British Propellants
Cordite Propellants
Cordite was widely used by the British with Mark I being the first version produced, with manufacturing starting in 1889. This propellant was much more powerful and thermally efficient than gunpowder or brown powder, as shown by tests with early British 6 inch (15.2 cm) QF guns. These guns replaced their 55 lbs. (25 kg) charge of brown prismatic powder with only 13 lbs. (6 kg) of the new Mark I cordite propellant. Mark I cordite consisted of 37% nitrocellulose (13.1% Nitrogen), 58% nitroglycerine and 5% petroleum jelly. This last ingredient had originally been used as a lubricant during the manufacturing process, but it was found that it also acted as a stabilizer as its unsaturated hydrocarbons counteracted the byproducts of the decomposition process.
As can be easily guessed by the name, Cordite was primarily manufactured in thin cylindrical or cord form, with the different sizes denoted by a number representing the hole diameter of the extrusion die. For Mark I cordite, these numbers were in 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) increments. For example, Cordite 30 meant Cordite Mark I extruded through a die having holes 0.300 inches (7.62 mm) in diameter. It should be noted that using propellant in cord form means that the burning surface decreases as the propellant burns and that with hindsight it would have been better to adopt a tubular form, as was done in Germany. Tubular forms have a constant burning surface and thus produce more gas to fill the expanding volume as the projectile travels up the barrel.
Cordite Mark I was first issued for 3-pdr, 6-pdr, 4.7-inch and 6-inch guns in 1893 and for 12-inch guns in May 1895. Generally, the larger the gun, the larger the cord sized used. For example, the 12" (30.5 cm) Mark VIII and IX guns used Cordite 50, the 6" (15.2 cm) guns used Cordite 30 and the Hotchkiss 3-pdr guns used Cordite 5.
Mark I cordite did burn very hotly and this was found to be detrimental to gun barrel life, as the high temperatures caused rapid wear. For this reason, the proportions of nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose were revised in order to increase the barrel life. This new propellant was designated MD (for Modified) and it came into service in 1901. MD cordite consisted of 65% nitrocellulose (13.1% N), 30% nitroglycerine and 5% petroleum jelly. MD charges were about 25% heavier than Mark I for the same ballistic result but doubled the life of the guns. MD did have a high shrinkage rate during the drying process, with cords that were extruded at 0.45 inches (1.14 cm) in diameter shrinking down to as little as 0.34 inches (0.86 cm) after they dried. A tube form was made for at least the 4-inch (10.2 cm) QF Mark III, but most guns still used the cord form. Like Mark I cordite, the different sizes of MD were denoted by a number representing the hole diameter of the extrusion die and the numbers were in 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) increments. The most common sizes were MD4.5, which was used for 3-pdr guns, MD8, MD11, MD19, MD26, MD37, which was used for 9.2-inch (23.4 cm) guns and MD45 which was used for the 12-inch (30.5 cm) and larger guns. A larger diameter MD55 cord was tried as this would have been advantageous for the larger caliber guns, but it was found to be impossible to remove all of the volatile solvent.
Both Mark I and MD were in use during World War I, and both had poor storage characteristics with their stability degrading over time. A study performed after World War I found that MD tended to form highly unstable micro-sized dust particles consisting of nitrocellulose and iron pyrites. These unfortunate traits led to several ships suffering magazine explosions during World War I, both in action and in harbor.
By April 1917 considerable improvements had been made in the manufacture of cordite by changing to the use of clean carded sliver cotton, substituting cracked mineral jelly for petroleum jelly, using guncotton which had been nitrated for a minimum of 2.5 hours and in using inspectors for quality control at all stages of the process. This improved propellant was known as MC (for Modified Cracked) and the substitution of cracked mineral jelly in place of petroleum jelly was in a bid to improve stability. With this exception, MC cordite was chemically similar to MD cordite. Plans were put in place during the spring of 1917 to replace some 6,000 tons (6,100 mt) of old cordite with MC cordite as soon as production permitted. However, after the battleship Vanguard exploded in harbor in July 1917, this program was expedited and the exchange was completed in ships of the Grand Fleet by March 1918 and in all ships by September 1918. MC cordite was a fairly satisfactory propellant if properly and carefully made and it was still in use during World War II, primarily as an alternative propellant for certain guns.
In 1927, following a study of the German RP C/12 solventless propellant (see below) used during World War I, British chemists developed a more stable version of cordite called SC (solventless cordite, also known as solventless carbamite). This was used to replace the older propellants as rapidly as possible and remained in service until well after World War II. SC was primarily manufactured in cords (strings) but some was also made in tubular form. The nomenclature was changed such that the cord die hole diameter was now given in 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) increments. SC consisted of 49.5% nitrocellulose (12.2% N), 41.5% nitroglycerine and 9% centralite (also known as "carbamite"), which was used as a stabilizer. Centralite not only improved the stabilization of SC cordite, it did not have to be removed during the manufacturing process, which gave it better dimensional stability as well. This also permitted the use of larger diameter cords, with the largest being SC500 which was used for the 14-inch Mark VII guns at Dover for cross-channel firings. However, SC was a stiff material to extrude and needed much higher pressures than did the Cordite MD type.
A hotter burning propellant known as HSC (for Hot Solventless Carbamite) or HSCT (for Hot Solventless Carbamite Tubular) for 6-pdr, 3-pdr and 2-pdr guns was also produced. This was composed of 49.5% nitrocellulose, 47% nitroglycerine and 3.5% centralite.
SC was used extensively during World War II and had a better safety record than the previous cordites, although the loss of HMS Hood may be partially attributed to it.
Nitrocellulose Propellants
Nitrocellulose propellant imported from USA sources in flake or tube form was standard for Oerlikon 20 mm guns during World War II. In addition, the USA DuPont chemical company NH and FNHP propellants of nitrocellulose dinitrotoluene type in multi-tube form were extensively used for guns between 4 inch (10.2 cm) and 5.25 inch (13.3 cm). The short multi-tube grains of these propellants were particularly well-suited for bottle-neck cases such as those used for the 4.5 inch (11.4 cm) guns. NH was composed of 86% nitrocellulose (13.15% N), 10% dinitrotoluene, 3% dibutylphthalate, 1% diphenylamine while FNHP differed in having 2% less nitrocellulose and 2% more dibutyl phthalate with 0.8% potassium sulfate. FNHP was commonly used for Bofors 40 mm cartridges.
Flashless Propellants
Due to the presence of calcium in the small amount of chalk used to counteract traces of residual acids, SC cordite had a very bright "flash," a characteristic which led to the development of flashless propellants. British flashless propellants in use during World War II were produced in primarily in slotted tubular form. The most used was NF, originally known as NFQ, and this was composed of 55% picrite (nitroguanidine), 16.5% nitrocellulose (12.1% N), 21% nitroglycerine, 7.5% centralite and 0.3% cryolite. NF was not easy to make and the basic initial material required for picrite was calcium carbide, which required large amounts of electricity during the manufacturing process. For this reason, the only plant making this propellant was located at Welland near Niagara Falls in Canada. Canada also produced Cordite N during World War II which was widely used as a propellant for aircraft gun ammunition. Cordite N is another triple-base propellant that was very cool burning and produced little smoke and almost no flash. The composition was 55.0% nitroguanidine, 19.0% nitrocellulose, 18.5% nitroglycerin and 7.5% ethyl centralite. Cordite N does not appear to have been used as a naval gun propellant in the Royal Navy, but a variation of it was used by the USN (see below).
Flashless propellant was in great demand during the war, however, for guns larger than 5.25" (13.3 cm), full flashless charges became too bulky for existing turret arrangements and so the only larger weapon issued these was the 6" (15.2 cm) Mark XXIII. These were actually "reduced flash" or "non-blinding" charges and were designated as NQFP. This propellant was issued in cord form and differed from NF by having 4.5% more nitrocellulose, 4.5% less centralite and 2% potassium sulfate.
Modern Propellant
The 114 mm (4.5") Mark 8 naval gun uses a triple-base (Nitroguanidine, Nitroglycerin and Nitrocellulose) flashless propellant known as MNLF/2P/M08. This is manufactured in tube form.
Other Propellants
