Upon the release of Alexa Chung's newest AG Jeans collection, she made a statement that allowed all hardcore skinny jeans fans to breath a sigh of relief… that is, if they count on It-girls to call the shots in their wardrobe. In an exclusive post for Refinery29, she shares the inspiration behind her collection, as well as her feedback on the future of the skinny fit. When asked what she would say to those who have declared the death of the trend, she responded:
"I would say they have too much time on their hands. Who sits and thinks about what's over; it's all next, next, next for me. Also, I still wear skinny jeans, so I'm probably not the right person to ask. You have to dress for your shape, and I look better in that cut, so I don't think they'll die in my wardrobe."

Phillip Musson was told to get fit or die young.
He worked a stressful job, smoked cigarettes and drank too much alcohol. His health had deteriorated and his weight had ballooned to 120kg.
That doctor's visit in September 2003, Musson says, changed his life. He became a gym junkie and lost 50kg in 12 months. A year later he won a New Zealand bodybuilding title.
Yesterday, Musson - also known as Dr Phil, Giant or Big Guy - was jailed for four years, five months and three weeks for masterminding the importation, sale and supply of steroids and party pills. He had earlier admitted dozens of charges, including more than 180 brought under the Medicines Act.
It is the most substantial prosecution of its kind in the past five years.
Ministry of Health figures show that over that period seizures of performance and image-enhancing drugs have more than trebled. Last year, 340 parcels containing drugs were intercepted by authorities, compared to 89 in 2008.
Officials warn that use of steroids can lead to high blood pressure, liver damage, changes to the heart, breast growth in men and shrinking of the testicles.
Musson, 45, a self-employed personal trainer, declined to comment through his lawyer Simon Clay.
Court documents obtained by The Press detail how a man once viewed as a role model to young bodybuilders became the kingpin of a sophisticated, nationwide mail-order steroid and party pill dealing operation.
Investigators said he had unexplained income of at least $795,958 from April 2010 to March last year. Medicines and drugs worth more than $1 million were seized during the operation.
The police asset recovery team is trying to strip Musson of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of assets, including gold, silver, cash, vehicles and his family home in Bishopdale, Christchurch.
His wife, Lesley, and her mother, Anne Hammill, both live at the property. They declined to comment.
Musson's father James, who lives in Kaikoura, said he was shocked to learn of his son's offending.
"He kept it a secret."
Sources close to Musson said he grew up in a working class family in Christchurch.
"He was just a normal chap battling away and his doctor told him he needed to lose weight," one source said.
"He made a good job of doing that but then he became . . . a gym junkie. Obviously he learned there about these [drugs]."
Bodybuilding sources said Musson's arrest was no surprise. His method of sale was blatant - sending bulk text messages to people in the sport advertising what he had to offer.
"When he popped his head up he went so f. .g hard, it was ridiculous," one source said.
"He's an idiot."
The Auckland District Court yesterday heard that Musson was left depressed and financially bereft after the Christchurch earthquakes, which had destroyed his personal training business.
He hatched a plan to import, manufacture and supply performance-enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids and testosterone, and sell them to bodybuilders under the brands Titan and CN Pharmaceuticals.
Musson sourced the ingredients online from Hong Kong and China and collected them from post shops using fake driver licences.
The licences were produced by graphic designer Brodie Gilles Thompson, 30, who was paid about $1500 for his work. Thompson later admitted forgery and was sentenced to 150 hours' community work.
Court documents show that Musson's plan unravelled after a parcel containing steroids was intercepted at the International Mail Centre in Auckland in November 2011.
The find sparked Operation Adder - a joint Customs, Police and Medsafe investigation.
At the same time, Musson was also selling party pills made by fellow bodybuilder and Hamilton City Council employee Chetan Viraj Jethwa. At its peak, that operation netted them $55,000 a week. They were arrested in May 2012 after raids by investigators.
Jethwa pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 months' home detention and 300 hours' community work. Musson denied charges relating to the operation.
While on bail he teamed up with one of his customers, Christchurch man Rodney Bailey, 61, and continued to import and sell steroids under the brand Phoenix Biotech until police raided his home again in February last year.
Bailey was sentenced to seven-months' home detention for his role. He was receiving treatment for prostate cancer, one of the possible consequences of steroid use.
Musson took to Facebook to defend himself. "The stress these raids cause and the toll it has on family and health are immeasurable," he posted online. "This is all over substances that enhance people's lives."
Weeks later, Musson admitted dozens of charges relating to the offending.
In an interview with police after he was arrested in 2012, he said he was more knowledgeable about the use of steroids than most health professionals in New Zealand. Musson claimed doctors in Christchurch sought advice from him about their use, although he refused to name them.
Medsafe compliance management branch manager Derek Fitzgerald said the products Musson sold were not up to pharmaceutical standard and posed a risk to users.
Last week, personal trainer and world champion bodybuilder Stephen Orton, 24, also from Christchurch, was sentenced to seven months' home detention and 150 hours' community work after he admitted importing two packages of the Class C drug methylone from China. *Additional reporting Kelly Dennett

