With our bitter Tampa Bay winter season descending upon us, it seems a perfect time for an unheated revisit of the subject of anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
TBS Report first broached this subject in earnest with my skeptical Spring 2009 essay -- which was motivated in part by syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman (and others, including Al Gore) comparing AGW skeptics to "Holocaust deniers" -- tempered by Terry Smiljanich's counter-column about the perils of "confirmation bias." I ended my piece, in which I presented the reasons for "my doubts about the existence of a man-made global warming crisis," with this thought: "I continue to seek the truth, and acknowledge that my current opinions, shared by thousands of knowledgeable scientists, could be wrong. It seems to me that such a principled position is the hallmark of scientific skepticism. But, then again, maybe I'm just nuts."
Later that year, in our Winter 2009-10 issue, I addressed the
matter of scientists skeptical of an AGW crisis being portrayed not so much as "nuts" but, more precisely, as
lacking "credibility" and in many cases being outright "fake." The offender was the Center for Inquiry's
Office of Public Policy (OPP) in Washington, which had disseminated a "Dear Citizen" announcement about an
upcoming CFI event in D.C. in which they said, "You will hear about
But CFI's effort, which it dubbed "The Credibility Project," neglected to comparably vet the list of United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientists, under the assumption that significantly more than 20% of them had published such research. Unless this assumption can be validated, the credibility of CFI's own "Credibility Project" is brought into question.
My research has come up empty as far as ascertaining anything closer than the following "guess." As fellow skeptic Robert Sheaffer, long a Skeptical Inquirer columnist and contributing editor, pointed out in my TBS Report article (also carried in the Jan./Feb. 2010 Skeptical Inquirer), Prof. William Schlesinger, one of the lead authors of the IPCC report, when questioned during a February 11, 2009, debate, had said, "[My] guess [is] that something in the order of 20% [of the IPCC scientists] have some dealing with climate" (see this YouTube video beginning at 3:35).
Prof. Schlesinger's 20% "guess," should it happen to be an educated and reasonably accurate one, would mean that roughly 80% of the IPCC scientists have no professional dealing at all with climate, whereas many among the 80% group of CFI-vetted "dissenting scientists" do (even if they haven't published peer-reviewed studies). One can thus at least wonder whether their "credibility" credentials (other than, of course, being on the "nuts" side of the issue) might even surpass those of the IPCC scientists.
The above-referenced "Senate minority report" refers to the December 2008 dissenting document released by U.S. Senator James Inhofe, the ranking Republican member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Inhofe and other Bible believers, because of their proclaimed disbelief in such concepts as evolution, are often summarily dismissed as being "anti-science." But is that truly the case? When, for example, such persons flip on a light switch, do they expect the room to become illuminated because God receives their message and declares "Let there be light," or do they trust electrical theory to accomplish the task? Even if one finds both traits to be lacking, one must appreciate the distinction between "anti-science" and "God-fearing."
Getting back to Robert Sheaffer, his harshly critical July/August 2010 Skeptical Inquirer piece,
written in response to several recent articles in S.I. labeling AGW skeptics as "science-challenged"
and promoters of "disinformation," was met with equally harsh rebuttal. While taking on the most contentious
scientific issues point by point, Sheaffer likened the AGW "Climate Wars" (S.I.'s term) to earlier
historical scientific controversies in which "defenders
And when they got their turn a few pages later, Sheaffer (and others like him) were indeed accused of "extreme gullibility," practicing "conditional skepticism [in rejecting] things they don't like," and of "preferring to believe accusations from the lobbyists and talk-show hosts." But whatever one's ideological worldview, one thing Sheaffer said rings relatively uncontroversial: "When a new and not yet firmly established scientific theory suddenly appears and finds fierce support from those of certain political persuasions, labeling those who question it as stupid and/or evil persons, you can be reasonably sure that you have stumbled upon some practitioners of advocacy science" (emphasis in original). He later added, "If nothing else, the AGW debacle can be used as an example of the ultimately self-correcting nature of science, even in the face of powerfully entrenched interests."
But given the continuing unrelenting assault on AGW skepticism -- even the expanding Antarctic ice sheets are being "blamed" on AGW -- I found myself motivated to confide the following to Sheaffer in an e-mail this past May:
Sheaffer's reply focused in large part on the role Judith Curry, head of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is playing in the international dialogue. From that reply:
As for the oft-repeated claim that this year has been warmer than last, which was warmer than last, and so on -- seemingly shredding the point I made in my 2009 essay that "the earth's latest warming trend may have actually plateaued a decade ago" -- London's Daily Mail ran an article on October 13 of this year titled, "Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office [the U.K.'s national weather service] report quietly released." One of its bulleted subheads: "The figures [see graphic] reveal that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012 there was no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures." The reporter quotes Curry (the bracketed passage is verbatim from the original):
The Met Office, like virtually all other scientific institutions in the world, has noted the earth's warming trend during the 20th century. But unlike some, it seems to appreciate why many of those organizations' rank and file find themselves among the AGW skeptics. Thus, in 2010, it proposed "a new international analysis of land surface air temperature data [using] verifiable datasets starting from a common databank of unrestricted data [and] methods that are fully documented in the peer-reviewed literature and open to scrutiny."
There's the rub: "open to scrutiny." When confronting a claim that seems a bit questionable, we skeptics generally have no problem demanding that it be subjected not simply to further inquiry but to "critical scrutiny." But when Judith Curry champions for just that sort of rigor with regard to the "consensus" claims about AGW -- which for the most part she embraces -- her efforts are met with accusations of heresy, as detailed in an enlightening October 25, 2010, Scientific American article.
And, of course, no discussion of AGW this season could be complete without mentioning Superstorm Sandy. Al Gore and others have asserted, as with Hurricane Katrina, that its ferocity was the result of AGW. But anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of meteorology knows the following to be true. A category 1 or 2 hurricane forming in the Caribbean during October and heading up the eastern U.S. coastline is hardly a once-in-a-century (or two) aberration. Nor is a "nor'easter." What caused those two unrelated storms to fuse into an explosive hybrid was nothing related to global warming, but rather the presence of a high-pressure area (the opposite of a storm), with its clockwise circulation, sitting to the east of northern New England and acting like a "Road Closed -- All Traffic Must Turn Left" barricade. And it didn't help that the shit happened to hit the fan at high tide. Had these same weather elements converged in the pre-industrialized era, the meteorological result would have been the same.
So, where do I now stand on the issue of AGW? Pretty much where I began. There's no doubt that the planet's temperature rose during the 20th century. But unless I really am "nuts," it remains to be seen whether the current plateau eventually ends with a continuation of the warming trend, or with the significant cooling that many scientists fear may soon be in store due to natural cyclical changes in the oceanic oscillations and solar activity (i.e., the looming lull in sunspots reducing the solar wind of charged particles whizzing by our planet, thus less cosmic rays being deflected away from our atmosphere and more of them seeding cloud formation). I'm not predicting that it will, but should this pretty cool scenario win out, it will be interesting to see if any eggs remain available in the supermarkets, since so many will be needed to cover the faces of the world's most elite scientists, politicians, journalists and environmental activists.

