This year UCAR and NCAR jointly celebrate their 35th anniversary. It was in June 1960 that the national center was established in Boulder, Colorado, with UCAR as its managing body. The event came as a result of the efforts of 14 universities that saw a need for the kind of core research programs and facilities that no single institution could fund or operate. UCAR now has 61 member universities, 18 academic affiliates, and 28 international affiliates, and oversees a dozen programs as well as NCAR. It encompasses the original, I.M. Pei-designed Mesa Laboratory, the Foothills Laboratory complex in north Boulder, and the Research Aviation Facility at Jefferson County Airport (Jeffco) near Broomfield, Colorado.
The first and main event of the anniversary year is an open house at all three Colorado locations on 22 April. The date was chosen to make it a triple celebration including the 25th anniversary of Earth Day and the beginning of National Science and Technology Week (NSTW).
In addition to the permanent educational exhibits at the Mesa Laboratory, the various NCAR divisions and UCAR programs will either open their facilities for public tours and demonstrations or set up special exhibits. Field instruments and mobile laboratories will be on display outside the buildings; at Jeffco, the public can see the NSF/NCAR research aircraft fleet: the WB-57F twin jet; the large-capacity, four-engine Lockheed EC-130Q turboprop; the Beechcraft King Air research aircraft; and a Schweizer SGS 2-32 sailplane.
Special exhibits will include a multimedia, interactive demonstration and display of climate modeling with supercomputers; computerized and pictorial displays depicting regional weather and tornadic thunderstorms; working versions of satellite instruments; and interactive CD-ROM modules for training weather forecasters. There will be tours and visits to the computer-controlled Frost Phytotron greenhouse; laser laboratories; the machine shop where scientific instruments are built; and the Aviation Weather Development Laboratory, which develops systems for detecting and warning of weather hazards at airports.
The weekend's celebrations are not limited to Boulder and Broomfield. A grant from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District will make the NSTW kickoff a regional event involving NCAR, the Denver Museum of Natural History, and the Collage Children's Museum in Boulder. Even to call it regional is to confine the event unduly, because the organizers of the open house have included the entire UCAR community. It's more like a "tour of homes," than an open house. The Boulder community is familiar with NCAR and what it does, says open house co-chair Ben Domenico. But, he believes, it is not so well known that NCAR's parent organization, UCAR, is really a worldwide network of universities. In addition to UCAR's members and affiliates, some UCAR programs have their own university connections. Unidata, for example, serves 130 universities with real-time weather data; UNAVCO, which provides equipment and support to researchers using the Global Positioning System anywhere in the world, is itself a consortium of 61 universities.
Accordingly, Unidata's contribution to the open house has been to coordinate a university exhibit in which visitors can use computer terminals equipped with World Wide Web browsers such as Mosaic and Netscape to visit various university home pages. Most universities with UCAR connections have their own home pages on the Web, and many of these include weather data, forecasts, and pictures. Open house planners encouraged the universities to create special pages commemorating the historical theme. In the main seminar rooms at both Boulder sites, visitors can see live weather updates by professors at four universities (the Universities of Illinois and Michigan, Florida State University, and Plymouth State University) through a software package called CU-SeeMe that provides low-cost videoconferencing over the Internet.
There are also efforts to extend anniversary activities in time as well as space. Anyone with Mosaic or Netscape Web access will still be able to visit the university Web documents after the open house ends. In addition, thanks to special funding from NSF, two prototype weather and climate kiosks will be unveiled, one at the Mesa Laboratory and one at the natural history museum. These will deliver interactive images, data, and other information resources from the UCAR community. They are designed to enhance the educational impact of an upcoming IMAX film, "Stormchasers," scheduled to debut at 14 museums this fall. The idea, says NCAR exhibits coordinator Steve Davis, is to provide the public and schools with materials for further study of the atmospheric sciences. "The question is, `what does the public want to know?'" The prototypes will help answer this question through audience testing and survey evaluation throughout the spring and summer.
Another continuing event is a series of public LASERS (Learning About Science Easily and Readily) lectures. In the first, NCAR director Robert Serafin will describe the history of atmospheric observations. Other speakers scheduled for later dates are UCAR president Richard Anthes, William Chameides of the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Eric Barron of the Pennsylvania State University.

