Talk about reeling one in.
Hilary Swank stopped by the Pure Food Fish Market – a fourth generation fish market out of Seattle's world-famous Pike Place Market – on Monday to stock up on seafood and pose with quite the catch.
The Million Dollar Baby star – who divulged she was having a dinner party – purchased fresh king salmon, scallops, king crab, oysters and mussels.
"She was absolutely delightful," fishmonger Tom Sackville-West told PEOPLE.
Later, Swank posed for a photograph – with a big thumbs up – beside Sean Lakeside, Sr., who has been working at Pure Food Fish Market for 30 years.

Harley Pasternak Blogs: 3 Exercises for Strong, Toned Arms
Originally posted 09/11/2013 03:00PM
There was a time when I would only hear my male clients talk about how they wanted fit, chiseled arms. Nowadays, almost all of my female clients are adamant about having strong, sculpted arms, and that's thanks, in part, to the über-fit actresses dominating the movie screens of the '90s and early 2000s.
The incredible arms of Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby, Halle Berry in Catwoman, Demi Moore in G.I. Jane, Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich, and Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider, all inspired women to lose the sleeves and focus on making their arms as amazing as the rest of their bodies.
There are two main muscle groups in the arms: The biceps, which are located on the front of the upper arms; and the triceps, which are on the back of the upper arms. The main function of the biceps is to bend the elbow, while the triceps straighten the arm at the elbow.

Two events-800m and 1,500m have been added the programme for the fifth National Bank/Athletics Kenya meeting in Mombasa this weekend.
AK public relations officer Peter Angwenyi yesterday said the meet, which was meant to feature purely sprints and field events competition, has now been expanded to accommodate 800m and 1,500m in the programme.
"We want the event to be as competitive as the rest and we are asking all our athletes from the 100m to 1500m as well as participants in field events to turn up in large numbers," said Angwenyi.
"It will be the first time we will be hosting such an event at the coast and this shows how serious we are in developing sprint athletes," said Angwenyi. "Taking part in a low altitude event is very good for these kind of athletes and they should therefore treat it with seriousness it deserves."
He said AK are happy with the kind of competition the weekend meets are generating as they have seen the emergence of young athletes, who are threatening to topple their more experienced counterparts.
Last weekend's meeting in Kitale saw some big names like Olympic champion Asbel Kiprop, two-time world 3,000m steeplechase champion Ezekiel Kemboi and world bronze medallist Janet Jepkosgei falling to minnows.
Kiprop tripped and failed to finish in the 800m final race that was won by little-known Evans Kosgei while Jepkosgei finished sixth in the women's 1,500m final, which was won by Eunice Sum. Kemboi could not go past the heats in the men's 1,500m race.
Among those expected in Mombasa are winners from last weekend's meeting including women's 100m and 200m winner Damaris Mbula. Other sprinters expected are Regina Mulatia, Sharon Wafula, Elizabeth Nyongesa and Milca Wamaitha.
Mombasa show will feature the likes of Emmanuel Leli, Bernard Simiyu, Jason Oketch, Bernard Simiyu, Naphtali Mureithi, Alex Sang and Gedion Kirui, who will combine both 100m and 200m races. After Mombasa, the meeting will move to Mumias between April 20 and 21.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks manager Gibson: Biggest issue is that Ryan Braun lied
Over the weekend, Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson made headlines when he talked about his desire to talk to suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun.
"If I get a chance to see Braun, I've got a question for him right to his face, you know?" Gibson was quoted saying Sunday before the D-backs squared off with the Pittsburgh Pirates. "Is he about rehearsed by now, you think? About ready to come out? He's probably practicing at the theater school somewhere. Just you look at how things like that can influence people's opportunities and an opportunity to do something like that."
Given an opportunity to elaborate on what, exactly, he would ask the disgraced Braun, Gibson was not exactly forthcoming.
"Well, when I get the chance to talk to him I'll keep that personal between us," he told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Tuesday. "I may never get the chance but, you know, if it happens it will be done tastefully and I'll address him directly.
"I'll be interested to hear what he has to say. If I don't get a chance to do it, the game will go on."
Gibson and his Diamondbacks have a bit more invested in the Braun saga than most, as the Brewer's offensive onslaught in the 2011 National League Divisional Series (.500 batting average, one home run, four RBI) directly led to Arizona's ouster from the postseason.
The skipper, who is currently trying to navigate his team through a tough stretch that has seen them fall to the outside of the 2013 playoff picture after leading the NL West for the bulk of the season, finds it most troubling that Braun lied to everyone when he was first accused of using performance enhancing drugs.
"When he had the big thing in Maryvale," Gibson said. "Supposedly he tested positive, he went to Maryvale in Spring Training, gave this big, rehearsed speech to everybody, and now it turns out it's a lie."
Gibson was offended by the fact that Braun continued to lie in other settings, which is why he would like to chat with the 29-year-old. And, the outfielder may have cost someone a shot at a career-defining moment.
"I think many players that he's played against have been maybe, possibly denied that moment," Gibson said.
Moment or not, Gibson added that Braun did not cost the Diamondbacks that playoff series.
"We had our chances, and we've overcome things like that in the past," he said. "That night, we didn't overcome it."

This is an interesting matchup for a lot of reasons.
This game will be a measuring stick for how the Broncos might do in the playoffs. I think the Jets and the Bears had top defenses in the league - the Patriots will have a top offense and the Belichek mystique. A win here and the Broncos have a chance at moving up in the playoff seedings - as the Broncos will be favored in their final two games.
The Broncos ought to be able to run on these guys (though I don't think McGahee was at top form against the Bears) - if they can - they can control the clock. From what I can tell the Bronco defense plays much better on the shy side of 30 minutes - than they do when they have to get out to the field all the time. If McGahee can't carry the ball like he should - I wish the Broncos would just give Lance Ball and Jeramiah Johnson the ball more often. Ball has a pretty good burst.
Stopping Gronk will be the toughest thing to accomplish. I had a plan to swap him for his twin brother who was here, but you all laughed at me.

