Patient Cox money will let WAXN keep up fight
- Erik Spanberg
- Staff Writer
The deep pockets of Cox Broadcasting are letting independent station WAXN-TV make moves other money-losing start-ups can't afford, including taking a run at the Charlotte Hornets TV package.
But while profits are elusive, Cox is eyeing bigger gains: higher-profile syndicated fare and someday buying the station from partner Kannapolis Television Corp. if federal ownership rules are relaxed.
WAXN, which has been marketed and operated by WSOC-TV parent Cox in partnership with Kannapolis Television since 1996, generates $1.5 million to $2 million annually. Cox has invested $3 million in start-up and improvements -- and expects to spend $600,000 annually on promotions and marketing. A profit is unlikely before 2000.
"This is the kind of thing that brings a lot of risk, but it also brings a lot of potential upside," says Bruce Baker, WSOC general manager and a major player in shaping WAXN strategy. "Cox has been very supportive from the beginning, and they realize this isn't something that happens overnight."
Industry experts say the station faces many challenges, principally competition with independents WCCB-TV, WJZY-TV and WFVT-TV for ad dollars as well as the syndicated programming needed to attract viewers.
While the city's other independents have at least a partial network affiliation -- WCCB with Fox, WJZY with UPN and WFVT with Warner Bros. -- WAXN does not. Instead, it relies on a mix of reruns (M*A*S*H, Bonanza), lower-priced sports properties (University of North Carolina at Charlotte basketball, SEC football) and same-day airings of WSOC programs (Sally Jessy Raphael, Judge Judy).
Competing with more established stations for syndicated properties is tough. A prime example: Judge Judy, one of its most popular shows, will move to WCCB next fall after the Fox affiliate agreed to a hefty $14,000 weekly fee, observers say.
Industry experts expect WAXN to become increasingly aggressive in bidding for syndicated shows, in many cases leveraging WSOC first-run airings to land shows. In addition, sources say the station is planning to make a bid for the Hornets' 27-game TV package, which airs on WJZY and WFVT. The Hornets deal expires this season.
"WAXN has indicated they would like to speak to us," says Steve Martin, Hornets broadcast operations director. "But we haven't had any discussions with them. Out of deference to WJZY, we have had initial talks with them."
The Hornets don't expect a new TV deal before spring, but observers say WAXN has a chance because its independent status prevents programming conflicts.
Says Mark Conrad, WJZY/WFVT general manager: "Given the strength of their station and the fact that they're losing their only popular show, it's awful hard for me to believe they would win the Hornets. That's not cocky, it's the way it is."
With or without the Hornets, WAXN is making progress. It cites strong growth in audience share among women 25-54 as an example of its steady ascension. During the November sweeps, it captured 3% of weekday viewers 25-54 (up from 0% in 1996) from 7 to 8 p.m., according to A.C. Nielsen Co. WCCB and WJZY both garnered a 5% share. WFVT averaged 3% during the same time period.
Growth has been slower in prime time, the 8 to 11 p.m. slot. WAXN had a 1% share among viewers 25-54, up from 0% the previous year. Even so, it tied WFVT. Both trailed WSOC (7%), WBTV and WCCB (6%), WCNC-TV (5%) and WJZY (3%).
"It has a small number, but there is an audience," says Darlene Jones, president of Specialized Media Services Inc. "Their market is the local advertiser. They need to do a direct sell because agencies won't be as interested. It should be positioned to compete with radio."
WAXN's highest ad rates are an estimated $200 for a 30-second spot. But station officials say the rates are steadily increasing as the audience grows.
Mary Anne Craven, media director at Bojangles' Restaurants Inc., has been buying ad time on WAXN for more than a year. "I think they are improving," she says. "They are every bit as solid as, say, WFVT. I'll buy a station with a 1 share -- if it's priced competitively."
Others urge caution.
"With cable and other stations, it's all a numbers game," says Sue Tatge, Wray Ward Laseter media director. "If you don't have them, it's difficult no matter what you do."
Several syndicators say Cox's backing gives WAXN a chance of survival it wouldn't have otherwise. "If it didn't include Cox, I would say it didn't stand a chance," says Tim Overmyer, Southeast region vice president at Universal Television.
