Exposed: the anti-climate science machine - Heartlandgate
Posted 15 February 2012 - 19:23
For example http://dailybayonet....hate-heartland/
How shocking they should have helped Anthony Watts with funding to investigate UHI effects, which are consistently underestimated.
How much has been spent promoting AGW alarmism by the likes of Gore and Greenpeace?
Far more than 6.5million that's for sure.

You make a valid point
Of course, 2 wrongs do not make a right. And just because one person does something we disagree with does not mean it's okay for someone to do likewise. Though humans being humans it's inevitable.
None of which helps the man in the street understand what is/isn't/might be happening and what we can/cannot/should/should not do about it - if anything. No wonder the public - especially in the face of more immediate worries - are apathetic about the possible (or otherwise) consequences of todays actions on tomorrow.

The Gore-Greenpeace defence-trench has already been predicted widely as the first response and the prediction is proving correct everywhere I look. Yet the important point is that all of these, from either side, are advocacy-groups, NOT the guys who do the science, who typically earn less than a market-town bank-manager at best. OK I'm in an advocacy-group too, but there's no $11,600/month for me @ Skeptical Science, nor for the other guys - we give our time freely because we think it is important.
It's politics, I tell ya!

Maybe because it is an entirely valid point? The AGW industry is much better funded. They may have more scientific support but some of the alarmist stuff goes way over the top. Greenpeace depend on alarmism for their existence.

As I've said before, the battle isn't here at UKww as we are primarily a bunch of weather-enthusiasts, but there are some members who are active in the wider world for whom this item would be of much interest, just as there was when the Climategate story broke over two years ago. Chris, I did not suggest that following my links was compulsory: they were intended for those with an active interest in what has become the Climate Wars. You are more than welcome to scroll past them!
Cheers - John
No battle, you say, John?
Climategate two years ago? You did take a look at Climategate II right?
search on Ed Cook or Keith Briffa. There are some really interesting insights there.

Sorry, personally I find climategate and the associated illegal e-mail hijacking reprehensible and inappropriate. As it is allowed under the guidelines this conversation can continue; however, my preference would be that we either discuss the politics in general or reference legitament political points of evidence. But, hey thats just me carry-on...

Hey Day,
Okay sure, I'll carry on. If you took a moment and examined some of those exchanges, you might become enlightened.
There are frank conversations between scientists
about how they try to deal with analyses and problems they struggle with doing the science.
In the Climategate 2 emails it becomes obvious in the emails I looked at that so many scientists worry about what Michael Mann will think if they disagree with him. It is simply remarkable
that one person with an agenda will suppress the facts in order to bring about changes in policy. In science, your findings dictate what you report. You don't manipulate your findings to fit a preconceived scenario.
Posted 16 February 2012 - 07:56
DeSmog, in its response to Heartland's charges, stood by its initial report.
"DeSmogBlog has received no direct communications from the Heartland Institute identifying any misstatement of fact in the "Climate Strategy" document," it said.
The nature of the "theft" charges by Heartland was also not immediately clear. Lakely, in his statement, explains that a staff member, persuaded by "an unknown person", mistakenly sent the documents to an unfamiliar email address.
Clear as Mississippi mud, in other words! In the meantime, Skeptical Science notes that: Heartland could easily prove the strategy document is a fake by releasing the email which they claim contained the released documents.

IMHO there are a lot of things out there that are more certain and more important in my eyes such as protecting and enhancing biodiveristy and preventing further ecosystem degredation.
If we focus more on caring for and protected the environment then surely that will benefit everyone and everything. We are still placing too much emphasis on CO2 and I'm affraid that it is just being used as both a cash cow for governments and big business and as a scapegoat to hide more important damage being done to our world.
It is sad that as a society we seem to have taken our eye off the ball due to a (frankly rather ugly) streaker on the pitch.
It would be a sad indictment of our times if projects like HS-2 (a project I'd like to succeed) and the Thames Estuary airport (a project I am against) were allowed to proceed without proper environmental assessments.
Granted that even wildlife protection is rife with mud slinging, propoganda and in-fighting but at least the waters are far less muddy. The problems can be seen by scientists and none scientists alike, unlike with AGW and CO2.

Unfortunately John you will have the same general crowd after you for wanting those proper environmental assessments. Totally agree with you, of course, but there is a mindset out there that says we can do what the hell we want and sod the consequences. As we discussed in Chris' thread, AGW is just one of a set of symptoms that indicate that we cannot treat the natural environment with cavalier disregard.

Yes I am just in the process of reading Chris' thread. I missed it until just now. It certainly echoes a lot of my sentiments.
I might have a lot of the same crowd after me but at least I'd feel like I was on firmer and higher ground while trying to fight my corner than with AGW.
Thanks, John

Maybe somebody realises that this demonizing the opponent is what I mean by the dominating species
For a group to thrive, you need an enemy -a basic instinct- and if you don't have one you make one. That's what you see happening here.
The concept of the enemy is well covered in the field of Peace and conflict studies, which is available as a major at many major universities. In Peace studies, enemies are those entities who are perceived as frustrating or preventing achievement of a goal. The enemy may not even know they are being regarded as such, since the concept is one-sided.
Thus, in order to achieve peace, one must eliminate the enemy. This can be achieved by either by:
- destroying the enemy
- changing one's perception of an entity as enemy
- achieving the goal the enemy is frustrating
This desire to have enemies is also the first stage that leads to genocide, and obviously this step is clearly accomplished.
It's beyond words that UKww is instrumental for this kind of practice.
Posted 16 February 2012 - 09:24
Meanwhile, the Guardian notes this apparent contradiction:
On Wednesday, however, Heartland said DeSmog and others should be "ashamed" of writing about the documents before the thinktank could comment. Lakely also asked bloggers and journalists to take down the documents and refrain from quoting them.

