SANTA CLARA -- A smiling Colin Kaepernick stood on the edge of the 49ers practice field and spoke Wednesday with excitement about his future, on and off the field.
From a legal standpoint, Kaepernick professed his innocence regarding an April incident with a woman in Miami, adding he's "very eager" for the state attorney to review the case now that Miami police have concluded their investigation.
"I did nothing wrong in that incident, so I want to do everything I can to let the D.A. close this matter," Kaepernick said in his first media session with Bay Area reporters since the NFC Championship defeat.
From a football standpoint, Kaepernick raved about his upgraded receiving corps, one that hasn't included tight end Vernon Davis as voluntary workouts picked up this week.
Rather than hold out for new contracts entering the final year of their rookie deals, Kaepernick and favorite target Michael Crabtree looked in sync on the second day of organized team activities.
"It's picking up where we left off. Also at this point, he's healthier than where he was," Kaepernick said of Crabtree. "He's had more time to rehab, more time to spend running and getting in shape and working on routes. It's always exciting to have (No.) 15 on the field."
Crabtree tore his right Achilles on the first day of OTAs a year ago, and he returned in December to help the 49ers' playoff push. But more receiving help was needed, so to complement Crabtree and Anquan Boldin, the 49ers brought in veterans Stevie Johnson and Brandon Lloyd, along with fourth-round draft pick Bruce Ellington.
"Kap said it the other day: He feels like he has a stable of receivers," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "Maybe that's the first time we've said that."
Harbaugh reiterated he wants Kaepernick to land a lucrative contract extension, a "process" that could wind up before he begins his second full season as the 49ers starter.
"I really expect a real breakout year for Colin," Harbaugh said. "Athletically, he looks bionic. If you all remember the 'Six Million Dollar Man,' that's what it looks like to me. He's very gifted and always has been.
"He has the look and feel of a guy that's going to break out even more so than he already has. I'm really excited about everything about his game right now."
While Kaepernick lets his agents at XAM Sports handle his contract, he's focused on improving his game, especially in the red zone. The past two seasons have ended with his unsuccessful throws to the end zone.
"That's something I constantly think about," Kaepernick said. "Whether it's taking a checkdown or whether it's making a big throw at the end of the championship game, what can I do different to make sure I'm making those plays?"
A possible solution to those woes is Lloyd, who made a nice sliding catch in the end zone Wednesday. Lloyd said his connection with Kaepernick is going "real good," and the quarterback is well aware of Lloyd's "success down there" with 35 career touchdowns before sitting out 2013.
Though Kaepernick did not visit an outside coach to work on throwing mechanics this offseason, he did work out in Florida with Boldin and Quinton Patton before the 49ers offseason program began last month.
Patton was listed with Kaepernick and Seattle Seahawks wideout Ricardo Lockette in an April police report by an unidentified female who claimed she partied with the trio before waking up naked in a bed in their apartment and eventually going to a hospital.
A Miami police report stated that the woman claimed to have had a previous relationship with Kaepernick but did not have sex with him that night. According to 911 audio, a hotel security guard and a man believed to be Lockette both called police asking to have the woman removed from Kaepernick's suite.
"The district attorney has the information today. At this point, I'm going to let them handle their business," Kaepernick said.

Nature plays an essential role in the myth of Arion saved from the waters. In order to tell this story, Moreau portrays the musician-poet as an Eastern prince and surrounds him with craggy rocks borrowed from the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
The legend of the Greek lyric poet and musician Arion comes to us from Herodotus. While returning to Corinth after a trip to Sicily, Arion is robbed of his wealth and thrown into the sea by sailors on his ship. Thanks to the intervention of Apollo, a dolphin rescues him and carries him to the shore on its back. The god transforms Arion's lyre and the dolphin into a constellation in memory of the adventure.
Ancient mythology enabled Gustave Moreau to express "the sublime logic of the imagination" which guided his work. However, the poet distanced himself from what he called "that hackneyed old classical Greek style" and invented a visual universe drawing the daring intensity of his colours and a taste for the arabesque from the most exotic sources ranging from India to Japan.
In the year in which he painted this work for Jules Clément Chaplain, the lithographer, sculptor and medal engraver, Moreau emerged from the isolation of his studio to teach at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts [School of Fine Art]. His students, notably Rouault, Matisse and Marquet, appreciated his open-mindedness and his influence extended beyond the school to artists such as Odilon Redon, George Desvallières and the Belgian Symbolists.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Morehead State softball team had a pair of student-athletes named to the College Sports Madness Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference Teams.
Senior infielder Amber Riddle was a first team selection, while fellow senior infielder Stephanie Etter was named to the second-team.
Riddle, a native of Morehead, Ky., was named to CSM's postseason All-OVC first-team in 2012, was a National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Midwest Region First-Team selection and was a Second-Team All-OVC selection.
She started all 50 games at first base and set the single-season homerun record (12). Riddle also led MSU in batting average (.391), RBI (40), walks (27) and slugging percentage (.653). She was also second in runs (28), hits (53) and on-base percentage (.466). In conference play, Riddle led all OVC players with a .413 batting average.
North Lawrence, Ohio, native Etter started all 50 games at second base in 2012 and was ranked third on the Eagles' squad with a .306 batting average. She tallied 36 runs, 48 hits and 15 RBI. On the base path, Etter was 12-for-15 in stolen bases.
The Eagles open the 2013 season in Miami, Fla., at the Feisberg Memorial Tournament.

The heat was too much for a snowman in North Dakota.
Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena tells The Bismarck Tribune (http://bit.ly/St33Ol) that the snowman was destroyed Wednesday in an explosion. Buschena says the police report does not say whether the snowman was made up of snow or a holiday decoration. There was no damage amount listed for the snowman.
A 47-year-old woman reported the exploding snowman when she called to tell authorities about an explosion outsider her home.
An officer who responded to the scene found black duct tape and pieces of sparklers in the yard and in the street.
Buschena says another neighbor reported seeing a white Chevrolet Suburban stop in front of the home and toss something from a window.
Buschena says there are no suspects.

