Discussion of some of the first log building tools you will need to build a log home — debarking spu...
Simply by covering your potatoes with ample mulch, storing potatoes in the ground is not only possib...
This particular spud's not meant for eatin' ... though it certainly peels nearly as well.
If you're contemplating any kind of cordwood or log construction, you'll eventually be faced with the knotty problem of debarking your timber ...and using a tool illsuited to the task can reap you a world of frustration—smack at the start of your project!
Now, we've made a log spud or two here at MOTHER, and to be truthful, some couldn't peel the skin off a grape ...but Eco-Village staffer Rick Compton knocked one together some time ago (in preparation for erecting our log woodcrafts shop) that made the job at hand seem almost easy. It's similar in design to a bark peeler detailed in a book by R.D. Arcand entitled Log Building Tools & How to Make Them (currently out of print but possibly available through a reference library), but Compton's version is somewhat easier to make than that one and, we suspect, functions just as well.
The tool's built a bit on the heavy side to handle both pine and thicker-skinned logs, and consists of nothing more than a section of big-car or pickup-truck leaf spring ...a hunk of 1-1/4" Schedule 40 pipe ...an old shovel handle ...and a 20d spike.
If you want to try your hand at making this model, first cut an 8"-long piece of heavy spring with a torch, then heat one end of the blade bar to a dull red. While it's cooling, hammer the tip to a taper so the edges splay out, then set the bar aside to let it give up its heat to the air. Don't quench it in water.
Next, locate a 6" length of 1-1/4" black iron pipe, and drill a 1/4" hole through it about an inch from one end. With that done, temporarily slip your shovel handle into the socket, lay the cooled bar on top of a sample log, and place the neck of the tool alongside the leaf, gripping the handle at its end with your arm straight down at your side to establish a comfortable working height. Have someone mark the side of the pipe so you'll know at which angle to cut it and then do precisely that, leaving a small shoulder for the rear of the bar to butt against. (If you prefer to skin your timbers on short V-notched logs, remember to adjust the joint angle accordingly.)
Finally, weld the neck to the bar, drive the handle into the socket, and—after drilling a small pilot hole—lock the handle in place by hammering a 1-3/4" length of the spike through the bore and peening it over. Sharpen the tool's business end by wet-grinding it.
With a long shovel handle, the spud's actually comfortable to use. If you want a more positive grip and don't mind stooping a little, consider using a D-grip handle, such as one from a spade. In either case, the slight curvature in the spring will let you "rock" over knots ...and with the husky leaf, it'll seem like you're always debarking up the right tree!

Titles similar to Knuffle Bunny Too
Knuffle Bunny returns, but this time he has a doppelganger. Trixie is off to school, and things are going well enough—until she notices that Sonja is holding her own Knuffle Bunny. Arrgh! The afternoon results in dueling bunnies, which are confiscated by the teacher. Happily, they are returned at the end of the day, but at 2:30 a.m. realization hits: the bunny Trixie is sleeping with is not her own. Despite parental protestations, phone calls are placed, bunnies are exchanged, and the girls, bonded during the trauma, become best friends. This has much of the charm of Knuffle Bunny (2004), a Caldecott Honor Book, but the premise is stretched here: the middle-of-the-night meeting is energetic, but it seems overplayed. As in the previous title, the slice-of-life artwork is smashing. Willem's cartoon-style art, set against crisp black-and-white photos of New York City interiors and exteriors, catches every bit of the plentiful emotion. Keen-eyed kids will have fun keeping track of the Knuffle Bunny as he's lost, then found again.

