George Custer was born on December 5, 1839, in New Rumley, Ohio. He served in the Civil War with General George B. McClellan. He became a brigadier general, and his pursuit of General Robert E. Lee helped to bring an end to the Civil War. In September 1868 he joined the 7th Cavalry in Kansas. On June 25, 1876, he led 210 men into battle at Little Bighorn against Lakota and Cheyenne warriors. Custer and all of his men were killed in the battle.
I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.
Early Years
An American Army general who famously lost his life at the hands of Native American warriors at the Battle of Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer was born December 5, 1839, in New Rumley, Ohio.
A good part of his childhood was spent in Monroe, Michigan, where he lived with his half-sister. Despite his poor origins, a determined Custer was convinced he could make a better life for himself. After he graduated from high school he set his sights on West Point. While he lacked the qualifications many of the other candidates had, his confidence won over his local congressman, and with his support Custer enrolled in the school in 1857.
But West Point was not a perfect fit. Despite his longing to climb to a higher rank in life, an element of rebellion ran through the young officer. He buckled under authority, and his infractions led him to famously finish last in his last class upon graduating in June 1861.
Then, just a few days after graduating, he failed as officer of the guard to prevent a fight between two cadets. He was nearly court-martialed as a result of it, but was saved due to the outbreak of the Civil War and the desperate need for officers.
Young Hero
In the bloody war that divided his nation, Custer excelled. He seemed to demonstrate a streak of good fortune at avoiding injury, a gift that he came to call "Custer's luck."
His brilliance at directing cavalry actions at the Battle of Bull Run, his first battle, earned him recognition. The press gushed over the young general who wore bright red neckties onto the battlefield. The New York Tribune wrote: "Future writers of fiction will find in Brigadier General Custer most of the qualities which go to make up a first-class hero."
He was known as "The Boy General," and his daring and bravery led him to stay in the thick of the fight until the war concluded. Its end, too, was owed in part to Custer, whose cavalry units were crucial in standing down Confederate General Robert E. Lee and forcing him to surrender at Appomattox, on April 9, 1865.
As a reward for his heroism, Lieutenant General Philip Sheridan, a huge Custer supporter, gave the young military hero the table used to sign the war's peace terms. With it he wrote a note to Custer's wife, Libbie, in praise of her husband. "Permit me to say, Madam," he wrote, "that there is scarcely an individual in our service who has contributed more to bring about this desirable result than your gallant husband."
Battle At Little Bighorn
In the years following the Civil War, Custer continued to distinguish himself in the eyes of the military and public with his battles against Native Americans.

Wild West
The Wild West holds a special place in American history—Western films depict it as a place where the rules didn't apply, and where scores were settled with gun slinging and shootouts. The colorful characters who made up the old West were men, women, cowboys, Indians, sheriffs just plain outlaws. Though we've come to have a more nuanced understanding of the good and the bad of the old West, we can still learn from the stories of the people who made it and who wrote about what it was.

