Hi everyone, I used a 1880's cradle, made by a friend of my wife's family, as the template for this cradle. The rocking cradle sits on a base and has a unique latching mechanism to stop the rocking...

Re: STL 57: Tablesaw Accident Update
This morning while hiking with my dogs, I was listening to the earlier podcasts that I missed and found that in STL 5 you did discuss the SawStop technology. So thank you for that.
Re: STL 57: Tablesaw Accident Update
I'm very upset with all of you for your failure to discuss saw safety in a serious way. In the earlier podcast you almost sounded like you were ridiculing the person injured. Even here, with more facts, it didn't sound as though you took this injury as seriously as you should have. And in an earlier podcast one of you imply that a riving knife solves table saw safety problems. But if you review the accident discussed here, a riving knife wouldn't or didn't help.
I think there are two elephants in the room. First, you all are in a state of denial. You're like soldiers thinking "it will never happen to me!" Or with hubris "I know better." And yet we are all human. We are not perfect. Some day....but then it will be too late.
Secondly, for probably political and financial reasons, Fine Woodworking refuses to discuss SawStop technology and value from a safety perspective. You seem to be avoiding mentioning SawStop. I understand how everyone hates being forced by regulations and a patent to purchase their technology. But you guys love new technology. Listen to your podcast of you drooling over the Veritas factory and their products. I often see SawStop saws being used in your videos and articles. Mark Adam's videos on saw safety focused on techniques while using a Sawstop saw. He never once mentioned their blade stop technology but did say, while pointing to a SawStop saw, "Today's saws are much safer with their new riving knives and streamlined guard systems." Shouldn't technology and techniques go hand and hand to improve safety? Why do you seem to skip over one of the greatest advancement in safety and only discuss riving knives? What am I missing?
Lastly, the FWW Feb. 2012 article "Tablesaw under Siege" ended with FWW stating it would respond to the CPSC's proposed rule and that "our editors and experts can shed valuable light on the real world implications of tablesaw safety gear..." Can you share these implications with your readers?

Re: CPSC Drafting New Tablesaw Regulations
sawzall316 definitely has the best summary to date.
First, I've noticed was that fabrication shops and schools in my area are using the SawStop table saws. But construction sites and lumber yards are still using the old saws. Interesting that the lower skilled workers are afforded the least protection by their employers. This is a clear example of why we need better table saw safety regulations.
Second, the contributors and editors to FW are wimps more worried about their ad revenue than their readers safety. The latest videos on table saw safety don't mention this technology. Recently FW has added more table saw safety articles, videos and even a quiz, most of which don't even mention this technology.
In the "Tablesaw Techniques with Marc Adams" video series Marc talks about safety but doesn't even mention this new technology even though he is using a SawStop table saw.
And Roland Johnson spends a whole video on how new saws are now using the riving knife. OK, I agree it's an important topic. But isn't technology to save you fingers also worth a little discussion.
The moral high ground is to promote the technology. The financial high ground is to not piss off their advertisers.
How many FW fingers, or friends and family fingers, will it take for FW to see the value in this technology.

Re: Stephen Colbert Takes the Sizzle Out of SawStop
In the latest issue of FWW there are two letters from readers with opposing views. One is written with sound logic and based on first hand experience. The other,all emotion and no thought. I find most people against this technology are the same people who want their freedom now but will be the first to sue once a finger is cut.
What really bothers me is that the editors of FWW are afraid to take a stand. They repeat "facts" from the industry that are patiently wrong. (i.e. the industry's estimate of costs) They give equal weight to thoughtful dialog and irrational rantings. They ask us to send our opinions to the CPSC but refuse to take a stand. Matthew Kenney's comment, "Enjoy this for what it is: comedy." completely ignores the sarcasm in Cobert's piece. OR maybe I'm wrong and he just doesn't get it!

Re: The Story Behind the Government's Pending Tablesaw Ruling

Re: Behold, the Speed Tenon
I've been using this technique for many years. But I'm much more careful than he seems to be.
Most importantly, the article doesn't explain why this technique is unsafe. Also, it doesn't provide any tips on how to do this safely. I think it is irresponsible to show the process without discussing why you think it's unsafe or techniques to use to make it safer. Somebody is going to read your little blurb, go try it out, and cut off a few fingers. Hope you sleep well tonight.
Why is this unsafe? Because you are pushing your hand toward the saw. You slip and your fingers end up in the saw.
Here is what you need to do to use this technique safely:
First, I've a very healthy respect for the saw (so much so that I now own a SawStop.)
Second, I don't do this free handed. I brace the palm of my hand on the miter gauge to guide the wood. The other hand, pushing the wood toward the saw, is holding the far end of the wood, no where near the saw.
Lastly, I don't try to rush it. I only take a little off at a time. If you take too big of a cut, you're pushing harder and your hand might slipe toward the saw, not a safe condition.
Re: Appeals court upholds Osorio tablesaw verdict: Feds consider landmark safety standard
People keep mixing owners and employees. If you own the business or have your own workshop at home, you should be able to do what ever you want as long as it doesn't cost others. However, if you employ workers who will use a table saw, it's your responsibility to ensure that they are protected by safety devices and/or insurance that pays for losses due to injuries on the job. The real problem is that employers don't honor that responsibility forcing lawsuits and government regulation.
Employers who hire workers without paying workers comp insurance should be sued if the worker is injured and the employer doesn't provide just compensation. The insurance companies can then raise the rates on those who don't use safety devices.
Employers are causing this problem, not the government or the workers.
And I'm sick of hearing about how it's the users fault. Even the best of us are not perfect. Accidents happen. Accept it! The issue is not fault, but compensation if your injured on the job.
Re: Blade brake inventor aims to compete with SawStop
Hey joe4liberty and other libertarian,
Don't mix safety in your own home with safety in the workplace. We all deserve a safe work environment. Those small businesses that don't provide a safe work environment are often greedy and leave it to society to pick up the cost. The lack of regulating "greed" has shown to be very costly. Just look at our economy today.
I DO care about your safety at home because when you cut off your hand I'll end up paying part of the bill. If you have insurance, my rate will go up. If you don't have insurance, my taxes will go up to pay for your trip to the emergency room. If you have no insurance but are wealth, you will be wasting societies wealth and, although small, my standard of living will go down.
God gave me only two hands and a non-perfect brain. So I purchased a SawStop so when my primary safety device, my brain, fails me, I have a backup.

