This Jester does not recall so much discussion on a president's genealogy / vital records before. So as the President goes off to Europe, we once again hear about his ancestry ( Kenya, Hawaii, IRELAND). President O'bama through his mother has a 3g grandfather named Falmouth Kearney (and 3g grandmother Charlotte Holloway — let's not forget the women) from Moneygall, (County Offaly), Ireland. The President's direct ancestry back through the Dunham lineage can be proudly found at Moneygall's website.
Apparently the good genealogical research is due to the village's Anglican priest, Stephen Neill (a muse himself), who barely has any parishioners in the overwhelmingly Catholic area but is arguably its most popular figure.
It was he who, in 2007, pored through birth and baptism records of the Templeharry Church of Ireland, 3 miles (5 kilometers) outside Moneygall, and made the fateful discovery of Falmouth Kearney's baptism. He had received calls from American genealogist Megan Smolenyak who was pursuing the many branches of President Obama's family heritage. Megan, too, will be in Moneygall to meet the president. [see also "Finding O'Bama" ]
Stanczyk also awaits the President's visit to Poland on Saturday. Let's change the VISA requirements for Polish people to come to the USA to match the rest of the EU nations. After-all, Poland has been a part of the coalition in Afghanistan. Let's reward this loyal ally with the same privileges as the UK or France or Germany! I would like to remind people that Poland was the nation who upon being restored to its rightful borders after World War I, took the time to honor America's 150th Anniversary with their Emblem of Friendship in 1926 from the children of Poland to the citizens of America (see prior Stanczyk musing here).

General Electric gets out of the TV business
General Electric is saying goodbye to 30 Rock — the building and the TV business born there.
It's another step in GE's efforts to focus on less glamorous — but theoretically more profitable — ventures such as manufacturing medical imaging equipment, airplane engines and electrical generators.
The Fairfield, Conn., company announced Tuesday that it is selling its 49 percent stake in NBCUniversal to Comcast Corp., the nation's largest cable TV operator, for $16.7 billion. Comcast had bought a majority stake in the television and movie company in January 2011 and was expected to buy out GE's remaining stake over the next several years.
General Electric will use the money to accelerate its share repurchase program to approximately $10 billion in 2013.
"This transaction allows us to significantly increase the cash we plan to return to shareholders in 2013, to approximately $18 billion, and to continue to invest in our industrial business," GE CEO Jeff Immelt said in a statement.
GE is giving up its stake in one of America's best-known brands.
The sale includes the NBC broadcast network, which airs everything from "Law & Order" to "The Office" and "The Biggest Loser." The company also owns cable networks Bravo, CNBC, Telemundo, USA and the Golf Channel. There's also Universal Pictures, which over its 100 years has offered movies including "To Kill a Mockingbird," ''The Sting," ''Jurassic Park" and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial."
GE's capital unit will also sell the floors NBCUniversal occupies in the iconic 30 Rockefeller Center building in New York as well as property in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., for $1.4 billion.
The sale of the Rockefeller Center floors includes naming rights to the building, which has featured giant red "GE" letters at its top since 1988, a prominent part of the New York skyline.
A spokesman for Philadelphia-based Comcast did not immediately comment on the company's plans for the 1933 Art Deco building.
GE's history with NBC goes back to 1919, when it co-founded the Radio Corporation of America, or RCA. The company pioneered commercial radio broadcasting. In 1926, RCA launched a television arm: the National Broadcasting Company, or NBC. Within two years, it had started the first regularly scheduled U.S. television programming in Schenectady, N.Y., then the site of GE headquarters.
GE sold its stake in RCA in 1932. But in 1986, GE ended up acquiring RCA, selling off its record label and television-manufacturing business. All that remained was NBC.
During the GE years, NBC was home to a number of hits including "Friends," ''Seinfeld," ''ER," ''Frasier," and the "West Wing." Millions of American tuned in each night to watch the network's lineup, which was sold as "Must See TV."
In 2009, GE sold its majority ownership of NBCUniversal to Comcast for $8 billion in cash and reduced its ownership share from 80 percent to 49 percent. Tuesday's sale of the remaining stake gives GE cash to focus on its industrial businesses, such as building train locomotives, wind turbines and lights.
In 2007, just before the financial crisis hit with full force, GE's finance arm accounted for about 55 percent of the company's earnings, according to spokesman Seth Martin. NBCUniversal contributed about $3 billion of the company's $22 billion in operating profit.
In 2012, GE's industrial segment — including a growing energy-infrastructure business — had a profit of $15.49 billion, compared with $7.4 billion from GE Capital.
General Electric CEO Immelt said that Tuesday's sale of NBCUniversal will allow his company to "accelerate our investment in our core businesses."
Showbiz might be sexy, but for GE the profit apparently is in manufacturing the devices that generate the power for our TVs.

