Handy chart to distinguish AGW caused cold from regular cold: Learning To Distinguish Different Types Of Cold
Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground and now of the Weather Company (formerly known as The Weather Channel) says that this winter's cold and snow is due to global warming. It is important that we learn to distinguish between natural cold, global cooling cold, and global warming cold. The chart above makes the distinctions 'abundantly clear.'

The global energy outlook has changed radically in just six years. President Obama was elected in 2008 by voters who believed we were running out of oil and gas, that climate change needed to be halted, and that renewables were the energy source of the near future. But an unexpected transformation of energy markets and politics may instead make 2014 the year of peak renewables.
In December of 2007, former Vice President Al Gore shared the Nobel Peace Prize for work on man-made climate change, leading an international crusade to halt global warming. In June, 2008 after securing a majority of primary delegates, candidate Barack Obama stated, "...this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal..." Climate activists looked to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference as the next major step to control greenhouse gas emissions.
The price of crude oil hit $145 per barrel in June, 2008. The International Energy Agency and other organizations declared that we were at peak oil, forecasting a decline in global production. Many claimed that the world was running out of hydrocarbon energy.
Driven by the twin demons of global warming and peak oil, world governments clamored to support renewables. Twenty years of subsidies, tax-breaks, feed-in tariffs, and mandates resulted in an explosion of renewable energy installations. The Renewable Energy Index (RENIXX) of the world's 30 top renewable energy companies soared to over 1,800.
Tens of thousands of wind turbine towers were installed, totaling more than 200,000 windmills worldwide by the end of 2012. Germany led the world with more than one million rooftop solar installations. Forty percent of the US corn crop was converted to ethanol vehicle fuel.
But at the same time, an unexpected energy revolution was underway. Using good old Yankee ingenuity, the US oil and gas industry discovered how to produce oil and natural gas from shale. With hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, vast quantities of hydrocarbon resources became available from shale fields in Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania.
From 2008 to 2013, US petroleum production soared 50 percent. US natural gas production rose 34 percent from a 2005 low. Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, and more than ten nations in Europe began issuing permits for hydraulic fracturing. The dragon of peak oil and gas was slain.
In 2009, the ideology of Climatism, the belief that humans were causing dangerous global warming, came under serious attack. In November, emails were released from top climate scientists at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, an incident christened Climategate. The communications showed bias, manipulation of data, avoidance of freedom of information requests, and efforts to subvert the peer-review process, all to further the cause of man-made climate change.
One month later, the Copenhagen Climate Conference failed to agree on a successor climate treaty to the Kyoto Protocol. Failures at United Nations conferences at Cancun (2010), Durban (2011), Doha (2012), and Warsaw (2013) followed. Canada, Japan, Russia, and the United States announced that they would not participate in an extension of the Kyoto Protocol.
Major climate legislation faltered across the world. Cap and trade failed in Congress in 2009, with growing opposition from the Republican Party. The price of carbon permits in the European Emissions Trading System crashed in April 2013 when the European Union voted not to support the permit price. Australia elected Prime Minister Tony Abbott in the fall of 2013 on a platform of scrapping the nation's carbon tax.
Europeans discovered that subsidy support for renewables was unsustainable. Subsidy obligations soared in Germany to over $140 billion and in Spain to over $34 billion by 2013. Renewable subsidies produced the world's highest electricity rates in Denmark and Germany. Electricity and natural gas prices in Europe rose to double those of the United States.
Worried about bloated budgets, declining industrial competitiveness, and citizen backlash, European nations have been retreating from green energy for the last four years. Spain slashed solar subsidies in 2009 and photovoltaic sales fell 80 percent in a single year. Germany cut subsidies in 2011 and 2012 and the number of jobs in the German solar industry dropped by 50 percent. Renewable subsidy cuts in the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom added to the cascade. The RENIXX Renewable Energy Index fell below 200 in 2012, down 90 percent from the 2008 peak.
Once a climate change leader, Germany turned to coal after the 2012 decision to close nuclear power plants. Coal now provides more than 50 percent of Germany's electricity and 23 new coal-fired power plants are planned. Global energy from coal has grown by 4.4 percent per year over the last ten years.
Spending on renewables is in decline. From a record $318 billion in 2011, world renewable energy spending fell to $280 billion in 2012 and then fell again to $254 billion in 2013, according to Bloomberg. The biggest drop occurred in Europe, where investment plummeted 41 percent last year. The 2013 expiration of the US Production Tax Credit for wind energy will continue the downward momentum.
Today, wind and solar provide less than one percent of global energy. While these sources will continue to grow, it's likely they will deliver only a tiny amount of the world's energy for decades to come. Renewable energy output may have peaked, at least as a percentage of global energy production.

