Question: I live in Redondo Beach and was told by the city to ask you what could be done about an infestation of the nuisance birds that are an absolute plague in our neighborhood. I have small children that are woken up by these vile creatures starting at 3am to around 8am! Please get back to me and let me know what I can and cannot do. (Armando R.)
Answer: There is a provision in the Fish and Game regulations that allows for landowners to destroy (shoot) crows that are damaging farm fields or other crops. However, it seems this is not what you are dealing with, not to mention the fact that firearms cannot be discharged within city limits. If I interpret your question correctly, your principle complaint is the noise level.
There are actually a number of cities that have similar problems with crows and the cities have coordinated with either the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture or the U.S. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to implement abatement measures. Here is a good article written by the Washington Department of Wildlife regarding nuisance crows http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/crows.html. As you will see as you read it, it's a tough issue because most of the abatement measures work only for short periods of time. If you believe the crows are in such a concentration that they create a public health hazard (droppings), then your city or county health department should be notified.
Bottom line, if the roosting crow population continues to grow, the city may need to get involved by contacting the USDA, Wildlife Services Division.
Pacific angel shark limits?
Question: Yesterday I caught and released a Pacific angel shark. At first I did not know what it was. It looked like a guitar fish but was different. After looking through the regulations, I didn't see anything about the Pacific angel shark. Is there a bag limit and/or size limit on them? Or are they a protected species? I also caught and released a broadnose sevengill shark. The regulations list a limit of one but no size limit. Does this mean any size can be taken? (Alan V.)
Answer: When a fish species is not mentioned specifically in the Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations booklet, section 27.60 applies (found on pg. 32 of the current Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations booklet). The general bag limit instructs fishermen to keep no more than 20 fish per day, of which no more than 10 fish may be of the same species.
Additionally, there are some species for which there is no bag limit (see section 27.60(b) for these species). If no size limit is given for a species, there is none.
Catching turtles at the lake?
Question: I've been seeing turtles at this lake we like to fish, and there's a good chance I could catch one. What are the regulations regarding catching turtles? Can I bring it home as a pet or to eat? (Huu Tran)
Answer: Before attempting to catch one of these turtles, it will be important for you to positively identify what species of turtle it is. Be aware it is illegal to capture western pond turtles, a native California species, but it is legal to catch and collect non-native turtles (painted, slider and softshell turtles) under authority of a sportfishing license. While there are no bag or possession limits for these non-native turtles, there are restrictions on the methods of take that may be used to catch them (CCR Title 14 Sections 2.00 and 5.60). The only way to legally collect western pond turtles would be if you held a scientific collecting permit (CCR Title 14, section 40(a)). However, these permits are issued only to scientists doing bona fide research.
How to find existing hunting license number?
Question: How can my son find his existing hunting license number? He has his certificate but lost his license. Can you let us know what to do? (Carla B.)
Answer: Your son can contact any CDFW office that issues licenses or any outside vendor that sells hunting licenses, and ask them to look it up. He will just need to provide either a driver license number, or if too young to have one, provide the parent's identification information that the previous license was purchased under.

