Taylors Honored with National Sierra Club Award
The Award
Wally and Pam Mackey-Taylor of Marion recently received the national Sierra Club's Susan E. Miller award at the Sierra Club's annual meeting August 4 in San Francisco. The Susan E. Miller Award honors exceptional contributions by individual Sierra Club members to chapters in organization or management.
Both Pam and Wally have volunteered their time in various capacities with the Chapter, including both of them serving as Iowa Chapter chairs at different times. A Cedar Rapids attorney, Wally currently serves as Legal Chair. Pam presently chairs the Fundraising committee and co-chairs the Energy committee with her husband, Wally.
"Pam and Wally usually work as a team, with both contributing to the effort," said Jane Clark, Chapter chair. "Their environmental concerns are broad: water, energy, air quality, population, fundraising, the annual dinner and award recognition, corporations and election financing, road projects, wildlife, transportation. The list is very long."
The Taylors, Sierra Club members since 1977, travel throughout the region and country to attend meetings, follow issues and testify or take other legal action.

The Nomination
Nomination for Sierra Club's Special Services Award
Wally Taylor and Pam Mackey-Taylor
Iowa Chapter
We nominate Wally Taylor and Pam Mackey-Taylor for Sierra Club's Special Services Award for their strong and consistent commitment to conservation and to Sierra Club over an extended period of time. Wally serves as Iowa Chapter's Legal Chair and is currently on the Club's Council of Delegates and Pam served as Chapter Chair and Secretary in addition to currently serving as Chapter Energy Chair and Chapter Fundraising Chair. They both serve on the Iowa Chapter's executive committee.
They have been members since 1977. They are conscientious in their attendance at Chapter executive committee meetings and are key members of the team. They travel throughout the region and country to attend meetings, follow issues, and testify or take other legal action.
Pam and Wally work as a team, with both contributing to the effort. Their environmental concerns are broad: water, energy, air quality, population, fundraising, the annual dinner and award recognition, corporations and election financing, Rural Electric Cooperatives, highway projects, wildlife protection, transportation…the list goes on!
Wally, an attorney, has worked together with Pam on a variety of issues dating back to the early 1990s or before. For the Iowa Chapter, Wally initiated lawsuits about two water quality issues in the late 1990s. When French Creek, a premier trout stream in northeast Iowa, was being threatened with pollution by a nearby hog confinement and the owner was spreading liquid manure on land near the trout stream, Wally took the confinement owner to court for Sierra Club and Hawkeye Fly Fishing Association joined forces with the chapter as an intervenor. The lawsuit was filed in 1999 to force the hog operation to cease activities that would contribute to pollution of French Creek.
The French Creek court battle lasted several years and eventually went to the Iowa Supreme Court which resulted in a negotiated settlement agreement in December 2004. It was the first CAFO case that addressed the issue of the adverse effects of CAFOs on water quality. More recently, Wally assisted neighbors opposing a confinement in Dallas County, Iowa.
Another lawsuit Wally represented Sierra Club on involved the TMDL regulatory requirement that has been in effect since 1978. Iowa had not completed any such studies when this litigation was filed in 1998. Under the Act, when a state fails to meet its obligations, the federal EPA is required to step in and complete the TMDLs. In this case, the EPA also failed to complete TMDLs. Three citizens groups, SAILORS, Mississippi River Revival and the Sierra Club filed lawsuits alleging that the EPA had failed to adequately enforce the Clean Water Act in Iowa. In October of 2001, after three years of litigation, the Environmental Protection Agency agreed to fully enforce the federal Clean Water Act in Iowa.
In 1998, Iowa had identified 157 water bodies that were impaired by pollution in a biennial list required by the CWA. In previous lists, many of the same water bodies had been identified as impaired. After listing the impaired waters, the CWA required Iowa to study the pollution problem on each segment, developing the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of pollutants that are necessary to achieve compliance with water quality standards.
Wally's work is frequently for the Chapter and is primarily pro-bono, especially on local and state issues. He follows the actions of the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission and closely, as well as Iowa's water quality issues, and leads the Chapter's legal efforts on these matters. He also works cooperatively with the Sierra Club legal staff on issues of importance to the Midwest region.
Through all of this legal work, Pam has always been there to assist Wally with preparing the documents and assisting with research, etc. It's a real team effort. Pam's background in engineering provides an excellent basis for her work with Wally on legal issues and many other issues, especially energy issues. She has also taken a lead in rejuvenating our fundraising campaign and this, along with her grant writing has helped get our Chapter on more secure financial footing.
Wally and Pam have fought a long battle to protect a state and county preserve from a highway project Hwy. 100 near Cedar Rapids, Iowa). That suit is still pending. Wally and Pam were involved with the Eddyville Dunes project before then--another highway issue. Wally was instrumental in protecting the Iowa River Greenbelt Corridor from the impacts of a major bridge over the Iowa River several years ago. He also worked on a highway project in northwest Iowa that would have impacted one of Iowa's "great lakes"—the Okoboji area.
When MidAmerican Energy began the process and encouraged legislation to build a nuclear plant, Wally and Pam testified before a hearing of the Iowa Utilities Board. Convio alerts were sent to our members, thanks to Wally and Pam's efforts in this ongoing issue. But years before that, Wally had represented individuals who wanted to have a wind turbine on their property and there were issues with the local Rural Electric Cooperative (REC). Wally and Pam have testified before the Iowa Utilities Board on several occasions to object to new power plants or to comment on energy efficiency measures. Wally also testified before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the status of Omaha Public Power's flooded Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant and to the NRC's Blue Ribbon Commission on nuclear waste siting—both in 2011.
Pam has been very helpful to our Chapter Director in writing campaign grants which help supplement some of the Chapter's expenses. At the beginning of the Club's Coal Campaign, Pam and Wally met with the Club's Organizers and helped work out a plan with the Club's Student Sierra Coalition to convince Iowa's three state universities to move away from using their coal-fired power plants. This action is making progress with the Iowa Board of Regents to consider solar and wind power possibilities.
No matter what issues come before the Iowa Chapter executive committee, Wally and Pam are willing to add their advice, legal or otherwise. Both of them are, and have been valuable leaders in our Chapter and certainly deserve this honorable award.
Nominated by:

