So either your calcs are wrong / don't tell the whole story, or the IPCC has its calcs wrong. What do you think?
Der Spiegel Interview with Hans von Storch
Storch: So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We're facing a puzzle. Recent CO2 emissions have actually risen even more steeply than we feared. As a result, according to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years.
That hasn't happened. In fact, the increase over the last 15 years was just 0.06 degrees Celsius (0.11 degrees Fahrenheit) -- a value very close to zero. This is a serious scientific problem that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have to confront when it presents its next Assessment Report late next year.
SPIEGEL: Do the computer models with which physicists simulate the future climate ever show the sort of long standstill in temperature change that we're observing right now?
Storch: Yes, but only extremely rarely. At my institute, we analyzed how often such a 15-year stagnation in global warming occurred in the simulations. The answer was: in under 2 percent of all the times we ran the simulation. In other words, over 98 percent of forecasts show CO2 emissions as high as we have had in recent years leading to more of a temperature increase.
Storch: If things continue as they have been, in five years, at the latest, we will need to acknowledge that something is fundamentally wrong with our climate models. A 20-year pause in global warming does not occur in a single modeled scenario. But even today, we are finding it very difficult to reconcile actual temperature trends with our expectations.
Der Spiegel
global mean temperature has only increased 0.06 d/C in the last 15 years (IPCC projection 0.25 d/C).
The IPCC temperatures are on target
A paper in Nature Climate Change checks in on the projections from the first IPCC report, published in 1990. That report projected simple trends based on greenhouse gas emissions through 2030, a period we're just over halfway through. The most frequently cited projection estimates 0.7–1.5°C of warming between 1990 and 2030, which means we would see an increase of about 0.35 – 0.75 °C through 2010. (The range of values is a product of uncertainty about the exact sensitivity of climate to greenhouse gases.) The observed temperature trend through 2010 is about 0.35–0.39°C, depending on the dataset.
So, is it as simple as saying the projection was (barely) correct, but overestimated warming? Not really. The first thing to do is account for natural variability. The researchers chose to address this by running many climate model simulations in a "stable" configuration with no drivers of warming or cooling. Ninety percent of the natural variability fell within a range of ±0.19°C. If you apply that as a measure of potential noise around the signal of the underlying trend, the projected warming by 2010 becomes 0.28 – 0.81°C, which includes the observed trend a little more cleanly.
The "skeptics" were keen on deconstructing the hockeystick because they considered it as a key argument "pro" man-made causes. However, it was not, and the fact that the hockeystick methodology was flawed did not imply that the question about man-made causes would be entirely open again. (Of course there is some doubt left, because of significant uncertainty in the level of natural variability - but this doubt is small.) This demonstrates very clearly that overselling does not pay; instead it endangers the credibility of the whole community.

You don't have to rely on someone else's opinion, you can check the data for yourself.

Or you can use the same site and input the full span of years so they're all in one graph which shows a more accurate picture in my opinion.
Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. This is an advance since the TAR's conclusion that "most of the observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations".
That's simply incorrect. The IPCC has never projected a set value of temperature increase.
It is extremely likely [">95% probability"] that human activities have caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature since the 1950s.
The right-hand panel shows ranges of global average temperature change above pre-industrial, using (i) 'best estimate' climate sensitivity of 3°C (black line in middle of shaded area), (ii) upper bound of likely range of climate sensitivity of 4.5°C (red line at top of shaded area) (iii) lower bound of likely range of climate sensitivity of 2°C (blue line at bottom of shaded area).
The linear global warming trend since 2000 is 0.18°C per decade for the IPCC model mean, vs. 0.15°C per decade according to GISTEMP (through mid-2011). This data falls well within the model uncertainty range (shown in Figure 2, but not Figure 3), but the observed trend over the past decade is a bit lower than projected.
Ensembles with different modifications to the physical parameters of the model (within known uncertainties) are performed for several of the IPCC SRES emissions scenarios. Ten of these simulations have a steady long-term rate of warming between 0.15° and 0.25ºC decade–1, close to the expected rate of 0.2ºC decade–1 (...).
Near-zero and even negative trends are common for intervals of a decade or less in the simulations, due to the model's internal climate variability. The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.
(not a religion or faith, just science)
Storch: Unfortunately, some scientists behave like preachers, delivering sermons to people. What this approach ignores is the fact that there are many threats in our world that must be weighed against one another. If I'm driving my car and find myself speeding toward an obstacle,
I can't simple yank the wheel to the side without first checking to see if I'll instead be driving straight into a crowd of people. Climate researchers cannot and should not take this process of weighing different factors out of the hands of politics and society.

