Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I did not notice that Brego.. And i watch them every night lol
You watch them every night! No pun intended, I'm sure.
I actually never noticed the sword in the millions of times I watched it, but I saw the Youtube video of it before. Absolutely brilliant.
Brego I'm probably blind but I can't see the watch? Is it in the same scene or another with him?
There is however a blooper I've seen. When Gandalf is walking into Meduseld with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli he is meant to be hiding his staff from sight. As the scene proceeds between cuts Gandalf's staff magically appears and disappears from sight.
Are you sure??:) But i think ive heard that before from another dedicated LOTR fan..
Well, technically you didn't get me because I didn't believe you....I just covered up my disbelief with a question in as friendly a tone as possible But it is reassuring to know I'm not losing my eye sight.
Good call on the staff though.
here it is guys!!
i saw the sword fall before!! can you belive people get paid to "check" these films
the staff doesn't vanish you can see it hes holding it horizontal and in the next bit its upright again,
[Edit: We don't allow the posting of links to other websites. For more information please read the website rules. If you still want to see this video, just search ''eomer's sword falls out'' for the first video. And ''the mansion of meduseld'' for the second one.(On youtube!) ]
Why do they hire people to check their film, When they could do it themselves for no cost? Makes no sense...

Join the effort to feed hungry
Published: Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 10:11 p.m.
To The Editor: More gruel please! The child living in the parish orphanage - bowl in hand, asks for more to eat. It pulls at the heart of readers since 1836 when Charles Dickens wrote about conditions in a place society chose to have its poor and unfortunate children grow up. Almost 200 years after, the very poor do not have it much better.
The public schools have somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 students who are homeless; 150 children who go to the Boys and Girls Club after school have no place to get a meal over the weekend. The Hunger Coalition raises money that should help all county children. No matter how much they raise the need is overwhelming.
If you think its the childs fault he is poor, feed them gruel. If you want to help, share what you have. Members of several county churches are trying to find a way to feed the 150 children from Boys and Girls Club on weekends. Walk the Hunger Walk. Fill the shelves at IAM. Do something! You wont have to look far to find a child who needs your help.
Gerald Stone
Executive Board Member, The Hunger Coalition

New Video and Course: Understanding the Impact of Exponential Organizations
Watch Yuri van Geest's mind-blowing webinar from December 4 2015
We are excited to introduce you to Yuri van Geest, member of Singularity University and the co-author of the ground-breaking book, Exponential Organizations, published in the fall of 2014. (The book is now required reading for all practitioners at the prestigious consulting firm, McKinsey and Company.)
Yuri hosted a webinar focused on the real cases and experiences he has seen over the past year and the challenges companies have overcome. Ann and I just completed the webinar, and we were BLOWN AWAY at the rate of innovation reported, worldwide, especially in China! Yuri, who tracks emerging technological breakthroughs for a living, reports, (11:01) "In the last six to twelve months since the launch of the book, the pace of change of technology is accelerating more than ever before."
Recent innovations include:
- Solutions for Cancer, Alzheimers Disease (your lost memories come back!!) and Type 2 Diabetes.
- A quantum computer of mind-boggling processing power to be released December 8, 2015 that will disrupt existing solutions.
- Artificial Intelligence more advanced than Deep Mind and IBM Watson that can ask and answer its own questions.
On the rate and number and variety of technological breakthroughs in the last 12 months, Yuri says: "These quantum leaps I have never seen in the last 10 years – this is a new phenomenon…" "…and all these technologies are converging for the first time." (Self-teaching AI + powerful quantum computer = Skynet??)
Watch Yuri's presentation now.
Register for the Exponential Organizations Master Practitioner course, starting December 10, 2015
Ann and I are registered for (and anticipating) the Exponential Organizations (ExO) Master Practitioner course starting next week. The 10-week hybrid program includes video, workbook, live group sessions with Yuri and his co-author, Salim Ismail, and discussion forums for participants. We will be exploring and applying new ways to help our clients in both business and social sectors accelerate growth where it matters to them, be that in profits, social impact or both.
This course is really important to us – truly a framework for ventures and social causes in the 21st century. We think the Exponential Organizations work is a match for many of you in our extended community of changemakers. We hope you will join us!
Want to learn more? Get in touch with Ann or Gary, or sign up now through this link to gain prompt access to the course materials and videos!
Enough said. We have a world to change…

2015 – Full of things…
Wind over fresh snowfall yields a field full of  'snow logs'.

