Contrast in Wisdom: Wise words from an ignorant man (31 of 32) by Harley Howard
This content is part of a series.Contrast in Wisdom: Wise words from an ignorant man (31 of 32)
Series: The Book of Proverbs
Harley Howard
Proverbs 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, [even] the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
The name Agur means, gatherer. He was the son of Jakeh, meaning, blameless. Evidently, Agur was a prophet, and he was described as a man, meaning a strong man, probably a man of character, who spoke this oracle to Ithiel and Ucal. These are 2 unknown individuals. The only other individual named Ithiel was a Benjamite, during the time of Nehemiah. The message described in this first verse is called a prophecy. The prophetical instruction was commonly called their prophecies.
2 Surely I [am] more brutish than [any] man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
I believe what he's said here was that he was an ignorant man, even the most ignorant man, and recognized that without God's wisdom he would stay that way. Now if that was true of a prophet then how much the more was this true of those who were not? The point should be obvious to us all.
Being a human with all of its weaknesses and failings at wisdom, should cause one to be dependent upon God for it. When he said, I neither learned wisdom, it could mean, that he was not fit to teach it, nor did he have the full understanding of God or of His wisdom. It would seem to me that Agur spoke this way about himself as he contrasted what little he knew compared to the greatness of God and of His wisdom.
Whenever we see ourselves from God's point of view we should see our absolute insignificance without Him and of His great significance. In his humility he saw the greatness of God and in His greatness he understood the essence of true worship. He explained the contrast in the following verses.
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? ...

Hello Everyone, and welcome to my first blog post!
I think the title is pretty obvious. Lately, I've seen many contributors simply disrespecting staff (and other contributors, for that matter). I've seen it happening in blog posts, I've seen it happening on the IRC and I've seen it happening on talk pages. Yes, I know what some of you might say: and indeed, I should perhaps mind my own business and just let everyone do as they please, but I'm not going to.
Today, I witnessed someone getting banned from the IRC for calling us (all the others on the IRC, and probably even all the active contributors to this wiki) noobs and being outright rude to us. What happenes next: This person writes a blog telling us how wrong we are and how stupid we are to ban him, because his is *obviously* so very, very important to our wiki. Some people seem to think this entire place revolves around them: it doesn't, so just keep your feet on the ground and think before you start calling other users "fucking noobs".
Now, this isn't going to be a one-sided story: I agree with you when you say that our admins and other staff members are a bit rude and easily irritated at times, and yes, some of them could take the time to think a bit more. But keep in mind that they deal with numerous trolls, noobs etc. every day, just to keep this place neat. I think we should compliment them for that, instead of scolding them.
That's all for now. You can leave comments on this blog, but let's keep it friendly and polite, shall we? If not, you guys will be forcing me to close the comments down.

Aha Moment: Hamlet
A listener named Jeff House told us about his revelation experience with Hamlet. As a teenager he watched the Christopher Plummer film on TV with his big sister, who was enthralled; House was nonplussed. "The language didn't make sense," he remembers. The hero was all doom and gloom, consumed by questions about the nature of existence. "I couldn't figure out what Hamlet's whole concern was. … I thought he was 'much ado about nothing.'"
Then, in his early 20s, House had a trauma of his own. He lost his first serious relationship and his faith — and with that, the support of his family. "I remember having a strong sense that I had failed." One day, at a community theater, he found himself sitting in the audience for Hamlet. He chose the back row, figuring he'd slip out when he got bored. Instead, "I was stunned. I was watching my life on stage — and I wanted to see what happened."
One of Hamlet's famous lines is a personal motto for House: "The readiness is all."

