Top Rated Circular Saws On The Market
Circular Saws Buying Guide
Let's take a look at the factors that should be influencing your purchasing decision.
1. Buy From A Reputable Manufacturer
Time and time again people have made the wrong choice when it comes to circular saws. Either they buy a cheap, no-name brand and it breaks or they don't do their research to find the best product. In today's market, the best makers of reputable circular saws are Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, and Skil. These are all very good brand names to buy from.
2. Get A Good Warranty
Because circular saws are put under all kinds of wear and tear, it's best to get one that has a solid warranty. This will keep you financially safe from defects and ensure that if anything breaks under the warranty period you can get it replaced for free. All of the best manufacturers of circular saws like Milwaukee already come with a warranty because they know that their products are dependable. But, as with everything, it's better safe than sorry. Get a good warranty.
3. Read The Amazon Reviews To Check For Product Defects
As always, in the marketplace there will be certain products that have defects. It's best to air on the side of caution when it comes to buying a circular saw. Check the reviews to make sure the product you're looking at is really worth your hard earned money. Amazon reviews can give you an accurate description of the actual quality of the product. Look for a saw with at least 4 stars.
4. In-line Or Worm Drive?
Circular saws generally come in two types of designs. In-line or worm drive.
An in-line saw is the traditional type of circular saw. These have been around for many years and the art of making them has been nearly perfected by companies like DeWalt and Milwaukee.
A worm drive saw is better suited for more extreme, heavy duty applications. Worm drive motors run parallel to the saw blades and they use gears to increase the power of the saw. These kinds of saws are usually reserved for more intense applications. They are also more expensive than in-line saws.
5. Cordless Or Corded?
If you'll be working close to an outlet, a corded saw will give you the most even distribution of power to the blade. Corded saws are ideal for places like garages where an outlet is readily available.
Places you're working that don't have an outlet available are better suited for the cordless variety. As long as you keep the batteries charged up, most cordless circular saws will be valuable tools in a work setting. Often times, the battery and charger are sold separately.
6. Get The Right Blade Capacity And Blades For Your Projects
The most common blade diameter is 7 1/4". Most blades that are 6" or bigger can cut through 2" diameter lumber using a single pass. Smaller capacity saws that have smaller blades are generally easy to control. As far as blade types go, you can choose from many types including:
- Steel blades
- High speed steel blades
- Carbide blades
- Tile-cutting blades
- Masonry blades


text: Just an FYI in case you weren't aware -- v2.0.3 that was pushed out yesterday (2012-03-18) has breaking changes that result in Error 500 under PHP/Apache. The site was fine with v2.0.2, but immediately after updating to v2.0.3 the site is broken. Disabling the plugin allows the site to work again. Anyway, it's a great plugin, Paul, and I look forward to a fix so I can re-enable it!

I began programming as an Electrical Engineer more years ago than I care to admit.
I have always used very specialised automatic test equipment, which gives me an unusual perspective on how to solve software problems (usually by myself without recourse to libraries and frameworks). This is definitely not mainstream. I don't create commercial software. My user-base is my fellow employees.
I apologise therefore if my contributions to SO seem other-worldly — the programming environments I've used have never been Windows-based and only vaguely unix-like. I'm starting to realise it was more like a sheltered workshop than real programming.
Hanging around SO will be my therapy, and expose me to lots of good ideas.
In late February 2010, I was admitted to hospital with a suspected stroke. A few tests showed it wasn't a stroke, it was Multiple Sclerosis. That was over four months ago, during which time I have been unable to work.
Frankly, I'm surprised my account is still valid, but I have effectively **retired from SO and related sites**.

Law Aims To Keep Chicago From Becoming Petcoke Dumping Ground
Midwest refineries are processing crude oil from Canada's tar sands. Chicago officials voted to ban any new companies from storing petroleum coke in the city, and said existing companies can't expand.
Refineries looking for a place to store an ashy petroleum byproduct called petcoke can cross Chicago off their list. A new, tough city ordinance bans new storage facilities and prevents existing ones from expanding.
NPR's Cheryl Corley reports.
CHERYL CORLEY, BYLINE: Before petcoke is shipped overseas - where it's burned as fuel - huge piles of it are often stored in open-air facilities. Residents in Detroit complained so much about swirling petcoke dust, it ordered a company to move the piles out.
Chicago did the same for one company, but there are still mounds of petcoke in a neighborhood that's just across the river from an Indiana refinery. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the new city law means no new piles.
MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL: I do not want to see the city of Chicago as a dumping ground for the products out of Indiana. And we're are going to do what we need to do, should have done, didn't do, will do now to protect the public health of the community that lives on the far Southside, near the Indiana border.
CORLEY: KCBX, a company owned by the Koch Brothers, runs the facility where the petcoke is stored. Spokesman Jake Reint says KCBX has taken steps to control dust.
JAKE REINT: But we're willing to make additional investments, including the possibility of covered storage or an enclosure.
CORLEY: And that's just how petcoke is stored in California.