Festool TS 75 Saw vs New Table Saw5/31
I keep hearing really good things about the Festool saw in that it can replace the table saw esp. if not doing a lot of repetitive cuts. That it cuts very well, well enough to glue up. In comparison to the table saw. Any comments on this? Am thinking of buying the Festool or a new table saw for my shop
It may seem like a good idea, I have a ts55 and I love it, I would not give it up for anything. However, I would say that it is no replacement for a table saw. As you said the Festool isn't great for repetitive tasks for one. What if you have to rip a bunch of stiles for doors, or make a bunch of parts? Also you can't dado with a track saw. The table saw is just so much more versatile. I have bought tools before that meet my needs for the moment, not thinking about how my business can change or needs that I may have in the future. It never ends well. It is best to get the most versatile tool first and specialize later as you come to see your needs. Just my two cents.
Yes, the table saw has always been a versatile tool in the shop, I agree there. Just getting opinions on this subject. I use a circular saw only on occasion.
Are you a professional furniture maker Ken? This question shows up on hobbyist sights where most of the woodworking is done on the internet instead of in the shop. My opinion is that you can't have a furniture making shop without the best table saw you can buy. Period! Think you can easily rip 1/4" off a 2" wide, 1' long piece of stock with a track saw?
I also use a circular saw infrequently, that really has no bearing here. All I am saying is that a track saw is a very specialized tool, no matter what the sales guy at the woodcraft or the Festool rep say, it cannot replace a table saw (I say that from personal experience, I heard a Festool rep claim that it could replace a table saw in a shop) I call BS. I do have experience here, I own both a table saw and a Festool track saw, and a table saw the Festool is not. I echo what Rich said, what if you need to take a small amount off a small piece not a job for a track saw.
I have the TS75 and although it is good for straight lining a boards edge to bring to the table saw or jointer and its great for cutting up sheet goods (up to 4 pcs at a go) It wouldn't and can't replace a table saw by any stretch of the imagination.
Prolly won't matter in your hobby shop ,
When time is more critical a TS can't be beat in my professional opinion .
Another consideration is simply that some work is taken to the saw, while other work has the saw taken to it.
I use a Festool saw for cutting to length the 2-1/4" x 42" x 120" doors we make. Can't imagine wresting them onto the panel saw. Conversely, I would never use the saw to cut rails to length, or rip out hardwoods.
Festool makes a fine tool, but is guilty of over-hyping the utility. They are targeting the small shop that knows they need table or panel saw, but hopes to get by on something less.
Is that you at the saw?
I like my T75 very much. It is a much better tool than my 1980's vintage Harbor Freight table saw, but I keep the table saw around for things that only a table saw, even a low quality one, can do.
My T75 produces finish quality cuts, and it is my go to saw when I am making furniture out of slabs.
So - if you can, get a Festool, keep your table saw, and know which saw is the best one for any given cut.
I do not understand the references to "hobby shop" when learning from pros continue to improve my skills and training from Philadelphia Furniture workshops and so forth. So am in my 2nd studies toward making fine furniture. The table saw has been a stand out for me, but the ability to learn from mentors are more important. In the National Park Service I have learn from the old timers that have skills that they have master over 30 years from restoration of historical structures using original techniques and using modern tools as well. So am on my way mastering some good skills. Asking questions of those that have already made mistakes and refined their skills is something I respect and feel that those people would be great to learn from. The ego can be a dangerous thing at time. But those that responded with good intent I appreciate. Going to stay with the table saw and eventually get a Festool.
Ego? Nothing to do with egos. You asked for comments, you got them. You are on a Professional Woodworking Forum, posting in a section called Professional Furniture Making, and you are asking if a track saw will replace a table saw. Professional woodworking is about speed, accuracy, quality, and lots of stuff about running a business. Hundreds of cuts need to be made a day. Anyone suggesting that a track saw replaces a table saw is either not making many cuts a day, or is working in an extreme niche business. To use the track, you have to lay out pencil marks, usually on both ends, grab the track and align it, grab the saw and make the cut, then move the track and saw away from the stock. Maybe you buy into their program and get the MFT, so you don't have to move as much equipment, but then you are size limited to what fits on the MFT. On the table saw, you set the fence and cut. Way quicker. Buy a Sawstop and safely make some money!
Both a track saw and a tablesaw have their place in most modern shops. One will never replace the other.
Modern marketing will target the upcoming woodworker with all sorts of tempting things that appear at first glance to stand in for more expensive (and intimidating) equipment. A good example is a router being used to make doors in lieu of a shaper. It will do it, but it is nothing like a shaper. The discerning woodworker should be able to spot this ploy quickly and take it in all with enough salt.
And the type of shaper? There is a big difference between a 1-1/2HP cabinet type vs a 8hp European with a real fence, interchangeable spindles, tilt and more. Once you have used a fine shaper, it is hard to look at a router table....
Same thing with those drum sanders. To the guy sanding away with a palm sander or similar, the drum sander looks like the Second Coming. But after using a real wide belt, the drum sander is then seen for what it is - an approximation of what is needed.
All just a variation of the "No free lunch" dictum.
If you think you could ever swing getting a slider (full sized one with 10' crosscut capacity),assuming you will have the room,I would forget the track saw.I have a slider,and use a tablesaw with a power feeder for narrow rips and dado's.With that combination,I have never needed a tracksaw,or ever had the desire to use one.But,if you know a full sized slider is not an option,then I think the tracksaw would be the next best thing rather than putting on some gadget on your table saw to cut panels,leave the tablesaw as a dedicated ripper.
I love my TS75 for cross cutting heavy sheets, jig making and truing live edge tops. I can't see joining or ripping heavy table tops when Festool track saw is is available. Choice between table and track saw, good quality cabinet 5hp saw all day long as my sleds and jigs are what is used 80%. And yes, if I had room for a slider I will some day love an Alten or Martin but until then you won't hear me crying until.
Tom Diel, your style with wood and metal is great looking!
Thank you for the compliment. I am definitely pursuing a sliver of niche market like mentioned above.
Festool makes a good saw for installations and the dust collection is excellent so it can save you clean-up time. I was disappointed in the TS55 as a furniture and cabinet making tool. A track saw is most useful for straight-lining one board edge and for long angled cuts if you don't have a slider. I agree that Festool has overhyped what is essentially an installer's tool. I like the American made Eurekazone system better because (1) it is expandable to a rational repeatable panel cutting system at lower cost and (2) I found having to plunge the Festool saw annoying. I would rather just push the saw most of the time. In flooring cuts and doing sink cutouts the plunge feature of the Festool is useful. I seldom used the riving knife after owning the Festool for awhile.

6 Changes Every SEO Should Make BEFORE the Over-Optimization Penalty HitsBlog Post: April 19, 2012
Thanks for the great info, Rand!
I rely on the Term Target tool and aim to get an A for my desired keywords. This tool tells me when I've keyword stuffed the title, so I can fix it. Is that still a good measurement based on what you've said with the title here in this whiteboard? We never put the same keyword in there 3 times.
We try to pick keywords for the title that are relevant to the page, have the highest traffic and lowest % difficulty score. Sometimes, the keywords are similar, but we're not totally confident LSI will compensate, so we put variations in the title. Our titles are usually: keyword, keyword, keyword. We use the meta description to clarify and qualify clicks from there. Now I'm worried about these titles. Help!

A Hindu organization attacked women in the college town of Mangalore, calling them "un-Indian for being out drinking and dancing with men." The attack has spurred debate on Indian women's behavior, including drinking and shopping.
The Hindu group, called Sri Ram Sena, also denounced Valentine's Day. Some government officials are joining the culture wars — one called shopping malls "havens of hand-holding." But India's women and child development minister criticized Sri Ram Sena's tactics as "Talibanization." Twenty-one-year-old Sanah Galgotia says the debate rages within Indian women as well, that they alternate "between being assertive and subservient and then judging others for tilting one way or the other." "In India," she says, "no matter how modern you are, you're still in this schizophrenic nonmodern thing." She adds, "We are globalized in our lifestyle, but very Indian at heart. I know I am."

