The product is ok; nothing wrong. But because you mention the official price on the shipping documents, I was charged with EURO 70 extra, being duties and import taxes. Of course, this is formally all correct but for the future it would be nice if you could mention a (pro forma) lower price on the shipping docs so for me here in The Netherlands duties and taxes will be much lower.Thank you!Peter de Winter

When the Global Entrepreneurship Congress convenes in Liverpool next week, one of the largest delegations will come from Canada. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to tour one of Canada's best startup cities—Waterloo—which offered some useful insights for the global entrepreneurship community.
Much like other innovation hubs, the genesis of this one is a university, the University of Waterloo, where an inventor-owned intellectual property policy has been a catalyst in the success of the city's entrepreneurship ecosystem. Contrary to the lack of freedom at U.S. universities where commercialization is centralized in technology transfer offices, Canadian universities do not have major guidelines in this regard. Dubbed by many as "the most liberal intellectual property policy of anywhere in the world," this policy has clearly helped Waterloo attract world-class researchers, and with innovators retaining ownership of their inventions, more entrepreneurs to commercialize them.
The evening I arrived, I was invited to address a large group of students and share some insights for nascent entrepreneurs. From the questions and discussion that followed, it was me who was doing the learning. This particular group was from the University´s startup dorm called Velocity. They were global, driven, confident and as networked and sophisticated as any Stanford or MIT group. I toured their dorm the following day—something they manage and run even to the point of hacking the TV to provide central data as to the availability of washers and dryers in the basement. In short it was a classic example of what can happen when there is not a penalty for unleashing your idea while on university grounds. It is a great testimony to the fact that universities can do much more than offer entrepreneurship courses to make them smarter incubators of entrepreneurial talent. It shows how universities can become central pillars in the emergence of new local startup communities—not institutions to be bypassed. If you are worried about university revenues, just drive around campus and ask who paid for what building. Entrepreneurs give back.
In the morning, I took a tour of the Communitech Hub, an awesome community of tech startups, students and researchers housed in a renovated 19th century tannery. Beyond actually seeing the technology at work, I was impressed with the exceptional array of rock star guest speakers brought in by their "dangerous event diva." I saw a few of the faces I had seen the night before already embedding themselves at the hub. If you ever go to Waterloo, Communitech is a required visit for anyone excited by startups.
Later that same day I drove up the street to see what happens to other entrepreneurs who stay in town and try to scale. In Waterloo, the link between the university and industry has been strengthened by the Accelerator Centre (AC), funded by Federal and Provincial Governments, Ontario Centres of Excellence, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, the City of Waterloo and the University of Waterloo. In its five years of operation, this accelerator has become a world-renowned center for innovation. As you walk out of the door, the industry park around you boasts dozens of growth firms all of whom emerged from this pipeline.
Waterloo is clearly a major source of economic growth for Canada, but also a useful test ground for the world as more policymakers examine how to help young talent accelerate the movement of innovations into the marketplace. In the U.S. for example, this is the subject of recent legislation. The Startup Act bill currently under consideration in Congress allows for grants to universities pursuing specific initiatives to improve commercialization capacity and to assist universities that want to pursue initiatives that allow faculty to approach technology transfer programs outside their institution of employment to commercialize research, among other initiatives.
In addition, Waterloo, as the home of Research In Motion (RIM)—the company behind the BlackBerry—will also be important to watch in the context of how startups can help breath dynamism into existing industries. A major intellectual and financial founder of Waterloo's vibrant entrepreneurial community, RIM might do well to lean on some of its own community of disruptive thinkers as it takes on tougher challenges to its signature product line from the likes of the iPhone. It is this collection of new and young firm founders who can stop such giants from receding over time and keep their innovation cultures dynamic. The next five years for RIM will be as much a test for Waterloo's vibrant entrepreneurial community as it is for its board of directors.
The Canadian delegation to the Global Entrepreneurship Congress—led by Canada's entrepreneurial diva, Vivian Prokop—will have as much to share as it does to learn in Liverpool. Beyond Waterloo, there is plenty happening in Canada these days. For example, later this month Canada will launch its own privately-funded Startup Canada campaign to map the ecosystem and resources for startups across the country. Further 18 of the 68 selected early-stage entrepreneurs for the Start-Up Chile program are Canadian. We all look forward to more insights from Canada next week.

58th Bomb Wing Memorial
The 58th Bomb Wing Memorial pays tribute to the thousands of men in the first unit to introduce the Boeing B-29 Superfortress into combat in World War II.
Wall maps, photographs and artifacts retell the history of the 58th Bomb Wing from its beginning days in Kansas, to the bases in India, "flying the hump," to forward bases in China, and the final days of the war on the island of Tinian. Banners, tribute panels and armament surround the restored Boeing B-29A "Superfortress" in the dedicated 18,000 sq. ft. hangar that was built through the generous financial support from the members of the 58th Bomb Wing Association and the State of Connecticut. The Memorial was officially dedicated on May 31, 2003.

History of the 58th Bomb Wing
The 58th Bomb Wing was called upon to take the mighty B-29 Superfortress from the drawing board into combat in order to effect the subjugation of Japan from the air during WWII.
The Wing's four Bomb Groups, the 40th, 444th, 462nd and 468th, were stationed in eastern India in 1944. On its earliest missions, the 58th Bomb Wing transported fuel and bombs from its bases in India over the treacherous Himalaya Mountains to staging bases in the Chengtu Valley in unoccupied China. "Flying the Hump" was so dangerous that it was counted as a combat mission. On June 5, 1944, the 58th flew its first combat mission, a raid against the railroad yards at Bangkok, Thailand. The mission originated from the rear bases in India. Ten days later 47 B-29s took off from the staging bases in China on their first nighttime attack on the Japanese homeland, striking the massive steelworks at Yawata. The B-29 had proven its long-range capabilities and the 58th Bomb Wing quickly developed a reputation as one of the elite bombing units of WWII.
In 1945, from Tinian, the Wing flew combat and reconnaissance missions throughout Southeast Asia and finally into the heart of the Japanese empire, striking at the core of the enemy's industrial cities, aircraft factories, steel mills, electronic facilities, ball bearing manufacturers, and merchant shipping centers. Through the efforts of the mighty 58th Bomb Wing the Japanese Empire was defeated by August 1945.

Last night we celebrated Passover with a Seder dinner at Jeff's folks house. Passover, Pesach, is the holy day and festival commemorating the Hebrew's escape from enslavement in Egypt. A traditional Seder dinner is long winded. It features many starchy and bland-ish snacks. There is singing and reading in Hebrew. For those that drink, there is much drinking of Manischewitz, which from what I can tell is like the box wine of the Jews. And there is more reading and singing and singing and reading. And there is reading.
One tradition, designed to help keep the kids awake during the meal, is the hiding of the Afikomen. During the fourth part of the Seder, the leader hides the afikomen (matzoh bread wrapped in a napkin) and the children will look for it after dinner in order to win a prize or some coins.
We sped read through the Haggadah, the text that lists the traditions. At the end of the meal, Bob took off in search of the afikomen. We led him through the house by yelling out "hot" or "cold" to direct him. At last (blazing hot!) he ended up in the hall closet. Bob emerged victorious with the afikomen in hand. He held it aloft and said, "Como estas, afikomen?"
I would like to attribute his remark to a well balanced mutli-cultural home life, rich in the customs of his diverse Mexican/Indian/Swedish/Irish/Jewish background. Instead, I will give credit where credit is due: Muchas gracias, Dora the Explorer.

