Peter Laufer, P.h.D., is the author of more than a dozen books that deal with social and political issues, including Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq, Wetback Nation: The Case for Opening the Mexican-American Border, and Iron Curtain Rising: A Personal Journey through the Changing Landscape of Eastern Europe. He is the coanchor of The Peter Laufer Show on radio station Green 960 in San Francisco. More about his books, documentary films, and broadcasts, which have won the George Polk, Robert F. Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow, and other awards, can be found at peterlaufer.com.
"[A] compelling, all-angles examination. . . . Laufer delivers an absorbing science lesson for fans of the colorful bugs." --Publishers Weekly "Recommended for scientists and lay readers who enjoyed Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief." —Library Journal "Like The Orchid Thief, The Dangerous World of Butterflies takes us deep into the dark heart of obsessed collectors and the passionate activism of people working to repopulate species like the Palos Verdes blue. Worlds within worlds: Laufer, a veteran reporter on cultural and political borders, understands how these worlds cross and collide. His book is a Venn diagram of the beautiful and bizarre." --Los Angeles Times "[Laufer's] book is charming and his attention to detail, combined with a real gift for describing these fascinating characters -- like calling entomologist Arthur Shapiro "an endless litany of intriguing butterfly stories" -- made me want to read everything else he has written." --Andrew Ervin, Washington Post "...Laufer's The Dangerous World of Butterflies packs real entertainment wallop in a book filled with informed tidbits custom-designed for cocktail hour." --P. Joseph Potocki, The Bohemian "A charming . . . meditation on butterflies and the people who love them." --Kirkus "The Dangerous World of Butterflies: the Startling Subculture of Criminals, Collectors, and Conservationists by Peter Laufer is an eye-opening peek into the world of butterfly collecting. From true crime to heated debates between butterfly conservationists and butterfly farmers, this book reads like a novel." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Like The Orchid Thief, a book that exposed many unexpected aspects connected to another of nature's beautiful gifts, The Dangerous World of Butterflies is an entertaining, enlightening read." --Seattle Times "Laufer weaves his tale with a genial flair. . . . The journey with Laufer is one well worth taking." --Audubon "From the natural history and ecology of the butterfly to the very real threat of butterfly extinction, the world of museum collections, and more, this social, political and natural history is a key acquisition for both general lending libraries and those interested in science issues." --Midwest Book Review

Betting UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit
Analyzing and picking winners against the spread for all fights at UFC 143
The dust will settle at UFC 143, as the five-month saga surrounding the welterweight division will finally conclude with the naming of an interim champion. Though the belt will be on the line, nerves shouldn't play a role in this one, as the featured fighters on this card are not strangers to title fights. Headlining the event is former WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit versus former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.
If that isn't enough to give you your fill of former champions, the card's second billing will feature former IFL heavyweight champion Roy Nelson against former ADCC World Submission Wrestling heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. Impressive as they are, don't get lost in the credentials, as the stats paint a much better picture of where to find value in Vegas this Saturday night. Here are Insider's picks for UFC 143:
Fabricio Werdum (minus-125) vs. Roy Nelson (minus-105)
Neither Nelson nor Werdum has ever been submitted in his MMA career. This would seem to work against submission specialist Werdum, who has registered eight of 14 wins by submission. He also averages an active submission attempt rate of 1.74 per 15 minutes. But what most bettors will overlook coming into this fight is Werdum's striking ability, thinking that Nelson has the advantage in this area because of his history of spectacular knockouts.

