All is not well at Churchill Show as some comedians are grumbling about poor pay! We had a chat a few of these comedians and their stories are saddening.
Two days ago, YY quit Churchill Show citing a threat to his career as the reason why he decided to give up on the comedy show.
The main issue that is making some humorists feel sick to their stomach is the pay. So how much do they make at Churchill Show?'
A Churchill Show comedian (let's call him X) told us they are paid a meagreKes 1,000 per show every Thursday.
The money he says is meant to take care of their welfare that specific day. If the comedian's act is shown on TV, the humorist gets an extra Kes 10,000.
In short, if a Churchill Show comedian manages to appear on TV four times in a month, he will earn Kes 44,000 by end month.
The problem comes when the comedian doesn't appear on TV; if this happens it means they will only take home Kes 4,000 a month for performing on Thursday night during recording.
Now you understand why YY said his talent was too strong to be killed by Computer Desktops; he wasn't appearing on TV.
The sad part is that the editors are the one who decide which act will be shown on TV and which one will notComedian X told us he struggles with his bills, especially rent, particularly when his acts are not shown on TV which translates to no money
Even more disturbing, Churchill Show comedians have NO contract with Laugh Industry. They are simply there to perform earn whatever they are paid and go home.
But another Churchill Show comedian (let's call him Z), who had no problem with the status quo, defended Churchill saying comedians are free to seek side hustles since their boss has no issue with this.Z told us Over 80 comedians turn up for auditions every Tuesday. Of those, only about 14 or 15 will be selected to perform on Thursday.
Given the time that Churchill Show airs on NTV on Sundays, only a few best of the best acts will be shown The time frame on TV simply can't allow all acts to be shown. Z says Churchill has given comedians under his umbrella a platform to launch their talents and seek greener pastures.
He cited the case of Eric Omondi and Chipukeezy who despite having their own shows can still 'sneak' back and drop performances at Churchill Show.

Wednesday Lineups: Angels vs. Mariners
SEATTLE -- The Angels and Seattle Mariners will play the rubber game of their season-opening three-game series on Wednesday night at 7, with Matt Shoemaker pitching for the Angels and Hisashi Iwakuma going for Seattle.
The Angels are using their normal lineup, with one exception. Efren Navarro gets the start in left field, with Matt Joyce moving to DH and C.J. Cron to the bench.
It's interesting that Manager Mike Scioscia has Navarro -- a converted outfielder -- in the field with Joyce at DH, rather than vice versa. Joyce had some health issues in spring training, so it's possible he still has something nagging him.
The lineups...
Kole Calhoun RF
Mike Trout CF
Matt Joyce DH
David Freese 3B
Erick Aybar SS
Efren Navarro LF
Austin Jackson CF
Dustin Ackley LF
Robinson Cano 2B
Nelson Cruz RF
Kyle Seager 3B

This a wonderful old house in a beautiful part of Maine. It was perfect for day trips to Portland and other locations along the coast (many great places around 45 minutes away). The house had everything we needed, and was very clean. Make sure you make time in your plans to explore the area around the house and the bay, it looks amazing. We unfortunately did not, but I guess that means we will just have to go back! Jane was an amazing host. Check in and check out was flexible and easy. Jane was always available by text if we had any issues, left us information about the area, and even muffins! We would love to stay here again!
Joe2016-07-11T00:00:00ZWe recently stayed for a week and had a fantastic time. We were made to feel very welcome and Jayne was very accomodating to our needs. The house was beautiful and it felt very comforting to return to the house after being sight seeing all day. Ideally located for easy access to Portland and the beautiful villages of the mid-coast region of Maine. Very relaxing stay and we can't wait to return.
Brian2015-07-19T00:00:00ZJane's place was a welcome getaway from the city! She went out of her way to be available by text and to stop by after our arrival to show us the lay of the land. While it was rainy most of our stay, we made the most of it enjoying the peace and quiet to read and write. We would definitely stay again if given the chance!
Stephanie2016-10-18T00:00:00ZJane was an excellent host! She was warm, gracious, and thoughtful. She was readily available when we needed her, but gave us plenty of time to ourselves. The house was exactly as described. It was incredibly charming and beautiful, but with modern conveniences (kitchen, bath). It was the perfect blend of a 300-year-old farmhouse with modern comforts. We would love to stay here again. The house feels very peaceful; it is on a quiet road, removed from the bustle of Route 1 tourist traffic. But it is only a short drive to the larger cities - Bath, Damariscotta, etc. Jane directed us to a great farmer's market down the road, knew of many nature walks directly reachable from the property, and could tell us where to get a good deal on live lobsters. In short, it truly is a wonderful 'retreat' into Maine, and Jane is the best host someone could hope for.
Alice2014-10-02T00:00:00ZMy husband and I recently stayed at Janes beautiful home with our pup for 3 nights. Jane is very sweet, and gave us full privacy. We really only saw her when we first arrived. She's very accommodating and easy to get in contact with. Her home is clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. She went above and beyond with bouquets of fresh flowers in the kitchen and offering an array of bath scrubs/oils. The scenery surrounding the property is gorgeous and very secluded. One morning we even saw a pack of wild guinea hens passing by! We traveled into Portland everyday, which we found to be an easy drive. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be back! Thanks Jane!
Ashley 2014-08-24T00:00:00ZThe house with its rooms is just as described and shown by the pictures. The old house is charming to everyone who appreciates this uniqueness without the implicitness of modern life. It is off every bigger settlement, no infrastructure close by, except the road that leads to it, no WiFi and no net, no TV. Instead: situated in a great landscape, not modernized to death (we hope it stays like that) and still comfortable and easy to live in and with. Jane as the owner is a very sympathetic lady. The conversations with her were a pleasure, as well as her hospitality. We loved it and would always come back if our way leads us back into that area - we wish so.
Horst2014-09-26T00:00:00ZThe house was in a perfect location... I felt right at home. Jane was welcoming and gave me my privacy and I loved it. The kitchen had everything you could need to make amazing meals. Thanks Jane!!
Deena2014-10-18T00:00:00ZWe had a fabulous stay at the beautiful historic property on River Road. The house is tastefully decorated with lots of wonderful antique furniture. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped for all cooking purposes. We actually spent most of our time either in the cozy kitchen or sitting outside on the little decking area. The outside space is perfect for relaxing of an evening and listening to the sounds of the night. Jane was a wonderful host, warm, friendly and very helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the local area and its wildlife... Jane even left us a pair of binoculars to use as I had mentioned in passing that we were keen birders. All in all, we had an amazing time!!

