American IronHorse, Fort Worth’s high-end motorcycle maker, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in April. The tangible assets — mostly equipment and motorcycle parts — fetched $3 million, a fraction of the amount Textron Financial Services, its major secured creditor, has lost over the years. A former IronHorse chief executive, Buck Hendrickson, estimated the losses at more than $12 million.

Ever wished you had a finish that was as easy to use as shellac but with the durability of polyurethane? Well wish no more, because here it is. This unique Hardened Shellac creates a film with a high resistance to heat, water and alcohol, yet it is used in exactly the same was as any normal shellac. It can be applied with a rubber as French polish, brushed, sprayed and dipped.It takes approximately 2 ounces to finish one guitar.

This Australian hard shellac hasn't been available in the US until now. (yikes A28 -> US 45)

this could be the answer to my small end table whose top needs finishing -

What kind of table? antique? Do you want a gloss or satin finish? Do you want it to be waterproof? This U-Beaut stuff is very pricey.
- Greg GuitarBuster
it's a cherry table - not antique - it has a gloss finish now but needs a bit of refinishing - waterproofing isn't necessary -

"Having delivered a talk on how to write your own JavaScript library (detailed notes) at the conference, Dmitry shared his thoughts on the new library over breakfast the next morning. “Just what the world needs—another sucky JavaScript library,” he said. When I asked him what made it ‘sucky’, he elaborated. “It’s a JavaScript library written by Java developers who clearly don’t get JavaScript.”"

Police have arrested two boys, 14 and 15, in connection with a weekend shooting in south Fort Worth that left a 16-year-old girl dead.

The two teens were arrested by gang officers and members of a U.S. Marshal’s task force about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at a relative’s home in southwest Fort Worth, Thornton said.
- Greg GuitarBuster
I have mixed feelings about this situation. I'm relieved that the suspects have been arrested, but sad and depressed about our society. Why are 14 yr olds cruising with guns?
- Greg GuitarBuster
driving at that age AND with a weapon - there are those who analyze why this happens and when they come up with reasons they don't come up with solutions - gun control? too many lobbyists have to please their constituents - punishment? good lawyers get criminals off with a light sentence - we'd have to go back almost to time immemorial to see how this could have happened and then, what do we do to turn it around -
- sally stokhamer
I just met my neighbor from across the street. He works for FWPD and was letting everyone know the situation. Still one suspect at large.

The health reform legislation in Congress is imperfect, of course. It won’t do enough to hold down costs; it may restrict access even to private insurance coverage for abortion services; it won’t do enough to address public health or unhealthy lifestyles. Likewise, troop deployment plans in Afghanistan are imperfect. Some experts think more troops will help. Others think they will foster a nationalist backlash and feed the insurgency (that’s my view). So where’s the best place to spend $100 billion a year? Is it on patrols in Helmand? Or is it to refurbish our health care system so that people like Sue don’t die unnecessarily every 12 minutes?

I had never noticed that Grandmom's dress looked like a nurse's uniform. (and check those lace up boots). I'll have to ask my uncle.
- Greg GuitarBuster
I wish I had scanned a couple photos of my uncles. They served in armored units starting in North Africa, then Italy and finally Germany. They've almost never talked about their service.
- Greg GuitarBuster
Hopefully you can catch them in a good mood and they'll talk about it?

A vehicle described in a police report as a late-model gray Chevrolet Cobalt, occupied by at least four to five people, pulled alongside the Cadillac in the left-turn lane. According to the report, a back-seat passenger in the Chevy began yelling a gang affiliation and pointing a handgun wrapped in a red bandanna at the Cadillac.

I just had a visit from a US marshal. He has warrants for my next door neighbor.
- Greg GuitarBuster
your next door neighbor is a (the) suspect?
- sally stokhamer
Yes. This family moved in a few months ago. Lots of auto traffic at all hours of the day and night. The marshal showed me pictures of 3 teens that are suspects. I've seen 2 of them before. Scary.
- Greg GuitarBuster
I have no idea what's going on now. A couple hours ago, several squad cars arrived, the police were donning vests and helmets and I went back inside the house. A few minutes later, the police were gone.

Not just a pick… inspiration! World's first COMPOSTABLE, EARTH-FRIENDLY wheat-based guitar picks! They stand up to heavy attack, create a round sound and are earth friendly. Raised lettering makes them easy-to-hold. Wears faster than plastic, but if thrown in a garden, they biodegrade into plant fertilizer in 90 days. One can buff them on jeans between songs for longer use. One can never have too many of these fantastic picks
- Greg GuitarBuster
Interesting, maybe. A lot less expensive than Red Bear or Wegen.
