About JohnnyParker
I am Johnny Parker and I am 22. I have studied the weather since I was 5. I have cerebral palsy and my goal is to become a meteorologist.
By: JohnnyParker , 11:02 AM GMT on September 21, 2012
Good morning! At Smithville, MS, the current temperature is 49 and it feels like 49. Highs will continue to range between 77 and 88 with lows between 48 and 62. No rain over the next couple of days. At the Regional Rehab Center in Tupelo, MS, the current temperature is 55 and it feels like 55. Todays high is 85 with a low of 60. Saturdays high is 85.
Now, for your tropical update. In the Atlantic, we have Tropical Storm Nadine. Nadine has winds of 65mph with a pressure of 981mbars. Movement is Southeast at 8mph. Nadine is located near the Azores. Also, in the Atlantic, shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a non-tropical low pressure system located about 475 miles East of Bermuda has changed little in organization during the past several hours. Conditions appear favorable for gradual development before upper-level winds become less conducive on Saturday. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a high chance, 60%, of becoming a subtropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves West-Northwestward at about 10mph. In the Eastern Pacific, shower and thunderstorm activity is gradually becoming better organized in association with an area of low pressure located about 375 miles Southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression to form during the next couple of days. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a medium chance, 50%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves Westward to West-Northwestward at 5 to 10mph.
Hope yall are having a great Friday and I'll have another post tomorrow.

Ellistown Breezes, August 17, 2012
Such a welcome break from the hot and humid weather we have been having.
Mary Evelyn McDonald Gentry of Blue Springs had a very nice surprise birthday party last Sunday afternoon. She was taken by family members to Gentry's Store where a room filled with family and friends awaited her. When she entered the room and was greeted the surprise, she said her heart almost stopped. She got weak in her knees, but was so pleased with the party. I had received a call from her grandson, Jackie, Saturday afternoon, who invited me to the party and I had planned to be there. When I returned home from church Sunday morning my front door lock jammed and made me miss the party. She and I were good friends in the old Ellistown Grammar School. However, upon graduation she attended Sherman High School and I went to Center High School. Monday I called her and we had a good chat and plan on getting together soon. We may have seen each other briefly since April 1945.
Speaking of birthdays, my youngest step-granddaughter, Margaret Yvonne "Mar-g" McCraw Windham will be 42 Monday, August 20. Seems only yesterday she had her Barbie dolls lined up with small pieces of paper in her hands teaching them. She and her husband Greg have four healthy children – two girls and two boys – but also suffered the loss of twin boys when she was five months pregnant. May you have a happy birthday.
Also, next Friday, August 24, Marty Roberts and Dexter Griggs have birthdays. May you both have happy birthdays.
Bobbie Rorie called to tell me Donald Hall was recently placed in a nursing home in Kosciusko. Many of us went to school with him at the Ellistwon Grammar School.
Bobbie also told me Sam Hall, son of the late Mary Kate Hall, who has been in the nursing home near Jackson, lost his wife shortly after his mother, then just a short time later one of his three daughters. Sam is not in very good shape and she said they have not even told him about his daughter. One of his daughters is caring for him in the nursing home and the other lives out of town. I know their families would appreciate your prayers.
Our church has been busy making out committees for the next church year which, starts September 1. I am delighted that Brenda Powell will be teaching our class among perhaps others.
I want to pass on a compliment I heard about Kerry Coker teaching last week. My step-granddaughter in-law, Cristie McCraw, heard him for the first time and commented to me "I had no idea Kerry could teach like he did, he always seems so quiet. I really enjoyed the lesson." I believe in passing on compliments.
It is also a good time to request your prayers for Cristie as she is experiencing sudden drops in blood pressure, among other problems. Her doctors are still running tests.
Our pastor preached what I thought was an exceptionally good thought provoking message last Sunday. We invite you to come join us in worship next Sunday at 8:30 a.m., Sunday school at 9:30 a.m., and the second worship service at 10:30 a.m.