American taxpayers foot the bill for the Environmental Protection Agency's costly regulations, and they have a right to see the underlying science. EPA bureaucrats routinely hide this public information, insolently foreshadowing President Obama's recently outed code of ethics, "I can do anything I want."
As Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, bluntly forced the issue, "Virtually every regulation proposed by the Obama administration has been justified by nontransparent data and unverifiable claims."
"Nontransparent data and unverifiable claims"? Translated from scientese, it's like this: If you're a good scientist, you make an exact, detailed description of how you did your study or research so anybody else can follow your description and get the same result.
If you won't tell anybody how you did it, your work is not "transparent".
If you do tell and nobody else can get the same result you got, your science is junk, or not "reproducible" - not verifiable.
Face it, EPA science is junk science and they're hiding that fact.
Smith is in a position to do something about Obama's scofflaws: he's chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, where his panel this Tuesday held a hearing on "Ensuring Open Science at EPA."
It was the launching pad for the Secret Science Reform Act of 2014, a bill to bar the EPA from proposing regulations based upon science that is not transparent or not reproducible.
That sent shockwaves through Big Green, which has a vested interest in hiding outdated, biased, falsified, sweetheart-reviewed, and even non-existent "science" that has destroyed the lives of thousands in the death-grip of agenda-driven EPA rules.
Environment Subcommittee Chairman Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., gaveled the hearing to order. "For far too long," he said, "the EPA has approved regulations that have placed a crippling financial burden on economic growth in this country with no public evidence to justify their actions."
The average American would probably ask why the EPA is such a problem. The first witness told why: John D. Graham, a dean at Indiana University and former administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, has years of experience telling good science from junk.
Graham surprisingly said that EPA science standards are "quite high" because lives depend upon proper rules to protect us from the harmful effects of pollution while avoiding data errors that can unjustly destroy whole sectors of America's economy.
EPA isn't living up to its standards. Why not?
EPA's downfall is its poorly developed science culture, said Graham. "In my experience working with EPA, I have found that the political, legal and engineering cultures are fairly strong but the cultures of science and economics are highly variable ... First-rate scientists who are interested in public service employment might be more inclined to launch a career at the National Academy of Sciences" or elsewhere.
Most damning, Graham cited a decade of National Science Foundation reports documenting the bad quality, transparency and reproducibility of EPA's scientific determinations.
Dr. Louis "Tony" Cox, chief sciences officer at Nexthealth Technologies, needs access to sound data for his work on health risk assessment, but he's more than alarmed at the state of EPA science. Cox sees "catastrophic failure in the reproducibility and trustworthiness of scientific results."
Even science editors complain that many published research articles are false and even peer-reviewed results are not reproducible.
EPA demands sensational reports, true or not, and isn't checking scientists' work.
In short, we need junk sniffers.
Raymond J. Keating, chief economist of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, who testified for the Center for Regulatory Solutions, provided one of the hearing's big shockers: "The annual cost of federal regulations registered $1.75 trillion in 2008."
A highly credentialed witness, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Professor Ellen Silbergeld, picked the Secret Science Reform bill apart. She hit two points: lack of protection for patient information privacy in EPA health studies, and a requirement for everyone but industry to reveal their data.
In rebuttal of both points, Graham noted that the National Academy of Sciences is now focusing not on whether patient data is to be shared, but how to do it while protecting privacy; and the Secret Science Reform bill requires all EPA science, regardless of source or funding, to have open data, including industry.
Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., asked of the witness panel, "Do any of you disagree with the principle that in [the] case of taxpayer-funded research or studies, the public should have access to the underlying data?" Silbergeld responded, "As stated in my testimony, for reasons given, I disagree with that - respectfully."
EPA is basing major regulatory decisions on junk and inviting a rebellion by doing it.
Taxpayers must become America's army of junk science sniffers and ruthlessly axe the EPA's heart rot - respectfully, of course.
RON ARNOLD, a Washington Examiner columnist, is executive vice president of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise.
A coalition of House Republicans have introduced a bill that would require the Environmental Protection Agency to publicly release all research related to a policy before implementing it. The Secret Science Reform Act of 2014 is meant to allow independent scientists to verify the data behind environmental regulations, creating more accountability for the agency. It's also a way for the agency's opponents to create more barriers to regulation and attempt to discredit environmental policies.
"Virtually every regulation proposed by the Obama administration has been justified by nontransparent data and unverifiable claims," writes House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX), who is also a sponsor of the bill. "The American people foot the bill for EPA's costly regulations, and they have a right to see the underlying science."
The bill is short, but it's also fairly broad. Before proposing or finalizing any regulation, hazard assessment, standard, or piece of guidance, the EPA must "specifically identify" each piece of scientific or technical information that it's relying on, then make that data public in a way that lets outsiders independently analyze and attempt to reproduce the results. That technical information includes not only data points but analysis and "detailed descriptions" of how to access and use the information. Obama has already told agencies to make any federally funded research freely available to the public, and it's not clear how dramatically this would change current practice; the EPA did not immediately return a request for comment.
Obama's EPA has made mitigating and preparing for climate change a priority, and it's done so in part by placing new regulations on things like coal plants. This hasn't sat well with Congress members who are both opposed to environmental regulation generally and dubious that climate change even exists or is caused by humans. Though it's not raised explicitly in the bill, Smith has expressed skepticism over the issue, and his fellow chair and co-sponsor David Schweikert (R-AZ) says his bill is necessary to stop the EPA from making policy based on "the whims of far-left environmental groups." The agency, he says, has created regulations that "placed a crippling financial burden on economic growth in this country with no public evidence to justify their actions."
