The Fifth Estate's Lynne Blundell reports from Ideaction 2013, FMA Australia's annual conference.
The Fifth Estate's Lynne Blundell reports from Ideaction 2013, FMA Australia's annual conference.
i-FM caught up with Global FM Chairman Duncan Waddell in Australia last week to hear how 'the association for associations' has re-built itself with a clearer focus on goals and outcomes.
This past winter left many businesses counting the cost of long periods of freezing weather.
We all like to celebrate a job well done, but when we look at the budgets we have to work with these days and the level of financial wizardry we're expected to perform, how often can we toast success?
Amy Lyons looks at the emphasis on risk assessment in the new IET Code of Practice aimed at ensuring the safety of electrical equipment in the workplace.
David Lloyd Leisure has a commitment to reduce its CO2 output in 2014 by 20% from its 2010 baseline. Lighting is a key target.
Peter Forshaw explores the case for training and qualifications in the context of job finding and career building within the FM industry.
Since 2010, qualifications in facilities management have been a hot topic. Visit any FM event and you'll be lucky to get away without hearing someone talking about FM qualifications.
John Lambert discusses the importance of training and what aspects need to be considered to ensure a thorough programme is in place.
In tough financial times, it is expected that most organisations will make cutbacks in order to become more sustainable.
Talk to any accountant, doctor or lawyer and you will find that qualifications formed an integral part of the early stage of their careers, and continuing professional development has been a constant throughout.
Martin Pickard, Conference Chair at Workplace Futures 2013, looks back at a long list of challenging issues facing FM but concludes the overall message is a positive one.
Phil Ratcliffe is in FM but stands outside it, too. As a consultant, he has a clear view of what goes on in the industry, as well as keen insight into some of the problems and challenges.

Design Article
Op amps in small-signal audio design - Part 4: Selecting the right op amp (JFET-input types reviewed)
Douglas Self
[Part 1 reviews a brief history of op amps and then looks at various op amp properties from a perspective of audio design. Part 2 looks at distortion in BJT and JFET-input op amps, and using rail bootstrapping to reduce common-mode distortion. Part 3 examines various op amps and their key performance specs from a perspective of audio design.]
Op-Amps Surveyed: JFET Input Types
Op-amps with JFET inputs tend to have higher voltage noise and lower current noise than BJTinput types, and therefore give a better noise performance with high source resistances. Their very low bias currents often allow circuitry to be simplified.
The TL072 Op-Amp
The TL072 is one of the most popular op-amps, having very-high-impedance inputs, with effectively zero bias and offset currents. The JFET input devices give their best noise performance at medium impedances, in the range 1–10 kΩ.
The TL072 has a modest power consumption at typically 1.4 mA per op-amp section, which is significantly less than with the 5532. The slew rate is higher than for the 5532, at 13 V/µs against 9 V/µs. The TL072 is a dual op-amp. There is a single version called the TL071, which has offset null pins.
However, the TL072 is not THD free in the way the 5532 is. In audio usage, distortion depends primarily upon how heavily the output is loaded. The maximum loading is a trade-off between quality and circuit economy, and I would put 2 kΩ as the lower limit. This op-amp is not the first choice for audio use unless the near-zero bias currents (which allow circuit economies by making blocking capacitors unnecessary), the low price, or the modest power consumption are dominant factors.
It is a quirk of this device that the input common-mode range does not extend all the way between the rails. If the common-mode voltage gets to within a couple of volts of the V- rail, the op-amp suffers phase reversal and the inputs swap their polarities. There may be really horrible clipping, where the output hits the bottom rail and then shoots up to hit the top one, or the stage may simply latch up until the power is turned off.
TL072s are relatively relaxed about supply-rail decoupling, though they will sometimes show very visible oscillation if they are at the end of long thin supply tracks. One or two rail-to-rail decoupling capacitors (e.g. 100 nF) per few centimeters is usually sufficient to deal with this, but normal practice is to not take chances, and allow one capacitor per package as with other op-amps.
Because of common-mode distortion, a TL072 in shunt configuration is always more linear. In particular compare the results for 3k3 load in Figures 4.32 and 4.33. At heavier loadings the difference is barely visible because most of the distortion is coming from the output stage.
Figure 4.32: Distortion versus loading for the TL072, with various loads. Shunt-feedback configuration eliminates CM input distortion. Output level 3 Vrms, gain 3.23×, rails ±15 V. No output load except for the feedback resistor. The no-load plot is indistinguishable from that of the testgear alone. Distortion always gets worse as the loading increases. This factor, together with the closed-loop NFB factor, determines the THD
Figure 4.33: Distortion versus loading for the TL072, with various loads. Series-feedback configuration, output level 3 Vrms, gain 3.23×, rails ±15 V. Distortion at 10 kHz with no load is 0.0015% compared with 0.0010% for the shunt configuration. This is due to the 1 Vrms CM signal on the inputs
TL072/71 op-amps are prone to HF oscillation if faced with significant capacitance to ground on the output pin; this is particularly likely when they are used as unity-gain buffers with 100% feedback. A few inches of track can sometimes be enough. This can be cured by an isolating resistor, in the 47–75 Ω range, in series with the output, placed at the op-amp end of the track.
The TL052 Op-Amp
The TL052 from Texas Instruments was designed to be an enhancement of the TL072, and so is naturally compared with it. Most of the improvements are in the DC specifications. The offset voltage is 0.65 mV typical, 1.5 mV max, compared with the TL072's 3 mV typical, 10 mV max. It has half the bias current of the TL072. This is very praiseworthy, but rarely of much relevance to audio.
The distortion, however, is important, and this is worse rather than better. THD performance is rather disappointing. The unloaded THD is low, as shown in Figure 4.34, in series-feedback mode. As usual, practical distortion depends very much on how heavily the output is loaded. Figure 4.35 shows that it deteriorates badly for loads of less than 4k7.
Figure 4.35: Distortion of the TL052 at 5 Vrms output with various loads. At 1 kΩ and 2k2 loading the residual is all crossover distortion at 1 kHz. Gain 3.23, non-inverting (series feedback)
The slew rate is higher than for the TL072 (18 against 13 V/µs) but the lower figure is more than adequate for a full-range output at 20 kHz, so this enhancement is of limited interest. The power consumption is higher, typically 2.3 mA per op-amp section, which is almost twice that of the TL072. Like the TL072, the TL052 is relatively relaxed about supply-rail decoupling. At the time of writing (2009) the TL052 costs at least twice as much as the TL072.
Dr. HD
There are some JFET-input op-amps that have been released since Doug wrote his book that are worth considering:
The LME49880 is a dual op-amp with the usual JFET-input traits of negligible bias currents and low current noise. Voltage noise isn't too shabby at 7 nv/sqrt(Hz). The only drawback is a relatively high input offset voltage of ±5 mV (typ), ±10 mV (max). As one would expect for an LME49xxx part, it has exceptionally low distortion (0.00003 % into 600 ohms; yes, that's four zeros!) and isn't too expensive.
The ADA4627-1 (unity-gain stable) and ADA4637-1 (decompensated), as the part numbers suggest, are decent alternatives to the OPA627/637 with very similar performance but at half the price (still very expensive!).

