Now that we are in the holiday period, many of us will take our motorcycles for spins in the countryside and end up somewhere at a restaurant for a bite to eat. Life is pleasant; a great motorcycle ride, sunshine, friends and good food, what more do you wish for?
There is however one thing you need to take into account when ordering food, and let me tell you I would be the last person to caution you on any food, but there you go; you need to take a few things into account. This is even more recommended if you live in an area where authorized alcohol levels are very low, and the police force unforgiving.
For example a fruit salad is a nice dessert to eat during the summer. It is light and full of vitamins. But watch out! Often fruit salads have been marinating for hours in wine. Even if the fruit have been sitting in red wine overnight, still 70% or so of the alcohol levels remain. Not enough to make your drunk, but enough to get you into trouble with the local cops.
Some main dishes and desserts (like delicious crepes suzettes) are "flambe", in other words, alcohol poured over and then set on fire. Despite that the alcohol is set on fire, a good 75% will remain.
Some dishes are cooked with alcohol. They can stew for hours, but often the alcohol level remains high. High enough for a nasty surprise if you get stopped on your way home.
Even those nice chocolate & rum "beans" have alcohol in them, and if you eat a few, your alcohol blood level will rise.
So you have been warned. A nice meal with some biker friends can be ruined if you get stopped by the police and they decide to check to see if you have been drinking. You may think you are not drunk because you wisely did not drink any beer or wine, just water, but your food had alcohol in it. So you go to jail, and you do not receive $200.

A bill introduced in the state Senate Tuesday would make Pennsylvania the 21st state to legalize the use of medical marijuana.
But don�t count on the bill becoming law anytime soon.
Gov. Tom Corbett has refused to sign any such bill until the federal Food and Drug Administration approves cannabis for medical purposes.
Nevertheless, the bill�s bipartisan sponsors � state Sens. Daylin Leach, D-17, of Upper Merion, and Mike Folmer, R-48, of Lebanon County � are lobbying hard for its passage.
Leach has launched a social media campaign highlighting children who could benefit from medical marijuana. Folmer plans to hold a public hearing designed to educate his fellow legislators on the benefits of medical cannabis.
Medical marijuana, the senators argue, particularly would benefit children who suffer from severe epilepsy. They cited accounts of medical cannabis reducing seizures among children with epilepsy. The drug would be prescribed in liquid drops.
�This is a drug we need to get to these kids,� Leach said. �If it were a derivative of a yucca plant, it would be in every CVS in the country.�
Leach said the drugs will not contain any tetrahydrocannabinol � the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. The drugs only will include the non-psychoactive compound cannabidiol.
�We can�t even get you high,� Leach said. �You�re not smoking it. You put it under the tongue. It�s a no-brainer.�
Leach has long supported legalizing marijuana for medical use, but this marks the first time he has had bipartisan support. He and Folmer initially announced their intentions last November.
�This is a people issue,� Folmer said. �This is a health issue. This is about making sure people have every weapon in their arsenal to do battle with their disease.�
Folmer, who is recovering from non-Hodgkin�s lymphoma, said government should not stand in the way of people�s ability to combat diseases. He said it is hypocritical to permit doctors to prescribe drugs like Oxycodone, but not medical cannabis.
�I still think there is a mass of misinformation on what my bill is trying to do,� Folmer said. �My bill isn�t about rolling up a marijuana cigarette for a child to smoke.�
Leach also supports legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes, but said that is a battle for another day.
Folmer declined to discuss his views on recreational marijuana, saying the debate clouds the push for legalizing medical marijuana. Only Colorado and Washington have legalized recreational marijuana.
Despite the efforts of Folmer and Leach, the bill is unlikely to be brought to the Senate floor for a vote.
�We don�t have any plans to consider it in 2014,� said Erik Arneson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Dominic F. Pileggi, R-9th Dist., of Chester.
Corbett has said he will not sign any bill legalizing medical marijuana, respecting FDA regulations. The FDA labels marijuana as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, a status that restricts the clinical trials necessary for approving drugs.
The bill has not yet been assigned to a committee.
Leach is among at least four Democrats running for the 13th U.S. Congressional District seat. His competition includes physician Dr. Valerie Arkoosh, former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Margolies and state Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-170, of Philadelphia.