Apple Sued By Belgian Consumer Association For Not Applying EU Warranty Laws 290 290
from the regulation-is-only-ok-if-it-benefits-us dept.
As far as I know, most "EU law" is actually EU guidelines that are put into national laws by the member states.
Was I correct to read that in a pirate voice?
Does this mean secondhand sales are illegal?
No the 2 year warrenty is only for new goods. And if you sell secondhand within the 2 years the original warranty(The one you got when you bought the product as new) will stil cover the product.
And I need to ask: What kind of electronic products do you buy which are expected to break down within a year?
Anything made by Apple?
Declaration of Interest: posted in part (about 20%) to annoy my daughter who likes her mac.
Heh, only in the US people vehemently argue for their right to get screwed.
Customers are willing to pay their own kidneys for apple products. Maybe they'll toss in an extra spleen too.
If Apple thought that their customers would pay an extra spleen don't you think they'd be charging it already?
The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.

How To: Freeze Zucchini
Around this time of year, there's so much zucchini coming in that you start hearing stories of people leaving anonymous bags of zucchini and summer squash on doorsteps just to get rid of it!
While there are plenty of zucchini recipes out there if you find yourself the recipient of such a gift, don't forget to put some of your hoard away for the winter months. Here's how!
Though you can technically freeze zucchini as is, we recommend taking the time to blanch it first. Blanching inactivates the enzymes that cause the vegetable to become mushy and discolor over time, even in the freezer.
Put a large pot of water over high heat and set another bowl with ice water near the stove. Have a slotted spoon handy to scoop the zucchini out of the pot.
While you're waiting for the water to boil, chop your zucchini into rounds, wedges, or any other shape you normally cook with. Remember that you're going to be dumping the frozen zucchini directly into the soup or stir-fry you'll making, so aim for uniform bite-sized pieces.
When the water comes to a boil, add your cut vegetables to the pot and begin timing. You're going for crunchy al dente. For small wedges like those shown here, test them after a minute. For larger rounds, it will take more like 1-2 minutes.
Note: Unlike blanching vegetables that you'll eat right away, this blanching water should be unsalted. In this case, salt absorbed into the vegetables would cause the cell walls to keep breaking down over time, which would result in the kind of mushy veggies we're trying to avoid.
Scoop the vegetables out of the water and transfer them immediately to the water bath to stop the cooking and then drain. For large amounts of zucchini, do this in several batches.
If we have the time and energy, we like to spread the zucchini out in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet tray to freeze them before getting packed into bags. This prevents the pieces from freezing to each other and makes for more even cooking on the other end.
Otherwise, you can transfer the drained zucchini right into bags and tuck them into your freezer. Keep them toward the back of your freezer where the temperature is more constant.
There's nothing like summer squash in the middle of winter to lift your spirits, guaranteed!

I am having a problem with content added to the Content Manager. I downloaded all of the free Gen 4 figures back when Daz offered them and have installed them in to Daz Studio 4.5. I then added metadata to all of them and added them to the Content Manager to use with Smart Content.
The problem lies with several of the figures being "unselectable" therefore not filtering the Smart Content for that figure. Victoria 4, Aiko 4, Stephanie 4, SheFreak 4, and The Girl 4 all work fine. When I select one of these figures either by clicking her in the scene or selecting her in the Scene Pane, her materials, poses, etc show up just fine in the Content Manager.
However, Michael 4, Hiro 4, Freak 4 and The Kids 4 have the Actor selection greyed out (in the drop-down box of the Content Manager) and says "No Selection", thereby showing no content for them in the Content Manager.
I can load the figures through the Content Manager, but once loaded they are not showing as a selection. Make sense? I set up the metadata exactly the same as I did for the Victoria characters, but they are not working like the girls do.
I have removed the metadata, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc for these characters, and I have used the Content DB Maintenance to remove invalid paths, but to no avail.
Do I have outdated/bad files? These figures are no longer free, so I don't know what to do. I like the Content Manager and want to use it for all my figures. I know about using the File Manager, but don't want to go that way if I can help it.
I have also stopped and started the Content Management Service, so that isn't the problem.
I tried searching the forum and the knowledge base, but no luck. Any help would be great.

