Meanwhile, evidence grows that recent global warming is unprecedented in magnitude and speed and cause
An influential 2006 congressional report that raised questions about the validity of global warming research was partly based on material copied from textbooks, Wikipedia and the writings of one of the scientists criticized in the report, plagiarism experts say.Review of the 91-page report by three experts contacted by USA TODAY found repeated instances of passages lifted word for word and what appear to be thinly disguised paraphrases.
The evidence has become overwhelming that recent global warming is unprecedented in magnitude and speed and cause (see "Two more independent studies back the Hockey Stick and below). Indeed, as WAG notes, within a few decades, nobody is going to be talking about hockey sticks, they will be talking about right angles or hockey skates (see chart above).
The disinformers (and the confusionists who Curry favor with them), however, are not merely oblivious to the multiple, independent lines of scientific investigation that lead to that conclusion. They have for over a decade tried to discredit one small piece of that underlying analysis, the Hockey Stick graph developed by Michael Mann, Raymond S. Bradley & Malcolm K. Hughes — continuing their obsession even after that analysis was largely reaffirmed by a 2006 report from the National Academy of Sciences, the "Supreme Court of science."
A cornerstone of the disinformer's ultimately self-destructive attack on climate science is a 2006 report, commissioned by Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) and Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), and led by George Mason University statistician Edward Wegman, who is now himself under investigation by GMU. You can find all the details you could want about the shoddy analysis of the report at Deep Climate — including his "methodical demolishing of any hint of statistics" in the report, as John Mashey puts it in the comments.
Here's more from the stunning USA Today piece:

I feel like I have found a ola abandoned house; except it is a forum site!
I post and it echos upon ghostly eyes and ears of those who come in and stay in the shadowy recesses where the only thing about them is they have come in visitation to look upon the writings on the wall, but find no voice to respond with.
So if I must continue to come to this haunted forum I may as well realize that those who look upon it do not have anything in common with what I write, or find it not of interest.
SO..." In the name of all the powers that be! I evoke in the name of Set that you remain in the Abyss of Abydos ! In the darkness of that of which I speak - you can remain safe and I can continue to conjor up the summons of all that is and all that I believe!" Hahahahahahaha!!!!
I will continue to upport this site with or without you!
It is a place that can be of greatness!
While I am not all knowing and all seeing -- those who fail to see me as wise - I challenge you to show me wrong!
I stand before you with the resources of both left and righthand path. I can be devils advocate and also a angel.
I champion reality and the powers that it contains. The virtues and the course of action that testifies to the greatness of mind, body, and soul!
BLESSED BE! In the resouces of that is the will and nature of man who forges in life a greatness like no other!

Nasty campaign ads an American tradition
(CBS News) WASHINGTON - With all the nastiness we've seen lately, it's easy to wonder, are we headed toward one of the dirtiest campaigns ever?
Well, here's the dirty little secret; the short answer is no. As author Lara Brown pointed out in US News and World Report last week, America has a long history of ugly presidential campaigns.
They haven't gotten worse; they're just following a tradition as old as the republic.
Thomas Jefferson's campaign against President John Adams was probably the first really nasty one. Jefferson's supporters accused Adams of being a hermaphrodite with "neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." In response, the Adams campaign accused Jefferson of being the son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a mulatto father.
In the 1828 campaign, John Quincy Adams' supporters called Andrew Jackson a murderer, his mother a prostitute, and his wife an adulteress.
In 1876, Democrats accused Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes of two heinous crimes: shooting his own mother, and stealing the pay of dead soldiers while he was a Union general.
And as Brown points out, the role of the media in all this has not been exactly stellar.
In 1896, The New York Times was supporting Republican William McKinley and ran an article about his opponent William Jennings Bryan titled, "Is Bryan Crazy?" It cited one anonymous source whose identity, the newspaper said, it was not at liberty to give.
On and on, it has gone down through the years: Clinton and McCain accused of fathering illegitimate children, the stuff about Obama's birth certificate and Romney being blamed for the death of a cancer victim.
So it's nothing new, that's for sure. But as my mother used to say, just because something has always been that way, doesn't mean it's right.

Everyone has potential to grow, even the youtube editor making Naruto videos with Linkin Park. They deserve at least a chance at to prove themselves.
They do however keep sabotaging themselves via self promotion, attempting to post their videos in general amv without even LISTING their video in the catalog, and not even reading the basic rules.
Instead of trying to make the org more like youtube, the goal should be to try to educate those who will listen so they have a better chance an improving their abilities. The easy way out isn't always the best thing in the world. If people would actually look at the tools they've got before complaining that they don't have them, things would go a lot smoother.
Website updates are coming. They take time but I can 110% verify that it's being worked on. I've seen some of the new mockups and they look killer. We will change and grow, but we won't become youtube. We'll become something better.

