Looks like you are really getting the 2-Stone dialed in. Pretty spectacular pie there John.
Thanks! While I was on Amazon looking at SS wire, I came across this. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008XXVM/?tag=pizzamaking-20I'm tempted (and lazy ). Looking to cut low moisture mozz (not fresh).Barry
I have to give all the credit for this simple but effective idea to Bert (MightyPizzaOven). It's not elegant, and its not as cool-looking as Bill's (wheelman), but it actually works pretty well.
one of these arrived to my house today. I'll try it and report back. If nothing else, I'll be using it for potatoe pancakes
That's the size I'm lookin for
All this talk of cutting the cheese and pushing harder...
That's what she said....
It was only a matter of time.... John K
The thread title always cracks me up. Brings out the boy in me.Since you asked...I prefer the one cheek sneak

Drop in for a quick game or stay for the entire time; the focus is a fun environment. Apart from the sheer enjoyment of the game, it is a great way to strengthen a young mind and exercise thinking skills that are so important in a child's education. We are always looking for new members and have a willing teacher to help children learn the game. We hope to see you and your kids there.

Peel Away™ 4" Pots, Set of 3, Brown
Customers Also Bought
Exclusive | Peel Away™ Seed Pots Give You an Earlier and Bigger Harvest
- Reusable fabric pots air-prune roots for healthier transplants
- Peel-away sides minimize transplant shock
- Pots are washable and store flat
- Choice of Red or Brown
- Set of 3
When it's time to move your tomato and other vegetable seedlings into larger pots, Peel Away Pots are an innovative, effective and convenient option. They're made from VELCRO® brand fabric, which air-prunes roots so plants form healthy, dense root systems. This ensures optimal water and nutrient uptake and eliminates spiraling, which results in vigorous, robust plants. When it's time to transplant your seedlings into the garden, the peel-away sides of these transplant pots make it easy to remove plants without disturbing roots, minimizing transplant shock. This leads to an earlier and bigger harvest of juicy, ripe tomatoes and other vegetables. Pots are washable, reusable and store flat.

I am using for transplants that have outgrown the seed starting tray, but are not yet ready to go

Best Uses
- Greenhouse Transplants
Item is lightweight and easy to store when not in use.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Easy to assemble
- Easy to store
- Good size
- Holds moisture well
Best Uses
- Starting Seeds
These allow you to manage your watering a lot easier. I find the cow pots must be watered at least once a day, where these do a better job of moisture retention so I suspect they would work well for people who can't tend to their seedlings every day.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I haven't had a chance to use the break-away seed starters yet, but everything I have ordered for years in CA and MO have been wonderful. These will replace some similar adaptations I have made. Great idea, reusable; looking forward to starting seeds next month.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Easy to use
- No Damaged Roots
- Assembly tricky at first
Best Uses
- Pre-final Transplant
For the first one, I kept getting the sides mis-aligned. Then I prefolded the tabs and everything worked fine. They are attractive - important with our short growing season - things get started indoors. Very easy to 'open' and transplant to permanent 'home' - just unfasten sides. And they are reusable - no waste.
- Was this a gift?:

- Reusable

Using to start seedlings for transplant after frost. Holds adequate soil and seed. Peel-away will be less stressful on tender plants. Reusable which is good for the environment. Economically priced.

Just an example of our honbadzuke service...
Just an example of our honbadzuke service...
damn son!
"A recipe has no soul. You as the cook must bring soul to the recipe." -Thomas Keller
I've herd hon-bazuke referred to like a mizuno knife but what is the process.
Specifically, it is to put the proper working edge on a new knife.
it translates roughly to putting the real edge or final edge on the knife... it is the final sharpening of the knife preparing it for use for the first time. Many japanese craftsmen intentionally do not do this, so that the customer can put his or her own edge on the knife (as personal preference has a large part to do with it). However, some, upon request, will do so. More often, however, retail stores will offer this for customers in japan. We do the same here.

Fills in the dips in our older mattress and makes it feels like a new one again. So, comfortable that we don't want to get out. The pad thickness is fabulous, and yes, your deep pocket fitted sheet will fit over it and it doesn't shift. The backing is made of spun poly, which you will need to watch out for when drying - even on low heat. If possible, line dry. This type of backing likes to melt even on low heat. This is the only drawback on this lovely MADE IN THE USA mattress pad.
I used this to help cool down my new memory foam mattress and it did the trick.
This pad represents excellent value for the money. It feels luxurious, has very deep pockets, and fits my California King mattress perfectly. I am a very happy customer.
I purchased this mattress pad after purchasing a new mattress which was a little too firm. This mattress pad, used along with my featherbed, added the perfect amount of padding to make my mattress and sleep perfect! I would highly recommend this pad - It is well made and very plush! I plan to purchase another one very soon.
This is an awesome mattress pad cover. I did a lot of reseach trying to find the best mattress cover and there is no doubt this one was it !! It is thick, plush, almost like a sateen feel to the top, and it fit perfect. Well worth the money !!
Excellent quality, so no problems there. Great value for the price. I was worried about the depth and the size, but for no reason. It fit my oversize Queen with no problems. No stretching in the corner. Mattress is 14in Foam.
Fits perfect. Love the density and softness. Washes great. Don't have a bad thing to say about it.
This is a very nice mattress pad. The deep pockets worked very well on our 24 inch deep mattress.
This fit mattress very well. Looks good and expensive. Excellent in quality, use, and enhances sleep.
Very comfortable fit for our Cal King Mattress...good quality...would buy again.