Taylored Expressions December Sneaks – Day 1
Good morning and welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for our December Release! I can't believe how quickly the months have been flying by, but I've been so excited to show you the new products in our December release that you won't hear me complaining! We're celebrating this month with a Petite-a-Palooza as we introduce A DOZEN new Petite stamp sets from every stamp collection available at TE! In addition, we're introducing a Petite Storage Box, 4 new calendar products, and 4 new card kits. This release has everything you need for gift making and gift giving in the upcoming year!
If you want to be 'in the know' for this release, then keep on reading!
- Tuesday is Calendar Day as we showcase FOUR new TE calendar products – all perfect for gift giving!
- Wednesday is Card Kit Day as we introduce FOUR new Taylored Card Kits available just in time for the holidays!
- All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, December 1st at 8 am PST. You'll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.
- Join us as a fan on Facebook for an early peek at the stamp sets, as well as a SPECIAL Facebook GIVEAWAY, on Wednesday night beginning at approximately 6 pm PST.
- PETITE-A-PALOOZA SPECIAL: Purchase any 6 Petite Stamp Sets (new or old) through Friday December 9th and receive a Petite Storage Case absolutely FREE!
If you paid attention to the release points above then you already know that today is calendar day! Each of the Baker's Dozen is featuring one of our new Petite stamp sets along with a calendar product. Today we're sharing new stamps from the Whimsical Wishes & Moka Collections illustrated by Nancy McKinney. The first project I want to share uses our new Desktop Calendar Set:
Our Desktop Calendar Set comes with both the calendar case and the monthly calendar inserts ready for you to personalize with your choice of stamps! We're filling in our Seasonal Wreath series with 3 new wreath stamps this release so now you'll have a full-year of wreaths to fill a calendar. I decided to use all of the wreaths to create 12 unique calendar inserts:
Here are the wreaths that I used for each month:
January: Snowflake Wreath (NEW)
February: Wreath of Love
March: Wreath of Luck
April: Spring Wreath
May: Strawberry Wreath (NEW)
June: Summer Wreath
July: 4th of July Wreath
August: Sunflower Wreath
September: Apple Wreath (NEW)
October: Spooky Wreath
November: Autumn Wreath
December: Wreaths of Joy
The second project I have to share uses our new Mini Tear-Off Calendar and magnetic acrylic base. I've always wanted to have these cute mini calendars without having to download and print them and now we're bringing that to reality! Each little cutie measures 2 1/4″ x 3″ and the possibilities are endless. I decided to start January off with the sweet new Moka Kristie!
But wait, there's more! This next calendar product is even more exciting because it helps keep me organized (which I need a lot of help with these days!). This is the Perpetual Occasions Calendar! Decorate it once and use it for a lifetime to help you keep track of birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Just decorate the small insert that separates each month and hang the calendar on the wall. Wouldn't these make a great gift too!?
I decided to do a different Bible verse for each month so not only will it remind me of upcoming birthdays, but it will be a constant reminder of some of my favorite Scripture. January features a verse from the Rest & Renewal stamp set and February features a new Petite set that we're introducing during this release… I'll be sharing more about that tomorrow!
And last, but certainly not least, is a long-time customer favorite…our 6×6 calendar download and Frame Your Imagination Stand. While this isn't a new product, some of the Baker's Dozen will be sharing new and inspiring ideas for creating a fabulous calendar using this stand. Here's a project that I made last year and you can find all of the months of my calendar HERE:
Whew… that was a long post, but I hope you see some new ideas that inspire you to start creating for the new year! The rest of the Baker's Dozen also has some fabulous sneak peeks to share with you today so check 'em out:

Lady Gaga gave up smoking marijuana while recording her new album Artpop.
The Poker Face hitmaker has been open about her use of the drug in the past, even declaring her love for cannabis as she lit a cigarette onstage in the Netherlands in September (12).
However, Gaga chose to shun pop as she worked on her upcoming release.
In an online chat on her Little Monsters social networking site, she revealed, "No weed on ARTPOP. No. Weed in the bathtub though. Hahaha."
The singer also told fans to expect edgy music on her new record, adding: "ARTPOP is very risky. If you're not taking a risk you're not breaking any boundaries."

I don't think I will ever understand the FICO scoring model. I have been back and forth around the mid to lower 600's for the last year or two. This is mostly due to high util, a couple of 30 day lates in 2010 and credit inquiries.
I recently applied for a line of credit at the Firestone dealer to purchase a new set of tires, and today that reported as a new tradeline with a $1000 limit, and 0 bal. As a result the score dropped from 615 to 559.. Does that sound normal? Seems like a big hit for just one new account..
You score drop from the new account reporting is normal IMO. Give it 6 months and your score should recover.
That's about normal, Recently, I had 5 credit lines reporting a balance and I dropped 20 points. I am aware that my score will re-bound after the payments report next month. (I used some credit cards that are usually sock drawered so they would not get closed).
A 56 pt drop doesn't seem normal, IMO. 20-25 seems normal, but I would pull your report to see what other changes are on there that could have caused a big drop (e.g. increased util, look to see if Firestone increased util, dropped accounts, added accounts, added lates, etc.).
+1 It might have been a combination of HP, AAoA and Util. But HP alone and AAoA shouldn't have dropped it that far.
I pulled my score power report and compared it with the one from just 3 days ago.
On the second page under whats hurting your score, "consumer finance account" has been added, which was not there before. Even though that account has been reporting on EQ since 7/2011. The only other difference is the new tradeline with a zero balance, otherwise no changes to my credit report.
So I have no clue why the consumer finance account just now shows up on the "understanding your FICO score" page, when it was not there before.
It is what it is I guess. Just a couple days ago I contacted my credit union and arranged to borrow 10k to satisfy that high interest consumer finance loan, so hopefully once that is reporting paid I will see some kind of score increase. The other obvious course of action is to significantly pay down my credit card debt. Which according to the score simulator, would bring me up to the high 600's, low 700's. But that will take some time.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far.
Sounds like you were rebucketed if you had a change in your pos/neg items that help/hurt your FICO. However, the score change seems too high. I once lost over 50 when adding 3 new TLs, but I also had been app free for over a year and that was 3 new TLs.
I'd zero in on the balances and util changes.
The CFL comment is relatively benign. It appears after the presence of a payday loan or a finance account like the former CitiFinancial (or whatever they are now), Wells Fargo Financial, and others, including certain furniture-like accounts. Even if paid off, the comment remains for as long as it reports. In most cases the length of history helps more than the comment hurts and usually removing the account will result in the demise of the comment but a drop in score. If the history is needed, let it be.
Is the Firestone account a credit card ? Did Firestone offyou special financing with this account on the tires? Is the firesotne account reporting as the consumer finance company?
The Firestone acct is a credit card, revolving acct. And is reporting as such. That is the only change to my entire report in the last couple of months aside from a few inquuiries. And it resulted in an almost 60 point drop.
I opened 2 credit card and 1 auto loan. Score is 588 and 588. I don't know too lol