On November 10, members of the Tampa Bay Skeptics, Suncoast Skeptics, and Pinellas County Skeptics met to discuss plans for developing an Independent Investigations Group (IIG) local branch in Florida. IIG is affiliated with the Center for Inquiry (CFI) and its purpose is to promote more critical thinking and skeptical investigations into the areas of the paranormal. A $50,000 prize is offered to anyone who can demonstrate paranormal abilities. The prize money is backed by CFI and allows local affiliates to offer a large award.
During the meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was discussed. The MOU is the agreement that the local affiliate would need to ratify in order to become an official affiliate member. During the meeting, some concerns were brought up about certain aspects of the MOU, but after follow-up talks with Jim Underdown at IIG¢Los Angeles, those concerns were put to rest.
Currently, local skeptic groups are asking for any members interested in being part of this new organization to contact their group leaders (we believe that the annual fee will need to be set at $40). If enough interest is identified, we hope to move forward with developing this exciting new group in Florida.
According to Dr. Eben Alexander, during a severe bout with bacterial meningitis in 2008, "My entire cerebral

As D.J. Grothe, President of the James Randi Educational
Foundation, recently blogged, "For many years now on eBay, believers have been able to buy online psychic
readings related to subjects ranging from past lives' revelations to psychic family planning services. Some
psychic practitioners on eBay offer supernatural medical consultations and healing services, while others
offer love potions and spells. Still other entrepreneurial paranormalists offer spiritual cleansing services
for your home or psychic career counseling and supernatural financial planning advice. These various
supernatural services range in price from the $5 psychic text message to a year's worth of readings for $600
and up. But it appears that all of this will soon be a thing of the past." And, indeed, as of September, eBay
has announced that "the following items are
(Huffington Post's "Weird News," August 17)
Editor: I read with interest your website's past articles on John Monti, the so-called "psychic detective." He sounds like a guy who used to wash dishes at the defunct Red Coach Grill in Braintree, MA, back in 1981. A friend of mine worked as a waiter there and told me about this dishwasher, John Monti, who claimed to be a psychic who had worked for the National Enquirer. Monti indeed did predict the winning score point spread on two straight Monday Night Football games.
My friend, Charles O'Malia, and I wanted to test Monti in legal areas outside of football games, such as dog and horse racing and the state lottery. Interestingly, he said he couldn't predict the lottery and couldn't make psychic connections to horses, but could perhaps connect with dogs. But he quit his job and vanished from the scene before we got any further. My understanding is that he went off with some people known to be involved with sports betting on the street level, which was illegal in Massachusetts at that time.
My friend said Monti had one green eye and one blue eye. From what I know, he is no detective and has no special gift.

for example, if I have the song "light my fire" and I want to remove guitar, or organ, or voice or all musical instrument and leave only the drum or the guitar. May be with a kind of mixer or software or whatever. If somebody can answer my question please send it to email@example.com
That can be done on the TV show CSI but I don't think it can be done in the real world. It would be good though.
You can do that for a midi file but not a wav file. It would be too difficult to segragate the particular wave forms. Perhaps if you had the original sound recording that was on 32 tracks then you could isolate the individual instruments but everything we receive is usually in two tracks/stereo, left and right all mixed together.
You could filter out a monotonic instrument, but it is impossible to separate a polytonic sound. That why you can't get a midi file from an orchestral performance.

Life after exploding brunch
Today my guest is one of my best friends, Bobby Shanes. He was first on the show way back in May of 2008, in Episode 6: JetBlue and Brunch. What Could Go Wrong? That episode was the "Demo Tape" that I brought to Wired to try and convince them to let me have my own podcast.
As the legend goes, I played the beginning of the interview (about Bobby's corporate job) and they weren't too impressed. But when I continued on and played the fun part of the interview, about exploding brunch and pancakes, that's when everyone lit up and I knew I had found my podcasting voice.

Home » About us » News and events » News » Gamma prepares to launch new mobile service
Gamma announces its plans to launch a new business mobile service in the first half of 2016 using the core mobile network infrastructure that it acquired in 2014 and has been expanding upon since. This core contains all the functionality of a mobile network and is based on the latest Ericsson software build, including 4G, and is capable of supporting emerging technologies such as 'Voice over WiFi' and VoLTE. This new service will give channel partners the same levels of customer ownership and control they have over fixed-line services, combined with a compelling mobile service designed exclusively for business use.
Gamma has selected Three, based on its excellent independent performance results, to provide the primary radio access in the UK, with separate roaming agreements also now in place.
The new service will include 4G as standard on all tariffs, as well as improved data monitoring with near real-time mediation and billing and more flexible data usage alerts. With this new capability Gamma believes it is well placed to help the channel provide increasing converged fixed and mobile services to the UK business market.
Rob Davis, Head of Converged Products at Gamma commented: "Following the acquisition of a core network in 2014, we've been working hard to build a unique new service that addresses the needs and challenges of today's business market. This gives us full control of the mobile service, in addition to the control we already have over our fixed voice and data network. With the ability to work with multiple large carriers coupled with the flexibility and care of being a channel focussed provider, we believe the new Gamma Mobile proposition gives our channel partners the best of both worlds. We recognise the importance of mobility in an increasingly converged world and see this new service as a core component and the foundation for Gamma's converged offering moving forward, enabling us to take our portfolio of voice, data and mobile solutions to the next level."

