Hey, I'm Richard!
We're from Newport Beach in Sydney, Australia. I swim and surf most days and am a volunteer Surf Life Saver. My son Ethan is a Junior Surf Life Saver (we start them young) and my wife, Franca is a school teacher. We are a fit and active family, very laid back and uncomplicated. We are are clean, tidy and respectful of others property and live by this simple rule - treat others the way you like to be treated.
My wife and I have travelled extensively (I've lived in five countries) and we're now exploring the world with our son. We love music, although my wife and I have different tastes. I'm into jazz, blues, Dylan, Hendrix, The Doors, The Who, Pink Floyd, Punk etc , whilst my wife prefers light and fluffy, think, Madonna. Our son proficiently plays the trumpet and violin (but we don't travel with it!!!). We also enjoy theatre, art and good food. I'm the big reader in the family and prefer history, politics, philosophy, so think anything from Camut to Orwell, to the history of the Irish Potato Famine to the genre, reportage.
As guests we are clean, tidy and quiet and undemanding. All that we ask is that your description online is accurate and honest - we're fairly black and white in that regard. Cheers!

Stupid me! I thought. What was I thinking, anyway, recklessly following a possibly hostile ball of light through an unfamiliar maze of tunnels deep into the earth. For all I knew, there were dangers lurking in every nook and cranny, slithering monsters from some ancient epoch like in that H.P.Lovecraft novel I read that time. Or maybe I had reached the gates of hell and hideous demons would soon be coming to drag me deep down into a boiling lake of pitch with sulphurous fumes. If so, I probably deserved it. Maybe I should have just stayed at the academy. There, at least, I knew what to expect, as dreadful and dreary as it was.
So there I was, hunched over an especially uncomfortable rock, damp and shivering, hugging myself and feeling the usual self-pity which has never, ever done me any good, but sometimes its all I have to hold on to, like a familiar friend. At the moment I was feeling especially small and worthless, like an insignificant blot on the earth, lower than low. I wasn't even all that scared anymore, because the darkness inside me was more real and depressing than the darkness of the cave. Besides, I was getting real hungry. It had been awhile since I'd eaten that sandwich in the box car.
I was even thinking I'd be better off dead, my life had no meaning anyway, when her voice came from right there beside me, Snap out of it! This is no time for a pity party, and I was so startled I screamed.
"It's only me, you numbskull," Selena assured me, "not some demon from hell." How did she know what I'd been thinking? But then, she always had.
Now I was kind of angry. If she's really my friend, why'd she desert me in my moment of need? I asked, perhaps too sharply, "Where've you been, anyway? You're never around when I need you!" But even as I spoke, I realized I was behaving like a child. "Forget it, you don't have to answer. Just tell me how we're gonna get out of this place." I had slowly gotten off my haunches, which wasn't easy since my muscles were sore from all that squatting.
"Just hold on and let me think, will you," Selena retorted. Which was strange. She usually has all the answers just like that, without having to think. Now she was thinking for quite some time while I stretched and moved about, trying to get my blood circulating again. I was feeling more and more like a real person with my own needs and desires and the very real possibility of making choices, not merely an object tossed this way and that either by the winds of chance or according to some predetermined plan. "Okay," she finally said. "There's something about this place that seems familiar, like we've been here before."
I dredged deep into my well of memories, both real and imagined, some possibly implanted by the enemy that pursued me. An image flashed into my mind before slipping back into the depths. "I think I may have been here before," I replied. "In my dreams. But I can't picture you at all. I don't think you come to me in my dreams."
"I'm not talking about your weird, convoluted dreams," she said impatiently.

Hello Ladies,
I dont post on her all too often, mainly because Im so busy and tired by the time I have a moment, but I do read alot of posts and I know there are many of you who are very helpful and give wonderful advice. Maybe there is someone out there who can offer me some kind of advice with this HORRIBLE situation my family is going through. I am going out of my mind! This is sort of a long story, so I apologize in advance for the length...
My DH, 3yo son and 4 month old live in a rented house on Long Island. We rent the main floor and there are other tenants living in the basement apt. We have lived here for 3 years. My brother lived here for the 3 years prior to us living here as well. The tenants downstairs are a man and his 22 year old, and the mans EX-wife. The 45ish year old women is clearly unstable, does not work, drinks/smokes and sleeps all day. The ex husband has been claiming he hates her and was trying to kick her out for years but she would be homeless and since she is the mother of his son, he had a hard time putting her out on the street.....
She was never friendly to me since the day we moved in, but there was no problems initally. After about a year of living here she started being nasty and rude to me... nothing major - just dirty looks and a couple of times she drove by me and gave me the middle finger... petty BS. Then started throwing the garbage pails at my front door - disconnecting our dryer louver thing that sticks out of the house.... stuff like that. Then she put a strange powder CHEMICAL on grates of our barbeque. (we still do not know what it was!!). At that point I started complaining to the landlord because she was clearly out to harm us in some way. PLUS... she smokes in the apt, and my baby's bedroom woulld STINK of smoke and pot numerous times a week. The apt. is an illeagal apt, so the landlord couldnt really "evict" them but was threatnening to kick them ALL out if she didnt leave. Apparently the landlord had NO idea that this women was even living in the home. (its a one bedroom and she sleeps on the floor). Needless to say - almost a year later, and numerous promises from the landlord and ex-husband that she would be moving out - she still is there, and still doing petty BS to us all the time. Last weekend she stuck metal skewars through the screen of our bedroom window and into our window fan and broke it.
My husband has had words with her numeorus times... she claims she "doesnt like us because we are loud and obnoxious". when she was asked WTF her problem with us was in the past.... Mind you... we are quiet people, do not entertain often, and our kids are in bed before 8pm every single night! Anyway... after the fan incident he ran outside when he heard her coming in and had a confrontation with her again. She out of nowhere said that she was going to call CPS on us for "locking our son in a closet in his highchair". My DH was dumfounded when she said that... but coming from a crazy person we thought it was just crazy talk. OBVIOUSLY we have never in our lives locked our son anywhere. We have never laid a hand on him - we adore our children!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who knows us or has met our children know this to be true. I honestly just thought she was just drunken babbling and ignored the thtreat.... We called the landlord again, and they proceeded to give a last warning to the ex-husband/son - stating that if she is not out by Friday then they woulld change the locks on 12/31 and they would all have to leave. This was Sunday. Tuesday night as I rock my baby to sleep and DH is bathing ODS we get a knock at the door. My DH comes and tells me CPS is at the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A social worker comes in and explains that complaint was made that I lock my son in the closet in a highchair, and he eats dog feces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was horrified/shocked and hysterical. They looked through my house and questioned my son. THey looked all over his body for bruises. The case worker was very nice, and said that my childrena are obviously not mistreated in any way. My house is clean/organized and there is NO DOG FECES anywhwere. He could not confirm who called and made the complaint, but we obviously know it was her. He told us that we will be visited by CPS over the next 60 days to make sure "everything is OK". which is normal procedure when a complaint is made.
I AM HORRIFIED! I have not eaten or slept since Tuesday. I feel so helpless and violated. How can a person who does not even know me, never been in my house or met my children... call and make accusations about me???? I have nothing to hide so I will welcome these people in to "check" on us. But at the same time I have heard with CPS you are guilty until proven innocent. I am so scared that somehow they will try to take my kids away. What rights do we have??? How can someone just accuse you of lies like this? Is this going to be on record forever??? What if they happen to show up when my son happen to have a bruise or something? I do not know what to do. If anyone has any information about CPS or any advice for me on what to do from here.. please share.
We are moving as soon as humanly possible. I am scared for the safetly of my family. But with the recent hurricane on Long Island where people lost their homes, rentals are going up in price sky high, and getting rented immediately as they become available. We may be stuck here for a while longer.
I am so sorry for the novel... please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

