Not sure if serious or just overwhelmingly stupid.
My dog raises better points of discussion than you.
Such as "RUFF RUFF grrrr, snarl bark?" What a riveting conversation that was.
I posted what I thought was a good point and you try to make it into a terrible joke with very little humor or value.
a fetus isnt a baby, its not a individual living being, in the first and second trimester its arguable that its a sack of cells that on their own wouldn't do anything
Didn't some people on earth think that other races aren't human as well. A fetus is a baby, it's the same thing. It's just a name that you give to something so killing it doesn't sound so bad.
If you don't humanize killing it's just fine. This X race wasn't human, they are animals, thus it's okay to kill them.
That is how humans can justify killing, if you call them by a different name and you spread that, people won't feel so bad about doing it.

Asbestos Testing and Survey Riverview
Many buildings and residences contain asbestos in some form. Asbestos has and is being used in over 1,000 different products such as floor tiles, drywall compound, popcorn ceilings and building insulation. Exposure to asbestos is hazardous to your health and can cause serious illnesses including asbestosis, mesothelioma and lung cancer. If existing building materials are disrupted during remodeling or demolition, asbestos may be released into the air creating an unsafe indoor air environment.
Asbestos testing/Asbestos survey's should be completed before undertaking any type of demolition, remodeling or renovation to an existing structure to ensure proper regulatory procedures are completed. AirMD's asbestos testing and asbestos survey's will identify asbestos containing materials to allow for proper removal.
AirMD's staff of scientists and consultants have many years' experience conducting asbestos tests and asbestos survey's in residential, commercial, healthcare and school facilities. All AirMD asbestos consultants are certified and licensed and our scientists use diagnostic scientific equipment. All results are certified by independent accredited laboratories.
AirMD's testing methods and services offer a variety of services which include asbestos inspections, scope of work development, asbestos management plans, project management, air monitoring and post abatement air sampling.

Tabletop computer screens that take menu orders, accept payments by credit card and let diners play videogames are about to get much more common, changing how waiters and restaurant guests interact.
Chili's Grill & Bar, one of the largest casual-dining chains in the U.S., plans to announce Tuesday that it will install tabletop screens in most of its 1,266 U.S. restaurants by early next year. The chain owned by Brinker International Inc. (EAT) has been testing the devices since early this year. The screens, made by Dallas-based Ziosk LLC, are essentially tablet computers mounted to a sturdy base and loaded with pictures of menu items, as well as a credit-card swipe device and games that can be played for 99 cents at Chili's.
Restaurant-goers who dine at tables with the devices often spend more per check, because they tend to buy more desserts and coffee when the screen is present, said Krista Gibson, senior vice president of brand strategy for Chili's. Pictures of desserts pop up on the screen midway through the main course, when people start to think about what they will eat next, Ms. Gibson said. Dessert sales increased almost 20% in tests, she said, and coffee sales also rose when featured in a similar way. Chili's is also considering promoting alcoholic beverages during meals, Ms. Gibson said.
For now, Chili's customers can't order an entire meal or a first round of drinks on the device. The machines didn't prompt any job reductions among waiters, Ms. Gibson said. "We never pursued this as a way to cut labor," she said, adding that a server needs to be "the first person who comes in contact with our guests."
About 50% of diners choose to pay via the machine when it is part of a table, likely because they dislike waiting for a check when they are ready to leave, Ms. Gibson said.
Chili's also is able to gather additional data about its customers when the screens are present, Ms. Gibson said. More people are willing to provide their email addresses and answer survey-style questions at the end of a meal, she said.
Ziosk is one of several companies pitching tabletop devices for restaurants. The devices enable diners to order and pay for their meals, and sometimes flash ads or offer entertainment to diners for a fee. Midtier and higher-end restaurants have been careful to maintain personal interaction between diners and waiters. Some higher-end restaurants, for instance, use tablet computers to give detailed descriptions of wines, but not to take orders or allow diners to pay. But at least one device maker said restaurants with tabletop screens could hire slightly fewer servers or reduce the hours of wait-staff employees.

