Japantown (日本町 Nihonmachi?) (also known as J Town or historically as Japanese Town, "Nihonmachi") is a neighborhood in the Western Addition district of San Francisco, California. It comprises about six square city blocks. San Francisco's Japantown is the largest and oldest such enclave in the United States.[4]
The main thoroughfare is Post Street, between Fillmore Street (to the west) and Laguna Street (to the east). The Japantown neighborhood is generally considered to be bordered on the north by Bush or Pine Street, and on the south by Geary Boulevard.
Its focal point is the Japan Center, which opened in 1968,[5] and is the site of three Japanese-oriented shopping centers. The Peace Pagoda, also at the Japan Center, is a five-tiered concrete stupa designed by Japanese architect Yoshiro Taniguchi and presented to San Francisco by the people of Osaka, Japan.
Built and settled as part of the Western Addition neighborhood in the 19th and early 20th century, Japanese immigrants began moving into the area following the 1906 earthquake.[6] (Before 1906, San Francisco had two Japantowns, one on the outskirts of Chinatown, the other in the South of Market area. After 1906, San Francisco's main Japantown was in the Western Addition, with a smaller one in the South Park area.[7]) By World War II, the neighborhood was one of the largest such enclaves of Japanese outside Japan, as it took an appearance similar to the Ginza district in Tokyo.[6]
In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which forced all Japanese of birth or descent, including Japanese American citizens of the United States, to be relocated from the Pacific coast and interned. By 1943 many large sections of the neighborhood remained vacant due to the forced internment. The void was quickly filled by thousands of African Americans who had left the South to find wartime industrial jobs in California as part of the Great Migration.
Following the war, some Japanese Americans returned, followed by new Japanese immigrants as well as investment from the Japanese Government and Japanese companies. However, many did not return to the neighborhood and instead settled in other parts of the city, or out to the suburbs altogether. This was further exacerbated by the city's efforts to rejuvenate the neighborhood initiated by Justin Herman in the Western Addition in the 1960s through the 1980s.[8]
In 1957, San Francisco entered in a sister city relationship with the city of Osaka, hence the nickname "Little Osaka". Osaka is San Francisco's oldest sister city.[9] In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of this relationship, one block of Buchanan Street, in Japantown, was renamed Osaka Way on September 8, 2007.[10]
Government and infrastructure[edit]
The San Francisco Police Department Northern Station serves Japantown.[11]
The area is within the San Francisco Unified School District. Rosa Parks Elementary School is located near Japantown. It houses the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program (JBBP).[12] In the winter of 2005 Rosa Parks had 233 students, which filled less than half of the school. That winter, SFUSD proposed closing the school and merge it with another elementary school. Parents protested in favor of keeping the school open. SFUSD moved the Japanese Bilingual Bicultural Program into Rosa Parks. As of November 2006, almost half of the students in the regular Rosa Parks program are African-American and one-third of the students in the JBBP program are Japanese.[13]
Attractions and characteristics[edit]
The area is home to Japanese cuisine (and some Korean and Chinese) restaurants, supermarkets, indoor shopping malls, hotels, banks and other shops, including one of the few U.S. branches of the large Kinokuniya bookstore chain. Most of these businesses are located in the commercial Japan Center of the neighborhood, in a large shopping mall built in the 1960s as part of urban renewal efforts and is run by Japanese retailer Kintetsu.
San Francisco's Japantown celebrates two major festivals every year: The Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival (held for two weekends every April),[14] and the Nihonmachi Street Fair, held one weekend in the month of August.[15]
The Cherry Blossom Festival takes place over the course of two weekends. During the first weekend, the Northern California Cherry Blossom Queen Program takes place at the Kabuki Theatre, where women of Japanese/Japanese-American descent are chosen to represent, learn about, and serve their community.[16] During the Sunday parade, the queen and princesses are presented on a float.

The New Yorker
Buy TicketsThe ever enduring Don Giovanni returns to the Metropolitan Opera, with three great singers, Simon Keenlyside, Ildar Abdrazakov and Mariusz Kwiecien, sharing the title role. Placido Domingo and Fabio Luisi take on conducting duties.
Mozart's libertine philanderer is cast in a decidedly darker light in this staging, whose story of unavenged justice incorporates tragedy and black comedy, as well as the supernatural elements which ultimately downfall. Giovanni is no misunderstood hero in this production, which was created by acclaimed British director and producer Michael Grandage.
This opera is remarkably timely given its setting in feudal Europe prior to the French Revolution, where crime committed by the rich and powerful go unpunished. Don Giovanni, a notorious lech and rapist, attempts to carry off the virginal Donna Anna against her will, and kills her elderly father in cold blood after he is caught. However, Giovanni escapes with his identity hidden by a mask, and Donna Anna is filled with a lust for vengeance against the masked attacker, and even spurns the advances of the kind Ottavio who truly cares for her.
Giovanni carries on as usual, even trying to seduce and attack a bride on her wedding night, and beating up her new husband. Things come to a head however, when Anna recognises the voice of her attacker as that of Giovanni, and begs Ottavio to avenge her. Proud, arrogant and cruel to the last, Giovanni is confronted by the spectre of Anna's father who asks him to repent; he refuses and is consumed by flames and sent to hell. The entire party gathers and ruminates on Giovanni's now-cursed fate.

