I think with experience comes wisdom, and with age, generally, comes experience. With age also USUALLY comes patience, which is a big part of wisdom.
So, usually, yes. But not always.11|00|0

3d model from The Martian
I'm looking for someone who can 3d model the chest piece that Matt Damon wears as Mark Watney in the movie The Martian. I have tons of reference photos and can link you to more resources. If you want to get it ready in Pepakura that would be awesome, but not necessary. Eventually the goal would be for me to make it out of foam and all that fun stuff, because I want to up my cosplay game and start making larger things like armor. Doesn't really matter what program you use as long as I can get it into Pepakura easily. I also don't really have a deadline for it, but I'd like it done before November-ish of 2016. I just want someone who can pay attention to detail and get all of the little nooks and crannies mapped out and accurate.

Because it's neither here or there situation.
I don't have any problem asking out a total stranger, it's really easy since you just met them and there will be no confusion. If they reject you, it's fine cuz you'll never see them again.
Asking out a close friend shouldn't be that hard either. If you're close then you should already know stuff about them, what they like, what they don't, their reactions, etc. so if you "play" it right you could seduce them or flirt with them and see how it's going. Since you're close that means you see each other often and that means plenty of opportunities. You don't even have to "ask them out", in these kinda situations I think it's the best to just go for the kiss or a straight talk. I usually test the waters first and flirt the hell out of it with them, and if they do not reciprocate then well I got my answer, didn't even need to ask anything.
But acquaintance... damn, that's a hard one in my opinion. They're neither stranger or a friend and no matter how you approached them you never know how they will take it. They just might think of it like you just want to become friends, and then you're stuck in the friend-zone. Since you're acquaintances it probably means you're either work or hobby related and it is expected if them to be nice to you. so it can make an awkward mess asking them out or flirting.00|00|0

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was officially returning back to work after 6 wonderful years as a stay at home momma. At that time I didn't know when I would start but I got the call with my start date a few days later.
As I'm sure you can imagine, having to go to work and leave my sick girl was not easy. I have always been there for her when she isn't feeling well and it broke my heart not to be there when was the sickest she has ever been. Luckily, Jesse was able to take off and stay home with her.
As far as the adjustment to this new way of life goes, I think we did pretty well. I feel like we are already getting a routine down and starting to adjust to our new normal. I definitely missed both girls during the day but it made our time together in the evenings that much sweeter. I've been getting in as many snuggles as I can this weekend, too!

This was easy to prepare. My son liked it; however, it just seemed to me to be lacking something. It was a bit rich for a snack cake--better for a regular dessert, but I'd put a peanut butter icing on it.

