I also contacted CenturyLink (hereinafter CL) and told them to continue my internet service, but to discontinue the land telephone line.
They discontinued my services as of May 11, 2012. I had a $95.97 credit with these businesses, as a result of prepaying for services for the month of May. I had bundled so my contact was with CL.
On June 14, 2012, I renewed my contract with CL and DT, because of bonuses offered to me. I again bundled services.
On or around June 28, 2012, I received a notice that my services would be disconnected for non-payment of services. I called CL and was told my services were being disconnected for non-payment of approximately $193.91. They told me that I owed them for the internet services to date, as well as $95.97. This was the $95.97 credit I had coming from DT.
As was explained to me, CL paid the DT part of my bill to DT and then sought payment from me. They paid the $95.97 that I did not owe; this amount was a bill for charges between the date of disconnection (May 11, and the date of the new contract June 14). I did not have services between these dates. The customer service rep told me to pay the balance of what I owed to date for the internet services and she would set aside the $95.97 that was a refund DT would pay to me so I could
pay CL. I paid everything owed other than the $95.97 refund DT owed CL.
On July 12, 2012, my services were disconnected for non-payment of the $95.97 refund owed on the books to me, (I had not received this refund at this time.)
I want to be clear that this $95.97 was the money DT owed to CL because CL paid for services I did not contract for or receive because my contract was ended. I had paid the monies I owed in full and owed neither DT nor CL any money.
I spoke to DT and CL about this disconnection threat and they offered to set up a payment plan. I declined this offer since I did not owe any money to DT or CL, it was money DT owed to CL.
On July 20, 2012, I received my full refund check from DT and immediately sent a cashier's check in the amount of $95.97 to CL/DT. My services were restored. Services had been disconnected from July 12 to July 23.
Beginning July 12, 2012, when they disconnected my services I started to demand that the contract with DL and CL be discontinued due to the demand for payment by me to DL/CL of money I did not owe and refused to pay and the unjustified disconnection of services.
DT and CL informed me that the contract was valid and to terminate it would result in an early termination charge of approximately $400. I was so angry and outraged about the disconnection of my services based on no wrong doing on my part, that I demanded that they end the contract. As a result, they terminated the contract and charged about $400.
Once I cooled down and considered the battle that would ensue to take DT to court and have the law determine that the contract had been violated by DT and was no longer enforceable, and because I suffer from PTSD when extremely agitated, I decided to reactivate the tv services and pursue my remedies through the attorney general's office.
When I called DT to instruct them to restart the services, I was informed that I would not be eligible for the incentives offered to me when I initially signed the contract with them. No one at any time told me that ending the contract would result in the permanent termination of the incentives.
I decided to pursue remedies through the consumer protection duty of my Oregon Attorney General and reactivated my contract under duress and protest.
As a result of the loss of bonuses, I reduced services to the minimum.
I feel these actions by CL and DT are violations of our contract and I should be allowed to discontinue my contract with these
companies without penalties. I should also be given credit for the time services were disconnected without a lawful
cause, and for the charges of reconnection of my services.
In the event that the contract is considered legitimate, I demand that the bonuses granted upon activation of this contract should be restored, and that I not be charged for reconnection.
I believe that CL and DT practiced unlawful debt collection when they demanded that I pay them $95.97 for a time period that I did not receive services from DT, and they knew it.
I have spent hours on the telephone with these two companies trying to resolve this situation. They have been stolid and unwilling to negotiation with me. They insist that the contract is valid, they disregard their efforts to collect monies I did not owe, disregard the fact that there was no notice given that bonus services granted upon the activation of a new contract would be revoked under any circumstances, and have been a bully about the entire situation.
It appears to me that DT and CL have no regard for the law and are willing to use whatever strong arm tactics they choose to force their unfortunate customers to do their will.
Thank you for defending the consumers against the unlawful practices of large companies that have no incentive to comply with the laws of contract and lawful debt collection.
As a result of my complaint to FCC, CL wrote a cold and uncaring letter, just short of a form letter that did not address my concerns in any way that indicated a resolution was to be considered or offered. They continued to be cold and bullying in their attitude.
Furthermore, when I reactivated my land line and requested the same phone number I had in May of 2012, I was told I could have it. They reactivated my phone, but with the wrong number. I called and requested that the correct number be attached to my phone and was told that it was taken care of.
The correct number was not attached and so I again called CL to get it attached and was told that the people needed to correct the problem was not in and I would have to call again. I asked if they could call me to avoid the automatic wait for an agent and was told that they could not do that, in effect, they were too busy and I would have to call again.
I think I have a perfect example of how CL and DT have no, or worse than no customer service standard, are bullies that know the consumer is helpless against them and their tactics short of going to court, and that it will take some huge powerful lawsuit or publicity to get their attention.
I have 62 years old and thought the old days of bullying and unlawfully enforcing unlawful or unfair contracts ended with the dispersal of AT&T...obviously I was wrong.
Thank you for being willing to give a forum to the unfortunate consumer that does business with DirectTV and/or CenturyLink.

Three years ago, Great Britain's Cultural Olympiad began work on a huge photography project. The goal was to photograph a Londoner originally hailing from every one of the 204 countries competing in the Games. A different photographer was to shoot each person for this mega portfolio of portraits called "The World in London." And they came thisclose to compiling the full set of portraits, having photographed Londoners from all but six of the competing nations — American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands / Nauru, and Palau. The team has asked Londoners from any of those places to get in touch in the hopes of completing the project.
The remaining 198 images can be found at theworldinlondon.org.uk, alongside interviews with all the photos' subjects. Here's a selection of images:

Nice Tablet
By btp226
from Garretson, SD
For what little this tablet cost, you would be hard pressed to find something better. The touch screen works fine with no lag, YouTube videos play well, Chrome and Firefox browsers both seem to work well (although I prefer Chrome). Adding storage via the microSDHC slot is a breeze. I would recommend this for anyone that is looking for something for web browsing, listening to music or reading a book.

