I'm trying to clone a WordPress installation on my local machine using Github:
I am trying to use this repository, https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git, but the problem is that this is currently giving me WordPress 3.5 beta 2. I don't want the beta, I want the latest stable build, 3.4.2.
When I go "git branch", it tells me that I only have one branch named 'master'. I tried to go 'git pull origin/3.4-branch' but it disconnects me.
Can explain please explain how I would go about this? Thanks a lot.

I wanted to try something different. I have had kiwi salad before that used kiwi, bananas and 7-Up. That one was good but this is great! I did substute and Granny Smith apple for the bell pepper. The shallots and cayenne pepper pushed the dish over the top with flavor. The apple added a wonderful crunch. I will most definitely make this again.
Banana-Kiwi Salad
From EatingWell: February/March 2006
Put away any preconceived notions of Grandma's fruit salad. This unusual combination of tropical fruit in a savory shallot vinaigrette will have you dreaming of the tropics.
2 Reviews for Banana-Kiwi Salad
I really like this salad! It made me smile when my family grinned and asked for more. The shallots are a welcome change to a fruit salad and the mint was awesome too. I didn't have a red pepper at the time (and wasn't going outside in the snow for one pepper) but I did have an apple where I replaced it. It was a fugi apple, so it may have bumped up the sweetness factor, but it was the crunch that was needed to match the subtle taste of the minced shallot. I didn't use the cashews, I'm allergic. I didn't want to substitute with any other nut. I could have used peanuts but it didn't feel right to add them. It tasted great without them, so no love was lost. I also didn't have the rice wine vinegar, so I used my pomegranate red vinegar and it was just fine.
My sister who has these unbelievable taste buds (she can guess almost any herb by taste) gave her nod of approval, so it was as success! Try it out and see for yourselves. It is great to cook with fresh vegetables and fruits and I try to use as many flavorful recipes in the winter. It may be cold and bleak outside so I try to make it warm and tropical inside!

The Future of Marriage
David Blankenhorn
Encounter Books, $25.95, 260 pp.
Just the other day, it seems, same-sex marriage was unthinkable—or even if thinkable, nonexistent, its anthropological and historical evidence rare, fragmentary, and usually explainable in other terms. Now, however, gay couples are being married or civilly united in several European countries and the United States, and criticism of same-sex marriage has become virtually unthinkable for Americans of a liberal disposition. Advocates of same-sex marriage have thoroughly appropriated the rhetoric of civil rights, nondiscrimination, and liberty, leaving others without a vocabulary to express their reservations. Caught between vociferous advocates who see themselves as successors to the civil-rights movement of the 1960s (and who tend to equate opposition with homophobia), and equally adamant opponents from the religious Right, many people of good will don't know what to say about their unease over the rapid pace of change. They don't know how to express their reservations in a way that will prevent accusations of bigotry.
The value of David Blankenhorn's The Future of Marriage [1] lies less in his debatable argument against legal recognition of same-sex marriage than in his reorientation of the debate itself, one which provides a much-needed vocabulary for principled critique and disagreement. Blankenhorn shows...

Take a razor and cut the delam out entirely, maybe even go past what you think is necessary. Buy epoxy resin from a local surf shop, do not use west marine or anything from your hardware shop. Boat resin is garbage as well. Sand the entire area and an inch and a half around your cut. Buy either milled fibers or (sh%& i forget what its called... it will come to me). Mix with epoxy and fill your gash. Sand again. Use fiberglass cloth now to cover your patch. Sand flush.
Or... take it to the professionals.

Buy Q-Cell, thats what I was thinking of. Like the previous guy said, treat this as an experiment, make the repair, you will learn something... if anything you will learn what not to do. Learning to do your own repairs will save you $$$, its easy, and your board will last longer. Next time you'll patch up any cracks immediately so no delams happen.

Even if your repair is a failure, you will learn a lot from working on the board. Maybe treat it as an experiment. BTW, doesn't the extra layer of glass make the board really heavy? In any case, I would strip off the glass from the repaired area, fill what needs to be filled, sand it as level as possible, and re-glass it. Then add a filler coat and sand and polish. It might not come out perfectly level but that's ok. Sometimes a little irregularity doesn't hurt anything. I've seen guys with boards broken in half, re-glassed together, looking gnarly and lumpy, and they still ride great.

duct tape and wax keep water out

lies...neither duct tape nor wax shoved in a ding are water repellant. clear packing tape, on the other hand, is ok...on smaller dings.
if you value your surfboard, never, ever use duct tape as a temporary repair.

Duct tape does not keep water out. My friend once had an earache so we duct taped the crap out of it. He looked funny as hell and after the surf when we undid it, it poured water out. We got a true lol out of that one.

Thanks for all the advice guys! Ya you would think the extra layer of glass would add some weight but it's actually relatively light (must be the epoxy).
So after asking for advice I got impatient and ended up going to the hardware store, buying some polyurethane, and using it for the repair. Might have been a stupid move but we'll see how it works out. I removed the delaminated area with an exacto, sanded it up, cleaned the surface with paint thinner, and used a foam brush to apply a thin layer and push it into all the cracks. I'll probably be sanding lightly and applying a second coat tonight, and maybe another the following day if necessary. This might end up being a lesson in what not to do, but it only cost $15 so here goes nothing...attached some pics below!