Effect of Clotrimazole on the Pump Cycle of the Na,K-ATPase Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 4, 15 August 2008, Pages 1813-1825 Gianluca Bartolommei, Nadège Devaux, Francesco Tadini-Buoninsegni, MariaRosa Moncelli and Hans-Jürgen Apell Abstract The effect of the antimycotic drug clotrimazole (CLT) on the Na,K-ATPase was investigated using fluorescence and electrical measurements. The results obtained by steady-state fluorescence experiments with the electrochromic styryl dye RH421 were combined with those achieved by a pre-steady-state method based on fast solution exchange on a solid supported membrane that adsorbs the protein. Both techniques are suitable for monitoring the electrogenic steps of the pump cycle and are in general complementary, yielding distinct kinetic information. The experiments show clearly that CLT affects specific partial reactions of the pump cycle of the Na,K-ATPase with an affinity in the low micromolar range and in a reversible manner. All results can be consistently explained by proposing the CLT-promoted formation of an ion-occluded-CLT-bound conformational E2 state, E2CLT(X2) that acts as a "dead-end" side track of the pump cycle, where X stands for H+ or K+. Na+ binding, enzyme phosphorylation, and Na+ transport were not affected by CLT, and at high CLT concentrations ∼13 of the enzyme remained active in the physiological transport mode. The presence of Na+ and K+ destabilized the inactivated form of the Na,K-ATPase. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (244 kb) |
Kinetics of Na-Dependent Conformational Changes of Rabbit Kidney Na,K-ATPase Biophysical Journal, Volume 75, Issue 3, 1 September 1998, Pages 1340-1353 Ronald J. Clarke, David J. Kane, Hans-Jürgen Apell, Milena Roudna and Ernst Bamberg Abstract The kinetics of Na+-dependent partial reactions of the Na+,K+-ATPase from rabbit kidney were investigated via the stopped-flow technique, using the fluorescent labels N-(4-sulfobutyl)-4-(4-(p-(dipentylamino)phenyl)butadienyl)pyridinium inner salt (RH421) and 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein (5-IAF). When covalently labeled 5-IAF enzyme is mixed with ATP, the two labels give almost identical kinetic responses. Under the chosen experimental conditions two exponential time functions are necessary to fit the data. The dominant fast phase, 1/τ1≈155s−1 for 5-IAF-labeled enzyme and 1/τ1≈200s−1 for native enzyme (saturating [ATP] and [Na+], pH 7.4 and 24°C), is attributed to phosphorylation of the enzyme and a subsequent conformational change (E1ATP(Na+)3→E2P(Na+)3+ADP). The smaller amplitude slow phase, 1/τ2=30–45s−1, is attributed to the relaxation of the dephosphorylation/rephosphorylation equilibrium in the absence of K+ ions (E2P⇔E2). The Na+ concentration dependence of 1/τ1 showed half-saturation at a Na+ concentration of 6–8mM, with positive cooperativity involved in the occupation of the Na+ binding sites. The apparent dissociation constant of the high-affinity ATP-binding site determined from the ATP concentration dependence of 1/τ1 was 8.0 (± 0.7) μM. It was found that P3-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl ATP, tripropylammonium salt (NPE-caged ATP), at concentrations in the hundreds of micromolar range, significantly decreases the value of 1/τ1 observed. This, as well as the biexponential nature of the kinetic traces, can account for previously reported discrepancies in the rates of the reactions investigated. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (233 kb) |
Rate Determination in Phosphorylation of Shark Rectal Na,K-ATPase by ATP: Temperature Sensitivity and Effects of ADP Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 2, 1 August 1999, Pages 934-942 Flemming Cornelius Abstract Phosphorylation of shark rectal Na,K-ATPase by ATP in the presence of Na+ was characterized by chemical quench experiments and by stopped-flow RH421 fluorescence. The appearance of acid-stable phosphoenzyme was faster than the rate of fluorescence increase, suggesting that of the two acid-stable phosphoenzymes formed, RH421 exclusively detects formation of E2-P, which follows formation of E1-P. The stopped-flow RH421 fluorescence response to ATP phosphorylation was biphasic, with a major fast phase with kobs ∼90s−1 and a minor slow phase with a kobs of ∼9s−1 (20°C, pH 7.4). The observed rate constants for both the slow and the fast phase could be fitted with identical second-degree functions of the ATP concentration with apparent binding constants of ∼3.1×107M−1 and 1.8×105M−1, respectively. Increasing [ADP] decreased kobs for the rate of the RH421 fluorescence response to ATP phosphorylation. This could be accounted for by the reaction of ADP with the initially formed E1-P followed by a conformational change to E2-P. The biphasic stopped-flow RH421 responses to ATP phosphorylation could be simulated, assuming that in the absence of K+ the highly fluorescent E2-P is slowly transformed into the "K+-insensitive" E′2-P subconformation forming a side branch of the main cycle.

The effect of Pb2+ ions on the Na+,K+-ATPase was investigated in detail by means of steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. Experiments were performed by using the electrochromic styryl dye RH421. It is shown that Pb2+ ions can bind reversibly to the protein and do not affect the Na+ and K+ binding affinities in the E1 and P-E2 conformations of the enzyme. The pH titrations indicate that lead(II) favors binding of one H+ to the P-E2 conformation in the absence of K+. A model scheme is proposed that accounts for the experimental results obtained for backdoor phosphorylation of the enzyme in the presence of Pb2+ ions. Taken together, our results clearly indicate that Pb2+ bound to the enzyme stabilizes an E2-type conformation. In particular, under conditions that promote enzyme phosphorylation, Pb2+ ions are able to confine the Na+,K+-ATPase into a phosphorylated E2 state.

Gavin and Colbie payed a visit to the Tonigth Show set last night for a Valentine's Day performance of 'We Both Know', a track they recorded for the 'Safe Haven' soundtrack. The Tonight Show set designers really dug deep for this one, choosing to support the performance with an extra-cheesy backdrop of pink roses...as if the tune wasn't already overly saturated in sappiness. All that being said, Gavin and Colbie sounded fantastic so if you are looking for a little romantic treat today, check it out:

The White House and US Senate Republicans sorted through disputes over taxing the wealthy and cutting the defence department and other federal agencies as Monday night's midnight deadline for avoiding a "fiscal cliff" drew to within hours.
At stake are sweeping tax hikes and across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect at the turn of the year.
Taken together, they have been dubbed the fiscal cliff, and economists warn the one-two punch - which leaders in both parties have said they want to avoid - could result in a big jump in unemployment, turmoil in financial markets and send the still-fragile economy back into recession.
Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell spoke repeatedly to vice president Joe Biden, a former Senate colleague, in the hope of settling remaining differences and clinching a breakthrough that has evaded the two sides since president Barack Obama's November re-election.
In one indication of the 11th-hour activity, aides said the president, Mr Biden and top administration bargainer Rob Nabors were all working late at the White House, and Mr McConnell was making late-night phone calls as well.
The House and Senate planned to meet on Monday, a rarity for New Year's Eve, in the hope of having a tentative agreement to consider. Yet despite the flurry of activity, there was still no final pact.
Unless an agreement is reached and approved by the start of New Year's Day, more than 500 billion US dollars (£310 billion) in 2013 tax increases will begin to take effect and 109 billion US dollars (£67 billion) will be carved from defence and domestic programmes
"There is still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue," Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid said shortly before the Senate ended a rare Sunday session. "There is still time to reach an agreement, and we intend to continue negotiations."
The US faces the fiscal cliff because tax rate cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 during president George W Bush's administration expire on December 31.
The pending across-the-board reductions in government spending, which will slice money out of everything from social programmes to the military, were put in place last year as an incentive to both parties to find ways to cut spending. That solution grew out of the two parties' inability in 2011 to agree to a grand bargain that would have taken a big bite out of the deficit.

In San Diego and Imperial Counties
Today we have so many different choices when it comes to painting. Where do you start? Well, it depends. Let's start with interior painting. Gone are the days of Navajo White and flat finishes. Now we have over 1700 different colors to choose from in a variety of different finishes.
We still have flat finishes, which are mainly used on ceilings. Then we can choose from low-sheen, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss or gloss finishes. Typically, the lower sheens are made for your walls in the common areas like your living room and bedrooms; while the higher sheens are generally for areas where there will be water, i.e., bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen. Also your doors and trim moldings are painted with the higher sheens.
Now that we have our sheens down, it's time to move onto colors. With 1,700 different colors to choose from sometimes it can be a bit over whelming. What I recommend to my customers is to pick out a few colors that you think will work in your home then go to the paint store and purchase some samples. Paint stores usually have sample size cans so you can apply a small area of your wall to see how the colors are going to look in your house. Now just because a color looked good in your friend's house doesn't mean it's going to work in your home! Things like lighting and the color of your floors and furniture will all have to be taken into account when selecting the right color for your home.
Okay, we've selected the color; we know what sheen we're going to use, now it's time to paint right? Well not so quick, the first and most important step in a paint job is the preparation. Are there nail holes to fill, cracks to repair? These things should be taken care of before you even think about dipping your paint brush into the can. Next you want to make sure that your floors, cabinets and items you're not painting are covered and protected. I recommend light weight visqueen. It's easy to use and relatively inexpensive. Remove all of your cover plates from your electrical outlets and cover the switches and outlets with tape. Wow! Who thought it would be this much work!
You are now you are ready to paint. Chances are you'll be using brushes and rollers to apply the paint. You want to make sure that the brushes and rollers you are going to use are of good quality and that goes for the paint as well. The better quality paints will cover much better and are also easier to work with; plus by using quality paint your end product will look much nicer.
If you are changing colors you'll want to apply two coats of paint so you get a uniform finish. You should give the first coat at least four hours to dry before applying the 2nd coat of paint. If you are going to use more than two gallons of paint make sure you mix then cans (from the same color or course) together before applying them. This is called "boxing the paint". Sometimes two different cans of paint of the same color may be slightly different, so by boxing the paint together you'll be sure to have the same color when painting your room.
There you have it! Hopefully, with this information you'll have fun with your next painting project. I have over 27 years of experience painting in San Diego and I really do enjoy what I am doing. With the right attitude and the proper materials you should have fun with your next painting project.Article courtesy of Don Martin, of Mr. D's Painting.