Welcome to the MJpedia mini wiki at Scratchpad!
You can use the box below to create new pages for this mini-wiki.
Manjuice Version (Often shortened to MJ Version, or MJV) is an currently active fanfiction website about a group of characters from multiple worlds and their daily struggles for survival. It's currently on its 59th Battle.
Main Characters
The Five Heroes
Daniel M. Starbright: The first of the Five Heroes to appear, he hails from Earth-1, also known as Iberia. He's friendly and helpful, albeit short-tempered and a bit silly. His main weapons are his sword and magic.
Dry-Mouth Man: The second of the Five Heroes, who comes from Earth-3, also known as Smonka. He's fairly smart and kind, but really loud at times. His main weapons are staffs, preferably cachabas, and his sand powers.
Etchiboy, formerly Hentaiboy: The third of the Five Heroes, born and raised on Earth-4, known also as Naniyon. He's perverted, self-centered and smells bad, but he really cares for his allies, specially if they're young females. His main weapons are his toilet brush and his perversion poweers.
Fanroic: Fourth of the five heroes, and the only one born in Earth-0, or Mondocentrale, the land where MJ Version is located. He's the reincarnation of sorts of the webmaster. To avoid him knowing that, he's been given a fourth wall, which protects him from knowing his true origins, but also makes him look really dumb when he can't see what the others can (See the fourth wall article for more details). His main weapons are his knuckles and his ability to control time.
Beatriz Crewe: The latest of the five heroes to appear, she's originary from Earth-2, or Ayrevi. She's really sweet and innocent, but kinda selfish at times. Her weapons are her sword and her magic, like Daniel.
Other heroes
Furryfan: The main villain of MJ Version, Furryfan is an evil furry who once ruled the Womanmilk Version, the twin of Manjuice Version. He tried to attack Heroic Hentai Fanboy, but was defeated and got jailed in a orb and thrown into MJ Version. Waddacku found the orb and accidentally released him. Furryfan is evil and reckless, and will do anything to prove his viewpoint is the only acceptable one.

Yes. The bestbits ACL code has major problems as a generic extended attributes mechanism, which is my main concern with the current code. It is fine for ACLs, where many files are expected to share the same set of permissions; but for generic EAs, if each file has a distinct set of EAs then it forces each file to consume a whole block just for the EAs. We need something more space-efficient with EAs before I'd be comfortable with it in the main kernel, and Daniel Phillips has a design scratched out for that. Cheers, Stephen

Regular readers of this blog will know that I recently had a cartoon published in Private Eye magazine (issue 1396, number fans), a cartoon I can reproduce here given that the said issue has since gone off sale.
You can see the cartoon above, a response to the terrible Charleston shootings of a few weeks back. I don't want to over explain the cartoon or anything (a picture speaks a thousand words, or so they say) so I'll just leave it up there for you to interpret as you see fit.
The Private Eye gig came after years and years of trying, and years and years of getting the infamous stock reply (infamous to us cartoonists, anyway) 'The Editor say sorry not to use, thanks for sending'. I was all set to get those words as a tattoo or engraved on my gravestone so familiar were they to me, but then upon opening the email in response to my last attempt, I found – to my utter amazement – no stock response, but instead the news that the Eye actually wanted to BUY a cartoon from me! Gadzooks!
I'm hugely proud of having finally cracked Private Eye, as I'd wanted to be in Lord Gnome's esteemed organ ever since I was about 16. I created and ran a spoof newspaper for my sixth-form called 'The Scum', which I once sent to Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, along with a cheeky little note asking if there were any jobs going. Hislop did take the time to reply (Gawd bless him!) saying he had enjoyed The Scum, but regretted to inform me there were no jobs going. Curses!
Still, here I am now, with my work now published in Private Eye. And it only took fourteen years to crack. This is either a prime example of how one should NEVER give up, or it's a chilling tale of an unstoppable obsession held well over a decade. As with the cartoon above, I'll leave you to decide.
– Fanton.

- Description
A true hybrid multi-sport shoe the Patagonia Footwear Men's Rover offers lightweight responsiveness for trail running while incorporating fit and underfoot performance for peak bagging and technical approaches.
The Rover's upper has dual fabrication to offer both protection and breathability. Abrasion-resistant air mesh helps to keep your foot from over-heating and allows the shoe to drain and dry should it become wet. Synthetic leather and a protective toe rand bolster durability and help to soften the blow of rocks and roots. A dual-density (softer at the heel harder at the ball of the foot) EVA midsole provides underfoot protection. A heel wedge provides increased cushioning and a low-profile ESS plate protects the forefoot.
A self-centering stretch gusseted tongue keeps out debris and a variable lacing fit runs out to the toe similar to a climbing shoe offering maximum adjustability for footing and comfort.
An extra-sticky rubber outsole provides excellent traction on varying terrain and on both wet and dry surfaces. The toe has a distinctly climbing-like construction to aid in "edging" while the traction-focused rear foot responds well to loose surfaces. With a 16mm heel and 10.5mm forefoot the Men's Rover has a 5.5mm drop.
Sold in pairs the Patagonia Footwear Men's Rover multi-sport trail shoe is available in men's full and half sizes.

