Ecological landscape planning: a gaming approach in education
Lawson, Gill M. (2003) Ecological landscape planning: a gaming approach in education. Landscape Research, 28(2), pp. 217-223.
|Accepted Version (PDF 47kB)
An understanding of the complex problems of land use competition requires an appreciation of natural processes, cultural values, economic imperatives and political agendas. This integrated understanding is an important component of the study program for tertiary students about to complete their professional qualification in landscape architecture at the Queensland University of Technology. This paper introduces a repertoire of game templates as an initial step in formulating a conceptual framework for the curriculum/games designer to explore the potential of play in ecological landscape planning. The concepts of social action space, permissible action space and motivational action space are used to investigate the qualities of each template for further game design development. The abstraction of these concepts may assist the designer to move beyond the usability of games into viewing their value as a learning method.

I show nothing deleted either and a bunch or posts answering the same stuff more than once what do you think your missing i have my settings high and see its 3 pages all ready so im think its truely high than that perhaps you missed some on all the pages?
well there are 96 responses 97 with my post thats why im asking i got mine set at over 40 per page to make it easier to read
No, you're going to treat him as a threat. Your tone and language and the automatic distrust merely for possessing a gun is similar to the police in many urban areas. There have been Open Carry stops (recently in TN) that resulted in similar treatment. One Open Carrier in MN was warned that cops will respond to any man with gun calls in full felony stop mode.
So, since you're going to automatically treat him as a threat, you'll fully understand if the cops automatically treat you as a threat and act accordingly.
I mean, they're using the same criteria you are: the mere presence of a gun before determining legality.
THAT is the comparison I was making.
For MN specific carry information and a great shooting community, check out forum.twincitiescarry.com
The more that I review this thread, the more I begin to see your point.
I have never had this situation occur. I do 90% of the service work on my home and have never noticed any guns on the few tradesmen that I have hired. So, I have been speaking from the "This is what I think I would do" standpoint. After this debate I can only say that I would play it by ear. If I notice a gun, the workman's actions and attitude up to that point would probably dictate my reaction.
As you have stated, I should have done at least a little research before asking someone in to work. He is either backed by a reputable firm or a licensed contractor himself. Or for that matter, herself.
Thank You for not letting this lie.
I may not have even considered my response to be a little hypocritical, as I see it was in retrospect, if you hadn't forced me to reconsider.
The best things in life are not free.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry
Here is one thing might have been said but might not i didnt read whole thread but as a repair man who enters peoples houses everyday .. some say well you dont know him blah blah blah
Also remember i don't know you .. Never heard fo a repair man being called to a address and being mugged or killed? I have has happened here more than once..
While it might upset some to think that a unknown repair man is entering your home armed .. I look at it as no different than when i carry else where its there to protect me ..
Are you a bad person who called to have me service something ? unless i have been there a bunch how will i know? Got to look out for #1.
I have waled out of a drug raid .. Had the neighbors shooting it out as i was leaving a Call
Have had to have the cops come and get me when a home owner refused to let me leave .. Dangerous to you .. Ha
im the one on unknown ground in a unknown house.. Step into my shoes for a day or 2 and you will have a different point of view .. and if your only worried about the repairman having a gun your not thinking outside the box
i got other stuff just as dangerous in my hands in that plain jane beat up looking tool bag..
Food for thought..
Its a reality that some people aren't going to feel comfortable with a man in their home with a gun no matter what ( or any gun as far as that goes ). I live in a small town and if I refused to do the work because I was made, it would ruin my business, and fast.
The answer is to carry a small gun while at work, conceal it well, the customer is none the wiser and I go home with paycheck. ( And they call me back next time ).
Bud, I'm right there with you.
The incident that finally woke me up to getting my carry permit was when a couple of contractors were working in a empty house in East Nashville and a few gangbangers came in and robbed them at gunpoint of their tools, wallets, watches, truck, everything. One of them got hurt. I was working on my own in an empty house in East Nashville too at the time, it could've been me.
I did my permit class ASAP, and I carry everywhere I go.
I wouldn't shoot my way out of a situation where they were just stealing my tools, but the way the gangs are going here I would want to be able to protect myself from anyone who wanted to do a lone target harm.

Rasch Finishes Competition at NCAAs
March 18, 2012
AUBURN, Ala. – TCU junior Sabine Rasch brought the 2012 season to a close Saturday at the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship inside the James Martin Aquatics Center.
Rasch finished in a tie for 23rd place overall with a 48.92 in the 100-free preliminary competition. She narrowly missed out All-America honors, which were rewarded to swimmers who placed in the top 16.
"Sabine had a great year," TCU coach Richard Sybesma said. "The experience of competing at the NCAA Championship will give her valuable experience."
Rasch closed one of the finest seasons in TCU swimming history. The Luckenwalde, Germany, native set TCU records in the 50-free, 100-free and 200-free and became the first woman since 1996 to represent the Horned Frogs at the NCAA meet.

How soon will I be up and out of the house after a mommy makeover
- Jae9
- Landisville, PA
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I'm scheduling my surgery for April...either the 3 or the 24th. Obviously I'd like it sooner rather then waiting til the end of the month. My son is in a play on April 14th and my daughter is hosting a function on April 20th. Will I be up and ready to attend both things if I have my surgery on the 3rd? Both functions my husband will be attending with me and I plan on walking very little and sitting a lot. Also, each putting will only be approx 2.5 hours and within 10 minutes of my house. Will this be do-able on post-op days 11 and 17?

See You At ComicCon!
If you're going to be attending ComicCon, I hope to see you at one or two of both of my panels.
First up, I'm going to be moderating the panel "What's Hot in Young Adult Fiction," featuring the wildly awesome authors Andrea Cremer, Amanda Hocking, Tahereh Mafi, Stephanie Perkins, Laini Taylor, and Kiersten White at 10am on Sunday.
And I'm going to be on the panel "Writing for the Middle Grade" at 1:45 on Sunday.
There will be autograph sessions after each panel and books for sale and all the rest. And no, I will not be in costume, unless you consider "mild-mannered author" attire a costume.
Hope to see you there!

Btw, have you not considered the WonderCon? It's in San Francisco, afer all.

Look up there! Is it a bird? Is it a plane! No! It's MILD-MANNERED AUTHOR!
But what costume do you rip off to reveal the mild-mannered author costume?
'...at one or two or both of my panels.'? Not unless one or two or both of us have the gift of bilocation. Or maybe time travel. Like Hermione Granger. But it IS a COMIC-Con! So anything's possible.
How about posting a pic when it's all over?

