FBD-KM Bed Redefiner is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jobee from Time saver Works well as long as the soil is neither wet or too dry. When damp, the tool clogs and has to have the soil removed from the housing every six inches or so. If the soil has a lot of clay and is very dry the blade fails to cut to the full depth. If soil conditions are just right it works great and beats using a shovel as I have done in the past.

Rated 5 out of 5 by grasscuts from Very easy to use I have recently bought this unit for my landscaping. I normally have to rent a bed edger, and my local dealer told me about this great little tool. What took me about 4 hours to do, took me only about 30-45 minutes. Very easy to use, doesn't throw the dirt like the rented bed edger. The only drawback was that it really didn't dress the side of the edge with grass over hanging. After I cut the edges, I just took my other edger with the metal blade and dressed the edges. Than followed with my blower to diffuse the grass and extra dirt on the edges. This edge redefiner will save me lots of time with my customers. This is a must needed tool if you do a lot of edging. I use this head with my FS250.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Godfather from This is a great tool I have most of the tools to fit the KombiSystem and by far this on is the most rewarding. The job it does is hard to believe and with ease. I should have bought this sooner but thought it was expensive for an edger. I'm hear to tell, you won't be disappointed. I would recommend it to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EZDrive from Real Time saver I am a homeowner with over 2,000 ft of bed edges. Over time erosion and frequent rain can flatten or fill in the edges of flower beds allowing grass to migrate into the mulch. The Bed Redefiner allows for frequent dressing of the edge without using a shovel or the need to remove dirt or excess mulch. It is simple to use and saves time by cutting a nice edge and pulverizing the excess dirt. When redressing a edge that has been mulched, this tool creates a nice groove and allows the mulch to fall back to the edge without the need for excessive raking. I suggest running an edger to create a defined cut through the grass and then run the redefined following this newly cut line. I get perfect results using this method.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KETMS660Magnum from Awesome product - works very well The bed redefiner works awesome! I use this on my KM130R and it does a vey good job. Surprisingly it chews thru almost everything including rocks. Obviously you want to avoid rocks if you can but this unit has no trouble plucking them out of the bed edge. One drawback is the fact that although the redefiner digs a nice bed edge, it rips or folds the grass on the bed edge into the area where it is edging. As a result, after I do all my beds, I go out with the string trimmer and run it on its side to cut the folded/ripped grass that's overlapping the edge. This helps to get the crisp, manicured look we desire. I wouldn't want to run this unit without the KM130R power head as it is power hungry. You could probably get away using this on the KM110R but definitely not the KM90R.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EyeGuy2014 from A nice attachment for defining a bed This is a useful tool. It does a pretty good job of cutting an edge on a bed and I am satisfied with the tool. If you are cutting through sod, it is not a one-pass tool. I do feel like I had a workout when I am done using it, I think this is due to the angle of the tool. I have to use it hunched over and my back gets tired. Yet, it beats the heck out of a shovel for speed and quality of look. I have the 130 Kombi motor and have no power problems. Be advised, wear your safety glasses because the dirt does fly.

Did you know?
Jersey: is a knitted fabric that most often has an extremely fine surface which is distinguished by its high degree of elasticity. The resulting comfort is what makes jersey so popular.
Elastane: a synthetic, elastane is added in small quantities to fabrics to provide stretch and shape retention. It allows freedom of movement and delivers long lasting fit. Lycra is a premium branded version of elastane.
Viscose: used to be known as 'artificial silk' because like silk it has superb drape, is soft to the skin and can be dyed in rich colours. A man-made fabric, it's made from wood pulp and blends easily. You will often find it blended with other fabrics to add softness, lustre or absorbency (it's highly absorbent and so cool to wear in the summer).

