Kinfolk Story: Honey Harvest from Kinfolk (kinfolk.com) on Vimeo.
My Brother-in-law and his then fiancé decided early this year that they would visit us in France and while here have a little wedding… Stamps-With-Foot freaked out and turned on the 'Big-Sister Action Mode' setting on her internal processor. She quickly organized the shipping logistics, helped with transportation, found lodging for all, located a restaurant for the reception, sourced champagne and wine, etc… I had two jobs. 1. Make sure the yard was a perfect/green as possible. 2. The wedding arch. It was implied that fvcking up either would have dire consequences.
I sketched a bunch of ideas up in my notebook and talked to the bride a little about her ideas and wants over Skype and e-mail. I had planned on doing a big natural arch with the pruned limbs of 70-100 apple and plum trees, but my source burned the branches before I could get to them. I went with Plan B and drew up a modern interpretation of a classic white wedding arch. The bride said 'go' and it was on.
The arch is made from 4 meter (13.14') X 1.25"X1.25" pine sticks that I sourced at the local lumber yard. They are sold for fencing trim and to cut foundation stakes from. I painted each with two coats of white paint and the bottom is held together with 10mm all-thread. The top is screwed one stick to another – everything is pre-drilled.
All was finished one day before the ceremony with the bride's brother, cousin and sister helped out with the final painting (taking turns with the one roller) and installation. I really couldn't finished in time without their help and support.
The bride and groom seemed very happy with the work and allowed me to even officiate their wedding. Honored does not even begin to describe my feelings about being included in this way. It was my first time getting to use my Ordained Minister credentials and I am SO adding wedding officiate to my resume! I will add some pictures and wedding details later – after the bride has had a chance to flood her social media accounts with pictures to her little heart's content. Out-doing of being faster than the bride to share "her day" with the world would be bad juju…
As you can see from the pictures – I succeeded in Job 1 as well: Greenest yard in Toulouse:-)
I have a big ol' crush in Lister single-cylinder diesel engines. These stationary work horses were made from 1926 to about 1985 and were used for pumping water, power generation, inboard flat-water boat engines, and all manner of other uses. They came in 1.5-12 horsepower and would/will burn Diesel, paraffin, kerosene (as a mix), waste motor oil (WMO) fresh or waste veggie oil (WVO), bio Diesel, etc… They were and are so reliable that many of the originals are still running today after 90+ years of just regular maintenance.
After the parent company stopped making them, Indian firms started making clones for Asian and Southeast Asian use due to their inherent long life, simplicity, and ease of maintenance. These are called Listeriods, and they are fairly plentiful, but the quality swings widely.
Why do I want or need a Lister? Reasons. Why did I need a Millennium Falcon in the second grade? Why did I need all those Legos? I just did. Just like I just need a small Lister (or two) in my garage to tinker with and run various other machines that I just need as well.
I have been thwarted in my attempt while living in the US due to EPA regulations making importation verboten. There are some, both original and clones, around, but they command top dollar as they are VERY popular with the off-grid/prepper folks. I like "The Grid" just fine. I am not building a bunker, planning for any sort of societal collapse or EMP weapon defense, I just need a Lister.
I have found a couple here in France, but either the owner has been unwilling to sell or the logistics in getting it have proved difficult – hauling it 30 vertical feet up and 2km down a mountain path sort of daunting. I still haven't given up. We know a British couple that have been here long term and the husband is a classic car/truck guy – he has a 1962 Unimog fire truck as a daily driver… I spoke to him this weekend about my need and he might know a guy who knows a guy sort of thing. I have my fingers crossed.
Enjoy a few videos of Listers in action below:

I have neglected my bike since we have lived in France. I thought I would ride every day, but it has been more like once a week or once every two weeks with sputters and spurts of activity. The only bright spot is really that I have been riding 30-50km once a month or so with a neighbor. He is 20 and like 6'2″ and lanky – built like a proper cyclist. The first time he showed up at our garden gate to ride he had a full local team kit (matching jersey, socks, shorts) on and was astride a very clean, full carbon bike. My first reaction was 'Shit… This kid is going to KILL me …'
Turns out that even in my current chubby condition and at my advanced age, I still have a little something when riding and I had no problem staying with him on the flats and can take him in the hills.
We have been riding off and on for about 18 months and recently I had a friend from Germany in town that I used to ride with there. A mini-tour of the local country side from atop a two wheeled stead was in order, but he didn't bring a bike. No Worries, I loaned him my road bike and I took one for the team and rode my single speed. I just knew that they were going to kill me, but I needed the workout.
I am happy to report, that I stayed with theme both of them for the whole ride, and blasted by both up a moderate hill. I was super proud of my self after – I am not saying I didn't hurt or didn't want to puke, but I was still proud of the showing I managed. Not too shabby for a chubby bearded grandfather.
We have an official date for our move from France and back to Seattle. It is on paper and everything. Stamps-With-Foot and I will be in back in the Emerald City just in time to celebrate Christmas.
Life in France has been amazing:
The weather
The amazing food
Our friends here
Our house in the country
The big yard
Our Diesel-fueled car
Cheese, glorious cheese
Cheap internet
Free world-wide long distance
Crazy cheap prescription meds
The used furniture shops
Walks in the farm fields with the puppies
The different kinds of honey
Always a sign pointing to the next village or spots of interest
Our neighbors
Stuff We will not miss:
The Strikes
The August Shutdown
Early shop hours
The entire city/country closed on Sundays
The other neighbors and their dogs
I had a super shitty trip home from Morocco and was stressed out & pissed off when I got up Saturday morning.
First Coffee.
I then decided that and working on some current projects, a couple of little things on the lathe, and making lots of sawdust and wood shavings would make it all better.
I am in the process of building an old-school 6-board chest (now 8-board as I added a skirt to front and rear…) and had some white pine scrap sections left from the two sides and the bottom. I glued them up before I left for Casablanca and when I got home I decided to turn a quick fruit dish for the kitchen/my wife. It took all of about 20 minutes and is 10.5″ in diameter and 2″ tall. I am pretty happy with the results.
We are currently going through a make/buy decision concerning our house in Seattle. Meaning, do we spend $200-$250K plus, months of time, and lots of sweat equity on updating our house, adding a garage/shop and dining room, and refitting the basement into an apartment for my mom. Or, do we spend $5K getting the house ready to sell and find another house that has what we want already done and complete. Do we keep the house as a rental and build an entirely new one…? We have met with our estate agent, a builder, a draftsman, an architect, a landscape company, a second builder, and now a third builder in our quest, but really are not any closer to making a decision. As said before, Stamps-With-Foot and I are going over it all and trying to decide what is best for our finances, future possible family expansion, and quality of life.
I drew our lot and house just after we moved in and have spent more than a few hours modeling all our crap – to scale – and seeing how it would all fit in the possible expansion of our existing house with the new garage build. Part of this on-going decision process is looking at all the possibilities and modifying the existing drawings into a "someday-maybe state". I have a touch of OCD… If I am working on something or especially in the planning stages, I will drill WAY DOWN into the project. Evidenced by the below images and the included timeline.
I have modeled sewing machines, yard tools, bikes, my 1986 Jeep, my wife's Subaru WRX, hand tools, bikes, , machine tools, trees, bushes, furniture, lathes, saws, wiring diagrams, rugs, even our puppies… all to scale… I may have a problem.
The lavender is in full bloom in our backyard. Last year I counted five different types of bees that visited it during the late summer. So far, I have counted seven different types, but I think one might be a type of yellow jacket. I looked online, but it is inconclusive. I went full-nerd and ordered a couple of books: Bees of the World by Mitchner and Bees of N. America (Princeton Guide). I will take some more pictures and see how many types I can find every couple of weeks. As a side note: I often wonder given my nerdiness how I have both managed to procreate with the female of our species and how I have a wife that is so damn adorable…
Early last year, Stamps-With-Foot and I bought a few pieces of furniture from an English couple moving out of France. One of the pieces was a pine drawer-front blanket chest that someone in the UK had built in their garage out of decking material. It was constructed with dovetails, screws, and lots of glue, so it was a stout little piece and for $50, I couldn't pass it up. The finish was originally 1980's fabulous stain and it was semi-sloppily finished with a brushed on polyurethane topcoat, but all and all not so bad as to ruin the chest. Just right for a little refinishing.
It sat in the house for a year or so, covered with a runner, before I dragged it into the GROP and tore into it. I cut the funky curved feature off the base, added some corner reinforcement, re-worked the drawer slides, removed the fat awkward drawer knobs, turned and added bun feet to the front, and installed square feet on the rear (going for the 17th century Furniture of Necessity look). I sanded the whole thing down to remove some of the gloppy poly and painted it with an undercoat of red and an overcoat of flat black – also period appropriate. When the top coat gets a ding, the red shows through. I have a number of chairs and other chests done in the same manner. I added brushed antiqued solid brass handles and called it done.
The chest now sits behind the couch, near the door for the back garden and holds a couple blankets for TV watching comfort and two cotton hammocks for lounging the yard.
In about 4 weeks I will celebrate the 13th anniversary of my 29th birthday and the current plan is to spend the weekend in Rome and Venice or Florence. While there, I want cake (moist yellow cake with chocolate butter-cream frosting), snuggling, a nice glass or 6 of fine wine and lots of tiny cups of Coffee, laughter, and a few well thought out gifts. I will NOT work that day – just not going to happen – and I plan to pamper myself with a haircut and a strait-razor shave if it can be found.
Below is my birthday wish list – mostly for my wife, family and children, but feel free to peruse and suggest.
I already have a bunch of crap, so my first request is that people give to a worthy cause.
If you DO happen to maybe want to get me a little tangible token of your love and appreciation:

I have been swamped for the last month and have not been posting. We have had friends and Family in, there have been trips for work and vacation, my J-O-B has me running in 6 directions – you name it. I will get my poop in group and post pictures from:

Last summer My Father-in-law, my son, and I made a road trip to the Musée du bois et de la Marqueterie (Museum of Wood and Marquetry) in Revel, France (about an hour from our house if you don't get lost or almost run out of gas…). The town is one of the noted centers of high quality furniture production and has historically specialized in wood marquetry. It goes back to 1888, when Alexandre Monoury – a master cabinetmaker – left the workshops of Versailles and settled in Revel. Under his influence, several workshops were set up there and many of those origional shops are still going strong today.
The museum highlights the work of the area, new and old, and we spent a couple of hours marveling at the tools, example pieces and shear artistry of furniture, sculptures and marquetry examples on the second floor of the facility.
As a note – this part of France is stunning with sunflower and wheat fields(the Tour du France rides through or by every year) and the town has an stunning 13th century market square and a beautiful central market hall with a quadrangle of historic buildings around it that are home to restaurants, a fabulous bakery/pastry shop and antique shops.
Our time in France is not forever and we are more than halfway through our stay here and have begun the logistics discussion for our return to the US: What goes and what stays, where we will live, timing, etc…
Since we are on the downhill slope, my wife and I have decided to get busy seeing the parts of France that we have put off visiting thus far. So, this past weekend we went on a "must see" tour of Provence: Arles, Avignon, wineries, food, ruins, castles, sights, sounds, sunshine, oh my…
Below is a short list of accomplishments and pictures from the weekend:
Toured the coliseum in Arles (20th largest in all of the Roman Empire)
Visit to the Arles amphitheater
Walked in the footsteps of Van Gogh
5 museums
4 churches
A fantastic Air B&B in Avignon
Tour of the Pope's Palace in Avignon
Pictures galore
Drive to the wine region and village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Winery tours
Wine consumed and purchased
I may have taken some rocks from the fields…
Visit to the Point du Gard (tallest aqueduct in the Roman world)
4-hour mad dash home and restful sleep.
I am a sucker for a fine pair of shoes or boots. I love to go into a shoe shop to watch the cobblers work and smell the leather & dye. I have a pair of Justin Roppers ™ that have been with me since I was 17. I have had them half soled more than 5 times and full soled twice. I have had cuts stiched up and new heels nailed on. They fit my feet like a pair of bespoke calf-skin gloves. I wish all my shoes fit and felt like they do. I have Al's Attire in San Francisco building my dress shoes and boots now and I hope to have that sort of relationship with their products as well someday.