3. | everclear | ||
Alcholic drink that killed my brother Jo-Jo. Noooooo! Jo-Jo!!!!!!
1. | everclear | ||
A clear liquid with the following properties:
1) 95% alcohol (190 proof). This means 1 shot everclear = about 2 1/2 shots of most other hard liquors 2) Very flammable 3) Has a warning on the bottle that you should NOT drink it straight 4) Nobody really follows the above warning 5) When poured into a shot and consumed, will burn your throat like battery acid would 6) Mixes very well with juice, creating a potent potable called "jungle juice" 7) Most people generally underestimate its power and drink way too much, resulting in regurgitation of dinner and possible stomach-pumping 8) Is not legal in many states, or in some states only in it's 76.5% (153 proof) form 9) Generally about $15 a fifth, but think how much alcohol you're getting... 10) Everclear will not get that girl drunk to the point where you can hit it. It will get her drunk to the point where she'll puke like there's no tomorrow and probably pass out. Stick with regular liquor in this endeavor. 1 shot and you'll feel like you've been stabbed in the throat.
2 shots is the most you should ever give a girl that you have the intention of hooking up with in the next few hours. 3 shots will probably make you puke like never before if you're some dumb 14 year raiding your alcoholic dad's liquor cabinet. 4 shots will send you to the ER if you're the above person. 5 shots will probably kill the same dumb kid. 6 shots will get a 200 lb. guy pretty wasted. 7 shots will make him puke. 8 shots is my personal record. It resulted in serious loss of dinner and a very bad night and morning. If you can break double digits, I'll either be really impressed or sending my regards to your family for the tragic loss. |
2. | everclear | ||
195-proof grain alcohol that can run your fucking car with. seriously. very economical in the creation of mixed drinks, as everclear contains about 250% of the alcohol in most other hard liquors, and has no taste besides that of alcohol. Also, one can spit it into a flame and, quite literally, breathe fire. Taking a straight shot of everclear is like swallowing oven cleaner, and has approximately the same effect on the liver. My roommate drank ten straight shots of everclear last night, and now he's not waking up
He's dead, you dumb fuck |
4. | Everclear | ||
95% alcohol more commonly know as: Liquefied Death Here comes the meat wagon to pick up that dumb shit who drank everclear...
5. | Everclear | ||
AKA "Gas Outta Satan's Ass." This drink is fuckin' illegal in most states. A coma inducing 95% alcohol content will shit-can you in 2 or 3 shots. Not a good thing if you want to keep taking jello shots of a chick's tit. Bacardi 151 pales in comparison. Everclear will ice your ass into the afterlife.
6. | everclear | ||
A drink that is 95% ABV (190 proof)
Common side effects include but are not limited to: loss of balance, stuttering, slurred speech, unfocused sight, violently low judgement, high heart rate, tripping, paranoia, and death. Eddy: Dude! Last night after you passed out you got up, undid your pants, attacked everyone in the room, sat on Jerit's head, and beat Travis! We had to hold you down and put you back on the couch!
Me: Really? I don't remember any of that shit! And when I passed out you, Jerit, and Damien were gone! Travis: Dude, we're serious. And you wouldn't talk you just grunted. Kaleb: Holy shit. Last time I drink Everclear. O_O |
7. | everclear | ||
It's hell the next morning Me: What the hell did I do last night?
Friend: You had a cup of straight everclear and you had your pants down on your waist, we could see your ass, you destroyed our toilet, and we had to hold you up while you walked so you wouldn't fall down! Me: Damn. |

