January 17 – Happy Birthday Don Zimmer
"Popeye's" original connection to New York City baseball was over half a century ago when he was being groomed to replace the great Pee Wee Reese as the Brooklyn Dodger starting shortstop. That never happened. A terrible beaning Zimmer suffered as a minor leaguer in the Dodger organization left him unconscious for three weeks and resulted in a metal plate being inserted in his head. The incident left him a different player. He still had the shotgun arm his teammates raved about but he would never become a productive big league hitter. He played three part-time seasons in Brooklyn and two more in LA before he was dealt to the Cubs after the 1959 season. He got quite a few at bats in Chicago but never got his batting average above the .250's and the Mets drafted him in the NL expansion draft of 1961. Zimmer lasted only 14 games with the Amazins and retired as a player in 1965. He then began the most successful part of his Major League baseball career.
He got his first big league managerial assignment with the Padres, replacing Preston Gomez twenty games into the 1972 season. The Padres lost 190 games during Zim's almost two season tenure, which lost him that job. During the 1976 season, he was named the Red Sox Manager, replacing Darryl Johnson. The four and a half seasons he spent calling the on-the-field shots in Fenway were the most successful of his career. His Boston teams finished 411-304 but couldn't get past the Yankees to make the playoffs. Zimmer then got managing jobs for the Rangers and the Cubs. In 1996, he became the fiery bench coach for Joe Torre's four-time World Champion Yankees. His most famous moment in pinstripes came when he went after then Red Sox ace, Pedro Martinez in the third game of the 2003 American League championship series, after the teams exchanged brush-back pitches.
Zim left the Yankees, livid at George Steinbrenner's treatment of Yankee manager Joe Torre and his fellow Yankee coaches. I enjoyed his colorful behavior both on and off the field.
Zim shares his birthday with this one-time Yankee DH and the first-ever Yankee super scout.

Leander Shaw, Jr. was the first African-American Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. His legal career in Florida spanned over 40 years, including stints as a public defender, prosecutor, appeals court judge, and law professor in addition to his time on the state's highest bench.
Justice Shaw was born in Salem, Virginia in 1930 and educated at West Virginia State College and Howard University in Washington, D.C. He received his law degree in 1957 and moved to Tallahassee to accept a position as professor of law at Florida A&M University. Shaw took the Florida Bar exam in the old DuPont Plaza Hotel in Miami in 1960, but because of his race was not permitted to stay there. According to Florida Supreme Court officials, when Shaw was admitted to the Bar that year he became one of only about 25 black attorneys practicing in the state at the time.
Shaw moved to Jacksonville and began practicing as a private attorney. His office was located in the old Masonic Lodge at the corner of Broad and West Duval streets downtown. As a young African-American attorney practicing when Jim Crow was only just beginning to loosen its grip on Southern society, "Lawyer Shaw" found himself dispensing lots of pro bono advice. One of Shaw's friends, Ray Barney, noted that Shaw was one of very few black attorneys available in Jacksonville at the time, yet he was always willing to help everyday members of the community understand the legal system and their rights. In 1990, Barney told Florida Magazine that Shaw "probably would have made a lot more money if he'd paid less attention to regular folks. But I always thought he was more like a pastor in a church than a lawyer."
Shaw's commitment to the public became more official when he was recruited as an assistant public defender for Duval County. In 1969 he became head of the Capital Crimes Division of the State Attorney's staff and an adviser to the grand jury. In 1974, Governor Reubin Askew appointed Shaw to the Florida Industrial Relations Commission, where he served until Governor Bob Graham appointed him to the First District Court of Appeals in 1979.
Governor Graham appointed Leander Shaw as a Justice to the Florida Supreme Court in 1983, making him the second African-American to serve in that capacity. The first, Joseph Hatchett, had resigned his post a few years before to become a federal appeals court judge. Shaw served his term as Chief Justice from 1990 to 1992. He retired from the bench in 2003, but leaves behind a strong legacy of public service and dedication to the law.
Shaw died at the age of 85 on December 14, 2015 following an extended illness.

September 23 -Happy Birthday Woody Woodward
His full name is William Frederick Woodward and he was born in Miami, Florida on this date in 1942. After playing two years of college ball at Florida State he was drafted by the then Milwaukee Braves in 1963 and made his Major League debut that same September. He would spend the next eight seasons as mostly a utility middle infielder, first with the Braves and then, after a June 1968 trade, with Cincinnati. He was pretty much one of those good-fielding, weak-hitting guys who used to regularly play the positions between first and third for most Major League clubs back then. His lifetime batting average was .236 and he hit just a single home run during his playing days, a two-run shot off his ex-Atlanta teammate, Ron Reed, while he was playing for the Reds in 1970. As it turned out, that home run would not be the biggest shock of his career. That happened in 1971, during a game in LA against the Dodgers, when a 10 pound bag of flour dropped out of the sky and landed just a few feet away from where Woodward was standing at shortstop.
After hanging up his spikes, Woodward eventually became head coach of Florida State, where he oversaw four very successful seasons of Seminole baseball. He then accepted the assistant GM position with the Reds in 1981 and in 1985, George Steinbrenner hired him to serve as an assistant to then Yankee GM, Clyde King. Those were the days Steinbrenner was firing his GMs more frequently than the Kardashian girls use a mirror. In 1987, it became Woodward's turn to take the job. He lasted in it for about a year. During his tenure, Lou Piniella was the Yankee field manager and he'd often meet with Woodward to discuss the team's personnel needs. One day, Sweet Lou asked Woody if George Steinbrenner was as rough on Yankee GMs as he was on his managers. In response, Woodward opened his desk drawer to show Piniella it was filled with prescription drugs and antacids. There were probably times during his days working for "the Boss" that old Woody wished that bag of flour that fell from the heavens sixteen years earlier had hit him square in the head.
During his single year in the job, his trades brought Rick Rhoden, Pat Clements, Cecilio Guante, Ron Romanick, Alan Mills, Randy Velarde, Mark Slas and Bill Gullickson to the Bronx and his most notable draft choice was the outfielder, Gerald Williams. Steinbrenner then replaced him with Lou Piniella and a few years later, Woodward became GM of the Mariners, where he traded for Randy Johnson, drafted Alex Rodriguez, Brett Boone, and Raul Ibanez, hired his buddy Lou Piniella as manager and made Seattle one of the better teams in baseball. He still works for the Mariner organization as a part time scout.
Woody shares his birthday with this Yankee pitcher.

