I became extremely torn when I fell in love with Redpepper. We fought for what we have now which required months of intense sharing, communication and heated arguments. We almost lost each other too which was horrible.
Today I have no issues with our relationship or the people in it....none. This seems completely normal and comfortable to me. This was only possible because we both clearly identified what we needed to be healthy and true to ourselves. We trust each other and want a future together involving all our chosen family.
I think we are rare in some ways. We certainly are lucky considering our different natures and backgrounds. Our love is total. Without that, I wouldn't be here at all and we would be friends but not intimate friends.

Skip to comments.'Greener' Climate Prediction Shows Plants Slow Warming
Posted on 12/10/2010 3:24:36 AM PST by Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit
A new NASA computer modeling effort has found that additional growth of plants and trees in a world with doubled atmospheric carbon dioxide levels would create a new negative feedback -- a cooling effect -- in the Earth's climate system that could work to reduce future global warming. The cooling effect would be -0.3 degrees Celsius (C) (-0.5 Fahrenheit (F)) globally and -0.6 degrees C (-1.1 F) over land, compared to simulations where the feedback was not included, said Lahouari Bounoua, of Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. Bounoua is lead author on a paper detailing the results published Dec. 7 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Without the negative feedback included, the model found a warming of 1.94 degrees C globally when carbon dioxide was doubled.
(Excerpt) Read more at sciencedaily.com ...
Yeah all that evidence is out there under two feet off snow!!!!! I just read that England has had the coldest start to winter since 1659!!!
So, now we should build more plants, I suppose.
Power plants, chemical plants.... OK, whatever.
At this point, anything NASA does is a joke.
"Climate change" is nothing but a tool of the Stalinist progressives.
Don't confuse the weather and the climate or you are as bad as the the libs saying every heatwave and hurricane are proff.
Also - did you ever notice what latitude England is at? The Guld Stream keeps it warm (as it does the US East Coast). If it shuts off, it gets to be like Canada. Many climate change models also predict that.
I know it requires some deeper thinking to understand how global warming might cause some places to get cooler, but it really is within the context of reality.
Climate change HAS happened in the past and WILL happen in the future (incudling the warming of the planet leading to the cooling of Europe). The only real debate now is whether there current changes are anthropogenic or not.
To deny anthropogenic climate change is a legitimate position. To deny that the climate changes is like saying the earth is flat.
Proff = Proof
"I know it requires some deeper thinking to understand how global warming might cause some places to get cooler"
When the climate doesn't cooperate with the Michael Manns of the world, and the Algores and the Joseph Stalins of the world, they fabricate more "studies" to make the results fit their prior conclusions.
Plants eat CO2. So more CO2 = more plants = No Global Warming.
So does that now mean it is open season on sequoias to be used for making paper? Sheesh. Someone at NASA left a real incadecent light bulb lying around and some enterprising individual actually used it!
Living in the southest, it is really funny to explain to know-nothing enviros that paper is made from mostly southern pines that grow like weeds down here and they are actually a renewable crop. Then drive them out to a crop forest to watch their heads explode.
Yeah, but a warmer climate HAS caused a colder Europe in the past. Following the last ice age, the big melt of the North American glacier shut off the Gulf Stream and caused Europe to freeze anew. This actually set civilization back about 2000 years since it destroyed some of the first permanent settlements in current Turkey and Kazahastan.
In other words, the planet got warmer and Europe got colder. Once again, it has nothing to do with whether or not humans are causing it today; the premise is not only plausible, it has actually happened.
Only if you accept the premise that more CO2 causes climate change.
So a bunch of leftists get together with scientists, and fabricate studies to make it seem like the engine of the free enterprise system (the use of energy) is going to make us all die?
And we're supposed to fall for it?
This is what they've been doing with the original global warming plan (before the climate stopped cooperating with their scheme).
These geniuses also have not figured out how to calculate the effects of cloud cover in their models. Who is gullible enough to believe these wild forecasts of climate in future centuries when they obviously never saw these frigid winters in their forecasts of three or four years ago?
Apparently you just want to spew dogma rather than engage in a dialogeu - but that is your right.
I frankly don't buy the conspiracy theories and don't appreciate the resident wackos who prefer this course than actually considering the real scientific possiblity and potetnial consequences. Of course your screen name indicates this position so no suprise there.
I did read somewhere that "THEY" are trying to make a device to control your brainwaves so perhaps you should get a tin foil hat.
I think you are confusing "climate" and "weather".
The global climate is an average of temperatures everywhere and not based on what is happening in a particular region.
Wow, they really avoid the cloud word. Solar heat reflecting clouds are like krytonite to the global warmers. They never bring them up, just say we don't understand much about them.
Now this is the type of thing that is imporant to bring up. It is a huge weakness of the models as is the premise that past warming is caused by CO2 - as opposed to the reality that warming proceeded increases in CO2 levels.
Good grief... I thought Armageddon was right around the corner?
Does that mean we can plan our vacation for next summer?
So let me see if I have this straight. Carbon emissions will either cause the planet to warm or to cool and will cause the climate to change, sometimes on a daily basis. Well that pretty well covers it, doesn't it then?
Why don't they just say what they mean: carbon emissions will cause money to flow from rich countries to poor countries. There, fixed it.
"I know it requires some deeper thinking to understand how global warming might cause some places to get cooler, but it really is within the context of reality."
Do you mean like the kind of thinking that does not include the higher CO2 levels spurring plant growth and hence dampening increases in temperature in climate change computer models? I don't disagree with most of what you posted, but please...do not get swept up with "higher and lower" thinking just because someone disagrees with what you think is correct. The point most are making here is that the so called climate science has been taken over by ideologues who have in a scientific sense destroyed the validity and hence credibility of the former science. I have not ever seen anyone here who thinks that there is a status quo on temperatures...other than those who fret and worry over so called "climate change".
The only point of this "study" is to make it seem like the global warming cult was on the money the whole time.
To perpetrate the falsehood that global warming really is happening, and it really is caused by man, and now it's turning into global cooling but it's still the same thing and we need to double our efforts to regulate carbon.
Sorry, I don't agree with Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, or Niccolo Machiavelli, or any of the rest of them. I don't like Max Horkheimer or Herbert Marcuse. I think their ideas were the opposite of what they have been claimed to be.
I have not seen many that do. The ocean circulations like the Gulf Stream depend on ice creation in the Arctic. Doesn't matter in the least how much melts as long as roughly the same amount freezes each year so that the saltier leftover water sinks to the bottom and drives the circulation. Surface alterations like Greenland meltwater will not play a role for centuries if ever.
"I did read somewhere that THEY are trying to make a device to control your brainwaves so perhaps you should get a tin foil hat."
Now that is some real intelligent argument, funny you cannot address the persons point that the so-called science has lost it's credibility. But, you sure do come strong on attacking the person personally...
A one-off event, draining of the inland lake.
As far as I am concerned, there is not a shred of "science" regarding climate I am inclined to trust until it is disassociated from politics, and by that I mean the funding. The politics that drive climate research are all slanted one way. One single way, and no other. It is a giant teat the scientific community has been sucking off of, and their rigor in defending their "science" when it has been used inappropriately, out of context, or just plain lied about, has been far less than satisfactory to me.
