Businessman who helped secure millions of pounds worth of contracts lavished hospitality on Cleveland Police chiefs
Updated 7:55pm Thursday 13th March 2014 in News By Graeme Hetherington
A BUSINESSMAN secured millionw of pounds worth of contracts from Cleveland Police while footing the bill for lavish hospitality for senior members of the force embroiled in a corruption investigation.
At least three firms with connections to Rob Beattie spent thousands of pounds on season tickets at Middlesbrough Football Club as well as paying for trips to international rugby matches and Champions' League football matches.
The businessman, based in South Wales, who was arrested in connection with Operation Sacristy, was named in documents released after the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to press charges on any of the ten people arrested during the 41-month corruption probe as there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges.
The 53-year-old helped secure the contract for Reliance Secure Task Management just months after paying for senior officers, including disgraced former chief constable Sean Price, and officials from Cleveland Police Authority, including former chairman Dave McLuckie and former chief executive Joe McCarthy.
Reliance then took on Mr McCarthy as a managing director straight after he left the authority with a £360,000 redundancy package. He left the post in 2012 when the company was taken over.
In March 2007 Mr Beattie became a director of Enterprise Development Group, which later secured almost £1m worth of contracts from the force over a three year period.
According to the documents, the company paid thousands of pounds for a season ticket at Middlesbrough for 08/09, as well as paying for guests to attend several other games throughout that season.
The next two seasons, another company where Mr Beattie is a director, bus company W Collins and Co, paid more than £10,000 for a season ticket at Middlesbrough.
And in October 2010, he was a guest alongside Mr Price and Mr McLuckie, at a football match in Nottingham paid for by Steria, which secured a £175m contract for the force that year.
Mr Beattie was arrested during the inquiry but has been told that he will not face any charges. He denied any wrongdoing, said the executive boxes were not solely for police use and criticised the inquiry.
Speaking to The Independent, he said: "I worked up at Cleveland Police. As far as I'm aware did a very good job for them, helped them save tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of pounds, and changed the organisation.
"The fact that we had a box at Middlesbrough Football Club has no direct relevance to Cleveland Police in that respect except the number of times where they've registered that they've come along as guests and seen the football… it's not solely for, or specially for, the use of Cleveland Police."

This individual was paid an extraordinary amount from Cleveland ratepayers & lavished grossly excessive hospitality.
The outsourcing deal requires appropriate public scrutiny to prove that the contracts are in fact delivering services.
The idea this man delivered millions of pounds in savings when this force is now pleading poverty is laughable.
The discredited CPA must have had knowledge of the largesse on offer & should have acted, McLuckie's waist measurement must have been expanding by the day keeping the local hostelries in business.
The sad fact is the CPA hasn't been held to account & one of them is now running the force as the PCC.
You couldn't really make it up!

Scare stories about corporate football tickets is tantamount to fiddling while Rome burns.

359282 seems to forget the malicious & illegal prosecution of a local solicitor costing £550K, the fact that senior CP employees has left or been sacked & the behaviour of senior police staff has attracted an investigation costing £4.5M that many believe should have concluded in prosecutions.
The HMIC has accused CP as acting like a fiefdom.
The CPA was run by a convicted criminal going off on foursomes at public expense when these were proved to be totally unnecessary !
Ithe sacristy investigation is scathing about the lack of cooperation from those investigated which clearly means a lot of 'no comment' responses, it's ludicrous to suggest this is simply a police force not complying with procedures.
Millions of pounds have been squandered their contract awards require scrutiny & we are left with the force managed by an individual that sat on the CPA.
They have wrecked the reputation of this police force & you can bet there will be more to come!

- It could be said such behaviour was all In the line of duty at this public office institution, that made these particular individuals with so much perceived power, unable to see the seriousness of their judgement and now deemed to be so unfit for purpose.
It all seems just one bad joke in today's world where real JUSTICE is not being seen to be done, despite ...
- These immoral, cash-greedy people who all faced fraud and corruption charges, where incentive-money was used to pay-off people who broke every rule in the book AND YET as the Crown Prosecuting Service dutifuly said, their was insufficient evidence available to prosecute, a contradiction of the reports issued by The Independent Police Complaints Commisioner and the Investigating Officer !!!
Maybe the NEW Police Crime Commissioner will be shamed into resigning to avoid further investigations before someone urges him to call for a public inquiry into this whole malicious fiasco that occurred during his watch as McLuckie's second-in-command.

VICE Premiere
A$AP Ant Directed Young Diego's Video for "Young God"
Jun 5 2013
Young Diego is an MC who hails from Baltimore, a city known for red tops and astronomical murder rates. Directed by A$AP Ant, the video follows Ant, Diego, and the rest of the Marino Gang as they show you what it's like living on Lake Trout. Flexing with jail poses, a coke-white Mercedes, praying hands, and trigger fingers—these kids make it clear they're not just keyboard gangsters with ghostwriters.
Enjoy the video, but make sure your girlfriend doesn't hear you sing the song's ratchet-ass hook: "She come through, I get the neck and kick her out." But if she does, at least you'll have some dope tunes to listen to while you are spending the night sleeping alone on the couch.