About the Book
Psychiatry has ignored the normal. The focus on defining abnormal behavior has obscured what turns out to be a more fundamental question—how does the biology of the brain give rise to the mind, which in turn gives rise to everything we care about: thoughts, feelings, desires, and relationships?
In The Other Side of Normal, Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller shows us that understanding what the mind was designed to do in the first place demystifies mental illness and builds a new foundation for defining psychiatric disorders—from autism to depression. Smoller argues there are no bright lines between normal and abnormal. Psychiatric disorders are variations of the same brain systems that evolved to help us solve the challenges of everyday life. Smoller explains where our personalities come from and how the temperaments we had as infants actually stay with us into adulthood. Why do we choose to date, love, and marry the people we do? Why do some of us form healthy relationships while others form unstable ones?
Based on the author's groundbreaking research and personal experiences treating psychological disorders, The Other Side of Normal changes the way we think about the human condition.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Move over Oliver Sacks - I couldn't put this fascinating book down! Path-breaking and witty, as entertaining as it is informative, The Other Side of Normal is filled with insights into why we behave as we do and how biology determines so much of our emotional makeup. A brilliant mind and dazzling writer, Smoller has written a book that will change the way you look at every day life." — Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor and New York Times bestseller Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
"Exciting... provocative...Clearly and articulately, he ties evolutionary psychology, biological psychiatry, animal behavior, and related fields into a package of rare coherence." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Highly interesting and accessible study of brain science and behavior....This thoroughly documented work provides enough information to satisfy the science-savvy without leaving the rest of us behind....Readers will be fascinated." — Library Journal
"An informative overview of research in neuroscience that provides a scientific foundation for understanding mental disorders." — Kirkus Reviews
"Smoller redefines the biology of normal." — Booklist
"Are we born crazy, or is crazy thrust upon us? Smoller investigates." — Denver Post

Cheat has been developed with the help of few more people, it was a pretty hard task but we managed to finish it relatively fast. This software is very safe but like i said earlier it can be maximum hacked 500$ a day to keep it that way. This service is not known as PayPal but there are still a lot of users who whould like to hack it so we put some effort into doing helping them with our tool. We cannot even compare their sercurity system with PayPal's, the low amount of crypting deloped on Payza made our job much more easier than other hacks. We do not recommend to share it with others because this thing will increase the change they will patch it and this means more work for us.

As has been pointed out, local application of heat produces relaxation of the tissues, particularly of the voluntary and involuntary muscle fibers, spasm of the skeletal muscles is relieved, the walls of the smaller arteries seem to relax, and the vessels dilate. By reason of these conditions a greater amount of arterial blood flows to the part, bringing oxygen and nutriment. Furthermore, the increased blood flow induced on the venous side carries away in larger degree the products of normal or abnormal metabolism, so that they do not remain as local poisons or irritants but are excreted from the body through natural channels. The heat, as applied from the outside and as conveyed internally to the parts by the rapid arterial flow, accelerates the chemical changes that occur in the tissues.
Numerous conditions occur in various parts of the body in which normal physiologic activity or metabolism is interfered with,

Nick Clegg: Gove Is Right On GCSE U-Turn
Thursday 7th February 2013
Nick Clegg insists the Education Secretary is right to change his mind about GCSE reforms.
Michael Gove is scrapping plans to replace the exams with a new English Baccalaureate, supposedly following pressure from the Liberal Democrats.
The EBacc certificates would have foccussed on five core subjects - English, Maths, Science, Languages and Humanities (History or Geography) - with each given to a single examination board.
During his weekly phone in on LBC 97.3 the Deputy Prime Minister said he and Mr Gove are now in agreement.
"I didn't like the original idea. You might remember last summer when it was floated that we move to a kind of two tier system where you tell one set of kids 'you're not bright enough to procceed' and they sort of get sent in one direction and then we only cater through an O-Level system, if you like, to a minority of kids."
Labour says it's a "humiliating climbdown" but Mr Clegg believes itis the right move and paid tribute to his colleague.
"There were serious reservations expressed by the regulator OFQUAL, which oversees the qualificiation system. He's listened and he's reacted. We can't have it both ways - people say politicians never listen and then when a politician like Michael Gove listens people are now saying somehow he shouldn't have done that."
Mr Gove will go before the Commons today to set out alternative proposals to reform GCSEs - reducing the role played by course work.