1) is it a polystyrene (EPS) core?
2) did you put paint thinner directly on the foam?
3) did you use polyester resin?
4) did you not use any fiberglass sheet material?
Might be able to help, maybe not.

\nDid you reglass it with some fiberglass?
\nor did you cut out the deliminated glass with the knife and just replace it with brushed on resin?

Go with the suggestion of getting another one from CL.
\nThen, give your old stick to a local bar as long as they promise to hang it in on a wall or ceiling in full view. Then you can go have a beer with the old gal whenever you miss her.

It was only the top layer of fiberglass that delaminated. The bottom layer, which is epoxy, is still intact. So no, I didn't apply paint thinner directly to the foam. THAT would be REALLY dumb.
Also didn't use any fiberglass cloth or q-cell although the q-cell may have been a good idea. The area is so thin that I thought I could get away with just a couple of layers of resin.
And finally, no Jesus you can't have my board. Not yet at least...
'; pd[159353] = '
Mar 21, 2013, 09:59 PM
\nOkay, so i might not be followin you 100%, but i think i got what u did. the part that you cut away, that was fiberglass and resin. What you put back on, that was just resin. So the problem is, that's got no strength anymore and the first time you step on it, it's going to break. Anytime u patch a hole or cut one into a board, you have to replace what's missing with glass and resin.
\n2nd problem, and I could be wrong about this, cause all I make are polyurethane/polyester boards, if you put a polyester resin on an EPS (epoxy) foam board, as I understand it, it can damage the EPS foam. I don't know, I'm a hobbyist not a shaper or a chemist, but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
\nIf what I'm assuming above is correct, you might want to cut out the repair you've done and start over. Or just do what LB says and ride the sucker.
\nGood luck dude

\nAfter looking at the pictures, there's a lot of issues with this board, including water damage along the stringer. Looks like mold growing in the foam, which is pretty common with old, waterlogged boards. I wouldn't invest much into repairing it, except for sanding down that resin you added, and putting a layer or two of cloth over the area. Then sand that down, and paint some resin over that. Sand it smooth and ride it.

Thanks zaGaffer/LBCrew! Words of wisdom. There's an extra layer of fiberglass that didn't delaminate so I think I'm safe with the foam not dissolving. Also, not too worried strength b/c it's the bottom of the board and it's already got a layer of fiberglass. At this point, I think I'm just gonna plow ahead and finish it off with a little more resin. Like you guys said, her days are numbered. I'll follow up and let you know when she finally kicks the bucket...

So I said I would follow up when my board finally kicked the bucket and here we are. A few weeks ago I traded boards with a friend in order to try out her new longboard. She was paddling out on my board, tried turtling under a thigh high wave and it snapped right in half.
Now I have a chunk of foam covered in fiberglass that's 6'2" long, 22.25" wide and 2.75" thick. I started peeling back the fiberglass last night and it's quite the process, but I'm finding that a paint scraper and wire snips can do the trick.
Any suggestions on what kind of shape I can make out of this? I would think a mini simmons would be the most obvious, but I'm really feeling a single fin egg shape. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't invest much into repairing it, except for sanding down that resin you added, and putting a layer or two of cloth over the area. Then sand that down, and paint some resin over that. Sand it smooth and ride it.

Calgon Carbon Corporation
's (
) first-quarter 2012 earnings of 14 cents a share beat the Zacks
Consensus Estimate by a couple of cents while trailing the year-ago
earnings by a penny. The Pennsylvania-based pollution control
company's profit fell 8.7% year over year to $7.7 million as higher
costs more than offset top-line growth.
Revenues climbed 9.8% year over year to $136.6 million, ahead of
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $132 million. Currency translation
had a negative impact of $0.3 million on sales, stemming from a
stronger dollar.
Revenues from the Activated Carbon and Service segment rose 3.9%
to $117.2 million. The growth was fueled by increased demand for
activated carbon products and services across four markets.
Equipment revenues zoomed 76.8% to $16.1 million riding on
higher sales from ballast water treatment systems and ion exchange
equipment. However, the company saw lower sales from carbon
adsorption equipment in the quarter.
Revenues in the Consumer segment spiked 36.7% to roughly $3.3
million. The growth was aided by higher demand for activated carbon
Margins and Expenses
Gross margin fell to 31.3% in the quarter from 33.3% a year ago,
impacted by higher plant maintenance expenses, unfavorable mix and
raw material inflation. Moreover, costs associated with the repair
of two new reactivation facilities in Belgium and China affected
Cost of products sold increased 13% year over year to $93.8
million in the quarter. Selling, administrative and research
(SG&A) expenses rose 7.2% to $23.9 million. The company
attributed the increase to higher employee related expenses,
including new recruitments at its Hyde Marine ballast water
treatment business.
Calgon Carbon ended the first quarter with cash and cash
equivalents of $11.8 million, down 56% year over year. Total
long-term debt was $3.5 million, down 87% year over year.
Outlook and Recommendation
Moving ahead, Calgon Carbon said that it will actively focus on
improving margins across all regions. Despite some challenges, the
company expects to continue to capitalize on its growth
opportunities. It continues to regard ballast water treatment,
reactivation services, disinfection by-products, and mercury
removal as the very basis for sustained growth.
Healthy sales gains and strategic initiatives adopted by the
company will bring benefits in the longer term. We, however, remain
concerned about the economic challenges that the company might face
in 2012.
We currently have a long-term Neutral recommendation on Calgon
Carbon. The company, which competes with