Is the CIA on Its Way to Hacking the Sky?
The news seemed tailor-made to drive conspiracy theorists and members of the tinfoil hat club into a frenzy.
In July, the National Academy of Sciences confirmed that the CIA is helping to underwrite a yearlong study examining atmospheric geoengineering—deliberate, planetary-scale manipulation of the climate to counteract global warming. As reporters took jabs at the idea of "spooks" seeking to "control the weather," the National Academy of Sciences tried to brush away concerns. "We are not producing anything, building anything, or deploying anything. It's more of a state-of-the-science review," an academy spokesperson told me, noting that NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are also helping to pay for the study. Still, the CIA's interest in geoengineering marks a turning point in the simmering debate about the controversial technology: More and more people are starting to take the once-laughable idea seriously.
Both supporters and skeptics of geoengineering schemes—which range from spewing sulfur dioxide particles into the stratosphere to dumping iron filings in the oceans—say planetary manipulation of the atmosphere is a Pandora's box that could unleash all kinds of environmental and geopolitical problems. While the CIA worries about other countries trying to weaponize the weather, environmentalists are anxious about the unforeseen ecological knock-on effects. Philosophers, meanwhile, caution that human ownership of the sky would place us in a new kind of existential bind.
Geoengineering has stood on the fringes of global-warming policy discussions for years. White House science adviser John Holdren is reported to have talked about it with President Barack Obama soon after he took office. In 2010, the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology held hearings on geoengineering; committee members stopped short of advocating for deployment and said research into the it should be "open and transparent," and spearheaded by the Department of Energy. Now the idea is taking on greater urgency. With the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide above 400 parts per million (the highest level in millions of years, according to NASA scientists) and global politics locked in a stalemate over emissions reductions, some climate scientists say we need to consider Plan B. Having unintentionally warmed up the planet, we may have no choice but to intentionally cool it back down.
Some of geoengineering's most prominent backers have mixed emotions about the enterprise, which only underscores how desperate our climate predicament has become. When it comes to hacking the sky, we're damned if we do, doomed if we don't.
"If I had to sum it up in a single word, I would say I'm ambivalent," says Ken Caldeira, an atmospheric scientist with the Carnegie Institution, a leading research organization. Caldeira's lab at Stanford University has conducted some of the most cutting-edge research into geoengineering, at first in the hopes of disproving the idea. After running experiments through his sophisticated climate models, Caldeira was dismayed to find that some techniques to manipulate the atmosphere got results. "Each attempt to poke holes showed that while [geoengineering] wasn't perfect, it seemed to work," he says. "Obviously, I would be much happier if we were not building any more smokestacks or tailpipes. But that's not what we're doing."
Geoengineering schemes range from the whimsy of science fiction to the unnervingly plausible, with none free from concerns about unintended adverse consequences. University of Arizona astronomy professor J. Roger Angel's idea of launching a cloud of mirrors into space to reflect some of the sun's light away from Earth is probably a nonstarter. But several other geoengineering proposals are well within our technological capabilities. John Latham of the National Center for Atmospheric Research has suggested sending out a fleet of computer-directed boats to roam the oceans spraying seawater into the clouds to make them whiter; increasing the reflective power of the clouds by 3 percent, he predicts, could offset higher global temperatures. Another proposal involves dumping iron fillings into the oceans to spur blooms of carbon-dioxide-gobbling plankton that, after dying, would sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. Several small-scale ocean fertilization experiments, however, have had mixed results.
The most widely discussed geoengineering technique goes by the somewhat Orwellian name of "solar radiation management." Scientists would inject a sulfur-dioxide aerosol into the stratosphere, and the extra particles would reflect more sunlight away from Earth in a planetary version of pulling down the shades, something nature has already tested: The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, a long-smoldering volcano in the Philippines, hurled an estimated 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the upper reaches of the atmosphere, where the ash turned into droplets of sulfuric acid that scattered the sun's light. The following year, global temperatures dropped by half a degree Celsius, and the summer melt of the Greenland ice sheet slowed.
Computer models have shown that humans could replicate the experience. "A continuous injection of a few tens of kilograms per second would be enough to offset a doubling of carbon dioxide," Caldeira told me when I started looking into geoengineering a few years ago. Powerful artillery could launch a sulfur-dioxide aerosol into the atmosphere. Another dispersal method would employ giant, high-altitude blimps equipped with hoses to carry sulfur from the planet's surface to the sky. A fleet of airplanes continuously circling the globe could also do the trick. Sulfur dioxide is plentiful and cheap (ironically, it's a byproduct of the coal combustion that's warming the planet), and as little as $1 billion a year could decrease sunlight by 1 percent.
Geoengineering skeptics cite a number of potential problems, ranging from the unpredictability of atmospheric manipulation to the chance that some rogue nation (or rogue billionaire) might start climate engineering without a global consensus.
For starters, no one is sure how ecosystems would react. What if blocking sunlight disrupted the South Asian monsoon cycle on which hundreds of millions of farmers depend? In a May New York Times op-ed, Australian academic and vocal geoengineering critic Clive Hamilton called out the threat of the unknown unknowns. "If there is one lesson we have learned from ecology, it is that the more closely we look at an ecosystem the more complex it becomes," wrote Hamilton, who is also the author of Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering. "Now we are contemplating technologies that would attempt to manipulate the grandest and most complex ecosystem of them all—the planet itself."