I suspect you own throwing stars? How about a hand-held crossbow?
Due respect, but most of those items are macho pacifiers, found on mall ninjas and wanna-be's. I doubt you could explain carrying any of them to a police officer, and if you're carrying ALL of them and don't have a concealed carry permit, I'm betting you'll be headed to the clink for at least a few hours in the drunk tank. Further, I know that to many members of this forum, the sight of your assortment of pummeling devices brings you to the top of the SA list. Why make yourself a target?
I have to ask what your interest level is in this site if you own all of these items and refuse to own a gun? This may read as an abrasive post, so allow me to apologize in advance. I've written this response three times, and there isn't any way to ask these things without sounding like I'm picking on you. I'm not.
Incidentally...what are you using a 'blunt cutter' for when 'you're out partying'??

Former PK Yonge Standout Taylor Asbell Dies
Published August 22nd, 2012
Loading Video...
Gainesville- Former PK Yonge softball standout shortstop Taylor Asbell, 19, died of unknown causes Tuesday morning, according to Blue Wave softball Head Coach Paul Silverman.
Asbell, who earned Jeffrey Meldon TV20 Scholar Athlete of the Week Honors in 2011, graduated in 2011 and was pursuing course work at Santa Fe College this fall.
Silverman said Asbell was one of the best players in Blue Wave history, finishing her career as the all-time leader in home runs and RBI, and added she was an even better person.
Silverman also said there will be a tribute to Asbell during the next Blue Wave season, and the team is discussing an appropriate and meaningful way to honor her legacy.

I'm going to keep you in the maybe column until the car is back together but I'll include you in the head count when I call them for the heads up.
Good luck with the car.

So, I am not a Glock person. Usually I carry a 1911, and if not a S&W 638. I don't tend to shoot glocks as well as I do my 1911s. However, the G36 has always held some appeal for me, and I saw the thread a little while back about cheap prices for active duty military on Glocks, so I've been heavily considering getting one while I'm on leave. Anyone have any input about these little pistols? Anyone wanna talk me out of it?

I personally do not own a Glock 36, but have fondled it in the past. I have heard a lot of good things and a few bad things about it, but it would definitely make a good concealed carry gun. I believe it is also Glock's one and only single stack pistol.
No I can't talk you out of it because it is a GLOCK!
USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
The one bad issue that I heard was that there was too much space in the magazine well for the magazine to fit snug, and that caused malfunctions. Those were earlier ones and I have not seen or heard anything bad about the latest models out on dealer shelves now. So I say go ahead get one, I don't think you will ever regret it.
God bless our troops!
I say get one. I was a 1911 guy until I had to switch to Glock. I hated it at first, but I gave it some time and an honest try. I do just fine with them now.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
The only bad thing I have to say about them is there is no version in 10mm.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
I'm headin to my favorite gunstore (which is a LE dealer) tomorrow, with a chunk of deployment money, and have a few things in mind I'm trying to get, I'm definitely gonna fondle one tomorrow, and see what I think with one in my hand.
It just seems like such a compact package in my beloved .45acp, so I'll see what kind of deal they can make me.

Veyr nice gun. I am just used to the double stack Glocks. You won't be disappointed... I am sure.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.

I don't get out of bed without my G36. Easy to conceal, recoil not bad, I have Pearse +1 mag extentions gives you 7+1 and is dead on.
In God we trust all others pay cash
Can't try to talk you out of it. Just got one myself last week. If the XS sights made it today, I will take pics after I install 'em.
I have the Glock-36...it's my 'Harley' gun...I really like this sidearm...accurate, an easy shooter, very easy to conceal, the best grip of all the Glocks IMHO...never a problem.
Get it, and you won't be sorry.

The G36 is my CCW. In fact, the opportunity came up a while back to trade a "safe queen" for another G36, and I made the trade. So, I now own 2 of them. Buy it you'll like it!
Too light for heavy work, too heavy for light work!
To me, the benefit of the Glock is the capacity. If you're a 1911 guy, why change to a gun harder to conceal that carries the same amount of ammo?
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.

Earlier this week, you may have read GeekDad Dave Giancaspro's 5 reasons why you should make your kid's Halloween costume. There's a lot of truth behind that link, but one reason that struck home was the following: "You'll be able to find other geeks in the neighborhood." We should always be on the lookout for fellow geeks, but could be using a more common piece of social currency than the once-per-year costume: the geeky t-shirt.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Us geeks, we don't do anything half-heatedly, and Halloween is no exception. There's nothing quite like geeky passion to turn a one-day holiday into a month-long affair, so have no doubt that as you venture out into public this weekend, you might spot some of the latest and greatest geeky Halloween t-shirts. Here's a quick roundup of this month's best. Use it as a checklist, or play t-shirt bingo!
Soylent Puft: To quote a favorite Far Side strip of mine, "You're sick Jessy! … Sick, sick sick!" There's nothing more horrifying than marshmallow-on-marshmallow cannibalism, especially when Mr. Stay Puft just looked so darn happy.
I'm Lovin' It: This TeeFury offering from way back on September 22nd is still one of the best Halloween tees of the year. Nothing frightened my generation at a young age more than Stephen King's It, but there are some people afraid of just regular old Ronald McDonald. Do not let them see this shirt.
Click or Treat: Yes, it's corny. Yes, I still laughed. While they are more cutesy than horrifying, what finally sold me on these four Halloween mice was when I realized that the computer mouse had a tattered USB cord for a tail.
Ask Me About My Zombie Disguise: Spotting a fellow geek can be quite hard when they are camouflaged as the cool "words on a shirt" guy. Don't let that fool you, though. They may have a killer zombie costume surprise hidden underneath!
Madmen: You won't like them when they're angry. To make matters worse, the guys from Madison Avenue seem to be permanently intoxicated, so this could be quite the dangerous mash-up.
Zombert & Zombernie: Bert and Ernie don't ever seem to age, but one thing is for sure: they'll eventually decay. Get a sneak peek into the future with this gruesome vision from 604Republic:

Ivo Karlovic, beaten in the second round by Andy Murray here yesterday, left the All England Club in a state of fury last night after claiming that he had been cheated out of possible victory by line judges who foot-faulted him regularly in the match. Karlovic, who calculated that he had been foot-faulted 11 times, called his treatment "outrageous", said the officials were biased and claimed that the credibility of the tournament had been damaged.
The 33-year-old Croatian, who was beaten 7-5, 6-7, 6-2, 7-6, has a reputation as one of the game's biggest servers, but his rhythm was interrupted by the foot faults. "I feel cheated," he said. "It was outrageous, outrageous. It's Wimbledon, Centre Court, and they do this.
"In my whole life, ever since I was eight years old, I didn't do this many foot faults. They were never called when it was like 30-0 or 40-0. It was always when it was 30-30 or in a tie-break. I mean, what is this? Is it Davis Cup or is it Wimbledon? After this match, the whole credibility of this tournament went down for me."
A fault is called if a player's foot touches the baseline – or the court inside the baseline – before he strikes the ball. Karlovic, who said he had never been foot-faulted more than once or twice in all his previous matches, said he had tried moving further behind the baseline when he served, but to no avail. "I don't know what I'm going to do," he said. "Right now I'm angry about it because I don't expect it here. Even though it is against an English [British] guy who they always want to win, I don't expect it here."
Murray said that he had no idea whether the calls had been correct. "If it turns out that he wasn't footfaulting, if I was him I'd be very, very disappointed," Murray said.
The Scot now meets Marcos Baghdatis, who works with Murray's former coach, Miles Maclagan. Murray was pleased with his own performance. He returned serve well, served consistently and hit the ball with assurance. However, his greatest asset was his mental strength. Against an opponent like Karlovic the need to remain focused and take the limited opportunities presented to him was crucial.
"I've had success against guys of that height and game style," Murray said. "I think I played him three times before and won each one. I've had a decent record against [John] Isner. I normally haven't minded it too much. It's just important to be patient against them. The more times you play against them you know more or less what to expect so you can be a little bit better prepared each time, mentally."
Until last month, Karlovic held the world record for the game's fastest serve at 156mph. His thunderbolts can trouble the very best, particularly on a slick grass court. With the ball struck from a great height – at 6ft 10in the Croatian is the tallest top-100 player in history – his serves bounce higher than most players'. His first serve of the match, a 130mph winner, drew a gasp from the crowd, while later in the game an audacious 128mph second serve – faster than many players' first serves – saved a break point.
Another bombshell hit the top of the fence at the back of the court and flew into the Royal Box, scattering the guests, while a group of eight Chelsea Pensioners might have wondered about the seating arrangements when they found themselves in the servers' line of fire in the second and third rows.
The first requirement when facing any big server is to hold your own serve and Murray got off to the worst possible start, losing five points in a row from 40-0 up as Karlovic broke in the opening game. However, the world No 4 responded in kind, though luck was on his side when his forehand clipped the top of the net and flew over Karlovic's racket on the second break point.
It was not the start that anyone had expected, but the match quickly fell into a more predictable pattern. Karlovic, having trouble returning Murray's kick serves, did not force another break point in the first set, while the Scot had to bide his time. Karlovic saved two set points with big serves at 4-5, but two games later Murray forced a third by running round a body serve to hit a fine backhand return winner, upon which the Croatian double-faulted.
There were no break points in the second set, at the end of which Murray played a poor tie-break. From 5-4 up he missed opportunities to break on the next two points, after which Karlovic took the set with a crisp volley winner. Murray had been calmness personified until that point but berated himself when he sat down at the subsequent changeover.
Nevertheless, the Scot's response was superb. On break point in the opening game of the third set, he hit a damaging return to feet and followed up with a beautiful winning lob into the corner – no mean feat against a man of Karlovic's size. Six games later, he broke again in similarly thrilling fashion, forcing Karlovic into a volley error with a cracking forehand down the line.
Although Karlovic was becoming increasingly frustrated by the foot faults, the Croatian hung on grimly in the fourth set, which went to another tie-break.
At 4-4, Karlovic was again foot-faulted on his first serve and went on to serve a double fault, upon which Murray went on to serve out for the match. The Scot again pointed his fingers to the sky in celebration, as he had after his first-round victory over Nikolay Davydenko, while Karlovic left the court an angry and frustrated man.

Over $300 a year! And it was less than 10 minutes to set up!
Setup was quick…
Setup was quick and easy. PAP2 Adapter shipped quite fast. Sales rep could have been more helpful with the kind of services offered and not have to look up what is asked. Sound Quality is great since my internet is fast. I've been with this service for about 5 months and when I first signed up I decided to first start with the month-to-month plan and it was great and I'm satisfied with all its offerings. Features are pretty basic, caller ID, voicemail, call waiting etc. The price is great and cheap compared to AT&T's landline phones.
Way cheaper than Verizon and offers free long distance
I had Verizon for my home phone for years, and switched to ViaTalk almost 9 months ago. ViaTalk is way cheaper than Verizon and offers free long distance within the US, unlike Verizon. I recommend this ViaTalk to those on a tight budget, otherwise explore alternatives. My total bill is less than $15.75 per month. Needed some assistance setting up.
ViaTalk, a division of HostRocket.com, provides both residential and enterprise Voice Over IP. ViaTalk is located in Clifton Park, New York, in an an area of the country known as New York's Tech Valley." President/CEO Brendan Brader and VP/CTO John Reyes have made their company one of the most financially stable VoIP providers by investing in their own staff, hiring the best and brightest they can find in a region known for the quality of its educational and research institutions.
Most Popular Plan: VT Unlimited
ViaTalk's VT Unlimited plan is a residential plan that offers two unlimited phone lines for the price of one, free international calling, and a host of VoIP features and services. In choosing this route, the two line configuration works as two separate extensions on all active ViaTalk devices. This allots for users to receive calls on two separate lines simultaneously, or have multiple conversations at the same time.
Additionally, the free international calling allots users 60 minutes of landline and cell phone calls to a number over 60 countries including China, Mexico, UK, and India. If the provisioned time is not enough, users can upgrade their existing plan to the ViaTalk World plan.
Aside from International calling and dual lines, the VT Unlimited plan offers features such as: Enhanced Voicemail, Voicemail Notification via Email and/or SMS Text, Outgoing Call Routing, Private Caller ID, Custom Incoming Caller, Free 411 Directory Service, Distinctive Ring,
BYOD Service, Internet Forwarding, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Call Record, On-the-Go Operator Services, Call Return (*69)
– Note: Equipment is included in this plan; however, in the BYOD (bring your own device) option, customers option to use their own hardware for additional savings such as free shipping, priority setup, and activation.
In addition to the above features, VT Unlimited offers additional features such as Virtual Phone Number, Fax Service, ViaTalk World, Toll Free Service, Business Class Support, and Parked Number Forwarding. As these options are add-ons, they are each subject to additional pricing. Aside from feature though, ViaTalk offer 24/7 support and cutting edge network to ensure the greatest level of quality. ViaTalk services can also be used from a mobile device through the iPhone app.

