Sea-level rise and global climate change by John Church* This article first appeared in the WMO statement on the status of the global climate in 2007 (WMO-No. 1031) Global averaged sea level continued to rise through 2006 and 2007. Modern satellite measurements reveal that since 1993, sea level has been rising at an average rate of about 3 mm per year, substantially faster than the average for the twentieth century of about 1.7 mm per year, estimated from coastal sea-level measurements.
This is consistent with estimates made from sea-level benchmarks carved in rock in Tasmania, Australia, in 1840 and other data such as the height of ancient Roman fish tanks. Together, these results imply that there had been little net change in sea level from the first century ad to the 19th century ad and that the 20th century rate of rise is anomalous, relative to the recent Holocene. The main contributions to sea-level change in the 20th and 21st centuries are the following:
Since 1960, the thermal expansion of the oceans and the melting of glaciers and ice caps are the largest contributions to sea-level rise. There has also been an increasing contribution from surface melt from the Greenland ice sheet over this period. These contributions are directly related to recent climate change.
The impacts of sea-level rise will be felt through an increase in both mean sea level and the frequency of extreme sea-level events, for example storm surges, of a given level. Impacts include increased flooding, both in severity and frequency, of low-lying areas, erosion of beaches and damage to infrastructure and the environment, including wetlands, inter-tidal zones and mangroves, with significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Millions of people in low-lying nations such as Bangladesh, the Mekong and other deltas, and Pacific islands such as Tuvalu, will have to respond to rising sea levels during the 21st century and beyond. Improved sea-level rise projections will contribute to more effective coastal planning and management. Adaptation measures include, for example, enhanced building codes, restrictions on where to build and developing infrastructure better able to cope with flooding. _______________ * Marine and Atmospheric Research, Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and Chair, World Climate Research Programme Joint Scientific Committee |

You don't have to be in a counselor's office to get good therapy. A study from the UK suggests talking to a therapist over te phone can be just as effective as face-to-face counseling sessions. The researchers analyzed date from 39,000 patients. Only those with more severe mental illness benefitted more from the in-person meetings.

Sir: In connection with the various sleaze accusations, we are hearing a lot about the "natural justice" that the accused are said to be entitled to. What do those who use the term mean by "natural justice"? Nature is "red in tooth and claw". Justice, like "fair play", is something that we agree to extend to one another. Unlike sleaze, there is nothing natural about it.

I've added this line to the gt2-epsg-wkt-2.2.x.jar file so I could use the MSTM CRS.

The table was pretty flimsy, came damaged both at the corner and on the top. A little tricky to put together. Mine was missing a screw. I returned it.
I Just love my new white lacquered side table. It looks fantastic in our home.
I have 2 of these in our livingroom and they have been fantastic. Having these next to my sofa groups makes our livingroom look contemporary and they really compliment our home. Great product that I would buy again.

Advice & Tips:
As I was smoking this cigarette, I needed it less and less. I was trying to quit smoking, period, and I have. Though laws prevent makers of these devices from advertising them as a way to stop smoking, they are an excellent tool for just that. The trick is to not give in to the urge to go back to real smoking. For me those urges occurred only during the first 3 days.

Thanks for pointing this issue out!
I am pretty sure that you can stop the reduction of ports on a slow connection by overwriting the values with the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/282402
If not with the local reg values — perhaps with the Group policy option as it specifically call out http 1.0
Unfortunately I do not have access to a VPN connection / nor Dialup that I can test with.
Are you able to confirm and potentially add an extra solution to the blog?

Angel Celeste Collie is a transmasculine person from Bunn, NC. He leads MCC's Transgender Ministries, serves on the LGBT-Religious Archives Network Advisory Committee, The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies Transgender Roundtable, the Freedom Center for Social Justice board, and and was on the 2006 and 2007 Soulforce Equality Rides. In addition, Angel was elected by his peers to serve on the Diversity Committee and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate at Yale Divinity School. Angel says it is his hope to advocate on behalf of transgender, gender-non-conforming, and gender variant people in communities of faith. He said, "I am a shy, inked-up dork who likes exploring the intersections of faith, gender, and sexuality."
Rev. Norma Gann graduated from Brite Divinity School (Fort Worth, Texas) with a Master of Divinity degree. She also completed a one year hospital chaplain residency. She is currently serving as Pastor of Congregational Care at MCC of Greater Dallas, Carrollton, Texas. Rev. Gann is on the leadership Team for Gender Journey, a ministry at MCC of Greater Dallas aimed at providing educational and social events, spiritual guidance, ritual and support for Trans/Gender Variant people and their family and friends.

She identifies as a Two Spirit Native American and is proud to be called an equal rights activist. Rev. Gann has participated in many Pride events, candlelight vigils, AIDS Interfaith Network events, and other equality events in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and HRC's Clergy Call 2011 in Washington, D.C.
Rev. Miller Hoffman has been an active member of our denomination for fourteen years and served on the deaconate and as Adult Education Coordinator of MCC New York before beginning clergy formation and candidacy. Rev. Miller studied at Union Theological Seminary and was awarded the Roswell Dwight Hitchcock Prize in Church History for the thesis, "Every Woman Who Will Make Herself Male: Genderqueer Expression in the Early Church." This thesis was deposited in the Burke Theological Library in 2004. Rev. Miller has worked for LGBT civil rights as a paralegal with Lambda Legal Defense; for anti-violence justice and meditative practice as a tai chi teacher and member of the Board of Directors at the Brooklyn-based Center for Anti-Violence Education, one of the first all-women organizations to include trans women and, later, all trans-identified people; as a counselor and advocate for domestic violence and rape survivors with organizations in New York and Pennsylvania, including work with a state-wide LGBTQ domestic violence network and with one of the few domestic violence organizations in the country to provide services, including shelter, to gay men and trans survivors; as a mentor to local queer and trans youth; and as the pastor of MCC congregations in Binghamton, NY, and now Boyds, MD. Mind-body-spirit connections to social justice and the connectedness of all forms of physical, emotional, and spiritual violence deeply influence Miller's theology and ministry. Miller lives in Carlisle, PA, with girlfriend Corrine Bertram and volunteers with local community coalitions to promote visibility and respect for and to celebrate the lives of LGBTQ folks.
Rev. Jake Kopmeier is the minister for social justice concerns and for transgender concerns at King of Peace MCC in St. Petersburg, FL area. He is a founding member of Transgender FORGE and its director for youth and families. Prior to becoming active in MCC in Florida, Rev.

