Anti-Social network…
I have taken a bit of a breather from any big social networking stuff and my blog. I guess I needed to step away and disconnect a little bit. Take a breather from all the 000 111 of the internet.
Recently we had a huge vote in our state that involved a hot topic, and our state actually got national attention because of this. I stayed up late to watch as all the votes come in, and as I networked my but off on Facebook and talked to all my like minded family and friends, I argued, fought with, and yelled at those on my "friends" list that did not agree with me. I mean come on we all know I am right and the whole world is wrong unless you happen to agree with what I say… after all I am great in mind… body… soul… ok ok maybe great in body only because of my girth… only great in mind because my mind is a reflection of my friends and other who have taught me many things over my short (or not so short) lifetime… and great in soul because I have been touched so deeply many times by the love and compassion of others. But wait a second… I have been touched by love and compassion but I argued and actually called people a fool and heartless and many many more things for not seeing things just as I did? That is not love and it sure is not compassion… I was yelling at people for not having the same thing I was not giving them. Did I still think I was right? Of course I do… but how exactly can you yell at someone and call them stupid or a bigot and tell them they should love as you do? Hummm…. Kinda makes you think a little… who was the hypocrite there?
I am not making this blog a political platform… I absolutely refuse to do that. My friends, my family, my co-workers, and all the rest of the people I have been blessed with knowing in my life are as diverse as any group you will ever meet. It's in their diversity that I find my home, because my likes and the things I find passion in are so different that it takes a team no… an army of diversity to keep me occupied. So with that said how can I alienate these people? How can I call someone out and tell them that opinion is wrong? That only mine is right… that they are taking someone else's freedom away while I am trying to take away theirs?
Does that mean I have to give over and not believe in what I believe? No… but on the other hand in the end you have to agree to disagree. We live in a semi free country where great men and women die for things they believe in all the time. Democracy although skewed at times is the best way to get things across… although it can be bloody and a long and hard road… slavery… women's rights… things like this did not happen overnight and they did not get reversed overnight. And in many cases still have to fight to keep equal rights.
Social networks have made it so easy to reach out and connect with people all the time… smart phones keep you connectected 24 hours a day. We have been assimilated (star trek reference and yes I am a dork that is another fork in my diverse tree). But with this social net work we have lost our filters and we have lost some of our common sense (here I am again telling people what they do and do not have… lol part of ego I guess… but I can live with that) the filter we have at work to not look over at someone and say, "you're a complete idiot". We do not have that on the network… I mean after all they are reading our pages are they not?? And if they publish something that we do not like… well they did make it public so I am free to say whatever I want… as long as I am behind my computer after all in the safety of my own home or internet café. But how dare they come to my post and call me out after all if they do not like what I have to say they do not have to read it… I mean really the nerve. It makes me laugh and I can say all these things because I have used these excuses and at the time I say no flaw in my thinking… I mean after all I am a supreme genius and one of the greatest minds of my time. Only a dolt would not agree…
The anti-social network has taken us from our neighborhood and into the online family we find on the World Wide Web. taken us away from going out to play until the street lights come on to playing on the computer all night until the street lights go out and wondering why we are to tired and function at work and school.
This is not really an anti internet rant… I mean I am posting the blog on the internet and even I being the supreme genius that I am, am not that much of a hypocrite But more or less my own thoughts about myself… the flaws I have seen in me. All of these things if you read this and it hits a nerve just remember they are flaws I see in me and know that you are not alone. We need to step away from ourselves from time to time to check ourselves. To see who we are hurting and who we are loving… and sometimes we can love something to death. I think a lot of ideas die because passion gets in the way of common sense… but who am I… what do I know… well yeah I know I am the supreme genius of my time… at least in my own head… or maybe that is just one of my voices who knows.
If you actually read this to the end and you followed it and understood it I suggest you see a doctor and get medicated as fast as you can… 🙂 happy anti-social networking everyone…
Smile… maybe if you smile hard enough it will come out in your texts, ims, and emails. 🙂

Discussion in 'Gunsmithing' started by Shawn.54, Apr 24, 2017.
Started working on a front sight hood today going to make sure lathe is open next weekend and have reamer shipped Tuesday.
After I get the barrel on and head spaced I'll do final inleting and finish the stock then the part I fear most checkering.
While you are in somewhat of a "holding" pattern, have you done any "practice " checkering? Seems like now would be the perfect time to do so. You are very skilled with your hands. Other than being something you are not accustomed to doing I doubt you will have any trouble. I seem to remember Chris G giving you a few tips to get things started off on the right foot.
Right now I'm in the middle of high school basketball season my youngest plays and that consumes a lot of my time but the good news is the guy who runs my machine on night turn just purchased a checkering kit and wanted me to try it out.
The lathe will be open this weekend no work on it but the shop is closed for the weekend owner leaving town so I have to hold off a week to barrel my action and finish my chamber.
Always something to slow progress.
I have done quite a few stocks and in my opnion, nothing comes close to the depth and beauty of an oil finish. using real tung oil is great if you can find it. most of what you buy in hardware stores does the job admirably. I usually start with a thin coat of dark danish oil (the walnut colored on) and once each coat goes on, sand it lightly with 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper, enough to start to fill in the grain, but not so much that you remove all the finish you just applied. Then let it set for 15-30 minutes then buff off with a clean dry cotton cloth. Repeat this until the desired color is reached. I let it sit for about a week, then I start with tung oil (I use formby's even though it isn't real tung oil). oil, sand, buff, about 20 more times. once it is to the desired shine level and all that sanding has evenly filled in the grain you should have something with a sheen similar to this:
Once it is fully cured, you can add a layer of Furniture wax on top. This is the stuff I use:
I do a coat of this, let it dry and buff it off. I do this twice, not just on the wood either. Adding a coat of it to the metal both protects the metal and gives it a nice dull sheen.
Once all of this is done, then you can checker the stock. It takes a little practice but you seem to be a very detail, hands-on kind of guy. I think you could figure it out and there is no match for a hand checkered wood stock.
This is all my process.... modify as you see fit.
Chris I was not sure which to use tung oil or boiled linseed and didn't know the difference between the two.
With my stock being so light in color I wanted to darken it some but not so much as to cover over the natural shade differences in wood. Would the Danish oil do that?
Traditionally it'd be a job for alkanet root but it takes a while to make up that potion (walnut oil and ground alkanet root, steeped for two months in a shaded but warm spot).