Geoengineering boosters say the solution may be to gradually deploy climate-control technology. "You could do 1 percent this year and 2 percent next year and then extend a plateau of non-warming," Caldeira says. "If things went awry, you could taper it back out and do it as gently as you can." But a steady ramp-up would be a nonstarter politically. One of the virtues of the sulfur-dioxide aerosol scheme is that it's speedy, unlike emissions reductions, which will take decades to have a noticeable effect. "The most politically plausible scenario is that nothing is done until there's a real crisis and an untested system is deployed," Caldeira says.
Yet the very prospect of some last-minute, civilization-saving contraption could make us more cavalier about wrecking the climate. "It might be tempting to do [geoengineering] rather than the harder work of [greenhouse gas] mitigation," says Alan Robock, a Rutgers environmental sciences professor who received a National Science Foundation grant to plumb the political and ethical implications of geoengineering. "If you tried to do it without mitigation, it would be a disaster."
Even geoengineering backers acknowledge this problem. "It's fast, cheap—and imperfect. Those are the defining characteristics," says Harvard applied physics and public policy professor David Keith, author of the forthcoming book A Case for GeoEngineering. "People with ski helmets go faster. People drive closer to bicyclists who have helmets on than bicyclists who aren't wearing helmets. It's called risk compensation. It's ubiquitous, and it's rational."
But according to Robock, at least one study has shown that, when told about the prospect of geoengineering, people become more concerned about global warming. If leading scientists are thinking about tinkering with the atmosphere, things must be bad, some people conclude. There could be an interesting political dimension at work as well. A study published last year by Yale law and psychology professor Dan Kahan found that self-described conservatives were more likely to accept evidence of man-made climate change if they were told about the possibility of geoengineering. Notably, prominent conservative think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute and the Hudson Institute have expressed interest in geoengineering.
There are also serious geopolitical complications involved with geoengineering, probably one of the main factors fueling the CIA's interest in the technology. The problem has to do with global governance. Who would decide when it's time to hit the launch button, and who would control the global thermostat? What if Brazil wants it cooler, but Russia wants it warmer?
"If we are talking about sulfate aerosol spraying, once we start, we will not be able to stop," Clive Hamilton wrote to me in an e-mail. "So who will control the world's weather for the next thousand years? The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party? The Pentagon? A U.N. expert group? The Security Council? In the end, there will be a power struggle over who will regulate the climate. If I were a poor farmer in Bangladesh, I would not be confident that my interests would be taken seriously."
In the absence of global consensus, some country (or a small group of countries) might decide to do geoengineering on its own. That could lead to conflict, even war. The potential of for unilateral geoengineering seems to be driving the CIA's interest in the technology. Both David Keith and Alan Robock say they have been interviewed by a CIA contractor investigating the potential of another country weaponizing geoengineering. (The CIA did not respond to phone calls asking for comment.)
Equally worrisome is the prospect of some well-intentioned but overreaching billionaire deciding to rescue the world solo—a James Bond-like situation that some have cheekily dubbed a "Greenfinger" scenario. "What if Richard Branson wanted to save the planet?" Robock says. "He's got a lot of airplanes."
This isn't an academic concern. In July 2012, California businessman Russ George, founder of the for-profit geoengineering outfit Planktos, dumped 100 tons of iron sulfate into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia. The experiment seemed to work: Satellite images showed a plankton bloom as large as 10,000 square kilometers. But the United Nations' International Maritime Organization expressed "grave concern" about the test, which violated a 2010 the UN Framework Convention on Biological Diversity agreement that put in place a (largely symbolic) moratorium on geoengineering research. (Interestingly, Bill Gates is one of the largest funders of Ken Caldeira's geoengineering research. Caldeira says the support comes from Gates' private pockets, not his philanthropic organizations.)
Once we start messing with the sky, there will be no going back. If we were to suddenly lose the technological or financial ability or political will to keep altering the sunlight, global temperatures would spike rapidly, putting us in even greater danger. We will always be fearful of letting our grip slip from the lever that keeps the planet in a semblance of balance. It would be existential anxiety unlike any we've felt since the nuclear-weapons hair trigger of the Cold War.
Other psychological ramifications shouldn't be underestimated. More than 20 years ago in his prescient, The End of Nature, Bill McKibben warned of "the imposition of our artificial world in the place of a broken one." A sulfur-dioxide aerosol could, for instance, bleach the daytime sky, fading its blueness, and at the same time turn sunsets into Martian-like displays of super-saturated reds and oranges. Who knows how this would affect us. Perhaps we'd feel nothing. But maybe it would be maddening—an outcome suggested by the expressionist painting "The Scream," inspired by the otherworldly sunsets that followed the 1883 eruption of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa.
For at least the last 25 years, we've been dumping carbon and methane into the air knowing full well the risks of doing so. When it comes to planetary-scale manipulation, we crossed the line a long time ago. Still, something like solar radiation management would mark an unprecedented leap in humanity's ownership of Earth. Geoengineering would turn us into a kind of bubble species, all of us living inside a massive armature. If that comes to pass, the world might no longer give us the comfort of home. Instead, the Earth might come to seem like a foreign country, a vague and threatening enemy. A prospect, it appears, that makes even the CIA nervous.

