I used this to laminate the tops of a wood organ keyboard. The wood was dried properly and sealed in parafin wax to keep it that way.I sliced it thin on the bandsaw then guled it to the key. After sanding the wood finished a beautiful dark brown almost black with tung oil. I am planing to turn my second block into a small bowl.[...]

It didn't feel like the locker room of a team that just finished the NBA season with the league's second-worst record. In fact, it didn't feel like the Wizards locker room at all.
There were smiles.
There was satisfaction.
There was little talk of individual achievement.
There was hope for the future.
It's destined to be lost in the glory of the Redskins drafting Robert Griffin III, the Nationals winning games at historic pace, the Capitals advancing to the second round of the playoffs, and even D.C. United's six game unbeaten streak.
But the Wizards, even with the second-worst record in the NBA, might just have something special, and that's before they add a top-five pick in the NBA Draft in June. And no, they didn't beat a full-strength Miami Heat in their regular season finale. But they did obliterate their second-teamers, 104-70, with their own less than full-strength squad, earning their sixth straight win.
"I thought this stretch down at the end of the year, even with a couple of losses that we had, was the best stretch that we played as a team together," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
He was right. The Wizards finished the season winning eight of their last 10 games. They went 11-14 after the trade deadline. They went 7-4 with Nene in the lineup. They made a pretty compelling argument that Wittman deserves to be considered to continue in his role as head coach.
They were at rock bottom three months ago.
"We were in disarray from the moment that I got here, from the moment I stepped off the plane and seen that we were getting blown out by Philly in the preseason," Wizards guard Mo Evans said. "It wasn't looking good. I'm happy to say that it's the total opposite, that we finished with momentum, that we finished with a strong character team on and off the court."
Evans had a team-high and season-high 18 points against the Heat, finishing off the NBA title favorites with a pair of second half dunks. He didn't even care, claiming afterward that he'd had a successful season because of what he was able to contribute in the locker room.
Nene was still stunned that he was getting so much credit for helping to transform the team, which Wittman said was no comparison to how bad it had been defensively before he arrived.
"I just play free here," he said. "What they say, 'I didn't know you were so good.' I been working the last four summer. I couldn't shoot in Denver. Here I have the green light to shoot it."
But it's difficult for the players who weren't in Washington before the trade to understand the value of addition by subtraction. JaVale McGee and Nick Young were moved while Rashard Lewis and Andray Blatche were shelved, and all of a sudden the Wizards resembled an NBA team again.
"I think it was the right decision," said guard John Wall when asked about the difference since the trade. "We had a lot of jokes and stuff going around the locker room, but the energy is more serious, everybody is being on time, taking things more serious, being professional about everything. We just interacting more as a team."
Wall finished the year with 12.4 assists in his last five games. He's the fastest player (134 games) to reach 2,200 points, 1,000 assists, 600 rebounds, 200 steals and 90 blocks. Now he's got the counterweight to his point guard presence in the low block, in Nene and Kevin Seraphin, the latter who proved his ability was no fluke by playing solidly for the last month. The difference between he and Blatche, Seraphin isn't getting a contract extension he hasn't earned before next season.
As a team, the Wizards aren't ready to make claims about their potential. But they realize how far they've come since the awful start to the season. After the first game of the year, rookie Chris Singleton was probably the angriest guy in the room. At season's end, the weight he carried that night appeared lifted.
"It definitely feels good," he said. "For us, you can see the growth of the Washington Wizards, over the past month, we worked our butts off on the court, and the rest is history."

iRadio A Long-Term Growth Catalyst
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield and his colleagues announced that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) will unveil a radio service, similar to Pandora (P). The radio streaming service, dubbed 'iRadio', will be routed through iTunes. Apple's new radio streaming service will increase the company's profitability by increasing sales of its mobile products in the long-term.
The music industry has shifted towards streaming music. Physical sales have gradually declined. In May 2012, Spotify hit 20 million monthly users. It is predicted that Spotify will reach 8 million paid users by May 2013.
iTunes is a hotspot for digital music. Major recording labels (EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group) have continued to profit from Apple's iTunes platform. I predict streaming is going to be the next big profit generator for Apple.
Apple Rules The Music Market
According to market research firm NPD Group, iTunes has a market share of 64% in digital music, and nearly 30% of all music sold (both digital and physical) originates from iTunes. When iRadio is launched next year, this number will increase as Apple will make it possible to purchase songs as they are being streamed. Users will click on a button (Apple already collects credit card information of iOS users).
Apple's price to sales ratio of 3.26 and price to book ratio of 4.31 suggest that it is performing well against its competitors. iRadio will enhance interest in Apple's products which are already popular entertainment devices. With a profit margin of 27% and an operating margin of 35%, Apple's profitability is very impressive. In spite of criticism over its maps application, Apple's iPhone 5 sales have surged in China and elsewhere. Apple has a return on assets of 23.61%, which again proves that the company is managed effectively.
iRadio will enable people to purchase music right from their iOS device or iTunes when they stream music. This essentially means people will no longer have to use Pandora, Spotify or even Last.fm and juggle with multiple subscriptions. Last.fm has the unique capability to suggest and recommend music based on what a person likes or has 'scrobbled' (a term which means, to have listened). Apple's iRadio will likely use its Genius feature to recommend and suggest new artists and genres just like Last.fm does. Genius already suggests and recommends people to purchase music based on what they have listened to on iTunes.
Apple is dominating the music industry. Bruce Greenwald, a distinguished investor and professor noted in an interview that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is trading on vapors and has lost a lot of music business after physical sales have declined drastically. Amazon's music business depends heavily on physical CDs and DVDs, which are seeing decreased demand. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) launched Xbox Music in October 2012. The service allows Windows 8 PC and tablet users to stream music for free, while Xbox owners can stream music ad free for $9.99 per month. Another company that has considered trying music as an approach to generate revenue is Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ). The company launched its Connected Music service after collaborating with Universal Music. The deal allows HP laptop and PC users to stream music recorded by artists under Universal Music and win exclusive tickets to concerts.
Apple's iRadio will be an added enhancement to the company's music portfolio and will help drive mobile device sales. The iPhone, iPod, and iPad are all deeply embedded in the entertainment business thanks to iTunes, and iRadio. In the long-term, Apple will establish itself as the most important technology company in the field of entertainment.