I've spent the better part of the last two decades in senior management positions in an array of industries: Sport, Finance, Automotive, Media, Film & TV as well as Publishing.
I work on projects of all different shapes and sizes – predominately, around strategic global communications (think multi-platform, digital and social media). My joy: Bringing brands and businesses to life.
I am the Founder and Principal Mentor at How2Social – a social education and mentoring platform dedicated to empowering humans in and around social technology.
This includes educating and evolving integrated digital strategy for SMEs; tailoring solutions directly addressing the critical role of the leader, operational and strategic pillars and content curation.

Academia is my indulgence. I have a Masters in Publishing (with Merit) from the University of Sydney and one day in the near future, I will stop prepping and actually do for my PhD on Internet Law as it pertains to the role of responsible parenting.
Since 2011 I have been a sessional lecturer n the MECO department at the University of Sydney. During this time, I have lectured and tutored in Media Relations (undergrads & postgrads), Social Marketing (postgrads), Political PR and Strategy Selection in Corporate PR (postgrads).
Writing is my passion. My current transmedia projects include: the Australian-based TV series The Point (family action drama), as well as my epic, Next In Line (mini series), adapted from my debut novel of the same name.
Life really is beautiful when you are surrounded and kept busy by what you love.
This site is a collection of cyber thoughts (posts) across my diverse interests, connected by a golden thread: my love of language and its impact on human behaviour.
Whatever your thoughts and feelings, I hope when you visit, you sparkle: whatever your reason.

Kincanon Custom Baits Rat Review
One could say as a swimbait angler, that one of the most exciting types of swimbaits to fish is a "Rat"! It mixes all the best features into one menacing package. A rat bait is a large profile topwater presentation targeting large fish that are actively feeding shallow, and looking toward the surface. There's a special aggression and explosion the a rat bait produces. When a fish commits to eating a small mammal it has crossed a sacred line. The aquatic world belongs to the predatory fish we chase but once that fish chooses to venture into our world it has to do so with full commitment. A rat, or any other rodent has claws, teeth, and a voracious will to survive and reproduce. They will not give up these rights without a fight. Largemouth Bass know this for a … Read More »
Product Review: Bass Knuckles Clothing
Product Review Bass Knuckles from Manny Chee Outdoors on Vimeo.
It's 2013 and I'm a dedicated angler at age 35. People my age saw the birth of MTV and hip-hop. We wore van's shoes and took skate boarding from a crime to the public park. We are a generation that saw pay phones turn into cell phones and beepers turn into ipads. I even remember my first computer had no hard drive! We are now the future, we are now the creators of our passion. That passion is fishing, and even further down that progression is swimbait culture. Some people from my generation created empires in the skateboard industry like Tony Hawk, others adapted that to the snow like Shawn White. The one thing in common with these industries is that they have a variety of choices … Read More »
Proper Stripping Technique for Fly Fishing
The other day at a presentation a person asked me "what is the most common error I see in my fly fishing guide trips". My answer was without a doubt stripping technique. Maybe this is due to the fact that most fly fisherman are trained on trout rivers and streams with moving water. That being said, most trout anglers have also at some point experienced lake fishing, or will in the future. Even in streams and rivers, many anglers are realizing the value of throwing big streamers to aggressive browns and big rainbows. The proper stripping technique is something that I learned from salt water flats guides where the fishing is extremely technical and any mistake made by the angler will be taken advantage of by the fish. This materializes in lost fish, hookups missed, and on a tough day, … Read More »
A Retrospective Look at Manny Chee Outdoors
After an amazing launch of the website and incredible support of the facebook page, I have been overwhelmed by the network of people behind me. It has led me to think in retrospect of the people that have been instrumental in creating the fishing machine that is Manny Chee Outdoors. Of course, the first people that come to mind are my father and mother. I was very lucky to be born to a family of hunters and anglers with a cultural belief that children come first. Thanks mom and dad!
When I was young and riding my bike with kids from the neighborhood to the local urban ponds I got the idea that I needed an inflatable raft to catch fish. This idea led to the eventual purchase of the family's first boat, a 365V Ranger Bass Boat. This heavily glittered … Read More »
Swim Spoiler Fly for Bass
From the depths of the Tie-Chee fly tying laboratory comes a killer fly for smallmouth bass in Arizona. The Swim Spoiler. It's an articulated and much larger version of the "Boiler Spoiler", a fly created for summertime bass fishing patterns. At that time, the small shad were being chased into balls near the surface and the bass would "boil", crash the surface. The shad get launched in the air, skip on the surface in escape, and usually get hammered. A fly that can dart erratically and stay in the subsurface strike zone suffers the same fate.
With winter looming, a great opportunity comes to bass anglers in search of big fish on the fly. With water temperatures slowly cooling, the metabolism of the bass follows and the big fish come out to eat bigger prey. … Read More »
Swimbait Season!
Swimbait Season in the Southwest desert is among us! After an unseasonably warm spell, the air is turning colder and the big bass are being pushed by nature's forces to eat less often, metabolize slower, and prepare for incoming changes in weather in the form of cold fronts. What does this mean for anglers? It means we get to throw extra large swimbaits to giants that are feeding in shallow waters on larger presentations. Also, in the salt river chain lakes a new baitfish shows up, trout…yes, trout! They are stocked by the Arizona Game and Fish for the enjoyment of recreational anglers and trophy bass alike.
This year I have seen the most exciting behavior from these large fish such as throwing stocker trout in the air into cartwheels, pushing them out of the water onto shore and even one … Read More »

