Good stuff!
By Caliope
from Sacramento
I use the speedball brayer with oil paints mixed with a cold wax medium. It picks up the paint mixture easily and applies it smoothly.
Great brauers
By Nanawnancy
from North Little Rock, AR
I love these brayers! They're so sturdy and roll easily and last for years. I've had some like them for 15 years and added these because I'm now having others come to my studio to make prints and needed a few more. My old ones still work well and clean up great. I like the metal structure and the way they feel in my hand. Great for small mono prints or to use as a painting tool too!

Adrian Peterson's 2-year old Son Murdered
This is terrible...
Photo credit: Getty Images
Adrian Peterson's 2-year-old son has died ... cops have confirmed.
Cops believe Peterson's son was severely beaten by 27-year-old Joseph Patterson, the man who was dating the mother of the NFL star's child.
As we reported, the mother of the child has decided to donate the child's organs to people in need.
The boy was on life support since 5:30 PM Thursday ... but his condition never improved ... so family members made the decision to take the child off the ventilator.
Patterson was initially arrested in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for assault and battery of an infant -- and now, it's almost certain the charges will be elevated to murder.
The details surrounding the beating are unclear -- but cops say medical responders were called to the apartment where the child was living on Wednesday evening ... and he was unresponsive when help arrived.

As AUTOSPORT revealed, a software problem with the telemetry systems inside the Red Bull garage meant the team lost the data link with Webber's car, which impacted on his race start.
McLaren, which supplies F1's standard ECU, issued a statement earlier this week apologising for what happened, and Red Bull says it will now move on from the matter.
Team principal Christian Horner said: "I think that it was gracious of McLaren to apologise, stick their hand up and say it was an issue. Hopefully they will get on top of the issues quickly."
Horner suggested that not all problems with the ECU have yet been solved, but said that his team would assist McLaren's effort to make the technology bulletproof.
"I haven't spoken to the others teams but there are glitches," he said. "Yes, it is complicated software but unfortunately we buy a product and you expect that product to be right.
"With McLaren, it was very good of them to apologise, the apology was accepted and the most important thing is to learn from what happened in Melbourne."
He added: "There are always reasons behind everything. We ran this ECU for the first time in the young driver test last year, where there were an awful lot of problems.
"They have worked hard to get on top of those issues, and a large majority are sorted. But it is frustrating that an issue has compromised the race start and preparation for Melbourne."

Mr. Egert seems to move around the valley taking phone calls and emails from suspicious spouses about everything from infidelity to sexual molestation. For a modest fee of $300 you can surprise your spouse with a "lie-detector" test -- imagined by most people as 90+% accurate. Right?
Perhaps if the test is properly administered by a true professional the results could approach 90% ... UNLESS other factors are present and not accounted for by the tester. Mr. Egert looks harmless enough, even semi-friendly during the pre -test-interview. After all if you are innocent taking such a test should have only say 10% chance of being wrong, right?
WRONG! The following day when he delivered the results of my test concerning having inappropriately touched our 7-year old daughter ALL HELL broke loose. [continued below]....
Sounds simple enough, right? So I visited another certified polygraph examiner Mr. Hanratty, who was referred by my wife's professional counselor. After an hour interview he declined to re-test me until he could see Mr. Egerts back-up documentation and full report explaining why I was judged "deceptive" on 3 of 4 questions. In short, Mr. Egert refuses to provide charts, notes, video or audio until a court says he has to. (which is the next step)
A second professional, certified polygraph examiner Mr. Burns recommended I file a complaint at this site, with the A/G in Arizona and Scottsdale Police Dept, which I plan to do. I have requested the full file from Mr. Egert twice in the last few days, but he tells my wife he refuses to have his work quality assured by outside examiners. Can you say quack?
I will post an update on how this matter is resolved. In the meantime by best advice is to do some research before you consider either getting a polygraph done, or recommending your partner get one done.

I read this review about Marty Egert and its really hard to believe you would take the time to post something postive on a ripoff report site. Makes you wonder if this is a something made up to make Marty look good. It may even be Marty posting the review. How else would you even know about this sight if you were happy with your results. Just an observation.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

When we received the results and I had questions, Will was very helpful in answering them and got back to me promptly. My husband is willing to take a second polygraph from another provider of my choosing to back up this one, so I do trust the accuracy of his results. Taking a polygraph cleared up a lot of my concerns and I am so glad my husband decided to take one. My marriage was definitely saved because of this service.

Skip to comments.If a Government Can't Tax, Is It Really a Government?
Posted on 08/14/2012 8:02:03 PM PDT by Lorianne
A ground-breaking Colorado case tests a constitutional guarantee. ___ Could Congress invalidate your state's constitution and demand it be rewritten?
The answer -- disconcertingly enough for those who regard the states as "sovereign," as against the federal government -- is almost certainly yes. It won't happen, of course. But last month, a related question emerged that may have more practical importance: Could a federal court do the same thing?
The clause that raises this question is called the Guaranty, or "Republican Form of Government," Clause of Article IV, § 4. It provides that "[t]he United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government . . . ." The clause, usually obscure, is relevant now because of a preliminary district court decision on July 30 in Kerr v. Hickenlooper, a case in which members of Colorado's legislature have gone to court to argue that the state's own constitution is unconstitutional.
The target is Colorado's so-called "Taxpayer's Bill of Rights," enacted by initiative in 1992, which essentially bars both the state and local governments from raising any tax without a prior approval by popular vote. The plaintiffs' complaint in Kerr contends that "[a]n effective legislative branch must have the power to raise and appropriate funds." Removing this power entirely, the argument goes, in essence leaves the state without a functioning legislature. In turn, a state without a legislature cannot have a "republican form of government."

