Clay Regazzoni, who died in a road accident in December, will be remembered as one of Formula One racings great characters. An archetypal racer, during his ten-year career Regazzoni won the lasting admiration of peers and fans alike.
Born in Switzerland in 1939, Regazzoni began racing in the mid-1960s. After racking up several wins in lesser series, he clinched the European Formula Two championship in 1970 and, as a result, secured a trial Formula One drive with Ferrari for that years Dutch Grand Prix.
After memorably crossing the finish line fourth on his debut appearance, Regazzoni would score his maiden win at Ferraris home race in Monza just four rounds later. The victory not only won him a legion of Italian fans, but also firmly established his reputation in the paddock. He went onto make another seven race appearances for Ferrari that year and, after finishing third in the driver standings, was duly rewarded with a permanent contract for 1971.
But the next two seasons proved far less successful and as the results dwindled, Regazzoni got itchy feet and left for a seat with BRM in 1973. The move, however, proved short lived and after finishing the year a disappointing 18th in the standings, the Swiss driver returned to Ferrari in 1974, neatly securing a seat for his BRM team mate Niki Lauda at the same time.
Back in his familiar red overalls, Regazzonis fortunes improved. To the delight of the tifosi, he scored a comeback win at the Nurburgring and appeared on the podium a further seven times. Going into the final race of the season at Watkins Glen he was just one point shy of championship leader Emerson Fittipaldi, but ultimately lost out to the Brazilian.
Although he won a further two times for Ferrari, at Monza in 1975 and at Long Beach in 1976, Regazzoni was increasingly overshadowed by his less experienced team mate Lauda. In 1977 he was dropped and replaced by upcoming Argentinean talent Carlos Reutemann. After struggling to find a seat, he eventually settled with Ensign, before switching to Shadow in 1978. Both teams were equally strapped for cash and as such significant results proved hard to come by.
After two years spent in the relative obscurity of the back of the field, Regazzoni was signed by Frank Williams to partner Australian Alan Jones. Aided by the Patrick Head-designed FW07, the move proved a masterstroke for team and driver alike. But while Regazzonis popular win at Silverstone was the first of many for Williams, it proved to be the Swiss drivers final crowning moment.
In 1980, replaced by Reutemann for a second time, Regazzoni returned to Ensign. With an improved car and bigger budget, the teams fortunes were on the up. But in Long Beach, whilst running fourth, Regazzoni crashed after a suspected brake failure. The resulting impact paralysed him from the waist down and ended his Formula one career.
Despite being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Regazzoni continued to race in other series in specially modified cars. He also carved out a new career as a well-respected Formula One commentator for Italian and Swiss television and remained a familiar face in the paddock until his untimely death at the age of 67.

- What's Included
Normally, most amplifiers can easily drive between four and 16 ohms of speakers. With each speaker added to an amplifier, the impedance level drops by half. If you hook two 8-ohm speakers up to an amplifier in parallel, the amplifier actually sees an equivalent resistance of 4-ohms. Hooking three pairs to one amplifier, the equivalent impedance is 2.6 ohms, which is too low for most amplifiers to operate properly. For the engineers in the crowd, the most commonly used formula in the speaker industry is 1/R(total) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + etc. (R is the resistance of a speaker).
When this Impedance Matching Volume control is used between a set of speakers and an amplifier, the volume control can present a higher impedance level for the amplifier to see. Once all the higher impedance volume controls are added up, you're back to a safe level for your amplifier.
Use this volume control in parallel with up to 16 pairs of speakers. You can set the unit to provide an impedance load of 16, 32, 64 ohms, etc. At 16 ohms you can wire 2 pairs of speakers in parallel and still have an 8-ohm load for your amplifier. At 64 ohms you can wire 8 pairs of speakers and provide a 4-ohm load and so on. A jumper on the volume control allows easy setting of the volume control's impedance level.
The volume control has a frequency response of 20 - 20,000Hz response and supports up to 100 Watts RMS per channel. The volume control has 12 volume steps and the last position is a mechanical off so no sound will come from your speakers when the volume control is turned off. It accepts up to 14-gauge wire and includes a trim plate.
Manufacturer: Xantech Manufacturer Product No.: XVCD100 UPC: 04277731428 Power Handling: 100 Watts continuous Impedance Matching: Adjustable for up to 8 speaker pairs (1, 2, 4, 8 pairs) Attenuation: 11 steps plus Off; max 42 dB Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz +/-1 dB Speaker Terminals: 14 gauge, Quick Connect (detachable) Mounting: Minimum 20 cu. in.