"In the short time I have been with First Source FCU I have been happier than the 10+ years I was with another well-known bank. The service I receive now is the way it should be. I opened my account earlier this year and asked at that time if I could deposit checks from my phone. I was told it was not up and running yet, but would be over the summer. This was really important to me because I usually don't have time to go to the bank, so I like to do everything on the go whenever possible. To be honest, I deposit most checks from my car in between photo shoots. I'm a photographer.
I learned the good news that the 'memberDEPOSIT' mobile check deposit service was up and running in August through the First Source e-newsletter I get monthly. I was so excited! I already use the mobile app and enjoy the simplicity of it. I felt the deposit piece was the only thing lacking.
Having the ability to deposit checks from home, or work, or while standing on top of a mountain is the most convenient part of banking for me, especially with my busy schedule. I know everyone is different but for me, going inside the credit union feels archaic; everything down on paper with account numbers I need to remember and share numbers that I can get confused. The mobile app in general makes banking a daily thing for me as I can easily check my balances, transfer money, and deposit checks while on the go. Banking has actually become a joy rather than an errand. I recommend memberDEPOSIT to everyone I know and I will use it until the paper check is no longer used."

- Finally, My Editing program is up running yet I would never swear to its, so called operable functionality. I will look at it in a few moments. Uh, you see the picture of my loved Shih Tzu, I thought to bring Maxim out with me today, just so he can see what's going on, ha? I am just trying out the features on My Space. His picture is too dark. I must try out the photo equipment software I have stored, remove this photo and replace it with a brighter photo, so you all can see Maxim Whoo Shin, woo shin.
The little bugger has taken over my life and food. He wont eat Dog Food. It's driving me batty. The best, the worse, he will not eat. With rice added, he might eat a little. It takes so much out of me, time effort, who knew?
- One would believe that I have all the time in the world, but I am at the end of my Project. I might have finished had my proofing tool not went on the blink. I asked the company why not create updates like everyone? Instead of turning off the switch when they create new features, add new functionality to improve the program. Believe me, this editing program has come a long way, I watched them for three years. Now, boasting blogs, search engines, English Lessons, their editing tool is outstanding, especially, for people who may have difficulty with English Composition. The editor floats along with you as your writing catching all grammatical errors, usage and spelling errors, providing alternatives to sentences that can stand a suggest, but when it comes to English Usage its on the ball. They catch mistakes, we carelessly make when trying to write, getting the information on paper. Well, enough of the editing tool, which I absolutely adore.
I can start proof reading again. This is the last proofing, checking for all grammar errors, spelling and punctuation. After this last proof reading, my essays will read well, provide information and inspire all who read them. I look forward to building the web site, which is almost completed.
- Boarders, pictures, no sound and nice fonts were my idea of a comforting Web Site and colors. I used soft, smoke like colors. No browns, reds or blacks, I used the color green and Olive. How do you use smoke like colors? You envision the colors as smoke, clouds, well, you can draw clouds. Not really smoke. Colors that immediately begin calming and relaxing your mind. Nothing bright, shocking or extreme, nothing racy or too brilliant or colors that take you aback, when the site opens. I used colors to fuse with your immediate psychic, immediately. The first layer of human acknowledgment, the first time or when humans open their intellectual door or when humans encounter awareness, the mind adjusts to the environment.
"Yes, the mind adapts to the environmental shade and lighting of my Web Site, soothes my readers emotionally and mentally, readying my readers for an odyssey, an excursion of their Soul and their Spirit. An excursion of the human Soul, reveals, No, an excursion of the human Soul informs our Readers. No, an excursion into the human Soul in my essay, the theme of comforting peace, demonstrates the use of the human soul in practical terms. Our excursion into the soul discusses how the Soul comes into being, what is the human soul and how the soul is used to enhance, build or destroy life? "
My essays, a new paradigm for human growth and development of the Soul and Spirit teach life on new terms, our own terms yet in a new and exciting light of life. Our Paradigm teaches human perfection of thoughts, feelings and behavior, all in a neat package in preparation for living on your own terms, yet in accordance with society, nature and don't forget your political economic system.
"Well, we must leave. I hope to return in a day or two. I hope never to leave my blog too long. I want to share my beginnings with you, from my perspective, as a little girl. Now, this is going to be interesting, a real blog, a real diary entry a true prologue. See you soon. "The way we begin." I will leave Maxim home, his ears are too innocent for this tale."

Every year, about 150 of the most renowned European molecular biologists are nominated for membership of EMBO, but only about 50 get through the eye of a needle. They represent fields ranging from molecular biology and neuroscience to computational neurobiology and cellular immunology. They must first be nominated by ten EMBO members from different European laboratories, after which the EMBO members decide by voting who should be elected.
Only the very best molecular biologists in Europe thus achieve this recognition. Out of a total of approximately 1600 EMBO members, there are now 21 Danes (including eight from Aarhus University).
The EMBO members have a significant influence on developments in molecular biological research in Europe. Several members serve on different EMBO committees that award grants to the organisation of international conferences and practical courses, as well as granting scholarships to young researchers to work in European laboratories to encourage mobility and promote their career opportunities.

