DETROIT (Billboard) - Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill is confident that organizers of the upcoming Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco will keep stray pigeons as far away from the stage as possible. But, the drummer notes, "we're bringing a couple of muzzle loaders, just in case."
He's kidding, of course. But while answering questions about the infestation of defecating pigeons that forced the cancellation of the band's July 23 show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, Mo., Followill told Billboard.com that the incident turned into a much bigger story than the band had anticipated.
"I think us trying to be the real-life Spinal Tap just got a little closer for us," Followill said during a conference call to promote the Outside Lands performance on August 15. "I think in the end, it's going to help us more than it hurt us. It's just one of those things that happened, and looking back on it now it's a lot funnier than it was at the time. But we really felt bad for the fans — especially those that had driven a ways and stood out in the heat all day. But sometimes, y'know, s*** happens — in this case literally.
"We're happy to move forward and we've been having great shows since," Followill added, "so hopefully Pigeon-gate can officially be put to rest."
The band has been playing four songs from its upcoming fifth album, which is still untitled and unscheduled, in its recent shows. Followill said the songs — which have been identified as "Mary," "Immortals," "Radioactive" and "Southbound" — are from sessions in New York City with producers Jacquire King and Angelo Petraglia, the same team that worked on Kings of Leon's Grammy Award-winning 2008 breakthrough, "Only by Night."
"They've been going over really well, a lot better than we thought they wood," he said. "Some of them are getting better reactions than the older songs, which is bittersweet but great to see that (fans) are digging the direction we're heading ... It'll be great when we can play the whole new record. It's taken a lot of self-discipline to get up there and not play eight or 10 of the new songs."
Followill added, "It's a great feeling to look down front every night, and there are kids singing every single world to songs that aren't even released yet, which just means they've watched them a gazillion times on YouTube. It makes you feel good that the fans are craving the new music that much."

I have been trying for weeks to get this post up. I wish that I had taken more photos and when I get a MINUTE to breathe I will try to take a photo of the clutch knob. I have been sewing and traveling to Boston and working, so it isn't as if I have been slacking. I just haven't been blogging.
This is a good little machine. True it was made in Taiwan but it is quiet (now) and sews well.
I hav a 12 Stitch that looks just like this one. The hand wheel just wasn't right. It felt too stiff. The same neighbor showed some interest in the machine and I was trying to get it ready for her. I kept adjusting the belts but could not get it right. Too loose and it sounded like the drill. Too tight and it bogged the motor.
Kenmores have a two pulley system to make them stronger. To adjust the lower belt, one must loosen the motor mount and turn the pulley screws TO THE RIGHT.
Clink. And the whole pulley came out in my hand. Uh Oh. Something dropped in the back. A rectangular shaped nut. Oh Sh!t. No worry. I have a parts machine. I can look at that and see how it fits.
But before I did that I figured that I might as well take the belt drive off and clean it and the shaft to see if I could get that d r a g out of the hand wheel. That didn't fix it so I took the clutch knob apart. OOPS. I had done this before, I thought to myself just as I lifted out the clutch and the springs spit out the ball bearings and they flew across the room. http://mysewingmachineobsession.blogspot.com/2012/07/ball-bearings.html
SH!T. Oh right. The parts machine. I took its clutch knob and installed in on the 12 stitch.
Sews like a dream. Nice and quiet, but still a bit sluggish. I tweaked the belt ONE MORE TIME and now I am happy. I wonder if my neighbor is still interested? If not, well, it is a lovely machine. I can always use it as my class machine.

A note from Bob Goldberg
Over the past five decades, movies, theater and especially television have portrayed the advertising business as fun, fast, competitive and wildly creative. Well, it's all of those things, and more. I am amazed at how much I enjoy this business, and can't think of many other professional pursuits that could both hold my attention and pay the bills for so many years. Yes, it has its share of headaches, but this career has given me the freedom to explore my creativity and business acumen in a unique and very satisfying way. For me, however, people are the best part of my job. The relationships I enjoy with customers, employees, editors, photographers, VCs, business analysts and other colleagues have proven to be a source of lasting enjoyment.
My 13 year old son Chase has taught me a couple simple lessons that apply to fatherhood as well business leadership: Never underestimate the importance of patience, humor and enthusiasm. Never take your eye off the ball and never loose sight of the big picture. As Chase has grown older his interest in what I do for a living has become a topic of dinner table conversation. Like many young boys, he has expressed some interest in doing what his dad does for a living. To this I reply: "bring it on pal – I can use the help!"

"Inept Cupid" is a melody composed by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka which turned into a hit for Connie Francis in 1958. In the spring of 1958 Francis had hit No. 4 with her breakout hit, a stone anthem adaptation of the standard "Who's Sorry Now?". The comparably styled postliminary "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry" had scarcely come to the Top 40 and Francis reviews: "I knew I needed to think of a hit on the third record. It was vital.

