Hooked by a 20-pound yellowtail
"It couldn't be pushed through or pulled out due to tendons..."
Delinda Lombardo 5:15 p.m., Sept. 23
The tusked mascot tasked with filling San Diego's airwaves with oldies is getting harpooned. The station will soon be rebranded as the New Max 105.7.
The Walrus handle was installed five years ago by then-station manager John Lynch, who reportedly chose the image as homage to the Beatles' 1967 psychedelic-pop classic "I Am the Walrus," which was fitting given that the station was playing hits of the '60s.
But you can forget about hearing "I Am the Walrus" or most any of the early Beatles classics on the New Max 105.7. No more "I Feel Fine," "If I Fell," or "I Should Have Known Better" by the Fab Four on the airwaves. New Max 105.7 is following the lead of most other "classic hits" stations across the country that have moved away from the '60s and chestnuts such as "Gloria" or "Under My Thumb."
Insiders say that over the past few weeks the station at 105.7 FM has been phasing in its new format. The official name change is expected next week and then New Max 105.7 will focus on the '80s with an ear for 91X heritage artists, such as the Cure, R.E.M., Billy Idol, the B-52s, OMD, and INXS, as well as dance hits by Michael Jackson, Rick James, and KC & the Sunshine Band and favorites by '70s standbys Journey, the Eagles, Billy Joel, and the Doobie Brothers.
With the format and name change comes a significant DJ lineup overhaul to accompany the "re-launching." One of San Diego's longest-running rock DJs, Rich Brother Robbin, will host his last afternoon show on 105.7 on Friday, August 8. Robbin, 70, started playing the hits on San Diego airwaves in 1969, when he became a "boss jock" on 136 KGB Boss Radio.
"I'm hanging up my headphones after 56 years," says Robbin, who tells the Reader that he first started working at a radio station as an errand boy at the age of 14. "I knew then this is what I wanted to do for life."
Lynch, a former NFL linebacker who segued into broadcast management, could not be reached to see what he thought about radio mascot being killed off. Lynch was instrumental in launching 91X as a modern music station in the '80s and for turning "Mighty 1090" into the West Coast's first all-sports station. He is currently the vice chairman and CEO of UT San Diego.
Should have been "Mighty 690" (not 1090). Lynch switched it to XTRA Sports 690. Both stations used/use the "Mighty" handle. XTRA Sports 690 was "Mighty 690" just before it switched to sports.
It should also be noted, XTRA Sports 690 now plays Spanish programming. Sports has moved to Mighty 1090. Sports left 690 in 2002. 1090 became an all sports station the next year. It should also be noted that The Walrus/Max 105.7, 690-AM and 1090-AM are all Mexican radio stations with transmitters and towers in Baja.
Lynch's company used to run the programming for 6 different stations--all of them Mexican stations.

SNL Spoofs the Palin/Couric Interview: Lay Off or Loving It?
SNL was almost wall-to-wall politics last night, with an ersatz debate match-up, a faux Bill Clinton making an appearance on "Weekend Update," and this spoof on the Palin/Couric interview from earlier this week. Compare it to the original and see what you think — did they nail it? Or do you wish there was a joke where the punchline wasn't "Sarah Palin?"

Browning B92
Does anyone have any experience with a Browning B92 (1892) in 44 mag? What is the quality of these guns? How accurate are they?

Although I have not owned, I have known a few who have. Very high quality/top drawer. Were made in .357 and .44 Mag in roughly equal amounts I believe, but the .44 seems more prevalent in recent sales I've seen, so...? Supposedly built in same Japanese factory (a good thing) - in the late 70s, early 80s -- for Browning (Winchester) as the recent Winchester reissue Model 92s and others. I have heard the characterization (qualification) about Rossi 92s of "A very nice gun but ain't no Browning 92..." While I've owned many Rossis (Rossi, EMF, LSI (Legacy Puma), Navy Arms) with no problems and good shooters all, I think they are primarily referring to fit, finish, wood quality (the very best re finish and wood) and perhaps metallurgy. They are no longer cheap (actually never really were)..currently running in the $500/600 + range for the very good to excellent used "regular" models, $700/800+ for the "Centennial" models (high grade/limited ed.). Most I've seen (Centennial or not) have gold plated triggers, the centennials have engraving on the receiver. Not sure how the saddle ring (when so equipped) is treated, but I believe at least gold on the Centennial.
These are essentially 99% accurate to the originals -- actually perhaps closer to later issue (1920s?) as they employ a buckhorn rear sight (the 1% difference) vs. the earlier issue (1892-1920 or so?) flip up ladder type. From the 1920s through the end of production int he 1930s, most 92 carbines actually had the "slight notch" type -- and not a full buckhorn -- found on Model 94s since then also, so the buckhorn is closer in design to that configuration than the earlier ladder sight. So, in addition to the EMF and Navy Arms (which also have no goofy safety like the LSIs do making the LSIs less desirable IMO and certainly "non original" ), but the Browning perhaps even better due to the quality, this is as close to an original 92 in function and form as you can get--without it actually being an orignal Win. Armi Sport (through Taylors and perhaps Cimarron, though I have not seen cabines advertised via the latter) is taking a stab at these, including I believe the early-period correct ladder type rear sight (also standard on all 1873 carbines), but - like the early Rossis - have got the front post sight wrong...placing it on the barrel band and not behind it per most original 92s.

The Supreme Court recently ruled that there should be no limits on the amount of money that corporations are allowed to donate to political campaigns. How will the Supreme Court's ruling affect campaigns in the future? I take a look at some potential disaster scenarios:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Your American President
Sure, corporations could spend millions of dollars promoting one candidate, but why limit themselves? Just trot up 100 or so of America's young, aspiring politicians in front of Simon Cowell, Rod Blagojevich and a drunk Sarah Palin and let America's phone lines do the work. No one wants to vote for the candidate who doesn't sell it in the Coke promo segment. This would also be great at improving voter turnout, even if it does make our electoral process slightly more vulnerable to the charge that it is a pandering TV popularity contest.
Pepsi for America 2012
At the heart of the Supreme Court's decision is the assertion that Corporations should be treated legally as persons, so for the purposes of this example I will assume the thought process of John Pepsi.
"Hey," thinks Johnny Pepsi, "I spend a ton of money on advertising, and these fat cats in Washington still want to tell me how much sugar I can put in my soda pops, and what kind of sugar it can be, and what planet it has to be from, and how much of it can be formaldehyde. Why not kill two birds with one stone? I'll be the politician. I'll make Coke illegal! Why not? MY MONEY MAKES ME MORE POWERFUL THAN GOD." Later, John Pepsi will be found to have several secret wives, a history of writing ferociously racist statements in a small, self-published newsletter, and an unhealthy obsession with the eating and drinking habits of teenaged boys. And, in a stunning turn, he will turn up dead in a hotel room with a gallon of crude petroleum in his gut just weeks before the election, allowing incumbent Federico Exxon to walk away with an easy victory over Pepsi's running mate, Colonel Sanders.
Robopublicans versus Dinocrats
Now that candidates are tacitly mouthpieces of their corporate sponsors, why settle for mere humans to wage their campaigns? With the handcuffs off the corporations, no longer will they have to settle for giving piddly contributions to expertly-coiffed delusional idiot megalomaniacs who can't be trusted to follow any agenda but their own. Instead they'll be able to fund the creation of super-candidates made of science, and magic, and money. The Republican Party and her corporate sponsors will sponsor the creation of a Robopublican – a cold-blooded cyborg who doesn't blink when slashing social welfare programs, crushing unions, or electro-gerrymandering in the name of his steely robot god. In response, the left's corporate benefactors – the Hollywood elite – will create the Dinocrat, a homosexual triceratops from Yellowstone who represents the Sierra Club and the ACLU, and who will devour money and spend time asking black people if they're sad about how poor they are. Elections will be moot – for gladiators such as this, the only satisfactory resolution would be a fight to the death. The winner? The network that gets the broadcast rights to the fight. Which is fitting, as they're the ones who probably bribed the Supreme Court to make their nutty decision in the first place.
Increased Accountability by Politicians to their Constituents
Just kidding.

