Hi All - This is my very first post although I have been reading these boards for a while and has helped me tremendously.
I recently on Tuesday applied for a nRewards credit card with Navy fed with a Fico score of 661, but my application has been in "review process" since tuesday. Anyone had this experience? I have no collections, clean and only 5 inquires in two yrs. However I have 4 sub-prime CCs and low balances on each.
My goal is to get a high Credit Limit with the nRewards card and then close all other sub-prime cards that I have. I also have a credit card utilization of 30%.
I also applied for a 6,000 personal loan at the same time and have not heard from them. As such with one day, I have two hard pulls from Navy fed. I am just nervous of being denied? suggestions or thoughts? Experiences?
My Fico as of 11/28/08 - EQuifax - 661, Experian - 702, Transunion - 652
I would recommend calling them. They may need additional information. DW just apped on Wednesday for a NRewards Mastercard and got the review process message but was then approved on Thursday. She did put in a message in to let them know why she was looking for new credit. That may have helped her to get the card without having to call in.
Calling them with allow them to ask you any questions that may have that mught cause you to be denied.
Good Luck!
Apped about 5PM on Monday for a Plat(no rewards) MC. Got the 'need to review message. allow 3-5 days'. BY NOON on Tuesday was approved for 14K (the Visa also has 14K). I am a PIfer and there are checking/savings/investment accounts with NFCU - so that may be why I got a quick response.
Card appears on the my account pages today. It did cost me a hard but was worth it (looking to hedge on Citi since I have 1 MC and 4 gas and a HD with them - and Citi has problems and I am ansy about who they could sell to).
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Ask them nicely?
Or, if you mean technically, you could consider Terminal Services, or a VPN.
How do I get staff members to use SIMS at home ?
Ask them nicely?
Or, if you mean technically, you could consider Terminal Services, or a VPN.
We've been using Terminal Services for SIMS access for the last 3 years with no problems.
Terminal services via vpn, or learning gateway (maybe wait till its had a couple of version revisions.....)
As my boss has an aversion to VPNs for some reason, we will be going down the Learning Gateway route soon, when our LEA re-launches it next term. But personally, I'd think VPN connections for their laptops would be easier and more functional.
they would, but people peeing around with config or their own firewalls/routers could cause issues.
at least with learning gateway they just need web access. And it does look like it'll work well.
You may want to brush up on sharepoint (as thats what its based on) and also evaluate what you want to use it for, as not everything works through it (yet)
As said before VPN or Terminal Services. VPN will be the cheaper option but Terminal services will be better. Users wont be doing sims updates over the internet for one plus there are less things to break.
Cant really elaberate anymore to be honest... Learning gateway option would be the best option i think if you have allot of less technically minded people as they might not want to mess around with there firewalls etc at home.. but VPN would be the cheapest option.
Taking the bigger picture into account I'd recommend you went for Learning Gateway. The government expect schools to provide access to parents for online reporting by 2010 (Secondary) 2012 (Primary). LG will provide this and some.
Might be worth asking if your LA is considering purchasing it and hosting it on behalf of schools. If they are it will save you a considerable amount of money and time.
In this case your SIMS software would be installed at home like it is on your internal client workstations. This software talks to the SIMS server just like an internal client it just needs to go through the VPN tunnel to be able to talk with your internal SIMS server.
RDP is simply a way of remote controlling a desktop session on a remote computer, you could do this directly over the internet (insecure) or connect to the machine in question through a VPN which makes it much more secure.
The issue with VPNs is routing and firewalls. Your schools ip configuration for VPN clients must not overlap with their local ip configuration on their home router. For instance if the users home router uses 192.168.1.0 and so does the VPN routing will fail and the VPN connection will not work. Some home routers do not support VPN passthrough at all and some cannot handle multiple simultanious VPN connections. If the home user has a device that cannot handle it or an ip configuration that overlapps the user must replace the router or reconfigure it respectivly.
With the VPN route SIMS would need to be installed locally on each home users computer, meaning (I think - I havn't used sims) that their computers would need at least windows 2000 and can't run linux or be a Mac.
The Web based route is much more simple for the end user as none of these issues come up (depending on how platform agnostic the web components or RDP client are).
Installed SIMS via VPN last night - took a few hors!
Couldn't logon though - Logon error 0 or something?
Think I forgot to open a port on my VPN - possibly SQL?
I'd doubt its a port issue as the vpn handles all of the traffic regardless of destination port.
Could you ping the server name both hostname and hostname.domainname?
I'll try it on mine tonight, been a while since I ran sims over vpn.

The company unveiled on Feb. 28 another new Live service, known as Windows Live Desktop Mail, an e-mail client similar to Outlook Express that is optimized to work with Windows Live Mail and other Windows Live services.
Microsoft said it will begin offering in March a preview of the Live Mail Desktop service, which the company is describing as "a PC-based program that will create a central place for accessing e-mail from various Web-based e-mail accounts." Both subscription-based and free, ad-supported versions will be available.