Rating Works very well. Only complaint could be it's very deep. I used an old work box, and had to clip some of the back out, as this switch was too deep to fit in. It's very heavy, that's why i wanted a full box, rather than just a low voltage ring.

In the issue, on newsstands Friday, Lopez talks about dieting, her two twins and how she loves being a no-makeup kind of mom.
"That's when I'm my happiest," she told the magazine. "Just being able to touch my face and rub my eyes and put my fingers in my hair and not having to worry about messing it up. It's so much better."

So, today is the day that Joel and I marked as her birthday! When we picked her up from the high kill shelter On August 26, 20011, they explained that she was 11 weeks old. We later found out that she was a mere 4 weeks old when we took her home. So we counted back a month, and said that this would be her day!
I cannot believe how much fun we've had with this little ball of energy! She really completes our family and brings us so much happiness and love.
You can read about the day we brought her home here. Since then, she has put a dent in our wallet by eating our carpet, and has brought us so much laughter! You can read some of her other posts here.
Rayne is a huge part of our life and even though she is bad at times, we still love her so much. I really hope she lives a long life with us and that our children can meet her one day. I am totally envisioning a Marley and Me moment when Rayne will greet our children by the driveway and walk them to the house. I look forward to that day :)

This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
This is the lifestyle that the headphones are designed for. Each style has unique features that make it perfect for particular people.

GTCR Work Week
Work Week spots for 2015 will be filled by raffle.
If interested please send an email to email@example.com between February 15 and March 15, 2015, (emails outside of those dates will not be counted). Please include a little about yourself, maintenance skills, instrument played, favorite color etc. Your name will be entered into the drawing and winners will be contacted by the end of March. A wait list will also be generated.
Have a great winter and we look forward to seeing you in June.
The theme for Work Week 2015 is Cabin Staining. Please bring your best staining outfit and an desire to use a paintbrush.
Work Week will be held at the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch this year from Monday, June 1 through Friday, June 5. Work Week is an annual tradition at the Climbers' Ranch during which general maintenance is performed to prepare for the summer season. The ranch opens to the public on June 6. Work Week projects include clean-up of the cabins and property, staining cabins, minor plumbing and carpentry repairs, painting window, door, and screen frames, etc. Skill and experience are welcome but not required. Volunteers are served at least one generous meal each day, courtesy of the ranch. Work Week volunteers are also entitled to stay at the ranch for a period of time during the month of June. Begin your summer with June in the Tetons!
Work Week 2014 was a great success. Please join us in 2015.
Work week is an opportunity for volunteers to help prepare the Ranch for opening in exchange for some free lodging during the month of June. Each year volunteers—skilled and unskilled—donate their time to help with everything from routine maintenance issues (fixing leaky toilets, testing smoke detectors, and setting parking lot logs) to capital projects (building cabinets and staining cabins). To qualify for free lodging later in the month you must have worked each of the five days of work week.
Of course, work week is also about rekindling old friendships… and making new ones.
The 2011 Work Week was June 6 - 10. Read more about Work Weeks on the Friends of the GTCR page on on The Club's blog, Inclined.
"What a fantastic time at Work Week 2011! it's easy to become a lifer for the Ranch. Had I know about the Ranch last summer, I would have not crawled into the back of my truck to shiver at the back of the bagel shop in Wilson after enduring a torrential down pour and an earthquake coming off the Grand... a warm shower would have been sooooo nice... now I know better!"

Dear Tax Talk: I am permanently disabled beginning this tax year (2007), and can't work. I will be receiving income from a private disability insurance policy, as well as Social Security disability benefits. Does the IRS or the state of Georgia require taxes to be paid on this income? It's not workers' compensation. If taxes are required, are tax credits or any special treatment given to this income? Thanks in advance. -- Gaines
Dear Gaines, Amounts you receive under a private disability policy are not taxable to you. If your employer had paid the premiums, then the disability income would be taxable, except in the case of workers' compensation benefits.
If your plan reimbursed you for medical expenses you deducted in an earlier year, you may have to include some, or all, of the reimbursement in your income.
Similarly, if the plan pays for medical expenses, you cannot deduct those costs. For example, if the plan pays $100 per day for nursing care, you cannot deduct up to $100 of nursing care.
Social Security benefits are taxable income if your modified adjusted gross income exceeds a certain threshold. Social Security benefits include monthly retirement, survivor and disability benefits. They do not include supplemental security income, or SSI, payments, which are not taxable.
To find out whether any of your benefits may be taxable, compare the threshold for your filing status with the total of one-half of your benefits, plus all your other income, including tax-exempt interest.
You would not include your disability payments as income, as they are not taxable. Your threshold depends on your filing status.
Generally, states follow federal rules in determining what is considered taxable income. If your only income comes from the private disability policy and Social Security benefits, you would owe no taxes.
To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein. Taxpayers should seek professional advice based on their particular circumstances.

