Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a great weekend so far.
See the vintage drum table below? My Mom gave me this table over a year ago and it has sat collecting dust in my basement until about a month ago when I decided it was about time that it received a makeover.
I cannot lie. Refinishing this table has been a real struggle for me! It has taken me over a month to finally finish it and it is has seen no less than 4 different finishes during that time. Really, for only a small table? Well, it has been one of those projects! You know, one that you procrastinate on because your indecisiveness is getting the best of you? Lately, this has been happening to me more than I care to admit!
So when I had set out to work on this table, this is what happened…
First, I stripped the top of the table because it originally was in terrible shape, as you can see below. I then stained the top with my favorite whitewash stain. I really was loving how it was looking so far. Then I primed the base with gray primer and painted it with two coats of creamy-gray paint. Something just wasn't right with this look. Moving on…next I glazed the table with a burnt umber glaze to try to bring out some of the details on the pedestal base. Nope, not working either. How about a coat of watered-down homemade chalk paint? A little better, but still not there. Lastly, there was the gray glaze that I made with watered-down acrylic paint that was applied over top of everything and the distressing that I did. Now we're talking! So I thought…
The more I looked at this table, the more I wasn't totally happy with what I had done. Don't you just hate it when that happens when working on a project? At this point I was about to give up and just sell this table instead of keeping it for myself. I had already put so much time and hard work into it, not to mention the supplies that I had used up. After a glass of wine and a bit of contemplation, I decided to take a step back and let it sit untouched for a while until I had a vision as to what it should be like.
This table sat there for a couple of weeks until one day last week when I had a "Eureka" moment! The reason I didn't like this table was because it was too plain. I thought that the french-style top was really cute but the base and legs weren't anything special to look at. How about if I added some wooden appliques around the drum of the table to give it some style? Hmmm…that wouldn't work because the table is not totally flat. Well, how about doing some raised stenciling around it instead? Perfect!
Here is what my table looks like all finished! What do you think?
As, you can see I carried the stenciling all the way around the drum. I decided to not stencil the drawer at the front because I thought that it would compete with the handle that was there. I also added one raised design to each side of the legs to give them more interest.
It's hard to tell here, but in real life it almost looks like this table is covered in embossed leather. Very cool!
Here you can also see a close-up of the whitewashed stained top that I did.
I found out that it is very hard to photograph a whitewashed finish without it looking all washed out! In person, this finish is greyish-white with grey streaks running through it and touches of greyish-yellow here and there. It am so happy with how it turned out!
In this close-up of one of the raised stencils you can see that I also used a bit of crackle medium. I made sure that each raised stencil was a little bit different looking. Some have cracks, some don't. Some are more aged then others, some aren't. No two designs are exactly alike!
Here on the pedestal, you can see the distressing that I did but not so much of the gray glazing that is there. It is much easier to see indoors where the sun doesn't wash out the finish.
I painted over the original brass drawer handle with gesso and crackle medium. After the crackle medium had dried for at least an hour, I put on a light layer of gray craft paint to bring out the cracks. I added more white gesso to the raised parts of the handle to highlight. Finally, I coated everything with a layer of Mod Podge for protection.
Last month, I had shared how super easy it is to do raised stencils in my Decorative Book tutorial. You can find my step-by-step guide HERE.
For my decorative book project I had used Golden's Light Molding Paste to do the raised stencils. For furniture though, you will want to use something that will not crack or chip off. You want it to stand up to everyday use. For raised stencils on furniture, you will want to use Golden's Molding Paste. It is much heavier in weight and texture than the Light Molding Paste and much more durable.
This is the cute little stencil that I decided to use on my table. I covered over the small flowers with happy face stickers (that's all I had handy at the time) so that the molding paste wouldn't seep through when doing the raised stenciling. I thought the addition of the flowers would just make my table look too busy and I liked the simplicity of the medallion by itself.
To stencil my table, I first found the centre of the back of the drum and made a small pencil mark. I made sure my stencil was level and then used my Anthropologie membership card (again, all that I had handy) to spread on the molding paste. It's just like icing a cake! I carefully scraped off all of the excess medium back into my jar and then lifted my stencil up from one end in order to not disturb my pattern.
As I mentioned in my previous tutorial, molding paste is a PITA the get off your tools if you let it dry. You will want to wash your stencil and tools immediately with soap and water before moving on Also, it may make your stencil all cloudy so don't use this medium on your prized stencil unless you don't mind it getting a little messed up. My stencil is still useable. It just doesn't look pristine anymore. It doesn't bother me!
After I did my first set of stencils, I left them to dry, which only took about 20 minutes. Then I worked on the opposite side of the center stenciling in the other direction as to not mess up my fresh stencils. I placed my stencil over top of one of the previously stenciled designs and continued on. This helped to keep my stenciling in a straight line. By the time I got to the last set of stencils on each side I found out that this stencil fit perfectly within half a centimeter from the end on each side. No cutting needed and no half design to deal with. This was the perfect stencil for this project.
After I finished all of my raised stencils I let them fully dry for about 2 hours before painting. To paint my raised design I first glazed it with medium gray craft paint. Then I re-applied my stencil over top of my raised design and stenciled on a coat of white gesso. I then applied crackle medium randomly and once that was dry I sparingly glazed over the cracks with more gray craft paint making sure to wipe away the excess immediately.
Finally, to protect my table, I coated it with three coats of my favorite clear finish sanding in between coats.
This drum table was a labor of love for sure! It is definitely a keeper now!