Pearl River Necklace bridge: a twisted solution to an unusual traffic problem
Lok Ma Chau joining Hong Kong and mainland China (Image: Google Maps)
Article Summary
Luckily there aren't many countries that drive on the opposite side of the road and share borders. However, they do exist, such as China, which drives on the right, and the former British colony of Hong Kong, and former Portuguese colony of Macau, both which drive on the left. This can pose an interesting problem for engineers and road planners, but Dutch architectural firm, NL Architects, has come up with a bridge with a twist – a concept that not only puts the drivers on the correct side of the road physically, but helps reinforce that fact visually to help get the drivers into the mindset of driving on the opposite side of the road.

Last week Jess and Sara and I went to a CHIRP event, The First Time: First Digs at Beat Kitchen. Like the last two times (1, 2, we had so much fun! This time I only knew one of the readers, Andrew, but as always, they were all great.
We went to Beat Kitchen early and ate dinner. It was half price pizza night and the pies were pretty decent. Because we were there early, we were able to get a seat in the second row. Actually, this time it seemed like everyone in attendance got a seat, where last time, it was so packed, it was standing room only.
All of the essays were good and I admire anyone who has the guts to write something and then stand up and read it in front of a room of people. That said, I loved Steve Forstneger's story of when he moved to the super dangerous neighborhood of Lincoln Park. He had me rolling on the ground. Hilarious.
Again, after each essay, the band played a song of the writer/reader's choosing. Again, the band was fabulous. They have such range, they played everything from the theme to Three's Company to Cyprus Hill. Speaking of which, Insane in the Membrane was one of my favorites of the night. It was by the request of Andrew Huff. Here's a short clip of it:
If you're interested, you can read Andrew's essay here.
The event was $10 and all proceeds went to benefit CHIRP. The next event is going to be in July. Follow CHIRP's Facebook page to make sure you get alerted as to the exact date! You won't want to miss it.

"bleeding-edge" has made me scarred, not for life, but for enough to avoid the shiniest shiny new stuff. Today I wait at least a two days before I touch the latest and greatest, not two hours as I used to.
Phoronix: Gallium3D Pipe-Video To Be Merged To Mesa Master
The next release of Mesa, which will be released as either Mesa 7.12 or Mesa 8.0 (assuming OpenGL 3.0 compliance) next January, is already beginning to receive some exciting features. Mesa 7.11 isn't being released until the end of this month, but the changes taking place in Git master are quite enticing for those wishing to live on the bleeding-edge of open-source Linux graphics drivers...
"bleeding-edge" has made me scarred, not for life, but for enough to avoid the shiniest shiny new stuff. Today I wait at least a two days before I touch the latest and greatest, not two hours as I used to.
article how to install newes mesa, drm, drivers, whatever to get newes from code repo driver stack?
I would like to test newest opensource drivers, but they lack power managment for me right this moment, but I do not mind to set up new linux instance just to test this new graphic stuff.
But more important is:
Do the videos play without tearing? That's actually quite a big problem for many people. I use catalyst on my laptop and I see this problem extremely with dualscreen. The tear-free feature kind of works but introduces something like micro-laggs into the videos.
I know this is hard especially to sync with two screens but if there is finally some magic to make it work this would be a killer feature.
You really don't need an article for this. Just make sure you use a distro with up to date components (ddx, drm, kernel) and after cloning from git it's a simple matter of autogen, configure and make.
Be sure to install the drivers in a non-system wide prefix and use environment variables to run the experimental stuff. Then there's no risk of screwing something up.
"finally" ? probably, for about half a year the feature is there.
i'm using r600g on RV770CE(4730) with dual-screen (real dual-screen, not xrandr/xinerama bullshit) and there is no tearing or lag whatsoever.
mesa, libdrm and xf86-video-ati from git, kernel is 2.6.39. but i pretty sure there are bunch of releases with that. so, stop asking already ! it's only a problem for half-baked binary crap.
"xrandr bullshit"?
yeah, xrandr IS real dual screen.
Can't get any better than that...
I think the OP just confused xinerama and xrandr?
Well, I have a E350 machine that would welcome this!
So, waiting to test it soon!

E-Z UP 10 FT. x 10 FT. Dome II Recreational Canopy
Have had one now for about 6 years. While it at times is a little difficult to get up, it works well and hold up even with fairly strong winds as long as it is securely tied down. Have had it up in 20 mph winds with gusts to 30. Still working fine.

This is my second purchase of the same item. Works great, very easy to put up but it does help having a second person helping. I recommend this to anyone. It will last as long as you take care of it!

Excellent canopy!
This was purchased for a girls soccer team to have some shade while seated. This canopy was ideal. It was easy to put up and take down. Great product!

E-Z UP Dome Tent
Delivery was fast. Product is as described in ad. However, two people are needed to set up. Very satisfied.
August 17, 2014
It's True
It worked like a charm. Like the labe states, E Z up and it's E Z down also. Not a single problem with this product.

E-Z NOT up
Nothing easy about this item. I struggled with the help of two other people; we could not get the framework up. Furthermore the spokes of the frame, which supports the canopy, are telescoped and they kept sliding apart as we pushed.

Dome II
This product was not satisfactory for our use. The legs and arms to hold up the canopy were too flimsy. For regular use, I do not believe this tent would hold up for very long. If you just want temporary shade and will not use it very often it would be acceptable.

