Post subject: setting a good example...
I'm getting really fed up of my oh. I try so hard to set a good example to the kids ie eating all my tea/veg using manners and apologizing when I do something wrong.. And my oh seems set to destroy all my hard wwork.. He point blank refuses to eat most healthy foods.. And very rarely finishes his plate but is very quick to go in yhe sweetie cupboard.. Yet s houts at the boys for the same thing and refuses them any pudding.. Hes setting bad examples in other things as well and the icing on the cake was when he swore in front of Charlie then blamed me because Charlie copied him!! I've tried explaining to him the they learn by copying.. He wont listen to me.. Does anyone else have the same problem? Or similar at least?? Feel like I'm teaching 3 children... X

My OH does everything like a 1 year old - sneezing, yawning, coughing with his mouth WIDE open.
Honestly amount of times I've told him to go and wipe his snot off the toilet door, because I REFUSE to do it....
Very rarely says please or thank you and I've tried to tell him kids copy, they love to copy. Nothing better than doing the same as Papa....
Oh well... I'm just hoping that my good manners etc... will rub off on the kids. DS already tells DD to put her hand in front of her mouth if she coughs. And he started saying "please" and "thank you" last week instead of "ask nicely Mommy" (copying me when I tell him to ask me nicely for something...
He also says Bless You after his sneezes. I didn't teach him that, but he must have picked it up from me. (Shows you how quickly they just pick up things).
I would say just keep doing your best with your kids and I'm sure they will know "the right way" if you know what I mean. Might not do it in their teens, but if its their basic childhood upbringing I'm sure they will be doing it as adults.

yep! not so much on the food front because OH will eat whatever I put in front of him but he's SO lazy! won't even take his plate in to the kitchen (a few feet away), won't get up to grab something from the other side of the room, instead makes me get it, he NEVER covers his mouth when he coughs/sneezes, doesn't use ANY manners and swears like a trooper.
and no matter how many times I tell him that even though LO is only 7 months, he WILL pick up on all this, he never listens....

Oh yes! Ive the same thing.
Hubby is always swearing, if i tell him off he does it all the more! I even have belle saying "naughty word daddy!" Lucky she has only repeated him once and told her off.
Hes ok with the food though, but does annoy me that he sits and eats something for pudding at the table in front of Belle when im struggling to get her to eat all of her dinner.

CALABASAS, Calif. - Shoei charges into 2013 with two new helmets, one a three-quarter open-face touring helmet and the other a light-weight, full-face lid: Both feature Shoei's built-in retractable sun visors.
First up is the J-Cruise, Shoei's new open-face helmet that features adjustable top adn rear exhaust vents, a multi-piece EPS liner that reportedly allows for smooth air flow, a washable liner, and a removable shield that's secured by a shield stopper meant to prevent unexpected opening at speed.
The company reports that the J-Cruise's built-in sun shield visor blocks 99 percent of harmful UV rays and can be activated by a large-and-easy-to-reach switch. The face shield is built to be removable without tools, has a scratch-resistant coating and is Pinlock ready.
The J-Cruise is available in two solid colors — black and white, and five metallic/matte finishes — wine red, anthracite, brilliant yellow, matte black, and matte deep grey. Sizes run from XS to 2XL.
Shoei also introduces the GT-Air, a helmet the company calls a lightweight lid with improved ventilation, a removable noise-reducing interior and a built-in sun visor that tucks into a shell inside the helmet's liner. The visor pocket also contributes to the exterior look of the helmet, giving it an aggressive sporty look, Shoei says.
The GT-Air's interior features a top center pad that is removable, which aids in the removal of all the other interior parts. Shoei designed it for a firm, even fit by using foam layers of varying hardness. Fitment can be further refined through the choice of three different shell sizes.
The interior also features a chin curtain to reduce noise and prevent wind from getting into the helmet. An emergency quick-release system is designed to help emergency medical personnel in removing the cheek pads to make the helmet easier to remove.
The CNS-1 shield is reportedly wider and taller than the CX-1V it replaces and includes a new Pinlock anti-fog lens. It's also made to reduce wind noise. The GT-Air is available in the same solids as the J-Cruise as well as six mettalics/mattes — black, white, anthracite, brilliant yellow, shine red, and matte black.
Shoei's GT-Air is also available in a black or white Wanderer design, and in three different Journey designs.