Notable among British double-base propellants was CSP2 (for Chilworth Special Powder No. 2) made by the Chilworth Gunpowder Company prior to World War I. This propellant was widely used by the armament firm of Elswick for many of their export weapons as an alternative to cordite. CSP2 consisted of 70.5% nitrocellulose, 23.5% nitroglycerine, 5% petroleum jelly and 1% sodium bicarbonate. After 1910, this propellant was also manufactured by the Nobel Dynamite Company of Avigliana, Italy.
British Nomenclature
As noted above, British cordite propellants were designated by the type and a number representing the hole diameter of the extrusion die. For Mark I, MD and MC formulations, these numbers were in 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) increments and for SC cordite they were in 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) increments. For example, MD45 meant MD-type cordite manufactured with dies having 0.450 inch (11.4 mm) diameter holes while SC350 meant SC-type cordite manufactured with dies having 0.350 inch (8.89 mm) diameter holes.
Propellant grains
made in the form of tubes were designated by the type of propellant followed
by two numbers, with the first number indicating the external diameter
and the second the internal diameter, both in 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) increments.
SC in tubular form was designated in the form of
HSC and HSCT designations were in the form of
HSCT/K 134-055 with
the K indicating that potassium cryolite was used as a moderator.
NF designations were of the form NF 164-048.
French Propellants
Poudre B
The first "smokeless powder" propellant was invented by the French chemist Paul Vielle in 1884 and adopted by the Navy around 1890. Known as Poudre B (for Poudre Blanche, meaning "white powder"), this was a single-base propellant composed primarily of nitrocellulose. This early French nitrocellulose was susceptible to spontaneous ignition, and is believed have caused the loss of the battleships Liberté and Iéna, but this propellant was improved by the addition of diphenylamine as a stabilizer and by more careful attention to the pulping and cleaning process to remove residual traces of acid. The French continued to use single-base nitrocellulose in a strip form for most of their weapons up to World War II. These propellants were designated as BM (for Blanche Modifié? - Modified White?) followed by a number which indicated thickness, such as BM15. This number was somewhat arbitrary, but a larger number did indicate a thicker strip. During the war, BM was produced in a reduced flash version using potassium chloride for some 138.6 mm guns.
Solventless Propellants
French "solventless"
propellant designated as SD was produced during the 1930s for a
few guns including the 380
mm and 330
mm. Like British SC, French SD appears to have been developed
from a study of German RP C/12, as it was in the form of a single tube
grain and the composition was similar in its proportions of nitrocellulose,
nitroglycerin and centralite. The actual composition of SD was 64-65%
nitrocellulose, 25% nitroglycerin and 8-9% centralite. Like BM, the
SD designation was followed by an arbitrary number with a larger number
indicating a larger grain size. SD19 was issued for 330
mm guns while SD21 was issued for 380 mm guns. The grain
for SD19 was 14 mm (0.55 in) outside diameter and 4 mm (0.157
in) internal diameter. The grain for SD21 was a larger
tube, but the dimensions are unavailable at this time.
German Propellants
German propellants for the first half of the twentieth century were manufactured in the form of hollow tubes and designated as RP for Rohr-Pulver or "Tube powder." The propellants were classified by model year and by the external and internal diameters of the tubes in millimeters. For example, RP C/38 (14/4.9) meant a tube powder first introduced in 1938 that had an external diameter of 14 mm (0.551 in) and an internal diameter of 4.9 mm (0.193 in).
Prior to 1912, the Germans used solvents in their manufacturing process, including for RP C/06, the standard propellant in use prior to World War I. There were several compositions used between 1912 and 1945, all of a solventless double-based nature using centralite (symmetrical Diethyl Diphenyl Urea) as a non-volatile solvent. Centralite was not removed from the finished propellant and acted as an excellent stabilizer. Leaving this solvent in also greatly reduced shrinkage during the drying process.
The first of these solventless propellants, RP C/12, was the primary propellant used during World War I. This and RP C/32 used nitroglycerin while formulations starting with RP C/38 used diethylene glycol dinitrate (DGN), which was cooler-burning and less bore erosive. All of these formulations were resistant to exploding even when exposed to a hot fire. For instance, when the small battleship Gneisenau was bombed at Kiel in 1942, over 23 tons (24 mt) of RP C/32 propellant was ignited in a forward magazine. There was no explosion even though the 750 mt (738 ton) turret "Anton" was lifted at least 50 cm (20 inches) from its mounting by the gas pressure generated by the deflagration. As noted above, both the British and the French did extensive studies of RP C/12 after World War I and developed their own "solventless" propellants based upon the results.
Chemical Compositions
RP C/06 - 70.5% nitrocellulose (about 12% N), 23.5% nitroglycerine, 5% petroleum jelly, 1% sodium bicarbonate.
RP C/12 - 64.13% nitrocellulose (11.9% N), 29.77% nitroglycerine, 5.75% centralite, 0.25% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
RP C/32 - 66.6% nitrocellulose (11.5% N), 25.9% nitroglycerine, 7.25% centralite, 0.15% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
RP C/38 - 69.45% nitrocellulose (12.2% N), 25.3% DGN, 5.0% centralite, 0.15% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
RP C/38N - 68.72% nitrocellulose (12.2% N), 25.03% DGN, 1.5% centralite, 4.5% methyl centralite, 0.15% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
RP C/40 - 67.55% nitrocellulose (11.45% N), 24.6% DGN, 7.5% centralite, 0.25% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
- 64.87% nitrocellulose (12.2% N), 23.63% DGN, 0.5% akardite, 7.0% methyl
centralite, 0.15% magnesium oxide and 0.10% graphite.
Italian Propellants
Italian propellants before World War II were designated as C and were typically a mixture of 68.5% nitrocellulose, 25.5% nitroglycerine, 5% petroleum jelly and 1% sodium bicarbonate. This propellant was apparently derived from Elswick CSP2 and was chemically similar to the German RP C/06. In 1936 solventless propellants were introduced with NAC from Dinamite Nobel and FC4 from Bombrini-Delfino. NAC contained 66% nitroacetylcellulose (this was nitrocellulose mixed with a small amount of acetyl cellulose), 27% nitroglycerine and 7% centralite. FC4 was 64% nitrocellulose, 28% nitroglycerine, 4% phthalit, 3% centralite and 1% petroleum jelly. Grains were usually of single tube design, although the charges for the 381 mm/50 (15 inch) guns also had a disk propellant at the igniter end, possibly to speed up the charge ignition. Reduced flash propellants were introduced during the war by the addition of potassium chloride with charges being produced for gun calibers between 12 cm (4.7 inches) and 20.3 cm (8 inches).
Postwar, the Italians
have adopted a singe-based propellant similar to the USN's NACO (see below).
These are designated with M numbers, such as M8 or M10.
Japanese Propellants
Before 1893 the Japanese Navy used brown prismatic powder which was purchased from Britain, Holland or Belgium. In 1888, the Japanese Army, which was responsible for procuring propellants both for itself and for the Japanese Navy, tested the French Poudre B propellant. The tests results were acceptable, and the Japanese purchased a production plant in 1893.
British Mark I Cordite was introduced to Japan the same year when the British-built cruiser Yoshino entered service. On 19 March 1903, Cordite Mark I, which the Japanese designated as C and called Jinjô Chûjô ("common cord like powder"), was adopted for all QF-type guns then in service with the Navy.
Until after the Russo-Japanese War, all naval propellants were imported but in 1907 the Japanese let a contract to the Sir William Armstrong Co. to build a factory at Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, for the manufacture of British MD cordite. The plant was completed in December 1908 and produced both MDC cords and MDT tubular propellant. In 1919, the Japanese Navy purchased this factory outright and renamed it the Kaigun Kayakukô (Naval Powder Plant).
In 1912, the Japanese developed and produced their first naval propellant, known as C2 for Type 2 Cordite. Officially adopted on 12 September 1917, this consisted of 65% nitrocellulose, 30% nitroglycerine, 3% mineral jelly and 2% jara jara (beta naphthol methyl ether). This propellant was also made in a tubular form (tubite) and in this form was known as T2. In 1920, centralite was introduced as a gelatinizer, a technique used by the Germans in their RP C/12. By 1924, this had become the standard naval service propellant and was known as DC (for Doku = Deutsch or German Cordite).
Fairly satisfactory flashless propellant containing potassium sulfate and hydrocellulose was introduced about 1938. Known as FD, this was said to reliably eliminate flash for guns up to 14 cm (5.5 inch) but not for larger guns.
The nominal diameter
of the Japanese cords was given in units of 0.1 mm (0.004"). For
example, the Japanese propellant 80DC was cordite with cords of
8.0 mm (0.315") diameter.

