Extreme Cold Weather in Europe a Clear Consequences of Climate Change
Hundreds have lost their lives in Eastern Europe as freezing weather sweeps across the continent westwards, while major airports warned that services would be delayed or cancelled.
A state of emergency was declared in Bosnia after the cold snap claimed its seventh victim, and avalanches and strong winds cut off hundreds of villages in eastern parts. A friend called me from Warsaw knowing me as a true climate change advocate, saying we have failed, because of we believe in global warming and now the globe is freezing!
I immediately answered him with a proof of what he has known and watched recently in a sciences documentary, which shows polar bears drowning, because after long swims they cannot find a solid piece of ice to get onto and rest without that ice breaking from under them.
Is Global Warming Really Happening?
So many people have been saying to me over the past few weeks that how can people be talking about climate change and global warming when this year and last year we've had such snow as hasn't been seen in these parts for years.
For years, climate contrarians have pointed to snowfall and cold weather to question the scientific reality of human-induced climate change.
It always fascinates me that people never want to believe the scientists when it comes to global warming, but they trust the scientists (doctors) who will do brain surgery or heart transplants.
When the global warming "side" said, it will cause floods in some places, we have witnessed it does actually in Australia, Newzeland, Pakistan and many other countries, many people died, billions of dollars lost. They said it will cause droughts in other part of the globe and it does. The global warming side said trees in the Amazon will start to die causing wild fire and it does. The polar ice caps will melt, changing the circulation of the jet stream, the Gulf Stream, and other global climate regulators and it is now happening.
Of course, the fact that we're having some really cold weather with plenty of snow doesn't contradict global warming. Global warming is a climate change effect that can cause many types of weather anomaly, and an overall increase in global temperature doesn't have to cause locally warmer weather only, it's a bit more complex than that.
Role of global warming!
NASA and NOAA plus research centers around the world track the global average temperature, and all conclude that Earth is warming. In fact, the past decade has been found to be the hottest since scientists started recording reliable data in the 1880s. These rising temperatures are caused primarily by an increase of heat-trapping emissions in the atmosphere created when we burn coal, oil, and gas to generate electricity, drive our cars, and fuel our businesses. Hotter air around the globe causes more water evaporation, which fuels heavier precipitation in the form of more intense rain and snow storms.
At the same time, because less of a region's precipitation is falling in light storms and more of it in heavy storms, the risks of drought and wildfire are also greater. Ironically, higher air temperatures tend to produce intense drought periods punctuated by heavy floods, often in the same region. To have one bad winter may be considered a misfortune, to have two on the run could be construed as a pattern. In fact, what we are experiencing now is well within the bounds of natural variability, even in a globally warmer world. There are undoubtedly many other complications that have combined to give us a bitterly cold December. The first is a "blocking high" pressure in the North Atlantic that has sent our mild westerlies, and surprisingly balmy weather, to Greenland. Another is the possibility that we are entering a cooler phase of the climatic oscillation of the North Atlantic, when the usual pattern of low pressure over Greenland and high pressure over the Azores breaks down. A final complication is what's happening in the tropical Pacific Ocean, where the "La Nina" sea current is entering a 20-year high of activity. However, the work by Vladimir Petoukhov and Professor Stefan Rahmstorf makes a remarkable prediction based on the loss of Arctic sea ice. We could be seeing colder winters than normal precisely because the Arctic is getting warmer.
The Arctic connection
Arctic sea ice has been in retreat over recent decades, with record lows recorded in September 2007. The normal recovery of the sea ice during winter has also been affected, especially in the Barents and Kara seas which have seen significant losses of ice cover over the past decade.
Stefan Rahmstorf, professor of physics of the oceans at the Potsdam Institute, said the floating sea ice in winter insulates the relatively warm seawater from the bitterly cold temperatures of the air above it, which can be around -20C or -30C.
"The Arctic sea ice is shrinking and at the moment it is at a record low, which provides a big heat source for the atmosphere," Professor Rahmstorf said. "The open ocean actually heats the atmosphere above because the ocean in the Arctic is about 0C, and that's much warmer than the atmosphere above it. This is a massive change compared with an ice-covered ocean, where the ice operates like a lid. You don't get that heating from below.
"The model simulations show that, when you don't get ice on the Barents and Kara seas, that promotes the formation of a high-pressure system there, and, because the airflow is clockwise around the high, it brings cold, polar air right into Europe, which leads to cold conditions here while it is unusually warm elsewhere, especially in the Arctic," he explained.
The overall warming of the northern hemisphere due to global warming causes losses in Arctic sea ice which causes regional heating of lower levels of air which in turn causes anomalies in atmospheric airstreams causing an overall cooling effect in high latitude countries.
It is high time to believe that the threat of climate change, caused by rising global temperatures, is the most significant environmental challenge facing the world. It has major implications for the world's social and economic stability, its natural resources and in particular, the way we produce our energy. In order to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, the global temperature increase must be kept as far below 2°C as possible. This is still possible, but time is running out. To stay within this limit, global greenhouse gas emissions will need to be downsized this would be realize with more investment on clean Renewable energy. We need to significantly reduce the global investment of fossil fuel sources of energy.
According to Mathew Huber Antarctica was ice free until around 35 million years ago when the ice sheets rapidly formed. Antarctica had been Ice free for at least 100 million years previous to this time. According to Huber the likely culprit was loss of C02 in the atmosphere. The earth had been a warm wet planet then the planet cooled killing off almost all amphibians and reptiles along with many mammal species. It is time to do the right thing and reverse this sadistic cooling trend. We need to stop the uncontrolled sequestration of CO2 by these random natural forces and restore order and the previous balance to our world.
If we will not undertake the needed action for ourselves we should think of the children and all the generations to follow and do it for them. Are we so egotistical as to destine future generations to try to survive in a frozen world due to our current apathy when we could act now and prevent the almost certain coming cataclysm of another global freeze by an Ice Age.
Ok enough satire, first yes global warming is real and has been for at least 10,000 years. The author seems to present this as the issue but that is not, the issue is how much, if any, additional warming is caused by human activity and then more specifically how much of that is directly related to the production of CO2 by the burning of fossil fuels of which coal is the poster child. I fail to see the value of misrepresenting all planetary warming as CO2 induced. Yes glaciers are retreating as are ice sheets, yes it sucks to be polar bear.
Science is not dogma, to quote Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in his resignation from the physics society in disgust over its official policy that "global warming is occurring" and "the evidence is incontrovertible"
"The claim … is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period," (Fox News 09/14/2011).