Michael's home was absolutely amazing. Every piece of his hand built home was truly unique and inspiring. He set us up to feel very much at home, was very easy to communicate and he made our check in very easy. His home is in a very quiet and peaceful area, which was very nice to have as a getaway from NY. We would only be so lucky to be able to go back again some day!
devin2016-04-25T00:00:00ZMy family and I were blown away by the quality of our stay at Michael's home. Michael is, without exception, the best host we've ever encountered. He had great recommendations for local activities, and the house furnishings seemed tailored for us. When I mentioned my desire to do some fishing while in Maine, Michael saw to it that fishing gear and a delicious fish chowder (seriously tasty stuff!) were ready for us when we arrived. As for the home itself, it is the perfect custom-built combination of rustic and modern, highlighting the best of both worlds. The location is quiet and peaceful while not too far from Augusta. We hope to stay here again during our next Maine visit!
Justin2016-08-01T00:00:00ZMichael's beautiful post and beam home was the bomb...wonderful location overlooking a lake in the height of a spectacular foliage; great kitchen with everything you would need for delish meals; a wood stove that makes the whole house feel warm and cozy, an awesome shower, and a comfy king sized bed. One of the best surprises was home-made kale soup which was on the stove when we arrived! Even though we were in the middle of lovely woods, the house was 20 minutes away from my daughter's soccer game at Colby College--so this is a great find for visiting parents! Was an excellent weekend in every way, thank you (:
Beth2015-10-22T00:00:00ZMichael's house is just incredible, better than in the pictures... We loved the location, the attention to details, the fully equipped kitchen, the BBQ on the deck, the amazing view, the Kayak tour on the lake, everything about this home is full of style and taste, being simple and to the point. The fact that the house is higher than the lake gives the view a special kind of 3D, that almost seems unreal, the wooden deck is a gem, we enjoyed the outdoor BBQ for the fantastic sea food we brought from Portland (michael's advice). the kayaks are just a few minutes down the hill, easy access, even for a 6 month pregnant lady like me :) Michael is a super host, kind and helpful, very quick to answer our questions, also a very interesting and fun person, we are grateful for this weekend spent at this little piece of heaven. No wonder that it's a source of inspiration for him. We want to spend a whole month there :)
Nili2014-09-23T00:00:00ZOnly stayed one night but a beautiful home to stay in! The wood burning stove was great and even though it was a chilly night in September we got the place warm! Bathrooms really great(plenty of hot water) and bed very comfortable! We liked the timber frame and the open design of Michael's (URL HIDDEN) the woods and close to the Common Ground Fair!
Mary2014-09-21T00:00:00ZVery pleasant house, well designed, nicely appointed, beautiful setting. Great place for a bbq with friends and family. Michael kindly left us breakfast food and a pie.
William2016-05-27T00:00:00ZMike's house was even more fabulous than we could have hoped for! Beautifully designed and open, light and comfortable-Excellent kitchen, sitting, resting-and enjoying Maine!!! Branch pond was spectacular-the kayaks were a real plus!
Carol2014-08-12T00:00:00ZThe house is gorgeous and better than expected. It has a beautiful view of the lake and is just so cozy to relax and hangout it. The kitchen is fully stocked so bring food to cook. South China doesn't have a ton going on, so recommend for people who are looking to get away from it all.

I stayed at the cottage for a week with my girlfriend and had a fantastic time! Michael and his family were wonderful hosts who I couldn't have been happier with. The cottage is spacious, well cared for and has fantastic views of the lake from the living room. There is also a deck which we enjoyed eating and hanging out on a lot. The lake was great for swimming and canoeing, and watching the sunset across the lake was a real highlight.
Nic2016-07-03T00:00:00ZThe cabin is adorable, and the spot is so beautiful. The host family is very friendly and accommodating. It made for a very pleasant weekend!

The Tree Dwelling is, in short, amazing. What a great structure and great idea. Well done, Marsha! For my wife and I this place was kind of a compromise between camping and getting a cabin. And it could not have been more perfect. The design and thought that has gone into this place is spectacular. Simple yet modern. Small yet spacious. Marsha made our arrival and departure super easy and was in touch with all the right information right on time, every time. And our canoe rental couldn't have been more enjoyable and easy, thanks again to Marsha. For those thinking about visiting the Bath area this is an excellent location and makes for easy adventures to Reid and Popham and into Bath and Brunswick as well. We will be back, and couldn't recommend this retreat more.
Josef2016-09-09T00:00:00ZThis is a phenomenal place in all respects, and a world class and location with fantastic hosts. If the pictures call to you, as they did us and will to many, you will not be disappointed in the experience!
Bill2016-08-11T00:00:00ZVery private and quiet with wonderful views even lying in the super comfy king sized bed. The rooms are small but a plus when it is cold outside because they warm up quickly with the heater. Went for a lovely kayak in the warm sun. We had a great time.
Laura2016-07-14T00:00:00ZWhat an incredible place to stay - a really unique experience with gorgeous views. It had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay! Thank you Marsha!
Rachael2016-10-14T00:00:00ZIf you are looking at this review because you are unsure about staying here, stop reading and go book it now. Seriously. There is something so magical about this place. We enjoyed every second of our stay and cannot wait to make a trip back out to Maine. It was the perfect place!
Catie2016-08-18T00:00:00ZThe tree house was awesome! My niece and I stayed 3 nights and would do it again in a heartbeat. Rustic yet had all the amenities we needed, including wifi. No AC, but that was not a huge issue, even with unseasonably warm temps. Spent most of our time on the screened in porch. Be aware you have to climb a spiral staircase if you plan to stay there, not a bad thing, but for some might be a barrier. Great beaches nearby and having the state park pass Marsha provided allowed us to visit multiple times without having to pay. Great experience!
Bernadet2016-08-21T00:00:00ZMarsha and Phil were wonderful hosts. They were friendly and accommodating.
Sera2016-07-06T00:00:00ZAmazing place to say as many have stated. Perfect couple of nights on our honeymoon. Not a more relaxing feeling waking up to nature in front of you :) Bed was very comfortable and the screened in porch was awesome.

