text: in play at 14. I mean he was a top ten talent. How did he look this year? And how do we know if bruce carter is going to be ready to start this season? I mean he barely played even in blow outs. Vontaze would add some physicality and passion to our defense. He seems to play his heart out. He is also a good blitzer. He reminds me of ray lewis with the big hits and passion he plays with. he is already 6'3 250lbs. He is nfl ready.

My First Deer - Year 1973
My First Deer Year 1973
By Harold Stephens
I am 51 years old and I can remember that weekend as if it happened yesterday. It was one of those days when youre young, you feel like you're immortal and nothing in the world is wrong. I was 13 yrs old. It was 1973 and deer season. I was in camp with my dad and his friends and their children.
Camp consisted of a cook shack with cedar posts as corners, reclaimed 2-by's for framing and old tin each member could scrounge over the years. The kitchen was used cabinets from an old house and the sink drain plumbed to outside, kerosene lanterns and 12 volt electric lights illuminated the inside. The heater was an old pot belly stove. Our main luxury at the camp was the butane refrigerator that my dad took in as trade on some side work. We carried water up each weekend in Igloo water coolers that were used all week long on the construction site. The bathroom was any tree nearby and an old cane bottom chair, minus the cane bottom and the pointed nose shovel by the door of the cook shack with the TP on the handle. Our sleeping quarters were an old green canvas army tent and cots. If you got cold you pulled over another blanket or just shivered all night. Outside the cook shack was the fire ring that was used for all meals except breakfast and the storytelling sessions when not out hunting.
I can still see in my mind the tree stand my dad and I hunted from, nothing fancy or expensive or protected from Mother Nature for that matter. Our shooting position was a couple of 2 x 6's nailed up in the upper branches of the tree and 2 x 4's nailed to the trunk for the ladder up. In the morning your rear end got wet as the ice and frost from the night before melted underneath you. The wind felt like it was cutting right through you and at that time no one even thought about safety harnesses, so there was the occasional pucker factor as your tree swayed. The thing about it though, I thought I was in heaven in those days. Today I would give anything to set in a stand with my dad, just to see his smiling eyes and his concentration trying to find that deer so I could become the hunter he wanted me to be.
On this day it was a Saturday evening hunt. It had been the perfect day since before sunup. The morning hunt: watching the sun rise, and the world coming alive. This is still my favorite time to hunt. I love seeing the world awaken before me and guess what the strange noises from the brush and surrounding trees are. After the morning hunt, I waited for camp breakfast of scrambled eggs, biscuits and milk. There is nothing like deer camp food no matter where you are in the world. Then came the wondrous midday exploring of the surrounding woods with the other camp kids and the excitement of readying for the evening hunt.

Will There Ever be Enough Light for Lomography Redscale 100?2012-09-17 11 13 Share Tweet
A fine weekend in London with nothing but blazing sun and blue skies! Highly unlikely I know, but a great chance to try out my first roll of Lomography Redscale 100 in my Holga GN 120. The results raised the question: will there ever be enough light for Lomography Redscale 100?
Excited by the prospect of that 'evening sunset' tone in my images (bordering on the sepia) I knew I would need a lot of sunlight to bring out the detail in the images.
I must stress here that the day (as unlikely as it sounds for London) was in fact extremely sunny and there was strong light. You'll have to take my word on that! I experimented with single and multiple exposures. As you will see, the photos have come out relatively dark considering the setting. The photos of the London Eye were shot almost directly into the sun, with a bright blue sky behind it.
Some tips for shooting with Lomography Redscale 100 :
- Make sure it is a verry sunny day
- Don't be afraid to shoot into the sun, or at the very least with a bright sun reflection on your object being shot
- Consider treating it like any B&W film. It's great with shadow contrast.
- The best colours to photograph include red, brown and white in my opinion. Blue for example will have little to no effect
- Make sure it is a verry sunny day!!
It would be great to hear about the experiences of others with the effects of light with the Redscale film. Enjoy this fun film alternative!

Birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Florence is a city of great cultural and artistic value, where the architecture of the churches and buildings make us go back in time and relive the Renaissance atmosphere. Do not miss the Piazza del Duomo, where the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore is, the Piazza della Signoria with the historic Palazzo Vecchio and finally, the Uffizi Gallery, which showcases some of the most important works of art in the world, from Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
Around the city, the Tuscan countryside offers excellent wines with denomination of origin, like Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino or Morellino di Scansano.

Perry Primary School kindergartner Rose Mingus welcomed a very special guest Thursday afternoon when her father, Cpl. George Mingus, arrived in her classroom to sign her out for school for the day.
Teacher Melanie Morgan announced to the class they had a special guest just before Cpl. Mingus entered the room. When Rose saw who it was, she shouted, "Daddy!" and then jumped into his arms for their first hug in almost 11 months.
Cpl. Mingus, who has been serving in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army Reserves since last July, surprised all three of his children, who had not known he was returning home. Rose's visit was the second for the day, as George has already greeted son John at Taylor County Pre-K. His next stop was Taylor County Elementary School to greet his fifth-grade daughter, Ladona.
Cpl. Mingus' tour was his third, having already completed two tours in Iraq.

