For those interested in learning and practicing woodworking as it was done in centuries past, or with a special piece of wood too large to run through your bandsaw, frame saws offer a viable method of resawing lumber and ripping planks. Blades like these have been used and proven for hundreds of years. Available in three different sizes to cover a wide range of ripping and resawing tasks.
If you are looking for the hardware by itself, that can be ordered separately. Or buy the complete kit (blade and hardware together) for a modest savings.
Sharpening: If you prefer to sharpen your own saws, the blade can be ordered with punched teeth, ready for you to joint, set, and sharpen (using the taper triangular saw files sold below or here, for sharpening). If you are new to sharpening, this saw blade is a good introduction to the art. The rip profile is easier to sharpen than a crosscut one, while the large teeth make it easy to see what you are doing.
If you are not yet ready to tackle your own sharpening, I offer sharpened blades. These blades are jointed, set, and sharpened to my high standards, and are ready to cut (they may require side dressing to fine tune the tracking, which is explained in the sharpening instructions).
Drilling the holes: If you are using your own hardware, you can order your blade without holes so that you can drill or punch it to fit your frame and hardware. Drilling is best done with carbide; I sell the same carbide drill bits that I use in my shop below. An ordinary masonry drill bit can also be used if you have a way to sharpen the tip. If you have neither the means nor the inclination to drill or punch your own holes, I do offer that service.
Blade details: Available in 4 sizes (see table below), with custom lengths of up to 50" available. Blades are deblued; this is not a fine polish or mirror finish, but is perfectly serviceable. They can be used as is, or sanded to a more polished finish before sharpening. Because these saws are meant to cut fast, the teeth have approximately 0° of rake (unless otherwise requested).

It Will Soon Be Legal to Dye Baby Chicks Any Color You Want in Florida
What the hell happens up in Tallahassee sometimes? Seriously?
See, the apparently powerful dog grooming lobby convinced our elected officials to take time out of their busy legislative session to lift an old ban on dying live animals. They were actually successful, but the ban now means that the controversial practice of dying baby chickens all the colors of the rainbow will be lifted on July 1.
So, you know those obsessive dog groomers who make their dogs look like some rejected prop from a low budget Lady Gaga video? The people responsible for things like this:
Or this:
Upcoming Events
This is a thriving subculture apparently. They have their own competitions and everything, but Florida groomers are at a disadvantage because they can't dye their dogs' fur thanks to the ban. These people got the ears of actual Florida politicians and convinced them to lift the ban, and it actually happened. It went through committees, passed both the House and the Senate, and was signed by Gov.Rick Scott and everything. So, by July it will be perfectly legal to dye animals again.
Guess who was behind the amendment to lift the ban? Yep, Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, the anti-regulation Republican from Fort Lauderdale who was also behind recent moves to bring full-service casinos to South Florida and to move Miami-Dade's urban development line. (And mother of the year!).
The New York Times' reports, however, that now animal activists are upset that the Easter-time custom of dyeing baby chicks has been reintroduced into Florida.
"Humane societies are overflowing with these animals after Easter every year," Don Anthony of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida told the paper. "This law has protected thousands of animals from neglect and abuse, and it shouldn't be lifted on the whim of one dog groomer who wants to dye poodles purple."
Food coloring is injected into the embryo of a chicken egg, and the animals are born with all sorts of technicolor plumage. Parents tend to buy them as Easter presents, but often the kids get tired of the chicks pretty quickly. Activists think being manhandled by Easter candy-hyped up kids can be pretty stressful for the chickens (never mind the eventual fate of the birdies), and they vow to convince the legislature to reinstate the ban on dyeing chicks next year.

I attended the course this afternoon in the Conrad Hotel, it was professionally presented, very interesting and should be of value to all who attended.
It consisted of interactive elements, with drivers discussing amongst each other what they believed defined good service, then these points were expanded upon by the presentation team.
I came away with some new ideas for improving the service I give to customers.
It's just a shame that those most in need of the ideas and help given during the session are the very ones that wouldn't bother going.

