Why I Call It Murder
I want to briefly revisit the Saddleback forum that took place between Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. One of the most important questions asked by Pastor Rick Warren was when should an unborn child receive rights as a human being.
To recap; Sen. McCain answered that an unborn child receives rights "at conception". Senator Obama stated that the answer to that question is "above his pay grade"; I personally believe every moral decision is above our pay grade as humans.
Because of my strong conviction to my faith I am unapologetically pro-life. I believe that a baby should be considered a human being at conception. Actually based on the Bible, it probably is before conception. God told Jeremiah that "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee" (Jeremiah 1:5). Obviously that is something that we couldn't even begin to regulate.
These types of decisions are well above anyone of our "pay grades" which is why Christians are to lean on the authority of scriptures. The Bible shows us that life begins at conception; I believe that after conception our choices cease.
I also believe that anyone who shares the view that life begins at conception has an obligation to speak out against the horrible and barbaric practice that we have allowed to take place in this country since 1973. I believe that people have a certain amount of choice with what they do with their bodies. I said a certain amount because we even limit what an individual can do to their own bodies. In most places around the country suicide is illegal. If we can tell someone not to take their own life why is it ok for them to end the life of a child?
Proverbs 6:16-23 says that God "hates" hands that shed innocent blood. I cannot think of any more innocent life than an unborn child. Since 1973 when Roe vs. Wade was passed into law, over 40million babies have been legally murdered. On the average 4,000 infants a day are killed here in the US.
Let's look at why abortions Are Performed in the US*:
The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control. Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest; 1% because of fetal abnormalities; 3% due to the mother's health problems.
Reasons Women Choose Abortion (U.S.)
• Wants to postpone childbearing: 25.5% • Wants no (more) children: 7.9% • Cannot afford a baby: 21.3% • Having a child will disrupt education or job: 10.8% • Has relationship problem or partner does not want pregnancy: 14.1% • Too young; parent(s) or other(s) object to pregnancy: 12.2% • Risk to maternal health: 2.8% • Risk to fetal health: 3.3% • Other: 2.1%
Should these be considered valid reasons to kill an unborn child?
I am amazed at how we, as a country, maintain a welfare system that helps make provision for people who cannot provide for themselves. We give away millions of dollars in aid around the world. PETA even fights for the rights of animals. But why aren't more people fighting for the unborn child? Why is it that the people who protest about the treatment of dogs and cats, or who hold huge rallies to save the planet aren't more boisterous in speaking out against the murder of unborn babies?
To take this a step further, not only do we allow for pre-born babies to be murdered early in a pregnancy, we even allow late term abortions. In most late term abortions the mother's labor is induced, the physician performing this procedure pulls the baby's head out of the mother, then injects saline solution in to the baby or simply decapitates the child. How can we think think that this is ok with God? Do we not believe that at some point we will be held accountable for allowing this to be legal? Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7)
I implore anyone that has a heart to defend those who cannot defend themselves to rise up and let your voices be heard. Let's end the barbaric murder of the unborn child in the US.
In the book of Genesis when Cain killed his brother Abel, God tells Cain that Abel's blood was crying out from the ground (Genesis 4:10). I can just imagine what the sound of the cries of 40 million unborn babies must sound like to God.

The magic number is down to two. One win for the Cubs…one loss for the Brewers. That's it. That's all that is standing between the Cubs and a repeat title in the National League Central. 151 games played. 92 won. 59 lost. And at home, a record of 53-25. Tomorrow at Wrigley they get another opportunity to celebrate on the home field, for the 54th time this season…and if accompanied by a Brewers loss…this celebration will come with the division and another trip to the postseason…another chance to get to and win the World Series.
Zambrano is on the mound tomorrow. Last time out we all know what happened. Lilly and company nearly repeated the feat the next day. The chances of that were ridiculous low. The odds on Zambrano coming out and throwing another no-hitter are so stacked against the ace, it's seriously ridiculous to even discuss it.
The Cardinals are trying to make headway in the wild card race so they'll be a team that will fight through the game and no matter what kind of lead the Cubs get on them early in the game, they won't go away easily. The Cubs will have to come out strong and not let up the whole game. Exactly the way Piniella has preached for September and October to go if they're going to finish this thing the way we all hope they do. To get a victory like today's and not capitalize on the opportunity it presents would be a shame.
When I lost my internet connection while watching today's game on-line, the Cubs were down 5-2 and it wasn't looking good. I assumed we'd be stuck at four games at the end of the day and look to move forward with the countdown tomorrow. When I got the text message that said the Cubs won 7-6 I couldn't believe it. I saw Ramirez go deep earlier in the game. The guy has been a part of so many clutch moments this year, its a shame his stats aren't better overall or I'd consider him someone with great chances to be the Cubs and the NL's MVP.
My favorite part aside from the simple fact that they won is the fact that a young player in Soto was the guy who stepped up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to deliver the game tying three run blast. He was the NL's starting catcher in the All-Star game, has handled the staff well this season and has clearly made an impact on this year's team. It's good to see him keep that momentum going in clutch moments such as today. The more the merrier and we're going to need everybody flying on all cylinders in order to have a chance at beating the ghosts of Cubs past this October.
Of course the guy who is favored to be the NL MVP this season is Pujols and he'll be a bat we'll need to keep under control tomorrow if we're going to do our part in obtaining a chance to clinch on Friday. Another title, another win closer to retaining the best record in the National League and home field through the NLCS potentially and the chance to do it all at home is on the line tomorrow. One more win from the Cubs…and of course one more loss from the Brewers. Voluntarily or not…sure would be great if all parties involved would corporate tomorrow. What do you say Brewers? Feel like losing to the Reds tomorrow? C'mon…you know you do…
…please? GO CUBS GO!!!