Coach Carter
Page Tools
Learning curve ... Coach Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson), fifth from
left, and his players.
Directed by Thomas Carter
Written by Mark Schwahn and John Gatins
Rated M
Cinemas everywhere
Coach Ken Carter made headlines in the US in 1999 when he benched a winning high school basketball team for their lack of academic results.
This was a largely black and Hispanic team from Richmond High, in a poor, crime-ridden suburb of San Francisco. For these kids, winning was about more than pride - it was a chance to earn scholarships to college or big money in the major leagues. Carter, a former basketball star from the same school, took on irate players and parents alike. He was prepared to forfeit games to make his point, that learning was more important than winning.
It's a good premise, because it sets up the one righteous man against the many, High Noon-style, as it cuts deep into contemporary issues - the failure of American education, the way sport feeds on poverty, the lack of choices for boys and girls in these communities. The movie tackles all these questions, but with only one answer: tough love, the same answer Hollywood usually gives in films involving a school and a ghetto.
"I am going to give you contracts," Coach Carter, played by Samuel L. Jackson, bays at his players on their first day in the gym. They can either sign them or leave. The contracts require submission to his clear, unbending rules - if you're late for training, you don't train. If your average mark falls below C-plus, you don't play. All players will wear a coat and tie on game day. "If you sign them, you will become successful," he promises. "If there's one thing I know: the losing stops today."
The players snarl and swear, calling him "some uppity-class negro", so he shows some violence and bans the word "nigger". He then pushes them to a point of exhaustion, using push-ups and "suicides" (running up and down the court for hours) as both training and punishment. The coach is that old stand-by of the sports movie, the benevolent dictator - except he's hardly benevolent. His training is more like boot camp than basketball, and you get the feeling he wishes he could use live ammunition. I can just about hear the grunts of approval during these scenes from all those in the audience who think the poor are poor because they lack discipline, initiative and good manners. Coach Carter may not be so simplistic, but his solution fits a middle-class white dream of what needs to happen in black America: turn off the rap music, put on a tie and make something of yourself. After all, he did.
The director, Thomas Carter (no relation), is careful to show us that Coach Carter has a successful sports store business, drives a Mercedes and lives in a leafy, comfortable neighbourhood. His own son Damien (Robert Ri'chard), a promising basketball player and A student, goes to a posh private school, but wants to transfer to Richmond High, where kids enter through metal detectors and gun searches. "Sir, please listen," Damien tells his dad when they argue. "All I want is to play for you."
Coach Carter has all the cliches of the American sports movie and the classroom drama, but there are signs of life. A subplot concerns the desperate desire of a teenage girl (played by the singer Ashanti) for a baby, even before graduation, a theme that's unusual. Her boyfriend (Rob Brown) is a star player, who sees a wider horizon. The script gives most of the players choices; the coach forces them to make them.
The movie builds a credible picture of the pressures within this community, and the way poverty limits communal thinking. Carter recites the statistical bad news: only half of Richmond's students graduate and, in Richmond, you're 80 per cent more likely to go to prison than college. When the team starts winning, with soaring bodies slamming baskets in pounding montages, it's stirring and you understand why this game is so important for players and spectators alike.
What you won't get is any wider politic about the causes of this poverty. It's just a fact, and the only escape is individual effort. Even with all the script's talk about teamwork, the figure of Coach Carter, the lone hero, towers over any other conclusion we might be tempted to draw. The movie's horizons are not all that high after all, despite good intentions.

We Must Never Forget 9/11
It was 12 years ago today terrorists attacked America, killing 2,983 people.
Militants linked to al-Qaida hijacked four planes, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one into the Pentagon, before a fourth plane was brought down in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
As a result, today is "Libraries Remember Day," "Remember Freedom Day," and "National Day of Service and Remembrance."
And on a lighter note: today is also "Odd Day" because it's 9/11/13.

This sample pack is a staple for my office! I'm a bit of a tea snob, but looseleaf teas can be a pain to deal with at work, so these loose muslin bags are perfect. I prefer this sample pack to the Essentials pack Kusmi also makes, because I find this one has more variety and originality. Bonus: they recently updated the selection to include a tea called "BB Detox," which has maté and grapefruit and is absolutely delicious.5

Janie Conway-Heron, or Wednesday Wordsmith
07/11/2012 , 3:31 PM by Joanne Shoebridge
Our Wednesday Wordsmith hasn't got a book that she's just published. She's been busy overseeing the works of thousands of our local authors over the last 16 years and now it's her time to write and make music.
Janie Conway-Herron is in her last week of being a Senior Lecturer at Southern Cross University and is about to retire, travel and write her next book.
In 2010 Janie published a book 'Beneath the Grace of Clouds' and more recently her work has been published in a collection of works about her dear friend Ruby Langford Ginibi. She has also worked helping women living on the Thai - Burmese border tell their stories with the written word, but previously Janie Conway-Heron was a musician and she plans to start recording again soon.
Hear more about Janie's story by listening to her chat with Joanne Shoebridge on the eve of her departure.

Ladies, if you're behind the wheel, you better know the basics supporting that steering device. That wisdom from my dad still resonates with me. Dad never shooed me away whenever he was bent over the engine of our lime-green station wagon, coaxing a new timing belt into that behemoth V-8 motor. I credit him for my fondness of cars and hope to instill the same with my own kids, starting with my first baby (well, she's actually 18, but you know how Moms are).
She starts college in a about a week—five states away. Too many borders to cross, too far away from me. Rather than weep all summer, I'm planning ahead: she and I will be hauling her things to the dorm this coming weekend. We are a bit on the late side, but this final summer travel session should be good for some mother-daughter bonding time.
I expected her to cringe. Instead, she loves the idea of us driving late in the summer, just before the semester starts. Her dad said it'll be a long haul during the summer travel season, especially with our neighbor David's trailer hooked up to our car. Given that she hasn't been doing a lot of driving, that'll require some safe driving techniques that may be new to her. I've got that covered—part of my bonding plan is to instill all sorts of safe driving tips as we take turns driving.
The three of us went over the car maintenance schedule to ensure mishap-free late summer travel. David later joined us to show how to: engage and disengage the trailer's ball-and-hitch; ensure trailer lug nuts are tightened correctly and bearings are greased properly; install the trailer lights, connect safety chains from the trailer to our car. He discussed good driving tips for trailer hauling and what to do at every rest stop, such as safety inspections and checking car and trailer tire pressure.
A few more safe driving tips we talked about were:
• Use the side mirrors constantly
• Reduce speed gradually
• Keep a steady hand on the steering wheel
• Never slam the car brakes!
My daughter and I put our safe driving tips to use during some short practice runs across a few cities, from wide, traffic-jammed highways to thin, two-lane roads in the hills. We even took a drive during a rainstorm–something you don't really expect when driving during the summer! It got to the point where wild winds forced us to use every safe driving tip in the book.
With good driving tips under our belts and a car maintenance schedule list checked off, I'm looking forward to driving across five states, peppering our conversations with my mind's vast library of driving safety tips, with my baby at my side (yep, she'll always be my "Baby). Maybe this is how Dad felt when he, that V-8 station wagon and I were driving during the summer of ahem, late 1970-something, hauling my things to the dorm for my freshman year? I'll have to ask him, that is when I'm done cleaning up the mess I made in the garage!