Former director of accountancy practice guilty of theft
Media Release
12 December 2012
Former director of accountancy practice guilty of theft
Former director of Hobbs Rose Limited (Hobbs Rose), Gary Malcolm Hobbs (45), has been found guilty by a jury in the Hamilton District Court on 14 criminal charges laid by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in November 2011.
The charges, of theft by a person in a special relationship, against Mr Hobbs, related to funds totalling over $320,000.
At the time of the theft, Mr Hobbs was a director of Hobbs Rose, an accountancy firm based in Te Awamutu. The SFO investigation concluded that Mr Hobbs stole funds from two of his clients' bank accounts and used those funds in part for the benefit of his own accountancy firm and for another company of which Mr Hobbs was also a Director, South American Tobacco Group NZ Limited.
Following the verdict, Acting Chief Executive for the SFO, Simon McArley, explained the importance the Office placed on this prosecution, "As a trusted advisor, Mr Hobbs let his clients down. This not only impacted directly on them but at a local level it undermines the good faith that people should be able to place in professional services such as chartered accountants."
Mr Hobbs was a qualified chartered accountant and a member of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA). Following an NZICA investigation into Hobbs Rose and allegations of client funds being mismanaged, Mr Hobbs' NZICA membership was cancelled in 2010 and his name removed permanently from the NZICA register of members.
A sentencing date has been set for 15 February 2013.

Residents in the Greater Killeen area can expect rain throughout the week, with a 40 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms today, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Meteorologist Jennifer Dunn said flooding is possible with the rain and commuters should exercise caution.
"Heavy rain not only reduces visibility when driving, but it can also produce ponding of water on roadways," Dunn said. "Slow down on wet roads, especially during periods of rain. Motorists should leave extra distance between themselves and other cars in case of hydroplaning. Also, because it may take longer to get somewhere, allow more commute time."
Hilary Shine, Killeen spokeswoman, said several areas in the city are prone to high water, including Mustang Drive, Stallion Drive, the U.S. Highway 190 access road at Imperial Drive, W.S. Young Drive at Terrace Drive, Veterans Memorial Boulevard at 10th Street, Florence Road between Mary Jane Drive and Du Broc Drive and Illinois Avenue at Becker Drive.
"I would caution motorists that because of the tremendous amount of road construction all over the city, areas could experience high water that have not in the past," she said. "It is best to use caution and slow down in the event of heavy rain."
Rain chances remain throughout the day Wednesday with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day and a 20 percent chance at night. The chance of rain drops slightly to 20 percent Thursday and to 20 percent Friday.
Dunn said temperatures will be below normal due to the rain, but it will still be warm and humid with the highs staying around the upper 80s and the lows in the lower 70s.
The sun will return over the weekend with the high of 91 degrees for Saturday and a high near 92 for Sunday.
Dunn said despite all of the rain this month, Killeen is still 2 1/3 inches below normal for the year.
As of this morning, Stillhouse Hollow Lake was 76.8 percent full at 612.9 feet. Belton Lake was 74 percent full at 585.5 feet.

UK Northern Lights 'spectacular'
The Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights - has been giving rare and spectacular displays over parts of the UK, as far south as Essex.
The lights have been clearly visible off the east coast, in Norfolk, as well as the west coast, in South Wales.
The Northern Lights appear as shimmering waves of light when atoms in the Earth's high-altitude atmosphere collide with energetic charged particles from the sun.
Astronomer Mark Thompson says seeing the Aurora Borealis in the UK was "a rare treat".