If you are a regular visitor to my blog you may notice that I have again used some of my tried and true finishes when refinishing this table.

vuclip.com - Vuclip web video search
Title length: 36 characters
Information of vuclip.comvuclip.com has a pagerank 5. Why Google Pagerank is so Important?
When someone performs a search on a search engine, there are usually hundreds, if not thousands of search results, with the best result coming at the top of the first page. The first hit on a search results page generally receives hundreds, if not thousands of more hits than the links behind it. This makes it incredibly valuable for an Internet site to receiver a higher placement in the search results. These search results are determined by Google Pagerank. The Google Pagerank takes into account a series of different stats and information in order to decide what page appears higher in the search results than others. By appearing higher up than competing sites, your website not only generates more hits and views, but increases the overall revenue brought in by the site.
The first aspect the search engine takes into consideration is keywords. Keywords are what individuals type into the search field in order to bring up the information they desire. Keywords are words used throughout your site and it is important to make these words as unique as possible. The more unique the words are the higher your chances are of reaching the top hit in the search results. You don't want to use the term "Wood" if you make wood statues. The keyword wood is going to bring up millions of results, making the chances of your site appearing on top slim. However, 'Wood States' is more likely going to improve your oval standing in the search. Just make sure not to overuse the word throughout the text of your site. The search engine giant scans over every page with something known as bots. These bots read the context of the page, and if one word is used too often the bots determine that this is just keyword padding, which results in your page's removal from the search results.
Alexa Rank: 29,658 DMOZ: NO Yahoo directory: YES Yahoo backlinks: 1,380 Google backlinks: Alexa backlink: 149Why backlinks are so important?
Many people may wonder why backlinks are so important to Search Engine Optimization. Well they increase or decrease direct traffic to your website. Therefore they are the proverbial bread and butter, of your site. They are extremely important, in order to have a successful site. The more of these types of links you have in your website, the better results you will acquire off of search engines. Not having them in your site, is like a doctor entering an operating room without a surgical mask. It's a mandatory item for anyone looking for success on the net. When a query is made on a search engine, the more links of this kind your site has, the more likely your site will have prominence on the search engine sites. Search engines typically consider the amount of quality links a site contains, when the relevance or importance of a site is considered.
With that being said, the importance of the presence of these links in a site, can never be emphasized enough. These types of links on other sites, that directly effect your site, can not be manipulated easily. Some may try and often do try to manipulate links, so that the search engine results can be manipulated. However one should never underestimate, the importance of these links, when the importance of a certain site is calculated. A site can not be found by happenstance most of time. There has to be a great array of these types of links to direct traffic to a specific site. Without these links, the traffic can reduce or be relatively non existent. If the traffic is desired, as it always is, then the links must be present to direct the traffic to the site. It's simple math here. The more quality links present the more traffic a site will acquire.
Age: 7 YEARS, 19 DAYS Google visited: Bing indexes pages: 2,410 Google indexed pages: 0 Yahoo indexed pages: 264Why indexed pages are so important?
In order to make money from your website you need to have traffic. The more traffic you get then the more money you can make. One of the best ways to get a large amount of visitors to your website is the search engines. Large search engines send an extraordinary amount of web traffic to websites each day. The more indexed pages you have in the search results, then the more traffic you will receive.
If you have a website with 10,000 articles published on it, then you will tend to get a lot more traffic then you would if you only had 100 or so articles published. By getting your pages listed in the search results you can get a lot of new visitors. Instead of concentrating on search engine optimization strategies, you should start out by simply writing interesting and compelling articles that will encourage your search engine visitors to bookmark your site and return in the future.
Indexed pages are extremely important because if your website does not show up in the search engine results, then it cannot be found. You must have all of the web pages on your articles showing in the search results, or your website will fail to make a profit.
The best thing you can do to encourage indexing of all your web pages is to write and add new articles consistently, and to interlink your articles to other pages within your website. By interlinking your content it will make it easier for the search engine spiders to find all of your pages.