Suspects in a downtown triple shooting are still on the loose.
Three men were shot at Gunther's Lounge, 2238 Milledgeville Road, early Saturday morning, June 10.
This is not the first shooting this bar has seen.
Officers and the owner of Gunther's Lounge say the sound of gunshots is not uncommon.
The violence claimed two lives back in November...and the father of one of Saturday's three victims tells us he's thankful his son made it out alive.
"Just having a beer at the wrong place at the wrong time," says Philip Henley. Henley's son, John Dashiells, went to Gunther's Lounge with a few friends Friday night.
A couple hours past midnight, Henley's phone rang.
"I was told he got shot and was on his way to the hospital."
Dashiells and two others shot right outside the lounge.
"Fortunately this was not a fatal shooting...but anytime three shots are fired in the same instance...it's serious and we want to bring it to resolution ASAP," says Sgt. Richard Roundtree of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
Sgt. Roundtree says witnesses are reluctant to talk. The two who came forward that morning say a crowd rushed out to their cars after hearing the shots outside.
Roundtree is looking into possible connections between this and the several other shootings in this same area over the past year.
The bar owner says all the trouble usually starts in a parking lot across the street.
But the violence doesn't seem to be keeping customers away. Witnesses say the crowd made it hard to figure out where the shots came from.
Here's what officers know so far.
"We have a description of three to four subjects armed with handguns involved in an altercation turned violent," says Sgt. Roundtree.
Phillip Henley says his son may have been part of the altercation.
"He's still responding, he talking as if nothing never happened, but he know he been shot."
That's why Henley hopes Dashiells won't go back to Gunther's anytime soon.
"It ain't no place for no one to want to sit down and enjoy yourself cause it's one door, one way in and out."
Officers say they found shell casings from the shooting.
Officials expect all three victims, John Dashiells, Curtis Bell, and Latrarouis Green to recover.
One victim was shot in the arm, one in the torso, and one in the head. All three survived.
This isn't the first shooting at Gunther's Lounge.
Back in November of 2005, two men were killed in the parking lot of the nightclub and liquor store.
As this case, witnesses were slow to come forward after the deaths of Steve Martin and Michael Bogans.

Thibodaux man, 75, suffered heart attack in ATV accident
Published: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 8:46 p.m.
A 75-year-old man died in Thibodaux early Wednesday morning while riding an ATV, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.
Charles Terracina, who celebrated his birthday Tuesday, was on his way to see family at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday but never arrived. Sheriff's deputies said they later found Terracina, a native of Thibodaux, underneath the overturned ATV alongside Home Cottage Road.
An autopsy revealed that, Terracina suffered a heart attack during the accident. Sheriff's office spokesman Brennan Matherne said that the cause of death is still considered an accident, and that investigators have not yet determined if Terracina suffered the heart attack before or after the ATV crashed.
It is the second time in 13 days that a fatality has occurred involving an off-road vehicle.
John Farmer, 14, was killed Nov. 3 in Houma when the side-by- side off-road vehicle he was on overturned and landed on top of him in a ditch alongside the road.
According to statistics provided by Concerned Parents for ATV Safety, Terracina is the 13th person killed in Louisiana this year while riding an ATV.
After Farmer's death, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter and Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis both pledged to enact a zero-tolerance policy on improper use of off-road vehicles, which are not allowed on public roads and highways.
The 13-year-old driver of the off-road vehicle that John Farmer was in was arrested and charged with negligent homicide, negligent injury, no driver's license and operating an unsafe vehicle. The owner of the vehicle was given a summons for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and allowing unlicensed minors to drive.

It's that time of year again: the time when deer become more active — and more likely to run out in front of your car.
The state Thruway Authority and state police say October through November and May through June are the most common times for car-deer collisions. Last year, 2,053 such incidents occurred along the Thruway.
Any driver who hits a deer should make every attempt to drive their vehicle onto the right shoulder, activate four-way flashers, call 911 and wait in the vehicle until help arrives.
Of course, avoiding them altogether is usually better. Here are a few tips:
• Pay attention to deer-crossing signs, especially along the Thruway. These signs indicate a history of frequent deer crossings in the area.
• Be especially aware of deer during their peak activity times — dawn and dusk — and their peak seasons — May/June and October/November
• Scan shoulders of the roadside for deer eyes reflecting light.
• One deer crossing the road may indicate others are about to cross. Watch for other deer — they will move fast to catch up with leaders, mothers, or mates and may not pay attention to traffic.
• Do not rely on high beams or honking your horn to warn deer.
• Deer often use woodlots, fencerows, field edges or areas near water. Extra caution is needed when these habitats are close to the Thruway.
• Always buckle your seat belt. Ejection from a vehicle is the main reason that fatalities occur in a collision.
• Deer hooves slip on pavement and a deer may fall in front of your vehicle just when you think it is jumping away.
• Increase the distance between your vehicle and other cars, especially at night. If the car ahead of you hits a deer, you may also become involved in the accident.
• If a collision is unavoidable, hold onto the steering wheel; do not swerve to avoid hitting the deer. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The most serious vehicle versus deer accidents occur when drivers swerve at high speeds to elude a deer, and then strike another vehicle, a tree or roll over.
• If you are involved in a vehicle versus deer collision, do not attempt to approach or touch the deer.

The story of the show is the badass, explosively funky You Enjoy My Brick House (I just made that up, clever huh). In a year full of great YEMs, this one just might be my favorite. As mentioned earlier, Mike steals the show in the second set and he is just phenomenal in this YEM. The whole jam is smoking. The Mike train keeps on rolling in Contact and BBFCFM, and the BBFCFM-Acoustic Army sandwich makes for an interesting juxtaposition. You may recognize Bill Bailey from Dr. McConell's other sit ins with the band. It's an alright song, but more of a novelty than a musical highlight.
Solid show. YEM is Must-Hear.