"You always were selfish. Your one fault. Not willing to share anything, are you?" Suddenly, Damon's lips curved up in a singularly beautiful smile. "But fortunately the lovely Elena is more generous. Didn't she tell you about our little liaisons? Why? The first time we met she almost gave herself to me on the spot."
"That's a lie!"
"Oh, no, dear brother, I never lie about anything important. Or do I mean unimportant? Anyway, your beauteous damsel nearly swooned into my arms. I think she likes men in black." As Stefan stared at him, trying to control his breathing, Damon added, almost gently, "You're wrong about her, you know, You think she's sweet and docile like Katherine. She isn't. She's not your type at all, my saintly brother. She has a spirit and a fire in her that you wouldn't know what to do with."
"And you would, I suppose."
Damon uncrossed his arms and slowly smiled again. "Oh, yes."

At Moment of Peace, Veda closes the doors to the public at all four locations for one Sunday each year to volunteer services to those in our community who have had gone through rough times such as illness or other unfortunate life circumstances. At Veda, our community is our passion and we are involved in many community events throughout the year, however, our Moment of Peace event is a staff favorite.
We started Moment of Peace seven years ago when one of our staff members, Tara Kiele came up with the idea of giving back to those who have endured a serious illness or personal tragedy. She herself, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was 19 years old. When she brought the idea to the owner, Carrie Perkins, she jumped at the chance to get involved with community in a way that was meaningful to both our guests and our staff.
Moment of Peace is all about renewal; hopefully giving recipients a sense of renewal among their everyday struggles, also giving our staff a sense of gratitude and a chance to renew their commitment to Veda and Aveda. Carrie's last statement to me about Moment of Peace, and I LOVE IT, was this, "Everybody wins! It's a big fat love fest!"A Moment of Peace is all about renewal.
The day of the event at each location there was a feeling of serenity and gratefulness, a quiteness that normally isn't a part of everyday life at Veda. Our team volunteered 100% of their time to do facials, massages, pedicures, manicures and haircuts. They also brought homemade dishes for breakfast and lunch to serve our guests giving the event an even more personal touch. As they sat down to enjoy their lunches the men and women welcomed each other; there was no awkwardness, but love and acceptance from each of the people coming to join the group. Each of the people sitting down embraced one another and sat together and shared stories, but most of all they enjoyed a little bit of peace and comfort.
One recipient at our Academy location, although high-spirited, still has a long road ahead of her and was so deserving of this day. Her name is Jeanette ColemanShe and was nominated by her sister, Danielle Coleman. When asked what she would remember most about her experience with Moment of Peace she said, "The whole experience has been utterly breathtaking. When I first heard about the event it literally took my breathe away. I am the caregiver typically, no one takes care of me and I forget about myself most days. It has been so wonderful to be taken care of and pampered and treated so well. All of the staff here has been so amazing." The staff at the end of the day felt exhilarated and more grateful for their life and more connected to Veda as a company. One of our Spa Leads, Summer Ehlers, was there the day of the event and said,"Moment of Peace is a great oppurtunity for us to give back to the community in a way that's easy for us and feels good. My favorite part is seeing all of our staff coming together and so positive and everyone is in a great mood!"
"Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy."

Cloud storage infrastructure vendor VCE has introduced its first channel program and is continuing to beef up its channel ranks by hiring people from its parent companies.
VCE, which in 2009 was co-founded by EMC, Cisco, and VMware, has finally ditched its practice of depending on the channel programs of its parent companies and come up with one of its own, said Pete Koliopoulos, vice president of channel marketing.
VCE is the developer of Vblock Infrastructure Packages, a series of pre-configured, pre-tested storage solutions based on EMC's Symmetrix or Clariion storage arrays, Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) and networking switches, and VMware's vSphere server and cloud virtualization platform.
The move to introduce its own formal channel program comes as VCE continues to grow its channel presence, Koliopoulos said. "In November of 2009, we had 12 partners," he said. "Now we have over 100 major customers and many others, plus over 120 partners worldwide."
The most important change for VCE's solution provider partners has been to offer them a unified channel program instead of depending on the programs of its parent companies, Koliopoulos said.
Even though VCE's Vblock systems are sold to customers as a packaged solution containing components from EMC, Cisco, and VMware, partners had been forced to place orders with each of those companies, Koliopoulos said. They were also forced to register customer deals with each of the three partners, and received discounts and rebates from them as well, he said.
Going forward, all orders from solution providers, including those received via distributors, will go through VCE, which is providing the solutions with VCE part numbers and warranties, Koliopoulos said.
The deal registration process will also be unified. "Now partners will register the deal with us," he said. "We've made it a lot easier. But the discounts will be similar to what they received from the three companies in the past."
Koliopoulos declined to discuss the deal registration discounts partners will receive via VCE, citing the need to finalize the details.
VCE is also offering partners a new unit volume discount incentive based on sales over a six-month period, Koliopoulos said. That discount is on top of any discounts they will continue to receive from the three parent companies, he said. "So if today a partner gets a back-end rebate from Cisco for a UCS sale as part of a Vblock, they will also get a rebate from VCE," he said. "Our rebates are stackable with parent company rebates."
Also new from VCE is its first MDF (market develop fund) program aimed at helping fund partners' demand generation activities, Koliopoulos said. "This is also incremental to whatever MDFs they get from the parent companies," he said.
The changes to the program mean a major relief from the challenges VCE solution providers face every day, said Jamie Shepard, executive vice president of technology solutions at ICI, a Marlborough, Mass.-based solution provider and early VCE partner.
"VCE now has a support model second to none," Shepard said.
Having a single portal for purchasing Vblock instead of dealing with all three parent companies is a huge change, and can shave between three weeks and five weeks from a project, Shepard said.