Great tablet at a great price point. For the people having bad battery life: Keep the tablet on untill the battery is empty all the way, then charge it untill it reaches 100%. This will calibrate the battery and give accurate readings. Pro's: - Great build quality - Very fast - Good price Cons: - Some minor bugs in the software - Android 4.2.2??? 4.4 is already here
It's Just OK
By DroidNewbie

This is my first android device from having many iOS devices. While a lot of things work on this device random apps like Banking apps couldn't be installed & games like Minion Rush would sometimes lag.. NO Bluetooth is a slight bummer. Normally tablets at this lower price sometimes don't have something like Google play store. but for the price I might just buy another one cause everything is all there
poor tablet
By peabob
from Mi.
The camera is poor quality. Grainy pictures. Battery life is less than 2 hours. Advertised up to 7 hours' that's not even close. I am very unhappy with this tablet and I am returning it just two days after receiving it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great tablet for its price
By WW23
I love this tablet. It's a great value for the price. I love that it looks just like an iPad Mini. The only downside is the battery life.

As the number of families who struggle daily with unmet health care needs continues to grow, we're helping more people live longer, healthier lives:
- In El Salvador, more than 40,000 people a year benefit from care they receive at the AmeriCares Family Clinic.
- In India, hundreds of sick children and adults are treated each day by our mobile medical clinics.
- In our home state of Connecticut, we now operate four free clinics that have treated thousands of uninsured patients since the first clinic opened in 1994.
AmeriCares Free Clinics
Medicine for the poor should not be poor medicine. Dr. Nilda Soto, founder
Open Door Health Clinic, Florida
Nobody should have to choose between paying for food and paying for health care. Sadly, it's a crisis that a growing number of Americans face. Here in our home state of Connecticut, where more than 325,000 residents live without health insurance, AmeriCares operates four free clinics – in Danbury, Norwalk, Bridgeport and our newest location in Stamford. The clinics provide quality care to uninsured residents, helping more people get the primary care and medicines they need but cannot afford.
El Salvador Clinic
Good medicine and good health for many more people
In El Salvador, where 1 out of 5 sick people can't afford the medication they need to get well, the Clínica Integral de Atención Familiar provides quality health care, medications, and outreach services to thousands of underserved families. In 2011, more than 40,000 people received diagnostic tests and treatment for a range of conditions, from acute illness, to chronic and communicable diseases.
Read more about the clinic:
India Mobile Clinics
Health care for people who once had none
In the slums of Mumbai, people live in crushing poverty, suffering from infection and disease spread by overcrowded, unsanitary conditions.
6 days a week, our fully-equipped mobile medical vans bring health care to impoverished families in dozens of locations.
100+ patients a day benefit from the medical vans' on-site services and free medicines. For most patients, this is the only time they will ever see a doctor. Immediate needs are met, referrals made when necessary, and chronic diseases identified and treated on an ongoing basis.

The CSIRO calls this proof?
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, March, 15, 2010, (10:26am)
It's a bizarre way to "prove" their case:
AUSTRALIA's two leading scientific agencies will release a report today showing Australia has warmed significantly over the past 50 years, and stating categorically that ''climate change is real''.
The State of the Climate snapshot, drawn together by CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology partly in response to recent attacks on the science underpinning climate change, shows that Australia's mean temperature has increased 0.7 degrees since 1960. The statement also finds average daily maximum temperatures have increased every decade for the past 50 years.
The report states that temperature observations, among others indicators, ''clearly demonstrate climate change is real'', and says that CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology ''will continue to provide observations and research so Australia's responses are underpinned by clear empirical data''.
The report also found that the 2000s were Australia's warmest decade on record; that sea levels rose between 1.5 and three millimetres a year in Australia's south and east, and between seven and 10 millimetres in the north between 1993 and 2009; and that sea surface temperatures have risen 0.4 degrees since 1960.
Why is this surprisingly scanty propaganda pamphlet bizarre, and not quite honest?
First, no one is doubting that "climate change is real". Climate changes all the time. This is not the debate.
Second, we're talking about global warming, so why does the CSIRO and BOM's pamphlet give only Australian temperatures? Is that because it knows that to show world temperatures stayed flat since 2001 actually casts doubt on just how much man's gases are driving the post-mini-ice-age warming?
Third, given the CSIRO praised the since-discredited An Inconvenient Truth, claiming "its scientific basis is very sound", can we really trust its advocacy science?
Fourth, the CSIRO and BOM's document does not address any of the recent challenges to the processes which produced the concensus that man is almost certainly to blame for most of the recent warming. Nor does it mention recent debate about adjustments made to Australian temperature records of the kind that increase the reported warming trend.
Fifth, what's most at issue (other than man's contribution to any warming) is whether any warming will in fact be disastrous, and something we must spend billions to help avert. The record so far of alarmists such as Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the IPCC and even the CSIRO itself is that the catastrophism is wildly exaggerated and we might often do better to keep our money in our pockets for the day that we're called on to cope with whatever happens in the far-off future. But on this, again, this document adds zero to our understanding.
But, of course, this brazenly political document got the unquestioning hero treatment on the ABC's AM program, in what sounded like the two fingers to its chairman.
How much can this propaganda sheet be trusted to tell you the let-the-cards-fall-where-they-may truth? Judge from this example:
...total rainfall on the Australian continent has been relatively stable
Stable? Why didn't the CSIRO and BOM tell the reassuring truth - that total rainfall has in fact increased?
From the BOM's own website (but not included on the propaganda sheet):
(Thanks to reader David Stockwell, who has more.)
More CSIRO cherrypicking. Its pamphlet shows a steep and alarming rise in methane concentrations over the past century:
But what's missing on the graphic, or anywhere else on the propaganda sheet, is this detailed look at methane concentrations over the past decade:
Why did the CSIRO and BOM not note that the failure of methane emissions to rise as predicted in the past decade also challenges the theory that man's gasses are most to blame for recent warming?
In fact, where in the pamphlet is any attempt to address what IPCC lead author Kevin Trenberth privately confessed to in one of the Climategate emails:
(W)here the heck is global warming? ... The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't.
(Thanks to reader Tom.)
Physicist Dr Nicola Scafetta checks the IPCC models and theories on which the CSIRO and BOM rely, and says they exaggerate the problem:
At least 60% of the warming of the Earth observed since 1970 appears to be induced by natural cycles which are present in the solar system. A climatic stabilization or cooling until 2030-2040 is forecast by the phenomenological model.
Have Your Say
"...The State of the Climate snapshot, drawn together by CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology partly in response to recent attacks on the science underpinning climate change..."
Knowing that that GO's like these two would never bite the hand that feeds is anyone surprised at the conclusion?
When did science become so riven and corrupted by government stipends and handouts?
Sadly, it can no longer be trusted and organisations like the CSIRO and BoM are at the vanguard of that deep mistrust.

