DD~ that was very clever of you to do.
Talk about "compare & contrast" lessons!
OW#1 and XNPDH were arguing as to weather their daughter should have a night light. The mother believed she should, and XNPD thought she shouldn't.
Her email to him after the initial arguement:
Some interesting reading about bedtime, written by professionals-
Particular quote from this site, which was written by professionals, concerning night lights:
Do a quick check before you say goodnight
Before turning out the light, check that your child has done all the things she might call out about later. Has she had a drink? Been to the toilet? Brushed her teeth?
Turn on a night-light if this makes your child feel more comfortable.
_____ is not a Marine recruit- letting her have a night light for comfort does not make her a 'baby' as you stated. When a child is going back and forth between two homes her comfort at the place she stays least often should be carefully considered with compassion and love- if letting her have a night light makes her happy why would you deny her that?
After her weekend with you she spoke several times about being afraid of the dark and having bad dreams, if a night light would alleviate that fear, why would you deny her. Don't you realize that truly borders on cruelty? Do you want her to think that you are cruel and unyeilding? or loving and compassionate- it all comes down to what kind of father you want to be of course and it is not spoiling her or making her a 'baby' it is helping her to feel just as secure at your house as she does at mine. If you want her to trust you- she needs to know that you are willing to meet her needs and that you will be supportive and compassionate - Don't you realize that if you aren't- then her ability to trust that you truly care about her will be damaged, it will affect your future relationship with her. Regardless of how you feel about me- don't take it out on her, don't be so bullheaded that you deny her what she needs just to 'show me', that's wrong and a grave injustice to your daughter.
His response to email:
OW#1's full name; first, middle, and last),
You never cease to amaze me how ingnorant you can be! You refer to an article for me to read to explain your reasoning for allowing _____ to have a night light when she goes to bed and your too shallow to read the entire article to realize what your doing wrong as a parent. Or you're too confused to understand what your reading in the first place. Let me make it easy for you. The word is ROUTINE!!! Read the article yourself ___ and learn something! _____ hasn't needed a night light for over a year and now, all of a sudden, she needs a night light and doesn't want to go to bed alone. Take a second ___. Can you figure this one out or do you need me to spell it out for you? Look at what you've subjected _____ to recently. She is a child and children like a regular routine. You've managed to turn her world completely inside out by once again moving and separating _____ from her own personal possessions and friends and your too interested in finding a way to appease her than solving the problem at hand. I guess that defines your relationship with _____. You would rather be her playmate than a parent. This is simple ___. You should keep _____ to her regular routine. We DO NOT allow her to have a night light. She doesn't need one. If she does have one, it takes longer for her to fall asleep. We DO NOT allow her to sleep with us. She is not a baby and shouldn't be treated as one. She needs to learn to sleep by herself. We DO NOT allow her to urinate in her bed at night. This is a no brainer ___. I can't believe you allow her to do this!
You obviously have no clue to the relationship between _____ and I. I am her father and we are very close. I truly believe she 'trusts' me and respects me. Do you think a child will respect a parent that allows them to do virtually anything they want? What do you think _____ will think of you? Do you not want her to grow up? Look in the mirror and solve the problem ___.
Another concern I have, which you still haven't responded to, is the fact you allow _____ to frequent fast food restaurants. Have you not noticed the weight she is gaining? She is gaining too much weight. This is not normal for her age and is not healthy.
I can sum up this e-mail very easily in referring to the first line of your e-mail you sent me. You would rather view my parenting skills as being overbearing treating _____ as a 'recruit' than understand what direction _____ needs. Apparently your incapable of parenting _____ and would rather appease her because it's easier. I believe you also prefer to depict me in a cruel manner towards _____ in order to make up for your inadequacies. Do you think giving me the 'finger' and calling me a 'dumb ass' while _____ watched this in mature antic of your was the depiction of a good parent?
Please keep in mind ___ that my concern is certainly not for you personally. It's how you parent my daughter and what you subject her to. My concern is for what affects her.
You could use some parenting classes!!
After the BOLD "routine" the rest of the email is written in a large font and is ALL bold. He types in a very bizarre style like he thinks it looks cool or something. Then at the end, he signs his name like this:
*~~John~~* (not his real name)
I think that I REALLY F'in WEIRD!!!
All of that psycho babble and then he ends the email with this, "Hey babe, look how cool I sign my name type of thing."
I'm going to go PUKE!!!

When another woman takes your husband,
sometimes the best thing you can do for
yourself is to LET HER HAVE the worthless
OC born 2001

Remarried 2008 (New Guy)
Your NPDX is a real monster, Sad. I wrote you a long note and somehow lost it. Now, I'm too braindead to do it again. Just wanted you to know that I hear you, and I care.
I thought about all of you great people (incl. me) with a NPD monster in your lives. Each one is worse than the next! How did we ever make it a day with these monsters? What were we thinking? But, it's done -- they are who they are -- and we can't do a thing about it. Except look at ourselves. The shell that these NPD monsters left behind.
People like Threnody (who I had the pleasure of meeting IRL) got away from her NPD monster (mostly) and has a great, "normal" life with great "normal" kids and a great "normal" guy. But she is still here posting. That demon person will leave behind a scar on all of us.
During one of my "conversations that never go anywhere" with my STBXN he mentioned that his IC said that I exhibit classical passive-aggressive behavior.
I thought about it, objectively. Even though I would never admit it to him (which is really a sign of P/A behavior in itself) I was thinking that... yes... I do think I am P/A. It is a defense mechanism that I picked up over the 16 years I was married to the guy.
But I never used to be P/A. I never USED to have depression. I USED to be "normal". "Normal" being, of course, a relative term.
I think I am rambling. But it just bugs me more than being in a horrible D situation - a SAHM with no job, money or income with three hurting kids ... that he took away my "normalcy".