It's amazing what a little reconciliation can do for generating some public appearances. Although all the stories about Chris Brown partying up the weekend with Khloe Kardashian were not true, at least it did make Khloe feel like people actually cared about her and made her newsworthy even for five minutes. It also showed that although she might not be drinking and driving, she certainly has not cut back on her drinking.
But, what the weekend did show is that Rihanna's entire family is behind her decision to get back with Chris. I saw an interview with her father over the weekend and he was totally supportive of her decision and thinks she is doing the right thing. All I have to say is that if some guy ever beat my daughter like that, there would be no reconciliation and the guy might not even be alive.
Rihanna's dad obviously doesn't care that much about his daughter. He doesn't. You might disagree with me and say he cares and that he is just being supportive, but he doesn't care. Let's say that if when Rihanna was 10 years old the family dog attacked her and made her face look like that, would the family rid themselves of the dog? In Rihanna's family it looks like the answer is no.
Chris Brown on the other hand seems to be enjoying the fact that now he can show his face in public and have fun and do what he wants because for the first time since all of this happened he showed his face and further confirmed the fact that he is an idiot, by riding a jet ski with a wool cap on. Meanwhile, Rihanna had to stay inside because, really, there is no point in her ever coming out again because she has ruined her career forever and given Chris his career back.

HE has worked on renewable energy projects for the aquatic centre at the Beijing Olympics and the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Now Andy Edwards has been appointed as renewable energy manager for a Bolton green energy firm.
Mr Edwards, who has also worked on the Echo Arena in Liverpool, is the latest recruit for BHE Renewables, based at Wilkinson house, in Radcliffe Road.
The 37-year-old will develop the firm's services and products for commercial and domestic customers in Bolton, the North West and across the UK.
He said: "Despite the recent reduction in the government incentive, known as the feed-in tariff, the cost of solar panels has also fallen significantly, meaning that solar panels for households are still a great investment.
"In fact, the average householder can get up to 14 per cent return on their investment which is much more than they get from putting their money into an ISA or a savings account."
BHE Renewables, which was set up last year, supplies and installs "green" equipment such as air and ground source heat pumps, solar panels, solar thermal, combined heating and power units and mini wind units.
The firm, which employs 80 staff, is part of BHE Services (Bolton) Ltd, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.
BHE Services is best known for its gas maintenance contract with Wigan and Leigh Housing, but it also carries out gas maintenance for domestic and commercial customers in Bolton and Wigan.
Mr Edwards, who lives in Southport, has also worked on numerous renewable energy installations for social housing projects and commercial properties including farms, warehouses and solar farms.
In his new role, he will be responsible for all incoming inquiries as well as carrying out surveys and managing installations of equipment.
BHE Services director Paul Wilkinson, director of BHE Services (Bolton) Ltd, claims an investment of £85,000 for a 50KW system of solar panels can generate an income and savings of £467,500 over 25 years, assuming an annual inflation rate of three per cent and energy price rises of seven per cent.

Ryan Halligan was 13 years old when he awoke early the morning of October 7, 2003, and hanged himself in the bathroom of his Vermont home.
By outward appearance, Ryan was a happy kid, always smiling. But beneath the surface, Ryan was in emotional turmoil - the result of relentless bullying, online and in person.
Almost a decade later, Ryan's father, John, curses himself for failing to see his son's pain, and has dedicated his life to ensuring that other parents don't make the same mistake.
Since 2004, Halligan has traveled across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Colombia to share Ryan's story with parents and students. On Dec. 4, he visited Fernwood Avenue Middle School in Egg Harbor Township for a presentation to parents from throughout the district.
Shanise Callahan, whose daughter Morgan Mohammed is in seventh grade at Fernwood, attended the talk, finding it poignant and informative.
"This was great, this was really great," Callahan said. "My heart goes out to the family, but it's good that he can share and help another family."
Following Ryan's death, John began a search to uncover the reason for his son's suicide. In the absence of a note, John took to the computer on which his son had spent so many seemingly harmless hours in the summer before his suicide, unraveling a web of harassment and cyberbullying by Ryan's peers.
Halligan, an engineer by trade and self-professed computer geek, had thought that keeping his son away from strangers online would keep him safe - but rather than an anonymous predator, it was Ryan's friends and classmates who had done the damage.
In his talk, Halligan shared several ways for parents to shield their kids from such attacks, such as installing monitoring software, encouraging open communication between parent and child, and putting limits on kids' digital lives.
But while taking precautions against bullying is important, Halligan said, it's understanding what bullying is and the mechanism behind it that will save the most lives.
The idea that bullying stems from a conflict between a bully and their victim, Halligan said, is flawed. Instead, it's seeking approval from a third party - the audience or bystander - at the expense of others that drives the problem.
Identifying these actors and encouraging the bystanders to stand up against bullying, Halligan said, is key to stopping the cycle.
"I believe every school I step into, the vast majority of kids are good kids, they're not bad kids, but the problem is with peer pressure, they feel it's safer to hide behind the person doing the bullying than to step out in front of them," Halligan said.
Halligan's appearance at the school was the culmination of more than a year of work by Alder Avenue Middle School Assistant Principal Kevin Fricke, who saw Halligan talk at a convention two years ago and thought his message would be valuable for his students.
Halligan visited students at Alder and Fernwood in early November, sharing a different version of Ryan's story, which Fricke said was followed by an outpouring of understanding and apology between his students.
While the fight against bullying is a hard one, it's a battle that the Egg Harbor Township school district and the state of New Jersey are committed to for the long haul, Fricke said, and presentations such as Halligan's will go far in this effort.
"I want all parents and all kids to know, learn from his mistakes, go for help, do the right thing, go for answers, and for kids to know hope is not lost," Fricke said. "A lot of times kids can only see what's right in front of them, but there's so much they can look past to get by those issues. If they just ask for help, they'll overcome them."

