The Marshall JVM210 is the best of British in so many ways
I can think of nothing wrong with this all tube amp head, it runs off EL34 power tubes and no matter what channel or setting you put it on, this head sounds like any Marshall should. This distortion is thick and punchy yet very controllable, the crunch has a nice edge to it and the clean when played with the built in reverb is warm and has a nice texture.
Marshall have not missed anything with this amp, everything has been thought of, things like 2 volume knobs that you can swap between if you needed to, a pre-amp and a power-amp out at the rear and even an emulated line out for if you wanted to hook it up to a computer to do silent recordings.
If your playing in your bedroom this amp can be played nice and quite, but when you get the to the gig the tubes really come alive and can be obscenely loud.
The 2nd guitarist in my band has had one for years and every time he plays it, it makes me want one, which brings me to a point, if your in a band with 2 guitarists, one of you has to have this amp and the other needs a head with 6L6 tubes in, the two when mixed together sounds amazing.
But is this head any good? Yes, try it and you will want it. Simple as.
Better Than The JCM800

I currently owned a DSL100 and TSL100, which sounded okay compared to the JVM210. I owned a JVM410 for a short while but it sounded noisy, I just could not get used to it. I am still exited over the sound of the 210,I am using the Clean Red and the Lead Green mostly and these selections are based on the JCM800. I am very impressed with the sound and incredible features of the head, the FX loop is much better than the TSL[no volume problems] reverb is great, I'm not even using the loop, this head has plenty of sound choices and the footswitch is very usable. I would give this head a 10, but there is probably a custom, modded head out there that might sound better, I am very content with the JVM210. There doesn't seem to be a muddy sound than that of my previous Marshalls, I was pleasantly surprised, and think Marshall has something very versatile here which I strongly recommend everyone gets their hands on.

Hey Rob, I stumbled onto your page a little while ago (snopes provided me a link to your shaving Cream Can experiment, COOL). I think it is so cool, i like the pranks you have pulled. Well, anyways I thought i would contribute myself into your Height/Weight chart, seeing as you don't have a 5'11" at 140 lbs. Yeah, I am 5'11" and i weigh approx 140 lbs, depending on what part of the term it is (college! GO AUGIE! [augustana college])<- Looks like a calc eqn!. I am sending a pic of myself from when i was In brazil a couple summers ago. I am doing that -I am too lazy to put my backpack down for a decent pose- look. You can use the photo all you want, just dont photoshop any stupid things onto it like a picture of Hello Kitty. Ok, well i guess i should get studying for finals. Keep up the good work with the site. Oh yeah, one more thing, has there been any update on the Buy 2 - Get 1 free prank? I would go check it out myself but unfortunately i am in Illinois have sadly only seen the east coast. Have a Good day!
Photo was taken at the Foz Du Iguacu falls in brazil.
Hello, My name is Stephanie. I am 5'11 and weigh 140 pounds.
I sometimes get teased for being 'too skinny' I felt much better when I saw a man who is same height and weight as me.
Hello! I've been a fan of your website for years, so I feel honored that I may contribute to it! You have a picture of a male at my BMI, but no females. Considering the differences in physique between men and women, I think it's a good idea to include examples of both :)

Jun 16: Memorial Health System Hosts Wine and Microbrew Tasting to Benefit Specialized Services for Victims of Violence
For Immediate Release
June 16, 2008
Memorial Health System, a leading employer and provider of comprehensive health care services for southern Colorado, hosted its 6th Annual SANE/Forensic Nurse Examiner Program Wine and Microbrew Tasting and Silent Auction on Friday, June 13 from 5 to 8 p.m. at The Warehouse. This event drew more than 200 community members interested in a fun evening and supporting an important cause.
Emceed by Brian Bledsoe, KKTV, the event raised an estimated $7,000 to aide Memorial in caring for victims of violence—specialized care by highly trained registered nurses who assess and document injuries, collect forensic evidence, address immediate physical and psychological needs, and provide resources for follow-up care. Memorial Forensic Nurse Examiner Program is also committed to community education and awareness regarding violence.
Highlights of the event included tasting different red and white wines, sampling Laughing Lab beer, a silent auction chock full of popular items—artwork to pet baskets to golf goodies and more, as well as music played by local favorite, Shadow Mountain Band.
Memorial Health System Forensic Nurse Examiner Program sees nearly 400 cases per year; however, rape is the most under reported felony (only about 16 to 20 percent of cases are reported and treated). The event proceeds will help increase community awareness around violence, as well as support the specialized training requirements needed for registered nurses to practice as forensic nurse examiners.
Memorial Health System Forensic Nurse Examiner program was founded in 1995 as the first of its kind in Colorado. Still the only FNE program in El Paso and Teller counties, it has also become a model program for other hospitals throughout the state.
For more information, please contact Memorial Health System's Public Relations Office at (719) 365-5235.

yes the store 3948 is closing the 15 December 2013 why BEFORE the end of the holidays (when the most money is to be made) no one will ever know.
Hi, cheyanna. Welcome to the MyKmart Community!
The initial news coverage was inaccurate. The Chicago Tribune corrected the story. Round Lake Kmart is looking for retailers who will share the space with the Kmart store that will continue to operate there.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to reply with any additional questions!

Shoebox: Painted Light Bulbs, Polymer Clay, Recycled Crib Plant Bench
Carol Duvall shares a few projects from the shoebox including a sock monkey light bulb and a recycled crib bench.

