the school, medical research and a management-learning programme called Tipu Ake.
(see www.whirinaki.org.nz/minginui/index.htm)
|Places and people
Further east, outside the tiny village of Minignui, deep in the World Heritage forests of Te Urewera, is the stretch of bush known as Whirinaki Forest Park. Our walk book recommended a nine kilometre hike along a loop track to the waterfall, and declared this finest stretch of podocarp forest in the country. We are inclined to agree. It is full of magnificent trees, and epitomises the layering of mature rainforest.
This picture barely begins to capture the majesty of the climactic podocarp, the great groves of punga ferns and the lush shrubs below. The birds are busy throughout the trees, and all the time leaves fall gently.

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
A Stage-Based Expert System for Teen Dating Violence Prevention (Phase I)
Project Period: 9/15/05-3/14/06
Principal Investigator: Deborah Levesque, PhD
Pro-Change Behavior Systems, Inc.
PO Box 755
West Kingston, RI 02892
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) accounts for 26 percent of violence related injuries among women presenting in hospital emergency departments and 30 percent of female homicides. Early to mid-adolescence provide excellent "windows of opportunity" for preventing intimate partner violence. However, evidence supporting traditional, school-based programs for preventing teen dating violence is mixed. This proposed project will use expert system technology to integrate best practices for teen dating violence prevention with the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), the "stage model" to develop an interactive computer-administered change program that delivers individualized intervention sessions and exercises tailored to stage of change and other individual characteristics.
Researchers will develop and validate measures of each of the major dimensions of the TTM, develop a working prototype of the expert system intervention for teen dating violence prevention, and determine the feasibility of the approach in a pilot test. High school students will participate in focus groups to generate ideas for the TTM measures (n=60) and to provide feedback on the intervention materials (n=60). Investigators will conduct cognitive interviews to ensure that TTM instructions and questions are interpreted as intended (n=12), and will administer usability tests to make certain that the expert system intervention is easily navigable and provides a coherent intervention experience (n=12). Six hundred students will complete surveys for measure development, and 100 will participate in the pilot test. Feasibility of this approach will be established if the intervention can be delivered as planned during classroom sessions to at least 90% of pilot test participants, and if at least 75% of pilot test participants provide an overall rating of 4 or higher (i.e., provide scores in the "good" to "excellent" range) on a measure of acceptability and perceived use. Positive project outcomes will better inform prevention efforts for teen dating violence and will result in effective programs that can be tailored according to the needs of the individual.