Clinique • High Impact Waterproof Mascara • Mascara

I *really* like this mascara! I have a major problem with most mascaras. They always end up under my eyes or on my cheeks in some way - flakes, chunks, smudges. Then, there's my preference of what I want my lashes to look like - flowy line, smooth, glossy, soft, defined, as natural as possible I loathe the thick hairy spider-leg, chunky, and uneven look (with two or three random lashes sticking out like spider legs - 'k I guess I don't like spider's legs - sorry spiders.). I haven't liked many waterproof mascaras either, so I was really weary to try this one. I was going on a tropical vacay and was looking for a great performing mascara. I took the bait based on the consultants recommendation and I was extremely pleased with the way High Impact performed. Even in the heat, humidity, swimming, etc. it never ended up under my eyes, and never clumped or dried up, plus it gave me the lash look that I love. It lasted, natural and fresh looking, all day and night. Very happy. It takes a wee bit extra effort to get it off because it's waterproof, but it's not impossible or stubborn at all and no traces are left lingering (I use either DCH Cleansing Oil or Clinique's Take Off The Day - the cream style). I also got the Instant Brow lift and my brows stayed on and looked natural the whole time too! Way to go Clinique! I now have two mascaras I can count on (the other is Aloette's mascara).

Meh. Decent but nothing special. And almost impossible to get off. I realize it's water-proof but I don't need it to be cleanser-proof too.
No smudging or flaking, which is nice. Provides okay length and volume but it doesn't provide definition- it tends to make my lashes stick together a little bit.
In short, I didn't love it and I wouldn't buy it again.

This is a good basic WP mascara, but it doesn't build up or add volume. If you're just looking for some extra color, this would be great.

I needed a new waterproof mascara so i gave this a try because the original High Impact is amazing!
It's terrible,it clumps up my lashes and does not give length or volume.
And the tube gets really messy if you close it.
Only good thing is that it is indeed waterproof...but what's the point if it makes my lashes look like poo...

The most annoying mascara I ever bought...almost tempted to discard but the Aus price of about $34 - yes, I know, daft - stops me. Clumps like no other I ever used.

I received this in a GWP and I've used it (stupidly) twice, hoping each time for a different result. It kills my curl to the extent that my lashes look bent and spidery. It does stay on forever, unfortunately.

I'm writing this review after trying my millionth waterproof mascara, the last one from Tarte. Tarte is sold at Sephora's and was recommended to me by two "beauty consultants". Well, it can't hold a candle to that of Clinique's waterproof high impact mascara! You'd think I'd get the hint and stop looking. I keep thinking I'll find the "perfect" mascara. Well,there is no Perfect masca. But Clinique's is the best one for me. I do have sensitive eyes and have short thin lashes. This mascara does not smudge or flake. I don't swim with mascara on so I can't tell you if it would stay submerged in water, but for everyday use it works nicely. I put on several coats because I feel I need more to make dramatic lashes. I use Clinique Bottom Lash to put on the tips of upper lashes to lenghen them. That's why I gave the High Impact one 4 out of 5. The only reason I looked for another mascara is I spent $26 on two mascaras and I thought I could find everything I want in one. So far, I haven't. So, hopefully I've learned my lesson and am sticking to Clinique. It does thicken and even curls which I didn't expect. Added bonus. Hope this review helps others who look for the "Holy Grail" of mascaras. If you like the item, stick to it unless the product is changed or discontinued, of course.

Oh, yessssss, finally!!! A waterproof mascara that does exactly the same as it's non-waterproof version. I absolutely love High Impact and was very eager to try this one out and boy, it doesn't disappoint! As mentioned earlier, it does exactly what the normal version does while being very waterproof. I exercise a lot (running, aerobics and cycling) and I need a mascara which I can just put on in the morning without having to worry about it for the rest of my (often long) days. Volume-wise it's not THE best one around (that's still Le Volume by Chanel and Givenchy's Couture Noir) but this is an easy to layer mascara which is a good deep black, it gives separation, length (after 1 layer) and volume (after 2 layers). I declare this the HG waterproof mascara! Well, at least for now ;)
EDIT; Sorry Clinique, Chanel Le Volume wp is out now and it's way better!

I don''t have much experience with waterproof mascaras (I usually buy the regular ones), but I decided to try this for my summer vacation and it did not diappoint. It held up during entire days of sunbathing, swimming in the ocean and the pool and going out at night. It didn't flake or smudge at all - just all around perfect!
I have naturally thick and quite long lashes, so I really only look for colour and a bit of volume and I honestly think this one did its' job. I don't usually curl my lashes either, so I don't know how it would hold one up.

Recipe by Saylor Mom
"Famous Western Pennsylvania Ham Loaf. Perfect way to use up left over smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother - doesn't take long and is somewhat nostalgic.

2 pounds
ground smoked ham
2 pounds
ground pork
2 cups
crushed graham crackers
1 1/2 cups
evaporated milk
eggs, beaten
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed tomato soup
1 cup
brown sugar
1/2 cup
white vinegar
1/2 cup
1 tablespoon
ground dry mustard
I must say I was unsure of this recipe since there were no other reviews & I had never tried it. It was wonderful! I really only make ham loaf for my family because the other recipe I had made before was not what I liked, but I even ate this. It seems a bit wet when you put it in the pan, but it gets very firm & the moisture is necessary.
I wish I could have liked this...I was looking for something different for the family, followed the directions to a T and this was an absolute catastrophe. I can't explain the very odd taste and the texture was grainy and terrible... the only bonus was the sauce (hence the single star.) My family had to drown their ham loaf in sauce to choke it down...I'm sorry; will not be making again.