This nomination is supported by the Iowa Chapter executive committee

Should the Carolina Panthers be the "North Carolina Panthers"?
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:01 PM
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:28 PM
i live in sc and travel between the 2 states on a regular basis. to be quite honest, there's not much of a difference between either state...except most south carolinians don't bother to go to myrtle beach, but apparently north carolinians do.
Us North Carolinians LOVE going to BroadWay @ The Beach! That place is always slammed with women every weekend!
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:29 PM
Shouldn't it be the "Washington DC Redskins" if we're being technical?
Wait a minute, the Skins play in Raljon Maryland, so they should be "Raljon Redskins" right?
Landover Redskins
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:32 PM
What city are they in?
Jets/Giants both play in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
So New York is a pretty vague thing.....Technically, the Giants for example don't play in the state or have a practice faculty or headquarters. They should be the Jersey Giants or as some suggest the E. Rutherford Giants

I know there are a lot of great fans in South Carolina that may feel a little butt-hurt asking this...
but why do the Panthers (and Hurricanes for that matter) use Carolina instead of North Carolina? What about the "Charlotte Panthers"? Is it because it is just rolls off the tongue easier? Do they just want a larger fan base?
No. Without South Carolina, there would be no Carolina Panthers. Period. End of discussion (yet one more time).
Posted 19 June 2012 - 03:41 PM
Also who is going to be taxed when it comes time to improve and renovate the area surrounding the stadium. It's Charlotte's team which we share with the rest of North and South Carolina

As much as South Carolina sucks I think we should try be as inclusive as possible. Many in SC have adopted the Carolina Panthers as their team.
But I do have to say that if it weren't for the gambling boats in Little River and the VD riddled divorcees that will fug anyone willing and able in Myrtle Beach I would never have any reason to ever step into that cesspool.
fug you, pussy boy.

Don't be mad that your state has the gheyest flag in the US.
How many douchebags in that state have a palmetto tree and crescent moon tattooed somewhere on their white trash body??

Are you that anal retentive that ya would want it to be "north Carolina panthers"?