Western students assist Foothills Industries of Marion in moving to a new location.
CULLOWHEE In their careers, professional project managers can expect to work on some pretty big problems ranging from cleanup operations after a devastating hurricane to information technology solutions for software snags that can shut down a company.
Before they face such extreme situations on the job, students need to practice their problem-solving, leadership and planning skills, said Phil Sanger, associate professor of engineering and director of the Center for Integrated Technologies at Western Carolina University. That's why Sanger asked 25 students in his project management class to help Foothills Industries of Marion move to a new location.
As part of Western's ongoing outreach to businesses throughout the region, I was touring Foothills Industries to see if they needed engineering assistance. When we started talking about their upcoming move, I knew my project management class could help the company and gain experience for themselves at the same time, Sanger said. We were pleased to have a complex project that will benefit the community and save money for our client.
Foothills Industries is a nonprofit corporation that employs and serves people with disabilities. The workers manufacture and package operating room surgical drapes for use by the medical industry. After 28 years at the 25,000-square-foot location on Lukin Street , the organization needed to move its equipment and staff to new space that's nearly twice as big in McDowell County 's certified industrial park on Rockwell Drive.
After consulting with Joy Shuford, Foothills' chief executive officer, Sanger's students broke down the move into manageable pieces and plotted the sequence of tasks and priorities. On a brisk November weekend, they rolled up their sleeves to pitch in and see how much they could get done, according to their detailed plan.
We were extremely pleased with the volume of furniture and equipment that was moved on the first Saturday, Shuford said. I had anticipated that work would consume two days but because of the good planning and efforts of all, we exceeded all our expectations.
Sanger says he and his crew of students went back again the following Saturday to put the finishing touches on the job. The students finished the project ahead of schedule and the client was satisfied, Sanger said. That's a great start for their engineering careers.

AVMA details its international work
About 2 percent of AVMA expenses and income will involve international activities during 2012, according to a report given to AVMA leaders in November. Such activities consumed about 2.5 percent of the budget in 2011, partly because of World Veterinary Year, and brought in about 1.9 percent of income. The report was developed because of concerns over whether the AVMA was spending appropriate resources on global activities compared with domestic ones.
Board approves economic, leadership actions
The 2012 AVMA survey of pet owners will expand to include questions on demand for veterinary services and owners' thoughts and behaviors. AVMA leaders will also meet with college deans on economic issues. In November, the AVMA Executive Board approved those actions and acted to continue a recent graduate leadership program and give companies clearer guidance on AVMA advertising policy.

