Type of Work and Publication Date
.......James Joyce's "Eveline" is a short story in the genre of naturalism. Naturalism centers on life as it is—without preachment, judgment, or embellishment—and stresses the importance of the environment and heredity in shaping human destiny.
......."Eveline" presents the thoughts of a young woman as she considers whether to leave home and marry or to remain home with her stern father. It was first published on September 10, 1904, in The Irish Homestead, a journal, and later revised and republished in 1914 in The Dubliners, a collection of fifteen of Joyce's short stories.
.......The story begins on an evening in a residential section of Dublin, circa 1900. It ends the same evening at a dock where a night-boat (ferry) awaits passengers bound for a port (probably Liverpool, England) where oceangoing vessels embark for foreign locales.
.......Joyce tells the story in third-person point of view. In the first paragraph, the narrator reports from a distance, as if he is sitting across the room from Eveline. In the second paragraph, the narrator enters the mind of Eveline and reports the rest of the story from there, revealing the thoughts of the title character as she considers whether to remain home or go to Argentina to marry. She reviews the events of her life, comparing the quality of her life in Dublin over the years with the quality of life she believes she would have in Buenos Aires.
Writing and Plot Structure
.......Most of the writing imitates the way the title character would speak if she verbalized her thoughts. Occasionally, Joyce makes a deliberate writing error (such as the omission of a comma) to suggest the flow of Eveline's thoughts. The language is straightforward and easy to understand, although not necessarily easy to interpret, and Joyce makes every word count. Except for the first paragraph, he structures the plot according to the order of Eveline's thoughts as they occur. Her thoughts begin in the present, then flash back, then return to the present. From time to time, they again flash back. Occasionally, Eveline attempts to glimpse the future, speculating on what her life would be like in Argentina.
Eveline: Dublin woman not yet twenty. She lives at home with her father, who threatens her. Her name is a variation of Evelyn.
Mr. Smith: Eveline's father, who mistreats her. The words he was usually fairly bad on Saturday night suggest that he drinks heavily on weekends.
Mrs. Smith: Deceased mother of Eveline.
Frank: Sailor who says he will marry Eveline after they go to Argentina to live.
Eveline's Brothers, Sisters: Eveline identifies only two of them: the oldest, Ernest, who is dead at the time that Eveline reflects on her past, and Harry, who works in the church-decorating business.
Miss Gavin: Supervisor at the Stores (a retail outlet), who watches Eveline closely.
Little Keogh: Crippled boy who was a playmate of Eveline when she was a child.
Two Small Children: Children Eveline takes care of at home. It is not clear who their parents are.
Devines, Waters, Dunns: Playmates of Eveline when she was a child. One, Tizzie Dunn, is dead at the time that Eveline reflects on her past.
Organ Grinder: Italian street entertainer who plays a song that reminds Eveline of the night her mother died. He was also playing on the night of her mother's death.
By Michael J. Cummings.© 2009
.......Eveline Hill looks out the window of her father's Dublin home, reminiscing about her childhood days. She and her brothers and sisters used to play in a field nearby with neighborhood children from the Devine, Waters, and Dunn families. Whenever her father came looking for them with his blackthorn stick, Little Keough, a crippled neighbor boy, would warn her and her siblings.
.......Now everything is changed. Her mother and her brother Ernest are dead. The rest of the Hill children are young adults. Houses now occupy the field where the children played, Tizzie Dunn has died, and the Waters family has moved back to England. The Smith home looks the same, though, with its familiar furnishings. The old yellow photo of a priest still hangs above the harmonium. The priest and her father had been friends at school, and her father shows the photo to visitors, saying, "He is in Melbourne now."
.......Eveline herself is about to leave her childhood home and her job at a retail store, where Miss Gavin is always there to order her around: "Miss Hill, don't you see these ladies are waiting?"
.......In her new home in a far-off land, she will be a married woman who is treated with respect. Her father will not be there to threaten her or treat her the way he did her mother. Though she is going on twenty, she still fears him. When she was very young, he did not treat her as badly as he treated Ernest and Harry. Lately, though, he has been threatening her. Harry usually is not there to take her side, for he spends a lot of time out in the country on his church-decorating business.
.......The Saturday-night arguments with her father over money are a trial. She always gives him all of her pay, and Harry gives him what he can. But try getting money back from him. He always tells Eveline she is a spendthrift and that he will not give her any of his "hard-earned" money. After a time, he yields. But he expects her to buy Sunday dinner.
.......In addition to her job, she has to keep house and tend to the two little children in the household, making sure they get their meals and get to school on time.
.......In spite of her hard life, she has reservations about going to Buenos Aires, Argentina, with Frank to be his wife and live in the home he maintains there. Frank is a kind man, Eveline thinks. After they met, he called her Poppens and always accompanied her home from work. Once, he took her to see The Bohemian Girl, an opera about a young woman abducted by the leader of a gypsy band. Frank would also tell her stories about all the lands he visited serving aboard ships of the Allen Line. When her father found out about the courtship, he forbade her from seeing Frank again. Then she had to meet Frank in secret.
.......On her lap are two letters, one to Harry and one to her father. She remembers that there were times when her father was good company. Only recently, when she was "laid up" in bed, he read to her and made her toast. Years before, when the family had gone on a picnic, he wore his wife's bonnet to make everybody laugh.
.......Still looking out the window, Eveline hears the song of an Italian organ grinder coming from down the street, the same song he played on the night her mother died. The song reminds Eveline of the promise she made to her mother to keep the family together as long as possible. But she believes she has a right to escape with Frank, a right to be happy.
.......It is time to leave. Eveline is with Frank, who is holding her hand. Soldiers are all around with brown bags. The ship calls for passengers with a whistle. Eveline asks God for guidance. Should she go aboard with Frank or turn back?
.......As Frank proceeds, he calls back to her. But Eveline "set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition."
.......Like Ireland itself in the last years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century, Eveline struggles to escape oppression. Her father has ruled her life for as long as she can remember, just as England has for so long ruled directly or indirectly the life of Ireland. But independence for Eveline and Ireland requires bold action. Too often, however, every step forward also produces another step backward. Eveline takes a step, then retreats and ends up as she was before. But there is a glimmer of hope: Eveline has said no to a man in a male-dominated society. But when she returns home, will she have the courage to say no to her father when he makes unreasonable demands? Will she have the courage to begin taking back her life? Or will she continue to languish amid the smell of dusty cretonne and her mother's Gaelic gibberish ringing in her ears?
Environmental Attachment
.......Eveline's attachment to her environment strongly influences her decision to remain in Ireland, as the following passages suggest.
Paragraph 3: Perhaps she would never see again those familiar objects from which she had never dreamed of being divided.
Paragraph 5: In her home anyway she had shelter and food; she had those whom she had known all her life about her.
Paragraph 9: It was hard work—a hard life—but now that she was about to leave it she did not find it a wholly undesirable life.