London: Thousands of bells, big and small, rang out across Britain for three minutes today as the country prepared for the London Olympics opening ceremony later in the day.
In Focus | Olympics London 2012
Britain rings in 2012 Games
Country marks beginning of Olympics with nation-wide peal of bells

- The royal barge Gloriana carries the Olympic flame along the river Thames, ahead of the 2012 Summer Olympics, on the final day of the Torch Relay, Friday, July 27, 2012, in London.
Churches across the UK and British embassies around the world got into the spirit of the bell-ringing extravaganza, devised by artist Martin Creed as part of a 12-week programme of cultural events celebrating the arts alongside sport.
People were encouraged to ring any kind of bell — from a church, a bicycle, a door and even a mobile phone as the harmonious ringing spread from Wales in the west to Weymouth in the south.
Big Ben participates
One of the biggest bells taking part was London's Big Ben in parliament's clock tower, the first time it has rung outside its regular hours since the funeral of King George VI in 1952.
It chimed about 40 times between 8.12am and 8.15am after special permission was granted by parliament.
Creed, who won the famous Turner prize with an installation of lights going on and off in an empty room, said: "All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes."
"It was open to anyone to take part," he told BBC television.
"I was thinking of trying to make something like a sculpture or something for the Olympics, but I was thinking to look at something you have to go to the place to look at it.
"I thought that maybe if I did something with music or making a noise, it could go out across the city, you know, and across the country."
More than 10 million listeners were expected to have tuned in to the live broadcasts shown on TV, radio and online. The BBC showed British Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt ringing handheld bells at an event on London's HMS Belfast ship on the River Thames.
In Beijing, the British embassy rang its bell which was cast in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee while staff at the High Commission in Bangladesh rang rickshaw bells.
In Brussels, the British ambassador rang the bell at the Belgian Stock Exchange to begin the day's trading.

The leading canopy supplier has found itself with an overabundance of summer stock that needs to be unloaded, which means canopies and pop-up tents are selling for cheap with additional discounts. Ace Canopy sales manager Steve Benson exclaimed, we had a massive summer, which meant also stockpiling lots of party tents, pop-up tents and various other types of outdoor canopies. So now we need to unload them to make room for our winter line of canopies."

BOARDING... At Canine Cabana, we pride ourselves in creating a boarding experience for dogs that is as close to home as possible. During the day dogs play and have fun with the staff and all the other dogs there for daycare and boarding. At night, each dog gets their dinner, one at a time, in the kitchen with our staff members. When it's time to settle in for the night, all of the dog beds get put out around a large, queen-sized human bed that rolls into the dog area in front of the television. The little dogs get to sleep in the human bed with the staff member, and the larger dogs can choose from large, fluffy dog beds, couches, or another roll-away bed that is placed next the staff bed, just in case they like to sleep in a human bed too.

The dormitory of the Sultana Kamal Women's Complex in Dhanmondi has been transformed into a virtual women's hostel as some 14 former athletes, including swimmer Dolly Akter, cricketers Nishat, Champa Chakma, Shipra and table tennis player Rahima, have been staying there day after day by exploiting a clause of the dormitory allotment policy of the National Sports Council (NSC).
As per clause 15 under the policy of hostel usage, a sportsperson individually may use the room at the dormitory for a maximum of seven days with the advance payment of government charges, but those athletes no longer tied to their sport have been using the dormitory for a long time while refusing to comply with any rules.
There have been allegations that these former athletes have flouted the rules by using different electronic devices in their respective rooms and returning to the dormitory after the designated curfew.
The matter came into light when Mohammedan women cricketers on Monday went to stay there ahead of the women's cricket league and some 16 women cricketers were put up in a single room because of room shortage as those former athletes -- who now work at different organisations and schools -- have been staying there for a long time.
Ayesha Begum, administrator of Women's Complex, admitted the fact to reporters and said that those athletes have been renting dormitory rooms and they cannot accommodate other current athletes due to unavailability of rooms.
NSC secretary Sibnath Roy however said that they are going to follow the NSC policy strictly and force them to leave the dormitory and solve the problem immediately.
Not only the dormitory of the Women's Complex, some sports organisers have also occupied four rooms at the old building of the NSC over the last three years while a badminton official has been in a room at the Maulna Bhasani Hockey Stadium for the last 10 years, taking up the space for the athletes, but the NSC officials have taken no action regarding this.