The station will replace Judge Judy with a court show hosted by Mills Lane, a Georgia judge and well-known boxing referee. Other programming for 1998 includes LAPD, Cops, In the Heat of the Night and a late-night talk show hosted by Meshach Taylor.

This Australian documentary, that has won praise from professionals in the field, highlights how real estate distorts the rest of the economy.

of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
the policy that the earth's natural patterns suggests. Use the eco-system's self-regulating feedback loops as a model. What then needs changing? Basically, the flow of money spent to own or use Earth (both sites and resources) must visit each of us. Our agent, government, exists to collect this natural rent via fees and to disburse the collected revenue via dividends. Doing this, we could forgo taxes on homes and earnings and subsidies of either the needy or the greedy. For more, see our web site, our pamphlet of the title above, or any of our other lit pieces; ask for our literature list.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
as unfamiliar as geo-economics. The latter is a course some universities offer that combines geography and economics. A UN newsletter, Go Between (57, Apr/May '96; thanks, Pat Aller), cited an Asian conference on geopolitics and "geoeconomics". The abbreviated term 'geonomics" is the name of an institute on Middlebury College campus and of a show on CNBC. Both entities use the neologism to mean "global economics", in particular world trade. We use geonomics entirely differently, to refer to the money people spend on the nature they use, how letting this flow collect in a few pockets creates class and poverty and assaults upon the environment, and how, on the other hand, sharing this rental flow creates equality, prosperity, and a people/planet harmony. This flow of natural rent, several trillions dollars in the US each year, shapes society and belongs to society.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
suitable for framing by Green Parties. When Greens began in Germany two decades ago, they defined themselves as neither left nor right but in front. Geonomics fits that description. The Green Parties have their Four Pillars; geonomists have four ways to apply them:
- Ecological Wisdom. Want people to use the eco-system wisely? Charge them Rent and, to end corporate license, add surcharges. To minimize these costs, people will use less Earth.
- Nonviolence. Want people to settle disputes nonviolently? Set a good example; don't levy taxes, which rely on the threat of incarceration, to take people's money. Try quid pro quo fees and dues.
- Social Responsibility. Want people to be responsible for their actions? Don't make basic choices for them by subsidizing services, addicting them to a caretaker state. Let people spend shares of social surplus.
- Grassroots Democracy. Better have grassroots prosperity. Remember, political power follows economic. Pay people a Citizens Dividend; to keep it, they'll show up at the polls, public hearings, and conventions.
the annoying habit of seeing the hand of land in almost all transactions. In geonomics we maintain the distinction between the items bearing exchange value that come into being via human effort — wealth — and those that don't — land. Keeping this distinction in the forefront makes it obvious that speculating in land drives sprawl, that hoarding land retards Third World development, that borrowing to buy land plus buildings engorges banks, that much so-called "interest" is quasi-rent, that the cost of land inflates faster than the price of produced goods and services, that over half of corporate profit is from real estate (Urban Land Institute, 1999). Summing up these analyses, geonomists offer a Grand Unifying Theory, that the flow of rent pulls all other indicators in its wake. Geonomics differs from economics as chemistry from alchemy, as astronomy from astrology.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.

I am a happily married mom with two daughters. Both of my girls are kind, smart, caring young women (top of their high school class) who also enjoy little ones. Many studies have been written lately about the positive impact of preschool on young children. Wouldn't it be great to have a preschool teacher care for your baby or preschooler? Especially someone who has an excellent track record at many preschools (my husband has moved us quite a bit for his job in research) and a great reference from a local family with five children. I also have many letters and cards from happy families of children I have taught over the years, as well as letters of recommendation from directors of the programs I have taught in. One of the bonuses of a preschool teacher working for you is that she is able to teach your children and have fun doing it! I frequently bring a special bag with me with educational toys that are age appropriate. The children always love that! And remember, babies grow quickly into toddlers. Time goes by so fast when the children are young. Before you know it, your precious baby is off to kindergarten! I can help with the whole process.