Asked by:
How can I get Windows 7 to display in widescreen on my 42" LCD TV?
I have integrated Intel graphics, with the most current driver I can find installed. 7 recognizes my Westinghouse screen only as a Generic PnP monitor with a max res of 1280x1024. However, in my Windows XP boot, everything looks great in a widescreen resolution so I know my crappy onboard graphics are widescreen capable. (forgetting what exactly that XP resolution is right now)
Also, when I get the dual boot OS choice screen when I first boot I can't read all the text, I can only see what would be in the 4:3 section of the screen, with the black bars on the sides obscuring most of the text so I assume this is a related problem.
Any thoughts appreciated...
- Changed type Ronnie VernonMVP, Moderator Saturday, January 31, 2009 5:03 AM
General discussion
All replies
are there downloadable drivers for your screen from the manufacturer?
i had a similar issueto your boot up issue when i first used my monitor, however that had a resize function i used built into it and since then its displayed perfectly. not sure if you might have something similar on your screen
I have the most current firmware for the screen and as I said, it works with XP. I have a resize function on the TV as well, but all it does is center my square shaped picture. I use it in XP constantly but that's just when the whole widescreen image is off the screen to one side, but in that case resize works flawlessly.
As I said, I have the most current drivers for the integrated graphics. I downloaded Powerstrip to try to write a monitor driver, so 7 now picks up that my screen is a Westinghouse, but PS (Vista version) doesn't seem to want to cooperate with 7 as far as forcing the card to display at 1360x768 @ 60Hz which is what works on my XP partition.

Monckton blames Jackie Kennedy for 40 million deaths
#1 Mark E. Gillar October 15, 2009
Janet, in the future, please actually read the entire board before commenting.
If you scroll to the very top (hopefully you know how to do that) you'll see that Monckton's lack of true scientific credentials was being discussed before I arrived. This is a tired old passtime here at Deltoid, yet the participants never seem to grow tired of it.
I was trying to point out that to question Monckton's lack of scientific credentials without questioning Gore's lack of scientific credentials makes the people here guilty of employing a double standard.
"Return when you have some useful evidence."
Why don't you return when you can follow a
string and add a comment that makes sense?
#2 Mark October 15, 2009
> I will remind you that the lack of a scientific background does not preclude one from giving scientific advice.
It does rather weaken the assumption that the advice given is sound…
#3 Mark October 15, 2009
Oh, and if this an attempt to get Monckton's lies on being a science adviser to a scientist, then it fails.
Why would a chemist of Thatcher's capability want someone who doesn't even know his latin for "Homer Nods" (which is in its original latin a shorthand for "Even Home sometimes dozes off and misses things" (nodding off), but Monckton used the latin for "Nods his head" (as if Homer agrees).
And as to his scientific capabilities, please read this:
If you disagree, please point out where he has made a mistake.
#4 Paul Uk October 15, 2009
>Neither do I care about poor people around the globe who can't afford to eat thanks to bio-fuel mandates that have driven up the price of food.
How about the people that can't afford to eat because they have less land to farm as a result of climate change?
How much land does a flooded city of 200,000 people take up?
eg. In such a case, the population would displace farm land that would have produced food for the city and others. The remaining farmland would have to produce more food and hence would require more inputs to keep it going or it would become sterile at a faster rate.
If you like taking gambles, don't take it with your own kids future, assuming you have them.

Isn't the problem that you take Gore far more seriously for his presentations and campaigning than anyone here.
AFAIK Gore doesn't challenge any scientists with his own theories.
I believe Monckton attempts his own analysis, yet as pointed out here, he has no scientific background.
#7 Janet Akerman October 15, 2009
No problem with me following the threat MEG, that's why I've called you on giving Monckton a free pass and for being a hypocrite.
I'm happy to reiterate.
I notice you still lack the basic constituent of evidence in your argument. So three strikes. Well at least you've got bluster, but that only cuts if for ill informed ideologues, you don't cut it here.
BTW your site is an embarrassment of propaganda. But at least you look rich, too bad that the ideology you are pushing has brought a once great nation to its knees. Bad luck on that one.
#8 Paul UK October 15, 2009
>Why is it that I've never seen a member of the house of lords publicly state that Monckton is not a member?
1. How often do you watch the House of Lords in the US? (assuming you have access to it).
2. Why would they bother? What relevance does it have to parliamentary procedure? If anyone really took him seriously the police might prosecute for fraud. I think you are applying American sensibilities to an old bloke that claims he's a lord. You partly want to believe that a weird looking English bloke would tell the truth because he supports your belief.
Your question is a typical one that I would expect from a conspiracy theorist.

#14 Robin Levett October 15, 2009
@Janet #87:
Have you considered renaming your site Hooverville…
Don't suggest that – if he does, it'll destroy the pun should Paul UK or I be driven to call him a right tit (which is such a good one on more than one level).
@Mark E Geller #68:
(Apologies for the previous mis-spelling – I take it you're not related to Buffy?)
In the meantime, I will remind you that the lack of a scientific background does not preclude one from giving scientific advice. Are you suggesting that neither Gore nor Monckton should be allowed to give testimony in Washington D.C. regarding Cap and Trade legislation?
A couple of points. Firstly, unless I'm much mistaken Monckton would have last studied science at age 16, for O-levels – and perhaps not even then. I know that the Classics scholars at my school gave up Physics at 14; although given that Monckton's school is considerably younger it may have had different ideas.
Secondly, he graduated with his diploma in journalism and went straight to work for the Yorkshire Post – nowhere there or in his subsequent career of stints at Smith Square punctuated by editorships of The Universe and right wing rags is there any indication of any serious scientific study. He makes the ludicrous claim that he got a serious grounding in the scientific method doing classics at Cambridge. The idea that he was in a position to give a rather intelligent chemist (no-one can both have worked as a research chemist and a tax barrister without some intelligence) scientific advice on the basis of having read some classical writings on science is beyond ludicrous.
Gore doesn't pretend to any specific scientific expertise; although he does have the advantage that he at least took one science course at Harvard – from Roger Revelle.
That though is irrelevant; the point of AIT is to present the findings of others, not to claim the research as his original work. Monckton, on the other hand…
As for whether they should be giving evidence re Cap and Trade? They are neither of them economists, although Gore's experience in government must count for something. They are neither of them scientists. You tell me; should they be giving testimony?
#15 Mark October 15, 2009
> I assume you do know what red noise is but wanted their explanation?
> Posted by: TrueSceptic
More than that, I want how they produced red noise.
Since the barnpot says they did it themselves, this should be simplicity itself.
And since they cannot (at least have not yet) given their method of creating red noise, this is proof that they didn't actually do the work themselves.

