Should I buy or Build my own
Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. I have had a distant desire to learn to sail and purchase a sailboat, I have looked at so many probable thousands on the internet from so many places. I started in the beginning to look at these 28 footers for being smaller and easier to keep up and less expenses. But I weigh 279 lbs and not a little guy. I don't understand why any sailboat you see has the smallest shower and smallest kitchen., I love to cook with a passion. I have drawn 3 different sets of plans for my desire of layout with a rather large kitchen and large shower. I haven't found a sailboat yet that has both unless you really get into some big money. I would love to travel the coast from fla to maine to Canada to Ireland and then to Europe and down thru the Danube. I have done alot of research but almost have my doubts about what is the true size of sailboat to have. the best I have come across is Bruce Roberts 45footer by 14.5 or 15.5 wide. I thought in the beginning that a mucltichine would be best. I have read so much now that I begin to get confused on really what to do. It seems so many people have their own thinking on what is best. I'm 52 right now and wonder should I even try to build one and not just buy one and settle for what I can find. I just don't want to do that. I have always been a person of trying to save a dollar and think as long as I lknow what I'm doing and have the right knowledge I can do better. I just want to be safe and enjoy life somewhat. I"m going to sell my house and motorhome and figure out what to do here. I love Europe but wonder I have had so many people tell me you have to be so careful ot the thieves and pirates. Cant you tote a weapon on board a sailboat. I don't see why not. You have to have some kind of protection. The biggest thing that confuses me about building a sailboat is all the curves and not straight lines. I have built a house, sheds, garages etc. But the angle of Sailboats I have never tried to do and don't like the idea of wasting money and would love to find the right person that can tell me or show me how can so many people say it is so easy to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My sailboat would consist of just 2 of us unless I can convince my daughter and grandson to venture off with us sometimes. I also don't care about all the sailboats having such a large living couch area so to speak. But again I have my own plan layed out and concerned with the weight balances as well as where certain things should be layed out for safety and ease of this and that. Your help is greatly appreciated in this matter. I live in Winter Haven, Fla anyone that lives close enough to see where I can see what you are building just for some knowledge would be fantastic
Lots of questions
Some answers
Small shower - Conserve water
Small galley - safer, you can wedge your self in.
Guns - don't even ask (do a search in the forums) :eek:
Size of boat - quality matters more than size.
I would suggest sailing on several different styles of boats before buying or building.
I sense you have not sailed much - get some training and experience.
Yes I am new to this. but I had the oppurtunity to ride on one with my girlfreinds fathers friend 45footer we had a blast it was super but don't like the little kitchen or shower. We spent the weekend on it out of clearwater. It was the best. We even had dolphins sailing beside us. Of course she loves them and I do to. I love all animals regardless. I wouldn't mind not conserving the water for a bigger shower. I don't understand why you stated safer so you can wedge yourself in. Why? ON guns why you said don't even ask. I have no problem with having quality, I would rather have quality anyway. I have always been that way. I just don't see how come just because it says marine it all has to be so expensive. Some of it is outrageiously pricedYes lots of questions, No I haven't sailed much. I haven't sailed ever except for riding on one. It was great. I have traveled over 3 million miles in atruck over the road and even drove over seas in Germany. I love to travel but now want to do it by a sailboat and venture off and all down the coast around the U.S. and would love to go to Europe that way. It would be an experience of a lifetime. Of course I plan on taking some classes and been reading on this and that. But the speed don't mean as much to me as having adequate room for my likings. I do appreciate your help tho. Thank You
Buy Hal Roth's book, "How To Sail Around The World", read it from cover to cover twice, then if you don't have the answers to your questions keep checking in and you will get lots of help here. Jackdale is giving you sound advice but I can see you are wondering why he gave the answers he did. It is probably difficult for you to understand if your starting from scratch. There are seriously legitimate reasons for a small galley and head/shower when in rough water. I hope you pursue your passions but you must learn to crawl before you can walk so to speak. Maybe someone can recommend better books but I learned a lot from it.
I will do that and take your advice. I will get the book and read it twice, But I would hate to give up my comfort for the rough sea. What is wrong with having an ample size kitchen, and a bigger than normal size shower. I don't like a shower curtain or something touching me while I'm taking a shower. I'm a big broaded guy too. I will take all the advice in and will hopefully be able take off some extra weekends and visit the sailboat community and talk with them as well where they hang out. Hopefully at the local hangout resturant or bar or even try to talk some people at the docks where they have their boats docked. I don't have a problem learning to crawl before I sail or walk so to speak either. I will pursue my passion of dreams. I have a buyer now trying to buy the house I have in Montana. I would rather sell the one I have here and live in my motorhome and sell the motorhome second to the house and then buy my boat or build it one. I"m seriously considering building my own. I just wish I had a lot of people that have locally or somewhere close that has built a bruce roberts design or built one period. I see the heavier the better for the rough seas. so that makes me want to go with steel. I can weld too. Aluminum would be nice but no where as heavy. I just have alot to learn about buildijng and that is why I have been reading all the books I can read from the library as well. I can do fiberglass too. I have helped a friend in the boat business for many years but only local fresh water boats nothing ocean wise other than we done a floor in a 38 foot open boat. That was easy to do. I appreciate your help