The EPA's own IG scolded them for not following the requirements of the Information Quality Act that requires all agencies to do their own analysis and publish the information in support of all actions taken. The EPA has been on a regulatory rampage based on bad science done by far left environmental groups that does not survive scrutiny. All the models the EPA use have failed miserably. They should be defunded and defanged. Oh and tell Hollywood to make movies not promote policy about things you know precious little about. Nothing makes me madder than to see billions go to the useless UN and the environmental groups. Instead of helping mankind, they want to strip the world of its current energy sources, push wind power that kills 600,000 to 900,000 birds including many endangered and protected species, and endangers the health and safety of people anywhere near these monstrosities. They cause energy prices to skyrocket and threaten brownouts and blackouts and drive industry away and unemployment up. I talked to a missionary from India today how there are real problems in the world, high among them is finding fresh water to drink and power to provide light and energy for refrigeration and heating. The environmental movement actually resists these efforts. Some of the key puppetmasters believe there are too many people in the world. Wacky Ted Turner says the world really can only sustain 250 to 500 million (there are 7.1 billion). Bonnie Prince Charles is in his camp and a long list of others including some in the Obama administration. Actually you could take all 7.1 billion people and put them side by side and they would fit in Rhode Island.
Charitable organizations do far more good than the UN and swimming in money environmental groups. $500 can provide a fresh water supply to a village, $2500 home for a family. These charitable groups make the most of every penny. Please stop providing any aid to the NGOs and work with the local charities if you care about the world's poor. And contact you congress man or women and tell them to support reins on the EPA if you care about the future of our own poor and middle class.
Lord Christopher Monckton
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales,
Clarence House, London.
Candlemas, 2014
Your Royal Highness' recent remarks describing those who have scientific and economic reason to question the Establishment opinion on climatic apocalypse in uncomplimentary and unroyal terms as "headless chickens" mark the end of our constitutional monarchy and a return to the direct involvement of the Royal Family, in the Person of our future king, no less, in the cut and thrust of partisan politics.
Now that Your Royal Highness has offered Your Person as fair game in the shootout of politics, I am at last free to offer two options. I need no longer hold back, as so many have held back, as Your Royal Highness' interventions in politics have become more frequent and less acceptable in their manner as well as in their matter.
Option 1. Your Royal Highness will renounce the Throne forthwith and for aye. Those remarks were rankly party-political and were calculated to offend those who still believe, as Your Royal Highness plainly does not, that the United Kingdom should be and remain a free country, where any subject of Her Majesty may study science and economics, may draw his conclusions from his research and may publish the results, however uncongenial the results may be.
The line has been crossed. No one who has intervened thus intemperately in politics may legitimately occupy the Throne. Your Royal Highness' arrogant and derogatory dismissiveness towards the near-50 percent of your subjects who no longer follow the New Religion is tantamount to premature abdication. Goodnight, sweet prince. No more "Your Royal Highness."
Hi, there, Chazza! You are a commoner now, just like most of Her Majesty's subjects. You will find us a cheerfully undeferential lot. Most of us don't live in palaces, and none of us goes everywhere with his own personalized set of monogrammed white leather lavatory seat covers.
The United Kingdom Independence Party, which until recently I had the honor to represent in Scotland, considers - on the best scientific and economic evidence - that the profiteers of doom are unjustifiably enriching themselves at our expense.
For instance, even the unspeakable Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has accepted advice from me and my fellow expert reviewers that reliance upon ill-constructed and defective computer models to predict climate was a mistake. Between the pre-final and final drafts of the "Fifth Assessment Report," published late last year, the Panel ditched the models and substituted its own "expert assessment" that in the next 30 years the rate of warming will be half what the models predict.
In fact, the dithering old fossils in white lab coats with leaky Biros sticking out of the front pocket now think the rate of warming over the next 30 years could be less than in the past 30 years, notwithstanding an undiminished increase in the atmospheric concentration of plant food. Next time you talk to the plants, ask them whether they would like more CO2 in the air they breathe. Their answer will be Yes.
The learned journals of economics are near-unanimous in saying it is 10-100 times costlier to mitigate global warming today than to adapt to its supposedly adverse consequences the day after tomorrow.
Besides, in the realm that might have been yours there has been no change none at all in mean surface temperature for 25 full years. So if you are tempted to blame last year's cold winter (which killed 31,000 before their time) or this year's floods (partly caused by the Environment Agency's mad policy of returning dozens of square miles of the Somerset Levels to the sea) on global warming, don't.
You got your science and economics wrong. And you were rude as well. And you took sides in politics. Constitutionally, that's a no no. Thronewise, mate, you've blown it.
On the other hand, we Brits are sport-mad. So here is option 2. I am going to give you a sporting second chance, Charlie, baby.
You see, squire, you are no longer above politics. You've toppled off your gilded perch and now you're in it up to your once-regal neck. So, to get you used to the idea of debating on equal terms with your fellow countrymen, I'm going to give you a once-in-a-reign opportunity to win back your Throne in a debate about the climate. The motion: "Global warming is a global crisis." You say it is. I say it isn't.
We'll hold the debate at the Cambridge Union, for Cambridge is your alma mater and mine. You get to pick two supporting speakers and so do I. We can use PowerPoint graphs. The Grand Debate will be televised internationally over two commercial hours. We let the world vote by phone, before and after the debate. If the vote swings your way, you keep your Throne. Otherwise, see you down the pub.
Cheers, mate!

