The wispy white vapour is steam, from the cooling towers, as harmless as what comes out of a boiling kettle.
The tall stack is the Exhaust Stack, emitting mostly invisible harmless natural gases:
– nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and argon.
They all came from the atmosphere in the first place.
Is Coal Dirty?
Some Facts on Coal Combustion by Viv Forbes assisted by volunteer editors.
Keywords: coal, combustion, pollution, SOX, NOX, mercury, termites, wetlands, volcanoes, sacred cows, electricity costs, solar, wind, carbon trading, consensus, sustainability, censorship.
A print-ready copy of this issue of "Carbon Sense" can be downloaded from CARBON SENSE
We are winning the war about Man-made Global Warming but about half of the population still think that the carbon tax will do some good. Why? It is all about "cleaning up dirty coal energy".
The seeds of public concern were sewn with Penny Wong's Machiavellian linking of "carbon" and "pollution". She was assisted by the gross stupidity of the coal industry leadership in promoting nonsense like carbon sequestration as a "clean coal" option. The public naturally assumed "if they need to spend billions to produce "clean coal", obviously we are now using "dirty coal". This generation of coal industry leaders is more culpable than the greens – they should have known better – they have betrayed their shareholders, their employees and the nation.
The whole "dirty coal" program was assisted by the continual portrayal by alarmist media and government propagandists of power station cooling towers belching "pollution". As carbon dioxide is an invisible gas, this is clearly a lie. What is seen are clouds of water vapour with no more pollution potential than wispy white cumulus clouds or boiling dark nimbus thunder-heads.
The climax of this all was a letter published in the Queensland Times of Ipswich, a town founded on coal mining, describing carbon dioxide as "one of many lethal pollutants released by coal combustion".
What are the facts on coal combustion?
When we burn any carbon fuel such as coal, oil, wood, gas, grass, candle sticks, cardboard or cow manure, it produces several gases. Burning a typical Australian thermal coal in air would produce mainly nitrogen (68%), carbon dioxide (21%), water vapour (7%), oxygen (1%), argon (1%) and ash (2%).
So 98% by weight of coal combustion products (the first five) are natural gases merely being recycled to the atmosphere from whence they came. None are toxic. All are invisible except for water vapour.
To describe carbon dioxide as a "lethal air pollutant" is an irresponsible lie – it is surprising to see such rubbish in print. Carbon dioxide is the most important and essential atmospheric plant food, without which there would be no plants, no herbivores (which live on plants), and no carnivores (which live on herbivores).
Our coal is simply another form of trees and plants that grew in Australian soils in a previous era. Ash is unburnt mineral matter that comes naturally from the soil and should go back there. Almost all of the ash is now captured in modern coal fired power stations, but is released freely in bush fires, barbeques, wood stoves, cow manure cookers and open air cremations. Coal ash is often used as an additive in cement manufacture.
Soot is a product of incomplete combustion and is not produced in modern, well-designed power stations. It is no more dangerous than burnt toast.
It is true that some coals can produce some SOX (oxides of sulphur) and NOX (oxides of nitrogen) but these are caught in modern filters and cleaners. Only small traces enter the air. They could be annoying, and would be dangerous if concentrated in city air, but EVERY normal component of coal is an essential plant nutrient, and far from being invariably toxic, is often in short supply in the broader environment. Anyone who raises crops or animals often needs to supplement soils, pastures or animal feeds with nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium to name a few.
Some coals contain more impurities than others because natural ground-waters or gases circulating through the underground strata containing coal seams has left traces of their passing in tiny deposits of things like pyrite (iron sulphide) or in rare cases even arseno-pyrite (iron-arsenic sulphide). Coals containing these impurities attract price penalties in the market, are banned in some cities and modern scrubbers and catalytic converters are very efficient at removing them.
The few coal combustion products that are genuinely toxic, such as mercury or arsenic, occur rarely and in tiny quantities. If present, special filters are used to ensure they are not released. Australian coals are generally very low in mercury, indeed lower than in the average earth environment. Naturally occurring rocks containing mercury (as found at Cinnabar in Queensland), dental amalgams and the new "green" fluoro light bulbs represent a far greater mercury danger.
But the main products of coal combustion, carbon dioxide and water, are not pollutants and not toxic.
In Earth's long history, today's level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is very low and the green world will benefit greatly from any additional carbon dioxide we add to the atmosphere. That is why nurserymen add carbon dioxide to their greenhouses.
Here is a detailed report on coal combustion products:

Coal is Still King:
Taxing Termites, Wetlands, Volcanoes & Sacred Cows?
Australia's tax on carbon dioxide now applies to big power stations, rubbish tips, steel works, cement plants, refineries and coal mines. But many of them have been given exemptions or compensation packages. Naturally they will pass all net costs onto consumers, but our government says that most voters will be compensated and will feel no pain. So it all looks like achieving a net nothing.
Carbon dioxide is produced whenever animal or vegetable matter is burnt, digested or rots. So when do we start taxing the big-time emitters such as termites? There are trillions of them quietly munching their way through timber, dead trees and grass. Then we have all the rice paddies, swamps and wetlands emitting that other dastardly natural gas, the Will-o-the-Wisp, methane. And who is going to chase India's 280 million sacred cows with gas collection bags?
Termite Nests NT Australia.
Picture by Chris Gregory 1957
Mother Earth is also a huge "carbon polluter". Will we have a "Red Adair" putting caps on Earth's 1,500 active volcanoes? Or will BP be hired to drop blow-out protectors over the 139,000 sub-marine volcanoes?
Chilean Volcano – No filters for ash, NOX or SOX here.
And no Carbon Emission Permits.
Volcanoes and carbon dioxide:
It is obvious that the whole war on carbon is futile and will have no measurable effect on Earth's atmosphere or Australia's climate. It's just a wealth redistribution and control caper.
Four Steps to Cheaper Electricity.
We are told that the carbon tax will allow the market to determine how to best reduce the use of carbon fuels but we still have a thicket of bureaucratic rules, subsidies and mandates driving up the cost of electricity. This is not the market reacting to a simple tax.If politicians were honest about reducing costs for Australian households and tax payers, four steps are required:
First, abolish all rules forcing electricity retailers to buy a mandated percentage of their power from expensive and unreliable sources such as wind and solar.
Second, abolish all rules forcing electricity retailers and consumers to pay above market prices for green energy, whether they want it or not.
Third, abolish the carbon tax and all the subsidies, compensation, exemptions and compliance costs associated with it. This money merry-go-round increases costs and taxes and achieves nothing useful.
Finally, boycott those shameless electricity retailers who have actively spread the green energy myths knowing that this will increase electricity prices while simultaneously requiring more gas back-up, thus benefitting their own gas interests.on-sens2008/08/04/clearing-the-smog/
Solar Energy Dims and Wind Power Runs out of Puff
During 2012 over 5,000 German solar companies have gone broke, losing 25 billion euros and thousands of green energy jobs. As austerity hits the green subsidy industry, more will follow. Read More
Wind energy is also totally dependent on subsidies and market sharing mandates for survival. Here in Australia it is said that the union super funds have $3 billion invested in Pacific Hydro, almost 10 per cent of their entire portfolio. Pacific Hydro would collapse if the MRET scheme was repealed. Maybe that explains the strident support for wind subsidies in some quarters. More here and here
The Measure of our Stupidity
"In 2011, the global carbon trading market climbed to a record US$176 billion – about the same as global wheat production".
This is surely an indicator of a western world gone mad. We invest more in ration cards for hot air than is invested in the world's most important staple food. It must have felt like this in the latter days of Rome. More here
The Last Word – the Consensus is Destroyed
The TV news on Carbon Tax Sunday (1 July 2012) illustrated our successful destruction of "The Consensus". The reports I saw all showed snaps of the "Axe the Tax" Rallies, and even the ABC showed a glimpse of a protest rally and described the new carbon tax legislation as "controversial".
Protest News:
A poll taken in Australia on Carbon Sunday showed 64% against the tax and only 33% for despite the flood of bribes, scare stories and propaganda spread like confetti from government spruikers. Read about it here
We are now in good company. More than 1000 international scientists feel strongly enough to put their names on a list of consensus deniers. Full story at Climate Depot
Compare this to the so called IPCC Consensus: 75 Scientists is not a consensus
Few people still believe the global warming story, but they will still support the carbon tax for two reasons:
First, they hope and believe they will get more compensation than they will lose in extra costs.
And second, they still feel guilty and want to do something to "save the polar bears" and "reduce pollution" (as long as it does not cost too much).
Tony Abbot has done a great job to draw attention to the "Great Big New Tax", but has a big credibility problem for two reasons – exaggeration about the effects that will be seen immediately, and a policy that in fact supports the global warming story and just wants to combat it a different way. Most Liberals are just a lighter shade of green. The Liberal policy of direct action is just another way to waste our substance on a greedy green industry.
Much of the damage of the carbon tax will not be seen – who can point to the airbus that was NOT bought, the railway line NOT built or the processing plant built in China instead of in Bendigo. The biggest long term damage will NOT be seen. Our children will be worse off but no one will ever know why.
Finally, in case "Carbon Pollution" fails to deliver us, in chains, to the UN bureaucracy, they have two new weapons being test fired – "Sustainability", and "Bio-Diversity".
Imagine governments who preside over of whole empires of sick nationalised subsidised industries trying to lecture tax payers on "Sustainability".
"Peak Oil" has proved a fizzer once again, despite all the efforts of people like Obama and his energy Czar to stop oil drilling and construction of pipelines, but "Overpopulation" is due for a new run.
Every decent war is accompanied by censorship, and the war on carbon is no different. If they had their way, Climate Commissioner Flannery, Government Guru Garnaut and their CSIRO lap-dog would determine who may, and may not, say what in the Great Climate Debate. And "Carbon Sense" may be required to provide space for alternative comments by the alarmist camp.
See: "The forbidden history of unpopular people". Quirky title but a great video presentation:
The battle continues. Please help us spread the word.