We sort of have a Wood-Craft/Bohemian/Bookworm thing going for our living room, den, and dining room decor at our place in France. Stamps-With-Foot just sort of let me go and only said no to the anvil for a sofa table idea. She hasn't just sat on the chaise lounge and popping bon-bons in her mouth – all the curtains in the whole house are here doing and the flowers that seem to be magically refreshed every few days is all her as well. Everyone that we have had over loves it and one guest said: "It is so lovely that your company provides you with a professionally decorated home…" I was a little taken aback; embarrassed and proud at the same time.
The wooden extension ladder bookshelf was my first project after we moved here and I have sort of built around that, adding a few pieces: a workbench turned into a buffet/TV table, the lathe book shelf, an assortment of Moroccan and Turkish rugs, an antique or two, a few unique bits & bobbles, some paintings, a chest or two, a small bench, etc…
The rest of the place isn't too shabby either with a dedicated sewing room for my wife, a 1000+ lending library that we house and run, a great shop space, my office that is plywood-modern, a guest room out of the 1930's with all sorts of girly pretty things (also my wife's touch). Our bedroom is all dark wood, yellow curtains with sage green accents, and my son's room/other guest room is bright and happy. The quiet and secluded backyard has an outdoor dining area and grill, fluffy green grass, lots of flowers, and a shady spot for my hammock – the puppies are in heaven out there!
My ego got the best of me and I snapped off a couple of shots and sent them into Apartment Therapy, knowing that the site admin would go nuts for our place… nope, no response. Fine, I get it. I don't NEED their validation, but I wouldn't have kicked it out of bed either… Instead, I will post my non-professional, non-posed (except the one of us and the puppies), snapshots of our house near Toulouse here as a tincture for my ego. In the end, my wife loves it, which matters the most and one needs a happy wife if one wants a happy life.
Stamps-With-Foot and I had a long weekend in Munich last month and we spent the better part of a day in the Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) looking at cool old stuff. Their furnishings collection is impressive, with rebuilds of entire rooms from castles, hunting lodges and ale houses from 1400-1800. My wife gave me free reign to snap pictures to my little heart's content so what follows is a collection of chests, cabinets, beds, and other furniture from their collection. I also love wood carvings and bronze, so expect a sampling of those as well. There were a lot of images to load and I put up smallish images for the sake of speed, so if you see one that you REALLY like and want more detail, let me know and I will send you a full sized image and all of the notes that were attached to the piece.
in December of 2013 Stamps-With-Foot and I were in San Francisco and visited an awesome shop called Windtip, which is in the shadow of the Trans-America Building. They are in a former Art Nouveau bank building (Originally the Bank of Italy) that the store has preserved – including the vault. As you might imagine, they have lots of fancy men's shoes that made me tingle, But are more than a shoe store: "… a "one-stop shop" for the modern gentleman… the store features a custom clothing department, professional & casual clothing, cufflinks, pens, leather goods, barware, cigar accessories, a barbershop, and shoe shine stand. And that's just the store. A private club for our best customers houses a bar & lounge, private parlor rooms, a boardroom, golf simulator, and a wine cave." In short, a VERY cool place that any gent or his loving wife SHOULD check out if in the city.
Anyway, while there I fell for a black leather Moore & Giles document portfolio that I considered, if only for a flash of an instant, plopping down some hard earned cash for. Although perfect for my work life as a European-dwelling engi-nerd that prefers to more fast and light through airports, I came to my senses and walked away. I have longed for it ever since and have asked for one as a gift for every anniversary, Christmas, birthday, and a few random Tuesdays and Thursdays since that first meeting.
I checked the other day on it, more to torture myself than anything else, and the manufacturer has discontinued the product. Wingtip had bumped the price up and had it marked at $450! Crap… I started sketching it up so that I could get my cobbler (that sounds SO much more pretentious than it is…) to see about making it. I needed a detail and did a image web search this afternoon 15 minutes before I had a super important call for my J-O-B and BAM! There it was at Sierra Trading Post for CRAZY CHEAP! I have bought hiking clothes from them for years at deep discounts, but had no idea that they would have something like this. I double checked the item, looked if they had the black one in-stock, and called their customer service right then.
Yes they have it in black, yes they accepted my 4 year old 30% off coupon and just like that I got a $450 portfolio for $110.40 delivered free to my house in Seattle. Done and done. I was so excited that it made the work call after a pleasure and I have been dreading it for two days.
Early last year, I picked up an antique copyist's lectern (the top part only) that originated in a French Abby. The lectern was riddled with worm holes, a couple pieces were missing, and there was some damage to repair, but the first thing was to make it bug free so not to infect all our other furniture with wood worm. The thing spent a couple of months in a plastic bag full of insecticide and chemicals that makes for square babies. According to the interwebs two months bathing in said concoction would make the piece safe to bring out see the light of day again, so after fumigation, it sat in our living-room as decoration for 12 months before I started the rebuild in earnest.
Initially, I sketched up a few column profiles in my ubiquitous little black notebook and settled on a somewhat simple design that matched the overall style and period of the piece. Next, I spent a little time one Sunday turning a new pedestal out of beech scraps from my workbench build. I glued them all up into a single 5″ X 5″ x 32″ hunk of wood. I then measured and turned matching intermediate supports from a scrap oak rolling pin with curves to match the column. A couple of weeks later, I used the last of the beech scrap and turned the pedestal base, which ended up 16″ in diameter and 3″ tall.
After gluing it all together, applying matching stain, and putting 4 coats of polyurethane on the base, it was time to start on the lectern top. All was going to plan right up to the moment that I removed a damaged shelf and saw what looked to be fresh wood damage… In one of the joints there was a small white bug larvae… Son of a bitch… I immediately put plastic on my bench top and took apart another joint. I found more LIVING wood worm. I started picking at the capped holes here and there and more worm… Shit!!! I wrapped it up in a trash bag and out to the street it went. It would seem that my lethal chemical treatment wasn't that lethal. Just REALLY, REALLY happy that the hatch hadn't started and that my house was no full of bugs that would lay word worm eggs all over our other furniture. I took pictures and measurements and I am now planning on building a copy of the top over the next month or so and I will post the finished product here when I am done and it is installed in the living room.
I am too stupid to own a motorcycle. Really. I have been on one bike or another since I was 5 , when i first sat on a 50cc Honda dirt bike and my last one was a beautiful 900cc rocket. I have all sorts of stories about crashes and near misses, a few scars, a broken wrist and foot from my early riding years. I decided that most of my injuries and near-death experiences on a bike were completely my fault and that unless I wanted to be an early organ donor I had to give them up, so after the birth of my daughter, I sold my last bike and other than a dalliance with rebuilding a duel-sport on my balcony in 2004, I have been able to resist the pull of two wheels. Then, minding my own business, I walk into something like the pair shown below:
Went to local pizza shop for dinner last week and what is sitting outside? Two vintage bikes, both old single cylinder French Motobecanes – the single-seater with the white helmet is a 1950 and the double-seater with the gas can on front is a 1952. Talked to the two guys riding them and the bikes are barn finds bike that they pulled out and got running this morning. Super jealous!!!! There were cobwebs and barn dust still on them. Take gander at the old plates! These babies make me want an old bike to tinker with, ride, rebuild, ride, cuss, work on, ride, love, ect… Now, I need another project/hobby like I need a hole in my head, but the pull of the Dark Side is SO strong!
It has been almost a year since I built (with help from The Ruminator) Stamps-With-Foot a kitchen island and she has loved it (so I am told) and used the bejesus out of it. I made a couple of additions and there are a a few observations:
I have been swamped with work and travel for the last couple of months, so my shop time has been very limited. I have mostly been puttering around with my workbench, getting the last bits and bobbles done before calling it done and I have spent the off hour here and there on the lathe and doing stuff around the house:
I have do a few things in the shop just for organization and am working on a couple of little projects:
The Artistry of Repair:
Cool Hunting Video: Cantabile Piano Arts from Cool Hunting on Vimeo.
The Artistry of Tuning:
Tuner – The third artist from Mattias Burling on Vimeo.
I am about a month late in posting this – life and my J-O-B got in the way – but the Cornebarrieu Bench is done. Completely done! All bells and whistles added. It seems like it took me forever, but it fits perfectly in the shop and I started using the bench even before it was finished. I am very happy with the outcome and am currently working on projects that have been piling up all winter. Just in case you haven't been following along for the past year and a half or so:
My GROP (garage and shop combo) in Seattle was too small for a proper joiner's bench. I made due with a slim, high, wall-mounted work counter, a bolted on machinist-vise, Quick Clamps, and the top of my table saw. It worked – mostly/sort of – but was a pain in the ass a good bit of the time: I never once planed a board on a stable, solid surface. My GROP here in France is roughly the same size as the one in Seattle, but is absent the huge cast iron machines and saws. I have some room to move and finally have the space for a big, heavy, proper work bench as well as some time to build one – or so I thought.
It is an amalgamation of benches by M. Roubo, Roy Underhill, Chris Schwartz, and Bill Schenher. I am calling it the "Cornebarrieu Bench" after the small village in southern France where we live, where the lumber has been sourced, and where the bench was made and first used.
For anyone interested, here is a documented build process, build notes, and step by step guide – 115 steps – to build this beast.
My wife, Stamps-With-Foot, has a normally dry sense of humor and sometimes she is unintentionally hilarious. Other times I am shocked at some of the stuff that her brain comes up with that her sweet innocent little mouth then utters. I have been recording a few of them lately and the choicest pearls are below.
I wish I could play like this…