Exactly the recipe I was looking for. This is authentic PA Dutch, just like my Gram used to make. The big difference between this and other recipes is the graham crackers. I skipped the tomato soup though, and added some pineapple juice to the topping. I then put some pineapples on top the loaf while it bakes....yum!
This ham loaf was absolutely delicious-my whole family loved it! A definite Easter dinner tradition!
This is IT! My late husband's ham loaf. This meal is DELISH made just as the recipe is written. Try it before making any changes. Certainly deserves a blue ribbon in my family's book!
Was very good. Mixed with hot sausage instead of ground pork, exchanged water for condensed milk and cut back to 2 Tbs and microwaved for 8 minutes. Great!
This ham loaf recipe was a good way to use up my leftover Christmas ham, but it needs onions and bell peppers in order to give it some pep. Frankly, it was too sweet for me, but the family liked it.

5 star Brilliance & Beauty
By Joyce
from Edmonton
I love this pendant even more than the new marquise cluster because the stones are bigger and sparkly and show way better! Can you make a matching heart ring like the heart necklace with bigger cluster in the centre of the heart? Now that would be gorgeous!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

(But the octopus lands on Nirvano's head instead. meanwhile, a large crocodile is inching along the podium, while a red, cuddly lobster is dancing in the air. Finally, the octopus gets to his destination - Stonehead's head. Osho is chuckling and enjoying the show tremendously, as well as the assembly, which is simply drowning in an ocean of laughter.)
Great, Avirbhava! Take your gods away.
Daio once said to a monk:"The peak experience, the final act - as soon as you try to pursue it in thought, there are white clouds for a thousand miles. But even if you go back upon seeing the monastery flagpole at a distance, or head off freely upon seeing a beckoning hand, this is still only half the issue; it is not yet the strategic action of the whole capability.You have traveled and studied various places and spent a long time in monasteries. Don't stick to the ruts in the road of the ancients - you must travel a living road on your own."
This can be called one of the very fundamentals of Zen: Don't stick to the ruts in the roads of the ancients - you must travel a living road on your own.
The fact is, you cannot travel on anybody's road because that road will never lead you to yourself. It will lead you to somebody else, whose road it is. Never be a follower; always be a path finder. And the path in the unknown reality of your inner world is made by walking into the unknown, without any road prepared by others for you.
All the religions are doing that: they are preparing roads for millions of people - highways, super highways. There are six hundred million Catholics walking on one road. They are not going to reach anywhere; not a single one of them has reached even to the state of Jesus Christ. And nobody even thinks about it. Six hundred million Catholics for eighteen hundred years following a certain road persistently, and they have not produced a single Jesus worth the name. It is not their fault, it is our whole mental makeup. We have been told that we have to walk on paths which are prepared. But this is a different path.
All paths that go outwards are prepared beforehand. You can go to the north, you can go to the south; you can go anywhere, the road is ready. But to go inside, no road is ready, you will have to create it by walking. It will remain always an individual pathway. Nobody else will ever walk on it and nobody else should ever walk on it, because that will lead him into a hypocrisy. He will become someone else that he is not. It is a very important message:
Don't stick to the ruts in the road of the ancients.

I thought I'd ask this here, in case there's something stupid I might be doing to cause this, or if there are things I should try, before I call on Behringer product support.
My new-in-February QX1832USB sounds OK for the first two minutes or so, but then the output starts to distort - loses high end, gets a bit of "static" white noise in it - and fades in volume considerably. If I change nothing, but cycle power on the mixer, it's all good ... for another two minutes.
This happens with several different input sources - a line-level output from a synth, a drum machine, or an Alesis DM Dock - and almost all the settings on the QX1832USB set to nominal/flat/off.
I could upload an audio capture if that would help.
I can't imagine there's a setting that says "Work OK for 2 minutes, then f*** up", but maybe it's something I'm doing.
Thanks for any ideas,

The part that I idssagre with is "

They suggest that EMD is not important at all and that keyword in domain name is not a ranking factor. I disagree. I'm pretty sure that it's still a significant ranking factor.