Was Worldcat Designed By People Who Actually Use Libraries?
Update: Attention has been paid! Please see the comments for a nice response from a WorldCat representative. We now have an answer to the title question: Yes.
My beloved university library has now switched over from an in-house computerized catalogue to using WorldCat. There are definite advantages to this, and some neat things WorldCat can do.
But for all its many useful features, I wonder: Does anybody at WorldCat actually use libraries?
Let's say you are the sort of person who takes out more than one book at a time from a library. Perhaps you're doing a research project. You might want to find, for instance, books where the author is named Matthew Cheney (you must be really desperate for something to read). We'll put aside for the moment the fact that the author search brings up an anthology that includes work by somebody named George Cheney and other work by somebody named Matthew W. Seeger (and thus the author search is only marginally more useful than a keyword search; it is, though, better than a search with "Matthew Cheney" in quotation marks, since that search doesn't even bring up a book for which Mr. Cheney is listed in the author field — which, in the old catalogue, was the only book that came up on that author search [and, arguably, is the only one that should, because it's the only book our library has for which my name is in the author field]). We'll ignore all that because lots of things play into the inaccuracies of searches, and there's a fine art to search improvement. WorldCat can certainly get better at it, but it's not awful.
What's awful becomes apparent when you think about yourself as a person doing research in actual books that are in the library. Let's say the author search on Matthew Cheney works just fine for you. You see what you need — for instance, Logorrhea and Handbook of Public Relations (because you realize that public relations and logorrhea are exactly what you want to write a paper on). You don't need to search anymore, you've found what you need. Now you just need to go find the books and see if they're actually useful to you.
But how will you find the books? The search screen lists titles, authors, publishers, media, etc. ... but not the call number.
How do we know that WorldCat was designed by people who don't get books out of libraries? Because call numbers are vital information that is relegated only to each specific book's page (and in a fairly small font). So to find a book, you have to go to its page.
That may not seem like a big deal if you've never used a library. If you have, though, it's probably pretty obvious to you how annoying it is.
Okay, I know it's not that big a problem to go into every book's page and then write down the call number for yourself. It's a waste of time and it's annoying, but you're going to be looking at individual book pages with some frequency, anyway, because a lot of the time a basic search results screen doesn't have enough information with which to evaluate the usefulness of the book. (Often it does, though. Recently, I did a keyword search for "pentagon hollywood", looking for books about the relationship between Hollywood and the U.S. military. The first item on the list was obviously the book I wanted, and nothing else that came up was immediately useful.)
But limiting the display of call numbers only to the book's individual page is a huge waste of potential for WorldCat. Consider the ability to create lists, a potentially useful function that is currently pretty useless (at least to me, somebody who gets books out of the library). It's got all sorts of social media functions, ability to share, export, etc. — but nowhere are call numbers visible in the list!
So let's say you don't necessarily want to make a list of books to share with your socially mediated friends, you don't want to make a list into a bibliography, you just want to make a list of books to get at the library. (A bizarre thing to do, I know!) You can make the list, but you won't be able to easily find the books in the physical library.
Am I really the only person who searches for books from home and then needs a simple list of titles and call numbers to find the books in the library?
Imagine what a wonder the list function would be if it included call numbers! Or even if you could sort the list by call numbers so that then you knew which of the books you were looking for were near each other! I know it's an esoteric request and most people are probably not like me — I usually go to the library with a handwritten list of 10-20 books to take a look at — so knowing whether a book is on the first floor or third floor may not be all that important ... but still. WorldCat can show the holdings of 7200 libraries, but it can't figure out that call numbers are essential information?
Though I've written this primarily to vent an annoyance in public, and I've submitted feedback to WorldCat, there's a larger point. WorldCat is now a perfect example of a tool that gives us access to all sorts of information and services ... but in doing so has lost sight of what information is most important and useful. It's software created by people who clearly know a lot about programming, but who don't seem to have done enough reflection on how patrons actually use libraries. One of the things good librarians know is that in this world of information overload, the presentation and filtering of information is as important as access to it.

Hi Matthew from a fellow Granite stater closer to the seacoast. Thanks for your comments to help make WorldCat.org and WorldCat Local (your library's specific "view" of WorldCat that incorporates additional electronic and digital content, journals, etc that Plymouth State subscribes to) even better for the library-using population.ReplyDelete
We've done extensive user testing and will continue to refine the user experience moving forward to make sure you (and other people like you) are getting the MOST useful information in as few screens and clicks as possible. The placement of call numbers is very important for exactly the use cases you describe, and your example is helpful. Thank you, too, for taking the time to submit feedback through the feedback tool and again here in a public forum. This way we can continue to improve and refine the experience for everyone. Please keep sending your feedback!
Thanks so much for responding to my cry into the internet wilderness, Alice! I look forward to seeing Worldcat become refined and improved further, as it's already an impressive tool.ReplyDelete

The T-Lymphocyte Biology Unit (TBU) performs research on the regulation of T-cell responses to chronic microbial infections, with the goal of developing methods to both enhance pathogen control and prevent immune mediated pathology.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an important human pathogen, as it infects 9.3 million people each year and leads to 1.3 million deaths. The success of Mtb as a pathogen is due to its ability to establish a lifelong pulmonary infection. T-helper cells are able to slow the growth of the bacilli and contain the infection for years, but little is known about the mechanisms controlling T-cell function during chronic Mtb infection.
The TBU has a major interest in the cell-surface inhibitory receptor PD-1. PD-1 is a co-inhibitory member of the CD28 family that plays a major role in attenuating CD4 and CD8 T-cell effector functions during chronic viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, as well as in cancer. Blockade of the PD-1 pathway has been shown to boost T-cell responses and enhance clearance of pathogens and tumors. However, inhibitory signals through PD-1 also play a major beneficial role in regulating autoreactive T-cells and sometimes are critical for preventing damaging immunopathology during infection.
Our recent work has shown that, in the case of Mtb infection, the absence of PD-1 causes CD4 T-cell responses to switch from host-protective to detrimental and actually drive fatal disease. This illustrates how not only the generation but also the appropriate negative regulation of T-cell responses is critical during Mtb infection. A major goal of the TBU is to characterize the mechanisms through which regulatory pathways, including PD-1, facilitate T-cell-dependent control or exacerbation of Mtb infection.
M. tuberculosis and M. avium are common causes of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected patients due to the requirement for Th1 cells in control of mycobacterial infections, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) usually restores CD4 T-cell-dependent protective immunity. However, instead of the expected improvement in symptoms, HIV patients with co-infections sometimes experience a rapid deterioration, referred to as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), soon after initiating ART. IRIS has become a major problem in the clinical management of the HIV pandemic, and very little is understood about the mechanisms of pathology or factors determining the susceptibility to IRIS. We have developed a robust model of experimentally induced IRIS in M. avium-infected, T-cell-deficient mice. A major goal of the TBU will be to use this system to define the basic principles of IRIS, with the aim of generating hypotheses that can be tested in IRIS patients in collaboration with clinical investigators at the National Institutes of Health. Understanding CD4 T-cell repopulation of microbial-infected lymphopenic hosts may lead to novel therapeutic approaches that prevent IRIS and further decrease morbidity and mortality in HIV patients during ART.
Infection with the ubiquitous fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is another leading cause of death in AIDS patients. A related organism, Cryptococcus gattii, even has the ability to cause disease in otherwise healthy individuals. The only drug treatments for these infections cause serious side effects, and there is currently no vaccine to prevent cryptococcal infections. Another objective of TBU is to understand the determinants of host-protective immune responses against different Cryptococcus species.

