South America Mark Dornfeld , November 11, 2013 "My wife and I had a wonderful trip, we really enjoyed ourselves. All the accommodations that you booked for us were exceptional and our drivers and guides were lovely. We had great weather the whole trip and only lost one activity due to high winds. As you know this is a beautiful part of the world so my camera was snapping all the time. We would definitely use your services in the future for this type of travel. Thanks for all you help and expertise........be well.....m.d."
South America Jack Gregory , November 11, 2013 "Dear Sofia I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru. In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience. Special thanks to: -The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for -The people that looked after us in Lima -Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day. -The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care. -Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides. Regards, Jack "
South America Hainsworth Sherry , November 05, 2013 "Matt…………… Clients were very impressed. Guides were amazing and accommodation was beyond expectations. They will definitely travel with you again and they have highly recommended Kensington Tours. Hope I can work with you again the in the near future. "
South America Scott Parks , November 05, 2013 "Dear Matt Sandy and I are back from Peru and had a wonderful time. Kensington seems to have the best contacts in each country and Peru was no exception. I wanted to take the time to give you some specific feedback on each segment of out trip. The "Hotel B" in Lima is fantastic. It's an old house that has been turned into a small Hotel. The people are great and the location in Barranco is just what we like. The Inkaterra Amazonica is probably the best place place to stay in the Amazon region. The rooms give a real feel of the sounds of the rain forest. The hotels in both Cusco and Aquas Calientes were perfect with great locations. We added an additional day in Aquas Calientes which gave us three days in Machu Picchu. For us, this was well worth it and gave us the time we wanted to see all aspects of Machu Picchu. Pictures did not do justice to the site, although we got some great pictures. The trip to see the Nasca Lines was, also, worth the time. Our guide added some side trips including lunch at a local winery which we really enjoyed. The Hotel Paracas was an unexpectedly high quality resort and a great way to end our trip. Thanks for your help we look forward to next year "
South America June Murray , August 20, 2013 "Buenas Noches Brandi- I filled out the survey but I wanted to send you a note to say thank you. Our trip was the stuff lifelong memories are made of and I mean every part of it. From our time spent in Quito, to the Safari Camp and Isla Isabela. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the staff at our accommodations and the expertise of all our guides (most especially Tanya Helmig at the Safari Camp). We hope to go back for an extended stay. I have attached 2 photos for you of Bart and I. I think the joy is clearly evident- thank you for making it possible. Yours, June "
South America Barbara Mackey , July 22, 2013 "We just completed a family trip to Costa Rica, with three families traveling from different locations. All the coordination efforts were made easily and efficiently by our Kensington representative, Brandi Merchant, who was wonderful; an absolute delight to work with. All the accommodations were first class and the guides knowledgeable and very punctual. We will be using Kensington again! "
South America Cindy Thoene , July 22, 2013 "Hi Brandi!! What an AMAZING trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously…the trip of a lifetime! We returned late on Thursday and had out of town visitors through the weekend and we are just now unpacking and getting back to non-vacation reality. I will share my feedback and get pictures sent to you soon. Thanks for everything….truly a perfect trip! Cindy "
South America SI , July 24, 2013 "Dear Nella, Our trip was wonderful, we had a great time, wish we could have spent more time. In fact, I now know I would have spent more time in Cuzco and the Machu Picchu area. Machu Picchu was fabulous. Margot, our guide, and the driver, were absolutely wonderful, low key, very personable, very accommodating, really good. We didn't end up with enough time on the last morning in Cusco to finish the tour, but got a feel- of Sacsayhuman, Qengo, Koricancha. We saw Ollayantatambo, and went to Moray and Maras, and Wayra ranch which was also outstanding, on the next day, but did not do Pisac and the market. We got tired and ran out of time so cut a couple things. Louis the coordinator was good as well. Would love to go back and learn more some time. The coordinator in Lima was extremely nice too, and very helpful. In fact, we loved the food, the people and everything. The Libertador Palacio , the Tambo del Inka and the Sanctuary were indeed outstanding hotels. LAN was all on time, great service. Thank you again for all your help. "
South America Nick Baxevane , July 08, 2013 "The trip to the Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu and Easter Islands was exciting, relaxing, active, social, exhilarating and that is just the start. Everything was planned out smoothly and went smoothly. The only disappointment I had with this trip was it ended too soon. Congrats to Kensington Tours...GREAT JOB IN PLANNING."
South America Beth Jones , June 20, 2013 "Hi Cindy – just returned from our trip of a lifetime! Thought of you several times…. The logistics were smooth, the hotel choices luxurious, the personal tour guides a highlight. I've already referred you and Kensington to a few people for planning a similar trip. Thanks again for making the trip easy and accommodating my personal preferences! Looking forward to working with you again! Warm regards, Beth "