The Georgetown College Tiger Football team didn't forget the long bus ride home from Oklahoma after their loss to Bacone College last season. It was a miserable 15 hours to say the least.
The Georgetown College Tiger Football team didn't forget the long bus ride home from Oklahoma after their loss to Bacone College last season. It was a miserable 15 hours to say the least.
So when Head Coach Bill Cronin addressed his players in the locker room before today's game he simple stated the score from the last meeting between the two schools "24-17" and left the rest up to them.
They responded by returning the favor with an old-fashioned kicking of Bacone 56-0 at Toyota Stadium in their first home game of the year.
"This is a game we have been thinking about for exactly one year," said Cronin. "We were disappointed in our performance a year ago and it feels good to be on top this time."
The Tigers started off quickly on the offensive end in the first quarter when quarterback Jeff Smith hit receiver Sam Jacobs for a 45-yard touchdown pass. John Keene then made it 14-0 at the end of the first quarter with a six yard running score. Matt Shansky added an interception for a touchdown early in the second quarter followed by a 45-yard pass to senior David Penland to make it 28-0 going into the break.
The second half was much of the same as the Warriors couldn't stop the momentum the Tigers carried with them. Georgetown's Jeff Gaby blocked a punt for a 65-yard touchdown before James Brown scored on a two yard hand off to end the third quarter at 42-0.
In the fourth quarter backup quarterback Andy Ahrens threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Ted Sberna, who followed with another touchdown seven minutes later on a seven- yard rush to put the final score at 56-0.
"Anytime you shut someone out it's a statement," said Cronin. "When you can go a whole game without letting someone in the end zone it's really something."
Next up for the 2-0 Tigers is Belhaven on the road. Kickoff is set for 2:30 pm.

One of the best books in years
I absolutely loved this story the author did an excellent job at keeping the time travel easy to follow. The characters were likeable and the story was intense and I didn't want to put it down. I didn't think I would like this book because of the time travel aspect, science fiction doesn't really interest me. But the story was very well written and worth the read.
I'm not big on romance novels, but because this had a fantasy/sci-fi element to it, I decided to pick it up. I think this is one of the more unique and enjoyable romance novels on the market, and one which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Because of the time travelling element, this story is fairly non-linear. It jumps around in time, but the writer makes it easy to follow along with the sequence of events. There's a wonderful emotional core to the story, which really helps to connect the reader to the characters and what happens to them. Everything is fully fleshed out, which is important when the focus moves from one point to another quite easily.
This book also spawned a film adaptation, but I personally enjoyed the written version much more. Even if you're not much of a romance reader, this has enough to offer in other aspects that I think casual observers can still find something to like.
This is a nice book, very emotional, beautiful story. I don't think I will read it again though. It just didn't hold my attention that much
I read this book years ago, and enjoyed it. I picked it up again recently after talking to a friend about it, and gave it another read. I enjoyed it SOOOO much more the 2nd time around...maybe because I had an idea of what was happening, so I was less confused.
I love the concept of time travel, it's always intrigued me. And I love a book that can make me have a good cry. This one had that...in spades!
No matter how well written a book is, I have to like the characters. And I did! I LOVE Henry and Claire!
One piece of advice...don't watch the movie before you read the book... it's terrible!
I got this book as a gift and wow ,what a beautiful love story but also sad because he was a time traveller and he was always popping in and out of her life,the idea for the story was amazing making you imagine what it would be like ,loved this story
I loved this story so much. Firstly, what an interesting concept - time travel! The story line is really interesting and captivating. the characters are wonderful and draw you in...you can't wait to see what will happen to them. It is a truly beautiful piece of literature and the love between the husband and wife is beautiful as well. I have read it a few times and will likely reread it in the future.
This book was so beautifully written and the concept is so interesting. It's this weird and beautiful love story. I was very teary eyed reading this. Loved it!
I absolutely love this book, one of my favorites. I couldn't put it down, all though I was disappointed in the movie as I felt they left out a lot, but that's really most movies based on books do.
I first read this book I grade 6 as part of an advanced reading class and fell in love! It was good back then and it still is. The chRacters are timeless and the story is so sweet that it's hard not to get attached.
This was such a beautiful story, that I still have kept the book several years after reading it. There are very few stories out there that have gotten me as emotionally hooked as this book did. I was about 15 when I read this book for the first time, and I believe this is a much more beautiful love story to idolize than a lot of the books girls my age were reading at the time. This story quickly got me hooked and I finished it over a day or two over my summer holidays. The movie did not do it justice - then again, everyone says that about movies compared to the books.