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
The teaching of Chalcedon is that the incarnate Logos is one divine prosopon and one divine hypostasis in two natures (physeis), divine and human. This means that Christ is not a human prosopon or human hypostasis, while what you are advocating appears to conform to the teaching of Nestorius, who accepted the fact that in the incarnation Christ was one prosopon, but who then went on to deny the unity of His hypostasis, asserting instead that Christ had a human hypostasis and a divine hypostasis, and a human physis and a divine physis. Now prescinding from the christological problems inherent in your posts, as I see it our positions are still not compatible in triadology (any more than they are compatible in christology), because even though you argue that the qnoma corresponds to hypostasis in trinitarian theology (but not in christology), the problem of the procession (ekporeusis) of origin of the Spirit remains, because the Son is not a cause or principle in the origination of the person (understood as both prosopon and hypostasis) of the Spirit; instead, He (i.e., the Son) only participates in the Spirit's manifestation (phanerosis) as energy (cf. St. Gregory Palamas, "Dialogue between an Orthodox and a Barlaamite," no. 49).
But if, as I suspect, the concept of Qnoma is neither hypostasis, prosopon, ousia, energia or physis, but rather, an entirely different concept which has no equivalent in Greek, English or Latin; then it could very well be that Rony is not talking about a prosopic or hypostatic procession of the Spirit from both the Father and the Son. This is what I am trying to establish by examining the concept of Qnoma in Assyro-Chaldean Christology. If, as Rony says, Assyro-Chaldean Christology holds that the Incarnate Christ has two Qnoma, then clearly they can't mean "hypostases" or "prosopa" unless they are Nestorians. Therefore the "Qnomic Procession" of the Spirit does not refer to a Prosopic or Hypostatic Procession.
As far as the Trinity, and St. Gregory Palamas, he is not a theologian of our Church of the East, and very few Chaldeans have even heard of him. For Greek-Catholics, he is a great teacher, but for us, we have our equivalent: Mar Odisho of Soba.
If -- as you have indicated -- "qnoma" corresponds to hypostasis, then it appears as if you only accept a prosopic union, and not a hypostatic union, in Christ. Historically Nestorius also rejected a hypostatic union in favor of a prosopic union, and so your christological position does appear to mirror his position.
Chalcedon uses Greek terms, but it is essentially the same as this:--------------------Common Christological Declaration:Therefore our Lord Jesus Christ is true God and true man, perfect in his divinity and perfect in his humanity, consubstantial with the Father and consubstantial with us in all things but sin. His divinity and his humanity are united in one person, without confusion or change, without division or separation. In him has been preserved the difference of the natures of divinity and humanity, with all their properties, faculties and operations. But far from constituting "one and another", the divinity and humanity are united in the person of the same and unique Son of God and Lord Jesus Christ, who is the object of a single adoration.--------------------
Todd,In the Incarnation, the way we understand it is that the two Qnome, the Son and the Human Qnoma, unite, but do not become one Qnoma, rather they become the one Parsopa of the Union, who is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God.So, since you confess a single Hypostasis, and we don't confess a single Qnoma, then Qnoma can not correspond to Hypostasis.God bless,Rony
Hi Apotheoun,What is the difference between prosopon and hypostasis?
This is why Qnome caanot be quivalent to Hypostasis.
This makes me think that Qnome cannot be equivalent to ousia either. Like Qnome, Ousia does not exist in the abstract, but must exist withing an hypostasis, yet:
whereas in the Trinity, we confess One Ousia.
That said, it appears to me that hypostasis and qnoma are connected.
But you do say, one Ousia, three Hypostases (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) right? If so, would you say that the Hypostasis of the Father (or Son or Spirit) is a particularized essence? By particularized essence, I don't mean a general essence (Divinity, Ousia). In other words, would you define "that which stand under" as a particular essence?
The original disagreement between Rony and I stands unaffected by the present dialogue, because I do not accept the idea that the Holy Spirit as person (both as prosopon and hypostasis) proceeds (ekporeusis) through or from the Son. Instead, the Spirit as person (both as prosopon and hypostasis) receives His personal subsistent being from the Father alone, and not from or through the Son.Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit as energy (energeia), but not as person (i.e., prosopon and hypostasis), progresses (proienai) from the Father through the Son, but -- as I have already indicated above -- this progression (proienai) does not concern the eternal origin (ekporeusis) of the Spirit, but only His manifestation (phanerosis).
They seem somehow connected to me, but I wouldn't define hypostasis as "individualized ousia" as Rony defines Qnoma.Another thing I can't get my head around is what seems to me the fact that if Kyana is the One Divine Ousia, and Qnomo is "individualized ousia" then each Person of the Trinity has "two ousias"- the General one, and Their individual one. And of course, this would mean that Christ had three ousias at the Incarnation.
Todd,You should accept what Greek theology teaches you, and since you are already doing that, then it really has nothing to do with me. I am not a Greek Catholic, nor do I express the faith using Greek theology, but if I was, then this whole discussion would make more sense, because then we would be discussing the correct understanding of Greek theology.. . .God bless,Rony
Thanks for that explanation Rony.This is why Qnome caanot be quivalent to Hypostasis.This makes me think that Qnome cannot be equivalent to ousia either. Like Qnome, Ousia does not exist in the abstract, but must exist withing an hypostasis, yet:whereas in the Trinity, we confess One Ousia.
I would agree with you, but the Maronite position appears to be perfectly coordinate with the dogmatic decree (horos) of Chalcedon, while the position of Rony's own Church coordinates with that of the position taken by Nestorius.
Now whether Rony (or the Latin Church for that matter) likes it or not, the Greek language has a theological primacy in Christian theology, because it is the language of the inspired New Testament, and as a consequence it has a normative value. Interestingly, the theology professors I had at the Latin Catholic university that Rony is presently attending insisted upon this fact.
As I see it, it is the primacy of Greek language that ultimately makes the Latin Church's attempts to justify the use of the filioque in the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed problematic, because the fact that in the past the Latin Church has mistranslated the Greek words ekporeusis and proienai with the single Latin word processio is not a sufficient justification for causing confusion in connection with the Spirit's existential procession of origin (i.e., ekporeusis), which is from the Father alone, with His eternal energetic manifestation (phanerosis) or progression (proienai), which is from the Father through the Son.
Moreover, based upon Rony's own comments in connection with qnoma it appears that the term is related to the word hypostasis, since both terms seem to concern something that is essentially existent, and the Maronite Catholics appear to use the term in this precise fashion in their theology.
Finally, the Cappadocian Fathers chose the term hypostasis precisely for that reason (i.e., because it conveys the idea of concrete existence), and they used the word in order to complete and make concrete the term prosopon, which when taken alone was open to a Sabellian interpretation (cf. St. Basil's letters 38 and 236).
That said, based upon what Rony has said so far in this thread, I remain unconvinced that his christological and triadological views coordinate with historic Orthodoxy. I also am concerned by his apparent dogmatic relativism in christology and triadology, because it involves what I can only describe as a misguided attempt to make a form of Nestorianism acceptable.
Todd,I am not intending to answer for ozgeorge here, I just want to add a few comments.The Maronites accepted Chalcedon from the beginning, because they were in the Roman Empire.As for us, who were not in the Rome Empire, we fell out of communion with the rest of the Western Churches (Western meaning West of the Euphrates river) at the Synod of Mar Dadisho in 424 for political, not Christological reasons. Later, we were accused of Nestorianism. when we re-established full communion, we were required to revise certain things that seemed to be "Nestorian". The 1994 Declaration with the Assyrian Church effectively put an end to the accusation that the Assyrian Church was "Nestorian", therefore we Chaldeans are no longer forbidden to reclaim our traditional Christological position.
