Crimson Shadows Announces U.S. Shows
The 2013 International Wacken Battle champions from Crimson Shadows are currently forging through the frozen reaches of their homeland of Canada and will voyage onward into the USA to slay the west coast with Nekrogoblikon in August.
This is the band's first U.S. tour since the release of Napalm Records debut "Kings Among Men" (reviewed here) in the fall of 2014.
The power/melodic death band from Toronto had this to say: "We are extremely excited to do our first American tour with our mates in Nekrogoblikon. With an alliance forged between Vikings and Goblins, this tour will be the most epic invasion the west coast has ever seen!" More...
Armstrong Metal Fest Announces Lineup
It's now less than a month until Armstrong Metalfest flings its doors open to the gathering masses, welcoming in another round of Canada's long running camping festival.
Co-founder Jesse Valstar comments: "Bretton [Melanson, the other co-founder] and I started this when we were 19, and it was a large undertaking. Now we're 26 and it's grown beyond us! But now we have the necessary reputation to put on a hell of a show."
And what a show it is: 36 bands in two days, topped off with Californian deathgrind stars Cattle Decapitation and Canada's own extreme metallers Anciients. The rest of the bill is a feast of Canadian and U.S. metal, from the vicious deathcore leanings of Angelmaker to the technical heavy metal leanings in Caveat, the power-infused melodeath of the hotly-tipped Crimson Shadows to the blackened death metal roar of Xul.
As well as a stellar lineup, there's plenty of other forms of entertainment to keep a metalhead amused. Not least, AMF have announced a full-sized wrestling ring, kindly provided by BC's very own Thrash Wrestling, which will stage a 2-hour show, the winner receiving a custom-made AMF Championship belt. There's also a farmer's market on the Saturday, "perfect to get blueberries for a hangover," quips Valstar, and a long-standing tradition of a Beer Helmet March, where the creator of the most inventive beer case helmet gets two free passes for the next year. Random participants also get merch donated kindly from various bands of the festival, so it can pay off to slap a beercase over your head and walk.
Armstrong Metalfest runs from July 17th - 18th. You can pick up tickets right here. The finalized lineup is as follows: More...

Killitorous Has Equipment Stolen On Tour
Killitorous has issued the following statement about having equipment stolen while out on tour:
"Yesterday, on the Kings of Chaos tour, Killitorous along with Crimson Shadows van's got broken into in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They stole thousands of dollars of Killitorous gear and personal items as well as damaging both of the bands vans. It was the last day of the tour.
"According to the police who filed the report with the bands management, this happens everyday to people in Montreal (20-25 people DAILY), and ESPECIALLY to bands with license plates not from the province of Quebec. Shocking amounts of bands have been robbed and ripped off in Montreal when leaving their vans un-attended.
"We ourselves have heard so many horror stories, and have had a ton of friends in bands who have ALSO been robbed in Montreal and to be honest, the police were not very helpful in helping to find any suspect (they more so felt like insurance men handing us forms). We send out a warning to all bands touring in Canada: NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR VAN ALONE IN MONTREAL... which sucks so much because it is one of the best places for bands to play in the whole country.
"But they get shit on like this while they are playing... in some cases literally (like ours). Having had a completely successful tour be ruined by someone who has NOTHING to do with our band, business or work ethic hurts us in ways we cannot explain. All the hard work, destroyed by a complete stranger.
"It makes one of the most difficult things you can do (touring in an underground death metal band) feel a million times more impossible. We only have one thing to say to the motherfucker who does not know us, but destroyed all our hard work, the motherfucker who ruined a completely successful tour: You can never stop us. Thanks for encouraging us by any way possible. Buy our merch, come to our next shows, spread the word! You guys are the best!" More...

Crimson Shadows has launched an Indiegogo campaign in advance of its fall tour with Alestorm. The band has commented upon it below.
"In September, we will be embarking on our first ever European tour, supporting Alestorm, and will be the most important tour we've ever embarked upon as it will launch us as a band on the continent of Europe only a week after our album is released.
"In preparation for this tour, we planned a N. American tour with our brothers in Battlecross this month to raise the money to meet expenses that we will incur on our tour to Europe. Unfortunately, we were denied entry to the United States on June 22nd in N. Dakota, on our way to our first US Headlining show, EVER in La Crosse, Wisconsin. We wont let this stop us!
"If our Indiegogo campaign is successful with your support, our fiercest and most heroic fans will be responsible for developing Crimson Shadows around the world.

Pit Stories: Cpl. McTrailerpark Shuts Down A Fest
Get a bunch of amped up metal heads into an enclosed space and shenanigans are bound to happen, but add alcohol to the mix and you've got a recipe for pit craziness.
For this week's look at Pit Stories from metal bands across the globe, Crimson Shadows bassist Morgan Rider shares this tale of a festival getting shut down when the crowd turns on an unruly fan:
I have been playing shows the entirety of my adult and teenage life. I have seen just about as much crazy shit at concerts I have attended as the next guy has too. But actually PLAYING the show gives you that vantage point on the crowd and the pit that being a part of the crowd does not provide. Above all, some of the most insane crowds I have ever seen have been in our home country of Canada. I don't know if it's in the water or the poutine, but I personally think it may be the fact that Canada is one of the less-hit markets in the world for metal. The crowds here NEED their fix of metal!
One instance I can recall comes from another band I play in. We were playing an outdoor festival in Ontario right next to the lake and we were one of maybe 10-12 bands. I remember vaguely as we were gearing up to step up on stage, a roamer happened into our backstage area and started to harass our guitar player at the time that we had better play Lynyrd Skynyrd or Pink Floyd or he'd stab us in the throat or something to that degree. We told him to fuck off so we could get ready to play. And yes, this is the part where he losses his shit and attacks our guitarist who he was previously harassing. The quick tussle ended up in them both being bloody-nosed, bruised and covered in dirt, but otherwise OK! We kicked the random guy out of the backstage area and we moved onto the stage to perform. We didn't really hear him shouting at us about how he was going to round up his boys and come back for us though. Onward the show!
And this is where it gets interesting. We were maybe 3-4 songs into our set; we were enjoying the awesomely large-ish and crazy crowd, the cold Canadian beer and the feel of the breeze coming off the lake when Cpl. McTrailerpark and Company come drunkenly stumbling up into the festival grounds. I guess the guy originally did not realize we were the next performing band, so he went straight for the first long-haired and bearded fellow he happened across and a fight broke out immediately. Of course, we saw everything that was going on, so we shouted at someone to break the fight up before it got even further out of control. Now I have never seen this happen, except if a soccer team loses in Brazil or a bunch of fans streak across a football stadium, but the ENTIRE crowd B-lined and went straight for the guy and his buddies!
The whole crowd swarmed these guys and totally gang-beat them. Of course we did not stop playing. Within 5 minutes, ambulances, police cars and a paddy wagon all arrived with an even larger crowd of on-lookers. Eventually, the police came on stage and stopped us from playing and stopped the entire festival.More...