Hi there,
what are your issues when syncing your calendars/listings with different platforms? Which syncing tools do you use? Why/advantage?
I am using ical between my google calendar and my different platforms, advantage it's free. Important to avoid double booking but it's only synch every two hours
I am considering in the future hostaway or Lodgify if they improve the synch offer they have
I've had the issue of when I open the calendar on one site, it stays blocked on the other site, which then blocks what I opened! (if that makes sense). So make sure you check every calendar regularly whenever you make changes so that it truly opens up your calendar or blocks it.
For me, syncing only works well if you have blank calendars to start. For example - brand new listing that I want to put on VRBo and Airbnb. I export the Airbnb Calendar into Home Away. So any new airbnb bookings automatically block the vrbo calendar. I can now export the vrbo calendar into the airbnb system, so now i have a super messy calendar but it's effectively blocking. I say super messy because I've already imported the airbnb into vrbo, not in reversing that process, the Airbnb bookings are going back into airbnb as extra lines as part of the vrbo export. That's workable but not ideal.
What I want is a program that takes an excel spreadsheet that I use as a calendar, and everytime I get a booking, on whatever platform, it automatically populates the specific fields and then blocks the calendar for those dates on ALL other platforms. I'm looking for a third party option where I'm only buying the calendar technology - I'm not buying a booking/marketing service.
I am still having a problem trying to sync my Tripadvisor and Airbnb calendars.
Hi sylvainbg,
thanks for your reply! We are working on a calendar software with a completely new approach. Hopefully it will help solving many issues. We are looking for beta-version testers. May I ask you to become a tester? Probably We´ll have the beta version ready for testing end October.
Hi Sarah_Warren
Hi hypertokyo
Please provide more information by private message. What platforms, what will you do etc…
I´ll come back to you with further information by end of September.
Hello KiteBnB,
I am here (and all over creation) looking for solutions to the ABB calendar export that is not relaying correctly synced availabilities.
I have an issue with this also. I can sync from Air to TripAdvisor, but not the other way around. I know there is a way using iCalc but it seems waaay to complicated and as I have a really full calendar I think it will be a nightmare. I do also go into TA and manually sync at least once a week, just to be sure.
Thanks for your feedback. It´s priceless for us to know which problems occur.
Thanks for your feedback. The more we know about problems the better we can build our software.
I have the same problem with the exported Airbnb Ical. The Airbnb bookings show up fine, but the ones I have added manually sometimes show, but mostly don't…
I have 10 rental properties.
I book primarily with Airbnb, secondary sites are VRBO and Streamline VRS (which provides a booking link on my company website).
I use iCal links to sync all the calenders
The issues I encounter are:
Reservations arriving through iCal links, arrive as 'blocks' not as real reservations - this is problematic because: A) blocks do not trigger notifications so I must manually switch the block to a reservation to receive notifications
B) Most importantly, a reservation arriving as a block, blocks the whole day, that is an issue for days of check in and check out. i.e. if a guest is checking out at 11AM there's no reason why a whole day should be blocked off.
Often the dates will be misaligned. Often times -yes its inconsistent - an ical block shows up and the check in date is one day early and the the check out date is one day early.
On some occasions the ical blocks arrive as 2 separate reservations i.e. Jon Johny 1/20/17-1/22/17 Jon Johny 1/23/17-1/24/17.
At the moment my system is working at %65 capacity but I'm scared of double booking so I spend a lot of time double checking my calendars not to forget about the extra stress that causes.
Any suggestions?
What I want is a proper booking calendar which takes reservations from multiple sources and does so smoothly so I don't have to worry about double booking. As a bonus, notifications would also be nice.
I am using Host Away. Works perfect for the synch and avoiding double booking.
I'm trying to find out why I'm not getting proper information over to my google calendar. Is this the place to get answers?
Hi guys! Thanks to all of you for your feedback. Your comments are priceless! As you might know we are developing a calendar syncing tool. Our goal is to make syncing as easy and reliable as possible and to take away your pain. Therefore we developed a completely new approach: NO iCal hassle, NO additional/external calendar! We will be launching a beta version in February and I would love to have you guys as beta testers. I´ll be coming back with more information shortly.

text: this is a bunch of garbage. Sorry..For all the money people think real estate agents get just think, the agent is paying for all the marketing. on top of it…agents are not paid for open houses, for driving people around to look at homes…this all comes out of the agents pocket. When you average it out, for most agents, it's not a killing like these turds in New York. The sad fact is that people are going to compare themselves to the new york standards, even when you are living in fargo ND. this an unfair picture of a profession that already gets very little repect. In most markets, agents walk away with $3,000. for well over 100 hours of work. That is $30 an hour. Your landscaper makes more!! Yes, in New York they walk away with, I don't know..$50,000? And we're judging from that?! Well, I guess we can look at a certain NBC anchor and realize that these "journalists" are really the ones just out for the money in the form of ratings. Nice Sensational story based on one narrow market represening a very small portion of our country.