Track and block rogue network hardware attachments
: 19 September, 2008
(New Product)
WLAN security and monitoring system from AirMagnet enables effective tracking of attached devices on wireless networks preventing rogue attachments
AirMagnet has announced AirMagnet Enterprise 8.1, the industry's only independent WLAN security and monitoring solution. The new product allows users to trace and block rogue devices that are physically connected to an enterprise network faster and more reliably than any other solution in the industry.
Unlike competitive solutions that rely on singular, limited tracing mechanisms, AirMagnet Enterprise 8.1 coordinates complimentary tracing techniques leveraging AirMagnet's intelligent sensors to perform local tracing of the sensor's immediate environment, as well as global, centralized tracing performed by the AirMagnet Server. Information is shared between the intelligent sensors and server to build a global view of the network, automatically learning from previous discoveries and traces.
'AirMagnet has always offered the industry's most powerful rogue management capabilities. With the new functionality we've not only improved the security aspects of the solution, but we also made it more scalable. By utilizing both our intelligent sensors and the centralized server, Enterprise 8.1 is capable of functioning in both a distributed and centralized environment,' said Chia Chee Kuan, CTO at AirMagnet. 'This allows customers to have more flexibility in determining what resources they want to use when monitoring for rogue devices.'
The ability to identify unapproved devices that are physically connected to an organization's WLAN infrastructure is a critical feature for any WIDS/WIPS solution. Traditionally, tracing could have variable success depending on the techniques used. Some techniques require manually defining all switches in the environment, while others may fail due to an inability to trace across subnets. However, with AirMagnet Enterprise 8.1, it is now possible to leverage multiple tracing mechanisms. This includes the ability to trace centrally or distributed, to trace over the wire or wirelessly over the air, and also to trace manually or automatically based on policy. As the only solution to include all of these mechanisms, AirMagnet Enterprise delivers significant industry improvements in terms of tracing reliability and speed.
'Rogues are still a serious threat to enterprise wireless networks. The sooner the rogues can be identified, the less trouble they can cause,' said Stan Schatt, Vice President and Wireless LAN Research Director at ABI Research. 'It makes sense to me to use both sensor and server information to speed up the rogue identification process and AirMagnet's Enterprise 8.1 uses precisely that approach.'
AirMagnet Enterprise 8.1 provides a simple, scalable WLAN monitoring solution that enables any organization to proactively mitigate all types of wireless threats, enforce enterprise policies, prevent performance problems and audit the regulatory compliance of all their WiFi assets and users worldwide. In addition, the product offers a complete approach to rogue management with the ability to detect, disable, and document every rogue. Multiple detection mechanisms immediately expose every rogue. An active blocking suite disables the rogue wirelessly or at the wired port. A dedicated documentation page provides profiles of each rogue, including a summary of applied policies and actions taken.
AirMagnet Enterprise 8.1, a free upgrade for existing customers with an active support agreement, is available now.