"Women are like tea bags...you never know how strong they are until they are in hot water!!!"
I know the huge problems he is facing getting that specialty atty. But, I've decided to be cooperative, not to hold up the legalities.
I feel like Chief Joseph saying, 'I shall fight no more'.
I will see my atty soon & firm up the terms & feel its best that I be the one to initiate the Legal Seperation.
Its not that this is what is best for him, or...'awww, poor lil baby, he has to go 5 hours each way to see his atty'...its what is best for ME so that I can indeed-- Move On.
Oh, and when I went to the post office to gather up my mail, he had sent me a lovely Wedding Anniv. card. & signed it: 'love always, & all ways, "psycho" (well, ya know!LOL)_____
[This message edited by dreamlife at 5:02 PM, November 10th (Saturday)]
but I read a really good article about "liars" and it describes my STBXH to a T! See what you think:
The Liar
Everyone lies at least occasionally. But some people lie as a matter of course. What makes someone a persistent liar?
Deception comes easily to highly narcissistic people because since childhood they have been deceiving themselves about who they are. Their external image, and internal grandiose self-image, are so important that they will resort to any deception to maintain them. He (or she) surrounds himself with a protective wall of pretence, role-playing, and misinformation. The more extreme the narcissist, the more he hides behind lies. Lies shield him from knowing, and prevent others from discovering, the fallible, vulnerable, imperfect individual he actually is but cannot admit to being.
He cannot be honest about the most basic thingwho he is. He is an impostor who misrepresents himself and uses deception as a weaponfor winning, for putting one over on others, for fooling them, and to prove his cleverness and superiority. His dishonesty is more than just everyday evasions or white lies; it is persistent, extensive and flagrant deceit. His lies are meant to induce others into believing his conjuring trick, to convince them that his view of the world and himself is the accurate one.
Yet, he can seem so trustworthy, so convincingly sincere. He can look you straight in the eye while he lies and not flinch. When asked a question, a lie may well be his first, automatic response. He makes promises, and may even mean them at the time, but he rarely keeps them. His excuses for not keeping them are works of art. A narcissist feels no guilt for lying, only a sense of failure if he is caught, and increased superiority when a lie is successful, because he has so easily fooled someone.
Lying serves several other purposes:
* it can conceal misbehaviour and faults.
* avoid punishment and disapproval.
* give freedom from conforming to others standards while seeming to.
* hide a lack of concern for others without alienating them.
* keeps up the appearance of co-operation and ethical behaviour.
* keeps others at a distance to limit their control or influence.
* is a source of power that negates the person lied to and gives the teller control.
Narcissists are rarely open. Even when not telling outright lies he confuses people with spin, doublespeak, muddled logic, contradictions, or he avoids certain issues and subjects, or pretends views and feelings that dont exist. He is often a skilled arguer, a sophist who uses false premises and quibbling, unsound, argument to rationalize his behaviour and hide the truth.
Sometimes his lies are not deliberate but just an instant response, the first thing that comes into his head with no conscious thought behind it. Often, he simply does not make sense. His communication is bound to be distorted because he doesnt really know himself, what he feels, or what he wants. He may for example say that he wants something that he is expected to want (such as children) without every thinking much about the reality of it. And when he gets his wish and finds it is not really to his liking after all, he quickly loses interest. He is often therefore contradictory, confusing and impossible to really get to know.
When a narcissist has enough ambition and intelligence he is frequently successful and then his dishonesty may border on unscrupulousness. He may ruthlessly use others to advance himself, undermine competitors, cheat, steal, defraud or break laws in minor or major ways.
Loving a liar/narcissist is a confusing and often demoralizing experience. He uses words as a means to achieve his ends and they frequently bear no relationship to his feeling. So, he may tell people, and especially a partner, what they want to hear without flinching at his own blatant insincerity. His performance is often so polished that he fools not only a potential partner, but her friends and family as well, so that no one ever warns her that this guy is not what he seems. At first, he uses the good guy image to con his way into a womans affections but the relationship has an artificial basis. She does not love an authentic man, but a pretend one.
He is always trying to put something over on his partner, to keep her at a distance, to keep her from really knowing or understanding him, to keep himself in the one-up position in the relationship, and prove that he is smarter and the one in control. His philosophy is what she doesnt know wont hurt her. So, he will lie about the most trivial and inconsequential things, denying his partner the right to even the most basic information from him.
He lies about anything and everything to the point where his partner might doubt her perception, his sanity, or her own. His lies inflict a deliberate delusion on his partner, which he expects her to accept without question. And no matter how often he lies, he still expects her to trust and adore him.
Even if he doesnt tell outright lies, he withholds information, which is usually harder to detect than outright lies. He has secrets and hides things, perhaps because he is afraid other people might use information against him. He assumes others have the same sort of motives that he does.
A partner might catch him in dozens of lies, deceptions, evasions and possibly even infidelity, but he is indignant and hurt if she doesnt trust him. He will in fact most likely swear that he is honest to a fault, is open and trustworthy and never tells lies and if she thinks otherwise, then she must be paranoid, twisted, or mentally ill.
Trust and honesty are essential for healthy relationships. Being lied to feels like a double betrayalthe behaviour that was lied about and the lie itself. Being lied to makes us feel disrespected and vulnerable. To be intentionally told that something is other than what it is feels like an assault on our judgement, perception, and ability to assess our world. Lying is a hostile act, withholding the facts of reality to someone who has a right to them.
Lying contaminates any relationship but perhaps the cruellest deception is to lead someone on and deceive them about the depth and sincerity of a commitment to the relationship, which is why infidelity is triply painful (being fooled, betrayed, and denied ).