ALL givernment is Mob Rule by mobsters.. all of them..
The matter is limiting the damage a givernment can do...
Thats WHY we have a Constitution(written down) the ONLY reason..
This is complicated by the fact in America we have three giverments.. federal, state and local givernment..
Each of them have different problems and need to be limited in different ways..
The next person you hear use the word givernment and does not specify or imply which givernment is blowing smoke up your ass.. or is a moron..
And since most americans are civic morons whom do not care about solving real problems anyway.. If YOU DO NOT educate them they will remain morons..
I do what I can...
Who, in their right minds, wants an effective legislature?
Life is much safer when the bastards are tied up in knots and spinning their wheels.
I'll have to take issue with that.
Mobsters have limits even they won't go past, and internal rules of conduct.
Legislatures? Not so much.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
It is clear that having the means of financing government is critical and that was why the Constitution was written in the first place.
Blah, blah, blah, this is a serious issue.
Governments should not have the power to tax. Period.
There are other business models than theft that could be explored. Unfortunately, using power to extract money from people seems to be the preferred mode.
I understand why the founders wrote the eligibility requirements so that Hamilton couldn't be elected president. And why Burr shot him.
[ Mobsters have limits even they won't go past, and internal rules of conduct. ]
Really.. you don't much about mobs.. which all operate much like muslims..
Islam is mob central.. Mob University...
Muslims DO NOT harm other muslims.. UNLESS....
They are the wrong muslims...
MoMo said.. "If a muslim changes his religion, "KILL HIM"...
Its that way in all mobs.. even democracy..
Which is by the way Mob Rule by mobsters..
NO democracy has ever yet been democratic.. nor can it be..
Democracy is a lie.. that most are brain washed with..
Democrats are "the Mob" that are FOR Mob Rule..
Trying to be Bi-partisan is completely delusional..
Many republicans are quite insane..
No democrat is ever Bi-partisan UNLESS he has already lost whatever it is..
Liiberals never beleive in a limited government unless it is a conservative government. Let the gov tax abortions and watch them go nuts.
[ Blah, blah, blah, this is a serious issue. ]
Whether the givernment can tax or not is a straw-man argument..
The only ones to disagree would be anarchists..
meaning the issue IS NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE..
On the otherhand whether there should even BE A FEDERAL givernment could be a valid issue..
States can solve their problems just like countries do..
With allies and enemies and all that..
States send $100 to Washington get $10 back and $90 is almost totally wasted.. There may be another way..
On that we agree. ;)
I still think there are valid ways of financing governments besides taxation.
You know as little about Hamilton and the constitution as you do about political science it appears.
The Constitution SPECIFICALLY allowed Hamilton to be president and he would have been one of the greatest there is no doubt.
Hamilton arrived in the colonies at the end of 1772. Hence, he was eligible to be president as Article II, Section 1, paragraph 6 says. "No person except a Natural Born Citizen, OR a citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; (this qualifies Hamilton as it did other Founders; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. (Hamilton was here for fourteen years.) The Natural Born requirement did not affect the eligiblity of the Founding generation.
When the ignorant criticize one of our greatest Revolutionary heroes, Alexander Hamilton, they are criticizing George Washington who loved the man and supported even after the Jeffersonian scum tried to destroy him. He was the greatest political writer of his generation.
Burr was a typical Democrat crook aligned with the model of corruption - NYC's Tammaney Hall, the vote stealing sink of thievery. He shot Hamilton because Hamilton had wrecked his political career stopping him from becoming president in 1800 and governor of NY in 1804.
It is particularly gratifying to watch as Jefferson viciously turned on the man who had put him in the White House and proceeded to tyrannically destroy him. Read about the Trial of Aaron Burr if you want to see the real Jefferson.
Hamilton's death (voluntary from all evidence) also destroyed the secession movement growing in NE which Burr would have brought NY state into had he become governor splitting the union.
Our fore fathers went to war over taxation on stamps, documents, tea - imagine what they would think about the government taking up to 39% of ones income?
The other way was tried and shown to be a disaster. States outside of a Union would have been the puppets and playthings of the great empires in the world at the time of the Founding. The unwillingness of states to provide the funds necessary to fight the War would have defeated the US but for the loans from France and the Netherlands which Hamilton's genius found a way under the Constitution to repay. But it took the collapse of the government of the Confederation to convince the nation that a new Foundation was necessary.
Return to the concept of Federalism - no direct election of Senators specifically. Allow states to define their electorates.
The Senate was established to be like the House of Lords and Senators were appointed by state legislatures to look out for the interests of the states as states. It was also intended to be primarily concerned with long term National interests hence the longest terms, 6 yrs, of any of our elected officials.
The principle problems with our government stem from too much democracy.
Any belief that state governments could do better is only possible when the actual history of those governments is ignored or not known. It is not known to the mass of Americans.
There is some debate about the eligiblity clause as relates to Hamilton, because of his origin on Nevis.
I do not hold Hamilton in high regard, having read much about him. Maria Reynolds and paying blackmail jumps to mind.
Pulling the funds outta you @$$ won't do.
It is impossible to fund the modern military without an income tax, in fact. If you want a military that is.
Very superficial argument. Only an Obama judge would allow it to go forwrd.
Colorado's legislature can tax and appropriate per it's constitution.
Limits on the rulers are as republican as are those on the mob.
A federal government certainly doesn't need a 17th amendment. Or a 16th.
Why always with the pointing guns at people and demanding cash?
Everybody falls back on taxes because Hammurabi and his strong-men ilk thousands of years ago started it, and nothing else has been tried.
I presume you mean 1781 when Hamilton resigned from Washington's staff after four continuous years of serving him (longer than any other aide). Washington apologized to Hamilton for the rude behavior which provoked the break. He also stayed on until a replacement could be brought up to speed.
As Washington's chief aide, Hamilton was essentially his alter ego and wrote most of his correspondence. He did all this although he wanted a line command more than anything and it had been his excellence in commanding the militia regiment he had used his college funds to equip which brought him to Washington's attention.
One of our greatest patriots, Hamilton threw away a chance to amass a great fortune since even though the greatest lawyer in the nation he spent the majority of his earning power years in low-paying government service. But the Union was his greatest concern not money.
As I showed you there was nothing stopping Hamilton from becoming president constitutionally. And, NO, there is no question or controversy about this. Just read the clause.
Maria was his downfall, no doubt, and the whole affair was orchestrated by the Jeffersonians. Burr was her divorce lawyer and set her on to Hamilton. But he was also the greatest political philosopher the New World ever produced.
He was the fulcrum around which politics turned, at the center of almost every significant event for almost 25 yrs. Jefferson called him "a colossus" and a "host within himself" because of his success at thwarting the Class Warfare the Democrats used to oppose Washington and Adams. Their methods were exactly like that of today's Democrats: outright lies and dirty tricks.
It's a shame his vision of a leviathan federal government was ever born. I would be happy with the Articles of Confederation.
Toothless federal government would be an improvement right about now.
Taxes are necessary in many cases because of the "free rider" phenomenon. If there were a better and more reliable way of funding government it would have been found in the thousands of years of civilization.
Hammurabi was in no way the first or even close to the first to fund governments by taxation.
Representative government uses taxation, it is one of the defining aspects of sovereignty.
Our Revolution was not fought to stop taxes but because there was no representation of the Colonies in Parliament. Had we been granted Members of Parliament in some fashion there would likely have been no revolt, at least at that time.
Nope, he's just the first thieving bastard to write it down in his code.
I postulate that a better way has never been found because the easy way is to point a gun/spear/whatever at someone and say "gimme" than it is to figure out how to finance a venture while accomodating the 'free rider' phenomenon.
The 'free rider' thing is what is killing America today, btw.
There would be no United States of America but for Hamilton.
You apparently swallow every Jeffersonian lie about him ever uttered. I doubt you have read one serious book about him.