When I was a little kid the holocaust memory of the second world war was very fresh for every adult, and most conversations came down to the question, how on earth could it have happened? How can normal persons, joined in a nation can go so low that they massacre another group, being dead sure that they have to do that to make the world a better place. Everybody was flabbergasted and so was I.
But not anymore. Now I understand that mechanism.

Instrumental in what practice? What are you alleging UKww is promoting?
Honestly, we see people's private emails stolen, we've seen a decade of vile allegations (including death threats) hurled at climate scientists and there's not a whisper of condemnation from your ilk and yet when the boot is on the other foot (and for the very first time) you play the 'you lot want mass murder' card. Get real man!

Now is it so hard to understand that we see exactly that same mechanism here? Demonizing the out group, those who are different and do not agree. You need a good enemy to make friends, and the louder you shout, the more preparedness you show to anihilate that enemy, the higher you climb in the pecking order. That's where we are in the climate war. And everything is allowed in war, creating some fake papers is nothing. But will it stop there? Can we stop this madness?

andre, on 16 February 2012 - 10:09, said:
Yes! Start first by condemning all the vile allegations people like Dr Michael Mann have faced for more than a decade. Then condemn the insults Dr James Hansen faces on a routine basis.
Me? I condemn it all, whoever it's directed at.

Not a lot of mid-European had the desire to anihilate anybody back in the 1930s, but with the constant cross fire of demagogery speeches slowly but inevibly the message came through that there was a horrendus sub-human enemy out there that needed to be ausradiert.
Now we hear constantly that there is a vile group of deniers, who seem to smoke with cancer or something, who successfully prevent that we save the world from global warming. If we want to save the world, they must be ausradiert.
Meanwhile with the evidence from AGW exposed and refuted that urge appears to become stronger and stronger. So the science is no longer the issue, we desperately need that war. There mst be an enemy somewhere.

Winter 2012/2013 with Gabrieli
Gabrieli have had an incredibly busy winter with performances and
recordings throughout November, December and January. We began November with a performance of
Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno
for Martin Randall Travel
at the beautiful historic Palazzo
Colonna in Rome, before returning immediately to the UK for two performances of our Purcell and Britten programme
Three Odes for St Cecilia
at the Bath MozartFest and The Sage, Gateshead. The Sage performance
formed the first evening in a mini-residency in the North-East, hosted by The Sage, being followed by a performance of
A Venetian Coronation 1595
at Durham Cathedral. This programme has been a Gabrieli
favourite for over a quarter of a
century, and it has been fantastic to perform it so widely – and even to re-record it – during our thirtieth anniversary year.
December was taken up with an entirely new
a cappella
choral programme for Gabrieli, performed at Spitalfields Festival, for Music on the Quantocks in Taunton and recorded for Winged Lion
at Douai Abbey. This was a typically eclectic Gabrieli programme, programming Christmas repertoire from the 15th and 16th centuries alongside Howells, Leighton and Dove. The programme culminated in a
performance of Britten's
A Boy Was Born
for which we were delighted to be joined by the boys of
the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir,
the choir for which Britten's
A Ceremony of Carols
was written.
Finally, 2013 began with a bang, with
one of our most exciting projects to
date – a recording of Britten's
War Requiem
with over 300 musicians,
taking place during the first 10 days of January. For this mammoth event, soloists Susan Gritton, John Mark
Ainsley and Christopher Maltman
led an ensemble that included Gabrieli musicians, the Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir and members of the Gabrieli
Young Singers' Scheme, whose participation in the recording was the rewarding culmination of a series of gruelling training sessions throughout
the autumn! We are enormously
grateful to our friends and colleagues
at the National Forum of Music,
Wroclaw for their support of this recording, which will be the third in the Wratislavia Cantans Oratorio Series,
due for release in September 2013.

Gabrieli is an ambitious and audacious ensemble that strives to offer inspirational and thought-provoking performances and recordings, to stand out from the crowd. We are not defined by one area of repertoire, nor do we not confine ourselves to being one type of ensemble. Our work is determined by our passion and commitment to great music, not a dedication to one century or one nationality. From Morales to Mozart, Bach to Britten, our performances are defined by the desire to employ historical performance ideals and knowledge to create music anew, to deliver exhilarating and dramatic performances of great choral and instrumental repertoire from across the centuries.
"…When Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort & Players take on a project, they go the whole hog..."
The Times, August 2011
During 2012, celebrating our 30
anniversary, Gabrieli performed as an a cappella consort of 12 voices and as a choir and orchestra of over 300 musicians. Our eclectic repertoire was performed throughout the UK and Europe and ranged from well-known Gabrieli programmes such as the Morales Requiem,
A Venetian Coronation 1595
and Handel
to less familiar ground, such as Britten's
A Boy Was Born
and the Stravinsky Mass. During the course of the year we released no fewer than three recordings on Paul McCreesh's Winged Lion label:
A Song of Farewell, A New Venetian Coronation 1595 and
Visit our recordings page to buy your copy now.
2013 began in spectacular fashion, with a collaboration between Gabrieli, Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir and the Gabrieli Young Singers' Scheme to record Britten's
War Requiem
. The Gabrieli Young Singers' Scheme, launched in 2010, is a pioneering and aspirational education initiative that belongs at the very heart of our activities, offering young singers regular opportunities to sing as part of Gabrieli's professional performances and recordings. Visit the About Us section of our website to learn more about the unparalleled musical opportunities that we are determined to offer to these young singers in future seasons.
Gabrieli's ambitious programme of performances, recordings and education would not be possible without the support of our many loyal donors. We do not receive a penny of public funding. Concert fees only cover the direct artistic costs of each engagement and rarely, if ever, contribute towards our running costs and continued survival. Large-scale recording and education projects do not attract fees and rely 100% on fundraising. We urgently need to attract more donors.
How can you help? Please come to our concerts, buy our CDs, subscribe to our newsletters, tell your friends about us and invite them to join you in donating to us, whether as a one-off gift or by joining our friendship scheme and becoming part of a family of supporters that ensures the ongoing success of this demanding, eclectic, exciting and wonderful ensemble!