Jul 28, 2014 - no chefs insulted on our first day
Great first day in Rome! Lots of walking, easily we walked 10 miles over cobblestone streets. Hard to imagine that shoe designers had Rome in mind when they created stiletto heels. The forum and coliseum are truly more interesting than the pile of rubble I expected. Now I see there is no reason to paint my kitchen, it is just an early Roman-empire style! We sampled pizzas and fresh mozzarella for lunch, served family style, not many leftovers at our table, making the boys a fast favorite of the guides. For dinner we ventured out on our own...Jump to full entry

After an 8.5 hour flight we got to the hotel and were greeted by the Disney staff and got checked in. Our first event is not until 5:30 local time (which is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time) so we decided to walk around and see the Vatican City. Our first event is a dinner with the rest of the group and the menu includes gnocchi, a beef dish and gelato, we are looking forward to that!Jump to full entry

Jul 17, 2014 - Rome
The drive to Rome was not too long. We had to wake up early though because we needed to get to the Vatican for out tour. It was a Saturday and the Vatican is not open on Sundays. The Sistine Chapel was amazing. You are not allowed to take pictures (but I may have been sneaky) and you are not allowed to speak. There are guards shushing you if you do. It's crazy how Michelangelo was not a painter because was one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen. After the Vatican we went on a walking tour of Rome. There are ruins...Jump to full entry

Jun 28, 2014 - Fond farewells
June 28 It was quite a flurry of activity in the morning as we said our fond farewells to the Abruzzo Cibus staff and downed a quick breakfast. Except for a few, the bus trip back to Rome Airport was relatively quiet, until near Rome we encountered an intensely burning semi-trailer truck in the opposite lanes. We were very lucky to have made it through, as emergency vehicles had not arrived yet, but we were sure they would have shortly shut both directions completely. Another flurry happened at the Rome Airport, as people with short...Jump to full entry

Jun 27, 2014 - It has begun
We arrived safely in Rome yesterday morning (7:30am). I was utterly tired as I had not slept at all on the plane, so once we got to the apartment I went to sleep for 4 hours. Bree was totally ok, as usual.... Dom, Paul, Aden & Niah, arrived around 3pm, after waiting at the airport looking for lost luggage. Luckily it had not been lost, but someone had taken it off the belt and sat it next to a big pole, semi hidden! The apartment is in a fantastic location, surrounded by restaurants, and near a big church, St Maria Maggiore. So if we ever...Jump to full entry

Jun 21, 2014 - Rome
June 21 We were up early for our 9:00 a.m. taxi to the airport for our flight to Rome and our onward trip to our Italian cooking school. Check-in at Veuling (pronounced "Welling") Airlines was so very smooth and painless, as was the security check…so different from our Istanbul experience. Settling in for a breakfast snack, we had a chat with Alicia, a lady from Madrid at the next table, who works with the YMCA, sending kids to camp in the US and Canada (200 miles north of Winnipeg…they already knew about the mosquitoes). She had very...Jump to full entry

Jun 14, 2014 - Rome dazzles and inspires .....
The Awesome Foursome experienced somewhat of a shock to the system on arrival in chaotic, fast moving Rome after 3 weeks of lazing about on The Amalfi Coast, and on a cruise boat on The Dalmation Coast. We have had to adapt to the rather fast paced Roman lifestyle following our leisurely Island pace of recent times. It is great to be back in Italy again although it is vastly different from Croatia, it is grubby after spotlessly clean Croatia, incredibly laid back (even the Vatican Guards lounge around and whistle at the pretty girls instead...Jump to full entry

Jun 6, 2014 - Off to Rome
June 5th,said goodbye to everyone as we all departed Villa San Rocco and went our separate ways. Except for Max and Becks- Becks decided to come down with a stomach ailment on the last night,so they stayed in Benabbio for another day/night. Ian and I got the local taxi to Lucca station, from there Ian trained to Florence,and I to Pisa then on to Rome. Train delays on the way meant we were 1 hour late into Rome@ 7pm. B&B room only 5 minute walk from Rome Termini station. Very handy. Wandered around for a bit, then found great restaurant...Jump to full entry

May 28, 2014 - Amalfi, more amazing views and back to Rome
Up bright and early to check-out and board the bus again. We set-off for Amalfi and Ben had some more treats in store for us. Our journey today would take us on one of the most scenic, yet dangerous roads in the world. Fittingly, the first song Ben played for us as we turned onto this road was 'Danger Zone'. The drive was spectacular and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The first treat was a roadside stall for a breakfast of beautiful fresh fruit and freshly squeezed OJ. I bought a banana, an OJ and shared some strawberries with...Jump to full entry

May 28, 2014 - Rome treasures
28 July 2014 Sunny skies again and we are off early to do the Vatican Tour. Our tour guide is a young Irish lass from Dublin called Rachel. We meet her behind the Vatican and are wired up for sound so that we can hear her commentary clearly on the tour. She was absolutely amazing, her in depth knowledge and entertaining way of imparting it, brought the whole tour to life. The three hours flashed past, but will be an indelible memory for me, we absolutely loved it. St. Peter's Square was our next stop and it was a sea of people, as the Pope...Jump to full entry