A middling executive at Wall Street's most powerful firm turned the global business press on its ear by leaving Goldman Sachs with a flourish, publishing an op-ed in the New York Times, calling the culture of the bank "toxic."
After the piece hit, Goldman Sachs went into damage control and lost $2 billion in market share. But the power of Smith's departure isn't that someone from the inner echelon of a secretive institution accuses the firm of (shock!) greed.
The real genius of the Goldman Sachs kiss-off is that Smith mined a deep vein hidden in the psyche of every employed person: The "take this job and shove it" fantasy.
People have a vague sense of outrage toward Wall Street after the credit crisis and taxpayer-funded bailout, but frankly most don't understand the banking industry, nor how financial instruments like derivatives trading brought the global economy to a screeching halt.
Yet everyone has harbored, at some point in their career, the fantasy to throw down their work, stand on their desk and make a dramatic departure from their job. Who hasn't wanted a "Jerry Maguire" moment? (Even Darth Vader is getting into the act, explaining in a "Daily Mash" op-ed: "Why I am leaving the Empire.")
There are others who blazed the way for Smith – like Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant. Frustrated by a passenger, Slater took to the loudspeaker to announce his 2010 resignation. Then he grabbed a beer, deployed the evacuation chute, and slid away - out of a job and into posterity (and Larry King Live).
Or the Toronto Whole Foods employee who group mailed a scathing resignation letter to every employee in the company, likening the grocery chain to "a faux hippy Wal-Mart." Even this week, an ex-Google employee fired off a scathing blast on a Microsoft blog about why he left Google, as CNNMoney reports.
Will Greg Smith's allegations that the bank puts profits ahead of clients do permanent harm to Goldman Sach's reputation? Or course not. The company's share value, after taking a more than 3% hit Wednesday, was back up 2% the next day. Why?
"Goldman has put itself before its clients its entire existence," William Cohan – author of "Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World" – told CNN. "Its clients understand that – I don't think it's any secret.
"But you're dealing with, frankly, a cartel on Wall Street where there are very few options for clients nowadays," Cohan said. "It's gotten even worse since the credit crisis when you lost Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch isn't what it used to be."
So Goldman Sachs will continue apace, because – well, there are few other choices. But guys like Greg Smith are one-in-a-million, the few brave (or dumb? or rich?) enough to make the dramatic departure fantasy a reality.
So all hail Mr. Smith – the "average Joe" of the 1%. We smile and fist-pump in salute.And then we go back to work

(1) on application by an owner or operator for the use of a non-coastwise qualified launch barge for transportation of a platform jacket under this section (which application shall include all relevant information, including engineering details and timing requirements), the Secretary promptly publishes a notice in the Federal Register—

ATTENTION MUSICIANS: Lauren and I are getting close to releasing a new short film, but it's missing one thing - original music. Sure, we could argue fair-use and sample a few popular tunes, but we got to thinking… let's extend our original collaboration with talented artists we love, or maybe don't even know yet through THE INTERNET.
We'd like to incorporate four original, royalty-free, preferably instrumental songs into our six-minute short documentary about… well, you'll have to email us for that info.
If you're a musician, and are intrigued by the idea of collaborating and helping us score our film, we're offering the opportunity and credit. The cut is ready to go - just needs a score, so if you're into the idea send me an email with links to your work, and we'll go from there.
You can also reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please re-blog!

Two former Columbia police officers have been arrested for conspiracy to transfer controlled substances.
"Drug dealing is a scourge to our communities and families," Attorney General Jim Hood said. "It is especially disturbing when law enforcement officers are charged with violating the very laws they are sworn to uphold."
Michael Steven Bullock, 35, of Hattiesburg, and Herbert Cocroft, 45, of Sumrall, were arrested Monday at their respective homes after indictment by the Marion County Grand Jury. Bullock was indicted on two counts of conspiracy to transfer controlled substances, and Cocroft was indicted on one count.
According to Attorney General Hood, the charges stem from actions that took place while Bullock and Cocroft were on duty as Columbia police officers.
The matter was investigated as a joint operation by Attorney General investigators with the Public Integrity Division and agents of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations.