The topic of raising chickens rarely comes up in a normal conversation… but if it does, whenever we tell people we have chickens we're bombarded with a ton of questions. Why? Is it hard to take care of them? What do you feed them? How many eggs do they lay? Steve talked about getting chickens for awhile but I kept telling him he was crazy, that is until we visited his brother who had a whole bunch of them running around his property. They were so cute and Amelia had a blast chasing them around. So one Saturday about a year ago when I was at a wedding, Steve took Amelia to pick out a few little chicks.
Steve was going to put up a simple coop but after a little bit of googling, I found a much cuter option. So he got to building and now our chicks have a sweet place to sleep at night! They're super easy to take care of, just make sure they have fresh water and food — we shut up the coop at night (especially after a possum attack on one of the girls, no worries she survived), and let them out during the day to peck around and give themselves dirt baths. They lay one egg per day (can you imagine?!) but they go through resting periods too. It's crazy when they are all laying and we have 5 fresh eggs a day! Let's just say we eat a lot of omelets and make tons of wasabi deviled eggs, yum. My favorite is when they hop up next to the window outside our sunroom and peer inside, they're curious little birds and so cute. So to answer another common question… no, we will never eat them. : )

BOISE — Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter says May is the month to protect the 2nd Amendment — and a perfect time to urge arms and ammunition makers to set up shop in Idaho.
The Republican governor issued the proclamation Monday that touts Idaho's reputation as a gun-friendly state and the perfect environment for the firearms industry.
The Department of Commerce tag-teamed with the governor, issuing its own press release touting the state's gun credentials and statutory protections. Agency officials say Idaho is already home to more than 180 companies that manufacture custom firearms, aftermarket parts and specialized ammunition.
Otter spokesman Jon Hanian says the idea was solely the governor's and something he wanted to do. Hanian says Otter wanted to make sure industry officials knew Idaho has thrown down the "welcome mat."

Gardening as marathon
The score, after a marathon gardening weekend:
27 hours with my hands in the dirt — shoveling, planting, weeding, volunteering, writing about it, talking about it.
15 tomatoes (red cherry, Sugarsun, San Marzano, an unidentified Roma, Cherokee Purple, "Health Kick,") 6 hills of winter squash, 1 of Charentais melon. 5 peppers. 1 "Madeleine Hill" Hardy rosemary (well, we'll see about the "hardy" part). Countless volunteers transplanted (calendula, fennel, dill, clover). 16 hills of potatoes (blue, German butterball) to go with the volunteers. Two kinds of cukes, two of zucchini ("Cocozelle" and "Eight Ball"). Second crop of lettuce already coming up and ready to be thinned.
Two patches of sugar snap peas trellised. Two rows of French fillet beans planted. A handful of seeds for 2011 purchased at 40 percent off.
One glass of wine spilled, all over myself when, kicking back with Soil Sister Sheron after we'd conquered the big plant on Sunday night, and, so stupid-tired and stupid-happy that I couldn't hold my liquor, I fumbled it midair. I caught the glass, but the contents were all over me. Two eye-popping pink irresistible penstemons bought (but not planted yet).
Zero muscles pulled. A little bit sore, and I sunburned the tops of my feet during my volunteer gig. Still: Uninjured. Undaunted. Uncowed.

ESA's fleet rides the storm
The highly unusual activity of the Sun this week has had an amazing effect on our magnetosphere, but what about ESA's spacecraft, orbiting high above the Earth or en route to other worlds?
The magnetosphere is the magnetic shield surrounding our planet which protects the Earth from most of the charged particles that are blasted across interplanetary space by explosions on the Sun.
But spare a moment to think about some of ESA's spacecraft which are now on missions which take them away from Earth, some outside the magnetosphere and receiving the full blast.
ESA mission scientists are aware of how disruptive these energetic particles could be to their spacecraft and have been monitoring the situation closely. They are working closely with experts in space weather from ESA's Electromagnetics and Space Environment Division.
Fortunately, most of these spacecraft also have on-board radiation monitors so, even without the early warnings given by the ESA/NASA SOHO solar observatory, scientists are always alerted in time for them to take precautions.
On its way to the Red Planet, ESA's Mars Express was hit by the cloud of charged particles but was designed with adequate protection for these events. Most of its instruments are currently switched off because they are not needed until the spacecraft reaches Mars, and so they escaped any data loss or damage to delicate components.
The only major effect of the solar activity on SMART-1, spiralling its way to the Moon, has been a disruption to the operation of the 'ion' engine. The engine is being used to boost SMART-1's orbit out towards the Moon. At one point, the ion engine automatically shut down, but restarted itself later with no problems. This is a temporary condition and will disappear when the extreme solar activity subsides.
At the same time, radiation monitors on board other ESA Science spacecraft in highly elliptical orbits had detected radiation, probably coming from the solar flare. These spacecraft, XMM Newton and Integral, are safe and fully operational. Only their most-sensitive instruments have been switched off to prevent damage. In fact, XMM-Newton was already in a safe 'hibernation' mode because it was passing through the Van Allen radiation belts at that time.
In 2001, XMM-Newton survived the largest solar flare ever recorded, and mission scientists had no reason to be concerned about the effects of this week's events. Integral had also stopped its operations and switched itself to a 'safe' mode.


