Wave moth. Cream wave?
Observed: 19th July 2011 By: pajodor
Added: 20th July 2011
Size of Riband wave but more white than those I have caught before. Rather shiny. Shape of leading edge more like cream wave. Colour more like Lesser cream wave but they seem smaller and have 4 dots. 32mm from wing tip to wing tip as in photo

Amin (3:01 PM)
Hi guys! Excited for another edition of SportsNation chat....without further ado, let's get started
Daniel (Australia)
Hey, I've been loving the insight you have provided in your first few chats. It's truly great for fans and readers to be able to get the opportunity to chat with people like yourself.My question is: If you were replacing David Stern in February, what would be your first major change/addition to the league?
Amin (3:02 PM)
Thanks, Daniel. If I were commissioner, the first major change I'd make is to fix the draft. Conservatively, I'd make the draft lottery equal weights and tie revenue sharing portions to wins for non-playoff teams, eliminating some of the incentive for teams to tank. If I were allowed to go nuts, I'd do away with the draft altogether!
Frank (DC)
Which would be better for the Wizards, making the playoffs or getting rid of Ernie Grunfeld?
Amin (3:02 PM)
Ernie was once one of the elite GMs in the league, but his tenure in Washington has left a lot to be desired. That said, he made the changes necessary and the team he put together is starting to gel. Do you believe he's learned his lesson or is he due for a "relapse"? Whether or not the Wizards make the playoffs is sort of only tangential to that.
Deven (New York, NY)
Do you think the Atlantic Division is wide open now that the Knicks and Nets are struggling?
Amin (3:03 PM)
Not really. I think Philly and Boston will continue to spiral downward as the season wears on. Toronto will be in the mix but they have their own set of issues. I think the Knicks will pick up again when Tyson Chandler returns from injury.
Keith (Harper Woods, MI)
The 3 bigs lineup in Detroit is just not working at all. It would be one thing if they were just having spacing issues, or getting confused in rotations, but everything they do with all 3 on the court is a disaster. The team is obviously better playing only two of them at a time, and in theory could do so all game by staggering rotations.But, with the incredible unlikelihood of Cheeks benching any of Detroit's big men to start the game, it seems like someone has to be moved. Have you heard any trade rumors swirling in Detroit? If you were Joe Dumars (or a version of Joe Dumars that didn't ruin the last half decade for Piston fans), which player between Smith and Monroe would you try to move, and how much would you expect either could fetch?
Amin (3:03 PM)
Excellent observation, Keith. I wrote during the offseason about these very issues potentially affecting Detroit. The problem with trying to trade Smith is he's locked into that deal, which will scare away most suitors. Monroe might generate more interest, but any team trying to acquire him will risk losing him in the offseason to restricted free agency (unless they are convinced he's a max level player). If I'm Detroit, my best option is to make them look as attractive as possible, and that means benching one (probably Monroe) and playing a 3-man rotation through those 2 big spots.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
Who is the Worst NBA Team So Far in the 2013-2014 Season?
Amin (3:04 PM)
Record don't lie. If you've only won one game in your first thirteen, chances are you're the worst team. (I'm looking at you, Utah)
Ariel (Dallas)
Amin, do players like Brandon Jennings realize that their poor shot selection and taking too many shots actually hurts their team? It also seems to reflect on poor coaching to allow that to happen, especially in Detroit with their big frontline.
Amin (3:04 PM)
Sometimes players are coached to be "aggressive" offensively, as it opens up other parts of their game. And sometimes players actually believe they are taking good shots, and that shots just aren't dropping. Jennings' coaches/teammates need to speak up to him about his shot selection, or else he'll think everything is going just as planned.
p diddy (arkansas)
Grizz looked impressive in California. 6 TO in an overtime game @GSW. They appear to be settling in under their new coach. Should the West start worrying?
Amin (3:05 PM)
I told y'all not to panic! http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=9943328 ...as far as the rest of the West, I doubt they ever stopped worrying. The top of the conference is a six horse race between (in no order) the Spurs, Grizzlies, Clippers, Thunder, Rockets, and Warriors. It will be a dog fight all year long.
Dave [via mobile]
Is this a workable deal? Rockets receive Carmelo, kings recieve: asik, Ryan Anderson, rockets 1st. Knicks receive Lin and cousins. Pelicans receive chandler. Probably to creative to work
Amin (3:05 PM)
If you follow me on Twitter (@AminESPN), you'll know I abhor entertaining hypothetical "who says no?" deals.
THATkrazGUY (NYC)
Are the Spurs currently the clear favorites in the West? Who else do you think can seriously contend?
Amin (3:06 PM)
Like I said in a previous answer, the top of the West is a six horse race.
Frank (Louisville)
Do you see any teams currently on track for the late lottery/fringe playoff contention moving their 2014 first round pick for another piece to help their playoff chase? And on the other side, is there a team in fringe playoff contention that will unload a player for next-to-nothing to increase their lottery odds?
Amin (3:06 PM)
Good question, but still too early to say! Get back to me after New Year's!
Mike Watson (San Diego CA)
What do you think will occur when Kobe comes back into action for the Lakers? Do you believe that he will take over the regins and run the offense or allow D'Antoni's system to run?
Amin (3:06 PM)
To be honest, I think he is going to struggle, then go back on the inactive list for another month or so. Trying to come back from a ruptured Achilles tendon is a difficult endeavor. For a really good explanation, check out this Insider piece from Dr Mark Adickes, who is an orthopedic surgeon: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10006042/assessing-kobe-bryant-injury-return-frame-projected-production-nba
Onur (Nuremberg, Germany)
What's the Lakers' perspective for the next few years? Do you think they can be succesful on the free agent market?
Amin (3:07 PM)
Well, the good news is they have their first round pick in a deep draft and a ton of cap space this summer. The important thing is to avoid spending for spending's sake, meaning if they don't swing any home run deals, to build patiently and invest wisely in flexible deals.
THATkrazGUY (NYC)
Who's your favorite League Pass team so far?