text: Click here to continue 1 / 6 Spawn time presents us with some of the most rewarding — and frustrating — fishing all year. Bass are at their heaviest before and during the spawn, but they can also be hard to find and fickle if you do find 'em. Longtime Elite Series pro Stephen Browning understands this and has a bait on deck for just about any situation he might encounter while chasing bass with breeding on the brain. Here are his five favorite spawntime baits. Photo: B.A.S.S. 2 / 6 1. Z-Man Zinkerz. "I'll use this for all three stages of the spawn. Mostly I'll use it by itself Texas rigged with no weight. I toss it at cruising fish in the prespawn and post; it works well on staging fish that are hanging around cover like stumps, docks, grass and the like. I call those transition fish. During the actual spawn, it also works well Texas rigged with a little Strike King Tour Grade Tungsten sinker. I'll use either 1/4 or 3/8 ounce depending on how thick the grass is, how aggressive the bass are and how deep the water is," he says. Photo: Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse 3 / 6 2. Z-Man Scented Jerk Shadz. "I like this in the prespawn to cover water. It's a very subtle bait with a slow, quivering fall and it's a dead-on imitation of a dying shad," he says. "I'll use it in the 2- to 5-foot range or around docks especially. Docks are good in the prespawn because the water is shallow, and the bass are up there starting to loosen up their eggs." Photo: Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse 4 / 6 3. Koppers LiveTarget Bluegill Wakebait. "This works well around grass, especially if it's new-growth grass. It only dives about a foot deep, so I like it in water that's no deeper than 3 feet when the bass are aggressive," he says. "It's the thing to use when you're looking for that bass of a lifetime, especially in the prespawn. It's a very simple cast-and-retrieve deal, but you can also add short twitches and pops. The best thing is that if you pop it just right, it'll do an about-face and look a follower in the eye, which they can't stand. It gets hammered!" Photo: Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse 5 / 6 4. War Eagle buzzbait. "To me, this is a great postspawn bait that is good for covering lots of water. You can throw it around any cover, be it wood, grass or riprap. I always tip it with a yellow finesse worm. That thing just seems to give it a little extra flair that gets those bigger fish fired up," he says. Photo: Photo courtesy of Tackle Warehouse 6 / 6 5. Koppers LiveTarget Popping Frog. "Again, this is another great postspawn deal. If I feel that the fish aren't super aggressive and may not hit that buzzbait, I go to this," Browning says. "That frog gives me the ability to stop the bait and let it sit. If they're not chasing, that frog sitting there can tantalize them and get a strike that way."

