Japan earthquake: Footage of blast at nuclear plant
Note the supersonic shockwave from this greatly slowed down video.
I believe this was a hydrogen explosion due to the core overheating.
Big fear during Three Mile Island actually happened in Japan this morning.
I think it is fair to say that the situation is out of control at this facility.

Here we go sports fans, strap on your hernia belts.
10:59pm Of 90 people from within the 10km exclusion zone around Fukushima nuclear power plant tested, three have given positive results for radiation exposure, says Japanese public broadcaster NHK. That's just over three per cent.
10:54pm Japanese authorities are making plans to distribute iodine to residents near the Fukushima nuclear plant. This helps to protect against radiation poisoning of the thyroid gland.

Thought to be hydrogen explosion. Heavily fortified reactor vessel inside believed to be still intact (for now.) Fuel rods were already slightly exposed from water. Media stating radiation level has actually decreased since explosion, however container building explosion likely took out cranes and other devices necessary to manipulate core material and/or manipulate emergency cooling methods. Evacuation zone moved out to 20 Km. Sea water now being considered for emergency cooling

The area near the plant has just sustained a 6.4 earthquake and now white smoke is being observed coming from a reactor building.
Press Release (Mar 12,2011)
White smoke around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1
On March 11, 2011, turbines and reactors of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Station Unit 1(Boiling Water Reactor, Rated Output 460 MW) and
Unit 2 and 3 (Boiling Water Reactor, Rated Output 784 MW) that had been
operating at rated power automatically shutdown due to the
Tohoku-Chihou-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake.(already announced)
Today at approximately 3:36PM, a big quake occurred and there was a big
sound around the Unit 1 and white smoke.
Our two employees and two subcontract workers working for the safety of
the plant were injured and transported to the hospital.
We are presently checking on the site situation of each plant and effect
of discharged radioactive materials.
We will endeavor to restore the units and continue monitoring the
environment of the site periphery.

Thanks Red.
I went to bed and woke up to news of the quake. Last night, I didn't want to go to sleep fearing the worst with the nuke plants. Woke up to this news...
If momentum was a factor, then it seems all the momentum is going toward the negative. There hasn't been any positive news yet regarding the nuke situation and it seems to get worse and worse as moments pass. It really doesn't look good, does it?