MIAMI (June 21, 2014) U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, blames the Obama administration for the waves of immigrant children crossing the border illegally.
Cruz told reporters Friday at a Republican fundraiser in Miami that Mr. Obama's decision in 2012 to defer the deportations of some young immigrants who were brought to the country illegally creates a perception of an incentive to cross the border.
Cruz called Mr. Obama's executive order a "lawless act" that grants "amnesty."
More than 47,000 children, primarily from Central America, have been apprehended at the Mexican border since the start of the budget year.
The administration says the influx is being driven mostly by gang-related violence in other countries.
Cruz says Congress should pass legislation that tightens border security and streamlines the immigration system.

I wanted to let everyone know that there is a running life after meniscus surgery.I had surgery on Jan. I did NOT come back as I did after my other surgeries.
It did take a good 3 months to heal (I guess @ 63 thats not too bad) I have run what I call a loop of the lakes(Mystic Lakes) 5 miler. The following day did 3 miles of hills.
Believe me, I thought that i would not run again during my rehab. Jan. Feb. and March were not kind to me. I waited for the 3 months ,to the day, and YES I ran without pain.
so good luck to anyone who has a tear and BELIEVE yoou will run!!!

Color Massing II
November 20, 2014 § 5 Comments
Describing a breakthrough he had while struggling with a landscape painting, 19th century American painter, Albert Pinkham Ryder wrote, "…the old scene presented itself…and before my eyes , framed in an opening between two trees. It stood out like a painted canvas…three solid masses of form and color: sky, foliage, and earth. The whole was bathed in an atmosphere of golden luminosity. I threw my brushes aside; they were too small for the work at hand. I squeezed out big chunks of pure, moist color, and taking my palette knife, I laid on blue, green, white, and brown in great sweeping strokes. As I worked, I saw that it was good and clean and strong. I saw nature springing into life upon my dead canvas! Exultantly I painted until the sun sank below the horizon. Then I raced around the fields like a colt let loose and literally bellowed for joy!" *

Knocking at an Empty House
January 4, 2014 § 2 Comments
From the essay 'The Porcupine and the Car' in Reasons for Knocking at an Empty House: Writings 1973-1994 by Bill Viola (1995) (Thanks to Julie at Unreal Nature.)
…Artists have known for a long time that the most interesting connections in things involve areas of low, or ambiguous, information, so-called "gaps" in recognition. This is the time of involvement, of participation by the viewer, in a work of art. The process of learning itself demands that initially one must be confronted with something one does not understand. René Magritte wrote: "People who look for symbolic meanings fail to grasp the inherent poetry and mystery of the image. No doubt they sense this mystery, but they wish to get rid of it. They are afraid. By asking 'What does this mean?' they express a wish that everything be understandable. But if one does not reject the mystery, one has quite a different response. One asks other things."

A Contrarian Streak
September 15, 2013 § Leave a comment
See It Loud an upcoming show at the National Academy Museum in New York City investigates the work of seven influential painters who were beginning their careers at a time when Abstract Expressionism dominated the art world and the teaching of art. Leland Bell, Paul Georges, Peter Heinemann, Albert Kresch, Stanley Lewis, Paul Resika, and Neil Welliver all followed individual paths through abstraction toward the re-investigation of representation, perception, and narrative in painting.
The show opens September 26 and runs until January 26, 2014. For more information about the show and the individual artists:

Dignity in Work: Cleveland's Matthew Dibble
March 11, 2013 § 1 Comment
A Visual Conversation: The Paintings of Matthew Dibble
By Katherine Aimone www.artswrite.com
"Too much thinking can be an obstacle for me when painting; the 'judge' always seems to get in the way. My connection can only be found in the moment, and I often come back to a sense of my feet on the floor while painting. During these moments some real work is possible…. As artists, we do much better trying to keep things simple. We do better to compare ourselves solely to ourselves. Self-inventory is useful, while self-condemnation is not. Without calling our whole identity into question, there are inquiries that we can fruitfully ask. How am I developing as an artist? Am I doing the work necessary for me to mature? Did I work today? Yes? Well, that's good. Working today is what gives us currency and self-respect. There is dignity in work." —Matthew Dibble