Stinson made two starts with Binghamton after he joined the team, and despite two solid outings was moved to the bullpen to pitch in relief. For Stinson, the move, which didn't come as a surprise, was a chance to put any early season struggles behind him.
"It was exciting," he said. "I had been struggling starting, and I had been struggling with my fastball command a little bit, so it was a chance to get back out there and throw every other day or every day and be more consistent with my mechanics. I was kind of excited about it because I've had success in the past."
Adjusting to his new role wasn't much of a challenge, as Stinson's past experience in the bullpen helped quickly establish a routine. Once he got things rolling, focus shifted to gaining backs some of his control.
"It wasn't too hard; I'd done it before so I knew how my body would react," he said. "It was just picking back up that command I had two years ago and a little bit last year. The transition was pretty easy."
Though at first he struggled with similar issues, Stinson has made an obvious turnaround as of late. In his past eight appearances, the righty held his opponents scoreless seven times, and hitless six.
"I'm just trying to get ahead of hitters, it helps a lot, and then you can try and put them away with a slider or curveball in the dirt," he said. "They get a little more defensive when the count's in your favor."
Getting hitters into that defensive mode has been the ultimate goal for Stinson as a reliever, and coming out of the pen has advantages when going after batters.
"When you're a starter you need three pitches, but when you're relieving you really only need two," Stinson said. "If only two pitches are working you can get away with it if you execute since you're only going to face three or four batters. As a starter you're going to face the lineup three or four times, so you better have something else that's going to help you get out of innings."
Pitching as a starter and pitching in relief are two very different roles, and Stinson's had plenty of experience doing both. In the 'pen, taking a game by game approach and thinking about the now help manage the increased frequency of appearances.
"I like it a lot because if you get knocked around one night you can get right back out there the next day," he said. "Relieving is a lot of short term memory, so if something happens the night before you let it go and get it back the next night. With a bad start you have five days to think about it, you try not to think about it but it's still in your head."
"Starting and relieving are two different games," he continued. "Relieving there's more adrenaline. You get the phone call and get going, and things happen much faster."
While moving to and from the pen may have at times been frustrating, Stinson hasn't let it get to him. For the 23-year old, focusing on the organization's needs continue to be his priority.
"I've always said, whatever they see me doing I'll be willing to do," he said. "Personally, I enjoy the bullpen, but if they tell me tomorrow I'm going to be a starter again then I'll go right back out there and do it."

A Summer Music Festival Without Boundaries
On the first day of summer, there was music in the air across New York City. It was the annual Make Music New York festival, which brought free, live performances to spots across the five boroughs.
There were singers on rowboats in Central Park and a group "hum-a-long" in DUMBO. Punk bands played all day on Coast Guard Pier on Staten Island — known for the day as "Punk Island."
Before noon, 175 keyboardists played Pachelbel's Canon on Cornelia Street in the West Village. Together, they broke a world record for largest keyboard ensemble.
Some of the keyboard players were from Bell Academy in Queens. Among them was middle-schooler Carla Carangue, who was shocked by the size of the event.
"I think it's the biggest performance I've ever seen, considering we're breaking the record," Carangue said.
"Block party!" another student shouted.
But just like their instruments, the students had to go back to class after breaking the record.
The musicians were dubbed "The Mighty Cornelia Street Keyboard Ensemble" by that event's conductor, Jed Distler. He composed a piece called "Broken Record" for the event.
While dozens tapped away at the keyboards, Rainbow Connection was rocking out just across 6th Avenue. They were one of five bands that played outside sandwich restaurant Peanut Butter & Co. throughout the day.
Adam Shapiro stood at a table outside handing out peanut butter samples. He says hosting bands for Make Music New York brings people into the shop, "but it really is about the art at the end of the day."
Downtown, Jazz enthusiast Elliott Hurwitt sat in Zuccotti Park during his lunch break. He listened intently to Sharel Cassity's alto saxophone as it filled the crowded park with music.
"This kind of thing, free or not, is the reason to live in New York." Hurwitt said. "The quality of, especially classical and jazz music, particularly in the summers in the parks, is unparalleled."

Well if you watched the end of the Diaz fight - you'll know what I mean.
Will he stick with his decision?
I'd be so so so sorry if BJ Penn really does retire.
Will he have another fight?
For those of you who didn't see it; Diaz and Penn went head to head with Penn having a slick first round and showing variety with some ground domination and better boxing, getting caught only on occasion with Nick mainly on the back foot.
2nd round Diaz piled on the pressure and bounced Penn around like a boxing speedball.
3rd round wasn't much different except Penn sucked it up and threw more shots in retaliation except his ration was something like 1:3 or 1:4 of Diaz.
Diaz decisions Penn and they both have opposing Rocky eye swelling.
Penn gets a little emotional and tells Rogan that he must retire as he can't compete at this level and has family comitments.
At 32, has he started a slow slide downward - or is it psychological?
I thought he looked a little puffy and his cardio was hit & miss.
I don't want him to retire :'(

Why greenhouse gases heat the ocean
Guest commentary by Peter Minnett (RSMAS)
Observations of ocean temperatures have revealed that the ocean heat content has been increasing significantly over recent decades (Willis et al, 2004; Levitus et al, 2005; Lyman et al, 2006). This is something that has been predicted by climate models (and confirmed notably by Hansen et al, 2005), and has therefore been described as a 'smoking gun' for human-caused greenhouse gases.
However, some have insisted that there is a paradox here – how can a forcing driven by longwave absorption and emission impact the ocean below since the infrared radiation does not penetrate more than a few micrometers into the ocean? Resolution of this conundrum is to be found in the recognition that the skin layer temperature gradient not only exists as a result of the ocean-atmosphere temperature difference, but also helps to control the ocean-atmosphere heat flux. (The 'skin layer' is the very thin – up to 1 mm – layer at the top of ocean that is in direct contact with the atmosphere). Reducing the size of the temperature gradient through the skin layer reduces the flux. Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature. Experimental evidence for this mechanism can be seen in at-sea measurements of the ocean skin and bulk temperatures.
During a recent cruise of the New Zealand research vessel Tangaroa, skin sea-surface temperatures were measured to high accuracy by the Marine-Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (M-AERI), and contemporaneous measurements of the bulk temperature were measured at a depth of ~5cm close to the M-AERI foot print by a precision thermistor mounted in a surface-following float. The M-AERI is a Fourier Transform Infrared spectroradiometer that has very accurate, NIST-traceable, calibration. The skin temperature can be measured with absolute uncertainties of much less than 0.1ºK The thermometer in the surface following float is accurate to better than 0.01ºK. Both are calibrated using the same equipment at the University of Miami.
Clearly it is not possible to alter the concentration of greenhouse gases in a controlled experiment at sea to study the response of the skin-layer. Instead we use the natural variations in clouds to modulate the incident infrared radiation at the sea surface. When clouds are present, they emit more infrared energy towards the surface than does the clear sky. The incident infrared radiation was measures by a pyrgeometer mounted on the ship, and the emission from the sea surface was calculated from the Stefan-Boltzmann equation using the skin temperature measurements of the M-AERI. The difference between the two is the net infrared forcing of the skin layer. If we can establish a relationship between the temperature difference across the skin layer and the net infrared forcing, then we will have demonstrated the mechanisms for greenhouse gas heating the upper ocean. That is seen in the flow chart on the right.
The figure below shows just the signal we are seeking. There is a clear dependence of the skin temperature difference on the net infrared forcing. The net forcing is negative as the effective temperature of the clear and cloudy sky is less than the ocean skin temperature, and it approaches values closer to zero when the sky is cloudy. This corresponds to increased greenhouse gas emission reaching the sea surface.