I recently came across a Power Mac G4 that I was tasked to find out if it worked. The computer had been slightly stripped, having no optical disk drives and all cables inside disconnected. After I connected everything related, I then turned on the computer, that didn't boot, as indicated by the absence of any graphical output.
After some fiddling (checking the graphics card was OK, getting a keyboard, etc), I then remembered that in these old computers RAM could be a factor. There were 4 modules, all of them 256 MB. Except one was slightly taller than the rest. The module in question is similar to this one I found online:
The numbering on the sticker, after the PC100 designation, was different on that module. I removed that and another one, so as to have a pair. The computer booted and everything ran fine.
The modules were, as far as I can remember, all equal (except for the differences stated previously). Why would that particular module prevent the computer from booting if at first sight they matched?
Also, does the numbering after the PC100 designation have some specific meaning?

Remodel Your Home, Save the Planet
Want to go green? Sure you could buy a hybrid car or purchase only organic foods, but the place where you can have the biggest impact may be in your own home. In the United States alone, buildings account for 72 percent of electricity consumption, 40 percent of raw materials use, and 38 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions, according the United States Green Building Council. So whether you're doing a full-scale remodel or just performing a maintenance project or two, you can do a lot for the planet (and your pocketbook) by choosing the right products. Here are nine that are worth checking out.

21. "This is Forty"
In theaters: December 21, 2012
Director: Judd Apatow
Cast: Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy, Chris O'Dowd, John Lithgow, Albert Brooks, Lena Dunham, Annie Mumolo, Robert Smigel, Phil Hendrie
Lowdown: A not-quite-sequel to "Knocked Up" sees the return of the married couple (Rudd and Mann) who were supporting players in that film, with no sign of the characters played by Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl.
Drew McWeeny says: The title pretty much casts a big wide net, and the chance to watch this group return, tackling marriage and aging and thwarted ambition, while introducing heavy hitters like Lithgow and Brooks into things? Wouldn't miss it. Besides, it's been too long since "Funny People."

Sean (guest)Sorry you guys weren't feeling The Tree of Life. Hope Malick gets you with his next one. To me, it was the film of the year.
I wish it had come out later in the year, because it seems to have been forgotten in all the award show buzz (that and the fact that Malick probably wouldn't show up to receive the award).
I really think that films that challenge us should be rewarded. Malick made a film that questioned and tried to rationalize the idea of God within our lives. How many films or filmmakers have the balls and the talent to do that?
Only guys like Kubrick and Scorcese spring to mind. Actually it was interesting how Malick, Scorcese, and Spielberg, all old masters, really seemed to push themselves out of their comfort zones and make pictures that stretched their talents as filmmakers this year. The younger filmmakers can learn from their ambition.
Although The Tree of Life lost its ambiguity at the end (Malick seems to have made up his mind about the whole is there a God thing). I thought it contained the greatest depiction of childhood I'd ever seen put to film. A totally unromanticized version of childhood. Absolutely brilliant.
I can't say I'm stoked for The Hunger Games, but I'll always give Gary Ross the benefit of the doubt. Pleasantville is one of the greatest films to come out of the 90's.December 31, 2011 at 10:18PM ESTReply to Comment

What we learned in the ACC bowls
By Andrea Adelson
The entire 2012 season is in the books. So what did we learn during bowl season?
1. The ACC had a rockin' bowl performance.
You guys know as well as I do that the league did not exactly earn much national recognition for its performance in the regular season. The league only had two ranked teams and was forced to go with a 6-6 team in the ACC title game because of postseason bans. But who cares about the regular season when you have such an outstanding bowl season! The ACC went 4-2, its first winning bowl record since 2005, beating to a pulp the dismal 2-6 mark from a year ago. That means the ACC joined the SEC and Big East as the only leagues among the automatic qualifiers with winning bowl records. So sorry Big 12 (4-4), Pac-12 (4-4) and Big Ten (2-5). Better luck next year. You can check your ACC jokes at the door while you're at it.
Florida State's defense dominated Northern Illinois and quarterback Jordan Lynch.
2. Heavy D!
By all accounts, this was a down year for defense in the ACC (outside of Florida State), if only because offenses exploded and set league records left and right. But when it counted most,
defenses stepped up big time
in the four ACC bowl wins. I have gone back and forth on which team had the most impressive performance: Florida State and its complete shut down of
Jordan Lynch
? Georgia Tech holding USC to seven points? Clemson with its best defensive performance of the season? Virginia Tech giving up less than 200 yards of total offense in a game that went into overtime? No sense in picking. They were all outstanding performances -- just what the ACC needed after an up-and-down season across the league.
3. The ACC can beat the SEC.
So the ACC split against SEC competition during bowl season, with Clemson beating LSU and NC State losing to Vanderbilt, but that beats the dreadful performance in the final week of the regular season when the league laid a big ol' goose egg against its SEC opponents. The highlight, of course, was Clemson beating No. 8 LSU with a thrilling come-from-behind 25-24 win in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Not only was that game one of the best during bowl season, but the win marked the highest-ranked SEC team Clemson has beaten since taking down No. 6 Tennessee in the 2004 Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Tigers ended the year with the only two ACC wins over SEC competition. So maybe this should read: "Clemson can beat the SEC ..."
4. Duke still has a ways to go.
Props to the Blue Devils for getting back to a bowl game, but this program still has a long way to go on the road toward respectability. Duke dropped its final five games of the season -- all to teams with winning records. In fact, it only beat one team with a winning record all season. There is no doubt that final stretch was brutal, but this team had opportunities to beat winning teams throughout the year. Duke blew first-quarter leads against Virginia Tech and against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl and had its chances late against Georgia Tech. To take it to the next level, the Blue Devils have to find ways to win these games. Next season is absolutely critical for momentum.
5. So long Werner and Rhodes.
The Discover Orange Bowl marked the last time we got to see Florida State defensive end
Bjoern Werner
and cornerback
Xavier Rhodes
in Seminoles uniforms. Both players declared early for the NFL draft in the days after the win over Northern Illinois. No doubt both were major impact players on a defense that ended the year ranked No. 2 in the nation. Werner was a unanimous All-American selection and ACC Defensive Player of the Year; Rhodes was an All-ACC first-team selection as one of the top shutdown corners in the nation. Good luck to both as they embark on their new careers.