SAN FRANCISCO – Family-owned businesses account for more than 90 percent of U.S. businesses, responsible for half of the country's gross domestic product and about three- quarters of America's new jobs.1 Most of California's 3,600 wineries are also owned by families. They are a major economic engine in the state that has an economic impact of $61.5 billion on California's economy.
A unique feature about California's wine families is that the family name is often on the wine label. This usually means that the family will choose the path to quality in business or production decisions because its family name, and thus its reputation, is at stake. Family members tend to be loyal and dedicated to the family enterprise and the family presence in winery jobs provides continuity in passing institutional knowledge on to others at the winery. Finally, family members will work to keep the business valuable and reputable so it can be passed on to their children.
California's wine families become versed in all aspects of the wine business, learning grapegrowing, winemaking, marketing and hospitality in the tasting room and events. Throughout California, wine lovers can meet the interesting personalities behind their favorite wines. The following is a brief sketch of some of the wine families from Sonoma, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Monterey, Lodi and Amador wine regions.
Sonoma County has an unparalleled wine history, with the first grapes planted in 1812 at Fort Ross on the Sonoma Coast, and California's oldest premium winery, Buena Vista, founded in 1857. With Sonoma's combination of history, heritage, and new winemakers, the county is home to many dynamic multi-generational family wineries. Included among these are Foppiano Vineyards, founded in 1896. It is still family-owned, with fourth-generation winegrower Louis Foppiano continuing the family tradition of distinctive and robust Petite Sirahs.
Gallo is one of the most recognizable names in the wine world, yet Gallo Family Vineyards is still family-owned and is at the forefront of the sustainable agriculture movement. Under the guidance of third-generation family members Matt Gallo and Gina Gallo, the winery takes pains to plant only half its acreage to grapevines, leaving the other half in its natural state.
In the Sonoma Valley, Mike and Mary Benziger first discovered the 85-acre Glen Ellen property that would give Benziger Family Winery a home in 1980. Today, two generations involving more than two dozen Benzigers are affiliated with the estate winery. The family's passion is to craft wines with a distinct sense of place that reflects Sonoma Mountain winegrowing.
The winemaking heritage at Bargetto's Santa Cruz Winery began with brothers Phillip and John Bargetto who emigrated from Castelnuovo Don Bosco, a small town in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The Bargetto family winemaking heritage continued with John's son Lawrence during the 1960's and 1970's. He introduced modern technology such as stainlesssteel fermentation, barrel aging, and added new Santa Cruz Mountains varietals such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The third generation of Bargetto family members now directs the operation of the winery.
Founded by Bill and Brenda Murphy in 1992, Clos LaChance in Saratoga has grown from its backyard "roots" into a 60,000 case per year wine business. As the business has grown over the years, the Murphy's have enlisted the help of their two daughters—Cheryl Murphy Durzy and Kristin Murphy. Cheryl manages sales and marketing for Clos LaChance and its subsidiaries. Kristin manages the events portion of the business as well as the vineyard management company CK Vines.
Founding winemaker George Cooper of Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards in Saratoga planted the first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1972 with his nephew Jan Garrod, thinking of it as a retirement hobby when he would retire from test piloting at NASA/Ames. In the ensuing 22 years, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc were added on lands farmed by the family since 1893. George took courses at UC Davis and learned from fellow winemakers in the Santa Cruz Mountains and on visits to France. Spring of 1994 heralded the first commercial release for Cooper-Garrod, and in 1996, son Bill completed a career in the Foreign Service to return to the ranch where he grew up and joined his father in winemaking. Although the second generation to join the winemaking effort, Bill and his cousin Jan are first generation in the Cooper-Garrod agricultural heritage.
When visiting wineries in San Luis Obispo County, you are bound to meet a family member of the winery who may be harvesting fruit or pouring a glass of wine in the tasting room. The family nature of the business helps create the family feeling throughout the winery.
The Niven family is now into its third generation in the industry, growing winegrapes since the 1960s for their Baileyana Winery and Edna Valley Vineyard in San Luis Obispo. The Niven's third generation is taking the business to the next level with a new brand, tangent, which focuses solely on alternative white wines, one of the first brands to do so.
To experience another family run and operated winery, stop by Kynsi Winery in Arroyo Grande where Don and Gwen Othman have had their hands in the wine industry for over 25 years. Two daughters run the tasting room which is located in a renovated 1940's dairy.
At Ortman Family Vineyards, Dad Chuck Ortman has been making wine for over 20 years in San Luis Obispo County and has recently started winemaking with his son Matt Ortman. They specialize in limited production Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Sangiovese.
The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Paso Robles Wine Country as many family-owned and operated businesses prepare for the next generation to lead the business and move the industry forward. From viticulture to winemaking to sales and marketing to operations, the second generation is stepping up in all aspects of the business. Working hand-in-hand with their families, the next generation is already making an impression on the growing Paso Robles wine industry.
At J. Lohr Vineyards and Winery, the second generation– Steve, Cynthia and Lawrence – work in vineyard development, sales and marketing. Steve Lohr spearheaded winery expansion both in Paso Robles and in Monterey.
At Peachy Canyon, both sons, Josh and Jake are active in winemaking and sales roles. At Steinbeck Vineyards, three generations actively work with the vineyard—father Howie, daughter Cynthia and grandson Ryan.
Austin Hope is another example of the second generation leading the winemaking and overseeing all aspects of the business at Treana and Austin Hope wineries.
Jason Hass at Tablas Creek serves as General Manager, learning from his father. In all cases the second generation is taking a leadership role in helping Paso Robles achieve its full potential on the national and global front.
In Monterey County, the next generations of Wente, Scheid, and Smith families are all carrying on the traditions of their pioneer parents.
Wente Vineyards is California's oldest continuously family owned and operated winery. Established in 1883 by C.H. Wente, the fourth and fifth generations of the Wente family are actively involved in vineyard and winery operations. Karl Wente, great-great-grandson of the founder, is the winemaker, and his sister, Christine Wente, is in charge of marketing.
Al Scheid had a wonderful vision for the Monterey wine industry when he co-founded Scheid Vineyards in 1972. Today, his children are carrying through on that vision to be one of the largest independent growers of premium wine grapes. Scott Scheid serves as President and CEO and Heidi Scheid is the Senior Vice president. One of their most recent accomplishments is the opening of the new Scheid Vineyards Winery with their father in August 2005.
At Paraiso Vineyards, the founding vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, winegrower Rich Smith is working side-by-side with son Jason. "After 40 years of living and working on this 'heavenly' spot, it's gratifying to see my children taking over – Jason is a very talented vineyard manager, committed to the high quality, 'sustainable' Paraiso ideal."
Many of Lodi's winegrowing families have been in the area for over 100 years. These families are genuinely rooted in the soil, and have worked to build Lodi's reputation as a premium winegrowing region. Over the last decade these dedicated winegrowers have sparked a remarkable transition, one that has catapulted Lodi into the vinous spotlight.
Fifth and sixth generation winegrowers like the Phillips family, the Mettler family and the Lange family are vertically integrating creating their own wine brands and building recognition for Lodi Wine Country as a producer of fine wines.
A recent trend in Lodi Wine Country is the returning of the children after college to the family business. A number of families are integrating the next generation into the family business in viticulture, enology and business management positions enhancing the expertise and knowledge of the business and the region. The next generation is a driving force behind a number of local wineries, driven by the desire to highlight the quality wine produced and the culture in the region.
Prospering for 30 years in the California wine business is no small feat for a family winery crafting organically grown wines in an off-the-beaten-path wine region.
In 1977, Leon and Shirley Sobon brought their six children from the San Francisco Bay Area to Amador County's Shenandoah Valley to establish Shenandoah Vineyards. Twelve years later, the family acquired the historic D'Agostini Winery and renamed it Sobon Estate. Today, the Sobons are widely respected throughout California wine circles for their innovative grape-growing, winemaking and marketing practices. In 1989, they were among the first in California to embrace organic grape growing, and their 160 acres of estate vines are now certified organic. The family also pioneered Rhône grape varieties in the Sierra Foothills, conducted important trials with rootstocks, clones, trellising systems and yeast strains, and were among the first to commission original artwork for their wine labels.
Today, Leon and Shirley's children carry on the family tradition. Son Paul is winemaker for both Shenandoah Vineyards and Sobon Estate while his brother Robert oversees customer relations. The Sobon family is intent on making wine in Amador County for many years to come.