Although I'm a writer I know how to use design software and sometimes the big prize monies entice me to try my luck at Art Direction/Graphic Design. I usually fail miserably. Nonetheless, for the benefit of the designers out there, here's a quick review of three relevant sites. Whatever I have gathered from my trials will hopefully be useful info for you, who is reading this wonderfully named blog.
LogoTournament – Without any doubt, THE best logo crowdsourcing site. As their name suggests, they are very focused and do nothing other than logo creation. Not just anyone can join the site. You apply to join at the time of registration, give 3 samples of your best work and the community seniors then decide whether to let you in. I got in on my 2nd or 3rd attempt, but the standards were so high and the competition was so good that I got discouraged from entering any more contests. Their name like AgencyKillers.com is also very apt. In fact I wish one company would purchase all such domain names – LogoTournament, CopyTournament, AdTournament, PosterTournament. That way it would be like a group of sites that controls the crowdsourcing universe to allow clients, big and small, to replace their obsolete ad agencies. AdTounament exists, but the site's name is a misnomer. They do mostly logo contests, instead of Ad Concept, Ad Creation, Ad Campaign Ideation contests that one would expect from a site with such a name. Back to LT, I am so confident about the site and participating designers, that if I ever need a logo, I sure know where to go.
LogoSauce – It is a nice, neat, small, tidy, cozy site with a strong and closely-knit community of designers. One particular designer there is the superstar who keeps winning most of the contests, justifiably so as his/her designs are really awesome. I like the name LogoSauce, coz I like saucy food. But the real reason why I recommend this site is because they announce winners quick and their clients provide good and frequent feedback to the designers. I could list more reasons, but instead I suggest for anyone to visit the site themselves to experience the vibe and to get a feeling for the people behind it, which will be even more positive after using the site a few times. Nice too, is the community feeling among all logo designers, which is very present here. LogoSauce doesn't have as many listed competitions as on LogoTournament, but the very high design standards make up for it.
AdTournament – When I saw the name of this site, even before clicking on the link, I was excited beyond recognition. I thought finally, a site where I can enter ad ideas, i.e. nice subtle ads of the kind you see at AdsOfTheWorld.com. But my excitement was short lived. I quickly realized it was mainly just another logo design/logo crowd-sourcing site. To their credit, there have some t-shirt and print ad contests, but there were fewer than I had expected. I am looking for an ad-contest specific site (for the moment only VictorsAndSpoils & Boomideanet come to mind). I nonetheless tried my luck, so I entered a few logo and print ad contests, but did not win anything. They added some kind of gamification badges and points system where users earn amazon vouchers and what not, but it fails to be good and to encourage participation . Since my strike rate is 0 after multiple attempts I won't participate anymore. If it was my site, I'd run more ad concept competitions, which, given the site's name, probably was their initial vision. For a copywriter like myself, there just aren't enough pure idea generation or advertising campaign development sites out there.

71 Wildcats on 2013 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll
July 2, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - University of Kentucky Wildcats from all eight of UK's spring sports teams combined to earn a total of 71 spots on the Southeastern Conference Spring Sports Academic Honor Roll, Commissioner Mike Slive announced on Tuesday.
UK's honorees included 16 women's track and field team members, 14 from baseball, nine from softball, seven women's tennis players, eight men's track and field team members, six each from men's golf and men's tennis and five women's golfers.
A total of 1,247 student-athletes from around the league earned spots on the honor roll, which is based on grades from the 2012 summer, 2012 fall and 2013 spring terms. In order to make the SEC Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 grade-point average for the preceding academic year or his/her entire collegiate career, be at least a sophomore in academic standing, and meet additional qualifications.

Today's publication of Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter (Princeton University Press) by Jonathan Marc Gribetz, an assistant professor of Near Eastern studies and Judaic studies at Princeton, marks a minor miracle: it may well be the only book ever published with dust-jacket endorsements by both Ruth R. Wisse (a "brilliant study" and "an indispensable work") and Rashid Khalidi ("prodigious research"). The publisher calls it a "landmark book," one that "fundamentally recasts our understanding of the modern Jewish-Arab encounter."
This post is not intended as a review, but rather a reflection on one of Professor Gribetz's central insights. To call the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a "dispute over real estate," he writes, is like calling a fight over a family inheritance a "dispute over jewelry and china": in both cases, the description misses the crux of the matter. In his book, Professor Gribetz demonstrates that, from the beginning, the Jewish-Arab conflict was a "struggle over history and identity"–played out over land, but involving fundamental issues that have always transcended the apparent subject of the dispute.
In the early years, there were frequent expressions of commonality between Jews and Arabs, epitomized by the 1919 agreement between Chaim Weizmann, the head of the Zionist Organization, and Faisal Hussein, the leader of the Arabs. The agreement cited "the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people" and declared Arab support for the 1917 Balfour Declaration and Jewish support for an Arab state adjacent to Palestine. Faisal thereafter wrote to Felix Frankfurter (then also a Zionist leader) that "we Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement," and "will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home." That obviously did not last long.
Professor Gribetz ends his book by noting that while relations between Jews and Arabs worsened after 1919, his study itself shows that perceptions between peoples are not immutable; so it "stands to reason that they can improve as well." He does not address what might lead to such an improvement, but perhaps we can determine what will be necessary by viewing his central insight in light of the peace proposals in the decades following the period he covers.
The 1919 Weizmann-Faisal agreement was never implemented, but in 1921 Great Britain divided Palestine and gave half to Transjordan. In later years, there were numerous two-state solutions proposed for the remaining half of Palestine, all of which ended exactly as did the 1919 pact:
(1) In 1937, the Jews accepted the two-state solution proposed by the British Peel Commission; the Arabs rejected it;
(2) In 1947, the Jews accepted the UN's two-state solution; the Arabs rejected it;
(3) In 1967, Israel wanted to trade land for recognition and peace; the Arabs issued their three adamant "no's";
(4) In 1978, Israel agreed to Palestinian autonomy as part of the peace agreement with Egypt; the Palestinians rejected it;
(5) In July 2000, at Camp David, Israel offered the Palestinians a state; they walked away;
(6) In December 2000, Israel formally accepted the Clinton Parameters for a two-state solution; in January 2001, the Palestinians rejected them;
(7) In 2005, Israel removed every soldier, settler, and settlement from Gaza and turned the entire territory over to the Palestinian Authority; so far there have been three rocket wars on Israel from the land Israel gave the Palestinians to build a state;
(8) In 2008, the Israeli prime minister begged the Palestinian president to accept a two-state solution in which the Palestinians would get land equal to 100 percent (after swaps) of the West Bank and Gaza; the Palestinians walked away again;
(9) In 2009, the new Israeli prime minister formally endorsed a Palestinian state, implemented an unprecedented settlement construction freeze, and met a stone wall.
Nearly 100 years after the first two-state solution was endorsed by the Zionists, the current Palestinian president repeatedly states he will "never" recognize a Jewish state; refuses to endorse "two states for two peoples" as the goal of the peace process; and will not give a Bir Zeit speech to match the Israeli prime minister's 2009 Bar-Ilan address that endorsed a Palestinian state. He demands more of the remaining jewelry and china, while maintaining a "right to recover" the rest and repeatedly "reconciling" with those dedicated to killing the other side of the family.
The problem in that scenario is not the jewelry and china. Those who read Professor Gribetz's book will likewise learn that the real estate was not the heart of the initial Jewish-Arab encounter. Middle East peace will not arrive simply by drawing a line on a map, because the crux of this dispute has never been the real estate.