There would have been no USA had the Confederation continued, as it was Congress was virtually defunct without even the ability to pay the legitimate debts the nation had amassed.
Because of the brilliant financial program Hamilton devised our nation's debt INSTANTLY became the top rated debt in the world. Because he capitalized the word of the nation he was able to create a money supply where there was nothing but chaos and bad paper. Amazing stuff.
He was killed because of his effective opposition to the Democrats. His funeral was the largest that had been held in NYC at that time and the entire nation mourned. Burr, on the other hand, was indicted for murder and run out of the country. He was also NEVER again trusted with any elected office.
Government at the time of Hamilton was TINY. It remained so until the Civil War. War always grows government. Ours grew mainly because of the Civil War, WWI and WWII.
There is no "better way" because government is NOT commerce. It is a different endeavor principally concerned about the protection of rights. Those elements which can be charged on fee for service, often are. You pay for licenses, you pay to visit National Parks, you buy census information and government publications, pay sewer bills, water bills, toll roads, etc.
But such examples are an exception when it comes to government actions.
God help us if this case gets to the Supreme Court, which we now know has three distinct factions: 4 liberals, 4 conservatives, and 1 moron.
Not my cup of tea.
Hamilton obviously had his share of propoganda published as well.
One thing about this discussion though, arguing about fundamentals of government is sorely lacking during election season. I do appreciate the back and forth on fundamental issues.
I'll be glad when there are more of these conversations, and less shrill electioneering.
If you study the history of the ancient Middle East it should be obvious that it was a very violent place with constant warfare.
Initially government was established there by the priest hood which developed the knowledge to control the irrigation system so as to allow successful agriculture. But this success brought raids from the nomadic peoples to the North so it became necessary for the city states of the region to develop military structures. They were not paid for as you claim but through the religious authorities.
The fact that the poor can vote to tax the rich while they pay little is a huge problem but that is the excess democracy I referred to earlier.
Hamilton "scammed" no one. And he was far more than our greatest lawyer. His plan laid the basic framework for a modern capitalist system which is based upon people paying their debts.
Once it became clear that debt would be honored there was no shortage of investment funds which allowed our economy to grow.
He was a great lawyer, a great financier, a great writer (as a boy) for the Independence Movement, a great military man, a great political philosopher who wrote 2/3s of the greatest work since Aristotle, a great explainer of political events through 25 yrs of newspaper articles.
He founded the oldest newspaper in the nation, The New York Post, the first Bank in NY. By far the most interesting man of the Founders generation. It is almost a miracle that he could have done all the things he did, simply unbelievable.
Had we repudiated our debt, as most of his opposition wanted to do, it would have crippled our nation and made it a pariah unable to attract investment funds from abroad or even from here.
[ The principle problems with our government stem from too much democracy. ]
Well yeah since democracy is a lie... a fabrication.. a scam..
Exactly like the Mafias "Protection Scheme"..
They protect you from "THEM"...
You can rail against life too but it won't do any good.
There are other business models than theft that could be explored. Unfortunately, using power to extract money from people seems to be the preferred mode.
You've raised an interesting point. Believe it or not, "no taxes" was the norm with respect to the King in medieval times. Sure, the norm was violated recurrently, but the King was expected in times of peace to live off the income of the lands he owned.
The trouble with this idea is, the King owned a large chunk of his realm. Thanks to entail, he could not alienate his lands except through granting a fief in exchange for vassalage - i.e., creating a new noble title. In order for this system to work in a Republic, a large part of the land has to be government owned. Sure, a lot of corporations would go for renting the land they use (they'd likely book it as a capitalized lease) but living American people would not like a large chunk of the good land available only through lease from the government. Even though they fork over property taxes now :)
Before I go on, two points of trivia. Mineral and oil royalties, stumpage fees, etc. are left-overs from the old medieval system. Also: the Civil List payments that the U.K. Royals receive are in exchange for Queen Victoria ceding the Sovereign's lands to the U.K. government.
Ayn Rand came up with a neat system for so-called "voluntary taxation." For every contract signed, a percentage of its value (notional value too) would be paid to the government. For example: if the rate is 1%, the up-front payment on a $1 million life insurance policy would be $10,000. For a $1 billion notional-value credit-default-swap contract, the payment would be $10 million.
In exchange, the government would enforce the contract's provisions if trouble erupts. Those who forego the payment would have their contracts treated as if they were illegal contracts, like gambling debts in jurisdictions where gambling is outlawed. The neat part of this system is that it's truly voluntary. Anarchists would have the option of going it alone, even though they'd still be subject to the criminal law. They'd also have to assume the cost and bother of enforcing their "illegal" contracts, so they really wouldn't be free riders.
Under Rand's schema, the government is confined to retaliatory force against those individuals (and foreign nations) that have initiated its use. The government has a legal monopoly in this area, but it also has to guarantee the provision of said force. These two conditions imply that a poor person, who lives hand-to-mouth and doesn't enter into any formal contracts, gets protected for free. Poor people who don't enter into any formal contracts would be the only free riders in such a system.
As for alternate arrangements like arbitration, Rand is silent. Sadly, they may have to be outlawed or restricted for such a system to work. Those options, however, would provide a competitive force that would keep the rate reasonable (or so it's hoped.)
Another, subsidiary, option comes from the government of Canada's policy on free education for officer cadets in Royal Military College. You get a free education (if you get accepted into RMC) in exchange for serving for at least five years. If you don't want the restrictions, you pay the freight. This system could be generalized, but it would stick in the craw of a lot of Americans. "The rich don't pay! [because they pay full cost for their education]"
Another option is to charge for services that are presently free. For example, the data given out by the Securities and Exchange Commission is relied upon by anyone that's anyone in investments. If Bloomberg can charge a monthly fee for professional-level price data, why can't the SEC for its data?
There are other options to make financing the government as voluntary as possible, but the trouble with all of them is that they depend upon government owning a lot of land and/or having a legal monopoly on the provision of certain services. Thus, the system is both market-oriented and quasi-socialistic. For the land example, there would have to be a Constiutional entail on the land owned by government to make sure that a feckless legislature doesn't sell off the patrimony. That would entrench quasi-socialism in land at the Constitutional level.
I am no civics expert but when it comes to taxes it appears that
Colorado is more of a democracy than a republic. I was taught
that the government IS the people in these here United States.
That today both folks on the left and the right see government as
something totally apart from the people is a sure sign of devo-
lution in my opinion. But I surely believe that whether or not
those running the government can impose taxes without the
direct consent of the people there is still governing going on. It
is just that the liberal writers of the Atlantic are not accustomed
to this type of governing. It doesn't fit their paradigm.
[ You can rail against life too but it wont do any good. ]
I know... farting in the choir is frowned upon but its better out than in..
I'll make sure to sing upwind of you.
The article title misrepresents the article.
The Colorado Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR), placed into the Colorado Constitution some years ago, limits tax increases to inflation and population growth -— so the Colorado Legislature can tax, they just can't tax as much as the Democrats want to tax.
So the Democrats are asserting in court that if they can't tax without limit, it is not a Republican Form of Government.
[ So the Democrats are asserting in court that if they cant tax without limit, it is not a Republican Form of Government. ]
America just elected an in your face flaming Marxist as President..
Whom is actively trying to remove AMericas capitalism..
Like any decent honest Marxist would do...
A large part of Colorado agrees with him...
The State of Colorado is pretty much delusional..
Not everybody just most of them..
Talk of Taxes is a straw-man..
Colorado's colleges are graduating brain washed socialists..
and have been doing it for decades..
ALL democrats in federal state and local givernments are seditious..
They are over throwing this republic and republicans want to reason with them..
Somebody is insane and its NOT THE DEMOCRATS..