The Albuquerque Isotopes did not intend to open up their 12-game homestand with a 12-inning game. It just worked out that way Monday night, and luckily for the Isotopes they pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Salt Lake Bees.
"It sounds all right now that we won it," manager Damon Berryhill said with a weary smile. The Isotopes (14-10) were coming off an eight-game road trip in which they went 4-4, but never went to extra innings.
Miguel Rojas started the 12th by reaching on an fielding error by shortstop Grant Green. Chone Figgins followed with a double to right-center, but the ball hung up just long to delay Rojas on the basepaths and he could only get to third.
The Bees (9-16) intentionally walked Joc Pederson, who was 3-for-4, to load the bases. Jamie Romak, who was 0-for-4, stepped up and got the count in his favor 3-1. Romak then fouled off three straight pitches before finally lining a single into shallow center field, scoring Rojas and ending the game after 3 hours, 57 minutes.
"We had a chance in the 10th to push the winning run across and didn't get it done," Berryhill said. "We had a runner at third and Jamie didn't get it done the first time up. He came up with a big hit for us."
The dramatic ending came long after a solid performance by Albuquerque starter Henry Sosa, who tossed seven scoreless innings before he was charged two runs in the eighth. Sosa scattered five hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
"It's a bummer for Sosa, he pitched a great ballgame," Berryhill said. "We ended up giving that lead away. We came back, put a run back up to tie it up and ended up pushing it to 12."
Pederson snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run single in the fifth inning. Sosa continued to cruise from there until he gave up a pair of singles with one out in the eighth, at which point the Isotopes pulled him and turned to Daniel Moskos.
Moskos walked Matt Long on four pitches to load the bases. Albuquerque (14-10) brought in Josh Judy, but he promptly gave up a bases-clearing triple to Green that put Salt Lake ahead 3-2.
"Judy ended up elevating a fastball with the bases loaded and really kind of hit it in the one place you could hit in the park," Berryhill said. "He hit it good, but the wind took it and carried it down into the corner."
The Isotopes were able to tie it up in the bottom of the frame. Pederson singled with one out, went to second on a wild pitch, stole third base and then scored on Clint Robinson's sacrifice fly.
"I'm proud of the way our guys came right back and tied it up," Berryhill said. "We had opportunities after that. We finally came up in the 12th and got it done."
Judy went 2.1 innings for Albuquerque, followed by two scoreless innings from Jose Dominguez, who struck out four batters. The long outings for the duo preserved the rest of the bullpen.
The Isotopes and Bees will meet again Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. Lefty Justin Thomas (1-2, 6.53 ERA) will oppose Albuquerque right-hander Red Patterson (1-1, 4.15).
Around the Lab
Dominguez was added to the active roster before the game. He had been sent down by the Dodgers on Sunday. ... To make room for Dominguez, reliever Justin Souza was transferred to the Ogden roster, meaning he will remain in Albuquerque but is technically inactive.

On March 3 The Epoch Times shares a bit of information on casting from Kurt Sutter for the final season of "Sons of Anarchy."
While fans already knew that Drea de Matteo was promoted to series regular along with Jimmy Smits, a couple of other characters have been demoted to limited roles due to their other engagements. CCH Pounder and Kim Dickens will both only be in two to four episodes each because of other commitments. This means that there will likely be less of Jax as well since these two leading ladies were a big part of his life in the last season.
Peter Weller will have a more reoccurring role as Charles Barosky. He will also be directing a couple of episodes again this final season.
Kurt Sutter also explains that there will be new cast members joining for the final season, mainly law enforcement. However, he says that new law enforcement doesn't necessarily mean a new sheriff because that's already been done with Eli. How that will play out in the end is still undetermined.
So far, there is no official premiere date for the final season of "Sons of Anarchy" however, it will likely be in the fall, September specifically, as all the previous seasons have been.