CSIRO bid to gag emissions trading scheme policy attack
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:29pm)
Anyone who has ever pinned their hopes on science to provide objective truth and answer every question about everything will always be disappointed.
Science always has been and will always continue to be, subjective attempts by fallible people to explain the material world. Their interpretations have always been and always will be filtered through their presuppositions of naturalistic materialism, with some good lashings of ideological, political and tenure-driven motivation thrown in.
Science is only one very limited tool in the garden shed of human knowledge and endeavour. While it is very useful if properly constrained and held accountable for empirical data collection (rather than ideological indoctrination and political spin), it can also hinder human progress and become a stumbling block to knowledge if given excessive status and influence over public policy and values.
So should we really be surprised at these publications, given the blind faith by which so many worship at the alter of 'science' (=naturalistic materialism)? Methinksnot
Mon 15 Mar 10 (04:09pm)
So I guess those sneaky sceptics have been up north with their eskys full of ice and topped it all up again.
Notice how the ice extent for March falls within the average range for the 1979 - 2000 period?

Here, Here! But I lost my trust in science a long time ago, lets face it when you rely on Government money you will say anything and do anything for it.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (09:57pm)
Are the CSIRO and the BOM being leaned on by Krudd and Co. to issue this paper, in the hope that it will influence the vote on the ETS bill in the Senate.
What a gigantic increase in Temperature!
No wonder we are all feeling like we are frying daily here in OZ!
Sarc off
Beware the "averages"--
if three friends earned $1,000,000, $200,000 and $24,000, respectively,all three of them would be mighty pi$$ed off with you for saying they earned an average of$408,000 and really you'd not be giving any useful information.

C'mon Echo, if you don't understand the topic properly, don't take part in the debate.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:37pm)
Brendon & Chas… and the significance of a long term trend that results in a rise of 0.4C in 50 years is what?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (03:26pm)
Chas and Brendon, I think that maybe Echo understands the topic better than the two of you. By the way - can you guys explain to me why the "observed" sea level rise has been greater in Australia than the rest of the world?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:16pm)
I've got a better one - how the hell do you measure a sea level rise of 1.7 mm? In scientific terms, I think it's what we call "noise"
Tue 16 Mar 10 (12:21am)
Maybe the CSIRO and BoM can explain why no attention was paid to the continued and unusually high Sea ice cover in recent years at the Antarctic. IS it because thre are no polar bears living there?
These AGW tools may want to lay off the magic mushies.
You have anything but hot air there, Newman?

It does determine whether or not they have a salary…

A grant doesn't change a scientist's salary.
*merely* ensures that it will continue…
of course, if you become famous enough, a few books can be very lucrative
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:06pm)
Andrew S, grants are the only reason a great number of scientists' jobs exist in the first place. And it would be a very naive scientist who considers their grant funding record unimportant when applying for promotion.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:17pm)
A grant doesn't change a scientist's salary.
No, but the grants keep the salaries going way past the research's use use-by date.

Just a liitle more than naive AndrewS
A grant doesn't change a scientist's salary
But what a grant does is make sure that a tenured position is continued. Without the grant, a research activity ceases/doesn't commence.
No grant = no research = no salary.
Further, grants for research lead to publications and mutually, with other like minded researchers, citations of each others' publications.
Assessment by bodies such as ARC and NMHRC, as well as the upcoming ERA reporting are largely based on these two basic metrics (publications and citations). This assessment is done of the institutions such as the Go8 Universities.
In turn distribution of the research funding strongly depends on prior contribution of individual researchers to the ranking of their University.
If you do not understand this, you don't have anything to do with research at a University, or the collaborative research activities with bodies such as CSIRO.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:27pm)
I'd like to be clear onone thing. I am not saying that scientists are not hard done by. They aren't paid well. But this AGW rort has damaged their profession severely.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (04:38pm)
AndrewS - I see you've got a lot of replies!
How many people used to call themselves "climate scientists" before the massive increase in government grants for "climate research"? How many of these new government-funded scientists are actually trying to disprove the AGW hypothesis? Not a lot of grant money to be had by doing that, is there?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (07:14pm)
Hey, don't take away all that money before the ClimateChangeLawyers Collective gets going! Please don't let them miss out on the honeypot!
Tue 16 Mar 10 (12:11am)
Peter of Mt Eliza
You forgot the importance of publications in the annual bibliographic collection in Universities.
This is where some funding comes from, too.
No grants, no research, no publications, no funding… oh wait, sounds like a circle…
You had to remind me of ERA, didn't you? It's on again soon.
Tue 16 Mar 10 (12:32am)
A grant doesn't change a scientist's salary. You have to laugh at that comment. I mean really!
Scenario. 2 scientists are vying for government money in the form of a grant to study. Both scientists intend to study the Sumatran Water Shrew.
Scientist number 1 says he wants to study the Shrew's feeding patterns and whether they develop highly social community groups. He also wants to document breeding patterns, known diseases, total numbers in the wild, the impacts of logging and introduced species to their environment and whether they have developed new genetic derivatives in recent times.
Scientist number 2 says he wants to study the effects of Climate Change on the Shrew.
Now tell me, who do you reckon will get the government grant?
That stuff about 0.7oC since teh 60s is a bit rich. The trend is only noticable after adjustment but more disineguously temp in Australia was DECLINING before the 60s, so a whole of century view makes that rubbish trend virtually dissapear.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (10:47am)
On the contrary. It adds substantially to our understanding.
Our understanding that the CSIRO and BOM is, like HadCRU, a hopelessly politicised outfit of agenda-driven muppets who can not be trusted with taxpayers money to provide objectivity in what they do.