DD123...excellent post, and probably applicable in a lot of cases to those experiencing infidelity ~ especially the part about how DAMAGING lies and/or CONTINUED lying is!!
Its maddening to know the 'truth' behind all of the N's lies. My WTFH has lied about the most *outrageous* things, told the most *outrageous* stories, and believes that all who read/hear them actually BELIEVE him!!
Of course, confronting an N with their blatant *lies* will get you NOWHERE, and fast.. I have been met with the usual defensiveness and an occasional "fuck you" for confronting with these 'tall tales.'
They *are* so sick.
You rest up for now! Get ready for the rest of your life.
If the bastard bothers you again, can you just point your index directly at him, say "BANG! You're DEAD!" and walk away????
Happy, happy, joy, joy!! Itsa's got her house and NMF can't do a thing about it!!
DD~ great post about LIARS!
Thnx so much. Fits mine to a "T".
Oh, I got a dozen lovely roses delivered yesterday...hmmmm...because N thought I needed some 'cheering up'!
I cannot wait to initiate the Seperation NOW.
I highly recommend IC. We need it after this.
Mainly, we are GOOD.
We are KIND.
And, they are evil punks & freaks!
In fact, I ran down a list of "things" that I must *BE* (bi-polar, co-dependent, etc) with my paid-listener. She was seriously amused, and said "jonesey ~ there's nothing wrong with you. You're just *nice*."
She backed it up by saying "people that are any of *those* things (on my list) are rarely introspective enough (or at all) to actually examine their own motives and/or reactions to 'things.'
gns1......I have had a REALLY hard time accepting that I was a "victim" of this too. My paid-listener CONSTANTLY points out his abusive ways (and *how* they are abusive) and it almost makes me feel like a weakling.
I try REALLY hard not to see myself as a "victim" of this, but in reality, we ARE 'victims.' I MUCH prefer to think of it as a "survivor" though.
The N's *use* people ~ pure and simple ~ they USE them, for whatever purpose. I was never a 'person' to my WTFH! I was nothing more than a possession, a "thing", not unlike the television!!
That feeling of being 'duped' causes anger and a lot of confusion. It pisses me off that he took advantage of my compassionate nature, but that is what HE needed!!
But knowing *now* what I KNOW about him, he will again present himself as the "man in the box" to someone else, and will repeat the EXACT scenario he did here with me. But each time he picks up and moves on, he takes less integrity, character, and family WITH him.. He burns ALL bridges when he reinvents himself.
itsabattle....you're probably experiencing a *withdrawal* from all the stress hormones that have been circulating in ya for so long!! Not unlike the 'runners high' from endorphines, that they get almost addicted to!! Its *exhausting* for you physically though, so rest up and enjoy!
dreamlife....I'm glad that whatever decision you make is for YOU...who cares what he thinks! Make ALL of your decisions for YOUR best interest!!
I am also beginning to realise how much I havn't done for myself over the last decade. Before I met him I was interested in so many things and it all just melted away. I am enjoying finding out my interests again but I am also nervous and anxious about lots of things.
I think I have overlooked my feelings about surviving an npd freak. I have just coped on an almost daily basis but now faced with the actual uphill recovery I feel quite daunted. I hope all of this is normal!
Bob - I agree we were all taken advantage of because we are decent people. It is disgusting to realise our decent qualities are used against us. I don't know about you but this sometimes makes me feel worse - like I was targeted and I didn't see it. I guess I just feel used...
Baby steps...
And, I must admit that I have had screamingly good *FUN* in doing the Reverse Gaslight as well. Tee Hee!
DD~ I'm still marveling at how superb that LIARS post was, too!

New Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer gives liberal arts grads hope
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Marissa Mayer speaks during an announcement in San Francisco, California. She says verbal skills are just as important as math ability for future programmers.
Marissa Mayer, the new, 37-year-old CEO of Yahoo, is a computer scientist through and through. She graduated from Stanford and was officially Google employee number 20. Okay, so maybe she doesn't program day-to-day anymore. But she's a reliable source of insight about the craft.
Or is it an art? A liberal art? Here she is in a Daily Beast interview, talking about what makes a good programmer:
"One of the more interesting things they've found is that programming aptitude and excellence is more tied to verbal SAT scores than to math SAT scores," she explained. "Beyond basic mathematical aptitude, the difference between good programmers and great programmers is verbal ability."
Interesting. And maybe something the hardcore programmer community, with their all-night hackathons, doesn't want to hear. Could it be that Mayer is a more radical chief executive, in terms of how she thinks about preparation for the Silicon Valley life, than we've been led to think?

Take the showerhead off and see if there is anything clogging up the screen.
I replaced the old Mixette valve with a new Mixette control a few months ago. There doesn't seem to be as much water flow when full open as there used to be. Is this the valve or what? Don't really want to tear out the wall again so maybe aother new valve?
Take the showerhead off and see if there is anything clogging up the screen.

Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
Thank you Much. I forgot to say that I removed the shower head and then removed the low flow screen so there should be no restriction to the water. I am thinking that I didn't do something correctly when I replaced the valve cartridge.
Try removing the cartridge and re-installing it.
If that doesn't work, you may need to get a different type of cartridge:
Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply.
OK___ that sounds really good. I will pull the cartridge out and check the operation and re-install. Good to know that there is a replacement available.
Thank you for the response and possible solution.

Global Warming and the Posture of Skepticism
Global Warming and the Posture of Skepticism
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. There was my latest issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine – the "Magazine for Science and Reason" – and on the cover were the words:
"Let's Cool It on Global Warming–Bjorn Lomborg."
I was stunned.
I started my professional career working for Skeptical Inquirer. My last book was excerpted there, and I'm currently a contributing editor.
Typically, the magazine debunks real nonsense–pseudoscience, claims about the paranormal, quack UFO visions, that kind of thing. And I'm totally with them: Crop circles are a prank, there's no Bigfoot or Nessie, and that untested herbal remedy you're taking might well be dangerous.
And yes: The face on Mars is just an interesting rock formation.
So what on earth was Skeptical Inquirer doing publishing someone like Lomborg–who, as I have shown here at DeSmogBlog, and as others have shown elsewhere, remains scientifically inaccurate when it comes to discussing the real risks posed by global warming?
Lomborg consistently–and irresponsibly–downplays the worst case scenarios that we have to worry about if we just continue to unrepentantly pollute the atmosphere with heat-trapping gases. And sure enough, here he is doing it in Skeptical Inquirer, right at the outset of his article:
Man-made climate change is certainly a problem, but it is categorically not the end of the world. Take the rise in sea levels as one example of how the volume of screaming is unmatched by the facts. In its 2007 report, the United Nations estimates that sea levels will rise about a foot over the remainder of the century. While this is not a trivial amount, it is also important to realize that it is not unknown to mankind: since 1860 we have experienced a sea level rise of about a foot without major disruptions…We dealt with rising sea levels in the past century, and we will continue to do so in this century. It will be problematic, but it is incorrect to posit the rise as the end of civilization."
This is claimed by Lomborg and Skeptical Inquirer to be the approach supported by "facts and reason.
But in fact, it's nothing of the sort.
First of all, it's not like we can suddenly stop worrying about sea level rise after the year 2100. Furthermore, the United Nations estimate cited by Lomborg is being outrageously misused. That UN report (PDF) fully admitted that its sea level rise projections for the year 2100 do not include "rapid dynamical changes in ice flow."
Which, of course, is what everyone is really afraid of.
Here's the glaringly obvious and completely terrifying fact: If we don't do anything about global warming, if we just let it rip, we run the risk of eventually (no one knows exactly when) destabilizing the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. And if these fall in the ocean we're talking about a sea level rise of many feet, not inches, and the resultant loss of major coastal cities, like New York.
How do we know this? Well, in a part that Lomborg doesn't cite, the self-same United Nations report explains: "The last time the polar regions were significantly warmer than present for an extended period (about 125,000 years ago), reductions in polar ice volume led to 4 to 6 m of sea level rise."
That's the world we're heading back to if we don't alter course quickly. In ignoring this fact, in simply pretending that all we have to do is worry about an inch of sea level rise, Lomborg is disqualifying himself from being taken seriously.
So what on earth is Skeptical Inquirer doing publishing him?
I think several things are going on here. One is simply that Lomborg employs the rhetoric of "science and reason" even as he actually abandons both. But alas, for someone who doesn't really know anything about global warming yet prides him or herself for supporting critical thinking, Lomborg might sound convincing.
Still, Skeptical Inquirer certainly ought to know that not everyone who claims to have science on his or her side actually does. Anti-evolutionists claim the support of science. So did tobacco companies. Indeed, they helped spin off an entire "sound science/junk science" movement that is basically dedicated to calling good science bad and bad science good.
But I think something else is going on here as well, far beyond naievete. A few issues back, Skeptical Inquirer published a very respectable two-part series of articles by Stuart Jordan laying out the mainstream scientific position on global warming (see here).
This was all to the good.
But perhaps in part because the organized "skeptic" movement in the US has so many overlaps with global warming denying free-market libertarianism–for complex reasons that I can't really address here–Jordan's articles caused a Skeptical Inquirer reader uproar, leading to several further responses from the author (see for example here).
And now, suddenly, we find Skeptical Inquirer publishing Lomborg.
I really support Skeptical Inquirer. I want it to do well. But to preserve credibility, it needs to cast aside the skeptic-libertarian readers who simply refuse to accept the overwhelming reality of global warming.
In this sense, publishing Bjorn Lomborg–whose claim to the mantle of science and reason cannot possibly be sustained–was a huge step backward.