Zach McCallum is a fabulous, queer, disabled transman who lives just outside San Francisco with one housemate, three algae-eating snails, ten tropical fish, and fourteen pet rats. He hails originally from both Michigan and Tennessee, but has lived in coastal California for over twenty years so no longer has any tolerance for temperatures above 80°F or below 30°F. To hear his Nashville accent, sit him down with another Southerner or eavesdrop when he's on the phone to his sister. He spent a year studying geology in upstate New York, then bailed on the sciences and got a bachelors degree in Theatre from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He moved to San Francisco when he graduated, for "true love" (it didn't last), and decided California was the place for him. At various times he's earned a living (or in some cases more like a pittance) as a graphic artist and animator, a user experience designer, a stage manager, a theatrical director, a makeup artist, a phlebotomist, a janitor, and a writer. He is currently Managing Editor at Owldolatrous Press, a progressive web journal focusing on spiritual and humanist values, arts, and ideas for the LGBTQQIA community and their allies. In addition to making weekly publication happen, he writes essays about gender, culture, and spirituality. He also writes fiction (mostly gay romance, fantasy, and sci fi) and poetry about anything that catches his ADD eye. He's the token Pagan member of Peninsula MCC in San Mateo, CA, where he's been attending services (and singing in the choir) since January 2007 when he went to be polite to some friends who'd invited him, and found much more than he'd bargained for. His step-father is a former Presbyterian minister, his best ex-girlfriend is a Church of Canada minister, and a handful of his closest friends are either ministers, chaplains, or former seminary students, so he's rather surrounded by the voice of the Divine in one way or another.
Rev. Aaron Miller earned his Master of Divinity degree from Yale Divinity School in 2008 and was subsequently ordained by the Metropolitan Community Churches. Prior to being installed as the Interim Pastor at MCC Hartford (CT) in fall 2011, Aaron served as the Associate Minister for Pastoral Care at MCC New Haven. He is a chaplain at Yale New Haven Hospital and a member of the Connecticut Clergy for Full Equality (an interfaith collaboration of progressive faith leaders throughout the state), and a founding member of the True Colors Spiritual Institute that provides diversity workshops focused on sexual and gender minorities. Separately, Aaron also provides training regarding Gender Identity and Gender Expression in a variety of settings, such as churches, hospitals, health care facilities, colleges, and for Boards of Directors. Aaron is also a political activist who works for LGBTQ justice and equality, with political incumbents. As a transgender clergy person, Aaron is passionately committed to transgender human and civil rights in particular and, as important, creating safe and welcoming spaces in our congregations with full inclusion as members of the body of Christ.
Rev. Maxwell Reay has been a member of Metropolitan Community Church since 1989. He was one of the founding pastors of Living Springs MCC in Bath, England. He was licensed as MCC clergy in 1993. Maxwell has worked and volunteered within the Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender community for over 25 years. He is a qualified teacher, social worker and worked in the HIV voluntary sector for several years. Maxwell is an out gay trans man.

Maxwell co-ordinates the LGBT ministry "Our Tribe" and the transgender ministry "Transcendence" which are both joint ministries with MCC and Augustine United Church.
Stacy Sanberg attended MCC in Topeka until the summer of 2011 and now is active at Spirit of Hope MCC in Kansas City. Both congregations have been so supportive of her growth. He wants to help make MCC a denomination that continues to accept, affirm, and celebrate the wonderful variety of God's creations. For the first 50 plus years of his life, he considered himself to be a flawed male, to have something wrong with him that he just couldn't get rid of. She would try to fight it, but would also take opportunities to express her "femaleness" in what seemed like the only way possible – wearing women's clothing in secret. Stacy felt a sense of relief and excitement during those times, and then guilt afterwards for having given in to the temptation. His life was shaken a decade ago by a divorce. Over the past 9 plus years Stacy has been on a journey to claim that part of her being which was suppressed, denied, and hidden for 50 years. What seemed like a curse before, he now sees as a gift of God that continues to enrich her life, as Stacy seeks authenticity. Stacy prefers the term "dual gender" to describe his gender identity. Along this journey, Stacy has come to realize that advocating and educating on gender identity issues are tasks she is called to do to give back for all she has received. Stacy has made several presentations related to gender identity and have participated in a variety of activities helping to raise awareness of gender identity as a component of each person's sexual and self identity.