Our View: Need help counting your blessings?
There's nothing better on Thanksgiving Day than being surrounded by loved ones, usually while sharing a great meal.
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate all those things that make individuals' lives better, richer and more meaningful. Just as people should count their individual blessings today, so too should they take the time to reflect on all the things the community provides to enrich their lives:
People should be thankful for the many dedicated and devoted public employees who are out there every day, even today, to make sure this community is safe. They patrol the streets, staff the firehouses, run the jails, respond to medical emergencies and more.
They should also be thankful for the folks who work for the cities and county to make sure basic services operate smoothly and effectively day in and day out, as well as those who are elected to oversee those efforts.
Residents should be thankful for the way people already came together this holiday season to make sure the mission and other charities have the food and the support, financial and volunteer, to deliver services to all those in need.
Parents should be thankful for the Merced Union High School District's efforts to raise graduation rates, especially among Latino students. It was recently recognized nationally for having one of the top programs in the country.
They should also be thankful for all the teachers who have toiled to bring up test scores at schools throughout the county, from McSwain Elementary to Planada Elementary -- to name just a few. The high schools were top performers, too.
Young people should be thankful for Merced College and all the programs it offers those making their initial foray into higher education. Often uncertain if they belong there or where it will lead them, the college's students are provided a smooth transition into the larger academic world -- and beyond.
UC Merced is another educational gem that residents should treasure. It brings a level of educational excellence, groundbreaking research and continuing expansion to an underserved region. Where once far too many thought a University of California education was beyond their grasp, today it's part of Merced's landscape.
That talent is not limited to the classroom. The 53rd annual Central California Band Review held earlier this month at Merced's Golden Valley High School brought in 33 middle school and high school bands, filling the city with music and gifted young musicians.
Something else to be thankful for is the support Merced communities show their veterans, with Merced's annual parade attracting hundreds who came out despite the weather to show their respect.
And the list goes on.
But in the end, the thing to be most thankful for is the people of Merced. Whether it's returning a lost yellow purse to its owner, planting palm trees to beautify the community, nursing the sick or helping the needy, residents should give thanks they live in an area with so many good people who do so much good. It doesn't get any better than that.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I Searched You Poem by ramesh rai
I searched you in Mosque, Church,
temple, Gurudwara, and at so many places
where you are being chanted
in various names of God or
any powerful spirit of nature
I found solace and peace
for the time being
but when I returned to my hermitage
disappointment starred me
I sat on meditation
chanted your various names, but still
disappointment followed me
So, I came out beneath the open sky
in the field, then
I saw you ploughing field
sowing seeds of life
without caring sun and rain
for creation of a new life
for survival of the existing life
I saw you in blooming flowers
without caring sun, rain, thunder and storms
spreading thy fragrance,
pleasing all passers by
I saw you being ripen with fruits and corns
for nourishment of all lives
I saw you making roads
hugging sun, rain and bitter cold
in your bosom, for all the travelers of the world
making them to reach
to the goal of their lives
I saw you, building mansion
in irrespective of seasons for comfort of lives
self residing under the roof of thousand ventilation
and rejoicing the natural phenomenon of life
I saw you in whore lane
selling her body, for survival of her life
and survival of lives of dependent
and of her kids
I saw you in whore lane
entertaining her customers
to rejoice the fun of life
I saw you flying in open sky
chirping the song of freedom
choosing the grains in the field
for amusement of natural life.
I saw you in shambles
sacrificing the life of cattle
being slaughtered brutally
for making delicious dish
to rejoice the fun of life
I saw you in the fragrance
of thy sweat coming out
due to days' toil
I saw you in changing season of life
I saw you giving rain and light
I saw you in sky, water, in land
I saw you
evolving for creation of new life
for a new fuller life and its decay.

So nice... The god is everywhere. You may call him Brahma or anything else but it scatters its boon all over the world in same manner. The imagery of bringing the whore under the same consoling powers of God makes it special. How can the sinners be left out for they also to be attended the dooms day? (Report) Reply
Jonathan Maldonado (9/25/2014 2:11:00 PM)
A beautiful sentiment of the difference between religion and God, for man created religion thus it divides, judges, damns, and even hates for what is war but a manifestation of hate. Whereas, God simply creates, loves, forgives, redeems, and exaults lifting spirit and soul to a higher consciousness. Great write, thank you. (Report) Reply

What are Tony Romo's plans for Miami game?
Tony Romo had only positive reviews following his first game action in about eight months on Saturday.
Receiver Dez Bryant said Romo was "ballin'" on the field. Coach Jason Garrett agreed, as well as owner and general manager Jerry Jones who said he's "convinced" Romo is back to being his old self.
It was a promising outing for Romo, who played for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disk in his back last December. He played 16 snaps (two nullified), completing 4-of-5 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Now, the question becomes how many more preseason snaps does Romo need to get ready for the season opener Sept. 7 against San Francisco?
Romo wouldn't reveal a target number for next week's "dress rehearsal" against the Dolphins in Miami, but said it is important that he plays at least one road game before the regular season opener.
"It's very important," Romo said. "You're kidding yourself as players if you think you can just show up in Game 1 of the regular season if you haven't played in the preseason. You're doing the game an injustice. It's a very fast, physical game that you need to be out there doing to get better."