I never claimed it was novel. :) I think the difference between now and then is that at that time the discussion centered around having to make a hard choice between PI or provider-aggregates. The insurmountable problem was that exchanges had to come into existence immediately, or PI would sink the routing system. I believe that we are at a point were the host and routing implementations can realistically support both approaches simultaneously, and there are enough existing exchanges to bootstrap the process. Taking all of the multi-homed site problems out of PA space will allow meeting the IPv6 routing goal of reducing the table by 10x or more, as long as we can agree on a scaleable PI approach for those problems. It would be nice if someone with access to current topology and routing information would provide feedback about the real impact of each proposal from the perspective of each continent. I still contend from a theoretical perspective that if you write-off NA/Europe as hopelessly intertwined for the moment, my approach reduces the tables in the other 75% of the world to a handful of entries. I also believe that over time with a scaleable PI mechanism, even the NA/Europe problem will be cut in half. Tony

Egypt Revealed: Military Rulers "Planned with Judge to Preserve Their Power" (Kirkpatrick)
Background on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces
Even as they promised to hand authority to elected leaders, Egypt's ruling generals were planning with one of the nation's top judges to preserve their political power and block the rise of the Islamists, the judge said.
Tahani el-Gebali, deputy president of the Supreme Constitutional Court, said she advised the generals not to cede authority to civilians until a Constitution was written. The Supreme Court then issued a decision that allowed the military to dissolve the first fairly elected Parliament in Egypt's history and assure that the generals could oversee drafting of a Constitution.

Blogroll revamp.
Well, I decided to revamp my blogroll a bit.
"Actually Met" is the category for people who I actually have met in the flesh.
"Electronic Friends" is for frequent commenters or people who I feel like I know even though I have not met them in the flesh.
"Might Meet" is a group of people who are local to my area and circulate in some of the social or blog circles that I visit.
"Hangouts" are community type blogs that I comment on occasionally.
"Smart guys" are gurus of one nature or another. Some of them I just link to because they are interesting to watch. Others I have been accused of having a "man crush" on.
"Blogs" are for blogs I enjoy reading, that don't fit into the other categories.
"New/Untested" is where I put blogs when I first subscribe.
I have always managed this through my bloglines account. I made the rest of my bloglines account private, So it no longer appears on my blogroll. If you want back in, comment!

Staying Classy
Most times a well timed movie quote can be useful. They can break the ice, relax the nerves or even help you fit in with a new posse (do people still say posse or is it crew now?). So here is a list of my top 10 favorite movie quotes that I use to get a laugh (or to find out which people around me are awesome).
10. "You stay classy San Diego" – Anchorman
I'll usually say this after hearing a horribly tasteless joke, to let them know that they are NOT being classy.
9. "Samsonite! I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though" – Dumb and Dumber
This one is useful when trying to remember a name, after someone remembers it and discovers I wasn't even close to recalling it.
8. " Hey, there's even a fridge! You could put a six pack of be… soda in here…" – Tommy Boy
Pretty much every time I see a mini-fridge…
7. "Gee, mister. You're even hungrier than I am." -Goonies
I say this any time I witness someone eating a candy bar (especially when its a Baby Ruth).
6. "I understand you're a man who knows how to get things." – the Shawshank Redemption
Whenever I need someone's help finding something I say this, but they never respond correctly.
5. "You pooped in the refrigerator!? And you ate the entire…wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad! That's amazing." – Anchorman
I don't need a reason to use this one, but if someone mumbles at me, they'll probably hear it.
4. "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark… and we're wearing sunglasses." – the Blues Brothers
I use this when about to start a road trip, project or meeting hoping that someone will say "Hit it" afterwards.
3. "You wanna talk some jive? I'll talk some jive. I'll talk some jive like you've never heard!" – the Royal Tenenbaums
Typically this is my "I'm warning you" joke before I get really goofy.
2. "PC Load letter?! The **** does that mean?" – Office Space
Every time I have a computer issue that doesn't make any sense.
1. " On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." – Fight Club
I don't really say this to people, but it always inspires me.

