WASHINGTON (Sep. 18)
Rep. John J. Rooney, New York Democrat, today made known that the House Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, restored an anti-bias clause deleted by the State Department from the Foreign Aid Act for fiscal 1963 appropriations.
Rep. Rooney got the subcommittee, on which he is a member, to restore the anti-bias wording aimed at the Arab states. The subcommittee, headed by Rep. Otto E. Passman, Louisiana Democrat, reported out the bill today and revealed that drastic reductions had been made in funds requested by the Administration.
The clause inserted by the Subcommittee, and accepted by the full committee in the bill sent to the floor, said: "It is the sense of Congress that any attempt by foreign nations to create distinctions because of their race or religion among American citizens in the granting of personal or commercial access or any other rights otherwise available to U. S. citizens generally is repugnant to our principles; and in all negotiations between the United States and any foreign state arising as a result of funds appropriated under this title these principles shall be applied as the President may determine."
Rep. Rooney said he insisted on this wording because he felt that if an Arab state discriminated against American citizens purely on the basis of religion the state should be denied U. S. assistance financed by American taxpayers. "

Arafat's main reason for postponing his declaration is the likely Israeli response, which would be to seize land and close the borders to Palestinians working in Israel. Arafat could not afford to allow Israel to punish ordinary Palestinians without giving them anything concrete in return. Also, the foreign friends on whom Arafat depends for political and financial support warned him against going ahead. The Europeans and Japanese warned they wouldn't fund the new state unless it was the outcome of negotiations with Israel.
There's no reason to expect any progress in renewed negotiations. In the statement postponing statehood, the Palestinian Council reiterated that there would be no compromise on Jerusalem, refugees, borders and settlements. And Barak's domestic situation leaves him no room to make any further compromises. So there's no reason to expect an agreement, although they'll keep talking as a way of keeping the situation calm.
In fact, they'll keep talking for a long time to come, now, but both sides are going to return to their domestic problems. Barak has to survive in power, and Arafat, too, faces a growing challenge. The Central Council also voted for the first time to hold new parliamentary and presidential elections, and the Palestinian Authority has previously said it would hold municipal elections. That could present a crisis for Arafat, not only because he's not accustomed to dealing with elected representatives. Hamas has indicated it will participate in municipal elections, and it's likely to win at least 30-40 percent of the vote. Elections would provide an opportunity for ordinary Palestinians to express their dissatisfaction with their leaders. Which is the reason some people don't believe he'll go ahead with them.

The way the owner of Mine Games sees things, a yacht's sundeck should be more than just a place to get a tan. For the sundeck of his new, 164-foot, four-deck megayacht from Mississippi-based Trinity Yachts, the owner had interior designer Patrick Knowles create spaces that would facilitate conversations between passengers—large groups of them. Hence the 10-person dining table in the middle of the deck (above and right) and the forward sunpad (also visible in both photos) with its yellow-striped bolster cushions that follow the contours of the yacht's windshield, allowing guests to sit up and chat while enjoying unobstructed views. "An entire group of charter guests can sit on the sunpad," says Capt. J.D. Ducanes. "They can have hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at the table. And we installed two umbrellas and an awning for shade. If you've been in the Exumas in the summer, you know that's a must."
Refining Moments
Hand-painted designs appear throughout Mine Games, including in the main salon and skylounge. Artist Martin Karadzhov of Luxury Murals in Pompano Beach, Fla., who previously had worked in the owner's home but never on a yacht, took color and styling cues from Knowles' marble floor designs—which include some 20 varieties of stone—as well as from the yacht's furnishings, which were chosen before painting began. Knowles, in turn, incorporated complementary design details such as the custom-made, gold-embossed paper on the main salon's pilasters and the gold-leaf fretwork on the rectangular air-conditioning vents between the salon's windows and ceiling. "The fretwork served as an architectural element while at the same time concealing the air-conditioning grille," Knowles says. "We brought attention to it instead of trying to make it disappear. Above all else, the owner asked me to remember 'detail, detail, detail.' "
The elegant sofas in the salon left Capt. Ducanes concerned that guests might find the space overly formal, but that has not been the case. "The sofas are ornate, but very comfortable," he says. "You can put your feet up."
Chat Room
According to Capt. Ducanes, the most popular dining area on Mine Games is the deck table outside the skylounge. "We probably use the table in the main salon about a fourth of the time," he says. "Both the tables are round, allowing everyone to communicate easily." Knowles made the formal dining area (above) seem more intimate by placing the wall sconces about six inches lower than those in the adjacent main salon. The alabaster chandelier situated close to the table also is intended to serve this purpose. In addition, the dining room's round tray ceiling creates a space clearly separate from the salon, which has a square tray ceiling. On the deck outside the skylounge, the crew can encourage congeniality by removing leafs from the table and lowering it to cocktail level.
Chamber Music
You enter the two-level master suite through the owner's office, which connects to a private sitting area with a 9-foot ceiling. The king-size bed, situated a few steps up, faces windows that offer a 180-degree view over the yacht's bow. The paneling is made of cherry wood with bubinga and burled maple inlays. The light-colored material on the sides of the bed's headboard serves as a counterpoint to the dark wood in the room's extensive joinery work. "The material is Majilite, a faux leather, embroidered with a chenille texture," Knowles says. "I wanted something that was whimsical and free-form to break up the room's more formal elements." Knowles also placed wrought iron railings on both sides of the bed, an unusual design touch for a yacht.
An even more uncommon feature can be found beneath the boat's aft swim platform: a two-person submersible, the first ever for a charter vessel. Capt. Ducanes is happy to take guests for rides in it.