One of the reasons I have always been slightly reluctant to wear sunscreen in my day to day life is because a. I like the idea that I have tough Asian skin and I don't need no sun care protection, yo! (well…none of the women in my family use it and they're fine) b. sunscreens can be quite oily and leave a whitish cast on the skin.
That's not to say I haven't found some decent sunscreen over the years, however, it's always nice to find another one.
Estee Lauder's new UV Defence is a high SPF 50 and is formulated for wear every day!
They say:
Estée Lauder DayWear Advanced Anti-Oxidant & UV Defense is a powerful UV protector formulated to help defend your skin's appearance to keep it looking younger, longer. Using Estée Lauder's most effective anti-oxidant power ever: it includes the innovative Super Anti-Oxidant Complex, proven to fight the appearance of free radical damage. Advanced broad spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen helps skin resist the look of aging.
I've tried quite a few good products from Estee Lauder recently and this one is probably one of the best.
Coming in the light blue squeezy tube, this sunscreen is a white cream which is incredibly light in texture.
When first spread over the skin, it leaves that whitish cast that make sunscreens do, then in moments that all disappears and it's practically traceless on this skin – which I really like. It makes adding this product on top of everything else quite easy.
When applied:
And it's gone! Without a trace! I like!
On top of this, it has a fresh cucumber scent (obviously no good if you hate cucumbers) which I really like. For the price (33) it also has helps to moisturise the skin and also works as a primer – it leaves a really even soft base behind which is ideal, I think for applying foundation on. It doesn't feel heavy or silicone-y at all