text: A Blue View is a weekly perspective on the life aquatic, hosted by National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli. From the smallest plants and animals invisible to the human eye to entire ecosystems, every living thing depends on and is intricately linked by water. Tune in to 88.1 WYPR every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as John brings to the surface important issues and fascinating discoveries making waves in the world today. January 8, 2014: Pain Killer from the Sea Click here to listen to John discuss the medical uses associated with cone snails! Over 100 million American adults live with chronic pain—more than cancer, diabetes, and heart disease combined. It is a significant public health problem. In the 19th century, scientists discovered that opiates such as morphine could relieve pain. Opiates, however, are associated with many adverse side effects and carry the risk of addiction. Enter the lowly cone snail. Image of a cone snail via National Geographic. There are more than 3,200 species of marine predatory gastropods assigned to the genus Conus. You may recognize some of them from their beautiful shells, ranging from thimble- to palm-sized, colored in artful speckles and zig zags of brown and white. They are prized by shell collectors. Cone snails live primarily in warm tropical and subtropical seas. Scientists became interested in cone snails as potential pharmaceutical agents because of the way they capture their prey, like which is right out of a science-fiction movie. Like archers, snails launch a venomous harpoon, a miniature hypodermic needle filled with poison, instantly immobilizing or killing their prey. To most, not a very snail-like things to do. Watch the cone snail in action: The venom contains conotoxins, some of which are mild central nervous system neurotoxins that cause numbness and pins and needles, but others can even kill a human. So, if you're ever on a tropical vacation and see a cone snail, by all means admire it's beauty from afar, but don't pick it up. Instead, leave the snail-wrangling to people like Dr. Baldomero "Toto" Olivera. As a child in the Philippines, Toto witnessed cone snails bringing down large fish and wondered what exactly made it such a potent toxin…so he decided to devote his career to finding out. Toto and his team were the first to isolate a powerful analgesic compound from the magician's cone snail. It is non-addictive, does not cause tolerance, has few side effects and, amazingly, is 100,000 times more powerful than morphine. Marketed under the name Prialt, it was approved in 2004 by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of severe pain. It must be administered by a spinal pump, but oral formulations are in the works. These clinical human trials will, if successful, be the biggest leap forward in pain management since the 19th century discovery of morphine. That is joyous news to the 47 percent of American adults who suffer from chronic pain. However, as fast as we are learning about the cone snails (and other plants, animals, and microbes whose beneficial compounds are yet to be discovered), they are being lost because of pollution, overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. To protect cone shells, biologists are asking nations in tropical zones to take new steps to monitor the shell trade and protect reefs. Tropical oceans are places of obvious beauty and home to thousands of creatures, including cone snails. If for no other reason, we would do well to conserve their biodiversity and reverse habitat loss to protect the largest pharmacopeia in nature, one that could save us from a world of hurt, as long as we can keep its world healthy.

1. CMC Markets: http://www.cmcmarkets.co.uk/spread-…b-platform
2. IG Index: http://www.igindex.co.uk/spread-bet…-tour.html
This should give you an idea of the tone of the spread-betting market, and some basic motifs that signify buying and selling, plus charting tools such as candlestick and line graphs. It could be that these are incorporated into the final logo design, but it is not a requirement.
There are four requirements:
1. Strong visual metaphor / motif that can be used in isolation from the term 'eSpreadBet.com'
– We need a versatile logo that incorporates an element that could be used in locations that require dramatic scaling down in size, such as favicons and iPhone app icons
– No currency signs; the brand needs to be neutral of any currencies or countries
2. Striking colour scheme
– We favour strong colourways that immediately bestow a visual identity on the brand. The winning logo will likely inform the colour scheme of other marketing materials
– No greens or warm blues, they seem to be everywhere!
– Think vibrant, bold, strong colour(s) that can be 'owned' by eSpreadBet.com
3. Modern typeface
– We have no preference over serif and sans serif fonts, but require a typeface that is up to date and modern
– It should also be striking and clean; no elaborate or calligraphic styles that will be hard to read at small sizes
4. Capitalization
– The logo should be written in the same way as we write it in plain text, i.e. with a capital 'S' and capital 'B'
Does the logo include a device or motif?
Have you used a strong, ownable colour?
Have you avoided using currency symbols?
Is the typeface clean and simple?
Have you used a capital 'S' and 'B' as in 'eSpreadBet.com'?
Does the logo include the '.com' part of the eSpreadBet.com brand name?

Microsoft Expanding Surface Sales to Staples, Other Retailers
Microsoft said Tuesday that it will start selling its Surface RT tablet at additional retailers in the coming days as it aims to boost sales of the device.
Staples plans to start selling the Surface on Wednesday, with other retailers in the U.S. and Australia to be announced soon.
The company, which has thus far limited sales to its own stores and Web site, said it had planned to expand the retail presence after the holidays.
"Based on interest from retailers, we are giving them the option to carry Surface with Windows RT even earlier," Microsoft VP Steve Schueler said in a statement.
It will be interesting to see if this further angers PC makers, who — until now, at least — didn't have to compete with Microsoft Surface side by side on retail shelves.
Microsoft isn't saying how many tablets it has sold, but Surface unit boss Panos Panay said in a statement, "The public reaction to Surface has been exciting to see."
"We've increased production and are expanding the ways in which customers can interact with, experience and purchase Surface," Panay said.
So far, Surface accounts for just a tiny fraction of overall Web traffic, though that isn't that surprising considering its limited distribution. The tablet is also limited to running apps designed for Windows 8; a follow-on product, the Surface Pro, will be heavier and costlier, but will be able to run existing Windows apps thanks to its Intel processor.
Microsoft is also turning some of its holiday pop-up retail stores into permanent outlets.
Update: Looks like the Surface is coming to Best Buy as well. It will be on Best Buy's Website starting on Wednesday and, beginning on Sunday, at Best Buy stores and select Best Buy Mobile stores.