#21 TrueSceptic October 15, 2009
This article claims
According to the National Climatic Data Centre, Earth's hottest recorded year was 1998.
If you put the same question to NASA, scientists will say it was 1934, followed by 1998. The next three runner-ups are 1921, 2006 and 1931.
What a travesty of the truth! Is it sheer incompetence or a bare-faced lie?
(The Mail, of course, is the RW rag that publishes Melanie Phillips's anti-science garbage.)
#22 Mark October 15, 2009
The problem TS is that they will _INSIST_ they haven't lied.
They have by omission. You only get 1934 as the hottest year if you ask "what is the hottest year … in the US".
cf Grima's "I never, never, never, ever, never lie".

It's also funny that many are rating simple facts with "down arrows". How do these cretins even use a computer?

#97 – The Daily Mail article is pretty much what you expect of the Mail, the headline and first half being stupid/Melanie Philips. They even mention Easterbrook. But if you scroll down, you have Latif, Forster and the Met Office all mentioned. Of course few DM readers are looking at the second half of the story, having been assured in their prejudices by the headline. The DM has a habit of this, with a recent story about insects supplied by by the charity my wife works for ending up as 'Invasion of the Killer Spiders'. She was not pleased…
As for Hudson – Leo Hickman asked the BBC nicely what's going on http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2009/oct/13/bbc-blog-or-news-climate-change-denial , and got a terse non-reply. Someone in the BBC is a little embarrassed. Well done to those posting at the BBC and the Guardian – great work.
I'm all right – I get Midlands and we have Des http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastmidlandstoday/content/articles/2007/11/02/des_coleman_feature.shtml – I have no idea what he think about climate change, but he's far cooler than Hudson.

..he says, cheerfully equating research funding with money to push a particular line.
You're not going to claim that research funding is contingent on which way your findings go, are you?
#33 Jeff Harvey October 15, 2009
Mark, Mark, Mark…
Most of the scientists listed as sceptics on your site have negligible publication records. Where is their science? George Monbiot has examined the motivations of many of these people in some of his columns. No need for me to do that here.
I am also not saying that all of the sceptics by any means are in the pay of the fossil fuel industries or think tanks but many of the most prominent ones are at least associated with them. Moreover, many of the sceptics share a right wing (liberatarian) ideology which promotes evisceration of government regulations in pursuit of private profit.
I also find your web site unintentionally humorous in that you appear to think that the Obama administration is some far left liberal gang intent on reducing or eliminating freedoms in the U.S. Essentially, over here in Europe we are beginning to realize (as many of us knew all along) that Obama is nothing more than Bush with a public relations makeover; look at the foreign policies of the Bush and Obama administrations (not to say many of the characters involved) and Imperial Brand U.S.A. is pretty much exactly the same as before. Paul Street describes exactly why Obama won the Nobel Prize, and it isn' because his policies abroad have deviated one iota from those of George W.Bush and his neocon cronies.
To be honest, given the fact that the US political system has long been beholden to commercial elites, I find it amusing – to say the least – when I see web sites like yours with all of its rhetoric.
#34 Mark Byrne October 15, 2009
Lobbyist, lobby-tanks and propagandist front groups like Gillar's only need spend pennies in the dollar to influence [polical decisions](http://www.google.com/search?q=ROI+lobbying&rls=com.microsoft:en-au&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1) with greater political effect than hard earned solid scientific evidence.
Yet this is only a faction of the plutocractic influenc that displaces democractic process. We ought also tally the costs of the revolving door between government and various industrial profit complexi; then tally the costs of ripping of the public with poor decisions and narrow self interest resulting from this plutocratic imbalance of power; the cost of suppression of disruptive alternatives; and on, and on etc…
#35 ChrisK October 16, 2009
Mark Byrne@112
Yes, sadly true. It costs a lot less to muddy the waters than to do real science. They also rely on people's tendency to give more credibility to sources who tell them what they want to hear.
#36 James Haughton October 16, 2009
Mark Byrne @112, The Onion already did the hard work of tallying the costs and benefits:

#38 ChrisK October 16, 2009
Another point is that the creationists can also point to lists of scientists who support them. (And like the AGW 'sceptics', they also inflate the numbers by including people who aren't really scientists.)
But in the end, so what? Science is not decided by scientists expressing opinions or signing petitions, it is by scientists doing research, gathering data, making and testing hypotheses, that sort of stuff. You know, science. Which is what our 'sceptical' scientists have completely failed to do.
#39 Jeff Harvey October 16, 2009
Beautiful link. I love the Onion; when I was a post-doc at the University of Wisconsin-Madison 12 years ago their magazine was a real tonic.
The article sums up the myth of "trickle-down" economics; the same thing happened when Friedman-type "shock therapy" was applied to essentially fascist regimes in Latin America with US support during the 1970s and 1980s. Much of the middle classes were dumped into poverty while the rich became even richer. Wealth was concentrated; the idea that "all boats are lifted" by these policies was shown to be absolute nonsense; only those with yachts appeared to benefit.
Chris K also makes an excellent response to MEGs inflated list of scientists who deny AGW. The petitions are a load of crap in my opinion. Scientists are paid to do science, but many of the sceptics do not seem to think that doing actual science is very important, but appear to be happy to have their names crop up on these lists. Check out their publication records and maby have utterly meager ones.
#40 Mark Byrne October 16, 2009
James @114/115,
You've got a keen memory, I can rarely find two year old gems when I want them!
#41 Mark October 16, 2009
Isn't it odd how denialists proclaim that consensus isn't science and they say that AGW shouldn't be actioned against because there's no consensus. And also point to the Oregon Petition and 3000 signatures being proof that AGW is wrong.
#42 Mark October 16, 2009
Meg's "pennies on the dollar" meme keeps getting promoted by a frequent denier pauls over at desmogblog.
And when it comes to "pennies on the dollar", the coal industry alone in the US alone gets government subsidies of $3.1Bn a year. Oil over $15bn a year. Nuclear $5Bn a year (mostly the actuarial cost from the US underwriting the insurance costs that commerce will not touch with a barge pole: does Meg and his cronies want government out of that??).
Just for the US alone.
This adds up to lots of pennies from each person and dwarfs the monies paid to green projects.
#43 Jeff Harvey October 16, 2009
Well said… and on top of that look how much money industry spends lobbying members of Congress… in 1998, for example, big oil spent 58.2 million dollars, and agrobiotech companies 129.3 million dollars doing this. The same year, ALL NGOs spent a combined 4.7 million dollars. This includes NGOs representing a wide array of areas, including environmental groups (this was more than 10 years ago). This excludes the money spent by industry as campaign donations and other ways of currying favor with government, explaining why the US is essentially a plutocracy. In spite of what MEG says, as far as I am concerned there is barely a scintilla of difference between the Democrats and Republicans (as Gore Vidal once said, there is one party – the Property Party – in the US with two right wings, Republican and Democrat).
That is why I peruse MEGs web page with amusement; I don't think there would be much of a difference in foreign policy even if the Sarah Palin was president. Perhaps Iran would already have been flattened by U.S. bombs, and levels of violence in Afghanistan might be a bit higher, but not much else, at least in terms of foreign policy. The political agenda of both parties is remarkably consistent.
#44 TrueSceptic October 16, 2009
121 Jeff,
There's an old joke here, comparing US to UK politics.
"You see, the Republicans are like the Conservatives, whereas the Democrats are like the… Conservatives."
#45 Mark October 16, 2009
TS, mind you, it's now: Labour are like … the conservatives…
#46 Bernard J. October 16, 2009
Mark and TrueSceptic.
Sadly, the same applies for the Australian Labor Party, although there is admittedly a slightly more humanitarian approach to refugees and assylum seekers by the ALP than there was by the previous Conservative Government.
And although their approach to emissions control is nothing to write home about, at least they have the pretense – the Conservatives went to the last election with quite a number of their prominent Members still actively and vociferously denying AGW.
Some still do.
#47 Mark October 16, 2009
Maybe one problem is that money is needed to get "face time" with the public and it's more about voting for the name you know now that there's no real difference between the parties (there are still differences between candidates, but in the UK, the whips have far too much control and MPs tend to vote party rather than constituent).
This need for money to get voted for is why there's an inevitable drift to right wing (in so far as the monied are exalted by the right wing and "the poor" exalted by the left [though there's a whole other rant about the left's definition of the poor]). If you need money, those WITH money are the ones you need to get it from. And they won't help those who don't help the rich.
Conglomeration and homogenisation of media would adequately explain this.
#48 TTT October 16, 2009
I can't believe conservatives would dare try to BRAG about Monckton's credentials–real or otherwise–in the Roight Honowwable Piffaloon Society of the Divine Dervish or whatever the hell all his boilerplate assertions about portcullises and flying buttresses and wainscottings are supposed to mean. It's the most absurd example of fawning over meaningless idle pseudocredentials I've ever seen.
I had assumed Mark Gellar's first post, including those credentials, was a JOKE. But no, apparently Monckton and his fans actually care about his Ministry of Silly Walks drivel and expect us to care too. Maybe they haven't gotten around to reading the IPCC reports because they haven't finished announcing all of Monckton's roight honowwable titles aloud.
#49 frank October 16, 2009
The "number of scientists" thing is an area which both sides have problems with.Steven Schneider admitted that only 400 of the 2500 IPCC people were really climate scientists,and the Oregon petittion is really only meant to demonstrate that there is no 'consensus'.It is not about the science.
#50 Eli Rabett October 16, 2009
Well, since the 2.5K included such luminaries as Steve McIntyre, Vincent Gray, Monckton, Richard Courtney and other expert reviewers, gotta say frank has a point.
#51 Mark October 16, 2009
However, frank, the veracity of the IPCC report doesn't rely solely on the number of people reviewing, unlike (say) the Oregon Petition for denialists.
The petition doesn't HAVE any science. All it has is the number of signees.
Take that away and the oregon petition (and all its vampiric children in whatever name they use) has nothing.
Take 2500 reviewers from the IPCC report and you still have the science.
#52 sod October 16, 2009
hurry over to WattsUp, and his read laudation for the Lord, titled ["Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen, Claims British Lord Monckton"](http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/16/obama-poised-to-cede-us-sovereignty-in-copenhagen-claims-british-lord-monckton/)