Start checking the winner's box on Monday, April 1st, to see if you've won!
the best vacation i even went on was driving cross country with my husband about 8 years ago. we drove from CA to NYC and took the train home. so much fun! what didn't we eat? we determined that Chicago has the best pizza, neither NYC or Philly has the best cheesecake (CA does–who knew?), and that the best bagels are definitely in NY.
Nothing in the whole wide world compares to a kid's first trip to Disney World. I was in third grade and my parents took me and my two younger sisters. It was magical!
My honeymoon was the best vacation I have ever been on! My husband and I visited Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas. It is a small island but full of wonderful people. We had such a great time and made so many memories. I ate lobster everyday, literally every single way you could possibly consume lobster (fried, baked, poached) I ate it! I can't wait to go back.
My best vacation (so far!) is definitely when I spent a week in Florida last summer. It was my first adult working vacation and the first time I took off more than a long weekend at my job of 3 years. It was AMAZING. I was able to completely shut off digitally (aside from instagram to make everyone jealous) and relax. I traveled alone and my aunt and uncle were gracious enough to be my hosts. I ate amazing home cooked meals as well as some amazing mexican! I had a great balance of relaxing by the pool, seeing some sights and shopping. I can't wait to do it again!
Before I gave birth to my first, my husband surprised me with a trip to your native Oahu. I've never been so surprised. That man! Just the two of us for one week, the last getaway before the lovely complication of children. Food on this trip was the name of the game. I researched restaurants for months before we left. My favorite thing to do was to stop at fruit stands around the island and just pick up crazy-looking fruit and eat it on the spot. Passion fruits! Sigh. We also spent an amazing night at Alan Wong's (have you been? ohhh my!). I still remember everything we ate. Two kids later, we haven't been able to travel alone together since then, but that time together in the sunshine and the rain always puts a smile on my face.
When I was 19, my older sister surprised my mom and myself with a cruise to mexico. We did had such a great time! We sipped through the forest on a zip-line, did lots of shopping and had fun just being with each other. We have 5 brothers, so it was a lot of fun to just have a girls weeks.
My favorite thing that I ate was a ruben sandwich, I had never had one before, and it was so good!
This was the trip that fueled my love of travel, and over the past 10 years I've done much more!
The best vacation I ever went on was in the October of 2007 with a former boyfriend. It was my first trip to Europe and we went to Paris, Romania and Prague. I fell in love with the old architecture in Prague and Romania and the food and beauty of Paris. In Romania we went to a Serbian restaurant and it was my first time ever eating head cheese. I also remember that we were trying to save money in Paris so we bought a loaf of bread, a huge bottle of orange juice and a block of cheese to keep in our hotel fridge for breakfast. the cheese ended up to be terrible and we talked about the stinky cheese for the rest of the trip.
what I wouldn't give to be able to go back to one of these countries sometime soon.
This past summer I had the amazing opportunity as a 21 year old to not just vacation, but live in South America with my most adored friend Heather. Not just being a tourist, but calling Ecuador our home. And most memorable food item?: cuy. Cuy: the Ecuadorean delicacy also known as guinea pig. We sadly had to buy a live wriggling little guinea pig and take it home for our house-mom to kill, keeping us outside for the process. Poor little baby – we apologize for your death but appreciate the amazing memories you gave us sitting around the table as a mix-matched foreign family.
Best vacation I have ever been on would have to be when I took my three kids to visit the family last summer. A few rest stops, gas stations and 8 hours later we were at my parent's house. Got to meet my niece for the first time too. Family dinners of all the favorites were the best!!
The best vacation I have been on was two years on my "familymoon" to Mexico, Instead of taking the traditional honeymoon we opted to take my then 10 year old daughter as well as my sister, and her husband and daughter (they never had a honeymoon) It was amazing for all of to get to spend such quality time together being that we live in different states and to share in the happiness of our recent wedding. We ate way to much, the resort had 9 restaurants and we tried them all, buffets, Mexican, Italian, French, it was all so good!
I just got married on 7/7 and our honeymoon was by far THE BEST one could have asked for – Oceania cruise starting with 3 days in Rome with stops in parts of France and Italy and Spain ending with 3 amazing days in Barcelona
The best vacation I've been on was to Girdwood Alaska in February. My niece was living there and during my trip I got to go to the start of the Iditarod dog sled race in Anchorage, and also got to steer and ride on a dog sled. I love snow and cold weather, so I was very happy to experience it during that season.
I've had quite a few pretty great vacations, but my favorite one of late was a trip to New Orleans with my husband, babymoon-style. We stayed in a nice hotel, went to the best restaurants, and saw everything we wanted to see. Our theory was that it would likely be our last vacation before conception, and we wanted to really be able to do it up right, so we didn't deny ourselves anything. Of course, we were in New Orleans, so the food really was the best part. The best complete meal experience was at Commander's Palace, where everything we ate, from sweetbread appetizers to bread pudding and coffee was spectacular. But the best single dish I ate was the rabbit and dumplings at Cochon….special, to say the least.