When people think of military operations and mission readiness, physical and weapons training are the first things that pop into their heads. Although vital to mission success, these types of training are not the only ones service members go through to be mission ready. Suicide prevention training is another important aspect when it comes to building a strong, productive force.
Suicide prevention classes help with mission readiness by letting service members know that it is ok to have a bad day and encouraging them to have open communications with their chains of command and trusted friends.
"It's about teaching the service members to build resiliency, so that they understand that tomorrow is a new day," said Lt. Col. Rhonda Deen, Dragon Aid Station, Battalion Surgeon, United States Forces-Iraq. "No matter what is going on in their lives, they can make it one more day."
The training emphasizes that service members should reach out for help and talk to friends, leaders, chaplains or behavioral health professionals, if contemplating suicide. It also encourages asking, caring and escorting someone who may be at risk.
"Command involvement is key," said Deen. A lot of people think that it is a chaplain or medical program, but it is a command-emphasized program, she said. The command has the most visibility on their Soldiers and can get an idea on how to read them.
"If leaders know their troops, know what their issues are, what their family problems are and what their personal problems are, then they can intervene sooner," said Col. Chester C. Egert, USF-I command chaplain.
"We have to stress it at every level," said Egert. "It's got to start at headquarters; it's got to be down in the motor pool. No matter where we are, people have to know the guy on their right and their left. We have to take care of each other."
There are a variety of options available to service members and their families when seeking help.
Some service members are not comfortable with going to their local chaplains or talking to their local behavioral health professionals, said Sgt Maj. Keith Davis, senior enlisted advisor to the USF-I chaplain. Soldiers may be scared of being flagged, sent to mental health or having their weapons taken away.
Another source of help is the veterans' crisis line, available 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week, that connects veterans and family members to trained professionals, some of whom are veterans themselves, for guidance and someone with which to talk.
"Sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger then it is to talk to a buddy about the fact that you're thinking about killing yourself," said Deen.
"The big thing with the [veterans' crisis line] that's really helped is it has identified Soldiers who have reached out to the hotline," said Deen. If the counselors from the VA hotline are concerned about the Soldier they actually reach back to us and we reach out to the Soldier. We have had cases here in the [Iraq joint operations area] where someone called the hotline and we have gone out to get that Soldier. A life was potentially saved because of the hotline."
This is not just an issue for doctors, psychiatrists, mental health, behavioral health and chaplains, said Egert. "We have to do our part. Everybody has a responsibility to take of his buddy."
The availability of different options and having leadership who are committed to emphasizing the importance of suicide awareness is significant in fighting this battle with suicide.
"Take the time to get to know people," said Deen. "The best resiliency we have is the people around us."

Honestly, some of the more interesting things to review in the world of dog grooming aren't actually shampoos or conditioners. Everyone has shampoos and conditioners these days, so it's tough to really stand out from the crowd with those items. But with other grooming products, that's where you can get things really shaking up.
Take eye goop. No, I don't mean the gooby things that show up in their eyes day after day after... wait, not everyone else has a pug. But if you have a flat nosed, bug eyed breed, then you know what I mean when I say they seem to expectorate goop constantly.
And what that means is that their fur starts getting stained, after several years, with brownish not so fun stuff. (Those of you with white dogs, bug-eyes or not, also know what I'm talking about.) It's kind of gross, really, and changes the look of your dog from gorgeous just-left-the-groomer to looking like you never bathe the poor thing, no matter how great you are at keeping them clean.
This is where True Blue Pets' Eye Wipes come in, just one of two wipe products we're reviewing from them this month.
The dog eye wipes are essentially a presoaked pad that you rub gently under the dog's eye, especially in any areas where there is wetness and/or staining. They're actually very easy to use; they smell slightly astringent, but do pull up a lot of dirt (see the brown stains on the pad in the second photo). After a couple of weeks of regular cleaning, we were able to notice a difference; it wasn't completely removing the tear stains but it was making them lighter and the skin under Merry's eyes softer.
These eye wipes contain an all-natral botanical blend for your dog. The ingredients list includes organic aloe vera, witch hazel, vitamin E, various food extracts, and other astringents (that's why it smelled that way): citric acid, and oat amino acids.
If I had one thing to change about this product, it would be the name. It's called "Safe and Sure Eye Wipes", but the back contains a caution notice to avoid eye contact (with eye wipes!) and if direct eye contact occurs, flush immediately. Now, I realize why this is. You need strong cleaners - even natural ones - to get rid of tear stains, and it stands to reason that those strong cleaners wouldn't be so good for the eye. I get that, and I get that you need to be careful. But naming a product Safe when you have to be careful and be ready to flush your pet's eyes if contact occurs, seems like a misnomer to me.
Still, it's just a name. I want to be clear: I loved the product itself (probably one of my favorite grooming review items of all time). It was just jarring to see the name and the caution on the same package!
Second, we reviewed True Blue Pets' Fast and Fresh Dental Dog Swipes. As a pug owner, this, too, is high on my list of frustrations. Pugs are notorious for not enjoying being groomed, and Merry's no different. She hatest getting her teeth brushed and while after years she is resigned to it, she still ducks her head around and generally tries to avoid the toothbrush as much as possible.
You had to know she'd be a princess, didn't you?
So, I was all for the dental swipes: again, these were premoistened pads that you wrap around your finger and rub up against your dog's teeth. The wipes smell great - a mix of parsley and peppermint are in the ingredients list, so your dog may end up with distinctly more pleasant breath after using.
They weren't nearly as hard to use as I'd imagined. Merry actually sat quite still, enjoying the process for the most part and allowing me access to teeth (particularly on the inside of her mouth) that she rarely allows me access to. I have no idea if the wipes are good long-term (the box only contains 50 wipes, and it's suggested to do this once a day) versus brushing, but particularly if your dog won't let you brush their teeth, this is a great alternative solution and a fabulous quickie (no toothpaste! no washing out a brush!) for travel, busy weekday mornings, etc.
Both products were developed by True Blue Pets with the help of veterinarians to ensure your pet's safety. They're hypo-alelrgenic, pet pH balanced and made in the USA.
I'm loving both of these products - they're smart, useful and encourage less-fussy good grooming habits. I have a feeling both sets of wipes will become permanent fixtures in my bathroom cabinet. Four paws up!
You can find out more about True Blue Pets from their web site at www.truebluepets.com. Tell them Merry sent you!

Rookie safety Rahim Moore has always admired Brian Dawkins' hard-hitting game from afar, even carrying a picture of the Pro Bowler in his wallet for inspiration while he was at UCLA.
Now, Moore carries Dawkins' shoulder pads after the Denver Broncos' practices as he studies the venerable veteran from a much closer vantage point.
Moore tries to mimic every move the player he calls "Pops" makes on the field: How Dawkins reads a play, when he creeps closer to the line of scrimmage, how he attacks the ball.
Only, Moore can't constantly keep his eyes on him. He is, after all, starting alongside Dawkins already.

MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. - A 13-4 rally to close the game sent host Milligan (Tenn.) past No. 19 Union in Appalachian Athletic Conference action on Wednesday.
The loss is the Lady Bulldogs' third in their last four games, dropping them to 12-5 overall and 3-3 in conference play. The Buffaloes improve to 11-7 overall and 3-3 in the AAC.
With 3:38 left, Lindsey Waters (Stearns, Ky.) hit 1-of-2 free throws to put Union up 45-40. Milligan responded by scoring seven of the next nine points, tying the game at 47-47 at the 1:44 mark when Dorian Freeman scored on a putback.
The Buffaloes connected on four of its next six free throw attempts to take a 51-47 lead with 40 seconds left. Waters made it a two-point game with 32 seconds remaining. Milligan added two more free throws to seal the 53-49 victory.
Waters paced Union with 25 points with Kara Pile (Fairdale, Ky.) followed with 11.
For Milligan, Freeman led the way with 11 points, while Alisha Mainer chipped in 10.
The Lady Bulldogs shot 33.9 percent from the field and made only 1 of 9 from 3-point range. The Buffaloes did not shoot any better, hitting 27.0 percent of their shots from the floor and went 3 for 14 from long range. However, Milligan outrebounded Union 50-33, including an 18-4 edge on the offensive glass.
Union returns to action Saturday at Columbia (S.C.) in another conference showdown. Game time is set for 4 p.m.

Editors Notes > Bigfoot researcher Betsy from Charleston has this pitch black creature on video in 720 HD, I can see eyeshine and what looks like a head of a ape looking creature but I'm not positive because of the distance away and at full zoom. I have followed her for a while now and I know she has had bigfoot like activity around her research area. She thinks it may be a adult and baby that is possible but I only see one head so far. Tell me what you think.
Editors Notes > Reading Linda Moulton Howes summary of her interview with Dr. Melba Ketchum I discovered that to this day the labs that did the still do not want to be associated with her study or even comment on their own work that they did on the samples given them. One of the eleven scientists was contacted by Howe stated he would not give an on the record interview on the DNA extraction his lab processed because of the controversy the DeNovo paper has provoked about an alleged bigfoot hybrid threatens the credibility and income of his lab and fellow scientists.
Can you imagine that your lab processes samples for Dr. Ketchum just like they do everyday for other clients but because they find out the samples are concerning sasquatch they refuse to have any association with their own work ! That is the center of the problem that Ketchum's DNA paper faces trying to prove existence of this novel new species.

People that are new to my research often ask "why do you not put a trail camera in your back yard". If you have been following my research you know that I have attempted over and over to capture the subject that has been visiting my residence. I have used trail cameras, remote hardwired video cameras, and mini-spy cams. The trail cameras were laid face down. Objects
were placed in front up the video cameras, and the spy cams stopped functioning or their batteries would run down without explanation.
Elise Parliament Card was hanging the washing in her backyard. Her husband, the afternoon foreman at the West Branch Lumber Mill, had just returned to work after having a sandwich lunch at home.
Elise claimed that she heard a mighty rustling in the cow fields. Then the cows all became agitated. That is when she saw a large white monster, running on all fours, leap over one of the cows. It landed and stood up to its full height of over 12 feet. It let out a massive roar, then sprang toward the washing line, Elise was standing under.
LIGONIER — Except for a chance encounter one night with a tall, dark stranger, 85-year-old Sam Sherry's name might not now appear on the Internet, in yellowed magazine and newspaper clippings – and in a smattering of books about strange phenomenon.
There was little remarkable about Sherry before that night.
He grew up in the small Ligonier Valley town of Wilpen and became a steelworker. He was drafted, fought the Japanese from island to island during World War II, then spent more than two years in hospitals from war wounds.
He returned home and married a local girl, the former Naomi Swank. The couple eventually moved into the same house where Sam had been born. They raised two children – a son who is a Chicago-area priest and a daughter who lives in Blairsville.

MCASD adds four works to collection
Museum collectors vote for Banfi, Manglano-Ovalle, Bowers and Rosler
The members of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's two collectors' groups have spoken:
With approximately $200,000 to spend (in funds raised by the groups), the collectors voted last week for the museum to acquire:
Chiara Banfi's "Redburst"; Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle's "Bird In Space Prototype for MACH 10 Hypervelocity Test (Produced in collaboration with the United States Air Force, Arnold Engineering Development Center and University of Maryland College Park)" with the accompanying photograph "MACH 3 Hypervelocity Test (Run 2, 001003)"; and Andrea Bowers' "One Big Union" and "Legalize My Man"
As there was a little money left over, the collectors also purchased Martha Rosler's "Runway," with additional financial assistance from collectors Brent Woods and Laurie Mitchell; Michael and Tami Lang; Maryanne and Irv Pfister; Faye Hunter; and Lise Wilson and Steve Strauss.
In an online poll, U-T San Diego readers top three choices were the "Bird In Space," "Runway" and "Redburst" (with readers, Bowers placed sixth out of seven artists whose works were under consideration; Abraham Cruzvillegas "Self portrait" placed fourth).
All of the works under consideration are on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art's La Jolla galleries through May 27 as part of "Prospect 2013."