I have always considered myself a giver and someone who loves what she does. I am a smiley, dependable, organized soul who loves children (babies, too!). I am certified in CPR and First Aid. I stay current in the field of education and particularly enjoy early childhood conferences. The adjectives parents use to describe me are often "kindly", "warm", "responsible" (and fun!).

Can the switch to Daylight Saving Time Affect our Health? Sunday, March 8th marks the change to Daylight Savings Time, a sure sign that spring is right around the corner! It's important to note that time changes can have negative effects on our health, especially for older adults.
- Sleep: The days following the clock change can lead to grogginess and loss of mental acuity, which could result in mistakes with medication management and lead to falls. - Heart attack – According to a 2008 study published by researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, heart attack rates spike by about 5 % in the days after the March time change and drop in occurrence in the fall, when the clocks get turned back. - Car crash – According to Canadian research, the Monday morning immediately following the 'Spring Forward' time change there are as many as 17% more fatal car crashes than normal. Researchers speculate that the phenomenon is due to an increase in sleepy drivers, and those running late for work. The biggest problem that older adults have with daylight saving time is loss of sleep. A change in a senior's natural biological rhythms may cause an increase in disorientation and erratic behavior according to Matthew Mingrone, M.D. of EOS Sleep California centers. Tips for adjusting to daylight saving time: - Adhere to a regular sleep pattern to help keep your internal cycle on track - Stay away from sleep disrupters: caffeine, alcohol, over the counter sleep medications and naps, the days around a time change - Get some sun – sunlight helps regulate your body's natural rhythms. - Exercise – walk, jog, bike or swim – in late afternoon or early evening – second best, take a hot bath. This will raise your body temperature and gradually lower it before bed time which helps to produce sleep -inducing melatonin.

Help identifying this variety of fig
I bought this fig from a local nursery as a Alma. I just picked some ripe fruit from it and I'm thinking it's not an Alma. The fruit are a purlpe brown and average 13.4 grams/22.86 mm in size. The flesh is very sweet and of an excellant quality,and it's a light strawberry in color.
Thanks for the help!
I vote the same as first poster:
This is Celeste or seedling of Celeste.
It is very common ,that when people buy from large nursery Business ,they get it this way:Always something else!.
It could be better tasting than Celeste but the person is dissatisfied because it is not what they ordered.
I had some muslim people on a Major airline that almost started a riot,because the meat that was in their stew was pork,and almost at the destination,I notice them getting very agitated ,as they were just planing to retaliate for it.
But one of them shoed me the food,and yeas the little piece of meat in there was indeed pork.
So at the end they calmed down but I do not blame them,to be pissed off,because it is just wrong to serve them pork and insist it is not.
Hey Guys
Thanks for the quick response!
Herman:It's true that one ought to get the variety that one paid for. However, in this case, the fruit is very good, so I can't complain that much.
eden-13: heres a photo of some fruit on the bush along with the leaves.
Tho I said above that it must be a Celeste Hybrid of some sort,I also can see Why Purpleinopp said it is a Brown Turkey.
That is:The fig resemble Southern Brown Turkey,a small brown fig,very different than English Brown Turkey and California Brown Turkey ,2 cultivars that have very large fruits.
So it could very well be a Hybrid of Southern Brown Turkey.
Sorry, I probably shouldn't even be be butting in here. Just going on what I've been told from living here. The leaves and fruit look just like what grows here in almost everyone's yard, referred to as just "turkey figs." There are several different (BIG) leaves on any given tree. The fruits are slightly smaller than a ping pong ball when they start to turn purple, then shrink and get kind of puckered at the top when they're really ripe, dark purplish green. The skin peels off easily. Very sweet and sticky inside.
A picture showing a quarter or something familiar next to a fruit would probably be helpful.
Quarter, or not, those fig photos are almost works of still life art. Yum!
They don't look like any Celestes I've ever seen, either. I've not seen Celestes with that flush on them. That's not the right word. Gene just told me what it's called and I've already forgotten.
It's not fuzz I'm thinking of, it's that whitish blush that some figs and grapes get on them that I'm forgetting the term for.
