More man-made warming - this time in Alaska
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, December, 11, 2009, (8:27am)
It's the adjustments to the raw data - and almost always upwards - that produces so much of the 20th century warming. So how sound is the science behind those adjustments?
We've earlier marvelled at the amazing adjustments by which the IPCC created this warming in Northern Australia:
From these raw results:
Now climatologist Dr Richard Keen of the University of Colorada wonders how this warming in Alaska was produced by a supplier of IPCC data:
When Keen finds a warming in fact of just this:
Says Keen:
My averages show that the past three decades have shown no warming (since the PDO shift in 1977), and are in fact no warmer than the 1935-1944 decade. This is very different from the IPCC which shows a substantial warming over the past three decades....
One can only guess what "corrections" were applied to the GHCN and IPCC data sets, but I can easily guess their magnitude – about 1 degree. Curiously, the magnitude of the adjustments is about the same as the "global warming" signal of the past century.
I'd be interested if other readers can provide similar comparisons with other parts of the world.
Professor Sinclair Davidson says the Rudd Government is right - Tony Abbott is hundreds of billions out when he says the Government could cost us $400 billion if it caves into the pressure at Copenhagen. Trouble is, the true cost is even more.
Have Your Say
I wonder if they can blame the warming in Alaska on Sarah Palin?

The costs of the ETS and any AGW 'cure' typically only consider direct imposts; they usually don't factor in the costs of the economic decline and GDP shrinkage which will occur; the ALP's own research shows how large that component of the cost of the ETS will be;
"Hot" off the press today.. I particularly like the term "collaboratorive research".
Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability
The Honourable Kate Jones
The United Kingdom's best and brightest climate change scientists will carry out collaborative research in Queensland, Climate Change and Sustainability Minister Kate Jones said in London overnight.
Ms Jones was opening a Flood Risk and Climate Change workshop at Reading University.
She said the establishment of a 'shop front' for Hadley Centre within the KBRB Ecosciences Precinct at Brisbane's Boggo Road in 2011 would be an important outcome of this Fellowship Program.
In addition, the Queensland-UK Climate Science Fellowship program will see Queensland scientists gain and share important data and knowledge with UK.
Hadley Centre Deputy Director Dr Christopher Gordon welcomed the further collaboration and said UK scientists would start travelling to Queensland next year under the program.
"This is an important program between the State Government's Queensland Climate Change Centre of Excellence and the United Kingdom's world renowned Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research," Dr Gordon said.
Ms Jones said the partnership will deliver better informed climate change policy for Queensland.
"We've had a formal relationship with the Hadley Centre for the past few years with the first collaborative project involving historical climate data and global climate models," she said.
"The Fellowship program will enhance Queensland's international profile and reputation in the translation of climate change data to inform policy.

Kate Jones… Phil Jones… any relation?
excellent… we can look forward to running commentary on the disappearing Barrier Reef by the slimategate fraudsters along with multiple photo ops leading up to the next election.
A look at Perth airport Annual Mean Temperature Anomaly graph shows a steady warming from 1910 but the met office did not move to the airport till 1944 so were did the data come from for the period 1910-1944.
The Anomaly graphs seem to all have about the same slope.
In fact it seems you could feed it the dimensions to playmate of the month and it would spit out a warming trend.But in that case it would be genuine.

Fri 11 Dec 09 (07:01pm)
I could well be wrong (usually am), but I thought the "old" observatory where the temperature readings were taken from was in West Perth, up on the hill off Parliament Place, near Kings Park—a treed, green environment that catches the "Fremantle Doctor" in summer. Not a bloody great heat sink of wasteland like Perth Airport, which is too far inland for a sea breeze.
Sat 12 Dec 09 (07:13am)
Data may have come from the Perth Regional Office (9034) which started in 1876 and closed in 1992 but you would need to check the temps against the anomaly map
Comparing like years show that the airport temps are generally higher than the Reg Office (eg 1945 23.6C as compared to 24.4C).
The Reg Office max average temp was lower at 23.3C (1876-1992) compared with the airport max av temp of 24.4C (1944-2009). There is only a 4m difference in elevation between the two.
Hope this helps.
The questions raised regarding the Darwin temperature adjustments are a perfect chance for the Australian BOM to strut its stuff, and put out a paper oulining and explaining these adjustments. They can easily show that this skeptic's issue is unfounded; can't they?
It is also a great chance for KRudd and Wong to demonstrate the basic science is sound, and undermine the opposition. It is so easy, if their science advisors are right!
My bet.....the climate change cabal will stop any public review.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (01:25pm)
Fri 11 Dec 09 (04:56pm)
Yeah. I was told by a friend that the Iranian Bureau of Meteorology and Ian Plimer made an documentary about the climate change hoax but then they wouldn't show it because The Age stopped them from revealing that climate change isn't real.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:46pm)
so...you idiot
$billions spent on junk science
millions in Oz/world cry for help..
pensioners/homeless/the hungry/dispossed/etc
and you make a smart arse comment like that?
you think this scam is funny?
I've nearly finished getting the entire City Of Melbourne temperature record into Excel & will mail you a copy once it's done (probably whilst you are on leave)
From what I've noticed, the average annual maximum temperature has risen by between 1 & 1.5C in just over 150 years; the Average Minimum by about 2C.
By the time you take the UHI component out, I reckon it would be near enough to zero.
Might be time to find out what the IPCC reckon the real "climate change" in Melbourne is so we can compare it to the raw data!

Jeff,cCan you upload the file somewhere? I've done a similar study of Melbourne, you can download it here.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:44pm)
Jeff are there any figures on the number of vehicles and inhabitants in Melbourne over the same period? Be interesting to compare that.
I mean if the population and the no of vehicles had increased 100 fold for instance you would expect some highly noticable temperature rises. I bet there isn't very much. UHI or no UHI
Here is a great article where you can see the temperature trends in Greenland, before someone hid the decline.

