How to Build an 8 Foot Skiff

In order to build your 8 foot skiff there are a few things you will need. The first thing you need is a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of ½ inch thick plywood. Then you need a 2 foot by 4 foot ½ inch thick piece of plywood. In addition to this you will need two 2 foot by 8 foot sheets of ¼ inch thick plywood. The final lumber that you will need for the project are four 2 foot long 1-by-4′s, two 3 foot long 1-by-4′s, two 4 foot long 1-by-4′s and an 18 inch long 2-by-4. The next things that you need to finish the project are 1 ½ inch long galvanized screws, three tubes of roofing caulk, a paint brush, a caulk gun, and 5 gallons of latex paint. In addition to this, you need a drill with a screwdriver bit, two 3 ½ foot long by 2 foot wide ½ inch thick plywood pieces, a rope, a chalk line and a saber saw. The final things you will need are two 8 foot long 1-by-4′s and three 4 foot long 1-by-4′s. Once you have the materials together then you can begin construction of the skiff.

The first step of the construction is to build your construction framework to support the boat. This is done by laying the two 8 foot long 1-by-4′s on the ground and then attaching three 4 foot long 1-by-4′s to them to make a box with a middle support between the two sides. Attach these pieces to one another with the 1 ½ inch long galvanized screws. Use the drill with the screwdriver bit to drive these screws into the lumber used. After this you need to make sure that the box is laying flat on the ground.

The next step is to attach the 2 foot long 2-by-4 to one end of the box. First you will need to stand the 2 foot long 2-by-4 vertically. Then drive the 1 ½ inch screws through the 1-by-4 on the box’s end and into the 2-by-4. This attaches the boat’s stem to the construction frame.

The third step is to create two trapezoids that measure 2 feet high by 3 feet wide on the bottom and by 4 feet wide on the top. Then attach these to the middle support and the other end of the construction framework box. This positions the middle and transom frames of the boat.

The fourth step is to attach the two 2 foot by 8 foot long sheets of ¼ inch plywood to the sides of the boat frames and the stem. Use the 1 ½ inch galvanized screws to attach these to the middle and transom frames and the stem. As you attach these pieces to the frames and stem it will be necessary to wrap the rope around them and then use the rope to pull the pieces flush with the boat’s frames. Once these are attached, use the chalk line to draw a straight line along the side between the boat’s middle frame and the stem at the front of the boat. Now you need to use the saber saw to cut along this line between the middle frame and the bow to create a rocker to the bottom of the boat.

The fifth step calls for you to place the ½ inch thick bottom on the boat. To do this you will need to lay the 4 foot by 8 foot ½ inch thick piece of plywood along the 3 foot long sides of the boat frames. Then you need to use the 1 ½ inch galvanized screws to attach this plywood piece to the frames and stem of the boat. With this done use the chalk line to draw a line along each of the boat’s sides where they meet with the 4 foot by 8 foot piece. Now use the saber saw to cut along these lines and remove the excess wood that is not needed on the bottom of the boat. Then use the screws to attach the 2 foot by 4 foot piece of ½ inch thick plywood to the back of the boat’s transom frame. Use the chalk line again to draw lines on the 2 foot by 4 foot piece where the boat’s sides meet this piece. Now you must use the saber saw again to remove the excess wood from the plywood piece that is on the transom. At this point the boat’s hull is finished.

The sixth step is for you to use the roofing caulk and the caulk gun to caulk any seams where the plywood pieces meet. Do this by loading caulk into the caulk gun and shooting the caulk into the cracks between each plywood piece. Now use the paint and paint brush to paint the bottom of the boat. Allow the paint about 24 hours to dry. Now flip the boat over and remove the boat from the construction framework.

The seventh step is to place the seats in the boat. Do this by first removing the 4 foot long piece on the middle frame of the boat and use the saw to cut it down to a 3 ½ foot long piece. Then attach this piece into the middle of the boat’s middle frame. This sets the cross piece needed for the middle seat. Now use the saw to cut four 1 foot long pieces from the 1-by-4′s of the construction framework. Then attach these pieces in the middle and at the transom along the boat’s sides about mid-way down towards the bottom of the boat. Now place the 3 ½ foot long by 2 foot wide ½ inch thick plywood pieces on these 1-by-4 pieces. Then you will need to use the 1 ½ inch screws to attach these seats into place. With this done the seats are placed.