United States of America Propellants
Smokeless Powder
By 1896 the USN had begun small-scale production of a single-base nitrocellulose propellant at Newport, Rhode Island. Major manufacturing of this "smokeless powder" SP at the Naval Ordnance Station (later known as the Naval Powder Factory), at Indian Head, Maryland was begun in 1900 and continued there for decades.
Smokeless powder will deteriorate over time as it contains nitrocellulose and two volatile substances, ether and alcohol. Its length of usefulness depends largely on the conditions under which it is stowed. Moisture or heat speeds its deterioration and the combination of the two is extremely damaging to the propellant. In 1905, George Patterson, the key civilian researcher at Indian Head, was experimenting with the addition of rosaniline dye to the propellant, designating these lots as SPR. This dye did nothing to stabilize the deterioration of the propellant, but instead showed the status of the deterioration by changing color as it combined with the forming acids.
Patterson recommended the abandonment of rosaniline dye in 1908 in favor of adding diphenylamine as a stabilizer. Known as SPD, this new propellant was first produced in 1908 and adopted as the standard propellant formulation by 1912. SPD was found to have good stability characteristics when properly stored, with some lots manufactured prior to World War I staying in storage for as long as twelve years without loss of stability. During World War II, the primary USN propellant was SPD in a multi-tube form made up of 99.5% nitrocellulose (12.6% N), 0.5% diphenylamine. The USN used a flat, short cylindrical grain design that usually had seven perforations with the websize varying from 0.023 in (0.58 mm) for the short 3 in (7.62 cm) gun to about 0.174 in (4.42 mm) for the 16 in (40.64 cm) guns. SPD had a good safety record partly due to the harder-to-ignite and slow burning nature of its single-base nature and partly due to the quality of its manufacturing process.
Flashless Propellants
In the mid-1920's, both the Naval Powder Factory at Indian Head and the DuPont Co. developed flashless powders. The Powder Factory had also obtained good results by mixing flash-reducing chemicals with the conventional powder charge. Flashlessness, however, was gained only by an increase in the amount of smoke, which was unacceptable to the fleet as it interfered with searchlight illumination and fire control. By 1928, BuOrd had stopped work on flash suppression. With the advent of radar in World War II, smoke became less objectionable and the fleet was willing to accept considerably more smoke in order to obtain a significant reduction in flash. At the time the request for flashless powder was received, BuOrd had already accumulated large inventories of smokeless powder. In order to prevent this material from being discarded, some means of converting it into acceptable flashless charges had to be found.
By the summer of 1942, the Naval Powder Factory had the answer in a chemical tablet made of a mixture of potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate, to which was added a small amount of graphite to facilitate pelleting. After extensive testing by the Naval Proving Ground had worked out the details, production was begun in September 1942. The use of these flashless pellets was limited to guns between 3 to 6 inches (7.62 to 15.2 cm) as larger calibers would have required too many pellets. Even in these calibers performance was not always perfect. A fused mass of clinkers could form in the gun chambers, a result of incomplete combustion of the pellets. At high angles of gun elevation, these clinkers could cause gun casualties such as jammed breech mechanisms. To eliminate the hazard, the Research Division of BuOrd, working with the Naval Powder Factory, developed a flashless grain. Known as SPDF, this new material consisted of 5 to 7 percent potassium sulfate mixed with nitrocellulose, colloided as a normal smokeless powder, and extruded in the form of a powder grain. Satisfactory in both ballistic and flash suppression properties, flashless grains of this type were in production at the Naval Powder Factory when the war ended. Meanwhile, pellets continued to serve the need for a flash suppressor for existing propellants. While not completely satisfactory, these two compositions provided the fleet with an essentially flashless charge long before it was possible to have true flashless powder.
During World War II some Cordite N (see above) flashless propellant was imported from Canada and this was used for full charges for at least 6 inch (15.2 cm) and 8 inch (20.3 cm) guns and in reduced charges for 16 inch (40.6 cm) guns during the war and for other guns afterwards. Known as SPCG in USN service, the composition of this propellant differed from British NF and consisted of 19.0% nitrocellulose (13.1% N), 18.7% nitroglycerine, 55% nitroguanidine and 7.3% centralite. BuOrd was unhappy with this propellant, as Cordite N was brittle and, even worse, it contained nitroglycerine, which the USN considered to be highly undesirable for use in naval propellants. BuOrd instituted a major research program to develop a flashless propellant that did not use nitroglycerine. After testing dozens of possibilities, scientists narrowed the field to two likely candidates - dinitrodiethanol nitramine (DINA) and Fivonite. Experimental firing at Dahlgren showed little difference between the two, but DINA was selected because of its superior physical properties.
Albanite, the name given this new flashless powder because of its white color, appeared to have all the desirable features of Cordite N and few of the objectionable ones. Studies of Albanite by DuPont demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale production, and by V-J Day BuOrd had launched an ambitious procurement program which called for monthly deliveries of 4,000,000 pounds of the new propellant. Albanite was composed of 20.0% nitrocellulose (12.6% N), 19.5% DINA, 55.0% nitroguanidine, 4.0% dibutyl phthalate and 1.5% centralite. To this mixture was added a small amount of potassium sulfate and lead which acted as a decoppering agent. These charges weighed about 10% more than those for nitrocellulose.
Modern Propellants
In the early 1950s experiments with a solventless propellant known as NOSOL progressed into the current formulations of single-base propellant known as "Navy Cool" or NACO which is composed of 91% nitrocellulose (12.0% N), 1% ethyl centralite, 3% butyl stearate, 1% basic lead carbonate, 1% potassium sulfate and 3% volatiles.
The ERGM rocket projectile currently under development uses a special mixture known as EX-99 propellant which, according to one open-source document, is composed of 76% RDX (cyclonite, cyclomethylene trinitramine), 12% cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), 7.6% acetal/formal (A/F), 4% nitrocellulose and 0.4% ethyl centralite. The high percentage of RDX gives this propellant the unusually high "kick" necessary for this relatively heavy projectile and is one of the reasons why the 5"/62 (12.7 cm) gunhouse was greatly strengthened over the earlier 5"/54 (12.7 cm) gunhouse.
USN Designations
The designations below are normally followed by a number that indicates the sequence of manufacture. The combination of the letters and the number is termed the index or the lot of the powder.
Most non-official (and many official) published references for USN bag guns vary from each other by a few pounds (a couple of kilograms) as to the charge weights used by any particular bag gun. Primarily, this is because most official documents exclude the weight of the gunpowder used as bag igniters, but a few official documents combine the igniter weights with the actual SPD propellant weight. Complicating matters is that after World War II a cooler burning formulation of SP was adopted which resulted in slightly different charge weights.
For example, a full charge for the 16"/50 (40.64 cm) Mark 7 during the World War II period consisted of six propellant bags whose total propellant weight was 660.0 lbs. (299.4 kg) of SPD and 4.463 lbs. (2.1 kg) of gunpowder. Some references show this charge weight as 660.0 lbs. (299.4 kg) while others show it as 664.463 lbs. (301.4 kg). With the post-war adoption of the cooler burning propellant, the six bag full charge weight for this gun changed to 655.0 lbs. (297.108 kg) and 4.463 lbs. (2.1 kg) of gunpowder. Again, some references show this charge weight as 655.0 lbs. (297.108 kg) while others show it as 659.463 lbs. (299.2 kg). For the most part, on my datapages I list only the actual propellant weight without the igniter gunpowder as shown in U.S. Explosive Ordnance: Ordnance Pamphlet 1664 which I have found to be reliable for the World War II period.