Huge blast at Japan nuclear power plant
Richard Black By Richard Black Environment correspondent, BBC News
The word "meltdown" goes to the heart of the big nuclear question - is nuclear power safe?
The term is associated in the public mind with the two most notorious accidents in recent memory - Three Mile Island, in the US, in 1979, and Chernobyl, in Ukraine, seven years later.
You can think of the core of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), such as the ones at Fukushima Daiichi, as a massive version of the electrical element you may have in your kettle.
It sits there, immersed in water, getting very hot.
The water cools it, and also carries the heat away - usually as steam - so it can be used to turn turbines and generate electricity.
If the water stops flowing, there is a problem. The core overheats and more of the water turns to steam.
The steam generates huge pressures inside the reactor vessel - a big, sealed container - and if the largely metal core gets too hot, it will just melt, with some components perhaps catching fire.
In the worst-case scenario, the core melts through the bottom of the reactor vessel and falls onto the floor of the containment vessel - an outer sealed unit.
This is designed to prevent the molten reactor from penetrating any further. Local damage in this case will be serious, but in principle there should be no leakage of radioactive material into the outside world.
But the term "in principle" is the difficult one.
Reactors are designed to have "multiply redundant" safety features: if one fails, another should contain the problem.
However, the fact that this does not always work is shown at Fukushima Daiichi.
The earthquake meant the three functioning reactors shut down. But it also removed the power that kept the vital water pumps running, sending cooling water around the hot core.
Diesel generators were installed to provide power in such a situation. They did cut in - but then they cut out again an hour later, for reasons that have not yet been revealed.
In this case, redundancy did not work. And the big fear within the anti-nuclear movement, as used in the film The China Syndrome, is that the multiple containment of a molten core might not work either, allowing highly radioactive and toxic metals to burrow into the ground, with serious and long-lasting environmental impacts - total meltdown.
However, the counter-argument from nuclear proponents is that the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island did not cause any serious effects.
Yes, the core melted, but the containment systems held.
And at Chernobyl - a reactor design regarded in the West as inherently unsafe, and which would not have been sanctioned in any non-Soviet bloc nation - the environmental impacts occurred through explosive release of material into the air, not from a melting reactor core.
To keep things in perspective, no nuclear accident has caused anything approaching the 1,000 fatalities stemming from Friday's earthquake and tsunami.
'Subcritical' reactors
Whether a partial meltdown is under way at Fukushima Daiichi is not yet clear.
The most important factor is summed up in a bulletin from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) that owns the facility: "Control rods are fully inserted (reactor is in subcritical status)."
Smoke billowing from Fukushima nuclear plant A large explosion was seen at the plant with debris blow out from the building
Control rods shut off the nuclear reaction. Heat continues to be produced at that stage through the decay of radioactive nuclei - but that process in turn will begin to tail off.
Intriguingly, Ryohei Shiomi, an official at Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission, is widely quoted as having said a meltdown was possible and that officials were checking.
Meanwhile, a visually dramatic explosion in one of the reactor buildings has at least severely damaged the external walls.
In principle, this should not cause leakage of radioactive material because the building is just an outside shell; the job of keeping dangerous materials sealed in falls to the the metal containment vessel inside.
Chief cabinet secretary Chief Yukio Edano confirmed this was the case, saying: "The concrete building collapsed. We found out that the reactor container inside didn't explode."
He attributed the explosion to a build-up of hydrogen, related in turn to the cooling problem.
Under pressure
The only release of any radioactive material that we know about so far concerns venting of the containment vessel.
When steam pressure builds up in the reactor vessel, it stops some of the emergency cooling systems working, and so some of the steam is released into the containment vessel.
However, according to World Nuclear News, an industry newsletter, this caused pressure in the containment vessel to rise to twice the intended operating level, so the decision was taken to vent some of this into the atmosphere.
In principle, this should contain only short-lived radioactive isotopes such as nitrogen-16 produced through the water's exposure to the core. Venting this would be likely to produce short-lived gamma-ray activity - which has, reportedly, been detected.
One factor that has yet to be explained is the apparent detection of radioactive isotopes of caesium.
This is produced during the nuclear reaction, and should be confined within the reactor core.
If it has been detected outside the plant, that could imply that the core has begun to disintegrate.
"If any of the fuel rods have been compromised, there would be evidence of a small amount of radioisotopes in the atmosphere [such as] radio-caesium and radio-iodine," says Paddy Regan, professor of nuclear physics at the UK's University of Surrey.
"The amount that you measure would tell you to what degree the fuel rods have been compromised."
It is an important question - but as yet, unanswered.
Cover-ups and questions
In fact, the whole incident so far contains more questions than answers.
Parallels with Three Mile Island and Chernobyl suggest that while some answers will materialise soon, it may takes months, even years, for the full picture to emerge.
How that happens depends in large part on the approach taken by Tepco and Japan's nuclear authorities.
As with its counterparts in many other countries, Japan's nuclear industry has not exactly been renowned for openness and transparency.
Tepco itself has been implicated in a series of cover-ups down the years.
In 2002, the chairman and four other executives resigned, suspected of having falsified safety records at Tepco power stations.
Further examples of falsification were identified in 2006 and 2007.
In the longer term, Fukushima Daiichi raises several more very big questions, inside and outside Japan.
Given that this is not the first time a Japanese nuclear station has been hit by earthquake damage, is it wise to build such stations along the east coast, given that such a seismically active zone lies just offshore?
And given that Three Mile Island effectively shut down the construction of civilian nuclear reactors in the US for 30 years, what impact is Fukushima Daiichi likely to have in an era when many countries, not least the UK, are looking to re-enter the nuclear industry?
Folks, this is a desperate last ditch effort to prevent a full scale meltdown of the stricken reactor.
They are attempting to scuttle the reactor by any means possible. This may result in another hydrogen explosion and also greatly increases the risk of additional radiation leakage.
This is a true emergency as they have to do -anything- right now to prevent a core meltdown. RB
10:29pm The operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co, will fill the leaking reactor with sea water to cool it down and reduce pressure in the unit, a government spokesman says. Cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said:
The nuclear reactor is surrounded by a steel reactor container, which is then surrounded by a concrete building.
The concrete building collapsed. We found out that the reactor container inside didn't explode.
Authorities earlier warned of a reactor meltdown at the reactor, damaged when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck the northeast coast, but said the risk of radiation contamination was small.
We've confirmed that the reactor container was not damaged. The explosion didn't occur inside the reactor container. As such there was no large amount of radiation leakage outside.
At this point, there has been no major change to the level of radiation leakage outside, so we'd like everyone to respond calmly.
We've decided to fill the reactor container with sea water. Trade minister Kaieda has instructed us to do so. By doing this, we will use boric acid to prevent criticality.
It is expected to take between five and ten hours to fill the reactor core with sea water - and around ten days to complete the process.
Edano said due to the falling level of cooling water, hydrogen was generated and that leaked to the space between the building and the container and the explosion happened when the hydrogen mixed with oxygen there.