May 27, 2014 - Isle of Capri, convertible taxis - the best day ever!
The campsite we were staying at had it's own port, so at 8:15am, our group met and walked down to catch a boat to the Isle of Capri. The weather was on our side in the morning, so it made for a beautiful boat ride (except for those with sea sickness!). The Blue Grotto was closed due to the size of the swell, but we saw the white grotto and some other beautiful geological features of the island before we docked at Marina Piccola. We had some brekky, including a delicious Italian iced coffee, at a cafe right on the water. The water looked...Jump to full entry

^ That's a shame. I was hoping they might make an appearance. Maybe future dlc. I can't imagine they'd bring them only to MP.
you are a braver man than I, unless I've had a great team, taking down the collectors on bronze has been a challenge. Got sandwiched between 2 Praetorians, at least 3 Scions and a lot of troopers last night. Plus, I had to carry a package to the landing zone. Went through all my medigel in less than a minute and failed the mission.

are so excited from .20 cents. But they do have right to be because stock is only down since January $1.80 today after this rocket rise.lololol
You people have to feel "rich" today.lololol
I hope it will continue for you to get some money back. I really do.
June 1 and June 2 in Millenium Hotel in NYC?
It would be helpful for the company to increase its IR activity, both at Bank conferences and at industry confabs. Sharga is a very good manager, and tells the Ceragon story in a totally professional way.
I saw you there posting this morning a buy at 2.55
Are you still holding it? I got in at 2.62 when rumor was whispering between traders. Sold half at 3.30 AH. It was quick $5K. Fun stock.
The fact that they can maintain GM at above 40% truely tells that they still have the power to negotiate, vs the majority of competitors with much lower/negative GM have to give away (like STXN). Once in a CC when they answered an analyst's question regarding GM, they said they could walk away from a deal if the terms were not acceptable, and still maintaining both top/bottom line growth.
So far I find the management is doing an excellent and trustworthy job. And the trend indicates 100M sales not very far off.
Generally agree. The credit risk thing is way overblown, and reflects some in the market with limited experience. Yes, you do need to be careful who you sell to/how you sell, but after the demise of the wireless CLECs and some larger FWA carrier efforts in 2000/2001, CRNT and its like are mostly much more discerning in the caliber of customers they pursue and the credit guarantees the demand or deal for, such as credit insurance.
Enterprise sales are not necessarily lower margin, it really depends. In some cases, high end govt./military/major corporate enterprise biz can support higher margins than lower end stuff. That is often addressed via a resales channel.
I think that as the CRNT biz grows, and more major carrier and institutional projects hit, and especially any OEM deals, their will more likely be an impact on DSOs getting a bit higher/longer perhaps than outright credit risk, etc. But CRNT has a broad enough base to balance that and sufficient financial strength to make this a minor issue.
Read a report this morning, from CE Unterberg office in Israel.
Cergaon named Unterberg's top near-term stock pick [in Israeli universe]
" Ceragon's first-quarter results beat the projection, inspiring the bank to predict 30% revenue growth for the year 2005. Renevnues were $16.7 million, up 48% from $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2004. It netted $834,000 or 3 cents per share versus netting 39,000 in same period last year.
Given the company's strong status in wireless networks, Unterberg says, it is well positioned to achive its growth targets.
This year Ceragon stock has fallen 28% despite its relatively strong results. The analysts postulate that investors may be worried that the company's shift to beger deals may force Ceragon eto extend its credit to customers. But in Unterberg's opinion, their fears are overblown. It finds the company's involvement in beigger deals to be encouraging, demonstrating that the market is noticing the Israeli company. "
Read some of my previous posts, and you will sense the same discussions, ie. that enterprise business might appear to have lower margins. However that Ceragon's path to growth into a $100,000,000 company require the hunting of bigger deals.
832 really sounds like one of my friends who drove a Ferrari during 1999/2000 boom days. He jumped in and out, and out and in, and touched whatever stocks (well mainly hi-tech at the time) he thought he could make money. Of course he bragged a lot, a lot more than our modest 832.
Nowadays, he mainly walks. Sometimes he rides a chauffeur-driven vechicle, shared with a few dozen others...
They definitely need you over there at the POS board. The have only 18 messages so far this year. You can put out at least that many during one night shift at 7-11. And the posts there also match your level of talent. They even have a recent post with this title:
"Who came up with this ticker symbol?"
How nice.
I heard your brother is making big, I mean BIG, money by shorting ISON. You have to be careful now. Once he makes enough money to pay the rent, he'll quit his 7-11 night shift and stay home, I mean trailer, all night.
Whenever my brother comes near me, the music from the movie "Deliverance" can be heard... its scary.
I'm sure 7-11 is the perfect career for your brother, and the all-night shift actually fits him most. Those who go there at night just want to pick up some beer or chips, or peep around the magazine stand by themselves. There is no need for your brother to say a word. Otherwise, people would notice his subpar language skill and that'd hurt his self-esteem.