It's that time of year again. Fedora is holding elections for 3 seats on the Board, and for 5 seats on the Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo). I am very exited by the caliber of contributors who have volunteered their time to serve on these committees, some looking for their first elected leadership role, some looking to continue or redouble their involvement.
I look forward to serving with the new Board members as we continue to map out the high-level goals for Fedora.
Please take a look at the slate of candidates, review the questionnaire answers and the Town Hall logs, make up your mind, and Go Vote!


text: Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted January 16, 2000 Here is an easy question for you historians: When were the paper Stamps/Seals across the caps of Whiskey bottles discontinued? I have some bottled in bond bottles that were bottled in the early 1980's that have these seals that state "United States Government supervision, bottled in bond". On these the year made and year bottled are printed on the same seal. (very helpful) On other bottles, the inscription "Tax Stamp, US Internal Revenue Tax Paid" or "Manufactured in accoudance with US government regulations". On these later stamps, no date is given. The presence of the stamp itself should give some indication of age if I knew when this practice was current.I know this is an elementry question, but still of good use to us newcomers.Mark A.

ERIC BOEHLERT/Media Matters For America:
Talk about lowering the bar to can't-miss depths.
In its Sunday, page-one profile of partisan "provocateur" and Free Beacon founder Michael Goldfarb, the New York Times pointed to a report the right-wing site published this month, which raised questions about a speech Chuck Hagel gave in 2007. Free Beacon claimed Hagel had called the State Department "an adjunct to the Israeli foreign minister's office."
The report represented yet another missile fired by the sprawling, well-funded, far-right smear campaign to obstruct Hagel's nomination as Secretary of Defense. (A campaign that seems destined to fail, by the way.)
Writing up Goldfarb's supposed successes, the Times treated the Hagel report as a singular Free Beacon victory. (Sen. Lindsey Graham mentioned it on the floor of the Senate!) Even though, as the Times itself point out, Hagel denied the quote and no video was ever found to confirm it. Additionally, one professor who was present at the speech adamantly denied Hagel ever made the State Department comment.
But hey, other than that Free Beacon totally nailed the anti-Hagel story.
Also, note that Goldfarb has a long history of making stuff up, calling it news, and then refusing to admit to his published fabrications. The Times, in its puffy profile about how Goldfarb deftly outwits liberals, failed to mention that troubling career trait.
Coming in the wake of last week's Friend of Hamas debacle at Breitbart.com, the Times' toast to the factually challenged Goldfarb raises questions as to how the mainstream media treat disingenuous players inside the GOP Noise Machine. (Historically, the press has played nice with them.)
The good news about Ben Shapiro's colossal Breitbart failure with regards to his bogus claims about the (fictitious) Friends of Hamas group that allegedly had nefarious ties with Hagel? It helped shine a spotlight on the type of dishonest skullduggery that goes on within the conservative blogosphere on a nearly daily basis. The bad news is too many publications analyzed the Breitbart debacle against the backdrop of journalism and fact finding.
It's time for journalists to give up the ghost and stop pretending that lots of players on the far right media spectrum even try to engage in journalism as it's commonly defined. (Thankfully, some exceptions exist.)
It's not journalism. It's not even partisan opinion journalism. It's proud propaganda. More and more, it's the intentional spreading of rumor and misinformation for political gain. (And often done in conjunction with the Republican Party.) For too long, the press has allowed right-wing players to hide behind the shield of journalism, and then acted surprised when they cut egregious ethical corners.
Increasingly, "propaganda" is the most accurate description. But it's one that the Beltway press seems reluctant to use, possibly out of fear for the right-wing backlash it would trigger. It certainly wasn't used when dissecting the Friends of Hamas charade.
From Slate [emphasis added]
Most news organizations, upon being caught out like this, would issue corrections. Breitbart.com hasn't done that.
At some point, if they want to be taken more seriously, members of the conservative media will have to take their own declarations about the commitment to journalism more seriously. More importantly, they'll have to realize that reporting isn't just the means to a desired political end; done right, it's the end in itself, no matter what it digs up.
I'm forgiving of occasional mistakes -- we all make them -- but doubling down on content that causes even ideologically friendly competitors to issue corrections? That's harder to forgive or understand.
All three pieces were dead-on in terms of diagnosing the deep shortcomings that the Friends of Hamas calamity highlighted. Where I'd differ is the premise that Breitbart editors were likely embarrassed about the fiasco, or privately wished they had fact-checked the story first and gotten it right, or that they care about getting anystory right.
There's simply no proof to back up those assumptions. None. And note that post-Friends of Hamas, the Noise Machine continues to embrace Shapiro, as his appearance on Fox News Monday made clear.
There's no reason for journalists to continue to view the likes of Breitbart.com through the overly generous prism of attempted-journalism. When seen through the proper lens, when viewed as a propaganda outlet, the product begins to make sense. Then, there is at least a logic to publishing a patently false story, pushing it out to like-minded propagandists within the GOP Noise Machine, and then refusing to acknowledge that it's a fabrication when called out by legitimate sources.
It's true that not long ago Breitbart sites at least attempted journalism, in the form of dishonest ACORN and Shirley Sherrod stings, and its never-ending Pigford coverage. Those were examples of far-right practitioners going through the motions of collecting original information and then publishing it, albeit in wildly dishonest forms.
Today, those deceitful stings seem like paragons of virtue compared to what too often passes for right-wing reporting.
Remember when The Daily Caller's "investigative reporter" Matthew Boyle claimed that Environmental Protection Agency would be hiring 230,000 new employees to implement climate rules. (A Daily Caller report that was pushed by the GOP.) Not true. Not even close. Yet in response, the Daily Caller refused to retract the absurd claim and instead "tied itself in knots of illogic," as the Washington Post's Erik Wemple described it. (Punchline: "Investigative reporter" Boyle now works for Breitbart.)
And remember when Breitbart and The Weekly Standard recently claimed that 11 armed security guards protect the prestigious Washington, D.C. school where Obama's daughters attend? The report was supposed to highlight Obama's hypocrisy regarding gun control. The claim though, was entirely bogus. Yet neither Breitbart nor The Weekly Standard ever acknowledged or corrected their obvious falsehoods. (A Quaker schoolcrawling with armed guards?)
As those quick examples suggest, right wing sites both consistently employ startlingly incompetent writers andrefuse to correct their falsehoods.
The larger point is to practice GOP propaganda. It's time that press reports reflect that.