This page describes research related to the Geoscience Concept Inventory and Critical Thinking.
A valid and reliable assessment instrument designed for diagnosis of alternative conceptions and assessment of learning in entry-level earth science courses
The Geoscience Concept Inventory (GCI) is a multiple-choice assessment instrument for use in the Earth sciences classroom. The GCI v.1.0 consisted of 69 validated questions that could be selected by an instructor to create a customized 15-question GCI subtest for use in their course. These test items cover topics related to general physical geology concepts, as well as underlying fundamental ideas in physics and chemistry, such as gravity and radioactivity, that are integral to understanding the conceptual Earth. Each question has gone through rigorous reliability and validation studies. Over TWENTY colleagues have contributed new questions to the item bank, bringing the number of available, high quality questions to almost 200.
We built the the GCI using the most rigorous methodologies available, including scale development theory, grounded theory, and item response theory (IRT). To ensure inventory validity we incorporated a mixed methods approach using advanced psychometric techniques not commonly used in developing content-specific assessment instruments. We conducted ~75 interviews with college students, collected nearly 1000 open-ended questionnaires, grounded test content in these qualitative data, and piloted test items at over 40 institutions nationwide, with ~5000 student participants.
In brief, the development of the GCI involved interviewing students, collecting open-ended questionnaires, generating test items based upon student responses, soliciting external review of items by both scientists and educators, pilot testing of items, analysis of items via standard factor analysis and item response theory, "Think Aloud" interviews with students during test piloting, revision, re-piloting, and re-analysis of items iteratively. Although time consuming, the resulting statistical rigor of the items on an IRT scale suggest that the methods we have used constitute highly valid practice for assessment test development.
A valid and reliable assessment instrument designed to measure critical thinking ability.
The Critical Thinking Survey is a new assessment tool designed to measure how well an individual can engage in critical thinking. Critical thinking relates to the ability to objectively analyze information without judgement. Critical thinking allows people to set aside biases, form rational opinions, make decisions based on evidence, and building explanations for observations. All disciplines, from science to art, require people to engage in critical thinking.
A subset of questions on this survey were piloted with the general public and students enrolled in a non-majors science courses. Expansion of the question set and piloting with incoming college freshmen is occurring in Summer 2014. Validity and reliability analyses thus far indicate that the test is a good measure of critical thinking ability, with increases in scores in response to instruction directly targeting critical thinking.

Specter of The Weak Economy: People to Spend Less on Halloween
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 8:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 8:58 p.m.
Looks like the most frightful ghoul this Halloween season will be the specter of the weak economy, as Americans spend less on this year's holiday than they did in 2012.
Some 158 million people are expected to observe the day, according to a survey released Monday by the National Retail Federation.
But that's down from a record high of 170 million celebrants in 2012. And each of those people will spend $75.03 on costumes, decorations, candy and other merriment, a decline from the $79.82 they shelled out on average last year.
Part of the problem may be the cool weather, which also dampened retail sales in the spring.
But a quarter of the 5,290 consumers polled by the trade association said the uncertain state of the economy will affect their spending plans, with 86.1 percent saying they'll spend less overall.
Last year, 83.5 percent of respondents said the same.
Still, total spending for Oct. 31 will settle about $6.9 billion — a nearly 55 percent boost since 2005, according to the retail group.
And shoppers are starting early, with nearly a third launching their Halloween product hunt before October.
Roughly 44 percent of American plan to play dress-up, handing over $2.6 billion for costumes — or $27.85 each. Last year, the average outlay was $28.65.
Sales of pet costumes will run to $330 million.
More than 7 in 10 Halloween participants will hand out candy, which will get nearly $2.1 billion in sales.

Promoting Foreign Investment in Nepal: Prospects and Challenges
Basu Sharma Poudel Sr.
Ministry of Finance
August 13, 2012
FDI is an important source of capital for economic growth in developing countries. It provides a package which constitutes new technologies, management techniques, finance and market access for the production and movement of goods and services. However, attracting FDI is a major challenge for host countries as it faces the challenge of identifying the major factors that motivate and affect the FDI location decision. The main FDI location factors are cost factors, market factors, infrastructure, technological factors, political and legal factors and social and cultural factor. Despite several conflicting circumstances, Nepal is attempting to sort out overarching issues of FDI concerning with economic development. That's why Nepal is at a point wherefrom it can excel for economic goals via FDI. The set trends illustrate that various indicators pertaining to FDI in the country has been improving since peace process was begun in 2006. This analysis comes to conclusions that the country owns unique advantages and, thereby, opportunities of FDI useful for the country's prosperity. Yet FDI in the country is not free of challenges, thus, that need to be timely addressed with prudent measures.

Asiasoft Online Celebrates MapleSEA's Third Year Anniversary with "Triple Treats" Outdoor Event
29 June 2008, Singapore – AsiaSoft Online Pte Ltd ("AsiaSoft"), the leading publisher of Massively-Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in Southeast Asia, rejoiced and celebrated as its most successful casual gaming title, MapleSEA (http://www.MapleSEA.com), turned three on 29th June, 2008! To commemorate the third year anniversary of the beloved free-to-play 2D MMO, AsiaSoft lavished all Maplers with a triple load of goodies at the "Triple Treats" outdoor birthday bash.
Held at the bustling Suntec City Tropics Atrium, the event grounds were transformed into a magical MapleSEA world where fantasy heroes and characters were brought to life with a carnival of games and endless activities. Symbolic and larger-than-life birthday candles were the centre of attention, marketing the special occasion of MapleSEA's third year anniversary. And as with any birthday celebration, there were gifts galore, as players exchanged their used A-Cash Prepaid Cards for several exclusive MapleSEA premiums such as plush toys and stationery.
One of the unforgettable highlights of "Triple Treats" bash was the "Maple 3 Race", held in conjunction with AsiaSoft's "Gamers Love Sports" initiative to support cyber-wellness and healthy lifestyle habits. Teams of Maplers were invited to participate in this physically demanding challenge, which saw them racing across Suntec City to perform special tasks and to collect MapleSEA items to ace the race. The lucky winners walked away with exclusive birthday premiums and were invited to grace the birthday cake cutting ceremony alongside top executives from AsiaSoft and NEXON Corporation, the Korean game developers behind MapleSEA.
"With the widespread popularity of MapleSEA throughout the years, it has become a great part of our gamers' lives.