I saw this video the other day and found it pretty inspiring I know its made by a large running company but I think it still keeps the essence of running/simple living anyhow thought it might interest you.
Thanks for your blog/books They are fascinating and inspiring!- Builders of the Pacific Coast is the best book I own and has made me look for a change in work towards traditional carpentry! Anyway heres the link
Keep up the amazing work!

Monday Morning Fish Fry
Day at the beach Yesterday I walked a few miles along the coast, carrying my wetsuit, surf mat and fins in a backpack. I've had the mat for over a year and never used it. It was sunny, the ocean glassy, surf 3-4 feet, but breaking straight across. Suited up -- gotta bite the bullet sometime -- and hit the water. Two surfers out, getting creamed each time they got up…When I got out, surf had jumped to 4-6', breaking kah-wump with big thick lips…Bottom line: surfing a mat ain't as easy as I thought, or as easy as it looks. I had a hard time getting in the right place at the right time. I did get one ride, but also got pounded a couple of times. But you know, at my age, I ain't complainin, just getting in the water always generates chi…On the way back, there were these rock sculptures, hadn't been there a few hours earlier.
Tiny Homes On The Move is moving, albeit slowly. Rick has been working over a month, doing Photoshop work on the 1,000+ photos, many of which need resuscitation; on some of these he's performing minor miracles, bringing out lacking color, depth and sharpness…I had a sort of breakthrough Friday when I cancelled a planned kayak adventure to Drake's Estero and stayed here and got the intro and credits pages done, had been putting off for weeks. Now that everything is laid out, we will spend a month or so making corrections, and coming up with a cover.