- as Toni said, Myth 4 is still here with EMD
- Myth 3 - what about schema.org and rich snippets, author rank?
- Myth 19 - links still count, and only a combination of page authority and domain authority with other (social) signals will boost rankings
- Myth 23 - give me a break... Google doesn't admit it, but, would they penalize booking.com or amazon? Only to show muscle if they do something too obvoius
- Myth 33 - same as 23... they would get that massive amount of data just because they can?
- Myth 35 - of course it will...if done right
- Myth 40 - we all do it... from the moment we do keyword research
- Myth 49 - Google frowns when someone ranks for highly commercial keywords - that's where the money is

1. What was your first BuzzFeed post?
Did you post something that has, so far, stood the test of time? Or did you post something that was, shall we say, aloof?
2. My first BuzzFeed post was pretty terrible. I posted it back on March 19, 2012.
It was this lame, horrible Onion-like piece titled "Fat MMA Fighter's Struggles Summarize How America Sucks" about this washed up MMA fighter named Tim Sylvia. I had only been reading the site for a few weeks by that point so I hadn't figured out the voice or the content. I had also just realized that anyone could post on the site, so that was my first shot. I much prefer my second post ever on the site, "5 Reasons Why Internet Trolling is a Good Thing". Unfortunately, one of the various site redesigns deleted the comments on it because I distinctly remember Ryan Broderick leaving an awesome TL;DR in the comments.
4. Haven't made a first post yet? It's NBD! Just join the community and LAUNCH. YOUR. BUZZ. Then, share your post in the comments for us to enjoy.

These boots look pretty sweet, which is why I was so disappointed when they tragically fell apart after only two days. Yeah, just in case you didn't believe those other two reviews, the thing that fastens the cable in place near the toes pops out real quick. I think they used chewing gum to put this boot together.

Guest Book
The painting features a Sugawara no Michizane (845-903) or Tenjin, who became a deified spirit after his death. Tenjin worship in Japan has originally been derived from the worship for Amatsu-kami (heavenly God) in shintoism and somehow connected to the worship for Sugawarano Michizane of God of thunder. Later during Edo period, he became also worshipped as the God of study since he had been known for prominent scholar and poet. Painted on paper with ink and pigments. There is an inscription on the scroll reads "Tosa Shokan" suggesting the artist was Tosa Yukihiro. It is painted in the style of Tosa Yukihiro. Tosa Yukihiro (1893-1958) was active during early Muromachi period. He was a court painter. According to a historical record, Yukihiro first introduced himself as as Tosa, which led the establishment of Tosa scholl through the history.
There are some loss, damages and creases on the painting as well as some marks damage on the mounting due to its great age.
Painting: 23 1/2 x 51 7/8 (59.5cm x 131.5cm)