Ticket #7039 (closed defect: obsolete)
usb device gets stuck in 'captured' state, not connected to either host or guest
Reported by: | vladimir@… | Owned by: | |
Priority: | major | Component: | USB |
Version: | VirtualBox 3.2.4 | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Guest type: | Linux | |
Host type: | Windows |
Description (last modified by aeichner) (diff)
This is with VirtualBox 3.2.4 under Windows 7 64-bit, with an Ubuntu 10.04 guest.
I'm doing some Android development, so am frequently plugging in various phones and wanting to connect them to the VM. Frequently when I plug a device in, it connects to the host and shows up as "Busy" in the USB devices list. If I select it, it transitions to "Captured", but isn't actually visible to the guest; it's also been detached from the host at that point.
When things get in that state, that device is basically "stuck" until I completely shut down the VM/VBox and restart -- even if I unplug the device, it remains displayed in the USB devices list as "Captured". Any attempts to select it again give a dialog box ("busy with a previous request") showing an E_INVALIDARG error from the IHostUSBDevice interface. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern for when this happens, but it happens frequently enough -- around 50% of the time when plugging a device in. It's also not specific to any particular device, though I've only tried various phones and other similar devices.
I've attached VBox.log, though there doesn't seem to be much interesting -- the messages at the end, e.g.:
01:04:29.330 VUSB: attached '00000000037151f0[proxy 0955:7820]' to port 2 01:09:04.888 VUSB: attached '00000000037151f0[proxy 0955:7100]' to port 2 01:28:45.744 VUSB: attached '00000000037151f0[proxy 0955:7100]' to port 2
Are successful attachment of a different device (same device, in normal and in firmware flash mode). The failing device is 22B8:41DB and isn't mentioned in the log.

Representation was great. I had an FSM t-shirt on and got comments everywhere I went. I was actually quite impressed how many Pastafarians there were there. I traded one of my FSM shirts for a girls Little Miss Bossy tank top. What the heck - it fit. Didn't look as good on me but she did want the FSM shirt.

Jason was a pimply-faced kid who lived with his grandmother, and everyone always told me to stay away from him. We were young, innocent, and had ideas for the future grander than anyone around us could imagine.
Before Jason, I dreaded Sundays, but after we met, the epic day of rest became my favorite day of the week.
Mom and Dad tried to find excuses for me not to sit with him at church, tried to tell me I should be with them, with family. Jason and I moved pews. We sat in the back, or behind them. So long as they couldn't see us, we didn't care.
As time wore on, Jason's hand held mine with more confidence, less sweat, more thumb grazing over my knuckles. He'd lean into my ear and whisper a whole lot of nothing, making me giggle at all the wrong times. He'd tuck my long, brown, stringy hair behind my ear and tell me I was beautiful, and that I shined like the stars.
My heart learned gymnastics when we were together.
But at some point something changed; Jason missed church two weeks in a row. His grandmother was there, but he was not.
Had I done something wrong? Did I make him not want to see me ever again? Did he find someone else?
After church I rushed up to his grandmother; she was clad in her Sunday finest and wore her dark gray hair in a loosely tied bun. I took her wrinkled hand into mine; she was cold, her skin thin from age, but she was firm in her grip. "Please, tell me where he is."
"I can't, dear. But I can give you this." Jason's grandmother reached into her faux leather handbag, pulled out a crinkled piece of lined paper then handed it to me.
"What's this?" I asked, heart pounding, chest constricting.
"I didn't read it. Jason asked me to give it to you," she said, then turned and walked away.
Tears welled in my eyes. My fingers trembled as I unfolded the piece of paper holding the future of my heart's status. He was going to break up with me. That's why he gave the letter to his grandma, because he couldn't face me himself. I just knew it. Why would anyone like me? My family was poor. We didn't have anything. I wasn't special.
I held my breath, unfolding the last bit of our relationship.
I'm sorry. I miss you. Call me.
Underneath his scrawled words he'd written his phone number and drawn a big heart.
I couldn't wait to get home.
"Is everything okay?" Mom asked.
I didn't realize she was standing next to me. Looking up into her eyes, I knew she knew something. "Yes. Can we go home now?"
I held the paper in the palm of my hand all day. He'd touched it. He'd written it. He'd wanted me to have it. When it was late, when I was sure my parents wouldn't care what I was doing, I grabbed the cordless phone, a pillow, and a blanket and went outside. I spread the blanket on the deck just outside the back door, laid down on my stomach and propped the pillow under my elbows. Unfolding the paper, I read the numbers then punched them into the phone.
Ring, ring, ring.
"Hello?" His voice, it was warm—albeit, maybe a little high-pitched—and it was him.
I turned over, resting my head on the pillow so I could stare at the bright starry sky. "Hi."
"Krystal . . . ." Jason whispered. "I'm sorry."
I really didn't want to hear he was sorry. I wanted to know why I hadn't seen him. "Where have you been?"
"I'm moving."
I gasped. "What? Where?"
"To Louisiana."
There was a long, awkward pause. I took the time to compose myself, to carefully choose my next words, to wipe tears from my eyes. "Why?"
"Grandma can't afford to keep me here. I'm moving with my uncle, tomorrow. They wouldn't let me come to church because I had to pack, and because they were afraid we would do something stupid if I told you." He sighed.
I sobbed.
"Krystal, don't cry. Listen, go outside."
"I'm already outside," I said, sniffling.
"Me too. Look up at the stars."
The black Texas sky was dotted with millions of twinkling stars. The Milky Way was white and cloudy, stretching across the dark blanket of space with all its glory.
"Are you looking up?"
"You see that little constellation right in the middle of the sky? It looks like a baseball diamond, a very tiny baseball diamond."
I scanned the stars, desperate to look at the same thing as him. When I discovered the little diamond in the sky, I sucked in a sharp breath. "I see it."
"Good. Every time you think of me, every time you miss me, look up and know I'll be thinking of you, too. I'll miss you, too. That will be our constellation." He paused.
"Won't we talk?" I asked, forgetting about the stars.
"Long distance . . . ."
And that was it, the end of my first honest relationship. The end of our hopes and dreams together. Occasionally I'd look at the baseball constellation and think of him, but it hurt. The first person ever really interested in me, torn away. We spent the rest of the night talking about the stars, talking about what we would do when we saw each other again, but that day never came. I was twelve; I doubt we were in it for the long haul anyway.