Game Preview – Game 35: Your New Jersey Devils @ Carolina Hurricanes
New Jersey Devils (19-14-1, 39 points) vs Carolina Hurricanes (11-19-6, 28 points)
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
Tonight will be the third of four matchups between the Devils and the Hurricanes this season. The Devils won both games played at Prudential Center this season on October 10 and November 8, both of which were decided in the third period.
Devils Vs Washington Recap:
Everything looked to be going the New Jersey Devils way in their last game against the Capitals on Friday, that is until the third period.
After a scoreless first period, the Devils had what I believe is one of their best second periods all season. Great constant pressure in the offensive zone eventually led the Devils to scoring three unanswered goals from Ilya Kovalchuk, Alexander Urbom, and Adam Henrique. The offensive play combined with Martin Brodeur's goaltending, the odds seemed to be in the Devils favor… until the third period.
The three-nothing lead has always been considered the worst lead in hockey. This proved to be true once again as the Capitals scored three unanswered goals of their own forcing the game to overtime.
Once overtime had come in gone, it was time for a penalty shot shootout which saw Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias score on their attempts, and saw Martin Brodeur, not only stop Nicklas Backstrom, but ROB Alex Ovechkin for the win.
The win gave the Devils their 38th and 39th points of the season, which has them tied with the Ottawa Senators for seventh in the Eastern Conference.
Last Game Against Carolina:
Final Score: 3-2
In their last game against the Hurricanes, the New Jersey Devils were without star forward Ilya Kovalchuk. They relied on offense of the line of Sykora-Elias-Zubrus which combined for two goals and three assists in the contest.
Adam Henrique had the eventual game winner as he successfully completed a wrap around which slid the puck under the pad of Hurricanes' goaltender Arturs Irbe, I mean Cam Ward.
Henrique's game winner was his second in as many games. "The kid's got a knack for big goals," coach Peter DeBoer said of Henrique who is now second in overall rookie scoring with 9 goals, 17 assists.
Projected Devils Lineup:
Parise (C) – Henrique – Kovalchuk (A)
Sykora – Elias (A) – Zubrus
Tedenby – Zajac – Clarkson
Sestito – Carter – Janssen
Salvador – Fayne
Volchenkov – Foster
Taormina – Urbom
*Note: Adam Larsson is not injured and is on his way back from Sweden after attending funeral services for his grandmother.
The Latest on the Carolina Hurricanes:
The season so far hasn't been very kind to the Carolina Hurricanes, who currently find themselves last in the Eastern Conference Standings.
A coaching change has already been made this season for the Hurricanes as they have brought former Devil Kirk Muller on to be the head coach, and Muller has brought former Devils player and coach, John MacLean, to serve as one of the assistant coaches.
The Hurricanes are coming off of a win in their last game on Friday night as they defeated the Senators 2-1 in overtime, thanks to a goal from Tuomo Ruutu. It was the first time this season that the Hurricanes won a game that needed extra time to be decided. They currently have six overtime losses.
Cam Ward stopped 22 of 23 shots and is expected to make the start tonight at the RBC Center against the Devils.
Projected Hurricanes Lineup:
Tlusty – Staal (C) – Dwyer
Ponikarovsky – Jokinen – Ruutu
Bowman – Sutter (A) – LaRose
Nodl – Brent – Stewart
Gleason (A) – McBain
Spacek – Harrison
Joslin – Allen