There have been far too many (though not all) scientists who have said nothing about the way their research has been used, so as not to put their funding at risk. There has been big money in climate research.
But even more disturbing are the "scientists" who buy into global warming. The ones who are most vocal are those for whom earth sciences may not even be their primary discipline.
Global Warming is all political claptrap, especially (MOST ESPECIALLY) anthropogenic global warming.
No "conspiracy theory" can possibly do justice to the reality of the "green" movement. I got my PhD in chemisty in 1973, and watched the greens destroy the American nuclear power industry, and attempt to destroy pretty much every other industry that didn't "fit" their socialist agenda. "Climate science" is just another attempt to do the same thing. And they themselves say precisely that.
As to "global warming"....ALL the models are garbage. I suggest you read Dr. Roy Spencer's new book "The Great Global Warming Blunder-How Mother Nature Fooled The World's Top Climate Scientists" (actually how the "top climate scientists" fooled themselves and their "true believers") to understand how and why. His published peer reviewed study has been completely ignored by the "climate science industry" and the major news media, despite pointing out a gigantic fundamental flaw in the modeling efforts.
Yup. And it lasted for more several centuries.
You might want to go search the lost and found for your sense of humor.
Show me your computer modeling and I'll show you mine that says it isn't... just like statistics, find one you like. They can't tell me what the weather will be tomorrow let a lone years from now.
"I think you are confusing climate and weather.
The global climate is an average of temperatures everywhere and not based on what is happening in a particular region."
I think you are confused...there is no data on temperatures "everywhere". There are samples which are taken that are supposed to reflect the global average. These samples have been shown to be faulty for various reasons including expanding urban areas causing temperature increases (concrete) at particular testing sites, so called scientists dismissing and removing data from sites which are not congruent with their theories, and interpreting short term measurements with a few controls that do not reflect real life and then extrapolating that false data to provide "evidence" of the "facts" they wish promoted.
In order to grow, plant life needs sunlight, CO2, water and various nitrates/nitrites. The exact proportions vary from plant species to plant species. Any of the four can be a limiting factor, but as it only comprises 0.03% of the atmosphere CO2 is by far the most usual one. Therefore if the concentration of CO2 goes up, surely plant growth is going to be less constrained, photosynthesis will increase and will therefore "consume" more CO2. So therefore, isn't the problem to some extent self-correcting?
I just think it's terribly immoral to lie about the climate in order to perpetrate socialism on the entire world.
After all, the true end of socialism is not "utopia" but theft of power by a very few. (It will always result in the most brutal among them killing off those who helped them seize power.)
The CO2=catastrophe advocates say that solar warming triggers CO2 feedback and more warming from that. For example the relatively small warming from the Milankovitch cycle plus the fact that the NH gets more sun creates the interglacials, like the present one. The CO2 in their theory is a multiplier taking 100's or 1000's of years, but basically amplifying the warming in a full feedback loop. They claim that the current manmade CO2 is a short circuit.
There are several problems with that theory. First M cycles have coincided with more drastic solar magnetic changes. Second, M cycles and alleged CO2 feedback reaches a certain high temperature and no further (a one-off event 200M years ago does not change things). Third, the feedback depends on the climate sensitivity to CO2 which depends on the solar magnetic and other factors. Those are not in the models, not in the ice age forcing studies, and an area of research looked on with disfavor.
So the modelers do agree with your statement above that warming precedes the CO2 rise, but then they add a continuous loop of warming and CO2 rise for centuries to get their result.
Yes! In Newspeak, cold is warm! For Victory!
I think the progressive movement should try something new—how about good old fashioned honesty?
Why don't they simply present socialism for what it is, out in the open, and build their support from there?
Instead of making up schemes like "global warming" and then having to rename it first "climate change" and then "global cooling caused by global warming."
Why are socialists so afraid of their own ideology?
You likely could have made your point without disparaging the other fellow, who was making valid points. Accusing someone of embracing dogma over logic is rarely considered to be humor, and almost never complimentary. But that is my opinion.
This is a global scam with trillions of dollars, damaged economies, lost jobs and the very sovereignty of our country at stake (here in the USA, at least. The European Union has made sovereignty less of an issue for many Europeans, as I see it.)
This is a subject for which logic has been marginal for some time now, and that is entirely the fault of the supporters of AGW, as they have vilified anyone who even suggests their theory is seriously and fatally flawed. I agree with the other poster who suggested the purpose of this article is to support the notion that the "Global Warmists" have been right on the money all along. I don't think that is tin-foil theory either.
It is self-correcting. The manmade CO2 (calculated from fossil fuel use) is 1/2 abosrbed by nature. The rest is too much to be absorbed so it is building up. But there is solid research to indicate that nature will absorb more. The alarmists say that nature will absorb less, but they are confused by CO2 feedback processes that take 100's or 1000's of years. They will even push CO2 or methane feedback on science sites as fast, but it is not. One thing the alarmists don't mention is that if we stopped producing CO2, the levels would fall about half way back to our preindustrial level in about 40 years. Instead they claim 500 or 1000 years which directly contradicts their claim that the ocean is "hiding" heat (it can't hide heat but not hide CO2, it is the same ocean turnover that hides both).
"You might want to go search the lost and found for your sense of humor."
I did and I could not find mine...but I found yours...would you like it back?
I'll give you a dollar for it.
I agree completely. But whenever honesty and complete openness is suggested to the warming zealots, they scream that science is being attacked and double down on their claims. Climategate if anything showed their circle the wagons approach to politics. But they are losing the political battle big time.
One of the most critical flaws in the role of CO2 is assuming that, at the levels in our atmosphere we see it at, increasing it is the same as painting a window. Global Warming advocates say the behavior at these levels is apparent in the same way. The first coat of paint will somewhat cover the window, but light will still come in. Each subsequent coat of paint will produce a linear response until no light comes in through the window.
At these levels of CO2, that is a completely false premise. One of many.
As critics, too many of us fall into the trap of saying that CO2 doesn't have the effects it is credited with because it is only .004% of the atmosphere. Supporters will immediately fire back that science is full of things that have effects apparent at those low concentrations.
And then it ended to never happen again. BTW, thanks for posting this thread, it is good to see moderate scientific voices here.
most important, nuclear plants.
When one drives through much of the south there are mega acres of woodlands that were farm land as recent as fifty years ago. The increase in biomass on these acres should have slowed and even prevented the warming that really never occurred
"Ill give you a dollar for it."
SOLD!!! And you get $.99 change back...sorry Einigkeit, your sense of humor has been sold. You will have to go without until you can buy someone else's. Don't worry though, if I find mine I will give you a 1% share, that should more than double what you had anyway... ;)
NASA needs to get out of the business of liberal politics and get back to the core business of rockets and space travel.
Our next goal needs to be to acquire the ability to nuke any spot on the planet from orbit and within minutes.
Liberals cannot tell people exactly what they want to do. If they did, the reaction would be nearly unanimous: "What? You expect me to support that?"
We cannot give them sodium pentathol, but we can be patient and listen. As anyone knows who has ever considered the ethics and mechanics of deception, telling lies over time is nearly impossible because you cannot keep track of your lies. Liberals depend on people not remembering (or caring) what they have said or promised in the past.
In other words...Liberals have already implemented "The Memory Hole", but...that DAMNED Internet keeps getting in the way!