Two possible types might suit your needs. A big multi hull has the volume you crave.The other is Spray types,usually by Bruce Roberts Both types are available for charter so you can gain some experience sailing while figuring what modifications are needed or even possible at what cost. What ever, try some really nasty action on the fore deck in the dark before you sell the farm. As for building your own, don't worry about the curves. If the world is round, how can anything be square?
I don't think I want a multi-hull. If I have a 14.5 or a 15.5 beam and 45 feet in length. I can be very satisfied. I think according to the plan I can be satisfied with 41footer aswell. But nothing smaller than 39footer by no means. I want to fish heavily off the boat as well. I fish locally and love to fish. Many years of my life been fishing many nights and cathing many fish. I love it and love it as much as cooking. The Spray type is what I have been looking at by Bruce Roberts anyway.I just don't understand the difference between a spray and a regular sailboat. What is the difference? I will have a wind generator, solar panels, and solar hot water. I have them on my motorhome and love it. all you need is the batteries for the panels, I have a 2000 watt inverter on my motorhome. I have everything 12 volt and gas. I prefer gas for cooking and heat. That is what I have in my home too. Propane, LPG. and at home have solar water heater, works great from the sun. So your telling me to do some nasty sailing at night first. I know there is not always good you have to take the bad and the good at the same time. Have no problem with that. As long as I have an experienced person on board to instruct me and teach me not a problem. Don't get me wrong I don't want to die out there or nothing like that. I want to be safe all the way by all accounts. I know how to conserve water as well too. I have done a lot of hunting in the wilderness and taken many showers in the ruff from my bucket collecting water with a shower head at bottom. I made that and it works good. You get wet. Turn it off, soap up and get the soap off and that is it. I"m a tight wad at heart when it comes to conserving but I am not going to do with out unless the hardship persists for some reason or another.
I met a very energetic guy who did the Bruce Roberts thing and it took him 8 years of his spare time. He did a beautiful job. All I was saying was do as much research as possible, get on as many different boats as possible, experience every condition possible when you can and I would be surprised if some of your expectations or wants didn't change a bit. I love your enthusiasm as it reminds me of me! Myself? I still want a Gozzard. :)
It seems you have good skill set to build on.
When you are cooking at sea in a monohull you want minimal pace in a gallery so that you can be more stable. You also need a galley harness to hold you in place. If you like big galleys, I would agree with Len that a multi-hull is a better option.
Marine quality stainless is expensive and there will be a a lot on board. Poorer quality stainless will simply corrode - that is not good. Marine electronics need to survive is a salty environment.
Showering on deck is another option. I have done that often. The showers and head is usually combined. Offshore you really do want a head in which you are not going to get thrown around. I have also spent passages on which I simple washed myself off with a face cloth. You are describing a "navy shower" which is standard fare on boats with a good water supply; they usually have watermakers, on which you cannot depend 100%.
The guns on boats issues has lead to some of the worst discussions on this and other forums. Very little of the rest of the world is in line with American thinking of self-defense.
Len is telling you to get some serious experience before you follow your dream. For too many people jump in and discover that the life is not for them. It really is not as romantic as the movies make. Offshore sailing sailing is best described as long periods of tedium punctuated by episodes of terror.
I really would suggest some lessons first. Then charter some boats that have designs similar to what you might like. Go to some boat shows and walk the docks.
Like Well I can't let it take me 8 years. I want to do this and build it in 3 years or less if at all possible. I didn't take anything you said the wrong way. Your right I do need to get on as many boats as possible but I have never gave in when it comes to my comfort. I built my house the way I wanted it done. Just about the whole world and every builder who builds houses or builds cabinets builds them at 36 inces. To me that is crazy. I built mine 40inches high. Why is because if you have any back problems at all it is super hard on the back to strain and bend over humped if you will to wash dishes. My cabinets, shelves in my garage everything is 40 inches high. It is so easy on the back and any woman that has lived with me agrees 100%. Another thing is put or build all your receptapcles 18inches high off the floor and save your back too. Or stand staight up and hang your arm down and act like your plugging in your your plug and see where it will be. Another thing is have your seats where you sit 17 inches offf the floor. Mine are because from the floor to the bend of my knees is 17 inches. So I figured thousand of hours already even if I never build a sailboat how I would do it. And to have storage under every seat or cabinet and to have access in the floor everywhere it is open to walk on. I even went as far as to center my walkways around everything so all my tanks are in the middle for balance and even the tanks on the side of each side for equal balance. I"m a go getter for sure. I have even held down 2 jobs most of the time just to save money for want I want in life. Thatis how I bought my house here, the one in Montana, and the one in Virginia, and my motorhome. I done without a lot to make all that happen believe me. Anything is possible in this world for sure. I have had some people wonder how in the world I can have what i have but I did it all legit and legal. by working hard. I don't smoke, or throw my money away either. Plus I buy and sell stuff like racing parts and fix and sell cars. I like staying busy. I got oout of racing because it can take all your money and eat it up quite easily if you allow it. Now i just go and watch. What is a Gozzard. I have no clue. No I don't even drink now on the cruises I have been on yes I will drink then. I have never believed in drinking and driving. that is not the thing to do. So what kind of boat do you have. did you buy it or build it. I love doing things for my own accomplishment. I love good taste and craftmenship. I love how things are built. I love wood. but in a boat I don't really know what is best yet other than the steel for weight and balance. I love the wood boats any day but I'm getting older and want something that is easy on me to keep up with, and stay comfortable, to fish and dive with. The diving thing I haven't tried yet but will for sure. Appreciate your time.