Hall is a 'focal point'
To the voters in the Hall School District:
As a member of the Citizens for a New Hall High School, I've had many opportunities to discuss the referendum with members of our community. Though not all voters are supporting the referendum, the resounding answer I hear is, "Obviously, we need a new school." This comment is generally followed by these arguments: "Why didn't they build the school in 1998 when the cost was $21 million?" or "A good school doesn't equate to a better education." Or "I don't have children or grandchildren who will benefit from a new school."
In 1998, school board members that we spoke with did not believe a referendum would have passed back then. They chose to make renovations, and their decision bought we taxpayers an additional 15 years in the old facility. The current school board is faced with comparable building deficiencies and operational inefficiencies. One major difference and a key factor in moving forward with the referendum at this time: The technology deficiencies of the old school. Think of all the advances in technology — just in the area of communications — since 1998. The Internet barely existed. Laptops and tablets did not. Access to Wi-Fi was not something that was essential to education.

After three decades of increases, adult obesity rates remained level in every state except for one, Arkansas, in the past year, according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2013, a report from the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
"After decades of unrelenting bad news, we're finally seeing signs of progress. In addition to today's news about the steady rates for adults, we've seen childhood obesity rates declining in cities and states that were among the first to adopt a comprehensive approach to obesity prevention," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF president and CEO. "But no one should believe the nation's work is done. We've learned a lot in the last decade about how to prevent obesity. Now it's time to take that knowledge to scale."

Against the run of play Scotland led 6-0 at the half-time interval but Wesley Fofana and Maxime Medard scored second-half tries as France won their first match of the Championship 23-16.
For Johnson's side there have been plenty of signs for encouragement, both in defeat to les Bleus and England, as well as in impressive victories over Italy and Ireland.
But the Australian, who remains unsure as to whether he will stay in the position full-time, believes it has been a case of two steps forward and one step back.
"We defended really well – I thought we were great in our resolve. But we let ourselves down in other areas," said Johnson.
"However, I asked the guys at the start of the tournament not to send me out to defend the indefensible. But that never happened. They never put me in that position.
"From a progress point of view, I look at some things and say, 'Gee that is fantastic' and then the next day I am disappointed.
"We let ourselves down in some of our kick-return stuff. We dropped a lot of balls and put ourselves under pressure.
"So there has been progress but like all things, it doesn't improve as quick as you'd like.
"But we have got to get rid of this tag that near enough is good enough. We've got to take our opportunities to put teams to bed."

Bad weather kept me out of the woods Monday, but managed to get out yesterday. Had set up a pop-up blind 2 weeks ago on the edge of the woods near some roosting trees. About 20 minutes before shooting time four turkeys started gobbling. After about 15 minutes I heard them fly down. Had a couple of decoys out and some quiet yelping convinced a jake come out into the opening and I shot him. It was over at 6:35 am.
One of the cool things about spring hunting in the woods is that every bird, insect and frog is singing and calling. The fall woods is much more quiet...in spring every living things is screaming at the top of their lungs.
Anyone been out yet?