Arizona State University is looking to add an extra year to head football coach Todd Graham's contract, keeping the coach signed through 2019.
Along with the extension, ASU is seeking to increase Graham's salary another $300,000, putting it at $2.7 million. As part of his contract, Graham's salary will increase by $100,000 annually on Jan. 1, 2015 and on Jan. 1, 2016. Every Jan. 1 after that will see an increase of $50,000.
In two seasons with the school, Graham has led the Sun Devils to a 18-9 record, including appearances in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl and National University Holiday Bowl. In 2013, ASU won 10 games and the Pac-12 South, which led to them hosting the Pac-12 title game at Sun Devil Stadium.

Before I get to the topic at hand – Kikiriki Review – I wanted to share my excitement from a few days ago (yes…obviously, as you'll read this, you'll tell it honestly doesn't take much to get me excited….or maybe a better way to put it is I lead a terribly boring life, haha). Anyways, I had some K-cash at KGB Deals to use for a while now and kept forgetting to check out their site. Well, I just happened to check it the other night, and I saw they had Miracle Noodles on. So my out-of-pocket expense was $13.29 for 26 packs of Miracle Noodles – 2 dozen of their most popular (8 angel hair, 8 rice, and 8 fettucini) plus at checkout I added 2 packs of spinach Miracle Noodles for $3.29. I had to pay $10 shipping (eek), but, as each pack is 2 servings, that will last me 50 meals!!! I'll just add in veggies/sauce and will have a really easy and quick meal. I'd call that a win! I'm glad I didn't think on it too long because I went back the next morning, and the deal had expired. Miracle Noodles are strange, but I like them. They're pretty pricey, so I was very happy to have scored the savings. How are some ways you save with food costs? (My other tips – farmers markets, places like Sam's Club, and for supplements and other harder-to-find healthy food – Vitacost).
Okay, so onto Kikiriki/Shell Sheli . Okay, so I like to say the name, Kikiriki, Kikiriki…. yes, I am indeed not in middle school anymore, but every once in a while I just can't help myself, the silly side of me surfaces. Maybe you've never heard of them? Until I actively searched out modest clothing and searched online, I was oblivious to soooo many companies. I used to think it was difficult and that you had to go out of your way to find modest clothing, but really, I would say that is changing. I am amazed at just how many companies are out there particularly devoted to selling fashion that is still modest. Of course, everyone's defnitinion of modest may look a little bit different, but there is something for everyone out there.
Layering tees. These come in so handy! You can use them as an extra layer of warmth when you're cold. You can use them to, as the name suggests, layer under a dress or top that otherwise might not work. You can also just wear them simply as a shirt under a cardigan or sweater… lots of options.
I am reviewing 3 of their tops – all the Kikiriki line – an ivory midriff, a light grey 3/4 sleeve, and a bordeaux long sleeve.
There are a lot I like about these, but I'll just get my negatives out of the way first ("negatives", though they're really more suggestions/just "FYI" type things). There were tags in the back that I had to cut out because they're super bothersome. I know that's not a big deal, and I even hate to mention it because it's an easy fix and is so minor, but a lot of other layering tees have tagless tees, and for the price, I just feel they should be as well. So that would be a suggestion – go tagless. Second thing, and I think this is an important thing – is their sizing charts. Completely forget about vanity sizing, folks, and don't go by the actual size chart that is provided either. And if it doubt, go up a size more. I read on the website how it says to order 1 size larger than normal since they are European sized, BUT they also have a size chart and so I figured their size charts would be accurate to what they were selling. So according to the size chart, I thought a Large would be okay, but it turned out to be WAY skin tight. So I had to exchange the 3/4 sleeve and long sleeve. But the return process was super fast and easy (so they get kudos for great customer service!) and I ended up getting an XXL (yeah, so much for feeling good about my progress, haha). To compare it, I have layering tees in both Mediums and Larges from Down East Basics/Modbe that fit about the same as this XXL. But I guess even negatives can have a positive – once you know you're size, you're good to go and can get it across the board mostly. *mostly because it still will depend on your build, obviously – the midriff top I got in a Large and it fits great, but I have a smaller chest than waist/hips, and obviously with the midriff, my bust is going to be covered, so since it fit nicely under the bust and the sleeves, I didn't have to exchange it).
Okay, now what I like about them! They are very comfortable…cozy…warm, but not hot….just feel really good on. As I said above, they are versatile and they also come in a myriad of colors and engths/styles! I would like to suggest a slightly lower neckline, but I'm sure a lot of people find the regular neckline perfectly fine (and the more I wear it, it doesn't bother me any more)! If you like to add a pop of color, you can choose their brights, if you want a very neutral, pick their blacks/browns/whites, or if you want something in between, they have those too. Shipping was fast, and as I said above, they are super friendly and quick to answer questions. The ordering/return process is easy as well.
Overall, I would definitely recommend them as a choice for your layering needs.
A few pictures on how you can use these tees.
(Please excuse the fact that this dress doesn't quite fit me yet! It was a major Goodwill find – Free People dress (with tags) for $6! I got it thinking I would sell it, but then I tried it on and fell in love with it. Now I just have to keep working out/eating healthy so I can breathe without the buttons popping! lol…that definitely wouldn't be so good for the whole modesty thing now would it?) So yeah, that weird looking smile is me teling myself to stand up straight and not to breathe! Can't focus on all that at one time! Oh, and notice too the strategically positioned hand to cover up a missing button – there is an extra attached to the tag, but I haven't gotten around to sewing it on yet.
I love tis dress, but has quite the plunging neckline ,and so I always have to wear something under it. In steps the midriff Kikiriki top to save the day and not create any more bulk!
And finally, another awesome aspect of these tees is the material is perfect for any occasion – you can wear it with a dress and not appear too casual, but you can also wear it with jeans or sweats and not appear too dressed up. Love things that multitask like that!
Have you jumped on the layering tee bandwagon?