Hi my "related post" are broken on the individual blog page posts. They are missing the question mark and are going to 404 pages. Is there any way to fix this or disable them for the blog?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Hi my "related post" are broken on the individual blog page posts. They are missing the question mark and are going to 404 pages. Is there any way to fix this or disable them for the blog?
Can anyone help me or help me out with a link that will help me? I really can't figure this one out.
Jamie, I have had the same problem and I am currently looking for an answer to this predicament. Did you recently upgrade to WordPress 2.7? That's when it happened to me.
There are a few workarounds listed in the forum here, but none are working for me.
I tried going back to WP v2.63, but the links are still broken. They are still missing the question mark.
Still no resolve. I have looked everywhere for an answer to this, but so far - Nothing!
My Recent Post tags do not have the "?" and thus return an error. It seems that a good many folks are having the same problem, but I have seen nothing about a resolve yet.
Does anyone have an answer to this? I'd settle for not having the Recent Post links at all, rather than having them dead end to nowhere. Any suggestions? Anyone?
Hi bill, nice to see I am not the only one with this issue. It is driving me NUTS! I still can't figure it out. I didn't upgrade my blog I am using 2.6.3 version. Your right they are missing the question mark in the link URL. I can't figure it out. It really sucks having this list of useless links on every single blog page. You would think someone would know the answer to why these links are on my page. I don't have one single plug in that has anything to do with Related posts. I am using the self install .com version of wordpress and there is no way to get rid of these links.
Related posts are not a standard part of WordPress, so it's likely plugin or theme-related. To see if it is a plugin causing it, temporarily disable all plugins and see if the problem goes away. To see if it's your theme, switch to the default theme and see if the problem goes away.
I found it. It is StatsPressCN module that is adding these links and they are broken I will go the that module and report it to them. I have no idea why this module would add these annoying related links to my posts pages they have been driving me nuts.
The best part is that it is right in the plugins page description. I would have never though. I am going to ask they fix it or remove it. It doesn't work very well at all.
Ok under StatpressCN under "options" there is a checkbox called "Show related post at the tail (After your blog is visited 1000 times, then you can use this function. Now the number is 163537)" I disabled it and it is now GONE!!! :) Happy times that I finally figured this one out. Thanks for your advice iridiax.

New Mural a Campus-Community Partnership
June 28, 2016
A collaboration of Emporia State art students and the Emporia Police Department is a visual reminder of the relationship between the community and law enforcement.
A group of art students at the university with Associate Professor Derek Wilkinson created a mural for the police department — the sole focus of a two-week summer course designed after Police Chief Scott Cronk approached the ESU art department about the project.
"We decided this way would be a really good opportunity for students to get credit hours and also get a hands-on experience doing a mural project," Wilkinson said. "We wouldn't have had time to add this project onto the semester schedule."
The class met from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for two weeks. The first week was spent creating the mural concept with particular input from Cronk who, with Sgt. Lisa Sage, visited the class at the start of Day 1. The officers shared words and phrases they would like to as inspiration.
"They used the terms 'love,' 'serve,' 'protect' and 'respect,'" Wilkinson said. "Terms that describe police officers' roles in the community and how they should act in the community. Chief Cronk added to that 'see no color' and asked to just emphasize how they should treat everyone equally regardless of race and represent the LGBTQ community."
That same day, the students began sketching. By the end of the week, individual ideas had been presented, discussed, debated and a final design was agreed upon.
On the Monday of Week 2, the class moved to the Emporia Police Department where the mural would be painted on a hallway wall near Investigations and other offices. The students turned an adjacent conference room into their studio. Containers of acrylic paints in primary and secondary colors covered tables along with cups and plates used to mix the paints into the desired colors.
In the hallway, a grid was drawn on the wall and the design was transferred square by square. Then the painting began.
"I wanted to experience painting on the walls," said graphic design major Shahad Ashi about why she took the class. "It's not an opportunity you get all the time."
Indeed, Ashi was unable to work on an earlier mural on the back of Mulready's Pub in downtown Emporia — another collaboration with ESU students and community members. That project conflicted with Ashi's finals.
Still, painting wasn't easy. Just like homeowners painting walls and needing at least two coats, the entire mural was painted out then painted again to solidify colors and ensure edges between them were crisp.
"I worked on painting the rainbow," said Ashi, who came to ESU from Saudi Arabia. "But someone came after me and did it again."
The focal point of the mural is two hands holding a sunflower. The bottom hand is painted blue to represent police officers. The second hand is painted with a patchwork of different skin tones representing the community.
At the left side of the mural are two eyes with a rainbow pouring out of one. The eyes were Jordan Robinson's idea.
"The idea of the eyes and one of them being blind shows the aspect of 'see no color,'" explained Robinson, a graphic design major from Topeka.
The rainbow flows over the silhouette of a police officer and turns into a vibrant Kansas sunset behind the verdant Flint Hills with the statue of Justice standing sentry. And the artists — Jeffrey Bollman, Sloane Dyer, Kaitlyn Ekart, Sadie Hutchison, Sarah Richardson, Mercedes Silvey, Thuong Tran, along with Ashi, Robinson and Wilkinson — included a surprise. Each drew hornets, symbolizing the ESU contribution, with their initials included.
"This is so much more than we ever imagined," said Cronk. "It's beautiful."
Students also painted the opposite wall of the hallway with a wide band of black with a thin blue line in the middle. Above the color they lettered "Emporia Police Department." The wall will be used to hang framed photos of officers working out in the field, Sage said.
Although the mural is in a restricted area of the department, Sage said that plenty of people will be able to enjoy it.
"It's beside Investigations and we do have people in and out of there — witnesses, victims, suspects. We also do a lot of tours with children and adults.
"Members of the public are welcome to come here and see the mural."
Anyone wanting to see the finished mural can stop at the Emporia Police Department weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or by appointment.