of course including:
Lord Christopher Monckton, former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher…
and some birth certificate myths:
would [Obama's potential illegitimacy as president] give us a reasonable cause to nullify whatever treaty that he does sign as president?
if that is not insane enough for you, take a look at the "confirmations" in the treaty, for the claims that Monckton made about it:
World Government (heading added) (a) The government will be ruled by the COP with the support of a new subsidiary body on adaptation, and of an Executive Board responsible for the management of the new funds and the related facilitative processes and bodies. The current Convention secretariat will operate as such, as appropriate.
To Redistribute Wealth (heading added) b) The Convention's financial mechanism will include a multilateral climate change fund including five windows: (a) an Adaptation window, (b) a Compensation window, to address loss and damage from climate change impacts [read: the "climate debt" Monckton refers to], including insurance, rehabilitation and compensatory components, © a Technology window; (d) a Mitigation window; and (e) a REDD window, to support a multi-phases process for positive forest incentives relating to REDD actions.
With Enforcement Authority (heading added) © The Convention's facilitative mechanism will include: (a) work programmes for adaptation and mitigation; (b) a long-term REDD process; © a short-term technology action plan; (d) an expert group on adaptation established by the subsidiary body on adaptation, and expert groups on mitigation, technologies and on monitoring, reporting and verification; and (e) an international registry for the monitoring, reporting and verification of compliance of emission reduction commitments, and the transfer of technical and financial resources from developed countries to developing countries. The secretariat will provide technical and administrative support, including a new centre for information exchange [read; enforcement].
isn t it just wonderful, how those "added" headlines directly follow from the real text in the treaty?
#53 sod October 16, 2009
i want to add (for once) a positive remark about "sceptics": even many of the Wuwt readers are pointing out, that Monckton and his ramblings are rubbish.
unfortunetly, Roy Spencer is not among those:
Roy Spencer (05:49:10) : "conspiracy" is such an emotional term. Why not "concerted plan" instead?
#54 frank October 16, 2009
Yes true,the only point I am making is that we have to be careful of all the numbers that are being thrown around,ecspecially in the media.Speaking of which the 'scientific' reviewers of the SPM is a lot less than 2500.Not true?
#55 Mark October 16, 2009
But the point to take is that the *science* in the IPCC has been reviewed.
If the work and honest of those reviewers are not accepted then the "skeptic" should look at the science and review it themselves.
However, given that there are still massive numbers of "skeptics" who do not believe the review process *still* go on about "Why does the IPCC say only CO2 is the problem? They just ignore everything else and that's why this AGW is a scam!". Since the IPCC report has a complete Chapter on attribution and even reading the "contents" section would show this, they haven't trusted the reviews but do not want to review it themselves either.
#56 Mark October 16, 2009
Nail has a NEW!!! "paper" on his site, apologies for bringing him back on here, but it does work with sod's post here.
It seems like some denialists are too much even for WUWT (so I guess I'd better dial back my disgust at the moderators on there at least). From his paper he proclaims science blogs have not a jot of science. Even WUWT:
> One of our staff members was offended and banned by the owner of a well known "scientific" blog (Watts Up With That or WUWT) just for having quoted from a book on Radiative Heat Transfer, exposing the pseudoscience expressed by one of his moderators, called "Phil." The owner of the blog got extremely furious at our colleague, and insulted him by saying that his science was ridiculous (even when he had cited exactly the words of Dr. Modest which had been taken from his book on Radiative Heat Transfer
Though this may be more that Nail slammed WUWT, at least they show they know anti-science when it's aimed at them. And there's the hope that they know it in other cases.
#57 sod October 16, 2009
just funny to watch: Anthony has removed a lot of the "birther" remarks, and updated the original post, claiming that Monckton "refuted" the birther question.
[Update: this section on a question from an attendee to the presentation has been removed from this WUWT article because even though Monckton clearly refuted it, it is turning into a debate over presidential eligibility that I don't want at WUWT. If you want to see it and discuss it. Do it at the original blog entry Fightin' Words – Anthony]
but löooking at the exchange, that is not how i would describe what Monckton did:
Question: Is it really irrevocable if that treaty is signed? Suppose it's signed by someone who does not have the authority, as I – I have some, a high degree of skepticism that we do have a valid president there because I –
I know at least one judge who shares your opinion, sir, yes.
I don't believe it until I see it. … Would [Obama's potential illegitimacy as president] give us a reasonable cause to nullify whatever treaty that he does sign as president?
I would be very careful not to rely on things like that. Although there is a certain amount of doubt whether or not he was born in Hawaii, my fear is it would be very difficult to prove he wasn't born in Hawaii and therefore we might not be able to get anywhere with that. Besides, once he's signed that treaty, whether or not he signed it validly, once he's signed it and ratified it – your Senate ratifies it – you're bound by it. But I will say one thing; they know, in the White House, that they won't be able to get the 67 votes in the Senate, the two-thirds majority that your Constitution has stipulated must be achieved in order to ratify a treaty of this kind. However, what they've worked out is this – and they actually let it slip during the election campaign, which is how I know about it. They plan to enact that Copenhagen treaty into legislation by a simple majority of both houses. That they can do. But the virtue of that – and here you have a point – is that is, thank God, reversible. So I want you to pray tonight, and pray hard for your Senate that they utterly refuse to ratify the [new] Treaty of Copenhagen, because if they refuse to ratify it and [Obama] has to push it through as domestic legislation, you can repeal it.
"clearly refute" does sound different in my part of the (real) world. what Monckton said was: "YES". and "there is a certain amount of doubt whether or not he was born in Hawaii".
nut hey, that could be just me…
#58 sod October 16, 2009
oh and watch Anthony's logic:
Even so, I think we have a better track records here of posting alternate viewpoints than RC, "Open Mind", or Climate Progress. WUWT's traffic certainly beats all of those so I must be doing something right. – Anthony