It really does not matter anyway whatever cataclysm CO2 might possibly entail will happen. The US position as the number one GHG emitter is fading it will be the second or third behind China and probably India in few years.
Anyway the article seems to incorrectly connect all Global warming to anthropogenic warming. Doing this is misleading and rather simplistic.
There are a variety of other factors that can cause weather patterns to change, some even related to cyclical solar activity. With regard to Northern Europe, part of the warm North Atlantic Current flows into the Barents Sea, with some water flowing into the Kara Sea and some flowing into the Greenland Current . . . the rest flows out of the Bering Strait and into the Kamchatka Current.
A change in the behaviour of the North Atlantic Current could bring about a change in Northern European weather . . . a change in the percentage of water that flows south into the Canary Current and northwest into the Greenland Current has the potential to affect that weather. The El Nino and La NIna effects in the Pacific Ocean involve periodic/cyclical changes in ocean currents that affect weather patterns acoss the Americas . . . this has happened over a period of centuries.
With regard to power generation, changing weather patterns will affect wind power and hydroelectric power generation. Nations adversely affected by changing weather patterns may be well advised to generate electric more electric power from sources that are less affected by weather, including building new nuclear power stations away from coastal regions that are prone to tidal waves and tsunami's
As an engineer I know that energy is conserved. If a BTU is released into the environment, it must have a warming effect. Now a single BTU by itself is insignificant but civilization releases an unbelievable amount of heat to the environment. For example, a single 400 MW coal plant at full load will release over 3 billion BTU's per hour. Nuclear plants being less efficient proportionately dump even more heat to the environment. And the world's entire power plants together pale to insignificance when one considers the heat released to the environment by motor vehicles. At the same time, civilization has paved over vast expanses of the world's surface with roads, buildings and homes. This surface area is no longer available to convert solar energy to vegetative matter. These paved areas absorb and then re-release the BTU's to the environment. The question becomes what effect does heat release and pavement has on global temperatures.
The simplest explanation is often the most correct. From a strictly First Law of Thermodynamics point of view, there can be no question that mankind's actions are changing the climate. There's just too much energy being dumped to the environment. Global warming is real but probably driven by BTU not CO2. Yes CO2 has increased as temperatures have increased but these are not direct cause and effect. In fact, I suspect that increased levels of CO2 may be beneficial for crop growth.... something to consider as the world's population continues to increase.
C.M. Jackson P.E.
So Shehu Kaleel laments the cold weather in Europe this last winter and of course, for those poor souls who lost their lives as a result, one can feel nothing but compassion.
However the reader is led to believe that this cold weather is a result of Carbon Dioxide in the earth's atmosphere AND that it is the very small amount of Carbon Dioxide that is produced by the human incineration of fossil fuels. Note that by far the majority of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was NOT put there by the burning of fossil fuels.
What then explains the historical fact that in the 1600's, the River Thames in London England was quite frequently frozen over and not navigable. This very cold weather of course predates the production of Carbon Dioxide by humans. So clearly other mechanisms are at work which we either do not wish to understand or do not fit into "Global Warming" model which is so notoriously full of holes and politically motivated that it defies the imagination that any one would lend it credibility.
In response to Carl, you are quite correct energy is neither created nor destroyed and merely converts from one form to another ending up as heat. However while the amount of energy we are consuming (converting to heat) is large by historical standards by comparison to the amount of energy the Earth receive from the Sun it is merely a few billionths of a percent. The Sun emits more energy per second than has been used by all mankind in its entire history.
Let's get things into perspective people. The Sun is what dominates the temperature and the weather on this planet.
Indeed one of the counter theories to the CO2 theory is solar wind interactions with the upper atmosphere and scientists working on this have found an almost 1 to 1 correlation (not a doctored hockey stick graph but a REAL correlation) between the historical global temperature measurements and Sun activity. Not that one would hear the UN espouse such a valid and competing theory to the one they have spent an inordinate amount of money trying to prove.
So I suspect that a cold snap in Europe has absolutely nothing whatever to do with global warming or CO2. Of course such weather patterns do not fit at all with Global warming which is why we now hear the phrase "Global Climate Change" so we can explain colder as well as warmer weather.
To extrapolate a cold snap in Europe to the effects of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is really stretching it.
The simple explanation is that CO2 has a small effect on our climate and the sun has a large one.
The Pacific decadal oscillation, the Southern oscillation, the recent long sunspot cycle and many other indicators that tell us that the world is cooling. Naturally.
And, by the way, arctic ice is increasing. In 1942, the midwest of the US was warm while Europe froze. Exactly the same conditions as this winter. And the CO2 levels were much less.
The statement with which I take greatest exception is this: 'threat of climate change, caused by rising global temperatures, is the most significant environmental challenge facing the world.'
Incorrect. The most significant environmental challenge(s) is/are ignorance and poverty. Back to school Mr. Khaleel, you have a lot to learn.
Unfortunately, the good professor fails to recognize the tremendous change in thinking that came about through the development of natural philosophy - scientific philosophy. Under scientific philosophy, the pronouncements of climate authorities are not as important as how and why they acquired their claimed knowledge. Did they adhere to the principles of acquiring scientific knowledge? If the climate authorities did not, then anyone familiar with scientific principles is perfectly capable of challenging these experts, even though the challenger is not, necessarily, an expert in climate science.
There are many glaring scientific defects in AR4, particularly in the SPM. Among these defects are the following:
? Ignoring scientific data that is contrary to the central conclusions.
? Failure to rigorously test hypotheses using physical observations.
? Assuming results are evidence of cause.
? Assuming a poor correlation is evidence of cause.
? Assuming a thorough knowledge of the climate system.
? Assuming that calculations involving variables with a low level of understanding can produce results embodying a high level of understanding.
? Assuming projections from unverified models are scientific knowledge.
The SPM focuses only on the past fifty years - not carefully defined. Thus, it ignores a vast body of scientific evidence that prior warm periods equal to or greater than the current period existed and that the historical warm periods are unrelated to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The main body of the AR4 explains these omissions by claiming the past warm periods were not global. Yet, according to the most comprehensive, reliable data available, satellite data, the current warm period is not global. It is concentrated in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere, above 35 deg N.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and laboratory experiments show that a doubling of CO2, absent of feedbacks, will increase temperatures by about 1.2 deg C. The SPM assumes positive feedbacks amplify this small warming. Yet, nowhere in AR4 are these positive feedbacks tested against physical observations as required by the critical step of hypothesis testing. Tests by others demonstrate that the assumptions fail when tested against the proper alternative hypothesis - the null hypothesis. Such testing is the foundation of scientific knowledge.
