"Feed My Lambs" John 2:15
At Little Lamb Preschool, we believe that Christian education is an important aspect of God's mission as commanded by Him to the Church. We offer opportunities for physical, spiritual, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual growth by providing children a positive, creative, stimulating, and orderly Christian environment. It is our hope that by providing a well-rounded program and by developing the whole child, your children will go on to enjoy continued success in school.
Little Lamb Preschool serves the whole community and admits students of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to our students.
The value of early childhood training is indicated in the Bible: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6.
A Christian home gives a child his / her first Christian training and instruction. At Little Lamb Preschool, we share in the responsibility with you by providing a loving, warm, secure environment where children receive Christian training and instruction. Little Lamb Preschool accomplishes this by:
- Providing early Christian training and instruction
- Assisting in the gradual adjustment from home to school life
- Developing creative and academic abilities by providing experiences and materials that give many opportunities for exploring, thinking, and reasoning.
- Developing skills necessary for each child to find success and happiness in our ever-changing world
- Promoting learning through work and play
- Preparing each child with skills for future school success
We accept children who are at least 3 to 5 years of age by September 1. Children will be placed in one of two classrooms within each session, according to their age when enrollment permits.
3-Day Session: M,W,F 9:00 – 11:30 a.m.
2-Day Session: T, Th 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Both sessions are designed to foster all aspects of each child's development. Our curriculum includes:
- Religion
- Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Art
- Music
- Science
- Physical Education
Yearly Tuition: $810/year ($90/month)
An annual registration fee of $35 per child, plus the first month's tuition is due at the time of application. A discount is offered to members of Salem Lutheran Church and to families with two or more children enrolled at the same time.
Classes are filled in the order that applications are received. Church member registration begins on February 19, 2017. Open registration for the entire community begins on March 6, 2017. Please contact the church office for an application or more information.
Arrival/Centers – Upon arrival, children choose from a wide variety of centers to play in. Choices include, but are not limited to: riding bikes, puzzles, computers, painting, play-doh, books, building with blocks or Legos, dress-up, and imaginative play.
Jesus Time – A different Bible story is presented weekly. Children also have time to pray and sing songs. Once a week, the lesson is taught by Pastor Meyer.
Class Time – Children separate into their respective classrooms. Both classes begin with opening activities including calendar and weather, time for sharing and stories, songs, and finger plays. Both classes study one letter per week and work on important skills such as writing, number recognition, counting, sorting, and patterns.
Play Time (Gross Motor Skills) – Weather permitting, children play outside on the playground. Otherwise, playtime takes place in the gym with both free play and organized games.
Themed Units – Through the use of exciting themes, children will have a chance to explore and discover their world with books, songs, food, art projects, and hands-on discovery activities.

If you've read any news lately, (or here, or here), you know that dairy farmers are facing a winter of great discontent. Prices are very low, and with input costs still high, the cost of milk production is at one of the lowest points in history. All the 1930s-era comparisons when talking about today's economy are certainly true for dairy farmers right now.
That's why Cooperatives Working Together announced Wednesday the latest in its series of herd retirement programs. Some may have thought it was an April Fool's prank, but given where the economics of dairying are right now, the situation is in fact very serious.
This is the second bit of good news farmers have received in the past week. Last Thursday, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that USDA was going to use 200 million pounds of surplus nonfat dry milk in domestic feeding programs. The main benefit of that decision was to keep the powder from being resold to the commercial market by USDA, which could have retarded the rebound in farm-level milk prices. The other good news about the announcement was, frankly, just the fact that USDA recognized the gravity of the dairy problem, and did something about it.
And that's basically what

E.U. Bans Shark Finning
The European Parliament approved a strict ban on shark finning, closing a crucial loophole in EU law by requiring that all sharks caught in EU waters, and by EU vessels in international waters, be landed with their fins attached. This is a monumental achievement for sharks and one that Oceana campaigned for. The EU is the world's largest exporter of shark fins to Hong Kong and mainland China and the new EU rule represents a huge step forward in the conservation of sharks.

Archbishop urges international community to help preserve peace in Sudan
Archbishop Daniel Deng, leader of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan, told reporters that failure to fully implement the CPA was likely to result in another war.
"There is fear that the CPA will become another agreement not fulfilled," he said.
"The CPA and the current agreements on referendum and popular consultation law are simply pieces of paper until they are actually implemented on the ground.
"Sudanese politicians have lost the trust of the people regarding the honouring of agreements."
The CPA was signed five years ago between the north and south, ending more than two decades of civil war. The approaching elections, Sudan's first multi-party elections in 24 years, and a referendum on whether Southern Sudan should become independent, are threatening to break the fragile peace.
The Archbishop urged the international community to play a greater role in the peace process, particularly those governments that guaranteed the CPA, among them Britain, Norway and the US.
He called for their support in ground level monitoring of the CPA and meetings with Sudanese politicians to assess the implementation of the agreement.
The Archbishop warned that unless the general elections were seen to be conducted fairly, the south would most likely vote to secede, a move he believes would be blocked by the north.
He stressed the Church's position was not separation but unity on the basis of the CPA, which was intended to end the marginalisation of people on the peripheries, particularly people in the South and in Darfur. He warned that without this, southerners would not find unity an attractive option.
"The Church has never talked of separation but the implementation of the CPA," he said. "We need the international community to support a document that has already been agreed. The Church is saying please help us to let these people exercise their rights."
He added: "The Church is looking for a victory of peace. There has been fighting for 22 years and they have not defeated each other. We want a victory of peace so that people can have peace for life."
Particular concern was expressed over the role of China in the conflict. The Archbishop said China, a major importer of Sudanese oil, was not interested in bringing peace to the country but only "looking for economic benefit".
He was joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, who recommended a single high level figure to act as a mediator between the feuding parties and called on China to play a "positive" role in peace efforts.
The Archbishops later expressed their concerns in a meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