Jodha Akbar: 15th April; Akbar Sincerely Repents At Darga For His Mistake
Jodha Akbar 15th April written episode: In her new shelter, Jodha introduces herself as Laxmi. A girl steals her Kanha idol and keeps running with it; she stops when Jodha runs out of breath. She tells Jodha that her name is Shahnaz. Shahnaz predicts that Jodha must be a queen. She claims that she can read faces. She reads Jodha's face and says that she must have been deeply hurt by someone.
Shahnaz tells Jodha that everyone calls her mad. She thinks that those people are mad, who give priority to material pleasures over emotions. When Jodha asks about her love, she says that her love is lost. A lady tells Jodha that the girl is different from others. She worships Krishna sometimes and sometimes Allah; she sings both Bhajan and Kawali.
Women ask Jodha about her husband. She says that her husband is busy with work and so she has come alone to visit the pilgrimage. The women doubts that she has left home after some misunderstanding.
In time of eating, Jodha becomes caring for Shahnaz. The girl prays for her well being. Akbar orders his soldiers to be divided into several troops and go in search of Jodha. He enters the Darga to repent for his mistake and pray for Jodha.
Abul Mali asks Sharifuddin why he did not inform him about Jalal's Ajmer trip. Sharifuddin tells him that he could not take benefit of the situation as Jalal is accompanied by a big troop of soldiers. He adds that Sujhamal has alerted Jalal about his enemy inside the palace.