Access for All Abilities Mini Grant Initiative
AAA Homepage | 2010 Recipients | 2011 Recipients | 2012 Recipients
2009 Mini-Grant Recipients
The Paul V. Sherlock Center on Disabilities at Rhode Island College awarded 2009 "Access for All Abilities" mini-grants to four Rhode Island organizations.
Recipients of the $2,500 grants were the Bristol Historical and Preservation Society, the Providence Public Library, the Rotary Club of Chariho and The Steel Yard, Providence.
The award to the Bristol Historical and Preservation Society, housed in the former Bristol Town Jail, used the funds to acquire video and audio technology to make the Society's collections available as a video tour for individuals with disabilities who are currently unable to access the historic building's second floor. The technology will also assist those involved in historical research.
The Providence Public Library utilized the grant funds to conduct a series of workshops designed to help librarians and program presenters become more effective at inclusion of children and adults with disabilities or mental illness in library programs. Videotapes of the workshops are available in digital form from the Providence Library website. Funds were also set aside to provide American Sign Language interpreters at programs at Providence Public Library and throughout the state.
- Hands on Literacy, October 21, 2009 - Presented by Wendy Kirchner of Meeting Street Schools
- Brown Bag Panel Discussion: Serving diverse populations in library programming, March 25, 2009 - Presented by Carolyn Davis, Manny Martin and Andy Egan, the workshop was attended by six librarians and library students
- Understanding the Patron with Mental Illness, April 8, 2010 - Presented by Charles Gross, Jen McCarthy, and Penny Ferrara.
The Rotary Club of Chariho used grant money to help defray the cost of crushed stone and equipment at the Sarah Jane McCullough Play Area, which serves children and adults in Richmond, Hopkinton, Charlestown, Westerly and Exeter. The crushed stone is part of a subsurface for a "poured in place" rubber surface, which allows complete wheelchair access. The equipment is not only accessible but also useable by people in wheelchairs. The play area, located at Richmond Elementary School, is an inclusive playground available to all individuals and families. The playground provides a location for individuals who are in wheelchairs to play with siblings, friends and family members. Parents can take their children of all abilities to one playground. Families can enjoy creating new memories with their family as they participate in play and picnic together.
The playground is also the location of a special needs program offered by the Chariho School District at the Richmond Elementary School. The Chariho School District has accepted this playground as a donation. The Sarah Jane McCullough Play Area was dedicated on June 20, 2009.

Recipe by Patti
"This is a great main dish to have at dinner. It is quick and easy and children will love it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
This recipe is super simple and tastes great. I use itlian bread crumbs so there really isn't any need for the italian seasoning. Served with rotini noodles and spaghetti sauce with bread and a salad (throw in "garlic croutons" from this site), its a perfect meal.
As written, kinda bland. I added some garlic powder, freshly-ground pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. This really needs a marinara sauce too. Not bad but needs a little tweaking.

What a wonderful weekday dinner option. Few ingredients - very little hassle. Moist, tender, and flavorful. A couple of simple sides and you're all set.
This recipe was quick, easy, and the chicken came out with a really good flavor. I used thighs and legs so the cooking time differed...they were yummy!
I really liked this recipe. It was really easy. I ended up using jalapeno cheese on some of the chicken breasts and it was great.
This was an awesome oven-fried chicken dish. I had more chicken than the recipe called for so I added about a 1/3 cup potato flakes to the bread crumb coating mix. I also oiled the pan to keep it from sticking. The chicken was very moist, and the coating was crispy and nicely browned.
My daughter loved it! She actually asked for seconds, and she never does that.
Not fancy, but quick and easy to make

I seemed to have accidently started a twitter storm debate on metaclasses in Ruby. Somethings are just are to say in 140 characters. So here's my take on the issue.
Ruby has this concept of per-class methods. In other words, you can define a method on an object, rather than on its class. Such per-object methods are callable on that object only, and not any other object in the same class.
Implementation wise, these per-object methods are defined in an almost invisible class-like object called the "Singleton Class". The singleton class injects itself into the object's method lookup list immediately prior to the object's class.
Some people object to the name "singleton class", complaining that it is easily confused with the singleton pattern from the Gang of Four book. Other suggested names are "Eigenclass" and "Metaclass".
I objected to the use of the name "metaclass" for the singleton class on the grounds that metaclass has a well understood meaning in non-Ruby circles, and that the singleton class is not a metaclass.
According to wikipedia:
In object-oriented programming, a metaclass is a class whose instances are classes. Just as an ordinary class defines the behavior of certain objects, a metaclass defines the behavior of certain classes and their instances.
I get two things out of this: (1) instances of metaclasses are classes, and (2) the metaclass defines the behavior of a class.
No, not according to the definition of metaclass.
In general, instances of singleton classes are regular objects, not classes. Singleton classes define the behavior of regular objects, not class objects.
I can't change what everybody calls them. But calling a dog a horse doesn't make it a horse. I'm just pointing out that the common usage of the term metaclass is contrary to the definition of metaclass used outside the Ruby community.
Yes … I mean no … well maybe.
Is there something that creates classes in Ruby? Yes, the class Class is used to create new classes. (e.g. Class.new). All classes are instances of Class.
Is there something that defines the behavior of classes? Yes, any class can have its own behavior by defining singleton methods. The singleton methods go into the singleton class of the class.
Ruby doesn't have a single "thing" that is a full metaclass. The role of a metaclass is split between Class (to create new classes) and singleton classes of classes (to define class specific behavior).
You weren't listening. Not all singleton classes are metaclasses. Only singleton classes of classes are metaclasses. And then only weak, partial metaclasses.
In the long run, probably not. Most people seem happy to (incorrectly) call them metaclasses, and this post is unlikely to change that behavior. Shoot, it seems the Rails team has already immortalized the term.
However, if reading this post has helped you understand what real metaclasses are, then it was worthwhile.