Local lobbyists are using an interesting way to decide who it'll endorse in the upcoming local elections. The Cape Fear Home Builders Association has candidates seeking its endorsement fill out a survey with questions that range from inquiries about things they'd like to do if elected, and economic development questions.
Officials with The Cape Fear Home Builders Association say mostly they look for someone who focuses on general quality of life issues including the environment and strengthening the tax base.
"We've got questions out there like cite three reason why you think you are the best candidate for this particular office... we've got questions out there like what untapped economical resources do you think are out there for the city of Wilmington," Donna Giradot of the Cape Fear Home Builders Association said.
The deadline for completed questionnaires passed Friday at 5 p.m. The committee will decide on who they'll endorse, come October, next week.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Indulge your need for speed
For over 60 years dirt-track racing has been a Manitoba pastime.
The first race took place in 1953 at Whittier Park in St. Boniface, and since then tens of thousands of people have watched drivers test the limits of themselves and the cars they drive to reach the finish line.
Since 1973 dirt racing has been taking held at the Red River Co-op Speedway (formerly known as Victory Lane Speedway and Winnipeg Speedway) located just south of the city on Highway 75. Twice a week drivers take to the track to compete for a coveted checkered flag.
For the last 14 years, area resident Derek Pollock has been racing in a variety of classes, including Street Stock, Super Stock, Enduro and now Super Truck.
"I constantly like to challenge myself and as my racing skill has improved, I have moved up to a more competitive class level." Derek says.
Racing is truly a family affair for Pollock.
"My Dad was a drag racer back in the day and my brother races. My wife's grandfather was also a racer, which makes her very understanding of the long hours and the costs," he says with a slight chuckle.
Racing is not a hobby for the faint of heart. Each season can cost between $5,000 to $10,000 per year and more if a driver blows out an engine or gets into a crash.
"Beyond the thrill of racing and the occasional checkered flag, the best part of racing is spending time with my family and friends," Derek says.
Most weekends his entire family, daughters Taylor 17, Camryn 11, and wife Shannon can be found at the track.
"Taylor and Camryn help out in the pits with changing tires and maintaining the car while my wife counts laps from the stands."
Although winning is nice, Derek feels that the opportunity to teach his girls about cars and racing are the biggest rewards.
Recognizing that there is a race car driver in everyone and wanting to share the rush of flying around a dirt track at 65 miles per hour, Derek started Rental Race Car.
"I purchased a few cars, made them race ready and then rent them out to wannabe drivers!" Derek says.
Rental cars include two 1974 Chevrolet Chevelles, a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu and a 1983 Buick Regal. All have a small block Chevy 355 cubic inch specially prepared race engine and compete in the Pure and Street Stock division(s).
Individuals are suited up in a fire suit, given instructions and racing tips and test the car with some hot laps (when drivers simply drive around the track to warm-up without actually competing for a position).
Next they line-up with other drivers in their class and participate in an actual race.
"There is nothing like feeling the sweat drip down your brow while waiting for the green flag to wave to signal the start of the race," Derek says.
For more information on Rental Race Car visit rentalracecar.com
Racing season is set to begin in the next few weeks, so visit redrivercoopspeedway.com for details.

Specialist neurosurgery equipment
In March 2012, we raised £19,000 to provide our surgeons with specialist equipment to perform transnasal (through the nose) brain surgery.
These new instruments will enable our neurosurgeons to perform minimal access brain surgery, allowing them to operate without cutting through the skull and therefore not leaving a scar. It will also minimise the amount of pain the patient will have after surgery as well as reducing the length of their stay in hospital.
Saurabh Sinha is currently one of very few neurosurgeons in the UK whose team is performing this kind of operation on children. The equipment will be used in operations including those to remove tumours and will mean that patients could have surgery performed at The Children's Hospital rather than having to be transferred elsewhere in the country. Saurabh's team has previously borrowed this equipment from the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, though new regulations mean this can no longer happen and it was therefore vital that the charity provide The Children's Hospital with its own equipment.
Saurabh Sinha explains more about the endoscopic equipment:
The equipment was partly funded by nine-year-old Owen Wilkinson and his family. Owen's family were so grateful to the hospital that saved their son on the night of 14 October 2011, they raised almost £4,000 towards this project.
Money raised at The Children's Hospital Charity's Daffodil Ball on 3 March will be used to complete the £19,000 needed to buy the equipment.

Quoting NeapolitanFan:Your idol, Phil Jones, admitted as such. WUWT simply is the messenger.
Quoting NeapolitanFan:Of course I read it. Your warmist bent doesn't let you see the main points. As an aside, there has been no statistically significant warming since 1995, even though you warmists claim the sky is falling because of CO2 increase. Don't be sad:Link
Quoting overwash12:How can you slamdunk Nea's biggest fan?Shame on you Rookie! :)
Quoting Neapolitan:My dear, please read what the good Dr. Jones said, then get back to us. Thanks!
Quoting Neapolitan:Okay, then. But thanks for the weather report!
Quoting Some1Has2BtheRookie:Here is what you said in post #192:"In 2006, the warmists said snow in the Alps would be a thing in the past."You then provide a link to an article that absolutely does not support your claim. - Please read the article again and then quote the part of the article that supports your claim.Here is a quote from the article you linked:"Climatologists, however, say the warming trend will become dramatic by 2020. The new studies are alarming, suggesting that the Alps are warming twice as fast as the average in the rest of the world. In 1980, 75 percent of Alpine glaciers were advancing; now, 90 percent are retreating." - Is there anything in the quote that suggests "warmists" say that snow in the Alps will be a thing of the past? ANYTHING?Now you link to WUWT to back up what you said? You cannot even use your original link to back your claims so you you now link to a non science, factually challenged web site of a known denialist that cannot even back up what he says?Either your reading comprehension skills are substandard, or your ability to state the facts are substandard, or your ability to be less than factual is above standard. Perhaps a blend of all three?
Quoting NeapolitanFan:I'm very happy that I rub you the wrong way. You sound almost hysterical when you reply to my posts. Perhaps you are hysterical because you see the handwriting on the wall.