Hi Shawn,
here are some pictures of the final outcome. This is my personal 6.5x55 Ruger M77 MkII. It was done about 2 years ago and every year I just do one coat of wax over the top after hunting season is over with to maintain it. It is about 8 coats of Danish Oil (Walnut), Then 25 coats of tung oil, wet sanding each coat in, then 5 coats of antique oil over top and finally 2 coats of wax. That is why it is shinier than some of my other work. I preserved rugers factory checkering on this because the wrist is pretty thin and I didn't want to think it any more lest it look unnatural.
These next ones are a marlin 336 that I completely overhauled including rust blue, stock refit and finish and checkering. This was about 6 coats of Danish followed by 15 more of minwax antique oil, then checker, then wax and buff.
You'll notice when you use the Danish oil, it will only get so dark and further coats do not darken it more. However it will slowly age darken a bit as you use it and continually replenish the finish with wax or oil.
It is labor intensive but I really like the finish that oil gives you and there is no spay on quick-fix finish that accomplishes the same thing.
You can get tung oil at lee valley, and Woodcraft, the real stuff. I does a beautiful job, just takes an age to dry between coats.
Another finish I use was designed by the the late great Sam Maloof. You take one part tung, boiled linseed, and Valspar Gloss/matt Polyurethane Varnish, and mix well. Apply like a drying oil, wipe on let sink in, buff off before it sets-up. It builds and dries faster, has a very deep look to it, and is fairly water resistant. Short of epoxy.
Have you tried sticking it in the window and giving it a tan?
Tung oil doesn't have the lingering smell, linseed oil is often deeper and glossier. Tung is more water resistant and was used on boat hulls, though it isn't that water proof. Traditionally it was used in a lot of varnishes. Tung can take a while to dry, but you can add a little Valspar to it, or Japan driers. In my case I don't know if I should be in a rush but I normally have time. So I just let the Tung work it's wonder. You can get a high shine in Tung by buffing it. If you want to cut the shine, then you can use a wax that cuts shine. Rub it out a little flatter. Include a little Valspar semi gloss.
Rule one with finishing is to do test samples.
Front sight is complete and ready to be polished for finish I cheated a little and modified a Lyman sight to fit my needs.
Looking pretty good Shawn
Thanks Rob i decided in the beginning to do as much if not all the work myself. And not knowing all things about gunsmithing I have made some mistakes. I know the front sight is high and so is the rear sight but be it due to stock design or my size they are where I can use them without having to force myself down into them.
The stock would be perfect with a scope but open sights down low is not in the cards.
I'm learning a lot on this build and having fun at it.
Shawn.54, If you don't mind an observation I have one to offer. That front sight looks like it will snag a lot of brush. The barrel band and adaptor should have one slope /curve leading up to the hooded front sight. You might even have the "back side" of the hood angled as well. That would insure that branches etc. would just slide off. I've been following your project from the beginning. I wish I had your machinist skills, if I did I'd be tempted to follow in your footsteps. Glad you're back to making progress.
By all means I like to hear pointers and that situation can be fixed with a little machine time or a little time with the grinder the sight was made many months ago and the plans have been changed a couple of times on Monday I was making a prototype and Tuesday I had the Lyman sight in hand never expected that but it worked out.
When I find out if everything I have made works and all snags are cleaned up I'll have it finished.
My hold up now is time and it looks like basketball ends February 14 for my son so I should have a little more time before baseball starts.

John P thanks for posting that. Now Shawn.54 has a "pattern" of sorts that he can follow if he chooses to. I really like this site. Guys from all over the world providing helpful tips and insight to folks they probably will never meet except over a keyboard.
Thanks guys the next pics of the sight will incorporate rounded corners.
Probably next week.

When we last left the Gannet, the fuselage was detailed and all buttoned up. That's where she sat for a long while as I worked on the Sikorsky S-38. But, once the S-38's fuselage was closed up, I switched back to spend some quality time with the Gannet.
The wings and horizontal tail were the next stage. I started with the tail; the stabilizers are provided in upper and lower halves. After trimming them from the sprues and cleaning them up, I cemented the first set together – and then realized they were handed, and that I'd glued two top halves together! I pried them apart and re-glued them, feeling lucky to have caught my mistake.
Next came the finlets. I found that on each stabilizer, one finlet – the top on one, the bottom on the other – didn't really fit well. They all required repeated filling and sanding, to be honest, and then I needed to re-scribe the finlets. Between the original Gannet AS.1 and the AEW.3, Fairey had decided to add de-icing equipment to the finlets, so scribing could not be overlooked. Photos of the real plane showed a distinct dark panel boundary between the de-icing panel and the rest of the finlet.
As I was re-scribing, I noticed that the panel detail on the horizontals was different. I dawned on me: I had caught my error, then repeated it. Twice! After much blue language (said with a British accent in order to maintain the authenticity of this build), I realized that prying the halves apart was no longer an option. Instead, I sanded the detail off the top of one stabilizer and off the bottom of the second, and re-scribed the detail to match the opposite side. This was slightly difficult with the finlets in the way, but I accomplished it and happily set the horizontals aside for later.
Before I could add the wings, I needed to detail the wheel wells. The kit provides three sides for each well and a center bulkhead; the fourth side is the side of the fuselage on this mid-wing aircraft. These parts were all added to the upper wing, and the fit was not bad. Hunting for photos was a challenge – I found images strewn all over the internet of AEW.3s in Arizona in the U.S. and Yeovilton, Newark, Yorkshire and Gatwick in the U.K. No one set captures the entirety of both wheel wells, so some mental jigsaw puzzling was needed to figure out where details went.
Basically, the wheel wells featured a ribbed plate (smooth in the kit) that covered a circuit box. Wiring runs led up the front side of the wells and fanned out toward a bus mounted against that center bulkhead. Other hydraulic lines and some woven bundles of wiring continued along the other sides of the inner wells. The detail here varied from side to side. The outer wells, where the strut retraction mechanisms were housed, were essentially the same, but mirrored, with an assortment of struts and hydraulic lines.
The right inner well had a large blue tank for nitrogen (I believe) mounted against its front corner, with and assortment of circuit boxes placed in sequence behind it. The left inner well had some significant ducting and couplers against it. In all, it's a very busy area. By the way, the Gannet AS.1 and AS.3 have wheel wells that are much, much less crowded – don't make the mistake of using an AS.1 well (or, maybe, trying to use Eduard parts intended for the AS.1 or AS.3) as the template for the AEW.3's wells!
