Geographic Range
Martial eagles (Polemaetus bellicosus) are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, although they avoid dense forests and are absent from much of central Africa. (Burton and Burton, 2002; Machange, et al., 2005)
Martial eagles prefer open habitats including savanna, steppe, semidesert and scrubby woodlands. These eagles require trees for nesting and are absent from arid or cleared areas, although there have been cases of martial eagles in the Karoo region of South Africa using power line supports to form nests. Martial eagles are spread sparsely throughout their geographical range punctuated with pockets of higher densities found in large protected areas, especially in South Africa and Zimbabwe. They can be found at all altitudes under 3000 meters. (Burton and Burton, 2002; Machange, et al., 2005; Thiollay, 1994; de Goede and Jenkins, 2001)

Physical Description
Martial eagles are Africa's largest eagle. Adults range in size from 78 to 96 cm in length, weighing between 3.1 and 6.2 kg, with a wingspan from 188 to 260 cm. The males are slightly smaller than females (76% of the size). The adults have brown upper-parts and have a short dark crest. The underparts are white with brown to black spots that extend to feathered legs. The bill is long, strongly hooked and black. The toes are bluish gray and armed with large curved talons. The wings are long and slightly pointed with dark tips and dark under-wing coverts, although the flight feathers are barred. The tail is short, lighter in appearance, and is also barred. Females have more spots on the underparts than males do. Juveniles have pale to white upper-parts and have pale wings with light under-wing coverts.

Martial eagles lack a mating dance although both sexes will make a loud, distinctive cry during mating periods. They form monogamous pairs and reportedly mate for life. (Burton and Burton, 2002)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Martial eagles nest in large trees or pylons often located on hill sides. The nest is a large structure (4 – 6 feet in diameter) made of sticks up to 1.5 inches in diameter and lined with green leaves. Pairs may build multiple nests (up to 7 nests in a given territory) and alternate between nests on successive years. The nests are often re-used from year to year with the female repairing parts of the structure and re-lining the interior with leaves. Mating seasons vary across the geographic range, although it generally occurs during the dry season: from February until November in South, Central and East Africa, from August till January in North East Africa, and in November in West Africa. Martial eagles more often breed once every two years, than once every year.
The female lays generally 1, sometimes 2 eggs. Incubation lasts for 45 to 50 days, and chicks fledge 90 to 100 days after hatching. Juveniles remain close to the nest for up to 6 months, and do not reach full independence until 2 to 3 years of age. Martial eagles reach reproductive maturity at 4 to 5 years of age. (Allan, 1996; Burton and Burton, 2002; Machange, et al., 2005; Simmons and Brown, 2006; Thiollay, 1994)

The female incubates the egg for the 45 to 50 days it takes for a chick to hatch, although males have been observed incubating. Males rarely bring food to incubating females until the egg hatches, after which males will hunt and feed females for approximately 2 months. Chicks are born without feathers and become fully fledged after 90 days, and after which they attempt their first flight. Juveniles spend several years in the nest region before being chased off by the adults. (Brown, 1966; Burton and Burton, 2002; Thiollay, 1994)

In the wild, martial eagles are expected only to live an average of 14 years, although one individual was recaptured 25 years after being banded. (Brown, 1966; Burton and Burton, 2002)

Martial eagles spend most of the time hunting or soaring high above the ground (generally invisible to the naked eye). With their large wings and broad tail they are excellent at soaring, although poor at maneuvering which helps explain why they avoid dense forests. These eagles hunt by attacking in a well controlled dive at a slanted angle and striking prey with their long legs. They often perch on dead branches and trees that give a wide view of the areas and generally return to these perches when resting. Although uncommon, they have been observed hunting from a perched position. Martial eagles are shy and often avoid humans. (Allan, 1996; Burton and Burton, 2002; Simmons and Brown, 2006; Thiollay, 1994)

- Range territory size
- 15 to 300 km^2
Home Range
A pair of adults can occupy a range up to 300 square kilometers, although in high densities a pair's territory is often less than 20 square kilometers. (Machange, et al., 2005; Thiollay, 1994)
Communication and Perception
Martial eagles are silent for most of the year, although during mating season they cry kwi-kwi-kluee-kluee. Like all birds, martial eagles perceive their environment through visual, auditory, tactile, and chemical stimuli. (Burton and Burton, 2002)
Food Habits
Martial eagles eat a variety of medium sized mammals, birds, and lizards generally weighing between 1 – 5 kilograms, determined by whatever is available in their territories, including animals much larger than 5 kilograms. In a study in the Cape Province of South Africa, Cape hares (Lepus capensis) were the dominant prey making up 50% of all kills, followed by striped polecats (Ictonyx striatus), genets (Genetta tigrina and G. genetta), ground squirrels (Xerus inauris) and mongooses (Mungos mungo, Helogale parvula, Herpestes ichneumon, and Galerella sanguinea). In some cases game birds and waterfowl make up a large portion of their diet. These include primarily francolins (Francolinus species), bustards (Otididae), and guinea fowls (Numidae). In other areas, martial eagles prey primarily upon rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis). To a lesser extent, martial eagles have hunted: Vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), baboons (Papio species, especially P. Anubis), small antelopes including: Thomson's gazelles (Eudocas thomsoni), young impala (Aepyceros melampus), duikers (Cephalopus species), jackals (Canis species), snakes, and monitor lizards (Varanus niloticus, V. exanthematicus). These eagles have been seen killing and eating prey up to 35 kilograms. (Boshoff, et al., 1990; Machange, et al., 2005; Thiollay, 1994)
- Primary Diet
- eats terrestrial vertebrates
- Animal Foods
- birds
- mammals
- amphibians
- reptiles
There are no known occurrences of predation on martial eagles, although humans will kill martial eagles if they are perceived as pests. (Machange, et al., 2005)
Ecosystem Roles
Martial eagles are apex predators and can be used as an indicator of ecosystem health. They also likely keep prey populations in check. (Machange, et al., 2005; de Goede and Jenkins, 2001)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
While the results are not clear, it has been suggested that in the Karoo region of South Africa, martial eagles benefit small-stock farmers by managing populations of small grazing mammals that compete with their own domestic grazing animals. In general though, these eagles are very rare outside of protected areas and avoid humans. (Burton and Burton, 2002; de Goede and Jenkins, 2001)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Martial eagles are thought to be the most severely persecuted raptor in South Africa since it sometimes feeds on domesticated poultry, small lambs, and goats. However, a study in Nambia reported these predations make up a small portion (< 1%) of an eagles diet even in areas dominated by small ranchers. Unfortunately, many farmers use poison to ward off predators and many eagles are harmed in this non-specific, deadly method. (Boshoff, et al., 1990; Machange, et al., 2005; de Goede and Jenkins, 2001)
- Negative Impacts
- crop pest
Conservation Status
According to the IUCN Red List, martial eagles are near threatened and their populations are declining throughout their geographic range. Locally, West Africa populations are declining and their presence is rare. In Namibia, martial eagles are endangered due to a decline of 80% in their population over a five year period, where there are approximately only 350 pairs in the country. The population decline can be attributed to shooting and poisoning from local farmers and ranchers, electrocution from nesting on power lines, drowning from attempting to drink at steep-sided reserves, and starvation from the extermination of common food sources. (Burton and Burton, 2002; Machange, et al., 2005; Simmons and Brown, 2006; Thiollay, 1994; de Goede and Jenkins, 2001)