There were a few more laughs in the Shoebox today, when I pulled out the Carol Duvall light bulb sent in by Wilda Sensery of Sebring, Fla. It was a burned-out Carol Duvall at that! Wilda obviously paints a lot of burned-out bulbs, because she sent in a photograph showing many, many of them all lined up. Also for our perusal was a Sock Monkey light bulb, to which she had even added legs and paws.
Anna Justice of Charles Town, W.Va., wrote a lovely letter about her enjoyment of crafting, but it was her recent conversion into a polymer clay crafter that we found especially interesting. Anna said that she had always been involved in rubber stamping and scrapbooking and was very happy there. She also considered polymer clay too difficult to work with. She did, that is, until one day when her 11-year-old son saw a segment on making mosaics with polymer clay. He was so enthusiastic that she got some clay and the two of them spend an entire day playing. Anna wrote that they then went on the HGTV website and found some more polymer clay projects and she sent in a picture of her sunflower light switch plate, which she said was her very first project. It was terrific looking. She also wrote that it would not be her last.
Luci Nation from Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., sent in some photographs of a very attractive and clever plant stand bench that she made from crib railings that she had found by the side of the road. She might not have thought of such a thing, but had seen the segment on the show where a guest had made a bench out of a baby bed headboard and footboard. Luci figured if a bench could be made from those parts of a crib, she could certainly make a bench from the railings. And she did. And she filled it with plants and sent us a photograph. It looked quite wonderful.

Watermelon Agua Fresca Mimosas
I keep reading things all over the internet about it being the end of summer. Well, from where I sit, with broken air conditioning that is blowing ineffectually into my still-sweltering apartment, and a weather forecast that says it's going to be in the upper 80′s-lower 90′s all week, it still feels like we're smack dab in the middle of summer to me.
Now that we're agreed that we still have weeks of summer left to go, let's discuss how we'll be cooling down. I suggest this watermelon-and-champagne concoction that could alternatively be called a spritzer or a sparkling cocktail, but I've decided to call an agua fresca mimosa. Fizzy and pink and cold cold cold, I would drink this every day if I could without being overly boozed up at the workplace.
- 1 small watermelon, peeled and cubed (to yield about 6 cups watermelon cubes)
- juice of 2 small limes
- 2 tbsp agave nectar (optional)
- 1 750ml bottle dry sparkling wine, chilled
- Purée the watermelon cubes in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the watermelon using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Add the lime juice and, if desired, the agave nectar.
- Mix the watermelon agua fresca with the champagne. Start with roughly equal parts of agua fresca to champagne, then tweak to your taste.
This is also great as a granita or a slushie -- freeze the mimosa in a baking pan for a couple of hours, then scrape up the ice crystals that have formed along the sides and top layer with a fork. Return to the freezer for another few hours, scrape, and repeat, until all of the mimosa is frozen and fluffy.

Ah, destruction. Who doesn't love it and the multitudes of games devoted to it. But, you know what they say about too much of a good thing and moderation. My point is that sometimes you need to destroy with a little restraint. That's the take-away lesson in Warspark's latest, the demolition physics puzzler, Sieger.Read More

You're confusing Three Kingdoms with Warring States.
Anyways, it was a great game, and I had lots of fun playing it. Really surprised when I saw there were China levels.
So, in thirty words or less: Crush the Castle crossed with Red Remover, by way of Demolition City.
Personally I would have preferred if the different building materials had different strengths. Seems like everything shatters like glass. And then there is the issue of ammo. I think the puzzle element could have been even further enhanced if, for example, the biological warfare weapon did no structural damage. Or at least less damage. Seriously, talk about hard headed.
I liked it, but thought it was too easy. I finished about a third of the levels with one click on my first attempt.
cevgar-- the different materiel do have different strengths; later on the darker iron takes more punishment, while the stone is much more brittle.
Otherwise, it was fun, but even though I'm no ace at these, this one was pretty easy for me.
I thought it was great fun, having never played 'Crush the castle' I was able to take a fresh look on it. Now I will be giving that game a go!
Loved the game, even though it was dead easy. The "gold" requirement should actually be the regular requirement, and even then the game would be a cakewalk.
Still, a very entertaining distraction, if a little sadistic. :)
Sieger is a definate twist on the CtC idea, but I've noticed a few small items that could be addressed.
When playing the game, especially during a 'level reset' or even when advancing to the next level, the game has a habit of freezing. This requires the game to be reset. Even though you can pick up where you left off, it does get to be a pain.
No 'new game' option. After making it completely through the game, you don't have the ability to 'start all over' and try to better your score.
No 'previous level button'. We all know that when playing games like this, we develop an affinity to certain levels; whether they're especially easy, or tricky enough that we want to be able to try different approaches to beating them. Having a 'previous level' button would definately be a plus for this situation.
Statistics: After successfully beating all levels and opening all the treasure chests, after the final level, it said that I had only looted 27 of the 29 castles....what gives?
Ultimately, it's a great game; and if these 'glitches' could be fixed, it would make it that much better!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine!Strange and Ever After
This week I'm waiting on...
This week I'm waiting on...
by Susan Dennard
Release Date: July 22, 2014
Publisher: HarperTeen
Age Group: Young Adult
Why? A DARKNESS STRANGE AND LOVELY was absolutely fantastic. Ever since I read it in June, I've been waiting for the third book. I need it NOW!In the conclusion to the trilogy that Publishers Weekly called "a roaring—and addictive—gothic world," Eleanor Fitt must control her growing power, face her feelings for Daniel, and confront the evil necromancer Marcus...all before it's too late.
He took her brother, he took her mother, and now, Marcus has taken her good friend Jie. With more determination than ever to bring this sinister man to justice, Eleanor heads to the hot desert streets of nineteenth-century Egypt in hopes of ending this nightmare. But in addition to her increasingly tense relationships with Daniel, Joseph, and her demon, Oliver, Eleanor must also deal with her former friend, Allison, who has curiously entangled herself in Eleanor's mission.
With the rising dead chomping at her every move and Jie's life hanging in the balance, Eleanor is convinced that her black magic will see her through to the bitter end. But there will be a price. Though she and the Spirit Hunters have weathered every battle thus far, there will be consequences to suffer this time—the effects of which will be irreversible. And when it's over, only some will be able to live a strange and ever after.
Susan Dennard will leave readers breathless and forever changed in the concluding pages of this riveting ride.
What are you waiting on this week? And what do you think of this book? Have you heard of it? I'd love to know :D

The Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House, Tigers for Tomorrow, and more.
January 08, 2009
Tigers for Tomorrow
It's a little intimidating to walk through the 10-foothigh perimeter gates at Tigers for Tomorrow, the animal reserve at Untamed Mountain near Attalla. The experience recalls the circumstances in
Jurassic Park
, where visitors entering the park know that what lies beyond will awe them but could also do harm. The big cats at Tigers for Tomorrow aren't held behind thick glass walls, moats, or retaining walls. Here you can walk among the cagesmost cats have their own habitats, replete with wooden dens in which to sleep and logs or other toys to chew and scratch their claws onand get much closer than you would at a zoo. The organization's owners, president Susan Steffens and Wilbur McCauley, director of animal care and operations, don't want visitors to fear the wild cats and other animals cared for here, but they do hope you will depart with an informed respect for these creatures' untamed instincts.
Tigers for Tomorrow is a nonprofit animal sanctuary that specializes in caring for exotic animals, tigers in particular. It relocated from Fort Pierce, Florida, after sustaining damage from hurricanes and then a tornado, all within the span of a year. The 140-acre site was formerly the home of Bluegrass Farms Sanctuary, an animal sanctuary.
Tigers for Tomorrow takes in animals from a variety of circumstancesfrom circus sideshows, from people who can't take care of tigers or other exotic animals they bought as pets, or from breeders who send the animals off to auction. Once an animal comes to Tigers for Tomorrow, it will stay here for life.
The menagerie is a wonderland for anyone who takes an interest in large felines. Among the animals who live here are Benny, the black leopard; Towzer "the magnificent," a Bengal tiger hybrid; Bear and Lacoda, timber wolves born in the Northwestern United States; Mr. Lion, a male lion who looks like a character right out of
The Lion King
; and Willow, Jasmine, and Angelina Jolie, three young North American mountain lions. Tootles, a camel with one hump, and Zachariah the zebra round out the bunch, along with several tortoises and other farm animals.
The commitment at Tigers for Tomorrow requires a lot of effortand money. Steffens and McCauley feed the animals once a day, serving around 1,000 pounds of meatchicken, beef, pork, and venisonper week. Any male animals in enclosures with females have been neutered. Volunteers help clean animal waste, build enclosures and animal dens, and keep the park tidy, but they don't have contact with the animals. That work is left to the pros. Steffens and McCauley walk the cats, play with them, feed them, and monitor them around the clock for any signs of illness, injury, or distress.
The sanctuary is currently open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., when visitors can do their own walk-throughs, except during January and February 2009, when the sanctuary will be open to the public only on Saturdays.

Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House
Just a couple of hours from Birmingham on the banks of the Tennessee River in Florence lies something of a gem of a Frank Lloyd Wright housethe only Wright building in Alabama. Wright was in his seventies and had just finished what many consider his masterpiece, Fallingwater (near Pittsburgh), when Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum asked him to build their first home in 1939. Theirs would be the second example of a new kind of simple, affordable house Wright called the Usonian. In 1948 the Rosenbaums called on Wright to expand the house, and the family lived there until Mrs. Rosenbaum sold it to the city of Florence in 1999.
By then the house was a shambles. The roofapparently flat to the naked eye but pitched just enough to allow for runoffhad sagged, allowing standing water to destroy it. The 20-foot-long cantilevered carport had developed, as one observer noted, an "unnerving flexibility." Termite damage was extensive. Wright's original heating for the house, which involved hot water pipes in the concrete-slab floors, had never really worked (the Rosenbaums had relied on space heaters and window air conditioning units over the years).
Thanks to a group that included former Florence mayor Eddie Frost, city museum director Barbara Broach, and architect Donald Lambert, the city meticulously restored the house and opened it to the public as a museum in 2002. (Broach, Lambert, and Milton Bagby recount the house's historyincluding correspondence between the Rosenbaums and Wrightin
Frank Lloyd Wright's Rosenbaum House: The Birth and Rebirth of an American Treasure
.) Their dedication to preserving the original vision for the homeincluding the return of the original Wright-designed furniture (the architect specified every detail of his homes)earned the house a Wright Spirit in the Public Domain Award from the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy in 2004.
Wright's philosophy of organic architecturethat a house should emerge naturally from and blend in with its environmentis evident in the Rosenbaum House. The house is made mostly of natural materials such as red cypress, brick, stone, and glass. Large windows and glass doors on one side of the main living space open to a tranquil green landscape; the opposite wall features built-in bookshelves beneath a row of clerestory windows.
The Rosenbaum House is located at 601 Riverview Drive in Florence. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.4 p.m. and Sunday, 14 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. Call 256-740-8899 or visit