Lago, who won a bronze medal in the halfpipe at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, placed second among Americans, behind only White. In all likelihood, four Americans will qualify for next year's Olympics in Socchi, Russia, so Lago is on track to return for his second Olympic Games.
However, qualifying events won't take place until next winter, and Lago has another two months of competitions this season to help him prepare for the qualifying events. He planned to fly to Park City, Utah, yesterday, with later trips to Switzerland and Russia planned for February and March.
"It's always competitive," Lago said. "How the Americans do this winter will determine if we get four spots at the Olympics next year. So hopefully, by the end of the World Cup push, we'll have that set in stone."

They are more than a nuisance; they're a health hazard.
Mosquitoes are a buzz-worthy topic this season as concern grows over a disease they carry- the chikungunya virus.
According to the Center Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the chikungunya virus is an illness caused by a virus that spreads through mosquito bites. They say with 34 cases, Florida already has far moreoccurrencess than any other state.
The most common symptoms are fever and joint pain, but others include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash.
A vaccine or preventative medicine does not currently exist for chikungunya, which is why experts at Pinellas County Mosquito Control say age-old prevention tactics against mosquito bites are especially significant now.
They suggest you get rid of all standing water where mosquitos may breed. If you have a pond, they say you should put minnows in it to eat the mosquito larvae. And the best part? You can scoop minnows out of a local lake for free.
In addition, they recommend putting a larvicide in your pond.
The experts also advise not going out at dawn or dusk if possible. If you do, they suggest wearing long sleeves, long pants, and spray on a product that contains DEET.
DEET comes in a variety of concentrations. Pick the one that is appropriate for you: 100-percent Deet for your clothes, 25-percent for trips into the woods, 15-percent for everyday activities, and five-percent for your kids.