Phallic Sculptures and Other Ways to Torture Your Real-Estate Agent
"Our client was screaming that this was her blood work and if a buyer doesn't get it then they can forget it!"
You wouldn't buy a pair a shoes without trying them on, so why would you buy an apartment in New York without eating Chinese food in the kitchen at least once? Oh, because you have too much money and making your real-estate broker's experience as painful as possible is pretty much what you're paying them for.
"I had a celebrity client who insisted on eating dinner in every apartment he liked so he could imagine what it would feel like to live there," recalls top agent Michelle Kleier. "He would make me call each owner and ask them to be out of their apartment. Then we'd head over, order in takeout and sit at the kitchen table. We did that at least 20 times."
Don't worry, it's just as easy to torture your broker when you're trying to sell. The easiest way, we'd imagine, would be to adamantly refuse to hide your collection of penis statues when the house is being shown.
At a prewar apartment on the Upper East Side, one client refused to take down his pornographic artwork. "There was a lot of nudity and photographs of little boys," says Ian Kleier, "not to mention two dozen sculptures of penises throughout the apartment. We had this incredible nine-room, prewar apartment to show, but people couldn't even look at it."
Two dozen phallic sculptures over nine rooms isn't more than two or three per room and, come on, prewar. This is not what we call giving the hard sell.

No kid is an island: Homeschool co-ops give social opportunities to children who learn at home
Beyond local co-ops, other networks exist to help homeschooling families find each other and learn about what's going on in their area's homeschooling world. State-wide umbrella organizations typically sponsor online lists of smaller networks, organized by geographical areas or homeschooling philosophies.
Donna Keeble, of Dyer, Ind., is the moderator for one such group. The Illiana Homeschool Society draws participants from the greater Chicago area in Illinois and Indiana and prides itself in "promoting socialization and education for all families." Other entries on a list of Indiana homeschool resources advertise book groups, play groups, mom's night out, groups for German language speakers only, classical education groups and Bible-based groups requiring members to sign a belief statement.
Keeble tried formal co-ops, but likes the flexibility of the Yahoo group. Through it, homeschoolers find others in their area to form co-ops with and plan group outings. By using the list, families can join to get group discounts on tickets to museums, plays and concerts. At the events, their children see old friends and meet new ones.
It was important to Keeble for her list to be all-inclusive. A Jewish atheist surrounded by evangelical Christians, she's not comfortable with everything the faith-based groups plan and recognizes that some parents in her area might not wish to participate in everything her children do. The informality and flexibility of the list allows families to pick and choose.
Some activities planned through the list are educational; many are purely social. A weekly roller-skating night that requires a minimum of 40 kids has been running continuously for more than a decade. A recent bead-making activity in a public library's social room drew an enthusiastic group of 30.
For the past two years, Keeble's daughter, now 18, organized a homeschool prom through the Yahoo group. Public school kids were allowed to attend, too, if they were friends of the homeschool participants. Teenagers in formal dress enjoyed the usual prom trappings, which were assembled in a rented hall — decorations, a DJ, a photographer — and refreshments, of course.
Striking balance
Van Loon once wrote in her blog for Christianity Today that human nature sometimes causes homeschool groups to turn into the rigid kinds of organizations that many homeschoolers sought to avoid by removing their children from public or private schools. Despite challenges, the groups are worthwhile, she wrote.
"Parents were never meant to shoulder the entire responsibility of this mandate alone, nor are they supposed to allow a peer group to do their thinking and obeying for them," she wrote. "Homeschooling families will thrive if they work together, not maroon themselves on separate islands."
Perfection isn't possible, though, she added.
"It's not the party line that you will hear at homeschool conventions, but homeschooling won't exempt you from mean girls or cliquey groups of moms," she said. "That kind of stuff can be kind of hard. All the peer pressure rules still apply."
The nice thing about most homeschool co-ops, though, is their flexible nature. If a situation isn't working out, it's usually easy to withdraw and look elsewhere for the situation a child needs.
"Every family has different dynamics," Chevrier said. "One of the great benefits of homeschooling is that I can address the need of each child, instead of putting them all through the same kind of program."

Worksafe New Zealand has been notified after a 23-year-old
man had his foot run over by a digger in Allanton on
St John duty centre manager Brendan McInnes said the service
was called to Douglas St about 12.30pm, after the digger
rolled over the driver's foot.
The man suffered minor injuries and was taken to Dunedin
''It was painful ... apparently the digger was of a
reasonable size.
''I don't think he will be walking around on it for a wee
bit,'' Mr McInnes said.
Southern deployment co-ordinator Senior Sergeant Craig Brown,
of Dunedin, said it was believed the driver had hopped off
the digger to open a gate when the digger slipped in some mud
and ran over the man's foot.
Police had notified WorkSafe New Zealand about the incident,
Snr Sgt Brown said.