Anne Samplonius I have recently retired from women's elite racing after 20 years of racing around the USA and the world. I moved to Boulder 5 years ago, and finished my successful career last year with the professional team "NOW and Novartis for MS". I have coached in the past, and also directed a professional team (Subway) on my one year hiatus in 2005. I put coaching on hold during my career because I did not feel I could give enough of my time to the athlete. Simply, I did not agree with that type of coaching.
I am looking to coach around 5-10 athletes, not more. I coach with or without power. Your choice. There are no limits to communication, as I believe that this is what makes effective coaching. I also emphasize tactics and strategy in my coaching as it just does not make sense to coach only part of what constitutes a good cyclist. Anyone can train the engine - it is the mental aspect that often gets overlooked. Remember, it is not the strongest legs that can win! Contact: anneslam AT gmail DOT com

Bill Campie has 15 years of endurance sport experience and has coached fellow cyclists for over a decade. Having never had the luxury of bike racing without a family or other commitments, Bill quickly learned that the traditional means of training were not effective for a balanced lifestyle. Bill decided not to let that define his cycling and created a way to compete within real life constraints. Creating a training system that is based on utilizing your time most effectively, Bill has found that carefully crafting training so that work, family, and cycling is all very much a part of the plan creates a holistic approach that develops each aspect of your life. Based on as much discussion about cycling as about your other life goals, the training becomes a part of your life instead an add-on that no one has time for. http://everydayracer.com/

The 2008 Hess Collection Su'skol Napa Valley Chardonnay displays Asian pear and honeysuckle aromas with Clementine tangerine on the palate. There is a nice weight to the mid-palate.

The last prototype application I built was the New York Times Bestseller application. This application is a riff on one of the potential Platform applications demonstrated at last year's ALA. The "Bestseller App 2.0" allows a library to select a given New York Times Bestseller list and see which items from that list the library doesn't currently own. Then a user can select which of these items should be purchased and how many copies should be purchased. An Amazon cart with these items is then created as is a WMS order.
The application starts by using the New York Times API to get a list of all the possible current New York Times Bestseller lists and present them to the user. The user has to choose a list and input the OCLC Symbol of their library then submit this to see which of the items on the list the library doesn't currently own.
The application then uses the NYT API to get the current bestseller list selected. It loops through the items on the list and uses the ISBN(s) for each item to look up using the WorldCat Search API to see if the library has holdings. The application then presents the user with a list of items which the library does not currently own.
The user then is able to check off which items they want to purchase and choose the number of copies to purchase.
Clicking the "Place Order" button creates the order in WMS and creates and Amazon cart all the items on the order. The user is presented with a screen that lists the order details from WMS and a link to the Amazon cart.
Ironically although this application is the most complicated of the three prototype applications built, it presented the fewest challenges. This is a result of the fact that many of the functions performed by this application mirror those performed in applications written earlier. For example the order creation code had already been written when the Alibris application was developed. This application expanded it slightly to allow the number of copies to be set. The Amazon cart creation code came directly from the Amazon application. As a result the only new code that this application required was code to interact with the New York Times Bestseller API. Luckily I've worked with this API in other projects and could easily crib code from existing demonstration code I had.
So perhaps the biggest challenge with this application was scope creep. It was so easy to write that I started to think about additional features I could add to it. Like the ability to allow users to select the branch and shelving location they want to assign a particular time to. Also, having finished this code I realized that I'd really like to take the reuseable code from all the applications and abstract it into a set of reusable functions of classes. Given my time constraints and the alpha nature of these I really didn't have time to do this. But that doesn't mean I couldn't do some or all of these things in the future. Like any coding project there is always room to improve and build more.