WAYNESBURG – Greene County has produced some great champions in various sports, from wrestling, to track and field to girls' softball, to name a few. Now there's a chance to add a show dog to that list.
Zale, a 5-year-old female German shepherd, is ready to follow in her father's footsteps Monday when she and her owner/handler Christi Halliday of Bedillion Road, Waynesburg, compete in the Best of Breed category at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show in New York.
Zale, better known in dog circles as Champion Imp-Cen Diamonds Are Forever, is still a "diamond in the rough," Halliday admits. Although Zale has won some coveted competitions, including Best of Breed at a show this year in Fredericksburg, Va., she has yet to experience a show of the stature of Westminster, where 2,720 dogs representing 213 potential breeds in seven specific groups, are expected to compete for the top prize of Best in Show.
Zale will be up against 23 other German shepherds in the Best of Breed category and shepherds fall into the herding group that is comprised of 25 other breeds.
Zale's father, Zane, also owned and handled by Halliday, competed at Westminster in 2004, 2005 and 2007, winning "Best Of Opposite Sex" each time in the German shepherd breed category.
"She is a champion of record and I am taking her to Westminster because I wanted to see how she will do," Halliday said. "Zale is not an accomplished dog yet. She is a big underdog, so to speak, but she could win Best of Breed."
Halliday stressed that Zale will become a better show dog as she matures and her muscle tone develops.
To become an AKC champion, which Zale is, a dog must win 15 championship points at AKC-member or licensed shows, under three different judges. These points must include at least two majors won under two different judges. (A major consists of three, four or five points won at a single show by virtue of the size of the entry.)
While the process of earning championship status is confusing, the road to Best of Show is simpler.
Dog shows are a process of elimination. First, a dog must win Best of Breed – in Zale's case, German shepherd. Only the Best of Breed winners advance to compete in group competitions. Each AKC-recognized breed falls into one of seven classifications: sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting and herding.
Four placements are awarded in each group, but only first-place winners advance to the Best of Show competition.
With the numbers of breeds and different categories, how is a judge able to distinguish one champion from another?
"They start with the standard of perfection," Halliday said, "and are judged against that."
Zale's father, Zane, achieved remarkable success. He has a Best of Show – a dog-show equivalent to a Super Bowl win; 64 ribbons for Best of Breed; and 34 placements or wins in the herding group.
"He finished 2003 as the No. 3 German shepherd in the country and was the No. 1 male," Halliday said. "But first and foremost, Zane and Zale are family members, pets and companions."

