Midwest Living Review
Worth a visit just to chat with hilarious owner Marilyn Fenton, this downtown shop sells garage sale treasures and Larry Bird memorabilia.
Across the street from the French Lick Resort is the one shop worth visiting in this downtown area. Village Market and Antiques' most interesting and unique merchandise is its collection of Larry Bird memorabilia, but it also has rooms full of dolls, Christmas and country crafts, and French Lick souvenirs. The second floor teems with antiques and garage sale items. "When you walk through the store, you don't shop. You remember," owner Marilyn Fenton says.If you don't like to shop, sit and chat with Marilyn. She is a friendly, storytelling local historian. She has many stories to tell about NBA star Larry Bird, who called himself the hick from French Lick.

Transistion to FCC Data Collection Information 2014 – Form 477 data
The Office of Broadband Outreach and Development (OBOD) mapping team has started preparations for the
fall 2014 data submission to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on
October 1.
The deadline for providers to update their mapping data with the Project has been extended to Sept. 19,
2014. This fall will be the last time the OBOD, and all other states and territories, will collect mapping
data directly from providers for the State Broadband Initiative (SBI).
Starting in spring 2015, OBOD will utilize broadband deployment (availability) data collected directly
from broadband service providers by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) using the new form 477.
The transition will take place this fall, with both the states SBI and the FCC collecting data from
broadband providers. The due date for the FCC's new form 477 is also October 1, 2014.
Read more
The biggest visual change on maps will be that fixed wireless is no longer mapped by actual coverage,
but will be mapped using 2010 census blocks, along with other fixed technologies. Also, only 2010 census
blocks will be used, regardless of their size.
If a provider provides service in part of a census block, then a whole block is marked as covered.
To learn more about the new form 477, see this webpage about the changes to the form by the FCC.
Thank you to the providers from The Office of Broadband Outreach and Development:
OBOD greatly appreciates all the support and cooperation received over the years from broadband
providers. The state broadband map is only possible because of all the volunteered data that providers
have submitted in Kentucky.

These are some of our most asked questions. For additional questions and answers about hummingbirds, visit the Professor Bird web site. Search for "hummingbirds" in the key word search field.
Q - When should I take down my feeder so the hummingbirds do not stay too long into the fall or winter?
A - Hummer migration is triggered by the shorter fall days, not the amount of food. Keep your feeders up until the birds have completed migration through your area, often into mid-October or later. Keeping your feeders up will not cause otherwise healthy birds to delay their migration.
Hummingbird nests are surprisingly strong structures made of lichen, spider webs and various plant materials.
The selection of materials allows the nest to expand as the young hummers grow.
Q - What is the best way to attract hummers to my feeder?
A - Use several small feeders spread throughout your yard or, even better, plant a hummingbird garden. See the section on gardening for hummers.
Q - How long is incubation for hummingbirds?
A - This varies a little by species. Hummingbirds usually lay one or two eggs that hatch within 2-3 weeks.
The male leaves after mating, leaving the female to provide all the feeding and care of the baby hummingbirds.
Q - How long do hummingbirds live?
A - The average age is about three to four years, although some may live twice that long. The record is about 12 years.
Window-mounted feeders and ant guards are two of the many...