Trying to BUILD a gas pizza oven!!!
Hey everyone, I'd love to get the input of some other DIYers out there on this adventure of mine. I've been talking about it on the oven section of a pizza making forum, but I need the thoughts of other DIY type people. Firstly, a little context. I love pizza and I love baking it. Pizza needs to be cooked at temperatures above 600 degrees. I have modified my home oven with a switch that allows me to run it in the 600-650 range. It works great. I made my own 2" thick granite stone to cook on and built a pizza peel (the big spatula). Now, my goal is to make a oven that can cook bigger pizza. I also want it to be gas because 1) gas gets to the temps I want faster, 2)I just bought a house which has natural gas, so I'd love to use it, and 3)I can convert NG to LP and then make my oven "portable" (though heavy). Also, to give myself a little bit of street credit, I am a high school shop teacher. I teach automotive, woodworking, and metalworking classes. So, DIY fabrications are not unusuall for me. I've built my own HD video projector from scratch, furniture, racecar components, and much more. (I just wanted to mention that because I know that I would be weary of some guy trying to build a gas stove... seems like a good way to blow yourself up). WHAT I WANT TO BUILD- Alright, my goal is to take a cheap home gas oven, use the burners and controls and then move them over to a custom built pizza oven. I want an oven that is about 30"x30"x8-12" tall. I need burners on the top and bottom which can be controlled separately to distribute heat accordingly. I have been reading up on commercial units, their dimensions, and their construction materials. I'm hoping to just copy them. Angle iron frame, aluminized steel interior walls (covered in granite most likely), and then probably just a steel exterior. Most commercial units have stainless exteriors, but that is expensive as well as more of a hassle to weld. (Still working on my TIG skills). SO... I am just looking for any ideas people may have, or also for people to pose questions to help me think this through all the way. I'm still working out the kinks. Like how much room the burners need, venting, how to control the top vs bottom burners separately. Anyway, please help me brainstorm! Thanks for the help! |

Look out, folks. Bill O'Reilly is about to talk about global warming again on the O'Reilly Factor.
Of course, he's already reached his conclusion that "Nobody can control the climate but God." It's just that he doesn't have any data to back up his anti-science position.
So he has one of his producers on the hunt today, apparently scrambling last minute, looking for "the very best arguments" to support climate change denial. Here's the email DeSmogBlog...
Support For Harper Government "Plunges" - Global Warming Seen as Key Factor
Support For Harper Government "Plunges" - Global Warming Seen as Key Factor
A Harris-Decima poll released today shows that the governing Tory party in Canada, under the leadership of Prime Minister Harper is losing popularity quickly due in large part to their performance at the recent United Nation's global warming conference held in Bali, Indonesia.
The Harper government now finds itself in a statistical tie at 30% with the opposition Liberal Party.
Support for the Tories has dropped across all regions and demographic groups.
The poll conducted by Harris-Decima finds that Tory popularity has dropped 11% in Quebec, 17% in British Columbia and a whopping 20% in Prime Minister Harper's home-province of Alberta.
While stating various causes for the recent drop, Harris-Decima president Bruce Anderson speculated that the government's reluctance to sign onto global greenhouse gas reduction targets in Bali cost the Tories support among urban, women and Quebec voters, who tend to be more environmentally conscious.
This research today confirms the results of a poll released earlier this week that found the Harper government taking on water over their stance on the environment and climate change. Pollster Angus Reid stated that, "the environment remains the most important issue in this country ... and this is an issue the Harperites haven't understood."