Did Weird "Al" write YOUR Mission Statement?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this new music video a comedy or a tragic cautionary tale to corporate leaders, strategists and consultants?
Music parody master, Weird "Al" Yankovic, has loosed his incisive wit on corporate-buzz-speak, in a video from his just-released album, Mandatory Fun.
Mission Statement, is composed in the style of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, playing against an RSA-like whiteboard animation (which apparently took 10 months to produce!). The production quality is brilliant, and I found myself smiling and wincing in equal parts.
WARNING: This video is NOT recommended for anyone who has written a mission statement in the past decade. Showing this to your CEO or board chair may shorten your career.
But seriously, Ann and I are not fans of mission and purpose statements, even though we've had a hand in creating more than one in our day.
Our friend, colleague and mentor, Robert Fritz, writes:
"Which would we rather work for, a company that had a purpose statement but didn't have a purpose, or a company that had a purpose but didn't have a purpose statement?
Of course we would all choose the real thing over the propaganda. But even an organization that has a true purpose can rob that purpose of its power by reducing it to a slogan." *
So please, enjoy the video, and then commit yourselves to eradicating corporate-buzz-speak wherever you can – we promise to do the same!

Leadership Lessons from the Craft Beer World!
'Brewing Up a Business' by Sam Calagione, the owner of DogFish Head Brewery, was recommended by one of my sons, so I downloaded the audiobook. He brews his own beer as a hobby, and I thought – at best – I was getting into a book about craft beer counter-culture and start ups.
What I found was a fun, fast listen chock-full of lessons on the leadership required to build and run a successful business:
- about dedication and belief in what you are creating,
- of commitment to your people,
- of how the personality of an individual can shape a culture of innovation.
The company was built on creating innovative (and sometimes bizarre) products – which with craft beer means a combination of distinctive taste and ingredients, an evocative name, and a great story. (Liquid Breadfruit Ale, anyone?).
They maintain a constant awareness (and openness to) ideas that may be the germ of a new offering – and in some cases, rescue offerings in trouble.  Sales for the then-failing DFH Beer Shampoo Bar only turned around after they discovered that professional dog groomers loved it, and so repositioned it as a pet care product!
I think the thing that most struck me was their connection to and understanding of their customers. We all talk about knowing our customer, but how does that translate to action throughout a company? Calagione sets a great example, and I could see and feel his commitment to this principle, woven through every story he tells.
If you are looking for a down-to-earth and delightfully "off-centered" point of view on leadership, you are in for a great read (or listen!)!

This is my first WP website and I'm not the most tech-y person so bear with me. I have a current website that I'm replacing with a WP site.
I got on my web host and they had a one-step WP install. That worked fine. It then asked me where I wanted the WP installed. The options were http://mywebsite.com or http://www.mywebsite.com Since I'm creating a totally new website in WP, not just a blog, I chose the second option. I was able to load the theme I bought and everything seemed to be fine. I logged onto WP, everything looks just like what I"m seeing on the quickstart PDF but, when I go to look at my website, the old website is still there. Any ideas? Do I just need to remove all the old info? If I take down the old index page will WP show up? Or am I missing something else altogether?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Val77 from Toasty Warm I am using this sleeping bag now in the mitten state! We are renovating our recently purchased 91 RV - the propane recently ran out and this bag kept me toasty in Michigan's blustery weather.. Thumbs up! This bag rocks.. we discovered the zipper heads glow in the dark, too! Awesome quality.. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by renmel from All kinds of Awesome- except for the color I have NO complaints about this sleeping bag. I am a very curvy woman with plenty in the hip area and I find this bag to be roomy enough for me to toss and turn all night without giving me a feeling of claustrophobia. I have NOT had a chance to try it out in 30* yet. My school of thought for buying this bag over others is this: I can always unzip my bag, or sleep on top of my bag. It's easier to neglect using a warm bag than it is to wish for a warmer sack when you are freezing. The only thing I was kind of bummed about was the color. I really wanted a blue sack- while this may not be important for some- I personally wanted to keep all my gear blue. I find that while traveling if all your gear matches in color it stands out, it is identifiable at a distance, and there is never much question as to whose it it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by froggie247 from Not warm enough I used this on a backpacking trip and found it acceptable. I like the width at the hips, however it did not compress as small as I would have liked. Also, it did not keep me warm enough. The temperature was around 40 degrees and I had to wear extra clothing to stay semi-warm. My sister was using an REI mummy bag that compressed a lot smaller than mine and was rated to 20 degrees and she stayed warm enough to sleep in a tank top! Not impressed...