I enjoyed the article.
However, one request: could you at east once in a future article on geoengineering (the term used 30 times) refer at least once to the part of geoengineering called carbon dioxide removal (CDR)? The term solar radiation management (SRM) appeared twice (I would have preferred 30 times and geoengineering twice).
My interest in CDR is through biochar - a technology moving much faster than any form of SRM. Look up last week's announcement on several hundred million of dollars going into two small biofuel refineries in Louisiana, where biochar is an important co-product. Company is Cool Planet. Well funded and has an aggressive expansion plan. So, I hope you can get the CIA to look into biochar and other CDR as well. (I know the NAS/CIA study has two CDR approaches in mind as well - but not biochar.)

Any technological attempt to remove carbon from the atmosphere will be like attempting to empty the oceans with a teacup. It took 150+ years of the combined effect of all industries worldwide to cause the problem, how can we ever hope to come close to matching that in an effort to turn Global Warming around? As far as large scale seeding of the atmosphere or ocean with chemicals, first of all, it would take a LOT of chemicals, and what would those chemicals do to the environments they're released into? Poison the land? Kill the oceans? I think that any such grand-scale approaches could finish us off. No, engineering methods to remove the excess carbon from the atmoshere would be astronomically expensive, dangous and ineffective. Our best bet is to plant and restore forests and STOP BURNING HYDROCARBONS, i.e. fossil fuel. We might as well forget about reversing GW. We should focus our attention on stopping it and in learning to adapt to the consequences of industrial folly.

The reason a "cloud of mirrors" in orbit is a non-starter is that it would kill all future space flight (manned or unmanned) by making the odds of collisions much higher, since it would add even more too-small-to-track objects in orbit. And even TRACKED objects raise the fuel costs of keeping a spacecraft in orbit, since each avoidance maneuver uses precious fuel from its limited lifetime supply sent up from Earth. The ISS can get extra fuel deliveries from rockets with its crew changes, but space telescopes, GPS satellites, and geosynchronous satellites are pretty much stuck with one lifetime load of fuel for station keeping and maneuvering, being too high for current manned missions to reach. GPS and communications satellites must return to their assigned orbits as soon as possible after any evasive maneuver; the latter must hover over a fixed point on the equator, and the former will give navigation users (cars, aircraft, and possibly MISSILES) wrong readings during evasion. Space collisions are not what we want to multiply!
The sulfur promulgation is not too bad an idea, if we can put it up in the higher altitudes where it will not produce acid rain onto the surface. One way might be to use higher sulfur jet fuel in aircraft, even after "greening" aircraft to use biofuel.
The socio-political question is, will geoengineering, even when it works AS DESIGNED, which is not guaranteed, be carried out by dominant groups of people (countries OR corporations) to tailor the climate to THEIR benefit, or by some as yet nonexistent authority that actually considers the welfare of ALL humanity? I hate to think of Bangladesh being threatened with loss of hurricane prevention services if they cannot afford to pay "protection" money to Arthur Daniels Midland, for example.

Nice article. I would like to have seen more discussion of geo-engineering as a stopgap - a stop-the-clock maneuver that would allow us to survive to complete the transition to non-fossil energy while removing the excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Obviously this would require using a cooling process that could be turned on and off, and dialed down as carbon in the air came down to pre-industrial levels, and you still have all the issues of who's in charge, etc. But given the lack of progress on the political front on carbon emissions, it may be our only hope.
Fri, 2013-09-06 13:04
The tragic irony (or is it ironic tragedy) that I rarely hear mentioned in these discussions of geoengineering is that we were set up to use the burning of hydrocarbons for our greater good - if only we had the political will to override the moneyed interests and let scientific knowledge determine our course. Absent human effects, we will be heading into another ice age cycle in a few thousand years, as part of the ongoing natural cycle of slight changes in orbital parameters and axis tilt (Milankovitch cycle). At that time we could use this bounty of buried hydrocarbons and burn them at a controlled rate to increase average global temps and offset the effects of the cooling phase of the Milankovitch cycle. Kind of like having our cake and eating it too. But sadly we are in an all out race to see how fast we can burn the planet's hydrocarbons, just so that the absurd wealth accumulation that players in the energy extraction biz have can continue. As if they didn't have enough money to split up already. It's amazing that in a world where we have solved so many technological problems our own innate stupidity as a species can rear its ugly head so easily.