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was "offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about?
Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the first trillion dollar deficit ever, under any President of the United States — followed by trillion dollar deficits in every year of the Obama administration.
Remember his pledge to have a "transparent" government that would post its legislative proposals on the Internet several days before Congress was to vote on them, so that everybody would know what was happening? This was followed by an ObamaCare bill so huge and passed so fast that even members of Congress did not have time to read it.
Remember his claims that previous administrations had arrogantly interfered in the internal affairs of other nations — and then his demands that Israel stop building settlements and give away land outside its 1967 borders, as a precondition to peace talks with the Palestinians, on whom there were no preconditions?
As for what happened in Libya, the Obama administration says that there is an "investigation" under way. An "on-going investigation" sounds so much better than "stonewalling" to get past election day. But you can bet the rent money that this "investigation" will not be completed before election day. And whatever the investigation says after the election will be irrelevant.
The events unfolding in Benghazi on the tragic night of September 11th were being relayed to the State Department as the attacks were going on, "in real time," as they say. So the idea that the Obama administration now has to carry out a time-consuming "investigation" to find out what those events were, when the information was immediately available at the time, is a little much.
The full story of what happened in Libya, down to the last detail, may never be known. But, as someone once said, you don't need to eat a whole egg to know that it is rotten. And you don't need to know every detail of the events before, during and after the attacks to know that the story put out by the Obama administration was a fraud.
The administration's initial story that what happened in Benghazi began as a protest against an anti-Islamic video in America was a very convenient theory. The most obvious alternative explanation would have been devastating to Barack Obama's much heralded attempts to mollify and pacify Islamic nations in the Middle East.
To have helped overthrow pro-Western governments in Egypt and Libya, only to bring anti-Western Islamic extremists to power would have been revealed as a foreign policy disaster of the first magnitude. To have been celebrating President Obama's supposedly heroic role in the killing of Osama bin Laden, with the implication that Al Qaeda was crippled, would have been revealed as a farce.
Osama bin Laden was by no means the first man to plan a surprise attack on America and later be killed. Japan's Admiral Yamamoto planned the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into World War II, and he was later tracked down and shot down in a plane that was carrying him.
Nobody tried to depict President Franklin D. Roosevelt as some kind of hero for having simply authorized the killing of Yamamoto. In that case, the only hero who was publicized was the man who shot down the plane that Yamamoto was in.
Yet the killing of Osama bin Laden has been depicted as some kind of act of courage by President Obama. After bin Laden was located, why would any President not give the go-ahead to get him?
That took no courage at all. It would have been far more dangerous politically for Obama not to have given the go-ahead. Moreover, Obama hedged his bets by authorizing the admiral in charge of the operation to proceed only under various conditions.
This meant that success would be credited to Obama and failure could be blamed on the admiral — who would join George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton and other scapegoats for Obama's failures.

A hard rain is gonna fall...
By Kathryn Jean Lopez/Syndicated columnist
After disappearing during his term in office and bringing scandal to his family and state, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is going to Washington, having won election to Congress. And that's far from the worst story reflecting the current character of our nation.
Not your mother's Ladies' Home Journal
By Rheta Grimsely Johnson/Syndicated columnist
I haven't seen the Ladies' Home Journal in about a million years, except maybe in the dentist's office when I was trying to avoid a television permanently set on Fox News.
Somebody's grandchild was selling magazines for a school project, and Ladies' Home Journal was the only one on the list I recognized. Now it comes to the house.
Let's just say: It's not my mother's Ladies' Home Journal. This month, right behind a feature called "A Country of People Who Never Stop Eating" is one called "Nice Girls Do Get Tattoos." -
Health care market needs oversight
By Gene Lyons/Syndicated columnist
Sometimes the best journalism explains what's right under our noses. In Steven Brill's exhaustive Time magazine cover article, "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us," it's the staggeringly expensive, grotesquely inefficient and inhumane way Americans pay for medical care.
VA's appalling failures not recent
By Sid Salter/Syndicated columnist
While recent national press attention to ongoing problems at Mississippi's G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery Veterans Administration Medical Center in Jackson is welcome and needed, the failures of the overall VA service apparatus in Mississippi are not recent problems.
In short, former U.S. Rep. Sonny Montgomery — Mississippi's "Mr. Veteran" and author of the modern G.I. Bill that bears his name — must be spinning in his grave. There have been significant failures and poor service to veterans documented by state and local media since 2008. -
Dolley Madison politically savvy
By Cokie and Steven V. Roberts/Syndicated columnists
When Dolley Payne Madison became first lady in 1809, she instituted Wednesday evening gatherings at the White House where political rivals could meet and talk. They were called "squeezes" because so many people showed up and crowded the room. As Cokie wrote in her book "Ladies of Liberty": "All were welcome as long as they were appropriately dressed. And all went — skipping a Wednesday night might mean missing a vital piece of political information or being left out of a crucial deal."
Mississippi isn't immune from national college tuition trends
By Sid Salter/Syndicated columnist
Higher education in Mississippi has not been immune from national trends cited in a recent Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report which concludes that over the last five years, the global economic downturn and a "no new taxes" political climate have increasingly shifted the burden of higher education finance to students and parents at a time when enrollment is increasing and the percentage of state support is decreasing. -
Right to vote not 'racial entitlement
By Donna Brazile/Syndicated columnist
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Shelby County v. Holder — a challenge to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, specifically Section 5, which requires states and localities with a history of voting discrimination against racial and language minorities to get "pre-approved" by the federal government before changing how elections are conducted or voters are registered. -
1st day of spring brings memories
By Wyatt Emmerich/Southside Sun
The first day of spring! My favorite month, April, is just around the corner. Now we just need one big gullywasher to get rid of the pine pollen.
Normally, spring gives me a strong sense of rebirth and renewal, but this spring I seem surrounded by moments crystallizing the passage of time.
It was a year ago, I walked up the porch to my mother's home to box up her possessions following her funeral. -
Soaking up in tiger paw-shaped hot tub
By Rheta Grimsely Johnson/Syndicated columnist
No springtime ritual was better at Auburn than sitting on hard rocks at a nearby state park to let cold water rush over your feet. You wore cut-off blue jeans and Dr. Scholl's sandals, the unofficial uniform for coeds in the 1970s, and when you left, you felt ready to tackle tests, term papers and blind dates.
Medicaid or not, costs will be paid
By Sid Salter/Syndicated columnist
While the battle continues between state Republicans and other fiscal conservatives intent on focusing on the long-terms costs of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act and Democrats, health care advocates and state hospitals intent on focusing on the short-term benefits, the fact remains that one way or another, the costs of providing health care for the poor, the blind, the aged and the disabled will be paid by the taxpayers one way or another.