After a competitive start, Tacoma Baptist held Seattle Lutheran scoreless for over seven minutes in the second quarter and never looked back, cruising to a 50-29 win over the Saints to earn a trip to the state regionals. Dayton Pascua led the way for the Crusaders, hitting three three-pointers and finishing with a game-high 23 points – including 16 in the first half.
"It felt good," said Pascua of his shot. "It's just good to stay in rhythm with the offense and let it come to you."
Pascua hit three early baskets to put the Crusaders up 8-2, but Seattle Lutheran came back to cut it to 10-9 at the end of the first. Pascua then hit back-to-back three-pointers early in the second quarter to kick-start a 14-0 run, as the Saints didn't score their first basket of the period until Grant Doerr's layup with 57 seconds left.
"We switched to a triangle-and-two (defense) in the second quarter, and it really seemed to discombobulate them for a few minutes and gave us the push we needed to get out ahead," said Tacoma Baptist head coach Eric Sivertson.
The lead kept growing in the third quarter, as Pascua made it 35-15 with another three midway through the period and added a couple more inside jumpers later. The Crusaders' defense, meanwhile, was dominant on the glass, as they consistently limited the Saints to one-shot possessions and finished with 35 rebounds as a team.
"We have some really good motors on our team," said Pascua, who added seven rebounds and three steals to his point total. "Coach did a really good job of ingraining in our heads to play good, solid defense. Give them one shot, box out and rebound. That's what we did, we stuck to our game plan and did a great job."
Brandon Stoehr finished with 10 points, six rebounds and three steals for the Crusaders, while Dalton Wintersole had seven points and seven rebounds and Drew Jordan had four points and a team-high eight rebounds. Doerr led Seattle Lutheran with eight points, while Saints leading scorer Abijah Smith – who averages 15 points per game – was limited to just three points, including none in the second half.
The win sets the Crusaders up with a regional matchup at Mark Morris High School on Feb. 23 at 4 p.m., with the opponent still to be decided.
Sivertson noted the regional berth shows how far the program has come in a short time. "We were 1-18 two years ago," he said. "To be in the final 16 teams playing, with a chance to go to state, is a big deal for us. We've worked really hard to earn it."

Kangaroo Courtship: Australia's Latest Plan to Fight Global Warming
Here's a fresh idea from Down Under: Eating more kangaroos might help save the planet.
The math goes like this. Australia is trying to figure out how to cut its emissions of greenhouse gases without crippling the economy. Cattle and sheep, by grace of their bodily functions, emit a lot of greenhouse gases—about 11% of Australia's total emissions, and about two-thirds as much as all the cars and trucks in Australia. Kangaroos don't, because they have a different digestive system. So if kangaroos replaced part of the cattle herds as a food source, Australia could cut its emissions by 16 million tons, or 3%, ranchers could earn hundreds of millions of dollars—and there'd still be plenty of juicy steaks.
That's the argument laid out in a new paper arguing for a massive increase in 'roos—and a cultural shift so that Aussies would feel comfortable grilling their national symbol. Raising kangaroos—whose numbers have been dwindling in recent years—would offer an out for the agricultural sector, which doesn't have many other ways to cut its emissions. Replacing hard-hoofed cattle and sheep with kangaroos would also help tackle some of Australia's other environmental problems, like soil erosion, the paper argues. Critics say they've struggled for years to preserve kangaroo populations. The plan's proposed five-fold increase in kangaroos is too ambitious a jump, they say.
But tackling livestock emissions isn't such a far-out idea. Researchers from Wales to Japan have spent years trying to figure out how to make cows less flatulent, since methane is a lot more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Now, thanks to the global food crisis and rising grain prices, livestock herds have come under increasing scrutiny for their environmental impact.
According to some anti-beef proponents, like Jeremy Rifkin of the D.C.- based Foundation on Economic Trends, global livestock ranching is the second-biggest source of greenhouse-gas emissions, behind only transportation. Rajendra Pachauri, the vegetarian head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, preaches a similar message. But with the developed world hooked on meat—and parts of the developing world, like China, rapidly acquiring a taste—it's hard to see how livestock emissions can be tolerably cut.
Of course, the Australian solution presents another dilemma for some environmentalists, who recently battled plans to cull kangaroo populations. Is curbing emissions worth killing for?