Unclaimed Baggage Center
You know you've seen it: the nondescript black duffle probably stuffed with essentials and souvenirs from a long tripa new designer jacket with the tags still attached, the latest hit CDs, and a video camera, among other things. As it makes its hundredth lonely rotation on the airport luggage carousel, you wonder, "Where does it go now?"
It heads to the lost baggage capital of the world, which is about two hours northeast of Birmingham in Scottsboro. It's the Unclaimed Baggage Centerthe one and only retail store in the nation loaded with lost luggage where shoppers can reap the benefits of airline mishaps (often at half the regular price).
The UBC complex, as it is called, is an expansive grayish building that takes up an entire city block. It's easy to spend a whole day there; in fact, that should be a requirement. Aside from the fresh-brewed coffee aroma drifting from the in-store café, the clean fitting rooms, the friendly concierge booth, and the children's video area, UBC looks and feels like an average Goodwill store.
The inventory is 60 percent clothing, so be prepared to sift through row after row and hanger after hanger of fashion mistakes (especially European ones) to find a real gem worth buying or at least trying on. But unlike other thrift stores, the items at UBC were never intended for resale, which makes finding a $400 wool Burberry overcoat for $78 that much sweeter. Most visitors, however, go directly for the electronics, shoes, sporting goods, and CDs in the mezzanine. The ultimate find, if your patience hasn't waned, is in the hundreds of unmarked jewel cases of lost CDs. Only the best traveling music, plucked from an airline passenger's entire personal collection just for the boring flight or family vacation, is at the UBC shopper's fingertips. Virtually everything is herefrom obscure international tunes and Paul Simon's
, to the new Radiohead albumand for only $3.50-$6 each.
There's even a housewares department. Don't forget to check out the in-store museum, which details the store's history and houses unique UBC acquisitions: an Egyptian crescent moon dating back to 1500 B.C. that was part of a collection discovered in a tattered Gucci bag sometime in the 1980s; a violin circa 1770; and the mechanical puppet Hoggle from
are just a few of the items UBC decided were just too good to give up. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. I-59 to Fort Payne and Highway 35 North at 509 West Willow Street in Scottsboro. 256-259-1525 or
Aliceville Museum and Cultural Arts Center
During World War II, more than 400,000 Axis prisoners of war were locked up in some 700 POW camps across the United States. One of the country's largest prisoner camps was in Aliceville, in Pickens County, in the western part of the state. Camp Aliceville held 6,100 German prisoners from 1943 to 1945. Though it wasn't exactly "Hogan's Heroes," Nazi prisoners nevertheless entertained themselves and their captors by staging plays; handcrafting sophisticated musical instruments that included violins, cellos, and violas to perform prison concerts; and producing an impressive variety of paintings and sculptures that remain on display at the Aliceville Museum and Cultural Arts Center.
In June 1943, the first German prisoners arrived in Aliceville by train after their capture during combat in North Africa. All that remains of the camp is a chimney and historical marker, but fortunately the Aliceville Museum has preserved prisoner artifacts. Maybe Camp Aliceville really was like "Hogan's Heroes" after all. Former prisoners continue to travel to Aliceville from Germany (though they are now octogenarians) with their families for reunions with the American guards who once held them captive. The Aliceville Museum and Cultural Arts Center is open from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. 205-373-2363.
The W.C. Rice Cross Garden
Several miles west of Prattville, County Road 86 twists and winds like a serpent through the rural flatland of south Alabama. Suddenly, thousands of crosses, some as tall as 20 feet, appear on both sides of the road. Attached to crosses and trees, homemade signs testify: "In Hell From Sex" and "What Will You Do With Jesus?"Discarded painted air conditioners proclaim "Hell Is Hot Hot Hot" and dot the crudely decorated landscape, as do disabled washing machines and makeshift wooden sheds adorned with primitive paintings of Christ. A trailer park sits on a hillside just off the highway, next to the late W.C. Rice's suburban, ranch-style house.
Rice passed away on January 18, 2004, and was the "curator" (and trailer park landlord) of sorts at the W.C. Rice Cross Garden. In his driveway is a red pickup truck covered with tiny white crosses and a five-foot wooden cross mounted in the truck bed. A neglected van is parked several feet away, the question "Jesus Is Coming. Are You Ready To Meet Him?" is plastered on one side. Beneath the ominous query are optional "Yes" and "No" boxes waiting to be filled in with the appropriate response. Rice employed the van during his days as a traveling preacher. Cryptic patterns of rocks, which have been splattered with red paint to symbolize the blood of Christ, are scattered around the yard. Inside the house, Rice was confined to his recliner due to a stroke and various other ailments; a 12-inch crucifix featuring a suffering Christ dangled from the 73-year-old visionary's neck. There are nearly 100 more such crucifixes attached to the walls of the living room. Clad in a black sweatsuit with blue crosses handpainted on the shoulders, Rice spoke in a barely audible whisper. "God give it to me," he explained of his fascination with the color black. "I'm going to be buried in a black suit and have a black casket."
In the living room, dollar bills arranged in the shapes of crosses surround a velvet painting of Christ walking on water. The number 27 also features prominently in the room to signify that his mother was born on April 27, 1905, and died on April 27, 1976, the day her soul was saved on her deathbed. It wasn't until his mother's funeral that Rice received a vision from the Lord to construct the Cross Garden. In fact, he compared his sacred visions detailing the creation of the garden to God instructing Noah to build the ark. In the mid-1980s, affluent neighbors sued Rice, claiming that the collection was negatively affecting property values. The neighbors lost.
Rice was revered as a visionary artist by many who have visited his Cross Garden over the years. To him, however, his three decades of obsession with religious symbols were merely a preoccupation with spreading the saving power of the Lord. "I'm not in the art business. I'm in the Jesus business," he used to say with a whisper and a smile. "But I've learned a little about art, too." Visit