The nose on your face is just the tip of an iceberg. The important functions--breathing and smelling--actually happen mostly inside your head, in your nasal cavity. The air inhaled through your nostrils travels to this cavity on its way to the lungs.
The nasal cavity cleans and conditions the air. Pollutants, viruses and bacteria are trapped in mucus, which then travels to the stomach, where stomach acid neutralizes the germs.
Three structures on the sides of the cavity, called the turbinates, humidify the air. By the time air reaches the lungs, it's almost completely saturated with water vapor.
The water vapor is essential for proper function of the lungs. It's also crucial that air reaching the lungs be neither too cold nor too hot. In winter, the membranes in the nasal cavity raise the temperature of the air you breathe so your lungs never feel the bitter cold.
While scientists understand the nose and breathing, its ability to smell remains somewhat mysterious.
At the rear of the nasal cavity, behind and just above the bridge of the nose, is the olfactory epithelium--the "smelling skin" made of cells that react to chemicals.
When a molecule of a substance hits one of these receptor cells, a nerve impulse is sent to the brain. The impulse--not the smell--travels through the brain for decoding, crossing the area concerned with memory, emotion and motivated behavior. That's why the smell of popcorn may also trigger memories of a favorite movie.
As long as your nose is working, the best advice is to leave well enough alone. But if you have a lot of nosebleeds and allergies or if you suddenly can't smell, you should consult a doctor.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
A couple of weeks ago I visited ferri it looks like a pretty decent school a couple of kids took us fifth graders around the school I'm excited to start
When it comes to special needs students and special education students, this school lacks it. When a parent reaches out for help, all they do is, not get involved.
I was a former student at Ferri. It was horrible. There were a few nice teachers, but none that would go out of their way to help students who were struggling. I was bullied everyday there. There were constantly bomb threats and kids who wanted to kill themselves because of the bullying that is allowed. When a student tells on a person who had bullied him/her, the bullying just gets worse and they suspend you for everything. I got suspended for playing a game with a nickle at lunch, principal said someone could have slipped on the nickle and got hurt ;/ I had spend months of my life in focus (a cubical where cant talk in basement) and had teachers scream at me even swear at me. I was not even a bad kid, i just had problems completing my work and was stressed to the max about who was going to hit me or pull my hair and push me down. Also my friend could not read, they kept him back 3x and ended up passing him because he was getting too old. He found out in HS he had a learning disabilities and had dyslexia. Unless u want ur kid giving up on school n getting pregnant in HS and dropping out (check the dropout rates in Johnston) then don't send them to Johnston Schools!
This school, is just awful. To start, lunch is ridiculous. The students do not even get the choice to sit where they want. Assigned lunch seats? What exactly is the point of that? The time given at lunch is unacceptable. By the time you get out of line, you have to sit down and literally shove food down your throat just to finish in time. The rules at this school are flat out ridiculous. During spirit week last year, we couldn't even wear face paint, or costumes. The building itself is disgusting. The desks are vandalized, and the floors look like they are cleaned once a year. There were some extra classes where we just sat in a room the whole level and did absolutely nothing. There are few teachers there who do their job right. The principle clearly has no clue what he is doing. What a mess that place is.
I am 13 year old girl. I attend N.A. Ferri Middle School. I am in the 8th grade and I really like the school. I think that Mr. Morrell is doing a good job with the school. I wish that I could stay there, but I'm off to the High School!
i love this school for my daughter when i send her i have no worry in the world i went there and this school is such a great school its still standing where it was when i left
I am a former student of Ferri Middle school and I can honestly say that this school surpasses the quality of education I received at Johnston High School. There are many caring teachers at Ferri and I believe the school offers a nice selection of classes and after school activities. Many of the reviews featured on this website seem to be students or parents who do not understand the importance of structured learning environments. Complaints about school policies involving clothing or fighting are superficial. I was never in any fights nor did I wear any clothing that would have been restricted because I was no older than 14 while attending Ferri and my parents wouldn't have found it appropriate for me to dress like a street walker or mouth off to any of my fellow students. A good experience at any educational facility starts at home with manners and morals.
Ferri Middle School has come a long way. The principal, Dr. Fargnli has done a wonderful job. The teachers are fabulous.
I have found the principal and teachers at Ferri to be very cooperative and devoted to providing every student with a great educational opportunity. The other negative reviews sound like disgruntled students that do not like to follow rules! They better learn the ways of society if they want to be successful in life. I am happy that my children attend Ferri and I am very proud that they are honor students and love their school.
*A 'well proforming school' The only reason the students are scoring well is because they are all held back and know all of the answers to the Standard Ised Testing. Every child starts out working to the best of their ability, but slowly fails and is discusted in education..They fail and quit.
Do not send your kids here. They will loose interest in thier education and fail in life. Teachers will not help them, Councelers will not fix them, principals will put them down and suspend them for nothing..This is from my heart.But I didnt because I knew one day I would be out. I am now currently in with the providence school district. Doing so much better now. I wanna thank Mrs.Burr the art teacher, Ms.Coyne for teaching me to type, MR.Leanard for tryna keep me from making bad choices, and ......thats it. Notice none of these teachers are real academical classes. Oh and I also lunch for being there everyday!
Although I am not a parent, I am a student at Ferri. I can say for the most part I am not pleased with the way the school is run. Kids get suspended for-god forbid- defending themselves when someone starts a fight with them. Kids get picked on sometimes and when they finally take a stand they get disciplined. The whole 'lanyard/id' program is a COMPLETE failure, not to mention it takes a chunk out of the budget. Kids get sent to the 'focus room' where we must stay in a cubicle for,basically,6 hours. Most students at school know this and quite a few have even said something about it before, but yet nothing is done. Administrators, teacher-aids, etc. etc. etc. tell us how to wear our clothes (outside of dress code), tell us not do something when we are not breaking rules. However, the teachers get very involved in students'work,andsupportthemalltheway.
I have to say that I have only good things to report about this school. My son is now a senior at Ferri. I had my doubts about sending him to the middle school and even more about the high school. But I have to say since my son has been at this school I have had good contact with all the teaching and guidance staff members in every grade. I have alway made my presence known at the school. I make appointments all the time to discuss my son's academic performances and not one teacher has turned me down for a meeting. They schedule me at my convenience. As far as the academic curriculum I feel my son is being challenged in each class. He has sufficient homework and his teacher's this year really do seem to be on the ball as far as teaching the state mandates for their grade. The only complaint I would have to make about the school is the amount of time alotted for lunch. Twenty minutes is simply not enough time to eat, my son often skips lunch because he is rushed and quite often comes home starving.
I think ferri middle school is too strict. The kids aren't allowed to do anything. They can't wear certin clothes for gang relation which i think is ridiculous. Maybe if they trusted there kids more they could let them wear what they want. They have 18min lunches and because so many kids stayed back this means that the lines are longer which means a lot of kids are not getting their lunches. I went and visted the school not too long ago and I noticed how much they need to update it. I think they need to spend more money on the inside of the school insted of paying for the teachers' medical. The school district gets a lot of money and most of it goes to the teachers. I looked in some rooms and the desks are vandalized. The walls are very stingy and need to be washed. Thank you.
I don't believe that the Ferri Middle School promotes success for their students. Rather, the educators just let the students get by because it is easier. I also don't believe that the guidance council system and leadership at the school is in full coordination with the parents of these bright young students. They continuously cancel meeting times and often do not return phone calls for weeks. I find that this is unexceptable, especially when they promise a student that they will help them to succeed. This school has failed our family in many ways and we do not intend on sending any other family memebers to this school in the future.
I am a student at Ferri and i would like to say Dr. Fargnoli has turned the school right around. I am going into the seventh grade and my first year in the Johnston school system was made great by the teachers, staff, and all the after school activities. If you have a child attending middle school and are moving to Johnston Ferri is a great school and a fun environment. There are fun, educational field trips and always things such as dances and game nites at the school decided on by student council and the students. There is a cop at the school so if there are any fights he handles them and it provides extra safety. I am a real student at this school who is telling you the real inside scoop.