|Bears | Hot RB will be leaned on in Chicago
Mon, 18 Jul 2016 07:39:50 -0700
Updating previous reports, Chicago Bears RB Jeremy Langford, RB Ka'Deem Carey, RB Jordan Howard and RB Jacquizz Rodgers will be part of a committee in the backfield, and head coach John Fox plans to limit their workloads and ride the hot hand. The team wants Langford to run with a wider base and gain more yards after contact. Carey needs to build on his toughness and become a more complete back. Both figure to be part of the committee approach. Howard adds a bruiser skill set in short-yardage and goal line situations.
Fantasy Tip: The reporter scribed that it "promises to be hell for fantasy football owners." Langford figures to be the leader of the pack, but he's not someone you can depend on week to week unless he takes off from the gate. He's a high-end RB3 in fantasy that could be maligned to good matchups for a flex play. Carey and Howard are RB5 projects that you can grab in hopes that they become said hot hand. Rodgers has a ways to go before he's an intriguing chip in fantasy with three backs possibly ahead of him.

|Bears | Chicago to use committee backfield
Fri, 20 May 2016 11:23:24 -0700
Chicago Bears RB Jeremy Langford will battle with RBs Jordan Howard, Ka'Deem Carey and Jacquizz Rodgers for touches in a crowded backfield during offseason workouts. Head coach John Fox is intent on running with a committee approach after the departure of RB Matt Forte. Langford has a leg up after scoring seven touchdowns in his rookie season. However, he had only 3.6 yards per carry and 1.13 yards after contact, which ranked second to last out of 47 players with 100 carries, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Langford must also work on improving his hands after struggling with drops in 2015. Howard's bruising style appeals to the team as a complement to Langford's speed. Carey is the only back that wasn't acquired by the current coaching staff, and he's being pushed to become more versatile and to play better on third downs. Rodgers it the veteran and could be trusted more than any other rusher on third downs early in the year.
Fantasy Tip: This makes things a little frustrating for fantasy owners, and it could be a fluid situation in terms of touches, at least early in the year. Langford has the leg up and should be the first back of this group drafted in fantasy leagues. He has more appeal in PPR formats as an RB3. Howard is a wildcard that could vulture touchdowns from Langford and is an RB5 flyer in standard-scoring leagues. Carey and Rodgers would likely need an injury to see significant touches and are mainly handcuffs.

|Bears | Ka'Deem Carey in the mix
Wed, 24 Feb 2016 10:06:27 -0800
Chicago Bears RB Ka'Deem Carey is liked by head coach John Fox, and the team appears thrilled about the duo of Carey and RB Jeremy Langford at running back.
Fantasy Tip: Carey has a 79-317-2 (4.0 yard per rush) line for his career and is shaping up to be in the RB4 conversation if the team is this high on him. Langford is likely ahead of him, though.

|Bears | Ka'Deem Carey shows what he can do
Sun, 27 Dec 2015 18:34:54 -0800
Chicago Bears RB Ka'Deem Carey rushed seven times for 16 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he also had a touchdown reception on a one-yard grab.
Fantasy Tip: Carey was a prolific rusher at the University of Arizona, but with the likes of Matt Forte and Jeremy Langford on the roster, he hasn't had much of a chance to show what he can do. Perhaps down the stretch he is auditioning for a job, either in Chicago, or elsewhere. Perhaps the emergence of Langford and Carey could signal the end of Forte in Chicago. It will be an interesting offseason for the Bears.