Paragraph 13: Her father was becoming old lately, she noticed; he would miss her. Sometimes he could be very nice. Not long before, when she had been laid up for a day, he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire. Another day, when their mother was alive, they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth. She remembered her father putting on her mothers bonnet to make the children laugh.
.......Guilt may have been another factor in Eveline's decision to remain in Ireland. After all, she had promised her mother that she would "keep the home together as long as she could." Running away to Argentina would break that promise. And what about the two young children she has been caring for? And what about her father, who "was becoming old lately [and] would miss her"?
.......The narrator hints that Eveline harbors doubts about her relationship with Frank. She considers his good qualities—his kindness, his manliness, his love of music—but never once does she note that he loves her. The closest she comes is this thought in paragraph 18: "She must escape! Frank would save her. He would give her life, perhaps love, too." (The key word here is perhaps.) Nor does Eveline ever note that she loves Frank. When the night-boat is about to embark, she prays to God "to show her what was her duty." Here, duty suggests that she believes her life with Frank would be like her mother's life with her father—or no better than Eveline's life with her father. It may be that her doubts about her relationship with Frank, combined with her attachment to her environment and her feelings of guilt, overcome her desire to escape.
.......Eveline may also have been aware that Buenos Aires had a reputation as a place where young women were often ensnared in a life of prostitution. Was it possible that Frank was luring her into such a life?
Difficult Life of Women in a Male-Dominated Society
.......In Joyce's time, a woman like Eveline generally had to endure male discrimination in every sector of society. At home, a husband or father expected her to submit to his will even when he treated her poorly. In educational institutions, overseers severely limited a woman's opportunities to study for a professional career. In the workplace, employers usually hired a woman only for menial labor. And her pay was far less than that of a male doing the same work. She could not complain about discrimination at the ballot box, for she did not have the right to vote.
.......At the beginning of the story, Eveline's desire to escape a life of drudgery suggests that she believes she will find a new world of equality in Argentina. However, after considering her choices, she seems to believe that life for her in Argentina would be the same as—or possibly even worse than—her life in Ireland.
Emergence From Eden
.......Eveline seems to have enjoyed her childhood, when her father was "not so bad" (paragraph 2) and her mother was alive. She was Eve in the Garden of Eden (the vacant field). Of course, her father now and then invaded her garden with a serpent (the blackthorn stick). Eventually, she had to leave the garden, which was taken over by urban sprawl, and enter the world of hard work and tribulation.
Climax: a Liberating Moment?
.......The climax occurs when Eveline decides not to board the ship while Frank shouts "Come!" (paragraphs 21, 24). Her refusal to obey his command could be a liberating moment for her—if she also refuses to comply with any unreasonable demands of her father.
Who Are the Children Eveline Looks After?
.......After Eveline reminisces about her childhood, the narrator—in presenting Eveline's thoughts—says, "That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up [and] her mother was dead" (paragraph 2). This sentence eliminates the possibility that the children are Eveline's siblings, children born before Mrs. Smith died, unless both of the following apply: (1) Eveline is referring only to the brothers and sisters with whom she grew up; (2) the second part of the deliberate run-on sentence is not governed by the clause before the semicolon.
.......It is possible that the little ones are the children of Harry, Ernest, or one of Eveline's sisters. Perhaps financial reversal, domestic upheaval, or—in the case of Ernest—death required their placement in the care of Eveline.
.......Whatever the case, the mention of the two children is significant in that it casts Eveline in the role of a mother, a role that she may feel she is not ready to take on in a foreign land when she is not even twenty years old. It is also possible that she feels she has a responsibility to the children.
Vocabulary, Symbols, and Allusions
Blackthorn stick: See Emergence From Eden, above.
The Bohemian Girl: Opera by Dublin-born Michael William Balfe (1808-1870) and libretto by Alfred Bunn. It was first performed at Drury Lane Theatre in London on November 27, 1843. The story is about a young woman, Arline, the daughter of a count, who is abducted by the leader of a band of gypsies. An aria in the opera, "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," centers on Arline's childhood memories.
Blessed Mary Alacoque: Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690), French nun of the Visitation order who was canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. She claimed to have visions of Christ in which He asked her to promote devotion to His sacred heart as a symbol of love, mercy, and salvation. Those who take up this devotion, the nun said, would receive help from Christ in obtaining grace, blessings, and salvation. (In the story, the phrase promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque refers to the promises of help Christ made to Blessed Margaret in a vision.) The nun was bedridden for four years after developing paralysis, then made what appeared to be a miraculous recovery. Eveline, of course, suffers from a kind of psychological paralysis in her struggle to escape oppression.
cretonne: Heavy printed cloth, usually of cotton or linen, used to make draperies and upholstery coverings.
Derevaun Seraun: While Eveline looks out the window and inhales the "odour of dusty cretonne" (paragraph 14), she recalls that her mother repeated "Derevaun Seraun"—which is gibberish resembling Irish Gaelic (or Goídelic)—with "foolish insistence" (paragraph 16). Because it is gibberish, it signifies nothing. This fact—together with the phrases "dusty cretonne" and "foolish insistence"—call to mind a famous passage in Shakespeare's Macbeth, when the title character uses the words "dusty" and "fools" and refers to life as a "tale told by an idiot . . . signifying nothing."
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Signifying nothing. (Macbeth: 5, 5, 19-28).
Perhaps "Derevaun Seraun" was Mrs. Smith's way of saying that life in Ireland, circa 1900, was a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.
Dust: The word dusty occurs twice in "Eveline"; dust and dusted each occur once. All the words suggest that Eveline (and Ireland) has a difficult time shaking off the dust of the past in an effort to begin anew.
Eveline: See Emergence From Eden, above.
Field where children played: See Emergence From Eden, above.
Harmonium: Reed instrument resembling an organ. The Smith family's harmonium is broken. It may symbolize the broken harmony in the home, in the heart of Eveline, and in Ireland itself.
Hill of Howth (Howth rhymes with both): Recreation area at the village of Howth on Dublin Bay, north of Dublin. Cliffside walking trails on the hill offer spectacular views of the bay and the Wicklow Mountains.
night-boat: Ferry that carried passengers to England, where ships debarked for foreign ports.
nix: Keeping watch; standing guard.
Patagonians: Natives of Patagonia, a region in southern Argentina between the Andes Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
pavement: In Britain and Ireland, a sidewalk.
shilling: Coin worth one-twentieth of a pound.
sixpence: Coin worth six pennies; half a shilling.
Stores: General retail store in Dublin.
Strait of Magellan: Channel separating the southernmost tip of South America, the island of Tierra del Fuego, and the mainland. The channel connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan (1480?-1521) discovered the strait in 1520 while sailing under a Spanish flag.
Water: Escape; a new beginning. The Waters family returns to England. Eveline considers crossing an ocean to begin anew.
1....Before Eveline decided against leaving Ireland, was she in love with Frank? Or did she simply view him as a means of escape from drudgery?
2....Is Eveline immature?
3....Was Eveline's drudgery typical of young Irish women around 1900?
4....Write a short psychological profile of Eveline. Support your views with passages from the story and quotations from scholarly works that analyze the story..
5....What was the key factor in Eveline's decision to remain in Ireland?