This little hotel was perfect for our family holiday. The hotel is very well located, right in front of the sea and only five minutes walk to the blue flag beach in Rabac, a lovely walk thru the promenade. The Manager Boris was very friendly. Although breakfast was not included, we decided to pay extra for it and was well worth it, there is a good selection of hams and fresh fruits and if you like you can order eggs. Coffe was from a proper machine and was delicious too. The appartment we stayed in was really nice, with a kitchen so we were able to prepare some of our meals there. The appartment was B1, the bathroom was clean and modern and enough space for a family of four, (two adults, two kids and a dog :D). Beds were also very comfortable and the view from the living room was out of this world! Would I go there again? Yes, no doubt :D

Seiko Holdings, the creator of the world's first quartz
wristwatch, sacked its president yesterday for a "tendentious management
style" in a move that could herald a new vogue for candour in corporate
Japan.Seiko's blunt explanation for why Koichi Murano was sacked
suggests that it has learnt a lesson from the ousting of Kuniaki Nozoe
as president of Fujitsu last September.Fujitsu initially said Mr Nozoe
had resigned for health reasons, but after Mr Nozoe demanded his job
back this March, it said that he actually agreed to resign after being
threatened with dismissal over links to a company of "unfavourable
Mr Nozoe and Fujitsu are now embroiled in a legal
dispute about the circumstances of his resignation.By contrast, Seiko
pulled no punches in explaining Mr Murano's exit. "[Mr Murano] has
brought unstable corporate governance by his tendentious management
style, reflecting only the opinions of some major shareholders and
directors, and neglecting the reasonable exercise of executive power,"
the company said."As a result, [he] has raised distrust of the company
management among our business partners and employees. To avoid this
critical condition, the company determined to dismiss the former
Mr Murano could not be reached for comment.
It is
rare for a Japanese company to dismiss a top executive, let alone in
such robust language.However, the Seiko case has involved a disagreement
between the senior management and was decided on a 3-2 vote by the
eligible board directors, according to local media reports. That
suggests a quiet resignation was not an option.
Mr Murano will be
replaced by Shinji Hattori, the deputy president and a scion of the
family that founded Seiko in 1881. Seiko has become one of Japan's
largest watchmakers and is the official timekeeper for the World
Athletics Championships. It also makes golf clubs, metronomes and
electronic components.Seiko Epson, which makes printers and scanners, is
a separate company that started from the same corporate group.Seiko
Holdings expects to have made a net loss of Y7.3bn ($78m) on sales of
Y234bn in the year to March 2010. That follows a Y5.8bn loss last year.
Seiko blames poor economic conditions in Japan, Europe and the US.After
it bought full control of Seiko Instruments last year the group is in a
relatively weak financial condition. Equity amounted to less than 10 per
cent of total assets at the end of December 2009.

While the top two albums this year performed significantly better than last year s top two albums, 2014 saw just four albums surpass 1 million units, compared to 13 last year. The top 10 albums in 2014 were virtually flat versus 2013, thanks to the strength of Taylor Swift and Frozen.

However, on a track sales basis, Pop (21.1%) is nearly as big as Rock (21.3%).