Geography of Uganda
Uganda is located in Eastern Africa, west of Kenya, south of South Sudan and east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is in the heart of the Great Lakes region, and is surrounded by three of them, Lake Edward, Lake Albert, and Lake Victoria. While much of its border is lakeshore, Uganda is landlocked with no access to the sea.
Despite being on the equator Uganda is more temperate than the surrounding areas due to its altitude. The country is mostly plateau with a rim of mountains. This has made it more suitable to agriculture and less prone to tropical diseases than other nations in the region.
The climate is tropical; generally rainy with two dry seasons (December to February, June to August). It is semiarid East Sudanian savanna in north near Sudan.
Geographic coordinates: 1°00′N 32°00′E / 1.000°N 32.000°E
Uganda's climate is tropical. This means it is generally rainy (particularly during the months of March to May, September to November), while the remaining months (December to February, June to August) comprise Uganda's two dry seasons.

opinionBy James Magode Ikuya
A section of Uganda's public has been fretting over the much-publicized "coup talk".
One DP legislator has characteristically filed a complaint in court charging Gen Aronda Nyakairima with treasonable intent. We are now promised legal fireworks in an appeal to the High court, following a preliminary dismissal of the case by the Nakawa Chief Magistrate's court.
The said "coup-talk" popped into the limelight from a presentation by Dr Crispus Kiyonga to a parliamentary committee where he intimated that the UPDF was closely monitoring events in Parliament. He warned of a possible risk of military intervention if MPs strayed out of step into causing public confusion.
President Museveni was also quoted in media reports to have echoed similar hints during the retreat of the NRM parliamentary caucus at Kyankwanzi. Gen Aronda was said to have demurred to the same.
The pedantic interpretation of the alleged "coup-talk" is that there was a suggestion for the unconstitutional and treasonable grabbing of power by the military. The alarm is then sounded to goad Ugandans into averting the feared military rule in defence of the present supposedly multiparty constitutional governance.
The snag with Uganda's shadowy 'bicupuli' politicians is that the significance of truly sobering occurrences is always read upside-down. Political reality is then grossly misplaced as to keep its clear and concise message unrecognizable by the populace.
President Museveni has been repeatedly on record vowing that no internal or external force could destabilize this country. He has been admonishing that anyone attempting to do so faces going six feet deep.
Moreover, Museveni has not been speaking out of idleness. He is known to have made clenched-fist measures to consolidate a tight grip on the UPDF through a number of open and covert stratagems. He is aware that his control is total. Therefore, Museveni would be the last to fear a military coup. Any mention of a coup can only be done under his authorization which, in any case, cannot be aimed at dislodging himself!
This is why the coup-talk should be understood for what it really is. It is simply a direct notice to the obstinate critics within the NRM to "shut up or else...."
So far, Museveni does not require a military showdown with the handful of noisy malcontents in Parliament. He is aware that the MPs do not constitute a formidable, organized political force or a military threat, since they have always been brow-beaten from unapproved ranks by the simple technique of glowering at them.
It is now open that that President Museveni desires a constitutional amendment to possess the power to declare Parliament dissolved. This will no doubt be faithfully granted. With this power, the wings of parliamentary resistance would be clipped by a mere 10am radio announcement instead of the deployment of arms, secretly and nocturnally.
In any case, even if Museveni was to declare the current Parliament dissolved outside any constitutional framework, there are enough politically dishevelled Ugandans who would cheer him up for doing so. The MPs have not distinguished themselves over any public concerns to attract widespread loyal following.
In 1966, Dr Obote disbanded Parliament. It was later recalled and allowed to renew its tenure of office upon condition of stamping a seal of approval of a new constitution the assembled MPs had not read. Our NRM struggle came to power in 1986 under the banner of its 10-point programme. We now have top people exercising power in the name of the NRM whose cozy minds cannot even pronounce the programme.
This is because the NRM did not succeed to institutionalize its ideals in practical organization. It became easy prey to brutal shifting of political stands that became a floodgate for 'harems', 'concubines' and misdeeds to take the stage in dishonouring its name as is prevalent today.
There has been no known coup attempt in Uganda since 1986. But major reverses of things have been effected with little whispers of protest from those who are agitating against the coup-talk.
Therefore, it is not military coups alone that undermine politics and democracy. It is the level of disorganization and powerlessness of our society. Instead of believing that judicial injunctions can outplay brandished military muscles, we should be examining how to raise the political strength of the people.
The solution lies in creating new types of leadership at all levels to guide the country's politics along a new course for salvage and renaissance.