COPENHAGEN, Denmark: It wasn't supposed to happen: a ship full of scientists and environmentalists sent to the Antarctic to find melting ice from global warming got stuck in frozen ice from fearsome cold.
Then, the rescue ship got stuck in the ice, too.
Critics liken the incident to the climate change movement itself: stuck in denial over the fact that the climate is not getting warmer but seems to be getting much colder.
The climate is changing, but it's not changing the way climate change crowd predicted it would. Nature has made a mockery of global warming, so who are the real climate deniers?
Ice is not only growing in the South Pole, but in parts of the North Pole, too. And the coldest arctic temperatures in decades have descended upon North America.
But that didn't stop Greenpeace from trying to scare children last month with a video of a sweaty, beleaguered Santa Claus threatening to call off Christmas because the North Pole is melting.
Global Cooling
The fact that Arctic ice is growing may not be the good news that it seems to be. There are signs that the Earth is entering a very unpleasant cooling period. Sunspot activity remains very low.
"The sun has been very unusual for almost 15 years now," Jens Pedersen, senior scientist at the Denmark's Technical University, said.
Pedersen said the sun recently reached solar maximum and that there should be a lot of sunspot activity, but there isn't.
"We have to go back 100 years to find a solar maximum that was as weak as the one we are in right now," he told CBN News. "And the recent solar minimum...one has to go back 200 years to find one that was as weak."
The last time the sun was this quiet, North America and Europe suffered through a weather event from the 1600s to the 1800s known as "Little Ice Age," when the Thames River in London regularly froze solid, and North America saw terrible winters. Crops failed and people starved.
Hiding the Evidence
Pedersen said climate scientists know the Earth stopped warming 15 years ago. But the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, of which Pedersen is an expert reviewer, suppressed a recent report from its own scientists that the U.N.'s climate model has been proven wrong.
"In particular one of the issues has been why global warming has stopped during the last 15 years, and climate scientists were very frank that the climate models do not match the climate we observe," Pedersen said.
But politicians removed that embarrassing finding from the final draft. It's as if the alleged danger from climate change can't be wrong because it is now too important.
It has become a political movement, a cash cow for climate scientists and environmental groups, and a way for world leaders to control economies and people.
"It's a political agenda," Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture at the Media Research Center, said. "When you look at what the government will be able to do with climate change, it gives them (access) into every aspect of our lives."
A Case of Climatism
Steve Goreham, author of The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, calls it "climatism."
"It's an ideology and it's a belief that man-made greenhouse gases are destroying Earth's climate," Goreham explained. "But it has become a path for global change across the world for adopting green economies and electric cars and putting wind turbines everywhere and changing light bulbs."
And it doesn't matter how much the climate change prophets of doom get it wrong. Global warming advocate Al Gore claimed all the ice in the Arctic would be melted by now. but it's growing.
Others predicted a shrinking food supply and flooded coastlines. Hurricane Sandy and Typhoon Haiyan are said to be the result of climate change. But that ignores the fact that worse tropical cyclones occurred in the 1960s.
Nevertheless, the climate change agenda is moving forward. The world is already spending at least $250 billion a year on it, and environmentalists want more. Activists are demanding what they call "climate justice" from developed nations.
"What they really want to do is dump trillions into it, somewhere between one and three percent of global GDP," Gainor said.
Throwing the Poor Under the Bus?
Climate change skeptics have been censored and compared to Holocaust deniers and even child molesters. But forgotten in all the effort to save the world from warming is the effect on the world's poor.
Goreham said more than a billion people do not have access to electricity, and almost as many struggle with unreliable power. Cheap electricity from coal could be a savior for the world's poor.
But the world's wealthy nations don't want them to have it, all in the name of saving the planet from a crisis that mounting evidence suggests is non-existent.
James Taylor
Global warming alarmists are defying the "settled science" of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with alarmists now claiming global warming causes more frequent and severe cold spells. The alarmists' claim, presented while the nation is being pummeled by historically cold weather, may give them short-term public relations exposure for their mythical global warming crisis, but it completely contradicts the latest IPCC report that alarmists claim is indisputable settled science.
Faced with the embarrassment of historic cold walloping most of the nation, global warming alarmists now claim cold temperatures prove a global warming crisis. The Christian Science Monitor, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, and Time magazine are just a few of the media outlets blaming global warming for the cold temperatures. According to the media reports, global warming causes more frequent and severe winter cold spells, like the one presently gripping the nation. The media stories trot out and quote the usual band of prominent alarmists to support their alarmist storyline.
Nevertheless, these are the same media outlets and global warming activists who repeatedly tell us the IPCC represents settled science compiled in near unanimity by all the world's most expert scientists. So what does the latest IPCC report say about severe cold spells?
In IPCC's Working Group II: Impacts, Adaption and Vulnerability, we are told there will be "warmer winters and fewer cold spells, because of climate change."
Somebody please get the global warming alarmists to hole up in a room somewhere, debate each other about whether global warming causes more or less severe cold spells, and then let us know when they have a consistent answer.
Michael Bastasch, Daily Caller
A group of climate scientists and economists are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other stationary sources.
These critics see a "massive seizure of power" by the agency.
The scientists and economists, including the former chair of the EPA's Science Advisory Committee, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, arguing that the agency does not have the authority to permit greenhouse gases from stationary sources. According to the group, such a permitting scheme is a "naked power grab of the most cynical sort."
"There is no avoiding that this rule is a massive seizure of power, indeed likely far and away the largest seizure of power by any government agency ever," reads the amicus brief.
"Under the guise of a technical statutory interpretation, the EPA now asserts it has a central role for itself to control and dictate all aspects of our lives under an over 30-year-old statutory provision never previously thought remotely to cover this subject matter," the brief continues.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments from the EPA and some states and energy companies in February regarding the agency's greenhouse gas permitting system. The central question of the case is, whether or not the EPA's authority to regulate emissions from cars and trucks gives the agency the authority to set standards for stationary facilities, like power plants and refineries.
The EPA argues that it has the authority to permit stationary sources, but petitioners say that such a permitting scheme would be unworkable since greenhouse gases stem from global emissions and can't be controlled by limiting U.S. emissions alone.
The high court's decision will have huge implications for the energy sector and for the economies of coal states. Given that, several Republican lawmakers have injected themselves into this case, arguing that the court should rule against the EPA.
"The EPA continually attempts to sidestep Congress and expand its role in advancing a partisan political agenda," said Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith. "The Obama administration continues to overstep its constitutional authority as it attempts to enact job-killing regulations."
Smith was joined by Kentucky's Republican congressional delegation in filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on Monday. This includes Kentucky Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, as well as Republican Reps. Andy Barr, Brett Guthrie, Thomas Massie, Hal Rogers and Ed Whitfield.
The lawmakers argue that the EPA has effectively usurped Congress's authority to write the laws by moving to regulate greenhouse gases - which was done under the Obama administration.
"Our Constitution reserves the power to enact, amend, or repeal statutes to Congress alone," reads the lawmakers' brief.
"The power asserted by the EPA here infringes on the constitutional prerogatives of Congress, undermines government accountability, and threatens liberty," the brief says.
The greenhouse gas permitting scheme is a key component of President Obama's plan to tackle global warming. It would allow the administration to fore more coal plants offline to reduce U.S. carbon emissions, which some scientists say cause global warming.