I think this is my favorite Pesach story yet. I believe I shall teach our younguns to always greet the Afikomen in Spanish.ReplyDelete
Please thank Dora for me.
Bob has excellent timing:)ReplyDelete
Muchas gracias boychick.ReplyDelete
Be'Shaa Tova! What did he ask for in return?ReplyDelete
Also, for next Seder, let me recommend the entire series of Gamla wines, WAY WAY BETTER than Manischewitz.
Bob is clearly muy meshuggeneh.ReplyDelete
I think Dora may have been Jewish.ReplyDelete
ha! I feel slightly smug because although i am a shitska (yes i called myself a bad name, and probably spelled it wrong too) i have many Orthodox Jewish friends, so I know what these things are :)ReplyDelete
and Dora, too!
I wonder if his DNA is "cryptojew". I just found out about this clandestine jewish group that went into hiding in Mexico, like 150 years ago. So very interesting. You think???ReplyDelete
I think I'm it. They have their annual convention in San Antonio this year. I think I'll go..:)
- AnonymousMarch 31, 2010 at 7:28 AM
yea, maybe it was Ladino. By the way, I learned last night that afikomen is actually a greek word. Bob is extra linguistically brilliant.ReplyDelete
Haa! I love your kid!ReplyDelete
Oh yeah. We had our Seder meal last night as well. Tune into casablanca tomorrow for a post about it. (Spoiler alert: it involves REAL blood, fainting, and hidden afikomen.) Also, muchas gracias for having Bob.ReplyDelete
I just read five of your posts and they are all my favorite,ReplyDelete
but Como Estas Afikoman wins.

Fast Start Fades Late as Baseball's Sees Four-Game Win Streak Come to an End with 7-2 Loss at Lenoir-Rhyne
March 12, 2013
HICKORY, N.C. - A fast start for Pfeiffer University faded late as host Lenoir-Rhyne scored seven unanswered runs to claim a 7-2 victory in non-conference baseball action on Tuesday night. The Bears snap the Falcons four-game win streak improving to 9-16 overall while sending the Falcons to 9-15.
Pfeiffer got on the board in the second as Matt Wade and Johnny Brown, Jr. picked up back-to-back singles as Wade scooted to third on Brown, Jr's base hit. Taking the extra base would immediately pay off as Kyle Hackney lifted a sacrifice fly to right bringing in Wade. In the third, Jon Gray kept the inning alive with a two-out double, stole third and had it pay off with a wild pitch to make it 2-0 Falcons.
Lenoir-Rhyne would also use a two-out double to get themselves on the board in the fourth before a two-run homer in the sixth gave the Bears a 3-2 lead. The Bears would end up using two more RBI-doubles, run-scoring single and passed ball to complete their seven unanswered runs.
Wade would lead the Falcons at the plate with three of the nine hits while Gray collected a pair. Pfeiffer will get back inside Conference Carolinas play traveling to Coker for a three-game set beginning Friday afternoon.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Visiting Coker College ruined host Pfeiffer University's attempt to sweep their first Conference Carolinas series of the year scoring six runs in the top of the seventh of game two to salvage a softball split on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Falcons took the opener 3-1 before the Cobras escaped with a 10-9 win in the nightcap. Pfeiffer ends the day at 10-14 overall, 3-5 in league play, while Coker slides to 16-10, 9-5.
In the opener, Sarah Rountree started Coker off on the right foot with a solo homer to left-center putting the Cobras up 1-0. Pfeiffer would plate all three of their runs in the bottom of the fifth advancing to the 3-1 win. Hannah Jackson came up with a go-ahead two-out, two-run double to right-center while Ashlee Ellen doubled home Jackson with the insurance tally. Jessica Griffin would pick up the win tossing 6.2 innings allowing just the one run on five hits with three strikeouts while Shelby Brown recorded the final out in the seventh to pick up the save. Ellen would finish game one 3-for-3 with her RBI to lead the Lady Falcons.
The wild nightcap began with each team trading two runs in the first frame as Coker used a two-run homer from Sydney Weatherford while Pfeiffer picked up another Ellen RBI double and Cobras error to tie the game at two. Coker would take a 3-2 lead in the second before the Lady Falcons exploded for six in the third to grab the 8-3 advantage.
Ellen continued her tear at the plate with a two-run blast to left after Jackson singled. After Sam Taylor's RBI fielders choice made it 5-3, Khristin Isley belted a three-run shot to left scoring Emily Workman and Lexie Brock to cap the six-run frame.
After Coker cut the lead in half with another run in the fifth, things turned ugly in the top of the seventh as the Cobras struck for six runs of their own to snag a 10-8 lead. Jaclin Poole started with a run-scoring single before Dallas Sweat brought Coker to within one with a two-run double to left. As Rountree did to start her day, she would do again to end it smacking a three-run shot that just snuck over the wall in left to put the Cobras up two. Pfeiffer would mount a rally of their own in the seventh as Lindsey Russell slapped a solo shot to left making it 10-9, but with the bases loaded and one out, Coker was able to turn a game-ending double play to hang on by one.
Jackson and Russell each picked up three hits as Pfeiffer held a 14-13 hits advantage in the slugfest. Ellen would add two more hits and three more RBI to end her day 5-for-7 with four RBI and a pair of runs scored.
The Lady Falcons will look to bounce back on Tuesday afternoon hosting Lock Haven in non-conference action beginning at 3:00 p.m. at Jack Ingram Field.

As you can see in just a few of my posts about the HTC One below, I am a huge fan of this device and still consider it the best smartphone I have ever used. I've been using the HTC One Google Edition for the last few days and have compared it side-by-side to my T-Mobile HTC One with my belief that the HTC One with Sense 5 is still the much better smartphone for many reasons that I will explain below and show in the following screenshots.
Enthusiasts have been asking for more pure Google experiences on hardware better than what we see on Nexus devices and so far HTC and Samsung have responded. My MoTR podcast co-host, Kevin Tofel, may soon be one of those people buying a Google Edition HTC One. I personally am sticking with my T-Mobile Sense 5 model and cannot wait for the additional features and improvements coming in the Android 4.2.2 update that looks to fill in a few of the holes that the Google Edition revealed.
The following is a list of the areas I compared on both phones, along with my experience with each area. I show a few screenshots from most of these areas in the gallery, captured from each device.
- Phone utility: I know many people don't care about making phone calls with their smartphones, but one of the most obvious advantages the Sense 5 version of the One has over the Google Edition is in the dialer and phone utility. The Sense One supports smart dialing, shows related communications with the selected contact, and shows that contact's latest social network status. Smart dialing lets you start to spell someone's name while filtering your contact list. The Google Edition has a basic dialer and basic contact application.
- Exchange email client: As an Exchange user at my small company I have always loved that HTC has focused on this area and led with an excellent Exchange email client. Google has come far over the years, but HTC still leads with the ability to access all local folders while both Google and Samsung limit your access. You will experience a better user interface, the ability to set peak and off-peak syncing periods, and have access to more specific settings.
- Calendar: I give the nod to the Google Edition when it comes to the calendar and actually use the Google one on my HTC One. HTC's looks decent, but I don't seem to have as much control over the layout of my calendar.
- Camera software: While photo sphere is an interesting experiment and I do like the slide around usability of the Google camera app, Sense blows it away. You get the ability to capture 3-second Zoes, experience advanced editing functions , capture HDR video, apply image filters as you line up your shot, and more. The camera is one reason I use my HTC One so much and if imaging is important then you should get the Sense version of the One.
- Calculator: I know you can get 3rd party calculators, but the advanced one on the Sense One is so much more usable.