Sorry if answers to this question already exist, I did not find them yet.
I'm member of a web development team, we maintain a web portal. Release Management works with Subversion. This is how I work when adding new features to the portal:
- Create a new Branch by copying the Trunk
- Develop in that Branch
- Periodically merge updates from the Trunk into that Branch (I want to know if Framework-Changes break my code, before it goes to UAT / Integration, e.g.)
- Re-Integrate the Branch into the Trunk in order to let it go live
Now we have a problem with Continuous Integration:
- Periodical Go-Live every X weeks
- Several Branches exist which are planned to go-live on different dates
- Every X hours a day, Integration Server does a Trunk checkout and merges all Branches (which should explicitly go to Integration System) into it
- The Trunk updates which have been merged into each Branch (see above) now generate Tree Conflicts
What is the Best Practice for that? Re-Integrating doesn't work for merging multiple Branches, because as soon as one Branch is integrates, the working copy isn't clean anymore. However, Continuous Integration must be possible somehow...
If Trank changes are merged into each Branch, different revisions are created. But the files should have the same content and be equal. Isn't there a merge-option saying "ignore a conflict if the two new/changed files are identical"?
Thanks for any help.

QUESTION: I have model 973CB, so my question is if I will be able to set it up with the garage opener even though they are different models numbers? by Vic M 9/17/2015
STAFF ANSWER: Yes it will work just fine for you ! by Matthew O a
ANSWER: For me it worked by Ahmed a a
QUESTION: My Liftmaster Security opener says it was manufactured in 4/11. Can I use it with my Liftmaster garage door opener? I seem to be having problems with it. I close the door and after 10 minutes or so, the garage door opens by itself w/o me doing anything. I'm concerned it'll open while I'm gone - a real security issue. Do I need to reprogram it? Please advise. Thanks. by Nancy S 9/16/2015
ANSWER: Not sure why it happened like that after 10 mins. If it was bouncing back right away means the travel need to be adjusted following factory installation instruction. If I were you, I would like to clean up the remote control to avoid any sticky button, then adjust the travel to see anything changed. Giood luck. by Jian L a
STAFF ANSWER: I would try reprogramming the remote first. If still having a problem please give us a call. by Matthew O a
QUESTION: Does the range of these remotes deteriorate over a period of
years ? by Fremont R 8/24/2015
ANSWER: no by wendy w a
ANSWER: Range seems most affected by battery strength than the age of the remote. I hope this helps.
Bret by Bret R a
ANSWER: It is all dependent on the battery, if battery is weak then range wil not be as good. by Patricia D a
QUESTION: I have a Chamberlain part no 41AC050-1, IC: 2666A, 102 1499A Date 04/07.
Can I use this remote?
Thanks,
Dave by Dave L 7/13/2015
ANSWER: If you pry it apart to look inside and it does not have a series of 4 or more switches that can be moved up and down to set the code it may work. While here it is a good idea to check or replace the battery. If it has these switches don't bother as it probably won't work. If it doesn't have these switches then try to mate it to your opener as described in the instructions for your opener.
Good luck! by Bret R a
ANSWER: Yes, it should work. by Patricia D a
STAFF ANSWER: yes you can. by Matthew O a

Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail
Deportation, Children, and the Making of American Exiles and Orphans
A review of Jason De León and Luis H. Zayas
U.S. immigration policy has long used the imposition of trauma and the dynamics of fear as weapons.
The current issue of the Century features a remembrance by my mother of my grandfather's terrifying war experience and its unfolding consequences. Tomorrow the world marks the 70th anniversary of V-E Day, when the world-shaping trauma of the war halted in Europe. My grandfather's story is only a tiny fragment of the war, his decades of agony only a ripple in its billowing aftershocks. But it is the kind of story that is easily lost as the war recedes from living memory.
Almost every day our local paper carries one or more articles about someone being charged with or convicted of sexual molestation. The victims are usually children or youth.
Spring books
In her 11th novel Toni Morrison returns to the foundation of most of her fiction: childhood and its traumatic effects.
I've only seen three dead bodies in my life. The first was when I was 12 years old and my grandfather died at age 69. It was the first time I ever saw my father cry. At the funeral home, my sister was brave enough to reach out and touch my grandfather's hand as it rested on his torso. Back in our seats, I asked her what his skin felt like. "Plastic," she said.
Pain and Promise
Kathleen O'Connor's daringly imaginative rereading of Jeremiah reveals a community experiencing the classic accents of trauma.
Via Rose Berger,
the summer issue of Portland magazine
includes an essay by Portland editor
and Century contributor Brian Doyle,
in which he quotes at length a conversation with a young U.S. war veteran named
Jackie. She paints a striking picture.
The Truth About the Sexual Abuse of Children—and Its Aftermath