A news report came out today, stating that you were leading the charge to treat Christian sharing-of-faith in the military as a crime, punishable by court martial.
The news piece to which I refer is here:
In the article, you are quoted as characterizing Christian proselytizing as an act of "treason", "spiritual rape" and suggesting that it is the equivalent of "sexual assault".
To these, I have no comment, other than to affirm your right to have an opinion, no matter HOW preposterous or goofy it is.
It is where you went on to suggest that Christians (in the military) who discuss their faith are "enemies of the Constitution" that I take issue.
Perhaps, Mikey (gotta tell you…..it's kinda hard to take you seriously when you call yourself "Mikey"), you ought to go back and read the Constitution….ALL of it (specifically, with regard to the religion thing, the First Amendment.
Never mind, I know you won't, so, I'll post it here for all to read in its entirety:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Mikey, I'm CERTAIN that you see where it states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…", because I'm certain that this is where you loosely (and incorrectly, by the way) derive your position. (For the sake of clarity: religious proselytizing in ANY public forum does NOT equate to "establishment" of a religion by the state. If you want to truly understand where the Founding Fathers got this philosophy….which I seriously doubt you do…research merry ol' England, where the King DID, in fact, establish an official state religion).
But, Mikey, I'm equally certain that you DON'T see (or understand) the SECOND part of that statement, which says, "…or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…".
NOT included in that statement is "on public property" or "if you're in the military" or "unless you're a Muslim", etc…..
In fact, Mikey, contained within the First Amendment are precisely ZERO prohibitions regarding the free exercise of religion ANYWHERE, ANY TIME, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
So, your characterization of Christians sharing their religion as "enemies to the Constitution" is absurd.
In fact, Mikey, it is YOUR stance (not your opinion, but your desire to LEGISLATE your opinion) that makes YOU, Mikey Weinstein, an enemy of the Constitution.
Oh….and a note to the Pentagon:
You'd better keep this in mind, too. And remember, too, that THIS is why the SECOND Amendment was written.
(No WONDER Liberals hate the Founding Fathers and the Constitution…)
(name withheld)
(City withheld), California (yes….a Conservative from California)
PS- Oh, and Mikey…..might want to change the name of your organization, from "Military Religious Freedom Foundation" to d…..it's FAR more accurate…
The following is a response from MRFF volunteer Andy Kasehagen
(name withheld),
I am a Christian (Episcopalian in fact) who fully supports Mikey's and MRFF's attempt to protect members of the U.S. Military from unconstitutional religious influence in relation to their training, assignment, advancement and retention.
I truly enjoy efforts to proselytize to everyone here at MRFF. In a truly free and open public or private discussion, even one held upon government property, it is both appropriate and appreciated. I then have the freedom (as do you) to demonstrably agree with the proselytized message, disagree or totally ignore with no chance of repercussions. If on the other hand your proselytized message was being delivered to me in a government controlled situation where your official capacity was superior and mine subordinate, your message becomes immediately oppressive due to the loss of my freedoms as listed above.
Let me use the words of another in further explanation:
No one will be prosecuted simply for sharing one's faith in the military. Sharing your faith – in a non-official context – is fine. What's wrong is when it is in a mandatory, official, or any other context in which the power dynamic between the individuals is out of balance (e.g., a commander recommending church attendance to subordinates).
Your obvious willingness to supplant one 1st amend restriction over another is a very self serving tendency of many self proclaimed "strict constructionists". If you have ever voted, I'm sure you're aware that campaigning within close proximity of polling places is prohibited (another restriction on a 1st amendment right). Time, place, and manner restrictions on our 1st amendment rights, including religion, exist for a reason. These restriction are very often due to competing claims of individual rights.
Am I proud as a Christian that Judeo/Christian heritage and morality played a truly significant role in development of the U.S. Constitution & Bill of Rights? You better believe it. However, by adoption of the Constitution, we as a nation from that point forward agreed to be bound to each other under a democratic Man's Law rather than a theocratic Devine Law. To believe otherwise is ignorant, and if done willfully embodies true hatred of our Founding Fathers and Constitution.
To sum up my perspective, I defend both my Christian faith and my Constitution proudly and equally. I simply don't feel compelled to defend one at the expense of the other.
Peace be with you,
Andy Kasehagen
p.s. Oh,…and "Military Freedom-from-religion Foundation" is not our title but you damn well better believe it's part of our considerations at MRFF due to our shared, and sometimes competing, 1stAmendment rights which includes my freedom to ignore your proselytization if I so chose.

Town Haunts by Cathy Spencer - Book Review
Town Haunts is the second novel in the Anna Nolan mystery series by author Cathy Spencer. The tagline - "It takes a witch to catch a ghost" - sums up the novel well, although don't get the wrong idea that it's your average horror-story material. It is a well-written suspenseful mystery with enough drama, romance, and thrills to keep me entertained from chapter to chapter. Cathy's writing and attention to detail made it easy for me to get invested in the characters and stay emerged in the story.
The story is set in a small town where everybody knows one another, which in itself made the book really interesting for me. I enjoyed learning about each character's relationship to one another and the history that got them to where they are in the present. The book is also set in October, right before Halloween, in crisp Autumn weather - making this the perfect time to read the book. It's aptly described as a "cozy mystery" and was a great read while cuddled up and sipping spiced apple tea.
Just to give you an idea of what the book is all about, here is the synopsis of Town Haunts:
Cemetery caretaker Sherman Mason is horrified to hear his dead wife calling to him from her grave. He asks newcomer Tiernay Rae, a gorgeous witch and proprietor of the Healing Hands store, to hold a séance to find out what's troubling his wife's ghost. Tiernay needs a coven to focus her powers, however, so her roguish brother, Greg, suggests that Anna Nolan and her two friends help ‒ "the maiden, the mother, and the crone" as he calls them. But with Halloween fast approaching and the séance unleashing a malicious evil in the small town of Crane, can Tiernay stop it before someone gets hurt, or even killed?
Honestly, I was very impressed with Cathy's writing and her ability to be descriptive enough to draw the reader into the story but not overly descriptive that it gets distracting. She is an independent writer with her own publishing company, Comely Press, and I would love to read her other stories as well.
I highly recommend this book, especially to read in the Fall season. It was hard to put down! It is available as an ebook or a printed version on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and iTunes.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