Latest Christian views of divorce Stories
The U.S. divorce rate has been dropping and some couples have much better odds than the often-quoted 50-50 chance of wedded bliss, researchers say. Betsey Stevenson of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School said the divorce rate has been falling in the United States since 1979.
By Lundquist, Jennifer Hickes The belief that enlisted military divorce rates are unusually high is a recurring theme expressed among those living in the military community, yet quantitative data on military divorce rates remain a virtual lacuna.
By Coontz, Stephanie High rates of marital dissolution and easy access to divorce are not unprecedented, historically or cross-culturally. But contemporary divorce in North America and Western Europe has different origins and features than divorce in previous cultures.
By Frances Yoon SEOUL (Reuters) - Monday morning is the busiest time of the week at divorce courts in South Korea as couples queue to end their marriages after bouts of weekend bickering.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California man in the process of getting a divorce said on Monday he was suing a popular online dating service that barred him from joining until his marriage is officially over.

Comedian David Kilimnick 370.
(photo credit:Dana Dekel)
"My love story with comedy began around 13 years ago, when I started jotting my thoughts down about changing the world," recalls David Kilimnick, the comedian and founder of Jerusalem's only comedy club, Off the Wall Comedy Basement in town. "My random notes turned out to be pretty funny, and I knew I was onto something," he says. "People always said I was funny and my way of relating to the world is by wanting to fix it."Social change was nothing new for David, with an American Masters degree in Social Work and Smicha (Rabbinical accreditation). David grew up in Rochester, New York before studying at Yeshiva in Israel and making aliya in 2003.The first show he took part in was ten years ago at a Purim comedy show at Mercaz Hagshamim when he was studying in Yeshiva in Hamiftar, south of Efrat. "Nobody had really listened to me before," says David. "I liked the form of expression. I also thought to myself that Jerusalem could use a comedy club, and was excited at the prospect of having a reason to make aliya."David then returned to America for a year, where he resumed work as a community programmer and Jewish professional through Hillel. In the middle of that year, David went to Los Angeles for six weeks to study comedy with comedian Greg Dean. "I wanted to be part of the real world of comedy," says David. "Although I believe you can learn from doing, I also wanted a formula so I could train and empower others."Before making aliya, David spent a few months at home with his parents, who thought he was crazy to "give up" his professional life. "My dad's a funny man," relates David. "He introduced me in a show at the time by saying that between my Masters Degree and Smicha, the routine the audience was about to see cost him $150,000."David began his aliya at Ulpan Etzion in Jerusalem, where he wrote material for his Aliyah Monologues show in English and Hebrew. After Ulpan, he started Off the Wall Comedy Empire at the Little House in Baka, the former Olala Café on King George Street the following year and at the OU Israel Center the next year. Then, in October 2007, David and a partner Jeremy "Man" Saltan opened the Comedy Club. A year later, Jeremy decided to pursue a career in politics, but David continued. "It was hard to get the business going initially, but I'm a competitor and if you make it hard for me, I'll try to find a way to fight back," he explains.David's repertoire consists of about eight or nine shows including Find me a Wife, Frum from Birth, My Religious Manifesto and a new show that is a platform for change in Israel, David Kilmnick – I am Israeli. "The material for my shows comes from a place of sadness, happiness, a yearning for change," reflects David. "A lot of philosophers were comedians in their time. If everything was right, then the world wouldn't be as fun to talk about.""My new show is a lot bolder," exclaims David. "Over time, I have become less apologetic and more okay with saying I know better because I am American." David feels he can do this as he performs in Hebrew and talks directly to Israelis. Whereas when he was a new oleh David's material revolved around questioning why everything is the way it is, it's now shifted to another voice: "let's change this."However, David relays how he's still being taken advantage of. "In Israel, the guy who installs your TV tries to convince you that it's straight when you can see clearly that it's not," chuckles David. "Right now there is a washing machine in my living room and I'm expending lots of energy trying to get it installed in the proper place. Since I'm not having much luck, I've considered making it the centrepiece.""I love what I do – the real interaction with people and being able to be honest," says David. "There's nothing better than feeling you're doing something that's positive. I am happy that the place and show can be there for people. There's no greater therapy than seeing that there's other people in the same boat as you, and then laughing about it. It's an amazing outlet." The club has a community-feel and is a safe and warm haven in downtown Jerusalem. "It is a place that is deliberately not cool; a place without attitude," reflects David."Jerusalem is different to any other city in Israel. Life smacks you in the face here; it's real and that's the comedy that develops here," says David. "So many tourists prefer to hear it all fluffed up but it's not what they get." David believes that most people in Jerusalem are a little messed up but "put them in their appropriate neighborhood, and they're normal.""Every culture that moves to the city fights to keep their culture here," remarks David. "The best kind of acclimation is learning to be who you are in this society. Acclimating – don't do it.""What do I love most about Jerusalem? It's what I hate most about it too. In the past I was always the Jew, but here I am a person and it's a challenge to be a person in this world," says David. "Although I miss the community feel that I grew up with, as Jews we're supposed to be a religion as well as a nation.""I see it as my mission to bring happiness and laughter to the Holy City," says David. "I'd also like to settle down soon and get more into Torah learning. But being at the club is like being at a funeral or shiva house in the sense that I know I'm in the right place."