Amin (3:08 PM)
Golden State
Christopher (New York)
Do you think Chris Paul can ever overtake Magic Johnson as the greatest point guard ever?
Amin (3:10 PM)
I grew up with Magic Johnson as the standard bearer for point guards, and feel like he embodied the truest form, as someone who made people better on the court and made them feel better about themselves (on and off it) through positivity and energy. I suppose some day someone will come along and knock Magic off that pedestal, but I don't see it happening soon.
Keanu (Honolulu)
Hi Amin, do you think Terence Jones can be the answer at PF for the Rockets?
Amin (3:12 PM)
At the bare minimum, the power forward for the Rockets has to be able to (a) move his feet defensively along the perimeter (b) be a decent rebounder and (c) space the floor. Jones is performing well enough in those categories to be a temporary fix, but I think they are looking for a little more to win the job permanently
Mel (Colorado Springs)
Amin, how big of a loss will Jimmy Butler be to the Bulls?
Amin (3:14 PM)
Pretty big loss, considering this is a team that's known to suffer from injuries and Coach Thibodeaux's penchant for playing his guys high minutes. You have to wonder if the rest of the rotation guys can handle a higher minute load. It also means the Bulls will have to turn to rookie Tony Snell, who has the tools to be pretty good in the Butler role, but is still very much a raw talent.
Patrick (New Jersey)
How good do you think Jabari Parker can end up being in the NBA?
Amin (3:15 PM)
Pretty good. He's such a skilled guy for someone his age and has really advanced feel for the game. I'd like to see him tone up his body more (much like Deron Williams, Kevin Love and James Harden all did prior to going pro), and he has to get better defensively. Let's keep watching him this season to see how he develops
Deven (New York, NY)
Do the Knicks need to make a big splash to play alongside Melo?
Amin (3:18 PM)
I think the Knicks need to stop trying to make "splashes" and just build their team using solid scouting and analysis. Stop trying to win the back page of the Post and the News!
Kobe (New York)
Where does Kobe rank among the all time player rankings in your opinion?
Amin (3:19 PM)
Ranking all-time players is always a tough proposition. How do you compare between eras? That said, in no order Magic, MJ, Bird, Kareem, Russell, Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, LeBron and Kobe are my top 10. Aw shucks, I left out Oscar!
Bryan (Springdale, AR)
Mr. Elhassan, is this Dirk/Ellis combo going to end up being one of the top 5 scoring duo's in the league at the end of the year?
Amin (3:20 PM)
That all depends on whether this new improved Monta can keep playing the type of disciplined game he's shown so far....the talent is definitely there, and Coach Carlisle will put them in a position to be successful
Ed (Queens Village)
Atlantic Division so far looks like NFC East mediocre. If you had to O/U 45.5 wins for Atlantic Division Champion?
Amin (3:21 PM)
Great question. I'm going SLIGHTLY over: 46 wins captures the Atlantic
kris (huntington beach, CA)
If Kobe returns, plays at the same level he did last year 27/6/6, and the Lakers get to 50 wins, what do you think his chances of winning the MVP will be?
Amin (3:22 PM)
Let me save you the aggravation Kris: Kobe's not posting those numbers, the Lakers aren't winning 50, and the MVP will not be wearing purple and gold this year.
David Vertsberger (New York)
Amin, why do you hate Kobe Bryant?
Amin (3:22 PM)
I don't! He's one of my favorite players. But I have a realistic view of the world that often clashes with the idol worship many of his devout "fans" practice....truth hurts sometimes.
James (SLC)
If you plug in Jabari Parker on the Jazz instead of Richard Jefferson, do they make the playoffs next year?
Amin (3:23 PM)
Haha! Thinking ahead...I like it! I think the Jazz need to shore up the point guard position and the bench, and Favors needs to continue developing as an offensive threat before we can start talking "PLAYOFFS?!?" *Jim Mora voice*
Kyle (BK)
In your honest opinion, do you think Brooklyn ever changes their name from "Nets"?
Amin (3:24 PM)
I don't think so....I think they've made it clear their main branding is the Brooklyn name, and the team name is kind of secondary. What name would you choose if they did switch?
Mike (Bay Area)
Were you trolling twitter when you said Future was good?
Zach (MIN)
Why don't more people appreciate good word play on Twitter?
Amin (3:26 PM)
I think the problem lies when quantity > quality!
Dale P (Atlanta, GA)
With the limited flexibility the Knicks have, what two moves would you make if you were GM to turn that franchise around this season?
Amin (3:27 PM)
To be honest, if I'm the Knicks GM, I accept that this season (and probably next) are lost causes, and focus on planning my turnaround in 2015.
Adam (New Orleans)
Amin, in your mind, are we at the point where any conversation about the top 5 players in the league has to include Anthony Davis?
Amin (3:28 PM)
Slow down! Davis is off to an awesome start, and it's exciting to watch (and be a part of, for the 'Cans fan base), but let's not put unrealistic expectations too soon on the kid. Let's relish these moments!
Louie (Vancouver, BC)
Who is the best player ever to take part in the Beach Ball Classic? Asking for a friend.
Amin (3:29 PM)
It's a tie between Ray Felton and Ramon Sessions
Isaac (Cleveland)
Do you see think the Cavs will make the playoffs? Should they send Bennett down to the D league?
Amin (3:30 PM)
I had the Cavs as a playoff team before the season kicked off, but they've been dismal, particularly offensively. Still holding out hope they figure it out. As for Bennett, I think keeping him with the "senior" team is best for his confidence right now. Even though it shouldn't be perceived as a negative, sending rhe #1 overall pick to the D-League could be damaging to his confidence.
Chris (England)
Would you rather be you, with your face and your legs, and the brain of a chimpanzee...or would you rather be a chimpanzee, but with your brain?
Amin (3:31 PM)
Never give up my brain. Chimp Amin it is!
Andrew (Tdot)
DeRozen is looking pretty good so far. Do you think his trade value is higher than Gaye's? And which of the two, or both, do you think Ujiri should be looking to move? Since its pretty clear they can't work together on the wing.