For most, summer time means vacation time which also means spending money. So to avoid spending all of your hard earned cash Bankrate.com teamed up with vacation goers and compiled these tips on how you can save this vacation season.
First off don't plan too far in advance ... by being flexible with your plans you can make the deal your inspiration.
"Play with the dates and see what else is available."
Because the beach is always a summer hotspot ... hotels on the water are overpriced. By booking a hotel a couple blocks away you could save up to 20% a night. And make sure to look for hotels or condos with a kitchen.
"I don't eat out, that's really the main thing. I try to find a place where there's a supermarket."
Also avoid mid-summer stays. These are peak vacation times so prices are increased. You will get the best deals if you book April through May or after Labor Day.
If you're going to an amusement park -- stop into the closest grocery store before you head to the park. Soft drink, bread and yogurt will often have discounts on their labels.
Feeling a little daring? Try swapping houses. Homeexchange.com gives you a list of homes you can stay at around the world-for free.
And use social media. If you follow airlines on Twitter you can see when they are offering discounts on tickets.
"It helps save a lot and you do really find great deals."
There are only a few airlines that do not charge a fee per checked bag, so pack lightly and check exchange rates before flying out of the country. By being proactive about the rates you can avoid losing money per dollar you spend.
"I'm still waiting for the euro to drop a little more, France is on the list. So right now it's a $1.25 for one euro I'm hoping it goes to par."
Not into flying? Check out Gaspricewatch.com or Gasbuddy.com to see the best rates in your area for gas.
And of course when you use websites like Groupon, LivingSocial and Costco.com pay close attention to the all-inclusive package deals.
"They're really good with car rental prices, hotel prices; they can do packages to Disney."
"We do comparing just looking online at the website of the hotel or the airlines and it seems to always save when you go online."
By following these tips you will save a ton of money and have some left over for souvenirs. For more ways to save this summer on your vacation plans just check out Bankrate.com. I'm Theresa Heintz.

The Illinois Advocates of Educational Choice is a not-for-profit organization that promotes laws that will benefit the children in non-public schools, and improve education in Illinois. IAEC believes that non-public schools, which educate approximately 1 in 10 Illinois students from K through 12, are necessary partners with public schools in educating Illinois's children. As an educational policy in Illinois to best educate our children, public schools must be supported and adequately funded. Equally important, parents must also be provided the opportunity to send their children to non-public schools, and the State of Illinois should provide support to the parents of these children. We closely coordinate our efforts with other organizations that promote educational choice, including the Illinois Coalition of Non-Public Schools, Christian Schools International, Missouri Synod Lutheran schools, and the Catholic Conference of Illinois.