Presidential Candidates Health Experts Answer MetroHealth Patients' Questions About Proposals
Samuel Cardona is one of hundreds of patients who visit MetroHealth system on a given day. Like many of the patients that come here, Cardona has no health insurance.
Samuel Cardona: I went and got into my own business. Just didn't work out. The economy got to me and I had to close my business down.
MetroHealth also takes in many Medicare and Medicaid patients. The hospital struggles to break even. So does Cardona's family. In terms of politics, health care policy for him is personal.
Samuel Cardona: I'm just wanting to know if they can get prescription prices down?
The candidates say they can by allowing the reimportation of drugs and accelerating the introduction of generics. But that's just a tiny part of the candidates' overall plans, about which many at Metro had lots of questions. Here's Dr. E. Harry Walker, director of Metro's Center for Community Health.
Dr. E. Harry Walker: How do you provide high quality care? How do you provide it at a cost that people or the government can afford to pay? And how do you provide access?
Both campaigns have a similar answer to those questions, at first.
Dr. Michael Burgess: Of course Senator McCain is very concerned about affordability overall.
Dr. Steve Nissen: There is an absolutely clear commitment from Senator Obama to allow the 47 million Americans that are now not covered by health insurance to be covered.
But the difference between the two plans is in the details. And it's a big difference. First lets start off with Obama's plan. Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Steve Nissen supports Obama. He says the democrat wants a mix of private and expanded public health insurance programs including a federal health care program for children and tax incentives to businesses offering insurance to workers.
Dr. Steve Nissen: And for everybody who is left, there will be a national health insurance exchange. This is a program that would provide coverage very similar to what federal employees have that people could buy into and that would have a variety of subsidies based on income level of the individuals involved.
Obama's estimated price tag: $50 to $65 billion. A lot of cash, but critics wonder if that's even enough.
Now, here's Michael Burgess, a Republican congressman from Texas, a McCain supporter and the only physician on the House medical subcomittee. Burgess says McCain wants to make the health insurance market more competitive by changing the income tax code.. McCain wants to get rid of the tax break that workers get when their employer gives them health insurance. In return, Americans would get a refundable tax credit, basically cash.
Dr. Michael Burgess: We've all heard the two figures: $2500 for individuals and $5000 for families. It could be directly used to pay for insurance coverage for an individual who's had no ability to purchase insurance previously.
Critics say an average family health plan costs over $12,000 a year …so a $5000 tax credit would pay for less than half that. Back to Metro's ER. Here's Archie May, a Cleveland dad of two. As health care costs rise, his insurance premiums and deductibles keep going up.
Archie May: How are they going to fix the prices of health care? The prices are too high.
Dr. Steve Nissen: The prices are too high.
Dr. Steve Nissen for the Obama campaign.
Dr. Steve Nissen: I think with all of these things: drug re-importation, better preventative care, health information technology, there is no question we can reduce the cost of health care.
Dr. Michael Burgess: Under the McCain plan, the control in the prices of health care will come from the ability to compete against plans that are offered in other areas and ability for consumer to become much more of a vocal component of the system.
Burgess says McCain wants Americans to be able to shop around for health insurance, even from other states. Competition, McCain says, would bring down prices.
Standing across the street from MetroHealth's emergency room entrance, Samuel Cardona says he hasn't decided how to cast his vote.
Samuel Cardona: If it's John McCain, or whoever or Barack Obama I guess - I would hope that one day everybody would be able to get health insurance and prescriptions wouldn't cost so much.
In the end though the people I talked to at MetroHealth are wondering if these health plans will just be that, plans. With the billions about to be spent to fix the financial markets, staff and patients told me they're worried that there won't be any money left to rework American healthcare. Mhari Saito, 90.3.

What I did was I first connected to server A, did a few things on the database, then closed the connection and connected to server B, executed some queries in the query tab and then when I pressed the "Host: ..." tab I got this error.
However, I don't this problem is related to the "Host" tab specifically, because for a long time I've been getting AV errors from time to time in various circumstances that seem random to me. However, what I noticed is that if there is some connection problem to the mysql server then the AV errors increase.
Yesterday, I had a problem on one mysql server - the web site went down because one table became locked indefinitely and a long queue of queries were waiting for the lock to be released and finally the server refused any more connections. I used Heidi and obviously I couldn't connect to this db so I connected to the server as admin to see the processes running. I was able to connect but every time I went to Processes tab I saw a long list of waiting queries but when I tried to do anything with them I got AV error and had to restart Heidi. Then every time I went to the Processes tab Heidi crashed and I had to start again. I wanted to kill the processes but I wasn't able to because of the AVs. Finally, I contacted my hosting provider and the admin killed the processes for me so I was fine. But this was a bit frustrating experience because Heidi crashed on me at the time when I had to act quickly and do something critically important. Possibly the long list of running processes was the cause of the crashes because normally Heidi doesn't crash on the process list (not every time at least).
Unfortunately, I don't have the bug reports because I didn't have time to save them. My suggestion would be to give a bit more priority to the stability of Heidi. While it is okay for me to experience an occasional crash now and then, I don't think I can live with not being able to manage db processes when I need to act fast. Heidi is wonderful with its interface but currently I don't think I can rely on it as much as I would like to for db administration. Please consider my request :)

Eliminating the federal role would enhance state autonomy and streamline decision making. What's more exciting is that it would also lead to more and better spending on transportation.
In poll after poll, Americans say they are willing to invest in roads and bridges, as long as it brings about improvements they will use. This isn't just talk; state and local referendums on raising taxes or issuing debt to pay for transportation projects usually pass.
However, people don't generally support raising the gas tax, for the simple reason that they think their current gas taxes, which are mostly federal, are wasted.
Thus, the federal gas tax has become both a ceiling and a floor. It makes raising state gas taxes unpalatable. And since states get back at least what they contribute, the tax encourages them to keep spending even if they don't really need more roads.