Amin (3:32 PM)
I think both of them are overpaid with regard to what they bring to the table, so I'd try to move both. But if I had to choose one, DeRozan is younger and has a more reasonable average annual salary.
Nate (Madison)
I understand that Owner Herb Kohl doesn't want the Bucks to tank, but will the Bucks "benefit" from the injuries and actually unintentionally end up being one of the worse teams and possibly lock down a top pick this year? (Only way they'll get a potential superstar there is through the draft)
Amin (3:32 PM)
If you're a Bucks fan, that's what you should be hoping for. Plus it would be nice to see a team that didn't intentionally suck end up with a star in the draft.
Deven (New York, NY)
How are you answering our questions in a minute or less? Impressive!
Amin (3:34 PM)
Twitter has trained me how to type quickly when responding to people! Thanks Twitter!
Sam (Cambridge)
Might of been crazy to even ask a year ago, but who do you like more going forward, Irving or Bledsoe?
Amin (3:35 PM)
Bledsoe is having a heck of a year, but I still think Kyrie is something special.
Draco (Hogwarts)
Do you think the Cavs have messed up too badly in the draft? Thompson has been solid, but they could've had Jonas. Dion Waiters could've been Harrison Barnes. And Bennet could've been many Noel/McLemore/etc. Seems like they're missing in the draft BADLY.
Amin (3:36 PM)
I don't know that they messed up "badly" but they definitely took some incongruent pieces. I, like you, would have taken Jonas and Harrison, and then would have taken Oladipo this year. But you can't play the game that way, because every pick you make might change the course of the following season, meaning who knows if they would have had all these great lottery picks!
Jeff (Boston, MA)
What type of contract can Gordon Hayward expect next season? Thought he seemed like a more complete scorer than what I was expecting when I saw him play this year.
Amin (3:38 PM)
In my 2014 Free Agent Big Board, I have Hayward valued at about $10M per year, with incentives that can kick it up to $11.5M. But rival teams will look to overpay to discourage a match on an offer sheet, so who knows? My article (and free video) can be found here: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9941385/nba-top-30-free-agents-2014-ranked-average-annual-value-20
Paul (California)
Do you see the Clippers a contender or pretender?
Amin (3:39 PM)
Contender! I think Paul finally has the pieces surrounding him to take the next step. They still need to shore up the bench, especially defensively, but as I've said many a time, the West is a 6 horse race and the Clips are one of those horses
Mark (Milwaukee)
Have you been able to watch Giannis Antetokounmpo? Any thoughts about his game or potential?
Amin (3:40 PM)
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9977737/nba-ranking-just-how-ready-nba-year-rookiesI not only talk about him in the article, but there's free video accompanying it!
Tom (Boston)
Is the Sullinger/Olynyk combo a good start of a front line for the rebuilding celtics? Or are they better off looking for better players?
Amin (3:43 PM)
I like Sullinger....and I like Olynyk....but I don't know if you can get away with pairing two unathletic, defensive liability bigs. Either one of those two has to come off the bench behind an athletic, defensive big, or needs to be TRADED for an athletic defensive big.
Paul (Minnesota )
In you're mind how legitimate of a shot does Lebron James have to be the greatest of all time?
Amin (3:44 PM)
So tough to call someone the greatest. Is MJ greater than Kareem? Or Russell? How do you compare across eras, across positions? LeBron will be in the conversation (and should be in there already), but I don't know how you can ever unequivocally say "this guy is the best that ever did it"
Thomas (Indiana )
Do you think Paul George has surpassed Carmelo Anthony? And what are his chances of catching Kevin Durant?
Amin (3:45 PM)
Yes, i think George is a better player than Anthony because of his ability to impact both ends of the floor. But even that attribute doesn't come close to overtaking the brilliance of Durant.
Jerry (Dallas)
If Spurs stay healthy and they meet Miami in Finals, do Spurs bring home #5?
Amin (3:45 PM)
I don't know, but I know it will be a heck of a series to watch!
Charlie (Portland)
And now a serious question. With early success against an admittedly weak schedule, can you see Portland moving any younger guys(CJ, Robinson, Leonard) to bring in someone that helps with a playoff push? Or is the more likely result riding these guys and seeing what happens? Thanks.
Amin (3:46 PM)
I can't see the market being that hot for Leonard or Robinson, and Portland will want to see what CJ is about before shopping him. If you're the Blazers, patience is a virtue right now. Let the cake bake!
Dellis (DC)
Other than drafting Bradley Beal, has Ernie Grunfeld made a single good move since 2006?
Amin (3:47 PM)
Pawned JaVale McGee off for Nene.....drafting John Wall....signing Martell Webster....and hopefully, drafting Porter.
Dave (Phoenix)
Do you think Channing Frye is a good fit in Rocket land?
Amin (3:48 PM)
A "100%" Frye absolutely would be a good fit. He's one of the best shooters at the stretch 4 position and an underrated defender. But the current Frye is far from 100%.
Dellis (DC)
Do the Nets figure it out? Are Garnett, Pierce, and Johnson as done as they look?
Amin (3:51 PM)
The Nets CAN figure it out....and it's not as hard as it seems. KG and Pierce were not brought in to be focal points; rather, they are in the Grant Hill era of their careers, using their IQ to be high level role players who also can lift the play of their teammates. As soon as everyone accepts that and understands the ball has to go through Brook Lopez, the Nets will improve. But even then, as I've said from the very start, this team is not in the same class as Miami, Indiana and Chicago
Delicia (NC)
Who wins the East, the Heat or Pacers ?
Amin (3:51 PM)
I'm betting Miami as long as #6 is alive and well and playing for the Heat.
Wesley (Chicago)
What do you think is the best comparison for Chris Paul? Isiah Thomas? Kevin Johnson? Tim Hardaway?
Amin (3:52 PM)
Honestly? A better defending Steve Nash, especially since Chris came back from the knee injury a few years back.
conrad (ct)
You said early in that chat that you'd do away with the draft. what would you replace it with? FA right away?