Rancho Cucamonga, CA - A nine-run eighth broke open a one-run game, as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes completed a three-game sweep of the Lake Elsinore Storm with a convincing 12-5 win on Sunday evening at LoanMart Field.
Corey Seager had a two-run homer as well as a two-run single, highlighting a nine-run eighth inning for the Quakes, sending the Storm to their sixth straight loss.
Quakes' starter Freddie Cabrera (3-3) was outstanding, allowing just a pair of unearned runs over five solid innings in the win.
The Storm took a 2-0 lead over Cabrera in the second, as after a one-out error, Bridger Hunt's two-RBI single put them in the early lead.
The Quakes stormed back in the third against Storm starter Frank Garces (7-8), as Darnell Sweeny gave Rancho the lead for good with his league-leading 14th triple of the year, a bases-loaded liner down the right-field line that put the Quakes up 3-2.
That lead held until the eighth, when Rancho broke things open against Storm reliever Luis De La Cruz. O'Koyea Dickson started the outburst with a two-run single, then scored on Seager's two-run blast, his third in a Rancho uniform, making it 7-2. The Quakes poured it on with five more, capped by another Seager hit to drive in two more to make it 12-2.
Lake Elsinore put some pressure on Blake Smith in the ninth, scoring three times before reliever Edwin Carl slammed the door and earned the final two outs.
Rancho's win, combined with another loss for High Desert, means the Quakes are now just a half-game back of the wild card leading Mavs with 14 games to play.
After a day off on Monday, the Quakes will head to High Desert for a three-game showdown on Tuesday, sending JonMichael Redding (4-4) to the mound against Mavs' lefty Cameron Hobson (5-9) at 7:05pm.
The Quakes will return to LoanMart Field on Tuesday, August 27th for the final home stand of the regular season. Tickets are available by calling (909) 481-5000 or online at rcquakes.com. We hope to see you very soon at LoanMart Field. Go Quakes!

Question for those producing docs, how much of your work falls under WFH (work for hire)? and how much of your work do you retain copyright too? I'm just trying to figure out (mostly for myself as a freelancer) when work for hire is okay and when i should be demanding better terms. I'm mostly referring to producing a full piece from start to finish. I know work for hire is fairly standard if you are working as a shooter, or editor, but what about when you are doing it all and the original story idea is yours? Does it make a differents who the client is? whether it is a NGO or network? Any insight on this would be great!
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Paul...go with Adobe. I'm not sure if they have a Premiere "lite", but if you stay on a PC you'll eventually work with Adobe software. Better to invest your time and energy in one interface that will be the standard for years to come.
Or, this might be the time for you to switch to a Mac....
Wed 30 Jan 2008
wolfgang, i'm sure you've got some very solid advice there for darla, but i think it might be better if you use the "Hide" function next time (especially for the super-long transcripts you included). thx.
andrew, if you are doing signficiantly more than just shooting/editing, but actually directing and producing the entire piece, you should definitely be demanding better terms than your normal work-for-hire rates. that could be whatever you negotiate (e.g. back-end points). of course, your client always has the option of saying "no", so be prepared to respond appropriately... if they don't want to give you a share of the project, then ask for a higher dayrate.
Wed 30 Jan 2008
I'm getting ready to buy my first Mac. Some have told me that a macbook will suffice for what I want to do, which is basically to gather and store footage and images for my editor and eventually work on a rough-cut for him. Others say that I should invest in a macbook pro. Since I'm not the editor, would anyone like to weigh in on why I might need a pro in the future?
Wed 30 Jan 2008
Thanks. I wasn't sure how the hide feature works. What do you do? Just click Hidden section?
Thu 31 Jan 2008
The basic Macbook works fine as a FCP machine if you're working with DV and/or HDV material. I have a first generation Macbook set up with an external keyboard and trackpad, and a 24 inch Dell monitor. It's much faster than a 3 year old G5 workstation, and feels very close to the Mac Pro for most functions.
But Motion won't run on it, and it doesn't have a card slot or Firewire 800 so expansion possibilities are somewhat limited.