MB Financial Bank Bike the Drive is coming up fast! If you haven't registered yet or you're not able to register until after today, a great way to avoid the long packet pick-up lines on the day of the event is to go to one of the packet pick-up parties!
On Friday May 17 and Saturday 18, you can get your packet at a new location in the Chicago suburbs: MB Financial Park in Rosemont near O'Hare Airport.
Located near the junction of I-294 and I-90, it's easily accessible by car from many directions. And if you're coming from the city, the Rosemont Blue Line stop deposits you a short walk away.
Our partners MB Financial Bank, Kozy's Cyclery and REI will be on hand with information about personal finances, bike maintenance and new bike-related products.
Local businesses at the park have come up with some enticing offers for event participants:
We can't wait to see you there!
I don't find the Rosemont location convenient in any sense of the word for picking up our packets. Heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic around the convention center with no obvious place to park to conduct a 3 minute transaction. Also, would it be that difficult to include on the web site a little more information such as instructions to park in the garage and obtain a ticket validation so you don't incur the $13.00 parking fee?
My little brother was nice enough to stop by the mb financial park in rosemont to pick up my husbands and my packet since he works at o'hare and he could not figure out where to go. He paid to park and walked around and even asked some employees and noone knew what he was talking about. Could you please give me a specific location to send him to? Thank you.

The British Airports Authority (BAA) is the world's leading airport company with over 140 million passengers travelling via BAA airports in 2004 (source: www.BAA.co.uk/factsandfigures). BAA pioneered airport privatisation, retailing and security; it is widely recognised for its responsible and efficient airport operations. BAA owns seven of Britain's major airports they include Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southampton, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The British Airports Authority was formed in 1986 when the airports act was passed, calling for dissolution of the authority and the transfer of its property, rights and liabilities to a new company, BAA plc. For the year ending 31 March 2004 BAA directly employed 12,533 staff (source: www.BAA.co.uk/factsandfigures).

Bar offices closed Offices at the Bar building will be closed Friday, April 22. Advance Sheet update April 20, 2011 Hutchinson sued Liberty Life Insurance Co. (Liberty) after being denied life insurance proceeds due to a policy exclusion for injury resulting from the use of narcotics. The decedent was under the influence of methamphetamine. At a hearing, Hutchinson presented expert testimony that methamphetamine was not a narcotic, and the circuit court granted Hutchinson's motion for summary judgment. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded, finding that the trial court erred in adopting a specialized medical definition of the term "narcotic" in the context of an insurance policy written for laypersons, as opposed to the plain and ordinary meaning of "narcotic" as understood by laypersons. Hutchinson v. Liberty Life Ins. Co., No. 4820, is available online. Peter Brown, a Medicaid recipient, appealed the termination of a portion of his Medicaid-covered services. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Hearing Officer determined he did not have subject matter jurisdiction to hear Brown's appeal. The Administrative Law Court (ALC) affirmed the hearing officer's decision and rejected Brown's argument regarding the definition of the services. On appeal, the court found that a DHHS hearing officer has subject matter jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the denial, termination, suspension or reduction of a service or benefit which the individual alleges is covered by Medicaid. The court reversed the ALC and its application of an incorrect legal standard to establish jurisdiction, vacated the remainder of the order, and remanded to DHHS for a hearing on the merits in accordance with its opinion and pursuant to 42 C.F.R. Section 431.220(a)(1)-(2). Brown v. SCDHHS, No. 4821, is available online. Jones was charged as a juvenile with murder, armed robbery and unlawful possession of a pistol. The family court waived jurisdiction and ordered he be treated as an adult. Jones then pled guilty in the circuit court to a lesser charge pursuant to a plea agreement. On appeal, Jones contended that the family court erred in waiving jurisdiction because it did not properly apply the Kent factors. Kent v. United States, 383 U.S. 541, 566-67 (1966). He also contended the family court erred in admitting a statement he gave to police because his mother was not present during the interrogation or when he signed the waiver of rights form. The court affirmed, finding the family court did not abuse its discretion in waiving jurisdiction. Additionally, Jones's argument regarding the officer inducing him to make a statement was not preserved. Further, Jones's argument about his mother's failure to be present during his questioning or signing of his statement was abandoned. State v. Jones, No. 4822, is available online. Burgess appealed from his conviction for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, alleging the arresting officer lacked authority to make an arrest outside the town limits and questioning the validity of a multijurisdictional narcotics enforcement agreement. The court found the agreement was valid and that the officer had authority to arrest Burgess. Burgess had also sought to introduce the officer's employment records as evidence of bias and motive to misrepresent, but the trial judge denied the request. The court found the judge's decision to exclude the evidence was within his discretion. Lastly, as to the objection to the exclusion of a "mere presence" jury charge, the court held it was unnecessary in this case. State v. Burgess, No. 4823, is available online. In this workers' compensation case, Hanson Brick America and Zurich North America (Appellants) argued (1) the circuit court engaged in improper fact finding, (2) substantial evidence supported the Appellate Panel's decision, (3) the Appellate Panel made sufficiently detailed findings of fact, and (4) the circuit court improperly relied on late-filed medical evidence. The court reversed the circuit court's determination that Lawson was entitled to temporary total disability benefits and further evaluation of his knees. The court remanded to the Appellate Panel for a reconsideration of all evidence, including Dr. Johnson's medical report, to determine whether Lawson's knee problems were causally related to his back injury and whether Lawson was entitled to temporary total disability benefits. Lawson v. Hanson Brick America, Inc., No. 4824, is available online. Firm announcement Miller|Conway announces that Jacqueline K. Dixon has joined the firm located at 124 S.