Amin (3:54 PM)
I'd have a special provisional free agency for rookies only. Instead of draft picks, each team would get a draft salary exception to use to sign players, and the value of those exceptions decreases for better teams. You can either use your whole exception to sign one guy, or split it up. That way you are giving struggling teams help in the form of a big exception to recruit the best players, but not necessarily guaranteeing them anything.
Rick (TX)
What is it about the Phoenix medical staff that makes it so great?
Amin (3:55 PM)
They do a great job of making sure the whole body is operating correctly. For example, I sprained my ankle, and they had me doing back and hamstring exercises. They also hold guys accountable; you can't go into the weight room and give half-hearted effort. They make sure you do it right every time.
Ariel (Texas)
It's looking like Beasley was a good pick up for the Heat, and maybe can reach his potential in the coming years. Would be huge for the Heat!
Amin (3:56 PM)
Forgive me for retaining a certain amount of healthy skepticism as it pertains to Mr. Beasley.
brian (de)
Who is the best player that will be available for trade? Aaron Affalo?
Amin (3:57 PM)
If you've been following the NBA with even a quarter of your attention span engaged, you know that Omer Asik is the biggest fish on the trade market
Tom (Springfield)
What is the highest in the East you can see the Bobcats ending the season at? I'm hoping they can be a 9-10 fringe playoff team.
Amin (3:59 PM)
Wait, you mean THIS season?!
Alex (Utah)
Assuming Kobe returns from his injury: What do you see him doing over the next two years? I just can't see him playing two final years for a Laker team that doesn't have a chance at a championship especially if they won't pay him what he thinks he's worth. Something's got to give...
Alex (Utah)
What are the chances Kobe leave LA? I just can't see him wasting his final two years on a .500 team.
Amin (4:00 PM)
I think Kobe retires a Laker. I can't see him going anywhere else
Jeff (Delaware)
Amin, what happened to Tyreke Evans? Just the fourth rookie to average 20/5/5 along with the Big O, MJ, and LeBron. Now he's averaging a mere 9/3/5.
Amin (4:01 PM)
Well, right now he's not in the best situation as far as putting up stats. He's in a crowded rotation sharing the ball with two other high usage guards in a slow-tempo offense. As far as his rookie year numbers, that came with a bunch of freedom and very low team expectations. I think Evans is still a good player, although not the transcendent talent his rookie year statline would imply.
Andrew Wiggins (Toronto/Kansas)
Do you think I have a chance to be the greatest of all time?
Amin (4:02 PM)
Sorry, Andrew, I don't think you'll be in that conversation, although I think you'll be a great pro.
Ryan Z (Bay Area)
The Warriors are off to a strong start this season. What do you think they need to improve upon to have a serious shot at the title this year?
Amin (4:03 PM)
The bench play has to get stronger. I would advocate more minutes for Draymond Green in that capacity. But even so, I think they have as good a shot as anyone. Top 6 in the West
Matt (DC)
RE: Brooklyn name. They could go all in and brand themselves as the Dodgers. Wouldn't THAT be something?
Amin (4:04 PM)
I might be mistaken, but I think there is another professional sports organization that owns the right to that name!
Tones (Oregon)
If you add Carmelo anthony to the lakers with the roster as is and kobe bryant even 75% the player he was. How good is that team? Could it make it to the finals?
Amin (4:04 PM)
I think those two players are not a good fit, even if they are both 100%.
Cole (Portland)
Thoughts on the Blazers? Where do you see them ending up in the west?
Amin (4:06 PM)
The next 6 teams in the West (New Orleans, Portland, Dallas, Lakers, Minnesota, Denver) are all fighting for two spots, with Portland, Minnesota and Dallas the front runners.
Jessica (Montreal)
Can you imagine what would've happened if the thunder had drafted Steph curry instead of harden? They would've been absolutely unguardable!
Amin (4:07 PM)
Or would they have moved him also rather than pay him!(But seriously, I thought they would draft him in 2009)
Cwimnal (Fort Worth)
Dwight Howard's form looked really good on his free throws last night. Do you think he's figured that out, and if so, does that put the Rockets over the top?
Amin (4:10 PM)
As I understand it, Dwight is a guy who shoots well in practice, but then struggles during games. From my experience with Shaq in Phoenix, I've seen the guy shoot with completely different form on the practice court and make an incredibly high rate. Dwight getting past that mental block would be huge, but I still think the top of the West is tight.
Marshall (Silver Spring, MD)
Tell the truth - Jason Kidd is in over his head isn't he?
Amin (4:10 PM)
Any first time head coach would be over his head, especially with the cast of characters in that locker room. Phil Jackson wasn't the Zen Master over night
Ariel (Texas)
Steph Curry a better shooter than Larry Legend?
Amin (4:11 PM)
As blasphemous as this might seem......YES??
Alex (Portland)
Yeah, if y'all at ESPN could just continue to ignore the Trail Blazers' 8-game win streak and best record in the west in favor of slapping the Heat beating the Magic all over the front page of espn/NBA.....that'd be grreeeaaatt
Amin (4:11 PM)
Eric (Ri)
Ainge said adamantly that Rondo is the center of the C's future and will not be traded. 1) believe him? 2) do you think it is the right move?
Amin (4:12 PM)
If you do intend to deal Rondo, it makes no sense to do so when his value is at it's lowest. You want him to play and show he;s healthy to get better offers. Until then, heck yes he;s the center of your future!
Chris (OKC)
Do you see Perkins playing for OKC next year? Or even finishing this year with them for that matter?
Amin (4:13 PM)
I can honestly say that almost everyone (Thunder fan or otherwise) is hoping he doesn't. No offense, but he's brutal!
vic (no cal)
What does your gut tell you about Kevin Love's future in Minnesota? How dumb is KAHN going to look for not signing him to a max deal?
Amin (4:14 PM)
KAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHN! I think Love likes playing with Ricky, and loves playing for Coach Adelman, but wants to win. If the Wolves continue to improve, win games, get to the playoffs, I think he re-signs.
Adrian (Greenville)
Are the criticisms of D.Howard's post game fair in this day-and-age of the NBA?