You can't be a representative or ambassador of a nation without sharing the values and ideals of that nation. Nor can you be an ambassador of Christ without embracing His Word! If you and I are going to be successful as Christian men, it means we have to put Christ first and live fully committed to him. And once you know the God-given purpose for your life and are fired with a holy passion to accomplish it, there isn't anything the devil can throw your way that will stop you!
Christians have been called to represent Jesus Christ and his kingdom as his ambassadors. We have been authorized by him. And he will back us up as we go out and represent him.
Generally speaking, an ambassador is a respected official acting as a representative of a nation. Sent to a foreign land, the ambassador's role is to reflect the official position of the sovereign body that gave him authority. Writing to the Corinthians, Paul likens his own calling to that of an ambassador, and he urges all Christians to consider themselves ambassadors for Christ. The gospel of reconciliation was always at the heart of Paul's preaching: "For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel" (1 Corinthians 1:17).
A Landlocked Country: Bhutan
For the first time in Bhutan's history, the long-isolated Buddhist nation's government seems ready to grant official recognition and accompanying rights to a miniscule Christian population that has remained largely underground.
Though never colonized, landlocked Bhutan has historically seen its sovereignty as fragile due to its small size and location between India and China. It has sought to protect its sovereignty by preserving its distinct cultural identity based on Buddhism and by discouraging social tensions and unrest.
The government's willingness to recognize Christians is partly aimed at bringing the community under religious regulation, said the anonymous source. Thus, its policy shift is evoking a mixed response among the country's estimated 15,000 Christians.
If God assigns you a vision, you are more than equipped to handle it:
I remember having met Dr John Edmund Haggai and his precious wife in India during 2007. We had an interesting conversation. The fact that gave me encouragement the most is my vision towards the Gospel and the mission. The first and most important step is seeing what God has made you. If God assigns you a vision, you are more than equipped to handle it. Haggai mentions very likely, the beginnings of a vision lie within you long before you recognize it. You have to have a sure foundation that your vision can and will happen through you. You also have to write out your vision. We spent quality time in learning from the man of God.
Vision and Mission were two important topics which impressed me the most. John Haggai outlines five visionary decisions to help you define your vision. What am I doing, Where should I go, What is the purpose, are some of the questions that often plague your mind. Start praying and seek the knowledge of the Holy Spirit. Are you doing what you are supposed to do, what you are doing right now is it falling in place, where do you see contentment. These are prayer points to God and start praying to Him through the Holy Spirit. He will answer.
Habakkuk 2:2 says and the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. The next step is to define your vision by the discipline of writing. Haggai says jotting things down on a notepad serves far more than an aid to memory. It helps me tease out the details of my vision. As you can see, success is not an accident. There are disciplinary steps to take in order to become the influential leader you desire to be. Influential leaders follow the path that has already been laid in front of them.
I saw a Vision
I was admitted in the Hospital after a Christian meeting in the eastern region of India. How the Great God Jesus Christ had enabled me even though I was unwell to speak to you and pray about Bhutan. The vision I saw for Bhutan was I was travelling by a Plane to Bhutan and went to a book store immediately from the Bhutanese airport and bought Bibles in heaps and heaps and were distributing Bibles in Bhutan. The Vision was very clear. God is making a way for his word to reach Bhutan. In fact it is making Himself known. Psalms 46:10 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Vision is going to pass and the Bhutanese government is going to accept Christianity as a Religion very soon.
A note from one of the great leaders from Bhutan (name withheld)
It was in the month of June 2007, I met pastor Rev. Dr. M.A. Paul, Rev. Dr. David Rayi and Rev. Dr. Raj Kosaraju who have visited Bhutan and Sikkim as speakers in our leaders seminar and I invited them in my house to pray for the manuscripts of whole holy bible translated by me into "Dzongkha" (The national language of Bhutan) which took 17 and half years of labour and pain to produce it. I took the opportunity to share them the need of funds to print our first holy bibles ever had in Bhutan and after that I could not contact the above three servants of God due to my sickness for almost two years and ultimately I was hospitalised in Guwahati India for lung cancer and thereby I had a major surgery. It was God's will that, Rev Dr Raj Kosaraju wrote me an email about printing of our holy bibles and I wrote him back that I could not print our bibles due to lack of financial constraints. Though Dr Raj was sick himself even then the vision and love he have for the people of Bhutan started burning inside his heart.
The passion he have to reach God's word for the Bhutanese people and he helped Bhutan by raising some funds to print 4500 copies of Dzongkha holy bibles. We have printed and released 5000 copies of Bibles in May 2013 and distributed to the Buddhist people of Bhutan on free of cost. After release of these first bibles, many Buddhist monks and Buddhist people came to Lord by reading this Dzongkha Bibles. Due to limited funds, we could not print more bibles and there are rapid demands for the bibles. Praise God for His wonderful works in Bhutan and we thank to Rev. Dr.Raj Kosaraju for his generous support in printing this holy bibles for Bhutan. Nearly 1.7 million people will read these holy bibles if we can print more bibles and supply them.
The strong religion background of Bhutan does not encourage our people to come to Christ. This Holy Bible is the only way to reach every corner of Bhutan and we still hope that God will use Dr Raj Kosaraju to fulfil his vision to print more bibles for us since he had laid the pioneer foundation of reaching "His Word" for Bhutan. We pray God to bless him and his precious ministry for helping Bhutan.
Finally, we represent another Kingdom….
Christians are God's ambassadors in that they have been "approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel" (1 Thessalonians 2:4). As we go through this world, we represent another Kingdom (John 18:36), and it is our responsibility to reflect the "official position" of heaven. We are in this world, but not of it (John 17:16). God's ambassadors are to be "as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16). Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we must take the message of our King to the "ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8), imploring men and women everywhere to be reconciled to God.
When we have a dream, God can use our commitment and perseverance to move toward that goal. God can achieve His purposes as we pursue the vision He has given us. And He keeps His promises when we trust and obey Him.
I would like to mention Brothers Brian Dayhuff, Spiro Kavadas, and Bill Carnagey who have been instrumental to the work in Bhutan. They have been very faithful in promoting the Bibles. May God Bless them and their Ministries abundantly. I also remember Dr. Mitch King and Dr Michel Fascia for their support in the BU programs. They have been thoroughly impressive, committed, and Kingdom oriented . God Bless you. I would also like to place on record my friends Dr. R.S. John and Rev. Prakash who were instrumental in raising funds from their churches for the Bibles.
For The Gospel,
Raj Kosaraju
Raj Kosaraju is an Alumnus of Haggai Institute, Hawaii. He was a 2005 batch mate. Raj has an immense interest in Missions and Evangelism. He is grateful to all the faculty who shaped him in his Global Evangelism and Great Commission outlook. Special mention is to Dr. Aldo FantaoFrom Argentina, Senior Pastor Frank Farag from Sydney, Donn Anderson's "Creative Use of Audio Visuals."Dr. Arthur Dhanraj, Vice President at Maui mid- Pacific Center in the US, Apostle Wahl F. Abrahams from Namibia, Sunil Robert from New Jersey, and Mr.SundarSangma, Vice-president International Advancement.