July 2, 2008
Long Beach, Calif. - Long Beach State Head Men's Basketball Coach Dan Monson and Athletics Director Vic Cegles announced the 2008-09 schedule for the 49er men's basketball team. The 49ers will tackle one of its most ambitious schedules in school history as they will take on seven teams which advanced to post-season play last year.
Five 2008 NCAA Tournament squads highlight the list as the 49ers tangle with Wisconsin, Brigham Young, Oregon, Temple and Cal State Fullerton, the Big West Tournament champions. The 49ers will also take on 2008 NIT teams in Syracuse and UC Santa Barbara.
Of the 12 non-conference games on the schedule, nine feature teams which had winning records in 2007-08, with five teams winning 20 or more games. The 13th non-league game will take place on February 21 as the 49ers will play host to an ESPNU Bracket Buster game at the Walter Pyramid.
"We know this schedule is a challenge for us," said Monson. "Maybe even a little bit too much for where our program is at right now. But, to get to where we want to go, we need to play teams like this."
The season begins on November 14 as the 49ers hit the road to Provo, Utah to take on BYU. From there they play at Wisconsin on November 16. BYU was 27-8 last season and won the Mountain West regular season title. Wisconsin concluded its season at 31-5, winning the Big 10 regular season and tournament titles. The Badgers lost in the Sweet 16 to Davidson, 73-56.
The home opener, and the first of two games against this opponent, will be on November 22 as the 49ers host Weber State. The Wildcats were 16-14 last year and finished 10-6 in the Big Sky Conference. The 49ers will play at Weber State on December 11. After a quick trip to play Idaho State on November 25, the 49ers return home for two tough contests. They host New Mexico State on November 30 and Pepperdine on December 3. NMSU was 21-14 last year and tied for first in the Western Athletic Conference. They just missed a trip to the NCAA Tournament, as they fell in the WAC final in triple overtime to Boise State. Pepperdine, under the direction of new head coach Tom Asbury, went 11-21 last season.
December 6 sees the 49ers return a game at the University of San Francisco, which begins a three-game road trip. After playing at Weber State on the 11th, the 49ers will head to the east coast to play Syracuse on December 13. The Orange were 21-14 last year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NIT (falling to UMass).
Right before the holidays the 49ers return home playing host to Montana State (Dec. 20) and Temple (Dec. 22) at the Walter Pyramid. The Bobcats were 15-14 last year. Temple (21-13) was a surprise winner of the Atlantic 10 Tournament and advanced to the NCAA's where they fell in the opening round to Michigan State. The calendar year concludes with a game at Oregon on December 29. The Ducks were 18-14 last year and lost to Mississippi State in the first round of the NCAA's.
Conference play begins on January 2nd and 4th as the 49ers host UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly. Five of their first seven league games are at home this season. The final home game of the year will be on February 26 as the 49ers host UC Irvine in a Black and Blue Rivalry Series contest. The Big West Tournament will once again be held at the Anaheim Convention Center, running from March 11th through the 14th.

Barry Goldwater Daisy Ad
January 22, 2012 by staff
Barry Goldwater Daisy Ad, The favourite to win the Republican nomination to run for president, Mitt Romney is suddenly looking a bit vulnerable ahead of today's primary in South Carolina.
In spite of a comfortable lead in the conservative southern state only last week, Mr Romney apparently has lost some ground to his closest rival, Newt Gingrich, the former leader of the House of Representatives.
His problem? If campaign advertisements are to be believed, Mr Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, speaks French and so does John Kerry, a senior Democrat senator, also from Massachusetts.
That was the conclusion of an ad sponsored by Mr Gingrich's campaign and now flooding South Carolina. Entitled The French Connection, the ad seeks to paint Mr Romney as a closet Democrat who "would say anything anything" to appear conservative.
The French Connection is just one of a cascade of so-called attack ads – advertisements that seek to discredit another candidate's record or character – that have featured heavily in the Republican race to run against Barack Obama for the US presidency in November.
Some come directly from the individual campaigns. Some, usually the more extreme, come from super-Pacs – ostensibly unaffiliated political action committees that can spend unlimited sums promoting any candidate or issue they want.
Candidates profess to hate them. In Iowa, Mr Gingrich decried as "unworthy of America" an ad that called into question both his political record and personal life and characterised him as "unable to transform, or even govern, himself".
The ad was so harsh that Mr Romney distanced himself from it, even though it had been paid for by a super-Pac that supports his candidacy.
Millions are spent on attack ads even though there is no evidence they have much effect, according to Lynn Vavreck, an associate professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles. Ms Vavreck has just concluded a project studying political advertisements that finds that their effect is minimal.
"To the extent that these attack ads are working at all, the effect they're having is gone within two to three days of being aired."
However, people tend to learn more about a candidate's position on issues from attack ads than they do from promotional advertising, Ms Vavreck said.
"From the perspective of, are they good for democracy: if you want an electorate that has more information, then, yes, these attack ads are providing that."
Negative campaigning has a long history in America. In 1828, supporters of the incumbent John Quincy Adams tried to paint Andrew Jackson as immoral because he had mistakenly married before his intended spouse had finalised her divorce. Jackson, in turn, accused Adams of using public money for gambling equipment – later revealed to be a chessboard and a pool table. Jackson won the election easily.
Technology ushered in new tools for delivering attack messages. In 1964, an ad for Lyndon B Johnson cut from footage of a small girl picking petals off a daisy to a nuclear explosion to suggest that voting for Barry Goldwater could lead to nuclear war.
In "the aggregate", said Jeffrey Weiss, a Washington-based political consultant and veteran of several Republican campaigns, history suggests negative campaigning works. And attack ads work, he said, because they "define the other guy".