There is little question warming occurred in the 20th century and the results of warming can be observed. However, these results do not establish cause.
During the 20th century, both CO2 and temperatures increased, but not necessarily together. The correlation is poor. For several multi-decadal periods during the 20th century temperatures fell while CO2 increased.
In the SPM, only one natural variation is considered - solar irradiation. Other influences of the sun and the influence of ocean oscillations are ignored.
An appendix to the main body of the AR4 gives the levels of understanding for sixteen variables considered to influence temperatures (many important variables are not considered.) The levels of understanding for five of these influences are rated as very low. The levels of understanding for ten for the remaining eleven are rated as low to medium. Yet the SPM states a high level of confidence in results of its work. One cannot have high confidence in the results, when starting with a poor understanding of critical variables.
The models have never been verified, thus are interesting artifacts, not knowledge.
Contrary to the statements of Professor Gutting, anyone understanding the principles establishing physical sciences has a solid philosophical basis for challenging the work of the experts of the IPCC. Please see the referenced articles under "Challenging the Orthodoxy" and "Defenders of the Orthodoxy."
Learned people may deserve respect, but you should not fall into the logical fallacy of 'appeal to authority'.
Perhaps you should look up one of the many articles I have written on this site. It is as pertinent now as it was some years ago. My comments on AGW then, still hold, as the IPCC had not changed as the facts have changed. Can you? I can.
In general, large authorities tend to be correct; they are too bureaucratic to host a lie. I don't have any great reason to dispute the IPCC or the climate change contention in general. Why should I believe John instead of them? I DON'T find his articles convincing. Quite the contrary, actually.
My definition of climate change is the rise of CO2 levels to near 400 ppm which causes new behavior in the world climate. With all its vagaries, I think this is happening.
OTOH, the problem with climate change is that there is little (practically) one can do about it. If I were some kind of advisor, the notion of climate change (to me) would be to push more for nuclear over coal use. That's about all we can do at this point. I agree that other problems (dictators, poverty, etc.) impact people more than climate change does (at least right now). Don H. would indicate that this is a sign we should have fewer people on the planet.
I guess its up to individuals as to how miserable they'd like to live, but as of now, with our current resource access and political acumen, we can't seem to avoid 20-30% of the world living pretty miserable lives. I'm not sure have fewer people around would actually help, but having more around certainly won't.
1) the IPCC is simply a small group of report writers who consolidate the available reliable published knowledge of all researchers in climate, including all the naysayers noted above. If their research hasn't negated the findings, its because it didn't hold up to inspection by highly qualified analysts.
Incorrect! You conveniently overlook the horrendous fact that the issuers of the IPCC reports once admitted (oh horror) that if the science did not match the conclusions that they wanted to see, then the science would be re-written - and by that same bunch of hacks who decided what the conclusions were to be before they even knew what the science said. What an admission to make! You seem able to swallow that elephant and others like it, quite easily with the moral indignation of a true zealot, while gagging on a few gnats.
You also conveniently overlook the fact that the IPCC scientists came to the conclusion that humans had NO discernible influence on the cliimate at the present time. I believe it was Ben Santer who rewrote that particular observation of the many scientists without their permission or knowledge, and changed its meaning by 180 degrees and decided that there was, and that's what was then written in the summary.
You also forget that the IPCC carefully selected which reports it would accept and which it would leave out, and quite capriciously. Although it said that only peer reviewed papers would be used, it then went ahead and used non-peer reviewed cr.p that had essentially no science to it whatsoever, and this continues to haunt them to this day. However, as they are unaccountable....
Len, rather than criticize (quite cowardly too) my numerous writings here, why not contribute some of your own. You always have a lot to say, but most of it is ad hominem, especially when I appear. I wonder why that is.
"The IPCC and UN are 100% political." "They are 100% unaccountable." "Len has a short attention span and is forgetful." "Len is cowardly."
I don't know if it represents in itself an ad hominem attack to point out the ad hominem attacks of others.
The report re-write you cite is from an op-ed piece by Frederick Seitz. The contentions of Seitz were dismissed by Santer and 40 others. Likewise, the smoke of the East Anglia climategate did not result in any fire.
I've noticed AGW debate mainly focuses on dismissing other people 'experts' as not being expert. Often via ad hominem attacks. Personally, I haven't found the technical papers of AGW critics (Beck, etc.) particularly compelling and they seem to have serious flaws in them.
I actually enjoy receving such ad hominem attacks. It says much more about the writer and his base of information than it does about me.
Something else, I have learned an enormous amount from people in this site. Recently I was declared persona non grata from another site because of complaining of their accepting an absurd article. If I gave the orders in this old world of ours, I would ask persons on the lookout for exposure to be careful before impugning people who know what they are talking about.
There are so many inconsistencies in the computer models and the data that has gone into them that there is significant doubt as to the capabilites to predict anything. If these models are as good as you say then why were they not able to predict the cold weather in Europe. The IPCC is telling me that they know the global temperature 50 years from now but are unable to predict what the temperatures are going to be next year.
If that does not raise substantial doubt in the mind of any thinking person then I have some swamp land in Florida I would like to sell you.
French scientists reported this week that studies of glaciers in the Himalayas made from highly accurate satellite measurements show that the ice mass is INCREASING in some areas. Exactly the opposite of what the global warming booster club (sorry Fred but I just had to use your phrase) predicts is occurring. The facts do not support the conclusion.
There is a significant body of work done by equally great and learned scientists into the effects of solar particle streams on the upper atmosphere which has shown a far more accurate correlation to the earths temperature over the millennia than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. But that work goes unreported because one cannot make political hay out of that.
I was in Australia last year where Global warming was given as the cause for a prolonged drought in that country. Unfortunately for the global warming theorists the drought came to an end resulting in serious flooding (too much water) in many areas. Of course both the drought and the flood are caused by global warming according the the lunatic Australian media.
Of course John Sutherland is absolutely right. While the IPCC continues to doctor its data the evidence against AGW is mounting daily and the ridiculous and unsupported notion that a single bout of cold weather in Europe is caused by AGW is just plain nonsense.
Just last year the Swiss were lamenting low snow falls across the Alps. It seems to me that it is the weather being the weather - entirely UN predictable.

