Liverpool Message Board
More to come in.........
Rafa wants some more players. Who should he get, and who should go?
Ashton, Defoe, and Kuyt are the obvious names for up front. There are still rumours about Joaquin. But which rightback is to cover for Finnan? Aurelio is a leftback (did we need another one?).
Personally, I'd do everything I can to keep Didi, but he wants to play and Rafa can't guarantee him starts. We'll still need somebody to replace him, though there are more than enough midfielders in the squad.
Traore has to go, and I don't see either of Houllier's "gems" staying around. His Zidane (Cheyrou) and Viera (Diao) are both gone, and Cisse looks to be out, as does Kirkland. So who's left to sell?

There's only Pongolle left that he would sell.

Well if Rafa wants to get extra funds why not sell all the players he has on loan whats the point in them being on loan.. when Liverpool still pay their wages... may as well off load them and buy players with the money...

i belive Dudek should be sold as hes kinda gone past his best and wont be getting alot off games if any
Guess you can look at Barragan (just been sold for £1.7M to Deportivo according today's latest thread), Dudek, Kirkland, Kewell(?), Zenden(?), Traore(!), Cisse (eventually), and Gerrard (only joking!)
Kuyt would be a good team player and I think that Defoe would be great to have in as well.

Hi all! don't quite understand WHY we are chasing ALVES, a right back. thought we have adequate cover in Finnan n Kromkamp?we should concentrate in getting a proven goal scorer, like Kuyt or even Defoe.
here's my thought on right winger,if we can't get Pennant, maybe we can recall Pongolle from loan and make him play there,he has pace,and not a bad finisher himself too,maybe just work on his cross delivery.as you can see, I rate him highly, will hate to see him offloaded especially to one of our potential rivals,n could come back to haunt us in future.
what do you folks think? any ideas or alternate views?glad to hear them all.Cheers!

cant see why we would want defoe - he is behind keane and mido at spurs and we wouldnt want either of those. kuyt had a terrible wc and doesnt look like a great player - he just stands out in the dutch league.
i'd like to see david villa here - was suprised mori wasnt used to get him actually. otherwise raid juventos for trzuget and nedved.

Obviously we need a Right winger, player such as Joachin(little expensive), Jermaine Pennant from Birmingham is good enough...
- 1 Reply to The Justifier
why not offer spurs a few quid for lennon as i think he is a great right winger and everyone has there price im sure 10-12million should do the trick and that seems to be the sort of money a top quality right winger is going for these days(simao,alves)and we would be getting proven prem quality and if we are going to gain ground on the top teams we cant afford too many diouf moments

Q: I purchased a squeaky toy for my ferret. After I pressed the toy several times to make the squeaky sound, my ferret jumped at it. He snatched it out of my hand and ran off with it. When I reached down to pet him, he nipped me. I picked up the toy, and he grabbed it again, this time he made a hissing sound. Why would he do that?
A: It seems the squeaky noise that they toy makes stimulates something in the ferret. I am not sure if it sounds like a squeak of a kit (baby ferret) encouraging the behavior or if it sounds like dying prey. Either way, the behavior is stimulated and the ferret runs off with the item or it defends the item.

We've been posting about it for weeks, and Small Business Saturday is here! Whether you still have a list of people to shop for, or simply want to treat yourself today, it's a great time to shop small. Whether you patronize your local clothing boutique, the neighborhood toy store, or even the corner coffee shop, shopping small means supporting business owners in your own neighborhood, and helping your community thrive.
Here at The UPS Store, we love our small business customers, and work closely with them to ensure we understand their challenges, goals, and to find out what they think about small business. In fact, we host a private online community of small business owners – The Small Biz Buzz – where we ask for feedback about products and services, offer access to exclusive content, speakers and products. We also use it to get to learn more about our customers.
We recently asked the business owners in our community why it's important to shop small. Here are just a handful of their responses:
"Small business is the backbone of our community!"
"Smaller businesses are always more interesting and willing to listen to suggestions from customers."
"By shopping locally and at small business I am helping to keep the local economy stable."
"Small local businesses give you a personal touch and great service – I think that is dying away in our retail world – I own a small local business and like to support others."
"It makes a huge city feel like a small town. It is a way of investing in your own community."
"It encourages variety, individuality and friendliness in our town."
"Besides supporting my neighbors, I believe the level of service is far superior in small locally owned businesses. The passion shows."
Whatever your reason we hope you'll consider shopping small today, and supporting the businesses in your neighborhood.
Planning to shop small? Post a response, and tell us about it! And, if you're interested in joining our Small Biz Buzz private online community, click here.