Tue 16 Mar 10 (12:34am)
Brendon, I can't recall ever seeing a wealthy Mining Group who continually got it wrong!
For the ABC to completely ignore its chairman's directive presents the current chairman with an interesting dilemna. Does he sack the offending bureacrat? Or let them walk all over him? It appears that our ABC has completely forgotten what true independent journalism is. Reporting myths as fact should be a chargeable offence within Australia. Lets see any politicians game enough to try and make THAT a law!
Mon 15 Mar 10 (10:56am)
Mon 15 Mar 10 (12:34pm)
You mean the Chairman should politicize the ABC?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:26pm)
Andrew, will oyu please write this into your column. It is not fair that the propaganda machine at the ABC is pushing such devious and cherry picked science. You know you get under thier collective skins when you publish anti AGW articles! Cheers.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:55pm)
As public servants ABC employees have the kind of tenure most only dream about. You need quite a serious transgression to get the sack and have it stick on appeal.
That's a large part of the problem. ABC employees are free to run soft left agendas in the knowledge they're there until they turn 65. Either privatise the ABC or turn it into a Government Business Enterprise so it is self funding and staff are employed on contracts. Oh, and give the Chairman or the Board the right to hire and fire.
Memo AndrewS:- I think you mean the Chairman should de-politicise the ABC ... it certainly needs it.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:55pm)
Liz. You can now see the true Orwellian nature of the reactionary lefty. Look at Andrews' comment.
An organization jam-packed with lefty stooges...many of whom were ALP staffers (Barry Cassidy, Kerry O'Brien etc etc), who are married/ partnered with ALP pollies; which is a breeding ground for ALP pollies(McKew, Rann, Delahunty,Martin, Brumby, Bracks etc etc) is asked to "try" to be impartial...and the ALP drone AndrewS sees THIS as politicization. Huh???
Mon 15 Mar 10 (08:24pm)
The climate just keeps a changin'.
How about that Amazon drought then?
Seems a lot wetter there too.
Will these Organziations allow an independant Audit of the raw data and their methodologies? ..considering that the CSIRO/BOM were/are committed to AGW…
it was awfull to hear the usual..sea levels rising/rain disappearing/more intense droughts/more severe weather events blah blah..
and this from a Director of an Organization that talks about the hottest decade on record when we STILL have some 9 months to the end of the first decade of this millenium.

you cannot have a years data at the start of 2000(start of the decade)
at the end of 2010-10 years of data
9 months of data to be collected…
9 years do not make a decade
BT-the pathetic handout was for children-full of motherhood statements-but no detail of how the data was treated-for eg..how was the UHI factored in? what algorithm did they apply-was it geographically weighted..was it..????
just like the unvalidated GCM'S of the IPCC-Why would i "trust them?"
cos they say "its true-trust us-we wouldn't lie to you"
and BT the BOM in its PDF still shows the HStick ....