Hi, I was wondering if your Alliance was Snell approved? Or any of your other helmets for that matter. Thanks.
Our helmets pass international standards (ECE, DOT, SAI, SG), and after extensive research have chosen not to certify our helmets to Snell standards. The ECE (European) standard is internationally recognized in 52 countries. Our helmets also pass DOT (United States), SAI (Autralia), and SG (Japan).

06 July 2012 – The Samsung Galaxy S3 or Samsung Galaxy SIII was announced in May 2012. The LG Optimus Vu was announced in February 2012.
The LG Optimus Vu is a large slate, similar to the size of the Samsung Galaxy Note. It runs on the older Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) but we would expect an Android 4.0 upgrade in due course. At the time of launch, LG promised the 4.0 upgrade in three months, but we haven't heard anything since then.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is obviously the successor to the very successful Galaxy S2, and we think that Samsung has made another super phone for the Android OS.
Both devices have 32GB of storage, and have 8-megapixel main cameras.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a large 4.8-inch screen, with 720 x 1280 pixels. In addition to having better resolution, it displays on a Super AMOLED screen while its rival uses the IPS LCD screen.
It is also one of the first phones to start accepting 64GB microSD cards, so there is a lot of storage inside this device.
As we mentioned earlier, the cameras of both devices are 8-megapixel ones, and they both record 1920x1080 (1080p HD) video. However, the S3 has a better front-facing camera (2 vs 1.3-megapixels).
The LG Optimus Vu has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen, as opposed to the Super AMOLED screen on the rival device.
The large screen has less pixels (768 x 1024 against 720 x 1280) and loses out in the pixel density stakes (256 vs 306 ppi).
LG Optimus Vu Screen Display is of the aspect ratio 4:3 whereas Samsung Galaxy SIII is 16:9.
It has a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor inside. The 1.4 GHz quad-core processor of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is therefore faster on paper.
The Vu is an LTE-capable device.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 retails for S$ 998 (this is the 16GB version), while the LG Optimus Vu is not yet in the market. That it is way late past its projected launch in Q1 2012 suggests that LG has not quite got its act together. Other LG devices are also way late to market and still on the older Android OS.
The S3 is only a tad smaller than the Vu, which has been termed a 'phablet'. If the Vu is at the same price with the Galaxy Note which is about a hundred ringgit less, than the S3 looks to be a better buy with the faster processor and the newer version of the Android OS.

Samsung Galaxy S III
3.5G HSDPA+ 21Mbps + WiFi 802.11 a/ b/g/n, Touchscreen candybar, 8.0 MP camera, 16/32 GB Memory + microSD (Up to 64GB), Android OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
The Samsung Galaxy S III is the successor of the Galaxy S II that runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with Samsung nature-inspired TouchWiz UI. It has a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 720 x 1280 resolution pixels, 1.4GHz Exynos quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM.
There is an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash that is capable of recording 1080p full HD video at 30fps and take photos simultaneously. It is also a quad-band device and supports HSPA+ (21Mbps), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, energy efficient Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS and GLONASS.

