You've hiked for 10 hours. It's hot, you're dripping with sweat, and you taste salt on your lips. It isn't fun any longer. Actually, it hasn't been for a while. Your backpack is grinding into the base of your neck, there are blisters on your feet, and your water is tepid and running low. It doesn't matter, though. There are five miles left, and no one's carrying you home.
Upon finally reaching the base of the mountain, you release a small whimper of relief. At a small creek, you wash off your boots and trade them for a (suddenly very light seeming) pair of runners. Limping your way to the truck, you barrel in with your friends. It's strange to simultaneously feel both so weary and alive. It was an exhausting day, but you saw breathtaking country, connected with great friends, and now have a fine reason to kick back.
After 45 minutes in transit, you roll up to a pub. A couple of pitchers are ordered, and that first sip of beer is mahtava (Finnish for magnificent, but somehow more so). The long wait for nourishment comes to an end as a cavalcade of plates heaping with burgers and fries arrive. You devour everything in sight, and are taken aback by how good that burger tasted… perhaps better than any before it.
Contrast is to thank for this. It expands the available spectrum of emotion and experience, adding fidelity to our lives. Sadly, it's under attack.
Our modern society provides easy, and persistent, access to delightful indulgences, but this is contradictory to how indulgence works. While you can hole up in a pub and eat a burger every day, it just won't taste as good as it did when you were really tired and hungry.
In order to feel anything, we have to seek out—and even create our own—contrast. Doing so isn't difficult, but it does require one to make certain choices. It's also anathema to a population that insists upon being comfortable at all times.
Want to gain contrast? Perhaps take a month off, from television. The first few days will be an immense drag; you won't know what to do with your evenings. Should you stick with it, you'll find yourself thinking about it less each day. By the end of your "telexile," you'll turn that machine on more consciously. Odds are, you'll mark the occasion with a really good program/film, a little popcorn, and a nice glass of wine. (A dramatically different experience from zoning out daily to a stream of reality TV.)
Better than that, though, you might find that the things you do during your down-time also become enjoyable. Maybe you'll now have the time to catch up on some reading, fix that broken kitchen faucet, get a little extra sleep, or treat the Kama Sutra like an instruction manual for the month's evening pursuits.
In order to fully experience things, you need contrast.
March 22nd, at 2012 12:57 pmI love reading your posts. They somehow validate all the crazy ideas floating around in my head just by knowing there's people out there that think the same way. Let me know if you ever need a hand writing content ; )
March 22nd, at 2012 1:31 pmI love this sentiment Eric, your'e so right, healthy self restraint only makes the pleasureable thing that much more enjoyable. It comes from self control and practiced abstinence from those little indulgences we take for granted daily. Great post!
March 22nd, at 2012 4:21 pmHi Eric,
This is so true! We need contrast to enjoy things, yet we rail against it!
I experience this is a small way with my favorite coffee. It's a healthy coffee I order in. Every once in a while I let it run out so that I have to wait for the next delivery. That first cup, and just knowing my pantry is full again makes me appreciate it all the more!
I enjoyed this very much!
March 22nd, at 2012 5:55 pmI have said for sometime that one cannot experience joy without having experienced sadness. Without one to compare the other to there is no scale. Life without tension, without contrast, just isn't as much fun.
March 22nd, at 2012 7:01 pmIt is so true! I love your description of the hike, it is right on point. Recently I did this with television, and in addition to the effect you mentioned it had another effect: I am now less tolerant of bad or monotonous programming. I've done this before, so I know that when I am consistently watching television I will sit there and watch anything, and I unfortunately know that I am capable of doing that all day. However, after going at least a few weeks without it, all of a sudden it's intolerable to watch anything but that which really piques my interest, and feels taxing to sit there for more than an hour or so.
March 23rd, at 2012 7:00 amSo true! Ying and Yang ... you need both!
March 23rd, at 2012 6:41 pmThoroughly enjoying every post. As Gabe mentioned it's refreshing to see my values expressed by someone else so eloquently. A solid reminder that I'm doing just fine. Cheers.
April 3rd, at 2012 9:01 amWise, compelling insights. Thank you. Oh, and I like your vivid yet simplistic graphics. Is there a name yet for this style of drawing?
September 25th, at 2012 10:41 amThis backpacking example is awesome and totally accurate. I did a lot of backpacking growing up and have lived this example. Nothing puts life into perspective like backpacking.
Been reading this site on and off for 3 days. Great blog.