Thank you! We both thank you!
Thank you! We both thank you!
David and Anthony, your vests will ship today. Please check your in box for your tracking numbers. Titan Fett and Skaught, your vests should ship by no later than the end of this week. To all, thank you all for your support. My Aunt is fighting hard against the diagnosis that she was handed last Saturday. She seems to be ok for now, but it is obvious that this is going to be a long hard battle, one that most loose. Please continue to pray for her/ or have positive thoughts in that direction. It would be much appreciated. For those of you who may be wondering, I am still doing these vests, and it has become a great love for me... so if your still interested, please send me a pm and I will respond as soon as possible.
Hey Mark,
Since I'm not a prayin' kind of guy, I would like to offer your Aunt, that I will be hoping for her, and she will be in my thoughts.
I hope you guys are okay. We're here for ya if you need us.
Thx for the update! Best wishes to your aunt.
Thanks Anthony and Mike, it is appreciated.
Thanks, bro. God bless and prayers for your aunt.
Thanks Scott!
Thx Mark, the vest arrived today
Very cool Anthony.
My vest arrived on Monday. I couldn't be more happier with the fit, look and price!
Great job.
I'm glad to hear that! Just so every one knows, I'm also doing spats and neckseals as well.
Got my vest today and it fits great. Usually things like this end up too tight, but this was dead on. Thanks Mark!
DarthCarcinus, excuses I forgot, I am interested, but I need to know the color of the vest and the cost of ship until here, Buenos Aires - Argentina!!!!!!!!!
Hi Leo,
Thanks for the kind words. Our internet at home is down today. I am not sure when we will be back up, so that Mark can respond. The fabric used for the vest is considered the most screen accurate available. We use the greyish tackle twill purchased from Webster Fabric.
I am not sure about costs to Argentina. We will look into it and get back to you.
Are you guys still making the vests? How much and where do I get my measurements?
PM Sent Mike. Thanks!
Ok guys, my sewing calendar is now clear and I am ready to take orders. Price is the same, no change. 50.00 shipped in the United States. Outside the US, add shipping.
I would be interested in this as well as possibly a ROTJ jumpsuit if you could let me know I would be greatly appreciated. Any questions feel free to contact me.
are you still doing these?
Ok ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank those of you who have ordered vests and neckseals from me. Now I need to talk about something that's close to my heart. Every year the american cancer society hosts the relay for life
Every year 1 in 16 women will be diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I know that one 1 in 16 woman. She is some one I've loved since my childhood.
This year, I am walking for my Aunt who is dying of cancer. She has stage 4 (end stage) non small cell lymphoma of the lungs with metastasis to the brain, and liver. We are not expecting her to survive the year.
I know that the economy is horrible, but if you could find it in your heart to donate even a small amount to this worthy cause, I would so appreciate it.
Thank you all.