Where is Gene when I need him??? I'll see if I can google it, not that it's that important. My Black Celestes get that whitish coating. Is that what you are calling fuzz, maybe?
My grandparents' figs had kind of a dull finish on them that was kind of rough, but they were almost a chestnut red in color, no striping, or shading that I recall. There may have been some, but I was too busy eating them to look at them much. The leaves were different, as well.
What do these figs look like when they are really ripe?
These figs actually tasted better than they looked in the photos. I'm still not sure what variety they are, but I'm completely satisfied with the quality of the fruit.
I don't want to risk losing this fig to the cold weather so.....I guess I'll keep the plant in a pot for a while.
That is the most important thing of all, not what the variety is so much as how good the fruit from the tree YOU have tastes. The do look good and if they are even better than they look, you have a winner, no matter what it is. Still, it's fun to know what you have for certain.
I hope it does well for you for years to come and it should if you keep it in a pot for the first years.
I'm thinking that this fig along with a Black Mission and a Texas Blue Giant will have to remain in pots due to the really cold weather we get up here in North Texas now and then. I lost a couple of in ground figs a few years ago to a really nasty cold front that came through and don't want to gamble with the three above mentioned plants.
Can you put a windbreak around the fig trees that might help them resist cold wind?
It would depend upon how cold-hardy the trees are if they would do well in the ground with protection and I don't know about any of the ones you mention.
Remember, in the hot weather--Shade those pots!
As I understand it, the three varieties of figs I mentioned aren't very cold tolerant, especially as young as they are. Maybe in a couple of years (when the plants get larger /stronger) I'll attempt to plant one or more of them in the ground. Till then, I'll keep them in pots.
Hey Guys
I think I've got the mystery solved about the variety of this fig.
Yesterday I got in touch with the nursery that sold it to me and told them what the problem was. They said they'd get back to me (I never thought I'd hear from them again). A few hours later the owner called me back to say he'd been in touch with the grower that sold them the plants. The grower said it could only be one of three varieties cause that's all he grows. The choices were Brown Turkey, Alma & Celeste. I know it's not an Alma, and pretty sure that it's not a Brown Turkey, so the logical pick would be a Celeste.
Turns out that eden13 & herman nailed it at the get go.
In any case thanks for everyone's help and/or comments.

The Guide to Google Apps Training: Part Two: How to Secure a Google Apps Domain
Datto, Inc.
Written By:
You don't have control over attempted attacks on your domain, but putting the right security systems in place means you can block access to your data and your domain. Google Apps provides users with a wide variety of customizable options to ensure that a domain is secure. Google Apps features stringent user access controls, governing how and when selected users gain access to the domain, and a disaster recovery system in order to retrieve any data compromised due to a security breach.
In this white paper, learn the basic systems and settings for a variety of security features, including development of domain recovery options, enforcement of secure sockets layer (SSL) connections, how to configure two-factor authorization for maximum mobile security, and the importance of auditing and setting long minimums for passwords. You'll also read how the Google Apps system works to create the best mobile security for your domain, and how installation of a Google Apps Device Policy can further protect your domain in case of device theft. Get information on the disaster recovery features included in the core Google Apps, and how third-party systems such as Backupify can be added to further strengthen data recovery options, ensuring that duplicate copies of documents are available. Through these controls, users can be assured that their domain data is secure.

The Grinch hated Christmas, and all its abuses,
But blamed just himself—he would make no excuses—
They told him (naïve, he had no need to doubt)
That his undersized heart—that was what it's about.

They could feast on roast beast and not throw him a bone.
The Grinch blamed himself; he'd accepted the dictum
That framed him as villain while truly the victim. [Read more…]
It took me a little while to figure out my own particular problem with what has become known as the #shirtstorm. Oh, believe me, I was and am on the side of those who saw the now-infamous shirt as problematic. And I am on the side of those who currently are insulted by it.
But… see, I used to run a daycare. I see things, as often as not, through the eyes of those who have not yet learned to be as cynical as I am.