Re: CPSC Drafting New Tablesaw Regulations
I'm sick of people stating that the government screws things up. We forget about what the workplace was like before OSHA! There were 350 deaths per 100,000 workers in 1920. Today that number is less than 1 per 100,000. Do you really want to go back to those days!
Safety regulations are based on the simple premise that humans make errors and these errors shouldn't cost them their fingers, hands, or lives. Anecdotal evidence provide here doesn't change the fact that safety systems on equipment saves lives and limbs. Most managers in factories know that safety systems saves them money.
I've been working with table saws since I was 13 years old. I've yet to loose a single finger. But several times I've asked myself "What the #$%@ was I thinking!" after I did something stupid. We all have those moments.
So last week I purchased a SawStop.
Re: Router Injury Sparks Reflection on Safety
We all will have war stories. I have a few myself, luckily only 6 stitches after 35 years.
Woodworking is one of the few activities that OSHA hasn't required fail-safe guards. Maybe technology didn't exist a few years ago. But now table saws can be stopped before serious injury. Maybe that technology can be adapted to chop saws. And there are probably other technologies that can stop other types of tools. If we are not careful lawyers are going to make tools prohibitively expensive.
Maybe there is something we in the field(both pros and hobby) can do to preempt the lawyers. In the 80's the nuclear industry created the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations to self regulate and forestall new government regulations. It worked. Maybe we need to create something similar for woodworking. Any ideas?
Re: Mission/Arts&Craft Style Desk
CherrySquirrel, I used a router with a simple jig pictured above. I cut the curve after I glued up the apron and drawers. I then used a belt sander and cabinet scrapper to clean it up.
I spent hours thinking about how I was going to cut the curve. But once I decided on the router and jig it took about 20 min to make the jig and about 10 min to cut the curve with a 1" router bit.
Re: Could This Tool Change Everything?
Well, a A+ for the paint job but a few days late for a April Fools joke.
First and foremost, if your going to do a April Fools Day joke, deliver it on April 1st.
Second, be original. I knew where you were headed with each little skit before you said a word. Are you telling us that even though your about the only publication on woodworking you can't come up with something original on the topic? Obviously more than the art director are sleeping on the job.
Thirdly, you need a different mind set. Now that I think about it, I realize that the whole magazine is kind of drab. There are no tongue in cheek articles like the one at the end of Fine Homebuilding. I can't remember the last light hearted article I read. And I often know where a joke is headed before I get to the punch line.
Fourthly, you need to start working on next years April Fools joke now. If you work on a joke a month I'm sure by next year you will have the skills needed.
Lastly, if it's not good, pitch it.

WASHINGTON - Two police officers have sued Washington Metropolitan police in Superior Court, accusing its officials of suspending them indefinitely for converting to Islam.
The investigation and suspension of the plaintiffs was initiated and conducted by defendant McGuire because of the plaintiffs' religious affiliation and personal associations, statements of expression made by plaintiffs, and the plaintiffs' respective name changes, the complaint filed at the District of Columbia, in Superior Court, was cited by Court House News on Friday, February 1.
Adham Numair-El and Ishmeal Heru-Bey, formerly Joseph Gibson and Jamal Adams, sued Metro Police Chief Cathy Lanier, internal affairs agent James McGuire and the District of Columbia, in Superior Court.
The complaint was made in retaliation for the plaintiffs complaining that their suspensions and the first effort to terminate their employment were acts of unlawful discrimination and violations of the plaintiffs' constitutionally protected rights.
Numair-El, who's been on the force since 2004, and Heru-Bey, a police officer since 2002, both say they converted separately to Islam for spiritual peace and fulfillment.
Finding Islam, they legally changed their names and received new government-issued identification.
While Heru-Bey obtained a new Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) identification card and badge under his new name, Numair-El claims he was denied both documents.
Numair-El added that he was fired from his part-time job as a security officer after losing his police powers.
Facing trial board, the two officers said they were found not guilty of misconduct.
Returning to work, they were suspended again, one day later.
The officers claim that McGuire caused the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to investigate the lawfulness of their driver's licenses, which bear their Islam names.
Both say the MPD tried to fire them "at the urging and direction of defendants McGuire and Lanier, because of plaintiff's religious affiliation and personal associations."
The two Muslim officers noted that their suspensions cost them the ability to work special events and overtime.
"Both plaintiffs have remained suspended (with pay but no overtime, no authorization to work part-time, and no ability to be promoted) for nearly two years since the trial board ruled in the plaintiffs' favor and without notice of any allegations against them, the complaint said.
They seek reinstatement and compensatory and punitive damages totaling $16 million, for employment discrimination, civil rights violations and negligent supervision.