Latin music also performs particularly well at Streaming, with 5% of Streaming coming from Latin music, while just 2.4% of album sales are Latin. OVERVIEW OF MUSIC CONSUMPTION IN 2014 Music consumption has changed, but America's appetite for music remains as strong as ever. Changes in how fans are consuming music defined the 2014 music landscape. Streaming music is surging. Smartphone/mobile usage for music listening grew (as did smartphone and tablet ownership). Radio continued to be the number-one source of music discovery. Americans still love music, and are listening all the time 93% of the U.S. population listens to music, spending more than 25 hours each week listening to their favorite songs. When surveyed about their activities in the past year, 75% of respondents said they actively chose to listen to music, even ahead of watching television at 73%. Nearly 25% of all music listening happens in the car; listening at work or while doing chores at home each account for around 15% of our weekly time spent with music. Listening to music on smartphones now exceeds listening to music on ipods, with 41% of listeners accessing music on their smartphones in a typical week, an increase of over 20% versus last year. o Smartphone penetration grew from 69% at the start of 2014 to 76% of U.S. mobile subscribers by October 2014.
8 Streaming continues its surge - audio and video Nielsen Music tracked 164 billion On-Demand streams in 2014, up 54% in 2013 (106 billion). In a typical week, 67% of music consumers listen to music online (any form of streaming music). The week ending Nov. 9, 2014, marked the first time since Nielsen started tracking streaming in 2004 that total streams surpassed 4 billion in one week. Of these record-breaking streams - o 3.9 billion were on-demand (audio and video) o billion were audio streams, making it the second highest week for audio streams ever o The week was also a record high for video, with over two billion video streams Source: Nielsen Nielsen Music U.S. Study is a comprehensive, in-depth study of consumer interaction with music in the United States. Data for this study was collected in August and September of 2014 among 2,581 representative consumers ages 13+. Surveys were conducted online using a third party panel. Data was weighted to the U.S. census population based on age, gender, race, education and household size. Additional samples of teenagers and Hispanics were collected to improve our analysis of those populations. Those respondents are not weighted into our 2,581 general population sample and are only used when investigating Teens or Hispanics alone. The survey was only presented in English so our Hispanic sample represents English-speaking Hispanics of various acculturation levels. Radio Remains Top Source for Music Discovery, With Pop and Country Leading the Way Radio remains the top method of music discovery, and its local nature makes it an integral part of the daily lives of hundreds of millions of consumers in markets large and small. 51% of consumers use radio to discover new music. 59% of music listeners use a combination of over-the-air AM/FM radio and online radio streams to hear music 243 million U.S. consumers (aged 12 and over) tune in each week to radio. That s 91.3% of the national population tuning in across more than 250 local markets. Across the 48 Nielsen portable people meter (PPM) markets, Pop Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) and Country were the leading music formats amongst all listeners in 2014, followed by Adult Contemporary (AC), Hot AC and Classic Hits. Country radio grew significantly with 18-to-34-year-old audiences through the first half of the year, peaking in June with its all-time best audience share, before ending the year on a downtrend. For the year, Country ranked second across the Nielsen PPM markets. Hot AC increased its share of audience, moving from fifth to third this year among audiences aged 18 to marked the best year ever for the format. The chart below breaks down the national listening landscape for the top 10 most popular radio formats of 2014 for the audience in Nielsen s PPM markets.

There's only one way for Dave to stub out Farage
Pressure: The effect of this tidal change in British politics is that without some sort of accommodation with Ukip, the Conservatives haven't got a prayer of winning the next General Election
With characteristic obstinacy, David Cameron refused over the past few years to react to the defection of thousands of natural Tories to Ukip.
He wouldn't change his wrong-headed, irrelevant and in some cases poisonous policies that drove them away. So what happened in Thursday's elections was not so much a defeat as a self-inflicted wound.
The effect of this tidal change in British politics is that without some sort of accommodation with Ukip, the Conservatives haven't got a prayer of winning the next General Election.
But there will be no accommodation while Mr Cameron — whose disastrous, Left-leaning brand of leadership I have criticised since he stood for leader of his party in 2005 — remains in charge.
In any case, why should Ukip leader Nigel Farage strike a deal? Both in private and public, Ukip has offered many olive branches to the Tories, for example asking for the public to be offered a swift in-out EU referendum.
Yet it has been snubbed by an arrogant, out-of-touch leadership that believed the policies popular with the so-called 'Notting Hill Set' would resonate with the rest of the country.
They were wrong, and Thursday's disastrous results prove it.
The Tories' hapless chairman, Grant Shapps, tries to be humble in saying: 'We get the message. We heard you.'
But they don't, and they haven't.
Tory ministers think the message is about tougher immigration controls and faster economic growth.
But that is only part of it.
The truth is that the Farage Factor consists of a lot more. Of course, these include an immediate EU referendum — not one in 2017 or 2018. The Tories still don't offer that.
And Ukip advocates other ideas that were once championed by the mainstream Tory party before it alienated itself from its traditional voters so spectacularly.
It wants lower taxes, the creation of more grammar schools, withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights, freedom from the tyranny of the EU and the bolstering of Britain's depleted Armed Forces.
Any rapprochement between a party with such priorities and one obsessed with legalising marriage between same sex couples and spending billions on overseas aid is impossible to imagine.
Ukip advocates ideas that were once championed by the mainstream Tory party before it alienated itself from its traditional voters so spectacularly, such as lower taxes and the creation of more grammar schools
Mr Farage is a Technicolor man in a monochrome political class. To the chattering classes, his brash, confident, matey, plain-spoken persona makes him something of a demon. But to millions of voters he's someone with whom they can identify, and who avoids the nuanced language of almost all other politicians.
When attacked for having few detailed policies, Mr Farage points out that other opposition parties lack them, too. When stuffy pundits sneer at his saloon-bar-and-fags image, he chuckles with the confidence of a man who knows that he, and not they, is in tune with the British people.
Tories must decide whether to let Ukip continue its inexorable progress under the charismatic and popular Mr Farage, or whether they will fight to regain the support of disaffected natural Tories
There is wishful thinking among some Tory strategists, who feel Ukip will evaporate like the SDP (which was formed as a breakaway party in 1981 by those in Labour fed up with the party's domination by the hard-Left). I am afraid they are utterly wrong.
Mr Farage argues that the SDP ultimately resulted in Tony Blair leading the Labour Party. But I believe it disappeared because it was almost a carbon copy of the Liberal Party, with which it merged.
Subsequently, the Liberal Democrats failed to challenge either Labour or the Tories because Mr Blair turned Labour into an imitation of the Lib Dems — but with a machine capable of delivering a party of government.
The only way in which Ukip will be neutralised is for the Tories to follow a similar path.
In any case, Ukip cannot be compared with the SDP. There has been nothing quite like it since Margaret Thatcher was ditched as Tory leader.
There will be one certain result of its success on Thursday. The party will attract more supporters and more money. This will allow stricter vetting of candidates, and better policy research. By next year's Euro elections, Ukip should be well positioned to win more seats than any other party.
For their part, the Tories must decide whether to let Ukip continue its inexorable progress under the charismatic and popular Mr Farage, or whether they will fight to regain the support of disaffected natural Tories.
In sum, the Conservatives must wake up to reality.
Their core vote has defected to Ukip and their current leadership doesn't seem to have a clue how to win it back.
Yes, that might mean getting a new leader, and it would almost certainly involve breaking the Coalition.
Johnson's a lost leader
Ed Miliband's bungling radio interview about Labour's borrowing policies — it's on the internet if you missed it — supplied ample evidence about his unsuitability to run the country.
Having dipped into the newly-published memoir of his Labour colleague Alan Johnson, I was reminded that the former Home Secretary is a fundamentally decent man and how well he is connected to Labour's core constituency. How different things might be for Labour if he was leader instead of the increasingly extra-planetary Mr Miliband.
Fundamentally decent: How different things might be for Labour if former Home Secretary Alan Johnson was leader instead of the increasingly extra-planetary Mr Miliband