Beautiful Girls & Food
So, yesterday I dropped $8.95 on this canning magazine below.
I figured it was essential reading because, of course, I'm going to be a professional canner someday… or live entirely off my own canned goods… or be a one-legged ballerina…
Anywho, its pages contain everything from pickled lemon kumquats to rum rhubarb jam with lavender.
But I'm not making any of those.. Or probably anything in the magazine (even though I also bought Ball's Deluxe Canning Set for $14.95!). Yet, flipping through those glossy pages, or those of Culture (the cheese-making magazine, if you dare ask), I hear that ridiculous supermodel-obsessed guy from Beautiful Girls say:
"A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high with the single greatest commodity known to man – promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow."
Pretty much sums up how I feel about food.
Why IS that? Well, I don't know.. I admit, I feel silly sometimes looking through my endless recipe books, clippings and notes – especially when they are ancient and have that yellowed you-did-NOTHING-with-me look. Or when I start spouting off some inane facts to a disinterested relative about salt production from this awesome salt book I read.
And, sure, out of the hundreds of recipes I've tried, I probably have about 20 that are true blue winners. But I keep looking for #21. It's just around the corner… In that new food blog.. in Cook's Illustrated.. 😉
And I have no idea if I'm really any good (WARNING!) especially since I've started taking classes with real professionals and I can really see now how much I don't know 🙂
But that's not the point of this blog. Here I get to be a food geek and you can geek out with me and we can be geeks together just like the Bee Girl and all those creepy Adult Bees in that Blind Melon Video.
Go get your costume on 🙂

(Close this window to return to the main contents)
In 1905 the sugar estates in Demerara were affected by numerous strikes. These strikes which were for better wages, were generally spontaneous and unorganised. In making demands for increased wages to meet the increase in the cost of living, the workers approached the managers of the estates to state their case. However, their demands were rejected.
On the 2 December 1905 factory workers at Diamond Estate stopped working after their request for increased wages were bluntly refused by the manager. The porters wanted an increase from 36 cents to 48 cents a day while the sugar curers asked for 56 cents instead of the 40 cents a day they were getting.
The striking workers gathered by the factory gate, and shortly after, armed policemen and a group of British soldiers were sent to the estate and they took up their positions near the factory and other estate buildings. With signs of growing protest in other sugar estates in Demerara, armed policemen were also sent to those areas to protect the factories and other estate buildings.
At Plantation Ruimveldt, immediately south of Georgetown, male and female weeders also asked for an increase for weeding and preparing sugar beds. They were being paid 2 cents per bed and they asked the manager for an increase to 8 cents. These workers left their jobs in the fields and, after gathering together and carrying their cutlasses and other tools, they went to meet the manager, Mr. Ross. They surrounded him near his home and noisily voiced their demands. But he refused to listen to them and instead sent for the police.
When the armed policemen arrived they ordered the workers to put their implements on the ground and leave the area. Some obeyed but most of them refused. Shortly after, the police arrested George Henry whom they regarded as one of the leaders of the striking workers. Henry had allegedly touched the shoulder of Ross to attract his attention to a point he wanted to express. He was charged for assault, and after being manhandled by the police, was imprisoned in the Manager's fenced yard.
The large crowd of workers tried to enter the yard, but the armed policemen prevented anyone from entering. As the people pressed forward, the police opened fire and two men were killed and several others injured.
The following day 20 cane-cutters marched to Georgetown to complain to the Governor, Sir Frederick Hodgson, and to ask him to support their demand for higher wages. But the Governor refused to meet with them saying that he could not interfere in any dispute concerning wages fixed by sugar estates.
The strike spread to all the sugar estates on the East Bank Demerara. By the 4 December cane-cutters on the West Bank estates joined the strike and forced the factory at Plantation Nismes to stop its milling operations.
The sugar plantations owners over the next week systematically broke the strikes by identifying the ringleaders and expelling them from the estates. This action left the other workers leaderless, and in order to eke out a living, they had to continue to work for low wages.