Consider effort given for others' pleasure
Published: Tuesday, June 3, 2003 at 12:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 2, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
This subject has had an adverse effect on my life for the last nine years.
For those who frequent eating facilities and are not up to speed with the compensation paid to waitresses based upon present minimum-wage laws, waitresses can be paid a minimum of $2.13 per hour.
Imagine a waitress who is a single mother with the obvious bills we all endure stands to earn $84.20 for a standard 40-hour work week. Also envision the same mother forced to work less than 40 hours a week because she attempting to perform as any good mother would -- spending time with her children, taking care of normal activities that would otherwise be handled by two individuals versus one.
Place yourselves in a situation that requires you to wear a smile at all times no matter what your heart is telling your facial features to present. Imagine constant concentration on people skills that are normally reserved for high-level management personnel.
Also imagine, as we are all well aware of, being thrust into a situation where patience and understanding must be ever prevalent. Albeit, these traits are consistent in individuals as a requirement for employment in occupations that mandate compensation that far exceeds $2.13 per hour.
In summary, place yourself in this position, then ask yourself if you can live a life that is free of stress, free of worries, free of financial independence. If you find that you can't, then remember the next time you frequent your favorite eating facility, that the person waiting on your every need, wearing the smile that enhances your dining experience and eventually embeds that special memory of dining with loved ones or friends, is the lowest paid individual in today's workforce.
You can acknowledge the efforts of these hard-working Americans by an ageless gesture we all know as tipping. Waitresses are contributing to the economic stability and well being of our great nation, as well as instilling good solid morals for their children. Waitresses depend on these tips to supplement the menial wage mandated by the State Labor Commission.
Feel the anxiety these individuals feel as they go through each day, anticipating the receipt of adequate tips just to cover basic everyday needs. Please remember to tip these people who continue to put your needs at the forefront of their day.

I tried for several hours to fix it to no avail. Finally I removed the database and wp install, and did a fresh reinstall, very carefully, but received exactly the same error. I had changed permissions of .htaccess and blog.dir to 666. The error log produces these every time I try to reload the page:

The info in the .htaccess file was of course copied from the lines of code created for me on the 'enabling the network' page. Yes, I cleared the cache and cookies of my browser as suggested. I'd really appreciate any help here.

10 reasons not to bother fighting global warming
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, January, 29, 2013, (9:26am)
Science writer Matt Ridley explains the 10 things he'd first need to hear before he agrees climate change really is dangerous and we should try to "stop" it.
An excerpt:
Given that we know that the warming so far has increased global vegetation cover, increased precipitation, lengthened growing seasons, cause minimal ecological change and had no impact on extreme weather events, I need persuading that future warming will be fast enough and large enough to do net harm rather than net good....
So I cannot see why this relatively poor generation should bear the cost of damage that will not become apparent until the time of a far richer future generation, any more than people in 1900 should have borne sacrifices to make people today slightly richer....
Finally, you might make the argument that even a very small probability of a very large and dangerous change in the climate justifies drastic action. But I would reply that a very small probability of a very large and dangerous effect from the adoption of large-scale renewable energy, reduced economic growth through carbon taxes or geo-engineering also justifies extreme caution. Pascal's wager cuts both ways.
At the moment, it seems highly likely that the cure is worse than disease. We are taking chemotherapy for a cold.
So how much cooler has the world become, thanks to this sacrifice?
Peak retail industry body the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) today supported the Australian Industry Group's (Ai Group) findings that surveyed business' costs had increased by 14.5 percent on average as a direct result of the carbon tax.
ARA Executive Director Russell Zimmerman said it supported ARA data from a survey* conducted in late 2012 showing 80 percent of retailers felt their business had been negatively impacted since the introduction of the carbon tax in July 2012.
What's been the gain from this pain?
(No link to press release.)
Meanwhile, the world seems to be flourishing under global warming. Never have we grown such crops:
Global production of corn, wheat and rice have all more than doubled since 1970 as global warming occurred. Corn production, the current flavor of the week for Internet fear-mongering, has more than tripled since 1970. So, too, has global vegetable production as a whole.
A table of crop yields here. Someone on the Press Council should take note, for reasons I am not allowed to divulge.
(Thanks to reader Craig.)
Have Your Say
Every generation which follows this current Labor Government will find get a good laugh at the knuckleheads who thought they could control the weather.