Bank of America's Cost-Cutting Progress Continues
Bank of America showed some positive signs in its fourth quarter earnings report, good news for investors who bought shares recently and helped send the company's shares up about 45% over the last year.
One of the big pillars to the BofA bulls' case is tighter expenses. This quarter, the progress looked mixed on that front.
Overall noninterest expenses for the quarter, $17.3 billion, were down 5.7% from a year earlier, but up 5.6% from the prior quarter.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank has made cost control a top priority under Chief Executive Brian Moynihan, and its cost cutting story has been talked up by analysts. Atlantic Equities Richard Staite recently said Bank of America "has by far the largest cost-cutting story with $9 billion of cost savings still ahead."
In the fourth quarter however, a hefty litigation tab somewhat detracted from overall expense progress. Bank of America's litigation expense was $2.3 billion, compared with $916 million a year earlier and $1.1 billion in the third quarter.
The bank's litigation expense is likely to remain high given ongoing lawsuits like those with the Department of Justice and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz wrote in a note before Wednesday's earnings.
Meanwhile, Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch said the $2.3 billion litigation expense was a whopping $1.8 billion higher than his forecast. "Future earnings levels will be subject to quarterly litigation costs," he predicts.
On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the bank's noninterest expense is up at every single division except the global banking unit, at which expenses are flat. Still Jefferies analyst Ken Usdin says Bank of America made "good progress on the expense front". After stripping out litigation expense and legal asset costs tied to the bank's legacy asset servicing arm– the unit that houses so-called "bad" loans from the bank's purchase of Countrywide– expenses increased by just $100 million versus the prior quarter, which Mr. Usdin says is "a reasonable result" given revenue growth.
The year-over-year picture is better overall, although mixed by division. Bank of America reports higher expenses in its wealth management and markets arms, which it explains as being "revenue-related costs". Global banking noninterest expense also rises, which the bank says is primarily due to higher incentive compensation associated with the "strong performance in investment banking."
Bank of America is able to offset these increases with a 32% expense cut from the year earlier in consumer real estate services–the arm that houses its mortgage business. Expenses in consumer and business banking division–which consist of its bread-and-butter branch banking and also makes loans to small businesses–were also lower compared with the year earlier.
Bank of America said the drop from the fourth quarter of 2012 was driven primarily by reduced expenses in legacy assets and servicing and lower personnel expense.
Like peer Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America has been cutting jobs in response to lower demand for mortgage refinancing and shrinking portfolios of bad loans. Bank of Americas's plan to reduce expenses includes $8 billion of cost savings related to its New BAC expense program and also reducing costs in its mortgage business. Wednesday, the bank said its New BAC and legacy assets and servicing cost cutting programs "remain on track."
Separately, Bank of America's Chief Financial Officer Bruce R. Thompson said more job cuts were ahead for the unit that houses its bad loans.
The bank noted that the first quarter will include about $900 million in annual costs associated with retirement-eligible compensation. It says this is in line with previous years.
On Tuesday, rival Wells Fargo reported its noninterest expense of $12.1 billion dropped about 6% from the year-earlier quarter and was flat from the third quarter. J.P. Morgan reported its noninterest expense fell about 3% from a year earlier and 34% from the prior quarter to $15.55 billion.

Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison of Springfield says he is happy to be alive after someone deliberately ran his car off Interstate 44 - one of several accidents caused by the same driver.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a 26-year-old man from Indiana was arrested after hitting five vehicles Wednesday night near Strafford.
None of the drivers, including Burlison, was seriously hurt.
Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jason Pace says the driver was speeding while side-swiping and clipping the backs of other vehicles.
Burlison told The Springfield News-Leader the driver approached his car, slowed down and then intentionally hit the rear of his vehicle, which spun and was stopped by guardrails.
The patrol says the man was caught soon after when he wrecked the car.

Sarah Brightman Solveig's Song Lyrics
Last updated: 11/21/2006 11:00:00 AM
The winter may pass and the spring disappear
The spring disappear
The summer too will vanish and then the year
And then the year
But this I know for certain: you'll come back again
You'll come back again
And even as I promised you'll find me waiting then
You'll find me waiting then
Oh-oh-oh ....
God help you when wand'ring your way all alone
Your way all alone
God grant to you his strength as you'll kneel at his throne
As you'll kneel at his throne
If you are in heaven now waiting for me
In heaven for me
And we shall meet again love and never parted be
And never parted be!
Oh-oh-oh ....

The Chocolate War
by Robert Cormier
The Chocolate War Chapter 35 Summary
- It's the night of the raffle and Archie can't believe how crazy kids are going for the raffle. He'd arranged everything perfectly, and all it took was a phone call to Jerry Renault, and another phone call to Emile Janza.
- (Flashback time.)
- First, Archie calls Jerry. It takes about fifty rings before Jerry answers, which is understandable under the circumstances.
- Archie says, "Want to get even, Renault? […] Strike back. Get revenge. Show them what you think of their goddamn chocolates?" (35.9).
- He can tell Jerry's listening, so Archie pitches him. He says that he wants to arrange a boxing match between Jerry and Emile Janza.
- Jerry asks Archie how that'll help him settle the score he has with Archie.
- Archie says he doesn't know why Jerry would have a problem with him. Sure, he gave Jerry the chocolates assignment, but Jerry turned it into something else. Archie had nothing to do with Jerry's attack either; violence isn't his style. Nope, Archie just wants to give Jerry a chance to level the playing field. After the match, everybody will be able to put all this silliness behind them.
- And Jerry goes for it; he takes the bait. Archie thinks, "I can con anybody. I am Archie" (35.18).
- (End flashback.)
- Obie is all over the crowded field, trying to hear and see everything that's going on. He has to admit that Archie has created quite the event here. And he's up there in the boxing ring like the king of the event.
- Jerry looks pale, like he's about to get killed.
- Emile looks like a monster that has to be held back until it's time to tear Jerry apart.
- Meanwhile, Jerry's leg has gone numb and he tries to shake it back to life.
- He'd been dying to confront Emile Janza, and so he'd agreed to the fight when Archie had called him. Now he realizes it was a big set up – he hadn't counted on the packed house, the terrible rules. But it's too late now. Archie had known Jerry wouldn't be able to turn back now.
- He wonders what Archie and Emile will do to people out in the world when they grow up. A scary thought.
- Anyhow, here in the ring, Jerry agrees to Archie's rules.
- Brian Cochran can't believe this crazy raffle. He hadn't wanted to be treasurer of the raffle, but now he's liking it OK.
- He couldn't figure out how Archie managed to talk Emile and Jerry into doing this. Archie had explained that one guy is motivated by a hunger for violence, the other by a thirst for revenge. He says that Brian shouldn't worry about stuff like that. He just needs to worry about selling tickets.
- And sell them he is, or, at least, the guys he recruited are selling them.
- Emile hates always being cast as a monster or a villain. He hates that Archie keeps calling him "animal" (35.38). He's a person, too.
- Sure he's not the greatest person in the world; he has to defend himself a lot and stay one step ahead of everybody else.
- He thinks admiringly of how Archie fooled him with that picture. When he'd gotten mad, Archie convinced him it was somehow Renault that should pay. Now he can't wait to fight Renault. He doesn't need to call him gay either. This time, his fists will do all the talking. He wants to tear Renault up in front of the school.
- He wishes he could believe Archie, believe that there really isn't any picture. But he's still not completely sure.