The Greek language does not have a theological primacy in our Church of the East. We accept Holy Tradition which we received in Aramaic, as the Pentecost passage in Acts 2 says when the residents of Mesopotamia received in their own language the Gospel, and subsequently when we were evangelized by the Apostolic mission. We represent a continuity with the early Semitic Christianity which was a non-hellenized Aramaic Christianity, as this form of Christianity spread to the Aramaic East into Iraq and further East.We also accept Holy Scripture, but we have no original copies of the New Testament, and so it not 100% certain among scholars that the NT were originally written in Greek (Greek Primacy), as there is a minority among scholars that accepts Aramaic Primacy. Personally, I accept that most of the New Testament was written in Greek, but I do hold that Matthew was written in Aramaic as there is Patristic mentioning of this. Some Assyrians and Chaldeans hold to Aramaic Primacy. In any case, we use the Pshytta version of the Bible, an Aramaic Bible, in our theology and liturgy. Therefore, the Aramaic NT that we have has normative value for our Church of the East.
We confess two Kyane, two Qnome, one Parsopa, and if you see this as "Nestorianism", then there is nothing I can do about it other than to tell you that it is not "Nestorianism". This is our heritage in the Church of the East, and I have no authority to change anything of it. If you want, you can try to contact our bishops and discuss it with them, I highly recommend you to talk with Bishop Mar Bawai Soro, and he will explain this Christology to you. If you want to buy his book, you can get it here: http://www.lulu.com/content/1670586
The reason that Chalcedon is worded the way it is, i.e., by using the terms prosopon and hypostasis in order to assert the fully unity of the incarnate Logos, was precisely in order to exclude the Nestorians, who could not in good conscience endorse the decree because it contradicted their own theological position.
There is nothing inherent to the Chalcedonian decree that would make it amenable to the Nestorians.
A strong argument can be made, however, that Chalcedon read together with Constantinople II is not amenable to the Nestorians.
St. Gregory Palamas, great as he is, is personally irrelelvant; while the distinction between essence (ousia) and energy (energeia) or power (dynamis), which goes back to the New Testament itself, and to the Fathers of the first four centuries, is quite relevant.
This "common christological declaration" has no dogmatic value, and is simply an agreement signed between the Roman Church and the Assyrian Church. It certainly cannot be held to have the same value as Chalcedon, which is a binding decree (horos) of an ecumenical council.
The Assyrian Church of the East officially only accepts the first two Councils of the Roman Empire as Ecumenical, in addition to the acceptance of the Church Synods, and so this Common Christological Declaration is the next step up, and since it was signed by their Patriarch, who, in the Church of the East Ecclesialogy, has Primacy over the local bishops, then this is binding on them.For us members of the Chaldean Catholic Church of the East, we see this Declaration signed by the Pope as the official acceptance of the orthodoxy of the traditional Church of the East Christology in the Catholic Church. As regards the Church of the East ecclesiology on the Pope, this is how Mar Odisho (Church Father in both our Church, as well as, the Assyrian Church) teaches about him:----------------". . . . And as the patriarch has authority to do all he wishes in a fitting manner in such things as are beneath his authority, so the patriarch of Rome has authority over all patriarchs, like the blessed Peter over all the community, for he who is in Rome also keeps the office of Peter in all the church. He who transgresses against these things the ecumenical synod places under anathema." (Memra 9; Risha 8 ).---------------And So, this Common Christological Declaration signed by the Pope allows us to Interpret the Christological Councils of the Roman Empire in accordance with the traditional Christology of the Church of the East. We take what is essential in these Christological Councils, and express them in our Aramaic tradition in accordance with the traditional Church of the East theology.Ok. In any case, the Church of the East was outside the Roman Empire, in the Persian Empire, having already fallen out of communion with the rest of the Churches to their west, for political reasons.God bless,Rony
The fact that Persian Nestorians misinterpreted the decree of Chalcedon does not change the Council Fathers teaching itself, any more than a man who misinterprets John 1:14 in an Apollinarian fashion alters the real meaning of the sacred text.
Todd and everyone else,This weekend and next week up to Saturday, I will not be available to post due to my academic commitments in this Summer. God willing, I will be back not on this Sunday, but next Sunday, and will try to catch up with more postings. I tend to take a lot of time when posting, and so I'm not as fast in replying as others Till next time, take care everyone, and God bless,Rony
Salpy,Anyone can misinterpret things, and that is why one must always return to the original sources.That said, Chalcedon accepts the miaphysis theology of St. Cyril, while simply rejecting monophysitism, which the Oriental Orthodox also reject.The canons of Constantinople II make it clear that Chalcedon must not be read in such a way that it causes division in Christ, for the difference of the two natures can only be taken in a "theoretical manner" (canon 7).
Rony, Hypostasis, as used by St. Gregory of Nyssa, is basically understood to be a concrete or particular essence, and so in some sense it parallels (but is not identical to) Aristotle's ousia prote; while the divine ousia, which for the Cappadocians is utterly transcendent and unknowable, tends to be connected with Aristotle's ousia deutera, except that the apophaticism of Basil and the two Gregories means that it (i.e., the divine ousia) is ultimately beyond human thought and predication (cf. Diogenes Allen, "Philosophy for Understanding Theology," pages 66-72). So it does appear as though there is a connection between the use of the word hypostasis by the Cappadocian Fathers and qnoma understood as a particular essence, which means that the Maronite usage of that term, in both triadology and christology, corresponds to the teaching of the Cappadocians and Chalcedon, while the use of the term by your sui juris Church does not.Todd
I understand your position, I simply do not agree with it, because I do not see how it can be said to be Orthodox in light of the decree of Chalcedon.
The problem I have with Rony's position is that it seems to be absolutely relativistic, especially when you look at the Maronites, whose theological viewpoint seems to coordinate well with the teaching of the Cappadocians and the Council of Chalcedon.
So it does appear as though there is a connection between the use of the word hypostasis by the Cappadocian Fathers and qnoma understood as a particular essence, which means that the Maronite usage of that term, in both triadology and christology, corresponds to the teaching of the Cappadocians and Chalcedon, while the use of the term by your sui juris Church does not.
I speak English not Greek, but I recognize the normative value of the Greek language in theology, because -- for whatever reason -- God chose to inspire the New Testament authors by having them use Greek.Translations of the Greek scriptures, and translations of Greek theological terminology, is fine with me, but the original language always retains its normative value.
Just as the bishop of Rome does not have the power to unilaterally alter the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed by adding the word "filioque" to it; so too he does not have the authority to authorize any Church to accept a christological position at variance with the teaching of the Council of Chalcedon.
I have never heard anyone seriously argue the position that you are advocating. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, and so the Greek language is theologically normative. Clearly, we will never come to an agreement on this issue.
I remain unconvinced that your position is reconcilable with Chalcedonian Orthodoxy. Thus, as I see it, you are a Nestorian.
And yet the Persian Church (the Church of the East) accepted the Chalcedonian definition, at least initially prior to Constantinople II. The reason why the Armenian Church rejected Chalcedon in the early sixth century is because the Persian Church was asserting that Chalcedon vindicated its position. Also, Nestorius lived long enough to read Pope Leo's tome and he speaks favorably of Pope Leo in the Bazaar of Heracleides. So there must be something that allows the language of Chalcedon to be interpreted in a way that is friendly to to Rony's Church.
As I said, we aren't going to agree. The Pope does not have the power to alter anything taught by the seven great councils.
That said, Chalcedon accepts the miaphysis theology of St. Cyril
My first question is, does the Chaldean Church accept the phrase, "One of the Trinity suffered in the flesh?"
My second question is, does the Chaldean Church teach that Christ's divinity and humanity ever seperated?
For example, on the Cross, when Christ said, "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Do you believe that at that moment Christ's divinity left Him and that is why He said that?