If there were a full public accounting of our education system's failure, inadequacy and resulting costs, there would be widespread outrage. It's morally and economically vital that we change the status quo.
For education advocates on both sides of the aisle, the 2011 legislative session presents the best opportunity in years to make transformative change. It remains to be seen, however, whether legislators will seize this rare chance to catapult our state forward, or dig in their heels, stick their fingers in their ears, and choose partisan politics over progress.
As someone who has been in the trenches of education reform for more than 20 years, I head into this session cautiously optimistic that the moon and stars may finally be aligned over the Statehouse.
It's no secret that our public schools are not working as well as they should for many students, while completely failing others. For those our schools fail—mainly low-income students and students of color—prospects for productive, happy and successful lives are grim.
The societal cost of failure is staggering, too. Our ability to educate all students to higher levels will determine whether the United States can maintain its position in an increasingly competitive global economy.
Here are a few of the things we need to do now:
• Hold schools and districts accountable for how well they do their jobs. Chronically failing schools and districts need to be shut down or restructured. Mediocre schools and districts need to lose the "good enough" mentality. Our top schools need to reach new heights, because even our best schools are not preparing students to compete with the world's top students.
• Train leaders differently. Successful school leaders need to understand how to use data, how to manage a high-performance staff, and how to direct dollars most effectively. State policy must support, not obstruct, this new generation of school leaders.
• Improve teacher quality. Research shows effective teachers are the most important variable schools can control to enhance student performance. We must not only recruit stronger candidates on the front end, but also prepare them better during their pre-service training. We also must ensure that they have the support they need to excel once they're in the classroom. Most important, we must create fair, meaningful and firm ways of evaluating teachers to reduce the number of ineffective educators while retaining and rewarding high-quality teachers.
• Expand choice and innovation through charter schools, magnet schools and technology while improving existing schools. Right now, throughout the state, there are schools successfully educating even the most disadvantaged students to high levels. Let's identify what works and find ways to do more of it.
Implementing such bold and controversial proposals will be challenging.
To garner the support needed for successful implementation, we must include all stakeholders in the discussion, remain open to new ideas, and avoid rushing to judgment before all the details are known.
Too often in the past, the key players in education have divided into their predictable camps, with loyalists from both parties falling into lockstep. The urgency of the task before us should make all legislators rethink this strategy.
Our president and governor have issued a call to action. As a Democrat, I'm proud of the thoughtful and aggressive reform agenda that President Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan have set for our country.
This session, I will support policies consistent with their goals: accountability with consequences, effective teachers in every classroom, pay for performance, and more choice and innovation in public education.
It is my fervent hope that others in my caucus will join me in working toward these ends. My equally fervent hope is that those who control the education agenda will resist the urge to score ideological points at the risk of alienating those who will ultimately determine its success or failure. •

Key Developers of Super Learning Techniques
1.0: Introduction:
In this article, we would have an overview of the evolvement of the theory and techniques of super learning techniques and through which we consider the transformation of original theory known as 'Suggestopedia'. The term 'Suggestopedia' was coined by Dr.Georgi Lozanov (which was dealt in the first article) to denote its application to a combination of two functional terms, viz, suggestion and pedagogy. This was done to stress the importance of the roles of the educators to use methods of suggestions to make learning a fun, at the same time move them out of frontiers of self-limiting beliefs, and implant in to them a feeling of positiveness. This got changed to 'Accelerated Learning' in the USA partly by way of an answer to the countries cultural mindset and mainly to the adaptation; it underwent by subsequent developers whose contributions provided lot of food for thought in the areas of Multiple Intelligences, Adult Learning etc. These teaching approaches got assimilated and bundled into what we designate today as 'Accelerated Learning Techniques". The objective of this article is to explore the contributions of key developers who dedicated themselves into this field to make it as a professional are in the field of 'Psychology of Education". The International Alliance for Learning (IAL) of the US, (formerly Society of Acceleratative Learning, SALT) has been the front- runner in ushering of new ideas and concepts as it has been developing and this article we would specifically focus our attention on one such important development, viz, Super Learning Techniques.
2.0: Contribution of Marjorie Rosenberg[1]:
There has been a continuing quest on the part of the teachers and researchers to probe into the motivations of learners to acquire mastery of their learning especially in acquiring language capabilities other than the ones from their mother tongue. This had in turn prompted authors like Marjorie Rosenberg to research the instincts of the learners in discovering the resources within themselves and apply them to learn a foreign language.
'Super-learning techniques' can be termed as the application part of the Suggestopedia discussed in the earlier paragraphs and its application in the schools, colleges was developed by Donald Schuster and Charles Grifton (1986) which acquired the name of Accelerative Learning Techniques. The concept besides has extended itself by bringing under its fold the scholarly works of Stephen Kristen, (Second Language Acquisition), James Asher's Total Physical Response and Nuero-linguistic Programme (NLP) and Sensory Activity (and) Processing models of Richard Bundler and John Grindler respectively. In a nutshell, the theory states that 'super-learning' is characterized by specific phases which get formed into a cycle.
2.1: Description of the phases:
The preparatory phase serves as a link between the learners' atmosphere prevailing in the outside world and the learning environment in the class room. This can be in any form ranging from warm-up to activation represented by games or music. The important point to be noted is that it should not be mistaken with such exaggerated statements as the students would have to lie down on the floor to listen to irregular beats of music or dissipate expressions of art/culture. Alternatively, practicing few numbers of vocabulary words in a relaxed state of mind. This has something to do with getting psychologically prepared to the next stage of learning in order to make them purposefully comfortable and may include any of the above in a balanced manner. It is an exercise which involves the use of both the sides of the brain and stimulate the learners to use both of them inspite of the fact that such usage may appear strange and unconnected. In a rigorous form, this is considered as obtaining the permission from the students of a group which according to Michael Grinder (1991) is necessary if the teacher has to communicate successfully with the student and in simple terms, it is the connection of the enjoyment with learning. In the process, active listening is promoted through a number of creative and fun loving methods where the learners are not discouraged in making mistakes.
Active Concert:
In this phase, the actual material is given to the students with background music and the aim of this phase is to encourage the students to think in the target language. It is on the left side of the page whereas the translation is provided in the right side of the page with a view to enable them to refer to it when they do not understand any word. The vocabulary words are given in bold type.
Normally, three types of activities are performed in this stage. The comprehension could be tested, tasks could be assigned to the students relating to the contents, or the teacher can invite questions from the students themselves. Both vocabulary and grammar can be dealt under the decoding process.
Practice and Activation:
This is the phase wherein the transfer of knowledge takes place from the teachers to the students and hence the longest one. They generally assume the forms of dialogue and once the presentation is completed by the teacher, the student resorts to reading the text aloud. .This phase also extends itself into creative writing, role plays, and collaborative communications among the learners. Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory comes into predominant play as kinesthetic and other intelligences of the learners are tapped and applied. It is considered the longest due to its consuming about 80% of the super-learning cycle.
Passive concert:
In this phase, under a background of soothing and relaxing music, the teacher reads out an equally relaxing text which the students listen in a relaxed stated of mind by closing their eyes. It is in this phase, the Baroque music is played with an intention to review what has been read. Tnis phase comes at the end of the lesson. In effect, super-learning has got something to do with the optimal utilization of both the parts of the brain which forms fundamental to any learning. It also amalgamates innumerable developments taking place around the various parts of the globe so that the students get the best out of each one theme.
3.2: Contributions of Rose Ostrander et al;
Rose and Nicholl (1997,2000) advocated super learning techniques to gear the future generation to raise up the fast changing demands of learning on the count that the 21st century would witness a growing scientific development and needs a corresponding scientifically literate society. The earlier works of Rose (1987) stresses the fact that the past method of learning which involved concentration and repetition is not efficient on account of its engagement of only one part of the brain. They further suggested that super learning is a method which works towards freeing of the following in the process of learning: They had also prominently advocated the 8-second cycle which is equillent to a breathing technique in yoga:
1 Being aware of an existence of a block and the removal of the same
2. Does such a learning fulfill a need and if not seek alternate means of learning to fulfill the need
3. Break the limiting memory block and without being judgmental implanting into one's mind a positive pattern of affirmation through any of the Multiple Intelligence Principles of Howard Gardner
4. Expect results gradually eschewing over-night dramatic changes
3.3: Other key contributors and contributions:
The developments in the field have been so rapid that it may be difficult to capture everything in an article of this nature. Nevertheless, we have to mention some of the interesting developments in the filed and leave it to the curiosity of the readers to explore what they think suitable and appropriate for themselves. Jane's Bancroft's Book on 'Suggestopedia' is one such interesting work which provides lots of useful material for generation and application of ideas especially in trying to expand the thinking of Lozanov. The book explores in detail the role of rhythm in the learning process and expounds further of the belief of Lozanov treating it as one of an auto suggestive component of yoga techniques. His genius lies in isolating and treating it as a reserve that could be tapped for learning. .Rhythm further affects the body and mind and it is observed that when the Non-specific Mental Reactivity (N.M.R.) is applied, we can feel the unconscious/involuntary tapping of our foot to music. The baroque music contributes the rhythm and rhythm is nothing but a yogic way of breathing. Mentally focusing on any rhythm, internally or externally, would automatically influence the internal rhythm Thus an unconscious average learner is induced into pranayamic yogic breathing and this in fact was proved to be true by Schuster who had consciously counting the 8 second cycle mentioned earlier..
4.0: Conclusions:
In non-technical terms, super-learning could be applied to any learning and teaching situation to improve the quantity as well as the quality of education. It strives to provide a stress free environment which makes learning an enjoyable experience for the learners and incorporates such yogic techniques having superior values even without the learners being conscious of it leave alone learning it.. Music has an innate nature to sooth the nerves and improves the mental focus. Since the super learning techniques are based on simple technology it can be cost-effective and would ideally suit the developing countries in ensuring quality learning to the future generation.