'Fat cat' lawyer image creating more LiPs, says Citizens Advice
Topics: Family and children,Legal aid and access to justice,Courts business
Many litigants in person underestimate the value of having a lawyer, with media stories of 'fat cat' lawyers encouraging more people to take matters into their own hands, research from charity Citizens Advice has revealed.
The report on unrepresented litigants in family courts also highlighted the negative experiences faced by those who pursue cases without legal representation.
According to the report, the stress, responsibility and loneliness of going to court without representation can mean 'litigants in person achieve worse outcomes compared with their represented counterparts'.
It also showed 90% of people who had been LiPS found the experience negatively affected their health, relationships, work or finances. Some lost their jobs due to the pressure, while others got into debt due to court issues, including paying for photocopying and travelling to and from court.
Meanwhile, seven in 10 reported they might 'think twice' about taking a case to court themselves if they could not afford a lawyer.
The charity said the rise in litigants in person was mainly due to clients being unable to afford a lawyer due to reduced funding for those going to the family court following the implementation of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) in 2013.
But it also noted that some people chose to be unrepresented as they either mistrusted lawyers or were not aware of the value lawyers could bring to their case. The charity said unclear information about the services lawyers provide 'makes it difficult for people to judge the quality of a professional or compare services'.
The report said consumers are not being guided to the increasingly widespread unbundling services lawyers now offer.
It said that without clear information, unrealistic expectations cause people to feel frustrated with the service they receive. This, combined with a lack of awareness of consumer protections, means one poor experience can 'put someone off the whole sector'.
The charity said it was only after people had been through the process of going to the family court that they realised the value of having a lawyer, with 70% saying that instructing a professional would have benefited their court experience.
Gillian Guy (pictured), chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: 'For people representing themselves in the family courts, whether in a divorce case or to keep the legal right to see their children, the workload to prepare can be unmanageable. In extreme cases people are quitting their job so they have the time to do research before going to court.
'The stress of making your case against qualified barristers and navigating complex court processes without the right guidance can make existing mental and physical health problems worse.'
'If people representing themselves in court knew where they could get reliable information online or face-to-face this could help cut down the time they need to prepare.'
Readers' comments (25)
Well...they would say that, wouldn't they.
But if you can find any such well fed cat, outside the major cities, please let me know won't you...
The last paragraph sums up the stupidity of the CAB's outlook. Such 'reliable...face to face' advice was located in provincial legal aid solicitors offices right round the country and is reliable and professional because of the years of study and experience needed to be able to provide such reliability and that, my friend, has to be paid for.
No surprises in this article! You get what you pay for so if you pay nothing - you get nothing.
LiPs should surely stop for a moment and realise that there is a reason why we train for 6 or 7 years to do this job after (hopefully) having achieved good grades at school. Its obvious that a taxi driver or an IT consultant or a builder etc, are just not going to triumph against a barrister in a courtroom, just as a barrister won't do too well at building a computer network or an extension on their house.
I have to ask therefore, is this really newsworthy?
The fact that media reports of fat cat lawyers is discouraging people from using solicitors is like saying that fire is hot. Of course it is! The media and the insurance industry are very aware of this, as are politicians I'm sure. They use it to their advantage and their ability to do so far outweighs our ability to fight back. Most people who use solicitors become aware of their value and would do so again, but if they've never been involved in the court process and are faced with scare stories of people losing their homes to pay the 'fat cat lawyers' no doubt being a LiP is attractive. It is only afterwards that they may reflect that better advice may have brought about a better outcome, and by that time it is probably too late. Therefore a bitter taste is left by the whole court process and they may think again before entering the court room a second time.
We, as a profession, do not seem to know how to use the media. We are generally understated individually in 'putting ourselves forward' and our representatives, while well meaning no doubt, tend to be seen as pompous and upper-class, speaking with a cut-glass accent and therefore in the eyes of the public being lumped in with the 'haves' as opposed to the 'have nots'. So, anything our representatives may say is taken as being part of the conspiracy to do reasonable, ordinary people out of their hard earned cash.
It is sad that the general public have that perception of us. We all know that we are fighting ourselves against the system.
Do I have an answer, do I know how to fix that false perception? No, sadly I do not. But perhaps together as a profession we can work to change it.
Answers on a postcard...
I have very little sympathy with anyone now complaining. Also blame the press.
Everyone has been warned over many years and wilfully believed that we were feathering our own nests when we explained that good advice cannot be provided below a cerain price.
Now the chickens re coming home to roost and I am feeling pretty hard hearted.
I take no pleasure in saying "we told you so"
Frankly, 'Anonymous' is the very last solicitor I would want representing me. He takes too much for granted and assumes that anyone without a law degree is dimmer than he/she is and won't win a case. How wrong. I don't have a law degree (although I do know my way around the legal system better than most) and I have always done much better researching my own cases and representing myself. The problem with qualified legal services is that all the work they cover is done against the clock and there is very little time, for a low affordable fee, to sift through the case properly. They just skirt over the issues, drum up Counsel's opinion and that is about it. I, on the other hand, went through everything with a tooth comb and left no stone unturned. So, I'm afraid you mistate the facts, Mr Anonymous.
Bel you are the exception rather than the rule.The vast majority of LIPs that I have come across have been sadly clueless and have relied heavily on the judge to help them.Even those who have clearly done a lot of research fail to grasp the legal concepts that can be involved.It does not mean these persons are not intellegent enough,I have also come across numerous expert witnesses who have failed to grasp certain basic legal concepts despite having prepared many reports.Sadly the law is often complex even in small value matters.
The key point I take from this report (and article) is;
'...the stress, responsibility and loneliness of going to court without representation can mean 'litigants in person achieve worse outcomes compared with their represented counterparts'.
The above importantly doesn't mention one further critical factor.
I'm not your 'Mr Anonymous' Bel but you contribute to the lie that solicitors don't add value where that really isn't the case. A law degree isn't important but knowledge and experience really is. You can and will only get so far with google however commercially savvy and intelligent you are. How do you value your time? You're quick to criticise solicitors but the reality clearly must be that you don't value your own time at all. How many hours must you have spent toiling to get up to speed on process and law? Clearly many hours. Do you service your own car too?
If you're happy to work for nothing then fair enough but you shouldn't be critical of others who won't or can't afford to do so. What luxury. Us mere mortals took years to qualify and our experience adds value to our clients by securing better outcomes. Incidentally that's precisely the conclusion of this report and therefore back to the real issue here- in reality it shouldn't be surprising that unrepresented LIPS achieve worse outcomes because in simple terms they don't know what they're doing.
The conclusion is that all LIPS would be better off trying to obtain legal advice from qualified professionals and I'm happy to endorse that.
Sometimes it is impossible to afford a solicitor or legal representation, I do not represent myself for fun I have no choice!
I have been called a 'sophisticated litigant-in-person', whatever that means. But the stress, the pressure and demands when faced with a team of 12 strong professionally trained people against just me have seriously affected my heart and my overall health. I cannot leave, I cannot stop or I lose everything including my home and possessions.
The strain of trying to understand, research and respond are incredible, add to that the underhand tactics and despicable actions that these people will go to and it is a wonder I am still coping at all.
So articles like this make me wonder, who did they actually talk to? Not me that's for sure!