In a world where many noteworthy events tend to be negative, we would like to focus on the positive accomplishments we have been privileged to be a part of in 2013.
As a company, it was another eventful year at Batteries Plus, now Batteries Plus Bulbs. As we officially changed our name and announced it to the world, we made a commitment to our customers to be a major player in the rapidly growing $17 billion* light bulb replacement industry (*according to Freedonia Research Study). With the final phase out of incandescent bulb production effective January 1, 2014, including 40W and 60W lamps, (along with previously discontinued 75W and 100W bulbs), the future of this industry is quickly moving in the direction of exclusively more energy-efficient replacements, and we will be there to guide consumers through this transition.
This year, we also celebrated our 25th year in business. Having started with a single store in Green Bay, WI and growing to become the largest nationwide franchise for batteries and light bulbs, with hundreds of locations throughout the country and Puerto Rico, is definitely something to be proud of and humbled about.
The most rewarding moments of 2013 for Batteries Plus Bulbs, however, came from assisting residents in times of need, and donating to many worthy local and national charities. Here are just a few of the exemplary acts performed by our independent, local franchisees this past year:
Also, in 2013, Batteries Plus Bulbs was fortunate to partner with the world-renowned charitable organization Habitat for Humanity, and donated more than a half million dollars' worth of energy-efficient CFL bulbs to build sites in Alabama, Arizona, Missouri and Wisconsin. Not to mention, associates in the Milwaukee area even had the privilege of donating a couple days of manual labor to local sites, as well.
Furthermore, 2013 saw the franchise get recognized as one of the "50 Top Franchises for Veterans". With over 20 veteran ownership groups in our system, comprising of more than 10% of our nationwide locations, Russ Reynolds, Batteries Plus Bulbs' CEO, concisely voiced the company's sentiment on being mentioned in this regard by simply stating: "It is an honor to be selected as a top franchise for veterans."
Finally, we're pleased to announce that we have opened our 600th and 601st franchise locations, for a total of 55 new stores in 2013. With dozens more planned to open in 2014, Batteries Plus Bulbs is poised to continue to add hundreds of new jobs each year, at both the corporate and local levels, and we are proud to continue to create more employment opportunities.
A leader in energy-efficient lighting replacements, battery and light bulb recycling, and the portable power provided by batteries (both electrically and solar charged!), we are happy to continue to be a one-stop-shop for all of your power and lighting needs, for both residential and business customers, now and for years to come.
Our customer service will continue to be our priority, and our gratitude for your continued business and support cannot be overstated. Thank you for another great year, and have a safe, happy New Year!

GOP Senators Parrot Anti-Science Talking Points At Climate Hearing
All of the Republican members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee question the science behind climate change. Fueled by millions in donations from the fossil fuel industry, on Thursday, these Senators used the committee as a way to simply parrot the tired talking points of Koch funded organizations and industry leaders, denouncing what 97 percent of climate scientists have agreed on.
Titled "Climate Change: It's Happening Now," the hearing was the embodiment of the climate schizophrenia currently transfixing congress. A panelist representing the U.S. insurance industry informed Senators that the surge in weather-related catastrophes has forced billions in payouts and that climate change "increases the exposure of citizens and their property to extreme weather risk." The GOP, on the other hand, outlined what they believe is a White House conspiracy designed to mislead the public on the threat of climate change.
Dr. Heidi Cullen, the chief Climatologist for Climate Central, warned of the hazards of ignoring climate change, reiterating that it's "very clear global warming has not stopped." But almost every Republican on the committee repeated the same talking point — that recent data somehow proves that climate change stopped 15 years ago. Here's a breakdown some of the GOP talking points, followed by what the science actually says:
- "Over the past 15 years, temperatures have been flat while greenhouse gas emissions continue to soar." — Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)
There were more national temperature records broken in the first decade of the 21st century than in any previous decade, according to a report by the World Meteorological Organization. The report also found that warming has sped up over the past 40 years and that nine of the 10 years between 2001 and 2010 were among the warmest 10 since "modern measurements" began in 1850. Dr. Cullen also pointed out during the hearing that heat is being transferred into other components of our climate system, such as the deep ocean, which has been dramatically warming over the past 15 years.
- "Climate change is happening. It's always happening. And there are many significant influences that are making it happen….major influences on climate include solar activity, solar cycles, ocean currents, cosmic rays, and greenhouse gases that occur naturally as well as those emitted from many countries including those who have no plans on regulatory change like China, India and Russia." — Senator David Vitter (R-LA)
Many climate science deniers try to say that climate change is just a natural part of Earth's history — that the climate is always changing and therefore there is no reason to worry. What they fail to point out is that greenhouse gas emissions have been dramatically increasing since the industrial revolution, when humans began burning the fossil fuels that heat up the atmosphere. The temperature is changing 50 times faster than it did prior to the industrial revolution and we are headed for 7 to 11°F warming this century on our current emissions path — increasing the rate of change 5-fold yet again.
- Many senators expressed their concerns that climate change is not causing extreme weather patterns, including Senator Inhofe (R-OK), who said claiming global warming is causing extreme weather is just "wrong."
Asking whether an event is caused by climate change is the wrong question. All weather events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they occur is warmer than it used to be. As Climate Progress has said before, extreme weather is more like a baseball player on steroids. These players do not always hit home runs, but on average they get more, and more powerful, hits. Climatologist Kevin Trenberth put it best, the "answer to the oft-asked question of whether an event is caused by climate change is that it is the wrong question. All weather events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they occur is warmer and moister than it used to be." The United States has experienced an onslaught of extreme weather in the past few years with over 25 events that caused at least $1 billion in damage beginning in 2011. Combined, these storms cost our country $188 billion and took the lives of over 1,100 Americans. Most of these storms, floods, droughts, heat waves, and wildfires are fueled by climate change.
While Senator Wicker (R-MS) asked for tolerance in the public discourse regarding the many scientific viewpoints on climate change, Chairman Boxer (D-CA) reminded the panel that only 2 percent of scientists support his views, and that there seems to be "endless money" funding the interests of the fossil fuel industry. Boxer went on to point out that even the panelists that were asked to appear at the hearing by the GOP were from companies that have received funding Big Oil in the past, including donations from the Koch brothers.
Responding to Senator Inhofe's claims, Boxer lamented, "I don't know what it will take to convince you, and the rest of the deniers, of what is going on outside the window."