DORMAN KIT # 14041 Has the necessary piece I needed. I Used the 2nd to smallest size that comes in the 5 piece kit ( The Yellower looking one in the picture above ). It takes a lot of force to snap together. A Lot!!! I placed the piece from kit on the metal nipple on the shifter arm link and pushed really really hard with a wooden stick then placed shift cable linkage over piece from kit and again pushed with the stick super hard force. Works great now lol

Good to get the linkage back as one moveable piece but these are not exact replications of the factory parts. I had to shave one down with a razor blade to get it to pop into the throttle linkage on my Ford Tempo.

Excellent Service. We bought a stove and dishwasher from Steve's. The prices were more than competitive with big box stores. The appliances were delivered on time, the old ones taken away. delivery men were prompt and helpful. Our dishwasher needed service and Steve's fixed the problem immediately. I would return to Steve's again and again. C. Griswold, Litchfield

April 15, 1889 - A. Philip Randolph, an African-American and one of the most influential leaders of the U.S. labor movement, was born. The organizer and president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, an all-black union, Randolph said: "The essence of trade unionism is uplift. The labor movement traditionally has been the haven for the dispossessed, the despised, the neglected, the downtrodden, and the poor."For more on A.

Also known as: William Robinson, Jr., William Robinson
Singer, songwriter, producer
Motown star Smokey Robinson (born 1940), cofounder of the Tamla record label, has been a composer and performer for more than 30 years.
Smokey Robinson, the "poet laureate of soul music," has been composing and singing rhythm and blues hits for more than three decades. As the lead singer of the Miracles, Robinson, who moved to SBK Records later in his career, helped to put Detroit and its Motown Records on the music map; his solo performances have netted Grammy Awards and praise from pundits who usually shun the pop genre. People contributor Gail Buchalter labeled Robinson "one of the smoothest tenors in soul music," a romantic idol whose 60 million-plus in record sales "helped turn Motown into the largest black-owned corporation in the world."
According to Jay Cocks in Time, Robinson has written, produced, and performed "some of the most enduring rhythm and blues [songs] ever made. The church kept easy company with the street corner in his rich melodies, and his lyrics had a shimmering, reflective grace that, at his pleasure, could challenge or seduce. With the Miracles, Smokey helped make a kind of soul music that balanced ghetto pride and middle-class ambition. Some of the group's best tunes ... stayed true to the R & B roots even as they beckoned, and found, a larger pop audience." In Rolling Stone, Steve Pond concluded that Robinson has written "some 4000 songs and recorded hundreds that have made him a true poet of the soul and a voice of the soul, too."
William "Smokey Joe" Robinson, Jr., not only rose from obscurity, he brought along a number of other now-famous black recording stars when he began to find success. He was born and raised in Detroit, in the rough Brewster ghetto, where, as he recalled in People, "you were either in a [music] group or a gang or both." Young Smokey grew up listening to his mother's records, including the works of B. B. King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Sarah Vaughan, and Billy Eckstine. These black artists, he commented in Rolling Stone, were "the first inspirational thing I had." When Robinson was ten, his mother died, and his sister Geraldine took him in, raising him along with her ten children. The family was poor but close-knit, and Robinson spent his youth writing songs and singing in local bands.
Robinson would not consider a professional career until he graduated from high school, and even then he tried barber school and courses in dentistry before giving his full attention to music. In 1954 he formed a rhythm and blues group called the Matadors; the name was changed to the Miracles three years later to accommodate a female singer, Claudette Rogers, who married Robinson in 1959. At first the members of the Miracleswho were each paid five dollars per week by their agent, Berry Gordyfound the music business difficult. "For a while," Claudette Robinson related in Essence, "we lived basically in one bedroom. But we didn't stay in that house very long. Fortunately, the music started to happen."
Robinson was lucky to have encountered Berry Gordy during an audition for another agent; Gordy, then a fledgling music producer on a shoestring budget, was equally fortunate to have found Robinson. Gordy began to produce the Miracles's singles in 1958, collaborating with Robinson on lyrics and tunes. Their first release, "Got a Job"an answer to The Silhouettes's number one hit "Get a Job"hit Number 93 on the nationwide Billboard Top 100 chart. The debut was encouraging, but nothing prepared Gordy and Robinson for the limelight they would attain in 1960. Late in that year they released an upbeat single, "Shop Around," that became a chart-topping million-seller. The Miracles subsequently became a national phenomenon, and Gordy was able to launch Motown Records, a landmark production company that introduced such talents as Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the Temptations.
Robinson and the Miracles were Gordy's first star-quality group, and they continued their association with Motown as the company gained prestige. Indeed, Robinson wrote hit songs not only for his group but for other Motown headliners as well. He explained the Motown philosophy in Rolling Stone: "We set out to make music for people of all races and nationalities. Not to make black musicwe just wanted to make good music that would be acceptable in all circles.... All we were doing, man, was just putting good songs on good tracks, songs that anybody could relate to. We had good, solid songs that would fit your particular life situation if you were white or Oriental or Chicano or whatever you happened to be. And that made a world of difference."
