Join translator Donald Nicholson Smith and PM Press for the book launch of The Revolution of Everyday Life at Shaping San Francisco and for a a book launch and discussion.
Originally published just months before the May 1968 upheavals in France, Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life offered a lyrical and aphoristic critique of the "society of the spectacle" from the point of view of individual experience. Whereas Debord's masterful analysis of the new historical conditions that triggered the uprisings of the 1960s armed the revolutionaries of the time with theory, Vaneigem's book described their feelings of desperation directly, and armed them with "formulations capable of firing point-blank on our enemies."
"I realise," writes Vaneigem in his introduction, "that I have given subjective will an easy time in this book, but let no one reproach me for this without first considering the extent to which the objective conditions of the contemporary world advance the cause of subjectivity day after day."
Vaneigem names and defines the alienating features of everyday life in consumer society: survival rather than life, the call to sacrifice, the cultivation of false needs, the dictatorship of the commodity, subjection to social roles, and above all the replacement of God by the Economy. And in the second part of his book, "Reversal of Perspective," he explores the countervailing impulses that, in true dialectical fashion, persist within the deepest alienation: creativity, spontaneity, poetry, and the path from isolation to communication and participation.
For "To desire a different life is already that life in the making." And "fulfillment is expressed in the singular but conjugated in the plural."
The present English translation was first published by Rebel Press of London in 1983. This new edition of The Revolution of Everyday Life has been reviewed and corrected by the translator and contains a new preface addressed to English-language readers by Raoul Vaneigem. The book is the first of several translations of works by Raoul Vaneigem that PM Press plans to publish in uniform volumes. Vaneigem's classic work is to be followed by The Knight, the Lady, the Devil, and Death (2003) and The Inhumanity of Religion (2000).

Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse - Chicago
Online Reservations
Wonderful! The service was excellent and always on top of what we wanted. We will definitely go back!
My favorite cut of meat (and I believe all Brazilians will agree with me) is picanha. With just the right amount of seared fat on the sides, the experienced Brazilian gauchos at Fogo de Chao know how to turn this into anyone's rodizio highlight of the night. The lamb chops are also very, very good. And of course, gotta have that tall glass of caipirinha. A perfect meat lover's dinner with a South American twist.
Went there for lunch before school started. All the servers remembered our preferences when they came by on their rounds with the different meats. They made sure that we had the types we wanted. The salad bar is amazing, and the sides are always very good.
Awesome service, amazing food, perfect place to eat for a special day or just in the mood for steak
Food was spectacular as usual. Service was outstanding. It was a perfect spot for our date.
This is the third of their restaurants we have eaten in. The experience has been the same in all. Very friendly, non-rushed dining and eating experience. One of the best salad bars anywhere. All the meats served quickly, perfectly done and plentifully. The service and food so well done you will remember it long after your meal. Ambiance allows hardy conversations.
A little expansive but u will eat so much you meet u wont regret it ! It is not just quantity but also the quality.
My wife loved the cake thanks allot you made OSS happy that night. I will recommend you for every one I know. Thank you.
Fogo de Chao is a really good Brazilian Steakhouse. The wine list was really good, the salad bar had a lot of options, and the meat came to us very quickly. Give this place a try.
The waiters are what make this place and they are very helpful. And their pants and boots are exotic. Many of them are actually from Brazil. Also really good for gluten free people.
I have to say that I was blown away by the exceptional service at this restaurant. I have been to Fogo de Chao in DC, Indy and Chicago and this was by far the best! Their service an food were terrific. 1 thing that stood out to me was the manager who took care of us. My mother uses a cane to walk and thus hard for her to hold a plate at the salad bar and walk. The manager noticed this right away and helped her pick out each item whild holding her plate for her. I have never seen this before anywhere and my mother was very touched. He told her he did it because " she was special to his establishment". She gave him a hug on the way out. He was truly great. Servers were great with my 4 year old and 9 month old.
Best Brazilian style steak house in Chicago, not to mention the excellent lamb.
Great food, great wine and a great place to catch up with your friends.
We,ve gone many times before to Fogo de Chao and my family loves it. We've always had a great experience, but last night was truly amazing, all of the cuts were juicy and tender, just with the perfect timing. So that made our evening all the more enjoyable. Service, on the spot as always. Great place, also for kids.
Good for what it is. You can definitely find better steak for the price of the restaurant.
We were a group of six co-workers that went out after training. The food was great and the meats kept coming. Sometimes it felt a little bit of a too fast pace though.
This was my second experience dining at Fogo de Chao and it was equally as amazing as the first time.
Exceptional food and the service is the best I've seen yet.
This place is as close to authentic as I had when I lived in Brazil. Excellent food, what is more, my wife, who maybe eats red meat twice a year, loved it, chowed down and had no discomfort afterwards. We had excellent service. The place is hectic and noisy, but the food is well worth it.
My husband always wanted to try this place, so it was his choice for his birthday dinner. We liked it, but would not go back. You get a ton of food, but we would prefer to go to a restaurant and just order an entree off the menu. The staff was great, the food was a little on the salty side - and I just don't like when you leave a restaruant feeling overly full, and that is what happens here.
TThe staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. Come with a big appetite and make sure you pace yourself.
I have been living in Chicago for 4 years, and I have never been disappointed with the service and food at Fogo. The service is just great and everybody is so friendly and helpful. As a meat lover, I visited almost all the steakhouses in Chicago from Michael Jordan to David Burke, and I never had a memorable experience or went back. But Fogo is an exception. It is my all-time favorite restaurant and has the best tasting meat (and the most variety) in Chicago. It is suitable for large groups and is never too loud. Everyone I have taken to Fogo loves it and has gone back to eat at Fogo. I would recommend it to everyone.
The food was fantastic. I really think there are just as many employees working as there are customers. We had a fantastic time at the restaurant and can't wait to go back!
fogo is one of my very favorite places to eat in Chicago. They have the best salad bar I have ever seen. But don't get sucked in to eating too much at the salad bar because they have one of the very best selection of different cuts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork
As always, I love Fogo. We go in big groups and its great food and lots of fun. Only issue is we got our table 30 minutes past our reservation and hostess staff was a bit unaccomodating while we were waiting. But once we got in, the food and service were great.
The service NEVER fails. You can't go wrong with endless meat, super fresh salad bar, and great ambiance. It was a bit noisy the day Iwent due to two birthday parties. But overall it's a great place to have dinner with a loved one or a group of friends. Awesome place.
Two things stand out for me with Fogo. First, is the consistently fantastic service. It takes a significant sized team to make a place like this work, and it is so well coordinated, and they are so focused on you that you are never wanting for anything for very long. Second, paradoxically this is a great place for a vegetarian to take meat-eaters. I am vegetarian and my family non. The salad bar is vast and perfect. And is if that were not enough, the waiter offered to have the chef stir fry some veggies (which I declined due to the many options on the salad bar).
Why? Because of the outstanding salad bar and the fact that they will custom make any of their sides to fit a vegan diet.
My guy and I wanted to get away to Chicago. He has been to Fogo de Chao in Indianapolis and wanted my opinion. Loved it!! Nothing at all to complain about. The service, the food, the atmosphere was great.
I have been to this place many times and I have enjoyed it. This most recent experience was so so - some meats were amazing and hot - others not so much
Nice place to celebrate a special occasion. Excellent service and amazing food. The salad bar has a wide range of options; but could use another shrimp option. The table side food is wonderful. The beef ribs are hands down the best I've ever had; tender and seasoned perfectly. The only downside is the restaurant is a little tight. Keep up the good job.
I am not a newbie to brazilian style churrascaria steakhouses. I have been to many locally owned and chains in the united states and europe and so far this restaurant which is conveniently a chain has been the best experience i have had to date. First of all the service is 5 star quality french style service, they truly know how to take care of every customer no matter the quirks. The salad bar was very fresh and had a wide selection of meats, cheeses, soup, pasta, salad, etc. The best part by far is the meats, over 17 varieties of meat and they are marinated and grilled to absolute perfection. If you don't get the meat cooked to preference they make it happen ASAP. I cannot rave about this place any better it truly is a carnivores dream
Amazing service, everyone very nice and give you a lot of attention. Meat coming at you from so many directions, have to remember to flip the card to the red side. Filet mignon out of this world.
Went for my anniversary, and would defineatly recommend, everyone was really helpful and God the amount of food. My thanks to our serve Ana for providing an excellent service. We will be back and request her as a server, even though all the stuff members were outstanding. Thank you!
Great selection of meat. But come hungry. My only'complaint' would be they came too frequently too fast.... Like bam bam bam. . it wouldn't kill to give a bit of time in between. I got full too soon. Would have liked to eat more. Would and will repeat.
Dinner at Fogo is always good. Service was good, but would have been better if the prime cuts would have come around more. We were at the front of the restaurant so I could understand this if this was not what I come to expect from Fogo. The Fogo in MPLS is always busy and they are around enough to where I have to flip my card; didn't have to do this while dining in the CHI Fogo. Also, didn't come around to ask if there was a requested meat we would have liked before calling it quits. Wine was paired well and server was courteous. I will go again when in town; however will request to sit closer to the kitchen.
This is my favorite special occasion restaurant, it's my birthday pick every year. The food is fantastic, it's the best churrascaria in Chicago.
I went to this location a year ago, and was looking forward to going back. Starting off, they had problems clearing out large groups; 40+ people all waiting for 7 o'clock reservations. Directed to the bar area, ended up waiting about 30 minutes; seemed like a lot when I already had a reservation. Eventually brought cheese bread out to the bar which was nice, but a free drink would have been better. Everything went well from there on. The salad bar was excellent, if it wasn't so pricey I would go just to eat that. The service was very good throughout, and rarely a long wait for meat when on "green". Some of the cuts were not as amazing as I remember from last time, but all quite good. Key lime pie was amazing, best I've had.
Came here for the first time with my fiance and father. My fiance has come here quite a few times and has been meaning to take me. I can't believe we waited this long! The salad bar is incredible! I would come here just for that (and you can!) Really fresh, beautiful options. Everything was delicious. Then the meat started coming around. My favorite was the top sirloin cut. It was outstanding. So tender and flavorful! All three of us got a wine flight (a new addition and only in red). The wine was delicious and just the right amount poured into each glass. We ended the evening with glasses of limoncello and 43. So yummy. Our waiter, Marcelo, was awesome. Great service, very attentive. I'm excited to return!
My two friends and I treated ourselves to a late lunch on a Wednesday. Couldn't have been more perfect. I've eaten here at least 5 times over the years. With friends, as a couple, for a company holiday party, and every time the service has been impeccable and the food beyond terrific. It is quite expensive, but you are made to feel as if you (and everyone in your party) is someone special, a celebrity even. You don't have to have a big name to be treated like a big deal. This will certainly not be my last visit! Specially now that there's one in the Rosemont (MB Financial) Food Park!
Excellence. That's the only word to describe this restaurant. They go above and beyond to treat you like royalty.
This was our first experience here. The service was unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Very prompt. My boyfriend is quite the eater, so he was in heaven. They were very accommodating and very friendly.
I've been to others and knew what to expect. However while the wait staff was super I found the food very ordinary and way over priced. The drinks were different and tasty and the dessert was delicious but not worth the money.
We had a reservation, but they were running behind in seating people. Not a problem because we were able to get drinks and seats in the bar area while we waited. Everything on the salad bar looked fresh. I especially enjoyed the manchengo cheese. All the meat was absolutely delicious. I loved that each piece they cut off for you has been char-grilled to perfection. I was divided on the sides at the table. The mashed potatoes and fried polenta were just ok. The fried bananas were pretty good. But my absolute favorite food of the night might have been the cheesy bread puffs. Make sure you try them. Service was great. If you want certain meats, just let one of the gauchos know and they will send it over almost immediately.
The food was exceptional. The wait staff just kept returning if you turn that card to green. My son's girlfriend is Lactose intolerant and she didn't have any problem with the food/choices. She was pleased with all the choices. We will definitely return.
Fogi De Chao never fails to impress. The meat is fresh, the salad delightful and the service impeccable. We were checked on at least every ten minutes or so on top of the almost over eager meat servers. As the restaurant is always buzzing, the meat is always fresh and so are the salads. Pace yourself as you will be offered back to back skewers of meat! The only downside was on arrival the welcoming desk were not very welcoming and were quite "army"-esque in their approach rather than welcoming, once we were sat down however the experience was fab Will definitely go back .
We had a very good experience here. Seated within 5 minutes of our reservation. The food was excellent - from the salad bar to the variety of meats. Service was excellent.
This is not my first time at Fogo De Chao. But it has been a while. We arrived to a VERY full restaurant lobby. We waited about 30 minutes past our scheduled reservation in a very crowded bar area where it was difficult to get a drink. However, once we were seated, the service was outstanding. The temptation of the salad bar was too great. So I indulged in the salad with fresh mozzarella, parmigiano Reggiano and a nice selection of Italian deli meats and olives. But, of course, the real reason for coming to Fogo is the flavorful meats delivered by the gauchos! The filet mignon was my favorite - full of flavor! Make sure to try the lamb kabobs too!
We'll worth a visit for the experience. For a set price they will keep serving you every cut of meat until you say, no more. No comparison to a UK Brazilian.
Great service, good show, and lots of food. Salad bar had a wide variety of selections and quality here was very good. If you like meat and you aren't too picky about fat and grizzle, this place is for you. Even the Filet Mignon was tough. The pork and the sausages were the best selections.