Look, I understand you want to spin this into an environment issue, but this is the same post as yesterday's, only this one is even weaker than the first.
Okay, so Harper and his travelling road show have lost 6 points since their high, 3 points since Election Day. According to Angus Reid, 26% of Canadians say their number one concern is the environment. In a separate survey, and only when asked specifically about their top environmental concern, 29% of the respondents say "global warming." How you get from there to "Support For Harper Government 'Plunges' -- Global Warming Seen as Key Factor" is where a lot of people are gonna have trouble connecting the dots.
Tory support among "urban, women and Quebec" voters has dropped. What a surprise! Not to be argumentative or anything, but "urban, women, and Quebec" voters have never been the Tory base. If his support among those demographics has dropped, it's statistically insignificant, perhaps even a given.
What's of considerably more import is his loss of support among loyal supporters. Speaking of a 17 point drop in British Columbia and a 20 point drop in Alberta, "Anderson put the slide in those two provinces down to the fact that western voters tend to be most frustrated with real or perceived political corruption and the most adamant in wanting a public inquiry into the Mulroney-Schreiber affair." Former PM Brian Mulroney's testimony about taking envelopes of cash from a defense contractor occurred (not coincidentally) last week, and the Tories took a 6 point plunge.
That's noteworthy. Harper is already reeling from breaking his campaign promise over income trusts, and the general perception is that he's too aloof. Tack on the stench of corruption and voila! a big drop in approval.
Anyhoo, great article, Kevin! Keep working it. You might find someone who'll bite on that line that the Tories are defecting over environmental concerns. (Yeah, right) Even though the conclusion isn't supported by the links you provide, it's certainly a step up from that Facebook stinker, huh?
Mr. Holliday: VJ says you're not from around here, but you're clearly a student of Canadian politics. Still, if you know that "'urban, women, and Quebec' voters have never been the Tory base," then you must also also know that, with the exception of the now-maligned Mulroney years, the Tories are not usually in power, either. And if they would like to stay in power, they might want to start paying attention to the people who have kept them on the sidelines for most of the past century. In fact, prior to the Bali fiasco, Harper had been using a lot of energy trying to cuddle up to Quebec. It seems that wasting energy is becoming his government's hallmark.
As to the Alberta base, if Harper goes to the wall on the international stage, defending Canada's right to produce, use and sell oil at levels dangerous to the planet and he STILL loses points down home, that suggests to me that he's missing more than a few signals.
Like it or not, global warming is a very serious issue. Instead of looking at it on a country by country basis, we have to reverse emissions now. That cannot be done without the co-operation of the 4th largest emission based country (India) and the largest emmiter (and growing) in China. If China and India continue their growth rate, to reduce emissions by 10% over ten years, the rest of the world would have to average about 5% reduction per year, when most countries struggled at 5% over ten years. Quite simply, it cannot be done. That is 65% over ten years. China and India have no choice but to step up to the plate or world wide emissions will grow. The world does not need another Kyoto, which was a 15 year pact that only guaranteed emissions would continue to rise. Why sign onto another 15 year deal that only guarantees emissions will rise? Contrary to how people portray Kyoto, it never would have reduced emissions, so why sit on our collective butts for yet another 15 years and do something that while nice for a start, remains at large ineffectual with dealing with the real problem?
...we have to reverse emissions now. That cannot be done without the co-operation of the 4th largest emission based country (India) and the largest emmiter (and growing) in China... How about we start cleaning up our own act before getting all judgmental of India and China. We have benefitted from emitting too much GHG; now we have a debt to pay. Let us lead by example and clean up our own act, then we can help them avoid being as dirty as we have been.
my great fear? either we KEEP Harper... or g*d help us...
we could end up with "torture bad, but what can we do about it, we're only politicians" Ignatieff...
I was so ashamed to read that Suzuki was confronted by a Nigerian who complained about Canada 'holding the Bully's coat' in Bali...
good to know the Bushevik cancer is spreading to Canada through our Parliament... as Canadians blythely chirp on about how 'it can't happen here'.
SPP anyone?

"Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced"
Harper is getting lower approvals for his childish tactics about "treating the undeveloped world like we treat Canadians", perhaps because we don't like the idea of 65% of us living like they do in India.
Thats what it means when Harper demands that India has the same emissions targets that we do here in Canada.
Measuring emissions on a per-capita basis would really sink Canada if we had to meet the per-capita emissions they have in India.
Whats next? - that Africa should be on par with Canada in trade deals? Or that the IMF should impose the same conditions for loans to Canada/Canadians that they have imposed on Africa"? [eg. - no social programs or health spending by nations who receive loans from the IMF or World Bank]
It is a poor stance to take to demand that India and China have the same emissions targets that Canada and the USA have - after all, we DID develop our economies on tha back of the global climate, and now it is our time to reduce [or at least stabilise] our GG emissions.
[where do these negative nellies at DeSmog come from? Are you trolls?]
Trade is already grossly unfair with China. The second largest economy in the world with 10%/year GDP growth can most certainly afford to participate in global warming prevention. If saving the planet is really what CO2 reduction is about, then EVERYONE needs to participate NOW, and that includes India. It's also sad that people forget about the phenomenal environmental damage being done in China in terms of water and air pollution while western countries struggle to compete in manufacturing against them.
Your example of Africa is beyond ridiculous. Too many African nations have phenomenal corruption that would never allow them to participate effectively in CO2 reduction either way. They can't even feed their own people!

Mahalo, the human-edited search engine founded by Jason Calacanis, is asking for part time guides to help produce its search results.
The search engine, which launched in alpha last month, aims to better Google's by having a team of editors filter out spam and irrelevant content and handcraft its results.
Mahalo currently has 4,000 search terms covered, and says its team of 40 editors are currently producing 500 new search terms a week, with the target being 10,000 results.
To speed up the process, Calacanis is offering to pay between $10 and $15 for each search result that is added to Mahalo. He is looking for part time guides with experience of Wikipedia and other social media sites.
Calacanis announced the news at the New Media Knowledge Forum yesterday, where he also had a few words to say about what he called the "absurdity" that is SEO.
He told the forum:
"A company could spend $10,000 making its site more visible to search engines, and making it work better for machines. But wouldn't it be better to spend $10,000 on making that website better for people? SEO is a complete waste of time - just snake oil salesmen in cheap suits."