HMNZS OTAGO: The offshore patrol vessel HMNZS Otago is bound for the south west Pacific to conduct fisheries patrols over the next two months. Otago will be carrying out the patrols to help detect and deter illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activity on behalf of several Pacific Islands countries. The NZDF has been supporting fisheries management in the south west Pacific by deploying ships and aircraft to conduct patrols. RNZAF P-3K2 Orion aircraft will also conduct surveillance flights in support of Otago's patrols. The operation is sponsored by New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the ship will carry fisheries officers from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and Pacific Islands countries.
"We contribute to maritime surveillance in the region as New Zealand is a member of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency," MPI compliance manager Gary Orr said.
"Overfishing of tuna stocks affects Pacific Islands countries. By conducting these patrols, we help progress the Pacific-wide campaign to educate and improve compliance with existing laws and regulations."

The New Zealand Defence Force is sending ships, aircraft and personnel to take part in the world's largest international maritime exercise, and a senior officer of the Royal New Zealand Navy will be playing a key role: commanding the amphibious task force of 13 ships from the task force flag ship USS America. Twenty-seven nations, 45 ships, five submarines, more than 200 aircraft, and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise scheduled to take place from 30 June to 4 August, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California.
Date: 30 June - 4 August 2016Location: Hawaii
New Zealand's relative geographic distance from other countries no longer affords the protection it once did and maintaining awareness of New Zealand's busy maritime domain is critical.
Roughly 70 percent of the world is water, 80 percent of the world's population lives on or near a coast, and 90 percent of international commerce moves by sea. Freedom of movement in the maritime domain is essential to a healthy and prosperous region. The Navy must maintain sovereignty and maritime domain awareness in order to be able to respond to threats to national security across the spectrum of military operations.
Maintaining the ability of the Defence Force to deploy within New Zealand and itsimmediate region is a fundamental priority for the Government.

I keep going back to the Ruger Red Hawk .44 cal with the 5.5" barrel and have been wanting one. I ran into a couple for a good price, but my question is... how is the 5.5 " barrel. I have only shot the .44 cal in a 7.5" barrel, and I'm wondering how much the 2" shorter barrel affects recoil, accuracy (if at all), etc. I see they have one that has a 4.2" barrel, but I don't think I would go there at all in a .44 cal. gun.
Opinions on the gun ? on the 5.5" barrel (recoil, etc) vs the 7.5" barrel ? Alternative guns for comparison ?

I had a 6" S&W 629 Classic and the Redhawk is heavier. It's built like a tank...You'll get a little more muzzle rise out of the 5.5" than the 7.5", but not enough to make a difference... It had less recoil than my 629...I would go for the 5.5" over the 7.5" OMO...

The 5.5" Redhawk is a strong, accurate revolver. Recoil is no worse than any other .44, and I never noticed any extra muzzle rise, compared to similar lenght barrels on other guns. I wish I hadn't traded it! Someday I'll buy another one.
I actually like the the shorter barrels on 44 mag. 4 to 4 1/2 inch barrels are just easier for me to carry. Easier for me to draw. Make a better all around ranch/working gun. I think Elmer Kieth's famous long range mule deer shot was done with a 4 1/2 in barrel. Last long barrel I had was S&W with 8 3/8 barrel. I found it about as easy to carry a rifle.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
I have and regularly carry a 4" Redhawk in 44 Mag. It is a great gun. It handles well and while the recoil is stout, it is manageable. And I love the gun.
My 5.5 inch Redhawk 44 shoots great. I did replace the factory grips with some Pachmyer grips. Heavy loads with the factory grips ate my hands up. With hot loads you get more of a push than you do a muzzle flip, with the Redhawk IMO.
If I pay attention to what I am doing, hitting bowling pins 30 to 50 percent of the time at 100 yds isn't out of the question. I picked the 5.5 over the 7.5 because I didn't want it to take half the day to get it out of the holster when hunting.
I wouldn't switch to a 7.5 myself.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

I had a Ruger Redhawk .44 mag (7.5 in barrel) with a scope when I lived in AK. Yes, it has quite a kick , but t was accurate and deadly.
The extra barrel length provided a more accurate shot at a distance, and in AK that was important.

I have one with the 8 & 3/8 barrel and love it. It is my hunting gun. The 5.5 should work for what ever you would like to do with the gun. IMO its the best 44 mag on the market.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....