Other features of the "Triple Treats" event included the "Maple Turns 3" stage memory games, the "Fr33 Market", a "Special 3treat Auction" and the final "Lucky 3 Draw". Lucky Maplers who scored a rare Golden Ticket with their purchase of MapleSEA A-Cash Prepaid Cards, enjoyed luxurious VIP access to the "Fr33 Market", where they got to pick and choose the MapleSEA premiums they wished to redeem. Winners of the grand "Lucky 3 Draw" walked away with a slew of attractive prizes including Casio digital cameras, Razer computer peripherals and Dell laptops!
"We are very excited to mark this special celebration with our beloved Maplers, with whom we are now celebrating MapleSEA's third anniversary," said Shin Chul Kang, Joint Chief Executive Officer of NEXON Corporation. "It's so delightful to witness so many Maplers enjoying this special event with their friends and families, and this was certainly a lovely experience that we can all share for many years to come."
Maplers who participated in the birthday festivities also got their hands on limited edition in-game weapons and accessories, specially developed to usher in MapleSEA's third year anniversary. These in-game items dress up player avatars, adding vibrant animated when the avatars attack in-game monsters and are highly coveted as time-limited collectibles for this year only!

When it comes to discussion of climate change, there are too many prepared to come to the table intent on deceiving and confusing rather than engaging honestly. There are those who never tire of returning to the same old, disproved, shallow story lines time after time. They are ready to shift from lunacy to lunacy, hoping to wear down reality-based thinkers and confuse those who don't have the time or energy to really question the sound-bites they keep hearing.
The latest fad, it seems, amid the denier/skeptic/delayer community is to resurrect the old "Co2=Life" with emphasizing that Co2 is plant life. This has been seen in the past weeks from witnesses in Senate testimony, from Republican Congressmen in hearings, in blog posts galore, and in conservative columns and editorial pages.
For example, this was core to The Washington Times reality-denying editorial a week ago.
But if there wasn't carbon dioxide around, there would be no plants.
Ever so true of the deniers / skeptics / delayers: state things that are true but which are absolutely not truthful in the context of the discussion of climate change and what humanity should do to shift its reckless course toward catastrophic climate change.
Here is an appropriate analogy for consideration: You will die if you don't have liquid (water). (Get your eight glasses yesterday?) If a half-gallon/day is good for you, then a gallon must be better. And, well, of course, why not try drinking 50 gallons per day.
But if there wasn't carbon dioxide around, there would be no plants.
What do they take us (the US) for: idiots?
The sad thing is that, for at least a few people, they might be right.
Last week, I was in an elevator with three people who were commenting about this very issue. And, the joke from one of them: "Well, Joe, guess you're contributing to Global Warming by exhaling right now." [Note: Cultural norms are difficult to deal with but they weren't happily surprised when facts and real information disrupted their gleefully ignorant elevator shenanigans.] Yes, while they are taking Americans for idiots with this line of debate, there are sadly at least some percentage who are ready to fall for it.
Co2 is necessarily for plant life.
And, yes, there are actually greenhouses where CO2 is pumped in to produced bigger flowers, faster.
So, in some circumstances Co2 leads to higher agricultural productivity. There are, however, also ways in which increased CO2 reduces the quality of agricultural productivity (perhaps severely): before we are talking about agricultural disruption due to changed weather patterns, increasingly severe weather, droughts/flooding, etc ....
The Washington Times editorial was a full-throated, embarrassment-free diatribe against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) making decisions based on the requirements of the law actually informed by science.
One man's meat may be another man's poison, but the Environmental Protection Agency has taken the idea to an absurdity. EPA has just sent a proposal to the White House that would classify carbon dioxide as a health hazard.
But if there wasn't carbon dioxide around, there would be no plants. And, for that matter, neither would there be any people or pets if we weren't allowed to exhale.
Well, a different analogy for everything in moderation. Eat some red meat might be contributing to cancer and not the healthiest choice (truth in advertising: author is omnivore and appreciates a good cut of beef), but how about trying to eat 20 lbs of grilled meat per day.
And, have to think those people in the elevator had read the Washington Times since they seemed fearful that EPA will regulate their breathing patterns.
The claimed "health hazard" from carbon dioxide is, of course, global warming, yet the data we have seen, such as Stanford economist Thomas Gale Moore's work, show that warmer temperatures and higher incomes are associated with healthier, longer-living people. In case environmentalists haven't noticed, bio-diversity is also much greater when temperatures are higher.
Again, lets throw in lots of facts, items that might (MIGHT) be true, and use them in support of an absolutely truth-free argument.
And, well, lets suggest a different way of looking at this: if "warmer temperatures" are so great, how come the richest countries (with rare exceptions, like Singapore, Israel and, principally, resource extraction countries (oil producers)) are in temperate zones and not the tropics?
Over history, human civilizations have expanded during warmer periods but declined when it got cold. For a history lesson, we recommend University of California Professor Brian Fagan's excellent book, "The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History."
So, guess we should be cheering as we will be able to (or will have not choice but to) expand (what remains of human civilization) into the wonderful wine-growing regions of Antartica. (Note, however, that temperatures might increased but it will still leave months of darkness / minimal (and weak) daylight.)
Obviously, higher temperatures support more plant life, and that in turn supplies the food for more animals. If you want more plants, animals, and healthier people, more carbon dioxide and higher temperatures are beneficial and certainly not "hazardous to health."
This truly is a blunt statement of truthiness.
Why are we questioning something so self-evident? How dare we?
Perhaps, because this superficial truthiness, gut-based assessment is distorting.
As for higher temperatures, as one of those examples, want to talk about how over 110 degree temperatures in Australia seems more supportive of wild-fires than food production?
All sorts of bizarre regulations already are devoted to "protecting" us from warmer temperatures - regulations that do endanger health and safety. Take mile per gallon regulation rules for cars. These rules directly endanger health and life because smaller cars are simply inherently less able to protect their passengers.
So, evidently MPG is solely for global warming reasons. That would be news for those who first introduced these decades ago. The principle driver: reducing US dependency on foreign sources of oil and reducing vulnerability to disrupted supplies.
The safety issue is pure truthiness raising the basic question: why isn't every American driving a tank on the road? The threat to small cars comes, very significantly, from poorly driven big ones.
Then there are mandates for compact fluorescent light bulbs that contain mercury. The EPA itself has extremely detailed and scary instructions about requiring people to leave the area once a bulb is broken. You can't vacuum the spot, and if the spill occurs on a carpet the EPA claims that you should cut out that portion of the carpet and dispose of it properly.