Typhoon Emma, Sasebo, Japan 1956
We pulled in to Sasebo Harbor in the afternoon, just as you come in the jetty, on the right side along the pier, five of us , I don`t remember the name`s of the other MSO`s though. We put the line`s out to the pier , and secured watches, then we had liberty call, a few of us went to a bar for a few drink`s. This was 1700 or 1800. At 2100 ,the Captain called the crew back to the ship, because of a Typhoon coming.
The wind was 40 to 50 mph , at the time we got back to the ship, by 2250 70 mph , all this time the rough water was banging us up against the pier, by 2350 wind was over 100 mph , the line`s to the pier broke under the strain , so we ran minesweep cable out to the pier, I was watching the water crashing over the house`s on shore , they took quite a betting , well the mine sweep cable broke also , so we put the anchor chain to the pier. along the pier right beside us, was a large crane ,sitting on the rail road track`s, at 2400 the crane blew over on top of us smashing down to the pilot house , pushing us down in the water, by this time we had 6 hole`s along the side ,from the wood pilling`s, Captain told me to go down below deck`s and check for leaks. I ran down to my berthing area , was for engineer`s , just to the left ,before you get to the head , when I got down there I saw water coming in a large hole every time we hit the pier, some of us shored the hole up with plywood and 4x4`s and mattress`s , we had the bilge pump`s going, a lot of water was coming in , about 0100 the Captain ran up on the crane rigging , or boom ,with dynamite charges, he put them on all four corners of the boom` and told us to go below deck`s I was in the mess hall when it went off ,I heard something crashing through the overhead , it went through Captain quarters and fell in the hall way going to the head , it was red hot , I pored water on it and kept it as a keep sake , I still have it , it was part of the boom ,about 3 " long.
Well the anchor chain broke , and we drifted out away from the pier about 200 feet more and dropped the other anchor, we still had the rigging or boom , on top of us , causing the ship to list to port , causing the holes to raise out of the water , saving us from sinking right there . some of the crew went over the side and put plywood patches over the hole`s , in the morning we went to Yokosuka to dry docks ,we were there two months , they took the starboard side off and had to repair the rib`s in different places , I was on mess cooking detail at the time ,the Japanese dock workers were coming in all the time ,asking for scoshe coffee ,with large coffee can`s boy did they use lot`s of sugar , it was real interesting watching them splice those rib`s right there in the mess hall , also the thing that the lines go through on deck , I think cletes , well it tore loose right over the mess hall , they had to stand on the bench`s and drive large bolt`s up through the overhead in the mess hall was very interesting too watch , all of the worker`s scaffolding was made out of bamboo tied together , it worked fine , this was quite an experience for a 17 year older ,but I loved every moment of it , precious memory`s how they linger ,how they ever flood my soul . I`ve never forgotten it after all these years.
During that night one of the other MSO`s tried to go out the opening of the jetty ,to open water , they got Bashed up on the jetty smashing a large hole in there port side , they came back in and anchored by us, wow what a night . These memories are still fresh in my mind after all these years and I thought it time for my memories to be shared with the MSO Community. Joe Marturano offered to help me get my story told and here is the end result. I hope this brings back some memories for all of you Force Sailors still around.

In the 19th century, Henri Fabre tried to discover the mechanism by which peacock moths, who live only two days, attract mates. He died, not knowing.
She wears dark-red velvet
with an ermine collar.
A purple, white, and chestnut eye
adorns the skirt of each wing.
For two nights
myriad pale shapes
big as birds
flutter around her cage.
On the third,
we find her dead
in an empty room.
In our candlelit
single file
up the stairs
we too are ghosts.
We too have no mouths.

Eating when you aren't physically hungry can be so frustrating as well as damaging to your health. Afterward, you're miserably full and bloated and upset that you overate or binged yet again despite your determination to not do so.
Overcoming emotional eating is very difficult and can be a constant challenge. Food is everywhere and tempts with immediate pleasure and relief. You can't practice abstinence from food.
When you struggle with urges to run to the fridge, wait a moment or two. Use mindfulness to be in the moment and observe and describe what is happening. The pause is not about stopping you from enjoying another piece of chocolate cake, it's about understanding the reason you are craving it.
Maybe you aren't sure when you are physically hungry and when it is emotional. Until you learn the physical signals of hunger again, you can ask yourself questions. If you are truly hungry, you're willing to eat a high protein food like eggs or meat. When it's emotional hunger you probably crave carbohydrates or sweets.
Maybe you know you're emotionally hungry rather than physically in need of nourishment. You still really want food. Accept that you can sit with the urge to eat and it will pass. You don't need to satisfy that urge. Think about the long-term consequences and how emotional eating affects you. Choose to respect your body and take good care of yourself. Frame your choice in terms of the positives rather than depriving yourself.
Awareness of the trigger for your urges is an important step in overcoming emotional eating. Here are some ideas to help you identify what is behind that emotional hunger. Knowing the reason you are eating will help you find a more effective coping strategy.
1. To Avoid Unpleasant Emotions.
Maybe you had an argument with your husband or you are worried about your job or finances. If this is the case, your hunger is about avoiding anxiety or sadness. Food can be soothing as well as distracting. As long as you are eating, you'll feel some relief. The problem is that you have to keep eating. You may eat until you are miserable because the relief only lasts as long as you are chewing.
Sometimes the emotions you are avoiding can be more subtle or you don't even notice them before you put food in your mouth. When I'm working and reach a point where I'm not sure what to do next, I often think of food. It's not about hunger; it's about getting rid of that anxiety of "What now?" I wasn't even aware of this tiny moment between ending a task or a paragraph and eating until recently. Eating gives me something to be "doing" so I can stay in my comfort zone.
Coping Suggestions
Practice tolerating the emotion. Emotions will pass. They are temporary. You can also practice other coping skills, such a talking it out with someone, writing your emotions, exercising, or distracting yourself. You might want to do an activity that is not compatible with eating such as taking a shower.
2. To End Boredom
In those moments where there is "nothing to do" and there is no one to talk with, you may experience an aloneness that is uncomfortable or a boredom that is difficult to tolerate. Food can seem like the answer. Eating is something to do.
Coping Suggestions
Create a list of various activities that you can do when you can't think of anything to do. Keep the list readily available so you can look at it easily. Make a commitment to try at least two activities before turning to food.
3. Out of Habit/Lack of Awareness
Eating mindlessly, putting food in your mouth without being aware of the taste or how satisfied you are is a form of self-soothing. If you aren't aware of your surroundings, your world, you're not present in your life. Eating mindlessly may be a way of numbing so you aren't present. Eating mindlessly may be a habit as well. You may "veg-out" in the same chair each night, watching various television shows, and not even aware that you aren't truly present. Maybe you don't want to be present.
Coping Suggestions
Practice mindfulness to be more present. You may find that you don't enjoy your routines and need to change them. Perhaps you find that you need a different way to completely slow your mind and relax, so you aren't thinking about challenges and to do lists.
4. To Squelch Urgency
You think about the chocolate pie that is waiting in the kitchen. You love the taste of it and want more. The difference is that your mind wants more now. You have a sense of urgency to eat it.
Coping Suggestions
Practice delay. Tell yourself that you can have the pie tomorrow or in a few hours. Remind yourself that the pie will be good later. The idea is to learn that having urges for something doesn't mean you have to act on them and learning to delay is a skill.
5. Fatigue
Craving food often occurs when you are tired, particularly the burned-out kind of tired. When you've been working on taxes for hours, you may not be physically tired but you are tired of concentrating and focusing your attention on an unpleasant task. Food can seem like the answer.
Coping Suggestions
When you are tired, awareness can help you make a more effective choice. You might take a nap, lay by the pool, or play a game. Doing an activity very different from the one that led to the fatigue often offers the best relief.
6. To Create Pleasure
Sometimes food is the easiest way to create a pleasurable experience or add to a celebration.
Coping Suggestions
Practice being openly joyful when you have celebrations. When you express the emotion directly and openly you may have less need to create a physical experience of pleasure with food. If food is your only pleasure, then find ways to bring small joys into your life. Joys that use the senses may be the most helpful, such as rocking a baby or petting a dog.

