text: Bruniton is not a stainless finish, it's black. I would surmise the barrel is perhaps a stainless barrel from Beretta or an after market barrel which replaced the original. Is the slide stainless as well? If not, I would think the barrel was replaced for a stainless by a previous owner. I've just never seen or heard of Beretta manufacturing pistols w/ a Bruniton slide w/ a stainless steel barrel. Only speculation. I own a 92G police special and it's blued.

text: Not sure if the Pistons would have won with all-star KG in the lineup the whole game, but remember we were without Stuckey who is a member of the all-Dumars team, so the match up was even. Great games from TMac, who first delivered 5 assists in the first qtr and finished with 8, and then delivered the key buckets in the second half to keep the Celtics at bay. Daye came in and hit 5-6 shots in the second qtr when both teams were struggling. Even when Q tried to pull him for Tay, Tay overruled Q and told him that the "kid is playing great, leave him in there" Wilcox would be my third star, as he either grabbed boards or kept tipping them to his team mates. I have not assessed his overall defense yet, but in terms of scoring, hitting FT's and grabbing boards, he is ahead of Max on Richter scale. Good win over a the best team ...record wise ...in the east

A new NIA guest post on the USA.gov blog describes how to plan ahead before a medical emergency: "No one ever plans to be sick or disabled. But being prepared for all kinds of health situations can make all the difference in an emergency." Linking to NIA publications, the post describes how to gather important papers and give consent for advance directives. It also outlines legal and financial considerations when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and where to get more help.

I am building another 7.62X39 AR and the barrel I got has the 1/2X36 thread cut for the FH. As far as I can tell the only FH in this thread cut was made for the 9MM barrels. The A2 style, which in its self isn't so bad other than being large in diameter. :wow:
So I contacted CNC Warrior about my dilemma. They happened to have some FH fresh off the presses without thread cut in them yet. He said he would and he did!
So here is the first (as far as I know) the first option you have:
CNC Warrior :: 1/2-36 PKM Short Flash Hider $23.99
Here is the next one he said he was working on that will be on his site soon:
CNC Warrior :: Saiga Flame $37.99

"I used to think that confidence came from what other people thought about me, and boys and everything else. But now I realize that confidence comes from what I feel about myself, and reassuring myself that I can do whatever I want and be whoever I want. Just knowing and setting up my future for a great life."
"I tell myself five things that I'm grateful for, for every negative thing that I think. Another cool thing girls can do: You know how people have swear jars, where if you swear you have to put a dollar in the jar? You could do that with feeling insecure— every time a friend says something bad about themselves, they have to put a dollar in a jar. [And then] you can donate it to charity."

During the past month, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has been arguing with NATO allies over the issue of the number of soldiers being sent to Afghanistan. The Amercan commander of forces in Afghanistan, General McNeill openly clashed with his allies not only over ther failure to send sufficient troops, but on the short term stay of those personnel. He complained about "minimalist forces" who are too few in number, and, for the most part only remain for a six month tour of duty. He compared the NATO effort to that of Americans who have at least a 15 month tour of duty. This allows, according to General McNeill, an opportunity to develop "relationships with the terrain, with the indigenous pepple and their leadership, and with the enemy." The Americ an general was critical over the lack of training being given NATO forces for operations in Afghanistan.
It is now almost seven years since the Taliban was defeated and supposedly driven from Afghanistan. One would assume that over a seven year period the United States and its NATO allies would have been able to train an Afghan fighting force that could handle any insurgency. The goal should not be for American or NATO forces to learn about the terrain or form relationships with the local population, but this should be the task of Afghan soldiers. General McNeill complains over Canadian soldiers spending time in training activities rather than fighting. Perhaps, if more time was spent in training an Afghan army there would not be need for American and NATO forces in the country.
Admiral Mullen is now calling for reducing deployment time from 15 months to 12.

I have a Glock 19, SA 1911, Beretta 92FS, and am now looking to add a revolver to my collection. Target shooting, nightstand pistol.
Have narrowed it down to SP101, GP 100, S&W 686 Plus. What are your experiences with these revolvers?

