I am in!!!! I started the C25K tonight and let me tell you, whooo hooo.....I feel great because I accomplished it but boy was it challenging. I am by far a runner and never have been. I was one of those kids in school that would walk to mile run. I have always been a big (large frame) girl and I feel uncomfortable running, but after using the podcast I believe I will be able to accomplish this.
I soooo want to become a runner and I hope I can inspire and be inspired.
If anyone has any tips or insights please feel free to tell me....again I am not and never have been a runner!!!!
I did my second day of week one tonight. The first time out, I used a watch with interval timers. This time, I used Robert Ullery's podcast. I thought it was a lot easier with the podcast. I plan on sticking with that for the entire nine weeks.
I agree, Jim.
It makes a huge difference with the podcast - you can just tune out to everything else and get into the running frame of mind.
Robert will tell you when to change from walk to run, and the music is really good, too.
I think the only problem could be if you are too 'zoned out' and don't notice traffic!
I am lucky as I can run and walk through some great bush tracks just next to my farm so cars are no problem - just the odd kangaroo :-)
50-something fat nanna
Working on the fat but happy to be a nanna !
I'm starting tomorrow, so I'll join!
I'm 38, and was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so even though I'm not overweight, I need to get in shape. And anything is better than the shape I'm in now.
I've been walking 2-3 miles a day, every day for the past 2 weeks. Now I'm ready to start running. I've never been a runner, so this should be interesting and hopefully fun. My new running shoes will be here tomorrow afternoon, and I'll break them in with W1D1. No time like the present!
Good luck to everyone who started this week, and I hope to see you at the end of that 5k in 9 weeks.

Hello everyone! This site seemed like a great place for encouragement and motivation, so I thought I'd join in.
I just did W1D1 yesterday and it went great. It might sound silly, but I'm keeping a blog of my activities at http://bugsfitness.blogspot.com to try and keep me honest. In the past, my workout routines usually failed within the first few weeks because I would overdo it. I'm really trying this time to pace myself and set small goals.
I slept so much better last night after finishing W1D1 last night. This morning there are a few things sore but not too bad. Tomorrow is D2 for me....wish me luck!! Good luck to everyone.
Note: Robert Ullrey's podcast make it so easy to follow and has great music to get you in the groove of walk/run.
Hey everyone!
My name is Denielle and I'm from NJ. I'm 27 and just started C25K on Monday, 09/28.
I completed W1D2 last night (had to do them back to back due to a scheduling issue). W1D2 was definitely harder than W1D1 - my back and thighs are sore today!
I have been using some of the podcasts with the hip-hop music which have been great. I used to walk/run on the treadmill at the gym a few years back but due to a car accident, had some back pain when I tried to get into shape again... so, I'm resolving to really give it my best shot this time.
started 1st C25K on 09/28/09, completed program
re-started C25K on 10/10/11 at W4D1
Hi Everyone -
So I completed W1D1 on Monday & today is the day for W1D2. This is my first time running outside and it was really difficult for me. I think my course had too many steep hills to keep me motivated...any tips on running outside that anyone is willing to share?
I keep telling myself to just keep putting one foot in front of the other...also I am going to download one of the podcasts to keep me entertained...
A little about me: I am 30 and married with no kids but tons of animals. I work in a relatively stressful envrionment (who doesn't) and got out of the habit of working out. I am looking to lose a couple of pounds and also to destress myself. I have friends who run who say it does get addicting....and I am trying to get there.
Good luck everyone!