Knitting the Flap

Thanked 159 Times in 124 Posts
I know, from reading on Crochet lists and from my own experience, that knitting doesn't work for everyone. Some people who crochet want
very much
to learn to knit, but have neurological or physical problems which make the "yarn slipping off the needles" and other knitting-coordination challenges too difficult or even impossible to overcome.
For them, knooking makes a few knitted items possible (ribbing on a sweater, for example).
In my own case, I was never able to remember the one and only cast-on I had been shown years ago, *and* didn't know about Continental-style knitting. The combination of the two brought me to a stand. Without casting on, of course, no knitting can take place, and years of maneuvering yarn with my left hand for crochet made that hand very "smart" w/regard to yarn-tensioning and my right hand clueless.
Earlier this very year, I joined a community-service group of women who (
listen up
, any knitters who are prejudiced against crochet...)
were open-minded about crochet
They were more interested in the
actual number
of hats, neck scarves, and baby blankets the group could produce rather than *how* said items were produced. I can generate hats like nobody's business, and neck scarves as well, and
what they wanted to see.
At the monthly meetings, held at a member's house, there are only five to seven women. A nice, small group. As I was walking by one of them after having put a hat on the stack in April, she was "magically" making loops on her needle with (wow!) ONE HAND. I stopped dead.
"Are you...casting on?! with one hand?!" [excitedly]
"Sure. Anything to get loops on the needle fast is fine."
"But...I had no idea there was another cast-on than the one I was showed that I've never been able to remember. This is great!"
"Oh; there are
so many
cast-ons that I don't think I even know them all."
"!" [staggered]
So that logjam was broken. Yes: Backwards Loop Cast-On.
Then I looked in books, etc. (Internet, too, but didn't have the vocabulary yet) for alternate methods of knitting. It was that right-hand thing...and I also saw some of the
Now I'm a beginning knitter, working in Continental style, and have taken a couple of hat- and scarf-making classes at an LYS.
But not everyone has the benefit of two fully functioning hands. I didn't even always have that: for 15 years I had to choose between crochet and my job due to carpal tunnel syndrome. This is how I *
* from the inside out about hand trouble.
So...knooking may be the *only* knitting-like craft available to some people. Don't just jump in and tear it down before realizing that, for them, it may be their only possibility. For others, it may become a bridge to knitting.

Microfarming often begins with a desire to get closer to nature and return to a simpler life. It's attracting green-minded people who turn their love of mushrooms or orchids into a small business.
Micro-farm literally means "little farm" and usually means a farm under one-hundred acres, more or less. Micro farms can be very small, sometimes as small as a residential home backyard, sun room, or, in the case of growing mushrooms for profit, even a basement.
The main requirement for you here, is a
love for growing plants. Everything else can be easily acquired or
learned. And you must be willing to learn how to grow plants in
sufficient quantity and quality to earn a good living.
If you decide to get into microfarming, you will find that gardening, one of America's top pastimes, can be much more than just a hobby, easily earning a full time livelihood, and without owning acres and acres of land.
In temperate climates, even a backyard, sunny room, or basement is all that is needed to grow fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, sprouts, edible flowers, orchids, yellow sugar baby watermelons, blue fingerling potatoes, squash blossoms, and much, much more, the variety of possibilities goes on and on.
Even if you don't live in a temperate climate, you can still have a small business in microfarming, by growing plants for their flowers, growing other plants for resale such as tropical plants, medicinal herbs, mushrooms, heirloom varieties of vegetables and fruits, and countless other plants by growing plants in a greenhouse. Greenhouse nurseries have become the sixth largest source of agricultural products in America.
In order to succeed as a microfarmer you need to have a knowledge of plants, including a knowledge of what makes plants grow, plant diseases, organic fertilizers, and more. And you must be willing to learn what you need to in order to grow crops of sufficient quality and quantity to make a living.
Good bookkeeping skills are required in order to keep track of your cost and profit. And you will need, above all, great persistence as you research potential customers, such as restaurants, gift basket stores, and markets.
Talk to friends you know that are into horticulture. Visit other farms, local nurseries, and arboretums. Check out books at the public library on gardening, farming, micro farming, and starting a small business. The Internet is an excellent source for all this information also. I highly recommend Scott and Suzzie Kelland's e-books on Growing For Market (see green type paragraph below).
If you are already into gardening and you pretty much already have the equipment, your start-up costs may be small. But if you are a beginner and starting from scratch, your costs could be as high as $10,000 or more, depending on such factors as the amount of land you plan on utilizing, whether or not you need to purchase a greenhouse, special vehicles (a truck or van may be necessary).
However, maybe you would prefer a more economical route, starting a home business at the beginning, using your backyard and equipment that you already have, with plans to move into something on a larger scale later.
To give you an idea of the potential earnings: according to a survey by Growing for Market newsletter, grower sales at Farmers' Markets (sometimes called Greenmarket) has averaged $1,000 per day. At New York's Green Market, gross sales can reach $3,000 a day!