Why is my cat so anti-social?
My cat is very loving toward people who live in my household (my parents, younger sister, me) but she hisses and swats at guests who come over, even ones that she's seen many times and knows very well. She is 5 years old. Any ideas on this behavior?

Was she from a shelter? Formerly abused animals often act this way. She is nice to people she knows are not going to hurt her. Spray calming spray on her before you have guests over; it might help. Also, tell them not to approach her, let her approach them if she is going to. Otherwise, she might determine that it's an attack and act accordingly. Each time she behaves in front of a guest, give her a catnip Greenie treat. Food is a wonderful motivator. ^_^

I recently had a 99 design for this band. It was really nice and I bought it, but we want to try something else.
The band is BCR Boston City Rhythm
Using the capitol letters for BCR as the main part in block letters, but not wooden, more like steel. The desired effect would be the BCR just pulling in ie train, plane with maybe a streak behind it and maybe angled like it stopped suddenly.
Current logo is on my profile
- steel, silvery, light blues maybe a black outline
- Boston City Rhythm under or behind BCR
- Van Halen had a VH logo that may be worth looking at
- This is a high energy, but hip wedding and event band that plays in The better hotels
- no musicial instruments, no rainbows, no musical notes

Unless the video IS by someone notable, I would put much more "salt" in Mr. Vizard's book. Misconception is among the most common areas of ruining heads when trying to "port". A "litttle" IS better unless you're shooting for super-high revs and don't care about low-end.
Also be careful comparing heads using runner volumes. Not all ports are "equal", even when they're the same "size". Extensive use of "inside" and "outside" calipers (dividers) is necessary. Cross-section MUST be maintained up to the "venturi". Use a smaller OD valve as a "gage" for the bowl/throat work.
Although the video is not using Chevy heads, Pete McCarthy has an excellent video porting Pontiac heads. The majority of the fundementals are the same. THAT video might offer some insight giving you an advantage. For those not familiar with Pete and his work, he's one of the guys responsible for the "Angeles-McCarthy" '68 Firebird C/SSA that has been a class and race winner at NHRA events over the last 15 years, sporting a 400 Pontiac and running in the low 9s with a Q-Jet. He knows what he's doing... Pete's getting on" these days, but his books and videos are stilling selling well.

The visitors last failed to pick up maximum points at the ground in December 2001, but new Black Cats boss Gus Poyet has won all three of his home games since taking charge
Chelsea have won their last eight top-flight games at Sunderland, and there will be no room for sentiment when they come up against former Stamford Bridge favourite Gus Poyet's struggling side this time around.
The London club moved up to second place in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Southampton on Sunday, and manager Mourinho believes they are showing signs that a title challenge is possible.
|Sunderland are 18/1 with Paddy Power to beat Chelsea 2-1 on Wednesday
Cahill's goal was his first in 2013, while captain Terry marked his 400th Premier League appearance for the club with his second goal of the season.
Mourinho's charges face three of the bottom five in their next three games, but the former Real Madrid coach will not be taking them lightly.
He said: "We now have two matches away [Sunderland and Stoke City] and then Crystal Palace at home, we are playing three teams who need points because of the position they are in, so we will have three very difficult matches."
Brazil midfielder Oscar limped off late in the first half against Southampton after going over on his ankle, so his fitness will be monitored ahead of the trip to Wearside.
David Luiz (knee) may not be ready to return, while Samuel Eto'o (muscle strain) is set to miss out once again and Marco van Ginkel (knee) is a long-term absentee.
Sunderland claimed only their second away point of the season when they held Aston Villa to a goalless draw on Saturday.
Poyet, a cult figure at Chelsea during his playing days, has brought an air of optimism since he was appointed as Paolo Di Canio's successor in October.
Sunderland have won all three home games since Poyet arrived, and the Uruguayan will be determined to continue that run against his former club.
Skipper John O'Shea (groin) and goalkeeper Keiren Westwood (shoulder) are injury doubts, while defender Carlos Cuellar (hip) is definitely out.

Three New Releases to Celebrate Shakespeare's 450th Birthday
William Shakespeare's 450th birthday, which falls on Wednesday, provides an opportunity to spotlight some lesser-known repertoire that has been inspired by the Bard of Avon. Accordingly, our featured albums include a new collection of Elizabethan lute songs by John Dowland, symphonic accounts by early American composer John Knowles Paine, and the courtly music of a Dowland successor, John Locke.
Matthew Locke
The Broken Consort, Part I
Tripla Concordia
Available at Arkivmusic.com
"Broken," in 17th-century musical jargon, designates a chamber group using mixed instruments (e.g., lutes and viols) as opposed to a "whole" ensemble (e.g., all viols). Locke organized and composed for such a consort at the court of King Charles II, continuing a tradition of Renaissance chamber music when baroque style had become the rage in the rest of Europe. He also wrote incidental music for revivals of Shakespeare's plays. It is gentle music, intimate, intricate and intended to be enjoyed by the players and small groups of friends. This recording is the debut release of Wayward Sisters, whose name, according to their biography, "refers not only to Henry Purcell's vivid conjuring of Shakespeare's witches, but to the group members' far-flung lives and continuing commitment to making music together."
John Knowles Paine
Ulster Orchestra
JoAnn Falletta
Available at Arkivmusic.com
JoAnn Faletta and the Ulster Orchestra of Northern Ireland capture the rugged spirit of 19th-century Boston composer John Knowles Paine in this collection. The Overture to As You Like It sounds like it could have come from the pen of Franz Schubert, albeit with some Wagnerian harmonic twists for good measure. The six-movement suite The Tempest is a more assertive and dramatic work altogether, with big, brassy gestures and turbulent strings (an interesting contrast to Sibelius's more atmospheric take). The Symphony No. 1 in C minor is well-crafted, if somewhat conservative in style, reminiscent at times of Brahms in his stormy mode. A worthwhile compliment to the more familiar Shakespearean tone poems of Tchaikovsky, Sibelius and others.
My Favorite Dowland
Paul O'Dette, lute
Harmonia Mundi
Available at Arkivmusic.com
John Dowland and Shakespeare were nearly exact contemporaries, born one year apart. During his lifetime, Dowland's reputation was considerable, perhaps even greater than that of the Bard. He was not only a composer but also a talented lute player and was employed as a soloist at many European courts. (He always longed for the attention of Queen Elizabeth I but was not appointed court lutenist in England until after her death.) Despite his being holed up in courts much of his career, he was strongly influenced by the popular dance music of his day, and as this collection by Paul O'Dette shows, it rubbed off on his music for lute. "My Favorite Dowland" features nearly two-dozen songs including galliards, pavanes and The King of Denmark, now familiar as a modern wedding staple. O'Dette plays them with technical polish and a range of colors and articulations.