If anyone ever asks if you want to appear on the cover of an EA Sports game, here's your answer: no thanks.
The fabled "curse" of EA Sports game covers has a long and storied history: athletes appear on the game's cover only to suffer season-ending injuries or destruction to their reputations soon after. The Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane is the latest to run afoul of the curse, with EA announcing today it's pulling him from the cover of EA Sports NHL 16 after he was accused of sexual assault.
Official statement regarding Patrick Kane. pic.twitter.com/MVurUYOHT8— #NHL18 (@EASPORTSNHL) August 12, 2015
A woman accused Kane of raping her earlier this month at his home in Hamburg, New York. No charges have been filed, and an investigation is still ongoing.
Kane was set to appear on the NHL 16 cover with teammate Jonathan Toews. It's neither's first cover—Kane was on NHL 10 in 2009 and Toews was on NHL 11 in 2010—but this would be the first time in the franchise that two athletes appeared on a cover together. EA has updated the cover with a shot of Toews alone, hoisting the Stanley Cup.

Research Institution
AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This SBIR Phase I project will create an online Career Simulation development Environment (CSE) for biomedical and behavioral science careers. The Phase I project will deliver an engaging, interactive, exploratory, and constructivist simulation of an alcohol abuse career. It is estimated that there are 11 million underage drinkers in the United States (O*NET). Alcohol abuse in the United States is directly tied to 17,000 annual traffic fatalities, 50 percent of homicides, 40 percent of assaults and is major risk factors for violence in intimate relationships (source). Alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse cost the United States an estimated 220 billion in 2005 (source) Employment of substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors is expected to grow 34 percent, which is much faster than the average for all occupations (HHS). Career simulations must be complex enough to gain credibility with students, comprehensive enough to model career skills and satisfy curriculum requirements, yet highly usable (Cairns). This project is uniquely suited to attack this problem by combining best practices and research from the fields of adolescent career preparation, human computer interaction, gaming and e-learning. The proposed research will substantially extend previous research and practice in career exploration through an interdisciplinary approach to the development of and evaluation of career explorations simulation tools. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: It is hypothesized that the completion of this project will affect public health in the following manner: 1. Students will develop a better understanding of alcohol abuse careers in terms of education requirements, work activities, outlook, compensation, work environments, technical and 21st Century skills, and the career's impact on society. 2. As students are exposed to alcohol abuse and alcoholism related careers, they will be more likely to pursue the profession, hence providing more resources to implement prevention strategies and provide treatment options. 3. Students will develop an understanding of how their secondary school curriculum is relevant for real-world careers. 4. Students will be more informed about the dangers of alcohol abuse, strategies for prevention, methods for alcohol abuse detection, and options for treatment. 5. Once the framework for the Career Simulation Environment for biomedical and behavioral science careers is established via this SBIR Phase I project, it will be much more cost-effective to create additional health profession career simulations.

Please explain a comic event with its reasons and importance in She Stoops to Conquer.
- print Print
- list Cite
Arguably the most important comic event that occurs in this novel is the event that occurs in Act I scene 2 when Tony, to create mischief and also to get his own revenge on his father-in-law, tells Marlow and Hastings that they have gone astray and sends them to Mr. Hardcastle's house after all, but only tells them that this location is an inn where they can stay and that the landlord wants "to be though a gentleman." Tony does this for his own reasons, as he reveals to the audience in an aside:
Father-in-law has been calling me whelp and hound this half-year. Now, if I pleased, I could be so revenged upon the old grumbletonian.
Tony deliberately misleads Marlow and Hastings for his own purposes, therefore, but the comic consequences of this deception reach far on into the play, as Marlow treats Mr. Hardcastle, his future father-in-law, as if he were a presumptuous servant. This is something that causes great hilarity, especially when the audience witnesses the confusion experienced by Mr. Hardcastle and Kate as they try to reconcile the two radically different Marlows they have both met who are apparently the same person. Kate says that Marlow treated her "with diffidence and respect" whereas her father says that he was rude, "interrupted" him and "asked if I had not a good hand at making punch," treating him with a complete lack of respect. The difference in behaviour is only understood when Tony's trickery is exposed and Marlow realises how he has been duped. This is something that helps establish one of the two motifs of the play which is that of appearances vs. reality. Just as Kate pretends to be two people, so Marlow acts as if he were two people, thanks in part to Tony's deception.