Solar energy has many benefits regarding the environment. After all, this source of energy will not solar panel extension leads be depleted any time soon. However, you must determine whether or not it makes financial sense for you to invest in this alternative energy. The following article can help you determine just that.
If you just want to partially go solar, check out smaller-scale solar power applications. This is accomplished in one of two ways. The first is to get solar panels that you can attach onto windows – these can be used to recharge portable electronic gadgets. The second is to look for solar equipment aimed at campers, such as lanterns and stoves. Every little thing you do, can help reduce costs on your energy bill.
You need a reliable method for storing energy that's produced from the solar energy system. Find a battery good enough to store power for a long time or stay connected to the grid to sell the power you produce and draw the power you need instead of storing it.
Some solar panels are not adjustable but you will get better results if you invest in a mount that allows you to change the angle and orientation of your panels. Those in extreme temperatures may have a difficult time with this decision.
Just because you live in an area that is cold doesn't mean you can't have solar power to keep you warm and run your house. You don't need perfectly direct sunlight, or a specific temperature, to use solar energy to fulfill your energy needs. Great solar power output can come on poor weather days.
Do a careful estimation of your energy usage needs and how many panels you will need with someone who knows all of the points to consider. Depending on your location, solar panels might be too expensive when overhead and output potential are taken into consideration. If you wait to see if they are going to save you money after your purchase, you could end up being very unpleasantly surprised.
After installing solar panels, make it a point to monitor the inverter. Look for a green light (or other verification). Call your technician if you see some blinking lights or notice some lights are off. Most owners do not know how to troubleshoot problems with solar panels. A technician shouldn't cost a thing if the panels came with the common 25-year warranty.
Cars that operate on solar power can cut down on carbon emissions a lot, but this system is not perfect yet. Fortunately, there are many accessible ways we can use the sun's energy to power through our daily lives. For instance, you can use solar-powered generators. These generators are particularly great for dealing with long power outages.
A solar panel investment under consideration means you need to be tracking the weather in your area. You will get the most from them if you get five hours of sunlight a day where you live. If most days are cloudy or if snow covers your roof during the winter, you should explore other forms of green energy.
To make sure that your solar panels are operating at maximum efficiency, do a routine check a couple of times a year. Technicians check to ensure that all your connections and your power inverter are working correctly, and they also ensure the solar panels are angled properly.
If you are considering giving your business to a solar energy company, check on its financial standing first. Ensure that the business you choose is reputable and doing well. This ensures your warranty is good down the road.
Sun trackers can help use the most sun possible. This is a device that adjusts solar panels automatically for the best orientation to the sun. They're pricier than fixed panels, the boosted energy production will offset the expenses.
Remember that solar panels need not go on top of your roof. You can place solar panels in your yard if you don't want them on your roof. Panels with the ability to adjust position and track the sun can gather more sunlight than stationary roof panels. Having said that, solar panels will take up a lot of space in a yard.
You may be able to have a solar energy system installed at a huge discount, or possibly even for free. Solar energy is big right now and the government might even give you money to install a system.
Solar energy isn't a failing proposition just because some popular companies have failed. Actually, using solar energy can help you save lots of money when it comes to home energy costs. Look for local solutions who can support you at times that you might need them.
Generally speaking, a solar energy system for home heating costs $4000 – $6000. Your monthly saving will add up and your solar powered system will pay for itself and pay you back in the years after that. Solar panels can be installed in small increments.
Solar energy is a great option for those that have high electric bills and lots of sunlight daily. In this case, it will be a worthwhile initial investment in installation and maintenance.
Start the purchasing process with an estimation of your electrical demands, the duration of sunlight on the best spots around your home, and then decide on the ideal shape and size of your panel. You need to invest in a solar energy system that is adapted to your needs and location.
Check your panels' condition frequently. Solar energy panels don't need much maintenance, but you should still check them to be sure they haven't been damaged and aren't dirty. Don't accrue a costly bill before realizing there is something wrong.
If you're building a home, put in big windows on the side of the house that faces the south; this will be of help when trying to get sun during wintertime. You should also choose your materials carefully, picking ones that reduce the amount of heat absorbed during the summer months. There are pros that can help with designing your energy-efficient homes.
Solar power is a fantastic renewable energy. But you should consider many factors before deciding if solar power is the right choice for you. Apply the above information as you decide. Hopefully, solar power will soon be your energy source.

(Most recent updates in separate comment on 8/29/10)
My oldest son recently asked if I'd build him a solid body electric guitar…. my 2nd guitar project. We agreed on a unique slightly goth shape, green curly maple front, and a black back made from ash. A purchased unfinished Les Paul style neck is on order, which will likely be painted black. The head stock will be shaped to compliment the body…maybe some color compliments too. It'll be trimmed with gold and black hardware. The pickups will be a GFS Fatbody single neck, Wilkinson single mid, and a double humbucker from an OLP John Petrucci Signature guitar. We're still deciding on a wiring scheme, but it'll likely be a simple 5-way switch, tone, and volume pots.
So far I've traced out a template shape that I'd acually build for him (first few way more radical), cut the front and back blanks from the template, and have shaped the front using a combination of router bits and hand chisels. Lots of sanding too! I've also cut a chamber for the electronics in the back, and have fashioned a cover. The back will likely be painted black, but since the first step in popping the grain on the maple was to stain it black, I stained the back at the same time…no harm done, and if the paint ever chips, it'll reveal black stained ash. The next step was to sand off the black stain, leaving just the darkened grain on the maple. Kelly green was then added to stain the front. I was ready to give the Transtint dyes from Woodcraft a shot, but rather than make the 28 mile round trip and spend $18 per 2 oz bottle, I decided to experiment with the RIT fabric dyes from local stores…$3 each, and so far the results have been really good.
The template:

The front side of the back piece with the chamber for switches hogged out:
The back stained black, with chamber cover (back will get black lacquer):
The maple front after receiving black stain, then sanded:
The maple front stained green:
More to come!
Updates from 8/17/10:
Here's where things stand as of noon today. All the parts and hardware are in.
Here's the top with the natural maple revealed on the sides. There's one coat of spar varnish to protect the stained surface, plus help prevent fading.
The back now has black paint. While rounding over the edges, we liked the look of the natural ash revealed as well, so we've decided to keep it….got some sanding ahead.
Here's the top and back together next to the unfinished Eden neck. The maple and ash should take on a more golden color as we clear coat it. The neck will get black paint.
Since all the parts are here, we couldn't resist a sneak preview of how it'll look. The unfinished neck is just sitting there, as are the pickup covers and knobs. These pics give the illusion that we're much further along than we are, but we're encouraged by the look so far.
Still to come…some sanding of the back, many more clear coats (lacquer), cut outs for the pickups and input jack, more clear coats, fine sanding, shaping the neck, painting the neck, more clear coats, very fine sanding, drilling holes for the tuning pegs, final clear coat, wiring everything, setting the neck, polishing, stringing it, and sound check! (I probably forgot something too…)
Updates from 8/18/10:
Some cosmetic changes took place last night…the two-toned back revealing the natural ash is out, and the back is black again, as planned. It was just too sloppy and detracted.
Here's the painted back, and the top with a couple of clear coats sitting on the back:
Today I added a curly maple veneer to the front side of the neck headstock to match the front of the guitar.
Here's the neck with the veneer in place:
After receiving black dye:
After sanding the black away, the green dye goes on:
Update 8/20/10:
Adding the shop-made curly maple veneer to the front of the headstock was a little tricky because it's attached to an existing neck. My plan to rout down the face to accommodate the thickness of the veneer didn't pan out as planned because the radius on the fretboard made it rock. Instead, I ended up using the flat edge and back of the "paddle blank" as a reference and sliced the cutout on the band saw. Once the veneer was in place and glued, I cut the shape with the BS as much as I could, then sanded to final shape with my OSS. The headstock is now shaping up fairly nicely. The back of the neck will get black paint, then I'll reveal the natural curly maple edge on the headstock like the front of the body. Next I'll drill the holes for tuners, give it more clear coats, and some fine sanding and rubbing to smooth out the eggshell texture, etc.
I'm at what I consider the high risk stage…after hours of planning, cutting, shaping, staining, and sanding, I'm now cutting holes in the front of the guitar. It's easy to inflict a few battle scars, and it generally just stresses me out a little.
The guitar is coming along pretty nicely and faster than I planned, but I've been going at it pretty hard the last couple of days. The shop's a mess, I'm tired, stressed, and need to back away for a while before I really goof something up! (it definitely happens!) Time to mow the lawn, take a nap, tidy up and the shop, and hit the shower. Better to rejuvenate and come back to this later…after all…this is for fun, right?
Update for 8/21/10:
The pressure's on! (on both of us!) I glued and clamped the front to the back today....definitely a critical step. I used the guitar templates to help even the clampling load, and used a piece of scrap plywood to put pressure in the middle....19 clamps in all.
I've also put a coat of paint on the neck and the cavity cover:
Gotta work the next couple of nights, so won't be making much progress for a few days.
Hey - btw: whose pickups, pots and hardware did you go with? I've got to rebuild a semihollow body that I originally made in '96 and I think I'm going to change some things a little bit.
Thanks Matt!
The neck pickup is a GFS Alnico Fatbody single coil with oversized poles. The mid is a Wilkinson single coil Tele bridge pickup. The bridge is a stock dual coil humbucker from an OLP Petrucci Signature that'll be center tapped.
Good luck with your rebuild...please post about it, or at least PM me!
I won't get into mine until early next year. The way things sit I've got a (I think... ) a Super DiMarzio in the bridge position and a Duncan double coil that's sized like a Strat's single coiil in the neck position. I like the Duncan, but am not sold on the DiMarzio. I think I'm going to swap that out for something that's not quite so hot-sounding. I'm going to make a truly chambered jazz box out of it, using this Carvin guitar's cutaway view as the template:
I play Carvins and so feel pretty good about paying homage to their design. But that's next year... nothing even remotely close on the horizon at the moment.
YOURS is looking good, my friend. I greatly look forward to seeing where you go from here.
And... how in the world did you cut for the neck/body joint without the neck in hand? OR did you mill the general shape and size and fine-tune things once the neck showed up?
"And... how in the world did you cut for the neck/body joint without the neck in hand? ..."
That's actually a very good question. We happened to have a bolt on neck from my other son's first "Strat clone" that was pretty much the same size.
His guitar (my first guitar build) has a Dimarzio D-111 in the neck, and a Duncan L'il '59 in the mid, which is a mini dual coil humbucker that fits in a single coil slot....sounds pretty similar to what you described. Duncan only makes a couple like that. The Dimarzio is definitely the hottest of his 3 pickups, but he tends to like the Duncan. I especially like it when he plays it with the 5-way in the 4 position that mixes his Duncan with his OLP bridge humbucker....it's got a thin beaming twang character that sounds like something from the late 50's, early 60's.
A hollow body is one I'd like to build someday. What's the wood on yours?
When I made the body that I'll be getting rid of next year I used basswood beneath a single piece of walnut, then sculpted the sides to create a large radius about like you did.
Problem is, the basswood didn't hold the bridge pins for the one-piece Schaller bridge (with fine tuning violin tuning knobs) very well and things have been pulled and bent forward under the 130 pounds' worth of force of the strings. I did plug and redrill the holes once, but no love there. The thing is pulling iteslf apart.
So next time around I think I'm going to use ash for the part that gets dished like the photo, above, and I'll use the second half of the walnut board (which I still have, uncut, since '96) to make another top. I usually like a Venetian cutaway (sharp lower horn) as opposed to the Florentine cutaway (a round lower horn), but we'll see which direction that takes.
Here's a shot of my current guitar that needs a new body. The neck is from an early '80's Kramer that got a replacement neck and other goofy embellishments. I had this neck kicking around for several years and decided to make a body for it.
Here's the latest for 8/29/10 :
The "final" clear coat has been applied (a couple of times! ...hopefully this is the last). The neck is drilled and the tuners are mounted. The pickups are mounted to their trim rings, and the final electronics scheme is worked out. From here it's a matter of waiting for the lacquer to cure and deciding how much rubbing out I want to do…the results from the spray can are glossy and smooth in most places, but there's some orange peel and overspray spots in a few areas. Once that's done we bolt the neck up, wire the pups and pots together, mount the chamber cover, string it, and find the ear plugs!
I did run into a slight problem on the back where the neck and body meet. When I rounded over the back of the body, I should have stopped at the base of the neck….the roundover makes the edge of the neck narrower than the neck plate. A smaller two-piece neck plate is on order and will hopefully fit. It's one of the many small things amateurs like me are likely to run into, and fortunately, there are several decent fixes for this problem.
Here's the front of the body with the most recent final coat:
...And the back with its most recent final coat:
Here's a look at the original style neck plate that will no longer fit, and the two-piece replacement:
Here's the finished neck and the pups in their trim rings:
And the back of the neck:
For those who are interested, here's the wiring scheme we'll be using…it's an Humbucker/Single/Single (HSS) setup with a 5-way selecter. A push/pull switch in the volume knob will allow single coil sound from the humbucker, giving us 7 different pickup combinations:
A couple of 12 hour night shifts and some family obligations will likely keep me away from it until mid week, but I'm hoping to be done by the end of next weekend. More to come!
Finished 9-3-10....See the completed project here.