Arrive to Guatemala City today where you are met and transferred to the colonial city of Antigua for the night. Overnight.
Volcan Fuego rises to the roof of the world above the streets of Antigua below. Once the capital of Guatemala and all Central America, Antigua resembles a living ruin. Mammoth churches and palaces tell the story of Antigua's past glory, and restored facades speak of a bright future for this wonderful city. This morning tour the city and admire Antigua's gilded cathedrals. The afternoon is yours to rent mountain bikes to explore the countryside, visit a coffee finca or macadamia nut plantation, or just people watch in the main plaza.
Today rise early for a few hours drive to the famous market of Chichicastenango. Its large market brings villagers from throughout the region, who often arrive the night before and sleep on blankets in the market square. Rising early, they set out their colorful fruits, vegetables and handicrafts.
Next continue on foot to nearby Pascual Abaj, a ceremonial sight located on a small hill about a fourth mile walking distance from the Santo Tomas church. Here you will witness a local Maya shaman carry out a ritual on behalf of other locals in the Maya language. Your guide will help explain in depth the elements of the ritual and its purpose. You may even take part in a spiritual cleansing with the shaman as part of the experience.
This afternoon you travel next to the shores of beautiful Lake Atitlan, a deep caldera lake flanked by three majestic volcanoes. A passenger boat takes you across the azure-colored water to the charming lodge in the village of Santiago Atitlan.
Today you will take a scenic boat ride across Lake Atitlan to the village of San Juan La Laguna. Here you can visit the women's textile cooperative to see hand weaving and the natural dye process used to make their famous petates, woven mats made from lake reeds. Also you will visit the home studios of the celebrated naïf painters. From here continue to the village of Santiago and enjoy lunch in a local hotel and tour the and learn about the textiles, spiritualism and beliefs of the T'zutujil Maya. It's also worthwhile to visit Maximon and leave an offering to this curious deity. The rest of the day is free to explore as you wish. Go canoeing on the lake, horseback riding to a nearby cloudforest, or rent a mountain bike.
This morning you head to take a tour to visit families supported by As Green as it Gets (GAIG), a small independent coffee producers charity promoting environmentally responsible agriculture in Guatemala. You will have the opportunity to work side by side with small coffee farmers in their daily coffee processing, either pick, pulp, ferment, wash, dry, trilla, sort, or grade the coffee, depending on the season. You may even help roast the coffee over an open fire and help grind it by hand before sampling it for yourself. (Coffee season in Nov – Mar. By taking this tour, we are donating to GAIG).
Continue to Antigua this evening and overnight.
Set out early this morning to the quaint colonial town of Copan Ruinas. Just over a km from the same-name Maya ruins, today spend your time exploring this inviting town. Your 5 hour journey will take you across the Guatemalan border and into the lush mountains of Honduras. This afternoon will be yours to explore the cobblestone streets and archeology museums - its exhibits include painted pottery, intricate jade carvings, ancient glyphs and tomb of a Maya priest. You can also take a hike to remote waterfalls, visit local hotsprings, or explore the surrounding coffee plantations.
Copan's sprawling ruins provide insight into how this fascinating culture once lived. Its massive structures and skillfully carved stonework are impressive reminders of the remarkable and advanced Maya civilization. Today you will head out on a half day guided tour of the ruins to discover Copan's enormous temples, plazas and monuments. Ornate stalaes divulge the astronomical and mathematical wisdom of the Maya. Enjoy the peaceful nature trails and wildlife that inhabit the area. After lunch, visit the local Bird Park, housing rescued tropical birds and working to educate others about the importance of conservation.
Set out this morning for the 5 hour drive back across the Guatemala border through the central desert region to Rio Dulce, a lush tropical area. Visit the UNESCO site of Quirigua, a small Maya temple site located along the way.
Once you arrive in Rio Dulce, take part in a cruise down the Rio Dulce river through the central canyon and down to the Garifuna village of Livingston on the Caribbean coast. Overnight.
Cruise the Rio Dulce river back to the bridge and meet up with your 5 hour transfer north to Yaxha National Park. Explore this atmospheric lakeside Maya complex while enjoying a snack. View the sunset over the rainforest canopy from atop the main temple.
Set out today for your all night camping adventure in the site of Uaxactun. This site is famous for holding the oldest complete Maya astronomical complex yet to be found, and is one of the longest occupied Maya sites. Chicleros (gum collectors) now live here, as many of Uaxactun's residents make their living from gathering forest products such as chicle (gum), allspice, and xate palm leaves. Tour the site and community today with your guide who is from the area and is an expert on the ruin site. Learn more about the chicle process and various crafts in the community, as well as meander through their small archeology museum. At sunset time you can head to the lookout tower for possible views of the ruins of Tikal rising above the jungle.
After sunset drinks, head back to the campsite for a simple candlelight dinner this evening. Spend this night in tents enjoying the sounds of the jungle and possible festivities putting you to sleep!
Please note - a number of other travelers may also be camping out at the campsite this evening for the solstice. Please be prepared for many people, and possible festivities, dancing, music for the duration of the evening. If you would prefer to overnight in a hotel in the region, please let us know in advance and it can be arranged at an additional cost. This would require foregoing the sunrise on Day 11.
Early this morning awake for a beautiful sunrise over the ruins. Enjoy the local festivities and see the sun align with the temples on this once in a lifetime morning!
Next head on to see Tikal's towering pyramids rising above the thick jungle canopy. The ancient Maya began building this city around 600 B.C., and for the next 1500 years the area was an important religious, scientific, and political center. Pyramids to honor dead kings were built, administrative buildings rose, storage houses appeared and houses for royalty were carved out of the jungle. Tikal became one of the greatest centers of Maya culture and sprawled over 46 square miles with more than 4000 structures in the core city center alone. Today, the pristine forest engulfing the ruined city is home to howler and spider monkeys, white lipped peccary, brocket deer, coati-mundis, toucans, scarlet macaws, parrots, ocelots and the seldom seen jaguar. Today you explore the ruins with an experienced guide before flying to Guatemala City where you overnight.
Please note the Tikal National Park closes at 2 PM today.