The drop in percentage seems good, especially paired with some solid job growth numbers. There is a fairly disturbing number in the report though, 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force. That means we are discouraging our way out of the recession. It also means that the recovery, when it happens, will be slightly masked by the numbers moving in the other direction. We will know the economy is getting better when people start joining the workforce, once again hopeful that their job search is not in vain. That will increase the unemployment rate, but for positive reasons.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 243,000 in January, and the unemployment rate decreased to 8.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job growth was widespread in the private sector, with large employment gains in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing. Government employment changed little over the month."
"A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation."

I like to get a blood test every 3 to 4 months to make sure that everything is ok. It's primarily to monitor my thyroid medication and iron levels.
I went for this blood test on the 11th of January 2019. I was just back front Seville where I had run 120 miles the previous week and drank the most of a bottle of local good tasty wine every night. The main reason I went to the doctor was to get the flu vaccine, I just had the bloods done as I was there.
I am terrified of needles so getting both an injection and having blood drawn was my worst nightmare. I had the flu vaccine in my left arm and the blood drawn from my right arm. I always get the blood taken from my right arm because the left one goes dead afterwards. The flu vaccine was very unpainful, almost unnoticeable. The bloods were fine too, I can never look but I think there were three vials. The blood left very slowly and I was sweating profusely afterwards.
I've modified my iron supplements recently as the Feosol Complete that I used to take is no longer available. I know take one Active Iron and one Galfer every evening after running with a Yakult. As you can see from the Ferritin graph this appears to be working really well. My ferritin is up to 66, as high as I've ever seen.
My thryoxine dosage is 150mcg every day. I take this in the morning with another yakult and some probiotics (Sona Acidophilus and Biokult). The Thyroxine dose looks like it's just right. The TSH is below 1 and my T4 is just about right. You know the Thyroxine dose anyway just by how you feel.
The other thing that's changed is my Vitamin B12 which has dropped a lot. This is probably due to a combination of less meat and dropping the Berocca supplementation. I think that too much B12 might actually be a bad thing as it's drop correlates with my red blood cell and iron count improving although correlation is not causation.
The local Spanish wine seemed to have no effect on my liver enzymes which were lower if anything. Local wine is best.
Anyway my blood is good.

Draft Final Environmental Assessment East Housing Area Solar Energy Project, Vandenberg AFB, CA
OTH - Other Document
Note: Review per lead The Proposed Action hereinafter "Project" includes leasing land to and entering into a Power Purchase Agreement with a private developer who would design, construct, operate and maintain an unmanned photovoltaic solar energy facility at the former East Housing Area (EHA) on and for the benefit of Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). The portion of the EHA selected for the Proposed Action is approximately 182 acres in size, was cleared of buildings and structures, is mostly graded, and has few environmental constraints. The EHA exhibits topographic and other locational characteristics needed for cost-effective renewable energy generation, including existing on-site presence of key infrastructure (e.g., roads, power lines, water). The Project is projected to provide almost 25 percent of VAFB's electrical energy and is not expected to export energy to PG&E's distribution system. The Project is designed to have a useful life of 20 to 30 years, although the life span could be extended by upgrades and refurbishments. The Project is expected to be operational in 2016.

When will we see more of Peter Capaldi's costume on Doctor Who?
And does an audition video reveal a returning Doctor Who villain? Jessica Lange explains why she's leaving American Horror Story. And Arrow might be laying the foundations for yet another major DC character. Plus, True Blood's casting a love interest for a character you thought might be dead. Spoilers now!
No, not particularly, wait and see. He hasn't actually really started, he's done his first little moment and we're working towards that Doctor, but it's quite a lengthy process and personally I think it's right to let that process run into the next part of the series as that Doctor finds himself. Matt's Doctor changed quite considerably during his first series and we shall allow Peter to find himself. So saying he's a grumpy Scotsman is a gag at the expense of the grumpy Scotsman talking to you now.
Well that's a big question, and it was put to Mark Gatiss the other night at the BFI screening and he was hedging his bets over it.
In a way we feel like we've honoured the Doctor Who history and honoured William Hartnell's memory in a way, so, if that was it, then we'd all be perfectly happy because it feels like the writing and the direction and the performances have all gone down very well with the audience.
If we left it at that I'd be perfectly happy, but if someone came up with the notion of doing it, of course, you know, it's such an honour to be in Doctor Who anyway and to have played such a great iconic actor in such an iconic part of TV history.
You know, all or none - that's what I would have thought. I know Tom did it for longer than anybody else and he's the oldest Doctor but by asking him and not us, it makes you feel like a second-class citizen, a bit.
I'm so glad Peter had the idea of doing our thing. Because it was there for the fans. I know the population at large don't care if all the old Doctors are in it or not but I think there's enough Doctor Who fans who would have loved to have seen us in it. Even though I don't look the same, none of us look exactly the same, but I look very much not the same.
Even if there was a way to get a small part in it, which we would have done with very good grace because we care about giving back because we've been given so much over the years by the fans - their unending devotion, which has been fantastic. It would have been nice to give back to them but it wasn't to happen.
And I didn't expect it to happen but then Peter came up with the idea of the film which is about us trying to get into it [the 50th Anniversary Special]. In a way, I'm glad we didn't do it now [appear in The Day of the Doctor] because I'm so proud of that [The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot].
clip with 4 others in an email that they'd been 'CC'D into when casting another show I can't mention. The other 3 clips were relevant to the show they were casting but this one was marked 'The Master DW2014' (Moff select final review clip)."
I don't know who the actor is but maybe they're going with an 'unknown' to play The Master after casting a 'known' actor in Peter Capaldi to play the 12th Doctor?
No idea how legitimate this is, but if it is, it points to Capaldi's Doctor meeting up with the Master in his first season. You can see the clip below.
It ends up being a lot of time during the year being committed to something. I haven't done that for a long time. It's like doing a stage play between the rehearsal and the run. This is a 6-month commitment every year. That will be four years in a row. I want to have more time to myself I guess. Once it's over and I have a full year ahead of me with nothing to do, who knows? It might not have been the best decision. But I think four years doing something is a sufficient amount of time.
What we really wanted to do was establish ourselves in the first run of four or five episodes, six episodes. With 'Fringe' it took a long time to unfold and figure out what we wanted to do. This is more upfront.
You'll have to pay attention to some small things. Not many people have noticed, but there are these red balls that are hanging in the air and doing things. What are those? How come nobody is reacting to them? The people in the show know what they are, but we don't know what they are. There's a lot of really interesting things that you can look back on later.
That would be awesome! You would have to do a time jump.
[The house] is very important to Ichabod's past. Katrina knows an awful lot about it — and the people who used to live there know an awful lot about Katrina.
It's spooky. And there's this really interesting twist to its history that is super-personal for both characters.
After a fight with Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver is drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity makes a risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows stronger. The Arrow asks Lance to look into Gold, but when the stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy (Colton Haynes) is captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro). John Behring directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Geoff Johns & Ben Sokolowski.
We pretty much get shot out of a cannon. All of the [rosiness] that's been part of our courtship really gets a lot of challenges - in terms of our families and the old-fashioned, old-world views of two species mixing. [Some Wesen have a problem with] mixed relationships and how that affects the Wesen world, and that we're a modern couple breaking the mold. [There's also the issue of] working with the Grimm, being friends with the Grimm, changing the new world order. We're sort of reinventing what the world is about for us.
It explains, where was I for those seven years? Why did I fall off the grid? Why did I turn to this darker path? It basically explains a lot of who Rosalee is in 3.11.