If UK filesharers restrict their shares exclusively to those outside of the UK, then this would exclude investigation by BPI
Similarly, if US users did the same, they would exclude the RIAA (MediaSentry, Bay TSP, etc).
Doubtless the RIAA would cotton on eventually, and they would start basing their detection offshore, but it would slow down their operations
As a point of interest, the Copyright Design & Patents Act (UK) says about imports
22. The copyright in a work is infringed by a person who, without the licence of the copyright owner, imports into the United Kingdom, otherwise than for his private and domestic use, an article which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe is, an infringing copy of the work.
Thus an imported copy (digital or otherwise) brought into the UK for such purposes seems to fall outside of the scope of UK copyright protection. Likewise, so would the subsequent re-export of such material.
Now, US law contains an interesting item that may well prove to be the reciprocal:
(2) importation, for the private use of the importer and not for distribution, by any person with respect to no more than one copy or phonorecord of any one work at any one time, or by any person arriving from outside the United States with respect to copies or phonorecords forming part of such person's personal baggage;
Perhaps this is worth opening up to discussion?

That really would be a critical usability requirement considering how much content is out there these days that isn't under the domain of RIAA/MPAA and hence not needed to be filtered on the basis of country.

My Birthday Cheese Making Experiment
Only a spouse who truly loves and understands me would get me a cheese making kit for my birthday. I am a lucky man indeed. She first read about Ricki Carroll's home chessemaking operation in Barbara Kingslover's locovore manifesto Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life and was convinced I would love making my own cheese.
Carroll runs a cheese making supply company and sells books and other materials to home cheesemakers. Her starter kit for making mozzarella and ricotta comes with a book and DVD as well as various supplies and ingredients, including vegetarian rennet tablets, citric acid, finely cut cheese salt, cheesecloth and a thermometer. Once you have the kit, all you need is a big pot, a slotted spoon or ladle and milk.
As you know if you are a regular reader, I eat lots of cheese, but though I've occasionally heard about home cheesemakers, I'd never contemplated making my own. I've seen artisan cheesemakers in action before and it doesn't look easy. However, Carroll starts you on the easiest cheeses and has done an amazing job of finding recipes that can be replicated in a home kitchen with everyday ingredients.
My first project was the Thirty Minute Mozzarella, a cheese that could allegedly be made in a half hour. The process is amazingly simple. You heat up the milk which curdles upon the addition of citric acid. Then you add rennet and heat it a bit more. The rennet creates the solid curds which separate from the whey. Once they have separated, you ladle the curds into a bowl, salt them and microwave it a few times, stretching the cheese a bit in between heatings. A gallon of milk produces a softball sized mozzarella ball.
I figured that, while it looked easy on TV, the actual process would be a bit harder. Once you get the hang of it, it is remarkably easy, but it took me three tries to make something edible.
The first try was with Trader Joe's Organic Whole Milk. It didn't work, turning into a runny, mess. My hypothesis is that TJ's treats its milk to very high temperatures during pasteurization. The book warned that ultra-pasteurized cheese would not work for cheesemaking, and while TJ's isn't labeled ultra-pasteurized, the result was the same that was warned of for the ultra-pasteurized cheese. So, we took a quick trip to Ralph's for some Altadena and Ralph's brand milk, both of which worked.
The second batch came together as cheese, but had the consistency of rubber. Two hypotheses here. Either I cooked it to too high a temperature or I played with it too much when it was about ready (it was hard to resist stretching and braiding it like taffy; it's fun stuff).
Batch three was a success. I added a bit more salt than recommended for flavor, cut down the heat and resisted the temptation to treat it like silly putty. It was moist and delicious.
The cheese that results doesn't taste much like the fresh mozzarella you get it stores, but was very tasty. It has more of a milky taste than a cheesy one. We ate it plain and on a bruschetta.
The cheese was also not as tasty when cool. Freshly made and warm, it was wonderful and hard to stop eating, but it became a bit hard when cold. I ended up warming it prior to serving.
Next up I'll be making ricotta and will report back. The book actually includes recipes for all manner of cheeses, hard, soft, washed rind, cheddars and more, but many of those appear pretty labor intensive and require presses and other special equipment. For now, I'll stick to the easy ones. What a great, cheesy birthday present!