Throughout the 1960s, especially in the latter half of the decade, the Motown sound competed with the music of the British invasion for popularity among the young. Robinson and the Miracles were favorites among the Motown personnel, earning more than six gold records containing such hits as "The Tracks of My Tears," "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," "I Second That Emotion," and "Ooo Baby Baby." Still, Robinson was on the verge of quitting the group in 1968 when his son Berry was born. He reconsidered almost immediately, however, when the Miracles single, "Tears of a Clown," became a Number One hit, first in England and then in the United States. Robinson noted in Rolling Stone that "Tears of a Clown" became the biggest record we ever had. It catapulted us into another financial echelon as far as what we made on dates, and I felt that the band was entitled to reap the benefits." The Miracles, a model group in terms of road behavior, endured until 1972, when Robinson quit.
For a time after leaving the Miracles, Robinson concentrated on his business duties as vice-president of Motown Records. He soon returned to recording, however, this time as a solo artist. His solo albums are, on the whole, more reflective and mellow than his work with the Miracles. All of them highlight the singer's particular talentthe creation and performance of meaningful love songs at a time when many erstwhile romantics have become jaded cynics. Stephen Holden summed up the reason for the immense popularity of Robinson's music in Rolling Stone: "Smokey Robinson is that rare pop singer whose rhapsodic lyricism hasn't diminished with approaching middle age. Indeed, time has added a metaphysical depth to his art.... Smokey Robinson's faith in the redemptive power of erotic love continues unabated. In Robinson's musical world, sexual happiness isn't the product of spiritual equilibrium but its source.... Don't think, however, that Robinson's songs aren't filled with sex. They are. But in this man's art, sex isn't a fast roll in the hay, it's sweet manna shared during a leisurely stroll into paradise. Smokey Robinson creates that paradise every time he opens his mouth to sing."
Robinson's records of the late 1980s, when he was well into his third decade in the music business, continued to garner popularity and the approval of critics. A People magazine reviewer found that on his 1986 album Smoke Signals, for example, the singer "remains a uniquely resilient performer." His 1987's album entitled One Heartbeat was termed "another winning package of sharp, sophisticated soul" by a reviewer from Rolling Stone. Robinson hits like "Cruisin'," "Just to See Her"a Grammy Award winnerand "Being With You" became both rhythm-and-blues and pop hits and were rendered in a voice Essence contributor Jack Slater hailed as "a hypnotic, airy aphrodisiac that puts tens of thousands in the mood for love." Coupled with his success with the Miracles and as a prolific Motown songwriter, Robinson's solo achievements in the music industry led to his 1986 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 1989 he was named a Grammy Living Legend.
Coping with such enormous fame has not always been easy for Robinson. He chronicles his personal struggles in his 1989 collaboration with David Ritz, Smokey: Inside My Life. Musician contributor Jon Young remarked that the autobiography "documents everything from [Robinson's] family history and the early days of the Miracles to his extramarital affairs and, most striking, a graphic account of two years in thrall to cocaine in the mid-'80s." When asked why he chose to provide such candid details about his drug addiction, Robinson responded to Young, "I wrote it because it was God's will.... I was saved from drugs in 1986 when my pastor prayed for me. I never went to rehab or to a doctor. It was a miracle healing from God, so that I could carry the message about the perils of drugs. At the time I was saved, I was already dead. You are now speaking to Lazarus."
With the onset of the 1990s, Robinson's contract with Motown Records expired, and after a long and productive career with the record company, he moved to SBK Records. According to Gary Graff of the Detroit Free Press, the singer said simply, "My contract with Motown was up, and I was just out of there." He also pointed to the sale of Motown Records to MCA and Boston Ventures in 1988 as one of the reasons for his departure. "After we sold the company," he continued to Graff, "it was never really quite the same for me." With SBK Records, Robinson released a well-received LP he co-produced and recorded in less than six weeks, 1991's Double Good Everything. "It feels like a new day or something, man," he divulged to Graff. "This is the first thing I've ever done outside of Motown; that's a big deal to me.... I feel like a new artist, almost."
Also in 1991, Robinson ventured into previously unchartered areas of the music world, considering an album of country-western tunes and penning the score for a Broadway musical titled Hoops, which presents the history of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team. "I've written 22 pieces so far," Robinson told Young in February of 1992. "I want this to be like [the Broadway musical] South Pacific and produce several hits. The title track is a funk thing that I can envision being a halftime song for the NBA [National Basketball Association]." Robinson plans to continue his often hectic schedule of performing, comosing, and recording. "If the world lasts until the twenty-second century," the enduring singer-songwriter declared to Young, "I hope they're still playing my music."

