I picked up a four piece split bamboo fly rod in a hexagonal pole case with metal eyes and a maker's logo, but I can't read the name. It is signed by "Beaver Bill" just above the top of the handle. It's in great shape for the suspected age. How do I find out how much it is worth?

That marking is actually Beaverkill, after the famous trout river in the Catskill region of NY. Your rod was a low-to-medium grade rod produced by Horrocks-Ibbotson of Utica, NY sometime in the 40's or 50's. In average used condition it might bring $50.

In the article, “How to test a ground rod” under reducing ground system resistance it states to place an additional rod 8ft from an 8ft long rod. This is incorrect. It should be twice that.

In NEC (2014): 250.53(A)(3) and 250.53(B) seem to say additional electrode rods shall "not be less than 1.83 m (6 feet) apart". However, it is noted that the "paralleling efficiency...

This two piece split bamboo fly rod has part of a label still in it. I can see the last three letters of a word gue, and another word of "harbor". There is a fish with green on the gill plate and red behind the figure and the handle is wood and the guides and ferrule are brass. What is this?

That's a saltwater boat rod, not a fly rod. It was produced by Montague and sold as the Stone Harbor model.

Couldn't I just type in a couple commands like '/gamerule keepInventory true' and '/kill' or just change to creative mode and fly out?

You could do that, but some players don't play with cheats and would rather find a way out that doesn't involve cheating. It can sometimes be more enjoyable trying to...

I got a folded Murano piece at a second-hand store. There are three lines on the bottom that say 'Yalas', then 'Casa' and, lastly, 'Murano'. How old is it, and is it worth anything?

Because it has the print, it could have been made anytime from the mid-to-late 1800s up to the 90s. Yalas Casa Murano makes beautiful pieces, and if you go to...