- Lock screen: You can setup a Google widget on the Google Edition, but there are more advanced lock screen options for the Sense One.
- Media Link HD support: I personally like to share my photos and videos with family and friends on my HD TV using the Media Link HD, but I haven't found any utility to get this working with the Google Edition.
- BlinkFeed: There is no BlinkFeed support on the Google Edition and this is a utility I actually use many times a day on my HTC One. I thought at first it would be a newbie function, but I enjoy catching up on news in this manner.
- Task switcher: The HTC Sense model only shows you your nine most recent apps while the Google Edition uses the standard Android task switcher interface with more recent apps available.
- Backup: I have never had much success with the limited backups supported by Google. HTC has a backup solution that you sync through an HTC account and this has worked very well for me. Only the Sense version supports HTC backup though.
The settings are quite a bit different on both devices with my preference for the Sense settings. Both have Beats Audio support with a toggle to disable it if you like. There seem to be many more default accounts supported on the Sense One, but as you install apps the list expands too. There are likely other differences I haven't found yet, but these are the ones I was able to discover and test this weekend.
The HTC One is probably the best smartphone hardware you will ever handle so if you just can't stand Sense then you can pick up the Google Edition for a very reasonable $599. I personally recommend the Sense model that offers you an experience optimized for this device that gives you so much more. With the upcoming 4.2.2 update the Sense model is going to get even better.

Keegan Daniel has been relieved of his captaincy duties, being replaced by Jean Deysel as the third leader of the year.
Sharks coach John Plumtree has put together a match 22 from what he has available, but at the same time, has made some bold calls in naming the starting fifteen.
Starting at the front, Wiehahn Herbst replaces the Beast Tendai Mtawarira, starting with Craig Burden and Jannie du Plessis. Kyle Cooper can count himself unlucky for being dropped after some stand out performances over the last few weeks. Franco van der Merwe gets the axe from the second row, allowing Anton Bresler and Pieter-Steph du Toit to start together.
The loose trio is completely changed with the coach dropping captain Keegan, dropping Marcell Coetzee and opting to start with Lions recruit Derick Minnie, the newly appointed captain Deysel and Lubabalo Mthembu. Daniel and Coetzee are both on the bench, which is a five / two split.
Charl McLeod starts the match ahead of Cobus Reinach, linking up with Pat Lambie in the halfbacks. The midfield sees Meyer Bosman continue outside Lambie and Frans Steyn selected to replace the injured Paul Jordaan outside him. The back three see one change with Piet Lindeque starting in the place of Andries Coetzee, joining Odwa Ndungane and Riaan Viljoen.
On the bench we see Danie Mienie as the front row cover, after he was called up late in the week, while S'bura Sithole joins him straight off the plane.
The Sharks: 15. Riaan Viljoen, 14. Odwa Ndungane, 13. Francois Steyn, 12. Meyer Bosman, 11. Piet Lindeque, 10. Patrick Lambie, 9. Charl McLeod, 8. Lubabalo Mtembu, 7. Jean Deysel (C), 6. Derick Minnie, 5. Pieter-Steph du Toit, 4. Anton Bresler, 3. Jannie du Plessis , 2. Craig Burden, 1. Wiehahn Herbst. Substitutes: 16. Kyle Cooper, 17. Danie Mienie, 18. Franco van der Merwe, 19. Keegan Daniel, 20. Marcell Coetzee, 21. Cobus Reinach, 22. S'bura Sithole

Wine Refrigerator Basics : Consumer Buyer's Guide
Wine refrigerators are useful for keeping the correct wine serving or storage temperature and humidity, particularly in warmer climates. There are two main types of wine coolers: freestanding wine refrigerators and built-in wine refrigerators. These wine coolers hold from 1 to hundreds of standard 750mL wine bottles. The ideal serving temperature for wine and champagne ranges between 40°F and 65°F (between 4°C and 18°C). Internal temperature is adjustable and some models have multiple independent temperature control zones for storing different types of wines, some refrigerators come equipped with slide-out shelves, auto defrost and safety locks. Most units come with a thermoelectric cooler that produces less vibration.
The most important difference between a beverage cooler, a refrigerator and a wine refrigerator is that wine refrigerators are set to a higher temperature range because wine should not be stored or served as cold as beer or other beverages. On average, wine coolers will not offer temperatures below 46ºF. Beverage coolers and refrigerators are similar, though beverage coolers frequently do not offer the adjustable shelving and door storage that a refrigerator will, and they often have glass doors in order to display the contents. A wine and beverage cooler has a wide temperature range so it may be used for either, but keep in mind if you want to store both at the same time you will either have too-cold wine or too-warm drinks depending on how you choose to set the internal thermostat.
Wine Refrigerator Models
Freestanding Wine Refrigerators:
Freestanding refrigerators are great for any floor space or area. All models feature either a single or dual temperature control zone. Other common attributes are a safety lock and auto defrost, although these are not available on all wine refrigerators. It's not recommended to use freestanding coolers in a built-in enclosure area since these units don't have a front vent to release the heat. The subsequent overheating will noticeably decrease the refrigerators ability to maintain its internal temperature and cool your wine, shortening the refrigerators overall lifespan as the compressor is continually overworked. The only way you can place the unit under your countertop, is if you allow sufficient space around the unit for the heat produced during operation to properly dissipate. We strongly suggest leaving a gap of 2 to 4 inches on each side of the cooler as well as on top and in the back to create the needed airflow around the unit. Place your refrigerator away from direct sunlight or any heat-producing sources, as this will force the refrigerator to work even harder, making it less likely to cool your wine properly.
The Most Common Freestanding Refrigerators are:
Freestanding on the floor:
These wine coolers can stand in any interior space around your home near an electrical outlet. They come in different sizes and in single or multiple temperature control zones.
Countertop Wine Refrigerators:
Countertop wine refrigerators are great for those who don't have the floor space or an area under their countertop for a wine refrigerator. Some can store multiple bottles.
Countertop Wine Chillers:
Wine chillers can chill a bottle in as fast as 5 minutes. They can sit on a table during dinner for easy access without being in the way, and moved back to the counter for storage afterward. Some models even come with a 12 Volt cigarette lighter plug if camping or tailgating.
Built-In Wine Refrigerators:
Built-in wine refrigerators are a good replacement for outdated trash compactors or any other older undercounter appliance in a kitchen or wet bar, making it perfect if you want to free up some floor space. Units include a front vent to dissipate compressor heat during operation; they also come in a variety of colors and sizes to fit anything from 15 to over 150 bottles. Its stainless steel or wood trim and doors add an elegant look to any space around the house. Always position your refrigerator away from direct sunlight or any heat-producing sources, like a dishwasher, as this will force units to work harder to keep cool. Placement near an appliance that may cause vibration such a trash compactor is also detrimental to sediments.
Wine Refrigerators, Best Usage Tips
Single Zone Refrigerators
A single zone wine refrigerator refers to a unit with only one thermostat control, the temperature control knob is often located on the back of the refrigerator. You may store both red and white wines together in a single zone unit if separate zones are unavailable. By placing your red wines in the top shelves of the unit you will be storing them in the warmest section of the cooler. There is usually only a 5 to 8 degree temperature difference between the top and bottom of a single zone wine refrigerator. Ultimately, your red wines will be too cold or your whites too warm depending on how you choose to set the master thermostat of the unit.