Keith, thanks for the link, it fills in some gaps in my knowledge of the MSU's.
I'm afraid that I do not know of any sites with the GISS information you are seeking. It may be worthwhile to contact the guys at RealClimate since if anybody knows they should. Another route is Tamino's blog, he has just started an Open Thread post:
There are a lot of knowledgeable people frequent that site, perhaps some one there will be able to help you.

Copied from:
Schoneveld said: "Copied from: http://wattsupwiththat" If I really told you what I think of that site I'd probably be banned from this site. You call yourself a scientist and the only sources you cite are junk-science sites.
Shame on you.
Ian Forrester
You mean to say that, in contrast, desmogblog is a real science site? Don't make me laugh! Look Ian, as long as you fail to point out what is wrong with the data, your condemnation of "whatsupwiththat" is baseless and just another ad hom.
If you can show that they invented or manipulated the data, why not post the prtper data here or on their website? Or, ask me to do it for you since I doubt you would lower yourself to visit Anthony's site.
Your hubristic "shame on you" makes me laugh; how often haven't you used that line? It's pathetic and another demonstration of your self-righteousness. Stick to the data and don't try to put people down just because they happen to disagree with you.
If it wasn't for people like me and a handful of other skeptics your site would be merely self-congratulatory and incestuous. We instigate debate and keep your site lively. Be thankful for that. And if you think I give myself too much credence why don't you just ignore me.
The numbers you give from that "site" are no place close to what GISS gives. You are just showing how incompetent you are if you believe Watts site is giving any sort of valid scientific information.
By the way DeSmMogBlog does not claim to be a "science site" they are just out to show how incompetent the AGW deniers are and how they distort the truth. Without people like you DeSmogblog would have no one to talk about about.

Nice: citation and data
Missing: Title (e.g. Acceleration in Global Average Ocean Warming) and foot or citation with brief explanations of variance (say, UAH_MSU's). Also, relation to the immediate matter at hand. ...also, though not Science Canon, bath beads or vodka or something (maybe just an explanation of what you think you just won) for Ian.
"NASA (Hansen et. al.) attempts to correct the deficiencies by applying undefined `corrections'. Not too many years ago, handling empirical data like that was known as `cooking'."
Source of this claim? Or maybe you confused climate model parameters with raw climate data?
By the way, it's "et al.", not "et. al.".
Frank Bi, http://globaldumbing.tk
"United Nations report explains: "The last time the polar regions were significantly warmer than present for an extended period (about 125,000 years ago), reductions in polar ice volume led to 4 to 6 m of sea level rise.""
What?! How is that possible? There weren't any SUVs and George Bush wasn't even born then.
Evidently, homo sapiens managed to survive somehow.
First off,
1. The major factor in the glaciation cycles was changes in the earth's orbit relative to the sun.
2. The Sun/Orbit does not play a major role in the climate change of the last 40 years though. Something which even most "skeptics" grudgingly admit.
3. What explains the current warming though quite well is 4 factors working in tandem. Although even thats a simplification.
4. No, even if your thinking about using that silly argument about Mars either.
Second off, you're forgetting this little thing called "population".
Certainly when one could literally migrate towards the poles to seek cooler weather, that was no bigee.
With a population the size we got now, and national borders, thats virtually impossible. Especially considering the climate change being experienced is nearly 10x faster than previous iceages.
By the way, "the oldest fossil evidence for anatomically modern humans is about 130,000 years old". Coincidence?
So saying that "homo sapiens managed to survive" some catastrophe 125,000 years ago is a bit of an overstatement.
Besides, the "homo sapiens managed to survive" argument is dumb anyway. Homo sapiens survived the Black Plague, homo sapiens survived Stalin, homo sapiens survived Hiroshima... so all these things are perfectly fine and acceptable?
You can see how "skeptical" the "skeptics" are about their stuff.
Frank Bi, http://globaldumbing.tk
Well, their farms, roads and skyscrapers did not survive. (Sarcasm for trolls too dumb to notice)
Rob does not understand that a few humans could survive climate change back then, but most of the 6 billion humans living now will not survive the collapse of agriculture due to the unstable weather caused by global warming.
I don't see the point of VJ's exaggeration. I don't see the point of half of the 'discussion' here. There's no support for the claim that AGW will kill most of the humans currently on the planet. There's no support for the claim that AGW will generally be good for agriculture (most predictions are for a deleterious effect).
Do some research, troll, on how many humans the earth can support without agriculture; a few hunter-gatherers... what else? Oh yes, and the oceans are becoming acidic because of all the CO2 they've been absorbing, so there probably wont be many fish available either.
Steve L., we can hope it won't get that bad, but we can't be sure it won't. (Edited to add: just my opinion, not based on specific research)
"Do some research, troll, on how many humans the earth can support without agriculture"
Oh, so can we assume that you have done this research, Professor? Please share your data sources and methodology with us.
While you're at it, please explain what compelling evidence leads you to the extraordinary notion that agriculture is about to vanish?
And the oceans shall start to boil and an angel of death will descend to stand at Gore's right hand and smite the unbelievers who will descend into hell while the annointed few will live forever in a carbon-free paradise.
Take me Lord, for I have seen the light!
"Besides, the "homo sapiens managed to survive" argument is dumb anyway. Homo sapiens survived the Black Plague, homo sapiens survived Stalin, homo sapiens survived Hiroshima..."
It stands to reason, then, if humans can survive real catastrophes, then surviving a hypothetical catastrophe should be a cinch.
"if humans can survive real catastrophes, then surviving a hypothetical catastrophe should be a cinch"
No, it means "surviving a catastrophe" is a pretty low threshold to cross, and not a very useful one.
Frank Bi, http://globaldumbing.tk
"Certainly when one could literally migrate towards the poles to seek cooler weather, that was no bigee."
Yes, a piece of cake. 125,000 years ago, primitive humans would have simply hopped in their Fred Flintstone SUVs and cruised to the North Pole -- assuming, of course, the concept of North or South Pole even existed. And, assuming, of course, anyone ever noticed any climate change within their 20-year lifespans -- since 125,000 years ago, they probably lacked the benefit of PR firms to set the panic in motion, as who's wise counsel we enjoy nowadays, right here.
"With a population the size we got now, and national borders, thats virtually impossible."
Good point. Nowadays people spend their entire lives in the same village in which they were born -- unlike those globe-trotting cavemen. Yes, if you had to name the one thing which differentiates us from our ancient ancestors, it is our complete lack of personal mobility. And, of course, who could ever imagine crossing a national border? Absurd!
"Especially considering the climate change being experienced is nearly 10x faster than previous iceages."
Indeed, it will be a race against time. If I hope to escape the horrific fate of feeling imperceptibly warmer by 1-2 degrees, I will need to flee to the Arctic. I've got almost 1000 Km to cover in only a century. I'd better start driving first thing in the morning. Pray for me.
Lomborg has taken an IPCC projection out of context and used it in a way that the authors warn against. That's pretty crappy. Why are people writing about a new Gore religion regarding ice cubes? Too chickenshit to tackle Lombborg's deliberate deception?
"Why are people writing about a new Gore religion regarding ice cubes?"
Because a new denialist talking point just came from on high. And when a new denialist talking point comes along, the thing to do is to ignore everything else and start propagating it like crazy.
That's what "skepticism" is about, isn't it...
Frank Bi, http://globaldumbing.tk
As a long time skeptic and subscriber to Skeptical Inquirer, I don't have a problem with them publishing Bjorn Lomborg.
First off, it is not unusual for magazines to publish dissenting opinions, and it is, in fact, a useful thing for them to do, if for no other reason then it prompts commentary like that you've posted here. Without occasional self-examination, skepticism becomes just another dogma.
Secondly, whatever you think of his methodology, Lomborg does make one excellent point: given limited resources for dealing with a problem, it behooves us to do what we can to get the most mileage from those resources. In some cases this may mean investing in short-term mitigation of effects, rather than long-shot attempts at changing causes which are not completely understood. If we can --maybe-- cool the planet only by regressing society to a medieval-like culture for the next 500 years, it may well be that the benefit is not worth the cost. At the very least, it's a question worth examining.