I am looking for a warm water (Honduras)wet suit. I am wondering what the difference between mens and womens fit is. The mens medium seems more true to my weight as well as measurements than the womens 2xl(14) does. Is there any difference in the cut? thanks, Sarah
It is possible for women to fit into a Men's size suit, but not Men's into Women. The waist and chest are the most important measurements for the fit with a wetsuit. Height usually will work even if it is one to two inches short or tall. Weight will depend on the divers body build and is the last measurement to consider.

We've just upgraded to Zimbra 4.03GA and upgraded the outlook connector as well.
Two of our outlook users can be managers of another user's contacts and calendar.
After installing the new connector, we re-created their Outlook profiles from scratch-- the outlook sync seemed to go fine; and all their email, contacts and calendar are present. But in the shared user folders, whilst all the contacts seem to be there, many of the calendar entries are missing.
From zimbra, they have all the calendar entries and contact entries.
When I check the zimbra sync.log, I can see that the outlook connector has received all the appointments:
email1# grep [owner of calendar entry] zimbra.log | grep GetAppointment | grep [shared user name] | wc -l
which is around the number of entries he has in the calendar.
But most of the entries don't appear in the outlook calendar.
I've now reproduced this bug on a separate machine; I created a new profile for one of the users and repeated the sync, with the same results.
This was _not_ a problem with 4.02GA and the 4.02GA outlook connector.