There are a variety of feeders on the market. They range from a simple, single feeding tube to larger feeders with multiple feeding stations. Some people elect to locate several smaller feeders throughout the yard. This approach sometimes helps attract hummingbirds and can reduce the stress of competitive behavior.
Feeder designs and key features
The most popular hummingbird feeders come in one of two designs, saucer-shaped and bottle-shaped.
Saucer-shaped feeders are attractive and easy to clean.
Bottle-type feeders come with bases of various styles.
In general, you will to select a feeder that has the following features:
Quality hummingbird feeders usually have the above features built into the design. We recommend sticking with products from companies like Aspects or Droll Yankees. Hummingbird feeders are not expensive and a quality feeder will do an excellent job in preventing problems from occurring.
Be wary and do your homework before purchasing hummingbird feeders from grocery or discount stores. Some look really nice, but the designs can make them hard to fill, some leak, and some provide an open invitation to bees and wasps.
If you feed hummingbirds you will eventually have to deal with insects. Ants can usually be foiled with water barriers or the use of petroleum jelly on the "hard" approaches to the feeder. Flying insects such as bees and wasps can be more difficult. Bee guards are available for many feeder brands and some have bee guards built-in. Spreading petroleum jelly or mineral oil on the surface of the feeder can also be effective in controlling the airborne intruders.
Ant moats can be purchased and placed above a hanging feeder.
The moats are filled with water, which prevents ants from crawling down to the feeder. Two colors shown.
Window-mounted feeders
Some hummingbird feeders are designed to be attached to a window. It may take a little time for the hummingbirds to become comfortable with feeders so close to the home. Having a feeder nearby will help attract hummingbirds to the area.
Aspects window-mounted feeder. Available in the Hummingbird Pro Shop.
Fancy feeders
There are many fancy looking hummingbird feeders, some of which double as a feeder and a work of garden art. When purchasing one of the fancy feeders, consider the key points listed above. You might be quite willing to spend a little extra time cleaning and filling a feeder, just be sure to understand your options.

The X Factor
The X Factor's Diamond White "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World": Which Performance Was Better?
Diamond White blew the judges away the first time she stepped on the X Factor stage to audition in September. In a sea of mediocre Adele covers and songs that failed to show off the hopefuls' voices, Diamond's rendition of "It's a Man's (Man's Man's) World" brought the whole room to life and sent her through to Boot Camp.
On the December 5 show, Diamond once again sang the James Brown original, this time in a more stripped-down, but still powerful, form. Although some judges expressed their desire to hear her sing something different, we were thrilled with her performance. (We're still unsure how this was as "unplugged" as others, like CeCe Frey's "Edge of Glory," but we'll let that slide.)
So, which performance was truer or better for you: The first time we met Diamond and she sang the song with nerves exposed, or the more polished version she showed us in live shows week 5? Did her repetition of the song show how much she's grown over the course of the show, or would a different choice have done that better? Hit the comments with all the feelings you feel.
Diamond's performance on December 5:
Diamond's first audition, on September 19, 2012:

Precision Ported
Engineers at RHS have recently designed the only small-block Chevy 23-degree, cast-iron head for 360-434ci engines that is CNC-ported from the factory. The precision accuracy and durability of the RHS Pro Elite SBC 23-Degree CNC-ported iron cylinder heads are derived not only from the CNC-porting of the intake and exhaust runners, but the CNC-ported combustion chamber as well. The CNC-ported 240cc intake and 85cc exhaust runners optimize airflow volume and velocity while the 53cc combustion chambers are also CNC-machined to relieve the valve shrouding that occurs when the edge of a valve is in close proximity to the combustion chamber wall. Overall, the full CNC-porting process provides more consistent runners and smoother port-to-chamber transitions, thereby increasing both airflow efficiency and horsepower.
For racing classes that mandate the use of cast-iron cylinder heads, RHS has designed the ultimate advantage by utilizing the latest in airflow technology.
For more information about the RHS Pro Elite SBC 23-Degree CNC-Ported Cylinder Heads or any other RHS product, call 877.776.4323 or go to www.racingheadservice.com.
Cooler Air = Instant Horsepower
With all other factors remaining equal, the easiest way to add horsepower to a carburetor-equipped muscle car is to lower the temperature of air entering the engine. Spectre's newest breakthrough is the DTM intake system. By pulling air from outside the engine bay, Spectre saw impressive gains of 20 hp and 23 lb-ft of torque peak on a standard 350ci crate motor-equipped test car. That equated to an impressive 6.71 percent increase-all from swapping to a DTM intake!
The DTM is also one of the lowest air intake systems on the market, making it a perfect benefit for hot rodders with tall-deck engines and high-rise manifolds that want to avoid swapping to a new hood for clearance. The Spectre DTM intake system is currently available for '67-81 F-bodies, '64-72 Chevelles, and '66-74 Novas. All necessary brackets, adapters, hardware, and complete step-by-step instructions to make installation easy are included. Click on over to www.spectreperformance.com or call 800.821.4868 for more information.
Trick Shift
Trick Shift was originally developed by B&M for racing applications, but has also become a popular high-performance fluid for street applications.