For one thing, engineering the climate would be a gargantuan task. It has taken at least 150 years of the combined effect of all industries worldwide to change it as much as it has... how much effort and expense would it take to turn that around? I'd say the cost is prohibitive. For another, such an effort would have huge political implications. Who would decide what was to be done, and how can we know that profit, and not the restoration of the 18th century climate, would not be the actual goal? I suspect that 21st century supercorporations would consider it as just a humongous business opportunity. The bottom line, though, is that it would be far too expensive, and take far too long in any case. A much easier, cheaper and more certain approach would be to 1) plant trees, of course, to soak up as much carbon as possible, an insufficient amount to be sure, but better than nothing (what we really need is to put a million years worth of forests back into the ground, something we can NEVER do), and 2) STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUEL! We are trying to put at least 1000 ancient forests, since preserved as coal and oil, back in the ground, using just ONE world forest, so we know that won't do much, so we need to STOP adding to atmospheric carbon! THAT is the ONLY way we will reasonable stop the progression of global warming and climate change.

ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

Smokering- I have a Janome 6600 (they have updated that model since I bought mine to something like the Super Galaxy 950000 starship auto crafter or the like... maybe actually it is just a 7000?) Anyway- I LOVE it! I upgraded to that from a 6500- and the upgrades were definitely worth it. I can free motion a kingsize quilt with it and it has a ton of stitch options that I never use, the thread cutting button, needle up/needle down, start/stop, and I believe all the other features you mentioned. Might be a little higher than your range- but my dealer takes trade ins sight unseen- so.... you know... check that out? My dealer also gets in the ones with smudged paint and those end up being way more reasonable as well.

Hey, it's twelve past midnight. New Year for me. Happy New Year, everyone!
I made a dress. It is twirly:
And has a high-waisted bodice from a rather unattractive Ottobre shift-dress pattern with sleeves, and a self-drafted skirt section. I wanted to avoid the Empire look, so it doesn't flare out until the hips.
Annnnnnnd, best of all - I can breastfeed in it!
I'm cutting out another version already. I like it. The underbust zip thing wouldn't work if you were full-busted, unless maybe you had stretchy fabric; but for me it works fine. (I think. Haven't tested it with an actual baby yet, but the salient areas are accessible.)
I'll definitely be doing this challenge again next year - er, this year - but instead of a six-garments-for-myself goal, I'm going to up it to ten. Thanks for all the support and inspirational photos this year, guys! It's been fun. :)
Iowa: I looked up the Janome 6600, but someone said it doesn't have a free arm - is that true? I sew a lot of shirt cuffs and toddler shorts and the like, so I really need one. It does look good, though. It's technically a leetle out of my price range, but then, I've been seduced by a Pfaff Ambition 1.5, which is similarly over budget, so... who knows. Depends how much money DH makes next year. :p
In the mean time I'm quite happy sewing on Mum's trusty old monster. That grey dress? I did an invisible hem on it. By machine. Until two days ago I didn't know you could do that. I had a vague impression the invisible hem stitch was a funky decorative zigzag. And the broken zigzag stitch? Yup, found out what that does too. You can finish seams with it without getting the tunnely folding-over effect you get with a wide zigzag stitch. Who knew, right? Probably everyone, but it was a paradigm shift for me. And here I am lusting after 600-stitch machines when I still don't know what half my 15 stitches do!
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.
Will there be a new thread for 2014?
Me, 30 single mama to T age 8 We and Love it!
Now that I'm back from gallivanting around with family for the holidays and I have all the pictures that were being held hostage on a different hard drive, I can post my last projects of 2013!
There were lots of Christmas presents!
I made this felted cloche for my sister. 46/52
I thought it turned out so cute, I made a matching one for her daughter. 47/52
Pair of socks for my little guy, should have made them just a bit bigger, they are already almost too small :( 48/52
I made 2 crocheted and starched crowns for my other nieces. They were a little more fragile than I had hoped, but they were well received. I only have a picture of 1. 50/52
I made a pair of oven mitts for my mom, the pattern I used was kind of small though :/ 51/52
This minecraft hat was for my nephew, he was pretty excited about it, which made me happy. 9 year old boys can be tricky to craft for. 52/52-GOAL!!!
A new pair of mittens for DS1, these have lots of room to grow 53/52
And I revamped an old eye mask for my dad, who is going to be flying overseas a few times this year, but I didn't get a picture. 54/52
See you in the new thread :)

ESI is a compilation of statistical information (publication, citation, and cites-per-paper counts) for scientists, institutions, countries, and journals. It is based on 10 years of Thomson Reuters data. The Essential Science Indicators Data Information Pages explains how Essential Science Indicators works using counting methods for articles and citations, time periods for counts, types of items counted, journals included, citation thresholds, name conflation, name variations, and rank orderings.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The owners of 'The Laurels B&B' were wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Wifi was spotty. It is a quick 10 minute walk to beautiful Kilkenny and right off of the highway, so easy to get to with a car. The only thing that was disappointing is that the B&B is home to 2 cats and a dog. This was not communicated on the advertisement. Both of my traveling companions are allergic to cats, one severely so. This impacted the quality of our stay.