Hosni Mubarak
AppealLadies, imagine bringing a man home from the bar, not because he was top of the line, but because he was the only option available. Then imagine said man hanging around your apartment, sleeping in your bed, eating your Cheerios, and using your toilet long after he climaxed (whether or not you climaxed is up for debate). Then multiply that skin-crawling feeling by a kagillion, and that's how many Egyptians feel about Hosni Mubarak. With a term approaching 30 years, the decrepit president's time has come to step down. Or in other words, pick your pants up off that hardwood floor, take the fake number and don't hit yourself on the way out.
SuccessJust because Hosni Mubarak has single-handedly driven his country to the brink of anarchy doesn't mean that the former air force commander didn't accomplish anything positive en route to this current breaking point. Upon seizing the presidency after his predecessor Anwar el-Sadat's assassination, Mubarak pledged to preserve stability in Egypt. Throughout his presidency, Mubarak maintained a healthy relationship with Israel, even meeting with Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres in 1986. One year later, Mubarak won his second term as president and spoke of an Egyptian renaissance to tackle the country's myriad problems. After creating a regional financial market with four neighboring countries, Mubarak was elected to his third term and continued to thaw his country's relationship with Israel, despite several attempts on his life, including one by a lone gunman after Mubarak oversaw the signing of a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine. Unfortunately, as economic and social conditions in Egypt -- especially for the working class -- continued to deteriorate, and with Mubarak's time in office approaching dictatorial levels, civil unrest continued to simmer, especially after the president announced that he would remain in office until his death.
Hosni Mubarak Biography
Hosni Mubarak was born on May 4, 1928 in Kafr-El-Meselha, Egypt. After graduating from high school, Mubarak joined the Egyptian military academy and earned his bachelor's degree in military sciences when he was only 21 years old. Just one year later, Mubarak became a pilot officer in the Egyptian air academy, and he went on to earn his second bachelor's degree, this time in aviation sciences. This set the stage for a career in the air force that would shape Mubarak as a man -- a career that included two years on a Spitfire squadron, a tour as an instructor, and further training in the Soviet Union. By 1967, Mubarak had climbed the ranks to become the director of the air force academy. In 1972, Mubarak reached the pinnacle of his military career when he was named chief commander of the air force and deputy minister of defense.
Hosni Mubarak Is Appointed Vice President Of Egypt
Hosni Mubarak's swift ascension through Egypt's political ranks continued in 1975 when former president Anwar el-Sadat appointed Mubarak vice president. Throughout his tenure, Mubarak proved to be Sadat's greatest supporter, taking up his cause of finding peace with Israel and attending important meetings with foreign leaders. It was clear that Mubarak was to be an essential part of the Egyptian government for a long time. Just how essential -- and how soon -- not even Mubarak himself could have guessed.
Hosni Mubarak Becomes President Of Egypt
Many believed it was only a matter of time before Anwar el-Sadat's controversial stance on Israel would lead to the fall of his presidency, but no one predicted the vicious way in which he was dispatched. While at a military parade in Cairo, Islamist gunmen who opposed peace with Israel opened fire on the group of dignitaries, killing Sadat. As a result, Mubarak became the fourth president of Egypt after winning a national referendum and pledged to respect its treaties and international commitments while preserving stability in the homeland.
Hosni Mubarak And The Road To Revolution
The scenes emanating from today's Egypt are tragic. Cairo, once one of the world's foremost tourist destinations, has gone from a place of peaceful protest to one of bloody revolution in mere days. According to most onlookers, President Hosni Mubarak and his refusal to step down are to blame. But how did it come to this? Surely things weren't always this bad, were they? Believe it or not, throughout his 30-year term, Mubarak did manage to accomplish some good, despite his increasingly autocratic rule.
In 1982, Mubarak oversaw the return of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, one of the major provisions from the peace treaty that his country signed with Israel three years earlier. In 1988, Mubarak was elected to his second term as president, and just one year later, had Egypt re-admitted to the Arab League, after being suspended over Sadat's decade-old peace treaty with Israel. That same year, Mubarak teamed up with leaders from Iraq, Jordan and Yemen to create a regional financial market known as the Arab Cooperation Council. A decade later, Mubarak oversaw the peace agreement in Sharm el-Sheikh, where Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak signed a hard-fought peace agreement on Israeli soil.
Hosni Mubarak And Growing Civil Unrest
Despite the headway made by Hosni Mubarak to achieve peace in the Middle East -- which also helped strengthen his bond with the United States and his reputation as an international statesman -- civil unrest continued to fester at home, as the economy grew increasingly worse under his regime. Throughout his reign, Mubarak survived a staggering six attempts on his life, most notably in 1995 after his arrival in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, when his limousine came under attack. But Mubarak quickly became known as the consummate survivor, with no one able to unseat Mubarak from his post atop the political food chain.
Make no mistake, despite recent pledges to encourage democracy in Egypt, Mubarak has continued to rule as a quasi-military leader since taking power. Under emergency law, the Mubarak government has maintained overwhelming powers of arrest and the ability to deny basic freedoms to whomever it sees fit. The president has had a tendency to squash political opponents as well. Although his first three election wins went virtually unopposed, Mubarak's Draconian rule reached new heights during the 2005 election, which saw massive vote rigging, media censorship and control, and even the imprisonment of opposition candidate Ayman Nour, after the Ghad (which "tomorrow" in Arabic) party leader openly contested the election results. Despite the emergence of several more opposition parties -- including the Muslim Brotherhood -- Mubarak continued his stubborn ways, and in 2006 announced that he would retain his role as president for the rest of his life. By this point, it was clear that what Egypt had on their hands was not a democratic government but a full-blown dictatorship.
Hosni Mubarak And The Last Straw
It's been no secret that Hosni Mubarak had been grooming his son, investment banker Gamal Mubarak, to succeed him, ensuring the sort of dynastic rule common in most dictatorships. Well, guess what? Egyptians had had enough of living in what had essentially become a police state. As January came to a close, the Egyptian people decided to do something about it. Thanks in part to the recent uprising in Tunisia, Egyptians took to the streets in peaceful protest. What was at first a niche group of young, middle-class social-media buffs quickly spread to all classes, particularly the lower class, who were tired of living off as little as $1 a day.
Despite overwhelming pressure from foreign leaders and from his own people, Mubarak stubbornly refused to step down. On February 1st, due in part to Obama's urging, Mubarak announced that he would not seek reelection in the fall -- a small victory for protesters, but not nearly enough. Instead, Mubarak did his best to clog the flow of information from his country by shutting down the internet and enforcing nationwide media blackouts. But images of the protests still surfaced, and what we saw in recent days was disturbing. After a week of relatively peaceful protests, Mubarak's supporters -- who some believe were paid off by the president himself -- clashed with protesters, riding in on camels and horseback, and violently attacking civilians. By that point, police and army presence in Cairo was next to invisible, foreigners of every ilk were being urged to leave and Mubarak was showing more resolve than ever. Clearly, this won't end well.