Thanks for the link!
Thu 31 Jan 2008
Sorry about that guys,
since I actually don't like writing that much, I'd only intended to knock out two sentences re translations, then the keyboard just went on by itself....
Thu 31 Jan 2008
Yes, well, I appreciate these explanations. I understand better now. Seems my dp would be the best translator, since his Italian is great and his English is excellent (and he gets the meaning of what these people – older people in a remote village often speaking in proverbs, etc...) are saying. But I don't know that I'm going to have him actually edit b/c after we finish shooting, I go back to NYC and he goes to Milan. I think it would be offensive to ask him to log/translate (obviously I'd pay him) but not edit . . . so I'm a little stuck. Well, not stuck. Just feeling in a bind. We're here for 10 more days and we've got a lot of good material (and information) already. I want to cut a trailer to enter into a grant/contest for April 1, so just wondering if I should cut our shoot like 4 days short and translate/log . . . edit . . . with him . . . (for the trailer, perhaps). I can still come home with all my footage and work with another editor down the road. This is only going to be about 20 hours of footage . . .
Thu 31 Jan 2008
unless your DP is very unusual, he shouldn't object to doing the logging and translating with you (and not the edit). he might object to logging and translating in general, but he'll certainly understand that you need to edit this locally back in NYC.
one thing to keep in mind is that logging and translating almost 20 hours of footage (or even 10 hours) will take a LONG, LONG time. for every 1 hour of footage, i would estimate at least 4 hours to turn that footage into a transcribed, translated, timecoded document – and i believe that is a very conservative estimate.
Fri 1 Feb 2008
If he is willing, you could ask your DP to do the transcriptions and translations for you. There is no need for him to log the tapes to do this. Otherwise, you might find someone else in Italy.
As I explained in a previous post, you should do the logging of all the tapes WITH the editor with whom you are going to edit your documentary because you BOTH need to be aware of all the video.
This way you'd only need to copy onto VHS tapes or a DVD with burnt in timecode (in order to be able to transcribe beginning end ending times for each sentence/paragraph) the tapes (or sections there of) with the interviews. You'd still need to capture this material onto a computer – and this takes place in real time – but you could return home with the tapes and your DP or whoever will be doing the transcription and translation could work at it over here and then e-mail you the finished transcripts.
Fri 1 Feb 2008
Darla, if you can afford a professional translator, that would be your best bet. It really is an art and the challenge with working with someone who doesn't do this is that it can go much more slowly and either not accurate enough or too accurate.
With Crucible of War, we had a lot of material, so split the translations of the transcripts between the director (who did speak the language while the editor didn't), two student friends, and two professional linguists. The quality of the translations was best with the two professionals, followed by the students followed by the director. He was simply too close to the material and his translations took a painstakingly slow amount of time and were too literal in text. Once we got to the point of editing, we brought in one of the professional linguists to work with us on the subtitles, both to help the editor get the cuts exactly right, improve the linguistic construction, and dare to lose some of the exact words to fit the space and still retain the meaning.
Fri 1 Feb 2008
Since we're specifically on the subject of translation – can someone give me an idea of price ranges (per hour, I assume) . . . and were you finding that it's about 4 hours per 1 hour of footage?
Also, do I need it written first in Italian, and then translated to English, or just written in English? I assume both.
Finally, the thing with my DP is that he really loves these people, and their stories, and he knows the context for some of the wacky things they're saying . . . so while he may not be a professional translator, I think he might offer some good insight. Perhaps I can just ask him to do the work (instead of cutting our shoot short, I'd probably send him back to Milan with DVD copies) and then have it looked over by a professional translator.
Fri 1 Feb 2008
Maybe your DP can do the Italian translation with notes, then you can have that transcribed here in the states.
Sat 2 Feb 2008
Edited Sat 2 Feb 2008 by Darla Bruno
Sounds good, Boyd . . . (Maybe I'm just tired) but can you spell this out for me a little more? So he'd write everything out in English? And then . . .
Sat 2 Feb 2008
You need to transcribe the dialogues first in Italian so you have a record of what was really said and also to allow another translator to check the translation (if necessary).
Sat 2 Feb 2008
Darla, along with what Wolfgang said, your DP would also be able to annotate the "wacky" things your subjects are saying (either in Italian or English). This is especially important if they are speaking in a less common vernacular.
Another workflow would be to do your translations first, and then send them to your DP to review and annotate. I remember reading that they did a similar thing on the English/Chinese translation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where they would send the translations back and forth between China and the US, constantly tweaking to get the best translation they could.
Wed 6 Feb 2008
I'm looking for advice about how to film a scene that shows a group of tourists flying to a remote destination to do whale-watching. I'm thinking of doing this in two parts. First, filming the tourists in the plane looking out the window. Second, flying in a plane with no tourists, so I can ask the pilot to circle around a couple times in order to film the ocean/desert below. (Am I being unrealistic in thinking I could get this right in a couple of takes?) I'm shooting with a Panasonic DVX100b, 24P. Would appreciate any suggestions.
Wed 6 Feb 2008
Edited Wed 6 Feb 2008 by Erica Ginsberg
How long does it take the plane to drive over the interesting land/seascape? Could you not save yourself time and presumably money by shooting both shots on the same trip by getting yourself a window seat for the beauty shots and then standing up to shoot the tourists looking out the window? Or shooting the tourists on your way in and the land/seascape on the way out?
Wed 6 Feb 2008
Let's say this takes place in Baja California, which has a mix of whales, desert and water. Would you consider renting a seaplane for the second portion where you give the grand overview of the whole scene?
If you are in fact doing it in Baja, you could probably charter one at a reasonable price out of Loreto and you would get some amazing footage, shot from a lower altitude.
Just a thought.
Thu 7 Feb 2008
On Second Skin, whenever we traveled to a location via plane, we shot tons of stuff out the window. Several of our characters took flights during the movie, so this stuff was really useful. You can get a lot out of airliner windows, especially right before landing and right after take off.
The whales raising young in baja are something everyone should see first hand. Talk about an animal that makes you want to save the world.
Thu 14 Feb 2008
Thanks for the suggestions regarding aerial shots. Here's a sound question. I've been shooting with a relatively inexperienced boom operator. When I still had access to school equipment we used a breakaway cable between the camera and the boom/headphones. How do those of you who do not use a mixer allow for boom op and camera op to monitor sound? I have a cheap 8 pin splitter and I've thought of getting a 8 pin female/male stereo cable that would serve as an extension to my boom op's headphones. But I'm afraid the splitter might reduce sound a lot and the cables may cut out. I've been reluctant to use a mixer because I think it's a lot for the inexperienced boom op to handle. Would love to know how others handle this.