Has the decade-long Big Dry changed the way Australians view water consumption for good?
During the drought, national and state governments launched a suite of initiatives to promote long-term improvements in water efficiency, and accelerate the uptake of water-saving technologies and practices. Australia is one of the world's biggest consumers of water: prior to the drought Australians were using an average of more than 300 litres per day. But with rising rates, restrictions on outdoor use, widespread adoption of water-saving devices, and campaigns to modify behaviour, average use has dropped by more than one-third.
In southeast Queensland, local government and utilities worked together to reduce water use among 80,000 "high volume" households – those using 800 or more litres per person per day. They conducted behavioural surveys and worked one-on-one to find ways to make savings, such as installing rain capture bins and switching to low-irrigation lawn covers. After the programme, 45% of households were deemed efficient, with daily usage reduced to 145 litres per person.
The Water Corporation of Western Australia's H2ome scheme enlisted households in a 12-month programme involving personal coaching on efficient use and regular meter readings to keep households on track, and successfully lowered usage by 17-19%.
"Australia has gone beyond behaviour change," says Andrew Tucker, who before becoming the Water Strategy Manager for the UK Energy Saving Trust, served as an environmental advisor in Australia. "There is now a cultural shift in the way people use and view water resources. Having gone through such extreme drought, people aren't going back to wasteful practices." – Katherine Rowland

Tap-It Platform
Revolutionize learning with the TAP·it® platform's intended touch technology
TAP·it platform is the first interactive learning station designed to provide accessibility to all students. This technology recognizes the difference between an arm resting upon the screen and a finger or assistive device intentionally "tapping" or selecting an image. Providing an optimal interface for teaching students with special educational needs at their own pace, the TAP·it platform reinforces skills that can be transferred to other computer-based learning applications utilizing the Internet, educational software, or communication devices.
Accessible to students or adults with significant physical or learning disabilities
The TAP·it platform is within reach for students or adults using wheelchairs, walkers or other mobility devices, providing full access to the screen with easy adjustments that adapt to individualized needs. Worries about navigation are eliminated as users can maneuver up to the workstation and have full reach capabilities.
Motorized adjustments provide easy accommodations
Raise the TAP·it platform's screen anywhere to a height of 137 cm or lower it to within 19 cm from the floor with the touch of a button. The 42" interactive, touch-sensitive LCD panel can be tilted from 0 - 90 degrees. This flexibility makes the TAP·it platform infinitely more accessible to physically challenged students and their instructors than stationary, wall-mounted boards.
The TAP·it platform has been independently tested for safety and durability
Resistant to dust, grit, grime and other contaminants, the commercial grade LCD panel is made of shatter-resistant safety glass. Repurposed exclusively for the TAP·it platform, this low-glare screen technology is used by the military and resists marks and scratches. The field-tested platform is counter-balanced, so even if a student or adult leans his full body weight against it, the TAP·it platform will not tip.
Easily move the TAP·it platform where you need it
Mobility is essential for educators who may use the TAP·it platform in multiple environments, from the classroom to therapy settings. Roll the TAP·it platform to the desired location; commercial grade locking casters keep the workstation stable.