Shocker! Andy Rooney Doesn't Understand Lady Gaga
Dear God, why hasn't CBS forced Andy Rooney to retire? My favorite — and by favorite, I mean least favorite, but in a painfully amusing way — segment on "60 Minutes" is when Andy Rooney is given the floor to cantankerously complain about the things that irritate him. Whether it's the stupid mail and presents sent to him by fans (seriously, he complains about free gifts), spam, or some turn-of-phrase that Andy finds particularly annoying, Rooney is always pissed off about something. The thorn in his side this weekend? Popular music! Specifically, why he hasn't heard of all the musical artists that are currently on the Billboard charts! Why has he, a normal, average American, never heard of this Justin Bieber, or that Lady Gaga, or some fella named Usher? I don't really get Rooney's point other than he's out of touch because he's incredibly old, but this segment was all sorts of hand-meet-forehead. Can he go back to complaining about Facebook now?

|Sales tax rebate increase back in double figures
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
Dec. 11, 2005 -- Retail sales in Hopkins County continued on the upswing in October, according to sales tax figures released Friday by the state comptroller's office.
Sulphur Springs' sales tax increase was back into the double figures with a gain of 10.47 percent over December of 2004. The amount of sales tax generated for the city totaled $304,105.13 bringing the amount collected by the city this year to $3,777,622.10 an overall increase of 3.25 percent over 2004.
November state sales tax collections and December sales tax allocations to local governments mainly represent sales that occurred in October.
Como continues to be in the spotlight with an increase of more than 104 percent over December of 2004. Como's check in the amount of $2,386, brings the year to date total of sales tax collected to $29,619.94, an increase of almost 64 percent over last year.
Cumby, with a 75 percent increase from one year ago, continues to benefit from the legalization of alcoholic beverage sales. Cumby's check of $8,053 this month brings the sales tax revenue total to $53,231.20 for the year, an increase of almost 65 percent from the calendar year 2004. Cumby's sales tax rate also increased from 1 percent to 1.5 percent at the beginning of this year, however, accounting for some of that gain.
Elsewhere in Northeast Texas, Greenville was one of the few cities to show a decrease in retail sales activity, albeit a slight one. Greenville's December sales tax check for more than $378,000 was down 0.29 percent from one year ago. For the year overall, however, Greenville's sales tax rebates are up 3.8 percent.
Mount Pleasant saw 0.93 percent growth in retail sales for the month. For all of 2005, sales taxes have decreased just less than half a percent compared to 2004.
Mount Vernon, however, saw a more than 30 percent increase over last December with a sales tax check amount of $41,181. Retail growth in Franklin County this year is more than 20 percent.
In total dollars received, Paris continues to lead the area with a check for more than $473,550 which reflects an increase of more than 17 percent from a year ago.

Why I am 'Running' into the New Year
It's that time of year again – people start thinking about what they can improve on in the New Year; and even before the holiday baked goods hit the table, health and fitness are usually top of mind.
As a good friend of mine coined, I have been "r-alking" (run-walking) for a couple of years now. It started by walking the 2014 Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 5K with a good friend. I then happily increased my pace and even ran a few other races including the 2014 South Ottawa Race Day and the 2K Family Run at Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend this year.
The distances were short and the competitions gentle, but considering a few years ago I didn't run at all, each completed race felt great… and I still ran those races faster than anyone sitting on their couch at home.
I have learned that I enjoy running. I think this is partly due in fact to my running companion, my (almost) 4-year-old Australian Shepherd. She loves to keep me going by biting at her leash when I try to walk. She would much rather run and I am better off because of it (best trainer ever!).
So, why am I running into the new year? Because I want to run further, faster. Why? Because life is short and 2015 showed me that in a few ways. We get one life. We don't get this time back… so I might as well run with it while I can!
And to prove to myself that I CAN DO IT, I signed up for the 2016 Ottawa Race Weekend 10K in May. I am also proud to be a member of the #RunOttawa2016 #TeamAwesome! Who are we? Team Awesome is a group of runners, such as myself, who are taking part in the 2016 Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend who will be sharing their personal journeys on their blog and on social media. We'll also be cheerleading anyone and everyone who participates in the races!
So, I am running into the new year with a solid, achievable fitness goal. Run 10K. Run it well. I'll be sharing my progress here, so I hope you'll join me in the journey by reading the blog and my tweets. It starts with the Richmond Road Races on Saturday, January 17th. I signed up for the 5K because I CAN! And maybe, just maybe, it will inspire you enough to join me at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend May 28 to 29, 2016…. because YOU CAN too. 🙂