First Love
18 comments:
This is a really beautiful story and written amazingly well as always. It takes me back to my first crush when I was 8 and it shaped my life in an unexpected way, sending my life into a tailspin that I've yet to recover from and that was thirty four years ago.
My mother would drag me along on grocery shopping trips and I hated it. I hated how she enjoyed introducing me as her "baby". I would blush and roll my eyes. "Mawwm, Jeeze!"
On one particular trip, rounding a corner, somewhere between the marshmallow crème and the chopped walnuts, there she was. So beautiful, long auburn hair, her legs were nearly as tall as I and her eyes; her eyes held secrets that only she would ever know. Nineteen year old Mary peeked around her mother, Irene, and gave me a wink. My face became warm. I slid behind my mother and smoothed my hair. Of all days to wear my grungy, baggy sweats, I thought and though I enjoyed seeing her, I just wanted to get away.
She left this world just 9 short years after and her departure cut me deeply. It's one of those wounds that never fully heals and will never ever go away. When I look to the stars I hope to find her, my first love, there too. ;)
Great post Krystal! Thanks for sharing!

Shoo Fly & More
Last Friday the shoo fly I ordered from Primcats House arrived. This gave me an excuse to rearrange the stove board. The snowman is gone & now there is a duck & bunny on each side of the new shoo fly. Thanks Carmen.
The shoo fly gives the stove board a fresh new look.
The old barn sink continues to stay on the table but has some sheep added to the display.
I really liked the black basket but I just thought it was to much black. I painted the basket a cream color to match the crocks on top of the fireplace but I did not like it so on went another coat of paint.
The basket endedup being painted brown.
Ollie has had another suitor come calling. This is the third fellow to pay visits. They all three continue to visit daily. I would have thought by now they would have all given up on her. Ollie is safely tucked away from them all. I am wondering if they will just decide to make the homestead their home.
Sam & I have been enjoying hot cups of mint & chocolate hot cocoa & apple crisp on these cold nights.
As the garden sleeps it was covered in a blanket of soft white powder. All the tulip bulbs wait for spring to arrive so they can burtst thru the soil & open into beautiful red blooms. I am in a hurry to see the wonder of their beauty.
Blessings Til Next Time!

Community meetings for Southwest LRT project set for this week
- Blog Post by: Tim Harlow
- January 7, 2014 - 10:06 AM
The Metropolitan Council will hold two meetings this week to present information about three studies currently underway concerning Southwest Light Rail Transit project.
Staff will talk about the scope of the studies analyzing alternatives for relocating freight rail lines, how construction will impact Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles, and landscaping and greenscaping in the Kenilworth area of Minneapolis.
Meetings will take place from to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Kenwood Community Center, 2101 Franklin Av. W. in Minneapolis. There also is one from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the St. Louis Park Recreation Center, 3700 Monterey Drive.
The meetings are meant to be educational, the Met Council said, with the primary purpose to allow interested stakeholders an opportunity to learn about the studies and talk with elected officials. Final drafts of the studies will be released later in January and more public feedback will be accepted then, the Met Council said.
The Southwest Light Rail line will run from downtown Minneapolis through St. Louis Park and to the southwestern suburbs of Minnetonka and Eden Prairie. The proposed 15.8-mile line will have 17 stations and stop at places such as the Opus/Golden Triangle employment area, Methodist Hospital, Eden Prairie Center and near the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. The line is estimated to cost $1.55 billion.
The line has had its share of controversy. A big sticking point is where to relocate freight rail lines in southwest Minneapolis and St. Louis Park, and whether nearly a mile of tunnels in the corridor should be built.
In October, Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday called for greater "citizen participation" in shaping the line, which stands to be the biggest transit project in the Twin Cities.

We're too stacked on the wings for him, so it's not surprising that he latched on to a much better team since he'd obviously be stuck behind our brilliant wing play!
Barbosa will torch us this year. |

Yeah, forgot about him... he adds a bit of size and defense too. We could have used him more than a Barbosa type, but Boston needed scoring help.
Barbosa and Terry are going to help Boston avoid some of those ugly, ugly scoring droughts that they've been prone to, and let's face it, Allen was a shadow of his former self. Maybe Ray isn't done yet, and maybe he gets healthy in Miami, but what he was giving the last two years in Boston's playoff run wasn't anywhere close to what he had previously. |

Weird signing tbh. I kind of wanted him on the Lakers because he can score, but he's not really a PG and I think that's what the Lakers need off the bench to give Nash a rest.
Rondo and Terry are obviously better than Barbosa, but so are Bradley and Lee IMO. That's why I don't understand this signing. And yeah, these dudes are undersized but it won't matter. Boston is the second best team in the East and their biggest threat is obviously Miami. Wade is only 6' 4". Bradley can D him up even though he's smaller so that's not a problem. Terry being undersized wasn't a problem in 2011 Finals. Lee is 6' 5" and a solid defender. And like Stonezz said, I can't think of anything good for Barbosa lol. Anyways, I don't think Boston can beat Miami so it doesn't really matter anyway. |