For those of you unfamiliar with net security, this will help you and protect you. The wonderful Swedish government setup and maintains www.iana.org, which is a website dedicated to brutalization of computers. These are legal hackers who go out on the net and spy on computers, networks, and anything they can. First off, let me warn all who read this: DO NOT VISIT THEIR WEBSITE!!! They put cookies on your computer and track you and any data you put out or let in. Now: Their methods...
1) cookies--they use these to monitor your computer and explore throughout your system. To delete these for Windows, delete the stuff in your temp folder and temp internet folder. If you have IE just use "delete cookies" under tools, internet options. Or, you can get a program such as Spy Detect and have it "munch web cookies"
2) probes and scans--they do constant probes and scans of the internet to find computers that are weak security wise, and will exploit these weaknesses and then monitor your system and look through your harddrive. To defeat this you need a firewall of some sort and have to block ALL traffic from the ip addresses at 10.0.0.1-10.255.255.255 as these are the addresses reserved by iana.
3) DoS--Iana monitors as much internet activity as they can and if they even ssuspect packets that you are sending out or think that you are going too fast for your own good as you speed along through the web, they will DoS your system. Come on now, Iana! DoS is used as a last resort by hackers and even they hate doing it, but you guys do it so often and don't care! They use mostly ICMP DoS attacks such as ICMP echo storms, ICMP floods, and ICMP empty echo requests to slow down or shutdown your connection. A firewall is neccessary to block this.
Now, if you wish to respond to these attacks by Iana, you must spoof your IP and spoof it well. Should IANA be legally allowed to launch such attacks and do such activities? Well, let me put it this way: "Dedicated to preserving the central coordinating functions of the global Internet for the public good." That is their moto...need I say more?
This was a mix of tutorial and informational, so I stuck it in the tutorial.... Hope no one minds, but if you do, it's a little late now to move it, eh?

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A media colleague says that gunmen in Somalia have shot and killed a female Somali journalist.
Abdikarim Ahmed Bulhan, the director of Abudwak radio in central Somalia, said Monday that two men armed with pistols killed 25-year-old Rahmo Abdulqadir Farah in Mogadishu on Sunday evening. Her murder brings the number of journalists killed in Somalia this year to three.
Somalia is one of the world's most dangerous places for journalist to operate. Last year 18 media workers were killed, mostly in targeted murders.
Bulhan called it an "outrageous killing" of an aspiring journalist. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the killing.
The government has promised to take action against those who kill journalists, but so far no arrests have yet been made for any of the journalist deaths in 2012.


text: In many subjects with autism, disruption of a gene is thought to have contributed strongly to the development of the disorder. However, genetic research has identified that the same gene is not involved in every case of autism. Rather, many distinct genes have been identified which contribute to the development of autism when they are inactivated. The actual mechanism by which any given inactivated gene leads to autism is not known, but the genes that have been implicated appear on the surface to be quite different from each other, as some are regulators of other genes, some are involved in adhesion of nerve cells to each other and to other cells, some are directly involved in the structures that permit electrical transmission between nerve cells, and still others have no known function. The differences between these autism genes might mean that there are many "autisms" with each one having a mechanism that has a different starting point (a different gene), a different process (the biochemical and developmental consequences of the gene) and a common end-point (autism) and therefore each one would require a different mechanism-based treatment. However, it is more likely that the different genetic triggers lead ultimately to consequences that converge on the same shared processes that produce autism. If true, this would mean that autism subjects could be grouped based upon which shared process is involved in their case and target treatments to the limited number of shared processes that are identified across all autism subjects. This hypothesis will be tested by examining the consequences of inactivating individual autism genes in cultured human immature nerve cell precursors and allowing them to differentiate into mature nerve cells. As they do, their gene expression profiles will be monitored, measuring the level of expression of all of their genes using a powerful sequence-based technology that determines whether inactivation of different autism genes leads to overlapping sets of shared changes in gene expression. This approach promises to allow the clustering of autism genes based upon which shared process that they trigger and thereby permit the development and testing of treatments applicable to a broader array of autism subjects than would be possible if each gene necessitated its own individual treatment.