I had a cheaper EZ-UP on the Tx. beach a year or two ago and it failed in the wind. I think one of the bolts undid itself. This model did better and all the bolts seems to be secured with some thread locker. It held up in as hard a breeze as you would want to be out in. Dicks had the best price and delivered ontime.

successful first time use
I used the canopy for the first time at a four day music festival. It was raining when we set up for the first time and the canopy went up with ease in a couple of minutes. We put the canopy over our tent and it rained the entire day and the canopy held up great. It never got windy and it never poured so I don't know for sure how it would hold up in worse weather conditions but for a first use it was great. It does come with four pretty solid stakes but I also bought the weighted bags to go with it.
the blue tarp off the back in the picture does not come with the canopy.

Worked Like a Charm
Used the EZ-Up Dome II 10'x10' Instant Shelter on a 3 day camping weekend in PA and it worked flawlessly. When packed in the roller bag, it fit in the back of my SUV without issue. Set-Up was easy once the canopy was secured (my came packed separately and needed to be attached during its first use). After that, my wife and I had it up in less than 5 minutes. We purchased the mesh screen as an add-on and once assembled, it fit nicely over and around a standard camping picnic table. Kept the bugs out all weekend making eating a joy. I would definitely recommend this product.

This pot rack looks great and is a nice space saver in our small kitchen. Two things kept me from giving it five stars. 1) The hooks slide around so when I try to take a pot down, I often slide it to the side instead of pulling it off the hook. 2) The top shelf is so narrow, nothing will actually fit on it. Overall, though, I'm happy with the purchase.
I would not recommend the product. First, of all the assembly instruction guide is almost useless and it does nothing to help non power tool savvy customers. The fact that the wood pieces of the rack can be damaged when inside the original packaging does not set well either. Don't be fooled by the "Rack is easy to install and includes all hardware needed to set up," part of the item description. I will say the wall rack looks nice, just not close up.
I gave this pot rack 4 stars even though the "out-of-the-box" performance was, well...iffy...at best. The overall design is wonderful: it's sleek and compact/the hanging system is point by point movable/it looks incredibly rich when in place. BUT... the quality control person at the factory was asleep on their job, I think. The stainless steel supports, while lovely and rounded, needed FOUR drilled holes for the hanging, and somebody forgot to drill ONE of them! Luckily, I have a friend with a drill press as the supports are of a quality stainless steel, meant to handle any kind of load. Then? When that same friend went to install the thing? There's this 36 inch shelf that tops the whole deal (it's great for decoration purposes: I put my big stockpot and some coffee pots up there), well? The very thin shelf had become warped while in the package. We were able to position it, cupped side down, and make it work though. Still, with all the manufacturing defects taken into consideration? This thing is unbelievably AWESOME. I've had alot of pot racks in my time and this design cannot be beat for both functionality and overall esthetics.
I am in pan heaven. In fact, I now stay home from work just staring at my pans. If they weren't so beautifully displayed, I wouldn't think twice about them. But now, they are showcased like pieces of art in a museum. I'm going to order out tonight, because I hesitate to disturb my pans.
A really great price & a very nice pot rack. Thanks again for a job well done.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. This cancer usually grows slowly and rarely spreads to other tissues in the body.
Basal cell carcinoma is rarely fatal but it can cause damage to the nearby tissue. If there is risk of damage, the cancer may need treatment or removal.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The growths invade and take over nearby tissue. It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells but is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
Areas of skin that are damaged have higher risk of cancer. Skin that is regularly exposed to the sun is most likely to develop skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma may also develop in skin that has scars, burns, or inflammatory skin diseases.
Factors that increase your risk of developing basal cell carcinoma include:
Symptoms of basal cell carcinoma include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The doctor will look at the skin growth. A sample of the growth will be taken and examined for cancer cells. This examine will help determine the stage and type of the cancer. Your doctor will use this information to guide treatment and make a prognosis.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
For people who are not able to have surgery, other treatment options include:

Phoronix: GNOME & Mono Made Love At Microsoft Last Week
The "GNOME and Mono Festival of Love 2012" has now ended in Boston, which was taking place at one of Microsoft's research and development centers...
good to see some advancement in the apps.
and lol nice pic.
So now Gnome is infected with Mono?
Not funny
Gnome has had mono bindings (and entire apps written in mono languages) for years, so in the case you weren't being sarcastic, get over it... it's been around for several years now.
We should make sure that any work we collaborate with Microsoft on is licensed under a copyleft license (such as GPLv2, or ideally GPLv3) so that they can't take advantage of us. If we can accomplish that much, I'd say that dealing with them is perfectly OK. Let them spend money on the gnome community and they won't be able to "embrace and extend" our software without sharing their source changes, which would just let us make a non-MSFT distribution containing all their improvements but without the bits we don't want.
Ah thats the idea.
MS destroys the Linux desktop by making it so *innovative*, nobody can use it anymore.
Indeed. The anti-MS bigots should probably avoid ever using C or C++, since Microsoft hosts meetings for the ISO committee as well. Or JavaScript, or Python, or Ruby, or Bash (yeah, really), all used within Microsoft. Or libraries like SQLite, Lua, zlib, libpng, etc. that have been used in or even funded by Microsoft. Oh, right, fuck, Microsoft contributes code to the Linux kernel now, too. Time to abandon Linux and switch to something which one of Microsoft's 180,000 employees+contractors hasn't taken an interest in, I guess.
I agree with allquixotic, dont let MS take advantage over Linux.
They're still experimenting with your dosages, I see.
But seriously, I remember reading an interview with Steve Ballmer where he said very specifically that he intended to "beat Linux at it's own game." It was a pretty sinister statement when taken along with the rest of the piece. When coupled with Microsoft's known policy of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, caution and a little zeal here might not be a bad idea. We probably should watch them like a hawk when they start acting all warm and fuzzy.
You can't talk your way out of a situation you've behaved yourself into.
I just threw up a little in my mouth there.
I always remember why GTK was started....... because of Qt license! And now, GTK is full of Microsofts stuff....... there has to be something wrong with the community.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — Farming in Cobb County was once done on rural landscapes and wide-open vistas populated by a few far-flung silos and farmhouses. Not anymore. Today's Cobb County farm is only a few acres and likely to be surrounded by strip shopping centers and subdivisions. When the cock crows at one of these "urban farms," someone's going to hear it. When manure is hauled out of a coop, someone's going to smell it. These two worlds can coexist, say those who follow the organic and eat-local movements, but that doesn't mean tensions won't rise on occasion, as they did last week at a public hearing on the county's chicken ordinance. Today's health-conscious shopper is looking for "free-range," ''grass-fed," ''organic" and "certified naturally grown" so they may be more willing to endure the potential downsides of the movement. But not all have seen the light.
And at last week's hearing, tempers flared on both sides. One man was led away in handcuffs.
Foods that ease the conscience
Brooke Schembri, a registered dietitian with WellStar, said the benefits go beyond that of physical health. Eating locally produced food is good not only for the body but also for the environment, and your own conscience, she said.
"I definitely recommend eating organic food whenever possible," she said.
Schembri points clients to two separate lists that could help them eat better: the "Dirty Dozen" and the "Clean 15."
The shoppers' guides are written by the Environmental Working Group, which is a team of scientists, engineers, policy experts, lawyers and computer programmers who review government data and conduct their own lab tests to expose threats to consumers' health and the environment while looking for solutions, according to the group's website.
The Dirty Dozen is a list of the 12 fruits and vegetables that typically have the highest level of pesticides, and the Clean 15 is a list of the 15 fruits and vegetables with the lowest pesticides. High levels of pesticides have been linked to cancer, nerve cell damage, infertility and impaired fetal development, Schembri said.
Clucking about chickens
As for the environment, specifically dealing with chickens, she said some people are concerned about what large-scale commercial chicken farms may do to increase pollution or greenhouse gas emissions because they rely on trucks to transport the birds long distances.
Another reason that some choose to raise their own chickens or stick to eating only organic or free-range chicken eggs, has to do with people being upset with how the chickens are raised.
"(Free-range chickens) are in a more natural living environment, as opposed to a chicken house that could have 50,000 chickens packed in," Schembri said.
Over the last few years, Schembri said these potential hazards and awareness have piqued consumers' interests and steered them towards the free-range, grass-fed, organic or certified naturally grown routes.
She also thinks people are just interested in supporting their local farmers if they can.
Where the farm meets the public
Joseph Pond is a resident of east Cobb whose family enjoys locally raised meat. He tried explaining the benefits of local food production to the Cobb County Commission in an attempt to keep his backyard chicken coop.
"My wife is a very health-conscious vegetarian who came to me one day and said, 'I want to raise chickens,'" he said. "I thought she was out of her mind and then two years later, I OK'd it."
Pond dug into the how-tos of the practice, researched the benefits and even visited a few coops to determine which kind of birds to raise.
In raising his nearly dozen hens, Pond said he noticed the eggs were much larger than store-bought eggs and he personally could taste the difference.
Although the family got rid of their coop about a year and a half ago due to a county ordinance, Pond said they continue to try and buy organic or free-range eggs.
Pond also said he believes there has been a movement towards these routes of picking foods over the last couple years because people are "just more health conscious than they used to be."
"People are eating better, trying to fight obesity," he said. "They don't know what kinds of hormones are put into these eggs, and they either don't know what the process is, or they do know what the process is."
An old farm springs back to life
Andy Bray is one west Cobb resident who has been able to keep his coop because he's living on the right amount of acreage. He operates Bray Family Farms in Powder Springs.
At his 23-acre farm, which has been in Bray's family for at least three generations, he raises around 300 free-range chickens and collects their eggs. He has about a dozen each of grass-fed cows, goats and pigs, and grows organic fruits and vegetables.
"I'm not certified organic, but we do organic practices," he said. "I don't try to buy into that hype. I'm not going to pay somebody $650 a year to say I'm organic."
He said all his meat is USDA approved.
Bray also said they haven't been practicing free-range, grass-fed or organic for long but decided to take these routes because they wanted to lean towards providing a healthier product for consumers.
"Across the board, everybody is wanting to get away from the growth hormones and antibiotics used in conventional farming," he said.
His family recently purchased the old Griffin Farms, a 15.4-acre property on Powder Springs Road, to start up the same type of set-up.
Bray said they will hire interns to live in the farmhouse and help tend to the animals and vegetation and manage a roadside stand that sells directly to the public.
"We've already got part of it plowed up to get ready for spring planting but will try to open the farm stand in the next month or so," he said.
The property will also become an "agra tourism" spot for his family business.
They plan to host farm-to-table dinners, allow visitors to purchase their produce and make it an attraction for people.
"We're turning Griffin Farms back into a working farm," he said. "The whole nine yards but with the main focus for the public to come and check us out."
Hitting the markets
In the meantime, Bray sells his meats and vegetables at various farmers markets throughout the metro Atlanta area, including the Marietta Farmers Market on the Square, and according to the local market director Johnny Fulmer, he's one of many vendors who have chosen to grow organic foods and raise free-range and grass-fed animals.
"People want to buy local and buy nutritious," Fulmer said, adding that a majority of his younger vendors are focused on the practices.
"I would personally never go into a store and look to see what's in a product . but we have customers who look to see what the ingredients are in a peach jelly, how fresh is it or if it has any preservatives in it," he said.
Fulmer also said vendors who raise free-range chickens and their eggs typically sell them for upwards of $5 a dozen and sell out every weekend. That's also the case for many of the organic fruits, vegetables and free-range meats.
"The young customers, mostly in their early 30s, are the driving force behind this organic or certified naturally grown movement," he said. "They have young children and want to feed them pesticide-free foods."
More coops coming?
Neil Tarver, an agriculture agent with the University of Georgia/Cobb County Extension Office, also said the interest in planting organic gardens or keeping chickens has grown, and he often gets calls about how to start one or both.
"I haven't heard a lot of people ask specifically about free-range verses conventional chickens, but increased interest in producing your own food in general has gone up," he said.
"I would say that a good percentage is interested in doing organic because safety of the food is one of their main concerns. They are concerned about what's going into it, how it's imported, etc.."
Tarver doesn't believe the organic or "keeping it local" movements will cut into the pockets of conventional farmers.
"The farmers who were mainly doing it are the small ones and they have such a small portion of the market, they aren't making a difference competitively to farmers," he said, adding that it would be very costly and labor intensive if farmers with lots of acreage to go solely organic.
"I'm a firm believer in organic practices," he said. "But on a large scale, it's going to be very hard for a farmer to make a profit using organic."