They cold-called me too, and the whole thing sounded good, you only pay per click and your advertising keywords show up on HGTV.com and DIY.com and HGTVPro, etc etc. This company was perfectly polite and seemed legitimate, but 6 weeks ago I began being told "your ads will launch soon", and then "your ads will be live within 2 weeks".They never charged me, but after reading the other report, I called them up to ask for a firm launch date of when my ads would go live.
The woman that answered the phone sounded very unsure, and then the guy who is supposed to be my "account admin" was not someone any of them seemed to have ever heard of: Adam Shabbir. I am not sure what's going on with this company, but it made me very nervous that they kept saying "your ads are in production, we're not sure... when they'll be live, they're ready, but it's just on hold...".
They gave no reasons for the delay, and it's been going on for 6 weeks. In my opinion, they're simply collecting data for some other company or for some other reason, but they don't seem legitimate in any way. We cancelled the whole thing.
By the way, I've never actually seen any ads from Vertical Search Works on hgtv.com, ever. Do not be taken in.

Meet the New Girl: Elena Melnik
In the industry since 2005, her recent work with Swedish duo Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer is finally getting her noticed.
We love it when photographers pluck a model out of the crowded haystack and thrust her into the spotlight. Steven Meisel did that for Karen Elson in the late nineties, and Mario Testino chose Jacquetta Wheeler as his belle du jour during that same time, too. More recently, Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer have lent their talents to Russian model Elena Melnik. Now, we know she's been in the industry since 2005, but it's her work with Knoepfel and Indlekofer that shows us that this 22-year-old is more than just a pretty face. Last year, Melnik worked with them twice for German Vogue (May and July issues). And this month, you can spot her in French Vogue. See for yourself in her Off the Runway gallery.