The location of this camp is absolutely extraordinary. It sits right on the exquisite China Lake. Communication was marvelous throughout, including on our arrival when we contacted Bernie to say we had arrived and he encouraged us to use the canoe or kayaks for a tour of the lake. Let's just say that after a two hour paddle, we felt like we were truly on vacation. The neighbors were also very kind and welcoming, offering to help us take the canoe out of the water, chatting about dogs, and suggesting good restaurants for dinner (The Liberal Cup is definitely worth a visit). Bernie explained the workings of the camp very clearly. Our only caveat is that the camp is as described: very rustic. It's a lot like camping out in a wooden tent.
John2014-10-11T00:00:00ZGreat place. Good for a night but would be best enjoyed over at least a few days. Amazing setting right on the lake!
Michael2016-11-04T00:00:00ZVery welcoming indeed! Could not have been more hospitable. Among a cluster of quiet houses/camps off Route 3. Not a lot nearby if you're looking for activities other than nature-y things.
Jennifer2015-10-18T00:00:00ZEmail and phone conversations with Bernie were very open and friendly. He was a pleasure to work with.
Neal2015-08-16T00:00:00ZWe so enjoyed our stay at Grammy Camp, it was just like going to my Grammy's camp as a child, a lot of quirky things to read on the wall and find around the place, listing to the game on the radio instead of TV, and so quiet and peaceful by the lake. A great time as a family, playing cribbage (lots of board games).
Annette2015-10-13T00:00:00ZSuper cute camp with an amazing view. Could see myself coming back or having family stay there. Host was super cool and inviting. Love it
Kathleen2016-10-27T00:00:00ZThe place was exactly as described, a rustic lakeside camp. We used the kayaks and sailboat as an added plus. Thanks Bernie and Jody!
Shane2016-07-31T00:00:00ZBernie and Jody had everything set up and prepped as described and were very friendly. The lake was beautiful and we had a great time kayaking/canoeing and we also really enjoyed having a campfire. Plenty of supplies and cozy cabin. The night sky was beautiful as well. Thanks!

We even don't know what to say about this cozy and historic cabin. In our trip around the East Coast to know better the history and essence of these lands, this has been our favourite place. You are not going to a simple camp, you are going to an unique experience across various generations of the same family. The sunrises in the lake, the sounds of the forest at night and all the memories of the ancestors and the happiness they share... I have not enough words, as I was saying. Good luck, dear cabin we hope to meet you again in the future to find you staying still in time. We are proud of being a ridiculous part of your big history.
Miguel2015-06-13T00:00:00ZWas a lovely secluded spot.
Sam2016-06-29T00:00:00ZThis is the second time we've been to camp, and just when you think it couldn't get any better, it does. The lake and all of the amenities Jess graciously shares with us makes this place the BEST getaway in the NE on airbnb.
KAI2014-09-07T00:00:00ZWe LOVED the cabin!! We had a great even in the torrential down pour. The cabin was cozy, warm, and relaxing. We would highly recommend the space to anyone and happily stay again!
Sarah2015-10-01T00:00:00ZWe stayed one night in Jess's lake house as a stop on our way to Acadia Nat. Park. We enjoyed our short stay there! The house had everything we needed even if we preferred to brought our own bedsheets/towels to avoid a long check out process ;) The location was perfect! We had a good peaceful and cosy night there. We recommend!
Sophie2016-09-20T00:00:00ZHi Jess we had such a wonderful time at the cabin thanks so much for sharing with us. It was so quiet. We loved the cabin it was very rustic and the fact that you leave all your grandparents things there made it even more special. We didn't need or want for anything. It was a great time for all of us. we got to do some kayaking and antiquing and just chilled. would love to come again next year thanks a bunch. Dave Tahany and Dawn Peabody Ma.
David2016-10-17T00:00:00ZThank you Jess ! Your cabin was wonderful very cool with lots of great details only wish we would have had more than one night !
brett2014-10-13T00:00:00ZI went to this cute cabin with a group of friends for a weekend trip in mid October. It was exactly what we wanted; to get a way from our busy lives and just spend time around a warm fire. The Kitchen is extremely well stocked with cookware, cups, mugs, utensils. There are spices and oil for cooking! Convenient location just a mile from a Hannaford. Overall just an excellent place to stay!

Although my friend and I only stayed one night, Doubling Point Cottage was a wonderful place to stop in mid-coast Maine. It was impeccably clean, well-organized, and easy to access activities.
Christine2016-09-13T00:00:00ZThis is a great and quiet spot, near the beach and a bunch of small coastal towns
Will2016-10-11T00:00:00ZWe spent a week traveling in New England and agreed that our stay at Doubling Point was hands down the highlight of our trip - after a day trip to Portland we retreated to Bath for a quiet and relaxing evening in town and an early night in at Doubling Point. We appreciated the fine details of Destie and George's work on the cottage which are as they appear in the photos. Communication with Destie was incredibly on point and seamless and they were flexible with our arrival time - where we were able to meet George. It was lovely to see the combined love and energy put into the cottage as a couple. It was a perfect Airbnb experience. Thank you Destie and George! We hope to visit Bath again and will recommend any time! Genna and Sam
Genna2016-06-23T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay at Doubling Point Cottage. Destie and George have just done a splendid and quite thoughtful job putting the space together for guests who want to relax and enjoy the area. We loved traveling to the seacoast and bought local lobsters two nights and prepared them 2 ways (a traditional boil and a paella). The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom very comfortable. We hope to return again soon!
Jon2014-05-27T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at Destie's place in Bath. The house was cozy, comfortable, clean and well appointed! Many thanks! Hope to return sometime!
Katie2016-04-22T00:00:00ZDestie has a wonderful home that they offer. Very comfortable and charming. They have done a lot of work on the house and would have loved to stay longer. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend her place if you are staying in the Bath area.
sherb2016-10-21T00:00:00ZEverything was as described, and very satisfactory. Fresh beds, ready and waiting. Fluffy towels and nice hot shower. Welcome basket of organic cereals, granola bars, and chocolate lobster pops. Good reviews of nearby restaurants and attractions. Quiet safe neighborhood. We were very happy at Doubling Point Cottage!
susan2014-07-30T00:00:00ZEverything was perfect, from the communciation before our arrival, to the nice little notes once we entered, to the amazingly spacious and clean house, the perfect nature surroundings to the cozy beds and well-equipped kitchen. Well-suited for long-term stays or just weekend getaways. One of the best experiences on Airbnb so far.