i like to keep my aim close to my reach. Who cares about the climate!? Did the bear make it across or not? I bet it did ;)
The melting of the Arctic sea ice is quickly becoming a more serious problem that needs to be addressed. The major concern is that the melting of polar ice caps is harmful to the environment and wildlife. It is surprising that people want to extract oil from these areas because it will just cause more problems because of the emissions into the environment. Why make a problem even worse? People should be more concerned about solving the problem instead of looking for more sources of oil.
If you want to stop global warming I suggest not reproducing. Better yet you might even consider swallowing a bullet.
Nobody knows what the Earth is really doing. Face it.
While the rate that the ice is melting is alarming, it is a fact that America and Canada, and other countries, will put effort into preserving the ice, and using the resources it provides after the fact. 'Green' engineering is becoming a huge field, and even many of the engineers here at Tech are being taught on ways to better the environment. With all of these brilliant people coming into this field, the best solution is bound to be found.
@ Sense Seeker
Sorry but your attempted obfuscation will not work on me. From your numerous entries on this site it is obvious that you have a dogma to protect, possibly that of the IPCC and the CO2 global
warmists whereas I am under no such disadvantage. I am only attempting to inform readers of what has actually happened in the real world over the past 30+ years by providing them with a simple, logical mathematical summary of the measurements of atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature. That cannot be invalid. I am assuming nothing. However making invalid inferences
from those summaries would be a mistake.
I suggest that you put aside your blinkers and make a study of the real world data. Try calculating correlation coefficients for lags or leads of up to 12 months. You will find that the conclusion does not alter, with the greatest amplitude for the correlation coefficient being about -0.034 which means that an increase in CO2 concentration causes a decrease in Temperature and I am sure that you would not like that. Fortunately the result is not statistically significant and the conclusion holds, namely, that there is no reason to predict a causal relationship between changes in CO2 concentration and changes in atmospheric temperature. They are simply independent variables.
However it makes no sense to expect a lag or lead. As you well know, photons travel at the speed of light so any back-radiation from CO2 in the atmosphere is going to be almost instantaneous.
Furthermore applying an adjustment for seasonal variation does not change the conclusion. Do the necessary calculation before you make unwarranted accusations.
Also the high variability in the data is taken into account by the large sample size, 392 observations in the case of the Mauna Loa data and 373 observations for the Cape Grim data. The determination of the probability from the t statistic takes account of the random variability in the measurements. Both the sample size and the standard deviation form part of the t statistic from which the probability is determined. Certainly the random measurement errors will not be anywhere near as large as those in the IPCC data whereby they use measurements of tree rings, stalactites and ice cores as proxies for temperature.
As for the correlation of 0.66 between the Mauna Loa CO2 concentration and the Northern Hemisphere Lower Tropospheric temperature, it is standard statistical practice that correlation
does not infer causation. That is the reason for taking first difference so as to compare instances of both increasing and decreasing occurrences of the variables with respect to each
other. Thus the IPCC claim that the temperature has increased because it has moved in unison with the CO2 concentration is unfounded. My age has also moved in unison with both so am I the cause of the increase in CO2 concentration and the temperature? If so, then no action is needed by the world community as I will not be here in a decade or two so the climate will then return to its
former idyllic condition.
Finally, are you questioning the validity of Prof. Murry Salby's work? Weren't you at the XXV General Assembly of the IUGG? Oh dear you are out of touch.
I think people misunderstand the alarming nature of these reports. The concern isn't over the warming, the Earth is known to go through natural warming and cooling periods. No, what shocks scientists is the rate at which the atmosphere is warming. It places this warming trend far outside the natural rate of change the Earth experiences naturally. The Arctic is the most sensitive to this change so that's where the attention rightfully is and I'm interested where this research leads in the coming months and years. Hopefully the governments take notice and put aside political talking points in favor of real change for the benefit of everyone.
The way the ice is melting over the summer and the way that the models have projected the ice melting over the past couple of decades or so all of the ice will be gone before we know it. Meaning many of the animals that are currently there will most likely disappear if they don't find a way to find another home. The reduction of the CO2 admissions will slow down the process and hopefully by the time 2050 comes long another solution to the problem will arise. The different industries that are affected by the arctic ice such as the natural gas and oil companies and many fisheries are going to benefit from the ice melting for sure but the res of the world will see the effects of the ice melting through different weather patterns and other effects on the climate. The situation needs to be resolved soon and fast.
If Global Warming is truly happening, then only "reducing black carbon and ozone in the lower part of the atmosphere, especially in the Arctic countries of America, Canada, Russia and Scandinavia, could cut warming in the Arctic by two-thirds over the next three decades," won't help prevent global warming from continuing. If something really does want to be done, then the entire world need to get on top of reducing black carbon and ozone. The entire world is to blame for this and therefore the entire world needs to help stop this process. And I do mean the entire world. The United States needs to realize how much it affects the rest of the world and needs to start changing. The United States releases a lot of carbon and ozone emissions and doesn't really care that they are doing it. That at the very least needs to change and then from that the United States can start getting involved in reducing global warming.
I strongly believe that the earth's climate is constantly changing on its own. There have been two times in the earth's history where average temperatures have been HIGHER than they are today. This occurred first about 350,000 years ago and also about 130,000 years ago. Extra carbon dioxide emission from humans probably doesn't help cool the climate down, but I highly doubt it's to blame for increased global temperatures. Although I'm a believer in doing our part to keep Earth clean, I don't think any effort of ours will moderate global temperatures.
We all need to fight hard to transmit a nice planet to our children. Coming soon a smart platform to book only green hotels and shops: They are respectively commited to save our planet by respecting the environment: TICATI @ www.ticati.com
Global warming is an issue that people need to be more passionate about. Environmental changes need to be just as important as economic ones across the globe. The polar ice caps melting is a HUGE deal for the earth and people just keep saying, Well as long as things don't change in my lifetime...
This may not be the end of the world, but it is definitely becoming a quick walk toward it. Whether weather changes are directly affecting you or not, you live on this planet, too.
It's sad and a little scary to see that ice is melting at a quicker rate than theory suggested it would. This alarming report really hammers home how important greener energies and a change of lifestyle around the world is as climate change is becoming an increasingly pressing matter. I feel despaired that the world has been left to my generation in such shape with almost no care taken into how the environment was treated throughout the industrial revolution until now. We only have one world people, treat it right.
I am not agreeing or disagreeing that global warming is happening but the comment about black soot got me thinking. Within the past year alone the entire state of Texas has been on fire at some point and the volcano in Iceland erupted twice. Im wondering if more soot in the artic could be caused just by the normal acts of nature alone. Either way some one should take control of this area before all the Oil giants role in and god knows what will happen to it in the future.
The Economist concentrates on a single record (NSIDC) of Arctic ice and it draws conclusions that are already out of date. Over the last 2-3 weeks, Arctic ice area has increased rapidly and from an unusually early date.
The worst feature of this article is that it draws conclusions from a record that runs from 1978. It ignores previous evidence that Arctic ice has retreated and advanced many times in the past. Many ships have been through the Northwest passage and, in the 1940s, one Canadian police vessel did the voyage in both directions. Drawing long term conclusions from just over 30 years of data is totally irresponsible.
There has been some glacier retreat in Greenland and what it has done is uncover the remains of Viking settlements. So that is absolute proof that, in the middle ages warm period, there was a lot less ice in Greenland and, presumably, in the Arctic. Polar bears survived!
The article–and the Economist–turns a blind eye to the fact that the world has not warmed for 10 to 15 years. Evidence from the Southern oscillation index tells us that, because a la nina is retuning, there will be no significant warming until, at the very least, the 1st half of 2012. So, every day, the predictions of the climate models–upon which the whole man-made global warming theory relies–become more and more improbable.
I have corresponded with 2 lead authors of the IPCC–Dr Renwick and Dr Wratt–and neither of them can offer anything more than "an expectation" that, within "decades", the climate models will turn out to be correct. Yet, not long ago, the same people were claiming that climate models would be shown to be correct over periods in the region of ten years. They are now telling us that the climate models will be wrong for a period of 30 years at least.
Against this, we have evidence from history that global temperatures are related to the length of the preceding sunspot cycle and we also have evidence that sunspots are declining rapidly. The last time that happened we had the Little Ice Age.
Man-made global warming is a myth promoted by people who, by supporting it, expect to remain in employment or, by exploiting fraudulent carbon trading and heavily subsidized renewable energy, hope to make vast amounts of money.
It is an absolute disgrace that the Economist cannot see through this and continues to close its eyes to the mounting evidence that the climate changes naturally.
"Climate change has been an issue since the beginning of time, but recently extremists make it a bigger deal than normal."
If by 'extremists' you mean industrialised society, or specifically fossil fuel companies and free market ideologues, you are right.
If you consider the scientists 'extremists', I don't think you quite understand what they do. They examine what is going on with our climate, and conclude that it is changing much more rapidly than is natural, and that this is caused by our CO2 emissions. This is hard science, not something they make up or something fungible and prone to ideological biases like economic theory.
"Simple linear regression analysis of the changes in the monthly average CO2 concentration..."
In a previous discussion I and others have already pointed out that your analysis is invalid. You assume that a higher CO2 measurement is related to a higher temperature IN THE SAME MONTH. In reality there are lags in that system. You also do not adjust for other factors that influence temperature - such as season. There is also a fairly large random error in monthly values. All of this makes it very unlikely that you would find any correlation - in spite of the clear correlation between CO2 levels and temperature if you simply regress one on the other. Even without adjustment for seasonality etc.
So your analysis is fatally flawed, and you have been explained why previously. Why do you bring it up again?
Global warming may be a serious issue in the global community, but it is not the end of civilization as we know it. Climate change has been an issue since the beginning of time, but recently extremists make it a bigger deal than normal. While I agree scientists should address the issue, some people are too extreme in their actions. Yes, the ice is melting, but it is certainly NOT the magnitude of problem that the majority of the public is making it out to be.
About climate change, Artic is one of the most sensitive place in the earth. The reaction of it will be the dramatic change of sea level.
For most of important economic centers in the world such as New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong are near sea side, this will be a huge strike to global economic activities. Maybe let the whole world become like what Holand is is also a good way of preventing the caos of economy, or just move those centers to a higher place like Brazil did before.
For human beings, most people on the earth can physically overcome it because global warming is not going to make winter hot as summer days, it only changes several degrees.
That the Arctic Ocean will be free of floating summer ice sometime between 2020 and 2050 is a pretty radical assumption to make. However, it's fairly clear that global warming is escalating due to the figures and examples that are drawn up here. What makes this matter so serious and potentially catastrophic is the fact that a less ice-covered Arctic will simply facilitate further global warming. As stated in the article, exposing the land and water of the Arctic will certainly make it warmer, as it will absorb a much greater amount of heat than snow and ice. It's also quite obvious that less ice in the Arctic is making the region much more attractive to oil companies. This is simply putting the world on a crash course, as ease of access to oil will facilitate global warming even further. If carbon emissions aren't cut down in the next few years, the chain of events predicted here will certainly occur.
Just learning how the US is being hard-headed with the Koyoto protocol and is not trying to compromise with their emissions. Although many countries are in a recession and they're trying to get out of it, disregarding what they emit into the atmosphere is morally wrong. Not only is it affecting humans, but also animals. Animals that we need for food and many other vital things. Humans fail to realize that the Earth was not just created for us but for all creatures. We can't just allow the climate in the Arctic to change and not do anything about it. Scientist have clearly labelled CO2 emissions as the cause of global warming. Countries must now become aware of their actions and behave in a way that limits what they put into the atmosphere before we hit a brink of no return.

