Travel Postcard: 48 hours in Lebanon
By Yara Bayoumy
BEIRUT (Reuters Life!) - The sparkling Mediterranean beckons as you touch down at Beirut airport. Pulsating lights from nightclubs give the capital a joyous, constant rhythm. Glamorous people drive fancy cars.
That was Lebanon during the free-wheeling 1960s when Marlon Brando and Brigitte Bardot used to stop by at the Saint Georges yacht club.
Lebanon is reliving that glamour in 2010, trying to shed a past marred by civil wars, assassinations and conflict with Israel.
While fears of war with its southern neighbor Israel are always simmering, for now the tiny country is trying to make the most of this window of peace.
Once-warring politicians have put aside their sectarian differences to work together to change the image of Lebanon into one of a country of prosperity and tolerance.
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help visitors get the most out of a 48-hour visit. Western passport holders can get a visa at the airport, but make sure you don't have any stamps from Israel, still in a formal state of war with Lebanon.
2 p.m. - Drop your bags and head downtown where the Ottoman-era Grand Serail governmental palace stands regally on a hill top. To get an idea of Lebanon's diverse religious demographics, stop by the St. George Maronite cathedral right next to the blue-domed Mohammed al-Amin mosque. Explore the parking lot-turned-mausoleum in Martyr's Square where assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri is laid to rest. Hariri and 22 others were killed in 2005, sparking four years of political turbulence in Lebanon. Continued...

Several states, including Minnesota, Iowa and Florida, are considering legislation that would make it a felony for activists and journalists to carry out undercover investigations of agribusiness operations, punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Kansas and Montana already have similar laws in place.
What does it all mean? Well, here's a bit of perspective: One hundred years ago, Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," a horrifying exposé of the meatpacking industry, led to the creation of America's first food and drug regulations. Today, it would land the author in jail. Now that's progress! —YL
The New York Times:
—A bill introduced in the Minnesota House in early April punishes not only videographers who pose as workers and record the inhumane treatment of animals, but also those who distribute said videos. The bill seeks to make it a felony to disrupt operations at factory farms, a component intended to punish activists and protesters. One of the sponsors is Rep. Rod Hamilton, a former president of the Minnesota Pork Producers.
—The Iowa House and Senate have approved a bill sponsored by Rep. Annette Sweeney, a Republican and a former executive director of the Iowa Angus Association, that would not only punish whistleblowers but also those who take jobs for the sole purpose of exposing abuses. Those convicted could face five years in prison. Rep. Sweeney said she believes this bill will encourage people to report abuses: "As a livestock producer, I want people to feel if they see something going on this bill empowers them." People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, begs to differ: "They're trying to criminalize someone being an eyewitness to a crime," Jeff Kerr, the organization's general counsel, said. The measure was introduced after humane groups released videos showing chicks being ground alive and pigs being beaten and shocked.
—A bill proposed by Florida state senator Jim Norman would make it a first-degree felony to photograph a farm without written permission from the owner. The bill is currently in the criminal justice committee of the state senate. The maximum prison time for a first-degree felony in Florida is 30 years.

Boshra Al Saadi did time in the punk-pop group Looker as a singer and guitarist for most of the 2000s, but with the start of the new decade, the Damascus-born, Pittsburgh-raised singer stepped away from the band to pursue her own synthed out pop sound as Saadi. In March the indie chanteuse released her debut EP Bad City on the Serious Business label (also home to Looker). The record's title track sees the sweet-voiced singer treating '80s inspired dance pop with a glitchy beat and a sinister glaze.

Remember the "Terrorist Fist Jab?"
June 9, 2011 at 9:17 PM Leave a comment
Gosh golly gee whiz, despite marking it on my calendar, I forgot to put up a post commemorating the third anniversary of the "terrorist fist jab."
Three years ago, when Fox was trying to portray candidate Barack Obama as a terrorist (a theme they continue to this day) their E.D. Hill (now with that bastion of liberalness, CNN) said this:
Scared yet?
BTW, this would be GW doing the same thing:

Immediate Family
About "Deaf" Hester Douwes
It is not certain exactly why the family emigrated to New Netherlands (America), other than the obvious desire for freedom and opportunity. There is no known record of the family on ship passenger lists of the time. The first record is after they arrived in Beverwyck (Albany) in 1651, at which time the children were aged eleven, nine and seven. It could be assumed that they were aboard one of the many ships out of Amsterdam during the initial settlement of the New Netherlands Colony led by Dutch explorer Henry Hudson's discovery in 1609 and the Dutch West India Company trading post operations, starting in 1624.
On October 19, 1651 Jellis was granted permission by the court to distill liquor in Greenbush, a small village across the Hudson River from Albany, in the region called Rensselaerwyck. The young family took the ferry across the river to Greenbush to establish their distillery next to the house belonging to Evert Pels, who himself operated one of the many breweries in Rensselaerwyck. Another record indicates that on June 16, 1653, Jellis brought suit against his neighbor, Jan Van Bremen, for failing to deliver a hog for which Jellis paid ½ anker of brandy, about 5 gallons. Jellis won judgment for 1.30 florins.
Jellis and Hester and their children remained in Greenbush at least through 1654. By 1658 they had crossed the river again to return to Beverwyck, the settlement outside Fort Orange. Around this time Jellis had fallen ill and had become incapacitated and would die the following year at the age of 45.
In 1658, while she was living in Beverwyck, she sued Hans Vos demanding payment of three beaver for a gun she sold him. The court ordered him to settle his account with Mrs. Fonda. In the same year she was sued by Ludovicus Corbus who charged that she had removed his wife's petticoat (from the fence). Hester answered that she had not taken the petticoat but that the plaintiff had pawned it for beaver. The case was continued for lack of evidence. Corbus again charged Hester with taking an apron without his consent. Hester explained that the plaintiff's wife had given her the apron as a pledge for 5½ beaver and she not being satisfied with the apron as a pledge, the plaintiff's wife also gave her an undershirt. If all this petty litigation sounds contemporary, Kiliaen van Rensselaer, the first Patroon, shrewdly noted in his records that, "they stir one another up, suing one another more as a diversion than for the redress of wrongs." Hester started up her own business as early as 1658, engaging in the lucrative beaver trade.
In 1660 Hester married Barent Gerritsen, a widower several years her junior. He arrived in Fort Orange as a youngster in 1646. Early in 1662, Barent, Hester and Sara, then about 16, moved to the newly settled community of Wiltwyck (Kingston). The settlers lived behind a stockade due to the threatening nature of the Esopus Indians. Barent, also a distiller, became famous for the superior type of brandy he produced and became modestly wealthy. Hester still continued her trading. It was truly a two career family, almost unheard of for another 300 years.
At noon on June 7, 1663, the Esopus Indians beat back the guard at the gate and burned most of the settlement to the ground. Barent was one of the first to be bludgeoned to death. Hester and Sara and most of the remaining settlers were taken prisoner and forced to trek through 22 miles of unbroken wilderness. It was not until three months later on September 7th that Hester was released from captivity, but not without the loss of Sara. Hester never recovered from the shock and exposure and remained deaf for the rest of her life.
That same year Hester returned to Beverwyck where her daughter Greetien and her son-in-law Jan Juriansen Becker, a teacher, and their children Jan and Martina, and her son Douw Fonda were living. She had become guilderless and beaverless due to the tragedy in Wiltwyck. She set about regaining her financial security. She sold her first husband's distillery equipment and she went back to court, the scene of many of her former triumphs. She was successful in collecting debts owed her deceased husband's estate. Then in 1670 she married again, Theunius van Vechten, a man several years her senior. Theunius died in 1685 leaving Hester his modest estate. Even at this time she was conducting business as usual. Her last recorded act before her death in 1690 (no, it was not standing before a judge) was standing before the altar of the Reformed Church of Jesus Christ of Albany at the christening of her grandchild Anna Fonda on February 2, 1690.
Jellis Douw Fonda and family made their voyage to America... Although we do not know upon which ship Jellis Douw Fonda and family made their voyage to America, we can make an educated guess or at least narrow it down. The following two facts serve as a window for the timing:
1. The youngest child of Jellis and Hester, Abraham, was baptized on April 14, 1647 in Amsterdam, Netherlands ("Amsterdam Records of the Fonda Family", The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 119, No. 1). He was buried on October 28, 1650 according to Amsterdam burial records. ("Famous Frisians in America", p. 108-109).
2. The first record of Jellis (Gillis) in America was in Fort Orange (now Albany, NY) on October 19, 1651 when he received permission from the court to distill liquor in Greenbush, a small village near Albany ("A Career Woman in 17th Century New York", The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, New York, Vol. 95, No. 5).
Typical Schooner of the time.
So we know that the migration took place between November 1650 and October 1651. According to "A Career Woman in 17th Century New York", when Jellis arrived in Fort Orange in 1651, "he was accompanied by his wife, Hester Jans, and three children, a son Douwe, aged about eleven years, and daughters Geertien and Sara, aged about nine and seven years, respectively".
No ship passenger lists have yet been found which show any names resembling Jellis/Gillis Fonda and his family. So, if you look at the ships that DO NOT have passengers lists, maybe we can narrow it down some.
We know that Jellis did not enter into a contract with the Rensselaerswijck Colony (typically three to six year terms of farm labor in return for the ship's passage). He must have been a free colonist, paying for his own ships fare, since he was not encumbered with any work contracts that we know of.
According to the Marine Museum (translated from the original Dutch by Willem Rabbelier and Cor Snabel of the Netherlands, published with their permission on The Olive Tree Genealogy pages):
"The book/thesis of Jaap Jacobs contains a list of about 500 ship crossings between Amsterdam, the Netherlands and New Amsterdam over the period 1609-1675. In only 56 cases the presence, but not the names, of colonists on board is mentioned." (De Scheepvaart En Handel Van De Nederlandse Republiek Op Nieuw-Nederland 1609-1675 by J.A. Jacobs 1989)
There were only 5 ships sailing from The Netherlands to America between November 1650 and October 1651.: 1. WATERHONT particulier Amsterdam 5 5 1651 Nieuw-A'dam 1651 2. BONTE KOE particulier Amsterdam 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 13 6 1651 3. HOFF VAN CLEEF Adriaen Blommaert particulier Amsterdam 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 15 6 1651 4. GELDERSE BLOM W. van Twiller Amsterdam na 20 3 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 31 7 1651 5. PRINS WILLEM Juryaen Andriessen WIC Amsterdam 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 19 9 1651
Three had passenger lists which do not list any names resembling this family. The ships in this list which DID NOT have passenger lists are:
1. BONTE KOE particulier Amsterdam 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 13 6 1651 2. PRINS WILLEM Juryaen Andriessen WIC Amsterdam 1651 Nieuw-A'dam voor 19 9 1651
Fort Orange - 1635
Explanation of Abbreviations Used:
VOC=Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie * VTC=Van Tweenhuysen Compagnie HCC=Hans Claesz. Compagnie * WIC=West Indies Compagnie Translations of Dutch Words Used:
reder = ship owner *bevrachter = loader vertrekplaats = place of departure aank. plaats = place of arrival datum = date *na = after voor = before *tussen = between eind = end of begin = beginning / early kort na = shortly after *particulier = private owner
So unless there are more ships that we don't know about, you can conclude that Jellis Douw Fonda, his wife Hester Jans and his three young children, Douwe, Grietje and Sara sailed on one of these two ships... the BONTE KOE or the PRINS WILLEM. These are the only ships which fit in the correct time frame, from the correct location and do not have passenger lists.

SRX V-Series
Thru a number of sources it seems the SRX will be the second vehicle to get the V-Series treatment. Im just pondering what that might be. The CTS is getting a LS1/LS6, but for a number of reasons i doubt we would see that put into the SRX-V, so could it be that the first specifically high performance application of the Northstar will be in an SUV. I dont know what do you guys think?
Sounds possible to me. Hey, with the Infiniti FX45 out now, they have a reason to do it.
BTW, is that car HOT or what?

fx45...yes i like it alot...i think its a definite possibility for my wife...i really dont like SUV's but i wouldnt mind borrowing from her once in awhile
Wife nothing! I'm thinking ME. That thing's HOTTTT.
I've gotta drive one just to see if it's as nice as I think it's going to be. The one bad thing I've heard is the ride is supposed to be VERY hard.
I really think these cross-over vehicles are the next big thing. Having something that handles like a sports car, but has the space in it to haul your stuff is the hot ticket. I just wish it got a little better fuel mileage. 15/19 is worse than my Caddy!
i hate to sound like the marketing guys got to me, but id have to agree, the crossover does seem to be a pretty good idea. So far the FX45 is the best ive seen, the Cayenne is cool, but porsche dealers are notorious for taking 5 or more days to fix your car. I just read the srx write up in Car and driver and they liked it alot, so maybe that will be the next big thing I hope it will...damn its time for a bigger garage

I would expect to see blown northstars in the V series cars (other than the CTS) You will recall that the Evoq debuted with a blown northstar making about 400 hp. It seems like a reasonable way of doing it, and given the mass of the cars would be a lot better than a high revving naturally aspirated engine. A torquey, blown northstar in an awd SRX would be an awesome vehicle. I'd like to see north of 450 hp though. Any decent "performance" iteration of a car should have better than 10 lbs per hp.

Let's remember that XV12 got 100 bhp per litre normally aspirated...thus the NorthStars which are designed the same way are definitely capable of the same 100 bhp per litre. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to see 400 bhp normally aspirated NorthStars, especially with the new 4.2, and turbo models with far over 400 bhp. Time will tell...
Am I the only one that likes the Chevy Equinox? Have you seen it?
I think it's on the same platform as the SRX but I think it LOOKS a lot better.

Re: SRX V-Series
sheesh, not here, in my town they give you what everyone else who gets service from that chain gets, a Hyundai Sonata...
Agreed on the FX45 btw, absolutely awesome concept and utility in a decent package. I am not a huge fan of the ovoid design all of the Infinitis are getting now (save for the M45, another powerhouse), and I think the interiors a tad plasticky around the console but still... 20 inch wheels and Horsepower Galore!! I still like the Porsche Cayenne and particularly the Touareg the best though. That Touareg's offroad abilities stunned even me and my die-hard Jeep Grand Cherokee brethren, and with a V8 its no slow poke itself. It may not be as fast as an FX, but it can certainly kick its butt on the real trails, which is cool for the few of us who want to take it out there. You pretty much get most of the techno doo-dads in the Range Rover, with better reliability, and an equally powerful if not more refined engine than the BMW powerplant in the Range.