The race for governor: Corbett's troubles
"I'll take 'Political train wrecks' for $400, Alex."
"Those who don't think Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is in trouble."
"Who is 'nobody'?"
These are difficult (if not panicked) days for the Republican incumbent seeking re-election next year. The hallmark of his legislative agenda — privatizing liquor — couldn't make it through the Republican-controlled Legislature (not even a watered-down version).
A major tax increase on the wholesale price of gasoline and diesel fuel was euphemized when it should have been euthanized.
Pension reform? Ha! Tick-tick-tick continues the clock counting down the time-bomb's detonation.
A light bulb went off a few months ago at Corbett headquarters (that after repeated pulls on the chain yielded no light and somebody discovered that the bulb needed to be screwed in). There's been a wholesale shake-up of his staff. Whether they are astute enough to install tone-deaf defeaters and a bully pulpit remains to be seen.
But just about every Democrat (and his brother, sister, cousin and third half-cousin twice removed by marriage) is ready to challenge Mr. Corbett. There's so much blood in the water that even former state Auditor General Jack Wagner has visions of easy pickin's and is toying with a run.
There are whispers anew of a GOP primary challenge (though that's about as likely as the Legislature cutting its size or seeing a salamander surfing on the Susquehanna).
Can this governorship be saved? Perhaps the better question is if it should be saved.

Beijing (AFP) Nov 6, 2009
Chinese President Hu Jintao said his nation supported the peaceful use of outer space Friday, days after his air force commander sparked concerns by saying an arms race in space was inevitable.
Hu's comments, which echoed those made the day before by a foreign ministry spokesman, appeared to hammer home the message that Beijing has not abandoned its long-held opposition to the weaponisation of space.
"China will unswervingly uphold a national defence policy that is defensive in nature, and will never seek military expansion and an arms race," Xinhua news agency quoted Hu as telling visiting foreign air force delegations.
"China will ... support the peaceful development of outer space and actively participate in cooperation on global space security," he said at the ceremony marking the 60th birthday of the country's air force.
Hu's remarks appeared to be aimed at cooling down rhetoric by the air force commander, Xu Qiliang, who told the state press that it was imperative for China's air force to develop offensive and defensive operations in outer space.
"As far as the revolution in military affairs is concerned, the competition between military forces is moving towards outer space... this is a historical inevitability and a development that cannot be turned back," Xu told the People's Liberation Army Daily.
"The PLA air force must establish in a timely manner the concepts of space security, space interests and space development.
"We must build an outer space force that conforms with the needs of our nation's development (and) the demands of the development of the space age."
Xu, in a speech to the foreign military delegations on Friday, did not back down from his earlier statements, but instead called for a global concept on space security based on the UN Charter.
"We call for the common establishment of a new concept of space security. Outer space is commonly shared by mankind and should be peaceful," he said.
"If we let space become the new battlefield, then outer space will become a dangerous window hanging over the heads of mankind.
"No single country can disregard this and no country can resist this threat on its own," Xu said, in an apparent veiled reference to the United States.
Xu said China would "unswervingly advance the modernisation of its air force," with a focus on information technology and capabilities aimed at fighting multiple security threats.
"We will not be warlike, nor do we forget or fear war," Xu said.
"But as the capabilities of air forces increase in the future, they will become more destructive in times of war and if not used wisely will have disastrous effects on mankind, civilisation and ourselves."

China disavows general's comments on space militarisation
Beijing (AFP) Nov 5, 2009
China on Thursday denied it would ever participate in a space arms race, disavowing comments by a top general who said Chinese armed forces should prepare for the militarisation of outer space. "I want to point out China has all along upheld the peaceful use of outer space. We oppose the weaponisation of outer space or a space arms race," foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu told reporters. ... read more

A Simple Method to Protect Patient and Environment when Using Sandblasting for Intraoral Repair.
Roeters, Joost J.
Abstract: Repair or correction of intraoral restorations can be an alternative to complete replacement. A simple sandblasting device is very effective in producing a micro retentive surface on every restorative material A disadvantage of the technique is the production of an aerosol contaminated with the small, abrasive aluminum-oxide particles. In this article, a simple solution is given to protect the patient and environment against this dust during intraoral reparatory procedures involving sandblasting.