I go to a blog site about Cincinnati politics. Sometimes the bloggers there address non political topics and had this one today?
Last weekend, I watched the Reds beat the Pirates, 2-0, from a sun-soaked, right field seat. As the back of my neck burned, I couldn't help but notice the crane, which is installed for the Great American Tower construction, looming over the ballpark.
And I wondered: will the Great American Tower impact games at Great American Ballpark? Is it close enough to block wind from the north (keeping balls from carrying out to right on a day they otherwise might do so)? Or instead, will the wind move around the Tower and become stronger (some sort of wind tunnel effect) by the time it gets to the stadium? Or will the new building have no impact at all, apart from giving folks in the sun deck something to look at between innings?
And speaking of looking at the building, will all that glass create a glare/reflection during day games that could distract a right-fielder (or first- or second-baseman) trying to catch a pop fly?
Anyone have any answers? And how cool would it be to watch part of a game from the "tiara"? (That is, of course, once we come up with a more manly word for the top of Cincinnati's tallest building than the tiara....)
So any thoughts on the question? Any architectural engineers or physics majors?
The link for the blog entry is
BTW, I think the wind question might not be much of a factor. I don't think it's often we get wind coming in from that direction. Likewise, it may be possible that it's far enough away (200 yards?) that it doesn't impact that portion of the issue.

Watson will look to get back on track in February. | Dave
A new middleweight pairing has been added to UFC 169, as Tom Watson will face Nick Catone at the Feb. 1 event.
Anchored by a pair title fights, UFC 169 will feature the return of bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz following a two-year injury hiatus, as "The Dominator" meets interim belt holder Renan Barao in a title unification headliner.
UFC 169 takes place at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and will also see featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo put his gold on the line against Ricardo Lamas in the evening's co-main event.
Watson made his UFC debut in September 2012, when he narrowly lost to Brad Tavares via split decision. Since that setback, the Brit has alternated between wins and losses, stopping Stanislav Nedkov at UFC on Fuel TV 7 before falling to Thales Leites in a unanimous verdict this past August.
In Catone, Watson faces a seven-time UFC veteran looking to snap a two-fight losing streak. The New Jersey native has not competed since December of last year and saw a planned UFC 159 booking scratched this past April when he missed weight and was hospitalized due to dehydration.

Hi. If I buy an iPad in Spain, will I have access to buy the same iBooks as if I had bought it in the US? I'm not asking if I can buy translated books, but the original version. Thank you.
If you want more than the available free books you also need someone who buys you an american itunes giftcard besides an us-id. You can create 2 accounts, but money is non transferable (I tried for the same reasons). If you set up an account in Euros, this account will be stuck with your country due to currency reasons. And I haven't sent any of my friends to walmart yet to get me an itunes-giftcard-code.
It's possible to get US iTunes cards via well known internet auction sites. If you mail them and request they email you the code they might do, although I believe Apple T&C's state you have to get the physical card.. But meh...
Hi I have US account even, i live in Singapore time to time some friend buy me online iTunes card , i have keep my previous itunes account just change the country and give a US itunes card number as payment … it work fine … concerning the book is a little different as in US iBooks you have 60% to 70% english and the balance is in spanish … paid attention to the fact some spanish app's will not be available in US market (copyright reason) like many US are not available outside US itunes store (like scrabble)
You've got to be careful with this one. I tried it and it wouldn't let me change my country because I still had some 20 Euro cents on my account. It told me that as long as I have european currency on my account, I cannot switch. And it's really hard "exactly" get down to 0 cents when you charge up an account.
Terms of Service Apple's iTunes Store Terms of Service for US Customers says: The Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance. Presumably, you risk them doing something unpleasant if they find you've violated this provision.
You surely do.... As a bilingual speaker though, I don't want to get restricted by a company's terms. And there's still the weber app which I'd love to have. I didn't ask my friends yet for a US itunes card, but I surely will some time.
Someone told me that Apple finds this to be the easiest way of not running afoul of licensing and other limitations on sale of books, etc. But it's a huge problem in a global environment. I am addicted to "Krimi" books (Mystery storys) but can't gain access to many of them because I'm living in the US and my favorite authors aren't available in English. I never thought of having relatives send me iTunes gift cards from home. This Forum is really helpful.
Guess what: instead of bothering friends (I lived in NC for 3 years) or family, we could just go and get itunes cards for each other!!! I don't care about the exchange rate, so I would take $15-card for Euro15-card. I've seen a lot that nominal prices for gadgets and such were pretty similar here and in the US. We could possibly pm for that if you'd like