I have a Glock 19, SA 1911, Beretta 92FS, and am now looking to add a revolver to my collection. Target shooting, nightstand pistol.
Have narrowed it down to SP101, GP 100, S&W 686 Plus. What are your experiences with these revolvers?
S&W have better triggers, less grainy IMHO.......might want to check out S&W model 60.
There are a lot of used Smith's out there...might be another direction?
Recent GP100 triggers are very nice, not grainy. If you want to carry it get the SP101 or a J frame.
If for range and bedside get the GP100 4 inch. It will tame those full power .357's and make .38spl feel like a .22.
I opted for the GP100 and have zero regrets.
I have the 686 with the 4' barrel. I use it for home protection, target ans as a carry gun when fly fishing. It has a nice trigger (factory) and is well balanced. Absolutely no complaints other than I should have bought one with a 6" barrel if I ever decide to hunt with it.
of your three for home and range only - then the S&W 686 6"
from 38 spl to hot 357 loads the vast energy range will cover all your needs
i have read a lot of people regard it as the best 357 on the market today
For CC the Ruger LCR is also a good option they are light, compact and have a great DAO trigger. With 38 spl. +P they are pleasant to shoot and they are accurate although they are vary unpleasant with 357 magnum rounds. The SP101 is pleasant with any ammo but heavier to carry and the GP100 is built to last a lifetime and handle any magnum load, they are a perfect choice for hunting, range use or home defense.
I agree with CJS. My wife and I went to a larger GS than what we have in our town. The nice gentleman showed me a Taurus 85 Polymer. When firing DA the trigger was long and hard, but SA was very smooth. I stopped at Cabelas after my doctor appointment, and I was able to hold a Ruger LCR .357 revolver that is DAO. Was I surprised when trying the trigger, it was very smooth and not hard at all. I liked it so much that I stopped at my LGS on the way home and ordered one. It should be in week after next. This should pretty much fill our arsenal for now.
Good luck in your search and keep us posted.
I have shot a couple of 686s and the GP100, all of them in 4 inch barrels.
The only advantage I would give to the S&W is that the trigger was consistently nicer. The trigger is great on the GP100, but S&W triggers seem to be a little crisper and very light.
Knowing this, I got the GP100. To me, the slight trigger advantage was not worth the $200+ additional dollars in cost. Personal preference... the GP100 feels like a sturdier piece to me and was more comfortable in my hand. I've shot many hundreds of rounds through it - both 357 and 38 special - no issues at all. I really like this gun - well balanced, nice trigger, low recoil, very accurate.
I did replace the front sight with a Ruger sight that has a red marker (cheap cost, easy to replace at home). The stock sight was black which didn't provide much contrast against the rear black sights.
The s&w 686+ is also already drilled for optics. So if you want to drop a red dot on it....it is easy. The gp100's I have looked at weren't drilled.
I would also say find a range where you an rent or a friend who has some of what you want and try those. With that said don't forget used, I have several wheel gun both S&W and Rugar and others. Older wheel gun maybe not as popular as others but look at them, S&W mods 19, 60, and other "K" frames and in 4 or 6 inch depending what you want them for, (I have both sizes). At a gun show with everybody wanting the newest, youmight find some great deals on older but in great shape sheel guns.
Shoot safe and have fun doing it.
The 686 blows the Rugers out of the water. The Ruger revolvers are also very nice, don't get me wrong, its just that 686 is an outstanding piece. If you have the extra money, go with that
If you can find a Colt Python, I would recommend that. I have one, original owner, and the trigger is awesome.
I have seen some, and they are pricey, but they appear to be holding value pretty well. I think I paid around $300 for mine, 30 some years ago, and you can add a 1 in front of that price now for one.
I have both a 4 inch and a 6 inch GP100. They are also very easy to mount optics on without drilling. Weigand makes a very nice rail that uses the front and rear sight attachments. I have had a scope on my 6 inch for over a year. It shoots less than ¾" groups at 25 yards over a sandbag. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/p...IMG_2081sm.jpg
my choice would be the 686+ for home defense simple operation ,awesome reputation and my wife can use it .I load win defender +p rounds for reduced recoil

Fixture News | 10th May 2005
Fleming smashes Surrey
Frizzell County Championship Division One
May 6-9
Surrey 217 (Ealham 4-53)
Notts 692-7 declared (Fleming 238, Gallian 141, Bicknell 91, Hussey 74, Ealham 57*)
Surrey 404 (Swann 4-94)
Notts won by an innings and 71 runs
Our captain's brilliant 238 from 236 balls helped set up the innings victory and put us on top of Division One.
Fleming thinks we have what it takes to be there at the end of the season and said: "I know there's a long way to go, but all of the team are feeling very confident and that leads to great performances.
"If we're top come the end of the season, it would be fantastic and the momentum we are generating at the moment puts us in a good position to do so.
"Surrey have been one of the strongest counties in England for a number of years and this win gives us even more belief that we can do well in Division One as well as adding to our momentum."
After bowling Surrey out for 217, Darren Bicknell and Jason Gallian knocked the stuffing from the home side with an opening stand of 178 before Fleming turned the screw with the third double century of his career.
David Hussey and Mark Ealham added quick runs as we declared on 692-7 - our third highest total in history - and we finished off the Surrey second innings with about an hour to spare.
Added Fleming: "I was delighted to help the team and the fact that I batted in two big partnerships with Gallian and Hussey made my job a lot easier and more fun.
"The rate at which we are scoring is going to help us win games and the fact that we have scored so heavily in three successive matches suggests we are a very good side."

Hello TWIMers - In TWIM 26 I heard the listener email asking if you would consider offering continuing education credit for your podcasts, and you understandably cited the work that would you need to do (such as writing learning objectives, tests etc) as a real barrier to that. I was wondering if you would consider "contracting" that kind of work out to some of your listeners; being a teacher of a microbiology class at a community college, I spend a large amount of time coming up with learning objectives, tests etc anyhow, and it would help me to generate fresh material for my students from your podcasts. I wouldn't be surprised if there were others in your listening base who might feel the same. This still would add work for you, so I understand if its a no-go.
In a separate vein: quite a while ago I was doing dishes and listening to a TWIM. As I was using a sponge to wipe off the counter a ridiculous question popped into my head (as opposed to my toe, I guess): are there strains of bacteria that can provide a protective commensal role on environmental surfaces? A counter top is nothing like a biological surface, as only the latter should have organic material to eat on it, but still, is there any evidence in any situation that something like this happens? Please read the following sentence with extra emphasis: I am not fishing for an excuse to get out of doing the dishes, and I regularly boil our kitchen sponges and use bleach to Pokies clean the counters.
Keep up the great work!