This was a lot to replicate. I did it in steps: first I added ribs to the plate at the center of the inner wells, then started in with the wire runs. These were made with fine lead wire; with careful folding, I could get five wires that bent at the same angles. A bit of thin CA in the back of the wires held them together, and they were secured inside the wheel bays. Initially, I mis-interpreted the runs that fanned out to the bus and later realized I had bent them 180 degrees in the wrong direction! Luckily, I was able to fix my mistakes and keep going. These runs also received retaining brackets made from flattened solder. The woven wire runs were made from fine copper wire that was twisted together and cut to shape. It was added where appropriate.
The fuselage bulkheads were the trickiest part – none of the detail added here could impinge on the detail under the wing when the wings were added. Before I added any detail, I noticed the inner walls of the bays had very visible rivets. Using a rivet tool and Dymo label tape as a guide, I added rivets to the inner walls of the wheel bays.
Detailing started with the nitrogen tank, which was made by sanding a nub of .040 styrene rod round at the ends, then wrapping with short lengths of flattened lead wire. Styrene "valves" were added and the whole thing was glued into the wheel well corner. Circuit boxes stolen from HO train details and other boxes cut from styrene completed the detail on the left side. The right side received the valves and hoses for the fuel system, which were made from thicker lead wire, plus three more electronics boxes made from styrene strip.
The outer bays, featuring the retratction mechanisms, were detailed with lead wire, followed by some styrene rod for the various struts, one of which stands proud above the detail above it in the bay. The whole mess was then airbrushed medium gray, followed by careful detail painting of the brownish fiberglass ribbed panels, the blue tank, the orange fuel system fittings, and a few other items. A heavy wash followed and once that was dry, I dry-brushed with a lightened shade of gray. I added a couple of square data placard with a .005 black rapidograph pen, and decided to stop there.
The lower wings snap into slots; the top wings rest atop these. I found that my detail fit together very well, although the wings themselves needed some sanding and filling – and shimming – to attach to the fuselage and stay in alignment to the rest of the model. The panel lines I obscured on the wings were replaced, with a scribing template and a sharpened thumbtack coming in handy for the square panels with rounded corners.
The lights on the wings were treated somewhat carelessly. The landing lights have clear covers, but there's no bulb inside them. The position lights on the wingtips are simply not there. I sanded a notch in each wing tip, then cut pieces of clear sprue and sanded a right angle into each to fit the notch. A tiny hole was drilled into each light and clear red and green-blue paint was inserted into the holes to represent the light bulbs. The styrene was CA-glued into the notches in the wingtips and carefully sanded to the original contours, then polished to transparency. The landing light openings were cleaned up and boxed off with .050 styrene; they would be painted gray later after the model was painted, then equipped with MV lenses and covered by covers made with clear packing tape.
The wheel wells aren't totally done – the trailing interiors of the outer bays have vertical stanchions that I'll add only after masking and painting – but at this point the wings are on and aligned, which a pretty good step forward from where the model was art this time last year.
Next, I'll add the tail, the windscreen and the exhausts for the turboprop engines – and then, the plane will be ready for paint!

It was joyous not to have the alarm going off this morning. Tjough in fairness, every day the alarm is set for 6 am I am awake before it ever goes off. Today we slept till 7am. Luxury!!!
First thing - after the laundry - was to take ourlovely Fiki to the vet. He is an old gentleman now - they will be 16 soon - and it has become apparent recently that he is pretty much deaf. It seems to have happened reasonably quickly and whilst we figured it was probably age related and he had shown no signs of anything bothering his ears, we thought we would get it checked anyway. Yes I am the fussiest fur mommy every!
The vert was lovely and was very impressed at how good he looked for 16 and reiterated that it is exceptionally old for a Bengal as the breed are not generally long lifers. She said he was in beautiful condition, a good weight and incredibly gentle for a Bengal (who are often difficult to handle) He is our gorgeous gentle giant - huge but such a softie. She checked him thoroughly and then came the bit we'd been dreading because, good as he is , he was never going to like the scope down his ears. He tollerated the first side Ok but wasn't so keen on the seond - he knew what was coming! However, he had the all clear. His deafness is down to old age - or possibly to the fact that for the past 16 years he has had to suffer his incredibly lous sister blasting his ear drums (She is the loudest cat the vet has ever experienced - I kid you not)
We are getting used to having to clap loudly if he is asleep before we touch him so we don't startle him and we are teaching him knew hand signals when we want him to come but of course he has to be looking at us for that to work. I may try a high pitched bell, but I don't think he will be able to hear that. He is pretty deaf!and if it is possible, I love him all the more! My poor handicapped little monster with almost no hearing, arthritic hips and polycystis Kidney Disease. He can have whatever he wants whenever he wants because I adore him!
Just because he is adorable - Fiki over the last month or so ...
Never known a cat yawn so much as Fiki - I have dozens of yawning photos. I think I bore him!
In his bunk bed with his sister - I was so pleased Nigel made this (two IKEA doll beds fixed together) as they us it all the time
with one of the crazy gang (it's what we call his mice)
My boy
Our busy day continued with a trip to see Fisherman's Friend based ont he true story of the Cornish Fishermen from Port Isaac. It was a nice story and an enjoyable film but my goodness the dubbing was shocking.
I also got to scrap.
I received a wonderful Design Team kit from A Trip Down Memory Lane of the Cocoa Vanilla Midnight and More than Words collections and I couldn't wait to play with it.
This is the first page I made with it
There was a lot of fussy cuttinga nd stamping - and making butterflies to match
Today I am thankful for
- not being at work
- long weekends
- design team goodies

Despite knowing that demand for seats by train passengers from Dimapur far exceeded the available quotas, the Northeastern Frontier Railway (NFR) has done precious little to mitigate the problem.
Even with the present meagre seats available as against the huge demand, Dimapur railway station remains as the second highest revenue earner for the NFR. Each day, hundreds of desperate passengers are compelled to be crammed inside the Non-AC bogies and have to pay for the benevolence of Ticket Examiners.
There have also been persistent complaints from passengers who had valid reservation tickets of having to share their berths with other passengers.
The volume of train passengers continues to grow substantially but the NFR has remained unmoved.
Only two daily Express trains emanate from Dimapur and Guwahati-- Nagaland Express that departs Dimapur at around 6 a.m. while the same departs Guwahati at around 11 p.m.; BG Express departs Guwahati at around 2 p.m. and after arrival at Dimapur returns to Guwahati at around 9.45 p.m.
A railway official at the Dimapur said passengers generally preferred Nagaland Express as the same train departs from Guwahati for Dimapur at around 11 p.m. In addition to the two, the Guwhati-Jorhat Jan Shatabdi Exp leaves Guwahati for Dimapur enroute Jorhat at 6.30 a.m. and on return halts at Dimapur for around five minutes enroute Guwahati and departs at 4.30 p.m.
