I'll probably never meet Hector Acevedo, but that doesn't mean I can't admire the heck out of the panel saw he designed and built from scratch. Aside from the obvious quality of the build, one of the coolest things about it is how little space it takes up. The saw is attached to the wall of his garage. The frame that holds the sheet goods folds out from the wall when in use and tight to the wall for storage. The guide rails and motor assembly are connected to pivot and store against the ceiling when not in use.
Like, the table saw he built, Hector's home-made panel saw rates a 10.0 on the awesome scale — with 0.0 being completely worthless, 5.0 being close, but no cigar, and 10.0 being as good as it gets. Congratulations Hector on a perfect score.

January Weather Puts Damper On Fred's Fiscal 2013 Results
Monday February 10th, 2014 - 10:20AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the 52-week fiscal 2013 year, Fred's Inc. posted total sales of $1.94 billion versus $1.96 billion for 53-week fiscal 2012 period. On an adjusted basis, compensating for the extra week in 2012, comparable store sales for fiscal 2013 gained 0.6%.
For January, Fred's total sales were $134.8 million on an unadjusted basis versus $173.5 million for the five-week year-earlier period. On an unadjusted basis, fourth quarter total sales were $495.1 million versus $533.4 million for the year-earlier period.
On an adjusted basis, total sales decreased 1.1% for January, advanced 0.5% for the fourth quarter and increased 1.4% for fiscal 2013, according to Fred's. Also on an adjusted basis, January comps decreased 1.8% and fourth quarter comps increased 0.1%, the retailer related.
In comments on the financial results, Bruce Efird, Fred's CEO, said, "The weather was a significant challenge for us in January. It not only disrupted consumer shopping patterns, but also resulted in more than 120 store closings during the final week of the month. Prior to the last week of January, sales were running in the mid-range of our forecast, with reconfiguration departments leading the way. In the final week of the month, comparable store sales dropped into the negative double digits, culminating in a weather effect on comparable store sales for all of January that is estimated at more than 300 basis points."
Efird added that lower-than-anticipated sales in January's last week would reduce earnings for the final quarter of 2013 by approximately three cents per share. Fred's noted that it now expects to report fourth quarter earnings per diluted share in the range of 13 cents to 16 cents versus earnings of 15 cents per diluted share for the comparable 13-week period last year.
"With January closing out the fourth quarter, we had success in several areas, most notably in our reconfiguration departments that include pharmacy, pet, auto, and hardware, which will carry forward in 2014," Efird maintained. "We are also in the process of revamping our fourth quarter marketing, promotion and pricing strategies to respond to changing consumer buying habits, along with the increasing popularity of Internet shopping. We are confident that our strategies to build a strong presence in specialty pharmacy and clinical services, together with accelerating pharmacy acquisitions and new pricing, promotion and marketing programs, will lead to continued success in 2014."
In January, Fred's opened one new store and two Xpress pharmacies, the company stated. In total, Fred's, Inc. operates 704 discount general merchandise stores, including 21 franchised Fred's stores, in the southeastern United States.

Will Low-Cost Laptops Help Kids in Developing Countries?
The nonprofit organization One Laptop Per Child is working to develop computers that could be built for just $100 each and distributed to children in developing countries.
So far the organization has won the backing of some major technology companies as well as the United Nations. Intel Corp., which initially had its own low-cost PC design, decided to join the effort in July. The OLPC expects to begin mass producing its laptops, which are designed to be used outdoors and can be powered with a pull cord, later this year.
Still, some of the program's critics, which have included Dell Inc. Chief Executive Michael Dell, argue that the OLPC machine's computing power is insufficient, and that the laptops won't be very useful without necessary supporting infrastructure. (Read a Wall Street Journal story about one entrepreneur's difficulty trying to wire Rwanda.)
The Wall Street Journal Online invited Walter Bender, president of the One Laptop effort and former director of MIT's Media Lab, to discuss the program with eMachines co-founder Stephen Dukker, whose start-up company sells technology for low-cost computer labs. Below is their exchange, carried out over email.