Experimental: Treatment (decitabine, valproic acid)
Patients receive decitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 or 1-10. Treatment repeats every 28 days.
Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of decitabine until the MEPD is determined. The MEPD is defined as the dose at which at least 5 of 6 patients meet gene methylation criteria and no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences DLT.
Once the MEPD is determined, patients receive decitabine at that dose level administered as above and oral valproic acid three times daily on days 5-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of valproic acid until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience DLT. The MEPD of valproic acid is then determined using established gene methylation and toxicity criteria. Treatment continues for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Jeffrey Brown talks with comedian John Oliver.
JOHN OLIVER, "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver": If we let cable companies offer two speeds of service, there won't be Usain Bolt and Usain Bolt on a motorbike.
JOHN OLIVER: They will be Usain Bolt and Usain bolted to an anchor.
JEFFREY BROWN: The highly divisive debate over who controls Internet speed and access, so-called net neutrality, is hardly standard comic fare.
JOHN OLIVER: The point is, the Internet in its current state is not broken, and the FCC is currently taking steps to fix that.
JEFFREY BROWN: But it's just the kind of policy and political subject that John Oliver tackles, often in surprising depth, on his new HBO comedy program "Last Week Tonight."
JOHN OLIVER: We need you to channel that anger.
JEFFREY BROWN: His admonition to viewers to write to the FCC even briefly shut down the agency's comments section of the Web site. Born in a suburb of Birmingham, England, Oliver studied English and joined a comedy troupe at Cambridge University. He performed stand-up in festivals, pubs and clubs around England, before coming to this country and joining "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" in 2006, eventually sitting in as host while Stewart took time off.
The new program has probed, poked fun, and raised serious questions around a variety of news topics, from India's elections to Supreme Court decisions.
JOHN OLIVER: Let's talk about the death penalty.
JEFFREY BROWN: The weekly format, Oliver says, gives him and his staff, which includes former magazine researchers, as well as comedy writers, the time to develop stories, even if it feels like they're hanging on by the seat of their pants.
We talked recently at HBO in New York.
JOHN OLIVER: Some weeks, we have been — it's been controlled drowning, that — it's just been reacting and desperately trying to get something on TV.
JEFFREY BROWN: Controlled drowning.
JOHN OLIVER: Yes, controlled drowning.
JEFFREY BROWN: Meaning?
JOHN OLIVER: Meaning you eventually drown, but you try and stay above water for as long as possible.
JEFFREY BROWN: Until Sunday night, until the show gets on.
JOHN OLIVER: Exactly. Exactly. You just get to 11:31, and your head disappears below the surface.
JEFFREY BROWN: How do you decide what you're going to cover, what's — you know, we sit down every day, think the criteria, most important, most vital, most urgent, something like that. What is it for you?
JOHN OLIVER: Yes. Well, we have been drawn so far to slightly more off-the-beaten tracks, nothing that screams: I'm going to be amazing comic fodder.
Yes, we have been kind of been drawn to making life difficult for ourselves.
JEFFREY BROWN: But these things, India's election, climate change, net neutrality…
JOHN OLIVER: Yes. Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: And I speak as someone who is experienced at trying to cover those.
JOHN OLIVER: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: Serious issues, right?
JOHN OLIVER: They are not funny initially, no.
There's something about playing with toys that are that difficult that becomes more satisfying for us to kind of break by the end of our week's process. So, with India's election, there was some funny elements to that, but the thing that really drew me to it was, this thing is incredible.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, and the other thing, though, that seemed to come out of that was, you were also struck by, this is a huge thing, and nobody is paying attention.
JOHN OLIVER: Well, it didn't make any sense. It didn't make any sense to me that the largest exercise in democracy in the history of humanity wasn't interesting enough to cover.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what work goes in? Is there a lot a — is it research?
JOHN OLIVER: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: Is it reporting in a sense, the way…
JOHN OLIVER: No, it's reporting in no sense.
JEFFREY BROWN: Reporting in no sense.
JOHN OLIVER: No, it's — it's a lot of research. It's a lot of reading around it.
JEFFREY BROWN: So you are concerned about getting it right?
JOHN OLIVER: Yes, definitely.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JOHN OLIVER: Oh, absolutely, because you can't…
JEFFREY BROWN: That got you. I mean, you really care about that.
JOHN OLIVER: For sure.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JOHN OLIVER: Because you can't build — if a joke is built on sand, it just doesn't work, or it like collapses. It's very, very important to us that we are — it's — we're solid.
JEFFREY BROWN: Net neutrality got a lot of attention. Did it surprise you that you had even the power to kind of get people to respond and to write to the FCC?
JOHN OLIVER: Yes, I don't know if I really have any power, but it was — it was — it was surprising that people paid attention to it.
JEFFREY BROWN: But you do have a certain amount of power.
JOHN OLIVER: A certain amount. That certain amount, I think, is tiny. I have no moral authority. I'm a comedian.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's always interested me that Jon Stewart has often had to tell people, hey, we're a comedy show.
JOHN OLIVER: Yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: We're not a news program.
JOHN OLIVER: Yes. He's right.
JEFFREY BROWN: Right, but there is this blurring, is there not?
JOHN OLIVER: Not in our minds, no.
JEFFREY BROWN: Not in your minds?
JOHN OLIVER: No, no.
I mean, yes, I can't speak for him, but, yes, we're comedians. I think that becomes more a sad commentary on news than it does on us, though.
JEFFREY BROWN: You don't want that.
JOHN OLIVER: The only responsibility…
JOHN OLIVER: … as a comedian is that I have to make people laugh.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JOHN OLIVER: If I don't do that — and I'm sure that I often don't — then I have failed.
JEFFREY BROWN: When did you first decide that you wanted to focus on current events?
JOHN OLIVER: When you do stand-up, you're just concerned with trying to leave with some semblance of human dignity at the end of your performance.
JOHN OLIVER: Once you learn how to make people laugh, then you get to choose exactly how you want to make them laugh.
JEFFREY BROWN: Oh.
JOHN OLIVER: And so then you can get to make jokes about things you actually care about.
So, rather than doing anything to make people laugh, you can then select. Oh, well, maybe I'm interested in talking about, you know, my life, or about politics, or about sports. You know, you can direct your comedy. You kind of — you can control it better.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes. Does being British, an outsider, help you in looking at American politics, and journalism, and culture?
JOHN OLIVER: I think being an outsider in general always helps you in comedy. I think it helps to have an outsider's eye. And so I have an outsider's voice. You know, as soon as I start talking, I don't belong here. And I think that helps in a way.
JEFFREY BROWN: And are you finding yourself more American?
JOHN OLIVER: That is a good question.
I certainly love it here. And I love living here. And I see this as my home, kind of physically and emotionally.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
JOHN OLIVER: So, yes, I guess. I have kind of fallen in love with this country.
I would like — I would really like to vote. No, it — when I got my green card it was a — it was a really emotional moment. And I wasn't expecting that to be the case. And I nearly cried, again, nearly — I'm British. Nearly crying is — was going, oh, my goodness.
JEFFREY BROWN: But if you get your citizenship, you will be bawling?
JOHN OLIVER: Then I will cry American tears, you know, like the kinds that you guys always cry at the Olympics.
JOHN OLIVER: We're always — that's always the British view. No, you talk about Americans watching "Downton Abbey" and thinking, God, what is wrong with you people? British people generally watch Americans during the Olympics and say, oh, for goodness' sake.
JEFFREY BROWN: Pull yourself together?
JOHN OLIVER: Pull yourself together. You won. All right, for goodness' sake, sack up.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right, John Oliver, thanks for talking to us.
JOHN OLIVER: Oh, it's a pleasure. Thanks.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And there's more online, where John Oliver tells Jeff why "Downton Abbey" reminds him a bit too much about his own childhood. You will find that on Art Beat.