You would think a 46-year-old man would have learned to eat better than Lunchables and Tyson Dino Nuggets but if this list is legit, that's not the case!
It's okay though. We still love you, Kells!

A stunning double from Didier Drogba kept Chelsea's title hopes alive after they came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
The Ivory Coast striker scored two goals in eight minutes after Bacary Sagna had put the Gunners in front.
Drogba's goals stretched Chelsea's unbeaten home league record to 78 games – but more importantly meant they are within touching distance of Manchester United at the top of the table.
Chelsea leapfrogged Arsenal into second place and now sit five points behind Sir Alex Ferguson's side with seven games remaining.
Manchester United have yet to visit Stamford Bridge – and that fixture may have the ultimate say in the destination of the title this season.
Arsenal had been the last team to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in February 2004 – and it looked like a repeat was on the cards when Sagna headed home a corner from Cesc Fabregas in the 59th minute.
Chelsea coach Avram Grant has often been criticised for not being able to beat the top teams but his team's stunning fightback may well have changed that perception once and for all.
The contest was just five minutes old when Michael Ballack tested Manuel Almunia with a free-kick that the Arsenal goalkeeper did well to collect at the foot of his left-hand upright.
But Arsenal, now five games without a win, had their chances too with Robin van Persie twice failing to beat Carlo Cudicini with shots from the edge of the penalty area.
Drogba was struggling to remain in the game in the opening half as he asked for treatment to a thigh problem – and he should have put home side ahead in the 24th minute.
A superb through-ball from captain John Terry put Drogba in the clear – but the ball bounced off his knee into the grateful arms of the waiting Almunia.
Cudicini had to be alert at the opposite end when Ashley Cole's backpass almost found its way into the net.
Chelsea continued to chase a goal and Salomon Kalou should have provided it when a downward header found him unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box five minutes before the interval.
Sadly for Chelsea, Kalou completely missed his kick and the chance went begging.
Ballack then tested Almunia with a stinging volley that the Arsenal goalkeeper did well to save at the foot of his post.
The game sprung into life in the 59th minute when Sagna scored his first goal for Arsenal and put Wenger's side in control.
Fabregas sent his corner arcing towards the near post and Sagna lost his marker Kalou to glance a header into the net.
The goal looked to have put an end to Chelsea's interest in the title race but then Drogba found the kind of form which has made him one of the most feared strikers in Europe.
The Chelsea faithful were already beginning to fear the worst and chanted the name of Grant's predecessor Jose Mourinho – along with 'You don't know what you are doing' before Drogba lifted their ailing spirits.
The striker equalised in the 73rd minute when the ball cannoned back off Frank Lampard into his path on the edge of the penalty area.
Drogba reacted swiftly to drill a low shot beyond Almunia and into the bottom corner to put Chelsea back in the game.
But Drogba was not finished and eight minutes later the powerful striker had secured a remarkable comeback for the Blues with a goal which keeps them very much in the race for the title.
Joe Cole's free-kick fell to the striker eight yards out and he managed to bring the ball under control before despatching a right-foot shot that Almunia could only parry on its way into the net.
Drogba would have completed a sensational hat-trick moments later, only for Almunia to deny him with a superb save at his near post.
The result will give both managers much to think about as the title heads for a thrilling and unpredictable finish.