Comments about Thule Quest Rooftop Cargo Bag:
I used this for two weeklong car trips this spring and the bag has fallen apart. After the first trip it had developed several significant wear marks around the straps. By the end of the second trip (two weeks of total use) the bag had several holes, one large enough to stick your hand through.

Comments about Thule Quest Rooftop Cargo Bag:
Our "new" thule rooftop bag was missing a strap and obviously had been used and re-packaged for "new", the thule writing had bug splatter on it (obviously from the previous people who had used it and brought it back). It was the only one in stock so we had to take the dented box and since we needed it for this weekend we bought it, but after taking it out of the package, we are extremely dissatisfied with our purchase and now we cant even use it! I can't believe that sports authority didn't check things before re-stocking, UNBELIEVABLE that this is not common sense!!! Needless to say we're taking it back (hopefully to exchange for a NEW one and hopefully will be compensated for our trouble)

hi Agnishom,
That looks like a good way to start with those denominators. Then put everything in terms of sin and cos in order to simplify.

Courses@BoaltNOTE: Course offerings change. Classes offered this semester may not be offered in future semesters.
207.5 sec. 1 - Advanced Legal Writing (Spring 2012)
"Advanced Lagal Writing"
Instructor: Donna Petrine (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 2
Meeting Time: W 3:35-5:25
Meeting Location: 130
Course Start: January 11, 2012
Course Control Number (Non-1Ls): 49493
Advanced Legal Writing is designed to further develop the legal writing and analytical skills students need to practice law successfully.
The precise format and topic of the course will vary from semester to semester. My aim is to provide students the opportunity to work on a challenging, real life legal problem that tests their ability to make sense of the law, and to convey that understanding in writing, with the chance to get instructor feedback on their individual work. In 2010, we wrote a 35-page summary judgment brief, and were able to spend time reviewing -- anonymously -- a variety of student work to compare approaches. In 2011, we will work on a different project, which will be determined over the summer -- but I hope to generate a similar assignment (a 30+) page paper that allows for seminar grading and writing requirement credit. Obviously, a final decision on the availability of the seminar curve and writing requirement cannot be announced until the first class.
Registration Note: There are two small sections of this course, and I find the enrollment process is unreliable due to the limited number of spaces available and the heavy amount of shopping that goes on in the first few weeks of school. For that reason, whether or not you are wait-listed for the course, please attend the first session or, at least email me to confirm your continued interest. If you really want to take this class -- if it is a priority for you -- chances are good that you will get in once the dust settles. If you do not attend the first and second session of the course you may not enroll in it without special permission, even if there are open slots -- you will have missed too much material.
Note: There is no oral advocacy component to this course -- students interested in oral argument should consider taking Appellate Advocacy instead.
The syllabus will be posted ASAP; the first class will not require preparation -- it will be self-contained (any reading, exercises, etc, will be done in class).
Successful completion of Law 202.1A 1L Legal Writing is a prerequisite. For LLMs: Only native English speakers who have successfully taken an introductory LRW course at a US law school should enroll.
This course may satisfy the Writing Requirement.
Exam Notes: P
Course Category: Advocacy Skills Courses
This course is cross-listed in the following categories:
Litigation and Procedure
If you are the instructor or their FSU, you may add a file like a syllabus or a first assignment to this page.
No reader.
Instructor has indicated that no books will be assigned.

Hello, my name is Yang You and I am a program manager for USB Diagnostics. One of the questions we often receive is: How do I use USB for kernel debugging for testing drivers and diagnosing system crashes.
There are several ways to debug Windows. You can use a COM/Serial port, a 1394/Firewire cable, or USB 2.0 debugging cable/port. Although, setting up USB debugging can take a bit more investment and time, USB might be the only externally exposed port that is capable of debugging on certain laptops and netbooks. There are some MSDN topics about: Setting Up a USB 2.0 Debug Cable Connection and Attaching to a Target Computer (Kernel Mode). The goal of this article is to provide step-by-step instructions about how to set up kernel debugging to use USB 2.0.