Here's a complete set of photos from episode seven, "Servant to Two Masters."


My story though, starts with a failed attempt at Sixth Form studying Maths, Biology, Physics and Spanish up north, I'd like to say I'm smart or maybe just optimistic (It was in Wakefield, Osset, if your curiosity hits you). I lasted about a month and found myself travelling back home to London. It was October and I felt hopeless as I had no goals or aims in life. I'm sure many of you have felt or feel like this. Its not a happy place to be in. Luckily though, my step dad happens to work with a lot of people who quite often find themselves in that 'not so happy place to be in'. He had suggested that I get on the government apprenticeship website and apply for places. At this point hopelessness isn't too far from desperation so I updated my CV and filled every post I could see.
Looks appealing right? Maybe not, but for me it shouted a few things, firstly there was the fact that I could finally learn how to fix a bicycle puncture, secondly I needed a skill that I could devote my time to and lastly. Lastly your time or my time shouldn't be wasted on considering the "why not's", I needed this so I tried my hardest to make my CV look good for their perspective and used all of the skills I could muster to create a half decent looking covering letter.
To my surprise, I had received a phone call a few days later for an interview with them.
I was 45 minutes early sat in Highbury Corner's McDonalds sipping a latte, reading 'The Guardian' in a suit that gave surrounding folk the impression that I was attending a belated aunt's funeral which was lent to me by my step dad who happens to be at least one size bigger than me. After all that, I was still a teenage Sanchez so I didn't drink coffee and I didn't read. I still think to this day that all of this would have been a good film plot as I honestly tried my hardest in both dramatical style and dedication.
The interview was more about firm handshakes then looking at my CV in detail. They had several questions, mainly with the infamous, "why do you want this role". My response was based on "I want to learn how to fix bicycles, I want to problem solve". As simple and direct my response may have been, all the employer wants to know is if you have a passion that can be applied to that particular job. Be it liking to cycle to be a mechanic or being an intermediate PC gamer to be an IT support technician.
Trial day was postponed to another day due to attire – obviously.
What could you learn from this? Well, that there are dry cleaners that would actually lend you a suit for an interview for free, how nice is that? Or you could borrow your dad's. Proving the point that there is no excuse to be going to interviews in a track suit and trainers, your attire is what the employer see's first and they are the ones who decide when they see you last.
So after an exciting phone call with them wanting to employ me, I was soon to venture on to my very first job and apprenticeship. Knowing little about bicycles in general and with no experience when it came to working in retail this was certainly (in my opinion) the greatest opportunity for a 16 year old living in London.
Fast forwarding through flashbacks of working at Micycle, I remember sliding my way out of many tricky customers, breaking a few things and probably, at some point costing the shop some money. I think the best bit about working in a new place is the way you meet new people. I was introduced to Charlie France (Owner of The Red Bike Shop, now Kin) who took me under his wing teaching me almost everything that he knew. I worked alongside several other amazing mechanics, one of whom still gets to me today as he would play Tibetan Monk throat singing in the workshop, can't say you don't like it until you've heard it.
However, my greatest memories have mostly all derived from there; I was a mere skill-less teenager, who after one year of making mistakes became a 'Professional' and 'Qualified' Cycle technician. Brian, a dear old friend of mine, (ex-manager, now part owner of another one of their stores) once told me, "You are better to make mistakes and learn from them, then to be someone who is too afraid to make mistakes and therefore too afraid to learn".
They kept me on full-time for another year. I began to slip stream their system with a co-worker (Brun a.k.a Swayzak, DJ, Scotsman), we had bikes come in the morning booked in for a Silver Service (Brakes + Gears + Frame + TLC = Almost a new bike without taking the parts off) and then have them collected that same afternoon, I was doing about five to six bikes a day. For a small a shop we once made £30,000 in a month, the owner and my sponsor "Big Matt" (Matthew Hilton, tall bloke with the firmest of handshakes but softest of hearts) invited us for dinner to celebrate. This is what a family run business looked like, smiles all round because we were all enjoying the payoff from our hard work.
As fun as it was, all great things must come to an end as my employment at Micycle was finishing. I was given some fatherly advice from Big Matt who told me that I should go back to college to continue studying as I was out growing the shop and had to move on.
So how could someone like you learn from this? An apprenticeship doesn't have to be office based or adhere to standards set by the current standings of social media or bench marks combined with expectations from your family. Apprenticeships can be as basic as fixing a bicycle or laying cement. The main thing is that you are doing something productive with your time and looking at developing yourself with experience and skills.
You can read what I'm doing now by having a look at my website, it's mainly all cycling based but will also feature my recently finished apprenticeship which involved me entering the IT department of a global fund administration firm.

The Grand Opera House opened on the corner of Main Street and Beale Street in 1890, and was touted as the finest opera house outside New York at the time. Originally used for opera and plays, Col. John D. Hopkins continued the tradition beginning in 1899 and put his name on the theatre sign. The Grand Opera House soon was featuring vaudeville acts, and in 1907 became part of the Orpheum circuit. It was renamed the Orpheum Theatre that same year. In 1923, a fire broke out and the old Orpheum Theatre was burned to the ground. Luckily, the theatre was empty at the time but the largest crowd in its history gathered to watch. (The first Orpheum Theatre has its own page on Cinema Treasures.)
Five years later, on the site of the old theatre, a new Orpheum Theatre was built at a then-staggering cost of $1.5 million. Twice as large as the old theatre, and much more ornate and luxurious, decorated in the style of Francois I, the Memphis Orpheum Theatre was beyond anything the builders of the old opera house could have ever dreamed. It was the last and largest of the Memphis movie palaces.
The Orpheum Theatre opened on November 19, 1928. The auditorium, which originally seated 2,600, was decorated in shades of gold, red and cream, and included a huge stage, orchestra pit, three balconies(one originally a separate 'colored' balcony) and domed ceiling. The Orpheum Theatre also owns a Mighty Wurlizter 3-manual 13 rank organ. The grand lobby was the most spacious in Memphis with its twin staircases, enormous crystal chandeliers and gilded plasterwork. During the 1930's the Orpheum Theatre operated under several managements after the Orpheum circuit bowed out. Entertainments included black performers such as Jimmie Lunceford, films and the occasional girlie show. It challenged the Sunday Blue Laws by serving sandwiches in the lobby with a movie as a bonus and contributed to the laws being overturned.
In 1940, the Orpheum Theatre was purchased by the Malco(M.A. Lightman Co.) chain and switched to a movies-only format. Special events continued to take place there, the organ was maintained and it became the place to see horror movies and Disney films. It survived a threat during the 1960's of being replaced by an office building, happily during the run of "Goldfinger" when lines were around the block. Two stage shows played the Malco Theatre in 1972 and people began to see the theatre as a potential stage venue. The Malco Theatre continued top run first-run films until it closed in 1977.
In 1977, the Memphis Development Foundation acquired the Orpheum Theatre and began booking a variety of events on stage and screen. In 1982-1983 a $5 million renovation project brought the palace back to its 1928 glory after decades of decline. The Orpheum Theatre now contains a patron lounge called the Broadway Club, created when the old commercial spaces on either side of the lobby were connected in the 1983 renovation.
In January 1984, a grand reopening ceremony was held. A second renovation in the early-1990's expanded the stage so that the most complex touring shows could play there.
Today, the Orpheum Theatre is Memphis' premier venue for touring Broadway shows. The Orpheum Theatre has hosted more touring Broadway productions than any other theatre in the US. In addition to its stage shows, the Orpheum Theatre hosts concerts and everyone from the Vienna Boys Choir to Patti LaBelle to Harry Connick, Jr. have graced the stage. It is also the home to two of the city's finest local arts organizations, the Memphis Ballet and the Memphis Opera. Classic movies are screened on a regular basis. The Orpheum Theatre was the cornerstone of the rebirth of Beale Street, and remains a busy, profitable landmark.