Welcome to Glaciers, Climate, and Society
Glacier hazards have become critical issues for societies and policy makers in mountainous regions worldwide. Glaciers can always generate disasters, but global climate change exacerbates the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and glacier avalanches.
During the last century, tens of thousands of people in the Andes, Himalayas, Alps, Rockies, and other mountains have perished in glacier catastrophes. Vulnerable populations' ability to adapt to global warming depends on successful glacier hazard mitigation.
To increase international awareness, share information, facilitate research, and ultimately save lives and protect infrastructure below dangerous glaciers, this website is designed to disseminate critical information about glacier hazards across regional and national boundaries.
The bibliography provides references for the study of glacier hazards and society. It is organized by theme and by region—and it highlights the often-ignored research in the social sciences and humanities.
The resources page features information about the work and websites of individual researchers, government agencies, university groups, data centers, NGOs, IGOs, and more. Direct links to the most valuable online resources are also included in each entry.
The pages on climate, hazards, water, and human dimensions highlight a few aspects of glacier research. To learn more about my team's work in South America, visit the Andes Research page.
Finally, the K-12 Education page provides a great starting point for teachers, students, and parents to learn about glaciers and climate change.
Please contact us to contribute references, link to your research, share news, or recommend improvements to this website.

Thuppakki giving fight to Son of Sardar at UK Box Office
Thuppakki is doing good business at the UK Box Office. Even though there are quite a few other language big films, the Vijay starrer film has managed to pull the audience to the theatres. In fact, it is giving fight to beat Hindi movie Son of Sardar starring Ajay Devgn.
Trade reports say that in the first three days, Thuppakki has earned Rs 62.32 lacs, and Son of Sardar has collected Rs 83.70 lacs at the UK Box Office. On the release day, the Vijay starrer film, which raked in £31,459 (approximately Rs 27.40 lacs) in 23 locations, beat the Ajay Devgn starrer film by a margin of Rs 2.31 lacs. The Hindi movie made £31,459 (Rs 25.09 lacs) in the UK on the release day.
On the second day, the collections of Son of Sardar witnessed more than 60% increase in its business on the second day and took its total two-day total to Rs 62.28 lacs. But the collection of Thuppakki dipped on Wednesday (November 13), as it added Rs 21.19 lacs.
However, Son of Sardar collected Rs 15.87 lacs (£18,196), and Thuppakki raked in Rs 13.10 lacs (£18,196) on Thursday (November 15) in 69 and 23 locations, respectively. It has to be noted that the Tamil film is being screened in less number of locations and the per screen average of Vijay's film is better than Ajay Devgn's movie. Meanwhile, other Tamil film Podaa Podi has collected Rs 8.97 lacs in three days.

The New Orleans Hornets coming into this off-season needed to make some drastic changes in order to keep their perennial superstar, Chris Paul on the team.
They started out well,by adding a few good draft choices in Quincy Pondexter and Craig Brackins.
Then their were threats from Chris Paul, saying that he was going to leave the team for the Knicks.
Thank god, Monty Williams and new ownership was able to convince Paul otherwise.
Lastly, the Hornets needed to add another option to Paul and West, and I think they might have done that with Trevor Ariza.

Both times I got confirmation numbers. Then the charges kept coming out every month out of my account and I told myself since the problem with the company wasn't with the product but the company, I would go ahead and use it. I got charged last week and again today. This time though, my husband is out of state and limited on funds and this charge was not only unexpected, but put him in a serious situation that left him unable to eat for a week.
I called my bank and they told me to once again call the company. I called the company and they said that they couldn't refund the money because it is against company policy to refund the money on monthly subscriptions and/or change the billing date. I told him I would be just fine if he could take it out this friday instead of today, but he was not willing to work with me.
He said I could cancel it and start it back on another day if I wanted to change the billing date, but that's it. I told him, "So, since I cancel today and that the fee hasn't even posted on my account yet, I get refunded that $35 fee?". He said no cause they don't refund for monthly subscriptions. I told him that it is fraud to charge for a service when no service is rendered. He replied that I would still have service until November and that is how they get around that. I told him, "But I just canceled". He said it is because that is the way the company works.
No, that is unacceptable. My bank is investigating the whole thing and I am gonna contact my lawyer over it.

Cold Weather Advice Needed
Once again, we are approaching that time of year when many birds that are migrating spend time in our region. I eagerly awaited this event last year, and was especially excited as I had just purchased the last few pieces of equipment that I wanted for my ideal BIF set-up. Unfortunately, I took ill with a tumor next to my kidney before I could even fire off one shot. It was bad enough having to undergo a number of months of chemotherapy, but I thought that I was mostly out of the woods when I was told that the tumors were in remission in May. Unfortunately, chemotherapy drugs are "the gift that keeps on giving", and as the cold weather approaches, I am now finding out that I have circulation problems in my hands in cold weather, a problem sometimes referred to as Raynaud's Syndrome.
I was out shooting a sunrise the other morning, and within a few minutes of setting up my tripod and camera, my fingers lost circulation and went numb. And this was while I was wearing thin gloves and borrowing some hand warmers from a friend! So, I spent some time at a variety of local outdoor stores looking at glove and mitten options, and I am even more confused with all of the options available.
I am assuming that when I go out shooting, that the temperature will be somewhere between 30-40 degrees, and that I will be standing around for much of the time. I am shooting a D300 on either a ballhead or a Wimberley Sidekick, and figure that the ability to feel a half-press of the shutter is an essential criteria when choosing some hand protection. I am also figuring that the ability to use my thumb to work the dials and control pad is important, but I am still not sure what the best arrangement would be.
I am assuming that the gloves do not need to be waterproof, as I most likely will not be shooting in winter rain. Windproof fabrics do seem important, since I will be standing around for a lot of the time, and I will not be generating much heat from activity.
I could find the heaviest liner glove that still allows me to operate the controls, or I could find a very thin liner and use it in conjunction with a heavier glove or fingerless mitten. I have also seen arm gaiters/warmers that might work in conjunction with a liner, and there are also some gloves that have small pockets which willhold a hand warmer.
My questions/concerns are weather a liner/outer shell will be too cumbersome to take on and off, and if my hands will mostly be without the shell, thereby leaving me without much protection. The fingerless mittens or fingerless gloves with retractable mitten tops also look good, but I am also worried about lack of protection.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is new territory for me, and I would like to keep my glove/mitten expenses within reason.