A thought Of that late death took all my heart for speech.
William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939)
Source: The Wild Swans at Coole 1919. In Memory of Major Robert Gregory, st. I
Contributed by: Zaady
It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books as written in a specially Christian form of speech, standing apart and distinguishable from the common language of the eastern Roman provinces. Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.
W. M. Ramsa
Source: The Letters to the Seven Churches
Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts. Ils ne se servent de la pensée que pour autoriser leurs injustices, et emploient les paroles que pour déguiser leurs pensées.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
Source: Dialogue xiv. Le Chapon et la Poularde (1766).
The breadth of the [Communications Decency Act's] coverage is wholly unprecedented.... The scope of the CDA is not limited to commercial speech or commercial entities. Its open ended prohibitions embrace all nonprofit entities and individuals posting indecent messages or displaying them on their own computers in the presence of minors. The general, undefined terms "indecent" and "patently offensive" cover large amounts of nonpornographic material with serious educational or other value.
U.S. Supreme Court
Source: 1997 Janet Reno et al. v. ACLU et al.
[The Communications Decency Act] lacks the precision that the First Amendment requires when a statute regulates the content of speech. In order to deny minors access to potentially harmful speech, the CDA effectively suppresses a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive and to address to one another.... In evaluating the free speech rights of adults, we have made it perfectly clear that sexual expression which is indecent but not obscene is protected by the First Amendment. Where obscenity is not involved, we have consistently held that the fact that protected speech may be offensive to some does not justify its suppression.
Source: 1997, Janet Reno et al. v. ACLU et al. [Interior quotes and citations omitted]
The Government first contends that, even though the [Communications Decency Act] effectively censors discourse on many of the Internet's modalities - such as chat groups, newsgroups, and mail exploders - it is nonetheless constitutional because it provides a "reasonable opportunity" for speakers to engage in the restricted speech on the World Wide Web.... The Government's position is equivalent to arguing that a statute could ban leaflets on certain subjects as long as individuals are free to publish books.... One is not to have the exercise of his liberty of expression in appropriate places abridged on the plea that it may be exercised in some other place.
Source: 1997, Janet Reno et al. v. ACLU et al. [Interior quotes and citations omitted]
The vagueness of [the Communications Decency Act] raises special First Amendment concerns because of its obvious chilling effect on free speech. . . . The CDA is [also] a criminal statute. . . . The severity of criminal sanctions may well cause speakers to remain silent rather than communicate even arguably unlawful words, ideas, and images.
Source: 1997, Janet Reno et al. v. ACLU et al.
We agree with the District Court's conclusion that the [Communications Decency Act] places an unacceptably heavy burden on protected speech... In Sable [v. FCC] we remarked that the speech restriction at issue there amounted to "burning the house to roast the pig." The CDA, casting a far darker shadow over free speech, threatens to torch a large segment of the Internet community.
Source: 1997, Janet Reno et al. v. ACLU et al. [Interior clarifications omitted]
Under the [Communications Decency Act], a parent allowing her 17 year old to use the family computer to obtain information on the Internet that she, in her parental judgment, deems appropriate could face a lengthy prison term. . . . Similarly, a parent who sent his 17 year old college freshman information on birth control via e mail could be incarcerated even though neither he, his child, nor anyone in their home community, found the material "indecent" or "patently offensive," if the college town's community thought otherwise. The breadth of this content based restriction of speech imposes an especially heavy burden on the Government to explain why a less restrictive provision would not be as effective as the CDA. It has not done so.
As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship.

Richard Littlemore | February 3, 2007
By Richard Littlemore • Saturday, February 3, 2007 - 15:22
"This is … a U.N.-backed body that quite frankly is an advocacy group for controls on carbon emissions," said Tom Harris, executive director of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, a leading clearinghouse for challenges to the science behind global warming. …
"There're over 10,000 reports that come out in any year on climate change … and this group doesn't represent at all that many of the leading scientists in the field. Our own scientists have raised questions about the data they've seen from the IPCC."
Tom Harris, executive director, the Natural Resources Stewardship Project
The above quote, from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, shows again the extremes that energy-industry funded public relations people will go to attack the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Per a post here a couple of days ago, the Natural Resources Stewardship Project is a public relations front for an energy industry lobby firm; Tom Harris admitted as much to the Toronto Star less than a week ago. The Chair of the NRSP is a retired geographer who has never published anything on atmospheric science and who has consistently lied about his own academic credentials.
Yet these people feel free to dismiss the IPCC as an advocacy group incapable of understanding climate science. In fact, if the Sun-Sentinel is quoting Harris correctly when he says that the IPCC "doesn't represent at all that many of the leading scientists in the field," then Harris has reached a new low in saying things that vary, in stunning fashion, from anything that could resemble objective truth.

Oh, and I guess the forgot to ask whether he was even a scientists (he's not).
It's also a sad day for the denialsts, when a florida news outlet can only find some poor sod all the up in canada who will say such silly nonsense.
Maybe Harris can ask someone at the Florida Sentinal about a nice retirement community down there…. it looks like he's going to need one soon at the rate he's going.

A California-based company is hoping to teach students to be less reliant on plastic water bottles by providing them with a hydration station at school.
Vapur, the innovator of the reusable anti-bottle, is teaming up with the Orfalea Foundation in a sustainability effort to reduce waste and promote hydration in Santa Barbara County Schools.
"Rethink the Drink" started in 2010. Right now, program organizers say almost all schools in the Santa Barbara and the Goleta school districts have the program underway.
Because of the success, organizers are working hard to get more schools in north Santa Barbara County involved.
"It has been great," said Kathi King of the Community Environmental Council. "They have embraced it and they use it. We document the uses on all the machines we put in. And they've been used more than half a million times at this point."
The donation of 12 Vapur refill stations and 5,800 anti-bottles will go to four school districts in Santa Barbara County.

READING, UNITED KINGDOM and BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwire -06/25/12)- Trillium Software®, a business of Harte-Hanks, Inc. (HHS) and a leading provider of Total Data Quality solutions, announced today that British water company United Utilities PLC (UU.L) will implement the Trillium Software System® as part of a data governance initiative to improve the value of the enterprise-wide data that drives its business processes for asset management, customer service and billing.
United Utilities values its asset base at some £8 billion. It has over 3 million business and domestic customers in the North West of England. The data describing the company's water and waste-water assets is critical to supporting their proper management and effective maintenance, including work scheduling processes. Accurate delivery address information and customer details are critical to customer service, billing and revenue recovery operations. Given the size of its operation, even small improvements to data quality can have a significant positive impact.
"We selected the Trillium Software System over competing solutions for its capability across multiple and complex data sets, its ease of use and strong customer references," said Christopher Evans, enterprise information manager at United Utilities.
"The ability to deliver the highest quality of service to our customers depends upon good data and effective processes. They also help us to meet the compliance requirements of the Water Services regulation authorities."
The Trillium Software System will further support United Utilities in its data governance initiatives by helping it to understand the accuracy, consistency and completeness of its data. The utility can then ensure the data meets the company's standards and is fit-for-purpose. The Trillium Software System will also present metrics helping management to monitor data quality over time and to identify any areas needing attention.
"Critical systems-driven business processes in large enterprises can only perform well if they are fed high quality data," said Ed Wrazen VP marketing international at Trillium Software. "In selecting the Trillium Software System, United Utilities has the capability in a single solution to identify, understand and drive action around business data quality issues wherever and whenever they might occur, across its enterprise."