The other train is the Intercity that departs Dimapur 11.p.m. for Guwahati and the next day leaves Guwahati at 8 p.m. for Dimapur.
The railway official informed Nagaland Post that there were no "off seasons" as the heavy rush for tickets was constant throughout the year. He said the number of passengers increased significantly during peak festival seasons like Holi, Dipawali, Chaat Puja and Christmas holidays, besides elections in neighbouring States.
The official further said that, apart from the two daily trains originating from Dimapur, there were around ten other trains that ply through Dimapur during the day and another 12 to 16 trains that ply through Dimapur at night
Meanwhile, speaking to this reporter, Lumding-based senior divisional commercial manager Ashok K Dey contended that the only option was to increase number of seats or additional trains to accommodate the increasing volume of passengers from Dimapur.
Dey assured that he would apprise the senior divisional operation manager and divisional railway manager on the need for additional coaches and raise a request for addition of coaches in trains currently plying from Dimapur.
Launched on December 3,1990. Nagaland Post is the first and highest circulated newspaper of Nagaland state. Nagaland Post is also the first newspaper in Nagaland to be published in multi-colour.

"Riverdale" Season 3 episode 9 titled "Chapter Forty-Four: No Exit" will air on The CW on January 16, 2019. Fans of the teen drama series are eager to learn more about the relationship status of Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) and Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes).
"Chapter Forty-Four: No Exit" was written by Arabella Anderson and directed by Jeff Hunt. In the episode, Archie will be forced to face his demons.
On the other hand, Veronica will lead the charge against Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) with Riverdale in disarray following her father's takeover. Also, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) will confront a group of desperate Serpents.
Recently, "Riverdale" executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa told TV Line that Archie and Veronica have not broken up "story-wise." The EP said, "That has not happened yet."
"They did have that tearful phone call but a lot of that was circumstantial," Aguirre-Sacasa added. "None of that really had to do with their feelings for each other so in my mind, even though they had that tearful goodbye, and it's going to take some figuring out, if and when they come back together. In my mind, they're not yet broken up."
Written by James DeWille and directed by John Kretchmer, "Riverdale" Season 3 episode 8 titled "Chapter Forty-Three: Outbreak" showed how the whole town was put under quarantine. Jughead was stranded outside the city limits and Archie head to the Canadian border alone in the episode that aired on December 12, 2018.
Aguirre-Sacasa has confirmed that there will be a time jump when "Riverdale" Season 3 returns. He added that there will be different pairings and viewers will see how besieged the town will be.
"When we come back, it's definitely a changed Riverdale," Digital Spy quoted Aguirre-Sacasa as saying. "It's a very changed Riverdale."
Aside from Apa, Mendes, Consuelos and Sprouse, "Chapter Forty-Four: No Exit" will also feature Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Marisol Nichols as Hermione Lodge, Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Charles Melton as Reggie Mantle, Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz, Skeet Ulrich as FP Jones, Madchen Amick as Alice Cooper, Luke Perry as Fred Andrews, Jordan Connor as Sweet Pea, Drew Ray Tanner as Fangs Fogarty. Gina Gershon, Trinity Rose Likins and William MacDonald are returning as Gladys Jones, Jellybean Jones and Warden Norton, respectively.
New characters will be introduced in "Chapter Forty-Four: No Exit" including Mrs. Mulwray (Kelly Ripa), Leo (Brad Mann) and Nico (Todd Mann). Here is a trailer of the upcoming episode:

Fields of crops enmeshed in dirt are plentiful around Ashland County, but at you won't find dirt at one local farm.
Since 1999, Doug and Katy Kern have operated Bradwood Farm, a farm that grows crops hydroponically, or through the use of recycled water in channels to grow plants in a conservative way. Nutrients transmitted to the plants are mined, not composted, and no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides are used at any point in the process.
"It's different, it's clean," Katy said. "Hydroponics are my first love; you don't have to worry about the dirt."
The farm sits at 1306 Township Road 608 in Nova, where there is plenty of room for the farm's greenhouse, pasture and home.
The Kerns first saw hydroponic farming in action when they visited Disney World's Epcot park 30 years ago. They were amazed by its ingenious setup. They didn't have money to start their own hydroponic farm at the time, but knew they wanted to do it eventually. Katy worked for Doug's construction business for 23 years until a few years ago, when Doug sold his construction business to focus on making their dream a reality.
Work started on the 500-square-foot greenhouse in spring 2014, and it took a year and a half to build. Their first crop was planted Jan. 31, 2015. Today, the greenhouse grows vegetables and herbs, including
rosemary, basil, romaine lettuce, kale, tomatoes, jalapeños, red peppers and tatsoi, to name a few.
Plants like lettuce and other leafy green vegetables begin their lives in a small nursery in pods made of rockwool, a man-made mineral fiber. Unlike soil, rockwool leaves no residue to make for cleaner farming while absorbing water. As many as 200 plants are grown in one nursery cube as nutrients are pumped through wires.
A central tank in the greenhouse recirculates the water to all the plants.
After two weeks of growth, when roots grow out in the nursery, plants are moved into long channels that use a nutrient film technique that allows water to go through emitters to 12-pod holes. To help the water circulate, the tables the channels sit on are slanted toward the middle of the greenhouse. Anywhere in the greenhouse, the plants are watered every 30 seconds with the help of timers. Because no chemicals are used in the growing process, bug traps are kept near the plants to guard against pesky perpetrators, which proves effective for the Kerns.
Two layers of plastic along the greenhouses' walls also are used to keep bugs out with inflation fans to keep them airtight.
Plants stay in channels three to six weeks before they're harvested. Katy said lettuce takes five weeks to grow in summer and eight weeks in the winter. Having several channels in the greenhouse helps the farm grow 1,500 heads of lettuce a week.
At its hottest, the greenhouse can be 82 degrees and at its coldest 63 degrees.
At one end of the greenhouse sits a water wall to help regulate temperature. Water goes through coated cardboard with an exhaust fan to blow the water into the greenhouse, creating a cool mist.
For hanging plants like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, a Bato bucket is used to hold nutrients, and water enters the buckets through pipes.
"Hanging vegetables is actually better for them," Katy said.
Each tomato plant will produce 40 pounds of tomatoes per year.
Because hydroponic farming is becoming more popular in Ohio, competition is tighter, so sharing exact prices for the crops could cripple the farm's sales. Generally, Katy said their lettuce and other vegetables usually sell anywhere from $2.49 to $3.39.