The good news, is that these climate deniers (or my favorite, members of the flat earth society) will soon not be able to ignore the elephant in the room.
The bad news is that we could cause irreversible damage to our planet in the mean time.
Side note, anyone want to just smack Inhofe upside his head?
I love the request for "tolerance in the public discourse regarding the many scientific viewpoints on climate change". Why should we tolerate false statements by public figures intended to confuse the issue and delay meaningful action?
The video is worth watching. Long, but considering the impact, it is shocking the limited time that Congress decided to give this issue.
And I would not call them anti-science – rather it was promoting the political power of carbon fuel industries – the tactic may be anti-science confusion – the but the motives seemed purely business. Actions of political sluts.
My comments yesterday after watching the whole thing,

Coal and oil are not cheap energy

There must be no tolerance for these individuals.
The horrific scale of direct violence against humanity they are effectively causing and will cause in future decades is without precedent many times over.
Meanwhile in Siberia
The temperatures on parts of Kara Sea and surrounding coast has hit +40C, or over +100F. Temperature legend map by Foreca. Large rises of methane has been measured from the region. https://www.facebook.com/ClimateState/posts/466599550102966
This Republican doubling down on outright lies about the science is becoming more transparent, but too slowly for a reliable effect on congressional 2014 elections that could easily lock us in to more years of obstruction.
Climate progress now hangs precariously on whether the two biggest, most persistent obstacles can be overcome.
One, the validity of the science, the realities of the backed-in consequences and the urgency to act have to be resolved DECISIVELY in the media and the public mind. We might wait for the current haphazard social & political processes to balance with reality, good luck with that, or we might consider stronger, knot-cutting moves such as climate scientists addressing the nation.
And two, climate deniers, Republican or Democrat, have to get voted out in 2014. The League of Conservation Voters & the League of Women Voters are leading on this and every climate action campaign should partner with them.
This Siberian heat wave seems to be associated with a rise in measured methane releases in the region. I live in a cold climate area, if summer brings 100 degree heat, this will force melting of permafrost and release methane.
I think, but could be totally wrong, that the world has flipped into a new climate state. All we have seen the last couple years is the first visible signs of that real flip. The arctic sea ice can not melt without throwing the northern hemisphere into a new climate state. The Jet Stream is now a totally different animal than it was a decade ago.
The deniers look like proper fools, but this has only made them up their game of media lies. Climate change is off the media agenda for the most part, just as climate flips to a new state. Count the years now as to how much longer denier's money can buy media silence. As for now, fossil fuel can still purchase the entire media lie machine.
This may be naive, but what motivates Inhofe et al?
– Is it money and self-interest? They can't be that shallow — they have children and grandchildren don't they?
– Is it a belief that the scientific community is wrong or the predictions are overblown? How can their confidence be so misplaced?
– Do they think that the solution will be worse than the problem? How can their priorities be so messed up?
– Do they just enjoy being contrarian? Again, how could their priorities be so wrong?
The intolerant demanding tolerance for the intolerable. The chutzpah doesn't get much more dire.
We must, absolutely must, prepare draft laws for crimes against humanity through climate destabilisation denial, and send copies to the worst offenders, to 'concentrate their minds'. Why the human beings seem mesmerised by these creatures, as if intimidated by their malignancy, really mystifies me. We must take this life or death fight up to them.
They actually really are that shallow.
Could you both please read the link posted by Prokaryotes on the Zimbardo experiment, towards the end of the weekend open thread. I know it is easy to blame the individuals but easy does not mean correct, ME
ME, I've read the Zimbardo article and am unclear on the connection with the prisoners & guards or results of the experiment. I think Infofe is a shallow man, a self-serving & ignorant shill for his industry and an arrogant toad. What am I not talkng into account?
ME, I had missed your comment over there. Are you saying nobody can be personally held to account for their betrayals of others because everybody is equally caught up in a structure they don't control?
Not all of Oklahoma is in drought, only about two thirds of it. Still.
No Brian. I am saying that what Zimbardo, and our own work on changing the design principle of organizational structures, shows is that people change their behaviour according to the circumstances in which they are embedded, i.e. it is not just a matter of individual choice or personality but more complex. People can refuse to go along with the system and some do, but then they may suffer terribly as they are ostracized or become anxious as they feel isolated from the majority (Asch, 1952). There are only two possible solutions: shift the offenders from their 'panorama of social ties' to a group with a different structure and behaviours, or change the structure of the situation in which they are all immersed, ME
Flash: US 7th fleet bombs Great Barrier Reef!
Just heard on NPR. The planes returning to a carrier on training mission, low on fuel, felt they needed to dump the unarmed bombs. Gee, I wonder if they could have dumped them somewhere else…
ME, with respect, I'm having a hard time applying these notions to someone like Inhofe where I am sure the man knows what he is doing. There is no way to intervene to cause him to "shift" into some other 'panorama of social ties'. He likes it where he is and would scoff at the idea of abandoning his group for a more ethical one. After all, he has God on his side.
If the "only" other possible solution is to change the structure in which he is immersed – well that would be, and will be, difficult without addressing the fact that he and other ruthlessly self-interested individuals are directly responsible for creating the "situation" we are all immersed in and are proudly devoted to maintaining it. (And without challenge, they will succeed!)