Twelve people were taken to hospital after overdosing on the drug gamma hydroxybutyrate last week. Here, Mike, 26, gives an insider's view of GHB use in Melbourne's dance party scene. He told his story to Sushi Das.
I started experimenting with "G" with some friends and I've done it maybe 10 or 12 times. It's not advisable to drink alcohol with it because it will increase the drug's potency and make an overdose more likely. So it's just something you don't do if you're going to take G. It's really quite stupid.
The first time I did it, I was working in a bar and a friend of mine, who had had a previous experience with it, said: "We're going out tonight after we've finished work (which is about five or six in the morning) and then going clubbing. I've got some G — do you want to have some? But you can't drink all night." I said: "All right, cool." So we didn't drink all night and we had it at his house some time between 6 and 7am.
Then we sat around, smoked a
joint and went out to a club in the
morning. It was so funny walking into
the club. It was like walking on
marshmallows and very, er, not too
pathetic, more emotion . . . I'm
struggling for the right words.
It took about half an hour to take
effect. I'd been experimenting with
other party drugs for quite some time,
so I was not that alien to the concept
of the drug taking control of my body.
I wasn't scared. I mean the times I've taken it, it's always with somebody who's taken it before, so they can look after me if something goes wrong. They will know if I start to get a bad reaction, or I start to freak out, and they'll say: "Don't worry, it's OK, it happens; just relax and it'll go away." It's one thing to be putting things into your body when you don't know what they do, but it's another thing to do it an irresponsible way, as paradoxical as it may seem.
G is a liquid — they put food colour in it. The one that we had the first time was blue. It can be all different colours. It depends on who makes it. When you do G you start to feel a little bit disoriented. Your thoughts tend to skip and become a bit disjointed. You'll be talking about something and then you'll stop and think, "what was I talking about?". You're a bit vague but you don't really notice it until you get up and start to walk around. You get a bit of a head rush from standing up, and as your blood flow increases your heart starts pumping and your body will go, "oh hello!". You'll stagger a little, maybe be a bit wobbly on your feet. It's not a bad feeling; it's kind of a funny feeling. There are no hallucinations.
With any kind of drug that gives you a sense of euphoria — ecstasy or GBH or cocaine — you become more amorous. You can find people really attractive, and then you wake up the next morning and go "oh!". It's like beer goggles times 10, because when you're doing these drugs that give you a euphoric feeling, you tend to be able to speak a lot more easily. Like if you didn't have a lot of confidence with girls or guys, people tend to (take G and) go like: "Let's go and talk to this person." They're in a happy mood.
There's no crescendo. It's more that you start to not be feeling it as much as before. How you feel when you come down depends on what you've been doing. Like if you're going out and you take it before you go into the club, you'll probably dance. But people sit down and talk, just rabbit on about nothing to some guy they've never met before and you tell your life story. Or they get up and walk off and feel a bit lost after taking a drug like that. Lost, not in a bad way, but just aimlessly wandering, kind of "what next?".
Most drugs, like cocaine, are expensive but G's not. Sometimes it comes in a vial, other times it comes in one of those little plastic fish things which have soy sauce in them when you buy sushi. We paid about $35 a vial. A vial's about 3 millilitres. We'd do about 1.5 millilitres for the night but it depends on how much you were taking generally. You can have a little bit at a time. The 1.5 millilitres can last about two or three hours, depending on your body clock.
You drink it: generally you put something into it, some drink of some sort. You can put it in a shot glass. We did it in a syringe like an old doctor's syringe without a needle attachment on it. You can put it in a glass and then sip some water afterwards or whatever. It tastes fairly rancid. It's bitter, acrid, like chewing Panadol. Kind of eweh!
When people are on drugs like ecstasy and G they can be slightly verbose and they'll sometimes babble about it, but generally it's hard to see what people are on when you're out in a club. Generally with ecstasy their eyeballs are really dilated and they're chewing on a Chupa Chup or something.
Most people I know who experiment with drugs are pretty much out of it (the G scene). Like the going up is not really worth the coming down. On the whole, I don't think they have the time to spend three days in a nightclub. They get crabby, they get grouchy, mood swings; it's just not really a good thing to do anymore.
I think people go out, they take the drugs, they have a good night with their friends and the next time they go to go out they think, "well, that's nice, let's do it again". And then after a while they realise it's not the drugs, it's the people they're with.
Everything is easy to get hold of if you know a couple of connected people. If you know somebody who does pills or speed or something like that, generally if you talk to them, they will know some guy. And once you get to talk to that guy, that guy will know another guy. So it depends on how much contact you have with these people and how often you go to nightclubs.
The people who sell the drugs don't like to sell to people they don't know; obviously there's the dangers of undercover police but also they don't want to be dealing with people when they don't know how they're going to react. I was working in the nightclub industry and G was always around.
There's not a lot of things in my life I regret, but most likely I wouldn't do G again. Well, I mean I would if I was back with those friends and in a similar environment, which is not likely.
The last time I did G was about a year ago. I stopped taking it because I stopped associating with those people who were involved.
At the time when I was taking it, I wasn't 100 per cent sure what was in it. I'd been told by my friends what was in it, that was OK. I mean a lot of drugs I was taking I was fairly well educated on.
A lot of people don't know what they're doing. You get kids like the girl in Sydney who died of an overdose of ecstasy. They are not well-informed people — going out and doing things that are potentially dangerous without prior knowledge. If you're going to do it, do some research before, or get somebody who knows what they are talking about. That's my advice to people. I've met a few people who have been ill on it.
You feel a little blue coming down, not extremely. It's not so much the drug that you need to sleep off, it's the going out late and then staying up for hours and hours on end. I was working in a nightclub and then going out at six in the morning and coming home at two or three in the arvo the next day. Then you'll be going home after 48 hours when it starts to get dark. Like your body goes, "that's enough mate, no more", but more often than not, it's a bit of a mental deadness. Once you punch through the wall of tiredness, your body gets a second wind. But you never catch up on sleep you lose.
Towards the end of my partying career (laughs) I was feeling a little bit more remorse — more just my body going "what have you done to me? you're an idiot!". But no real remorse; it's not like when you wake up from a hangover and go "aargh! what did I do?".
Mike is not his real name. He is 26 years old and has a full-time job.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › actual cuben tent test
Apr 4, 2011 at 12:07 pm #1271699
We have a couple of days rain here so i thought i would stick my tent [.5oz material] out again ,see what happens. Lots of condensation this morning and some drops on the inside, so to distinguish between condensation and possible leaks i cleaned off the haze and left it for a while. I have a few leaks, which i will attribute to some errors in constuction,[ use of stickum and marking pens] which resulted in some heavy rubbing of some areas. In the photos below inside drops appear bright around the edges. However! all other areas are leak free after 24 hrs in the rain, there were no drips, instead all drops ran down to the edges. This material has been folded stuffed many times,
this is a shot of the leak free area;
Now an interesting discovery, i happen to be waterproofing the new skin of my ultralight kayak using Proform urethane clearcoat. As an experiment i brushed some on a piece of lightest cuben, heat dried it, seems to be a perfect match, cant't scape it off or wrinkle it off. Hmmm.Apr 5, 2011 at 10:13 am #1720302
"i happen to be waterproofing the new skin of my ultralight kayak"
I'd like to talk to you about this, because I happen to be building a Baidarka right now (with Corey Freedman from Spirit Lines and Skinboat.org)Apr 5, 2011 at 10:59 am #1720324
Tyson, fire away , though i might not be the best person to talk to as i am an experimeter, I end up with a boat for the very brave, although it suits my very modest kayaking ambitions.
Like i say i am using an automotive 2 part urethane clearcoat [Proform ,CDN, i think] have used their stuff on my car projects always with great success. Last year i tried multiple thin coats, this time its 3 heavy ones ,working great. For the bottom of the hull i found that Lepage polyurethane window sealant dissolved in acetone works great, tough as hell [ i test by rubbing a piece against a pointy rock].
I'm using 7oz polyester from Dyson's by the way, i suspect the nylon is tougher ,i poked a hole in it last year with just the clearcoat on the bottom, hence the Lepage this time. I also found it expands a bit then wet.Apr 5, 2011 at 2:57 pm #1720503
You guys have any recommendations for water-based urethanes?
Thanks for the Photos Ziff. We need to see more real world tests like this. Instrument testing is fine, but there needs to be a real world derivation for it to be meaningful. The Cuben that I am putting through crumple tests looks like yours and is doing fine also, although it is more a pack weight.Apr 5, 2011 at 3:06 pm #1720507