DETROIT — Henrik Zetterberg will play tonight as the Detroit Red Wings take on the St. Louis Blues after missing practice Thursday with a fever and sore throat.
"I had a sore throat and fever for two days," Zetterberg said. "I feel better today. I'll play."
Wings coach Mike Babcock said he'll go with the same lineup as he did Tuesday, which means Brian Lashoff will be a healthy scratch.
Ian White (leg laceration) took part in the optional practice and said he'll be ready to play Tuesday against the Calgary Flames.
"I can't bend it past 120 degrees, so it's still pretty stiff," White said. "Fortunately, skating you probably don't bend your leg even 90 degrees, so skating's pretty easy, no pain doing anything on the ice, just need to get that range of motion back.
"I was actually hoping to play today because I was skating for a few days now, felt fine skating but then the doctor explained if you fall and that leg jack knifes or whatever then it'll blow everything up in there," White added. "I'm aiming for Tuesday, we'll see. It gets a little bit better every day and hopefully I'll be back then."
Babcock will wait and see as well.
"He said he's going to go on Tuesday, I said we'll see after practice and decide if he's going on Tuesday," Babcock said.
White still has stitches in his leg.
"We've got to keep the stitches in there as long as possible because once you start going like that, you know it would rip open if they weren't there," White said. Continued...
Mikael Samuelsson (groin) is getting closer to returning to the ice.
"It's in a matter of a couple of days I'll start skating so that's going to be good," Samuelsson said. "We were more cautious than we've been in the past. I thought I was good to go in training camp, I pulled it a little bit and this time I didn't really pull it but it was still sore. I'm being cautious about it so it doesn't happen again."
Babcock didn't seem like backup goalie Jonas Gustavsson (groin) is close to returning.
"The goaltenders there doesn't seem to be any light here at the end of the tunnel," Babcock said. "As a goalie if you haven't played and you have to win every night how can you put that guy in? Howie can't play every night, like eventually you have to have someone play."

About a Little Mole Who Wants to Know Who It Was that Pooped on its Head. (Seriously.)
Written by a German author, the book tells the story of a mole who wakes up to discover poop on this head. Furious, the mole sets out to discover who did it...
He approaches various animals--birds, cows, rabbits, horses, pigs--and asks them if they pooped on his head. To prove their innocence, the animals poop so that the mole will see that their poop looks different! (!!!)
Finally, he comes across a dog and realizes he has found his culprit.
To get his revenge, the mole (you guessed it) poops on the dog's head.
That's it! How hilarious/awesome is that? I LOVE that it's a classic. We of course brought a copy home for Toby, who doesn't understand it right now, but it will no doubt be his favorite book once he wises up.
Have you ever heard of it? Did you read it when you were little? You can find it in English here. It's officially my new go-to birthday present for little dudes:)

LOL! That's hilarious! I've never seen this book!!
Lemanie's Randomness BlogThat's fantastic, and not only for children it seems.
♥I have never heard of it but Wolf Erlbuch is quite a famous illustrator. But it looks like a funny book and maybe typical Dutch. They once had a show for children and the presentator would ask the children "Who likes to eat a bread of poo" (in dutch: wie heeft er zin in een broodje poep by Ome Willem) And all the children would start screaming Me me me! Hilarous if you look at it back.

It's a brilliant book, I totally agree! It's from some German professor and it has been translated into 27 languages and over 1.8 million copies have been sold. Just saying that loadsa people love it too. :) You can get it in English to read it to Toby in his native: http://www.amazon.com/Story-Little-Mole-Knew-Busines/dp/1856024407/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335803587&sr=8-3-spell amazon covers just about everything!
ReplyDelete I love this book! I brought it back to my brother when I went to Prague few years ago (he was only 12, way too old already but how could I resist?) and since then every time one of us visit another country we bring it back. He has it in French, English, Spanish, Norwegian, Dutch and Portuguese (work in progress, obv!)
ReplyDelete- Ines12:58 PM
I discovered it this year, when my 3YO brought it from school!!!
I was SO surprised when I first saw it! After reading it you can see how hilarious it is and how "serious", the mole going about sizes and shapes of poop quite angry!!! ;DD
BTW we live in Lisbon, Portugal and I guess it is widely available in Europe. Just today I went to my favourite bookshop here in Prague they had a pile of them on the counter, it seems it's very popular in Czech Republic too. I bought another book for my kid, which is also too young to get it... but we should start potty training soon enough and it could be useful... what do you think?
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my absolute favorites when I was a child - almost every kid I know has grown up with it, so it seems so strange, that some countries haven't even heard of it before (I'm from Denmark)! You should definitely get it in English for Toby! He will probably enjoy it and remember it fondly. :-)
ReplyDelete- Jojo Humes Brown1:17 PM
I had to rush upstairs to find my copy....it was from 1999 and was called The Story of the Little Mole who Knew it was None of his Business. I used to read it to my little Girl B(who is now a big girl of 22) Such happy memories, thanks for the reminder. Will now read it my little little one Teddy who at 3 may enjoy it as much as your Toby....Jojo
ReplyDelete my sister got this book for my son, probably two years ago now. of course, since it's not about trucks (or buses, or airplanes, or spaceships), it didn't have quite as much traction as some of his other books. still, i found it quite amusing. :)
i picked out i want my hat back (by Jon Klassen) for my son for his third birthday because i started laughing out loud when i read it in the bookstore. and my parents got him monsters eat whiny children by Bruce Eric Kaplan which is also hilarious (mostly for parents).This was one of our best buys as a baby gift for some hip relaxed parents we know. Then we showed it to a slightly less relaxed relative when they were expecting their first and I would say appalled is a pretty accurate description of their reaction.
I think it's the current generation's "Are You My Mother".- Anonymous4:29 PM
I have never seen as perfect blog as your! You are lovely! This year I used to visit children in a kindergarten and they wanted to hear this story:). Have you ever read about stories about a little mole from the Czech Republic? I am from the Czechc Republic, but I know many people, that read it to their children, eventhough they are teenagers and live abroad...You love it:) so cute! i love how he's running around in a huff with the turd in tact on his head the entire time questioning people.
soudavones.blogspot.com- Suzanne Neilen5:02 PM
I'm dutch and this was my favorite childhood book. I used to pick this book all the time. My parents got sick of all the poop at some point.
It's really funny to see a dutch book on your blog! Did you have fun in Amsterdam. It's a shame you didn't stay until avril 30. Thats Queensday en the best day of all year in the Netherlands. - dodobo5:58 PM
It's not an English, it is a German book. The illustrator is quite famous in Germany and really supergood. His collage influenced work is superb and he did loads of other good stuff - my mom gives me his annual calendar for Christmas every year and I am neither 13, nor 20, no, not even 30, to be honest I am turning 49 this year ;-)
ReplyDelete - Steph9:50 PM
I don't know if it was mentioned already, but in Australia it's called "The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business". I used to read it to my preschool classes when I was teaching. Fun! The kids just thought it was the funniest that the teacher would read a book about poo!!
ReplyDelete Hi, I'm a reader from Seoul Korea! I was so excited to see the poop obsessed mole on your blog! It's actually a really popular childrens book in Korea! I found the book when I was in College and bought it for a gift for just any kid that would come along the way, because whoever would recieve it from me, I knew he/she and the mother would love it! I am married now and I bought it for my first son when i was expecting.. he is now 3 years old and just thinks it's the funniest story ever written.. he loves it so much sometimes he sits me down and forces me to listen to him reading(he memorized how i read it to him!)! This is my first comment on your blog.. I've actualy been a fan of cup of jo for 2 years now!
ReplyDeleteThis book is HUGE in Norway, but the illustrator, Wolf Erlbruch has also written several other books, of which, "The Big Question" is by far my favorite. Not as funny, but breathtakingly beautiful..
http://www.amazon.com/The-Big-Question-Wolf-Erlbruch/dp/1933372036/ref=sr_1_sc_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335901414&sr=1-8-spellwe have this book and our little girl LOVES it...laughs so much! It was actually her american uncle that bought it for her, he read it as a child....so Im assuming you guys have it in the States.
Brilliant little book, although, I do get funny looks from family who dont think its appropriate! I think its a great way to teach something so normal as pooping!
xoWe have this as a plop-up book in english, though we are from Germany, where that book originally comes from. There was a special offer on that english plop-up version, so we bought it. it's the babygirl's favorite book, besides an incredible pop-up book of Narnia, where the lion jumps out of the first page - right into your face :D
yo'll have a lot of fun time with the little mole
http://www.amazon.com/Story-Little-Mole-Knew-Business/dp/1843650959/ref=pd_sim_b_3We just got this book in Japanese when we were visiting Kyoto! It's so funny and made it to my little Roo's favorite book on her shelf!!! I couldn't help to comment because just like 10 minutes ago... she brought the book out and pretended to go to bathroom. It's the time for potty training!
-wakakoI am from the Netherlands and loved the book when I was a little girl! :) Especially the goat and the sound the poop should make, like a quick marching band: rak-tak-tak.
Well as far as I can remember there was a goat in the book as well. But since I'm 27 now... It's been a while I read the book ;)
Nancy- Anonymous6:45 PM
Hi, we are from Germany and my two children loved this book. I had to read it to my son when he was four almost every evening. Right now its my daughters favorite book. Here in Germany you can get childrens prints of the pictures in the book and we have one in the childres bathroom. A lot of our guests remember to read this lovely book. Thanks for your wonderful blogg, you have a lot of fans here in Germany :-)