As is the case for all police officers throughout the state of Virginia, there are rules in place that law enforcement must follow when investigating or arresting someone. Those laws are in place to protect citizens from officers who are overzealous. When they are violated, someone who is accused of committing a crime could find that the charges are dropped. It is even possible that individuals who are convicted of a crime could be let off the hook. Recently, several individuals in this situation recently found their drug convictions vacated.
The reason for the change is an investigation that is being conducted into a former detective. There are reportedly issues with some of the search warrants he signed and presumably relied upon to gather evidence used against individuals who were convicted. Irregularities and inconsistencies in the documents shine light on the integrity of them. Specifically, in some of the cases the man handled, it is thought that the former investigator repeatedly reused the same information but associated it with different confidential drug informants.
The three people who have been freed may not be the only ones impacted by this. According to the Commonwealth Attorney reviewing the matter, his office is in the process of voiding four other convictions. Whether others will have their convictions vacated remains to be seen.
While the individuals who are getting a second chance are undoubtedly pleased about the turn of events, they most likely wish that they were never in that situation in the first place. Working with a criminal defense lawyer is the best way to try to secure that outcome.

caring for creation with gratitude and tenderness.

Sewer cameras can be defined as professional plumbing equipment specially designed to explore and inspect pipe interiors. A sewer camera is a powerful diagnostic tool that helps take the required decisions related to underground piping solutions. The service tool is somewhat similar to the colonoscopy. It is designed and used for sewer piping systems. Sewer cameras are helpful tools for different applications and industries. The fiber optic camera is about the size of smartphone cameras and attaches to a long, flexible metal cable. It is used in conjunction with other gadgets such as the monitor and the probe. Using a sewer camera takes the mystery out of problems hiding in pipes. These cameras are waterproof which allow visual inspection of sewer lines and other pipes that are underground. Key players operating in the sewer cameras market are focusing on addition of innovative sewer cameras to their product portfolio, by carrying out manufacturing and technological advancements along with the introduction of latest product lines. These advancements are important according to the needs of both commercial and industrial establishments and for general construction applications. The new generation sewer cameras are designed to cater to the practical working surroundings and needs of industry sites. The sewer cameras market is primarily driven by commercial, residential, and industrial development. The factors that play an important role in the growth of the sewer cameras market are that they save time, there is no digging is involved, they are more accurate, help in valuing a house, offer better accessibility, are safe, convenient, and cost-effective.
The sewer cameras market is expected to expand at a notable growth rate in the near future. Rapid industrialization in developing countries is increasing the production of sludge in the sewer, thereby making its removal and cleaning important. This in turn is expected to drive the sewer cameras market during the forecast period. Significant expansion of the real-estate sector and developed infrastructure boosts economic growth by helping cross-border trade and industrial growth, which in turn fuels the demand for sewer cameras. Rise in public?private partnerships for the construction of public infrastructure systems in countries such as China and India, and stringent government regulations pertaining to the cleaning of sewers are expected to fuel the demand for sewer cameras in the next few years. Various factors such as increase in industrial projects such as construction, mining, and repowering of old projects, are likely to provide significant opportunities to the sewer cameras market during the forecast period. However, technological, regulatory, and competitive issues are expected to affect the sewer cameras market in the near future.
The global sewer cameras market can be segmented based on product, application, and region. Based on product, the sewer cameras market can be segregated into CCTV inspection cameras, drain inspection cameras, and sewer crawler cameras. In terms of application, the sewer cameras market can be classified into of industrial, residential, healthcare, environment inspection, and others. In terms of region, the sewer cameras market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific is projected to hold a prominent share of the global sewer cameras market by the end of the forecast period.
Key players operating in the global sewer cameras market include Spartan Tool, TvbTech Co., Ltd, ProBuilt Tools, Insight Vision, Cognex Corporation, Olympus Corporation, FLIR Systems, Inc., SICK AG, Sanxo Group, Camtronics, GooQee, Envirosight LLC, Rausch Electronics USA, LLC, Rothenberger, Emerson Electric Co., Global Instruments Company, Ultimate Washer, Scooter Video Inspection Systems.,Subsurface Solutions, and Prototek.

More live footage from Canada
Less than 500 left!
Michael Nesmith
"What Is A Monkee Fan?"
This article was originally published in the May 1968 issue of Flip.
Live footage from Canada
The "Just Like Honey" clip seemed like an anti-video. What you remember about making it?
"I don't remember much. All of our videos at that time – It seems a bit odd to say it – but we wanted to make videos like The Monkees. There'd be an episode of The Monkees, and then there'd be one of their songs and it would be a little film clip. That was a blueprint for all of the Mary Chain's early videos.
I remember the video director for 'You Trip Me Up' asking how we wanted it to be, and we told him exactly that: We wanted it to be like The Monkees. We said, 'Let's do it on a beach somewhere with guaranteed sunshine.' So we buggered off to Portugal for a few days during Easter, and it was pissing with rain nonstop. We got about 10 minutes worth of sunshine, and that's how we shot that video."

