What scientists know for sure about global climate change [video]
What scientists know for sure about global climate change [video]
Heidi Cullen, climate expert and correspondent for The Weather Channel and formerly a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado explains why scientists are so sure that our burning of oil, coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels is causing a disruption in the earth's climate systems.
The video is part of recently launched climate change science communications project called Climate Central.
Previous Comments
There was a similar but more general overview released several months ago by Penn State On Demand, available here (http://climate.ondemand.psu.edu/viewer.php?id=03052008081001) or on YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=OycDcuT3Grc). The first speaker, Dr. Richard Alley, is a little… awkward, and the video will recieve some flak for showing Michael Mann, but it's still worth mentioning here.
Directly referring to this video, since I KNOW the inactivists are going to dispute it, the original paper on isotope ratios is available at (http://www.bgc.mpg.de/service/iso_gas_lab/publications/PG_WB_IJMS.pdf). Feel free to publish a rebuttal.
I dont know how one can dispute isotopes. There is no doubt, CO2 is increasing, you can measure it with a simple IRGA. As fossil fuels have long since lost all their unstable isotopes, the changing ratio in the atmosphere is a clear give away that its from fossil origin. I cant imagine how anyone can dispute that.
The Missing Greenhouse Signature
Dr David Evans ([email protected])
21 July 2008
So an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of the recent global warming. So we
now know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming.
Explanations of how David Evans is wrong:
Can you say "stratospheric cooling" Gary? I'll bet you can't spell it.
Deltoid has a different opinion?
Wow what a surprise.
Have you checked at RealClimate?
They probably have an opinion too.
A cult approved one that is in line with doctrine no doubt.
This is fun. And I got called a name by VJ today as well.
I think I am up to 15 or 16 now. Cool.
Your so called Expert… Heidi?
Too lazy to check the links I posted above? Come on now, try it, Gary: "Strat - o - sphe - ric cool - ing". You can't explain why it is occuring without admitting that CO2 is acting as a greenhouse gas.
No, Gary's content to smear Dr. Cullen (with relevant expertise) as an expert while citing David Evans, with no relevant expertise (electrical engineering and being self-contradictory on model use isn't a climatology doctorate), of the coal-lobbying Lavoisier group, as an expert.
Gary, please explain why the stratosphere is cooling: http://www.atmosphere.mpg.de/enid/20c.html
OK if you can use her as a credible source, and earlier George MoonBat, anyone goes.
Back to you… Moncton and Ball leading climate Experts say just the opposite..
It's funny how threatened the trolls are by a diminutive and attractive woman with a relevant PhD and an impressive record of real academic research in the area of which she speaks.
Gary's "leading climate Experts" can make no such claim. Tim Ball's mail-away doctorate was in geographical history and he did NO relevant research and published NO related papers during the extent of his uninspiring academic career. Monckton, bless the poor boy, did a diploma in journalism and sharpened his science "credentials" writing editorials for right-wingy UK tabloids.
I have nothing against editorial writers - there's a quite charming one in the mirror in the morning when I shave - but I'd hardly set any of us up as "experts" in a debate with Ms. Cullen.
Which would go for you, too, Gary: I suggest that, intellectually at least, you pick on someone your own size. Heidi Cullen would clean your clock - on meteorology, climatology and, I suspect, on any other science issue you chose to bring up.
From Climate Expert Viscount Moncton
Even if CO2 levels had set a record, there has been no warming since 1998. For 7 years, temperatures have fallen. The Jan 2007-Jan 2008 fall was the steepest since 1880 (GISS; Hadley; NCDC; RSS; UAH: all 2008).
Gary's "Climate Expert Viscount Moncton" is not a climate expert, even if Gary had spelled his name correctly.
Edited to add: Deltoid has much information about Monckton:
…just search for "Monckton". Spell it correctly.
If Heidi is an Expert then so is Rush Limbah.
Heidi's had peer-reviewed research published. Rush is a pundit. I fail to see how smearing her record while accusing us of smearing back gets you any high ground, Gary. Please explain this rhetoric to me.
Occam's razor suggests that Gary is a liar.
I'll let this speak for itself:
Note that Gorgias is speaking about the Greek equivalent of Limbaugh (a pundit speaking outside his area of expertise).
Actually it would claim that GW is perfectly natural.
Caused by PDO cycles which are in turn caused by Solar cycles.
Read the razor again. It does not say anything about blaming cycles in a complex system on one insignificant component that is Loosely (very loosely) co-incident with temperature fluctuations.