Two prolific Aspen real-estate brokers are at odds over an estimated $80 million in property listings, according to a complaint filed in Pitkin County District Court.
Realtor Gary Feldman is suing Joshua Saslove and his firm, Joshua & Co. of Aspen, on allegations that Saslove has gained an unfair business advantage by wrongfully using Feldman's advertising materials and listings. Feldman is asking a court to enter an injunction to forbid Saslove from using the listings. The suit also is seeking a court-appointed receiver to oversee any Saslove commissions that arise from any sales the listings generate.
The suit also accuses Saslove of "cajoling" Feldman's clients to abandon him and take their business to Saslove.
The dispute comes after Saslove "abruptly and unexpectedly terminated" Feldman on May 9, alleges the suit, filed Friday by Aspen lawyer Peter Thomas. The termination, the suit alleges, was spurred by Feldman's effort to enforce a partnership agreement that Saslove denied, the suit says.
In 2007, Saslove hired Feldman, a former president of the Aspen Board of Realtors and the Aspen Realtor of the Year in 1994, from the Coates, Reid and Waldron Realty firm, which Saslove acquired in 2009.
At the time of his hiring, Feldman was made the managing partner of Joshua & Co., and both Feldman and Saslove agreed that if the partnership dissolved, Feldman would be able to retain all of his clients, the suit says.
Meanwhile, Feldman generated "millions of dollars" in revenue for Saslove's firm, but ever since Feldman and Saslove met at Palm Beach, Fla., in February 2012, "Defendants have attempted to deny the existence of any partnership," the suit says.
The suit makes 12 claims for relief and an unspecified amount in damages. It accuses Saslove of misleading Feldman into believing he would be the firm's managing partner.
"It appears that defendants' representations that Mr. Feldman would be a managing partner of the firm were false, were intended to be false and were designed to induce Mr. Feldman to bring his book of business to the firm and serve as its managing partner, without delivery of the agreed-upon consideration of a partnership interest," the suit says.
Phone messages left with Feldman and Saslove seeking comment were not returned Monday.

About the Book
Author Dan Wells is back with the sequel to the sci-fi blockbuster Partials, which Pittacus Lore called a "thrilling sci-fi adrenaline rush, with one of the most compelling and frightening visions of Earth's future I've seen yet."
After discovering the cure for RM, Kira Walker sets off on a terrifying journey into the ruins of postapocalyptic America and the darkest desires of her heart in order to uncover the means—and a reason—for humanity's survival.
Dan Wells extends his richly imagined, gritty world and introduces new memorable characters in this second installment in the Partials Sequence.
Kira Walker has found the cure for RM, but the battle for the survival of humans and Partials is just beginning. Kira has left East Meadow in a desperate search for clues to who she is. That the Partials themselves hold the cure for RM in their blood cannot be a coincidence—it must be part of a larger plan, a plan that involves Kira, a plan that could save both races. Her companions are Afa Demoux, an unhinged drifter and former employee of ParaGen, and Samm and Heron, the Partials who betrayed her and saved her life, the only ones who know her secret. But can she trust them?
Meanwhile, back on Long Island, what's left of humanity is gearing up for war with the Partials, and Marcus knows his only hope is to delay them until Kira returns. But Kira's journey will take her deep into the overgrown wasteland of postapocalyptic America, and Kira and Marcus both will discover that their greatest enemy may be one they didn't even know existed.
The second installment in the pulse-pounding Partials saga is the story of the eleventh hour of humanity's time on Earth, a journey deep into places unknown to discover the means—and even more important, a reason—for our survival.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com (Carson City, Nev.; November 4, 2013) — Nevada businesses statewide will save time and more easily navigate OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration) compliance with the new addition of the state's OSHA safety and health requirements on SilverFlume, Nevada's Business Portal. SilverFlume aims to improve the often time-consuming and headache-inducing nature of starting a business by gathering regulatory and licensing agencies in one place for business customers. SilverFlume's new partnership with the Nevada Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) achieves the business portal's goal of streamlining the licensing process, while encouraging thousands of businesses to be compliant with the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). "We are proud to have the Nevada Safety Consultation and Training Section on board at SilverFlume, and we hope that this crucial step in the business licensing process will assist many companies with creating and maintaining safe work environments for their employees," said Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller. The new step in the SilverFlume Business Checklist requires Nevada employers to acknowledge that their employees will read the Nevada Workplace Rights and Responsibilities brochure or view the Rights and Responsibilities video. Employers are also given links to SCATS' current training schedule, free upcoming safety classes, and required workplace posters. Customers can choose to have a SCATS representative contact them to answer any questions about safety and compliance with OSHA. A few minutes of an employer's time ensures the business is made aware of their safety and health requirements. Many companies are not OSHA-compliant because they fail to realize that they are subject to workplace safety and health requirements. Now that SCATS is a required step on SilverFlume, business customers will find it easier to determine the procedure for starting and managing a company because SilverFlume's operating wizard eliminates the guesswork. SCATS Chief Administrative Officer Todd Schultz sees many benefits of SCATS' involvement with SilverFlume. "SCATS will be able to reach a much broader audience than we were able to previously through mailings, and encourage more companies to be compliant with OSHA standards," said Schultz. "We believe that many more businesses will comply with requirements now that the information is presented to them when they file via SilverFlume. Fines for a business not complying with OSHA measures range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars and can be mitigated by utilizing SCATS services." Businesses spend $170 billion a year on costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses -- expenditures that come straight out of company profits. But workplaces that establish safety and health management systems can reduce their injury and illness costs by 20 to 40 percent, according to OSHA. SilverFlume's website, www.nvsilverflume.gov, gathers agencies involved in starting a business under one digital roof, sequences required tasks, and guides the customer through cross-agency steps via the one-stop shop. SilverFlume became operational in June 2012 and has processed more than $81 million in cross-agency revenue while supporting more than 335,000 business transactions.

Liverpool Message Board
Sad but true.
I cant say that the WBA result really surprised me, just like I am sure that it did not surprise a sizable number of other fans as well. I cant even say that I was angry at the outcome, just a tad disappointed. Two years ago, having West Brom do the double on us would have been enough to get all fans riled up and demanding answers as to how such an abomination occurred, now we just meekly shrug our shoulders and accept it. That is an indication as to how low our expectations have sunk and how we have come to accept second best as part of our current DNA, which in iself is sad. In another post a fellow fan accused the Anfield crowd of having somehow failed the team versus West Brom by being passive and subdued. The cause of that is simple, they had a premonition of what was going to happen, having witnessed it a few times before. Rather than condemnation, they deserve praise for not turning against a team that shows about as much fight as QPR at times.
This post is not about whether Brendan Rodgers should stay or go. It is about pointing out what by now should be glaringly obvious, that our manager is no genius. There is no doubt that he is a decent manager, a manager who has a plan and an idea as to how he would like his teams to play, but apart from that he is no tactical guru. There is no doubt that he is a fan of beautiful football and I am sure he spends a majority of his time making sure that every team he manages plays exactly how he wants them to play. Right now we are a team that plays very attractive football but has no substance, character or fighting spirit, we are like a very pretty but dumb girl, very impressive at first sight but soon turns out that beyond the good looks lurks a very shallow human being. Behind our pretty play there is really not much fight or character, once we have been figured out then, it is game over.
The fact is Brendan always has a game plan but unfortunately beyond that game plan he has nothing else, no plan B at all. Stats dont lie and stats point out that if things dont go our way from the outset, they in most cases go against us. To give examples, of the 44 goals we have scored in the Premier League, only 2 were in the last 10 minutes of the game, although we have conceded a sizable number in the last 10 minutes. We have only come from behind twice so far, drawing once and winning the other, but we have lost and drawn quite a number of games in which we have led, even a 2 goal cushion has not been enough at times. Of the games that we have gone into half time all square, we have only won ONE, drawn three and lost SEVEN. All this points to one thing, the lads are not getting any inspiration whatsoever from the gaffer when things are not going well. Compare that with how Uniturd, Reading and to a lesser extent Everton have reacted to being a goal or two behind and there is no comparison.
Fact is, Brendan is a decent manager but that is as far as he will ever be, he is good enough not to get us relegated but I doubt that he is good enough to make us a top 4 team as his team lack the vital ingredient for success, CONSISTENCY. The fact that we have not beaten any top 10 team in 14 attempts is no coincidence either, that is the reason we are 9th, too good for the bottom teams but not good enough to better the teams in the top half. I am sure that we will beat a top half team eventually but that is just going to be the exception rather than the norm.

