Something people should keep in mind: contractors could structure their lives so that they show up on time all the time. But, jobs take longer than you think, usually, as once you get started you find the hidden problems that no one could anticipate without blowing through the wall or digging the trench. So, they would have to build into their schedule enough blank time so that they could absorb the job-time over-runs.

My electrician has figured out a system. It takes forever to get an appointment but then he arrives absolutely on time. He schedules regular jobs to start in the morning and then uses the overflow time for emergencies. If any of you Minnesota Mafia needs a good electrician, let me know.

Singer Sophie B. Hawkins Wins Claim in Piracy Case

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Sophie B. Hawkins found a low-tech way to join the recording industry's ongoing war against music piracy on Tuesday, winning a small claims judgment against a man who she says was selling pirated copies of her album on eBay.

The Grammy-nominated artist won a $346 small claims judgment against the eBay merchant who sold promotional copies of her new CD "Wilderness," which is not due in record stores until next week.

Hawkins, who scored on Billboard's Music Survey with the hit singles "As I Lay Me Down" in 1992 and "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" in 1994 told Reuters in an interview that money was not the motivation for taking the matter to court in Santa Monica, California.

"Wilderness" is the first album released by her Trumpet Swan Records label, and like any recording mogul, Hawkins felt compelled to protect her intellectual property. She created the album, including the newly released track "Beautiful Girl," from her home studio in Venice, California.

"He was just making easy money off something that's my blood and guts," Hawkins said. "I had invested all of my life savings into this record and he wouldn't stop. He pissed me off."

Hawkins added that, unlike major record labels that sometimes sue the very fans they are trying to sell records to, the eBay seller was purely in it for the money and taking advantage of her fans.

"I want to thank my fans because they really protected me when this started happening," she said. "They are the ones who got ripped off. One person had to pay $300 for a ("Wilderness") CD that didn't even have the artwork."

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Roberta Kyman ruled in Hawkins' favor on Tuesday after the eBay seller failed to show up in court, a court clerk said.

Hawkins said she planned to return the money to fans who bought the CDs on eBay, then buy them authorized copies of "Wilderness" after it is released on April 20.

The singer first learned from fans in December that a promotional copy of the CD was listed on eBay for $300, and that additional copies were being sold.

EBay shut down the online auction of the CDs after she alerted the company that the copies were not intended for sale. The seller contacted buyers independently and sold two more copies for $12 each, even after receiving a warning from her attorneys, she said.

As I was scrolling down, I saw only the top part of the pic and thought "who's already breaking the no Michael Jackson pics rule?"

I looked at the top part of the picture and thought "someone already mentioned that Weird Al Yankovic's parents died the other day".

Usually a good indicator of not so hot.

A kayaker in McCovey Cove caught* Barry Bonds' home runs no. 660 and 661. I can't imagine what it's going to be like out there for 714-715 and 756-757. There's a little known provision of the Lawtalkers by-laws that says that every reference to Kayaking anywhere needs to be repeated here, as though it were amusing. Which they are. Except when the humor/lameness of it all is disclosed up front, in a post-modern meta kind of way.

*the media often report that people caught balls in McCovey cove. I've never seen it happen; they're always retrieved after hitting the water. Why don't people bring their retrievers out there?