Dual or Triple Zone Refrigerators
A multiple zone wine refrigerator refers to units with 2 or more thermostat controls. Most coolers come with digital controls to adjust the different temperatures. The best way to accommodate both red and white wines within the same unit is to purchase a dual or triple zone wine cooler. Typically, white wines should be stored in the temperature range of 50ºF to 62ºF and red wines will be stored between 58ºF to 68ºF. A multiple zone cooler will allow you to maintain distinct and separate temperature zones within the same cooler. Many times these units will offer a larger storage capacity for one style of wine over the other so be sure to purchase the unit that best suits your individual drinking preference. For triple zone coolers, you can keep your ready-to-serve whites and reds at their appropriate temperatures and in the middle zone keep wines that are still aging at their correct temperature (50-60º F).
Wine Storage Temperatures vs. Wine Serving Temperatures
Many wine experts feel that red and white wines should be stored in the same temperature range (mid 50's Fahrenheit) for proper maturation. Some choose to store young wines a few degrees warmer and older wines a few degrees cooler. Wines that are not being aged can be stored at serving temperature and will last for up to 6 months. Properly stored wine should then be served in the temperature ranges discussed below
Wine Serving Temperature
Type of Wine
Temperature °F
Temperature °C
|Most Champagnes and Sparkling Wines
|Older or Expensive, Complex Champagnes
|52° - 54°
|11° - 12°
|Inexpensive Sweet Wine
|50° - 55°
|10° - 12.8°
|Rosés and Blush Wines
|50° - 55°
|10° - 12.8°
|Simpler, Inexpensive, Quaffing-Type White Wines
|50° - 55°
|10° - 12.8°
|Dry Sherry, such as Fino or Manzanilla
|50° - 56°
|10° - 13°
|Fine, Dry White Wines
|58° - 62°
|14° - 16.5°
|Finer Dessert Wines such as a good Sauternes
|58° - 62°
|14° - 16.5°
|Light, Fruity Red Wines
|58° - 62°
|14° - 16.5°
|Most Red Wines
|62° - 65°
|16° - 18°
|Sherry (other than dry Fino or Manzanilla)
|62° - 65°
|16° - 18°
|62° - 65°
|16° - 18°
Cleaning the Cooler
Caution: Make sure to minimize the exposure of water to any electronic or control parts.
Wine Refrigerator Features
Thermoelectric Cooling
Many smaller wine refrigerators employ thermoelectric cooling instead of utilizing a traditional compressor and refrigerant. A thermoelectric wine cooler will contain what is referred to as a cooling node which is simply a ceramic tile that has electrical current passed through it. As the electrical current is passed through the cooling node the outside of the tile will heat up and the other side (the side facing into the cooler) will cool down. Typically, a thermoelectric wine cooler will contain small fans inside the unit which help to evenly distribute the cool temperatures being created by the node throughout the interior of the unit. Due to the lack of a compressor, thermoelectric coolers will produce fewer vibrations which in turn will equal fewer disturbances of the sediments within the wine bottles. Please keep in mind that thermoelectric wine coolers are not completely silent as the internal fans needed to distribute the cold air within the cooler will produce some noise. Overall, they are usually quieter than compressor driven models.
LED lighting
LED creates light using nothing but the movement of electricity along the path of its semiconductor. LED's are now found on almost every electronic device. They work very similar to standard light bulbs, except for the fact that LEDs are much smaller, brighter and long-lasting. LED lights do not get hot, making them perfect for many electronic applications where heat is detrimental. they require far less electric power than traditional light bulbs due to their efficiency.
Tempered Glass Door
Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shards when it breaks. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.
Thermostat Control
Every wine cooler comes with an adjustable thermostat so you can adjust the temperature accordingly. Different wines require a different temperature, that's why thermostats are really important when preserving your red or white wines. Some wine coolers have a single thermostat and others come with 2 or 3 independent thermostats to preserve different types of wine within one unit.
Thermopane Glass Door
Thermopane glass doors consist of two glass panes that contain air or gas sealed between them, making the glass stronger than one pane glass doors. They're warm to the touch, and minimize the potential of frost and condensation on the inside pane. Thermopane glass doors were developed to be more energy efficient.
Tinted Glass
Tinted, especially UV resistant, glass protects aging wine from sunlight. Ultraviolet light is harmful to wine because it degrades organic compounds, which ruins the wine's flavor. Sparkling wine is more sensitive to light than other types of wine and should be stored in the darkest parts of a wine refrigerator. It is still recommended that all wine refrigerators, even those with tinted glass, be kept away from direct sunlight as the heat from the light can keep the wine refrigerator from reaching optimal temperatures.
Auto-defrost is a technique which regularly defrosts the evaporator in a refrigerator or freezer. The auto-defrost element is compact and separated from the main cabinet space, allowing it to be heated for short periods of time to dispose of any ice that has formed.

Joe Romm is a Liar
UPDATE: Joe Romm obviously understands that he went way over the line on this one, as he has retitled his post and added some confusing words of update. He maintains his assertion that I have some sort of "official" relationship with Heartland, writing, "How anyone could guess this isn't official is, well, Pielke-esque." Sorry, Joe, but that is still a lie.
Sorry to say it so bluntly, but it is true. Joe Romm has falsely claimed that I am an "official expert for Heartland." This is a lie. I have absolutely no relationship with Heartland -- never have, never will. Period.
Romm's efforts to smear by association are ironic given the lashing that Heartland just got for doing exactly the same thing. But irony has never registered high on Joe's awareness-meter. There is no lower form of "debate" than trying to sully someone's character by outright lying. And it is not the first time Joe has lied about me.
Joe Romm and the Center for American Progress should be ashamed of themselves for engaging in such tactics. Can't they engage a policy debate on its merits? Apparently not.
66 comments:
Well Heartland does list you as one of its experts, even if you had nothing to do with that.ReplyDelete
Still you might want to send Heartland an email asking them to take this down:
-1-Dan MoutalReplyDelete
I looked at the webpage and there is nothing there that says that I am in anyway associated with them. If they chose to highlight me as an expert, that is their business.
I am actually happy that folks on the other side of the debate find my arguments convincing. How many other people calling for aggressive action on climate policy have they highlighted? ;-)
Highlighting your work is one thing.ReplyDelete
But that page does make it seem like some soft of official association exists between you and them. That would trouble me if I was in your shoes.
-3-Dan MoutalReplyDelete
Thanks, I am presently in my shoes, and can say that the outright lie by Joe Romm is troubling me at the moment ;-) Thanks!
Seriously, Roger, any sort of association with Thoughtcrime must be repudiated. It is not enough to disavow any active association with Heartland. You must denounce them!ReplyDelete
Thou doth protest too much Roger. Your name along with other distinguished luminaries is listed under the heading 'Heartland Experts'. You're pissed because Romm is cackling gleefully as you sit uncomfortably close to a steaming pile...ReplyDelete
Ever consider the possibility that it might be wise to temper your desire for exposure at-all-costs with a little...I don't know....discrimination? Or would you be 'happy' if the Khmer Rouge listed you as one of their 'khmer rouge experts' on climate change adaptation?
I'm not in your shoes and I generally find Joe Romm's vile rhetoric pretty repugnant. However, I still baulk at the 'lie' accusation. Perhaps it's my English upbringing, but unless I know the contents of someone's mind or can prove something libellously false in a court of law, I'd shy away from the word.ReplyDelete
I do, however 'think' the accusation, so maybe you're just more comfortable speaking your mind..
Your point @2 above seems to me very pertinent. Why gratuitously smear someone who is sympathetic to your point of view?
