Perfect Proof the News Doesn't Care

I got so mad at a local news station the other day that I wanted to throw the remote at the TV.

During a commercial break for another show I had recorded, they showed a preview of the news, and the video was of a little girl playing in the park.

Then it flashed to the reporter, who stated the girl was like any other, except for one thing- she was fighting for her life.

Then she stated, "There's only one hope for her. Tune in at 10 to find out what it is".

At first I just thought it was weird, but then it made me angry. Why, if there is only one hope for this little girl, didn't they at least say what that hope was? Then, if someone possessed whatever would save this girl was watching, even if they hadn't planned on watching the news, they might have tuned in to find out how to put it to use. But instead, it just left without a mention of what could save her.

If the news was really interested in saving the girl's life, they could at least have given more information. Instead, they were simply worried about ratings and getting people to tune in later.

There's no doubt that our news programs have lost most of their integrity. But this went above and beyond a lack of integrity and borderlines on criminal.

Should this little girl die, and it is found out there was a viewer who saw that clip, yet failed to act, I think they should be charged with negligent homicide, at the very least.

Farm Town Redesigned

After planting and selling more crops, I finally reached a level and had enough coins where I could expand the size of my farm. I also took advantage of a massive Farm Town upgrade, where they released a lot of new products you could buy in the market.

Trying to save as many coins as possible so I could upgrade the size of my farm again, I redesigned my farm using mostly what I already had on hand. As soon as I get 30,000 coins, I'll be able to upgrade, as I've already hit the level required.

Male vs Female Birds

This Is AMAZING!!!

Until now I never fully understood how to tell the difference between male and female birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically. Until now.

Below are two birds. Study them closely...See if you can spot which of the two is the female. It can be done. Even by someone with limited bird watching skills can tell.

Here is a sample letter I'll write about my good friend Mac:


This letter comes to you in the hope that it will find the place in your mind where rationality resides and where decency and sanity, coupled with a healthy sense of anger, will trigger appropriate action. By way of introduction, let me just say that Mac's lackeys argue that she is a master of precognition, psychokinesis, remote viewing, and other undeveloped human capabilities. These are the same stupid pipsqueaks who commit all sorts of mortal sins—not to mention an uncountable number of venial ones. This is no coincidence; all five of my senses indicate that I certainly reject Mac's demands. So don't feed me any phony baloney about how she should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury. That's just not true.

Mac's position that she can override nature is based upon a specious argument without any substantive basis. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: Mac deserves to be punished. If I hear her subalterns say, "It is not only acceptable but indeed desirable to make empty promises" one more time, I'm really going to throw up. If a cogent, logical argument entered Mac's brain, no doubt a concussion would result. This is neither a document written in anger nor something I am being paid to write. Why? That's easy. It seems that no one else is telling you that it's quite sad that Mac chooses to squander her talent on this sort of passive-aggressive isolationism. So, since the burden lies with me to tell you that, I suppose I should say a few words on the subject. To begin with, the time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must undeniably move as expeditiously as possible to invigorate the effort to reach solutions by increasing the scope of the inquiry rather than by narrowing or abandoning it. The first step in that process is to realize that if natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most genetically unfit members of a species then she is clearly going to be the first to go.

A sure-fire way to elicit derisive sneers, leers, and jeers from Mac is to resolve our disputes without violence. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. She should think about how her memoranda lead rambunctious mouthpieces for silly cameralism to promote the depraved philippics of atrabilious, picayunish peculators. If Mac doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps she should just keep quiet. To recap the main points made in this letter: 1) Mac cannot endure the world of reality and must take refuge in her uppity fantasies, 2) we cannot and we must not allow ourselves to become infected with the fatal germs of alarmism, and 3) she should clean up her act.

Farm Town- Where to Start

After playing Farm Town for a few hours, I've found a few oddities with the cell counts that will make it difficult for people who like things symmetrical. But I've also come up with what I think is a decent solution.

But first, let's describe the issue- When I began playing, in my head I quickly counted off the squares of the grid, using my plowed fields as a baseline. I counted them as a 2x2. Instead, they are actually 3x3. The fences, which I assumed in width would count as 1, they do, but the length is closer to a 5, which lets you surround your crops and connect the corners of the fence.

Sounds easy enough, except to get the corners to connect, the player will have to extend the fence a few grids to get it to fit around the crops. There is no way to make your fence "flush" with the crops all the way around. At best, you will only be able to make it flush on two sides.

I had also assumed the entire playing area was a "2 count" that was 12x12. Instead, it is only 11x11 (until you upgrade the size).

This odd number of squares makes it impossible to fit the fences completely across the playing area, which in turn makes it impossible to surround the entire playing area with a continuous fence.

After playing and complaining for a while, I finally realized why it was designed this way. It took me getting enough fences and crops lined out to run into the reason, but I eventually figured it out.

Your character will not cut across the fences, therefore you will need to have gaps for them to walk through. And as you have your character do more work (as well as your hired hands), if they don't have spaces in the fencing to walk through and have to walk all the way around to the edge, it will take a lot longer for them to complete their assigned tasks.

So how does a symmetrical brain handle this quagmire? For me, I destroyed all my farms and started over, this time starting from the middle and working outward, instead of the edge working toward the center.



Since the grid is an odd number of squares, you can't actually begin exactly in the middle, but it's close enough that it will make most people happy. But beware- if you connect the fences and don't leave space in the middle of the playing area, your characters will have to make a long trip around the perimeter of the map to complete their duties.

Once you've determined your center and left a space for your farmer to walk through, all you need to decide is how close to the fence you want your crops. For me, going out one direction I left two spaces, going the other direction I left one. While this won't make my farm perfectly symmetrical, it will give me a little playing room on what I'd like to put between each crop and fence, but at the same time keep it laid out in a way my brain can tolerate.

Farm Town Visitors

Wow!

After finally building up some coins, I decided to reorganize my farm. I started out by creating separate pens for each animal, and up in the top right hand corner experimented with an orchard.

After going to the market to sell some of my harvest from the trees, when I returned I had eight visitors at my farm at the same time. I think this is a record. Usually there is one or two that pop in, but never this many.