I am trying to find out if there is more than on version of WordPress. It seams like what I am currently using has some features left out. Is there a way to find out?
I am trying to find out if there is more than on version of WordPress. It seams like what I am currently using has some features left out. Is there a way to find out?
Well, there's the free hosted blogs at WordPress.com and the free full self-hosted/installed version available here.
What features are you missing?
When I add a post there are only 14 items and I know in the past there were more. I have bold, Italic,del,ins etc. but some are missing. Also when under pages I used to be able to number them in a order of how I wanted them displayed on the tool bar but that is also missing.
For the editor, click the button on the very far right of the editor toolbar (it looks like three horizontal rows of tiny icons). This will display a second row of icons.
If you were expecting more, that was probably a plugin that added the extra buttons.
Ordering pages also sounds like a plugin, but you can also create and organize your own menu via Appearance/Menu in your Dashboard (requires a compatible theme).
The tiny icon that you are talking about I am missing and also I am missing the Appearance/Menu in my Dashboard. The only theme I have loaded is Twenty Ten and I know I could do the ordering of my menus with it. Thank you for the help.
What version of WordPress are you using. Appearance > Menus subpanel are supported in WP3.0 and later.
I looked and the version I have is meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.0.1
Hmmm... 14 buttons? Are you like in HTML mode of the editor? If so switch it to Visual Editor. If the Visual Editor and HTML tabs are missing (located at the upper right of the editor), go to
Users > Your Profile and uncheck
Disable the visual editor when writing. Then go back to the page/post editor and see if you can see them now.
That did it. Thank you for all your help

I have never in my life had to chase someone around and literally beg him to start, follow through and finish a job after paying him on time and exactly what he asked for.
Dale will lie lie lie about everything he's responsible for and if you don't double check everything, he will burn you.
I paid for a job to be done many months ago and he still hasn't even started on the structure. As a matter of absolute fact, he never even filed for the permit to the city to execute the work.
Legend Design has the ability to do good work, but it'll be the biggest head ache you've ever dealt with and you will NOT get everything you've paid for or Dale will not complete the job somehow...
Do not in any way give him cash......no cash......not a penny. Also, do NOT write the checks out to Dale Simmons. Only write the checks out to Legend...... Dale is not reporting his income. The fact that he won't even accept the check written to Legend Design and Construct should set off big red alerts!!!
Don't believe anything that comes out of Dale's mouth.....EVER!
How he gets you to commit is that his bids are generally half of the reputable and respected companies. I would suggest you pay more to ensure your job is completed on time, with the correct permits and has a valid warranty you can rely on.
Legend's web site states that they are insured to $1M.....don't believe it.

We have been particularly sloppy this season, not just a bad snaps and blown coverage sloppy, but the 4th most penalized team in the league sloppy!
If this doesn't get cleaned up it doesn't matter who starts at QB, or how healthy Frank Gore is, I can't remember a team this sloppy winning a Superbowl since John Maddens Raiders way back in the 70's.
Maybe you Googleheads and Stats Hounds can help me out, but when was the last time a team this sloppy won a ring?
Harbaugh had better get some control, or this thing won't last!

Vodafone certifies iOS 6.1.1 safe for use with iPhone 4S
Apple finally issues fix for bug that left some users unable to text or call.
Vodafone customers have been given the all clear to upgrade their iPhones to the latest version of iOS following the discovery of a bug that caused connection problems.
Version 6.1 of iOS was unveiled two weeks ago by Apple, but iPhone 4S users were warned by Vodafone UK not to install the update because it left some phones unable to make and receive calls, send texts or browse the internet.
The mobile operator warned users not to upgrade to iOS 6.1 until a bug fix was announced, which Apple has now released called iOS 6.1.1.
Vodafone has certified the update as safe to install.
In a forum post, a spokesman for Vodafone, said: "Apple has released a new version of its iPhone software that fixes the 3G performance issues that have been affecting users of the iPhone 4S who had installed iOS 6.1.
"Please download the latest version — iOS 6.1.1 — from Apple as soon as you can as this will deal with these issues," he added.
The updated version of iOS 6 promised enhanced support for LTE networks on the iPhone 5 and faster internet browsing.
However, some users complained of connection problems and poor battery life after the update had been installed.
Meanwhile, other problems have also surfaced with iOS 6.1. According to a report on Microsoft Technet, users running the updated OS claim their devices now constantly ping Exchange servers, forcing administrators to ban them until the problem was fixed.
It is unclear whether owners of non-iPhone 4S devices will get iOS 6.1.1. Apple has also yet to make any official comments on what caused the problem in the first place.

Complete Story
Aspiration in children is a serious and common problem. It usually presents with an initial episode of choking with subsequent respiratory symptoms. Aspiration occurs whenever secretions, solid food or liquids "go down the wrong pipe" and enter the airway and lungs. Aspirating material into the lungs can lead to respiratory problems, such as pneumonia. While there may be observable signs that accompany aspiration events, such as coughing, choking, eye reddening during eating, or a gurgly vocal quality after swallowing, infants and children can also aspirate "silently," or with no observable symptoms.
If your child is found to be aspirating, follow up therapy is recommended to work with you and your child to develop a feeding/swallowing program based on your child's unique needs.