Well, there are many pro-Chinese and Persian falsifications of the "wild nomads" etc. about the origin of Genghis Khan and his Power in the official History.
A well-grounded rebuttal of these chinese-persian myths about "incredible cruelty of nomadic mongol-tatar conquerors", and about "a war between the Tatars and Genghis Khan", as well as a lot of from the real Tatar (Turkic) History, what the official historians hidden from the public, you can learn in the book of an independent historian Galy Yenikeyev "Forgotten Heritage of Tatars".
On the site of Smashwords is an electronic version of this book in English – it's easy to find on the Internet.
Perhaps you know, that a famous Tatar historian-scientist D. Iskhakov wrote in 2000: "the real history of Tatars, of the people in every respect historical, is not written yet".
However, recently was published an above mentioned book by Galy Yenikeyev, about the unwritten (hidden) real history of Tatars.
There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book.
This book presents a new, or rather "well-forgotten old" information about the true history of the Tatars and other Turkic peoples.
Also it must be said: now very few people know that Genghis Khan was a Turk and a great leader of the Turks, but some of his descendants forgot him.
Tatars of Genghis Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among the Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Tatars, Uighurs, and many others.
And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite the politicians of the tsars Romanovs and Bolsheviks dictators had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations...
Therefore, primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names "Mongol" and "Tatar" ("Tartar") in the medieval Eurasia:
the name "Mongol" until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name.
While "the name "Tatar" was "the name of the native nation of Genghis Khan …" , "… Genghis Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the "Mongolian"…" (Russian academic-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century). All of this is confirmed by many other little-known facts.
About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of the Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, which was hidden from us, had been written, in detail and proved, in the book "Forgotten Heritage of Tatars" (by Galy Yenikeyev).
There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book.
This e-book you can easily find in the Internet, on Smashwords company website: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/175211
If evidences show that, that is the situation then, then there are reasons to believe. The possible differences lie on the global population then and now and the technologies employed by that generation and our generation. If evidences show that the global population then was so small compared to today's population and mechanization of operations was so minimal then, then, what are the other factors from where we can attribute climate change?
Very interesting article. It is really scandalous how man-made climate change as a result of the emission of greenhouse gases could modify even the history of the 13th century... I wonder what the IPCC was doing back then...
You know that there was extensive forest clearing across Europe and North America at this period in time?
Much of the information I have received before suggest that when the nomads had a hard time suffering a natural disaster such as drought would they invade their neighbouring countries for killing and looting. The proposition made in this article suggests another possibility that they united and invaded during a favourable climatic situation for making a great empire in Eurasia. Now that some scientists of different perspectives have come together to gather evidences to verify the then circumstances surrounding the idea. It is very interesting for these guys to conduct such study to look into something which might lead to more findings and investigations. The very brutal Mongolians conquered and occupied China for about a 100 hundreds years but much of their remnants had been destroyed by the angry Chinese who hated so much their barbaric treatment during their era called Yuan Dynasty. Wish these guys luck.
I am sorry, why is there a Turkic horseman on the cover??
In his 1999 book, "Catastrophe", David Keys did an intriguing job of back-tracking historical events to a 535 AD volcanic eruption and its subsequent impact on the global climate, which in turn changed the course of history, including the impact on the horse-based cultures in Mongolia. It's fascinating to see how a single, random act of nature can so completely change the currents of human history.
Ok, so my quesiton is how was climate change in 1200s caused by Republicans? There has got to be a connection! lol
Pls look up the term "anthropogenic" in the dictionary.
Pls look up the term "humor" in the dictionary. :P Sheesh.
I've read that the Mongol conquest of China was the equivalent of the Picts from Northern Scotland conquering the Roman Empire.
Perhaps an equally compelling study needs to show how climate may have weakened the Chinese, paving the way for a perhaps easier conquest?
Well, when the climate got warmer, Mongol women who grew up on the open plains were a lot more "open" than the culturally restricted Han women and dressed "less", therefore got the 'attentions' of the scout soldiers of the Sung Empire.
Instead of guarding the walls, they spent their time watching Mongol 'dances'.
I mean what else could warmer climate cause the conquest of the Sung?
Not really. The guy who made such a comparison is an idiot.
Northern nomads occupying what are present-day Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang had always been formidable military foes of the Chinese empire. Conquest of China by these nomads was nothing new by the time Genghis Khan arose - what was new, however, was that the Mongols were the first to conquer China south of the Yangtze.
The Picts of Scotland have got nothing against these guys. A more apt comparison is the entire Germanic horde, never civilizing and invading again and again for two thousand years.
I wonder why the Amazon Empire didn't take over South and North America...
Necessity is the mother of invention, tropical climates provide more and demand less and consequently require comparatively little human innovation.
That's a particularly dumb observation @Spectacularj1. The adaptations made by people living in tropical climates making ingenious use of what is available to them show up your observation. Their subsequent speed adaptation to new tech and animals when it is finally available to them is another nail. Geo-historians in particular have shown why civilisational advances have a great deal to do with geography, availability of plants that are suitable for agriculture and large animals capable of domestication, etc. Read something like Guns, Germs and Steel, which is a wonderful writeup of this theory.
There was no empire. There were independent tribes and there were confederations based around languages, and there were Amazonian people who lived deep into the Andes, but there was never enough coherence to ever say there was an empire. In fighting amongst these tribes was near universal. A good overview of the Amazonian situation pre and post settlement can be found in John Hemming's Red Gold.
It's correct, and I have read Guns, Germs, and Steel, as well as Collapse, and War and Peace and War. The problem here is that you completely misunderstand what I stated regarding a subject I understand far better than you.
What I did not say was: people in tropical climes are dumb. What I say was Tropical climes provide MORE.
Meaning - less need to make clothes (and make thread, needles, learn to sew), less need to design and create dwellings that conserve heat, less need to create agriculture and husbandry. Less need for peoples to cooperate to accomplish complex tasks - demanding climates require this. Do you understand now? One of the commenters on this thread already succinctly pointed this out - and not by chance.
Of course, you'll probably point out why aren't we ruled by Eskimo's? Because their environment cannot support the population densities required for the next few advances civilizations require in order to function at a more complex level.
Trust me, this is something that I have given far more thought to than you. Before calling others "dumb" take a moment to think of some of the possibilities you failed consider within the first 15 seconds of reading someone's post.
The Little Ice Age also collapsed France as a major European power in the 14th century and exacerbated the Bubonic Plague (cold temperatures kept people confined in close quarters). The advantage of the Medieval Warm Period likely also played a roll in allowing Christendom to launch the Crusades.
If you want to take it further, you could probably claim that the Little Ice Age resulted in reduced resources causing a Warring States Period in Europe (Middle-Age through Reformation and Age of Discovery) which in turn created an environment of hyper competition and innovation thus allowing Europeans (also by gift of geography) to get a leg up on the rest of humanity and thusly dominate - until their own invention of banking/finance finally doomed them (something 2 World Wars could not...).
"The Little Ice Age also collapsed France as a major European power in the 14th century...."
Another reason for us to be thankful for.
This is what the result of the education system produces? Not only can these things not even be correlated with statistical significance but there is no logic tree that links this 'potential scenario'.
All the pieces, all the data, all the information and continually produce drivel and no knowledge. Are there any more questions about the deterioration of the the Golden Mountain anymore?
Through this logic, the equatorial countries would be the most powerful. Yet they not only defeated themselves, they became the poster children for morally bankrupt and continue to act as the scourge of aggregated society - even within some countries this is true (ie Italy and the Cash for the South program).
Shame on you Economist. You are continually providing concrete evidence to devalue your publication.
I didn't know Italy was located on the Equator.
IF this theory is correct=== then all the tropical countries would have been the strongest and the most powerful, -- in History
CONVENTIONAL wisdom have it that it were the Cold temperate countries that grew strong and powerful
WHEREAS the countries that were in the tropics and warm sub-tropics (eg Africa) were backward
It is too simplistic to think that the equatorial countries, due to consistently high temperatures and rainfall, should therefor be the most productive, in agricultural terms.
In fact, the lands of the temperate countries are much more productive - mainly because of rich, deep soils built up via the 4 seasons.
Tropical lands have very poor soils, thus mediocre agricultural productivity.
Add to that, in the case of humanity, "necessity is the mother of invention".
Extended cold winters require preparation (can't just pluck mangoes off a tree year-round for food), driving innovation.
Many tropical areas also suffer from a lack of domesticable animals, and an abundance of disease-carrying insects. And yes, their soils are quite poor. Rainforests have evolved to recycle nutrients extremely efficiently, as the constant rainfall will wash them away quickly - thus an ecosystem with many more decomposers and insects than large animals, which there are few.
A spike in temperature and rainfall in grasslands supporting a culture of Steppe nomads will have radically different effects than a similar spike elsewhere.
(sorry for the double post)
Global Warming didn't come fast enough for the German Sixth Army seventy years ago.
China's economic growth is creating another empire because of Global warming.
you mean to say, to the detriment of Global warming...
[vinayaksatheDec 9th, 23:38
China's economic growth is creating another empire because of Global warming.]
If so, that growth would be self-reinforcing-- China is spurting out CO2 like there is no tomorrow.