North of Chatfield Reservoir in Littleton, CO lies a quaint enclosed dog park called Wynetka Ponds Bark Park. While this particular dog park may not present as much open space or scenery as some other larger local parks, it offers a unique opportunity for both pets and owners to socialize and play. The park consists of two separate enclosures, although one side is closed at a time for re-vegetation. This allows the park to stay in quality condition and prevents any long-term damage from occurring.
Each section contains benches, tables, trashcans and baggy-posts for poop clean-up. Trashcans and baggy-posts are also scattered throughout the trail entrance to the park in order to prevent any unwanted waste. There is not a separate section in this park for smaller dogs, so be aware that the mutts playing come in all shapes, sizes, and ages.
While the Bark Park is easy to see from Bowles Ave, the entrance itself is not as easy to find. The parking lot for Wynetka Ponds is located off Lowell Blvd. on the west side if the street. There is an entrance sign for Wynetka Ponds that leads you straight up to the parking lot. From the lot, there are two paths leading into the recreational park. The trail to the left with a baggie-post leads to the dog park, while the trail to the right leads you to scenic walking paths. Please note that leash laws do apply to this area outside of the Bark Park.
There can be upwards of forty-plus dogs playing at any time, however this is not typical during the colder seasons. While the park is generally well maintained, there is no preventing some muddy conditions in the winter. It is encouraged that you dress accordingly for the weather and ground conditions. It is also a good idea to bring a towel or rag of some sort for your dog in the car. Playful pooches often come home with muddy paws, spit-covered coats and foaming mouths (a sign of a good time).
Wynetka Ponds Bark Park, while not the largest or most extravagant, offers a unique environment for friendly people, playful pooches and great experiences.
Bark Park Location:
Lowell Blvd. and W. Bowles Ave. in Littleton, CO

On Sunday night The Fillmore was packed with people of what seemed like all ages patiently awaiting the return of Neon Trees to the Detroit stage.
The set was extravagant and the lighting was fantastic; singer Tyler Glenn had quite the dramatic entrance, appearing at the top of the stairs decked out in a yellow suit holding a microphone decorated with pink dots while fog was swirling around him.
Glenn's voice is incredibly unique and my god can he sing. As has been said before he has a few signature dance moves, the main one being the toe-tipper, where he gets up on his toes like a pointe ballet dancer.
See the full photo gallery here!
Bassist Branden Campbell had an incredibly flashy guitar, guitarist Chris Allen had a matte blue guitar that matched is stylish velvet blazer, and drummer Elaine Bradley was lit so well she looked like a queen.
Neon Trees' set list started out with a tune from previous album Picture Show called "Lessons In Love" followed by a great one from the band's debut album Habits called "Your Surrender."
They broke from the oldies for an infectious piece from newly released album Pop Psychology entitled "Love In The 21st Century," followed by smash hit single "Animal" that got everyone in the room dancing.
The majority of the rest of the show included tracks off Pop Psychology (this tour was, after all, called the Pop Psychology Tour) with a cover of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind" thrown into the mix, along with a few tunes likes "Trust" and "Mad Love" from Picture Show. And of course the band closed out their set with the anticipated current single "Sleeping With A Friend."
Neon Trees were called back on stage for an encore and a giant pink brain was inflated at the top of the stairs, resembling the brain on the cover of the band's new album. The encore marked Glenn's third outfit change but the pink he was no wearing perfectly matched the pink brain.
The band surprised everybody when preceding single "Everybody Talks" did not mark the end of the show, and went on to end with new tune "First Things First."
This band is just fantastic. They were great tour support for Neon Trees; their songs are absolutely infectious, and while singer Sean Scanlon spends the majority of his time behind his keyboard, he stepped out for a bit during a new song to greet the crowd at the barricade and was received with incredibly open arms.

Nightmare and the Cat:
Hailing from London this band is onto something; check out their single "Undercover." You wouldn't think this band would be as fun as they are live. Singer Django Stewart is full of hair flips and definitely utilizes his stage space.

Bill Nye: Creationism Threatens U.S. Science.
"If we raise a generation of students who don't believe in the process of science, who think everything that we've come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, you're not going to continue to innovate."
This is probably the greatest threat to US and one so easily overlooked in this mad season of the presidential election. Already 46% of Americans do not believe in evolution. If this number goes northwards, US can forget about being the economic super power that it still is. Because if you don't have innovation, what do you have US?

I amongst many other people in this state cannot understand what CT DCF is doing, well besides ripping families apart. They want to pressure you…. but they cannot handle the pressure back, the best thing you can do is educate yourself. CT DCF is only as smart as you let them. If you let you in your home, talk to them, it will all be switched around same with your world. Yes, there are children that are in need of protection from some very bad homes, but they seem to care more about doing less work, and putting your family in a place you do not ant to be in. CT DCF workers are NOT looking for any good, they switch your words around, they lie to your face.
CT DCF, hmm, well it has been proven that more children die in the care of CT DCF than in their home. They are abused, neglected, molested. And they assume because these so called foster homes are approved, inspected, so why check on the children. This is where all of the abuse is going on. and everyone just seems to turn a blind eye. Although, things will be changing for the CT DCF, more and more people are becoming aware, more and more are climbing the ladder to people who will listen to how CT DCF works, and that's not working. So I know the day is coming that justice and CT DCF will meet. A major class action suit is building, as I have heard. See advocacy groups are going to Washington, and advocacy groups have so much information and are powerful. CT DCF workers, should we start judging your family? Or think maybe it be one of your children being killed, molested, abused…. you never think it will happen to you….
I just learned the other day that many of the CT DCF workers are doing illegal things. Watch the news, the wind will blow their way, all things come clean in the wash……..