Re: SRX V-Series
Can't believe how many times I've made requests/searched for performance upgrades to my LH2. Just darn tired on not being able to out-accelerate Honda mini vans!!! Even tried to find out if the LC3 (4.4L) intake would fit on my 4.6L.. The answers just don't seem to be there. I've gotten the impression that those of us looking for performance are far and way in the minority and no one at GM (or in the aftermarket) cares!! Incidentally, I note that there are lots of requests for advice on used SRX's.. I bought mine used with 30,000 miles on it. At 46,000 miles the engine needed replacement and GM wouldn't cover warranty. Supposedly due to poor prior mtce. Had to sign a non-disclosure to even get the replacement engine install covered.. BOOO to GM. Been driving GM for over 50 years. Owned only 2 other brands -a '64 Ford Galaxy, and a '53 Studebaker. I'm now open minded to other brands and lookin seriously at the Jeep Grand Cherokee.....

Bout the only thing you can do is tune it and exhaust. Apart from that not much info or will to add performance to SRX . Better to have the 2 wheel drive version. Lot lighter and less problems to occur. Also get rid of the MIR and air suspension, just standard. If you get jeep get the one with the Hemi

Mike from USA asks:
What is PowerShell and what is it used for?
PowerShell is a command-line shell created for Windows. This program interprets text provided by the system administrator and then implements the text by telling the system how to respond to the given command.
The latest version is PowerShell 2.0, which was released in 2009. It allows system administrators and programmers to manage their computer's operating system. With the ability to automate and control administration of various applications in the computer, as well as Windows itself, program developers and professionals generally find it much easier to perform maintenance.
PowerShell is capable of executing 4 types of commands; cmdlets, files with '.ps 1' after them, functions included specifically in the PowerShell program, as well as other executable programs. The ability to create complex commands is an additional concept PowerShell uses. This means a given command is able to be sent to another command as input.
The cmdlets are responsible for performing tasks in PowerShell. These commands have specific parameters that control how the task is actually performed. To form complex commands, cmdlets are strung together, making the programmer more efficient with the commands created. Over 100 cmdlets exist already in PowerShell, plus administrators are able to write their own cmdlets as well.
Accessing the registry, file system, or even digital signature certificate stores is possible with PowerShell. Besides these simple features, the newest version of PowerShell also includes the features listed below:
Script Debugging
Administrators can set breakpoints in commands, columns, lines, and variables. It's at this breakpoint that a specific action will occur, which is also determined by the programmer.
Integrated Scripting Environment
Interactive commands can be run in a graphical environment. Other features of ISE include graphical debugging, color-coded syntax, context-sensitive help, selective execution, and Unicode support.
Run commands on a remote computer
Connecting remotely to other computers can be achieved three different ways with PowerShell 2.0; fan-out, fan-in, and interactive. Commands can be sent from the computer running PowerShell to one or two additional remote computers.
Administrators and script developers are able to use scripts within PowerShell to define a runspace environment that is restricted. The self-contained context won't affect anything outside the module and is also considered to be a reusable unit.
As you can see, PowerShell makes management of a computer operating system not only more efficient, but also easier. An administrator can quickly adjust or update multiple user accounts at once, instead of performing the same task on each individual account. Having a knowledgeable background in programming makes PowerShell much easier to use.

An LNG terminal has multiple functions: reception of the LNG tankers, unloading of the LNG (liquefied natural gas) cargos, tanking, regasification, metering, odorization. End goal: the supplying of the transmission system with natural gas on behalf of its customers.
An LNG terminal carries out four main functions:
Reception and unloading of the ships
On arrival at the terminal, the LNG tanker is moored at the unloading dock. Articulated pipes ("arms") are connected to the tanker's isothermal tanks and unload the ship of its cargo. The LNG then goes through pipes designed to withstand very low temperatures (- 160°C), which transport it to the tanks.
Tanking of the LNG
The LNG is then stored in cryogenic tanks (designed for very low temperatures) that are able to withstand a temperature of -160°C in order to keep it in a liquid state. The outer shell of the tanks is made of reinforced prestressed concrete (as is the case at Fos-Cavaou) or of steel. Their insulation makes it possible to limit boil-off. The low-volume boil-off that nevertheless occurs (low heat leak into the equipment) is collected by compressors and reincorporated into the LNG.
The capacity of the tanks was sized to ensure the continuity of supply of the transmission system between two deliveries of liquefied natural gas.
The liquefied natural gas is removed from the tank, pressurized (between 70 and 100 bars), then regasified using heat exchangers that use sea water to reheat the gas.
Emission into the transmission system
Having returned to a gaseous state, the gas undergoes different types of processing (metering, analysis, odorization) before being injected into the natural gas transmission system.
In the case of Fos-Cavaou, the natural gas is sent out into the transmission network at around 90 bars via one gas pipelines to the Saint Martin de Crau interconnection station, situated 24 km from the terminal.

Pelosi: 'President Bush Has Still Not Provided a Clear Plan and Strategy for Success in Iraq'
Washington D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Secretary of Defense's report to Congress on Iraq:
"The Bush Administration's second report describing the measures of security and stability in Iraq is as incomplete as the first report. President Bush still has not provided a timetable for achieving performance standards and goals for the Iraqi security forces. The report does not clearly state what has to be done so that Iraqis can provide security in Iraq independent of U.S. troops.
"The American people and our men and women in Iraq deserve to know what President Bush's plan is for training and equipping sufficient numbers of Iraqi forces so that our troops can come home. President Bush has still not provided a clear plan and strategy for success in Iraq; until he does so, he will not have met his obligation to the nation.