A Celebration of Family History
Worth the price of registration for the National Genealogical Society (NGS) conference was Thursday's An Evening Celebration of Family History. Approximately 20,000 spectators were treated to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and author David McCullough
Recapping the evening would not do it justice, but let's just say, the McCloud Bagpipe group featuring Amazing Grace with that large Choir and Orchestra decked in red robes for the women and red tie suited men, was absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Of course it having ceiling high organ pipes in the background of the LDS Conference Center added to the drama-filled evening. The McCloud Bagpipe group was introduced through a hilarious film featuring the process of embracing one's Scottish heritage through the eyes of a seven year old who announced to his family that he wanted to learn to play the bagpipe. If you're curious as to how the youngster fared, let me tell you that young McCloud, now a father, plays a mean bagpipe as he lead his group in blowing Amazing Grace.
The two hour festivities were sprinkled with short genealogical films threading the theme of "Woven Generations." The evening was co-sponsored by FamilySearch and the Utah Genealogical Association in association with the NGS Conference. To set the tone, this short film used the metaphor of a ball of yard as a tie to our past; followed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra which wooed us with Wayfarin Stranger.
We were treated with short genealogical films. Letters of Estonia featured a a woman researching her war hero Great-Grandfather; and through her search she found her long-lost Estonian relatives. There was also a heart-breaking story of a couple who was infected with leprosy and therefore had to adopt out each of their six children before the age of one years old. In this film the descendant took us on an emotional search for Emma's tombstone, Searching for Emma, on the island Molokai in Hawaii during the 1800's.
The keynote speaker, David McCullough, was not overshadowed by the captivating choir and orchestra and riveting short films. On the contrary, he was.... well....David McCullough! Full of historical tidbits intertwined with life's lessons. His books, John Adams and 1776, should be in all historian's personal libraries. Of course, you already know he is a walking encyclopedia and a prolific writer, but he is also an entertaining speaker, and easily linked his closing remarks to a short pride-filled film of Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory narrated by the descendant of Julia Howe. This film honored the roll and support provided by women during the civil war, and with the goose bump deliverance of Martin Luther King, Jr's last speech, it was perfect way to express the immortality of the written word.
With precision and not missing a beat the Choir and Orchestra's tear provoking rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic closed the evening's performance with a well-earned standing ovation.
In addition to those mentioned above, Welcome was delivered by Jay Verkler, CEO Family Search; Invocation by Reverend France A Davis, Calvary Baptist Church; and a wonder presentation delived by Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, LDS.

Nice recap of a very moving and motivational program! I feel truly blessed to have been able to attend.ReplyDelete
One correction: The story about a woman researching her war hero Great-Grandfather and finding her long-lost Estonian relatives was entitled "Letters from Estonia".
A separate film was entitled "Finding Emma", which told the heart-tugging story you have described which took place in the leprosy colony located on the island of Molokai, Hawaii during the 1800's.
One of my favorite quotes of the evening came from Mr. McCullough who wisely and wittily suggested that if one wishes to achieve 'immortality' one should "keep a diary, and then when you see that the curtains are going to come down, give it to the Library of Congress, and you'll be quoted for years to come - because it will be the only diary!"
Wow! I haven't become a conference-goer yet, but this sure makes me wish I'd been there! I wonder if the sessions/performances/speakers will be made available electronically? Do you know?ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a beautiful description of a beautiful evening!ReplyDelete
Thanks all for commenting.ReplyDelete
I was just leaving a comment about David McCullough at Randy Seaver's blog. I'm so glad to "attend a conference" vicariously through all the genea-bloggers. My sister lives near David McCullough on Martha's Vineyard. Before he became very famous my dad used to bring his books to the island when he visited my sister, and then walk down to David's to have them autographed. I hope to inherit those books someday! He was always a nice guy, and he must be a wonderful speaker. I never heard him speak formerly, just chat in the back yard when I was a kid.ReplyDelete

Last Night on Late Night: Funniest Moments of Al Pacino (and Kevin Spacey!) on Letterman
Plus: Jennifer Lawrence was drunk, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Last night on the Late Show, Al Pacino was absolutely, hilariously off his rockers — to such an extent that the cue card guy felt the need to direct David Letterman to "get him off," but Pacino didn't let that slide. Also cue in Kevin Spacey's surprise visit for the sole sake of impersonating his old friend, and Letterman's noises of defeated exasperation, and the show was gold. Plus: A drunk Jennifer Lawrence disclosed that she will be ad-libbing an Oscar acceptance speech, if given the chance; and Conan featured an entirely crowd-sourced show with cameos from Joel McHale, Nick Offerman, and origami Will Ferrell. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