I Made This: Aurora Sylvia and Her All Girl TeamDate added: 31-08-2013
Furniture making is a man's world, baby…….Unless your Aurora Sylvia and her all girls team.
Aurora Sylvia (far left, above) and her all girl team break the stereotype that only men are woodworkers. Her team consists of Hilda Berrum (second from left), Angela Cruz (third from left), and Isabel Abrego (far right). When asked to describe the women on her team, Aurora said, "They are all very nice, wonderful people." She went on to describe each of the craftswomen individually.
Hilda is very serious but intelligent and a good worker, Isabel is very good at walking furniture – fitting drawers, and inserting parts, and Angela is good on machines.
Aurora has been working at Hardwood Artisans for eight years now and met her husband here. She is known around Hardwood Artisans for her motherly disposition, as well as her precision on machines.
In the past Aurora brought in lunches for workers, and to this day still has a passion for cooking. She says that her favorite thing to make is tamales.
Aurora is the mother of three, having raised her children for many years on her own, Aurora says that it can be difficult balancing raising children and having a full time job, especially when her kids were younger.
Many employees at Hardwood Artisans describe Aurora as a sweet, serious, and hard worker. When asked what her hobbies are, she blurted out with a smile "I don't have time for hobbies!".
Aurora, hopes to learn how to make more pieces and continue learning different skills. It is obvious that Aurora and her all girl team are an asset to Hardwood Artisans and will continue to break the stereotype that only men make good woodworkers.
I Made This: Sergio ZepedaDate added: 23-08-2013
"I wish I had the title of master craftsman," says Sergio Zepeda, Hardwood Artisans' craftsman. He desires that moniker. After 10 years of being a professional furniture maker, Sergio says he is still pursuing that goal. Think about that for a minute.
Sergio, like most of our cabinetmakers, is a perfectionist. He works to create the perfect piece, but in woodworking, there is always something less than perfect. Wood is organic, natural, and unpredictable. He is pictured next to our popular Simply Beautiful Secretary, a piece that requires numerous skill sets to craft.
Along the lines of his perfection, when asked what his hobbies are, Sergio says he likes to go to the gym, but then adds that his goal is to get to 10% body fat, weigh so-and-so amount, and be able to lift such-and-such amount of weight. He likes to work in specifics.
Conversely, he loves to cook, which was evident at our recent Lemonade Social where he was one of our chefs (right before he assembled a cabinet for demonstration!). He also has recently picked up fishing as a hobby. He does these things to balance the perfectionist inside.
Sergio is the father of two boys, 6 and 9, and has been married since 2005. His wife, Olga, lived in California previously. They met when Sergio went out to California to see family. After that, Olga received the first email Sergio ever sent, which he signed off as "your future husband". Many more emails later, he convinced her to come to Virginia. They were married 8 days later. Now this is a man who knows what he wants.
More contradictions in his world: Sergio has his "famous" sleeveless shirts he wears pretty much every day, which he has made custom for himself; His house looks like a self proclaimed miniature Hardwood Artisans showroom, but he does not show it off; He gets very intimidated when starting a custom order, but he loves the challenge, and he always works through the problems, questions, and concerns; He says that he learns from everyone, even the "new guys".
A great craftsman once said that 'the measure of a craftsman was not by how many mistakes he makes, but by how well he hides them'. If we can get past the idea that anything on earth is truly perfect, I think we can honor Sergio with the title of Master Craftsman.
I Made This: Greg SmithDate added: 15-08-2013
Hardwood Artisans craftsman, Greg Smith, has been with Hardwood Artisans off and on again for about 15 years. The 43 year old craftsman grew up in the Alexandria, VA area, and attended T.C. Williams High School.
Greg works on various dining tables, chairs, and custom projects that require the occasional "thinking outside of the box". Greg says that his favorite piece to make is the Shinto Stool, because he likes the "obstacles" the piece presents. Greg began working for Hardwood Artisans in 1993 because his uncle worked here and thought it would be good for Greg to learn a craft.
Greg spends his spare time doing oil paintings and playing video games. His goal is to merge oil paintings with woodworking, replacing art glass panes with oil paintings. At work, he is a little, shall we say, sloppy with the work areas, but at home he is what several friends describe as a "neat freak". These contradictions in life are seemingly typical for Greg. Ultimately, his goals surround a more metaphysical ideology, of serenity.
Greg has mastered mortise and tenon work, as evident in the chairs pictured. The split back splat was his design. He has several unique pieces that he has designed and crafted for himself and family members. We have several photos of his work throughout the organization. We featured Greg Smith here because we consider him a unique asset to Hardwood Artisans. Feel free to interpret that any way you like. As we like to say around here, if you are looking for normal, go someplace else.
RetirementDate added: 12-08-2013
Greg Gloor
Greg Gloor retires this month after 37 years of creating Hardwood Artisans. I am sure it is a difficult thing to let go of. On the other hand, he has probably seen enough, and is ready to move on to something different. He is already enrolled in college classes!
I consider Greg the "Steve Jobs" of Hardwood Artisans. Brilliant, visionary, creative, difficult, compassionate, unrelenting, patient, generous, motivating. I suspect anyone who can create something this great must have all these attributes, good and bad.
I can honestly say that Greg is one of the smartest individuals I have ever met. Many people would agree with me about that statement. But you don't build a business like Hardwood Artisans by just being smart. It takes so much more.
Greg has taught each of the current owners what he can about what it takes to run this company. Each of the six partners represents a part of Greg's skills and knowledge. Curt took the financial and technical. Ricardo took the general managing and some design. John Hilgren took the very technical. John Buss took the maintaining and improving. Kevin took the day to day grind of getting the production job done. And I took the designing and branding of the company. Essentially, it now takes six men to do what Greg did alone years ago.
It is difficult to express the gratitude the partners have toward this man. Personally, he has taught me a great deal, and more than just furniture design. We have been through some of the best and worst times. We have shared booms and busts, weddings, births, and deaths. We have loved and hated, sometimes at the same time. If you have ever had the privilege of working with Greg, you know what I mean. Perfection does not come about seamlessly. It is the hard road taken that results in the complete fulfillment of an idea, a design, a need. This is Greg's legacy.
Lois Gloor
Lois Gloor is the wife of Greg, the founder of Hardwood Artisans. She is retiring this month, along with Greg. Some of you know her, but many of our customers are unaware of her contributions to the organization over the past 37 years. Part of this reason is because many of her functions have been behind the scenes. Bookkeeping, technical support, and for the past 15 years or so, photographer and graphics work.
Lois has been responsible for all those pictures you see in the Washington Post Magazine and photo albums in the showrooms, as well as all the price sheets we hand out. So, you see, she has been out of site because she has often been on the "other end" of the camera.
Photography has become a passion for Lois, and she plans on doing more in retirement. She is selling the company her old camera, trading up to the newest and greatest model! Being more involved with the raising of grandchildren, travel, and just doing all those things that time would not allow due to a busy work schedule will fill the days.
Lois' contributions to the organization have been huge. We hope to continue the work she has so carefully crafted, and continue the legacy of excellence. If you have time this month, send her a note – firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ken Schell, The Redneck Dali Lama
Our dear friend and Rockville manager Ken Schell retired this past week after over 22 years of service. Like many of you, I will miss my weekly doling of his "pearls of Redneck wisdom", as I liked to call it.
A self-admitted K-mart kind of guy with an eye for style, scale, fashion, and aesthetics, Ken was quite the contradiction. I loved the way he could say what sounded like the stupidest thing, and then make you see why it made sense. I know many of our customers will miss his peculiar strategy for figuring out what their actual needs were.
It is tough to write nice things about Ken without coming across as sounding critical about him. On the contrary, I have a tremendous respect for Ken, and am grateful to have known him. Funny, light-hearted, and able to put the correct perspective on most situations, everyone at Hardwood Artisans will miss him dearly.