Simplest explanation is usually the right one – remember?
It is the stated purpose of this Blog.
I am just trying to fit in.
You guys smear enyone and everyone that disagrees with AGW weather it is justified or not, so…..
Besides, it is more than just a little fun to play a bit with silly topics like this one.
Come on. Heidi is an Eco nutbar. Admit it.
Shame on you, liar.
Monckton rubs Schmidts in his own do do.
Very entertaining to see Schmidt som completely outclassed. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/monckton/chuck_it_again_schmidt.pdf
Dr. Kunihiko Takeda is vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.
Global warming has nothing to do with how much CO2 is produced or what we do here on Earth.
From Dr. Cullen's CV: http://tinyurl.com/6kz5oh
Before joining The Weather Channel, Dr. Cullen was a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. She received a bachelor's degree in engineering/operations research from Columbia University in New York City and went on to receive a doctorate in climatology and ocean-atmosphere dynamics at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. Her dissertation focused on understanding the impacts and dynamics of the North Atlantic Oscillation, an important climate influence. As a post-doc, she received a NOAA Climate & Global Change Fellowship and spent two years working at the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction.
Here's the Google Scholar entry on Dr. Cullen: http://tinyurl.com/6dduhb
Dr. Cullen has a clearly demonstrated expertise and scientific background in the contemporary science of climate change.
Then how can such an Expert be so wrong? With all that education she should know by now that CO2 does not cause a rise in temperature.. What is the purpose for this Continuous Denial?
Knowledge about complex things makes one an expert. Denying it makes one an idiot. You seem to belong to the latter class.
Ian Forrester
NASA Discovers 70% Of Global Climate Due To Pacific Ocean Oscillations - Not CO2
Congress learned something shattering today, which will have the Church of Al Gore/IPCC running in fear of their lost credibility. It has been scientifically demonstrated that 70% of the Global Warming in the last century (and cooling in the last decade) is due to the Pacific Ocean Oscillations, not CO2:
Of course I could go on but we all know that in reality, Scientists don't know anything for sure and many are simply trying to protect reputataions that will be in ruins shortly.
It's Roy Spencer!
i.e. The guy who can't get his atmospheric science straight.
As for the ENSO, it's important, however it's not "70%".
And how could it be, since strong ENSO events last less than a year. 1998, and 2008 being obvious years.
It couldn't possibly explain decades or centuries warming trends if it only lasts a few months at a time.
You would like to take that up with Roy.
I did not write the paper, I merely linked to it.
It sure makes a lot more sense than the silly drivel coming from Cullin though.
Do you think she would be willing to debate Roy in public on the issues?
No probably not. it would be embarrassing for her and hard to watch.
It's not your fault, Spencer wrote it, you just bought into it wholesale and refuse to adjust your beliefs in accordance with the inconsistencies pointed out to you. After all, you didn't put those inconsistencies there in the first place, it was that nasty, rotten Spencer that you so gleefully cite. Please.
Self-explanatory, Gary. Science isn't settled in public debate any more than government policy is settled via cockfights.
Is the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction anywhere near never never land?
or OZ perhaps.
So, Gary, why change the subject? Do we know that humans have increased atmospheric CO2 (an understanding brought about by isotopic differences), or don't we? Is CO2 a greenhouse gas, or isn't it?
Both of your statements are correct.
And irrelevant.
If you were to read any of the posted papers/articles you would know that CO2s ability to cause warming is maxed out.
Do a little homework on the logarithmic decrease in climate sensitivity to CO2 concentration.
It will no doubt astound you.
You seem to have confused "climate sensitivity" and "radiative forcing". The former is a constant, the latter varies logarithmically with CO2 concentration.
And just to make sure you've done your homework, what happens to the overall forcing (a logarithmic curve over concentration, as you noted) with exponentially increasing CO2 concentrations over time? Does it increase, decrease, stay the same?
I can only do this for a minute or two at a time while at work. No time to research or review.
I will try to get to it later however.
Stay tuned.
As the world turns and cools….
these are the days of our lives.
The suspense is killing me!
He can only do this for a minute at a time, and can't find time to write out a simple yes/no answer to a high-school math problem, but has the time to write up a simple excuse several times as long.