They are not similar, with the exception of listiterator and tupleiterator. This implementation is not well tested (but the code doesn't do much, so I can't imagine what I got wrong). I made a few decisions that I'm not sure about, but they are performance not functionality or correctness related (I think). * dictionary-iterator makes a list copy of the rest of the iteration because it's not possible to determine if it was iter(keys|values|items) b/c they're pointers to static functions with no symbols. When reduced, it looks like a PySeqIter_Type starting at 0 with a list. * listiterator makes a slice of the list. When reduced, it looks like a PySeqIter_Type starting at 0 with a list. * tupleiterator makes a slice of the tuple. When reduced, it looks like a PySeqIter_Type starting at 0 with a tuple. * I had a hard time getting at some of the types (they are private..) so I had to create the host object, then make it iter, and snag the type off of them. In any case, patch is attached. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

"Climate Change Denial and The Misrepresentation of Climate Science Speaker: Dr Andrew Glikson 12.30 pm 14 December 2010. Hedley Bull Lecture Theatre 1"Actually that sounds like a precis of these past 82 pages.Ask him to come down to Melbourne!
"If "the stark change in rain and weather patterns in south-west WA" is climate change then so is the lack of warming for 15 years.Capiche?"Problem is that the drying trend has been going on since the 1960s, so by the CSIRO's measure it is climate, not weather. And the drop in rainfall is directly linked to CO2 levels. To quote: "CSIRO's Dr Wenju Cai says, 'The southern annular mode or the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) is an index of air pressure difference at sea level between mid latitude (40 °S) and high latitude (65 °S). In our greenhouse warming experiments, we found that if there is increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the AAO rises and there is a corresponding decline in rainfall in south-west Western Australia (WA).''What we have also found is that this drying trend can indeed be gradually reversed if CO2 stabilisation is achieved,' says Dr Cai.'While this is desirable, it has to be remembered that our models predict that it will take a period of some five hundred years to recover' he stated."No probs, if we manage to reverse man-made CO2 levels in the atmosphere everything should be right in about 500 years. Of course, if we don't fix it then things just get worse. I suspect things are going to get worse.I was curious about "capiche", because I know it's supposedly Italian but no Italians I know use it. Wikipedia says: "From Italian capisce, third person present tense form of capire "to understand", from Latin capere "to grasp, seize". Related to capture."capisce" is a dialectal form of italian "capisci" second person present tense.Often used in a threatening manner, suggesting the Italian Mafia."
Tom Says:"I feel a deep sadness for my own species which comes from the realization that if ever a species had it made, it was us. And we've blown it."[Donald Sutherland voice]Don't hit me with the negative waves.[/Donald Sutherland voice]Don't despair Tom, Nature is on our side. Cancun has had record low temperatures for the last three days.Despite alarmist rants from people like Dr Andrew Glikson(Extreme weather events around the globe: manifestations of runaway climate change)It's just weather. These climate liars want you to feel despairing. You are more easily manipulated that way.Glikson holds up the Russian heatwave this year as an example of "runaway climate change" in action. Lets do a quick reality check by looking at a Russian Historical document: The Novgorod Chronicle:"1298: There was a wholesale death of animals. In the same year there was a drought, and the woods and peat bogs burnt.1364: Halfway through summer there was a complete smoke haze, the heat was dreadful, the forests, bogs and earth were burning, rivers dried up. The same thing happened the following year . . .1431: following a blotting out of the sky, and pillars of fire, there was a drought – "the earth and the bogs smouldered, there was no clear sky for 6 weeks, nobody saw the sun, fishes, animals and birds died of the smoke.1735: Empress Anna wrote to General Ushakov: "Andrei Ivanovich, here in St Petersburg it is so smoky that one cannot open the windows, and all because, just like last year, the forests are burning. We are surprised that no-one has thought about how to stem the fires, which are burning for the second year in a row".1831: Summer was unbearably hot, and as a consequence of numerous fires in the forests, there was a constant haze of smoke in the air, through which the sun appeared a red hot ball; the smell of burning was so strong, that it was difficult to breathe.The years of 1839-1841 were known as the "hungry years". In the spring of 1840, the spring sowings of corn disappeared in many places. From midway through April until the end of August not a drop of rain fell. From the beginning of summer the fields were covered with a dirty grey film of dust. All the plants wilted, dying from the heat and lack of water. It was extraordinarily hot and close, even though the sun, being covered in haze, shone very weakly through the haze of smoke. Here and there in various regions of Russia the forests and peat bogs were burning (the firest had begun already in 1839). there was a reddish haze, partially covering the sun, and there were dark, menacing clouds on the horizon. There was a choking stench of smoke which penetrated everywhere, even into houses where the windows remained closed.1868: the weather was murderous. It rained once during the summer. There was a drought. The sun, like a red hot cinder, glowed through the clouds of smoke from the peat bogs. Near Peterhoff the forests and peat workings burnt, and troops dug trenches and flooded the subterranean fire. It was 40 centigrade in the open, and 28 in the shade.1868: a prolonged drought in the northern regions was accompanied by devastating fires in various regions. Apart from the cities and villages affected by this catastrophe, the forests, peat workings and dried-up marshes were burning. In St Petersburg region smoke filled the city and its outlying districts for several weeks.1875: While in western europe there is continual rain and they complain about the cold summer, here in Russia there is a terrible drought. In southern Russia all the cereal and fruit crops have died, and around St Petersburg the forest fires are such that in the city itself, especially in the evening, there is a thick haze of smoke and a smell of burning. Yesterday, the burning woods and peat bogs threatened the ammunitiion stores of the artillery range and even Okhtensk gunpowder factory.1885: (in a letter from Peter Tchaikovsky, composer): I'm writing to you at three oclock in the afternoon in such darkness, you would think it was nine oclock at night. For several days, the horizon has been enveloped in a smoke haze, arising, they say, from fires in the forest and peat bogs. Visibility is diminishing by the day, and I'm starting to fear that we might even die of suffocation.1917 (diary of Aleksandr Blok, poet): There is a smell of burning, as it seems, all around the city peat bogs, undergrowth and trees are burning. And no-one can extinguish it. That will be done only by rain and the winter. Yellowish-brown clouds of smoke envelope the villages, wide swaithes of undergrowth are burning, and God sends no rain, and what wheat there is in the fields is burning."2010 Dr Andrew Glikson: The sky is falling! The Sky is Falling!
Arapiles says:Problem is that the drying trend has been going on since the 1960s."CSIRO's Dr Wenju Cai says, 'The southern annular mode or the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) is an index of air pressure difference at sea level between mid latitude (40 °S) and high latitude (65 °S). In our greenhouse warming experiments, we found that if there is increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the AAO rises and there is a corresponding decline in rainfall in south-west Western Australia (WA).'The computer climate models built by the climate catastrophists predict that extra co2 will cause an increase in water vapour. Indeed, they programmed that in as a parameter, because water vapour is twenty times stronger than co2 as a greenhouse gas, and without a positive feedback, the world ain't gonna warm by co2 alone.However, the radiosonde data from weather balloons since 1948 shows a drop in specific humidity at higher levels in the atmosphere, exactly where it would have to be increasing for the models to be correct. This is why the predicted 'hotspot' over the tropics hasn't been observed.Some of the newer satellite data seems to show an increase in water vapour, and there is a bit of a data controversy going on.What I discovered, is that the level of water vapour in the upper atmosphere does not have anything to do with carbon dioxide levels at all, but dances to the beat of a different drum; The solar activity level, which has been gently falling since the '60s until crashing recently.Now CSIRO say they have been conducting 'experiments', but they haven't. They've been playing with their computer models and finding what they think are correlations between the Antarctic Oscillation and co2 levels.Time will tell.