Android-powered BlackBerry Venice with a slide-out keyboard reportedly headed to AT&T
Reports from earlier this month that BlackBerry would soon launch a full fledged Android-powered smartphone are looking up. Ex-tipster who still occasionally tips/confirms new devices @Evleaks tweeted earlier today that a device called the BlackBerry Venice is headed to AT&T later this year. He specifically mentioned that this device would be powered by Android and that — here's the best part — it will feature a slide-out physical keyboard for QWERTY fans.

Customer Reviews of Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB 2.5" SATA III Solid State Drive (SSD)
I ordered this drive to replace an aging hard drive in my laptop. What a world of difference SSD makes! Windows 7 comes up in eight seconds. Every application, from Google Chrome to Quicken to Microsoft Word and Excel, just snaps.
Great SSD for the price9/3/2013
My notebook PC runs Windows 7, Home Premium 64 bit, it is a Toshiba Portege P835-P56X with 8 GB of memory, i5 processor. I replaced my OEM Hitachi 5400 RPM HDD with this SanDisk 256 GB SSD. One word, wow! The Windows performance index, on a scale of 1 to 7.9, went from a 5.6 to a 7.8 for the disk speed. The boot time is easily cut in half, the important thing is that now my older notebook PC has the same responsiveness of some of the newer tablet systems. The power consumption is also much lower, adding to battery life. I no longer need to worry about setting the notebook PC down too hard and damaging the HDD. If you have an older notebook PC with a rotating disk drive, this is the single best investment you can make to increase its performance. It comes with a spacer/adapter thing. My older drive was taller than this one. The spacer made it fit well. I have already recommended this product to a friend and will recommend to all.
nice price7/26/2013
got this at a really good price, then used my super points also and it became a really good price and i got points for this purchase also. I love this super points stuff. the ssd was as fast as my samsung 840 for cheaper.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
A good choice5/27/2013
This is the first SSD I have in my laptop. It's really good. I am so amazed that the change can be so drastic. Now I enjoy the fast boot up and shutdown of the operating system. :)
Fast SSD.5/2/2013

I've been away BUT I haven't been away from gaming!
I've been away BUT I haven't been away from gaming!
Sep 27, 2005 7:39PM PST
So in my absence I along with everyone else discovered the trailer for MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. I woke up at six in the morning to check my Live Journal (something I don't do often) and on my friends page there was a post from the Metal Gear community that I'm a part of. I followed the link and well let's just say I couldn't go back to sleep for the rest of the morning.
I didn't know how to feel about an older Snake and I still don't but one thing is clear to me and it's that, even though each MG game appears so different from the previous this is the one that really must be different. The two legged robot which you can't tell if it's part creature or what... it definitely puts an eerie spin on things. Not to mention an older Snake who seems to be having some troubles without the soilders and two legged robots. Ehh, well at least he hasn't lost his smoking habits. :)
Also in my time away I have come to know that RE4 will be ported to PS2. You don't know how happy this makes. I played a little of it for GC and could never get use to the control so I sadly passed the task of investigation and completion onto my little brother. He had no real dilemmas with the control but I still felt cheated out of being able to play a totally awesome game. So now... my screams of "WHY?" have been answered. YES, YES, YES!!!
I'm just about ready to cross AC off my list of most anticipated things this year. I swear, I heard the date was September the 14th but then heard nothing else about it and the day came and went without a word. How many times will they push the release date back? I'm going to stop waiting and maybe the U.S. will get it before 2008 if that isn't asking too much. :/
In conclusion without being long winded as I am, I now have joint custody of a PSP and a DS. We have no games for the PSP and Mario for the DS. It is a sad drought to me with portables going on. I don't want any movies for the PSP and the DS's features are awkward. *shrugs*
Maybe this is just the part where we kind of forget about portables for a while and prepare for the coming of three, but in my case, two great consoles that will cost combined more than a month's worth of rent. Oh the things the future holds!