Congratulations to my recent giveaway winners.
Winner of the Pampered Chef Cookbook was Marthalynn and winner of the Purex Crystals and Jockey Sports Bra was Jamilia. Congrats again and thanks for entering. I saw a recipe for a similar casserole at 3 Boys and a Dog. I changed some of the ingredients and preparation methods and it was delicious. There are several steps to this, but you can do some of them ahead. When we sat down to dinner my 4 year old said, "Mommy I don't think I'm going to like this." Then he said, "Yum!" I asked, "Do you like it?" and he answered, "I love it!" Chicken, Rice and Broccoli Casserole
Ingredients: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins or 2 chicken breasts ½ cup diced onion ½ cup diced celery 1 T. butter 2 crowns fresh broccoli 1 can cream of chicken soup 3 cups cooked rice (use broth leftover from cooking the chicken to prepare the rice) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1. Put chicken in a crock pot and cover with enough water that you will have a nice broth to make the rice later. Cook on low about 8 hours. 2. Saute onion and celery in butter until tender and the onion has caramelized. 3. Cut up broccoli crowns and steam until tender. 4. Shred chicken with two forks. Strain the broth and measure the amount needed to make your rice. 5. Make rice according to package directions using the leftover chicken broth in place of the water. 6. Combine chicken, onion and celery, steamed broccoli, cream of chicken soup, cooked rice and 1 cup shredded cheese. Put into a large greased casserole and top with remaining 1 cup of cheese. 7. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly, about 10 minutes. 10,000 coupons a day for 5 days. Check the calendar exact days and times for availability. They will go fast. First coupons go live Monday, January 23 3pm EST, 12pm PST. Go to Facebook for your coupons starting on Monday. Mamasource is offering a deal on Eating Well magazine. $6 for a subscription. I used to get this magazine and it was one of my favorites. The recipes are really good and healthy. When I quit teaching and we went to one income, I did not renew any of our subscriptions. I was so excited to see this deal and just re-subscribed. Disclosure: The above link is my refferal link. Jockey and Purex Crystals teamed up to offer this great giveaway. I received a Jockey Tech Terry sports bra featuring moisture wicking technology and a bottle of Purex Crystals Tropical Splash fabric softener for review. One lucky reader will also win these. The sports bra I received is actually a little tight on me which might be due to the fact that I am currently nursing. I usually wear a S (4/6) and I received a M size sports bra. I would be more comfortable in a L so I would advise the winner and anyone interested in purchasing this bra from Jockey to order a size up. It is a well made bra and I think it is actually attractive. Mine is black, but I do not know what color the winner will receive. Jockey is offering a 20% off coupon. Below are the stats for this sports bra. One reader will also win a bottle of Purex Crystals with which to wash her new sports bra. Most fabric softeners have oils that can prevent the wicking process of performance sportswear. Purex Crystals do not contain oil, so it can safely be used on all laundry including:
One lucky reader will win both a Jockey sports bra and a bottle of Purex Crystals. Contest is over. Thanks for entering. There were 173 entries. Disclosure: Jockey and Purex provided free samples of their products so I could review them. All opinions are honest and are my own. I think you will love this fun new giveaway. I teamed up with several other bloggers to give away a Kindle Fire ($199) to one lucky reader. This WiFi enabled tablet will give you access to thousands of popular apps as well as 19 million movies, TV shows, songs, magazines, and books.
Contest is now over. There were 174, 530 entries. Thanks to all who entered. Here is a new Pampers Gifts to Grow Code. Even if you don't have kids, you can bank promotional codes. They add up and you can get free stuff. This one is worth 10 pts. FBMLKKU4RPP6P12 Thanks Freebies 4 Mom. You can sign-up for free samples and coupons from P&G. Click on "Samples & Coupons" in the header. There are several great coupons and samples available now including Crest, Gilette, Downy, Dawn, Prilosec, and my favorite Pampers. Thanks Coupon Geek. It is 9 degrees here tonight so I made a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. My Mom makes the best chicken noodle soup - the old fashioned way with a whole chicken. I prefer this simpler recipe that I have been perfecting for some time. I use the chicken base to help give it the flavor that it would otherwise be lacking since I am not making a true homemade broth from a whole chicken. The cajun seasoning is not overly spicy and adds another depth to the flavor that is just plain good. Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients: 1 onion diced 3 cloves garlic minced 1 stalk celery diced 2 T. butter 14 C. water 10 t. chicken base or bouillon 1 lb. boneless chicken 1 t. salt 1 t. Cajun seasoning 1 C. sliced carrots 1 C. frozen peas 12 oz. Amish home-style egg noodles 1. In a large pot, sauté onion, garlic and celery in butter until tender and caramelized. 2. Add water, chicken base, chicken, salt and Cajun seasoning. Cook on low for about an hour or until chicken is cooked. 3. Remove chicken from the pot and shred/chop it with a knife and a fork. Return the chicken to the pot. Add sliced carrots and peas and bring pot to a boil. 4. Add noodles and continue to boil uncovered 20-28 minutes or until noodles are cooked. |

Microsoft Stresses Future Products While GNU/Linux and SaaS Eliminate Microsoft's Profitability
Summary: Microsoft has no immediate response to sharply-declining margins, so it hastily points to products that do not exist yet
THE TRUE impact of GNU/Linux [1, 2] on Microsoft's poor results (and subsequent sharp fall, which was expected [1, 2]) is one that even Mac sites have taken note of. From Roughly Drafted:
The Vista Myth: Why Windows 7 Won't Turn Microsoft Around
After posting a spectacular 17% revenue drop, the company's first ever year over year decline, Microsoft and its satellite pundits have assembled a seemingly plausible distraction/solution going forward: Windows 7 will boost sales of generic PCs back into orbit and erase the crater caused by Vista and the recession. They're wrong, here's why.
Microsoft is facing multiple competitors in the low end arena as well. One is the threat posed by free distributions of Linux and Android, which can potentially stand in place of Windows on low end hardware, resulting in major savings to manufacturers. So far, Microsoft has been able to scuttle adoption of Linux on netbooks by dumping Windows XP licenses on manufacturers for free. That's obviously not a long term strategy, as Microsoft simply can't run the Linux community out of business, nor can it keep giving away software for a growing segment of the PC business.
Mr. Ballmer, welcome to 2009. It's not developers, developers, developers that you need, it's customers, customers, customers.
It remains a sad fact that Microsoft uses a product which does not exist yet (Vista 7) to justify its fantasy about marvelous comebacks. █
"[W]e're not going to have products that are much more successful than Vista has been."