It is all too easy to claim "free speech" from the point of view of a comfortable, privileged majority. To say "I have every right to wear this shirt"… which, while showing off an edgy sense of fashion, also happens to show off a message which will tell the next generation who is in charge and who begs for scraps. Anyway…
Twinkle, twinkle, little shirt
How I wonder how you hurt
Who is watching? Who is there?
Who expects that you might care?
Twinkle, twinkle, little shirt,
How I wonder whom you hurt.
Twinkle, twinkle, what you did,
How you change tomorrow's kid
When she asks what can be done,
Glad you had your day of fun
Twinkle, twinkle, what you did,
How you've hurt tomorrow's kid.
Twinkle, twinkle, no surprise,
Outer space was meant for guys
If she asks if she can play
Yes she can!… some other day…
Twinkle, twinkle, no surprise,
Outer space is filled with guys…
Once upon a time, it seemed,
Pure Christian was the state;
Through all of Western culture—
There is really no debate.

Headline: Gilbert school board votes to rip abortion page out of textbook
"And if thy science book offend thee
Pluck it out and cast it from thee"
Matthew 5 was quite explicit; we should cut the cancer out!
If a textbook says "abortion"
In one chapter—just a portion—
We should exorcise the demon—tear the page if there's a doubt!
Lop your hand off; squish your eye out
See, this textbook is a tryout
Will you heed the word of Jesus, and reject the things he hates?
Rip a page right from your textbook
Leave it wounded; find the next book
If the books are deemed offensive, they deserve their heathen fates!
Though the cover may say "Science"
We shall rip it, in defiance,
Cos the law imposes penalties for telling kids the truth
So we'll tear offensive pages
And defend the rock of ages
The destruction of some lessons in protection of our youth!
The folks who actually wrote the science textbook seemed to think that a discussion about reproduction should reasonably include a sentence or two on legal means of contraception. Silly them.
GILBERT, Ariz. — The Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board voted this week to redact a section on abortion from a science book used in a high school honors curriculum.
Because school board members know better than textbook authors what belongs in a science textbook.
"You would expect a discussion of abortion maybe to show up in actual sex-ed materials. That's why I didn't like abortion in a biology book that all it discusses is natural processes. There's nothing natural about abortion," said Daryl Colvin, acting Gilbert school board president.
The discussion in Gilbert was first brought up by a conservative Christian law organization called the Alliance Defending Freedom. According to board member Jill Humpherys, Alliance Defending Freedom had complained to GPS Superintendent Christina Kishimoto over the summer.
At Tuesday night's school board meeting, the board voted 3 to 2 to nix the abortion section of the book, citing a recently signed state law that says school lessons on reproduction must give preference to childbirth and adoption over abortion.
"These textbooks were written before the state law so the easiest, simplest, cheapest way to bring them into compliance with state law is to excise that section. It's only a page," Colvin said.
Not much natural about the Alliance Defending Freedom, either, but their fingerprints are all over the removal of the page.
Hey, though, for once the comments at the story are [at least mostly] thoughtful!
You think it's a toss-up?
You don't want to vote?
You think there's no difference
Or nothing of note?
You're thinking of sitting it out?
You don't see a difference
That merits attention
There's no one to vote for,
Or even to mention
You'd rather just sit home and pout?
You think it's decided?
Then go, and be vocal,
Make waves where they're needed
And vote in the local
Elections, for city and state
The national picture
Is one part of many;
The local and state races
Show us that any-
One's vote could determine our fate
You want to stay silent?
You think you're not needed?
Your view won't be counted?
Then they have succeeded,
Convincing you, give up the fight!
The truth is, you matter
In districts and states;
Your vote makes a difference
To so many fates;
So do it…, cos, frankly, it's right.

So, what did you do with your extra hour? Did you do as I did, and spend it in bed, thinking, "This is great. It feels like 8.30 but it's really half past seven. Whoopee. I've got an extra hour. I'm finally ahead. If only it was Monday"?
So, what did you do with your extra hour? Did you do as I did, and spend it in bed, thinking, "This is great. It feels like 8.30 but it's really half past seven. Whoopee. I've got an extra hour. I'm finally ahead. If only it was Monday"?