No doubt Joe's post is troubling you. It would trouble me as well.ReplyDelete
The main reason, I would think, to ask Heartland to take down that page (or modify it to make it clear that there is no association) is to make it abundantly clear to Joe and others that you are not a Heartland 'official' expert.
Of course it would also make sense to send an email to Joe Romm asking him to correct his post. Though You might have had better luck had you not called him a liar.
Simple misunderstandings have a way of getting blown out of all reasonable proportion on the internet. Isn't it better to make such misunderstandings as difficult as possible?
-6-Marlowe JohnsonReplyDelete
You may want to take you own irony-meter into the shop for a check over, as it seems to be failing you.
Heartland:Khmer Rouge? That is billboard worthy;-)
I will repeat: I have had nothing to do with Heartland nor their webpage. Nada.
Thanks, I am comfortable with my language used here. Other words have not made it to the blog ;-)
Heartland lists you as a "Heartland Expert," complete with your bio and photo. It appears that this has been on their website a long time.ReplyDelete
So it is quite absurd even for you to claim "there is nothing there that says that I am in anyway associated with them."
Their website says you are a "Heartland Expert." How could anyone even imagine you have no official connection to them?
So it would seem quite reasonable question to ask whether you are an official expert, since that is what it looks like to any independent observer.
Apparently even asking obvious questions makes one a liar on Roger's blog.
-8-Dan MoutalReplyDelete
Thanks for the advice ... the time for asking questions would have been when Joe Romm got the idea in his head to engage in a bit of character assassination.
After broadcasting his lie to the world, the next step needs to be him issuing a correction and an apology. I won;t be holding my breath ;-)
-11-Joe (Romm?)ReplyDelete
I have no connection with Heartland, official or otherwise. Never have. Anyone making an inference from their 14 webpages listing ~280 experts would simply be making an incorrect inference.
In such a situation the honorable thing to do would be to email me (easy enough as it is listed to the left) and ask (an obnoxious commenter in fact did just this 2 days ago, and he was corrected and went on his merry way).
Blasting a malicious post to the world as a form of "asking" is, needless to say, pretty dishonorable, even for Romm. He should issue a correction, broadcast it and apologize. But again, I won't hold my breath.
I have updated the post. Your response here makes clear you are fine with Heartland referring to you as a "Heartland expert." That is amazing enough by itself.ReplyDelete
You should issue a correction and apology for your headline and other false accusations, but I won't hold my breath either.
Well, RogerReplyDelete
Romm is not only a liar but a contemptible thug. As he is obviously hovering over this site, having already posted on one of your comments, I hope he gets a little buzz out of the interplay that is the only reason he's still blogging, even if it's part time.
If you put up a Hall of Fame with good and honest people that the sonofabitch has defamed, you could make not only a fair sized football team but be in some pretty good company.
Oh, well. All my words probably don't equal the effect of that picture atop your post. Where did you find it and how was Romm so clueless as to let it escape to the wild?
-14-Joe (Romm, I now presume)ReplyDelete
Your update is unacceptable (as noted at my own update).
I am in the business of making arguments using tools of data, science, logic, pragmatism. When people whom I generally disagree with find my arguments to have merit, I call that success. What do you call that, Joe?
Instead of trying to smear me by association, which is all that you seem to have. Why don't you simply take an argument and critique it without reference to Heartland or anyone else. Can you stand on your own two feet Joe?
Is ad hom all you've got?
Nice touch, asking for an apology ;-)
Today I'm most enjoying ....... Heartland ~= Khmer Rouge. Fabulous.ReplyDelete
You keep calling obvious questions lies. Your characterization of my update is absurd, but I added a word to clarify what was obvious to everyone.ReplyDelete
No smear by association. You say you are cool with the association Heartland has made, listing you as a "Heartland expert." What else needs to be said?
-18-Joe RommReplyDelete
If you keep lying, I will keep call you a liar. It is simple.
Please do not pretend that your blog post was a form of "asking a question" -- I don't think even your commenters believe that. Have you a question, email me - that would have been the honorable thing to do. Care to explain why you did not do so?
This is really below the belt stuff Joe, even for you. Still time to do the right thing here. Think about it.
99% of climate experts would demand Heartland take down a page listing them as a "Heartland expert." I expect you eventually will. Still time for you to do the "right thing."ReplyDelete
But if not, my post as it stands is accurate, unlike, say, your current post. And being called a liar by you puts me in very good company!
But what about the screen grab from Heartland that Romm shows? It lists Pielke as a 'Heartland Expert'.ReplyDelete
Pielke says he isn't a HL expert, so why does he allow HL to make that claim?
HL is so much on the nose right now that I'm surprised that any credible scientist would lend their name to bolster Heartland's trashed reputation.
Joe Romm doesn't have to make any claims. He only has to show that screen grab. It says it all.
You're being disingenuous when you say in comments, "I looked at the webpage and there is nothing there that says that I am in anyway associated with them. If they chose to highlight me as an expert, that is their business."ReplyDelete
Can you see the BIG HEADING.... "Heartland Experts". I read this page as a collection of people affiliated with Heartland. I have tested a lot of advertising/communication messages, and most people would read this page the same way.
If you leave your name there, you are endorsing Heartland. It's not a wise choice to associate yourself with a right wing lobby organisation that is now widely known as Unabomber Heartland.
Your choice.
Don't argue with fools; they only drag you down to their level; then beat you with experience.
Romm has repeatedly called HI liars. But now he insists that you must be associated because they (the liars) say so.
Any kindergarten logic student can see through that.
There's a simple enough solution: Heatland should list Herr Romm as an Expert Ass. He certainly has the qualifications and track record. Doing so might force his supporters / colleagues to research Romm's activities to find one instance where he has been correct. That should keep them until the next ice age starts.ReplyDelete
Hmmm. That may not be long enough.
Romm's debate tactics are old [yawn] and worn out:ReplyDelete
(1) put forth a notional proposition,
(1a) the notional proposition being merely "the way things ought to be",
(2) put forth the notional proposition as fact,
(3) argue the non-fact fact through verbal virtuosity,
(4) ending the exercise by merely painting the world in one's own self image.
Every man, wherever he goes, is encompassed by a cloud of comforting convictions, which move with him like flies on a summer day. - Bertrand Russell, 1928
Regarding the Center for American Progress [CAP], one must consider that prior to classical economics most economics was fallacious. Fallacy abounded.
Economic fallacy never died, it merely took a back seat. One might say that economic literacy has increased and economic fallacy has decreased. However, the decreased fallacy level is now a more concentrated and raging phenomena.
The decreased fallacy level forming a more concentrated and raging fallacy phenomena breeds a raging political tone to transmit the remaining concentrated fallacy level. Economic fallacy, among other fallacy, finds a warm fire glowing and a hardy welcome at CAP.
Tom: EVERY picture of Romm looks like that. It always takes me aback too.ReplyDelete
So anyone who can read knows that there can be no collaborative relationship between Pielke and Heartland. The IQ spread for comprehending each is enormous. So why would Romm think this was an effective way to bring disgrace upon his nemesis? Not a tremendous mystery there. Romm's audience probably WILL believe it.
It's important to set the record straight here. Once that's done, back to more fruitful work. Those who would believe this lie have little to contribute to the discussion, and will, no doubt, continue their righteous march into irrelevancy.
Mr Pielke I admire you, you really seem to be a litmus test to provoke the most inane outrage from both the "sides" in the climate debate. However you have to admit with Romm and his fans one side of the scales we can never match them in the balance for craven dissembling! ;)ReplyDelete
I note he says this
"Then he falsely claims that I said he is "official expert for Heartland" when I merely asked the obvious question."