Learn about the new translation of the Roman Missal from Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, as EWTN takes you on location to Cork, Ireland! (Airs 10 p.m. ET, Sunday, Feb. 26; 1 p.m. ET, Tuesday, Feb. 28; and 5 a.m. ET, Thursday, March 1 – exclusively on EWTN.)
Now that we've all had some time to get used to the new translation, this riveting lecture, from Ireland's Clarion Hotel in Cork, should be especially meaningful and more understandable to those of us in the pews. And because Cardinal Burke is also a member of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship, which is responsible for overseeing Church liturgy, you can be sure that you won't get a more informative explanation anywhere else!

[REVIEW] CCSD Minifig Pack#1
Posted 13 January 2010 - 07:38 PM
Set Number: CCSD Minifig Pack #1
Release: 2009 (Comic Con San Diego)
Theme: Star Wars - The Clone Wars
Special: Only 300 ever made.
Price: Varies between 100 USD to 160 USD on Bricklink
Ever since I saw the 6 different Comic Con San Diego (CCSD) minifig packs, I knew I had to get them.
But the pricing was and is pretty high, so I decided to wait a while, which has proven useless earlier and this time was no exception. Luckily I've found a few of them on eBay at a good price. In my opinion Bricklink is waaay off when it comes to pricing these great little display packs.
In this minifig pack, we get Ahsoka (in attack mode), Mace Windu and a Clone Trooper.
All of them are glued to the baseplate and I had some serious trouble reattaching the lightsabres as they fell off during their trip from the US and to my home.
It seems that the figs aren't glued, but the legs are glued to the baseplate.
I have not checked that, as my hand can't really fit inside the plastic box and too much handling will turn corners and edges milky white. So I leave that kind of inspection at your own discression
Thank you TLG for finally accepting what your product is and isn't
Collectible Number:
Wooopeee! I got me number 217 of 300.
Not sure wether I should be honoured or delighted by that.
Perhaps I'd just go for "meh!".
To me it's not really important wether this set was made in a zillion copies or 300.
In fact I find the idea of limited productions a little "off-throwing", that just makes this a set for an exclusive amount of people and I can't see why a toy should be limited in any way.
Perhaps this kind of trophy hunting just doesn't suit my kind of person
Nevertheless I am thrilled at having the set though
Ahsoka, as we like her.
She's featured in a total of 5 sets so far.
Mace Windu, looks a little bored to be stuffed in a trans clear plastic box.
He's featured in 2 sets and 1 accessory set so far.
Clone Trooper, ready for action.
He's actually in a lot of sets (11), check'em out
One might fear that the figs are the cheap Chinese version, but luckily they're not.
The Box:
There really isn't much to say about the box, except that the trans-clear surface made it hard to get any really decent photos and it's decorated with pictures of "The Quest for R2D2" and "The Hunt for R2D2" on the back.
It's got a picture background behind the figs which is kinda cool and each of the 6 minifig packs has their own background, depending on which episode it belongs to.
Final Comments:
This is a great little set, it looks awesome on display.
Especially if you've got more of them side by side.
But and this is a big but, it's price and availability doesn't match the greatness of it.
I got them cheap and I had some money to spare from my BL store, but if I hadn't, then I'd skipped this.
The money's better spend on Battle Packs or regular sets in my opinion, but I certainly agree that as a collector this is pretty damn close to a "must-have".
Shadows enlightened me that these minifig packs clearly are inspired by Hasbro's Cinema Scene Packs:
Enjoy the review and don't forget to rate the set in the poll.

Anyway it was a great review. The number of sets the figs had appeared was nice little bonus although not overly useful it made the review much nicer.
I take it you're not opening this?

Posted 13 January 2010 - 08:10 PM
Which isn't that far off the price for all 3 figs.
Why would I open it?
They're glued
I did open it though, the lightsabres had fallen off and I had to reattach them
-which I've also mentioned in the review itself.

I have seen those up-close at CopMikes place.
I saw them all on BL some time ago and was thinking of buying them. But I don´t find that I need them so badly really.
The package is nice with the background and so on. But this is something that I will pass on.
If they would have contained some figs that was no where else to be found, then I might have bought it.

As a collector, I'd certainly like to add this set to my collection.
Judging more objectively, however, I have all the figures in other sets, and since there's nothing else of interest in the box (e.g. a small structure or vehicle perhaps) I gotta say I'm a bit underwhelmed overall. Just glueing 3 (already available) minifigs to a baseplate and selling the set as a "special edition" seems pretty lazy to me. Easy money, but not very exciting.

The United States and Russia have obligated themselves to pursuing complete nuclear disarmament. But despite the two countries' treaty obligations, it's reasonable to wonder if Russia and the United States will ever accept the constraints on power that total disarmament implies.
The authors argues that disarmament's best chance for progress is to focus on delegitimizing nuclear weapons rather than on strict numerical reductions in arsenals.
The author argues that reducing nuclear arsenals to the point that they represent only a minimum deterrent might be a useful interim step for disarmament, but complete abolition must remain the eventual goal.