Two Wyoming teens 'murdered woman and her elderly parents in cold blood so they could steal their Audi and run away to Denver'
- Stephen Hammer, 19, and Tanner Vanpelt, 18, charged with 11 felony counts
- Accused of gunning down Ildiko Freitas, 40, and her parents, Janos Volgyesi, 69, and Hildegard Volgyesi, 70
- Teenage suspects told police they killed the family with two 9mm handguns they stole from a gun store
Two teenage boys from Wyoming have been charged in a triple homicide targeting a 40-year-old woman and her elderly parents after the suspects told police their goal was to steal the family's Audi and flee to Denver.
Stephen Hammer, 19, and Tanner Vanpelt, 18, both of Cody, made their first court appearance Tuesday morning in a case that has rattled residents of the small town of Clark near the Wyoming-Montana border.
Each is charged with 11 felony counts, including premeditated murder, use of a deadly weapon and robbery. Some of the charges could carry the death penalty.
Accused killers: Tanner Vanpelt, 18, left, and Stephen Hammer, 19, right, have been charged with 11 felony counts each in connection to a triple homicide, which took place during an alleged car theft
Innocent victim: Ildiko Freitas, 40, was found shot dead inside the Clark, Wyoming, home alongside her parents
They were arrested after neighbors described two young men entering the house Saturday where the victim's bodies were found at around 11.15am.
The neighbors saw two vehicles speeding away, including a black Audi belonging to Ildiko Freitas, 40, who owned the house with her husband, John. Freitas and her parents, Janos Volgyesi, 69, and Hildegard Volgyesi, 70, were found dead inside the house.
John Freitas, who works in the oil industry, was away on business at the time of the murders, Powell Tribune reported.
Family torn apart: Freitas, pictured left with her father, Janos Volgyesi, and right with her mother, Hildegard, emigrated from Germany and spent years in California until the elderly couple retired and moved to Wyoming
Police tracked down the vehicles several miles from the crime scene and arrested Vanpelt and Hammer without incident.
According to court documents filed Tuesday, after being arrested, Hammer told investigators they used two 9 mm handguns the pair stole along with eight other weapons last week from a Cody gun store and went to the house to steal the Audi and leave the state.
Vanpelt got into an argument with Freitas over the car and that's when he
pulled out a gun and shot her, according to the documents.
Remote locale: Freitas, her husband and the woman's parents shared a home on Big View Road in the small community of Clarke, where they had moved six years prior from California
Hammer then went into the basement after hearing something there and shot a woman he encountered, Freitas' mother, Hildegard Volgyesi. Vanpelt told authorities he also went downstairs and shot the woman twice because it appeared she wasn't dead.
When Vanpelt was taking the Audi, the two young men encountered Freitas' father, Janos Volgyesi, in the garage and Vanpelt shot him twice in the back, the documents state.
After their arrest, Hammer and Vanpelt led investigators to an irrigation pipe several miles from the shooting scene where they had hidden the two 9 mm handguns.
It's unclear how the teens knew about the Audi. Residents of Clark said Hammer used to live with his family in town but had moved away several years ago.
Hammer told investigators he was 'sorry for shooting "that lady,"' according to the documents. Vanpelt said 'they had not planned it to go down this way.'
Neighbors on Big View Road where the slain family had lived said that they noticed a suspicious white sedan pull up to the Freitas' house around 11am Saturday. Two young men went in the front door.
Life cut short: Freitas worked as a registered nurse until last year, and she and her husband were planing to move to Colorado, where they had bought a second home
About 20 minutes later, the white Ford Taurus sedan and Freitas' black Audi A4 were seen speeding away, with the family's dogs in pursuit, according to neighbors.
Local residents went to check up on the homeowners and return their pets, only to discover Ildiko Freitas and her father Janos Volgyesi shot dead. Hildegard Volgyesi's body was found in the basement by police who responded to a 911 call.
Clark volunteer firefighter and retired Baltimore cop Jerry Ruth was one of the first on the scene. He gathered some information and spoke to witnesses, but left after local police arrived.
As Ruth was driving away from the Freitas' home en route to a baby shower, he spotted the white Ford and Audi on the road ahead of him and called 911, leading to the arrest of the two suspects.
Freitas grew up in Bakersfield, California, and attended the University of Wyoming before moving to Clark with her husband six or seven years ago.
Last year, the couple bought another house in Loveland, Colorado, that they had been renovating and were planning to move into sometime soon, said neighbor David Mathiesen.
Freitas' brother, Thomas Volgyesi, told The Associated Press Monday that he knew of no connection between the suspects and his family.
Volgyesi said his parents retired and moved from Sothern California to Wyoming four years ago for its more relaxed lifestyle.
Average Joe: Vanpelt graduated in December 2011 from Cody High School, where the principal recalled that the teen wasn't involved in sports or clubs, but also never had serious discipline issues
Drastic change: Shocked neighbors described Hammer as a likable and well-mannered boy
'They were the only family I have and I'm left with nothing now,' Volgyesi said. 'To have them taken away from me like this, I'm not registering it yet.'
The Volgyesis and their children, Ildiko and Thomas, immigrated to the United States from Germany decades ago.
'They were a fantastic family,' said friend Teri Taylor Thompson of Bakersfield, California.
The woman described Mrs Volgyesi as a kind woman, and said that her daughter was very devoted to her parents.
Ildiko Freitas worked as a registered nurse at West Park Hospital from September 2008 until September 2012, according to hospital spokesman Joel Hunt. On her Facebook page, the woman wrote that she was unemployed.
Vanpelt's father, Robb Vanpelt, said Monday that his son was not living with him and had not been in serious trouble before his arrest, which was 'pretty much totally out of the blue.'
Tanner Vanpelt graduated in December 2011 from Cody High School, where principal Brandon Jensen recalled that the teenager wasn't involved in athletics or after-school clubs, but also never had serious discipline issues.
Hammer attended the school only a year before transferring during his freshman year, Jensen said.
A former neighbor to the Hammer family, Jennifer Bays, recalled Stephen as a likable and well-mannered boy.
'I can't understand what happened to him,' Bays wrote in a comment on the Tribune's website. 'It has shown me that you REALLY never know someone.'
Residents of Clark said it's the first murders they can recall in decades in the rural community dominated by agriculture that sits near the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River.