Puppies are blessing in every home. They're adorable, fun and mischievous little bundles of joy, and you can't help but love them. Something you don't love? Potty training them.
Like working with a little child, housebreaking a puppy can be trying, exhausting and time consuming. If you're aiming to housebreak your little one, try these tips to make your life a little easier and help your new puppy learn how to go potty outside a bit quicker.
Develop a schedule and stick with it!
Puppies are similar to children in many ways and work best with a solid routine. Every morning, when you wake up, take the puppy outside. Establish convenient, regular times during the day, and do your best to take him out at those certain times every day.
The routine teaches your puppy when they will have the opportunity to go outside and ensures they get to go frequently. The same principle can be used for feedings and exercise as well.
Doing the same things at the same times every day will establish a strong routine for a new puppy. You'll find a good routine will do wonders for your puppy's confidence as well. They'll quickly take their place as a loving family member.
Take frequent potty breaks
The problem with puppies is that they don't yet understand that there is a link between needing to go and actually going. Until they understand you intend for them to wait to go until they're outside, frequency is your friend.
Taking them outside, even when they don't have to go, will help the puppy establish that mental link between needing to go and waiting to go.
Be positive!
Like anyone else, positivity affects positively. When your puppy does his business outside, let him know he's done a good job! Praise him and show him he's on the right track.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but try not to punish him for accidents. That only gives him a negative feeling regarding going to the bathroom and may actually make him have more frequent accidents indoors.
Instead of punishing, positively reinforce the right action. "No, no, no, we go outside." Take him outside, even if he doesn't have to go, to reaffirm the right action without punishing.
Your puppy's need for your approval and praise will drive him to do what you want him to.
Try a crate
Crate training has become a very popular method in recent years. The theory behind it is that dogs do not want to soil in their own beds, for obvious reasons. It reinforces the idea of teaching them to control their bladders and bowels.
Make sure the crate is not too big, but not too small either. When no one is available to take the puppy outside, put him or her in the crate. If he or she does soil the crate, the puppy will not like it very much and will probably do its best not to do it again.
Try using puppy pads

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to extend the compliance date by one year for certain facilities subject to recent amendments to the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. The agency also is announcing that certain facilities will not be eligible for the one-year extension and will have to comply by the current date of Nov. 10, 2010.
Last year, EPA amended the SPCC rule to strengthen certain provisions. Regulated facilities are required to amend and implement these changes as part of their overall SPCC plans. The purpose of the SPCC rule, which was finalized in 1973, is to establish requirements for facilities to prevent a discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. EPA has no SPCC jurisdiction over drilling, production, or workover facilities seaward of the coastline.
The types of facilities not eligible for the proposed extension and that therefore must comply by Nov. 10, 2010, include drilling, production, or workover facilities that are offshore or that have an offshore component, or onshore facilities required to have and submit facility response plans (FRPs), due to the threats these facilities could pose of significant oil spills to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.
The types of facilities that may be eligible for the proposed one-year extension include oil production, farms, electric utility plants, petroleum refining and related industries, chemical manufacturing, food manufacturing, manufacturing facilities using and storing animal fats and vegetable oils, metal and other manufacturing, real estate rental and leasing, retail trade, contract construction, wholesale trade, other commercial, transportation, arts entertainment & recreation, other services (except public administration), petroleum bulk stations and terminals, education, hospitals & other health care, accommodation and food services, fuel oil dealers, gasoline stations, information finance and insurance, mining, warehousing and storage, religious organizations, military installations, and government facilities.
In summary, the proposed rule would:
The proposed amendments do not remove the regulatory requirement for owners or operators of facilities in operation before Aug. 16, 2002 (other than facilities with milk containers described above), to maintain and continue implementing an SPCC plan in accordance with the SPCC regulations then in effect. EPA is seeking comment on whether a shorter extension period (6 to 9 months) is warranted for facilities rather than the proposed one-year extension. In considering a shorter compliance extension period, the agency requests comments on the criteria to consider, such as discharge history, size and type of facility, potential risk posed, and ability to come into compliance.
The public has the opportunity to comment on the proposed rule during a 15-day period following its publication in the Federal Register. More information on the proposed rule is available at www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/spcc/index.htm.

Tennessee is one of the nation's top 10 states for spring turkey hunting. A bountiful turkey flock — which includes the rarely-found pure strains of the eastern subspecies in some areas — helps Scott County stake its claim as one of the go-to places for turkey hunting in the eastern part of the Volunteer State. In 2010, hunters in Scott County set a record by harvesting more than 400 turkeys. The 2013 spring turkey season opens March 30 and continues through May 12. The daily bag limit is one bearded bird (not to exceed four per season).
Other huntable big game animals found in Scott County include whitetail deer, elk and wild boar.
Whitetail Deer
Scott County falls within Tennessee's Unit B management unit for whitetail hunting. The seasons begin with an archery hunt in late September and conclude with a youth-only hunt in mid January. The antlered deer limit is three per year (all seasons combined). The antlerless deer limit is four during archery season, one during muzzleloader season and one on each of the youth hunts. Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour past sunset. Crossbows are legal hunting weaponry in Tennessee. Hunting over bait and the use of dogs is prohibited. Additional regulations can be found below.
2014 season dates:
Archery: Sept. 27-Oct. 24 (antlerless limit: 4)
Muzzleloader: Nov. 8-21 (antlerless limit: 1)
Gun: Nov. 22-Jan. 4 (antlerless limit: 0*)
Young Sportsman: Oct. 25-26, Jan. 10-11 (antlerless limit: 1)
* A non-quota, either-sex hunt is Dec. 22-28. A special Type 94 license is required. The antler less limit is 1.
Wild Turkey
Scott County's wild turkey flock has become plentiful in recent years. A local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Longbeards of the Big South Fork, helps carry out the federation's turkey conservation efforts locally. The season traditionally begins on the Saturday closest to April 1 and closes in mid May. The limit is one bearded bird per day, not to exceed four per season. Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Crossbows are legal hunting weaponry. Hunting over bait is prohibited. Additional regulations can be found below.
Additionally, Scott County has a fall turkey hunt with a two bird limit.
2015 season dates:
Spring: April 4-May 17
Fall (2014): Oct. 11-24
The North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area hosts a limited quota elk hunt each October. The hunt began in 2009 when more than 13,000 hunters applied for an opportunity to harvest one of five bull elk. Tennessee's elk restoration program began on the North Cumberland WMA in December 2000. Today, there are several hundred elk in and around the WMA.
2014 season dates:
Oct. 20-24 (young sportsman hunt Oct. 25-26)
Black Bear
Starting in 2014, an archery-only hunt will be held for black bear. The hunt is limited to areas west of U.S. Hwy. 27, excluding the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area. The use of dogs and bait are prohibited. The limit is one bear. Cubs (75 lbs. or less) or sows with cubs at their side are off-limits.
2014 season dates:
Sept. 27-Oct. 24
Feral Boar
Wild boar can be found in Scott County in the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area, the North Cumberland WMA, and some private lands. Tennessee regulations require a landowner permit before feral boar can be killed on private lands. On public lands, there is a hunting season for feral boar. The North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area and the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area remain two of the last places in Tennessee where hunters can legally hunt feral boar. The hunting season on each parcel of property coincides with the statewide deer hunting seasons. In the Big South Fork, the season continues after deer season closes, until the last day of February. A $5 permit is required and can be purchased from several vendors around the park.
RESOURCES: Purchase a permit
Small Game
A variety of small game and upland bird species can be hunted in Tennessee. Here is a list of 2014 seasons, as provided by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency:
Animals that can be hunted year-round with no bag limits include: raccoon, armadillo, beaver, coyote, sparrow, groundhog, nutria, pigeon, starling and striped skunk.
Fur Bearers
A variety of fur-bearing animals can be hunted with no limit (the exception being bobcat, which has a one-per-day limit). The season dates are Nov. 15 – Feb. 28. Those are: bobcat, fox, mink, muskrat, otter, spotted skunk and weasel.
For a complete list of Tennessee's waterfowl seasons and regulations, click here.
A hunting/fishing license is required to hunt any game animal in Tennessee. For big game, a supplemental big game tag is required. On the North Cumberland WMA, a Type 94 permit is required. For a complete list of license fees, click here.
Safety Zones
While the Big South Fork NRRA is one of the few national park units in the U.S. that permits hunting, there are several safety zones around high-usage areas throughout the park within which hunting or the use of firearms is restricted. See the National Park Service's maps of BSF safety zones (PDF, 600kb).