We haven't been on the wine trail since Columbus Day weekend! Yesterday we decided to go to Linden Vineyards. We've had a busy couple of weeks and we wanted to relax and enjoy some wonderful wines. As usual, Linden didn't disappoint.
As we drove up the driveway we saw Jim Law out in the vineyard he had just ripped up. He pulled out 20 to 30 year old Cabernet vines and plans to replace them in 2018 with new Cabernet vines. The vines that were ripped up and been grafted from Chardonnay vines. Some took, some didn't. Over the years they had vines ripening before others in the same field. Jim made the decision to start over. This time he'll plant them in a north/south orientation to take advantage of the sun. According to his newsletter and Jim himself, look for this vineyard to be in the bottle by 2022 or 2023.
Upon entering the tasting room we saw Shari Avenius, always smiling and ready to talk wine. We were lucky enough to have her begin our tasting. But before the tasting began we signed up for the cellar tasting. This time it would be with Jim Law himself. On the tasting menu we tasted the 2015 Rose, 2015 Riesling Vidal, 2014 Claret, 2011 and 2013 Petit Verdots. Of course all the wines were wonderful but the 2014 Claret stood out to me. It was smooth and fruity and definitely a food friendly wine. It was my kind of red. Not too heavy and not too light. It was just right.
After our tasting we joined Jim Law in the cellar. Here we tasted the 2015 Sauvignon Blanc compared to the 2015 Avenius Sauvignon Blanc, then the 2012 Hardscrabble Red compared to the 2013 Hardscrabble Red and finally the 2009 Late Harvest Vidal with the 2012 Late Harvest Petit Manseng. Warren and I actually came to the same conclusion on these. We both enjoyed the 2015 Avenues Sauvignon Blanc. We enjoyed the citrus (lemon-lime) and mineral notes. It was fresh and crisp! We both also enjoyed the 2012 Hardscrabble Red. We found it to be soft and fruity with bright berry notes. Jim described it as feminine and we agreed. We thought the 2013 needed a bit more time to enjoy. We finished the cellar tasting by agreeing the 2009 Late Harvest Vidal was the winner of the dessert wines.
We were so lucky to have Jim do our cellar tasting. We were the only ones at that tasting time so we had the opportunity to chat with him about all sorts of things. We always enjoy spending time with Jim. We suggested he come to DC and we'd take him out to dinner!
After our cellar tasting we enjoyed a nibbles tray with a bottle of the 2012 Hardscrabble Red. Perfect pairing with the cheeses and meats on the tray. Of course we enjoyed the view as well! Linden Vineyards is definitely very high on our favorites list. We always have a great time and always enjoy the wonderful wines. If you haven't been Linden Vineyards lately, it's time to return. And when you do, tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you!

Ken Sims, Somerset
I cannot support Mr Money's contention that people should not have to pay for parking on a road they have already paid for (Oct 28). Persons who garage their cars on the road should pay extra for denying that space to other motorists. They might then bring their own garage into its intended use, or provide hard standing within their own boundaries.

Road tax and parking charges based on carbon emissions are iniquitous. A parked gas-guzzler emits no more CO2 than an electric car; in use, its emissions are already taxed through fuel duty. My Peugeot 406 2.0 HDi Estate is longer than many 4x4s, but with CO2 emissions of 149g/km it avoids the 150g/km tax band, so I pay only £110. It does 47mpg but covers 22,000 miles pa, emitting as much CO2 as a Range Rover doing 10,000 miles. Ferraris covering only a few thousand miles a year are less damaging than my "low emissions" car.

James Mays tea story reminds me of a friend in the 1960s who owned a surplus Austin Champ jeep, the short-lived rival to the Land Rover. He said that during Army trials the Champ was criticised for having round mudguards, unlike Land Rover's flat-topped ones that were good for resting one's mug of tea on while campaigning. The tale may be apocryphal, but I am inclined to believe it.
Arnold Blake, Ayrshire
The Army taught me to drive in 1942. I was told not to exceed 40mph first thing in the morning as this would cause premature wear to the engine before it had warmed up. I still do it. Any comment?

Australia plan to attack Murali
Ricky Ponting wants wickets in hand during the middle stages of the final so they can attack Muttiah Muralitharan and the other Sri Lankan spinners.
"We can be a bit more aggressive and a bit more positive against them and try and put their slow-down sort of guys through the middle, put them under a bit pressure," he said in the Herald Sun.
Muralitharan told Brad Hogg during the week that batsmen can't pick him. Robert Craddock says in The Australian Hogg's wrong'un is close to being the World Cup's most effective weapon. Craddock also profiles Tom Moody and looks at his stint coaching Sri Lanka.
In the Sydney Morning Herald Alex Brown writes how Australia-Sri Lanka clashes rate among the most spiteful match-ups in international cricket.
Simon Hughes, writing for Daily Telegraph, outlines the strategy Sri Lanka should adopt, suggesting that Muralitharan be introduced as soon as Ponting walks in.
Tim Lane says in The Age Australia are on the verge of domination not even achieved by West Indies.
Michael Clarke tells AAP facing Shaun Tait in the nets will help the Australian batsmen deal with the threat of Lasith Malinga.
Viv Richards tells Tait not to change a thing, Jon Pierik reports in The Australian.
"Tait has been reasonably erratic, but when you have an individual of that pace he is going to cause some havoc, as the South Africans found out," Richards said. "I would never, ever change the sort of action he has."
It's Glenn McGrath's last game of his record-breaking career and his column appears in The Hindu.
"The other record I am keen on holding on to - playing the fewest number of balls despite playing four World Cups. I have only faced four balls in World Cup cricket."
Jenny McAsey, writing in The Australian, looks back at Australia's first World Cup triumph in 1987.
Showers are forecast for the final, according to Reuters.
Breeda Jayasuriya, mother of Sanath Jayasuriya, talks of his remarkable comeback after he retired last year from one-day internationals, in an interview to the Daily News.
Patrick Kidd, writing for The Times, pulls out some interesting figures since the 'long-drawn yawn' began 47 days ago.