Bulldog girls 10th at CIF swim meet
By Joe Naiman
Ramona High School's girls swim team placed 10th among Division II schools at the CIF meet May 21 at Del Norte High School.
The Bulldogs' highlights included a second-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley by sophomore Gina Lucas, who broke her own school record for that event in the finals as well as at the May 18 preliminaries at Del Norte.
Lucas finished third in the 100-yard backstroke, and Ramona won two consolation finals races.
"It was a great experience. It was a great cap to the end of the year," said Coach Jolyn Yanez. "It was really exciting."
During the Palomar League meet, Lucas swam the 200-yard individual medley — which consists of 50 yards apiece in the backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle — in 2:10.87 during the preliminaries and 2:10.60 at the finals.
Katherine Abbott had previously held the school record with a time of 2:11.05 in 2008.
Lucas lowered the record to 2:09.33 in the CIF preliminaries, which seeded her second in the finals. She swam the finals race in 2:08.00 to finish second behind Heren Alanis of La Jolla High School.
"It was definitely an exciting race," Yanez said.
Lucas had a time of 1:08.90 in the 100-yard breaststroke during the preliminaries to earn the third seed in the championship finals, and she placed third in the championship race with a personal best time of 1:07.86.
Senior Ellie Carrano, freshman Paulina Bernd, senior Madi Lanz and Lucas comprised the 200-yard freestyle relay team whose time of 1:43.65 earned fourth place in the preliminaries and a lane in the championship race. Their time of 1:45.15 in the finals placed sixth.
The swimmers or relay teams with the top six times in the preliminary heats advance to the championship finals while the next six times earn lanes in the consolation finals.
Lanz had a preliminaries time of 1:00.94, her best of the season, in the 100-yard butterfly to earn the seventh seed. She then won the consolation finals with a time of 1:00.01. The win in the consolation finals equates to a seventh-place finish.
Carrano qualified for the consolation finals with a time of 57.08 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle race before posting a 12th-place time of 57.16 seconds in the finals.
Carrano and Lanz closed out their high school careers with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay consolation race. Carrano, freshman Ashlee Holabird, Lanz and Lucas had a seventh-place time of 3:52.13 in the preliminaries and a season-best time of 3:46.72 in the consolation finals.
"The girls did a good job," Yanez said.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved a bill by voice vote May 21 intended to give the Department of Homeland Security more flexibility in hiring cybersecurity specialists.
The measure, sponsored by Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.), would authorize DHS to pay cyber experts more and retain them with bonuses, tools Carper said are already used by the National Security Agency and the Defense Department.
Carper said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and others in the department had provided input on the bill.
"Today, we all know that our country faces a shortage of cybersecurity professionals. We also face unrelenting attacks on a 24/7 basis from folks who are trying to steal our personally identified information, our trade secrets, weapons secrets, you name it," Carper said during the committee's consideration of the legislation.
The bill will not head to the Senate floor until lawmakers agree on a funding offset, but ranking Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, one of the Senate's toughest budget hawks, indicated that is unlikely to be a significant roadblock.
Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu expressed concern that at least part of the additional cost for bulking up the cyber workforce is a result of competition between agencies for scarce expertise.
There is "an arms race going on between federal agencies to hire a limited pool of skilled workers. And so the agencies bid against each other and it just raises the cost to the taxpayer," she lamented, suggesting Congress look outside Washington for solutions.
Coburn agreed with Landrieu on principle but not on methods. Congress needs to help "fix cyber now. We need these people now," he said.

Testing Report: Sebring International Raceway
SEBRING, FL Feb 19, 2013—Takuma Sato got off to a good start in the no. 14 ABC Supply Honda as he was quickest among the 13 drivers who were testing at Sebring International Raceway today. The private test was Sato's first time in A.J. Foyt's car and his first time back in an Indy car since the final race of the season last September.
"It was nice to get back in the car after the winter break--it felt really good," Sato said. "The team started with a setup they knew, and I needed to feel the difference from what I've experienced--which I did feel some differences. Then we moved on to the testing program and various setup changes. They weren't always positive but we learned from the negative changes too. It was a very solid morning. In the afternoon we were constantly learning. We did lots of miles today so the car was very reliable and we were able to get through most of our program.
"I'm happy that we did some good lap times at the end of the day but it is only testing," Sato said. "Still it's encouraging and a nice boost for the ABC Supply team. Everyone worked well together so it was a good day."
Sato turned in a quick lap of 51.947 seconds to edge out fellow Honda-powered driver Scott Dixon, who clocked in at 52.017 seconds. Will Power was the quickest Chevy-powered driver (52.153) while Dario Franchitti's Honda turned a 52.322 lap. Justin Wilson was fifth quickest (52.327) to give Honda four of the top five spots.
Team Director Larry Foyt was pleased by the ABC Supply team's effort, saying, "It's just testing but what's good is that we feel like we made progress all day and made the car better. Some things we did in the off season seemed to correlate to the race track which is what you hope when you do off track testing. The crew worked well together; it was great to pick up where we felt we left off--even with the new driver. Takuma did a good job, gave great feedback today which really helped Don and A.J. make the changes."
Other drivers participating in the test session were Tony Kanaan (52.381), Helio Castroneves (52.410), Graham Rahal (52.413), Charlie Kimball (52.439), Simona de Silvestro (52.442), Josef Newgarden (52.498), A.J. Allmendinger (52.618) and Oriol Servia (52.690).
Allmendinger, who competed and won in Indy cars before switching to NASCAR in 2007, didn't take long to get acclimated to Indy cars again wheeling the Penske Chevy. Ironically, up until today, he had never met Foyt. Allmendinger tweeted earlier in the day: "Very cool and a honor this morning getting to meet A.J. Foyt. Finally was able to meet the person I was named after."
The original "A.J." was happy to meet the young driver but even happier with his team's performance today. "The test went real good for us today," Foyt said. "We got Takuma comfortable and he ran down in the 51-second bracket which no one else did. He did a good job. We ran a lot different shock combination than we have in the past because of the stuff we learned over the winter and I think it really paid off."
Sato and both Foyts head to Chicago Wednesday to attend sponsor ABC Supply's annual managers' meeting and dinner on Thursday. Then both Sato and Larry Foyt head home while A.J. returns to Florida to take in the Daytona 500 this weekend. Foyt's season begins a month later as the IZOD IndyCar Series kicks off March 24th in St. Petersburg.

