  wow Xaos !!! you are Just keep highing friend !!!! GREAT work and congrats on the silver
  
  The use of lighting in photoshop is an art in and of itself. I see how the big guns at FN handle it - FW has his methods, Hit has his and AZ has his. Your lighting to me seemed to be most similar to AZ's. Thus, my comment.

- Beautiful Smoke! Saw Bar? ...90 Degrees off?
  
  -Former Professional Tree Killer.
  
  Not quite 90 degrees I hope. It was placed where the original was at the same angle. I free transformed the blade as good as I could. I know it's not perfect, it's art
  
  I see what you mean now. It's a special giant acorn carving saw with a twist of 90 degrees on the saw bar for maximum control. If you ever carve giant acorns you'll need one of these

  news1st, I fixed the saw bar, couldn't let it go once you pointed it out. What were the odds a lumberjack would be on FN? Thanks for the sharp eye.
  
  Great Fix KIR! It was more my problem than your's. When you've held a chainsaw for as many hours as I have, you just don't feel right until it's pointed in the right direction.
  
  Great Chop! Thanks!
  
  This entry is so aCORNY!
  Seriously though, excellent satire and art. I am not lumberjack,but this looks great to me!
  
  KIR strikes again! Congratulations on the bronze!
  
  Felicidades por el bronce. Gran trabajo.
  
  Congrats KIR, excellent work I am wondering how many many pimps and prostitutes are in that nut.
  
  Splendid work KIR!! very cool lighting, Congrats on bronze!!
  
  that was really fantastic chop Keepo as always congrats on the bronze and keep up great works friend
  
  Thanks everyone, for your comments and votes. Hannah Giles is only 20 years old and she has out reported all the major news networks with good, old fashioned, investigative reporting, a dying art in this country IMO.
  
  Special thanks to news1st, who made me stay up until 3:00 am to correct the saw bar angle
  
  Funkwood, I was thinking of your style when I was editing this color scheme (greens & yellows), glad you like it.
  
  Rainman, standing room only
  
  Pretty exciting, this is the first time one of my chops has had more views on Twitter than FN, over 15,000 in 24 hours! I'm sure FN will overtake in the long run, because FREAKING NEWS RULES!
  
  A final note, I have been contacted by Hannah's sister (Regis) who has requested a high rez version for creating a poster and it was featured on Red Eye on FOX News 9-25

  I wasn't lying when I said Our Country (US) has some serious issues to resolve and redress regarding the subversion of the "Free Press" and those who's Lives Paid such a heavy price to achieve the atrocity.

  The Coup D’E tat of the United States Press
  
  Red 'X' Society·Wednesday, March 1, 2017
  
  by Tracy Mapes
  
  SACRAMENTO,California--In America, it has long been held that there is a sacred bond between the United States Government, and the People of the United States.
  
  That bond is the unbendable document called the Constitution of the United States, and, as I am about to embark, this bond has been broken by the Corruption of Our Central Bodies of Government, Executive, Legislature, Judiciary, Agency, and the Press.
  This means that while Americans have been kept busy with the non-essential, info-tainment of the Press, both Print and Broadcast, these bodies along with all key positions in the Government of the United States, have been subverted and replaced with loyalist Felons and Street Prostitutes as legitimate Journalists, Political Appointees, Judges, and even Entertainment Personnel.
  
  This means that along with the Silent Subversion of the 1st Amendment of Our Constitution, a facade of disinformation has cloaked the atrocity with unfounded fears of the necessity to increase the National Security risks assessed to convince the Citizens of the United States that loss of their personal freedoms, restriction on travel, and the production of “Fake News” in warranted to maintain the Secrecy of the Criminal Enterprise Our Government has become.
  
  I became aware of this situation in quite an unconventional manner.
  
  As I have described over the past 8 years, to United States Government agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Congress, the United States Senate, and News Media alike, without material response, I met over 150 Pimps, Prostitutes, and Individuals involved in criminal acts in the related to the before mentioned street crimes on the streets of Sacramento, California during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
  
  Since my involvement with these persons over a 7 year period, 2 of the persons involved in narcotics use and prostitution have become Presidents of the United States of America.
  
  With the addition of a First Lady, a Supreme Court Justice, State Senator, City Mayor, and County District Attorney of Sacramento, there are nearly 150 persons that have been placed, appointed, hired, or infiltrated into the Newsrooms of America.
  One could look at this as a miracle of some great proportion, but in fact, the pattern sings of racketeering, espionage, and the criminal manipulation of All Avenues of Control and Command of the United States Government and the Media.
  
  And, after engaging in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America ...I find this UN-Acceptable!
  The Red ‘X’ Society was formed as an Idea, to redress this wrong, and hold those accountable for this Horrific Tragedy of United States Government Miss-Management, and urge All Americans to display the Red ‘X’ until this matter is resolved in accordance with the written word of the U.S. Constitution.