When The Witcher 2 came out for PC last year, gamers everywhere were entranced with its open-ended world, hours full of quests and decisions that would eventually shape the fate of Geralt of Rivia, the main hero (or anti-hero) of the game. So when we heard that WB Games was interested in porting the game to Xbox 360, we were intrigued, while at the same time concerned, considering that most PC-to-console ports didn't meet with that much success. However, leave it to CD Projekt RED, the original game's developer, to not only step up to the task, but exceed it, giving the Xbox 360 one of its better adventure games since Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur. And that's saying something.
Throughout the game, you'll guide Geralt through a series of missions, some for royalty, others merely for the sake of discovering a little something about himself. But each one has significance, compared to just running around on fetch quests that go nowhere fast. With each decision, you actually shape Geralt's fate, as it were, and even events and folks surrounding him – including girls in possible romantic situations. You do this through conversations, crucial decisions and more, either becoming more of an alchemy-wielding madman or a noble (or maybe not-so-noble) hero, the one that the troubled land richly deserves. It's your call, and that's part of the splendor of The Witcher 2. We made a lot of choices playing through the game, and still have discoveries lying in wait. That's the sign of a game with utterly ridiculous replay value.
Geralt's not just a heavy talker, though. He can also back up his words, and you'll discover this through the game's excellent combat. You'll hack away at enemies with swords and also use secondary weapons to get the job done, including traps (which enemies foolishly walk into), daggers and bombs. What's more, Geralt knows a thing or two about alchemy, and can built essential new items that help him over the course of the game, once he's gathered the proper tools.
Now, the controls do take some getting used to, since all the functionality of the PC game has been crammed into an Xbox 360 controller. However, after a few minutes of play and getting used to menus and item wheels, we can honestly say that we didn't have a problem with the game whatsoever. Selecting and equipping items, assorting and selling new ones and using it all into a great context for battle is superb, even if there are times you'll face multiple enemies, being forced to use defensive tactic instead of a spell that simply levels everyone. But then again, Geralt isn't exactly a God of War, now is he?