Already formatted in FAT32, it works for the PS3 straight out of the box.It's enclosed in a lovely rubber matte casing that adds some needed protection for your data storage. But what really made me purchase this instead of the popular Western Digital 1TB "My Book", was the size! It's roughly the depth of 2 DVDs, and weighs abouts the same as the Nintendo Wii! The "My Book" is massive in comparison.It's also very quiet, the rubber casing around it certainly helps!My PS3 detected "harddrive XS" immediately, and I then put a few photos, music, films and game saves on it, so that I didn't have to create these Folders on my PC. Et voila, 930 GB of HDD space!The only minor complaint, is that the USB 2.0 cable provided is far too short, and I had to use my own. Other than that, this external HDD is superb for PS3 use!
5 Very impressed!AdaBailey | 11/02/2010 | See all AdaBailey's reviews (3)Setup couldn't be simpler, just plug it into your computer and store your data. PC recognised it straight away and moving data from one place to another is accomplished at speed - just drag and drop. My only complaint is the ludicrously short USB cable. A trip to the IT shop solved that as I had to purchase a longer cable so that the drive could sit comfortably on my desktop. Otherwise an excellent product - silent and efficient. I'd definitely buy Freecom again and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting an external drive for their PC. Great value for money, too.
5 Great !!declan27 | 18/11/2009 | See all declan27's reviews (3)This is a really good hard drive, i bought it to store all my music and other media. Its superb value for money. Its very quiet when being used and works with xbox 360 aswell.If i had to point out one minor thing it would be that the usb mini cable is very short and i had to buy another cable elsewhere.But i would highly reccommend this product, no regrets in buying it.
5 Excellent Hard DriveASG1948 | 26/10/2011 | See all ASG1948's reviews (1)Look no further for one of the best hard drives out there. Reliable and easy to use. Works with both PC and Mac, and already comes formatted in FAT32 so it works with PS3 and Xbox 360.

We decided to have a little fun!
We decided to take a short break from all of our Anaheim and DCC video footage and just post some video eye candy of trains running through some delightful scenery.
It's a lot less technical - we think it's nice now and then to just sit back and enjoy watching trains!
We hope you like it.
Charlie, your video and modeling are outstanding!
I see at least a dozen potential articles here. First of which is how does one produce such a video.
I do have one question. While the prototype pictures show the Alcos with long-hood forward, your handsome models show the opposite. What's up?
Mark Pierce
An excellent video.
You need a great layout, the good video equipment and the knowledge. You have all!
I wish I could do this too.
What? All that work and no special effects for the smoke or exhaust?! ;P
I really like the up angle shot on the approach to tunnel 3.
The Bare Creek
Nice video, especially the shots from the moving engine and the Doppler effect on the runbys. Using just a couple viewpoints makes it feel like a railfan production.
Long hood - Short hood
Thanks everyone for your encouragement!
Prototype pictures? There aren't any in this video. The sepias are still shots of the Bear Creek that I stuck under the text to add a little extra interest (pure text being a bit boring).
As to the long hood/short hood issue it's really quite simiple: After the engines came back from the paint shop the DCC decoders were programmed backward. Since these two engines are intended to always run as a pair (two Kato RS2s == the ability to pull all but the longest trains up that 2.8% grade) I didn't want the 'inner' headlights of the pair to be lit. So I did some special directional programming so only the 'fwd' direction headlight would be lit on each unit (when F0 is active). In reverse (for that unit) the headlight is supposed to be off.
As I was shooting the videos I noticed that the 'on' headlight was on the short hood! But I was so caught up with video production that I didn't want to go fight with decoder pro to get these engines reprogrammed. So I just swapped ends and ran them short hood foward for this video. Sigh, I guess I should have done the reprogramming thing instead.
The equipment is fairly simple. I have Panasonic PV GS-250 cam-corder (3 ccd but std def) which I used for most shots. This camera has enough manual controls to set focus and exposure. The train-cam is my wife's Canon SD400 ultra compact point and shoot using its 640x480 movie mode (I sat the camera on a flat car). Editing was done with Sony Vegas. Most of the edit features I used would be present in a program such as Adobe Premeire. Vegas may have some better quality rendering engines than the entry level programs (but it might not). One other thing - video needs LOTS of light. Those dual T8 fluorescent fixtures in the ceiling aren't really bright enough. I brought my twin head halogen work light down from the garage and used that to punch up the lighting. Mixing the 3000K of the halogen and the 4100K of the fluorescents was a concern but some how the cameras seem to have handled it decently (though not perfectly). I did do some color balance adjustments in Vegas for the train-cam shots as they were a bit on the red/yellow side.
I've seen a number of your video efforts Wolfgang and they've been some of my inspiration for doing video (along with Joe Fugate and even Allen Keller). Video is a dangerous thing in the train room - easy to get so caught up with it that very little gets done on the layout!
Joe Fugate did the post production, adding the MRH sequences and the background music and doing the final rendering (thanks Joe!).
yes, video is a time consuming hobby. As well as photography. And a day has only 24 hours, plus night.
But it's not only enough to own the equipment, you have to know how to use it! And you know it.
BTW, there were a few railroads with short hood front! I like it.
Fooled me
Charlie said "Prototype pictures? There aren't any in this video. The sepias are still shots of the Bear Creek that I stuck under the text to add a little extra interest (pure text being a bit boring)."
Those pictures fooled me!
Mark Pierce
Very well done Charlie. I
Very well done Charlie. I agree completely with video being very addictive. I started taking video of the large-scale live steam meets I was involved; pretty soon, I was doing video more often than I was running my equipment.
Check out stationstudios on YouTube for some examples. Again, I used very basic equipment including a Canon SD750 camera and a Sony camcorder that's at least 6 years old. I've been using Pinnacle Studio for video editing.
Once again, well done.
Take care,