Any useful data for the Xiong-nu and Huns?
This time go east.
So... climate changes by itself.. carbon dioxide has almost nothing to do with it.
We shouldnt tax carbon emissions and let mother nature have its way.
More accurate to say that we should spend the money that may be wasted on carbon taxes instead on adaptive behavior.
Yes because if we discover matches where a forest fire started we shouldn't suspect humans started it because most forest fires over the last 400 million years have been started by lighting strikes. Arsonist must love your "reasoning".
Climate change proponents argue that climate is stable.
This is not the case.. the ice age happened by itself without human involvement.
That would read with your reasoning that forests cant be burnt unless a human being starts a fire.
Furthermore climate change radicals call for human action to reverse the climate change.
This is like claiming that the climate cannot regulate itself or forest fires cannot go out unless human beings put it out.
There is no such a thing as rain.
Your logic is balony. Unless you can prove to me what the mean temperature of the Earth has been over the past billion years, don't you dare try to tell me man is warming the Earth or that it could be reversed, if it was happening.
With your logic if one of the many Ice Ages decended on the Earth as in the past, all we would have to do, is have the productive nations give more money to the less productive nations and the ice age goes away. Or vice vera with a warming Earth. Total insanity.
I don't think anyone argues that climate is stable, they argue that it is relatively stable. There is a difference.
Climate is not stable. It does change, over the course of several hundreds or thousands of years, and only accidentally it is suitable to support large human populations. Changing it artificially over the course of decades, rather than centuries, is a wholly different proposition.
Wrong, it doesn't change this fast - to claim that the explosive growth of greenhouse gas just happened to coincide with the Industrial Revolution is utter foolishness. Second, even it natural it will be very destructive and should be countered as much as possible.
Think about it for a minute, do you have any idea how much the world's coastlines will change? Goodbye Netherlands and Florida, as well as much of the US East Coast where elevation gain is very gradual.
In "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", the father plays a game where he can prove that any word in any language can always be traced by convoluted logic to an origin in Greek.
Sort of the same game greens play connecting any dot you can think of to Climate Change.
Well, at least Genghis Kahn's conquests can't be blamed on the misguided policies of the Bush administration.
But if you think about it…
Unless it was GW's great-great-greaty.
Interesting blog.
Still, wetter weather or not, what Genghis Khan and his hordes accomplished (besides the atrocities) is beyond belief.
The distances they traveled would be tough enough in cars, mush less on horses, and sleeping in tents across Siberia and the Central Asian steppes, and often in winter.
About the same time as Ghengis got restless, so did William the Conqueror. I guess we can prove the opposite of global warming from the Norman Invasion of England, where Will was anxious to get his hands on Yorkshire wool to keep his legs a bit warmer.
What nonsense.
NOT NON-SENSE!! Events are like the brain and are influenced by huge numbers of factors. The brain is NOT chaotic; events likewise have some pattern or the participants would just be clueless and have no ability to SURVIVE much less thrive. 1066 occurred at a climate OPTIMUM! Northern Europe had warm and wet weather for over two hundred years prior to the Conquest. Food production had been revolutionized by the three crop system of Wheat, followed by grass ( or oats), followed by legumes.
To this was added the power of the Ox drawn multi-blade ( steel in very advanced districts)plow. England was a boom town and there for the taking. William the Conqueror with his crack mounted heavy cavalry took it( and perhaps a half million lives in the process).
The resources for such a Super Conquest could not and WOULD NOT have been mobilized without the climate driven Agricultural Revolution providing the wealth in Normandy to potentially provide them and the huge ADDITIONAL WEALTH AND FERTILE LANDS in England to provide a huge motivation for recruiting expensive Knights in Shining Armour for such a risky enterprise.
Actually, think about English vineyards and wine when you think climatic optimums.
Warmer climes are also what allowed Norse civilization to flourish and violently expand throughout Europe. The Little Ice Age killed their colony in Greenland and nearly did the same for Iceland.
Lord Plushbottom - Some fine wines to match that lovely cuisine!
Yes. Nothing like a fine shiraz with pork pie and beans.....
Your timing is a few centuries off.
Some tree ring data showed wetter conditions and some showed warmer conditions?
Tree ring data shows how much a tree grows in a year and it can vary due to either longer growing season or more rain, or some combination of both.
If you look at one tree and conclude it was warmer in a year and then look at another and conclude that it was also wetter, you misunderstand science.
Hi Jim,
No sorry Jim, you are incorrect. In fact, you seem to not understand the basic tenets of nearly 100 years of tree ring science. One set of trees at altitudinal or latitudinal treeline can reflect temperature while another set at the lower forest border in the same region reflect precipitation.