While Pelosi has made empty statements like this, she has not joined her Bay Area colleagues Barbara Lee, Pete Stark, Lynn Woolsey in calling for an end to the occupation (even with their inexcusable timetables of beginning the withdrawal at the end of 2006). She has merely called for Bush to make a plan, saying it is his responsibility. That is not the case. Congress has the power to end this war by ending the funding. That is, in part, how the long nightmare of Vietnam finally was finished, Congress said it was no longer going to fund it.
Unfortunately, Pelosi has a long record of supporting the funding the Iraq war and funding occupation in the Middle East in general, being an ardent supporter of Sharon's militarism in his continued occupation of the West Bank.
On September 26, there was a protest in front of her office in San Francisco protesting Pelosi's continued support for the politics of occupation and militarism. That was initiated by United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink and many others. Pelosi is not representing the people of San Francisco until she calls for immediate withdrawal from the slaughterhouse of Iraq.
I agree completely. Nancy, like almost all the ather Dems. in congress rubber stamp everything Bush want in this war. None of have the courage to stand up and call a spade a spade. Who do they represent? It sure isn't the people that elected them. Every once in a while Barbara Boxer will stand up and speak part of the truth, but even she's been quiet lately. So far as dian is concerned, she may as well change parties, because it's hard to tell the difference between her and the Rep.
"Corrupted by wealth and power, your government is like a restaurant with only one dish. They've got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side. But no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen." -- Huey Long
Don't take Huey's word for it, or mine, for that matter. Just consider the venue for the President's recent speech, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and what it signifies for the relative positions of the two major American political parties. NED is one of the most hellish of all the spawns of your out-of-control government.
To expand Huey Long's metaphor, NED is the ultimate in political fusion cuisine. Where else could former Trotskyites, Democratic Socialists, and Hegelians appreciatively receive the lucubrations of a fourth-generation Republican oligarch who coincidentally receives instructions from God about his conduct of foreign policy?
All calumny by Karl Rove to the contrary, the Democrats can hold their heads up high. They are a pillar of the National Security State. As for the American people, if they have a shred of intelligence or self-respect left, they will find themselves another restaurant.
One element of Bush's success has been apathy. Without the dynamic of not knowing what is really going on, the current administration would not have gotten, elected in 2000 and 2004, into a war with a white lie, or no bit contracts in Iraq in the sum of billions of US dollars -- I wounder what a kickback from that kind of money would bring. Mr. Bush cannot hold the pure mass of lies he's unloaded on the American people together. For what its worth, apathy can only survive in good times. Sooner that later people will want to know why their dollars don't have the same buying power it once did, and sooner than later people will want to know why we are fighting this war if we were not under any direct threat. Our men and women don't have to die like they are -- blown to bits in a foreign land away from love ones who will never see them like they were when they left to fight this war. One of the biggest oversight is Bush's ever changing reasons for fighting this war; this is nothing more than an internal struggle turned outward to rationalize why he is killing so many people for no good reason. We are in a sad time and we need to only look up and define the realities around us to see it.
Poor Nancy Pelosi. She actually thinks Bush will come up with a plan! Why didn't she support Barbara Lee's request for an investigation into materials related to the Downing St. Memo? By failing to do so, she condoned the deceptions by which he led us into an unnecessary war, clearly without a plan. Asking for a plan is an empty gesture. In her current position, Pelosi should be rallying her fellow Democrats to admit that this war was a mistake, based on false premises, and to end the whole sorry spectacle right now. Doesn't she see that this is HER responsibility? And her opportunity to demonstrate leadership?
The normally unified Democrat Party has been successfully fractured by their own opposing objectives of defeating Republicans on the one hand, and supporting the neocons' proxy war for Israel on the other. These liberal Democrats are finding it difficult to support withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, while simultaneously hoping for continued occupation and control of Moslem countries to protect Israel's expansion plans.
"Corporate money not used for political campaigns? The thought is preposterous on its face. Any schoolchild knows that politics is not about highfalutin debates and policy papers; it is about putting the screws to the fat cats and squeezing them until they squeak and then hiring agents to level your hapless opponent with a barrage of rotten fruit and dead cats as you yourself stand above the fray, Bible in hand, your arm around some orphans, eyes upraised to Old Glory, your face nicely lit. And you win the race and go to work flogging your timid colleagues and raising truckloads of dough and building your war chest and scaring the bejeebers out of people. That's how it's done."

Howard pledges $75m wave of renewable energy
THE Coalition yesterday committed $75 million to new renewable energy technologies in a bid to gain credibility with a voting public sceptical of its performance on climate change.
Green groups described John Howard's grants program for companies developing new forms of green energy as "shadow boxing" and said the Labor Opposition had also failed to deliver any significant climate change policies.
On the same day the Opposition pledged $489 million for solar panels on schools, the Prime Minister's new grants scheme delivered $5 million to a company developing wave power.
The Perth company, Carnegie Corp, is also involved in so-called clean coal technology.
"The climate change challenge means no less than a fundamental transformation to a low-carbon economic future," Mr Howard said. "Australia will need a comprehensive portfolio of clean energy solutions for a low-carbon economy."
In a press conference, the Prime Minister said Australia needed to "move away from our dependence on fossil fuels" while at the same time supporting the expansion of the coal industry.
"I think the coal industry will always be a vital industry in this country but over time we will embrace clean coal technology I don't question the expansion of the coal industry," he said.
The Australian Greens senator Christine Milne called on the two major parties to stop promoting ad hoc, election-focused measures and set out strategic plans to tackle climate change.
"Mr Rudd is offering a lot more money for renewable energy than Mr Howard, but both of these announcements are election-driven cash handouts, not strategic, coherent plans for renewable energy," Senator Milne said.
"Mr Howard's paltry $75 million offering is only three times as much as his misleading climate advertising campaign. It pales into insignificance next to the Government's handouts to the coal industry."
The major parties' climate change policies were "very modest" and "marginal, at best", said the Australian Conservation Foundation's executive director, Don Henry.
"A target to get 25 per cent of our electricity from renewable energy by 2020, coupled with energy efficiency measures, would generate $33 billion in new investment and create enough renewable electricity to power every home in Australia," he said.
Last month the Coalition said it would aim to supply about 15 per cent of the nation's electricity from clean energy.
Labor is yet to announce a renewable energy target.