So many books are written about how to be successful. There are plenty of webinars and seminars you can attend. Their pitch is that there's a "secret" to success and all you have to do is pay a few dollars to hear it. Trust me, the secret is not that mysterious. In fact, I'll give you the answer for free.
The secret of success is never failing.
Wow! Really Kev? Is that all there is to it? Man, I'm gonna get rich now with that fantastically sage advice!
But seriously, that is the key. Making mistakes isn't failing. Having to change directions isn't failing. Losing battles isn't failing. You only fail by coming to a complete stop.
No matter how bad it gets you can never, never, never stop pushing forward. There can be no option for failure. The problem is that people don't really understand the true meaning of failure. They think that success is getting rich in six months without any pain or problems. They think successful people have some magical skills that keep them from making big mistakes. They think admitting you did something wrong is the same as failing.
Pursuing perfection is great. Requiring perfection is crap. It's an excuse to quit. Successful people fail often, they just don't slow down long enough to let anyone know it. You could say that success is movement.
In a previous company of mine, I had to shut down an online service in which we had invested more than a million dollars of effort and equipment. It was painful and embarrassing but it was not failing. The service was flawed and was bleeding cash. The solution became very obvious to me one day: We had to kill it to keep the company going. In that case, failure would have been hanging on to that boat anchor and continuing to swim with it.
I had a sales trainer who made the analogy of success being similar to a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu. In the beginning, the pilot and navigator chart a southwestern course to their destination but the runway used required a takeoff facing east. After the plane took off, they make a banking turn and head southwest towards Hawaii. During the flight, they run into wind shears that cause them to head due south for a while and then due west after that. Several more course corrections are made that take them off their exact planned flight path. Should the pilot have given up and shut off the engines because the plane wasn't always facing directly towards Hawaii? Certainly not. I believe stopping in mid flight would definitely qualify as failure.
The same goes for a business. There will always be something that makes you want to shut off the engines and walk out of the cockpit. Sales are lower than projections, milestones are missed, technology gets in the way—all these and more will make you feel like failure is giving you the stink eye. The trick is to flip each and every one of these around and use them to your advantage.
Low sales are a chance to reinvent your marketing or products. Missed milestones give you an opportunity to learn to set more realistic dates the next time. Technology glitches? Yeah, they just suck. But knowing that they happen and will continue to happen gives you an edge over those that will give up when they hit the same wall you did. Think about it. If you know that most people give up and let a business die when things get tough, you can zip past them just by not stopping. You can even crawl and win a race against a corpse.
We hit a small wall this week and it was not fun, but it has only hardened my resolve to charge forward. My first employee was hired away by a large corporation. This was our decision and not some corporate espionage. It takes a lot of cash flow to run our household of three older teens, and even with cost cutting we knew we couldn't continue this burn rate very much longer. Our compromise was to have Judy get a job closer to home with shorter hours so she could continue to help with No Thirst Software and also contribute to our financial needs.
The tough part is that this felt like a failure on my part. Things may have been different if I had stockpiled more cash in the last two years or cut expenses earlier or programmed faster so we were selling MoneyWell 1.4 and an iPhone version. These are all great ideas, but also all in the past. I can't change any of them now and lamenting about what didn't get done will not help us on our success path.
We are successful. We have a great product lineup that is only getting better with each release. We have thousands of customers praising our work and asking for more. And the greatest success: We had a chance to work together for weeks and strategize about how to improve operations and the company in general. What was done and learned in that short period of time has strengthened our microISV beyond any financial investment.
What's the secret to success? Stay positive. Learn from everything you do—and fail to do. And most of all, stay the course. You and your passengers are not going to be any happier if you shut down your engines at 20,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. Success is simply continuing forward. Never stop.