Dear TWIM-team,
Greetings from a longtime listener and fan of all three TWI-podcasts. I'm a biotechnology Masters student at the University of Helsinki, Finland, but I earn my living as a part-time driver in the world's most northern metro. Your podcasts help me pass the dull hours at work so that I feel like I'm doing something to advance my studies as well.
I've been thinking of writing for quite a while. Now that I'm finally doing it, I have a rather general suggestion and a link. The suggestion is, I'd like to hear more about the archaea - maybe even an entire episode dedicated to them. They seem like such a mystery. At least at my home university, they're almost always just mentioned as an aside, while the bacteria get all the attention. The one time they were actually discussed on a course, I learned that they are not just extremophiles, but actually all around us, just like bacteria. This made the fact that there are no pathogenic archeae seem even more curious to me.
As for the link, it's for the Earth Microbiome Project: http://www.earthmicrobiome.org/
I just ran across it today, and don't remember this project being mentioned on TWIM before. I think the idea is awesome, not to mention really ambitious, maybe even overly so. What do you think, is creating even a rough map of the microbiome of our entire planet an attainable goal? And would it be a useful resource for research?
Thanks for the inspiring and informative podcasts,

Students pursuing the Minor in Art History through the College of Art and Design supplement their core education with exposure to influential artistry originating from cultures across the civilized world.
The Art History minor allows students to expand their cultural literacy in the fine arts, by studying artistic works and theory from an expansive range of cultures, global locales and historical periods. College of Art and Design students expand on the Art History curriculum provided through their program requirements only require six additional credits to earn a a minor in this discipline.
Students outside the College of Art and Design are required to complete 12 departmental credits, in courses focusing on art in Western civilizations, as well as modern theory and practice in design, photography and animation. Elective courses encourage Art History minors to pursue study of artistic works in Africa and Asia, as well as landmark periods in American art and new media.
This course introduces students to the main currents of contemporary critical theory, including phenomenology, post-structuralism, and deconstruction. Discussion focuses on artists working in mediums of painting, installation art, performance art, new media, cinema, and poetry. Readings offered in the course help students to become active in analysis and critical response.
Examining selected case studies of artistic practices from different historical eras, in a range of cultures across the content, the Arts of Africa course analyzes how different worldviews contribute to shaping diverse aesthetic models. The class also examines the choice of specific formal and technical means, and how art plays a crucial role in rituals of transformation, regeneration, power and identity.

Susan Ashbrook, Art History Faculty - "Effective learning requires engagement with the material. By exploring the work of artists of the past and recent past I hope to bring their accomplishments to life for students in a meaningful way that can inform and enrich their own endeavors. In today's world critical perspective is essential for success in the arts as it is in most careers."

|One of my favorite things to do is create content that you, our users, can directly use to adopt and implement our products. Luckily for me, my job allows me to spend a considerable time doing just that for our WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. In the course of this kind of work, I use multiple different mediums to hand over what I hope is helpful content to you. This includes blogs, articles, demos, and the WebSphere CloudBurst Samples Gallery.
|While I like creating content for all of these forums, if I had to pick a favorite, I'm going to go with the samples gallery every time. The reason for this is simple. Users can download and directly use the content in the samples gallery. The samples gallery plays host to script packages, CLI scripts, and other tools that are ready to use with WebSphere CloudBurst (of course, one can also extend these or simply use them as reference). Further, the samples in the gallery are mostly direct responses to suggestions or requests I get from users regarding this type of content, thus increasing its usefulness and relevance.
|A good example of the kinds of assets in the gallery is the latest script package I put out there. Recently, I was talking to a user and asked, 'What do you do every single time you establish a WebSphere Application Server environment?' He outlined a few different tasks, one of those being the creation of virtual hosts in the server's configuration. The creation of virtual hosts piqued my interest because many users do that, and the configuration logic itself is fairly consistent regardless of the administrator doing the task. Therefore, I set about creating a sample script package that you can use to create virtual host configuration in WebSphere Application Server.
|The script package does two things. It creates virtual host entries, and it configures host aliases for these entries. The script allows the user to supply the data for the entries and aliases they want to create via a properties file. The properties file is pretty basic and allows for the configuration of multiple host aliases for each virtual host entry. Here is an example properties file:
vhost_1=system_test vhost_1_alias_1_hostname=systemtest.com vhost_1_alias_1_port=81 vhost_1_alias_2_hostname=systemtest.com vhost_1_alias_2_port=9081 vhost_2=perf_test vhost_2_alias_1_hostname=perftest01.com vhost_2_alias_1_port=82 vhost_2_alias_2_hostname=perftest01.com vhost_2_alias_2_port=9082 vhost_2_alias_3_hostname=perftest02.com vhost_2_alias_3_port=83 vhost_2_alias_4_hostname=perftest02.com vhost_2_alias_4_port=9083
|The script package parses the data from a properties file like the one above, and it creates the appropriate WebSphere Application Server configuration. If you are using WebSphere CloudBurst and this kind of configuration task is common for your deployments, you may want to download this free sample. I also want to point out that there are quite a few more samples that are completely free for you to download in the gallery. Check them out and let me know what you would like to see in the samples gallery!