Opening weekend for Blue Mountain will be the first opportunity to see whether this ski area's investments for the '06-'07 season, including the new six-passenger Challenge Express lift and improvements at both lodges, will pay off in terms of a better ski and snowboard experience.
Challenge Express, with its base near the Valley Lodge and service to the east side of the ski area, should improve lift capacity to the peak and cut down on problematic long lines. Although the new lift is not running for opening weekend, Blue is blowing snow on the double blacks Challenge and Falls and plans to open the chair in the next two weeks if conditions permit.
Blue has made no significant terrain changes for this season, but a new trail is planned for '07-'08. The mountain is still geared towards families with its variety of terrain and lifts that service green, blue, and black runs from the same point. Blue offers few mogul runs, so advanced skiers may plan to work on speed and handling the steeps rather than style on the moguls. Despite the crowds in the lodge and the lift lines, Blue has enough snow area that the trails themselves rarely seem crowded. Burma Road, the winding green that is prime area for beginners and kids' ski school, is an exception to this rule.
The lodge improvements, especially the Summit Lodge addition, could be a great help in crowd control. Parking at the Valley Lodge has previously been the key to avoiding crowds, but many skiers and boarders still prefer the amenities of the Summit Lodge, including the ski shop and bar. Overall expansion and renovation of both lodges should help with ticket and lunch lines and make for a less hectic off-mountain experience.

About 50 members of the public attended the 12.30pm
discussion, focusing on "The Gaza Trap", held on campus and
co-ordinated by the university's National Centre for Peace
and Conflict Studies.
One of the panelists, Mai Tamimi, a Palestinian and Dunedin
resident who has completed an Otago PhD in human geography,
said she had spent many sleepless nights during the Gaza
She had been following news bulletins and trying to keep in
touch, via the internet, with friends and family in Gaza, to
check they were safe.
More than 30 Palestinian children and many other people had
been killed.
She felt "very proud" New Zealand had recently voted to give
Palestine observer status at the United Nations.
The "window of hope" for a Middle East peace settlement was
still open, albeit by only a small fraction.
An Otago University politics scholar, Emeritus Prof Jim
Flynn, said the recent conflict highlighted the "mutual
tragedy" facing both Palestinians and Israelis.
Another panelist, Prof Andrew Bradstock, who is director of
the university's Centre for Theology and Public Issues, said
later there was scope for the New Zealand Government to use
its good offices to promote genuine peace and understanding
in the Middle East.
Another panelist, Associate Prof Richard Jackson, of the
national centre, said violence would not ultimately resolve
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and he urged more publicity
and support for non-violent forms of conflict resolution.
Prof Kevin Clements, director of the national centre, chaired
the discussion.

Hi everyone !
I have this problem.
The top slider on the home page disappears when I activate a specific module. It's kind of weird because the problem happens lot higher on the page than where the mad module is.
I went to see the source code of each html page :
1 - With the plugin activated = I cant see the slider but the code seems to be ok.
2 - Without the plugin activated = My page on the screen is perfect (expect I don't have the module I want) but there is a weird thing in the html code.
I try to explain :
on the middle of a script code, a other code appears, and divide the first one... (I repeat, I still see the page perfectly)
If you like being stuck, and read code, I think this is a mission for you.
Thanks a lot.
(ps: i have some good knowledges html, but I'm faaaaar away to be a coder...)