Not an additive, this safe and effective formula of extreme pressure agents, foam inhibitors, and exceptional thermal stability will provide a long service life for your transmission.

Jay's Treaty: Sharing Power 1794-1795
Winning independence from Britain did not end disputes between the two nations. Issues of trade and territory remained. To resolve these, President Washington sent Chief Justice John Jay to London in 1794. Even before Jay returned to America, angry rumors circulated speculating that the treaty he negotiated favored the British at the expense of American interests.
Following two months of bitter debate in 1795, the Senate approved Jay's Treaty with barely the required two-thirds majority. When a senator leaked the still-secret agreement to the press, angry mobs accused senators of signing a "death warrant to America's liberties." Those who had voted against the treaty became heroes. This split helped define America's first political parties—the Federalists, who approved the treaty, and the Jeffersonian Republicans. When the House made a bid to review the treaty, President Washington refused its request for documents, thereby reaffirming the Senate's exclusive role in approving treaties.
"A death warrant to America's liberties ..."
—Cry of protesters against Jay's Treaty, Summer 1795

Jerry Lee Center of Criminology
The mission of the Jerry Lee Center of Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania is to produce major discoveries about the causes and prevention of crime, showing how to make a safer and more democratic world.
The University of Pennsylvania is world renowned for its contributions to criminology.Since the 1920s, Penn has pioneered in research on such issues as capital punishment and juvenile delinquency. Over 100 Penn Ph.D.s who specialized in criminology are still active in their leadership of the field around the world. Students from all of Penn's undergraduate programs have filled introductory criminology classes for decades.
Criminology is the scientific study of the criminal law: its making, breaking, and enforcing. It seeks to understand and predict these behaviors from a multi-disciplinary perspective. This goal has rarely been accomplished. For most of its history in the United States, the study of crime has been dominated by the discipline of sociology. In northern Europe, faculties of law have sponsored most degree programs in criminology; while in Italy criminology is found in medical and psychiatric faculties. None of these arrangements have fostered much truly multi-disciplinary work, linking different levels of analysis in a unified science.

The Cost of Graduate School
Figuring out how to pay for graduate school is, you certainly know, one of the biggest obstacles of getting in. Professional graduate degrees are becoming more expensive.
- The average annual tuition for law school exceeds twenty thousand dollars.
- To attend a private law school, the cost is about thirty thousand dollars.
- Medical school is even more expensive.
- The average cost of earning non-professional degrees is nearing twenty thousand dollars annually.
Of course, there are more costs for college than just tuition. You need to take into consideration the costs of books, housing, and living. There are three main ways of financing graduate school: yourself, federally-provided student loans, and the graduate school itself.
It is best for you if you can personally finance attending grad school. You can use your savings, ask your parents for help, or work and save your money before attending grad school. If you are married, your spouse can help you cover living costs as well as school costs. You can also work part-time during the school year, or between semesters.
Federal Loans and Work-Study
Many graduate schools as well as associated universities have work study programs that receive some Federal funds. If you take on a work-study program, you do not have to pay any loans. No matter what loan or work-study you do, always
apply early and do not put off applying. View our Financial Aid Sheet to learn more.
You can also check out these links:
Graduate School Assistantships and Fellowships/Scholarships
Whether you receive an assistantship, fellowship, or scholarship, you never have to repay. With an assistantship, you assist the professors with coursework, lab, or whatever else they do. A fellowship and a scholarship are virtually the same; fellowship simply sounds better than scholarship. A fellowship, or scholarship, is a cash reward that covers the cost for one-four years, and some can be renewed if you can demonstrate that you deserve a renewal.