Nostalgia: Digging for victory in 1975
PUBLISHED: 13:00 15 January 2013 | UPDATED: 13:10 15 January 2013
AS we continue into 2013, we take a look back into the archives once again.
Continuing on our journey through the archives we come to 1975 and among the latest images we have found are of a five-a-side football competition in Whitton, an archaelogical dig which took place in Lower Brook Street and the Ransome and Rapier children's party. Along with these we found images of Bobby Robson at the Westbourne Youth club five-a-side finals and Christchurch Ladies Netball team.
Are you in any of these pictures? Drop us a line.
Meanwhile, we have heard from Joan Hassell who recognised the above picture from 1973 published recently.
She writes: "What a super New Year surprise to see the Suffolk County Tennis Team from 1973. I am the smallest one on the right and the others are from left to right: Joanna Lillis – sadly Joanna died in December last year; Yvonne Durham nee Grimwade; Sue Fulcher, nee Mornard; Winnie Lee, captain, now deceased; Ann Biddlecombe; Hilary la Duke; and myself, Joan Hassell, nee Stedman.
"We look pretty pleased with ourselves as, if I remember correctly, we were promoted to group two after winning all our matches in group 3.
Thanks for the letter, Joan and as ever, if you have any memories you wish to share with Star readers, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Slaughter of cull dairy cows dropped again in June.
According to the "Livestock Slaughter" report by the USDA on Thursday, 220,000 cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in June. This is down 28,000 head from May and 9,000 head from June 2012. Read the full report here.
This figure is also 77,000 head lower than in January, when the number of slaughtered dairy cows reached 297,000 -- the highest monthly slaughter figure since 1986. The high cull rate in January came as no surprise, since many farms had to deal with high feed cost and low profitability.

Let's make one thing clear. We are 100% cat-centric here but we loved this book by W. Bruce Cameron. Well, the humans did. Odin had another opinion.
Never mind him. He's a cat. To be frank, I didn't expect to like this N.Y Times best-selling book as much as I did. It's all about a dog who reincarnates a number of times to find out his purpose in life. I didn't expect to be reading it with Siamese foster gal Ling Ling nestled in my lap, bawling my eyes out over this D O G.
No doubt the Dreamworks produced film slated be made from the book will tug and turn your heartstrings into goo. There are a few cats mentioned in a cursory way like this excerpt narrated in doggie first person: "Stella, Tinkerbell and Emmet. Why on earth would a woman want three cats?"
We're privy to the inside track of how a dog thinks and feels. It's not about cat vs. dog. It's about the human connection with any species of pet to open our hearts to truth and wisdom. More info at http://www.adogspurpose.com/

Vista SP1 is now available to the public via Windows Update or the through the regular download channels. But there seems to be some problems with certain drivers which you might need to update as mentioned in this post.
Both the U1010 and P1610 have already been updated, it's hard for me to tell if there's any significant performance increase yet, but the U1010 seems to wake up from sleep to the password screen pretty much instantly.
But the most immediate benefit was after installing Vista SP1, hard disk space got freed, I think at least 1.5GB. On my space starved system drive of the P1610, that was a god send!
[Update] I figured out why i got space during the install. Seems like all System restore points prior to the installation of SP1 has been deleted. So that explains a lot.