Posted on 04/16/2014 12:04:10 PM PDT by Dallas59
The U.S. government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded.
The report, "Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens" (PDF), used extensive policy data collected between 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the U.S. political system.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Throughout history, oligarchies have been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist) or relatively benign. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy. However, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group, and do not have to be connected by bloodlines as in a monarchy.
"Major Study Finds The US Is An Oligarchy"
And almost all of the support/own DEMOCRATS.
I've argued that we are a corporate oligarchy for years. Every politician is persuaded (controlled, paid off) by some corporate lobby or another.
I won't know what to think about this until Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton tell me what to think.
Plutocratic Oligarchy run by Crony Capitalists like Soros, Gates and their ilk.
Only academics are just now figuring that out.
Most of us could have saved them a ton of money and effort. We don't need a study to tell us this.
I can agree with this with these changes.
Concentration of wealth and power exist in almost all societies.
We're no different, but at least we had social mobility.
Remember, "Under capitalism, the rich become powerful." That might seem like a bad thing, until you get the rest of the quote: "under communism, the powerful become rich."
i would agree, except most big oil is more right-leaning. Deep pockets, those.
All in all, I believe that left-right issues are sidebars... magician sleight-of-hand to keep our attention away from the real issues.
"As Plato had perceived in the Republic, Aristotle also saw that a prerequisite to the transition from an oligarchy to a popular constitution is the arming of the people, who would overpower the oligarch's troops.
"Furthermore, tyranny derives from the oligarchy's, "Mistrust of the people; hence they deprive them of arms, ill-treat the lower class, and keep them from residing in the capital.
"These are common to oligarchy and tyranny."
War, taxation and public works keep the people poor and preoccupied, perpetuating the power of the tyrant.
"It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his subjects poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion." "
"That Every Man Be Armed"
by Stephen P Halbrook.
Page 92
If we are an oligarchy, we will not be for much longer.
The Oligarchs forgot to disarm the populace first; cementing their downfall and ruin.
Crony capitalists to provide the money.
Entitlement army to provide the votes.
It's a formula for Democrat success.
Yes and no. Yes for obvious reasons but it is not 'just' that. It is a very literal 'idiocracy' and one need only read the daily activities to see idiocy being the dominant method of governance. I wish that was a joke but it is not.
I agree with you. The question, however, is who is at fault? Is it the evil corporations corrupting the politicians with their dirty money? Or, is it the government syndicate shaking down the corporations in a pay to play situation?
The reason to ask "who is at fault?" is because the belief of who is at fault drives the proposed solution. My concern is that when faced with the realization of a corporate oligarchy, most people tend to believe that it is the corporations that are to blame so what we need is a government that is bigger and more powerful than the corporations to reign them in. Personally, I believe it is the government that is to blame. The prime example was the anti-trust shakedown of Microsoft back in the day when they weren't playing along with the campaign donations and lobbying game.
Big government, big business and big labor are all in bed with each other. However, only one of them can "legally" deprive you of life, liberty and property. Diminish the power of government and corporations and labor have to compete in the marketplace against their competitors rather than curry favor with the powers that be to take down rivals. Unfortunately, the result of this article about the oligarchy will be a push for more government which will only exacerbate the problem.
It's not just Deocrats. The Pubbies are equally complicit. Rush's "ruling class" commentary from a few years ago was spot on.
you, sir, GET it.
Ochlocracy — rule of the mob.
The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein
Eliminate the complex tax code, and our politicians become far far less powerful and less worth buying.
The problem is not that the corporations buy influence, it's that the government sells it.
That's a Presidentially myopic perspective. The Executive has great influence, but does not write laws.
The Legislative branch does, and congressmen are much cheaper to buy than Presidents.
Exactly. Well put.
You're right. Like the homeless, these studies dry up and disappear during Democratic Administrations.
But the law is made by one class of men. Law cannot exist without the sanction and the support of a preponderant force, it must finally place this force in the hands of those who legislate. This inevitable phenomenon explains the almost universal perversion of law. Instead of being a check upon injustice, it becomes its most invincible instrument.
Frederic Bastiat, 1850
I've assumed for years that none of us have any idea who pulls the strings of the shadow government that is currently ruling over us.
The more power the law gives to an office, the more people will try to have influence over the individual who holds the office.
It is human nature. The founders of the Republic were students of human nature and wrote the Constitution to protect against it.
It worked for a while.
Elites pointing out the country is run by elites. Interesting.
This is not "new" news. Michael Savage has been telling his talk radio audience that the US is an Oligarchy for years.
To me the interests of the vast majority of the people of this country have been suffering since Reagan left office, IMO.

Nice style
Weakest in the series. And dangerous. Kids learn through mimicry. This potentially encourages them to stick things in light sockets. Very surprised this got past the client. And a shame because it buts a bad taint on an otherwise excellent campaign.
You've obviously never put your fingers in a light socket. I did as a kid and thought I'd learned to fly, the kick was so bodyslap.
The client? Which client? I don't think this has a client....

Fine MotorPreschoolersKindergartners5 Comments
A quick paper clip craft for the kids to make is a simple paper clip chain that's excellent for fine motor skills!
Something I'm learning from the supplies activities poll I asked last week is that paper clips are in most of your homes.
And yep, I have them too.
All that is needed is paper clips. Just paper clips. Easy enough. So go raid your desk drawer.
And then the kids simply go to work hooking the paper clips together to make a simple chain.
I had to show George how to hook them together, but once shown, he got the hang of it pretty quickly!
It was a great fine motor activity for him to work his fingers and really concentrate on how to do it. Good for Henry too!
The boys decided what they wanted to do with their paper clip chains, and it was going to be a necklace. (We like to make simple necklaces!)
George thought a bracelet first and quickly changed his mind when he had already made a chain longer than what was needed.
Henry kept trying his chain around his neck to see if it was long enough and while he could get it around his neck just fine, he wasn't able to then pull it over his head when he hooked it together. So he had multiple attempts making his chain long enough.
Eventually it was plenty long and he decided to add a ring he got for Valentine's Day as a decoration.
The boys wore them for the afternoon, but it didn't take long for them to decide it was itchy and the paper clips kept poking at their neck.
Henry wanted to add pom poms to it to soften it up! Not sure if a paper clip could thread a pom pom or not. But that might be worth a try. We never did try it.
Since we've made necklaces with straws and now paper clips, what other common materials could be used to make a simple necklace?
My kids loved making this paper clip chain, so I'd love to find other simple ideas!