U.S. Space and Rocket Center
It's ironic, but the Alabamian who had the greatest impact on U.S. history was a one-time enemy German scientist named Wernher von Braun, the rocket engineer who designed the powerful V-2 rocket for the Nazis during World War II. Von Braun switched his allegiance to the United States after the war. Relocating to Huntsville to further develop rocket propulsion at the Marshall Space Flight Center, he subsequently created the powerful Saturn V rockets that put Americans on the moon.
The fantastic dreams that Von Braun's genius unleashed and eventually fulfilled are on dazzling display at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. A new building has been built for the refurbished Saturn V rocket that would have launched
Apollo 18
to the Moon (the mission was canceled). The Saturn rocket is mounted horizontally, 10-feet high, so that visitors can walk beneath its entire 100-yard length. Climb into the
Apollo 16
capsule on exhibit and you'll be surprised at how cramped the spacecraft was that took astronauts into lunar orbit in 1969imagine flying to the moon in a Volkswagen Beetle.
There's also a moon rock or two, astronaut space suits, and a lunar rover vehicle (with odd wire-mesh wheels) that astronauts drove across the moon's surface. Of course, there's the Spacedome IMAX Theater, designed to show outer space documentaries and gravity-defying, daredevil films in glorious 3D. The IMAX screen is guaranteed to grip the attention of any children tagging along. Take I-65 North to I-565, then get off at Exit 15 if you want to reminisce on humankind's greatest exploration accomplishments. Hours are 9 a.m.5 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday until March 2, 2009, after which the Space Center will be open seven days a week. One Tranquility Base, Huntsville. Admission to both the museum and Spacedome IMAX Theater is $24.95 for adults and $19.95 for kids 6 to 12. To visit the museum only is $20 for adults and $15 for children. Call 256-837-3400 or go to
for more information.
Paul W. Bryant Museum
Some say that the Bryant Museum is a multimedia archive of sports history and the University of Alabama's football tradition; others claim it is a fanatical shrine to Paul "Bear" Bryant. Both descriptions are entirely correct, and that's why the museum is such a fascinating slice of Alabama football culture. It's one thing to understand firsthand, or to observe from outside, what the Crimson Tide means to the team's legions of fans. But it is still quite an experience to behold this tradition distilled into a single Smithsonian-style exhibit.
To enter the museum on game day is to enter the holiest of holies, which is not to say that the crowd mingling in the gift shop or milling through the exhibits act like they are in church. Indeed, as visitors wedge shoulder to shoulder into the mini-amphitheater to view a large-screen video presentation of the Crimson Tide's greatest moments (voiceover by Bear Bryant, of course), fans seem only a bit more subdued than they are in Bryant-Denny Stadium. There is, however, a sense of reverence or awe in the room that recreates a typical den circa early 1970s, in which a big console television plays some old Bear Bryant football reviews from the Sunday afternoons of yore.
Throughout the museum are rare photos, film footage dating as far back as the 1920s, newspaper headlines and sports pages, jerseys, paraphernalia, and signed footballs. One clever exhibit features a mock-up of a broadcast booth where visitors may listen, via telephone receiver, to some classic Tide broadcasts. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Sunday.300 Bryant Drive, Tuscaloosa, 348-4668 or