There is No Frontrunner For Best Actor
By and large pundits seem to have narrowed down the Best Actress category, sadly before all the films have even premiered, to about 6 or 7 women... but many of them won't be able to win for their roles (when you've already won it's more difficult to build a "more" case - this ain't the Emmys) so the fight for the actual statue will probably not be bloody at all. Here you go, Cate! The supporting categories (both male and female) are still hugely competitive as far as nominations go but again the winning could well be set in stone as soon as the nominations are facts rather than assumptions.
But Best Actor just can't be narrowed down. Not yet at least. [more...]

Stock Up, Stock Down
Stock Up: The Nashville Predators have won four of six, and you don't have to look too far down the score sheet to find out why. After a two-goal, one-assist performance in Sunday's 5-2 drubbing of Carolina, Shea Weber is tied for the team lead in points (21) and goals (10). He has nine points in his past eight games and leads all NHL defensemen in points and goals.
Stock Down: After I first filed my quarter grades, I made a last-minute change and moved the Rangers from an A-minus to a B-plus. I shouldn't have stopped there. The Rangers are 4-5-1 in their past 10 games and have managed to score more than three goals in just two of those matches. For a team that was supposed to be able to compete with offensive powerhouses like Pittsburgh and Washington, that's not a good sign.
-- Scott Burnside
1. Should the Montreal Canadiens have retired Patrick Roy's sweater?
Does anyone else think it's a bit curious that a man who single-handedly disrupted a franchise for more than a decade is not only feted by that franchise, but is also immortalized with a sweater retirement?
To pose this question doesn't diminish the significant role Patrick Roy played in the Habs' past two Stanley Cup championships in 1986 and '93. They were things of beauty. They were the kinds of performances that put Roy in the Hockey Hall of Fame and cemented his reputation as the greatest goalie of all time (we defer to Roy until Martin Brodeur returns from injury and passes him in the record books, presumably later this season). But he also demanded a trade in a fit of anger back in December 1995, forever altering the course of history for this franchise.
Yes, ill-qualified coach Mario Tremblay had a hand in the famous blowup, but Roy was the star; he knew it and played the star card. Fair enough. But we're not sure it qualifies him for a place in the Habs' ring of honor along with players whose history speaks not just of great play, but of a connection to the franchise and city that goes beyond mere statistics.
Imagine if Guy Lafleur had demanded to be let out of Montreal at the peak of his talents because he got into a tiff with Scotty Bowman. Ken Dryden warred with management, but all he did was retire for a season before coming back and guiding the Habs to more glory.
Roy? He went on to win two Stanley Cups in Colorado after his famous fit, while the Habs have failed to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs since the trade.
Think about that every time you see his No. 33 fluttering from the rafters of the Bell Centre.
2. What does the loss of captain Brenden Morrow mean to the reeling Dallas Stars?
Well, not to overstate the obvious, but this is bad news. It was Morrow who was the catalyst in the Stars' stirring run to the Western Conference finals last spring. He re-established himself as one of the top leaders in the game by scoring big goals and bringing a big, physical game every night. His loss is on a par with the Detroit Red Wings of old losing Steve Yzerman, the Carolina Hurricanes losing Rod Brind'Amour or Calgary losing Jarome Iginla.
That said, the Stars are blessed with a strong supporting cast, starting with Brad Richards, who was part of the leadership core in Tampa when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup in 2004. Mike Modano, of course, has a long history of leadership with the organization. Stephane Robidas is a solid presence in the locker room.
Now, these personalities haven't been able to turn around a disappointing start to the season, as the Stars are in last place in the West, but perhaps now, with Morrow out, the loss will galvanize the group and force it to play with the cohesiveness that has been lacking since the start of this season.
As for making a roster move, the rumors are stronger that owner Tom Hicks will clean up the co-GM situation before he'll allow Brett Hull and/or Les Jackson to make a significant roster move. Recently added Mark Parrish will get more opportunity to show his career's not done, and rookie Fabian Brunnstrom, definitely hit-and-miss so far, might get a chance to get into a rhythm.
3. What about the loss of Roberto Luongo, who left Saturday's game against Pittsburgh with an apparent leg injury?
The Canucks were waiting for results from a second MRI over the weekend, but already called up Cory Schneider from Manitoba of the AHL to back up Curtis Sanford. The Canucks are one of the surprise teams in the Western Conference, riding a 7-0-2 streak to the top of the Northwest Division. But, like the New Jersey Devils, who are learning about life without Martin Brodeur, the Canucks are now in wait-and-pray mode, hoping Luongo won't be gone long term.
The Devils might be able to stay in the playoff hunt without Brodeur, but it will be because the Eastern Conference is mediocre overall, as opposed to the stellar netminding of Scott Clemmensen and Kevin Weekes (with all due respect). The West is another beast altogether. If Luongo is gone long term, GM Mike Gillis will have to spend some of that cap money he's been squirreling away for Mats Sundin and bring in a bona fide NHL netminder, or risk having the Canucks' good start go for naught.
Would Edmonton send one of its three netminders to a division foe? Maybe not, but there's always Nikolai Khabibulin, part of every goaltending rumor for more than a year. And don't forget Atlanta's Kari Lehtonen, who has back problems, but could be available if prospect Ondrej Pavelec is as good as people say.
4. Does it really matter if Canadiens fans are electronically stuffing the ballot boxes for the All-Star Game that will be held in Montreal in late January to commemorate the team's 100th anniversary?
Huh? Were you talking to me? Sorry, I dozed off as soon as I saw the words "All-Star" and "ballots."
There could hardly be a less compelling event on the NHL schedule than the annual corporate schmoozefest that is All-Star weekend. Every season, there's some sort of controversy over who's on the ballot and who isn't. This year, the NHL's top goaltender, Boston's Tim Thomas, isn't on the ballot. Remember the write-in campaign to get Vancouver defenseman Rory Fitzpatrick on the All-Star roster in 2006-07? We loved that.
For the players who are voted on and/or asked by the NHL's hockey operations folks to fill out the rosters, it can be a big deal. Last season, it was a validation for players like Thomas, Chris Osgood, Mike Ribeiro, Marc Savard and others. Good for them. But the process of selecting those players, just like the event itself, is both flawed and, in the end, pointless. There might be a better way to do it; we just can't summon up enough energy or interest to figure out what that might be.
5. We always talk about rookie players having to adjust to NHL play. What about rookie coaches?
New York Islanders coach Scott Gordon told us this week one of the biggest adjustments he's had to make is in scheduling his practice time. In the AHL, where he coached Providence, Gordon could count on playing two or three games over a weekend and then practicing like crazy during the week. In the NHL, the schedule is so compressed, Gordon has had to concentrate on balancing teaching sessions with giving his players time off.
Florida Panthers coach Peter DeBoer, who made the jump from junior hockey to the NHL this season, acknowledged this week he was taken aback at the competition for points from the moment the season opened.
"I don't think coming from where I come from you have a true appreciation for the parity in the league, and how every night it's tooth-and-nail to pick up points, and [so] early in the season," DeBoer said. "You're used to a kind of a mad rush down the stretch in January, February, March. This starts September, October, November. That's been probably the biggest difference for me."
Although the Panthers continue to be a train wreck, last in the NHL in points, give DeBoer credit for not just accepting his lot in life.
"Actually, I haven't gotten discouraged," he said. "I've seen a lot of positive signs. There's definitely brighter days ahead. We have to get healthy and get this turned in the right direction. But you're trying to change a culture, too; it doesn't happen overnight."
On Friday night in Boston, DeBoer benched Rostislav Olesz, a top forward who signed a six-year deal worth $18.75 million over the summer. Earlier this season, the coach made veteran defenseman Nick Boynton a healthy scratch.
"It's the only tool a coach really has," DeBoer said. "[Olesz] has to be better for us. He's a nice kid and a smart player, but we need more than that. We don't have the luxury of waiting on guys like that for more than 15 or 20 games. We just don't."