In a Feb. 1 Washington Post article, Rachel Weiner reports that Virginia pet owners may soon be allowed to share their eternal rest with beloved pets. A bill placed before the General Assembly this year by State Del. Israel O'Quinn, a young Republican lawmaker, would change the law reserving Virginia cemeteries for only human remains.
The article quotes Tom Rakoczy, a retired police officer who said, "Our dogs are our family. We're all created by God. And there's no reason that we cannot be together at our final resting place."
The idea came from Farris Funeral Service of Abdingdon, a third-generation business and the owners of the plot that Rakoczy hopes will be his – and his dogs' – final resting place.
"My family's been in the funeral business since 1918, and we've been in the cemetery business since 1984," said Kelly Farris, co-owner with his brother. They have set aside some land for the "Garden of Loyalty," with a waiting list of 25.
Why reserve cemetery space for only human remains? Apparently, some humans are averse to the idea of being buried beside an animal. For that reason, O'Quinn emphasized that no animals would be buried next to anyone who does not want them. Any human-pet burials would be in separate but adjacent plots segregated from traditional gravesites.
"Most states are either silent on the issue or they have very specific laws that they don't allow it," said Poul Lemasters, a funeral industry lawyer who consults on pet burial.
New York recently allowed human ashes to be buried in pet cemeteries, and it's legal in New Jersey as well. The article names only one place in the country where a person can be buried whole with his or her pet: Hillcrest Memorial Park in Pennsylvania. A cemetery outside Baltimore, Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens, performs pet and human burials, but the pets are buried in separate plots, at their owners' feet, in a section closed off from traditional burials.
Perhaps soon some Virginia cemeteries can add their names to this short list of open-minded establishments.

College Hockey:River Hawks, Terriers Skate to Draw
LOWELL, Mass. — An offensive opening turned into a defensive battle as Boston University netminder Sean Fields and Massachusetts-Lowell goaltender Chris Davidson combined for 57 saves in a 3-3 tie before 2,762 at the Tsongas Arena.
Mass.-Lowell took three points from the No. 10 Terriers on the weekend following a 3-1 win in Boston the night before.
"It was a game that both teams played well in spurts, at times not executing as well as they should have," said Mass.-Lowell head coach Blaise MacDonald. "We were concentrating on playing hard, which we did. As the game went on, we felt more comfortable playing against such a strong team in BU. Overall, getting three out of four points has to be considered a successful weekend for us."
The tone of the contest was set early on, as both teams battled from the opening face-off for control of the game. Boston University looked to have the best chance to open the scoring midway through the period when Frantisek Skladany and Brad Zancanaro broke into the UML zone on a two-on-one play, with Zancanaro streaking to the net. Although he was all alone at the left post with a wide open net in front of him, Zancanaro didn't get enough of the puck to put it home, as it trickled just wide and kept the game scoreless.
The River Hawks looked primed to put a goal on the scoreboard late in the period, as the Terriers were assessed a major penalty. The Terriers didn't seem to know that they were supposed to be killing a power play though, scoring the game's first goal shorthanded. Gregg Johnson skated into the zone on a two-on-one with Matt Radoslovich trailing on his right. Johnson dished the puck off to Radoslovich, who then one-timed a shot from the right face-off dot that beat Davidson high at 15:01.
Mass.-Lowell responded before the end of the period to tie the game at 1-1. Ben Walter picked the puck off deep in the Terrier zone and wristed a shot past Fields from the right side low at 17:02.
The River Hawks took the lead early on in the second period as Mark Pandolfo scored his second goal in as many games at 2:21. Linemate Todd Fletcher passed the puck from behind the net to a wide-open Pandolfo in front, and Pandolfo used the opportunity wisely, putting UML up 2-1. For Pandolfo, it was his sixth career goal, three of which have come against BU.
"We came in with a good forecheck, and Todd Fletcher rolled off the defenseman and saw me out front," said Pandolfo. "I was all alone, he got the puck to me, and I put it underneath Fields."
BU turned the course of the game in its favor moments later, as Ryan Whitney buried a blast from the slot at 3:04 of the second. The Terriers then regained the lead at 13:19 when Dan Spang tallied his third goal of the season.
UML hung tough, tying the game at 3-3 with the final goal of the game at 15:59. Elias Godoy sent the puck from the right-side dasher inside the BU zone across the ice to Chris Fontas, who one-touched a feed out to Jerramie Domish at the left side face-off circle. Domish let fly a high shot that beat Fields stick-side.
The Terriers had the territorial advantage in the third period, outshooting the River Hawks 12-6. For as many opportunities as BU created, Davidson was equal to the task, and the game went to the extra frame. Overtime saw UML with a dominant advantage, posting a 4-0 shot advantage, but Fields stole the show, gloving the best chance for UML to win it out of the air with only minutes remaining.
Davidson made a total of 28 saves for Mass.-Lowell, the same amount he made the night before, while Fields stopped a total of 29 shots, including 12 in the first period. The power play saw some success for the Terriers, as they were 1-for-3, while the River Hawks were unable to convert on any of their four chances.
"It was a great hockey game. If we had played like that last night, we would be the ones coming away with three points instead of UMass Lowell," said Boston University head coach Jack Parker.
"We wound up playing shorthanded in the game, after losing Brad Zancanaro (game misconduct) and David Van der Gulik (injury) early on; we were only rolling three lines. I thought our guys gave us a good effort, and that's what we look for every night."
On Tuesday, Mass.-Lowell (5-4-3, 3-3-1 HE) will travel to face No. 4 New Hampshire, while No. 10 BU (3-3-3, 2-3-2 HE) will play a Beanpot tune-up match at No. 13 Harvard. Both games are slated for a 7:00 p.m. start.