Quotation marks are often confusing to ESL writers unfamiliar with English grammar and punctuation rules. When to use double or single quotation marks is even trickier. However, there's no need to be embarrassed—these upside down commas sometimes confuse even the most seasoned English writers!
Quotation Marks Podcast: How to Format Quotation Marks
There is actually a lot to consider when using quotation marks, including when to use single or double quotation marks and how to format a quote within a quote. These questions, among others, are answered in this podcast.

M S Gony – who sounds much like the glamorous M S Dhoni, played a pivotal role in the Punjab victory against the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders.
First it was his Dhoni-style batting that lifted the lackluster Punjab batting to a respectable total.
When Punjab lost David Miller at the end of the 16th over, they were hopelessly placed at 109/7.
However, the entire complexion of the match changed once Gony stepped in.
A number eight batsman – Gony, hit three sixes in his innings.
None of the top or middle order batsman had hit any six until then.
Sunil Narine, who took a hat-trick for Kolkata had conceded only 10 runs from his three overs.
But once Gony went berserk, the equation changed entirely.
Narine was hit for 23 runs – the costliest by him so far in a match where he picked up a hat-trick.
In the bowling department too Gony proved himself.
He bowled 4 over's and conceded just 18 runs and picked up a wicket too.

X Games SnoCross Rating:
If you've grown up in part of the world where snow is some kind of nebulous and foreign concept, the idea of a snowmobile racing game may seem a bit far-fetched. Snowmobile? What's a snowmobile? Having grown up in Canada though, the concept behind X Game SnoCross by 2XL Games is interesting and engaging. Even if you haven't touched snow at all in your life, I'm confident you'll feel the same way.
X Games SnoCross is based on the popular Winter X Games franchise televised and owned by ESPN. The game offers a rich, immersive environment. The 3D graphics are true and lifelike. You'll really believe you're out there on the course, cutting through the snow on your machine at full tilt. The soundtrack and in-game sound effects will take you there as well. The immersion is complete in this game and you'll appreciate how it enhances the game. It is similar in many game elements to other iPhone off road and racing games so even if you haven't seen a snowmobile in your life you can just think of it as a racing game on a unique racing platform. Indeed, you shouldn't exclude yourself X Games SnoCross just because you aren't familiar with winter sports.
Game controls are a nice combination of tilt control and virtual buttons. I've mentioned in previous reviews that I haven't been a big fan tilt control games in the past. I've increasingly found myself won over by tilt control games though. In X Games SnoCross your snowmobile steering is controlled by the tilting action. I think the refinement in this game that made the steering action tolerable was the ability to adjust the sensitivity. I know this seems like a small thing but a lot games make you conform to their control scheme instead of letting you adjust it. I like to customize my controls so I appreciate little extras like that. Rounding out the controls is a virtual acceleration button on the lower left hand corner of the screen and three trick buttons on either side of screen. This is the X Games so tricks are a must. Use trick buttons by themselves or in combination while airborne to pull off some nice maneuvers.
X Games SnoCross offers a great selection of game play options. For the solo rider, there are Arcade and Career modes. As the name suggests, Arcade mode is for a standalone, single game. Each game played in Arcade mode is further subdivided into a Time Trial, Practice, or Race and at either an Amateur, Semi Pro, or Pro difficulty setting. Career mode is also rather self-explanatory. You start at the first race as a rookie and work your way through the ranks, unlocking races along the way. Go for glory and ultimate victory as you seek to become the next SnoCross champion! In addition to these great single play modes, SnoCross also offers either WiFi or Bluetooth multiplayer. When you find the CPU getting predictable and beatable, invite your friends along for the ride.
X Games SnoCross is a solid game. It even offers a local achievement system in addition to access to the 2XL Live global high score and achievement system. Test your high scores and achievements against other players for another avenue of competition.
If you like racing games then X Games SnoCross should definitely be in your repertoire. Its fast, edge of your seat fun that will keep you coming back for more.
The Good:
- Rich, immersive environment
- Easy and customizable control scheme
- Local and global achievements
The Not So Good:
- I'll get back to you on that, I'm still looking

Sighthill Solstice
June 29, 2010 by localnews
by Lynsay Keough, photos Stuart Maxwell
A local amateur astronomer, Duncan Lunan, held an illustrated talk recently at St. Aloysius Church on his work constructing a stone circle in Sighthill Park. The talk, on 21 June, the summer solstice, was followed by a walk to the circle to watch the sun go down.
Duncan organised the construction of the stone circle over 30 years ago, when he was manager of the Glasgow Parks department's astronomy project. The project's goal was to accurately mirror the rise and fall of the sun and moon over the city. However, due to funding cuts at the time, four stones were left unplaced. Duncan now hopes to secure funding due to renewed interest. He explained: 'Two stones were planned to be due east and west, marking the sunrise and sunset at the equinoxes. What we would like to do with the other two is put a plaque on them to explain why they are there, who built the circle and who it is dedicated to.' He would also like to restore the original work and put in a path for wheelchair access.
The circle was built in honour of four Glasgow University academics who promoted the understanding of megalithic astronomy: Professor Archie Roy, Dr Ewan McKay, Professor Alexander Thom and his son, Dr Archie Thom. The cost of the new work to complete the project, is estimated at around £30,000.

Ok I have 96 Astro conversion Van with 4.3L vortec RWD that i'm having problems getting started.
Back Story:
About 2 years ago I had a problem starting the van after rains so I figured it needed a tuneup since I didn't know how long it had been since the last one cause I only had it a year. After the tune up it worked great up until 2 months ago when I started having issues with it starting and it didn't matter wet or dry at this point. It would crank over and take a few seconds to start then it would run fine all day no problems starting it at all. If I would leave it parked for a few days or longer this would occur. Once it was running ran like a champ started no problem on long trips or short ones. Only thing I have ever done to this van is tune up, oil changes, & intake gasket/water pump(last year) other then that I believe all parts are original. Van now has 131k miles on it.
Problem now:
About 2 weeks ago I went out to start it and had some issue getting it started But, after a minute or so it started. I let it run for about 30-40 seconds and had to run back in the house so I shut it off (Needed the house key). When I came back out a few minutes later and tried to start it engine would crank over But, Not start at all. After many attempts all I did was drain the battery. Had a friend who is a mechanic come look at it with his computer and fuel gauge. He brought a used coil, cap, & rotor as I told him what happen before with it. coil checked ok was giving spark. Changed the cap and rotor and got it running. No codes were given at this time and fuel pressure would drop off slightly when turned off But, would start right back up again. We put a new cap & rotor in figuring we solved the issue. The next day I go out to start the van and nothing again just cranks over and no start. Buddy comes back over and again no codes, bright spark, & pump turns on and primes(at least sounds like it does). He plays with the rotor and notices it's got some play in it but not bad. Put it all back together and we get it started again. He checked the fuel pressure again and it would drop off slightly after shut down so he took it for a ride and the pressure stayed strong the whole time. Bring it back to the house and pressure stays up. I went out 5 times yesterday to start it after he left and first try no problem fired right up. I go out today and it won't start again. Tried the key on key off to prime the rail to see if that worked and nothing wont start just cranks over. Any ideas? Fuel pump? Dist? Anyone had this problem before?
After it gets started it runs great no noises dings clicks nothing. It's just getting it to start. HELP!!