A cool, decent, loving and sincere well settled person need a lady with similar qualities who is loyal and down to earth loving .
It's about time you got on with building some new relationships!
It's pretty easy to find if B1952 interested in you, but you'll need to tread carefully. All may not be as it first seems. After spending the time to find the right Abbottabad dating site to join, chances are you want to get straight on with finding all those new Pakistani friends and mates. On the other hand, you may just want to sit back and rest a little! There's nothing much wrong with that because you will have already created a great profile to interest people from Pakistan. Your profile is bound to show up in other people's searches.
Finding your Abbottabad match.
Whilst you may be feeling a little lethargic right now, please take the time to return mails if B1952 should find and contact you. In other words support Pakistani males online community to which you have now become a part of. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting for someone to reply. Even if you don't like the look of a woman who is contacted you, a simple reply will do the trick.
Of course, the best way to go about finding your perfect Abbottabad partner is to be a little more pro-active. In fact, you will at least double your chances of finding someone you like if you actually take the effort to look - makes sense really, doesn't it! So make sure you don't "sit back and do nothing" for any real length of time. You'll get much more out of the experience if you really get stuck right in!

The new MySQL 5.6 release adds instrumentation that enables developers and DBAs to better understand what is happening at all layers of the MySQL server. One of the major improvements is the addition of statement statistics, in either a raw (per-statement) or aggregate form, with the ability to drill down into the stages of execution that each statement goes through. It also enables further drill down into the low-level
wait events that occur during each stage of execution.
Performance Schema Introduction
Introduced in MySQL 5.5, the Performance Schema is a new default database schema (called
performance_schema), focused primarily on low-level performance metrics of the MySQL server runtime. This feature is designed to complement the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA, which is focused on database metadata.
The tables in the
performance_schema database use a new storage engine (called
PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA), which is specifically designed for tracking the low-level information required to profile the server. All tracked performance metrics are stored in fixed-size ring buffers, which are allocated when the MySQL database is started. (It's designed this way for performance, so no costly memory allocation is needed while recording performance statistics).
INFORMATION_SCHEMA, all data within
performance_schema is non-persistent performance metrics within it are reset when the MySQL Database is restarted. The core job of
performance_schema is to track events. With MySQL 5.6, there are now three classes of events:
- Statement Events: Per-statement statistics, such as runtime, lock time, etc.
- Stage Events: These record the stages of statement execution, such as optimizing, sending data, etc.
- Wait Events: These track low-level wait periods, such as file I/O, network I/O, mutex contention points, etc.
Each of these events is classified by Instruments. Each defined instrument records runtime statistics on a specific aspect of the MySQL database, with the naming convention for each wait event instrument following a hierarchical taxonomy:
Class/Order/Family/Genus/Species, while stages and statements only go as far as the
Family level. For instance, file I/O against an InnoDB data file is called
wait/io/file/innodb/innodb_data_file, while a
wait on an InnoDB Buffer Pool mutex is called
Within the current version of MySQL 5.6, there are 541 individual instrumentation points that Performance Schema can track, across 11 major types of instrumentation:
statement/sql/: Normal SQL statement executions (DML or DDL, etc.)
statement/com/: Protocol level commands
stage/sql/:The stages within each statement execution
wait/io/file/: File I/O to data/index files or logs
wait/io/socket/: Network I/O between the clients and server
wait/io/table/: I/O between the storage engines and the SQL layer of the server
wait/lock/table/: Table locks (at the SQL layer, not including InnoDB row-level locks)
wait/synch/mutex/: Attempts to grab a mutex lock internally within the server
wait/synch/rwlock/: Attempts to grab a read/write lock internally within the server
wait/synch/cond/: Waiting on a condition to be raised within the server
idle:Records the time that a connection sits idle
For each event, there are two core performance metrics tracked: the number of times that the event happened, and the latency of each event down to picosecond (thousandth of a nanosecond) precision. On top of this, there may be various other statistics recorded, which differ based upon the type of instrumentation point. For instance, a file I/O event will record the file that was being accessed, the type of file access (open, read, write, sync, close, and so on), and how many bytes were read or written.
When enabled, each instrument is tracked with
Consumers, which are individual tables within Performance Schema that track the events in various ways. The major consumers are:
mysql> SHOW TABLES FROM performance_schema -> WHERE Tables_in_performance_schema LIKE '%current' -> OR Tables_in_performance_schema LIKE '%history%'; +--------------------------------+ | Tables_in_performance_schema | +--------------------------------+ | events_stages_current | | events_stages_history | | events_stages_history_long | | events_statements_current | | events_statements_history | | events_statements_history_long | | events_waits_current | | events_waits_history | | events_waits_history_long | +--------------------------------+
Each type of table has these characteristics:
*_currenttracks the currently executing or last executed event per thread
*_historytracks the last 10 events executed per thread
*_history_longtracks the last 10,000 events executed globally
The data from these tables is then further aggregated over several different dimensions. More information is available in the Performance Schema documentation.
Configuring Performance Schema for Profiling in Development
As of MySQL 5.6, Performance Schema is enabled by default. However, not all instrumentation has been enabled by default, as this can impact overall performance of the MySQL database when used in production. With production deployments in mind, only the higher latency types of events are enabled automatically: statements, file I/O, table I/O, table locks, and idle events.
When profiling your application activity in development, it's beneficial to have much more information available to you at the cost of a little runtime overhead to get at those performance metrics. Instruments can be enabled in two ways: either at server start, using the
performance_schema_instrument system variable; or via the
performance_schema.setup_instruments table at runtime, which has this structure:
mysql> SELECT * FROM performance_schema.setup_instruments; +-----------------------------------------------+---------+-------+ | NAME | ENABLED | TIMED | +-----------------------------------------------+---------+-------+ | wait/synch/mutex/sql/PAGE::lock | NO | NO | | wait/synch/mutex/sql/TC_LOG_MMAP::LOCK_sync | NO | NO | ... | wait/io/file/innodb/innodb_data_file | YES | YES | | wait/io/file/innodb/innodb_log_file | YES | YES | ... +-----------------------------------------------+---------+-------+
Any of the tables within the Performance Schema whose names are prefixed with
setup_ can be used to update the configuration dynamically using a regular
UPDATE statement. For example, use the following statement to enable all instruments dynamically:
UPDATE performance_schema.setup_instruments SET enabled = 'YES', timed = 'YES';
Once this is set, you can use the following statement to disable all mutex instruments:
UPDATE performance_schema.setup_instruments SET enabled = 'NO', timed = 'NO' WHERE name LIKE 'wait/synch/mutex/%';
performance_schema.setup_consumers table can be modified in the same way for consumers. A good base configuration to use in your options file during development is to enable everything on server start:
[mysqld] performance_schema performance_schema_instrument = '%=on' performance_schema_consumer_events_stages_current = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_stages_history = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_stages_history_long = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_statements_history = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_statements_history_long = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_waits_current = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_waits_history = ON performance_schema_consumer_events_waits_history_long = ON