text: Manuscripts Collection http://hdl.handle.net/10500/2855 2017-05-18T07:30:53Z Marié Rautenbach Collection of Walter Battiss Materials 1974-1983 (MSS Acc 191) http://hdl.handle.net/10500/13093 Marié Rautenbach Collection of Walter Battiss Materials 1974-1983 (MSS Acc 191) Coetzee, Marié A Renée Roos, Marié Rautenbach's daughter, donated the correspondence (22 items), copies of sketches, invitations to Battiss exhibitions and photographs to the Unisa Library Archives in 2013. Marié Rautenbach, née Wium, was born on 13 September 1920. She graduated with a BA degree from the University of Stellenbosch in 1940 and soon afterwards started her career at the National Library in Pretoria. She purchased her first Battiss painting in 1970. From 1973 until she retired in 1980, Marié was employed as a librarian by the University of Pretoria. She met and befriended Walter Battiss through John Wickens, a fellow librarian and mutual friend. The Marié Rautenbach Collection of Walter Battiss Materials (MSS 191) compliments the John Wickens Scrapbook of Walter Battiss Materials (MSS 140) in the Unisa Archives. There are many references and cross references to both Marié and John in these accessions. Together with the Walter Battiss - Dacre Punt Correspondence (MSS189), these Collections provide the researcher with some insight into the weird and wonderful life of the remarkable, talented, creative and enigmatic artist. Many of the Battiss letters are beautifully illustrated. He was a master calligrapher and his handwriting often varied from one letter to another. In his correspondence with Marié Rautenbach, Battiss wrote about experiences abroad, family, friends and even his impatience plant. He comes across as a kind and sympathetic friend - your letter consoles me that friendship can help cure. Battiss shared his thoughts on art and his Fook Island philosophy with Marié. The true artist knows more than the eye sees. Is the evidence of our own lives, of the birth and death of the flesh, not at once a reminder of our own flimsy material existence; and are the arts not the visible shadows of the invisible spiritual presences that inhabit temporal man. The Marié Rautenbach Collection of Walter Battiss Materials (MSS 191) is of great research value to scholars interested in the life and artistic career of Walter Battiss. The flamboyant artist died in 1982 and Marié Rautenbach in September 2002.

The archival materials of the two Clubs have interesting information on prominent members of society who were active in the social and economic development of the region over many decades. The history of the Clubs is also about the history of Pretoria, its people and the sporting events that took place in the capital city. The Papers of the two Clubs contain information on the social, cultural and economic history and development of the city and its people. The Pretoria Club dates back to February1885, when the Club was founded by Richard Kelsey Loveday and 54 other signatories. The Club was established to promote social intercourse amongst Gentlemen resident in the Transvaal. Many leading citizens of Pretoria such as TW and TC Beckett, Edmund Bourke, Carl Jeppe, CJ Juta, Piet Marais, EPA Meintjies, AH Nellmapius, Carl Uekermann, Gen. JC Smuts, Justice JS Curlewis, HC Jorrisen, G Rissik and HL Abrahamse were members of the Club. Over the years many distinguished guests visited the Club, including the Prince of Wales, Prince George (later the Duke of Kent), Earl Haig and Baron Haig of Bermersyde and Charles Roberts Swart (first State President of the RSA). In 1935 TCW Dod said in his Notes on the earlier history of the Club - Two features remain, and we trust always will remain unchanged, the club's reputation for hospitality to visitors, and that neither politics nor racialism has ever entered into its cosmos. The Pretoria Country Club opened on 8 October 1910. Since its inception many dedicated members of the Club have given much of their time and energy to the development of the Club. Thanks to the endeavours of chairmen, committee members, organisers and team members of the various sporting sections, managers, catering and bar staff, golf professionals, gardeners, groundsmen and others, the Pretoria Country Club has become one of the most attractive and progressive clubs in the country. Unfortunately some of the earlier archival records of the club are missing. The minutes of the general committee meetings date from 1921 onwards, whereas the Executive Committee minutes date from 1966. Inventory in the Unisa Archives, Manuscripts Collection (Mss Acc 149) 66 Boxes. 2014-01-20T00:00:00Z John Wickens' Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials (C1912; 1947-1994) (MSS Acc 140) http://hdl.handle.net/10500/11966 John Wickens' Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials (C1912; 1947-1994) (MSS Acc 140) Coetzee, Marié A John Wickens' Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials (c1912, 1947-1994) (1 Box, 0.1 linear metres) The John Wickens' Scrapbook of Walter Battiss materials was donated to the Unisa Library Archives by John's sister, Mrs. Pat Franklin of Cape Town, in 2001. John Wickens, a friend of Battiss and a librarian by profession, died circa 2000. Wickens had lovingly kept a Scrapbook on the life and artistic career of his friend Walter Battiss (1906-1982). Walter Battiss started his teaching career at the Pretoria Boys' High School in 1936. He married Grace Anderson, a well-known art-educationalist, in 1940 and moved to Giotto's Hill, Menlo Park, Pretoria, where he stayed until his death. Battiss was appointed as the first professor and Head of the Department of History of Art and Fine Arts at Unisa in November 1964. He retired in 1971 and in the same year, Walter Battiss was awarded an Honorary DLitt et Phil degree in recognition of his contribution to the development of art and art appreciation in South Africa. Prof Walter Battiss was an enthusiastic traveler who loved visiting islands, Europe, USA, UK, Africa and the Middle East. Battiss held many solo exhibitions in South Africa and abroad. An excellent correspondent, Battiss wrote many letters to his friends in South Africa, including to John Wickens. Walter Battiss died at the age of 76 at his holiday home in Port Shepstone. The numerical order of the items in the inventory reflects the original order within the Scrapbook. The contents of the Scrapbook (c1912, 1947-1994), consist of illustrated correspondence and envelopes, art catalogues, poetry, invitations to art exhibitions, stamps, Fook Nooks, press cuttings, photographs of Battiss, sketches and a 1982 poster AprilFooks Day. The archival materials are of great research value to scholars interested in Battiss' oeuvre, as well as in the development, history and teaching of twentieth-century South African art.

