As a dog trainer, spring is often my busiest time of year. I see lots of dogs who have been kept inside all winter and have developed behavior issues because of under-met exercise and socialization needs. A dog's exercise needs remain consistent year-round; when these needs are met with inconsistent opportunities to exercise, behavior problems often occur. Lack of exercise can cause various issues, including hyperactive greetings, chewing on valuable items, raiding the garbage, and increased anxiety and aggression. If a dog is predisposed to aggression, the increased anxiety from lack of exercise can exacerbate the problem.
Like people, dogs get cabin fever of sorts and go stir crazy when kept inside. But when the weather is uninviting, it's easy to slack on your dog's regular exercise routine. To prevent your dog from becoming one of my clients, keep him appropriately entertained this winter even when daily walks aren't possible. My rule of thumb is to provide your dog with at least two interactive activities per day along with several socialization opportunities throughout the week. Before you decide that this sounds like too much work, read on — these requirements are not only easy to meet, they're fun as well!
Here are five simple ways to meet your dog's exercise needs, even in the worst weather conditions.
Vary the games you play and regularly rotate toys to keep your dog interested. Tug can be an excellent game for teaching self-control when played with the proper rules. Fetch can be done inside using soft toys. Increase the fetch challenge by tossing the toy up stairs with carpeting or runners to prevent slipping. For dogs that like to chase, attach a stuffed animal to the end of a rope to simulate a predatory chase. More rambunctious or large dogs can be exercised safely in open areas, such as a basement or garage with the car pulled out.
Dogs are scavengers by nature, meaning they are programmed to spend many of their waking hours in search of food. Use this to your advantage by getting your dog hunting for his meals with a few inventive practices. Instead of a food bowl, feed your dog kibble out of a food puzzle (a hollow toy with openings for kibble to fall out). For a long-lasting challenge, stuff a hollow toy, like a Kong, with canned dog food and freeze. Exercise your dog by tossing a treat piece by piece across the room and telling him to "find it," so he can chase after it and hunt it out with his nose.

Quarterback carousel
With senior Bobby Eveld and redshirt sophomore Matt Floyd already on the roster, Taggart thought highly enough of sophomore Steven Bench to give him a scholarship after Bench was granted release from his Penn State scholarship April 24.
Bench received interest from Mississippi State, North Carolina State and USF following his departure from Penn State, but said he chose USF because he was told the quarterback position was an open competition.
If Taggart didn't envision Bench as a potential starting quarterback this season, he wouldn't have further complicated his decision on a starter by throwing Bench into the mix so soon.
Taggart said on multiple occasions Bench was behind Eveld and Floyd in knowledge of the offensive system, which is completely understandable — both quarterbacks have studied the system since January, while Bench didn't hit campus until May.
But if Taggart wasn't confident in Bench yet, he could have redshirted him this season to give the transfer a full year to learn the offense.
The fact Taggart inserted Bench for a series against Michigan State on Sept. 7 and offensive coordinator Walt Wells said Sept. 10 that Bench will continue to see action, shows an inclination within the coaching staff to give Bench an opportunity to play.
"We like his ability to move and create in space," Wells said. "He's got good speed and can move around in the pocket, which gives you some (offensive) opportunities. He doesn't lack confidence and kind of breathes that into our guys."
Even though he's behind Floyd and Eveld by five or six months in knowledge of the offense, this plan of action shows a clear desire to build toward a full-fledged Bench era.
Sure enough, after Eveld collided with senior running back Marcus Shaw against FAU early in Saturday's game, Taggart gave Bench his second opportunity and that progressive plan of action may have been thrown away.
Bench led the Bulls to a field goal on his first drive, then after the Bulls intercepted the Owls, Bench hit senior fullback Ryan Eppes for his first touchdown pass.
On his third drive running the offense, Bench was at the helm of the Bulls' march down the field on an 11-play, 69-yard drive, until it stalled at the goal line on consecutive rushing attempts.
Following Bench's strong start, the Owl defense adjusted and the Bulls didn't near the end zone again, but as the coaching staff learns Bench's abilities better and Bench learns his teammates' strengths and the offense better, Bench will give USF the best chance for continued
Bobby Eveld/Matt Floyd
By Adam Fenster, SPORTS EDITOR
There's a theme here on Taggart's team, at least at quarterback, and it's if a guy is having an off night, his spot at the top of the depth chart is as good as gone.
Throughout the offseason, it was senior Bobby Eveld and redshirt sophomore Matt Floyd as the frontrunners to take snaps, leaving freshman Mike White and redshirt freshman Tommy Eveld as the backups.
Then there was sophomore transfer Steven Bench, who debuted in a series against Michigan State, and played over three quarters against FAU.
Three games in and the quarterback position seems like a game of musical chairs — or musical snaps in this case — and USF coach Willie Taggart is in a tough situation in deciding who the quarterback should be.
While it looks like Bench could be the starter going against Miami on Sept. 28, pulling the plug on Floyd and Eveld may be too hasty of a decision.
What Eveld holds over Bench and Floyd is something that neither can match — his experience.
As a walk-on in 2010, Eveld came in to play behind B.J. Daniels. As the backup, Eveld showed some spark at times leading the Bulls on big drives, but never proved his dominance. His total of five touchdowns with eight interceptions over the past three years speaks to that. 12