This is a favourite in our house. We borrowed it from the library and loved it so much we bought a copy (in English). We sometimes re-enact it - using softtoys and cushions etc for the poo - e.g. Dad plays the mole and my sons play the various animals. And I'm the narrator. Always a hit. :)
ReplyDelete I found the original German version in what looks to be a smaller format than this in I don't even remember what bookstore here in the states, I think maybe Borders (RIP)? They used to have a nice German books section and I also got a "Calvin und Hobbes" on the same trip, I believe. Anyway, it's perfect for my elementary understanding of German from having studied it for exactly one semester in college over ten years ago.
My favorite thing, I think, is how in many languages, the title does not even mention the word "poop." The American title seems to be "The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit" and in German I believe it translates to "The Little Mole Who Wanted to Know Who Made This on His Head" if I am remembering the title correctly.This is all very new to me and this article really opened my eyes.Thanks for sharing with us your wisdom.

Larks your post showed up in my email but not on the thread here. Did you delete it or is there something more sinister going on here. You ask.....
Z', when did you take the cabin off and gut her? I missed that. I thought up until these last photos that you'd managed to be reframing and replanking around much of the structure?
It was back I post #168 In October of last year that I went crazy with a sawsall and a crane and ripped it all out. It was rather liberating, now the choices are numerous. Capt. Z.