Battle to stabilise earthquake reactors
12 March 2011
UPDATE 8: 1.35 pm GMT
Attention is focused on the Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear power plants as Japan struggles to cope in the aftermath of its worst earthquake in recorded history. An explosion has been seen at the site and seawater is now being injected to the plant.
Three of Fukushima Daiichi's six reactors were in operation when yesterday's quake hit, at which point they shut down automatically and commenced removal of residual heat with the help of emergency diesel generators. These suddenly stopped about an hour later, and this has been put down to tsunami flooding by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The loss of the diesels led the plant owners Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) to immediately notify the government of a technical emergency situation, which allows officials to take additional precautionary measures.
For many hours the primary focus of work at the site was to connect enough portable power modules to fully replace the diesels and enable the full operation of cooling systems.
Pressure and releases
Without enough power for cooling systems, decay heat from the reactor cores of units 1, 2 and 3 has gradually reduced coolant water levels through evaporation. The consequent increase in pressure in the coolant circuit can be managed via pressure release valves. However, this leads to an increase in pressure within the reactor building containment. Tepco has said that the pressure within the containment of Fukushima Daiichi 1 has reached around 840 kPa, compared to reference levels of 400 kPa.
The company has decided to manage this "for those units that cannot confirm certain levels of water injection" by means of a controlled release of air and water vapour to the atmosphere. Because this water has been through the reactor core, this would inevitably mean a certain release of radiation. The IAEA said this would be filtered to retain radiation within the containment. Tepco has confirmed it was in the process of relieving pressure at unit 1 while preparing to do the same for units 2 and 3
Television cameras trained on the plant captured a dramatic explosion surrounding unit 1 at around 6pm. Amid a visible pressure release and a cloud of dust it was not possible to know the extent of the damage. The external building structure does not act as the containment, which is an airtight engineered boundary within. According to reported comments attributed to chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano, the containment has not been comprimised.
Monitoring of Fukushima Daiichi 1 had previously shown an increase in radiation levels detected emerging from the plant via routes such as the exhaust stack and the discharge canal. Tepco have said that the amount of radioactive material such as iodine it is detecting have been increasing. The amount of radiation at the site boundary now exceeds a regulatory limit triggering another set of emergency precautions.
To protect the public from potential health effects of radioactive isotopes of iodine that could potentially be released, authorities are preparing to distribute tablets of non-radioactive potassium-iodide. This is quickly taken up by the body and its presence prevents the take-up of iodine should people be exposed to it.
The injection of seawater into the building followed 8.20pm and this will be followed by addition of boric acid, which is used to inhibit nuclear reactions.
Over the last several hours evacuation orders for local residents have been incrementally increased and now cover people living within 20 kilometres of the power plant.
Raised temperatures
Meanwhile at adjacent Fukushima Daini, where four reactors have been shut down safely since the earthquake hit, Tepco has notified government of another emergency status.
Unit 1's reactor core isolation cooling system had been operating normally, and this was later supplemented by a separate make-up water condensate system. However, the latter was lost at 5.32am local time when its suppression chamber reached 100ºC. This led Tepco to notify government of another technical emergency situation.
Tepco has announced it has decided to prepare for controlled releases to ease pressure in the containments of all four units at Fukushima Daini.
A three kilometre evacuation is in progress, with residents in a zone out to ten kilometres given notice of potential expansion.
A seriously injured worker was trapped within Fukushima Daiichi unit 1 in the crane operating console of the exhaust stack and is now confirmed to have died. At Fukushima Daiini unit 3 one worker received a radiation dose of 106 mSv. This is comparable to levels deemed acceptable in emergency situations by the UK Health and Safety Executive, for example.

As I posted on another thread!
They have the wrong people in charge and they do not take this seriously enough. They needed to get generators to the plants no matter what, what ever it takes including running over anyone the won't get out of the way of a giant pay-loader pushing its way to the power plant with a generator.
They waited too long to get outside help, tried to "internalize" the problem and it appears to have gotten literally out of control.
The loss of back-up power is going to be a huge scandal.
I also read where the water intake screens may have been clogged from the tsunami and confused efforts to diagnose the problem.

We'd been getting slammed all yesterday, now orders coming in on-line at rate of one per minute or more.
Will be sold out of current KI shortly and shifting to Plan 'B', our emergency back-up supply of 6.2 million doses, soon.
I won't be on-line much anymore till things cool down.
Best info we have for this developing Japan situation, especially for those in U.S., is our 'When An Ill Wind Blows From Afar' guide...
Pointing others to it in my absence, will be helpful to many trying to sort this all out and help avert panic amongst some others.