LG Optimus Vu
3.5G LTE + WiFi direct + 5.0-inch Touchscreen slate + 8MP camera + 32GB Internal Storage + Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
The LG Optimus Vu has a 5-inch IPS display with 1024 x 768 resolution pixels, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a 32GB internal storage and a 2080mAh battery.
It has an 8-megapixel main shooter with LED flash and a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera. Other features include LTE, WiFi Direct, HDMI and DLNA support.
On the surface, the Optimus Vu is slightly wider (90.4 vs 83 mm) than the Galaxy Note due to the standard ratio aspect 4:3 display that LG is using. It is also faintly thinner (8.5 vs 9.7mm) and lighter (168 vs 178g) than its competitor. Plus, the phone will be adopting a stylus-input technology.

Baby, It's Cold Outside
Australian newspaper columnist Andrew Bolt recently observed that there's an embarrassing gap between what the experts have long said the symptoms of global warming would look like and the bitter winters much of the world has experienced over the past few years.
Bolt assures us we haven't imagined this disconnect. He points to the 2007 climate bible written by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It told us that winters would be warmer and less extreme. I invite you to take a look for yourself. This table is titled Temperature-Related Phenomenon and appears on a page titled: Some Unifying Themes. The table contains phrases such as:
- more frequent heat waves / hot spells in summer
- more warm and fewer cold nights
- fewer frost days
- fewer cold outbreaks; fewer, shorter, less intense cold spells / cold extremes in winter [bold added]
Across from those phrases, on a case-by-case basis, the IPCC tells us these phenomenon are either "likely" or "very likely." So, for example, the IPCC said it was very likely that we'd experience fewer below-freezing days everywhere in the world. We were further assured that all of the IPCC's climate models are in agreement on that point.
Similarly, George Monbiot's 2006 book was titled Heat. Its subtitle was not: How to Stop the Planet from Freezing. Rather, it insisted the planet was in danger of burning. A year earlier, in a Guardian newspaper column, Monbiot told readers that "The freezes this country suffered in 1982 and 1963 are…unlikely to recur."
As the final two weeks of 2010 count down, reality is not being kind to these prognosticators. Instead of sugar dustings of snow and mild temperatures, many parts of the world are in the grip of another unusually harsh winter:
- new record-low temperatures are being set in a variety of locales, including: Cuba, China, Japan, the UK, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina
- snow and ice are stranding motorists in their cars in: Italy, China, the UK, Canada, and Indiana
- snow is interrupting air travel across Europe (more here with great pics)
- communities are coping with unusual amounts of snow from Helsinki to New York, from Minnesota to the UK
- people are dying of hypothermia in many parts of the US, including some unlikely ones: South Carolina, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin
- wildlife is being adversely affected by the cold in the UK as well as in Florida (more here)
In the UK a recent newspaper headline read: Millions facing fuel rationing over Christmas as heating oil runs low. In one of the world's wealthiest countries some households face a four-week-long wait for furnace oil shipments, and the price has nearly doubled. Rather than being warm and comfortable, many people will spend their holidays cold and miserable – not to mention worried that their water pipes might freeze and burst (more here). Meanwhile, a women's World Cup skiing event has been postponed due to too much snow in France.
Although the mass media barely mentioned this fact, it's more than a little ironic that the Mexican resort town of Cancun broke cold weather temperature records six days running during the United Nations' anti-global-warming summit earlier this month.
We've long been advised that the symptoms of climate change are all around us – and that global warming is happening faster than predicted. But Mother Nature, it seems, has a wicked sense of humour.
In related news, I love this headline on yesterday's Christopher Booker column in the UK Telegraph: It's 'the hottest year on record', as long as you don't take its temperature
Back in January I wrote a lengthy blog post examining snowfall in Britain over the past decade. In the year 2000 the Independent newspaper interviewed climate scientists and then advised the public that soon children wouldn't know what snow was. Global warming would result in "not only fewer white Christmases, but fewer white Januaries and Februaries." I examined every one of Britain's winters since the year 2000, however, and found no shortage of the white stuff.
UPDATE Dec. 20: A belated hat tip to Tom Nelson, who gathers climate change news stories together in one place. Many of the links embedded above came to my attention via Tom.
This blog has a donation button for another two weeks only. If you think my work contributes positively to the climate debate please consider buying me a holiday cocktail. (Read my longer appeal here.)