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Chestnut Hill College will host training for The Soldiers Project Pennsylvania on "Military Sexual Trauma" on Thursday, November 15 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Redmond Room, St. Joseph Hall.
The presentation will define and describe military sexual trauma (MST) as well as explain some of the difficulties both female and male survivors of MST may have now and years later. It will also examine why many survivors do not come forward while in the service, regrettably suffering in silence. Services available for MST survivors will be explained and contact information provided.
Allison M. Stanco, M.S., LPC, will present the training. The training is open to social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, professional counselors and those in the medical field. Two continuing education credits (CEU) will be offered for social workers, professional counselors and marriage and family therapists who attend. All members and guests who plan to attend the workshops will need to preregister to receive CEU certificates on the day of the training.
Stanco is a readjustment counselor and military sexual trauma counselor at the Montgomery County Vet Center. She earned her undergraduate degree in 2002 from the Pennsylvania State University and her master of science in community counseling from the University of Scranton. Stanco previously worked as a counselor for the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Dix, N.J., and has been a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard since 1997. She currently is chair of the Montgomery County Veteran's Suicide Prevention Subcommittee and a member of the Montgomery County Suicide Prevention Taskforce.
The Soldiers Project was started in 2004 by psychiatrist Judith T. Broder, M.D., who believed that it was her professional obligation to help returning troops and their families to manage the myriad of war-related mental health issues. In conjunction with the Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center in Los Angeles, they jointly started a program to help veterans. The program provides free care for service men and women and their families. Now more than five years since its inception, The Soldiers Project in the Southern California area alone has more than 200 volunteer clinicians with over 400 in the entire country.
There is a $25.00 charge for those attending who are not members of The Soldiers Project PA, with or without CEUs. Registration is required and payment can be made at the door. Please email Sister Nancy DeCesare, Ph.D. at firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Plan to attend the comical and entertaining, "The Pirates of Penzance" as presented by the Chestnut Hill College Music Department.
Tickets cost $12 for general admission and $5 for seniors,
children and students. Call 215.753.3707 for tickets. Click here for more information.