Have you ever read a novel where the POV (point of view) character doesn't seem to be the correct one?
I have, but not often. Generally, I agree with the author's choice of whose eyes the story comes through. On rare occasions, I wonder why the author chose to use a particular version of that person's point of view (as in first person, third person...).
And once in awhile, I don't like the POV character at all. When that's the case, I put the book down.
How do you keep your
readers involved and "in the know" at all the right places? By
carefully deciding whose story it is you're writing, and whose eyes will
tell each scene the best.
Dick Francis is a champion writer of crime fiction. (He was also, for years, a champion jockey, which is why I started reading his stuff.) Nearly all of his books are written in first person POV.
I've heard other authors putting down those who use first person, as if it's elementary and childish. On the one hand, it might seem to be easier to write that way. But if you stop and think about it, first person can be quite difficult to do and do well. Dick Francis definitely does it well.
You have to keep to only one person's perspective throughout the entire book. And if he or she misses an important scene? You have to decide how else you can get that needed information into your novel.
Clever use of the POV character's friends and family might solve this issue. Just be sure you don't accidentally slip into their thoughts while you let readers know what the main character missed.
This close viewpoint can be the
perfect match for your novel, as long as we don't need to hear anyone
else's thoughts, or see any scenes the point-of-view character is not
in. How do you determine if this works for
your novel?
By trying it. Literally write a scene (or ten) in this perspective. If it's
flowing well, you've got a match. If you're missing vital information, try another method.
So, if you're reading on, you've ruled out first person POV. For the most part, unless you choose omniscient viewpoint, you'll be using third person. (Remember, second person is hard to pull off well.)
Now you need to decide which character or characters tell the story best. If you use third person limited, you'll be mainly in one head throughout the novel, just like first person. However, you can add narrative bits and thoughts from another character, as long as you don't jump around in the middle of a scene. Each scene must be from only one person's point of view.
With third person POV, you can have as many viewpoints as you wish, as long as you follow that golden rule: One viewpoint per scene!
How do you know whose eyes the scene should be seen through? By choosing the character who has the most to lose from that particular scene.
Here's an example scene written first from the
"best friend's" perspective, then put into the protagonist's viewpoint.
Read both, then decide which has more impact.
Kelly's hand lingered on the phone she'd just hung up. She wondered if Sarah would remember, tomorrow morning. Remember who she was and why she lived out there now. Alone.
Without Ethan.
Wondered if she'd even remember there had been an Ethan.
Kelly knew Sarah would get ready for bed now. Routines helped her remember more come morning. She'd put everything in it's place while her mind was clear enough to do so.
If she didn't, her Australian shepherd mix dog, Sakoya, would nudge her to remember. Would lead her to the photo album and the notes Kelly had painstakingly made to help Sarah cope on her own.
Sighing, Kelly began her own evening routine. Making notes on the calendar on her laptop to call Sarah after lunch tomorrow. Remind her of her meeting with Mountain Magic.
Sakoya couldn't do things like that for her master. No way to program a dog to bark reminders at 1:00 pm.
If only Ethan had been driving last winter. He'd been so much better than Sarah. Maybe none of this would have happened if he'd been driving. Maybe they'd still be living close enough for Kelly to pop in unannounced and have a giggle session with her best friend.
Instead of worrying whether that best friend would remember who she was when she woke in the morning.
if the story is about Kelly (which it isn't), this is fine. Or if Kelly
knows something the reader needs to know that is revealed in this scene
(she doesn't), it's also fine. But let's see Sarah's POV now, since the story is about her.
Hanging up the phone after her nightly call from Kelly, Sarah wondered if she'd remember, tomorrow morning. Remember who she was and why she lived out here now. Alone.
Shivering, she pulled the barrettes from her hair, set them on the dresser and shook her strawberry blond curls out. No. She should put them where they belonged, or tomorrow, she'd spend a fruitless hour wondering where she had laid them down.
And clever as Sakoya was, her Australian shepherd mix dog wouldn't have a clue where Sarah had set the stupid things.
Sighing, she trod to the bathroom, put them in their drawer and went back to the bedroom, flipping the switch off as she did. The note was on the mirror. If she forgot, it would be there to remind her. The graphic design project for Mountain Magic was due tomorrow afternoon. The meeting was at 3:00.
And Kelly had promised to call her at 1:00, as another reminder. Man, how she wished Kelly could live near her. She missed her best friend horribly. When she remembered her.
If only Ethan had been driving last winter. He'd been so much better than her. Then they'd never have…
She bit her tongue, wishing the memory lapses had wiped out that particular memory.
Sakoya sniffed her hand as she passed the dog bed, maybe sensing Sarah's mood. Then, with a tongue-lolling, doggy grin, she turned twice and curled up in her corner. Sarah smiled and climbed into her own bed, grateful. She was tired.
No need to worry. Sakoya would remind her if she forgot. She'd drag the silly photo album to her if need be, full of the pictures and Kelly's wonderful notes about what her life had been. Could have been.
Sarah sighed again. Eventually, she slept.
Because the novel is about Sarah, the second version of the scene has more impact. Sarah has more to lose than Kelly.
since Kelly's her best friend, it's likely some scenes will be written
from her perspective, too. And perhaps one other character's POV will
show up.
I'm not sure yet. It's only a bare-bones story idea.
now you can see how POV can make a difference in a scene and in a
novel. So think hard and play around a bit until you're sure you have
your novel written in the best possible single or multiple point of view for
that story.