"I mean all you leftwingers""Which raises a question I've asked repeatedly: why do you think climate change is a left-wing issue?"I think it raises an even more important question, what does climate change have to do with hockey?
"Soccer moms being just an example of how people make a collective problem an individual one and put unjustified blame on the powerless to do something that only those in power can do. This just creates class warfare and partisanship and does nothing to address the cause."This illustrates two things to me. The first, as I mentioned before, is that human nature, as it has been for most all of humanity, is to only really care about the immediate clan, which now-a-days is the immediate family. Thinking globally is still not an easy thing for most of us to do in any way to do except in a theoretical way. Acting globally is certainly outside of our hard-wiring and takes a huge amount of higher mental awareness and compassion. Once this awareness and willingness to at lesat "think" globally is triggered, then other things can fall into place, like car-pooling so, for instance, soccer moms takes turns shuttling the kids to soccer, or a group of families invest in ONE SUV for this purpose, or communities invest in a light rail system designed around getting people to work, play or whatever even in snow storms (just look to places like Scandinavia where they bike to work even in winter, and have comprehensive rail systems in place). These are not insurmountable problems, these are not even tough problems once families and communities decide they are worth investing in. The hard part is making the decision to invest in them in the first place. This is where the whole mantra of "Think Globally, Act Locally" comes into play. It is a small step, but it is in the right direction, and it is 'right' even if you take global warming considerations out of the equation IMHO.
"I think it raises an even more important question, what does climate change have to do with hockey?"I would think that even a simple-minded warmist-alarmist simpleton like you would be able to ascertain that a left-winger, even one of smaller stature, would start to sink (and thus lose one's wrist-shot) once the ice (it's frozen water, warmist/simpleton!) begins to melt due to the global conspiracy/natural warming trend/sunspot cycle/new world order manifesto publication/etc.It's suprising I even waste my precious time on you all. I could be publishing my ground-breaking, revolutionary research instead. If the powers that be would stop supressing it and making every effort to destroy the truth that is out there if you would only open your eyes.(Returns to child's wading pool, cling film, smudgepot, and plastic brontosaur figurine, après crumpet break.)
It's even simpler. Just take up field hockey. If you can find enough dry ground after all the rises in sea level to play on, you don't have to worry about finding enough ice to play ice hockey on, but can still use a hockey stick!
"I would think that even a simple-minded warmist-alarmist simpleton like you would be able to ascertain that a left-winger, even one of smaller stature, would start to sink (and thus lose one's wrist-shot) once the ice (it's frozen water, warmist/simpleton!) begins to melt due to the global conspiracy/natural warming trend/sunspot cycle/new world order manifesto publication/etc."[slaps hand to forehead and does me best Homer impersonation]Doh! Of course! It has everything to do with hockey! Thanks Dave T! [swoons in admiration, but only slightly because, you know, don't want to get in to the whole Gay thing just yet, saving that for forum page 91);-)
"Don't despair Tom, Nature is on our side. Cancun has had record low temperatures for the last three days."Three whole days! Consecutive? I just knew them commie pinko Warmista were up to no good. Thanks Rog, I feel much better now. Except for a nagging worry about those alarmist phytoplankton and deforestation articles. You don't suppose those guys are in cahoots with the Warmista, now, do you?