Warmist scientists own hungry dogs
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, February, 03, 2010, (5:10pm)
New Zealand warmists claim they've lost their original data, too:
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has been urged by the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (NZCSC) to abandon all of its in-house adjustments to temperature records. This follows an admission by NIWA that it no longer holds the records that would support its in-house manipulation of official temperature readings.
In December, NZCSC issued a formal request for the schedule of adjustments under the Official Information Act 1982, specifically seeking copies of "the original worksheets and/or computer records used for the calculations". On 29 January, NIWA responded that they no longer held any internal records, and merely referred to the scientific literature.
Is this the work of the same dog that ate the University of East Anglia's homework, too?
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
Pardon the scepticism, but:
The "climategate" controversy intensified last night when the senior British scientist at its centre, Professor Phil Jones, faced fresh accusations that he attempted to withhold data that could cast doubt on evidence for rising world temperatures.
Background to the allegations against NIWA here.
Have Your Say
What a shame that none of it is true:
(b) Methodology for adjusting data publicly available
The methodology for adjusting for site changes in the NZ temperature record was published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Climatology in 1993. NIWA referred Dr Vincent Gray of the NZ Climate Science Coalition to this paper on 19 July 2006.
Rhoades, D.A. and Salinger, M.J., 1993: Adjustment of temperature and rainfall measurements for site changes. International Journal of Climatology 13, 899 – 913.
(c) Unadjusted (raw) data publicly available
NIWA's unadjusted climate data is available to anyone at no charge, through web access to the NIWA climate database. This has been the case since 1 July 2007.
Someone is telling porkies.

It`s time for criminal charges to be laid against these people and, the MSM that protects them.
Obviously Labour wont do it because of their complicity, and unfortunatley the Liberals are bunch of ignorant fools.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:25pm)
but they can't reproduce it can they?
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:50pm)
BT, by your standards all you need to do is:
1 - Trust the expert who can't produce data, but nevertheless gets significant grant income from what he says about the data he can't produce, and
2 - trust certain politicians because - well - they are politicians, so they can be trusted; after all they believe what the expert says about the data that can't be produced and they get more power as well, and
3 - trust certain individuals who have heavily invested in what the expert says about the data that can't be produced.
Clear, unambigious evidence of fraud and recorded scientific data that can be produced, can be safely disregarded.
Don't you think there's something a little odd in that?
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:05pm)
Someone is telling porkies
Couldn't be you by any chance?
Must be NIWA then.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:13pm)
Hey Big Ted, didn't you read this post?
The paper you quote is about the methodology, but they (NIWA) couldn't produce the steps that they used to derive the final homogenized sets. If you model something from A to D say, and cannot produce steps B and C then the results cannot be checked. Get it!
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:16pm)
Their site says "CliFlo returns raw data and statistical summaries.". From that I assume they use "raw data" to mean not "statistical summaries".
That's different from "raw data" meaning not adjusted with spurious adjustments to get the answer they wanted.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:20pm)
You cannot grasp what "raw data" is Ted? Your own "proof" simply states methodology shown not the actual data.
Keep believing, religous zeal is always blinkered.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:38pm)
You are really well brainwashed, Big Ted.
Give it up before you become a laughing stock- if you aren't already.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:24pm)
You are absolutely right this time Big Ted… See you do have rare insight at times.... Someone indeed has been telling porkies as you point out.
Though the methodology was released, there is still a huge problem… When using that SAME methodology, the results are not reproducible..... The scientific method is about a third party using the data and methodology and reproducing the same result....
Indeed, someone is lying and that someone is NIWA.
Oh, you did realize that Big Ted? Didn't you?
Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:40pm)
Should we feel blessed that Big Ted still has the nerve to show his mug amid back-flip after back-flip by his beloved IPCC and the AGW coven of liars.

"Data records from Chinese collection centres are unreliable!..How did they find out?".."Who told them we moved them or removed them..?". "Tell the Guardian to run a mock-up to cover our arses, that should do"

We'll just say that tectonic activity around the northern hemisphere is due to CO2 expanding the volume of water mass in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean and has caused the increase in recent earthquakes and forced the entire northern hemisphere to 'move south'..Who's going to question us, certainly not he media, the WWF or Greenpeace"
"Remember guys, if anyone asks you for data under the FOI just say "The dog ate my homework"
Is that the kind of science you pin your dreams on Big Ted?
P.S. "The methodology for adjusting for site changes in the NZ temperature record was published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Climatology in 1993."..Peer reviewed! By who or whom? Jones, Manne, Briffa? Maybe even Tim Flannery! Did Lord Monkton get a chance to 'Peer Review' it by chance or even Ian Plimer? After all, peer review means from opposing views as well.
The battle is over Teddy old boy and those that bet on the leftards at the IPCC are now in the serious minority. In fact AGW and Climate Change has fewer followers than Gary Glitter.
Someone is telling Porkies alright and you could begin your search in East Anglia, NASA and NOAA.