Women's Basketball Downs Fordham, 65-54, At The Mullins Center
Jan. 16, 2005
AMHERST, Mass. - Freshman Pam Rosanio (Southampton, Pa.) scored a career-high 19 points as the University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (10-6 overall, 3-2 A-10) defeated Fordham (4-13, 0-4), 65-54, Sunday afternoon at the Mullins Center. The Minutewomen scored 22 points off 16 Fordham turnovers and had 13 steals. Senior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) also added 16 points, eight rebounds and a career-high seven steals for the Minutewomen.
The Minutewomen started off the game on a 7-2 run. They led by as many as six early on, but Fordham came back to take a lead, 18-15, with 11:03 left. UMass then turned up the defensive pressure and took the lead back for good. When the score was tied at 20 with 8:57 left, the Minutewomen went on an 11-1 run over the next 2:57 to take their largest lead of the game, 32-21. During the run, Campbell had four steals which turned into three lay-ups and a pair of free throws. Fordham cut into the lead a little bit and UMass held a six-point advantage, 34-28, at halftime.
Massachusetts then started the second half on a 10-2 run to re-claim its double-digit lead. Fordham was unable to get any closer than nine points the rest of the way and UMass went above the .500 mark in A-10 play for the first time this season.
Rosanio had her 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field. She was 3-for-4 from three-point range and 4-for-5 at the free throw line. Campbell was also 6-for-9 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. Redshirt junior Katie Nelson (Ellicott City, Md.) had nine points on 3-of-6 three-point shooting and dished out six assists. Sophomore Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario), Campbell and redshirt junior Patrycja Gulak (Olsztyn, Poland) each grabbed eight rebounds.
UMass shot 38 percent from the field, while Fordham connected at a 35 percent rate. The Minutewomen had 16 assists on their 21 field goals and out-rebounded Fordham, 45-30. UMass also shot 71 percent from the free throw line.

Cheryl Cole attacks love rat ex hubby Ashley in new song
Submitted by Kiran Pahwa on Fri, 05/25/2012 - 14:56
London, May 25 : Cheryl Cole has reportedly hit out at her cheating ex husband Ashley Cole, by releasing a song about her bitter split with the Chelsea ace, in which she sings about how much he hurt her.
The 28-year-old singer unleashed her new tune `Love Killer' on the web.
Fans instantly knew it was a public attack on the footie star for cheating on the popstar.
On the pop track she claims that her ex was the "worst drug".
She rants: "You gave me butterflies and then you shot `em down straight out the sky.
"I'm in love with a love killer."
She then goes on to tell the footballer he made her "heart take off" before "kicking it to the ground".
She sings: "Assassinate my dreams, you're nothing but cold.
"But baby I just know that no-one in the world can love you if I don't."
"It's clearly about Ashley," the Daily Star quoted an insider as saying.
"And it's the first time we've really seen Cheryl's full fury over what happened.
"He and the rest of the world now know exactly how she feels," the source added. (ANI)

My studio is in a large, charmingly aged industrial space in an old hangar on the Alameda Naval Air Base. The building is at the end of a runway that extends south into the heart of San Francisco Bay.
The industrial capacity of the site, combined with the privacy and central view of the Bay Area, make for an incredible working environment. The material qualities and patina of the space mesh well with my work, which gets done via long days, late nights, loud music, and heavy-duty machinery.