Small stringed instrument related to the lute. It evolved in the 17th century in Italy, but its present form was strongly influenced by the 19th-century maker Pasquale Vinaccia (1806–82) of Naples. It has a pear-shaped body with a deeply vaulted back, a short fretted fingerboard, and four pairs of steel strings. (The American folk mandolin is a shallow, flat-backed version.) It is played with a plectrum; each pair of strings is strummed rapidly back and forth to produce a characteristic tremolo.

A mandoline (French [mɑ̃do'lin]; English []) is a kitchen utensil used for slicing and cutting juliennes. It consists of two parallel working surfaces, one of which can be adjusted in height. A food item is slid along the adjustable surface until it reaches a blade mounted on the fixed surface, slicing it and letting it fall.
Other blades perpendicular to the main blade are often mounted so that the slice is cut into strips. The mandoline juliennes in several widths and thicknesses. It also makes slices, waffle cuts and crinkle cuts with firm vegetables and fruits.
One of the advantages of using a mandoline is that the slices will be uniform in thickness, which is important with foods that are deep-fried or baked (e.g. potato chips), as well as for presentation. Another advantage is that the slices can be very thin, with much less effort than would be required cutting with a knife or other blade.
This is a dangerous utensil and food preparers may choose to wear a metal glove on the pushing hand.
The tool has been popularized among non-professional and casual cooks, in the form of a Japanese-made plastic version, without many of the attachments found on professional models.

@SkyWhisperer - This is the second time I've heard about doctors using dyes to trace particles in the body.
Gram staining seems like a brilliant technique to produce detail about the bacteria under a microscope. I think that using this technique they could probably trace the movement of the bacteria throughout the body as well, and learn about the progression of the illness.

Rosehill trials - Spring big guns come out to play Clinton PayneMonday, 15 August 2011
Two of the spring carnival's potential headline acts Maluckyday and My Kingdom Of Fife have both taken their first public steps towards their upcoming goals in barrier trials at Rosehill on Monday.
Autumn Group I winner My Kingdom Of Fife "had a very, very soft trial" according to his jockey Nash Rawiller.
"He jumped well, raced a bit above himself for the first 100 metres then came back underneath me," Rawiller said.
"When they sprinted we let them go and he just worked to the line.
"He still felt pretty soft to me."
Rawiller said the Chris Waller-trained import would definitely trial again before his return to the races.
Meanwhile, last year's Melbourne Cup runner-up Maluckyday could resume as early as Saturday after he went round in a 900 metre open heat.
"He trialled nice, did everything right," co-trainer Michael Hawkes said.
"He hit the line strong, what was asked of him.
"He'll either run on Saturday in the Warwick Stakes or Saturday week in the Memsie [Stakes – 1400m] at Caulfield.
"We've got a few days to make up our mind.
"We'll just see how he pulls up."
Hong Kong Group I winner Happy Zero was another of team Hawkes spring hopefuls strutting their stuff.
The son of Danzero was given his second trial and showed good improvement to win his 900 metre hit-out.
He won the trial, he went well," Hawkes said.
"Obviously his fitness levels are going the right way.
"He'll probably go to Melbourne to resume in the McEwen at Moonee Valley."
The Group III McEwan Stakes is a weight-for-age contest run over 1000 metres at Moonee Valley on September 10.

2. Seaming the flowers together took a bit of time.
Stay tuned, because my next crochet project is the Blooming Bolero from the May/June 2008 Issue of Crochet Today!. I'm hoping to wrap it up soon so that I can get a few wears in before fall weather arrives and it gets too chilly. You can see some of my progress over on Instagram here and here. Be sure to follow along with me on Instagram for more sneak peeks of upcoming projects!
So, are you guys like me and still hung up on summer projects, or are you already looking ahead to fall?

small loans online
Member since August 15, 2011
Apply small business loan refers to entrepreneurs trying to get funding via an online application. Many lenders, including commercial banks, credit unions, and non-traditional financial companies, now provide online applications to hurry within the approval process for loans. Even though the amount funded, home interest rates, and repayment options vary by lender and by kind of small loans online, most online applications are certainly similar. It is critical to observe that small Business Administration would not offer electronically submitted applications. However, they generally do provide applications which can be downloaded and printed out for your applicant's benefit.
As a way to obtain a business small online loans, applicants must first be certain they meet the criteria necessary for lender by the money type. Most commercial banks and lending institutions require personal and business fiscal reports, credit rating checks, as well as a working business strategy plan from applicants. While a company may complete and submit be sure you application, it usually is asked to fax, mail, you aren't present the mandatory documents towards the lender prior to the application is known as for approval. Non-traditional financial institutions, however, will not require as much documentation as traditional lenders; hence the only item necessary for loan consideration can be a completed application. Know that because lenders will not require credit rating checks or another financial information, their rates can be greater than other loans.
The next thing were required to obtain a small enterprise loan on the web is to try and do the web application. Most applications request basic information: name, address, dob, contact numbers, social security numbers, yet others. It's best to make sure that all of the is correct before submitting the application.
Applying online business loan usually describes business owners trying to get a loan. Commercial banks, credit unions, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and independent financial companies offer loans to smaller businesses. The loan amounts, home interest rates, and comparison to its repayment change from bank to bank, but these people will often have the same loan requirements.
When seeking your own business loan, companies must first investigate the type of loan they want to make sure they are eligble for it. Some loans are manufactured particularly for start-up expenses, whilst some might require a business to acquire experienced operation for a certain stretch of time. Still others are general-purpose loans available to any company which fits certain requirements.
Step 2 in getting a small company loan is to be certain a small business has each of the necessary financial documents was required to apply. Most traditional lenders require businesses to submit business and financial documents, credit files, and a detailed business strategy plan. Lenders make use of this information to ascertain appears to be applicant presents a high-risk, whereby the individual will probably have to pay a higher apr with stricter loan terms. A low-risk business proves its ability to profit and, therefore, repay the loaned funds.
Once all documents are gathered, a profitable business must apply for the small business loan. Applications might be accessed in the lender's place of work or over the lender's website.