Clothing for a 3 week summer trip across canada
I have no problem travelling light, however I am trying to persuade my wife to think minilist.
What tips do the ladies of this forum have on levels of clothing to take. We are travelling by car with hotel stop offs.
Seems to me three of most things which are easy to wash/dry.
Any help out there?
1 Answer
Hi Bob,
I've never travelled in Canada but have been on a couple of pretty long trips in other parts of the world. I like to pack pretty light, so I generally make sure I have two of everything (trousers, tshirts, shorts, jumpers) and always take a tube of washing gel (it's basically washing powder but in gel form) which I can use to wash stuff in the sink or shower of places I stay!
If you're taking a car your wife could probably get away with taking a few more clothes than I normally do as you won't have to lug it on and off of buses or cram it into a tiny backpack! I'd say 3 of each is a good place to start
Thin clothing is always good as it dries quickly, and to keep warm you take jumpers (and scarves double up as blankets when it's extra chilly).
Hope this helps – have a great trip!

I have been wearing panties since I was young. I have been caught by my mom a few times because I would hide the panties in my closet and she would say, "Whose are these?" I think she realized they were mine, but she would say, "Maybe they are your cousin's from when she spent the night," and I would reply, "Probably." I'm married now and I still wear them; my wife lets me and has no trouble with it. Now, I'm into wearing swimsuits. I have tie-side bikinis and a monokini. I love going to the races at a near by dirt track with them on. The last time I went, it was a cold and chilly April Saturday, so I decided to wear the monokini under my clothes. I put on a hooded sweatshirt so no one could see the strap around my neck. I watched the race and when the intermission came around, I was sitting in my car eating some food. A girl knocked on my window and asked if I would let her sit in the car with me to get warm. I said, "Sure, why not." We talked for a bit and got to know each other, and then she asked me, "Why are you wearing a women's swim suit?" I said, "How do you know?" She replied, "I can see the ties around your neck." I said, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed!" She then said, "Don't be. I think it's very hot." She told me to take the car to the area along the tree line where it's dark, and then to take all my clothes off except the swimsuit. I did and she looked at me and said, "Wow, you look sexy!" She performed oral sex on me while I wore the monokini. When we were finished, she told me that each Saturday night she wanted me in women's under clothes and we would meet in the same spot. It's been great and I'm glad my wife doesn't like going with me or she would find out about my little racing fling.
-Ed, 41