You can save us all some time and just keep re-posting your comment Mel! Concede late goals again! Team lacks stamina, bottle, etc. And just how bad are Allen, Downing, Henderson? 50 million quid worth of 'talent'!
Some good news for Rodgers though if/when he gets the boot... he can release a book of dumbass comments. 'Almost a perfect away performance', post-WBA I think it was something like 'we could have won the game'. 'Been on a terrific run of form' (9th place, defeat to poor Oldham side). Just words but at least have something constructive to say and be honest we need some real work!

Read this after my comments above re BR´s post match opinion
"Rodgers said afterwards it was "a perfect away performance, apart from 10 minutes", and if that is how he views the standards set by Liverpool supporters he could well find himself in trouble".
Seems even the press are at it now and no more than such stupid comments deserve!
Red_Till_Im_Dead Red_Till_Im_Dead Feb 14, 2013 19:36 Flag
Armchair not knowing the correct name of one of your clubs greatest managers, is more than a "minor typo". Very poor.
Trouble with that balanced view is that as a club, we play things close lto our chests. The owners make no real comment, means we all try guessing what the vision is or how long/short term.
If the club have anything to answer to it´s supporters for, it´s the lack of comment.
A good leader takes his troops with him, keeps them in the loop, informs them of what he is trying to achieve, repeats the message regularly, kicks ass when needed and praises even when things get tough.
Don´t see much sign of that at Anfield so the guessing games will go on I reckon. Meantime, I´m trying to be patient in the absence of any short term info from the club and have to trust that we will continue to develop in the right direction.
Winning our remaining fixtures is a big ask as I see us at the moment. So, even more important to keep a level head and keep supporting. Just hope the management are trying to instill the same confidence into the players and that as confidence rises, so too will our league position.
Many thanks Miguel.
Chelsea would have a strong argument for the other route but I would ask who exactly are Chelsea? Certainly none of their managers, perhaps Mureen while he was there but no one since. John Terry would have a bigger shout!
That's simply my view and why I offer my support to Rodgers and ask for some patience from others. Rather than looking at each individual result and dive into a rant actually look at what's really going on at the club.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Feb 13, 2013 16:27 Flag
Actually Mel there is quite a bit in that I do agree with, although maybe not your final conclusion.
Yes Brendan is a good manager, and the jury is still out on whether he can be more than that. But with the jury out it's hard to predict the verdict either way, as someone who can reach no higher than the levels he's already attained, or if he can go beyond that to where we want to be and feel we should be.
I'm wondering if similar comments were made when other managers who had success at lower levels in the game, such as Shanks in the lower leagues, or SAF with success in Scotland, and whether after less than a full season in charge of much bigger clubs, they could rise beyond their past best.
For me, and I think many others a fair hearing is what should happen before passing judgment. Now how long that hearing should be maybe different for some, but I do think a single full season is the minimum, and more if progress can be measured as the project unfolds.
I'd also agree the side is very fragile at times, and does not handle adversity well. My disappointment and criticism for the match against WBA was not the loss of 3 points, not the performance for the vast majority of the match, but the apparent capitulation in the last 10 minutes or so when things went against us. And, as you say it's not the first time it's happened.
But the question is why, and what realistically a manager can do about it. For me the reason is mental, and BR does have the responsibility to ensure his team goes out with the correct frame of mind. But one good pep talk is not the solution, but a series of conversations over a long period of time to build up a team, re-enforce things when they go right, and addressing issues when they don't.
But to be perfectly frank I'm not sure what a manager can do when his team has shown the right tactical, technical, and mental attributes for 80 minutes, to correct things when they slip in the last 10 minutes of a match. I mean it's not like you can call a time out, get the lads in a huddle and try again!
So while we need to see more mental strength throughout matches from the lads, and BR has responsibility in building up that mental strength, I'd not read too much into single matches. Rather I'd look to see what happens after the manager has had a chance to show his influence. That is, how we react to adversity in the next fixture. We sprang back well after the embarrassing loss to Villa, and it's a similar reaction I'm looking for going forward.
All teams slip now and again, the best managers make sure it does not happen often (consistency), and ensure the reaction to those defeats actually strengthen rather than weaken the squad. But as I said before, for me the jury is still out on both these counts when it comes to BR.

Maybe just maybe all those who're knocking BR myself included could be wrong.. and BR turns out to be another Shankley, AF...
However the decision on whether he stays heren't ours to make.. maybe FSG see in BR a possible legend?
I am normally in disagreement with most of the negative things you have to say Mel but you make some really good points too and think your post is really well written and you make a good argument.
We are definitely soft and something needs to be done about that seeming lack of character, it is a mental problem but one easily understood when you watch the players in front of you miss chance after chance.
I believe in the footballing philosophy and he has to see if the players can adapt to and be effective in that manner, if this summer he makes the right cuts and signings then it should hopefully rectify those shortcomings, patience is painful but we have already tried and failed every other way.