At Home with Badgley Mischka
The design teams Kentucky getaway is where thoroughbred horses and high style meet
By Julia Reed
In the beginning, there was a lot of work to do. First came clearing out about 3,000 trees so that Badgley could put in paddocks and rings in which to exercise his show hunters, Brando, Cooper (thus named, he says, because they are so good-looking), and Nantucket. It was a rude awakening, says Mischka, laughing. We found a small cemetery and a smokehouse that was a raccoon lair.
They also discovered that most barns in the area were built for drying tobacco, and are therefore, he says, amazingly open and lofty. Inspired, they opened up and brightened the house a bit. A screened porch along one side was totally remodeled, and a downstairs bedroom suite was converted into a chic library. The 1970s kitchen, complete with a drop ceiling and wood-grain Formica, was gutted and renovated with those big tiled servants kitchens in Newport in mind, says Mischka; scary pink-and-turquoise-tiled 50s bathrooms were redone in sleek marble. As in their Manhattan apartment, the place was given a predominately black-and-white color scheme, with mostly bare floors and no window treatments. Weve never really been comfortable with color in our homes, he says. We work with it so much in our business that we like a clean palette where we live.
The place is indeed clean, but also remarkably warm, with Sherwin-Williamss Modern Gray paint on most of the walls and what Mischka describes as so many wood tones lending depth. Our contractor wanted to polish up the door frames, but we liked them beat-up, he says. The frames are mahogany, the floors are red oak; and then there are the wood-mounted antlers on the walls, along with hunting prints and oil portraits.
Though neither man is remotely Southern (Mischka grew up in New Jersey), they quickly absorbed the ethos of their new locale. An old-fashioned butlers tray downstairs holds decanters for drinks, and there are antiques scattered about upstairs, along with beautifully monogrammed linens from their friend and neighbor Jane Scott Hodges, founder of Leontine Linens. People adore them here, says Hodges, who jokes that she picked up Mischka on the plane from New York. I really think they love escaping the hubbub of the citythey enjoy being able to entertain. Even the brainstorming session over linen choices was conducted during a lovely lunch. We sat at the table in that fabulous library, James whipped up a quiche, and we drank a rosé. It was so perfectly civilized, Hodges says.
The black leather sofas and chairs in the living room are both comfortable and built to withstand the onslaught of a dozen or so dogs, says Badgley: Everybody with a horse comes with a dogthe trainer has one, and the groomso we made certain the place was bombproof. Mischka adds that the same theory applies to parties: People can spill.
All the entertaining and guests have even inspired them to create a bedding and bath line. Mischka has become a convert to the local food as well, having learned to make a mean Brunswick stew and declaring, Country ham is my new favorite ingredient. Badgley adds, We had a gang down for Thanksgiving last year. It was a novelty for them. By now, though, its home for him and Mischka. Unless were working straight through, were here every weekend.

View the MittGetsWorse Project's full Facebook timeline
According to the Boston Globe, "A Boy Scout spokesman said the Republican candidate may have run afoul of the group's strict rule that board members support Boy Scout policies, including its ban on homosexuals. Asked about the policy in Tuesday's debate, Romney said, 'I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue.' But he then added, 'I feel that all people should be allowed to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.' 'From where I'm sitting, that doesn't appear to be a consistent statement,' said Richard Walker, the Boy Scouts' national spokesman. 'His second statement seems to be inconsistent with our policy and as a member of the executive board he is expected to support our policy.'" [Boston Globe, 10/27/94]