This Made in USA Utopia Backrest is the Original High Quality In Seat Style Backrest designed for and fits any year GL1800 Goldwing motorcycle, including the heated seat version and the 2012 - 2015 GL1800. This is the new version of the backrest and is made with non-dimpled material.
Utopia is the Driver backrest that becomes a part of your seat. No bars in the way of drivers hips and legs or passengers legs. Folds forward to ease passenger getting On or Off and adds to safety by getting out of the way in sudden stops. Includes up and down height adjustment, as well as driver seating position, back and forth, to help driver sit upright to avoid slouching--a big factor in driver fatigue.
Backrest pivots at top of bar as you lean against it so no uncomfortable edges dig into your back. Well padded, but only 1-1/2 thick which takes up less seating room than most other backrests. All Top Bars are finished in a Beautiful Black Powder Coat. Comes with handy pouch with strap to convert to shoulder bag. Fits all GL1800 Gold Wings.
I did read a lot of reviews before buying one. I did get nervous when it came to cutting my seat, but I measured, re-measured, and measured again. I re-read the instructions several times and made the cut. No problem what so ever. This is the best addition I have made to my 2010 wing. It should have come with this from the factory. I have nearly 4 years on it and have had no problems.
As with other reviewers, I was anxious about the installation process. Cutting into the seat was not something I was confident about but the results are worth the effort. Have ridden for many years with no backrest and didn't realize how much comfort it could provide.
I have been dealing with lower back problems for two years after taking a nice soil sample and dirt nap on my KTM 300. Really only a problem after about five hours in the saddle on my wing. This backrest has changed everything. Quit worrying about making the cut on your seat. Just do it.
Probably the best thing I've done for my bike and my back! I was a little worried about cutting the seat, but it was no problem at all. Great product, easy installation, fully adjustable (forward and back as well as up and down.) Makes long distance riding much more enjoyable.
And we can't wait to show you how it's done!

So I just went in to my local Future Shop that accepts trade-ins. They haven't updated their trade-in lists, and are still giving $22.80 for MLB 08 (The same amount they'd give for MLB 09!). I obviously traded the game in and then pricematched Amazon.ca's sale price of $53.99.
After PM price of $53.39 - $22.80 trade-in = $30.59
MLB 08 should be worth about $10 (if that) by now. Hurry before they adjust the trade-in value.
MLB 09 PS3 for $30.59 with trade-in of MLB 08 at FS - HURRY!!!

First the ankle, now the mouth. Serena Williams wasn't giving herself any lip as she beat Garbine Muguruza, a 19-year-old Spaniard, 6-2, 6-0, in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday -- she was just hitting it. You have to produce a very strange follow-through on your forehand to hit yourself in the mouth with your racket, but never underestimate Serena's ability to find new ways of hurting herself. After the cut foot in Munich, which remains a bit of mystery, and all the rolled ankles, we now have an injury that puts Williams firmly in the category of "accident-prone." "Just busted wide open," Serena replied when asked about her lip, acknowledging that the strike drew blood. "I was like, 'Oh, no, I can't have a tooth fall out.' That would be horrible." She professed to not understand how it happened. "I don't know why my racket was even in my face," she said, licking her upper lip as she was talking. "I mean, it's like I've been playing tennis far too long to hit...

I haven't had chapped lips since I was about 10, and now, suddenly, in the middle of the summer, my lips are chapped like crazy!
First I spread on a double-dose of my ByTerry Baume de Rose at night. This did absolutely nothing, thank you very much, Terry. (I know it's not designed for chapped lips, but I thought it was supposed to be *sort of* healing.) Then I tried A&D ointment, which didn't have much impact. I tried Aquaphor, which was better than A&D, but wasn't curing the chapping completely. So I turned to MUA, my Bible for just about everything. And here is where I read about this product, just 2 days ago. I'd never heard of it, and no longer spend time in the "Baby Needs" section of CVS, so I *never* would've run across it. If you have chapped lips, buy it. End of story.
It is the richest, most soothing potion of life. The tube costs $13, and it will last forever, because it is so concentrated that you just need a speck for your lips. After 24 hours my lips were almost completely better. After 48 hours they're back to normal, but I'm going to continue using this during the day (under lipstick) and at night because it feels so luxurious & makes my lips look moist & lovely.
(No, I would not repurchase Baume de Rose.)

I highly, highly recommend this product for dry chapped lips. This winter was so sad and dreadful and I was picking at my lips making it worse. I couldn't wear lipstick, balm anything without my lips looking uneven and even prickly looking from all the dry skin.
This (plus finally stopping picking at them) brought my lips back to normal. It's different from a regular gloss in the sense that it is more long lasting and water/wind proof. Very thick and gloopy texture, no smell really.
Thinking of what it is doesn't gross me out at all because well I feel like if it's good enough for a new born baby to ingest I must be safe:) The only issue is it's hard to find in Toronto but I finally found it at a shoppers in mississauga. My friend, when pregnant actually bought this stuff before she gave birth (a bit of a keener) and she has been using it since breastfeeding and she says she loves it but still suffers from chapped nipples. So can't really comment on that but for lips this is perfect.