Attacking CFLs has become another one of those right-wing talking points. Let's talk about that mercury in the bulb rather than discussing the much larger amounts of mercury dispersed into the atmosphere by coal-fired plants supporting inefficient incandescent lighting.
Of course, by the way, wouldn't want to mention the significant fiscal savings associated with using CFLs. Would we?
There is little rational discussion on global warming these days. Consider the following questions. A "no" to any of them should logically imply that we should not restrict carbon dioxide.
(1) Are global temperatures rising? They were clearly rising from the late 1970s to 1998, but temperatures just as clearly have not gone up in the last 11 years. Indeed, the more recent numbers show evidence of cooling.
Love the distortion. In 1998, there was a major El Nino event. A natural (though, perhaps human-driven global warming is affecting this pattern -- an issue of scientific discussion/investigation) event that heats the globe for a period of time piled on top of human-driven global warming. Thus, 1998 was an extremely hot year. If that first sentence said 12 years or 10 years, it would simply not have any basis in facts.
And, true facts vs truth. Even with 1998 natural/human-driven warming combo, the pattern over time, temperatures are rising. While perhaps cooler than 1998, every year in the 2000s is in the top 10 warmest years on record. Thus, that "evidence of cooling" is sort of like say Monday through Friday were 110 degree days, the weekend is going to cool to 109.
Answer to question: yes.
(2) Is mankind responsible for a significant and noticeable portion of an increase in temperatures? Mankind is responsible for just a few percent of greenhouse gases, and changes in greenhouse gases are responsible for just a tiny fraction of changes in global temperatures. The big factor is variations in the sun's energy output. Last December, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works released a list of 400 prominent scientists who questioned the general notion of significant manmade global warming.
Well, that "few percent" line is a nice distortion. While, this is true in terms of the actual cycle of Co2, Co2 concentrations have risen from about 285 ppm to 380 ppm in the past hundred years or so. Those increased emissions derive from human activity and, in fact, can be traced by scientists back to humans. Thus, that 'few percent' translates to roughly one-third of the CO2 in the atmosphere come from humanity.
And, stated as fact are many false things -- directly false. If solar activity were the principally driving factor of near-term climate change, we would have cooling in the past 30 years or so -- not a significant warming trend. Solar radiation is a portion of the warming over the past century. The science places this roughly in the range of 5-10% of the total warming.
And, of course, want to mention that that list came not "from the committee" but from the Minority (read: Senator Jim Inhofe, R-Exxon, and his former side-kick, Marc Morano)? (By the way, amusing, December 2008's "list" was of 650, not 400 -- and what a list it was.)
Answer to question, by the way: Yes.
(3) Are increased temperatures "bad"? That answer is hardly obvious. Higher temperatures could increase ocean levels by between 7 inches and 2 feet over the next 100 years. On the other hand, massive areas from Canada to Europe to Russia would be much more habitable than now. We have already noted the other benefits to life.
Again, a studied demonstration in argument by truthiness. "Hardly obvious" for those who wish to studiously ignore science. While there will be specific benefits from increased CO2 (bigger roses) and increased temperatures, on balance, the risks from acidification of oceans, increasingly violent storms, disrupted weather patterns, rising seas threatening natural and man-made shoreline areas, etc are so far worse than limited "benefits to life".
Answer to question: yes.
(4) Finally, let's assume that the answer to all three previous questions is "yes." Does that mean we need more regulations and taxes? No, that is still not clear.
Actually, while the answer is almost certainly yes here, this is an arena where one can actually have serious discussion, can have debate, can figure out best policy paths to tackle the problem and find real solutions.
Now, as to "taxes", what The Washington Times (and the ilk) want is to have the freedom to pollute, without limit, without concern to the implications to the health, safety, and prosperity of one's neighbors today and tomorrow.
Answer to question, again: almost certainly yes.
If we believe that man-made global warming is "bad," we still don't want to eliminate all carbon emissions. Having no cars, no air conditioning, or no electricity would presumably be much worse than anything people claim results from global warming. We would want to balance the benefits with any costs of additional carbon dioxide emissions.
This strawman is so wonderful. Who, as part of the serious discussion about US policy, is speaking about "no cars, no air conditioning, or no electricity"? (We could spend books writing on the absurdity of this comment. Let's just point to one example: wind power's potential, without considering other options, to deliver multiples of today's electricity supply.) What distorting absurdity.
One can see government do stupid things daily; the staggeringly harmful course it is already on is breathtaking. But hold on to the gunwales, for the ship of state in President Obama's new environmental era will leave the United States pitching and yawing, with the world much poorer and less healthy because of it.
The audacity of the arrogant ignorance is breathtaking ... and terrifying.
We call it life ...
This OPED and the discussion is so reminiscent of this ad.
About this, for example,Scientist to CEI: You Used My Research To "Confuse and Mislead"
CEI ad notes that carbon dioxide (CO2) is "essential to life," and says, "they call it pollution. We call it life." That ad fails to mention that too much CO2 can cause global temperatures to rise or that there is more of it in the atmosphere than any time during the last 420,000 years.
CEI, which gets just over 9 percent of its budget from Exxon Mobil Corporation, said it was only trying to make sure the public hears "both sides of the story."
Or Our Friend: CO2 "One of the stupider arguments making the rounds in the media is that "carbon-dioxide-is-not-pollution- it's life"." Or Deltoid
The CEI warns people that using Linux is legally risky, attacked the FDA when it proposed regulating tobacco, and relentlessly attacks Kyoto. It is no doubt just a coincidence that the CEI receives extensive funding from Microsoft, Philip Morris and Exxon.
The slogan: "Carbon dioxide: They call it pollution. We call it life." The gist: Carbon dioxide: You can't see it. We exhale it. We need it to live. "It comes from animal life, the oceans, the Earth, and the fuels we find in it." Therefore, it's not a greenhouse gas -- it's part of life! Now, get over it!
Wow. That's so good I can't even think about it without breaking into a huge smile. In that sense, I guess it's more like nitrous oxide than carbon dioxide. Every line, every image, is perfect, and perfectly vacuous. Indeed, this may be the funniest one minute I've ever seen -- up there with the best ad parodies on "Mr. Show" and "SNL." Only it's not a parody. Or it doesn't know it's a parody.
Truly, should we laugh or cry? Considering the stakes for all of us, laughing is probably not were I go with this.
Intellectually starved Member of Congress ...
Sigh, bring in a denier to testify and build on it. Rep Shimkus on "taking away plant food" by cutting CO2.
Some things you can't make up ...