Not bad thanks, he did sleep a entire 6 hours yesterday night it felt like I woke up after 2 weeks on vacation After some intensive work it's around every 3 hours usually.
It's a interesting idea about the clamps worth to know. For me I kind of like steaming now, once the set up is done it's really not long. I start the steamer when doing the bevel of the plank (Last thing I do on the planks), once done the steamer is ready so I throw the plank in. During that time I gather all the clamps, prepare the surface, clean a bit and 45 minutes later I put the plank in. It's a lot faster and easier with a plank steamed, I broke about 15 clamps when I was doing it without steaming and those are heavy 4" clamps. The steel rod kind of eat the cast iron body over time with lot's of pressure (Even with grease), and the cast iron body twist out of shape over time too...
Anyway that's me, keep me updated on your Nicaragan way would be interetesting to know!
Another day in the boatyard over and I thought I would see what is happening on the WBF (well actually, I just wanted to see if anyone said anything on my thread.....ssiighhhh, nothing....bummer). So I spent the morning measuring where the main mast will go, and where it will go up through the deck, it sits at a 15* degree angle relative to the waterline. Which makes it 7* degree angle on the mast step. Then I figured out where it exits the deck and where the deck beams would be relative to the the mast. The original deck beams 2x3 and were 12 inches on center and had a plywood sub deck with a teak overlay. The new deck beams are 3x3, (and absolutely no plywood near this deck, much less this schooner.) when I laid out the new ones at 12 inch on center they only had eight inches of space in-between them, and this looked very crowded. I looked up Nevins's scantling rules, it specified 12.5 inches of space between beams so I tried 12 inches and looked much better. It will also facilitate deck prisms much better this way. Then I got three more deck beams fitted this afternoon. They are only cut to fit athwart ship, the trimming of the bedding will be done after they are all in place past the foremast so that I am comfortable with the spacing in relation to the mast and the butterfly hatch in between them. Then I will trim the bed and bolt them in place. I forgot my camera today so I could not take pictures. But I'll take some tomorrow. I still am debating on how big of a butterfly hatch to but on the deck between the mast. I am thinking about 3feet athwart ship and 4 or 5 feet for and aft. If I remember right the distance between the mast is 13.5 feet. This would leave about 4 3/4 or 4 1/4 feet between each mast and the butterfly hatch. I have the idea to build a dingy rack to house the dingy over the hatch, while making passages. I'm of a mind to have the dingy right side up with a battened cover to shed water and make it possible to store the oars and dingy's sail and mast inside the dingy. And right side up will allow the butterfly hatches to be opened with the dingy in place. Where as if it were upside down on the hatch, it will have no light or air until the dingy is removed. Any suggestions on the hatch size out there. I was thinking that if it was large enough to pass the stove out through it then it would be big enough for anything on the boat to get in or out. Anyone? Capt. Z.
OK I'll say something......been watching for some time now and constantly impressed by the size of the job, how you are doing it and what will be a great outcome.
If the dinghy rack is high enough, you might be able to stow the dinghy upside down and still have room to open the butterfly hatch, plus have a bit of extra protection for the hatch.
The only drawback that I can think of, is if the hatch needs to be usable as a 'secondary egress' for Coast Guard regulations...this was an issue for the schooner Sultana, IIRC.
One other thing...just because you don't see lots of responses, don't worry! Lots of us are following this thread (and wishing we were there to help!)!
heck yea, I look in everyday.
Mike, Tom, Wiz, and all the rest thanks for letting me know your watching.
Here is the string theory in action! If you already know this just skip down to the pictures, I know that's what you do! No one reads the articles, everyone just wants more pictures. So if your still reading here is string theory. A gravitationally oriented string(we like to call this the gravitationally oriented string) is hung over the mast step. Now at deck level two strings are tied athwart ship parallel to each other (about a foot apart) (we like to call these athwart ship string 'A', and athwart ship string 'B') place a bubble level at both athwart ship string 'A' and athwart ship string 'B', to verify the deck is level. If it is not then the degree out of plum must be added or subtracted from the theoretical angle of the relationship of the gravitationally oriented string and the mast string. Unless the deck at this point is not intended to be level with the waterline in which case calculations must be adjusted to compensate for the differences. But I am getting ahead of myself. So, then another string is then nailed to the center of the spot where the mast will one day reside rooted in Brazilian cherry with a silver dollar under it's heel and a truck on it's head (we like to call this one the mast string). Now the mast string is tied to an other string running fore and aft (we like to call this one the fore and aft string)such that the mast string it can be run fore and aft. This part is not in the picture.
Now the mast string is moved fore and aft (on the fore and aft string) till the relationship between the mast string and the gravitationally oriented string intersect at a 15* degree angle. You will have to take my word for it that the angle you see pictured here is in fact at a 15* degree angle. Now in theory where the mast string exits the deck is the center of where the mast will someday be exiting the deck. Now measure the angle from the mast step and you have the angle to cut the base if the mast
Now that you all understand string theory, let's look at where we have got to so far on the schooner theory
The theory is that some day this will be a schooner!
Looking very close you can see the fore and aft string. This is the heatedly debated point where the juncture of string theory and schooner theory overlap.(YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE! You think that what is going on over on the NACA thread is serious business? That is Childs play compared to this overlap debate.) So back to pure schooner theory, the space between the two aft main deck beams and the three forward main deck beams is the location of the theoretical main mast piercing up proudly like a giant colossus through the main deck. It's beautiful man!!...... Well I mean in theory it's beautiful,....... because it's not really there and you know.....so it can only be ......well, you know ah,..theoretically beautiful.....but I can see it..ok...So ah, just aft the Spanish windless is where the theoretical fore mast will be and I'm not going to say anything about how it will look or anything, just I'm sure you will like it, ok, so, ah, until next time aarrggh matey. Capt. Z.
Finally !!, I truly feel I have grasped the string theory in its entirety.The voluminous text I have read in the past lacked pictures.But you cleared that right up.Onwards and upwards Cap'n.
happy days
Where have we been ? Where are we going ? Why are we here ?
Coarse or fine thread nuts?
Should qualify as an addendum to Chapelle! You have our undivided attention...
Today; the good news is....We put in the rest of the port side shear bolts up to the the fore mast. And cut to fit six deck beams so now the deck beams run up past the foremast.
The bad news.......I burned out an brand new (five days on the job)professional half inch drill.
It is quite a sensation to stand in side the hull with the deck beams over head and get a since of the space. I worked till it was dark today so I didn't get a daily progress picture taken. I'll try to remember to take one in the morning. Capt. Z.
I, for one, am glad that you provided this intro to String/Schooner theory. That NACA foil thread was giving me headaches!
Pictures, Pictures, red hot pictures, new evidence supporting schooner theory! get your pictures here!
I climbed up on the back to get a view looking forward.
This view is from inside the V berth.
so then I climbed up above the V berth and took this picture.
Cleaned up all the nuts and washers on the shelf clamp and put a coat of varnish on them. The part inside the wood and in the outside counter sink hole are treated with a metal protection paint. Also got five beams faired to the shelf, so tomorrow we will continue bed the rest and then sand and varnish these faired bedded beams then drill and bolt them in to place. Enjoy. Capt. Z.
I'm going to steal the line from an old joke...beautiful just f'''kin' beautiful. You Capt'n are an amazing, if not fast guy. Thanks for this thread.
You sir are FAST. It looks as if you'll soundly beat me to the water. My whole boat displaces some small fraction of your ballast alone, and yet I can't seem to pull ahead! I love watching this build. Keep up the good work.
Does anyone remember the lyrics;
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times
Won't leave me alone.
Well today was a stone. I started to work bedding the next beam from where I left off yesterday when my helper started to sand the first beam of the day, he plugged in my porter-cable random orbital sander and turned it on and it went supernova in his hand. It has been my sanding work horse for years. And now it's gone. And then my screen on the new camera started to have dead spots on it. I spent the rest of the day going from store to store only to find no one stocks random orbital sanders in this town. So went to the next town and returned the camera for a new one(that took the store 2 hours to exchange it!!! And I got nothing done. So much for being fast, thanks for the kind words tigerregis and J. Madison. And J. you cannot pull ahead from germany and brazil. Also I noticed your building in Oregon City I have family there and my daughter will be stopping in to visit them next month, that makes us almost like neibors or something. Anyway I too have been following your build and I am looking forward to seeing yours planked. Capt. Z.