I'm surprised everyone is reviewing this for use on the lips. I got a rec from nail board to use this on my dry, cracking, awful cuticles and it's been like some sort of miracle. I can't even tell you what this had done for my hands and cuticles! I also use it on my feet in the winter and the awful dryness and cracking is relieved. Great stuff, though I haven't tried it for lips.

This is nothing short of a miracle for me, my absolute holy grail lip product.
I've had the world's worst dry lips since I was a teenager, and nothing helped - I tried scrubs, creams, balms, oils, Vaseline, even going totally lip-product free, and nothing improved it, some just made it worse. Basically bits of skin were peeling off my lips every day for ten years, to the point where I have a permanent red scar on my lower lip from it bleeding so many times.
Then within days of using Lansinoh morning and night my lips were soft and smooth and not the slightest bit peely! Yes the texture is very thick and sticky but it's more than worth it for the actual MIRACLE this has performed.
I have to keep using it every night, after a couple of nights without it my lips start to get dry again. I never want to be without this product ever again. This is probably the only product I'll ever say that about!

This one is hard to rate in terms of lippies. It has pros and cons. But bottom line, it works and I have bought it again and again.
I first used this when BFing. Thankfully, never had cracked nips but applied this religiously to avoid that horror.
Aside from BFing, works great on cracked hands or feet. I am plagued with dry skin - especially on my heels. When going to get pedicure, before I take my shoes off I'm like... "I know I'm a challenge. I WILL tip you."
Pros: (1) no stinging on dry or cracked skin, (2) works!!! I've tried EVERYTHING!!! (3) fairly easy to find (4) relatively inexpensive
Cons: (1) THICK!!! I can't even think of any skincare product to compare it to b/c it is so thick. Maybe dried out toothpaste or the dried out bits around the neck of a rubber cement container (now that I think about it the smell is kind of like rubber cement). It does warm up with skin contact. It is HARD to get out of the tube it is so thick. I think a pot or tin would be better. It is such a hastle to use that I often find myself reaching for my Aquaphor or Attrac-tain instead (2) STINKS. I HATE the smell of this product. I would have to be really hard-pressed to apply this to my face or lips. The smell does not dissipate IME. (3) The flip top has broken off almost EVERY tube I've ever purchased. And I've purchased 15-20 tubes (I BF 4 children + my dry "tip required" feet). (4) It stains my socks. I also have a suspicion it "breaks down" the cotton b/c they seem to wear out faster. I have certain socks designated as "lanisoh socks".
So as you can see, it has some VERY strong cons but I still buy it b/c NOTHING has ever worked as well as this product for my dry feet/hands.

Give it a chance!
I disliked this at first, because it was heavy and felt like gross vaseline, but now I prefer it over everything!
Pure lanolin is fairly solid at room temp, so you really need to warm it up, either in your hand or on your lips. Once it melts, it goes on like butter. Rub it in nicely, and you'll have soft lips or skin for hours!
I also thought it was breaking me out around my mouth, but it is definitely not doing anything bad. Either it's possible to "get used" to it, or something else was happening.

Meh, this works well enough...kind of a Vaseline on steroids. I It is very thick so it does a good job of sealing in moisture but tends to make the chapping problem worse with long term use. The packaging gets greasy/linty fast but it is obviously designed to sit in a medicine cabinet, not to be toted around. I used up my tube but will not repurchase.

I hate to be "that person"-but I also hate putting this stuff on my lips. It's so thick and sticky, I can barely get it to spread over my chapped lips. I can't stand the feel of it, which is a huge bummer because I now have a big container of it sitting unused. I much prefer Aquaphor, which has a better consistency and keeps my lips soft, even in the cold snowy weather!

Yes this is a marketed as a treatment for breastfeeding moms with cracked nipples. I kind of wish I would have had this six years ago when I had my son! However I am not BF'ing so I bought this for my lips. Since the Midwest weather has turned colder and more windy, my lips are so chapped! To the point that lip gloss looked beyond awful on and even scrubbing my lips did not work. I would pick and peel at them even - to the point of pain. Not good, I know. But nothing worked! Literally ONE application of this and my lips were soft and smooth - no flakiness, no dryness, not chapped at all, just smooth and soft lips. I tired it on my feet too a few nights ago, put on some socks and next morning my feet felt so soft. It is very thick and kind of greasy, but I do not mind. I absolutely need this for the cold Chicago winters and I will for sure buy this again ~ at least until spring hits again!

My sister-in-law was here all last week and I had SO much fun with her! We went shopping and had some much needed girl time and Sam and I took her all over town seeing the sites. Boston is the best place to be for the 4th of July by the way. Awesome fireworks.
While she was here she shared with me this super easy treat. I have to admit it, I was a bit skeptical at first. Crackers dipped in chocolate? Could it really be that tasty? The answer is YES. Absolutely yes. We made ours all ready for the Olympics and if you want to have an Olympic viewing party or themed event then these are a must!
The ingredients: Ritz crackers, peppermint extract, baker's chocolate or almond bark, and food coloring (optional).
Using a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate or almond bark in 30 second increments stirring in between. After melting the chocolate add in the peppermint extract. For every square of chocolate you need 1/4 tsp. of peppermint extract. In each of our bowls we melted two squares of chocolate so each bowl had 1/2 tsp. of extract added.
If you want to add food coloring do it here. Sometimes adding food coloring to melted chocolate can cause it to become a bit thick and paste-y but a few drops of olive oil will make it smooth again as well as give it a nice sheen. And you won't be able to taste the olive oil at all.
Everything always tastes better the messier you do it. It is a proven fact. So since our bowl is so messy our cookies are going to be that much more delicious. Dip the Ritz cracker into the chocolate completely covering both sides. Hold the cracker on the fork and tap it against the bowl just like the picture below. As you tap it the chocolate will smooth out until you have a nice even coat.
Place on parchment paper while you work on the rest of the crackers and make additional colors if you desire.
Once all the cookies are covered in chocolate pop them in the fridge until the chocolate sets up. I actually like to leave them in the fridge, the cool peppermint is absolutely delicious. Once the chocolate hardens you have some beautiful Olympic ready treats!
These are deceptively simple. I know it is hard to imagine that they are that good, but trust me they are SO yummy. If you like Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies then you will LOVE these as well. And just like any other thing chocolate they can melt if left out in the heat for awhile. Just another reason I like to keep them in the fridge.
If you want to make them sans food coloring and skip that step go right ahead. They look just as purrty when they are left white.
There is something about the cool, crisp taste of the peppermint with the slightly salty cracker that just works. If you make them I definitely want to hear how they turn out so be sure to share!