The price of oil rose above US$102 a barrel Friday amid signs of stronger economic growth in the U.S. and possible disruptions to Nigerian crude exports.
By mid-afternoon in Europe, benchmark U.S. crude for May delivery was up 84 cents to $102.12 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Nymex contract gained $1.02 to $101.28 on Thursday.
Concerns are growing in energy markets about supply from Nigeria, which produces about 2.5 million barrels of oil daily, after reports of sabotage at a pipeline, where leaks have forced Shell Nigeria to halt exports from its Forcados terminal since March 4.
Meanwhile, the recovery in the U.S. economy signals greater demand ahead. The Commerce Department raised its economic growth estimate for the last quarter of 2013 to 2.6 per cent from 2.4 per cent, largely because of higher consumer spending.
Falling crude stockpiles in Cushing, Okla., the Nymex contract's pricing hub, also boosted prices even though the reduction was not seen as reflecting a rise in oil consumption.
In fact, U.S. crude stocks overall have risen for 10 consecutive weeks, the Energy Department said Wednesday.
In other markets, Brent crude, a benchmark for international varieties of oil, was up 46 cents to $108.29 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Elsewhere on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline gained 0.76 cent at $2.947 a gallon.
— Heating oil added 1.44 cents to $2.9573 a gallon.
— Natural gas advanced 0.8 cent to $4.546 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The "highest levels" of the Sri Lankan government were complicit in raping, torturing and abducting ethnic Tamils following the nation's ethnic civil war, a report by rights groups said on Friday.
Authorities carried out horrific sexual abuse on Tamils, including forced oral sex and anal rape as well as water torture, the report by the UK Bar Human Rights Committee and International Truth & Justice Project found.
The report comes ahead of next week's UN Human Rights Council debate on a US-led resolution calling for an international probe into alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka.
Yasmin Sooka, a top South African human rights lawyer and UN adviser, compiled the report from interviews with 40 Tamils, who said they were held in custody by Sri Lankan authorities.
"Sri Lanka's military is still waging a campaign of persecution using abduction, arbitrary detention, torture, rape and sexual violence" after the crushing of separatist Tamil rebels in 2009, Sooka said.
Post-war, "widespread and systematic violations by the Sri Lankan security forces occur in a manner that indicates a coordinated, systematic plan approved by the highest levels of government," Sooka said.
The report, titled An Unfinished War: Torture and Sexual Violence in Sri Lanka 2009-2014, included medical and psychiatric examinations of Tamils who sought refuge in Britain after being subjected to abuse in Sri Lanka.
"Their credible accounts, documented by nine independent lawyers from Western and Asian countries, establish a prima facie case to answer for post-war crimes against humanity involving torture, rape and sexual violence by the Sri Lankan military," she said.
Sooka said rights violators in Sri Lanka are still confident they will not be prosecuted.
Colombo has repeatedly denied its troops killed Tamil civilians while crushing Tamil Tiger rebels, who at the height of their power controlled nearly a third of the island's territory.
The UN estimates that 100,000 people perished during Sri Lanka's 37-year ethnic conflict.
Rights groups have accused government forces of killing up to 40,000 people in the final months of fighting in 2009.
South African rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu in a foreword to the report said it showed the government had not moved to ensure reconciliation between the nation's Tamil minority and majority Sinhalese population.
"My deepest hope is that the cycle of revenge will be broken," Tutu said.
"In order for this to happen, the international community must intervene," he added.
Meanwhile, the US State Department said in a statement on Friday that it was especially concerned about last week's arrest of two prominent rights defenders, Ruki Fernando and Praveen Mahesan, after they made inquiries about the arrest of another human rights activist.
Following international criticism, they were released two days later without charges, but were banned from traveling and disclosing information about their case.
"While it is encouraging that Mr Fernando and Father Mahesan have since been released, they continue to face harassment by security forces," US Department of State spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in the statement issued in Washington.
She said the US government was aware of reports that additional human rights groups were being targeted for investigation by Sri Lankan security forces. Psaki called Sri Lanka's government's "punitive measures" against activists "disturbing."

This is the Original Floyd Rose® brand double locking tremolo famous for deep diving bends and tuning stability! The strings are locked at the bridge and at the nut allowing aggressive tremolo use with the confidence you'll come back in tune. Micro-tuners on the tremolo make for easy fine tuning adjustments. It features hardened steel construction throughout, a removable tremolo arm and original saddles for plain-end string anchoring. This is the preferred modern tremolo for many premium guitar manufacturers and famous artists.
Note: There are many bridges made under Floyd Rose patents. Unfortunately, their physical dimensions are not uniform. On our bodies, we only offer routing for the Original Floyd Rose tremolo and for the Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo, both of which we sell. If you are buying a new Warmoth body and are either buying a bridge on the same order or can provide us with the studs and inserts, we can install the inserts in the body for just +$10. (Must be the correct size for our mounting holes).
For 1-3/4" Nut width
To purchase locking nut separately click here
To purchase mounting studs & inserts separately click here
To purchase string retainer bar separately click here
Drilled for .390" (9.91 mm) diameter insert. Angled neck pocket recommended.
NOTE: Rout not available on Tele® Deluxe bodies. Studs interfere with pickguard.
Drilled for .390" (9.91 mm) diameter insert.
This is the God of all tremelo bridges!!!
Tuning stability with this baby (with the locking system) is just wonderful, the original really is the way to go if you are looking for a Floyd!
A note about the radius:
The bridge radius is 10". Now unless you are playing a guitar with a 10" radius throughout the entire neck there is going to be a lot of extra space between the frets and the strings on the A, D, G, and B strings, especially is you have a compound radius neck (I have a Warmoth Pro neck). So really out-of-box optimum setup is with a 10" radius neck.
They (whoever "they" is) make Floyd Rose Shims for the saddles... they are cheap (like, $5.00 for 6 shims) and these allow you to adjust the radius of the bridge. I have them on my Original Floyd and it allowed the action to be ridiculously low... like lower than a Les Paul after an excellent setup low... and it plays wonderfully.
So don't fret (pardon the pun) if you have a different radius neck than the bridge.