So, you've bought or been given a brand new deck now what?
First of all, there are many common myths about Tarot decks that we should clear up. One of the main myths is about acquiring the deck itself. It is completely acceptable to purchase a deck, even your first one, for yourself. Many people claim a first deck should be a gift and that it is somehow unlucky or unwise to purchase one. This is false and purchasing your own may actually be preferable. This allows you to look through several options and find the one that most speaks to you.
Secondly is a myth that you need to cleanse a brand new Tarot deck. This is not entirely true either, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't infuse that deck with your own energy. You can do this by looking through your cards one by one and really taking some time with them. Let their imagery speak to you and bring your imagination to life. Take notice of how they make you feel and how you respond to them. Move slowly and methodically through every card at least one time and that process should allow you to develop an intuitive connection. Do it more than once if you feel it necessary.
Should you purchase a used Tarot deck? This subject is often debated. Personally, I prefer to acquire new decks, however in the case of rare collectible Tarot I can certainly see how it might be fine to purchase a gently used deck. In this instance, I would thoroughly cleanse the cards of their energies before using them myself.
Storage and Use
Storing Tarot decks is as much about practicality and extending the life of your deck as it is about ritual. Make sure that your deck is stored in an environment that is free from humidity. If possible, wrap your deck in cloth before storing to help preserve the card stock. Wrapping the deck can also keep it protected from the influences of external energies. I keep my decks neatly wrapped or in specially designed deck boxes and place those inside a drawer.
Unfortunately, many of the decks printed in recent years have been reproduced on flimsy card stock that leaves a lot to be desired. It can be very frustrating to open a brand new deck and have your cards be the consistency of business card stock. For this reason, things like how you shuffle them become very important. I recommend learning to shuffle gently, never bending the cards and preferably not rifling them too much to extend their life.

Bus and train drivers in Greece started a 24-hour strike on Wednesday as the government in Athens neared a final vote on austerity measures, expected to come early Thursday morning.
At midday, several hundred people — predominantly civil servants from state organizations — gathered in front of parliament to protest against the looming cuts, chanting "thieves, thieves" and accusing politicians of having led Greece into bankruptcy.
But the turnout was far smaller than what organizers had hoped for, Greek media reported.
Legislators are considering a bill that would slash 6 billion euros (7.9 billion dollars) from the budget in an effort to bring the budget deficit down to 7.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
They have been debating the measure for five days.
The ruling Socialist government is expected to be able to force through the measure, given its wide majorities in the parliament.
The cuts are required as part of a bailout agreement reached with the European Union and International Monetary Fund, necessitated after the Greek deficit spiralled to 15.4 per cent of GDP and the previous government doctored figures to hide that shortfall.
Labour stoppages to protest the cuts have laid large parts of the Greek economy lame in recent weeks. Wednesday was no exception, as Greek commuters clogged streets in an effort to get to work without public transportation operational.
The rating agency Fitch, meanwhile, threatened on Tuesday night to downgrade Greece's credit rating to junk status. Its current BBB— rating is reportedly undergoing a review that is to be completed in January. BBB— is the lowest investment grade that Fitch awards.

Given its antiquity and varied cultural and religious life, India can be well understood through popular films made in its many distinct languages, particularly Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. Times, people, and traditions come alive and lead to a deep involvement of the viewer with issues that could not have come to the fore except through the medium of film.

Earlier this week, the Chicago Tribune covered how Chicago will get a taste of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) this year as the City implements elements of BRT on Jeffery Boulevard. This is an exciting development for public transit in Chicago, introducing new transit strategies to provide faster, more reliable and more convenient service. It lays the groundwork for upcoming BRT projects, where transit riders and all Chicagoans can and should ask for more.
Chicago has an incredible opportunity to improve transit and economic activity with the upcoming BRT project in the Western and Ashland corridor. In order to provide better service, BRT relies on bus-only lanes, full-service transit stations and high-tech traffic signals. Some people may resist dedicating even a small portion of our roadways to transit, but doing so makes a more efficient transportation network that benefits everyone. Chicago needs to make transit a priority on the streets in this corridor.
Our neighborhoods need better transit options! We urge the CTA and the aldermen in this corridor to include bus-only lanes and other transit improvements on Western and Ashland to provide world-class BRT service. Our city and state elected leaders also need to invest in better transit by finding funding for expanded service that meets the needs of the transit-riding public.
TAKE ACTION: Tell your alderman to prioritize transit with bus-only lanes!
The problem with the whole BRT project is that none of the three alternatives proposed by CTA will work:
1. Removing travel lanes will likely make a conjestion/bad pollution situation even worse (particularly on Ashland);
2. Reducing sidewalks will turn these streets into highway-like corridors that bisect neighborhoods; the sidewalks in many areas of these streets is already pretty narrow;
3. Removing parking will hurt residents who live along these corridors, many of whom are low income; Ashland in particular has residential areas with very dense residential zoning.
Overall, BRT seems like an ok idea, but when CTA talks about implementing it on Ashland and Western, it falls apart. If the BRT routes elminate parking for thousands of residents, make Ashland and Western look like the Kennedy Expressway, or, perhaps most damaging of all, make getting from place to place a lot more difficult for tens of thousands, I honestly think that this will be an issue for Emmanuel in the next election.
Something has to be removed on Western to make space for the bus-only lanes. At the public meeting, there were alternatives to remove on-street parking, reduce sidewalk widths, or remove travel lanes. I'm not sure how easy it will be to remove the on-street parking with the parking meter lease, but I guess that would be my preferred option. What do you think?
I think the meter lease really fouls things up. My ideal solution would be to tear down several foreclosed buildings throughout the neighborhoods and build metered parking ramps. This would get rid of the empty buildings that seem to attract crime, and provide the trade-off for the meters being taken off the street. And it's easier than parallel parking. But it's not a free solution.