Lessons would be individualized to focus on areas that need the most guidance.
I have been painting for several years and I have studied many techniques.
About Melissa
I've taught all age groups from age 2 up to retirees. My teaching experience includes one-on-one and group classes in a variety of settings. I've taught corporate classes, private lessons, small groups, and traditional classroom lessons.
We have a student-centric philosophy of learning. Lessons are generally relaxed and designed to work towards accomplishing student determined goals. While all students will study similar fundamentals regarding technique, theory, and performance, every lesson is as different as every person. Special focus on topics like music theory, self-accompaniment, composition, song writing, and home recording are available as well.
What are your personal goals? We'll tell you what you need to do to get there, and help you take the steps to achieve your aspirations.
Lessons with small children are more focused on just having fun while developing a good musical foundation, but we prefer for them to have as much personal ownership of their lesson as possible.

About Gabrielle S.Close

I have hosted over 150 painting events teaching couples in homes for date night, and crowds of 25-50 people. I believe that everyone has an inner artist. My fun classes will allow you to explore that as we paint step by step simply beautiful works of art, beginner style. You will tap into that childlike, vulnerable, creative side of yourself. You will only need a canvas and a favorite brush. I will supply all paints, palettes and instruction.
About Gabrielle
Gabrielle has coached individuals, choirs, and camps locally and internationally to perfect their tone and sing with skill and freedom. Aside from teaching, she also is a traveling performer, and a host of creative music production workshops in elementary schools and other family friendly venues.
Musical History:
As a professional singer formerly signed to Sony Records and Cherrylane Publishing she has a few songwriting credits in movies, television, albums and video games. After starring in a reality show, releasing an album, touring with some of music's biggest names, walking the red carpet, and performing at the Billboard awards, she returned home to really find her sound after her music group disbanded.
"It has been such a journey. Now that I've found my voice, I want to help others discover theirs too.
She is very diverse and able to do all kinds of genres. She is also a producer and is passionate about music arrangement, song writing and recording. She currently runs RunSong Studios.
What to Expect as a Student:
* Train to hear the note, tune tone, sing on key
* Learn to create and control runs and ad libs
* Find the perfect harmonies automatically
* Strengthen diaphragm and learn to breathe correctly
* Learn to sing with emotion and let the true individual shine through
* Push the limits with the right exercises and free the voice to truly soar
* Be empowered and encouraged as a singer and a raw artist, whether this is a hobby or an epic dream
I recommend children's session be no shorter than an hour. 30 minutes goes by very quickly and children's classes are more about building confidence as well as skill which takes a bit longer.

Rules of the Market Place
The Market Place was created to give Traxxas users a place to buy, sell, trade and request Traxxas products. It is a kind of value added perk to owning a Traxxas product!
Traxxas is not liable for any transaction in the Market Place. If you have a problem with a sale or purchase, work it out with the other member. Do not ask Traxxas or any of the Mods/Marshals to get involved.
The Market Place is not intended as a place for you to run your business. If you are purchasing vehicles to sell them as parts (chop shop) or if you are buying vehicles just to sell them again (Flipping), you will need to find a different place to conduct your business. The Market Place is for Traxxas users to sell their personal Traxxas products.
You can only sell or buy accessories and parts made by Traxxas. Do not sell or request non Traxxas parts or upgrades. We do not run a board to advertise other manufacturer's products.
When posting any transaction in the Market Place you must provide pictures of your item and the price you are asking at the time you post the listing. Provide a clear description of what you are selling or trading. Without these things your thread will be deleted. Be considerate and don't post huge pictures. Keep the pictures to 640 x 480 or less. This way the pictures fit on most monitors. This can easily be accomplished with any photo editing program.
The only non Traxxas items that are allowed in the Market place are those items that you have already installed on the vehicle (Like a different speed control) or that will be used with the vehicle you are selling (ie, battery, charger, transmitter).
Do not link to any sale on any other site. If you are selling your vehicle on e-Bay, sell it on e-Bay.
If you want to sell a Traxxas product but you don't have an idea on the going rate, please post a Feeler thread in the sub forums. Do not post these questions in the Market Place.
Thread bashing is not allowed. If you think the price is too high do not buy it. There is no need to post negative comments in the thread.
Only post one thread for the items you are selling. Multiple threads for the same items will be deleted with a friendly warning.
Thread Bumping allowed once per a 24 hour period in the Market Place. If a member replies on your thread, that is your bump for the day. If you need to edit your thread, but your editing time window is up, contact one of the Market Place Marshals via PM for further assistance.
If the thread does not belong to you, then there is no reason for you to give out free bumps.
Once your item has sold or is otherwise no longer available post "sold" or "ended" and it will be removed. All posts older than 14 days with no activity will be removed.
Posting links: If you wish to post a link to pictures of your items you may do so, but your thread must conform to the above guidelines.
Members are not allowed to provide their personal manufacturing/painting services in the MP.
Asking for free parts or vehicles is not allowed in the Market Place.
The Market Place is not for conversations, we have other sections in the Traxxas forum for that. Do not needlessly clutter threads with chatter, use the PM option.
Your behavior and posting habits in the Market Place are closely monitored. If you do not follow the posted rules you will earn points. Your thread may be removed along with your Market Place privileges.
Most of all have fun!