Concise Analysis of the International Coiled Tubing Market - Forecasts to 2018
04 Mar, 2014, 14:30 GMT
DUBLIN, Mar. 04, 2014
/PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hqp6p6/coiled_tubing) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Coiled Tubing Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.
Coiled tubing is principally used in oil and gas upstream activities. Key services include well clean outs (debris, deposits, paraffin sediments, sand), nitrogen pumping, high-pressure jetting for milling and cleaning, well stimulation, logging, fishing, perforations and drilling, and others.
The CT market grew briskly in the previous decade, especially in the North American region, with not so much presence in other regions. The current market, however, is witnessing shrinking profits in North America but expanding business scope in Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. The active CT fleet count globally also increased moderately in the last three years The overall market is therefore projected to grow at a moderate growth rate during the next five years. Rising activities in shale reservoirs, heavy offshore drilling, and globally surging oil demand could primarily drive the CT service market.
The global market revenue for coiled tubing services was valued over $2 billion in 2012 with nearly 2,000 units of CT fleet.
Ongoing and upcoming developments in offshore drilling and massive shale exploration and production activities are high opportunity areas for the CT service market. Growing energy demand and increasing E&P spending are major drivers for the CT service market.
Geographically, the market has been studied for different regions, such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America, and South America. The value of the market for coiled tubing services is analyzed in detail for all major countries. The study covers different strategies, such as contract agreements, new product launch, and mergers and acquisitions. Schlumberger Ltd (U.S.), Baker Hughes Inc. (U.S.), and Halliburton Co. (U.S.) are the dominant market leaders providing specialized solutions and services.