In a robot uprising, humanity still should have one slim hope: if we flee to the beaches, our robot overlords might fall over on the soft, shifting sand dunes. Now roboticists have solved that one robotic flaw. Gee, thanks, guys.
At the moment, robots aren't really capable of navigating deserts or beaches. The sand particles don't provide a stable enough surface, and oftentimes the robot's feet will sink into the sand. Robotic balancing systems are designed with hard, stable surfaces in mind, which is pretty much the exact opposite of what sand has to offer. What's more, the balance system gets into conflict with the robot's built-in accelerometers, which send it messages that its feet aren't steady.
Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have set out to solve this problem. Shunsuke Komizunai and his team created a human-sized robot foot and then made pressed it into a box of sand. By applying different amounts of force, the team could simulate robots of different weights walking. By collecting data from these experiments, they can create new software that can compensate for loose, uneven terrain like sand. They presented their findings at the recent eighth international conference on flow dynamics, and they say they are now ready to move forward.
And, just like that, another one of humanity's dwindling advantages over robots is taken away. Honestly, it's like these roboticists aren't even considering the robot uprising thing at all.

What looks better on your wall, a beautifully taken and professionally printed photograph or a CD hanging on a brass nail? What is nicer, a stack of photographs or a stunning bound and printed picture book that you can enjoy with friends and family?
In this technological age, printed photographs are becoming more rare. We take more photos but often they are not printed and most of them aren't worth printing.
Having professionally taken pictures gives you something that you can enjoy every day. Keep safe your memories of family and friends.
What about you, your parents, your grandparents? Myself, I wish I had more pictures of my grandparents, of us together. My life with them is something that I cherish and want to share with my children. The few pictures I do have, I value so much.
I would love an opportunity to photograph you and your family - to create those special moments.
Working in the Southern California, primarily in the Inland Empire, let's set up a time to talk, in person.
Look forward to hearing from you,

I went through the huge rubbermaid bin I dragged down from the attic and it was filled with mostly empty CD cases and cassette tapes that were mine. I had absolutely no trouble getting rid of all of it. Do I really need a bootlegged tape of the Grateful Dead circa 1985? The answer is a resounding no.
My husband still has a cooler (COOLER??!!!!??) filled with his cassette tapes hiding somewhere. I will find them eventually.
I went to Target today. For the first time this year. I bought extra virgin olive oil, allergy medicine, toilet paper and binder style CD holders. Yes, I think I needed them.
We had one binder style CD holder that was at least 10 years old and the pockets where the CDs went were ripped or strecthed out. So every time you would open it CDs would fall out. Then we had movie and music CDs mixed together with blank CDs on one of those little container spools the blank CDs came on. And computer software was just tossed in the junk drawer. It has driven me crazy for a long time.
So this morning when I was going through all of the CDs, I decided that it was just time to get it all organized once and for all.
I was going to buy some CD holders that were on clearance, but they were ugly. I went back and forth in my head– clearance price or something I like. And then in a moment of clarity I realized that saving money to buy something ugly that I will just want to replace really isn't saving anything. Much better to buy something that is slightly more expensive, but I really like.
That probably sounds like I am trying to justify my purchase, and make excuses. But it isn't.
Now if I had bought that adorable pink with white trim tennis skirt with matching athletic tank top for my daughter, I would be trying to justify it. Instead I just looked at the outfit. And, yes, even touched it to soak up all of it's adorableness. But I left it behind. Because if I had bought it I would have had to buy her white sneakers. And socks with the little balls on the back. And a sun visor. The next thing you know I would be buying her a tennis racket and driving her to tennis lessons. I am too busy for that. Maybe once she is out of preschool.

Peace Deal: Washington Coming To It's Senses On Libya?
President Obama doesn't want to hear anything about Libya right now. He has enough problems dealing with Republicans and more pressing threats posed by the GOP than from al-Quathafi. It's Republicans who are pushing the U.S. economy on the brink of major disaster and damaging the country's credit worthiness by refusing to strike a deal.
[Black Star News Editorial]
British Foreign Secretary William Hague today said: "What happens to Quathafi is ultimately a question for the Libyans."
Hague echoes the same about-face that's been voiced in the last week through many NATO capitals, starting with Paris, then followed by Rome, Washington and now London.
It's no coincidence that these countries are speaking from the same script. It's also no coincidence that Hague's words are almost verbatim what last week South African President Jacob Zuma said while standing next to British Prime Minister David Cameron, who was visiting South Africa.
Also no fluke that in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal yesterday, Mustafa al-Jalil, the leader of the "rebels" and Muammar al-Quathafi's former justice minister, told The Journal that the "rebels" were willing to allow al-Quathafi and his family to live in Libya. They would have to surrender all power and Benghazi would determine the conditions under which they would be monitored. Astute observers can tell that Jalil, who hasn't condemned "rebel" atrocities, including the ethnic cleansing of Misurata Black Libyans reported in The Journal on June 21, isn't in a position to determine al-Quathafi's future. Otherwise, he would have been conducting the interview with The Journal in Tripoli.
Also news last week of Benghazi seizing the oil town of Brega and reports of "rebel" plans to launch major offensives throughout Libya rang a bit hollow. The "rebels" months ago previously seized Brega and marched to the outskirts of Sirte, al-Quathafi's stronghold. That advance resulted in a "rebel" rout pushing most fighters back to Benghazi. It's hard to imagine a different outcome. That's how the current stalemate developed. Last week's reported offensives seemed designed for public relations to give the sense that the rebels are still a military threat to Tripoli but have decided to become reasonable; this braces their supporters for a deal when it becomes inevitable.
Neither side is in a position to prevail militarily. What's more, global sentiment is hardening against NATO's bombings which have also claimed hundreds of civilian lives, according to the authorities.
It was France's Nicholas Sarkozy who has been most billigerent and warlike all along; he recently boasted of getting al-Quathafi out of the country either on a "third class" or "first class" ticket, depending on how quickly he stepped down. So intoxicated with a sense of global importance was Sarkozy. He clearly has no sympathy for the blood of innocent Libyans so long as his Napoleonic-complex for conquest and domination --to relive 19th century French imperialism-- were satisfied.
Finally, U.S. domestic considerations prompted the about-turn. Washington is in the throes of a deficit and debt-ceiling-increase crises and President Obama doesn't want to hear anything about Libya right now. He has enough problems dealing with Republicans and more pressing threats posed by the GOP than from al-Quathafi. It's Republicans who are pushing the U.S. economy on the brink of major disaster and damaging the country's credit worthiness by refusing to strike a deal.
The U.S. pays three-quarters of NATO's bills and without American full engagement the NATO Libya mission ends. President Obama also doesn't want a volatile Libya issue to drag well into U.S. presidential election season. What's more, the war is overwhelmingly opposed by African Americans, a very critical component of the U.S. electorate. A major protest March is planned for Harlem on August 13, in which Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan is scheduled to speak.
This new sobering up in Washington means that NATO may finally be paying attention to the African Union Proposal which has been aggressively pushed by President Zuma, in the last few months, including with his visits to Tripoli and recently to Russia. Zuma, correctly, has been atoning for South Africa's disastrous vote in support of Resolution 1973 after U.S. arm-twisting.
So the Libyan conflict could have been resolved months ago when the African Union first made its serious peace proposal; the plan was rejected or ignored by Washington, London and Paris--the true muscles and masterminds behind the "rebels."
The AU Plan calls for: an internationally monitored and verified ceasefire; creation of relief coridoors to assist all victims of the conflict; negotiations for a new constitution and; democratic national elections in which every Libyan would be eligible to participate.
Hopefully President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron will this time keep a leash on Sarkozy and allow the AU plan to take hold.