Inside the bottle he found a heartbreaking note from a fifth grader named Jonothan. The note reads:
Dear Daniel, I'm relly sorry that you pass away and if you were alive Me and you will be playing football, soccer and basket <torn paper>
<torn paper>d be playing with Mattew and Oscar and Brandon. I am in the fifth grade and you were my best friend. Our favorite song was Austin Moon and I hope you fun with Jesus.
From your best friend
Jonothan Torres
Steve said he was "heartbroken for the little guy" and that Jonothan was a "good kid" who "poured his little heart out.
The message inspired Steve to reach out to Jonothan on Facebook, where he posted:
Dear Jonothan Torres.. My name is Steve, and I found your note in a bottle on a beautiful Tuesday morning, April 19th.. First of all, let me tell you what a strong little man you are for writing your best friend that letter.. You show so much love in your heart way beyond your years.. Your parents, friends,teachers,myself, and all of my friends who know I found your letter are so proud of you.. Daniel is a lucky guy to have you as a best friend.. I'm so sorry he passed.. As your letter states, you guys must've played a lot of sports together with Mathew, Oscar and Brandon. I'm sure Daniel would want you to know that when you guys are playing sports, he and Jesus are watching and rooting for you.. Perhaps your next touchdown, goal, or basket you can dedicate to your best friend Daniel.
I don't know where you threw your note in the ocean, or how long it was in the water, but it landed in the right hands, Jonothan.. You see, I find lots of things on the beach, and the best ones I keep.. I have shelves full of wood, shells, sunglasses and, yes, bottles.. Jonothan, your bottle, with your letter to your best friend, is the most beautiful thing I have ever found. It would trump anything in my collection.. But I can't.. Won't.. You threw that bottle out to show your love for your best friend.. It is meant to be shared.. I took pictures of it, and shared it with friends on my Facebook page.. It tugged at many heartstrings, Jonothan.. But it's going to be shared with more people.. Like I said, it fell into the right hands.. You see, I think Daniel put the bottle ashore where I found it, and his friend Jesus led me to it.
I'll tell you why.
I've had plans for a few weeks to go way out on the ocean on a big cruise ship. I'm going to take your letter and your bottle with me. I'm going to add my own little letter to it, Jonothan, and put the cork back in it, and when I find the deepest, prettiest, most blue water I can find, I'm going to throw it back in.. So someone else, along with their friends, can see the love in your heart. You're a good man, Jonothan. I'm hoping maybe, just maybe, the world can see the love in one fifth graders heart, and we can, one by one, all get along.. Peace, little man!

Don't forget your glasses! Get ready for the solar eclipse now by purchasing safety eye glasses! You CANNOT use sunglasses to safely view an eclipse. For more information about purchasing glasses, please visit: rpsec.usca.edu or eclipse.2017.nasa.gov/safety Glasses are selling out NOW so don't delay!
Other Eclipse Tips:
-Partial is not good enough. If the area where you watch is not in totality, aka a partial eclipse, you will NOT be able to see the corona of the sun, one of the most important views during the eclipse. To see the eclipse, you should travel to a location within the path of totality (where is the eclipse is 100%). Williston is not within this path. 99% is not good enough. Areas recommended by the Ruth-Patrick Science Center at USCA include:
-Try to get to a location with at least 2 minutes of totality. Including the locations above, towns and cities near Williston with at least 2 minutes of totality include:
-Be prepared. Have an alternative site picked in case of bad weather or cloudiness. Avoid Columbia! The city of Columbia is expected to double in size on the 21st. Traffic will likely be a nightmare. Cell phone reception may be limited on the 21st due to the large number of people in our state.
-Learn with our students. Our students will be completing a statewide eclipse curriculum. Check out the blog at https://youtu.be/qc7MfcKF1-s and the NASA Total Solar Eclipse of 2017 site at https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov
-Can't find glasses? Only ISO approved glasses can protect eyes for the eclipse (see safety information above). But, there are several ways to watch the eclipse indirectly. This means that you use an object to project an image of the sun on the ground (you do not look at the sun through the object). Colanders are a great tool for this. Check out other ideas on the NASA site.
-Can't travel on the day of the eclipse? NASA will be live streaming the eclipse all day on the 21st. Check out their page for more information.

Michigan Tech Women Top Northern; Avoids Upset
This story was written by MTU Athletics
"I thought today's game was a really hard fought battle and the epitome of a rivalry game," Michigan Tech Head Coach Kim Cameron said. "I thought both teams emphasized the post-game early on and when the post players for both sides got in a little foul trouble, things shifted to more of a guard oriented offense. We did a great job in certain stretches and were able to make a couple of runs which helped us stay in front at the end."
Northern Michigan (9-11, 5-7 GLIAC) struck first on Sunday with an Erin Honkala layup, but it would be the only time the Wildcats would hold an edge. Michigan Tech (16-3, 10-2 GLIAC) knotted the score at 2-2 on a jumper by senior Hannah Stoll with just under eight minutes to go in the first quarter.
Tech's defense continued to keep the Wildcats in check and as a result the Huskies increased the gap to double digits for the first time with just over three minutes remaining in the first.
The Huskies carried a 19-10 lead into the second quarter when senior Kelli Guy found the bottom of the net on a jumper with 16 seconds left in the opening period.
However, Northern Michigan didn't go quietly and made up ground over the next seven minutes to draw within two possessions. Lexi Smith converted a conventional three-point play with 1:19 left in the first half to make it a 31-27 score. LaFave helped take some of the momentum back with a layup in the final minute to send the Huskies into the locker room with a 33-27 lead at the intermission.
The third quarter was dominated by both defenses, with the teams combining for just 20 points. The Wildcats notched six of their nine third quarter points in the first two minutes to draw within two at 35-33 on a Smith layup.
The Huskies maintained a 44-36 advantage going into the fourth quarter and it would continue to be a single digit lead through the first two minutes. Senior Lindsay Winter dialed in a triple with 7:34 to play in the fourth, elevating the lead back to ten points at 50-40. Heise bumped the edge to 56-44 on a layup with 4:52 left, but one final 7-0 scoring charge by the Wildcats made things close in the end.
An Elizabeth Lutz conventional three-point play made the tally 56-52 with 1:22 left, but the Huskies were able to hit some key shots and free throws to hold off NMU. Winter answered Lutz with a layup of her own while Guy and sophomore Hannah Hobson converted at the charity stripe in the final minute to seal the win.
Kelliher had another solid game to power the Huskies on Sunday with a season high 15 points in the win. She also grabbed three rebounds and blocked a pair of shots.
Smith had a game high 19 points for the Wildcats followed by 11 points from Jessica Schultz and 10 points courtesy of Erin Honkala. Honkala pulled down 14 rebounds for the double-double while blocking five shots. Northern Michigan found the target on 20 of 49 shots from the field (40.8%) and went 14 of 19 at the free throw line (73.7%).