Follow-Up Sales Systems (FUSS), a longtime service provider for dealers, has a new program in which it manages its clients' social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
If you're not familiar with the Arkansas City, Kan.-based company, that's partly by design. FUSS takes pride in staying in the background while it helps about a thousand dealers follow up with their customers via personalized greeting cards, letters, coupons, surveys, and so on. The company can even send bags of cookies to customers. A husband-and-wife team founded FUSS back in 1979.
So why has the company taken on social media? Because in many ways it's the digital version of personalized follow-up, says Mike Beauchamp, FUSS' director of digital media. "They're complementary services," he says. "They're both retention marketing and helping dealers get out there and generate repeat business."
Just as websites became mandatory a few years ago, dealers of all sizes now must partake in social media, Beauchamp contends. "It's good for transparency. It's good for confidence: 'Hey, I'm putting myself out here as a business. I have nothing to hide.' Customers are expecting that more and more because of the big names who have already embraced social media. Every one of the major OEMs uses it."
The basics
The bulk of the FUSS Social Media Marketing and Management program is the daily maintenance of a dealers' Facebook fan page, Twitter account, YouTube channel and Flickr account. "It's really just the nitty-gritty, the nuts and bolts that any dealer should be able to do on their own theoretically but don't have the time, the patience or, for some of them, the know-how," Beauchamp says.
The program is a monthly subscription service starting at $99. Four price plans offer different levels of service. Contact Beauchamp for a pricing sheet that clearly explains what each level provides. Dealers do not sign a long-term contract, and they can switch plans throughout the year, using a cheaper plan during the off-season. "The reason for that is twofold," Beauchamp says. "No. 1, they have less money coming in to support the plan, but No. 2, they've got more time on their hands to take a more active role."
To help FUSS write the Tweets and Facebook postings, dealers fill out a weekly form asking about the store's current events and promotions. "There are weeks where they don't send me anything, and I pull from what they sent previously," Beauchamp explains. "You can take content and spread it out over a pretty good amount of time."

About the Book
From Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Matt Richtel, a brilliant, narrative-driven exploration of technology's vast influence on the human mind and society, dramatically-told through the lens of a tragic "texting-while-driving" car crash that claimed the lives of two rocket scientists in 2006.
In this ambitious, compelling, and beautifully written book, Matt Richtel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times, examines the impact of technology on our lives through the story of Utah college student Reggie Shaw, who killed two scientists while texting and driving. Richtel follows Reggie through the tragedy, the police investigation, his prosecution, and ultimately, his redemption.
In the wake of his experience, Reggie has become a leading advocate against "distracted driving." Richtel interweaves Reggie's story with cutting-edge scientific findings regarding human attention and the impact of technology on our brains, proposing solid, practical, and actionable solutions to help manage this crisis individually and as a society.
A propulsive read filled with fascinating, accessible detail, riveting narrative tension, and emotional depth, A Deadly Wandering explores one of the biggest questions of our time—what is all of our technology doing to us?—and provides unsettling and important answers and information we all need.
A landmark exploration of the vast and expanding impact of technology, rivetingly told through the lens of a deadly collision
One of the year's most original and masterfully reported books, A Deadly Wandering by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Matt Richtel interweaves the cutting-edge science of attention with the tensely plotted story of a mysterious car accident and its aftermath to answer some of the defining questions of our time: What is technology doing to us? Can our minds keep up with the pace of change? How can we find balance? Through Richtel's beautifully constructed narrative, a complex and far-reaching topic becomes intimate and urgent—an important call to reexamine our own lives.
On the last day of summer, an ordinary Utah college student named Reggie Shaw fatally struck two rocket scientists while texting and driving along a majestic stretch of highway bordering the Rocky Mountains. Richtel follows Reggie from the moment of the tragedy, through the police investigation, the state's groundbreaking prosecution (at the time there was little precedent to guide the court), and ultimately, Reggie's wrenching admission of responsibility. Richtel parallels Reggie's journey with leading-edge scientific findings regarding human attention and the impact of technology on our brains—showing how these devices, now thoroughly embedded into all aspects of our lives, play to our deepest social instincts and prey on parts of the brain that crave stimulation, creating loops of compulsion, even addiction.
Remarkably, today Reggie is a leading advocate who has helped spark a national effort targeting distracted driving, and the arc of his story provides a window through which Richtel pursues actionable solutions to help manage this crisis individually and as a society. A propulsive read filled with fascinating scientific detail, riveting narrative tension, and rare emotional depth, A Deadly Wandering is a book that can change—and save—lives.

Matt Richtel brilliantly tells the story of the aftermath of a deadly distracted driving crash. His portrait is riveting. I could not stop reading, and neither will you." — Ray LaHood, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation

"A masterpiece of reporting, insight, and empathy. ... A beautiful, cautionary tale that reads like a novel, and that we disregard at our risk." — Robert Kurson, author of Shadow Divers