Sometimes things don't go according to plan but they still work out, like this idea for a Chicken, Kale and Sweet Pepper Wrap. Originally I was thinking I'd use the kale leaves for the wrap itself but once I pulled out the ingredients I realized it just wasn't going to work. Thankfully I had some tortillas on hand so I decided to put the kale IN the wrap. It worked out great! I loved the combo of salty bacon, sweet peppers and slightly bitter kale.
- 1 thick slice of sweet onion chopped
- 1/2 of a sweet orange pepper chopped
- 1 tbsp real bacon bits
- 2 large leaves of fresh kale chopped
- 2 oz cooked chicken (I used leftover rotisserie that bought the other day)
- 1 whole wheat low-carb tortilla
- Olive oil non-stick cooking spray
- kosher salt
Spray a small non-stick skillet with the cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until browning. You want the flavor. Once brown add the pepper. Sprinkle the peppers and onion with a bit of kosher salt. Add the bacon bits and lower to medium heat. Stir and let the flavors combine a bit.
Add the chopped kale and stir in. It will start to wilt. Add the chicken, stir to combine and cook until warm. About another 1-2 minutes.
Pour the chicken, kale and pepper filling into a the tortilla. Wrap and eat!
I'm basing the nutritional information on a standard low-carb whole-wheat tortilla that is about 90 calories. The WWP are based on total nutritional info but if you count points for just the tortilla, chicken and bacon bits (everything else is free) it's about 4. That's why I put it in parenthesis.

Swansea City 1-2 Everton
Match Reports, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Ross Barkley's outstanding free-kick helped Everton win 2-1 at Swansea City as Roberto Martinez's side moved into the top four.
It was a deserved victory for the Toffees as Martinez enjoyed a successful return to his former club.
The first half was a drab affair although Everton had the best chance to break the deadlock when poor play by Chico Flores gifted possession to Kevin Mirallas.
The chance was wasted though as Mirallas opted to shoot when a pass to a team-mate seemed the better option and Gerhard Tremmel was able to make a comfortable save.
Tremmel then dropped a looping free-kick at the feet of Romelu Lukaku, but the goalkeeper was able to recover before the Everton striker could turn the ball home.
In Swansea's best move of the first half, Wayne Routledge surged forward before finding Wilfried Bony with a precise pass only for the striker to then lift his left-footed drive way over Tim Howard's goal.
Everton began to look more threatening after the break with Steven Pienaar dragging a shot wide before Barkley slipped at the vital moment when a goal seemed imminent.
Gareth Barry then hooked a volley just over the bar after Sylvain Distin had headed the ball on to him.
Barkley powered forward and let fly with a great shot that Tremmel touched on to the crossbar before, in the 66th minute, Seamus Coleman's swerving shot beat the Swans keeper and gave Everton a deserved lead.
Just four minutes later, and against the run of play, Dwight Tiendalli got ahead of the day-dreaming Pienaar and saw his shot deflect off Bryan Oviedo before going over the line.
However, Barkley grabbed the winner when his 84th-minute free-kick beat the Swans wall and found the gap between the crossbar and Tremmel.
Howard ensured Everton would be returning to Merseyside with all three points when he tipped substitute Roland Lamah's stoppage-time volley over the bar and away for a corner.