This idiot should run for office. The GOP needs more good ole' boys like him. There's always room for one more in the Republican Clown Car...
Hmm. Never got one. Still alive. I think I'm good.
I pretty much agree with your sentiments, and that other people may not think the way I do, and that's cool. Obviously a lot of sites rely on advertising to survive, and since they are surviving *someone* is seeing/watching those ads. It's just not me. And honestly, not to sound like an ass, but as long as I don't need to see them I'm good.
And I'll even admit there are a few (VERY few) sites where I don't block the ads because I want to support the site and the ads are extremely unobtrusive, so I can live with that. I use a lot of ad-supported apps on my phone/tablet, and I'm generally ok with that too so long as the ad is unobtrusive (I remember trying to play Angry Birds and the ads popped up in such a way that made the game impossible to play; deleted that shit real quick and never looked back). I have a buddy who sells a few basic Android apps and originally went with a 99 cent price with no ads. He wasn't getting a lot of purchases and then decided to offer a free version with ads and he makes over 10x the amount of money just from those small little popup ads. So, hey, more power to him.
For now most of the app ads are unobtrusive, but the web was once like that too. When things start to change and get out of control that's when it's going to be time to look into adblockers for my phone and tablet.
Never heard of the little critter.
Um yeah, when exactly was the last time that happened? Like never. Google kindly sends me urgent updates via my phone and thru Chrome notifications. I'm good with that.
This. I don't want to see ads, I'm sick to death of seeing ads, and I'll do everything in my power not to. If that means the end of the web, I don't care. There isn't a single solitary website I can't live without.
The thing that gets me is that even though advertisers know full well we're all sick to death of advertising and don't want to see it they are doing everything they can to shove it down our throats whether we like it or not. And y'know what, If I'm forced to somehow sit thru an ad when I don't want to (I recently tried to watch a video at CBS.com, and if you block the ads you can't watch the program) I'm either going to a.) mute the sound and switch the tab till the ad is over, or b.) make note of the advertiser and NEVER patronize them simply because they forced me to sit thru an ad I had no interest in seeing. In most cases I will do both.
Fuck them.
Yeah, I stopped after the first paragraph. If you believe that pizza and Big Macs are "meals" and strawberries and almonds are "luxuries" you need medication. I dare say if people ate more of the latter and less of the former we'd have a lot less obesity in this country. Strawberries and almonds certainly are not a luxury. Fruit and nuts are essential parts of a healthy diet whereas pizza and Big Macs are the antithesis of one.
What little of your "argument" I did read is fallacial at best, ridiculous at worst, and sorry, but I don't argue with stupid or crazy. Carry on.
It's more of a raise than most people got, so stop bitching.
Considering your inane rant was a non sequitur strawman argument I am not required to argue its merits, because by definition is has none. But ok, sure, I'll humor you:
First off, strawberries aren't food? Since when? And pizza and Big Macs are?
Whatever difficulties there are in picking strawberries are irrelevant, as the production of every food substance has it's own set of challenges. Pizza dough has to be used when it's thawed and can't be refrozen. Same with hamburger. Cheese needs to be refrigerated. French fries can only be up to 2 hours old and then need to be pitched. Buns have to be thrown out once they get stale, and so on. None of which are germane to the discussion of wages.
And don't you think, following your trainwreck of thought, that if strawberries aren't priced fairly due to slave wages, that pizza and Big Macs also are not priced fairly due to the slave wages paid to make them? Not to mention the grade-z ingredients used? But again, irrelevant to the discussion of wages as the production of strawberries via slave wages is no different than the production of any other product via slave wages. And none of this has anything to do with almonds.
I laid out very specific economic points, each of which you ignored and then went on a rant about how delicate and luxurious strawberries are. Which not only makes no sense, it's completely irrelevant to the discussion and not even close to being on topic. If anything you actually proved my point -- if strawberries are so difficult to pick, and so delicate, one would think you'd need skilled labor to do it correctly and efficiently. And skilled labor doesn't come cheap. And I'm betting that paying your workers $25/hr + benefits is still cheaper than watching your entire crop shrivel and die because you can't find anyone willing to work for less. Let's also remember we're not talking about a little mom and pop farm here, the farm from the article is one of the biggest producers of strawberries -- most certainly a multi-million dollar enterprise whose top men I'm sure get paid very handsomely.
Any more words from the peanut gallery?
Sorry, but everything you've said is idiotic and irrelevant. Great strawman argument tho, I'll give you props for that.
There is quite the preponderance of evidence showing that raising salaries, even significantly, does not translate into a significant rise in consumer prices, especially when dealing with bulk items.
When Papa John bitched and moaned about Obamacare it was revealed the extra cost per pizza was 11 cents. The minimum wage in Denmark is $20/hour + a ton of government-mandated perks, yet their Big Macs only cost about 25 cents more than ours.
So this whole "if we force employers to pay their workers $15/hr it will drive up the cost of their products" simply doesn't hold water. And on the flip side, you're giving people more money to spend, meaning more products they're going to buy, so you'll likely to sell MORE of your products, not less.
Economics 101.
If you business model requires that you pay slave wages to your employees you need a new business model.
I also love when they say "Americans don't want to do this work", because they always leave off the "for the slave wages I'm willing to pay them".
And as we've seen over and over and over again, increasing the salary you pay to your workers has a negligible effect on the price of your goods that consumers pay.
When I was in high school I used to work on a farm over the summer, picking berries and other fruit. It was absolutely shitty work, but it paid more than McDonalds, which was also shitty work and at least I got to be outside. But to do that as an adult for minimum wage? Oh fuck no. You'd have to pay me upwards of $25 an hour + full health benefits + overtime + minimum 2 weeks vacation to do that kind of shit work. Offer a package like that and see how many American come running for that job they supposedly don't want to do.
I was an early adopter, and actually DID buy games thru their service. I never bought a subscription. So yeah, my money just vanished. Not cool.
If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer

Ted Cruz Schools Journalist On Climate Change – Right Scoop
Man I love this guy.
Ted Cruz completely schooled a journalist who asked him about Climate Change in his Texas Tribune interview, a journalist who was clearly sympathetic to the cause. It was awesome to see.
That was just 3 minutes. Here's the full Texas Tribune interview:
……………………….Click on image above to watch video.
Left Panics Over Peer-Reviewed Climate Paper's Threat To Global Warming Alarmism – Big Journalism
You've heard it said that the science is settled. And it's true. It is settled – settled beyond the possibility of any dispute. A fundamental, inescapable, indubitable bedrock scientific principle is that lousy theories make lousy predictions.
Climate forecasts are lousy, therefore it is settled science that they must necessarily be based on lousy theories. And lousy theories should not be trusted.
Put it this way. Climate forecasts, of the type relied upon by the IPCC and over governmental entities, stink. They are no good. They have been promising ever increasing temperatures for decades, but the observations have been more or less steady. This must mean – it is inescapable – that something is very badly wrong with the theory behind the models. What?
There are many guesses. One is that something called "climate sensitivity," a measure of the overall reaction of the atmosphere to carbon dioxide, is set too high in the models. So Lord Christopher Monckton, Willie Soon, David Legates, and I created a model to investigate this. Although our model is crude and captures only the barest characteristics of the atmosphere, it matches reality better than its luxuriously funded, more complex cousins.
The funding is important. Nobody asked or paid us to create our model. We asked nobody for anything, and nobody offered us anything. We did the work on our own time and submitted a peer-reviewed paper to the Science Bulletin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It's title is "Why models run hot: results from an irreducibly simple climate model."
The paper was quickly noticed, receiving at this writing well over 10,000 downloads. Anybody who understood the settled science that bad theories make bad forecasts knew that this paper was a key challenge to the climatological community to show that our guess of why climate models stink is wrong, or to prove there were other, better explanations for the decades-long failure to produce skillful forecasts.
After the paper made international news, strange things began to happen. My site was hacked. A pest named David Appell issued a FOIA request to Legates's employer, the University of Delaware, to release all of Legates's emails. But since we received no funding for our paper, which of course implies no state funding from Delaware, the university turned Appell down.
The cult-like Greenpeace had better luck with Soon's employer, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, who were very obliging.
They turned over all of Soon's emails. And then Greenpeace sent them to a set of sympathetic mainstream reporters.
Why did Greenpeace do this? Because they suspected we were lying about receiving funding. They were hoping that if they could prove Soon was paid then Soon should have declared to Science Bulletin a conflict of interest, and because he didn't (none of us did), then he should retract the paper.
Greenpeace went away disappointed. We were telling the truth. Soon, like most research scientists, has in the past accepted money from sources other than our beneficent government (and what makes government money pure?). Greenpeace, for instance, often issues these kinds of grants. But there was no money for this paper, as we said.
But Greenpeace still needed to sidetrack discussion – anything to distract from the news that climate models are broken–hence their cozying up to "science reporters."
These reporters, all of whom are paid by corporate interests, emailed asking about the "alleged conflict." I explained to them that we received no funding and thus had no conflict of interest. But they never heard me. It was as if they didn't want to. I offered to discuss the science behind our paper, but none took me up on this.
I posted a running log of these emails at my site, and they make for fascinating reading of how narrow-minded and willfully ignorant the mainstream press can be.
Justin Gillis of the New York Times was particularly reprehensible. In an email sent before publishing a hit piece on Sunday, Gillis accused Soon of an "ethical breach." He issued veiled threats by saying that Soon ought to talk to him, because Soon's employer "may be preparing to take adverse personnel action against" him.
I told Gillis there was no conflict. And I asked Gillis to explain his ties with Greenpeace and other environmental organizations.
Surprisingly, he refused to answer. Well, he did block me on Twitter.
Greenpeace denies the settled science that bad forecasts mean incorrect theories. Don't let them change the subject. This is not about some false accusation of conflict of interest. This is about bad science passing for good because it's politically expedient.
Rockin' In The Frozen World: Snowed-In Rock Band Trapped On Their Tour Bus For Two Days And A Woman Forced To Give Birth In A Firehouse As Buffalo Braces For Another Three Feet – Daily Mail
An expectant mother was forced to give birth in a firehouse after being unable to reach hospital due to nearly six feet of snow falling in just 36 hours in New York.
The Buffalo area has been battered by storms in recent days, which has left some motorists, including the rock band Interpol, trapped on western New York highways, with the National Guard bracing itself for another three feet of snow.
But just as the snow began accumulating around her home on Tuesday evening, Bethany Hojnacki went into labor.

Joyful: Bethany Hojnacki and her husband Jared were trapped in their south Buffalo home Tuesday night as Bethany went into labor. hours later, Lucy Grace Hojnacki was born (pictured) was born in an area firehouse
Her husband Jared decided to flag down firefighters as they helped a driver stuck in the monumental snowstorm near their south Buffalo home, Buffalo News reports.
After some failed attempts- with the help of neighbors -to dig out their street, the Hojnackis were forced to find a quicker solution.
With the help of a stranded driver who also happened to be a pediatric nurse, WVIB reports that Bethany gave birth to a healthy baby girl in a nearby firehouse.
Lucy Grace Hojnacki was born weighing 6 pounds and 2 ounces. She has a big brother in Jared and Bethany's 19-month-old son.
Meanwhile, rock band Interpol were among the 100 motorists stranded on a highway outside Buffalo, when their route to Montreal, where they were due to play a show, became completely blocked.
'Settling in for another night. Haven't moved all day. Hoping the expected storm tonight ain't as bad as predicted. C'mon now now,' tweeted guitarist Daniel Kessler around 7pm Wednesday.
Stranded (with booze): The rock band Interpol (band mates at left) were on their way to play a show in Montreal on Tuesday when their tour bus (at right) became trapped along with 100 or so other motorists on Buffalo-area highways paralyzed by historic snowfall