You have been playing with cuben for years, but have not brought anything to market. Is it just educational or do you see something you might use? I have some cuben gear, but do not have a lot confidence it its durability, and use it carefully. As a tarp, it was worked well.Apr 5, 2011 at 4:21 pm #1720550

Hi guys. I build canoes and was also thinking about a skin on frame boat. However, I rejected the Cuben material because neither varnish nor epoxy really sticks to it. As I understand it, it is primarily a HDPE materieal reinforced internally with PET fibers(dynema.) Neither of which bonds all that well with the plastics.Apr 5, 2011 at 4:31 pm #1720561
It's just a matter of time. I was too brutal on it in my first tests years ago. I'm fascinated by the fabric, and, as many people know, it makes pretty amazing tarps. There are still misunderstandings about it, which have led to this controversy. I look forward to whatever applications I will use it for. One of the biggest barriers for me has been learning to speak Cuben. I hated taking foreign languages in school!Apr 5, 2011 at 4:50 pm #1720575
I'll be using ballistic nylon, with a urethane coating, for my Baidarka… What wood(s) are you building your canoes with?Apr 5, 2011 at 7:01 pm #1720667
Tyson, my boat is carbon fiber tubes, as i say very experimental. I wanted something to pack into lakes and i wanted to see if weight would trump drag [ it didn't very much] as once on a trip someone with a very lightly packed boat was able to go like stink. One of the top spares snapped last year when i was practicing a paddle float rescue, it had all my weight plus the leverage of the paddle across it, BANG! So i reskinned it this winter , adding a reinforced filament wound tube at the break.
Dan,James , i think a rowing cat , something like the fishing ones could be made with bubblewrap/cuben floats, carbon frame. easy to carry, more stable than a kayak. Lots of $ though.Apr 5, 2011 at 7:05 pm #1720671
the way the tent has been outside in the rainnow for 2 days lots of rain off and on. After a certain point waterproof is just waterproof and further testing is pointless.Apr 6, 2011 at 7:11 pm #1721162
Lawson KlineBPL Member
made you look…haha
So Dan when are you going to make a cuben pack?Apr 6, 2011 at 8:23 pm #1721194
Who said anything about packs? HaHa. That reminds me though, I think I'll dig a couple out and see what they weigh. It was so long ago it seems.Apr 7, 2011 at 8:53 am #1721373
Hey Dan,
You may want to check out this.
Call Corey and talk to him.
Cheers.Apr 7, 2011 at 9:16 am #1721384
are beautifull boats, i'm too much a weight weeny.Apr 7, 2011 at 10:18 am #1721423
"i'm too much a weight weeny."
Sure, but for sea kayaking… it doesn't get much lighter than these! These babies are ocean worthy! I can't wait until mine is done… I've only completed the bow, stern, and gunnels…Apr 7, 2011 at 12:24 pm #1721500

James, I considered a cuben skin boat, also, but abandoned the idea a couple of years ago when evidence began to accumulate that the material has a pinhole problem. It's actually PE (UHMWPE) fibers between sheets of PET film, and polyester film fatigues with flexion. If you cut a piece out of a polyester water bottle, fold it, and flex it repeatedly along the fold, it will turn white and eventually fail at points along the fold. Not all plastics do this. This is the reason, I think, that Richard Nisley has observed leakage through aged (creased) cuben samples.
We can see in Richard's micrographs that the cuben reinforcement layer is full of bubbles between the fibers. At these points there is no interlaminar adhesive, only a tiny air space between the two sheets of film. After some crumpling, each sheet of film gets riddled with tiny fissures, and I think leaks occur when two pinholes occur over the same interlaminar air bubble.
These pinholes are too small to be important for shelters, in my opinion. I agree with those who have said that real-world performance matters more than hydrostatic head in this case. For shelter materials, since condensation usually occurs anyway, a small amount of leakage in no way compromises the function of the shelter. But we're never going to see a successful cuben packraft, canoe, kayak, or inflatable sleeping pad, I'm afraid.Apr 7, 2011 at 12:33 pm #1721504