Tom;The plural of Warmist is warmista, it's a collective noun.Capishe? :-)I was discussing phytoplankton with a marine biologist Julian Flood just this evening. Basically, he was saying there is a lot of uncertainty, not only about the cause of the reduction in phytoplankton (He suspects oil films) but about the effect of reduced phytoplankton on the D13(heavy)/D12(light) carbon isotope ratios, which are use to gauge the anthropogenic contribution to atmospheric co2 levels via fossil fuel burning. here's what he had to say after quoting the abstract below:"Volcanic ash fuels anomalous plankton bloom in subarctic northeast PacificHamme, Roberta C.; Webley, Peter W.; Crawford, William R.; Whitney, Frank A.; DeGrandpre, Michael D.; Emerson, Steven R.; Eriksen, Charles C.; Giesbrecht, Karina E.; Gower, Jim F. R.; Kavanaugh, Maria T.; Peña, M. Angelica; Sabine, Christopher L.; Batten, Sonia D.; Coogan, Laurence A.; Grundle, Damian S.; Lockwood, DeirdreGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 37, Issue 19, CiteID L19604quoteUsing multiple lines of evidence, we demonstrate that volcanic ash deposition in August 2008 initiated one of the largest phytoplankton blooms observed in the subarctic North Pacific. Unusually widespread transport from a volcanic eruption in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska deposited ash over much of the subarctic NE Pacific, followed by large increases in satellite chlorophyll. Surface ocean pCO2, pH, and fluorescence reveal that the bloom started a few days after ashfall. Ship-based measurements showed increased dominance by diatoms. This evidence points toward fertilization of this normally iron-limited region by ash, a relatively new mechanism proposed for iron supply to the ocean. The observations do not support other possible mechanisms. Extrapolation of the pCO2 data to the area of the bloom suggests a modest ∼0.01 Pg carbon export from this event, implying that even large-scale iron fertilization at an optimum time of year is not very efficient at sequestering atmospheric CO2.unquoteI would add 'in a region not deficient or limited in dissolved silica' to that last line. AFAIK the usual limit on diatoms is dissolved silica for their shells, and given enough silica, diatoms will out-compete calcareous phytos. It would be instructive to see if the silica-feeding leg of my case above stands up to reality.One thing is resolved: diatoms pump down unexpectedly small amounts of CO2. If they actually are replacing calcareous phytos because of our silica export from the land, then the export of 12C to the deep ocean will be reduced (assuming that calcareous phytos do not exhibit the same unexpectedly small pull-down) and a light carbon isotope signal will be left in the atmosphere — and, of course, the amount of atmospheric CO2 in total will rise. Light signal, more CO2, must be anthropogenic. Or not.Agriculture causes run-off, dust deposition, which, presumably leads to silica increase. Diatoms win in a competition with calcareous phytos as long as there is enough silica. The paper certainly shows that diatoms don't cause much of a CO2 pull-down. Have we increased the diatom population as well as knocking back the other phytos by stratification nutrient depletion? I don't know. It's a nice economical explanation, light isotope signal and CO2 increase in one tidy package.We got better (better in the sense that we made a bigger impact) at agriculture before the good men of Ironbridge began to make the iron wheels hum, so one would expect something to show somewhere in the climate record. This paper hints at where to look.Handwave, handwave, I know. Does a calcareous phyto bloom pull down light carbon? Until we find that out it's just handwave."As for deforestation, well there's only so much I can do. ;-)
"The plural of Warmist is warmista, it's a collective noun.Capishe? :-)"Ahhh. Thank you, Rog. In my ignorance, I thought you had made the word up.As for the rest of your post, there was precious little to alleviate my concern about diminished production of atmospheric O2 as a result of phytoplankton die off, likely due to human activities, as even Mr. Flood suspects. I would hate to depend on the vagaries of volcanic eruptions that stimulate occasional blooms of phytoplankton to maintain our supply of atmospheric O2. Or have I missed something?

There are answers to this thread is in that piece. You'll see.

Those that don't get 'Capishe?' obviously have never lived in NYCGet outta heah
"Those that don't get 'Capishe?' obviously have never lived in NYCGet outta heah"What can I say? I've spent all my time in Carlton and the Veneto.
"The plural of Warmist is warmista, it's a collective noun.Capishe? :-)"Ahhh. Thank you, Rog. In my ignorance, I thought you had made the word up.I did. That's why I'm touchy about its correct usage. ;-)I would hate to depend on the vagaries of volcanic eruptions that stimulate occasional blooms of phytoplankton to maintain our supply of atmospheric O2. Or have I missed something?The rapidity of the bloom after the volcanic explosion shows a couple of things.1) There is a healthy population ready for action.2) That population is limited by iron shortage, and volcanic activity is a primary source.We've been going through a relatively quiet time for volcanic activity over the last century. There tend to be more of them going pop when solar activity is low. The sun has gone into funk as it does every ~180 years or so. Solar activity levels are likely to be very low for at least the next 20 years. Expect some volcanic activity increase. Katla will make a mess of northern hemisphere flight plans when it blows sometime in the next 15 years, and will no doubt be good news for plankton.Regarding atmospheric levels of oxygen. At the Puy de Dome measuring station (~1400m)the rate of CO2 increase shifted up from 1.08 ppm (parts per million) for the years 2001-2002 to 2.41 ppm/y for 2003-2006; while the increase in D(O2/N2) and APO (measures of oxygen concentration, see Box 1) shifted downwards to greater extents from –2.4 ppm/y and -1.5 ppm/y to -9.5 ppm/y and -6.9 ppm/y respectively.Oxygen is ~21% of the atmosphere, whereas co2 is only 0.039%. So there is ~500 times more oxygen in the atmosphere than there is co2. This means that while co2 has gone up ~0.5% in 2006, oxygen fell only ~0.005% Oxygen would need to drop 1000 times more than that for it to be a problem.The earth switched over to an oxygen rich atmosphere around 2.5 billion years ago, and has been through a lot more problematic climate changes than 1.5F in 110 years without suffocating life in the past. Try not to worry too much.Cheers.
"Try not to worry too much."In the event, I am not concerned about asphyxiating in my sleep, Rog. It is more of a long term issue, and there does seem to be some concern among some marine biologists about Ph becoming a more serious limiting factor if present trends continue. I will confess at this point that I am not quite as dismissive as you of the general literature, as well as the opinions of one friend who is scientifically very knowledgable and well connected to some pretty competent oceanographers at the University of Washington. They have a number of concerns regarding climate change/health of the oceans, and Ph is one of them. "1) There is a healthy population ready for action.2) That population is limited by iron shortage, and volcanic activity is a primary source."In one location, or are you making a general statement here?"This means that while co2 has gone up ~0.5% in 2006, oxygen fell only ~0.005%"Over a period of what, 5 years? That is not a very long time, is it? What happens if Ph continues to drop as CO2 continues to increase and at some point falls below the level at which phytoplankton can survive? At that point, O2 production could well fall off at much more rapid rate than .005%/5 years as a result of a massive phytoplankton die off. "Oxygen would need to drop 1000 times more than that for it to be a problem."Are you saying it would take a 5% drop in O2 before life on earth began to experience problems? If so, on what do you base this particular number? I'm genuinely curious. Is 16% a survivable percentage of O2 in earth's atmosphere for all aerocic life? 15%? 14%? Where is the limit? Is there even a single limit above which all aerobic organisms live and below which they perish? Or do some organisms begin dieing off at, say, 19% and so on?