ELIZABETHTON — Carter County Planning Director Chris Schuettler waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Sessions Court Wednesday morning on a theft over $1,000 charge. Judge John Walton bound the case to a grand jury and instructed Schuettler to report to Criminal Court on Nov. 22.
The charge stems from a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation review of Schuettler's employee cell phone records, which show calls billed from Lenoir, N.C., and Wilkesboro, N.C., during times when Schuettler's pay records indicated he was working in the county.
Schuettler's attorney, Tom Jessee, said he decided to waive the preliminary hearing after the state provided him with documents he had sought. Those documents included the time sheets and telephone call lists on which the state's charges are based.
"We were seeking those records and when the state provided them, we saw no reason to take up any more of the court's time," Jessee said later in the day. "These documents will make our defense a lot simpler."
In an earlier appearance in August, Jessee and Schuettler had appeared ready to contest the charges in a preliminary hearing. They came to the court with large maps, charts easels and other documents. The case was continued to November because of the large number of cases on the docket on that August day.
When he was first charged, Schuettler had said the case was "nothing more than another attack on me personally and professionally" by Mayor Leon Humphrey.
Humphrey said he was not out to get Schuettler but emphasized "public monies are to be handled with trust. It doesn't matter who you are. This seems to be a serious charge."
In an unrelated matter on the Sessions Court docket on Wednesday, Walton dismissed a second charge against Schuettler of allowing his animals to run at large. He said the case could be brought back as a civil case.

Blade tension and repositioning
The owners manual, for the EX-16, states that the knob on the back of the top arm, is used mainly to raise the top blade mount, as much as 1 inch, for the purpose of using a new section of blade when the first section used is worn out. The manual goes on to say the knob can also be used to "Fine Tune" the blade tension.
I'm a little apprehensive about turning this knob so much (to use a new section of blade), for fear I will not be able to find the correct starting point again for a brand new blade. Also, since blades are a fixed 5" length, wouldn't raising the upper blade mount move the arms too far apart to hold the blade properly?
Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Ed, I am by no means an expert, but, I have discussed this before with Ray @ Seyco and with others who use the Excalibur. The knob on the back is primarily used to raise the top arm. It should be parallel with the bottom at most times. I believe it is 2 3/4" from back to front. The vibration over a period of time will cause the knob to move back a little, so, I check mine every day to make sure it is level. Yes, you can tweek the tightness of your blade with the knob, but, remember, when you change blades, your arm is not level, so you must go back again to your "starting position". Since blades are not that expensive, I do not try to get extra usage out of them. I do not want to ruin a piece I have worked on for several hours just to save a few pennies. One trick I have learned is press down a little on the top arm when installing a blade and the tension is better and also, I sand the ends of the blade just slightly to remove any oils or residue and this keeps the blade from slipping. I also take a cotton swab with mineral spirits and clean the set screws and thumb screws on my blade holders and rub very slightly with a piece of 220 grit paper.

Amen to what Tony said. Use the back knob only to adjust the saw arm so it is parallel to the table. Once that is done if you do not have a mark on the back knob, make a mark that is dead center with the saw arm as you are looking down the arm so you can always tell if the knob has moved and so you can rapidly readjust it. Do not use the back knob for additional tension or to get any additional usage out of blades as the back knob will also adjust the front to back movement of the blade and possibly mess up your cuts, especially the fine fret cuts. I do something similar to Tony to clean my blades. When I open a 12 pack (blades) I soak the ends in denatured alcohol and wipe them dry and then prior to using each blade I lightly wipe with 220 grit sandpaper and if I sometime get slippage I will then work on the thumbscrew and set screw to clean any residue (oil or dust) off of them and buff the ends with 220 grit sandpaper. If you clean the blade ends, you will seldom have to mess with the thumb screw and set screw.

I'm excited to announce Mama in Heels' first giveaway; Kevin's Closet 2 oz Sweet Lemongrass Crème & Oil, and 1 oz Lemongrass Balm.
I've been asked to review some skincare products. If you have been following my blog you will know that most if not all of my skincare products are organic. When an opportunity came from Kevin's Closet I jumped at the chance after reviewing their products on their website. They believe in healthy living and their products are made with organic ingredients. They are working on getting their products USDA certified.
I was elated when I received the package. There it was; the body cream, body oil, and body balm in sweet lemongrass scent. The packaging was simple and clean. I loved the smell the minute I opened the bottles. I started lathering them from my body to my toes twice a day for the past couple weeks. I also used it on the boys after their baths. The bottom line is the products are non-toxic and they keep you hydrated throughout the day. Here are my opinions on the individual products that I tried:
- Body Oil 8 oz ($20): There are no cons for this baby! Love the smell. Did not feel greasy when applied. Kept my skin hydrated 24/7. My boys' skin felt softer after 1 week of use.
- Body Balm 6 oz ($12): There are no cons for this product either. Love the smell. For some reason I ended up using this as a lip balmer. Maybe because of the way it was packaged like a lip balmer? Anyhow, I loved it!
- Body Cream 8 oz ($22). I was slightly disappointed with the packing of the body cream. The cream itself was fine and kept my skin hydrated and smelled amazing! It was the cap on the bottle that I had to struggle to squeeze any cream out. I think maybe the cream is just too creamy. In my opinion I think it would have served well had it been bottled in a tube. Nevertheless, I loved it.
Overall, I think these products are good. I honestly think their prices are a bit steep compared to other organic products that I have used. Kevin's Closet is currently offering Mama in Heels readers a 10% discount at http://www.kevinsclosetboutique.com/ using coupon code of KCSAVE10.
You can also enter to win their 2 oz Sweet Lemongrass Crème & Oil, and 1 oz Lemongrass Balm. Here are the details on how you can enter. The winner will be announced on this website on Wednesday, February 20th at 9am PST! Good luck!
Disclaimer: I received these complimentary products from Kevin's Closet. This has no influence on my opinions.