On July 4th, CERN scientists announced that they observed a particle that strongly resembles the Higgs boson, a critical element of the standard model of particle physics. This particle is thought to be responsible for the characteristic of mass, which gives objects weight when combined with gravity. Detection of the Higgs Boson would not have ... [ + Read more ]

Watch Tom Cruise Get Killed Off Over And Over In This Darkly Funny Edge Of Tomorrow Supercut
Spoiler Alert: Tom Cruise dies a lot in Edge of Tomorrow. Ok, that's barely a spoiler, as the premise of the film involves Cruise's character living the same day over and over, as it resets every time he dies. With that said, if you haven't seen the movie yet, you might want to skip this video, as this darkly amusing "death edit" is kind of spoilery. Many of these scenes are better seen in context.

Edge Of Tomorrow Just Hit A Major Milestone For Tom Cruise
On its opening weekend, Edge Of Tomorrow (yes, that's the title we're sticking with) got its ass kicked byThe Fault In Our Stars. Already, everyone was jumping on the train blaming the film's title, marketing campaign, and even Warner Bros itself for the film's apparent failure at the box office this past June. However, in a year of weak numbers all around, perhaps it's time to re-examine Edge Of Tomorrow's box office profile. Especially today.

Edge Of Tomorrow just can't catch a break when it comes to the subject of its actual title.

Edge Of Tomorrow Probably Forced Jupiter Ascending's Delay

Edge Of Tomorrow And The Path To Box Office Profitability
What do you call a big budget movie with an exceedingly bankable movie star and loads of praise from critics? Some would say Edge Of Tomorrow, but after the movie's first weekend a more appropriate phrase might be "a bomb". The sci-fi action flick had its ass handed to it by a teen literary sensation and Angelina Jolie wearing horns and a form fitting costume. A film that has Tom Cruise, the man who most consider to be our last true "movie star" at its center.

I am testing a migration from Sun JES. Sun JES on the messages store links the files for common emails in the same way that Zimbra does. However I'm pretty sure that when I do an imapsync to migrate all the users that the hard links will be lost.
Are the links indeed lost in the migration? Or is Zimbra smart enough when a message comes in to recognize a message is the same and re-link it? If Zimbra does not, has anyone tried re-linking messages once they have migrated?
I am looking at migrating a 150GB message store, so any kind of growth incurred by losing hard links is less than ideal.

Tucked into the rural Loess Hills of western Iowa is one of the more than 70 licensed wineries in the state. Dan Kaercher checks out the vineyard, learns how the grapes turn into wine, and gets a taste to boot!
Hosted by Dan Kaercher, Iowa's Simple Pleasures features Iowa travel destinations, restaurants, events, parks, recreation and more. Produced by Iowa Public Television, the series highlights fun things for Iowans to do, see and taste, right here at home.
Kaercher: How often can you see your wine grow on a vine, learn how it's processed, and get a taste to boot? It's easier than you think with the more than 70 wineries in our state. Nestled in the Loess Hills of Southwest Iowa is a scene reminiscent of something you'd see in Colorado. The chalet style tasting room and shaded meandering decks fit perfectly into the rolling landscape, creating an inviting atmosphere for wine enthusiasts. I'm here with Frank and Amy Faust, the owners of Sugar Clay Winery. What a perfect afternoon. What a perfect spot. We're on the deck overlooking the vineyard over our shoulder. Frank, how did you get into this gig?
Frank Faust: Well, right around the year 2000, the first grapes went in the ground. We put in approximately about 6 acres, about 3,500 vines, and waited about five years until they came to production. And in that time we were building the winery and getting ready to produce wine. At the fifth year, our first harvest came out and we started making wine.
Kaercher: Amy, tell me what kind of grapes do you grow here? What kind of wines do you produce?
Amy Faust: We have to carefully select the grapes so that they withstand the Midwest temperatures and the growing season. So we've got a Norton/Cynthiana grape, which makes a really nice robust red -- dry red. We have Vignoles, Catawba, Concord, Edelweiss. We've got Marechal Foch, St. Vincent, Chambourcin.
Kaercher: Quite a variety.
Amy Faust: We have about ten varieties.
Kaercher: Frank, where does the name Sugar Clay come from?
Frank Faust: Well, in the early 1800s when the settlers and the pioneers came to the Loess Hills, they noticed when they went into farming and they tilled the ground and cleared the ground that when it would rain, the soil would just dissolve like sugar with water on it. So therefore they coined the name Sugar Clay.
Kaercher: I'm ready for my tour, but first I've got to toast. Here's to the good life in Iowa.
Amy Faust: Cheers.
Kaercher: Cheers.
Frank Faust: Dan, this is where it all begins. It starts in the vineyard. That's where the wine actually really starts.
Kaercher: What kind of grapes are grown here?
Frank Faust: This is our Cynthiana grape. It has still not turned to veraison yet, where it's starting to get color to the grapes. It still has probably another two months before it's going to be ready for harvest.
Kaercher: How do you know it's ready for harvest?
Frank Faust: Well, a lot depends on the PH and the titratable acidity in the wine itself or in the grape itself.
Kaercher: You test that yourself?
Frank Faust: Yes, we do. Yes, we do.
Kaercher: The grapes are harvested in the fall and then the wine production begins.
Amy Faust: Dan, this is our production area. After the grapes leave the vineyard, they go outside to our crush pad where they first enter the crusher destemmer and then the bladder press, and that's how we extract the juice from the grapes. After the press is done, the juice is pumped into these various vats that you see.
Kaercher: Those are big too! How many gallons?
Amy Faust: We can produce up to 10,000 gallons in this small room. Some of the blue barrels that you see are actually barrels that we use to blend the different juices to make different wines.
Kaercher: Once the juice goes into the vats, yeast is added and fermentation begins. The process can take between two to four weeks, depending on the style of wine. After the finishing, the wine gets hand bottled, hand corked, and hand labeled. As Amy wrapped up this portion of the tour, there were two words she said that really sparked my interest. Did I hear you say tasting room?
Amy Faust: Right.
Kaercher: That sounds really good to me. How about we head up there?
Amy Faust: Let's go.
Kaercher: Okay. Oh, boy, great ambience.
Amy Faust: Yeah, this is a great room. This is our tasting room.
Kaercher: It's got a really comfortable kind of chalet, ski-type feel to it almost. Well, I'm ready to try something. What are you going to choose for me?
Amy Faust: Let's start with the III Vines. This is our nice dry white. It's fairly acidic. It makes a great food wine. This reminds me of a Seyval Blanc. I'll let you try that.
Kaercher: Oh, yeah, we love Seyval Blanc.
Amy Faust: But it's got three Iowa grapes: La Crescent, Edelweiss, and Frontenac Gris. So we'll give it a swirl.
Kaercher: Those all do well in Iowa, those grapes.
Amy Faust: They do. And they make a nice blend. This has been oaked for a little while, so you can taste the oak in there.
Kaercher: Wonderful. Great.
Amy Faust: All right. Next I think we'll try the Loess Hills Blush. This is a blend, Dan, of two real familiar grapes, Catawba and Concord. They're both Labrusca style grapes, so it's a real fruity, almost similar to a Sangria style wine.
Kaercher: So this is going to be a lot sweeter.
Amy Faust: It is going to be a lot sweeter.
Kaercher: It's amazing the variety of wines you can produce right here in Iowa.
Amy Faust: That's the beauty of it. The varietals make wonderful wines. We have a lot of fun as well blending wines. Some of our blended wines are the most popular. This is a blended wine. It's got a beautiful cranberry red color. You can really taste the fruit.
Kaercher: Quite a contrast to the tart one we had earlier.
Amy Faust: Exactly.
Kaercher: It is a beautiful color too. The variety of wine offered at Sugar Clay was impressive. They also have a small menu that boasts appetizers and sandwiches, along with a unique item very fitting for a winery, Amy's Grape Salsa. Is this the famous grape salsa?
Amy Faust: This is the grape salsa, yeah. Everybody is talking about it. We offer lunch and dinner. We make lots of appetizers that go well with wine. This Loess Hills Blush would be a really good complement to this. It kind of cuts through some of that heat.
Kaercher: I love it. It's very sweet but then it has this kick, the hot stuff.
Amy Faust: Exactly.
Kaercher: Great combination of flavors.
Amy Faust: Thank you.
Kaercher: Cheers.
Amy Faust: Thank you. Cheers.
Kaercher: Outside under the canopy of trees, Sugar Clay frequently offers live music. What a relaxing way to unwind: sipping wine, enjoying live music in the company of my new friends, and Amy's grape salsa. My day is complete.