We are showing you the Norwegian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Friday the 13th
Cyclists are a superstitious breed; they do a lot of strange things a lot of the time. If you hang around enough start lines, bike shops or even just your fellow riding partners, inevitably you will catch a glimpse of their true quirky selves at some point. The upside down 'lucky' number 13 (as seen here) is but one example of the kind of superstitions which will likely come to light. The thinking in this case being that if you were the one to pull the dreaded number from the pile then you'd better make the best of it and turn it upside down before pinning it on (and remember to always pin from left to right, starting at the top.) Well, today being Friday the 13th, that most superstitious of days, we thought it would be good to take a look at some of the others we've heard of. Interestingly, there are two more of these Fridays this year, one in April and another in July (gasp), so why not enter some of the more interesting cycling superstitions you've about (perhaps they're your own) in the comments section below? Rapha will then pull together some of the better (stranger) ones and revisit them in April and July.
Former Rapha Condor Sharp racer and Rouleur writer Tom Southam chimed in with a few thoughts of his own to bring a pro's view on the subject.
Tom had lived this life for so long that it was inevitable he would have a list of crazy things that professional cyclists do to reduce their chances of crashing, or to set their minds at ease before the start of that long grueling event known as the stage race. His remarks were well thought out but, rather suprisingly, more focused on the amateur cyclist on his rise to the top than his former professional peers. Could it be an attempt to disguise how crazy pro riders really are?
Tom says:
There are probably fewer superstitions among pro riders than there are among the amateurs; that's where it's really bad. When you're making your way up the ranks, a lot of learning is done by just listening to older guys then trying to apply all this pro behaviour to make you faster.
A good example of this is the thing about wearing a stifling amount of kit, no matter how hot it gets. This is a massive thing for a lot of amateurs – and I have to put my hand up and admit I was one of them. You'd head out training on a 25C day with leg warmers, long sleeves, a hat and just sweat like an idiot. There were a few theories that had apparently come 'from the top' and then percolated their way down. There was a theory that you would either catch a cold if you weren't properly wrapped up, or that you could damage your knees if you let the tendons get cold. Or even, that if your legs felt cool air, then your body would think you needed to layer them with fat to stay warm - so it would send fat cells there to insulate and you would end up with fat legs.
That's partly a French thing. The French are always worried about getting fat legs instead of simply being worried about going fast on a bicycle. I have seen a lot of very slow, very ripped riders in that country.
The ones who really take it too far are the Spanish. In 2003, the European Champs were held in Athens, in August. On a near-40C day, I once saw the Spanish team training before the race in full leg warmers and long sleeve tops.
The brilliant thing was that, years later, when I was pro myself staying in Madrid, I was out with a couple of guys, Pablo Lastras and Pavel Tonkov. It was about 20C and sunny so we'd stripped down to shorts and short sleeves. We passed an amateur guy going the other way, wearing every piece of kit he could find. Tonkov just looked at me and said: "Amateurs. Where do they get the idea you have to wear all that? Some idiot must have told them that's what the pros do?"
Being warm is reasonable, overheating to look the part is idiotic.
Other beliefs are those we've heard over the years (some as recently as this morning). The good ones tend to stick with you. They quickly pick up a head of steam and assume that legendary status that we're all looking for. Because, after all, who among us does not want to find that simple trick that transforms us from being an everyday sporting cyclist into a hard-hitting Eddy, Jens, or even a Jacques? Who knows if any of these are even true? It makes them all the more effective in finding a place in our hearts and minds.
- Race on new bartape (Adam Myerson).
- Shave your legs the night before a big race.
- Bring your wife or girlfriend along for the stage race (i.e. no sex).
- Race on a brand new, unwashed chamois (Chris Jones).
- Pin your number from right to left, always left to right.
- Bathe during a stage race.
- Ride green bikes (Bob Roll).
- Climb with your bidons in their holsters (Anquetil).
- Race with a new saddle (at least one ride first).
- Climb in even gears as they are for cement mixers (Andy Hampsten).
- Eat ice cream while in competition (John Herety).
- Race a bike or helmet without at least one scratch on it (drop if you have to).
- Train in shorts, that way you know when you're racing (Southam).
- Sleep in air conditioning during a stage race (Armstrong).
- Eat the soft center of the bread for fear of diarrhea.
- Stand when you can sit. Or sit when you can lie down.
This is, frankly, a list that could go on and on. The other thing worth noting is the trinkets you see riders wearing. The copper bracelets dangling from wrists and the jangling necklaces that swing during those long extended climbs through the Pyrenees. The caps sometimes worn forward, sometimes backward. Brim up, brim down, take your pick. Keep an eye out as this year's Tour progresses. Who will be wearing the same odiferous base layer day in and day out in a bid not to upset the gods of karma (and who has yet to discover the merits of merino wool)? Apparently Jens Voigt has a special pair of sunglasses he only wears when he knows he's going to go for the win. Rumor has it that his win-rate is near 100% when he wears them. Which has, by now, planted the idea in your mind: 'What glasses? I must have them.'
Tom Southam has a response to this kind of juju:
I always really fancied having some neat trinket that I could put my faith in as a lucky charm, maybe a necklace or something like that. A lot of guys have something like that but sadly two things stopped that. One reason was that nothing like that was ever given to me; the other being that my first coach banned lucky charms pretty much in the first conversation we ever had. His thinking was that one day you'd forget it or lose it and as a result would start the race already beaten.
Whatever you need to make yourself feel better about your racing and training, we say do it. When I try and think of those things I do – whether it's keeping my glasses on my person at all times, or never riding my bike without a base layer - I can't think of one that gets in my head sufficiently before a race that it irks me to the end. Usually, when the race kicks off those nervous ticks disappear. But I know that they are out there. My fellow Rapha Continental rider Cole Maness refuses to shake hands with anyone wearing gloves. And I have seen them at the races (it must be a peanut butter sandwich - no crusts! - 45 minutes before the start). So, I can tell you for certain that such superstitions do exist. But what I want to know, on this 13th day of the year is, what are yours?