Houston rapper Big Moe, 33, of the late DJ Screw's Screwed Up Click, passed away while at the Ben Taub Hospital in H-Town on Sunday afternoon (October 14). According to the Associated Press, Big Moe, whose real name was Kenneth Moore, had been admitted to the hospital over a week ago for an unspecified ailment. Although a spokesman for the county hospital system did not disclose a cause of death, rumors have circulated over the past week that Moe suffered from a heart attack, possibly brought on by his affinity for "syrup." The popular drink, also known as "drank" or "lean," is a popular concoction that includes codeine or promethazine laced cough syrup. "He was a great influence to the music community here in Houston," Swishahouse Records founder Michael "5000″ Watts told the AP. "He was a good person and one of the founding fathers of the music movement here." DJ Screw, founder of the Screwed Up Click and an early proponent of the "syrup" movement, died of a heart attack in 2002.

MONTEREY, Calif. — Eric Tarantino wasn't thinking he was going to get bitten by a great white.Dawn patrol, the surf was up, and the 29-year-old was paddling for a wave in the early morning light on Oct. 29, 2011, at Marina State Beach just north of Monterey.Then something hit him like a truck."I didn't see it, I didn't hear it, I didn't have any idea. That first hit, it's so powerful. It's disorienting, but you know what's happening."This was not a tentative exploration. This great white had made up its mind that Tarantino was on the menu for the day.The shark, estimated at 16 to 17 feet in length, impaled Tarantino's red surfboard with the sharp pointy teeth of its lower jaw while the serrated teeth of its upper jaw closed on his shoulder and head, striking a glancing blow to his face and neck, then settling on his arm.It then dove down, deep and fast, carrying him toward the bottom.Tarantino opened his eyes. "It was quiet, and I couldn't hear anything. I was just conscious of myself being pulled. I didn't see a single fin on it. I didn't see its white underbelly. All I saw, when I saw it, was gray, like a wall."He kicked at the shark. The sides felt like cement. It either released him, or his arm popped free. He found his board and paddled ashore with his surfing partner, Brandon McKibben, of Salinas, his arm pumping blood into the water."I knew I was hurt, but I couldn't feel any pain."He thought if he could just get to the parking lot, he'd be OK. He noticed suddenly a lot of people were on the beach."They helped me so much," he said. One man who applied a tourniquet to his arm knew what to do because he had survived a great white shark attack himself.