Oregon city! We knew it was a small world. Well if she gets tired of visiting relatives and wants to hang out in a boat shop send her my way. Any relative of the Good Captn is welcome around here. (Well maybe not your worst relatives, assuming they're anything like mine.)
As far as burning out the drill goes, it might be a good idea to check your line voltage when you have a good-sized tool running at full power. If you're under 100 volts that might cause trouble. It's easy to check. One guy drills, other guy used voltmeter in the outlet closest to the tool.
Low voltage is hard on tools, and particularly on variable speed reversing tools. The switches get hot and burn out, I think. So if you can find an old-fashioned drill, one speed, one direction, that might last longer. If the label on the tool says that it will work with AC or DC, that's the tool you're looking for.
J.M. I'll tell her. My little brother is getting married there next month. So I recon that there will be a whole passel o' kin folk of mine runnin' round there. So I figure maybe fer visitin' your shop, just my closest kin, hand selected, cream o' the crop type kin folk, allowed over. Besides my daughter that leaves exactly ah oh ah..... Let's just say their a wild and crazy bunch, when you see a wedding with every one in kilts and pagpipes playin' that will be my clan!
Meanwhile back here in Nicaragua I took a picture of a traffic jam while I was out looking for power tools.
Don't you just hate it when some guy is in such a hurry that he keeps pulling his horse farther and farther into the intersection. As if it will make the truck move faster.
The best part of this picture is the cowboy with the Woody and Buzz Lightyear backpack.
While on the other side of town more evidence to support the schooner theory is discovered.
This is the first two main deck beams bolted in.
The bolts will be trimmed back. So do you guys want some input in the build here. I keep going back and forth on how to finish the two lower corners of the beam.
1.-Sand the corner softly rounded over.
2.-Router the corner with an ogee bit or a bead bit.
Let me know what you think-remember, like any presidential election-vote early, vote often.
Capt. Z
I like the ogee bit on the sheer clamp and that would look good on the beam edges too. But a nice round over will be easier to deal with come refinishing time.

I like rounded.
Personal preference is the routed edge, I went through the same process as you trying to decide how to clean up the edges on my H28 sheer clamp and deck beams Z, the routed edge ended up easier and better looking for me in terms of removing splintered edges and hiding chips out of the edges. Although mine isn't as perfect as I'd like it, having done it around all of the existing framing, it looks like a little more effort as gone into the finish than just a round sanded edge.

How about hand planes, to give the edges that look of unique craftsmanship?
I just realized that I have been posting on this thread for one year now! Happy anniversary every one, I hope I get a lot more done in the next year then I did in the last year. The wood delivery delay just really set the nonexistent time schedule back. But we press on.
I got another deck beam bolted in this morning. It seems strange that something so simple can take so long to do. It goes like this
Step. 1. Place beam on shelf (today the beam was only 8.5 feet wide so much easier then the 13.5 feet wide ones I was doing yesterday)
Step. 2. Measure from the bow to both port and starboard ends of the beam to ascertain that the beam is square to the ship. Next measure both port and starboard ends from previous beam to insure the new beam is parallel to the neighbor beam.
Step. 3. Clamp beam in place.
Step. 4. Drill 3/8" hole from the bottom of the shelf clamp up through the beam.
Step. 5. Change drill bit to 1" spade bit and drill countersink hole on top of beam.
Step. 6. Measure depth of hole and measure and cut 3/8 threaded rod (painted with rustproofing).
Step. 7. Planish rod over nut and then insert washer in hole then rod and nut, thread unpainted washer and nut on rod below shelf clamp and tighten.
Step. 8. Trim excess rod and then varnish lower washer and nut, and a second coat of rustproof on top washer and nut.
Prior to all this each beam was cut to fit and then notched to fit flush on the shelf then removed from the boat. Set up on sawhorses sanded and varnished then when dry carried back up the ladder to the deck where the above steps are taken.
I was hoping to get the deck on before the rainy season, but that is looking rather unlikely. So I think that I will have to sew up a boat cover from some awning material. To keep every thing dry. It has been a very wet dry season, and some of the old-timers say that means we are in for a very dry rainy season. That would be hard on the farmers here, but really good for me. So happy Anniversary everyone and have a gulper on me. I believe I shall have my usual ginseng lime coca-cola. It goes like this fill a tall glass with ice squeeze one large lime over ice, add 20 drops of concentrated red panax ginseng extracted and then pour the glass full with coca-cola. Take a hardy swig and enjoy. Cheers me hardies, here's to wooden boats. Capt. Z.
Happy anniversary Z and all the very best wishes for the coming year. Do you have any non existant finish line in that non existant schedule? End of the dry wet season ready for the start of the next wet dry season perhaps? Or the season after that?