Brendon is the guy who thinks a batsman on 99 has already scored his century. Likewise that 1999 runs actually means he's got TWO THOUSAND runs.
Brendon thinks that when that batsman gets run #2000 that that one is the first of the NEXT thousand..and not the COMPLETION of his SECOND THOUSAND.
Abd he laughs out loud. Huh?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:45pm)
Some writers like to point out that since the common calendar starts from the year 1, its first full decade contained the years from 1 to 10, the second decade from 11 to 20, and so on.[6] So while the "1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the "197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970.
Isobar = 1
Brendon = 0
Just smirks as Brandon laughs at himself.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:52pm)
Brendon what's the date under "Brendon replied to Isobar"
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:59pm)
Brendon has such a keen scientific mind we should take more notice of what he says..
and then do the opposite.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:15pm)
When did you all celebrate the new millenium?
Jan 1st 2000 or Jan 1st 2001 ??
Is the last year of the sixties 1970?
Does the eighties still have 9 months to go in March 1990?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:30pm)
You want to find out which ten years they are referring to? So follow the link above ...
Australia's mean temperature has increased 0.7 degrees since 1960.
The statement also finds average daily maximum temperatures have increased every decade for the past 50 years.
The report also found that the 2000s were Australia's warmest decade on record;
Nothing in those statements suggest that a decade of data would be finishing at the end of 2010.
Isobar = -2
Idiots racing to display their own stupidity = 4
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:46pm)
Big Ted… why shouldn't anybody be able to examine the data? We paid for it didn't we? Is it a secret? Or perhaps it's a bit dodgy?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:52pm)
"AndrewS ..you seem cornfused
reread my email and others..and tell us what don't you comprehend when it comes to collecting data for a time period..
at the end of a year..we look back and collate the info for that year passed..(a hot year..cold/wet/dry etc)
march 2010 and still 9 months of data to be read b4 end of year and also end of 1 st decade..
is that not clear?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (04:03pm)
brendon...are you a rare fool or just a handy tool to fool..you say
"Nothing in those statements suggest that a decade of data would be finishing at the end of 2010"
from the stopid propaganda sheet
"2000 to 2009 was Australia's warmest decade on record"
hallo..hallo ..anyone there?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (05:48pm)
Brendon. Some simple minds just can not comprehend simple calculations.
Let me make it REALLY REALLY simple for you. Take your time reading it. It also helps to scratch your head when reading. Ready?
There never was a year such as 01/01/0000, with me so far?
The very first day of the first year was 01/01/0001 (are you scratching)?
One full year then is 31/12/0001
There are 10 years in a decade.
(Do you need me to pause a while)?
So then the end of 10 years would be 31/12/0010
The end of the current decade would be 31/12/2010 NINE MONTHS TO GO
Are you still laughing? It's OK if you are because most people do laugh when they are embarrassed in public.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (08:07pm)
Isobar you are correct - 9 years do not a decade make ! The END of 2010 is the END of a 10 year period. The END of the year 2000, is the END of the previous decade. Too hard for you to understand Brendon ???
Mon 15 Mar 10 (09:57pm)
Look up the word "inclusive" numbnuts!!
Big difference between climate change and MAN MADE climate change.
One has been going on from day dot.
The other is a now completely discredited scam.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:04am)
Mon 15 Mar 10 (12:58pm)
But a small difference in the CO2 isotopes tells you who's producing what. Man-made CO2 atmospheric concentration is on the rise.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:52pm)
WOW Brendon a fifty point increase over 150 years, big deal - so when does these levels become Apocalyptic?
The attached is a good indication as to what effects of high CO2 levels have: ie we are talking concentrations up to 110,000ppm not the piss poor 385ppm.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:03pm)
Braindead Brendon
An isotope is an atomic variant of an element signified by the atom containing a different number of neutrons.
CO2 is a molecule consisting of 1 carbon atom & 2 oxygen atoms.
The fact that you can't grasp this simplest of concepts that most gr8 students can shows just how much your posts on "climate change" are worth.
Less gullibility & more healthy skepticism & a desire to learn will do wonders for you failed intellect.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:52pm)
Simple PaulM says ...
An isotope is an atomic variant of an element signified by the atom containing a different number of neutrons.
That's great PaulM, but perhaps you didn't realise not all CO2 is made the same.
Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons, carbon 13 has 7 neutrons.
Plants have a lower C13/C12 ratio than that found in the atmosphere. As our manmade CO2 is emitted, the atmospheric C13/C12 ratio falls.
And guess what the studies say ...
So take your own advice and study a little more before ineptly attempting to riddicule others.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (04:39pm)
Brendon, why has the world been cooling for the last decade? He asks driving a truck through the AGW myth.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (06:13pm)
Braindead Brendon What part of an isotope is an atomic variant of an element is beyond your comprehension. Carbon Dioxide is not an element it is a molecule.
If you want to refer to carbon isotopes you are refering to elemental carbon, a black powdery substance not Carbon Dioxide, a colourless & odourless gas.
As for your science, nothing in that article explains why we have lower temps at higher CO2 levels than the science you all worship predicted we would. Nor does it show any proof that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are the driving force of climate change. Let alone explain why increases in CO2 levels lag increases in temperature. But hey, you're the mental giant, you shoud have no problems prooving that ACO2 is the primary driver of climate?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (06:26pm)
The paper brendon cites concludes with the following…
Major future challenges are to improve interlaboratory
precision of isotopic measurements in order to compare results from different laboratories on a very high level of precision. In addition, the isotopic connection of different chemical species or different types of archives needs further improvement, and the (isotopic) fractionation between compartments is not established well enough to allow conclusions to be drawn unequivocally.
Just because a paper is "peer reviewed" and published doesn't make it a bible. The paper you cite is just a hypothesis.
By the way, what's the difference between the CO2 from my beautiful wood fired stove and the CO2 from the immense (natural) forest and bush fires? Can you find my fingerprints?
"...The head of the CSIRO, Dr Megan Clark, says the evidence of global warming is unquestionable, and in Australia it is backed by years of robust research..."
The evidence of collusion and deception is also unquestionable.
Where is the data from all the "years of robust research"?
It should be made freely available...after all I paid for it.
That this issue remains so contentious and in dispute suggests the head of CSIRO is either deluded or lying to protect her job.

Andrew you just have to google 'climategate' to get the full picture of data fabrication and opacity, collusion to exclude publication by anyone with contrary science, ensuring everyone is 'on message' and thwarting of critics.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:16pm)
Andrew asks:
"Where is your evidence for collusion and deception?"
Look no further than the statement being made: "The report states that temperature observations, among others indicators, ''clearly demonstrate climate change is real''."
This alone represents an egregious deception, as the entire issue is not whether climate change is 'real', but what drives it - and they know it.
Thanks for enabling such an easy slapdown. Do come again soon.
F*** the Met and F*** the CSIRO - we don't deny the climate is changing, you stupid idiots; we deny that anthropogenic CO2 release is the major or only driver thereof. Stop being so disingenuous; we know what you're trying to do and we don't approve.
My advice to school-leavers is to train as a meteorologist, because the new government is going to gut the bureau in its fury when it gets in, and rightly so. Never mind that they're acting under orders - they can't be trusted any more.

Please note the Earth is not a greenhouse, it is surrounded by a layer of atmosphere exposed to the absolute zero of deep space.
We can measure the contribution this makes to climate.
where is the evidence for this?
All components of the atmosphere retaind heat - O2, H2O, and N. Which ones do humand produce?
CO2? this represents how much of the atmosphere?

Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:57pm)
Disturbed, the distinction between anthropogenic and biogenic was lost a long time ago unfortunately. We have shoddy journalism and a poorly educated public to thank for that.
And Eccles, CO2 might be 0.00246% of the atmosphere on Goonsville but it is approx 0.0387% on planet Earth. Interesting that such a small percentage can have such a big effect isn't it?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:58pm)
Andrew S,
Do you mean peer review or your peer-to-peer review?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:31pm)
Imagine one kilometre of atmosphere that you want to clean up. For the sake of the discussion, imagine you could walk along it.
The first 770 metres are Nitrogen.
The next 210 metres are Oxygen.
That's 980 metres of the 1 kilometre. Just 20 metres to go.
The next 10 metres are water vapour. Just 10 metres left to go.
9 metres are argon. 1 metre left out of 1 kilometre.
A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre.
The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre – that's carbon dioxide.
A bit over one foot.
97% is produced by Mother Nature. It's natural. It has always been in the atmosphere otherwise plants couldn't grow.
Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left. About half an inch. Just over a centimetre.
That's the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.
And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre.
Less than the thickness of a hair. Out of a kilometre.
So in every kilometre of atmosphere, complete with green-house gases regulating the climate - in every kilometre reflecting back and retaining the sun's heat on earth, just .18 of one millimetre is contributed by Australia's carbon dioxide emissions.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (02:54pm)
0.0387% on planet Earth. - so I guess you are not talking about the MAN MADE COMPONENT. So man can now control the natural component of CO2....
Mon 15 Mar 10 (03:38pm)
Angry, so you find a visual helps you understand the composition of the atmosphere? Good for you.
Yes it is amazing that 0.038% of the atmosphere can have such a large effect. I hope you were intending your post to achieve anything.
Once again your ego has the better of you.
Why don't you direct your readers to a talk by Bill Gates on issues pertaining to climate change and resources?

howardp of Yass; "Gates has far more to offer than you"??
You are absolutely correct Howard, Gates has more to offer, it,s called 'Conflict of Interest", like Gore, this man has millions, billions, invested in this green energy garbage. For me he has no more credability than snake oil salesman Gore.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (12:41pm)
Is that Bill Gates the distinguished climatologist or the billionaire who has made his money out of electrically powered equipment?
Just how big is the Gates Microsoft "carbon footprint"?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (12:53pm)
And what are Bill Gates' qualifications to talk on such matters?
Isn't his company responsible for the millions & millions of computers now and in the future going to landfills contaminating the planet?
Why are all billionaire's experts on the climate now? Is he showering with a bucket? Does he have only a small house? Does he drive an electric car?
Mon 15 Mar 10 (01:16pm)
I wonder if Lee and watty have thought about the computers and internet they use to express their conspiratorial garbage. Gates had a role to play in that technology.
Do your really think Gates has any need for more wealth? You probably don't but I guess it helps with the deniers conspiratorial theories.
Fortunately the world does have few people with the capacity to see and respond to the big picture.
I am afraid, Lee and watty, you are the very people that will delay efforts to address climate change and the related issues of "Peak Oil', other resource depletion and growth in population.
Just keep on following your leaders; like Mr Bolt. That is a lot easier than really thinking about the big picture.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (04:27pm)
Yes "howardp of Yass", Gates certainly has something to offer that Andrew Bolt hasn't got.....
Now go back to sleep!
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:18pm)
Howardp, your opinions are a joke, why should I have a problem using a computer, driving a car or anything else I wish to do?

Prior to the olympics in China his apartment there was shown on T.V. The most outrageous display of NOUVEAU wealth I have seen in a long time, and all those poor Chinese moved out of Bejing for the likes of people like him? That,s a man that really cares.
Tue 16 Mar 10 (01:04am)
I guess the highway diversion around Yass has effected Howard's sense of reality.
I'm contiually amazed by all these AGW desciples speaking of the ills and impact of CO2 yet have no qualms sitting up at night, presumably with a light on somewhere, using a PC/Laptop/Netbook and who knows what other peripherals to give their opinion.
One would have thought that if they were serious in their belief of AGW then they would be in bed at straight after eating dinner. Why do these AGW morons still sit up posting comments using electricy generated by coal on a PC made from plastic derived from Oil production, and copper from mining when they know they are killing the planet...?
When the AGW commentors stop blogging then maybe I'll take them seriously. Surely using a personal PC to blog is non essential and damging to their beloved gaia.
The subversives, of which CSIRO and BOM, have proven their membership, along with the ABC, never cease their ridiculous tirade of unscientific nonsense.
The basic issue is whether human emissions have any significance in global warming, and despite the efforts of the "scientists" to mislead, the answer, so far, is NO.
There has been no science backed statement that humand emissions play any significant part in global warming.
The mendacious IPCC, say that it is "very likely", based on some unallocated warming which was "likely" to have arisen from human emissions.
That warming is now shown to be all from natural causes, leaving no room for the unscientific assertion of the IPCC.
No problem to the warmeciles. Just adopt AGW as a false premise, and spout nonsense based on its existence.
The AGW support base is corruption and lies emanating from the UN. Ther is no scientific base for it.