Tom,Changes of PH in the ocean are so small they can't be directly measured. Ask your oceanographer friends. Again, the people working on this stuff are relying on computer models, which means any prediction of the future is worthless, because of the uncertainty involved.Oxygen levels have tiny fluctuations, but the Earth has 2.5 billion years worth of evolutionary development which deals with changes in climate and atmospheric makeup. 500 million years ago the atmospheric level of co2 was ~8000ppm. That is twenty times higher than today. Was life suffocated? No. In fact there was a massive increase in lifeforms known as the Permian explosion. As I said, volcanic activity has been generally low for 100 years. Volcanic ash doesn't just dump iron into oceans. They also emit enormous quantities of sulphur dioxide, which rains out into the oceans as sulphuric acid. There are other natural processes like calcifying deposition, huge in scale, which make the ocean more alkaline. In the midst of these huge natural cycles, human emissions (and don't forget we are 'natural' too) are just another part of the ongoing evolution of our planet.Anthropogenic 'ocean acidification' is just another scare being foisted onto us to draw attention away from the failing Anthropogenic Global Warming hypothesis which Nature is currently mocking. New evidence is showing that corals adapt remarkably quickly to changing ocean ph. I'll dig out the references if I find time.2006 was an exceptional year for the oxygen level drop, and extrapolating a trend from 2002 through 2006 to the future and attributing it to humans is just daft. Statistics can be used to bamboozle the public, but climatologically speaking, since it's generally recognized that 30 years is the minimum before trends are considered meaningful (should be 60 really - the length of the major oceanic cycles), we should look at the longer term dataset as it develops. It's barely 20 years old.One factor which should be considered is that oxygen is more soluble in cooler water, and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation turned negative in 2005. According to the ARGO network of 3000 diving Buoys worldwide, the global ocean heat content has been slowly dropping since 2003.If you are sufficiently interested, read this page, and then the comments from Ken Griffith near the bottom, which go unanswered...http://www.i-sis.org.uk/O2DroppingFasterThanCO2Rising.phpThis might give you a hint regarding the variable quality of "the general literature".

Judith Curry is one of the world's top climate scientists, and her testimony to the house caused a stir. Now the house sub-committee has come up with some very searching questions for those who testified. 1. It is clear from your public statements that you generally agree with the mainstream view of global warming and cannot easily be characterized as a climate change "denier" or "skeptic." Nonetheless, you have been quite critical of the process under which climate sciene is conducted, saying that "it is difficult to understand the continued circling of the wagons by some climate researchers with guns pointed at skeptical researchers by apparently trying to withhold data and other information of relevance to published research, thward the peer review process, and keep papers out of assessment reports."a. Why are so many scientists "pointing their guns" at skeptics when sharing data and embrcing debate seems to be an obvious way for scientists to increase the credibility of their arguments and influence public debate?b. Given the potentially enormous influence of climate science on economic and environmental policy – which ultimately boils down to jobs, shouldn't it be held to a higher standard in the public debate? For example, should Congress consider blocking funding for researchers that do not make their data and materials available for public scrutiny?c. Should such research be excluded from use in policy debates and scientific assessments such as those by the National Academies or IPCC?2. You state in your testimony that the conflict regarding the theory of anthropogenic climate change is over the level of our ignorance regarding what is unknown about natural climate variability. For a long time, the scientific community did not consider uncertainty a bad thing. In fact, the word "certainty" was something that was almost never used (you are not certain the sun will rise tomorrow morning, but you are reasonably sure that it is very likely to occur.)a. At what point did uncertainty become a bad thing in the climate community?b. How did this shift within the scientific community occur? How does it shift back?c. Are there any efforts within the scientific community to self-correct this paradigm shift? If there is not, what does this mean for the decision-makers needing objective and unbiased scientific information to inform their policies?3. Do you believe the current IPCC processes are working? If so, why? If not, what specific actions can be taken to repair them, and in the meantime, why should the product of a process that isn't working be relied upon as the basis for policy actions that would impose enormous costs on the United States economy?Here is her reply:http://judithcurry.com/2010/12/09/testimony-followup-part-ii/It's too long to quote here, but everyone should read it in full. My favorite quote is:"A top priority for research funding should be exploring the significance and characteristics of uncertainty across the range of climate science, not only the climate models themselves, but also solar forcing, surface temperature datasets, natural internal modes of climate variability, etc. "At last!

Pathogen Extinction in Stochastic Models of Epidemics and Viral Dynamics
Linda Allen (October 24, 2011)
Please install the Flash Plugin
In deterministic epidemic models, pathogen extinction in a population is determined by the magnitude of the basic reproduction number R0. In stochastic epidemic models, the probability of pathogen extinction depends on R0, the size of the population and the number of infectious individuals. For example, in the SIS Markov chain epidemic model, if the basic reproduction number R0>1, the population size is large and I(0)=a is small, then a classic result of Whittle (1955) gives an approximation to the probability of pathogen extinction: (1/R0)a. This classic result can be derived from branching process theory. We apply results from multitype Markov branching process theory to generalize this approximation for probability of pathogen extinction to more complex epidemic models with multiple stages, treatment , or multiple populations and to within host models of virus and cell dynamics.