Originally written on borisdiawtime.blogspot.com | Last updated 6/14/12
Even though the Finals are far from over, this past NBA season is done and over with for 28 teams. For those clubs, the focus has shifted from the practice facility to the combine, from game planning to cap management. From now until next fall, the game is a radically different one, one where mere competency seems to be a rare luxury and one where panic and stupidity typically rule the day. Yes, it's the NBA offseason, the time of the year where fat players like Big Baby Davis get even fatter contracts! Why do they get these contracts? Perhaps the Magic also own a struggling chain of local buffets…we may never know. (If that is the case, then I expect them to throw BIIIIIIIIG money at Boris Diaw) It's no secret that the offseason is not always the NBA's finest hour. Draft picks are constantly wasted, max contracts handed out to secondary players, and role players courted like superstars. It really is a mess. A big, giant, tragic mess. And even with a new CBA in place last fall, the league's top executives STILL couldn't stop making idiotic moves! Since common sense is such a struggle for these people, I thought I'd take the time and offer a helping hand this offseason. Each team needs to make a move or decision of some kind, whether it be big or small, and I'm going to give each and every team one such move they should make. We'll start with the Atlantic Division and work our way through the league.

Danny Glover Says Second Amendment Prevented Slave Revolts, Conservative Students Petition
Actor Danny Glover discussed the roots of the Second Amendment during a recent college appearance, saying the legislation was ratified to protect against slave revolts. Now, a conservative student group is launching a petition against the school's "leftist bias."
Glover appeared at Texas A&M on Thursday, Jan. 17 for an event honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when the conversation turned to the right to bear arms, according to RawStory. Glover proceeded to discuss the Second Amendment, and how it was written to protect the institution of slavery and to help secure Native American land.
"I don't know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms," Glover said. "The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans. So, a revolt from people who were stolen from their land, or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that's what the genesis of the Second Amendment is.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — For nearly 40 years, Sen. Pete Domenici's reputation was that of a well-respected — some might say staid — conservative Republican and honorable family man.
But the 80-year-old New Mexico political giant's persona was shaken Wednesday with the revelation that he had an out-of-wedlock child in the 1970s and became embroiled in what might be described as an inside-the-Beltway soap opera.
While his wife Nancy was raising their eight children, Domenici had the affair and secret child with a woman about half his age — and who happened to be the daughter of one of his Senate colleagues. The woman raised the child on her own, became a prominent lobbyist, Republican activist and political commentator, and their 30-something son has since gone on to build an impressive Washington resume himself.
The saga shocked people in New Mexico who viewed Domenici as a man of honesty and integrity during his six terms and 36 years in the Senate that ended in 2008.
"I deeply regret this and am very sorry for my behavior," Domenici said in his statement. "I hope New Mexicans will view that my accomplishments for my beloved state outweigh my personal transgression."
Domenici and the mother of the child, Michelle Laxalt, went public this week, she said, out of fear someone was about to release the information in an attempt to smear Domenici and his "extraordinary wife." They issued a statement revealing the story to the Albuquerque Journal.
They identified their son as Nevada attorney Adam Paul Laxalt, a former U.S. Navy officer who served in Iraq.
It was just the latest in a seemingly endless stream of politicians being forced to reveal secret children, from one-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards to former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just last week, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee acknowledged that he's the father of a 24-year-old woman after the two were seen communicating on Twitter during the State of the Union address.
Domenici was known for his unflagging support of the state's national laboratories and military installations, and he became a power broker for his work on the federal budget and energy policy.
Domenici voted for the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton in 1998 after his affair with Monica Lewinsky, but his floor statement focused on the fact that Clinton had lied under oath, noting that the trial "has never been about the President's private sex acts, as tawdry as they have been."
But in the same speech, he cited the value of "truthfulness" and how it's the first pillar of good character.
Reached at his home in Washington on Wednesday, Domenici said he had nothing more to say. Domenici and his wife have been married more than 50 years and have eight children.
Michelle Laxalt was an up-and-coming Washington figure when she and Domenici had an affair. Laxalt, then in her 20s, is the daughter of former Nevada Gov. and Sen. Paul Laxalt, who served two terms beside Domenici.
In 2008, Domenici was reprimanded by the Senate ethics committee for his involvement in a scandal over the Bush administration's firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Police say a 12-year-old boy is in custody accused of breaking into a Southfield bank overnight.
Police tell FOX 2 the Oak Park boy used his bicycle to break through the glass entrance of the Bank of America branch along Greenfield Road near 10 Mile around 3 a.m. Friday.