We've lost an event from the NFL schedule due to the lockout, but it's a minor event. The Rookie Symposium is an event where rookies can meet current players, and they are taught about money and handling friends, etc. So, it's a good learning experience for people who are coming into a ton of money and who will be playing in the NFL.
So, is it really a big deal that they cancelled this event? No, not yet. I mean, you could have the NFLPA host the event. At the very worst, the NFL cancelled so they can say, "Hey. See, we're missing stuff now", and at best they just really thought they couldn't pull it off.
From a practical perspective, this event needs to go on. These guys need to be told, straight up, that they need to look after themselves. They need to watch their money. They need to realize that they will likely NOT be playing in three or four years, and that the NFL does actually stand for "Not For Long."
They're all kids, and if you don't tell them these things they won't realize it until it's too late.
Having one event cancelled is not a big deal. Nobody's really going to panic until we lose the Hall of Fame game (in my opinion), and then we'll see how desperate everybody gets.
However, it's almost June and we're still doing this. Kids were still in school, and it was cold. Now it's hot outside and kids are out for the summer. It's drug on THAT long. As the offseason programs of each team begin to crumble because the lockout is staying on, we see that the NFL has a long way to go.
I hope these guys get together and figure this out. Maybe, one day, we'll be calling this draft class the NFL's lost generation.

W. Patrick Edwards only started woodworking as a means to pay for his college but now has been in the industry for 47 years.
He is the proud owner of Antique Refinishers, a restoration, and furniture company which has been in business since 1969.
We came across his blog and found his story quite fascinating. Here's what he has to say about his switch from nuclear physics to woodworking.
Enter W. Patrick Edwards
What determined your passion for Woodworking? Tell us about the moment when you decided this is the way to go.
My chosen career was in nuclear physics. I never took a wood shop class. However, to pay for college I opened a small business restoring antique furniture.
After I graduated with a degree in Applied Physics from UCSD and secured a position in that field, I was told by the company that I had to choose between my "career" and my "hobby."
I quit physics and devoted my life to working as a furniture conservator in private practice. I have been in this business 48 years now.
Can you remember your first woodworking project? Describe it a bit, whether it is a gizmo you worked at as a little kid or something that was sold at a large scale.
I have conserved or restored tens of thousands of pieces of furniture. One of my first jobs was restoring a pump organ which was in terrible condition.
After I was done the dealer who sold it to me bought it back at a nice profit for me. That gave me the idea that this might be a way to make money. And it was fun. I started making copies of antiques early on in the business.
I thought: "If I can make a replacement leg or a replacement arm, why can't I just make the entire chair?" Then I started making exact copies of famous pieces I had seen in museums.
Over the years all my work has sold. In 2014 I was awarded the "Cartouche" award by the Society of American Period Furniture Makers.
What is your greatest strength? How does it help you as a Woodworker?
My career has been focused on using pre-industrial methods and materials. I am a noted authority in the process of working by hand exclusively. I follow David Pye's philosophy of the "workmanship of risk."
I have completely abandoned the modern technology of my earlier physics career to research and adopt traditional methods used in previous centuries.
Chronologically describe what you are going through (feeling and thoughts) on your way to work.
For nearly 50 years I have walked 6 blocks to work from my house, in a quiet residential neighborhood. During my walks, I think about the activities for the day but am constantly distracted by dogs, birds, trees and the environment.
It gives me 15 minutes twice a day to reflect on the process of living your dream.
What is your favorite book/magazine on woodworking? How about your favorite site?
I started to learn about antiques from the "Furniture Treasury" by Wallace Nutting. However, my favorite book is "Marquetry" by Pierre Ramond, who was my teacher for many years at Ecole Boulle, in Paris.
Also, another mentor, Charles Montgomery, wrote: "American Federal Furniture" and that book inspired me deeply. I have published in several of the current woodworking magazines over the years.
What is the most frustrating aspect of your job as a woodworker? And the most rewarding one?
When someone tries to repair the damage themselves. Using synthetic glues, modern materials, nails and sheetrock screws to fix antique furniture makes my job more difficult and damages the value in many cases. Please use the services of a knowledgeable professional for this.
From your point of view, is woodworking an art or a science?
I was trained as a scientist. I understand chemistry and mechanics and material properties, all of which are necessary for my field.
At the same time, it is essential to be able to produce a proper aesthetic in the end result. That requires experience in recognizing patina, color, shine and knowing which evidence of normal age to leave alone and which evidence of abuse or neglect to correct.
Tell us something unusual that happened in your career.
I was asked to restore furniture on the "Golden Odyssey" yacht, which was birthed in San Diego many years ago. I told them I did not work on boats, but they said that they only wanted me to do the work. At that time I took a little help from my friend Steve Branam who is software engineer by profession but inspired many to hold on to your hobby and things you love in your free time.
At the time this boat was the personal yacht of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, but I had no idea of the significance. I worked for a week onboard, thinking I was done with the job. At the end of the week, the captain invited me into his room and said,
"When we find a professional who knows what he is doing, we like to get everything done. Would you consider working for the rest of the month?" At the price they were paying me, I didn't have to think for very long. I still do not like to work on boats.
Tell us about how you deal with safety issues in your job
I do not work with hazardous chemicals or power machinery. I use cutting tools so there is no dust, only shavings. On occasion, I have cut myself with sharp chisels or a hand saw, but that is normal. I might drop a hand plane on my foot…
If you had no limits (money, resources), what would you create?
My life and business would not change significantly if I had unlimited resources. I have everything I need now. It would be nice to get the McArthur Genius award, at least for the fame.
Share something you would like the world to know about you or your ideas.
Enjoy life. Take risks, within your abilities to control. Enjoy the process. Teach the children. Pass it on.
What advice do you have for young woodworkers reading this interview?
Get basic hand tools. Buy or build a good quality workbench, some hand planes, saws, and chisels. Read traditional books and avoid the temptation to spend money on power tools. Spend money on materials instead.
If our readers had to follow you on or wanted to reach out, what would be the best way to go about it?
I have many websites. However, my blog is the epicenter of my life.