Every team needs a punching bag, Jason Kendall is ours
Baseball August 6th, 2009
I've been watching baseball my entire life and if there is one thing I've learned it's that you have to hate at least one person on your favorite team at all times. It's impossible to love 25 guys at the same time. You have to dislike a few. All season long Jason Kendall and Jeff Suppan have been neck and neck for the title of punching bag, but with Suppan's injury and Kendall's recent slump it seems that Kendall has taken the crown once and for all. And I couldn't be happier.
With Suppan it's always more about expectations and money than it is about performance. He is not good, I am not saying that he is. It's just that he is a 4th starter and he is expected to be a fourth starter, he just happens to be paid exorbirantly well for a fourth starter. It's not his fault that he took the money, who wouldn't? He is what he is.
With Kendall it's different. He's a catcher and catcher's aren't supposed to hit, but he is so bad at hitting that it's become a joke. The story goes that he overcomes his hitting by his value in handling the pitchers. The pitchers like throwing to him. Let's just go ahead and debunk that REAL QUICK. Read the rest of this entry »

Raylon Summars, the drummer and one of the founders of Hillbilly Sins, said the band and its name were several years in the making.
"Anthony Sims and I had been trying to work out the concept and members for years," he said. "It finally came together in August of 2011, when Nathan Renfro and Nigel Newberry joined. We knew we wanted to keep our country roots but we also wanted to be different than the traditional cover bands we had been in. That led Anthony to the idea of sinning against traditional music. It didn't take long for him to come up with Hillbilly Sins."
According to Summars, the only name that has stuck in describing their music is "outlaw."
"We are not traditional country, but we are not rock," he said. "We fall somewhere in the middle of all of the labels people use today. We decided at the beginning that we were going to throw out the rule books and play the music we enjoyed the way we enjoyed it. So far it has worked out pretty well for us. You'll hear a lot of blues and Southern rock from Nigel's Lynyrd Skynyrd roots. Anthony takes a lot of influence from classic country artists like Merle Haggard and George Jones. Nathan is our resident music database but is a classic rocker at the heart of it all. We still look for songs he doesn't already know. Our lead singer, who we have named "Mike" for the time being, has a lot of Southern gospel and blues roots. I am more of a modern rock and blues influence."
The combination of their musicality turns every performance into a head-rocking, crowd-screaming, soul-stirring good time for audiences who can't seem to get enough of their edgy outlaw flavor.
"We love the interaction and response," Summars said. "Our goal at every show is to deliver our brand of music to the best of our ability. We want people to enjoy the songs as much as we do. We feed off that energy. Seeing someone sing along to our originals and connect to a song is probably the greatest feeling ever."
Seeing familiar faces "means everything," especially when the hometown crowd comes out to support the band, according Summars.
"Our music is about the life in this area that we all experienced firsthand," he said. "Our songs are true stories. We love the Cleveland area and everyone in it. Their support is the reason why we do what we do. Without them we would still be trying to put this thing together."
Instead, the Hillbilly Sins are finishing their first demo album, "Dirt Road Gospels." Fans eagerly awaiting their debut album will be very pleased with the results, according to Summars.
"We are very proud to say it will be available at our comeback show in October," Summars said. "We already have plans to start another album soon. We hope to keep doing what we love and that is playing music for people the way we enjoy playing it. We have already been given so many opportunities that we never imagined would come. We can't imagine what else is in store for the band."
After opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd last June at Riverbend, the Hillbilly Sins stand ready to show why outlaw music is becoming the most wanted music in America, and why this outlaw country band has found a redemptive sound that many just can't escape from. The Hillbilly Sins will be performing at Rhythm and Brews in Chattanooga on Oct. 25 and Nov. 15.

Then, can you drop the coax inside the wall to the HR20? Keeps everything neat (my wife appreciates that aspect). Or down an inside wall to crawlspace/basement and come back up into HR20?
Oh trust me I do all I can to keep my "goodies" in line so it is okay to her. She has trouble enough with the tiny Sirius antenna on top of the tv. Unfortunately I have also tried this. However I have vaulted ceilings in my LR and it is a VERY tight squeeze up there between rafters and roof. I CANNOT get close enough to the wall to do this I tried snaking up from bottom and grabbing it up there as well, but no luck. My best option would be popping out the soffit and getting at it that way, but that isn't all that easy or fun. I just know it is visible because I had a repair in soffit I did earlier in the year.
I will try inside antenna for now as it is just one VHF channel I need and I am not all too far from towers.