New York City's public hospital system is looking at a major cash squeeze within four years if federal cuts to hospitals serving large numbers of poor and uninsured patients take place as scheduled, according to a report by the city comptroller, Scott M. Stringer, to be released on Monday.
Beginning in 2017, the federal government will begin cutting subsidies to those hospitals, based on the theory that since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which has insured millions of Americans, hospitals will no longer need the same level of subsidies for uncompensated care.
But Mr. Stringer's report says that the city's hospital system will not benefit as much as expected from the Affordable Care Act insurance plans because the system continues to serve a high proportion of undocumented immigrants, who are not eligible for coverage under the act.
In the health law's first year, the number of uninsured patients the system treated dropped by only 1.3 percent, the report said; another decrease of 7.2 percent is projected by 2019.
More strikingly, the city's hospital system has not attracted enough newly insured patients to give it the revenue increase it would need to make up for the loss of federal funds, the report says.
"We have a solemn commitment to fund H.H.C. so that it can serve everyone who walks through the door, regardless of their immigration status or ability to pay," Mr. Stringer said in a statement, referring to the Health and Hospitals Corporation, which runs the public hospitals. "That's why we need to find a real cure for these cuts, not just apply a Band-Aid."
The 11-hospital system expects to face a deficit of more than $1 billion in fiscal year 2017, which will grow in subsequent years, the report said. The city's taxpayers are ultimately responsible for filling that gap.
The report projects that the system's cash on hand, an indicator of financial stability, will drop to $44 million, from $1 billion, by 2019-2020, largely because of the projected $827 million loss in federal "disproportionate share" subsidies.
Dr. Ram Raju, president of the hospitals corporation, said he was working with the city to mitigate the cuts. He said he was also trying to persuade the state to change its methodology for financing charity care, which he said put the corporation "last on the line."
He agreed that undocumented immigrant care was a problem. "The Affordable Care Act did not bring in everybody," Dr. Raju said. "It left behind a group of people. They have no way of getting insurance, and most of them are served by our system."
The three hospitals most affected by the burden of caring for uninsured immigrants are Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx, Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens and Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center in Brooklyn, the report said.
City officials have long predicted that the cuts would hurt New York City more than other parts of the country because of its large number of immigrants.
But the report raises another surprising factor: the failure of the hospitals corporation's entry into the state's Affordable Care Act exchange to produce as much revenue as expected.
The hospital system was counting on its MetroPlus insurance plan, newly sold on the state exchange, to attract young people of modest means to city hospitals, despite their image as a last resort for the poor. But MetroPlus has not been as successful as expected, with about a third of the 45,000 new subscribers dropping out within the first year, the report said, adding that the decline was because members failed to pay their premiums, among other reasons.
Mr. Stringer said that revenue from new enrollment in MetroPlus was expected to offset only about 28 percent of the federal cuts.
The report calls on the federal government to delay the cuts until their impact can be better assessed, and for the state government to explore the feasibility of using its own funds to cover undocumented immigrants.