Yet more distortions. Anyone else see Gore on CNN? What a shocker. No admission the Arctic ice caps have been growing over recent years, or that it's been cooling slightly. He keeps harping on about "a decade ago". The interviewers did catch him out on that but overall, they were waaaay too soft.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (04:07pm)
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:08pm)
Yep Saw him on here today… before he was just chucking Red Herrings no he is just out and out lying.
And not one of the "Journo's" even attempted to catch him in a lie… disgraceful stuff!!
Fri 11 Dec 09 (06:12pm)
Profit Gore handled himself most eloquently and perspicaciously in the CNN interview to which you refer.
Hasn't he lost a lot of weight?
Doesn't he seem more cheerful, and more "folksy"?
I cannot believe that you continue to attack the man, rather than the message.
Just because he had a minor memory lapse relating to the temperature of the Earth's mantle, or the dates of some nonsensical e-mails in some remote university in East Anglia (wherever that may be), you expect our Profit to be all-seeing, all-knowing!
How would you like two or three zeroes taken off your currency?
That's what you are trying to do to Mr Gore.......
His "currency" is the AGW taxes and exchange trading of "permits". The poor man has put his entire life's savings behind the outcome.
You just sit in the bleachers, throwing metaphorical tomatoes.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (06:52pm)
Gore is the ultimate dissembler or else he's just plain ignorant/stupid.
Gore says CO2 absorbs IR radiation which causes warming. Yes it does.
What he neglects to say is that the capacity for CO2 to absorbed IR is limited - it's capacity to warm is very limited.
CO2 only absorbs IR radiation in a very narrow range of wavelengths. This range is absorbed in the first 200ppm of CO2 concentration after which the remaining CO2 absorbs next to no IR radiation and has little affect on warming. Increasing CO2 beyond 200ppm does not increase warming to any degree let alone catastrophically.
Here's one reference on this:
Howard C. Hayden " A Primer on CO2 and Climate" pp 54-59.
Check it out.
Get some real science for a change.
Gore's a creep and a charltan.
A very good read at Steve McIntyres site chronologically linking the IPCC to Briffas "hide the decline."
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:02pm)
About the only things getting warmer and warmer on Planet Earth right now are the snakeoil salesmen and hypocritical fraudsters who see their nice little AGW money earner flushing down the gurgler.
AGW spruikers have more front than Dolly Parton, but increasongly less support.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:10pm)
Hi Andrew,
I was just wondering about page 99 of Ian Plimer's book Heaven & Earth. On that page he claims:
NASA now states that […] the warmest year was 1934.
But if you look at the reference, NASA was only referring to the average temperature of the United States. Do you know why Professor Plimer said that this data referred to the average temperature of the entire Earth?
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:26pm)
I noticed from an eyeball observation of the 2 Alaskan graphs that there is a lowering, or a negative datum shift, of the data pre 1920. Could this be one of those tricks referred to in the Climategate emails?
Fri 11 Dec 09 (05:49pm)
Hi Andrew,
I'm just wondering if you will explain for everyone here how and why the data needs to be homogenised? You know, explain to the people that most weather stations are in populated areas, and that there are many areas that don't have any weather stations at all.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (06:05pm)
Fri 11 Dec 09 (10:02pm)
It almost seems from your many many many many many many comments here that you have a vested interest in this subject.
I call "Big Green" astroturf.
This article albeit from a year or so ago, seems to show that Dr.Keens science is dubious at best - so perhaps shouldnt be taken too seriously.
Fri 11 Dec 09 (06:15pm)
I can;t remember where I read this today, I'm sure I saw it on of your posts today Andrew, Kevin Rudd saying "Australia's national broadband network would reduce our emissions by 5%. If that is so, wasn't the ETS meant to reduce our emissions by the same amount, meaning, why not just build the Broadband Network, that would be cheaper than the ETS ever would have been, and it would have gotten the same desired result that he was after, saving the Earth from frying to hell!
Also, in today's Herald-Sun I noticed a small article, saying we should chop down a real Christmas Tree cos the plastic ones produce more emissions, but wouldn't that have an opposite effect, chopping down a tree, which absorbs CO2 and thus reducing CO2 levels (Not that I believe in the whole CO2=bad like the EPA in america)
Fri 11 Dec 09 (06:44pm)
The true graph broadly shows how the temperature has been here in Darwin over the last 30+ years that I have lived here - up and down.
One thing that seems to have returned are some of the more spectacular lightning shows that I had previously witnessed back in the early 1980,s.
The climate/weather is always changing. Well that has been my experience here in Darwin since 1978.
Last night we had a fantastic elctrical storm that took the power out for most of Darwin.
Memories of my earlier life here came flooding back. How sweet it was.
Thank "heavens" the climate is changing and will continue to do so - all by itself!

This link takes you to a page showing temperature over the last 50,000 years. The data is assembled from ice core samples ie; "Records of past temperature, precipitation, atmospheric trace gases, and other aspects of climate and environment derived from ice cores drilled on glaciers and ice caps around the world"
Hockey stick observer in NOAA ice core data?
It display recent decades, centuries, millennia. Hysteria of AGW & CO2 emmisions wont seem that intimedating.
An exceptionally well written article by Prof. Will Alexander at Roger Pielke snr website here.
From there, there's also a link to UNESCO/ICSU Declaration on science and the use of scientific knowledge (1999).
A cool smiley face prize to bloggers who find the UNESCO statements that best relate to the current Climategate sorry saga.
Prof. Alexanders piece needs to be highlighted.