Localizing the sources of performance problems in large enterprise networks is extremely challenging. Dependencies are numerous, complex and inherently multi-level, spanning hardware and software components across the network and the computing infrastructure. To exploit these dependencies for fast, accurate problem localization, we introduce an Inference Graph model, which is well-adapted to user-perceptible problems rooted in conditions giving rise to both partial service degradation and hard faults. Further, we introduce the Sherlock system to discover Inference Graphs in the operational enterprise, infer critical attributes, and then leverage the result to automatically detect and localize problems. To illuminate strengths and limitations of the approach, we provide results from a prototype deployment in a large enterprise network, as well as from testbed emulations and simulations. In particular, we find that taking into account multi-level structure leads to a 30{\%} improvement in fault localization, as compared to two-level approaches.}, author = {Paramvir Bahl and Ranveer Chandra and Albert Greenberg and Srikanth Kandula and David Maltz and Ming Zhang}, booktitle = {SIGCOMM}, month = {August}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.}, title = {Towards Highly Reliable Enterprise Network Services via Inference of Multi-level Dependencies}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=73112}, year = {2007}, }

Need another reason to save 16.62 percent of your yearly salary for retirement? Look no further than these awesome retirees.
(Photo Credit: poweron/Flickr)
We've already talked at length about the importance of saving for retirement. Alyssa Coppelman of Slate interviewed Kendrick Brinson, author of the book "Sun City: Life After Life." Brinson's book examines Sun City, Arizona, the first planned retirement community. Its residents are dedicated to the idea that life doesn't end at retirement.
To prove it, the community boasts 120 clubs, daily events, classes, and activities, and even a squad of cheerleaders called the Sun City Poms. All of the members are aged 61 and over.
"We've all seen photo stories about aging before, and we know the stereotype of a grandparent sitting in a rocking chair as they age," Brinson says. "What I love about Sun City is that this place is spring break for the elderly. ...I wanted to flip the stereotype of the wheelchair-bound granny on its head because that's not how everyone has to age. Just because you're 75 doesn't mean you can't learn synchronized swimming and be really good at it."
Sun City was founded on January 1, 1960 on the site of a former ghost town, and was popular from the start. It's now home to over 30,000 residents, including the aforementioned cheerleaders and synchronized swimmers.
"What makes Sun City unique, other than the fact that it is an actual city of tens of thousands of retirees, is that almost everyone is active in one way or another," Brinson says.

Nine Filipinos have so far been apprehended following the start of Malaysia's crackdown on illegal immigrants last Sept. 1, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) disclosed yesterday.
The DFA said based on a report from the Philippine Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, eight of the Filipinos were arrested by Malaysian immigration authorities in Labuan Federal Territory while the other one was apprehended in Bintulu, Sarawak.
The embassy already advised Filipinos to fully complete their immigration documentation and always carry proper identification documents in light of the crackdown.
"We wish to remind our Filipino nationals to have proper documents, notably work permit or passport with valid visa, and carry it with them in case of immigration checks, in order to avoid inconvenience," Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia J. Eduardo Malaya said in an earlier statement.
"Also, Filipinos who wish to enter Malaysia for work should have approved work permits or similar papers as they start their jobs here."
According to news reports, at least 2,433 illegal immigrants have so far been arrested since the crackdown commenced last Sunday.
Those apprehended are mostly Indonesians (717), Myanmar nationals (555), Bangladeshi nationals (387), and Nepali nationals (229).
Last Monday, Ambassador Malaya discussed with Minister for Home Affairs Dato' Sri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last Monday the concerns of Filipinos in Malaysia, including access to education by Filipino school-aged children.
Ambassador Malaya also requested humane treatment for Filipinos who may be affected by the campaign against illegal immigrants. (Roy C. Mabasa)

Christmas Cancelled as a Security Measure
Ellis Island - The three wise men were arrested today attempting to enter the country. The Iraqi nationals were carrying massive amounts of flammable substances known as "frankincense" and "myrrh." While not explosives themselves, experts revealed that these two substances could be used as a fuse to detonate a larger bomb. The three alleged terrorists were also carrying gold, presumably to finance the rest of their mission.
Also implicated in the plot were two Palestinians named Joseph and Mary. An anonymous source close to the family overheard Mary bragging that her son would "bring down the mighty from their thrones and lift up the lowly." In what appears to be a call to anarchy, the couple claims their son will someday "help prisoners escape captivity."
"These people match our terrorist profile perfectly," an official source reported.
All of the suspects claimed they heard angels singing of a new era of hope for the afflicted and poor. As one Wall Street official put it, "These one-world wackos are talking about overturning the entire economic and political hierarchy that holds the civilized world together. I don't care what some angel sang; God wants the status quo - by definition."

