Wallace Monument
Dominating the surrounding countryside and about 1.5mi/2.4km northeast of Stirling, the National Wallace Monument, was erected in 1869 in memory of the victors of the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Inside the square tower (220ft/64m), as well as the marble busts of famous Scots, there is an exhibition recounting the bitter struggle that took place between Sir William Wallace and the English invaders between 1296 and 1298. Many people come to this well-known landmark simply to admire the splendid view.
Blair Drummond Safari Park
It is possible to drive through the Blair Drummond Safari Park (4mi/6.4km to the northwest of Stirling) and observe the wild animals at close quarters. Children will probably most enjoy the sea lion performances, but boat trips and guided walks are also available.
Dunblane, Scotland
The cathedral in the little town of Dunblane (pop. 7,500; 6mi/10km to the north of Stirling) was consecrated by Bishop Clement in 1228, although the foundation stone had been laid in the previous century by David I. The ground-plan of the church is remarkable in that the chancel has no side aisles or transept, unlike the main nave, which was fully restored by Sir Roland Anderson in 1893. The once freestanding church tower (12th century) has been incorporated into the south side. In the interior, the highly-acclaimed, oval window by John Ruskin and the 15th century choir stalls merit a closer inspection.
Leighton Library
The library that Robert Leighton (1611-1662) established in Cathedral Square in 1687 is the oldest private library in Scotland. Faithful restoration work was undertaken in 1991 and it is now open to the public. The shelves are lined with some 4,500 books written in more than 50 languages and dating from between 1500 and 1840.
Doune, Scotland
The castle in the small town of Doune (pop. 1,200; 8mi/12.8km to the northwest of Stirling) was built at the end of the 14th century by Robert Stewart, the first Duke of Albany and the Earl of Menteith and Fife. In 1570 the owner of the property Sir James Stewart was appointed Lord Doune and his son acquired through marriage the title of Earl of Moray. Since then Doune Castle with its 100ft/30m tower house, west tower and three-sided curtain wall has remained the seat of the earls of Moray. In 1883 the architect Andrew Kerr was commissioned by the 14th Earl to undertake comprehensive restoration work, with the provision that the character of the medieval castle be retained. In the Lord's Hall on the first floor, look out for a fine double fireplace and the Moray coat-of-arms, as well as the lancet windows and fireplaces in the apartments. An octagonal font in the chapel is of interest, while the Great Hall displays banners of all the families who have had links with Doune Castle.
Port of Menteith, Scotland
Port of Menteith is located on the A873 to the west of Stirling.
Inchmahome Priory
Inchmahome Priory is located near Port of Menteith. It was founded for Austin Canons in 1238 on an island in Lake of Menteith.
Highlights: |
Dunmore Pineapple
The stone pineapple in Dunmore Park near Airth, about 7mi/11.2km southeast of Stirling, arouses considerable curiosity. This bizarre structure forms the dome of a building in the garden, which was completed in 1761 by Sir William Chambers.
Clackmannanshire - Alloa Tower
For four centuries the Alloa Tower, in Clockmanshire, was the ancestral home of the Earls of Mar. The tower was completed in 1497 and is the only structure to have survived a fire that destroyed the mansion house in 1800.The interior features a classical staircase leading to the Great Hall, original vaulting on the second floor and a rare medieval timber roof on the top floor. You will also find a collection of Erskine family protraits. A walk along the parapet, around the tower's battlements, offers spectacular views of the Forth.
Cambuskenneth, Scotland
In 1140 David I founded the Augustinian abbey at Cambuskenneth (1mi/1.6km to the east of Stirling) and the Scottish parliament met there a number of times in 1326. James III and his wife Margaret of Denmark were buried at Cambuskenneth in the 15th century. In 1604 the Earl of Mar decided to use the stones from the abbey for his town residence, so now only a tower and the church's west portal remain.
Alva, Scotland
Alva is small town with atmosphere.
Glen, Dollar, Scotland
Dollar is located northeast of Stirling on the A91. Its wooded glen provides a spectacular walk to Castle Campbell.
Castle Campbell and Garden
Situated in the delightful Dollar Glen 1mi/1.6km north of Dollar (pop. 2,500), Castle Campbell was originally known as Castle Gloom. Built by the first Earl of Argyll at the end of the 15th C, it was burnt down by Cromwell's army in 1650. Nonetheless, the courtyard and Great Hall are worth inspecting.