And then, did you also do as I did, which was to get up and realise, with slowly dawning dread, that there are about six different clocks in this building? There's a clock on the computer, a clock on the phone, a clock on the video, a clock on the mobile, a clock on the cooker and a clock on the wall, and they'll all need changing.
Now, where did I put the manual? And the manual, the manual, the manual and the manual? And then, before the horror of searching for half a dozen different manuals - hidden, of course, in six different locations - begins, I think, "I'll make a start with the one on the wall. It's the old-fashioned kind of clock. The kind for which you don't need a manual. All you have to do is stand on a chair, get the clock down without falling off, and run the hands back, well, manually."
And then, before so doing, I wonder what the right time is, because, although I am awash with six different clocks, they are showing six different times. So, then, I ring what was once called, charmingly, TIM but is now known, irritatingly, as 123 and hear that maddening message: "The time sponsored by Accurist... ", and then think, "What, all of it? The whole of time is sponsored by Accurist? From the dawn of creation to the present day? Well, how very nice of Accurist to sell us all watches, then."
I mean, where's the morality? You didn't get Martin Luther King saying, "I have a dream sponsored by Dunlopillo", did you? Where's it going to end? Will we have weather forecasters informing us to expect scattered showers sponsored by Gannex? Sunny periods sponsored by Sunblocks-R-Us?
Will we return home to find a note on the kitchen table? "Your flat has just been burgled by me and my mate, sponsored by Jack Straw"? Will there be announcements on TV, just before it closes down for the day: "And for manic depressives who can't cope with modern-day living for one minute longer, the whole of reality is sponsored by Exit."
Don't get me started on the subject of time. I've been known to have arguments with total strangers on the topic. They come up to me in the street and say, "Excuse me, mate, have you got the right time?"
And I say, "No. I haven't got the right time. What I have got is an approximate idea of the time. Which, by the time I've looked at my watch, computed the information and informed you of it, will then be a different time from the time when you first asked me what the right time is, or was. Do you follow my drift? Come back. I'm talking to you." Oh, yes, I'm a fun guy, me. And I wonder why I'm not invited out more often.
The temptation is to leave the clocks as they are; just wait for summer and the bit when we have to change them again, and everything will fall neatly into place. But the complications that would ensue are too dreadful to think about.
There's no way round it; I am going to have to change those clocks. So, I root around those kitchen drawers and in desks and cupboards and find those manuals. (Apart from the one that's always missing. OK, then. I'll just dump that particular clock. Into the bin with it for ever. Hooray.) And it's a slow, tiresome, irksome business, but it's done. Finally. And how long did all that take to accomplish? That's right. One hour.
Tempus fugit, they say. And I agree. Give or take a consonant or two.

Correct way for tile with baseboard
We are just starting a bathroom remodel and I'm wondering what is the preferred method of tiling with a baseboard? Does the tile go under the baseboard or butt up to it? This is probably the first of many questions I seem to have, even after reading this forum for months now. Thanks in advance for the help. Janet
Is this tiled wall with a wood baseboard? I had this a little whie ago, cue to certain reasons this is the way I did that one:
If the tile is 1/4" thick, I'll nail and glue (PL adhesive)a filler strip of 1/4" plywood right tn the wall where the baseboard will go.
I'll then tile right off the top edge of the filler strip, using the filler as my ledger board for the first course of tile.
Then the wood baseboard gets nailed off on the filler strip. It covers the strip completely so it looks like it's sitting on the tile.
A lot depends on the "look" you want to end up with. You can cut down the floor tiles and set them up as "baseboards," or you can use a traditional wood Mld. on top of the floor tiles. Your call..........
I think Janet's asking the question along the lines of "tile under or up to the vanity". If that's the case, lay all your tile first, then attach the baseboards to the wall so they cover up the edge of the tile. Way easier that way, as you don't have to worry about having perfectly matched tile cuts all along the wall.
I think Janet's asking the question along the lines of "tile under or up to the vanity". If that's the case, lay all your tile first, then attach the baseboards to the wall so they cover up the edge of the tile. Way easier that way, as you don't have to worry about having perfectly matched tile cuts all along the wall.