I live right below gastonia so my perspective of NC is much worse than where I live.

|Landscaper's technology puts safety first on high school sports fields
A cool piece of GPS technology is keeping sports fields healthy and safe for a central Ontario school board.
A bit like a satellite on the ground, a machine mounted on a riding lawn mower measures the quality of the grass surface on the playing field. The information it gathers tells the landscape management company where to put its resources to improve the health of the turf, and fewer weeds, bare patches, and uneven surfaces means improved safety for players, especially important during the fall football season.
Pat Hester owns the Barrie, Ont. franchise of Clintar Landscape Management. He says the Trimble® GreenSeeker® sensing system is often used by farmers, but rarely used to improve sports fields.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013, Clintar provides year-round care for property management companies, corporations, hospitals, large retailers, school boards, and homeowner associations. Services include landscape design and construction, landscape maintenance, irrigation systems, litter pick-up, parking lot cleaning, line-painting, and snow and ice control.

Bio and Links
In the NC/SC area, I research my paternal family names of McCorkle, McManus, Taylor & Plyler and my maternal family names (mostly NC) of Miller, Gordon, Williams & Snead/Sneed. Other names further back in my ancestry of interest to me are Woods, Therrell, Paxton, Osborne, Lawson & Smothers.
I live in the western part of Union County, N.C. and have a strong interest in the history of my church, Bonds Grove UMC and the people buried there and also the cemetery at Weddington UMC where my mother was a member growing up. Bonds Grove UMC merged with Weddington UMC in 2013 and is now the Bonds Grove campus of Weddington UMC.
I have included people & photos of some non-related. If you discover your ancestors are on my list, please request a transfer and I will be happy to do so. If you have a correction, please go thru "edit" to make a correction request.
Please do not post death certificates on my memorials! Find-a-grave is a memorial website and not placed for genealogy research.
Note @ 2/25/13 - Recently I have been scanning ancestry.com and finding many of my photos out there that I have placed in find-a-grave. I am not happy about this. Only one person has ever asked permission. If you would like to use one of my photos, please be forthcoming and make a request. These photos are my relatives and ancestors and I have put forth a lot of effort in obtaining these. Thank you.....

Buffered asprin is OK. But I really suggest getting samples of some "triptan" drugs from your physician. Seems some people have luck with various ones, my God-send is Imitrix......see my rating there.

Health Stocks in Motion
Shares of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals (NABI) were among the worst-performing health-related stocks Tuesday, tumbling nearly 72% after the biotechnology company halted development of its staph infection vaccines.
The company decided to discontinue developing the vaccines after its StaphVax product failed to meet the primary endpoint of a Phase III trial. The study found no reduction in S. aureus types 5 and 8 infections in the StaphVax group of patients as compared to a placebo group. "We are obviously surprised and very disappointed with the results of the StaphVax confirmatory Phase III trial," the company said.
In addition to halting further development of StaphVax and withdrawing its application to market StaphVax in the European Union, Nabi said it would also halt development of Altastaph, the company's investigational product for the prevention and treatment of S. aureus infections. Shares were trading down $9.25 to $3.60.

AP: Bid Discrepancies Preceded La. Town Evacuation
Abney said it "was the understanding of the Army representatives" that Explo was going to sell M6 to Kentucky Powder and Kentucky Powder would use it to make blasting slurry for mining. But there was no operational slurry facility there at the time.
"The Army representatives were shown the blueprints and the footings for the slurry plan operations during the Army site visit," said Abney, who doesn't know if the facility is operational now.
Kentucky Powder "did not provide consumption rates" and the company did not tell the Army that it would store the product for Explo, Abney said. The Army's contract is not with Kentucky Powder.
R. Edward McGhee is president of Kentucky Powder Company, according to filings with the Kentucky Secretary of State's office. Business filings in Louisiana list him as a director of Explo Systems. The Louisiana documents list David Fincher of Burns, Tenn., as president of Explo Systems and David Alan Smith of Winchester, Ky., as secretary and treasurer.McGhee said in a telephone interview that Kentucky Powder only buys explosives that it can resell and hasn't bought M6 from Explo in more than a year because demand is down. He said the company doesn't store explosives for other companies. After being contacted by the AP, McGhee said he spoke to Explo officials who told him the plan mistakenly said the company had 70 million pounds of storage and should have said 7 million. McGhee did not mention being listed as a director of Explo Systems and hasn't responded to subsequent messages. The plan says 70 million pounds at least three times. Asked if Explo Systems misled the Army and could face charges, Abney, the Army spokesman, would say only that investigations are ongoing. But he reiterated the plan was for Explo to sell the material. "I don't think anybody dreamed of them storing that much," Abney said.