Ready in 45 minutes
Adapted from Baking With Dorie (CulinApp, 2011)
50 people want to try | 48 have favorited
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the center. Butter a 9- to 10-inch (12-cup) Bundt pan.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and ginger powder, if you're using it instead of the grated ginger.
3. Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat together the remaining butter and both sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat for 1 minute after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
4. Reduce the speed to low and add the pumpkin, apple and grated ginger, if using it. Don't be concerned if the batter looks curdled. Add the dry ingredients, mixing only until they are incorporated. With a rubber spatula, stir in the cranberries and pecans. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
5. Bake directly on the oven rack for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding, then cool to room temperature on the rack. Serve in thick slices.
Yield: 12 or more servings.
Note: For maple icing, sift 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar into a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Add syrup little by little, until you have an icing that runs nicely off the tip of the spoon. Put the cooled cake on wax paper and drizzle the icing from the tip of the spoon over it. Let the icing set for a few minutes.
Note: Wrapped well, the cake will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days, at which point it's good for toasting; or freeze for up to 2 months.

Wine writer Paul Gregutt offers this selection of wines for holiday entertaining.
Here come the holidays, and with them the yin-yang of stress and celebration. Putting great food on the table is a big part of the fun, but finding wines to go with the food — that's where the stress begins. So let's make it easy. Here are 10 great wine ideas for all your holiday entertaining.
Wines for casual entertaining
Riesling is the universal white wine, especially when done in a dry style. Chateau Ste. Michelle's 2009 Dry Riesling is listed at $10 but often sells for less. It's loaded with tart fruit flavors of apple, pear, grapefruit and lemon, and it is versatile enough for a wide range of appetizers and snack foods.
Castle Rock is a California-based producer that makes a number of wines from both Oregon and Washington grapes. My favorite is the Castle Rock 2008 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Selling for around $10, it is a dark, tannic, earthy wine with black cherry fruit and highlights of licorice and black tea. It will take on anything hearty, from burgers to prime rib.

Most Read Stories
Get the party started wines
Nothing says "party" like a bottle of bubbly. Champagnes and Champagne-style wines are also quite versatile, and especially good with salty appetizers from chips to caviar. My favorite budget bubblies this year come from Cupcake Vineyards — a Blanc de Blanc Chardonnay and a Brut Rosé Pinot Noir, both sourced from the Lacheteau winery in France's Loire valley. These are non-vintage wines, made by the Champagne method, and priced at $15.
For your splurge Champagne ask your retailer to recommend a grower Champagne, preferably from a Grand Cru vineyard. These are small production wines, produced and bottled by the family that grows the grapes, rather than by a huge Champagne house. Importers Terry Theise and Robert Kacher bring in some very fine examples. I most recently enjoyed a 2004 A. Margaine "Special Club" Brut (imported by Theise) and a pair of Kacher Selections — the Lamiable 2004 Les Meslaines Grand Cru Brut and the Pascal Doquet NV Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc. Expect to pay $35 to $75 for most grower Champagnes, though during the holiday season you'll often find the best deals.
Main course white wines
If you are drinking white wine with your main course, it is probably turkey. Why not push the envelope by opening a dry and peppery/spicy Grüner Veltliner from Austria? Look for the word Kamptal on the label — a prime growing region, with the hot day/cold night climate that gives our Washington wines their spark. The 2009 Brundlmayer "Kamptaler Terrassen" Grüner Veltliner is priced just over $20 and worth it, but you can find other good examples for less. Don't worry about older vintages. If stored properly, they can improve for up to a decade.
For an equally delicious local offering, grab Willow Crest's 2009 Pinot Gris. This is estate-grown from some of the oldest Pinot Gris vines in Washington, with vivid fruit flavors of pear and apple, emphasized with racy acidity. It retails for around $10.
Main course red wines
The third Thursday of November is when the Beaujolais Nouveau arrives from France. My advice is to skip the Nouveau and grab a bottle of Beaujolais from the 2009 vintage. This is the vintage that 77-year-old Georges Duboeuf called "the vintage of a lifetime." Look for a Beaujolais-Villages from Duboeuf or almost any producer in 2009. An especially fine value is the 2009 Beaujolais-Villages from Paul Etienne ($10).
Oregon Pinot Noir is generally a budget-buster, but there is a surplus of grapes and wineries are scrambling to offer at least one wine under $20. King Estate has introduced a brand called Acrobat, and the 2009 Acrobat Pinot Noir, list-priced at $18, has clean varietal flavors and a pleasing finish with dusty, chocolate undertones. This is a wine you will want to decant as it is quite young and needs oxygen to open up the flavors.
Decadent dessert wines
Washington's Pacific Rim winery specializes in Rieslings, in every style, but they also make a little-known Framboise. This fortified raspberry dessert wine comes in half bottles and sells for around $15. The raspberries are grown at a Mount Vernon berry farm; this is like a sip of summer. Drink Framboise from your smallest wine glasses, and serve it with vanilla ice cream or chocolate truffles.
The best value in a dessert wine that I've tasted this year is Forgeron's 2008 Late Harvest Sémillon ($14 for a half bottle). A perfect ending to any holiday celebration.