Your thoughts on Iconic Boyz?
Moving-picture-things can be over-used, too. But whatevs. You guys have obviously already had this discussion so it's pointless to have it again!
[Oprah .gif here]
I miss everything good.
Fine, I'll ask – what's the VforVgum crew?
Friday Fights were some of my favorite things©
Oh, no doubt. But being new to a new thing is different from being new to an established thing, y'know?
I might check it out but if not I'll always have the comments section and the RTs by the few Videogum monsters I follow on Twitter!
I always thought the chat was an invite only thing, which is why I never went? Also, it's super awkward to just be sitting in there watching conversations between people who know each other real well while waiting for your turn to jump in. On the other hand, I feel like getting into chat might make commenting more fun (I'm totally not in on the inside jokes and I don't know people's "personalities").
Other than that, more TV stuff.
I predict Abby Elliott is out (or, I hope she is), making way for Nasim Pedrad to move up to full cast. She's more than earned that spot.
"It's like Braille, but with butts."
There should definitely be a Bob's Burgers open thread every week, forever.
Most especially when his wife is pregnant with a daughter? Like, nope, she definitely wouldn't be understanding or sympathetic to that at all.
Mona Lisa Smile is amazing, if only for Ginnifer Goodwin being cast as "the fat girl". Haha, Hollywood! She got the last laugh though, cuz dude she ended up with was hot as eff.
Whoops, meant Green Lantern. Guess the terribleness of whatever it was that Seth Rogen did in that movie is still with me. I CAN'T SHAKE IT.
Just got home from seeing it and I can confirm that this is true. So much fun.
It's only downhill from here (sup, Transformers and Green Hornet).
If only for that booty.
ROSIE'S MOM. Oh boy. That lady.
First off, she happens to have one of my least favorite TV/movie tropes – the quirky lower-class woman with the masculine nickname. "Mitch"? Really? You might as well go all the way with it, The Killing, and give us more of that because it's not at all a lazy way to impart uniqueness on a character. What's that? There's also a lady in the show named "Reggie"? OF COURSE there is.
Second, if you want me to buy that the mother is solidly working-class, you might want to pick an actress whose face hasn't been injected and stretched six ways to Sunday. I hate saying that because it's so close to bodysnarking and that's not my thing, but . . . she's just so hard to look at sometimes.
ANYWAY, I agree that the sound was horrible. I only gathered that "El Diablo" was what the janitor whispered when Linden did that weird screen-fondling thing while rewatching that video.
That's exactly my point (and I think it's Gabe's too, in a roundabout way). Reality TV's NOT being forced on people – the people that tune in are actually *choosing* to do so, and most of them don't have a problem with it as an entity.
And because it doesn't cost a lot and people are into it, it's gonna stick around until something more popular / more profitable / of better quality comes along and proves that it can do everything reality TV could, except better. Or it'll just stick around until the fickle public decides it isn't something they want to see any more (example – variety shows).
The thing that bugs me about the whole "Reality TV is the worst thing to happen to society since polio" arguments is that people fail to realize reality shows flourish because people watch the SHIT out of them. ALL of them, regardless of their place in the 'hierarchy' (lol). Like, all the time.
If a genre of entertainment wasn't popular or profitable it wouldn't keep getting made. Reality TV brings in tons of viewers for very little overhead. No duh it's gonna to stick around. Degrading reality TV show hosts for taking a job a million other people would've taken if that guy hadn't is silly, and it's not going to improve people's tastes (which is a problematic way to think anyway).
Fuck. My comment seems so much more sarcastic without a .gif. But I really meant it!
Way to go.
"That was some sick weed. I'm totally stoned."
"Haha!" – Me, a person who lives in Boston.
Where's your bathroom?
Bath what?
What room?
What what?
That's what this pilot wants you to think!
Those kids actually were too young to hear about how Rosie dabbled in auto-erotic asphyxiation.
I don't get the feeling she's a Draper type. Like, yeah, Linden can get really into the details and put facts together others might miss, but she's shit when it comes to dealing with certain kinds of people – take the "interrogation" of Fake Robert Pattinson, the questioning of the high school kids about the dance, and her relationship with her kid as examples. She's out of touch.
That's why they gave her the street smart, former-undercover officer as a partner. The show needs that balance.

[quote postid="5578243" user="acanarelli"]You wrote,"For those worrying about the router, keep in mind this is not intended to replace (or even compete with) a full size router." Oh thanks, you put my mind at ease...but where does it say that? Where does it say that it's not intended to replace or even compete with a full size router. It says right in the description: "Powerful performance for most trimming, small edge forming, decorative woodworking, and hinge routing" This indicates "small" jobs which implies that this would not compete with a full size router. It doesn't come right out and say the words but it seems to get pretty descriptive on what they think the uses of this tool are. Also by the fact that you yourself posted earlier your doubts about an 800rpm router even comparing to your other routers makes me think that you already know this. It also makes me wonder why you are attacking a poster that was kind enough to share some experienced thoughts. By the way, I know it doesn't say it on the box but this does not make a very good hair dryer.
I got this drill/combo kit for xmas last year. I don't have these specific attachments - I have the circular saw, multi-tool, and sander. The drill/driver is very good for household use. Plenty of power for a cordless and this is a good deal just for that. I must confess I don't use the other attachments too often. The saw is only good for trim - it is too small to use for anything else, and the multitool is a little awkward to use - but I have used them both in a pinch and it is nice to be able to switch the tools out. I'd like to be able to get more of the attachments (like this router and impact driver) but they go for about $50 each and I'm not sure they're worth it. The battery is good till the last drop, but dies without warning - that is the nature of the lithium ion batteries - so it's a good idea to have a 2nd one handy. All in all this is a pretty nice tool to have around the house.

Whoopsie-daisy! The one WE are talking about here today (at this location and temporal sphere) is battery operated, except for the charger, which is surprisingly AC line powered, as opposed to dilithium crystal powered, as any decent charger should be. Battery operated, battery operated, batt...
Was in the market for this product 6mo ago and they were hard a heck to source. Stores seemed to indicate they were discontinuing the line, which in turn causes concerns for further attachments and support. And as a few other people mentioned, B&D products are entry level at best these days and almost guaranteed to failure sooner than the competition.
You couldn't be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful.
conanthelibrarian wrote:Let's check out the product page for the router attachment
Yah - max speed with 20V is 9000 - not nearly fast enough to do a decent job of routing (can you say "chatter marks all along the rout?).... Is this what happens when the product ideas come from outsourced teams in India??? Must pass on this drain bammaged concept.
acanarelli wrote:Oh thanks, you put my mind at ease...but where does it say that? Where does it say that it's not intended to replace or even compete with a full size router.
It doesn't say that - but it is a known difference. I don't expect them to highlight the areas their product doesn't excel at nor do I expect them to say you should buy a different product if you need to perform specific tasks... because their goal is to sell as many of these as they can. However anyone who has used a real router will tell you that for many jobs you need a lot of power - this is why battery operated routers are typically of the handheld, laminate trimmer variety. "Real" routers are primarily corded because they need larger motors and more current than batteries can easily provide. That said, for quick jobs like routing recesses on door frames indoors... and small cordless router might be handy. I just think people who look at this need to be aware that the term "router" can and does mean a few different things. Heck - the baseplate size alone is more than enough to convince me this isn't mean for serious use.
Oops, made a mistake. Drill IS battery operated...not corded. Sorry about that!
Just purchased this exact drill at Walmart, came with LED light for $69.95, that's their retail. The drill and light works fine for light to medium duty work, great for the home. 20V provides plenty of power. Not sure how the router performs. I'm thinking if you need a router than buy a router. At 79.99 this is still a good deal but again do need a router? A portable LED light for me is the better deal from Walmart.
darks1lenc3 wrote:Bought this drill (not the impact wrench combo) from Home Depot earlier this year to help with construction on my college senior engineering design project because we kept getting tied down with the corded drill (pun intended haha). I believe I paid $59.99 +tax for it. The battery lasted about 3 days with heavy usage, it probably lasts longer with moderate/occasional usage. Doesn't take too long to charge either. The torque setting is great so you don't strip screws. The drill will also just stop when the battery is too low, it doesn't slow down before finally stopping, so you don't really get a warning before it's going to stop working and you have to charge it. I've used the Ryobi ONE+ system in the past as well during high school and I think this B&D Matrix system is awesome, and just as good, if not better. I plan on getting some of the other attachments as well (jigsaw, circular saw, sander) sometime in the future.
When you say that the battery lasted 3 days, does that mean it died altogether or just needed recharging after 3 days of use?
mattryan wrote:They have just fallen from where they used to be. If you want quality, go with Ryobi.
I was just asking myself why B&D had gone so far down in quality when I read the Sunday ads. It's really too bad that Ryobi (what kind of name is that?) is better in terms of quality. Plus, the thought of using this thing as a router is laughable.