He studied philosophy at the University of Ghent under Colle. In 1923, at the age of 24, he completed his doctorate magna cum laude on the philosophy of the 1908 Nobel Prize winner, Rudolf Eucken. Two years later he became Professor of Logic, Metaphysics and History of Philosophy at his Alma Mater. In 1937 the University of Glasgow conferred an honorary doctor's degree on De Vleeschauwer for his many research articles on the German philosopher, Immanuel Kant. During World War ll Prof De Vleeschauwer was Director-General of Tertiary Education in Belgium. He immigrated to South Africa in 1950. After a brief period as a library assistant at the University of Pretoria Library, Prof Herman Jean de Vleeschauwer accepted a lecturing post in philosophy at the University of South Africa in 1951. He later became head of the Department. From 1955 onwards, Prof de Vleeschauwer was also responsible for the Department of Library Science. In 1964 Professor De Vleeschauwer retired from Unisa. He died in 1986. He left his vast personal archive to the Unisa Archives and his library to the Rand Afrikaans University (now the University of Johannesburg). HERMAN JAN DE VLEESCHAUWER PAPERS (340 boxes) The De Vleeschauwer Papers in the Unisa Archives comprise about 34 linear metres. The records in the De Vleeschauwer Papers reflect his language skills. He wrote in and corresponded in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, English and Afrikaans. He was the author of more than sixty publications and three hundred academic articles. He published articles in scientific journals in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, the United States of America and South Africa. He also co-edited scientific journals in several of these countries. He is recognised as one of the world's most important Kantian scholars. He is also remembered as an authority on René Descartes and Arnold Geulincx. The De Vleeschauwer Papers include publications, manuscripts of published and unpublished materials, correspondence, and press cuttings on subjects such as Philosophy, Library Science, History and Theology. There is also a unique publisher's copy of De Vleeschauwer's 1944 Constanten in het Nederlandsche denken. The Papers further include correspondence with his family and friends in Europe and South Africa, certificates, photographs and his last will and testament.

Anyone need any live training ducks? I've got a buddy with several hundred (pen raised mallards, mixture of hens and drakes) available in South Texas. He's selling them for $12/each.
I'm headed down next week to pick up a load for the Bryan College Station Retriever Club hunt test and will have room to bring back extras if anyone wants any. If you can meet me in BCS next week or at our hunt test, it won't cost you anything for transport. If you need them delivered, we may be able to work something out depending on schedule and quantity.

There is always considerable anger toward Bush regarding his fiasco in Iraq, but few critics n America ever note his equally inept policies in Somalia which have plunged that unfortunate land into further chaos. Two years ago, Bush encouraged Ethiopia to send its forces into Somalia to crush an Islamist fundamentalist government. The Christian soldiers of Ethiopia never established positive relations with the people of Somalia and for two years war has ranged between fundamentalist insurgents and the government established by US-Ethiopian forces. Islamist rebels moved ever closer to the capital of Mogadishu and now are on the outskirts. Rebel forces are on America's list of terrorists, but they receive considerable support from the local population which is tired of war, tired of the ineffective Somalia government and only hopeful for some sort of peace, regardless of who brings it.
Rebels now control ports as well as a large section of Somalia. Most probably, Ethiopian troops will soon leave, restoring the situation to what it was two years ago. Will Bush urge another Ethiopian invasion?