When Facebook launched its ad platform a few years ago it was met with a disappointed response. marketers expected another Adwords (Google) advertising system. They tried to do what they had been doing on Google search on Facebook. It didn't work. Google adwords is a wonderful platform because it customers use Google to find products and services. Dentists, schools or plumbers can respond to a search for "dental veneers in Dandenong" or "reliable plumber in Moorabin" with relevant ads. These are quite obviously potential customers.
Social media doesn't work like that. Facebook users are having fun, communicating with friends, joining groups and playing games. They are not looking for your product service. If you show them an ad for "Dog washing, 30% off" while they are browsing photos of last night's office party, they will ignore it. Wouldn't you? On the other hand, if you ask them to join your "dog owner's of South Yarra" Facebook group, they might be interested. Your group page can let them know if there is a dog washing party in their suburb next Saturday . It might encourage them to organize one themselves for fame, prestige and some free pet shampoo. Context is important. You can use Facebook ads to build your list of "subscribers," people who listen when you say something.
Is a fan on Facebook as good as a hot lead? No, probably not. That doens't mean that your return on investemnt can't be great.
Reasons to Consider Advertising on Facebook:
- Low Advertising Costs - At the moment, a facebook click could cost you less then 1/10 of an Adwords Click.
- Precise Demographics. Is your ideal customer a single 35-50 year old female living near the inner city? Facebook knows who these are.
- Relationship Building. If someone needs a haircut right now, you (a hair stylist) can reach them with Google. But most hair stylists know that the way to really succeed is to find customers who care about hair and want you to cut it every time. The best customers want a hair stylist they can trust every time. Facebook is a chance to build trust.

There was a vote expected last night but it never made it to the house floor now president Obama's come out urging Republicans in the house.
To have a vote today on a relief package for her consent.
With us now is in New York congressman Republican Peter King from Capitol Hill and I still should identify -- that way in all seriousness right constant king as a Republican.
Yeah -- I mean because I'm Republican I'm a real Republican on the national security Republican Homeland Security Republican.
And also someone who believes that the federal government has a major role to play and occasionally natural disaster you my you Republican voting record is.
A lot more loyal than many other people and -- -- the Republican Party at times I think Republican Party is left me when I saw what happened last night.
Okay but just cleared up before we talk -- the changing parties -- -- -- no -- what I've said though is not I'm not at all but I to have said that anyone from new York New Jersey -- contribute.
To be national congressional Republicans -- what happened last night.
This crazy and these guys are always coming into New York raising money.
They have people like governor Chris you to go around the country raising money for them and that we get treated like guests for not a Republican but I I would be looking at every vote.
On the basis now not a party loyalty there's the party was not when I needed from my constituents who are suffering and that you sovereign is immeasurable.
Now I know what's happened last night to this this your caucus and in.
Speaker of the house is Republican John -- -- majority leader Eric Cantor we thought there was going to be a vote from what you've been told him behind this -- I'm sure -- asked a lot of questions what happened.
Or -- trying to figure out I can tell you that the majority leader Eric Cantor.
Who's -- -- -- in good faith though weak and I think you can continue to there was some good faith we have the legislation drawn.
It was -- come to a vote yesterday than we were told it was coming up this morning.
I knew was going to provide the full sixty billion dollars in two amendments 2733.
Billion dollar amendment.
Gonna head up everything -- ready to go and then we started hearing rumors last night.
That there wouldn't be votes today that a vote wasn't gonna come up we -- -- and he said as far as you know was still coming up but parents speak to wouldn't given the green light.
We have -- -- don't worry just wait till this report voters over.
We've talked then and then we started just hearing different things and we couldn't in this -- down.
Final vote comes and goes to speakers gone and her he told one -- -- and his aides that the of the bill was helpful and that's I found out about.
All right two part questions and wrap it up as you gotta go the second congressman -- Do you think or do you go.
Anything about it may be a possible vote today and then what do you say to some of the conservative arguments that have come up that say.
Boy we just voted on this fiscal cliff feel it didn't have any spending cuts and couldn't stomach and another vote on spending and that some of the members of the New York delegation -- was just brought up to me it's apparently.
You know look at this fill up with -- pork is there any truth to that.
-- that is that is absolute -- absolute -- whatever it was -- that bill that was considered walk.
Was put in other states who's put in the senate that was all taken out.
We gave Governor Christie Governor Cuomo Mayor Bloomberg.
-- -- total breakdown of the Republican leadership we were told that was satisfactory because -- question to answer that there was no walk I would are involved in -- how to tell the truth.
Pocket and no vote that you know of on the schedule for today -- not here you know -- I was -- produce -- hundred people missing to have -- -- uncertain -- -- congress Mormaset.