Now the final step of the boat’s construction is to finish the boat’s inside. To do this use the paint and paint brush to paint the inside of the boat. Once this is done, allow the boat about 24 hours for the paint to fully dry. The boat at this point is now completed and can be placed in the water and driven by a paddle or by a small trolling motor.

The complete time for construction on this boat is about 2 days. This kind of a project can be completed in the course of a weekend. Then with the next weekend a fisherman can enjoy fishing from his or her new boat.

How To Remove XP Antivirus Pro From Your Computer?

XP Antivirus Pro 2013 is the latest computer virus that belongs to the family of rogue antispyware programs. This virus gets passed on in case one has visited an infected website that may have exploited the weakness of one of the antivirus programs or through an infected email attachment.

Once this XP Antivirus Pro 2013 is installed on your PC, it will start running a hoax security scan that will report that your computer is infected with Trojans, rookits, worms, cookies and several other malware. Also, when you try to remove all the reported infections, it will prompt you to buy the product in order to carry out that operation. One should probably have realized by now that XP Antivirus Pro 2013 is bogus software and it reporting the presence of malicious elements within your computer is only an attempt to make you buy the product. Also, as a defense mechanism, XP Antivirus Pro 2013 immobilizes Windows system utilities like the Task Manager and the Registry Editor so that you are prevented from running the programs that can help in removing it.

XP Antivirus Pro 2013 tailors the files with .exe extensions to display a hoax notification claiming that the file is infected by virus in order to scare you.

Needless to say, XP Antivirus Pro 2013 is a scam and one should not pay any heed to the alerts that this severely infected software pops up. One must not buy this software under any condition as it may lead to identity theft. In case one has already, contact the bank and file a complaint that the software is nothing but a scam.

Steps to remove XP Antivirus Pro 2013

Step 1:

Start your computer after removing all the floppy disk, CD, DVD and USB drives. While your computer is starting up press and hold the F8 key. You have to ensure that the F8 key is pressed before the Windows start up logo appears. When the boot screen appears, use the arrows on the right to select the option ‘Safe Mode with Networking’and press ‘Enter’.

Step 2:

Since XP Antivirus Pro 2013 changes the Windows registry settings every time you try running an executable file, it would launch the virus instead of the required program. Therefore, download the registryfix.reg to fix the malicious registry settings. Double click on the registry.reg file to run it. Click ‘Yes’ and when the Registry Editor prompt window appears, click ‘Ok’.

Step 3:

RKill can terminate all the processes associated with XP Antivirus Pro 2013, thus helping you to perform the rest of the functions without ease. Download the latest version of RKill renamed as ‘iExplore’ so that XP Antivirus Pro 2013 does not block it. Double click on the icon that appears on the desktop after downloading it in order to terminate processes that are running as a part of the XP Antivirus Pro 2013. Once that is done RKill will start working in the background and look for malicious programs and try to terminate them. When RKill has accomplished the task it will generate a log.

Step 4:

Download Malwarebytes Anti-malware from the internet, and then double click on it to install the program on your computer. Follow the prompts as the installation process starts. Make sure that you do not make any changes to the default settings and when the installation is complete leave the boxes checked for ‘Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware’and ‘Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware’. Then click the ‘Finish’ button

Select the ‘Perform quick scan’ option under the Scanner tab and click on the ‘Scan’ button to start the scanning process. When the scanning process is complete, click ‘Show result’ to display all the detected objects. The screen will now display all the infections detected by Malwarebytes Anti-malware. Check the boxes in-front of all the detected threats and then click on the ‘Remove Selected’ button.

Once this step is complete, restart your system in the ‘Normal Mode’ and perform a ‘full computer scan’ in order to ensure that there are no more infections.