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles

In 1954, Richard Buckminster Fuller was granted U.S. Pat. No. 2,682,235 for geodesic domes, a method of enclosing space in architectural applications. The geodesic dome combines the structural advantages of the sphere (which encloses the most space within the least surface, and is strongest against internal pressure) with those of the tetrahedron (which encloses least space with most surface and has the greatest stiffness against external pressure). Subsequently, soccer ball shaped carbon molecules known as fullerenes or buckyballs were named for their resemblance to a geodesic sphere. But is not only certain carbon molecules where Nature uses sphere-like forms. Spheres can be found at all scales in both the inanimate and living world for the basic physical property of encapsulation. Spherical virus capsids (a capsid is the protein shell of a virus), for example, enclose space by using the geometry of the icosahedron, thus exploiting the economy of this form in terms of both surface area-to-volume ratio and genetic efficiency of subunit-based symmetric assembly. Many viruses' capsids use icosahedral symmetry to form particles ranging from 20 to 200 nanometers in size. Researchers have now begun to copy Nature's icosahedral-symmetry design principles for molecular containers, which could solve the problem of designing and synthesizing stable molecular containers having very large interior.Posted: Dec 20th, 2007
Looking at Nature as a successful design lab with millions of years of research experience, it is quite surprising that scientists haven't tried harder to copy some of Nature's more successful and impressive design blueprint. The list of actual commercialized biodesign-inspired products is very short. The most famous is Velcro, the hook-loop fastener that was invented in 1945 by Swiss engineer, George de Mestral. The idea came to him after he took a close look at the burrs (seeds) of burdock which kept sticking to his clothes and his dog's fur on their daily summer walks in the Alps. He examined their condition and saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion. And then, of course, there are the Wright Brothers, who modeled their planes on the structure of bird wings. Today, there are quite a number of terms such as bionics, biomimetics, biognosis, biomimicry, or even 'bionical creativity engineering' that refer to more or less the same thing: the application of methods and systems found in Nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The use of design concepts adapted from Nature is a promising new route to the development of advanced materials and increasingly nanotechnology researchers find nanostructures a useful inspiration for overcoming their design and fabrication challenges. Because biological structures are the result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, their designs possess many unique merits that would be difficult to achieve by a complete artificial simulation. However, utilizing them as biotemplates and converting them to inorganic material could be a highly reproducible and low-cost process for fabricating complex nanostructures with unique functions. Complex functional systems are still out of reach but the replication of biological structures is making good progress. A recent example is the fabrication of antireflection nanostructures by replicating fly eyes.Posted: Dec 19th, 2007
Even the smartest scientists can still learn from the dumbest animals - at least as far as materials science is concerned. Take for instance marine glass sponges such as the hexactinellid sponge Euplectella sp. which are considered to be one of the most primitive animals in existence. Nevertheless, they produce integrated composite materials with outstanding mechanical properties and researchers are interested in finding out how they do that and how this natural process could be copied and adapted for use in the fabrication of synthetic composite materials. Euplectella's bioglass filaments, for instance, exhibit a rather complex design, thus ensuring the control of both mechanical and chemical interfaces between the different components to overcome the brittleness of the main constituent material, glass. Scientists have found that the amazing properties of many biological high-performance materials such as bone or shells are a result of the structure and the interplay of the constituents. In other words, the hierarchical structure of composites determines their material properties, and not the type of the composite's constituents. Researchers in Germany have now reported a biomimetic approach for the fast fabrication of hierarchically structured peptide-silica fibers, mimicking the bio-silicification process of natural glass fibers.Posted: Dec 18th, 2007
As a critical component of optoelectronic devices, transparent conductive coatings pervade modern technology. The most widely used standard coating is indium tin oxide (ITO), used in nearly all flat panel displays and microdisplays. Causing problems for manufacturers, though, Indium is expensive and scarce and demand is increasing. From the depressed levels of $60/kg in 2002, indium prices rose to over $1,000/kg during the summer of this year. Recently, prices have fallen back to between $400-$500/kg. But, geologists say the cost of indium may not matter soon, because the earth's supply of this element could be gone within just a few years. In addition to the limited availability of Indium there are other reasons that make ITO and other metal oxides such as FTO (fluorine tin oxide) increasingly problematic for electronics manufacturers: the instability of these metal oxides in the presence of acid or base; their susceptibility to ion diffusion into polymer layers; their limited transparency in the near-infrared region; and lastly, the current leakage of FTO devices caused by FTO structure defects. This has made the search for novel transparent electrode materials with good stability, high transparency and excellent conductivity a crucial goal for optoelectronic researchers. Recent work by researchers in Germany exploits ultra-thin transparent conductive graphene films as window electrodes in solar cells.Posted: Dec 17th, 2007
As an emerging science, nanotoxicology is expanding the boundaries of traditional toxicology from a testing and auxiliary science to a new discipline where toxicological knowledge of nanomaterials can be put to constructive use in therapeutics as well as the development of new and better biocompatible materials. Until now, though, no one has been able to pin-point which properties determines or influences the inherent hazards of nanoparticles. Now, scientists have developed a framework that can be applied to a suggested hazard identification approach and is aimed at identifying causality between inherent physical and chemical properties and observed adverse effects reported in the literature.Posted: Dec 14th, 2007
Past studies of photo-responsive proteins have generally dwelled on applications for energy-saving computer displays, light-based computing or computer memory. The general theme in the research tends to rely on the controllable and quick state change of the protein. But, the ability of the protein to actually incite a physical change in a composite macroscopic system has been largely unexplored. Harnessing this ability of the protein to incite change in a polymeric material could have broad implications in the field of biomedical and materials engineering. Getting bacteriorhodopsin to 'play ball' with other bulk materials could render those materials sensitive to a light. As a stimulus, light is often much easier to control than those typically explored by researchers such as bulk pH, temperature or electric fields.Posted: Dec 13th, 2007
Given past revelations of previously top secret military technology programs there is a good chance that some 'black' projects somehwere tinker with advanced nanotechnology applications. But, you keepers of military secrets, relax. This Spotlight is not a piece of investigative journalism into the world of military black projects. It is the first in a series of eight scenarios that have just been published by the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology (CRN) - and we here at Nanowerk have posted the entire nanotechnology scenario project here. CRN's scenarios depict various versions of a near-future world into which transformative manufacturing concepts may emerge. Across eight separate storylines, an international team of policy, technology, and economic specialists organized by CRN imagined in detail a range of plausible, challenging events - from pandemics to climate crises to international conflicts - to see how they might affect the development of advanced nanotechnology over the next 15 years. Please keep in mind that this and the others seven scenarios are NOT predictions but fiction. CRN intends the scenarios to provide a springboard for discussion of molecular manufacturing policies and societal responses. While each scenario can be understood individually, the real value of the process comes from the comparison of multiple scenarios. A strategic response that appears robust in one scenario may be dangerous in another; an organization, community, or polity using these scenarios to consider how to handle the emergence of molecular manufacturing should strive for responses that are viable across multiple scenarios.Posted: Dec 12th, 2007
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown promise as an important new class of multifunctional building blocks and innovative tools in a large variety of nanotechnology applications, ranging from nanocomposite materials through nanoelectronics to biomedical devices (e.g. gene and drug carriers). The recent rapid development in nanotechnology has renewed the pressing demand for large-scale production of CNTs for potential applications in commercial products. The number of industrial-scale facilities for the increasingly low-cost production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) continues to grow, and with that the professional and public exposure to MWCNTs is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Owing to their unusual one-dimensional hollow nanostructure and unique physicochemical properties, CNTs are particularly useful as novel drug delivery tools and imaging agents. However, such biomedical, and many other related, applications will not be realized if there is no proper assessment of the potential hazards of CNTs to humans and other biological systems. This situation prompted a group of researchers to carry out the first genotoxicity study of nanomaterials. Although the health effects of nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention, the scientific community has thus far focused primarily on the studies of nanomaterials toxicity at the cellular level. Very little is known about the toxicity at the molecular level, or genotoxicity, of nanomaterials in mammalian cells. Researchers at the University of Dayton have assessed the DNA damage response to MWCNTs in mouse embryonic stem cells (ES). This new work emphasizes the importance of careful scrutiny of the genotoxicity of nanomaterials.Posted: Dec 11th, 2007