That…really…sucked! Not going to happen this time. I will be ready when that BOGO comes along.

Hey John, I was wondering why you chose to attach the strips of osb to the bottom when doing the glue up? Are they to help you to align the sheet?
Hey John, I was wondering why you chose to attach the strips of osb to the bottom when doing the glue up? Are they to help you to align the sheet?
I used the strips to make sure the screws didn't go all the way through the bottom. Also it keeps the head of the screw from digging a hole into the plywood.
Today I finally glued the rest of the frames on and started shaping the stem head. I am not that happy with the way the forward set of frames came out. I should have spent a little more time shaping them. Oh well, I just used a lot of thickened epoxy to fill any gaps. Next up will be installing the seat risers. Hopefully the mahogany I have will bend in ok. I may end up having to try pre-bending them if they are too stiff. I'm not sure about cutting the angle on the top for the seats to rest on. It doesn't seem like it would be the same the entire length bow to stern. If it's not I'm not sure how it could be cut anyway. If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear from you.
That is one proud stem!
"A man builds the best of himself into a boat- builds many of the memories of his ancestors." -Steinbeck
She's looking great! Your attention to detail is amazing. The top of the stem shaping looks really good,. that is one detail im concerned about on my boat but if i follow your lead i should be ok.
What size fasteners did you use?
Do you find it still needs that horizontal brace John?
Today was not what I would call a great boat building day. I did manage to get the breast hook and the quarter knees shaped. It took all day. I'm not really happy with how they came out, but with extra epoxy and some good size screws they should end up being fine. I tried cutting the curve on the back side of the breast hook. My bench top bandsaw is not big enough to accurately cut the 1-3/4" mahogany. So I need to find someone with a full size bandsaw to finish cutting them.
I was able to borrow a bandsaw and got the breast hook and quarter knees cut out. The breast hook needed a little repair from the failed attempt at using the small bandsaw. I also cut out the seat risers and pressed them along the chine to see if sitting like that for the week will pre-bend them. I'm going to try installing them this weekend.
The Long Point Skiff should use bottom RUNNERS rather than 2 layers of 3/4" plywood. The layers of plywood might give you problems. Also 2 layer of 3/4" plywood must be very heavy.
Thomas Hill designed the Long Point Skiff to be 1 1/2'' thick so she wouldn't oil-can in a chop as well as doing away with bottom framing for easy cleaning and upkeep.
"A man builds the best of himself into a boat- builds many of the memories of his ancestors." -Steinbeck
I have a decision to make concerning the seat riser. The 1" thick Mahogany will not bend easy enough without either laminating it or steaming. I have never steamed wood and have none of the equipment to do it. I successfully laminated the rails. Laminating the seat risers would not be as easy as the rails, but I think it would be possible. What is the consensus, laminate the risers, invest into to the equipment to steam, or scrap the mahogany and go with something else?
Hi John. I Have yet to use my steam set-up but will probably be using it for the rails and seat riser. I am using a piece of sewer pipe for the box and an old turkey fryer burner. You can use a stock pot and a big funnel for a steam pot. You probably already know all this. Something satisfying about steaming wood. I helped build a couple of boats when I was on my boat in my 20's. Laminating is a very valid option as you know. I have laminated deck beams in a curved jig with glue and had great results. Seems a bit silly to set up a steam box for steaming two pieces of wood! As you also know Epoxy is stronger than the wood and screws fine anyway. I heard you say in a previous post you are planning on building a catboat; so maybe now is a good time to set it up. Otherwise, If you are not finishing bright I would probably laminate. This is my old boat I rebuilt and lived on for ten years - The "M.V. Hemlock" Built in 1925, had a Gardner 4LW. I still miss her. I recently found these old pictures. Thought you might like to see her.