For restaurants and interested patrons, the plants are harvested the same day as they're ordered. The farm sells to eight local retail markets, including Hawkins, Buehler's Fresh Foods in Ashland as well as Bassett's Markets in Port Clinton and Bellevue and two local restaurants.
The Kerns also participate summer farmer's markets in Akron. "I'm confident when I hand a person lettuce, it'll be good quality lettuce," Katy said.
The farm also provides educational opportunities for area children. For one week in summer, the Kerns host a kids camp for students from St. Edward School. Activities include a scavenger hunt, tractor rides, greenhouse tour, any nature activities, arts and crafts that educate the kids about nature and agriculture. They also host a growers school sponsored by Crop King in Lodi, a two-day school that trains people interested in creating greenhouses and hydroponic farming. Participants from Las Vegas, Kentucky, Tennessee and elsewhere have flocked to the farm.
Because the technique is so revolutionary, the Kerns have received national and international attention in recent months. In early October, Mark Rose, the director of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service from Washington, D.C., visited the farm to observe its technique. About two weeks ago, Italian Gaetano Verdoliva, founder of agribusiness organization Aeroponica International, Ltd visited while in the area for a conference at Wooster's Ohio State campus.
In the long-term future, the Kerns would love to produce more maple and walnut syrup and grow more carrots and beets. Learning better techniques will always be useful, and Katy looks up videos and reads about hydroponic farming all the time.
As long as the Kerns work together as they have for the past 25 years, they know they can be successful.
"We're a good team," Katy said.

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. It seems as though I don't have enough time in my day to do everything.
As far as my eyesight I would say it is about 99% better! I had a second opinion last Friday. No new tests were done or anything. It was basically just going over my case with a ms specialist. He is not sure if I have ms. I guess to get a definitive diagnosis there needs to be two episodes at two different times. So again back to the waiting table.
My appointment at the Mayo is scheduled on March 14th. I'm a little nervous about even going. I'm not sure what kind of tests they are going to want to do. I've heard that they like to do do a lot of their own testing. Being it's been a couple months now since I've had some tests done that they might want to repeat them anyway. Part of me wants to wait until I have another episode if I even ever do to go.

August 2013
For economists and data analysts, many interesting pop culture newsbytes spawn a desire to understand the greater forces at work. Powerful analytical tools we often use for complex questions of market share fragmentation, competitive landscape analysis, event studies and pricing models can also help us frame everyday questions of cultural norms.
The press has recently been giving a lot of attention to a court battle between two parents over their son's surname and whether the presiding Judge overstepped her bounds by also ordering an unrequested change of his first name, from Messiah to Martin. Of course, there is no lack of unusual names bestowed upon infants, but perhaps more surprising is how this particular name is not as unusual as one might expect. The U.S. Social Security Administration ("SSA") publicly reports its database of approximately 100,000 different names given to babies born in the US from 1880 through 2012. Yearly counts are reported by gender for each name, totaling about 330 million births. The availability of this type of data allows us to answer additional questions about various names and related trends.
According to SSA statistics, there were 762 baby boys given the name Messiah in 2012 alone, making it one of the fastest growing names for boys in the United States. The chart below shows Messiah's popularity since 1880:
We can think of the process of naming children as a market activity. The "market" consists of parents (i.e. consumers) who select a name (i.e. product) from a wide assortment of options. Although this particular market has no sellers or relative prices, we can still perform a traditional market concentration analysis. A highly concentrated market means that only a few names (e.g. John, David, Mary, or Elizabeth) are assigned over and over again and therefore represent the majority of birth names in a given year.
Within economics, a standard method of measuring market concentration is using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The Index converts market shares of all of the market's participants into a single number ranging from 0 to 1 (or alternatively stated as 0 to 10,000) with 0 representing a perfectly competitive market and 1 representing a complete monopoly. The Department of Justice uses this same metric when evaluating anti-trust concerns associated with potential mergers and acquisitions.
Using the yearly name data provided by the SSA, we calculated the HHI by gender for every year since 1880. In general, the name market is highly fragmented, which comes as no surprise since we began this discussion by acknowledging the wide variety of names given during this time period. The chart below shows the HHI for the boys' and girls' name markets for every year since 1880 in blue and pink respectively.
Over the entire period, the boys' name market has been more concentrated relative to its female counterpart. However, both name markets have become significantly less concentrated with time. Part of this decrease is artificially created by virtue of how the data was collected. Each name is only counted if a person registers for a Social Security card and submits gender information. According to the SSA, registration completeness improved dramatically from 1880 to 1937. By the early 1940s, most new births in the US were recorded with the SSA dataset. This means that for the period preceding 1937, name diversity and market share information is less complete, thereby biasing the estimates of market concentration upward. Nevertheless, we see an unmistakable downward trend during the period for which we have accurate data.
We can think of several hypotheses to explain this fragmentation. First, new immigrant groups often introduce new names to the market. What matters for this mechanism is not that large volumes of immigrants come to the United States, but that many different, previously unrepresented immigrant groups arrived in the US and now participate in the name market. Second, it's possible that parents increasingly desire to be unique and cool by avoiding "mainstream" names. Third, the name market naturally grows in diversity over time because names never really "die." While certain antiquated names lose popularity, they may perpetuate regardless because some children continue to be named in honor of older relatives.
The above data is separately reported for male and female children. However, a noted trend in child naming in recent years is unisex names. While names like Grant or Greg are generally associated with males and Isabelle or Antoinette are clearly associated with females, other names are significantly more androgynous. When you receive an email from an unknown Sam, Morgan, or Jamie, it can be difficult to discern the sender's gender. What makes a name clearly suitable for one gender or the other? Although some names "sound" decidedly masculine or feminine, most of our perception of what makes a name suitable for only one particular gender stems from how consistently that name is only used by one gender but not the other. In other words, boys' names aren't especially masculine sounding, they just happen to be given almost exclusively to boys. Unisex names, therefore, lack gender markers because the name is assigned to boys and girls with roughly equal frequency. Another interesting question that can be answered with SSA data is "what name is assigned to boys and girls most evenly?"
We assigned each name a "unisex score," defined as the degree to which a name's counts by gender approximated a 50-50 split. For example, if a name was given to 100,000 boys since 1880 and 100,000 girls in the same time period, the name would have a perfect (i.e. the highest) unisex score because the split is exactly even. For the purposes of this analysis, we limited our attention to names with total counts above 100,000 so highly obscure names with perfect unisex scores (e.g. "Ammer" or "Elmi") wouldn't clutter our results.