Pip's house on the Kennebec is a small slice of paradise right outside of town. The house is warm and welcoming and tastefully decorated. The house is lovely and was a perfect place for my family. Pip was a very accommodating host and responsive to all my questions.
gretchen2016-06-20T00:00:00ZPip's places is the perfect spot for two couples or a family that want to stay somewhat close to Portland, but also want to explore Mid Coast Maine.
Nicholas2016-08-17T00:00:00ZWe had the perfect mini seaside vacation based at Philip's beautiful house in Bath. It is ideally located for some of Maine's most stunning beaches (including a private beach we were kindly allowed access to), pretty seaside towns (including Wiscasset) and great places to eat (Five Island Lobster co, Red's Eats etc.). The house is charming, spacious, airy, and beautifully clean, with everything one might need. Downtown Bath is close by for supplies, good places to eat, and the Maritime Museum. We couldn't have asked for anything more ideal. Pip is a kind and gracious host. We very much hope that we'll be back!
Verity2015-07-14T00:00:00ZConvenient location with a nice view. Well appointed and awesome book collection. Great layout for our family. Coffee and fresh milk was a nice touch.

sherb2016-10-13T00:00:00ZPhilip's place was perfect for us. A great location for a family, and we really enjoyed staying here. Philip was very responsive to anything we needed. I hope we can come back soon!
Michael2016-10-09T00:00:00ZJust returned from a wonderful week in Bath. Phillip's cottage was indeed charming. The cottage was as described and had pretty much everything we needed for our holiday. The location is wonderful - just on the outskirts of town, within walking distance of the Maritime Museum, which is well worth a visit (you get to visit twice with your admission receipt). Phillip provided us with lots of information about local sites, including a private beach. He answered all of our questions and attended to all our needs in a timely manner. The view from the porch is quite lovely. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.
Theresa 2015-06-17T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing stay at this charming home. 6 of us (ranging in age from 11 to 66) + 2 dogs stayed here, and we were all comfortable and happy with the layout, the accommodations, and the location. Mornings on the porch, overlooking the river was my favorite, while My kids loved the hot tub! Bath is a great little town, and the surrounding area offers so much to explore. Although we didn't meet Phillip, he was incredibly responsive and thoughtful (coffee fixings + a blueberry pie waiting). My only regret is that we didn't stay long enough!

A quick drive to Boothbay Harbor and walking distance to Reds Eats which I highly recommend to anyone staying in that area! I would surely rent again from Bill!
Liz2016-04-24T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at the cottage. It is the perfect location right off Route 1 with a beautiful view of Sheepscot River. It's also right over the bridge from the delicious Red's Eats! It was easy to explore midcoast Maine from here. We took day trips to Bath, Boothbay Harbor, Reid State Park, Pemaquid Point Light House. Inside was so clean, cute, and cozy. Perfect for two! We'd definitely recommend this cottage! Host was great with communication prior to arrival providing excellent, detailed directions and instructions.
Haley2015-09-19T00:00:00ZBill's cottage was fantastic. Absolutely as advertised. Looking forward to staying again.
Peter2015-04-20T00:00:00ZThis place is so adorable and cozy and has everything you need. Bill is very communicative and makes checking in ridiculously easy. We were going to go out to dinner, but the view was so lovely from the cottage that we got takeout instead so we could watch the sunset while we ate and just relax. It was really wonderful. The bed is crazy comfortable, too! You're right across the bridge from Wiscasset, so strolling over there for food or shopping or ice cream is really easy (I know Red's is famous and all, but if you like crab rolls, do not miss Sprauge's across the street from Red's!). I wish we could have stayed a whole week!
Seamane2016-08-10T00:00:00ZThe cottage was lovely. Beautifully decorated, well appointed, quiet, clean and peaceful with wonderful views of the water from the bedroom, dining room and living room. I was very grateful for the chance to stay there.
Bonnie2015-05-23T00:00:00ZThis is a wonderfully appointed cottage which sits right on the water. We arrived about dusk and found the two lawn chairs outside so we could sit and watch the sunset. Restaurants are close by. We greatly enjoyed our visit. The directions to the property were very easy to follow.
Michael2015-09-20T00:00:00ZWilliam's cottage exceeded our expectations. It was a great location, across the bridge from an adorable town with restaurants and shops and also 20 minute drive to Boothbay Harbor. The windows and view of the water was breathtaking. It was like a dream waking up in the bedroom to look out and see the sun coming up over the water. We felt very safe, everything was spotless, and the listing was exactly as described. We did not need to cook or use the kitchen area but it would have suited someone who did not need a full kitchen. Although we did not have direct contact wit the host, his instructions were clear, to the point, and easy to follow. We feel this location was excellent, especially for the price. We would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves back in Edgecomb, thank you William!
Tessa2016-09-28T00:00:00ZThis is a cozy and cute cottage. Spectacular sunset views, quiet and perfect. Would book again