A story of WWI Espionage.
by the advent of some acquaintances from an adjoining table, all of whom desired to be presented to Madame Selarne. Major Thomson, set at liberty, made his way at once towards the small table at which Captain Granet and Geraldine Conyers were seated. She welcomed him with a smile.
"Are you coming to have coffee with us?" she asked?
"If I may," he answered. "I shall have to be off in a few minutes."
A waiter paused before their table and offered a salver on which were several cups of coffee and liqueur glasses. Captain Granet leaned forward in his place and stretched out his hand to serve his companion. Before he could take the cup, however, the whole tray had slipped from the waiter's fingers, caught the corner of the table, and fallen with its contents on to the carpet. The waiter himself--a small, undersized person with black, startled eyes set at that moment in a fixed and unnatural stare-made one desperate effort to save himself and then fell backwards. Every one turned around, attrac

Arizona Cardinals
Larry Fitzgerald: 'I would love to see everybody come back'
The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Kevin Kolb on injured reserve Wednesday, thereby ending the second-year Cardinal's season.
Kolb has played in just 15 of a possible 29 games over the last two years — with the latter number stretching to 32 at when this season concludes — and some believe he may have thrown his last pass as a member of the team.
When asked about that, Kolb said he would like to remain a Cardinal for a while.
"My focus is being part of this team for a long time and being the best player that I can be and getting this place back to an elite level," he said. "I'm going to work my tail off to make sure I get there."
Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald may be yearning for Kolb to return more than anyone, as the wideout caught 32 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns in the five games the former Eagle started compared to just 25 receptions for 285 yards and one score in games he has not.
When asked if he'd like for Kolb to come back next season, Fitzgerald said if he had a choice, no one would be shown the door.
"I love all my teammates and for every one of the 53 men here, I have a relationship with them, I would love to see everybody come back," Fitzgerald said Thursday. "But that's not my decision, that's for management to take care of."
The Cardinals are expected to make some significant changes in the offseason, though it remains to be seen what they will do. The search for a long-term answer at quarterback will continue, though, and if Kolb returns there is a good chance he'll do so with some hearty competition for the job.

On Friday, Bruce Jenner is expected to talk to Diane Sawyer about his recent transition to living his life as a woman. Here are some other memorable celebrity interviews.
After a stint in rehab, Lindsay Lohan spoke publicly for the first time with Oprah Winfrey in August 2013. Lohan then appeared in a documentary series about her life after rehab on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Lance Armstrong interviewed by Oprah Winfrey
Lance Armstrong vehemently denied cheating while winning a record seven Tours de France for years, but then told Oprah Winfrey in a revealing interview aired in January 2013 that he used performance-enhancing drugs to advance his cycling career.
Diana, Princess of Wales interviewed by Martin Bashir
In the autumn of 1995, a nation entertained daily by royal gossip and, in particular, with the adulterous conduct of the Prince of Wales, glued itself to the TV to hear the other side of the story. "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," was a quote that stunned Buckingham Palace and the millions of viewers who tuned in to watch the interview.
John Lennon interviewed by Jann S Wenner
Jann Wenner, editor of Rolling Stone, caught Lennon at the perfect time, which was December 1970 in New York. John was now married to Yoko Ono and the Beatles had recently split up and were still furious and arguing, but the rest of the world didn't quite know yet all the different feuds until this interview when Lennon let out all of his frustrations.
Marilyn Monroe interviewed by Richard MerymanAs this poignant interview with Monroe suggests, well into her 30s she was an individual who seemed incapable of protecting herself against exploitation. In the interview, she describes for the first time struggles in her life and many regarded this as her most endearing public performance. As Monroe states, her fate has been "to be always running into people's unconscious".
Monica Lewinsky interviewed by Barbara Walters
On March 3, 1999, Walters interviewed Monica Lewinsky a short time after the news broke of an affair between Lewinsky, a White House intern, and then-President Bill Clinton. Walters asked Lewinsky, "What will you tell your children about this matter?" and Lewinsky replied, "I guess Mommy made a big mistake." The interview was seen by a record 74 million viewers, the highest rating ever for a journalist's interview at the time.
Dennis Potter interviewed by Melvyn Bragg On 15 March 1994 Melvyn Bragg interviewed the dying playwright, television dramatist and writer of The Singing Detective Dennis Potter, who took the opportunity to speak his mind, smoke and drink as he pleased and to also abuse those he did not care for with impunity: "I call my cancer Rupert; I'd shoot the bugger if I could," referring to media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Malcolm X interviewed by Alex Haley This interview for Playboy in May 1963 caught Malcolm X at the pinnacle of his most combative black nationalist phase and America in the grip of racial turmoil. The interview took place over several days and after delivering a particularly fierce diatribe against whites or Christians, he sometimes almost dares interviewer Alex Haley to censor him. "You know the devil's not going to print that!" he said.
Richard Nixon interviewed by David Frost
This was a famously dramatic interview and generally deserves most of the fame it enjoys. It was the first interview Richard Nixon had given following his resignation in 1974 over the Watergate scandal, and remains the most-watched political interview ever broadcast on American TV. David Frost's questions were penetrating, and Nixon was clearly uncomfortable when giving some of his answers.
President Obama interviewed by Jay Leno, the ladies of "The View."
President Obama became the first sitting president to appear on a daytime talk show when he appeared on "The View" in July 2010. He also became the first incumbent president to appear on a late-night comedy show, when he visited "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. Both appearances were met with criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.

Reviews for Potato Kale Sausage Soup
Sort By :
"My whole family, even the kids, were asking for more! They all ate kale and enjoyed it!"
"A great way to add Kale to your diet. Very vood."
"Tastes great! We have made this several times - we like Butterball Turkey Sausage/Polska Kielbasa best. We use one sausage per batch. (P.S. Make sure kale is tender!)"
"Family loves this! I had to try this.Very simple recipe and so tasty.I will be making this again."
"This was a wonderful, hearty, surprisingly flavorful soup! It really hit the spot. I didn't have reduced sodium chicken broth, so I used regular. With the added salt in the recipe, it was a bit too salty, so I would leave out the added salt next time. But otherwise, it was delicious! It was simple to make and is a great way to sneak in a dark leafy vegetable for people who wouldn't normally want to eat them."