As Chair of the Legislative Women's Caucus, I urge all Californians to take a moment to acknowledge Women's Equality Day. Today, we recognize how far we've come, and the work that remains. Let's all join together in the fight for full equality. If you need a little inspiration for the battle, check out our Legislative Women's Caucus page and Assemblymember Shirley Weber's inspirational remarks:
AJR 53 urges federal action to fund freight infrastructure projects
SACRAMENTO – Led by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) and Assemblymember Anthony Rendon (D- Lakewood), the Legislature has passed Assembly Joint Resolution 53, urging Congress and President Obama to support the National Freight Network Trust Fund Act of 2014. The Act provides a dedicated federal funding source for freight-related transportation project.
"We're home to the largest port complex in the nation and we absolutely need to invest in our freight infrastructure if we're going to remain a leader in the global economy," said Lowenthal, Chair of the Assembly Committee on Transportation and the Select Committee on Ports. "HR 5101 means solid jobs, green technology, and reduced congestion for all of us."
AB 2186 streamlines treatment for individuals in county jails and state hospitals.
SACRAMENTO – Today, the Legislature passed AB 2186 by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), which streamlines the treatment process for defendants that are incompetent to stand trial. The bill ensures medication continuity between state hospitals and county jails.
"Our state hospitals and county jails are treating some of our most seriously mentally ill, but they're working with a system that has some significant flaws," said Lowenthal. "AB 2186 eliminates the gaps in medication that all too often put a defendant's mental health at risk and result in higher costs for our hospitals and courts.
AB 2395 increases the Oxnard Harbor District's borrowing authority to improve infrastructure and capacity.
SACRAMENTO – Today, Governor Brown signed AB 2395 by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) into law. AB 2395 increases the Oxnard Harbor District's borrowing authority from the current $1 million cap to $10 million, but retains key accountability standards, including a two-thirds vote by the district's Board of Harbor Commissioners for any new borrowing.
"A lot has changed since 1984, and our ports need to be able to compete in the global economy," said Lowenthal, chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee and the Select Committee on Ports. "By modernizing the financing ability for Port Hueneme, they'll be able to take on some significant infrastructure upgrades, create jobs, and increase local revenue."
AB 1552 extends the critical program for seniors and people with disabilities
SACRAMENTO – The Legislature has unanimously passed a bill by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, to extend the adult day health care program serving thousands of frail seniors and adults with disabilities beyond the expiration of its current federal waiver.
"California's adult day health care centers are critical to keeping some of our most vulnerable residents in their own homes at a fraction of the cost of a nursing home," said Lowenthal. "The broad bipartisan support for this bill sends a clear message that this is a program worth preserving."
AB 1787 requires major airports to accommodate nursing mothers
SACRAMENTO – The Legislature has passed a bill by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, to support nursing mothers with broad, bipartisan support today. AB 1787 requires all major airports in California to provide clean, private space for mothers to express breastmilk.
"This isn't just a women's issue, and today's workplace isn't limited to just a single office," said Lowenthal, chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee and the Legislative Women's Caucus. "With our global economy, more California moms are traveling as part of their jobs, and this bill helps them balance their commitment to breastfeeding their children with the demands of their careers."
AB 2545 helps survivors of military sexual assault access assistance and services
SACRAMENTO – Today, the Assembly sent AB 2545 by Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, to the Governor on a vote of 78-0. The bill allows victims of military sexual assault to use a letter from a sexual assault counselor or licensed therapist as part of the evidence used to support a claim for restitution with the California Victim's Compensation Program.
"Victims of military sexual assault face the same barriers to accessing help as victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, and yet state law puts them at a distinct disadvantage," said Lowenthal, chair of the Legislative Women's Caucus. "By allowing victims to use a report from a counselor instead of a police report when they apply for aid, we can take some of the fear of reprisal out of the equation and get survivors the help they need."