I feel the same way.
What are you using for your skin? Also, what is your frame material? I'm always interested to see different designs/ideas, regarding SOF boats…Apr 7, 2011 at 12:41 pm #1721511
Thanks for that lead Tyson, it's much appreciated.Apr 7, 2011 at 12:51 pm #1721523

Colin KrusorBPL Member
@ckrusorLocale: Northwest US
Tyson, I actually never got very far along in that project. I originally had a plan to use wrapped s-glass composite tubing for the frame and cuben skin, and I modified that to coated nylon skin, but all of that, and many other things, fell by the wayside when I went to grad school.Apr 7, 2011 at 1:11 pm #1721537
Dan, no problem. Feel free to pick Corey's brain. He's been dealing with SOF boats for a long time. He's brilliant. He collects all his wood (yellow and red cedar) from the forests around here – usually stumps and fallen tress. He moved to Anacortes specifically for the wood. In his opinion, it's the best wood to use for SOF boats. He naturally ages and dries all his wood and cuts everything with the grains and ends up with phenomenal pieces of wood to work with. (He uses a bandsaw from 1905 to cut most his pieces) After everything is cut and sanded down to shape and size, he coats the wood with 100% limonene (imported from Florida) and 100% tung oil (imported from Brazil) blend. The entire frame is held together with artificial sinew (nylon) and bamboo pegs (cut to size from chopsticks) – that's it.
I'm getting a little crazy on describing everything he does, but I find it incredibly fascinating.
Full disclosure: I'm hooked.
Anyways, all that to say, he's set his mind to making some of the best Bairdarkas in the world, imho. I paddled one of his boats he made over 10 years ago… all original… no seat…sat directly on the floor…and it still paddled like a gem.Apr 7, 2011 at 4:12 pm #1721643

My dad built a bairdaka with Corey a couple years ago. Unbelievably cool boat. I hung out for a couple days that they were working on them (assume you're doing yours at the center for wooden boats???) and like you said, the simplicity is unreal.Apr 7, 2011 at 4:21 pm #1721651
I'm actually just building it at Corey's house in Anacortes (He has an spectacular workshop and it's nice to see all the stumps and raw wood he's using) My girlfriend and I are going up there on the weekends and staying in his tree house. It's nice because we can just stay in the workshop as late as we want and work on whatever we can or want to.
We are both building Baidarkas. My gunnels are 15' 8" which will put my boat length at 17' 10" and my girlfriend's gunnels are at 15' which puts her boat length at 17' 2". Once we finish our boats, we'll also be making Aleut paddles. Everything is absolutely superb. Great teacher, too.
How does your dad like his Baidarka? Is your dad using an Aleut paddle? Have you taken it out?Apr 7, 2011 at 4:38 pm #1721657
Brendan SwihartBPL Member
@brendansLocale: Fruita CO
yeah he did an Aleut paddle as well. I've taken out a couple times on lakes but nothing too serious. I'd love to build one sometime though and do more with it.Apr 7, 2011 at 7:04 pm #1721727
see how cuben would work as a boat skin, primarily because it doesn't stretch. Folding wear would never get to be an issue. On the other hand there might be a way to make bubble wrap floats with it, just a matter of finding a way to grip the supporting tubes.

3.4 The Top Fitness Foods to Stock Your Cabinets With…Making
Smart Choices Starts at the Grocery Store
In most of my newsletters, I like to provide a healthy snack or meal recipe that not
only is delicious, but also helps to get you closer to that hard-body appearance that
everyone is looking for. In this section, I'd like to give you healthy food ideas in a
different way. This time, I figured I'd just give you some ideas of what I stock my
kitchen with. Remember, if you don't have junk around the house, you're less likely
to eat junk. If all you have is healthy food around the house, you're forced to make
smart choices. Basically, it all starts with making smart choices and avoiding
temptations when you make your grocery store trip. Now these are just some of my
personal preferences, but perhaps they will give you some good ideas that you'll
Alright, so let's start with the fridge. Each week, I try to make sure I'm loaded up
with lots of varieties of fresh vegetables. During the growing season, I only get
local produce, but obviously in winter, I have to resort to the produce at the grocery
store. Most of the time, I make sure I have plenty of vegetables like zucchini,
onions, asparagus, fresh mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, red peppers, etc. to use in
my morning eggs. I also like to dice up some lean chicken or turkey sausage into
the eggs, along with some swiss, jack, or goat cheeses. Coconut milk is another
staple in my fridge. I like to use it to mix in with smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt for a
rich, creamy taste. Not only does coconut milk add a rich, creamy taste to lots of
dishes, but it's also full of healthy saturated fats. Yeah, you heard me...I said
healthy saturated fats! Healthy saturated fats like medium chain triglycerides,
specifically an MCT called lauric acid. If the idea of healthy saturated fats is foreign
to you, check out an eye-opening article at truthaboutabs.com called "The Truth
about Saturated Fats".

PPC - Pay-Per-Click Google AdWords Made Easy HTML version
Chapter 8: Bonus Chapter
Finding High Paying Adsense Keywords
With all the buzz and hype floating around the internet, many have heard it's possible to
make BIG bucks with the Google Adsense system.
While that is true... the truth of the matter is, most people aren't making big bucks. The
typical Adsense advertiser makes a whopping $1.00 a day. I don't know about you, but
$1.00 a day isn't really much to get excited about.
Today I'd like to focus on a couple strategies that I personally use to make A LOT of money
with the Google Adsense system. What's nice about this strategy is it's very easy to repeat,
over and over and over again in ANY market... at any time.
So, let's get started, shall we? :-)
For these examples below, I'm going to be using the help of the powerful tool I talked
about in the last chapter, called . If you don't have , that's ok.
Just pay attention to the general principles I teach below. You can manually do this stuff
without any software product, it just takes a bit more effort. It's the "idea" that's the
powerful point I want to teach, so pay close attention. This will make you more money.
That I can "nesarly" promise you.

Save the date: The New York Aquarium reopens on May 25
Huzzah! The Sandy-battered Coney Island attraction will open some of its exhibits following extensive repairs.
Fri Apr 5 2013
Photograph: Julie Larsen Maher
In February, the New York Aquarium announced that it would partially reopen this spring, following extensive renovations to repair the damage wrought by Hurricane Sandy. Today, the attraction confirmed a May 25 opening date. Yay! As we reported in February, only a few sections of the aquarium will be on view, including Glover's Reef and a brand-new sea lion show. But it's a wonderful step toward normalcy for the Coney Island institution, which was battered during Sandy.