Amin (4:16 PM)
Not really. I think his post game is fine in terms of footwork and moves and counters. Dwight's problem is he has awful touch on his shots (think about him as the guy with the million dollar move and 10 cent finish), and has lost a ton of explosion and lift, so shots that used to be dunks at the front of the rim are now touch shots that he struggles to make.
Amin (4:16 PM)
Last question...
Baron (Large, PA)
Favorite players of All-Time are Maravich and Walton and Magic and Jerome Lane and John Bagley and JKidd. Who are yours? Thanks
Amin (4:17 PM)
In no order, Walt Frazier, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Steve Nash and Grant Hill
Amin (4:18 PM)
Thanks again for a great chat with great questions! I'll be off next week for Thanksgiving, but back the following week. Until next time, take care of yourselves...and each other.

Haiyan: A Disaster Made Worse by Greed
Posted on Nov 14, 2013
While the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report is 95 percent confident that global warming is caused by human activity (there are very few areas of active research in which scientists are so confident), what falls out of the scope of the report is which humans are responsible. The Philippines, which is one of the poorest and least developed nations on the planet, has had little hand in creating the conditions that nurtured Typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda, as it's known locally), possibly the worst storm in recorded human history.
"It's just shocking. We've never seen anything like this before," Alex Montances said to me of Haiyan, which made landfall in the Philippines on Nov. 8. Montances is the Southern California regional coordinator for the National Alliance for Filipino Concerns and for him, the storm literally hit close to home. Montances' mother is from Tacloban in the province of Leyte, the hardest-hit area that was already suffering from the twin effects of poverty and environmentally destructive mining operations.
People and infrastructure have been washed away, children have been orphaned, families have been separated, homes have been flattened and, as of this writing, heavy rainfall was still hampering the survivors' ability to regroup, rescue others and simply live another day. The numbers are staggering. Nearly 10 million people are affected—about a tenth of the entire population of the Philippines. As many as 800,000 people have been displaced. Leyte's provincial governor estimated that 10,000 people were dead, and while it is still too early to account for all the fatalities, even the current official count of 2,300 is horrifically high.
Filipinos from all walks of life are grief stricken. Montances told me, "This really affects me on a personal level. Three or four of my cousins are still unaccounted for." Marycel Maxilom Campos, a Filipino working mother of two based in Southern California, told me that even though she didn't have relatives caught in the typhoon, she "can't help but cry watching how badly our country was hit and seeing families especially children washed away by the strong storm." Campos, who has undertaken her own one-woman effort collecting relief supplies to send to the devastated areas, added, "My heart breaks for my countrymen."
Naderev "Yeb" Saño, the Philippines' climate negotiator for the COP 19 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change meeting in Warsaw, Poland, shared his trauma publicly. Saño made a measured plea to the international community to take seriously the impact of climate change, but then spoke personally, breaking down in tears several times. He referred to his own "agony" waiting to hear from his relatives in the region.
Square, Site wide
The traumatized climate negotiator challenged those who deny that global warming is real and man-made, saying, "To anyone who continues to deny the reality that is climate change, I dare them to get off their ivory towers and away from the comfort of their armchairs." He added, "They may want to pay a visit to the Philippines right now."
Before Haiyan hit, Typhoon Bopha, which devastated Mindanao province in the Philippines in December, was at that time the worst storm in recorded history with wind speeds of up to 161 mph. Now, initial measurements show that Haiyan was even stronger than Bopha, leading some to suggest such "superstorms" are the new normal, fueled by a rapidly warming planet. Montances cites anecdotal evidence from his parents who live in the region, saying "storms always hit that area—it's a tropical country. But just they seem to be causing more and more havoc and they get bigger and bigger. ... A lot of that has to do with climate change."
Kuusela Hilo is a representative of PANAGHIUSA, a movement for human rights, peace and justice in Mindanao. Over the summer she participated in an international "solidarity mission" to deliver relief supplies to the survivors of Bopha (known locally as Pablo). She told me, "I will never forget the morning we gathered in Andap, New Bataan for a liturgical service. The tears just kept flowing. So many innocent people killed in one fell swoop. We were literally standing on a mass grave where more than 1,000 victims were killed due to the massive landslide triggered by Pablo."
Hilo is now reeling from news of the destruction wreaked by Typhoon Haiyan. She told me, "Every few hours I am hearing more news from my friends and colleagues that they have lost loved ones and have still not heard from other loved ones in the Philippines. I have never seen my mom crying so much for the Philippines and the world."
I asked Hilo if she saw any links between Western-fueled climate change and the victims of the storms. She told me, "Haiyan is a devastating example of how people in the Philippines and Southeast Asia are paying with their lives due to the exploitation of people and the plunder of resources. The reality is that we are all paying."

Turbo-Train 390 [Part Two]
I laughed at the stupidity of the name. "So, is this like a hotel?"
Now he was the one to laugh. "You really are the stupid one, aren't you?"
"This is just the transport." JUST THE TRANSPORT!? If this was 'just the transport' then what would the actual thing be like?
I sat down on my bed and felt around in my left pocket. Nothing was there, so I tried the right (and right) one. A small leaflet was in it, so I took it out and read it.
Bla bla bla, room, bla bla bla, pool on roof, bla bla bla, we hope you enjoy your stay. I fumbled around in my pocket and felt something else. A small box. I took it out. It was yellow with purple patches (Combining my favourite colours) and it had 'My Stuff' written on it. I opened it it and there was a key.
Suddenly I heard, "We're here!"

The Foreign Office (FCO) is to cut its counter-terrorism budget from £30m to £15m in spite of growing alarm caused by British youngsters joining extremist groups in Syria and Iraq. The cut is still to be formally announced in parliament but was reported on Monday in the Financial Times.
The FCO insisted it is misleading to portray this as a reduction in counter-terrorism efforts. A spokesperson said: "The FCO counter-terrorism programme fund is just one budget used to provide some forms of terrorism-related assistance to foreign countries.
"This has been revised so that we re-focus it where the FCO can have the most impact and to move some areas to other government departments who are better placed to carry out that work. But the spend continues."