I have a very limited understanding of nuclear power plants. I know that the nuclear materials get hot and cause steam which turns turbines and makes the electricity. I know that control rods between the rods are used to attract particles to prevent collisions of certain particles. The collisions are what make the heat, right?
So, what exactly is a "melt down?" I'm taking that it means things get so hot, that the melting point of every material in the reactor is reached at some stage, thus everything "melts?" I'm all guessing fires will start due to the intense heat? So after things start melting...that is what I want to know. What happens then? What is the danger, if any, to the US? Do the nuclear reactions continue to take place in some sort of melted glob of metal? Is the melt down material so hot that it melts down to the center of the Earth?
In a nutshell, the fuel rods melt into a lava-type material and the reactor core itself is compromised. At that point, an intact containment structure might keep the reaction mass contained for a time, but the fear would be that the mass would eventually burn through the structure, into the environment, where it could hit groundwater; radioactive sludge hitting H2O leads to steam type explosions, with fallout being blown into the atmosphere.
The fear for us would be the fallout making in into the jetstream and then falling on us - "fallout". We've taken fallout from foreign nuclear tests, but there's never been a full-out "China Syndrome" so results might well be different. IIRC Chernobyl was different - there was a fire from the outside air hitting the exposed reactor core that spread the contamination, not the fuel elements interacting with groundwater. So, we're going ever farther into unknown territory.
Yup. I heard they had 13 backup generators that all failed when the flood hit.The loss of back-up power is going to be a huge scandal.
Gotta wonder about some of the design decisions. I mean the plant is on the coast, what did they expect. Japan has more Tsunamis than anyplace on Earth I believe. Sure, this was a big one, but when you're talking about nuke plant safety, you've got to consider everything, including "once in a lifetime" events...
Why didn't they have a couple generators on the roof, or someplace else above any "potential" hi-water mark???
Yea, I know, 20-20...
Murphy's Laws of the Office #2 - To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer...
If the auto industry kept pace with the computer industry, a Rolls Royce would cost $1.99 and get 100,000 miles to the gallon...
Beam me up Scotty, there is no sign of intelligent life here...
The Temperature inside the reactor core is about 3000. Degrees and it will melt cement and steel and once containment is breached the will start put out radiation particulate into the atmosphere and radiate in evey direction also. Anyone that gets close to it at that point tying to contain it will likely die days later if not the next day, anyone within a mile or two of the plant will likely die in months or a year later and the land around will uninhabitable for maybe 100 to 200 years or more.
The airport there is the only one operational and where the rescue and relief efforts are being staged.
Talking head from the Heritage Foundation talking down the situation, saying the Japanese have it in hand, and this shows how "robust" their system is. I would argue that the exact opposite is happening; 24 hours ago, we were just getting hints that there were troubles, and right now there's a wrecked containment building, and they're trying to scuttle the reactor with seawater to prevent a meltdown, if there hasn't been a partial one already. Best at this point to assume that the Japanese gov is not letting the full story out, and that the situation is probably progressing to a worse case scenario, although I hope not for the residents around there.
Yes, thanks for the info Shane from me too. I couldn't find my potassium iodide pills so I put in an order with you this morning... V
For those that didn't order any KI tablets, here is the next best thing. I'd get to the pharmacy before it gets sold out. This is from Shane's site.
In an emergency, if no more KI tablets available here, you can topically (on the skin) apply an iodine solution, like tincture of iodine or Betadine, for a similar protective effect. (WARNING: Iodine is NEVER to be ingested or swallowed, it is poison to drink.) For adults, paint 8 ml of a 2 percent tincture of Iodine on the abdomen or forearm each day, ideally at least 2 hours prior to initial exposure. For children 3 to 18, but under 150 pounds, only half that amount painted on daily, or 4 ml. For children under 3 but older than a month, half again, or 2 ml. For newborns to 1 month old, half it again, or just 1 ml. (One measuring teaspoon is about 5 ml, if you don't have a medicine dropper graduated in ml.) If your iodine solution is stronger than 2%, reduce the dosage accordingly. Absorption through the skin is not as reliable a dosing method as using the tablets, but tests show that it will still be very effective for most.
Scary before and after images of the containment building:
I don't believe what the Japanese officials are telling the public. How do I know when to start taking KI tablets? I don't want to take longer than necessary. Here's a snip from Shane's site that gives the FDA's recommendations on taking KI.
(Potassium Iodide Tablets, U.S.P.)
(Pronounced poe-TASS-e-um EYE-oh-dyed)
(Abbreviated KI)
Use only as directed by State or local public health authorities in the event of a radiation emergency.DOSE
OLDER: One (1) tablet once a day. Crush for small children.
BABIES UNDER ONE YEAR OF AGE: One-half (1/2) tablet once a day. Crush first.
DOSAGE: Take for 10 days unless directed otherwise by State or local public health authorities.
Store at controlled room temperature between 15 and 30C (59 degrees to 86 degrees F). Keep bottle tightly closed and protect from light.
Potassium iodide should be taken as soon as possible after public health officials tell you. You should take one dose every 24 hours. More will not help you because the thyroid can "hold" only limited amounts of iodine. Larger doses will increase the risk of side effects. You will probably be told not to take the drug for more than 10 days.
I am one of the people that is allergic to Iodine. What are we supposed to do?
Does anyone know how effective Shane's KI tablets are if the expiration date is 2006. I happen to have a few bottles around from that time. I know his website said that they will still be effective, but does any one have any additional information?

I wish we could combine the 2 nuke threads. I'm not sure where to post what.
"I think the most un-American thing you can say is, 'You can't say that.' Garrison Keillor
"It's time to make your stand." - Mother Abigail
From what I have read, Pure Prussian Blue (a pigment- make sure it's 100%!) used to make Radiogardase is effective for many forms of radiation poisoning.It binds to the ions so they can be excreted from the body.
Remember, KI does not prevent radiation sickness; it only fills up the thyroid so one doesn't get thyroid cancer later.
Eating a diet rich in fruits and veggies can help speed recovery to lower doses of radiation. My guess is that it increases the speed of elimination from the body.
And another thing about the thyroid: it's most critical to "fill it up" for children and young adults. Us older people aren't nearly as susceptible to that form of radiation uptake.
Handy charts you can print out for reference.
Fox news just reported that over 190 people have signs of radiation sickness.
bought my KI from Shane years ago + i have some that the .govt sent to everybody as a proactive measure some years ago, shame the Japanese didn't do the same, it would have been easier than trying to distribute it now
Si vis pacem para bellum.
Reading from another forum, translation, that the USA is evacuating all its citizens from Japan. Is this true?
Also that the USA now is planning to distribute KI also?
Great question Cascadians, are there plans for a mass distribution in the States by TPTB. Even if some of us go out and buy it ourselves, I'm sure the supply will outweigh the demand.

Looking at the two photos carefully, they don't appear to be of the same location. Very similar, but not the same. Perhaps it's just different angles..... Whether the same or not, the devastation to the containment building is near total. Anything that would blast all that concrete out from the steel frames has to have damaged anything left inside the building, like the cores. Just IMO.
I notice that the unit having problems is the oldest at this site, in service 1971, forty years old? ETA: a friend has sent me a note that this reactor was built by US company General Electric GE. Let's hope they did a good job.

Iirc, I read elsewhere that the fuel rods are encased in some sort of other metal (zinc-based?) called "cladding"--I suppose it acts as sort of an "insulator" to hold the rods in?--and of course I know it's the "control" rods were (supposedly) inserted fully, thus preventing the fuel rods from coming into contact with one another and re-starting the fission process. HOWEVER--what I read, was that "if" the core overheated, the cladding itself would melt, and THAT would put the fuel rods back into contact with one another, re-starting the fission process and leading to full meltdown.
Can you tell me if I'm understanding this correctly, and if that is indeed a possible scenario?
The only "change" I CAN believe in: I Corinthians 15: 51-52!
Pretty sure this is the after effects of the explosion at Daiichi #1:

If you look at the before and after posted earlier, you can see the steel girders exposed above.
Largely intact actually, i'd imagine containment is not compromised at this point.

