Local man puts time, attention, heart into crafting wooden ship models May 26, Using only model plans — no pre-fabricated kit for him — Bullock prepares to spend an average of about 2, hours on a single model ship. That would be nearly three months working 24 hours a day straight, but he works in shifts of two hours or so at a time, taking as long as two years to finish a model.
He keeps computer records of all of the hours he spends working on a particular model. This shop is my place of peace. Bullock has restored damaged model ships for others, but he does not sell his models, nor does he accept commissions for construction. His ships belong to his children and grandchildren, he said.
In his woodworking shop behind his house, Bullock takes wooden boards and begins the process, which involves carefully carving all of intricate pieces that help define the authenticity of the models.
He retired nearly 20 years ago from a career in engineering, and later in human resources. His love of woodworking led to an interest in model shipbuilding.
He also founded, then later sold, Regal Poker Tables, which he described as a high-end product for poker players. He kept one table for himself, which he and his friends use every Tuesday night. Bullock graduated from Lumberton High School in , so several years ago, as a former Pirate, he built his largest ship ever, and dedicated it to Tunney Brooks, a longtime coach and athletics director at the high school.
I have one at my house on a smaller scale. It is very meticulously made and made with affection. I certainly appreciated the honor he did me and I know Mr. Brooks did before he passed. He appreciated that the ship had been made in his honor. We were just very pleased that one of our former athletes would think enough of the school to build these ships. Of his model the HMS Victory, Bullock said he invested about 1, hours just in the hand carvings, which he performs with scalpels.
To our knowledge, there are probably less than five ship modelers in the world that have ever built this ship from scratch. Bullock said he is often asked how many pieces go into a single model, and explains that the answer is not easy. He pointed to the model Ship of the Land, a 17th century British vessel. Bullock said he would like to start a class for people who are interested in building model ships.

Rappers becoming fixtures on food scene April 07, Earlier this month, Miami rapper Rick Ross tapped Stewart to announce the debut of his new album on Twitter. Marketing experts say Stewart and the Food Network, which sponsors the South Beach festival, are using the partnerships to stay fresh and relevant.
Some artists were busy in the kitchen long before they started making music. Before bursting onto the music scene with the group Public Enemy, he went to cooking school and says he once was the head chef at the Nassau County Courthouse in New York. Rockhouse Las Vegas is currently featuring his grub and he said he hopes to another restaurant. Action Bronson often rhymes in culinary speak. They have to hear it, whereas food is a choice. Soul food December 16, The secret is in the technique — she says making the treats by hand is what makes them just a little bit sweeter.
The farm grows licorice and lemon-flavored herbs, red hot cayenne peppers, and bushel upon bushel of blackberries — all ingredients that Locklear uses to make her jams and jellies. Locklear grew up on a farm in a military family, so marrying her husband and moving to New Ground Farm was not too much of an adjustment.
But Locklear began to notice a change in her youngest son, Elijah. With her and her husband working long hours, Elijah was staying at school for 10 hours a day or more. After talking to her husband, Locklear decided to become a stay-at-home mom so she could encourage Elijah and help him with his school work when he got home. Her mother-in-law, who also lived on the farm, was diagnosed with cancer. Locklear took care of her for months until she died. Locklear felt empty — like she needed something to do and someone to care for.
After substitute teaching for some of the local schools, Locklear said that she sat at the central office of the Public Schools of Robeson County for three days and demanded that they find a position for her.