Spetznaz Ops?
No tanks needed by Putin to annex eastern Ukraine...yet.
Can you imagine what Putin would do if these were pro Ukrainian people storming Russian buildings. Oh wait......!
Phase II has begun. Putin no doubt wants a contiguous land bridge to connect Russia to Crimea. Agitation by Russophiles in eastern Ukraine is the first step. However will Putin again deploy the Russian army and force the West to impose mutually destructive sanctions? Will the Ukraine fight to defend it sovereignty or will NATO support it and risk war? Will Ukraine and Russia negotiate a debt for land swap? Should the US be involved or even care?
Cherkassk province prosecutors said Vasily Sergiyenko was abducted in his home city of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi on Friday evening and later murdered. The nationalist Svoboda party, of which Sergiyenko was a member, said the reporter was found with stab wounds and signs of beatings to his head and knees.
Oh dear, the MSM will be upset about this.
Yes,Vlad,I've ordered the 101st Airborne and the 1st Marine Division to be "flexible" as well.
Have the pro-Russians thrown any firebombs at the cops like the Obama/Soros/sodomite EU mobs did in Kiev? Has the Kiev junta ordered the police and military not to touch the pro-Russians like the rump parliament in Kiev ordered the police and military not to touch the Obama/Soros/sodomite EU firebomb throwers.
There are many who do not trust Kiev.
If Kiev won't move to a federal solution, the country will break up.
Characterization is Kremlin style book approved?
Oh come on , Russian military is tattooed on their foreheads
Looks like some old school communist agitProp....agitation and propaganda. Vlad Putin is reviving this
Spetznaz in unmarked uniforms again?
Hey! What are Agitational Specialists getting paid these days?
Russia isn't done taking over sovereign territory yet
Sad to see some cheer this on
Boy, did I just get a history lesson on Ukraine today
I have a friend who returned, got his story from where he lived, thought he would have a good grasp on things since he lives there for 12 years now
but, just chatted with a lady friend from Odessa, she sent me to soem links...
that place is all messed up
and the claims that there are Nazi sympathizers from western Ukraine? it's true, very true, people who organize themselves after Stepan Bandera, a freedom fighter from WWII, the Nazis allowed him to rabble rouse for a while, then threw him in jail, then formed SS brigades using his reputation in soem ways telling Ukrainians they would get freedom from Stalin through them
Anyways, if you read OUN UNSO, those names are from WWI, they are using the historical names of the fighters to unite today's radicals, highly anti-semitic, anti-Russian, who shot at a LOT of people recently
The whole place is corrupt more than a Tiajuana cartel with bi-polar disease