Under the plans, the development will feature marina berths for yachts up to 70m, a yacht club, offices, workshops, boutiques, restaurants, entertainment venues and a multilevel car park.
Director, Justin James says this will not be a regular marina. 'We are aiming to build a marina of international calibre – something you would see in the south of France or Monaco. It's a much-needed boost for the marine industry and locals, and will be great for tourism, appealing to a whole range of different users.'
He adds, Sydney and Australia as a tourism destination, will benefit from any development around the harbour, improve existing services for visitors and the public.
Contrary to reports in mainstream media, developers are not holding out for 'Chinese and Indian millionaires with their superyachts'. These markets, while promising, are not yet the yachting behemoths some pundits predicted.
'The main markets will be domestic permanent, domestic transient, and international superyachts visiting Sydney and Australia.'

Investment banker, Mark Carnegie, and a solicitor, Andrew Robinson, have a majority stake in the venture. The former South Sydney NRL player Brian James holds the remaining share. They have been promoting the concept for the past few years at yacht shows including Monaco and Fort Lauderdale, as part of Superyacht Australia and under their own banner of Sydney Superyacht Marina.
The 24-berth marina was originally built to host various visiting yachts during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games
, but the land was not developed beyond demountable buildings and a now-disused restaurant and is described as 'neglected' by prospective developers.
'Since that time, it has been the superyacht industry leader championing international superyacht visitation to Australia and driving the local industry,' says the developer in a statement.
'The proposed development seeks to upgrade the land based facilities to ensure the marina stays competitive with other world class superyacht marinas, to revitalise the maritime district, and to ensure the continuing economic benefits that such a facility brings to the NSW maritime industry and NSW economy as a whole.'
As James explains: 'Three buildings are proposed. The western building is proposed to include a registered yacht club, marine uses (such as offices, boat sales, staff and training services), and ancillary uses such as a provedore and restaurants. The eastern building is proposed to include marine offices, marine retail activity, and workshops together with other ancillary food and drink outlets.'
A car park building will be constructed behind the eastern building.
'This will become the beating heart of superyachting,' James adds.

The Planning Assessment Commission will determine the marina proposal under scrapped Part 3a laws. But Leichhardt and City of Sydney councils say no new development should be considered until a broader strategy for the bays precinct is finalised. It comprises 80 hectares of valuable foreshore land from Rozelle to Blackwattle Bay and White Bay.
Several developments affecting the precinct are in the works, including an approved cruise passenger terminal at White Bay and plans to establish a temporary pavilion at Glebe Island while the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre is redeveloped.
While 66 submissions were received to the Environmental Assessment from the general public raising concerns of noise and potential traffic congestion, SSYM addressed these with plans for construction of buildings using materials that meet Sound Transmission Class ratings and includes glazing with acoustic seals, self-locking doors and air locks for the yacht club, as well as committing to a curfew on outdoor music after 8pm (except on 5 special events per annum) and outdoor seating after 10pm.
Upgrading of the Rozelle and Blackwattle Bays Precinct road network by NSW Maritime and traffic will mitigate traffic congestion.
Once approved, James is forecasting a 12 month construction phase and once completed, the new precinct would provide around 50 full-time jobs.
Among the list of project benefits, James says will be 'a vibrant mixed use maritime precinct that sustains Sydney working harbour', an enhanced foreshore for public enjoyment, with 24 hour access and a boost to the NSW economy by attracting superyachts from overseas and increasing visitor expenditure in Sydney.
'It is estimated a vessel can generate $10,000 per vessel per day excluding maintenance and refit services. The NSW Superyacht Industry Association estimates that the superyacht industry in NSW generates in excess of $200 million annually and employs over 1,000 skilled people directly and indirectly.'