Big Ted
The raw data might very well be there (nobody is contesting that) but the algorithms and "adjustments" used for the computer modelling are not.
It's perfectly simple.
Question: Did you have to undertake special training to become that thick or is it natural?
Wed 03 Feb 10 (10:04pm)
Not sure of what you say Big Ted, but I am becoming more aware that Andrew's argument seems to becoming more desperate by the day.
He aligning behind Lord Mockton (for which he will speak nor hear any ill will) is a desperate act. If he is his White Knight, then there are not too many out there to back his viewpoint.
Apparently the IPCC report he is constantly chipping away at contained 3,000 pages of data, analysis, and findings. In this he has found a few (a very few) that are difficult to justify either the data, how it was analysed, or the conclusions made.
Yet, he asks his readers to conclude this invalidates the whole 3,000 pages of content.
He argues without reason accepting nothing that does not match his argument or completely ignoring it as if it doesn't exist.
His game is spin and ignorance nothing more and he advances the cause of the discussion and science not one jot.

Joe. I recently received a 64 page prospectus for a hedge fund run by a bloke called Bernie Madoff, which clearly shows 40 years of stellar performancee.
This prospectus has so many graphs and tables illustrating the sheer genius of Mr Madoff; such an upward trend in returns, that I'm just about to invest heavily with him.
However I've recently read a series of internal E-mails leaked from Mr Madoff's company in which, among other things, various auditors and regulators who've signed off on the accuracy of the figures are found saying things like "Hide the poor performances", "make sure the Feds don't get hold of the raw data", "Please ensure the examining accountants are all our mates" and so on.
A friend has reviewed several claims made in the prospectus and discovered quite a few discrepencies, though what's half adozen "silly errors" in 64 pages,eh?. When I asked how he thought the auditors had missed them, he suggested that because thry were receiving indirect remuneration based on the number of investors attracted by the prospectus, that they may not be impartial. Also that the leaked E-Mails were somewhat worrying.
I've decided not to invest my savings with Mr Madoff. What about you Joe?
Thu 04 Feb 10 (05:27am)
Oh Big Ted are you still here trying to defend this cr@p,i gotta hand it to you i do admire your tenacity.You certainly are the little terrier that wont let go.
Having said that i dont admire your blind subservience to this fraud,you seem like a man/woman that just can't admit they are wrong,your the type that would love to get the last word in i bet.
Sure you not my ex wife?
"an admission by NIWA that it no longer holds the records that would support its in-house manipulation of official temperature readings".
Next step is to establish what contact there has been between the allegedly fraudulent Phil Jones and the allegedly fraudulent NIWA.
Environmental "science" in NZ has a long history of fitting the establishment dogma.
There's something about the desire of the AGW warmist scientists to shred raw data and leave only their manipulated data for public consumption..... that troubles me.
Guess I'm just being silly.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (05:35pm)
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:11pm)
Yes, TT, silly old you. Why would you even think of questioning the experts?
These people have no shame.
Quite apart from undermining any faith we may have in scientists to provide objective research, peer review and form logical conclusions based on observations and fact, they are attempting destroy our whole society.
These crooks should be tried for their crimes up to and including treason. And so should the elected politicians that have given them credibility. These are dangerous people. They are at least as dangerous as islamic fascists. They too have quietly declared war on civilisation and they should be treated in the same way as we should be treating bin laden.
Democracy cannot survive corrupt leadership that is prepared to quietly sign away national sovereignty on the advice of crooked scientists that rank alongside Mengeles in their quest to get the result they have predetermined out of self interest.