Suffering from heat-stroke on a solo 80-mile, middle of the summer ride in Savannah, GA, I found a red plastic monkey, presumably from a Barrel-o-Monkeys, on the side of the road after stopping to relieve my stomach of its contents. I have been racing for 3 years with the monkey in my center jersey pocket.

Despite not being religious, I have a St. Christopher that I wear. As above, I'm not sure if he brings me luck or not but I worry about what would happen if I didn't have him…
Cyclists and sailors are two of the most superstitious groups ever and I'm both of those so I guess it's inevitable!

Always place your shoes on opposite sides when off your feet (R-L) so opened straps don't touch. Critical for Karma.

Never, EVER get on your bike with your left leg first. Always swing your right leg over. Similarly, never carry your bike on your left shoulder.

The only superstition I have is grabbing number 13 whenever possible. The fact that I was born on July 13th might have something to do with it.
The only race I have ever won was the elimination to scratch at a 4 day UCI track event and that was done with an upside down 13!

Oh yeah- I forgot the best one.. A proper superstition I have. To avoid any kind of bad ju-ju I never, ever throw my gel wrappers away. A good rider always has the time and good grace not to ditch stuff in races, and if you don't.. well, bad luck is just around the corner.

"Right-hander Carl Pavano, who signed a four-year contract with the Yankees a year ago, has been telling friends he wants out.
A person who spoke with Pavano late in the 2005 season said Pavano was "miserable" with the Yankees and that he would like the team to try to trade him this winter. He has not yet asked the Yankees to trade him, and he might not make the request formal, but he might not have to."
You'll have to put in your zip code and birthday to read the whole thing, but what does everyone think of that. I don't know how much stock I put in it, afterall, we did hear something similar during the season last year didnt we?

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. -- The missing mothers and their three children in Green Cove Springs have now been found safe in North Carolina. The Clay County Sheriff's Office issued an alert Saturday for 23-year-old Brittany Miller-Leichty and 34-year-old Thelma Leichty along with their children 6-year-old Alexzander Rogers, 7-year-old Kelly Barnard and 13-year-old Caitlyn Barnard.
CCSO says the group was last seen on January 30, 2013. The Sheriff's Office says the women's husbands contacted them saying they were concerned for their welfare and that of the three children between them.
Late Saturday deputies located the family in Wilmington, North Carolina. Deputies are now working to learn more information about why the family disappeared.
Action News has learned, DCF investigated the family earlier this week, prior to the family being reported as missing. A DCF spokesman could not comment on the nature of the investigation.

When I am in the car I like talk radio, KFI, however, listing to the commercials, they're all directed to fear. IRS, Refinance now before it's to late, cancer, etc.
Better do it now or it's to late. Commercial after commercial , this really sucks, is there a radio station out there that just plays decent music or have good talk radio.
Now the talk hosts, same thing over and over again, They sound like a broken record or their music sound like it's on another planet.
Any comments.