text: Every Baseball Is Rubbed with This Special Mud Before It Gets UsedCasey Chan10/16/11 4:00pmFiled to: SportsBaseballSpecialmudMudLenablackburne1004EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Baseball, America's past past time, is a pretty quirky game with quirkier players and quirkiest traditions. Chew tobacco! Sunflower seeds! Rally caps! Seventh Inning Stretch! And even a "special mud" that gets rubbed onto every single baseball in the major and minor leagues. Huh?AdvertisementThe mud is called Lena Blackburne Original Baseball Rubbing Mud and it comes from a secret spot in South Jersey off the Delaware River. Jim Bintliff, who owns Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud, skims the top inch layer on the muddy riverbanks for collection and then puts the mud through screens to refine it before packaging it, aging it and shipping it to all the baseball teams in the MLB. Bintliff says the texture of his special mud is like chocolate pudding. Tasty.The mud is applied because new baseballs are much too slick for pitchers to grip properly. Baseball ended up using Lena Blackburne's special mud because its fine-grain sediments properties added grip without scratching the leather and messing up a ball's trajectory. The tradition of manually rubbing this special mud into balls started in the 1950's and continues to this day. [NewsWorks]

After driving the new 2014 Mazda6 on a few different occasions, our overall impressions are favorable thanks to its sharp styling and fun-to-drive factor. While the segment is still dominated by names like Camry and Atima, Mazda's midsizer has come a long way over the years.
The 1996 Mazda 626 was approaching the tail end of the fourth-generation model, but even then, the story was almost the same as it is now: the Mazda was often overlooked despite its "decidedly upscale sheetmetal" and an optional 2.5-liter, 160-hp V-6 that propelled the 626 from 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds. The oscillating air vents were a neat feature, but we were puzzled by the lack power door locks in our range-topping ES model.
Still, our year-long test of the 1996 626 was mostly positive: "Mazda has a clear underdog winner on its hands. It's a shame more buyers don't know it."
Mazda unveiled the fifth-gen 626 in 1998, with new styling and slightly revised powertrains that included the 125-hp, 2.0-liter I-4 and the 170-hp, 2.5-liter V-6. We appreciated the 626's fit and finish and standard features like keyless entry (and a power antenna!), but we felt the V-6 powertrain could have benefited from better gearing and refinement compared to its Japanese competitors:
"True, the Mazda's engine is smooth, but it constantly sent the driver searching for a higher gear when the transmission was already firmly in fifth. We found shifting to be on the notchy side, feeling like a wooden spoon rowing through a bag of pretzels."
Model-year-2003 ushered in big changes as the midsizer ditched the 626 moniker and became the Mazda6. In addition to its handsome sheetmetal, the 2003 Mazda6 entered the market with an all-new 2.3-liter I-4 rated at 160-hp, representing a huge jump from the 626's meager four-banger. Not surprisingly we chose the new 220-hp 3.0-liter V-6 (mated to a five-speed manual gearbox) for our long-term tester, which accelerated from 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds.
"Styling is crisp and appealing, power is right there when you kick the throttle. A nice alternative sedan for those looking for a dash of zip… While we're not sure how many German engineers lost sleep over the 6's arrival in the marketplace, it at least made the competition take a second look. So should you."
Better yet (for enthusiasts, anyway) was the arrival of the 2006 Mazdaspeed6, a high-performance variant highlighted by its 274-hp 2.3-liter turbo-four, which powered all four wheels and rocketed the sedan from 0-60 mph in about six seconds.
The second-gen Mazda6 arrived in model-year 2009 with evolutionary styling and new powertrains: a 2.5-liter I-4 rated at 170 hp and a 3.7-liter V-6 that churned out 272 hp. Unfortunately, the wagon never made it to our shores and a Mazdaspeed6 was never produced. Still, we considered the Mazda a strong contender it its class:
"If I needed and wanted a midsize front-drive sedan, this might be my pick among 'em. Looks good, nice cabin, not at all a dud to drive. Far better than the usual rental car fodder that permeates this class of car."
For now, the 2014 Mazda6 is only offered with one engine, a 2.5-liter I-4 that's good enough to power the sedan from 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds (with the six-speed auto). The six-speed manual in the Sport model may be more engaging to drive, but it's a bit slower to 60 mph at 7.8 seconds. Those seeking power may want to consider the upcoming 2.2-liter Skyactiv turbodiesel, expected to produce at least 280 lb-ft of torque.
"'Midsize sedan' and 'fun to drive' often seem like mutually exclusive terms, especially when trying to keep within a reasonable budget. Fortunately, there's the Mazda6, a sedan that proves to be a practical, affordable choice without giving its driver a severe case of boredom."