Aaron Holesgrove reported snake hissing in wall of rental home, so he left - but QCAT ruled he still had to pay rent
- From: The Courier-Mail
- February 18, 2014
THE sound of a hissing snake inside the walls of a Queensland rental home sent a tenant packing - although he never heard the disturbing noise himself.
After tenant Aaron Holesgrove's guest twice reported hearing the snake hissing and moving around inside the spare room wall, it was too much for the tenant.
He told Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal he terminated the tenancy, packed up and left after the agents took no action to find the snake.
More snake hiss-teria:
Monty Poothon: Snake takes over couple's toilet
Hissed off: Deadliest snake rampages through lounge room
Showdown: Snakes in marathon fight caught on video
Mr Holesgrove issued an agent at First National Real Estate with a notice to remedy the breach, saying the agency had not acted to remove the snake.
He was told to call the office straight away if he spotted the snake, keep it in sight, take a photo and call Jeff, a professional snake catcher, the tribunal heard.
After Mr Holesgrove moved out without notice, the agent filed a claim for compensation for unpaid rent, a breaking the lease fee, water use and repairs.
After two Justices of the Peace in QCAT allowed the agent's claim, Mr Holesgrove filed an appeal application.
He claimed the JPs erred in deciding the presence of a snake was not a ground for emergency repairs.
Although Mr Holesgrove filed a statement from his snake-fearing guest, supporting his application, the friend did not attend the tribunal hearing to give evidence.
Senior tribunal member Peta Stilgoe decided Mr Holesgrove's evidence was not credible without his guest being available for cross-examination.
"Mr Holesgrove admitted that when (the guest) pointed out the noises from the snake he could not hear them,'' Ms Stilgoe said.
Ms Stilgoe said after Mr Holesgrove asked for an emergency repair based on the hissing snake and the agent took no action he could have attended to the repairs himself.
But Mr Holesgrove said he could not afford to spend more than two weeks' rent to make repairs and the snake catcher's fee would have cost more than that.
Ms Stilgoe said the tenant could have applied to the tribunal for orders, but instead he simply left the tenancy without appropriate notice, breaching his tenancy agreement.
"He must bear the consequences of his actions," Ms Stilgoe said, refusing Mr Holesgrove leave to appeal.