The Terrible Toll of Typhoon Haiyan Doesn't Excuse Bad Policy
Forecasts of cyclonic doom should be consumed with a heaped tablespoon of sea salt. And policies should be framed accordingly.
Some say the death and destruction in Asia are symptoms of climate change and that we can expect worse to come—unless we cut back on emissions of greenhouse gases. Coincidentally, negotiators from around the world are meeting in Warsaw, Poland this week and next to attempt to hammer out a deal that would do just that. But cuts in emissions of greenhouse gases may not be the best way to address the threat of hurricanes and typhoons, even if climate change is making them worse.The terrible toll of Typhoon Haiyan—estimated to have killed more than 4,000 people—reminds us of the often awesome power of the weather.
When it hit the Gulf of Leyte in the Philippines, Haiyan had sustained winds of 145 mph, with gusts of up to 170 mph, making it comparable in intensity to the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, which had winds of approximately 145 mph at landfall on the Texas Coast. The loss of life in Leyte, currently estimated at between 3,600 and 4,500, may ultimately be as great or greater than Galveston, where between 8,000 and 12,000—a quarter of the town's population—are estimated to have died, making it the most deadly natural disaster in U.S. history.
Some activists claim that Haiyan is a symptom of climate change and that it should be a wake-up call to take action to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. Even theologians are getting in on the act, saying that the typhoon is the result of the sin of climate denial! But those may not be the most appropriate lessons. First, because it is far from clear that global warming is leading to an increase in the number or intensity of typhoons and hurricanes. Second, and more importantly, even if global warming does result in more extreme weather events, cutting emissions will likely do little to reduce the damage they inflict, while potentially costing a great deal, thereby reducing people's ability to take preventative or ameliorative action.
In 1948, Erik Palmén showed that tropical cyclones (the scientific name for hurricanes and typhoons) only occur where sea surface temperatures reach at least 80F (26.5C). This empirical observation was later used by MIT Professor Kerry Emmanuel as a basis for claiming that a rise in global temperatures would result in more violent cyclones. But in a 2006 paper, published in the Journal Geophysical Research Letters, Philip Klotzbach showed that "accumulated cyclone energy"—a measure of the total amount of energy in all tropical cyclones from around the world—showed no trend over the twenty year period from 1986 to 2005, in spite of the rise in recorded temperatures during that period.
Of course, twenty years is a relatively short period. Unfortunately, good data on global cyclone numbers and intensity is not available for much longer periods. However, there exist reasonably reliable estimates of the number and intensity of hurricanes in the North Atlantic going back to 1851. As the figure below shows, over that period, there is no significant trend in either the total number of hurricanes making landfall in the US or the number of major (categories 3, 4 and 5) hurricanes making landfall.
Moreover, as the figure below shows, there is essentially no correlation between the temperature of the sea surface in the Northern tropics (where the majority of hurricanes are initiated), as indicated by the green line, and either the number of hurricanes (blue) or the number of major hurricanes (red) making landfall in the U.S.
For longer-run estimates of tropical cylone numbers in other regions, data is generally less reliable. One of the best efforts comes in the form of a 2004 paper published in the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, which reports on an analysis undertaken by two researchers at the University of Louisiana, Kam-biu Liu and Caiming Shen and a colleague at the University of Hong Kong, Kin-sheun Louie, who used semi-official local gazettes, called Fang Zhi, from China's Guangdong province, to reconstruct the Typhoon record going back 1,000 years (calibrating their data using reliable observations from 1884-1909). As the authors note: "Remarkably, the two periods of most frequent typhoon strikes in Guangdong (AD 1660–1680, 1850–1880) coincide with two of the coldest and driest periods in northern and central China during the Little Ice Age." Of course, this analysis is specific to one location and the authors note that "Conceivably, the predominant storm tracks shifted to the south during these cold periods, resulting in fewer landfalls in Japan and the east-central Chinese coast but more typhoons hitting Guangdong." But even if that is the case, it seems unlikely that the typhoons are any more closely correlated to sea surface temperature than are hurricanes.
In a 2010 paper published in Environmental Research Letters, Professors Ryan P. Crompton of MacQuarie University in Australia, and Roger A. Pielke, Jr. and K. John McAneney of the University of Colorado at Boulder, estimated the time that it would take for signals of human induced climate change "to emerge in a time series of normalized US tropical cyclone losses" and concluded that "[U]nder the projections examined here, the detection or attribution of an anthropogenic signal in tropical cyclone loss data is extremely unlikely to occur over periods of several decades (and even longer). This caution extends more generally to global weather-related natural disaster losses."
In a subsequent blog post commenting on a recent paper by Kerry Emmanuel, Prof. Pielke reaffirms that "the time to detection of a signal of human-caused climate change, assuming that recent projections are correct, is a long, long time. Like, not in our lifetimes and certainly not now." So, if anyone claims that there is a link between human-induced climate change and losses due to tropical cyclones—or any other weather-related natural disaster losses—they are either clairvoyant or they are lying.
Given the devastation wrought by tropical cyclones, it certainly makes sense to worry about them. But does that mean—as many activists argue—that global emissions of greenhouse gases should be cut? If it were possible to cut emissions significantly at no cost, then the answer would seem to be, obviously, yes. To that end, it certainly makes sense to remove unnecessary obstacles to lower-emission technologies, such as the production of natural gas through hydraulic fracturing—which has done more than anything to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions over the past decade. But even eliminating greenhouse gas emissions altogether would not stop the scourge of the tropical cyclone.
Fortunately, there are things that can be done to reduce the harm inflicted by cyclones. The response by the survivors of the Galveston Hurricane offers a salutary lesson. They built a massive sea wall, seventeen feet high and ten miles long (two feet higher than the storm surge that accompanied the 1900 hurricane). And they raised the foundations of over 2,000 of the town's buildings, also by seventeen feet. As a result, when the town was battered again by a massive hurricane fifteen years' later, the twelve foot storm surge caused considerable economic damage but only 53 people lost their lives.
Such responses help explain why, contrary to claims by some scientists activists, tropical cyclones have become less deadly over time. In the 25 years from 1960 and 1984, approximately 500,000 people died during tropical cyclones. In the next 25 years, from 1985 to 2009, that number fell by 20 per cent, to around 400,000. But over the same period, the world's population rose by more than 30%, which means that the death rate fell from 0.51 to 0.27 per 100,000, a decline of nearly 50%. (These disaster numbers are from the World Health Organization's Emergency Events database. The calculations, using population data from the Angus Maddison project, are in an excel spreadsheet available here.
Beyond building sea defenses and raising foundations, death rates have fallen because of the establishment of early warning systems and better infrastructure, which enable earlier and more rapid evacuation, as well as improvements in building technologies, which have meant that more people have had access the kinds of safety previously only available to the rich. After the 1900 Galveston hurricane, most of the buildings still standing were mansions in the town's wealthy Strand District.