The crocus in the front yard are beginning to peep up through the straw colored grass. Daffodils are boasting fat yellow buds ready to pop open. The ground is heaving up around the mums. Torrential rains have finally melted the great mounds of snow that seemed never ready to leave.
Trees are down all over the place. Power lines tangle in with tree limbs. Shoprite has refrigeration trucks in the rear of the store. No frozen food is available inside. The pharmacy is closed, because terminals are down. Cash registers are being powered by generators. Traffic lights are non functional.
It is amazing that drivers are actually being courteous to each other. The land is in a state of emergency and the ground has had to much to drink. Water ten feet deep in some areas. My basement is dry. The sump pump is working. We have power.

Over Labor Day weekend B and Pop worked more on the garage. They decided there needs to be an overhang in front of the new garage door to keep the weather out and to add to the functionality of the space.
So, Voila! A roof ready to shingle!
Pop also brought down some nice siding to cover the crummy old siding that has been painted over ten thousand times and has holes big enough to see through. Yes, it's dark now, but just you wait until it has a nice coat of yellow paint over all of it.
The side shows the progression. There used to be windows on the alley side that were boarded up long ago for security's sake. The guys pulled off the trim before sheeting it in plywood. The siding comes in sheets that "click" together. All you have to do is stagger the joints a bit to make it watertight. The added layers should help insulate the garage a bit more, too! B's going to have a nice man-cave to retreat to.
This weekend: finish siding... more to come!

On Sunday, June 17, we pause to celebrate the most important man in our lives: Dad! This week, Chef Zelicious offers up her idea for the ultimate breakfast in bed; Lemon Poppy Chia Seed Pancakes!
● 2 Cups coconut flour or whole wheat flour
● 2 Teaspoon baking powder
● ½ Teaspoon baking soda
● ¼ Cup chia seeds
● ½ Teaspoon coconut oil
● 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
● ¼ Cup 100% maple syrup
● ½ Cup unsweetened organic applesauce
● 2 Cups almond milk or coconut milk
● 1 Tablespoons lemon juice
● 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
● 2 Tablespoons flax seeds
● Pinch of salt and black pepper
- Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax, cinnamon, salt and black pepper in a medium bowl.
- Mix together maple syrup, applesauce, milk, lemon juice and zest in a separate bowl.
- Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined being careful not to over mix. The batter will be thick.
- Add chia seeds and stir to combine.
- Preheat a greased griddle on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes to get it hot. Place about ⅓ cup of batter onto hot griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Top with extra maple syrup, cinnamon, fresh berries, whipped cream, and fresh mint. Even dad deserves breakfast in bed.