My instrument panel lights are going on and off randomly. Seems to be the dashboard dimmer switch that is the cause. I was able to get them to stay on for a while by wedgeing a thin piece of plastic against the slider. Has anyone replaced it? If so, are there separate switches, or is it one big module with the headlight switch, dashboard dimmer, and in my case the rear defogger switch. should have mentioned that the headlight switch has the auto mode, off, park lights, headlights. If so, where can i get one?
BTW, the jeep is a '97 GC.

This site runs horribly, if it runs at all. Am I doing something weird with WordPress? I'm not overloading it or, if I were, there'd be no hope for blogs that churn out several posts a day. They do exist and run happily. No, even the management suite can fail to load at times, so there has to be something fundamentally wrong.
I'll start with my domain host. To this end, I'll be shutting this site down for a while to transfer it to a new host – one in the UK, in case that's an issue. I've picked on eUKhost because they run PHP and MySQL – both necessary for WordPress. They also run ASP.NET, which I need for my portal and burgeoning business empire – ha-ha. I'll also get subdomains so that I can continue to use blog.theandygibb.com.
The next problem will be my email address, which shows up as spam on several mail servers, like Hotmail. This can happen when a host's IP is marked as bad because of some spammy or otherwise dodgy site on the same host. Not that I'm casting aspersions.
Finally, eUKhost do offer a shopping cart, which may be nice-to-have. I do want some sort of bookshop and checkout system although I think PayPal does provide a one-item payment feature.
So, cross fingers and hope I can transfer with few glitches (I'm too old a hand to expect a smooth passage – oo-er, missus) and that the site really does speed up. It's almost unworkable at the moment.

A rollback recovery scheme for distributed systems is proposed. The state-save synchronization among processes is implemented by bounding clock drifts such that no state-save synchronization messages are required. Since the clocks are only loosely synchronized, the synchronization overhead can be negligible in many applications. An interprocess communication protocol which encodes state-save progress information within message frames is introduced to checkpoint consistent system states. A rollback recovery algorithm that will force a minimum number of nodes to roll back after failures is developed.

GAME: Dallas Stars (17-17-7-0) at Anaheim Mighty Ducks (13-17-4-5).TIME: Monday, 10:30 p.m. EST.
The Dallas Stars know that in order to make their move up the Pacific Division standings, they must start eliminating silly mistakes.
They'll look to break a four-game winless streak when they meet the Anaheim Mighty Ducks at Arrowhead Pond.
The Stars, five points behind first-place San Jose in the Pacific, are 0-1-3 since beating the Columbus Blue Jackets on Dec. 27. Two defensive lapses cost them a chance at a victory in a 2-2 tie against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
Kings forward Martin Straka scored a short-handed goal with 22 seconds left in regulation and Ziggy Palffy scored in the first period after an ill-fated clearing pass by Dallas goaltender Marty Turco.
"That's the second time that's happened to us in three games," Dallas right wing Bill Guerin said, referring to Niklas Sundstrom's tying goal with a minute left in a 1-1 tie Wednesday with Montreal.
"Who knows if those are the ones that are going to bite us in the butt when it comes down to it?"
Dallas center Stu Barnes ended an 18-game scoring drought, and Guerin also scored for the Stars, who are winless in their last seven games against division rivals.
"We did a lot of things well, but it's always frustrating when you give up a goal in the last minute and don't win," Dallas coach Dave Tippett said. "We were looking for two points."
The Ducks have lost two straight and five of their last seven. Jean-Sebastian Giguere made 38 saves Saturday, but Anaheim fell to the Detroit Red Wings 3-1.
"Overall, you've got to play 60 minutes," Anaheim center Sergei Fedorov said. "We gave up a couple quick chances against a team like that, it's hard to win. Everything else was fine."
Andy McDonald scored for the Ducks, extending his goal streak to three games.

We Got That Ham Baby
Tori from Down Home Catering drove her sled to the station this morning bearing gifts. She brought that wood, er...a...ham baby. I have that at 300 degrees for about another 20 minutes and then it's on. My plate that is. As I mentioned yesterday it is Christmas Week. I love it when the guest come up and become part of the show. But lets be honest here. It don't suck when they bring food! Thank you Tori and Down Home Catering!
Trainer to the legend Tommy Smith, Andrea also visited The Show With No Name this morning. She too brought food. Hers was in the form of some very good for you protein bars. You know someone is serious about their health and doing right when all you see them drink is water. Or they have a big mug of water right? Well Andrea travels with a container big enough to hold half of Niagara Falls. Shoot, I could go over Niagara Falls in it. She is really a super person and is doing wonders with The Outlaw and for that we are eternally grateful.
Tomorrow 'Wildman' Steve Wilson and Lindy come in for a chat. It should be a good deal of fun. Wednesday is also the last show David Bazzel does before heading to his place of birth for Christmas with his mom and dad.
The oven says it's time to eat. That's right my oven talks!
Thanks for listening and making The Buzz 103.7 your #1 station. Join The Show With No Name from 6a-10a Mon-Fri with Tommy Smith, David Bazzel, Danny-Joe Crofford and myself.