How many crows constitutes a nuisance?
Picture a crow about to commit a depredation: Note the look in her shiny black eye.
There are practical reasons to regard crows as pests. A farmer worried about his crops has grounds to erect a scarecrow or take them down with a shotgunbut what about the rest of us? What is it about crows we find so unnerving?
Vague ideas that they spread diseases are mostly the stuff of overprotective mothers. Is it something about their blackness? Workers at animal shelters will sometimes tell you that black dogs are the hardest to get adopted. Why would we disdain black animals? Perhaps for reasons as witless as that darkness is unknowable and frightening; so too, therefore, are black things. During the Black Plague, in the 14th century, crows were seen feasting on human bodies. For all their intelligence, they've learned nothing about reverenceand for that, we blame them. Crows don't kill humans. Still, we call a group of crows a "murder." (Ravens fare a little better. Three or more are merely an "unkindness.")
The speaker of Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" calls his midnight visitor a "grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore." At the start, we find the narrator alone and listless, pining for a woman, Lenore, who is forever lost to him. The raven raps on the door like a person and steps inside. The bird's behavior is maddening because it's so subtle and inexplicable. "Never flitting," it does nothing but sit, stare and repeat the word "Nevermore." Maybe it means that Lenore will never return. It could be deeper, that there's no escape from the clinging, unknowable dissatisfaction that lives in the hearts of men. Or it could truly mean nothing. In any case, the agony comes from the raven's merciless taunting, that he knows something we don't. And he's not going to tell us.
Perhaps crows appear smug because they're so successful. The key to their success is their resourcefulness, adaptabilityin short, their intelligence. Humans have long-held antagonistic relationships with such persistent creatures. We hate rats, pigeons ("rats with wings"), Canada geese, roaches. We get bored of seeing the same few animals. Floating down the Clark Fork River on a recent Sunday, my friends and I saw a bald eagle perched in a tree along the riverbank and were awed and humbled. We saw what may have been the same bird the following Wednesday, and half-mocking, half-serious, we rolled our eyes and said, "God, a bald eagle again. Boring!"
Consider the panda, a stubbornly unsuccessful animalmore giant raccoon than bear. Pandas seem to hate sex and refuse to eat anything but bamboo. Yet we root for pandas and spend millions of dollars yearly on spirited campaigns to keep them breeding. Meanwhile, crows and other corvids are wildly successful, present on just about every continent in record numbers every year, and we resent them. It seems unfair. We crave the rationed symmetry of zoos and arks. Too many of one kind of animal means ecological imbalance. It makes us feel as though we've done something wrong. It makes us think the crows are winning.
Crows have thrived by borrowing many of our same strategies. They roost on our lampposts and fences and largely eat what we throw away. It could be that they're a little too close for comfort.
Think back to the anti-drug commercial in which the mustached father bursts into his son's room, demanding to know where his son learned that drugs were an effective way to manage pain and boredom, and the son shouts back, "I learned it from you, Dad!" Watching crows fighting one another for the discarded french fries we were too stuffed to finish reminds us of something we don't like about ourselves, and we can't help but blame them for it.
Our relationship with crows wouldn't be so complicated if they weren't so damn smart. Mosquitos swarm in the millions, you kill them with a bloody, satisfying smack and you forget about them. But there's something about crows that makes them impossible to ignore: The gears in their heads keep turning.
We're not that cool.
Erick Greene is a wildlife biologist and has been a professor at the University of Montana for the last 20 years. As part of his current research, Greene has been analyzing crow calls in the wild. For this, he works along the Kim Williams Trail with a falconer. The falconer lets loose predatory birds, mostly hawks, who fly through the woods and return to the falconer's gloved hand. Greene and his associates then record and analyze the crows' alarm calls and how they're heard and interpreted by the surrounding wildlife. The calls can be very specific. Crows have different sounds for "hawk flying," "hawk sitting," etc., which is alarmingly like syntax. When a predatory bird flies by and a crow detects it, what follows is something Greene describes as a "wave of information" through the forest. Within seconds, all the animalsthe chickadees, the squirrels, the rabbits, the deerknow a predator is coming and appropriately panic.
Greene's work illustrates another aspect of crow intelligence, which is their ability to recognize and remember human faces. It only takes one or two trials before crows in the area come to recognize the falconer and identify him as an enemy. Inelegant but true: Scientists solve the problem with disguises.
Not only do crows recognize the experimenters who have taunted them, they tell all of their friends. In 2006, researcher John Marzluff and his team began an experiment on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. Wearing rubber masks, the team banded seven crowsa brief, humiliating experience, but one that's ultimately harmless. One of the human experimenters, wearing a caveman mask, was antagonistic to the birds, while another, wearing a Dick Cheney mask, behaved neutrally. When experimenters walked through the campus again wearing the masks, the crows reacted aggressively toward anyone wearing the caveman maskand not just the crows that were banded, but dozens of crows throughout the campus. The experiment demonstrates not only the crows' ability to recognize our faces, but also that they were able to somehow describe the caveman mask to other birds in the area. And they remembered the villain up to six months later.
Dustin Gliko, who works at the Albertson's supermarket on East Broadway, has had ominous encounters with crows. One day, on a cigarette break, Gliko spotted a lonely crow in the parking lot, he says, and fed him some leftover popcorn chicken. It became a standing date, and when Gliko was without popcorn chicken, the crow harassed him. Now, Gliko isn't like Brian Donahue. He likes crows; he's always noticed their odd behavior and admired them. So he knew about the two crows that hang around outside his girlfriend's house. They eat from a garbage can around the corner and roost on the fence.

I have used this versatile clipper for many years on both dogs and horses. It is still running well after only routine maintenance.

A great set of clippers! I use mine on my dogs...Had a set that lasted 20 + years, hope these are as good!
|by Mary France "Lover of pits"
|Date Added: Thursday 29 September, 2011
This particular clipper was recommended to me by a vet tech who has groomed hundreds of horses, goats, and dogs. I needed a sturdy pair of clippers to keep my two elderly dogs shaved down short as trips to the groomer were stressful for them, and they no longer tolerated brushing of any kind. No reflection on my wonderful groomer-my girls were just too old and had too many health issues to travel and be in different surroundings comfortably. These clippers did the trick! I can quickly and safely keep them shaved short. They are easy and comfortable to use and get rid of the dogs' incredibly thick double coats quickly. The cord is nice and long for dog grooming. The girls stay in their familiar surroundings, are much less stressed, and it's a win-win for all.

Undefeated LSRV boys basketball team seeking championship finish
February 10, 2011
Remaining regular season schedule for the Little Snake River Valley School (Wyo.) boys varsity basketball team:
• Feb. 11 — Encampment at LSRV
• Feb. 12 — at Hanna
• Feb. 15 — Hayden at LSRV
• Feb. 19 — Saratoga at LSRV
Remaining regular season schedule for the Little Snake River Valley School (Wyo.) boys varsity basketball team:
• Feb. 11 — Encampment at LSRV
• Feb. 12 — at Hanna
• Feb. 15 — Hayden at LSRV
• Feb. 19 — Saratoga at LSRV
Sitting in the locker room after taking third place in the 2010 Wyoming 1A State Tournament, Little Snake River Valley School (Wyo.) boys varsity basketball coach Paul Prestrud looked at his players.
Playing in a consolation game, Prestrud said, is tough. Even if you win, you know you can't be the best.
"I looked at every single player and asked them what we can do to get better," he said. "We were young and returned every starter this year, so we knew we had a chance to be back in the same position."
Coming into this season, the Rattlers worked on defense, the aspect the entire team thought needed improvement, Prestrud said.
With four games remaining before the regional tournament, the Rattlers sit at 18-0 and have a realistic shot of finishing the season undefeated and with the state title they fell short of last season.
"We have played really well this year and have been tested a few times by good teams," Prestrud said. "Other games, we still played our best and ran away with the game."
The Rattlers played St. Stephens on Jan. 14, the team that beat them in the regional tournament last season and is currently ranked second in the Wyoming 1A division.
LSRV won by 13 points.
Besides defense, Prestrud said he attributes a lot of his team's success to the intensity they play with every game.
"We have been playing for three months and the guys still come out with the same intensity they did at the beginning of the season," he said. "We have stayed together and stayed focused on what we need to do to win."
The Rattlers will play Encampment tonight and Hanna on Saturday in their last two Three Trails Conference games. They host Hayden and Saratoga next week.
If they finish the regular season undefeated, the Rattlers will be the number one seed in the 1A West Regional Tournament on Feb. 24.
Prestrud said the same intensity his team plays with in games can't always be seen in practices.
The Rattlers have only eight players on their squad, so scrimmaging and running offensive and defensive sets are not always possible, Prestrud said.
The solution: former LSRV players come to practice to give the current team bodies to scrimmage against.
"About six to eight former players, many who have won state championships, help us with running our offense and defense," Prestrud said. "They are older, bigger and stronger and they show us what we can do."
Occasionally, Prestrud said, when his team scrimmages the alumni for an entire eight-minute quarter, the alumni win.
"Being able to scrimmage allows my team to see there is more than just shooting in the game of basketball," he said. "We are able to box out and do other drills we can't do with just eight players."
It's not easy to have an unblemished record, Prestrud said, but having five starting players who can all score helps.
"We have five guys that can lead the team," he said. "Any team we play has to be aware of all five players, which allows us to open our offense up."
Prestrud said another team at the school has helped his players realize what they will have to do to win a state championship — the LSRV football team.
The six-man football team went undefeated in the fall and won the Wyoming six-man football state title.
"These guys learned after playing on the football team what it takes to win a state title," he said. "They know they have to play their best every game.
"We have six or eight games before the state tournament, but our team will be really disappointed if we're not in the championship game."