I say that the death and destruction in Asia are symptoms of the wrath of the Chinese wind god, Fei Lian, the winged dragon with the head of a sparrow, the horns of a bull, body and legs of a stag and the tail of a snake, and that we can expect worse to come-unless we conduct the proper Taoist rites to appease the Celestial Archer, Houyi, the eternal foe of Fei Lian.
My theory has as much evidence and even more historical precedence than AGW theory. Now if you need me, I'll be burning joss sticks down at the shrine.
Torch one for me!
Oh yeah? Well, AGW has CONSENSUS! Do you have CONSENSUS? I didn't think so!
Well, AGW has CONSENSUS! Do you have CONSENSUS?
Over 1 billion Chinese can't be wrong.
Suck it Gaia theory.
*rises to applaud*
JOSS-STICKS, n. Small sticks burned by the Chinese in their pagan tomfoolery, in imitation of certain sacred rites of our holy religion.
(By the late great Ambrose Bierce)
"... the death and destruction in Asia are symptoms of climate"
I look at that picture, and I see plenty of fuel for the whole winter. They'll figure shit out.
Not to mention the shit tons of stimulus and wealth that the storm created.
Fuel just for the winter? They are between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. They have enough fuel for decades in that picture.
Last time I was in Manila the coldest night in those three months was around 75°F.
The kids over at the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society just discovered that there is not a thermometer on every square foot of the globe, they decided to fill in the missing bits for us. Conclusion? Global warming has been underestimated, by their estimation!
Underestimated by a lot, actually by so much it is amazing that nobody has been able to detect the imaginary effects that they say are just around the corner.
You know, the cult of climate change used to be my favorite delusional retarded cult, but the Obamacare cult has completely surpassed them. I'm swimming in delusional retarded cults here.
Don't forget the cult of "reasonable" gun control. Always good for some lols.
To me, reasonable gun control involves a good sling so you don't drop it and mar the finish.
Would someone *kindly* remind me: When does a cult have enough adherents to be called a religion?
When they are teaching the cults dogma as science in college.
You really should not insult the retards like that.
I expect this recent finding to be prominently featured in the IPCC that was completed a couple months ago.
Remember, you can't spell IPECAC without IPCC.
One would think that The Philippines could do a lot better in just about every area. After all, they were our colony for almost 50 years during the first half of the 20th Century, and our dependency for another 50 years after that to include our support of the corrupt and brutal Marcos Regime. What on earth is wrong with our "little brown brothers and sisters" when they had such a fine example to look up to for a century? Ha!!!!
On the one hand, they are as corrupt as Chicago. On the other hand, they have an Islamic insurgency.
So if anything, I think the US is more likely to end up looking like the Philippines in the future
Makes a lot of sense dude
The Philippines suffers from great wealth disparity. Rural Philippines which was most affected by Haiyan tend to have a great deal of poverty while urban Philippines like Manila have great prosperity.
Morris talks about improving the transportation infrastructure, but seems to fail to take into account the effects of the earth quake that happened about a month ago plus the damage done by the rain and storm surge. A more modern and robust transportation system would withstand the storm better, but still would be devastated and prevent the movement of relief supplies.
The intensity of the storm is not due to global warming. People tend to make that mistake after extreme storms just as others deny that global warming doesn't have an affect or isn't partially due to human activity. Cutting emissions will have a beneficial affect, but it will be long term and even if we reduce the average amount of C02 in the atmosphere which has reached a record level we won't see a difference for decades.
As for the cost of cutting emissions it is minuscule compared to the cost of adjusting to higher sea levels and the increase in energy in global weather.
Yes, the Philippines has great disparities in wealth. But much more important than the disparities in wealth is the degree of rural poverty. If the rural poor in the Philippines were as wealthy as the rural poor in the U.S., the impact of Haiyan/Yolanda would likely have been far less extreme. The best way to achieve that is to remove barriers to economic development in the whole country -- i.e. increase economic freedoms.
In re. transportation infrastructure: yes, the earthquake made the situation much worse, but in a sense that reinforces my point: better constructed roads are more likely to have withstood the earthquake, thereby enabling more people to evacuate.
Regarding the relationship of the storm to global warming: my point was that we don't know -- and won't be able to know whether there is a relationship between global warming and cylone intensity for many decades. So, you can't say affirmatively that it wasn't (in part) due to global warming.
Regarding your assertion that cutting carbon dioxide emissions will have a "beneficial affect" (sic): such a statement presumes (a) human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing global warming; (b) such anthropogenic global warming is having a negative impact that is greater than any positive impact from the emissions of carbon dioxide; (c) the benefits of (presumably mandatory) reductions in carbon dioxide are greater than the costs. While (a) seems plausible based on the evidence, (b) is unclear, but (c) seems highly improbable based on what we know of the costs and benefits.
Regarding your assertion that the costs of cutting emissions is minuscule: how do you know? Certainly attempting to cut emissions substantially (i.e. much beyond the no-regrets policies I adumbrate) in the near-term would impose enormous costs. Meanwhile, my point was about adjusting to the current climate, as much as it was adjusting/adapting to any future climate. i.e. it makes sense to take some actions today that will reduce the harm done by future cyclones, regardless of whether global warming is having an impact on the intensity of such cyclones.
my best friend's ex-wife makes $74 an hour on the laptop. She has been out of work for five months but last month her pay was $21054 just working on the laptop for a few hours. explanation..........................
Can't we just set off a few hundred nukes to stop climate change, as Carl Sagan and four others proved thirty years aGO?