It's All About the Poetry, Bro
Hialeah haikus. Chew on that idea for a moment. And before you commit harakiri at the thought of the pairing, just focus on the words, short and purposefully constructed to elicit a strong visceral reaction. Isn't that the essence of a haiku? You know, it makes sense in a Hialeah kind of way. Even so, the title is about as unlikely a name for any book ever presented at Books & Books, and that's a long history. But as you'll hear when the authors, Alex Fumero and Marco Ramirez, speak at the Gables bookstore this Wednesday night, it's pure Miami:
I hate Abuela. Why she gotta call my girl, "La Tira-flecha."
As you might guess, Hialeah Haikus was born by accident, with writers-actors Fumero and Ramirez playing around in character. "Most of it started in jest with Marco and I sending funny text messages to each other," Fumero says. "But when we invited some of our friends who were strong writers to participate, they started producing poems that weren't so farcical."
Right away, the collaborators recognized they had stumbled onto something of note and decided to print a book. They sold out the first 300 in about a month and the next 1,000 soon after. It was a runaway hit, at least by Miami literary standards.
The Books & Books event marks the official release of the second edition, which the authors guarantee will be typo-free. The founder of the University of Wynwood, P. Scott Cunningham, will serve as moderator, and he's slated to ask a bunch of poignant questions, which Fumero promises will be answered poorly.

Herbert and Denise 's Wedding
"Ceremony was in the garden at the Merighi's Savoy Inn, besides us getting married on the hottest day of the year, it went by without a problem. The garden was well taken care of and the services from the Savoy even brought out the wedding party cold water and ice cold towels to cool off. It was that service that was worth it."

"The reception was awsome, Tom made everything good smooth and like clock work. The food was good from start to finish"

Myth-Buster: "I can't breast feed with silicone implants"
Dr. K. Roxanne Grawe's answer:
While there is no real way of knowing if placing breast implants affects a mother's ability to breast feed (ie: it's hard to know if the individual would have been able to breast feed without the implants) we do know that breast ducts are not disrupted if the implants are placed under the muscle (pectoralis major). This is the most common way implants are placed currently – because this location lends itself to more natural looking results and a decreased risk of capsular contracture (bad scar tissue formed around the implants).
Having silicone implants (or saline, for that matter) and breast feeding does not negatively affect you or the new baby. In fact, studies on the older generation implants (where the silicone was thinner and would "bleed" out into the body's tissues) show that the amount of silicone found in breast milk of mothers with silicone implants was less than is found in all major brands of formula!
So, for those of you thinking about breast augmentation but not knowing when you may want to start a family – rest assured that your decision to have a well proportioned body and love what you look like in dresses and bathing-suits… is not harmful to you or your future children!

Lefrancois, Dibella Impress on PCA Day 2, $1.8 Million for First
The last handful of players trickled into the tournament room on Day 2 of the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure to bump the overall prizepool up to $10 million with $1.8 million for first place.
In the end a total of 1,031 players registered for the 2014 PCA, which is up slightly from the 2013 PCA, with 151 places paying out.
It's a significant increase considering the so-called Polar Vortex affecting much of the Midwest and East coast disrupted numerous flights to the Bahamas this year.

Some of the other players to exit the tournament included Jennifer Tilly, Isaac Haxton, Aaron Jones, Dan O'Brien Justin Bonomo, Robert Mizrachi, Jake Cody, Dominik Nitsche, Philipp Gruissem and Mohsin Charania.
One Tree Hill actor Paul Johansson was also relegated to the rail. He won his way into the tournament in charity tournament hosted by the late James Gandolfini.
While some stars fell others burned brighter than ever.
Pascal Lefrancois looks to have grabbed the chip lead with over 400,000 chips. John Dibella, who won the 2012 PCA, looks to be in the top 30 with nearly 300,000 chips.
Elite poker players Max Silver, Mike McDonald, Dan Smith, Greg Merson and Keven Stammen ferociously attacked the chip leaderboard and finished in the upper portion of the counts. A total of 215 players remain in the contest.
Here are the top 10 chip counts at the end of play:
- Pascal Lafrancois - 412,000
- Sam Greenwood - 402,500
- Matthew Berkey - 372,100
- Roger Teska - 369,700
- Brian Altman - 362,100
- Max Silver - 345,200
- Keven Stammen - 342,500
- Christopher Ulsrud - 338,600

According to my bio page, I study behavioral economics. It occurred to be recently that it's not necessarily obvious to the average person, or even to one who has studied economics, what this means. So I will try to explain, and I think a lot of you will find satisfaction in the fact that there are academics out there addressing the objections you may have had to the models presented in your Econ 101 courses.
You can think of behavioral economics as, in a way, at the intersection of economics and psychology. You see, traditional economic theory assumes that people are perfectly rational, patient, computationally proficient little economic robots that know objectively what makes them happy and make choices that maximize this happiness. (Even if traditional economists acknowledge that people aren't perfect utility-maximizers, they usually argue that the deviations are random rather than showing evidence of consistent biases.) Behavioral economists know better- they aim to develop models which account for the facts that people procrastinate, they are impatatient, they aren't always good decision-makers when decisions are hard (and sometimes even avoid making decisions altogether), they go out of their way to avoid what feels like a loss, they care about things like fairness in addition to economic gain, they are subject to psychological biases which make them interpret information in biased ways, etc. In my opinion, these deviations from traditional theory are necessary if economists are to understand empirically how people make decisions about what to consume, how much to save, how hard to work, how much schooling to get, etc. Furthermore, if economists understand the biases that people exhibit that lower their objective happiness, they can put on a bit of a presciptive hat in either a policy or a general life advice sense. (See Thaler and Sunstein's Nudge for a good example of this.)
In short, you can think of the following analogy that I came across in my grad school reading in order to understand the role that behavioral economics plays: Traditional economics describes how an expert pool player does (or rather should) shoot pool. Behavioral economics desribes how the average person shoots pool. To further shed light on the issue, Foreign Policy has put together a nice little timeline of the (relatively short) history of behavioral economics:
Cool, huh? You know you wish you could be me. 🙂