Step 5:

In a couple of cases, the malicious software XP Antivirus Pro 2013 may even launch a rootkit on to the computer. HitmanPro is very effective in removing rootkits from the PC. Download HitmanPro from the internet and double click on the icon. In case you face some difficulty starting the HitmanPro, use the Force Breach mode. In order to do that, press and hold down the left side CTRL-key when you start HitmanPro. Once HitmanPro is launched, follow the prompts by clicking on the ‘Next’ button to start a scanning process of the computer with this program.

When scanning is complete, the computer screen will display all the infected files that HitmanPro has detected. Click on the ‘Next’ button to proceed. Click on ‘Activate free License’ for a 30 day trial period of this software and remove all the malware and rootkits from your PC.

What is a Slate Tablet PC?

Not all tablet PC’s look like an iPad, and this article helps to explain just what is a slate tablet PC.

Tablet Computers

Tablet computers are gaining popularity thanks to a wide variety of features and applications that make them somewhat comparable to regular laptop computers. In many regards, the only primary difference is the interface. Tablet PC’s have been around a while now and the most popular style gaining ground these days is the slate tablet PC, so if you’re in the market for a new tablet you may be wondering just what is a slate tablet PC. In this article, learn more about slate tablets and how they work.

Why is it Called a Slate?

The word ‘slate’ implies a flat surface most commonly associated with writing. In the old days, school children had chalk slates that they used to do their classwork and hold up for the teacher to see. The same basic principle applies with slate style tablet computers. While laptop computers are portable, they are still meant to be placed on some kind of surface in order for you to use them. Slate tablet PC’s don’t need to be set down anywhere to be used.

A slate tablet PC is a computer that looks like a big screen and has no visible means of input. There is no keyboard, mouse, trackball, or touchpad. They are thin and may feature a few ports along the outer edge, depending on the model. By design, slate tablet computers are meant to be held in the palm of one hand while you use the other hand to interact through a touchscreen interface. Everything you need to operate the computer is right there on screen, including a digital keyboard. For a more detailed explanation, check out our article on how tablet PC’s work.

From typing documents to working in spreadsheets or even manipulating photos, slate tablet computers offer a wide range of possibilities that are even further enhanced thanks to the touchscreen interface. That’s why we are seeing more apps and games designed specifically for this new interaction style, and it’s changing the way in which people use computers. Be sure to check out my article on the pros and cons of not having a keyboard on tablet computers.

Slate Tablet PC’s Available

Hardcore PC enthusiasts will often discount the Apple iPad as not being a ‘real’ computer, though from a functionality standpoint it is pretty close. However, one of the first truly tablet style computers to hit the market was the HP Slate 500, which was released as a business class machine by HP. They put it out shortly before Christmas 2010 and it’s no surprise that HP quickly sold out of them. Be sure to read my iPad vs. Slate 500 article to compare the features of these two innovative new devices.

Asus also has a line of Eee tablet PC’s that blew people away at CES 2010. In fact, there are several Asus tablet PC’s to choose from since this company really embraced the new technology. In addition to tablets running Apple and Microsoft operating systems, you may also consider other style tablet devices from companies like Samsung and their Android tablets. As these type machines gain popularity on the market, you can expect nearly every major manufacturer to jump in the ring. For more information, check out this list of five tablets comparable to the iPad.

2 Youtube Stars That Will Help You Succeed With ...

The subject of women and dating is filled with so many crazy resources online. So I wanted to take some time here today to connect you with some good resources on youtube that you can use to get familiarized with some key concepts on women and dating before you go out buying any products.

David Deangelo on Youtube

This guy is literally the greatest when it comes to women and dating and has worked on teaching guys how to succeed with women for more than 10 years. This guy is for real and he has videos all over youtube.

It’s so awesome that there’s so many videos on youtube of these guys teaching key concepts and techniques to apply if you’re just trying to get a girlfriend or if you’re trying to mack some girls out in a night venue.

Will Youtube Be Enough Though?

Youtube is literally filled with so many of these resources and I can’t stress enough that even though you watch these youtube videos, You yourself need to take massive action to get the results with women that you want. Like anything good in life these things can’t come in one day, but these guys have the experience and skills to get you to where you want to be faster.