Police arrived on scene to find the boy still inside the branch.
He was taken into custody and police contacted his mother.
Bank of America representative Diane Wagner released the following statement: "We have security measures in place and take any attempted burglary to our banking centers seriously. This is an unfortunate incident and we are cooperating with local law enforcement."
The boy remains at the Southfield police department Friday morning.

Affordable Constant Lighting
Named a Hot One by Professional Photographer magazine in 2011, the uLite is a compact 500-watt constant light while still offering a low price tag. Unlike the competition, the uLite is constructed on a nylon-based polycarbonate with built-in tilter bracket, the uLite is extremely durable. This is the ideal light source when working in small or cramped spaces and is compatible with both incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs.
Quick and Easy Setup
Unlike traditional softboxes, uLite modifiers literally set up in seconds. With just a simple push on the uLite softbox's center bracket, this dedicated modifier assembles and locks into place providing control over your uLite.
Certified for Safety
All uLites are approved by both the CE the CSA for safety. These light sources are tested on heat emittance, durability, and construction, ensuring their ability to be used around infants, children, pets, and products.
Continuous Output
Unlike strobe lights and flashes, constant light sources give photographers the ability to see the effects of their light placement before they shoot. This allows for the easiest, most precise photo and video shoot preparation. With the option to shoot still and motion, in either tungsten or fluorescent, uLites are the perfect light source for versatile enthusiasts and amateurs.
Choose Between Fluorescent and Tungsten
Tungsten is the most affordable lighting available and adds warmth to you photo and video creations, with a color temperature of about 3200 Kelvin. These bulbs last for approximately 60 hours of use. It is important to remember that tungsten lamps get warm, so always allow these bulbs to cool before handling. Daylight-flourescent bulbs stay cool to the touch with a color temperature similar to window-lighting, at about 5500 Kelvin. These bulbs are a little more costly, with a life of about 10,000 hours.
Vast Collection of Kits and Bundles
Whether you are interested in purchasing a complete studio or are looking to explore a new hobby, there is a uLite kit for you. From simple uLite backlights to green screen for video, uLite kits feature an array of Westcott Basics products, including umbrellas, softboxes, backdrops, and stands. All uLite kits are developed for learning, experimenting, and getting creative from whatever location you happen to be in.

Looking for a way to give out a special prize? THIS IS IT! You make a winner out of any spectator! Great for birthday parties, office parties, corporate events or any occasion where you need to control the outcome of the game!
The effect is very simple: You show your audience for different color bags. You announce that three of the bags are empty, but one of them contains a prize. You choose a lucky spectator who gets the chance to win the prize. To "make things fair", your spectator chooses a number from one to four. You hold up a board with the numbers "1" through "4". After the spectator has chosen a number, you lift the flap on the board to show the colors underneath the numbers. Your spectator gets the color bag that corresponds to the number he chose.
Now let the spectator open each of the bags he didn't choose. Of course, those bags are empty. He opens the bag he chose- and there is a note that says "YOU WIN THE PRIZE!"
This effect practically works itself. Absolutely no skill is required!
Special thanks to our friend, magician and legendary radio personality Lou Dean, for helping us demonstrate this effect.

But, it is not worth messing with.
So I just turned off all three case fans for CPU temperatures less than 40 C.
The two CPU heat sink fans cannot be controlled, it is a three pin connector.
CPU is around 35c right now idling.
So, pretty much, running a game kick start the fans.