I feel like Little Debbie snack cakes have been around forever. I remember eating them as a kid, and I'm so glad to see the brand still in stores today. There were so many different snack cakes available back then, it is hard to believe that they are still able to create new products. But they do. And they are all just as yummy as the ones I remember from my childhood.
Little Debbie's newest offering are Cloud Cakes, which are vanilla creme-filled golden sponge cakes. They are individually wrapped and come 10 to a carton.
We were sent a package of Little Debbie snack cakes to review. Included in the package were the Cloud Cakes, Easter Basket Cakes, Petites and Banana Pudding Rolls.
I have to admit, my weakness is sweets, especially in the evenings. When I'm up late on the computer working on my blog, I seem to crave a little something sweet. These Little Debbie snack cakes are perfect for satisfying my sweet tooth.
The Little Debbie Cloud Cakes are so yummy! They are light, and just the perfect amount of sweet. I liked that they were individually wrapped, so I wasn't tempted to eat more than one at a time. Trust me, I could have eaten the whole box in one sitting! See, I told you I had a weakness. Of course I really enjoyed all of the cakes we received. I will have to say, though, that I think my favorite were the Banana Pudding Rolls. Yum!
The only negative thing I have to say about these great snack cakes is that they all come with a tree nut allergy warning. As most of you know, we found out on Christmas Eve that Rylie has a serious tree nut allergy, so unfortunately, she was not able to try any of these.
Little Debbie Cloud Cakes are available in mass merchandisers, supermarkets, dollar stores, variety stores and some convenience stores and other retailers nationwide. The suggested retail price is $3.09 per carton. If you have a craving for sweets like I do, you will definitely want to try these!
Mandatory entry: (This must be done in order for any optional entries to count) Let me know what your all time favorite Little Debbie snack cake is, or one you would like to try.
Optional entries: After you make the mandatory first entry above, you can get one extra entry (unless stated otherwise) for each of the following (please leave a separate comment for each):
* Like Little Debbie on Facebook
* Follow @LittleDebbie on Twitter
* Follow my blog publicly with Google Friend Connect (sidebar)
* Subscribe to my blog by email and confirm your subscription (sidebar)
* Like The Life of Rylie...and Bryce too! on Facebook (leave your first name and last initial)
* Share this post on Facebook by clicking the Facebook icon at the bottom of this post
* Follow @thelifeofrylie on Twitter (leave your user name)
* Tweet about this giveaway by copying and pasting this tweet and leaving me the link to your tweet (you can tweet daily for an extra entry each day):
Satisfy your sweet tooth with @LittleDebbie! Enter to #win a case of Cloud Cakes from @thelifeofrylie. http://bit.ly/dUHR8u #giveaway
* Post my button on your sidebar or your blog roll for TWO extra entries (leave me two comments with a link to where I can find it)
* Blog about this giveaway with a link to this post for THREE extra entries (leave a link to your post in three separate comments)
Giveaway will end on April 3rd at 9:00pm EST. The winner will be chosen by random.org. I will notify the winner by email within 24 hours, and you will have 48 hours to respond. If no response is received within that time frame, I will pick another winner. Please leave your email address or make sure it is in your profile so I will have a way to contact you. I will announce the winner once they have been confirmed. This giveaway is open to residents of the US only.
Disclosure: This is my honest opinion. I received the package of Little Debbie snack cakes at no cost for the purpose of this review. No other compensation was received. A big Thank You to Little Debbie for providing the giveaway prize!

Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
the 34' canoe stern version
Some of us have been waiting patiently for a very long time...tap...tap...tap...
Thanks for your enthusiastic response to my project. I hope I can live up to expectations with the rest of the photos and commentary. I've been working at this boat for a very long time. So long, as a matter of fact, that the neighborhood kids have dubbed it the "forever" boat. In the photos, you will notice that I started out with a full head of hair and a dark beard – that has now changed drastically. What began as a 10 year building program has manged to morph into a retirement project. Not because I'm a slow builder (I am that), but because I have tried to pursue too many other full-time endeavors throughout my life all at the same time. A common fault of dreamers with short attention spans I expect.
But a guy's got to dream…
One day, a couple of winters before I started building, I found myself going a bit stir crazy and needed something to perk up my spirits. We were living in a small log cabin out in the boonies, without electricity, and there wasn't much in the way of entertainment to be had. So, I grabbed a set of plans I had bought from designer Tom Colvin and headed out to the small pasture behind our place. I made up some long battens and "lofted" out the accommodations plan full size to see how it would fit.
The snow was perfect. It had been really cold and the surface was so hard and crusty that you could walk on it without fear of breaking through. Once I got all the lines laid out, I filled them in with ashes from the wood stove. In a few hours I had a virtual boat that I could walk around in. It was fun and the drawing lasted for several weeks before it snowed again and covered it up. I guess there are some advantages to Canadian winters after all.
A few years went by and we finally decided to take the plunge and build a real boat. But first, we had to put up a ply, plastic and tin "tent". We could only get a temporary permit from the city of Nelson for the structure and weren't allowed any kind of foundation or footings. I just wrapped the bottom of the frames in black garbage bags and buried them in the ground. They eventually did rot out, but lasted a surprisingly long time with a bit of reinforcement here and there.
I would like to have built a larger shed, but out of deference to the neighbors I kept it as low profile and unobtrusive as possible
A bit cramped inside, but perfectly functional with a small working platform at the far end for stationary tools and a bench. I also had access out back to a two car garage/workshop that could be heated more easily. It wasn't my intent to work on the boat in winter, so I never bothered to insulate the boat shed. I did fit a stove though, but all it was good for when it got cold was warming my backside whilst dreaming of faraway tropical Isles.
The colder months were devoted mostly to earning a living. In reality, I was lucky to get 4 or 5 full months of work done on the boat most years. (You can see where this is heading...)

definitely worth waiting for this story
snow lofting - brilliant!

Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
Please stop. Lust is a sin.
Feel free to ignore boatbuddha's request. Keep it coming.
I love that pic of the outline in the snow. Classic! Too many people would be totally unable to relate and just think you were a bit odd or eccentric. The rest of us, I'm sure, can totally relate and understand that it makes perfect sense to draw a full-size outline in the snow.

are you on dial up? lets go lets go!!!!
Thanks, Don. Looking forward to more.
Wait. I think I can see a tiny flaw in her paint. No wait. I can't.
The following year was devoted to lofting the hull, making the moulds and setting them up.
Never one's to miss a photo opportunity, that's my wife, Sanda, in the background and her friend Sally pretending to loft. Oh yeah, there's a half model of the hull in the foreground.
The lofting floor was 3/4 K3 particle board, painted flat white. It worked out pretty good. I used coloured ballpoint pens to differentiate the lines once they were faired.
Besides getting the moulds off the lofting, I was also able to make up a bunch of other components for the hull, like floors, frames, backbone members, etc.
The frames were laminated from Douglas Fir right on the loft floor using dedicated moulds to get their shape.
The moulds were nailed to the floor and these cleats fitted right up to them to fix the laminations. A bit of plastic was used to keep things from sticking. After cleaning up, the frames were screwed to the moulds and set up to take the planking. This allowed me to fair and bevel them right in place for a near perfect fit.
The lofting has been cleared away and mounted on the wall for future reference. I set up and carefully squared a heavy strongback for stepping the moulds. Even so, getting everything nicely trued up was a bit of a task. Definitely the stage where you want to take the extra time to get it right. 3/4 K3 particle board was used for the moulds too.
More of the same - stern view.
All right!! Well worth the wait!
But is it going to take as long to get all the pictures up as it has taken you to get to this stage?
Some of us are patient but that may stretch the meaning of the word just a tad!
Well I was going to wait until I had a chance to go through all my old slides, pick out the best ones, sort them, scan them, upload them to Photobucket, write some commentary, then post everything to the Forum. You know, time permitting, maybe over the Christmas holidays. But then I made the mistake of posting the stern shot and...BLAM...suddenly I'm besieged! Gimme a break wouldya!
But I am flattered by all the attention and I'll do my best to get more photos up in a timely fashion. Thanks to all for the kind words and comments.
Here I have started beveling the edges of the moulds to take the planking.
I should mention that the main text I used for lofting this boat was Chapelle's "Boatbuilding". I like his treatise the best of any I have studied, but I also referenced the Gougeon Brother's book on Boatbuilding for its section on deducting for planking thickness. Chapelle falls way short in that department and the explanation in the GB's book is superb. It is based on a system developed by Joe Trumbly who taught boat building at Bates College in Washington State. I highly recommend checking this out for anyone contemplating lofting a boat in the traditional manner. It is very accurate.
A close up of the edges being beveled. I first rolled some flat black paint on all the edges to help define and preserve the controlling edge of the moulds. This is a great visual aid and helps avoid removing any material one shouldn't. I used long battens laid across the moulds to determine the depth of material to remove. In a strip-planked boat, it is very important to have a flat landing for the strips. Just trying to bend them around a hard, un-beveled edge will cause notching on the strips – something best avoided, not just for looks. Once notched, the strips are prone to breaking at a very hard turn.
Chapelle and the Gougeon Brothers were the main reference texts used throughout the rest of the construction process too.

But to redeem himself, he first made guide cuts with a lovely little back saw…..
….and finished off with a spoke shave and hand plane.
Voila! The inner keel was laminated up from some beautiful old growth Douglas Fir from Vancouver Island.
Take your time, Don. We don't want to add another "to do" to your holidays.
This looks like it's going to be a wonderful story - we can wait for it to unfold.
Thanks guys. I'll not rush it, nor drag it out; and if it starts to get boring, I'll expect a rousing raspberry or two to keep me on track!
Okay Yeadon, specs, etc, coming up soon.
I know I was one of the instigators in getting you to share this - so blame me if it helps. Thanks for starting & I can guarantee you'll get no raspberries from me - unless I happen to be picking some that is....
No worries Garret. You guys got the ball rolling. Thanks for that.
Sweet! awesome build thread. looking forward to watching this one.