It needed recharging, it didn't completely quit out. sorry if that wasn't clear. haha
RogerB wrote:I am going to have to disagree with the coffee maker.
We had the OLD B&D under the counter coffee maker for years and years. Wonderful. Finally died and we got the the new version. NIGHTMARE. Terrible mounting. Terrible controls. Had a tendency to dump coffee all over the counter. Or the Christmas presents we stupidly place there one morning. Not even the same species as the original. Returned it, got a second one--just as bad. Finally ended up getting the old (pre-B&D getting in bed with Satan version) from EBAY and it worked fine. And that's just one of many products they produce that had similar results. If it's Orange and Black, put it back. Seriously. HATE HATE HATE B&D.
B&D products have always been good to me. I've had the Ryobi plus chargers and I wouldn't buy one again. Have had problems with batteries holding a charge and chargers even working. Were I to go cordless again, I'd consider the B&D. Otherwise, like others, I would stick to corded power tools for projects such as a router.
Anyone else get theirs yet? I'm a little confused. I got a small box with only the router attachment. Edit: Just got a second woot tracking number, this time from UPS. Guess at least some of the stuff is shipping separately.
I just got mine, it all came in one package. Unfortunately I got 2 Impact Drivers and 0 Drills. Black & Decker, you crazy. If anybody out there got 2 Drills and 0 Impact Drivers... hi!

Beautiful weekend forecasted
After several days of clouds and rain it appears we're going to have another beautiful weekend weather-wise. Unless the rain has washed it out I believe it will be a peak weekend for fall colors in the North Carolina Mountains.
I won't be heading that way this weekend. I was more then pleased with the abundance of color we found during last weeks trip (see photos above.)
I'm honor again in being asked to take photographs for the Rowan Helping Ministries Annual Calendar. Last year's theme was volunteers and the community. This year we're honoring the founding and current supporting churches. Yesterday, I received the list of the 20 selected churches for photographing. To stay on schedule I'll need to photograph them all within the next 10 days so I can have some time with post-processing. The calendar will be printed in black and white so I'm looking forward to working with them on that.
Even with busy servers generating "internal error messages" I upgraded to OS X 10.7.2 Lion on my computers, and OS 5 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 1 on Wednesday. Of course this was the iCloud release as well, and while I haven't had time to really experience it enough to form a clear opinion the possibilities look promising. If Apple handles the performance, scaling and security correctly this could be a killer application/feature.
Have a good weekend!

I have about 40 Ivy Geraniums that I'd like to overwinter. I have no Basement or any room to keep them. The only thing I have is my Garage. Can anyone give me an Idea on what the best way is to keep them? Also, may sound dumb now, but how and where do I clip the Plants to make new ones? Hope anyone can help me, Thanks! |

Cague, you don't say where it is you live...so let's assume its a zone 5 or 6 area and you cant grow your pelargoniums outside year round but must bring them inside before being hit by frost. Forty plants...that's a lot of color...a lot of plants to deal with. You'd have to have the space indoors to properly keep them going through winter. What is more important is the sunlight that the plants must have and round about mid October through until mid February, the sun's values are much diminished. So that brings about how to save them. The usual method of cutting them back prior to bringing them in and placing them in the best window you have...south, east or west is OK....north...wont do. Keep them going as they will and let them grow until you can use them for cuttings. Or take cuttings right away. The method of placing them in a cool basement is not available for you. Around the box you place a large plastic garbage bag...enveloping the whole box...then surround that with burlap. This should be sufficient to keep the plants from being touched by frost. The plants must be in a dry state before going into such plastic bag. Moist plants, placed in a closed bag (especially plastic) will certainly be in jeopardy due to mildew and/or mold. Further, you can arrange a light bulb...s bare light bulb above the box/es to turn on at night during the coldest times. This can keep the area warm enough to shrug off any inteseness of cold. This sounds to me like a lot of work for all 40 plants...but if you can provide for them, you should be able to bring them back for next spring. They then go back outside when you plant your annuals. |

My father-in-law recommended putting fruit trees on a berm to improve drainage. Anyone else heard of this or had experience doing this? |