Android Tablets: What Are The Benefits Of Android ...

Android tablets are one of the coolest ways to surf the net and watch videos in existence! They are super portable, light and have a huge touch screen display which makes viewing a pleasure. Unlike laptops and even netbooks, they save a lot of weight and space by only including the components needed for media consumption (surfing, listening and watching).

They run Google’s Android OS, which although a relatively new operating system has already overtaken Apple’s iOS as the most popular OS for portable devices! It looks quite similar to Windows in some ways, most notably being the ‘home page’ of your tablet which is like a ‘desktop’ full of shortcuts to your favourite apps. Some of the key benefits of Android are:

• It’s open source. This means that it is free and that anyone can get the code from Google and manipulate it to make it suitable for their device. Why is this good? You’re not paying for an expensive OS, but still get a top-notch OS for your tablet.

• The Google connection. Android has apps for most of the major Google services that we’ve come to love and rely upon, including: Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Voice (like Skype) as well as translate, shopper and finance.

• Choice of hardware. Don’t fancy an iPad, but want an Apple tablet? I’m sorry you can’t. However Android is free for any manufacturer to use and so tablet fans have a huge choice of different tablets, from expensive ‘name brands’ to great value Chinese versions.

• Huge leap forward in functionality. Consider an old-fashioned portable DVD player, or MP3 player where you can only do one thing, either watch DVDs or listen to music. An Android OS device is a powerful, portable PC. They allow you to do hundreds of things, from web-browsing to reading eBooks to playing games; and all at the same time if you want to multi-task!

If you’re worried about whether you can use an Android tablet then think about this question? Can you use a mac or pc? If the answer is yes then you’re sure to be delighted with Android OS as it is so similar in many ways to Apple OS and Windows. You have your shortcuts on your home screen, but also folders full of your applications, pdfs and media files as well. So to do something just select the right folder like on your computer! It is different in some ways too, and not in a negative sense! Android is great at multi-tasking. You can have many apps open and running at the same time which is brilliant when you’re flipping from the page you’re browsing to your music library to change tracks.

It also benefits from a brilliant app source, ‘Android Marketplace,’ which is filled with great apps for all kinds of purposes, from Facebook to horoscopes. They are especially great because most of them are free, and you don’t often get much for free in life!

So in summary, when you buy an Android tablet you’re getting a top quality operating system for free, hundreds of thousands of cool apps for free and a huge choice of different tablets for any budget. It’s also easy for anyone to use and will sync seamlessly with your Google account. Where are the cheapest tablets though? You need to go online and check out the reputable online stores selling them, then you’re assured of the best value as opposed to the big shops.

For a huge range of Android tablets at tiny prices you need to come to Virtual village.co.uk or paste this link into your browser: http://www.virtualvillage.co.uk/android-tablet-pc

Easily Use Skype With World Of Warcraft

Once you get a chance to actually speak with someone you’re running around WoW with the whole game seems to change. I’m not a huge Raid or Guild guy, (although I hope to be someday when I grow up), but I do have some friends that I run around with. At one point someone suggested we get Ventrilo (aka Vent) so we could easily chat while questing or banging around in the BG’s. Chatting in real time is also essential for Arena. Essential!

Up to this point we’d been chatting by phone (embarassing, I know) but since it was typically later in the evening the minutes were “free” as in a “Night and Weekends” type of cell plan. But it was annoying and not really practical. It’s not easy to keep a phone on your should for an hour or two, or three. Our speaker phones really stunk as well. So we were looking at Vent. It was cheap. A buddy had a friend who had an accout and that guy made us a channel for us to try it out. So we ran for an hour or so using Vent and it was okay but not great. The voice quality really was pretty bad, the interface was overly complicated for our needs and overall it just seemed to be a bigger pain in the butt than necessary. But it was better than using our phones.