More CSIRO dishonesty unquestioningly
reported by The Daily Telegraph.
Scientists releasing hard facts
The CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology will today release a State of The Climate Document. a snapshot of Australia's cliamte data and trend predictions.
The apolitical science organisations…
"evidence of human influence has been detected in ocean warming…
There is a lot of noise out there..... Dr. Clarke said the CSIRO had moved on from debat about it happening to planning for the changes to come.
Gee, I didn't think the CSIRO had EVER debated climate change, instead busying themselves sliming the honest sceptics among Australia's scientists. And since when has the CSIRO been "apolitical"?
There are so many inaccuracies in just a few paragraphs, you have to wonder why the editor, Gary Linnel is asleep at the wheel allowing this crap to appear!
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:12am)
My own opinion there is a day of reckoning for every perverse act and the heads of these organizations, in kowtowing to Plenty Wrong,and going off on this intentional misleading track, are leaving themselves wide open for the neck lowering boom leveling that will indubitably occur.
In addition they leave themselves, and their organizations, open to recriminations to follow - refer the British Weather Bureau.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:13am)
The release is just a joke and mere PR. It is actually scandalous when you think about it.
From the bodgy 'drought report' a few years ago where they tried to stop the data being released (using all the same old and – dare I say it – crooked – arguments about intellectual property, all part of the template from CRU and the climategate team) and it being smashed.
See it all laid bare here (and get the story on how "professional" this CSIRO was that far back:-
I also remember a leading Australian BOM man mentioned in the emails as deliberately obstructing FOI from Steve McIntyre (search the emails for 'David Jones' and you will see it). No need to wonder about why that policy was adopted!!
This is part of the shameful rubbish we are seeing. Don't worry though, the work of many people, eg Warwick Hughes on the many temperature 'fixes', the ridiculous Darwin and Mackay measurements, the crooked Melbourne 'record' of a few weeks back and on it goes. This is a flimsy attempt to hold the line but the facts are against them.
Wait until we see many more of the Australian fixes being properly tested.
Mon 15 Mar 10 (11:14am)
Mon 15 Mar 10 (03:02pm)
And, when can we get a proper audit of Aussie weather stations, a la WUWT, complete with specs of the instrumentation and calibration logs? My bet is that we won't and without them, the basic data are worthless.
You mention "the two fingers to its chairman". That is exactly what I thought this morning when I heard the segment you refer to, Andrew. It is the ABC journalists acting like spoiled school children. In other words they want to show how "tough" they are and will not be swayed by reason, fairness, objectivity or their hated chairman. Madness.

Escape clause:
CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology use scientific modelling based on the laws of physics and thoroughly tested against recorded observations. Models make assumptions about future events such as CO2 emissions, and are designed to paint a picture of a series of possible future states based on known facts. Because models are representations of the future based on a range of emission scenarios, they tend to produce a range of results, as opposed to observations which are accurate measures of an event that has already occurred. Models are based on an understanding of fundamental science and increased computer capacity allows us to make projections with increased accuracy.
"Interesting" that they should choose the coldest period of the 20th century as a "baseline".
The report itself is an excellent example of chartmanship in that propaganda leaflet.
If that weren't enough, the CSIRO Chief Exec likens the "debate" to that of smoking/lung-cancer. (in The Ague's article)

She used the same 'cancer/smoking' link in the ABC story and I think it only fair that her contract not be renewed.
Fifth, it claims rainfall has been constant when it has quite clearly increased. Very important rainfall, as higher temperatures are less important if you have enough water.

"Music is the universal language of humanity, no limits and no boundaries. It is a wonderful gift and must be used with the soul to touch the hearts of the people and give life to the feelings that connect us all in a moment of unforgettable magic. This is how I live my life"

This is the song I hummed in my head, to pace my breathing while we were hiking last week.
Glad there weren't any of those pesky bouder bumping goats out there!
Ain't THAT the truth. In fact, wildlife was conspicuous by its absence. I saw a handful of BIRDS, and 2 of them were wild turkeys. In 4 days!
Well, I figure the slapping of the mosquitos and loud cursing should most likely scare most wildlife away from me. Yet, sadly, a snake STILL insisted on crawling over my foot last week. I suppose since it's been hangin' around here for many years, it figures that it's part of the family.
Valda-ri, valda-ra!
I remembered! "Valda-ri, valda-rahahahahaha!"
And my 'knapsack' weighed in around 18 pounds!

December 10 2014 07:30AM
Ever since the Jets were reincarnated, goaltending has been a favourite focus of controversy and that doesn't seem to be changing. Well, in today's WWYD Wednesday, that's our focus.
In previous years, the main topic of discussion was Ondrej Pavelec's incompetence as a number-one goaltender in the National Hockey League. For years, it was debated that the Jets would never be able to compete for a playoff spot with Pavelec in the crease. Well, the Jets are in competition for that playoff spot and Pavelec is still part of the team...however he's not the main reason.
Kane Suspended Two Games: Playing without Evander
Kevin McCartney
December 09 2014 11:58AM
Evander Kane was suspended for two games for his hit from behind on Clayton Stoner. The loss comes at a difficult time for the Jets. Not only are they facing two Divisional opponents in those games, but injuries to Enstrom, Bogosian, and Clitsome have forced Byfuglien back on defence and thinned out an already shallow roster.
The structure offered by Paul Maurice has made it possible for less talented or less experienced players to keep up and contribute at the NHL level. A team that once drowned with players like Halischuk or Postma on the ice is now able to stay competitive with tighter gaps and more conviction in their defence.
Still, the league's 28th ranked offence is losing a natural scorer, a physical forechecker, and a speedy presence on the wing. What will it mean for the Jets?
Future Plans: Dec. 9, 2014
Andrew Halipchuk
December 09 2014 01:15AM
No matter how good or poor a team is playing, fans always seem to be concerned about a team's prospect list and who will be the next player to make a difference on the team. The Jets' faithful are no different
In the past two weeks since our last Future Plans, Winnipeg's AHL affiliate the St. John's IceCaps had a rough spell being shutout in three of five games and scoring just seven goals in their two victories.
St. John's IceCaps Update: DECEMBER 8
Trin Potratz
December 08 2014 08:57PM
The St.John's IceCaps find themselves on the outside of the playoff picture as of now, and the team has lost three of its last four following a five-game winning streak.
The IceCaps are a solid mix of up-and-coming B-level prospects and AHL veterans, and one of the brightest arrows on the club is rookie pro goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, while the early returns on Keaton Ellerby and Scott Kosmachuk are underwhelming.
Much like Lowetide's "Weekend Update" on OilersNation, i'll be looking into the Jets prospects with a special look at the farm club.
Jets Weekly Preview #10: Before the Storm
Kevin McCartney
December 08 2014 02:57PM
It's week ten of the season already, and the Jets are off to their best start in history at 14-9-5. The Jets took five of a possible six points out of their home stand this past week, finally reaching a positive home record on the year at 6-5-2 and ending week nine with an even goal differential for the first time all year. In other words, who is this team?!
Inside we'll look at the week up-coming.