Budget package includes $1.2 billion investment in infrastructure, as well as cap and trade revenues for sustainable communities.
SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, praised the Legislature's commitment to improving infrastructure statewide with a $1.2 billion investment in the 2014-15 Budget, $400 million more than what was proposed by the Governor. The budget also includes the framework for investing cap and trade revenues in key projects focused on sustainability and greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Marcus Benard Enjoys Taking on 'Small Man Complex' in New Role as Interior Pass Rusher
FOXBORO, Mass. — It didn't take long for Marcus Benard to rise up the depth chart with the Patriots.

Marcus Benard Says He Thinks 'Kill' When Put in 1-on-1 Pass-Rush Drills, Starts Smelling Quarterbacks

Stelian Tanase, still interim head of TVR
The plenum of the Parliament passed Tuesday evening, with an overwhelming majority (327 votes
to 14) the list with the titular and interim members of the Board of Administrators (CA) of TVR,
but the vote for the chairman of the Board was not held anymore.
The chairman of the meeting, Miron Mitrea announced that the chairman of the CA of TVR will not be elected Tuesday and the interim chairman will hold this office until the moment when the procedure will take place. Under legal provisions, CA of TVR comprises 13 people, designate by vote of the majority of deputies and senators, in joint session of the two House. Following the vote passed Tuesday evening, the new members of the TVR Board are: Stelian Tanase and Andrei Muraru – PNL, Claudiu Branzan and Catalin Plebea – PSD, Radu Carp – PDL, Adrian Bucur – PC, Eduard Dumitrascu – PPDD, Romina Surugiu – Presidency, Debreczeni Hajnalka -UDMR, Corneliu Calota – Government and Raico Cornea – minorities. Two more members of the VA of TVR should represent the employees of the institution.
CA is the body that will propose the president general director of TVR, who also needs to be voted by the plenum of the Parliament. The name that is credited with most chances is that of Stelian Tanase, the acting interim director of TVR. "Romania Libera" wrote yesterday that, by accepting Tanase as head of TVR, PM Victor Ponta would "hit two birds with one stone," as he would thus prove his openness for the restoration of the Social Liberal Union (USL) and also will have at the top of the institution someone who depends on the government, in the context of the problematic financial situation of the public television. Speculation or not, Stelian Tanase said during hearing with the committees of Culture, that the public television is in big trouble, with debts that amount to EUR 159 M. "The public television was outperformed by its rivals, it was brought in a difficult situation even in regard to the law," Tanase mentioned, adding that from 100 pc its audience collapsed to under 1 pc. Tanase added that a reason of this collapse is the loss of credibility, because of the idea that the change of the formula in Parliament will also determine a modification of the editorial policy.
Stelian Tanase was appointed interim general director of TVR by the Parliament at the end of last year. The former Board of TVR, led by the ex-president general director of the public television Claudiu Saftoiu, was dismissed on 10 December 2013 by the Parliament, which rejected the activity report of SRTv for 2012.
The radio-TV tax could be optional
The radio-TV tax could be paid only by those who still want to use the services of the public radio and television, under a draft law initiated by a group of PPDD deputies, which passed Tuesday by tacit procedure in the Chamber of Deputies, "after the deadline for debate and final vote have been missed." According to the justification note, "the present law that imposes a mandatory radio-TV tax paid via the provider of electricity is against the Constitution, as it infringes other laws in effect, and is also unjust and discriminatory both for beneficiaries and for private operators."
The initiators of the law claim that the acting legislation imposes double taxation upon those who are under contract with a provider of radio-TV broadcasts, through the electricity invoice and through the contract with a cable TV operator. They stressed that the level of taxes, the way they are paid, the exemptions from payment and the delay penalties will be established by the government. The deadline for debating the draft law in the Chamber of Deputies was March 27 and the Senate had the final say in the matter.
On the other hand, the management of TVR said that the public television charges the smallest tax (some EUR 11 a year), compared to the other European countries. In these conditions, the TV tax should increase in line with the inflation rate. Recently, Premier Victor Ponta stated that the TV tax is obsolete and could be cancelled, similarly to a move that has been discussed in the United Kingdom for several months.