The densely populated area from New York City to Boston could experience one of its ten biggest snowstorms on record early this week, as a textbook nor'easter takes shape over the next 48 hours.
No doubt, "warmest ever" headlines obscure what is important about climate change. It takes what is expected and makes it into inconsequential headlines. It is simplistic in many ways to make this persistently premiere news. It plays into maintaining a conversation that is isolating of the subject of climate change. It consumes the energy and resources of scientists in fundamentally non-productive ways. It helps the denialists frame the conversation. We need to learn to embrace the complexity, simply, rather that trying to communicate the complexity simplistically.

The 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: Lust for Life
Americans should start giving themselves a little credit.
Let it not be said that we Americans aren't Out There, Living Life, Testing Boundaries, and, in short, carpe-diem-ing like nobody's business. Not for us the safe and familiar.
Most of us—51 percent!—have no interest in working a mere 100 yards from where we live; even within the quotidian context of the daily commute, we demand a wider range of experience. We recognize, in the royal family, kindred free spirits: when they get photographed without their clothes on, we don't blame them, but rather (a) the magazines that run the photos, or (b) the public that seems to want to look at them. Intellectually, we have shed the conventions and stereotypes of earlier eras: not only do we know what Kwanzaa is, but to portray Jesus in a film we choose Denzel Washington. Speaking of intellect, even in the Digital Age most of us remain card-carrying members of our local libraries; and, yes, we know where the cards are located.
Finally—and that's exactly the right word in this instance—we believe "bucket list" should be added to the dictionary, ahead of "man cave" and even "sexting." More evidence that we plan to stay out there, more than 100 yards from home literally and metaphorically, right up till the end.

Windster RA-35 Series 36" Wall Mounted Vent Hood - Brushed Stainless Steel
Professionally designed by Windster, this RA-35 Series 36" Vent Hood (RA-35W36SS) not only looks great, but is loaded with features that are sure to take your cooking experience to a whole new level. With just three buttons and a small LED display screen, the sleek appearance in not compromised by a cluttered control panel, yet the unit still manages to offer more control options than standard vent hoods. Choose from six fan speeds, three lighting levels, optional infrared heat lamps and a delay shut-off function.

Simple Control Buttons:
The control panel features three buttons: power, lights and fan speed. Adjust the fan speed and lighting level by repeatedly pushing the corresponding buttons (levels will increase with each additional push of the button)LED Display:
Located in the lower right-hand corner, the blue-lighted LED display screen indicates the fan speed while the unit is on, and delay shut-off when the unit is powering downProfessional Design:

Incredipede will be released at the end of October! I'm really excited about it. The game is playing and looking really good.
There will be a preview article in PC Magazine at the end of August. That'll be the first place you can get a look at the new graphics.
Hope everyone is excited for this release.

Minolta X300
I'ts been a while (ten years plus) since I put a film through this camera, I am pleased to say that it still is a joy to use. I really am dissapointed with the quality of Asda's develping and scan to CD, this camera will produce much better than these examples. I guess film processing is like anything else you buy - you get what you pay for.

Material: Eco-concrete
Brand: Bevara Design House
Origin: Imported
This San Francisco-based line of home furnishings and accessories is based on the principles of sustainable design. Co-founders Amy and Erik Jorgensen are inspired by their international travels, such as the backpacking adventure across Asia that they took as newlyweds. There, they became involved with socially progressive designers and cooperatives, eventually resulting in the formation of this line of everything from beds to bowls. All are hallmarked by recycled, reclaimed wood and metal, as well as granite, stone, and innovative material combinations like Eco Concrete, a reinforced natural-fiber cement.