Repairing Serious Keel Damage Part II
Here is the second half of the keel repair Emory and I did on Noah's Ark. The long gap in between parts I and II is in memory of the two and a half weeks that Emory and I sat twiddling our thumbs waiting for it to stop raining so we could finish the damn thing. Or maybe I got sidetracked… Either way, let's jump back in.
At the end of Part I we had just re-glued the long crack running up the aft end of the keel, and it looked like this:
The next bit is always the most miserable. In order to repair the keel with new fiberglass laminates we needed to grind down the old glass. I generously offered to go first, leaving Emory to grind the downwind side. The wind was, of course, pure coincidence.
Ideally, you want to grind the old laminate down to an edge with a bevel of 12:1 or larger. This means that if your laminate is 1/8″ thick you will grind 1.5″ in towards solid glass with a nice even bevel. The goal is a sharp feather edge leading gradually to your full 1/8″ thickness.
But Noah's Ark has a keel which is easily 3/4″ thick! With thick old laminates like this a 12:1 bevel is quite unnecessary and it's safe to fudge it a fair bit. We did our bevel over an area of about 6″ and called it good:
|The holes were drilled to gauge the thickness and condition of the laminate, and for another use I'll cover momentarily.
Even leaving aside how awful fiberglass dust is, this is awkward, frustrating work. I've read about a zillion books and articles on fiberglassing and they all cover this part in a couple sentences, as if the technique is self-evidently easy. Just grind your 12:1 bevel and then move on. If you're lucky there might be a diagram of a perfect bevel. I've never seen instructions on how to actually get that bevel.
This is ridiculous. I'm here to tell you that beveling fiberglass is not so easy! I'm supposed to take a hand tool and evenly grind down from 3/4″ thick down to a knife's edge over a distance of 5-8″? Just by eye? No way. It's a real disservice that none of these fiberglass-for-beginners books talk about how to actually do this. Instead, I've learned by experience. As usual, what I've learned is to stop stressing out about it! You don't need a perfect bevel for a good, strong repair. I bet even the people writing this stuff don't get a nice even bevel, and that's probably why they gloss over how to do it. Me, I just grind away, get it roughly even, and then smooth everything out at the end with filler, if I have to. Seems to work fine. That said, I've found a couple tricks that seem worth mentioning.
First off, there's tools. It's a glaring omission but almost no one talks about what tools to use when grinding this bevel. The assumption, I believe, is that you will use an angle grinder, but there are so many attachments! I used to use just a hard grinding disc, like you would use for metal:
These are cheap and fast, but a bit tricky to use. It's easy to cut too deep, and hard to keep the bevel even.
On this repair, I discovered that the job is much easier if you use flexible sanding discs on your grinder. These discs are pretty cheap and you can get them in larger sizes which make for easier beveling. I like to use 6″ sanding discs on my 4-1/2″ angle grinder (with the guard removed). You want a heavy grit, say 40 or 50.
I've always been too cheap to go and buy the proper backing pad for these sanding discs. The nice thing about using them without a backing pad is that they're extremely flexible and will conform to rather large curves, which helps with getting an even bevel. The disadvantage is that they don't last as long and randomly rip off and go flying. Wear proper eye protection. Next time I think I'll buy a backing pad and experiment with it to see whether it is flexible enough to be useful. If nothing else, it helps to make a backing pad of sorts from an old cutting wheel which is mostly used up.This spreads the clamping load over a larger area of the sanding disc but it's small enough that the disc can still flex.
Another trick to beveling is to keep in mind that fiberglass is made up with a series of layers. Picture a piece of plywood. A nice bit of plywood mighty have seven plies. Now if you were to plane a bevel in the end of it, you would see these plies exposed one by one as you cut the plywood down. To keep your bevel even you would just need to make sure that the line marking transition from one ply to the next stays straight across the length of your cut. Fiberglass is similar. It's a bit harder to see than with plywood but you can usually make out at least some of the different layers. When you're grinding you can use the transition from one layer to the next to judge how deeply you've ground into the layup and if you keep that line straight and parallel to the cut edge of the fiberglass you'll know that your bevel is even, at least on that axis.
|You can see the layers running parallel to the bottom of the keel. Not perfect, but good enough.
Overall, don't sweat it too much; that bevel doesn't need to be perfect.
Once we had ours ground in, we faced the next challenge. Unfortunately the reef this boat hit had ripped a couple inches off the trailing edge of the keel, messing up the shape. We needed not just to fix the laminate but to restore the shape of the keel. It had been suggested to me (by experts, actually) that we just use spray foam, but I wanted to use something more solid.
First I tried to just get the shape with a single layer of fiberglass, leaving a hollow that we could fill. This was not successful:
|Nobody likes a crooked keel…
Without anything to fill the fiberglass it was hard to get it to conform to the shape I wanted, and it ended up with an odd, crooked hollow tip which I cut off:
|Actually, I ended up cutting the whole piece off and starting fresh
For the next attempt I cut another smallish piece of cloth a similar size. When I wet it out I also mixed up a blob of resin with high-density filler. Then I spooned this resin with high-density filler onto the cloth and stuck the cloth up from the bottom. As this started to set I was able to mold it much like clay and managed to get the edge of the keel more-or-less back in shape:
|Not perfect, but we were able to work out that unevenness in the trailing edge as we went
With the keel generally keel-shaped again all that was left was to lay up new fiberglass to replace what we had beveled out, and then to fill up the voids. We did the former with two pieces at a time, one vertical piece which was folded over the trailing edge and one horizontal piece folded over the bottom. Where they overlapped (the bottom left, on the photos) we cut one short and left the other long so that this bottom aft section was built up evenly. With each horizontal/vertical pair we alternated the long one so that the bottom aft edge was built up in both directions. Throughout we used bi-axial cloth and vinylester resin.
|Mostly built up
Sorry about the lack of photos here, we were sticky and running out of gloves and time!
When we had built everything back up to around two-thirds of the original thickness we let it overnight and then did another round of grinding to even out a few high spots.
This is were we filled the voids in the keel. These voids, which I mentioned in Part I, seemed to be from the original layup. My suspicion was that had they been filled with something denser than air the keel might have suffered less damage in the grounding. Now was our chance to fill them properly.
Adhesion was irrelevant so we used polyester resin for this. We mixed it with a can of filler that Emory had lying around until it was about the consistency of molasses.
|Remember, always wear your nicest shoes when doing boatwork: you'll have incentive not to spill anything on your feet.
|We mixed our goop about a quart at a time
Mixing too much resin at once creates dangerous amounts of heat so we filled the void in stages, doing only a quart or so at a time. We poured this filler into the keel through the test holes we had drilled:
All told it took nearly a gallon of resin. Once the keel was full and the resin had set up we finished up with a couple more layers of fiberglass over the top of everything:
At this point I got to work on my own boat and left the rest to Emory. All they needed to do was a little final sanding and fairing. Then the yard slapped some anti-fouling over it, and splashed Noah's Ark the next day.
Now I know I tend to jabber on about the benefits of heavy old boats, but I think with this sort of repair you can really see why. I'm no expert at this stuff; far from it really. I would not feel comfortable attempting a repair like this on a lightweight fiberglass boat with a thin hull. Fortunately, on a thick old hull like this there's a lot of wiggle room and I'm confident in our repair. With the added filler I think the hull is at least as strong as before the grounding, and we did this with just a couple days' labor and about $100 in supplies!