Comparing behaviors of program versions has become an important task in software maintenance and regression testing. Black-box program outputs have been used to characterize program behaviors and they are compared over program versions in traditional regression testing. Program spectra have recently been proposed to characterize a program's behavior inside the black box. Comparing program spectra of program versions offers insights into the internal behavioral differences between versions. In this paper, we present a new class of program spectra, value spectra, that enriches the existing program spectra family. We compare the value spectra of a program's old version and new version to detect internal behavioral deviations in the new version. We use a deviation-propagation call tree to present the deviation details. Based on the deviation-propagation call tree, we propose two heuristics to locate deviation roots, which are program locations that trigger the behavioral deviations. We also use path spectra (previously proposed program spectra) to approximate the program states in value spectra. We then similarly compare path spectra to detect behavioral deviations and locate deviation roots in the new version. We have conducted an experiment on eight C programs to evaluate our spectra-comparison approach. The results show that both value-spectra-comparison and path-spectra-comparison approaches can effectively expose program behavioral differences between program versions even when their program outputs are the same, and our value-spectra-comparison approach reports deviation roots with high accuracy for most programs.

Re: Walk the Line
I have Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? and it's one of my favoritesan excellent recommendation to anyone intrigued by the Carter Family and early country music. By the way, I took your advice from a Border Radio I copyedited about a month back and got a copy of that Johnny Paycheck collection, The Real Mr. Heartache: The Little Darlin' Years. Amazing. It hasn't left my CD player for weeks. For anyone else who might want to get it: Order it from the Country Music Hall of Fame. It was the only place I could find it.