What I use when in a cold climate is thermal silk gloves which are very close fitting and allow manipulation of controls and over the top I wear woollen fingerless mittens - these keep the rest of the hand warm. I found this combination worked well for me in temps down to 20F in New England.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been giving this type of set-up some consideration, and my neighbor, who knits extensively, has offered to make me a pair of fingerless mittens. I like this arrangement since my fingers are never fully exposed to the elements. But, I am still open to other suggestions as well.
#3. "RE: Cold Weather Advice Needed" | In response to Reply # 0
I find surgical gloves under my regular leather gloves keep my hands warm when riding motorcycles in the rain. That may help.
My biggest challenge is shooting Aurora when it is -20ºF or colder. For that i go with heavy roomy gloves and hand warmers inside. If needed, I exchange them for lighter gloves to make adjustments then switch back to the heavies.

I use a pair of fingerless gloves - very snug fitting, made by Black Diamond. Over these go a pair of large mittens, with a single finger, insulated with Thinsulate and waterproof. The mittens have wrist hang ties, so that I can take them off, they then dangle from my wrists, and I have some protection from the fingerless gloves to shoot.
After shooting, hands go into pockets with chemical handwarmers, then back into mittens. You could size the mittens to allow for chemical hand warmers.
Hope that helps. I have a buddy with Raynaud's, and he uses the chemical handwarmers from fall through spring.
#5. "RE: Cold Weather Advice Needed" | In response to Reply # 4Fri 26-Oct-12 11:24 PM
I recently picked up some hand warmers to try, and I have several gloves and/or mittens that I am evaluating that have pockets for them. I was hoping to use them tomorrow night, but came down with a bug, and it looks like rest for me this weekend.
#6. "RE: Cold Weather Advice Needed" | In response to Reply # 0
The starting point is probably liner glovers. You can cut off the finger tips if needed. Some light weight gloves have textured finger tips.
For cold weather, I use foldover mitts. My wife uses them too - and her hands are always cold.
And the ultimate solution is the Cozy Camera wrap. I used this wrap with my camera in Yellowstone in the winter with temperatures down to minus 40 degrees. The wrap has pockets for heat packs. Its expensive but an excellent product for cold weather.

Hi Eric,
I am currently evaluating a couple of pairs of liner gloves, but I have not yet resorted to cutting them up. I did pick up a pair of fold over glove/mittens from Mountain Hardwear that are almost identical to the pair that you have linked to. I have not yet tried them out.
The Cozy Camera wrap is not something that I have seen. It looks interesting, and I will be further researching it when I have a free moment. Thank you for the suggestion. I hope at some point to either post a detailed update, or link to a detailed review on one of my blogs when I am further along and know more.

I am still looking at a variety of gloves, mittens and glomitts and have a question. Several of the fold-over glomitts use small magnets to hold the mitten flap and the thumb hatch back when they are not in use. Does anybody know if these magnets can cause any problems with a D300 body?
UPDATE: I took Eric's advice and purchased a pair of Simms Foldover Mitts at a local store. They seem well constructed, do not use magnets, and have a thumb hatch. Hopefully they will be better than the last pair of fingerless mittens that I returned, twice, for bad stitching.
#9. "RE: Cold Weather Advice Needed" | In response to Reply # 8Gama53 Nikonian since 01st Oct 2011Mon 26-Nov-12 11:54 PM
Something else to consider would be a muff with a couple of hand warmers in it. I have a bit of arthritis in my hands so cold - no grip when you think you are holding tight- can be troublesome & scary. A muff and light gloves work in most weather for me. Consider also a pair of golfer's winter gloves. Virtually wind proof with soft leather on the palms and fingers for good feel.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had considered some tyeps of hand muffs. Cabela's make avariety of them for hunters, but right now I am still evaluating what I currently purchased. The Simms have been good, and I like that there is both a pocket in the wrist for a hand warmer, and that one could easily sutff antoher hand warmer int he mitten overlay so the fingers get some extra warmth if your hands are not being used. I have also noticed that a good base layer (read "thermals" if you are over 50ish and "long johns" if over 70ish) has helped me stay warmer. The names and the fabrics change, but the concept remains solid! Dress for the weather.

Wow! I never thought about something like this Cozy Camera Wrap! Great idea. I plan to spend time out of doors with my birds and this may be just the ticket! Thanks for the idea.

O.k., first, if you want your hands and feet to stay warm, put a good, warm hat on your head, wear a balclava,and/or use your jacket's hood. That's where we lose 60% of our body heat..gotta keep the brain warm, you know! Don't go too tight...hat, gloves, or too many pairs of socks in regular shoes... it will cut down circulation, and fingers and toesies will get colder. (Don't ask how I know this!) Avoid cotton like the plague...it absorbs body moisture, then loses insulation ability. If cotton is all you have, Don't Sweat! Cold, wet jockey shorts WILL stunt your growth!
Take a couple of granola or chocolate bars. They will provide fuel to keep your body warmer.
I use various things, but mostly, either wool fingerless foldover glomitts with thin liner gloves, so I can work the camera controls if it is really cold, inside fleece lined Chopper mitts, or just the glomitts if the weather is fairly mild.
Use mittens, because they take less energy to keep fingers warm, compared to gloves with fingers, and have more room for handwarmers. One of the gloves needs to be long enough to cover your wrists well. Blood vessels are closer the the surface there, and keeping them warm will keep the fingers warmer.
Secure the heavy, outside gloves with an "idiot string"; a length of paracord or something, long enough to go over your shoulders inside the outer jacket, and down the sleeves. Have enough length to hang maybe 6-10 inches below the sleeves, to give room to get in and out of them without major contortions. Alligator clips on either end will secure them to your mittens. It may look funny, but you always know know where your mittens are, which is a good thing.
But, my problem is, I can't keep my fingers warm, even with the gloves folded into mittens. Mostly,I just deal with my numb fingertips. I haven't used hand warmers yet, but, I will be looking into that.
I am also considering the clunky-looking military surplus riflemen's gloves and liners, which have the trigger (shutter) finger separated. They should be warm. Neoprene fisherman's gloves also look promising, and they come in fingerless,too.
Go with a buddy, and let people know where you will be going and when you expect to be back. And...if it is just too cold, don't go. Life and/or health are not worth risking for photo!