When I first saw posts by such as GM Bird, Hissink, and Dash Riprock, I also assumed they were parodies. Not so: reality is weirder than anything we can imagine.
#61 sod October 16, 2009
ouch. a guy at WUWT has posted a link to the youtube video of the Monckton speech.
you should take a look at the Lord, if you never saw him speak before.
funny start: Lord Monckton is opening his speech with a joke about a hawaiian birth certificate. (about 2 minutes into the video)
so much for "debunking" it.
#62 sod October 16, 2009
i urge you all to watch at least the first 10 minutes of the video (if you can bear it). i promise an awful lot of comical moments.

#68 sod October 17, 2009
the video is now showing a link to the [Monckton presentation.](http://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/monckton_2009.pdf)
it includes about every false statement on climate, that a denialist can bring up. (and of course all the Monckton stuff about DDT, HIV, …) of course most people wouldn t use 174 slides for a 90 minutes presentation, but hey…
the video is really hard to watch. Monckton is constantly doing weird voices and the way in which he is pointing out his personal contributions to destroy the AGW myth is embarassing.
#69 P. Lewis October 17, 2009
Hee, hee.
It sounds like the guy doing the intro says "3rd Discount Monckton …" after about 20 seconds.
I guess he's mispronouncing Viscount. Perhaps someone with better hearing than me could confirm that. On the other hand …
#70 Mark October 17, 2009
Yup, he's anglicising the french/latin pronounciation.
Vie count
Viz count
The MC does the latter.
Mind you, his nose is so far up Monckton's arse it's no wonder he can't get the words out clearly…
#71 Deech56 October 17, 2009
The WUWT thread has brought up almost every crackpot idea under the sun (although the mods stopped at our President being JFK's secret love child – think about that for a minute). This is just the tip of the crazy-berg that we will be seeing over the next year or so. One can see this in the reaction to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the conservative Republican co-wrote an editorial with Sen. John Kerry, and who faced hostility at a town meeting in his home state: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP7nCyqMTsE.
In the U.S. there is a core of right-wingers who see themselves as 1776 revolutionaries fighting against the tyranny of Federal, UN and One World rule. They see action to prevent disastrous climate change as a campaign to take away people's rights and cede sovereignty to the UN (the IPCC is not recognized as a scientific body, but as a political body). I don;t know whether it's a feeling of powerlessness (demographics in the U.S. are shifting) or reflected anger at the effects of globalization, or what, but there is an anger out there.
The WUWT thread has allowed for the expression of the politics of the site's readers, and has given a glimpse of what lies behind the scientific arguments made there. How does one have a rational, scientific argument with a birther? It's like a car wreck you can't turn away from.
#72 TrueSceptic October 17, 2009
It's weird that some posters at TWatts have only just realised how many RW nutters inhabit the place.
PeterT (01:23:49) :
Blimey!! I don't think this is a very good look for those good people who want to question the science of AGW, as a matter of fact I don't want to be associated with someone who is starting to sound like a shrill political conspiratorial nutter, leave that rubbish to the other side and stick with the science.
Jackbequick (06:07:44) :
I read this blog looking for something to balance the global warming debate for me. From the questions you put as relevant I have to ask, are you a birther? If so it gives me great pause at taking this site seriously.
John Egan (06:26:39) :
I cannot believe that you would reprint this garbage – even as a quote.
If you wish to tailspin into the "Birther" movement that is, certainly, your prerogative, but you will lose all legitimacy in the larger political and scientific community. One of the essential problems about political polarization in this country is the inability of the extreme right to accept the legitimate electoral results of the American people. If such sentiment is represented here – then there really is no possibility of discourse.
Kum Dollison (08:28:36) :
I, also, am dismayed that WUWT would post this article.
If I were a first-time visitor to WUWT I would, immediately, come to the conclusion that WUWT is just another ill-informed, nutter outfit, and I would leave, and not come back.
John Egan (10:15:05) :
Anthony –
I have no problems with you removing the materials from the article in question and the comments – in fact, I welcome it. I recognize that I am in a small minority at this website with regards to my political affiliations. And, trust me, I am in an even smaller minority when I question AGW orthodoxy at other websites.
But, if this website is to focus primarily on issues of climate – and, specifically, on rigorous verification of climate change research findings, then it would be to the benefit of those skeptical of AGW to have a site which is not entirely exclusionary of those from the political left.
Dan (10:37:35) :
Well, this has been interesting. At this point, I have questions about the rationality of many of the posters and therefore of the science that I have seen expoused on thissite. Very revealing.
tolkein (13:02:47) :
I'm sorry, but when I read about doubts about the legitimacy of the President and stuff about Hawaii, I switched off. Monckton might or might not be wrong. His analysis might be correct. All I read is the right wing equivalent of 9//11 truthers. I read WUWT pretty well every day, but I won't if it becomes an outpost of wingnuts.
Dirk M (15:02:45) :
Well I haven't read all comments but I'm sure I've read enough and while WUWT is one of the best blogs when it comes to challenging AGW I think I'll pass if this is going to set a new trend. Most posters in this thread are a bunch of crackpots who are pretty much just as bad as the AGW scaremongers.
And this one is just hilarious.
gtrip (21:24:21) :
Typical. I actually think that Anthony may have posted this to "out" the nuts that post on this blog and show them for what they are.
#73 Mark October 17, 2009
I think Jackbequick's post is quite indicative of how lost some people are.
Why does *everything* have to have "a balance"?
We don't request a balance to the idea that "apple" is spelt that way, or that adding two an three creates five.
And if everything DOES have a balance, well, why complain about those who balance "The US public voted for him" with people who say "He's an illegal alien and therefore not president"?
It's not that Obama is illegitimately president that's wrong with jack, but the idea that there's another side to AGW and it's represented by the deniers.
#74 TrueSceptic October 17, 2009
151 Mark,
Quite. Does anyone demand a "balance" in "debates" about evolution, relativity, or quantum mechanics?
Actually, yes, some do, but we know what sort of types they are.
#75 Mark October 17, 2009
The problem is that these people don't realise that the balance they are looking for (if they are honestly looking for the issues and uncertainties) are not in WUWT, but in the IPCC report itself.
They're at best assuming that the IPCC is as biased as WUWT and assuming that since WUWT is telling them the IPCC is wrong that they must be the "balance".
#76 dhogaza October 17, 2009
Best post yet from that WUWT: Monckton is actually on *our* side, not theirs!
Quick analysis of Monkton, can he be trusted?:
0 K being absolute zero,
Oxygen is ice below 54.36 K
Nitrogen is ice below 63.15 K
CO2 is ice below 194.65 K
Which of these three gasses is the LEAST POWERFUL absorber of heat?
Answer: CO2 by a long way. N and O are both four times more powerful at absorbing heat than CO2.
Oxygen and Nitrogen together make up 99% of the atmosphere.
CO2 makes up only 0.03811%.
How much will CO2 influence atmospheric temperature compared to Oxygen and Nitrogen combined?
Answer: Compared with N and O the influence of CO2 on atmospheric temperatures at these levels is totally insignificant. In other words CO2 has no baring on atmospheric temperature worth talking about.
Do you think Monkton is ignorant of these facts?
Answer: Of course not.
Monkton has danced a merry dance around these simple truths which if he had addressed from the start would have sunk this AGW fraud many years ago.
Conclusion: Monkton is a New World Order Gatekeeper.
Poe or schmoe? How can one tell?
#77 Mark October 17, 2009
> Poe or schmoe? How can one tell?
> Posted by: dhogaza
There's often a quote given to "absolve" the idiots or greedy:
"Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence".
However, why?
In fact, why is incompetence on the part of the powerful and influential better than malice on their part?
A malicious money grabber will be caught and malice means justice gets a look-in. I.e. punishment.
But if they are incompetent, at *best* on being caught they will be let go. Most likely, especially if influential, given a huge golden parachute (more lost money). And may, it seems nowadays certain, given a more influential post instead.
Malice can also fade. People have had a change of heart. I don't know many people who had a change of brain…
It looks to me like it's better to have malice as the reason than stupidity.
Of course in the numbnut you quote, there's a lot of both. But more malice. After all, they looked up the freezing point of all this, so were not ignorant.
#78 Hank Roberts October 17, 2009
If Monckton had his way, these people would run the country, and the Tories would be very, very happy:
#79 Deech56 October 17, 2009
The paranoia is all over:
The more one hears from far-right activists about their fears and beliefs, the more it seems as if there's a parallel universe of sorts that doesn't quite line up well with our own…As David Corn added, these Republicans believe there's an "underground movement" assembling to resist the coming dictatorship, and believe Fox News and the Tea Parties are "manifestations of this nascent uprising."
#80 Ed Darrell October 19, 2009
Somebody ought to follow Monckton on his tour. Every stop his exaggerations get wilder and wilder.
In Minneapolis, for example, DDT won the Nobel Peace Prize, and DDT had got the malaria death rate down to just 50,000 a year!
No, I'm not making that up:
#81 sod October 20, 2009
interesting swing of events:
just after publishing a new Monckton piece, including his absurd DDT comments, WATTSUP has a new piece, "taking apart" a scientific paper, showing a hockey stick form in a arctic proxy.
[the research shows a drop in cold sensitive mosquito-like midges in recent years.](http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/10/19/proof-that-media-is-hyping-agw-shamelessly-with-asking-basic-questions-like-did-you-check-the-lake-for-ddt/)
WATTSUP and the regulars, being a group of people with strong scientific principles, have come up with an ad hoc explanation: DDT.
so small globally circulating remains of DDT, which Monckton just described as a harmless thing, that was unfortunetly banned by some communists, has eraticated midges in the arctic. sounds great, doesn t it?
#82 dhogaza October 20, 2009
Sod, you're making my head hurt. Combine that with the fact that previously worthless, unreliable tree rings now "prove" that GCRs, not CO2, drive climate change and … wow … impressive, no?
#83 sod October 20, 2009
well, to stop me from keeping too confused, i always repeat their basic principle:
science that supports AGW: bad and false
science that (seems to) support denialist positions: good and true!
if you stick to this, everything starts making sense: the banned but harmless DDT kills midges in the arctic? of course!
all tree rings show the same growth, because cosmic rays (responsible for the recent global warming, ehm, cooling) are of course the same everywhere? makes perfect sense!

Within the remarks seen here, over and over and over, where is the proof he is wrong about his message,,,I understand the problems you elitists get so up tight about, ( who went to the best school, who didnt, who has a better grip on the subject) and by the way, the subject is not who he advised or how, where he had access to or didnt, BUT As I see it, Global Warming and does it or does it not exist as a problem..
Yes the globe gets warm, every morning the sun comes up somewhere and the Earth gets warmed, I sorta like that arrangement, But to claim we will soon be under water because we melted all our ice, is just a money making premise that people like Gore use to live on… Some say there has been no warming in the past 10 to 12 years, depending where you read it…I just moved back to the US from Mexico, where in the last 3 years, the fruit crops froze and we now see many of the growers giving up and just digging up trees to plant chili. All I heard was, Send me some of that global warming PLEASE…

OK, Ed D wins, thousands of hard-working, highly-trained scientists are wrong.
Phew, glad we solved this global warming problem so easily …
#86 Fran Barlow October 24, 2009
Phew, glad we solved this global warming problem so easily
Quite right Dog. It's amazing how such apparently complex problems can be resolved with a couple of well chosen references to Al Gore and the conditions for fruit growing in California. You do know the Vikings grew grapes don't you?
Now, if only the problems associated with constantly rising 30-year average temperatures, disappearing sea-ice extent, decomposition of the permafrost, disappearance of snowpack, loss of habitat, loss of variuous tropical and temperate forests, increasingly acid seas and so forth could be dismissed with the same ease, my day would be err … much sunnier.