Wives, don't let your husbands grow up to be cowboys: I truly was bothered by Rebekah Gleaves' December 12 article on the Pynk Pages ("In the Pynk"). Has the human race degraded so that now there has to be a book on where to get a prostitute? How can this man's wife be agreeable to such behavior? And his daughter? It amazes me to think that people consider this behavior OK.
First of all, I think this man has some real sexual issues. Counseling, instead of a book on hookers and where to find them, might help. Or how about a book on morals for married men looking for outside relationships? Or how about a book that would guide men back to their marital commitment and teach them to build their relationships with their spouses -- a commitment they took a vow to fulfill?
How about single people trying to learn more about themselves and why they would pay for sex? Maybe give them a book to help them grow in other areas of their lives. How about the hookers? How can they truly feel good about themselves? Is it really all about money? How sad that this has become so acceptable and that a wife and daughter agree to such a thing just for the money. America, how sad... let's clean up our acts and become responsible adults instead of just people who lust for money and sex.

You all deserve Harvey's bile: How outrageous for letter writer James H. Batmasian to opine that Congressman Robert Wexler says and does things to "get as many Jewish and other votes as possible" (Letters, December 5). Does Batmasian know Wexler? Doubtful; otherwise, he wouldn't trash Wexler by saying, "Mr. Wexler needs to turn his back on his own personal beliefs and simply support everything that Israel does, right or wrong."
In fact, Mr. Wexler's personal beliefs are, 99 percent of the time, in accord with Israel's attempts to protect itself from terrorist Arab butchers. And Wexler agrees with Israel that the big problem is how to get the Arabs who occupy the land won by Israel in 1967 and 1973 to stop trying to exterminate the Jewish state. He's been consistent in these matters. He's never wavered in his opinions; so why accuse him falsely of doing same?
In another matter, to Stacy Davids, Herb Siegel, et al., and the other 92,000 moronic schmucks who voted for Ralph Nader for president: You helped elect that right-wing putz, "Dubya." Are you happy that we're all really fucked now? No environment! No help for people against big business! Right-wing fascist courts, etc.! Thanks for nothing -- nothing left of our country by 2008, that is.

The front esk reception area personnel were outstanding and gave great service. I want to particularly site lia as most helpfull. Alphonse, Roberto, and Leonardo were very accommodating.

My Houzz: Enchanting Eclecticism for a Dallas Artist
by Sarah Greenman · 25 photos · 38 comments
The front yard has a beautiful collection of sculptural low-maintenance plants and stone installations. Yucca, saguaro cactus, cypress and blue sage, among others, reflect the house's artistic style and unique construction.by Sarah Greenman
Chantilis put her unique touch on everything in her home. Even the front gate is adorned with one of her fused-glass art installations. A collection of eyes set in yellow and sepia-colored glass keep watch over the property.by Sarah Greenman
The front porch has an eclectic mix of vintage patio furniture, ethnic textiles and architectural elements, like a sheet-metal privacy screen with a punched-out circular pattern.by Sarah Greenman
The exterior is encased in corrugated metal, Cor-Ten steel, industrial accents and rustic hardware. The front entry showcases glass globes hanging from a metal pergola.by Sarah Greenman
The words "hope" and "faith" are cast in marble pieces that look like they might top a headstone, but here they welcome visitors ascending the steps of the front deck.

Waist-high metal patio walls are topped with planters that house succulents and cacti of all shapes and sizes. A potbelly ceramic fire pit in the corner is ready for the onset of winter weather.by Sarah Greenman
Inside, Chantilis' eclectic style and expansive collections merge with the open floor plan and modern architecture. "I am a collector at heart and want to be able to see and play with my treats and treasures," she says.by Sarah Greenman
A frosted glass entry allows diffused light into the foyer and still maintains privacy.by Sarah Greenman

An industrial table sits in front of a central window, which can be retracted to open the living room to a courtyard deck. Chantilis has created little altars of natural elements, plants and sculptures all over her home. Here she has placed quartz crystals in an aloe vera plant surrounded by seasonal decor and succulents.by Sarah Greenman
Chantilis, owner of Two Sisters Catering, enjoys using restaurant equipment in her home and studio. The baker's rack below the table houses an assortment of gemstones and geodes.

A treasured curio cabinet filled with collected treasures stands in the foyer. "I love that piece," Chantilis says. "It's actually three pieces. The top piece was bought separately and actually sat in a different place in the house for a few years. The mirror in the back and the glass shelves give the feel that my treasures are floating in there."by Sarah Greenman
Round Top, an antiques fair between Austin and Houston, is one of her favorite places to shop for treasures.