By Sumana Mukherjee
In May this year, the Nordic Food Lab received a €500,000 grant from the non-profit Velux Foundation. Titled 'Discerning Taste: Deliciousness as an Argument for Entomophagy', their project has a single goal: to make insects palatable to the Western diner. While other researchers will be looking into the environmental and nutritional aspects of eating insects, the charter of the Nordic Food Lab—a think tank set up by renowned Danish chef René Redzepi and his partner in the two-Michelin star restaurant Noma, Claus Meyer—is to convert the creepy crawlies' 'yuck' factor into a 'yum'.
The effort is the latest step of a long, diversified campaign to introduce the Western palate to newer, more sustainable foods. The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation released a book called Edible Insects: Future Prospects for Food and Feed Security. "By 2050," FAO official Eduardo Rojas-Briales and Wageningen University's Ernst van den Ende wrote, "the world will host 9 billion people. To accommodate this number, current food production will need to almost double. Land is scarce... oceans are overfished and climate change and related water shortages could have profound implications for food production. We need to find new ways of growing food."
And one of those ways is validation of an ancient, non-Western food-source: insects. Of the 1 million varieties, some 1,900—including beetles, caterpillars, bees, crickets, grasshoppers, ants and wasps—are part of the traditional diets of South America, Africa and Asia (and no one is known to have died of them). They are acknowledged to be rich in protein, fat, vitamin, fibre and minerals. And if you're still turning up your nose at the idea of a crunchy grasshopper on your plate, 'consider the lobster'. In a 2004 essay headlined just that in Gourmet magazine, the late American novelist David Foster Wallace wrote, "Up until sometime in the 1800s... lobster [basically giant sea insects] was low-class food, eaten only by the poor and the institutionalised"; having it on the table was akin to "making people eat rats".
From punishment dinner to posh delicacy is quite a shift. Will the ant and the grasshopper take the same route to the mainstream menu? Unlikely as it may seem, a quick search on Amazon.com throws up several relevant cookbook titles (including Creepy Crawly Cuisine, Entertaining with Insects, Eat-a-Bug Cookbook and the misleadingly romantic Cooking with Cicadas). They may not be making the bestseller lists just yet, but if human history teaches us one lesson, it's never to say never.
"It's not part of my tradition to eat insects, but I absolutely respect it," says the Italian-born Giorgio Locatelli of the Michelin-star winning Locanda Locatelli, London, and Ronda Locatelli, Dubai. "They are a natural resource and, in this day and age, we need to be prepared to accept alternative methods—especially if they prove themselves to be less harmful to the environment."
Having built their careers and reputations on the back of sourcing some of the world's finest ingredients, frontline chefs and food ideators are perhaps the ones with the most to lose should the doomsday prognosticators prove to be right. At present, there's little to indicate they won't be. A 2010 UN study says more than 50 per cent of the world's crops feed cattle, not people. Agriculture accounts for 70 percent of the world's freshwater consumption and 38 per cent of its land use. Add to the mix just one factor: economic prosperity. And it sets in motion a trend of higher meat consumption (an established aspirational food), greater fossil fuel emissions, more Westernised diets—all of which translate into more pressure on natural resources. Where on earth will the best beef come from if deforestation in South America, for instance, affects rainfall and the grasslands that feed the cattle?
Corresponding with chefs across the world to answer this question, I was struck by the similarity of their responses. Yes, there's a problem, they admitted. But yes, there were also solutions. "We are a creative bunch and I don't think we'll ever run out of ideas!" says Atul Kochhar, widely regarded as one of the best Indian chefs in the UK. "We like to push the boundaries and it's natural to look to invent new taste sensations. Science comes into the picture as well and new cooking techniques open up new possibilities. For instance, I could have never thought of [the possibilities of] sous-vide at the start of my career."
Not surprisingly though, science is rarely the first fallback for the creative thinker. "I like to think that we don't have to employ science in every aspect of our food's future," says Marcus Samuelsson, the Ethiopian born, Swedish-bred owner of nine restaurants across New York and Sweden, who was behind President Barack Obama's state dinner for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2009. "I tend to look at other cultures and get lessons on how they eat. Asian cultures, for example, employ lots of flavour and spices, thereby satiating the palate and eliminating the need to eat a lot. We need to think about better cuts of meat and better ingredients— and this doesn't have to be expensive. By using less of a better product, we'd probably spend the same amount in the long run but it works better for our bodies. And it never hurts to go meatless at least once a week—you'll be surprised the positive impact it has on your health and the environment."
First world solutions, one might think. But consider this: as of last year, India is the largest exporter of beef in the world. And beef is not just meat; invisible on the plate are the energy, water, land and human resources expended on rearing cattle. If the world were to heed Samuelsson's advice and cut back on the meat, the market economics in India would be certain to take a hit. But, in the long run, the chef's prediction of a positive impact on the environment would probably come true.
... "Over the next 20 years, I think what will come into their own are the foods frequently relegated to the poor man's lot," says acclaimed Delhi-based chef Manish Mehrotra. "I am excited by sattu, the Bihari staple. It is ritually snubbed by the landed classes as the labourer's food, but it is cheap and extremely nutritious. Another food that gets the short shrift is the makhana, the starchy white seeds of an aquatic plant common across the northern and eastern lowlands of Northern India. Then there's bamboo, jute leaves, ker-sangri (dried dessert beans and leaves), gongura and kinema, a fermented soybean popular in the Eastern Himalayas as a meat substitute, packed with proteins, vitamins and minerals."
Manu Chandra, executive chef and partner at three of Bangalore's hottest restaurants, on his part, has put much of this into practice. When leading Australian food TV personality Matt Preston came visiting Olive Beach in 2010—a dinner at which I was present— Chandra presented a remarkable European menu fashioned completely from indigenous Indian ingredients, including a creamy drumstick velouté and a ravioli with the humble bathua (L. Chenopodium album) and charmagaz (a mix of four seeds, usually of the pumpkin, muskmelon, watermelon and cucumber). It's a faith that remains strong today. "India will see a resurgence in domestic ingredients. Amaranth (seeds) will triumph quinoa yet," Chandra says, referring to the South American pseudo-grain that's flying off local supermarket shelves despite the exorbitant import price. "There's so much 'exotic' still unexplored (in our own country) that looking Westward makes little sense in the long run. It will also allow better control over quality, freshness and the honesty of the food, over being beholden to importers and food Nazis who play the economies-of-scale game. This approach will also open up completely new ranges in tastes and flavours, which are important."