Wheldon's death casts pall over sport
LAS VEGAS -- Every race car driver starts every event knowing that the worst moment is possible. And every driver hopes never to see it.
That hope was lost again Sunday.
In a single breath, a much-anticipated IndyCar Series season finale became an unimaginable snapshot of carnage, tragedy and sadness.
Dan Wheldon, the 2011 Indianapolis 500 winner and one of the most popular drivers in open-wheel racing, lost his life at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in a horrific, ...

Dan Wheldon won 16 races in a storied IndyCar Series career, along with two Indianapolis 500s -- including this year's 95th running -- and one title. He was killed on the 11th lap of the Honda Indy 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Oct. 16. He left behind a wife, Susie, and two sons, 2-year-old Sebastian and 6-month-old Oliver.

I was receiving some decent signals for a while but now it just crashes when I try to use it. It says an update is needed but it won't process. The developer website listed is bogus. This has been going on for months. The signals were only as good as the trader anyway. There is no such thing as an 80% or better signal service. Those claiming so, are marketers, not traders.

Hi, I just discovered this plugin, and it looks like it will do exactly what we want-- if it worked... However I am unable to create a new feed.
I was able to successfully connect it to our infusionsoft account and everything was good there. But I can't actually create a feed. When I select the form that I want to map to the infusionsoft fields, it just thinks but does not actually go any further.
In the Javascript console, I see this error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
The location is listed as http://cyndidale.com/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_infusionsoft&view=edit&id=0%20(1)
Another thing that might help -- When I first tried it, I was initially able to create one feed, but when I saved it, I got the following error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/95/4920295/html/cyndidale/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/infusionsoft/infusionsoft.php on line 1049
The error appeared at the top of the field mapping page. After I saw this error I am now unable to create any more feeds (even when I delete the first feed and try to re-add it, I am not able to)
So basically this plugin is not working at all for us right now!!
Can somebody help?

Everyone's expressing surprise that Winston Peters never read the report sent to him by the Combined Threat Assessment Group (CTAG) on Air New Zealand's chartered flights carrying Australian troops.
But everyone knows that Winston doesn't read reports. All he can read is speeches, and everyone knows who was writing the speeches and the Budgets when Winston was sitting in the Treasurer's office with his name on the door. What Winston is missing in his current sinecure is someone like Bill Birch who is willing to help keep his bone idleness and general incompetence from public view. Clearly, Phil Goff, who is effectively the Foreign Minister de facto, is less willing than Birch was to cover for him.

New Soldier

Why wold they lie?
Feb. 17 2004
This review is from:
New Soldier (Paperback)
The reader from Seattle should realize that he is, in effect, saying that all those veterans whose comments show in those interviews are LYING. The obvious question is: Why would they? Some of those comments are soul-baring to an unbelievable degree. Why would ordinary people do that? For publicity? Give me a break. One deranged person, maybe, but not a dozen or two, in a book that will be around for generations.
I would never have been aware of this old snapshot of the past, if those so offended by it had not made such a stink about it. Carrying the flag upside down? Horrors! Everyone should know that that is a signal of distress. And distress we had then, and distress we have now.
What many of us will be watching for is whether John Kerry will now act in accordance with the things he said and did then, or whether he will now be co-opted by the same Establishment he questioned so pointedly in those days.

Men from Earth (Audio CD)
What is it that would make an album like this one of my never-will-get-tired-of-this favorites? I don't know, but I'm delighted to have it on CD at last. I'm also pleased with the bonus tracks.
On the whole, the sound is outstanding too. So far, I haven't noticed a *trace* of tape hiss--although I'm not sure if this is from very clean original tapes, or from modern signal processing (which is not necessarily without its downside). The CD has a much more bottom-heavy sound than the LP, and to my ears it seems like that's due to making instruments like the bass and drums more prominent, rather than EQ changes.
One thing they did flub, though--the fadeouts on some tracks should've been gentler. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that the end of "Homemade Wine" was botched, and I may eventually try to splice the end of the copy on my hits CD onto it to fix the abrupt end.
I remember, in the heyday of Napster, downloading some tracks from the Pickwick CD release of *Don't Look Down*, and finding some of the same abrupt endings, only worse. I was well acquainted with the LP, so it was hard not to notice. Note to New Era people: Are you listening? Please be careful about those fades!
One further comment, in answer to the later reviewer: The Daredevils' CD hits collection (called The Best) has the same shortened version of You Know Like I Know. (I don't know why they would do that, unless the original master tape was seriously damaged or something.)
The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World