Double Barrier Option
Definition of 'Double Barrier Option'An option with two distinct triggers that define the allowable range for the price fluctuation of the underlying asset. In order for the investor to receive a payout, one of two situations must occur; the price must reach the range limits (for a knock-in) or the price must avoid touching either limit (for a knock-out). |
Investopedia explains 'Double Barrier Option'A double barrier option is a combination of two dependent knock-in or knock-out options. If one of the barriers are reached in a double knock-out option, the option is killed. If one of the barriers are reached in a double knock-in option, the option comes alive. |

Tell Us About Your Transfer
We'll Tell You Where to Get the Best Rate!
Good company to deal with. I never used a currency specialist before but found the account setup process to be very straight forward, rates to be competitive and my transfer was dealt with within 24 hours.
I used currency solutions once and never will again. My money took forever to arrive and I missed the cut off point for the down payment on my house. There are much better services out there.
Other than a few delays I've been pretty happy with the company over the years.
Fantastic company to deal with. When I don't Use Moneycorp they are there to help.
Quality service. Defo the best broker I have used before.

We've come to expect hyperbole from Tim, and we're not saying a cover shot is anything to sneeze at, but … having your look put into production by Banana Republic? Getting Iman to wear your dress on the red carpet? HELLO?
We were standing in line to get inside the tent yesterday and Joanna was standing right in front of us. After a quick introduction, she admitted she was afraid that she was too mean to Anna. Honey, we're here to tell you, after the execrable guest judging of last season, a bitchy British fashion editor is exactly what the doctor ordered.
It's funny. After all this time, we can still have a new and unique viewing experience with this show. Because of the snow and the subsequent complete clusterfuck that mass transit became, we were only able to get a train into NY in the middle of the night. We saw maybe the first ten minutes of the show before the honk of a cab horn came in through our ice-encrusted windows, and the results of the show were relayed to us by reading our minions' commentary in the T Lounge post. We were pleasantly surprised to hear Miss Sophia won and judging by the enthusiastic reception his dress received in our comments section, we couldn't wait to see a picture of it.
Fast forward to 2 am (and believe us, there was no fast forwarding for us, thanks to the ashtray-smelling meth-head sitting in front of us on the train). A sleepy Peter Shelton lets us in, heads back to bed, and we immediately fired up our laptops and headed off to the Lifetime page to eagerly see the dress everyone had raved about. Our reaction? A puzzled "Oh."
We weren't originally bowled over by it, to be honest. It wasn't until we saw the entire show (last night) that we got our heads around it. It is a pretty dress and it is entirely appropriate for a Marie Claire cover. No arguments there.
But we couldn't get over how … smushed it looks. Like it was poorly packed in a suitcase. We like the design very much, but we were surprised that no one really mentioned that.
There is a lot of interesting detailing here and it's to Anthony's credit that none of it looks like too much or overwhelms the dress. Not to take anything away from his win, but he benefitted from the fact that, for whatever reasons, the rest of the airheads in the competition went off on flights of design fancy that were particularly ill-suited for a cover shot.
But really, it was a deserved win. The color was gorgeous and absolutely appropriate. It looks exactly like something Heidi would wear. And as the judges said, it pretty much screamed "SPRING IS HERE!"
One other thing to note: we like this season's cast, but they're getting to be a little low-key as time goes on. It was truly touching how happy all of them were for Anthony. We can't think of any other designer who got that kind of screaming and clapping reaction for their win. It was adorable and a testament both to how much the cast loves him and how sweet the cast can be. It actually made these two nasty bitches tear up a bit.