Saturday, 30 December, 2000, 00:00 GMT
Denise awarded OBE
Denise Lewis has capped off a sensational year by being awarded an OBE in the New Year Honours List
Having taken Olympic heptathlon gold in the Sydney Olympics, Lewis was always odds on for a mention in dispatches - but the manner of her triumph in Sydney made it a certainty.
Lewis battled against injury and exhaustion to take the title Down Under, making a huge impact on sports fans in the process.
Having been competing at the top level for eight years, she's now won Olympic, European and Commonwealth gold, two World Championship silvers and an Olympic bronze.
It's a haul unmatched by any other female British athlete, and one garnered against a background of constant injury.
But she has been overwhelmed by the response since she returned from the Olympics.
The awards have been piling up - Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year, British Athletics' Writers athlete of the year, voted athlete of the year by her fellow British competitors and second in the BBC Sports Personality Awards.
Born in West Bromwich 28 years ago, Denise's great breakthrough came in 1994 when she improved her pre-season best of 5812 points to 5937 and 6069 before a superb 6325 at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada.
There a 5.1m improvement to her javelin personal best was followed by two seconds off her best for 800m and gave her a narrow heptathlon victory over Jane Flemming.
In 1999 she had to pull out of planned heptathlon competitions in Götzis and at the European Cup, but somehow pulled things together in Seville to win a World silver medal.
She was awarded the MBE in the 1999 New Year Honours.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 19 -- Manchukuo's "farewell statement" to the League of Nations is regarded by Chinese here as actually insulting and as accurately foreshadowing Japan's attitude toward the League. The message serves to stir deeply Shanghai's apprehensions as to the seemingly inevitable trend of events in Eastern Asia.

Need to go faster....
Aight guys, I need some help from all you highly intelligent people. I have a 71 chevelle with the stock motor, wich was a 2 barrel but i switched it to a 4 barrel edelbrock 600 with a stock 350 intake. I have headers and msd ignition also. Im looking to go faster... I have about 1300 dollars to spend. I have 2.73 gears out back and a th350. I need to rebuild my motor and i am not sure where to start. I want some heads but not sure what to do. I could get some camel humps or aftermarket. I could get new rear gears or should i just get a new axle. What about a 4 speed. Inform me and guide me to where i need to be please...... I need A lot of advice, i have the knowledge just need to know what to get...
Get a Performer RPM Air Gap. Get a cam with around 224o duration with as close to 550 lift as possible. Get some full length headers. And get a 750 DP Holley off of Ebay.
Most importantly get these heads or something equivalent. If you want to go faster there are also some 200cc intake heads listed. Those heads will be too big unless you change more things.
I would keep the motor and put some 3.73 gears in the back.
.02 worth
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
for a good seat of the pants difference 3.73 rear gears is a plus i got 3.91 in my sprint and i was amazed at the g force
I`m with 1BAD80, gears are the biggest bang for the buck. if you spend wisely, you`ll have enough left over to add a small torque cam and a double roller timing chain, these mods will make that heavy chevy come out of the hole in a hurry.
So gears will give me the biggest bang huh? I need to rebuild cause its smoking badly. But gears arent gonna cost 1300 dollars so what else can i do?
Depends on what u want to do with the car. U want to race it? use it as a daily driver? Weekend driver? I am putting a rebuilt 355 in a 85 monte carlo. I am running flat-tops, 76CC heads that have been smoothed out in the inside, and planed .020. comp cams xtream energy 268H .477 .480 lift cam. performer rpm intake, eddie 600cfm carb and a B&m torque master 2000 1900-2100 rpm stall. The car has a 3.55 web rear-end. TH350 transmission with a B&M shift kit, and external cooler.
This is only a mild build up because the car is mostly going to be used as a daily driver that has some extra guts behind it. I need to to able to run 87octane gas if I have to.
If your car is NOT a daily driver, I would pull the motor and start rebuilding it since it is smoking. I only have about $1500-$1700 bucks in my engine. I would say it all depends on what u want to use the car for.
Here's my opinion for what it's worth: 1. First get gears-3.73's sound good. 2. a bigger cam (i'm not good with specs, ask some experts around here) 3. Depending on how much you have left, I would either get a higher stall converter, or a better manifold, take your pick....but, make sure they match the rpm band of your cam! I would also try to find a decent priced stage II shift kit, just for the fun factor. Depending on the amount and color of smoke, I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Down the road I would shoot for a basic rebuild kit with new rings and bearings. Funny thing is, I have never taken my own advice, stupid me, but my car runs great so what the hey!
oh yeah, something that I have learned around here is......GEARS, GEARS, GEARS. #1! good luck, check out my nova in the album and let me know what you think!
Since your engine is smokin, I would rebuild that first. For $1300 you could rebuild it, buy some pro-topline heads, and use an XE268 comp cam. That will be a noticable difference over stock and also use a performer RPM air gap intake to replace the stock iron one. Your carb should work fine with that engine. If you dont have a good exhaust system, use either 2.25 or 2.5 duals with an H-pipe.
Rebuild your engine first. Then buy heads, then buy gears,etc.. You could always got to a junk yard and get gears or a rear end. By the way it sounds like you want to build your car, you should plan on eventually spending $2,500-$3,000 or more to get it reliable and fast.
The 268 is a very small cam. If you rebuild the engine, build it at at least 10:1 and use a much bigger cam or you will be dissapointed. Get something with a 230o duration around 550 lift if you want to approach 400 hp. Again, only with the raised compression.
Aight so gears and rebuild are atop my list... I would like to get a new cam and intake also... What do you guys think about the rebuild kit from northern auto parts? The street performance one. And this is my daily driver to school and back.. I would like to install a shift kit. How difficult is that to do? And what should i do about heads?? To get or not to get? And if i get a new big cam i would have to get a new torque converter and valve springs right?
You have the same "right now" symptom that has bitten me more then once. My car was also a daily driver and I should've focused more on reliability then power. I guess the wiser are right, for now just get that sucker freshened up inside and try to find a deal on gears, they're out there. Shift kit isn't hard at all, I was a little uneasy about it, so I had a guy install it with the rebuild (got a deal for $100+parts). They come with instructions and if you are competent with legos or can color inside the lines, then this really shouldn't be a problem; I've had lot's of friends install them, and some them are pretty dim As far as the cam, you can go a bit bigger and not need a new converter, they just help. I have a 270H magnum cam in my 350 and Comp recommends a higher stall, but dose not require one for my cam; on top of that, I have stock springs also. Heads are a pretty diverse field. You could spend everything you have right now on some awesome heads, or do what has worked for the past 30+ years and get some iron bowties worked over to make great power. For the same price as that, you could probably even get some really good mid range aluminum heads. Just do research you'll find what you want. I've been reading up almost daily for the last year, and have yet to decide exactly what build up I want to do. Just remember, there was a time before the aftermarket, as were there fast cars. Don't be suckered in just by a namebrand! good luck!
I agree with Adrenaline Fiend, first make sure everything you NEED is in good working order first: brakes, cooling, electrical, etc... It's not the fun stuff, but necessary. I am young, and only have one car, and I rely on it get me to work, my GTO. Since I bought it, I have had to replace the tranny, radiator, distributor, pumps, hoses, and more to get where I am now taking on the engine. But if the engine is the biggest problem, start there. And if you just want power right now, everyone else's suggestions are good. Good heads make good power. If you don't have enough money for the best parts, buy a piece at a time and be patient, it will be worth it in the end.
That Northern Auto Parts kit looks low quality. You get what you pay for. That kit is more for rebuilding an engine that you will put in a car you are going to sell. If you're going to build a bottom end you should get parts that will last. Don't go through all that trouble to have it last only a couple years.
summit has a stroker kit. not a rebuild kit but a just a replace every thing in your stroker kinda kit.it runs around $1200.00 that would be a big start