A 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway remains closed today and dozens of drivers were trapped on the road after their vehicles became overwhelmed by the snow. Other motors abandoned their vehicles or were rescued by state troopers.
Currently, 22 stranded motorists are camping out at the Lackawanna toll station on the Thruway, waiting for vehicles to get through so that they can return home, the Buffalo News reports. Their cars are still parked on the highway – and in the way of snow plows that are attempting to clear the road.
Endjie Ulysses, a student at Penn State University, told NBC News she was one of 14 people trapped on a Greyhound bus on the Throughway for 34 hours before state troopers rescued them on Wednesday.
'I'm just tired. I've only slept for about two or three hours,' she said.
Ominous: Storm clouds and snow blows across Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York, November 18, 2014. An autumn blizzard dumped a year's worth of snow in three days on Western New York state, where seven people died and residents, some stranded overnight in cars, braced for another pummeling expected later on Wednesday

Up to three feet more snow is headed to Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday night and Thursday
The early winter storms and bitter temperatures have already been blamed for at least eight deaths across three states – including a man in Buffalo, New York, who was found dead in his car, covered in several feet of snow after he crashed into a ditch.
The rest of the country was forced to bundle up again today as temperatures continue to clock in at 15 to 20 degrees below average for this time of year.
It was even colder today in many parts of the country than it was on terrible Tuesday. This means lows of 20 degrees in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. and single digits across most of the Midwest – including nine degrees in Chicago.
Even the South is experiencing a record-breaking deep-freeze, with temperatures dropping to 31 in Houston, 30 in New Orleans, 28 degrees in the Florida panhandle and 21 in Atlanta.
The bitter cold snap will continue for the rest of the week, with lows in the teens in the Midwest, 20s in the Northeast and mid-30s in the South for Thursday and Friday.
The storm stranded about 150 people in their cars on the New York State Thruway for hours Tuesday night and Wednesday – including the Niagara University women's basketball team.
Snow smash: The incredible snowfall – five feet in just a matter of hours – caved in roofs and even smashed through the doors of this Buffalo, New York, home
Lake effect: The view from the sky above Buffalo, New York, shows the lake effect snow storm moving into the city from Lake Erie. Lake effect snow has caused nearly all of the snowfall in the last two days – mostly in Upstate New York and western Michigan
A band of storm clouds moves across Lake Erie and into Buffalo, New York on Tuesday. Parts of New York measured the season's first big snowfall in feet, rather than inches, as three feet of lake-effect snow blanketed the Buffalo area and forced the closure of a 132-mile stretch of the state Thruway
Cold enough: Wednesday has proved even colder than terrible Tuesday – with lows of 20 degrees in New York City and Washington, D.C., and single digits across the Midwest. Pictured here, a house in Buffalo, New York, where temperatures dipped to 13
Stranded: The Niargara University wpmen's basketball team was stranded on the New York State Thruway in western New York for 26 hours until they could be rescued. About 150 motorists spent the night in their cars
Frozen: Air travel was also hit by delays thanks to the snow – above is a Delta Airlines plan at Buffalo Greater International Airport
Team spokeswoman Chelsea Andorka said the bus, with about 25 players and coaches aboard, was headed back from a loss in Pittsburgh when it came to a halt at 2am on Tuesday.
'We were told the National Guard was coming by but haven't seen any signs of life,' Andorka said.
'The first time they came they told us to be prepared to stay for a while. One tow truck passed six or seven hours ago.
Even colder: Temperatures dropped even lower today than they were yesterday in much of the country – with lows in the single digits in most of the Midwest and low 20s in the South and Northeast
No relief: It will warm slightly on Thursday – though temperatures will still be far below average for mid-November – teens in the Midwest, 20s and 30s in the Northeast and mid-30s in the South
Warmer weekends: Friday will still be cold and miserable for most of the country, but Sunday and Monday are expected to see average – or even above average – temperatures return
More snow: Up to 18 inches of additional snow could hit western New York today, adding to the six feet that's already on the ground in the region
'It seemed like a nightmare. It just didn't feel like it was going to end,' Bryce Foreback, 23, of Shicora, Pennsylvania, told The Associated Press by cellphone 20 hours into his wait for help. 'I haven't slept in like 30 hours and I'm just waiting to get out of here.'
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deployed 150 members of the National Guard to help clear the cars from the road during a brief lull between storms. A state of emergency, declared on Tuesday, remains in effect for parts of the region and officials are telling people to stay inside and off the roads.
By Wednesday, 100 cars remained on the New York State Thruway. A 132-mile stretch of the vital highway remains closed because snowplows cannot clear the road due to the stuck cars.
Authorities are hoping to clear them by later today.
Amtrak has also suspended train service to and from western New York as crews work to clear tracks of the heavy pileup.
Airports in Buffalo and Grand Rapids, Michigan, were forced to cancel flights as a result of the snow.
Authorities say there is so much accumulation that it can't just be plowed in most places – it must be scooped up and hauled away in order to clear roads.

Parking lot: Over 100 cars are still stranded on the New York State Thruway, preventing plows from clearing it. A 132-mile stretch of the vital highway remains closed
Coming through: Freight trains are plowing their way through western New York, though Amtrak has suspended passenger rail service to the region
Digging out: A man in Buffalo labors to shovel out his driveway in the wake of the snowstorm. Several people have died of heart attacks while shoveling
Stuck: Cars are snowed under across the country, leaving drivers with hours of work if they want to leave
Daunting task: Many residents of Lancaster, New York, haven't even begun to clear their driveways
The storms in Michigan and Upstate New York are the result of lake effect snow. Lake effect snow is the result of cold winds blasting across the relatively surfaces of the Great Lakes, which tend to retain heat, picking up moisture as they go.
When that cold, moist air makes landfall, it can result in sudden, massive snow storms. The squalls can be surprisingly isolated. Some part of Buffalo got nearly five feet of snow on Tuesday. Others escaped with just a few inches.
In a region accustomed to highway-choking snowstorms, this one is being called one of the worst in memory.
Snow blown by strong winds forced the closing of a 132-mile stretch of the Thruway, the main highway across New York state.
Meteorologists say temperatures in all 50 states fell to freezing or below on Tuesday. They say the low temperatures were more reminiscent of January than November.
In New Hampshire and elsewhere, icy roads led to accidents. Lake-effect storms in Michigan produced gale-force winds and as much as 18 inches of snow, and canceled several flights at the Grand Rapids airport.
Schools closed in the North Carolina mountains amid blustery winds and ice-coated roads. In Indiana, three firefighters were hurt when a semitrailer hit a fire truck on a snowy highway.
In Atlanta, tourists Morten and Annette Larsen from Copenhagen were caught off-guard by the 30-degree weather as they took photos of a monument to the 1996 summer Olympics at Centennial Olympic Park.
'It's as cold here as it is in Denmark right now. We didn't expect that,' Larsen said, waving a hand over his denim jacket, buttoned tightly over a hooded sweatshirt.
Neighbors pulled out their tractors on Wednesday to help dig out from the heavy snow fall, which topped 60 inches in some places