Ambrose, Murphy feud fires up
Surfers Paradise

Ford's V8 supercar champion Marcos Ambrose is a driver under siege from his Holden adversaries, who yesterday vigorously criticised him following an extraordinary and ill-tempered 11th round of the touring car championship on the Gold Coast street circuit.
Ambrose cemented his grip on this year's title with a second behind Greg Murphy in the Kmart Racing Commodore. Todd Kelly, in the Holden Racing Team Commodore, was third in a round in which the title aspirations of three drivers - Kmart's Rick Kelly, Stone Brothers' Russell Ingall and PWR's Jason Bright - were dented by poor performances or crashes.
But any joy Ambrose might have been feeling after establishing a 166-point lead with two rounds of the championship remaining was short-lived and overshadowed by an unprecedented war of words that broke out between himself and Murphy at the post-race press conference.
Tensions that had been generated a day earlier (when Ambrose had clashed with Murphy's young teammate Rick Kelly in a pit-lane bust-up after the first of the round's two races) boiled over again as Murphy made it clear that he believed Ambrose was less than truthful in his recall of events.
On Saturday night, the Kmart Racing squad had fired in an official protest about Ambrose, alleging the defending champion had "brake-tested" Kelly and almost caused a serious accident as the pair crossed the finish line after race one.
Ambrose had won the heat, while Kelly, who was a lap down, had finished 21st.
But Kelly had angered Ambrose, who believed the Holden man had been driving on his bumper for the last third of the race and unfairly harassing him.
After the pair clashed in pit lane, Kelly accused Ambrose of swearing at him and threatening him and said that, contrary to Ambrose's claims, the Ford man had not slowed down to let him pass during the first race.
Ambrose was quizzed again after the second event yesterday over Kelly's allegations about brake-testing and making threats. He was quick to retort that he had done nothing, but Murphy was having none of it.
"I refute both of the claims totally and that's my stance right now," Ambrose said.
Murphy, who had finished second in Saturday's first race, immediately interjected and said: "I flew past you and I was off the throttle."
"You are allowed to slow down after the finish of a race," sniped back Ambrose. "We are fighting for the championship. It's getting pretty messy - if they want to play that way, (they can). I slowed down after the race. I totally refute the allegations that I brake-tested him. I had words with him after the race because I was upset about his sportsmanship during the race.
"Rick Kelly refused to pass. I was off the racing line, I slowed down on one lap by two seconds to let him pass. I braked at approximately half-pressure. It's a crazy discussion . . . It's an absolute joke the way that Greg (Murphy) carries on."
This fired up Murphy even more. The New Zealander insisted that Ambrose had done what Kelly had claimed and had brake-tested his teammate.
Later, Murphy said: "He's got this idea that we should just pull over and let him win. Now he's denying the whole thing. He used a lot of very foul language. I don't know what he's on about. Half-brake pressure - I don't know what he thinks he was doing. He's now denying it and trying to get away with it.
"It's finally time he realised that we are not there to drive around behind him. You talk about sportsmanship but I think he needs to have a look at the meaning of it . . . himself."
Ambrose's humour was not improved later when he was fined $10,000 for a careless driving charge. Stewards said he had failed to exercise reasonable care immediately after crossing the control line.
"I am bewildered with the decision. I had 30 metres over Rick as he went over the finish line and less than half the normal break pressure applied. A cone had lodged under my car and had affected the steering. I tried to let Rick past me several times but he refused. I'm a little disgruntled with the system."

Having owned an 02 zx3 that was replaced by an 07 zx3, I can say that the 05-07 are more reliable than their predecessors. That being said, any focus just isn't a focus without its quirks.
With the 02, there were a lot of kooky little issues - the ignition switch jamming, the underhood wiring harness igniting and causing the battery to explode (this killed the car at 72k miles in 07), and having a fair number of steering rack issues. (leaking, losing power assist, etc.) I loved the car, just felt that I got a bad example of the breed. (I did buy it in early 04 with 23k miles on it. When it died in 07, I bought another focus in the hopes that maybe it would be different this time. Mine had sat on the lot for six months when I bought it, and the problems were plentiful and stupid. The first year was absolute hell, then again, I had racked up nearly 50k miles within 18 months of buying the car - so that *may* have had something to do with it.
There's the whole hard start issue on manual transmission 05-07 foci. (Have been dealing with this since day one on the 07 - the software updates have done nothing) The alternator and battery gave out early on, was replaced under warranty (alternator) while I had to pay for the battery in 2008 with 35k on the clock. Nearly five years later, that battery and alternator are going strong and still testing as good with 98.5k on the clock. Mine has been in a few wrecks - so there have been some electrical gremlins that popped up as a result. The 5/100 bumper to bumper warranty saved my bacon when the body wiring harness released the smoke in the summer of 2011 with 68k on the clock. (would have been a $6500 repair, I got off easy with only having to pay the $100 deductible) The car has been pretty solid and dependable, repairing it is amazingly straightforward, and I would do it again. The combination of sporty feel, fuel economy, and sheer utility of the hatchback body style have earned my loyalty to these quirky little cars.
Of course, I have put a fair amount of miles on mine, used it for everything from pizza delivery (a job during the first period of unemployment in 08) to field service IT tech duty (averaged 2-3k miles a week) to commuting 50 miles a day to school, then work, and then doing salvage yard runs with it.
I'd recommend any 05-07 focus that has no signs of accident damage. The biggest issues I've had were due to accident damage that was overlooked during the repair process only to manifest itself a year later.

Superior football smarts and a non stop motor. Outstanding character. 2. Jason Fox, OT, Miami, 6'6", 315. The more I read about him, the better I like him. Got to get younger at OL and it starts here. 3. Tyson Alualu, DE, California, 6'3", 290. I believe we will lose either Hatcher or Spears. This kid is instant depth and could one day be a 3-4 DE stud. Nasty streak that gets nastier as the game goes on. 4. John Jerry, OG, Ole Miss, 6'6", 350. He is more a run blocker than a pass blocker, but he is the huge OG that Houck likes. 6. Myron Rolle, SS, Florida State, 6'2", 215. Known more for hsi brains than his brawn. He has incredible measurables but is a risk given how smart he is. Will he play football or become a Rhodes scholar? In the 6th round, I roll the dice on him. 7. John Estes, C, Hawaii, 6'2", 295. He is versatile, athletic, smart, and mean. The perfect mix for a Center. A team Captain and natural leader.