Great photo and I so wish that Nashville could claim one of their original downtown theatres/marquees today, but they are all gone.

The May 1 interior photo is beautiful…too bad Nashville doesn't have a theatre like this…anymore!

LM Great picture! This last one really shows off the asymetrical layout. The red brick (middle left) would never have been seen from the sidewalk across the street. Now that there's a park there, it, unfortunatly, is visible (It's a little pocket park with a statue of Elvis) The house left side of the upper gallery (the former segregated blacks only area) only has 4 rows and a cross aisle. The right side has 11 rows (if memory serves). The other two balconies are symetrical with the odd shaped spaces made up in stairways and restrooms. It's an amazing plan to see on paper and then walk the halls and realize how subtly the architects (Rapp & Rapp) worked out the odd shapes they had to work around.

The old Grand Opera House in Memphis, on the site of which the Orpheum was built, is listed in the 1897-98 edition of the Julius Cahn Official Theatrical Guide. It was under the management of Staub, Jefferson, Klaw and Erlanger. Admission prices ranged from 25 cents to $1. There were 747 orchestra seats, 582 balcony seats and 1000 gallery seats, total: 2,329. The proscenium opening was 38 feet wide X 42 feet high, and the stage was 65 feet deep. The theater was on the ground floor and there were 9 members of the house orchestra. There was also a New Lyceum Theatre in Memphis which had 2,010 seats. There were 4 newspapers, the Commercial, Scimitar, Times-Figaro and Herald, and 5 hotels for show folk, the Gayoso, Clarendon, Arlington, Fransioli, and Peabody. The 1897 population of Memphis is listed as 100,000.

That is a very interesting photo of the Orpheum, have not seen that one before. Whatever is on the marquee has been carefully retouched out. Note Milton Slosser's name on the reader board.
If you haven't seen it already, the Memphis Orpheum is on both front and back covers of this quarter's Marquee magazine from the Theatre Historical Society.

2010: Plano Dominoes
Plano City Councilwoman Mabrie Griffith Jackson is telling supporters she will resign that city job as early as Monday to put her name into the race to replace Rep. Brian McCall, R-Plano, who has decided he won't seek an 11th term next year.
by Ross Ramsey Nov. 15, 2009 8 PM Central
State Rep. Brian McCall, R-Plano Credit: House photo
Jackson worked for EDS Corp. and more recently, for Microsoft Corp., and was once a legislative assistant in the Texas House. Her campaign website is still set up for a city council race, but state law requires her to quit that job to seek the legislative post.
McCall, who's never received less than 65 percent of the vote in his House elections, had already drawn an opponent. Wayne Richard was set to run to McCall's right in HD-66. Now that the seat's open — and more open, based on other election results, to Republicans than Democrats. He's not getting involved at this point in the race for his successor.
Jackson was elected to the council in 2008.
It's early in the game, but this and other seats could figure into House Speaker Joe Straus' efforts to win a second term as speaker. He was elected by a large group of Democrats and a relatively small group of Republicans (including McCall) at the beginning of this year. He's on relatively solid ground going into the 2010 elections; he probably gained a Republican seat in Wichita Falls when David Farabee, a Democrat, decided not to seek reelection. That's Republican turf, unless there's a candidate named Farabee. And Jacksonville Democrat Chuck Hopson switched parties a week ago, adding to the GOP's majority in the House.
Conservative Republicans who want to regain control in the House — their guy, Tom Craddick of Midland, lost to Straus in January — would have to do it by winning over some Democrats and by knocking off some moderate Republicans and replacing them with conservatives. Picking off Democrats is a matter of finding people who aren't in prominent positions in Straus' regime. Picking off Republicans is tougher. But districts like McCall's would be the battlegrounds — especially when the incumbents aren't in the way.


Tech executives are confident that the sector will rebound this year, according to a survey, with 31 percent planning to hire more workers.
IT executives are feeling optimistic about a possible sector recovery this year, according to a new survey from CompTIA.
Following a wave of well-deserved pessimism that lasted most of 2009, executives were more upbeat when surveyed by the tech trade association in December. The new outlook prompted the rating for CompTIA's third IT Industry Business Confidence Index to jump 6.3 points to 56.6 out of 100.
With a rating higher than 50, the index now marks the first time positive sentiments outshone negative ones. The first two indexes from July and September of last year both scored under 50.
Over the next six months, IT executives are expecting further growth in the economy, the IT industry, and their own companies. If all goes well, CompTIA expects its confidence index to rise another 6.5 points this year, pushing sentiment firmly into positive territory.
Among IT executives surveyed, 34 percent said they're likely to boost spending over the next six months, and 31 percent plan to hire more staff. On average, most see global IT spending rising 2 percent to 4 percent this year, with growth in the U.S. slightly lower. Executives also forecast that their own IT services will rise anywhere from 2.5 percent to 5.5 percent in 2010.
Identifying growth technologies and markets for the year ahead, those surveyed cited four key areas: security products and services, health care IT, green IT, and virtualization.
Seventy-five percent said consumer tech will increasingly influence corporate tech, 80 percent said more businesses will look at cloud computing models such as software as a service, and 78 percent felt that companies will rely more on telework, virtual offices, and other mobile ways of working.
But those questioned conceded that the economy is by no means out of the woods yet.
"Many macro-economic indicators have improved over the past six months, lending factual support to the positive perceptions of IT executives," Tim Herbert, CompTIA's vice president of research, said Monday in a statement. "Yet some big unknowns still loom, such as unemployment, the impact of public sector debt and the tight lending and credit market. Until these factors start to turn around, exuberance about an economic recovery will rightfully be tempered."
As 2010 unfolds, IT will also face challenges trying to juggle the goal of investing in R&D versus the pressure to rein in costs.
CompTIA, short for the Computer Technology Industry Association, is a nonprofit trade association that offers certification, research, and other services to IT professionals. To compile its Business Confidence Index report, CompTIA surveyed executives from more than 300 U.S. tech companies in mid-December.