Ah, no one expects the best quality with this thing. I just want to do some aerial filming with it and looks like I'll be thrilled with the results. Sound is useless. I'm going to set it to music (gotta learn how to do that easily). I've been dying to use a song from the movie Titan A.E. that I love!
This one. Don't steal it anybody! I call dibbs!
Anybody seen this movie and feel what I feel? Don Bluth animation, awesome story, great rock music. CGI spaceships and backgrounds. Love this movie. Great for adults and older kids (starts with destruction of planet earth and son being separated from his father). |

Could it be missing from that circle on the bottom right of the board in the second photo? Should be a round, silver 'drum' shape with a black top. And from your photos with the purple on: that camera is busted. I had a problem with some 'sports' cameras that had that problem. Bad batch went out and I had to buy 18 of them to get 3 that worked. Then returned the others. If you want wide, wide angle then you want an 808 #16 with the 120 degree 'D' lens. Bit fisheye, but you can 'unwrap' it with a Virtual Dub filter if you don't like it, or just get the standard 90 degree lens version. |

Older kids, I mean at least 7 or 8. By 13 they won't watch cartoons again until after college. I remember my first animated movie as an adult. It was Shrek. Started out with the subtle adult humor and the knocking Disney and singing and fairytales in general and I was hooked again. Have 2 kids now. We love 'em.

Quick access : 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 Requests Humanitarian | Juliette Lamarca was born in France (near Grenoble) in 1982 and studied textile Design. She actually lives in Paris. Her paintings are talking about night, as a very special moment where electric lightings of the cities change the landscape and make it magic. There is nobody out, but the streets are alive, and you can feel human presence all around (behind a lighted window, through different symbols like a car, a road sign, a graffitti...). There is also a second theme, about the mix of different cities (see the titles of the paintings) which are representative of the places the artist knew in her life. The different places interact, superimpose on each others like in memories. |

CNN wins, FOX loses, Deepak Chopra and other Mumbai thoughts
I have been obsessed with events in Mumbai and one of my most obvious observations is that Fox has been completely outclassed by CNN in its coverage. Fox is simply not a global news network of any serious reach and not worth watching in a situation like this.
CNN's coverage has been pretty good by and large. I even excuse them bringing on Deepak Chopra and his narcissistic platitudes. For Chopra, no surprise, it's always about us… Washington, Washington, Washington… and not at all about Islam and jihad. Naturally enough. If it's not about us, how is he going to get any money or attention? Not surprisingly someone over on the HuffPo thinks the human potential movement has something to offer in such a situation and criticizes CNN for cutting Chopra off. Oh, please.
Amir Taheri has a different and far more informative view:
While it is not yet clear which group was behind the attacks, it looks as if the perpetrators were trying to imitate the tactic of ghazwa, used by the Prophet against Meccan caravans in his decade-long campaign to seize control of the city.
The tactic consists of surprise no-holds-barred attacks simultaneously launched against a caravan or settlement with the aim of demoralising the enemy and hastening his capitulation.
Of course it's inconvenient for the smart set at the HuffPo to understand that Islamism isn't all about George Bush, Iraq, etc., but stems from adhering to Eighth Century ideas conceived before there was even a Black Friday sale at Bergdorf's. But so it goes.
Another observation: I have traveled to many developing countries, yet somehow I was still astonished to hear they don't have potable tap water in Mumbai and those holed up in the hotels were running out of bottled water. Well, not astonished, but disheartened. You would think that, with all their burgeoining high tech, the Indians would get it together to have a decent water system in their most powerful city. Again, so it goes.
UPDATE: Two links worth reading on Mumbai are here and here.
ANOTHER UPDATE – DEEPAK CHOPRA: Apparently I was wrong about Chopra. On Larry King tonight he has asked the unthinkable: Why is all this international terrorism of Islamic origin? Larry the Dimwitted attempted to go around the question, but Chopra kept pursuing it. Good for him.

Roger, you're absolutely right about CNN's coverage and I hope I can gain absolution for the sin of watching. Another good source was ibncnn on the internet. My guess is that it is part of the CNN worldwide deal. The coverage was excellent. I happened to see that Deepak interview a couple of days ago. I sounded like a complete idiot and I'm sure that CNN cut him off so that he wouldn't seem like a blabbering fool to his 'followers'. I also detected a bit of saliva dripping from the left corner of his mouth. An idiot.
Yes said but true. CNN did beat up on FOX on this one.
By the way, one of non Black Friday articles on the front page of the Daily News (Los Angeles) is entitled Soldiers Move On 'Militants'.
Now to cook MY turkey so I have lots of yummy left overs.