I'm OK with calling out him and his ilk for what they are, low level bigots endangering everyone – and not worry too much that they will "suffer terribly as they are ostracized or become anxious as they feel isolated from the majority". My sense of empathy does not favor the Inhofes of the world and their victims of their conceit equally.
You are possibly the wordsmith for this. But crimes against all life on earth is the larger set that includes those against human well being. Somewhere in there, the crime of ruining the planet for unborn generations..
A telling exchange occurred halfway through the hearing (see 1:58:43) when Chairwoman Boxer became exasperated by the continual denier chaff being inserted into the record. Immediately after she inserted NOAA's Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters, Senator Wicker (R-MS) moved to insert something to offset the information.
Boxer: "Whatever you want to put in the record. We will put in any document. We will leave the record open until tomorrow 10:00 A.M. Put in anything you want."
Wicker (chewing up more time): "I just wanted to make sure that …"
Boxer: "Just put in aaaanything you want Alice in Wonderland … anything you want."
Actually all of Oklahoma is in an intellectual drought.
Mr. Inhofe and Mr. Vitter aren't only incredibly ignorant, they are addicted to the big oil money they use to buy the votes needed to keep them in power. They are nothing more than traitors to America and the world.
Of course there have not yet been crimes of omnicide, but these creatures might yet achieve that status. Moreover, in the event of near term extinction, a hideous but now plainly possible if not probable reality, judgment and justice will be pointless. No posterity to impress or instruct, no divine order to maintain, no deity to please (just where has He gone?), just 'deserts of vast eternity'. And, before the end, a terrible explosion of rage. Our species does rage very effectively and enthusiastically.
Yeah, bad spot but would it have mattered where? It's training for what? Another manufactured crisis? Think about the 'big picture' and wonder why the USA has 'pivoted' to Asia-Pacific when we are facing the great disruption, ME
The pathologies of power increasingly become visible and more direct as the crisis accelerates.
Brian, further thoughts. It is tough being a social or group animal when you are a human who is aware of their awareness. The history of science shows that those who buck the system, commit heresy and stick to their ideas are pretty few and far between, and the price is high. The theory that there are purely autonomous human beings, totally responsible for their actions is a bastardization of reality and everything we know, ME
Right on fj and make sure that the visibility increases until it too, becomes an inescapable reality, ME
Reasons for failure? Here's one view:
don't forget that Inhofe assured us that his god would not allow global warming or climate change
so we have nothing to worry about
Traitor is a legal term written into our Constitution. Google the word and public law. It is not broad enough to address the likes of Inhofe and his ilk.
Any member of Congress can introduce any kind of bill even knowing it might never get a hearing nor voted upon. But, the sponsor(s) have the right to address it on the House or Senate floor and their floor speech is written into the Congressional Record and maybe picked up by Mother Jones, etc.
Mulga's comment above: "We must, absolutely must, prepare draft laws for crimes against humanity through climate destabilisation denial, and send copies to the worst offenders, to 'concentrate their minds'. Why the human beings seem mesmerised by these creatures, as if intimidated by their malignancy, really mystifies me. We must take this life or death fight up to them." is a challenge but we can write such a draft, debate it here and find a sponsor in the Congress.
I agree entirely Brian so let's see what that means. He feels totally secure as there are so many deniers up there and besides, there is God as you say. So he feels invincible. What is required is a way to reduce the numbers of his support group until he starts to feel that anxiety that could lead to a change of heart, or mind. That's where your strategy for climatologists addressing the public comes in. There will be only a few waverers at first so keep the pressure up. May not work with him but I'll bet it will shake him up, ME
This may not be the case when, for the first time for hominids, oxygen levels decrease due to dying forest and phytoplankton ecosystems (sources of most atmospheric oxygen).
Solar, have you ever seen a demented person in the added throes of hypoxia? It ain't pretty. In fact, come to think of it, an insidious and pervasive global hypoxia may explain the Right's current planetary dominance.
Thanks for clarifying ME, and I guess we're on the same page after all. Changing the situation is what we are all trying to figure out how to do. 'Nough said.
Inhofe consults His God every morning, in his Magic Mirror, while shaving. How does He know that He is God? Why, because, when He prays, He finds that He is simply talking to Himself.
Here's another (in addition to that good article):
Fossil substances are not "forms of energy." Rather, uranium (atomic fission) and fossil carbon are forms of matter, and are the very basis of mechanized nation-state warfare. They are the material base for explosives, which allow physical and political power.
Economics is man-made, and often perverse.
Our "Mother Earth" trumps his "God."
Are some of these comments ironic, sarcastic, or meant to be taken seriously? At times the web can be cruel as some people write the strangest things that a rational person cannot believe are serious only to find that they the authors intended them to be seen that way.
Here's Clive Hamilton from his 2010 book "Requiem for a Species":
"…even with the most optimistic set of assumptions — the ending of deforestation, a halving of emissions associated with food production, global emissions peaking in 2020 and then falling by 3 per cent a year for a few decades — we have no chance of preventing emissions rising well above a number of critical tipping points that will spark uncontrollable climate change.
The Earth's climate would enter a chaotic era lasting thousands of years before natural processes eventually establish some sort of equilibrium.
Whether human beings would still be a force on the planet, or even survive, is a moot point.
One thing seems certain: there will be far fewer of us"
Is it possible to do a kind of end-run around these road-blocking troglodytes like Inhofe and at least start to point things in something that looks at least remotely like some kind of right direction?
Vangel, my dear chap, I never joke. Laughter is insidious and saps one's vital bodily essences.