My car has been waiting to be repaired by GEICO for over two months now.
After I filed a complaint with Texas Department of Insurance; GEICO's manager (Arnie) contacted me on May 7, 2014 at 12:10pm and said they were going to have my car towed over to a mercedes repair shop. I waited all day but no one called or came to tow the car. I contacted GEICO numerous times but each time they asked me to wait. As of taoday, May 11, 2014; I am still waiting...
My car is not drivable and parked in the garage is causing additional damages to the car; the car is now almost sitting on the front right wheel.

A brand new poster featuring all the characters of Conan the Barbarian has been unveiled. While MTV has debuted a new TV spot. View the trailer right here!
Expect more promotion as the August 19th release date nears!

A UK trailer for Conan has been released. Watch it in our media archives.
Speaking of videos, our McGowan Media section is still acting a bit wonky. We're not entirely sure of the issue but the quality of videos might not be of past quality and we'd like to apologize. We're hoping to have it fixed soon.
A brand new red band trailer has been released for Conan the Barbarian. It features a brief new look at Rose McGowan's Marique. Check out the trailer over at IGN or under the cut. Screencaps will be available soon.
Please note that we're currently having problems with McGowan Media, our video archive, so we are unable to update it with new videos. However, we're working on solving the issue and McGowan Media will be back with regular updates soon! Apologies for any inconvenience.

Lionsgate just released this TV spot for the upcoming film Conan the Barbarian by director Marcus Nispel.
Following the previous post that features an interview with Darren Stein, I've uploaded the videos of The Jawbreaker Diaries footage that he briefly discusses. These are a really fantastic watch and feature some very rare behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of the movie. Screencaps are also available in the gallery for you to check out. Could Rose possibly be any more adorable?
– Jawbreaker: The Jawbreaker Diaries
The theatrical trailer for Conan the Barbarian has been released and it features several sneak peeks at Rose McGowan's villaneous character Marique. This role looks to be something entirely different for Rose – can't wait! Watch the trailer in glorious HD over at Yahoo! for the full epicness!
– Conan: Trailer #1
Rose McGowan has been attending the 2011 Turner Classic Movies Festival these past few days in Hollywood. Rose, of course, co-hosted The Essentials in 2008 and is an avid classic film enthusiast. On the opening day of the fest, she attended the screening of An American in Paris. On April 30, she helped honor former Phantoms co-star Peter O'Toole at a hand and footprints ceremony. Miss McGowan looked gorgeous and happy at both events!
Courtesy of Laura (aka Rose McGowan Fans channel at YouTube), a few videos have been added to the media archive.
Tonight Rose will introduce a screening of A Place in the Sun at the festival. Best of luck, Rose!

I finally got ahold of the Machete DVD, which comes with three deleted scenes that feature Rose McGowan as the insanely cool and equally deadly assassin, Boots McCoy. I've added the screencaptures of Rose's scenes in the gallery plus made video clips for your viewing pleasure. You can check out all of the clips right over here at McGowan Media.
A word of warning, though. Hardcore cat lovers might find the scene titled "Boots McCoy shoots Luz" offensive. Consider yourselves warned! 😉
– Machete: DVD Screencaptures – Deleted Scenes
Rose is featured as the iconic cartoon sexpot Betty Boop in a Funny or Die trailer parody called Boop. The short was directed and written by Ryan Perez and also stars Billy Zane. Rose shows her fabulous comedic chops and couldn't be more adorable in this fun little side project! Screencaps are in the gallery and the clip can be watched in our media archive (after the jump) or on their official website in higher quality.

Hollywood has been rallying to help earthquake/tsunami victims in Japan any way they can but on Thursday actress Rose McGowan admitted to a feeling of helplessness concerning the matter.
"My stand-in on the movie I'm doing right now, she's half Japanese, her whole family's from Sendai and four of them are missing," Rose said at a Millennium Network event in Los Angeles. "It's brutal to watch her go through it."
The Millennium Network helps connect people under the age of 45, getting them involved with the Clinton Foundation which has helped millions of HIV/AIDS victims by giving them the opportunity to obtain treatment.
Despite her donations to the Red Cross, Rose admitted to harboring a feeling of impotence, wishing she could do more.

It's been down ever since and I tried to cancel my account on SEVERAL occasions, by phone and email. I never could get through to anyone on the Toll Free number (customer service rings about 8 times and then says: "this voice mail is not taking messages" and hangs up.
Today, I was billed $55.90 out of nowhere and I still cannot get ahold of anyone. I now have to file a claim through my bank and lose money on over-draft fees thanks to this company! They never sent me ANY confirmation, reminders, NOTHING! NOBODY can be contacted through Email or Toll free line. This company is PURE-SCAM-ARTISTS!

"Very friendly and helpful staff. The room and hotel was clean; it is an older hotel so keep that in mind. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel & it was good. We booked a room with double bed.

"This hotel was exactly what we wanted, and then some. We wanted to be in a comfortable, affordable place near the Cliffs of Moher. This was all that and then some.