Finish-a-thon Unfinished
May. 27th, 2009 02:48 pm
I did not finish my finish-a-thon story. But if not for the finish-a-thon, I wouldn't even have started it, so I think I am still ahead. And I did start it, so, as per the rules of the finish-a-thon, I am posting a (thousand-word) portion of what I did write. Since it so happens that the first scene is just over a thousand words, the first scene is what you are getting.
I don't know what the title of the story is, yet.
I don't know what the title of the story is, yet.
Jo heard it before she saw it. The sound, so familiar, yet so tantalizingly unrecognisable. It wasn't a dying elephant, or a steam engine, or an explosion, but it was like all of these. She knew she should know what it was, but she couldn't quite remember. But it was enough to get her running out the door, running towards the sound, afraid and excited at once.
The outline in blue, fading into existence, was enough to make the last connection. It was the TARDIS!
The door opened, and a white-haired man staggered out, clutching his chest. A cloud of smoke poured out behind him.
"Doctor?" Jo said, reaching out for him. It wasn't the Doctor. Not the Doctor she knew.
His eyes widened with recognition. "Miss Grant," he said. "How ironic." His legs gave way under him, and she grabbed him before he fell, easing him to the ground.
"Doctor!" she said. He might not be the Doctor she knew, but she'd already met other versions of the Doctor who looked completely different from each other. This must be yet another one. "What's wrong?"
He grimaced with pain, teeth clenching over the syllables, "Dy... ing." He shut his eyes.
"No!" Jo said.
"You..." he gasped, "fool... ish..." And he stopped breathing.
"No! Doctor!" Jo said. "You can't die!" She tilted his head back, preparing to perform CPR, when he started to glow. His head and arms erupted with light, and she fell back in the dirt. He was a living fire, and if she wasn't careful, she would get burned. In the midst of the golden light, she saw his features melting, changing. His arms were flung wide, and his mouth was open in a silent scream. Oh, she thought. This is how he changes his appearance. It looks painful.
The glow faded. The person who lay before her on the ground was much younger; white hair changed to brown, lines smoothed away. If she hadn't known better, she would have thought him younger than her. Not just a younger version of himself, but a completely different person; thin rather than stocky, a softer, rounder face, and eyes so dark - he was looking at her!
"Hello," he said. "Who are you?"
"It's Jo, Doctor," she said.
"Doctor? I don't need a doctor!" He leapt to his feet. "I feel fine!" He tapped his chest. "Both hearts in perfect working order." He frowned down at her, and offered her his hand. "Except that I don't know who you are." He pulled her to her feet. His frown deepened. "Or who I am, for that matter."
"You don't remember you're the Doctor?"
"I'm the Doctor?" he said. "Doctor who?"
"You never said," Jo said. "Well, you called yourself John Smith, but I don't think that was your real name."
"John Smith?" he said. "Not very me, I don't think."
"But you must remember," Jo said. "Me, the Brigadier, working for UNIT?"
He winced, then shook his head. He stared at her, his brown eyes going almost black. "Tell me what happened."
"You came out of the TARDIS-"
"TARDIS?" He whirled around to face the tall blue box. The double doors had closed. He reached out a hand to touch the worn wood. "Ow!" He drew his hand back, wringing it as if stung. "Behave yourself, you daft machine."
Jo frowned. "Oh you're just teasing me," she said. "You recognise the TARDIS, of course you know who you are."
He whirled back and glared at her. "I am not bloody teasing!" His eyes locked with hers. "Tell me what happened!"
"You came out of the TARDIS," Jo said. "An older you with a different face. You said you were dying, you fell, you stopped breathing, and then you started glowing, and you changed."
"Regenerated," he said with a frown. "That might explain it; regeneration amnesia. The synapses are are all shook up. But that doesn't explain..."
He turned to stare at the TARDIS, frowning. He gestured to Jo. "My dear, would you mind opening the TARDIS doors for me?"
Jo laughed. "You think she's still cross at you?" She didn't wait for an answer, but stepped up to the TARDIS and pushed the double doors open. A billow of smoke came out. Jo coughed and waved the smoke away.
He stepped up behind her and peered inside. "Oh no."
"It's a mess, isn't it?" she said. "Still, I'm sure you can fix her up."
"That isn't the worst of it," he said. "I regenerated near a badly damaged TARDIS. I regenerated right next to a damaged TARDIS!"
She looked up at his face. "That's bad, isn't it?"
He clutched his hair. "Bad? You have no idea how bad it is! Time Lords and TARDISes are linked together. If I can't fix the TARDIS within the next fifteen hours-"
"Fifteen hours?"
"Regeneration window. The time of maximum healing energy. Without that, it could takes weeks, even months, for me to recover my memory. If I recover it at all."
"Oh dear," Jo said. "Well, at least you remember that you're a Time Lord. Imagine if you thought you were human!"
"I am-" he began, then muttered, "I am not Yana."
"What?" Jo said.
"What, what?" he said. "How do you know I'm this Doctor?"
"Well, you're a Time Lord, this is his TARDIS, and you recognised me."
"I did?"
"You did," she said with a smile. "You called me Miss Grant."
"And your first name is Jo?"
She grinned and held out her hand. "Hello, I'm Jo. How do you do?"
He blinked at her hand, then shook it. "Pleased to meet you, Miss Grant."
"Mrs Jones, now."
"You're married?"
"Cliff fell out a tree while collecting samples. Broke his neck. Silly, really."
"My condolences."
"It's been a few years, now. I'm okay." She glanced inside the TARDIS and back at him. "But you're not. So the sooner we get started, the sooner you'll get better."
"We?" he said. "What earthly use could you be in fixing the TARDIS?"
"As much as I ever was," she said. "Hand you your tools and tell you you're brilliant."
"Ah," he said. He gestured at the TARDIS doors. "After you, then, Mrs. Jones."

I have a question about drinking juice that is not freshly made. I just bought a new juicer after not having fresh juices for a long time. Anyway, sometimes I have to prepare my juice the night before for the following day due to time contraints. I already know that fresh is best but sometimes I can't drink fresh. I store the juice in tightly sealed mason jars that have been filled to the top with juice. I only make what I can drink within a 24 hour period so there is no waste.
Anyway, last night I made some strawberry lemonade to take to work today and I made some delicious apple carrot juice to drink when I came home. When I drank my strawberry lemonade today I noticed that it tasted sweeter than it did when it was fresh out of the juicer and when I arrived home tonight and grabbed the delicious apple-carrot juice that I made last night, it also tasted sweeter. Is that normal? It was so, so good! Even though the sweet taste was unexpected it completely eliminated the sugar cravings I had been having all day.
Has anyone else experienced that?

rhett jesus beer (October 8, 2012) |
Thomas Rhett is making a statement with his new single "Beer With Jesus." He wrote the song with a little advice from his dad, hit songwriter Rhett Akins, and says the words hit home for him. He also says if he had the chance to actually share a cold one with the man himself, he'd take him to one of Nashville's popular hangouts..."If Jesus was here today walking in the flesh like he was back when he was here, I mean, I would probably take him down to the Flying Saucer and order up a Newcastle and just pick his brain about life and ask him if I'm doing alright and ask him how some of the people in my life that are close to me that have died how they're doing in Heaven. So, it's just a very personal song to me." Thomas just recently filmed the music video for "Beer With Jesus" in Detroit.