Good advice, Carl. I was out twice this week, and well dressed this past weekend, but it was very challenging, and somewhat discouraging, to say the least. It was in the mid-30's with a bit of sun peeking through the clouds, but, like you, I ended up trying to shoot with numb fingers.
FWIW, while I recommend using hand warmers, they did little for me when I was actually outside waiting to shoot. I sandwiched my very numb right index finger between two warmers, and I could not even tell if they were warm.
I also recommend the Simms fishing gloves that Eric called out in his post above. These are among the best that I have tried, but I am still looking to see if I can find an effective liner to use in conjunction with them.
Also, I highly recommend Marmot's wrist gaiters. They are one of the few pieces of equipment that are easy to use, and tend to help the overall situation.
Finally, the biggest lesson that I am learning is that I need to have as much of my equipment set up before I even step out of the vehicle, as my time becomes somewhat limited when I am exposed to the cold. Normally I head out in my Vanagon, which is somewhat like a small living room on wheels, but this weekend we we evaluating an AWD vehicle, and there was little room for assembled gear. Then again, it did have heated seats!
I wish I had a better update on the situation, but at this point, I am going to ride it out to see how I adapt over time. Thankfully, my wife has suggested a nice alternative for winter photography. There is a glass museum with a hot shop about an hour from where we live, and the temperature in there is almost always toasty warm. I enjoy photographing when there is a full crew in the hot shop, but I had set my heart on improving my birding photography. It's a shame that our migration season is in winter. Perhaps I need to migrate to a warmer climate during the winter months like so many of these birds?

The Americans advanced to the semifinals with one of the most riveting victories in the history of the World Cup - men's or women's - beating old foe Brazil 5-3 in penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie. One key player in the victory hails from Northern Virginia.
When Ali Krieger hammered the last penalty into the bottom left corner of the net, the Americans let loose with a raucous celebration that soon spread back to the United States.
Her former travel soccer teammates in Prince William County were watching, their kids wearing Krieger's Number 11 jersey.
"My mom and I were screaming, jumping around," said Kristin Brunner. "We were so excited."
"It was surreal, it's amazing to see someone that you played with for so long, and you're just so happy for them," said former teammate Teresa McFadden.
The two women played with Krieger for years in the PW Sparklers, winning six state championships and reaching the national finals. The team was coached by Krieger's father Ken.
"She just always brought the level of competition up," McFadden said.
The 26-year-old Dumfries native was a standout at Forest Park High School, her former coach says.
"I always liked her passion towards playing. She would play with guys, she'd play with anybody to try to improve her play," Krieger's former choach David Cheshire said.
At Penn State, Krieger switched from offense to defense and went pro. Sunday was her biggest day yet. Already she's inspiring the next generation.
"I've been working hard to do it and I really want the same thing she has," said 11-year-old Tia Walter.
The U.S. team will play France in the semifinals on Wednesday. If they win that game, Ali Krieger and her team will face either Japan or Sweden in the championship game.

There are many factors that contribute towards toothache and extraction of the aching tooth is not always the solution. The reason for a toothache can be infection or any habit like biting nails, digging toothpick or tearing a crisp packet of chips with teeth.
Although visiting a dentist is the most preferred solution, one can get rid of toothache quickly with the following remedies.
Ways To Stop Toothache Tooth Ache Pain Fast
Salt Water
Most easily available, salt water not only cleanses the area around the aching tooth but also squeezes out the fluid that accounts for swelling in the mouth. Rinse your mouth with salt water for at least 30 seconds.
Clove Oil
Toothache is often caused by harmful bacteria. Since clove oil is highly effective against such bacteria, it comes handy when you suffer from sudden toothache. Clove oil is also well renowned for its numbing effect. Clove oil contains eugenol that heals the pain by acting as local anesthetic. Relief from toothache can also be sought from whole cloves. Just put some cloves inside the mouth and keep them between your molars that are not paining. Once they moisten, bite a little so that their oil releases.
Myrrh has incredible inflammatory properties that help in killing harmful bacteria. Just add some myrrh to a cup of water and boil it for half an hour. Strain the mixture and consume it.
Peppermint Tea
In addition to its numbing power, peppermint tea has a nice flavor. Brew some dried leaves of peppermint in a cup of water for at least 20 minutes and let it cool. Once the mixture cools, rustle it around the mouth. Afterwards, you can either swallow it or spit it out. Repeat this procedure.
One can also find fast relief from toothache by soaking a cotton ball in red pepper i.e. cayenne and powdered ginger paste and putting the cotton ball on the tooth that is aching. It is to be noted that cayenne irritates the gum so it has to be kept on the tooth.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution
Swishing the mouth with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution brings instant relief to toothache, especially when it is accompanied with fever. This solution also discards the foul taste in mouth that is caused by an infection. Keep it in mind that hydrogen peroxide solution is not meant for swallowing.
You can also place a bag of ice cube on the aching tooth directly or over that part of cheek beneath which the aching tooth is located. Wet but warm tea bag is equally helpful in healing an aching tooth. Tea, especially black tea comprises of astringent tannins that render temporary relief to toothache and reduces swelling.
You can also soak a brown paper (that is used to make lunch bags) in vinegar and sprinkle some black pepper on one side of it and place it on the cheek. The warm sensation on your cheek will make you forget the pain for some time.
Desensitizing Toothpaste
Sensitivity in teeth is caused by exposed roots because of gum disease or hard brushing. Structural faults like cracks, tooth decay and broken fillings also cause sensitivity in teeth. Put some desensitizing toothpaste on a cotton swab and dab it on the aching tooth for a while. Repeat it twice a day till the time sensitivity diminishes. Also use soft bristles to brush your teeth.