Silver Diamine Fluoride is an antimicrobial treatment for infection that causes tooth decay and for the reduction in tooth sensitivity. Silver Diamine Fluoride has been used extensively in numerous countries around the globe for decades and is FDA approve for treating tooth sensitivity. In addition, Silver Diamine Fluoride is being used off label in the United States to arrest the spread of decay in teeth.
Silver Diamine Fluoride is a potent antimicrobial agent used to kill germs that cause cavities. The free silver ion from Silver Diamine Fluoride is absorbed into the bacterial cell and disrupts cellular metabolism which kills the bacteria. When applied to a tooth with a possible cavity, active caries lesions become inactive and the risk of future decay is reduced.
The 'dark scar' caused by the cavity is turned black by the Silver Diamine Fluoride. When this occurs, the dark surface becomes hard to gentle probing. This also reduces sensitivity to hot, cold and sweets. Most importantly, an arrested cavity does not grow in size. Data on this procedure suggests that when all active cavities become inactive, there is a reduced chance of new cavities developing.
Everyone can benefit from the treatment of Silver Diamine Fluoride. Children can have a no needle/no drill treatment to save baby teeth for eating, speaking, smiling and keeping the space for permanent teeth. Adults can manage treatment over time, particularly when dealing with multiple areas of decay. Silver Diamine Fluoride slows or even stops decay from progressing, allowing patients the ability to manage appointment time and expense of future restorative work. It provides a stop gap method of care for frail seniors and physically or mentally challenged patients that can prevent expensive hospital visits while improving quality of life. This treatment can also help manage the side effects of dry mouth caused by medication.
Provides relief for sensitive & painful teeth.
Offers no needle/no drill alternative treatment.
Helps treat decay caused by dry mouth.
Helps stop the spread of decay to other teeth.
Strengthens teeth making them more acid and abrasion resistant.
No known side effects other than staining of the carious tooth structure (dark scar).


Gate valve are normally installed in horizontal pipe runs with the stem vertical. They can also be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs with the stem other than vertical, but may require special construction depending on valve size, service conditions and materials. WHEN PURCHASING VALVES FOR OTHER THAN NORMAL INSTALLATION, THE VALVE ORIENTATION SHOULD BE SPECIFIED.

Last revised : 22 April 2006
The article discusses the issues involved in open file backup. It explains what open files are, gives the reasons why some files are locked and shows how locking is done. Finally, two mechanisms to solve the open file backup problem are suggested.
File locking mechanisms are used in all multiprocessing operating systems. In some, file locking is mandatory (e.g. Microsoft Windows) and in some it's optional (e.g. UNIX).
Below, we will only discuss cases of mandatory locking, since only in such cases do we have to face the problem of open file backup.
Anyone who has ever had to back up important data has faced the following situation: the file to be backed up is skipped when making the backup copy, or there's an error message which says that the system cannot access the file as it is being used by another process.
Fig. 1 Locked (in use) system file copying error
If you have also encountered a similar problem or are going to back up database or system files or other files used by another application to which access is locked by the operating system, you need to read the following text. The short time you spend on reading it will surely pay off and sooner or later you will be able to use the information contained here in practice.
Access rights and sharing modes
Each file-opening process must indicate the access mode and the sharing mode it needs. By indicating the access mode, the process informs the operating system what the file is being opened for. Three access modes are available: read, write, read-and-write. If a given process opens the file only to read its content, it will open a read-only file. If it wants to make some changes, it must open the file as write-only or as read-and-write.
Access mode Description
Open Read It's only allowed to read the file
Open Write It's only allowed to write in the file
Open Read Write Both reading and writing allowed
Table 1. File access modes
Another parameter to be defined by the process that wants to access the file is the sharing mode. This informs the operating system whether the next application (process) trying to open the file should be allowed to do so or whether it should be denied access. Four sharing modes are available: access denied, allow read, allow write, no limitations. These sharing modes enable processes to lock (using the operating system) access to files which they accessed first.
Sharing mode Description
Share Exclusive Other applications cannot access the file
Share Deny Read Other applications can open the file as write-only
Share Deny Write Other applications can open the file as read-only
Share Deny None Other applications can open the file without limitations
Table 2. File sharing modes
Don't confuse file locking mechanisms with protection rules and user rights granted by the system administrator or with file attributes.
In this article, we only focus on the case where the process opens the file using the exclusive lock, which completely denies access to it to other processes, and makes it impossible to read or make a backup copy. We will not discuss the situation where it's impossible to write or delete file as these are issues not related to the data backup process.
Who locks files and why?
File locking mechanisms service to protect data and its structure. Access to a file can be locked (through the operating system) by a process which is already accessing or has created the file. File locking mechanisms allow atomic reading or writing operations. In such operations there is a requirement that the resource (the file or its part) should be unshareable for some time. This means that at a given moment only one process can have a given type of access.
Let us imagine a situation like this: Process A saves calculation results in several locations in the file or changes several records in the database, meanwhile process B is reading the file. Data read by process B may be incoherent and most likely will not be usable.
To avoid the possibility of reading data that are incoherent (e.g. to make a backup) from the point of view of a given application ( e.g. the database system), files are exclusively locked without the right to be read by other processes.
Atomic operations such as writing or reading a given portion of data (transactions), usually take very little time; however, the lock on the file that prevents its being read is, in very many cases, active not only when atomic operations are in process, but from the moment the file is opened by the process until it's closed.
Fig. 2 File open and locked
Such a procedure is used in most cases by database applications, which, pursuant to the assumptions adopted in their design, will be the only "owners" of a database file and will have exclusive access to it. From the point of view of a given database system, it is not necessary for other applications to read such a database file at the same time, even to ensure simultaneous multi-user access to the database. Likewise, another process opening the file could disturb the operation of the database engine, for example, making it impossible to complete transactions in the right time. For these reasons, and to simplify implementation, often the file locks used are active almost all the time, preventing a backup application from making backup copies.
It is system files (e.g. system registry files in Windows NT family systems) that are locked most often, as well as databases (Lotus Notes, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL), mailing system files and graphic program files.
Backup of locked files using Ferro Backup System
Ferro Backup System from version 2.4 upwards makes it possible to back up locked files or files used by other applications. The Open File Manager option is available in the standard version (also in the demo version).
Two scenarios are possible during the backup process when Open File Manager is run by the FBS Worker process module:
the entire file is locked and cannot open as read-only
the file can open as read-only but part of the file is locked
In the first case, Open File Manager will be activated if the standard file opening (using system functions) fails in n/2 attempts. The n parameter stands for the number of file opening attempts and is defined in the FBS Server central management module.
The other situation occurs sometimes for database files and spreadsheets. The database program or spreadsheet may exclusively lock part of a file when writing it. Each backup program may freely open such a read-only file. The problem starts, however, when trying to read a locked fragment – the operation will be interrupted and the system will generate an exception notifying that a given part of the file is locked by another process. In this case FBS Worker reopens the file, this time using Open File Manager, and freely copies the whole file content.
So we already know how and when OFM is activated. Later in the article we will discuss the operation diagram of the open file manager.
Open File Manager – open file backup
When a locked file is encountered, data back-up bypasses the operating system. Open File Manager gains direct access to the hard drive, thus bypassing operating system file locks. This way it can read all information stored on the disc independently of other applications and of the operating system itself.
A cluster is the smallest single data portion available from the file system. Each file occupies a given number of clusters on the disc, which number depends on the file size and on the size of clusters. The cluster size is fixed and determined when formatting the partition (FAT) or volume (NTFS). A file can be saved in consecutive clusters or it can be fragmented, with its respective parts stored in different disc locations. Information on which clusters are allocated to a given file is stored in the allocation table. For FAT it's the File Allocation Table, and for NTFS, the Master File Table. To read the file, then, first you need to read the file data from the allocation table, whose structure is completely different for FAT and NTFS. Open File Manager supports both file systems, which can likewise come in different versions: FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS 4.0, NTFS 5.0, NTFS 5.1.
Fig. 3 Disc divided into NTFS and FAT volumes
Therefore, the low-level disc access delivered by Open File Manager consists in loading the allocation table, reading the virtual and logical location of clusters that show fragments of a given file, and reading data stored in those clusters. OFM uses additional techniques to prevent incoherent data from being read. If a file is read by OFM, it means that it's coherent. For databases, this will be a post-transaction status.
Comparison of Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and Ferro Backup System OFM
In Windows XP and Windows 2003, a volume shadow copy service has been introduced. This service offers, among other things, backup of locked files. It enables any file to be opened and copied at any time. Unfortunately, the VSS application is very limited, so it cannot be used in many situations.
Fig. 4 Operation diagram of Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
As we have already mentioned, this service allows backup of locked files, but both the back-up program and the program that locked the file must be VSS-compliant. This means that the application (e.g. the database application) whose files we want to back up must be dedicated for the Windows XP/2003 platform and use shadow copy mechanisms. At present, few application of brands other than Microsoft are compatible with this technology. Besides, the backup application must also be VSS-compliant. The backup program attached to Windows XP and Windows Server does not offer such capability.
Another VSS limitation is that the backup application, the application that has locked the file and the file itself all have to be on the same computer. If the file is locked by an application remotely run on a different computer, then the backup process will not be successful. If the file and the application that has exclusive access to it are on the same computer, but the backup application attempts to read the file over the network, then the backup will not be effective, either.
Another inconvenience is that volume shadow copying requires adequate free disc space. This space is used to make volume snapshots. If there's not enough free space on the disc, then backup of locked files will not be possible, either.
There are, however, applications where VSS will work better than FBS OFM. If we have a server operating under MS Windows Server 2003, running programs such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 operating on large databases, then it's better to use the volume shadow copy service and an adequate backup program compatible with this technology.
However, the aforementioned limitations make the applicability of the volume shadow copy mechanisms for open file backup quite limited:
The service is only available in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
The backup software and business software must be VSS-compliant
The backup software, business software and the locked file must be on the same computer.
Additional disc space is required
The open file backup process embedded in Ferro Backup System does not have those limitations. OFM operates under all systems from the Windows NT family (NT, 2000, XP, 2003). It offers backup of files locked by applications operating on remote computers and requires no free disc space.