Downplaying the Flair
Cufflinks, like everything else, come and go in fashion. Recent moves away from the Wall Street-Master of the Universe look have put ostentatious cufflinks decidedly in the "go" phase. So, if you happen to own any of those flashy mother-of-pearl or diamond links, you've hopefully kept them properly stored for some time. But, that doesn't mean you should relegate your french cuff shirts to the depths of your closet. And, you aren't necessarily stuck with the very basic silk knots:
Instead, check out The Collar Company's colorful selection of silk knots. We just ordered a few, and at $7 a pair, they're a fresh, cheap alternative to the sterling silver variety.
Or, you could go the Charlton Heston route and advertise your manlihood:

Lovely gift from the kids to their mum (via dad) fro Mother's Day
Very pretty little ring.My only criticism was that the site does not give the approximate carat weight ,so I did not know how small it was until it arrived.I would have preferred a little bigger stones,but they are all a lovely bright colour,and is a well made ring.
I bought these as a gift for my mums birthday to match a necklace which was my grandmothers and great-grandmothers before that. My mum loved them and they were the correct style/design that I had been searching for for years. I left it very late to order these and they arrived the next day-I was so shocked at the speedy delivery and would highly recommend Blue Nile to anybody. Great service and great product 5 stars xx
Very pleased with my Necklace sits nicely round my neck and the gemstones are the perfect size.

Humorous Windows 8 advertisement illustrates its simplicity
Microsoft has published a rather humorous advertisement on its YouTube channel, which illustrates just how simple Windows 8 is. Consumers are shown to be hovering around a Windows counter with a handful of demonstration PC units available.
An employee approaches said members of public to enquire if they require any assistance, which leads to a child to pop out with a stool to run the weary traveller through the delights of the new operating system. The video is recorded in Portugal and is in the native language with subtitles.
It's an interesting take on marketing the new product, since it is visually easier to use with huge typography and massive Live Tiles on a start screen. The added touch focused interface ensures that consumers feel at home when using a PC, tablet or a Windows Phone (which sports a similar UI).
Source: YouTube; thanks, merciaketi, for the tip!

Haha cute, I love using Win 8 even on my PC, I'll have to get a tablet one day though. Surface II maybe?
_Haitian says:
Absolute genius! Way better than Facebook chair commercial that still doesn't make any sense to me.
rockstarzzz says:
Don't you mean Facebook's chair commercial?
jaimeastin says:
Super nice! Hopefully it gets on TV. Way better than the cool but non advertising surface dancing commercial. This video is intriguing, informative, and cute. Just what would get the publics eye.
Screw YouTube and Google though... I have not been able to view HD content on my Lumia 920
Kasper M says:
Use Metrotube mate then it works smooth for me,. http://www.windowsphone.com/da-dk/store/app/metrotube/8d93224f-2808-e011-9264-00237de2db9e

Alan Lucas says:
Metrotube has been working terrific on my Lumia 800 for quite some time now. :)
jonathan sink says:
Supertube and metrotube both do HD video. I slightly prefer supertube but both are great.
Judge_Daniel says:
Slightly belittling, but cute, nonetheless.
Quin 2013 says:
I don't see how its belittling anyone. I see a very clear point that even kids can use this very easily, how much easier would it be for adults?
TheWarIsNotOver says:
The problem is that it's easier for kids, than for adults. The smart thing about this commercial is that it's based on the faulty thought that adults should be better than kids at doing such tasks, which is not necessarily the case.
GoodThings2Life says:
I think it's great, and a bit humbling... how stubborn and arrogant must we be as adults if we can't learn something that a kid can do?
ymcpa says:
The difference is that kids want to learn and experoiment. Adults generally don't. That is why adult look like deer in headlights whenever anything new is introduced to them.
jbrandonf says:
A few if them looked a little miffed. And the second guy to get the demo creeped me out when he was touching the kids shoulder.
imZadok says:
I agree. It's funny, but can also be taken as insulting. Gogo Apple Genius advertising campaign...
sholokov says:
I'd rather have a kid help me out who knows what's up than a genius with no clue.
Aldoron says:
Its only belittling if you are too proud to admit someone might know more than you, even a kid.
jonathan sink says:
podsnap says:
Agreed. None of the adults seemed to be insulted, in fact they seemed to enjoy it and get the point, that it really is simple.
Awesome ad. They should air this (even if they don't do local versions) in the UK and elsewhere.
Alan Lucas says:
That's the beauty of this ad. It's cute where others (who shall remain nameless) trying similar come across as condescending. This is one smart advert.
texantony says:
Superbowl material :-)

Rockartisten says:
It's one of those situations where you find yourself smiling and say to yourself: - Man up, it's just a commercial.!
mango.lover says:
More cute than funny I would say. Made me choke up to be honest.