Hearing from a few people that the game may be moved to Sunday to avoid the severe weather threat. I'm curious if anyone else has heard that and what the likelihood of this happening really is. Talk about a logistical nightmare.
yikes. no please
Right now the word is there may be a nice sized gap in the bad weather enough to get the game in.
We'll see if that holds.
No way. Cant see it happening. No way. Weather delay, etc. I can see. But not moving.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Cyclones moving up to the NFL? Maybe EMAW was right when they started the thread about us leaving the Big 12...
Remember there were the exact same conditions for the game @KSU last year and they just had a delay. No way the game gets moved to Sunday.
Kansas State must have some pretty convincing trolls....
Follow me on twitter. I complain about the Twins' roster management, you complain about the forecast, etc...
The soccer game?
No mention of that possibility here...

Where the heck did you hear that?
The beauty of a game scheduled for 11am is that you have all day to get the game in, if you need to delay.
I could actually see them doing this for public safety. They learned a hug lesson during the Colorado game. I know that game was one of my favorites ever. It was still dangerous.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

To be fair, it is pretty hard to separate the stupid from the trolls in that fanbase though.
I honestly can't believe people are falling for this.
They aren't going to move it to Sunday. They're just moving it to Manhattan, KS.

The problem is, if that gap isn't there at 11... the weather looks to go worse as the day goes on before it gets better.
It wouldnt surprise me if there was some talk of this yesterday before things started looking better. They'll probably continue to evaluate and make a decision as we get closer.
Whoever told you that is probably smoking crack with DUbben!
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:

Axis and Allies was a game that screamed out for house rules to make it a little more interesting and fun. I hadn't realised that there was a minis version. The board scale and size looks very similar to Advanced Squad Leader. If you click the link and scroll down you will be able to see the style of map they use (very similar to yours) and that may give you some more ideas. Are you aiming at making the boards geomophic?
Very nice looking boards. Maybe you should produce a bunch of them and get gameprinter to make proper cardboard mounted copies for you!