Darcy Burner asks more women to 'come out'
June 14, 2012 @ 5:27 pm (Updated: 10:07 am - 6/15/12 )
Listen to Darcy Burner asks more women to "come out" about abortion
Congressional candidate Darcy Burner didn't think her request to have women stand up if they've had an abortion would become a controversy, but she hopes it will inspire more women to "come out" about their personal experiences.
At a women's health conference in Rhode Island the First Congressional District candidate asked women in the room to stand if they have had an abortion. She says about 150 women stood. Then about 2,000 women stood after she asked if the rest of the audience would support a woman who has had an abortion and is "willing to come out about it."
After the speech, Burner talked with a few of the women who stood up. They "never felt as loved and supported" as they did when everyone stood with them.
In an interview with Burner, she uses the term "coming out of the closet" several times.
Her message about abortion was inspired by the success of the gay rights movement.
There was a time when people felt they had to conceal their sexual orientation or gender identity because society shamed.
As more and more people came out about their homosexuality, others were able to see there's nothing wrong or shameful about being gay, she says.
"Women who've had an abortion should feel like it's okay to come out of the closet and talk about their decision," Burner says.
"People think they don't know women who've had abortions, when in fact their mothers or their sisters or their co-workers or their friends often have. Women being able to come out of the closet and being able to say 'I've had an abortion' would change people's view of what it meant."
I asked Burner a question I've never asked anyone before, "Have you had an abortion?"
"I have not had an abortion, but I've been in a situation in which during a very high-risk pregnancy my doctor sat me down and said their was a very real chance if I continued the pregnancy I wouldn't survive," she says. "The choices that are made at that moment are incredibly difficult and no politician has the right to make them for any woman."
She believes abortion rights will become an issue in the congressional races across the country as those in the GOP try to restrict women's access to medical care.
"It's easy for opponents of abortion rights, and women's rights in general, to paint the worst possible pictures. To claim that the only people this ever happens to are horrific horrible people and they're not. They're your neighbor, they're your co-worker, they're your mother, they're your friend," Burner says. "Politicians don't get to stand between women and their doctors."
The race to replace Jay Inslee is a crowded one that includes John Koster, who opposes abortion but did not return my request for a comment. Among the Democrats - Suzan DelBene, Laura Ruderman, state Rep. Roger Goodman and state Sen. Steve Hobbs.

New Season of Picture Perfect Premieres with Ziyah Gafić
We are excited to bring back Picture Perfect for a second season with a new episode featuring photographer Ziyah Gafić.
Ziyah Gafić was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He began his professional photography career after graduating from Sarajevo University with a degree in Comparative Literature. Traveling extensively since 1999, Gafić's photographs tell the stories of societies in conflict and transition.
Gafić's photographic composition reflects his view that photography works as a means to producing empathy, encouraging viewers to draw their own conclusions about the narratives within the images. Gafić's latest project, "Quest for Identity," consists of photographs of objects that the victims of the Bosnian War carried with them when they were killed. He also recently completed "Troubled Islam," a series of photographs from Muslim countries around the world that have been torn by ethnic conflicts and fraternal warfare.
In this episode of Picture Perfect, Gafić is on assignment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to document and demystify notions about Saudi Arabian women. Picture Perfect gets an inside look at his process and work to capture compelling portraiture and interviews of his subject matter.
Be sure to check out our exclusive bonus footage, in which Gafić photographs and interviews Salwa Shaker, the first Saudi woman to appear on television.
Sneak Peek: New Episode of Picture Perfect featuring Ziyah Gafić
We're pleased to bring back Picture Perfect for its second season. Brought to you by Vice and Incase, Picture Perfect is a video series dedicated to documenting the work and lives of our favorite photojournalists.

CNOOC, Chevron sign production sharing contracts
Xinhua | 2013-01-17
BEIJING – China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) has signed two production sharing contracts with Chevron China Energy Company for two blocks in the South China Sea, a statement said.
CNOOC Limited, a subsidiary of CNOOC — the country's largest offshore oil and gas producer, said in the online statement late Wednesday that the two blocks, Block 15/10 and Block 15/28, are located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin in the east part of the South China Sea.
According to the terms of the contracts, Chevron will conduct 3D seismic data surveys in the two blocks during the exploration period, in which all expenditures incurred will be borne by Chevron.
CNOOC is allowed to take up to 51 percent of interest in any commercial discoveries in the blocks, the statement said.
"We are very pleased to become a partner with Chevron again and hope this project achieves commercial discoveries soon to create economic returns for both companies," said Zhu Weilin, executive vice president of CNOOC Limited.