PANAMA CITY - Pair the right types of wine and food in good company in a recipe for simple summertime pleasures as daylight shines into evening.
"You can drink any white wine until sunset. After that, you need to be very selective to pair it with your food," said Bill Holland, who owns Somethin's Cookin' in
Bill noted red wine sales at the gourmet cooking shop again have dropped 30 percent with the onset of summer. As more wine drinkers seek something light and refreshing, be careful not to serve the wine too cold.
"I only propose chilling wine 8 to 12 percent, because the more you chill it, the less of the flavor of the wine comes through," he said. "It's like cold food — it may satisfy the craving in your stomach, but it definitely doesn't taste like it does when it's hot."
"Pinot Grigio is slightly sweeter than a Sauvignon Blanc and a little less acidic and would go with shrimp, lobsters and crab best. Most fish go back to Chardonnay," Bill added.
Cliff Sheffield of OPICI Wines, one of Somethin's Cookin's main suppliers, said the Sauvignon Blancs from
When it comes to pairing the different types of wine with food, hosts should contrast or complement the

Cat's perfect pairing is a
produced in the same region.
"Chenin Blanc is the only type of varietals that can be any type of wine, a regular wine, to drink with cheese or a sparkling wine or dessert wine. Chenin Blanc has many faces, capabilities," Cat explained. "I love it, though a lot of people don't know about it. It's also really good with almost all summer fare — raw oysters, Caprese salad; it's light and fruity and won't overpower those ingredients. It will make tomatoes taste really fresh and cheese even creamier."
For a fun take on Caprese for outdoor parties at their house, the Meeks take skewers and add a repeating pattern of fresh mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes and a little basil on each one.
"That's summer in a nutshell," said Cat, who also likes to serve grilled vegetables with homemade aioli and sausage — "finger foods."
While a Sauvignon Blanc would contrast with creamy, buttery cheese, a Chardonnay would complement the

Figs or fig jam and
"When you do wine and cheese, typically the accompaniments are pretty important to it. Roasted cashews or almonds and dried fruit, such as apricots or cranberries, go very well to balance out the palate," Chef Mike said. "Typically we don't serve cheese with crackers, but with toast points or baguette chips."
To roast cashews, pecans or almonds: Mix one tablespoon of oil to a half pound of nuts, sprinkle them with a little kosher or sea salt and bake at 350 degrees for five minutes, "just enough to bring the oils out of the nuts."
If you are overwhelmed with choices for wine and cheese pairings, Cat
"When all else fails, I tell people always have a cheddar, blue and goat and one or two random cheeses," she said. "You wouldn't want to over-do it by having a wine for every cheese. If you just want to pick one white and one red, I would say do a Chenin Blanc and a

True gamers understand that as long as console continue to become the forefront of gaming platform it will eventually holding back the ultimate potential of PC graphics processing unit in a few years time.
Despite the launch of Xbox One and PS 4, i'm really worry the PC gaming platform will still suffer and view as third class citizen such as diluted game compare to baby console regardless of similar architecture than ever.
PC 4K gaming will not run natively and in lieu of upscale it to match the monitor resolution. I hope many people can just flat out abandon the console once and for all to focus on PC platform to fully unleash the power of graphics processing unit.
I think is redundant to list out any reason why PC is far superior to console, think of it from a different perspective and imagine a world that console no longer exist and the only way to play a game is use the PC Platform. The Game Publisher don't have the option to create exclusive game for a specify platform.
Isn't it splendid?
We no longer need to make ourself look like a fool and waste a chunk of cash spending a substitute platform that literally function exactly the same.
I'm not trying to convince anyone abandon PS4 or XONE, the logic is there and in order to move on and prevent stagnant technology in gaming world and life after console we need to sacrifice something that we come to accustomed for so long 7 generation of console and make sure it doesn't impediment to the future of gaming. Because we love it so much and the only way to move on and simplify the gaming industry is to solely focus on one platform that will carry it into the next century. Developers can immediately develop and design all the game at native 4K from scratch without worrying that the machines unable to handle it. This will lead to rapid advancement in gaming technology because >90% of gamers is using High End Graphic Processing Unit. As a result, developers can also save the hassle of porting the game to another diluted platform. We had learned the lesson of seven generation console provided more issues than seamless experience for PC GAMERS
This is a brilliant way to end exclusive game and unite gamers into one online network. The gaming world will look like so much more advance and robust with tablet act as an assistants to stream all the games from the PC if you are on the go to travel or lying at the beach with the advent LTE Advance (True 4G) it won't be much of a problem.
The future is already here but we will stagnant playing games at native 1080p for a very long time because of 8th generation console.