The cove of Cala Mitjaneta
If you think Menorca is only for family package holidays, think again, says Lee Marshall. Most of the island is unspoilt and remarkably free of tourists, from the rolling fields of the interior to the spectacular beaches that line the coast. Photographs by Michel Figuet
Why did nobody tell me about Menorca? I had always assumed it was a package-tour destination that was best avoided - a family-oriented version of the Costa del Sol. But scrolling through the photographs I took while I was there, I see a wild, proud and stylish Balearic island untouched by the happy hour or the tourist menu.
There's a deserted cove, Cala d'Algaiarens - and I mean completely deserted, even on a perfect day in May - embracing a sea so transparent you can see the land's folds and ridges continue underwater. Foxgloves standing out in lipstick cerise against the deep green of a woodland glade.
A herd of tan-and-white cows on another unpeopled beach, this one
made up entirely of flat, pink pebbles. Brightly painted houses,
their doors and windows outlined in white, bringing a splash of
Mondrian to a narrow lane in Ciutadella. An arrow-straight road
stretching between dry-stone walls and barraques -
prehistoric-looking stone cattle shelters - to the lonely
lighthouse at Punta Nati. Continued>>

If you're "listening" with your eyes, sick calves can clearly communicate that they are not feeling well, according to Amy Stanton, assistant professor and animal well-being specialist at the University of Wisconsin.
Stanton says the most common "sickness behaviors" exhibited by calves include:
- Smaller flight zone – Sick calves will not instantly get up or move when a human approaches them, and need more encouragement to get up.
- Less interest in people – Calves that receive their milk from people should display an eagerness to interact with a person who approaches them. Stanton's research has shown that calves who fail to take at least one step forward in the first 30 seconds after a person approaches its pen are more likely to be ill.
- Posture changes – Standing with an arched back and tucked-in tail for at least 60 seconds after it has risen, stretched and urinated is a demonstration of physical discomfort.
The researcher adds that calf behaviors should be observed when calves are relaxed. If they are startled or frightened, their survival instincts will over-ride their feelings of sickness and make ill calves more difficult to detect. Watching for these signs every day will help to identify disease incidence early so treatment and supportive therapy can be delivered promptly and effectively.

Really worksI always come back to nail envy even though I love trying other nail treatments. I have been using this on and off for ten years and this is because it really does work and gives you stronger and longer nails within a few weeks. The only thing is you do have to use a good nail oil with it, and keep moisturising your hands. If I don't do this, I find my nails get too hard, brittle and eventually break with tis product. — 4 years agoLadyLou | 22 reviews
I love itI bought a mini bottle of the Original Nail Envy as a tester to see if I should splash out on a regular sized one. It definitely does what it says on the bottle! I had particular breakage on my right hand, and now my nails are all the same length on both hands (a miracle!). I used my first tiny bottle within about two weeks, and have now purchased a cheaper 'matte' version, which claims to be 'max...read moreimum strength', so I'm expecting wonderful things, and it was only £6 as opposed to £12+. I use 2 layers as a base coat, apply nail polish, then seal it with a top coat. My nail polish lasts so much longer with less chipping, and my nails are stronger and longer. Amazing. I can even do the washing up without my nails bending and breaking! :) — 4 years, 7 months agobethanie_eva | 1 reviews