Hannah & Emil (edition 2012)
by Belinda Castles
Work details
Hannah and Emil by Belinda Castles
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was an enjoyable read and made all the more so because it was based on the life of real people and described events in history that really happened and enabled me to feel a part of them. The book covers the period 1902-1972 and is the story of Hannah a Russian Jew and Emil a German veteran of the first war It is told alternately in both their voices. They meet in Brussels after Emil has escaped from Germany following the killing of his father. They do make a life together in England for three years before Emil is interned and sent away, ending up in Australia, and Hannah follows to the other side of the world. This was a good read, a story of real people living through difficult times in the world's history with their love for each other shining through.
Hannah and Emil is a novel pieced together from real letters, diaries and family lore, interspersed with the vivid imagination of the author. Based on the lives of Belinda Castles' grandparents, it relates a remarkable story of courage, love, loss and longing.
Told in alternating first person and third person chapters, advancing the years from 1902 to 1972, the novel traces the remarkable story of Emil, a working class German forced to flee his homeland, leaving his family behind, as the Nazi party gained power, and Hannah, a middle class, Russian Jew in England whose social conscience and independent spirit led her through Europe as a journalist and interpreter. Their meeting in a Brussels cafe, sparked a love affair that transcended the political, religious and social strictures of the time.
Emil's story, as a German refuge from the Nazi party in Britain, is not one often explored in wartime fiction and I thought his forbearance of his fate was admirable. While I was vaguely aware that foreigners were interred for a period, I hadn't given it much thought and I wasn't aware that many were sent to camps in Australia. At least it seems they were treated reasonably well here, though conditions were still difficult and the enforced separations from loved ones tragic.
I admired Hannah's ambitious idealism and her strength of character. She was a woman ahead of her time, intelligent, brave and independent. My heart broke for her as her young German guests sung the anti-Jew tune, and Emil's son rejected her care as tainted. Left alone when Emil is taken, Hannah refuses to slide into despair and instead follows her lover to the other side of the world despite the risks.
The story is enhanced by so closely following the real path of Heinz and Fay. The smaller details of their lives may be creative fiction but their larger joys and agonies are truths that connect them as individuals with history.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen more of the early relationship between Hannah and Emil, essentially the pair meet and then the story jumps ahead three years where we find them living together in England. I imagine that those years would have been some of the most difficult and joyful for the couple and I think more detail about this period would have fully explained their bond, given the sacrifices they both must have had to make to be together.
I enjoyed Hannah and Emil, I found the historical details fascinating and the relationship to the authors family history gives it an additional layer of poignancy. This is a novel Castles can be proud of and a beautiful way to honour her remarkable grandparents.

Social Question
What to wear to a military graduation?
Asked by ANef_is_Enuf (25161) September 5th, 2010
I'm stumped. I'm guessing it should be dressy-casual, no jeans and no ballgowns.
But aside from that I'm feeling very uninspired. It will be in South Carolina in 2 weeks, so I am assuming that it will still be pretty warm out. I would just guess a sundress.. but I have been searching for a sundress all summer and there were just none that I liked this year. So without a sundress, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Reshma Saujani:
Teach girls bravery, not perfection
We're raising our girls to be perfect, and we're raising our boys to be brave, says Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code. Saujani has taken up the charge to socialize young girls to take risks and learn to program — two skills they need to move society forward. To truly innovate, we cannot leave behind half of our population, she says. "I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection."

|Re: [OT] Flash Platform roadmap
|Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:17:13 GMT
Presentation interface of Flash and Flex interest precisely the prospects, it's not interesting for a wide range of developers, who write code that leverages client-server communication, data processing, physics, AI and many many more. I, for once, being an AS3 programmer at my last job had to deal purely with only the code that manages some video-peer-to-peer-chat kind of thing, and the visual side of project never was in my real of responsibility. However, the must-have visual side of thing (which in my case was an ideal white screen 600x800 pixels) hindered the process a lot - Flash player is creepily slow and unproductive when communicating outside. On tests, you would often want to run 100 copies of the program, but maybe even more... running so many flash players would be very unhealthy for the system :) And, yeah, like Omar Gonzalez says - testing. You may think about testing as unimportant, but the larger the project is, the higher % of time it spends in testing. In fact, a project with the development cycle of about a year may spend 1-2 months in actual development, and the rest is testing. Not being able to automatically register or send clicks to player is maddening. If, as I mentioned it before, the player could have been combined of two parts, one being the runtime for the code, that expect callbacks from another part for doing the rendering and piping in the input events - that would be priceless, as someone (well, someone like me even!) could've written a mock for the interaction API to send automatically generated signals back and forth. This is also where HTML wins on almost all positions - you can automate the testing, the continuous integration, and make it all run automatically, saving a lot of work hours for QA personnel... Best. Oleg

Tonight turn your left shoulder towards the North Star Polaris and you will be looking due east. The first thing that you will see–in fact, you can't miss it–is a very bright, fat star about halfway up to the zenith. This is actually the giant planet Jupiter. Tonight three of its many satellites are visible with binoculars although often four can be seen. From left to right their names are Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Io is in front of Jupiter at the moment, but will pop out from the glare later tonight on the right. As the days go by, the satellites constantly shuffle their positions. One thing that never changes is they always fall on a nearly straight line that also goes through Jupiter.
Just over two degrees to the left of Jupiter (a finger width at arm's length) is the planet Uranus, a much fainter planet. Although just visible to the naked eye at a dark site, you will need binoculars to glimpse it if there is any light pollution at all. Uranus is not physically close to Jupiter but merely lies in nearly the same line of sight. It is, in fact, nearly a billion and a half miles further out than Jupiter, and no details can be discerned with binoculars other than its existence.
High in the east tonight (in fact, by midnight it will be directly overhead), is the asterism known as the Great Square of Pegasus. An asterism is a group of stars that form a noticeable pattern but is not necessarily a constellation. The square consists of four modestly bright stars, each side of the "square" is about 25 degrees wide. If you hold your hand at arm's length and spread your thumb and pinky finger as far apart as they will go, that will cover about 25 degrees of sky – so the Great Square is a big asterism! One can use the Square to gauge the amount of light pollution at your viewing location. On a perfect night under a completely dark sky there are roughly 20 stars visible to the naked eye inside the Square. How many can you see? In Southwest Florida count yourself lucky to see five.
Off to the southeast, about 10 degrees closer to the horizon than Jupiter, is the star Fomalhaut. It's the only bright star in an otherwise rather barren section of the sky. It's interesting to note that it's a rather close neighbor of our Sun – only about 25 light years off. Fomalhaut also is known to have at least one planet circling it; a possible goal for explorers of the distant future.