Based on the analysis described above, the most unisex name in US history is Riley. Since 1880, 154,000 people have been named Riley in the United States. Of these people, 46.6% have been female and 53.4% have been male, resulting in an extremely high unisex score for the name. The top five most androgynous names by this same metric are:
- Riley, difference in gender split: 53.4% – 46.6% = 6.8%
- Jackie, 7.2%
- Jaime, 13.3%
- Casey, 18.3%
- Jessie, 20.4%
The popularity of each of these names waxes and wanes over time. The below charts show counts for these most unisex names over time, with girls and boys represented by the pink and blue lines, respectively.
While unisex names' popularity fluctuates over time, the names are popular for girls and boys simultaneously. If the popularity by gender were to occur separately (i.e. not concurrently), gender confusion would be more easily avoided. For example, until about 1940, Leslie was almost exclusively assigned to males, but has since become mostly a female name. Therefore, if we hear about a Leslie born before 1940, our guess should be that the person is male, but we should reverse our guess for younger Leslies.
Unisex scores can also be used in reverse to identify the most lopsided names (i.e. the most masculine or feminine names). The top 5 most masculine names are:
- Ethan, difference in gender split: 99.65%
- Grant, 99.65%
- Liam, 99.65%
- Jake, 99.62%
- Wyatt, 99.58%
The top 5 most feminine names are:
- Angelina, 99.79%
- Lily, 99.78%
- Isabella, 99.76%
- Katelyn, 99.75%
- Ava, 99.75%
We will wrap up our analysis by examining a particular name that would famously score low on the unisex scale. In 1969 Johnny Cash released a song which described the perils of being "A Boy Named Sue". The song reaches a memorable finish when Sue's father recounts his reasoning,
"Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
Did other fathers agree with this logic? As it turns out, it wasn't just one fictitious father who named his boy Sue. SSA data reveals that at least 519 boys have been named "Sue" since 1880 in the US (because the SSA only reports name counts for (i) years with 5 or more occurrences and (ii) people who signed up to receive a social security card, the annual number is really a floor). The chart below shows the counts of boys named Sue by year:
Although it can't ever be described as a commonly occurring (the highest count of 19 male Sues occurred in 1943), one might note that the well-known song did not inspire increased popularity of the normally female moniker for baby boys. Since the release of "A Boy Named Sue", 166 boys named Sue have been reported, with a few years of lowered numbers immediately following the event. In this case the song might have negatively impacted the usage, by highlighting the pitfalls of such a choice.
This type of market analysis has many uses, from academia to the courtroom. Analysis of the interplay of competitive forces, buying trends and event studies is useful in everything from assessing the possibilities of a new product launch to capturing the economic impact of a particular incident and many applications in between.

All About Sports Betting Online
Sports betting in New Zealand is as much part of the culture as playing the game or watching the action at home. For casino and gambling enthusiasts, Internet betting has become a valuable resource for sports fans as it offers secure and convenient wagering via desktop or mobile. For those who are new to the concept of this type of wagering and are interested in getting started, here is what you need to know:
Where Can I Bet?
The answer to this is easy, at registered and licenced online bookmakers we recommend! If you are keen on getting started, the first step is to sign up with a licenced New Zealand bookmaker. There are plenty of sites to choose from so it's best to look around and find a site that is user friendly, offers multi-platform access, a wide range of sports, competitive odds and secure banking.
What Sports are Available?
Once you have signed up, the first and most important step in the betting process is deciding on what sport to bet on. The decision should be based on knowledge rather than what is available. The golden rule is to always wager on a sport you are intimately familiar with. If you are a passionate soccer enthusiast, chances are you will know all the teams, the players and the coaches in the upcoming tournament. The information you have will give you a better chance of picking a winner.
Unlike gambling, this type of betting has a lot to do with research and skill. The more information you have at your disposal, the greater your chances of placing a successful wager. As such, it is best to choose a category you are familiar with.
The good news is that there are plenty of options available. The best sites offer dozens of categories including Rugby, Cricket, Baseball, Basketball, Horse Racing, Ice Hockey, Motor Racing, Badminton, Volleyball, Soccer and just about everything in between. There also niche markets like eSports, Entertainment and financial markets available for those who want something a bit different.
With each category and event, bookmakers will offer a range of markets. These can be viewed as different types of wagers for the same sport. For example, and upcoming rugby match might have over 20 different markets including outright winner, over under markets, total points, first team to score a try, half time scoring, first player to score a try, total number of tries in the game and markets on the winning point margin.
Betting Odds
Odds are the most important aspect of putting money down online. They can be expressed in decimal format or fractional format. The odds give punters an idea of the theoretical chances of winning as well as the actual amount you will be paid out if your prediction is successful. The first and most important part of putting money down is to understand how they work for each market. Lower means you are more likely to win, but the payout is less. On the other hand, higher ones pay out more but it means you are less likely to win.
The goal is to find competitive odds on markets you are confident about. Value odds are rare but can be found. This is where they are higher than what you would expect to see on the particular market. In such cases, punters can make good money on a reliably safe wager.
Betting Strategies
Since wagering is all about research and skill, there are a lot of strategies that can be implemented to ensure that a profit is made. It is important to realise though that event he professionals only win 55% of the time. Strategies should include creating a dedicated bankroll, plenty of research time, finding the right odds and choosing the right markets. In some cases, punters use spread betting to offset their losses with winnings on opposite results.
Ready to put some money down? We've got the best places for you to do so on the web!

Itinerary, Tips and Guide to Holiday in Singapore in 3 Days
Blog Travel Reservations – Singapore, even though this is a small country, Singapore is a modern, neat, clean and orderly country. That also makes tourists hooked back and forth on vacation to Singapore. No exception Indonesian tourists also like traveling here. In fact, many have made Singapore the first destination for a vacation abroad.
Well, because this time Travel Blog Reservation will try to share tips and travel guides for those of you who are just on holiday to Singapore. Whether in the style of backpacker, or the usual traveling style. What is clear is that even with a frugal budget you can still travel in Singapore without hesitation. Read the preparations for your vacation trip to Singapore, also the itinerary and saving tips while in Singapore below:
Prepare a Passport, Because Without a Passport You Can't Go Abroad!
Renew passport
Making a passport right now is easy, it doesn't have to be complicated. And the most important thing to be ascertained is the expiration of your passport. If you go abroad, your passport validity period must not be less than 6 months. For example, if you are going to Singapore on August 15, 2016, at least your passport expiration period must be February 30, 2015.