You know what I haven't seen as I've reviewed these posts? I haven't seen one single refutation of a fact he's put forth on his tour by anyone in this group.
Take your hands away from covering your eyes, then.
What? You aren't using your hands?
In that case, slowly pull your head out . . .
#88 Ed Darrell December 19, 2009
But to claim we will soon be under water because we melted all our ice, is just a money making premise that people like Gore use to live on.
How much money can you document that Gore is making from the Maldive Islands?
If you're certain there's no threat from warming, why not invest in beachfront property there, now? It will pay off big, when the Maldives don't sink.

The Jamendo widget turns over a whole new leaf!
Published on October 7 2013
For those who are familiar with the Jamendo widget and frequently use it, you are in for a surprise: the Jamendo widget has been entirely reshaped to meet your greatest expectations when it comes to listening and sharing your favorite music outside of Jamendo.com!
You can now choose from 2 different layouts: "Standard" is classic-but-larger format, while "Cover" brings out the artwork of the album or song played. It is, of course, customizable; you are able to choose the theme colors, the size, the number of tracks displayed, etc. If you want to share more, you can tweet or post on Facebook right from the widget.
Take advantage of it and share an album, a single track or infinite playlists! We hope you'll enjoy the facelift!

And then I saw these amazing (freakingly fantastical fantabulousness all around) cards from the Tiddly Inkers...ackk, they are so cool. LOL
I have to show them off again. :)
Thanks ladies for making something special just for me! :)
My hubby and I don't ususally swap gifts, but we do try to include our daughter in picking out something for each other (our birthdays are only 10 days apart) or in making something, so this year, they decided to make me a laptop cake (I think that is a statement on how much time I spend on the computer LOL). And how do I know that they are doing that? Well, Little Bit DIDN'T tell me. LOL Well, sorta...
We were getting in the car about 2 weeks ago and this is how I DIDN'T find out about my cake:
LB: Mom, we are going to make you a secret cake. But I am not going to tell you what it is.
ME: Oh, sounds cool. I can't wait to see it.
LB: [she waits about 10 seconds and then the hands go up in the air and her face lights up] *REALLY loud* It's a laptop cake!!! hehehe But don't tell Daddy I told you.
So color me super surprised on Saturday (when we are actually celebrating my birthday this year) when I cut into a laptop cake. I also am not supposed to know that I am getting something blue, or that it is an animal...hmmmm, wonder how I figured that out. LOL
"Mommmmm, I am not telling you what it is, but....."

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying someone connected with a recent theft in the county.
Detectives have submitted two photos, one they are describing as "a person of interest," and the other photo is of the suspect's vehicle.
The theft occurred in the early morning hours of June 8 at the Tower Heights Subdivision, east of Shelbyville, and involved a theft from a vehicle.
A credit card was stolen and was used that same morning, mostly in the Frankfort area.
Information is being sought about a burglary at a residence last week in which several items were stolen.
On June 10, between noon and 2 p.m., someone broke into a home on the 1000 block of Summerfield Drive by forcing open the front door, police say.
The intruder stole camera equipment, jewelry, a laptop computer, a musical instrument, a coin collection and a handgun.
The thief also took the homeowner's military medals, awarded for service in Iraq, including a Bronze Star.
James W. Devore III, 18, of 5136 Bell Ave. in Shelbyville was arrested May 19 on Boone Station Road and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, first offense, no license in possession and careless driving.
On May 19, Sharon Farris (third from left) graduated from Shelby County Drug Court. She is shown here with C.L. Jordan, recovery coordinator (left), Elizabeth M. Nichols, program supervisor (second from left), Judge Charles R. Hickman, drug court judge (second from right) and Tonya Leathers, case specialist (right).
Chip Minnis sat in the room where he once spent second grade Wednesday and unwittingly wrote a chapter in history.
Minnis, a lifelong resident of Simpsonville, was approved by the Simpsonville City Commission as the city's new police chief, succeeding Scott Chappell.
But the appointment of Minnis, 50, is a little bit bigger than just a change at the top of the city's law enforcement: He becomes the first African-American to head a department of any kind in the history of the city.
LAWRENCEBURG – Moments away from being sentenced to 70 years in prison, Gary Bancroft listened as family members of the woman he murdered had their say.
Then Bancroft did the unthinkable: He smiled.
That momentary smirk nearly ignited an already tension-wracked courtroom as deputies and family members had to restrain the slain woman's father after he rose to his feet and yelled at Bancroft.
Alcohol Intoxication
Ramon Hernandez Becerra, 40, of an unknown address in Shelbyville was arrested May 18 at Main and 8th streets and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, first and second offense.
Jose Ronmeti Galo, 18, of 504 Midland Blvd. in Shelbyville was arrested May 20 at 310 Midland Blvd. and charged with no operator's license, no insurance and failure to register the transfer of a vehicle.
No one was injured in an early morning accident in Simpsonville on Thursday, when the back end of a tractor-trailer flipped over on Interstate 64.
Walter Jones, administrative assistant for the Simpsonville Fire Department, said he did not know the name of the truck driver, and he did not know what caused him to lose control to the point of flipping.

When you're an amateur it's often the simple things that stump you. I've installed a cedar ceiling in my bathroom -- I did a nice job and it looks great. The cedar is 5/16ths and I used a 1/4 inch strapping, so I'm 9/16ths lower than the old original drywall ceiling. The final step in this project is to re-install the exhaust fan grille but the darned wire spring-clip thingies are too darned short. The grille won't go in far enough to allow the spring action to pull it up; instead it gets pushed out and refuses to do anything but hang about a half-inch below the ceiling. Grr! This second-floor bathroom was newly-constructed a few years ago and the contractor did a great job of sealing everything very nicely -- I'm not thrilled about moving the fan down a half-inch or so. How does one deal with something like this, short of installing the grille to the ceiling with screws or something drastic like that. Thanks very much for the help.
its pretty easy to fix. Just rebend the wires until you get the slope in the correct spot to pull it up instead of down!

MVPD spokesman Sgt. Dan Vicencio said 50 houses and apartments were broken into between January and April. There were only 31 residential burglaries over the same four-month period last year.
"That's a 61-percent increase," Vicencio said, adding that the increase in break-ins is "significant." Over the past five years, on average, there have only been 35 burglaries between January and April.
The department only had official numbers through April of this year. But looking at data from CrimeReports.com, which tracks police activity in cities all over the country, it appears that the trend will continue through May.
According to the crime-tracking website, from January to April there were approximately 14 home break-ins reported per month. This month, as of May 24, the website shows there have been 21 reported burglaries and attempted burglaries of local houses and apartments.
Vicencio said there is no clear reason for the increase in home burglaries. However, he said, whenever there is an increase in home break-ins, the department's detectives pay attention. "When we have a jump this significant, we take a look at it."
Commercial burglaries do not appear to be trending up or down.