Stage 3: Cumberland (60 km)
Before the third stage of BC Bike Race was even underway today, event organizers were dealt a potentially show-stopping challenge on course: sabotage. The course had been completely flagged for the third day and racers were lined up in the start chute ready to ride when the word came in over event radios.
Without hesitation, course director Jeremy Grasby jumped on one of the safety team dirt bikes and blasted onto the course to replace the critical missing flags while riders fidgeted on their bikes in the start chute. Sabotage is not uncommon during races like this; community members opposed to using the land for mountain biking make their point by removing flagging, placing obstacles on the trail and more. Beyond being a huge inconvenience for race organizers, such interference can be downright dangerous for riders. Incredibly, less than eight minutes later, the flagging was fixed, the start gun fired and racers were off, spinning through the Village of Cumberland streets enroute to the trailhead.
The slight morning delay did not slow down the action on course. This was another lengthy day of almost all singletrack, and riders appeared to really enjoy flowing with the trails, many of which were purpose built by local mountain bike enthusiasts for this segment of the BC Bike Race. Local course designers also practice trail maintenance and preservation in an attempt to keep=2 0the trails active and open for riders.
Canadian mountain biking phenom has Geoff Kabush joined the starting ranks as a guest rider for the past two days of Vancouver Island riding. For those not in the know, Kabush is tearing up the World Cup circuit and was ranked fourth overall in 2008. He's currently tied with legend Ned Overend with four US national XC series wins and with John Tomac for most XC wins ever – 14.
Kabush, who cut his teeth on the local Cumberland area trails, was on a mid-season break in his regular racing schedule when the opportunity to join in the BC Bike Race came along. "It's pretty fun to come back and just do a fun ride with a bunch of the guys I know," said Kabush referencing the Day Two ride. "They've [local builders] done a lot of work there – it's super fun, flowy, buff. There's also been a ton of development in the trails up higher...it's pretty easy to see how I got into mountain biking from growing up here."
Kabush's approach to Day Three was much different, "Today I decided to ride with the front guys and just kinda stay out of their way. And it was amazing how hard they were battling it out day after day." Kabush was riding with the top Open Men teams which are caught up in a fierce battle for the leader jersey.
A fierce battle, indeed. Today, Team Jamis/Santa Cruz - Seamus McGrath and Chris Sheppard - blasted through the trails in a blistering 2:51:53, with=2 0rivals Team Kona, Kris Sneddon and Barry Wicks literally on their heels at one second later. McGrath and Sheppard retain the coveted leader's jersey for the GC but will have to work hard to keep it, with Team Kona only 73 seconds behind overall.
Third place today went to Team DCM Chrome 1 - Max Knox and Brandon Stewart - who crossed the line ahead of the BC Bike Race 2008 Champions, Trek/VW's Chris Eatough and Jeff Schalk.
The other category that's getting interesting is the Open Solo Men. Colin Kerr, (Team Kerr) relinquished the stage win to Tony Hogg (Tony Hogg RnR Sport New Zealand). Hogg is racing in a Canmore, Alberta 24hr World Cup race at the end of August, and is using the BC Bike Race as a serious training opportunity. Depending on how things shake out in this category over the remaining four days, Hogg might find himself with an overall BCBR title in hand as he makes his way to Alberta.
Despite the hot action in the Open Mens' Solo and Open Mens' team of two, there were no real changes of note in the remaining categories for today.
For Day 4, racers face an early wake-up call in order to make three scenic ferry rides from Vancouver Island to the Earls Cove ferry terminal, where the familiar Bear-on-Bike starting arch will beckon the start of Day four.
Report courtesy BC Bike Race
The following report was provided by Team Jamis - Seamus McGrath:
Seamus McGrath, still battling the effects of the cold that began at the US Cup in Colorado Springs, took it easy early on but eventually followed attacks by the South African team towards the summit of Cumberland gap. On his Dakar XCR Team, Seamus pushed his skills and equipment to its limit in an effort to increase his advantage on Team Kona, who were racing on their home town trails.
But, all of their hard work soon came to a halt. Seamus was stopped at a fork in the trail without any signage or signs of which direction to take - the course directions had been removed! It was a 50/50 chance and a choice that the guys didn't want to make alone, so they waited for the Kona boys to arrive - at which time both teams decided to take a left - which of course was the wrong way! A few minutes down the wrong trail, things were re-evaluated and the group flipped it and pinned it back towards the right hand turn they'd NOT taken....but at this point Team Jamis and Kona merged into traffic, having given up heaps of time on their competitors.