Wonderful work! Structures, also the colours and reflexion
Cool destillery for ....whisky?
Reminds me of Zombies meal
Thank you I think
Coolness personified!
Love the album - love the art! Simple, yet so intense!
Thank you, your a prog rocker too I take it.
Oh yeah, since the day! Played it for decades and still love it, although miss a bit of that fire in the newer sounds. LTE is the most exciting prog I've heard of late (I mean, can't spin those old disks forever, but I do!) I still compose prog, but also fusion, and even a little proggy new agey electro stuff - just lettin' it flow these days - whatever comes out is what it is.
Colors are superb!
Love the 'mother-of-pearl' sheen to it.
Thanks. Wish I did'nt lose the params.
Love that LP !! And 8 track ! Cool Art Too Man !
You don't get albums of that quality anymore. Thanks for comment.
great job, and what a great tribute to a fantastic LP
Mine vinyl went missing 30 years ago. Not quite the same on CD.
One of my favorite Albums of all time, H.R. Giger's cover art makes it a Collectors Classic, super work

How much is a person�s life worth? How about an entire crew? That is what Peter Ludvigsen, the head of acompany whose ship has just been hijacked by Somali pirates, must determine in the Danish film A Hijacking. Directed and written by Tobias Lindholm, this film has won many awards in film festivals around the world, and for good reason. This film will draw you in, get you to genuinely care about the characters, and keep you tense through the entire ordeal.One of those characters, Mikkel (Pilou Asbaek), the cook on board the ship, is theonly person on the crew who is allowed to have any contact with the outsideworld, though primarily to help hurry the negotiation of how much the companywill pay to get the crew and ship out of the Somali pirates� hands.
Much of the action is purposefully left off screen, keeping
the audience on edge during this tense thriller. It is not an action film; we do not even get
to see the hijacking take place.
Instead, it is a psychological roller coaster ride as the audience
becomes attached to characters that may not make it out alive.
It is painful towatch both Mikkel, who has to suffer through the experience of being heldcaptive for months on end, and Ludvigsen, who becomes emotionally involved inthe situation despite being warned that that is the worst thing he could do, makethe difficult decision of when to say no and when to say yes to a group ofviolent men who hold the lives of his crew in their hands. It is an emotional journey that leaves theaudience to wonder what they might do if they were in either of the men�spositions.

Spectral Souls (ENG)
"Spectral Souls" the awaited full size Japanese Tactical RPG is available now for your Windows 8 Device !!! STORY : Neverland is a world apart from our own, home to strange and dangerous creatures. Two of these creatures, humans and demons, have been struggling against each other for many years. As the centuries passed, control shifted from demons to humans and back again. The humans finally earned a clear victory after the First Neverland War. But this left the country in ruins and was the direct cause of the Second Neverland War, which saw the decisive victory of the demons once again. Magic Age 1053 Tragedy strikes the small woodland village of Petun, the town is attacked and burned to the ground by vicious Neverland troops. But Petun is only the first of many massacres; the Demon Army tears through every human village it can find, slaughtering the people as it goes. Humiliated and infuriated by these abuses, the humans begin to resist and fight back. It starts as a rash of disorganized, sporadic riots. But it soon grows into something more, something meaningful. These uprisings become a beacon of hope to all humans, spurring them on to unite and form a new empire. They choose a name to reflect their most noble traditions, to reflect a time when they ruled over the demon horde. They call it the Reformed Simba Empire. Petun?little more than a bump in the road, a mark on a map. But this is where it all started, where the undercurrent of disdain and hatred overflowed into a bloody torrent of death and destruction, drowning Neverland in war for years to come. This is where our story begins?the story of the Seven Year War. * This game does require a Microsoft XInput controller if not played on a touch enabled Tablet device.More

Excellent Strategy RPG
This is a full-blown strategy RPG. It has everything with the exception of voice acting. The storyline is a bit hard to follow at times, especially since the story may be progressed by the players' choosing. I've always wanted a more mobile SRPG to play that wasn't terrible or too short, and this is the only one I found and it's great. I've played it for over 40 hours now and I must be somewhere in the middle of the game or 2/3 of the way. It's still entertaining and the battle system is what keeps this game interesting and fun for me. I really hope that they will bring Blazing Souls to the Windows Store soon too. It would be a tragedy for a whole genre of tablet users to not have these stellar games to play on the Windows tablets or phones.More

Not the best in the series, but still a great game
This is an excellent purchase for any fans of tactical / strategy games as well as fans of JRPGs. While it isn't the best in the series, the game has a massive breadth of gameplay and tactical options and an actual story to go along with it. The UI could be a little more friendly, but it is only a minor problem. If you're looking for a "mobile experience" consisting of mindless clicking, this is not for you. However, if you're looking for a true quality game, this should be right up your alley.More

Great tactics game play, but pricey.
Great game play like final fantasy tactics. The controls are a little strange at first, but you get used to it. The storyline is confusing, but I could care less. I know this game is just ported over, but I wish the graphics were a little better to justify the price.More