Wellspring Church of Skippack (Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA)
Skippack Mennonite Church in Skippack Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is affiliated with the Franconia Mennonite Conference. Skippack was settled in 1702 by Johannes Custer, Claus Jansen, Jan Krey, and others. In 1717 the wealthy Matthias van Bebber, Mennonite owner of the 6,000-acre tract on which the Mennonites settled, conveyed 100 acres to 7 Mennonite trustees named Sellen, Jansen, Ziegler, Custer, and three Kolb brothers, Henry, Martin, and Jacob. A meetinghouse was built here circa 1725, replaced in 1844 by a new one.
Preacher Martin Kolb had settled at Skippack by 1709, and Jacob Godshalk, who functioned as a bishop, arrived three or four years later. Henry Kolb also served as a preacher. Jacob Kolb was probably a deacon, for he was treasurer of the church funds. Claes Jansen and Michael Ziegler were preachers. The congregation has kept an alms book since 1738, which is a valuable source of information because the ordained men audited and signed it annually. Perhaps the ablest minister in the history of the congregation was Bishop Henry Hunsicker (1752-1836), ordained preacher 1781/82 and bishop soon thereafter. His son John Hunsicker (1773-1847) was the senior bishop in the Franconia Conference in the division of 1847 and with Oberholtzer withdrew from the conference. John Hunsicker's younger brother, Abraham Hunsicker (1793-1872), was ordained as preacher at Skippack on New Year's Day of 1847. He followed Oberholtzer in the division. In 1848 he and his son Henry A. Hunsicker established Freeland Seminary at Collegeville, Pennsylvania, (now Ursinus College). (See also Hunsicker.) The history of the portion of the congregation which withdrew from the Franconia Conference in 1847 is given under Lower Skippack. The portion which remained with the conference built a new meetinghouse one and one-fourth miles northwest of the old meetinghouse site in 1848. This building was replaced in 1950. The most prominent minister since 1847 was Jacob B. Mensch (1835-1912), preacher from 1867, antiquarian and unofficial secretary of the Franconia Conference from 1880. In 1958 the ministers were Jacob T. Landes and Daniel Reinford; the membership was 102.

After last weekend's orgy of tools, woodworking and back-breaking workbench moving at Woodworking in America, I decided to take a break today and buy some tools and old woodworking books , and move a huge metallic garden bench. This morning I woke up at 5 a.m. and headed down to Louisville, Ky., with Megan Fitzpatrick and friend Phil Hirz to attend the annual meeting of the Mid-West Tool Collectors Association. This is the morning of the tailgate selling in the conference center's parking lot. The good news was that Patrick Leach didn't have a table in the parking lot. The bad news was that about 30 other nearly-as-dangerous people did. Those of you who know me are aware that I've been selling off a lot of the extra tools I have, so as we pulled into the parking lot, I was determined to stick to the plan: Talk to all the friends and people I missed at Woodworking in America and pick up a couple tools on behalf of some friends. The plan did not go well. First there was the portable Lodi Manufacturing saw vise that Carl Bilderback had. I've never seen one like it, and you can sharpen a 29″ saw in the vise without having to shift it. It is so simple, compact and awesome it's a wonder that no one has copied it. We need a saw vise at the magazine in the shop, so I decided to get it. Then I found a few Christmas presents that were dirt cheap (only $15 total). And I picked up a bunch of books on tools and bench work , nothing wrong with that, right? Then my resolve failed me. I saw a jeweler's fretsaw that I just had to own — I'll just sell my old one that is tuned up to a crazy high level. I resisted the 24″ Starrett combination square (despite Phil and Megan's urgings). Then I saw something that I just had to have — an oilstone in a beautiful box that is sculpted with an ogee base and a cove around its lid. As I handed the $25 over to the nice woman, all that was going through my head was, "You idiot, you gave up oilstones about 12 years ago." Phil bought a few Fray braces. Megan bought a couple chisels , a Buck and a Greenlee. But I outspent them both. The highlight of the morning was when Patrick Leach showed off his new garden bench made from wrenches. We pulled it out of the back of his truck. The bench was made for him by fellow collector Emery Goad of Wichita, Kan. The thing is gorgeous, comfortable and heavy. I want one. And then I ran into Ed Hobbs. Those of you who know who Ed is also know that I am now in huge trouble. No money changed hands , yet. Please excuse me now. I need to go sell some more plasma and see if Adam Cherubini will buy some of my hair to make finishing brushes. – Christopher Schwarz
If you know Patrick, you'll know why it could be (nearly) nothing but Guinness.
Chris, I gotta tell you that I put my waterstones aside and ordered a set of India stones last week. I have a set of crank neck Bucks that are seriously out of flat and I needed something coarse that would do the job. I was getting dubbing using coarse sandpaper. Correcting that and getting to flatness has been a job, but it's coming along. They'll be followed by soft and hard Arkansas and a Belgian Coticule I picked out of a bucket for $5 at PATINA a couple of years ago.
Besides, when I re-enact an 1812-era joiner I use Arkansas stones. My usual sequence in the shop has included waterstones and ends with microabrasive paper, so I don't have the best of all worlds, I think I have all worlds, period.
A lot of words to say don't feel bad about picking up oilstones that you like. You WILL be using them at some point in the future.
I've been studying various saw vise plans in anticipation of building one, but most are too short, ie.
less than 26 inches. Can you share some details of the Lodi vise?
That bench would probably cause a wrench collector to retch.
Wow, 2 people beat me to the Guinness comment. Too funny.
Chris, can we get some pics of this awesome saw vise?
I noticed the Guinness right away too. Funny how your eyes and brain pick up on deliciousness.
That is a Guinness beer in that wrench bench isn't it? I can tell how it lures me in away from everything that i love about woodworking. Ahhhhhhh, beer 🙂
Seattle, WA
Chris – I can tell that Patrick was not set up…the two transitionals in the first pic would be ablaze.