Removing Stains From FurnitureDate added: 06-08-2013
Black marks occur on wood furniture when water penetrates the woods finish. Our furniture is predominantly an oil finish, and so these instructions are specifically catered toward Danish Oil Finished pieces only. Lacquer finished furniture requires a different approach. In the case of any veneer topped tables, extreme caution should be used. Hardwood Artisans tables are all solid wood tops, and so these instructions are exclusive to our products. Viewers should use great care if following my instructions for other manufactured tables.
We have a customer who has owned this table for about 10 years. A planter was placed on the table, and, of course, it leaked. The metal from the planter reacted with the table top, resulting in a rather large black stain on the wood. The customer tried to sand out the stain, but these stains tend to run pretty deep into the wood, so sanding is generally not a very good option, at least not as the initial solution.
The best way to deal with a black stain is to use chemicals, Oxalic Acid, specifically. It is an organic compound that performs as bleach in the applications we use it in. Oxalic acid will neutralize and bleach the black stain from wood. It is used heavily in the marine industry where water and wood are in constant contact.
Once the stain is neutralized and bleached, we still have to repair the table. We have introduced a lot of water to the top, and the table will require a light (but thorough) sanding and a fresh application of Danish Oil. That said, this table will look brand new when we are done with it. The true value of solid wood furniture – repairable and renewable. Furniture for life.
Shirlington KitchenDate added: 25-07-2013
When we designed the build for the new showroom in Shirlington, about two and a half years ago, there was a plan to incorporate a kitchen into the floor plan. We put in plumbing rough-in's, and wired up 220v for a kitchen stove. Well, the best laid plans, right? We are now in the process of finishing up that kitchen project. We will be writing about the progress over the next few weeks.
We are using 3/4″ thick hardwood plywood with finished birch wood veneer on both sides. We chose ash wood with an espresso stain as the face frame, curly maple Tansu panels with a red aniline dye stain, and left the birch plywood natural inside the cases.
I have spent about 10 days figuring out what cases were made, and what needs to be made to complete the job. Today is Thursday. There are several things involving tongue-in-groove construction that need done. Below are a series of pictures of me cutting the joints. The machine in the pictures is called a shaper, which is basically an overgrown table router with a feed tank.
In a day or two, after the glue sets and the parts are trimmed to final sizes, I will have some pictures of kitchen cabinets in various states of completion. Stay tuned.