Flan Tamarind says:
That warm fuzzy feeling. =D
CoZmicShReddeR says:
Watching that makes me want a touch screen W8 laptop!
Quin 2013 says:
Yeah, me too. I'm seriously looking it up right after I post this.
hopmedic says:
I have an HP dv6t, with touch, bought because I wanted touch for developing for Windows Phone. One suggestion, look before you buy. Look at hinge construction. Touch screen hinge will need to take more wear. I have epoxy inside my laptop where the plastic of the case broke from the excess hinge "abuse" of being touched.
Quin 2013 says:
Thanks for the heads up. I never new about that.
JPDVM2014 says:
Me too. Made me realize how much I'm missing by running windows 8 on my old laptop.
rocketboy says:
So far I'm enjoying my Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch. I'm still not yet remembering that I can touch the actual screen at times. It does give Win 8 a totally different feel than from on my desktop. I wish I had money to get a Surface Pro tablet and the touch laptop, but the latter's superior keyboard trumps the minor convenience of better portability in the tablet. In the end I'm as much a creator as a consumer.
Iain_S says:
Very funny and good video, this should be played to every tech jerk that thinks windows 8 is so hard to use.
dainla says:
Everytime I talk to those guys I tell them this technology is for the next generation and they sound like old men screaming about the new. Having a 3 year old, the advantages of Windows 8 is obvious. They are growing up with touch screens. They try to touch televisions. This is the future.
lippidp says:
I think you're right, but I hate it. Touchscreens make my fingers hurt. As long as they never remove mouse/keyboard support in fine with it, but I fear the next version will be touch only just like there are no WP8's with keyboards.
TheArcaneFlame says:
They are NOT going to remove mouse and keyboard support! Also, how the hell are you using a touchscreen that it causes your fingers to hurt?! WTF? Where do people come up with this crap?!
Alan Lucas says:
Touchscreens hurt fingers? Typing must be absolute torture.
t-bill says:
Very effective ad. Watch the body language of the people as they relax and simply enjoy. Really, this works on so many levels. Very nicely done!
Agent-P says:
I noticed that too. After the initial shock of seeing a kid walk up to do the demo, they all returned to normal once the demo actually started.
Agent-P says:
This was a cute commerical. I really liked it. And the music was a pretty brilliant choice. I would like to see commericals like this in other countries too.
WPenvy says:
Definitely. They should add an english version to broadcast here in State-side
unstoppablekem says:
TheVillagePrince says:
SUPERB!! absolutely SUPERB!!
well done, MS!!
That ending!.. hahaha.. genius!
jsnod25 says:
That ending caught me by surprise. I laughed because I expected an adult to come back. Very funny.
Eddie_Lomax says:
The ending did make me laugh too, a very well done advert, they really need to get this one out on the airwaves as it beats the "everything at once" theme for the other stuff which just gives the impression that its hard work, this instead is enjoyable.
cowboy620 says:
Love wins 8 cute commercial I want to see what nokias releasing for a tablet if make them to match my phones red and yellow I'll get 2. Red for me yellow for my wife.
Ty mcst for a great e,speriance always loved windows love it even more. Wp8 rocks can't wait testing office 2013 live it so far.
jsnod25 says:
Inquire, not enquire... Just FYI
Narun says:
It's the same bloody thing! Just a matter of spelling preference, although the former carries a more formal tone to it.
jsnod25 says:
Not entirely. While the word does exist its context is favored in the use of asking a question i.e. "May i enquire as to where you got your education?" vs a statement for the other, "If someone where to inquire about your education, I'll let you know promptly." The Latin version started with an "I" and the French version with an "E" and they both still exist, but as you said yourself, the "former is more formal", and as I prefer, its less French... Inquire works in all contexts as well, so just use the damn thing.
schlubadub says:
Inquire looks bizarre to me because it is primarily the US spelling. I consider the English (from England) spelling and usage more correct than any latin or french. You are correct that they are interchangeable depending on the context but I would say that enquire is more correct in the article as they are asking a question (enquiring if they need help) not performing a formal investigation (grand jury inquiry). If in doubt stick with enquire/enquiry :P
jsnod25 says:
I think your right about it being a US thing, enquire sticks out to me like a sore thumb immediately. Both are used to ask questions by definition, and are interchangeable, but I still think context determines proper use. Though to be honest, being in the US I would never opt to use enquire by default. It has to be a regional preference for sure.
hwangeruk says:
It's not a regional preference, English comes from England. You just need to realise that localised version you use is a mistake ;)
To investigate:
Inquiry (normally a police or government or forma stylel investiation)
Enquire, to ask after or pose a question. Most defintely E. You can argue your point all day long, but E is correct in this context. :)
schlubadub says:
*high-five* :)
fdesa12 says:
That was cute. Quite effective too. Very few words, lots of body language, all with the basic slogan "so easy a kid can do it".
Jason De Castro says:
I love this commercial. I'm really happy with Microsoft's advertising since windows 8 and wp8
addicusbrown says:
Man that is a cool little commercial.
tallgeese says:
That's the type of ad that make audiences take notice! Several language versions need to be made and aired on TV - not just YouTube!
ebradley says:
Not everyone uses YouTube a lot. I do not.
jsnod25 says:
It needs to be on TV...
Livebetas says:
The advertising video of the year!
sepatown says:
I absolutely agree. This commercial is genius.
Nisse Tuta says:
Loved it :)
Rotmm says:
Ending was the best part :)
Luminatic says:
nizzon says:
Awesome :D
Lerosbeef says:
Love it! Won't get on American TV, they don't like to know other countries exist