Of course Dave, the biggest unanswered question of all.
If we reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the level Labor and the Greens dictate, where do the plants get their carbon dioxide from to convert via photo-synthesis into oxygen - you, know the stuff we breathe in?
All flora will die and so will every breathing creature. This is the natural end game of climate madness.
I know ridiculous. But no more so than the notion that carbon dioxide is responsible for phantom "global warming".
actually drought and flood tend not to increase vegetation. and also describe what kind of vegetation? toxic plants and weeds also thrive on c02. increased precipitation in the form of increased snow fall and flood damages the economy. extreme weather likewise. ''far richer '' future generations? the global economy is about to collapse. i did not know unemployment and massive debt make the average person richer? the comments about the climate having no drastic effects is not born out by what we are seeing now. in future it will get worse. i think there are a ''100'' reasons not to take this article seriously
Tue 29 Jan 13 (09:51am)
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:54am)
You should run a dooms day cult Robert. World's going to end, we'll all be broke, the planet will be burning…
Drink the Kool-aid…
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:55am)
So Robert, are you trying to say that this country was never subject to drought and floods before somebody conjured up the terms "global warming" and "climate change"? I think this guy was talking in a global context?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:02am)
for crying out loud get over yourself Robert, you are definitely not on my must read list.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:03am)
NASA disagrees with, no sorry the world disagrees with you. The earth has greened big time in the last 20 years. So to burst your myth with facts
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:05am)
So you use your own speculation as evidence for further speculation.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:05am)
Hah, so no attempt at answering the questions, just the usual warming nonsense propaganda. Booooring.
Love how you warn the world economy is about to collapse, first of all, no it's not. A few countries are collapsing under the weight of their own government debts (caused by welfare and other leftist policies) but by and large the world economy will power on.
The West might be stupid enough to move to the left, but the rest of the world has learned from their own mistakes.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:21am)
actually drought and flood tend not to increase vegetation.
Except for examples like the Nile running through the Sahara desert.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:06pm)
robert, you are truly not up with the game. Have you considered doing something else other than wasting everybodies time writing up your illogical thoughts? I was thinking more along the lines of bait for great white shark watchers.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:10pm)
Well, the Amazon will be fine…
But you'll ignore it. It's only a peer-reviewed and published scientific paper.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:15pm)
" in future it will get worse."
There is ONE reason not to take you seriously.
Do you have previous proof of the success of your "future" climate predictions?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:42pm)
'i think...'
' i did not know unemployment and massive debt make the average person richer?'
And who's responsible for that in Australia
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:48pm)
What happened to your Capital Letters?
Did Gerbil Worming get them too?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:49pm)
I can think of 100 reasons not to take your comment seriously as well.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:52pm)
Robert, as a botanist I can assure you that all plants regardless of there perceived economic values thrive on CO2. You truly are an idiot.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:26pm)
You do realise that the Sahara is once again becoming fertile, don't you?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:26pm)
...and "1000" reasons not to take robert of cronulla/campsie/canberra seriously.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:40pm)
List the 100 reasons.
By the way, can you read a weather map?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (03:29pm)
Robert, even the IPCC explicitly assumes that future generations will be much richer than today's. By the end of next century, according to the AR4 report if I recall, it projects that the average person in the developing world will enjoy a standard of living roughly equal to today's average Westerner.
Surely you wouldn't dispute the IPCC consensus? Not when the science is settled!
Andrew, you are sending mixed messagers again.
You keep telling us that Man made climate change is not real. In fact many of you supporters claims that its all a Left wing con.
Yet here you are linking to an article that says man made climate change is real.
From the article…
That the climate has changed because of man-made carbon dioxide I fully accept.
What exactly are you sceptical of Andrew? Is it AGW full stop, or just the predictions?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (09:58am)
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:17am)
You do understand that AGW is a Hypothesis don't you? Yet to be proven with real world, physical evidence.
The Hypothesis is very attractive to some people, Entrepreneurs and the Gullible alike. A 'problem' has been found, and here is a quick 'fix' I can sell you to solve the problem. Much like exercise equipment advertised on TV to Target weight loss, we know this is false as it is impossible to target weight loss, but yet thousands are sold each day… Humans know that they are buying into a lie, but it is what some want to hear, so they keep buying in hope.
Tim Flannery did not say, extremes in weather are the new norm so the common sense thing to do, would be build as many dams as possible for when the big floods arrive, as this will save water for future dryer times, and save Human Life. No, he sold an idea, a false idea. Taxpayer funded.
"Is it AGW full stop, or just the predictions?" They are one and the same, you have been trying to prove your hypothesis with failed predictions.
Could someone please provide an example of this increase in severe weather events? I live in the Far North and it is all normal up here.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:34am)