Skip to comments.RFK, Jr. 15 months ago: Global warming means no snow or cold in DC
Posted on 02/07/2010 6:00:44 AM PST by Zakeet
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who flies around on private planes so as to tell larger numbers of people how they must live their lives in order to save the planet, wrote a column last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, D.C.
"In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today's anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don't own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers.
"In those days, I recall my uncle, President Kennedy, standing erect as he rode a toboggan in his top coat, never faltering until he slid into the boxwood at the bottom of the hill. Once, my father, Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy, brought a delegation of visiting Eskimos home from the Justice Department for lunch at our house. They spent the afternoon building a great igloo in the deep snow in our backyard. My brothers and sisters played in the structure for several weeks before it began to melt. On weekend afternoons, we commonly joined hundreds of Georgetown residents for ice skating on Washington's C&O Canal, which these days rarely freezes enough to safely skate.
"Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil and its carbon cronies continue to pour money into think tanks whose purpose is to deceive the American public into believing that global warming is a fantasy."

Another bit of sage Kennedy advice, this time from the clan's heroin using environmental lawyer guru.
Ugh. Another worse-than-useless Kennedy. How much more mileage can these pricks get out of JFK's assassination?
These guys are SO 20th century. Yesterday's news - go ahead and lecture, Junior, but nobody is listening.
Realizing how much power they assumed and how much freedom they have stolen doesn't make me want to laugh.
This is the biggest scam in the history of mankind. They are selling empty promises and paper certificates.
This garbage has made millions of dollars for Al Gore. He, and his co-conspirators, should be hauled into a courtroom somewhere and indicted for fraud.
If ENRON was a scandal, then the Global Warming ("Climate Change") fraud is Armageddon.
Mr. Kennedy was unavailable for comment...
Since the carbon offset certificates are made of paper; when it gets really cold, you can burn them for heat.
Yeah... he's freezing his a$$ off in Virginia.
Trust fund idiot children.
Democratic prayers were answered Friday night with an end to global warming and millions of "shovel-ready jobs created" by 27 inches of snow in DC, Virginia and Maryland.
What's with the genes in the kennedy family? Every one of the kennedys has embarrassed the human race one way or another. Kennedys: please go into seclusion and spend your dirty money in private.
He's probably in Brazil complaining about the heat.
Wow, a lying, self-absorbed, witless Kennedy?
That's a new one...
"It only stands to reason that where theres sacrifice, theres someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where theres service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master."
Ayn Rand
Or you can ball them up to make them a little softer and use them as toilet paper when you run out!
Where Dat?
Where Dat?
Where Dat Global Warming At?
That's choice!
....well Global Warming can also make freezing temperatures and snow too!
God has a sense of humor.
Now he is a partner in a private equity fund called Vantage Point Venture Partners, and they have invested in a windmill company called FloDesign, among other green companies. So he bangs the drum about planetary climate devastation, but if you buy his windmill the world will be saved. He is shilling to make money under the guise of being a savior to the planet. Gore is the same way. They should stop criticizing Exxon as a first step in the long 12 step program back from ugly hypocrisy.
Bobby, if you are listening, here is an interesting statistic concerning wind power: It takes an average of 3.3 metric tons per MegaWatt to build a natural gas fired plant. It takes 462 metric tons of steel per MW for a wind farm. That is because each MW of wind gets its own 20 story steel tower. Now Bobby, I know you are not technical, but do you know where steel comes from.....try coal as one of the ingredients. So the more wind you put up, the more you will flood the atmosphere with CO2 and the quicker you will bring us to the Al Gore "tipping point" which means for you, falling off the bar stool. It takes a wind farm years to break even on its CO2. Also each windmill needs a natural gas fired backup generator since the wind only blows 30% of the year. Wind power is killing our planet. Try nuclear, pebble bed or thorium, far superior and less environmental impact than destroying millions of acres and shoreline, and countless animals with steel intensive windmills.
Here is what I love about these guys. On the one hand they will make anecdotal observations supporting globull warming when convenient. This ass hat did that in relaying stories about snow fall and the memories of his childhood around the DC area then comparing it with current weather. Then when those observations are controverted by events they sniff "anecdotal observations have no bearing on the validity of globull warming". It really is frustrating because truth is not what is driving the debate. So if you are operating under the mistaken premise that truth matters and try to have a rational discussion about an irrational premise... Well, how does an argument like that ever turn out?
Elitist Twerp.
That's all. I have NO USE for any Kennedy.
Do you have to attend an ivy league school to become this arrogant, or is it that the arrogant attend these institutions.
Thar doesn't sound true.
it takes a special kind of snow to make an igloo and very low temperatures.
Say—is this the guy who did an "exposé" a while back on what he imagined to be an epidemic of anal assaults with penetrating objects?
A windmill in the ocean is twice the cost on land. Land based on $2500 per KW, in the water that is $5000.
The concrete and cabling costs are also multiples of a gas plant.
The ironic part is that all windmills shut down when the wind speed is above 35mph or else they will break apart. They cannot capture high speed wind energy. FloDesign is expected to do better since it is a radical new design, more like a jet turbine and no pin-wheel, but they do not yet have a working model.
If you have a windmill that takes decades to achieve break-even, it means you have a windmill that will not achieve break-even within its operational lifetime.
Similar deal with solar power. Making square miles of solar panels will involve huge amounts of pollution. Then you have solar panels that need to be kept clean (they don't work when encrusted with dirt and bird poop), using water and detergent. And by the time the solar panels have paid for themselves, they need to be replaced.
All I can hope for is that RFK Jr, and Al Gore are in this massive snow storm shivering in their darkened homes because their windmills froze up.
50+ inches of snow at my address so far this season, about 7 weeks.
I would like to actually see the proof of the snow he claims to have seen. As a person who was living at the time he claims to have experienced those events, I seriously doubt his "memories" are accurate.
RFK Jr, a nasty dim bulb of colossal arrogance and bad judgment, is zero for two this week.
His role a a dangerous vaccine charlatan was also severely damaged as the Lancet retracted the seminal fake "vaccines cause autism" claims.
Why does anyone even pay attention to the drivel that comes out of liberals mouths?
Thar doesnt sound true.
it takes a special kind of snow to make an igloo and very low temperatures.
Good catch. But then catching a Kennedy telling a lie is not all that difficult a task.
When are the Kennedys going to learn that their time has come and gone? They almost act as if they have to be 1960s liberal, there isn't one traditional conservative in the bunch.
"But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers."
BS. I grew up in a colder climate than McLean, and we never had snow that lasted all winter.
Now that's funny.
Algore makes Bernie Madoff look like a pick-pocket.
"Whats with the genes in the kennedy family?"
The genes were corrupted by the very thing that created the wealth - Scotch running during Prohibition. Papa Joe had no scrupples then and none of his progeny have scrupples. It is one filthy, evil, family.
What a snow job!
We need another library in DC to feature classic wingnuts of all time.