Constant exposure to fast food restaurants could make people more likely to eat the food at those restaurants and be more obese, according to a new study from the UK.
Researchers found that people who were most exposed to fast food restaurants in their home neighborhoods and near their offices -- as well as on their way to and from home -- had a body mass index (BMI) that was 1.21 points greater than people who were least exposed to the restaurants. The most exposed people were also nearly two times more likely to be obese than the least exposed people.
However, they noted that the study

".... like you bunch of Sheila's"
Sheila's what?
Do you use apostrophes to denote plural in Colorado, Gillian?

Nice to see him try and fail to make an idiot out of you for a change Butch.
He's tried and failed so often with me, it's a miracle he still has the motivation to try.
...and he wonders why he drinks? ha ha ha

Hi there,
I have two plugins (wp-galleria and YAK) which use shortcodes.
Some of them work, some don't. Example (wp-galleria):
Bracket galleria bracket works fine but bracket galleria grid"books" bracket does not
I deactivated all other plugins but it didn't make any difference.
Is it the theme (Monochrome Gallery by Graph Paper Press) or what else could be the problem?
Grateful for any help

Joe Calzaghe Confident: Cleverly Can Take Out Braehmer
By Chris LaBate
Former champion Joe Calzaghe is backing fellow Welsh boxer Nathan Cleverly to accomplish great things in the sport. Calzaghe is confident that Cleverly has what it takes to become a world champion. He gets his chance on May 21 when he face WBO light heavyweight champion Juergen Braehmer. The two boxer had previously sparred in the past when Cleverly was a young prospect being groomed by Joe's father, Enzo Calzaghe. Cleverly also appeared on Calzaghe's undercards six times but now it's his big chance to shine as he headlines the big show at the O2 Arena.
"He's definitely something special and I really can't wait for him to fulfil his destiny and win this title," said Calzaghe to Wales Online. "He's an exceptional talent and you can see how grounded he is. I'm so confident in what he's going to do. I think he's had enough experience to take out Juergen Braehmer. He has got such great experience to have sparred with me from a young age and to have been around the likes of Enzo Maccarinelli, Bradley Pryce and Gavin Rees."
"We had hundreds of rounds of sparring, world class sparring. He has been there and fought on a big stage, like Las Vegas and the Millennium Stadium so he knows what that atmosphere is like. He is centre stage now and needs to step up but I believe he can."
Calzaghe deserves his opinion even if the is retired considering he's beaten everyone put in front of him including bhop!!!!! clev is gonna give braehmer a boxing lesson and then we will see what he can do against bhop, pascal,…Comment by Sparked_1985 on 05-15-2011
I think Braehmer is going to stop him in the 9th. Have this feeling.Comment by billfifty on 05-15-2011

My company is just starting to offer WordPress sites, but I need to bring in an outside contractor to develop my themes, etc. Can anyone offer a ballpark that I should 1. pay a contractor to turn my PSDs into a theme, templates, etc. and 2. charge an end-client? Most seem to want just the standard About Us, Our Products, Recommendations, Contact Us and a blog. Obviously I'll be able to develop a formula once we have a few under our belt, but for the first few, we're really out of our element.
Thank you.

"Tulum, Mexico" Tulum by SWFC_Fan
Tulum Travel Guide: 469 reviews and 1,383 photos
The famous Mayan ruins site of Tulum lies on the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsular in the region of Quintana Roo.
Tulum is a 2 hour coach journey along the coast south of Cancun and just a 1 hour journey south of Playa del Carmen.
The small town of Tulum, with accommodation, shops, bars, restaurants and a bus terminal, lies about 5km from the ruins.
How to get there?
Tulum is easily reached by road from the other coastal towns on Mexico's Yucatan peninsular. Buses connect Tulum with Playa del Carmen and Cancun (with a few other stops en-route) frequently throughout the day.
I arrived at Tulum ruins on an ADO-operated bus from Cancun (journey time: 2 hours / cost: 67 Pesos), which stopped at the Crocodile park and Xel Ha en-route. I returned to Cancun (via Xel Ha and Playa del Carmen) late in the afternoon on another ADO-operated bus which I caught from the bus terminal in Tulum town. The cost was again 67 Pesos. I was told that the coaches operated by MAYAB cost a little over 40 Pesos each way between Cancun and Tulum, but their coaches are not as modern or comfortable as those of ADO.
Note: At the time of my visit, only the morning buses from Cancun to Tulum (leaving at 9:15am and 10:15am) went directly to the ruins. All the later buses went only to the town of Tulum. From the town it is necessary to take public transport to the ruins which lie about 5km away. Similarly, not all buses returning to Cancun stop at the ruins. You should check in advance which buses visit the ruins, or else you will need to make your way to Tulum town to catch a bus from the bus terminal.