Yes. It puts the root crown above the sog. |

Olpea has an entire orchard planted in this manner. You have to avoid the wet feet and a berm is one way to accomplish that. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 18, 14 at 13:21
For most fruit trees, you have to prevent "wet feet" or soggy earth around the root system. Berms function much like a raised garden bed by raising the soil level and allowing the upper portion of the roots and the crown to be above the soggy ground. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 18, 14 at 15:28
For some species, like peaches, it is extremely helpful even when drainage is pretty good. |
Thank you! So if berms are like raised beds, will they reduce the ability of my trees to make it through a cold winter? My sister noticed in her raised beds that she couldn't over winter her carrots. How would you prevent soggy feet otherwise? My soil has high clay content but with lots of rocks, especially where we are doing our fruit trees. We're thinking a pear, an apple, a peach, and maybe an apricot. |
My guess would be that type of soil is best suited for the pear and second best for the apple. I would put those two in your worst locations and save your best locations with the greatest drainage for the peach and apricot. If you go to most abandoned homesteads and look at their orchard you will typically still see a pear tree growing. When I bought my place many years ago a pear was still here from the original homesteaders. It was reported to be well over a hundred years old. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 8:22
I believe that it is not freezing roots that usually kill fruit trees in extreme weather, it is the death of above ground cambium. In wet soils the roots grow close to the surface anyway and trees are more likely to die prematurely in any case- so having them in berms would likely improve their chances for survival in extreme weather. If you have any doubt, just use an airy mulch for insulation. You are in a Z6 like myself and I've not experienced weather that extreme in the several decades I've lived here. A test winter in a Z5 can sometimes kill peach trees. |

« November 2012 Table of Contents
At Regal Springs' tilapia farms on the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, tilapia grows in large floating cages to minimize pollution in local waters and the company regularly tests water quality. Every bit of fish waste and effluent is used somehow — whether in composting, rice field irrigation, collagen production or the biodiesel fuel that powers farm generators and trucks, says Magdalena Wallhoff, the Miami company's VP of sales.
Water pollution — along with use of chemicals and antibiotics, fish escapes and the social conditions of workers — is one of the key areas addressed in standards to minimize environmental harm in fish farming and certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
On Aug. 20, Regal Springs' tilapia products became the first farmed seafood on the market to be ASC-certified.
And tilapia isn't the only species to earn the new eco-label: The Tan Hoa farm of the Vinh Hoan Corp. in Vietnam in June became the first to be audited to ASC pangasius standards. At press time, pangasius products had not yet reached the market, but were expected to as early as this fall.
Initial European sales of certified products are going well, says Wallhoff.
"We want to see what happens in a few months. How are the orders going to continue now that the hype has died down?" says Wallhoff. A Dutch media outlet covered the introduction and some of the retailers and seafood companies promoted it with POS displays and press releases.
Albert Heijn, the largest seafood retailer in the Netherlands, is one of the retailers carrying the tilapia under its private-label brand. The company works with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a co-founder of the ASC, on its seafood sourcing policies. Retailers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Spain and Canada are carrying the certified tilapia. Jumbo, a Dutch supermarket company, is carrying the certified product, says Wallhoff, as are German seafood companies TopSea, Costa and Bofrost.
The market milestone offers seafood buyers a third-party certification option for farmed seafood designed to parallel that of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for wild fish. It has been in the works for nearly a decade, starting with roundtable talks with buyers, producers, scientists and environmentalists that tackled environmental problems linked to fish farming. The WWF-led Aquaculture Dialogues created standards that spell out and define responsible production. WWF is also a co-founder of the MSC.
"The introduction of the ASC tilapia in advanced markets as Germany and the Netherlands this summer was successful," says Chris Ninnes, the council's CEO. "The presence of ASC tilapia is from the start very prominent. We also expect a lot from the introduction of ASC pangasius in the market. The volumes are far bigger."
ASC expects the first certified farmed shrimp and salmon products to reach the market next year. "We will make major steps," Ninnes says.
Salmon standards were most recently finalized in June, and other standards have been developed for bivalves and abalone. Still in the works: shrimp, freshwater trout, amberjack and cobia.
The standards promote remedial measures and steps to limit phosphorus and nitrogen loading on the environment, like treatment systems between the growing facility and natural receiving waters.
Another step given consideration in the standards is recycling effluent in other biologic systems, as Regal Springs is doing. The standards give tilapia producers until 2014 to source feed containing fishmeal or fish oil from fisheries certified as sustainable by ISEAL.
None of Regal Springs' conservation practices are new, says Wallhoff.
"We didn't change anything to get ASC-certified. It was a lot of checking checklists. It didn't require overhauling anything," she says. Regal's two farms are ASC-certified and produce for the U.S. and European markets, but only products for the European market carry the necessary chain-of-custody for ASC labeling. Regal would not divulge the cost premium represented in the price of the certified product.
The company decided to pursue certification because it already considered itself a leader in the way it farms, making every effort to balance the needs of local communities and the environment. In short, it was already paying higher costs of production, she says.
"Why would we wait for someone with lesser quality to pay for the certification?" says Wallhoff.
Regal is taking a wait-and-see approach for the U.S. market: "We want to see how customers react to the opportunity to buy it," says Wallhoff, noting that about 10 years ago Regal secured organic certification for its fish via Natürland but found some retailers balked at the price premium.
"Back then the market was clearly not ready," says Wallhoff. "I'm curious as to how it's going to be now."