TERRANOVA Probiotic With Prebiotics is a Beneficial digestive bacteria and prebiotic complex enhanced with highly active, whole and unadulterated superfoods and botanicals.
Burdock is one of the most valuable of all plants in terms of prebiotic properties. The root contains a remarkably high percentage of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), making it one of the most useful tools for enhancing beneficial bacteria. One of burdock`s major prebiotic compounds, inulin, also may help support healthy immune function.
The beet root is a good source of the prebiotic and immune supportive oligosaccharide inulin.
SRB contains both insoluble and soluble forms of fibre, which support the overall benefits of probiotic bacteria in maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Especially significant to the role of beneficial bacteria is the content of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in SRB. FOS is a type of indigestible carbohydrate which acts as a prebiotic (a substance that enhances the viability and/or activity of beneficial digestive bacteria).
Each Terranova nutritional product is enhanced with its own synergistic complex of botanicals and phytonutrient-rich foods, called Magnifood. Magnifood ingredients are combined in a manner which enhances the body`s biochemical environment in order to maximise the potential benefits of the product`s vitamins, minerals and/or other nutrients. Many of the plants used in Magnifood are fresh freeze dried. Research shows that fresh freeze drying has the unique ability to retain a plant`s enzymes, and is shown to be superior to other drying methods in terms of activity, stability, solubility and preservation of a plant`s original fresh chemistry (as it was when the plant was harvested).

TRIPOLI, Lebanon: Tripoli's local militia commanders stole the limelight from the city's politicians as the biggest newsmakers of 2013, and they are expected to keep doing just that in the coming year, with residents prepared for a further shift in power to the new warlords of Lebanon's second-biggest city.
Taking advantage of the lawlessness in Tripoli, the local militia commanders in the neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh have established a strong media presence over the past year, appearing on TV to publicize their ideas and cease-fire conditions after every round of fighting. All originally from impoverished parts of the city, many now run protection rackets that help them profit from the unrest.
Heads of armed groups in the city began to rise to prominence following the start of Syria's war in March 2011, as violence broke out in waves between supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad in Tripoli's predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh and rivals in the mainly Alawite Jabal Mohsen.
Amer Arish, who heads a group of gunmen in Al-Mankoubin area on the front line, used to work in a car tire shop on the Beddawi highway. Nowadays, Arish controls a significant geographical area adjacent to the northern side of Jabal Mohsen.
Sources told The Daily Star that Arish has begun to confiscate public property where he then constructs residential complexes with a partner from the Ghamrawi family who works in the real estate business.
Saad Masri, who heads another group of fighters, is the brother of Khodor Masri, who worked for an office in Bab al-Tabbaneh that is under the patronage of caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and provides social aid.
Upon Khodor's death in vague circumstances in the summer of 2011, Saad returned to Bab al-Tabbaneh from Australia, where he was living with his family. Saad is currently in control of the vegetable market that provides produce to the entire north. According to sources, Masri charges the owner of every vegetable shop in Bab al-Tabbaneh a protection fee.
Ziad Saleh, better known as Ziad Allouki, used to own a vegetable cart in the city. His gunmen currently control the wheat market, a vital source for grains in Tripoli.
Fighters loyal to local militia commanders are also forcing drivers of trucks crossing to and from Syria to pay them money, threatening to set their vehicles ablaze if they don't.
Some militia commanders are involved in smuggling a wide range of products to Syria and even embezzle financial aid from foreign agencies meant for Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
With militia commanders turning rich and infamous, aspiring Mafiosos are also trying to take over new neighborhoods and markets in the city and force merchants to pay protection money. Shortly after the latest round of violence earlier this month, gunmen targeted several shops owned by Alawite and Shiite merchants in Tripoli's markets.
During recent clashes, violence spilled out of the warring neighborhoods, spreading to other areas of the city such as Bab al-Hadeed, Nijmeh Square, Bab al-Ramel and old quarters of the city. Gunmen have taken control of each of these neighborhoods, proclaiming them a new front line against Jabal Mohsen. Every time fighting is over, gunmen force residents of these areas to pay protection money. The intimidation has forced many residents to flee the city.
Arrest warrants issued by judiciary against street militia commanders have effectively censored them from speaking on TV as they seek to evade capture. But that has not silenced their threats in private against people from Jabal Mohsen, raising the prospects of a 19th bout of violence.
Adding fuel to the fire were charges against several people from Jabal Mohsen accusing them of orchestrating the twin car-bomb attacks that targeted two Tripoli mosques in August. The judicial accusations have given Bab al-Tabbaneh fighters further reason to launch attacks against Jabal Mohsen.
After every round of clashes, the Army deploys in the two restive neighborhoods, but soldiers steer clear of alleys and streets deep inside the areas, where wanted men find easy sanctuary.
Residents of Tripoli yearn for moments of peace and the days before strife in Syria began, and some effort was made this holiday season to unify its residents, with civil society groups organizing a festival to celebrate Christmas and New Year.
Tripoli has a strong presence in the resigned government, with four ministers in the caretaker Cabinet, along with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, hailing from Tripoli.
Yet no development projects have taken place in the city since 1995, despite rising poverty and unemployment, contributing to an increase in crime and fostering extremism among young men, many of whom have joined rebels fighting in Syria.
"Calm should be restored in Tripoli, which is supposed to be an economic capital of Lebanon," said Thaer Moqaddam, the head of the Committee of Merchants of Azmi Street in Tripoli.
"There should also be developmental projects that combat unemployment and poverty so that Tripoli will be a lively city again."