Gonzaga forward Kelly Olynyk (13) talks with coach Mark Few during a game against Brigham Young earlier this season. / James Snook, USA TODAY Sports
Since 1991-92, every team that has been No. 1 in the final regular-season men's basketball coaches poll has been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. That might not be the case with Gonzaga, should it get to No. 1.
For the Bulldogs to vault to the top of the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, implosions from other top teams were necessary. The biggest domino fell on Tuesday when No. 1 Indiana was stunned by Minnesota, making it difficult to argue Gonzaga isn't the nation's best team based on merit.
The Zags' résumé helps distinguish between No. 1 in polls vs. No. 1 in the NCAA tournament.
"There's not a whole lot they can do the rest of the way," USA TODAY Sports bracket specialist Patrick Stevens said. "Gonzaga will probably wind up very solidly on the No. 2 line. There's not a whole lot you can quibble with them. They're 5-2 against the Top 50, 10-2 against the Top 100, 13-1 in road/neutral settings. At the same time, for most of the last two months of the season, there's only so much they could gain."
Saint Mary's, Brigham Young and Santa Clara are the only other West Coast Conference teams in the RPI's Top 100, so the Zags, who are ranked No. 2 in the latest USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, have had limited opportunities to boost their résumé in conference play. Even in a best-case scenario - beating BYU on Thursday and two of those three in the conference tournament - it will be difficult for Gonzaga to leapfrog teams in deeper conferences because its résumé is essentially complete now.
A Big Ten team such as Michigan has opportunities for Top 50 wins on a weekly basis. Big East squads such as Georgetown, Syracuse and Louisville do, too. Both of those conference tournaments offer more chances to boost résumés; Gonzaga has to do it by scheduling tough non-conference foes.
"The toughest part of (Gonzaga's) schedule is front-loaded," ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla said. "The most important games they played, from a national perspective, were played in November and December, before anyone was paying attention to them."
Perception has long been the key to Gonzaga's seeding, even though the selection committee says it values wins in November as much as it does wins in February. Still, over the past decade, the Zags have played just five ranked teams in the months of February and March (in the regular season), when the nation's attention is focused on college basketball.
This could finally be the season the Bulldogs break through to the Final Four, and it appears the Zags have the talent and balance.
"Mark Few has been reluctant to tell anybody that this is his best team," Fraschilla said. "But this has to be his deepest team, especially up front. Sam Dower and Przemek Karnowski would be key players on virtually every team in America â?¦ The fact that those guys come off the bench behind (Kelly) Olynyk and (Elias) Harris tells you what they have.
"What happens is we set the expectations for Gonzaga so high because of the sustained success every year, particularly in the regular season. We tend to discount them every year as a team that can get to the Final Four."