full Anomaly Warzone Earth iPhone Game review
Every popular fad is met with a backlash, just as every "en vogue" game
genre will eventually become oversaturated. This is what has happened to
the tower defence genre, one of the early popular game types of the App
Store's reign. Anomaly Warzone Earth's makers realised this and
decided to do something about it - by turning the genre on its head. In
other TD games, you play the role of defender, blasting the invading
waves of foes before they reach your base. Yawn, right? Here, you're the
invader, carefully planning your attacks to break through the enemy
towers' firepower. Apple thought the idea was so neat that it awarded
the game with a Design Award.

The Turning Of The TideSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 03/25/2014 - 13:52
Supporters of the CO2 driven theory of anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) are in full panic mode. The continued hiatus in global temperature increase has led to a flurry of statements denying "the pause," as climate scientists have named it. This new denialism even extends to international organizations like the WHO, that just recently claimed that global warming had not ceased, even though numerous organizations—including Britain's Meteorological Office, NASA, and the IPCC—have admitted that it has. Among climate change true believers there is a scramble on to "find the missing heat" that would explain the pause. Strangely, among these practitioners of group think there is no consensus about the cause of the pause. At the same time, the IPCC is about to release its latest screed regarding climate change and the leaks have been flowing fast and furious, saying there is dissent in the land of consensus. This may well be the turning of the tide on the greatest scientific hoax in history.

Avoiding A Frozen EarthSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Fri, 03/21/2014 - 14:47
Forty million years ago, Earth began slipping from a "hothouse" climate to an "icehouse" climate. Currently the planet is in a brief warm interlude know as an interglacial—a period of retreating ice sheets and shrinking glaciers. As the word interglacial suggests, our current comfortable climate is not permanent, but merely a pause between frigid ice age conditions. Though climate alarmists and media talking heads continue to natter on about uncontrollable rising temperatures a more devastating climate change would be a descent into an ice age so cold and so deep that the entire globe freezes over—it has happened before. A new scientific paper reveals what researchers say is a feedback mechanism that acts as a natural thermostat and keeps Earth from cooling to the point of uninhabitability.
Going Green With Rising CO2Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 03/12/2014 - 12:17
While the debate rages regarding global warming and mankind's role in climate change there is one area that is not in dispute: the steady rise in atmospheric CO2 over the last century. Indeed, climate change alarmists celebrated CO2 readings passing 400ppm at Mauna Loa with news releases and renewed predictions of the coming Apocalypse. But carbon dioxide has other impacts, one of which has recently been documented by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency. According to CSIRO, increased levels of CO2 have helped boost green foliage across the world's arid regions over the past 30 years. This is because of a process called CO2 fertilization, which unequivocally shows that carbon dioxide is plant food.
New Climate Science Book By Dr. Tim BallSubmitted by admin on Tue, 03/11/2014 - 12:06
If you follow the political and scientific debate over climate change there is a new book out that might be of interest. In The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science, Dr. Tim Ball exposes the malicious misuse of climate science by dishonest brokers to advance the agenda of the progressive left. How was legitimate science twisted into a morass of convoluted gibberish? Dr. Ball explores how and why the science was distorted for political purposes. This book explains clearly why Climate Change Alarmism deserves its descriptive label.
The Fall Of CaliforniaSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 03/05/2014 - 15:12
Over 4,000 years ago, the Harappan Civilization of the Indus Valley faded and disappeared. Never heard of the Harappans? Theirs was a Bronze-Age civilization located where Pakistan and northwest India are today. With large, well-planned cities, municipal sewage systems and writing that has never been deciphered, they had a civilization equal to Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece. But the Harappans fell victim to what most view as a modern horror—climate change. Sometime around 2,100 BC the monsoon cycle, vital to all of South Asia, faltered. The reliable rains stopped, and man's earliest civilizations fell. Now we are told that California—that progressive paradise on the Pacific—is poised on the brink of its own drought spawned disaster. So desperate have things become that one restaurant chain has threatened to stop serving guacamole and vintners are turning to witchcraft. Can the total collapse of Californian civilization be far behind?
North Atlantic Deep Water Flow UnreliableSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 02/26/2014 - 14:42
One of the scary scenarios frequently trotted out by climate change alarmists is the possible shutdown of the ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean. This would disrupt northern hemisphere climate, particularly in Europe. Indeed, one Hollywood disaster movie had frozen military helicopters falling from the skies in the UK and Manhattan buried under a tsunami of ice. We are told this could happen at any time, if the world gets too hot from all that CO2 our species is churning out. Now a shocking new paper in the journal Science implies that the standard view of a relatively stable interglacial circulation may not hold for conditions warmer/fresher than at present. Why? Because it happened before, over 100,000 years ago, without the help of man made global warming. Another catastrophic climate threat is shown to be totally natural and to have happened before our species began burning coal and driving SUVs.
FREE Resilient Earth Kindle eBookSubmitted by Resilient Earth... on Mon, 02/24/2014 - 12:14
In 2008, Allen Simmons and Dr. Doug L. Hoffman published The Resilient Earth their seminal book on the science behind climate change. The book has sold well over the years but the purpose behind writing the book was always to inform and educate, not to make money. Nowadays, with a resurgence in interest in climate change, started by uninformed and overtly political comments by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, the need to explain the science of climate change to the public is more pressing than ever. To help inform the public REP has decided to give the Kindle eBook version of The Resilient Earth away for free between 2/24/2014 and 2/28/2014/.