Popeye53's photos of his old ship's wheel reminded that many Long Point Skiffs have used this type wheel and look good with them. I believe Tom's first build had one. Hamilton Marine carries them - However I've noticed that they seem no longer to offer them in bronze.
Keep up the good work on my favorite power skiff.
Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily" Johann Von Schiller
Tks. for that link Robert. Nice wheel. - I am thinking very seriously about putting a little keel aft on my Long Point. I just cant help thinking she is going to move around too much with out it. I have slowed down to a halt right now waiting for more epoxy. I was ready to paint but now will wait for the epoxy and put on the skeg.
You can see my build at my thread "Another Long Point".
I've ordered the bronze 16" wheel from Hamilton Marine but it's on back order. I really don't want to use stainless steel. Keeping my fingers crossed that the bronze wheel ships soon.
Nice pictures of you boat Tim. Must have been fun living on her for 10 years.
Still trying to decide what to do about the seat risers, I'm starting to lean towards laminating them, but still thinking it over.
Glad you liked the pics. Wasn't sure about putting them on your thread. - It was rough in the rainy winters sitting there watching the green fungus grow on the windows and cleaning all the soot from the diesel stove, But I had some great adventures. With regards to the skeg plan - everyone who have seen the plans here that know boats has agreed that this boat needs a skeg. I cant believe no-one else has mentioned it. With that big flat bottom it is bound to wander. Don't you think?
Last edited by Popeye53; 07-20-2012 at 04:17 AM.
I have to look through some of my emails. I'm pretty sure I asked Tom Hill about putting a skeg on the boat and he said it's not needed. It be nice to hear from other builders if they think a skeg should be installed.
John, I am thinking of something like this..
She is looking good.
Have you worked out the seat riser's yet? It has been my intent to use atlantic white cedar or cypress (rather than mahogany)for all of the parts Tom specified as pine. I wanted to keep the weight close to the pine with out sacrificing too much strength. I only used mahogany for the chines because I had it left over from my stem lumber. Though I do feel a little better getting the strength of the mahogany for the chines. Your earlier success with laminating could make that method a good candidate.
My build is on hold for a week or so until I get transom wood, then ready to plank. Meanwhile I have the luxury of learning all I can from John's and Tim's ongoing projects.
This weekend I installed the breast hook and both quarter knees. I added a piece of 1/2" plywood under the breast hook to span the glue joints. The quarter knees liked to move around a lot with the epoxy on them. The breast hook is about 1/8" higher on the starboard side. Hopefully after shaping the crown in it you won't be able to notice. I wish I had not finished off the aft upper edge of the breast hook. I forgot I needed to shape the crown. I also glued up the 1st layer of the seat risers. Laminating the second layer is going to be messy, but it should end up working out fine.
It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, not a lot of time for boatbuilding. I have managed to get the seat risers laminated, the breast hook all shaped, and the seats cut out. Next I have to cut the transom for the outboard and start filling holes and sanding. I need recommendations for paint. I'm afraid the paint will smell too much for me to finish the boat in the basement. So I guess I'll need to get one of the temporary sheds for painting.
Really nice John. It is going to be a beautiful boat. I have trimmed my sheer and stem and will be ready to work on the frames soon.
I cut the sides of the center console out per the plans. The dash height will end up being 29" high. I'm 6'2" and it seems a little low. Does anyone have any recommendations for the height? I plan on using a traditional 16" bronze wheel (If I can fine one, Hamilton Marine is out of them).
Here is a picture of Tom Hill's:
Hi John,
I am 6' 2" as well and was wondering the same thing about wheel placement. How tall is Tom?
Tom is not as tall as us. I cut out new sides and increased the height so the dashboard will be 36" high. Just not sure if the console will look out of place with the increased height. I guess I'll just put it together and see how it looks and feels. I can always cut it shorter if needed.
Hey John,
Bought this on Ebay 17" 36 dollars. Search for Perko bronze boat steering wheel etc. they do show up.
Do you have a preference for bottom paint, I'm not going to be leaving it in the water, trailer each time. I'm thinking Interlux?
Hey John,
Looks Great! question, are you going to spray, roll or brush on your paint for the hull and inside?
I'm planning on using a roller and brush. In Wooden Boat issue 207 Tom Hill describes his process for painting. I haven't settled on a brand yet. I'll be deciding between Interlux or Pettit. I plan on leaving the boat in the water throughout the summer. I need to find out of I can use topside paints below the waterline under bottom paint.
I still haven't finished the center console or finished filling in screw holes. Work and family commitments have taken priority for the last few months. Once November comes around my schedule should allow much more time for boatbuilding.
Depends on the paint type. In general, the one-part paints don't last long underwater.
Don't ever become good at anything you don't love to do.
I have also let life get in the way of boatbuilding lately. We both better get busy. I thought it would be cool to present our long Point Skiffs at the Mystic show next June.
I like the idea of presenting both the boats at the WoodenBoat Show next June. The Show is June 28 - 30th. Lets do it!
Hi John,
Whats new?
Hey Tim,
I'm still here! Finally getting done with the 72 hour work weeks for a while. The shop is all cleaned up and I'm ready to get back to working on the boat. I have placed a deposit on a slip for the spring, so it's time to get busy.
Are you working on anything new? How much time have you had to use your boat?
Great John,
It will be nice to see some new pictures. I have lots of snow here so am concentrating on inside jobs. Gillie is tucked away under cover till the spring.
Started working on the center console. I attached a couple of pictures of the console with a 36" high dashboard. It feels good because of my height, hopefully it doesn't ruin the look of the boat. It is 7" taller then the plans call for.
Can you move forward past it fairly quickly to handle lines, etc.?
I'm looking on my phone so proportions might be messed up but it looks like a narrow walk through.
Hi John,
Hmm.. Got me think'n. I like the comfort of stand-up steering, especially at a comfortable height. It is a tad imposing to look at tho, especially from the side, looks ok from the stern I am thinking and very nice to run the boat from. It would be great if the boat was 4' longer and a 16" wider (as per botebum). I figure this is one of those things you just have to try first and see. If you don't like it, yank it out. I still haven't decided what I am going to do finally either, so am keen to see what happens.
God bless,
Just a thought but if you offset the whole console a couple inches to the right, then put a top on the angle you allready have, you could offset the helm a litte to the left and shorten the console. The wheel would be at the angle of the top and you would still be able to stand and walk through easily. Your rigging tube will prohibit walking on the starboard side of the console anyway. I can send you a pic of what I mean to you private as your thread is to nice to litter with a glass boat.

