   Where is everybody?

   Here’s my prediction: Hillary does poorly in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and S. Carolina, showing weakness among the electorate at large. She pours everything she’s got into Florida to gain a moral victory (because their delegates won’t count) and then cleans up on Super Tuesday, sealing the nomination. She’s basically Bob Dole rehashed.

   Murray Gell-Mann: Beauty and truth in physics

   “Wielding laypeople’s terms and a sense of humor, Nobel Prize winner Murray Gell-Mann drops some knowledge about particle physics, asking questions like, Are elegant equations more likely to be right than inelegant ones? Can the fundamental law, the so-called “theory of everything,” really explain everything? His answers will surprise you.”

   “Murray Gell-Mann brings visibility to a crucial aspect of our existence that we can’t actually see: elemental particles. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for introducing quarks, one of two fundamental ingredients for all matter in the universe.”

   Just for fun. The Candidate Spousal Match Game

   It’s time to play a little game I call the Candidate Spousal Match Game. Match the presidential candidate spouse photo with the presidential candidate:

   You know, the match for B totally shocked me.

   Good quiz. The two that took a minute were Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Dodd. Of course K was the real stumper.

   There was a post made by Tim on preaching tips around a year ago. This topic led Nick Fox to post on the same topic but with what he considered to be tips for preaching. This led to a lengthy discussion on Nick’s blog between him and myself. Nick has chosen to make it a two part thread on his blog and I have linked to it on mine (as well as the original). If anyone cares to read:

   Here is Tim’s original post.

   Here is a link to my blog where links are provided to Nick’s.

   Thanks for the link to Gell-Mann, Cineaste. I really enjoyed the presentation. The elegant description of the physical creation through mathematics never fails to fascinate me. It’s too beautiful to be an accident.