It was an head shot.BANG!:killyou: and he was dead! My friend Called me straight away screaming and shouting saying "That's not fair, your cheating! I didn't know where you were! If you do that again I'm quitting!" and he hung up. I thought to myself "I guess it's like cheating." I thought about the topic for a while and have come up with three things that should make sniping fair. Firstly, reduce the number of bullets that the gun can hold. Because if you miss you can always shoot again while your opponent is quickly looking around. Secondly, make it harder to aim. it's so easy to to aim at your opponents head in many shooting games. they should amke it harder to aim. Only the people with a steady hand can get a head shot. Finally, make the zooming capabilities lower. I mean it's so easy to zoom in from a far distance. They should make a lot less because I hate all those people who just hide and snipe at you. It's so easy to snipe. So sniping, is it fair? I think not.

N40L awesome deal, my new toy
its quiet enough to live in my living room, but it is currently in my basement, when I installed Nexenta it was sitting on my dining room table about 2 ft from my ears, and it was barely noticeable. It has a single low rpm 120mm fan,unless you somehow get a bad fan in yours, it should be fine.

Each method (wired vs. wireless) has got its own
advantages/disadvantages so it's not possible to say which is better
than the other - they serve quite different purposes.
Generally speaking, wired networks are more reliable, and they certainly
operate faster. Using standard CAT-5 cabling you could get up to 1000
bits per second providing you have gigabit ethernet equipment to hand -
but more commonly you would be using 100 base. Still, that comes to
approximately 10mb per second (12mb?) as a theoretical maximum - and
that's much quicker than you would get out of any wireless network...
most don't do much better than 3Mbps despite claims of 54Mbps wireless
LAN's. As far as reliability is concerned - providing you don't snap or
damage a cable (unlikely if you don't touch it), they are very reliable,
and secure. Assuming that the network is wired properly, it should also
not suffer from interference (though don't lay your cables near
powerlines!). In terms of cost, wired equipment is much cheaper than
wireless. The only potentially expensive thing is the wiring cost
(labour, not the wires) - but if you've got a simple network topology
then this should not be a problem.
Wireless networks have all the comparative disadvantages inferred from
the wired advantages mentioned above. It goes without saying though that
wireless networks make for extremely flexible networking as far as
clients are concerned, and can also be more aesthetically pleasing. If
you're not bothered about either of these points... personally i'll
stick to a wired network.
Or you can consider sneakernet :-)

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association: Vol. 23, No. 2 pp. 177–181. Interpretive Summary: Naturally occurring parasites of mosquitoes are under study to evaluate and develop these disease causing organisms as biological control agents. In this collaborative study with researchers from Argentina, a new isolate of a fungal pathogen of mosquitoes has been isolated. This investigation has been conducted to define key biological characteristics of this pathogen to enhance evaluation as a biological control agent of mosquitoes.
Technical Abstract: The effects of water volume, container surface area and the density of hosts and fungal zoospores on the infectivity of the oomycete fungus, Leptolegnia chapmanii Seymour to Aedes aegypti (L.) were investigated in the laboratory. Late third or early fourth instar larvae from a laboratory colony of Ae. aegypti were used as hosts in all assays. Fourth instar larvae of Ae. aegypti infected with L. chapmanii 48 h post-exposure (6,1 ± 0,2 x 104 zoospores per larva) were used as inoculum. Mortality rates were greater than 90% in containers with 20 or less larvae when exposed to one L. chapmanii infected Ae. aegypti larva and decreased to 37% in containers with a density of 60 larvae at 48 h. Mortality rates varied from 82% to 92% when healthy fourth instar larvae were exposed to 1 and 2 infected larvae after 48 h, respectively, while mortality of 100% was obtained with 3 and more infected larvae in the same time period. Infection rates and larval mortality in containers with variable volume from 300 to 5000 ml and similar water surface area (397 cm2) varied from 89% to 92% at 48 h post treatment, respectively. When water volume was constant (250 ml) in containers with variable surface areas (14.5 cm2 to 875 cm2) larval mortality varied from 96% to 25% after 48 h, respectively. This study has determined that the ability of L. chapmanii to infect mosquito larvae is not only dose dependent but also influenced by larval density and surface area.