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Capella, Oct 30, 2012.
Per IceNetwork
I truly hope she is able to achieve both.
although i never was a a rachael fan, i hope this will not be the end of her competetive career and we will see her one more time.
her stellar short from the 2011 nationals are one of my all time favourites.
hope she achieves all she longes to.
Here's wishing Rachel best wishes in her recovery! Chronic injuries can't be much fun so I hope she'll finally be able to move around without pain.
wishing her much academic success, as well
I wish Rachael a full recovery; and the very best in whatever she does.
If she wishes to compete again, I hope she will be able to do so.
Glad she's focusing on getting healthy. That really is the most important thing.
Speedy recovery Rachael!
Best of luck to her at Standford as well, and I hope that she's able to compete next season.
Best of luck to Rachael with her studies at Stanford! Enjoy the college experience girl!
I hope she recovers and enjoys Stanford!
Wow, she sure skated well at Skate America despite being injured. I too hope that that was not the last time we see her in competition.
I'm wishing her all the best for a speedy recovery and success in whichever path she chooses in the future--whether she comes back or becomes a full-time college student and successful doctor/engineer/anything.
Get healthy Rachael and enjoy college.
Best wishes to her!
I concur that getting healthy is the best things she can do; her body has to last a lot longer than her skating career. In the meantime, I hope she can enjoy the rest of her semester at Stanford.
I honestly think this is the end of her competitive career. Why bow out of Nationals over two months beforehand? Tendonitis isn't that serious, although it is recurring. It's not like she was an unmitigated disaster at SA. She just is obviously not at the top of her game due to growth, school, and training issues. She has nothing left to accomplish. She is a National Champion, World and Olympic team member and Grand Prix medalist. She has had a lovely career. Best of luck, Rachael!
I figured she would want to go to one last Nationals and say goodbye there. I am surprised she isnt. As you said one wouldnt think her injury is too bad to not skate at Nationals. Next year she would need to qualify for Nationals, and likely would be hard pressed to do that. Maybe she felt saying goodbye at an international event was a good way to go out, and also figured this past Nationals was a great way to go out there, which makes sense.
Smart move. She was obviously pushing too hard and needed to take some time off. Actually she should have probably taken the whole season off...
In any case, IMHO this is basically a retirement announcement without the word "retire" in it - because chances are we never see her competing again.
I had strong feelings that this would be her last season, but I was thinking she would retire after Nationals. It is very clear that she has new priorities and, good for her, there is more to life than skating. She also has accomplished more than most could even dream of. The sport has moved past her and she has moved on from the sport. It happens, but I am suprised she didn't take one last chance at Nationals or maybe told USFSA that she was injured before SA, so another girl could get her spot.
Good for her for being attentive to her health and future goals. I hope she has a stellar year outside of figure skating.
Although she simplified her programs as much as she needed to, she did skate well: she received a total of two individual -1 GOE scores in her FS and got between 0.00 and .47 GOE on all of her elements, and in her SP, got the mandatory - GOE on doubling the triple jump and -.15 on her layback spin. (Of the nine women who finished ahead of her in the SP, four had -GOE on two elements, all with more total -GOE than Flatt, and four had one element with -GOE; only GAO went clean with +GOE on all of her elements and no individual -GOEs.)
I wouldn't have guess injury, but lack of training time, since she looked so solid.
The other interesting thing about her performance was that her spins and footwork were relatively short, yet in each program she got one L3 spin, L2 footwork, and she only got one L1 in the SP and the mandatory L1 CH sequence in the FS, so all of the women who tie themselves into pretzels and sabotage their spins with speed-killing Biellmanns might take note and consider going for a L2 spin that doesn't sap their energy and that they can do cleanly instead of a L3 spin that lasts forever.
I cannot imagine how she has, as one article put it, 'shrugged off the pain of chronic tendinitis'. If it's in her Achilles tendon, as mine is, the pain is horrible !!!! It hobbles me and I can't walk properly. I'm getting extensive physio and shockwave ultrasound for the last month and it's still horrible.
Rachel: if you achieved everything you did and skated at such a high level for so long with that pain, then you deserve a crown, not just a medal!
I think it's a wise decision--no other remedy for her injuries than rest, rest, rest.
While I agree, I don't think she's really withdrawing from nationals; since she isn't competing at Ice Challenge, she no longer has a bye through Mids. So she isn't qualified to Nationals. Right?
I wish her every success..
I somehow doubt we will see her again in a competitive arena. I think that perhaps she had mentally "moved" on. She didn't seem that upset with her placements etc... and they weren't what they used to be. The physical side may wind up being the final blow to her competitive career. However, I think she will be very successful as she moves forward. She seems well prepared with a good "life" outside the rink.
Correct, but it's not like the creme of the crop is competing at Ice Challenge, so she probably could have done pretty well there even skating like she did in Kent.
I am not sure if she could have petitoned for a medical bye to Nationals, but it sounds like she knows the injury will take more than just a few months to heal and wanted to withdraw from both events in advance.
Obviously, you've never had tendonitis.
Best wishes to Rachael for a complete recovery.
Yeah, she could have competed decently, but probably with a ton of pain. :/
I am also pretty sure this is a retirement notice.
I actually have had tendonitis and actually was a high level competitive figure skater. I don't know her exact injury, but it is very realistic for her to be back for Nationals even taking time off. It's not like she is having major surgery or anything. To me, it seems like this is her retiring without saying the words. Best wishes to her, though!
Good Luck to Rachael. I have a mild form of tendonitis in one elbow, mine comes & goes but is no fun when it strikes.
Do they even give medical byes anymore? I thought those went away a few years ago?

Out of every gun you've ever had/shot/etc, what is your #1 favorite handgun ever made?
I'd have to say it would be my HK Mark23...... the smoothest shooting .45 I have ever shot and by far the most accurate!!
That's it!!!
But which 1911? Which brand.Quote:

For the past couple of years, I have been completely enamored with the Walther P99 AS, particularly the original style... I've yet to find anything I didn't like about the pistol! :prayer:
tied , probably the super redhawk.
Sig P226
Not because it's new. I like the feel, balance and recoil and stock site.
The XD40 sub-compact
It is still new so that special new gun feeling still lingers,but I can't imagaine ever liking a gun more that I like this one.
Did U get the .40 cal or the 9mm version that started just now coming out?Quote:

That's a really hard question for me to answer.
I really liked the first pistol I ever shot, a WW2 Luger in 9mm(I was six). Or, maybe the first gun I ever owned, a Ruger Blackhawk in .357(I loved then and now, the "Old West").
Or maybe my Delta Elite because it's so purrrty!(And I think I'm addicted to 10mm recoil!)

STAMFORD, CT -- Crane Co. reports that it has reached an agreement with MEI Conlux Holdings on revised terms for Crane's planned acquisition of MEI.
The revision takes into account the conditions required by the European Commission before it clears the transaction: Crane's divestiture of its Payment Solutions' B2B banknote recycler product line, and its licensing in Europe of Payment Solutions' Currenza C2 coin recycler line. These remedies do not affect MEI's competing bill and coin recycler product lines. | SEE STORY
Under the revised agreement, the purchase price will be approximately $804 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, rather than the previously announced price of $820 million, both subject to customary adjustments as provided in the purchase agreement. Crane also agreed to share in one-third of any refinancing costs incurred by MEI as a result of the delayed closing, up to a maximum of $5 million.
Crane will be responsible for implementing the divestiture and licensing remedies pursuant to the conditions of the European Commission clearance, and will retain any proceeds thereof. Subject to successful execution of the remedies, the acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Crane Co. noted that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission cleared the MEI acquisition without conditions on July 23.
As a result of the agreement with the sellers of MEI, commitments to the EC and a more conservative near-term growth outlook for MEI, Crane is revising its accretion estimate for MEI within the first 12 months of ownership from 25¢ a share to 20¢, which includes 7¢ per share of synergies. Crane reaffirmed its estimate that synergies will total about $25 million pretax, or 30¢ a share, by the third year. The estimates exclude inventory step-up and one-time transaction costs.