For anyone making mathematical arguments and asking others to "Do a little homework" based on those, this should LITERALLY have been as quick to answer as "what happens when I multiply X by Y and then divide the result by Y?". (The analogy is more apt than you think; logarithms are defined* as the inverse of exponentials). Because, you know, such condescension implies that he's 'done a little homework'.
One has to wonder if his lack of basic math skills has bled into his claimed understanding of how radiative forcing (or was that climate sensitivity? What was the difference again, Gary?) responds to CO2 concentration.
You ask:
what happens to the overall forcing with exponentially increasing CO2 concentrations over time?
Dumb question since CO2 concentration is increasing at a moderate linear pace.
However, lets play make believe anyway.
If the CO2 increased at an exponential pace, temperatures would increase at a decreasing pace to a maximum level when it forcing ability was saturated.
This point is not much above current values so the amount of increase would be neglegable.
There would come a point when the concentration would become toxic. At something over 5000ppm according to the international standard for air quality in mines.
All academic however since it isn't and won't.
Have you read the latest studies on CO2 out gassing in the Atlantic caused by PDO cyclic shifts?
Probably not since it would not fit you preconceived conclusion that all of our problems are caused by Cars and evil consumption.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not toxic until 5% (50,000ppm) concentration.
Any detrimental effects of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) including chronic exposure to 3% (30,000ppm) are reversible.
OSHA, NIOSH, and ACGIH occupational exposure standards are 0.5% (5,000 ppm) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (Source)
I did say "somthing above 5000."
Good post though. It sheds some raality on the issue.
I have seen many posts over time that claimed that CO2 was a toxic polutant that was going to choke us all to death very soon if we don't get those taxes in place.
…"it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt."
VJ has bestowed a Hat trick on me.
I am honored.
you are amusing.
this is the most useless series of posts I have ever seen on DeSmog. Troll-baiting is never very productive, but this is ridiculous. Nobody is going to change Gary's mind, folks. He can't distinguish between credible sources and hacks, and doesn't recognize a dead horse when he sees it. He will continue to cling to the belief that somebody is trying to put one over on him. His recent "AGW is in its death throes" approach is based on the same old debunked claims that have been addressed over and over and over … Sad, isn't it?
Fern Mackenzie
So, Fern, now you're calling Spencer a hack? Holy s–t!
Or perhaps I've misunderstood your post. Please tell me that's the case.
but I can't take seriously anyone who believes that intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and no less scientific, than evolutionism. (Faith-Based Evolution, Roy Spencer, TCS Daily, 08 August 2005). In my opinion, that casts doubt on anything he says re: science of any kind.
Fern Mackenzie
Anyone that believes in the scientific method must allow for all possibilities that have not been proven false.
I don't subscribe to intelligent design either, or creation, but until there is proof one way or another, none can be absolutely denied.
That said, it is a pretty weak criteria for dismissing the credibility of a scientist on a completely disconnected area of study.
One is physical science and the other is theology.
Using that criteria I imaging we could eliminate most of the people involved in the climate debate.
I had thought you were above such shallow thought Fern.
I really respected you opinion. Sorry.
I have done considerable reading on the subject of so-called "Intelligent Design," and have drawn my own conclusions as to its status as a theory, ie: without basis in any plausible scientific evidence. Anyone who claims to be a scientist and doesn't dismiss it out of hand casts doubt on his/her adherence to the scientific method in any area of study. This is not shallow. It is a basic principle of vetting someone's credibility. In my own field of study, if I discover that someone has been sloppy in citing sources or overlooking significant evidence, a flag goes up & I double-check everything when consulting that person's research.
If you have trouble with that, that's your problem. I won't lose any sleep for having lost your respect on this. It's one of the reasons that I have a reputation for being thorough.
Fern Mackenzie
By your standards, anyone that believes in a God is incompetent.
The would include Einstein, Davinci, Tesla, …….
Pretty much all notable scientists. Physical science and theology are two separate issues.
Although AGW does closely resemble the Creation science movement, it is not the same.
I don't think you can defend this one Fern.