Wed 03 Feb 10 (10:10pm)
Bold statement that Kevin.
Digusting. Hmmm. Subjective opinion. He doesn't disgust me, and I would say many millions of other people, so not really a fair description to make.
Hypocrite. Well here, aren't we all. Haven't we all said one thing, and done another, or expressed one view whilst believing or acting on another.
I have and I suspect you have.
So in this respect both descriptions of him are not truly accurate.
So, just qualify, 'In my opinion Gore - is an absolutely dihusting hypocrite'.
And that advances this discussion where ? No where. Grow up.
In the light of the Darwin Airport temperature 'adjustments' (exposed by Willis Eschenbach), this also is not beyond serious doubt.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (05:41pm)
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:19pm)
Even without considering Eschenbach's errors,it is not possible to base your 'serious doubt' about the national data set on extrapolation from one station.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:08pm)
Well, maybe someone can explain how the Bom managed to get an extra 1 deg C per century from thisby combining two stations 12km apart and 62 metres different in altitude.
At first look it appears to be an instrument error but closer inspection month by month reveals that the earlier (62 mts lower) location had much cooler minimums in winter as it is surrounded by hills.
It highlights the difficulty of merging stations from different locations even one that are so close to one another.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:44pm)
The IPCC has no qualms about ignoring data from weather stations:
Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:07pm)
The Australian temperature record (like the world surface record) is a mess.
As illustrated by the Darwin Airport example, it is a hotchpotch of data, the temperature measurements at any putative single location recorded at a variety of different locations in the vicinity and on different instruments.
There is no 'sophisticated' statistical method of knitting together data collected by amateurs at different locations on different instruments or in different shelters over time to form a reliable continuous series—we're talking about fractions of °C.
They should be treated as separate series.
It is well known that the post-war record has a warming bias due the the UHI effect.
It is an outrageous suggestion I know, but it is that discontinuity of data, the splicing together of the pre-war and post-war data (and other 'adjustments') in one continuous series which opens the opportunity for deliberate manipulation equivalent to the 'hockey stick' fraud.
But aren't peer reviewing scientists, UN officials and IPCC members beyond reproach when dealing with their professional commitments? It seems they're quite the opposite, even criminal by nature. Must be tough being on the left and trying to defend these charlatans and their work.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:03pm)

Not at all - the left and lies are old friends.
One wonders whether the CSIRO also has managed to feed its dog here in Australia. The question should at least be asked.

I heard it was a crisis in needing litter for the lab rats and well...there was all this paper lying around..and ..well um. whoops!
That Scoop article is just dutifully regurgitating all the NZCSC claims without corroboration. High journalistic standards indeed.
And,no,Andrew,UEA scientists did NOT admit throwing away raw data.
That story from the Timesonline is concocted. What Jonathan Leake has done is use background information from UEA CRUs data availability page,online well before the CRUhack, and falsely state that it was part of an 'admission' made after the data theft. Leake's sixth paragraph uses part of the UEA data availability page verbatim ,putting it in quotation marks and misleadingly implying in his previous paragraph that it is a "statement" made on the website FOLLOWING the hack. This seriously stinks. Check it carefully for yourself.
More recycled allegations against Jones are rebutted by UEA CRU.
There is some seriously poor gutter journalism afoot at the moment. Who is going to keep the press honest?

Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:58pm)
The UN IPCC is facing more humiliation tonight after revelations that a "peer reviewed' study relied on in its Working Group 1 report contained "worthless" and fake data.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:27pm)
The article you link to relates to the UHI effect and the article by Jones has been thoroughly debunked. Jones and UEA are standing by the reports accuracy based on the claim "or" relating to the weather stations as opposed to "and" so the report might be accurate but it is utterly worthless.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:57pm)
Wow after following your links I'm convinced.
convinced you are a complete twat. Convincing argument you have there posting links to the UEA defending itself. You must think you are on the ABC site and that fools will just fall into line but generally over here people question what has happened and look for some independant verification not a university under pressure to defend its honour.
My god.

Read this Poly:
Dominic Lawson
Bearing in mind that these fraudsters may be responsible for reducing the standard of living of every human being on the planet, if this sort of thing had happened three hundred years ago, their heads would be on spikes on London Bridge.
And you bang on about the circumstances in which the facts came out. It was more than likely a whistle blower, given the quantity and specificity of the e-mails that were revealed.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (10:40pm)
For some reason,I could not get the link to set,but if you enter 'data availability'in the obvious search box on the UEA media page,you will get the right page. About six paras down in 'data availability is the sentence Leake used verbatim as a "statement" supposedly released after the CRU hack. But as I said before ,the 'data availability' page is much older than the hack. This is proven by reference made to the page in a submission by the CEI in an appeal to re-open submissions on the US EPA pollution decision involving CO2,and a New York Times article about that case from mid- October 2009.
The Briefing Room is just the old Keenan case resurrected with a bit of verbal 'attitude';once again CRU media has issued a rebuttal..make of it what you will.
Thu 04 Feb 10 (01:00am)
Pete, if you want independent verification,you'll have to wait for Sir Muir Russell's review,and the police report. When it doesn't work out for you ,you'll have your conspiracy theory to fall back on.
In the meantime ,if you've had the patience,you'll have seen how Jonathan Leake cooked up a story on Jones...and he's not the only Brit journo to sex up the issue.
Kevin,Lawson has nothing to add. he's just repeating the alarmist muck and misrepresentation so many others have laid out over the last two months. Read it all before. You could even ask Kevin Trenberth what he meant. Drop him a line,you'd be a step ahead of Lawson.
The British media are a lazy lot,but,terrified of missing out just in case a rival is onto something,they all jump in for some action and muddy the waters.
What a farce the whole thing is turning out to be. Yet, our politicians continue to have their heads firmly planted in the sand. How pathetic. And in spite of all that, they could still succeed. What is wrong with this country? Have we lost the essence of our democracy, or has it been always like this?
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:09pm)
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:31pm)
No cb, it wasn't always like this, it only happened when KRudds mongrel mob hit the decks, I am hesitant to say Hawke and Keating were much better than our current megalomaniac.
^v^ The Bat
of course the previous head of the NIWA when the data went missing was Jim Salinger, who previously worked for CRU