text: 4.5 BEST GAME EVER! mrhappy1977 | 29/04/2013 | See all mrhappy1977's reviews (13) This game is A1 in all departments from start to finish. I have played (and completed) all 3 in the franchise and they just kept getting better. The story is deep and meaningful, you actually start to care/love/hate all the different correcteurs. Graphics are amazing, where the cut scene's are seamless. I could go on forever about how great this game is, all I can say is buy it, play it, you'll love it. To sum up it would be worth buying a PS3 just for the Uncharted series.

Pasha Hawaii contracted with VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula, Miss., for construction of a second pure car/truck carrier for use in the ocean carrier's West Coast-Hawaii service.
The ship's base price is $144 million; delivery is projected for the fall of 2013. The contract includes an option for a sister ship priced at $137 million. Pasha said it is negotiating with several sources for financing.
Roll-on, roll-off news from JOC:
Wilh. Wilhelmsen Boosts Profit 13.5 Percent
The new ship will allow Pasha Hawaii to expand its West Coast-Hawaii service to weekly. The carrier's first vessel, the Jean Anne, entered service in March 2005. Pasha Hawaii carries vehicles, yachts, heavy machinery, and oversized cargo.
The newly ordered vessel will be the second roll-on, roll-off car/truck carrier built by VT Halter for Pasha Hawaii based on a design by Croatia's Uljanik Shipyard.

Valve Rolls Out Game Broadcasting Service For Steam 92
Posted by Soulskill

from the it's-the-new-espn dept.
An anonymous reader writes: Streaming live video game footage has become increasingly popular over the past several years — popular enough that Amazon was willing to shell out $970 million for Twitch.tv. Now, Valve has announced a rival: Steam Broadcasting. Users signing up for the beta test have the option to broadcast the game they're playing. They have several options about who can see their stream: invite-only, friends only, and publicly visible. Viewing a stream is currently supported by the Steam client itself, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari. It only works on Windows 7 and 8 at this point, but Valve promises support on Linux, OS X, and Windows Vista in the future.

NotesAn Exqisite Rose-infused Milkshake
I make this nourishing drink during our Fasting month when quenching the need of an "ever pressing thirst." It is so delectably dreamy and possibly is one way of getting part of your required Vitamin D. Both children and adults alike would savor this drink immensely and here overindulgence could very well supercede constraint!
This recipe was handed down by my Mom to me and all her elders even before her Grandmother! I have altered the ingredient list a little to suit my taste and is still as delicious as the original.

Newcastle are continuing to show an interest in midfielder Clement Grenier, who is facing an uncertain future with Lyon.
The Magpies have been tracking Grenier for some time and rumours went into overdrive on Tuesday suggesting he was heading to Tyneside to undergo a medical.Such reports have been dismissed in France and it is claimed that Newcastle have yet to make a bid for the player, who is also wanted by Italian giants AC Milan.However Toon boss Alan Pardew remains in the hunt and there is still a chance a deal could happen if they match Lyon's valuation."We cannot talk about compensating for his potential departure," Lyon boss Hubert Fournier said. "Due to his talent, we will not find somebody on the market to replace him because of our financial means."We will adapt appropriately if he leaves. For the moment, we have not had any satisfying offers."There have been propositions because he is a quality player who is wanted a lot around the world. But they were not perceived to be adequate by the club."Pardew has had a busy summer but his spending spree is not over yet and Grenier could be the next player to arrive in the north east.