Perfect spot for a quiet getaway. Beautiful view of the pond from the dining room table. Home was very quiet and private with everything you would need. Extremely clean. Stephen communicated well. Maine is beautiful with the majestic state parks, city of Portland and breweries!
Kayla2017-01-01T00:00:00ZWe rented Steve's cottage when we went away to Lost Valley ski resort for the weekend. His place was a perfect, cozy cabin after a couple long days of skiing. It was well-heated and the ideal cottage for a weekend away for two or a small family. The cottage was spotless and stocked with the basic necessities for a great weekend away. Steve was very communicative and had great ideas about what to do in the area. Thanks for making our first Airbnb experience simple and easy, Steve!
Lauren2017-01-16T00:00:00ZExcellent family camp, quiet and cozy Ice fished and caught a lot of perch, pike and a large mouth. Great time!
Kelly2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThe cabin is in a great location just off the highway right next to a pond. Isolated enough to feel like you're away on vacation but a close enough drive to do anything you'd want to. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. Perfect amount of space for two people to get away. We were there on a weekend with a snowstorm and -9 degree weather. The cabin was perfectly warm and Stephen was great at communicating for plowing the driveway. In all it was a great and easy experience.
Keegan2016-12-19T00:00:00ZWe were a bunch of hockey players from out of town that found the perfect budget accommodation on a pond. We shoveled out a decently sized rink and played for a few hours in the sun, followed by some beers - basically, every hockey player's idea of a perfect day. Sadly, we had to leave a day early because there was a snow storm on the way. The cottage is kinda challenging to get in and out of when there's a lot of fresh snow, if you don't have snow tires on; but Stephen does offer to plow when needed. My only issue was that I didn't get any cell phone reception and that there was no wi fi. Therefore, it was pretty difficult to post pictures or contact family, and made it difficult to contact Stephen. There is, however, a Starbucks a couple minutes away next to the roundabout. Some might be a little off-put by the super old TV with questionable picture/sound or get impatient with the slow keurig, but you probably didn't come to Maine to watch tv and drink coffee. Overall, I would absolutely stay there again, preferably not in between two big snow storms in the same weekend.
Taku2017-02-13T00:00:00ZVery cool cottage with a loft. The home is a few yards from the water-great views and very quiet area. The cottage itself was well-kept and clean. Plenty of space. We didn't meet Stephen in person, but he was great at communicating and having the place ready. Check-in/check-out was very smooth. Thanks, Stephen!
Steven2016-12-04T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at this lakeside cabin. The location was great to get around to Lewiston, Brunswick, and Augusta. The cabin was so cozy and clean. I highly recommend for anyone visiting Central Maine to check this out!
charlene2017-01-30T00:00:00ZSteven's cottage is great. It's at the edge of a quiet pond with a lovely view from the dining room window. It's spacious and funky with all expected conveniences. We were there Thanksgiving weekend, but if it had been fairer weather, we would have taken advantage of the outdoor deck. Thanks Steven!

Margareta2016-08-17T00:00:00ZClean, quaint, friendly host with great communication/direction skills. Thanks so much for the wonderful stay!
Jules2016-09-05T00:00:00ZI had a nice time staying at Heather's house during my recent trip to Maine. Heather is a great host who responded promptly during the booking process and provided everything I could have needed during my stay. Her charming house is really clean and well-maintained, and the surrounding area is lovely, yet only a short distance from some of the more popular towns in Maine. I enjoyed chatting with Heather and another houseguest in the morning while taking in the relaxed small town atmosphere. Heather happens to be an expert on nutrition and wellness, and it was really cool to have the opportunity to discuss the topic with her, as it is an area of interest to me as well. Thanks again to Heather for making my stay in Richmond an enjoyable one!
paul2016-08-16T00:00:00ZHeather did a great job communicating and ensured our late arrival was easy. Although I only spoke with Heather briefly as we left, she was very friendly. The space was exactly as described and her home was very clean.
Trevor2016-08-22T00:00:00ZHeather was full of information and very fun to talk with. The style of the house is old and quaint but insides are impeccably clean, neat, and tasteful with a country feel. Bed was comfortable and shower worked fine. Pleasantly quiet. Room not air-conditioned but didn't need it.

The tiny home has exceptional detail and is beautifully built. The property is also amazing, right on the water. We had a great time and will certainly stay again next time we're in Maine.
Stephanie2017-01-04T00:00:00ZJohn warmly welcomed me on an icy night to the tiny house. He indulged me by answering all sorts of questions I had about the design and construction of the house he built on wheels as we walked through and and I got acclimated. I could go on forever about the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail, the placement of lights and windows, and selection of perfectly scaled appliances to make you feel right at home. Since it was Christmastime, there were thoughtful personalized elements to help me celebrate the season like the adorable tabletop snowmen whose tummy's lit up and the little sparkling snowflakes adorning the house, not to mention a sampling of homemade cookies waiting for me inside. Since I was not familiar with the area, John made sure I had all the details on where to get the best pizza in town. Everything was pristine and functional. I brought food to cook the next day and the kitchen had everything that I needed to prepare my meal. The natural light pours in during the day. There is a comfy couch to nestle into and read a book while sipping some tea. There are plenty of little hide-a-way places to stash excess bags or boxes out of the way and shelving on which to place your garments so that everything is arranged neatly and not just stuffed in a bag or on the floor. The house is placed on beautiful property and alongside the picturesque Kennebeck River. Val and Randy were just across the yard and attentive to any needs that I had, including bringing over an extra pillow. They invited me over for coffee and breakfast in the morning and to get to know each other. Later they took me on a drive to a couple of area beaches, that I would not have discovered on my own, and we enjoyed brisk walks along the coast for some spectacular views and good conversation. I felt very much like I was visiting with old friends and know that my privacy was also respected. It was wonderful to share stories with such kind people. I enjoyed all aspects of my stay in the cute and cozy tiny house and highly recommend to anyone interested in tiny, the outdoors, peace, solitude, new friendships, nature, and a little adventure.
Anne-Marie2016-12-28T00:00:00ZWe loved the place! It was so well done and we can't recommend it enough. Great hospitality as well!
Andrew2017-01-01T00:00:00ZI have always been curious about tiny houses and decided to rent one for my birthday for my girlfriend and I for a little getaway. The location is beautiful along the river with stunning sunsets. The property owners Randy and Val were very welcoming! We had a bonfire and s'mores and they gave me an ice cream for my birthday along with a hand made birthday card! They also gave us some fresh coffee grounds for the morning (we all know how important coffee is!) The tiny house was everything I expected and more! The bed was very comfortable and shower was nice and hot. We are already wanting to plan another stay here in the summer time! 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking to see what tiny house living is like.
Sean2017-02-21T00:00:00ZWe loved celebrating our second wedding anniversary in such a unique place. The place is small, but it is fully equipped and comfortable. Randy and Val are wonderful hosts and even left us a small gift and card for our anniversary. We had coffee with them in the morning before heading to Reid State Park to wander down Mile Beach. (the tiny house is on the same property as their home.) We loved the Tiny House life and we can't wait to come back.
Ellie2017-01-22T00:00:00ZFirst time staying in a Tiny Home. Loved it! Hosts were very pleasant.