Rohrabacher's Plan to Partition Iran
By TOURAJ DARYAEE | August 27, 2012
From time to time it is important that one provide a teach-in to nonacademics and educate those who promote wrong and harmful ideas. As a history professor I would like to teach a history lesson to Mr. Dana Rohrabacher, the honorable Congressional Representative of California's 46th District in Orange County where I live and work. On July 26, 2012 Mr. Rohrenbacher wrote a letter to the US Secretary of the State, Hillary Clinton, informing her that since the "people of Azerbaijan are geographically divided and many are calling for the reunification of their homeland after nearly two centuries of foreign rule," the United States should help them reach that goal. He then goes on to say that: Russia and Persia divided the homeland of Azeris in 1828, without their consent. "The Azerbaijan Republic won its independence in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed," continues the letter "Now it is time for the Azeris in Iran to win their freedom too." Finally, Rohrabacher states: "Aiding the legitimate aspirations of the Azeri people for independence is a worthy cause in and of itself… yet, it also poses a greater danger to the Iranian tyrants than the threat of bombing its underground nuclear research bunkers." … continue

GALLIPOLIS — A book that hits close to home was a met with avid readers and local historians alike during a book signing held on Saturday at Eastman's Foodland in downtown Gallipolis.
Stacie Vaughn Hutton, author of Shovelful of Sunshine, was on hand for the event, signing books until the store was sold out on Saturday afternoon.
"I'm not sure [how many books were sold]. I just know I was signing for a long time until the boss said we were out," Hutton laughed when speaking about the event afterwards.
The "boss" in this case is Brent Eastman, president of Ohio Valley Supermarkets, Inc., who stated that when Hutton, a native of Athens County with close ties to Gallia County, recently approached him about the book signing, he knew she, and her work, would be a right fit for his store.
"I think it's a neat story. It gets down to the basics of really what built the whole country — hard work — and that's something that our customers can identify with," Eastman said of the unique opportunity to host the book signing. "It's close to home, and that's our theme, as well, so we can just identify with the book. It's just a wonderful, wonderful book."
Shovelful of Sunshine, a work first released in October that recently won the Mom's Choice Gold Award as the best in children's motivational/inspirational books, deals with the themes of hard work and close family ties, while highlighting the coal industry and Welsh heritage of southeastern Ohio.
According to Hutton, the success of Saturday's event shows the deep respect the people of southern Ohio have for their own role in building the country.
"What this showed today was a reverence for our mining industry and a reverence for our Welsh immigration history and that it was something we all should be proud of, and I'm so glad that everyone is proud of it," Hutton said. "I think it was not really about me, it was about the reverence for miners, for our coal history and for our Welsh history — our immigrant history."
Shovelful of Sunshine is available for purchase the downtown Gallipolis Foodland and at a most Foodland stores.

So not worth the $
When I clicked on these I thought wow.. how glamarous, when I got them out of the box .. I though.. Oh... There's not a lot of quality. The hooks for your ears are flimsly and thin and would no doubt bend and end up crooked. The blue bits come off.. mine were like that in the pack. They slide on easy enough but in no way is this a $200 earring.