This thread outlines my build of my Side By Side Kegerator and Fermentation Chamber. First off thanks to Forbein11 (Link) his build inspired me and I just took the build a little further. Originally I used his schematics and Love TSS2 settings and duplicated his results, but I was not able to get the right side any lower than mid 40s. Forbien11 installed his controller in the side and it does make for a nice clean setup when you have the door open, but I choose to install the controller in the door so that it is easily seen every time I pass by.
That fridge looks better then the one in my kitchen! Nice work..
Got some work done today. I trimed out the door so that I could fit all three kegs in the left side, plumed in the co2 lines and fixed them in place, and insulated the door with expanding foam. The last thing to do is get the fittings to finish up the beer lines, add a second regulator so that I can pressurize and serve at the same time and tiddy up the wiring on the right side.
This is looking into the space that use to be where the ice would come through the door.
Very cool! How many buckets/carboys can you fit in the fermentation side? just one or can you build a shelf and stick two in?
I haven't check the right side for fermenting vessel fit but I would say 2 carboys/buckets no problem and with some custom shelving you could probably fit 3. I would say that 4 corny kegs can fit, so if you haven't started using them to ferment in this would be a good time to start.
I have decided to add a pc fan in place of the damper in the fridge side. Can someone help with the programming so I can get sp1 to control the compressor and sp2 to control the pc fan?
Update to this build. I could not get the right side (refrigerator side) to cool lower than mid 40s so I have bypassed the adaptive defrost board and have the Love TSS2 controlling the compressor and fan on one switch (SP1) and a 120 VAC pc fan on the other switch (SP2). In this setup I now believe I can equalize the two sides and get the same temp in both zones. If this works I can keep my kegs on tap on the left (SP1) and lager on the right, cold crash, ferment ales, or store extra groceries. Here are a few pics of the pc fan installed in the separating wall and tomorrow I will install a dryer vent to help keep the right side SP2 at the set temperature.
Everything seems to be working just fine. I can equalize the temps or adjust he two compartments to separate temps. I haven't checked what the max temperature differential is between the two but I have had the left set at 37 F and the right at 60 F, so as you can see the differential can be pretty damn high. I will keep this thread updated and upload a wiring schematic and love tss2 settings once I'm confident that it's "done".
Nice work. How difficult was it to cut out the ice dispenser assembly? Any tips on the expanding foam? I have a set up similar to this and currently only have two corny kegs on the freezer dispensing side. I think I could get four corny kegs in there if I could trim the door molding and remove the ice dispenser.
On mine, I also installed a 120v PC fan. I have it mounted approximately four inches away from the vent in the center wall and am able to keep the freezer at 40F while getting the refrigerator side down to 55F (not bad considering my garage has been as hot as 120F this summer. I'm wondering if enlarging the vent so that the fan is mounted in the center wall like you have done would enable lower temps.
Are you able to get both sides down to 40F at the same time?
Do you have any difficulty keeping the refrigerator side up to 65F while the freezer is at 40F?
Again - nice job!
Cutting out the ice/water dispenser was not too difficult, I just used a small cut off wheel and trimmed the plastic covering on the inside so that the door would be flush in that area. Initially I was going to take out the entire plastic door panel and replace it with dryerase board or plastic but I decided to keep the factory shelves othe door so that I had extra space for mugs, bottles or brewing supplies. I can easily get 3 cornies ithe freezer side without changing the factory shelving but I might weld or build something out of wood to get a fourth in there.
The PC fan is installed directly in the wall and the output side is almost the size of the entire fan so I can exchange a large volume of air and get the right side temps down fairly low. If you look at the design of the right side and how air is exchanged you may not have a good flow if you have the original two exchange holes and another for the pc fan, that's why I installed my fan directly in place of the damper exchange. I also have the fridge wired so that the evaporator fan kicks in with the pc fan, this should create a good flow of warmer air from the right side to come up through the bottom of the right side and be chilled as it moves up and back out the top.
Before installing the fan I couldnt get the right below about 52 F and without a warming source I couldnt get it but a few degrees warmer than the set temp. Right now I have a lager fermenting in the right side so I haven't played with the temps much more but initially I had the left at 38 F and the right at 65 F with no problem. Currenlty I have the left at 38 and the right at 48 with a lager fermenting. Oh and by the way I would guess that my garage is routinely 120 F.
I had planned on installing a louvered dryer vent flush with the fan to prevent air from exchanging on it's own but it seems to be working as is so im not really that concerned with doing this quite yet.
I hope that answered all your questions. I am really confident in how this is working and if anyone needs help, feel free to ask.