Though sometimes boldly captivating, the movie is also occasionally pretentious and lurid simply for shock value.
Fur starts stylishly, and confidently, but the film dwindles down to a chamber piece in a claustrophobic chamber. Enter at your own risk.
Fur is a misfire by the talented people who four years ago gave us "Secretary," whose tongue-in-cheek approach might have served this film better, taking the edge off much of its pretensions.
The result is a revelatory, challenging and deeply affecting portrait, anchored by what may be Kidman's most profoundly moving performance to date.
See all Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 16+
Biopic is smart, but leaves questions unanswered.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this mature biopic about edgy photographer Diane Arbus isn't for kids. It includes explicit nudity (body parts and full frontal at a nudist community), and some sexual activity. The subjects of Arbus' photos include unusual fringe characters like sex workers, dwarfs, giants, twins, and nudists. Characters discuss adultery, depression, sexual desire, and suicide (one character kills himself); children worry about their mother's absences from home. Characters smoke cigarettes and do plenty of social drinking. Language includes at least five uses of "f--k."
Messages: Diane's attraction to Lionel leads to an adulterous night and rejection of her family.
Violence: A character commits suicide.
Sex: Pervasive metaphorical and explicit sexuality; full-frontal nudity in first and last scenes (set in a nudist camp); repressed/early Diane reveals her bra on her porch, then worries about it; several scenes show Diane and her husband in bed. (They're intimate but strained: When she licks his wrist, he's embarrassed and pulls away.) Sex between Diane and Lionel (in bed, and also, more allusively, as she shaves off his fur); Lionel asks Diane provocative questions about her desires; mild S&M scene (couple dances, in costume); sensual visuals of fur and some objects (camera, razor).
Language: Some language: "f--k" (5+), "t-ts," "Jesus Christ!"
Consumerism: Vintage magazine covers (Vogue, Harper's Bazaar); 1950s products (Chock Full o' Nuts coffee, Sunbeam bread) -- all used to establish scene/era, rather than for promotion, per se.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Plenty of social drinking (martinis, wine, scotch); cigarette smoking.

Howard Hanna acquires Morgan-Collins
Pittsburgh-based Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, the top real estate company in Pennsylvania and Ohio, has cashed in on its promise to expand its Central Pennsylvania footprint.
And it's doing so in a big way.
The company today announced the acquisition of Spring Garden Township-based Morgan-Collins Inc., one of the largest real estate firms in York County.
"It was always the right company," CEO Howard "Hoddy" Hanna III said of Morgan-Collins and his company's effort to grow its midstate presence.
Howard Hanna has been looking to expand into Lancaster and York counties. It has five offices in Cumberland and Dauphin counties. Those offices closed 741 transactions valued at $136.9 million in 2012.
Morgan-Collins closed about 1,200 transactions last year.
"It's a real good company," Hanna said.
Talks occurred for about a year, he said. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, though Hanna said his company was paying between six and seven times EBITDA. EBITDA stands for earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The York County company's 2011 revenue was about $4.5 million, according to Business Journal records. That is the latest data available.
Morgan-Collins owner and broker Andy Collins will remain with the company as senior vice president and associate broker.
The Morgan family started the company in the late 1940s and sold it in 1990 to Collins.
"It was important to Joe and Jim Morgan that the firm remain a family-owned business," Collins said in a statement. "And I'm carrying on that tradition. The family-owned Hanna company is the perfect fit for my agents and our clients. I am looking forward to being able to provide all the extras a big firm offers while still offering that personal touch."
Howard Hanna also will retain the firm's 55 to 60 employees, Hanna said, plus it plans to add 15 people.
Hanna said he plans to add two more offices, which would bring the Morgan-Collins footprint to four offices. Morgan-Collins also has an office in the Shrewsbury area.
Hanna is scouting Adams County and northern Maryland for new locations. Each would be full-service locations by 2014 with the addition of mortgage, title and insurance services.
Part of Howard Hanna's $250 million expansion plan, announced earlier this year, includes moving into Maryland and other major markets along the East Coast. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are known targets.
In addition to Ohio and Pennsylvania, Howard Hanna also operates in Michigan, New York and West Virginia, where it has 150 offices.
Lancaster County could be in the mix for next year, Hanna added: "We're very aggressive and energetic about that whole part of the state. We need a presence (in Lancaster County)."
That could mean another acquisition or an office developed via organic means.
With the acquisition, Howard Hanna is on track to hit $8 billion in closed-sale volume this year. It is the fourth-largest real estate company in the country.

Purple Peony
Added Oct 16, 2012
Woodburn, Oregon...
The fabulous Colette Peony Pattern made up from a nice warm thrifted fabric that coordinates perfectly with purple tights. More on my blog
Material Notes
Acrylic? Rayon? It was thrifted, so there's no content tag. It's fuzzy like a blanket, but it had a selvage and some raw edges, so I assume it was meant to be fabric.