California American Water's best bet is to pursue its first option for its planned desalination plant before it goes after permits for backup plans, a company official told a Peninsula mayors water authority advisory committee Monday.
In a report to the authority's technical advisory committee, Cal Am director of engineering Rich Svindland said the various regulatory agencies generally resist any attempt to seek permits for multiple contingency plans, and such an effort would likely take more time than seeking approval of one option at a time.
Svindland also laid out the company's contingency plans for water intake and told the committee there were essentially no feasible options besides wells in the Salinas Valley groundwater basin or open ocean intake. And he reiterated company officials' belief that Cal Am is pursuing the lowest-risk option with its plans for shoreline slant wells north of Marina, despite the threat of legal action from agricultural interests.
At the same time, Svindland said Cal Am would do whatever it could to expedite getting permits and noted there is a meeting planned with state Coastal Commission staff later this month toward that end. He said company officials assume Cal Am's backup intake plans — including vertical Ranney wells or open ocean intake at the Cemex site, wells at Potrero Road near Moss Landing, or open ocean intake at Moss Landing — would be studied in the proposed project's environmental review.
The authority included a requirement for Cal Am to continue developing "alternative intake strategies" if the company's intake wells prove "legally or technically infeasible," and to "fully develop" contingency plans for desal source water outside the Salinas Valley groundwater basin at the same time Cal Am is planning and testing its shoreline wells.
Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett, chairman of the committee, said Monday the authority wanted to avoid a situation where Cal Am's test slant wells don't pan out, for whatever reason, and there is no backup plan.
Cal Am's current plan calls for starting up its proposed test wells in December, and pumping from both a shallower aquifer and a disputed 180-foot aquifer for at least two years. Monitoring wells will also be designed to show any impact of the pumping on groundwater levels. Svindland said company officials believe they are close to an agreement with Cemex, which owns a plant near the proposed intake wells site, on the location of the test wells before finalizing a permit application with the city of Marina.
Salinas Valley agricultural interests have expressed skepticism that Cal Am can prove its slant wells can provide adequate source water without tapping the 180-foot aquifer. They have vowed to vigorously oppose any attempts to pump long-term from the Salinas Valley groundwater basin where growers and others have poured millions of dollars into water projects designed to halt seawater intrusion. In addition, they've argued that Cal Am would still need to prove access to water rights in the aquifer, which would require demonstrating no overlying water users could be harmed by additional pumping.
Svindland told the committee Cal Am's position is the slant wells would extend far enough under the ocean that they would no longer technically be in the disputed areas, noting that no one is currently using the water, and predicted the source water would be at least 97 percent seawater. He pointed out that Cal Am plans to return any fresh water from its intake wells to the Salinas Valley, and said it was hard to see how the farmers' inland wells would be impacted.
However, Svindland also said Cal Am officials would consider a memo submitted by an expert representing the Salinas Valley Water Coalition that outlines growers' concerns, and added that it would also likely be addressed in the project's environmental review.
Svindland also offered an overview of Cal Am's efforts in other areas where the authority has demanded the company meet its set of conditions, including agreement on a public governance plan, acceptance of a public contribution of funds, pursuit of lower power costs, limited use of a $99 million surcharge and proof of access to low-interest state loan funding.
Despite Svindland's report, Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said company officials have not yet agreed to the authority's conditions but were "happy to provide an update on areas of interest and concern where possible."
Burnett said the committee would make updates from Cal Am a regular agenda item.

Popularity Sparks Second Active Shooter Training Session
By: Karoline Wightman
Updated: February 12, 2013
Last month so many people signed up for the course, organizers decided to have another presentation.
An active shooter is the term Last Resort Firearms gives to a person who is out to kill as many people as possible, like the Newtown, Conn. or Columbine school shootings. The presentation teaches educators, church leaders, and anyone else who wants to arm themselves with information, how to deal with situations like these and prevent as many deaths as possible.
Co-founder Ed Monk says once an active shooter decides to start his attack, on average someone is going to get shot every ten seconds.
"Usually their motivation is fame. They want it to continue until they can get a high score, a high body count," Monk says.
Monk says he teaches people that they don't have to be defenseless: "You can run and flee, you can barricade and stay put, but that's the worst option. You don't want to do that unless you have no other option, or you can fight if you're capable."
Thomas Williams, a pastor at Indian Springs Baptist Church, attended the training session because he wants to know how to prepare his congregation for an active shooter.
"We're trying to gather as much information as possible so we can assemble some guidelines and say this is the best way for us to protect our people," Williams says.
Robbie Walker is a teacher at North Pulaski High School and says he doesn't want his students or fellow teachers to become victims. "Just some knowledge about what we would need to do as a staff to protect the kids and protect each other, and get out of there alive."
Monk says active shooters can rarely be prevented, but he believes their body count can be reduced. "Knowledge is power, and most people don't understand this threat because it's an ugly thing to think about. Most people don't want to think about it, study, or plan for something that is this ugly."
Anyone can sign up for active shooter training, and it's free. The presentations have been so popular that Last Resort Firearms is now taking the sessions into area schools for teachers and staff.