The Magazine
Blaming the Jews
Do we face a new anti-Semitism, or the return of the old anti-Semitism?
May 10, 2004, Vol. 9, No. 33 • By WERNER J. DANNHAUSER
Never Again?
The Return of Anti-Semitism
KEEPING TRACK of anti-Semitism is steady work. The next instance is always lurking in the wings--and those who point it out will always seem to be exaggerating and making matters worse by playing into the hands of "real" anti-Semites. Yet the people who worry about anti-Semitism know a big thing: Anti-Semitism thrives on denial. The work of those who keep track of it is therefore not only steady but mandatory, and both Abraham Foxman's Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism and Gabriel Schoenfeld's The Return of Anti-Semitism are worthy endeavors.
The books could hardly help overlapping. Each offers a diagnosis of the alarming increase of anti-Semitism since the end of World War II, and each surveys the current scene. To a great extent they feature the same cast: One can't write such a book without referring to Arafat in the Middle East, Jörg Haider in Austria, Louis Farrakhan in the United States, and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion just about everywhere--but especially in Arab countries.
What is more, both books agree on a wide array of facts and assessments: that anti-Semitism was given a bad name, as it were, by Hitler and therefore went into a lull after the Nazis' defeat, for example. But it did not vanish, and all the signs point to a continuing upsurge today. That upsurge received a boost by the onset of the second round of the intifada in Israel in 2000. Today's anti-Semitism may not be identical with anti-Zionism, but it is inseparably linked to it--and, because of the situation in the Middle East, it is on the verge of becoming indistinguishable from it. This calls for alarm, especially since even the United States, historically blessed by the unparalleled weakness of anti-Semitism within its borders, today shows signs of a spreading infection of the disease.
DOES ALL THIS MEAN that one can speak of a new anti-Semitism? On this point the authors disagree. Foxman refers to the "new anti-Semitism" in his subtitle; Schoenfeld speaks of the "return of anti-Semitism." The difference is real. Abraham Foxman is the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, for which he has worked since 1965; in the public mind he is the Anti-Defamation League. Both he and his organization tend to view anti-Semitism as fundamentally a right-wing phenomenon.
Thus "the Right" appears in the title of two of his book's chapters, and Foxman repeatedly mentions Mel Gibson and his popular new movie, while Gabriel Schoenfeld mentions Gibson only in one footnote. Thus, too, Foxman is more concerned than Schoenfeld about breaches in the wall of separation between church and state--believing, with less than compelling evidence, that any breach is bad for the Jews (and the nation) and not acknowledging the complexity of the Constitution on this point.
Still, Foxman recognizes that the newness of the new anti-Semitism is in large part due to the great upsurge of left-wing hatred of the Jews. Anti-Semitism today has learned to speak in terms of Jewish racism and Jewish colonialism. As he puts it: "In today's new mutant strain of anti-Semitism, traditional elements of the extreme right and the extreme left are working together, often in concert with immigrants of Arab descent and terrorist organizations based in the Middle East."
The term "new anti-Semitism" may have the advantage of drawing attention to current misdeeds, but it has the disadvantage of tending to sever those crimes from the past and thereby make denial easier. Thus when young thugs in France desecrate cemeteries and burn synagogues they can be reprimanded for their "misguided" acts instead of being charged with murderous hatred of Jews. Schoenfeld does not fall into this trap, although he does not at all deny that there is something new in the air. Indeed, at one point he speaks of "an unexpected twist in the helix of anti-Semitism's DNA."