Aaron Lewis is the tatted-out frontman for the multiplatinum-selling rock outfit Staind. You can now add "authentic country artist" to his description.
Moonlighting from his hard-rock day job, Lewis made a splash in the country world when his 2011 debut solo EP, "Town Line," reached No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart. He returns now with his full-length solo country manifesto, "The Road" (Blaster Records), which drops on Tuesday.
The bottom-line review? "The Road" is one of the best and most cohesive country releases of the year. That doesn't mean Lewis' road to Nashville has been smooth. It's not always easy for an artist to transition in the public eye from one genre to the next. Does Lewis feel he's gotten resistance for being a rocker gone country?
"Absolutely," he says in a phone interview. "I've heard, 'He's not country, he's from Massachusetts.' My answer to that is: Have you ever been to Massachusetts? Most of Massachusetts is extremely rural and old. (I live in) a town of 1,200 people that was established long before the Declaration of Independence."
Although Lewis first made his name in the rock world, his earliest musical influence was country music via his baby-sitting grandfather. "He was a huge country fan," Lewis recalls. "It was Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and George Jones — that old school, tear-at-your-heart-strings country. Then life changes and twists and turns and goes in different directions. We moved away from Vermont where my grandfather was and there was really no more country music in my life. All my friends listened to rock music and that inevitably led me to being in a rock band."
His reintroduction to country music came in 1999, when Staind toured with Kid Rock. Staind's tour bus had too many people and not enough beds, so Lewis took every opportunity to ride on Kid Rock's bus. The music he heard there was the soundtrack of his childhood. "The only thing on the stereo was old country music," Lewis says. "It was a blast from the past. It brought back all these memories. I haven't been able to get away from it since."
The first country song Lewis penned was "Country Boy." That number became the centerpiece for his "Town Line" EP and featured cameos from George Jones and Charlie Daniels. "Once I wrote 'Country Boy' and started playing it out, people responded to it from the word go," he recalls. "And here I am."
Lewis is a skillful singer-songwriter with a deep, rough-hewn, unmistakable stamp of a voice and a gift for emotional detail. He brings those abilities to bear on "The Road." He wrote all but one of the 10 tracks and there's not a weak cut in the bunch. It's a sharply observed country rock release that doesn't stint on the crying pedal steel guitar.
In the studio he worked with a number of Nashville's best session players, including guitarist Brent Mason, drummer Eddie Bayers and pedal steel guitarist Paul Franklin. They cut the songs live in the studio, many of them in one take. Lewis gave the musicians creative freedom, and that spontaneity shows. This is the sound of the A-team at its fluid and creative best.
"One of the thought processes behind (the recording) was to not overproduce it the way so much of today's country is," Lewis says. "(I wanted to) record it in a manner that was conducive with the old school. It's big and it's round and it's warm."
Musically the songs are a smart and eclectic mix of unique country influences. The title track crunches and snarls a la Merle Haggard and the Strangers. "State Lines" echoes the road-warrior ethos of Waylon and Willie. "Lessons Learned" recalls the distinctive guitar work of the Marshall Tucker Band's late Toy Caldwell.
Lewis' country influences are strong in the mix, but the songs here are clearly his own.
"I did come to Nashville as a rock guy and I made a country album," he explains. "But here's the big difference: I came to Nashville and I recorded my songs. I didn't go to the vast amounts of catalog or songs from Nashville songwriters that are available. These are my songs. I wrote these songs. They pertain to my life."
Much of that recent life involved Lewis pulling double duty in his music career. He juggled a hectic schedule, sandwiching recording sessions for his country album between Staind tour dates. "Staind would play three or four shows in a row," he recalls. "On the fifth day, when I was supposed to have a day off, I would get on the earliest flight to Nashville, record for the day, turn around, jump on a plane, go back to the tour and play three or four more shows in a row. Put that on repeat for the Staind tour."
With his raw edge and solid commitment to older country traditions, Lewis is emerging as one of the most noteworthy voices in country. In the snarling song "Party in Hell" he name-checks a kindred spirit, the outlaw singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson. In a number of ways, Johnson is his closest counterpart in contemporary country music. Both artists write their own material, have an eclectic fan base and champion hard country over country-pop.
"We are both purely influenced by the old country," Lewis says about Johnson. "I think both of us feel pretty firmly that the country genre in general at this moment is pretty watered down."
Lewis notes that his live country audience runs the gamut. "It's an amazing, eclectic mix," he says. "There are people from 80 years old to those who are just old enough to get into the venue. There are Goth kids to older couples to rockers to (fans in) big Stetson hats and silver belt buckles and cowboy boots. They all walk away at the end of the night happy."

Cashew substitutes in dairy-free cooking?
Hi there! I'm new to dairy-free cooking (just moved in with my fiancee and his son who are both dairy free). I've been researching recipies to try, and some look really delicious, but they seem to all use cashews to make "creamy" sauces, spreads, cheese analouges, etc. The problem? I am quite allergic to cashews. Has anyone tried to use almonds as a substitute in creating dairy analouges? Thanks in advance!
I think you could definitely try substituting almonds or a combination of almonds and macademias since cashews have more fat. The thing with the cashews is they are soft and grind up smoothly. I would first try using blanched almonds and soak them before grinding them.
Yeah, I agree with jkl on the almonds! also, if it's a sweeter recipe, coconut milk might work for creaminess? I also sometimes just use a coconut or soy creamer, too!

Although most houses these days are not equipped with root cellars, you can probably modify some space in your cellar or garage for storing vegetables.
Canning and freezing both have merits as means of putting your garden vegetables aside for winter and spring consumption, but it's always nice to have some crops on hand that haven't been processed. Here are storage tips:
- All vegetables need a dry, dark place for winter storage. The room should be well ventilated, and any storage containers should be kept off the floor or ground on blocks or pallets.
- Within this space, however, the optimum storage condition for each crop varies somewhat. Root crops such as beets, carrots, and rutabagas should be packed in sand or sawdust and keep best at around 35° Fahrenheit. Potatoes like it a little warmer – about 45°.
- You can achieve various temperature requirements by using various elevations and wall surfaces.
- At a depth of five feet, the natural temperature of the ground is 50°, which means that most cellars will require a source of colder air.
As much as you want to enjoy them at the time of harvest, your very finest, healthiest crops are the ones you should set aside for storage.
- First of all, be sure to harvest them when the weather is dry.
- In most cases, you should not wash the vegetables before storage, although if root crops are caked with moist soil, they can be hosed down and left outside to dry for a day or two.
- Do not rub the dirt off, as this will bruise the skin, and leave the stems intact.
- Dig up root crops after they've been in the ground through a cold spell, (this will fill the cells with sugar and starches instead of water) but not through a hard frost (except parsnips, which can be left in the ground through the winter and harvested in the spring) and leave them outside in the sun for a day or two to cure.
- Onions should cure for several days, and squash and pumpkins should be given weeks, if possible, for their skins to toughen.
Not all of your storage crops make the best of neighbors.
- Apples give off a gas that causes potatoes to sprout and promotes the ripening of tomatoes – neither of which is desirable while in storage.
- Turnips and cabbage give off a strong smell, which can eventually flavor surrounding vegetables as well.
- Seeds and pods are not candidates for the cellar. They need to be thoroughly dried in a dark, moisture-free location (try the attic) and may then be stored in jars in the pantry or kitchen.
- Check your root cellar regularly for temperature, moisture, rot, and animal infestation.
A well-kept storage place in the garage or cellar can add a lot of cheer to winter meals!
See our article on How to Build a Root Cellar.