According to Russh, Eniko Is Everything
Ever wonder what it feels like to be an icon? Or have you ever wondered what it's like to be considered "everything?" Well, Russh thinks Eniko Mihalik is everything, which is why they have dedicated both the cover and a spread in their magazine to Ms. Mihalik. Conveniently, the editorial is titled Eniko Is Everything, and by golly she proves herself to be! Mihalik's unique yet gorgeous look is multifaceted, making it that much easier on the editorial's Fashion Editor, Stevie Dance to style her into a variety of outfits. The looks range from prim, to a pretty girly girl in a feminine dress and matching platform boots, to a punk rocker with metallic lips and a heavily studded leather jacket. It's obvious that Mihalik really can be everything in photos!
I feel that Mihalik is everything also in terms of age. She can look like a grown, sophisticated woman but she can also look like a young, playful girl. This versatility can also be seen in the editorial's photographer, Benny Horne as well. Almost every type of photograph can be seen in this shoot—color, black and white, high fashion, indie, and there is even a gorgeous artistically illustrated photo. Like I said before, it's quite the editorial and it's definitely worth checking out. View the editorial on MyFDB!

Fidgeting Francine-A short trip into the twisted mind of Mrs. Rodgers.
|Bus Stop
Chapter 3
Fidgeting Francine
As the bus pulled away from the curb, the gentle hum of its engine began to lull the plump woman into a near half-sleep state. Francine, or Mrs. Rodgers, as her fellow bus stop riders knew her, gazed with a blank stare into the greasy, creepy face of Angelo, who was sitting across the aisle from her. She wasn't seeing him because she was locked deep in some memory - a memory she wouldn't have chosen to remember, but her free will seemed to belong to someone else. it was her mother's will, and she heard her voice plain as day as if she were sitting right there on that seat next to Angelo.
"Fran - Cine!" her mother's voiced screamed in its shrill, high-pitched tone, accentuating the "c" in her name. "Fran - Cine, get down here this instant!"
Francine was thrust back in her childhood home on Baker Street - 241 Baker - Home Sweet Home. As this memory unfolded, she knew it was anything but sweet. Getting up and leaving her small, sparse bedroom, she proceeded to the top of the stairs. Her head hung down with her pudgy chin resting on her ample chest.
"Fran - Cine! You answer me, girl!" her mother called up the narrow stairwell. "Or I'll kick your butt into next Tuesday!"
"Y-y-yes, M-m-mother?" Francine asked, remaining at the top of the stairs.
"What is this?" her mother demanded, holding her thin arm outstretched toward Francine. A pretty, red and empty heart-shaped box of chocolates sat in the palm of her scrawny hand. "Stop that stuttering, and get your ass down here! I want an explanation, and I want it now!"
As Francine's head drooped further down, she did, indeed, resemble an English Bulldog with her three folds of fat obscuring any hint of a chin or neck. Her eyes, which were blue and very large, had a pronounced bulge to them, making them appear to be popping out of her round face.
Francine plodded down the stairs as if she were approaching a guillotine, rather than her mother. Though her mother was a good three inches shorter than thirteen-year-old Francine, and she outweighed her mother by almost one-hundred pounds, the girl was terrified of her.
"Did you, or did you not, eat my chocolates that Mr. Snipe gave to me yesterday?" her mother asked.
"I-I didn't m-m-mean t-t-to eat them all!" The frightened girl burst out sobbing. "I-I-I'm s-s-sorry!"
"To pay for your wickedness, you'll spend the rest of the week in your room, after school when your chores are done, and you will wash every window in this house on Saturday. That will teach you to keep your fat fingers out of things that don't belong to you, Missy. Just look at you! Why, you're like one of Mr.Grishom's over-stuffed pigs with your big-old-gut hanging out the front of your dress. Haven't you any self-respect! Do you understand me? You're nothing but a glutinous sinner!" Stepping in close to Francine, she back-handed the girl across her mouth. Francine's head careened to the left, then to the right as her mother applied another stinging smack.
Mrs. Rodgers gasped. Her eyes flew open, and her hand flew up to her lips to feel the blood she knew would be trickling down her face, but her mouth was dry, and, she found herself staring into the sinister eyes of Angelo, who looked as though he were about to jump out of his own skin. She snapped her head to face forward, and then, she saw an even more frightening scene. Recognition filtered into her muddled brain. She was not back on Baker Street. Her mother was not here - she'd been dead, in fact, for close to ten years. She wasn't scared, Fidgeting Francine, but Mrs. Rodgers, and she was riding on a bus, a bus that, she now realized, was being hijacked! "Oh, m-m-my God," she whispered to herself. She began to fidget with the strap of her imitation Gucci hand bag, rubbing the worn leather from one brass loop to the other, her large eyes seeming to bulge even further out.
"Remain calm," the foreign man at the front of the bus proclaimed. A hint of a smile formed at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes said, Try and cross me, and you're dead.
Now, the two large diet cokes she had guzzled with her Jimmy Dean pork sausage, three scrambled eggs and four slices of toast, down at the corner greasy-spoon truck-stop, began to weigh on her stomach. She felt woozy. Opening her purse, she took out her amber-colored bottle of Prozac, and popped not the prescribed one pill, but two, into her mouth. "This is all your fault, m ... mother," she hissed under her breath. All of it: being fat, people's stares and snickering - even that foreigner. Yes, it was all her fault! Francine began to chant in her head, Her fault! Her fault! Then aloud, "Her fault! HER FAULT!" she said, ignoring the other passengers' gawking glances.
Mrs Rodgers, lost in her own version of reality, failed to hear the cries of her fellow bus riders as the petite Danielle stood up in the middle of the bus, rocked on her feet and then crumpled to the dirty floor, striking her head on the metal frame of the closest seat.