WASHINGTON, June 15, 2012 - "This is not amnesty, this is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix. This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people."
That is how President Obama described his administration's decision to begin a policy to cease the deportation of 800,000 young foreign nationals in the country without proper documentation and authorization. The
This morning, Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano announced that the federal government will begin granting 2-year renewable work permits to those young people.
The President's remarks were interrupted by journalist and conservative writer for The Daily Caller Neil Munro who shouted "foreigners over American workers" at Obama before the President could tell him he will not be interrupted while speaking.
Some are calling the move a political one to placate the Hispanic base which many say will be the demographic and voting bloc that would decide the 2012 presidential election. Certainly, it leapfrogs a plan Republican Senator Marco Rubio (FL) had been drafting which would have granted certain rights for children of undocumented and illegal immigrants.
Several have cried foul and denounced the move as an overreach of Presidential authority saying that only Congress can grant relief to illegal immigrants. They say the government will now have to start providing public benefits, like welfare and food stamps and the move will take jobs away from Americans.
First, relief required today does not grant rights to any benefits other than the benefit of paying taxes and contributing to the social security system. Last time checked, revenues and social security could use a boost.
Second, when several local jurisdictions and states put in place laws to drive out their illegal immigrant population, businesses closed down and others complained that the American workers who took their place asked for too many breaks, didn't show up for work, demanded much and did little, had poor work ethic and some simply thought the work was beneath them.
The majority of jobs taken by immigrants include low-pay, low-wage jobs, picking fruit, working long hours doing back breaking work gardening, cleaning homes and caring for the elderly in nursing homes – jobs many Americans refuse to do.

And to all those who decry that law breakers are being rewarded and that they are taking jobs away from Americans under this Democratic president, please recall that in 1986 Republican President Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to 2.7 million illegal immigrants.
Indeed the American immigration system is broken. However, recent trends show things are changing. A recent PEW Hispanic Center study showed a net gain in immigrants from
"[T]oday, there are fewer illegal crossings than at any time in the past 40 years," the President said during his White House Rose Garden remarks this afternoon.
Still a PEW Research Center study indicated that there are an estimated 11.9 million illegal immigrants in the
However, it is also still worth also reminding Americans, as this blog noted on this subject two years ago, this is a nation predominantly made up of immigrants whose ancestors would likely not qualify to enter America under today's standards that require an American sponsor via marriage or work.
In the day gone by, when families arrived in the
As numerical limitations were instituted and certain immigrants were restricted from entering the
The definition of who was "legal" and who was "illegal" changed with the evolution of immigration laws. In fact, many American families might not have been allowed to enter the
Furthermore, throughout history early immigrants, many from
The Immigration Policy Center writes:

Today, roughly 65,000 undocumented youth graduate from high school every year.
"It makes no sense to expel talented young people, who, for all intents and purposes, are Americans — they've been raised as Americans; understand themselves to be part of this country — to expel these young people who want to staff our labs, or start new businesses, or defend our country simply because of the actions of their parents," Obama said.
And for certain, while some say immigration is a state issue, in recent years, states themselves have recognized that it is not in their economic interest to wholesale block young immigrant kids from college.
The Utah legislature had to backtrack on a plan to remove its in-state policy when it realized it risked losing 1.5 million in tuition revenue from those students had it not reverted its policy. In fact, recognizing the value of the tuition dollars and contribution, 10 states, including
Indeed, immigrants wanting to educate themselves create real value to the economy and society that cannot be denied.
In the end, without a policy that would enable more to attend college, Americans would still lose out as our safety and security would be compromised by those opting for a more dangerous route. Furthermore, the cost of prosecuting and deporting any youthful offenders would also bear a burden on our economy.
That was the calculus that the administration made in coming to its decision today, of course without retribution. Certainly, we can expect judicial challenges, protest and other responses to this move.
In the meantime, today is a day for thousands of young people facing deportation to rejoice in the knowledge they won't be returned to a home they know little to nothing about and begin contributing their part to building the economy.
We educated them and it's the least they can do to give back, right?

FAMU police records show hazing complaints
ORLANDO, Fla. — Documents show that Florida A&M University police investigated at least 10 complaints about hazing involving the school's famed marching band between August 2007 and November, when a band member died after being hazed, the Orlando Sentinel reported Saturday.
The newspaper reported (http://thesent.nl/xFhgoU) that it received the campus police documents through a public records request.
Among the documents is a complaint from former FAMU student Bria Shante Hunter days before alleged hazing ceremonies Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 left her with a broken leg. Three students have been charged with hazing Hunter.
Hunter told campus police that she complained to a band employee during a band trip to South Carolina around Oct. 22 about being "battered" earlier in the semester during an initiation by a group affiliated with the band, the documents show.
Chuck Hobbs, an attorney for longtime band director Julian White, said that if the employee heard a complaint about hazing, he should have reported it.
"Protocol dictates that band staff, upon receiving reports of hazing, are required to report them to Dr. White, who immediately reports any alleged incidents to FAMU police," Hobbs said.
White was not informed of any hazing involving Hunter until her parents contacted him about her injuries in November, Hobbs said.
White is on administrative leave.
The documents detail hazing Marching 100 band members reported in the years before Robert Champion died in November. Authorities are still investigating Champion's death on a charter bus during a band trip to Orlando.
On Aug. 25, 2007, the mother of a clarinet player complained to campus police that her daughter was hospitalized after being hit with a clothes hanger and other items during band practice, according to the documents.
It's unclear whether anyone was disciplined for that incident. Later that month, after a freshman reported being hit on the elbows with the metal portion of a musical instrument's mouthpiece, two seniors were suspended from the band, and two people were later arrested, the records show.
One man was charged with battery after allegedly hitting another student twice in the face on Sept. 18, 2007, calling him a racial slur and demanding that he quit the band, the records show.
The documents show that one campus police investigation was prompted by a letter from FAMU President James Ammons' office in late 2007. The result of that investigation was not available.
After Champion's death, Hobbs wrote Ammons a letter stating that hazing had been met with "reckless indifference by White's superior officers who often ignored his requests for assistance," according to the records.