We know a lot of you Seattle TV geeks love "Battlestar Galactica." So maybe you'll want to pass on McCain or Obama.
Maybe you'll cast your vote for Tigh/Roslin 2008.
Fans have whipped up a Web site for the imagined presidential campaign of characters Saul Tigh and Laura Roslin, fueled by the growing sense that their fiction is resembling our political reality.
Fans have been saying for months that Saul Tigh, the Galactica's alcoholic executive officer, looks just like Sen. John McCain – except for the eye patch. And Laura Roslin, who is elected president on the sci-fi show, resembles Sarah Palin in her appearance and her politics.
Deeply religious, Roslin caused a commotion in the 12 Colonies when she banned abortion to help preserve a human race that had withered to a mere 40,000 souls after robot Cyclons nuked us into near oblivion.
Oh, and Tigh is a war hawk. And a former POW. Via Politico.

Osteoporosis is a long-term medical condition that causes your bones to become weak, brittle, and more likely to fracture. Osteoporosis occurs when your body absorbs more bone than it makes. It is also caused by a lack of calcium and estrogen (female hormone).
Return to the emergency department if:
- You have severe pain.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have increasing pain after a fall.
- You have pain when you do your daily activities.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
- Medicines may be given to prevent bone loss, build new bone, and increase estrogen. These medicines may be given as a pill or injection. Ask your healthcare provider for more information.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him of her if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Prevent bone loss:
- Eat healthy foods that are high in calcium. This helps keep your bones strong. Good sources of calcium are milk, cheese, broccoli, tofu, almonds, and canned salmon and sardines.
- Increase your vitamin D intake. Vitamin D is in fish oils, some vegetables, and fortified milk, cereal, and bread. Vitamin D is also formed in the skin when it is exposed to the sun. Ask your healthcare provider how much sunlight is safe for you.
- Drink liquids as directed. Ask your healthcare provider how much liquid to drink each day and which liquids are best for you. Do not have alcohol or caffeine. They decrease bone mineral density, which can weaken your bones.
- Exercise regularly. Ask your healthcare provider about the best exercise plan for you. Weight bearing exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times a week can help build and strengthen bone.
- Do not smoke. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes and cigars can cause lung damage. Ask your healthcare provider for information if you currently smoke and need help to quit. E-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco still contain nicotine. Talk to your healthcare provider before you use these products.
- Go to physical therapy as directed. A physical therapist teaches you exercises to help improve movement and muscle strength.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.

Tom Hanks has said he is "offended as a man" by recently-unveiled remarks about women made by US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Mr Trump was heard talking about making a pass at a married woman, and also his attempts at trying to kiss others in a tape recording from 2005.
He was heard saying: "I am automatically attracted to beautiful women. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss, I don't even wait... and when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."
"Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything."
The Republican politician apologised for his comments and dubbed them "locker room talk" at the presidential debate days later against his opponent Hillary Clinton.
Academy Award-winning American actor Tom told the Press Association that Mr Trump's remarks were "not right".
He said: "He was at work. He wasn't in a locker room, he was at work. He was showing up to do a thing on camera.
"I am offended as a man. I'm not offended as a husband or a father; I'm offended as a guy."
He added: "It's not right, I'm sorry. It's not right at work. it's not right in the locker room. It's wrong, period."
Tom, who is promoting his new movie Inferno, in which he reprises his role as Robert Langdon in author Dan Brown's latest adaptation, compared politics to a "circus" and said the current US election is "crazy this year".
He said: "(Politics is) kind of like, if you have a horrible painful tooth and you need a root canal, who are you going to go see? A guy who says 'Oh, I think I can figure out how to do a root canal for you, lay down?'
"Or are you going go see somebody who has done 6,000 of them and has a degree on the wall and has a great history and expertise when it comes down to it?
"That's always the allegory for the option you make for whoever you are going to go for."
Tom added: "It does come down to some pretty basic questions: where are you going to place your faith as far as the future of the country goes?
"You have always got to vote for what the future is. If you care about it, that's what you have to do."