Want a Room with a View? This Hotel Has One of Hell
It isn't the Ritz, but hundreds of young people from Europe and across the U.S. consider the Carlton Arms the hippest hostelry in Manhattan. "Who needs first class?" asks Allesandro Foti, 21, a design student from Milan. "The art is the entertainment." Indeed it is: All but 10 rooms in the Carlton Arms are splashed with flamboyant murals by young artists. And since rooms go for $29.95 to $34.45 a day, with a discount for students and foreign travelers, word of mouth keeps the place well-booked. "Totally great!" raves Tom Wolinski, 24, a student from Minneapolis. "I just wrote a three-page letter about the wild, bug-eyed guys on my wall who freak me out every time I wake up."
To achieve its cachet, the Carlton Arms underwent an innovative refurbishing starting six years ago. Built in 1890, the 54-room, four-story building had become a seedy residential hotel by the '70s, when its East 25th Street neighborhood was plagued by prostitution, drugs and crime. Then in 1981, Ed Ryan, 39, a friend of the manager, showed up to help. "The manager couldn't take all the lunacy," says Ryan. "He left, and I got his job." As residents moved out or died, Ryan cleaned up their rooms. He converted a street-level display window, the boiler room and the lobby into art galleries. Abraham Chu, a Taiwanese businessman who bought the place in 1982, saw red ink turn to black. "I knew whatever he was doing, it was good," recalls Chu. "So I said, 'Keep it up.' "
That was all the encouragement Ryan needed. By that time his staff was made up mostly of struggling artists. "We really believed that art could radically change the energy of the place," says Gil Dominguez, 40, a painter from California who helps run the hotel. In 1983 Dominguez was given free rein to paint the stairwell (there is no elevator) with nightclub scenes, car crashes and images of women from ancient mythology. Two years later Brian Damage, 29, who created elaborate disco decor at Studio 54 and Danceteria, developed the idea of muraling entire rooms. He began by giving room 7A a Heaven and Hell motif showing an abandoned New York City in the harsh, blue light of nuclear winter. Then Minneapolis artist Collette Jennings, 29, covered another room with scenes of Renaissance Venice and made the closet look like a fortune-teller's booth. The avant-garde art world is beginning to take notice. "The hotel is incredible—total environmental art," says free-lance curator Tricia Collins. "It's a testimonial to art's transformative powers."
For longtime residents who still occupy 10 rooms in the Carlton Arms, the new atmosphere is more than a facelift. "It's given me hope," says Jerry Burns, 51, who has done odd jobs around the hotel. "It keeps you alive. In a dingy atmosphere, you just give up." One resident family is paid to clean the entire building, and another occupant changes linens and towels daily. "We're not trying to get these people out," says desk clerk Nora Salazar, 23. "They're part of it all. They tell incredible stories about the old days, and travelers love them."
Ryan's renovation is so popular that there is now a waiting list of artists hoping to redo a group of rooms that will be renovated next year. While they work, artists receive free rent and supplies, and sometimes they get carried away. Brian Damage holed up for 12 weeks, obsessively revising his submarine room until Ryan finally made him stop. But the work can also pay unexpected dividends. At parties celebrating newly decorated rooms, artists mingle with collectors and sometimes get other commissions. "You really have to hustle to show in a gallery," says Christopher Walsh, 32, who painted a room with abstract cityscapes. "This is one of the few places where new artists can show work."
Not everyone gets a warm welcome at the Carlton Arms. "We don't want whiners and complainers," Ryan says. "These people who call up and say, 'What? No TV? No phone?' " He doesn't want some of his former tenants either. In 1984 the hotel regressed briefly when drug dealers infiltrated the place, but Ryan fought to regain control. "It's as if there's some force trying to creep back in," he says. "If we relax, what's taken years to build up can fall down in weeks." To make sure it doesn't, Ryan and his friends are firming up the foundation, not with mortar, but with more brushstrokes of paint.

The New York Times reports:
Peter Gleick Admits to Deception in Obtaining Heartland Climate Files … Gleick has admitted to an act that leaves his reputation in ruins and threatens to undercut the cause he spent so much time pursuing.
Warmy activist Gleick himself writes:
My judgment was blinded by my frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded, and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists and prevent this debate, and by the lack of transparency of the organizations involved.
Nevertheless I deeply regret my own actions in this case. I offer my personal apologies to all those affected.
Further from the NYT's Andrew Revkin:
Gleick's use of deception in pursuit of his cause after years of calling out climate deception has destroyed his credibility and harmed others. (Some of the released documents contain information about Heartland employees that has no bearing on the climate fight.) That is his personal tragedy and shame (and I'm sure devastating for his colleagues, friends and family).
Ben Cubby won't be too happy, either. We also await word from Graham Readfearn.
UPDATE. Time's Bryan Walsh:
The problem for climate advocates, of course, is that suspicion will only grow that Gleick falsified the original document now that he has admitted using deception to get the additional memos. (And just so we're clear, this is deception—no reputable investigative reporter would be permitted to do what Gleick did. It's almost certainly a firing offense) …
Worst of all—at least for those who care about global warming—Gleick's act will almost certainly produce a backlash against climate advocates at a politically sensitive moment. And if the money isn't already rolling in to the Heartland Institute, it will soon.
It is to ROFL, along with Junk Science:
He did it for the planet.
And here's Anthony Watts:
For the record Dr. Gleick, I am not "anonymous, well-funded, and coordinated" as you suggest. And you have damaged me and my business. I suspect I'll be seeing you in court to protect my rights, along with many others, sir.
UPDATE II. Gold! Warmies hail Gleick:
Whistleblowers - and that's the role Gleick has played in this instance - deserve respect for having the courage to make important truths known to the public at large. Without condoning or promoting an act of dishonesty, it's fair to say that Gleick took a significant personal risk - and by standing and taking responsibility for his actions, he has shown himself willing to pay the price. For his courage, his honor, and for performing a selfless act of public service, he deserves our gratitude and applause.