As of now the page url still include this pretty straightforward statement:
1) Did you know at any point before Joe Romm's post that you were listed as a Heartland Expert?
2) Now that you do know, what are you going to do about it?
If the answer to #1 is NO then where is the same outrage you are expressing to Joe and where is the letter to Bast demanding a removal?
If the answer to #1 is YES.....
What do you expect from a George Soros stooge? Rationality? His master feasts on the destruction of societies. Romm is Grima Wormtongue to Soros' Saruman. Hate and hyperbole are essential to his existence. He's a freaking cartoon character, don't acknowledge him other than to mock him. Besides, he's been a valuable contributor to the slow, steady decline in belief in CAGW.ReplyDelete
Can someone clarify exactly what the original title of Romm's post was? He seems to have changed it without making it clear what the change was, which, in the words of one of the climategate emails, is "not particularly honest".ReplyDelete
I notice that the URL is
which seems to contradict his claim that he was just asking a question.
-30-Paul MatthewsReplyDelete
The original title was
"Roger Pielke Jr. is an Official Expert for the Heartland Institute?"
The original post answered that in the affirmative, as does the "update".
Romm lies.
Are you now the self-appointed chief of the climate inquisition?
I responded to your multiple Tweets trying to bully me on this as follows:
@AGW_Prof @thinkprogress Learned of it on my blog ~48 hrs before Romm's post, yes I have contacted HI and no I do not answer to you #bullies
[Note apparently I learned of it Friday, not Monday as stated in the tweet, sorry]
Nobody expects the Climate Inquisition!!! Our chief weapon is bullying and lies...!ReplyDelete
Confess, Roger, CONFESS!!!
Prof. Mandia,ReplyDelete
"1) Did you know at any point before Joe Romm's post that you were listed as a Heartland Expert"
I made this discovery last week after going to The Heartland website. So Roger Jr. has known about this since May 4th (last Friday):
At the time he (falsely) accused me of:
"And even there, should you continue to make up lies about groups that you wish to accuse me of being associated with, those comments will be deleted as well."
I did not make up any lies as Roger Pielke Jr. suggests. In contrast, I find it hard to believe that Roger had no idea (from anyone) that his picture has been on the Heartland Inst.'s website until last Friday.
The "groups" Roger is referring to here is the Heartland Institute.
Roger has thus far refused to apologise for making that false allegation against me, despite me requesting that he do so on more than one occasion.
As of this morning Roger Pielke Jr's picture is still on the Heartland site.
So has Roger contacted the Heartland Institute to ask them to remove his picture and to correct the record?
I find it very puzzling that Roger is so very quick to accuse me and Romm of being liars and fabricating stuff, when in reality the only people telling lies and fabricating stuff in this instance is The Heartland Institute. How come Roger Pielke Jr. does not have a post up saying "Joseph Bast is a liar"? it is a fair question.
Does Joe Romm not see the irony in even having a debate/discourse in Roger's comments section?ReplyDelete
The owner of this blog (Roger) allows it to occur and doesn't edit or moderate out what he doesn't want to hear. Isn't that a beautiful thing to allow such an exchange? Meanwhile, the owner of the other blog (Romm), who does not allow dissenting viewpoints, has no problem coming here to be heard by the other side.
I find it sad to see how easy it is for those with no virtues to leverage the virtues of their adversaries in order to try to gain an advantage.
The original post was a question. It did not answer it in the affirmative. So that statement of yours was false.ReplyDelete
Unlike you, however, I updated the post. Your headline and post remain completely false.
More to the point, we now know that unlike what you claimed in your tweet, you learned of this on May 4 (!) and apparently had no problem with it whatsoever. So you are someone that Heartland listed as a "Heartland expert" who was fine with that listing. That speaks volumes
I'd note that Peiser (!) got himself delisted within 12 hours of my post.
And now we learn you "contacted HI." Does that mean you are now finally asking to have your name removed from their list of experts?
Roger Pielke Jr. says he has contacted the Heartland Institute. But contacted them about what exactly?ReplyDelete
It would be most helpful and clarify matters if Roger shared his correspondence on this matter with his readers.
-36-Joe RommReplyDelete
You are a serial liar. I will continue to broadcast this widely. Sue me if you think you've been libeled ;-) Your efforts at character assassination are transparent to everyone.
I do not mind if Heartland (or Mark Morano or CAP or any other interest group) points to me or my work as having expertise. I am in the business of sharing ideas with people who I may have many disagreements with, and interaction/exchange/discussion is a virtue in my world -- that is how (normal) politics works (as compared to the echo-chamber silence-all-debate variety that you preach).
I do mind the implication that I am in some way associated with HI, whether that implication is made by HI or you. I trust that HI will modify their web page accordingly to remove any ambiguities. Meantime, your post continues to spread lies about me, and the original unmodified version is all over the internet.
You cannot unring a bell, but you can and should put up a new post explaining your false inference and broadcast that just as widely. The multiple, confusing updates are cowardly.
Question: Why did you not ask me about your inference that I had an "official" relationship with heartland before broadcasting that to the world?
Please do answer. Thanks.
Albatross and Joe have excellent points. In addition, I would add that Roger should tell us when he stopped beating his wife. ;-)ReplyDelete
The irony of an abusive, anonymous commenter demanding my correspondence is rich.
But I don't mind sharing, as I have asked Joseph Bast (using the email on the HI site) to clearly and unambiguously note on their site that I have no official (or other) association with the HI. A simple request.
What did you expect, black helicopters? The Illuminati? ;-)
I have also made a request of Joe in #38 above.
Let's see who acts first, Heartland or Romm.
Now that I know you knew on May 4 (!) of the fact that Heartland listed you as a "Heartland expert" -- and was perfectly fine with it -- your question is irrelevant.ReplyDelete
Since you are a great parser of words, I would note that the relevant definition of "official" here is "authorized." Now it is clear, based on your assertions, that Heartland did not get your authorization before the fact. But since you have said since May 4 (until just now) that you were fine with how they listed you, well, you didn't take the opportunity to deauthorize it as, say, Peiser did. What more can one say?
It is rich that you accuse someone else of character assassination when you have falsely attacked multiple climate scientists and ready much every science blogger of being liars. Ken Caldeira, among others, has criticized you for your character assassination aimed at Dr Rajendra Pachauri.
You have rung so many bells you can't and won't unring, it's deafening.
-41-Joe RommReplyDelete
Lies on top of lies ...
On May 4th, within minutes of learning of that HI webpage I tweeted this:
So your accusation that I "authorized" it is false. So you are now fully empowered to further correct the record, will you?
Rather than changing the subject to Rajendra Pachauri (how dumb do you think readers are?;-), please answer this question:
Question: Why did you not ask me about your inference that I had an "official" relationship with Heartland before broadcasting that to the world?
Romm is paid big bucks by the Greens to marginalize, and assassinate the character of, scientists who refuse to drink the CAGW Koolaid. Just note his lie and move on.ReplyDelete
"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."
George Bernard Shaw.
Your actions in getting Heartland to take your name down makes clear that you now concede I was right and you were wrong. Your actions make clear it was a mistake for you to not instantly deauthorize Heartland's listing of you as a "Heartland expert when you learned about it on May 4.ReplyDelete
For the record, as anyone can see, I never said you "authorized" it. I said you didn't try to deauthorize it for many days.
Only AFTER my post did you try -- and (now I just see) succeed -- to deauthorize it (after asserting in the comments yesterday that you were perfectly fine with it).
So, as you would say, the fact that my post made you change your position on being listed as a "Heartland expert" would seem to be prima facie proof that I was right about it and you were wrong.