I bet he does too. Doesn't make it right or the best option when Toews is also on the team. I understand having Sid as Captain has more to do with identity then actual talent, he is the media and the NHL hand picked poster child for the sport. But chances are Toews will again be the better player just like last time.

Barry Melrose who benched Steven Stamko's and was subsequently fired maybe a little bit over a month later? He knows how to perfectly rock a mullet, better then I ever could, I give him that. But hockey? Nah.

And if Toews doesn't take over Team Canada in the gold medal game, chances are Sid doesn't even get into position to score the "golden goal". See, theres a lot of benefactors at play beyond looking at the stat sheet, many of which Toews, as a player, excels at. Bergeron is an elite two way forward. Its funny that he becomes that player after playing on the same line as Toews.

Trying to compare Lebron to Sid isn't fair to Sid. Lebron in his prime has won two titles, while Sid, in his prime, only has won one.Lebron has dominated the NBA while Sid has a couple awards to show for his carrer without flat out Lebron domination. Ovechkin would be a better comparison to Lebron, honestly, and OV isn't close to the player or winner Toews is.

And that's a great opinion to have, but until I see Kane PK'ing a shift or be considered defensively respectful in no way do I consider him on par with Toews, or Keith for that matter. To Kanes credit, he has been better this year in his own zone, but still likes to cherry pick his spots.
Originally Posted by

Team achievements and personal achievements can be very different. Legends like Marcel Dionne, Peter Stastny, Adam Oates, etc. retired with never having their name printed on Lord Stanley
So personal achievements trump the reason why they actually play the game? I never heard a kid, while playing pond hockey, say they wanted to win the Art Ross trophy, I heard then say they want to win the Cup. Marcel Dionne was fantastic, but he will always be nothing but a fantastic player in my book instead of a winner. Ill take a winner ever day and twice on sunday before dinner over somebody who is fantastic.2 Cups change your opinion drastically and thank the lord the team I root for, your Champion Blackhawks, feel the exact same way and nothing short of a Cup is now considered a failure. Once it sinks in, that frame of mind is hard to shake.
Originally Posted by

No, he is the better player because he is a winner. Sid isn't. Toews plays every facet of the game at an extremely high level beyond a stat sheet. Crysby nation points at his offensive production and says that's enough proof. Theres the impass and a telling sign as to what somebody deems more valuable to a team.Sid scores more and gets more trophies. Toews gets more Cups and is a beast every inch of ice. Toews has proven when the chips are down he will most certainly rise to the occasion and has done it thru out his career. Sid melted down last year like a stick of butter in the microwave over Chara.....Chara. The same Chara Toews made look stupid with a pass between his own legs to a waiting Bickell to feast on and turn Tukka into Chokka.
Originally Posted by

What talent? Offensive talent? Or the talent to lead a team and do whatever it takes to win a game? Sid has one, Toews has the other.

So wait, trying to debate is now considered, hot word,
because my opinion doesn't agree with everybody else? Having an open mind and seeing things as more important is now an internet cliché? Please, and I know its catchy and "cool" to use internet catch words but understand what, specifically a "troll" is is far more useful when you deem one as such considering that this is, realistically, a thread that
started. Its ok though. Its just a message board.

Well, considering we are talking two different time frames and that the Habs pretty much had a monopoly in signing young players, it could be, realistically said that the many Cup wins of those Canadian teams are some what tainted. I also, sadly, never saw Richard play, way before my time. But, talking right here in 2014, where the NHL has installed a salary cap restricting teams from paying for the best players and parity is at its highest its ever been, Toews is the best player in the NHL. Henri Richard really doesn't have anything to do with this conversation unless he puts on some skates, which isn't gonna happen, obviously. Sid VS Toews, now, that's the basis of debate.
Originally Posted by

A debate is the only reaction. If Sid is so great, how come theres only one Cup on his resume? If he is a "generational" talent, those types of talents, Gretzky,Mario, etc, have more then one Cup. Could he get another one? Maybe if Toews some how gets traded to Pittsburgh. but he has proven, while in his prime, no less, that he just cant put a team on his back and will them to the promise land. Toews did it three times already- twice with the Hawks and once for his country.
Debate? Yes?

After more than six years of playing catch up, lifetime PlayStation 3 sales have passed lifetime Xbox 360 sales to become the second bestselling home console for the seventh generation. According to VGChartz latest sales data the PlayStation 3 has sold 77,313,472 units to date, while the Xbox 360 has sold 77,311,669 units.
The PlayStation 3 first launched on November 11, 2006, nearly one year after the Xbox 360, which launched on November 22, 2005.
The gap was just over five million units when the PlayStation 3 launched, but it grew to more than eight million units as the PlayStation 3 struggled to take off when it first launched. However, after the first console redesign, price cuts and major software releases the PlayStation 3 started outselling the Xbox 360 on a weekly basis.
In 2010, the PlayStation 3 managed to catch up by 600,000 units and in 2011 by nearly 900,000 units. In 2012, the PlayStation 3 sold 12.73 million units, while the Xbox 360 managed to sell 11.10 million units. In just the first five months of 2013 the PlayStation 3 has outsold the Xbox 360 by one million units.
The Wii, the bestselling home console for the seventh generation, is 22.35 million units ahead of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However, the PlayStation 3 has caught up by 2.50 million units in just five months.