Mebel International also known as "MI," was founded in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia in 2004 which famous for natural resources and the craftsmanship.
The company initially began manufacturing furniture to sell to retailers in the USA. It's growth took a major turn in 2007 after supplying a big retailers in UK which demand for high quality products.
Today, MI supported by a home of skilled carpenters, hand carvers, artists and other talented staff supply fine hand made furniture to customers around the globe.
This classic design is enhanced by the high gloss finish and the deep patina of the wood. The construction follows the manner of traditional mortise-and-tenon joints also dove tail joints at drawers as special features.
Dove tail joints is still the best guarantee of strength and permanent stability.
This elegant range of dining furniture is one of MI products. It is Flying screensmade from solid Indonesian mahogany (Swietenia mahogany) from managed forests where timber is grown specifically for furniture production.
Mahogany wood is the best indoor wood to give strength and massive structure to the furniture.
The construction follows the rules of floating components to allow the wood to shrink or expand avoiding the risk of cracking, such as table tops, shelves, backs or even drawer bottoms.
Natural and solid wood appearance is most important and keeps Mebel Internasional´s furniture quality and integrity standards at a super level.
MI's high quality finishes also protect and extend the life of furniture by sealing the wood against moisture to prevent expanding, shrinkage, twisting, cracking and splitting. They also protect exposed wood surfaces from deterioration due to sunlight and other harmful agents.
MI even anticipate the shrinkage by fully paint any part of furniture before assembly, this to ensure that any shrinkage will not expose the bare wood
MI takes a very serious step to conserve the environment and the earth. For every container leaving their factory, MI will give contribution to Trees 4 Trees Foundation (T4T). http://www.trees4trees.org Trees4Trees™ is a non-profit foundation established in Indonesia by responsible furniture manufacturers and their customers worldwide.
Trees4Trees™ empowers local communities through partnership reforestation initiatives and related education programs. By increasing the area of community planted and owned forests, livelihood assets are created, the negative effects of deforestation are reduced and the environment is renewed.
Not only giving donation, MI also set up its own nursery in the factory location which has 5000 trees capacity. This mahogany seedling plantation is supervised by Trees4Trees ™ experts to produce healthy seedlings with good genetics. After seedling grown to 1.2 meter high, MI will donate it to its worker and local farmers for planting as a form of long term saving. Maybe this is the only company who grows it own tree.
The factory located at Tambak Aji Industrial Park, Semarang, Central Java – Indonesia. It stood on 12,500 m2 area with complete facility from warehouse, carpentry, sanding, finishing, conditioning room, packing and container loading area. MI current capacity is 15 x 40' container/ month. The capacity and factory space is still available for future expansion.
Currently, MI is directed by Mr. Prabawa who has more than 16 years of experience and woodworking education background. He is supported by a group of 300 skillful workers with high working ethos and commitment to give best quality. With this all right combination, MI can deliver what it's promised.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- President Obama issued a directive on critical infrastructure security in the United States to adjust the national approach to reflect the new risk environment.
"The nation's critical infrastructure provides the essential services that underpin American society," the White House said in a fact sheet released Tuesday to coincide with Obama's State of the Union. "Proactive and coordinated efforts are necessary for us to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure -- including the assets, networks, and systems that are vital to public confidence and the nation's safety, prosperity, and well-being."
The effort will be shared among federal, state, local, tribal and territorial entities, as well as public and private owners and operators of critical infrastructure, the fact sheet said.
The directive on critical infrastructure and resilience complements Obama's executive order, also issued Tuesday, concerning cybersecurity.
The White House said three strategic imperatives will drive the federal approach to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience:
-- Refine and clarify functional relationships across the federal government to advance a unified effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience.
-- Enable an effective exchange of information by identifying baseline data and systems requirements for the federal government.
-- Implement an integration-and-analysis function to inform decisions on planning and operations concerning critical infrastructure.
The directive said the development of the functional relationships within the Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies related to critical infrastructure security and resilience will be completed within 120 days, the White House said. An assessment of the existing public-private partnership model and recommended options for improving the partnership must be finished within 150 days.
Among other things, the timeline calls for an updated National Infrastructure Protection Plan within 240 days. It also calls for the completion of a national critical infrastructure security and resilience research and development plan within two years.

Having survived numerous delays and a total re-engineering, Ubisoft's post-apocalyptic survival adventure I Am Alive is heading to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network this winter, unless it doesn't.
Considering the game's history, I can't help but be skeptical when Ubisoft announces a release window. Hopefully this time around they're really, really serious, and we'll finally be able to help our everyman hero find his wife and daughter a year after the post-apocalyptic "Event".
The following quote is not the "Event".
"We know people have been waiting for this game to arrive, and we believe it's going to be worth the wait," said Adam Novickas, Director of Marketing at Ubisoft. "I Am Alive presents a unique take on the post-apocalyptic, survival genre by creating more complex and emotional situations for the player. Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network are the perfect platforms to leverage the mature and challenging experiences of the game."
The announcement is accompanied by an extended version of the trailer leaked last month, featuring plenty of climbing, fighting, and just plain surviving. It looks like something I really want to play, so here's hoping Ubisoft doesn't kill it.

Welcome to Kinni Creek Lodge and Outfitters
Experience a World Class Fly Fishing and Kayaking Destination,
Where Timelessness Still Exists...
We invite you to experience the rustic casualness of Kinni Creek Lodge, a fine boutique fly fishing lodge stream-side on the Kinnickinnic River in the Northern Driftless Area of River Falls, Wisconsin.
Quiet and secluded, Kinni Creek Lodge caters to spring, summer, and fall vacationers interested in bird watching, fly fishing, hiking, biking, kayaking or just relaxing. In the winter, cross-country ski or snowmobile trails are minutes from the lodge!
We are
privately located along 180 feet of scenic shoreline on the Kinnickinnic River, a Class 1 trout stream.
We offer
guided fly fishing
trips, kayak tours, and longer paddling overnight camping
. The fly fishing and kayaking are done mostly on the Kinnickinnic River. We offer two sections of river for kayak trips and access to several coldwater spring creeks in St. Croix & Pierce County for fly fishing. The overnight adventure trips are further north on the
Brule River
in Wisconsin and in the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
of Minnesota.
A timeless vacation...
Years ago, families and friends piled into station wagons and headed for a favorite vacation spot where they could relax, be silly, get enough fresh air and exercise to feel sleepy at night and energized in the morning. It wasn't a fancy destination, but the lodging was comfortable, food was abundant, and the staff greeted you with an honest smile, learned your name and really cared about helping you. Your stay lasted long enough so that you felt like you'd really gotten away from it all. Getting there didn't involve a fixed schedule, oversold seats, rental cars or other harried travelers.
Do you remember when families actually ate dinner together, when quality time happened so often it didn't need a name, when you spent the afternoon fishing together, and held conversations without the tv on? We Remember.
Much about the world has changed, but Kinni Creek Lodge has kept that timeless Northwoods philosophy for you!