The stunning collection includes company logos and strong links to consumerism: subtle hints towards a concept beyond the striking images of the butterflies themselves.
By taking a fragile and delicate household creature like the butterfly, and imposing a strong logo or name, Garzoni's work reimagines the powerful potential of consumerism and advertising through a thoughtful collection of designs.

I'm not understanding this … does the artist use a printer to print directly on a real butterfly's wings? (Therefor making the butterfly the canvas.) Or is this printed on paper using the image of a butterfly?

Router table top and fence
Next week I plan on making a router lift. Not sure how that will go. I have all the parts and can start this weekend!
26 comments:
Why do a lift, when the whole insert comes up with the router attached? I find it easier to adjust the router as normal rather than deal with a lift.ReplyDelete
You are probably right. Mostly, my Porter Cable router doesn't handle fine depth adjustments very well. Plus the lift looks like a challenge.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 16, 2012 at 10:21 PM
Life before lift ): life after lift(:ReplyDelete
Great site! "Wood" you consider a link swap? My site is WWW.CarvingByHand.blogspot.com, it is parked on WWW.CarvingByHand.com, but it has not taken hold yet. Please let me know if you wish to swap links!ReplyDelete
I really like the design of you're table Its put together real well. My table is a lot like you'rs in design. I think you will prefer changing bits and making small adjustments above the table. Its a lot less hassel . The only problem you,ll run into is loosing you're set up every time you need to lift the router out...........Dr.RockReplyDelete
Dr.Rock, the solution to that is simple. Get a second router for freehand work.ReplyDeleteReplies
How does a second router adjust the one in your table?Delete
nice table you'll like have the extra storage drawers for storage made mine a while back and the draws are about full.a good fence too i don't use a miter much but the t- tracks come in handy for feather boards .your getting good at these videos always learn a bit thanks SteveReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 17, 2012 at 7:25 PM
Very nice job on your router table and fence system.
You did a very good job on the design, as well as the asthetic details on the drawers and front of your table.
Overall a very well thought out design and build.
very nice table steve I love your table so much I would love to build it myself do you happen to have a pdf or blueprint that I can follow along with so I can build it myself including all the detailsReplyDelete
Wonderful work Steve and always interesting to see how you do the various jobs. If I may make an observation, the edge of that melamine top and its chipwood base would get pretty dinged up in my shop. I'd line the edge with hardwood trim, aesthetically more pleasing too. Just sayin'.ReplyDelete
Gareth: yeah, I'm thinking about adding some sort of edging. My main concern was adding it with the miter track. I may just add some edging and notch out that part.ReplyDelete
Love the router table setup , nice job ! I do have one though on down draft dust collection , some cuts will not allow the top port to collect the dust and although the chips will fall the fine dust will float to your lungsReplyDelete
Have you considered rounding the edges of your table? I bruised myself pretty good on the edge of my drill press table. After that I rounded the corners of the table and made sure I rounded the corners of my router table when I made it. Maybe you can incorporate it into the edging you're thinking about adding.ReplyDelete
Two things:
1:It seems when you loosen those (ingenious) clamps that they will turn and you'll have to turn them back straight each time you tighten them.... maybe a block on each side of both clamps (on the underside of the fence) that loosely holds them straight?
2:To get super accurate holes with a drill press, get a set of brad point bits and a punch. Just center punch and the brad point will guide itself exactly there.
Looks beautiful! Maaaaaajor jealousy happening on this end! :O
- AnonymousMarch 27, 2012 at 4:11 PM
WITH THE ADDITION OF JUST 2 HOLES,TAKE 1/2 HALF THE DISTANCE OF THE SHORT SIDE FROM THE CENTER OF FENCE ADD THE SAME DISTANCE YOU ADDED TO THE LONG SIDE TO DRILL FOR YOUR BOLTS TO START WITH AND YOU WILL HAVE A DOUBLE DUTY FENCE TO USE ON THE X OR Y AXIS. JUST A THOUGHT IN CASE YOU NEED MORE ROOM TO ROUTER A DADO OR WHAT EVER. LOOOOOKS SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD STEVE!!!!!ReplyDelete
I just installed my old router plate in my new table saw's extension wing using the Kreg levelers. I'm really glad you talked about them in your video--I had not heard of them before that. I previously had the plate in a rabbet cut, and it's like night and day having the fine tuned plate perfectly level with the rest of the table.ReplyDelete
I ended up cutting the aluminum plate to the same size as most manufactured plates so the hole will accept something like the Kreg plate you used if I get tired of my aluminum slab.
New plate:
Old plate:
- AnonymousMay 31, 2012 at 1:24 PM
Steve, nice table. I have the same insert in my table and the levelers did come with the screws. I also used the kreg idea of the levelers to make levelers for the whole table and have 12 levelers for it. They came in very handy when mounting the table. My fence has a channel that slides over a dust collection hole in the table behind the insert so that I have dust collection at both the fence and under the table. This way I have some air flowing over or past the router all the time to help in keeping it cooler. And I also made the "ShopNotes" lift with some modifications for additional adjustments. If you would like to take a look at these please go to http://lumberjocks.com/projects/66727#comment-1273939 .ReplyDelete
Thanks for the cool videos, Steve in Oregon
Do you offer a blueprint of your router table plans?ReplyDelete
Steve, do you happen to have a SketchUp or pdf plan for the router table and fence?ReplyDelete
I'd love to make one for myself.
Love all your videos Steve!ReplyDelete
But instead of making those clamping blocks for your fence, I would have used the same concept you did on your drill press table fence with kind of T-slots (large grooves in the plywood substrate, narrow grooves in the melamine).
The only inconvenient with this would be that you need to adjust the fence to be parallel with the miter fence slot when you need to use the miter fence...
Here is a question I can't seem to find an answer for. All of my tools are on casters as once all tools are put into the garage there is no room to move around them so I have to wheel them out to use them. I am building my 3rd gen table saw now and want to incorporate a router table onto it. Kind of like the wing attachments for a table saw. Is there any reason I can't/shouldn't put the router to the left side of the blade? I always see them on the right and never on the left. Am I crazy for even thinking of putting it to the left?ReplyDelete

Steve, great job on this and very helpful. Same question, trying to decide how tall to make my fence, what is the height of yours? Thanks!ReplyDelete

Allo Steve! Love the videos. I have been watching your channel for about four years now ever since building your original saw horses. Things have progressed since then and i am now looking at replacing my "hole in a board" router table. Question is are there any sketch up plans for your router FENCE? Cheers and thanks for the great videos and inspiration. -David MReplyDelete