Nobel Laureate Al Gore Wednesday called former Alaska governor Sarah Palin a "global warming denier."
Speaking with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, Gore also repeated his false claim about ClimateGate e-mail messages obtained from Britain's Climatic Research Unit: "the most recent one is like ten years ago."
As Andrew Bolt reported Wednesday at Australia's Herald Sun, the most recent e-mail message obtained from CRU was sent less than a month ago on November 12.
And the lady responds with a beauty....
"Vice President Gore, the Climategate scandal exists. You might even say that it's sort of like gravity: you simply can't deny it".

Look no further than the "harry read me "file they left out more than one station in fact they say the data is no good from any of the stations ,but they just add in another station or make it up ,or in this case leave out hundreds . its a crock alright ,even the progam they are using doesnt work properly .its just one big balls up.now the fraudsters are trying to make false data a normal thing ,sorry dudes your number is up ,your busted and you will never get trust again ,greed got the better of you and say hello to shell who has been supporting you as it states in your own words,no mistake there,you hypocrits.

Fellow bloggers I didn't really want to share this but I'm not a censor.
Make up your own mind....
OPT: Save the Planet by Preventing African Births [Brendan O'Neill]
At my old Catholic school, religious do-gooders used to ask us for a penny to "sponsor a black baby." Now eco-do-gooders want our pennies to prevent black babies from being born.
Rushing to the front of the race for the prize of Most Vomit-Inducing Environmental Initiative Ever Devised, the UK's Optimum Population Trust — which counts such grandees as David Attenborough and Jonathon Porritt among its supporters — has just launched PopOffsets. This quirkily named campaign is actually deeply sinister: It invites well-off Westerners to offset their carbon emissions by paying for poor people in the Third World to stop procreating.
In short, if you feel bad about your CO2-emitting jaunt to Barbados, or the new Ferrari you just splurged on, then simply give some money to a charity which helps to "convince" Third World women not to have children, and — presto! — the carbon saved by having one less black child in the world will put your guilt-ridden mind at rest.
Sat 12 Dec 09 (03:32am)
After the popoffsets I need a lighthearted one and hit the sack...so here goes, from the Don Surber blog at the Daily Mail.
Why they fell for the global warming hoax
They called us Global Warming Holocaust Deniers — sneered at us, snarked at us, and snubbed us.
None of them bothered to read "The Emperor's New Clothes."
I have no time for paybacks or saying I told you so.
But pay attention to why they fell for this billion-dollar hoax which almost became a trillion-dollar tragedy.
1. The pseudo-intellectuals fell for it because none of them ever cracked a science book.
2. The policy wonks fell for it because it gave the government more control.
3. The bleeding hearts fell for it because they always want to save the Earth.
4. The communists fell for it because it portrayed capitalists as destroying the Earth to make money.
5. The capitalists fell for it because they saw a new way to make money.
6. The Hollywood crowd fell for it because it made their pampered lives seem to have a meaning and purpose.
7. The newspapers fell for it because it was new.
8. The teachers fell for it because it was a new thing to teach the children to teach their parents.
9. The children fell for it because they wanted to show how well they are doing in school.
10. The parents fell for it because they wanted their children were doing so well in school and they wanted to be supportive.
11. The utility companies fell or it because they can raise rates.
12. The Nobel Peace Prize committee fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000.
13. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000.
14. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammys) fell for it because Al Gore should have won in 2000.
15. The 30,000 scientists fell for it because while it was not in their field of study, they wanted to be supportive of science.
The only people who didn't fall for it were we mouth-breathing, Bible-thumping, beer-guzzling, cousin-humping, baby-bumping, overfed, inbred, illiterate, gun-clinging, buck-toothed, trailer-park-living, truck-driving, ATV riding, Wal-mart shopping, knuckle-dragging, military-supporting, ain't-recycling, patriotic, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, racist hillbillies with cooties.
and on that note, gnite

I didn't find a solution for my problem: I wanted my new blog to be protected against robots and I want it accessable. Therefore I created a small hack to have own captchas and combined it with some quiz like 'find the missplaced word' in a line like 'Istambul Paris London Coffee Rio'.
The captchas are created with imagemagick. And I think they are secure enough, even if I didn't work with backgrounds. There are at the moment 3 fonts in use. I don't use mysql for it, I just check the filemtime($filename); and delete the captcha after a successfull post.
The Quiz part has at the moment 20 lines with each 5 to 10 words, it's easy to extend it.
It works so far but it is not advanced enough to publish it as a plugin for wordpress.
My question is: Is the idea good enough to spend more time to write proper code?
I use the code in my new german blog at garps.com. A test is availible at garps.com/bam.php

Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God's love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ!
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You! :)

Pinterest Acquires Instapaper (theverge.com) 12
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Instapaper, a pioneering app for saving articles to read later, has been acquired -- again. The app, which was created by developer Marco Arment and sold to Betaworks in 2013, has found a new home at Pinterest. The goal is "to accelerate discovering and saving articles on Pinterest," the company said in a statement. It will continue to operate as a standalone app, and the Instapaper team will work on both that app and on Pinterest generally. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. As a visual search engine, Pinterest isn't often thought of as a place to bookmark written content. But in 2013 the company introduced article pins, a format that creates rich bookmarks complete with a photo and a preview of the text. The acquisition of Instapaper suggests the company believes there is more to be done there -- although it's not certain how valuable that will be for Pinterest. Instapaper can be used for free or in a $30-a-year premium version; the company has never said how many subscribers it has.