Sick to see 9ers win...
All red percentages for the Panthers, Buccaneers, and Falcons can't be good... :bng:
We're in it and I'm very happy. We had a great failure against the Rams and this team has answered with 2 great wins for the season. The Rams game is forgotten.
7 and 3 is pretty damn good! |
Buck up..just glad we won...thats all that matters...we have to take care of business on our end..
Looks like San Fran is a lock for #2 barring significant injury even if we win out. The only games I see them possibly losing is to Pit and Baltimore, and they are AFC. The rest of their schedule is cake. Hopefully by the time we meet in the playoffs they will be used to playing the crappy teams in their division and not be ready for the Saints. Their defense scares me though.
Count no chickens. Still a long way to go.
Yeah that sucked. I will hold out hope for the #2 seed but the 49ers have one of the easiest remaining schedules since they play NFC West oponents. Still I think #3 would be okay since I'm not sold the 49ers are "that good" and I'd rather play the 49ers then the Packers unless we have to.
3rd seed is not really any good, we won't get a bye with that. We only get a home playoff game aginst one of the wildcards. We gotta hope the
49ers stumble a few times down the stretch. |

News out of the Bonn climate talks sounds familiar –
"Beijing lashes Canberra as carbon talks stall"
then from the Guardian –
"Bonn climate talks end in discord and disappointment"
and USAToday asks –
"Is China poor? Key question at climate talks"
Amidst all the posturing rhetoric it might be useful to see some facts charted.
First the magnitude of Chinese carbon dioxide emissions compared to Australia
Australia could decarbonize back to the stoneage and the effect on Global emissions would not be measurable.
A chart of Chinese emissions compared to major global groupings.
A chart of Australian export income from coal –
larger version from source.
7 thoughts on "China accuses Australia as Bonn climate talks founder"
The graphs are very telling. Also, if more aluminium, cement works & steel works close down in Australia some of our energy intensity will be moved to other countries such as Indonesia.
However, readers of this blog should be aware that what the Chinese say is not always clear and what they actually are saying.
In my experience if an inscrutable oriental says yes in reply to a question it could mean a) "yes" I hear you b) "yes" I do not understand c) "yes" I understand your view d) "yes" I will pass on your comment to "higher" authority e) "yes" I will reply some time f) "yes" I disagree but am too polite to say "no" and maybe some more. Everything. must be put into context. It takes many years to develop a good relationship (7 years is an oft quote time) and many decisions are made by mutual agreement and trust.
Has one thought that the Chinese leader is saying "We all know the the climate talk is about politics. When you come clean and admit that CO2 emission can not affect climate then we can better go about encouraging developing countries to raise their standard of living>"? -
I am sure you know that the Chinese have done their own studies on historical climate, and come to the obvious conclusion that things were better in China when the world was warmer. So they are not afraid of minor warming. As for the "IPCC's positive feedback leading to runaway temperature rise" I think any intelligent 12 year old can see through that; and they have a lot of intelligent 12 year olds.They would also like to pay back western countries for their domination of China for 150 years, without being too obvious about it and not attracting international odium.
The Kyoto scheme is tailor made for this. Firstly, the countries most in favour of extending it are all those (except Japan and Russia) who oppressed them in the last 2 centuries. Delaying the scheme will be revenge.
Secondly, by holding out for large sums of money for "under-developed" countries, they can pose as friends of those african (and other) countries with undeveloped resources.
Thirdly, they know the scheme won't ever get off the ground anyway. The USA, Russia, Japan, India and Canada aren't going to agree. Besides all those countries in Europe who are so keen on the scheme can't afford the money to get it off the ground.They can continue to boost their economy with cheap power while waiting for the cooling down of the climate to become so obvious that the whole idea is abandoned. (I note talk on WUWT about sea levels and whether recent rises are just the result of "adjustments").
Kyoto to a large extent subsidized the transfer of steel and cement industries from the developed world to China. A piece of economic madness that we will seriously regret if any kind of conflict with China eventuates.
China made very large amounts of money from the Kyoto protocol. From memory, about 60% of the internationally traded carbon credits, the money went to China and hardly any involved reducing CO2 emissions.
Rather the money went to developing energy intensive industries.
Kyoto was an abject failure, and entirely predictably so.
I remember writing at the time Kyoto was implemented.
"The Kyoto protocol isn't a real solution, but don't worry, because Global Warming isn't a real problem."
The graphs indeed show that emissions-producing industries must have been displaced to China and India, especially in the run-up to the Kyoto compliance period 2008-12.
No wonder those two countries refuse to accept limits. They would not have their present level of emissions in the first place if developed countries hadn't pushed their own industries out with carbon taxes, overpriced energy, and other green schemes.The two countries alone now emit more than the entire Western world – North America, Western Europe, and Australasia combined – you could even throw in Japan and Korea as well. Moreover on current trends their emissions will double by 2020, whereas the West's will not increase at all. Emissions limits in the Western world are a sideshow, almost an irrelevance – in fact, they may actually be raising global emissions by delocalising production and so increasing the volume of air and sea freight.
Meanwhile the endless farce of "global climate negotiations" drags on. As if the climate could be negotiated in the first place! Yet we are conned into thinking so by an "iron triangle" of vested interests. The scientists come along to say there "could" be catastrophe (but they'll need more funding to be sure), the politicians try to "address" the "problem" (by new taxes they get to spend), and the NGOs squeal that current action is totally inadequate (because if the problem goes away, so do their funders). Any scientists, politicians or NGOs who tell the truth – namely, that the problem is hypothetical – are rigorously excluded from this "debate".
A modern container vessel has 109 MW (146.171 hp) installed to operate it.
Denmark has more than 6000 wind turbines, equal to an year round hourly effect of 791 MW (in 2008, ref. Danish Energy Agency).6 to 8 container vessels consume energy equal to the entire energy generated by the wind power industry in Denmark – The Danish shipping company Maersk-Line operates more than 550 container vessels of this kind.
So sending those 'dirty industries' to the East, and having those ships act as a conveyor belt to bring the goods back from the East, results in 50-60 times more CO2 than those wind turbines "save".
Denmark's total generation is roughly 37,000 GWh p.a. (4224 MW per hour to be the same units as above). The reductions in CO2 can be estimated at around 700MW, which is assumed to be due to wind and not the increase in the highly efficient gas fired CHP units that has occurred. That means that those Maersk vessels have to operate 4.5 days per year each to wipe out the "savings".
I see the IEA is saying Chinese emissions are up 9.3% for 2011 – means that on your graphics the China trand would extend to just on the 9000 mark for 2011. Global emissions hit a record again. No sign of any cutting back by China.
I also see Craig Emerson the Minister for ?? reporting from China –
China won't let growth slow: Emerson