Pets becoming deal-breakers for more rentersApril 30, 2013 @ 7:24 am
Seventy-five percent of renters say they own pets, yet many are not able to find enough pet-friendly rental options, a new survey of 1,100 renters by Apartments.com shows.
Last year, only 43 percent of renters said they owned pets.
More than 60 percent of survey respondents say they've struggled to find pet-friendly rental options. Those who were able to find pet-friendly options said they had to pay a one-time pet deposit or pricey monthly fees.
"Clearly, pets are a deal-breaker for many, and apartment buildings with more flexible pet policies will be the ones to attract this growing group of pet-owning renters-and possibly keep them for a longer period of time," said Tammy Kotula, a spokesperson for Apartments.com.
"Nearly all pet owners surveyed said pet policies play a major role in their decision of where to live."

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Clark County coroner says a 32-year-old man
killed by Las Vegas police on July 1 was shot in the back.
Police have said Detective Jeremy Hendricks opened fire after John Paul Hambleton ran away and scuffled with plainclothes detectives investigating a sexual assault case involving a girl under the age of 14.
Coroner Mike Murphy ruled Hambleton's death a homicide and scheduled an Aug. 14 inquest to determine if the death was justified, excusable or criminal.
The coroner says an initial report that Hambleton died of a gunshot wound to the chest was a "clerical error."
Hendricks is an 11-year police veteran. He's on paid leave pending results of a departmental review and the inquest.

Flowers' two home runs power White Sox past Twins, 6-3Colleen Kane, Chicago Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS -- White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers hit two home runs in a game for the first time in his career to push the Sox to a 6-3 victory over the Twins in 10 innings in the opener of a two-game series at Target Field.
With the game tied at 3-3 through nine innings, Dayan Viciedo hit a solo home run to right-center field to lead off the 10th and give the Sox the lead. Flowers followed a Paul Konerko single with a two-run shot just inside the right-field pole.
At the plate
Flowers has hit three homers in the last three games. His first Tuesday fueled the Sox's three-run second inning against starter Tommy Milone.
On the mound
After allowing three runs over the first two innings, Sox right-hander Hector Noesi settled down to pitch five more scoreless innings, helped by some bad Twins base-running. He lasted seven innings for the third straight game, allowing three runs on nine hits, walking none and striking out five.
In the field
In his first Sox start in left field, Michael Taylor couldn't make a tough play when Danny Santana's RBI double sailed just over his glove in the second inning for a 3-3 tie.
The number
1: Career ejection for center fielder Adam Eaton, who was ejected after his sixth-inning at-bat, when he was called out on strikes.
The quote
Third baseman Marcus Semien on his demotion earlier this season: "I really had to deal with failure a lot. I tried to work my way out of it as best I could, and started swinging the bat a little better as the year went on."

Shipped to over one million happy customers. Your purchase benefits world literacy! From the Publisher Simon Agranat (1906-1992) was the third chief justice of the Israeli Supreme Court and a founding father of Israeli law. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, and educated at the University of Chicago, Agranat brought U.S. progressivism and constitutionalism to Israeli legal soil. Agranat laid the foundation for Israel''s bill of rights and took part in nearly every important Israeli legal and political issue of this century. Pnina Lahav''s rewarding study of Simon Agranat portrays Israeli history through the lens of judicial opinions. It is based on her extensive interviews with the justice before his death and a close examination of his papers. A major theme in her book is the relationship between Agranat''s world view and landmark Israeli Supreme Court opinions, and she tells the compelling story of a visionary jurist and an American pursuing his Zionist dream in Palestine. Here, too, is an illuminating view of Israeli history and legal culture that includes the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Holocaust, the symbiosis between religion and the Jewish state, and the tensions within Zionism itself. Lahav also details the thinking behind Agranat''s 1962 decision to convict Adolph Eichmann and the justice''s dissent in the "Who Is a Jew?" case in 1970.This is the first biography of the man who made both a geographical and a psychological journey from the United States to Jerusalem. In demonstrating the influences of one culture on another, Judgment in Jerusalem provides important insights into Israeli law and politics and into the complex processes that form a national identity.

Really, Exxon? Really?
Fans of "Saturday Night Live" may be familiar with the news anchors' segment "Really?"
The gag is that they make ridiculous statements based on ridiculous current events and then ask the scathing rhetorical question, "Really?"
In the Exxon Valdez case, it would go something like this: So you just got your court-awarded damages reduced to one-tenth of the original amount, and now you REALLY want to make sure you get to keep the interest you've accrued on funds that are not and never were rightly yours while your legal team kept the fishermen whose livelihoods you've ruined at arm's length? REALLY?
Is Scott Boras on the Exxon legal team?
If you're not a baseball fan (and I use that word in its original sense, because you would have to be a fanatic to follow Alex Rodriguez's contract negotiations), then you may not know that Boras was A-Rod's agent until recently. He's the one who got him the biggest deal in baseball history and then followed up with a hissy fit last year, which he pitched on the opening night of the Red Sox (read: A-Rod and the Yanks' biggest rivals) and Rockies World Series.
It was as if Boras couldn't stand to be out of the limelight, no matter how much it made him and his client look like complete jerks. (There are lots of words I would have preferred to use there, but I don't want your Internet filter to keep you from coming to our site.)
Sound familiar? Only in Boras' case, he was only taking money from Major League Baseball, where there's plenty to go around.
Meanwhile, the Exxon lawyers are doing their best to be the Anti-Robin Hoods.
The greed in professional sports is nauseating. Exxon's is downright sickening.
Cut the checks already.

Review of Robben Island (South Africa)
South Africa - A World of its own
Advantages: It is beautiful, lots of things to do and see, good tourist facilities for both families and travellers, this place is amazing all round!
Disadvantages: Some areas can be very dangerous - but then most countries do
...As the title suggests, South Africa is a place you probably never want to forget. In fact you won?t be able to forget it if you go there!!!!
If any of you readers are from South Africa or have been there and see something I have written wrongly or I have missed something out on this opinion, please tell me and I will gladly change it.
There are many things you should know before visiting...