- - O'Day 30 Swing Keel Rigging (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/oday/60041-oday-30-swing-keel-rigging.html)
O'Day 30 Swing Keel Rigging
New to sailing I decided to start with a small boat. :) I have figured out the sailing part although finer points I am still learning. The boat has a swing keel and to raise / lower there is a line that runs across the cabin back to the cockpit. Raising the keel requires considerable effort, there are no blocks, winches, etc... just a rope and a cleat. Is this normal? I suspect that there should be a couple blocks or some arrangement so as to not risk breaking your back to pull up the keel.
The other possibility is that there is something binding inside the keel.
When the boat was hauled out and surveyed the keel looked fine.
The family really enjoys the boat and she is beautiful.
Any help is appreciated.
Rusty welcome to the "net"! I've a O30 but deep keel not CB. I beleive the swing K is "neutral balance" rudy at D&R marine dot com should know the answer.
Thank-you Denise,
I will call D&R tomorrow. If it is true that it is neutral then there is an issue with the rope and cable assembly. Someone mentioned that perhaps the wrong knot was tied last and it is too fat, thus it binds.
This would make sense as when I untie the line from the cleat, some time later I will hear a clunk as, I assume the swing keel falls down.
or critters and barnacles?
Oday 30 swing keel
I have the centerboard version of the Oday 30, too. It is not weighted, but it is not neutral buoyancy, either, and can use a little help in terms of mechanical advantage to lift it. When I bought the boat several years ago, it had a 2:1 tackle on the cabin top to give additional purchase, and wasn't too hard to raise, but sometime later, since I was adding self-tailing cabin top winches for spinnaker halyards anyway, I ran the tail through a clutch and then to the starboard cabin top winch. Now raising the board is really easy. Here's a picture of the centerboard:
On the same subject, be careful about using a Nicopress fitting on the bottom of the centerboard pendant. After having to replace it every 6-8 months, I suddenly realized it was acting as sacrificial anode, and being eaten away just like a zinc. Next time I replace it, I'm going to try a stainless fork.
Re: O'Day 30 Swing Keel Rigging
Hello! This is my first post on sailnet so here I go? I have a 1980 Oday 30 win a CB. It too has the line over the cabin and a Kleet to tie off. It isn't very difficult to retract because as you have read it is a neutral balance. Maybe barnacles are the problem. The guy who dives on all the sailboats by me I. The Long Island Sound says that the barnacles can build up and almost make it impossible to retract. He said he manufactured a long angled rod to get up I side the keel and clear the unit. Good luck!
Re: O'Day 30 Swing Keel Rigging
Hi Jim! Welcome to sailnet! you may want to check dates on some discussions before you answer. This one is 4 years old :)
Re: O'Day 30 Swing Keel Rigging
I added a block and rigged so as to have a 2:1 advantage and it works fine now. Had boat hauled and bottom cleaned last year and there was no sign of obstruction.