Texas Spirit
By Holley McConnell
I was one of those lucky ones that had a mandatory office closing for half a week for the fourth of July holiday. This spurred my idea to make the long awaited trip to Texas where I was able to experience a few too many southern drawls, decorative cowboy boots, and the famed tex-mex tacos. It was nostalgia at its best. Now I'm heading back to home base in Chicago with a few more freckles on my cheeks and a bit more southern hospitality. In the spirit of Texas, hope y'all had a wonderful holiday.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
What further information do you need.
I need to know what the policyis, what the alleged benefits are, what it costs, and why you think that it isvirtually worthless.
Health care policies rarely haveany cash in value so I am not altogether certain what the problem is.
I need the full backgrounddetails please. Thank you
This policy started in 94 when I was paying about £30/m. The monthly premium was indexed linked and I'm now paying over £100/m. It was explained to me today that this was a balanced fund where some of the money was paid into a 'pot', then taken out to pay for the insurance. I've now discovered what I thought was a big pot now ends up being worth about £1,400 on surrender! and most of the moneys paid in was going towards paying for agents fees to manage or put the money into this fund! I just feel a bit aggrieved.
What were the benefits supposed to be re Healthcare?
Do you have the original illustrations? Who is the policy with?
Have you ever claimed on it?
I'm not sure I can answer the question properly as this is not my discipline, It says disability income benefit is £10,710.
Yes I have the original Illustrations.
The policy was with AXA Equity and Law, but now FriendsLife.
No I have not made any claims.
I haven't approached Friends about this yet, I'm not sure what to do. What is a misspelling claim?
I'm sorry but I don't feel I'm getting anywhere with this.
I will probably engage a local solicitor for advice.

HRK pulls out of Wales squad
Robson Kanu, along with Simon Church, made an appearance from the bench on Friday night for the Welsh against Bulgaria, but will play no part against Switzerland on Tuesday evening.
A hamstring injury has forced him to withdraw from the squad, and he is now a major doubt for the Royals game against Swansea on Saturday.
He could be the only first team player who is not available though after Andy Griffin and Jay Tabb returned to full training last week.

5 CFR 890.1070 - Deciding contests of proposed penalties and assessments.
(a)Debarring official reviews entire administrative record. After the provider submits the information and evidence authorized or required by § 890.1069, the debarring official shall review the entire official record to determine if the contest can be decided without additional administrative proceedings, or if an evidentiary hearing is required to resolve disputed material facts.
(b)Previously determined facts. Any facts relating to the basis for the proposed penalties and assessments that were determined in prior due process proceedings are binding on the debarring official in deciding the contest. "Prior due process proceedings" are those set forth in § 890.1025(a)(1) through (4).
(c)Deciding the contest without further proceedings. To decide the contest without further administrative proceedings, the debarring official must determine that:
(1) The preponderance of the evidence in the administrative record as a whole demonstrates that the provider committed a sanctionable violation described in § 890.1061; and
(2) The evidentiary record contains no bona fide dispute of any fact material to the proposed financial sanction. A "material fact" is a fact essential to determining whether a provider committed a sanctionable violation for which penalties and assessments may be imposed.
(d)Final decision without further proceedings. If the debarring official determines that paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section both apply, a final decision may be issued, imposing financial sanctions in amounts not exceeding those proposed in the notice to the provider described in § 890.1066.
(e)Insufficient evidence. If the debarring official determines that a preponderance of the evidence does not demonstrate that the provider committed a sanctionable violation described in § 890.1061, the notice of proposed sanctions described in § 890.1066 must be withdrawn.
(f)Disputed material facts. If the debarring official determines that the administrative record contains a bona fide dispute about any fact material to the proposed sanction, he must refer the case for a fact-finding hearing to resolve the disputed fact or facts. The provisions of § 890.1027(b) and (c), 890.1028, and 890.1029(a) and (b) will govern such a hearing.
(g)Final decision after fact-finding hearing. After receiving the report of the fact-finding hearing, the debarring official must apply the provisions of paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) of this section to reach a final decision on the provider's contest.