Funny now rusty spent three months calling everyone dumb that didn't think we were going to get a first rounder from Lombardi. Lol! I proposed a bet with that moron two months ago that it wouldn't happen (he turned it down). Michael Holley said this week the same thing I've been telling him for three months...a GM would get fired for giving up a high pick for a guy that hasn't played a meaningful snap in the NFL in two years.
You mean Rusty was wrong about something? Geez, what's new. Don't worry, he will try to spin it, be prepared!! LOL! He thinks he knows it all, just another example that he doesn't know S#@t!
Told him for three months that Lombardi would of been fired if he made that trade - it wasn't about the quarterback class being weak, or Mallett not having as much or more potential than guys in this draft, it was about how you can't trade a high selection for a third round selection that has never played. That's it...he never got that.

I was one who thought bb would make the trade during the draft. The way the draft played out, I am glad he didn't make the trade.
i don't think the mallett story is over yet. The draft is, but there is still some potential wheeling and dealing that should get done.
Lomabrdi for one could go into camp, get a fresh and long,look at his qb's and say, these guys stink. He could then decide to bring in another QB like mallett and give up something in return....a high draft pick, a player or two...point is, there is still a ton of time if someone is interested and bb is shopping him...

Maybe Lombardi is waiting for the right QB to become available before he takes one? Spending lots of capital to get a mediocre QB is a disaster . . . just look at the Jets. I'm not sold on Mallet and maybe Lombardi isn't either. If that's the case, why not stick with one of the mediocre guys he already has rather than wasting resources to get a second mediocre QB? Only the Jets are doltish enough to waste picks and money on six mediocre QBs. The Jets would have been smarter to build talent elsewhere and just stick with a caretaker QB until a truly good one came along.

Not sure either, not with 2 years left on his contract - noone in this years draft would have been any better, and no veteran QBs that already know the system that we'd want.
Maybe see what happens next year. Othewise, continue to get him ready for this year.
I thought BB was a stubborn idiot for taking Harmon over Landry Jones/Matt Barkley/Ryan Nassib. All 3 QBs pass the 27-60 test (at least 27 career starts and at least a career 60% comp%). Considering BBs past track record of QBs: Rohan Davey, Kevin O'Donnell, and Zac Robinson, it's a head scratcher as to why he would reach for Harmon in the 3rd round when he could have had him or a similar type of player after the draft. Interesting that the Eagles traded up to get Barkley, the Giants traded up to get Nassib, and the Steelers pick Jones in the 4th round. With the exception of the Eagles (who's new coach saw Barkley play against his Oregon teams in the Pac 10/12), the teams that took these QBs have won 2 more SBs than the Pats in the span of 9 years.
That said, execpt the choice of Harmon, I liked the Pats draft overall. Including their 7th rounders and the trade for LaGarrette Blount.

Agree. It doesn't add up.
Manuel Rd 1

The only QBs taken in the right spots where Barkey and Nassib. I don't get the logic that because BAD organizations looking to make a splash and get fans giddy to sell tickets, somehow means Ryan Mallet is a worse prospect than EJ Manuel who can't read vanilla, NCAA defenses.
Basically, morons like Hurl and Anononymis think EJ Manuel and Geno Smith are better prospects than Mallett.
Smith was a great value in the 2nd round. Manuel is mobile. Both pass the 27-60 test. All QBs that were 1st round busts failed this criteria.

Debating whether or not Mallett is a good prospect is a waste of time. The facts are:
He's yet to show anything in real games.
He could be gone after the season.
Mallett most likely won't be on the team in 2015.

Buffalo was out of their minds taking Manual where they did. The rap on Manual is that scouts have said he has serious accuracy concerns. If Buffalo was that hard up then you take Geno Smith and hope it works out.
Buffalo did manage to pizz Philly off as they told Manual they would take him in the second.

Nice try. What was Sanchez's QBR in the Buttfumble game. 94.
See, when people like ylou try to get sneaky, you get caught. Mallett clearly is superiror to E Manuel, Smith, Barkley and Nassib. Or, Glennon for that matter.
Did you expect Russell Wilson to be as good as he was last year? None of them have played a single game so no one is clearly superior.

Wrong, wrong, wrong again – genius. Your MO is so consistent. When you're wrong about something you absolutely misquote or outright LIE about someone else's opinion. In this case, you're simply a LIAR.
Show me where I wrote in this thread or any other thread that I stated that Manuel and Smith was better than Mallett. Let me save you some time, genius. I never made such a statement.
Your justification for Mallett warranting a 2nd round draft choice was based on your opinion that Mallett is better than Manuel and Smith and the position in which those players were drafted.
My justification that Mallett is no higher than a 3rd round pick (for this year's draft) is because Mallett has NO BODY OF PROFESSIONAL WORK FOR ANYONE TO JUDGE HIM and BB/Patriots were only able to get a 2nd round draft pick for Cassell (who delivered an 11-5 professional record and either his contract was up or he was in his last year of his contract).
BB was toying with teams thru the media as a PR/strategic ploy for distraction. You were too stupid to see it.

Same here, never said Mallett wasn't better than this prospect or that one...just said no one in their right mind would give a high pick for a guy that has never played and was drafted in the third round. Whoever does something like that would be the laughing stock of the NFL. Michael Holley said last week that any GM that did such a thing would eventually be fired - I've been saying the same thing for three months.