Promoting education and achievement of adults learning English
Services - Professional Development Workshops
English for Civic Life: Designing and Delivering Effective EL/Civics Instruction
The Department of Education's English Literacy/Civics Education initiative enables adult education programs to provide targeted instruction to English learners who intend to seek U.S. citizenship. To be effective, this instruction needs to promote language learning along with knowledge of civics content. CAL's English for Civic Life training enables educators working with adults at all levels of English proficiency to integrate language learning objectives with content learning objectives so that learners acquire both the knowledge of civic rights and responsibilities and the reading and oral skills they need to become engaged, empowered members of U.S. society.
The workshop begins with a discussion of the differences between EL/Civics and Citizenship, focusing on instructional methods, funding, expected outcomes, and the content that EL/Civics instruction should include. Through readings, activities, and strategic planning, participants prepare to assess their learners' strengths and needs in civics content, design instruction that integrates language skill development with content learning, and assess learners' progress. They explore online and print-based sources of information on U.S. history and government, civic participation and responsibility, and obtaining citizenship, and develop strategies for using these with their learners. As an assignment, they try out selected strategies with their adult learners and share the results with other participants. They also develop techniques for evaluating the effectiveness of EL/Civics instruction in terms of learner understanding and outcomes.
Participants are able to
- Evaluate and adapt civics material from print and online sources for use with their learners
- Develop and deliver EL/Civics instruction that effectively combines development of English language skills with learning of key civics content
- Evaluate learners' development of content knowledge and language proficiency
Expected Outcomes
Participants are able to
- Differentiate between Citizenship instruction and EL/Civics instruction
- Describe the needed content of EL/Civics classes and cite print and online resources that provide information and strategies to use with learners at all levels of oral and reading proficiency from beginning through advanced
- Explain needs assessment strategies they can use to determine their students' EL/Civics strengths and challenges
- Evaluate the reading levels of civics content materials and select or adapt those that are appropriate to their students' current language levels and learning goals
- Identify 3-5 strategies for integrating language and culture instruction in the EL/Civics classroom and describe how they might use these strategies in their own instructional contexts
- Discuss 3-5 desired outcomes of EL/Civics instruction and how those outcomes can be assessed

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- And so it begins. At last, John Malone's mission to roll-up the cable industry and create a broadband provider bigger than any phone company, one with the power to tame the Internet and make it more like the cable and phone systems that existed before the Web was spun.
Charter Communications' (CHTR) $61 billion bid for Time Warner Cable (TWC) was quickly rejected as inadequate but that was to be expected.
Truth be told, it is inadequate. The offer price of $132.50 a share, much of it in cash, is lower than Time Warner Cable's valuation at the start of the year.
What the newly released letter from Charter CEO Tom Rutledge to Time Warner Cable CEO Robert Marcus shows is that Charter has been working to make this deal happen since last June.
Charter's view is that the gains in Time Warner Cable shares since that time (the stock was trading in the low-$90s) are due entirely to Charter's interest, and should now be locked in.