City officials say they are satisfied with the projects that the Downtown Dothan Redevelopment Authority has been working on.
Last Tuesday night, the city commission voted to fund the organization for the second year.
Officials have been discussing extra security downtown with police bike patrols and moving forward with the new library project.
They also had a conference call with a developer who spoke about using tax credits to help fund buildings and redevelopment efforts.
City Manager Mike West says that the next five-years will be an exciting time for Downtown Dothan.
"I know some people question the city's expenditure but you have to look at the investment that the city, county, and federal government have in the downtown core. The building we're in now... you've got the opera house, the civic center, county courthouse, federal courthouse..." said West.
West also says that pairing up the right developers with the right projects will help development take off.

Have you ever thought your cat or dog knows something you don't?
A new study suggests you might be right! Researchers in London believe your pets see in ultraviolet, meaning they can see things you can't. (Via: Flickr / FastPhive)
Cats and dogs aren't alone in this — many insects, birds, fish and some amphibians and reptiles are also known to have UV-vision. But it was previously thought most mammals didn't. So what do these animals use it for?
According to LiveScience: "Bees and other insects use it to see colors or patterns on plants that can direct them to nectar. Rodents use it to follow urine trails. And reindeer may use ultraviolet light to see polar bears, which, in visible light, blend in with the snow."
Human eyes have a lens that removes the UV light. One researcher guessed it's because humans need to see in detail — it's thought UV light makes images appear blurry. (Via Wikimedia Commons / ROTFLOLEB)
Skiers wear yellow goggles that block UV light for just that reason. (Via: Flickr /Jonas B)
Researchers hope this data will help them better understand why animals act the way they do. (Via: Flickr / matt512)
The study was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Preannounced earnings a few weeks ago should have kept in 115 range but I guess daytraders knocked it down. With earnings on 4-22-13 I guess it should runup to earnings day.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Year end and Q4 earnings will be reported next Friday, 2-22-13. The stock is down 8 bucks in 4 days on above average volume in each of those 4 days. Friday's volume was almost double the norm. All of this is hardly the work of day traders. Stock now below 50 DMA as it failed to get support, triggering even more selling. My guess is that it will take a lot longer than getting to next Friday to turn this ship around. Increasing the dividend by another 50%-100% might do the trick.
I don't think there is anything wrong with how they're performing. I think as soon as they preannounce the profitakers sell off the stock. This stock has 150 written all over it and that can be accomplished with raised guidance next Friday.