Power is routed through either a six speed manual or a five speed automatic transmission. What comes as a surprise to many who drive the Mazda 3 is the manners it exhibits on the road. It has quick and communicative steering, combined with good grip and excellent body motion control. Though riders used to the softly sprung ride of a Honda or Toyota many find the 3's ride a bit too firm.

Mitch Ross handled Ray Lewis' public berating the way the Ravens linebacker has said he handles difficult times.
"That stuff with Ray?" Ross said Wednesday. "I've put that in God's hands."
Ross co-owns SWATS, the company that, according to Sports Illustrated, provided Lewis with deer antler spray and other supplements and apparel to aid in his recovery from a torn triceps.
Lewis aggressively denied using the SWATS products again Wednesday from New Orleans, where the Ravens are preparing to play the 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday and painted Ross as an opportunist with "no credibility." He said Ross' effort to connect Lewis to SWATS constituted "the devil's work."
Reached late Wednesday at the Fultondale, Ala., facility that serves as a gym and home base for SWATS, which stands for Sports with Alternatives to Steroids, Ross reiterated his disappointment in Lewis' failure to acknowledge his use of the products. And while Ross vigorously backed what he sells, he was reluctant to speak further of his relationship with Lewis.
Also Wednesday, an expert on performance-enhancing drugs became the third source to tell The Baltimore Sun that deer antler spray could not carry the banned hormone some sellers say makes it effective.
"There's no way to deliver insulin-like growth factor one in a spray," said Charles Yesalis, who built a reputation as one of the foremost voices on PEDs during a 20-year career as a health and sport science professor at Penn State. "That's just nonsense that the people marketing it say so doofuses buy and use it."
An NFL spokesman did not answer an email message asking whether the league believes deer antler spray transmits IGF-1 to the human body but did acknowledge that there is no test in place to monitor players for elevated levels of the hormone. This means Lewis is embroiled in a controversy over a substance that does not appear to be an impermissible drug and that the NFL cannot test him for anyway.
Ross, 45, a former male stripper, has admitted having used and sold steroids but says finding religion helped him discover the science that backs the natural products he has pushed since the mid-2000s. He eventually connected with elite athletes and coaches, including then-Ravens assistant Hue Jackson.
"Do you think I gain the confidence of a smart guy like Hue Jackson without doing my homework and having products that work?" Ross asked. (Jackson, now an assistant with the Cincinnati Bengals, apologized Wednesday night for introducing Lewis to Ross.)
Ross says Jackson invited him to the Ravens facility in early 2008 and allowed him to distribute his products there. Ross says that led to a relationship with Lewis, whom he says he has helped after many of the star linebacker's recent injuries.
Lewis has not denied speaking with Ross hours after tearing his triceps in an Oct. 14 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Ross provided a tape of that conversation to Sports Illustrated.
Recording a phone conversation without the consent of all parties involved is illegal in Maryland, but it is not clear where Ross and Lewis were when the call took place.
Asked to confirm that Lewis spoke to him after sustaining a potentially career-threatening injury, Ross hesitated. Upon being reached, he insisted on reading aloud The Baltimore Sun's previous article about him so he could see whether he was quoted accurately.
"I'm learning there's a lot of people who want to twist my words," he said.
Back on the topic of Lewis, he spoke carefully.
"If I don't have credibility, then do you really ..." he said, trailing off. "I'm not going to call the man a liar during the week of the Super Bowl."
Yesalis finds the focus on what he considers a gimmick product such as deer antler spray comical, considering that the NFL has yet to implement a blood test for human growth hormone or related performance-enhancing drugs. Use of those products is rampant, he said, as evidenced by the physical size of today's athletes.
"I have doubts every time I watch an NFL game or Division I college football game," he said during a phone interview from his home in Lynchburg, Va. "Be realistic. God didn't change the recipe. Look at the last 20, 30 years. You look at the size of the athletes and the percent of body fat they have. I would love to hear a nutritionist explain how better eating or gains in strength training produced that."
Yesalis, who earned his doctorate from the Johns Hopkins University's School of Public Health in 1975 and has testified before Congress three times on PEDs and worked as consultant for the NFL and NCAA, among others, also doubts the effectiveness of tests for growth hormone.