Modern Family Review: Dirty Little Secretsby Leigh Raines at . Comments
Even the closest of loved ones don't know every little thing about each other. In "Virgin Territory," those on Modern Family uncovered secrets both new and old that managed to shake things up.
Usually it's a raucous dinner filled with wine and martinis that leads to spilling secrets, but in this case brunch was all it took for the Pritchetts and Dunphys to get the ball rolling. While the old school secrets about Claire leaving the convertible top down in the rain, were certainly entertaining, it was the newer stuff that I really loved.
Modern Day Secrets
Claire fakes going to yoga in order to go to a shooting range. She finally let Gloria in and, naturally, she showed her that she could hit the bullseye on the first try. Why am I not surprised? What a great revelation about Claire. One would totally buy the notion that she goes to yoga to unwind. On closer inspection, a couple of namastes aren't going to de-stress Claire Dunphy, though.
Elsewhere, Cam faked a back injury to get alone time in Claire's house to find his tupperware. This one is just a duh. Cam would totally do that. But what on earth made him think that balancing on the silverware drawer could possibly be a good idea? That could barely support Claire's weight, let alone Cam's.
Hands down, the biggest secret in this episode was Phil finding out that Haley's not a virgin. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Maybe it didn't spark a lot of laughs, but I found it so realistic and touching the way they danced around saying what really happened by using analogies. Haley is a good daughter and Phil is a great dad.
The moment was going to be awkward no matter what. One thing I did find humorous, however, was that Claire dragged a confession out of Dylan. I'd be more scared of her than Phil if I were dating Haley! As far as Claire hiding this secret for three months, can't say I'm surprised.
While Jay finding out he never made a hole in one wasn't a funny moment, the stuff between him and Mitchell was very sweet. I like when they bond because they are both so stubborn and closed up.
Thelma and Luke-ise
What would an episode of Modern Family be without a few giggles?
First of all Manny's description of his crush was one of the funniest lines I've heard in awhile. Luke is really the comedy underdog of this series, though. Just don't call him crazy.
Lastly, the BEST part was when they rode past the girl's house going five miles an hour with gangsta rap blasting. And then backward again. Perfection.
I found this episode to be the perfect combination of funny and heartwarming. It never hurts to add realistic moments in every once in awhile. That's what Modern Family is good at and I'm glad they embraced it so well this week. What did you all think? Hit the comments!
Leigh Raines is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Modern Family, Reviews
no one has mentioned Lily getting the laughs at brunch (she is a great character and actor, timing is always good) and luke and manny plotting to take her down! that was truly funny. course everything in this show is just great. best sitcom in years. really miss Cougar town being with it. the awful and unfunny "happy ending's" is just sad.
@ModFam If you don't know what Statute of Limitations means, you should go back to elementary school.
i liked the episode! but how did everyone, including luke and manny, know what 'statute of limitations' meant? is it just me or is that term not that common of knowledge? anyways, definitely enjoyable overall.
Best and only watchable 30 min s*itcom on network television , even though I dvr and ff anytime the super annoying Phil character's face is on the screen. All the others are fine.... But compared to Californication, Big C, House of Lies, even Louie.....you can not be serious !!!!!
I laughed so hard last night and again just now reading the review where you talked about Manny and Luke driving past the girl Manny likes...it was the best!
I liked everything about this episode!! They handled the virgin thing really well
One of the funniest parts was the doll that looked just like Alex...I knew before she turned her around it would look like her...if those dolls are really $200 that is nuts!
There were a couple comments made that I found funny but some may get offended by so I will not repeat them!
Wow. Those scenes between Haley and Phil kind of made my eyes leak a bit. This manner of understating the obvious has a power all its own - and speaks to the great writing for this series. Just when you think an episode is going to be predictable (ref: Claire not wanting Gloria to join in her "yoga") it comes up with something completely out of left field. I love the fact that Clair de-stresses by firing off guns. And it fits perfectly with her character. It's great that Gloria could join her in this too.
It was a pretty good episode. Not as funny as last week's but still good! I especially liked how Phil handled Haley. That was nice to watch.
Good (not great) episode but this season overall has been somewhat weak. Here's hoping this week's upward trend continues.
I loved this episode! Luke's cookie contraption was awesome.
I like the fact, the doll look like her !!!

Susan says: "I test-rode a pair of these gloves before we placed an order for them to be carried here on the website. I was so thoroughly impressed that despite the gloves being available only in men's sizes, I decided we needed to stock them. All winter I suffer from terribly cold hands. These gloves are one of the few that have kept me warm and dry. The Primaloft insulation is warm, but lightweight and non-bulky. And the waterproof membrane held up to even the worst Pacific Northwest rain. Best of all, on the coldest days I could even add a super thin wool liner glove (like the one from Ibex that we carry) and get some additional degrees of protection. If you suffer from cold hands like I do, you definitely should give these gloves a try!"

for The Best Winter Glove Ever! by Pearl Izumi (4 reviews)
Update to earlier review
I wrote earlier that I had problems with these for use in weather below 25 degrees. As the winter wore on, I was able to ride comfortably into temps in the teens. I wore the liners and made sure the gloves were not pulled on all the way (if they were, they were too tight and didn't retain heat--see my earlier note about sizing). The problem I originally had with freezing fingers was happening if I took the gloves off and they got cold. In that case, they'd take forever/until I was sweating to warm up to the point at which my hands weren't painfully cold. If I was able to leave a warm house/public place with them on and not take them off, I was fine. Moral of the story: make sure they're good and toasty before you put them on. If it's below freezing, your hands are cold, and you allow the gloves to get cold, expect to have painfully frozen fingers for about 15 to 20 minutes. Maybe this is true for all gloves and that's why lobster claws are more common for subzero temps? And I agree that these are good in rain. Wearing these in 33 degrees and rain, I had no problems.