New Kid On The BlockDate added: 24-07-2013
Starting a new job anywhere is both exciting and somewhat intimidating especially for a recent college graduate; but Hardwood Artisans' fun, fast paced environment has helped make my move to the "real world" an easy transition.
My name is Erin Gallagher; I am 22 years old and I am the new marketing coordinator at Hardwood Artisans. I am originally from Richmond but have recently relocated to Fairfax. I don't know if I'll ever get used to the traffic up here.
I graduated this past May from Virginia Tech, GO HOKIES!, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both Communication and Spanish. I had gone into college thinking that I wanted to be a news anchor but after working various internships I realized I loved graphical design, photography, and video editing which led me into marketing. I'm just a video nerd that enjoys any creative project I can get my hands.
I am assuming the job of Lorelei Hillgren, who decided to go and get herself a college education of her own and become a cop (sorry, …..ahem….., Police Officer). She is also the daughter of one of the partners, so she has been associated with the organization literally since birth. Large shoes to fill. My first week was nothing less than high intensity and fast paced. I started working for the company one week before our biggest event of the year, the 7th annual Lemonade Social.
The first week consisted of meetings, online marketing, and ironing out details for the event. Though most of my week consisted of shadowing the current marketing coordinator and created social media graphics, I was able to view all of the details that went into preparing and executing the event. I was able to mainly observe the event and see what aspects of the event our customers responded best to, and what aspects of the event needed further development for the following year.
The entire week leading up to the Lemonade Social, Mark had shared, "We don't only sell furniture, we sell an experience." Curt, another partner here at Hardwood Artisans describes it as, "creating a memory". This ideology was solidified at the Lemonade Social when I saw how each of the sales people interacted with customers; this varied from shop tours and demonstrations to general conversation between employees and customers. Many employees have created relationships with customers that span over the years, and I witnessed their relationships during the Lemonade Social.
Through observing this event I have a much better understanding and a greater appreciation of how this organization functions and look forward to continually learning new things. Mark brought me on specifically to provide a new perspective to marketing. So, with that, over the next few months keep an eye out for a little different look from Hardwood Artisans. I might be the youngest but I'll show you I know my stuff, talk to you later….
Sofa Wall BedDate added: 09-07-2013
For about two years, my manager in Shirlington, Larry Northrop, has been trying to convince me that we need yet a fifth wall bed system. For about two years I resisted……okay, I finally gave in. Now, keep in mind that I didn't think his idea was a bad one. I resisted because I knew we were talking about 300 hours of design and engineering time. I wanted nothing to do with this project, already having several jobs in the organization. Instead, in his perfect tenaciousness, Larry found his next "victims".
Larry gained a lot of interest and enthusiasm within the organization and talked a lot about the idea with many customers. Between Larry, Greg (the founder), and Curt Smay (my partner), they worked on this project for about 5 months off and on. We premiered it at our Lemonade Social, where there seemed to be a lot of interest.
The idea is that you have a sofa (loveseat sized really), with your bed right behind. This arrangement literally doubles a rooms capacity, making it perfect for efficiency apartments. Take the wedges off, pull the bed down, and you are ready to go to bed. The display shelf (shown with a yellow flower in a vase full of water) will pivot in perfect parallel to the ground. Nothing needs removed from the shelf. When I look at it, I see an engineering headache that was solved. Imagine a wooden object that weighs 80 pounds and moves 7 feet out on a pivot into a room like a feather. Curt actually had to design (and have made) the metal arms that allow for this movement because they just don't exist. And yes, it took every bit of 300 hours to figure out.
The design is such that the bed lays over the seat of the sofa. The result is a bed height taller than any of our other wall beds. I have to admit that I like it, a lot. Curt and Greg did a great job executing Larry's vision.
Right now, we are busy cleaning up the cases and applying the finish. We will be showing this new bed in our Shirlington store within the next few weeks.
For more information about this wall bed, or any of our four other beds, call any of our stores.