Falafel (Middle Eastern Taco)An interesting diversion from the usual "taco" we all know and love.
Rinse the garbanzos thoroughly, and soak in 4 cups of water overnight.(This cuts cooking time by 30 minutes). Cover and simmer about 3 hours, until the beans are quite tender.
Mash the beans coarsely, and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and let stand at least 1/2 hour at room temperature. Just before you are ready to eat, pour the olive oil into a large skillet; heat to medium-high. Add the garbanzo mixture and cook until very hot. Steam the pocket bread lightly, or warm it in the oven until soft and warm. Cut each piece in half, and with about 1/4 cup of the hot bean mixture. Garnish with lettuce, sprouts, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, and top with yogurt or sour cream. Makes 6 servings. |

Customer Reviews
Needs Update
Running on ios 6.1.5 on a 4th generation iPod touch. Runs a little slow, could use some performance enhancements & stability. Also runs slow when your in a mission & you earn an achievement it kinda runs a bit slow causing the game to lag. It lags potential as of right now, not showing certain things like arrows in boss battles to dodge attacks making it almost impossible to progress through the game. Could use some bug fixes with the gamecenter achievement intergration when you go to view the achievements have it load in landscape mode rather than portrait & maybe add some new suits to the inventory like batman begins or the dark knight suit.
It's better than I expected.
When I first started playing I was let down by how little you can do in this game compared to the console version of Arkham City but I had to remember that this is a game for a phone. Anyway I stuck with it then realized that there is a lot more to this game than I thought. It's challenging and it's fun plus it offers more than what I would figure the phone version of this game could offer. I haven't played it all the way through yet but from judging it so far I give it 4 stars.
Ok but needs update
Not the best game ever but it's ok. If you play it for a while up can finish it. I played it in less then an hour and I still finished. Ok game but needs longer playing time. If I were you, I would buy "The Dark Knight Rises". It's a dollar more but it has better graphics and a longer game. Please buy that game, you won't be sorry.

nice inlay...poor design
Par Marnie
de New Brunswick
I returned this watch with great hesitation. The inlay of ammolite was beautiful with lots of blue and violet colours. The watch itself seemed out of balance somehow. I found the square shape too large and the watch band seemed too narrow in comparison. Not a winner design wise, in my oppinion, but the inlay was outstanding.

Ken with Korite said the watches were their finest quaily of the line and he tucked some away for future gifts. I ordered one for my nephew's upcoming wedding. Well, those mosaic ammolite was too much red. The watch does not worth that much.
Super watch!

Love it!!!
Love this watch!
Par Pincher Creek born.
de Victoria, BC
I can see where it might not be for everyone, but I love it. The comment about the Roman numeral 4 was interesting as I have another watch as well as a clock with the same design. Ammolite is as unique as the area it is mined. I love the colours and have no problem seeing the blue. Korite stand behind their products. I know this from experience. I really cannot say enough about the watch. I feel privileged to own one.
A lover of ammolite
Par GEMGRAMMA
de MILLARVILLE, AB
This watch has ammolite on it which is a plus. But I can't find the blue that was supposed to be in every watch. I also find it very large for my wrist, however it is comfortable for me to wear. I am keeping the watch to add to my ammolite collection, but it hasn't charmed me the way all the rest of my ammolite has done at first sight.
Lovely watch
The watch is exactly as described on tv and online. I decided to keep it as it is an addition to my ammolite collection, but I find it almost too big. The blue does not flash much and I was a little disappointed with that. I appreciated the time and effort that went into making the mosaic. Hope it keeps good time for a long time!
Beautiful watch !
Par Jackie
de CALGARY
I gave this to my husband for our 28th anniversary , he's a very fussy guy when it comes to watches and low and behold he really liked it ! He of course always googles watches and owns some very very expensive watches . He was quite impressed by the make of this watch .he read where one review said that the four on the face wasn't supposed to be IIII but then we got one of his very expensive watches out and compared the two of them and the four was exactly the same ! We like this watch ,the quality is good .
Beautiful Watch
Par Goldie

I just love my new watch. The ammolite is just beautiful. The large dial makes it so easy to read.Every time I have worn it I have had many compliments on it.
Par Ginger

Purchased this as the ShowStopper and fell in love. The large dial makes reading the time easy and it's beautiful to look at

A pleasant surprise!
Par Diamond Di
de Grimsby, On
I was trying to decide whether to keep this watch as it's an investment, and after wearing it a few times and not receiving any comments, I was doubting my decision. But while wearing it in a restaurant in Toronto, a woman crossed the room and asked "Is that Ammolite in your watch?! It's gorgeous! I hope you don't leave before my sister can see it!". Well her sister was very impressed with it to! They were very knowledgeable about ammolite. I teased her that if I'd worn my ring, which is an east/west version of today's showstopper, she might have fainted.