Also, Roger -- you clearly "lied" in your tweet to Mandia that you only knew about this 48 hours before my post. Or are your overt mistakes merely oversights, whereas everything anyone else does is a lie?
My work here is done. Tata!
You have no idea who or what I have communicated to whom. Please stop making stuff up.
I will repeat what I have said all along -- I do not mind if Heartland (or Mark Morano or CAP or any other interest group) points to me or my work as having expertise. I am in the business of sharing ideas with people who I may have many disagreements with, and interaction/exchange/discussion is a virtue in my world.
Your post has not changed my mind on anything (well, maybe one thing, that there is any decency in you at all:-|. Again, please stop making things up.
Joe is this your way of admitting a mistake? "Or are your overt mistakes merely oversights, whereas everything anyone else does is a lie?"
Now go do the right thing and fix the lies that you've spread. That would be the honorable thing. Why do I doubt that you will do anything at all?
I think Mr Pitt's comment @35 is absolutely on the mark. It never occurred to me (though obviously it should) that this conversation could never have occurred near Romm's pulpit.ReplyDelete
Why? Because conversations aren't allowed.
This is true, I stopped trying to post responses at Romm's a long time ago after he simply deleted them. More honorable behavior from him.
I think Will Richardson is on to something in his quote of Shaw.
However, even so I will now spend the next 6 months and longer having to correct people who say that I am affiliated with HI, because of Romm's lies. Sometimes the dirt from the pig gets on you no matter what.
Romm is a serial liar and that is a message I will spread in response, and if he wants to debate that accusation, I'm all for it ;-)
Albatross, since we're all being open, are you Joshua, AKA Josh Rosenau?ReplyDelete
Romm has re-revised his post again (fourth, fifth time?) and has produced new lies in place of the ones he has erased.ReplyDelete
He now writes: "Roger Pielke Jr. has, as I predicted below, finally gotten Heartland to de-list him as a "Heartland Expert.""
This is a lie. I have never asked Heartland to de-list me, only to clarify that I am not affiliated with them. Romm knows this because he has visited here and I explained this to him, yet he persists in lying.
Romm is a serial liar engaged in outright character assassination. CAP should be ashamed.
Are you now the self-appointed chief of the climate inquisition?ReplyDelete
Actually, he sort of is. He's half of their 'rapid response team'.
Climate change activists have an admirable division of labor. The people who can actually do publishable work do it. The community college professors and BS physicists act as their Grand Inquisitors, a sort of deniable goon squad.
Just sent this to Joe and a few higher-ups at CAP. I'm not sure they care (or perhaps they condone his behavior, who knows):ReplyDelete
Dear Joe-
Your web page continues to contain untruths about me. The latest iteration of your frequently-changing post now says:
"Roger Pielke Jr. has, as I predicted below, finally gotten Heartland to de-list him as a "Heartland Expert.""
This is untrue. I have never asked Heartland to de-list me. As I explained to you on my blog, I do not mind if Heartland (CAP or any other interest group) points to me or my work as having expertise. I am in the business of sharing ideas with people who I may have many disagreements with (including Heartland), and interaction/exchange/discussion is a virtue in my world.
I have asked Heartland to be sure than any mention of me or my work explicitly notes that I have no affiliation with them in any way -- to avoid simple confusion, but also the outright maliciousness that you have displayed. In response, Heartland informs me that they decided to take down that page while they reconsider how to present experts.
Once again, I request that you correct the factual record with the same megaphone that you have used to repeatedly spread lies.
While you and I have sparred before, this current behavior is remarkably unprofessional, and morally just wrong.
The issue seems to be mischaracterized. The nature of your affiliation only has minor relevance. The concern should be that any individual or cooperative clearly identifies the correlation between their position, your contributory works, and your own position.ReplyDelete
If anything, it is admirable that Heartland would provide a forum where individuals with differing minds are permitted to share their thoughts in relative safety. However, ultimately, they must take a position, and that position will either be in agreement, disagreement, or a hybrid of their contributors.
This seems to be about nothing more than competing interests butting heads and entirely unrelated to the explicit positions they represent. In short, yet another distraction. One of many that contribute to interesting lives beyond that found in a fertile playground provided by nature. Our lifestyle is decadent indeed.
It is also ironic how Romm, who is clearly funded by the far left-wing George Soros, wants so badly to "taint" Pielke Jr. with some affiliating him with some right-wing organization. Why is it that left-wing money is never considered "bad", but money from the right somehow is? Why must the skeptics be pure and free from any and all funding, yet the "scientists" and their flock seemingly have no problem in justifying their willingness to take money from any idealogue or organization willing to write them a check.ReplyDelete
Mercenaries are what they are.
Of course Climate Progress is well known for their high levels of traffic...ReplyDelete
...er, umm, ok.
Just got this back from Winnie Stachelberg at CAP in response to #51:ReplyDelete
"We've reviewed your emails and all relevant blog posts and stand by our reporting."
CAP sanctions lies, good to know.
Actually, CAP does not stand by their reporting, as Romm has (for the nth time) changed his post, it now reads:ReplyDelete
"Heartland Institute de-listed Roger Pielke Jr. as a "Heartland Expert" today after Pielke asked them to make clear he has no affiliation with them in any way."
instead of the previous
"Roger Pielke Jr. has, as I predicted below, finally gotten Heartland to de-list him as a "Heartland Expert.""
Could I clarify a simple point, maybe two ? It has been asked in previous questions but those people seem to have an axe or three to grind - I don't.ReplyDelete
- Did you know about the inclusion of your name, photo, profile on the HI website - presented in the form it is now, or was when this story broke ?
and 2, if you did know
- Did you approve of it ?
and 3, if you didn't approve
- did you ask them to remove it before now ?
Once those are answered this story will fly or die.
These have all been asked and answered on this thread.
1. Learned about it from a commenter last Friday
2. No
3. I have not asked HI to remove it, only to clearly state that if they want to list me as an expert, make sure that they also note that I have no affiliation. HI removed it on their own accord.
This story is long past dead.;-)
I had an analogous situation with Joe Romm when he tared me at Climate Progress as:ReplyDelete
"The President of IER is one Robert Bradley 'who previously served as Director of Public Policy Analysis at Enron, where he was a speechwriter for CEO Kenneth Lay,' who was 'convicted on fraud and conspiracy charges on May 25, 2006'."
Yes, I did write speeches for Lay (but not near the end), but I was just the opposite of what Joe implies.
I was, internally and externally, opposed to Enron's (fake) climate alarmism and (real) rent-seeking. See the internal memos here: http://www.politicalcapitalism.org/enron/
AND guess who was the leading cheerleader for Enron Energy Services, which turned out to be fraudulently inflating the value of its 'energy saving' contracts. It was Joe Romm himself!
The story of all this is here: http://www.masterresource.org/category/romm-versus-bradley-enron/
Finally, Joe repeatedly called me a 'sociopath' in a private email that was copied to James Hansen. Joe has never apologized although I have asked him to.
What else can I say or do?
You continue directing your vitriol and outrage at the wrong Joe, it should be directed at Joseph Bast from Heartland for listing you as an "expert" for Heartland without asking. I find the asymmetry of your ire very troubling.
"I have not asked HI to remove it, only to clearly state that if they want to list me as an expert, make sure that they also note that I have no affiliation."
I do not think you understand the purpose of their list. The "experts" that they have listed are clearly not a comprehensive list of experts in the field of climate science, for example. Their list does not include eminent scientists such as Hansen, Trenberth, Schmidt, Held, Emanuel, Santer, Dessler, Thorne, Mears, Stott, Betts, Bradley, Manabe, Weaver, Solomon et cetera.