Scripture… As We Live It Book Project
Just over three years ago, I started a series on this blog called "Scripture… As We Live It." Over the last three years (164 weeks actually), I've written 164 posts in that series – one per week – by far the longest-running series on my blog.
(If you're not familiar with the series, and if you're not interested in clicking the link above, then I'll give a short explanation. In each "Scripture… As We Live It" post, I take a passage of Scripture – usually one verse – and modify it by deleting some text and adding other text so that the "re-mixed" passage looks more like the way we actually "live" it today.)
Since I started the series, several people have encouraged me to publish "Scripture… As We Live It." You know who you are. I weighed the options for a couple of years, then I finally approached a publisher a few months ago.
I decided to talk with Henry at Energion Publications about a possible book project based on this series. I talked with Henry for several reasons: 1) I already had a relationship with him because I've reviewed several books for Energion. 2) I've heard very good things about Henry and Energion, especially from Dave Black. 3) I liked Energion's mission statement.
After talking about the concept of "Scripture… As We Live It," we decided to proceed with the project. So, if things go as planned, Energion Publications will publish my book based on the "Scripture… As We Live It" series sometime in early 2012.
The goal is to include 140 re-mixed passages divided into several categories. Each passage will be accompanied by a short commentary and very specific illustrations and applications. Plus, there will be discussion questions included for each category of Scripture passages.
Some of the categories will be faith, love, service, unity, church, worship, church leaders, and church gatherings. There will probably be about 15 categories, with an equal number of passages in each category.
I hope that this book will help Jesus' followers recognize that what we say about Scripture often does not line up with how we live. I think the format of the book – being somewhat unique – will offer people a different way of looking at the subject.
I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions about this project.

I think this is a great idea! Especially with the discussion questions.
I am pumped for you. This will be a fun project.
Please have a zombie reference in it 🙂
This is great news. I'm excited for you.
Great stuff! I trust it will help people to be careful regarding their reading, and understanding, of what Scripture actually says.
I look forward to reading your new book! You bring a lot of insight to people, and that is a special gift! Congratulations!
Congratulations! I'll be among your first customers.
Here is one that has been rolling around in my mind lately. Not sure if you have something similar already.
Joh 15:13 No one has greater love than this — that one lays down his life for his church organization.
Alan, Please keep me posted along with everyone else. I am going to buy this when it published and will use it at church. I was already thinking about how much I love these posts and all the places I could "use" them for the profit of God's people. For sure on my must buy list. Thank you.

A machine that could mean the difference between life and death has been installed in Morley's Asda for the use of the whole community.
A defibrillator was welcomed into the store last week as part of Asda's promise of ensuring each of its stores around the country have one on site.
It's working in conjunction with the British Heart Foundation to see that staff are trained to use the lifesaving equipment.
The partnership sees the supermarket become the UK's first large retailer to commit to having CPR trained staff and a public access defibrillator in every store.
The public access defibrillator can be used by anyone to deliver an electric shock to the heart when someone is having a cardiac arrest.
Community champion Maxine Green said: "It's not just for the store but for the whole community to take advantage of.
"If anybody is in need of the machine then it's here, waiting to be used."
Staff at Asda have been trained on the defibrillator, which Maxine said was surprisingly easy to use.
"It can make all the difference if someone either in store or in the local community falls ill," she said.
"There is a step-by-step guide on how to use it and it is made simple by following the instructions."
Asda will roll out the defibrillators in its 609 stores, warehouses and offices by the end of 2014.
The British Heart Foundation is working with local ambulance trusts to run familiarisation training for 12,000 Asda colleagues on how to use the defibrillators.


text: What's the most straightforward way to count, say, the number of 1s or Trues in the array? Or the number of any integer? I was surprised to discover recently that there isn't a count() method as there is for Python lists. Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I'm wondering if there's a reason for its absence. I came across a thread in March: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/numpy-discussion/3066460 that talked a bit about this in terms of speed, but what about just the convenience of having a count() method? Looks like masked arrays have a count method, don't know much about them though. Also, I understand the inaccuracies when converting between binary and decimal floating point representations, and therefore making counting of a specific float value in an array somewhat undefined, yet it seems to work in Python lists: >>> 1.1 1.1000000000000001 >>> a=[1.1, 1.1, 1.2] >>> a [1.1000000000000001, 1.1000000000000001, 1.2] >>> a.count(1.1) 2 >>> a.count(1.1000000000000001) 2 >>> a.count(1.2) 1 Comments?

We recently told you about a new project Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was focused on, a documentary telling the tale of the legendary and recently-shuttered Sound City studios in Los Angeles. First impressions of the idea were exciting, but didn't prepare for just how deep Grohl had dug into his rock star rolodex for the film.
Now that a trailer has arrived, we're picking our jaws off the floor as the contributing names and faces roll across the frame: Trent Reznor, Joshua Homme, Mick Fleetwood, Tom Petty, Lars Ulrich, Krist Novoselic, Alain Johannes, Chris Goss, Cheap Trick, Corey Taylor, Stephen Pearcy and many, many more. Watch the trailer below to learn more:
"When Sound City closed last year it was a very sad day," Dave recently explained. "That place was like a church. The list of people that recorded there is like a virtual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We recorded Nevermind there back in 1991. That funky old place had the best drum room in the world. The drum sound at the beginning of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit?' That's Sound City. I decided to make a film about that feeling when you put five guys in a room, hit 'record' and the hair on the back of your neck stands up. Expect some epic jam sessions."
We'll keep you posted on screening and further involvement details for the Sound City film project as they arise – this doesn't seem like something any of us are going to want to miss.
Meanwhile, Grohl and his Foo Fighters are nominated for six Grammy awards, including Album of The Year for Wasting Light. Dave announced on the Foos' official blog that he has already started compiling ideas for new Foos material, as well. He wrote: "We're not finished yet. There are still more shows to play, more songs to write, more albums to record, for years to come. I mean if you would have told me 17 years ago that in 2012 I would be writing songs for our eighth studio album… well."

As McSwain attrits, what's next for U-T?
More Chicago layoffs and "cognitive decline" in San Diego gnaw on tronc
Matt Potter 11 a.m., Sept. 19
Well....its the story of that life changing year I spent hanging around the hospital fighting to recover .... So above is a cherry tree branch (cherry tree symbolizes death and rebirth) that holds a gong ( that calls together people) the gong is a salamander ( courage, renew, resurrection, balance) the writing in the middle is Korean for han ( han culturally is a complex set of emotions tied to suffering and the desire to persevere) and below that are the earths elements of land water and fire. a samurai sword its tip wrapped hangs to the right ready to bang the gong as it did once before…… So a jumbled up set of circumstances and a desire to have the tale told not only by the scars but this tattoo made me do it….

Co-creating nano-imaginaries
In the first phase of the research project Nanotechnologies for tomorrow's society (www.nanosoc.be), the research consortium explored a variety of futuristic visions or techno-scientific imaginaries. This exploration took the form a Policy Delphi, adapted to the particular objective of jointly constructing nano-imaginaries, taking participants 'personal' visions of possible future applications and societal issues as a starting point. The participants were nano-researchers, as well as societal experts and primary involved citizens. In this article we describe the theoretical frame which inspired our methodological approach, we present the analytical results we obtained, and we bring some reflections to the fore that arose as a result of the performance and analysis of this Delphi-exercise.
