The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Sheriff in Phoenix helps fight global warming

"PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is implementing a new inmate program at Tent City Jail called “Pedal Vision.”

The program uses inmate-powered cycles to generate electricity for televisions. "

hfec here..that sheriff has some interesting solutions to universal situations in incarceration situations. those living in his tent city do wear pink t shirts and pink underwear. his court ordered cable tv is in the office and the inmates cable tv is like on the weather channel 24 7. gotta love it. he says 'if you dont like it here, dont ever come back'. makes sense to me. later
