carve the thing lower 1 z-level, then breach the ocean 1 z-level lower. pressure will do its thing.

Heh, that's what I suggested in the Escapist Thread. Ultimately, it might be a losing battle though -- with a "HOT" climate, summer's going to take it's toll on *all* exposed water tiles.

On the "river side" you're losing water back into the river.
On the "ocean side" you're losing pressure because the water is "squeezing" through diagonals which removes the pressure.

You've really only got two easy options:  A) channel out those diagonal blocks on the ocean side or B)install floodgates/damn the river to increase pressure.

He's possessed. His workshop displays: cloth...thread, stone...rock, tree...life and leather...skin. He's got a single bauxite rock, pig tail fiber cloth, blood thorn logs and shark leather listed as TSK components.

Thank you for your answers. I forgot to post the question in 3, but that is exactly what I wanted to ask.

Regarding 1., the dwarf in question wasn't assigned to any burrows and he already has everything that's on his list in the workshop, listed as a task (TSK) material. There's at least 3 more of each of the needed materials available in the fortress and when I forbid one either of the ones in the workshop, he will go and get them instead, but he won't start the construction no matter what. Is it possible he's trying to get some specific material that's on my forbid list (as in he needs limestone, so he won't use quartzite instead)?
Have no idea. What kind of a mood is it and what's he asking for?

Regarding 2., my main question was whether flux stone slabs can still be used as a flux material in the forge.
No, only raw stone (not even blocks)

And another question. Does the size of the barracks and the number of squads attached to it play any role in their training (as long as there's obviously at least 2 squares/dwarf)?
technically you can have a 1x2 or even 1x1 barracks (they become friends, so don't do this) but I believe they well gain an "admired a fine barracks lately" thought.

And one more. Is it possible for an underground lake to dry if it's edges reach outside the embark site?
no, water fills in eternally

Hear the PA system announcing round two and walk out of the room. Walk through the wall with my sunglasses on if I have to. And go to room 77.

I vote for cat anus to be added to the first post. [ROLL]

This sounds interesting, but... what exactly are we rolling for?