I have been following a Blog, Historic Places in South Jersey, for some time and have been in contact with the Blogger. Afterall, she is a docent at my 5th Great Grandparents home. Yesterday, Sunday, I noticed this entry.
Gee, a Genealogy Day at the Whitall House.
Quickly had Patti text to Carrie, to let her know what I was doing, showered, and out the door in record time. Once again, I am reminded how nice it is go live within 4 or 5 hours from where my ancestors lived. This one is about 1 1/2 hours away.
My first item on the agenda was to meet my blogger buddy. Found her in the "hospital".
Finally, got to meet her in person. Way cool.
Carrie arrived, and the fun began. We went back to the "hospital" and introduced Carrie to the "nurse".
This room was presenting what the room may have looked like, during the battle that took place at Fort Mercer, right next door. Ann Cooper Whitall opened the house to "both sides". This, as I understand it, would not allow Carrie to join the DAR, due to recent activities that took Ann Cooper Whitall from being a Patriot, as she took in both the both sides of the war.
In the next room, we would meet "new cousins". A gentleman and HIS daughter, for the same reason, visiting our Ancestors home.
We are in the "front room" with the "hospital" behind us. We would spend the next hour or so, walking through the Whitall House, sharing stories.

Now to begin our journey in sharing our research and see how we are related. We are descendants of James (1716-1797) and Ann Cooper Whitall (1717-1808).
One item of interest, is that Ann Cooper Whitall kept a Diary and it was on display.

On the Plan or Opening Screen, is a list of Tasks to be done in this file and some notes that I want remind me of what or why somethings are in this file.
When the Task is created (topic and details later) there is a choice to place a priority on the task or note. This is the High Priority List in this file. This contains the Task Description, the Task For, Category / Location, Due, and the Date Created. Remember that this is just a summary.
Here is what is indicated here:
- Task Description – A brief description of the Task or Note. For example, the first one is "?? Fort or Ft. ??" . It is marked as Follow Up in the Category / Location column. This is a note for me to make a determination on how I want to "name" a military location, like Ft. Dix, New Jersey, in the Location or Description fields.
- Task For – In the screen above, the Task For is a General Task. In another part of the full Task List, might contain the identify (and link) to a specific individual that needs to be followed up on.
- Category / Location – In this example, I have Follow Up or Notes. The Notes are for my general notes on why certain things appear in the data base. For example, I have a number of Place Names that have not been resolved. There are two entries that start "Do Not Resolve" as a reminder as to the plan to resolve this Place Names. (more later)
- Due – A Date can be entered here. The Date of Completion will be entered when the Task Is completed.
- Date Created – The date when the entry was created.
My use of this feature is to remind me what I am doing and why AND a ToDo List that need to be followed up on. In an earlier Blog Entry, the full opening (Plan) screen showed that there are several Family Files that are being used. Each file, when opened, will bring up its own ToDo List.

The Exchange was started in 2005, with six participants from different areas of the United States. The group is currently made up of 35 members from 14 countries worldwide. The participants of The Exchange trade names and personal styles through sketches. This step is repeated until everyone in the group has traded outlines at least once.
The sketches are drawn, scanned, and traded via email. They are then printed out and executed by the receiving artist in their particular city.
The objective is to create an awareness of distinct lettering styles and trends. The goal is for all in the group to be able to become more versatile through attempts at graffiti styles out of their personal comfort zone. The artists in the group may learn new techniques and compositions from the exchange.

Custom Shop /
Eric Clapton Tribute Stratocaster®
Eric Clapton bought the Stratocaster® he affectionately nicknamed "Brownie" secondhand at Sound City in London on May 7, 1967, a few days before Cream flew to New York to record their second album, Disraeli Gears. It was a 1956 Stratocaster® with a two-colored sunburst finish and a well-worn maple neck and fingerboard.
You don't need to go to London or travel back to 1967, however. The limited edition Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton "Brownie" Stratocaster® will be available internationally this May.
The guitar comes in a special black textured vinyl Derek and the Dominos "Fragile" case that also contains several special extras, including a numbered certificate of authenticity hand-signed by Clapton, the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition box set of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, a Fender Custom Shop story and photo album booklet, and a Crossroads Antigua brochure.

Post subject: First Time Noticing Mark Whalberg
I must admit that I just recently became a Mark Whalberg fan. I have seen him play in a movie or two before and never really felt anything like this before. Now, when I see him -- I'm more in tuned with what he says and what he does. I'm anticipating seeing him in his next scene. And I think about him even when I'm not watching his movies. Now, I've even found his looks quite familiar with my husband, and even more intense is that my husband agrees that there are similarities. I really love Mark Whalberg and wish him much success in his life on and off screen. I haven't been this obsessed with an actor in such a long time. It has motivated me to get as many of his movies that I've never seen before which was almost all except one. I hope he continues to act because he's really incredible. I'm trying to cope with having this infactuation -- it is odd for me because I feel as though I know him and understand him. Is that how it feels to be a Mark Whalberg fan? Because I know I need help -- since I have to see his face everyday, by looking at his pictures online. I know that he is special -- because this heart doesn't fall very easily. It just feels good to be able to express it -- and maybe the intensity will calm my soul. Love and best wishes to the continued success of Mark Whalberg.