FBI Agents Provocateurs Infiltrate Oregon Protesters
Thankfully they have refrained from ham-fisted military attacks like the one that killed 76 Americans at Waco. But the behavior of the Feds during the Oregon standoff has not been exemplary:
This week, Harney County Fire Marshall Chris Briels resigned after discovering undercover FBI agents posing as militia members near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which has been the site of a standoff for weeks now. According to Briels, he found FBI agents who were impersonating militia members lurking around the town's armory. When he inquired about the undercover operation with county Judge Steve Grasty he was told to back off.
Just before this discovery was made, there were reports of people who looked like militia harassing locals, which is uncharacteristic of the protesters who initially assembled at the refuge. It turns out that these militia members suspected of harassing locals were actually undercover FBI agents.
Just what are the Feds up to?
Many activists and militia members are now suspecting that the undercover agents were planning to act as agent provocateurs and create trouble in order to frame the protesters for things that they did not do. This theory is supported by the fact these undercover agents were reportedly bothering locals and acting in a threatening manner.
However, mainstream media has reported that militia members were harassing locals, but now that version of events is being brought into question considering the fact that undercover agents were posing as militia.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Big Journalism to go back and correct the record in light of this revelation. That would undermine its partnership with Big Government.

It can't be easy to be an Arsenal fan right now—and that just might the understatement of the...what's longer than a millennium?
Let's see, where to start?
Well, the club lost—at the Emirates, mind you—3-1 to Aston Villa, who finished an awful 15th in the table last season, to start off the EPL campaign. It is absolutely riddled with injuries, most notably a very serious one to promising youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Arsene Wenger and management have failed to bring in any sort of help for the situation, signing only Yaya Sanogo, whose transfer fee was free-ninety-nine. Supporters are about ready to lead a mutiny (WARNING: video in that link contains NSFW language) against the guys in the suits. And to top it all off, Arsenal has become somewhat of a laughing stock around England.
Take this blow delivered by former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, via Index Football, as an example:
Jamie Carragher: "Arsene Wenger won't overspend on new signings.. The only people who are overspending at Arsenal, are the fans.."— Index Football (@indexfootball) August 19, 2013
Or as this astute Arsenal fan put it, "in life, you get what you pay for—unless you're an Arsenal fan."
Still, while Arsenal is apparently falling apart at the seams, there is still time to right the ship with just under two weeks remaining in the transfer window.
Will Wenger finally open the checkbook, appease the fans and add some necessary quality? Or will the summer of frustration continue to rise to unhealthy levels?
Let's take a look at the most recent transfer buzz surrounding Arsenal.
Arsene Makes a Very "Arsene" Offer for Yohan Cabaye
Oxlade-Chamberlain is out for an extended period of time, while Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta are all banged up. So, yeah, it's safe to say that it would be wise for Wenger to add some depth in the midfield.
According to Sky Sports, he has targeted Newcastle's Yohan Cabaye, who was held out of the Magpies' opener against Manchester City, to help fill that void:
Sky sources: Arsenal make bid for Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye #SSN— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 19, 2013
Just over an hour later, Sky Sports revealed that the bid was for a mere £10 million and was quickly rejected:
Sky sources: Newcastle reject Arsenal bid of around £10m for midfielder Yohan Cabaye #SSN— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 19, 2013
Cabaye isn't some world-class player who is going to solve all of Arsenal's problems, and he's probably not worth the reported £20 million that Newcastle desires according to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail.
But he is a central midfielder with lots of versatility and creativity. He can make tackles, score from outside the box—three of his six EPL goals last season, according to Squawka, came from beyond the 18—and he can create chances, per WhoScored:
Yohan Cabaye: Despite making only 26 PL apps last season, Cabaye created at least 19 more chances (53) than any other Newcastle player #NUFC— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) August 19, 2013
There was just no way that an offer of £10 million was ever going to be accepted, and Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was right to be insulted.
Gunners Looking to Bring Paul Pogba Back to the EPL?
Arsenal is reportedly interested in another French midfielder, as former Manchester United and current Juventus youngster Paul Pogba has entered the radar, according to Goal.com's Twitter account and Sky Sports' Graeme Bailey:
Arsenal launch audacious bid for Paul Pogba, according to reports. Check out the latest rumours here: http://t.co/Fed7F6y4ic #afc— Goal UK (@GoalUK) August 19, 2013
Whilst Geoffrey Kondogbia remains a firm option for Arsenal, we understand they have enquired about Juventus' Paul Pogba.— Graeme Bailey (@GraemeBailey) August 19, 2013
Unless Wenger enjoys being rejected, which might actually be true at this point, I would take this rumour with a massive grain of salt, because the odds of Pogba leaving the Serie A squad are somewhere between slim and none.
The 20-year-old had a successful debut season with Juventus last year, he scored, assisted and looked quite spectacular against Lazio in the Super Cup on Sunday, and manager Antonio Conte is documented as a gargantuan fan of the youngster.
Carry on.
Arsenal Going After Swansea Pair
According to James Olley at the London Evening Standard, Arsenal is set to make a bid for Swansea City's Michu and Ashley Williams:
Arsenal are weighing up a £35million double raid on Swansea for striker Michu and defender Ashley Williams as the club look to respond to mounting criticism over their lack of signings.
The report believes that £25 million would be for Michu and £10 million would be for Ashley Williams.
It's certainly an intriguing proposal.
After scoring 15 La Liga goals with Rayo Vallecano, Michu continued that success last season with Swansea, scoring 18 times in 35 Premier League appearances.
There are certainly concerns, though. The Spaniard tailed off near the end of the campaign, and he was far more dangerous playing behind a striker rather than as the lone option up front.
How many players will Arsenal sign in the next two weeks?
Nevertheless, his production, versatility and ability to play in small spaces in the middle of the pitch—as lots of Arsenal's talent is on the wings—are alluring traits.
Williams, meanwhile, would give Arsenal some important depth in the back.
Is the duo worth £35 million? Certainly not, but a purchase like this could at least inject some life into the franchise will improving the quality on the pitch.
Alas, this comes just a couple of days after Swansea manager Michael Laudrup said the two weren't for sale. Perhaps a bid of this magnitude will change his mind, but it's hard to put too much stock in this rumour with Michu and Williams so crucial to Swansea and so little time in the transfer window to replace them.