Hi gurus,
does anyone has already setup ZCB connector on Zimbra7 and Besx 5.0.2?
I (still) have some troubles, and i'm not able to find if that configuration is officially supported by Zimbra.
Just another question: are ZCB supported on windows 2008 R2 (sp1?) or only on windows 2008 SP2?
Documentation said SP2 but i've read many documents that specified that R2 are supported too.
thanks in advice

A new plan is now in effect in Alabama that will help fight violence against women.
Statistics from the Alabama criminal justice information center shows more than 1,000 rapes and 20,000 domestic violence cases are reported every year in the state. But officials say that's only about 20 percent of those crimes being committed.
"I want to emphasize how important I think it is to remember during these times of national crisis, how important it is to remember our own backyards," said Judge Jimmy Frye. "Everywhere I go, whether it's Washington or anywhere else, I like to remind our senators and congressmen that homeland defense truly does begin at home and it begins in our own backyards."
The new plan will educate doctors, law enforcement and any other public officials who witness a crime and are willing to report it.

30 Days of Night (2007)
30 Days of Night Synopsis
Producer Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) brings audiences the terrifying thriller 30 Days of Night, set in the isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, in the extreme northern hemisphere, which is plunged into complete darkness annually for an entire month. When most of the inhabitants head south for the winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the towns residents. As the night wears on, Barrow's Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight.
Sam Raimi may be too busy with Spider-Man to make his own horror movies, but he seems to find plenty of time to produce them for others. Alright, the last thing we need is another vampire movie, but this one actually sounds kind of cool. Theres nothing glossy or slick about what weve seen from it. 30 Days of Night looks gritty and actually pretty scary.

Hi All,
ZCS 7.1 Migration Wizard for Lotus Domino documentation reads "Rich text in email messages is converted to plain text.". Unfortunately it is not quite so. Text part is converted to quoted-printable encoded text, this is OK, no problem. But the Wizard converts HTML part too and does it horribly. For example.
Converted to:Code:
--=_alternative 0056BE4A8525788E_=
Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"

I have already told people my new email
address is firstname.lastname@example.com. So maybe that solves the issues.
Can you have the Lotus service send any emails sent to firstname.lastname@example.com
to example.com?
It's so strange. Why charset=utf-8 with quoted printable encoding, when source was pure 7bit ASCII? Why font "verdana"? why color="Black"? Overall, why modify perfectly good html source? btw, formatted result looks awful.Code:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8;
Content-Transfer-Encoding: Quoted-printable

I have already told people my new email address is =
jack=40example.com. =C2=A0So maybe that solves the issues. =
=C2=A0Can you have the Lotus service send any emails sent to =
j=40example.com to example.com?
Does anybody know how to avoid this conversion and make the wizard copy source without modification? Or transfer just text part only, skipping HTML part?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,

My first attempt to make a dungeon. This is a hand drawn draft, which I will trace digitally to get clean and crisp lines. Critics and ideas are most welcome.

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
It wasn't a criticism at all, but, you know, whatever...
A little bit more info on the map and the statues. The large one with the globe is the sun god (holding the sun). The three in the center are the high saints of the sun faith, while the larger group are statues from legendary and brave warriors.
The main rooms are all sacked, but in the upper right is the secret door which leads to the real tomb, not the fake tomb, that was plundered long ago.
And I have no problem with criticism. As this is the first dungeon in this style, I am open for comments.
Next update. I did most of the 'easy' outlines in Illustrator. The more difficult items, like the statues (already two done), I will make in PS.
As you see, this draft diverges a little bit from my first one.

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - The Baltimore Ravens never beat the Indianapolis Colts in the postseason with Peyton Manning at quarterback. They had an easier time in their first encounter with his heir apparent, however.
And now they'll get another chance to obtain that elusive victory over Manning after ending the Indianapolis Colts' storybook season with a 24-9 triumph in Sunday's AFC Wild Card Playoffs.
Inspired by the return of emotional team leader Ray Lewis, the Ravens defense held the upstart Colts to three Adam Vinatieri field goals and spoiled the playoff debut of rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and the return of Indianapolis head coach Chuck Pagano to Baltimore, where he spent four years as an assistant under John Harbaugh before taking over the Colts last January.
Playing for the first time since mid-October due to a torn triceps and just days after announcing his retirement at season's end, Lewis was credited with 13 tackles in spearheading Baltimore's effort. Outside linebacker Paul Kruger came up with a big game as well, registering 2 1/2 of the Ravens' three sacks of Luck and causing one of three takeaways with a forced fumble.
Joe Flacco added a pair of touchdown passes to the win while throwing for 282 yards and making good on 12-of-23 attempts, while Anquan Boldin amassed 145 yards and a score on five catches -- all of which came in the second half.
The Ravens now advance to a meeting with Manning's top-seeded Denver Broncos in next Saturday's Divisional Round.
Luck put up 288 yards in his first-ever playoff appearance, but completed just 28-of-54 throws and was intercepted once.
Reggie Wayne finished with 114 yards on nine catches for the Colts, who reached the postseason just one year removed from a dreadful 2-14 campaign, while Vick Ballard rushed for 91 yards on 22 carries.