In the United States today, whether you can take a few paid sick days or a few weeks of paid family or medical leave, and whether your employer must make reasonable accommodations that allow you to continue working through your pregnancy, all depend on where you work.
Last week, through a leaked internal poll, we gained even more evidence that business support for paid family and medical leave is strong.
When you spend most of your days walking the halls of Congress advocating for policies you truly believe in, you quickly learn that some days are special.
23 years. During that time, you can raise and put a child through college. Transform HIV/AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease. Move the country from "don't ask, don't tell" to marriage equality for all.
Two years after the FAMILY Act was first introduced, paid leave is on the horizon in the United States.
Exactly one week ago, the D.C. City Council held its first hearing on the Universal Paid Leave Act of 2015, a proposal that would create a much-needed paid family and medical leave insurance program that would make paid leave accessible to virtually every worker in the District.
Why do we, as a nation, make it so difficult for our children to thrive? How can we do better? These are the important questions asked in a powerful new film.
National Boss Day is a reminder that, for millions of Americans, having a family friendly workplace is like winning the lottery.
New state and local paid leave grants and a unique coalition of companies committed to advancing paid leave are helping pave the way for the national program the country needs.
This morning in Boston, President Obama will announce much-needed actions that will make our nation more family friendly.
This Women's Equality Day, in light of all the recent attention to paid leave, let's remind Congress that the fight for equal rights for women is far from over.
Once you're done showing your love and appreciation for the fathers in your life, take a minute to ask the dads who represent you in Congress to co-sponsor the FAMILY Act.
Navigating the workplace — not to mention workplace politics — can be a challenge for pregnant employees.
The announcement that White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez will soon kick off a historic 'Lead On Leave' tour is exciting news that comes amidst strong, widespread demand and support for paid leave.
The holiday season is a time for focusing on family and loved ones. And no legislation would do more to make this nation family friendly than the FAMILY Act.
It's November, a month many associate with Thanksgiving and celebrating the things we're grateful for. But November is also National Family Caregivers Month.
In recognition of National Family Caregivers Month in November, the broad-based coalition of organizations pushing for the Family And Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act are rallying online...
As the month draws to a close, there are clear signs of progress and frustrating reminders that vigilance remains essential.
Twenty-one years ago today, the nation's first – and only – federal law designed to help people manage the dual demands of work and family took effect.
On Monday, hundreds of lawmakers, businesses, workers, advocates, administration officials and President Obama will gather for a historic White House Summit on Working Families in Washington, D.C.

Agent Participation in NDC Development
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has been engaging the travel agent community in the development of the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard.
This engagement has been done directly with agents, as well as with agent associations. The aim is to better understand travel agent concerns, and to raise awareness of the NDC initiative.
Expedia, which is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), attended the July NDC workshop at IATA in Geneva.
IATA had attended ASTA's Travel Retailing and Destination Expo in September and presented about NDC.
IATA invited the European Travel Agents' and Tour Operators' Association (ECTAA) to an NDC meeting in September in Geneva.
The Guild of European Business Travel (GEBTA) invited IATA to its Board meeting for an NDC presentation in October in Brussels.
IATA gave a presentation on NDC to the Agency Solutions Technical Working Group (ASTWG) met in September. ASTWG includes airlines, agents and systems providers. ECTAA was present at the meeting.
IATA gave an update on NDC at the Passenger Agency Program Global Joint Council (PAPGJC) in Abu Dhabi in October. The World Travel Agents Associations Alliance (WTAAA), the United Federation of Travel Agents' Associations (UFTAA), ECTAA and GEBTA were present at the PAPGJC meeting.
The development of the NDC standards involves participation of the travel agents directly instead of through their agent associations.
The expertise needed for the standard development is often found with the travel agent and not the agent associations.
In fact, ECTAA has proposed that two of their member agents attend the next NDC workshop in Montreal in November. IATA accepted and invited them. These two agents are now actively participating in the Working Group.
IATA encourages and welcomes travel agents to participate in the NDC working group and contribute to the development of NDC standards.

Can anyone please tell me why this is happening and how do I oversome this so that I don't have to repeatedly login?