Career satisfaction and success don't just happen. They are the product of a process that people experience over time. The most recent Society of Human Resource Development (SHRM) job satisfaction survey indicates that 81% of US workers in 2013 reported overall satisfaction with their present employment, unchanged from the previous year.
That means that one in five of us state openly that they don't like what we're doing. While many careers will make the occupant utterly despondent, others stymie or limit the ability of the individual to achieve true satisfaction. People who haven't benefited from the services of a professional career counselor are left to their own devices and the results can be wide-ranging.
No one ever explains the warning signals of career dissatisfaction and failure or the corrective measures that can get you past these challenges. In other words, we learn every day of the things that will lead to sickness and death, but little about what may make our lives miserable. Increasingly, our nation is paying greater attention to mental wellness, but not sufficiently tying, in my estimation, that wellness to the workplace which is often the source of most of the difficulty.
The result is that too many make career errors of two varieties—the things we "do wrong" and the things we "don't do," both likely to have a significant impact on career satisfaction and our emotional well-being. Either form of error can produce harmful results.
Career development is a process that parallels human growth and development, a series of unique experiences that span childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood and the senior years. Our ability to understand what is happening or will happen can determine the degree to which we can guide or control (be proactive) or mend and fix (be reactive) what is occurring in our work lives.
Add to this the very important fact that our work-life influences our non-work life and the reasons for understanding career development grow in importance. Some counselors and psychologists point to the quest for work-life balance as a driving force among the millennials—those born in the last part of the 1900s and joining the workforce since 2000.
This same balance was not demanded by the Baby Boomers who were very loyal to their employer and willing to do most anything to advance their career. The Gen Xers and Gen Yers that followed began to alter worker attitudes and balancing life and work is today a driving force among the younger members of the workforce. Rather than work-life balance, I prefer to promote life-work balance by giving the larger portion of our existence a place of primary importance. Both are achievable, but attaining life goals includes achieving career and work goals.
As one passes through life, career development involves experiencing of a series of eight stages: self-awareness; exploration; goal-setting; decision-making; knowledge\skill acquisition and competency attainment; job orientation, entry and adjustment; growth, mobility, and maintenance; and finally, wind-down, adjustment and exit. Sounds complex I realize, but like most of our life transitions, each stage is manageable, if we know it is occurring. The problem is—most don't.
A major consideration about this series of career development stages is that they seldom occur in linear, one-stop-and-move-on fashion. They are often repeated as we recycle through our life experiences and discover more things about ourselves and the worlds (i.e., work, social, etc.) in which we live. As each individual ages and matures, they change and emerging characteristics (i.e., interests, achievements, values, etc.) complement our sense of self-awareness. The person who entered their career in their early twenties is not the person most will be when they reach thirty-something. And by the time winding down and retirement are getting close; they may not even be recognizable.
Beyond knowing that your life and career follow a series of stages, it's important to know career errors can be classified into identifiable behaviors—things we need to monitor and manage to ensure our personal needs are met. These errors are typically manifested in the following:
- You lack quality information
Never has the "you don't know what you don't know" axiom been more relevant than as it relates to career development. Satisfied and successful people are curious people, life-long learners—each seeking to understand how the world is changing around them, both inside and outside of the workplace. What are you doing to keep abreast of changes in your own work and what signals are your antenna picking up about the new careers of the future?
- You don't have good tools or practice good behaviors
Abe Lincoln is credited with saying that if he were given six hours to cut down a tree, he'd spend the first four sharpening his axe. How sharp are the tools (i.e., resume, cover letter, etc.) and strategies (i.e., job identification tactics, interview techniques, etc.) that you are going to use in the exploration and decision-making process? Do you know how social media can be used to facilitate job change and career mobility?
- You fail to learn from good and faulty decisions
Individuals make hundreds of educational and career decisions over the span of their lives. Some work fine—others are a disaster. Each, however, is a learning experience. In addition, any decision requires an investment in making it successful by the decision-maker. Are you making that investment or just crossing your fingers hoping for the best?
- Your timing is atrocious
Time is a constant—you can't control it—you can only control how you will use it. Choosing a career, finding a job, growing in one's career should be planned events. What have you done to prepare for, transition into and evaluate the career events of your life?
- You are unsuccessful at managing or controlling the career development process
Many fail to employ the proactive and reactive skills necessary first for job survival and then to facilitate career growth and mobility. If you don't want to be locked into the same position for the next decade, what steps are you taking to grow and advance? If your job were to suddenly disappear (i.e., downsizing, termination, etc.), how equipped are you to recover?
- You fail to use the people positioned to help you
Licensed and certified professional counselors in schools, colleges, government agencies, community service organizations and in private-practice environments are trained to help people navigate the myriad educational and career experiences across the life span. Competent recruiters and staffing professionals are present throughout working America who can help you learn about, apply for and find your first or future jobs. What have you done to utilize their services?
Errors will not disappear. The renowned scientist Albert Einstein said; "A person who never made a mistake—never tried anything new." Some of the errors you will make or have already made will be your best teachers. Learn from them! Career satisfaction and success, however, will have a better taste if you make fewer and know how to remedy those that you do.

National Bullying Prevention Month
The month of October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Although this month is coming to an end, we must continue the efforts on a national level to stand up to bullying. In recent years there have been a number of tragic cases involving young teens ending their lives after being the victims of senseless and cruel bullying and cyberbullying. Two recent bullycides, Jamey Rodemeyer from the U.S. and Jamie Hubley from Canada, have received international attention resulting in Lady Gaga pushing for a national anti-bullying law.
AsktheJudge was fortunate enough to interview a young teen who is not only a talented singer/songwriter, but is using her beautiful voice to spread the anti-bullying message to students in a number of states. Hayley Reardon is 14-years-old and while she performs in schools, she tells her own story and encourages students to find their own voice and take a stand against bullying. She is working with PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center.
Check out our interview with Hayley and hear her sing her anti-bullying song "Stand Together."

Be Aware of How Your Behavior Affects Others
When leading a group of people, large or small, you must have a clear understanding of how your actions will be perceived by the people who report to you. Cultivating your own self-awareness will increase your effectiveness as a leader, and the respect your team members have for you.
Take time out at the end of each day to think about how people have responded to you in the interactions you've had. Were they listening to what you said? Did they appear to be impatient with you? Did they go silent on you or back off? These behavioral cues tell you whether your leadership approach is respected or if it needs more work.
Identify what aspects of your communication and behavior have been perceived positively or negatively, based on the responses you had today. Then, solicit feedback from team members about the impact of your behavior by asking, "How am I coming across lately? Can you give me some feedback?"
You will know you have increased your self-awareness when you: •Make comments about your own behavior, such as: "I think I may be talking too much," or "I may have been a little abrupt with my response." •Accept and acknowledge feedback about your behavior without reacting defensively or justifying your behavior •Are willing to apologize when you recognize your behavior has been inappropriate •Ask for feedback when you think your behavior is being perceived as inappropriate