Mark Wahlberg's claim that he would've been able to single-handedly over-power the 9/11 terrorists and prevent a plane from crashing is completely "disrespectful" ... so says the widow of one of the REAL heroic victims who RUSHED THE COCKPIT on that fateful day.
TMZ spoke with Deena Burnett-Bailey -- whose husband Thomas Burnett phoned her from that fateful flight saying, "I know we're going to die. There's three of us who are going to do something about it."
Burnett-Bailey tells us, "Does Mark Wahlberg have a pilot's license? Then I think hindsight is 20/20 and it's insignificant to say what you would have done if you weren't there. "
She adds, "The plan for Flight 93 was foiled by heroes. For him to speculate that his presence on board could have stopped everything is silly and disrespectful. Sounds like someone is grandstanding."
We called Wahlberg for comment -- so far, no word back.
Flight 93 was shot down with a missile, look on youtube for rumsfeld, bush and cheney accidentally admitting it. Thats why the debris was spread over 6 miles, if it hit the ground it would be in 1 place. Also there was no wreckage remember, just a hole in the soil. 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB by u.s govt and israel mossad.
No word back from Marky Mark yet huh? Darn.
Actors/Celebrities are in a perpetual PRETEND REALITY...they make millions PRETENDING while the real workers/heroes get tiny, in comparison, paychecks.
Actors/Celebrities pea-brains should be disregarded compared to the real life people actually dealing with the problems, issues and solutions of life.
MARK WAHLBERG and his fantasy actors should shut up, cash the ridiculously over inflated paychecks and slink back to your PRETEND WORLD, giving 80% of your paycheck ('cause that's what you REALLY are worth) to CHARITY would be a REAL LIFE START.
Quick someone phone Marks Publicist!!!!!!!! this ones gonna take some brainstorming. Mark better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think your an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it. Much love and respect to all those heroes who gave their hearts on that horrible day ~~FROM CANADA
I get what he was underlyingly trying to say, it just was his delivery of the message that comes across insensitive and hurtful to those who had loved ones on the flight.
I think people are thinking he is minimizing those who were on the plain and their efforts and acting like only he could have saved everyone.
I think his words are being misinterpreted, I think he meant well with his strong message of saying that had he been on that flight that he I guess was suppose to have been, that he basically would have done all he could and hoped to have saved it from occurring. I do not think he meant it to hurt or minimize or imply that others on the plane with families did not do enough, etc.
It is a case of "bad delivery of a message" "not thinking before speaking "inserting foot into mouth" instead of taking time to present his message in a different delivery that maybe people would not have filled in the blanks or misinterpreted.
I see both sides here. I don't think he intentionally meant to hurt, he just over-spoke and it comes across as arrogant as if he thinks only he could have prevented the crash or saved everyone.
In a nutshell: Bad delivery of his message. We all in live have impulsively reacted or responded to something without thinking how our words may impact, especially when we feel strongly about something.
He too, is human.
I think Mr.Walberg should think before he speaks.This is real life not a movie.How could anyone know how they would react in a situation like 911.It's a free country and he can say what he wants to that doesn't mean he should.Hopefully no one ever second guess's the super hero Mr.Walberg!
Quick someone phone Marks Publicist!!!!!!!! this ones gonna take some brainstorming. Mark better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think your an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it. Much love and respect to all those heroes who gave their hearts on that horrible day ~~FROM CANADA
Let me guess, he's going to star in the remake of "Quantum Leap"?
911 was an inside job! Only an idiot would believe that jet fuel can instantly melt steel, and the Illuminati know this world is full of idiots!.
What a peckerwood! This is real life. You know that if he were on that plane that he would have been cowering behind a seat because he is a celebrity. He is just being a big talker, but in reality he would have crapped his pants!
Did they ever find the black box from flight 93, or any of the other flights? Enquiring minds need to know!
I'm not going to get mad at him--as I have also been in a situation where because of cir***stances, I didn't make it somewhere I was supposed to, and those who did..died.
It's a hard thing to wrap your mind around and you like to think that if you had made it, you could have fixed it.
The people who are getting defensive because he wasn't in that situation, aren't in his situation either. We all cope our own way.
I think he does have his pilot license, which is why I think he said that. Still, really stupid thing to say. Bad idea Mark.
she can say what she wants because she is sitting on a couple of million she got because of her husband.Mark can say what he wants because he has a mike held to his face..its called the united states,,freedom of speech

Truckload carriers are raising their rates to cover increased costs from the new hours-of service rule, but not enough to keep up with the estimated loss of productivity, says Mark Montague of DAT, the load matching and analytic services company.
In a recent blog post, Montague said his analysis of spot market data shows that seasonally adjusted truckload rates have increased from 1.6% to 1.7% since July 1, when the rule went into effect.
Based on estimates that the rule will reduce productivity by 3% to 5%, this means the carriers are not recouping their cost of the rule, Montague writes.
"That means the carriers will be 'eating' about half of the revenue loss, at least until they can negotiate new contract rates for 2014," he says.
New contracts typically are negotiated in the first period and implemented in the second, he said.

Will History Rhyme? The Past as Financial Future
AbstractHistory demonstrates that global capital markets can contract as well as expand. A long-term view of finance suggests that we should prepare for periodic segmentation as well as integration of markets in the 21st Century. Anti-capitalist ideologies have historically been the vectors of attack on the cross-border flow of capital, however the fundamental cause may actually be domestic hostility towards foreign ownership and control. The roots of the conflict between domestic interests and foreign investors may be inherent in global equilibrium models. In a frictionless capital market, foreigners will always own a greater proportion of a small economy's assets. By the same token, domestic investors in small economies will always seek to export most of their capital. This equilibrium is at odds with a stable condition of national ownership and control of assets.