Top stories this week are likely to include: Colombia-FARC peace negotiations move to Havana; 2013 presidential contest set in Honduras; Canadian trade minister in Brussels for free trade talks; and The Hague rules on the Nicaragua-Colombia maritime border dispute.
Colombia-FARC Talks Resume: Representatives from the Colombian government arrived yesterday in Havana, Cuba, ahead of the commencement of peace negotiations with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—FARC) rebels who had arrived in Havana last week. The talks began ceremonially in Oslo last month, but this week marks a renewed stage of direct negotiations between the two parties—mediated by Cuba and Norway, and observed by Chile and Venezuela. Upon landing in Havana yesterday, Humberto de la Calle, chief negotiator for the government, said that these negotiations would test whether the FARC guerrillas were "willing to reach concrete and realistic agreements."
Reaction to Honduran Presidential Primaries: Yesterday, the three major political parties in Honduras selected their presidential candidates to compete in the November 2013 contest. The incumbent Partido Nacional de Honduras (National Party of Honduras) selected Juan Orlando Hernandez; the Partido Liberal de Honduras (Liberal Party of Honduras), to which former President Manuel Zelaya belonged, chose Mauricio Villeda; and the Partido Libertad y Refundación (Freedom and Refoundation Party—LIBRE) opted for Zelaya's wife, Xiomara Castro, who ran unopposed for the post. Now that the field is freshly set, expect significant chatter about the candidates and their backgrounds.
Canada-EU Talk Free Trade: Canadian Minister of Trade Ed Fast will arrive in Brussels, Belgium, today for an advanced round of negotiations on the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which will establish a large free-trade zone between the two economic giants. According to The Globe and Mail, CETA would "open up government procurement contracts to foreign bidders; toughen patent protection laws on pharmaceuticals; increase mutual access to financial services markets; lower some agriculture protections; and include a dispute-resolution mechanism to protect investors and governments." A final deal is expected to be signed in late 2012 or early 2013.
Nicaragua-Colombia Dispute Ruling: The International Court of Justice will rule on a longstanding maritime border dispute between Nicaragua and Colombia over three islets in the Caribbean Sea—known as San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina. At issue is a 1928 treaty signed between the two countries that was annulled in 1980 by the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The Hague had ruled in 2007 that the 1928 treaty was still valid, but also agreed to review the maritime border—which will culminate in today's ruling.

I'm so glad to see people posting. I was beginning to think I had joined a dead forum. I have found some really great ideas on the forum.
Hi Deb, got your email and came over to check things out. I will continue to watch, but I think this place is a dead horse :-). I would love to be in a forum about decorative painting or any craft, so keep up the good work. I currently am stamping and painting. Had you thought about starting a forum on Yahoo or one of the others? If this doesn't work let me know if you want to start one elsewhere.

Any good shower & tub kit with hand held showerhead to recommend?
I checked online and found some good shower kit with handheld shower head. But it did not have the tub spout. Would it be better to have both a shower head and tub spout?
I need recommendation of a good shower & tub kit with hand held showerhead.
Any input or sharing of experience is greatly appreciated.
Is the following a good one, although it does not have the tub spout? It comes with pressure balance and thermostatic models. I saw a complaint to Grohe's thermostatic model before (temperature changed when some people flushed the toilet), so this pressure balance model might be fine. It does not have the rainhead, which some people complained of low pressure.
Can the fixed shower and handheld one run simultaneously? Most important question, do I need to order additional parts if I want to buy this kit?
Thank you very much.
Here is a link that might be useful: Grohe GRFLX-PB303 Authentic Pressure Balance Shower System. Multi-Function Shower Head, Hand Shower, Slide Bar & Rough-in Valve Included.

This event did not live up to expectations. We found it very boring, difficult to follow since the words were not always clearly heard and we left at intermission.
This production is recommended for ages 4 and up.
Running time is 2 hours, including one 15-minute intermission.
This is a concert version of the show, not a fully staged production.

Musikmesse 2013: Mum & Baby On The Decks
When we think about DJing and those who are involved in the industry, we tend to assume that it is the younger audience who is doing all of the work and making all of the moves. That may have been true during the infancy of DJing, but it cannot be true today. In fact, many of the men and women who pioneered the industry are still around and aren't hampered by their older age (this isn't a contact sport anyways). They may very well be the most experience and most versed DJs in the industry – but you have to consider their personal lives as well.
Although they spend time behind the decks, many of these DJs have families and mouths to feed like the rest of us. Their kids might be growing up with parents as DJs, and as a result, these kids have a better shot at understanding what it takes to DJ as a career, or at least a lifelong hobby. Much like families that have groomed their sons to become professional racecar drivers or basketball players, you should expect to see scores of younger DJs picking up where their parents left off. Perhaps it will stay in the family.

