Turned oak priests from reclaimed whiskey barrel wood. These have a lead filling to add weight, the hole on the end is then closed over with a coin.
The inside of these barrels had a burnt finish which when waxed gives a lovely dark finish to one side of the item.
Priests are drilled to accept a leather lanyard.Since 2007, the English Wikipedia page of Craterus has received more than 154,298 page views.

I built a machine to turn WiFi signals into sounds, so I can play the city by walking. Hear some excerpts, plus:
- A count-down of all Leipzig tram stops, as ranked on Google, with selected reviews (Thanks, Lisa!)
- A stroll through Los Santos
- Helpful directions. Considering that people listen to this station in their cars, this might be my dumbest/favorite audio joke so far.
Links & Notes
- I had a feeling that I might not be the first one to sonify WiFi signals. Artist Jasmine Guffond was way ahead (plus, check out those beats!)

Contributed Photo A group of volunteers pose for a picture after doing work at Douglas Park earlier this year.
Contributed Photo Members of Elizabethton’s Grace Baptist Church painted the fencing at the front entrance of the Covered Bridge in 2021.
Contributed Photo In 2021 Elizabethton’s Grace Baptist Church members planted several shrubs and mulched around the stage area at the park.
Elizabethton is proud to be known as the historical site of the first independent American government west of both the Eastern Continental Divide and the original Thirteen Colonies.
However, being independent is not always a preferred state. That’s why some Elizabethton officials hope to encourage citizens to show their eager faces around town to help keep the city freshly groomed and welcoming for citizens and visitors alike.
To do this, officials need volunteers. And they need them for all kinds of projects in all kinds of weather and at all times of the year.
He added that those who seek to give back to their community serve an important mission — making a difference in the lives of Elizabethton’s citizens.
“We must continue to improve the quality of life for all, and in doing so, we will continue to grow this department, which creates additional opportunities to serve,” he said.
Mains said citizens can help in many different ways, especially since the department is growing so fast. “We have done everything possible to continue to add programs and events that will provide families with free opportunities to enjoy outdoor concerts, holiday events, parties in the parks and free outdoor movie nights,” he said.
“We are here to make a difference, but we do need help. We’ve been blessed to have had great support from our city council and local businesses who sponsor many of our programs and events, but as we continue to grow, we do need volunteers to help.
Mains said he believes everyone has a purpose in life and that God provides opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others. “Our department has that platform to help do just that and would like to share that with others,” he said. “Partnering with our Parks and Recreation Department by volunteering will provide an opportunity to serve those in our community who may need an activity or event that would bring happiness to their lives.
The department asks for volunteers who would like to help with minor projects, such as landscaping, park cleaning and event service. Volunteers can also join the “Friends of the Park Program, where, throughout the year, the department puts on multiple events and needs help with set up/tear down, inflatables monitoring and dressing up in costumes, for example.
“We are looking for individuals who have a strong connection to their community and benefiting from the rewards of giving back to those who live here,” said Program and Special Events Coordinator Kelly Kitchens in a July press release. “Parks and Recreation strives to provide free entertainment as much as we are able, but without hands to help work, those opportunities just simply aren’t possible. In order to ensure Parks and Recreation’s services can not only continue, but grow, volunteer help is vital.
The department also conducts beautification projects to plant flowers and trees, trim bushes or pick up trash. In the past, high school students looking for volunteer hours for scholarships have helped, as well as.
Bean burger recipe
Here are two recipes: one for an easy vegetarian brioche bun (here is a vegan version), another for a vegan or vegetarian bean burger.
I know making the burger buns yourself sounds like a pfaff, but it's worth it. Store the buns you don't eat straight away in the freezer.
If you aren't vegan there are probably a couple of unfamiliar ingredients here. A vegan 'egg' is a binder that behaves in a similar way to normal egg. You make it by soaking 1 tbsp of ground linseed with 3 tbsp of water. Nutritional yeast is the vegans' answer to parmesan cheese. It's full of B vitamins and can be bought now in most supermarkets or health food shops. Tasty stuff - like dried Marmite.
For the buns:
250ml warm water
2 tbsp fast action yeast
2 tbsp sugar/honey or malt extract
80g melted butter
4 tbsp milk powder
1 egg
450g flour (half plain, half strong)
1 tbsp sea salt
Egg for washing
3 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix the water, yeast and sweetener together. Leave for 5 minutes.
- Add the melted butter, milk powder and egg. Next add the flour and salt.
- Stir then knead until you have a sticky dough that you can handle. Or, using a dough hook, mix on speed 2 of your stand mixer for 10 minutes.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Form round patties and spread them out on the baking sheet.
- Brush with the egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on a rack. You can split them and eat them as they are, or, for a burger, they are best split and toasted.
For the burgers:
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbsp olive oil
80g breadcrumbs
400g cooked beans or 1 tin of beans
1 egg (or 2 vegan 'eggs')
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tbsp English mustard
Juice 1/2 lemon
A bunch of parsley, stems discarded, chopped finely
Sea salt and black pepper for seasoning
Olive oil for frying
- Fry the onion and garlic in the olive oil.
- Remove from the heat and mix with the rest of the