The boat is all done and in the water! She sails wonderfully, and is a lot of fun:
Below is the chronology of its construction:
To start, here are the lines plans. They were done using the software 'DelftShip', and were based on the original catboat design I did about 15 years ago. The lines were modified to give a little more depth amidships, more curvature to the garboard line and cross-section in the floors, and is one foot longer with a slightly higher transom edge to clear the waterline.
The hull will be framed in White Ash, with a laminated keel and sawn frames. The planking will be 6mm marine plywood, using epoxy-glued lapstrake construction. The mast will be made of vertical-grain Sitka Spruce, with an unstayed gaff rig.
Construction began not with the full size, but with a 1":1' scale model to check the fairness of lines and general layout. Here are some photos of the model:
Then, since the workshop still had another project being finished, the tiller carving seemed like a nice way to get it going. That began with a clay mockup of the eagle head and ropework, which was then carved into the full-sized Cherry tiller:
Now, ready to start real construction, work began with the frames. The full size lines plans were drawn up and transferred onto card stock, one frame per sheet. The card stock makes it much sturdier and easier to handle in the workshop than a vellum drawing. The frames are cut from 3/4" thick white ash. The wood was layed out to minimize cross grain, with the joints half-lapped and epoxied together. Once the epoxy was set, the frame outline was traced onto the wood blank using the card stock patterns, and band-sawn out:
Once the frames were all sawn out, it was time to make the keel. It was glued up out of three laminations of White Ash - the center lamination 3/4" thick, and the outer two 5/8" thick. The center lamination had a gap left in it to make the centerboard slot. The edges of the outer laminations were coated with a layer of fiberglass cloth and epoxy to give it better wear resistance to the movements of the centerboard, since once built it is very hard to get back in and repaint!
In the back of the first photo you can see where the keel gets taller. This is the portion back by the transom, where it is the deepest. That portion of the keel had to be pieced up, with the joints in the laminations staggered for strength, as shown in the second photo.
Once the keel was done, the stem was also laminated up. Since the stem wraps around the forefoot to be joined to the keel, the laminations were rotated from each other so that there would be no cross-grain all the way through the curve and the joint. The joint with the keel was half-lapped, with a White Oak knee across the inner surface for strength. The whole thing was through-bolted, with the upper bolt being a silicon bronze eyebolt which will be used to pull the boat out of the water back onto the trailer.
The leading edge of the stem was tapered to give a finer entrance into the water, and also for appearance above the waterline:
Here is the centerboard trunk - each end projects down through the inner keel to help locate the trunk. It will later get blocks on either side to give places to fasten it to the keel, and also to hold several of the middle frames which would have gone all the way across.
Now, it will really start to look more like a boat! The next step is to set up the frames as they will be planked. This is just a mock-up stage, to check for fairness of the frames and to position stringers, deck beams, and seat supports. Each frame had to be extended down to a common plane so they would stand in the correct position while upside down. This was done with 1x3 pine boards, with 1x2 cross-pieces to stiffen them and provide a place to attach them together. These pieces are just temporary.
Here are the first few frames set up:
All of the frames are now set up, and were checked for fairness - came out right first time!
Here the outer ribs are being bent on. They are 5/16" thick white ash, soaked in water overnight to make them pliable enough to bend. Once dry, they are epoxied on. The ribs add some strength and tie everything together.
Once the ribs were epoxied on, it was time to notch the frames to fit around the inner keel. To do that, cutoff pieces of the outer and inner keel were used as templates to get the notches placed correctly:
The final step on the notching is to cut back the ribs to allow a place for any water that gets in the boat to drain down to the lowest point:
Since all the frames are done, it is now possible to finish off the work on the stem. Two things need to be done to it. The first is to add a bolster piece just inside where the planking will meet the stem. These pieces add additional support to the ends of the planks. They are rough-sawn from 3/4"ash, epoxied in place, then the final bevelling is done with chisels and planes:
Once the bevel of the bolster pieces is done, the stem itself is notched to receive the ends of the planks. This notch has a 90 degree angle at its bottom, and the notch is angled to match the bevel on the bolster pieces.
Now on to a fun part (and one that really adds to the look of the boat), fitting the transom. The transom is a bit tricky, since it sits at an angle different than all the frames do, and the edges have to have a rolling bevel to exactly match the edges of the planks. The transom is made out of 5/4" Mahogany, glued up out of narrower boards. It is attached to the keel with an oak knee, using lag bolts into the keel and carriage bolts through the transom. First, the blank for the transom is fitted up with the knee to get the bottom edge of the transom done:
Next, the shape of the transom is transferred from the plans, and the outline sawn out. The bevel is done using a drawknife and planes, using a batten to get the angle to the frames correct:
After this, the seat supports and deck beams can be added. At the ends of the hull the deck beams go full width, a half-inch below the deck line to allow for the thickness of the deck planks. In the rest of the hull, the deck beams only go 7 1/2" from the sides of the hull, to frame in the side decks and coaming. These beams are half-lapped into vertical supports. Three of them also join into the seat supports, and there are two full-width seat supports at the stern (the seats will run down both sides of the cockpit and wrap around at the stern). Also, it is time to fit lengthwise stringers down the inside edges of the frames, to add stiffness to the hull. All of these pieces are much easier to fit now, before the planking is on since you can reach all around to measure and fasten.