Has there ever been a more pressure-filled time than now to be a child growing up in North America? I almost think not.
I was at the gym today, and was chit-chatting with another mom I hadn't seen in a while. We caught up in our lives, and she asked me what my boys are doing this summer. I proceeded to tell her that my 5 year old son is going back to his day camp and hockey camp at the end of the summer. And that my older 8 year old son was going to sleepaway camp, up until last month, when we cancelled.
She then said to me, "You did the right thing, Erica. Besides, why are we in such a rush today to push our kids into everything?"
I told her about his adamant request to go to sleepaway camp this summer, at end of 3rd grade. Despite the fact that my husband and I felt he wasn't emotionally ready, we didn't deny his request. We visited the open house this winter, and he loved it. It was also the camp where his mommy and daddy met, and how cool that he'd be going there too! We asked him, "You're ready, buddy?" He replied, "I love it. I'm so ready." He begged us, and we happily complied. Our boy was growing up!

Version 36 (modified by phil, 6 years ago) |
What is Gobby?
Gobby is a free collaborative editor supporting multiple documents in one session and a multi-user chat. It runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix-like platforms.
It uses GTK+ 2.6 as its windowing toolkit and thus integrates nicely into the GNOME desktop environment.
Check out Gobby's list of features, take a look around in our screenshots section and download it right now.
Latest News
2007-02-11: Ongoing problems
The lists are currently dysfunctional and this site was recently moved to a new server. Please stay patient until we sort out the administrative difficulties we are currently going through. At their end we will release a maintainance update of all packages.
2006-10-25: Commenting should work again
As you most probably recognized, commenting on tickets was broken for the last weeks because every comment was treated as spam. The Akismet filter for the trac spam filter plugin (which really is required since we received lots of spam in the past) did some things wrong that seem not yet to be fixed by the developers, so we had to investigate this ourselves.
2006-08-31: Stable release 0.4.1
The 0.4.x series went stable. Grab your copy on the Download page now!
2006-08-20: Fourth release candidate of the 0.4.x series
This release features basic IPv6 support and usability enhancements, like notifications on new chat messages and new command line options to join a specified session directly from the command line. Download it now.
2006-08-08: Third release candidate of the 0.4.x series
We finally fixed an issue causing desync, so we released the third release candidate of obby and Gobby today.
2006-04-11: First release candidate of the 0.4.x series
So after several days in which new bugs kept popping up we are now ready to release the first series of candidates for the 0.4.x branch. Most notably this release adds transport layer security (TLS) to the communication layer. It uses anonymous authentication, though, so the handling of certificates to verify the peer is yet to be implemented.
Again this release is completly incompatible with previous ones. But at least the protocol version check is still the same so you are properly disconnected on a version mismatch.
Please refer to the Download section to get the tarballs.
The changes include at least the following (you could possibly find more in the NEWS files of the packages):
net6 1.3.0rc1
- Encryption support through GNUTLS
- Allow the use of the net6 protocol with Unix domain sockets
- Send keep-alives to detect dropped clients
obby 0.4.0rc1
- Improved text handling through chunks
- Guarantee encrypted connections through the new net6 TLS facitity
- Document storage in memory reduced to one central copy which the application could provide through a template parameter
- Documents with the same name are suffixed with a number
- Removal of SHA1 and RSA routines, thus losing the GMP dependency
- New command subsystem
Gobby 0.4.0rc1
- Reduced CPU usage and memory footprint through the removal of one supplemental document copy

Development Area
We use this site not only to present Gobby, but also to coordinate the further development of it and the core libraries it depends on, namely net6 and obby.
obby is the foundation of Gobby, providing the whole framework to synchronise changes within a text document to other participants of a session. New clients and plugins for existing applications could be written using it. It is written in C++ and C wrappers have yet to be created.
net6 is an IP client/server library providing a flexible framework to send packets to each other using C++. It supports TCP and UDP, IPv4 and IPv6 and is thus a valuable base for network development.

Guitar for Christmas Gift
by Heart » Sun Dec 04, 2011 9:24 pm
Are you asking for a guitar for the holidays this year? Is there anything specific that you are asking for? I already have a guitar and I'm a beginner so I've asked for lessons. Maybe by next winter I'll be ready for something better.

I asked for a guitar for Christmas and my husband and mother went in halves on a Big Baby Taylor. It's much nicer than the guitar I had and even though it's smaller, it sounds bigger. I love it and I would recommend it to anyone that's in a $500 dollars-or-less budget.

I know it's a little late for the original post and also a little early for this year but what the heck! This year, I've already asked my wife to pick me up a slim electro acoustic. While I love my dreadnought acoustic, it can be a little cumbersome sometimes - I'll also have the added benefit of being able to connect headphones to avoid any potential future arguments!