Not sure what they were thinking with the Advanced Aircraft Rules. At least, I'm not sure what they were thinking about this *specific* rule:
"While airborne, aircraft units cannot be targeted by standard ATTACK actions from ground units or aircraft units with the Hover skill. Aircraft units can only be targeted by SUSTAINED ATTACK actions. Additionally, when making a SUSTAINED ATTACK against aircraft units, results are not rerolled."
So, doesn't this effectively mean that you can't use Reactive Fire against aircraft? If so, that seems really, really, REALLY stupid since most of the units with Advanced or Superior Reactive Fire are anti-aircraft units like the Heinrich, Sturmkonig, and Wildfire.
As if aircraft needed to be MORE powerful than they already are…

— Martin Van Buren
Eighth U.S. president
My fellow Americans, if I were president ... well, let's just say it might not be pretty.
The thought came to mind as we approach Inauguration Day for President Barack Obama who will take his second oath of office as U.S. commander-in-chief on Monday. It's a fitting day for making history, not only for the Obamas and their extended U.S. family, but for a man who once dreamed of witnessing such a heartwarming event.
Not only does Monday signal the swearing in of a U.S. president, it also is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
These events are marking the first time in a history of Mondays that this traditionally torturous weekday is enjoying such strong favor among Americans.
As happy as I am for the president, and as pleased as I am that one of Dr. King's dreams is again coming true, I still have to ask myself, "Who would actually want to be president?"
Not me.
I don't even think as a kid I wanted the job. Might have been the house. Just too big. You could walk half a day without running into somebody you know. And all that furniture? Who's in charge of dusting? And that acreage called floors? They're not gonna mop themselves.
But just for the sake of dreaming, just for the chance at friendly conversation ... what would I do if I were president?
It's not a novel thought. At one time or another in our lives, most Americans have probably asked themselves the same question.
"What if I were president? What would I do?"
Most dismiss the concept without a flinch.
But, "What if ...?"
Here's my bucket list of presidential actions. Whether by Congressional vote, Executive Order or the sheer will of the people, here are a few high-priority items I'd get implemented, in no particular order of personal preference:
1. Reduction of the workweek to four days and only in two cycles — either Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday. No messing with the weekends.
2. For men, the permanent banishment of neckties; for women, the irreversible exile of shoes with toes too pointy and heels too high. Standards in each category will be determined by each state government. For those jurisdictions unable to reach consensus, a slate of federally approved measures will be imposed.
3. Outlawing of needless, mindless and heartless violence within the video game industry. Appeals will be limited to never or only if you-know-what freezes over.
4. Implementation of a "Too Tall Hoop" rule in the NBA. Players today are so tall and they jump so high that gorilla dunks are just too much the norm, making the game way too easy. Under my regime, the basket height will be raised from 10 feet to about 15, maybe more. Nike, Reebok and New Balance, better start putting more rubber in your soles.
5. Implementation of a "Too Tattooed" rule in all professional sports. Any athlete, man or woman and regardless of sport, with tattoo coverage of more than 75 percent of total skin will be disqualified from participation.
6. Decibel level of TV commercials will be disallowed from exceeding the pre-set volume of regular programming. Under my administration, and once and for all, the days of ear-piercing, drum-bashing, electronic advertising will end. Previous attempts have failed. Mine will not.
7. A bill code-named "Project Potty Mouth" will minimize the use of profanity in movies by requiring all Hollywood scriptwriters — ALL, no grandfathering — to complete training on how to write dialogue with limited use of colorful descriptives.
8. Buttermilk will be removed for soured eternity from all grocery store shelves and cows will be forcibly restrained from its continued production; this one I had to ponder before committing it to print ... because, after all, some folks do like the stuff. I do not. I have tried through annual tastings. I still do not. Sorry. But I am the president.
9. Republican and Democratic parties WILL work together. They will talk. They will compromise. I will not ask that they like each other, but I will demand they respect one another's values. ALL deliberations will be FOR the American people, not the party. Any party that does not play fair nor do right will cease to be a party.
10. One pair of rose-colored eyeglasses will be required in every home. Their purpose is not to diffuse reality, but to infuse potential.
11. "Hate" will be the first four-letter word disenfranchised from the English language. Anyone practicing its atrocities based on race, class, culture, religion, gender and anything else that defines humanity will be met with repercussions, swift and severe.
12. Leaders within the gun-control debate — those for and those against, including the NRA and the loved ones of shooting victims — will be locked inside a conference room of neutral locale for legitimate debate, face-to-face and in the presence of NO news media (not even Oprah), and the doors will NOT be opened until a resolution of mutual satisfaction is reached. No stalemates. No filibusters. No excuses. Answers ... just answers. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Well, that about does it.
As I descend from my pedestal, I will repeat from this column's opening, "... If I were president, it might not be pretty."
Most likely, other presidents have wanted to take similar actions, but could not because it would not be politically correct.
I guess that makes me incorrect.
But that's OK, because I am not real.