If there was (and there certainly is not) a nonexistent schedule it would not have any references to having the deck laid and the hull planked by the next mini dry season (august)!!fact is this post probably doesn't exist either. Besides it is just a schooner theory, which means that it's existence is still in doubt in which case I don't exist either?? I think!? capt zzz....
I'll raise a glass with ya Z in honour of a year on the job.
I'm getting excited seeing those deck beams go on; it's like you're giving your boat it's bones back.

Excellent stuff el capitan! Takes me back to days of working on "larger vessels", oh the pain...
Belated congrats, Captain!
...I was off the Net for a few days and mjust caught up last night. Yes, I hoisted a glass in your honour, and here's to another (whatever time it takes) to complete your rebuild!
"Step. 2. Measure from the bow to both port and starboard ends of the beam to ascertain that the beam is square to the ship. Next measure both port and starboard ends from previous beam to insure the new beam is parallel to the neighbor beam."
Probably too late to help you on this z, but to cut down on all that individual measuring you need to trust your layout. Get a middle beam in and then layout each side from there, both forward and aft. If your beams are 13" O/C, hook a tape on a beam and run 13 and away (don't mark beam centers), 26, 39, etc. keep your tape close to square to the beam and you'll be close enough. Measuring beam to beam can get you in trouble as a 1/16" discrepancy can have your beam placement off by over an inch in ten feet, even though measuring from the bow to each side remains equal. You might not want that forward skylight to end up over a bulkhead. Lookin' good, congrats on the anniversary. / Jim
Jim. Thanks for the help. It is always appreciated. I am familiar with the 1/16" creep. I face an additional challenge with this build, in that since all the fliches were hand hewn in the forest, (chainsaw mostly) and then dragged out to the road, they are not perfect in their dementions. And becuase I am attempting to be true to the idea that this build would be recognized by a builder from the late 18th, early 19th century, I chose to not run them through a planer to make them all exactly the same thickness, but to hand saw the beams from the fliches and then hand plane them to remove the saw marks, and then sand them leaving the slight variations in thickness. I must confess to using an electric sander at this point. (I am not completely crazy). Doing it this way, the beams are all the same height but not the same width, most are within 1/4 inch thickness, but some are as much as an inch wider then all the others, the widest ones I put on either side of the masts. And some are not the exact same from one end to the other of an individual beam. All of this makes it a little tricky to lay up the beams in just the right place before bolting. In this case I opted to keep the space between the beams the same instead of the distance between centers, if ihad kept the dbc the same the negative space between beams would have varied. As for the skylights and bulkheads and such that is where string theory comes in on my center string that I talked about a few post back, I hung strings down to mark where the beams had to go to frame mast and hatches. This way I was able to pretetermine the exact placement of the beams ahead of time as well. I hope that makes sence. Capt. Z
"I hung strings down to mark where the beams had to go to frame mast and hatches. This way I was able to pretetermine the exact placement of the beams ahead of time as well. I hope that makes sence. Capt. Z "
It does now, Z. I had been reading along but perhaps was distracted by the beautiful pictures. Tks for the clarification; I'll try to pay more attention in the future. / Jim
Beaming right along, I have reached the point where there is still a little bit of the old boat left. These are the last four original beams and the breasthook, and the bowsprit. Looking around I noticed the sawsall, you can see it lurking down in the corner of the picture, and the four pound short tail sledgehammer sniffing about. Like all predators they are looking for a weakness.
Here is the side view, it is so tranquil.
And then in just a few quick strokes the sawsall has removed the sick and weak wood from the strong and the sledge has driven it off.
And the side view again, after the carnage. All that's left is some rusty nails and bolts. But they won't last long, whenever there are predators like the mighty sawsall and the short tail sledge around, there will always be a CROWbar or two, waiting to rush in and grab a rusty nail or two.
That was quick! Now if anyone is out there watching this and your thinking that looks like fun I think I'll just go and build a new boat right where that old boat is parked in the boat yard. After all I own a sawsall and a shorty four pounder. A word of advise "UNbuilding an old boat in order to build a new boat is hard work and your docile seeming sawsall sitting so quietly in it's carry case has a voracious appetite and if it is not kept on a short extension cord it will cut and part until there is nothing left of the old boat to be found. Take my word for it sawsalls are not domestic tools, they are wild and dangerous tools and must be handled by some one who can control them. I've got mine back in it's case now. And my arms are really tired right now and feel like spaghetti noodles. I think I am going to go lay down. Capt. Z.
After wrestling with my sawsall all morning. Some friends came by and invited me to go sailing in the afternoon. Alright!!! We loaded up with food and beverages and sailed for about three hours down the coast. To a place called Playa Blonca. Once we got there we strung up a hammock between the forestay and the mast and well I'll let the picture of my feet tell you how it was.
Over on the shore to my left, white flowers were blooming
And on my right the rocks look like an Indian
After much food and beverage was consumed we sailed back to San Juan del Sur. This rock at the mouth of the bay is actually called Indian Head Rock.
I took this right after the sun set so it is a little fuzzy. What a great day. Capt. Z.
Today I finished bolting in the last of the shear shelf, shear clamp, and shear strake. Big sigh! Then started on the breasthook.
I decided it would be easier to install the last full length deck beams starting from the breasthook and working aft to the fore mast. After all the whole deck beams are in it's on to the carlins and short beams. Capt. Z.
Great restoration thread! I just checked out the whole thing. Congratulations on the progress you are making. I feel like a real doof sitting at my desk on the computer typing this reply. You are pushing me further towards selling everything and going 3rd world. Keep it up I will be following along with admiration and jealousy! And oh yah, MORE PICS!
So it's Saterday and and I'm sitting here in a quandary, it has to do with the forward hatch and the anchor chain and locker. One of the changes that I am making to the schooner is to add a second anchor and anchor chain to the bow. Before the anchor chain was stowed in the chain locker in front of the v- berth, 300 feet of it. When I relaunch it will be two lengths of 400 feet of chain. And 2 anchors one port and one starboard. That increases the weight of the anchor chain from 510 pounds in the anchor locker to 1360 pounds. A 850 pounds difference. So I moved the anchor locker back from in front of the v-berth to both sides of the foremast moving that weight aft a little over eight feet. The problem is getting both chains to pass on both sides of the v berth hatch. Since the hatch must be wide enough to fit a grown man through it needs to be about 30 inches plus about 8 inches of framing and lid over hang, so approx. 38". That would mean the windless would have to be about 50 inches wide. I should add here for clarity that the windless is the old fashioned wooden barrel type. Like this one on the Adveturess, only smaller and a little more modern with the bronze rachets for the pawls on either side(circa late 1700's).
(I stole this from MariaSimpson's Rockport Marine web page. http://rockportmarine.blogspot.com/2...adventure.html Thanks guys.)
I feel that if the chain was close to the hatch it would chew it up over time. And if I made the windless wide enough for the chain to pass on either side of the hatch, the windless would look ridiculously wide. If I put the windless next to the Samson post I would have to have a chain pipe running at a 45 degree angle through the v-berth, which is even more ludicrous, as it would make the v-berth virtually unusable. The other option that I have thought of is to put the hatch to the side, by the gunnel. Something like this.
Thanks to A&R way boatbuilding for the picture, I pinched this one too!
And if I did that can I get away with doing it on only one side? Or do I put one on both side for semetry, even though there is only eight feet athort ship at this point.?
This is one of those problems I had put off the final desision till later, figuring that I would come up with the right solution as I worked on the schooner, so now I am at the point where I need to frame in the foredeck to acomadate the hatches and hardware, and I am still not sure which way to go! Any thoughts from anyone. Capt. Z.