Appreciation of Community Support
As President of the Friends of the Donald W. Reynolds Community Center and Library (FOL), I want to express the club's appreciation to our supporters who helped us make the annual book sale such a huge success. Funds raised by FOL are used to support the extra needs of the library which are not covered in the regular library budget.
All supporters of our library are deeply valued, as we continue to raise funds for the FOL group. Our FOL group worked hard to organize the donated books in an attractive, orderly manner for the shopping convenience of patrons and visitors. The book donations that we received from the community came in high numbers this year. This kind of generosity from the community helps in our efforts to support the library.
We would like to remind the community that most of the books on sale were donated; some people wait until just before the sale to donate books, but their books for donation can come in any time before or after the sale. There is a shelf in a well-marked area in the main library for books for sale which can be purchased any time the library is visited. We are always in need of more children's books, so please share the books that your children or grandchildren have outgrown.
The FOL has been able to help support three new Gale database additions to the library Chiltons, Legal Forms, and Price It! Antiques and Collectibles. Whenever you visit our library and notice the attractive bronze statues at each entrance of the library and enjoy the beautiful art hanging on the walls, particularly the art in the children's area, remember that the majority of the money earned by FOL to purchase this art came from our annual book sale. We are in the process of adding more art work to the main entrance area of the library. We also contribute to the summer reading programs.
FOL also serves the library in many other ways. If you would be interested in becoming a member of the FOL group, applications may be picked up at the circulation desk or call me at 580-924-3486. I am always eager to recruit a new friend for the library.
The next opportunity to participate in a FOL fundraiser is November 29, 30, and December 1. This fundraiser will include crafts and a drawing to win a quit donated by the library summer quilting class.

I don't understand why they don't play Rivers at PG and Roberts at SG more often.
Since when can you pull the rim down before the ball hits it.
I like the ball in Rivers hand coming off the screen. He finds the screener well.
Guess who is putting in time at WBOK 1230 AM Talk Radio... Don't guess, it's me. Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Talk with Roe Brown and you might just hear me!
Feel free to PM me for details.
last year's team is better than this.
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
Season 1 - Eastern Conference Finals
Season 2 - NBA Champions
Season 3 - 1st Round
Season 4 - Eastern Conference Semifinals
Season 5 - Eastern Conference Semifinals
But first of all we have to stay healty to put our game to next level. What we can do if out best players is sidelined? It's like have cow without milk. We have to wait. Just don't watch games until Davis is back, that would be painless.
Wild thought here but maybe Rivers is getting time at the point by playing the 2?, he seems to get the ball quite a bit at the 2 as well as playing style like driving to the basket? Or am I just deprived of sleep again?
I know for sure I'm not going to be in the mood to watch tomorrow's game.
Does Gordon join the team tomorrow? Does he stay home and eat Cheetos? Goldfish? In and Out Burger? Point and lol at his own teammates?
Stay tuned.
Rivers FG% drops under 30 after this one. Dude needs something to get him going.

Swedish scientists denounce EU's refusal to approve biotech crops
European opposition to biotech crops has no scientific basis and will cost the continent dearly in biodiversity, land preservation, and adaptation to global warming, according to four Swedish scientists who say the European Union's approval process has been captured by special interests who "demonize" agricultural biotechnology.
"Lobbyists who benefit from demonizing GM crops are not the ones who have to carry the costs," the quartet wrote in EMBO Reports, published by Nature for the European Molecular Biology Organization. "It is not the hyped risks of GM crops that are a problem in the EU, it is the submissive attitude of politicians and policymakers towards organizations who insist that GM crops are risky. It is then ordinary consumers who pay the costs and do not receive the benefits." READ MORE »