love my hydro-hoist here in TN. Leave it in lift year-round now. No doubt that they are the best lifts used in any marina around this part of the country and have about half or more of the lift market. Two hard tanks that hold 6000 pounds. Pump inflates them and lifts boat out of water on trailer style bunks. Work like a charm. They are the most expensive but the best. I don't have to deal with ice.
Thanks Volfo, very nice lift but I don't think my budget can do that. I'm trying to find something local to get the cost down.
Thanks for the input.2004 MOBIUS LSV

growing up on a lake in MI in the '80s & '90s everyone used aluminum freestanding hoists. they were great and held up well, except to ice. Saw a few people that decided to try leaving them in over winter and they were totalled... Amazing the power of ice!
One other downfall, they weren't usually anchored, and I did see a few float by the house mid-summer on their canopies! The wind had a habit of flipping them over the dock and they'd float away on their canopy. Crazy. We'd just tow it back and flip it back over. lol.'00 Moomba Kamberra

Speaking of MI and lift flipping, a couple of weeks ago neighbor's lift with the boat (22 foot Centurion) on it flipped over. Lift was totaled, boat has one major gouge in hull but overall not bad, luckily boat righted itself. Cannot believe this happened with all that weight, only thing I can think of is boat maybe being too high on lift raising center of gravity. Was brand new lift and brand new boat (2008 used, but new to him).2008 Outback V

i agree with francis. comparing the releases from the adidas camp and the nike camp, i think adidas has been bringing the goods instead of the trash nike keeps coming up with. Nike needs to step their game up. Adidas just needs to carry on doing what they doing.

We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Mobile Web Design : Completeness Meter
This design pattern is part of the Mobile Web Design series.
There are some use cases which require an overall measurement, some sort of a quantitative analysis to understand how much/what percentage of an activity has been completed. The approach used to indicate this to the user of the website is known as completeness meter.
What is completeness meter
Completeness meter is an indicator/a barometer if you please to denote the overall completeness of a task, an activity etc. It is used to let the user know how much of the work vis a vis the given task they need to complete to get up to a certain level, the level could be measured in percentage terms, numerically, expressed in tags etc.
When to use
The completeness meter should be used in one of the following use case scenarios:-
- The intention is to indicate to the user the overall status they are on vis-à-vis the activity for which the meter has been shown.
- You want to fuel the user's interest by giving them some sort of a measurement figure, something they might have been loathe to complete without that extra bit of incentive.
- When the overall capabilities of the user can vary depending upon the completeness of their activity for instance credit points/trainings conducted etc.
- When the website recognizes/rewards user based on their completeness, it could be a combination of both qualitative and quantitative inputs for instance.
Some of the key advantages of using the meter are:-
- It helps the user in ascertaining their overall progress towards their desired goals/task completion status.
- Helps the site to garner more information about the user, thereby tailoring the content more in sync with that data, for instance the user's hobbies/favorites etc.
Usability guidelines
Some usability guidelines to follow while using the meter are:-
- Provide the user with help/information on how to improve their completeness ratings.
- Always have a textual/figurative implementation of the meter so that the user knows their standings; don't use them internally without letting the user know.
- It might be a good idea to give the user a complete breakup of how the meter readings were arrived at.
- If the use case of the website allows to, think about ways to reward the user with higher completeness ratings, this would motivate the others to get there as well.

How to Select
How to shop for Water Dispenser Faucets
Buying a water dispenser faucet is pretty straightforward—a simple case of mixing form and function. Style must be considered in conjunction with the purpose for which the water dispenser faucet is required. Faucets stick out from above the basin or sink, and dispense a ready stream of water at varying temperatures.
The convenience of a water dispenser faucet can be enhanced by various features including different types of nozzles, handles and even electronic devices. In addition to the practical function of the faucet consideration must be given to the style and design of the equipment.
Modern faucets come in a range of designs that can satisfy the pickiest of customers and Westside Wholesale hold a huge range that will look fantastic in any style of bathroom, kitchen or commercial space.
- Use. The faucet may be placed in one of several locations. Bathrooms, kitchens and work areas all need faucets. However a faucet will a bucket attachment would look out of place in a bathroom and elegant chrome finished faucets would be inappropriate and a costly addition to most workrooms.
- Environment. Busy industrial kitchens are more likely to need faucets that come with spray attachments. Whereas in the tranquil haven of the bathroom a faucet with a touch of luxury of style is likely be better suited. Individual tastes must be factored into any decision.
- Material. Faucets are available in a variety of materials and finishes to match or complement the environment. Faucets can be chosen in black, brass, bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, gray, oil rubbed bronze, stainless steel and white.