my baloney detector is offscale
May 26 2002
This review is from:
The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World (Paperback)
We can argue endlessly about this or that statistic, and clearly, sometimes Lomborg and other critics of environmentalists are sometimes right. The world is not deteriorating by ALL measures, and maybe not even by most. Global human life expectancy, currently at 67 (!), continues to increase, with no sign of slowing down. A smaller percentage of the world's population is actually starving than before. AND we continue to drive species to extinction, draw down water tables, and warm the atmosphere. It's a mixed bag. People in the broad, reasonable middle of the opinion spectrum have to agree on certain things.
But I find the overall direction of Lomborg's claim highly suspect. Obviously, I cannot know what goes on in his mind to lead him to the conclusions he puts forth, but they seem intended to give support to the anti-environmentalist backlash. They set a new high-water mark for sophistication, and for that reason, may be more dangerous than those of his mentors (such as Julian Simon).
Just consider a couple of big-picture things:
(1) Can anyone show me just ONE reputable, peer-reviewed scientific journal, without an obvious axe to grind, that supports Lomborg's claims?
(2) Lomborg says "We invariably choose to prioritize using our limited resources." He also says that "We have grown to believe that we are faced with an inescapable choice between higher economic welfare and a greener environment--only when we get sufficiently rich can we afford the luxury of caring about the environment." So--we can have improving living conditions for the human race, and a better environment, although we may not be able to insist on perfection in either area. Isn't that pretty much what most people in the environmental movement would agree about?
Is Lomborg going through all these statistics just to refute a few romanticist extremists who want to return us to prehistoric conditions? I don't think so.
If Lomborg is really as green as he claims, where is the support for people like Amory Lovins, who is promoting new technologies that support a win-win paradigm? Instead, Lomborg disparages such efforts. He says of wind power, "Even in the unlikely event that the rapid wind power growth rate could continue, it would take 46 consecutive years of 22% growth for wind to overtake oil." Well, wind power has been continuing that growth rate for at least a couple of decades, and there is no sign of it slowing down. On the contrary, there is a report in the May Scientific American (or maybe it was Technology Review about the same time, but I think it was SA), where there have been some real breakthroughs in large-scale wind power very recently. And that's just ONE of the major renewable technologies. And that doesn't even mention conservation technologies, where the real action currently is.
I think 46 more years is somewhat pessimistic, from the trends I've seen. Thirty to forty years, and the fossil fuel era will be coming to an end, if present trends hold. But you wouldn't know that from Lomborg's self-styled "optimistic" analysis.
Read carefully between the lines, and your baloney detector will go off too.
Beyond Contact: A Guide to SETI and Communicating with Alien Civilizations

can't take it seriously
April 14 2002
This review is from:
Beyond Contact: A Guide to SETI and Communicating with Alien Civilizations (Hardcover)
Here's a book that superficially looks like a serious technical discussion of SETI, even to the point where many potential readers may be intimidated by the diagrams, equations, jargon, and so on. But in reality, it's very lacking in solid scientific information.
For example: On page 116, one of the factors mentioned as a limit to OSETI (finding laser beacons and such) is extinction--the attenuation of light due to dust in the intersteller medium. This, it is said, limits our ability to see laser beacons to "a few dozens light years" for visible wavelengths. Really?? Then how come you can go and see stars farther away than that with your naked eye? Oh, because they're brighter! Well, how bright does a laser beacon need to be? How much attentuation is there, in per cent, dB or whatever, at, say, 100 light years? How much does a beam spread out over, say, 100 light years? How much variation in the signal is there over time as a result of dust? Not a BIT of quantitative data on this stuff!
Like all other SETI enthusiasts I've seen, they also ignore another issue: As communication techniques get more advanced, they look more and more like random noise. Our millions of chattering cell phones and internet hosts will almost certainly be undetectable to anyone outside the earth environment, let alone the solar system: Those transmissions have no directionality, they are low power precisely because they are efficient and advanced, and their advanced modulation causes them to look like white noise. Consider a 300 bps modem, with its old-fashioned tone signaling; then listen to a 56k modem, which, except when it's hooking up, sounds almost like rushing steam. It's hard to escape the idea that we will only pick up radio from ET if he intentionally beams it at us, a doubtful proposition unless he's within 60 light years, as he has no way to know of OUR radio transmissions.
A final word about copy editing: I've yet to read a book with absolutely no errors, but at least they could get three-letter words like "its" right. There are other serious errors, such as missing words, the ubiquitous "different than," and other less glaring mistakes. If they can't do better than that, perhaps they should just record audio tapes.
All in all, about a third of the way through, I decided that other books must surely be able to better satisfy my curiosity on this subject.