Students Return from "Trip of a Lifetime" in Australia
Maybe it was the vibrant colors of the samples they collected along the Australian shoreline or walking past a giant python basking in the sun as it digested its latest meal. Maybe it was wading to the shore of the remote island research station located on the Great Barrier Reef, snorkeling among sea turtles and giant clam gardens, or witnessing a rare view above a rainforest's canopy.
Maybe it was these things and more that made the students realize: This was not your typical research experience.
The group of 10 Emmanuel students traveled Down Under for three weeks in June and July as part of the inaugural "Microbiology on the Great Barrier Reef" travel course led by Professor of Biochemistry Paul March. The course represented the first within the sciences with a travel component and operated in partnership with James Cook University, which provided Dr. March and his students with residence, classroom and laboratory space during their stay.
Students conducted research in the field along the Great Barrier Reef, surveying the marine environment and examining the different bacteria that exist along the coastline, in the ocean, at coral reefs and more. During the spring semester, Dr. March taught basic marine biology techniques for the introductory microbiology course, enabling the group to make the most of its time in the field.
"In class we mimicked conditions we thought we could expect to see in Australia, setting up controls for factors like less sunlight since it's their winter there," said Dylan Hillsburg '13. "Then while there, we took samples from the environment and brought it into the lab, which was a whole new dynamic for me. It made it seem more real."
In addition to their field research at Yule Point, the group spent three nights on Orpheus Island, located within the Palm Island Group on the Great Barrier Reef, where James Cook University maintains a research station and educational facility. The island offered an "outward-bound experience" according to Dr. March, as there were no streets or docks and rainwater served as the island's water supply. He said while some students were initially wary of being out of their comfort zone, they were soon won over by the island's beauty and simplicity and the opportunity to conduct research at such a unique location.
"The lab is something you can't access as a tourist only as a researcher," said Dr. March. "It attracts researchers from around the world."
During the stay, the group took part in a number of excursions around Australia, including a trip to the top of the rainforest's canopy via a 17-story crane, learning to throw boomerangs and spears at Tjapukai aboriginal cultural park, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and a visit to the Cockatoo Island for its biannual art festival.
"It was better than anything I could have imagined," said Dr. March, a U.S. and Australia dual citizen. "The students said it was the most amazing experience they had ever had. For me, it was at that level as well."

Sound Advice
My Ear Hurts!
Comfort is very important when wearing your hearing aid(s). Discomfort occurs 10 percent of the time and usually happens when trying to remove your hearing instrument from your ear. In most cases, in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) and ear molds for behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTEs) can create a sore ear (usually towards the top of the aid or ear mold). When this happens, do not continue to wear the instrument. It's not like breaking in a new pair of shoes! The next step is to contact your hearing health-care professional who can assess the problem.
The majority of problems occur due to a "tight fit" and can be resolved by either grinding the mold/aid or remaking the entire hearing instrument or ear mold. Most hearing healthcare professionals can eliminate the problem by grinding and then buffing the problem area. You will be advised to wear the hearing instrument to "test drive" the modification. If this is unsuccessful, you should return to the office and have the aid and/or ear mold remade by the manufacturer. Remind the audiologist/dispenser to mark the area of soreness with a black marker to further reduce the risk of soreness reoccurring.
Remember, if your ear hurts don't try to get use to it. You have invested a lot of time and money towards better hearing. Contact your hearing health-care professional immediately who will fix the problem.