Personal Stylist: Jeans Genius
Finding the perfect pair of jeans is a little bit like looking for meaning in a Sweet Valley High novel. In other words, very very tricky. While there is a vast array of styles available to chose from, it's picking the right ones for your shape that is the difficult part. With that in mind I have put together some easy peasy tricks and helpful hints to picking the perfect pair, whatever your body shape!
1. Don't assume that only skinny girls can wear high-end brands. James Jeans and Serfontaine both do styles with a 34 inch waist.
2. Choose neat, fitted cuts rather than wide-legged or flared styles that can add volume. A straight leg or slight boot-cut is ideal.
1. Go for brands that do a 29inch leg, such as Paige Premium Denim or Siwy.
2. High-rise styles will create the illusion of greater height, especially when worn with heels
1. A low-waisted style will work best to create some distance between your bust and your waist, giving a more hourglass effect.
2. Skinny jeans are a no-no, as you'll look top-heavy. Try a slouchier, slightly wider leg, such as J Brands selection.
1. Look for large square pockets or pointed ones and avoid rounded pockets, to balance out your shape.
2. Boyfriend styles work well as they hang off the hips and will make you look slimmer.
Denim styles from left to right:
Best for curvy shapes: Serfontaine Minx straight leg jeans £125,
Best for petite shapes: J Brand Heartbreaker jeans £110,
Best for big bust: Paige Premium Denim Franklin Boy jeans £47.72
Best for pear shapes: J Brand wide legged jeans £89

Vegan Baking Recipes Vegan Bread Recipes Vegan Enriched Bread Recipes Vegan Quick Bread Recipes
Vegan Quick Bread Recipes
A quick bread is any bread leavened with chemical leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. These leavening agents allow quick breads be prepared faster and with less effort. Vegan quick bread recipes usually substitute eggs with egg replacer ingredients such as flax, starches or fruit purées.

I glanced over at my fruit basket yesterday and found four moldy looking apples at the bottom. They had been languishing there for over a week, with no one paying them any attention. Now, I'm a bit of a purist with my apples. I only like them tart and crunchy with faint green veins running through their flesh. Bruised apples with brown spots go straight on my list of foods I most hate to eat. Still, something had to be done with those apples, and without much of a plan, I peeled, cored, and chopped them up.
Then I spied a jar full of demerara sugar that I'd bought recently, and inspiration took form. I decided I'd bake an apple bread. The principle would be the same as banana bread, only since apple has a higher water content, I could consider lowering the amount of fat in my recipe, and under bake slightly, so my cake would remain moist. A small quantity of vinegar provides just enough acid for leavening, and the baking soda helps it rise. This bread bakes up dense.

"See those bananas over there?", I asked, tilting my head towards the end of the aisle at the health food store. "I'll buy fifteen of 'em for half price", I suggested confidently. The cashier paused for a moment, not knowing whether to believe me. Why would anyone want to buy bananas that were almost more suitable for the compost bin than the kitchen for any price? "Sure", he sighed. He knew they were garbage unless I took them in. I laughed to myself when I realized how excited I was to buy bananas that most people wouldn't even think of eating. I started to feel bad about not liberating the others but I had to get home; there was work to do! How cool would it be to peel the bananas, purée them and slow cook them into a thick syrup to use as a base for fruit sweetened banana bread? Finally, something to do with all those bananas laying around in your freezer!
Modified from an oat bread recipe, this Vegan Whole Wheat, Sugar-free, Muesli Quick Bread recipe is my own creation! This bread has no added sugar, is whole wheat, delicious, soft, and filling! Made with Bob's Red Mill Muesli (which does have 5 grams of sugar- if you choose to go completely sugar-free, or do not have access to Bob's Muesli, I have provided an alternate option below) this bread is plain enough to use for lunch sandwiches, but just sweet enough from the raisins to eat as a snack. It only takes about 40 minutes to prepare, uses no yeast, and only 6 ingredients. Enjoy!
Have you ever noticed how some pastries, cakes or breads seem to transgress cultures? Such as banana loaf? Growing up in South Africa, it was one of my favorite breads. Having moved to the United States, I now realize that Americans too have sort of a love affair with this beloved treat. And why not. The combination of sweet, ripe bananas; creamy butter; sugar and more creates a luscious and tender treat that is irresistible. And there are as many recipes for it than there are bakers who love to bake it.

I veganized this Oatmeal Whole Wheat Quick Bread from a recipe found here. All I can say is WOW! Moist, full of texture, earthy and oh so delicious.