TMS Tarzana, Tarzana TMS – West Coast TMS Institute
FDA-Approved And Innovative Depression Treatment Tarzana
West Coast TMS Institute is a specialist when it comes to depression treatment. Tarzana patients have received relief from TMS, officially labeled Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has cleared TMS to treat patients with clinical depression. TMS treats the brain's mood-controlling prefrontal cortex in a non-invasive manner by stimulating the region to promote relief from depression. TMS does not introduce any medication, nor does it involve any surgical procedures; it may be effective for patients who do not benefit from medication or who experience unbearable medication side effects.
With TMS, Tarzana Patients Receive:
■ Effective Treatment
- West Coast TMS Institute has used TMS treatment with patients suffering from major depression and successful outcomes have been achieved. These outcomes experience significant improvement if the treatment is tailored to the patient.
- TMS is unique because it has no effect on daily activities. During treatment, patients are alert and maintain control, with some choosing to watch TV or chat with staff. Patients may drive home following their appointments and their walking or cognitive abilities will not be affected.
■ Drug-Free Treatment
- Since TMS does not require the use of drugs, it is a consideration for patients who want to avoid exposure to their babies during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If depression medication has unwanted side effects that are difficult to control, TMS may be recommended.
■ Mild Profile of Side Effects
- The most common side effects of TMS therapy are scalp discomfort, facial discomfort, and headaches. When compared to medication side effects, these are mild. TMS side effects are usually experienced when treatment begins and typically subside if non-prescription medicine is taken for pain.
West Coast TMS Institute Provides:
■ Affordable, Convenient Access— Our commitment is to high quality TMS care at reasonable prices – just ask our staff for details. Located in the central San Fernando Valley, where the 101 and 405 freeways intersect West Coast TMS Institute is simply a short trip from Tarzana. Patients enjoy free on-street parking and low-fee parking in the building.
■ Accommodating Scheduling— We offer convenient office hours, enabling us to fit into your busy schedule. We try to schedule your appointments around your life, whether it is according to your work hours or in the middle of the day.
■ Caring Team with Expert Skills— Our team focuses on providing the highest quality of treatment to exceed patient expectations. With a focus on recovery, we are always looking out for you.
■ Outstanding Leadership Backed by Clinical Excellence— Medical director of The West Coast TMS Institute, Dr. Kira Stein, MD, has been practicing medicine for more than a decade. A graduate of the UCLA psychiatric residency program at the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Dr. Stein went on to complete TMS programs at the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at the renowned Harvard Medical School and at Duke University School of Medicine. Among Tarzana area psychiatrists who have received board certification, Dr. Stein is unique, having undergone extensive training and engaging in practical experience with general adult male and female psychiatry and pharmacology, reproductive psychiatry, and the use of TMS. Further, Dr. Stein has been a co-investigator of TMS research conducted at UCLA.
■ Novel Technology— The NeuroStar TMS Therapy© System is novel because it is the first TMS therapy device in the U.S. market to receive FDA clearance.
■ Results-Centered Approach— Our focus on improving patient conditions leads us to focus on patient needs. Team-based staff provide the highest level of support and care.
Patients Who Visit West Coast TMS Institute Receive:
- Affordable TMS option
- Complete Psychiatric Evaluation Featuring In-Depth Analysis— Patients vary in terms of biological makeup and emotional needs, so TMS therapy may not always be the answer. To render an accurate diagnosis and recommend treatments that have the highest likelihood of being effective, we conduct a detailed psychiatric evaluation.
- Caring Staff with a High Level of Patient Devotion— Members of our staff have many achievements to their names but this does not prevent them from being compassionate and empathetic when dealing with patients. We realize that our professional reputation and success depend upon the experience and results of each patient. Each of our staff members is experienced with TMS and director Dr. Stein combines this non-invasive depression treatment with years of medical expertise.
- Time Sensitivity— Your time and ours are equally valuable so we schedule treatments to reduce waiting. This allows enough time for successful treatments and enables us to attend to patient needs.
For Other Services Including Treatment for Attention Deficit, Tarzana Patients Rely on our doctors who are also affiliated with The West Coast Life Center. West Coast TMS Institute offers several other services including treatment for attention deficit. Tarzana patients may benefit from these services:
- Anxiety therapy without drugs
- Mood swing disorder treatment that is non-invasive
- Drug-free stress treatment