MUST HAVE nail rescue!I swear by this product! I have been using it for 4 years now and I can't live without it. There is no product as effective as a nail strengthener and protector. It is a must have for any manicure. — 6 years, 5 months agonicole_mess | 3 reviews

OPI Nail Envy....Not what I thought it wasI purchased this back on August 2010 from the beauty school I was attending. It cost $8. I have really weak, flimsy paper thin nails, and was told to try this by almost everyone that I talked to about how awful my natural nails were. I finally bought this, and faithfully used it as directed. I thought is was helping at first, but after a while, i still had the weak flimsy nails I had before using ...read morethis. I have over half a bottle left, and haven't used it. I decided to go for acrylics, and ditch the Nail Envy. Well, I have to remove my falsies for upcoming suregery, and will give Nail Envy another try. I have the stuff, so i might as well just use it . I have tried so many nail products, that have promised to work, and dont. I take biotin supplement everday, (which is what our hair skin and nails need to look their best) and hopefully that and the Nail Envy will do me some good. I know that it will take me months to get my nails looking fab again after the falsies, but hey, we all have to start new sometime right? If I didn't already have this product, I would not go out and buy it. I don't think it improved my nails at all. And that is a dissapointment:( — 6 years, 5 months agoruthiejane | 29 reviews

Build Strong Nails!When I took my fake nails off, my nails were very weak and flimsy. I used Nail Envy every night before I went to bed. After a week my nails were strong and beautiful. I am never going back to fake nails now. — 7 years, 2 months agosamuji | 8 reviews

DecentI think Nail Envy works pretty well, but once you get about halfway through the bottle, the consistency thickens up which makes it hard to use and takes forever to dry, especially when you're adding a coat every other day or whatever it says to do. It's a good nail strengthener though. — 7 years, 10 months agogirlscout | 83 reviews

Hello Django Kitty!
Everyone has a first cherished childhood memory of Disneyland: meeting Mickey, realizing your parents lied about your great steering on the Autopia, barfing spaceburger chunks into the starry void of Space Mountain. For Tommy Davy, though, it was being 2 years old and hearing John Jorgenson and Raul Reynoso playing Gypsy-style jazz at the faux New Orleans Square. Sixteen years later, 18-year-old Laguna High student Davy is sharing the bill this weekend with Jorgenson and other prime pickers at Djangofest Laguna 2006.
"My dad was always playing Django's music around the house. Hearing that music live at Disneyland really cemented my interest in it," Davy recalled.
When I was 2, I was busy cementing my diapers, but some people do figure out early in life what matters to them. In his younger teens, Davy went through "phases of playing 1960s psychedelic music, then Captain Beefheart, sound-sculpture stuff like Snakefinger, into Danny Gatton and the East Coast Telecaster school." Then, four years ago at the NAMM show, he spotted new re-creations of the Maccaferi guitar favored by Gypsy jazz progenitor Django Reinhardt, bought one "and devoted myself full-bore to playing it."
The object of his musical devotion is Reinhardt, the Belgian Gypsy guitarist (1910-1953) whose phenomenally lyrical, inventive and technically astonishing playing remains Europe's chief contribution to jazz. Reinhardt's music influenced and challenged virtually every other guitarist who ever heard the stuff, from jazzmen to pickers as disparate as Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Trey Anastasio, Julian Bream and Richard Thompson.
Upcoming Events
Davy and some others take the influence a few steps further, playing the same repertoire on the same obscure-design guitar in the same instrumental context (generally a drumless group of acoustic guitars, violin and bass), preserving Reinhardt's fiery legacy while the best of them still find plenty of room for individual expression within its improvisations. To be utterly true to Reinhardt's style, some even do their fretting with just two fingers, because two of Reinhardt's were paralyzed in a Gypsy caravan fire.
The Djangofest will also feature several repeat performers from last year's fest, including Jorgenson (the mind-disarraying, multi-award-winning former Desert Rose Band, Elton John Band and Disneyland guitarist, again joined by singer Beryl Davis, who performed with Reinhardt in her youth); Parisian Gypsy Angelo Debarre, joined this year by accordionist Ludovic Beier; Amsterdam's Robin Nolan Trio, featuring contemporary chanteuse Brandi Shearer; the Hot Club of San Diego; and the fest debut of French guitarist Stephane Wrembel and of the group Davy's in, the Gypsy Kidz.
In a sense, they're sort of a hot jazz New Kids on the Block, a manufactured youth band put together by a music-biz exec. The difference here is the exec is Amoeba record stores owner Dave Prinz, and the motive sure can't be money, since most kids in the 1940s never heard of this music, let alone the ones now.
"He wanted to put something together that had the chance to appeal to young people specifically because the music doesn'thave much of a young following in the United States," Davy said. "He loves the music—I first met him at the San Francisco Djangofest—and he wants to help promote it."
Prinz put together the best young players he could find, coming up with bassist Samson Grisman, violinist Annie Staninec, and guitarists Davy and Ivan Pena, who just joined the group. They range in age from 16 to 20. They've already done a tour of West Coast clubs, opening for mandolinist David Grisman (Samson's dad).
Davy's also already had the daunting experience of being called onstage to perform with Debarre, Beier and others. "From hardly knowing anything about playing this music four years ago to having the chance to play with them was mind-boggling to me. I couldn't have imagined it," he said.
"I think there will always be a little stage fright going into a situation like that, but at some point the music takes over. You get so absorbed into the qualities of it that you forget everything else. That's one of the reasons why I intend to play this music for the rest of my life."
Djangofest Laguna 2006, at the Festival of Arts Forum Theatre, 650 Laguna Canyon Rd., Laguna Beach, (949) 499-5088. The Gypsy Kidz, the Robin Nolan Trio and the Stephane Wrembel Trio perform Fri., 8 p.m.; the John Jorgenson Quintet and Angelo Debarre with Ludovic Beier perform Sat., 3 p.m.; the Gypsy Kidz, Robin Nolan with Brandi Shearer and Angelo Debarre with Ludovic Beier perform Sat., 8 p.m.; and Hot Club of San Diego, Robin Nolan with Brandi Shearer and the John Jorgenson Quintet with Beryl Davis perform Sun., 7 p.m. Check the website for workshops. $34-$40.