SANTA CRUZ, October 7, 2013 — Recently, Apple marked the two year anniversary of Steve Jobs' death. The untimely passing of the company's iconic leader left questions about its future capacity to innovate. In a tech culture filled with rivals and competition, Apple has managed to stay one step ahead of the pack for several years, due, many thought, to Jobs' singular vision. In the two years since his death, Apple has managed to continue rolling out great products and vanguard technology, even as its public image and internal structure have undergone drastic changes.
By now, the tale of Jobs and Apple is legendary. After forming the company in 1976 with friend and collaborator Steve Wozniak, he was forced out in 1985 after an internal power struggle. Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, rescuing the flailing company from bankruptcy. With Jobs in charge, Apple rolled out the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPad and iPhone, creating the gold standard which others have endeavored to emulate.
SEE RELATED: President Obama's Jed Bartlet moment
In the last two years, Apple's leadership structure has morphed into more of a rule by committee than the dictatorship many viewed Jobs' tenure as. Tim Cook, with Apple since 1998, is the new CEO. Unlike Jobs, he delegates and shares responsibility with a small group of fellow executives, primarily Craig Federighi, Phil Schller, and Jony Ive. Where Jobs was aloof, defensive, and abrasive, Cook comes across as genial, approachable, and much less secretive.
Jobs' illness and subsequent death were seen publicly as sudden events. Behind the scenes, he had been carefully preparing Cook and the others to carry on with the company after he had gone. It was a heady move and the primary reason Apple has not wavered since the passing of its cofounder.
Steve Jobs is revered as an icon, an enigmatic leader with a genius brain and rock star persona. To many, he appeared larger than life. From the revolutionary introduction of the iMac to the industry-changing iPhone, everything he announced during his rabidly anticipated keynote addresses quickly turned to tech gold.
In truth, Jobs was somewhat of a drifter. After dropping out of college, working odd jobs and borrowing money from friends to get by, he traveled to India and became temporarily transfixed by eastern philosophy. Credited with co-founding Apple, Wozniak was the more technically savvy of the pair with Jobs serving as the marketer, a brilliant and creative salesperson for Wozniak's snake oil.
SEE RELATED: Turn on, tune in, then what? Tech influencers on 21st centry life
Jobs, in his prime, retained a unique eye for creative talent and a singular focus for perfection in the company's product line, regardless of what other companies were doing. Several current tech standards were introduced by Apple to a chorus of disbelief and apprehension, only to have those critics hurry to copy what Apple had done.
When Jobs set out to rescue and reinvent the brand, Apple coveted the image of a feisty underdog, its "think different" advertising campaign striking a chord among the counter culture. Owning an Apple computer instantly identified one as an artist or musician, a rebel going against the grain. Jobs had not taken the traditional route to success, and everything Apple did went against the conventional thinking of the time.
Today, with close to $147 billion cash on hand, Apple's underdog days are certainly over. The company is on a tremendous winning streak, in spite of supply chain leaks, stock market cynicism, and unabated pressure from its peers. With the far more traditional leadership of Cook, and its sights set firmly in the future, Apple's new motto may be: "look different, think the same."

St. John's Advances To First-Ever NCAA Super Regional With 9-5 Win Against No. 4 North Carolina
One day after defeating the fourth-ranked Tar Heels in walk-off fashion, St. John's downed North Carolina, 9-5, to win its first NCAA Regional since 1980 and punch its ticket to a Super Regional for the first time in program history. Frank Schwindel was 5-for-5 to lead St. John's (40-21), which reached the 40-win plateau for the sixth time in the past eight years. Sean O'Hare and Robert Case had two RBI apiece to help pace the Red Storm. Matt Carasiti (7-5) allowed four runs in 5.1 innings to earn his third-straight win. Chaz Frank had two RBI for North Carolina (46-16), while starter Shane Taylor took the loss after allowing four runs in 2.0 innings of work.
Four St. John's Players Selected In Top Six Rounds
Jeremy Baltz and Matt Wessinger became the highest pair of St. John's players drafted since 1998 as the Red Storm had four players selected in the top six rounds for the first time in program history to highlight day two of the 2012 MLB Draft. Baltz went in the second round (68th overall) to the San Diego Padres, while Wessinger was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the fifth round (168th overall). Matt Carasiti was also taken by the Rockies in the sixth round (198th overall) and Kyle Hansen went to the Chicago White Sox in the sixth round (201st overall).