Baseball The Tenth Inning: About the Film | PBS
MLB – Sporting News
I've tried writing this post several times over the last five months or so. Sometimes there is so much to say, no mere words can do the subject justice. Somewhere along the line, somewhere between childhood and adulthood, I forgot what baseball once meant to me. I also forgot just how intertwined baseball is with some of my favorite childhood memories.
It all started with me getting the crazy idea that my baseball obsessed boyfriend Brian and I should watch the Ken Burns' documentary Baseball, all almost 20 hours of it. I checked it out from the library sometime early in September. Brian and I then spent the next couple of weeks watching the entire documentary, including great interviews with Bob Costas, Yogi Berra, and Rachel Robinson, the widow of Jackie Robinson, among others.
For me, the most memorable part of the series had to be the clip of Bob Costas discussing his first experience at Yankee Stadium with his father. As a young child, he was awed by the sheer size of the stadium and the size of the pitching mound. After the game, fans back then could cross the field to a second exit. As Bob Costas and his father crossed the field, he became very upset. He loved baseball so much that somewhere during his childhood he got the idea that Yankee greats such as Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were buried on the field. He didn't want to disturb what he believed to be their graves. The stories of baseball memories bringing together fathers and sons, as well as fathers and daughters, stayed with me.
I found myself asking why baseball is so different from football, hockey, or basketball. I'm not sure, but I do know this: there is something about baseball that transcends time. I have memories of watching the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 1997 with my Dad, as well as countless other games, but my most powerful memories all relate to baseball.
Many of my earliest memories of my Dad involve baseball. As a very young child, I remember watching the Detroit Tigers with my Dad and eating Schwann's black cherry ice cream. Somehow my Dad ended up attending one of the 1984 World Series games at Tiger Stadium. At that game he bought a signed baseball that sat on the roll-top desk in his office for years. In fact, it might still be there. I loved that baseball and thought that it was amazing that my Dad attended one of the World Series games. I also remember rummaging through the top drawer of my Dad's desk and coming across his father's Mason ring. In the eyes of a young girl, the Masonic symbol was a baseball diamond. Above all, there were the games.
Throughout my early childhood, my Dad, a former high school athlete who played football, basketball, and baseball, played on a men's softball team. As a preschooler, I loved watching my Dad play ball. I liked the entire experience. I was so proud to have my Dad out there in his lucky #3 baseball hat with his well-worn glove. I loved watching him bat.
Of course, it wasn't just about baseball. I also loved playing in the dirt next to the dugout, running around the poker straight pine trees behind the dugout, and playing with the old-fashioned water pump between the dugout and the pines. More than anything, I loved going to the bar with everyone after the games. As my Dad and his friends, along with their wives and girlfriends, drank pitchers of beer and talked, I played pinball, foosball, Pac Man, and enjoyed pop and chips. It is no wonder I could relate to adults well as a child. I spent a lot of time around adults and enjoyed every minute of it.
I also loved spending time at my Grandparents' house. A trip to my Dad's parent's home was never complete without spending time with their neighbor's son, Brian K. We were the same age and he happened to have something I wanted desperately as a child, a tree house! I vividly remember one afternoon spent playing in his tree house. His dog somehow came off his lead and I became scared as I really didn't know his dog. Brian K. told me to hang out in the tree house until he chained up the dog.
It was that day his Mom invited me to attend one of Brian K.'s Little League game with his family. In the eyes of six year-old, it was a very big deal. I felt honored to be setting on the sidelines cheering on Brian K. along with his parents. At the time, of course, I wanted to be out there on the field too. While I did play softball for one season at age 11, I am no athlete. My Grandpa R., who loved to watch me play, insisted he never saw anyone walk more than I did. As I've always been exceedingly short, no one ever learned how to pitch to me. Instead, I collected baseball cards.
I'm not exactly sure when and why I started collecting baseball cards, but my favorite will always be the Topps 1987 wood grain cards. They remind me of my Grandpa B. My maternal great-grandparents owned a cottage on Sage Lake in northern Michigan. I spent many summer weekends there with my parents, my sister, my grandparents, and most of my extended family. My Grandpa loved to get all of his grandkids, all girls at the time, in his station wagon to take them to the candy store. He'd let us pick out whatever we wanted. I picked out baseball cards to add to my collection, mainly '87 Topps. I still have my baseball card collection and fond memories of my Grandpa asking me if I was sure that is what I wanted.
I loved everything about collecting baseball cards. Organizing them by team, deciding which packs of cards to purchase, and looking up prices all were fun. It is fitting that I lost interest in collecting cards as I became a teenager. My last full set dates to the strike shortened 1994 season. Around that time I lost interest in baseball. Coincidentally, it is also the same year the local grocery store, my favorite place to purchase cards, closed.
Around that time my Dad took my little sister, my little brother, and me to a Tigers game at Tiger Stadium on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. That day happened to be Little League Day. My Dad knew this, so he had my sister wear her softball shirt, my brother his t-ball shirt and hat, and me my old softball shirt. As a result, we had the opportunity to go out onto the field before the game. I'll never forget looking back at the stands of old Tiger Stadium from the field. I'm grateful to my Dad for ensuring his kids had that experience. There is nothing better than going to a baseball game with your Dad. Having the opportunity to get out on the field of a historic stadium made it that much better.
Somehow I lost interest in the game, but it is still there, was always there, waiting to be rediscovered. While it was not our first date, Brian and I did go to a Lansing Lugnut's game at Oldsmobile Park in 2004. It happened to be Senior night for MSU students. We had a wonderful time. It should've been my first clue as to what extent baseball would play a role in our relationship.
Since we began dating in 2004, I attended his cousin's wedding at Comerica Park, the new home of the Tigers, an experience which deserves its own post; I endured the 2005 World Series win of the Chicago White Sox, Brian's favorite team; I suffered through the loss of a World Series with the Tigers in 2006; and each year, the baseball rivalries begin again. Brian's Mom, Cindy, roots for the New York Yankees because of Curtis Granderson. Brian roots for the Chicago White Sox for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, Brian's younger brother Todd and I root for the Tigers as proud Michiganders. Baseball season is never boring as long as Brian is in my life.
The Detroit Tigers all reported to spring training in Lakeland, Florida yesterday. I can't wait for the new season to begin! I may personally not know the stats week to week, but I do know who does. I hope Prince Fielder becomes an important part of the team. Here's to a great season for the Tigers! May they beat the White Sox and the Yankees always and forever.

text: Hi all, I have to look for a new job, and it's time to get clean. I'm a heavy user (5 days a week of generally crappy stuff), have an extremely high metabolism (I eat and eat and eat and eat and gain nothing), and I'm obviously now going to start abstaining from anything. I've read up on these boards, and I think I'm inclined to abstain for as long as I can and, if things come up, use the N2 dilution method. But since I have some time, I want to try to coax it along a bit just to make sure. That means I'm going to be exercising like a mo-fo up until the week of any possible test (seems to be a board-sanctioned method). I've also been reading up on one possible way to speed things up or help me out: activated charcoal. This is a method that a friend of a friend swears by, who is a heavy user. He apparently loads up on charcoal for a few days before, and the theory is that it lowers metabolite levels in the UI tract (i.e. lowers the thing they're testing for in the pee test). Rumor is that this gets him through his monthly testing, and that he smokes all the time. He's since moved to Africa, of course, and my actual friend has very little details other than the prescribed dosage and technique. I've read up on some past opinions from the board -- mainly skeptics who say that it's clearly designed to just prevent things in the stomach from being absorbed. But the NORML website mentions that it may, indeed, reduce the metabolite levels. Since I've got some time, maybe it's worth a shot? Unless some of you have tried it and it's useless. What are you takes? This stuff makes me completely nervous -- besides the smoking, I'm quite the law-abiding citizen. I normally smoke because I'm just a nervous person (I believe they call it self-medicating) and all of these thoughts get me all panicked and make me want to take a hit, as you can imagine

This year in keeping with our mission and vision "to follow Christ through the ministries of worship, education and service and to be a major Christian presence in the Highland Lakes area, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ"; we will be dedicating Friday, October 16 to outreach in a very different way. Different non-profit groups in Marble Falls will be given a number of envelopes filled with "Trinity Bucks" for clients to spend at Trinity on Friday, October 16. We have no idea who they will give these to but those receiving the "Trinity Bucks" will be the only people admitted to the sale on Friday.

Ministry and Outreach will be furnishing us a list of organizations for connection. Then on October 17th our sale will open to the public. Any questions may be directed to George or Penny Miller.