"The objects I like talk to me, and I want them around me," Chantilis says. "I collected rocks as a little girl, but that has obviously expanded to include religious art, vintage toys, poetry, signs and more. Someone else might not get it or see its value, but I love collecting."by Sarah Greenman
A favorite spot is the step between the living room and kitchen. "I've always been a stoop sitter," she says.by Sarah Greenman
The industrial stools at the kitchen island were found at Round Top. "The seats were originally hide but had been left out in the rain. I saved them and had them reupholstered with white leather," Chantillis says.

Having her workplace in the backyard "certainly has its pluses and minuses," she says. "But it's nice to go out in my PJs to check the kiln or take a glass of wine out the studio and start a project. So much of what I do as a mosaic artist is in stages, so the benefit is huge."by Sarah Greenman
Just outside the art studio is an outdoor shower constructed with corrugated metal.by Sarah Greenman

The side yard is a meandering courtyard protected by Grace, the catalpa tree. It boasts a fire pit, a gravel floor, ample seating and a second-story guest room atop the art studio.by Sarah Greenman
The sheet-metal privacy screen seen on the front porch is used on this second-story deck as well.by Sarah Greenman
Two sage-green Adirondack chairs flank a makeshift table, which sits upon an upturned planter. Rusted corrugated metal, a wooden crucifix and potted foxtail ferns create a dynamic backdrop.by Sarah Greenman
Chantilis sits in her living room behind a coffee table she crafted from recycled vintage tile. "I want my space to fill me with creativity," she says. "I love when visitors compliment the energy created here and let me know how good they feel when they are in my home."by Sarah Greenman

I really like that the home was built around the tree. I can see why that was a plus to the owner, and I can also see her love of nature in her decor. One of the best things about Houzz, too, is that we see so many different styles (and not all of them have to be our own personal style to be appreciated). It looks like an interesting person lives in this house and has brought a lot of warmth and love to the design. Thanks for sharing!

for some people too much stuff is claustrophobic, those of us who love things, collect vintage, art, plants, kid art, you name it we want to see it and be with it all the time...I am one of those people and am constantly editing my stuff (packing away) because I discovered if everything is out can't see any one thing... my guess is this home owner moves her stuff around all the time, a new aquisition requires putting away one thing for another sometimes. The wonderful thing about Houzz is there are spaces for everyone...I seem to love them all...I just need more houses. I like the yard because it is more an outdoor living space, her climate allows this...for a small yard who needs grass to mow...stuff and plants with personality. bring it all on! would love to see more eclectic collection houses on Houzz...

Name calling of Houzz readers is uncalled for here. Additionally, the home owner was kind enough to share her home with Houzz and there is no need to insult her taste or her sensibilities. Her home reflects her personal style and has been designed according the the dictates of her heart. If you have something salient to share with the group, by all means do. If you're here to name call or stereotype artists and non-artists, than please refrain.

I saw this house on a home tour not too long ago. It's a very unique place filled with many wonderful things. Just a tad over the top for me personally. Lots of beautiful furniture and unusual accessories. It would have been nice to be able to go a little slower on the tour in order to appreciate her many collections and artwork.
I love this space. It's "non identikit" home style is totally refreshing and the actuality of personal expression is liberating to see.

It's very sad that people would make such ugly comments on someone else's home. Although this house is not representative of my personal style, it is of HERS. I was lucky enough to see this home on a tour last year and felt like I really knew her after going through the house, yard and studio. Not only was she kind enough to allow us into her home, but she had fresh-baked treats for everyone! I'll add that Little Forest Hills residents have signs in their yards that say " Keep Little Forest Hills Funky." The neighborhood is right by a lake, 10 minutes from downtown and those that move there do so BECAUSE its such a unique community!

The Mountain Post is helping with the process, but having its soldiers attend Veteran's University Reintegration classes. The soldiers' wives are also invited to go to the classes.
The classes deal with subjects like combat stress and strengthening the soldiers' marriages.
The Thayers are going to the two day workshop. They're family has changed a lot in the last year. The couple had their first child last June. SGT James Thayer was able to fly home for the birth, but left for Iraq six days later, to return to duty.
"I'm home with what I've been working for my whole life," said SGT Thayer.
Both SGT Thayer and his wife Anna think the classes are a good idea.
"They're truly going to help us," said Anna Thayer.
Jill Nugin teaches the Marriage Enrichment Class, which is part of the workshop.
"I think when we get back together, we discover we had to be stronger in other areas," said Nugin, "then we have to kind of mesh that thing back together."
Nugin says her class gives the couples the tools to deal with conflict. She says that conflict can be about anything, from finances to disciplining children.
"Just things they can do to sorta, kinda feel back in with their families," said Nugin.
The Thayers say the transition back into family life is going well.
"This is what its suppose to be like, we're a family again," said Anna Thayer.
But they welcome any tools that could help them in the next few months.
"I have every faith in the world we're going to be alright," said Anna Thayer.
The classes will be held through March 17th. The classes have been expanded since the Regiment returned from its first Iraq deployment.
Fort Carson officials say the course isn't offered as a reaction to the rise in deadly domestic violence experienced at Fort Bragg in 2002. However, they say they learn more about what areas they can improve every time the Mountain Post's soldiers deploy.