Thanks Marks baby love,
I was feeling maybe I'd rambled on a little too much -- but, when I started typing my feelings about Mark, I felt it was therapeutic. And now since I've received a response -- it's even more satisfying and I feel the connection. Thank you for your encouragement and I am glad to be among those who view this incredible actor as someone who is more than just a handsome face, but an individual who touches all emotions and crosses all barriers of distinctions. To Mark and to all those who love what he has accomplished.

New London finance committee approves cuts of $940,000
New London - The City Council's Finance Committee on Tuesday night approved close to $940,000 in cuts to the $42.3 million budget that failed at referendum last week.
The committee forwarded a budget proposal with a 5.1 percent tax increase to the full council for discussion at a special meeting Thursday.
The cuts include the mayor's proposal to trim $250,000 from the police department by leaving five vacancies open this year. Those five would be in addition to 10 vacancies already left open in the 2012-13 budget, leaving the department with 81 employees.
The full council will discuss the proposed $41.4 million budget proposal at 6 p.m. Thursday. The proposal is 2.4 percent less of a tax increase than last week's failed proposal of 7.5 percent. The proposed tax rate, also passed Tuesday, is 26.6 mills, which is 0.62 mills less than the failed proposal.
Each motion passed 2 to 1, with Councilors Michael Passero and Adam Sprecace voting in favor of the proposals and Councilor John Maynard against.
The cuts discussed Tuesday were identical to those presented at Monday's finance meeting, which was continued because Maynard requested additional time to propose cuts that would avoid the cuts to the police budget.
Maynard on Tuesday called for cutting anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 from most department heads' salaries and leaving certain positions, like a fire battalion chief post, vacant. He also proposed adding a public works employee at a roughly $50,000 salary to cut down on overtime costs in that department. Finance Director Jeffrey Smith estimated Maynard's cuts would total about $272,000 in savings.
"That's actual money savings, not eliminating positions," Maynard said. "It's more or less downsizing the amount we pay our government or upper management to have more feet on the street, or plows on the road, in this case."
But Maynard's changes failed by a 2-to-1 committee vote. Though the committee comprises only three members, six of the seven city councilors attended the committee meeting. Councilor Donald Macrino did not attend.
Just days after voters rejected the budget, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio announced he was laying off his administrative assistant. The savings from that decision will be about $45,000, while another $280,000 would be cut from the finance office because a proposal to combine the municipal and school business offices will not be done this fiscal year.
The city also could save about $500,000 by restructuring its debt. Passero said that estimate "is the one wild card in this budget" but is a necessary risk.
"We could survive that and run into any other problems in the next nine months," he said. "Everything is a gamble."
The committee's budget also includes some budget increases, including about $60,000 for an audit, about $73,000 to the law director's budget and $5,300 for additional Southeast Area Transit (SEAT) bus dues.
Earlier in the meeting, the committee voted unanimously to bring to the council a proposal to commission an operational audit of most city departments. The cost could total approximately $30,000, but Sprecace said he thought it was a "good investment."
The operational audit could serve as a "stepping stone" for a forensic audit if the examination of city finances finds discrepancies, Sprecace said.
"This is an important milestone, financially, for the city," he said.
The full council will pick up discussion of the operational audit during its regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

Preparations for Crossing the Jordan. 1Early the next morning, Joshua and all the Israelites moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, where they stayed before crossing over. 2a Three days later the officers went through the camp 3b and issued these commands to the people: "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD, your God, which the levitical priests will carry, you must break camp and follow it, 4that you may know the way to take, for you have not gone over this road before. But let there be a space of two thousand cubits between you and the ark: do not come nearer to it." 5Joshua also said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will perform wonders among you." 6And he told the priests, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross ahead of the people"; so they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.
7c Then the LORD said to Joshua: Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.d 8Now command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, "When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, there take your stand."
9So Joshua said to the Israelites, "Come here and listen to the words of the LORD, your God." 10He continued: "By this you will know that there is a living God in your midst: he will certainly dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.e 11The ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth will cross the Jordan before you. 12Now choose twelve men,f one from each of the tribes of Israel. 13When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of the LORD, the Lord of the whole earth, touch the waters of the Jordan, it will cease to flow; the water flowing down from upstream will halt in a single heap."*
The Crossing Begun. 14The people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant ahead of them. 15When those bearing the ark came to the Jordan and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were immersed in the waters of the Jordan—which overflows all its banks during the entire season of the harvest—* 16the waters flowing from upstream halted, standing up in a single heapg for a very great distance indeed, from Adam, a city in the direction of Zarethan; those flowing downstream toward the Salt Sea of the Arabah disappeared entirely.* Thus the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 17The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood on dry ground in the Jordan riverbedh while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until the whole nation had completed the crossing of the Jordan.
* [3:13] Heap: Heb. nēd, the same word found in Ex 15:8; the narrative echoes the ancient Song of Miriam (Ex 15:1–18), which celebrates the crossing of the Red Sea. Thus the language provides another parallel between Joshua and Moses, conquest and exodus.
* [3:15] Season of the harvest: toward the end of March and the beginning of April, when the barley and other crops that grew during the rainy season of winter were reaped. The crossing took place "on the tenth day of the first month" of the Hebrew year, which began with the first new moon after the spring equinox; cf. 4:19. At this time of the year the Jordan would be swollen as a result of the winter rains and the melting snow of Mount Hermon.
* [3:16] Some scholars have suggested that this account may reflect an annual ritual reenactment of the event near the sanctuary of Gilgal.

Photo Guide: Republic Commandos Fixer and Boss
January 28, 2011 5 Comments
The Republic Commando video game was a huge hit with Star Wars fans and gamers alike, so it's great for them to finally receive some attention in the form of Galactic Heroes. The first 2 members of Delta Squad to be created are the green-striped Fixer and the orange-trimmed Boss. Both figures are impressive, and really stand out among the other Clones created in the line.

I will save a newspaper or magazine from your birth day, my sons, for you to reminisce about (G-d willing). I will also plant two oaks for my twin sons to grow along with you. Your matka (mother), will commemorate your birth in so many more ways, including planting trees in the Middle-East (i.e. Israel).