Sadly two female Coalition senators will cross the floor to support Labour's ETS bill. Both of them told me they "had to trust the scientists". But in addition,she said she knew climate change was happening as it didn't rain as regularly now in the area where she grew up as it did when she was a girl.

Wed 03 Feb 10 (08:39pm)
G'day Rob,
I must say that I tend to take these people who say "it doesn't rain as regularly now in the area that they grew up in" with a grain or two af salt.
I sometimes think that many either have short memories or tend not to take too much notice of what goes on around them until someone tells them a story.
From my own observations (recording rainfall for the past 30 odd years, and in particular where I have now lived for the past 10 years) it can be confidently be said that there has been NO dramatic increase OR decrease in rainfall.
Indeed, overall the patterns have remained fairly static with just the odd month hear and there throwing things out, yet, the year in year out measurements are within 20-30 mms all the time. The same applies to temperatures (the actual temps that is not some adjusted figures).
The other thing I find very strange is the number of people who regularly contradict themselves by saying "we have had very mild summers/ winters for the past 7- 8 years, (gee it would be nice to have a good winter or summer)then after listening to radio/ tv tell me how climate change is altering anything and everything.
My own conclusion is that many are only to happy to have others do their thinking for them (a rather unhealthy and stupid place to put oneself).
I think I've stumbled onto the originator of the idea of losing data! If I remember her name correctly, it is Joy Kuhl. You ask why her? Re: Lindy Chamberlain / death of Azaria, because she is the first scientist in this country to deliberately destroy evidence!

She may have stuffed up on the sound-deadening material, but I never heard of any allegation of her destroying evidence.
I guess you are aware that she is dead now, so cannot answer your charges.
I met her on a number of occasions here in darwin where she lived until her death. She was an impressive person; wise and interesting and with a political philosophy very similar to mine.
Thu 04 Feb 10 (06:51am)
Dave Wane
She may have stuffed up on the sound-deadening material, but I never heard of any allegation of her destroying evidence.
Yes Dave not only stuff up, but in court, when asked to produce the evidence, told the court she had destroyed it.
Imagine if you were accused of a crime and when you had your day in court the prosecution admitted that they no longer had any witnesses or evidence to prove their case against you. Instead they plead to the judge and jury that they should simply take their word that you are in fact guilty.
If you lose your data, you lose your evidence - and you lose your case! The loss of this "raw data" is therefore a critical blow.
And if the raw data is found to have been wilfully destroyed by any scientists, I wonder if they would then subject themselves to the same burden of proof for their criminal activity? I seriously doubt they would accept a prosecutor accuse them of braking the law without evidence to prove and the judge being asked to simply take the prosecution's word on the matter!
No, they would demand the proof… and so do we!