The Tao of UFOs
Tao – the Way – is how the Universe (reality) is seen by followers of Taoism.
UFOs are a manifestation of Tao. UFOs have their own yin and yang; that is, they are real or they are not: they have substance or they don't.
Tao (or dao) is a "religious" concept. UFOs have their own religious-like component. UFOs are a matter of faith, since no one has produced a UFO or any aspect of a UFO that is more than circumstantial.
Many believe in UFOs religiously. Others are agnostic about the phenomenon. And most are atheological about UFOs – they do not believe UFOs exist or have ever existed.
UFOs have the same intangibility of Tao. Neither can be defined explicitly, nor can one put their finger in the side of either.
UFOs, like Tao, have created a "way" – and that "way" is exhibited by so-called ufologists (many of whom can be located via Google), and the "way" is palpable by experiencing the qi (life force) that ufologists have created over the years, even in the absence of a concrete reality.
Wikipedia, in its posting about Tao has this:
A common theme in Taoist literature is that fulfilment in life cannot be attained by forcing one's own destiny; instead, one must be receptive to the path laid for them by nature and circumstance, which will themselves provide what is necessary.
UFO believers dunk themselves in the phenomenon. Their destiny has been laid out for them by the Tao of UFOs.
Ufologists often sacrifice the mundane, practical life for a life enwrapped by UFOs, usually to the detriment of an existential ethos or a sensible, prosaic life-style.
Tao is all encompassing. And UFOs are also – for some.
As Wikipedia relates:
The Tao is elusive and intangible. Oh, it is intangible and elusive, and yet within is image. Oh, it is elusive and intangible, and yet within is form. Oh, it is dim and dark, and yet within is essence. This essence is very real, and therein lies faith.
For us, we continue to practice "wu wei" – non-action, but (as Wikipedia states), "not inaction [just] rather a harmonisation of one's personal will with the natural harmony and justice of Nature" where UFOs have insignificance pretty much.

Showing off his vocal prowess, Penn Badgley sings sweetly in the new trailer for his upcoming film "Greetings from Tim Buckley."
The "Gossip Girl" hunk definitely looks the part of a young Jeff Buckley, joined on the cast by Imogen Poots and Ben Rosenfeld.
Bringing an end to their dramatic legacy, the "Gossip Girl" gang aired their final episode on the CW network last night (December 17).
And fans finally got a solid answer on who the real Gossip Girl is- Penn Badgley's hunky character Dan Humphrey.
It has been a wonderfully drama-filled run for "Gossip Girl," and tonight (December 17) everything will come to an end with a two-hour series finale.
And according to show creator Stephanie Savage, everyone has come together to make the final moments of the CW legacy the best it can be, and Manhattan has always played a key role in the story.
As it's sixth and final season comes rapidly to a close, the stars of "Gossip Girl" are all smiles, happily celebrating their six years of success.
On Saturday (October 20), Blake Lively, Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester, and the rest of the cast and crew gathered for a wrap party in New York City.
The spruced up cast of "Gossip Girl" was spotted filming scenes in New York City this afternoon (October 11).
Blake Lively and Desmond Harrington led the impeccably dressed bunch up a flight of Big Apple stairs while the blonde beauty rocked a grey coat, which revealed a sneak peek of her cleavage.
Logging the long hours for the final season of her hit CW show, Blake Lively got down to business while filming "Gossip Girl" in New York City on Tuesday night (October 2).
The 25-year-old actress looked fashion forward in black tights, ankle boots and a chic maroon jacket while shooting scenes with co-star/former beau, Penn Badgley, and laughing it up with the crew in between takes.
Bravely taking on the role of beloved indie singer Jeff Buckley, Penn Badgley does his best to embody the troubled songwriter in the trailer for "Greetings from Tim Buckley."
In the film, one of two Jeff Buckley biopics in the works, the "Gossip Girl" actor plays the young singer in his early life, before he was famous.
Continuing work on their hit television show, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley once again paired up for filming on the New York City set of "Gossip Girl" on Wednesday (August 29).

Merry Christmas!!!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday with lots of family, food, rest, and thankfulness for all we have.
In the coming weeks before Christmas, I knew I wanted to be crafty for my gift giving. As I've mentioned before, Pinterest is a wonderful resource for finding fun and unique things to make. I stumbled upon freezer paper stenciling. This has been around a while, but it's new to me! There are tons of tutorials out there. And here's another one to add to the mix. 🙂
I made several gifts for my friends and their kids. Here is one of them (you may see a few of the others sneak into view). It's a butterfly tote for my friend's little girl (same one with the toy story / big sister shirt).
Here are the cast of characters for the project.