They entered the game leading the Big 12 from the line, shooting more than 79 percent. Against Portland, they made 10-of-13 free throws. Two players were perfect from the line (Phil Forte 3-3 and Kamari Murphy 2-2). So, what's been the secret to Cowboys' early season success from the line?
"The coach teaching them how to shoot," head coach Travis Ford laughed. "No, that's not the case."
Of course, it's much more than that. The statistics from Sunday might be a bit skewed – OSU attempted only 13 foul shots – because they had so many open lanes to the basket against a spread-out Vikings defense. Junior forward Markel Brown scored a game-high 23 points, without attempting a free throw.
But he said the extra emphasis on free throw shooting in practice has helped.
"I think everyone is locked in," Brown said. "And after practice, we work on free throws a lot. After every practice, coach splits us up and we shoot free throws. I think it's helped a lot because we've got guys that can score the ball a lot and get to the rim, and get fouled. So we have to make those."
This season, we've already seen the intangibles that have led to early success. Said Ford, "Chemistry has been good, guys have just figured it out." Brown said they use the term "brotherhood." Free throw shooting isn't often lumped in with that category of chemistry, but it fits with a sometimes uncoachable identity of a team.
There are plenty of NBA players who have practiced free throw shooting their entire lives who still struggle at the charity stripe.
"You have good free throw shooting teams and you have bad free throw shooting teams – we have some guys who can make free throws," Ford said. "I've had other teams that didn't shoot very well at all from the free throw line. Maybe it's because your center is shooting the ball all the time.
"There's no secret recipe to being a great free throw shooting team. We practice them, we put them in situations – we do all that like everybody does. But we've got guys shooting free throws that can make them. That's true of any team."
With their abilities to make free throw shots, the game plan moving forward is to attempt as many as possible.
"One thing we didn't do today is that we didn't get to the free throw line near enough," Ford said. "We want to get to the free throw line. One of our keys in Puerto Rico was we got to the free throw line 20 or more times a game. We were making 80 percent of them. The more times we can get to the free throw line, the better off we are."
The Cowboys (5-0) return to action Saturday, when they travel to face Virginia Tech (5-0) at 3 p.m.

I was so happy to hear Pope Francis' words. It was the first common sense I have heard from the Church in a long time. he speaks closer to how I imagine Jesus would. God does not make mistakes. He made gay people, it was not a lifestyle choice. Jesus also taught us not to judge. That seems to be lost on our leaders. The Church should be a loving and welcoming place where we help the less fortunate. I hope this is a change for the better. Especially in their attitude towards women. I am tired of men making decisions for me and my sisters.

CAA Swimming and Diving Honors – Nov. 13
RICHMOND, Va. (Nov. 13, 2012) - William & Mary's Andrew Strait has been named the CAA Men's Swimmer of the Week while the Tribe's Megan Howard and Towson's Kaitlin Burke were named the Women's Co-Swimmers of the Week. Delaware's Luke Winkler and Kristen Congdon were named the men's and women's Divers of the Week.
Strait continued his dominant season this past weekend, capturing two individual events and helping win the 400 medley relay against East Carolina. Strait set pool records while winning the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:53.16 and swimming the breaststroke leg in the 400 medley relay (3:26.61). He also swam 55.95 in the 100 breast, the second-fastest time in school history behind his own record from earlier this season.
Howard collected two individual victories in the Tribe's dual meet against East Carolina last Saturday. She won the 50 free in 24.15 and also came back in the 200 free relay to record the same time on her lead leg, carrying the Tribe to victory. The relay time of 1:35.64 was just off of the pool record. Howard also finished second in the 100 fly (57.19) and second as part of the Tribe's 400 medley relay (3:54.95).
Burke tallied four victories last weekend in the Tigers' 211-82 dual win over George Washington. She won the 200-yard butterfly in 2:06.91 while adding a victory in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 24.08. Burke also swam a leg in the 400-yard freestyle relay which posted a winning time of 3:33.77 and was a member of the 200-free relay team that finished first with a time of 1:46.16.
Winkler collected a victory in the three-meter dive as the Blue Hens finished 2-0 last weekend with wins over La Salle (195-104.5) and Rider (190.5-109.5). He earned top honors in the three-meter dive with a total of 280.10 points while collecting 245.70 points in the one-meter dive.
Congdon collected two victories as the Blue Hens knocked off Rider (199-101) and La Salle (229-70) last weekend. She tallied 258.85 points to win the one-meter meter dive, and 271.55 points to pick up the win in the three-meter dive.

Turns out that Lillie McCloud, the 54-year-old grandmother from Orlando who wowed "The X Factor," has a recording career under another name.
She had success as Nicole McCloud, whose hits include "Don't You Want My Love" in 1986 and "Runnin' Away" in 1994, according to the website mjsbigblog.
The judges on "The X Factor" compared McCloud to Whitney Houston and Gladys Knight. For the record, McCloud has performed with Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen.
Of course, it's not unusual for singing-show contestants to have had careers. But the issue is how "The X Factor" presented McCloud as a grandmother who was new to the scene. Judge Kelly Rowland even asked where McCloud had been hiding.
In an interview Wednesday, McCloud told me she has lived in Florida since 1986 and in Orlando for a couple of years. McCloud has three children and seven grandchildren.
But mjsbigblog reports that McCloud has been living in Slovakia and recorded the title song for the Slovakian version of "Britain's Got Talent," which is a show from "X Factor" judge Simon Cowell.
I heard from a reader who complained that McCloud is "a plant by Simon Cowell" and that Cowell is "trying to fix the show."
I've asked Fox for a comment.
But the presentation of McCloud as a nobody was misleading, at the very least.Will it matter to viewers? Should it matter to viewers? Will this revelation affect her progress on the show?
I wanted more information to the question: Where have you been hiding?
"I have been trying not to hide," McCloud told me Wednesday. "I've been working in Miami nightclubs, on South Beach for several years. I've been recording. I couldn't get beyond dance artist. I had some recordings as a dance artist. I never had this opportunity to branch out."
She said getting acclaim at 54 was unusual. "Does this happen to a 54-year-old? This is not normal," she said. "It's not every day that something like this happens to someone like me. A couple of weeks ago I was home cooking with a baby in one hand and a baby in the other. This time I'm ready for it."
She recalled that Cowell saw her arrival as "divine timing. I do believe it's timing. If I had gotten it before, I wouldn't have known how to handle to success."McCloud told me she wants to perform gospel music because "that's my heart."
Her take on Cowell?
"I love Simon because he's very outspoken," she said. "He's going to tell you what he thinks. I don't agree with everything he says, but I have a deep appreciation for his honesty."
Ah, honesty. We could use some about this "X Factor" contestant.
The next episode of "The X Factor" airs at 8 p.m. Thursday on Fox.

Cost-cutting IT organizations may end up delaying their Microsoft Office upgrades, but they don't appear to be switching to alternative productivity suites, according to a Forrester Research survey.
The poor economy may cause some IT organizations to delay upgrading to the current Microsoft Office 2007 product, and wait for Office 2010 instead, according to Forrester. If they wait, Office 2010 is expected to be released in the first half of next year.
A little over a third of respondents in Forrester's survey said that the economy had affected their plans on productivity-suite deployments. Forrester polled 152 IT professionals in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe for the survey, which was conducted in March.
Respondents mostly (80 percent) used Microsoft Office 2003 or earlier versions, as well as Microsoft Office 2007 (57 percent). They also used other productivity suites, such as Google Premier Apps, Sun's StarOffice 8 or 9 and IBM's Lotus Symphony. However, the use of those alternative apps was at single digits.
Respondents indicated why they weren't planning for a Microsoft Office upgrade. The No. 1 reason was lack of compelling business reasons to make the change. Cost appeared to be a negligible reason, according to the survey results.
The survey's respondents, for the most part, weren't considering alternatives to Microsoft Office. Nearly 80 percent reported no plans to implement an alternative productivity suite.
Forrester concluded from the survey findings that alternatives to Microsoft Office currently aren't meeting business requirements. Moreover, Microsoft Office will still be a contender by the time those alternative productivity suites mature.
The survey comes from a report called "Enterprise Plans for Productivity Tools: Holding Out for Microsoft Office 2010" by Sheri McLeish, which is available as part of a subscription service from Forrester Research.