No Deal: Dan Smith Cruises to $125k TCOOP Title
Dan Smith added yet another accolade to his diverse bag of results in the PokerStars Turbo Championship of Online Poker yesterday.
Smith smashed his way through a 4,123-player field in TCOOP-17 NL Hold'em (Turbo 1R1A), declined a deal three-handed and went on to win the event outright for $125,146.
For those keeping track at home "KingDan" has multiple Super High Roller titles, over $5.8 million in live-tournament earnings, and a Sunday Million title.
Smith is apparently a master negotiator because he managed to cut a deal during his Sunday Million win that saw him get paid $8,000 more than first place was supposed to award.
The final table of TCOOP-17 likely wouldn't agree to any such deals, however, as it included experienced pros Stephen "Zugwat" Silverman and Magnus "Girrofdonian" Martin who finished ninth and third respectively.
It was a busy week for pros taking part in TCOOP as Sam Stein defeated Kevin MacPhee in Event 4 $55 NL Hold'em to win $48,616.
Here's a look at the complete final-table results for TCOOP-17:
- 1. Dan "Danny98765" Smith (Canada) $125,146.32
- 2. Victor chuch (Mexico) $93,260.70
- 3. Magnus "Girrofdonian" Martin (UK) $65,760.75
- 4. Phantomes124 (Austria) $45,833.25
- 5. Kennethmedh (Sweden) $33,876.75
- 6. jerbi9999 (Israel) $25,905.75
- 7. krec23 (Russia) $17,934.75
- 8. Spencer "UH Big Tex" Hudson (Mexico) $9,963.75
- 9. Steven "Zugwat" Silverman (Canada) $6,376.80