Hello folks, this is my first shot at using this forum mainly because I was raised in the tradition of if ya havnt anything of value to say keep your mouth shut.. Yeh I know dysfunctional family… sorry… anyway back to my topic I'm considering getting a power carver and so far the reviews I've come across are sketchy. I would really like to hear from some users out there.. My application is sculpture perhaps the size of a camera bag or so… I dont know if incorporating a reciprocating with a rotary is worth the bucks (actually I'm not sure if the bugs are worked out of the technology yet)... so any response would be welcomed… -- johnb |

I just purchased a Merlin power carver. Only have had time to test it a little so far. LOVE IT! That will save a lot of time removing large areas of material. Will have to see how it holds up. I've been wearing out dremels and roto-zips with the flex cords. I hope to upgrade to a forsner soon. The former would work for many, but I put lots of hours on them and they wear out. I don't always use high speed either. They just arn't made for long term use, in my opinion. Like most tools, decide how much you will be using and depending on it. Hard choices these days. -- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it. |
#5 posted 12-07-2011 10:30 PM |
I've done a moderate amount of power carving using a Dremmel, and it worked fine, but my projects are typically closer to fist size. For what you are doing, a rotary tool that can handle bits or burs with 1/4" shanks would be much more efficient. If dust is a problem in your workshop, then the recip. type tool may be a better choice. You might also want to check the Wood Carving Illustrated magazine's forum. there are a lot more carvers there. |

I have the Wecheer myself and use it for a lot of stuff – buffing, wirebrushing, small grinding, cut offs….including some carving now and then. I also have the recipricating handle….and it is really nice when you want to remove larger pieces of wood….they are not good for detail work. Wood Carver's supply has their own brand (see it here)) it is 1/2 hp instead of the 1/3 or 1/6 that are normally used. I have heard good things about it…including the handpiece. I will probably look at one should my wecheer die unexpectedly (so far it is a champ….and I have used it alot!). -- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven! |

My son is a carver and I just bought him a gift of an Automach recepocating carver and it seems to be working very well for him. I tried it but not being a carver it really went through the wood. The Automach is a little pricey but I wanted to get the best. -- Tom D |

I have the "Mastercarver" brand of a Fordom like tool. I like it. I started out carving and have now gone to wood working so I do little carving these days. I have the reciprocating hand piece with mine and use it to carve with now. My 20 or so hand gouges, from 20 years ago, sit in the drawer now-a-days. Relief carving is what I have done so I am not sure how good this set up would be for sculpting in wood. There are separate reciprocating tools available too but I like the thin hand piece of this Mastercarver. I also have a hand piece that will take 1/4" burrs or grinders. All the hand pieces and burrs are interchangeable with Fordom and Wecheer I think. -- "You may have your PHD but I have my GED and my DD 214" |

Thanks for the responses, I've been crusing the power carver sites and even bought a few carbide burrs. I guess I'll see what turns out when I finally get all the loose ends pulled together. From what I've seen so far it appears that wecheer has (a least) the best marketing program but I also looked at the mastercarver…again time will tell… xmas is taking its toll on my wallet.