Sounds like you will have quite a collection! Headphones are a good idea in case you want to play an electric guitar after others in the house are sleeping. Hope you get your new guitar this coming holiday season.
Re: Guitar for Christmas Gift

Thanks mahler82, I do seem to be building quite a collection. I haven't even mentioned the Yamaha 3/4 Spanish acoustic that my Grandfather left to me when he passed, the Gibson Gothic Explorer that I sold last year or the Ibanez G10 that I bought for my wife to use before she gave up on the guitar and let me have it!

Scotty The Scientist
Posted on Saturday, November 3, 2012 in Education, Intellectual, Relational, Social, Spiritual, Technical, Values
I'm turning 50 this week.
I'm not yet fifty — it's just seven days away — but I thought I'd lead you through my journey, and maybe you'll learn a thing or two that will help you on your journey.
I Love Science
As far back as I can remember I've loved science.
Scotty the Scientist they called me. My curiosity has reigned big in my life since I was little.
Excursus – Let me express my thanks to my sister Kristie for all the great digital pictures of me she's providing this week. Thanks Kristie!

May 23 – Happy Birthday Buck Showalter
Many Yankee fans, including me, were livid at George Steinbrenner after the 1995 season. We had just gone through two strike-shortened baseball seasons at the very same time our Yankees were on the verge of once again becoming baseball's best team. Don Mattingly had just had a wonderful playoff series against Seattle and although the Yankees lost that series three games to two, we were convinced that in Buck Showalter, the Yankees had the right manager to lead them back to post season prosperity.
Then the Boss lowered the boom. The Yankees did not try to convince Donnie Baseball to continue playing and instead acquired Tino Martinez to play first base. Just as upsetting was the firing of Showalter who was replaced by the nice guy but perennial loser as a manager, Joe Torre.
It is amazing how a little thing like winning four World Championships in a five year period can help you let bygones be bygones. And come to think of it, Buck Showalter never seemed to be having any fun. And why the heck did he always wear that completely zipped-up Yankee jacket in the dugout, even when the temperature was in the nineties?
Seriously, Buck Showalter restored a sorely needed level of low-key professionalism to the Yankee dugout after the Billy Martin-to-Stump Merrill era of merry-go-round managers. His record as Yankee skipper was 313-268. He went on to manage both the Diamondbacks and Rangers and was a two-time AL Manager of the Year winner. He is now skippering the Baltimore Orioles back to respectability.
Another Yankee manager was also born on May 23rd as was this former Yankee catcher who was once pegged as Bill Dickey's eventual successor.

Most of the animated graphics of Daley are sourced by digitizing video of Daley himself from promotional material supplied by his management team, and then massaging that into usable graphics. It proved difficult to get usable angles for some of these graphics, e.g. the angle changed through the panning motion of some running events like the 100M running & hurdles; if you look closely you may be able to detect this slight perspective changes in some animations.Finally, the 'training' sessions are digitised from video shot NOT of Daley but of one of my friends!His management team wouldn't / couldn't supply suitable material, so off we popped down to the local gym, camera in hand... And yes -- we darkened his face with boot polish, and then carefully edited a mustache onto the captured material!

This is a great deal if you have a large collection of media. I bought two racks to store a big collection of CD/DVD/Blu-ray and it looks great in my man cave. It would even look good in a nice living room. The cherry wood really makes it stand out. Put both together in about an hour and a half with my 7 year old helping out. Fantastic.

i had a huge collection of dvds and it was great to finally put them all in one place rather than spread throughout the house. it holds a lot and looks great. downside is that the top piece did not line up with the side and middle boards. after a few adjustments with a drill and some correct measuring, it looks great.

Nice, but not as nice as we had hoped
By Rick
from Allentown, PA
The cabinet is basically nice to look at as long as it is not a main component in the room. The back of the cabinet is literally black cardboard, not wood. I felt cheated when I saw that, [...] It also took quite a while to put it together, and I cheated by using a staple gun for the back rather than the 1000s of tiny nails supplied with it.

Pond Hockey Classic draws crowds to Meredith
"We were champs for two years, that's pretty good," said Bill Neer of Moultonborough, a member of the Locals, as he watched the Broots Magoots receive their wooden cup trophy for winning the Just-for-Fun Under-35 Division championship, which the Magoots won, 7-5.
The Magoots had set their sights on winning after losing in the semifinals last year.
"It's sweet," said Magoot Nate Gagne of Manchester.
Winning the Just-for-Fun Over-35 Division, the Pylons of Chelmsford, Mass., defeated the Bulldogs of Sudbury, Mass. by a score of 5-4.
In the 40-plus Division, the Bumbles of Laconia defeated the Kings of the South Shore, Mass., by a score of 7-2.
In the 50-plus division, the Essex 73s of Nashua defeated T's Pub of Boston by a score of 6-4.
In the 30-Plus Division, the Frozen Hacks of Franklin, Mass., defeated the West Coast Blasters of Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, by a score of 9-6.
In the Open Division, the Ice Holes of Wakefield, Mass., won the trophy by defeating the Winnipesaukee Whalers of Meredith, 10-4.
In the Women's Division, the Eagles of Boston won the title, defeating Joe's Chicks of Laconia, 6-0.
Tournament organizer Scott Crowder said more teams will likely be added to the more than 200 that came to this year's tournament.
"From our perspective it was a great weekend being outside and playing hockey," Crowder said.