General McChrystal has spoken to the press about his assessment and the resulting debate within the administration, saying that he welcomes debate of the way forward and is unequivocally not considering resigning. I wouldn't expect him to say anything else. Remember, the specter of resignation was not raised by the General, but reportedly by officers close to him. If General McChrystal spoke of resignation, it would be repeating the same gaff that got another General fired in Korea lo these many years ago.
The General is not insubordinate. He's not going to be insubordinate in the press, either. He's not going to challenge the President's authority to make decisions. He has made his assessment. He has made his decisions about the way forward. He has prepared any requests for further resources that he deems necessary. There is no reason to respond to any decisions prior to their announcement. He also recognizes that the President has to do his due diligence.
policy debate is warranted," McChrystal told the Times. "We should not have any ambiguities, as a nation or a coalition. At the end of the day, we're putting young people in harm's way."
What I can tell readers is exactly what I told them yesterday. There is a lot more to say, in detail, about the things that we have learned as a nation, as an Military, as an Army and as counterinsurgents about what we are doing in Afghanistan. At this point in the conflict, a decision has to be made. The public is playing a role in that decision. We are only as agile and strong as our slowest and least agile member, and once again the public is proving to be that weak sister. They do have influence, and they are exerting a negative influence at a critical moment. It's as if the public were suddenly pressuring FDR to pull out of the Pacific in WW-II, urged by "thinkers" who prognosticate (mostly from civilian standpoints) that "island hopping" is a failed strategy.
It's not all their fault. The public is like a crop of mushrooms; they are kept in the dark and fed fecal matter. The organizations whose jobs are to inform the public, the press and the rest of the mainstream media, cannot be relied upon to provide anything close to an accurate picture of the conflict or the conditions which result in an insurgency in a formerly failed state struggling to become a real nation. There is plenty of truth out there, but the major networks and news organizations will never present it. No one is painting anything like a complete picture of the situation on the ground here or the things being done to resolve issues.
General McChrystal is right; putting people in harm's way needs to be thought through. He has done his thinking. It takes courage to face fire, but it takes another kind of courage to tell young Soldiers and Marines to go and face that fire. We need leaders with courage. They may not face the pain of a bullet's strike, but they face another kind of pain. They need to to have the courage to face that pain. Leaders without courage are less than useful at a time like this. Those who advocate using "surgical" techniques in place of such risks are not demonstrating the kind of courageous leadership that is needed in such "interesting times."
Al Qaeda and the Taliban are counting on just that trait. They are counting… betting their futures… on our less than positive national traits to come bleeding through the "colors that don't run." Those "colors that don't run" are what we see. Many others see a purplish-pinkish smear that has all run together, because in their appraisal, those colors have run plenty.
We are judged by friend and foe by what we do, not what we say. Our colors are beginning to run as the people of the United States begin to listen to the wheezing fat kid in the backs of their skulls in growing numbers. We see the polls over here. The President sees the polls and his judgment is more affected by them than many previous Presidents. Some applaud that condition. I ask for courageous leadership to be shown here. If the weaker strands begin to fail, then the leadership need even more courage to make the decisions that will demonstrate that our word means something. It's not a pride issue; it's a trust issue. We have not proven ourselves trustworthy. We must prove that we have learned that once we begin a project, especially one of this magnitude, all excuses as to why it's okay to quit and walk away only sway our own minds, not those of the rest of the world. Respect for our word is as important in the world as it is when you walk into a bank asking for a loan and they point out that you defaulted on your house. You wish that they would ignore that, but they won't.
The rest of the world won't ignore it, either. And out here, seven years is like ten minutes. That default doesn't roll off of our credit report so easily. We can explain and explain why it's not our fault, but the default on Vietnam will not go away until we have shown that we have learned the real lessons of that conflict. Not living up to our word is only one lesson we didn't learn. If you read the rest of the assessment, you will find that a lot of lessons have been learned. Just as the new captain goes to turn the ship, everyone wants to man the lifeboats.
I stand shaking my head.
Perhaps I need more faith in the American people just like they need more faith in the unproven General and the behaviors he is enforcing here. Perhaps I need to have faith in the leadership who seems to waver, that there is real courage there inside, the kind of courage to face pain and risk loss. Perhaps there is greater understanding that refusing that pain and protecting the self is not smart, it's failure. Perhaps there is broad understanding that another mark in the "L" column brands that "L" on the forehead of every American, just as the stain has not completely faded from the last failure.
In the meantime, there is a decision to be made. Ultimately, it falls on the shoulders of one man who desperately sought that mantle and now wears it. I would expect General McChrystal to say nothing else but what he said to the Times. He has cleared the path for courage to be shown, for our good faith and credit to continue to build. There are many who would cheer our failure, who plead for cowardice. Cowards have latched onto the words, "mission creep" that the President uttered this past weekend. They continue to pressure the President to turn from the hard, exhausting and painful; to embrace the softer, easier path to ruined credit. The President sees, on one hand, a General with a realistic appraisal of a tough situation and a plan to overcome the difficulties, but not without pain. On the other hand he sees the throng with icepacks on their heads, their feet clean of the dust of the ancient land, pleading for him to take that easy path to promised ice cream, to turn from responsibility.
A turning point is reached; the jumping off place. Tension builds as the one man who has taken on the mantle of leadership ponders our course as a nation and the letter we will all wear for decades. The General has spoken and stands waiting. The voices of the icepack-adorned throng grow shrill and strident, wailing and pleading for a man to ease their suffering by turning tail and fleeing from the pain. Advisers with plans of their own beg for the ear, promising less pain and offering mythic Rambos and robots to solve all of his woes, minimizing his pain while giving the illusion of commitment. Still, in the end, one man decides. Courage or cowardice? Risk or safety? Sweat or ice cream? Keep the national word or default and blame the previous signatory, convincing himself that the rest of the world cares who gave our national bond for it to be broken later? In this moment we either continue to redefine our national character or we admit that our weak character was not an anomaly but who we really are. It is now up to one man who sought that responsibility.
We, embroiled in the dust, each fighting in his or her own way, can only watch as our future history is formed before our eyes, our voices gelled into only one man who speaks for us all to the President.
I wouldn't have expected for him to say, in this moment in time, anything else.
Big Blue, do you think that the ANA + ANP can win this fight long term with $120 billion in international financing over 20 years?
What are your thoughts about allowing Russians to teach ANA officers and NCOs at ANA academies inside Afghanistan? Russia restated their offer to do more to train the ANA this year.
What about this idea, super embed one augmented "training" Indian Army division HQs inside Major General Aminullah Karim's Afghan National Army Training Command. The Indian division HQs would report to the CSTC-A/NTM-A command. All current CSTC-A/NTM-A training the ANA would become subordinate to the Indian Army Division HQs.
The ETTs and OMLTs would be separated from CSTC-A/NTM-A and report to a new ISAF division HQs that super embeds with General Staff Chief of Operations Lieutenant General Shir Mohammad Karimi's Army HQs (that the 5 ANA Corps report to.)
Indian and Russian troops cannot be combat troops because Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would FLIP. But this arrangement would allow a significant increase in the number of ANA 2nd Lieutenants, other officers, NCOs, and privates who could be trained at any given point of time.
Another candidate to bring into CSTC-A/NTM-A is China. China would lose as much as NATO from a Quetta Shura Taliban/Haqqani victory in Afghanistan. China is also Afghanistan's largest trading and investment partner. China is already training ANA on Chinese soil on a small scale.
The primary challenge would be to ensure that all ANA are trained according to a common shared doctrine, and are interoperable with each other, the ANP, and the ISAF.
Now this idea is out of left field. In 2001 and 2002 Iran offered to train 20,000 Afghan National Army under US command with US doctrine (since the Iranians have been trained by US doctrine since the 1950s, unlike the Indians and Pakistanis that are trained under British doctrine for example.) The Iranian offer wasn't accepted by VP Cheney and President Bush (under advise from the VP.) Iranians have restated their offer to train the ANA several times (although recently they haven't explicitly stated the offer to train under US command because of the deterioration of US/Iranian relations.) How about bringing Iran into the CSTC-A/NTM-A?
Any thoughts on these ideas?
Blue, you may have seen GenMcCrystal's report to SOD Gates. If not, here is a link to it.
I also believe that the American people are aware of much more than the media depicts. There is a huge support system out here.
I haven't seen any evidence this President is more driven or less driven by polls than any other President before him. He's about par for the course. He's pretty good, based on what we've seen so far, at keeping his cards close to his vest about what he really intends. That's a game he plays with this opponents to get them to show their cards. It works most of the time. I think on this issue though he is struggling to resolve a difficult question that has serious consequences.
What seems to have happened is that McChrystal was asked his opinion and he gave it. This President likes forthright opinions, even if it's an opinion that he might not like. That's a quality to be applauded. Military people need to be allowed to give unpleasant advice. That was an issue in the previous admin under Rumsfeld.
But remember, polls do matter in the sense that they indicate public support. The President needs to gauge to what degree the public might be supportive of this effort. My hope is that he comes to the conclusion that it is worthwhile to convince the public it is essential. But for that to happen the public needs to be open to that process. It's an open question if they are open to that or not. I'm not so sure it can be fairly characterized as lack of resolve, or totally as that. This is an expensive and risky endeavor. The public has been manipulated and, let's face it, brazenly lied to about what occured in Iraq at various times. They are suspicious of the public statements they get about success in these areas now. They need to be treated like grownups and told they might not win, but that the effort is worth it. That's a tough sell, even for this President who has some game in this area.
I thin we are looking at this process the Administration is engaged in the wrong way. They should be willing to reexamine their assumptions about how to go forward. This is a good thing most of the time. This could be a healthy process that in the long run benefits the effort because it lay bares for the American public the rationales for and against in a way that doesn't call the opposing viewpoints baby killers or hippie traitors.
For the record, I'm supportive of the COIN efforts in Afghanistan and I hope the President commits fully to that effort. But don't be fooled by all the hand wringing about this. McChystal is not going to be sacked because some staffer decided it would help their cause if the report was leaked. The Administration needs to construct a solid public argument for our operations in Afghanistan, and it has to be based on more than the drivel we heard in past years.
Politically speaking, its becoming a nightmare for him. Since the republicans are dedicated to negativism no matter what, hes damned either way: If he pulls out, he will be the man who chickened out in Afghanistan. If he follows Mc Chrystals advice, he will be the man who refused the brave marines to fight back, a "buddyfucker" and a coddler of muslim terrorists.
The good part of this is that since he knows that the opposition will demonize him no matter what, he stands free to choose. The one issue wich such as us dont have the parameters for is the economical aspects of the war: If the president sees the investment as likely to break the back of the US economy (as is AQs openly stated plan), then he must make a really tough decision: Either put the country on warfooting through taxes or abandon the effort. In a sense, the republican party are AQs best friends at the moment, because any form for tax increase will be roundly demonized as socialism.
We are still seeing the remnants of Donald Rumsfelds train wreck. Its left the president in a tough position, to put it mildly. Add to this that he is basically a civilian politican as opposed to a "warrior-king" a la Bush, and I dont envy him much.
Interestingly 60 Minutes, of all media outlets, did a very good interview segment with GEN McChrystal. It allows us to take a measure of the man. He's as serious as a stroke. A very straight a talking, impressive leader. The concerning part is that the president has only spoken with him once during his 70 days on the ground in Afghganistan. Interested readers of Afghan Quest can watch it here: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5345009n
I think contemplating this decision has to be free of "cowardice" connotations. Blaming the "wheezing fat kids" back home is a pretty narrow-minded way of looking at it; I believe the domestic US opinion is they support the troops, but they just don't want this to be a waste, same as anyone else. This is Afghanistan we're talking about it; the challenge is quite high. People are actually aware of that, and they're concerned. That there isn't more concern and push for withdrawal even after 8 years being over should be a sign that they are being relatively patient.
I am an experienced B-1 WSO who recently discovered your blog and am boring through it backward. I thought this post most appropriate to write on, as I returned from an OEF tour this fall and experienced Gen McChrystal's change in ROE first hand. It was very difficult to watch as the US Marines poured into Helmand and constantly hesitated to employ us for CAS; however, I understand the intent, and would applaud an effort to exit fixed-wing CAS from the fight to appease the Afghan people…given that we have enough troops on the ground to solidify the deliberate message of such a move. Nothing was more rewarding in a lifetime of work as dropping JDAM danger close, killing their enemy and hearing the JTAC's voice after the splash call, but I have become passionate about this backwards nation and its future for the sake of our security.
I recently volunteered for the AFPAK Hands program to be involved with JTF Phoenix and the expanding PRT role in Afghanistan, and would appreciate your comments as an expert in training and passion for the success of the Afghan people.