Hey, nice idea for a thread! :D
I think it should be only you who does the list, turning all the changed names and their numbers (changed since your last list) into bold. Oh, and I think people should say why they have added or subtracted points from a character.
Morgoth is the supreme evil and should not be taken down so soon! All my 10 points to him, giving him a total of 24.

The Space Sheep 2.0by Karolis Butenas
Available in 11 and 15 ounce sizes, our premium ceramic coffee mugs feature wrap-around art and large handles for easy gripping. Dishwasher and microwave safe, these cool coffee mugs will be your new favorite way to consume hot or cold beverages.
This is inspired by one silly image from the past. I first came up with the idea of the space sheep back at school during one of the history classes. It used to be a place where my friends and I would laugh from silliest things and come up with the daftest ideas. That's how the space sheep was born. This is the second version of the image and it's a tribute to the first one and all the good memories from the good old school days.

Hi there,
I am currently using Events Manager Plugin Version 3.0.95. Is there a way to include an anchor tag in the email and have it convert to an actual link instead of showing me the HTML code? Does this exist in 4.0 (I'm working on changes in the new upgrade).
i.e. Information session should return a hyperlinked Information Session when a confirmation is emailed to the user. The email that is being sent does not convert the html? Is there something I'm missing? Am I supposed to use a special bracket to ensure it's converted?
Thank you!

Of course - after having been ripped off once - it's not likely I will allow that to happen to me again.
So I did some checking - and then of course I was feeling evil... I called and posed as an excited person with new credit.
I was very insistant about having the street address before I give any personal info... Once I got the street address - then I proceeded to tell them that is a scam, and that I would be reporting them to BBB and the media for for their rip off scam.
So here it is people - their physical address if they are truthful.