First I would like to say that for the most part I liked TDKR. For an action flick it had alot of exciting scenes and fantastic effects. And as a life long Batman fan I am naturally ecstatic to see a Blockbuster Batman movie done with all the trimmings of top notch hollywood film. I guess after the last Batman movie The Dark Knight I was expecting the latest film to be at least on par with, if not better. Very few can deny the excellent job the late Heath Ledger did with the character of the Joker. That is why I am so puzzled how they got this last movie so wrong. I know that normally the last film in a trilogy has the undesirable job of tying up all the loose ends so there was alot of material to go through and resolve. But TDKR seemed to miss used the time and didn't explain some crucial points that would help the movie make sense to the viewer. I would like to say I am not normally a person who goes into a movie looking for flaws to rip it apart. I understand that the transition from comic to movie is never precise and there are alterations that need to be made. I like to go into a movie with an open mind and try to buy into the world the film maker is fabricating for me. But here are the Top 5 reasons I couldn't totally buy into Chris Nolan's TDKR. If you can enlighten me on any of these points please reply, maybe I am looking at it the wrong way. But if you agree can you please post why.
John Blake is the most intelligent man in Gotham? He has to be, he was the only one to figure out Bruce Wayne is Batman. I mean he is not just suspicious or maybe has a conspiracy theory. He goes to Bruce's mansion and tells him to his face with the conviction of a judge who has sat through an entire trial and is super sure of the defendant's guilt. No one else notices that the same time Batman disappears Bruce Wayne becomes a recluse. And Blake figuring out the secret identity so early in the film makes Gordon look like an idiot when he figures out in the very end. I mean Gordon worked intimately with Batman and he never figured it out. A man who was such an excellent cop and detective he rose through the ranks and ultimately becomes Commissioner of ALL of Gotham is out smarted by a beat cop.
Bruce Wayne has a healing factor? He must, first he is a cripple for 8 years and with the help of a knee brace jumps back into the role of Gotham's protector without missing a beat. Then he takes the beating of his life by Bane and gets his back broken, only to recover from all of this in a matter of 5 months. But not only does he recover he is better than ever able to beat Bane when he couldn't 5 months prior in better health. I can't imagine the prison he was in nourished him better than living in Wayne manor with his own butler.
Lastly he survives a shiv to the side pilots a nuclear bomb out over the bay and escapes the 6 mile blast radius with 5 seconds left on the detonator.
Gotham's finest are the most dedicated warriors and care nothing for themselves. They must because not only do they all go into the sewers leaving Gotham totally defenseless. But after being trapped for months they emerge from the wreckage in full uniform with just a little dust and dirt on them. I know they have been receiving rations but have you ever gone a day without a shower? Imagine 5 months in the same clothes in a stinking cave. And on returning from the cave in what do they do? The charge head first into a lopsided battle where the enemy not only has the advantage of having the high ground, but is waaay over gunned and has tanks. Do the cops go and check on their families and loved ones? No they charge head first into their most likely doom without so much of a glance in their loved ones direction.
Bane is the new Dr. Evil. Remember in the first Austin Powers movie when Dr. Evil captures Powers and has a meeting with his evil minions. They discuss what to do with Powers and Dr. Evil's son volunteers to shoot him. No they put him in a pool with laser guided sharks so he can escape and defeat Dr. Evil. In TDKR Bane has won, he beat and incapacitated Batman. There is anarchy in the streets of Gotham and the outside world is cut off. And finally he captures and fakes the death of the ONLY scientist in the world that can turn Wayne's power source into a nuclear bomb and what does he do? He waits for months for Batman to get better and has a chance no matter how slim to come back and defeat him.
He tells Batman that he is there to finish Ra's Al Ghul's ultimate plan. Well good ole Ra's wanted to destroy Gotham, that's it. So when Bane is victorious and is able to do what the Great Ra's Al Ghul is unable why doesn't he just press the button and blow up Gotham? Why doesn't Talia make him, that's what she really wanted.
This is the one thing that disturbed me the most. BANE!!! I will start with his voice. Not only is it hard to understand but he sounds like Sean Connery? Bane looks to have come from some Middle Eastern country but he sounds like an irishman? Ok that is a minor gripe. Here is the major gripe, what happened to the Venom? Venom is what makes Bane ..Bane.
I have watched the movie twice and no where in the movie says anything about a steriod strength enhancing drug. They explained that his mask emits gas that is some kind of painkiller. So what you are telling me is that ANY man that is dedicated and works hard enough can come along defeat and break the BAT. No ordinary man can beat the Batman. Batman is definition of dedication and iron will. He has pushed himself to nearly perfect his human physiology along with his unmatched intellect. So what does Batman do when he feels his first fight with Bane was going the wrong way? He throws a few smoke bombs and turns out the lights. You would think he would have something more effective in his utilityt belt, maybe a taser, pepper spray or even rape whistle. There was nothing in the movie Bane that makes him Bane, not the experiments, not the strength enhancing , not even the cool mask, they should have just called him Thug Leader 1.

I am near a place called Wagga Wagga. I've lived in Sydney and Brisbane (I'm from there originally). Where I am currently is fairly rural, a small town called Tumbarumba, lol, but it gives my daughter a chance to grow up with some of the small town freedoms I had growing up in Redcliffe. Like y'know, less freaks, lower crime rate and such. I'd swap it for the coast but!
Join my JBW roster!
Hey mate,
I'm sorry and didn't mean to offend in the Sammartino thread. I was never there and can't honestly attest to the steroid thing, I was simply going on what I have read. And of course, we know how much of that to believe. Sorry that I came off as an ass. I shouldn't have been so vitriolic about that stuff. Hope I haven't turned you off the EWN, it can be great, but I'm the Mod who rants a bit
Hope to see you on the boards