Above: Party pics from Dean Morrison's movie premiere, A Dingo's Tale.
Dingo's movie was epic! Full of heavy life experiences and amazing surfing, it's a must see. It premiered last night down at Kirra Surf, right near Kirra the surf spot, a place where Dingo's has put on some of the finest displays of tube riding ever seen. As usual, the Corona's were flowing freely and beautiful people packed the parking lot. The movie itself was played on the side of the building, which made for a cool (and really large format) viewing experience.
Above: Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew gets the crowd revved up with some Dingo stories…
The surf has finally kicked up a bit, spurred in part by a howling southerly wind that feels like it wants to blow our hotel over. The ladies of the Roxy Pro are currently shredding apart perfect little Snapper—it looks soooo fun. Stay tuned, we might actually post surf photos soon here…

Like the broader economy, the collector-car market rolls up and down; and like most economic things these days, it's been on the down cycle for the last three or four years. Generally speaking, prices are off their peaks-and, in the case of some "headline" cars, they're off significantly.
Sticking with the economic analogies, Corvettes have traditionally been the blue-chip stocks of the collector-car world, with regular-production big-block Stingrays and sharks always a safe bet to equal or better a buyer's original investment. The same went for '57 Fuelies and other "exceptional" C1s. Pedigreed race cars, factory concepts, and extremely rare production models, such as L88 cars, have been the riskier bets, with high six-figure-and occasionally seven-figure-prices commanded for some.
So, while the riskiest of investments in the economy took the biggest hit in recent years, it's not surprising to learn the cars that were the center of the wildest price run-ups suffered significantly. And just as some entrepreneurs and businesses do better in a recession, many buyers are taking advantage of the market's "correction" period to snap up Corvettes, classics, and muscle cars at prices that have not been seen for a decade.
That's exactly what we saw at a Mecum auction in Indianapolis we attended recently. Savvy buyers were using the market conditions to drive great deals. We wouldn't suggest that $150,000 for an L88 Corvette is cheap, but compared with the prices of only a few years ago, it represented a significant discount. We also found some pretty steady prices for those blue-chip big-blocks. They're soldiering on, trading at relatively steady prices, although discounted a bit from a few years ago. One thing is clear: Discerning collectors are still willing to pay top dollar for the right car.
The top seller of the event was a Bill Mitchell-styled Corvette show car that hammered sold for $925,000 (more than $1 million was bid for a rare '69 Trans Am convertible, but, incredibly, it didn't meet the seller's reserve). Other marquee muscle cars crossed the block and sold for perhaps 20-25 percent less than they would have in, say, 2007.
It's easy to see that the buyer of that one-of-a-kind Corvette bought it at a discount, as compared with a few years ago, but it will likely take a number of years for the collector-car market to recover significantly enough to make a marked profit on it-if that's what the new owner intends.
So it seems we're enjoying an unmistakable buyer's market, but it's a hard time if you're a seller who bought at the pricing peak several years ago. The decision must be made whether to hold onto the car and try to recoup your investment a few years from now, or cut your losses and sell for less than you paid. That's not as easy a decision as it seems, as some collectors were swept up in other parts of the distressed economy-real estate, anyone?-and must sell their collector cars to satisfy other financial obligations.
Encouragingly, we found signs of stabilizing prices, meaning the prices may be off their peaks, but probably won't erode further. It also looks as if it will be a while before prices make significant climbs again. One of the reasons for that is the sheer number of investment-quality muscle cars on the market. During the market's ascension, starting about a decade ago, a great many vehicles were treated to rotisserie-style restorations because it was possible to recoup that large investment and make a profit.
To put it simply, there are unlimited numbers of excellent-condition, concours-style cars to pick from. Big-block midyear Corvette roadsters are everywhere, and it seems as if every Hemi-powered car ever built has been restored.
Perhaps because of the erosion in prices for marquee cars, the prices of clones-also known by a number of other euphemisms, such as recreations, tributes, and so on-are way down. The same seems to go for non-numbers-matching cars and modifieds. Again, however, one man's pain is another's pleasure, as enthusiasts looking for a great deal on cars they can drive and enjoy will find plenty of clean, show-worthy machines at prices that are generally less than the build cost.