Vista seeking input on development VISTA:
Residents are asked to weigh in on the city's plan to update its development guidelines for decades to come.
As part of developing General Plan 2030, city planners are inviting the public to workshops to share what they think is unique about their neighborhoods.
Meetings will be held in five locations from 6 to 8 p.m.
Monday: Brengle Terrace Senior Center, 1400 Vale Terrace in east Vista.
Tuesday: Bobier Elementary School, 222 W. Bobier Drive in north Vista.
Wednesday: Optimist Club of Vista, 600 Optimist Way in south Vista.
Nov. 5: Grapevine Elementary School, 630 Grapevine Road in west Vista.
Nov. 6: Breeze Hill Elementary School, 1111 Melrose Way in central Vista.
A city's general plan is a set of goals and policies to guide the way land is developed – or redeveloped – and used.
By state law, the general plan must address land use, housing, conservation, open space, noise and safety. A city can add other elements. In 1998, Vista added a topic titled community identity.
For information, call the city at (760)643-2891 or go to cityofvista.com. –R.R. Public works facility to hold open house
ENCINITAS: The Encinitas Public Works Department and the San Dieguito Water District invite the public to an open house tomorrow for the city's new consolidated public works facility.
The event, including a ribbon-cutting and tours, will be from 2 to 3 p.m. in the new facility, at 160 Calle Magdalena.
Until now, the city's public works staff and equipment have been housed at various locations throughout the city. Its old offices, at D Street and Cornish Drive behind City Hall, were demolished to make room for a library that opened in February.
The new public works building was formerly an auto dealership. It has 23,000 square feet of office space and a 4.4-acre work yard. The contractor for the $1.56 million conversion project was The Augustine Co. Inc. of Spring Valley.
"Our new location is well-situated to allow us to continue to provide excellent service to our customers," said Public Works Director Larry Watt. "Finally having the majority of our functions operating out of one facility will help us to be more efficient." –T.M. MiraCosta weighs parking options
OCEANSIDE: Enrollment at MiraCosta College is growing so much that the community college may need to build a parking garage to accomodate student vehicles.
Dick Robertson, MiraCosta's vice president for instruction, told trustees at a meeting Tuesday that fall enrollment was about 12,000 students, a 12 percent increase over the previous fall. The Oceanside campus has 1,410 student parking spaces, he said.
He said he is investigating renting parking space at the Quarry Creek shopping center about a mile from the campus.
Robertson quoted prices other community colleges have paid for building parking garages, ranging from $14 million at Grossmont in El Cajon to $21 million at Pasadena City College.
Robertson said MiraCosta received $678,622 last year from the $35 per-semester parking fee that students pay. Much of it goes to pay for campus police and parking-lot maintenance.
Susan Cota, MiraCosta's interim president, said a parking garage would need to be studied in conjunction with a new master plan for the college, which is to be undertaken when a permanent president is hired. –L.S. MiraCosta, group to hold bamboo sale
OCEANSIDE: MiraCosta College and the American Bamboo Society-Southern California Chapter will host a bamboo sale Saturday in Parking Lot 3E at the Oceanside college campus, 1 Barnard Drive.
The event will include a bamboo auction at 10:30 a.m. and information about MiraCosta's horticulture program. For information, contact Jason Kubrock at (760) 757-2121, ext. 6482. –M.M. Member needed on oversight committee
NORTH COUNTY: The Palomar Pomerado Health district is looking for someone to join its Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee.
The committee was created in 2004 after voters approved Proposition BB, a $496 million bond measure for the district's expansion projects.
A committee member recently resigned, leaving an at-large vacancy. The term for the seat ends June 30, 2009. The deadline to apply is Nov. 18.

Trophic Strategy
Life History and Behavior
Life Cycle
Reproductive strategies
Adult G. loreto males establish nest sites, using small holes and crevices in the substratum, as a preparatory act leading to spawning, Males also utilise algae that they cut from the substrate to line the nests and to conceal the nest opening. Females subsequently travel to these nests prepared by the males, for egg deposition, typically in early morning at first appearance of sunlight. Females deposit eggs, that are negatively bouyant and about one millimeter in size to form a multilayer egg mass. Males guard and care for the eggs with four types of nest care behaviour: nest guarding, nest maintenance, detritus clearing in the nest vicinity, and periodic nest entering. The eggs hatch after ten or eleven days, and then the larvae are believed to enter the planktonic stage until they are sufficiently heavy to resettle by gravity onto the reef.

Royal gramma
|This article is written like a manual or guidebook. (September 2014)
The royal gramma (Gramma loreto), also known as the fairy basslet, is a species of basslet native to reef environments of the tropical western Atlantic Ocean. They are also found in the aquarium trade.[1]
The fish can be a light purple to a deep violet starting at the head which fades mid-body to a golden yellow at the tail. The Royal Gramma will also have a small black spot on the front of the dorsal fin and a black line that streaks through the eye. It resembles the false gramma (Pictichromis paccagnellae), with the two main differences between the two being the false gramma has clear fins and does not fade, but rather has a distinct change in color. The royal gramma is relatively small, averaging slightly over 8 cm (3 inches) and has been tank bred. The largest royal gramma was measured at 8 cm (3.1 in).
The royal gramma is a planktivore, eating mostly zooplankton and crustaceans. The royal gramma is also a cleaner fish. It removes the ectoparasites (a parasite that lives on the skin of a fish) from other fish and learns to eat dead food, such as crustaceans and fish flesh. They prefer to pick their food from the middle of the water column.
Their natural range covers the Bahamas, Venezuela, Lesser Antilles, Bermuda, and through the waters surrounding Central America and the northern part of South America. The Royal Gramma tends to swim more towards the bottom with the depth range between 1 and 20 m (3 and 60 ft).
In the aquarium[edit]
|This article is written like a manual or guidebook. (September 2014)
Due to their relatively peaceful nature, diet, and small size, the royal gramma is considered an ideal inhabitant for most reef aquaria containing coral and other invertebrates. Notwithstanding this general statement, they can become aggressive towards tank-mates when kept in smaller nano reef tanks. They stake out territories throughout rocks and crevices and choose favorite hiding places. They are generally peaceful fish, but are very protective of their territories and are known for chasing out other small fish. They tend to stay in one area of the tank and, when startled, will dart back into their holes. They will vigorously guard their hiding places and, when threatened, will open their mouths wide in a threatening gesture to ward off the intruders. The royal gramma tends to orient itself to be parallel with the surface to which it is closest, resulting in the fish swimming straight up and down or sometimes upside down beneath ledges. This behavior is not to be mistaken for illness. The minimum suggested tank size is 30 gallons and the tank should not receive sharp lighting. The ideal water temperature should range between 72 and 78°F and the water pH should be between 8.1 and 8.4, with specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. [2] They are often kept in reef aquaria and are generally kept singly or in pairs. However, small groups can be kept as long as the tank is large enough and has enough cracks and crevices for each fish to have its own territory. The royal gramma should not be kept with its own kind unless in a formed male-female pair. It should also not be kept with larger, aggressive fish that will eat them. They are, however, resistant to most diseases and make very good beginner fish. It will also accept frozen and meaty foods, such as brine shrimp and mysid shrimp in the wild. The royal gramma is very easy to feed; but rotating their foods is said to keep them from becoming picky. Captive royal gramma will also eat flake and pellet foods.
Although pairs are difficult to find because the difference between male and female is not visible, they are very easy to breed. With males usually being larger than females, the male will build the nest among rocks using pieces of algae.[3] The male will then lead the female to the nest, where she will deposit 20-100 eggs in the nest. During the breeding period, this behavior is repeated almost every day for a month or longer. The eggs are about 1 mm (0.04 in) and are equipped with small protuberances over the surface with tiny threads extending from them. These threads hold onto the algae of the nest and keep the eggs in place. The eggs will hatch in five to seven days, normally in the evening, and can feed on rotifers until they are large enough to consume newly hatched brine shrimp.[4]
Compatible fish[edit]
Because the royal gramma is generally a peaceful fish, it gets along with many other types of fish.