This year's fair was whittled down from 400 in the past two years, as its organizers strove to improve the quality of the booths and the exhibitors and include more international vendors. While there was still something of a flea-market feel, it was much less than it used to be—and the fair remains a favorite of many American decorators, because of its variety and quirkiness.
"We are pleased to be at Olympia, where we have space to breathe and show large-scale pieces of furniture," says Dennis Harrington of Pelham Galleries, a first-time exhibitor. (Pelham dropped out of the concurrent Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair because it was planning to exhibit on David Lesters floating expo center, SeaFair, which was to launch in June but was postponed until late September.) Pelham's booth—designed as a neo-classical pavilion after a drawing by Sir William Chambers, the official architect to King George III—was given pride of place at the front of the center aisles, where the most spectacular and fancifully designed booths are found.
Koopman Rare Art, who exhibited at both Grosvenor House and Olympia, had room in its booth to show an enormous Victorian silver four-handed vase made by Edward Barnard & Sons in London in 1855. The vase, which was too large for the Grosvenor House stand, measured 42 inches in height and weighed 121 pounds. "It's the largest piece of Victorian silver to come on the market in 20 years," said Timo Koopman. Priced at £1 million, the vase had not yet sold at this writing, but it had attracted the interest of decorators and institutions, according to Koopman, who pointed out that at the time the vase was made it cost £933, "twice as much as a house in Mayfair."
One of the most expensive works sold was on the stand of Butchoff Antiques: an Adam Revival-style Wedgwood writing table made by Wright & Mansfield for Brook House on Park Lane in London. Commissioned in the 1870s by Sir Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, the first baron of Tweedmouth, the table contains 67 signed and named, black basalt Wedgwood plaques of emperors and philosophers set in cartouches. It sold in the vicinity of £250,000.
Vanderven & Vanderven Oriental Art sold five Tang horses, one sancai glazed and the others unglazed, all for five figure prices.
Meanwhile, Geoffrey Breeze, who showed antique canes and umbrellas, sold a rosewood cane with a silver handle that belonged to Winston Churchill to a dealer from New Orleans for £12,000.
Joanna Booth, a dealer in European sculpture, tapestries, and Old Master drawings, sold a 17th-century Flemish cupboard bed for £7,800 to an American who bought it as a gift for his daughter.
And in perhaps the strangest sale of the fair, a buyer paid £1,000 to dealer Frank Wilson for an 1840 Continental satinwood box to hold the buyer's ashes after his death.
Attendance at the fair overall seemed sparse during the times I was there, especially on the upper level, but the fair's organizers said the numbers were up from last year and that they expected 30,000 to have attended by the fair's end. Many exhibitors would likely agree with Fleur Van Gelder of Van Gelder Indian Jewellery, who said: "We don't need thousands, only the five best." For the second year, the Van Gelder booth was a bright, beautiful Indian pink, echoing the late Diana Vreelands dictum that "pink is the navy blue of India."
As Olympia goes steadily forward, it must eventually confront the rivalry with Grosvenor House, which opened in London on June 14 and overlapped this past weekend. Thomas Woodham-Smith, a director of Mallett, which also shows at Grosvenor, wonders about the future of two London fairs competing for the same clients at the same time. "The Olympia Fair lacks the grandeur and history of Grosvenor House," he said, "but it has the space."