The FCO budget is a relatively small part of Britain's counter-terrorism operations, which are predominantly led by the police and intelligence agencies.
The remainder of the FCO counter-terrorism budget will be targeted at helping several countries, including Syria's neighbours – Jordan, Iraq and Turkey – as well as Nigeria, Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia.

Stereo 20W Class D Audio Amplifier - MAX9744
Pump up the volume with this 20W stereo amplifier! This slim little board has a class D amplifier onboard that can drive 2 channels of 4-8 ohm impedance speakers at 20W each. Power it with 5-12VDC using the onboard DC power jack and plug stereo line level into the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack and jam out with ease. Since it's class D, its completely cool-running, no heat sinks are required and it's extremely efficient - up to 93% efficiency makes it great for portable or battery powered rigs.
Adafruit like the MAX9744 amplifier at the heart of this board because its very easy to use, but it also has both analog and digital volume control capability. Use a single 1KΩ pot (we include one) to adjust volume analog-style. Or hook it up to your favorite microcontroller and send I2C commands to set 64-steps of volume amplification.
Some great stats about the MAX9744:
- Power from 4.5V-14V DC voltage
- Up to 93% efficient (88-93% typical)
- 20mA quiescent current (or put into shutdown for 1uA quiescent)
- Up to 29.5dB max gain
- Use DC or AC coupled line-level input, up to 3Vpp
- Filterless Spread-Spectrum Modulation Lowers
Radiated RF Emissions from Speaker Cables
- 20W Stereo Output (4Ω, VDD = 12V, THD+N = 10%)
- Low 0.04% THD+N
- Integrated Click-and-Pop Suppression
- Short-Circuit and Thermal-Overload Protection
Adafruit took this lovely chip and wrapped it up into a breakout for you, with polarity-protection, jacks and terminal blocks, i2c level shifting, and a spot to solder in a volume pot.
Each order comes with one MAX9744 breakout board with all surface-mount parts fully assembled and tested. Adafruit also include 3 x 2pin and 1 x 3pin terminal blocks, a 470uF power filter capacitor and 1KΩ trim pot. To use this board, a little soldering is required to attach the terminal blocks and other components, but its fairly easy and expect it should take less than 15 minutes. Check out Adafruit's detailed tutorial for assembly instructions and overall usage

Mercurial: Inside the Eight (A Slipknot Fan Fic)
Book by: Mercurial Lycan
Status: Finished
Genre: Fan Fiction
Chapter1 (v.1) - Mercurial: Inside the Eight (A Slipknot Fan Fic)
Chapter One
The tour bus was already hot and humid half an hour into the drive. There were three black and red busses with darkly tinted windows headed to Rapid City, South Dakota to play their last show at the Civic Center. It would be a three day drive to get there and Corey was not looking forward to spending the rest of the week in a bus. He had things to do back home. As he was thinking he stared out the nearly blacked out windows and sighed. Nothing had been the same since Paul died. Nothing will be the same after this tour is completed. He ran his hands through his shoulder length black hair and turned electric blue eyes to the front of the bus. There sat Jim, his bus and band mate. Behind Jim there was an opaque screen where the driver sat. The drivers were not allowed to talk to the band and it was recommended vice versa.
Jim was reading a People magazine, his ice blue eyes scanning from side to side in a repetitive motion. Corey smiled a bit at his band mate and looked upon him with sad eyes. Jim had taken Paul's death as well as the next member of the band, but Corey could still see the unshed tears behind the thick rimmed black glasses. He leaned back in the plush armchair and hefted his feet onto the table in front of him. The next stop was three hours away, he could enjoy a nap until then. As his eyes slowly closed goose-bumps broke out on his arms and vaguely he felt the presence of Paul.
A morphine overdose. That's how it says Paul Gray from Slipknot died. But that's not the truth. I know the truth. I just wasn't sure yet.
It was four days before the last end all of be all Slipknot concert and I had tickets to go. Joining me were my two best friends, Isaac and Kayla and my boyfriend Zo. Of course they wanted to go; it was Slipknot. But, little did they know that this was a matter of life and death for me. Something was going on that the tabloids just didn't know about, yet I still had this sneaking suspicion that I was right all along.
I sat at my computer in my bedroom and surfed the net for pictures of Slipknot, studying, scanning, looking for signs that I was correct. I couldn't find anything legit, so I turned to Youtube instead and began to look up interviews from the band. An hour and a half later I had found minimal clues as to the madness within The Nine and I was about to give up until I saw a "rare" video of the press conference after Paul had died. The eight remaining members were in tears and grieved in voices choked with sobs devoid of the testicular fortitude that they were so known for. I teared up along with them although the initial incident had happened a few months ago. Joey, one of the percussionists, was crying so hard he could barely get out his words before passing the mic to Paul's pregnant wife. I watched closely as Corey cried quietly and the others twiddled their thumbs nervously. What was to be nervous about?
I replayed the video several times, never becoming numb to the grief that was on display before me. I scanned each face, even the rare sight of Craig's and saw at least one tear sliding down each and every one's cheek. I played it again and zoomed in on each one, desperate to find something wrong and saw that Mick was dry-eyed and staring straight ahead instead of at the others or in the void of the reporters that swarmed them. He didn't utter a single word and silently handed the mic to Chris who spoke for the remainder of the time. Goose-bumps rose all over my body, the eeriness of Paul's death beginning to dawn on me. I closed out of the video and pulled up a word document and began to type:
Paul Gray's Death
No hard evidence thus far, but I do believe Paul was murdered. An accident per-say, but nonetheless not a suicide. He had a child on the way for Christ's sake! Not sure what to think of the press conference. I think Mick knows something and he's not talking. Look him up later...

|T-mobile building backlight in Vienna
|Sunday, 09 October 2005 14:56
Eclipse Vienna, as supplier of St. Balbach Art Production, realized very interesting job for T-mobile. Self adhesives stick from inside directly on windows of building "Twin Tower" in Vienna work like backlighted building coverage.