CNN has a much wider reach, obviously, but a few things I saw over the last few days stick out. On CNN, one of the female international reporters (an anchor?) trotted out the "we must remember that these young Muslim men are disaffected…" canard – basically that they are mad because of unemployment and lack of opportunity, etc; essentially the same garbage they've been spewing for years to justify Islamist terror. On MSNBC, an anchor (I believe it was Kiran Chetry) earnestly asked a guest that while she understood targeting Westerners, why, oh why would they attack a Jewish center? At that point I shut the TV off in disgust. Whether she honestly didn't know, or it was just more attempted shaping of the narrative – the MSM's specialty – it was a ridiculous and stupid question.

Islam doesn't adhere to Eighth Century ideas. Islam IS Eighth Century ideas.
The inability to understand that, the inability to understand that Islam cannot modernize or liberalize or humanize itself and remain Islam is at the root of our enlightened elites reluctance to oppose Islam unconditionally.

There are number of good Indian blog posts about the incident and several make the point that intelligence and surveillance, the same thing that Bush has done and the left opposes, are the key defenses and were neglected by the Indian government. This newspaper article</a< is probably the best so far. I have more links on my blog.

Here in Mexico City, we watched the BBC's coverage on our local cable that I thought was even better than CNN's. No funny stuff as far as I saw.
I say we need an immediate no-holds-barred attack on every Al Qaeda group and sympathizer by every country that means business in the world. Liquidation. Everywhere. No rights. No wavering. No hand-wringing. Every mosque and mullah must take an oath of rejection of the group and jihad or simply get executed. Every mosque take the vow or get levelled.
It is only a matter of time before they get a nuclear bomb from the N. Koreans, Iranians, or Pakis. There is no more time to waste.

I have no tv reception. However, I totally loved the IBN/CNN coverage. They didn't interview any people until they started talking to ex hostages. They put Indian politicians and Pak politicians on also.
Actually, Mumbai looks like a great city, with a good heart. As to the water, it is in the same situation as was London back in 1850. Huge and sudden population increase with concomitant breatkdown of public works.

Trying to make sense of the senseless seems to me an exercise in futility. We are witnessing pointless nihilism rather like the attacks of 9/11. Not unlike the burning banlieus of Paris on a Saturday night, or for that matter the murderous anarchy inflicted by the "assassins" during the crusading period. I could be wrong. Maybe there's a government somewhere responsible, but I doubt it.
I would be convinced that the Mumbai attacks are part of some world-wide jihad if I could hear a consistant message from bin Laden or anyone else with authority to speak for Islam. Yet every attack seems to carry with it a new justification from whichever perpetrator can capture the attention of the press.
I see bin Laden as a minor son looking for recognition from a wealthy family (indeed, perhaps the world). America ignored him three times: USS Cole, East Africa, and Khobar Towers. Osama needed to do something spectacular to get our attention. He was clever and diligent enough to eventually find a way. What he lacked was the followthrough to establish himself as a leader of consequence. Whatever happened to all those terrorist cells imbedded in the U.S. for a second round of attacks? I remember hearing from "experts" that the U.S. would be hit again. Didn't happen. Either U.S. intelligence is very good or the enemy is incompetent. Probably a blend of both. Well, thank God for that this day.
I can claim one area of expertise getting back to my original point because I'm a teacher of young men. They are animals. Sexual frustration combined with a newly minted mind can be a ferocious combination. Lashing out should be expected. You don't have to be Freud to understand the following (or maybe you do): the combination of sexual repression and violent tendencies will manifest in destruction. I could add more by way of anecdotal storeies, but such is enough for tonight. It's not about Islam per se. I think the deeper answers lie elsewhere.
But that's just me.

~Paules: Please take a look at this list and see if you can identify any consistency therein:
It's ALL about Islam. To deny the obvious concrete evidence — death and mayhem perpetrated on a daily basis, with one common denominator — would require willful blindness of the highest order.

No, we are witnessing 8th century savagery with 20th century weapons. Nihilist wouldn't single out Americans, Brits and Jews as targets. This is militant Islam on display. We've seen them cut off heads. We've seen them blow up civilians. This time they shot people up close and personal. Same folks, different methodsl, same end result: scared and dead infidel.
Roger, we watched much of this on New Delhi TV (ndtv.com) internet streaming live. They had good coverage.
BTW, has anyone else noticed how incompetent the Indian response was? It should never have taken days to clear that hotel. It reminds me of Columbine and the overly cautious police response which cost lives.

From what was said on IDN tv was that the police and the commandos were NOT cautious: many of them were killed in the past few days.
The Taj hotel is gigantic and very old, with tons of hallways, etc. Also it was loaded with tourists. The police had no idea how many terrorists there were. The terrorists had a huge amount of ammunition. And the hotels and railway terminus and hospital and restaurant and cinema were filled with civilians. The civilians were either killed, or escaped, or, if they were in a hotel, locked in their room with only cell phones available to talk to people outside.
The police and commandos had no up to date floor plans for any of the hotels. The terrorists, on the other hand, had excellent info re layouts, etc.
So, this was not like Columbine at all. The police and commandos and firemen were real heroes in Mumbai.