This Golden Vegan Corn Bread Recipe takes advantage of nutritional yeast flakes and a touch of maple syrup which gives it a rich, buttery flavor while corn kernels enhance its hearty texture. It's a Northern style corn bread so it features a mixture of corn flour and all-purpose flour. It's baked in a square baking pan instead of a cast iron skillet and designed to be a little sweeter and more moist than its Southern counterpart.
Mattie 2
This Vegan Buttermilk Biscuit recipe makes great vegan dinner rolls that pair well with American feast-style dinners on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. They feature just the right amount of tahini and lemon juice to accurately impart buttermilk flavors.These biscuits are also great served as a snack with a smear of margarine or almond butter. Serve them warm.

September 22nd, 2008
What a week it's been. Monday started off with the usual Math homework in the morning followed by my computer programming class from 2 – 4p.m. These are two subjects that are going to be extremely challenging this semester. I also made it to office hours with my computer class instructor which was a real benefit. A little extra guidance will sure help with my being successful in this class. Most generally through the week I don't take a lot of time for myself so my usual morning ritual at Fitness U.S.A. helps with keeping a handle on my stress level. One of these days I also hope to begin at least a minimal workout routine to assist me in my ongoing weight loss goal.
Tuesday always starts off with getting up at 5:30a.m. get some quick breakfast, some Java and I'm out the door by 6:00. My routine time at fitness is to just swim, whirlpool and shower, because I really like to be at school by 7:00 or shortly after . This is in large part because an 8:00 a.m. morning math class is very challenging to say the least. I also have my SDEV 121: Exploring your Potential class from 4:00 – 6:00p.m. on Tuesdays. This class brings a welcome relief from pounding the math books all day. I've truly enjoyed the SDEV courses that I've taken up to this point because of the Instructor as well as the actual material involved. Honestly said, "It's been beneficial in my overall success during this academic journey." I would highly recommend these classes, as well as the TRiO program to any student looking for support during his/her academic journey.
This part brings me to my definition of journey. It's been incredible. It has always been filled with challenges and amongst those challenges are many accomplishments and also many bumps and bruises. But that's the real part of the journey, to experience some of those falls and to be able to just get back up, dust yourself off and start over again. That being said, with all the academic support available here at the college your chances for success are always increasing.
If you've been able to read between the lines a little, I think you'll see that yes, this week has brought my share of accomplishments as well as a few bumps and bruises.

If I can get a copy, I'll certainly give it a go.
Either too much King or too little reading has left me finding books like LotR a real pain to read... And mine's split into 3 parts (I'm one of those people who finds an omnibus very hard to read).
Thanks for the recommendation you two

Seriously, if all seven Dark Tower books were one book, I'd not be able to read it.

For me, there's nothing better than a mass market paperback. It's lightweight, I can carry it anywhere and the feeling in my hand is the best. I own some omnibuses and they make a good break every now and then, but mmp for me all the way.
June 29th, 2009, 11:28 AM #52
OK folks, let's keep this thread on topic, please. If you want to discuss the merits of omnibuses please take it to:
Omnibus Fantasy Books.
or for the ol' paperback v. hardcover debate:
Poll: Hardcover vs. Paperback? or Hardback or Paperback?
For varying opinions on Gemmell, we have tons of threads on him and Legend ready to read at the click of the ol' SEARCH function or you can review the many, may threads tagged with Gemmell
Last, but not least, Dwagginz -
Regarding Conan, the first and most widely available edition would either be (depending on your country of origin) the first Gollancz Masterwork edition of Conan stories or Conan of Cimmeria: The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian published by Del Rey.

I don't have that particular version, but when it hit the shelves a couple of years ago, it generated quite a discussion:
Object of desire : The Chronicles of Conan (anniversary edition)
Also, here are threads tagged with Conan