Problem accessing SQL Server using ASP.NET
My question is about frequent 680 and 529 events. We have a Web server running Win2K server that has the local user ASP.NET on it. This user is repeatedly trying to access resources on one of our SQL servers, which is running Win2K advanced server, causing the events to be generated. I have given information on the dates and times of the events coming from the SQL server to our Web team, but they can't figure out what is causing the problem. From what I could see, there are no drive mappings on the Web server to the SQL server or anything like that. Have you seen this type of thing before, or do you have any ideas what or how the ASP.NET user is trying to access the SQL server? Thanks for your time and your help. The events generated from the SQL server are as follows:

By default ASP.NET applications use the ASP.NET account to access data. The SQL Server is not configured by default to allow access for this account to SQL databases and resources. Remember, file shares are not the only way to access data. WEB DAV, and Web servers can also be configured as part of an application that requires access to SQL data. Ask the Web team to look at ASP.NET applications that use the database and possible error messages that indicate failures.
If the ASP.NET account should be accessing data, then it can be configured to do so. Go to this link for more information. It's most likely that there is some process in the application that is attempting the access. Also, don't rule out an attempt by an attacker to use an ASP.NET application to attempt to obtain data by using it to run SQL queries.

Mining town stuck on the shoulder of the information superhighway
By Mike Anton
Here on the shoulder of the information superhighway, smartphones turn stupid, streaming videos shrink to a trickle and a simple download drags like a flat tire.
Darwin is a former mining town cloistered in the high desert mountains between Death Valley National Park and the China Lake naval weapons testing center. Finding it isn't easy — a sign that marked the turnoff from California Highway 190 was stolen recently.
In Darwin, there is no food, gas or lodging — or any businesses, for that matter. There is one stop sign. People emerge from their mobile homes and reclaimed miner's shacks shortly after 11:30 each morning and walk to the post office to greet the mail's arrival.
A sign at the edge of town announces Darwin's population as "50 or so." It's actually about three dozen, and they are outnumbered 3 to 1 by abandoned cars. There are retirees, artists, loners, eccentrics — independent souls who've accepted that the price of living in California's tranquil outback is a 90-mile drive to the nearest shopping center.

Mark Carney was convinced he would one day be a major force in Canada's National Hockey League. As a teenager, the son of an academic father would watch ice hockey great Wayne Gretzky slapshot his way to goal scoring records for the Edmonton Oilers, but the best he ever did was warm the bench as reserve goalie for the Harvard University team.
That's not bad, but not good enough for a highly motivated brainiac whose competitive steel led him to compete on high school quiz show Reach for the Top. It's no coincidence that Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, is another to have taken their television bow on the show.
Having failed to reach the top of professional sport, Carney instead made the grade in the rarefied arena of central banking. Rather than facing vulcanised rubber pucks hurtling at him 100mph for a living, Carney last week found himself in the line of fiery questioning from a Treasury Select Committee: the MPs wanted to know how he could possibly be worth the £800,000 a year pay-and-perks package that Chancellor George Osborne OK-ed to lure him from Ottawa to succeed Sir Mervyn King at the Bank of England.
It's a shame that Carney's predecessor at the Bank of Canada, David Dodge, wasn't sitting alongside the 47-year-old on Thursday. While Carney handled the questioning well and coolly deflected the criticism, pointing out that Ottawa is an awful lot cheaper place to live than London [see box], Dodge would likely have told them that they get what they pay for.
Dodge, himself a surprise choice to take over the Bank of Canada in 2001, spotted Carney's work for Goldman Sachs in Toronto's Bay Street financial district, having asked for a transfer from the US so he could start a family back home. That he is now willing to take British citizenship, despite having an English wife he met when studying at Oxford, is therefore a bit of a surprise.
The now 69-year-old Dodge even told a friend at the time that he had found his successor and it is clear that he was very proud when his apprentice ascended to the top job in 2008. However, a senior economist at a British fund argues: "Dodge put a lot of the foundations in place, built the credibility of the Bank of Canada. Carney could be seen as the 'lucky' governor – though, like Napoleon and his generals, Osborne might want a lucky governor."
Carney's luck can be seen as he was a governor for a resources rich nation that has long-adhered to strict inflation targets – renewed before he took the top job. These were the main reason for Canada's almost unique success in navigating the financial crisis. Dodge, though, thinks there is more to Carney's success than good fortune.
"Mark's experience of the international scene and the macro-prudential scene domestically will be tremendously helpful when he's at the Bank of England," Dodge gushes. "Mark's a very good manager. And this is going to be a difficult management job: there can be a conflict between doing both a regulatory and a monetary job, that's always tough, a big job and not a typical job."
Carney's "mega-challenge", argues Dodge, is going to be oversee the integration of the Bank's new regulatory powers, such as supervising the banks to make sure they don't once more send the British economy into free-fall, with its traditional monetary policy powers.
It could even be argued that Carney's job is therefore twice that of Sir Mervyn's, though unlike the 64-year-old Aston Villa fan those managerial skills should at least mean he will be able to delegate. Sir Mervyn was regularly criticised for building so much of the Bank around himself. Danny Blanchflower, a former member of the Monetary Policy Committee and a columnist for The Independent, has even branded him "a tyrant who looks to his own advantage rather than that of his subjects".
Even one of Carney's greatest advocates admits that his reputation was "helped when commodities went up" during the financial crisis, with demand from Asia generally remaining high. However, Carney also didn't change Canada's 2 per cent inflation target when it was renewed on his watch in 2011, which seems to suggest he will maintain the Bank of England's stated goal of keeping prices down despite some off-the-cuff comments that read like he would pursue a growth agenda.
Carney could well have struggles within the Bank itself. Unusually, the MPC issued a statement with its no-change interest rate decision last week, saying that the Bank will reinvest the proceeds of £6.6bn in maturing gilts bought when quantitative easing started in 2009.
A source close to the MPC claims that as well as ensuring markets were not spooked by sitting on the money, which would be considered a sign that QE policy, colloquially referred to as "money-printing", might be tightening, this could also be seen as a warning to Carney: whatever your reputation, you must not change this course.
The source, one of many who question the rationale of continuing with a policy that hasn't proven to have salvaged an economy that could end up in a triple dip recession.
Carney, though, has already shown himself practical enough to avoid decision-making based on petty loyalties. In the select committee, he backed the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) over his biggest fan, the Chancellor, on what leverage caps should be imposed on British banks. He agreed with the ICB that more of the banks' assets should be held on a bank's balance sheet than Osborne wants, who claims that this would be a costly amount – though both argue that these buffers are necessary to help the institutions absorb any further financial shocks.
Carney said: "If I had to pick one reason why Canadian banks fared as well as they did, it was because we had a leverage ratio."
As importantly, Carney also argued that research at his current employer shows that QE is faltering, so the MPC's claim that the policy boosts demand could well be flawed.
Carney might well have to strap on the protective goalie gear once more if he has to take on his new senior staff at the same time he is overseeing what could be a painful integration of the Bank's roles in the post-Sir Mervyn world.
Housing Market
A lot of the anger over Carney's remuneration package has centred around a £250,000 housing award. But that, actually, does not go that far in central London for someone who can expect reasonably comfortable accommodation.
After tax, that amount is likely to be under £3,000 a week to be used for rent. For example, he could splash out £2,850 a week for a three bedroom, lower-ground apartment in Knightsbridge that's currently being advertised by Foxtons but that would mean his four children might have to take bunk beds in two of them.
However, at least his kids would have access to a garden, a bit of a rarity in the capital's centre.