Madea's Witness Protection
Tyler Perry's most famous character Madea is actually the least obnoxious part of his latest movie, Madea's Witness Protection. Given that Madea is Perry in drag as an overweight gray-haired woman who delights in threatening people with violence, this is pretty amazing.
The Madea movies aren't supposed to be nuanced character portraits, they're Teachable Moments. In this case, it's about shady businesses and Ponzi schemes Bernie Madoff is even referred to by name. Although there's no doubt we're all feeling the repercussions of the 2008 financial crisis and will be for some time to come, Madoff isn't exactly breaking news any more. Perry also wants to have his cake and eat it too, showing the greed and corruption of big companies while also offering at least one of the people at fault both the benefit of the doubt and a shot at redemption. None of it adds up, and half of the movie is taken up by a tiresome group of snobs who deserve their comeuppance at the hands of Madea.
The Needlemans are a rich, white family whose patriarch is inadvertently involved in a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme. The mob is somehow involved don't ask so the Atlanta ADA Brian (also Perry) puts them up at the safest place he knows: his Aunt Madea's house. George, played by Eugene Levy's eyebrows, is such a schmuck that he had no idea he was being set up to take the fall or that the company he worked for was stealing millions of dollars from charities. Denise Richards plays his typically brittle and much younger housewife Kate, whose main interests seem to be yoga ("yoda" in Madea-speak) and carbs. They both let George's daughter Cindy (Danielle Campbell) walk all over them, and George and Kate's son Howie (Devan Leos) is the subject of many "fat loser"-type jokes. George's mother Barbara (Doris Roberts) is either senile or pretending to be or is just pilled out from all the Valium they give her; she's also a horny old broad that keeps making googly eyes at Joe (Madea's brother, Brian's father, and, of course Tyler Perry in old man drag). Cindy is so awful that it's a relief when Madea lets loose on her, even though it's a truly cruel prank that sets the girl straight. They are all totally boring and incredibly annoying, so much so that any time Madea or even Joe appears, it's a relief.
The other half of the Teachable Moments equation is Jake, played by Romeo Miller. Jake was living a life of crime until he got straightened out, and then his dad, a sickly preacher played by John Amos, trusted him with all the money to pay off the church mortgage. Unfortunately, he invested it in a company in New York that's no longer answering their phones. Jake tries to hold up Madea for cash after she leaves the grocery store. She gives him a sound talking-to, the gist of which is he should get a job and stop trying to rob old ladies who have worked hard all their life. (True!) However, he's just trying to raise the money he lost investing in a company in New York, the money his sick father gave him to pay off the church mortgage that's now lost. In case you can't follow the dots, that would be the company George worked for that lost all the money for his dad's church, leading him to a life of robbing little old ladies for pocket change. Besides the tragic waste of Amos, Marla Gibbs plays a nosy neighbor for about half a minute.
Perry's writing shows a disturbing amount of cynicism, if not downright meanness, for a family movie. When Kate and Madea have a heart-to-heart about Cindy, Kate confesses that Cindy thinks her dad cheated on her mom with Kate. Kate says, "What kind of person do you think I am?" And Madea purrs, sotto voice, "A woman." There are also plenty of jokes about Madea's previous life as, among other things, a stripper, especially in conjunction with her weight. (She had to use a telephone pole when she danced. Get it? 'Cause she's fat! Hah!) It's unfortunate that the spoof reel that plays after the credits is more entertaining than the movie itself -- even if those jokes include Charlie Sheen grabbing Madea's boobs, Madea/Perry pranking room service about the bidet, and Eugene Levy making prison rape jokes.
I was one of the few people who were impressed by Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls, a well-intentioned attempt to bring the feminist experimental play by Ntozake Shange to life. That didn't compel me to seek out any of his other movies, though, so Madea's Witness Protection was my first foray into the franchise that's made him a very, very rich and powerful man. The weirdness of Perry's vision is well-documented, and he has fans across the board. Unfortunately, I'm just one of them.


text: USPS reports quarterly loss of $1.9 billion Published on May 13, 2013. Washington, D.C.—The U.S. Postal Service reported a net loss of $591 million for March and $1.9 billion for its second fiscal quarter as mail volume continued to decline. Overall volume declined 2% from March 2012, to 13.3 billion pieces. First-class mail, the Postal Service' most profitable segment, was off by 4.5%, with periodicals down 6.2% and package services down 8.1%. Standard mail, used most often for advertising, was one bright spot, with volume up 0.5% and revenue up 2.1%. The Postal Service continued to cut expenses, down 3.9% from the same period last year, to regain solvency, but it faces political opposition to going further. Last month, Congress blocked its plan to eliminate most Saturday mail delivery. Without regulatory relief, the Postal Service is expected to default once again on $5.6 billion due in September to prefund employee healthcare benefits. Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Two injured in Highway 99W crash north of Amity
AMITY — One person was seriously injured Tuesday morning when the box truck he was driving rear-ended a pickup north of Amity on Highway 99W at Whiteson Road.