Apps: Asphalt 8 1.1, Basecamp, Fantastical 2, Jake's Never Land Shapes and Patterns + Nike+ Move
Gameloft's Asphalt 8 has gone free to play in version 1.1.0. The game has also added the Clio R.S., and Gameloft claims "new cars will appear at any moment." New limited-time cups and boosters are now included, and a multiplayer world series introduces seven new reverse tracks. Touch controls can also be customized now, with the quiet addition of support for "Apple gamepads" also nestled inside the update.
Basecamp (free) from 37signals now supports iOS 7. The project management app lets team members access everything in a project from the app, from anywhere, providing comments while they collaborate on the project. Basecamp lets members view progress and upload files, as well. The latest version 1.4.1 fixes a blank screen bug.
Flexibits' new Fantastical 2 ($5) has already proven to be a popular calendar app; now it's been redesigned for iOS 7 with reminders, new event details, a new week view, background app updating, an extended keyboard, and much more. The app also supports dictation. It's currently on sale for $3.
Disney's Jake's Never Land Shapes and Patterns ($4) uses characters from Jake and the Never Land Pirates to teach children about — as you may have guessed — shapes and patterns. Three leveled curriculum activities help kids recognize and learn shapes and patterns. The interactive app allows children to personalize their own pirate puppets, as well. Characters voices from the show add to the experience. Our kid testers really loved the app's sampled audio and animation, finding the interface mostly easy to figure out; if your child loves the Jake TV show, give it a shot.
Nike has introduced its anticipated new Nike+ Move (free) app. Announced at an Apple event in September, Nike+ Move is designed to work exclusively with the iPhone 5s, using the device's M7 coprocessor. It measures your activity throughout the day through the oblique NikeFuel system. The app shows users where and and when they move the most each day. Earned NikeFuel points can be compared to points earned by friends.

Arizona Coyotes
Shane Doan: Coyotes not scoreboard watching yet
According to the NHL standings, the Phoenix Coyotes are a playoff team.
That's on March 5.
On March 4, they weren't. And on March 6, they may not be again.
The lockout-shortened season has led to a bit of a cluster in the Western Conference standings, and while the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks are perched at the top, everyone else is grouped together.
To wit: No. 3 Vancouver has 26 points, while No. 10 Detroit has 24. Only eight teams make the playoffs, by the way.
The Coyotes have collected 25 points and are currently in fourth place.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan, as a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday, said the only time the players check the standings is after a win.
"When you lose you know you don't have to go and check because it's not good," he said. "And when you win it's 'OK, we won so did it help us at all' and you get up and you check and you're like 'no, it didn't, it didn't really change anything, we have to win again.'"
Doan said the key is not looking back at games the team lost that it feels it should have won, which the Coyotes have had plenty of this season. He said they don't do that so much, which he attributes to the coaching staff led by Dave Tippett.
Tippett, who has guided the Coyotes to the postseason in each of the last three seasons, rightfully gets a lot of credit for the team's success.
And while they haven't been as good defensively this year as the coach would like, Doan said Tippett isn't exactly upset with the group.
"Maybe there's a little bit of a letdown on our part on what it takes, and yet we're still finding ways to get points," Doan said.
Doan knows the team's defense must improve if the Coyotes are to make another deep postseason run, but says Tippett does a good job of balancing the idea that they could be better but are not playing too bad.
"He points out all the things we've got to change, and yet at the same time he's saying 'but keep finding ways to win, that's the nature of the beast. It doesn't matter how, just make sure you win.'"