The Baton Rouge BedDate added: 29-08-2012
Our customers are so often the exact inspiration needed for a new standard product. Not only are you creative but you are very good designers – no wonder our standard line keeps growing. This story starts when co-owner Mark Gatterdam met Aaron and Catherine in our showroom.
Aaron and Catherine have always had a fine appreciation for watching things unfold. Aaron told us, "We have always appreciated furniture and viewed it more as functional art as opposed to things-to-put-stuff-on."
Their house was built in the 1940's by Aaron's great grandfather for his Grandfather and Grandmother to live in. His ever so handy Grandfather also built houses for his three daughters as well as another one for himself. I'll let him tell the rest of the story:
"They are all located in Baton Rouges' Garden District Area adjacent to Louisiana State University. Upon my grandmother's passing Catherine and I decided to purchase the home from my dad and my aunt. We felt strongly about keeping the house in the family; four of the five houses are still owned by relatives. Our house is very small by today's standards, just under 1,000 SF.
Catherine and I purchased it in rough condition. We are on the tail end of completing a massive renovation. Because the house is so small everything that goes in must be considered very carefully. Too much of anything, or anything large and bulky, or the wrong color will weigh the rooms down and cause them to appear very crowded and cluttered. Catherine and I have considered furniture very carefully. We drew a lot of inspiration from pieces on display at the Festival of the Arts in Laguna Beach, California.
Catherine and I try to make the festival each year while visiting her grandparents on the west coast. We have been considering furniture to fill this house for over three years… we don't get in a hurry.
We visited galleries when traveling on vacation and business. I even considered building some of my own pieces (believe it or not I can hold my own in the shop.) What initially drew me to Hardwood Artisans was the use of solid hard woods and the oil finish. No one does this for production… are y'all crazy? Catherine and I chose standard pieces from the Hardwood Artisans portfolio.
We thought we would push you guys just a little bit with the idea of incorporating a more "unique" headboard. It wasn't until I saw the Motus Desk at the Culpeper shop that realized exactly what you guys are capable of. We were hoping that you all could understand our broad design ideas and then use your talents and ideas to create a design that matched us. That is exactly what you all did. To me that is infinitely more difficult and personal then simply taking a customer's design and building it according to spec. We certainly appreciate the human element and emotional labor that you and your design team have incorporated so far. We cannot wait to see the final product.
As far as names… We'll defiantly throw one in the hat for consideration… We'll need to sleep on it. I'll let you know our vote.
Here are a few pictures of the final bed!

He then spent two years as a sports and news reporter at KPLC NBC-7 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Ryan joined KTRE in July 2005 as Sports Anchor on the weekends and Sports Reporter during the week. He was promoted to Sports Director in July of 2007.

text: Making surprisingly good headway into the new game. As ever, I've found myself reluctant to say what it is, which is some kind of totally absurd secrecy behaviour I barely understand. So, anyway, it's a game interpretation of Epic Sax Guy, called Epic Sax Game. It started off as a super simple version, but I've ended up adding a bunch of different "levels" and I feel kind of excited about it just at the moment (pending the despair I will necessarily feel in a week's time or whatever). One thing that's happened, though, and happens with some frequency in my game making, is getting massively sidetracked by technology-related stuff that is ultimately a bit irrelevant to the game itself.