Piling up: Art Hauret, of Lancaster, New York, needed a tape measure to show off the four feet of snow that piled up in his driveway in just a few hours on Tuesday
Making the best of it: Some western New York residents, hardened by life in the Great White North, used the massive snow as an excuse to have a little fun
In Buffalo, Brian Krzeminski watched the snow pile up outside the south Buffalo convenience store where he worked overnight and served free coffee to the motorists and pedestrians who came in off the city streets to get out of the blinding snow.
'There are people that came out to get a few things. We had some people who came in just to get a 30-pack of beer, which is kind of odd,' he said. 'We've had EMTs whose ambulance got stuck. I'm constantly seeing cars get stuck.'
The National Weather Service warned that the snow, generated by cold air blowing over the warmer Great Lakes, would continue through Wednesday and could eventually total 6 feet in places. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deployed 150 member of the National Guard to help clear snow-clogged roads and remove abandoned vehicles.
'We have tried to get out of our house and we are lucky to be able to shovel so we can open the door. Basically, that's it, open the door,' said Linda Oakley of Buffalo. 'We're just thinking that in case of an emergency we can at least get out the door. We can't go any further.'
'All around us, it's a solid 4 feet of snow that is so thick and so heavy you can hardly move it with a shovel,' said Oakley, whose son Todd was with her, unable to make it to work just three miles away.
Too cold: By Thursday, temperatures will still be far below normal for this time of year – up to 19 degrees lower than average in some places
More than half of the country is currently covered in snow and more is expected to fall on Wednesday
Buried: Upstate New York residents are digging out today and bracing for up to 18 inches of additional snowfall
Fun in the snow: Kids of all ages found themselves playing in the snow on Tuesday – one of the upsides of the dramatic blizzard
Jim Lehmann was hunkering down with his wife in their town of Hamburg home, while outside his neighbor's house was barely visible through the blowing snow.
'The main thing to do now is sit in the house and wait it out,' Lehmann said. 'My neighbor works for a satellite dish company and he tried to get out this morning and he got stuck 80 feet down the street. And he was there for three hours.'
The town of West Seneca recorded 45 inches by late morning and Alden, to the east, had 48 inches. But typical of lake-effect snow, areas just a few miles away, including downtown and north Buffalo, had just a couple of inches.
At one point, nearly half of West Seneca's plows were bogged down in heavy snow, officials told The Buffalo News. In neighboring Orchard Park, the highway superintendent called the rate of snowfall 'unbelievable,' while next door in Hamburg police cars were getting stuck.
Oakley and her son, Todd, were passing the time watching 'Dumb and Dumber' on Netflix.
'We can't even walk down to the end of the street and get ourselves a pizza,' she said, laughing. 'Maybe if you had snow shoes, I don't know.'
A Dozen Facts Debunking Global Warming Obama Can't Answer (Despite The Phony China Deal) – Yid With Lid
The news was announced early Wednesday November 12, a pseudo climate agreement between the U.S. and China.
Under the deal, the United States would cut its carbon emissions between 26-28% – from levels established in 2005 – by 2025. China would peak its carbon emissions no later than 2030 and would also increase the use of non-fossil fuels to 20% by 2030.
"As the world's two largest economies, energy consumers and emitters of greenhouse gases, we have a special responsibility to lead the global effort against climate change," Obama said Wednesday.
Notice in the deal China doesn't have to start cutting back till 2030 and no cut is outlined just a 20% increase. How could they not agree to that. Their biggest economic competitor has to cut back 25-28% by 2025 and they don't have to even start cutting for another five years. This isn't a deal it's a scam the President can use to sell his executive fiats about climate change. According to Poltico, the President is about to embark on two years of climate-related executive orders, guaranteed to trash the economy.
Does the President really understand what is going on with the climate or is he just promoting the hypothesis because it will result in a worldwide redistribution of income between rich and poor nations? Either way this President is denying the climate facts.
For those of you who want to think for themselves rather than simply listen to the scary speeches of the global warming proponents, I have created a list of a dozen facts about global warming, that those those folks making the scary speeches cannot respond.
Everything below is a fact and I invite the POTUS and /or his climate friends to respond. But they wont. Instead they will call me names like denier or member of the Flat Earth Society (actually there really is a Flat Earth Society and its president believes in the global warming hypothesis so who is the real "flat-earther?)
1) Through Halloween of 2014- The Global Warming Pause has lasted 18 years and one month. Heartland Institute analyst, Peter Ferrara, notes "If you look at the record of global temperature data, you will find that the late 20th Century period of global warming actually lasted about 20 years, from the late 1970s to the late 1990s. Before that, the globe was dominated by about 30 years of global cooling, giving rise in the 1970s to media discussions of the return of the Little Ice Age (circa 1450 to 1850), or worse." So there was thirty years of cooling followed by 20 years of warming and almost 18 years of cooling… and that's what the global warming scare is all about.
2) Antarctic Sea Ice is at record levels and the Arctic ice cap has seen record growth. Global sea ice area has been averaging above normal for the past two years. But to get around those facts, the global warming enthusiasts are claiming that global warming causes global cooling (really).
3) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant it's what you exhale and it is what "feeds" plants. Without CO2 there would not be a single blade of grass or a redwood tree, nor would there be the animal life that depends on vegetation; wheat and rice, for example, as food. Without CO2 mankind would get pretty hungry. Even worse the global warming proponants keep talking about population control because they don't want more people around to exhale, and let's not talk about what they say about stopping methane (no spicy foods, no cows, no fart jokes).
4) There is not ONE climate computer model that has accurately connected CO2 to climate change. In fact CO2 is at its highest levels in 13,000 years and the earth hasn't warmed in almost 18 years. Approximately 12,750 years ago before big cars and coal plants CO2 levels were higher than today. And during some past ice ages levels were up to 20x today's levels.
5) Even with the relatively high levels there is very little CO2 in the atmosphere. At 78% nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere. Oxygen is the second most abundant gas-of-life in the atmosphere at 21%. Water vapor is the third most abundant gas-of-life in the atmosphere; it varies up to 5%. Exhale freely because carbon dioxide is the least abundant gas in the atmosphere at 0.04%.
6) The climate models pushed by the global warming enthusiasts haven't been right. Think about that one for a second. If you believe what people like Al Gore the polar ice caps should have melted by now (actually by last year), most coastal cities should be underwater and it should be a lot warmer by now. As my Mom always said, Man plans and God laughs. The Earth's climate is a very complicated system and the scientists haven't been able to account for all the components to create an accurate model.
7) You are more likely to see the tooth fairy or a unicorn than a 97% consensus of scientists believing that there is man-made global warming. The number is a convenient fraud. Investigative journalists at Popular Technology reported the 97% Study falsely classifies scientists' papers, according to the scientists that published them. A more extensive examination of the Cook study reported that out of the nearly 12,000 scientific papers Cook's team evaluated, only 65 endorsed Cook's alarmist position. That is less than 0.97%. How did they come up with 97%? Well out of all the scientists who had a definite opinion, 97% agreed there was global warming and it was the fault of mankind. And how did the Cook folks determine which scientists believed what? They didn't ask, they read papers written by these scientists and came up with their own opinion.
8) I changed my mind… this past February, Patrick Moore, a Canadian ecologist, and the co-founder of Greenpeace, the militant environmental group told members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee "There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years." There are more like Moore.
9) Back to Ice Age – predictions. When I took Earth Science in college 38 years ago, the professor explained that the scientific consensus was we are heading toward an ice age. That was just before text books were changed to discuss global warming. That was followed by calling it climate change. Now many scientists claim there is new evidence that the Earth may be heading toward an ice age (please stop crying Mr. Gore).
10) Droughts have not increased. It is misleading and just plain incorrect to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate timescales either in the United States or globally," Professor Roger Pielke Jr. said in his testimony before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
In May of 2014 Professor Pielke published a graph that shows the intensity of the planet's droughts from 1982 to 2012. The graph shows that neither droughts nor their intensity have seen a growth trend during that 30-year period.
11) Polar Bears are alive and well and not dying out. In the Fall 2014 issue of RANGE Magazine Dr. Susan Crockford wrote, "In a recent TV ad campaign, the Center for Biological Diversity said, "global warming is pushing polar bears to the absolute brink." Results of recent research show this to be a lie – fat, healthy bears like this one from near Barrow, Alaska, are still common and many of the assumptions used by computer models to predict future disasters have turned out to be wrong." In case you were wondering, walruses are doing fine also.
12) No Increase In Hurricanes: A study published in the July 2012 Journal of the American Meteorological Society concluded unequivocally there is no trend of stronger or more frequent storms, asserting:
We have identified considerable inter-annual variability in the frequency of global hurricane landfalls, but within the resolution of the available data, our evidence does not support the presence of significant long-period global or individual basin linear trends for minor, major, or total hurricanes within the period(s) covered by the available quality data.
Actually to be honest global warming is man-made. While the Earth isn't warming an the theory and the scare about global warming is entirely man-made.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Traffic cameras will actually be the source of traffic Friday.The Georgia Department of Transportation announced the cameras on Interstate 85 near Pleasant Hill Road, which help officials and commuters monitor traffic, have to come down for the reconstruction of the interchange with Ga. Highway 316. On Friday, crews will close lanes in both directions of the interstate in order to remove the cameras, and on Monday to remove the poles. The schedule is to close the outside northbound lane from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then close the southbound outside lane from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. If weather permits, the removal will continue on Monday. The outside northbound lane will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon; then the outside southbound lane will be closed from noon to 4 p.m. Late night work is also planned for Monday on I-85 southbound from Boggs Road to Pleasant Hill Road. The inside lane will be closed from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. to install a temporary barrier wall along the inside shoulder. Work will shift at 11 p.m., closing the outside lane until 5 a.m. Tuesday for a temporary barrier wall to be installed along the outside shoulder from north of Ga. 316 to Pleasant Hill Road.