I know. Lets get Sam Allerdyce. He's out of contract in the Summer and he can bring back Carroll. Oh but that will mean that we'll have to sell everyone because they can't play long ball. Nevermind we can give him 6 months to sort it out. That should be enough.
It is a good post Mel and there's some fair points but while some may think that there's an issue with "shooting down" those who don't support Rodgers the problem I see with that is that they hardly put forward a viable option or alternative.
I'll argue that at least you can see what Rodgers is trying to do and he's one of 2 managers I can think that would have the balls to overhaul Liverpool Football club for the long term future. The other is Martinez. People may say Mourinho but he's strictly interested in his 2 year spell at any given club. After that he doesn't give a monkey.
yes we're about as blunt as a strawbelly jelly without Sturridge but as Hobs says it was always going to be tough and atience is needed. People quickly forget the errors of previous regimes which have done very little for the long term development of the club.
Hi Mel
I have a lot of sympathy with your view.
That said, I think I have seen a slow improvement over the season from the team (I know it was from a very low base - our worse start in years) and I think the way in which BR wants us to play will take a longer time to take effect than, for example, a football-by-numbers approach of Big Sam or Tony P.
Even though I fear your assessment of BR might be right, I think it doesn't make any sense to pull the plug on his reign at the end of the season. The owners appointed a manager with very little experience and have backed him in the transfer market so he surely must be given another season (as Kenny should have been given).
One final thing, there is a growing mentality on the board of shooting down anyone who isn't whole-heartedly behind BR. I hope that doesn't happen to your post. You have put forward a well-reasoned argument and, if someone wants to disagree with it, I hope they do so with the same logic and respect.

psred...think Mel hit it when he said Rogers is a good enough manager to not get us relegated. Think about that ? Good enough to not get us relegated ??? What...have...we...become ? Im sitting here typing this after just watching the debacle in St Petersburg. The difference between us and them tonight was in my opinion the direction in which they passed the ball whenever they had possession .Every one of their players made every good effort to get the ball moving forward and to push up behind that forwrd movement of the ball...players consantly running forward in support of the man with the ball. Whereas we...passed it back sideways back sideways sideways back oops forward sideways back...need I go on Im sure u saw it. Rogers has no gameplan he has no Plan B ...The way we are polaying wit this tici taca and I might add being a regular
watcher of La Liga this is a VERY 3rd rate version of this style we are going NOWHERE...MID TABLE TEAM. The lads looked totally bereft out there after Hulk scored that cracker then all the spirit vanished after the seconfd goal....Rogers on the line looks the most miserable man alive...would this man and his appearance there on the line INSPIRE u ? He sure as shyte doesnt look like an inspirational character to me ...good job he wasnt in charge thzat night in Istanbul !

- Dec 2:
- Grading the 49ers in their victory over the Rams
- Dec 1:
- San Francisco 49ers defense flexes its muscles again
- Purdy: 49ers' Vernon Davis delivers big plays with flair
- 49ers notebook: Staley likely to miss games
- 49ers take care of Rams, turn attention to Seahawks
- With Crabtree back, 49ers offense loses Staley
SAN FRANCISCO -- Michael Crabtree stepped back into the lineup, and suddenly the 49ers went from high offensive anxiety to footloose improvisation.
From stalled and steamed to a wave of production and rolling laughter, just like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, for your entertainment pleasure ... the San Francisco 49ers offense (which doesn't stink anymore)!
"It's always good to have these two at your disposal on the field to make plays," Colin Kaepernick said in a relaxed postgame podium appearance with Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.
Of course, the 49ers' 23-13 victory over St. Louis on Sunday was about more than their top receiver's 2013 debut after an offseason Achilles injury and the instant camaraderie in evidence.
There was -- as always -- the 49ers' stout defense, an offensive line holding up despite a run of injuries, Vernon Davis' two amazing hurdle leaps, and very solid special teams play.
All right in time for the rematch against Seattle back here Sunday, which the 49ers must win to have any hope of winning the NFC West.
But to get to the heart of the 49ers' emotional rescue, you had to see Crabtree, Boldin and Kaepernick laughing and teasing each other Sunday.
Mostly, you had to listen.
Michael, why were you grimacing after your 60-yard reception in the third quarter down to the Rams' 20-yard line?
"I'm supposed to take that to the house!" Crabtree said, shaking his head as his buddies giggled about his double move past the corner but his slide to the ground after other defenders tracked him down.
Colin, your thoughts?
"Yeah, man," Kaepernick said after a dramatic pause, "he's supposed to score!"
This was only about 50 times more lighthearted than any 49ers public utterance in several months, and it was perhaps Kaepernick's loosest display as an NFL entity.
Then Boldin added: "We give (Crabtree) a pass on that one. Thanksgiving was this week, so ..."
More Crabtree: "You're the one serving me all the turkey!"
Now, I should point out that the 49ers offense largely broke out of its midseason slump with a decent effort last Monday night in a victory in Washington.
But Sunday was the return of Crabtree -- someone who caught 85 passes for over 1,100 yards last season -- it was at home, and it was right before the Seattle game.
So the 49ers were naturally brimming with expectations heading into this game as Crabtree jumped right back into the starting lineup alongside Boldin.
Crabtree delivered by playing 38 of the 49ers' 62 offensive snaps, catching one short pass in the first half and then that 60-yard gainer in the third quarter, which tied Crabtree's career-long gainer.
And, oh, he also was flagged for a block in the back and offensive pass interference on the 49ers' opening possession.
"Had to get those jitters out," Crabtree said, shaking his head. "Hadn't played in a long time -- I was just all over the place today.
"But like I said, I'm just happy to be out there. I had fun today."
And what was it like for Boldin -- acquired last offseason from Baltimore -- to play with Crabtree for the first time?
"You know, it's about time he gets double-teamed now," said Boldin, who proved it by catching nine passes for 98 yards Sunday.
"When you have a guy like that on the other side, it definitely relieves pressure off of you. It frees you up to just go out and play ball. Good to have him back."
Before this game, the 49ers hadn't had two wide receivers both total more than 45 yards in a single game this season.
And they've had five games when the No. 2 receiver gained fewer than 10 yards, including two when only one receiver gained any yards.
So presuming Crabtree will get only stronger as this season goes on and into the postseason, this is dramatic stuff for the 49ers offense.
"He's always been a big-time game player," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "If there is a thing, he is that.
"You anticipate that."
Crabtree said he wasn't quite at 100 percent Sunday, but he said he was "at game speed," and that he was more than ready to contribute to the playoff run.
The important thing is that Crabtree is back, and now everything is looser and louder around the 49ers, and for now -- just in time for the Seahawks -- the dark cloud is gone.

Roger rushes into round 2
Roger started his 50th straight major by defeating Germany's Tomas Kamke (ATP 78) 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 at the French Open today - equalling Jimmy Connors' record of 233 Grand Slam match victories!
"I get a great deal of pleasure playing here. When I play well, the numbers come with me. It's great to have played and won here so often. I hope it continues," Roger said.
Roger scored three out of four break points in the opening set and continued well, securing the important points. He was always in charge, but nevertheless accumuluated over 40 unforced errors and missed several rather certain opportunities. He never got into danger, though, and wrapped up the match after 117 minutes on a sixth match point.
Roger will next face Adrian Ungur (ATP 92) of Romania who eliminated David Nalbandian in four sets.
You will win this tournament
Wish you all the best
There is no doubt you have great fashion sense. However, to be more comfortable while playing in the heat, I think you should opt for white t-shirt, white short, white socks(length just above ankle), white shoes and white bandana with Swiss flag symbol. I think the short length socks would give you more free movement in your play.
Best of luck for tomorrow's match.