A long time ago, I heard a news report that the Congress Party lost an election in an Indian province. It was a surprise upset. The reason given was that the Party failed to come through on their promise to install modern sewers in the province. That was sometime in the 1980s.
Since it didn't happen in Queens, New York I forgot about it until Roger's comment about bottled water. But, at the time, I thought the same thing.November 29, 2008 - 7:21 am Link to this Comment | Reply -

Islam as the single cause for outbreaks of terrorism seems to me a bit simplistic. My experience in the Muslim world informs me that Islam is more often a cause for complacency and fatalism than for violence. I am fully aware that there exists within Islam virulent strains like Wahabbism. Yet outbreaks of violence seem more episodic through history rather than normative. The problem is complex with Islam being but one element in the equation.
I wish I could site the paper I read from a Danish sociologist, but I haven't got the time to look it up. It's somewhere in the archives at Gates of Vienna. The gist of his study suggests that the problem is primarily demographic. The Islamic world is sitting on a population bubble of too many young males. Natural aggression between young men results in violence based on a need for status. The author goes on to site various historical examples, but I'll let his work speak for itself if you should be so inclined to look it up. I think he's on to something.
Throw sexual repression into the mix and the results become literally explosive. The sexual proclivities of men in the Muslim world have a dark and unspoken side. I won't go into the details, but anyone who has traveled in the region knows what I'm talking about. Widespread homosexual activity is the signature mark of a misogynistic society. And Islam is certainly that.
Throw into the equation people who are ignorant and illiterate. Rates of literacy in Afghanistan and Pakistan are among the lowest in the world at about 33% for the tribal peoples of the region. I can't express it any other way: they are primitives. It's the perfect recruiting ground for reactionary violence against anything that smacks of modernity. How else are young men so easily motivated by nonsense like the promise of seventy-two virgins?
We can politely agree to disagree, but I reject Islam as the single cause. Human society is more complex than to suggest a single cause for anything relating to our species. Even a reformation within Islam, something I find highly unlikely, might not be sufficient to quell the violence. The problem will persist probably longer than any of us will be alive. Solutions are few, but to suggest it's all about Islam strikes me as narrow-minded.

~Paules, you are confusing necessary and sufficient causes. No one here, that I know of, suggests that Islam is the entire cause of the situation. It is, however, the soil on which it is growing. You are correct that an Islamic reformation may not be the entire solution, but without it, we are sunk. Islam provides a divine excuse for insane behavior.

~Paules, Roger is right that Islam is the soil in which this grows.
The more proximate causes are the good old sins of greed, envy, meglomainia etc. that afflict all Utopian cults, especially the leadership.Islam is a Utopian cult in the same way that Fascism, Communism etc. are. All will be perfect if only the heathen will bow to the master. And note the similarity between Islam and Communism. In Islam all the bennies go to the self-professed agents of an unknowable Allah via a dead Mo. In Communism they skipped the diety except for putting an ideology in it's place instead of a theology.
But, the result is the same. A sacred dogma that can only be known via the priesthood who, of course, reap the rewards. Those dachas don't come cheap. Neither do the palaces of the self-designated mullahs, not to mention the high given by virtually limitless power.
So, the peasants provide the cannon fodder for the leadership of the cult. If the cult isn't getting where the leadership thinks it should be then you get the equivalent of a temper tantrum like Mumbai.

Mr. Simon,
There is perhaps one force strong enough to change the face of Islam. Modernity itself might be the answer. An educated populace living with abundance and liberty always grows more secular over time. Indeed, the natural progression moves toward agnosticism if not outright atheism.
The Turks, for example, are not a pious people by Muslim standards. I can't remember once seeing anyone in Ankara or Istanbul throwing out a prayer rug five times a day. The norm was to visit the mosque for Friday prayers. Likewise, the Iraqi people seem to recognize that American-style modernity is preferable to theocratic mayhem. Even Arabia is moving away (slowly) from tradition toward reform.
You say yourself that "Islam provides the excuse for insane behavior." Yes, but I think AlanC has it about right because he's looking at the human motivations behind the dogma. Islam is the excuse that hides the face of tyranny. The mullahs of Iran are in practice nothing more than garden variety kleptocrats. As are the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas. They rely on hatred and ignorance as a means to control subject populations. But it's all a carefully contrived lie for purely non-religious motives.
A million Arab citizens of Israel know the truth. They are free, prosperous and hold all the rights of citizenship. Terrorism against Israel comes from without, not from within. The Jews are not the problem; in fact, they represent the solution.
If my reasoning is correct, then the problem is tyranny, not Islam. Religion is the excuse disguising baser motives. Yes, probably some of the more fanatical imams are deluded in their beliefs. But then that's a form of ignorance, is it not? I'm not trying to split hairs. Dialectic is useful for finding truth. Modernity will bring the people of the Middle East education, liberty, and abundance. Therein, I think, lies the only viable solution.

#15 Paules:
Those experts were operating from their experience, they were extrapolating on 'what they would do' if they planned the 9/11 attacks. So would I. With those attacks completed I would have it be the signal for sleeper cells to begin operations, like Mumbai. Keep hitting, keep causing pain and spreading terror for as long as those cells can remain active.
And perhaps that was the plan, but too many got rolled up on 9/12 and other days, things we will not know about for decades. Or perhaps Bin Laden and Co. were too arrogant and thought one good hit would cause collapse (the Y2K hysteria may have given them that idea).
Again – who knows?

When FNC combines with Murdoch's UK SkyNews, it actually has pretty good global reach.
Why they didn't use it in this case is unclear to me.
They certainly matched and exceeded CNN in Iraq war coverage, not only in quantity, but certainly in, um, outlook.

I thought a chunk of Fox had been bought up by the Wahabists – excuse me, the Saudis. So, does anyone think Fox would give good coverage of this sort of thing even if they could?