Skill Level Beginner
There are two more areas that I want to cover. One is collaboration, so if you're working with another editor, how you can move project files back and forth between each other and then when you're done editing, how can you best archive and clean house. Now you can get to some of these choices by simply right-clicking on the specific project file that you're working on and as you can see you can duplicate the project, consolidate the project, and move to the trash. We're going to go to the File menu and explore it in a little more detail. Now the selection you probably choose the most is Duplicate Project.
When you click on Duplicate Project or hit Command+D, you'll get the following dialog box. What this does when you click on Duplicate Project only, it makes the copy of your project without duplicating any of the media. This is really useful if you've cut a version of your show and you want to cut an alternate version without changing the original. Often what I like to do at the end of each day is always make a duplicate so the next day I'm working on a fresh version of the show and if the producer comes back and asks me about yesterday's version, I have it right there.
Let's look at some of the other options. First of all going to the top of the dialog box. When you hit the Duplicate command, it gives you the option of duplicating your project on the same hard drive or duplicating it onto any hard drive that's attached to your computer. This is a great way of moving a project from one location to the next. If I click on Duplicate Project and Referenced Events, what this will do is not only duplicate the project, it will also duplicate all the referenced events and make a perfect copy.
I use this if I want to make a backup of my program and all my events onto an external hard drive used for archiving or handing off to another editor. If you choose the third selection, which is Duplicate Project and Used Clips Only, this will only make a copy of the media that you've used in your timeline. You also have the option to change the name of the event. Usually when I make a copy, I uncheck Include Render Files because render files take up a lot of space and if you need to you can just simply re-render your timeline.
Let's press Cancel and move on to the next item. If you select Move Project, you get a similar dialog box. In this case you are physically moving the project from one location to another. In this situation I may be moving it off my main drive onto my scratch disk. I also have the choice to move both the project and any referenced events that the project uses. Consolidate Project Media, in this case, all my media is located on the same drive in the same events folder.
If I had media on a variety of drives, I could consolidate everything into a single location, which makes it easier to archive or backup. Delete Project Render Files does exactly what you would expect it to do. There are a couple of caveats. You can choose whether you're going to use Unused Render Files, and this is great, because in Final Cut Pro 7 it was an all or nothing situation. In Final Cut Pro X, you have the option of deleting Unused Render Files, or as you would think of them, obsolete render files, because they're no longer applied to anything in your timeline.
You also can clear out all render files to save space. One thing to keep in mind is that Delete Project Render Files are project specific, so you have to go through each project and select this option. Organizing project files actually will move any media that you may have been pointing to into the Final Cut Pro project file. This could be a little dangerous because if you have multiple programs using those files or multiple editors sharing that media, their media could go offline.
Finally, the best way to do some housecleaning is if you're working on a project file or a duplicate of a project file and you want to delete it, the best place to do it is from within Final Cut Pro. This will not only move the project file, it'll move any render files that you might have, as well as all the other elements associated with that project. Now in reference to collaboration, if I go ahead and duplicate a project and I choose to use all the referenced events, I can duplicate that to an external hard drive, which I could then hand off to another editor.
At this stage, all I need to do is move the project file back and forth and I don't need to move any of the media. Much like you would expect it to work in previous versions of Final Cut Pro. I want to show you one more item in the Inspector in case your media goes offline during this process. With the project file selected go ahead and launch your Inspector. Once again, the keyboard shortcut for that is Command+4. Now in the Inspector there is a Project Properties area and we saw this in an earlier movie, but if you scroll down, you'll see there is an option called Modify Event References.
If your media is offline because you relocated it into a new event folder or into an event folder on another hard drive, you can use Modify Event References to point to the location where those media files reside. Simply select and press OK and they'll all come back online. Just as a point of note, whereas Final Cut Pro 7 used a lot of criteria to determine if that was the appropriate QuickTime movie to point to, such as name and size, in Final Cut X it uses only two elements.
It uses the exact creation date and the duration down to the millisecond. As you can see, collaborating and archiving Final Cut Pro X is a little different, but it's still possible and quite elegant.

I fully realize that this post will elicit very polarized reactions. We
find that, just like cilantro and Will Ferrell movies, most people feel
very strongly about sardines. All I ask is that you keep an open mind
about this tiny fish -- its meal uses stretch far beyond the "sardines
and Saltines" that so many of us grew up watching our grandparents eat!
Personally, I love and use sardines because they taste great, are a super accessible source of protein, and are really easy and affordable. Since we work really long hours, an elaborate lunch isn't usually in the cards. So, for the most part, I depend on packing lunches that I put together the night before.
My dinners help a lot with creating delicious, creative lunches that I look forward to, since I usually incorporate dinner leftovers into my next day's lunch. On this particular day I'd used leftover quinoa and veggies from dinner. I tossed half a can of drained, chopped sardines with leftover roasted butternut squash and broccoli and ate it over quinoa.
I love using the boneless, skinless sardines packed in olive oil for meals like this because the oil adds flavor to the veggies and grain. You can also buy sardines packed in water or tomato sauce, as well as sardines with the bones and skin still in tact. If you're still on the fence about these teeny fish, we always recommend starting off with the boneless, skinless variety!
Aside from using sardines as a main component of a meal, you can also blend them into marinara sauce to deepen the flavor of the sauce and add protein and omega 3s. If you're on the fence about trying out sardines, this is also a great way to start out using them, since the marinara sauce helps dilute the flavor a bit. Sardines also taste delicious sauteed and added to whole wheat pasta with white beans and parmesan cheese. And, I know I mentioned grandparents snacking on them with Saltines before — but sardines with avocado and tomato on whole grain crispbread crackers can be a great lunch or snack.
I know I'm not alone on my attitude towards sardines, since stores still carry 'em!

Clumsy Media Bias Dwindling, But U.S. Still Behind the U.K.
Richard Littlemore | November 9, 2007
By Richard Littlemore • Friday, November 9, 2007 - 13:36
A new paper (attached) by Oxford Research Fellow Max Boykoff shows that phony media balance has almost disappeared in U.S. climate change coverage.
But Boykoff's paper also shows an embarrassing difference in the extent and quality of climate change coverage in the United States, compared to coverage in the United Kingdom. For example, he found that between 2003 and 2006, UK papers covered the story three times as often as U.S. papers and were significantly more likely to present it accurately.