g Opinion Article on Sub-sub-su b prime lenders
The CFPB's mission is to protect consumers from financial harm.
Before rushing to grab privileged documents and punish unintentional "discrimination," the CFPB should figure out who's siphoning money unfairly from consumers—rather than just assuming that banks and those nasty "shadow banks" are the greedy culprits. But the CFPB seems to have tripped on the first step, so I'll help.
Example: an unusual, intensively advertised credit card program appeals to customers with no credit or bad credit, and approves 70% of applicants. These people send in $95 to get $225 in credit. Over half those who borrow default and are charged off. The others pay hefty additional fees and interest.

Eh, I don't need another device attached to my body constantly sending out radiowaves and other forms of radiation. We get enough of that as it is. :)
Haha, thanks. I grow a thick beard pretty much with ease, but it's not naturally neat like some people's beards are. I have to work twice as hard as some to keep it looking neat.
Even if it did (and it probably doesn't on the same level as soy), would you be eating it in the same quantities as some people eat soy in? I doubt it.
Hell, even basil, oregano, and freakin'...
Upregulation of T3 in relationship to cabohydrate intake is very often because T3 is required to properly metabolize carbs. You don't need as much T3 when you aren't eating as many carbs.

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, but I've been searching for almost an hour now and can't find the answer. I'm adding some analytics script to my file, but I want to notate it to remind myself what that script is if I go back into the file later and change it.
First, I've been placing the code between the HEAD tags of my Header file. Should I be placing it in a different file?
Second, I've tried adding the
/* */ tags to make the text non viewable, but it still shows up at the top. Is there a better way/place to make these notes?

AbstractLarge-scale genome engineering represents a broad group of technologies, all of which stand to impact the manufacturing of a range of biological and chemical products. While the power of these methods to increase the production of biologically-driven manufacturing processes has been previously demonstrated, they are often developed and optimized toward a single target, or single methodology. Currently, an automation platform does not exist that enables a broad range of genome engineering methods directed towards a diverse range of biomanufactured products. Advanced Liquid Logic (ALL) has developed digital microfluidics, a highly flexible, software programmable liquid handling technology. ALL has demonstrated that this technology is capable of automating a range of bioassay workflows using relatively straightforward device designs and fabrication methods. During this program leaders in genome engineering will be engaged to help identify requirements; technology gaps and potential solutions to enable greater flexibility and capability will be evaluated; and system performance will be analyzed and benchmarked to other methods. The goal of this proposal is to lay the groundwork for the development, in Phase II, of a highly-flexible and less constrained digital microfluidic device, potentially using more advanced fabrication methods, for synthetic biology applications.