A wonderful day.
Ann has given us permission to reprint portions of her gardening journal which was originally published a number of years ago. They were later printed in The Trumpet (2011-2012) and are now included below.
Thank you Ann for sharing your thoughts with us. Click on each month to read the full article
I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses... And, He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own.
The wonderful lyrics sung so beautifully by Anne Murray describe the feelings I have as I go into my Herb Garden daily to meditate and pray.
In the beginning, God …
We are all so familiar with the book of Genesis and the story of how God first planted a garden and then created Adam and Eve to live within it, ideally in perfect harmony with all their surroundings. Truly, time did begin in a garden.
It is harvest time in the garden. Looking around we see the changing colors of leaves, the bright and beautiful colors of mums and asters, bright orange pumpkins, and baskets of cherry-red apples.
Colors! The warm colors of fall.
Have we spoiled Christmas? Maybe even lost it? Because we have forgotten the meaning of Advent - of the light that comes into dark-ness, of our need to repent and prepare ourselves to receive the true gift? Advent is a time to let our old, used-up, sinful selves die into the earth
Every branch in me that bears fruit the Father prunes – that it may bear more fruit.
The Gospel of John teaches us a lesson about pruning, which comes in handy this time of year. The dormant winter months of January and February find me out in the garden pruning trees.
February - Love and Stuff
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another… If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
Love. What is this thing called love and what does it mean to us?
As a very young girl, I remember singing a song that contained the lyrics, …and they will know we are Christians by our love.
Horton Hatches an Egg
So Horton kept sitting there, day after day
And soon it was autumn - the leaves blew away.
And then came the winter - the snow and the sleet!
And icicles hung from his trunk and his feet.
But Horton kept sitting, and said with a sneeze,
I'll stay on this egg and I won't let it freeze!
In the eighth chapter of Romans we read ~
For I am persuaded that
neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor things present
nor things to come, nor any other created things
shall be able to separate us from the love of God.
"It is finished."
With the death and resurrection of our Lord at Eastertide, we read those words from the Gospel.
And so it is with our journey through my garden - finished.
Thank you for joining me on our walk of faith through my spiritual garden.

"Women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church." (1 Cor 14:34-35)
Also: "Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or have authority over a man; she is to keep silent." (1 Tim 2"11-12)
Paul, at best, contradicts himself and seems to renege on his agreement that all will be one in Christ;
male and female. Taken literally, Paul could be guilty of hypocrisy and misogyny...

In the fall of 2004 I began taking classes at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. It was a rich experience and one that I would like to share with you in greater detail if space permitted. I will tell you of one incident that I found amazing...
Click here to read more.
Calvinistic denominations are big on "The Call:" the call to faith and the call to Christian ministry. While I was at Presbyterian Seminary, that subject was discussed briefly: where were you or what were you doing when you heard the Call? Was it a "road to Damascus" cataclysmic event or that insistent "wee small voice?" There was an embarrassing silence. A couple of students offered brief testimonies but the vast majority remained quiet. Some things are just too deeply personal to discuss in open forum; even among your fellow saints!

Dr. Cindy Rigby is Professor of Theology at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Her definition
of theology is: "What we can say about God." We all have a 'personal theology,' which is what we, as
individuals, think about God. We never share those deeply personal thoughts with others; not even our
best friends, because we might expose some ancient heresy or voice a new one. Priests and Pastors
preach and teach within the constraints of orthodoxy bounded by church tradition. Doctrine, dogma and
creeds must be observed.

We all have a personal theology. I am also sure that each of us has a personal space or place where we feel more connected to God. Dave Sugeno talked about it once at a Wednesday night service. He asked us to think of our deserted place (think, "God Spot"), a place where we inexplicably feel closer to God. That, of course, could be any place, many places or one very special place.

Ecclesiastes is the Greek translation of the Hebrew "Qoheleth", meaning preacher or teacher". It is one of the 'writings' of the Old Testament canon. The editor of the book provides a superscription that identifies the author as "son of David" and hence the work was attributed to Solomon but the language suggests that it was written after 300 BCE. So what is this book about?

While a freshman at university, I had to write a theme on some famous American. I chose to write about Philip Nolan, "The man without a country." I went to the library to do research but couldn't find information in the biographies or the encyclopedias, so I went to the librarian for help. She explained that there was no American named Philip Nolan, that he was a character of fiction in a book written by Edward Everett Hale in 1863 to inspire patriotism during the American Civil War. What an embarrassment! Where was Google when I needed it?

Swiss Reformer / Dialectical Theologian / "Father of Neo-Orthodoxy"
"God is God". Karl Barth believed that all things should begin with God. God provides the answers so that we humans are provoked to ask the questions. That may sound a little strange to the modern mind but Barth had a purpose. As he says, "we must not allow an anthropological starting point." To begin with the human condition is to risk creating a "God in our own image, to make of God what we need God to be to suit our needs."

Paul Tillich, Professor of Philosophical Theology, Union Theological Seminary, New York, was the son of a Lutheran Pastor. In 1911, he graduated from the University of Breslau with a doctoral degree in philosophy. In 1912 he was ordained as a minister in the Lutheran Church. For the next two decades he lectured on philosophy and theology in many universities, including Berlin, Dresden and Frankfurt. During that time, he also served four years as a military chaplain during WWI, serving in the trenches.

At-risk students get a 'Jump Start' on college
Penn State Mont Alto will launch its new Jump Start program next week when 22 students and 10 peer mentors arrive on campus for an early orientation experience. Jump Start is optional for first-generation students, those most at risk.
Each Jump Start participant has been paired with a trained peer mentor who will support them in their transition to college and help them to better know the campus and its many services. During their extended orientation next week, students will participate in Math and English preparatory modules and other sessions to prepare them for the classroom experience including practical study tips, time management, understanding syllabi, classroom etiquette and professor politics, financial aid, and more.
During the academic year, the students will be enrolled in key courses with fellow Jump Start students, meet regularly with their peer mentors and receive individualized academic support with a Learning Specialist.
"The overall goal of the program is to raise their academic preparedness," says Kendra Wolgast, director of Mont Alto's Academic Support Center. "We also want to increase the retention rate of our at-risk student population." The program is funded by University grants.
The new academic year will commence at Penn State Mont Alto on Monday, August 24.