A large planetoid discovered in 1913.
(AF-42: dp. 7,435 (lim.); l. 338'6"; b. 50'0"; dr. 21'1" (lim.); s. 11.5 k. (tl.); cpl. 98; a. 1 3", 6 20mm.; cl. Adria; T. R1-M-AV3)
Bondia (AF-42) was laid down on 18 September 1944 at Beaumont, Tex., by the Pennsylvania Shipyard under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 2204); launched on 9 November 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Les Reil; delivered to the Navy on 31 March 1945; and commissioned on 17 April 1945, Lt. Milton L. Austin in command.
Following a period in drydock at Galveston, the store ship got underway on 29 April for her shakedown cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. She returned to Galveston on 4 May and, after a six-day post-shakedown availability, headed for Mobile, Ala., on the 10th. From 12 to 17 May, the ship loaded fresh provisions at Mobile. On the 17th, she stood out to sea on her way to the Pacific. Bondia arrived at Cristobal--the northern and Atlantic terminus of the Panama Canal--on 22 May. There, she spent three days dismantling faulty refrigeration equipment. On the night of the 25th and 26th, she transited the Panama Canal and then moored at Balboa to await delivery of additional spare parts for her refrigeration machinery.
Bondia finally received her parts on 1 JuIy, and she got underway for the Philippines that same day. Although difficuIties with her main engine plagued her during the voyage, she arrived at Guiuan, Samar, on 11 August and spent the rest of the month issuing small amounts of supplies and provisions at various locations in the archipelago. On the last day of August, the store ship departed Calicoan Island and shaped a course for the Admiralty Islands. She arrived at Manus on 6 September, loaded fresh provisions and dry cargo, and headed back to the Philippines on the 14th. Bondia entered Subic Bay on 21 September and began discharging cargo.
Between her return to the Philippines in late September 1945 and the first week in January 1946, the store ship made two more round-trip voyages to Manus and back. On 1 February 1946, Bondia set sail for the United States. She made a brief stop at Pearl Harbor between 24 and 26 February before arriving in San Francisco, Calif., on 6 March. She remained on the west coast for almost a month and then headed back to the Far East on 3 April. The ship arrived in Tsingtao, China, on the 27th. During the following five weeks, Bondia made calls at ports in China, Korea, and Japan. She headed home from Japan on 12 June and arrived in San Francisco on the 28th. Just over a month later, on 29 July 1946, she was placed out of commission and was transferred to the Maritime Commission.
Between 1946 and 1951, the Maritime Commission operated her as a merchant ship under the name SS Flemish Bend. On 27 July 1951, the Navy reacquired her for service in the Military Sea Transportation Service (MSTS). Though not in a commissioned status, the stores ship reassumed the name Bondia and plied the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea for over 20 years in support to American warships. She was finally placed out of service in April 1973, and her name was struck from the Navy list on 1 May 1973. On 19 November 1973, the ship was sold to the Chi Shun Hua Steel Co., Ltd., of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, for scrapping.

Hope for UK's threatened bumblebees as lost species given a second chance
An extinct British bumblebee species will get a boost today as a new generation of queens are released on the edge of Kent.
Experts have spent two weeks collecting Short-haired bumblebees from farmland in southern Sweden and today they will be reintroduced to the RSPB's reserve at Dungeness in Kent. Conservationists have hailed the story as a sign of hope for all of the UK's bumblebees.
The project, backed by Natural England, RSPB, Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Hymettus, began last year with an initial pilot reintroduction which followed four years of work with local farmers to create the ideal wildflower habitat for bumblebees across Romney Marsh and Dungeness.

The world of football is the latest brotherhood to have
been called out to participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
But what is ALS? Here is the definition straight from the ALS Association's official website:
"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed."
In an attempt to raise global awareness about the disease people from around the world have been prompted to either take the #IceBucketChallenge or make a donation to the ALS Foundation.
Check out Chelsea Captain John Terry as he accepts the #IceBucketChallenge below.

Steve Jobs just revealed the newest versions of Apple's iPod media players. The newest iPod is called the iPod Touch: It has a touch-sensitive 3.5-inch screen (like the iPhone) and has built-in wireless Internet access with a Safari browser, so you can download music from anywhere with Wi-Fi access. An 8-gigabyte model will cost $299, and 16 gigabytes will cost you $399.
There's also the new Nano that will be in stores by the weekend. It's tiny but has a larger screen than previous models (2.5-inch monitor) and comes in 4- and 8-gigabyte versions.
Jobs also made an announcement about how Apple is working with Starbucks. The idea is that if you are walking into a Starbucks with an iPod, whatever song is playing in that Starbucks will pop up on your iPod. You can then choose to buy it right on the spot. Now that's nifty. But it won't begin rolling out until October.
And for you iPhone users, iTunes will soon be selling ringtones for 99 cents a song. Ringtones from more than 500,000 songs will go on sale next week. And for those of you that wish you were iPhone users, Apple dropped the price of the iPhone to $399, from $599.
And those old iPods you own? Well, now they will be on sale named the iPod Classic. 'Cause you know, regular iPods are just so retro. But the new versions of the iPod Classic will come with a whopping 80 and 160 gigabytes!
You can read more about it here. Then again, if you couldn't care less about all things Apple, Microsoft also made an announcement today about its portable music player, the Zune. The 30-gigabyte player is now $50 cheaper at $199.