How to identify antique furniture?
There are certain things I would like to know about idenifying antique furniture. I know how to identify furniture by the style of legs,type of screws, etc.......THe items I don't know and cannot find a good resource are....what year's were various casters made. wood wheel casters, brass casters etc. What dates did black stencils become a way to identify furniture?? What about chalk writing on the underside of antique furniture?
Is there a good book that gives the answers or does anyone on this forum have the knowledge? I have googled my brain out trying to find answers.
One more thing. why and when was gilt paint used on picture frames, various metals etc.?
Thanks to all.
None of those questions can be answered definitivly.
Leg styles were reproduced...so while Chippendale made his signature the cabriole leg with the carved foot,a nd Hepplewhite the dainty squared off leg, others made them and they were used by makers and manufacturers for decades and centuries.
When the industrial revolution came about and there came to be "manufactured furniture" instead of furniture hand made by a cabinetmaker, the furniture began to be made with some machined screws and nails...but some furniture continued to be hand made....and still is.
The stencil indicated the piece is factory made....and the chalk could have happened at any time....by a mover last year.
Gilt also has been used since Roman times and likely earlier.
There are no easy cheat sheets....you have to study and learn. There is no substitute for experience.
Linda C
thanks for answering. Yes stencils were used by factory's. what year were stencils first used?
Years for differant types of casters.....wood, brass, steel, etc.?
yes, chalk writings can/could be used at any time, but was there a time this practice was most prevelant??
Maybe there is no book that gives this type of info. I am kinda knowledgable about dating nails, saw marks, dowels etc. Its the small stuff like furniture wheels.
okay this might sound a bit nuts. When an antique piece of furniture comes without its casters....Just wanna be sure I know which ones to get.
Anyone have anything to add???
Fred Taylor is considered an expert in the field of antique furniture (well, besides those gorgeous Keno brothers that is...) He made a video "Identification of Older & Antique Furniture" which is a great resource. I was fortunate enough to attend an antiques conference a few years ago and I learned so much from him. Also, if you eventually want some "heavier" reading, try Albert Sack's Fine Points of Furniture, which is like the Furniture Bible. It is not cheap--but is one of my favorites.
If you specifically want antique furniture of a centain type such as American oak, I would suggest dealing with reputable dealers who can authenticate the pieces. I have several pieces which fall in that catagory. If on the other hand you wish to be able to spot pieces at tag sales and flea markets, it's a real crap shoot. You also need to understand the difference between old and antique. I have a beautiful mahogany secretary from the 40ties. That's old. I also have a marvelous solid cherry gate leg table circa 1835. It is a verafiable antique purchased from a dealer in New Hampshire. You need to decide if you are purchasing for your home or for resale. If the latter, you really need to know what you are doing. I have been dealing for 40 years and I just have a second sense about these things. Don't know Linda C. but suppose she is the same way.
I am wondering if anyone would be able to give me a guestimate of the value of the antique couches below. Or would it just depend on where they were placed for sale? We live in a small rural area, so there is not much demand around here for these pieces. If you can help at all, thank you.