Best of 2014 Part 1a: Novels
This post is coming in at a slightly later time than I'd prefer, about two weeks late at least, but I guess I can't really "complain" when the lateness is due to my own wedding which took place exactly two weeks ago on the 5th. It has certainly been a very busy and intense time, what with being engrossed in all the marriage stuff and then even after that there's been one thing after another. Reading time has definitely suffered greatly, which makes me a little sad considering how much I love reading, but eh, all for a good cause really.
With half the year now over, it is time to do the first of my "Best of the Year" posts, for the period 1st January to 30th June. There's been a ton of books that I've read in this period as usual, and I made a very strong effort to read more tie-in fiction than I usually do, so the list is most assuredly going to reflect that. Tie-in fiction is a very important part of the publishing industry I feel and it always deserves some recognition. Now if we could only get an award started that celebrated tie-in fiction and all would be alright with the world. Or so my thinking goes.
Let's see what makes the cut and which comes close then!
25 Series I Want To Read in 2014
Last year, I blogged over at The Founding Fields about 25 book series from various genres, science fiction, fantasy, urban fantasy, space opera, etc that I wanted to read in 2013. The intention behind that particular reading challenge was to read a broad variety of some of the most popular names in those genres as well as to try out several new authors and revisit some favourite classics. While I wasn't as successful in the challenge as I might like, I've made it a new year resolution to make sure that I do indeed repeat the challenge in 2014 with new books, new authors, and finish it this time.
To that effect, here are the 25 book series I've picked for this reading challenge for this year. You can see the previous list for 2013 here.
Best of 2013 Part 2a: Books
Since 2013 is now over, its time to do my second "Best of the Best" list, for the second half of the year from July-December. There were some really good reads in this period, and as always, picking the best has been a chore. I always try to keep these lists as diverse as I can and hopefully you agree.
You can check out my top-of-the-month lists on my Reading Awards page and this list is both an extension, and a continuation of what goes on there.
Let's see what makes the cut and which comes close then! Read the rest of this entry
12 Days of Best SFF Characters of 2013: Day #6
For this new seasonal list of the best SFF characters I've read this year, my sixth pick is Eli Monpress, from Rachel Aaron's novel series of the same name. I read the second novel in the series, The Spirit Rebellion, earlier this year and it proved to be just as entertaining as I had expected to be, and it was a great follow-up from the first novel, The Spirit Thief.
Hit the break to see why I picked this character.
12 Days of Best Covers of 2013: Day #11
The eleventh pick for the "12 Days of Best Covers of 2013″ list is the cover for author Rachel Aaron's latest release, Fortune's Pawn, the first in her new Paradox space opera series, written under the pseudonym Rachel Bach to help differentiate from her epic fantasy series Eli Monpress, all of them published by Orbit Books. Sure, I'm a huge fan of Rachel's books, and the covers for her novels have been quite good, whether the old covers or the new ones. Having read Fortune's Pawn a few weeks ago, I can say with confidence that it is most definitely one of the best SF novels I've read in the last three years, right up there with the best of the best.
The eleventh comic cover that I pick is Andrea Sorrentino and Marcelo Maiolo's cover for Green Arrow #25, written by Jeff Lemire and drawn by Andrea Sorrentino. I credit CW's Arrow and fellow TFF reviewer Bane of Kings for getting me interested enough in this title to read it. Thanks to Jeff Lemire's excellent storylines and Andrea Sorrentino's amazing artwork, Green Arrow has become one of my favourite DC monthly comics and in the weeks that new issues of the series come out, Green Arrow is definitely among my first reads.
Without further ado, hit the break to see both the covers in all their glory! The full list of all these covers is available here.
12 Days of Best Covers of 2013: Day #4
For this new seasonal end of year list, the fourth book cover that I pick is Brian McClellan's debut novel for Orbit Books, Promise of Blood, the first novel in the Powder Mage gunpowder fantasy series that, for me, does some really new things with magic systems. Additionally, it describes a very rich and layered world that is driven by politics on all levels of culture and society. And finally, Brian writes some great action scenes that definitely make it easy to visualise in the mind what's happening on the pages. That in itself is quite fantastic.
And the fourth comics cover that I pick is the seventh issue of writer Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribic's Thor: God of Thunder. This is the series that really got me to read Marvel comics since it was the only comic from the publisher for months that I was following regularly. The two creators together wove a wonderful space operatic tale with fantasy elements and the comic featured regularly on my end of month lists, which can be found here.
So without further ado, hit the break to see both the covers in all their glory! The full list of all these covers is available here.
The Cover Art Mega-Post Part 3
So this is the third such post I have done for the blog. I took a 2-month break in between posts so that I could have some more material to showcase here, and it certainly has helped. There were a lot more books I wanted to cover, but I chose to stick withe magic number 17, the number of books I've covered previously.
A lot of the books on this list are next year's releases, and just as before, they all sound great, even some of the ones that are second or third (or else) in their respective series. I'm not sure if I can put aside the time to catch up to them any time soon but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get around to some of them at least. We'll see how that works out.
In the meantime, enjoy all these great covers and these books! Hope you liked the previous posts and that you'll like this one as well.
Publishing and Marketing 07: A Reviewer's Self-Examination
A few days ago I came across a review of Mark Lawrence's second Broken Empire novel, King of Thorns (link), which is up for nomination for the David Gemmell Legend Awards in the Legend category. The Legend Award is given to the Best Novel of the previous year. On Twitter and Facebook, I talked about how that review justified all my reasons and fears for not reading further into this series after my experiences with the first novel, Prince of Thorns (review).
My tweets eventually spawned off a discussion about negative reviews, which led into the review that forms the basis and reason for this entire post. In January last year, reviewer Liz Bourke wrote about Michael J. Sullivan's first Riyria Revelations novel, Theft of Swords (link). This review was brought to my attention by a friend on Twitter who had taken exception to the way that Liz Bourke took potshots at the author and his editors at Orbit Books.
Going through the review and the comments thread, some things become apparent to me as to the intent of the review, the tone it is written in, and what, ultimately, were the reactions. However, what really ended up happening was that it all sparked off some self-examination about negative reviews. And that's what this post is all about.
So welcome to another Publishing and Marketing blogpost.