Not worth $16
This game is very similar to Final Fantasy Tactics in gameplay -- the battles are fun. The touch screen controls worked well, although menu selections are not as intuitive as the should be and it often isn't clear what different commands do. Part of this is a translation problem. Dialogue is tediously boring, and the story is both stupid and confusing. The bottom line is that this would be an excellent game for $5 -- but $16 is laughable. Wait until the price drops.More

First "Real" game for Win 8
Please do not judge this game based on previous reviews. The controls for this game are absolutely fine! I went out and grabbed a wired Xbox controller and I don't even use it. The touch controls are, in my opinion, better than the Xbox controller controls. This is a classic tactics style JRPG and it is very deep. I picked this game up having never played any version of it before, and I am so glad I did. The sheer level of party and weapon combinations is amazing. Expect 150-250 hours of play.More

Don't buy it.
The controls are terrible. This is a port from a console so it seems. Everything is used or accessed from the dpad except the escape menu. I am a big fan of jrpgs, but for $15, no way. Its a strategy rpg like ogre tactics and wild arms so don't expect any great level grinding either. If it was $5 or lower, it would maybe be a 4 out of 5.More

Great game!
This game is total self-indulgence for Japanese R.P.G fans! If you like Final Fantasy Tactics then you will love Spectral Souls. The controls are fine, on a touch screen device, and if you are on a non touch device you can map the controls to your keyboard, or controller. Works perfect.More

Great recipe XAnnete, My banana's were a little mushy also, but that is because they were overipe, I dont think banana's that were not so ripe would go mushy! You could always add the banana's toward the end of cooking, if you wanted them more firm! But.......we loved this recipe and the banana's being mushy phased no-one! We had it for breakfast over pancakes and apart from cutting the fruit, it took no time at all. I made the pancakes whilst the fruit was in the oven, and everything just fell into place when serving! Everone loved it, sweet and yummy, I agree with April Showers this recipe would go so well served with ice-cream as well! These Baked Apples and Bananas can be served in so many ways, the possibilites would be endless!! Loved it here XAnnette, a great big 5 Stars here. Will be making again! Thanks.
I cut the recipe in half but used 2 bananas and 1 apple. After I had already sliced the fruit I realized I didn't have any apple juice after all, so I used OJ instead. Also didn't have any dark brown sugar so I used all light. Left out the vanilla. This was good, and it would have been even better on top of french toast or waffles or ice cream.
Sorry this didn't work out for me. I cut the recipe in half but I used Splenda for the dark brown sugar since I only had Splenda brown sugar blend. I just think this wasn't my taste. The bananas got kind of mushy in the oven-just not my kind of taste or style with bananas. Thanks anyway!
I did mine totally in the microwave. First I boiled until the sugar melted, added the vanilla then stirred in the fruit, put back in the micro and cooked for about 8 minutes until it bubbled. This was great on our eggo( was lazy) waffles and what was left I had only to warm it back up in the microwave and mix it into my Special K cereal for a special treat. Thanks for a recipe with endless possiblities.!!

Fire destroys barn in East MontpelierApril 24,2013Jennifer Langille Photo
Firefighters from throughout the region rushed to the scene of a brush fire which destroyed a barn at the Carver Tree Farm on Casavant Road in East Montpelier Wednesday afternoon. According to Keith Hudson, who was the first on the scene, the two story barn was engulfed in flamed when he arrived on the scene early Wednesday afternoon. East Montpelier Fire Chief Ty Rolland said that approximately 50 firefighters responded to the blaze which swept through the barn and surrounding land. The firefighters managed to keep the fire from jumping the road and destroying the home on Gosavant Rd in East Montpelier. Firefighters were continuing to hose down the smoking brush, and estimated that between 4 and 5 acres had been exposed. Among the departments that responded were East Montpelier, Plainfield, Barre Town, Calais, Worcester, Berlin, and Montpelier
Staff Report
EAST MONTPELIER - An afternoon fire destroyed a barn and some farming equipment at the Carver Family Tree Farm on Casavant Road.
About 50 firefighters from seven area departments responded to the blaze around 2:30 p.m. No injuries were reported. The barn, which contained equipment used by the Carvers, was destroyed.
The cause of the blaze is unknown.
Fire crews had the blaze under control, but around 3:45 p.m. they were still monitoring hot spots on a 4 acre to 5 acre area.