The scab could be covering a suture that was placed deeper and is coming to the surface and may need to be removed to expedite the healing process. It can also be granulation tissue that can be burned away with Silver nitrate or simply excised and allowed to heal.
I Will Be 4 Week Post Tummy Tuck and my Belly Button Has a Scab in Top That Doesn't Want to Fall Off. Is This Normal? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
I am not sure I can see a scab in the attached photo. If there is one in the naval, chances are they are sitting over an undissolved suture that has worked its way to the surface.
Call your surgeon to see whether he or she thinks you should be seen. Best wishes.
In the posted photo I see no scabbing. Best to return to your surgeon for advise and care of this issue.

Thank you for the picture. The belly button looks pretty good. I am not appreciating the scab. None-the-less, I would allow it to continue to mature and eventually it will fall off.
Dr. ES
At four weeks it's normal to still have scabbing. You need to make sure you ask those questions to your PS. He would be the best person to give you the best advice.
The photo does not show anything ominous. I would advise not worrying about it. It will fall off when it is ready, so don't pic.
Thank you from the question and the photo. In general there are two types of scabs (eschars), superficial and full thickness. Superficial scabs still have good blood supply to the tissue underneath and will heal without a wound. Deep scabs implies the entire thickness of the tissue has lost its blood supply and will require to heal as a wound from the inside out.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta
Web reference: http://www.aaaplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surgery/tummy-tuck.cfm
There is often some variability in healing times following a tummy tuck.
The circulation to the skin edges can be affected by this surgery and the healing of the incisions may lag. Fortunately, if there is some separation of the skin edges, as things heal, the scars tend to contract together. A wider scar early on will often heal to a narrow thinner line if given time.
The problem that you describe, sounds like a similar case. As the scab begins to separate, you should see an incision line that is healing well.

Dear Home-Ec 101,
This morning I stumbled out to the kitchen to discover whoever (I have my suspects on a short list) had done the dishes last left my good knife in a sink full of water overnight.
This is what it looks like now.
Can it be saved? Are these rust spots harmful? Will the rust ruin my knife blade? Will the culprit live to see another day?
Spotted in Spateford
Heather says:
While the blade looks a little worse for wear, it's only surface rust. Check out the comments of Why Is There Rust on My Stainless? If you want the lowdown on how rust can occur on stainless steel.
To fix your knife it's time to break out our good friend Bar Keepers Friend¹. Wet the blade of your knife, sprinkle with Bar Keepers Friend and use a soft cloth to buff until all of the rust has been removed. You need to do this as soon as possible. Stainless steel, like all steel, can rust, it just occurs at a much slower rate than other formulas. Removing the rust will prevent it the corrosion from spreading.
Once you've cleaned up the blade go ahead and sharpen your knife.
In all honesty, I'm more concerned about the handle which is not pictured.
If it your knife has a wooden handle, has the wood swollen and warped? How is the handle secured to the tang of the blade? Can you see the bolts that secure the blade to the handle? A wooden handle may split after soaking in water. Keep an eye on it. If the wood does split, a knife repair shop can replace the handle. You'll need to decide if it would be more cost effective to just replace the knife. If the handle is made of man-made materials you may be fine.
Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
¹There's no disclosure, they don't sponsor the site in any way, it's just a wonderful product I've used for years and recommend highly. You can find it near the abrasive cleaners at most big box (Target / Walmart style stores). It's in a gold can and very cheap.

Stylish elegance from historic coastal vineyards When you manage to get your tongue around it, Buitenverwachting (pronounced bay-ten-fur-vachk-ting) is Dutch for "beyond expectation." Today, however, locals lovingly refer to the farm as Bayten. Nestled at the base of the imposing Constantia Mountain, it's just a few miles from the azure blue of False Bay. The farm's history dates back to 1773, but in 1982, the property was extensively renovated and replanted, and now produces some of the Cape's most classical wines. Beyond expectation, indeed.
If you have drunk it, perhaps you can understand the love a winemaker develops for his wine. It is much the same emotion a man feels for a woman.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Matt Diaz hit a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning, Eric Hinske added a two-run homer and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on Tuesday night.
Yunel Escobar singled off David Herndon (0-2) to start the 11th and scored when Diaz ripped a liner to the gap in right-center. Mike Zagurski got the next two outs before Hinske connected.
Jesse Chavez (1-1) pitched a scoreless 10th to earn the win. Billy Wagner finished for his 18th save in 21 chances.
Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer for Philadelphia, which managed just three hits.
The two-time NL champion Phillies fell five games behind the Braves. They will try to win the series when 47-year-old Jamie Moyer goes for his 10th victory on Wednesday night.