peper-eliot says:
HaibaneReki says:
Cuteness overload =D loved the ending too. =)
Marty Larsson says:
Genius Lol, A great advert should be shown to the mass via tv ads to show potential customers Windows 8 isn't all that hard to adjust to :) Hold on to I get my colleague hahaha great touch at the end.
rockstarzzz says:
Has anyone emailed this video link to Verge and other blogs who bashed it like a rotten fish? Hard, my arse.
pulkit10 says:
"BUT it is wayyy tooo complex! All those buttons are larger now! Makes them even harder to use! and omg, I can't see the time without pulling from the side. It is no Windows 7! (which was no Windows XP!!!)"
I feel ya buddy. I also cringed everytime people told me how hard the new "Office ribbon" was to use - what do you mean? Digging around in menus is easier than clicking a large button in front of your eyes?
LuigiWP says:
Bellissimo spot
Beautiful ad *.*
Aggemam says:
LOL. Nice ad. :-)
Garghas says:
Haha, nice to see an ad from my country being shown around. Filmed at Fnac I think, in Lisbon. One of the best chains of tecnology retail stores in Portugal...
poiman says:
True! Actually the guy who calls the kid helped me solving the problems I was having with my Samsung ATIV Smart PC like 2 months ago :D
Livebetas says:
Yes is a Lisbon in Fnac at a PCEXPERIENCE zone.
PCEXPERIENCE is a Microsoft Store Made in Portugal :)
rocky 710 says:
It shows how simple the windows8
Cool one and the ending damn good
Reminds me the bill gates and Steve Ballmer ads for PC (what is love, da da da)
cedarlog says:
this video put nay sayers into a big hole of shame
xmarklive says:
i got sad atbthecend when he said let me go get help, because i thought he was going to get an adult which would of ruined the whole thing.
MajickmanW says:
inside man 55 says:
Awesome commercial! One of the reasons I switched to wp8 was ease of use, reduced lag, and technology. I found more features when I went on. Wife got me a surface, love it, except the site I was going to use to study for my exams is not on Microsoft's white list for flash :/
tonywlee says:
There was a trick, on this site I think, for editing the Microsoft white list for flash..
inside man 55 says:
I figured there had to be. It is a good point and I am going to go search for it. But something large happened in my life I have to return the surface anyway. Thanks for the help.
power18002003561 says:
the Guy at the end is an ass "how much ram does it it take to install windows " hope that little girl answer it!!!
ishredthecello says:
I guess theyare bringing back their "I'm only 4 years old and I'm a PC" commercials back?
ltjordan24 says:
That was very cute. Microsoft should re-do that commercial for the U.S. and start running the spots on t.v.
Memristor says:
Mark Zuckerberg walks up to the kid at the 2:08 mark.
ZX9 says:
This is a million times better than the Lumia 920 ad I saw while watching The Hobbit. It basically just featured a five-year-old playing with it outside. It barely showed the phone, or even the five-year-old, and had no real ending...
Monica Ayanami says:
Yeah I too second the idea that Microsoft should remake this ad for the US market. They are very cute.
DaveGx says:
I still can't view videos through the Wpcentral app. I have Metrotube installed but it always tells me I need an app to open the video.
David Tomilson says:
I love this commercial. Brought tears to my eyes! They need to use this here in North America!
jdriscoll636 says:
My 2 year old nephew can use and iPad, this doesn't come as a surprise to me that a young child can find his/her way around Windows 8. You want to impress me, I want to see a 80 year old man/woman connect it to wifi, find and install skype, and call there relitives. That's when I will be truely impressed.
dreamfly says:
I was thinking about the same thing. Kids are known to operate tech toys easily...remember programming the VCR? An old woman doing the demo will be more effective.
prashant45 says:
very cute add .... i like it very much
DJCBS says:
And now for the sad and harsh truth:
- despite the clever idea of the spot, it is NOT aired on TV here in Portugal. And the Microsoft stands at the stores such as this one are SELDOM with anyone there to help (let alone children, obviously). Also, they are placed normally right next to the Apple stand. Which makes it worse, since the Apple stand is always filled with people toutching and trying the iPads and iMacs and iEverything. The Microsoft stands only have a couple of PC's (like in the commercial) and have ZERO Windows Phones and ZERO Surfaces.
It's ironic isn't it? We made a clever commercial, yet we are unable to sell Microsoft products to people anymore (except Office. that one still sells well).
You could blame the crisis. But that's a false argument. The iPhone 5, which costs from 1000€ (16GB) up to 1500€ (64B) over here, is in the best sellers list since it was released. No Windows Phone ever made it there despite being lower in price (that little joke with the Lumias 710/800 not being upgradable to WP8 despite having been released 2 months before the announcement of the WP8 hurted the sales of WP devices over here, badly. People who were thinking of buying Lumias ended up choosing the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3 instead. And they certainly won't pay 700€ for the Lumia 920)
Unicornageddon says:
thinkdan says:
loved it
longcipher says:
This simple ad could more than all the big-budget, dancing silliness that MS have been airing. Shoot a :30 English version of this ad and get it on TV, it's a great concept. I shoot commercials for a living, so I know what I am talking about.
WPenvy says:
Haha awesome. I just wonder when i go to my local msft store why they don't have some kind of program that allows hardcore fans to work part time just selling the devices that they're most passionate about. I had 2 more android people come up to me today to ask me about my phone. Both were in love with the UI and how slick and clear the screen on my 920 is.
tonywlee says:
Too cute.. Loved it... I had to watch it twice... Lol.. I think I'm convinced... Im going to order the Dell XPS 10..
TechnoTim says:
I don't think its funny. Its inspiring.
ankurjain1702 says:
simple yet effective
IIQuickSilverII says:
This video IS FACKING BRILLIANT!!!!
reminds me if all the "tech guru, aka trolls" that say win 8 is hard because of no start menu ....
edboogie78 says:
This is the type of commercials that Microsoft should be focused on. I've seen plenty of Windows 8 commercials on tv and nothing is even remotley enticing. I've seen the surface commercial several times with the fancy dance moves, but it really doesn't make the product more appealing to me. After watching this "simple" video. I'am more compelled to purchase a Windows 8 device. I think Microsoft needs to spend more time advertising their products and stop with the silly music video commercials. This video is the best Windows 8 commercial to date.
IIQuickSilverII says:
I agree ... Not sure they hired the right advertising company
Laura Knotek says:
That's really cute! I'm running Windows 8 on an old, non-touch PC just fine; however, I'll be getting a new touchscreen ultrabook soon.
kitelessd says:
D'awww! That kid is adorable. Microsoft really did it right with this one. They actually showed the OS and it flowing and flicking around. The commercial with all the dancers is nice and all, but I think most folks don't know what Windows 8 really is. - J