First Liberty Power Board Announces Special Meeting Of Stockholders
Las Vegas, NV, July 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Liberty Power Corp. (OTCQB: FLPC), an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, announced a Special Meeting of Stockholders is proposed to take place on July 31, 2013.
According to FLPC Board Chairman, Robert Reynolds, the purpose of the meeting is to involve and seek approval from the FLPC stockholders in amending the Company's articles of incorporation to increase the total authorized capital from 540,000,000 to 3,000,000,000, as well as to create the ability to issue up to 10,000,000 preferred shares.
"The Company's board of directors has extensively reviewed FLPC's objectives pertaining to near term production goals, mid to long term exploration and operational development, and its ability to consider accretive acquisitions should they come forth," Reynolds said. "The outcome was that the board agreed that FLPC requires the ability to enter into possible future financing arrangements that are beneficial to the company and its stockholders - thus the requirement for an increase in the authorized capital. Also, to further mitigate the risk of future capital raising activities, the 10,000,000 preferred shares with flexible structuring are being proposed as a key option to help secure investments without harmful dilution."
Reynolds added, "In keeping with our Pathways of Progress initiative of encompassing best corporate practices and proactive decision-making to ensure the interests of FLPC investors, mining partners and stockholders, it was determined that the ideal approach is to directly involve and empower current FLPC stockholders in regards to determining the path forward. Furthermore, it is the judgement of management and the understanding of the board that this proposed modification to the structure will have the potential to create opportunities for near term beneficial financing opportunities." The Special Stockholder's Meeting for all stockholders of record on July 3, 2013 will be conducted at 2pm, July 31 2013 at our corporate offices, and we are welcoming all to attend. In the absence of being able to attend, we encourage all stockholders to submit their proxy form advising of their voting intention. Full information will be mailed to all stockholders, and will also be available on our website on or about July 19. In the meantime, our preliminary proxy information filing is available for review on via our website or directly with the SEC. FLPC will continue to use Pathways of Progress announcements to inform and update all interested parties of advancements in our mining and financial operations.

If you told me right this second that I could have a 5 minute interview with Obama, Romney, or Guy who holds his head up with 1 finger while deep in thought it wouldn't even be a question for me. I've never seen anything like it. I literally have a million things to ask him. Is that how he always thinks? Does his finger ever get tired? Did he wear those KD Lang Lesbian eyeglasses on purpose or was it like when Michael Scott accidentally bought the woman's worksuit? Does he ever use his whole hand? Is this his every day contemplation pose or just his election night contemplation pose? I could go on forever. Seriously, who does that? So cocky, so intriguing.
Guess he's Graham Elliot, master chef. Blog still stands, 1 finger thinking is preposterous. And If you guys think I know what a chef looks like then you're out of your mind. I know Rick Bayless because he's Skip's brother. That's the extent of my Chicago chef knowledge. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Plasma centers are usually located in urban areas. Many college students use them as an extra source of income. You can donate plasma up to twice a week, and it is pretty easy work.
You can sit there from 45-100 minutes reading or listening to music, you get free cookies and juice, and you don't have to really do anything!
Some place pay for you plasma, and some don't. If there is not a local plasma donation center near you, you can look into donating at a local blood drive.
They usually have at least one plasma machine ready to go. The only thing is that it is a donation, and they do not pay for it. It is simply out of the goodness of your heart, which is great!