MSFast Mission
The Mississippi Federal & State Technology (MS-FAST) Partnership Program's aim is to provide encouragement and assistance to Mississippi's small high-tech businesses in participating in the federally funded Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and the commercialization of technologies developed by businesses as a result of these programs.
MS-FAST Program now part of USM/BIAC
The Mississippi - Federal and State Technology Partnership program (MS-FAST) lead by The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) working with its Mississippi Research Consortium members: Jackson State University, Mississippi State University, The University of Mississippi and The University of Mississippi Medical Center, was established in 2001 to assist Mississippis small high-tech firms to better compete in the SBIR and STTR programs. Beginning in 2009, MS-FAST is now integrated under the newly formed USM - Business and Innovation Assistance Center, better known as USM/BIAC, located in Building 1103 - the Mississippi Technology Transfer Center - on the grounds of the NASA John C. Stennis Space Center (NASA-SSC) in Hancock County, MS. Innovate Mississippi, MS-FASTs partner since its inception, remains MS-FASTs key supporter.
As part of USM/BIAC, the MS-FAST Program will now operate with the functional support that a university center can provide and will benefit from its integrated relationship with USM/BIACs other programs and services as well as USM/BIACs larger network of strategic partners and supporters. Joe Graben, the MS-FAST Program Director, now serves as the Director of USM/BIAC.
What is USM/BIAC? USM/BIACs mantra is: Launching Innovation! USM/BIAC supports launching early stage technology R&D and innovation commercialization efforts by businesses, state/federal governments, universities and individuals that in turn are directed at fostering high-tech business growth and economic development within the state as well as supporting federal and state agencies in meeting their mission goals. It carries this out by identifying, networking and facilitating partnerships and opportunities among federal, state/university and private organizations that leverage their combined resources and capabilities in support of innovative technology development and commercialization.
USM/BIAC represents a set of programs, services and expertise that have organically grown from USMs services that have for more than a decade provided support to the States universities, NASAs and other federal agencies technology development and transfer programs and related efforts in working with small businesses, industry and other organizations in technology development and commercialization.
Under USM/BIAC, MS-FAST now has a website (http://www.usm.edu/biac/ms-fast.php) which includes a set of presentations providing useful information and links to online tools and tutorials explaining the federal SBIR-STTR programs, how to develop a Phase 1 proposal, the role of SBIR in the technology development and commercialization process and much more. The MS-FAST website under USM/BIAC is still under development and will continue to grow and will include in the near future an archive of the MS-FAST SBIR News Alert! newsletters.
MS-Fast is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

I decided this morning that since the National Post's Andrew Coyne is such a believer in a new political party due to his Liberal Party being beyond repair, I would start the "Draft Coyne for Leader" movement.
It's time for Coyne to put his beliefs and of course very loud mouth into action, stop whining about his beloved Bob Rae's failure to become the Liberal Party's saviour and lead his Frankenstein party of enviros, free marketers, economic libertarians and economic liberals (see here). I mean, he does say it would be ever so easy right?
Who else is in to help draft Messiah Coyne?
Also, please include your suggestions for to name this new political entity.

New Homeowner - Replace or Repair
Hello, I'm a new homeowner. In my younger days I used to be a helper for a HVAC company in VA.
I just bought my house last Friday. When I came home from closing I found that the Central Air was not working and the breaker had been tripped. When I reset the breaker, I still got no air. The unit outside was spinning rather slowly and then breaker tripped again.
I wrote down the specs for the unit Goodman (Janitrol) and called to see if it was still under warranty. Just so happens that it expired early this year.
So my question is should I have a technician come out to repair or should I buy a new one? I know that seems like a crazy question since I don't know what the problem is, but the unit is a Janitrol and its only 10 SEER. In my day Janitrol (Goodman) was a low end product. I heard that they are better products now, but I'm sure 10 SEER is well below industry standards. I don't want to waste money and time trying to get it repaired when I should be buying a new one.
Here are the specs for my current one.
Goodman Single Package Gas-Electric Heating-Cooling Unit
Model Number GPG10481151A
Model Description 4T PKG Gas 10 SEER 115k 1PH
I have 2 systems, a small one with air handler for upstairs and the one in question (Gas Pack) for downstairs.
Thank you for your time.
the fact the breaker didn't trip immediately, is a good sign. Every tech that reads this will more than likely know what is wrong with it. Yes, call for service.

Ok, I will make the call. So the 10 SEER shouldn't be a concern?

Find out what is wrong before you decide to replace it. 10 seer is low but not overly low. Find out what the repair is first, compare the price and then decide. IMO its a terrible idea to decide to replace a unit before you know whats wrong with the old one.
The only true knowledge is the pursuit of knowledge
You could get a unit with a higher seer, but I wouldn't advice swapping out a 10seer at 10 years old, for the sake of a few extra seer.
If we were talking low seer, I mean 8 or under, then I'd might agree, but then again the unit would probably be a good deal older also.
It would depend on what the issue actually is.
Also, it sounds like you've got a self-contained unit. From what I recall, even the new units don't get that high (such as an 18 seer) in their ratings.
Something NOT mentioned alot on here, is that there are still units being sold at UNDER 10 seer.
Some speciality systems are not subject to the federal minimum standard, which is 13 seer.
I'm installing a 9.5 seer magicpak system soon. It is not subject to the 13 seer federal standard."Better tell the sandman to stay away, because we're gonna be workin on this one all night."

Thanks for all your responses. I had a serviceman come out yesterday. When we trip the breaker, the compressor blew right there on the spot. Freon was everywhere.
He told me that he could replace the compressor, but it would be better to replace the unit. I was shocked to find out how much a "Gas Pack" cost. This would have been a deal breaker if I known before I closed.
Thanks for info.