America is a land made great by free trade.
Since our inception, trade has been a means for economic prosperity and global influence. Strong trading relationships have made partnerships stronger and provided valuable markets for high quality American goods and services.
Sadly, while the U.S. has a predominantly open market, there are many countries that have enacted trade barriers that keep American made products off their shelves. Free trade agreements are the means to open global trade and create a level playing field for American workers and products.

Arizona can celebrate a big win along the border. The credit goes to the state's U.S. House delegation. Last month, eight members signed a letter seeking additional Customs' officers at the ports of entry.
They asked for 500 new officers, which is what Arizona needs.
They got 170. Well, it's a start. It will help.

A retired Chinese general is fiercely defending a loud, boastful and gaffe-prone admiral who has made himself the most prominent military commentator on national television — and the laughingstock of Chinese Internet forums.
Lt. Gen. Wang Hongguang, deputy commander in chief of the Nanjing Military Region until his retirement in 2012, attacked Chinese Internet users who have mocked Vice Adm. Zhang Zhaozhong of the Chinese National Defense University.
In an article Monday in the xenophobic official newspaper, Global Times, Gen. Wang defended Adm. Zhang for his unconventional, sometimes wacky comments on China Central TV over the years, especially on topics related to the military capabilities of the U.S. and the People's Liberation Army.
Adm. Zhang's infamous predictions include that the U.S. military could not take Baghdad in 2003, hours before U.S. troops marched into Saddam Hussein's palace; that Libyan rebels could not find Moammar Gadhafi in 2011 as the dictator was being dragged out of his hideout; that Chinese seaweed farmers' nets in the Yellow Sea could deter U.S. nuclear submarines from approaching; that Chinese fishing vessels could destroy the U.S. Navy's 10,000-ton Zumalt-class destroyer; and that Beijing's legendary dirty air could misguide incoming American missiles.
Chinese Internet users, or netizens, have savaged the admiral for his insights and his diligence in producing them. That made Gen. Wang very mad.
Titled "Some [Chinese] Netizens Behave Like Bona Fide Slaves [To Foreigners], Know Only How To Denigrate Our Military, Are They Still Chinese?" Gen. Wang's article attacked those who disagree with Adm. Zhang and himself, casting them as unpatriotic and even hinting that they are treasonous.
"Some netizens pretend to know the military but really have no knowledge at all — they only know how to curse, incapable of reasoning. They are utterly subservient [to foreigners], quick to denigrate any claim by us that we are better than foreigners," Gen. Wang wrote. "I really doubt whether these people are still Chinese, and why do they hate China so much?"
"[Adm.] Zhang Zhaozhong once said that seaweeds could entangle an enemy submarine's propellers and polluted air could reduce the effectiveness of enemy missiles' laser guidance system — those statements are truths proven by facts," the general wrote.
Adm. Zhang is equally thin-skinned, and his charge of treason against those who mock and disagree with him is legendary, as reported by Inside China in June 2012, when he announced that there were more than 1 million traitors among China's civilians.
"China is a country with fertile soil to produce traitors," Adm. Zhang told the Global Times on June 7, 2012. "There were over 1 million Chinese traitors during [World War II], but in today's China, there are more traitors than that number. And some Chinese traitors are foreign agents disguised as our diplomats; some are economic spies; others are military spies. They have all lost the last iota of virtues and conscience by betraying their country for their own selfish interest."
Adm. Zhang may be influential and well-known, but he is of humble origin from a rural area in northern China. Gen. Wang, however, is a member of China's "princelings" — the offspring of Communist Party founders and leaders.
Gen. Wang suggests that China's submarines are better than Japan's and America's.
"I urge the Americans not to forget," he wrote, "one of our older submarines once penetrated the American aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk's three-layer defense rings in 2007, including the defense ring against underwater nuclear submarines, and suddenly surfaced within 5,000 meters of the Kitty Hawk, which was within a sure-to-hit torpedo attack distance.
"If I may be not so humble for a moment, our military capabilities already reached the world's leading place in some areas 10 years ago," Gen. Wang wrote. "I would like to remind the self-satisfied, saber-rattling Americans not to be unaware [of China's capabilities], or they may be knocked down by our 'mace' weapons."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Snowbird Outfitters Inc, Andrews, NC, USA
I got know Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters through my daughter who volunteered there for 2 years. I have had the opportunity to visit many times. I was truly amazed by the dedication of the staff and their families in serving the youth that attend there and to serving our Lord and Savior. The camp opens their beautiful camp grounds for so many to enjoy. The recreational activities are very adventurous and offer new experiences to many people, including myself. I am not usually one for much adventure, but was talked into riding their three man swing (which is a large, very high swing). I loved every min! The staff also does a wonderful job pouring their all into the worship, teaching, and making their skits very unique and powerful. Snowbird has definitely left a positive impression in my life and I have been able to see it positively affect others as well. Also, recently, I experienced a challenging time of illness. The staff and families at Snowbird supported me through love, prayers and encouraging notes and calls. Their care for me and my family truly meant a lot.

Allow sharing of symbolsDecember 14,2012
Allow sharing of symbols
Isnt it sad that people who have deeply held beliefs about matters of ultimate concern are unable to reasonably and respectfully display the symbols of those beliefs on public property? Jews should be able to set a menorah out for the full season of its use at the Statehouse lawn, just as other religions should be permitted to share their faiths in the public arena. It is no violation of the U.S. Constitution to allow all religions public space for reasonable periods of time related to that faith. So why this discrimination?