Of course if the validity period is less than 6 months, immediately extend your passport. It's ridiculous not to fail to venture out of the country just because of a passport problem that hasn't been extended. Especially now how to make a new passport or how to extend your passport is not complicated anymore because you can get online.
The Cost of Travel to Singapore Will Be Cheaper If You Can Get Promo Tickets
It's no secret, the cheaper airplane tickets, the less costs that need to be spent. Indeed, when traveling to Singapore it can be cheap because there are many cheap promo tickets to Singapore. Stay tuned for LCC flight tickets that often provide promo tickets like AirAsia, Tigerair, or Jetstar. Even the normal ticket price for Jakarta Singapore is IDR 400,000-600,000. Can be even cheaper if there is a promo ticket to Singapore ?
Stay at a Cheap Hostel or Cheap Budget Hotel Also One Way to Save on Holiday in Singapore
Even this neighboring country is not too big, but the cost of living in Singapore is one of the most expensive in Southeast Asia. Therefore, choosing the right hotel or hostel is the key to frugality. Choose accommodation in Singapore that is strategically located, so you don't have to pay extra for transportation. Just walk to some of the attractions in Singapore.
Try booking 1 month before the date of arrival, usually you can get a much cheaper lodging price. If possible, staying at the hotel is still too expensive, you can try staying at a hostel. Try staying in hostels with dorm room types that are like dormitories with lots of beds. Maybe you will stay with foreigners, but the average hostel price in Singapore is around 100 thousand for one night. Very cheap, not a hostel in Singapore?
Designing an Efficient Itinerary Maybe So that Holidays in Singapore Can Be More Maximum
For the itinerary, it is an example of a holiday itinerary in Singapore for 3 days.
Day 1: From Changi International Airport to Hotels in Singapore
holiday guide to Singapore
Travel in Singapore
Try to take off from Jakarta in the morning so that when you arrive in Singapore you can go for a walk. But if you take off during the day, or in the afternoon you can go to the inn first to put your luggage. For example, if you fly from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 17:00 WIB, with a flight time of around 2 hours you will arrive in Singapore at 20:00 Singapore time (Singapore local time is 1 hour earlier than Jakarta).
When arriving at Changi International Airport, just head to terminal 2 where there is Mass Rapid Transportation or MRT to get to downtown Singapore or the hotel where you stay. We chose to use MRT because this transportation is the fastest and cheapest way to reach hotels in the center of Singapore. Arriving at the inn, it is recommended to rest first because it arrives at night.
For example, you will stay in the Geylang area (this place has many cheap inns). For example, you can try staying at Fragrance Ruby Hotel which is located at Jl. 10 Lorong 20 Geylang, Singapore. The location of this hotel is quite strategic, because it is only a 10-minute walk from and to Aljunied MRT Station. From Changi to the Aljunied Station using the MRT it will take around 30 minutes at a rate of SGD 2.10.
Day 2: Spend Time in Skatepark, Narcissistic at the Merlion Park
Try getting up early and on the first day you can go to Sommerset. This Sommerset is a shopping center and business district in Singapore that is quite crowded. Sommerset location is not far from Orchard Road which is famous for its shopping centers and expensive branded goods.
What is unique in Sommerset is the skateboarding arena in Sommerset Skatepark (or sometimes also known as Scape Skate Park). So for those of you who like skateboarding, it's like trying to skate in this place. In addition to the extensive skate park, it's still quiet. In addition there are several picnic tables on the edge of the skatepark surrounded by shady trees for those of you who want to relax. Sommerset can be reached by MRT from Aljunied Station with a rate of SGD 1.70.
If you are satisfied to relax or skate in Sommerset, you can proceed to Raffles Place MRT Station to take the MRT and then take pictures, in front of the Merlion statue. The location of the Merlion Statue is at the Merlion park which is only about 10 minutes walk from Raffles Place MRT Station. The MRT ticket price from Sommerset MRT Station to Raffles Place MRT Station is SGD 1.30.
Besides being narcissistic in front of the Merlion Park, you can enjoy the Singapore landscape filled with tall buildings. Indeed, most of Singapore's landmarks can be witnessed from the Merlion Park. For example, such as the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade, Singapore ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands to the Merlion Statue itself. Here you can go around and spend the night. Nighttime views around the Merlion will be so beautiful.
Day 3: Marina Bay Sands, Sentosa Island, Gardens by the Bay, Return to Jakarta via Changi International Airport
The last day should be all checkout, so I don't have to go back to the hotel anymore. On this third day you can visit Sentosa Island. On Sentosa Island there are many interesting attractions and attractions that you can try. One of the most popular attractions here is Universal Studio Singapore.
From Aljunied MRT Station you can take the MRT and get off at Harbourfront Station to get to Sentosa Island. Travel time from Aljunied Station will take approximately 30 minutes with SGD 2 rates. Upon arrival at Harbourfront Station, you can continue your journey by using Sentosa Express at a rate of SGD 4 for your trip home (PP).
On Sentosa Island we did just walk around the island while taking a few photos. Many attractions can be tried here, but the average rate is quite expensive so we prefer to look around and just walk around. The next destination you can visit is Marina Bay Sands. Marina Bay Sands is Singapore's iconic landmark, a symbol of luxury and glamorous life in Singapore.
Casinos, malls, hotels and offices can all be found at Marina Bay Sand. Not far from Marina Bay Sands, there is a unique garden known as Gardens By The Bay which is the largest flower garden in Singapore reaching 101 hectares. The best time to visit is at night because beautiful lights start to decorate Supertree Grove with different colors every minute.
If you are satisfied to go around at Garden By The Bay, you can go straight to Changi International Airport to fly back to Jakarta.
Holiday-saving tips in Singapore
- Buy an MRT Card for Multi Trip (EZYLink Card or Singapore Tourist Pass)
Buy a MRT (multi trip) card for tourists that can be purchased at several MRT Stations. By using this multi trip card, you will get two benefits. First, the tariff will be cheaper than a single ticket. Second, you can use a multi trip card not only for the MRT but also for public buses. Tasty isn't it?
To buy a multi trip card, the price is SGD 12, and you will get a balance of SGD 7. If the balance runs out, take it easy, because you can top up the balance with a minimum top up of SGD 10. And if it turns out the card balance is still left when returning to home, the card can be returned to be exchanged for the remaining cash balance of the card.