That's how a ten year old reacts. From an adult it it really is damning.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:27pm)
Agreed, Walter Plinge: it's an updated version of the "fake but accurate" idea that was propagated after Dan Rather's career-ending report in 2004. Perhaps Gleick can use it when he's hauled up before the beak.
Sucked in hippie!

The sea level? How so? Was it Tony Abbott's day off?
It was fake but accurate ...
Gleick still denies prooducing the fraudulent 2012 strategy document "Confidential Memo: 2012 Heartland Climate Strategy":
"At the beginning of 2012, I received an anonymous document in the mail describing what appeared to be details of the Heartland Institute's climate program strategy."
"At the beginning of 2012, I received an anonymous document in the mail describing what appeared to be details of the Heartland Institute's climate program strategy."

Could these idiots be any more arrogant, hypocritical and dishonest if they tried?
Oh and what "debate"? - The "science was settled", remember?
Tue 21 Feb 12 (01:29pm)

Besides which, it is always the warmy poindexters that run from debate like a bunch of sissy girls.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:59pm)
these idiots claim that the science is settled and hurl insults like "flat earther" and [holocaust]"denier" at anyone who dares to disagree with them, and they say we're preventing a "debate"?!?!
It's we skeptics who would like to have an open and honest debate.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:32pm)
Heartland Institute had a seminar/conference just last Nov. They have a standing invitation to any warmistas to join them and specifically invited Gleick to it. He refused. He is also the chair of a committee on ethics in science for the American Geophysics Union (AGU).
Wasn't it Benny Cubby from the Age who suggested that taking on climate sceptics was "like shooting fish in a barrel"?
Looks like some of the trout have armed themselves and started to return fire.

Fairfax are looking a bit like Melville's Pequod (the ship not the whale). They still have an active link to the stolen Heartland documents and the fake Heartland strategy document.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (10:06pm)
Yes he did, in a gleeful tweet to Morton. This was prompted by the completely fabricated 'dissuading teachers from teaching science' quote from Gleik's Clique's forgery.
Others who joyfully paraded this fraud last week included Moonbat and Eric Campbell from the ABC.
Waiting for a correction and apology. I think we have 'Holmes' chance of that but..
By "prevent this debate", he means they were trying to, uhh ... have one?
Yes. That's exactly what he means. Because what he means by "debate" is "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP".
On the plus side, for Gleick at least, this will not harm his reputation in the slightest, especially if he's found to have been the one who fabricated the "discourage science" memo. There's nothing quite like craven lying to cement your reputation among progs as a fearless truth-teller.