I like the electric adze! but I must admit I also like the real one. I've spent so much time around loud machinery that I really enjoy the quiet approach for a lot of things these days.
I didn't mean to rush you, just a gentle nudge along the path. I promise not to be too aggressive should you wander off and fail to meet the commitment that you've so generously made!
A lovely job Don , I'm jealous !!
Perfect is the enemy of good.
The backbone in place and the deck clamps laminated around the moulds 5 rounds of 1/2 x 4 Alaskan yellow cedar, bent cold. That was fun!
A lack of clamps necessitated using large screws to pull the laminations together. I only did one layer at a time. I couldnt imagine trying to do all of them in one go. The end moulds needed to be stoutly reinforced too.
Bending AND twisting the laminations would have been impossible, so the bottom edge of the clamp (meaning the top part in the photo) remained proud to be planed fair later.
Ill admit, removing the clamps probably wasnt the smartest idea. I learned a lot about springback that day! But I couldnt think of any other way to get the laminates cleaned up.
Actually, it wasnt all that bad. I had to fuss with the clamps a bit and managed to get them back in place just fine. Using thinner laminations might have helped and the deck clamp could have been a little smaller in cross section too. But I wanted a stout hull-deck connection to take the beams.
Once I wrestled the clamps back in place, I proceeded to fair them flush to the moulds in preparation for planking. I used a long batten placed along the clamps and moulds and struck a control line, which allowed me easily plane away excess material. Port side is done, starboard awaiting.
Bow shot. Everything has now been faired and ready for planking. The lowermost batten (or ribband, if you prefer) defines the actual top of the bulwarks. It is a bit wider than the planking strips and will be removed once the hull is planked up. Nothing is glued to it. It is primarily there to provide support for the diagonally laid veneers that will be applied later on.
By the way, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to fire away. I'd be happy to reply. There will be a quiz!
your boat looks great. More work than I would want to do, but if anyone ever wants to build one for me just for the practice...
Meanwhile I'll have to make do with your Alaska.

Thanks Tom! Congratulations on your article on the Texas 200 in the latest issue of WB!
I too started my build as a bright eyed 30 something...now it's 20 something years later...sigh.In the photos, you will notice that I started out with a full head of hair and a dark beard – that has now changed drastically. What began as a 10 year building program has manged to morph into a retirement project.
Keep the photos coming...please.
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
― Terry Pratchett
Not entirely original. It started out as a Tom Colvin design, but got considerably altered along the way to the point that all that is left of the original design are the hull lines. No disrespect meant to Toms work.
I had originally purchased a set of plans for his Oceania 34, a plank on frame marconi ketch, that he redrew for me as a junk schooner. I was really into junks at the time but, as hull construction progressed, I grew less and less enchanted with the idea of that rig. It just didnt seem right any more with its aluminium pipe spars and heavy, fully battened elephant ear sails. This hull has a distinct east coast Pinky look to it (less the swept back sheer) and really begged for a more traditional, western type sail plan - at least to my eye.
I considered going with a Pinky schooner rig, but didnt think it would work all that well on such a small hull. It had its good points, but in the end I gave it up in favour of a single stick with a large sail area. I long ago decided not to fit an engine, so light air performance was very important to me, especially if I wanted to get anywhere in the light winds that are common in the PNW during the summer.
I finally settled on a topmast gaff cutter. It seemed to me to offer the greatest amount of versatility, in terms of possible sail combinations, for the type of sailing I had in mind - everything from the Inside Passage to long voyages offshore. I wanted a rig that could carry a ton of sail, yet be easily and quickly reefed in a blow. And, it needed to look good doing it.
By now, of course, I had already reworked the building plans from carvel to cold-moulded construction. If I was in for a penny, I might as well be in for a pound, so I drew up a new rig. While I was at it, I changed the deck layout and the interior accommodations to suit my own particular needs as well.
Obviously, I cant lay claim to this as a design of my own. Id have to rework the hull lines significantly before I could even begin to consider that. Something that is unlikely to happen and this design will probably remain unique. Not entirely mine, not entirely Toms.
Appologies for the quality of the drawing. It's all I've got on paper at the moment. (Click on the drawing for a larger image.)
DISP: 18,000 lbs
BALLAST: lead outside 5,600 lbs - inside 1000 to 2000 lbs, as required
B/D: 36% @ 6600 lbs; 42% @ 7600 lbs
SA working: 800 sq. ft. (SA/D: 18.5)
SA 3 lowers: 695 sq. ft. (SA/D: 16)
More photos soon.
Now that sketch is gorgeous, the sheer is really something. She's going to be so much fun, worth all that work!
Thanks for the photos
I'm taking the fact that you're finally putting these pictures out (even squirrelled away in "misc. boat related" as they are) as a sign of something Don. Not sure what- but something of Great Significance.
Huh? I just can't resist an audience Toumbi!
The strips for the planking were gotten out of 2 thick Western red cedar. It was much easier milling them with a portable saw than trying to push them through a stationary one. The plank on the left was given a straight edge and used as a guide. It was 12 wide and 24 long an amazing piece of cedar!
Most of the timber was long enough to require only one or two scarphs in the strips.
A very simple jig for cutting 8:1 scarphs
.which were then glued up and clamped with a couple of temporary round head screws.
First round of strips glued up, starting on the second. I usually pre-fit about 4 or 5 strips at a time before gluing them up. I found this easier when working alone. If Id had a crew, I would have glued them up on the run. Pre-fitting is time consuming, but essential for a solo builder. Otherwise, it can all go south in a hurry, especially in really hot weather with accelerated cure times.
I pre-drilled all the strips and used thin maple dowels to align them in between the moulds. This is essential for square edged strips, which I prefer over bead and cove. In this photo, Im only pretending to drive the dowel home. It wasnt really done until after the glue was applied.
Much further along here. This strip is now glued and screwed to the moulds and the dowels ready for driving home.
The transition point in the run of the planking has been reached here. The strips began parallel to the sheer and were laid up until they started to develop a steer horn wave to them. At this point, it was time to put in some long stealers to realign the strips so that they would run out parallel to the top of the keel. The thinking was to have an attractive run to the strips where they would be visible on the inside of the hull. The intention was to finish them bright. In the end, however, they were painted. I think the planking job would have been a bit easier to do if I had run them from a master strip laid midpoint between the sheer and keel instead. Oh well, live and learn.
close up of the transition point at the bow.
It went rather well.
The stern, on the other hand, presented its own set of problems.
Getting the strips to twist and lie fair was becoming difficult. Its amazing how much resistance a piece of 3/4 x 1-1/4 red cedar has to being twisted. It was time to do some major fudging.
Oh man, this is like those old serial radio and TV shows!!
"Will Don hammer in those dowels?"
"Will he be able to twist the cedar strip into proper shape?"
"How will he decide to paint the inside of his hull, rather than leave it bright?"
"Be sure to tune in NEXT WEEK and don't miss a moment!!"
"And be sure to drink your Ovaltine!"
- Bill T.
"How many politically-correct people does it take to screw in a light-bulb?"
"Look, I don't know, but that's not funny."
The Ovaltine was a nice touch. Took me right back!
Got me hooked!
Gernot H.
This is almost as tense as waiting for Lenihan to get something up.
What did you do with the holes in the strips from the screws?
You certainly have accomplished the good looking part.