Cope & Stick Routed Arch
I am building a Pennsylvania style secretary desk which includes a small tombstone door in the center of the gallery. For this small door I am going to stray from the traditional mortise & tenon joinery and use a set of cope & stick router bits made for this type of small door.
I would like your advice on the best way to safely rout the top arched portion of the rail using the cope & stick router bits on a router table.
Thanks in advance
There are couple of ways to safely make the profile for small arches when using cope-and-stick router bits. My first suggestion is to use router bits that are bearing-guided. Given that, I would either employ a carrier that has a couple of handles that I could grab as I work and it has a couple of hold-downs to secure the workpiece as the previously arched edge is cut. I use a carrier when I rout handles for my brass-head mallets. This allows me to keep my hands far away from the cutting action. And while this does not concern me when I'm routing with small profiles such as round-over bits and chamfer bits, it is a concern when spinning bits the size of most cope-and-stick router bits.
If you do not want to make a carrier, then I would suggest that you make the profile on a board that is wide enough to hold securely as you work. After the arch cut is profiled using the cope-and-stick bit setup, slice the usable rail from the wide board, sometimes referred to as a "motherboard."
Each of the above is accomplished only after the end profiles are first cut. Great Question.

Square Pegs
Can I get your advice on pegging a frame and panel door for a cherry spice box? I want square pegs. Would you recommend rounds pegs with square ends, as I recall reading somewhere? As I'm almost done the box, and I worry about splitting. I suppose I'll want cherry pegs. I was thinking that maybe it's best to make the peg hole square, to be on the safe side, but I believe that traditionally they used square pegs in round holes (?).
Here is the what and how. Begin with a square section of peg that is twice as long as the thickness of the material through which it is to be driven – for a 3/4″ thick door, begin with a 1 1/2″ peg.) Size your peg and hole to the same size. If I use a 1/4″ hole, then I also prepare a 1/4″ square peg. Begin by paring one end of your peg to a round shape – I often use a pencil sharpener for this step. The reason I round the end is to facilitate an easier start and to better guide the peg into and through the hole.
To install your peg, add a bit of glue to the hole, then drive the peg through. If you are working on a peg that you do not wish to glue throughout the hole (think breadboard ends), then drive it into the hole leaving a 1/4″ of peg standing above the surface, add glue to the outstanding 1/4″ then finish driving the peg flush. Also, work with a backer board so as not to blow out the back face.

Desk Lid Hinges
After a short break, I am back to working on my slant front desk. The reply you sent several months ago really helped me out. I am hoping for some more help. In the placement of the desk lid hinges, how should the barrel be placed in reference to the writing surface edge? Hinge Barrel completely out and allow the other leaf to lay against the edge or should half of the barrel stick out?
Here is how I take on the hinge placement. A leaf should be cut into the writing surface and the lid with no amount of barrel buried. When you get the hinges installed, close the lid and look at the lid's fit. If you need to snug the lid a bit tighter to the angled case side, move the writing surface leaf inward a small amount. If you have a nice fit where your lid meets the case side, then you need to access the fit of the gap between the writing surface and lid. If that gap is minimal, you're finished.
If, however, you have a gap that is larger than needed, you can adjust the leaf that fits into the lid – slide it in slightly to lessen the gap. If your gap is too tight – this you would have noticed as you attempted to close the lid the first time – you can slip the hinge out of the leaf a small amount. This results in a small gap at the back edge of the hinge and could be filled if unsightly. This adjustment is seldom needed.

Shaker Counter (PWM June 2012)
Really liked the counter in the June popular woodworking. Could you explain how the vertical stile in the front is fit into or attaches to the bottom rail?
Sometimes woodworkers over-think joinery. Myself, I like to keep it simple. In this case, I attached the vertical divider to the bottom rail using a mortise-and-tenon joint. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. This is also why I strongly suggest that readers of Popular Woodworking Magazine learn the basics of Google SketchUp. Each project featured in the magazine is drawn in SketchUp and the model is loaded into the magazine's 3D warehouse (click here). The program is free to download as is the models. And the models have so much information. (Remember to click on the photo to open a larger view.)

That Tricky Rabbet
I have started on a slant front desk based on the New England Secretary in one of your books. I have one question as I prepare the sides; what is the distance from the top of the writing surface to the start of the slant? It looks to be somewhere between 3/4″ and 1″, but I am not sure and it is not shown in the book.
John S
That's a question I get a lot. The answer depends on the thickness of your lid – more exactly, on the thickness of its rabbeted edge.
Take a look at the photo. You need to start with your writing surface laid in, then determine the rabbeted area of your lid which would be 1/2″ on a 3/4″-thick lid if you are using a 1/4″ lip. Create a setup similar to the one shown in the photo to determine your length. My longer rule is attached at the edge of the desk top. The two rules are set to form a 90 degree corner with the 6″ rule measuring the thickness of my rabbet. (You can see how this figure could change based on your rabbet, lid and lip dimensions.)
Another method is to figure the distance algebraically using A squared + B squared = C squared where the measurement you're searching for is C and the rabbet of your lid is both A and B. Using 1/2″ as the rabbet thickness results in a slightly under 3/4″ measurement. (Again, you can see how the size shifts given the thickness of your rabbet.)

Tall Clock Dial Size
Hi Glen,
I have a year old copy of your "Building Period Furniture" that now looks like 10 year old copy (well used). I have two block fronts about 90% complete, two secretary bottoms about 50% complete. I like to build two at a time. While I am waiting for some more mahogany I am drawing the bench rod for the Pennsylvania tall case clock.
To keep proportions as perfect as they look, I am wondering what is the dial size you used in this clock and who is the supplier. Looking at suppliers here in the UK the the largest dial seems to be 280mm x 395mm. which seems too small. I bought your "Finishes that Pop" DVD just before Christmas. Great informative DVD.
Thank You,
Northern Ireland
Greetings Alan,
I'm glad to see your book getting such use. You are taking on very nice projects. I enjoyed building them, as well.
You are correct on your assessment of the dial sizes. Your dials are undersized as to what I use and what is a common size here in the States. The dial for my clock was 12.5″ wide (317.5mm, if my conversion is correct) by 17.625″ tall (447.675mm).
The movement I used for the clock in the book was produced by David Lindow (Click here to visit his web site). You can get more information, movements and dials from Mike Siemsen's web site (Click here).
Best of luck on your projects and …

What is That Finish?
Hi Glen,
I am familiar with your aniline dye/shellac finish for a deeper tiger maple finish. I always seem to get a finish that is too shiny. I noticed that you recommend a " dull-rubbed" lacquer. Is that the name of the kind of lacquer, a rubbed out lacquer or what?
Hey Bob,
When using shellac, I generally use either of two options to knock down the sheen. I either rub-out the finish using #0000 steel wool (sometimes I use wool lube to make the work a little easier), or I topcoat my project with a pre-cat lacquer from Sherwin Williams with a dull-rubbed effect sheen. The low sheen finish is made so by adding flattening agents to the lacquer. Sherwin Williams sells this product through its commercial divisions, not in the regular paint stores.
Another option that I am just beginning to explore is to use a water-based urethane in a satin finish, such as General Finishes Enduro-Var Satin. With this product, you apply a single coat, then after it's dry lightly rub with steel wool.