Either way is fine-- tile butting up to baseboards or going under. However, going under is preferrable, for a couple of reasons. First, it's a cleaner look. Cuts don't have to be as accurate, and once the baseboard goes on, it looks nice and sharp. Secondly, the joint between the tile and the wall can stay open, allowing plenty of play for expansion and contraction of the structure.
If you tile UP to the baseboard, you need to make sure your cuts are uniform. Otherwise, it'll look shabby. Also, the joint between the tile and baseboard MUST BE CAULKED. Otherwise, you risk the floor creating a phenomenon called "tenting". All it takes is 1/16" of movement from the perimeter with no give in that joint for expansion, and your floor can lliterally lift off the subfloor, peaking in the center by as much as 8". What's real fun is when it happens late at night-- it sounds like someone just shot a gun off.
LOL Bill :) i can just imagine myself bolting upright in bed - hope it never happens to me :)
this is actually a good topic... i plan to do tile as baseboard (3x12 bullnose) on top of 12x12 tile floor. both are 5/16 thick. how much space should i leave under the baseboard between the wall (drywall) & the edge of the floor tile?
I TOTALLY misread your queastion.
I read it as tileing a wall with baseboard instead of tiling a floor.
So....um....er....yup, what the other kids' wrote. I prefer to tile under the baseboard.
I have seen people tile 1/4" to 1/2" shy of the already installed baseboard then cover the transition with shoe molding. You need the right sized base to be able to get away with that, though, as you'll lose some of the baseboard's height by covering it with tile, and the addition of shoe molding can then make the base that you have look too squat.
I am tiling master bath and used cut tile as my baseboard 6x12. I used the crosshatch style spacers layed flat on new tile to space the baseboards off the floor. It looks great. You just want enough room to hold grout for stability of tile. I have a question for Mongo, I tried not to put so much thinset on back of baseboard tiles to squeeze up from behind at the top edge, do I need to caulk that top edge after grouting? It has a slight open crack from tile to drywall. Thanks, Karen

10 Tricks To Smarter Blogging Based On Your Experience
There's a blog learning curve: Your blogging results improve as your knowledge of blogging increases over time.
In manufacturing, this is called the experience curve. Based on cost behavior analysis, it was developed in the 1960s by Bruce D. Henderson and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
The 85% experience curve means that unit costs drop 15% from their original level with every doubling of output.
While based on manufacturing, these 8 experience curve elements are adapted to improve your blogging learning curve.
- Increase efficiency. Members of your blogging team gain experience so that they know how to develop, craft and present optimal posts. As a result, they're more confident and create shortcuts.
- Improve blogging with standardization and specialization. By implementing processes such as collecting post ideas, selecting images and search optimization, efficiency increases.
- Learn from others. Whether you're using growth hacking techniques or actively involved in social media, you can become a more efficient blogger. (BTW—Sign up for our weekly emailing and get 101 Blogging tips!)
- Use technology better. With experience, you gain the ability to use the blogging and related technology more productively.
- Change your resource mix. Over time, bloggers may get help and support in their blog content creation and production processes.
- Incorporate on-going testing. Bloggers continually try adding new features and approaches into their blog to see what works best.
- Leverage the power of network effects. Getting help and support from your social media community helps spread the word of your content.
- Expand shared experience. Leveraging the power of your blog content as part of a larger social media and content marketing plan to achieve your higher business goals, helps reduce costs.
Bloggers, like manufacturers, need to continually reassess their position with respect to the changes seen in new blogs, social media and key audiences.
The blogging learning curve doesn't happen by itself. Just publishing more blog posts the same way, without testing and implementing what's most effective, doesn't automatically yield improved results.
10 Tricks to smarter blogging based on your experience
Here are 10 tricks to leverage the power of your blog learning curve that will improve your results.
1. Know what information resonates with readers.
Over time you learn what your readers like. This translates into categories of information, reader hot buttons, ways that you can spin a topic and tags associated with posts.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Ask your readers what they want and think. While this seems obvious, many bloggers overlook this point. At a minimum, add a question at the end of each post.