As you'll see in tomorrow (Tuesday)'s Daily Journal, I wrote a column about healthy living tips for those who have made a new year's resolution to get healthy.
I don't have a ton of space in the paper, so I thought I'd continue on here.
As I said in the paper, I am NOT a doctor. But I've lost some weight, and kept it off, in nearly two years' time, and here are some tips that helped me.
• Measure how much you've lost in terms of inches, not just pounds.
Speaking of that, you can't target one specific problem area and lose all of the weight there (otherwise my arms would look totally different, trust me). That's up to your body. You can, however, tone certain areas, and make them look a bit more fit/muscular. But that doesn't mean you will lose weight there.
Don't stress over that.
• One good way of looking at changing your diet is this: don't think about the things you're taking away, but the things you're adding in.
It's not that you're never going to eat a cookie again – it's that you're going to eat so many more fresh fruits. It's not that you're never going to enjoy a bowl of pasta again, but that you'll eat so many more fresh veggies or foods not bogged down in disgusting oil and grease. Happy swaps, not off-limits foods.
• Tips for a happy gym experience:
- good workout shoes are a must.
- I have to have good workout music, but bring anything in the gym that helps you get through a workout if you don't have much motivation.
- go to the gym when you have lots of time and don't feel like you're in such rush.
– I hate looking at the clocks on machines like treadmills or ellipticals, so I'll use a book, magazine, iPod, whatever, to cover it up so I'm not focusing on how many more minutes to go.
- as someone who suffers from social anxiety (weird coming from a reporter, I know, but I really don't handle social situations that well) – please don't be self-concious in the gym. I know I barely notice those around me when I'm working out, other than to make sure I'm not in someone else's way. Don't worry if your workout clothes don't match, if you haven't shaved your legs in a week or if you are or aren't wearing make-up. If anyone else notices, then they aren't working out very hard, now are they?
On a similar note: a gym is a place where you should feel comfortable getting sweaty. Visit a few before you pick one. Ladies, consider a women-only gym. I did, and I love it.
Also, I went into my gym with the mind-set that I wasn't there to make new friends. I've kept to myself and been pleasant with a few of the folks who are in there with me, but I don't go out of my way to be chatty (some of that goes back to the social anxiety, though). I'm there to get a work out, and that's all. But if you need an exercise buddy, get one – sometimes having that other person there will help you roll out of bed and into the gym if you know they're there waiting on you.
• I kind of mentioned this in the column, but I didn't want to go into much detail... but trust me, y'all, if you don't eat fried foods or really sugary foods for a while – basically get your body used to healthy foods – and then you have it again, your body will rebel. It will protest. It will make you wish you'd never seen a french fry, a candy bar, pasta or anything else that's pure crap for your body. At best, you'll feel slimy and sluggish and your energy level will drop. At worst, all of that will happen AND you'll get a sick stomach.
It's gross, but true. It also helps keep you on track. When you have the option of having veggies and feeling great, or having a greasy burger and fries and feeling like death, you best believe you will choose the healthier option.
Example: I used to LOVE pasta, but I have had very little of it since being diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I've had it maybe twice in the last 18 months and I've gotten sick after each meal. No more for me. Yuck.
• That being said, yes: I feel unbelievably great when I eat well and exercise regularly. I have an annoying amount of energy. I feel that incredible rush of runner's high when I run a lot. Sometimes after Zumba or a clogging class, I'm in such a good mood I almost want to punch myself. You will get addicted to that feeling. It gets better.
• This one is kind of two-fold...
Losing weight isn't physical: it's mental.
It will mess with your head.
That's probably a good thing. I didn't realize until I started this that I'm definitely a stress eater.
But the thing is, I don't know how to fix that or stop that.
And that teaches me that I don't have all of the answers.
Losing weight has also taught me that I have body image issues. What I see in my head and what shows up in the mirror do not match up; I think that's true for a lot of folks. I don't know how to fix that, either.
I'm not sure because I've never joined, but I'm pretty sure programs like Weight Watchers allow you to talk about these issues. I'm sure that helps.
What I do know is that I love feeling my body get stronger and feeling better, so I'm going to keep doing what I need to do to make that get better. If my jeans size decreases or I can buy a medium instead of an XXL, then alrighty. But I feel better, and that's what really matters.
• I kind-of hate to include this, but I wish I'd known this beforehand, so I'd be ready to deal: losing weight changes how some people treat you.
When you're overweight, most people treat you as basically invisible, if they're not being flat-out rude to you.
You lose a bunch of weight, and suddenly, people will treat you differently.
Some will be jealous and will give you back-handed compliments.
Ladies, some guys will be disgusting pigs and will try to hit on you or give you those yucky head-to-toe looks.
Basically, let all of this roll off your shoulders. Don't listen to anybody else.
Stay focused.
The best folks in your life will encourage you. Just keep listening to them. They're right: you're doing great, and you can do it.
• I'm all for giving yourself rewards when you hit gym or weight loss goals, but the best ones are the ones you didn't expect.
For example: last year I was told my eyes actually improved, because I got my sugar under control.
This past year, I hit every single fitness goal in the Journal's health screening.
Those were surprises for me, and those were the best surprises yet. When you get healthy, you'll be surprised at how it benefits literally every part of your body.
• Weight loss doesn't happen overnight.
You'll probably gain here and there, or maybe gain some back.
You'll definitely hit a plateau, the most frustrating thing ever.
But here's my main point in all of this rambling I've done: WEIGHT LOSS IS POSSIBLE.
I never thought it was, but it is. I had doctors and others tell me I couldn't – but I did.
I started this blog more than a year ago to talk about how fun and frustrating and insane losing weight can be. I think I've needed to, because I like to think I'm not alone in this.
You're not, either. If you want to talk, hit me back on here or email me (email@example.com).
I've done it for about 55 pounds. I still have about 20 more to go. Go with me, yeah?