text: A question that comes up a fair bit on literature forums is: "How many books has Author X sold?". Compared to TV, where audience figures are easily available, and movies, where box office figures are even more easily retrieved, book sales figures are virtually impossible to calculate for an interested member of the public. The advent of the BookScan system in the USA has made this slightly easier, but the system is relatively new (introduced in 2001), it doesn't pick up every sale (according to Nielsen it tracks about 70% of sales) and only works in the USA (whilst more than half of the sales of titles take place outside that market). The New York Times and the UK Times offer their own figures, but refuse to disclose how those figures are reached. Publishers generally don't publish figures at all unless the book gets picked up for a movie option, or if the sales reach phenomenal levels. And of course often when figures are given they are for 'books in print' (i.e., the total number of copies of a book that exist, including those sitting unsold on bookshelves) rather than for books actually put through the till. Add to this the recent upswing in pirating books online, and the number of books where illegal or untracked editions have been printed in nations with a relaxed attitude to copyright, and you can see the difficulties faced in assembling any kind of all-time bestseller list. For that reason, the following list should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Lake Michigan (the source for most of the figures is Wikipedia, unless otherwise noted): 1) J.K Rowling (350 million) The Harry Potter series has been a phenomenon the likes of which publishing has never seen. In less than a decade, Rowling went from an impoverished single mother writing in an Edinburgh cafe to one of the richest women in the world, overtaking dozens of writers who had been working for decades in the process. 2) Stephen King (350 million) In The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1996), it was stated that Stephen King's total worldwide sales in all languages are probably incalculable, and the figure given above is on the conservative side of things. I've seen some figures suggesting he has sold twice this amount, but the 350m figure seems to crop up most often. Some may argue that Horror isn't necessarily part of the SF&F genre either and King shouldn't be counted, but most of his horror features supernatural forces, which firmly places it as a subset of Fantasy. Also, no-one would really argue that Eyes of the Dragon and the Dark Tower series aren't fantasy, and both of these works are set in the same multiverse as most (or, as some fans argue, all) of his other books, which puts him firmly in the Fantasy genre. 3) JRR Tolkien (c. 300 million) Tolkien's sales really are incalculable, given how widely his books have been copied, published without permission and distributed worldwide in the last fifty years. However, it is pretty clear that by itself The Lord of the Rings is the biggest-selling single genre novel of all time, and possibly the biggest-selling single novel full stop of all time. 50 million copies of the novel have been sold this century alone. When you factor in the massive sales of The Hobbit, and the smaller but still significant sales of The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and The Children of Hurin, plus his non-Middle-earth work, Tolkien is clearly a major force in SF&F publishing, arguably all the more notable as his output was small compared to some others on this list. 4) CS Lewis (120 million) It is perhaps fitting that Tolkien's one-time best friend and sometimes collaborator should be next on the list. The 120 million sales is allegedly for his Chronicles of Narnia series by itself, and doesn't include his numerous non-fiction books or his other novels, such as his Space Trilogy. 5) Anne Rice (100 million) A surprisingly high number from an author who hasn't produced a truly noteworthy book in some time. 6) Terry Pratchett (55 million) Up until Rowling overtook him around the turn of the century Pratchett was a bona-fide phenomenon, publishing at least two novels a year for almost twenty years and being responsible for the sales of over 1% of all books sold in the UK and his books hitting the top of the Times bestseller lists like clockwork. Major success in the USA had eluded him until The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents won the Carnegie Prize in 2001. Following on from that, his US profile steadily rose until his books began hitting the NYT bestseller list as well. Aside from the occasional bit of mickey-taking, Pratchett was good-natured about losing out on his position as Fantasy's biggest-selling living author (with the King debate still going on) to Rowling, although his ire was provoked when some Potter fans complained that Equal Rites (1987) ripped off Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997), demonstrating a flexible interpretation of causality. Whilst Pratchett has now been firmly overtaken by Rowling, he bore it with equanimity and proudly maintains his position as the UK's most shoplifted author. 7) Robert Jordan (44 million) Given how it dominates the discussion on some forums, this would seem to be a fairly lowly position for the biggest-selling of the modern epic fantasists. However, by any standards this is a seriously impressive number of books sold, especially given that the sales are split between a relatively small number of books (I suspect his Conan and Fallon novels' sales are all but negligible compared to those of The Wheel of Time sequence). 8) Terry Goodkind (25 million) Pinning down concrete figures for Goodkind is harder than most due to some truly batty figures being circulated by his fanbase (at one time claiming he was Tor's biggest-selling author but failing to account for why only half as many copies of his latest book had been printed than Robert Jordan's). The worldwide figure of 25 million seems to be well-supported, however. 9) Terry Brooks (21 million) Recently, with the announcement that movie versions of The Elfstones of Shannara and The Sword of Shannara are in development, it was suggested by some papers that Brooks was the 'second-biggest-selling living fantasy author', which would appear to be hyperbolic. An interview with JIVE Magazine reveals them to be rather more modest, although still extremely impressive. His books have sold very well for more than thirty-one years and Brooks, along with Donaldson, arguably kick-started the entire modern epic fantasy subgenre and has been one of its most reliable and visible writers ever since. 10) Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman (c. 20 million) This one was a bit of a guesstimate, coming out of discussions over these two authors' success on a message board several years ago. The figure is certainly highly plausible, with TSR claiming that more than 4 million copies of their Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies by themselves had been shipped in less than a decade, and this doesn't account for their gaming products, other Dragonlance books and numerous non-Dragonlance novels, many of which have been bestsellers as well. 11) Frank Herbert (18 million) If there's one thing this list has proven, if you want to be a massive-selling author you're far better writing Fantasy than Science Fiction, unless your SF novel features a ton of Fantasy elements. Frank Herbert's Dune is SF's biggest-selling single novel, with more than 12 million copies by itself sold. I'd also make a fair guess that the other 6 million sales are comprised almost entirely of his other five Dune novels. 12) Eoin Colfer (18 million) The author of the Artemis Fowl series, which has proven a massive hit amongst YA circles. Colfer was recently picked to write the sixth Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel, following on from the works of... 13) Douglas Adams (16 million) ...whose exceptionally long periods of writer's block and multiple years spent writing very slim novels, not to mention a poor film adaption of his signature novel, haven't affected his immense popularity. 14) Kevin J. Anderson (16 million) Whilst his Dune novels co-authored with Brian Herbert may have been critically mauled, that hasn't stopped them selling like hot cakes. When combined with his popular Star Wars and X-Files novels, not to mention original works like the Saga of Seven Suns series, Anderson clearly doesn't have anything to worry about. 15) Raymond E. Feist (15 million) The author of the extremely long-running Riftwar Cycle of novels, which when complete will comprise approximately thirty books. Mixed reviews for his books published over the last decade or so do not seem to have influenced his legions of loyal fans. 16) Christopher Paolini (12 million) His Eragon Trilogy (now in four parts) may have been ripped into by the critics with a vengeance, but his popularity is clear. In fact, his sales are all the more impressive considering they are largely based on just two books, with his third only released in the last few weeks. 17) Stephen Donaldson (10 million) Possibly a surprisingly low showing for Donaldson. His Lord Foul's Bane, published in 1977, kick-started the modern epic fantasy explosion alongside Brooks' Sword of Shannara. However, unlike Brooks who has continued to work in the Shannara universe ever since, Donaldson spent a whole decade trying to stay away from his signature character with works such as Mordant's Need and the superlative Gap series before recently returning to the series, and the bestseller lists, with The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. 8) Laurell K. Hamilton (6 million) Sex sells, obviously, especially when combined with werewolves and vampires. 19) George RR Martin (c. 3-4 million) Again, another guesstimate based on discussions from various forums and the recent revelation that the Song of Ice and Fire series has sold 2.2 million copies (at least in the USA). GRRM is one of the highest-profile authors in the genre and A Dance with Dragons must be one of the most-discussed unreleased books in genre history. Much to the discontent of those who'd prefer he spent his time on Song of Ice and Fire and nothing else, his recent Wild Cards books have been strong sellers for Tor, and his Dreamsongs retrospective was a significant success as well. I suspect this figure is leaning to the conservative side of things, especially given how big Wild Cards was back in the 1980s. 20) Neil Gaiman (2 million) If GRRM's figure is conservative, this is even moreso, and based solely on the figures I could find for sales of the Sandman graphic novels. Add in his other, highly successful novels and his real sales and position should be much higher. 21) Peter F. Hamilton (2 million) The modern lord of space opera has shifted an impressive number of his brick-thick novels and with his US profile now growing rapidly, I suspect he's going to get even bigger in the years to come. 22) John Ringo (2 million) The mildly controversial US author ("Oh John Ringo No,") of military science fiction is clearly enjoying the fruits of his success. People may be wondering where his sometimes-collaborator David Weber is, so I direct them to the 'Unplaced' list below'. 23) Robin Hobb (1 million) A surprisingly low placing for one of fantasy's highest-profile and most prolific authors? Possibly. This was the figure given by HarperCollins Voyager in 2003 on the completion of her Tawny Man trilogy and applies solely to the nine books published under the Robin Hobb pseudonym in the UK up to that point. They do not include her earlier Megan Lindholm books, nor her later books, nor most importantly her US sales, all of which would likely make her position much higher. 24) David Gemmell (1 million) Considering how many books he wrote (over 30), this figure may seem a little low. However, Gemmell never entirely cracked the American market, despite being a massive seller in the UK. 25) Steven Erikson (c. 500,000) This may be even more of a surprise. The original source for the figure was Bantam UK, who announced shifting 250,000 copies of the Malazan Book of the Fallen in the UK in 2006, upon the publication of The Bonehunters. Given another two books have come out since then, and taking into account his Canadian and American sales, a doubling of that figure seems reasonable, although I suspect the true figure would be slightly less than this. Unplaced There's obviously a huge number of authors I couldn't find reliable figures for, many of whom would be fairly highly-placed on the list. I'll see if I can't track these down in the future and keep the list updated: Isaac Asimov R. Scott Bakker Iain M. Banks Clive Barker Frank L. Baum Jim Butcher Orson Scott Card Arthur C. Clarke David Eddings Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) Robert Heinlein JV Jones Guy Gavriel Kay Richard Morgan Philip Pullman Alastair Reynolds RA Salvatore Darren Shan Neal Stephenson David Weber