The Hollow Earth, Global Warming And The Truth About ScienceSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 02/19/2014 - 16:32
The past week has witnessed the advent of a new climate change offensive by know nothing progressives, led by the triumphantly ignorant U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry. Kerry and his boss, the equally scientifically naive Barrack Obama, have publicly stated that climate change "is a scientific fact" and that the argument is over. This stunning display of politically motivated, willful belief over scientific rigor demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of scientists and the scientific method. Contrary to popular belief, science is seldom sure of anything and scientists often spend years debating ideas that just don't prove to be true in the end. An illustrative example is the Hollow Earth theory, which suggests that within the bowels of our planet are other, habitable worlds awaiting discovery.

In these glamorous and wealthy worlds murder and mayhem await just beneath the surface.
The Perfidious P-value And False Global Warming StatisticsSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 02/12/2014 - 16:13
A recent article in Nature has the on-line scientific community all a twitter. A news feature has declared "P values, the 'gold standard' of statistical validity, are not as reliable as many scientists assume." This is one of science's dirty little secrets, a way of providing proof of your work using a supposedly impartial statistical measure. In truth, the P value is susceptible to a legion of poor assumptions that make it not just meaningless but often misleading. In an age when historical climate data are being aggressively subjected to reanalysis and 95 percent of climate models have been wrong it is time to stop taking scientific results at face value, because they are most probably wrong.
California Dreamin' Of Wetter TimesSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Wed, 02/05/2014 - 15:03
California, the state that raises 30% of US fresh produce, is in the grip of a severe drought. Billed as the driest period in the state's recorded rainfall history, climate change alarmists have hastened to blame the parched conditions on anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Paleoclimate history tells a different story, however, and highlights the amazingly short attention span of AGW advocates. Going beyond the 163-year historical period, science shows that there have been other, longer lasting and more severe droughts than the current dry spell. Today's drought is minor when compared with ancient Megadroughts, which occurred between 850 to 1090 and 1140 to 1320. In fact, the worst droughts suffered by the American Southwest all happened so long ago that human memory fails us.
Procrastinating About The PauseSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Tue, 01/21/2014 - 13:27
The world is entering the 16th year of the greatest climate science embarrassment in modern history—the pause in global warming. Despite rising IPCC confidence levels and hundreds of computer model predictions, that darned old climate is just not behaving like the boffins say it should. After all, CO2 keeps rising, and we all know that CO2 drives Earth's climate like the thermostat in a house... or not. No longer able to sweep the lack of warming under the observational rug, the climate change community had started flailing about for answers: the heat must be hiding deep in the ocean, it must be soot from China, some have even begun to wonder whether there is something wrong with their models. Most are still convinced that the missing heat is hidden somewhere because they will not accept the simplest explanation—the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming is fundamentally incorrect.
A poll to test the Lewandowsky methodologySubmitted by admin on Fri, 01/10/2014 - 10:52
Here is an opportunity for global warming skeptics to participate in a survey. Have you heard of Dr. Stephan Lewandowsky? He is a cognitive scientist, currently Chair of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Bristol. He is also a global warming true believer who has attempted to discredit climate change skeptics using psychobabble and unethical scientific studies. One of the favorite smears used by Lewandowsky to try and diminish the arguments of climate skeptics is publishing psuedo-scientific psychological studies that "prove" skeptics are conspiracy theorists. In response, Brandon Schollenberger is running a poll of his own to capture the attitudes of skeptics over at WUWT. If you are a skeptic please take the short anonymous poll...
Arctic Vortex VexationSubmitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 01/09/2014 - 14:33
You may have notice that the news media talking heads and TV weather presenters have discovered a new term recently—the Arctic Vortex. In a splendid demonstration of how the weak minded are quickly consumed by group think, and ill understood terms get repeated ad nauseum, the Arctic Vortex has dominated the news during the past week in the US. In truth, the phenomenon is not new. What is new is that its current foray south is being loudly attributed to global warming. For years the effects of a warming Arctic have been the subject of scientific speculation. Dubbed Arctic amplification, some claim it will enhanced extreme weather in the middle latitudes. The fact that such linkage is tenuous at best has not stopped ignorant politicians like the UK's David Cameron and the US's Barack Obama from blaming recent nasty weather on that old nugget, anthropogenic global warming. There is, however, some evidence to the contrary from one scientist who studies atmospheric dynamics and variability under different climates.

How Right-Wing Media Assisted Food Stamp Removal From Farm Bill
House Republicans reportedly plan [1] to remove food stamp funding from the federal farm bill, a move that stands to further jeopardize the survival of the critical anti-poverty program. This move comes after years of right-wing media figures demonizing food stamp recipients as lazy or dependent, with Rush Limbaugh going so far as to propose dumpster diving as an alternative.
Here's a look back at some of the most egregious right-wing attacks on food stamps:

Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet is being lined up to drive a newly-rebuilt Brabham-BMW BT52 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July.
BMW has restored the BT52 in its collection as part of its celebrations of the 30th anniversary of its world championship victory with Piquet and Brabham in 1983.
The BMW-powered car, the work of design legend Gordon Murray, will be present at the Festival of Speed on July 11-14 and the German manufacturer is already talking to Piquet about driving it up the hill.
BMW Motorsport boss Jens Marquardt said: "A car like this has to be running and it is good to remind ourselves and our fans of our heritage."
He explained that contact had already been made with Piquet through long-time BMW Motorsport engine boss Paul Rosche, who masterminded the German manufacturer's 1.5-litre turbo engine programme in the 1980s.
The BT52, chassis #1, and its four-cylinder powerplant have been subject to a ground-up restoration at BMW Classic in Munich, which began last October.
The car was Piquet's spare at seven grands prix over the course of the season and was also raced by Riccardo Patrese at the Belgian and Canadian grands prix.

The arrival of Facebook has been greeted by many young people as an incredible communication vehicle. For the first time, they can inform friends,neighbors or anyone just what was eaten for breakfast and which clothes will be worn today. As a bonus, everyone can see your child's picture of the first day at school. These topics dominate what transpires on Facebook. We are experiencing the trivialization of the American mind.
Facebook is altering the manner in which people dialogue. An individual can make an interesting comment on what you expressed. Of course, the person can not see your visual expression, nor may they ever receive a response. Facebook has invented dialogues that are not dialogues. Facebook has created discussions which terminate abruptly because someone has no way to respond to a point except for silence.
We may term the era of Facebook as "Being Mindless in America."

Probably going off-topic with that one but it's an instance of what you deem is supporting something but can be classed as being offensive to other cultures so I can see both arguments in this thread which do have merit in their own rights. In this case the 56 days in prison imo does have it's merits and I feel he deserved it. Though in the long term this could certainly backfire and surpress legitimate FOS and bent to something more sinister than it actually is. Just been woken up by next door neighbours parrots so this post may not make a whole lot of sense in parts since my brain is still currently in neutral.