184.108.40.206 Annotation of climate scenarios
Even if quantifiable uncertainties are represented, further uncertainties in climate scenarios may still need to be documented or explicitly treated. These include the possible impact on scenarios of errors in the unforced model simulation, the possibility that current models cannot adequately simulate the enhanced greenhouse response of a climatic feature of interest, or inconsistencies between results of model simulations and emerging observed climatic trends. For these reasons climate scenarios are often annotated with a list of caveats, along with some assessment as to their importance for the scenario user.
When choosing which GCM(s) to use as the basis for climate scenario construction, one of the criteria that has often been used is the ability of the GCM to simulate present day climate. Many climate scenarios have used this criterion to assist in their choice of GCM, arguing that GCMs that simulate present climate more faithfully are likely to simulate more plausible future climates (e.g., Whetton and Pittock, 1991; Robock et al., 1993; Risbey and Stone, 1996; Gyalistras et al., 1997; Smith and Pitts, 1997; Smith and Hulme, 1998; Lal and Harasawa, 2000). A good simulation of present day climate, however, is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for accurate simulation of climate change (see Chapter 8). It is possible, for example, that a model with a poor simulation of present day climate could provide a more accurate simulation of climate change than one which has a good simulation of present climate, if it contains a better representation of the dominant feedback processes that will be initiated by radiative forcing. While such uncertainties are difficult to test, useful insights into the ability of models to simulate long-term climate change can also be obtained by comparing model simulations of the climate response to past changes in radiative forcing against reconstructed paleoclimates.
This approach to GCM selection, however, raises a number of questions. Over which geographic domain should the GCM be evaluated – the global domain or only over the region of study? Which climate variables should be evaluated upper air synoptic features that largely control the surface climate, or only those climate variables, mostly surface, that are used in impact studies? Recent AOGCMs simulate observed 1961 to 1990 mean climate more faithfully than earlier GCMs (Kittel et al., 1998; see also Chapter 8), but they still show large errors in simulating inter-annual climate variability in some regions (Giorgi and Francisco, 2000; Lal et al., 2000) and in replicating ENSO-like behaviour in the tropics (Knutson et al., 1997). These questions demonstrate that there is no easy formula to apply when choosing GCMs for climate scenario construction; there will always be a role for informed but, ultimately, individual judgement. This judgement, however, should be made not just on empirical grounds (for example, which model's present climate correlates best with observations) but also on the basis of understanding the reasons for good or bad model performance, particularly if those reasons are important for the particular scenario application.
Several examples of such annotations can be given. Lal and Giorgi (1997) suggested that GCMs that cannot simulate the observed interannual variability of the Indian monsoon correctly should not be used as the basis for climate scenarios. Giorgi et al. (1998) commented that model-simulated spring temperatures over the USA Central Plains were too cold in both the CSIRO GCM and in the CSIRO-driven RegCM2 control simulations and affected the credibility of the ensuing temperature climate scenarios. Finally, scenarios prepared for the Australian region have often been accompanied by the note that ENSO is an important component of Australian climate that may change in the future, but that is not yet adequately simulated in climate models (e.g., Hennessy et al., 1998). Expert judgment can also be used to place confidence estimates on scenario ranges (Morgan and Keith, 1995). For example, Jones et al. (2000) placed "high confidence" on the temperature scenarios (incorporating quantifiable uncertainty) prepared for the South Pacific, but only "moderate to low confidence" in the corresponding rainfall scenarios.

It makes them pay attention to you because you control their head. By controlling their head, they can not look away.
Boy if you are mistaken.A dog won't look directly into your eyes or pay attention because he wears a head collar.You might prevent him from looking behind, or to the sides, but that is about it.True focus is earned with more work than using a tool.Look at the picture below and explain to me how Jack was forced into eye contact and attention.What he is doing has nothing to do with the head collar he is wearing.There is slack on the leash and he can choose to brake the position and try to get at the dog who is walking on his left.The worse that will happen to him is a no reward marker (or a vocal reprimand) and the fact that he can't go anywhere.He is choosing to exchange eye contact because good things comes when he does.Either a treat or plenty of vocal praise.His decisions have consequences but they don't involve physical corrections.Which is, to me, something important.
You cannot force a dog like Jack into eye contact around other dogs, period.It has to be a voluntary action from his part.The head collar is there because Jack is fast grabber and the tool collar comes handy if things go wrong.That is all a head collar is for, physical control, in my opinion at least.The rest is on the handler.