From staff reports
The North Jefferson News
FULTONDALE — The Fultondale City Council passed a resolution at its regular meeting Wednesday that defines what businesses are considered to be "nightclubs" and also enacts strict regulations for them.
The resolution defines a nightclub as "any alcoholic beverage establishment where there is a band, orchestra or other form of music or musical entertainment and a floor space for dancing." City Attorney Charlie Waldrep said it might be possible for a business to become a nightclub temporarily simply by meeting the three criteria.
The resolution states that the "sale, service and consumption of alcohol after 8 p.m. creates public health, safety and welfare concerns, the city of Fultondale desires to ensure the sale, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages is done in safe manner."
Fultondale Mayor Jim Lowery said the resolution is modeled after other similar resolutions in Alabama Cities, including Birmingham. The resolution does not ban nightclubs outright.
Under the ordinance, nightclubs are required to have one security personnel for every 100 people occupying the business after 10 p.m. The security would also have to be trained by a "reputable company," and a certificate of training completion would have to be submitted to Fultondale's chief of police. Nightclubs are also required to have video surveillance and bar anyone 21-years-old or under from entering the business from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., unless the business has stopped serving alcohol during that time. All nightclubs would have to submit a security plan to the chief of police, fire marshal and building inspections officers for approval. Failure to follow the resolution's guidelines could result in alcoholic beverage licenses or permits being revoked by the mayor.
Lowery said the council was also considering amending its pool table ordinance to ensure it complies with the nightclub ordinance. The ordinance requires any business with a pool table and alcoholic beverages in the same location to appear before the council. Lowery said the council would be reviewing the pool table ordinance, and might ban pool tables and alcohol in the same business altogether; he said, although no such business is currently open in Fultondale, the city had had problems with them in the past.
In other business, the council:
• recognized several U.S. Hwy. 31 businesses for rebuilding since the April 27 tornadoes devastated their buildings. Lowery said the council would continue to recognize others, including homeowners, who rebuilt in future meetings. Whitworth, Inc., Jernigan Health Care, Inc. and TriGreen Equipment were all awarded with commemorative plaques by the council
• agreed to become a "conduit" for the Mt. Olive Senior Center, at the request of the Jefferson County Commission. Lowery said the Jefferson County Office of Senior Services requires a senior center to be attached to a governmental entity; as Mt. Olive is an unincorporated area, the senior center has been attached to Morris until now. Councilman Joe Bolton said the change would not cost the city any additional money.
• approved a business license for Superior Contractors of Alabama. The business is located at 1727 Decatur Hwy.
• adopted the city's general fund budget for the next fiscal year, which started on Oct.1 and goes through Sept. 30, 2012.
• heard a recommendation by city inspections officer Ed Hawkins about limiting yard sales to three per lot per year.

I totally agree. The huge, huge downside of sprint this whole time has been their network, and how awful it is. Their CDMA call quality was through the floor, sounding like a tin can in outer space, and their data speeds have been awful. Just awful.
When they open up their LTE network, it will really be a totally new game.
Sprint's network isn't awful. And it isn't up to par with Verizon or AT&T. Adding LTE will help this dramatically (and allow me to get a true LTE phone through Virgin Mobile).

New open-source license targets DRM, Hollywood

Defender of the GPLJanuary 19, 2006
Stallman unbending on software patentsJanuary 17, 2006
Public debate on GPL 3 draft beginsJanuary 16, 2006
At a two-day event here to launch the General Public License version 3, which governs use of countless free and open-source programs, Moglen said the license includes anti-DRM provisions that could put it in conflict with movie studios and even digital video recorder maker TiVo.
Eben Moglen
Free Software Foundation
On Monday, the Free Software Foundation published a draft of the GPL version 3, which is expected to be completed in about a year. The draft states that GPL software cannot use "digital restrictions" on copyright material unless users can control them.
Moglen said that DRM technology, which places limits on how consumers can play movies, music or other digital content, is "fundamentally incompatible" with the principles of the Free Software Foundation. Moglen and Free Software Foundation founder Richard Stallman are co-authors of the GPL version 3.
"Mr. Stallman made perfectly clear that his point of view is: It's enough. It's enough that the world has to pay attention to that (DRM) problem the way the world needed to pay attention to the patent problem 10 years ago," Moglen said in an interview with CNET News.com.
"I recognize that that's a highly aggressive position, but it's not an aggression which we thought up. It's a defense related to an aggression which was launched against the people whose rights are our primary concern," he added.
Defender of the GPL
Moglen said DRM systems that take control out of people's hands or violate their privacy do not respect free software users' rights and therefore are in conflict with the forthcoming GPL provisions.
The planned anti-DRM changes to the GPL are significant because the entertainment industry regularly uses Linux-powered computers in the production process, notably for special effects and animation. In general, movie studios support DRM technology to prevent piracy.
It's not clear whether the Linux operating system kernel will be governed by version 3 of the GPL when the new license is released; creator Linus Torvalds specifically didn't follow the Free Software Foundation's recommendation to describe a software project as governed by version 2 or "any later version." However, many other components of the operating system, such as the GLIBC library of supporting software and the GCC compiler, are expected to move to GPL 3.
Moglen and Stallman have voiced concern specifically with TiVo, which uses Linux, because the company collects information on consumers' actions. Moglen said TiVo complied with version 2 of the GPL "by the skin of its teeth" and said the company will find more difficulty complying with GPL version 3's anti-DRM provisions.
"Having a personal video recorder which reports every button you push to headquarters when you use the remote control--and which won't run software if you modify the box so it snoops on you a little less--is not user-respecting conduct," he said.
"What TiVo needs to do--what everybody needs to do who makes electronic devices--is to stop injuring users to help movie companies. We don't want our software used in a way which batters the head of the user to please somebody else. Our goal is the protection of users' rights, not movies' rights," Moglen said.
He said Hollywood studios that use free software, namely Linux, to create animated movies yet deny users' freedoms are "flat unfair."
Separately, Moglen sought to allay concerns that the GPL version 3 requires application hosting companies to provide the source code for software delivered as a service over the Internet.
"It is clear that in this draft we have not changed those rules at all," he said.