DIRECT HIT: Latest Forecast Suggests Sandy Will Strike New Jersey
Central and Northern New Jersey would experience the "worst-case scenario," but the massive storm is expected to damage a wide area of the East Coast.
Hurricane Sandy is still packing 75 mph winds as a Category 1 storm on Saturday evening, and it could directly hit Monmouth and Ocean counties, weather forecasters say.
If so, it could be the first hurricane to directly hit the Jersey Shore in decades - maybe even a century. Other hurricanes, such as Irene in 2011, Belle in 1976 and Gloria in 1985, hugged the coast a bit before making a complete landfall in New Jersey.
The massive storm is located off the coast of the Carolinas and is traveling north at 13 mph over the open water of the Atlantic Ocean parallel to the East Coast.
Forecasters still expect the system to take a sharp left turn early on Monday morning and head toward the New Jersey coastline. At 2 p.m. Monday, while it's still offshore, the storm will have winds of 80 mph.
The National Hurricane Center said Saturday night that forecast models predicting the storm will eventually make landfall along the New Jersey coastline.
Meanwhile, the Miami-based agency said it would not lengthen the watch or warning area for the storm to locations north of areas currently under such warnings since Sandy may no longer be considered a tropical system once it reaches the Shore area.
Instead, official advisories from the storm would come in the form of high wind warnings and various marine warnings issued by local National Weather Service offices.
For Monmouth and Ocean Counties, there is a high wind watch through Tuesday afternoon. There is also a coastal flood warning for Monmouth and Ocean Counties until midnight Monday night and a flood watch through Tuesday afternoon.
In his evening forecasts, NBC40 meteorologist Dan Skeldon is suggesting that the storm could make landfall anywhere in New Jersey, somewhere in Ocean or Monmouth counties.
The strongest winds and greatest impact from a storm surge are predicted to be north of the storm. If Sandy lands north of Ocean City, central and northern New Jersey would see what Skeldon calls the "worst-case scenario." Southern New Jersey would see more rain (but still feel the effects of very strong winds).
Skeldon — who has earned a strong reputation predicting local conditions for the southern New Jersey shore — predicts winds of 60 to 80 mph on Monday in southern New Jersey.
He said the greatest impact will be during the two high tides on Monday. The first — at 8:27 a.m. at the Ninth Street Bridge on the bay side of Ocean City — would see the potentially strongest winds. The second — at 8:46 p.m. — could be mitigated by winds that may shift offshore and blow water back out to sea (if the storm does indeed make landfall north of Ocean City).
Skeldon predicted more "blowout tides" for Tuesday — with strong winds blowing from the west.
He warned that the massive storm is very dangerous and will be "a record-breaking storm for somebody," and he emphasized that slight shifts in the forecast or track of the storm could lead to dramatic changes in potential damage.
With waves of 30 to 40 feet over the open ocean and pounding surf closer to shore, beach erosion will be one of the guarantees of Sandy. Heavy rainfall of several inches will add fresh water to tidal floods of salt water.
The storm has led to a mandatory evacuation order for all of the barrier islands in New Jersey starting effective at 4 p.m. Sunday. Ocean City, Atlantic City and many other towns are included in the order — with all of the casino guests and employees required to comply.
The evacuation order, of course, forces the closing of barrier island public schools on Monday and Tuesday. But most mainland towns are also closing schools for those two days.