We are getting new laptops at work and I can tell who got one by the cries of anguish - the random user interface changes in Office 2007 are still annoying after two years. If you used to use Powerpoint 2003, spend an hour with 2007- nothing works the way it used to.
We moved to Office 2007 sometime ago and love it.We didn't have to configure commands as you suggested was needed.

Now, if that pork were a beef brisket, I'd be all over it! Looks like it's cooked perfectly, too.
Charcoal-Grilled Pulled Pork with Cider Vinegar Barbeque Sauce
Inspiration: B recently bought a charcoal Weber grill, and he's been grilling up a storm ever since. We've had a gas grill for several years that we love, but new toys are always fun. So when we had an entire Sunday at home, B wanted to spend all day slow cooking something on the charcoal grill for supper, and I wasn't going to complain. He's awesome :)
What we Loved: I'm going to preface this by saying that this meal was the best meal that I've had in recent memory, and overall one of the best meals that I've ever had in my life. Are there many things that sound better than a pork shoulder that has been slow roasted for eight hours over mesquite lump charcoal and Jack Daniels wood chips? I didn't think so :) The meat was crispy and blackened with delicious, smoky bourbon/mesquite flavor on the outside, and it was so rich and juicy on the inside. I can't even describe how wonderful the slow cooked, smoky flavor was. Way to go, B! You really don't need any sauce or accompaniments at all with such a delicious cut of meat. That being said, we went ahead and combined it with just a touch here and there of apple cider vinegar barbeque sauce (a crazy flavorful sauce that is perfectly rich, sweet, sour, and savory), green beans slow cooked with bacon and onions, and some classic deviled eggs. I truthfully can't recall many meals that we've made that have been better. The entire meal is a ridiculous amount of work and took up the entire day (thank you, B!) – but it's way, way worth it.
Helpful Hints: B says to be patient with this recipe. It will take between 6-8 hours of grilling after all of the prep time, and this will vary depending on your grill, the size of your roast, and any other factors that come into play. Make sure to avoid opening the grill any more than you have to. Every time that you do, it might add 15-30 minutes onto your griling time because of the loss of heat. It's best to place the grill thermometer in a place where you can see it through the vents, so that you only need to open the grill to replace coals or wood chips when it gets too cool.
Regarding the barbeque sauce, beware that the below recipe makes a ton of sauce. It's ridiculously delicious, but we only used small amounts because it's really rich and we didn't want to cover up the flavor of the pork too much. That being said, the sauce is way too good to skip! As a solution, we basically drizzled a bit of it over the tender, inside pieces of meat on our plates, and we saved the blackened chunks of meat for eating all on their own – as they truly deserve to be eaten :)
Charcoal-Grilled Pulled Pork
Source: Original recipe
1 3-4 lb boneless pork shoulder
Smoked paprika
Garlic powder
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1. Coat the pork shoulder completely in a generous amount of smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Place a good amount of wood chips in a bowl of water (three-four handfuls). Let soak for 30 minutes.
3. To grill the meat, you are going to use indirect grilling. To prepare the grill, light your charcoal with lighter fluid or use a chimney to heat the charcoal. When the charcoal is hot, move it to either side of the grill (using charcoal holders if desired to hold the charcoal). Wrap two handfuls of the wood chips loosely in two foil packets, poking several holes in the foil. Place the wood chip packets directly on top of the charcoal on either side of the grill. Place a drip pan between the charcoal/wood chips that are on either side of the grill. Place an oven thermometer on the grate or somewhere inside the grill away from the direct coal heat so that you can keep a constant eye on the temperature inside the grill. Place the thermometer in such a manner so that you can see it from the outside of the grill through the vents.
4. Stabilize the temperature in the grill to be between 225 and 250 degrees F by controlling the air flow through the top vents and bottom vents of your grill. When the temperature is in this range, place a cupful or so of water into the drip pan. Place the pork on the grate in the middle of the grill over the drip pan, sticking a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the roast. This way, you are using indirect heat to cook the meat.
5. Keep the temperature inside the grill in the 225-250 degrees F range until the inside of the thickest part of the meat reaches 190-195 F (6-8 hours). Baste if desired every hour or so while cooking, and refill the coals and wood chips as necessary in order to keep the grill hot.
6. Remove the pork from the grill, wrap it in foil, and let it sit for 30 minutes before shredding with two forks.
Cider Vinegar Barbeque Sauce
Source: Tyler Florence
We cut this recipe in half and cut down on the cayenne. Here's the recipe as we made it.
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown mustard
1/4 cup ketchup
1/6 cup packed brown sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1. Add all ingredients to a sauce pan. Heat over medium low heat until the sugar dissolves and everything is well combined.

I'd wait six to eight ours for that dish any day! It is GORGEOUS!
This looks absolutely wonderful. We do something similar but in the oven. It's called Forever Roasted Pork from Tra Vigne Restaurant in Yountville, CA. The recipe is all over the internet. 6-8 hours in a slow oven – perfection.
Looking forward to trying your in our Weber grill. Thanks
Doesn't the pork kinda cancel out the Kosher Salt?!
Looks delicious. Down south we call those burnt parts the browns. Best part if you ask me.
I just became a big fan of pulled pork about a year ago. Now I love collecting pulled pork recipes. Thanks for posting this! I made Crockpot Old South Pulled Pork on a Bun recently and it was delicious! Keep up the great work here!
How delicious! If I had this, I think it would be on the top of my list for best meal in recent memory.

Comments about 2 in 1 LED Flashlight:
These flashlights are small, but powerful. During a power failure, they can light your way and then be set down to illuminate an area as a lantern would. Their compact size makes for easy storage in every room.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

unable to use
By catalog shopper
from houston
I was able to add the batteries but not able to turn it on. I tried with both units. After speaking to customer care, she decided it was defective. It could also require a stronger grip than I have. I am being shipped another.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