Super warm!
I have Raynaud's and was miserable cycling during winter in the low 30ºs. These gloves are the warmest ones I have.
The downside to these gloves is:
a) They are designed for men, and even the recommended small is a little large;
b) They don't have any padding (can easily be resolved with a padded glove underneath. Depending on the glove you choose underneath it'll be as warm or colder than with the liner supplied with your purchase)
c) Expect them to get a bit dirty, as they do have white material in between the fingers.
They seem designed for mountain bike use, but work well on the road.

Be sure to buy up a size
I love these gloves above 25 degrees without the liners. Light and warm.
However, be careful when you select your size! I bought an XS and a S and returned the S. But once I rode (road bike with forward, low position), I found out the gloves are too tight with the liners in while riding on the hoods. That position pulls the fingers in too much, which means that you lose the warm air cushion at the fingertips. So I can wear the gloves without the liners, but then it has to be above 25 degrees. I just went for a 1.5 mile ride in 15 degree weather without the liners, and my fingers were painfully frozen.
So I like the gloves' weight and reflectivity. Shifting in them is OK. But breaking can be somewhat awkward--not enough reach to hold handlebar and reach fingers forward to break (integrated shifters) without glove pulling against thumb. And just not as warm as I thought they'd be, though sizing up and wearing the liner would probably help some.

Perfect for cold weather but big sizing
Although these were listed as an XS male glove and the measurements were correct. They were much too large for me and they have been gratefully received by someone with slightly larger hands.

The Venture Bros. returns to Adult Swim this Sunday at midnight, after an excruciating 924-day gap between new episodes (a 2012 Halloween episode notwithstanding). For certain fans, it never really left: Like Arrested Development, the show is a visual and verbal thicket, beckoning a second or third or 15th viewing. "Certain fans," though, refers to a relatively small group of people. The quick dialogue, manic interlocking plotlines, and fanboy dalliances like this Klaus Nomi cameo make the show exhilarating and addictively re-watchable for anyone who'll let themselves be sucked into its fully realized universe—even if they've condemned it to a midnight slot on a network that insists on airing solid blocks of Family Guy reruns almost every night. Creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer don't seem to want or even need an Arrested-sized following. But their series deserves one.
It's a show about super science, boy adventurers, and how David Bowie secretly runs a guild for super villains. But it's also about evil and obsession and American decline, about the tragic futility of bridging some of life's greatest emotional distances, and about the possibility of overcoming failure and regret.
Venture Bros. premiered in 2004 as a straightforward parody of Johnny Quest, but quickly transformed into something much greater. The titular brothers are the hapless teenage sons of Dr. Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture, a balding failure of a "super scientist" living off the reflected glory of his childhood, when his father, the late, great Dr. Jonas Venture, dragged him along on a series of super-science-ey escapades that were immortalized in a Quest-style children's cartoon.
Child celebrity and super science turned our antihero into a damaged wreck of an adult. This isn't the life that Rusty might have chosen for himself. But for deep and plainly Freudian reasons (check out a Season Three episode called "The Doctor Is Sin") it is the life that he's chosen for his children, the lovably inept Hank and Dean, who are conscripted into their father's dangerous yet often-pathetic misadventures and live on a '60s space-age super scientist's compound that they're basically never allowed to leave unsupervised. But this protectiveness might be for the best, as the Ventures have to fight off occasional attacks from The Monarch, a deeply neurotic and butterfly-themed villain who harbors a pathological hatred of Dr. Venture that I really hope the show never gets around to fully explaining—the most fascinating thing about Venture Bros. main villain is the simultaneous intensity and utter pointlessness of his rage. Luckily for the Ventures, the family bodyguard is a killing machine named Brock Sampson, the show's moral center and an agent of the hilariously named Office of Secret Intelligence, who is himself stuck in a bit of of a mid-career rut.
These core players live within a sprawling, Simpsons-like world. In Springfield, even a throwaway line from the Comic Book Guy could carry a universe of pathos. Similarly, it's hard to think of a recurring Venture Bros. character—of which there are several dozen—who's totally one-dimensional, or conjured simply to be the butt of easy jokes. Venture Bros. works hard for its laughs, so instead, viewers meet the likes of Dr. Henry Killinger, a freelance business consultant and Nietzschean ubermensch toting a Mary Poppins-style flying umbrella, and Billy Quizboy, a former boy genius who's repeatedly kidnapped in order to perform illegal surgeries. There's Dr. Jonas Venture, Jr., a (rather insufferable) super scientist badass who is everything his half-brother Rusty will never be. There's Dermott, Hank's doofus best friend, and Triana, dean's unrequited crush and, the closest thing to a normal person in the entire series—a self-aware inclusion that a lesser show might have found unnecessary.
A show about super science, boy adventurers, and how David Bowie secretly runs a guild for super villains.
Venture Bros.' brilliance lies partly in this ability to connect its Saturday morning cartoon zaniness back to things that are normal and tangible, much in the same way that say, The Larry Sanders Show used the absurdities of celebrity as an entry into psychological territory that was often disquietingly familiar. Behind everything, Venture Bros. is about a family coming to grips with itself (the Season Three finale is appropriately entitled "The Family that Slays Together, Stays Together"). I'm not really that interested in whether Monstroso and Molotov survived their tumble off a mountaintop in the fourth season finale. For me, the real cliffhanger had to do with Hank and Dean, interchangeable dunces who grow into frustrated, hormonal young men over the course of the season. In Season Four, we learn that, contrary to his dad's expectations, Dean would rather be a newspaper reporter than a super-scientist. An increasingly moody Hank spent all of the last season in open rebellion against a father who seemed to have given up on him—even as Dr. Venture starts to show some actual love for his problematic offspring, thanks to developments that are too complicated and spoiler-laden to explain (OK mild spoiler alert: clones are involved). Venture Bros. concerns itself with universal themes, but never in a way that's eye-rolling or mawkish. It earns its references to lowbrow sci fi, action cartoons, and The Human League—it can pull off convoluted in-jokes, because it isn't primarily about the in-jokes.