The Globo Regatta was held on a Saturday, Sept. 10th. It is not only the lift off of the beautiful globos but also the lift off of the Independence Day celebrations that last all week. Something interesting is happening day and night until the day after Sept. 16th. Below is the photo of the globo that AccessLakeChapala sponsored with the "Si Lupita" team. It was successful and flew high into the sky.
The online calendar had the starting time of the globos at three in the afternoon. I knew from several years of watching them that they did not get started until two or three hours later. This time I did not go at three and sit in the bleachers for several hours, waiting and waiting. I went later and timed it perfectly. (more…)

Palm Sunday this year was on the 20th of March. It will be an early Easter. There were many things going on at the Ajijic Plaza on that afternoon and evening. A Verbena Event, which is a food event where all the food is traditional Mexican food prepared without electricity or any synthetic materials, served on baro plates. These plates are made out of red clay. And then later on in the evening there was the procession of Jesus coming into town riding on a donkey.
Some of the food: Tacos, Sopes, Enchiladas, Pozole, Tamales, Fruit water, rice pudding, and many other delicious dishes. The man in the photo below is showing me his meal. Also, I wanted to get a photo of the woman standing behind him with the beautiful Palm icons and flowers. (more…)

The Fat Tuesday parade, otherwise knows as the Mardi Gras parade, always starts with the running of the boys. What are they running from? The people behind them throwing flour at them. By the time the parade is over, the entire town is engulfed in flour. For ten days before the Fat Tuesday parade, there are smaller parades in town. Just about anytime you walk into town during these ten days, you are likely to run into a parade and a face full of flour. Great fun.
The photo below is of the next group, carrying flour in all kinds of containers. Some of these people are men dressed like women. Some are women dressed like men, some, well I have no idea who or what they are dressed like and I didn't want to get close enough to take their photographs because I didn't want my camera or myself to get floured.

There are thousands of reasons to take a vacation and even more than that when deciding on places to go. Well on a recent trip I think I discovered a small piece of heaven. It's called Ajijic, Mexico. A small city of 15,000 people, about 45 minutes by car from the airport in Guadalajara, and about 3 blocks from Lake Chapala. We decided to stay for the week at Casa del Sol, a very lovely bed and breakfast some 10 minutes walk from the center square in town. After taking the first day to rest from the flight and getting our bearings we ventured out and made our first friends a couple of streets over from our B&B.
For sure it was a sign of the relaxing trip we were hoping for. It takes a little getting used to the cobble stone streets, especially when it rains, but its just another feel of the culture and history of this historic Mexican area. Many of the shops feature the homemade styles of the area for every buying whim from pottery to blankets and so much more. (more…)