2. Find the best mix of content formats.
Blogs provide a platform for a variety of different types of content. Take advantage of this. Use more than just plain text.
- Photos
- Graphics
- Infographics
- Videos
- Audio
- Presentations
Actionable Blogging Tip: Incorporate at least one image to attract reader attention.
3. Improve headline effectiveness.
Headlines grab your prospective reader and pull them in. Over time you learn what works best for your target audience. Also just as media entities like Upworthy and Buzzfeed have perfected the power of traffic driving headlines, you, too can create better titles quicker.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Leverage the power of headline science and words that increase blog traffic. (Here are 7 headline tips guaranteed to attract readers every time.)
4. Provide style and design guidance.
When you first start blogging, you may try a variety of different options in terms of design, typography and style. But over time, you discover how to present information on your blog so that your key audience can consume it efficiently.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Establish design guidelines so that your blog stands out. Consistency is one of the major keys to branding your blog.
5. Streamline your production flow.
While many people think that blogging is all about writing, the reality is that once you've finished writing, your work first begins.
- Include content review, copyediting, formatting the post, ensuring that it renders across devices, and adding tags and categories.
- Get additional technology support where appropriate
- Edit audio or video when used. Add tags, keywords and links to photographs, video and audio.
- Provide guidance for handling comments. Here's how to create a blog comment policy.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Set up a process checklist that includes every step that's done manually after the post is written as well as who performs this task (if you have more than one blogger.) Then look for ways to reduce the effort over time.
6. Optimize content for find-ability via search and social media.
Your blog content needs help to appear on search engines and get shared on social media. Both search and social media optimization are as much art forms as science. (Here's what 15 SEO experts say about blogging.)
- Blogs by their architecture are search-friendly. Write posts on the basic content that your target audience seeks and wants. Focus each post on an appropriate keyword and use it in the title and in the article.
- Link to other information on your blog and website. The goal is to provide service to your readers. This is a good way to drive traffic to your product pages.
- Incorporate content that people like to share on social media. Create information that makes your readers look good to their followers.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Make social sharing easy. Reduce what your audience has to do. Where appropriate, be part of a community where you share and promote each other's work.
7. Determine the best timing for publication and social media sharing.
While research can help you optimize your content for distribution and reach, your audience's habits may vary. Think holistically about your target market and their content consumption habits as they relate to your information.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Incorporate your publication frequency into your schedule. Don't focus on when you create the content or when you're working but rather when your audience is reading your information.
8. Build your blog distribution process.
Just hitting publish isn't enough to get your content in front of a broad audience, especially when you're first starting out.
- Start building your email list from the first day. This is something that I wished I had done.
- Engage on social media and become an active member of a variety of communities. Don't think that you can just shout me, me, me and hope to get readers. You need to pay it forward and help others.
- Take advantage of other people's audiences. Write guest posts to get your name in front of others. It's about building your authority.
- Leverage internal communications distribution. This includes customer lists, retail handouts, mailings and other interactions.
- Include related, target advertising where appropriate.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Set up a distribution checklist so that you don't have to think about it. Where appropriate, incorporate social media and other blog sharing into your overall content marketing calendar.
9. Test different elements of blog posts.
Where appropriate use A/B testing to determine what works best for your blog across each variable. Only change one element at a time on each test. Start with the most critical elements of your blog first to get the biggest impact.
Actionable Blogging Tip: Set a process for incorporating the test results into your on-going blogging. Read about the tests that other bloggers and content marketers are using to help reduce your testing efforts and maximize your success. (A good resource is Which Test Won.)
10. Measure key blog factors.
- Skip the vanity metrics such as social shares and comments. What you want to know is whether your audience is growing.
- Track the appropriate blog metrics on a regular basis. This doesn't mean every hour!
Actionable Blogging Tip: Incorporate a call-to-action to get readers to take the next step in the process.
Realize that every blog's learning curve is different and your results may vary.
Further, while having blogging experience will help you jumpstart another blog, you will still need to go through this process to appreciate the new audience and their reactions to your new blog.
What have the highlights of your blogging learning curve been?