Dan is the man when it comes to South Jersey weather- I really hope he's correct!
10:45 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
I'm counting on him. I've got neighbors up there one of whom is having in-home hospice with a very short time to live and they are riding it out. I stayed for Irene and it turned out to be nothing and I'm hoping that this one will allow my friends safe harbor as well as all who decide to stay.

Val, if it isn't, it might be best to leave anyway. I haven't seen a complete list of towns under evac orders but just read this "Christie later tweeted a list of the 38 barrier island communities from Sandy Hook to Cape May where residents are subject to mandatory evacuations Sunday."
LB Resident
12:18 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2012
From another news site from LB OEM::
According to the latest information (Saturday, October 27, at 5:00pm) our area can expect winds from 50-65mph with gusts over 75mph. "Monday night around 9:00pm until Tuesday midday is the brunt of the storm," said Dziuba. "The seas will be around 21-feet, that is two stories." He also spoke about the tide conditions stating that normally there is about 3-to-5 hours between high tides which allows the water to recess. However, with this storm and the surges they only anticipate about 60 minutes between high tides.
What that means is significant flooding. Dziuba also stated that we will get about 8-10 inches of rain, added with the tides will create havoc in the area. "We are ordering a mandatory evacuation of our north section of town. Atlantic Avenue at Branchport Avenue all the way to the oceanfront. Police and firefighters will start to notify residents in that area on Sunday morning," added Dziuba.

Walmart will be open 24 hours untill this is over and they have half price generators. How are they open if you cant be on the road? I know for a fact because my sister works there and they had the meeting today.
1:36 am on Sunday, October 28, 2012
That's some very dubious info on walmart. I would double check all that. First of all, walmart only carries one model generator and it's tiny and long long gone. Second, how could they charge half price? They're re not a charity. Quite the contrary actually. Thirdly, how could they stay open 24 hrs even if this is half as bad as they claim. Those people have families just like us all. I can't see a minimum wage employee braving floods and power outages away from home in the name of keeping walmart open. Nonsense. Maybe tonight they'll be open all night. That's a much more likely scenario. But then again, I'm in Toms River and the situation here could be much bleaker than where your sister works.
Bill Oakley
7:28 am on Sunday, October 28, 2012
thats why their generaters are half price, no one is allowed on the road so they wont lose any money selling generaters at half price lol
6:02 pm on Monday, October 29, 2012
Dev,Do you really think that Walmart give a crap about their employees and their families?And those minimum wage employees are probably afraid that if they don't com in,they'll be fired.Those stores will stay open if they think customers will show up.

9:15 am on Sunday, October 28, 2012
I am not on twitter and turned on the TV this morning and a weather guy on the beach at Point Pleasant said what sounded like the mandatory evacuation had been rescinded but it wasn't clear what area it was for - he made it sound like all of NJ but that cant be right. This is the problem with these things - we get a lot of orders but no real information. I still know people who are taking a wait-and-see and have no definite plans.

Since power outages are inevitable having a long run time flashlight is a good idea.

Governor Christie was on TV on several channels at 2PM, will be back later with another press conference so stand by because it's about the most specific info that you will get -- maybe it would be about 6PM (maybe) as he said they are getting national weather reports about every 4 hours. He said for preparedness to go to http://www.ready.gov/ if you need a list. Obama has called him and they are ready and so on. He said school closings will be up to local area. Emphasis is on safety, anything else is secondary.

You people are so ignorant. My sister works in toms river.that's why you are having such a hard time with things like which way is south. So I suggest you read a book or two when your power goes out. Also to " Suz" weren't you the woman who said "after this storm, waterfront houses would be a good buy" ? Nothing like cashing in on other peoples problems. Or as people like you say, "down with OPP"

Take it from someone with experience down here in Hurricane Alley, have your gas grills operational or supplies for your charcoal grill. If power goes out for an extended period you'll want to cook everything in your freezer. We were out of power for 2 weeks after Hurricane Ivan in 2006 and organized community cookouts to cook and share all the food before it spoiled. Best of luck to all in my hometown!

In what town, Teri? Remember: A lot of these Hurricane Sandy stories are posted across most NJ sites, and the comments are shared on all of those sites.

Arkansas Republican House Caucus Pushes for Charter Schools
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: January 27, 2013
The Arkansas Republican house caucus is pushing for the creation of a charter school commission.
The caucus says charters promote competition and improve education quality.
The caucus also accuses the Arkansas Board of Education of being bureaucratic and anti-charter.
The issue will be debated by an education committee this coming Tuesday.
Also on Tuesday, A+ Arkansas is hosting an education rally and summit in Little Rock.
The rally is set to begin at 9:15 a.m. at the State Capitol rotunda.
The rally will feature keynote speaker Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida and chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education.
After the rally, the group will host an education summit at the Double Tree Hotel downtown.
The summit will feature a panel discussion by teachers, administrators, education experts and policy makers to discuss the education crisis in Arkansas.