Hands-on: Ben NanoNote Micronotebook
Small wonder: the microcomputer with a 3-inch screen, flip lid and keyboard seems fragile, but has a lot to it –– even if the screen is a bit too soft.
The Ben NanoNote keyboard has improved sensitivity in comparison to many other netbooks. The keys are not only more sturdy, but also reside under a protective clear plastic surface, which helps avoid wear and tear. Additionally, the lid's rigid hinges resist wobbling and the lid itself (which could be a bit heavy, as the device often tips backward) has a small clasp to store it securely. The mini-USB port has a decent rubber covering and the bottom of the device has some convenient, small rubber pads. The labels for the MicroSD port, mini-USB port and reset button are etched recessed in the case. In fact, the only noticeable flaw in our test model had a second Delete key in place of the Enter key, though the Enter function itself worked as intended.
Apart from the keyboard, the Ben NanoNote has no other input capabilities. Installing end-user software is somewhat tedious. The Ben NanoNote does have its own package manager and even a Gtk installed, but nothing other than a console will run. Much tinkering is required, but the project makes no bones about it. One problem, however, is the screen surface: trying to remove streaks from it for our photos resulted in some serious scratching.
The Ben has OpenWrt-based Linux with an ash console, BusyBox and the opkg package manager. Connecting the mini-USB cable provides USB network connectivity. The dmesg kernel ring buffer command that it registers as highspeed USB device with the cdc_ether (communications device class, or CDC) kernel module. The kernel version is 2.6.32 and the images are often newly built, which the NanoNotes changelog explains. The last version (image 2010-03-26) added Python, PHP 5, make, OpenVPN and tcpdump. The new image can be updated via software or hardware or USB boot. The latter is great for tinkerers, but more than tedious for end-users. For us, a couple of circuit board connections shorted out while removing the battery.
The USB connection is, by the way, the only functional network connection, as wireless doesn't seem to work. There are some instructions, however, on how to get SSH access from the Ben. The project also has a wiki that includes the hardware specs and software plans.
At US$ 99 plus shipping in the U.S., the user gets quite a bit for the money. Keep in mind that the device is still in its infancy: after all, the name Ben is derived from the Chinese word for "beginning." If looking for a gimmick for the well-versed or a hobby that fits in the pocket, take a closer look at the Ben NanoNote. It might grow on you.
Update: Sharism.cc, a NanoNote Shop outlet, tells Linux Magazine Online that it had already been aware of the soft screen surface problem and ordered other models with firmer screens for sale. It also replaced the second Delete button with the proper Enter button. There is also an image that just came out that boots graphically.

"What's it for"?
People keep calling this a "netbook", which gives the wrong impression (I think) of what kinds of things this device ought to be used for.
Personally, I think it's not so much a "feeble, tiny netbook" but a "much more flexible and powerful 'iPod Nano'".
This thing's just begging for a full-Linux media-handling environment. -

"Early Settlers of Rowley, Massachusetts," by George Brainard Blodgette, was originally published between 1882 and 1887 in the Essex Institute Historical Collections. From then until his death in 1918, Mr. Blodgette continued to add and fine tune his data. The work continued after his death and a massive revision to the original work was published by Amos Everett Jewett in 1933. It was reprinted by the New England History Press in 1981 and, again, by Picton Press in 1997. |

You've probably heard that exercise is good for your brain. Done regularly, it may even help protect you from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Now, research suggests that exercise and cycling, in particular, actually may reduce symptoms such as tremors, slowness of movement, and gait problems in those who already have Parkinson's disease.

In other words, it appears that people with Parkinson's, a chronic, progressive movement disorder that affects 1 million people in the U.S., can (literally) pedal away some of their symptoms!

Benefits for the Body

Research at the Cleveland Clinic found that riding a stationary bicycle improves symptoms in people with Parkinson's, and faster pedaling (or cadence) rates are associated with even more positive effects. In a 2009 study, when people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease pedaled at a rate that was 30 percent faster (at a cadence between 80 and 90 RPMs) than their preferred rate during sessions with a trainer three times a week for eight weeks, their scores on measures of motor function improved by 35 percent and their bimanual dexterity improved significantly, too; those who pedaled at their naturally preferred rate of 60 RPMs didn't gain such improvements.