The Heartland list of experts is thus meant to give the impression (at least to the uninformed reader) that they have the support and/or can solicit advice from the "experts" listed. The purpose of that "expert" directory is thus clearly not to list the most respected, leading and eminent scientists in the field, at least for climate science, otherwise the aforementioned names would not have been excluded.
So you now asking them to say that you have no affiliation with them defeats the point of listing you entirely and that is why they probably removed your profile from the list.
They probably listed you because you come across as being a contrarian and give the distinct impression of having sympathy for "skeptics" and provide sound bites that "skeptics" like to propagate around the "skeptic" echo chamber. You just gave them another one with the title of this post.....oh well, it is your reputation that is going down the tubes.
Now before moving this to the "rejected" file without due consideration, please consider the merit of each individual post. Thanks.
I fully understand and support your ire on this one Roger. Whilst Romm is correct in noting that Heartland list(or did list) you as an expert it's a bit of a stretch to say that makes you an 'Official' Heartland Expert. The word Official is what this all hinges on. Climate denier James Delingpole makes an even worse mistake in his latest blogpost. Having gone snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef his headline reads 'Official: Great Barrier Reef doing just fine'ReplyDelete
So it appears that Roger Pielke Jr. is unhappy about the inference that he is a Heartland Expert on Climate change, but not at all unhappy about being listed that way at Heartland.ReplyDelete
He also doesn't seem to get the fact that there are no lies in Romm's post, unless they were lies that he himself has tacitly approved by allowing them to appear on the HI site.
OK - by the way 5/10 looks to me like you are giving Mr Romm a score ;-) - we do dates the correct way round here in the UK.ReplyDelete
So it appears that Roger Pielke Jr. is unhappy about the inference that he is a Heartland Expert on Climate change, but not at all unhappy about being listed that way at Heartland.ReplyDelete
If you go to WattsUpWithThat you will see a link to Real Climate on every page. Does that mean that Joe Romm has endorsed WUWT?
Roger IS an expert on aspects of Climate Change. Why should anyone object to others recognising this?
Back in the 1960's, Reed College, a bastion of left-wing thinking in Portland, Oregon, invited Herman Kahn to speak at commencement. Kahn was widely known and in leftish circles reviled, for his book, "On Thermonuclear War." Had there been Web sites at the time, Reed's would have shown his photo and bio and mentioned that he was speaking.ReplyDelete
Reed was criticized internally for the decision. Others at the time could have criticized Kahn for letting himself be listed as a speaker at Reed. In the end, neither let the furor bother them. It's called open debate.
Romm continues to imply that Roger should be unhappy if Heartland identifies him as someone with something to say. That's a reflection on Romm, not Pielke.
A reader writes in to note that Heartland adds a new disclaimer:ReplyDelete
"The persons identified here are Heartland staff, managing editors, senior fellows, and policy advisors (who are unpaid volunteers), as well as other experts not affiliated with Heartland but who we recommend as reliable sources of research and commentary."
Let me state clearly that under such a disclaimer I have no objections to being listed as an expert by Heartland (or CAP) or any other advocacy group interested in exposure to solid policy research and analysis.
It is my view that people across the political spectrum could benefit from a bit of engagement with solid research -- especially insular groups like Heartland and CAP.

Softball Bounces Back Again in Game Two to Earn League Split with Erskine
March 15, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University softball team once again bounced back from a game one defeat (2-1) to pick up a game two win (3-2 in eight innings) splitting with visiting Erskine College in Conference Carolinas softball action on Friday afternoon. The Lady Falcons move to 9-13 overall, 2-4 in league play while the Fleet slide to 6-11-1, 4-2.
Erskine would use an Ashlyn Hicks RBI-single in the first inning and a Larissa Shannon RBI-triple in the fifth to account for their pair of runs. Erskine would out-hit the Lady Falcons 11-1 as a Sadie Saine double in the fifth accounted for Pfeiffer's only hit during the opener.
Tied at 2-2 going to the eighth of game two, Celia Dew would scamper to third on a one-out wild pitch and score the game-winner on an Ashlee Ellen sacrifice fly to center. In the top of the inning, reliever Jessica Griffin would get a groundout to third and strikeout swinging to end the inning.
Earlier, both teams would trade runs in the fifth as a Julianna Bullington bases loaded walk provided Pfeiffer's tying-run after Hicks did the same for Erskine in their fifth. In the seventh, Bailey Thornton's RBI single would give the Fleet a 2-1 lead until Khristin Isley brought home Saine with the tying run on a single in the bottom of the seventh.
Pfeiffer will be back to action on Sunday afternoon hosting Coker at 1:00 p.m.

Lindsay Lohan will be spending the upcoming Christmas holiday in Southern California, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively, though it's still unclear who she'll be surrounded by.
Her mother Dina "wants Lindsay to go home to Long Island for Christmas, [but] that won't be happening," a source with knowledge of the situation told us. "Judge Elden Fox was very clear with his order that he wanted her to stay in rehab until after New Year's."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Wears A Message About Individuality
Our source said the 24-year-old Mean Girls star has excelled in her sober living facility, even earning passes to leave the sober house for shopping excursions and visits to her Los Angeles home.
Still, "Lindsay won't be allowed to leave the state of California for Christmas, period," according to our source. "It was never a consideration for Thanksgiving and it won't be for Christmas. Dina wants her home, but Michael is supporting whatever Lindsay's treatment team is recommending."
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Family Album
The holidays can be a cause for concern, according to our source, with "all of the angst, forced familial time and dealing with recovery. Mix in parents that don't get along and Lindsay is going to be tested — and that isn't a bad thing."
Lindsay and her treatment team are confident that the actress will be able to get through the holiday season without any setbacks, the source said. While they want Dina and her siblings to come to California for Christmas, lingering tension between family members may throw a roadblock toward such a reunion.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Sports Mini Dress During Outing
"Dina hasn't agreed to be anywhere under the same roof with Michael," the source said. "Lindsay's counselors recognize that family is very important to Lindsay and they are really hoping to get the entire family under one roof for some much needed family therapy. Michael has agreed to do it. So far, nothing from Dina indicating she is even considering it."
Lindsay could earn a pass to spend Christmas Eve or Christmas Day out of the sober living facility if she gets the OK from her treatment team, according to our source.

The actress has impressed her doctors and others by focusing her efforts toward helping the less fortunate, our source said, as she "recognizes how blessed she is to be given this amazing opportunity to get and stay sober."

Athens, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Georgia football announced on Wednesday that the program will take on Notre Dame for a two-game series, beginning in 2017.
"This series will generate an overwhelming level of excitement for our student-athletes and supporters," said UGA director of athletics Greg McGarity. "We have a tremendous amount of respect for Notre Dame and look forward to the start of this memorable experience."
The Bulldogs and Fighting Irish will kick off the set on Sept. 9, 2017 in South Bend, then complete the home-and-home with a contest in Athens on Sept. 21, 2019.
Georgia and Notre Dame have only met once previously -- a 17-10 Bulldogs victory in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1981, which propelled the SEC stalwarts to an undefeated season and national title.
"As our football schedules evolved with the start of our Atlantic Coast Conference competition in 2014, we had future games slated with top-drawer opponents in virtually all the major conferences," said Notre Dame vice president and athletics director Jack Swarbrick. "One exception was the Southeastern Conference, so we are pleased now to be able to check that box."