We're happy to have Paul Garro, Executive Director of City Year San Antonio, as our guest blogger. A featured speaker for iPEC's "Dialogue Among Thought Leaders" series, Paul has been successfully serving the educational community for 20+ years. In addition, he's been a national consultant for "Teaching the Hard to Reach," and has authored the first of a series of books entitled, "Classrooms of Inspiration."
So, what builds trust?
For starters, a strong foundation for trust develops when you expose your limitations, own your actions, and admit that you can't get everything done all by yourself. In fact, vulnerability and humility have the effect of gathering people together to shape meaning and motivate change.
Trust is also built by a demonstration of our values. When leaders stay true to their values, and their actions are aligned with what they say, confidence begins to build in the people they lead. In essence, these leaders develop powerful vulnerability, which translates into demonstrated integrity — one of the very cornerstones for building trust.
In the Corporation for National & Community Service's study, "Volunteering and Civic Life in America," participants from various cities across the country were asked to rate their level of trust in their neighborhoods, public schools, corporations, and the media. While neighborhoods and public schools had the highest levels of trust, corporations and the media were shown to have much lower levels, revealing the tremendous opportunity that exists to connect with our communities and become trusted partners.
How do we break down barriers and build bridges in order to capitalize on this opportunity and formulate trust? In other words, how do we creatively form relationships on our way to successfully building trusted community networks?
Being well-versed in your beliefs, and in your craft, allows you to embody your values and develop strategic relationships with the people and organizations within your communities. From these relationships, your academic organization can build a trusted portfolio of business and community network partners.
So, spend some time with a bit of self-reflection on these seemingly simple, yet powerful, questions:
- How well versed am I in who I am?
- How well versed am I in my craft?
To be sure, listening is also key, as is finding the commonality that exists between your organization and those within your community. Be bold and persistent in finding that commonality; it's the fuel that will spark your ability to build networks of trust.
When you combine these elements together, you'll also portray a sense of confidence – confidence in your yourself and in your mission. With trust and confidence, and community alignment, you'll be amazed by what you'll be able to accomplish together.
Again, powerful vulnerability, that sense that you don't have all the answers, that you can't go it alone, is what paves the way for building, and sustaining, these all-important networks of trust. While they help to provide us with the strategic levers necessary to catapult the trajectory of our organization to an entirely new level (e.g., increasing its capacity for change, propelling its growth), perhaps most important of all is our shared ability to deliver a positive social return to our communities.
What do you see as possible within your organization, and across your community, by tapping into your own powerful vulnerability? And, how can you be a disciple in building communities of trust?

The basic premise, to build a strong, inexpensive inflatable boat. If you look at the Zodiacs, you'll see they run into the thousands of dollars. Even the lower cost (smaller) inflatables at WestMarine sell for over a thousand and go up. My basic plan is to use some heavy canvas, and impregnate it with something to make it air tight. The canvas should add plenty of strength allowing it to hold a little bit of pressure and stay rigid. Everyone I've spoken to about this project has responded either that I'm crazy (possible), this is impossible (I'll never believe it), or both.
Lets start with the base material. I am really thinking of using a heavy canvas, like the kind available at the hardware store as painter's drop cloth. Purchased like that, I can get large pieces of canvas that are very sturdy and inexpensive. I've used this material to make bags, covers, and cushoins for my sail boat. So, I think its a good starting point.
Next up, a low cost way to make the canvas air tight and durable. An early thought was to use latex because its cheap and readily available. The problem is latex will not last very long exposed to the sun and elements. I have experimented with "PlastiDip" stuff used to plastic coat tools, and "liquid electrical tape" but, these two substances are hard to the saturate fabric with. Probably just as well, as these would be pretty expensive in the quantity required.
I really think that a liquid vinyl or some kind of vulcanizing compound would be ideal. However, I have no idea where to find such things.
Step 1: Trival Math
The greater the airpressure in the inflated chambers, the stiffer the vessel will be. Determining the air pressure to use will come from a combination of material strength and size of the chamber. This will be modified downward with a consideration of material strength decline with age, consideration of forces from use (people sitting on it, waves, motor, etc) and a safety fudge factor.
Generally in the realm of inflatable boats, 5psi is considered high pressure.
So, for a 24 inch diameter tube, we get a circumference rounded up to 76 inches. So, 1 psi would equate to 76 pounds of force trying to tear it apart (2 would be 152). Since large tubes will be very hard to contain lots of pressure, a compromise could be to stack narrower tubes that could each have a higher pressure.
This asks for some pro/con cosideration.
Stacked Tubes:
PRO | CON• Higher pressuere (stiffer) | • Greater weight• More air chambers safer if | • More complex construction there is a puncture | • More material/expenseThe single tube is basically, the opposite of the above. If material costs are kept low, the cost part may not be a big deal.
A quick and dirty method of measuring the strength of the material is to cut a one inch wide strip to a length equal to the desired circumference, plus a little bit for hangers. Hang it up and start suspending weights from it until it breaks. Do it a few times and pick the low value for the weight that causes it to break.