Browsing Imgur one day I saw some guys that made a duct tape canoe, and decided to try my hand at the same. I saw a few other Instructables on this site that made kayaks or canoes, but they seemed a little smaller in scale and I wanted to build one I could use more than once and for it to be comfortable and enjoyable. Using a few ideas pulled from other DIYers, my wife and I built a canoe that we could both enjoy!
Edit: Here's the video of our launch!
*We definitely recommend life jackets, we just took a small test in relatively shallow water since its already winter and we wanted to avoid getting wet at all costs. We also learned, as you can see in the video, that kayak-style paddles was a bad idea. We're going to cut the ends off and make them typical oars.
Cut 2 sections of the 3/4" pipe into 14' lengths, and 2 more into about 13'8" lengths. I wanted the bottom of the canoe to be a little more narrow than the top, so the 14' lengths are for the top and the others for the bottom.
Wanting the canoe to be a little sturdier than just being held together by duct tape, I used an idea from this guy's pvc kayak (https://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-Tape-and-PVC-...) to make some guiding pvc pipe to help hold everything in place, sort of like open-faced pvc connectors. Using 1" pipe, I cut a few 6" sections of pipe down the middle, leaving me with two long semicircle-ish lengths of pipe. The 1" pipe cups the 3/4" pipe very snugly, so I could heat the middle of the sections (to make bending easier) and then bend it into my own open connector and apply where needed. This way I could still get the long sloping curve of a canoe (I originally planned on using normal PVC connectors, but then the canoe would be very boxy and can't curve normally).
I cut and bent two "V" shape sections of the 1" pipe (from here on known as open-faced connectors, or OFCs) to help hold the ends of the 14' pipes together, which would be placed on the inside of the ends and and 13'8" pipes together, giving me 2 large pointed ovals to use as my upper and lower frames. I cut the ends of the 14' and 13'8" pipes at a sharp angle so they could be flat when they meet at the ends as shown in picture #4. The "V" shape OFCs were applied with pvc cement and then taped on, holding my 2 upper frame lengths together and my 2 lower frame lengths together.
I made more 90 degree OFCs to hold the rest of the guiding pieces together so that it looked like Picture #5 - giving me a basic frame to work wtih.
Note: I made the middle of the canoe about 2' high and the ends about 2'6" high - more like a normal canoe shape would be.
Here I needed to add more support for the canoe so that it wasn't very flimsy and would hold up when the water pressure was applied.
As shown in the canoe diagram, the open top of the canoe typically has 2 thwarts and a yoke spanning the width, as well as a seat for each person. Those pieces were added while leaving space for my two seats (shown in the picture as a reference).
I also added 6 more pipe lengths to stabilize the bottom (3 on each front and back half), and 4 on each side of the canoe (2 towards the front and 2 towards the back), making 8 total on the sides.
Each section of pipe was added by using 2 OFCs bent in 90 degree angles to hold the new piece to both the upper and lower frame, with pvc cement and duct tape to guarantee it wouldn't move. If you look at the closest section of Picture #2 you can get an idea for how this worked.
Sorry I should have taken better pictures of this part!
I bought painters plastic to make it water proof, since I didn't trust the duct tape to do the job, especially once it got wet. The 25'x10' piece I bought made sure that I could wrap the whole canoe in one go, leaving no spaces for leaks. I laid it out on the ground, set the canoe on it, and cut/taped it to fit.
One I had the painters plastic on, I got out the duct tape and went to town. I started from the back and moved towards the front, so when using the canoe the water wouldn't be peeling away at the tape (if that makes sense). Kind of like shingles on a roof, the water runs the direction of the overlapping tape for better protection.
I bought some cheap plastic school-type chairs off Craigslist for about $10, drilled the legs off, and mounted them on some 2'x3' pieces of wood I picked up from Home Depot. I used some blocks from the scrap pile so they sat a little higher off the base wood so that we weren't sitting so low.
We discovered that kayak-type paddles don't work very well for something so wide, so in the future we'll cut the ends off and just make them oars.
Taped it up so water wouldn't get to the wood and make it waterlogged!
Took it out to Utah Lake to test out and it worked like a dream! My wife and I were able to get in and paddle around no problem. It only sat about 6" down in the water, and since it was about 2' tall in the middle (and taller at the ends, as a normal canoe would be) we weren't in any danger of getting wet.
We didn't finish it until winter had started, so its now back in storage and waiting its shot at some sunshine!
Hope you enjoyed this and if anything was unclear let me know!
I'd like to know how wide it was in the end, and also how long and wide were the duct tape rolls.
Great DIY! Looks like y'all had fun with this project! Keep up the great brain work! There's nothing like seeing a plan come together!
since you took the chair legs off anyway, would stadium seats sit at the same height in the canoe?
For your next project, look up 'plywood fiberglass boat building'. I bought some plans for a 10' boat, for sail, row, motor. You cut out 1/4" plywood for the hull, do the seams with 6" wide fiberglass tape, then fiberglass cloth both sides. A LOT more work, heavier, but it's not hard at all. And for a couple hundred bucks, you get a real boat.
I'd suggest a skin on frame canoe either from green wood or cheap construction lumber. No glue at all, everything lashed. You can cover it in clear Vinyl or painted polyester fabric. Varnish or oil the frame.
Either use traditional bent in ribs or plywood frames.
Such a boat would be really cheap (under 100 bucks) and the frame would last a lifetime. The last picture in my first instructable shows a 2m kids canoe built that way.
Rather then plywood use foam insulation you can buy from lowes in a 4x8 sheet. It can be cut with a razer and shaped any way you wont it. then cover it with fiberglass. very strong, durable and light.
What a beautiful boat! Was there any trial and error or did you just go straight from conception to completion? I really want to try this next summer, how do you think it will handle on a lazy river?
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Actually it worked from conception to completion - but there was a LOT of conception. I went over several plans and thought about it for weeks before I went about building it. It would handle a lazy river no problem, as long as the water wasn't too shallow and you didn't hit the edge. If you scraped the bottom of the river you'd probably tear it wide open, but the benefit is you can always tape it right back up!
Friendly warning though -- burning PVC (or using a heat gun to melt, as mentioned in the comments) releases some pretty nasty stuff. The 'C' in PVC stands for Chloride, so you want to make sure you have plenty of ventilation and/or protection. You may want to add a disclaimer to the 'ible, since I learned this from reading other PVC related ones myself.
This is awesome! If any of my students came to me with this I would be so happy. This is a fantastic fun project. Keep doing something, you have a wonderful imagination. Keep safe, enjoy life.
I agree. Unfortunately at this point its quite a bit of work to shave that off the height, I saw some other canoe/kayaks on this site that sat too low in the water so I was being cautious.
Great job. Don't pay atention to comments critical of nomenclature or paddling style. If you want to sit with back support in your canoe than DO IT!. That is one of the benifits of DIY it you can design it to be to your liking. My bigest question is; How much does it weigh?
Thanks for the support - I would much rather sit comfortably in a chair than do anything else!