Senate Dems vent to W.H. on ACA
Anxious Senate Democrats gave senior White House officials an earful over the bungled rollout of the health care law, pushing the Obama administration to rectify problems that have become a political liability for their party.
At a private lunch briefing Thursday in the Capitol, senior administration officials heard concerns over the law's new website, frustration about the cancellation of some insurance policies and fears that the White House's poor messaging failed to convey how Obamacare will actually work. While the mood was cordial, senators said, the questions were pointed and the anxiety was palpable.
"I don't think there's confidence by anyone in the room. This is more of a show-me moment," said Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). "We were all confident that the system was going to be up and running by Oct. 1. And, no, we're not confident until it's real."
( PHOTOS: Sebelius testifies on Obamacare roll out)
"There remain concerns because a lot of what needs to be done is very much a work in progress," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). "A lot of the technical details but also substantive obstacles have to be surmounted."
The officials — White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, Obama economic adviser Jeff Zients and Marilyn Tavenner, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services — promised that the problems would be fixed and laid out the steps the administration was taking. There were assurances from Zients — who was tapped by the White House to oversee the efforts to get the website up and running — that the online marketplaces would be fixed by the end of November. And there were assurances that the small number of insurance holders who are losing their current policies would have better ones in the coming months.
McDonough laid out the benefits of the new law and detailed how individuals were successfully enrolling by telephone and mail. The officials tried to make the case that the health care law is "fundamentally sound" and will turn out to be a lasting success.
( WATCH: 7 quotes on Obamacare glitches)
"We had a really good discussion," McDonough told reporters as he left.
"I think the rollout on the website was frustrating to a lot of people," said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.). "I'm amazed personally — I looked at the website when it first rolled out and I just looked at it again on my iPhone and it's improved incredibly."
But that feeling was hardly unanimous.
"People are frustrated just like I am in trying to get on to the site," said Sen. Mark Begich, who faces a tough reelection in Alaska next year.
At the meeting, Begich expressed frustration to the officials that misinformation was drowning out how the law would actually work, pointing to how he fielded a call on Alaskan conservative talk radio this week that was clearly based on erroneous information.
Leaving the meeting, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said: "Sure, there's a lot of frustration — everywhere."
With Democrats now on the defensive because of the website problems and revelations that some insurance holders in the individual marketplace will see their policies canceled because of the law, the White House appears to recognize it must limit the dissent within its own party. As criticism has mounted, the meetings are a critical step for the administration to tell nervous Democrats that it will fix the problems with the controversial law that Republicans are vowing to repeal.
If more Democrats begin to break ranks, it would grow increasingly difficult for the White House to resist delaying major portions of Obamacare.
"There's probably been a lot of private venting between members of the Senate and the administration," said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). "This was really about the steps they are taking to make the site better."
Already, some Democrats — particularly ones in red states — aren't waiting for the administration to fix things.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), one of the most vulnerable senators facing reelection next year, is introducing legislation to ensure that all policyholders can keep their insurance policies. Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from the red state of West Virginia, wants to delay the individual mandate enforcement mechanism — a fine — for one year.
And Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who faces reelection next year in New Hampshire, wants to extend the enrollment period, given that many consumers are having a hard time signing up. That effort is supported by a number of Senate Democrats from red and purple states.
Blumenthal said "at this point there may need to consider a delay in the enrollment date — the March 31 date — but that's a conclusion that should be based on a full evaluation where the system is in the near future."
"I think the questions were very pointed and pertinent," Blumenthal said.

Inside was a CD with the following video clip of the Ford F-150 Raptor being put through its paces in some unnamed desert. Looks like the truck is able to gobble up some pretty serious terrain at some pretty serious speeds. It's a good thing it seems to performs like a champ too, as dealers were urged at the Las Vegas product preview to "drive this right up Toyota's ass."

Goat Cheese Quiche with Hash-Brown Crust (Adapted from Everyday Food)
1 pound frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 tablespoons butter, softened
9 large eggs, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
6 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups sour cream

Set pan onto a rimmed baking sheet and place into the oven - bake until set, about 15 to 20 minutes.
In the same bowl, whisk together remaining eggs and egg whites. Whisk in sour cream, goat cheese, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Pour mixture into the hash brown crust and sprinkle the top with scallions. Place back into the oven and bake until set, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, release the sides of the pan and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