So, all the frames are done, as well as the stem and transom. The next step is to fit the centerboard case into the center of the middle frames. The four middle frames have their centers cut out to the width of the case, and screwblocks are added to attach the frames to the centerboard case as well as to attach the case to the top of the inner keel:
Here is a shot of the centerboard trunk installed on the keel (this was taken later, after painting was done). Note the attachment of the frames to the centerboard trunk.
Last to go in on the framework is a few vertical supports for the foredeck (on a catboat, there is a tremendous load on the foredeck to support the mast and all the force of the sail, since there are no side-stays on this type of rig). After this, the framework is turned right side up to make it easier to fit the mast step and the king-plank for the foredeck, as well as the stringer to connect the inner edges of all the side deck beams. There are also some additional supports under the rear deck to handle the loads that will be put on the mainsheet traveller which will run across the rear deck surface.
The last of the hull pieces to be built indoors is the coaming, which will run down either side of the cockpit, with tight radius bends around the aft end of the cockpit and a single large radius bend at the front end of the cockpit. These bends are laminated out of thinner material, soaked to make them pliable and then bent over forms. The forms have a slightly tighter bend and go slightly past the desired angle, since even laminated pieces will spring back slightly when released from the forms. After bending (forward coaming on a semi-circle form, stern forms on a quarter-circle form), the pieces are left to dry thouroly and then the two halves of each are epoxied together. The sections of the coamings down the sides of the cockpit are made from single pieces rather than laminating, since they have very little bend to them.
Once the wood was bent on and let dry, the two layers were epoxied together. This required clamps. Lots of clamps. LOTS OF CLAMPS!!! Just about all the small clamps I had - nearly a hundred of the things! Needed so many since the epoxy made the thin laminations bow just a bit apart, and I wanted a tight joiint along the edges.
Then, all the pieces will be sanded, primed, and painted, ready to be set up out in the garage in the spring for final planking.
Painting.... Lots of painting....!
And some varnishing on the transom and centerboard trunk cover (the upper edge of the transom is still straight in this photo - it will be cut to the curve of the deck after planking and the deck are on. The lettering on the transom parallels what the curve of the deck line will be:
Once all the painting was done, the framework was set up once more and thin battens used to mark where the plank edges would be. The battens were adjusted till a fair curve was found for each plank, with even plank widths all the way up the hull. One tricky place is where the first plank (the garboard) meets the stem, due to the extreme bends here - care was needed to give it a good appearance while keeping the shape easy to form from the planking.
Winter is dragging on, so I got the mast, gaff, and boom made up while waiting for warmer weather. Those will be made out of vertical-grain Sitka Spruce, which is lightweight, very strong, and can take bending loads well. The sail has been ordered from Gambell and Hunter Sailmakers in Maine, and will hopefully be here by then as well (I can carve and build, but my sewing is NOT up to making a sail!). The mast is laminated up from two layers of 2" thick Sitka, while the boom and gaff could be gotten out of one thickness. The blanks for both the mast and the boom had to be made of two lengths spliced together to get the 14' long pieces needed. A handheld power planer was bolted to a pair of guides, and the Sitka pieces put between a pair of 8:1 aspect ratio wedges. The planer was then run down the wedges to plane the ends of the 8' long boards to a smooth, straight wedge shape that could be epoxied to another identical piece to make up the 14' long boards. Those long boards were then glued up to make the thickness needed for the mast.
Once the blanks were made up, the centerlines of the spars were laid out, and the widths marked. The spars are not straight-sided, but are tapered. The mast is 3" thick at the base, and tapers to the top. The gaff and boom are 2" thick at their widest points, which are a few feet from their forward ends, and taper down at both ends a bit. The blanks were tapered while still square, then the rounding process starts. This is done by first planing off the corners of the square blanks to make an eight-sided cross-section. Then, the corners are knocked off of that to make a 16-sided cross-section. These spars are small enough that the 16-sided shape could be hand-planed and sanded round from that point. The result is a spar that looks like it was done on a lathe, but it is all done with hand planes and sanders - actually it goes pretty quickly.
A spar gauge used to mark the sides so that it could be then planed down to an 8-sided piece:
First corner planed off:
Second corner...
Third... (notice the LARGE pile of sawdust accumulating)
And fourth corner planed off. Now, the mast blank is a tapered eight-sided length. After that all that needed to be done was to plane off the eight corners and round it off. This was done by eye, and the result sanded smooth. The same process was done for the boom and gaff (spars that hold the top and bottom of the sail). All were varnished.
Then, it was time to make the boom and gaff jaws, which guide the ends of those spars on the mast. A thick piece of white oak was marked for the shapes, and run through a bandsaw to cut out the pieces:
The jaws were sanded smooth, varnished, and bolted to the boom and gaff. For final varnishing, they spars were hung from a work support and a final thinned varnish coat applied:
The toggle in-between the gaff jaws provide a surface to spread the load of the gaff against the mast as it swings around in the wind. The mast where the boom will rest will be covered in leather to prevent chafing, as will the inside of the gaff jaws.
Last to be made are the centerboard and rudder. The centerboard is cut from a 1/2" thick board, tapered where it hangs down from the hull, and then a recess is cut to hold lead weight to let it sink. I used 50-cal roundball lead shot that I had from my flintlocks (another project entirely!), hammered to a flatter shape, laid into the recess and epoxied in place. Then, a thin layer of fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin covered the board to stiffen it. A similar process was done with the rudder, except without the lead weights.
After all that, finally ready to set up out in the garage to plank it in the spring!
Here goes outside finally - set up out in the garage, on some indoor/outdoor carpet to save both my feet and any tools that may get dropped:
First planks on (finally!)
The planks are cut from 4x8 sheets of 6mm (just under 1/4") thick marine plywood. This marine plywood is made up of 5 equal-thickness layers of Okume wood, with no voids, and glued with a waterproof glue so it will not delaminate even if it does get wet. Since the planks are more than 14' long, they must be glued up from two lengths of the plywood. The same scarfing jig as was used on the mast is used again, but with a lower-angle wedge. Two layers of the plywood (rough cut to the approximate shape of the plank, with some extra for final fitting) are stacked in the jig and cut together. Then they are glued up with wax paper and clamps. When dry, the plank can be fitted and trimmed down to its final shape:
At the ends of the planks, gains are cut to make the ends of the planks all lie in a flat plane with each other. This serves a couple of purposes: first, it prevents any gaps under the planks, and also it looks much better! The gains are cut with a rabbet plane, set up with a side fence so the gains are 3/4" wide, and also a depth stop set to half the thickness of the planks. The gains are cut full depth at the ends, and taper out to nothing about 1 1/2' back from the ends.
Planking continues, averaging one pair per day (cant go much faster, since the epoxy needs to cure). The planks are overlapped with each other by 3/4", and the laps are layered with thickened epoxy before the plank is clamped on. At the ends, the planks are screwed into the stem and transom. The planks will also be screwed into the frames later on. The locations of the screws into the frames are marked but not drilled yet - the screws will be put in after the hull is turned right side up and the inside painted. Leaving the screws out for now allows the frames to be moved out of the way a group at a time to paint the inside (more on this later).
Really starting to look like a boat now...
The next photo shows a closeup of the plank laps. The inside corner of the joint has a fillet (pronounced 'fill-it', not like the steak) of thickened epoxy added to seal up the endgrain and also to strengthen the joint. This will be done on both the inside and outside of the hull on every lap (sounds tedious, but it goes on very quickly). The epoxy is thickened with a colloidal silica powder - looks like talcum powder, but is made up of tiny glass beads with little spikes on them. It makes the epoxy more of a paste without effecting its adhesive properties.
Here is a sequence showing how a plank is marked and fitted. First, the previous plank must be beveled so that the next one will lay flat against it. To do this, a short straight piece is used as a guide, and the edge beveled until the straitedge lays flat from the mark where the new plank will end and the end of the overlap on the old plank (this is where all those marks made earlier come into play)...
Next a roughly cut plank is clamped in place, and a pencil line traced on the inside where the new plank overlaps the previous one. The positions of the frames are also marked to make it easier to see where the frames are, since that will be measured from next...
Then, the plank is turned over, showing the traced pencil line. The width of the overlap, in this case 3/4", is set on a pair of dividers and that distance marked periodically down the plank....
Then, the distance from the edge of the previous plank to the edge of the new one is measured...
And marked on the new plank. This is done at every frame...
Then, a line is drawn with a flexible batten through those sets of marks. This shows the outline of the new plank...
Which is then sawn out and the edges planed smooth with a hand plane. The plank is now ready to attach.
Planking contiues on.... Getting close now, 9 of ten planks per side are on....
And the last one goes on!
A view from underneath - a sample of things to come (stand on your head to look at this one to get a better idea of the finished boat!)
More pictures to come as the boat progresses.... stay tuned! .... Next step is to do the rest of the fillets on the outside, and then the outside will be sanded and painted. Then the fun part - turning it over finally and doing the interior.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WSVN) -- A high school senior with Down syndrome signed a two-day contract with Philadelphia.
On Monday he signed with his hometown team, and Tuesday night he was part of their pre-game introductions.
The new breakout star of the Philadelphia 76ers and a fan favorite was the center of the team huddle.
His name is Kevin Grow. Before he was a free agent, the 18-year-old was already a star player. Grow was the manager of the Bensalem High School basketball team for four years.
With two minutes remaining in the final game of the season, Grow's coach took him off the bench and put him into the game. He then scored four three pointers for 14 points, including a buzzer beater.
After the play went viral, it was only a matter of time before the pros came calling. The Sixers signed Kevin to the ceremonial contract with the team.
Grow hit the court for team practice wearing his new custom jersey and scoring extra points with fans and family.