Yummy! What an awesome flavor and a great alternative to the "usual" dip. Adults and teens wolfed this one down. Thanks for posting.
Di, I wish I would have known thuis was soooo good, I would have doubled this and kept some here at home. I made it for the 4th. and took it to my brothers BBQ it was one oif the first dishes that went right away. My DH didn't even get to try any of it. Great flavor!! Thanks, I will make this again, and again!
Excellent recipe Di! The kidney bean base mixture is nice and thick which makes for perfect dipping. I served it at a pot luck with sun-dried brad rounds to rave reviews. Thanks again.
As you can tell from the photo, this dip looks gorgeous and like you spent a long time making it, but it is really quite easy to prepare. Everyone enjoyed it. This is going into my keeper file. Thanks for posting!
I just served this at a Canada Day barbecue with plain pita bread and it was very well received. So much so that I've been instructed to bring it to another gathering this weekend! I followed the receipe exactly, which resulted in a fresh tasting superb dip. How can you go wrong with those ingredients! Thank you for posting DiB's
Made this dip for a work 'do' and everyone loved it. It tastes divine, but my only complaint was that the chopped tomatoes made the dip rather watery once everyone started digging in. I'll probably make this one again, thanks DiB's.
I prepared this for our Christmas party at work. Easy to follow instuctions and did not change anything. It was gone before any other dip provided. I am making this again for Christmas day. I made my recipe for pita chips and it worked great. On my way to rate your wonderful Tzatziki recipe, another 5 star rating.
I made this for a recent hafla. We had tons of food, but this dish was the star! Everyone loved it. It was very simple to make, and looked beautiful (before everyone started digging in to it!). I couldn't find any 19 oz. cans of beans - all the store had were 15 oz, so I used 2 cans, and added extra garlic and vinegar. I didn't add extra oregeno, but I did throw in a teaspoon of premade "Greek Seasoning."
I am not Greek, but my husband is, and this dish was a hit at the Greek Easter this year. I got rave reviews!
I've made this for a few different parties, and everyone loves it. I added some diced artichoke hearts, just for a little extra flavor (and because I love artichokes), but it's excellent either way. Thanks!

The researchers found the reverse trend in men as they report watching pornography less often after getting married
Mary McIntosh, the leading feminist sociologist and academic, was not scared of breaking boundaries. She was looked on as being one of the leaders of the "second-wave" of the feminist movement, and was also one of the founders of the gay and lesbian movement. McIntosh fought for equal rights, and both sexual and legal recognition for all. She was instrumental in making the academic world reconsider the sociological lives of gays and lesbians.

Working In Uncertainty
Promoting integrated management of risk/uncertainty
Welcome. This website and my work promote understanding and use of ways to manage risk/uncertainty as an integral part of core management and other intellectual activities, such as planning, design, and decision-making. This is especially relevant to anyone with an interest in management methods or design, and even more so if risk is your greatest interest.
Managing risk/uncertainty naturally and integrally can be done in lots of ways and I want to help you understand and use them. Many useful techniques are easy to understand and to use. Others take a little longer to grasp. I try hard to keep my explanations simple, clear, and evenly paced, with plenty of examples.
Most of the help available from this website falls into four themes:
The story behind Working In Uncertainty
This website is consulted by many experts, including practitioners from leading companies, charities, and government departments, researchers, bloggers, and the authors of new standards and guidance. My research has even influenced the wording of key requirements placed on listed companies. I am in frequent contact with other leading thinkers on risk, control, governance, and management generally as we help each other forward.
How did this happen?
The story has been of a gradual transition from the rather narrow ideas and services I learned about while employed by PricewaterhouseCoopers – all about risk management and internal controls, with lots of lists – to a much more open, technically more varied and natural perspective that also encompasses ideas and techniques from science and mathematics.
I've always worked hard to learn and to push for improvements, and along the way I've helped a lot of clients (e.g. BT, BP, and the Department for Communities and Local Government) written two books and countless articles, earned two Certificates of Distinguished Service from the British Standards Institution for my work on risk standards, and helped hundreds of university students through my lecturing and supervision.
But what has moved my thinking on more than any of this has been my surveys to find out what most people think on matters to do with risk and management. These have revealed that I'm not a maverick or a revolutionary. In fact, I'm mostly speaking for the overlooked majority.
Interview with Jonathan Norman of Gower
Jonathan Norman is the publisher at Gower who encouraged me to write my first book. In these very short videos he is asking me about some key themes in the book. Gower wanted to make very short videos, so our conversation was edited down to these two.
Part 1.
Part 2.
Interview with ACCA
To spread the findings of our research into how accountants support better management under uncertainty, this interview was recorded. The interviewer is Ewan Willars of ACCA, who backed the research along with Paul Moxey.
Presentation at the Institute of Engineering and Technology
The Institute recorded my presentation and still have it available on their website. The slides aren't always in step with what I'm saying!
Hundreds of people receive notification of new publications every month. They include company directors, heads of finance, of internal audit, of risk management, and of internal control, professors, and other influential authors and researchers.