I am building a Long Point and haven't gotten to this stage yet, but was planning on making the center console narrower than the plans called for (maybe only as wide as the diameter of the steering wheel) in order to improve fore and aft access. (I am only 5'8", so I don't need to make the console any taller, which may help with the look of a narrower console.)
I think there is some risk that too large a console will affect the look of the boat. I assume that you have mocked up the steering wheel configuration and made the console as low as you can consistent with a good hold on the wheel for your height and length of arms.
The more I look at the pictures I think I'm going to cut the console down to the height called for in the plans. One negative about the higher console is it's harder to see over while sitting down. I imagine a lot of the harbor and river cruising I'll be doing will be done sitting down. I haven't deviated from the plans yet and everything is turning out great, so why start now. I don't have the wheel yet it has been on backorder for months, but I should have it in a week or two.
I have finally glued up the center console. I did decide to add 2" to the height so the dashboard ends up being 31" high. I also plugged the holes in the stem. Next up I'll be filling screw holes and doing some massive sanding. Painting is going to have to wait until it warms up and I build a temporary shelter outside.
Just wanted to say your boat is really coming along nicely. Really nice workmanship.
Great job! I think that console looks very well-proportioned and fits well with the lines of the boat.
She's really looking good, John. I am glad to see you're back to boatbuilding.
This is a view out my basement door!
A lot of snow has to melt before I can start building the temporary shelter I'm going to use for painting the boat. Lets hope for an early spring. I finally got a 16" bronze wheel. Hamilton Marine was able to find an overseas manufacturer.
Today I spent some time sanding. I screwed up and sanded through the first layer of the plywood on one of the planks. Not sure if its worth trying to fix?
Getting closer to painting, finally!

Nice wheel. Very nice.
That oversand is absolutely not worth trying to fix.
Why wouldn't you paint the boat in the basement?

A A+F Academic Flexibility: The incredibly empathetic staff still surprise me. During the last Winter semester, family crises surfaced that caused me to not be available for the class I had scheduled myself for. The staff at enrollment services made the process of dropping the class stress and hassle free. This is only one of many stories I can share about
C- A+F Academic Flexibility: The process in order to take the classes needed for your major are very difficult. The councilors at my school are not sure what they are doing and every councilor gives me a different answer. Transferring credits will be very difficult for me especially i go out of state. The colleges i'm looking into have different requirements the ACCC has.
A+ A+F Academic Flexibility: The school was extremely convenient. You can schedule your classes as you would like to fit your schedule.
B+ A+F Academic Flexibility: Scheduling is VERY flexible, great school/courses/professors. Only trouble I've had is with online classes, coming fresh out of high school having the discipline of a classroom is a better option for most students
A A+F Academic Flexibility: The campus and its staff have been very flexible, though this does vary amongst teachers. For the most part, assignments, scheduling and access to assistance and insight from the faculty have been very practical.

Atlantic Cape Community College provides a large amount of academic flexibility to students taking classes around a part-time or full-time work schedule. Many courses are provided on many different days and at different times of day for convience, however many alternate classes are held on the main campus at Mays Landing. Students with very full workloads may want to choose an online class to earn extra college credits. Overall, it is pretty easy for anyone to find a class schedule that will work for them, and individuals that are encountering issues with choosing appropriate times can simply talk to an academic adviser during registration on campus to gain assistance.
When registering for classes, the problem that students encounter most is the amount of time it takes to register. The best option, if a complex work or activity schedule is not applicable, is to apply for classes online at the Atlantic Cape Web site. Students often struggle with the amount of classes available on smaller campuses, such as the Atlantic City or Cape May County campuses, as compared to the Mays Landing campus, which has the most students but is not convienent for some people to travel to.

Parole, release and restorative justice: Minister and National Council for Correctional Services
from the Summary of the Parliamentary Monitoring Group meeting:
The meeting provided an opportunity for the Portfolio Committee (PC) to engage with the Minister and the National Council for Correctional Services (NCCS) on matters of parole and release, with particular emphasis on the position of those sentenced to life imprisonment (lifers) and the role of the restorative justice processes.

Parole Camp
from the entry by Maanda Ntsandeni on Aljazeera:
....My journey to making Parole Camp began four years ago when a friend, Andrew May, invited me to South Africa's Pollsmoor Prison. Andrew, an American studying for his Masters of Law degree, was running a class on the Restorative Justice System for inmates approaching their release.
Like many South Africans frustrated by the country's soaring crime rates, I was deeply prejudiced towards anybody who had served time in prison - choosing to focus on my belief that they deserved punishment while overlooking the fact that they had served their dues behind bars.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Barbara Edwards
"Perfect for the summer barbecue! Serve with rice, a light pasta salad, or grilled corn. Great summer eating!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 lemon, sliced
Wow! My husband who was getting sick of chicken on the grill absolutely loved this. I cut the chicken into chunks for kabobs and let it mariate all day. In addition to 1/2 c. lemon juice I used the juice of one whole lemon and lemon zest. I also cut the rosemary down to 1/2 tablespoon and then added FRESH rosemary. I also added some minced garlic, dijon mustard, and worcestershire. This is a definite keeper!
I gave this a 3 because it was a little too lemony...my husband and I enjoyed it and we definitely want to have it again, but I'll change some things next time. This time I used 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and marinated them for 4 hours. I added some fresh ground black pepper and 1 clove of minced garlic to the marinade. I cooked two breasts at a time on my George Foreman grille for about 9 minutes. Next time I'll add a little more garlic and less lemon juice. The chicken turned out very tender.