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The novel "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger is a novel, which centres around the theme of isolation. This study will examine this theme, along with the writer's use of characterisation and setting, which help to convey the character's eventual break down.
"The Catcher in the Rye" is a personal account told by Holden Caulfield, the narrator of the book. He recalls a weekend of his life from a psychiatric hospital, and throughout gives off an impression of his loneliness, and isolation from society. We see everything through Holden's eyes, and so he cannot always be said to be a reliable narrator, however we still see him to have problems and so there is still room for an outside perspective.
Throughout the novel, Holden shows feelings of alienation. He says he feels trapped "on the other side" of life, and generally doesn't feel he fits in with the world around him. He finds interaction with other people confusing and difficult, and so makes out to himself that he is above interacting with other people, and almost superior to anyone else around him. "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid conversations with anybody."
Holden tries to escape from social situations, as he finds them difficult to cope with and uncomfortable. However, as well as causing Holden problems, his isolation from society also acts as the little stability that he has in his life, and the only aspect he can control. As a sixteen-year-old boy growing up, these feelings of alienation could simply be seen as regular teenage emotions, however in Holden's case his isolation eventually leads to him breaking down, and ending up in psychiatric care.
Holden is at the stage in his life where both society and his own body are telling him that he should be progressing into adulthood. He can be a very immature character, and even Holden himself realises this, but justifies it by saying he is going "through a phase." He seems to want to resist the process of maturing, and fears the change and complicity of adult life. He enjoys the innocence, and lack of responsibility of childhood, and doesn't want to swap this for the grown up and more serious things in life. However, Holden is attracted to some aspects of grown up life, such as independence, sexuality and alcohol. Throughout the book he experiences these aspects, but he refuses to accept the others. He believes that adulthood is full of "phonies," and that many people around him are fake and superficial.
Having said this, Holden himself lies and deceits people throughout the story. He tells the woman on the train that he is the school janitor because he "didn't feel like giving her his whole life history," and he says himself that he is a compulsive liar, "the most terrific liar one could meet." Throughout the book though, it is unclear whether people actually believe him, and so his deceitfulness and lies could be seen to simply help his own self-delusion, and be another part of him not understanding who he is.
As Holden cannot fully accept that he is maturing, and becoming an adult, he doesn't appear to really know who he is. He seems to be trying to find himself in the story, and is looking for direction in life. We see this when he asks people several times where the ducks fly away to in the winter. This shows that he is searching for a way to lead his life, but is not sure where to go from his current situation.
During the book, Holden stays in the same place for very little time. He moves from his school, "Pencey," to several locations in New York, and then ends up back in his hometown. This constant change of scenery reflects Holden's feeling of not belonging, and shows that he is struggling to find his place in society.
While at Pencey, Holden does not get on overly well with his classmates. After being thrown out of many schools previously, Holden is asked to leave Pencey, and so goes to New York City hoping to find something to do with himself. While in New York, he visits many places such as pubs and clubs. These places are usually seen to be for adults, and more mature people and so they act as a contradiction to Holden's feelings towards adult life. While in the clubs Holden can experience the only aspects of adulthood that he is willing to accept, and so he goes in order to drink and meet new people.
After being in several places away from home, at the end of the novel Holden returns back to his hometown. Originally Holden's intentions are to move away, and live away from his parents. However after speaking to his younger sister, he decides that he will stay at home. This shows that he is finally beginning to accept that he has to face up to real life, and deal with the things that truly matter such as his family. It is ironic however; that it is after talking to his younger sister that he makes this decision. She manages to convince Holden to stay put, and it is when watching her on the merry-go-round that he finally breaks down into tears and realises what is happening to him.
Holden does not finish the story, but ends it here, only going on to say that he is now in the hospital. While in the hospital it seems that he has had time to reflect on what happened to him, and possibly think about who he is as a person. After inventing his own fantasy of adulthood, full of superficiality, he must realise that all of his presumptions are not necessarily true and that he himself has been behaving in an unrealistic manner.
The character of Holden could be seen simply as a troubled teenager, however it is made more believable that the character does in fact have mental problems, having ended up in a psychiatric ward. "The Catcher in the Rye" raises issues of isolation and how Holden as a young individual deals with it. J.D. Salinger expresses very well how the character struggles to cope with life; its effects on him and the way he ends up, using the technique of setting and the development of Holden as a character.

Christmas Garden Family Photography
Gonzales Texas is a special place for me. Around year 2000 I believe my grandparents bought an old turn-of-the-century home there and this quickly became the hub for holidays and family get-togethers. My grandmother (aka Grammy) has always been great about decoration and gardening, especially around Christmas time. In fact I remember a few years when she won Best Decorated House (or Yard, or Porch) in all of Gonzales.
Seeing the wonders of her decoration abilities, the Bristol family wanted to have their family Christmas photos taken in their yard. Of course, I was down for that. Even though it's about a 2.5 hour drive to Gonzales, it meant that I'd get to see my grandparents and my parents for dinner.
We explored the front yard and then the back yard/garden which was already decorated for Christmas. =] Taking some group family photos and then some fun candids of the kids playing around the garden, turned out just great. Merry Christmas, Y'all!

Home > Background Check Services > Employment Background Checks
GREVESGROUP® provides comprehensive background screening services on a nationwide and global scale necessary in today's business environment. The most effective way to reduce employers exposure to negligent hiring and negligent retention lawsuits is to review an applicant/employee's past criminal history. A criminal background check will show crimes that an individual committed and whether s/he was convicted.