On paper, the iPad Mini would've been mind blowing a year ago.
Today, not so much.
When you take a look at the iPad Mini's specs, it's clearly underpowered compared to other 7-inch tablets.
The Mini uses Apple's old A5 dual-core processor, the same one that debuted in the iPad 2 in early 2011. It's missing the special high-resolution Retina display found in the full-sized iPad and the iPhone. And Apple's starting price is $329, a full $130 more than the competition.
Are we saying the iPad Mini will be a dud?
Apple will surely sell a gazillion of these things.
Based on the early hands-on reactions, the iPad Mini is apparently extremely light and thin, a delight to hold.
But it is odd to market the Mini as a premium product when its competitors are offering better hardware for a fraction of the price.
On the flipside, that extra $130 for the iPad Mini gets you access to Apple's incredible ecosystem of movies, music, and tablet-optimized apps that the competition still can't match. Plus you get to use iOS, arguably the best mobile operating system around.
And at the end of the day, that's more important.
Counterpoint: Watch below to find out why you shouldn't buy into the iPad Mini hype:

Rebecca is a successful entrepreneur. Among her many business endeavors, she often acquires large parcels of property and develops them into commercial buildings or residential structures.
Rebecca has two properties that she is considering selling this year. The first property is a large parcel that she developed and subdivided into 100 separate lots. She very quickly turned around and personally sold 80 of the lots for a substantial profit. The 20 lots that remain have a fair market value of $600,000 ($30,000 per lot).
Rebecca also has an 80-acre parcel that she has owned for 10 years as a passive investment. This parcel could potentially be sold for approximately $2 million.
After hearing about the benefits of a charitable remainder unitrust, Rebecca wonders if she can transfer her 20 lots and 80-acre parcel to fund a unitrust. She likes the idea of using her property to support her favorite charitable organizations while, at the same time, receiving tax savings. In addition, Rebecca has not entered into any binding sales agreements with prospective buyers and, as such, it is still possible to set up a unitrust and avoid prearranged sale problems. Rebecca meets with her advisor, Jack, to discuss how to structure her charitable gift.
Jack explains that the best strategy, in this instance, is to isolate the ordinary income property (the 20 lots) and investment property (the 80-acre parcel) into two separate FLIP unitrusts. Unitrust A will be funded with Rebecca's 20 lots. The total cost basis of the lots is $100,000 and the fair market value is $600,000, resulting in a $500,000 gain. Since these lots are classified as dealer-type property, Rebecca would recognize $500,000 of ordinary income if the lots were sold outside the trust. By selling the lots inside the unitrust, Rebecca will save the ordinary income tax that would otherwise be payable on the $500,000 gain. She will also receive a charitable income tax deduction (equal to the $100,000 cost basis multiplied by the charitable remainder trust factor) and trust income for her lifetime. Note that, because this is dealer-type property, the deduction calculation will be based upon her cost basis, rather than the property's fair market value. The trust payouts, however, will be based on the total value of the trust corpus.
Because Unitrust A will be funded with ordinary income property, Jack explains that when the unitrust sells the lots, the proceeds from the sale will be allocated to tier one for trust accounting purposes. As such, Unitrust A will pay out ordinary income, which will be taxable at Rebecca's income tax bracket of 35%. Therefore, Jack explained that Rebecca's investment propertythe 80-acre parcelshould be isolated in a separate unitrust so that it can pay out partly capital gain income, which will be subject to preferential capital gains rates.
Accordingly, Rebecca plans to fund a second unitrust, Unitrust B, with her 80-acre investment property. The charitable deduction will be calculated based on the full fair market value of $2 million, and Rebecca will be able to avoid the capital gains that she would otherwise have to pay if she sold the real estate. In addition, once the real estate is sold, the capital gain will be allocated to tier two for accounting purposes and the trust can be invested primarily in stocks. Thus, the majority of the trust's payouts will be dividends or long-term capital gain taxable at Rebecca's capital gains rate of 18.8%.
Rebecca appreciates Jack's keen insight in suggesting two separate unitrusts and decides to move forward with this plan. Not only is she able to maximize her tax benefits, she will receive an income stream for life and leave a charitable legacy with her favorite organizations after all payments have been made.

GMAT Preparation
Dear Friend,
Have you ever purchased a product, taken it home, and then realized the product was missing an important piece?
Maybe a software package was missing a disk, a piece of furniture was missing a screw, or an assembly-required product was missing an instruction manual.
Wasn't it frustrating?
Okay, but what does this have to do with the GMAT? Actually ... more than you might think!

Vintage Ghetto Stroke Face
Tara Reid hit up Villa last night – how on earth did she get in??? How on earth did she get in with that face? As you can see, Tara's Stroke Face is droopier than ever. Doesn't hurt that she's been on a bender since well before Chinese New Year – from London to LA, this is the life when you can't get work. And this is what happens with plastic surgery on a budget.
Ghetto tits, ghetto hair, ghetto clothing…
Again… how the f&ck did she get in?
And would you believe – once upon a time Tara Reid used to be cute? Tara Reid was cute just five years ago. Way cuter than Paris Hilton. Remember this?
But Paris Hilton's Ebola spares no one. Tara was one of its first victims.