I am Inspector Steve Griffiths and I have the
responsibility for the management of Macclesfield Neighbourhood
Policing Unit. My team consists of police officers, PCSOs, police
staff and Special Constables who are very experienced and
knowledgeable. The team strive to make you feel safe and be safe so
I would encourage you to inform us of any issues you feel police
can assist with.You can do this using our website or by ringing
We are communicating much more on Twitter as a form of passing
important information to you as well appealling for information to
enable us to solve crimes and/or other issues. Our Twitter account
is @MacclesfieldNPU if you

The Macclesfield Neighbourhood Policing Unit consists of seven
Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
Every month your team holds several open meetings or surgeries
in your area which are advertised in several ways including on our
website, locally in shops, on Parish noticeboards.
During these meetings members of the community are invited to
raise local issues with the members of your team present, on
occasions local councillors attend meetings and can answer
questions relating to council matters e.g. emptying of litter bins.
In addition, other issues that can be resolved are taken on board
and either dealt with by the local officer or passed onto partner
agencies if not a policing issue; for example, a highways issue
(e.g. yellow lines need replacing) that can be passed to Cheshire
East Council.
The local priorities for the month are decided upon by your
local team, in consultation with Sergeants Adam Alexander, Alex
McMillan and Charlie Taylor who carry out a review of all
information held on the police systems relating to your area. In
addition, information received in other formats, such as
communication to our Neighbourhood Policing Team mailbox or
talking to one of your team members on foot patrols is also taken
into consideration before the priorities are decided on.
The priorities for the coming month are then listed on the
Cheshire Police website. We also give an update of what we did to
address the previous priorities. Your local officers also provide
posters and feedback sheets about priorities which are placed on
Parish noticeboards, shops, etc. or handed out to residents during
our reassurance patrols, in areas affected by the local priority,
in order to communicate this information.
If you require additional information, please contact us and we
can discuss the matter further with you. Follow @MacclesfieldNPU on