Just some random opinion on how to promote more ads on facebook. I think facebook should have a system that asks our interest ads, you know, like for example, cars or houses etc and then after that, they could show small adds beside our profile so that we could check it if we are really interested. This solution might sound so childish. But again, I can't help posting comment, a disease I got from using facebook. ;)
"ZUCKERBERG'S rocket, ready for lift-off" was the title of our article about Facebook's upcoming initial public offering (IPO) that ran in last week's issue of The Economist. As the first day of trading in its shares, expected to be May 18th, approaches, the rocket's payload is getting bigger. On May 16th the social network revealed it was boosting the number of shares available by 25%, to 421m, on the back of increased demand. On May 17th it set the price of its shares at $38 each, valuing the company at $104 billion. The IPO is expected to raise more than $18 billion, making it one of the biggest in American corporate history.
The fact that Facebook's offering is already said to be heavily oversubscribed is remarkable for a couple of reasons. One is that it is taking place against the backdrop of a turbulent global economy, with chaos in the euro-zone helping to depress stockmarkets almost everywhere. The other is that doubts continue to be raised about the company's ability to generate huge growth in its core online advertising business, which accounts for more than four-fifths of its revenues. Yet this will be essential if the firm is to justify its lofty valuation.
The bullish case for Facebook rests on the belief that the company can hit a mother-lode of ad dollars by finding new advertising formats in the same way that, say, Google has minted money from text ads placed alongside search results. But some companies are clearly not convinced by the social network's efforts so far. On May 15th a report in the Wall Street Journal revealed that General Motors (GM), one of the biggest advertisers in America, had decided to stop advertising with the service because the advertisements the car maker had run were having insufficient impact on consumers.
Interestingly, GM intends to keep promoting itself via its own pages on Facebook, which it does not pay for. Some advertising-industry insiders say this is a common trend. Firms buy some ads on the social network to promote their presence there, but once they have convinced enough people to become "fans" of their pages through such activity, they shut off the ad spigot and concentrate their efforts on creating content for their existing fan-base.
The GM news, which could not have come at a worse time for Facebook, follows on the heels of a study which shows that click-through rates on Facebook's display ads are still way below those run on Google. Worse, according to a new poll commissioned by AP and CNBC, more than half (57 percent) of Facebook users surveyed said they never click on ads or other sponsored content when they use the site.
If the social network wants to boost revenues it may be tempted to use more persuasive—and potentially more invasive—ad formats. But that could alienate its users. A think-piece just published by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group, is a salutary reminder that concerns over privacy threaten to hold back the growth of an emerging online economy.
Such concerns do not seem to have deterred institutional investors, who will dominate the IPO. Many are no doubt planning to offload some of their shares to keen retail investors after trading begins, giving a boost to Facebook's share price in early trading. A similar "pop" has occurred in a number of high-profile web IPOs over the past year.
Taking advantage of the hype around the IPO, many of Facebook's backers are already planning to part with more shares than originally planned. For instance, Peter Thiel, a well-known Silicon Valley financier, is offering 16.8m shares, more than twice the amount of stock he had initially intended to sell. Some big investment companies, such as Russia's DST Global and Accel Partners, an American venture-capital firm, have also boosted the number of shares they are willing to part with. Those who buy them will have to hope that once it has left its IPO launch-pad, Facebook can quickly come up with a business model that justifies a stratospheric share price.

GameStop has announced their intentions to launch an Android-based gaming tablet next year complete with a custom controller. The plans were made official by company president Tony Bartel in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
GameStop has been contemplating a gaming tablet for several months and it seems the company is making good on those plans. According to This Is My Next, GameStop has found an OEM tablet that fits their vision and has been testing the unit for about two weeks.
The tablet is said to run local gaming apps and have the ability to stream console titles using their own cloud gaming division based on the acquisition of Spawn Labs and Impulse, which was announced in April. The device itself likely wouldn't be groundbreaking but the planned wireless controller could add a whole new dimension to tablet gaming.
"If we can work with our partners and the OEMs and they come up with a great tablet that is enabled with a great gaming experience and coupled with a Bluetooth controller, then there's no need to go out and develop our own," Bartel told CNBC in an interview earlier this year.
GameStop captured headlines last month when the company ordered store employees to open and remove coupon codes from the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution that would allow buyers to play the game for free via cloud-based streaming service OnLive. The company defended their decision by claiming they do not promote competitive services without a formal partnership. Square Enix, the game's publisher, issued a statement on their website admitting they didn't make GameStop aware of the coupon code and that they respect the rights of GameStop to make the final decision on the content of products they sell and to adjust them as they see fit.
There's no price point or release date set for GameStop's tablet, although we can expect it to launch sometime in 2012.

God help us all...
...yes because what mobile gaming really needs is another platform.....
What mobile gaming needs is a non gimmicky handheld, not more god damn touch screens.
Actually, thats what actually gaming needs, except without motion stuff, instead of touch screens. Well, i guess the Wii U brings touch screens into consoles too. god help us all indeed.
Another sign of the coming Apocalypse... When I heard Ozzy Osbourne singing a Bee Gees tune, I knew the end was coming. This just proves it's closer than I thought...

It's not the OEMs' fault, it's just that Android is a very inefficient OS.