Their story: The forests of Poland rank as one of the world's largest managed, sustainable forest areas. The makers of the natural wood crayons purchase the wood from cleared bushes and small trees to craft their products. The money from this otherwise unwanted resource is directed back into sustaining Poland's forests.
Material: Discarded Polish White Birch wooden twigs
Brand: Inntrax
Origin: Imported
Color a child's world with repurposed twig crayons sourced from Poland's forests. Each crayon is hand-carved using wooden bits that are otherwise discarded when mature oak and pine forests are cleared of underbrush. Not only does that make Inntrax crayons eco-friendly, but a portion of the profits generated from their sales goes toward reforestation efforts in Poland. A rustic birch wood container accompanies all the non-toxic crayon sets, which come in various sizes.

I'm interested in purchasing an e-reader of some kind (i.e. must use e-ink tech, no LCD screens) and wondering if anyone has any suggestions about which reader lends itself most to tinkering/extending/hacking? Are there any that make it possible to install your own software? (It would be cool to see i.e. Emacs running on one.) In a way this is also a question about which reader supports the most ebook formats, and is therefore least likely to become bricked if the manufacturer spots supporting its preferred format. It's also a privacy issue, as some readers (looking at you, Kindle) are so tightly integrated with their sales platform that they seem to overstep a privacy line, in terms of the data they collect about you. The more open the reader, the more likely a user is to be able to control their privacy level. Opinions welcome! Thanks. asked Jun 02 '11 at 08:58 textchimp |
Nook Color, hands down. Your eInk criterion limits you to cheap Chinese knockoffs. If you're willing to go LCD, you won't be disappointed with an NC; Cyanogen makes the ROM for it, and they are nearly impossible to brick. Heck, you can run a custom ROM right off the microSD card, never putting your warranty in jeopardy. And, because it's Cyanogen, you can read nearly anything, and have full Android Market access. -C linkanswered Jun 04 '11 at 16:05 Christopher |
The new Nook (just called "nook" though people are nicknaming it the nook "touch" to differentiate it from the original dual screen eink and minilcd nook, the new touch screen nook is a single touchscreen e-ink reader with the same processor as the Nook Color) runs android and is equally hackable. (though obviously the screen refresh is not suitable for animation, the device is lighter and cheaper and has much better battery life and sunlight readability) Don't think there's a cyanogen for it yet but you can change the launcher and load arbitrary android applications (including the kindle app if you like having choice between the two stores). Also as always, all the Nook readers support ePub book format which is an open format and you can convert just about any other format to ePub via the excellent open source PC app "Calibre". linkanswered Jun 11 '11 at 21:02 eduprey |
Stay away from any DRM-like sellers, this is anything but open. I suggest to try Ony Boox http://www.onyxboox.com/ which runs linux kernel and it is hackable if you know how to do it. There is also an active comunity to support this: http://booxusers.com/ linkanswered Jun 12 '11 at 23:44 Umm, but the Nook and Nook color also run a Linux kernel with an open source boot loader (x-loader / u-boot), are much less expensive and seem to be higher quality hardware. You can load your own books if you don't like the DRM in the online shops, and you can use the open source fbreader app on android if you don't like the stock reader software. You can compile and boot your own Linux kernel on these devices if you like.