Posted on 12/13/2004 5:04:17 PM PST by BJungNan
What will death row be like for Peterson?
A considerable amount of mail flows into my cell from people out there in the world asking what it's really like living day-to-day on San Quentin's Death Row. I'm always tempted to quip, its's a hell f a lot better than dying here. But then I really don't know if that's true -- yet.
I answer every letter even if the writer is rapidly pro-death penalty. It's easy for me to understand their attraction to the concept of killing convicted murderers. In the abstract, the death penalty has an elegant Newtonian -- for every action there is an opposite reaction -- symmetry that easy harmonizes with the Old Testament -- eye for an eye -- overtone which strikes a reassuring resonance within a majority of citizens.
(Excerpt) Read more at gogov.com ...
It is sad. They probably believed him ... in the beginning. The story now is that even his own half brother and sister wouldn't testify for him. It seems that while they were searching for Laci, he was coming on to his half-sister's babysitter! The guy is a sociopath monster.
I agree about Geragos-- media bimboy. Peterson would have done better with a public defender or the first lawyer he hired--McLelland? But, Peterson's family has always enabled his narcissism...
I'm gonna barf...But I may calm myself by googling a picture of the child killer, Richard Allen Davis, just after his conviction for killing Polly Klass, flick everyone off with the bird.
Did anyone note that Scott's parents never referred to Scott as a potential father or excited about being a daddy? Like Laci and the baby were rarely discussed by them.
Very very bad sign.
I'm slowly pro-death penalty.
I'm not pro-death penalty
No kidding. Not to mention the rewarding feeling that another piece of human trash has been removed, never to have the chance to kill again.
The last guy removed thusly in California was in 1996:
William George Bonin The Freeway Killer
William Bonin kidnapped, robbed, raped, tortured, and killed 21 teenaged boys; he was ultimately convicted of 14 murders in two separate trials. In 1972, Bonin was officially declared disabled. The Vietnam veteran claimed to be unable to work, due to severe mental illness. So the government began sending him a monthly check for about $500. Then in 1982, Bonin was tried and convicted of the rape, torture, and murder of 10 young men in Southern California. But the wheels of justice turn slowly, and it wouldn't be until 1996 that Bonin was finally executed.
During those intervening 14 years, the government mistakenly continued to send disability checks after Bonin's multiple homicide conviction. The Social Security Administration mailed a total of $79,424 in assistance to his last known address -- his mother's house in Downey, California. She used the money to pay off her mortgage. None of this came to light before the execution. After the error was discovered, the family agreed to repay the government.
In 1979, Bonin began murdering young male hitchhikers and dumping their bodies around the Southern California freeway system. He had some accomplices, who ultimately informed on him. Bonin's defense attorney was Earl Hanson, who had previously defended John Holmes during the Wonderland murder trial.
On February 23, 1996 William Bonin was the first person California put to death by Lethal Injection. His last meal had included two pepperoni and sausage pizzas, three servings of coffee ice cream, and fifteen cans (5.3 liters) of Coca-Cola. It can safely be assumed that Bonin was either a huge Coke drinker, or he just needed 500mg of caffeine to make the most of his final hours... which he spent watching Jeopardy.
Long and somewhat arduous, baby killers are the bottom of the heap, even on death row.
That makes two of us but we are definatly in the minority here.
We used to have great death-penalty discussions. I always tried to frame the topic - Death Penalty: Should it Hurt? Sometimes I think condemned killers should die the average way they killed their victims.
Interesting read, thousands of words and not word one about the victims. Sociopaths don't get cured. They get smarter, more dangerous and wiser in the ways of preying on the weak but they never get cured.
We load the system in favor of defendants as a way of minimizing the chance for error that would lead to conviction of an innocent party. It's to the point where with all the procedural safeguards that prosecuting a capital murder in Georgia - is so expensive that the cost of such a prosecution can consume a small central or south Georgia county's annual law enforcement budget. The incentive, when one finds a dead body in such a county, is to take it across the county line and make it someone else's problem. There has to be a way to safeguard against conviction of the innocent without making it so expensive.
This jury did the right thing here - and I was impressed in the post trial interview with the three members of the jury who spoke. O.J. was particularly lucky in the dumb jury that sat on his criminal case ("The DNA Evidence? you mean that scientific mumbo-jumbo - oh, we disregarded that!"
It gets to the point where they simply forget about why they're in that situation and focus exclusively on their own misery.
One bad thing about the death penalty is that you not only get executed; you get life imprisonment on top of it!
Anti-death penalty here, too.
I couldn't reconcile it with my faith.
I'm thinking that Bonin wanted to play one last joke on the prison labor that had to...clean the gurney...so to speak.
With any luck:
"...the child killer, Richard Allen Davis,..."
Is this slime dead yet?
"Anti-death penalty here, too.
I couldn't reconcile it with my faith."
That tends to happen with folks whose Bible only has 1 Book - the New Testament. Good idea to read the whole Canon of our Faith. You might find that reconciliation you need.
Too many innocent people have been put to death, too many people convicted and on death row and later found out to be innocent and released. But, I suspect I am preaching to the choir here.
Peterson has no idea what's in store for him.
Calfornia's executed 8 men since Bonin. The last was in January 02. As executions go, California's pretty much in the middle of the states. I think we're like 26th. We do it often enough to say we've got it. Some states claim to have it but haven't executed anyone.
Not simply revenge - Justice. That's what it is. Appropriate. Fair. Just.
But people are saying that this is just the beginning, not the end of it. They conservatively estimate the appeals will cost as much or more than the trial to date, which has cost millions, and that it will stretch out for years. At least it'll give the FOX and CNN and NBC crews some more live stand-ups shots in the tents. Full employment.
You're not Christian?
Onward to the Robert Blake trial. Hopefully he'll be the next murderer to go down.
Then you should be in favor of Peterson's eventual execution. His would be the exception to what you see as some 'rule'. It would show that Justice CAN be done, sometimes; and not to dismiss the legitimate complaint that some went to their execution innocent of the charges. Not the case, here. And you don't sound glad for it, in that way.
What, you don't believe Blake's "Oh, I think I left my gun inside. Oh, here it is! Oh, damn, someone shot my con-artist wife while I was looking for my gun. Oh, well, it couldn't have been me, my gun was here, you all saw that" defense?
he'll be someone's girly girl?
Radio talk show host, Ken Hamblin liked this one.
I strongly agree.
Was that "BIG" John Holmes, who was Earl Hanson's former client?;)
That's the point, I thought.
Pond scum scumming scum off the top of the schlocky parent's retirement fund.
That's what I thought I was agreeing to.
Peterson won't die in my lifetime. Tonight, I heard that he will join over 600 people on California's death row.
Consider how much time and effort it will take to reduce the line to where Peterson is up front.
Perhaps California's death row needs a MOAB.
Oooops! I apologize for misreading your remark. Geeze, how embarrasing! Guess I'm used to hearing the remark, "I strongly disagree" and got a bit crosseyed.
I'm dying to know if he meant "rabidly pro death"
I'm not pro-death penalty
I thought I was strongly pro death until this case. Even though he probably did it I just can't help but ask-how was she murdered and why isn't there more physical evidence linking him to the murder. Maybe the jury saw and heard things that I am not aware of but I really wonder if the death penalty is appropriate here. I would hate to put someone to death if by chance they are innocent. And I really feel for his parents. There has been too much death already. I don't think killing him is going to make things better.
No sweat.
I make errors abundantly daily.
Besides, the appeals process hasn't even begun. Geragos probably has dozens of issues that would get Snotty a new trial. I'm with you, the puke will die of old age. Maybe behind bars, but maybe not. Geragos had a lot of his own personal reputation at stake here, nobody's going to pay him megabuck fees for a guilty verdict and the top of the penalty range.
The Pope is christian and yet he opposes the death penalty. Oliver North is a christian, and he too opposes it.
I get the feeling this girly-man is going to be someone's girl friend in short order. Hopefully he'll do himself in like some of his would have been neighbors have done. I hope he pays and pays for his crime.
I am not for abortion either. (oh, were you talking about executing murderers and granting closure to the survivors?)
"Sure, they failed. But, to squander their life's savings on lawyers for this psychopath they created is just a shame."
How can you blame what Scott did on his parents? Were they there helping him kill Laci and Conner? Were they telling him what to do?