Seattle mayor calls for tightened gun controls in wake of shooting
on December 14, 2012 @ 4:55 pm (Updated: 5:12 pm - 12/14/12 )Seattle city leaders held a press conference Friday afternoon to call for tighter gun controls in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
Mayor Mike McGinn called the massacre a "tragedy beyond words," and asked the state legislature to respond with meaningful reforms.
He urged lawmakers to close the so-called "Gun Show Loophole," which allows some weapons to be bought without a license or proper paperwork.
"They could give us more authority in the city to take action, and we have asked for that authority," he added. "They could fund, instead of as they've been doing, cutting funding for support for those that are mentally ill or unstable."
Mayor McGinn was joined by Seattle Police Chief John Diaz, who said his officers are trained annually to respond to mass shootings.
"It's unfortunate that we in law enforcement have to train the way we do each year on rapid intervention," he said. "We have to be ready in case a situation like this occurs."
Chief Diaz echoed Mayor McGinn in calling for tighter gun controls, saying the country's "gun culture" needs to change.

NAIROBI, May 7 (Reuters) - Kenya's central bank cut its benchmark lending rate by 100 basis points to 8.5 percent, resuming an easing path after pausing during the elections in March.
Following are analyst and trader reactions:
'It's more than the 50 basis points I had anticipated. This shows there was enough room for them to cut the rate and they're pushing on the mantle to commercial banks and the private sector. They are saying the key now is growth and they are not worried that much about inflation.
'The way they see it is that there are some good (dollar)flows coming into the country and their reserve level is strong to defend the currency. If there is any pressure on the shilling we may see them come in to sell dollars and mop up more liquidity using repos.'

Born in Szeged, Hungary, on February 15, 1892, Nickolas Muray moved to the United States in 1913. As a photographer, he was acclaimed for his portraits of celebrities, as well as the images he created for high-end advertisements and magazine spreads. Muray was also an Olympic fencer, bringing home a bronze medal in 1932. He was romantically involved with Mexican artist Frida Kahlo for many years.
Early Life
Born in Szeged, Hungary, on February 15, 1892, famed photographer Nickolas Muray is known for his commercial images and for his numerous portraits of some of the 20th century's best-known performers, including Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire. Muray was also a championship-winning fencer who played on the U.S. team at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games. The son of a postal worker, he studied sculpture for a time before leaving school to go to work as an engraver.
After spending a few years in Germany, Muray moved to the United States in 1913, knowing about 50 words of English and carrying an International Engravers Certificate. He settled in New York City, finding work as a color separator and engraver for a Brooklyn company. In his own time, Muray began to study photography. Using a shared studio in New York's Greenwich Village neighborhood, he started to build his own photography business. Landing his first big break, Muray sold a portrait of actress Florence Reed to Harper's Bazaar in 1920.
Celebrity Photographer
Nearly overnight, Muray became an in-demand celebrity photographer, handling assignments from many leading publications. In 1926, Vanity Fair sent him to Europe to photograph the likes of artist Claude Monet and writer George Bernard Shaw. Muray also captured many other famous faces for other projects, ranging from dancer and choreographer Martha Graham to Presidents Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Working with public relations manager Edward L. Bernays, he created many iconic commercial images for Bernays' clients, such as Lucky Strike cigarettes. In 1930, he was given a contract with the publishing company behind the Ladies Home Journal, which resulted in his creation of the first natural color commercial photograph to appear in a U.S. magazine the following year.
Relationship With Frida Kahlo
Around this time, Muray met Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The two developed an on- and off-again relationship that spanned a decade. It outlasted his third marriage to Monica O'Shea, whom he married in 1930. In 1937, Monica divorced Muray on the grounds of cruelty according to a report in The New York Times.
During most of their relationship, Kahlo was married to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera who also had a number of extramarital affairs. When Kahlo divorced Rivera in 1939, Muray hoped that he would be able to marry her.

