Our weather girl just said by Thursday we will be back up to normal. 80 degrees. I have a tradition of hitting the swimming pool on New Years Day. If New Years was today I would pass but maybe I can do it if we hit 80.
I don't function very well in cold weather. Never have
Great job, @cordmaker . Nice artistic touch.Folks below are Cordmakers work. I show one individual badge, then both with a tape measure to show their relative size (they are big). Also Cordmaker sent Sherry a Christmas ornament. I attach a picture of that also.
Post script: Sherry said thanks Cordmaker!
My daughter's original package has been sitting in the Cincinnati post office for over a week now. The company that we ordered from, sent another package about a week ago because of it, and it's already here.😂
Good Morning all...
I have been harping on my Darling about making some more of this...
The Grandson is keeping her so busy I can't bug her too much but I sure am in the mood for a few bags. It is good stuff...
Oh, I DO pray your week is peaceful and loving. It does good to love life. It is a lot easier loving life when you receive and are able to give love.. God Bless you all and your families.
I am at work today and will have a couple meetings this week but will officially be back at work Tuesday next week.

Thanks ATX, I just wanted to honor those who serve us!!!!! I am going to make a blue and white ornament, I like I said I can't sell them, but I can give them away!!! I still can't get in my mind and on paper what I can do for military vets, just want it to be simple or easy, maybe something similar to the shields with the military color in it, then put USA, USN, USAF or USM, still thinking.
I mentioned about making UK glass, I know I can make it without putting UK on it and anybody would know what it means, but has anybody ever heard of UK hiring bounty hunters going around places just looking for unlicensed UK stuff and turning them in for reward?
I believe UK logo, BBN and a couple other UK-related slogans are subject to copyright and trademark restrictions. If they see it, they will go after the creator.
You might consider using a blue outline of the state of KY.
I am still missing Don. I know he did not get banned so I am trusting all is well with him
Don posted twice yesterday.
There you go. Great to see your name this morning.
I still love my Cats. I am sorely disappointed by this team, but they are still my team.
I totally agree on you point Ben. It is going to be a long year unless some lights get turned on by these guys.
One thing about this years team is they have not had enough time to get the defense down. That will come as Cal usually improves the defense as the season progresses.
Back to RR; I have not been over there in years. The last time I posted I got a 24 hour ban for lashing out. Hell, I don't post on House of Blue because it is poison also.
My friend and ex-next door neighbor was the assistant coach: Charlie Hopkins.
Braves have been my favorite team since 1969. I really enjoyed watching him pitch. Knuckleball is difficult enough to correctly throw with any results.
Sorry to see him pass.
Knew a guy when I lived in Atlanta. Was originally from Wyoming. He was into one of those martial arts, maybe aikido, because he told the story of an exhibition he went to one time with Steven Seagal. Don't know where it was at, but he said there was a guy there who thought he was a real badass and volunteered to show moves or whatever with Seagal. Guess this guy went after Seagal...ticked him off...and Seagal wound up breaking the guy's arm.
We are witnessing UK basketball history. The kind of history I wish on our opponents. Coach Cal is setting records in the wrong direction.
I saw where the Cats may replace the South Carolina game with Bellarmine College. Buddy if Cal lost to them he ain't seen nothing yet.
Good lord. What a fiasco. At least the seller sounds like a reputable outfit.
Wow I started to brag about the warmth here but it may soon be gone. It is 43.9°F now but was 45° when I got up.
Think Harry is still alive. Hadn’t seen anything on his passing.
According to wiki commons, a generic image of the U and the K are public domain. I'm not a lawyer and did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so don't take my word for it.

For about a year or so, when I lived in Atlanta, I had an ex-Braves pitcher work for me. Really a nice guy and I met a number of the Braves through him (early 80s). Phil was a super nice guy.
One time Chief Noc-A-Homa (Levi Walker) stopped by our office in full costume. It was great.
Morning D-League. Hope everyone has a great day and a great LAST WEEK of 2020.
And Austin, like I did a few weeks ago with the Nat'l Brownie Day....I better not tell the Mrs that today is Nat'l Chocolate Candy Day....if you know what I mean.

Oh my.... Good to hear! I didn't mean to post that.
They just about have it locked down.Here's more information from the UK Athletic Department.

Yep. I encountered that trademark/copyright mess out here with University of Texas Longhorns and Bevo back during early 2000s. We tried using "Bevo" as the name for our information system. UTexas folks caught wind of it and nearly had a freaking cow. Offenders usually receive written warning first. Afterwards, they call out the lawyers.
Best and safest is use an outline of a state map. Those depictions are true public domain.
Correction..... I shouldn't have posted that!
Wonder if that covers old logos that aren't used anymore? Like the old UK with the cat. Or probably once trademarked it's trademarked forever.Here's more information from the UK Athletic Department.

Good question. General copyright law is 70 years after author's death. On the other hand, trademarks, which are also intellectual property, are subject to renewal, usually between every 5-6 years. There's also a 10-year rule in addition to 5-6 years. If the TM on the older logos have not been renewed, then I believe one may have a chance at use or acquisition for use.
For logos, slogans and other related IP, USPTO maintains a database with last known owner contact. I'd say with job cuts by universities, one might be surprised at what's out there. However, from what I've heard, it all depends on value.
UK can cry and complain and change logos until the cows come home but I like the Block K and It is what I wear on my cap. Always a block K
Looks like the only way I could ever make anything with UK on it is to give it away, then accept a cash donation!!!!!Here's more information from the UK Athletic Department.

Nice job ATX with the bovine pun...
Just got a message from AM, Mr. Todd is still alive and lives in Cadiz. Was sheriff there, now retired and preaches. Coach Fox passed away 3 or 4 years ago in Florida.
Check the logo out below. It's from aseaofblue.com I highly doubt they pay royalties to UK on it because the commonwealth (state) outline is truly in public domain (fair use) and not licensed. However, you can bet that image, itself, below has a copyright.
ATX, I guess I could make a blue ornament and put white UK on it and just say that's for Uncle Ken. How bout that!Check the logo out below.

I watch the obituaries in my hometown regularly. It's tough watching your classmates and people you grew up with die off. Many of whom I haven't seen since high school. And nearly as bad, seeing the once-young and attractive celebrities of our time as old people.

That's one way to put it. Just be careful. You can probably get away with small, homemade, one-time items. When you start talking logos, "UK", "Kentucky", etc., keep in mind University of Kentucky owns the brand.
What I make would be just that, nothing big!

I know the feeling. My oldest grandson will be 17 in about 3 weeks and I remember him staying with us about 3 nights a week, when his parents both worked midnights. We had a baby bed sitting next to our bed and he went to sleep at night watching The Incredibles. Now he is 6'2" and plays linebacker for Russell. So, if you think it goes quickly now, just wait another 15-20 years.
Well, since they have gone to that funky logo, that looks like Kansas St., I'm not sure they would go after someone unless they were marketing through retailers, or mass sales online. Any craft show you go to has UK items, such as sweatshirts, yard signs, wreaths, wood carvings, etc. and nobody says anything. UK picks their battles and small time homemade things are not it.
Should have told them that Bevo Francis was your hero, and it was in honor of him.