On Saturday June 15th, the U-11 Boy's Long Island Junior Bethpage Bombers played the Stonybrook Breakers in the final round of the Waldbaums Youth Soccer Challenge (formerly the Chase Cup) and won by a score of 3-2. Their determination and skill brought them out on top of this single elimination tournament accomplishing something that has not been done in Bethpage Soccer in many years. In the two years that this team has been together they have come in 1st place in two tournaments, 2nd place in one tournament, been awarded the Sportsmanship Award twice, taken the Division Championship one season and placed in the other three seasons and now have become the Waldbaums Challenge Champions. We would like to congratulate the team and wish them luck in the future. Edward Franks Donates Painting Headmaster Dr. Victor Lana gratefully accepts the painting donated by Edward Franks. It will be on permanent display in the main hall of the Bethpage Campus. (Continued on Page 10) Pictured here is the class wearing their shirts and medals.

Ill-MB Pi life prow Pictured here is Mrs. Cordiner's class along with Mrs. Cordiner and Senator Marcellino. The children are proudly wearing their medals and holding their shirts and certificates. Missing from the photo is Andrew Pfeifer who unfortunately was absent on that day. Mrs. Cordiner's first grade class in Central Boulevard School won 2nd Place in the statewide contest, Ima-Green-Nation. On Monday, June 17, 1996 Senator Marcellino and an assistant visited C.B.S. to present each of the 23 students with a medal, a recycling shirt and a certificate. The purpose of the contest is to promote environmental protection awareness. The hope is that if the children become involved with reducing, reusing and recycling, they will encourage their parents to save the world too. If children grow up knowing about the importance of protecting our environment, we will definitely have a better future. The children were very excited to be honored at a special assembly by Senator Marcellino. Many proud parents were present to witness the presentation, and a photo session was held at the conclusion which added to the importance of the moment.

Reply All highlights those moments in today's information-overloaded environment when you forget your adult-self and toss the megaphone to your fifth-grade inner child.
Its main character, Lizzie is a busy-single-woman-with-successful-career-in-the-big-city who has a lot of those moments. Cartoonist Donna A. Lewis, an attorney at Homeland Security, admits she "clearly needs an outlet for the stress of working in the nation's capital." Lewis taught herself to draw in law school (where doodling was the only escape from reality) and to write punch lines in the courtroom (no disrespect to judges, attorneys, plaintiffs or defendants intended).
Lewis comes from "an annoyingly funny family" that provides material faster than she can "translate it into a written product." Now, she says, "The years of listening to their absurd notions about the world are finally providing value to my life." Lewis states that no family members were harmed in the creation of this strip, and some names were left unchanged in order to incriminate those deserving of such.

Here's my lastest post. Teach Phonograms to Early Readers
And here's a Facebook Page I started for my Parent and Child Reading Assistance business. If you visit, you'll see a picture of my first booth at a show called Weekend for Families last weekend. It was so fun to present my business and meet people who are helping children learn to read!
I followed your FB page Michelle! Congratulations and best wishes on your new business.
Thanks Tonya!
A useful post for parents, Michelle :)
Here's a link to a science game I posted where kids practice using a mirror to reflect light to a target. Ultimately kids learn that light travels in a straight line.
This is a great idea, Andrea! What a fun way to learn a little science. My girls will love playing in the dark. They might take a while to understand how to make the light bounce off the mirror but what a fun way to teach that concept.
i really liked this activity Andrea :)
Hi Everyone -
My latest post is on Why We Love the Nat'l Parks Jr. Ranger programs. Not only encouraging families to get outside, but also a wonderful way to get kids to learn about nature, science and history. Most of the activities are free (some have a small fee), come with a great booklet, allow kids to earn patches - And you don't even need to visit a park to start earning rewards as a Jr. Ranger. Such a wonderful program!
We love hiking! thanks for telling us about the Jr. Ranger program!
You're so lucky to live near this. Sounds so cool!
Hi, Jacquie, I commented on your blog but I didn't reply here. So, I love what you wrote. "They" say our children are nature-deprived and programs like this really help children to get outside, get exercise, learn, and find the out of doors exciting. Thanks for much for your blog and posts! Carolyn