Game might get ugly, but here's a call
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On Tuesday, I saw a video of DMX singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
It made me wonder. Which might be worse: the rapper's rendition or tonight's WVU-Marshall basketball game at Charleston's Civic Center?
The Thundering Herd has fallen to South Dakota State and Hofstra this season. It's coming off back-to-back three-point victories over Morehead State and UNC-Wilmington.
The Mountaineers, meanwhile, have fallen to Davidson. Their lone victories are over Marist and VMI.
Out of 345 NCAA Division I teams, Marshall is No. 268 in scoring defense through Sunday's games, allowing 71.6 points per game, while West Virginia is No. 201, allowing 67.4.
In field goal percentage, MU is No. 120 (44.8 percent) to WVU's 253 (41.2). In 3-point field goal percentage, MU is No. 207, while WVU is somewhere below No. 265 at 23.5 percent. The NCAA requires teams make a minimum of five per game to show up in those rankings. Not kidding.
Then I remembered the electric atmosphere that always accompanies this game at this venue. I remembered the way the contests are almost always tight. I remembered that who-can-hold-the-cheerleaders-up-longest showdown.
It spurred me to again break this sucker down.
My gut says the two teams will swap their usual identities. Marshall, rather than WVU, will try to make this a physical, half-court game, while the Mountaineers will try to push the ball and put pressure on the guards.
The key: rebounding. When Marshall is superior on the boards, it usually wins. The Herd has seven players 6-foot-8 or taller.
I expect WVU to counter by playing small. When Mountaineer big men Deniz Kilicli and Aaric Murray are on the court together, defensive trouble ensues. Opponents' big men have had success offensively.
So let's assume Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins starts Juwan Staten, Jabarie Hinds, Keaton Miles, Terry Henderson and Murray, and break this down.
If he's on, though, WVU could be in trouble. Kane has a height advantage (6-4 to Staten's 6-1) and will look to post up the Mountaineer.
It's a contrast in styles. Kane plays hard, can pass - he might be MU's only pure passer - but isn't a true point guard. Staten, meanwhile, is a strong, true point guard with speed and a better handle on the ball. On offense, Staten will try to penetrate. On defense, he'll pressure you like mad.
Edge: Kane.
Scarver, though, has converted just 35 of 88 (39.8 percent) of his field goal attempts. Hinds has taken less than half as many shots (41), but has at least hit 43.9 percent.
Again, a contrast. Hinds is a slasher with more speed than Scarver. The Mountaineer will try to get by MU's guard on offense and hope to pester with quickness on defense. Scarver is not a great defender.
Edge: Hinds.
Pittman is Marshall's No. 2 scoring threat. He's long, athletic and runs the floor well. At 6-9, he's explosive to the rim, yet is a decent 3-point shooter, hitting 39.3 percent from beyond the arc.
It will be a tough defensive assignment for WVU's 6-3 freshman. Yet Pittman will also have to go out and guard Henderson on the perimeter. The Mountaineer is a bouncy, athletic player who seems to be his team's best outside threat. His inexperience, however, could hurt in such an intense environment.
Edge: Pittman.
And understand this: West Virginia will absolutely have to guard 6-8 Tinnon, who can pick and pop. The Thundering Herd senior is strong, runs well in transition and rebounds well on both ends of the floor.
Miles, though, has an advantage with his quickness and has been playing more confidently of late. He's second on WVU's team in steals and has a wingspan that could prove troublesome to Tinnon.
Edge: Miles.
Spikes, a senior, presents a strong body who can face you up. Murray can't afford to let the Thundering Herd player get deep in the post position.
Murray, meanwhile, is a long junior who can run and bother shots around the rim. He has a nice, soft shot and will force Spikes to go out and guard him, which should prove interesting.
Edge: Murray.
BENCHES - Marshall will get some bench help from guard Chris Martin and 6-8 Jamir Hanner, who has shown some offensive prowess of late, but WVU's main concern will be 6-9 Robert Goff, who apparently is recovered from a concussion.
The Thundering Herd, meanwhile, might have to deal with a bevy of WVU reserves that could include 6-9 Kilicli, a powerful, yet foul-prone center. Huggins will have Gary Browne, Matt Humphrey, Dom Rutledge, Aaron Brown and Eron Harris at his disposal.
Edge: WVU.
Trying to make a call on this game is almost folly. It should be ugly. It should be tight. It might be a foul-a-palooza.
But if DMX can sing "Rudolph," I can make a call.
In the end, West Virginia wears down Marshall and wins 67-63.

(The Cardinal Nation Show) -- The Cardinals got back two key players today, activating both Jon Jay and Matt Carpenter from the 15-day disabled list. To make room the team optioned first baseman Matt Adams and outfielder Adron Chambers to Memphis (AAA).
Jay had been on the disabled list since May 16, missing 35 games. He batted .429 (3-for-7) with a homer, triple and 3 RBI in his two-game injury rehabilitation stint with Memphis. The left-handed hitting outfielder was batting .343 with 2 homers, 8 RBI and 4 stolen bases in 27 games to begin the 2012 season for St. Louis.
Matt Carpenter enjoyed a 3-for-3 game with a homer and 3 RBI for Springfield (AA) last night, concluding his injury rehabilitation assignment. He appeared in three games with Memphis and two games with Springfield during his rehabilitation from a right oblique strain that forced him to miss 27 games after being disabled on May 23. The left-handed hitting Carpenter was batting .288 with 3 homers and 20 RBI in 39 games played at the time of his injury and he had manned first base in 18 of his 24 games started.