I cooked the chicken on my newest gadget (a George Foreman grill), and it only took 9 minutes! I only had four hours to marinade the chicken (not overnight). But, it turned out great. My husband thought the chicken was moist and delicious (he even commented on how moist the leftovers were the next day). My eleven month old daughter also gave it two thumbs up. Thanks Barbara for this quick and tasty recipe.
Great recipe!! Be sure to "mash" your rosemary leaves to cause them to release their aromatics. I use the stems to stick into the meat and this also release flavor.
I make something very similiar to this recipe and it comes out fabulous! The key is worcestershire sauce. I would put in about 1/4 of a cup and use fresh rosemary rather than dried. Use it liberally. If you bake this rather then grill do not have marinate but I would say to cook it for 45min to an hour. Goes great with couscous!!!
Very good, I use the dry rosemary and pan fryed it....yummy! Great complments: Corn and garlic dill potatoes
This was delicious! Not kidding. I marinated it for over 24 hours and that was the key. It had a wonderful lemon flavor. I ended up broiling it though instead of grilling. Highly recommend!
I was very surprised that a recipe with such few ingredients would produce something so yummy!! My husband, my 11 year old daughter, and 8 year old son, and myself LOVED this chicken! They asked for it again tomorrow! We cooked it on the BBQ and it was nice and moist,and full of flavour. Served it with a greek salad with creamy dressing. Delicious!! =)

An online article by the Associated Press reported on December 19 that the Iowa Republican Party is taking seriously the threat of disrupting the Iowa Caucuses. The article went on to say that the Republican Party is encouraging the use of paper ballots instead of a show of hands, which has traditionally been the norm at many of the caucus sites. This is for the purpose of reconstructing the results, if necessary. It also quoted Ryan Gough, who is in charge of coordinating the caucuses, as declining to release the specific details of the Iowa GOP's security plan in order not to make these details available to any hackers.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's defensive line needs to be rebuilt, the secondary has holes to fill in key spots, and all the defensive coaches have switched spots.
Much of Iowa's hopes for a defensive turnaround this fall rest of the development of its linebackers. The Hawkeyes return a pair of starters in juniors James Morris and Christian Kirksey, who will be joined by fellow junior Anthony Hitchens in what should be the strength of a defense that slipped from seventh nationally in scoring defense in 2010 to 46th a year ago.
``Linebackers, we always try to lead,'' Hitchens said. ``Going into spring ball, coaches told us that we've got to lead. We've got young guys behind us.''
Though the Hawkeyes defense lacks the big-name players it has had in previous years, a healthy Morris seems primed to become just that in 2012.
Morris sprained his ankle early in the Big Ten season and wasn't able to build on the promise of his true freshman season, when he racked up 70 total tackles after being thrust into the starting lineup because of injuries.
Morris was still an honorable-mention All-Big Ten pick, and if he can stay healthy it's easy to project Morris as the leader of a defense that could really use one. Morris will call the signals from the middle linebacker spot, just as he did at times as a freshman in 2010.
Kirksey is certainly not the biggest linebacker in the Big Ten, at 6-foot-2 and just 220 pounds. But he compensated for a lack of size with speed and quickness, sharing the team lead in total tackles at 110 with Morris last season.
Hitchens is expected to start as the weakside backer after a promising but injury-plagued season in 2011. According to Hitchens, the starting unit has taken major steps forward since a loss in the Insight Bowl to Oklahoma wrapped up a disappointing 7-6 season last December.
``We've grown a lot since spring,'' Hitchens said. ``We're competing together in workouts. We're still watching film together. It's not just us, it's a bunch of younger kids, too, to bring them along. So as a group, I think we're getting better.''
The Hawkeyes should be in decent shape in the back end, with All-big Ten cornerback Micah Hyde and free safety Tanner Miller back and bolstered by two promising youngsters; cornerback B.J. Lowery and strong safety Nico Law.
But there could be plenty of opportunities for Iowa's linebackers to make plays, because the line in front of the group will be as inexperienced as any in recent memory.
The Hawkeyes lost Broderick Binns and Mike Daniels, and junior Dominic Alvis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee - though Alvis said Wednesday that he will be ready for fall camp. Given how raw Iowa will look up front, it will be imperative for the linebackers and secondary to consistently make plays and take pressure off the defensive line.
``We're going to have the most experienced linebackers and (defensive backs out there). You've got James Morris leading the way, Christian Kirksey out there,'' Alvis said. ``We're going to be stacked. I'm looking forward to the guys I have behind me.''
While Iowa isn't exactly ``Linebacker U'' like Penn State, the Hawkeyes can typically boast of one of the better units in the Big Ten year in and year out.
Iowa is going to need its linebackers to play as well as anyone else's in the league if its defense hopes to return to the upper half of the Big Ten.
``There were times last year where we'd have an incredible game, and the next week we'd struggle. But that just showed we had it in us, and we were a resilient defense,'' Miller said. ``It's just those little things, being able to show up week in and week out over the course of a long season.''