He hunches his lean, 6ft 6in frame forward, munching on a burger with both hands, and laughs as he takes some hits from these first-teamers about his wealth and his dream of making it in major league baseball. 'Hey,' Jordan says, 'I don't need your food, but just give me the key to that door marked Paradise.'
His would-be interviewer waits until Jordan has drained the last drop of his soda before making an approach. Many of baseball's so-called stars, faced with a request to talk in similar circumstances, would respond with a monosyllabic brush-off. But that is not how Jordan became the ultimate sports idol of his time, bigger than Pele, bigger than Nicklaus, bigger even than Ali in his ability to transcend race, age, gender, class and geographical boundaries.
The ghetto talk is switched off in an instant, and Jordan becomes the accommodating interviewee - charming, serious, straightforward. He talks about what motivated him to try baseball - 'My final challenge in sports' - about the pressures of life in the corporate cage, and about the tough times ahead in the backwaters of the minor leagues.
They will be tough. In a few weeks time, when the Birmingham Barons - Chicago's AA team, to which he has been assigned - hit the road for their first long-distance away game, Michael Jordan will discover just how much he loves baseball.
In recent years, even when his occasional gambling excursions found him consorting with low-life figures, Jordan's world has been bordered by the limousine, the private jet and the air-conditioned room. Not any more. 'The bus rides are the worst,' said Scott Ruffcorn, 24, a White Sox pitcher who played for Birmingham last year. 'Every once in a while you sleep wrong because you're used to a bed. You're twisting and turning and you get a little kink in the shoulder or the neck or the lower back. Then you just have to play through the pain.'
There is no place for sentiment in the minor leagues. They are the game's rite of passage, a test of a player's desire and mental strength, of his ability to withstand 10-hour bus rides and games played at night, a few hours' sleep in a cheap hotel and another 10 hours in a cramped seat riding the backroads of the South between places like Nashville, Jacksonville and Chattanooga. Here the balls are dirty and the uniforms don't fit and you wear the same pair of baseball pants for weeks on end.
This is Bull Durham territory. That film tells the story of an ageing athlete's final attempt to get to 'The Show'. But unlike Jordan, Kevin Costner's hero had not led his team to three consecutive NBA championships, nor had he been a three-time MVP or won seven NBA scoring titles. He did not earn more than dollars 30m a year by endorsing sneakers, cereals, soft drinks, sports goods and underwear. He still had something to prove.
Except that, the way Jordan tells it, at the age of 31 he has something to prove, both to himself and to his late father James, whose body was found in a South Carolina creek on 3 August last year with a gunshot wound in his chest. Whatever the nature of the debt to his father - there were unconfirmed reports that James's murder might be linked to Michael's gambling problems - he has finally acted on his father's long-held wish that he play baseball.
'When he died,' Jordan says, 'it made me say, 'Hey, let's do it. Life is short, you never know when your last breath is gonna come.' I know he's watching and that he's proud I made this move. That's the motivation I carry day in and day out.'
So he began to swing the bat at Comiskey Park in Chicago over the winter, and for the second year running the White Sox's spring training camp became a circus. Twelve months ago the focus was on Bo and his hip; now it was on Michael and his dream. Hundreds of journalists swarmed around his first public work-out. Every television station ended its nightly spring training round-up with a Michael spot.
Such overkill did not endear him to the purists and older players on other teams, who felt he had not earned the right to play, but had simply used his influence with Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of both the White Sox and the Chicago Bulls basketball team. Sports Illustrated mocked his 3 for 20 record with the bat, dubbing him 'Err Jordan'. Randy Johnson, a fastball pitcher with the Seattle Mariners, said: 'He had better tie his Air Jordans real tight if I pitch to him. I'd like to see how much air time he'd get on one of my inside pitches.'
The habitually smiling, amiable Jordan only showed anything approaching anger when he considered these criticisms. 'I never suggested I was going to be a superstar in baseball,' he said. 'I just wanted to learn what the basics are, what the minimum was in terms of being a player, then work my way up.
'It's unfair that my basketball achievements should be carried over into baseball. There's a different success rate: 3 for 10 from the free-throw line in basketball is terrible; 3 for 10 in the batter's box is superstar stuff.'
Jordan has learned that athleticism can only take you so far in baseball. As Philadelphia's John Kruk, the epitome of the sport's roly-poly breed, memorably put it when asked by a woman how an athlete like him could smoke: 'Lady, I'm no athlete, I'm a baseball player.'
He has also learned that when God made Michael Jordan, He made him specially for basketball. Those long elastic arms and gangling legs are perfect for negotiating traffic to make impossible dunks and sky hooks. But put a baseball bat in his hand and those same arms cannot generate much speed, the thin trunk cannot drive a ball 375 feet over the left-field wall, and the distance between his shoulders and knees presents opposing pitchers with a huge strike zone.
And he has learned that nothing can compensate for those missed college and minor league years, years of mind-numbing repetitions and development of muscle memory, of studying pitchers and their ways. He has learned that you ain't got nothing if you ain't got that swing.
Even the White Sox general manager, Ron Schueler, concedes it is still a million-to-one shot. 'I can't believe why he's putting himself through this,' Schueler says, 'because no way can he succeed. He was the world's best basketball player; he'll never be the world's best baseball player. It's just not going to happen.'
Jordan says he is not afraid to fail. 'To succeed you have to fail somewhere along the road. That's just a given. But it's how you turn those failures into a positive. If I fail, I can say I was given this opportunity, I followed this dream that I had. Now my life goes on without that thing in the back of my mind, 'You should have tried, you shouldn't have tried'.'
Yet the greatest frustration for Jordan is knowing that he can never be just another baseball player, taking his cuts and his chances at the plate.
Keith Peters, spokesman for Nike, suggests that Jordan is acting out a Walter Mitty fantasy. But it was not Walter Mitty that the crowds flocked to see on the minor league backfields in Sarasota last week, and they will flock to see again in Birmingham, Orlando and Greenville this summer. They came, and they will come, to see a god. The god who failed.