I remember first hearing about the accident early in the morning after the airplane went down. It was October 31, 1999, Halloween morning. I was in my office when a fellow pilot, a former flying companion, phoned with the news: It was EgyptAir Flight 990, a giant twin-engine Boeing 767 on the way from New York to Cairo, with 217 people aboard. It had taken off from Kennedy Airport in the middle of the night, climbed to 33,000 feet, and flown normally for half an hour before mysteriously plummeting into the Atlantic Ocean sixty miles south of Nantucket. Rumor had it that the crew had said nothing to air-traffic control, that the flight had simply dropped off the New York radar screens. Soon afterward an outbound Air France flight had swung over the area, and had reported no fires in sight—only a dim and empty ocean far below. It was remotely possible that Flight 990 was still in the air somewhere, diverting toward a safe landing. But sometime around daybreak a Merchant Marine training ship spotted debris floating on the waves—aluminum scraps, cushions and clothing, some human remains. The midshipmen on board gagged from the stench of jet fuel—a planeload of unburned kerosene rising from shattered tanks on the ocean floor, about 250 feet below. By the time rescue ships and helicopters arrived, it was obvious that there would be no survivors. I remember reacting to the news with regret for the dead, followed by a thought for the complexity of the investigation that now lay ahead. This accident had the markings of a tough case. The problem was not so much the scale of the carnage—a terrible consequence of the 767's size—but, rather, the still-sketchy profile of the upset that preceded it, this bewildering fall out of the sky on a calm night, without explanation, during an utterly uncritical phase of the flight.
Interviews: "Culture Crash" (November 15, 2001)
A conversation with William Langewiesche on the cultural reverberations of a seemingly straightforward airplane crash
I don't fly the 767, or any other airliner. In fact, I no longer fly for a living. But I know through long experience with flight that such machines are usually docile, and that steering them does not require the steady nerves and quick reflexes that passengers may imagine. Indeed, as we saw on September 11, steering them may not even require much in the way of training—the merest student-pilot level is probably enough. It's not hard to understand why. Airplanes at their core are very simple devices—winged things that belong in the air. They are designed to be flyable, and they are. Specifically, the 767 has ordinary mechanical and hydraulic flight controls that provide the pilot with smooth and conventional responses; it is normally operated on autopilot, but can easily be flown by hand; if you remove your hands from the controls entirely, the airplane sails on as before, until it perhaps wanders a bit, dips a wing, and starts into a gentle descent; if you pull the nose up or push it down (within reason) and then fold your arms, the airplane returns unassisted to steady flight; if you idle the engines, or shut them off entirely, the airplane becomes a rather well behaved glider. It has excellent forward visibility, through big windshields. It has a minimalist cockpit that may look complicated to the untrained eye but is a masterpiece of clean design. It can easily be managed by the standard two-person crew, or even by one pilot alone. The biggest problem in flying the airplane on a routine basis is boredom. Settled into the deep sky at 33,000 feet, above the weather and far from any obstacle, the 767 simply makes very few demands.
Not that it's idiot-proof, or necessarily always benign. As with any fast and heavy airplane, operating a 767 safely even under ordinary circumstances requires anticipation, mental clarity, and a practical understanding of the various systems. Furthermore, when circumstances are not ordinary—for example, during an engine failure just after takeoff or an encounter with unexpected wind shear during an approach to landing—a wilder side to the airplane's personality suddenly emerges. Maintaining control then requires firm action and sometimes a strong arm. There's nothing surprising about this: all airplanes misbehave on occasion, and have to be disciplined. "Kicking the dog," I called it in the ornery old cargo crates I flew when I was in college—it was a regular part of survival. In the cockpits of modern jets it is rarely necessary. Nonetheless, when trouble occurs in a machine as massive and aerodynamically slick as the 767, if it is not quickly suppressed the consequences can blossom out of control. During a full-blown upset like that experienced by the Egyptian crew, the airplane may dive so far past its tested limits that it exceeds the very scale of known engineering data—falling off the graphs as well as out of the sky. Afterward the profile can possibly be reconstructed mathematically by aerodynamicists and their like, but it cannot be even approximated by pilots in flight if they expect to come home alive.
I got a feel for the 767's dangerous side last summer, after following the accident's trail from Washington, D.C., to Cairo to the airplane's birthplace, in Seattle, where Boeing engineers let me fly a specially rigged 767 simulator through a series of relevant upsets and recoveries along with some sobering replays of Flight 990's final moments. These simulations had been flown by investigators more than a year before and had been reported on in detail in the publicly released files. Boeing's argument was not that the 767 is a flawless design but, more narrowly, that none of the imaginable failures of its flight-control systems could explain the known facts of this accident.