For how long?
I think you've been working longer than that for this person! I just thought how well you understand her and realized that maybe you're not working just as arms and legs for her, or said in another way, she's not just hiring your arms and legs but also your brain. Surely she gets fed up of all this, too. Anyway, I think you've spoiled her for good and there's no way of changing things now. Just hope she finds somebody near as good as you to help her after you quit the job, which I deem nearly impossible. I mean, finding another person to help her just the way she wants...
Heart Like a Singing Bird
Not every bird sings...but most of them fly
You've done great about the chronicle title; i wouldn't drag myself much further than its context: seems there was (or is, as of the way you bear for) a very thin line between work...and a miracle, such a one that would barely lead you to replace your 'hirer' on the most basic daily deeds. Even if not settled (to oneself) as it should have, there has to be a major difference between someone who WORKS his ass off, and someone who furthermore engages on trying to return physical freedom to someone other than a deeply beloved one (regardless of odds for success on attempting). For within the 2nd, danger for loosing your own wings (freedom) has to be taken seriously, and as likewise (most of) the birds, flying was always among man's cry for freedom.

Ohio Gov.-elect John Kasich put Statehouse lobbyists on alert Thursday: They'd better get on board with upcoming budget cuts.

Meet the Memorial staff, Paul Riley and Timothy Hurd QSM.
Paul Riley, Curator
Image of Paul Riley.
Paul Riley is the Curator of the National War Memorial (NWM). His job is incredibly varied. One day he's giving presentations to visiting school groups, the next he's preparing protocols and procedures for wreath laying ceremonies and hosting international dignitaries, and on another day he might be curating exhibitions and displays. Paul has been with the NWM since 1993, and still loves it, the building itself is a tranquil work environment, "A lot of people come here from all around the world and say 'it's very understated' and I think that's quite right . . . it's rather beautiful".
The memorial was built in two stages, the first was the tower or Carillon (the first part of the memorial) was built in 1932, plans for the Hall of Remembrance were put on hold due to financial constraints, and it was finally completed in 1964 by the same original architects, Gummer and Ford (it was Gummer's last job before he retired). Neutral pastels and clean lines define the style of the hall, and stained glass windows bring vibrant light into the hall, "We have beautiful purple colours thrown on the walls from the stained glass windows".
Within the hall are military shields, plaques and a roll of honour. Fleur de Lys and doves are inset within the stone walls, and the central focus of the hall is a sculpture by Linden Smith. The sculpture depicts a mother standing with her young daughter and son; it's an unusual and different approach to a war memorial, focusing on the families that are affected by war, rather than "a guy with a gun" says Paul. He also has had famous visitors comment of the statue, "Hilary Clinton said to me 'that's one of the most beautiful statues I've seen in any memorial'".
Paul deals with guests of distinction and day to day visitors with ease and enthusiasm, if you're visiting the NWM he's happy to give you a tour.

We weren't sure about visiting Northern Ireland, but I now know it would have been a mistake to not go. It was amazing, and our guide Kevin was wonderful! Take this tour!!!
Virginia, TN, USA
Best tour of our trip. Mike our guide was fab lots of fun trivia.
We really enjoyed our driver Patrick. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Ireland, and did a great job pointing out interesting facts.
Our second day with Bud. He was fantastic. Very informative and accommodating to our every need. A couple of places he needed to drop us off and come back later, he was always on time so no waiting. He even dropped us off at our apartment so we did not have to ride all the way down town and back.
This tour was one of my favorite days of our trip to London and Ireland. The Antrim coast is just breathtaking. You get driven up along the coast so there is ample opportunity for pictures and amazing views! Bud was our tour guide and he was funny, informative, entertaining, and well organized. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
Joe was great and very entertaining! The views along the coast were spectacular and the Giant's Causeway amazing. Could have used a little more time in Belfast but overall it was a great day!
Despite being new to the job ( he told us he started the week before) out driver was very informative of everything we were seeing. The tour gave a lot of time at each location to experience everything. Beautiful scenery!!!
The Giants Causeway is an amazing place to visit, if you get the opportunity, don't skip it! This tour takes the hassle out of getting there. There is some terrific coastal scenery along the way. Belfast was lovely too, some extra time there would have been good. Be aware that it is quite a long day with a lot of driving (with plenty of breaks)!
Организовано замечательно! Гид-водитель просто великолепно!
Enjoyed the drive through the beautiful countryside. The driver gave us a history lesson about the civil problems between the different factions in Ireland. We were not cautioned that Northern Ireland uses the British Pound and we were not prepared for that, having only Euros.
The walking and climbing at both the Giant's Causeway and the Rope Bridge were very physically demanding--I couldn't make it all the way.
Covered a fair bit of ground, and the guide was excellent. Recommended!
Tour guide was very time conscious. Really enjoyed the actual tour, though the driver was a little too repetative at times. Appreciate all his information about the history and such.
Had a wonderful trip. Did not know that we had to pay extra to enter the gift shop. Thought this should have been included in the price of the tour. Overall: pleased with tour.
This was a great trip saw alot of interesting and beautiful things. I would highly reccomend it to anyone going to Ireland
The tour was wonderful despite rain and gale force winds. Tour guide was top notch. Would recommend this to everyone.

I made it from Paris to Provence in one beauty-full piece. I love traveling by train and when you are passing time in the French countryside with a magazine, Kindle, portable wine, and conversation the time passes quickly. I was asked before I left DC "Does Paris get old?" Never. It's still magical to me. I love the slower pace, the numerous hours sitting, talking, exploring, and learning. Let's not forgot all the eating. I found beauty products that we will be obsessing over soon in the U.S. Here are a few photos of Paris that make me smile.
{The first crêpe of many}
{One of the best croissants I have ever tasted at Patisserie Boulangerie Blé Sucré in the 12th}

This is EASY and quick. You are out the door for work in no time with dinner ready when you get home!Submitted by: JOROTZ
This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed.