City Guides >
A trip to Sydney is a trip to high style and luxury as reported by Claire Devine, a journalist working for the Flintshire Chronicle. Complete with a tour of the Harbour Bridge, a decadent meal at the well-known Kables restaurant and a stunning view of the beautiful city, Devine proves that Sydney is a perfect spot for a vacation, despite the chill.
CLAIRE DEVINE enjoys the best food, drink and activities of one of Australias most popular cities
WE arrived in to a drizzly Sydney after a whirlwind 48 hours in hot, sticky Singapore.
Although the relief from the heat was pleasant and it was winter in Australia this was not what I signed up for there was plenty of rain and cloud back home in the UK.
Jetlagged and hungry we found our way into the city via train and headed for our first hotel, The Four Seasons on George Street.
Having not slept on the overnight eight-hour flight from Singapore I was flagging and desperate for a shower and lie down as we headed to our harbour view room on the 22nd floor.

Mentally distressed, unemployed man takes his youngster on suicide jump
A jobless man suffering mental problems grabbed his six-year-old son and jumped from a high floor of a public housing block in Ap Lei Chau yesterday, killing both of them.
The 37-year-old was divorced and had been living off unemployment benefits. He and his son had been sharing a flat in nearby Lei Tung Estate with his parents.
The Social Welfare Department acknowledged yesterday that there had been a rise in such domestic tragedies over the past six months, and promised to take action.
Chief Inspector Ng Yeung-yin, of Western District police force, said: 'The parents told us that [the father and son] went to buy some bread at about 7am and then returned home for breakfast. The pair left home again after that.'
They were found outside Lei Chak House, Ap Lei Chau Estate, at 8.45am. The impact of their fall destroyed a metal railing.
Their belongings - flip-flops, coins and bank cards - were scattered around the scene.
The man was certified dead at the scene while the boy was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital, where he was certified dead at 9am.
Detectives from the Western District crime squad are treating the case as a murder-suicide. Postmortem examinations will be conducted today.
Chief Inspector Ng said the man had mental problems.
The Social Welfare Department said yesterday they would contact the victims' relatives to offer assistance, such as help with funeral arrangements. It also urged people in difficulties not to take drastic actions and to seek help instead.
'We're seeking more information from the police about the case and have also dispatched staff to the area to see what we can do,' said Social Welfare Director Paul Tang Kwok-wai.
'But I would also like to appeal to families that if they run into problems they should seek help from people like friends, neighbours, social workers or others and not do something harmful.'
Mr Tang said he was aware that there had been a number of such tragedies in the past six months, and the department would enhance its services accordingly.
'We're facing these problems and we'll not turn our back on them,' he said.
'There are two aspects [to counter the problems], such as deploying more staff and strengthening our services. On the other hand, people facing problems should think carefully about what they should do, and seek help.'
Yesterday's incident was the third high-profile domestic tragedy since April.
Last month, a man stabbed his wife to death in Tuen Mun after they had a quarrel, before jumping 24 floors to his death from his public rental flat in Leung Kit Estate.
In April, a man in Tin Shui Wai murdered his mainland wife and two daughters before dying from his self-inflicted wounds, after spending 12 days in a coma.

The Top Gear car review:Hyundai i40
An accomplished all-rounder with a broad spread of talentsAgainst:
It's not particularly sporty. Does that matter? NoOverview
What is it?
The i40 is a measure of how serious a player Hyundai is these days. Sister company Kia took a US-sourced Optima and twisted it to a European-friendly spec. Hyundai, though, went one better, by designing a car solely for us, in the country where all the leading premium saloons come from – Germany. The i40 saloon and Tourer estate are thus the result of some concerted thinking and aim to take on the Ford Mondeo at its own game – and win.
This is a genuinely competitive Hyundai, and the firm's being duly combative with it. A bulging range of trims and engines are all bang on the money, literally and figuratively: the spec is right and CO2 is right, as Hyundai judges exactly what the market wants, and delivers it.

"Kansas is an outstanding football team, and when you play an outstanding football team you better take advantage of your opportunities and we didn't do that," said Tech head coach Derek Dooley. "We had opportunities early and we didn't do it. When you don't do it against a good team its going to be a long night and that's what happened."
With Tech trailing 3-0 in the first quarter, the Bulldogs mounted one of the most impressive drives in recent LA Tech history ... but came away empty. Behind the arm and legs of Bennett, Tech went on a 22-play drive that took 9 minutes and 22 seconds off the clock as the Bulldogs drove from their own 12-yard line down to the Jayhawk six.
However, Bennett's second down pass was tipped into the air by tight end Anthony Harrison and intercepted by Chris Harris in the endzone for a touchback. On the drive, Tech was a perfect 6-for-6 on third down conversions.
"Anytime you get down their tight and don't get points it's devastating," Dooley said. "We had a couple of chances. We got down there trailing 3-0 and dropped the ball, they knocked it out and got the interception. That was disappointing."
Midway through the third quarter with KU leading 20-0, Phillip Livas took a handoff on a reverse and raced 78 yards down to the Jayhawk two yard line where he was caught from behind by KU's Darrell Stuckey.
Three offensive plays by Tech resulted in negative four yards before Brad Oestriecher missed a 23-yard field goal as KU came away unscathed.
KU then added a 26-yard field goal to make the score 23-0.
The Bulldogs then had another opportunity to score on its next possession but Bennett overthrew a wide open Anthony Harrison, who had gotten behind the KU secondary around midfield.
After a Tech punt, KU added a 39-yard touchdown pass in the final five minutes of the third quarter to take a commanding 29-0 lead and put the game away.
Kansas opened the game with an impressive drive as quarterback Todd Reesing orchestrated an 11-play, 74 yard drive that culminated with a 28-yard field goal by Jacob Branstetter. Reesing was 5-of-7 for 65 yards during the drive but his near-touchdown pass on a third down and seven was broken up by Antonio Baker, forcing the field goal attempt.
The Bulldogs defense came up big on KU's second possession. On fourth down and inches from the 11-yard line, Tech defensive lineman Adrian Logan stopped Jayhawk running back Jocques Crawford for no gain as the Bulldogs prevented KU from increasing its early lead.
After Bennett's interception in the end zone in the first quarter, Kansas drove 80 yards on eight plays as Reesing hit Daym Patterson with a three-yard touchdown pass to give the Jayhawks a 10-0 lead. Reesing was 6-for-6 on the drive for 72 yards.
The Jayhawks would tack on a 25-yard field goal by Branstetter with 1:36 to play in the first half to take a 13-0 halftime lead.
After Tech failed to record a first down on either of its first two offensive possessions of the third quarter, Reesing hit Dezmon Briscoe on a slant pattern and Briscoe broke six tackles on his way to a 48-yard score and a 20-0 lead.
"That was disappointing," Dooley said. "It was a good run and you can't take anything away from him but we didn't do a good job of tackling. We'll look at film and correct those kind of mistakes and get better."
KU now leads the series 2-1. Tech returns to action Sept. 20 when its host Southeastern Louisiana at 6 p.m.