I'm trying to figure out how to post an image from Sketchup here, but so far I'm unsuccessful. If you want to give me an email address I can send you the files.
This is the place the kayak guy recomends, but you might need to place a large order. They have hypalon fabric too, which is what whitewater rafts are made of.
Seattle Fabrics has a good selection too. And they have a $2 sample pack.
They often sell PVC tarps at home improvement stores as tarps. That is where i got mine.
Good luck and keep us posted.
I am also considering making a surf board from the pink 2 inch thick foam insulation covered with fiberglass and attaching a trolling motor.
I'm having trouble finding info on the web of people who have created their own inflatable boats. Tom Yost has a small kayak on his website he made with vinyl-reinforced poly tarp material gluing the seams with hh66 glue. He references a south american gentleman that made one too, but that's about it.
I was either thinking of using 18 oz tarp material like Tom, or use that for the outer hulls and make inner tubes with 20 mil pvc pond liner (a stretchy vinyl). My thought was the stretchy pond liner expands and pushes against the reinforced vinyl to create a more rigid structure. 18 oz vinyl tarp material can be had for $3 /yard (62" wide) and 20 mil pond liner is about $3 a sq yard.
Looking for any thoughts, experiences, or links to more info on budget diy inflatables.

In August, the assistant chief Los Angeles County coroner said Alan Goodman's death was no accident. "Mr. Goodman had injuries that were not, as reported, from a possible fall, and we did an autopsy, and it was determined that he died at the hand of another," Ed Winter said.
The prosecutor said Thursday that the state has a "strong circumstantial case" against the 70-year-old line judge.

Jack would be turning in his grave, says Blackburn Rovers stalwart Parkes
4:30pm Saturday 12th May 2012 in Blackburn Rovers & Premier League Table & Results By Andy Cryer , Blackburn Rovers reporter
TONY Parkes believes Jack Walker 'would be turning in his grave' at Blackburn Rovers' current plight – and fears owners Venky's have now reached the point of no return.
The man known as 'Mr Blackburn' fears Rovers' Premier League game at Chelsea tomorrow could be the club's last game in the top flight for a long time, unless huge changes are brought in now.
'Parkesy' has Rovers at heart having spent 35 years at the club.
He joined the playing staff at the age of 21 and went on to make almost 400 appearances for the club.
He then went on to become a coach, assistant manager, caretaker boss – several times – and a scout and still cares passionately about 'his club'.
He has watched Rovers' slide over the past 18 months in despair and admits the Venky's regime has been the polar opposite to life under 'Uncle Jack'.
He said: "Jack Walker would be turning in his grave.
"It is like the complete opposite happening now to what happened with Jack Walker.
"Jack was in it because he loved Blackburn Rovers and loved the town, Venky's aren't. I have to admit I don't know why they are in it at the moment.
"Jack built the stadium, built the training ground. He knocked down houses for car parking but gave the residents top dollar.
"You don't know why Venky's are here.
"There is so much unrest in the town. It seems to me as though Venky's are out of their depth and I have to say the only way forward is for them to go, it is as simple as that."
Rovers' trip to Stamford Bridge is almost a non-event after a disastrous season that has already condemned them to Premier League relegation.
Venky's have this week again stated their desire to make the wrongs right but Parkes, 63, believes the job on their hands is too big to achieve.
"Venky's have made a mistake," he said. "They should have bought something that they knew something about.
"Last time we went down it felt very different. We had people around the club who knew what it needed to get back up.
"There isn't that feeling now. I don't imagine many fans will go next season, although obviously some will, and there is just that depressing feel about the place at the moment it is so sad."
Parkes was one of those who felt Kean should have been sacked back in December and, after Rovers' relegation, has had no cause to change his mind.
He even believes changing the manager is the last glimmer of hope available to the Venky's, but admits even that would be nowhere near enough on its own.
He said: "Sacking Steve Kean is their only hope, although you can't help but feel even that would be too little too late now. It would get the fans back though.
"When Sam Allardyce was sacked, you got the feeling it was because he would not stand for the rubbish coming.
"Maybe that is why he continues to keep his job, maybe he is the only one who will.
"They need to bring an experienced manager in and let him do what he feels right.
"Without that, there is no way things can change.
"I have heard that Mrs Desai does not like anyone speaking negatively so that can be the only reason, Kean keeps saying the opposite of what is actually the case. Saying these are exciting times? How can relegation be exciting?
"The last 18 months have been terrible for the football club and, unless things change, the future will be as well."
