grity and others, lots of the old advfn serious traders now on muneyam except the u needs to be an o, you need to pay to get into the Traders room - alternatively the serious heavy traders are on the GNI forum but that's too heavy for me! They went for the reasons outlined above. If I post the correct name it gets changed to "an advfn competitor"!

Here's a good article.

Insituform (INSU)

Former resident working to stop sewage spills

By: J. STRYKER MEYER - Staff Writer
North County's most effective environmental leader is not a member of the Surfrider Foundation or the Sierra Club.

Nor does he wear earth shoes. At least not to work. He does not even live in this neck of the woods.
Former North County resident Tom Rooney now lives in St. Louis, where his job as head of one of the country's bigger engineering companies, Insituform, also makes him one of America's more unlikely environmental heroes.

Rooney and his company have done more to clean up water in North County and throughout the country than a gaggle of media-crazy professional environmentalists put together.

North County residents may remember Rooney from his days at the San Diego construction company Centex Golden, where he managed one of the most complex construction projects in the history of this region: the placement of the grandstands at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

This took place without the race track or fairgrounds losing a single day of business.

Rooney's ingenuity eventually landed him at the helm of Insituform, an engineering company that detects and repairs sewer pipes. But, with an environmentally-pleasing twist, his troops fix them from the inside, before they break.

His methodology is simple, but efficient. First, they send some cameras down the pipe and find potential problems. Then they coat the inside of the pipe with resin, shoot steam down there and voila: the pipe is reinforced, just like new.

No more leaks. No more breaks.

They've been fixing pipes in and around San Diego County for a few years. And their work is the reason why we see fewer and fewer headlines about the sewage spills that used to plague North County during the rainy season with the predictability of the swallows returning to Capistrano.

But, not this year. Not nearly as many anyway.

Sometimes the most important stories are about what did not happen. This headline would read: Sewage does not spill, or, Surfers do not get sick from sewage spill.

Camp Pendleton is a good example. The Marines' largest training base in the world used to be one of the worst polluters in the area because of bad sewer pipes. Repairing the pipes was difficult because they were often located in environmentally sensitive or hard to reach canyons. Digging up the old pipes to inspect them would disrupt base functions vital to national security.

But the sewage breaks had to stop. So, the folks on base started doing the same thing that the White House did, they hired Rooney to find the leaks and fix them before they turned into major breaks.

Result: Fewer breaks. Fewer headlines. More clean water.

Meanwhile, the part of the country that are taking care of their pipes the old-fashioned way ---- waiting until they break then dig them up ----- are suffering an epidemic of sewage spills. In Hawaii last month, 50 million gallons of raw sewage ---- the worst in Hawaiian history -- escaped through broken sewer pipes and made its way to some of the most pristine beaches in the world, creating an economic and environmental catastrophe.

Most of the sewage infrastructure in America was built after World War II ---- more than 60 years ago. Those pipes life expectancy is about 60 years before breaks begin to surface.

Hawaiian officials could be speaking for hundreds of utilities throughout the country when they said they could not afford to maintain their pipes because they were surrounded by power lines or located in sensitive habitat.

Hawaii should have called Rooney.

Brer Rabbit - I'm in complete agreement, miss the likes of smellberg, rufus et. al., not sure where else to go though so just pop in for a quick look every couple of weeks.

[brer rabbit] 19/6/2006 15:30

Opening spike & down.

Thanks to those who commented on the state of play here - unfortunate that advfn finds itself "chimpified". Wasn't nearly so bad the 3 years I posted here before going off sailing. Since returning I had noticed that many old familiar names and good traders like rufus, smellberg, TS, etc, weren't around anymore; and hornblower, I think I know where you mean! If I'm right, I'll See you there.

my dear crowsoft

you seem to have a tortured soul. if you are holding a shed full of guilt because of your past actions ... thats how it should be.

you had no right ruining your families life for personal gain and greed, gain that never materialised for you or your family.

if you repent now, maybe, just maybe there could be a future for you.

regards

rabbit-

these two chims must have lost lot of money therfore they are either jealous or have nothing to do

[hornblower] 17/6/2006 07:55

Brer Rabibit
I have been trading a long time, and advfn when it started was a breath of fresh air, but now its just gone down hill
its full of people that will pay £5 per month to post rubbish
this is my first look for a few weeks
advfn is just a money making thing, management do not care about the content
and if management dont care then no one else will
I spend my time elsewhere ( I are not able to post the place )
all serious traders left a long time ago

BR the INDU threads get trashed with regularity that's why there are so many and why nobody uses them anymore.

[brer rabbit] 16/6/2006 20:57

kevincm - hello; thanks for greeting; got back to Blighty last month; will be here through the summer. Had a good 18 months sailing around Europe, North America and the Caribbean. Left the boat down in Nice now, and will be settling in down near there in the autumn.

I'll be trading thru the summer months, as I prep the old house here in England for sale.

I see we have a number of chimps on board - I ran into the Collection Aggrevation my first post back here on advfn, and filtered him. Don't know what this Mike Crowsoft guy is on about. I sort of remember the name but he's dismissable if he proves disagreeable.

Also, why are there a half dozen current INDU trading threads? (I lament the loss of the DAY thread.) Only one such needed ... but which one?

[bodyboarder_bill] 16/6/2006 20:53

Never seen that before...

19815, 19816, 19817, 19816...

.....maybe this will be 19815???

Oh for the golden days of INDU threads with some content, and Hatton.

Edit/ Oh I see... 19816 was a forgery...