Found someone on CL near me selling a Craftsman Contractor's table saw. Looks like it's a model that was discontinued a few years ago. 22859 i think? (guy told me 315.228590) He wants $325 for it. The picture of it looks decent: no rust i can see, etc. I'd like to go look at it and maybe buy it. Is $325 too much? What things should I be looking at before I hand money over? Anything I should know before I go into it? Will I have trouble fitting it into my car or should I get a truck?

#1 posted 2214 days ago
Truck it as most are quite heavy. Also look at how he used it. Was he a contractor or hobbiest? That should dictate how much use it got in it's life so far. Also, take a frame square with you and check the fence for trueness. Sometimes they get warped from misuse. And I don't mean trueness to the blade. I mean that the fence face is true along a straight edge.
You can also Google that model number and maybe find others for sale, for a price check.

Where are you located? I sold a very similar saw about 2 years ago to a close friend. It had a $500 Inca LS Table Saw/Router Table fence system, a router table, a router, several blades, all of the Incra templates, Incra book and video, several other Incra accessories, a PALS alignment system, dust collection attachment, a couple of miter gauges, casters, etc. I sold it to him for $400.00. To make along story short, his divorce was final last month and he needs the money. I'm sure he would take $400 for it. He is located just north of Dallas, TX.

This one looks similar to mine, 315.228310, that I bought new 10 years ago for $450. With the higher number it is a later model. The saw basically works ok but the fence leaves a lot to be desired. The sheet metal support stand for the saw is a little flimsy. I have mine on a mobile base and bent the frame when one of the wheels snagged on the lip of the garage floor. To tell the truth, if I were to sell mine, I would love to be able to get $350 out of it.

I am a a big fan of older Craftsman saws. Newer ones just cheapened things up unitl they no longer worked well. This one may not qualify as "older". You'll probably wanna be aware of this: Craftsman table saw problems
This and other discussions seem to indicate that the fence on this model is good. The fence is the single biggest failing on both old and new Craftsman saws.
A quick search at the sears site shows that parts and manuals are available. Download the manual and see how the saw is built. This is the old Emerson design for cast iron table and trunnion that has been around for about 50 years. Go out and look at it. If it has stamped steel extensions, it is definitely not worth $325 – cast iron is preferred. Check the bearings on the arbor and motor; they should turn freely and have no play (side-to-side motion on the arbor or motor shaft). Check the height and angle adjustments; they should move freely and smoothly with little effort. Check the main castings under the table, especially the semi-circular table brackets; cracked or broken is bad. Check alignment of the fence with the saw blade (lots of "how-tos" on the 'net for this – Google is your friend).
If you are handy, none of these things may be deal killers, just points to bargain the price lower. I have replaced motor and arbor bearings, cleaned and lubed sticky adjustment mechanisms and you can even get complete trunnion assemblies from e-bay. If you want a complete working saw out of the gate, any of these are deal killers; the saw won't work right until they are addressed.
All in all, $325 sounds a little steep unless it includes lotsa extras; I see better bargains on similar saws in my area all the time.
Good luck!