But the most egregious windfall was the $400 million gain racked up by Third Point Capital.
The bad-boy tennis star, now 60, lets us know that most of the stories of his egregious behavior are true.
On Meet the Press, the bank's CEO admitted his company's "egregious" mistake and expressed his desire to clear up any wrongdoing.
1530s, "distinguished, eminent, excellent," from Latin egregius "distinguished, excellent, extraordinary," from the phrase ex grege "rising above the flock," from ex "out of" (see ex-) + grege, ablative of grex "herd, flock" (see gregarious).
Disapproving sense, now predominant, arose late 16c., originally ironic and is not in the Latin word, which etymologically means simply "exceptional." Related: Egregiously; egregiousness.

PHILADELPHIA, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- With yet another tragedy in the headlines, Pennsylvania residents can wait no longer for strong regulations to protect residents of our state's assisted living facilities.
Such regulations would prevent outrageous and dangerous practices such as those that forced the Department of Public Welfare to close the Cambridge Brightfield assisted living facility.
Earlier this month, an aide at the center in Hatfield, PA., was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in the death of a 79-year-old resident, Ronald Myers, there last October 9.

Rare Key Issue in High Grade
This impressive Select specimen has the soft, frosted luster expected of Uncirculated survivors and displays blushes of reddish patina over both sides in addition to a hint of pastel-gold at the margins. Surface marks are generally modest, with several abrasions that are confined mostly to the right obverse field. A short contact mark on the ray below the olive branch could serve as a pedigree marker. Overall eye appeal is outstanding. An important offering for the quality-conscious 20th century gold specialist. Population: 11 in 63, 17 finer (11/11).