Building a new home is an exhilarating and overwhelming experience. However, it can be a very tedious job if you do not have the time to accommodate all the responsibilities that it entails. In cases like these, Santa Monica new home builders are the best solution. Hiring a new home builder earlier during the design process is a significant advantage to ensure that your home will be cost effectively built. Home builders are experienced in construction management so you will be assured that no time will be wasted in the duration of your housing project. New house builders in Santa Monica will guarantee that all schedules will be followed. The delivery of the materials and the permanent workers are on time to get the job done. On top of that, Santa Monica new home builders are professionals that have a connection and good relationship with subcontractors that will guarantee quality work. Most importantly, new home builders are there to make sure that all necessary legal documents like licenses and insurance policies are taken care of to protect the interest of the homeowner.
Fair price breakdown
There are two ways that Santa Monica new home builders earn out of housing projects; the bidding method and the cost plus method. Most new home builders generally use the bidding method. With this approach, a builder will get quotations from his subcontractors or just use his judgment to arrive at a reasonable cost for the project. Typically, the price will include the plumbing, floorings, electrics, fees and much more. Afterwards, they will add their profit together with a contingency fee that is usually 10% of the overall cost. Contingency fees are included in case the project gets over budgeted. The total cost will be presented to the homeowner.
Find the Best Costs on New Home Builders - Santa Monica, 90402
The cost plus method is subdivided into two categories: the cost-plus-percentage and the cost-plus-fixed-rate. In a cost-plus-percentage setup, the homebuilder will get estimates for the subcontractor fees and the price of materials, appliances, furniture, and other things that will be included in the construction of the house. They will give allowance to each material that will be purchased and will mark up all of it by a set percentage. The cost-plus-fixed-rate, on the other hand, is the most preferable method. This approach allows a homeowner and new home builders to agree on a fixed rate that the builder will be paid upon. To determine the new home builder's fee, the cost of the house, the size difficulty of the project and the location should all be taken into consideration. The builder will compute the overall total cost of the project then set a certain percentage to arrive to their fee. Always choose a trustworthy and decent new home builder. By doing so, you will be assured that your housing finances will be clean and comfortable.

(courtesy of Nicki Minaj's Instagram)
Back in June, Nicki Minaj released the first look of her new clothing line for Kmart, which is expected in stores this fall. Yesterday (August 14), we got to see the rapper herself modeling some of the looks, in three pics from her Instagram.
Minaj claimed that she'd been wearing this sweatpants look in the studio, and revealed that the collection is comprised mostly of matching tops and bottoms (as seen above) and form-fitting "freakum dresses."
As Minaj fans would expect, the collection seems to be full of graphic prints and form-fitting designs, much like her own styling.
In the video below, watch Minaj meet with the K-Mart design team and explain to them that they're making "freakum dresses."

Canadian border officers have been told to wave travellers through without charging them duty in order to avoid long lineups during peak cross-border shopping periods such as long weekends.
At the same time, the federal government is forking out millions in additional overtime pay to border guards who patrol during long weekends, according to figures obtained by Postmedia News.
Last August, border services officers raked in just under $2 million in additional salary the week of the midsummer holiday — more than double the monthly average.
This means Canada is forsaking big bucks in potential revenue from same-day shoppers who've exceeded their allowances, while spending millions to boost staffing to hurry those same people through.
At the Peace Arch border crossing on Friday, several consumers who regularly shop in the U.S. said they've noticed border officials waiving the duty, especially when lineups are long.
Betty and Donald Harding, a married couple from Surrey, were heading down to the States to visit friends. They are Nexus card holders and usually stay 48 hours because they have a place to stay.
They were not surprised that border officials had been told not to charge duty during peak border crossing times.
"They've been waiving the duty for quite awhile," said Betty Harding, "We always declare our items and often they will just send us through. We bring back some clothes, but mostly just groceries."
She said even if the duty is charged, the prices are still so much cheaper in the U.S. and they'll continue to shop south of the border.
Mark Mascarenhas was heading down for the day with his girlfriend to hit up the outlet stores. The 27-year-old from Coquitlam, who shops in the U.S. around once a month, said knowing the officers were waiving duty fees during the busy long weekend traffic meant they could stock up on bargains.
"We might pick up a little more than usual," he said. "We usually keep it under $50 to avoid the duty, but this is a nice incentive, maybe it's not good for retailers here, but we're consumers."
Irvin and Verna Zentner also frequently visit friends in the U.S. from their home in Ladner, and said although they don't usually buy much, they have been waived through during busy times.
The Canada Border Services Agency has recently cut 250 jobs and, for the last 13 years, officers have been told to wave travellers through without charging them duty during peak periods.
Meanwhile, overtime pay is costing the federal government millions each year.
Obtained by Postmedia News through access to information, the figures are broken down weekly but each spike in overtime costs coincides with a holiday.
Easter Monday proved to be the costliest holiday, with border guards earning more than $2.6 million in overtime that week.
Canada's border patrol also saw massive spikes in overtime pay — nearly $23 million in total — during the weeks that included Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day — which is a holiday for federal government workers — Christmas and New Year's.
"It's counterproductive," said Jason McMichael, first national vice-president of the Customs and Immigration Union, noting tax and duty collection tend to take a back seat to drug and weapons enforcement when resources are tight.
"The costs associated with the overtime are astronomical. They indicate in my mind a staffing crisis."
McMichael said border guards earn a base salary of between $57,000 and $66,000, but he'd be surprised to learn of many earning less than $80,000 given all the overtime they're asked to work. He said it's not uncommon to work six- to 10-day stretches and noted burnout is a problem.
While the government insists it didn't cut front-line staff when it slashed about 250 jobs in budget 2012, McMichael said that's misleading. About 70 border officers, he said, accepted an offer of early retirement, and their positions were never filled. Hefty overtime costs, he argued, indicate the government should ultimately be hiring more front-line officers.
"When you're spending this much money on overtime, when a significant portion of that could be used to just bring staffing levels up to a healthy level, it's better for everyone," he said. "There's no question the staff would be more productive because they're not being forced to work long hours."
According to an overtime request sheet for this holiday Monday obtained by Postmedia News, one Ontario border crossing is anticipating it will need 17 border guards to work overtime. The rest of the week — Tuesday through Sunday — the crossing has scheduled 91 additional overtime shifts, the majority of which last eight hours.
And this is just one of 119 land border crossings in Canada.
McMichael said there's so much overtime to go around, officers often don't even want it and some crossings are having trouble filling shifts.
The federal government did not respond to questions about the state of CBSA's overtime budget. Julie Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney, however, denied front-line border officers have been cut and, in a clear war of words, urged the union to quit "fearmongering and providing misleading information."
During the fiscal year 2012-13, the Canada Border Services Agency spent nearly $52 million on overtime for border services officers. For all CBSA employees, it cost the government an additional $73.8 million for time off in lieu.
About 6,203 CBSA employees claimed overtime last year and the government dished out another $420,094 in meal allowances.
Quebec had the highest annual overtime costs, paying out more than $14 million to border guards.
Southern Ontario had the second highest overtime costs at $11.7 million, followed by the Pacific region at $11.5 million, the Prairie region at $7.5 million, Atlantic region at nearly $5.8 million, the Greater Toronto Area at nearly $5.3 million and Northern Ontario at $3.8 million.
Also compensated for mileage to and from work when asked to do an overtime shift, some regions included the cost of reimbursing border guards. Mileage payouts cost Quebec another $34,000 last year. It cost the Greater Toronto Area region another $26,089 and southern Ontario coughed up another $218,542 for mileage and meals.