There's nothing quite like craven lying to cement your reputation among progs as a fearless truth-teller.
You wins 5 internet.
So the material is authentic as claimed,and Heartlands got some explaining to do about its charitable status. Good of Gleick to confess his role.
Now Heartland,or any of you other 'Ostriches of the Apocalypse',also needs to explain how the obtaining,distribution and editorialising of the Climategate emails is ethically different to Gleick's action.
Logically coherent answers only,please.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (01:33pm)
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:43pm)
Logic fail.
The material that Gleick obtained from Heartland was real. The one that he claims to have received anonymously was fake. Gleick's comment that the real material confirms "some" of the statements in the fake document is pathetic - what are those "some" statements? That the organisation is named "Heartland Institute"?
And why should we assume that the Climategate emails were obtained by deception? What evidence is there of that?
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:56pm)
is authentic as claimed
No. The key document is faked, and the Heartland Institute has called it as such.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:18pm)
The difference was that most sceptics did not immediately rush to embrace the Climategate emails, until they could confirm that they were authentic. In other words they (shock, horror) acted like sceptics. Phil Jones of UEA was the first to confirm that the emails were authentic and hadn't been tampered with. It was only then that many sceptics began to really delve into the emails. The same process of confirmation before commenting occurred with Climategate II emails.
On the other hand, one bogus document is enough to ignite a frenzied attack by those who purport to be aligned with the "science"
PS Heartland isn't a charity, but you knew that
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:26pm)
I asked for logically coherent answers,Mr B.
Heartland have claimed one item is a fake,but not proved it.Gleick claims it is genuine,but not proved it. Stalemate so far.
Gleick has admitted to deception. Why should we assume the climategate emails were obtained legally,when we bloody well know they were not!
Why would I believe Heartland [a classically Orwellian name] when they pushed tobacco disinformation for years,and are still funded by big tobacco? When Joe Bast tries to intimidate those who disapprove of his groups ethics?
Will FOIA have the guts to out himself?
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:43pm)
Logically coherent answers only,please.
Easy difference… fake documents vs real documents and a private organisation vs government funded organisation which in turn is basically accountable to all those that pay their taxes.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:01pm)
Logically coherent questions first.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:40pm)
After more than two years the plods over in England have not demonstrated that the Climategate e-mails weren't released by an in-house leaker AKA whistleblower. The e-mails were apparently assembled in response to a FOI request that the CRU decided not to honor. CRU is a publically (taxpayer based) organization who are subject to FOI. Personal information was deleted prior to release. None of the e-mails have been fraudulent
Heartland Institute received an e-mail proporting to be from a board member. This is fraud. This is interstate/wire fraud. A big deal. HI is a private institution. Private. Funded by private individuals. Not subject to FOIA. Personal information to include addresses, phone numbers, etc. was not deleted. Several donors have already been harassed and threatened. The most damaging of the documents has been proven to be a fraud.
There is no equivalence.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:47pm)
When you can't produce a decent Apocalypse, you need to tweak your modelling for a new tipping point, Climategate 101 ... read your Gore.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:52pm)
The memo that has everybody of the climate catastropharians ship ventilating is actually the fake. The authentic ones appear to be relatively benign. I would also point out that the climategate emails are authentic. It appears most likely that they were released by an internal source and not obtained by deception. They were from a publically funded organisation and, as such, are open to freedom of information and, therefore, it is not illegal to display them. They clearly show the efforts to distort not only the science, but also the peer review and IPCC report development processes. The only thing to turn up with the authentic Heartland documents was how pathetic their levels of funding are compared with the eco extremists and the government's pet pseudo scientists. It speaks volumes for how effective the Heartland Institute is in that they are winning the debate against such overwhelming odds.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (05:16pm)
To the extent that the Climategate and Heartland Institute documents were obtained through fraudulent or unlawful means, then there is no excuse and the perpetrators should be dealt with appropriately.
However, there is a difference in the substance of the two sets of documents: there is no real debate that the Climategate emails are genuine whereas the critical document in the Heartland collection (the "strategy memo") is fraudulent.
You can debate the meaning of the Climategate emails; to me, there is a strong atmosphere of trying to stifle debate through inappropriate practices such as filtering data, refusing to comply with legitimate FOI requests and a corruption of the "peer review" process (to the point where that term is now meaningless in climate science). Regardless of how the Climategate emails were obtained, what they show about the practices of the AGW community is worthy of comment.
The faked Heartland "strategy memo" is altogether different: it was a dishonest attempt to besmirch the reputation of a number of a number of people and institutions who have been critical of the AGW theory by lying about their activities and motivations. Personally, I'm tired of the brain-dead cliché that anyone criticising the AGW theory is in the pay of Big Oil, Big Coal, Big whatever.
What is really disheartening is the number of commentators already coming forward and supporting Peter Gleick as some sort of well-meaning martyr to the AGW cause rather than as an activist lacking any integrity.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (05:33pm)
Billy Ruben comment at 3:26pm: "Heartland have claimed one item is a fake, but not proved it. Gleick claims it is genuine, but not proved it. Stalemate so far".
Dude, who is the "denialist" now? The evidence that the Heartland "strategy memo" is a fake is pretty compelling and points to its author residing in the Pacific Time Zone (on the US western coast) ... where Dr Gleick happens to reside. By contrast, the Heartland Institute is located in the Central Time Zone.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (06:08pm)
Now Heartland,or any of you other 'Ostriches of the Apocalypse',also needs to explain how the obtaining,distribution and editorialising of the Climategate emails is ethically different to Gleick's action.
Logically coherent answers only,please.
Says Billy Rubin.
Let me spell out the profound difference between the two for you Billy boy.
Climategate emails were FOId but the scientists refused illegally. If not for the statute of limitations, they would have been charged.
Furthermore, the emails of UEA employees are PUBLIC PROPERTY whereas the Heartland documents belong to a private entity.
Comprehendo Billy boy?
Tue 21 Feb 12 (08:00pm)
Humbug states: "Climate gate emails were FOId but scientists refused illegally"
That is garbage,utter invention. The FOI requests,over several years, were for various sets of processed temperature data and palaeo datasets. BTW,none of the applicants have done anything interesting with the info they obtained.
No one requested 15 years worth of cached emails.
UEA emails are not public property,but are confidential communications subject to reasonable,not vexatious,FOI access. Heartland documents indeed belong to a private entity...thankfully we now know a little more about this fake charities activities. They'll be hearing from the IRS. Gleick has done us all a service...or do you think that wealthy private individuals and corporations should have more say over public policy than the rest of us while avoiding tax?
Have a look through all the documents,take your time.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (08:09pm)
"Heartland have [sic] claimed one item is a fake, but not proved it. Gleick claims it is genuine, but not proved it."
The probative burden must be on those who reject null hypotheses. The default position is that the Heartland Institute would know which documents are genuine and which are not. The alternative hypothesis—that asserted by Dr Gleick, a proven and confessed liar—requires evidence.