ADHD is an increasingly common diagnosis among children, with an estimated prevalence of about 5% worldwide. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed than girls, and about 66% of children with ADHD receive medication for the condition. Characterized by impairment in attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior, ADHD sometimes goes hand-in-hand with other problems like oppositional-defiant disorder, which puts children at risk for conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder later in life.
While the cause is not completely understood, there seems to be a genetic component, and some experts contend that environmental factors like diet can play a role. Knowing how to identify the offending foods is a challenge, though, and parents looking to blood tests for the answer may be missing out on pinpointing the foods that really cause a problem, says a new study published in the Lancet.
This study looked at 100 children between ages four and eight who had been diagnosed with ADHD. Half of them followed a strict elimination diet comprising mostly meat, rice, pears, vegetables, and water. Parents of the other half (the control group) were given healthy eating advice for their children to follow. Blood samples were taken at the beginning and end of this part of the trial and tested for antibodies to 270 different foods. (This test is sometimes used to help identify hidden food sensitivities; it is not the same one used to test for true allergic reactions, like those to peanuts.)
After five weeks, those children who improved on the elimination diet entered a food challenge phase: They were systematically given three foods to which they showed little sensitivity (based on the antibody test) and three to which they were apparently sensitive, and changes in their behavior were recorded.
While on the elimination diet, 64% of the children improved with a substantial relapse in behavior in 63% during the challenge phase. The relapses were not related to antibody scores, though, "suggesting that the use of [these tests] to identify which foods are triggering ADHD is not advisable," said lead researcher, Lidy Pelsser.
While more studies are needed to confirm these results, a supervised elimination diet is an inexpensive, natural option that may potentially help millions of children and families affected by ADHD. A knowledgeable practitioner can help sort out which foods are most likely to cause a reaction, making the process safer and much less tedious.

Only about one-fourth of middle-school and high school students in the United States write at a proficient level, according to a new report on the National Assessment of Educational Progress 2011 writing test.
Beside showing that a large majority of U.S. students are not proficient in writing, test results highlighted a gender gap in writing proficiency. Female students scored much higher than males at both grade levels, revealing a gender gap for writing much larger than the better-known mathematics gender gap that favors male students.
Gender gap: A representative sample of 24,100 eighth-graders from 950 schools, and 28,100 12th-graders from 1,220 schools took the test. For part of the report's survey data, students, teachers and school officials were asked how writing is taught and whether computers are available to students. The surveys showed that 53 percent of girls considered writing a favorite activity, but only 35 percent of boys answered that writing is a favorite activity. Girls also reported writing more than boys, both for homework and on their own.
"If girls are writing more, that could very well account for them doing better on the assessment. We do better at things we practice," said education analyst Sue Pimentel, leader of the team that created the new common core state standards for English language arts and literacy that will be implemented in 37 states over the next two years. The new standards are designed to create a more rigorous and consistent standard for education in schools across the U.S.
Disappointing scores: Twenty-four percent of students at both grades eight and 12 performed at the proficient level, meaning they were able to accomplish the communicative purpose of their writing. Fifty-four percent of eighth-graders and 52 percent of 12th-graders performed at the basic level, showing partial mastery of fundamental skills at each grade level. At both grade levels, only 3 percent of students performed at an advanced level.
"It's troubling, given that success in our economy is increasingly based on knowledge and information and the ability to communicate effectively in writing," Pimentel said.
The test results were broken down by ethnicity, gender and school location. At grade eight, average writing scores were higher for Asian students than for other racial/ethnic groups. At grade 12, average writing scores were higher for white students, Asian students and students of two or more races than for black, Hispanic and American Indian/Alaskan Native students.
Students taking the test were prompted to write samples geared for various purposes and audiences, such as writing to persuade, to explain and to convey experiences.
"The assessment tasks reflected writing situations common to both academic and workplace settings and asked students to write for several purposes and communicate to different audiences," according to NAEP's report. "The results of the 2011 writing assessment offer a new opportunity to understand the ability of eighth- and 12th-grade students to make effective choices in their writing and allow for insight into the role and impact of technology on writing education and performance."
Processing words: The test was the nation's first large-scale writing assessment taken by computer. The new version was designed to keep pace with trends in the academic and business worlds by allowing students to use word processing software, including spell-checking and a thesaurus.
"All serious writing today, whether in business, the professions or scholarly work, is done with computers or other digital media. That is what writing is, said Mark Warschauer, associate dean at the University of California Irvine's School of Education. "It makes no more sense to test writing without computers than it does to offer a driver's test using horses and buggies."

Spoofing a Superyacht at Sea

James said on Aug. 27, 2013 at 11:03 a.m.
With advancements in technology, "Spoofing" could be circumvented if they devised some way to determine an authentic satellite signal as opposed to a spoofed one. Perhaps some kind of digital authentication signal sent right along with the coordinates signal. The idea that a signal to a ship of any kind could be spoofed is most definitely an appealing idea to the criminal element. It would be nothing for pirates to spoof say a cruise liner into an area where they could board the ship and systematically rob everyone on board. A frightful thought indeed! -
Peter said on Aug. 25, 2013 at 12:35 p.m.
It gives a head start to pirates should they learn to spoof the boats. Just imagine what could happen if techniques like this one were used by some crazed Somali pirates.