More Than Just a Cheap Date, Rolly's Tavern May Have the North Shore's Best Dining DealPosted: October 26th, 2012 | Author: KN | Filed under: American, Casual/Pub Food, Lynn, Rolly's Tavern on the Square | Tags: Arts After Hours, Corey Jackson, Dinner Deal, Rolly Hayes, Urban Wine Project, Weekly Specials, Wendy Meninno Hayes | No Comments »
When was the last time you had dinner for two, including prime rib and a bottle of wine, with the tab coming to just $30? Certainly not in this decade.
But let's back up a bit. We lunch with Corey Jackson, charming champion of the Lynn arts scene and Managing Director of Arts After Hours, on a semi-regular basis, and a few weeks ago he suggested Rolly's Tavern in Wyoma Square.
The restaurant, helmed by Chef Rolly Hayes and his wife, Wendy Meninno Hayes, opened in 2005 and recently underwent a major renovation. In fact, the project continues as they enlarge through the rear of the space. The place is casual and welcoming with a large bar graced with plenty of TVs for sports enthusiasts.
At lunch, Corey opted for the famous grilled ham and cheese sandwich, which Boston Globe Magazine listed as one of Boston's 45 Best Sandwiches. This childhood fave, served on white or wheat with a side of fries, was savory and satisfying.
I chose the Rolly's burger, a half-pound of Black Angus grilled to order, served with a side of fries ($9). Talk about a seriously good burger—juicy on the inside with a nice char outside and plenty of toppings.
I would have gone back for the burger alone, but what caught my attention were the weekly specials. Monday features a two-for-one special on the burgers, and Tuesday and Wednesday host the aforementioned dinner deal: two entrees and a bottle of wine for $30. The specials list includes a variety of entrées, some of which are higher end and add $4 or $5 to the overall price. Rolly's posts the menus for that evening on their Facebook page.
We returned on Tuesday night, when the menu included a prime rib au jus, and we opted for the queen cut at $16 (the king cut is $19). Although the butternut squash ravioli in a whiskey cream sauce was tempting, we opted to try the chicken pot pie at $14.
Both entrees were hearty comfort food, perfect for a chilly evening. The prime rib was tender and flavorful, and the vegetable sides were a step above standard pub fare. The mashed red bliss potatoes had great texture, rich but not overly creamy, and the steamed green beans and carrots had a nice crunch to them.
The all-white-meat pot pie offered an appetizing roasted chicken flavor, was topped with a lovely flaky puff pastry, and was accompanied by a fresh garden salad.
The wine included in the deal is Salmon Creek, which is available in chardonnay, white zin, pinot grigio, merlot, or cabernet. Also available for a $3 add are the wines from Lynn's own Urban Wine Project.
Whether you're looking for an inexpensive date night or just want to relax after work while someone else does the cooking, we think you're going to be hard pressed to find a better deal than Rolly's midweek specials.

338 Broadway, Lynn

Gina Telaroli and Kurt Walker
One of the "possible futures" of cinema (to use Gina Telaroli's phrase) can be glimpsed on this Tumblr page, on which Telaroli and Kurt Walker have released their new feature films; I enjoyed both very much. Here's to the Future! (Telaroli) and Hit 2 Pass (Walker) can be viewed for two more days — until November 22. I recommend reading this perceptive post on the films by Matthew Flanagan at his blog Landscape Suicide.
Both are exemplary works of "Small Cinema"--"the type of movies that have little to no chance of distribution," as Walker says in this excellent conversation with Telaroli at MUBI. I particularly like what these two films have in common. For one, they are openly experimental, non-narrative works, but they wear their experimentalism lightly — free of gravitas but full of inventiveness and play. The other trait the films share is something very special: they are works that spring from a profoundly collective spirit, and they enact this spirit from moment to moment in the processes of their making — processes which are foregrounded in both films. As Vadim Rizov points out, Telaroli's is the rare film that captures a female film director on set.
Telaroli is a gifted and fascinating figure in film culture: in addition to being a filmmaker, she is also a programmer, critic, and erudite cinephile. She makes her living as a video archivist at Martin Scorsese's Sikelia Productions, but seems to move admirably and super-productively between her multiple film-related passions and projects. I also find her unfailingly articulate and thoughtful: check out her piece "More Women, Less Men, and a Possible Future of Cinema" at Filmmaker; the conversation between Telaroli and Phil Coldiron at the Brooklyn Rail; this interview with her about Here's to the Future!; and the video interview with Ricky D'Ambrose.

On the night of December 2, 1984 a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India leaked methyl isocynate gas and other chemicals creating a dense toxic cloud over the region and killing more than 8,000 people in just the first few days.
Take action right now to prevent a tragedy like Bhopal from ever happening again.
On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, a coalition of labor and environmental groups put out a call for safety at U.S. chemical plants.
Just 300 of the 6,000+ high-risk chemical sites across the U.S. put more than 100 million Americans at risk if attacked.
Recently, the House of Representatives approved a compromise chemical security bill (H.R. 2868) that could help prevent Bhopal-like catastrophes at some the highest risk U.S. chemical plants.
The Senate will now take up the issue and a blue-green coalition is urging them to pass a stronger bill that would prevent chemical disasters at all of the highest risk chemical plants. More than 280 plants have converted to safer chemical processes since 1999 and have eliminated these risks to over 38 million Americans.
You can help right now by adding your name to the thousands of people calling for for action to prevent a disaster at these high risk chemical plants.
Since 1984, 20,000 people lost their lives in Bhopal, India after a chemical gas spill from a pesticide factory. More than 40 tons of methyl isocyante (MIC) gas created a dense cloud over a resident population of more than half a million people.
People woke in their homes to fits of coughing, their lungs filling with fluid. More than 8,000 people were killed in just the first few days following the leak, mainly from cardiac and respiratory arrest.
The chemical factory responsible for this disaster belonged to Union Carbide, which negotiated a settlement with the Indian Government in 1989 for $470 million - a total of only $370 to $533 per victim - a sum too small to pay for most medical bills. In 1987, a Bhopal District Court charged Union Carbide officials, including then CEO Warren Anderson, with culpable homicide, grievous assault and other serious offences. In 1992, a warrant was issued for Anderson's arrest.
But justice has eluded the people of Bhopal for more than 20 years. Dow, since its merger with Union Carbide, refuses to assume these liabilities in India - or clean up the toxic poisons left behind.
More than 20,000 people still live in the vicinity of the factory and are exposed to toxic chemicals through groundwater and soil contamination. A whole new generation continues to get sick, from cancer and birth defects to everyday impacts of aches and pains, rashes, fevers, eruptions of boils, headaches, nausea, lack of appetite, dizziness, and constant exhaustion.