Yes we felt very welcome by Katie. Had breakfast there in the am. She recommended a great place to eat. Would never have found restaurant on out own. It was such a nice visit. Would highly recommend .
kathleen2016-09-27T00:00:00ZI had a great stay in the penthouse. I was traveling for work and wanted someplace more interesting than a hotel to stay, and this was perfect. The house is on a quiet section of the pond. I went for a nice canoe ride at sunset on perfectly flat water which was a great way to unwind. There were some campers passing through on bikes and we chatted for a long while before heading to bed. The caretaker was very friendly and helpful as well. The room itself has windows on all sides and is spacious. It was nice, clean, and relaxing. I had a great stay and would love to return next year!
John2016-09-25T00:00:00ZWonderful and peaceful experience , great chance to get a feel of the true nature of Maine.
Deng2016-09-12T00:00:00ZAs was described this was a rustic somewhat secluded location. We had just the relaxing end to our holiday as we wished. Kati was very helpful and we enjoyed chatting with her over breakfast before we departed.
Peter2016-09-18T00:00:00ZWe arrived later than expected from Acadia, but Katy waited up for us. The room was spacious and beautiful. We wanted to go out on the canoe but it was raining. Definitely choose to stay here if in the area!

Natasha was very welcoming and accommodating. She was a great hostess and I hope to stay with her again.
Konrad2016-06-06T00:00:00ZWe had such a great time! Natasha was so wonderfully kind and generous with vegetables from her garden. She had great tips on local trails and swimming spots to keep us occupied with small town fun. The swimming hole on her property is well worth the whole dang trip! We will be staying here any time we are in Maine, for sure. Thanks so much Natasha!
Tea2015-09-07T00:00:00ZI was already crazy excited to stay at this hip & relaxing Airbnb, but once I arrived, it took my breath away. Perfect place for a weekend away from technology, with a good book, trails to walk in the woods & the best form of peace & quiet. Besides the trailer, Natasha just finishes out the whole package. She's warm, kind, invited me into her home to look around, offered me apples & produce from her garden and had me try her homemade apple crisp before leaving! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. :) We'll be back as soon as we can!
Tara2016-10-24T00:00:00ZThe trailer was great! Exactly as described and very comfortable. We had everything we needed for the weekend
Melanie2016-08-31T00:00:00ZNatasha is a gracious host and goes out of her way to make sure we have everything needed. The trailer is clean and comfy. We prefer to stay there when we are in the area.
Neal2016-10-18T00:00:00ZThis trailer is the stuff vacation escapes are made of! We were looking for a space to read, write, cook, sleep, adventure, go for walks, and lie in the sun. That is exactly what we got - and more. This funky little space is wifi free so you can actually follow through on an Internet vacation and enjoy the simple things in life. The vibe is laid back, no frills, and you can't help but leave your stress behind. Located near many cute towns, the ocean, several parks, and lots of great places to walk, this little gem is the perfect space to get away from the speed of life and enjoy watching the clouds glide by. Natasha is an exceptional host, feeding us lots of garden goodies, showing us the perks of the property (AKA blackberries and a private swimming hole), and giving us ideas for things to do. We'll be back!
Nicholas2016-09-04T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at Natasha's excellent retro trailer, as well as around her beautiful property and gardens. She made us feel very welcome. The trailer was spacious and comfortable and she is a great source of local knowledge of the greater Whitefield area, with all of its agrarian treasures.

I appreciated the quick communication with the owner!
Jane2016-10-26T00:00:00ZThe cabin was great and everything we hoped it would be from reading the description--private, cozy, and comfortable. Julie was attentive to answering questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Great experience all around!
Sam 2016-04-25T00:00:00ZThe Davis Island Waterfront Retreat was terrific. It is a small cottage--two bedrooms, one bath, one main room--with outstanding views of the Sheepscot River, a tidal river. Watching the tide go in and out was one of the most relaxing things I did all week! It's a very quiet harbor, without much boat traffic. Wiscasset/Edgecomb is very conveniently located (within 60 minutes) to L.L. Bean on the one end and Camden on the other. Julie was a very patient and accommodating host, answering questions quickly and cheerfully. Because I was traveling solo, I felt a need to check in with her and she was always responsive! Julie and Bruce are known in the neighborhood, and their neighbors are very friendly and helpful as well. It was a refreshing and peaceful getaway, exactly what I needed! If you're looking for great waterfront views, this is the place! The decor is quite nautical; you could spend a day just looking at everything in the cottage!
Liz2016-08-07T00:00:00ZThis cabin exceeded our expectations tenfold! It was like staying in a pristine nautical-themed hotel! The view was fantastic, the location incredibly convenient, and the community seemed very safe. We got some of the best photos of our trip from the fantastic INTERIOR of this home! Very clean, exactly as advertised, and Julie was a breeze to communicate with, also. Very comfortable for four adults to stay and we're already hoping for a return trip!
Gloria2016-05-26T00:00:00ZJulie was the perfect Host. She made herself available for questions and checked in with us when we arrived. It was a beautiful spot...with really scenic views across Sheepscott Harbor. Comfy beds, impeccably clean with the interior dotted with multiple examples of maritime history. Fascinating and creative experience that far exceeded our expectation. No stove, but there is a fully stocked kitchen with a microwave and a toaster oven. Fun to walk over the bridge and eat at Reds!
Linda2016-09-11T00:00:00ZJulie's home was very comfortable and inviting. Her home is filled with antiques, which are tastefully scattered throughout the cabin. The nautical theme was both playful and elegant-ideal for a small family. Situated directly on the Sheepscot River, Julie's cabin offers wonderful views. My husband and I passed many peaceful hours reading as we gazed out at the water. The location of the cabin is extremely convenient. A short trip over the bridge brings you to Wiscasset where you will find charming shops and antique stores. Moreover, the restaurants are top notch, serving fresh seafood and produce. Edgecomb is also quite close to Boothbay Harbor, which offers plenty of fun day adventures, as well as delicious food. Also, Julie was so great to work with. She made us feel instantly comfortable in her home, and was responsive to all our questions. I absolutely recommend her home as a place to stay for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway in lovely Maine.
Amy2016-06-13T00:00:00ZMy wife and I did a driving trip up the coast of Maine and this cabin was the best place we stayed all week. The cabin was amazing. It is right on the water and you can see Wiscasset from the window. The sunsets are beautiful over the water. The cabin itself was decorated with a lot of old nautical pieces like harpoons and buoys but was still really homey. Now the important stuff, the bed was nice and comfy, the kitchen was small but nice, and the cabin in general was clean and in good shape. I'm hoping to get back there next year some time for a longer trip.
Rob2016-03-14T00:00:00ZExcellent stay. Julie's cabin is lovely, with a clean, incredible nautical-themed interior and a peaceful location by the Sheepscot River. Julie was very helpful and responsive in the lead-up to our visit, and it was easy to find and get into the cabin.