(LAS VEGAS, NV) -- Fashion Model and Skyrocketing Starlet, Veronica Ricci, has an energetic lifestyle. Ever since photos of the gorgeous college co-ed graced the covers and centerfolds of many popular magazines, including Hustler® and Penthouse®, Veronica's fans have gone wild with delight. But, as runner-up winner for the title of 2010 Penthouse PetTM of the Year, Veronica has little (if any) time to meet and greet fans.
So, when the 22 year old announced she would be at the 2010 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) a few weeks ago, she made a Big splash at her first personal appearance in a fan-focused public event. Signing autographs and representing her sponsors in the A.I. Studios booth kept Veronica Ricci running in high-gear, as her feverish admirers lined up for the rare opportunity to meet the young celebrity. Enthusiastic crowds clamored for a picture with, or a glimpse of, the alluring Veronica, who's been in the spotlight recently on TV and radio shows nationwide. And it's her army of adoring fans that proves the saying true talent will always be in demand!
''We are Very honored and excited to have a celebrity such as Veronica Ricci signed with our team,'' discussed Dave Phoenixxx, President of A.I. Studios. ''From hosting the official after-party, to red carpet photo ops, she simply radiates with a unique mix of natural allure and shy subtlety. She is simply angelic. Veronica truly is a rising star who is sure to make waves in the entertainment industry!''
Fans can mix and mingle with Veronica, and her Penthouse® friends at the Penthouse® Magazine SuperParty (www.ThePenthouseSuperParty.com) set for this Saturday, February 6th, in the Passion Nightclub in Hollywood, FL. During the SuperParty Veronica will be given her brand new signature key-shaped diamond necklace presented to her by Marc Bell, CEO of Penthouse® Media Group.
''I'm thrilled and honored to be a member of the Penthouse family, everyone's so wonderful! And I'm really excited about the new developments for 2010,'' Veronica said with a giddy exuberance. ''This week I'm in Florida for the SuperParty, and then it's off to LA for the XBIZ Award Show and red carpet. After that some quality time with my friends online, and video games. Lock and load your weapons, I'm deadly!''
West Coast-based fans can mark their calendars for Wednesday, Feb. 10th, to meet Veronica Ricci in Los Angeles at the 2010 XBIZ Awards, held in conjunction with the XBIZ LA Conference (www.XBizAwards.com).

Prep For Artini With A So-Tasty Cocktail You Can Make Tonight
One of our favorite spring events, the Corcoran Gallery of Art's Artini soiree, never fails to disappoint — after all, how can you go wrong with amazing art, inspiring drinks, and a creative-cocktail dress code? This year's bash takes place on Friday, March 22, and we're already thinking about outfits — especially now that it's just over a week away.
If you're not familiar with how Artini works, here's the breakdown: Mixologists from all over the District take inspiration from a work of art and create a cocktail to match; you can try each drink during dedicated "Feature Nights" at the corresponding venues, and a percentage of proceeds benefits NOW at the Corcoran. Finally, the most popular cocktail is unveiled during the big bash at the gallery. You still have the chance to sample three of the specialty drinks during Feature Nights at Zentan, Jack Rose Dining Saloon, and Ambar, but we've got a special insider treat for you — click through to whip up the cocktail from Jack Rose mixologist Amy Russell in the comfort of your very own kitchen!
Tickets to Artini are $125-$200 and available here.

Inspired by View of Marshfield by Martin Johnson Heade, Russell concocted a vibrant green cocktail she dubbed "Verdant Passion." "View of Marshfield brings me back home to Maryland's Eastern Shore," Russell says. "I want to capture the feeling of the sun on your face, a salty breeze, and earthy vegetation all around you. I am using briny and earthy spirits, combined with vegetal and earthy components, to recreate that experience."
1 1/2 oz Mezcal Benevá Joven
1 1/2 oz of green vegetable juice (Russell uses one with kale, apple, spinach, ginger, romaine, cucumber, celery, parsley, and lemon)
1/4 oz honey syrup
2 drops Pür Spirits elderflower liqueur

R29 Book Club: Boris & Theo's Not-So-Excellent Adventure
Welcome back to the R29 Book Club! If this is your first time with us, we've just gotten through the middle portion of The Goldfinch. So, let's dive right in. First, congratulations to Theo (and to us, as readers) for escaping the hellish desert that was Las Vegas. At one point, I may or may not have described the middle...

Sometimes, a good book is the only companion you need on a lazy summer afternoon. CBS News Sunday Morning contributor Janet Maslin of the New York Times has a few suggestions for you.
It's a hot book, but you might find yourself dozing off to "The Historian," the best-selling and weighty-looking Dracula novel by Elizabeth Kostova.
Here's a book that certainly looks substantial, not to mention lurid, what with all its talk of Vlad the Impaler. But it could have just as well been named "The Librarian," because it's so full of research and letter-writing and stalling. In the words of one disappointed Dracula fan: "I'd rather dig a ditch than read that book again."
But the good, exciting books can be just as hard to spot as the duds are.
Take "The Traveler," a mysterious sci-fi adventure with a famously mysterious author who uses the pseudonym John Twelve Hawks. That gimmick alone is enough to make the whole thing suspect, and so are any comparisons to "The Matrix" or "Star Wars" or "The Lord of the Rings." But this writer has come up with the summer's real hit: a book with enough new ideas to stage a fresh cosmic battle between good and evil. Get hooked on this first installment, and you'll sign on for the rest of a projected trilogy.
The so-called "beach book" genre also makes its winners hard to spot. Partly, that's because there are so many of them: glossy-looking escapist stories of the rich, famous and wicked. Among these, the season's sharpest stiletto would appear to be Tilly Bagshawe's "Adored," a book as decorative as its characters. It's a great-looking throwback to the Hollywood of Harold Robbins and Jacqueline Susann.