The weather outside may be frightful, but these new Planday features will make scheduling feel delightful!
The Schedule is at the heart of Planday, and it's the most used part of the platform. We've taken a lot of customer feedback into account over the last few months, and are excited to announce the following features and design updates based on what you've had to say.
We've updated the design for the edit shift option, making it easier to get an overview of a shift's details from one place. You can create and edit a shift, as well as add breaks, approve it for payroll, and add comments.
You can now hide a day from the Schedule, enabling you to work in draft mode without employees seeing your changes until you're ready to show the day again. To hide a day, click the eye icon under the day of the week. You can also hide longer periods by going to Schedule > Tools > Hide/show period.
Customize your schedule even further by adding a title or note to a day. A note is only visible to those with Schedule Admin access, so it's useful for reminders like adding more people to busy periods. The title of a day is visible to all users, so it's best for sharing special events.
When editing a shift, you can now see the shift's edit history. This makes it easy for you to get to the bottom of any scheduling changes. This feature is especially useful if you have a large business with multiple schedule managers.
If you need a batch of identical shifts, simply copy a shift as you create it. You can combine this feature with our drag and drop feature to create multiple identical shifts, then drag and drop them to where you need them on the Schedule.
We've updated how you view your expected revenue in the Schedule. At the bottom of your schedule, you can see the hours worked, your payroll costs, your revenue, the percentage of revenue you pay in salaries, and how that aligns with your targets. All of this can be seen per day, week, or 2 weeks. With this feature, you can instantly see an in-depth report on your business metrics as you build your schedule.
This feature is only available on Plus plans. Read more on how to set up revenue in our Help Center.
We're really excited to introduce the new month view! There's a lot of functionality packed into this little feature. Here, you can filter shifts by status (open, approved, for sale, etc.) and shift type (sick, absent, late, etc.). These filters are also available in all views: Employees, Groups, and Positions.
The People section has undergone a design update to help you add, edit, and filter employees in less time. We've added a new Tools menu in the top right, so you can quickly export data, see log in statistics, get an overview of your documents, and send logins to employees.
You can decide the type of information that's visible in your People list (email address, phone number, position, etc.), so you have an overview of the information that is most relevant to you.
If you need more advanced information for your employees, you can use custom fields to add things like allergies, shirt size, etc. This allows you to create a totally custom employee profile. Set up custom fields by going to Settings > People > Employee form setup > Edit.
We've also updated your options for editing an employee's profile. Go to the People section, and click on the pencil to the right of any employee. From here, you can change more detailed information like username, password, upcoming shifts, vacation, and notes. You can also add an employee's monthly salary. This allows you to fully customize each employee's profile to fit your specific HR needs.
We've added a quick edit option to the People section, so now you can edit the most commonly changed information, like which department or groups an employee is a member of. Simply click on an employee from the People section to quickly edit their details.
If you need to edit an employee's information further, you can jump to the full-view employee editor to update details such as their salary or address by clicking on the pencil to the right of an employee.
Now when you invite an employee to join your Planday account, you can send their contract at the same time, making your onboarding process quick and smooth. If you want to send a contract at a later date, you can do so from the full-view employee editor.
If you want to change an employee's security access level, you can now quickly do so from the People section. From here, you can decide whether or not an employee should have Admin, HR manager, or Schedule manager privileges.
The mobile app is a great way to update the schedule, message employees, and manage HR processes on the go. We've refreshed the app design, and added new functionality that will make working from any device faster.
We've refreshed the layout and design of the Schedule 朗 The menu from the Schedule has more structure, so you can change between different date ranges, views, and Departments. We've also updated the user interface, making it cleaner and faster to use.
You'll notice cleaner, sleeker Overview and Account sections of the app. From the Overview screen, you can see more relevant information, like all your upcoming shifts. From the Account section, you can now easily access more information like payslips, documents, etc. From here, employees can also submit their working availability.