I don't understand how some people make it into college.
Over a year ago
We were talking about animal rights in English class the other day. I'm not the type to shove my beliefs down other's throats, but it did turn into a debate between the class and the teacher and I. I actually enjoyed the debate. Shutting down everyone's arguments was a cakewalk actually. However, one kid actually really bothered me.
Kid: we need meat to live.
Teacher: no we don't. Look at Chelsea, she hasn't eaten meat in five years.
Kid: But she needs to to live.
I flipped. Last time I checked, I was still alive and healthy.
Anyway, after shutting him down a few times, he resorted to the whole "vegetable rights" argument.
Him: What about vegetable rights?
Me: They don't have a nervous system, they don't have a brain.
Teacher: They can't think.
Kid: How do you know that?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BRAIN. I honestly couldn't understand how this guy could be so stupid.
Anyway, it ended with quite a few people saying I had good arguments. I doubt any of them will stop eating meat, but it was nice to know I got my point across.
I haven't posted on the PETA2 boards in years, so I figured this was a very relevant way to say hi too.

"The second inanity of meat-eaters is attempting to indict the vegan lifestyle by claiming that plants suffer and die to feed the vegans of the world. Yet, I am still searching for People for the Ethical Treatment of Carrots, Last Chance for Broccoli or Apples Deserve Absolute Protection Today and Tomorrow. People for the Ethical Treatment of Carrots doesn't exist because everyone knows the difference between taking a carrot out of the ground and slicing a pig into pieces. Everyone also knows the difference between mowing a lawn and tossing a live baby male chick (egg industry) into a rendering machine. If one does not understand the difference, then that person is disingenuous, irrational and illogical. The fact that some people compare carrots to cows proves how muck-deep in oppressive thought meat-eaters truly are."

The Gulag--a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners--was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"GULAG is a monumental achievement, a masterpiece of Soviet history, indeed, one of the great historical epics of our time. With intense moral clarity, Anne Applebaum exposes not only the full horror of these slave labor camps -- Russia's legacy of state-sponsored genocide -- but the equally shocking, global amnesia towards the millions who died in them."
-Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II
"Combining meticulous research with myriad accounts of survivors, Gulag: A History illuminates a shadowed world in which millions perished under unspeakable conditions. Any who question why we fought the Cold War will find an answer."
-Henry A. Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State
"As the 20th century recedes into history, with all its hideous crimes and high ideals, wars and trials, lies and revelations, we still have an uneasy feeling of some unfulfilled duty left back there, like an unpaid debt or a dead body we did not commit to the ground. This ghost's name is Gulag - and this book, a comprehensive study of a subject most people try to forget, is a first attempt at exorcism."
-Vladimir Bukovsky, former Soviet dissident
"An important and necessary book."
-Jung Chang, author of Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China
"A monumental work that will long stand as a memorial of the countless victims of the Gulag, and also to the shame of the many erstwhile Gulag deniers."
-Zbigniew Brzezinski, Former National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter
"Anne Applebaum's work is very human, very readable, both rich in detail and highly impressive as an overview of the huge and dreadful GULAG phenomenon. The astonishing story comes alive in a new way, deep feeling combining with deep understanding."
-Robert Conquest, author of Stalin and The Great Terror
"Anne Applebaum's Gulag is the first up-to-date scholarly study of the central terror institution of the Soviet regime. It is distinguished not only by thorough research in the sources, many of them previously unknown, but by its humane treatment of the victims of this utterly inhuman institution."
-Richard Pipes, Professor of History Emeritus, Harvard University
"Anne Applebaum's Gulag is an important book. Her many years of scrupulous research have provided a wealth of fascinating detail to create a terrifying and unforgettable story."
-Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad
Anne Applebaum is a columnist and member of the editorial board of the Washington Post.