I sold my old one, it had a cast iron top with wings. Still pretty flimsy and the legs left a lot to be desired. I do not remember what model it was, but we bought it at auction for $100 and I just sold it last year for $100 so I was happy. I think that one was 1 hp though.
It also had a huge problem with the pulleys slipping off. I did everything I could think of, re-aligned the motor to the blade, replaced the keyways, tightened the set screws as much as I could and they still shifted and would come off.
Good luck.

What about a Delta? Are they generally better? Saw someone near me selling a delta contractor (looking) saw with a 30" extension table for the same price as the craftsman. Seems better to me, but I don't know the model number. Are there issues with the Delta table saws or are they generally reliable?
#8 posted 2212 days ago
Rockwell and Delta 10" contractor saws are good. Stay away from Delta's other smaller offerings.
Not sure how it is around your neck of the woods but around here Tablesaws are always being sold on CL. Patience will get you a good deal.
A 10" Contractor saw, to me, is worth about 250 if its in great shape, extra then add to the price. So a good fence + extensions + blades might be worth $350.
#9 posted 2212 days ago
well i'm going to check it out. it's at least worth a look. it's the saw, the extension table, fence (standard and extended?), dado blade, extension table stands, and other miscellaneous stuff. that's from the guy's email. so i'll be seeing it tomorrow and decide.

The price sounds a little high. If it looks decent when you see it, you can always offer less. It's amazing how cash in hand and a willingness to walk away from the deal if it's not a win-win helps in negotiations.

I bought one at a yard sale for $20. My son used it for a while and we gave it away. I have one from the '70's. Fence was worn and would not true up. I replaced the fence with a Delta fence from Lowe's for $150. Keep your eye out on CL. You can get a nice cabinet saw for a reasonable price or the Ridgid TS is a very nice saw for $549 at HD. Sometimes a $50 rebate. I've seen them on CL for $350. Some nice features on that saw. My son has one and I am impressed by it. Runs true, quiet, good dust collection with shop vac, nice rollaway dolly, nice fence.

Attention Deficit Disorder Top StoriesSee All
Research has shown that exercise can improve health and raise mood, but the benefits might not stop there. New research suggests exercise may improve attention span.
It's pretty common knowledge that smoking isn't good for you, and smoking during pregnancy isn't good for either of you.
Even though ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) can be treated with stimulant medications, those who have ADHD are at higher risk for substance abuse.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be well known, but there is still a great deal that scientists don't know about it.
Just because a child is diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when they're young doesn't mean they continue to show symptoms of the disorder later in life.

EXCL: Casting Update and Behind-the-Scenes Photos for Fetch
Theodore LoScalzo of DrippingDead Films sent Dread Central a fresh batch of exclusive behind-the-scenes photos for Fetch, director C.M. Downs' new feature that is currently shooting in Kansas. One look at them and all we can think of is, "Fetch us a sweater! Brrrr!"
Here's the basic plot crunch: Fetch, a terrifying story of six members of an evangelical Christian group who have been abducted in rural Kansas, was written by Trent (Deadgirl) Haaga and stars Ashlynn Yennie as Starlene Arbuckle (replacing the previously announced Christina DeRosa), Shawn G. Smith as Punch, and newcomer Krystal Heib as Christina Jenkins (originally to be portrayed by Yennie). Smith previously appeared in the "30 Days of Night: Blood Trails" TV series while Yennie will be familiar to those who have seen The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (review here).
LoScalzo told us, "The daily footage coming out has been absolutely amazing, and we are very, very happy about the casting changes. We are absolutely as excited as we can get about Ashlynn's performance, and Krystal Heib has already made her mark on this production as well."
A couple of the photos are below; click any of them to visit our full Fetch gallery.
Per director Downs, "The last two stills [in the gallery] are raw images from b camera. It was negative 16 degrees when we started shooting. High of 2 degrees that day." Like we said, "Brrrr!" That is true dedication!
To stay up-to-date on Fetch's progress over the coming months, follow the film from the director's perspective on Twitter via @CM_Downs and on the official DrippingDead Films website.