Centre for Risk Research
The University of Southampton's Centre for Risk Research now has me as a member and as its representative on the RM/1 (risk management) committee at BSI. The Centre does a wide range of interesting research and projects with clients. I have been a visiting lecturer there for several years and the experience has greatly increased my knowledge and abilities.
Breakthrough publication by IFAC
IFAC have published an important new paper called 'From Bolt-on to Built-in: Managing Risk as an Integral Part of Managing an Organization' written by Vincent Tophoff (with some input from me and Grant Purdy). This does not feature the usual 'risk management process' and, instead, looks at how to tackle any decision in a better way with risk in mind. Vincent has done a fantastic job of keeping Risk Listing out of this document and the result is impressive. This is an important step in the right direction.
New presentation by Nik Silver
Nik Silver (niksilver.com) is a an interesting guy whose blog is worth visiting. After we had a chat recently he produced this excellent presentation. I particularly like the points later on about seeing the bigger picture and making process changes.
Tutoring service developing
The individual technical tutoring service has moved to a new level now that I have completed the first phase of a very exciting project with a team at a central government department in the UK. I had tutoring sessions with every team member and was able to help them apply ideas covered in an earlier workshop. Individual sessions work much better than group sessions.
Feedback from readers
"It makes perfect sense" wrote one reader from Australia of Working In Uncertainty. Agnes Wilson, Risk & Assurance Manager at the Manukau Institute of Technology in New Zealand, wrote saying "Great to see a website that doesn't just reiterate the same textbook phrases and definitions but takes a real world and practical view of what uncertainty means in business." Others have written saying they would like to promote this kind of approach or saying they want to write about it. This website is still new and little-known, but this is encouraging early feedback.
Videos on YouTube
Gower, who published my first book, interviewed me recently about the book and related topics. They put together two very short videos, which you can see here and here.
ISO 31000:2009 survey results
The latest addition to my list of surveys was done with support from BSI and the IRM, and on behalf of the ISO committee for risk management. The results shed light on what people really want from a revised standard.
ICAEW blog
The ICAEW asked me to do some blog postings for their BPM Community blog (about risk and business performance management). If you are a member of the ICAEW's Finance and Management Faculty you can access this for free. I've also written a second article for their magazine.
PRAM guide
I'm also working with a group of project risk management experts on a revised edition of the 'PRAM Guide', which is a guide to project risk management produced by the Association for Project Management. Early work looks promising.

One of the most common problems people have today is some form of depression.
It isn't always severe and obvious; sometimes it's mild or moderate; but it's still like trying to swim with an anchor tied around your leg, always pulling you down and holding you back. Sometimes, people don't even recognize that they are depressed. They may feel chronically frustrated, or they may just feel dead inside, or they may no longer enjoy the things they used to enjoy. There are times when life feels like it's just too much work. Today's world is complex, fast-paced, competitive, full of daunting challenges, and even frigtening possibilities. Listening to the news doesn't help! Sometimes it gets overwhelming, and you can feel the light going out of your eyes, the joy going out of your spirit, and your will to go on at an all-time low . . . There's no energy to do even the things you want to do. Maybe there's an obstacle in your life that just won't budge . . . or maybe you've felt this way for as long as you can remember.
Depression is different from sadness or grief, though those feelings may be a part of what you're going through. Sometimes it's hard to explain to people what depression really feels like, what you're really going through. Depression isn't just another emotion; it's a syndrome of dysfunctional emotion; a kind of emotional blockage. If you are depressed, this is a very important concept to know. Therapy for depression is the treatment that's needed, in order to feel your energy come back to you, so that you can live your life fully.
Let's spend some time together and talk it through. Located in Seal Beach, I provide therapy for depression for the communities of Long Beach and Orange County. Together, we can get to the bottom of things, and find a path out of the dark woods. You can have hope, and know what it means to have your energy back, ready to enjoy all the good things that life has to offer. Please don't put it off any longer; start the healing process here and now.
Trauma as a Seed of DepressionSeptember 3, 2010 • By Cynthia W. Lubow, MS, MFT, Depression Topic Expert Contributor
"In my practice, people trace depression back to trauma most of the time. Emotional trauma is an overwhelming shock to a person's equilibrium."
Check out this great and very valuable aritlce. A lot of clients believe they can deal with their depression simply by doing health-based and behavioral interventions, and there is a wide array of therapists who take this one-dimensional approach. It may have some value, but it always leaves the client in a perpetual state of simply "managing" their depression, and giving up hope of every being free of it. The thing about depression is that at it's core, it means that you are using all your mental/emotional energy to keep sometihng down. It might be a feeling, a memory, or some important truth. When you can get to the core of the issue, you can actually be *free* of depression, and not just hope to "manage" it for the rest of you life, with medications, and taking walks, and trying to meditate. I think it's so important for clients to be able to get to the root of their depression and finally deal with *that,* and then become free. I am a therapist who addresses causes and not just symptoms. Treat the fire, not just the smoke! Please contact me; I would be hapy to help. Erik E.

Effects of work-related absences on families: Evidence from the Gulf War
The Gulf War provides an opportunity to estimate the effect of work-related separations on military families. Using data from the 1992 Survey of Officers and Enlisted Personnel, the authors estimate the effect of Gulf War deployment on divorce rates, spousal employment, and children's disability rates. Deployment of male soldiers had no effect on marital dissolution, though it did lead soldiers' wives to work less. In contrast, deployment of female soldiers led to a large and statistically significant increase in divorce rates, suggesting deployment of women placed a marked strain on marriages. Deployment of female soldiers did not affect husbands' labor supply. Finally, the results show no statistically significant increase in disability rates among the children of deployed personnel.

hey guys, i just recently purchased an 08 mazda cx-9 GS w/sunroof. a couple days ago i went though the car wash and when the jets sprayed on the seal of the sun roof spitted water into the cabin (about 1tsp of water).. also, when it went through the dryer, i could feel/hear the air rushing though as i put my hand near the seal.. any ways, during rainfall it does not leak.
just wondering, anyone have this problem? and if i bring this to my dealer will it be a quick fix?
other than that, the car is superb.. it turns alot of heads
thanks in advance!