The Queen will open a new session of Parliament on Wednesday. But as the Coalition partners agree on almost nothing, no-one expects it to achieve much.
Thus the rumour factory is full of details of what won't be in the Queen's Speech, rather than what will. Apparently, there will not be a bill to make tobacco firms sell cigarettes in plain packaging, nor (yet) will there be legislation to build the high-speed rail link between London and Birmingham.
Given that an election isn't due until May 2015, we have two more years of this time-wasting shambles. Can't we just have a General Election now, and start again?
Because of the stubborn refusal to stop ring-fencing certain areas, other Government departments must find big cuts to help save £11.6 billion in this spending round. Why is the profligate Overseas Aid budget one of those protected? It should be scrapped. I would not shed any tears for those Mercedes-Benz dealers in Africa who would lose business. In the drive against waste and inefficiency, the NHS must make savings, too.
Final whistle for the euro
Most European leaders remain blind as to how to tackle the single currency crisis.
Ireland's president has attacked the 'moral' failure of the European Central Bank in insisting on sensible austerity measures and denying the eurozone the resources for growth.
The new Italian PM has jettisoned tax rises that would help reduce his country's massive debts.
Must it really take a summer of riots to force the eurocrats to realise that the game for the euro is up?
It was idiotic of the Tories to let Ken Clarke, looking fresh from the menswear section of an Oxfam shop, smear Ukip.
In any case, allegations that the party is 'racist' looked particularly stupid considering that one of Nigel Farage's council candidates was Sushil Patel, a Ugandan-Asian whose daughter Priti is a Tory MP.
David Cameron's decision to appoint a number of Old Etonian chums to his policy unit is simply based on the fact that he feels they all think alike, they won't challenge him and they won't come up with any disturbingly radical ideas. How foolish. Strong leaders take tough decisions rather than run cosy cocktail parties.