Stockhoff was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Willamette Valley Medical Center with minor injuries.
An Oregon Department of Transportation crew rerouted traffic for about an hour before the highway reopened.

I, for example, am not hummus.
According to reputable sources (Wikipedia and Google), hummus is made of chickpeas and ground sesame seeds, with olive oil, lemon, and garlic tossed in for good measure.
And yet, people constantly hummusize non-chickpea, non-sesame seed foods. Look, friends: just because it's mashed doesn't make it hummus.
Mashed potatoes = not hummus.
Shmushed up edamame? Also not hummus.
White beans and herbs obliterated in a food processor, oil drizzled in through the feed tube the way you would with hummus? It's delicious, yes. Still not hummus.
So this dip that I've created... guess what? Not hummus. And that's okay! It really is! If you want to call it Black Bean Hummus, go ahead: you wouldn't be the first (for shame). But being second doesn't make you right. Youch!
So go ahead and grab some dried black beans. They'll cost you, I don't know, a dollar? Two? And don't bother buying tahini BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED IT. Olive oil, a single can of chipotle (there's always someone who reads 2 to 4 chipotles as 2 to 4 cans of chipotle; let's avoid this straightaway), a bag of chips, an avocado, some tomatoes, and a few good limes.
With a little planning, you too can make this delicious black bean hummus.
Just kidding.
{Vegan} Smoky Black Bean Purée with diced avocado, tomato, and lime
Equally good as a shareable lunch, snack, or pre-dinner nibble, this dip's smooth, soft texture is lovely both warm and straight from the fridge. (To see how I repurposed the leftovers for breakfast, follow me on Instagram. Hint: look for the avocado toast.) Serve with plenty of tortilla chips, lime, cilantro, tomato, and avocado, and play with the amount of chipotle to suit your taste. Important: Don't forget to soak the beans the night before!
Also, there's no garlic in here, though I bet a half or full clove would make a nice addition.
Serves 4
1 cup dried black beans
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher or sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper
2-4 chipotles and a few teaspoons adobo (to taste) from 1 can of chipotles in adobo sauce
Diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, cilantro leaves, additional olive oil, lime wedges, and tortilla chips, for serving
Pick through the beans looking for stones, rocks, or buried treasure. Soak them overnight in plenty of cool water.
Drain, rinse, and tumble the beans into a medium saucepan. Add the baking soda and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to maintain a vigorous simmer, and cook until very tender, about 45 minutes, or longer, depending on the age of the beans. (Note: Within the first 5 minutes or so of boiling, white foam will rise to the top of the pot. Skim this off with a large spoon and discard.)
Reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water, then drain the beans. Scoop up 1/3 cup of the beans and set them aside for serving.
Transfer the remaining warm beans to a food processor. Puree the beans, adding 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the cooking water (or use tap water if you forgot to reserve the water like I always do) through the feed tube. You want this dip to be very smooth, so take your time pureeing and stop the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Season the dip with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (start with less), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 to 4 minced chipotles and a few teaspoons of their accompanying adobo sauce. You'll waken things up with lime in a second.
Top with the 1/3 cup reserved black beans, diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro leaves and hit with a generous swirl of additional olive oil. Have plenty of lime wedges and tortilla chips on hand, for serving.

"The sciences were always subjects that intrigued me," says Ryan Kroschel, who is completing the required courses for both pre-dentistry and pre-medicine. "Biology was my favorite subject in high school, and it continues to be in college as well."
"The wide variety of biology courses at CSB and SJU means that I can choose classes that are appealing to me along with classes that expand my horizons," observes Ryan. "The biology major, as well as both of these pre-professional programs, requires a diverse selection of science and non-science courses, which really prepares me well for the future."
"One thing that I really enjoy about the professors at CSB and SJU is the opportunity to get to know them outside of the classroom. The professors care about you as both a student and as a person," says Ryan, who believes he was destined to attend CSB and SJU. "My dad went to Saint John's so I've always known about the colleges. When you really get an opportunity to experience CSB and SJU you come to realize what special places they are."

CHICAGO (AP) — An Illinois state senator accused of trying to board a Washington, D.C.-bound flight with a gun pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Wednesday and was sentenced to community service.
A judge sentenced Donne Trotter to 60 hours of community service and a year of court supervision for the one count of reckless conduct. The Chicago Democrat also was ordered to pay $190 in fines and costs.
As part of the plea deal, Cook County prosecutors dropped the felony charge of seeking to board an aircraft with a weapon. A felony conviction could have cost the 63-year-old his Senate job and pension.
"He is very relieved," Trotter's attorney, Thomas Durkin, said in a phone interview later Wednesday. He called the resolution of the matter "both fair and appropriate."
Security screeners stopped Trotter at O'Hare International Airport Dec. 5 when they detected the .25-caliber gun. Trotter said he had worked a part-time security job and forgot the weapon was in a garment bag.
Judge Charles Burns told Trotter Wednesday his community service should be spent talking about gun safety, said Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
Before the incident, Trotter was a front-runner in the race to replace ex-U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. after he resigned. But Trotter withdrew, saying he didn't want the gun charge to be a distraction.