Meanwhile, in a 2015 study at Rowan University in New Jersey, researchers found that after people with Parkinson's disease performed a single cycling session for 30 minutes with 15-second intervals at a high speed and a low resistance, their coordination and mobility improved while walking. The theory, according to the Cleveland Clinic researchers, is that faster pedaling requires more neuromuscular signaling between the muscles and the brain, which results in better reception of dopamine at the cellular level. (This is significant because a shortage of the brain chemical dopamine leads to the movement problems that are associated with Parkinson's, according to the National Institutes of Health.)

Benefits for the Brain

Cycling can also affect brain function, including cognitive task performance, directly. Another body of research found that executive function—including working memory, planning, reasoning, problem solving, and coordinating other cognitive abilities—improved in people with Parkinson's after cycling sessions.

While it's normal for people's performance to suffer when they try to do two or more things at the same time, people with Parkinson's usually experience a greater drop in their ability to carry out motor tasks while multitasking than their neurologically healthy peers do. But new research found that cycling can produce the opposite effect. A 2015 study from the University of Florida, Gainesville, found that people with Parkinson's increased their cycling speed while they were doing cognitive tasks even when they were doing two cognitive tasks at the same time. That alone was surprising but what was really eye opening is that those with Parkinson's performed better on the dual tasks while cycling, the opposite of what happened with their healthy peers.

The benefits of cycling are so impressive that the American Council on Exercise now offers Parkinson's-specific training programs for indoor cycling coaches. These programs are similar to traditional cycling classes but there's more of an emphasis on pace or RPMs with low to moderate resistance on the bike. While not a cure for Parkinson's, indoor cycling has been found to improve specific symptoms and perhaps slow progression of the disease—which is pretty amazing, considering the activity doesn't carry the side effects that medications do. Now that's pedal power!

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets moved lower on Tuesday after lackluster euro-zone inflation data strengthened the case for the European Central Bank to bring in new easing measures. Analysts noted, however, that the prospect of looser monetary policy has largely been priced into the market.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.18% fell 0.5% to close at 343.48 after posting a 0.2% advance on Monday.
Among notable decliners, shares of Davide Campari-Milano SpA CPR, +0.00% dropped 1.8% after Goldman Sachs cut the drinks maker to sell from neutral.
Tesco PLC TSCO, +0.74% TSCDF, -1.35% dropped 1% after market researcher Kantar said the U.K. retailer lost market share in the 12 weeks to May 25.
On a more upbeat note, shares of Wolseley PLC WOS, -1.15% climbed 1.6% after the distributor of heating and plumbing products reported strong growth in the U.S. and the Nordics during the third quarter.
'Abysmal' euro-zone inflation data
More broadly, euro-zone inflation data for May were the main event in Europe. The consumer-price index rose 0.5% last month, down from 0.7% in April and falling short of analysts expectations. Peter Dixon, strategist at Commerzbank in London, said the weak inflation reading reinforced the view that the ECB will cut interest rates at its meeting on Thursday and may even dump the deposit rate into the negative for the first time.
"Basically, markets had already factored this in," Dixon said. "We are two days from the meeting, so it doesn't make much sense to take a position at this stage."
Many economists also expect the ECB to launch a package of liquidity measures, possibly including a new round of long-term refinancing operations. That could boost bank lending and so spur growth and combat weak inflation levels.
With inflation now at 0.5%, growth in consumer prices has fallen back to the four-year low it also touched in March. James Ashley, chief European economist at RBC Capital Markets, called the May data "abysmal," noting the March weakness was largely due to distortions caused by the timing of Easter.
"This time, in our view, the 0.5% reading is a 'clean' reflection of the dearth of inflationary pressures," Ashley said in a note.
Mistake sends markets on wild ride
What's News: U.S. factories did expand in May according to twice corrected data by the Institute for Supply Management.
Eurostat released euro-zone unemployment data for April on Tuesday, showing the joblessness level in the currency union fell to 11.7% from 11.8% in March. Consensus was for a 11.8% reading.
Most European equity benchmarks closed in the red, with Germany's DAX 30 index DAX, +0.20% down 0.3% to 9,919.74 and France's CAC 40 index PX1, -0.24% giving up 0.3% to 4,503.69. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.05% lost 0.4% to 6,836.30.
U.S. stocks also traded lower, with the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.08% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.29% struggling to build on three straight days of gains.