Study in California grassland expands understanding of biodiversity and management of emerging diseases
Credit and Larger Version
On Earth Day, a study of disease dynamics in a California grassland has revealed fundamental principles underlying the spread of pathogens, or disease-causing microbes, among species.
The results, announced today in the journal Nature, have implications for the maintenance of biodiversity and for addressing practical problems related to plant disease.
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, studied the phenomenon of "pathogen spillover" in grassland species on the UC Santa Cruz campus.
They found that the amount of disease present on each species could be predicted by the abundance of its close relatives in the grassland. When there were many individuals of the same or similar species living close together, pathogens spread more quickly.
Perhaps unexpectedly, that in turn promotes biodiversity by creating openings for less common species that are not attacked by these same pathogens.
Link between community structure and individual disease vulnerability
The findings reveal a tight link between the structure of a plant community and the vulnerability of individual species to disease.
"These scientists demonstrate that the relatedness of species in communities is an important predictor of disease prevalence," said Alan Tessier, acting director of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, which funded the research.
The researchers were able to predict which plant species introduced into the grassland would be most strongly affected by naturally-occurring diseases.
Ingrid Parker, an ecologist and evolutionary biologist at UC Santa Cruz and first author of the paper, said the study adds an important new dimension to a longstanding concept in ecology known as the "rare species advantage."
Diseases take greater toll on common species
"The rare species advantage is thought to be a major driver of biodiversity in natural ecosystems," Parker said. "Most pathogens are not host specialists--they can easily move from one species to another. Whether pathogens 'spill over' depends on how closely related other species nearby are.
"Our study shows that it's the structure of the whole community around a species that affects its vulnerability to disease."
Large-scale experiment with 44 plant species
In a large-scale experiment, the researchers introduced 44 plant species from outside California. (The plants were removed before they reproduced.)
The biologists found that species with few close relatives in the grassland escaped disease, while those closely related to many resident species always showed high levels of disease.
The researchers were able to make surprisingly accurate predictions of disease in introduced species based on their phylogenetic, or evolutionary, distance from local species.
"It was kind of shocking how well we were able to predict disease at a local scale," Parker said.
Modeling "PhyloSusceptibility"
To incorporate the phylogenetic distance between species into their predictions of disease dynamics, the researchers used a "PhyloSusceptibility model" developed by scientist Gregory Gilbert at UC Santa Cruz and two other paper co-authors, Roger Magarey and Karl Suiter of North Carolina State University, who work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
The model is based on USDA's global database of fungal pathogens and host plants, and can be used to predict the probability of two species sharing a pathogen.
"If a plant pathogen from Brazil suddenly shows up in southern California, you want to know what plants in California are most likely to be attacked," Gilbert said.
By showing that the PhyloSusceptibility model makes accurate predictions, the results suggest a range of potential applications.
The PhyloSusceptibility model could help avoid disease problems affecting proposed horticultural imports or reforestation projects.
It could also be used in agriculture to design intercropping or rotation systems to decrease crop disease.
Vulnerability of local species to "pathogen spillover"
Imported plants can bring new pathogens and pests into an area. The PhyloSusceptibility model could be used to assess the vulnerability of local species to pathogen spillover from such plant introductions, the scientists say.
While the PhyloSusceptibility model used in this study was based on data for fungal pathogens, Gilbert said the team has also created versions based on data for eight other groups of pests and pathogens, including insects, nematodes, bacteria and viruses.
In addition to Parker, Gilbert, Magarey and Suiter, the co-authors of the study include UC Santa Cruz researchers Megan Saunders, Megan Bontrager, Andrew Weitz and Rebecca Hendricks.
USDA also funded the work.