These tactics are similar to ones I have experienced when questioning the veracity of reports written by Victorian govt. environmental departments. As an example when you try and reverse engineer certain reports and get to the important bits, the base data, you could be met with the reply that it is the 'intellectual property' of the employee. This base data is in turn spread amongst a number of employees, who may work in different regional offices. Even different states or overseas in some instances. Essentially the information is so diffused it makes it a fulltime proposition to chase it up.
Of course then you have FOI but I believe the government has hobbled that process.
Base data is very easily manipulated with environmental reporting in many fields. They know the public cannot physically check up on it.
It's not only the issue of AGW where our trusted 'experts' don't like to give out base data from environmental reports.
It's a shame that those doing the good work are undermined by the environmental zealots that many of us know exist within many govt. departments.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (06:58pm)
Is there any raw data left that can be shown to support the IPCC position?
Doesn't sound like it!
As Brutus points out above, in criminal law courts, unless the chain of evidence is complete, right back to the original evidence, any use of the evidence is inadmissable - case thrown out.
Seems to me the IPCC case should be thrown out immediately.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:04pm)
So I have subscribed to NIWA's database and been given access to all sorts of stuff. So as I don't know what I'm doing I'm just bumbling through; but it seems that you can get all sorts of records which if they are raw will surely give someone who does understand the data a chance to work out what is really going on. Simple enough process to subscribe, six steps and you're in. I await with interest.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:06pm)
The uncovering of shonkiness continues. Who knows where it will end?
Every time new revelations of fudging,exaggerating,faking and now apparently destroying data are published, another nail is driven into the coffin the theory of man-made-climate-change.
The leftists who dreampt of a new world socialist government will need to go back to the drawing board.However next time they dream up a new socialist plan they should try to base it on the facts, instead of half-truths, lies and unsubstantiated claims.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:14pm)
Thankfully, our own Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) seems to be above board. It is inconceivable, for example, that it would withhold or jettison "records that would support its in-house manipulation of official temperature readings."
Furthermore, anyone can go to BoM's website here
to show that, essentially, Australia has not warmed since its hottest decade on BoM's records, 1881-1890 or thereabouts. You can check that from BoM's Mean Maximum Temperatures for the following Station numbers:
26026, 46043, 55023, 58012, 64008, 69018, 75031, 83025, 84016, 85096, 90015
These are rural met stations. They are the best indication of temperature trends for Australia.
City or airport stations are not included, nor should they be. Their temperatures are artificially warmed by the local heat-island effect. You can check that amount of warming error from records for the following met stations at cities or airports:
38003, 61055, 66062, 80015, 86071, 94029
Unfortunately, as an oversight no doubt, BoM must have included, or chosen, these stations in its Annual Australian Climate Statement 2009 which shows a warming trend that hasn't happened. No doubt BoM accordingly will revise its Statement pronto.
Wed 03 Feb 10 (07:17pm)
CliFlo is the web system that provides access to New Zealand's National Climate Database.
The climate database holds data from about 6500 climate stations which have been operating for various periods since the earliest observations were made in the year 1850. The database continues to receive data from over 600 stations that are currently operating.
CliFlo returns raw data and statistical summaries. Raw data include ten minute, hourly and daily frequencies. Statistical data include about eighty different types of monthly and annual statistics and six types of thirty?year normals. See an example of daily output and an example of statistical output.

In PHP I've used the following code in attempt to pull a single row to return the results in JSON format. If I remove my WHERE statement, the record returns fine (assuming I'm just testing with one record in the table.) If I add the WHERE statement back, it returns NULL. The exact same query, when pasted into phpmyadmin's query tool, produces the desired record. Highly annoying, so if anyone could please point out what I've done wrong I would greatly appreciate it!
For the sake of example, let's assume I can confirm that "stringId1" (which is a varchar) does exist in the DB and I've culled the JSON output just to demonstrate the syntax I'm using.
$queryString = "SELECT * FROM wp_sne WHERE id = 'stringId1'";
$result = $wpdb->get_row($queryString);
if ($result)
echo json_encode(array("id" => $result->id));
POST Response: {"id":null}

I am a new wordpress user, just created some pages for my job that I'm hoping to use as websites. The theme is Twenty Ten.
I was customizing the header with images that I uploaded - but the first few were grainy until I figured out the right size file.
I would like to use the random button to cycle through a series of images, but I can't figure out how to delete the poor quality images I uploaded. Does this require CSS code editing? Is it difficult, or do I need to have wordpress installed on my computer? I've only used the online editing features so far.
Also, I was wondering if it was possible to create a header image in wordpress that would cycle through a series of several images while a person was looking at a single page - similar to what many universities and news sites use on their homepage, to emphasis a few key stories or images. I have no idea how to go about this, and would love to know if it's even possible in wordpress.
Thanks so much!!

Hey everyone,
I'm hoping to find some words of wisdom. I'm 14 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and the father made the decision to remove himself from the situation shortly after we found out. It's been about 2 months since then and I still find myself struggling. Because of my views against abortion, I chose to continue the pregnancy, knowing the father wouldn't be involved..But I'm already worried about what to tell my child when they ask where daddy is, or why he isn't here. And I find myself struggling to get through somedays, just wanting to give up.
I guess I'm just looking for some advice from other single moms..Is it worth all the emotional pain? Some days I'm excited, and others I just don't know if I can do it...and what is the best way to get over the father? I hate that I'm still in love with him, even though he's basically abandoned me and this baby.

This is one of four paintings Turner exhibited in 1845 and 1846 exploring the activities of whaling fleets. He seems to have hoped that his patron Elhanan Bicknell, who was himself involved in this business, would buy the series, but he ultimately only acquired one of the canvases. The whale here is in the process of being caught. Another picture in this series shows the whale being cut up for its blubber. Turner seems to have borrowed the name of this whaling ship from HMS Erebus, which with her companion vessel, the Terror, had discovered Anarctica during explorations of the South Seas in 1839-43.