Folk Talk
LIKE every other kind of speech the Yorkshire dialect has its idioms. Without a knowledge of these it is impossible to write it correctly or to speak it as it should be spoken. Some of these usages differ but slightly from ordinary English, but these may be said to form the niceties of the folk-talk, and it is here that the difficulty in acquiring it mainly lies.
It may possibly be found of interest if I give a few examples of our idioms and modes of expression, though they can only be taken as samples of hundreds of others, and I shall not be able here to arrange them in any kind of order.
Perhaps I can begin with no better instance than our peculiar use of the verb 'to call.' In asking a person his name, the Yorkshire form of the question is not 'what is your name?' but 'what do they call you?' When examining school children in the country districts it frequently happened in putting this, the first question in the Catechism, to them, that I was met only with vacant stares; but the moment the form was changed to that in common dialectical use the answer was invariably given. For some reason or other this first question in the Church Catechism is often omitted by the teachers - a mistake surely, for many a lesson may be taught from the meaning or use of a name; and to those who are inclined to pass over this important question in the Catechism and who ask 'what's in a name,' I reply, often a great deal. But I must not wander off into by-paths.
There is another meaning of 'to call' which is of universal use throughout the district. 'To call' people means to abuse them to their faces (to abuse behind their backs is to illify), to call them bad names. Often when words run high the pronoun thoo is interspersed with great emphasis, thus indicating supreme contempt, while in cooler moments and without emphasis it is but the sign of close familiarity and friendship. There is, for instance, all the difference in the world, in commencing a sentence, between Dust ta think? &c. and Dust thoo think? &c. The Yorkshire equivalent for 'to call' anyone, in the sense of attracting their attention, is 'to call of' him; thus we should say Noo, Polly, be sharp; run an' call of Tom. Similarly we say 'wait of' a person, never 'wait for' him.
There are two expressions in connection with the verb 'to think' which deserve notice, viz. 'think to' and 'think on.' ' Think to' is equivalent to 'think of' in standard English, as in the phrase 'what do you think to it?' 'Think on' signifies the same as 'remember,' as in the sentence, Noo, thoo mun think on. This idiom is also used actively as Think ma on, i.e. remind me.'
The double negative is in universal use: it is no uncommon thing to hear three or even four negatives in succession where one only is required; thus, He nivver said nowt neeaways ti neean on 'em (He never said anything one way or another to any of them). Again, the double negative would be used in such an expression as the following - He'd nut putten a deal o' nowt inti t' land (He had not put much of anything into the land). Times and oft when I was Inspector of Schools have I heard and seen written 'Lead us not into no temptation'; and this, perhaps, is as good an example as any, because here the negative is thrown in when there is no corresponding affirmative in the sentence, thus showing what a strong tendency there is to use it. The following example I cannot refrain from quoting: it was said by an irate owner of a garden when peeping over the wall after the reception of a few stones or other missiles, and seeing a boy standing demurely, looking as if butter would not melt in his mouth - neeabody 's neea bisniss ti thraw nowt inti neeabody's gardin!
There is a peculiar use of the verb 'to be' which may here be noticed. The ordinary construction of the past participle passive is changed to the infinitive active with 'be.' Thus the expression 'it will have to be taken up' becomes in dialectical form it'll be ti tak up. Or again, at a game at cricket, for instance, some one disputes the word of the umpire, and indignantly exclaims: Whya! if ah 's oot, ah s'all be ti hug oot (Well I if I'm out, I shall have to be carried out). Or perhaps the ball is lost, whereupon the fielder calls out that it'll be ti finnd, not 'it will have to be found.'
Again, we frequently find words verbalised, and not seldom fittingly and forcibly so. Let me give one or two specimens: a good example is that formed from 'over' to be overed means to be finished, and is one of our commonest usages. Or take the case of the word 'meat,' which in the dialect, as in the Bible (Lev. xiv. 10; St. Luke xxiv. 41, &c.), means any kind of food, and not simply flesh meatwhich, by the way, is called butcher's meat: to meat mysen simply means to find my own food. A relative of mine once went into the cottage of a widow who was very badly off: to eke out a living she took in a lodger; the house was small and the visitor expressed surprise that the arrangement could be carried out, and enquired how it was managed; whereto the widow made answer: Well ya see, ma'am, he meats hissen an' ah weshes him, i.e.' he finds his own food, and I wash for him.' To reet means 'to set to rights,' and is used in a variety of ways: sometimes 'up' is added to the verbal form, and to reet up means 'to correct,' or, as we say in Yorkshire, ti stthraiten. Thus it was said to me once with reference to a troublesome boy: Ah can't deea nowt wit' lad; he wants sum yan ti reet him up. To hot and to bath are substituted for 'to heat,' and 'to bathe'; even such phrases as to potato and to strawberry would be commonly used to express to plant with potatoes or strawberries. To voice a person is to make him hear by calling to him, to make the voice reach him.
'Good' and 'bad' have their peculiar treatment. In the first place, they have the meaning of 'easy' and 'difficult' ; e.g. we say good ti see or bad ti see; good ti tell or bad ti tell. Again, good often signifies 'well,' e. g. yan mud as good stop at yam (one might as well stay at home). If a thing is well made it is said to be good made; or if a sheep has a thick fleece, it is said to be good wool'd; this expression being also used figuratively in the sense of plucky or brave. Also we must note the verbal use of the same word, which is curious; thus ah gooded mysen means 'I raised my hopes'; it would be used in such a sentence as the following: Ah gooded mysen at ah could git ti t' chetch ov Eeastther Day. And lastly, we have the phrase a good few, meaning 'a considerable number.'
There 's nowt aboot that is an expression used in an argument, and signifies 'there is nothing to be said against that'; i. e. I admit that point. He 's going in twenty, thirty, &c., i. e. 'he is in his twentieth, thirtieth, &c. year.
The dialect is prolific in words that relate to the state of a person's health or bodily condition - medical terms, as we may call them. In visiting the sick, a clergyman is naturally in the way of hearing many words of this class, some of them very peculiar. I scarcely know how a south-country man who comes suddenly to practise in Yorkshire escapes making an occasional blunder in prescribing for his patients, at least in the case of many of the old folks.
You ask a man how he is, and he says, ah 's betther or ah 's quiet betther; this does not mean that he is improving, but that he is quite well again; if he wished to express that he was only improving, he would say ah 's betther 'an what ah a'e been, and he might add bud ah's nobbut badly yit.
Let us take an imaginary case which will illustrate a few of these medical words and phrases.
The mother says to her neighbour, Oor Joe's leeaked a bad
leeak of a lang whahl; and they agree that the doctor should
be sent for. He comes; and they explain that poor Joe catch'd
cau'd t' last backend; it was perhaps a varry blethery
tahm, an' t' lad teeak neea tent of hissen; the cold clap'd
on tiv his chist and he has nivver fair kested it yit,
he mended a bit aboot Kessmas, and then after a
week or two he had some sad backenins. The doctor then
asks a few questions as to how the patient is affected, and the
mother describes that at t'fost end the lad was nobbut
a bit hoarst, but that he rapidly warsened till at
length he was fair closed up. After that, she might go
on to say, he had some despert bad coughin' bouts; that
he was bedfast for a fo't-nith, and that the cough tewed
him seea whahl he couldn't git neea rust neeaways. This went
on till the unfortunate Joe got that waakly an' doddhery whahl
he could hardlins trail hissen across t' chaam'r fleear; at
times he would be full of pain, perhaps his back would wark
whahl he didn't knaw hoo ti bahd; they tried oils and all
manner of stuff to try to dill the pain when it
was on him, but it was all ti neea use. The mother would
perhaps relate that she herself had been poorly with nursing her
son, and had got a cough; but she did not think the complaint
was smitting, but that, what with one thing or another,
she was quiet stall'd oot, that she had now gotten ti
t' far end, and send for the Doctor she must; and when he
had come and examined her son she might ask him if he thought
the illness had not sadly fleeced the invalid, and, if
the case was serious, whether he thought there was still onny
mends for him. He takes the doctor's medicine, and for a time
possibly there is no visible improvement, he nowther dees nor
dows, or he maks poorly oot; but after a time a change
takes place; after several bottles of stuff another is sent which
caps him, and in the end he nips aboot as cobby as owt.
A severe pain would not be said to be hard to bear, but bad ti bahd. If one feels shivery and shaky, as if some poisonous matter had got into one's very bones and blood, we sometimes say that we are all iv a atterill. Many other examples under this head might be quoted, but these must suffice.
In no department does the dialect retain such a strong hold as in agricultural terms. Whether we look at the fields, the plants, tools, implements, work, men, horses, cattle, sheep, poultry, carts, harvest, corn, the dairy, or anything else connected with the farm, we find any number of quaint words and phrases, most of which have been handed down from father to son through many long year-hundreds.
Let us walk through t' staggarth yat and take our stand there for a moment. What do we see? There lies before us the good au'd swath which is used for t' coo-pastur; beyond on one side is another swath-garth which has just been mucked ower wi good manishment preparatory for hay-tahm, and in hope of a good fog afterwards; on the left hand is t' au'd twenty yacker liggin i faugh, in which two ploughs are now at work, and being strongish land and hot weather the horses are weeantly tew'd; but it is now lowsin tahm, and t' hames and barfams will shortly be hung up till next morning, when the horses will again be yoked. There on the ground lie the gearing and swingle-trees, and hard by is an old harrow with its bulls brokken.
At the far-end of the field is Ned, yan o' t' daytal men, liggin a hedge; although gallick-handed be is a don hand at t' job. Not far off is his young son coming home after flaayin' creeaks all day long, while his still younger brother has been tentin' t' coos it' looans. The hedges, whether 'laid' in the ordinary way, or whether in stake an' yether, all look neat, and the cam-sides are well cleaned. But we must take a look at the dairy, and on our way back through the staggarth we see some nice cletches of chickens picking away at the remains of some hinder-ends and caff. The dairy is well kept, with its cream pankins, siles, briggs, skeels, piggins, and all the rest of it, though now-a-days skeels and piggins have given place to cans of a different sort. Perhaps one of the cows has just cau'ven and there are some jars of beeas'lins with which to make puddings for the household. The newly-made butter is well blaked, but some of the cream looks a bit bratty.
No better Yorkshire was spoken than in the hayfield or harvest-field before machinery was as much used as it is now. How delightful on the early morning in July to hear the music of the strickle against the old leea; in other words, the sharpening - sharping as we call it - of the scythe, made by three or four stalwart mowers. The gess as it lay i sweeath caught the rays of the rising sun, which, aided by the spreedin of the hay makers, quickly did its work; then some of the hands would put in to pave the way for the rakers, and thus the hay in time was got into windrow preparatory to being put into cock or pike; or, if the weather happens to be wankle, all the hands are at work to get the partly-made hay off t' grunnd and into lap-cock, which was a sort of twisted armful lightly laid on the ground.
If a 'foreigner' were to go about among the men, he might catch such words as limmers, leading, shelvins, skell up, teeam, bleck, thill-horse, or snubbits, and perhaps he might not be much the wiser. The hales or steer-tree of a plough might even sound strange to him, if he happened to get upon that subject.
Possibly one field on the farm is nowt bud reins an geirs, another is seeavy or sumpy, or others full of bull fronts, brassics, ketlocks, kelks, or weeds of some kind or other, which require hand-lukin at times.
If, at another time of the year, the stranger were to look for a moment towards the stacks, he might see here on the ground a dess or two of hay ready to be put into the heck, or there, a bottle of straw for bedding. Away in a grip in one of the fields the hind sees yan o' t' yows rigg-welted, and quickly sets her on her feet again: he looks at her with some interest, for it is near clippin tahm; he finds that the hogs will require well weshing ti year, for there's a vast o' cotty 'uns amang 'em.
Many old words keep dropping out of use in the speech of the country folk, but perhaps not quite so rapidly as some suppose. The dialect is not quite dead yet. Let us take as a test of this the Glossary at the end of vol. ii. of Marshall's Rural Economy of Yorkshire, 2nd edition, 1796. This work concerns the North and East Ridings, so that it is well suited for our purpose.
A correspondent from the neighbourhood of Kirby Moorside, whose memory ranges over the past forty years, has given me, firstly, a list of those words which during that period (1851 - 1891) he does not remember ever to have heard at all, and secondly those which have become obsolete in his district during the same interval. It must be borne in mind that this is but a rough-and-ready test, and only applies to a very limited area.

It is possible that others might be added to these, for in certain cases, unless special enquiry were made, they might easily escape notice. The word aiger would hardly be heard except on a tidal river, but the cry wahr aiger raised by the boatmen when the approaching tidal wave is visible, is still common on the lower part of the river Ouse.
Other of the words quoted may retain their hold in other parts, e. g. doven, another form of dove (to slumber), is still heard in the Wold country, and in one locality in the East Riding nowttherer, another form of nowtherd, is also in use.