The Earth's temperature hasn't increased significantly in about 15 years, which wouldn't be big news except global warming extremists had predicted temperatures would soar during that time because of manmade greenhouse-gas emissions.
That forecast would be just another failed hypothesis, except governments around the world used the threatened overheating as an excuse to regulate, tax and subsidize in order to curb greenhouse gases and, of course, to save the Earth.
In 1989 the Miami Herald quoted a U.N. environment official who warned of a "10-year window of opportunity to solve" global warming, because "entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." We know how that turned out.
There are new forecasts today. We're not much more confident about them, but considering how far down the costly road to combating global warming the world has gone, they are worth noting.
Great Britain's heretofore hotbed of global warming alarmism, East Anglia's Climate Research Center, now says there been no meaningful warming since 1997. Indeed, the Earth may even be cooling, according to Britain's Meteorological Office. The Met, as it's called, said we are entering a period of slower solar activity, perhaps as severe as the solar slump from 1645-1715, the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, when Britain's river Thames and Holland's canals froze over.
Warmists may have seen this coming. Five years ago, climate scientist Kevin Trenberth lamented that none of the touted computer models that predicted temperature increases "correspond even remotely to the current observed climate." If temperatures merely stay flat, the difference between real temperatures and what the global warming models predict "will eventually become so great that the whole scientific community will question the current theories," said Duke University scientist Nicola Scafetta, whose specialty is theoretical and applied statistics.
The New York Times reported that "wind and solar companies are telling Congress that they cannot be truly competitive and keep creating jobs without a few more years of government support," but the lobbying "comes at a time when there is little enthusiasm for alternative-energy subsidies in Washington."
Sixteen noteworthy scientists published a statement last week in the Wall Street Journal, pooh-poohing global warming alarmism, assuring the public, "there's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy."

Moore River fire burning out of control
A bushfire is burning out of control near Moore River, north of Perth.
People living along Orange Springs Road, north of Moore River National Park in Beermullah are being told to put their bushfire survival plans into action.
The Department of Conservation and Land Management says people who have decided not to stay and defend their properties should leave now, if the way is clear.
The bushfire is burning in Banksia woodland and is moving north-easterly at 500 metres an hour.
DEC fire crews and Shire of Gingin volunteer bushfire brigades are working on the fire, supported by three water bombing planes and a helicopter.
Orange Springs Road between Brand Highway and Cowalla Road has been closed.
Meanwhile, a fire at Caversham in Perth's north-east has slowed and is no longer threatening homes.
The Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) had earlier issued an emergency warning for the north part of Beechboro and the north western part of Caversham.
The fire is still out of control, but FESA no longer believes it is a direct threat to lives or property.
Four water bombers and dozens of firefighters are battling the blaze.
A fire burning in bush at Parmelia has been contained.
A big fire at Brigadoon, in Perth's north-east, has also been contained and residents have been allowed to return to their homes, but FESA has warned against outdoor activities.

Everybody, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea_Q8C_67jY
The dude in the video is firing a .600 Nitro Express pistol, one of the most powerful handguns in the world. And I say, this guy needs to be banned from coming within twenty metres of ANY other gun.
Here's what the moron did wrong:
- He was holding the damn thing completely wrong - seriously, what kind of [insert exotic insult here] holds a .600 - nay, ANY type of powerful handgun - like that?!
- He didn't bother stiffening/locking his arm before firing, which results in the scene at 0:44.
- Finally, the dick had his LEFT hand over the CYLINDER! That's where all the really hot gas escapes after firing the gun!
Long story short, this idiot was lucky he wasn't hospitalised. People like him need to be labelled a threat to the health and safety of others, as well as their own!

A pastor in Portola Valley, Calif., blessed a crowd of bicycles, scooters and even roller blades on Sunday in an effort to promote community, according to the Silicon Valley Mercury News.
Pastor Mark Goodman-Morris blessed about 50 different wheel-based vehicles at his Valley Presbyterian Church, located outside of San Francisco. He used special water bottles to sprinkle the cyclists and their bikes.
"It's much more of a Catholic thing to bless things," Goodman-Morris said. "There was nothing in any of the Presbyterian literature on how to do a blessing. I have to admit as a Presbyterian pastor it's funny to be blessing bicycles, but it felt really good to bless the bikers."
The group included a wide range of ages, from an 87-year-old to a young girl, who organizers guessed was about 5 years old. She came in a princess dress to have her roller blades blessed.
After the blessings, the group of cyclists went off for a family ride in the area around the church. [mercurynews.com, 4/20/10]