Here we are again. As we approach Labor Day, less than three weeks after IBM announced its agreement to acquire Unica (see my blog post with Suresh Vittal here), comScore announced yesterday that it has acquired the venerable European Web analytics vendor Nedstat.
Total cash and stock consideration for the purchase is valued at approximately $36.7 million USD. Additionally, nearly the entire Nedstat staff, numbering about 120, will stay on at comScore.
Official information is available through comScore, the comScore corporate blog, and the regulatory filing for those of you who are financially minded. I also had the opportunity to speak with comScore CEO and co-founder Magid Abraham, who generously took time out of a very hectic day for a call.
The acquisition is predicated on the following benefits:

AG announces recovery payments for Rockhampton
07 February 2013 , 9:16 AM by Kallee Buchanan
The brand new Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus, chose the Mornings prgram to announce he had extended flood recovery payments to the Rockhampton council area.
It means eligible residents in places like Stanwell can access payments of up to $1000 per adult and $400 per child to recover. Find out more here.
But even though I pushed, the AG wouldn't reveal whether towns in the Banana Shire like Goovigen and Jambin will also get access to these payments.
Here's what Leigh Macdonald from Stanwell told Rebecca McLaren about the payments, and the AG making his announcement.

California Grabs $96.4 Million in First Round of Online Sales Tax Collection
Tiffany Kaiser
February 20, 2013 7:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: csmonitor.com)
This amount is strictly for the September-December 2012 quarter
Some U.S. states -- like California -- are starting to see new revenue from
sales tax on internet purchases
from the likes of Amazon.
The California Board of Equalization said it made $96.4 million in sales tax on internet commerce from September-December 2012, which is the first full quarter that the state started collecting. This is good news for the California Department of Finance, which has a forecast budget goal of $107 million in new e-taxes for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2012.
While these numbers look great for the state of California, they're a bit off from the estimates provided by a 2009 University of Tennessee study that said California would make $1.9 billion in 2012 revenue if it collected online sales tax. It also said states would miss out on $11.4 billion in 2012 revenue nationwide if they failed to collect online sales tax.
As of right now, Amazon collects sales tax in nine states (including California) and will collect in seven more over the next year.
Georgia is one the most recent to collect online sales tax. Amazon started collecting sales tax in Texas in July 2012, and California and Pennsylvania in September 2012.
Amazon has been fighting states that force it to collect sales tax for years (except in Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota and Washington). The e-tailer fled many states that attempted to force tax collection on the company, such as
and Illinois. But between states looking for ways to offset large financial deficits and brick-and-mortar stores like Best Buy complaining about Amazon being unfair competition, the issue swelled.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said many times that his company would agree to collect taxes if there were some sort of federal legislation.
But eventually, Amazon finally broke down and started collecting sales tax in certain states, which allowed it to build more distribution centers within those states. For instance, Amazon announced that it would
collect sales tax in New Jersey
last May so that two Amazon distribution centers could be built. This led to faster shipping for customers, such as
Amazon's same-day delivery
program, making it more competitive than ever.
But earlier this month, Amazon and Overstock.com challenged a New York law passed in 2008, which forces companies with affiliates within the state to collect sales tax. However, Amazon said
this law is unconstitutional
because a 1992 Supreme Court decision said retailers that don't have a nexus of operation in a state does not need to collect sales tax. While New York said that websites with purchase buttons for Amazon as well as other national retailers are local solicitors because they receive fees for doing so, Amazon said argued that web referrals are less like solicitors or a local sales force and are more like advertising.

Ah ha!
Thanks guys.
Bobcrman and SlowGTA thanks a lot. Now I get it. Makes sense now. I appreciate the explanations. Bob, hope you weren't offended. Seems a couple of guys think I stepped on your toes. I try to come off as harmless as I can. Emails can be a hard thing to interpret people's real feelings and emotions. I'm very happy with the explanations and replies.
I'm off to finish my rebuild. Thanks again!
The holes in the head gasket are the size they should be. If they are opened up water wouldn't flow to the back of the engine. It would come out of the pump and go right up the first set of holes in the head on both sides and through the thermostat and back to the radiator. The back of the block and heads would get no cooling.
The holes in the block and heads are huge so they could get the casting sand out when they poured the block. Yep, it's that simple...
As far as the slow water cools better I disagree.
This is from folks who do nothing but make water pumps for engines that cost more than most people make in a year..Stewart components
"A common misconception is that if coolant flows too quickly through the system, that it will not have time to cool properly. However the cooling system is a closed loop, so if you are keeping the coolant in the radiator longer to allow it to cool, you are also allowing it to stay in the engine longer, which increases coolant temperatures. Coolant in the engine will actually boil away from critical heat areas within the cooling system if not forced through the cooling system at a sufficiently high velocity. This situation is a common cause of so-called "hot spots", which can lead to failures."
You can read the whole thing here: http://www.stewartcomponents.com/tec...ech_Tips_3.htm
Engines don't overheat everywhere at once. they start to boil away coolant in hot areas first. On a SBC between the center two cylinders where the exhaust ports are next to each other is usually the first place. Once the coolant boils away in a small area the gases form a pocket that keep coolant from contact with the metal making it hotter, boiling away more coolant making a bigger gas pocket and on and on.
Thats why on engines that run hard for long periods it's common to route cooling directly to the head at this point and sometimes straight to the back of the block.
Hey pal, ask a question respect the answer. I understand people having to
learn, And yes personally that the dumbest question I ever heard was asked
I didn't say so. But when someone gives you an answer, set back a couple
days and read the mail. If someone's reply on this site is totally out in left
field, there usually will be some discussions and from that you will learn. But
smart cracks will not get you respect.
The smaller holes force the water to circulate around and to the ends of the block. Like little geysers. If you open them up. The cooland will just lay undisturbed in the bottom or ends and not move the absorbed heat out of the block.
I have already had a customer open the holes up on a Big block chevy. Trying to improve the cooling in a suburban. The motor overheated in about twenty minutes and would not cool. A lot of my shops time was wasted trying to find the problem. As we had done the machine work (not the assembly).
Customer was not happy with the billing, after it was found that he caused the problem.. So don't screw around with something that has been proven reliable since 1955..
I appreciate the response. I'm not sure I buy that though. If we were to believe that the engineers at chevy designed everything to the utmost of it's performance then we would never have to modify anything. We all know that's not true. I honestly just think about things too much and don't mean any disrespect by my thoughts. I just like to know the how and why behind the things we do and how my engine works.
What would cause the overheating if the passages were enlarged? It would seem that opening up the holes would allow better circulation. That in turn suggests to me a cooler running head. Maybe too cool. Maybe that's the reason or maybe not. Is it to allow air out when the water runs? Does water ever go through the upper portions of the head? I don't know, but I'd like to.
Thanks again.
|If you enlarge the holes you will destroy many years of research by the GM cooling guys. LEAVE THEM ALONE. Or you will create an overheating monster..
350 Chev head gasket water holes too small?
I'm replacing the head gaskets on the 350ci chev motor because one blew out and filled #6 with water when cold. I noticed the old and new gaskets both have very small upper water passage holes (1/8") but both the block and heads have much larger passages. This was particuarly alarming since the gaskets were balloned in at the restricted water holes as though water couldn't get through well enough.
Why are the gasket water holes so small? Can or should I drill the gaskets to match the block and head water passages or maybe even just a little bigger than they are? What are the possible pros and cons of such a mod to the head gaskets?
Thanks guys.