Did you do anything to make sure your paint didn't bleed under your tape? My kitchen is aqua and red too and I am working on a curtain for the back door
In this latest design time, the old-fashioned of plastic slatted blinds are out of style unless. Now everyone wants to purchase latest designs of window blinds.
totally luved it,..
Oh my word- I'm dying! I LOVE the color combo- my favorite. I want to eat at your house. Chips and salsa?
I saw your fun comment- the Food Buzz ad is actually a part of FM through Clever Girls. But a trip to NY- sure, why not?
Will be sharing this all over the place. Thanks for linking up. xoxo -

Developing Embedded Targets
Developing embedded systems using Model-Based Design requires a well-defined software architecture for implementing, integrating, and verifying generated code with an existing basic framework of hand-written code. Many embedded target deployment options are available to systems and software engineers. Automatically generated algorithm code can be manually integrated with hand-coded drivers and a scheduler. Alternatively, the code can be integrated automatically using a single-button build process within Simulink. The resulting executable can then be deployed and executed on the embedded target for verification, deployment, or interactive parameter tuning.
MathWorks consultants help you migrate your existing tool chain—whether it is based on manual or automated methods—to an embedded target environment that is optimized for Model-Based Design. The Developing Embedded Targets Advisory Service transfers this knowledge into a consolidated coaching session that features a realistic production hardware and software environment with the development concepts listed below. Optionally, you can adapt the content to use your specific hardware and software environment, although duration and pricing may vary.
While the Developing Embedded Targets Advisory Service is flexible, content generally follows these steps:
The Developing Embedded Targets Advisory Service is conducted by senior-level MathWorks consultants experienced in helping engineers worldwide implement embedded code generation targets. MathWorks clients include leading companies from the aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and automotive industries. ;To discuss your specific requirements, contact MathWorks Consulting Services.

Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Furthermore, many cancer cases and deaths occur needlessly, as they could be prevented if more people took advantage of colon cancer screening. Screening and early detection saves lives.
Colon Cancer is cancer of the colon (the large bowel or large intestine) and the rectum. Colon cancer may begin as non-cancerous polyps, which are grape-like growths on the lining of the colon and rectum. For reasons that are not fully understood, these polyps may become cancerous. According to the National Colon Cancer Research Alliance, nearly 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer annually. Even as the second leading cause of cancer in the United States for men and women combined, colon cancer is one of the most curable cancers when detected at an early stage.