The New Year's Day parade was fun. I went into town around nine in the morning. I thought the parade started in the morning but it didn't start until two in the afternoon. The town was practically deserted in the morning until around noon and then it got crowded. There was more traffic here than I had ever seen. Traffic was at a standstill. Lots of people were waiting for the parade too.
I loved the bird float. That took a lot of work and time to make. Check out the detail of the wings. (more…)

I walked into town in Christmas Eve to be part of all the activities and take photos of the Crèches at the church. Surprise, surprise. Very little action was taking place in the plaza this year and there were only four live crèches. Last year the church yard was filled with crèches and the plaza was very busy. We have had weeks of excitement here, including parades and fireworks going off every evening. I have no explanation for the quiet Christmas Eve. I hope you enjoy what I managed to photograph. I apologize that my camera does not take good night photos.
Decorations inside and outside of the church were lovely. Inside of the church there were bouquets of live flowers all along on the tables. Outside were the crèches. Sawdust images on the ground, Christmas trees and many lights. It was very peaceful to walk around in the church yard. (more…)

Mexican Revolution Day was November 16th but the parade and other celebrations didn't happen until the following weekend. On Monday, the legal holiday, many places of business were closed. But the celebrations didn't begin until the parade on Friday the 20th. The Mexican Constitution dates back to 1917. When you think about it, that was not very long ago. Not even a hundred years. When people in my generation were growing up, in their 70s, their parents probably remembered living through it.
I love the above photo. The father and sons look so happy to be included in the parade. They do not look to me like Mexicans. The Mexicans are generally very inclusive people and they welcome outsiders. Can you imagine a president being in office for 35 years? I would call that a dictatorship. That was Porfirio Diaz.

The Day of the Dead is a big Holiday in Mexico. Some people say that Mexicans don't celebrate Halloween. Tell that to the little girl in the photo below. She was all ready to go trick or treating in the evening. Just like in the United States, parents take their children out trick or treating to the expensive neighborhoods. I bought enough candy for a hundred children. Only five children knocked on my door. The same ones kept returning.
I live in a Mexican neighborhood with small homes. What they did in my street is to close it off to traffic, string up balloons and put out tables and chairs and have a party for everyone living on the street. My friend and I took out all our candy and gave it to the children. After we went back home, two young men knocked on my door and handed us two bowls of pazole. (more…)

Easter came early this year. The holidays started with the Globos celebration which is just before Ash Wednesday, through March 29th Palm Sunday, April 2nd Maundy (Holy) Thursday April 3rd Good Friday and finally April 5th which was Easter Sunday. But the Easter holiday continues for at least one more week. All beach towns and tourist towns in Mexico are packed to the gills during this time of the year. Since Ajijic is a tourist town, we were also very crowded. It is always a lot of fun with all the new people in town.
The restaurants are crowded. The malecon is crowded. The plaza is crowded and there are many different celebrations happening almost on a daily basis. Above is a photo of the Easter eggs that are sold in the plaza. Someone has taken the time to cut open the top and fill each one with confetti. Then the children throw the eggs at each other, dogs, and anything else that moves nearby. Keep your eyes open. You too may end up as a target. (more…)

The 37th Annual Mexican Chili Cook-Off was a great success. It started on Friday, February 27th and went through Sunday. It ended at five p.m. on Sunday, March 1st. It was held at the Tobolandia water park. This year the parade was very small. The Shriners were in it and the tour bus from Chapala. Instead of starting at six corners as it did on previous years, it started by the bank up on the Carretera. What was the reason for such a small parade? I was told that Lent was the reason. The priest at the six corners Catholic church did not like having a parade during lent. So it was cut back to just the Shriners and the tour bus. Usually Lent is after the Chili Cook-Off so it wasn't a problem. But don't worry, a small parade did not mean small pleasures for the Chili Cook-Off visitors. Tobolandia was jumping with excitement! Below is a photo of the Shriners as they arrived in the parking lot at Tobolandia.
The Chili Cook-Off is the biggest fund raising event of the year here. Proceeds from it go to eight local charities. I will list them later on in this article. Last year the Cook-Off raised 36,550 pesos for each of the charities. This year they are hoping for more. (more…)