I have had so many people asking about my buffet from my dining room that is was time to try my hand at a new re-creation. I am not selling my buffet anytime in the near future.
Anyone reading my blog knows that I love love love green. It is my favourite colour so this was not an arm twisting re-creation at all.
when i was styling this piece with brass to pull out the handles i used my lamp from the living room as i thought it just needed a lamp to look realistic. i added a marble trivet under the lamp to ground it. sometimes you just need another layer to make a piece look at home. this lamp is mine and will not be in the sale no matter how nice you ask but, everything else will be at the sale.
Now for the traditional before photo,
Have a fantastic weekend all and share the green love,

University College of the Fraser Valley and Western Washington University formalize partnership on Fraser Lowland Issues Feb 27 2006
In the wake of the SE2 controversy, academics in the Pacific Northwest are joining forces to address environmental issues that transcend national borders. On Feb 27, 2006, representatives from the University College of the Fraser Valley and Western Washington University signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlining their intent to work together towards better long-term stewardship of our shared bioregion.
The Canada-U.S. border cuts arbitrarily across a clearly defined ecosystem known by geographers as the Fraser Lowland. Nearly two million people rely on the region's many natural resources, including aquifers, fisheries, and airsheds, which require careful management in order to remain sustainable. Despite the fact that decisions about these resources made on one side of the border have an impact on the other, cross-border study groups are far from commonplace. The UCFV/WWU partnership signals the launch of an independent forum - probably the first of its kind - to address resource management and other key borderland issues, such as security.
Prior to signing the MOU documents with Andrew Bodman, provost and vice president for academic affairs at WWU, UCFV president Skip Bassford underscored the need to increase practical partnerships with our neighbours to the south.
"I've had the privilege of signing many MOUs on behalf of UCFV with institutions around the world," he said, "but this is the first I've signed with an American university. Our shared region was divided by geographically artificial lines centuries ago - it's time for us to address important environmental issues now as friends residing in a fragile bio-region."
Bodman prefaced Bassford's comments by musing "we are divided by our common border."
Patricia Ross, a City of Abbotsford councillor and one of the most outspoken activists during the SE2 debate, went even further, stating that "the wagon is 'broke' and it needs to be fixed." She sees the UCFV/WWU partnership as a powerful tool to convince politicians to replace finger-pointing with serious cooperation on cross-border issues such as air quality.
UCFV and WWU have been working collaboratively for several years on cooperative academic projects and courses, including the innovative Borderlands course, which was launched in 2000 and brings American and Canadian students together in a term-long class.
"The Borderlands course provides an opportunity for students in both countries to overcome the limitations of maps that end at the border," says UCFV Geography professor John Belec, who is currently working with WWU colleague Patrick Buckley on a study of decision makers in the Fraser Lowland. "Our primary goal is to prepare a new generation of Canadians and Americans to work together in the study of common border issues in our region."
Case-in-point: Abbotsford's Jason McAlister, a UCFV BA (Geography) student and aspiring teacher, took the Borderlands course last year and conducted hands-on comparative research of raspberry cultivation practices and pesticide use on both sides of the border. "We alternated campuses each week for our study sessions," said McAlister. "Our working teams were truly cross-border but what struck me was how similar we all were."
The MOU signing was followed by a panel featuring Dr. Donald Alper, director of the Center for Canadian-American Studies at WWU; Peter Andzans, manager of community sustainability for the City of Abbotsford; Dr. Bradley F. Smith, dean, Huxley College of Environmental Studies at WWU; and Dr. Sandy Vanderburgh, UCFV Geography department head. The group discussed the role of academia in furthering effective and sustainable cross-border resource management in the Fraser Lowland.
All were in agreement that each nation has many levels of government in place yet precious little governance to assist in protecting cross-border bioregions. Politically neutral forums such as the UCFV/WWU partnership - and others like it around the world - will be important sources of knowledge upon which borderland communities can base decisions about regional environmental sustainability.

One of the premiere racing titles on Xbox thus far has been Rallisport Challenge. Featuring stunning visuals, smooth controls and the best crashes this side of 1929, the game was practically everything rally racing fans needed in their Xbox.
But that game is about to be made obsolete for its sequel is nearing release. Rallisport Challenge 2 ships to stores next month, and with it many additions are being brought to the table. The biggest improvement has to be the Xbox Live! support for up to 16 players. But it doesn't end there. Better crashes, more modes, more tracks and, well, more, looks like it's adding up to quite a sequel.
We've taken the game around the track a few times and are here to tell you what we've found so far. IGN Xbox's new Editor-in-Chief Douglass C. Perry lays down the info in the following Rallisport Challenge 2 video preview. Have a look.

Brazing Services
Service Detail from New England Small Tube Corporation
No one has more experience brazing hypodermic tubing then New England Small Tube. We braze everything from enclosures and T-joints to complex dispensing manifolds and coaxial sampling probes. The key is to produce strong clean joints with a minimum fillet. Another option is induction brazing. The benefits are localized annealing and repeatability. Inert gas may be flushed through the I.D. of a tube during the brazing operation to reduce oxidation. Furnace brazing is another option, an excellent choice for tube manifolds and preheater tubes. Our experience makes us the experts at silver and nickel brazing, and also tells us when brazing is not the best option. When that's the case we suggest laser welding, an excellent method of bonding two parts made out of the same material. Each of these options has its own strengths and drawbacks, so if you have any questions please contact us and we will be happy to help make the right decision for your particular application.

Thank you Carl L.
I will do as you say and get back to you once I have tried your advice.
It will probably take me some time as I don't get down to my workshop every day. Being retired and my wife is not well I have to bide my time when I can do these things. I have a fully equipped workshop for when I worked on TV, video and radio.