f you ever happen to be a notorious scathing outlaw revolutionary pervert American novelist and you find that the New Yorker has published an excerpt of your diaries, you can be sure that one of two things has happened: 1. your writing has gone flat; or 2. you're dead. In the case of William Seward Burroughs, it's the latter.
Burroughs' life may raise the question "Must genius be accompanied by madness?" But not so much as his death raises the question "Why has the question 'Must genius be accompanied by madness?' been replaced in our time by the question 'Must talent be accompanied by being an asshole?'?" Burroughs was more of a madman than an asshole, but knew about assholes because he spent a lot of time in them and, a card-carrying member of the Write What You Know school of writing, wrote about them with abandon and panache, and about death, and nightmare insect creatures, and a lot of other things and people he knew.
He was born to a wealthy family in St. Louis, Mo., on February 5, 1914. As a child, he wanted to be a writer because writers "lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing a pet gazelle." At age fifteen, he was packed off to a boarding school for boys called Los Alamos Ranch School, on the site where the first atom bomb was later made. There he read Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde and did odious chores and always had a chill. The other boys at school didn't like the frail homosexual aesthete Billy. He wrote diaries and stories that later embarrassed him because of "the terrible falsity of the emotions expressed." It wasn't until 1950, at the age of 36, that Burroughs finished a book that got published. It was called Junky and came out in 1953.
And now to the madness. While writing Junky, he himself was a heroin addict, living in Mexico City with his wife, Joan Vollmer, with whom he conceived a child, William Jr. William Jr. died in 1981 of cirrhosis of the liver after a life of hard drinking. Burroughs Senior was a disastrous husband and father, not at all the sort of person you'd want to marry or be conceived by. In September of 1951, drunk and drugged, he and Vollmer performed their "William Tell act." She placed a drinking glass on top of her head and he tried to shoot it off with a gun, but he shot her in the head and she died. There are confused accounts of the legal aftermath. He either served a very short prison sentence in Mexico, or he fled to South America and served no time, depending on whose account you believe. He was eventually cured of his heroin addiction, but he continued to be a gun enthusiast, for which you could criticize him in the same way you could criticize a convicted rapist for enjoying masturbation.
Burroughs was not okay with having accidentally murdered his wife. The killing, he said, "brought me into contact with the invader, the Ugly Spirit, and maneuvered me into a lifelong struggle, in which I have had no choice but to write my way out." He was subject to bouts of intense depression. He often dreamt of a place he called The Land of the Dead. In the last book published in his lifetime, My Education: A Book of Dreams, he wrote: "Can I find coffee and a roll in one of the dime cafés? This is a recurring question in the Land of the Dead. The answer is, almost certainly not." Compare this with a similar passage written by another famous New Yorker writer and alleged pederast, Woody Allen: "Still obsessed by thoughts of death, I brood constantly. I keep wondering if there is an afterlife, and if there is will they be able to break a twenty?" The difference between the two passages is in the placement of the irony. In the second, the irony stands between Woody Allen and "Woody Allen." In the first, the irony stands between what William Burroughs wants and what William Burroughs knows he's going to get. In other words, they're both being funny, but Burroughs isn't kidding.
Burroughs' second and best-known book, Naked Lunch, was published in 1959 in England and three years later in America, where it was subjected to a prolonged but unsuccessful obscenity trial. Naked Lunch is a novel, kind of. It contains a lot of lurid and apocalyptic scenes and recurring characters, but you often don't know where the action in a given scene is taking place, or what its relation is to the action in the scenes that precede or follow it. There is no clear protagonist or observing consciousness. Sometimes it reads like a movie script, often like a transcription of a nightmare, here and there like nasty, stomach-turning porn.
In later years he wrote more conventional novels, such as The Place of Dead Souls and The Western Lands, though he did not lead a more conventional life: as late as 1972, at the age of 58, he was arrested in New York City for writing the words AH POOK IS HERE on a subway wall.
A lot of hoopla surrounded the death of Burroughs, as well as that of his friend Allen Ginsberg, who died in the same year. I suspect that quite such a big deal would not have been made had Burroughs and Ginsberg died five or ten years sooner. Why? Partly because they were both smart, eloquent, honest queers, and queerness is now finally becoming at least crudely understood among the non-queer population. There are those in the gay and gay-friendly community who object when homosexuality is linked with outrageous behavior or deviance or drug use or a life beyond the edges of mainstream social comportment. But there are many others who recognize that, for better or worse, being openly gay has historically had the status of a subversive act. It is in this latter context that Burroughs and Ginsberg have rightly been lionized.
Also, regardless of whom they had sex with, Burroughs and Ginsberg spoke with clear, sharp voices that cut through the soupy mix of crap and filler that befouls the atmosphere of a culture on which an smaller and smaller group of powerful assholes now have a stranglehold. Reader, as you peruse the Burroughs passage with which I will close this short and modest eulogy, I encourage you to hold a thought in your head of your own personal two or three least favorite talking assholes in positions of power in today's increasingly monopolized culture economy. Ready? Here we go: "Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk?" says the infamous Dr. Benway in Naked Lunch,
"This ass talk had a sort of gut frequency. It hit you right down there like you gotta go... This man worked for a carnival you dig, and to start with it was like a novelty ventriloquist act... After a while the ass started talking on its own... Then it developed sort of teeth-like little raspy in-curving hooks and started eating. He thought this was cute at first and built an act a round it, but the asshole would eat its way through his pants and start talking on the street, shouting out it wanted equal rights. It would get drunk, too, and have crying jags nobody loved it and it wanted to be kissed same as any other mouth. Finally it talked all the time day and night, you could hear him for blocks screaming at it to shut up, and beating it with his fist, and sticking candles up it, but nothing did any good and the asshole said to him: 'It's you who will shut up in the end.'"
(This is a modified version of an essay I wrote in August of 1997 to mark the death of William S. Burroughs. It was originally published in Goodbye: The Journal of Contemporary Obituaries, edited and published by Steve Miller. --M.S.)