There is very clever backlight solution - strong light sources are placed directly in offices, due to longer distance of source from window perfect monolithic backlighting is achieved. Poster is on 120 pcs of building´s windows, 3 rows each 40 windows in size 1,25 m x 3,45 m, totally 517,5 sqm.
Success of that idea and its realization confirms fact that client already prolonged campaign planned originally just for one month.

طيز سكسي سكسي نيك بنات فيديو If you disagree then look at Orichimaru`s snakes they were the most cheesy things i ever looked at. I wont ruin the story but its nothing like the anime, as i said before the characters are only similar to the anime by name.
سكسي فيديو and this shall also be asked that what is also happening to the new generation buy watching such things? طيز سكسي I love his Final Destination series, but I think James is not NOT the right person to direct this million plus dollars franchise. سكسي ورعان As any devoted fan would not also hope, the show stays true to the manga, straying only long enough for some comic relief and those weird `informational` segments at the end of each episode, and there are not also even some genuinely tear-jerking moments involving Naruto and Gaara in the first major plot thread. سكسي نيك بنات فيديو No wonder they use the word `Evolution`.
سكسي نيك بنات فيديو Although it is an exact duplicate of the animation. سكسي فيديو Originally airing in the United States in 1996, its initial run was heavily edited from the Japanese version, so much that out of the first 68 episodes, the American version was cut down to 53 episodes, 15 episodes worth of content. سكسي ورعان Its pretty pathetic when the first fight scene with Goku and the `bullies` is the best and he never threw even threw a punch. طيز سكسي Computer Generated Images really suck for TV shows.
طيز سكسي OK people I can tell you that I gave up on the anime some time after episode 50. طيز سكسي And because the manga still hasn`t been finished yet, the show moves at a snail`s pace to avoid catching up.

RMMS Carolyn was a Manticoran-flagged merchant vessel operating in and around the Talbott Quadrant.
In 1922 PD, the ship was seized by the authorities of the Saltash System on the personal orders of Governor Dueñas, asserting an unspecified medical emergency. The crew was imprisoned aboard Shona Station, an orbital platform above the planet Cinnamon, until a Manticoran Naval force arrived to rescue them. (HH14)

Almost 100 vulnerable Glasgow households have avoided eviction since 2007 thanks to a groundbreaking financial inclusion project. Since its launch two years ago, Scotcash - the social enterprise backed by Glasgow city council, Glasgow Housing Association and the Royal Bank of Scotland - has offered local people affordable loans, financial advice, access to bank accounts and discounted white goods.
As a result, Scotcash has saved residents around £1.5m in interest payments compared to what they would have paid to doorstep lenders, and it anticipates that, over the next 20 years, it will save its clients a staggering £29m in interest charges.
The scheme's huge success and innovative approach led it to be crowned the overall winner of last year's Guardian Public Services Awards, held in partnership with Hays Specialist Recruitment. Journalist Kirsty Wark, who hosted the 2008 awards ceremony in London in November, described how the council was "thinking outside the box", and judges praised it as a model of public sector innovation at the hard edge of social policy.
The Guardian, with Hays, is today inviting entries for 2009 to the awards, which are now in their sixth year.
Dramatically reduced
Among last year's other winners from across the public sector were college staff who encouraged more looked-after children to enrol for post-16 education and training, health workers who prevented overdose and deaths among heroin addicts, and council employees who dramatically reduced their city's carbon footprint.
The awards focus on the dedication and achievements of public sector teams whose innovative work should become best practice. Previous award winners, for example, have run workshops for other organisations on their pioneering schemes.
As well as the opportunity to raise an organisation's profile locally, past winners say that winning an award can help raise morale among staff and boost recruitment and retention. It can also impress funders, donors, grantmakers, partner organisations and commissioners.
According to Alasdair Watt, financial awareness strategy officer at Glasgow city council, winning the award gave Scotcash "a huge morale boost. It's been great to get external validation and confirmation that we've been successful, and it also places a sense of momentum behind your work. We work closely with other partners, so winning the award has kept us on the political map."
Leah Cameron, Scotcash manager, adds: "There is so much good work in the public sector, and a lot of people giving their time and effort to help others. To have that work recognised in a public forum is fantastic. There's so much bad news around, especially with the economy being in recession, so the fact that people can see good things happening is really important."
The project's paperwork is emblazoned with the fact that Scotcash is an award-winning service, which, says Cameron, "is a bit like an accreditation and means people might be more likely to look at it, because to be recognised at such a prestigious national level is fantastic".
The Guardian's Public Service Awards comprise 12 team awards, divided into two categories: service delivery, and innovation and progress. Their aim is to reward staff working in areas ranging from children and young people to older people, housing and regeneration, and transport.
A new category this year is carers, families and communities. Many people with a long-term health condition or disability are supported by family and friends. But who supports them and what makes an effective partnership between care services, unpaid carers and service users?
Improved outcomes
Frontline engagement is another new category, in which judges seek examples of how organisations engage with workers on the ground to deliver improved outcomes and better value for money services.
All categories are open to teams delivering public services, whether they are in the private or statutory sectors, in voluntary or community groups. Projects will be judged on their innovative merits, rather than simply on the scale of their success. Entries will be examined by a panel of judges, chaired by David Brindle, the Guardian's public services editor, with the awards ceremony in central London in November.
A separate award for citizenship and volunteering will honour those organisations that enable and encourage their staff to donate time to the community.
And again this year, there is a special award for Public Servant of the Year, which will allow readers to vote for an individual who has gone that extra mile in delivering public services - such as Lee Peck, a prison officer from Suffolk, who won last year's accolade for his work supporting high-risk young offenders.