I'm actually making some progress on my modern barn quilt for this year's paint along. How are all of yours coming? I'm a bit behind because I was under the weather last week with a cold, but I've got my board primed and ready to go.
And I finally came up with the design. I'm going with an Ohio Star block, which has been on my mind the past few months with my Ohio Supernova quilt and our CMQG exhibition at the International Quilt Festival.
But instead of the coral, sea foam, and cream that I used in my quilt, I'm using these three colors from the Martha Stewart line of paint at Home Depot. We're actually in the process of painting our house, and we're using these three colors (plus a fourth), so I thought they'd be perfect for the Ohio Star barn quilt. The colors, from top to bottom, are Salvia, Sultana, and Garden Shed. Don't you just love the names of paint colors?
I think my little helper agrees on the color choice as well. And here's a couple of tips if you choose to use paints from Martha's line at Home Depot: while I think she has an amazingly gorgeous array of colors to choose from, I prefer Home Depot's Behr brand paint, so I always have Martha's hues color-matched into Behr paint bases. I especially love the Behr Premium Plus Ultra, which has primer mixed in with the paint. Also, I'm using exterior paint for my barn quilt (since we're already using those colors in our house painting project), but you can use either interior or exterior paint (and even acrylic craft paint) because you'll be finishing the barn quilt with a few coats of polyurethane sealer.
I can't wait to get this barn quilt finished, and I can't wait to see yours! If you're painting along, please let me know and send me photos of your finished barn quilts, and even your quilts in process. Also, feel free to add them to the Modern Barn Quilt Paint Along pool on flickr!

|Sort out my banking with TD
I keep telling myself that I can't just batch all my writing for my quiet days, but that I have to carve out and protect writing time every day. Writing books suggest rituals such as morning pages, and I'm beginning to see why those sacred times are so important. I have to slow down, still myself, and let questions and thoughts bubble up to the surface.
I've been doing tons of work-related reading and I'm starting to do a bit of writing for my thesis as well. Not only should I do that and my recreational reading, I should also make sure that I have time to think.

If you've read my blog posts from the past few weeks, you know that I'm entirely in favor of convincing impressionable young children that reading is fun and worthwhile. Similarly-minded people may want to check out The Reading Solution: Make Your Child a Reader for Life, an excellently-written book by Paul Kropp that shares strategies on how to help kids fall in love with reading - from infancy to adulthood.
The main points are: read with your child every day, reach into your pocket to buy books, and rule the media (TV time, etc). Kropp shows the importance of reading with kids every day, even when they seem old enough to read on their own. Check out Kropp's must-have lists by age for ideas, and add your own favorites.
I don't know how feasible it is to ask people to read together every day, but I think it's a great idea even for grown-ups. My mom told me stories of how she—not a nanny—would read to me over and over and over again, and I still think my automatic warm and fuzzies come from that time (yes, even when I'm reading gnarly research papers!). When I moved on to reading - and not just the Dr. Seuss books I also loved as a kid, but the communication and business books she also had around the house - I remember occasionally talking about good books with her. I wish I had more of those times. There's something about sharing the experience of a book with someone, talking about what you've learned from it and what you think about it... It's a way of fully experiencing the book and bringing it into yourself. Someday I would like that to be part of my daily ritual - to quietly read for fifteen or twenty minutes, and then share what I've learned from that and from my day with whoever's around (or my blog, although I don't quite get the fun immediate social interaction that way).
Kropp says that it's important to continue that ritual of daily reading even when kids can read on their own. Reading with other people makes reading fun, because it's so much more than reading. It's asking questions about words or stories or life. Let kids interrupt you and go off on tangents. Point out connections. Reading together also shows kids that you value reading. And let them see you reading, too! I remember my mom reading all these books and talking about them...
I liked the chapter on how to deal with excellent, average and ordinary schools. Kropp has good advice for dropping by a school, evaluating the environment, and suggesting best practices, such as daily quiet uninterrupted reading time. I remember how my mom was involved with the Parent-Teacher Association in our grade school, pushing for gifted education programs and making sure that we were challenged.
Another thing that struck me about the book was Kropp's advice to have children do their homework at the kitchen table or some other central place in the house. This shows them the value that schoolwork has to the entire family. One of the comments that J made about her homework made me think a bit; she once shrugged and said, "Well, my teacher doesn't check it anyway." At some point I want to explain to her why teachers give homework (so that you test your knowledge and maybe come up with questions for grown-ups or for the next class) and how she can make the most of it.
If you're wondering why some of my recreational reading and reflection has been about reading lately, it's not just because of J. I used to read my mom's gifted education books when I was a kid. =) I can't help it even now. Part of me steps back from conversations and thinks of phonemics or problem solving or science and what else I can fit into those teachable moments that happen. Put me in front of someone who wants to learn, no matter what age they are, and I'm going to rack my brain for a way to help them learn.
There's an updated version of Kropp's book, if you're curious.
While you're reading about reading, check out my mom's blog posts.
(Isn't it *so* awesome that I can refer you to my mom's reflections?)

How do you do it? I noticed that you had over 400 linked in contacts. That's pretty impressive considering that you 'just got out of the boat' and are still in grad. school. What's your secret?How do I do it? One person at a time. I go to events that I find interesting, and happen to meet lots of people with whom I want to keep in touch and whom I want to help. I smile. I'm enthusiastic about life. This is probably the key thing that draws people to me and which makes it easier for people to talk to me, as I'm often shy about starting conversations myself! I'm interested in other people. I make it easy for people to get to know me, too. Is that a secret? Not really... Isn't that something everyone can do?
I've met all sorts of wonderful people. I think *that's* the secret to having lots of contacts on LinkedIn or elsewhere! Share *stories* with people, not just business cards, and you'll see how wonderful they are. Become part of people's lives and let them become part of yours. I wish I had a million lives so that I could get to know all these people better. If you can figure that out, you'd be set.
I've been a little quiet in both the Toronto and Manila tech scenes, preoccupied with my thesis and with other matters. I've started from scratch before, though, so I know that when I choose to return, I'll be able to.
I don't really have a big network, and I'm not collecting names. I just want to collect experiences and wonderful people... and that's not hard at all!