Confinement after Childbirth: OK or No Way?
USA Today reports that, according to traditional Chinese medicine, the month after giving birth is when new mothers are especially vulnerable to health problems, so they're not supposed to go outside, take a bath, brush their teeth or do anything else that could allow "bad wind" into their bodies.
The confinement period is also a source of big business in China. While we have doulas, the Chinese have confinement specialists. In fact, if you do not have relatives staying with you to help you follow the rules of confinement, known as cho yuet, you can stay in one of China's many postpartum hotels. But not everyone can afford this, so participating in confinement has become a status symbol.
Many Latin American countries practice La Cuarentena, or forty days of rest for the mother after her baby is born. During this period, diet and cleanliness guidelines are strictly adhered to, and rest is of the utmost importance.
Moms, what do would you do if you were forced to rest and recuperate for thirty days or more following delivery?
I would love this kind of treatment being a mother of 5 children who are all 3 to 4 years apart. Each of them I tried to stay home with them longer and longer with each one. First-son,12 3months, next-daughter,10 6weeks, next-daughter,7 6weeks, then-son,3 for 1year, now still pending I am choosing to stay home with my current 2month old. But I have never been able to stay indoors for 30dys w/o going out during any of these times…I WISH!
I'm due January 6th, and I am going to consider this. The biggest problem will be family. Everyone wants to see the new baby, and they don't want to wait. Family has even decided to fly in from out of state a few weeks after we are due just to see the new baby. How do you convince your family that despite their excitement, you and baby need a month to rest first?
I like this in theory. Sure, I would love to stay holed up in bed with just my newborn, having other people take care of me…and the house! But I have other kids and I'd miss them too much. It's hard enough leaving them for a couple of days to go to the hospital.
I was very surprised to read this article. With China's well known lack of respect for human life, particularly babies (mandatory abortions for more than one child), I was shocked to hear anyone refer to the Chinese as having "respect for mothers and children." On another note, no baths, brushing of teeth for a month? EWWWWW!
What planet are you on? The one child policy in China started in 1978, take a guess how old the culture and country is. While you're at it, find out how far back this tradition goes. Forced abortions were outlawed in 2002. And if you equate abortion or the death penalty with a lack of respect for human life, maybe you should start with your own state.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
Pale straw and a green hue at release. Delightful aromas of white peach, nectarines, melon and pineapple join subtle hints of savoury cashew and spice. Fresh flavors of stone fruit combine with a touch of tropical pineapple, cashews and an underlying creaminess from extended lees stirring to deliver a mouth-filling and enjoyable wine. The wine has a clean, elegant palate and long persistence.
Cellaring Notes: This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will reward careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2012.
"Fresh and vibrant, nicely packed with pear, pineapple and grapefruit flavors, sailing easily through the expressive, balanced finish. Drink now through 2013."

On 13 January 2014, during the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony, FIFA will reveal the FIFA/FIFPro World XI for 2013 as voted for by over 50,000 professional footballers.

The official 55-man shortlist for the FIFA/FIFPro World XI will be released in four separate phases.
Once the first shortlist (goalkeepers) is published you can begin predicting. Start selecting your World XI goalkeeper as soon as the list is released or simply wait until all the phases are complete before making your selection. The choice is yours!

Step 2: Add players to your World XI Team as the players are revealed OR wait until 9 December to view all 55 players at once. (There is no advantage to choosing your players as soon as they are announced or simply waiting until all 55-names are revealed.)

Step 4: On 13 January 2014, follow the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony live on FIFA.com and compare your World XI to the actual FIFA/FIFPro World XI. All entries which accurately predict the FIFA World XI for 2013 will be entered into our Grand Prize Draw!
The contest winner will be announced shortly after the official announcement of the FIFA World XI for 2013. Will we see new or familiar faces in the 2013 line-up? Play the FIFA/FIFPro World XI Predictor now!
In 2012, the FIFA/FIFPro World XI consisted of the following players: IKER CASILLAS, DANI ALVES, MARCELO, GERARD PIQUÉ, SERGIO RAMOS, ANDRÉS INIESTA, XABI ALONSO, XAVI HERNANDEZ, CRISTIANO RONALDO, RADAMEL FALCAO, LIONEL MESSI.

Isn't this a beautiful snowflake model? And it's quite easy to fold, too.
Paper: hexagon from a 19.5cm square of transparent paper (side length: 9.75cm)
Model: diameter of 9.75cm
I followed you to the end, but the last folds just have me confounded.
Can I use butter paper instead of a transparent paper?
If I am thinking of the right paper, then, yes, butter paper should work well for this model.
-- Sara
What about using butter paper for any other tessellation model? eg: hydrangea or clover folding?
Will that help to create an alternative for transpaernt paper?
You can always try. I'm not sure how easily butter paper breaks. For the snowflower you don't really have to reverse folds, but for tessellations you often do. If the paper breaks easily, then it's not as suitable for tessellations. If you want to test this, fold the paper back and forth a couple of times, making strong creases each time. If the paper breaks in that crease, then that might also happen when folding the tessellation.

Great Condo!
Blue Mountain Bliss was exactly as described and pictured when we arrived. It was very nicely decorated and very clean! One short block walk to the beach, which was blue and clear for us this week. The pool is great, as are the surrounding stores (we enjoyed the new spot for breakfast, their staff was super)! Betty and her husband were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We will definitely be back!!
The perfect spot to vacation!
Before we ever arrived, I knew things would run smoothly because the owners were so kind and made everything a breeze! The condo was amazing! It was beautiful AND functional. Everything was top quality and in perfect running order! Anything I needed, that I forgot at home, was already there. The property was beautiful and extremely well kept. The beach access and transportation to the beach were perfect! Everything was so easy and worry free! We will definately be back to stay! We loved it!!! 100% satisfied!!!