Looking For...
Ok. So this would b my first forum deal. I came b/c i have read tons of sf books and am having a dificult time finding the good ones. Im going to try and keep it simple hopefully and i would love some suggestions on what to read. I burn through books at an alarming rate so length or epics are no problem, i actually prefer them. So here is kind of a list of favs and not so much books.
The Dune Series-my absolute favorite
The Termerer Series, The whole series was really good! -Naomi Novik
The Sword of Truth series - Terry Goodkind
Kingkiller chronicles wich were freakin awesome! - Ambercrombie
The Name of the Wind.- Rothfuss
Fire and Ice series - G.r.r Martin
The Runelords series - Farland
The OKs
Assassins Apprentice and such - Hobb
Choice Weopons
The after Frank Herbert Dunes -
The Saga of the Seven Suns - K. J Anderson
The Not So Much
The Malzan Empire books. Couldnt stand the way it was written
N e thing by Terry Brooks
Black Company or such
I probably left some out. Lately I love the brutality of ambercrombie. I love the dark humor and the fighting. I love unlikely heros and come from behind stories i think. but the hero has to have the ability to kick some realy freakin butt.
Also, just picked up Mistborn. So I hope its good. N E help would be great thanks

About first post - I likde Matthew Stover's Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle a lot, but was totally underwhelmed by Caine Black Knife. Blade of Tyshalle wrapped up the story nicely and attempt to reanimate it was complete failure. Disjoint plot, trivial message, complete suspense of disbelief. The Right Hand of God is kicked around by whoever take fancy? Earth elite invade again purely for entertainment, after it was consistently shown it's a question of their life or death? Yep, oppress people is bad however unsympathetic they could be, but does this trivial message worth a book? And on top of it no plot resolution whatsoever. My advice - just forget this book exist and consider Caine saga finished with Blade of Tyshalle.

This is what i think. If u are begginer who is not just giving fantasy/SF a try I recommend jumping into fire - skip Tolkin and go for Gene Wolfe, Philip K.Dick, M.Peake!
If you live through that you have basic of being a real fantasy enthusiast!

Hey, Im new to this forum and I was wondering if anyone could recommend any epic fantasy novels for me to start reading
Ive never read a fantasy novel before, but it seems like something I could really get into.
What Im looking for first and foremost is a well written story with a thought out and engaging plot. Something with magic and battles, and preferably but not necessarily something with a sort of dark tone.
I like stories involving kingdoms and a under dog type of hero; a little romance is always good
A friend who is heavy into sci-fi recommended the chronicles of amber, but admits his never read it, any one care to put this novel into perspective regarding my above described interests?
Thanks in advance

Hi o-guy! Welcome to the forums.
Epic Fantasy is one of the top 2 or 3 segments of Fantasy and Science Fiction, so you've got a lot of writers and books from which to choose. How about this? I throw some author/book suggestions then follow it up with some threads that might be helpful. OK? Here goes:
Many people will suggested George R.R. Martin and he's probable the top writer in the field right now. I'd say hold off for a couple of reasons - his series isn't complete and you want to work you way up to the best.
Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn may work for you - it has elves (Tad calls 'em Sithi), magic, questy things, prophecy, and short-statured folk reminiscent of hobbits. This thread, as well as this thread might give you an idea of forum members' thoughts on the trilogy. I'm a big fan of these books.
Although only the first book has been completed Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind is terrific.
Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever are considered classics of the genre, too. Not nearly as upbeat as LOTR, but very engaging nonetheless.
Peter V. Brett recently launched a very good series with his novel The Warded Man - It tells of three young people coming together to combat nightly demon uprisings.
James Barclay has quite a lot of terrific novels on the shelves in the UK, most featuring his popular mercenary group The Raven. The first, Dawnthief will soon be published in the US.
Robin Hobb is well regarded in this forum, primarily for her trilogy of trilogies:
The Farseer is the first and consists of Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assasin, and Assassin's Quest.
Of course there's Lord of the Rings, but you knew that already.
Raymond E. Feist doesn't get discussed much here, but his early novels are very entertaining and what many consider gateways into the world of fantasy. Give Magician a try.
Brandon Sanderson is a relatively new author but has banged out 5 big fat fantasy novels in a very short time. His Mistborn trilogy is solid, has
great magic, very good characters and is complete. First book is The Final Empire
Here are those threads:

Penn Museum Series Complements One Day in Pompeii Special Exhibition at The Franklin Institute
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—Ancient Pompeiians failed to recognize the warning signs of their famous entry into history. Perhaps the residents' libertine life of lavish dinner parties, evocative frescoes and raucous sex in this Early Imperial Roman town distracted them from noticing violent earth tremors as early as three days before Mt. Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption on August 24, 79 CE.
Beginning October 20, the Penn Museum invites the public to delve into the sordid, the scientific, and the surviving details of this ancient city with the Pompeii Lecture Series, a four-part series presented on select Sunday afternoons in conjunction with the Franklin Institute's special exhibition One Day in Pompeii (November 9, 2013 through April 27, 2014). Acclaimed presenters include Penn Environmental Science Professor Emeritus Dr. Robert Giegengack, Penn Museum Associate Curator Dr. Janet Monge, Penn Art History Lecturer Victoria Coates, and Penn Museum Curator Dr. Brian Rose.