- Buy a Local Card SIM in Singapore for those of you who want to be connected to the Internet
If you want to always be online during your vacation in Singapore, it's better to buy a local SIM card from the Singtel provider. This SIM card can be found easily in 7-11 (Seven Eleven) stores. Make sure you bring your passport when you buy it, because you will be asked to show your passport for the data verification process. The price of this SIM card is SGD 15, with a balance of SGD 18. More than enough for a week-long data package subscription in Singapore.
- Restaurants with Halal Menu Can Also Be Easily Found In Singapore
For those of you who are Muslims, in Singapore there are many halal foods in Indian and Malay food stalls. Briyani rice that looks like fried rice, you can try it. Or you can also try other Malay foods like nasi lemak for those of you who don't like Indian cuisine. Besides that, in Singapore, you can also easily find dishes from Indonesia, provided you want to look for them.
- Roti Prata, delicious food for those of you who want to save money
If you want to try cheap but filling snacks, you can try prata bread. How to eat it is quite simple just by dipping bread into curry sauce provided. This bread is usually available in Indian restaurants at SGD 1 for one serving.

La Pousse D'Or Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Groseilles
Selection: Red
Vintage: 2012
Score: 92
Drink: 2022+
Price: $144.27 excl. GST
- Tasting Notes
While the expressive nose is not quite as complex as that of the Feusselottes, it is even more complex with its pretty array of spicy black currant, floral and sandalwood scents. This is also quite restrained in the mouth with strikingly well-detailed medium weight flavors that possess the same fine depth as telegraphed by the nose, all wrapped in a balanced and firmly structured finish. This beauty should amply reward 10 to 12 years of cellar time.
– Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Score: 92
The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Groseilles comes from the domaine-s 0.52-hectare parcel of southeast facing vines planted as far back as 1937. It has a "distant" bouquet with broody, introverted black dusky fruit and forest floor/mushroom aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with solid tannins from a Les Groseilles, which is usually more feminine, perhaps due to the thick skins. But there is plenty of black plum and blackberry fruit to enjoy and it segues into a solid and masculine finish. Fine.
– Neal Martin, Robertparker.com, Score: 88-90
A beautifully balanced wine, the domaine's 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Groseilles impresses for its captivating inner perfume, sweet, layered fruit and silky tannins. Dark red cherries, rose petals, cinnamon and hard candy linger on the supple, gracious finish. The Groseilles is one of the more feminine wines in the range. It is pretty hard to resist, even today.
– Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Score: 92-94

If you're God, you're probably not sweating the results of the latest national polling survey putting your approval rating at a mere 52 percent for overall job performance.
One of the perks of being God is that you never tire of reminding the creatures made in your image that the universe has never been a democracy. Atheists are just being honest when they point out that the arc of a universe oriented toward God bends toward monarchy.
This brings us to the poll conducted earlier this month by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm based in North Carolina. The polling firm surveyed 928 Americans about their attitudes regarding Rupert Murdoch's phone-hacking scandal, the U.S. Congress and the two political parties.
Buried in the middle of the survey between "Who did you vote for President in 2008?" and "If there was an election for Congress today, would you vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate from your district?" were four questions you would normally expect to see on a freshman philosophy mid-term:
If God exists, do you approve or disapprove of its performance?
Fifty-two percent of the respondents approved, 9 percent disapproved and 40 percent weren't sure.
If God exists, do you approve or disapprove of its handling of natural disasters?
Fifty percent approved, 13 percent disapproved and 37 percent were undecided.
If God exists, do you approve or disapprove of its handling of animals?
Fifty-six percent answered positively, 11 percent disapproved and 33 percent weren't sure.
If God exists, do you approve or disapprove of its handling of [sic] creating the universe?
Seventy-one percent approved, 5 percent disapproved and 24 percent offered no opinion.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
If you're God, you're already a little put off by the presumption of the questions and positively annoyed by the reference to your Personhood by the impersonal adjective "its."
Still, you're compelled to forgive the Democratic-leaning firm, because, as we've all come to realize over the years, "They know not what they do" is a Democrat's governing philosophy.
Still, you're God, so you can't help being curious about the poll numbers and what they say about your relationship with, arguably, the most "God-fearing" citizens on Earth.
First, you're relieved that you're much more popular than disgraced media baron Rupert Murdoch. The share of people in the survey who have a favorable opinion of him is a dismal 12 percent, which is more like Satan's numbers. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed have an unfavorable opinion of Mr. Murdoch and 39 percent aren't sure.
Although you also have higher approval ratings than both congressional Democrats and Republicans, that's a lot like being the tallest pygmy in Borneo -- no big deal. You're God and you'd rather not be damned with faint praise.
After looking into the hearts and minds of the people who answered the survey, you emit a long sigh of resignation. The monumental stupidity of the human race in general and American voters in particular is nearly overwhelming. Still, you find yourself forgiving them again.
Because you're God, you're used to hearing your name taken in vain, but it never ceases to amaze you. The recent nonsense with the Rapture-predicting charlatan still has you seeing red.
Several potential GOP presidential candidates say they're waiting for a sign from you that you want them to get into the race. A few Republicans already running swear they've already lined up your endorsement. You smirk at their audacity and contempt for logic.
Still, you love these Republican rascals, too, even though they embarrass you more than just about any other stiff-necked people you've ever had to deal with. On the rare occasions they repent of their self-righteousness, they can be quite adorable.
Take GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain. The former Godfather's Pizza CEO has been saying the most bigoted things possible about Muslims for months. Islamophobia isn't helping him.
This week, Mr. Cain apologized to American Muslims. Declaring himself "humble and contrite" after a meeting with Muslim leaders in Virginia, he agreed that Muslims "like all Americans, have the right to practice their faith freely and peacefully." Say what?
You may be God, but even you are impressed by this miracle.

- Description
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)--portable, multifunctional, and able to connect with computers and networks--are both a fast-selling consumer device and a hot technology for libraries. This timely guide helps librarians and information professionals understand how these devices fit into day-to-day operations and how libraries can become more accommodating to PDA-using patrons. Cuddy provides an overview of PDAs, including their history, a comparison of different makes and models, and a look ahead at their future growth. She explores the wireless benefits, storage options, and valuable peripherals (cameras, barcode readers, cardswipes, printers) for PDAs. Software applications--Microsoft Word, document readers, Web browsing, and more--are examined and discussed. The use of PDAs in collection development and provision of materials--e-journals, e-books, databases--is outlined. Special sections cover the applicability of this technology to special projects including delivering content to users, developing applications, lending policies (both for PDAs and PDA-readable content), mobilizing staff, marketing and promoting services, developing instruction, privacy and security, and more. Practical and easy-to-understand, this manual demystifies PDAs and prepares professionals to harness their portable power.