Then, out of the blue, someone asked, “Umm…would Skype work?” This was one of those moments that you feel really dumb when someone else suggests something so fantastically obvious that you should have seen before. Skype! Of course! If you’re not familair with Skype then stop what you are doing and go get it now (at Skype.com). This is a free service (totally free – no credit card, no nothing) that lets you call and talk with people via your computer. The call quality is crystal clear, the interface is drop dead simple and it works perfectly with World of Warcraft.

You can hold conference calls up to 25 people (all free) pretty darn easily. For the record I’ve only been on with 4 other guys, or 5 of us in total, at once however it was crystal clear…just like the 5 of us were all sitting at the same table. Depending on your computer or laptop you don’t even need a headset as the stock microphone and speakers work totally fine (at they do least on my laptop). If you’ve got an extra $15 or so laying around go grab a basic headset (they are cheap on Amazon.com) and you’re all set.

Now many high end guilds may require that you have Vent and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not expensive and everyone has to be on the same page somehow, right? But if you’re banging around questing, or running Battlegrounds or the Arena with a few buddies just use Skype. It’s wicked simple and it works great. Thanks!

How to Setup a Wireless Network Router in 5 Easy ...

Step 1: Setting-up Router

How easy is it to setup a router connection if you are a home user? The answer to this is – moderately difficult depending on the model and whether it is a wired or a wireless router. If you have a convenient location, then you could install your router in less than an hour. You may want to change the location of your router if it is a wireless one, so you don’t have to worry about looking for a permanent location when you begin configuring it. It is more important to find an easy power access point to plug in the adapter for the router device.

Step 2: How to Begin Router Installation

Once your NETGEAR, Linksys, or D-Link router is powered on, you can connect it with your internet modem. Connect the Ethernet cable into the WAN plug on the router. Once you have connected the device, you will need to restart it and wait for it to recognize the connection before you can start configuring DNS and IP on your computer. Remember to connect your router to the computer via network cable when installing it. This ensures that your settings are not lost if the WI-FI connection is interrupted. Once your default settings are saved, you can go back to using it wireless.

Step 3: How to Enter Internet Connection Info in the Admin Panel

To access the administration tool, open your web browser and type in the router address. This is provided in the handbook that you will receive on the purchase of your router. You will not need a working internet connection at this time. Enter the default username and password provided in the same document, and begin installation. If you are currently using a DSL internet service over a broadband modem, then you will need to register the PPPoE or the network protocol. This information should be available with your Internet service provider. If you have a static IP address that has been provided on demand, then it will ask you to enter network mask and gateway which you can locate from the Network Connection icon in My Network Places or from the internet icon in the taskbar.

Step 4: Connecting Additional Computers to Router

Once your internet connection information has been entered, you can add other computers to the wireless network by changing the SSID or network name and selecting it each time. Remember that the connection information will be same as in the first installation. Now that your router is configured, you will only need to select the relevant connection from Available Networks or search for wireless connection from the Network and Sharing Center. Use the username and password provided in the router information to access the network. Each computer that you add becomes a networked computer which allows file sharing and multiple accesses to the same disk drives.

Step 5: Secure Router and Connection

Once the router installation is complete, it is time to secure your internet connection and router. You can begin by changing the default usernames and passwords from the admin panel. Also change the SSID or network name for your Router and disable SSID broadcast. Install personal firewall software on each of the computers connected to the wireless network. You can even turn on the router’s in-built firewall for network security.

Didn’t Work? Try This!

If you have followed this method and are still facing limited or no connectivity errors in Windows, it may because some information has been incorrectly input. To reconfigure or troubleshoot router settings, you can call a technical support service to do it for you. Router support is easily found online, and there are virtual technicians who will guarantee a router setup within 15 minutes. To avail of such services, the author has provided some useful linked web addresses for your convenience. This will enable you to get top level certified security on your router and PC as well. There are forums where you can post router issues for feedback and see if there is a solution available from other users.

Cathy Stones shares her experience of collaborative technologies in academic and professional computing environments and how specialized support for NETGEAR, Belkin, D-Link, Verizon, Linksys, and Cisco routers can help you stay connected always. Ms. Stones recommends the best technical support here http://goo.gl/iFg7I for configuring and troubleshooting Router, Printer, Webmail, Software, and Peripherals.