the Dickerson formula
Sunday, 12/12/04 07:45 PM
I had a weird sense of familiarity seeing a post from John Robb about The Dickerson Formula:
"In 1977, Richard Dickerson, then a professor of physical chemistry at Caltech, noted that the number of protein crystal structures had risen from one solved by the end of 1961 to 23 solved by the end of 1977. His formula predicted that by March 2001, scientists would have solved the 3-D structures of a grand total of more than 12,000 proteins. By that date, the Protein Data Bank (PDB) had posted 12,123 protein structures."
Richard Dickerson was my undergrad advisor while I was at Caltech. I was only passingly familiar with his conjecture, which in the intervening years has graduated to a "law".
My father was a crystallographer, and in collaboration with Linus Pauling published the structure of Retinol, one of the chemicals known as Vitamin A, in 1956. Although they did not completely solve the 3D structure in the Dickerson sense, they determined the Amino Acid configurations and detailed configuration of the active sites, the first time this had been done for any organic molecule.
The techniques at their disposal were primitive by today's standards; the formulae had to be laboriously worked by hand, and much of the arithmetic to compute crystal reflections was done using slide rules. Pauling's team went on to solve the detailed structure of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) using the same techniques, which was the first molecule completely characterized in 3D, in 1961 (the first data point for the Dickerson conjecture).
It is a small world.

Suggestions for online stores:
Victor Davis Hanson bonks another nail on the head: The Ents of Europe, how "old Europe" resembles the Tolkein characters. "Gut-check time is coming for Europe, with its own rising unassimilated immigrant populations, rogue mosques entirely bent on destroying the West, declining birth rate and rising entitlements, the Turkish question, and a foreign policy whose appeasement of Arab regimes won it only a brief lull and plenty of humiliation." Will the old Ents awaken, or will they slumber on, muttering nonsense to themselves, lost in past grandeur and utterly clueless about the dangers on their borders?
Sisu wonders about Rats Leaving the Sinking Ship. "Escaping the stress of clogged roads, street violence and loss of faith in Holland's once celebrated way of life, the Dutch middle classes are leaving the country in droves for the first time in living memory." Hmmm... Even Adam Curry moved to England. Not that he's a rat, he's more like a savvy canary.
Francis Porretto on Finding the Waste Line: "The observation about input is economically fundamental: you cannot make anything new out of a single input. All production involves a combination of some kind of working substance with some kind of labor." And this is the driver of outsourcing in America... read it! [ via American Digest ]
This is awesome - there is now an ice rink 200' above the ground in the Eiffel Tower. [ via Kate Yandoh ]
Another cool TV / PC convergence thing: The Sassam OnAir HDTV let's you watch HDTV on your computer. It's gotten to the point where if you imagine a device with some capability, it already exists. [ via Tom's Hardware ]
A terrific interview with Stephen Hawking: The Science of Second Guessing. "My expectations were reduced to zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus." What an amazing person he is, not just an incredible scientist, but a wonderful thinker in all areas. [ via Ann Althouse ]
GNXP skewers the NYTimes' "year in ideas" issue. I have to admit, they found a lot of interesting ideas from the year, but their take is amazingly clueless.
JavaHMO is an open-source replacement for Tivo's Home Media Option. It has an amazingly long list of features - including email and RSS integration - and since the source code is available you can add to them yourself :) [ via George Hotelling ]
Scott Loftesness links Robert X. Cringley's thoughts on the IBM-Lenovo deal and summarizes: "IBM's playing chess, the others are still playing checkers." Interesting.
Hey, iTunes now supports PayPal. That's pretty cool. Good for Apple - they lower their cost of processing payments - and good for PayPal - they get additional flow, great publicity, and added legitimacy. And good for us, we get another payment option!

Water is the most essential element of life and without water life is unimaginable on the globe. The gift of water has been earlier plenty to fulfill the human requirement but same is now fast depleting. Owing to the growing realization of this acute shortage of water that the world would encounter in days to come that some water experts have predicted that water will be the main cause of conflict among the nation-states in future.
Pakistan came into being on 14th of August 1947 and soon after its creation it was faced with the severe problem of water shortage. The British had laid an extensive network of canals and water head works in Punjab in the united India to irrigate lands and it was due to the connivance between Hindu leadership and Sir Radcliffe, Head of the infamous Boundary Commission, that the major head works of water went into the Indian control at the time of the Partition. India took advantage of this situation and in April 1948 withheld water from the head works flowing across its borders into Pakistan and thereby ringing alarm across the newly born country to take appropriate actions to ensure adequate supply of water. The action of India to stop water supply to Pakistan, therefore, forced the latter to start negotiations with India to restore the uninterrupted supply of water to Pakistan. Consequent upon successful negotiations, India agreed to restore the supply of water in return for payment by Pakistan.
Distribution of water resources between Pakistan and India has been one major area of discord since Partition. It is a matter of common knowledge that both states as well as international actors made efforts to resolve the dispute over water but to no avail. However, a serious attempt towards the resolution of water dispute was made in 1960 with the active support of World Bank and other global financial institutions and after extensive negotiations it resulted in water sharing agreement over trans-boundary rivers under "Indus Basin Water Treaty". The Indus Water Treaty (IWT) succeeded in helping both the countries to overcome the water disputes for over three decades; however, for quite some time the issue of water has again come to fore with an unprecedented force when India, taking advantage of certain provisions of the Treaty, has started building reservoirs to the utter detriment of Pakistan.
This paper is an attempt to critically analyze the Indus Water Treaty, gauging as to what extent the Treaty safeguarded the interests of Pakistan and its lasting impacts on the dispute of water distribution between two neighbouring states besides suggesting certain measures for implementing the clauses of the Treaty fairly so that no side suffers.