- I think many organizations listen to their users. Not all of them do what their users say. It's not the same thing. Sometimes the users (collectively) are wrong, and that's reasonable, since they are not all specialists or strategists.
While this stance seems great at first sigth it has the potential to hurt those they want to protect, so they should be careful with what they put on that license, especially since if later they decide it was the wrong step there's little chance of correcting the license for the software developed under it, given GPLs own characteristics. Humanity's biggest mistakes have been made in the name of idealism.

It is NOT "Licensed under The GNU General Public License,
Version 2 or later" as most GNU tools and other free (as in
freedom) SW.
The first paragraph is misleading "two-day event to launch the
General Public License version 3". There's no *launch*. GPL 3 is a
draft. Still to be discussed (the second paragraph of the article is
However, even if the draft was to be accepted as is and becom
the final GPL version 3, that would not apply to linux.
Unless Torvalds explicitely changes the licensing.
Note that even if Linus and the other kernel hackers were to
change the licencing, the current linux would still be licensed
under GPL 2. And anybody could fork it and go ahead
developing a GPL version 2 linux.
Therefore there's absolutely nothing to worry about. If
hollywood is ok using the current linux, it will be ok to use it
forever ad the new licence will never apply to the current linux.
The above is only true for linux, however. Not for GNU tools.

He writes:
"The planned anti-DRM changes to the GPL are significant because the entertainment industry regularly uses Linux-powered computers in the production process, notably for special effects and animation. In general, movie studios support DRM technology to prevent piracy."
I can't image the movie production staff using any software that incorporates DRM. I mean why would a sound engineer, for example, use a tool that would prevent him/her from freely copying music or audio clips?! It doesn't make sense.

- I don't think that is the problem.
- I don't think that is going to be the problem. I think what Hollywood is going to have to ask itself is do they want to continue to use an operating system and software that allows the easy theft of their products.
I will be that the answer will be know. I give high marks for the licenses changes. However, I think in the end it is going to hurt things like Linux as peopel and companies that once used it have to move away from it because it allows for theft of property.
The spirt of the thing is awesome. But, I think it will bite them in the rear.

- Linux won't use GPL 3
- If you read the licensing terms for the Linux kernel, you'll notice that it states very clearly that only GPL 2.0 applies, and not any successive version.

- And if Linus did move Linux to GPL3 ...
- And if Linus Torvalds did move the Linux kernel to version 3 of the GPL, I bet you some big company would instantly create a fork of the last release of the kernel under v2.0, though they couldn't continue to call the fork Linux -- which would basically doom the whole project, unless it was Microsoft or IBM doing the fork.

- Yeah.... Right.
- <<If you read the licensing terms for the Linux kernel, you'll notice that it states very clearly that only GPL 2.0 applies>>
No kidding! Maybe that's because the licensing terms were written before there was a GPL 3.0. And GPL 3.0 still isn't finalized, so there is no reason to update the licensing terms.
Do you honestly believe that all this work would go into a new GPL version that forbids DRM WITHOUT the intent of applying it to Linux? Really now... I usually don't make predictions without some type of evidence, but I'll pull a Ty here and say... "Just watch."

- Not Preclusive.
- That is not saying that future versions can not use GPL 3. That is saying that you and I can not re-license Linux under any other version of the GPL. It would take a LOT of work to re-license Linux under GPL 3 so I don't think it will happen.
What you will see is that some components such as file systems and media playback may take advantage of GPL 3 to ensure content is portable.

- Ownership to License to Lease-ense
- When Congress mandates DRM products be sold under lease agreements, as the "Legal Code" authors they should be, the separation between Proprietary Software Leases(PSL) with permanent conditions and Outright Ownership Sales (OOS) will be clearly understood forever.
DRM extends way beyond Movies and Music.
Knowing at a glance at time of sale that future conditions exist is fair regaurdless of which side your on.
Lease or Buy?

- principle vs. intent
- Mr. Moglen's statement that the proposed changes are "fundamentally incompatible" (if that is what he truly said) with the principles of the Free Software Foundation are at best, polarizing.
There will always be protected works (intellectual properties) and public domain works.
His statement seemed to go against what I see as the INTENT of the revised GPL License (which includes DRM).
Obviously, in the real world, free stuff and licensed stuff exist. I see the attempt at revising the GPL as intended to bridge the gap, not widen it.
Perhaps Mr. Moglen could provide us with suggestions on how to integrate the two. We have to deal with them everyday - and we don't expect to have it one way or another. We just want a workable solution.
- Like Reply Link Flag
- Oops, restate/correction
- The original post was intended to say that there should be more cooperation between GPL and DRM rather than polarization.
I hope that the authors of GPL eventually take a less aggressive position and offer up suggestions on how GPL users might incorporate DRM materials and vice versa.
Working together is better than falling apart.

- Public domain not all that clear...
- You said: "There will always be protected works
(intellectual properties) and public domain
However, it's not that clear that the public
domain will exist in the future. To date,
copyright terms have been extended without
debate whenever requested of Congress, to the
point that there's sufficient precedent that no
current or future work will ever pass into the
public domain.
Further, modern times have added the new concept
of "access control" to copyright law whose
interpretation includes license to ex post facto
impose contractual stipulations on the use or
performance of a work. It's logical extension is
that "access" to works can be restricted
indefinitely, in part by developing mandatory
DRM technologies to actively prohibit access by
default and provide access only by authorization
of a duly designated commercial entity according
to their terms (which do not have to be revealed
to the audience in advance).
Old news reels might be public domain, but if
projectors by law refuse to work without a key
provided by a member of the MPAA then the term
"public domain" effectively no longer means
unrestricted public access and use.
I think we're punting on the public domain.
Without very substantial reform to US copyright
laws, the public domain will cease to exist
within my lifetime.