Google has disabled parts of its Wallet service as the company looks to address a high-profile security vulnerability.
The company said it has temporarily disabled the use of prepaid cards on its retail platform as it looks to remedy a security flaw which could allow an attacker to steal the PIN number on Google Wallet systems.
"To address an issue that could have allowed unauthorized use of an existing prepaid card balance if someone recovered a lost phone without a screen lock, tonight we temporarily disabled provisioning of prepaid cards," the company said in a blog post. "We took this step as a precaution until we issue a permanent fix soon."
The announcement follows a report from security researchers at zVelo on possible attack scenarios on Google Wallet. Researchers found that certain pieces of information the mobile handset versions of Google Wallet were left unencrypted.
When accessed, the researchers reported that modified or "rooted" handsets could be accessed by an attacker and key pieces of information could be lifted and then analysed to reveal a user's PIN number.
Additionally, attackers found that the process allows for the PIN to be uncovered without the need for brute force attacks, negating Google's own limits on unsuccessful logins.
While a fix is being developed, zVelo has recommended that users avoid rooting their handsets and enable the "lock screen" and "full disk encryption" features as well as disable USB debugging to limit outside access from potential attackers.
Following the disclosure, the company said that a number of mitigating factors will limit the scope and risk of a potential attack.
First, the Google Wallet platform is still early in its deployment phase and is limited to the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus X handsets.
Additionally, the company noted that the rooting process is not supported by Google and in "most cases" the rooting process will cause the Wallet Software to automatically disable itself.
UPDATE: Google has restored the ability to issue new prepaid cards to Wallet, the company announced Feb. 14. As an added precaution, Google also issued a fix that will prevent existing prepaid cards from being re-provisioned to another user.

Google AMP update: who benefits the most?