I wish the meteor could progress past a planetoid. I ended up giving up at around 117m on the first stage. It about the same size as the planet lol. Good game, but too short. More open space stages would've been better too.

Leeds, United Ki...
I cooked up the idea of adapting it to use buttons at the back quite a while ago but couldn't wrap my brain around the logistics of the conversion.
I finally figured it out last week and realised I'd been so silly over thinking it!
This top uses 8 buttons. It felt like a lot! I made contrast covered buttons from a black twill I had in my stash.
Find out more on my blog!
I used a gorgeously soft, grey rayon I bought at the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching show. It has lines of different bird cages with birds on it! It is rather see through though.

Graphing Quadratic Equations - Problem 6 297 views
One of the unique features of parabolas is that they are symmetric around the vertical line that passes through the vertex point. You can imagine a vertical "mirror line" that cuts the parabola into two halves. You can see this in a table of values, as well, provided you are clever in the way you set up your table. Here we explore how to find the vertex from vertex form and put that in the middle of the table with x values on either side of it. From there, we find the corresponding y values, using symmetry as a shortcut, and graph the parabola. This trick is preferable to plugging in randomly chosen x-values because we are including the "turning point," or vertex and finding points on either side of it to complete the symmetry.

I too am curious what makes people think it's a fraud. It's a well known brand, plenty of pictures, and while it's a decent price it isn't exactly a steal for the size so what gives? What's the big red flag? He's obviously including his (not great) table in the "almost a thousand dollars", but it's a medium cooker at 15". $350 doesn't seem super cheap for a used medium.Fraud?? Seriously??
Good point! If it is in fact a large, I will offer $300Mighty_Quinn said:
If by chance he is mistaken about the cooking grid size and it's really 18", not 15"...which would make it a large as he states in the listing title, then I'd be all over it...great deal for used large GD.

Argentine Ants
Perhaps the most widespread and invasive ant across the globe is the Argentine ant. As their name indicates, Argentine ants originate from Argentina but have since spread to South Africa, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. These brown-colored, competitive ants drive other ants out of their nests and take over the territory. Argentine ants prefer nests in dark, moist areas, such as soil, rotting wood, potted plants, under buildings and sidewalks, and inside wall voids. Colonies are very large and often house several queens; sometimes colonies even join together to create super colonies. Argentine ants love to make themselves at home in your home during the winter months when the climate becomes especially cold, wet, or dry. They are small and can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks. Argentine ants will feed on anything sweet, but their preference is honeydew excreted from aphids. Most ant problems in California are Argentine ants in houses.

Although their bite is not poisonous, it may burn and itch. To prevent infection, wash the bite and avoid scratching. Basic over-the-counter medications, such as calamine lotion and antihistamine, will help alleviate the pain and stop the itching.
Argentine Ant Control
Argentine ants are hard to get rid of; there's almost no stopping them! In fact, most ant control products or methods will actually spread the colony into more colonies. So, for this type of ant, calling a professional may be the surest way to solve the problem. Professionals will do one of the following things.
- Poisoned baits: Sponsor a feast for your unwanted guests. This treatment entails putting out toxic bait that the Argentine ants readily carry back to their humble abode for their—unbeknownst to them—last meal.
- Insecticide barriers: This treatment is way more effective than any "No trespassing!" signs you may have put up. It consists of putting insecticide chemicals on or close to places of entry for the ants. One example involves putting a coating of insecticide on doorsills to kill or repel intruding Argentine ants.
Argentine Ant DIY Pest Control
Be sure to use only specified products to eradicate an Argentine ant nest. Argentine ants will relocate with one of their many queens if disturbed, resulting in a worse infestation. Do not use any ant spray or dust.
- Use bait: Target the problem by using an ant bait product in order to get into the heart of the nest. To get the ants heading towards the bait, first lay down peanut butter and honey on an index card where you have seen many of the ants. The ants will leave a scented trail for others to follow to the food source; after a few hours replace the peanut butter and honey with insecticide bait. The ants will continue following the trail straight to the bait. Some pest control organizations suggest placing the bait outside in order to prevent more ants from entering your home.
- Spray the perimeter of your home: Spray doorways, windowsills, cracks in the foundation, and any other place of entry with insecticide spray to deter ants from coming in and making themselves at home.
Argentine Ant Green Pest Control
If you're interested in an environmentally-friendly way to rid yourself of Argentine ants, consider the following green solutions.
- Hide your stash of food: Keep sugary foods in tight containers and store in the fridge. Check to make sure the gasket of the fridge completely seals. Clean off crumbs from all kitchen surfaces. Place pet food bowls in a tray of water.
- Build a moat: For food-associated objects such as trash cans and picnic tables, stand the object in water with several drops of bleach solution.
- Stop the leak: Cut down on areas of frequent moisture, such as leaks from the hose spigot.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is investigating allegations of sexual violence at Vanderbilt University, a spokesman for the federal agency told The Associated Press.
The investigation follows complaints filed in November by students and former students at Vanderbilt who alleged that the school responded inadequately to reports of sexual assault. It also comes amid a criminal case in Nashville of allegations that four former Vanderbilt football players took part in a gang rape of a student in a school dorm last June.
Similar complaints have been filed at a number of other schools. Currently the office is investigating 51 schools for allegations of sexual violence on campus, the spokesman for the federal agency said in an email. He did not provide a list of the schools, but said it would be released in coming days.
There are a number of federal laws that require colleges to address sexual assaults on campus. They include the renewed Violence Against Women Act, which has new provisions for sexual assault on campus and Title IX, which bars gender discrimination in education.
"Vanderbilt is fully cooperating with a Title IX regulatory compliance review being conducted by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights," Beth Fortune, a spokeswoman for Vanderbilt, said in an email. "We understand the Department of Education to be conducting these reviews at a number of campuses across the country."
She said the university has not seen any complaints that may have been filed with the Office for Civil Rights.
"Vanderbilt is committed to complying with Title IX and protecting the safety and well-being of our students," Fortune said.