It is fervently to be hoped that people will read Anne Applebaum's excellent, tautly written, and very damning history." The New York Times Book Review "The most authoritativeand comprehensiveaccount of this Soviet blight ever published by a Western writer." Newsweek "A titanic achievement: learned and moving and profound. . . . No reader will easily forget Applebaum's vivid accounts of the horrible human suffering of the Gulag." National Review "A tragic testimony to how evil ideologically inspired dictatorships can be." The New York Times "Lucid, painstakingly detailed, never sensational, it should have a place on every educated reader's shelves." Los Angeles Times "Magisterial. . . . Certain to remain the definitive account of its subject for years to come. . . . An immense achievement." The New Criterion "An excellent account of the rise and fall of the Soviet labor camps between 1917 and 1986. . . . A splendid book." The New York Review of Books "Should become the standard history of one of the greatest evils of the 20th century." The Economist "Thorough, engrossing . . . A searing attack on the corruption and the viciousness that seemed to rule the system and a testimonial to the resilience of the Russian people. . . . Her research is impeccable." San Francisco Chronicle "An affecting book that enables us at last to see the Gulag whole. . . . A valuable and necessary book." The Wall Street Journal "Ambitious and well-documented . . . Invaluable . . . Applebaum methodically, and unflinchingly, provides a sense of what it was like to enter and inhabit the netherworld of the Gulag." The New Yorker "[Applebaum's] writing is powerful and incisive, but it achieves this effect through simplicity and restraint rather than stylistic flourish. . . . [An] admirable and courageous book." The Washington Monthly "Monumental . . . Applebaum uses her own formidable reporting skills to construct a gripping narrative." Newsday "Valuable. There is nothing like it in Russian, or in any other language. It deserves to be widely read." Financial Times "A book whose importance is impossible to exaggerate. . . . Magisterial . . . Applebaum's book, written with such quiet elegance and moral seriousness, is a major contribution to curing the amnesia that curiously seems to have affected broader public perceptions of one of the two or three major enormities of the twentieth century." Times Literary Supplement "A truly impressive achievement . . . We should all be grateful to [Applebaum]." The Sunday Times (London) "A chronicle of ghastly human suffering, a history of one of the greatest abuses of power in the story of our species, and a cautionary tale of towering moral significance . . . A magisterial work, written in an unflinching style that moves as much as it shocks, and that glistens with the teeming life and stinking putrefaction of doomed men and rotten ideals." The Daily Telegraph (London) "No Western author until Anne Applebaum attempted to produce a history of the Gulag based on the combination of eyewitness accounts and archival records. The result is an impressively thorough and detailed study; no aspect of this topic escapes her attention. Well written, accessible.enlightening for both the general reader and specialists." The New York Sun "For the raw human experience of the camps, read Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich or Irina Ratushinskaya's Grey is the Color of Hope . For the scope, context, and the terrible extent of the criminality, read this history." Chicago Tribune. Bookseller Inventory # ABE_book_new_1400034094

Herbs are so good
Very helpful and concise guide, thank you! I'm a huge fan of natural remedies for anxiety, and herbs are a wonderful help against anxiety.
Natural remedies are essential when treating stress and anxiety, especially when home remedies and herbal remedies can provide calming help. Here is a list of tips for natural anxiety relief.
First calm thyself. If gardening or another relaxing activity doesn't calm your nerves and make you sleep well, you'll have to try some of these other tips on herbs for anxiety and anxiety remedies. If gardening does help, you can grow some of these herbs (try our Herb Growing Guide) so that you can beat your anxiety in two ways.
Insomnia can often be caused by stress or anxiety, or insomnia can lead to anxiety. For this reason, we include some natural remedies for insomnia here as well. If these don't help, try these tips for insomnia and sleep deprivation.

Andre Ward Gives His Opinion on Gennady Golovkin
By Robert Morales
Yes, that was super middleweight champion Andre Ward who was aguest commentator on last Saturday's HBO telecast from Madison Square Garden. Ward, who is recovering from right-shoulder surgery, was on hand at Wednesday's news conference as he and Arreola are Goossen Tutor Promotions stablemates.
Ward was asked what he thought about WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, who defended his belts with a seventh-round TKO of Gabriel Rosado.
"Golovkin is a strong kid," Ward said. "Physically, he looks like he hits pretty hard, he's got some heavy hands. He looks like he's getting a push from media and fans. I think he's got potential, but I think he's got work to do. He's gotta beat some upper-echelon guys.
"Right now it doesn't look like those guys want to fight him, so it's not his fault. But I definitely feel like that could be a big fight (between he and Golovkin) down the road."
Golovkin and his trainer, Abel Sanchez, have said they will take on anyone from junior middleweight to super middleweight.
Golovkin's management may talk big but they had better keep him away from Ward. Bad style match up. Ward would tear him to shreds. Golovkin is not a bigger version of Kostya Tzu, another solid puncher who could handle slick…Comment by Pan-Africanist on 01-24-2013

I don't know if 3G is that good either...you can tell he will have trouble with slick boxers like Ward. I think it would be a good fight tho...cuz Ward likes to bang but Golovkin needs to work on defense...Post a Comment - View More User Comments (42)

Billings Farm features Estonian filmDecember 29,2012WOODSTOCK The Billings Farm and Museum will show the 2009 documentary Disco and the Atomic War today at 3 p.m.
The documentary takes place in Soviet-occupied Estonia where the Soviet Union waged an information war against Western pop culture and lost. The film shows how Finnish television influenced Estonians even when the Soviet authorities blocked it.
Estonians did not care about Vladimir Ilyich Lenin or Karl Marx. Instead, Estonians wanted to know who shot J.R. Ewing from the hit TV series Dallas and the latest disco moves.
The movie is subtitled in English and runs 80 minutes. For tickets, call 457-2355 or visit www.billingsfarm.org/filmfest.