What grass remains from the fiercest tornado ever to strike Maryland is dappled with shards of glass and shredded asphalt shingles.
Like a giant black boot, the twister trampled the heart of this Charles County city's downtown, turning 20 blocks of homes and offices to plaster and sticks, kicking over the water tower, propelling a peaked roof from one building and dropping it on the flattened remains of another. The tornado stomped a 10,000-square-foot hardware store.
La Plata, a Southern Maryland town of 6,000 that is shifting from farming to housing for Washington suburbanites, took the brunt of a rampage of tornadoes that raced from Missouri to the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday.
The tornado that touched down here struck the hardest, landing with a F5 force, the highest level on National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's scale.
At F5 on the Fujita Tornado Damage Scale, the agency said, a tornado's winds reach 261 to 318 miles an hour, fierce enough to blow frame houses off their foundations, strip bark from trees and catapult automobiles.Continue reading the main story
Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky each reported one death from Sunday's storms.
The atmospheric agency attributed the ferocity of the storms to collisions of warm wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and a higher layer of cold dry air from Canada and a storm moving from the Middle West toward the Mid-Atlantic.
The tornado that hit La Plata at 7:05 p.m. left two people dead, killing one motorist by flipping his car and another by collapsing the roof of a new home he and his wife had gone to inspect.
Twenty miles east, in Calvert County town of Prince Frederick, a tornado left one more dead.
''It tossed us like matchsticks,'' said Murray Levy, president of the Charles County Commission, who was touring the scene today with Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and other state politicians. ''It happened in two seconds.''
Nina W. Voehl, the Charles County spokeswoman, said that 12 county residents were airlifted to hospitals and that more than 120 were injured. Linne Anderson, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross, said the tornado destroyed 80 homes in Southern Maryland.
Walking through downtown La Plata, Kevin Benson, 24, pointed to a football field's worth of debris just off the main thoroughfare.
''That was the post office,'' Mr. Benson said. ''That was Mitchell's Hardware. They were a bunch of little houses that had businesses in them.''
When the tornado struck, he said, ''all you could hear was people screaming people's names and car alarms going off and alarms going off at businesses and the emergency lights flashing at the courthouse.''
Gov. Parris N. Glendening declared states of emergency in Charles and Calvert Counties, making them eligible for state aid. Ms. Townsend said state officials would also ask the Bush administration to declare a natural disaster, opening the way for federal help. The governor authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to the counties today. The La Plata police imposed a 9 p.m. curfew tonight.
Ms. Voehl, the county spokeswoman, said that the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning four hours before La Plata was hit. But residents said they became aware of one only when they saw the tornado and heard it.
Thomas E. Hutchins, a Charles County representative in the Maryland House of Delegates, said he was fishing with his 5-year-old son from a pier on the Tobacco River just before 7 p.m. His son noticed the darkening skies and asked if it was a tornado approaching, Mr. Hutchins said.
''I looked up at the head of the river,'' he said. ''I said, 'Let's go in.' '' They made it into their house, and in an instant, he said, ''the lights went out.''
Their home was untouched.
Deborah McClain sat in a room in an EconoLodge Hotel tonight in nearby Waldorf, her six children, her husband, Wayne, and her few remaining possessions surrounding her. Just about everything she had was gone, Mrs. McClain said, except what mattered most.
She recalled her 13-year-old son, Dominique, saying that the tornado was approaching their home.
''We didn't believe him,'' she said. ''We figured it was just a thunderstorm.''
Then Mrs. McClain's husband pulled back a curtain and saw the funnel cloud.
''He screamed, 'Everybody get up! Get up! Get in the basement now!' So we ran down and we hid behind the couch. It sounded like a freight train was coming right through our house. And we could hear things crashing and glass shattering.''
When the howling finally subsided, Mrs. McClain walked through the first floor, in shambles, covered in glass, then started for the second floor.
''I climbed two steps and looked up and could see only sky,'' she said.
Tonight, though, she gives thanks that she lives in a sturdy, two-story brick house, perhaps most important with a basement.
''It didn't really hit until today when we went back and saw our house and saw the damage to the town,'' she said.
Mrs. McClain added that just before they left the house on Sunday night, she and her family ''all came together to say a prayer and give thanks that we're all still alive.''
The race for the basement is a response that has become a part of the local culture since the last tornado hit, in November 1926.
Frances Winkler, 82, was in the second grade then. After a Mass today at Sacred Heart Ms. Winkler said, ''That one hit my school. Thirteen were killed, right then and there.''
But in another way this one was worse, she said: ''That tornado did not demolish our town like this one has.''Continue reading the main story