Small Diameter Router Bits
I am a home shop woodworker who makes reproductions of American Colonial furniture. I am having trouble finding a way to make 1/16" vein line for string inlay. Is there a 1/16″ router bit available or how else does one prepare for a 1/16" string inlay. I have previously used a 1/8" bit to inlay 1/8" string inlay and that worked very well, but in some pieces a 1/8" string inlay is too thick for the piece at hand.
I bought two of your books and have enjoyed studying them and using some of the demonstrated techniques on the pieces I have reproduced.
Several of the pieces I have made were from Lester Margon's 1949 book "Construction of American Furniture Treasures". It's a great hobby!!
Montgomery, AL
Hey Henry,
I'm glad that you found a few ideas in my books to make woodworking better for you. I, too, have spent many hours looking through Mr. Margon's book – it's a great woodworking book.
There are 1/16″ router bits to be found. If you visit inlaybandings.com there is a section that has router bits used for inlay work. The site also sells inlay and banding in many different configurations. I especially like the router bits because they are longer than many other 1/16″ bits available – as such, they reach past patterns and get to the workpiece. These bits have an 1/8"-diameter shank, so you would also need to purchase a sleeve (shown in the middle) unless you have an appropriate collet for your router or are working with a hand-held rotary tool such as a Dremel.
Bosch has 1/16″ bits, too. These bits have shorter cutting lengths which could require that you set-up differently in order to use them for inlay as it is more difficult to reach past patterns. The Bosch bit has a 1/4"- diameter shank.
I would suggest that you pick up a couple bits when and if you order. Bits this small tend to break more easily than larger diameter bits.
If you have additional questions, please contact me again.

How to Size Doors
Good Morning Glen,
My question is on your beautiful corner cabinet in the 100 best Shelving&Storage CD. (Ed. note: first published in Popular Woodworking Magazine in December 2002, issue #131, and is available now as a PDF, click here). How did you cut the bead detail on the stile of the door? Also ,as a professional woodworker, when building your doors, do you make them a little over sized then trim them to fit? If so, how much over sized?
Thanks for your help,
On the original corner cabinet as it sits here in my home, the right-hand door laps over the left-hand door and the bead is cut on the right door which is then rabbeted to fit over the second door. I cut the bead using a 1/4″ bead router bit set in a router table – you could also use a molding-head cutter if you have that available. As I look at that piece, it is because of the 1/2″ over 1/4″ lap that the bead works without weakening the detail.
A better technique would be to apply the bead to the rabbeted door just after your rabbet. That would require that you raise the bit out of your table by 5/16″ given a 3/8″ lap, or use a molding-head cutter in your table saw. A simple drawing of the two is included.
When I build door, such as the inset doors on the corner cabinet, I build to the exact size of the opening then trim to a 1/16″ reveal. If the doors are overlay doors, I build them similar to how I build drawer – over-sized by 5/8″ with rabbets of 3/8″. The difference provides me with a 1/16″ reveal, too.

Cherry Finish Idea
Dear Glen,
I'm getting ready to finish a Chester County spice box I made in curly cherry. I did some line and berry inlay with holly stringing. I used holly and walnut for berries (I had to remove the redwood berries because they did not contrast well against the cherry primary wood).
Your spice box articles were excellent and very helpful. I am unsure if I should try to protect the holly inlay with shellac before I dye the piece. Would a coat of shellac over the entire piece work (which would be much easier than trying to cover just the inlay) in order to prevent a smudged look from dye directly applied to the holly inlay?
Another option is not to dye the cherry at all, and just let it age naturally. I'd just use shellac I think in that case. I assume that blonde shellac alone would preserve the brightness of the white holly. How would you finish a piece like this?
Thanks very much for any advice,
Forest, VA
You have reached the point in building Chester County (and Federal pieces for that matter) where decisions need to be made. Unfortunately, there is no way to protect your inlay from dyes and stains other than to cover it prior to further work. I also think that to cover each length of stringing is a particularly difficult task to be avoided by all means necessary, and to shellac the entire box minimizes the ability to add color to your cherry.
Here is what I would do. Apply a single coat of boiled linseed oil to your spice box then allow it to age in sunlight whenever possible. While oil will slightly change the holly white, sunlight, as you know, darkens your cherry without huge changes in holly and walnut. I believe that the oil helps quicken this process and builds a nice chestnut color. After a week or so of sunlight, decide if there is enough contrast between the cherry and inlay. If so, finish your box with blonde shellac. If not, allow more time for the contrast to build before applying a finish coat, or coats. Also remember that your cherry will continue to darken over time and the inlay will change little, so contrast will look better over time.

SIT-A-LONG with Taigu FUKANZAZENGI 5
Furthermore, the whole body far transcends dust and dirt: who could believe in the means of sweeping and polishing? In general, we never depart from the place where we should be: of what use, then, are the tiptoes of training?
De plus, le corps dans sa totalité est au delà de toute poussière, qui peut croire qu'il est besoin de l épousseter et le polir ? En général, jamais nous ne quittons cet endroit mémé, pourquoi se soumettre alors a un entrainement diligent?
This section refers to the legendary contest in the Platform Sutra between the talented and gifted student and the ignorant and inspired kitchen boy , Huineng, who will ultimately receive the transmission and robe.
The knowledgeable student writes...
The body is a Bodhi [Perfect Wisdom] tree, the mind a standing mirror bright. At all times polish it diligently, and let no dust alight.
and Huineng answers:
Bodhi is no tree, nor is the mind a standing mirror bright. Since all is originally empty, where does the dust alight?
Of course, both poems are valid. They complement each other, offering both sides of the same coin.