I need help with my Ever After theme. I managed to remove the page title from all pages because I didn't want to use it on my home page. I am not applying headings to my pages instead.
However there is now a wide space where the title would normally appear that I want to get rid of. I've looked through the style sheet to work out how to do this and am having difficulty determining where this spacing or padding is coming from.
The website I need help with is: http://www.classicelegance.com.au/
I'd appreciate detailed directions of where I need to make changes and any codes so that I can fix this up please.

- Address: Jaipur, India
- Hours: Open daily: 9am - 5pm
- Admission: Indians: Rs 15; Foreigners: Rs 20
Jaigarh Fort
Climb to the top of the Diwa Burj watchtower for sweeping views of the Amber Fort and the surrounding city. If time permits, explore some of the many temples built within the fort grounds, some of them dating back to before the fort's construction. The fortress grounds contain the world's largest cannon on wheels called Jaivana. The 20-foot (6-meter) and 50-ton cannon was only fired once, and it took 220 pounds (100 kilograms) of gun powder to do it.
To save time traveling to and from Jaipur proper, combine your Jaigarh and Amber Fort visits. Either make the 20-minute climb on foot or hire a taxi outside Amber Fort. Be wary of the sizable monkey population within the fortress grounds.

I called Care Credit in September of 2008. By mid Norvember, I had received no forms. Due to Holidays, I delayed my call to Care Credit till the first week of January 2009. A representative checked my account and informed me that the forms were never sent out. She added that "any ways they were the wrong forms". So she sent me the "correct" forms. I received the forms within 5-7 days, filled them out to the best of my knowledge, included all required documents and proofs of credit card charge receips and sent the form back. A week later i received a responce that, I was out of time and Care Credit will not issue any refunds to me. I called them back, unfortunately with no positive results. At the end of my call i was adviced by the representative that I can file a complaint and she disconnected the call.
Now, I really need to do something about this. I am looking for any type of information in regards to MedAesthetica and if there is a class action lawsuite against them. They need to be stopped and help responsible for the damages they have been causing to people, their health and their pockets.

Using it (previous version) on 10.4 and I tell you, this app rocks! Excellent mainly for laptops (not usually to have it on 24h/7d). Runs the maintenance scripts when you want them to run, make some UNIX features visible (no Terminal needed) but is better to repair permissions with your Disk Utility (not a law).
Unfortunately no more upgrades for Tiger.

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /wp-content/plugins/wpgplus/gplus.php on line 47
Let me know you you need anything to sort this out
Looks like my error checking was not catching the first request - I have added that for 0.8.4 out in a few minutes. But that will just show a better error.
Do you have debugging enabled, and was there a debug file created in your plug-in directory?
The error at that line means the first request out to google plus failed - do you know if your server allows outbound http requests?
Hey John!
Thanks for you quick reply.
No debugging is off, i'm on a shared hosting and the hosting company keeps on kicking me out for CPU usage over the limit so i try and keep it as low as possible...
I just updated to 0.8.4 and now i'm having other troubles...
I get too many redirects and it's not posting anything and it's even stopping other plugins to post updates too...
I'll see if i can do some testing for you with debugging enabled and will post back soon...
the error i was getting was not systematic, i was only getting it now and then...
And also i just checked and it seems that no updates have been posted since june 03...
So I guess when i did one of the updates it must have broken something and the updates stopped...
here is the error log i have:

There's a plugin called Core Control ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/core-control/ ) which includes, among other things, a module (external HTTP access) to tell you what HTTP transports your server supports (out of: cURL, PHP Streams, PHP fsockopen()) and any other constants/filter values which might be interfering.
Some of the transports may still have issues with setting redirection to 0.
It may be that when I updated the code to use wp_remote_request (and the WordPress HTTP API in general) you started to have problems (I think that was at 0.8?).
On shared hosting with resource limits it may not be possible to run WPGPlus due to the number of requests it has to make - until Google releases a read-write API this is something of an expensive operation.
I'm running WP 3.4.1.
With 0.8.3, i didn't have the too many redirects so i guess it must be coming from one of the last changes you must have done...
I realized though as i was posting, like i mentioned before that none of the updates got posted after June 3rd so one of the changes you must have done around that period of time broke it for me...
I installed core control and all 3 transports are supported and successfully tested.
All the Constants are undefined and the filers set to the default values...
Is there a place i can download your older versions? Maybe i should just step backwards until i find one that is working, that could give you a better idea where the issue could be coming from...
It's fine running WPGPlus on the share hosting, I just need to make sure that i don't run too many things at the same time, but it's not really an inconvenience...
Thanks a lot for your help John!
You can always get older versions from the WordPress plugin repo (for any plugin hosted there). Just go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpgplus/download/
for all the versions tagged in SVN.
The only difference between 0.8.3 and 0.8.4 was setting redirection to 0 for the first wp_remote_request call, and checking for the WP_Error object (which is why you were getting a Fatal Error - because I was assuming the response was ok).
You could try going back to 0.8.3 but enabling debugging to see what you get.