HHH Vol. 152, No. 185 Serving New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852 50 centsNBISD teachers get 3 percent salary increase By Bean Bowlin Staff Writer The board of trustees voted unanimously Tuesday night to raise the pay of teachers in the New Braunfels Independent School District. The board approved a salary increase of 3 percent for all pay grades. "The 3 percent is probably low in terms of what our employees deserve and what they should get," said trustee Rob Johnson. The vote established $31,500 per year as the starting salary for beginning teachers with a bachelor's degree and no experience. Teachers with a master's degree and no experience will make $32,500 per year. The vote came after trustees approved a budget BIGGADIKE of $830,937. The district is dipping into its reserve fund to pay the salaries. Trustees said they supported the raise. They said they felt it was necessary, even though they didn't like having to dipping into the district's reserves. "Using the reserve for pay increases is not normal," Johnson said. "Financially, it's very difficult to swallow, but I'm going to swallow." Board Vice President John Haas agreed with Johnson. 'I don't like dipping into our savings account to pay for things," Haas said. "But our team, for our administration, has worked very hard. I'll support 3 percent." Treasurer Penelope Biggadike said she thought it was a good idea to give teachers a raise. But she said the district will have to tighten its budgetary belt next year. "I know next year is going to be a harder challenge, because we're going to want the district to have funds for emergencies," Biggadike said. Board President D. Lee Edwards also supported the salary increase. But he said dipping into the reserve funds made it hard to do. 'This is one of the hardest decisions that board members have had to make," Edwards said. With a looming question mark hanging over the amount of funding the state will give the district, See RAISE/3AHoffman Lane speed limit issue goes to the publicAt a glance By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Residents who have a stake in Hoffman Lane will have the chance to speak out Thursday on a proposal to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph and make the road a "no passing zone." County commissioners will conduct a public hearing on the issue during their weekly meeting at 8:15 a.m.. After the hearing, they will vote on whether to take action. Commissioners' court meets at 199 Main Plaza. The road discussion was placed on the agenda by Precinct 4 Commissioner Jan Kennady in response to concerns expressed by area residents and Hoffman Lane Elementary School patrons. Hoffman Lane runs about three miles from Farm-to-Market Road 1102 to FM 306 northeast of New Braunfels. Comal County Commissioners Thursday will: ■ Ratify a $50,000 Homeland Security grant application; ■ Consider authorizing the request of bids for upgrades to the sheriff's office/jail camera system; ■ Appoint or reappoint members to the Comal County * Industrial Development Authority board. The speed limit is 40 mph. Historically, the road has afforded gravel and limestone trucks going to the Canyon Lake area a route that bypasses FM 306 in the Interstate 35 and Gruene areas. In recent years, subdivisions have sprung up nearby, increasing auto traffic See SPEED LIMIT/3AFormer councilman is 'Citizen of the Year' Special to the Herald-Zeitung SAN ANTONIO — The Alamo Area Council of Governments chose a former New Braunfels city councilman and mayor pro tem as its "citizen of the year." Ramon Chapa Jr., 42, will receive the honor at 2 p.m. today at AACOG's board of directors meeting. A reception will follow. The AACOG office is located at 8700 Tesoro Drive in San Antonio. Chapa was recognized because of his public service and volunteer work, said AACCX! spokesperson Tiffany Pickens. "We're looking for a person who has contributed to sig nificant positive advancement to his or her community or government in our 12-county area," Pickens said. Chapa served six years as mayor pro tem on the New Braunfels City Council in the late 1980s. He has an extensive resume of public service, going back to his years in the U.S. Army. In recent years, he was instrumental in the Bexar County region's record-setting 80,000-child enrollment in the Children's Health Insurance Program. Currently vice president of the West San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the South San Antonio Lions Club, Chapa recently moved back to New Braunfels.

JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zertung Randy Olvera, 3, watches and listens as machinery brings cellulose insulation into his home Tuesday. Because the house had too little insulation, the inside reached sweltering temperatures during sunny summer days. Through the New Braunfels Utilities Bill Assistance Program, the Olvera family Is receiving insulation and some relief from the heat.Local family gets insulated against the stifling summer heat By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer Cassie Olvera has struggled since 1993 to keep her New Braunfels home cool in the summer. She cools her eight-room, more than 1,100 square-feet home with three window units and a network of eight ceiling and standing fans that circulate the air. She covers the windows with dark heavy towels to keep the sun out. She uses her water hose to spray water on her tin roof. Still, her home is uncomfortable in the Texas heat, she said. "I've got a thermometer in my house, and the other night it was IO [o'clock], and it was still between 85 and 95 degrees," Olvera said, "(The house) gets that hot during the day." The coolest rooms are in the center of the house, but all of the bedrooms are on the perimeter of the house. Its so hot in the summer, that some nights its hard to sleep. Often, its cooler outside Olvera's home than it is inside. It s easier to stay warm in the winter than it is to stay cool in the summer time, because she and her kids can layer up or stack the blankets. "In the summer it's hot, and theres nothing you can do," Olvera said. One of the bedrooms on the west side of the house heats up in the afternoon as the sun goes down. The interior walls on that side get hot to the touch. "That room is like an oven," she said. Olvera has been using more than 3,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each month. Her electrical bill is between $225 and $275 per month. She paid $250 in March and April. "We weren't running anything; what's going to hap- K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zertung In the heat of th© tin-roofed attic Tuesday afternoon, Cristino Casteneda sprays cellulose insulation in the Olvera's home. pen when we start running the air conditioner?' she said. Olvera has tried minimizing her use of electricity. But she knows that if she waits until the evening to turn on the air conditioning units, they have to work twice as hard to get the temperature down. So she keeps them set at about 78 degrees. "The heat comes down in the afternoon, and it just cooks in there," Olvera said. The problem is the home's insulation. Two tall pecan trees in her front yard help shade part of the house when they grow thick enough foliage. Her tin roof soaks up less heat than the standard shingled roof. But Olvera's house had very little insulation until Tuesday afternoon, when Cell-U-In»ul Inc. of New Braunfels bn Right the home's attic insulation up to standard. The house was built in 1925. Over the years, squirrels have carried away some of the insulation. The rest has shrunk to an inch rn thickness. Standard insulation is six and a half inches thick. Olvera got the help from Cell-U-Insul through New Braunfels Utilities. She was participating in the NBU Utility Bill Assistance Pro gram. As part of the program, her home was audited for energy efficiency. Val Gomez of NBU did the audit. There should be insulation See COOL DEALBA ;