Similarly, the null hypothesis for global climate is that the very slight global warming over the last century is natural and cyclical; the pseudo-scientific conjecture of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming has not been proven. Invalid computer modelling by corrupt, biassed propagandists, who lack historical and statistical knowledge, does not constitute proof.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (09:18pm)
Keith,the first chunk of climategate was sent to the people that could verify them quite quickly,as well as to those who would reliably go nuts about them.That's the reason why authentication and misrepresentation were near synchronous.
In this case,Gleick did not send a copy back to Heartland...but what of it? The stuff is authentic,and people like Bob Carter and Craig Idso have confirmed the payment figures,however reluctantly. Heartland has already apologised to the outed donors,which is de facto confirmation. Heartland are fixating on one short document,hoping you won't read the rest...a diversionary strategy,straight out of their own playbook.
The so-called fake was mailed--snail mailed-- to Gleick. he probably scanned it.
I'd never accuse all anti AGW types of being in the pay of etc. There's lots of volunteerism. But Heartland is a mouth for hire,and we have a need to know what big money is doing secretly on the lobbying front. Anyone disagree? Then don't be curious about the WWF,etc.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (10:16pm)
It's simple, Billy Rubin. You just have to take Peter Gleick at his own word. In the Huffington Post article linked by Tim, you'll notice that Gleick never makes a positive confirmation that the material in question, the "anonymously obtained" material, is authentic. The best he can do is allude to similarities to authentic documents obtained from Heartland Institute, via his own deception.
Gleick does not claim to have successfully autenticated the anonymously obtained, fake material. End of story.
Wed 22 Feb 12 (01:41am)
It wouldn't matter if we gave you logical coherent answers Billy, or if we linked you to a series of "Rick Roll" YouTube videos. You've already made up your mind that the Heartland Institute is evil personified and that anyone who sides with them is an "Ostrich of the Apocalypse".
It's patently obvious that no evidence to the contrary will change your mind; be it an outright confession of guilt from the person who forwarded the documents to Gleick in the first place, nor any forensic debunking of the fraudulent document.
You are not interested in facts, or truth, no matter what you may bleat. You've made up your mind that AGW zealots (like you) can do no wrong, and that skeptics (or deniers as you would prefer to call us) are either deliberately ignorant or in the pay of "Big Fossil".
All you are doing here is trolling, and you should be treated as such. Crawl back to DeSmear, Crikey, GetUp! or whatever Green/Leftist hole it was that sent you.
Wed 22 Feb 12 (09:04am)
Meet the criminal defense attorney who's representing lil' ol' Peter Gleick: John Keker, who defended Enron's CFO Andrew Fastow.
I can explicitly confirm, as can the Heartland Institute, that the documents they emailed to me are identical to the documents that have been made public. I made no changes or alterations of any kind to any of the Heartland Institute documents or to the original anonymous communication.
Caught out but still trying to cover his arse. Let him now post the exact content of any email Heartland sent him that confirms the doctored PDF at the centre of the matter. Should be no problem for him to put them up side by side and prove his cash for comments stance, unless of course he is still lying.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (01:58pm)
Tue 21 Feb 12 (09:56pm)
re: " I made no changes or alterations of any kind to any of the Heartland Institute documents or to the original anonymous communication."
OK. So he made no changes or alterations to the Heartland doc OR to the fake doc.
He made the fake doc up out of whole cloth. Since "alter" implies a pre-existing document, his claim that he didn't "alter" it could be perfectly true. Depends upon what "is" is.
Weasel words.
my frustration with the ongoing efforts — often anonymous, well-funded, and coordinated — to attack climate science and scientists and prevent this debate ...
errr, doesn't a debate entail hearing from both sides?
What he means is those nasty sceptics kept revealing the flaws in his propaganda. He completely failed to answer their arguments, so had to revert to deception to get his point advanced.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:07pm)
Bizarre, this notion that people who question the settled science are attempting to "prevent debate..."
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:09pm)
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:40pm)
What "settled science"? Science is never settled as the next piece of research can invalidate the entire edifice of what was thought before.
I think you mean "Bizarre, this notion that people who question the so-called settled science are attempting to "prevent debate..."
All that excess CO2 made him light-headed. Pffft !
I note he admits to obtaining the documents via deception, but not knowing the source of the "original" document, which has subsequently been found to be fake. Glieck only came clean because Heartland had announced that he was "an obvious suspect". I hope they sue him beyond the orbit of Mars.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:28pm)
If these people raise monies from the public and donors by making falsified documents ... hasn't a major crime taken place?
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:28pm)
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:57pm)
Leaving aside the money raising, he has committed at least three crimes, one at least that is a felony in the states.
1. Forging and Uttering. He admits forging a request for the documents and forwarding that to Heartland.
2. Intention to Commit Fraud and Fraudulently obtaining goods or services by deception. They could actually count as two separate charges.
3. Receiving stolen goods.
If he faked the scanned document that would bring another count of forging and uttering. He may find he has lots of time to sit in prison and contemplate his navel soon.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (04:45pm)
I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it Gleick obtained the e-mails by representing himself as someone else. That in itself is illegal. He also used the internet to do which makes it an interstate offense and that brings in the Feds—assuming that Holder won't step on that investigation. Obama has a lot of skin in the game on the warmist side and Holder hasn't been particularly intrerested in upholding the law.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (11:34pm)
Can some just call the police and get it over with. Why is Heartland staying it's hand?
You don't have to be "well-funded" to know a scam, particularly one that's been caught with its pants down so often.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:29pm)
Gillard will be jubilant. She probably thought it would take months replace Tony Hodges' specialist media skills, and the uber-green Mr Gleik suddenly finds himself at a loose end.
That karma wheel just keeps rolling.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:42pm)
Egad. I thought Readfearn would be living with the Occupussies by now. It's interesting that everything he writes is apparently so balanced, factual and brilliantly concieved and yet those who hold different views are lying, underhanded, one-sided mouth-pieces for big (insert conspiracy partner).
Professor Carter said: "Scientists are paid not to have agendas or opinions, but to summarise the scientific evidence."
Now I have to say I found this last statement pretty rich, coming from someone who is continually writing opinion pieces for newspapers and websites.
That quote from Readfearn's piece on the Drum Opinion website.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:47pm)
Just who's "preventing debate", you whiffy beardo?
You hippy commie authoritarians have shouted down any debate at every opportunity; although I think karma's bollocks, it's one of your shibboleths so wear it, hairshirt boy.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (02:53pm)
Tue 21 Feb 12 (09:42pm)
I love hairshirt boy. Maybe Readfern needs a hairshirt boy to alter that pic of his. He continues to look as thick as he sounds.
Quick! Scramble the committee that investigated the Climategate emails and found "no evidence of wrongdoing"! Flash the Gore-signal! Circle the wagons! Re-route all power to main shields! INCOMING!!
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:14pm)
Gleick. Funny name. He'd have to be from Adelaide huh.
Tue 21 Feb 12 (03:28pm)
I wonder will Readfearn's voice hit an M over High C as his head explodes? Would love to be there when it does!