Bears, Santonio Holmes agree to dealBy ANDREW SELIGMAN
The Associated Press | August 17,2014CHICAGO Former Super Bowl MVP wide receiver Santonio Holmes signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
The team also announced receiver and kick returner Eric Weems was released.
The Bears are looking for a third receiver behind stars Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. Marquess Wilson was battling for that job when he broke his collarbone last week.
A first-round draft pick by Pittsburgh in 2006, Holmes was the Super Bowl MVP in his third year.
He had his best season statistically the following year in 2009 with 79 catches for 1,248 yards and five touchdowns.
But he was traded to the New York Jets the following offseason after the Steelers tired of his legal troubles.
The Jets released the 30-year-old Holmes in March after he had 23 catches the second-lowest total of his career for 456 yards in 11 games. He missed five games midway through the season with a hamstring injury. Holmes was limited to just four games in 2012 and was sidelined for several months after suffering a career-threatening foot injury.
Holmes was a controversial figure at times in New York, clashing with quarterback Mark Sanchez and the offensive linemen during the 2011 season.
Weems played the past two seasons in Chicago after spending his first five with Atlanta. He has 3,184 kickoff return yards and a touchdown and 815 punt return yards with a score to go with 26 receptions for 240 yards.MORE IN Wire SportsFARMINGDALE, N.Y. The Olympics are over.

There's a guilty plea to federal corruption charges from California Republican Congressman Randy Cunningham.
Cunningham answered "yes, Your Honor" when asked by U-S District Judge Larry Burns in open court today in San Diego if he had taken bribes in exchange for performance of his official duties.
Cunningham sold his home two years ago to a defense contractor at an apparently inflated price. Around the same time that man's company saw its defense revenues triple. Cunningham is a member of a House subcommittee that controls defense dollars.
He entered guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and tax evasion.
The eight-term congressman is a former Vietnam War flying ace who is known as "Duke." He's known for his interest in defense issues, and for his occasional outbursts.

As he welcomed the end of a campaign where McLaren failed to take a podium finish for the first time since 1980, Whitmarsh made it clear that the team had everything in place to stage a recovery next year.
"It has been a long season and it seemed longer than I have ever known a season," he said. "Now I am excited about the future and that is a nice thing.
"With the big rule change coming for 2014, it really is a clean sheet here.
"There are no excuses for next year."
The biggest uncertainty that teams face under the new regulations, however, is how competitive the engines of Mercedes, Renault and Ferrari will be.
Paddock speculation suggests Mercedes will have the advantage in terms of power and weight, but Whitmarsh knows that the only proof of that will come during testing next year.
"Will we have a competitive power train? I don't know," he said.
"There are lots of people who appear to be very knowledgeable down the pit lane, and I don't know what data they have got to know that.
"But having said that, what I know in terms of level of resource and type of organisation, I think they will have done a competent job and have applied the level of resources you would want on it.
"I suspect we will be competitive."
Whitmarsh said there were already encouraging signs about a performance lift from his team at the end of this year, even though it still did not achieve enough.
"I think the last four or five races we have flattered to deceive as it were," he said.
"I have sensed we did make progress.
"We were racing Ferrari and Lotus and Mercedes, but we didn't quite nail it.
"You can see we had similar pace, which is ironic given that the car hasn't touched the wind tunnel for about four months and we were not doing anything [to improve it]."

We ordered a new refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and gas stove. The cost was in excess of $5000.
I was not able to be home when the appliances were delivered, as I work during the week. My wife was left with to contend with the hhgreg deliverymen.
The deliveries were made on feb 4th. The dishwasher did not fit the normal opening, so my wife called me at work and we mutually agreed with the recommendation of the hhgregg person to have the "too large" GE replaced with a Bosch unit. He was to deliver that the next day.
During the installation of the refrigerator, my wife noticed a large scratch on one side. She agreed to a $100.00 dollar reduction on the price. The stove could not be installed until the 7th because they did not have the proper gas lines with them.
On Thursday the 8th, my wife noticed a dent on the refrigerator below the scratch, and also a dent in the front panel of the Bosch dishwasher.
I called HHgreg immedialtly, and was told we would get called back in 20 minutes. Well, 24 hours later a gentleman named James Turner called and informed us hhgreg had no responsibilty to rectify the damaged goods they had delivered. He had the Gull to say WE had done the damage.
He said my wife had "accepted" the condition with her signature on the delivery ticket. Since when is it the responsibilty of the customer to inform the dealer of damage? Why were we delivered damaged goods in the first place?? OR is this the normal MO of a dishonest company to deliver damaged appliances, hoping the customer won't notice until it is "too late"???

You had already received $100 off of the price of the product because of noted damage and the delivery team and store location most likely thought you were trying to rip them off by causing damage to the product in an effort to obtain more money off of your already discounted product.
It is unfortunate that you received a damaged product to begin with, but these are very rare occurances. Of the thousand or so people who take delivery of appliances every day from HHgregg, only a handfull of people report that their product was damaged. Often times these are manufacture flaws.
You can always call in-home-service out to your home to repair these issues, but screaming at the retailer almost never yields satisfactory results.

Hidden in a tiny side street close to the bridge that leads from Kuah's banking district to 'My Hotel Langkawi', the Korean Restaurant Haroo is a culinary gem just waiting to be discovered!

Help Belinda to find a NEW place
for the iconic ARTS Café in Kuah
The ARTS Café in Langkawi Fair is forced to close to make way for new 'Branded Outlet' and will have to shut its doors for good unless a new location in Kuah can be found (if possible before May 31st).
Belinda Koh, café owner has been told by her landlord, Langkawi Fair Sdn Bhd, that the Arts gallery cafe has to be relocated to make way for a new branded outlet. The management has offered a new location (at the far end of the mall) to relocate Arts Café, which Belinda feels is neither suitable nor appropriate that it should have to move at all.