What exactly are you sceptical of Andrew?
Now, read the following sentence to the one you quoted. You are either being deliberately misleading or you simply don't pay attention to what you are reading (thus invalidating any opinion you have on the subject).
What's to be skeptical of? Simply (to remind you once again), how much influence humans are having (estimates range from the immesurable minute to the minute) and whether or not a warmer world will be worse for us when warmer weather has shown to have many positive benefits (far outweighing the negative ones). Finally, if this IS an issue to worry about, what is the most cost effective way of dealing with it? Warmists say "kill all economies" realists say "adapt as we always have".
Do you not read arguments that kill your world view, or are you simply incapable of taking in new evidence and refining your position?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:52am)
Yet again you illustrate your inability to comprehend. Andrew is not saying this the author does. As is the case with many of your ilk who now understand where we sceptics have been coming from for the last few years he is still hedging his bets. Simple fact is that many high profile warmists are backpedalling as fast as they can as the case against AGW firms.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:18pm)
"What exactly are you sceptical of Andrew? Is it AGW full stop, or just the predictions?"
The predictions. Unfortunately the alarmists seem to think that if you question the predictions, if you show information that contradicts the 'groupthink', you are a 'denier'.
Do you believe all the catastrophic predictions made about AGW?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:33pm)
:SIGH: Here we go again, Jordo. Please point out to me where in the quoted article it says 'man-made climate change'. You really do enjoy making a fool out of yourself don't you? Only a fool would deny that climate change exists and only a fool would believe that man's piddly contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere is responsible for it. Oh yeah, and only an idiot of the highest caliber would believe that we can control mother nature with a tax.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:25pm)
So, given that you do believe in AGW, does this mean that you fully accept the premise of the article?
In any case, whilst I don't wish to speak for Andrew, I'm sure that I have read and heard him say that he accepts that mankind may be having some impact on climate change. That is certainly the view of most sceptics.
Furthermore, whilst you subscribe to an ideoloy that is oppossed to the idea of considering and discussing alternative points of view, non-extermists are not.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:35pm)
Mr. Jordon, never admit to the teacher that you aren't paying attention.
What part of "climate change hoax" don't you understand?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:46pm)
Andrew never has to admit he is wrong. He just moves on to other ways to hammer left wingers, his reason d'etre. If all else fails, he is just a bloke sitting at a computer making comments.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:56pm)
You miss the point as usual Mr Jordon. Once again you question the man in order to obscure the argument, rather than address the points or the science or even the article.
Your concern over apparent hypocricy by skeptics is misplaced Mr Jordon.
you seem to be confused with the competing climate science. We skeptics are not debating CO2's physical properties.... Just its effects Mr Jordon. Surely you can understand that small, but important point?
The accepted theory of climate is that Climate variation is natural....
...Thus it is up to climate scientists to actually show via observation and reproducibility that their new hypothesis about climate changes, The AGW hypothesis, is correct.... Not for the sceptics to prove it, or otherwise.
Thus we can hold several opinions. It is our prerogative.... However our contention is still simply, that Climate variation is natural and human influences are lost within the background noise of that natural variation… The observations bare this out.
It is also quite obvious that the Earth's Climate operates within very narrow parameters throughout its 4.5 billion year history and by that very fact the system is the sum of Negative feedbacks and not Positive..... Thus the Climate system is stable.
There are no "tipping points" in regard to CO2… So the Catastrophism associated with the more extreme proponents of the AGW Hypothesis is wrong.... and changing society based on that catastrophism is harmful.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (02:13pm)
You keep telling us that Man made climate change is not real
No, he hasn't been saying that. There are other people on this forum that might have that view, but Andrew has never actually said man isn't warming the planet fullstop. He may have said something to the effect of "man isn't warming the planet as expected".
Anyway your inability to understand most things is why you think otherwise.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (03:31pm)
Firstly, the quote you cite is from Matt Ridley, not Andrew Bolt. Bolt may agree with the thrust of Ridley's article without endorsing every word of it.
Secondly, I'm not sure that Bolt has ever said that climate change is not a fact, or that humans have not contributed to it - that sounds like the mythical 'denialist' bogeyman that so many of you imagine.
He's gnashing his gums. Nobody's listening.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (09:59am)
Chemo for a cold, I can't add to that. If the dumb electorate had to take the chemo instead of wasting the money, I wonder what the response would be then?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:00am)
Instead of another piece of opinionated scientific rubbish, how about promoting the scientific reality from the US National Academy of Sciences: Climate Change: Lines of Evidence videos
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:12am)
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:15pm)
Trolling over here now, nuttynag? Got smacked down nicely over at JoNova's the other day…
"If you rely on Monckton for your AGW/CC science, you only exemplify the fallacy and desperation of your arguments!"
"You rely on John Cook the cartoonist. What's the difference?"
Anyway, where's my Global Warming dude?
"The Met Office now confirms on its climate blog that no significant warming has occurred recently: 'We agree with Mr Rose that there has only been a very small amount of warming in the 21st Century.'"