- Fine lines drawn in ever changing sand.
- To date those who support Open Source and the rights of users are communist. Those who say this are hard line Republicans. Hmm. Sounds to me like we all need a nap.
Users have certain rights to the products they buy. You don't actually own the product in most cases, but simply a licence to use that product in a manner that is in accordance to said licence or agreement. Know I don't know law so I'm sure anybody can poke holes and twist the above anyway they want. What I mean though is that when you buy a Movie you don't really have the right to copy it and give it to a friend. Not even under Fair Use. Anyway, we've all been down this road so let me move on.
My thinking is very simple. If you don't like the way Hollywood or the RIAA is treating you, the user, then stop buying their products in any form. Build a campaign to 'educate' the other users about what is going on. Create a group or foundation that can lobby congress to fight for the rights of users. Help get elected officals in office who share your viewpoint. Any of this sound familar. One person isn't going to make a difference (well unless he/she is filthy rich), but get enough people on your side and somebody will listen.
I've said nothing new here. It's been said many times all over the internet. The problems is it's much easier to complain than do anything about it. And I am just as much to blame as the next guy. I see the light, but I stick around in the dark anyway and complain about how dark it is.
The most interesting thing is we know the power that we all have, but we don't know how to organize it. We don't know how to get together and fight for our rights. We are also stuck in this idea that Joe and Jane user have no rights over that of the content creator. The simple fact is content has no value when nobody will buy it.
At the moment I am boycotting all Tom Cruise movies because of his stupid comments on the Today show. Will it make any difference to him or his money? I seriously doubt it, but at least I'm trying.
I say that those of you who feel that DRM is ruining Movies and Music should just stop buying copy protected stuff, but you must also not download illegal copies either. Don't add fuel to the fire. Stop going to movies and supporting companies that are at odds with your opinions. Stop downloading music from companies that are at odds with your opinion. Support local artist and respect their content by not giving it away to everybody under the sun if they don't want it distibuted like that.
Of course we still don't live anywhere near perfect.

- [http://Users have certain rights to the products they buy. You don't actually own the product in most cases,...|http://Users have certain rights to the products they buy. You don't actually own the product in most cases,...]
I realize how programmed we are to say ...
...buy a product but you don't actually own...
Licensing should only be used with Lease, albeit Easily Transferable Lease (ETL)
To say ...Lease/License(instead of buy) a product that you don't actually own... is much more correct.
If the differences between "terms of use" was limited to License and Lease, there
wouldn't be any arguements about what Ownership was.
Buy to own. Period
Lease/License to use. Period
Contract Law is only as complicated as you make it.
You can't give something (Movie/Music Copy) you only Lease/License because you don't own it.
The impression the Movie/Music you "BUY for your COLLECTION" is OWNED, is false.
Programers write software Code, Congress writes Legal Code. If you confuse the intent of your Code (defitions) right off the bat all future arguements will be confused.
Ownership should be as close to "as is" as you can get.
Ownership means you traded money(usually) for it.
Ownership means you can take it apart and put it back together like a bike or a watch (if you're
You can add, change or modify if you want (if you're good).
A lease/License restricts what you can do with it.
A lease/License can set a time period it's good for.(1 year, 10 years, or until we upgrade, change our codes or just no longer support your product).
Ownership means you can add, change or modify to keep it running (if you're good).

That's the problem with america. You have to have lots of money to get your viewpoint heard (or at least acted upon). Big business holds way too much power. No consumer group will ever have as much money as hollywood when it comes to lobbying. I can't form a little neighborhood group and go to congress and compete with studios making billions of dollars.
Same with any issue. For example, when the oil industry controls congress, no environemntal legsislation cutting into their profits will be passed, regardless of its own merits.
America is great, but currently we live under a corrupt, greedy government, and it's unrealistic to expect that your idea will be evaluated on its own merits, as opposed to how much money is attached to it.
I for one am glad that someone is standing up to them.

- Additional provision
- I would add the following provision to the final draft: Any entity that makes use of open source software, must make open source products with it.
If they want the benefits of open source, they must give back to the community, or bleed money through their noses in propietary software. I would also add that any product made with open source software must be DRM-free.

Love the idea of the fruit loop stacks. We've made edible snack-necklaces before (with one end of elastic attached to the floor with masking tape to stop the 'beads' falling off the end. We've used mini pretzels, Hula Hoops, apple rings - that kind of thing.
Will try the spaghetti trick now - my two kiddos will love it I'm sure.

Thanks for this. I used it tonight in my parent/child signing class to reinforce the signs for "cereal" and "more." The mom there loved it.

Wow, I really like this one! Thanks to Athena from Columbia Basin Signing Academy for introducing us to your site. We'll definitely be visiting here again soon!ReplyDelete
Your little girls are darling! and you are certainly good at keeping them busy! Thanks for stopping by and following. Have a blessed week!ReplyDelete

Clayton County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Investigators assisted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with the arrest of a 27-year-old man, who was wanted for murder in California.
According to Clayton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, Deputy Alicia Parkes, Chico Luis Angel Perez, was arrested in a joint effort by the FBI and the Sheriff's Office, on Thursday, Nov. 18, at approximately 9:14 p.m., in Jonesboro.
"In a joint effort, a perimeter was set up, contact was made with a female at the door, and the suspect was apprehended without incident," said Parkes.
The suspect was apprehended at 7878 North Main Street, an apartment complex, in Jonesboro.
"A Smith and Wesson, .40 caliber pistol was recovered," Parkes said.
Perez has been charged as a "Fugitive Not of Georgia," according to Parkes.
He was still awaiting pickup from the Los Angeles Police Department, on Monday, according to Clayton County Jail officials.