On Appeal
Jacobsen appealed the ruling and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) reversed the lower court. Disaster averted, was the general sense in the FOSS community. But it's worth taking a look at the details.
The CAFC found that the conditions of the Artistic License were in fact conditions on the scope of the license. The court pointed in particular to the phrase "provided that" in the license, a phrase that is generally regarded in law as imposing a condition. And the court concluded that Katzer was liable for both copyright infringement and violation of contract, implying that Jacobsen was entitled to both injunctive and monetary damages under copyright law.
The fact that no money changes hands in a copyleft license didn't mean that there were no economic implications of the violation of the license, the court said. And, interestingly, the court cited Lawrence Lessig's Creative Commons license (creativecommons.org) in its opinion, clearly implying that its decision was not limited to this one license.
The CAFC sent the case back to the lower court for resolution under this guidance.
The implications of the CAFC's reversal are pretty significant. This makes it clear that free and open-source software creators can seek statutory damages without having to prove monetary harm, can get an injunction against an infringer, may be able to recover attorney's fees, and may have other rights as well. All of this would have gone away if the lower court's decision had been upheld. It's a big deal.
This is not the end of the story. Various people have raised questions regarding the scope of the decision and the jurisdiction of the court. The CAFC typically deals with patent law, not copyright; this is a decision in a U.S. court and not binding on other countries; the decision hinges on the language of the license and might not apply to all copyleft licenses; etc. Any speculation here falls under the heading of opinions about opinions not yet rendered, but basically, in the view of Lawrence Lessig and others who have been following the case closely, this decision is likely to set the precedent for other courts and cases and jurisdictions.
As for the fact that the decision hinges on the specific language of the license, that's a positive thing for those crafting copyleft licenses. A Federal court has now articulated just what language needs to be in your contract to make it enforcable under copyright law.
This is an important decision not just for those who create free and open-source software, of course. It also has implications for anyone on the other end. If you've been deliberately remaining ignorant of whether software you use infringes copyleft licenses, this ruling is your wake-up call.

Happy Birthday Drew!
What up dude? Happy Birthday! Where are you?
Thanks dude, just waking up, I'm in Texas right now for Aaron's contest this weekend.
I'm calling you to do a little mini-interview and feature on you for the Alliance website, what should I call you, Andy, Andrew, or Drew?
Ummm let's go with Drew, follow in the footsteps of good old Drew Mcguckin
What's your plan the rest of this year?
Nothing too crazy, I'll be going back to Ohio to spend some time with the family for awhile and then I'll be back at the Nan house in Orlando
How's life at the Nan House? Who is living there now?
(laughter) Well life at the Nan house is good, my friends Tad and Chris just moved in so it's me, those two, Jack, and Roland. Nan life is always good though, there is no boats on the lake so it keeps things pretty low key for riding. We've a got a few rails back up and in working order so it's been fun sessioning those recently.
How old are you today?
Got any insane new tricks lately people need to know about? Or at least something you've been stoked on?
I haven't really done anything too crazy lately. I did do a few three flips down Ben Horan's pool gap so I was stoked on that
What about tricks other people are doing that you are stoked on?
Ben did this footplant in Texas that was super sick, that kind of stuff definitely gets me pumped to try new stuff. All the lock in tricks people have been doing on rails is pretty awesome too. I saw a video of some Louisiana kids doing different heelflip variations and stuff and that was killer too. Seeing people kind of come out nowhere is definitely a good thing for the sport.
What wakeskater influences you the most?
Hooker definitely influences me a lot, he's always doing some pretty gnarly stuff. My brother influences me a lot too. He kind of took the winter off since it is so cold up in Ohio but he catches up so fast. He has no problem learning new tricks so that really pushes me to get better. I was just on a trip with Travis Doran, Nick Taylor, and Stu Shinn and those guys were killing it. Dan Hampson has been back on the water too so I can't wait to ride with him and see what he's up to. Yan has been killing it lately too with a bum knee. Ben Horan of course is always doing locked in stuff and making wakeskating look good.
Who wins in a game of S.K.A.T.E between you and Ben?
Well skateboarding definitely Ben
Well then who wins in a game of S.K.A.T.E on the water?
(laughter) Oh probably Ben again
Who has the better blog, Obscura or Remote?
(laughter) I would say you guys for sure. Is that is even a question for the interview or are you just wondering?
It's going to go in the interview now that you answered the question right, any last shout outs or questions I need to ask before I let you go back to sleep?
Umm I really can't think of anything, it's too early dude, we had a long drive here from Florida