I LOVE this album!!

This review is from:
Recollection (Audio CD)
I don't often get to say that, but this time I mean it.
It's over two years since I bought this CD, and only just recently have I gotten into it. It's suddenly become one of my favorites.
One thing I am a bit curious about: Why is the version of The Vampire Song on this album call an "edit?" It's a completely different rendition from the one on Bloodletting, and I for one like the Recollection version a LOT better!
I can't wait to get the videos, and check out a few other things, like No Talking Just Head.
And one more thing: Mercedes Benz is about my least favorite track just to listen to, but that doesn't mean it isn't impressive. Johnette manages to out-Janis Janis!
Quest For Immortality: Science At The Frontiers Of Aging
by Jay S Olshansky
23 used & new
3.0 out of 5 stars
informative, but unrealistically conservative
Nov. 24 2001
This review is from:
Quest For Immortality: Science At The Frontiers Of Aging (Hardcover)
I read The Quest For Immortality last spring with some expectation that my preconceptions about aging research would be seriously challenged. Instead, afterward I had the impression that, if this is the best these authors can do to debunk the claims of "prolongevists," then I'm more confident than ever that substantial life extension will be a reality in the near future.
Olshansky and Carnes agree with a variation of the commonly held "wear and tear" theory of aging--a version which holds that accumulated, random unrepaired damage, over time, causes aging. In their view, aging is not programmed by evolution, but results because our cells, though remarkably good at repairing random DNA damage, still do not do so perfectly. But in stating this, Olshansky and Carnes have to ignore some fairly obvious things.
First, somatic cells have, in vitro, been brought from a senescent state back to a more youthful state. So it is clear that not all somatic cells suffer from degraded DNA that induces senescence; it is also clear that the senescence of at least some cells is not the result of random DNA errors, or it could not be so easily reversed.
Second, nowhere is this supposedly critical random DNA damage quantified. Nowhere do they tell you how prevalent the accumulated damage is, how many or what genes it affects, or what tissues suffer most from it. In contrast, adherents of other theories can at least quantify certain aspects of things such as hormone levels or telomere shortening.
Although this book is written in an entertaining style that is well-targeted to the lay reader, I cannot give it more than three stars, not only because I think their reasoning is not persuasive, but also because I think their writing has been deficient in several places. Some examples:
(1) On p. 187, they start a chapter by saying that telomerase was discovered in 1998, and reported with great fanfare. This is not true. I have not been able to find the exact date of discovery, but telomerase was discovered no later than about 1989; this appears to revolve around work done by Carol Greider and Cal Harley at Cold Spring Harbor NY. The 1998 discoveries involved consequences to cells (renewed ability to divide) when telomerase was activated in those cells.
(2) One of the authors starts the book with a foreword in which he heaps scorns on the misguided health concerns of his in-laws--not a high note on which to begin a supposedly serious discussion!
(3) In a similar vein, another chapter starts with several derogatory remarks about the work of Michael Rose with fruit flies. Later, they speak of him in a more complimentary way. If the authors don't think much of Rose's work, fair enough; but they should just say so, and forthrightly tell you why. There seems a puzzling contrast between the different comments made about Rose's work.
(4) Around page 192, in discussing caloric restriction experiments with animals, they suppose that the control animals were allowed to "lay around and get fat," so that the findings would not be generalizable to other normal (not obese) animals. The usual assumption would be that the caloric intake of both groups would be regulated, at different levels. There is no confirmation that this was not the case. Some clarification could be helpful here.
Olshansky and Carnes have used questionable reasoning elsewhere as well. In an article in Scientific American around the time of the book's release, they paint a whimsical picture of what humans would be like if we were designed by nature to live decades longer than we do. Knee joints would be equipped for durability, not speed. Throats would be shaped to prevent choking. And so on. But nature does not design animals to hang on during an extended period of decline; and the aim of prolongevists is likewise not to extend a terminal period of decline, but to preserve youthful functioning. So it's not clear what their purpose is in putting forth this fictional scenario.
Aging research is a field sorely in need of clarification of important questions that are not adequately addressed by this book.