After hearing an interview Scott Hanselman did with Scott Cate about JavaScript a while ago, I decided to use one of my presentations into a screen cast. In this two-part screen cast, I cover how scope works in JavaScript and how we can use object literal notation to fake namespaces.
Making JavaScript Less Painful part 1
Making JavaScript Less Painful part 2
I'm still finding my way around screencasts. Eventually I'll upload these to vimeo, screencasts.com,, and youtube as well as making them embeddable and providing embed code.

- - New Dufour 34 (https://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/8404-new-dufour-34-a.html)
New Dufour 34
I spent some time on the new 40 at Sail Chicago and have become enamored with the new Dufour 34. I have not sailed one or even been on one as yet.
Anyone out there that has had the opportunity to look closely at this new model that would like to share your thoughts?
As there are usually many opinions out there I would also like input on Dufour and the quality and design of these new models.
New Dufour 34
See their site:
Notable deficiencies:
Hull-Deck joint is screwed - not bolted
Hull is Cored & Vacuum Bagged
Hull Liners are Bonded In
New Dufour 34
Check out the October issue of Yachting World, they had a review of the Dufour 34.
Goog Luck
New Dufour 34
Would tend to thnk vacuum bagging is an asset, rather than a deficiency, and would certainly want the pans & support grids moulded to the hull - what good would they be if they weren''t? Hinckley builds their boats that way too. Using screws instead of bolts would be an absolute no-go for me. I''d want to check, however, whether they''re sheet metal screws simply holding the fiberglass pieces of the hull and deck together temporarily (because if tthat''s what they are, then it will only be temporarily) ,or whether they are machine screws that are threaded through a plate that has been moulded into the hull along the rail. The latter procedure is followed by some builders, since it enables them to provide the security of bolts (with even better spreading of loads, due to the continuous plate in the hull) at a lower cost. (You only need one guy to install them, instead of having a second guy inside the boat holding the nut.) It can look like they''re simply screws, however, so it would be worthwhile to check. I suspect they might be screws in this case. Dufour''s interior cabinetry has not impressed me with its strenght or solidity, though they may have improved since I last looked. too.
New Dufour 34
Check out the review on the new D34 in the October edition of Pacific Yachts
It''s available online here:
New Dufour 34
I was recently aboard a 34 while at the Long Beach Boat Show.
I liked it better than the comparable Hunter, Catalina, and Beneteaus that were being displayed.
It seemed to be of better quality construction - and had a good layout.
New Dufour 34
Paulk is correct, of course - I meant to say "observations", not deficiencies.
They have a detail dwg, showing a "Screwed" hull-deck joint.
The Deck is bedded /w Sikaflex then Screwed to hull flange. Then Toe-rail is then screwed thru'' both, covering first screw. Like Paulk I view this as a major deficiency, and a tell-tale of overall design/build quality. Quality is always an issue, but MUCH more so with a "Cored" hull. Failing persuasive evidence otherwise,I''d pass.
New Dufour 34
Check out the Dehler 34. Narrower beam and more expensive but better built and more of a "sailors" boat. You get more "stuff" with the Dufour.
Priority Sail in the Chicago area sells Dehlers. Here is the web site and let me know how you made out. As you guessed, I am a Dehler 34 owner.
New Dufour 34
This hull-deck issue is really confusing. I noticed that (if I understand it correctly) the Aerodyne yachts (considered quality yachts) don''t have any screws or bolts through the joint - its "bonded" only with modern material.
The Dufour has Sikaflex for this, with an integrated glassed in wood liner and then two layers of screws as mentioned above.
Are bolts really always better? How many boats have bolts that have worked themself loose, thereby not actually giving any structural support? Screws could be better as far as that is concerned.
It is likely that this whole issue is blown out of proportion. Isn''t it more likely that something else will fail completely in bad wheather (like the crew), before the hull-deck joint fails on almost all boats, no matter how it was put together?
New Dufour 34
Dufour''s construction methods are on a par with other high-end production builders. Both the Classic series and the new 34, 40 and 44 meet Bureau Veritas Standard One and CE Category A, both standards for unrestricted off-shore cruisers ... The hull comes with a 10 year guarantee vs. 5 years for Hunter, Beneteau and Catalina.