A hammer is a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object. The most common uses are for driving nails, fitting parts, and breaking up objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose, and vary widely in their shape and structure. Usual features are a handle and a head, with most of the weight in the head. The basic design is hand-operated, but there are also many mechanically operated models for heavier uses.
The hammer is a basic tool of many professions, and can also be used as a weapon. By analogy, the name hammer has also been used for devices that are designed to deliver blows, e.g. in the caplock mechanism of firearms.
The opposite side of a ball as in the ball-peen hammer and the cow hammer. Some upholstery hammers have a magnetized appendage, to pick up tacks. In the hatchet the hammer head is secondary to the cutting edge of the tool.
In recent years the handles have been made of durable plastic or rubber. The hammer varies at the top, some are larger than others giving a larger surface area to hit different sized nails and such,
Popular hand-powered variations include:
Mechanically-powered hammers often look quite different from the hand tools, but nevertheless most of them work on the same principle. They include:
In professional framing carpentry, the hammer has almost been completely replaced by the nail gun. In professional upholstery, its chief competitor is the staple gun.
In the swing that precedes each blow, a certain amount of kinetic energy gets stored in the hammer's head, equal to the length D of the swing times the force f produced by the muscles of the arm and by gravity. When the hammer strikes, the head gets stopped by an opposite force coming from the target; which is equal and opposite to the force applied by the head to the target. If the target is a hard and heavy object, or if it is resting on some sort of anvil, the head can travel only a very short distance d before stopping. Since the stopping force F times that distance must be equal to the head's kinetic energy, it follows that F will be much greater than the original driving force f — roughly, by a factor D/d. In this way, great strength is not needed to produce a force strong enough to bend steel, or crack the hardest stone.
The concept of putting a handle on a weight to make it more convenient to use may well have led to the very first weapons ever invented. The club is basically a variant of a hammer. In the Middle Ages, the war hammer became popular when edged weapons could no longer easily penetrate some forms of armour.
In Norse Mythology, Thor, the god of thunder and lightning, wields a hammer named Mjolnir. Many artifacts of decorative hammers have been found leading many modern practitioners of this religion to often wear reproductions as a sign of their faith.

Panama has a relatively new port, Colon 2000, on the Caribbean side, and is planning to build a new port on the Pacific that can serve as both a homeport and port of call, situated near Panama City.
With the increase in cargo traffic, Cristobal is no longer used for cruise calls, Orillac explained. However, ships can anchor off Flamenco Island at the entrance to the canal and tender.
Orillac said he expects contractions of a new port to get under way later this year. He can envision new itineraries being develop to Central and South America, broadening the cruise products and lengthening the season.
Colon 2000
Colon 2000 is home-porting ships for Royal Caribbean International and Pullmantur, sourcing passengers locally as well as from other Latin America countries and South America.
"Panama is one of the most connected countries in the world," Orillac said. "We have airlift to more than 60 foreign destinations."
While both calls and turnarounds are beneficial, he said home porting allows passengers to stay over either before or after their cruise. With Pullmantur sailing weekly on Fridays, passengers tend to spend the weekend and go shopping, according to Orillac, who noted that Panama has the second, largest duty-free zone in the world.
"Shopping here is less expensive than anywhere else in the world," he added.
In addition to shopping and nightlife, the main attraction is the Panama Canal. There are shore excursions whereby passengers can spend up to a full day in the canal system. There are also city tours and visits to an Indian reservation—one of the authentic communities of seven Indian tribes in the region that still live off the land.
A new museum is slated to open this year in Panama City, focused on how Panama has emerged from the Ocean, Orillac said, and now licks the world through the canal.
Investments Grade
This year, Panama expects to grow its cruise traffic 5 to 10 percent above the 350,000 passengers received last year.
The key is the connectivity, Orillac underscored, "Royal Caribbean will embark 85 percent of its passengers in Cartagena. Even for the Colombians," he said, "it is easier to fly to Panama. We have direct flights from many areas in Colombia."
According to Orillac, Panama is the only country in Latin America with an investment grade rating by Standard & Poor's and Moody's. The Panamanian economy is projected to grow at a rate of 9 percent this year.