I read a post on Facebook earlier today about another proposed Ethane Cracker Plant to be built in Institute, West Virginia, and I wondered if my blog readers actually knew what an Ethane Cracker plant was and why it is important in the shale gas boom. I found this information as I was reading up about the new West Virginia plant on the Shell webiste (http://tinyurl.com/6hnr5o8). I thought you might find the following tidbits helpful in your quest for knowledge about this new industry moving into western Pennsylvania. If you are in the manufacturing field and would like to see how you can make a splash in the Marcellus Shale boom, consider attending SMC's upcoming Shale Gas & Manufacturing Forum on June 27th at the Four Points by Sheraton in Cranberry Township, from 8:30 – 11:45 p.m. To register for this event, go to: http://www.smc.org/event-shalegas2012.
What Does an Ethane Cracker Plant Do and Why Is it Important?
- A cracker breaks down large molecules from oil and natural gas into smaller ones. An ethylene cracker produces base petrochemical "building blocks" which are the first stage in the chemicals manufacturing chain.
- Derivatives are the chemicals that are made during subsequent processing stages, using products from the cracker. Polyethylene is a derivative of ethylene.
- Shell owns and operates four petrochemical crackers in the US at Deer Park, Texas and Norco, Louisiana.
- Natural gas companies have to remove Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) from methane to make it "pipeline quality." NGLs are made up of ethane, propane, butane and other compounds. These can be used as feedstock to produce chemicals. Propane and butane are types of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and can also be used as fuels.
- Ethylene is a very important base chemical in the chemical and plastics industries. Ethane is a feedstock for ethylene.

The current war on women being waged by Republicans at the behest of extremist Christians who object to contraception is escalating to a fever pitch with Rush Limbaugh's entrance. Despite the calls for Republicans to speak out and condemn Limbaugh's disgusting remarks impugning a college co-ed's character, the conservatives who started the assault are silent. It should not be surprising the Republicans are quiet because Limbaugh is parroting what the vile, bible-inspired Republicans believe in private. They are no doubt reveling that finally, someone is saying what their legislative assault on women really implies.
At the start of the 112th Congress, Republicans began redefining rape and in Republican-controlled legislatures they are legalizing rape-by-instrument to teach women that they have never been in control of their own bodies. Limbaugh is the voice of the Republican Party and when he calls women who use contraception sluts and prostitutes, it may as well be coming from Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and especially Roy Blunt (R-MO) who authored the amendment to allow any employer or insurance provider the right to deny any person coverage for any health issue.
There are movements calling for advertisers to drop Limbaugh, and there has been some success already, but Limbaugh will only stop when he is fired. The man thrives on the attention he is receiving and his statements ring true with most of his audience. When Limbaugh said the college coed testified before Congress and that she needs to be paid to have sex, his audience believes him. Why? They are not intelligent enough to find and listen to the testimony themselves. Limbaugh tells them what they want to hear and believe about women, and particularly college women.
The people who listen to Limbaugh are low-class, low-intelligence, and labor under low moral character or they would turn off the prurient assault on women. Don't think for a second that millions of women don't listen to Limbaugh because they do. The audience that Limbaugh appeals to depend on him to alert them to the dangers of Liberals and so-called "feminazis" whose goal is earning equal rights and they, like Limbaugh and Republicans, cannot tolerate the concept of equal rights for anyone except good, god-fearing, real Americans (white Christian males). It is true that Limbaugh is a vile human being, but without his audience and Republican support, he would have been off the air ages ago.
Women are under assault and it is not just from Rush Limbaugh. Republicans in Congress vote against gender equality in the workplace, equal pay, Violence Against Women Act, and the right to choose reproductive health as a matter-of-course, and they show no signs of letting up anytime soon. There are myriad reasons to hate Limbaugh and lay blame at his feet, but his supporters in Congress, the RNC, and his bible-clutching audience keep him in business. The assault on women's rights is just getting started and Limbaugh is an insignificant speck of dust compared to what the GOP will do to women if they get the opportunity. Limbaugh is a vile pig, but he is being fed by evil religious men who are demonstrating to America how theocracy starts.