Muslim fighters holding scores of hostages in the southern Philippines have demanded international mediation, according to a Philippine official.
The rebels, angered by a broken peace deal with the government, are using a dozen of the civilian hostages as human shields near the port city of Zamboanga.
Troops surrounded the fighters and their hostages in four coastal villages on Wednesday.
In another part of the city, three wounded rebels were arrested after exchanging gunfire with police manning a road block to stop the rebels from occupying other districts.
Last month, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) issued new threats to secede by establishing its own republic.
However, its leader, Nur Misuari, has not appeared in public or issued any statement since about 200 of his alleged followers barged into Zamboanga City's coast early on Monday and clashed with soldiers and police.
The fighting left at least nine people dead and several wounded.
The rebels took scores of residents hostage, holding them in houses and a mosque that have been ringed by troops.
President Benigno Aquino III said the top priority was the safety of the hostages and residents of the city.
Mar Roxas, Philippine interior secretary, said officials had opened talks with the rebels "at different levels", including a commander loyal to Misuari, but added there had been no breakthrough.
The MNLF signed a 1996 peace accord with the government, but many of its fighters held on to their arms and accused officials of reneging on a promise to develop an autonomous region for minority Muslims in the south of the predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines.
The group has said it was being left out in government's negotiations with another fighter group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which broke away from the MNLF in the early 1980s.
The 11,000-strong MNLF has engaged the Philippine government in Malaysian-brokered peace talks, which have progressed recently towards a new Muslim autonomy deal.
The decades-old insurgency by Muslim fighters in the southern Philippines has killed about 150,000 people.

Sources from within Nintendo told the Japan Times this morning that Nintendo will be making a tool for developers to port games from smartphone platforms like iOS and Android to the struggling Wii U.
The anonymous sources claim that increasing the availability of popular smartphone games on Nintendo's Wii U will get more third-party developers excited about the system, something that Nintendo has failed to do so far. The Wii U is currently struggling worldwide, being regularly outsold by the aging competition and the original Wii console. Nintendo blamed its second operating loss in company history last month on the Wii U's poor performance.
As stated in the headline, this is all still just a rumor at this point. However, it is clear to people outside the company that Nintendo needs to make these sorts of moves to engage third party developers. If the management at Nintendo also realizes this, the Wii U may just have some fight left in it.
I will update this story as more details come to light.