No more 'random teen hedonism'? Photograph: Channel 4
There's an interesting challenge ahead for Skins. Returning for a second series, there's a limit on how much longer it can survive on its reputation as the brash and ballsy new kid before it has to prove its worth as a returning drama. While it may be too early to say if it's managed to smooth out its inconsistencies and deliver on the promise of the initial concept, one aspect of the show has already managed to come of age - the programme's marketing.
I don't plan to argue that the campaign for the first series was unsuccessful, since it delivered extremely healthy audience figures, but I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking that it was a tad overdone. The fact that Skins was on Thursdays at 10pm last year became something of a running joke amongst everyone I knew. I was told about it every time I watched through the ad break of any programme on Channel 4, usually twice. Every time I opened a newspaper, or logged into MySpace: Skins, Thursdays, 10pm. Every time I watched another programme on E4, there it was, right underneath the on-screen logo: "Brand new Skins, Thursdays 10pm." And just in case you missed that, quite often there'd be a pop-up banner obscuring the programme you'd tuned in to see. It felt more like brainwashing than marketing.
Obviously any broadcaster worth its salt wants to flaunt a programme it's proud of, but while I was in no doubt over when it was on, I still didn't feel like I knew much about the show or the people within it. In the end, the total saturation of the ads irritated me so much that I deliberately refused to watch, out of sheer spite. (And I'm a teen drama junkie, so I really ought to be your easiest target when marketing a show like this: I list Mean Girls in my all time top five movies, and I'm constantly nagging ITV2 about when they're going to start showing Gossip Girl.)
Which is why it's really reassuring to see the drastic change of tone that E4 has adopted when promoting the new series. The trails may still be widespread, but they're quieter, subtler, and placed more sparingly. Instead of endless repeated shots of random teen hedonism, they focus on the show's characters, and the plot threads left hanging from last year's finale. It feels like they're promoting a proper drama rather than trying to generate angry tabloid headlines. In other words, it feels like they've grown up. And if I can retrain my brain to remember that it's now on Mondays at 10pm rather than Thursdays, I might even be persuaded to tune in this time.

The gun fetishists and barrel polishers are out in force, and their exalted leader, Wayne LaPierre went on national television yesterday and showed pretty much what we all know: there can be no cohesive or rational justification for the gun culture we have. After a week of preparation, all he came up with was more guns, more god, and more moralizing bullshit about how our declining social fabric can be cured, with autocracy. And even more guns.
In another forum, a chamber maid posed this steaming pile of rhetorical shit disguised as an honest question:
Quiz time: Which is deadlier, a Baseball bat or a gun?
Yes, folks. That came up in "honest debate". How the fuck do you debate when your opponent opens with something so cartoonish?
How are they going to follow this up? What's more dangerous? A 5 kiloton tactical nuclear weapon, or a 10 oz bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows?
This is the reason you can't have an honest or reasonable debate with a barrel polisher.
For the most part, they are intelligent and emotionally mature enough to realize the inherent moral dilemma in idolizing an instrument of death, yet their desire to possess it overpowers any desire they may have to care about any greater social responsibility.
Any small guilt they may happen to feel over this morally bankrupt choice can be swallowed yet is evinced by the craven stupidity of their arguments in support of their idols. Rather than simply admit to a selfish desire, they construct elaborate false equivalences and use excruciatingly tortured logic in an attempt to turn an all-too-obvious reality into some irreducible fantasy.
Here, "the debater" is obviously laying the ground work for the profoundly, no, obscenely, stupid proposition that baseball bats are more, or at least equivalently, dangerous to "a gun".
Any person that argues that a baseball bat is more or equally dangerous than "a gun" simply cannot be taken seriously. This is a classic demonstration of the fantasy I mentioned above. Forget reality.
News Flash:
22 December, 2012 - Washington, DC (AP)
In a surprise announcement today, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced that weapons researchers had found baseball bats to be such efficient and effective weapons that he'd instructed the United States Army to stop issuing M4s or M16s to troops in preference to Louisville Sluggers. Stock in the Kentucky based sporting goods company skyrocketed in after hours trading on the news that they were being eyed as a takeover target by the nation's top defense contractors.
Yes, people can be killed with a bat. Or a brick. But, it's not efficient, or effective from a energy expenditure standpoint, it's messy and it takes a certain commitment beyond a few ounces of trigger pull. It cannot be denied that making the killing of people more difficult can't help but reduce the occurrence.
This false equivalency is one of the most utilized tools in the nearly empty toolbox that is rational justifications for our gun culture: "any two objects that can be used to accomplish the same task are thus rendered identical in all respects". A brick can be used to kill someone or build a house, so it's deadly but widely used in a good way. Yep. Just like a gun. Or a baseball bat.
At my last garage sale, I was astonished to learn that while I can drive a nail with my 32 oz framing hammer, or with my handy 33 lb bar of gold bullion, nobody would pay $797,017.00 for my hammer.