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
Advantages: Gameplay, graphics, depth, ranking system
Disadvantages: Smaller nations less detailed
...With every World Cup there is a World Cup game and South Africa is no different. There's usually not much difference from that year earlier FIFA instalment, but enough minor changes to encourage people to buy it - me being one of them, for just under £40.
The start up of the game is typical of EA, very professional and stylish looking with well laid out menus and graphics. The actual game...

Top Cars For Teenagers
List Criteria: Vote on the car you think is a safe, affordable, practical first car for teenagers
Parents and teenagers may often differ on car choices, but with so many vehicle makes and models available, a compromise can be found. What are the best cars for teens? Teenagers are new to driving, so they're also at a higher risk for automotive incidents (aka crashing). Teenagers are also known for not having much money as well as moving to and from school. With that in mind, safety, affordability and practicality are all important. The automobiles on this list balance all three criteria. If you have any suggestions please feel free to add them to the list below!

Alone on a desert island
... I walked the length of the pleasant, wide, waterfront promenade to the nearby town of Caleta de Fuste, a.k.a. El Castillo, named for the small castle built in 1743 to repel pirate attacks.
For my last three days I rented a car, but before that, I went on an all-day bus tour around Fuerteventura. There were stops at an aloe vera facility, a goat farm, scenic lookouts and two towns with notable churches. It was informative and ...
Gran Tarajal, Fuerteventura
... the Braemar all the way from Cape Verde (very true).
We had a couple more drinks then went along to the Thistle Restaurant for the "last supper" with Mick and Jackie, Les and Gillian and Kevin and Val. Then we hotfooted it along to the Neptune Lounge for the show; we didn't think we'd have any luck getting in but we managed to get a good vantage point right at the back by sitting on a ledge. Tonight ...
Last port of call
... traders can't wait to pounce on you to sell their wares but here in Gran Tarajal we were greeted with a smile FREE!Almost half the Islands population live in Puerto del Rosario, the port town and is the Islands capital since 1860.Following Spain's departure from the Sahara in 1975, 5000 soldiers of the Foreign Legion were garrisoned here. Their quarters are still used ...
The southern tip of Fuerteventura
We are warmly welcomed at the hotel for our 5 night all inclusive stay. Our room is very spacious with an excellent balcony and sea views. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens.
We spend the next few days relaxing locally and travelling around the southern tip of Fuerteventura.
More to follow!
Two days to visit the central mountains area
We head south and travel through some scenic sand dine areas and then through some small roads over and through the mountains. There are numerous volcanoes and lava flows in a variety of colours and contrasts of texture. The small towns are very interesting too, particularly Betancuria which is very pretty with interesting buildings and colourful flowers.
In the evening ...

This is a wonderful time to be alive. If you love the Beatles, you can see them perform live. This cast of the Fab Four looked like, sang like and (note for note) played like the Beatles. They even had the Liverpool accents and made jokes and small talk from the stage in a manner that any Beatles fan would find reminiscent of the lads. They put on a remarkable show. Just like all good Jews make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Jerusalem, all true Beatles fans must see the Fab Four. And you could tell that the group were all enjoying themselves, enjoying each other, and enjoying the audiences excitement at the event.

If I closed my eyes I felt I was back in 1965 and 13 again. They played just as I remembered the Beatles hits. The Fab Four are great musicians I would love to see them again and again.

Australian Rugby Union Chief Executive Bill Pulver has outlined plans for Australia to host a tour match against the British & Irish Lions on the next Lions tour to New Zealand in 2017.
The British & Irish Lions have yet to finalise the schedule for the 2017 tour to New Zealand but Pulver is keen to secure a fixture on Australian soil as part of the tour.
The Lions started their 2013 tour of Australia with a fixture in Hong Kong against the Barbarians and Pulver has indicated that he would be keen to host the Lions if they chose to play any warm up games ahead of arriving on New Zealand soil.
"If they want preliminary games outside New Zealand then we would be a wonderful location for them. We would take it in a heartbeat. That's one of the conversations we've been having with them." Pulver said.
The idea is one of many being considered by the ARU to compensate for a lack of international rugby next season in the run up to the Rugby World Cup.
The Wallabies only have two tests scheduled for next summer with no Northern Hemisphere tours in June, and two possible fixtures against New Zealand and either South Africa or Argentina ahead of the World Cup.