Situation of the Hotel. We like the fact that the hotel is an 18 something years old building. The public spaces gave us a real feel of the age of the bulding and area where it's located. Overall, it was a good exeprience. No place to unload our luggages on the street. We had to park our car in a nearby shopping center and walk with our luggages on the street. The room itself was clean, the bed was good but it's a bit outdated and might require some refreshing.
Location. Hard to find on a narrow street, but right in the heart of the old town. Adaquate room, nicely appointed. Interior open-air courtyard was beautiful with old stone archways, had a castle-like feel. Not really. Parking was 100 metres away in a shopping centre parkade, but at 8 Euros/day it was cheap. And what do you expect in a two hundred year old downtown hotel?
The room was very quiet and the beds were comfortable, so we were able to have a good night's sleep. The airport shuttle stopped close to the hotel. It was a bit far from the train and bus stations.
Very good location. Confortable room (big bedroom and bathroom). Very good price. The bed wasn't very confortable.
It is well positioned to see Nimes, good garage, nice staff. Breakfast was good. Renovation in progress should improve it even more. Plenty of nearby Restaurants and Bars. Price is about right. (Budget level) No Bar. Restaurant not open. Further renovation works in progress and needed. Heating in room.
The room was bright and comfortable. The cleaner was pleasant and cooperative. The staff were helpful around the car in the garage. The breakfast was good. When we could not get to our car as planned the charge was deducted. Too many steps in the dining room, especially as we had to carry our hot drinks from the machine several times each breakfast, as the cups were so small. The garage was charged for, yet there was a lot of manoeuvring needed and one morning we couldn't get the car out as planned.
The lady at the reception was very friendly and helpful even offered to help us with our luggage from and to the car. The secure car parking. Wasn´t too keen on the location but it was ok for an overnight stay.
beds very comfortable, quiet hotel - good night's sleep, good showers dark in the room breakfast expensive for what it was
everything was very good. the breakfast was excellent I would have like decaffinated coffee
The hotel was in the centre of town which maent that once the car was parked, we could walk the areas we wanted to visit. There were plenty of local restaurants available
Above all its close proximity to the charming old city. Draught beer at O'Flaherty's nearby. Breakfast and other French quality meals in sunlight squares. We booked for two nights and stayed six. The parking was most useful but I think that, for an executive car, access might be uncomfortably tight.
clean good value for money good breakfast central-near rail & bus transport.Problemn of getting to the airport caused by a lightning strike by local taxis two & a half hours before the flight departure was most kindly solved by the owner himself running us in his car to the airport--you cannot beat that for service
In centre, near arenes and train station rooms a bit small, but ok for 1 night
It was in the Centre of Nimes and we could walk to good restaurants, bars and all site seeing places.
Reasonable price, excellent central location, quiet air conditioner. We even had a large balcony to sit on. Carpet needed replacing. Elevator only goes to third floor, we were on the fourth.
Very Helpful Staff. Good location for exploring Nimes Centre
very friendly and helpful staff
The rooms were nice. The receptionist was not bilingual and we had a hard time communicating. However, the next morning there was a bilingual person manning the front desk. They also have no elevator so toting your luggage can be cumbersome to the third floor.
The hotel owner manager was so friendly and accommodating and kind. He and his family gave us warm welcome and we would recommend staying with them without hesitation. The hotel is a short walk from the Arena, shopping central plaza etc. We walked everywhere, even back to train station with ease.
The staff was helpful and the public areas of the hotel appeared clean and well lighted. The narrow street on which the hotel is situated makes loading / unloading difficult, especially as it has a fair amount of traffic for a one-way side street. The indoor parking down the block was convenient but the garage is very small and maneuvering a large car can be challenging. The immediate vicinity was a bit run down and certainly not a cheerful walking street, especially at night.
The owner and his family were lovely. They spoke english very well and even their tiny daughter said goodbye in english! It was a good location, comfortable and very quiet at night
Clean, friendly excellent service.
Upgraded to suite
Location of hotel was good but that's about it. The hotel is over 30 years old and never refurbished. The toilet seats were once turquoise and repainted gold. The bathroom tile floor was dirty. Red velvet wallpaper and dark rooms. Hotel is overrated.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The suite was spacious and well furnished. The bathroom was beautiful and very clean. The location is excellent. The matress of the bed was a bit too soft.
location, clean, a/c not for the price
Staff very helpful
Very friendly and helpful staff; very convenient location for us near the raliway station yet in a secluded street; excellent access to central Nimes

felt paper and rain
Hi - i'm getting my roof redone but we discovered the front porch was completely rotted. It took a couple of days to tear down the porch and rebuild. The roof above the porch is felted with #30 paper and now it's raining. Is that really ok to have just the felt on in the rain for the next couple of days. It kind of makes me nervous.
Ideally, you should only tear off what you can cover with shingles in the same day. Felt paper is very prone to ripping and coming loosed during heavy winds. I hope you didn't use a slap stapler on it.
its called a tarp
Felt will only hold out water for a short period of time. As felt is wetted, it will expand and begin to wick water through.
It's actually a neat process, but not great for long term water hold out.
I'm not the one puting the roof on. I hired a roofer and he insisted this is fine, but we're expecting more rain before he finishes next week. I can't go up on the roof and tarp it sothat's why i'm asking what i should do?
Assuming it's installed properly, 30# felt can set exposed to the weather for a couple to a few weeks with out any problem.
I just went out to look at it after last night's rain and it's kind of rippled. Will that straighten back out when it dries completely or should i make him tear it off. I'm replacing an old roof that's all rippled and i don't want another. (not the same roofer)
(Time as in an hour or so to dry out, not days or weeks)
Felt paper can wrinkle when wet. IMO you do not rip what you cannot roof. If for some reason you cant finish what you've ripped it should be tarped.
Contrary to popular belief, felt paper, or tar paper as most folks call it, is not waterproof.
More accurately stated, it is moisture resistant at best.
Whether or not that is a pro or con is a long argued matter.
Thanks - i talked tom y roofer earlier. He does not plan to leave that paper on. He will rip off and replace with new paper when he does the roof this week.
Just passing by and read this and am curious why the guy above said not to use a slap stapler on roofing felt? How do you attach it?