Penn Museum's Innovative "Touch Tours" Ancient Egyptian Culture Program,
Designed with and for Visitors with Blindness or Low Vision,
Expands in its Second Season
"This tour provided the chance of a life time to get up close to some fantastic objects that the ancient Egyptians regarded as commonplace. Not many people, either sighted or visually impaired, would ever have the opportunity to place their hands where craftsmen's hands toiled thousands of years ago."
-—2012 Touch Tours visitor Rita Lang, Manager of Innovative Programs and Volunteers, Center for Vision Loss, Lehigh Valley, PA
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—Following a successful pilot season in the fall of 2012, the "Insights into Ancient Egypt" Touch Tours program at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, designed with and for Museum visitors who are blind or have low vision, is expanding, thanks to extensive input and feedback from members of the community.
The second season of the "Insights into Ancient Egypt" Touch Tour program begins Monday, September 30, with longer visits and a host of innovative changes. The program expands from one to two hours, as guests are invited to discover ancient Egyptian culture through a new classroom learning experience, with tactile diagrams, through connections with both long-time Museum docents and new assistant docents with visual impairment, and through new opportunities for artistic expression. The central gallery experience—exploring through touch several ancient Egyptian artifacts on display—continues with new pieces and specially made replicas.
Trish Maunder, Project Coordinator for Special Tours and a disabilities program consultant for the Museum, worked with Egyptian section Associate Curator Jennifer Wegner, the Museum's Community Engagement Department, and many volunteer Museum docents to develop the program and its expanded offerings. Through focus groups and feedback from low and no-vision guests, she learned that participants wanted more information, educational opportunities, and even outlets for artistic expression—all included in this season's offerings.

The Penn Museum in Philadelphia Celebrates 100 Years with the Largest Ancient Egyptian Sphinx
in the Western Hemisphere
PHILADELPHIA, PA 2013—It came by boat, arriving in Philadelphia in October 1913—an ancient Egyptian Sphinx from Memphis, Egypt, excavated by renowned archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie and presented to the Penn Museum on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Extraordinary by any measure, the Sphinx was carved from one massive piece of red granite, bearing the names of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II, and his son and successor, the Pharaoh Merenptah, both of whom reigned during Egypt's 19th Dynasty (1292–1190 BCE).

Bone Tumor Identified in 120,000-Year-Old Rib of Neandertal
From Famous Cave Excavation Site of Krapina in Central Europe
PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 2013—The first-known definitive case of a benign bone tumor has been discovered in the rib of a young Neandertal who lived about 120,000 years ago in what is now present-day Croatia. The bone fragment, which comes from the famous archaeological cave site of Krapina, contains by far the earliest bone tumor ever identified in the archaeological record. Details of the tumor confirmation, announced by an international research team led by Penn Museum Associate Curator and Paleoanthropologist Janet Monge, is available in a research paper, "Fibrous dysplasia in a 120,000+ year old Neandertal from Krapina, Croatia," in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE.

We have just got back from a Book Start Plus Workshop and it was fantastic!
Book Start
We have just got back from a Book Start Plus Workshop and it was fantastic!
Book Start are a great organisation funded by the government whose sole aim is to get more books and reading into all homes. At our baby's 8 month check up she was given a bag full of free books from Book Start and we were handed some literature on the importance of reading to our child every day.
They also run these workshops across the country which are aimed at babies to 5 year olds and are completely free.
In this morning's session C was able to play and interact with about 15 other 0-5 year olds in a large room with lots of toys. All areas of the room were themed and by each set of toys was a large box of books, story props and puppets to do with the same theme.
There were cooking and food stories in the home corner, a wild animal section, farms and farm animals, under the sea (with bath books too!), nursery rhymes and many more.
We were able to choose 9 books or story props to take home with us and keep for a few weeks until we want to swap them, just like a library service.
After tidy up time there was a lovely sing-song and story time using toys from the story to help re-tell it. The children all loved it and spontaneously clapped when it finished!
The best bit though (according to C's expression) was the free box of raisins at the end!
We will definitely be going again.