Best Answer rahlquist , 20 May 2013 - 08:10 AM
Sorry to revive an old topic but I didn't want to leave this hanging out there in case anyone else wanted to try it, saw my post, and gave up. No matter what I did I still seemed to have issues with this location. It would work fine initially but any sort of prolonged use (more than a few seconds) would cause a steady drop in traffic. I did install DD-WRT on the router and this didnt help and was showing me signal strengths in the 40% and above ranges. The primary use for this router was to be for the craft room across the hall and the Eye-Fi card in my wifes camera and even the Eye-Fi card was dropping off in the middle of transferring a picture. My only thought was the coax portion was loading up and causing issues, last night I figured out I was wrong.
We were watching a DVR'ed program and I was working on updating the ROM on my Nook. As I kicked off the d/l I was connected to the AP in the bedroom. Shortly after this I noticed the surround speaker on my nightstand dropping out. So I switched my nook over to the wifi from the router downstairs and the dropouts ceased.
Today I disconnected the wireless transmitter for the BDV-E770W and turned off the receiver for it (in case it also transmittted) then I picked up the digital camera with the Eye-Fi card and took a picture, it uploaded lightning fast to the wife's computer. I ran some more tests and I can now get full 30/4Mbps broadband speeds out of this location in the house. All I can guess is that the Sony wireless surround was swamping out the Wifi signals, and perhaps the transmitter worked like our wifi and cell transmitters and when it met interference it would increase its output power and drown out the wifi or perhaps it would just retransmit (assuming the audio data was sent digitally to their remote surround box)... Here are the specs for the wireless surround.
Wireless transceiver (EZW-RT10/EZWRT10A)Communication system S-AIR Specificationversion 1.0Frequency band 2.4000 GHz - 2.4835 GHzModulation method DSSSPower requirements DC 3.3 V, 350 mADimensions (approx.) 50 mm × 13 mm × 60 mm(2 in × 17/32 in × 2 3/8 in) (w/h/d)Mass (approx.) 24 g (1 oz)
So I know that there is limited frequencies available for many things, but for crying out loud, WTH would Sony choose the dominant wifi signal band for a wireless speaker setup? For now we have no surround in the MBR because my sanity over the wifi issues we have had takes precedent. In short DECA appears to be working jsut fin as it always had it was the wifi attached to it getting drowned out by the surround receiver 2 feet away. So now I guess since there is a connected Coax drop in the craft room I will just get another DECA end point and move the Wifi AP into that room.Go to the full post

Punk rock movies are usually a very mixed bag (see this year's "CBGB") but with colorful characters and big emotions, filmmakers are going to keep flocking to the subject matter. Thus, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini ("American Splendor," "Cinema Verite") are going to turn it up with "Ten Thousand Saints." The pair adapted the Eleanor Henderson novel, set in 1980s New York City (of course), that tells the story of "Vermont teenager Jude, who moves in with his hippie dad in NYC after his best friend Teddy overdoses. There he falls in with the no drugs, no sex, no meat straight-edge hardcore punk scene of the East Village." Hailee Steinfeld is on board in the role of Eliza, "who becomes pregnant with Teddy's child and leans on his brother Johnny and Jude for support." [Deadline]
Last fall when "Tarzan" was first gearing up, Samuel L. Jackson was eyed for a role and then everything shut down. Now, with the movie revived, the actor is swinging back to the blockbuster about a man in a loincloth who leaps from trees. Alexander Skarsgard and Christoph Waltz are attached to star in the movie, and we presume Jackson will slot out the part of the ex-mercenary sidekick of Tarzan he was originally linked to. David Yates will direct though Warner Bros. haven't yet officially greenlit this one. [Variety]
So, that Chilean miner movie has been coming together, and the final cast looks like this: Juliette Binoche, James Brolin, Oscar Nunez, Antonio Banderas, Kate Del Castillo, Lou Diamond Phillips, Mario Casas, Juan Pablo Raba, Tenoch Huerta, Jacob Vargas, Marco Trevino and Alejandro Goic. Binoche actually replaces Jennifer Lopez who had a scheduling conflict with "American Idol" and that's probably the only time in history we'll ever type those words."The 33" will shoot on location in Chile to tell the true story from 2010 "of the collapsed Copiapo copper mine and the 33 miners who remained trapped more than 2,000 feet underground." [Deadline]
Amanda Seyfried will get into the dating game with "He's F-ing Perfect." The comedy project which once interested Emma Stone "follows an Internet-savvy woman who convinces her friend to dump her new boyfriend so she can date him instead." Funny or Die veteran Jake Szymanski will direct. [Variety]
Lastly, Kevin Hart will get in the game with "Ballers." The comedian will co-write and star in the film about "a man who lives in the shadow of his NBA superstar brother (to be played by LeBron James), but gets a chance to prove himself when he and some pals attend a weekend fantasy basketball camp in Miami." A director is being sought with an eye to shoot next summer. [Deadline]