Kimchi Kawaii is looking to build the Punny Buns family – a group of bunny characters themed on bread puns. To do so, they have launched their sixth Kickstarter.
In 2015, Kimchi Kawaii launched the first Punny Buns Kickstarter. Over 200 backers helped send the Honey Bun, Hamburger Bun and Steamed Bun into full production. These characters have been very popular at anime conventions around the country and internationally through the online shop.
Since then, more characters have been created. "Customers tell me that the characters bring a smile to their faces and I love that. I want to continue bringing that joy with the new characters," said Holly Guenther, owner and artist of Kimchi Kawaii.
Kimchi Kawaii was started in 2008 by Guenther as a creative outlet celebrating her Korean heritage, love of puns and the Japanese style of cute art known as 'kawaii'. Her 'punny' designs cover a wide range of subjects. She has six Kickstarters under her belt with five of them funding over their initial goals.
Interested backers can visit the already successfully funded Kickstarter campaign and get some of this cuteness at: LINK

Hello. Let me take a second to introduce myself. I am Neetu, Manish's younger sister by 2 years. We live together in an apartment and have decided to transition to polyphasic napping as a new lifestyle. Why waste all that time sleeping? Life's too short? Not anymore!
Anyways, I am writing his blog because he is incoherent to mentally tasking activities at the moment. He spent two nights sleeping for about 5 hours of sleep each night, and now he is further sleep deprived on the polyphasic sleep diet. He has resulted to cleaning his room and organizing his socks to stay awake. We look forward to the moment when fatigues stops being an issue, and the productivity really kicks in. At the moment, it is just a battle between us and the clock.
We were inspired by the by the experiment of Steve Pavlina and the constant borage and enthusiasm of our buddy Cornrow. On Pavlina's blog, you can read about his experiences and challenges in adopting to the new sleep schedule. Luckily, we are scattering our sleep cycles so that we can wake each other up after our naps. Cornrow got an early start and is pretty much already on the schedule, which is fantastic so he can keep us psyched and drive us around when we are delerious!
So, according to Steve, he is okay as long as he is up and going or doing something. What if we just want to chill and watch a movie? Will we still be able to just sit and chill normally?
Anyways, we'll keep you updated. Manish will get back to you when he is no longer mentally fried. good night. wait, good morning. whatever.
Alright, rocketeers... this post is on a subject that's near and dear to my heart.
Whenever people hear about the polyphasic sleep schedule, they come up with reasons they couldn't do it. I don't know why... It's really awesome and everyone should want to do it. By far the most common excuse is :
"But I love my sleep. I would never want to give it up."
Everyone will tell you that sleep is important. But no one "really" knows why we sleep, there are many theories of course.
Sleep is a topic that I've been interested in for quite some time now. I've even tried experimenting with my sleep, until a few weeks ago.
I've tried the Everyman polyphasic sleep schedule in 11th grade. The Everyman schedule is split into a block of core sleep, usually 3 hours and 3 power naps throughout the day, which totals to 4 hours of daily sleep. I failed miserably because I simply couldn't hack the sleep deprivation and how it made me feel. It felt as if I was a vegetable moving through the world. So I went back to mono-phasic sleep.
A year later, I decided to try it again, same story, couldn't handle the sleep deprivation.

More About MeMy hobbies: cooking, stamps, photography, art, fashion, history, languages, flowers. I like to cook salads, soups. My favorite cuisine: French, Japanese, Chinese, Russian. I like these kinds of music: classical, pop, jazz, opera. I have good music collection for my taste. I usually read classics books. I like to go to theater, cinema, exhibitions, museums, concerts, parks, zoo. At evening I learn English and German. I like these physical activities: dancing, swimming, figure-skating, travelling. I am happy, optimistic loyal, caring, faithful, confident, calm, smart, responsible, kind, flexible, elegant, sociable, friendly, open, creative, talented, perposeful, domestic woman, generous, cheerful, witty. As to me I don�t like loneliness and I don�t want to be lonely. I think, if people want to be happy they should look for their happiness, despite all the difficulties. To be happy for me means to be with a beloved man with whom I could spend the rest of my life. I think, if people love each other they want to be always together and to give each other more pleasant emotions. That�s why it�s very important for me to be with a man who will love me and our home. I like gardening, handling domestic chores, taking care of my husband. I have never been interested in my career. I can say that my home is everything to me. First of all, it�s a place where I can wake up in the morning with a beloved man near me, it�s a place where I can spend evenings with my family and feel comfortable, finally it�s a place where I can see my friends. But please, don�t think that I am preoccupied with my family life only. I�m a very broad-minded person and I�m very eager to get to know a lot of interesting things in the world. I�m ready to take a person with all his merits and demerits. I want to create family relationships based on mutual respect, on desire to understand and help each other when troubles come. I�m sure that it is important for a man to be better than a woman to some extent. He should be a quite mature person, he should be confident, go ahead in life and reach success. Besides, he should be patient with woman�s weaknesses and whims. On my part, I would try to create a friendly atmosphere in my family and I would try to be a good wife for my beloved man to make him feel happy with me. I want to hope for happiness if we like each other and understand each other.
Ideal RelationshipMy favorite gentleman is intelligent, well educated, financially secure, family oriented, man of his word, faithful, confident, decisive, generous, calm.

"Howdowe think?" N. Katherine Hayles poses this question at the beginning of this bracing exploration of the idea that we think through, with, and alongside media. As the age of print passes and new technologies appear every day, this proposition has become far more complicated, particularly for the traditionally print-based disciplines in the humanities and qualitative social sciences. With a rift growing between digital scholarship and its print-based counterpart, Hayles argues for contemporary technogenesis—the belief that humans and technics are coevolving—and advocates for what she calls comparative media studies, a new approach to locating digital work within print traditions and vice versa.Hayles examines the evolution of the field from the traditional humanities and how the digital humanities are changing academic scholarship, research, teaching, and publication. She goes on to depict the neurological consequences of working in digital media, where skimming and scanning, or "hyper reading," and analysis through machine algorithms are forms of reading as valid as close reading once was. Hayles contends that we must recognize all three types of reading and understand the limitations and possibilities of each. In addition to illustrating what a comparative media perspective entails, Hayles explores the technogenesis spiral in its full complexity. She considers the effects of early databases such as telegraph code books and confronts our changing perceptions of time and space in the digital age, illustrating this through three innovative digital productions—Steve Tomasula's electronic novel,TOC; Steven Hall'sThe Raw Shark Texts; and Mark Z. Danielewski'sOnly Revolutions. Deepening our understanding of the extraordinary transformative powers digital technologies have placed in the hands of humanists,How We Thinkpresents a cogent rationale for tackling the challenges facing the humanities today.

Five Food Finds about Nachos:
Nachos were invented near the Amercian/Mexican border in Piedras Negras, Mexico.
The term "Nacho" is a common nickname for Ignacio. It was invented in 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya.
Nachos as we know them aren't Mexican food, they're Tex-Mex.
The first known appearance of the word "nachos" in English dates to 1949, from the book A Taste of Texas.
Today's Food History