MONDAY, Dec. 30, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Many phrases reflect how emotions affect the body: Loss makes you feel "heartbroken," you suffer from "butterflies" in the stomach when nervous, and disgusting things make you "sick to your stomach."
Now, a new study from Finland suggests connections between emotions and body parts may be standard across cultures.
The researchers coaxed Finnish, Swedish and Taiwanese participants into feeling various emotions and then asked them to link their feelings to body parts. They connected anger to the head, chest, arms and hands; disgust to the head, hands and lower chest; pride to the upper body; and love to the whole body except the legs. As for anxiety, participants heavily linked it to the mid-chest.
"The most surprising thing was the consistency of the ratings, both across individuals and across all the tested language groups and cultures," said study lead author Lauri Nummenmaa, an assistant professor of cognitive neuroscience at Finland's Aalto University School of Science.
However, one U.S. expert, Paul Zak, chairman of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University in California, was unimpressed by the findings. He discounted the study, saying it was weakly designed, failed to understand how emotions work and "doesn't prove a thing."
But for his part, Nummenmaa said the research is useful because it sheds light on how emotions and the body are interconnected.
"We wanted to understand how the body and the mind work together for generating emotions," Nummenmaa said. "By mapping the bodily changes associated with emotions, we also aimed to comprehend how different emotions such as disgust or sadness actually govern bodily functions."
For the study, published online Dec. 30 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers showed two silhouettes of bodies to about 700 people. Depending on the experiment, they tried to coax feelings out of the participants by showing them emotional words, stories, clips from movies and facial expressions. Then the participants colored the silhouettes to reflect the body areas they felt were becoming most or least active.
The idea was to not mention emotions directly to the participants but instead to make them "feel different emotions," Nummenmaa said.
The researchers noted that some of the emotions may cause activity in specific areas of the body. For example, most basic emotions were linked to sensations in the upper chest, which may have to do with breathing and heart rate. And people linked all the emotions to the head, suggesting a possible link to brain activity.
But Zak said the study failed to consider that people often feel more than one emotion at a time. Or that a person's own comprehension of emotion can be misleading since the "areas in the brain that process emotions tend to be largely outside of our conscious awareness," he said.
It would make more sense, Zak said, to directly measure activity in the body, such as sweat and temperature, to make sure people's perceptions have some basis in reality. Nummenmaa said he expects future research to go in that direction.
How might the current research be useful? Zak is skeptical that it could be, but the study lead author is hopeful.
"Many mental disorders are associated with altered functioning of the emotional system, so unraveling how emotions coordinate with the minds and bodies of healthy individuals is important for developing treatments for such disorders," Nummenmaa said.
Next, the researchers want to see if these emotion-body connections change in people who are anxious or depressed. "Also, we are interested in how children and adolescents experience their emotions in their bodies," Nummenmaa said.

Hi All
Been lurking here for a while, Always find this forum very helpful.
We are having a bit of a flash games epidemic in the classes at the moment. We recently changed our email system to be Gmail based, and are using Google docs for students to submit work etc. The kids have now figured out that this is a neat way of sharing large documents full of flash games. Obviously due to these being stored on Google servers we are having a hard time thinking of ways to control these, We can't block usage of flash files totally as IT lessons do a lot of flash based work,
Has anyone had a similar issue to this, and has anyone come up with any ingenious ways of blocking these? We have a list of the file names that we want to block as they are all being sent around in one particular document.
All we can do at the moment is scan and delete any .swf from students home directories. But they are back in there from the next day!
Any advice would be appreciated!

Those of us who teach know that the various cultural debates around multilingualism worm their ways into our classrooms. At the K-12 level especially, bi- and multilingual education have specific consequences for funding: the fear is that English Language Learners (ELLs) will lower schools' test scores, resulting in a punitive drop in already meager funding.
It was Sugaru of the Little Boy Clan who was the chancellor of the Emperor Yuryoku, as vital to him as his heart and liver. One day when when the Emperor was residing at Iware-no-Miya palace and was having sex there with his wife, Sugaru burst into the chamber and the Emperor, feeling shame, broke off his foreplay. At that moment they heard thunder and the Emperor told Sugaru: Go forth now and send a summons to the God of Thunder. Sugaru replied that he would go. The Emperor then proclaimed: Go forth and send a summons to the God of Thunder.
Multilingualism has long been a key characteristic, even a central tenet of literary experimentation. So maybe it seems a bit weird that after all these commentaries I still haven't found anything to say about the various streams of modernist literature that drew upon other languages. Why haven't I addressed T.S. Eliot's attempted reconstitution of the "mind of Europe"? What about Ezra Pound's (also attempted) translation of Chinese written characters? Or what about the less well known but no less multilingual Zurich Dada "nonsense" poems that drew upon anthropological works, using fragments and phrases from world Indigenous languages to inform their experiments in non-meaning?
Analyses of avant-garde or experimental poetry typically understand multilingualism as a part of the modernist dream of breaking with the past in order to prefigure an unforeseen but possible future.
The great Nicanor Parra turned one-hundred years old last September. Obviously, nobody has wanted to miss the opportunity to celebrate and honor the world-renowned anti-poet. Local and foreign media have been publishing extensive biographies, reviews, and special notes on Parra's life and work (some examples here, here, here, and here). Also different institutions in Chile have organized activities such as exhibitions and collective readings. The Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center (GAM) installed a photo exhibit labeled as his "first visual biography," organized an international seminar about anti-poetry, and launched the book "Nicanor Parra or the art of demolition" by the British poet and scholar, Niall Binns. The National Council for Culture and Arts organized a collective reading called "National Parra-phrase" where people were invited to simultaneously read the poem "The Imaginary Man" (watch a video here), and Diego Portales University put together a remarkable exhibition of his visual work, installations, and his famous "Artifacts."
[What follows is the sixth installment of Rochelle Owens' Hermaphropoetics, a work in progress that continues the poetic & mythopoetic reach of her oeuvre as it has come to us since the 1960s. For me she remains, as she was when we first came to know her, a poet who bends the resources of language toward the revelation & creation of a new & always startling vision of the real & more-than-real. As I wrote of her back then: "There is a voice in Owens' work … like a fierce and unrelenting force of nature. Sharp and visual, she combines a landscape with a poetics, the domestic with the mythic, machines with the organic living world from which arises a construct and a fused vision: poetry and life." The photo image of the field on Mars that accompanies "Brown Dust" is a good example of what her work makes possible. (J.R.)]

Pope Francis bashing is all the rage
blog Vatican
Poor Pope Francis. No matter what the guy says or does (or doesn't say or doesn't do), people are bound to use it to further their own ideological arguments. Francis' openness to dialog and his willingness to frankly discuss touchy subjects has been taken up by those who call for change in the church as ammunition in their arguments. And for those who worry that Francis is complicating their own agenda, he's become a common target, held up as an example of exactly what the church needs to avoid.