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:07pm)
"The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't"
(Kevin Trenberth
head of the Climate Analysis Section at the USA National Center for Atmospheric Research)
Even the IPCC are recanting a number of their statements regarding AGW
Your post is shrill......and you are one of the shrillest!!
Tue 29 Jan 13 (01:24pm)
So you want to substitute one piece of "opinionated scientific rubbish" with another piece of "opinionated scientific rubbish".
Nice argument from authority though.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (02:09pm)
Yeah, and the National Academy of Sciences back in the 1970s predicted global cooling to a new ice age! See: http://denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm
So much for the supposed infallibility of scientific bodies and politicised science.
The fact is that there is NO hard evidence of (a) a warming world (even the British Met Office and NOAA admits that global temperature has flatlined for the past 15 years), and (b) that even if there is such evidence, there is NO proof that increased CO2 caused it. Good science examines ALL the possible factors; it does not cherry-pick the one that suits a certain agenda; and it will NOT commit the post hoc fallacy (false cause) to "establish" a preconceived conclusion. The latter is the tawdriest of propaganda, yet it has become a commonplace in this whole argument.
1. Computer models are NOT evidence. They are mere results from the input of information. Remember the GIGO principle!
2. Heat waves, extreme weather events, contraction of Arctic ice &c;are NOT evidence. As you and your ilk never tire of reminding us, weather is not climate, and to establish global trends we need global data, not anecdotal information from this or that place which happens to suit the preconception.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:15am)
Climate change upwards is good.
Tasmania becomes like Victoria
Victoria becomes like NSW
NSW becomes like Q'ld.
SA becomes like NT.
The corals in the barrier reef stretch further south, The northern ones become more like corals of the warmer seas.
It's good good good.
That person says that the rain that falls will not run off. Take him for a trip to the NT and Qld during the wet season.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:17am)
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:05pm)
Actually the reef doesn't move south because there is very little continentals shelf for them to migrate to.
The GBR is set on a massive area of shallow shelf.
At the moment, it seems highly likely that the cure is worse than disease. We are taking chemotherapy for a cold.
Not even a sniffle yet, alas, and unlikely to ever be… Old Mother Earth is too smart and too perfect in her independent operational integrity for these disingenuous imbeciles…
One day vain human beings might twig to that fact and actually turn their time and attention to doing something productive.. I won't be holding my breath for that little occurrence though, given my experience of human nature!!!
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:28am)
Now here is a scientist applying cold hard (un-emotional/political) facts AND common sense.
This article should be everywhere and taught in schools.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:33am)
Yea, let's take climate advice from the man to almost destroyed the english financial system when the Bank he was a chairman of had the biggest run in British Financial history, and he had to be bailed out by the taxpayer that the hates so much.
A Fitting champion for your ideology you pick Andrew, har har har, but it's your kid you condemn to a miserable world with that pick, not you so you and the bottom-feeding aristocrat can continue to be cavalier with your kids lives.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:36am)
I'd first like to see Combet and Rudd vacate their seaside villas and Flannery vacate his riverside property.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:40am)
From what the east coast has experienced this week the weather is getting more extreme: from heatwave to flood? Twisters and waterspouts?
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:53am)
One thing I wouldn't need to hear before deciding whether or not global warming is dangerous: Matt Ridley's opinion.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (10:54am)
Being one of the lucky ones to have read Prof Plimer's book on climate change, I haven't started trying to fight it. It is a natural.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:26am)
Pascal's Wager - brilliant. It goes like this: I'm not sure if there is a God, but because they say that hell is very scary I'll believe anyway just in case. In climate science it's not called Pascal's Wager, it's called the precautionary principle. 'Precautionary principle' has eight syllables, compared to 'just in case' (three). So when dumb people say it they feel smart.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:32am)
The Esky still keeps the beer cold, nothing has changed, there is no warming. This experiment is not costly and you'll feel good doing it.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (11:59am)
Andrew: if you won't look at the science stats, just look to the people on the front line of climate change—the insurance industry. Premiums for storm damage are rocketing because the frequency and intensity of storms has dramatically increased, in-line with all climate change predictions. Speak to insurers of strata dwellings in FNQ. The situation is at breaking point, and the Fed Govt has turned its back. With all respect: going on, as you do, about the 'fantasy' of climate change when the reality is hitting people very hard in the hip pocket (many are losing their homes because they can't afford the premiums) increasing looks like either wilful blindness or stupidity.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:00pm)
Good one Max.
It's about time WARMISTS answered your questions, which are now being asked openly by real scientists, but are avoided like the plague by Flannery and his Gillard managed puppet cohorts.
The extent of the CAGW HOAX is gradually being exposed as REAL temperature and climate data are compared with Mann's hockey stick cartoon, hyped up IPCC computer generated garbage and a rent seeking climate change industry that is about to be "extincted". (borrowed from Bobbie)
Wake up pollies, Boris has already beaten you to the anti CAGW gravy train express, although you can still hop on as it reverses past.
Tue 29 Jan 13 (12:43pm)
Very well written article by Mr Riddly. Indeed, they are reasons worthy of the utmost thought.