text: Kagan Day 1: 'Vacuity and Farce,' the Sequel Garrett Epps Jun 28, 2010 Politics Share Tweet … LinkedIn Email Print Text Size Elena Kagan spent most of Monday afternoon in Hart Senate Office Building 215 wearing a blue jacket, pearls, and an expression of vague unease, like a society lady in a 1930s Peter Arno cartoon hesitating over whether to tell a fellow diner that her fox fur stole was on fire. The mummery of opening day is an odd way to introduce a potential Justice to the nation. She was required to sit on camera without speaking while a series of politicians alternately acclaimed her as a new Learned Hand and reviled her as a threat to the space-time continuum. She had to sit quietly while political opponents suggested that the American "mainstream" does not include former Justice Thurgood Marshall, former Judge Abner Mika, or even her own parents, who raised her in a "liberal household." This onslaught would, perhaps, arouse in any of us a nameless dread. At any rate, Kagan played no facial favorites--she gave Sen. John Kerry, the home-state Senator who came to introduce her to the committee, the same quizzical look she directed at Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions when he warned that "The personal right of every American to own a gun hangs by a single vote."The first day of the hearings was enough to induce coma. There really seemed to be three different groups in the room, holding parallel events by turns. Group one was the Democrats. Astonishingly, they stuck more closely to their talking points than did Republicans to theirs. The main talking point was: the Roberts Court is a handmaid of big business or corporations. In employment law, torts law, and election law, it has done the bidding of the rich to the detriment of Main Street. As for Republican worries about "activist judging," Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin retorted, "I have two words for them--Citizens United." (This case, decided late last year, struck down all limits on political advocacy spending by private corporations--and, the Democrats say, will poison our politics and make it impossible to enact progressive reforms.)Group Two were the Republicans, who seemed less able to stick to their script, perhaps because they don't believe in it. The strongest, or least weak, argument they have is that Kagan's experience is thin and, as Sessions charged, "strongly weighted toward policy, not law." They seemed disposed to portray her as anti-military because she followed Harvard's anti-discrimination policy even when it restricted military recruiting at the Law School because of the discriminatory "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But soon the attack wandered into questions about her two-minute speech introducing Israeli Supreme Court President Aharon Barak as "my judicial hero." Then we had the charge by Senator Charles Grassley that because Barack Obama named her, Obama "plainly believes that you measured up to his empathy standard." Texas Sen. John Cornyn made this contribution: "Liberty is not a cruise ship full of pampered passengers. Liberty is a man of war and we are all the crew. I don't know why I thought of that."Perhaps the reason for Cornyn's oracular proclamation is that there doesn't seem, at this point, much to say. The most important opening statement may be that by South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham, who genially greeted Kagan, praised some aspects of her tenure as solicitor general, and basically predicted her confirmation. His insouciance may arise from his next prediction: "I don't expect this appointment to change the balance of power." Ranking Republican Member Sessions, at a press conference during a recess, had the pop-eyed look of a McCain-Palin campaign staffer in late October 2008 predicting that Pennsylvania would go Republican.Group Three was Kagan herself, who finally came alive when asked to give her brief opening statement. She was by turns as zippy as Mickey Rooney proposing a show in Dad's barn (when describing her joy in teaching law to students) and as stern as a third-grade teacher challenging favored students (when pledging, if confirmed, to "listen hard, to every party before the court and to each of my colleagues").In the end, her opening statement was no more substantive than were the senators'. She cited the admonition given by Harvard Law School to each graduating student that law is a system of "wise restraints that make us free." The adage echoes conservative forefather Edmund Burke, who warned that "the restraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights." It was a conciliatory gesture to the conservative senators (those, at any rate, who know who Burke was).Burkean bromides may not suffice tomorrow. On one matter, the Republicans were on message. In 1995, Kagan had mocked the "vacuity and farce" into which Senate confirmations had tumbled after the Bork and Thomas hearings. Senators warned that they would expect her to live by that standard.As they did so, she looked vaguely uneasy. But no more so than usual.

scary boy
When I got home last night, my boy was in a funny mood. He gets that way sometimes. He has this scary, stern look on his face and a manner which seems to say that he'll squash you if you get in his way. It wasn't anything I'd done, apparently he'd been mightily pissed off at work yesterday and was trying to decide between being a 'manager' and being a scary bastard. What makes it all the more effective is that he can be so marshmallow-like sometimes.