Hi I've been out of the Wii scene for a while. In order to add the lovefilm channel does the WII need a Nintendo update or is there another way Thanks
What do you mean by another way? like through a wad manager? IIRC through a wad manager one can install the updated shop channel without updating through the official method. one can download the wii shop wad from modmii what concerns you about updating your wii? in terms of homebrew and the like since it is affected by official updates.
It's his best bet probably ...going though eshop channel would require a update anyways... Get the wad and go with it (or update the eshop channel installing a updated wad, then enter the eshop so you can download the intended channel as you normally would)

can't believe whatvwas such a beautiful beach just a year ago has turned into an area of land mines of rocks,coral, and sandbags. So hard to look at...those people in the chairs are on the verge of sliding off the cliff...thanks for the pics..hoping selfishly, I have a dream tonight and the beach that once was only a short year ago returns to it's pristine self. Hope they find that money they lost so they can do something to fix or at least patch up the really badly effected areas.

I know.....but it didn't seem fake when I was there...it was magnificent...and being that it was the first time I had been to Playa, I thought that the beach would be and stay like it was a year ago....or so I hoped. Mother nature needs to change it's mood on how it's affecting the beach...I wish.

IMHO they should tear down the illegal pier. Maybe it isn't relevant, but I remember a nice beach for everyone except Porto real before that was built. Seems to me that porto real built entirely too close to the water.
How did El taj get approval to build that little short pier(that is now a bird sanctuary since you can not longer reach it) Seems that it too only exacerbated the beach erosion problem. |

Bringing newbies down, staying at the Playa Maya, so sad. Really.
first time down was in 2005. Why did they do anything? the beach seemed fined then!.(i mean i know why, i'm just being cranky about it) I am just pouting and spewing because i am so sad right now. Here's hoping mother nature takes some pity. At least before we get there, sigh. Thanks everyone for the continuing updates and pictures, appreciate them, really. Keep it up. KIM |

A plantar wart is caused by the human papillomavirus (HVP), which causes the top layer of skin to thicken in a small area. Some warts stay small, but they can grow quite large and cluster an entire area of the foot if left untreated.
Anyone can get them, but some people are more susceptible. Children between 12 and 16 are most affected by plantar warts because they're more likely to go barefoot in public areas. In addition, those who have undergone an organ transplant or chemotherapy are at risk because their immune systems are compromised. Plantar warts are exclusive to the feet: There is no chance that this type of wart will spread to other areas of your body.
The virus that causes plantar warts can enter the body through a cut or small abrasion on the foot. Plantar warts spread easily throughout community areas such as public swimming pools, change rooms and anyplace you'd walk barefoot. They can also spread from one family member to another if the carrier doesn't wear shoes or slippers indoors.
A plantar wart usually starts off as a small, rough yellow or brown spot on the sole of the foot. Initially, it won't even be that noticeable, but over time, it will grow and resemble a callous. A plantar wart is flat against the skin and peppered with small black specks, which are broken blood vessels. Although plantar warts aren't dangerous to your health, their presence can result in foot pain due to pressure on your sole when walking.
Although some plantar warts go away on their own, stubborn warts can take up to two years to diminish. In the meantime, the wart has a chance to spread to other areas of the foot, resulting in a cluster that will be more difficult to treat. You'll probably need medical intervention to eradicate a plantar wart. Here are a few strategies your doctor may employ or suggest:
Cryotherapy: Your doctor applies liquid nitrogen on the wart to freeze it, jumpstarting your immune system to fight the virus and diminish the wart.
Salicylic acid: Your doctor applies 40 percent liquid salicylic acid to the wart.
Laser and surgical removal: Laser treatment is successful in some cases. For very stubborn plantar warts that cause severe localized pain or are very deeply rooted, surgical removal is used as a last resort.
Over-the-counter kits: Over the last few years, some over-the-counter medications have become available. These products can be useful while the warts are still small but may not be work as well for large warts or a multitude in one area. They come with a freezing compound similar to what your doctor would use, but the ingredients typically are not as concentrated.
The best approach to preventing plantar warts is to be stringent about wearing shoes or sandals in public areas -- especially swimming pools, the beach and changing rooms of any sort. If a household member develops a plantar wart, ensure that she has her own towel and bath mat exclusively and wears shoes or slippers to prevent the warts from spreading. If you own a swimming pool or have regular access to one, seek treatment for the plantar wart as soon as possible to prevent the virus from spreading. A little precaution can keep your feet free of these pesky warts.

Bliss Points in Mean-Variance Portfolio ModelsDavid S. Jones, V. Vance Roley
NBER Technical Working Paper No. 19 When all financial assets have risky returns, the mean-variance portfolio model is potentially subject to two types of bliss points. One bliss point arises when a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function displays negative marginal utility for sufficiently large end-of-period wealth, such as in quadratic utility. The second type of bliss point involves satiation in terms of beginning-of-period wealth and afflicts many commonly used mean-variance preference functions. This paper shows that the two types of bliss points are logically independent of one another and that the latter places the effective constraint on an investor's welfare. The paper also uses Samuelson's Fundamental Approximation Theorem to motivate a particular mean-variance portfolio choice model which is not affected by either type of bliss point.