Now lets get down to the real nitty gritty. Back in October 2012, my VPS (and many others) went down and it was a couple days later when they sent everyone an email saying they're moving to a different data center (I am assuming this is because they got kicked out of it). Then for the next month, my VPS was not working and they never replied to any of the tickets I sent.
It was December 1st 2012 that I received an email saying that everything is now working again and they gave me my new login information. Well, everything is not back to normal and I still can't access my server. They just moved everyones cPanel accounts over and deleted everything else in their VPS. So now we are all stuck with cPanel reseller accounts (that I can't even login to) instead of the VPS we paid for.
It is now February 2013 and nothing is working still. I have sent them hundreds of emails and not one reply. I was able to get a hold of him once through the live chat which he said "I will get it fixed ASAP". Well, that was 3 or 4 months ago now and he never did anything. They also sent an automated email trying to cover their butts by saying "Some reviews is fake and not customers to make us down" and that they will compensate their customers for the problems they had (this was also sent back in January and not one reply about it).
I have sent numerous complaints to their data center and payment provider so they are now "under review" and I'm not going to stop until something is done. They sent me an invoice for $120 thinking that I would renew my VPS when I don't even have a VPS anymore and not even a reseller account that I was supposed to get instead. Anyone else that was a victim of this company, you should contact their payment provider (2CO) and file a complaint. The more complaints they have, the faster they will be shut down!
I wouldn't even give these guys a 1 out of 10, they are a real big joke and they have been nothing but a hassle!

Permit to proceed Lake Helen renovation on wish list
City officials ready to renovate Lake Helen
City officials and the council are still waiting for a permit from the U.S. Corps of Engineers to start excavation of Lake Helen.
"Until then, we have no timeline to proceed," said city administrator Bruce Clymer on Tuesday.
About a year ago, an outlet gate was opened and lake water started to drain into a tail race to eventually rehabilitate the lake. Aside from pumping rainwater and water in low spots last summer, the project is at a standstill.
Initial plans were to start excavation of the lake last August with construction completed and the lake refilled in March of 2014.
At a council meeting, city engineer Travis Mason of Miller & Associates Consulting Engineers of Kearney said he hopes the permit is issued by February 2014.
Getting the proper documentation for the corps takes time and isn't easy, he said.
Mason added that allowing the lake to dry out for a longer period of time may mean that heavier equipment could be brought in to scoop out parts of the lake faster.

Assassin's Creed III
(PS3, Wii U, PC, Xbox 360 )
Awesomely awesomeBy Colton Score:
Nov 04, 2012 11:38AM PST
Now I could go for hours with this, but I'll try to condence it down. The latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series brings a new assassin, Ratonhnhake:ton, or Connor. With his indian backround, the frontier areas are fun to waste time in. Now while the story could be better, (It is the plain old revemge story) I'm not so focused on the story. The gameplay is smooth, especially with the double-counters. The new array of tools, ranging from rope darts to flintlocks, makes a nice addition. The naval combat is extremely fun as well. Going from full-sail to half whilst ligning up the cannon makes a great experience. The multiplayer hasn't changed too much, but it is still the fun AC multiplayer. With the new co-op mode Wolfpack, it makes it more fun playing with friends. And so, in conclusion, the latest insallment in the series would have to be the best.

Yummy salad! We loved the addition of the sour gerkins. Based on the previous review, I cut down the oil to 2 tablespoons, which was plenty for us and upped the vinegar by a tablespoon. Yum! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
This was a fantastic salad that is simple to make but packs a lot of flavour. I did have to make some modifications. I used white onions instead of spring onions and just made sure they were chopped very fine. I also only used 3 tablespoons of olive oil and three tablespoons of white wine vinegar because it tasted awesome! I also cut out the salt and just used pepper. Thanks for posting a recipe that I will definitely use again, especially with warmer weather coming up! Made for PAC Spring 2008.