Last month, the Halo 2 hype machine started off slow, with teaser ads in print magazines. "They don't want to destroy our planet," read the copy on the first page, "just mankind." The second page featured the now-iconic Halo 2 logo, with the tagline, "On November 9th, Earth will never be the same."
Now Microsoft is stepping things up a notch. Starting today, a Halo 2 trailer will be unspooling in movie theaters nationwide. Though limited to 1,500 Loews Cineplex Entertainment cinemas, the trailer will be attached in front of some of the summer's highest-profile releases. Spider-Man 2, The Village, King Arthur, Catwoman, Alien vs. Predator, and I, Robot will all be preceded by a brief snippet of Master Chief vs. Covenant action in said selected theaters.
The cinematic Halo 2 trailer was created by The Ant Farm, the well-regarded Hollywood chop shop that created previews for The Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man 2, Shrek, Kill Bill, and the Harry Potter series.
If you're not going to be near a theater anytime soon, you can check out a dropshipful of trailers, real-time demos, gameplay footage, and developer interviews on the Halo 2 movies page.

The Mesa Unified School District governing board told school leaders Oct. 2 to look at removing unused and older portable classrooms from elementary schools to help deal with pockets of declining enrollment in the district.
The five-member board also asked Superintendent Mike Cowan and his team to consider creating "boutique" schools-within-schools to offer communities programs they may want without pulling those students from their neighborhood schools.
The district has lost about 9,000 students in the last 10 years and has taken several steps to address that enrollment decline, from moving ninth graders to the high schools to closing three junior highs.

Basin Electric and its members are engaged in a variety of conservation and energy efficiency programs. The programs and activities were developed to promote, support and market dual heat, water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioning, storage heating, grain drying, irrigation, photovoltaics, energy audits, and numerous other programs.
Many of the programs are generic and are used throughout the region, while other programs of Basin Electric's members represent the circumstances of their specific service territory and the policies developed by their respective boards of directors (video). This results in considerable diversity in the respective programs. As an example, some may elect to use rebates, others use energy resource conservation (ERC) loans or rates, and some, all three.
Rebate programs represent one example of the diversity in the cooperative programs. The individual members target various types of electric heat, electric water heaters, air conditioning, grain drying, irrigation and photovoltaic programs.
ERC or low-interest loans are also provided and represent a source of low-cost financing available to consumers for energy efficiency improvements to their residences, farms or businesses. Established by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), this option allows the cooperatives to defer the principal payment on a portion of their loans. These deferred principal payments can be used to finance low-interest loans to the cooperative members. The normal loan term is five years and must be made for energy efficiency conservation programs such as heat pumps, dual-heat applications, storage heat, weatherizing/insulation or off-peak grain drying.
The cooperatives are actively involved in a wide range of energy conservation and efficiency programs. Large expenditures and considerable staff time have been dedicated to these programs. The cooperatives' programs continue to evolve, expand, and develop as demonstrated by the increasing number of heat pump installations, continuing energy audits and new activities. Member conservation and efficiency programs fall into four main categories:
Basin Electric members work for and support programs to promote the conservation of electrical energy that includes the widespread understanding, participation and involvement of the member-consumers of the cooperative. Our member cooperatives:

I live in Austin, TX and just bought some canna bulbs. It's mid May and 90 degrees. Is it too late to plant them? If so, can I keep them in my garage and plant them next spring? |

Austin, Texas has a very long growing season for cannas. They need to be planted now and not stored until next season. Cannas love the heat as long as they have plenty of water and nutrients. Kent |

yes if I'm not mistaken cannas are to be planted after last average last frost if I'm not mistaken you ar e in zone 9 there for plant in march |
In Sun City Arizona the winter's average temp is in the 70's. We have an atrium that is protected from the chill that normally happens on a January and February evening. The temp now in late October is in the mid 80's. I've seen Canna bulbs for sale on ebay. If I plant these canna bulbs in early November will they grow and bloom if they aren't exposed to any cold temperatures. |

Im in zone 6B and my canna are still blooming, with 2 frosts already. I think if you get some of the tougher types they will take a frost or 2 and low temps with no problem. avg nighttime temps have been in the 50's here and they blooms keep on comming |
- Posted by shellie911 6a (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 10:53
My canna's only got about a foot high and never bloomed. I had them on the north side of the house and watered them plenty. We didn't have a regular flowe bed, just dug some holes in the yard and added potting soil. Could this be my problem? We rent and didn't want to invest to much into a flower bed. |

Variants of AVERROËS
Rhymes with AVERROËS
biographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)(born 1126, Córdobadied 1198, Marrakech, Almohad empire) Spanish Arabic philosopher. Trained in law, medicine, and philosophy, he rose to be chief judge of Córdoba, an office also once held by his grandfather. His series of commentaries on most of the works of Aristotle, written between 1169 and 1195, exerted considerable influence on both Jewish and Christian scholars in later centuries. While mostly faithful to Aristotle's thought, he endowed the Aristotelian prime mover with the characteristics of the Plotinian (see Plotinus) and Islamic transcendent God, the universal First Cause. In his Commentary on Plato's Republic he attempted to apply Platonic doctrines to the contemporary Almoravid and Almohad states. See also Arabic philosophy.