I've been sitting on so much EXCLUSIVE RHOA tea this week because my exclusive sources are finally coming through with so much information. So let me sort through it all in some sort of cohesive way because different information came from different sources and I need to weave everything together. Let's start with the three women I know of who are testing. Then we will get into what is going on with each of the housewives so far, and pop some popcorn because it is juicy.
Leilani Collier
Leilani is a friend of Sheree Whitfield's. She is a realtor and has two kids. She was filmed at Sheree's son Kairo's birthday party recently. She was also at a made for TV birthday party for Porsha over the weekend. Of the three women, she has done the least amount of testing. I think she will be an FOH or just be around in a few scenes. I don't see her having a peach when Sheree doesn't even have one yet. I'm not sure if she was at Kenya's housewarming. This one probably has more dues to pay.

It's been a long haul for Dakota Partners, Inc., which has a permit to build the Village Green, 120 rental apartment units with 40 for people with low or moderate incomes, in Independence Park in Barnstable. Now the proponents want the zoning board's approval to divide their 14.32-acre parcel into two lots to be developed by two separate limited liability companies that will be associated with Dakota. The change would facilitate a funding switch from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership Permanent Loan Program to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program.The board will hear the request Aug. 14 at 7 p.m.

It's no contest. The hottest tourist attraction in Arlington, Massachusetts is the Burnt Food Museum.
You don't need to know your ash from a hole in the ground to enjoy extra-blackened exhibits like Pizza Toast, Thrice Baked Potato and Mmmm... Soy Pups.
The one-of-a-kind museum was founded in the late 1980s by primary contributor Deborah Henson-Conant who was preparing hot apple cider when a phone call diverted her attention long enough for the cider to transform into cinder.
That initial attraction � Free Standing Hot Apple Cider � remains on display today.

Journal Journal: The Kevlar Kandidate Launches His 2020 Kampaign
The only thing Pence got right in this stop is that Drumpf won't be there. The Kevlar Kandidate however knows this is a can't-lose situation for himself; if he manages to deliver Wisconsin to Drumpf (who will still lose the national election) he will get credit for pulling off a successful voter-suppression effort. If Drumpf doesn't win, Kevlar can say it was because the anti-Drumpf movement in his state was too strong. Either way he keeps his own brand in front of the TV cameras a little longer before he takes up residence in Iowa in December.

Man charged in wheelchair skirmishDecember 03,2012ST. JOHNSBURY A 71-year-old Vermont man is facing charges after allegedly trying to run down an elderly neighbor with his motorized wheelchair.
Gordon Kiefer of St. Johnsbury pleaded not guilty last week to a misdemeanor charge of violating an abuse prevention order.
The Caledonian-Record reported that 70-year-old Barbara Elzohairy told police that Kiefer came at her one afternoon last month while she was looking in a shoe store window on a downtown sidewalk. She said she jumped into a doorway to avoid being hit.
Elzohairy lives in the same downtown apartment building as Kiefer and has had a prevention from abuse order against him since June. She said this was the second time Kiefer had tried to hurt her with his wheelchair.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON - Head coach Eric Ramey has announced that the Castleton softball team will once again...

worship: john 5:1-15 part two
Jesus' response. "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." The first thing he says is "Get up!", which implies a few things. That the man is capable of getting up But that it is still a choice for him to get up Jesus is telling the man what is possible, but it is his […]

The healing at the pool. 1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the […]

life: being a man
… is a lot harder than I imagined when I was growing up. Part of it is to do with the high expectations placed upon men in society, but the other more insidious part is the cultural shift, where it is acceptable for men to be incompetent. And not just incompetent, but aimless. There's a […]
life: comfortable
No one aims to lose, but they lose because they are doing just enough all the time. Good Times with Ben Do we really want to win? And taking a step back, want comes from true belief. Has our faith been built up enough, to allow us to want to win?
medical: anxiety
Just a thought that came up in a discussion with our GP supervisor today. He said that you're not truly alive if you're anxious. Because anxiety is never concerned about the present, it's always about the past or the future. And that means your mind/attention is focused on a temporal space that isn't the present. […]
wear: ASOS Slim Fit Cutaway Collar Shirt
Suddenly being somewhere in my early twenties has put me in the position to dress nicely more often. And one of the things we've learnt this year on clinical attachment is that there's a difference between dressing well and dressing appropriately. A friend of mine recently got into Ralph Lauren shirts, and made the (retrospective) […]
wear: Jack & Jones Vintage Always V-neck Jumper
This is a great jumper. Found it at ASOS and got it in several colours to make the bulk of my jumper wardrobe for Clinical attachment. Good quality cotton, incredible warmth, ribbed cuffs and elbow pads for character make these easy to wear and a welcome change from the normal male medical student's uniform of: […]
reading: Quitter [chapter 1]
Jon Acuff is a blogger/writer/speaker who writes at Stuff Christians Like. Quitter is a book about closing the gap between your day job and your dream job. In a society where it is so easy to hate the 9-5 and love the everything else, I thought it'd be a good read. So here's chapter 1. […]
basics: james 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. In Christian-talk, joy is something much deeper and much more resilient than happiness. Happiness is fleeting, but joy is something akin to peace. The solid, sure knowledge that you walk in […]