Hey guys! It's Blaze Stone back after a long, long time with another article for you all! Today, I will be taking a look at the best legendary cards in the game right now.
Before, I start I want to just talk about my absence. I was busy College stuff and studies, and with the technical issues at CRA, I couldn't give much time. In fact, I had taken a break of around 3 months. It feels good to be back though, and the game is better than ever.
Now, without further ado, let's begin!!
Note: There are 16 legendary cards in the game right now, so ranking them is a rather difficult job. These are my opinions so take them with a grain of salt. All the legendaries are viable and there isn't really a bad legendary card, just that some are better than others.
Choose The Best Legendary Card For Your Decks!
Before talking about our Legendary cards, here is some basic tips for you:
- Don't try to switch decks and build decks because of the Legendary you want to use. Instead, buy the one which fits your deck well. For example, If you are very good at using Royal Giant, it's better to wait and buy either Princess, Ice Wizard or Lumberjack than to buy the Lava Hound. But, anyway, sometimes it's totally worth it to build the whole new deck based on a Legendary card. For example, If you really love the high risk high reward Sparky deck, build a deck about her. It's all up to you.
- What is the Legendary which fits your archetype best?
- How many Legendary cards do you really need? Remember that the more Legendary cards you have, the harder it will be to improve your deck level.
- Think twice before purchasing the Legendary card. Don't spend 40,000 Gold for the Legendary which shows up first If you don't really know how it fits your deck.
- There are 2 main ways to save for a Legendary. First, If you are able to buy Gem, get the 2,000 Gem Pack, which immediately gives you 40k Gold and 500 more Gems. The second one is to save Gold by donating cards and opening chests.
It usually takes up to 3 weeks to save 40,000k Gold, but this is truly not a big deal at all because personally I still enjoy the game without Legendary cards. Take a look at here to see more about the second way!
The Best Legendary Cards in Clash Royale
Now, let's move to the main part of the article. The list below orders all the Legendary cards in Clash Royale from the worst one to the best one in term of purchase and variable.
Before I start, I must say that ranking the Legendary cards is harder than it used to be (Courtesy: Sparky buff). Supercell has commendably increased the standard of the balance changes from nerfing cards to oblivion and buffing to domination to creating a balanced meta.
Right now, each legendary card can fit perfectly into one role, one deck and become really powerful in it. Example: Lumberjack in Golem Beatdown decks.
Mostly, I have ranked the cards based on their versatility, skill cap and over-all place in the meta after the update.
- These are my personal opinion so they might differ from you. Don't feel bad if your favorite legendary is at a lower spot.
- A card at a lower spot doesn't mean it's bad. IMO all cards in the game are good (except for those few like the Rage which don't need skill). So, if you practice, you can win battles and mostly the cards at the top are there because how easy to use and versatile they are and how OP they can be.
- The release of new cards may affect the list as per their interaction with the legendary cards.
#16 – Graveyard
Graveyard was a popular and dominating card in the last few months in conjunction with Freeze. However, it took a hit after the Freeze nerf and hasn't found its place back in the meta yet.
With all the Fireball/Poison bait running in the meta, GY has a bit of a struggle in dealing that damage.
Viable decks include Splashyard and Giant GY Zap bait.
#15 – Princess
This cute little gal has seen a drop in usage as players have shifted away from the traditional log bait decks and our being experimental with Mortar Bait decks.
She struggles to find a place in other decks as there are cards which perform the role as a splash or bait card better than her.
With that being said, she is cheap so can be used in Miner or Hog cycle decks by players who know the Art of Cycling.
#14 – Night Witch
The Night Witch has found a niche as a melee support troop in Golem Beatdown decks (and some Giant decks as well on ladder).
However, other than these, she isn't really seen as cards like Mini PEKKA and Lumberjack outshine her.
#13 – Magic Archer
Even though he is low on the list, he can be expected to see an increase in popularity as Fireball/Poison bait decks get popular (courtesy of Barbarians buff/rework).
Personally, I feel cards like Flying Machine, eWiz and Musketeer fit better in the 4 elixir fireball-able ranged troop slot (even though they are different) as he really isn't that strong and requires precise placements.
#12 – Sparky
She ain't the #trashcanonwheels anymore.
Sparky is a pretty strong card, however the high skill-high reward factor is the reason she falls a bit behind.
Many people, including me, have found success using her with Goblin Giant Zap Bait decks.
Giant works as well, but Goblin Giant performs the role better as a tank due to the Spear Goblins on his back.
She is also pretty dope on defence as the 1100 dmg electric blast isn't something that most troops can withstand.
#11 – Mega Knight
He is a pretty useful card in the meta as he hard-counters all the Fireball bait decks getting popular.
On the other hand, PEKKA is running rampant and takes care of MK rather pretty well.
He can be used as a counter-push tank with Royal Hogs or Ram rider.
#10 – Ice Wizard
The wizard from the north sees decent usage and IMO is in a pretty balanced spot right now.
He shines on defence due to his slowdown ability, especially when coupled with Tornado.
Since he lacks in damage, it is recommended to use another card like a Splash unit, a hard hitter or even a building.
Can be used in a variety of decks but seen in X-bow, Balloon and Graveyard decks.
#9 – Royal Ghost
The Royal Ghost is a nifty card with its invisibility and splash attack, along with its cheap 3 elixir cost.
He works well along with PEKKA as his splash complements her high point damage, and they both work well with cards like Miner and Battle Ram.
Outside these, he is seldom visible (pun intended) in other decks, except maybe in Log Bait w/Goblin Barrel, which as mentioned earlier is not viable in the current meta.
#8 – Inferno Dragon
The no.1 tank killer in the game right now. Takes care of all the Lava Hounds, PEKKAs, Mega Knights, Royal giants….well you get the idea.
What makes it stand out from other tank killers is the ease with which it can shift from defence to offence.
An Inferno Tower locked-on to your tower is the one of the scariest things in the game XD.
In the current meta, it is used in a variety of decks, predominantly with Lava Hound and Mega Knight decks.
#7 – Electro Wizard
eWiz is a pretty good support card in the game.
His forked stun is useful in countering the Inferno Dragons while spawn zap can help defend against swarms.
He has been replaced in certain decks by the Electro Dragon resulting in a bit decline in usage.
He can be used in PEKKA decks, Miner Poison decks as well as in Fireball bait.
#6 – Lava Hound
One of the popular tanks in the game right now.
In recent months, people have stepped a bit away from the traditional LavaLoon and have been experimenting in more Golem-style beatdown decks with Lumberjack.
Even more surprising is the rise of Lava Hound Clone decks (yeah Clone, pretty surprising) again with Lumberjack and Zap bait cards. One of the main reasons for her dominance is the strong place the flying support cards (Mega Minion, Flying Machine, the Dragon Trinity) are in.
#5 – Lumberjack
More than versatility, Lumberjack is here just for his raw strength.
What really makes him strong is the fact that he is a threat before AND after he dies. He can deal tons of damage with that insane speed and good damage, or can die and drop the rage so that the remaining troop wreck havoc on your tower.
He is used mainly in Beatdown decks (Golem and Lava Hound in particular) but finds success in Hog cycle decks as well.
#4 – Ram Rider
The latest legendary debuts at a high rank in the legendary list.
She is IMO, one of the most balanced, unique and versatile card ever released in the game. With the charge ability, she is great on offence as a rush/bridge spam card.
The thing that makes her stand out though is the exclusive snare mechanic… literally freezes troops in place, though allowing them to attack.
This mechanic has a lot of potential on defence, and coupled with cards with Pushback (Snowball and The Log especially) works on offence as well.
She can be used as a replacement to Battle Ram in most Ram decks, along with tanks like Mega Knight and PEKKA.
#3 – The Log
With the advent of Barbarian Barrel and Snowball, the popularity of The Log had taken a hit but has made a sort of comeback with the nerfs to Barbarian Barrel.
Not as much of necessity in decks as it was in its prime, the fact that Log Bait ain't seen might also play a role.
It is can be used in basically any deck, it is that versatile, however, the other two elixir spells sometimes perform the role better (as Zap does in Beatdown and Snowball in aerial decks).
#2 – Bandit
Bandit is one of the most popular cards in the game right now; she owes this to both her versatility as well as her strength.
With the unique dash mechanic (with invulnerability), she can be tricky to counter, especially with the right support (Spells, rush cards, splash troops).
She has a lot of potential on defence as she can absorb a hit w/o any damage, and owing to the dash, there are loads of things that you can do.
On offence she is always a threat as a bridge spam card, and can be punishing when you are down on elixir. And all this for mere 3 elixir! Now that's value.
#1 – Miner
And the #1 legendary is Miner!! (Yeah, I know it's my favourite legendary but believe me, I haven't shown any partiality :D)
Miner is the most versatile legendary in the game right now, being used in almost all deck archetypes.
Control, Cycle, Beatdown, Siege, Bait…you name it and I can show you a viable deck of that particular archetype that has Miner in it.
The ability to be placed anywhere in the arena is great for sniping of those Princess and Musketeers, taking out buildings, tanking for support troops after your primary tank dies…there are so many possibilities!
With the 3 elixir cost, as I have emphasized above as well, this is great value!
Miner really rocks in the game right now!!