From an artistic and design perspective, the research subject of the Media Lab is digital media, how is it created and used and what is its potential impact in society. Our research engages in practical and theoretical activities covering both traditional and new categories in non-conventional ways. The research agenda of Media Lab is truly interdisciplinary, international, and closely aligned to Aalto University's strategic priority in information communications technology (ICT) and Media.
Our focus on digital media as harbinger of the latest trends in audio-visual production is also important in much of our research. Our research encompasses multi-modality and cross-media tools and methods, textual, visual, auditory, and most recently tactile as well as gesture-based communication channels and interfaces. Since 2000 we have been researching the use of visualization and information design in order to create new forms of visual literacy and communication. Nevertheless, we also emphasize and are committed to further development of excellence in communication through artistic practices.
Our research staff is engaged in a wide variety of tasks, from developing and leading research projects, working in research groups, teaching and guiding doctoral dissertations, to lecturing in the Master of Arts program. As of March 2017, there are more than 40 full time and part-time doctoral students in the Lab. The current ratio of student to faculty for post-graduate studies is 1:7.

This has to stop…
It can't have escaped your notice that there is currently a silent epidemic sweeping through the Premier League, a craze which fosters a culture of hostility, shame and devastatingly sudden isolation – The Relentless Nutmegging of England's John Terry.
There was a point when John would fight the mockery in the only way he knew how…
"Natmeg this you c**t!"
…but those days are sadly gone. John is old, weary, broken. The legs have gone, the mind is soon to follow. When even Andy Carroll is 'doing you like a kipper' then you know the end is probably nigh.
Said Terry himself, eyes glazed, through chattering teeth:
"It's pwopa nawty geez. Makin' me look like a fackin gimboid innit?
"First I made out like dey were all meggin' me cuz me fackin Hampton Wick's so fackin huge that I couldn't close me Bacon And Eggs up pwopa like – but troof be told guv, I'm hung like a fackin dormouse."
And so, the appeal for help goes out.
With just £400,000 a week, we will be able to ship John Terry off to the Chinese Super League or the UAE, where he can live out the rest of his footballing days in peace. He'll still get nutmegged, but at least he won't be able to read the papers afterwards.
Please, give generously.

For some reason, we sure have been talking about cocaine around here a lot lately. There was the coke-tastically 1980s DeLorean sedan, and then there was the Ferrari California posing next to what looked like a mountain of the white stuff. Blow and expensive cars just seem to go hand-in-hand!
So here's our question for today: What's the ultimate car for a cokehead?
I vote for the Porsche 928. If you were a rich asshole in the late 70s and 80s who put all your money up your nose, odds are you drove one of those bad boys. Hell, even Scarface owned one. That alone means it should take the title.
Your turn. What's the perfect car for nose candy enthusiasts?

Black is a very direct, straightforward finish for chandelier lighting. Black chandelier lighting offers timeless appeal, complements virtually any home décor, and pairs well with any existing lighting fixtures. Black chandeliers are available in different sizes, styles, to match your home décor.
Light Your Space with Black Finished Chandelier Lighting Fixtures
Consumers can expect to find more than 100 chandeliers that are finished in a very unassuming black color. The sheer variety in the sense of the number of types of black chandelier lighting should be enough to offer any shopper what he or she desires. Black chandelier lighting solutions come as candle chandeliers, crystal chandeliers, glass chandeliers, outdoor chandeliers, chandelier fans, and even as pot racks with lights and shades. In addition to these various types, the price range of black chandeliers is such that average people can afford them, too.
Black chandelier lighting is ideal for illuminating a kitchen, dining room, foyer, nook, and even a bathroom. Chandeliers delivers general and task lighting depending of the fixtures design and dimming abilities. Pair your new chandelier light fixture with bathroom wall mount lights from the same collection or brand to complementary styles and finishes.
The top names in the business make black chandeliers, everyone from Hinkley to Hudson Valley to Kalco to LBL, just to name a few. There are many top black chandelier lighting retailers and manufacturers from which online shoppers can select black chandelier lighting. Black chandeliers can be quite understated and direct, such as the 3LT black chandelier lighting by Murray Feiss, a moderate-size chandelier that comes with frosted amber glass and a country-style theme. Other types of black chandeliers can be more exquisite, too. In example, Fine Art Lamps' Large 12LT black chandelier lighting is 46 inches in width and comes with a finish of tea-stained ivory along with motifs right out of the 14th century. In this latter case, the exquisiteness justifies a much higher cost of nearly $6000.