The Amazing Race Gets a 13th Season
I'm a big fan of serialized shows, and in general not a big fan of sitcoms or reality shows. They can be entertaining even when they are complete crap, but I don't like that guilt factor when watching a show. However, there are two reality shows I am big fans of, and they are two […]

text: StrangeFlow - Rare 50's EDM/Bass Tune Unearthed! by StrangeFlow (official) published on 2012-09-10T18:19:05Z Edward Maniths, from the Detroit Audio Discovery Society (DADS) reported today that an old electronic-music record was unearthed, after digging through dusty old record crates in a now-abandoned (and little known) Motown recording studio in what many people believe to be the 'scariest city in America.' "Yea, well, thing is... most Motown records were not recorded anywhere near this old building," says Maniths, as he stands outside Beatflip Studio, in downtown Detroit, "yea, I mean... I guess there were an offshoot, trying to compete with the big boys, but their records were a little bizarre for the Motown crowd." It was true. There were a few heavy-bass tunes that made their way to vinyl, 50 to 60 years ago, as beatniks and underground musicians would pool money together (selling marijuana in downtown basement parties) in what was, once, a thriving Michigan city. Secret underground 1950s bass-music parties were a rare - yet interesting - subculture of the beats. "Ahh, you found it? Wow! I didn't think any of that one still existed! Ha! Oh my!" reports Chester Burgh, a self-identified, "Bassnik," from the '50s." "Yea, you know what the hell happened, don't you? Our music was too scary! Even for Detroit! Ha!" said Chester, as he went to grab a cigarette, and I informed him that there was no smoking in our office. "No smoking in here? Ah," he gave a disgusted look, "see now, that right there is what we were rebelling against. The MAN! You can't tell me not to smoke! I just wanna bass out and listen to some late 50's BASS SHIT and do my thing, ya dig?" I did not dig, and as he went to light his cigarette a second time, I informed him that I would have to ask him to leave. "Well, fine, whatever. This party's gotten a lot less hatty then I wanted, anyway. Narc." I went back to Edward Maniths, who was, compared to Chester, an uptight nerd. A 'square,' to use the parlance of a forgotten time. I wanted to verify that the recording was legitimate. "Yes, indeed, it's legitimate! There's a picture of some of the prominent poets in the scene," he said, pointing out Kerouac and Ginsberg, and scratched his head at the other members of the photo, adding, "hmm.. you know, I know I should know who these others are, but I guess I'm not really an expert on 1950s culture." Extremely irritated, disappointed, and at this point, a little hungry, I decided it was time to have a listen to this unearthed gem of a recording. Well.... it was breathtaking, to say the least... Though, in fairness, most of the tracks are hard to listen to, as they are 'too subversive' for me, and likely, for anyone else. Plus, the record is very scratched. "Well, undoubtedly, this record is the kind of thing that contributed to rave culture in Detroit, a few decades later. I'm guessing there are two or three of these records floating around, to this day...And as for the sounds? Well, there were a few drumboxes at the time, a lot of them just kinda' hacked together by some of the more tech-savvy Beats... They made something that sounds like the TR-808, but long ahead of it's time... Yea, the grime kids, the 2-steppers, the trip-steppers, the hop-hippers, the trappers and the jukers? All those guys basically stole what is on that record there, the one that's just been discovered..." said Chester, sweating. Chester had followed me home, and was now answering questions I wasn't asking. "Oh, yea, you know, it was a golden time for underground bass music. Kids would head down to the basement, smoke up, listen to some jazz, then, if shit really got cookin, it'd be time for some BASS! You know? Oh yea, there was a whole scene! There were the Bassboys, the Bassniks, the Bassa Nova, Kody B & the Boys of Bass, uh... 50s-Bassernauts... (that was my group, the 50-Bassernauts - we were so hatty!) and uh, let's see... the track you're listening to? The guy who put that one together - I sold him weed, once. Smart cat. Ugly, though. Jesus, really ugly. You know? Like, like even for a guy from Ohio. He was from Ohio. You know?" "I'm not sure what you mean by that, Chester. I AM FROM OHIO." "Right, well, uh, you're one of the good ones, then, you know?" I slammed my box of Wheaties to the ground (which annoyed me, as I had grown really hungry the last several hours, and wanted nothing more than to eat some fucking Wheaties ) and I showed Chester the door. He didn't understand my obvious hint, so I began hitting him. "Woah, mellow out, bro." said Chester. I did not mellow out, but eventually, Chester left. I hate Chester. But this is a good recording. Rare 50s bass music. Kinda sounds like something StrangeFlow would do. But... I mean, like, a 50s version of StrangeFlow.. I don't know, that's just the impression I get, personally. Check it out.

Have you ever considered adding an editable synonym substitution list? Looking in my list of tags I have several tags that mean basically the same thing (ie. MN=Minnesota, AHA=American Heart Association, nursing=nurses, etc).
I understand you have the ability to block 'noise' so I guess you could keep one of the terms from being created but you run the risk of no term being created at all then for that post. Has anyone else seen a need for this?