I have been playing CA for about 1 and a half to two months and to tell you the truth it is fun. I love fast-paced gameplay. On the note, I am fed up with the players on the game. Hackers are growing in numbers, glitchers are abusing more and more, and harassment is really REALLY bad.
I'm a sniper and I tend to aim quick and fire cause I've learned where players run out and how much space i need to give my sights from the wall to where they come charging out, and for that thinking I am called a hacker sometimes. I do encounter the occasional good sport who says ns but not that often.
Thats not the reason that I'm probably going to quit CA, no it's not the hackers or the glitches cause they arent always in every game. It's the Harassment. Just today I guy said and I quote, "All white people should go back to the EU server". I live in the US so I've never even been on the EU server. I reported this like I always do cause I like fair games and not having to see someone being rude and speaking racist remarks, but I don't expect anything to be done.
At first I thought the report system was a good idea but I have seen a bunch of the players that I've reported still playing cause frankly I dont think Nexon cares. Man_Gaga is a "top ranked" player on CAs official site, but I reported him TWO weeks ago for massively hacking THREE of the games I was in. It's unfair and I'm just fed up with the "report" system. Nexon has good games but CA is just starting to run more wild everyday I get on. Been cussed out twice today and I was only on for an hour. Thank you. -Cifer

Greetings, I have been keeping this project secret for over four months, with the notion I would not surface until it was complete. Now that The Force Unleashed has been released and this character has been revealed, I feel it might serve better to share my progress. It is actually a release for me just to share this much.
I am proud to say this is NOT PEPAKURA.
Not that there is anything wrong with Pepakura--the software that allows folk to print out the facets of 3-D models for easy assembly--it is just a different animal than sculpting by hand and from scratch.
Be well,

Once more a pretty dumb question from a pretty dumb member, haha, sorry guys.. Anyway. Finally I am slooowly reaching the end of my costume, and once the last items are painted and I've received the rest of the lovely items in the mail, the putting on is next. SO! My question is, just HOW do you guys make the hose rest up in the flight suit sleeve? Simple ducktape (I hope not) or something fancier (just not too fancy! haha). Help?
EDIT: Thanks for the info, guys! New question about the cod piece tho. How do you secure that - connecting it and so forth? Thanks!

SAP Turns To Acquisitions For Cloud Innovations
Just three months after SAP acquired SuccessFactors, a cloud leader for human capital management solutions, for $3.4 billion, it has now announced the acquisition of Ariba, a cloud leader for eProcurement solutions, for another $4.3 billion. Now, $7.7 billion is a lot of money to spend in a short amount of time on two companies that hardly make any profit. But it's all for the cloud, which means it's for the future business opportunity in cloud computing services. So far, so good; SAP has invested and acquired quite a number of cloud companies over the past years: Frictionless, Clear Standards, Crossgate, etc. The difference in this most recent acquisition is the big overlap with existing solutions and internal R&D.
Following the first wave of cloud acquisitions, SAP was sitting amid a zoo of cloud solutions, all based on different platforms: ePurchasing, CRM-OnDemand, BI-OnDemand, Carbon Impact, ByDesign, Streamwork . . . They all used very different technology, resulting in big integration and scale challenges behind the scenes. The market welcomed with open arms SAP's announcement 1.5 years ago that it would consolidate its cloud strategy on the new NetWeaver platform for both ABAP- and Java-based cloud solutions.

Carl Jenkinson took part in his first senior England training session on Sunday.
The Arsenal defender has been tipped for a call-up to Roy Hodgson's squad - perhaps for next month's friendly against Sweden in Gothenburg - and he was given a taste of what to expect at London Colney.
Jenkinson was drafted into the England squad for the day but will not travel to Warsaw for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Poland.
Speaking ahead of the international break, Hodgson said: "On this occasion, we decided to... keep Jenkinson up our sleeves, but he'll be very much in our thoughts when it comes to the next friendly match.
"After speaking to Arsène [Wenger] I am also conscious that his rise has been meteoric. He's only 20 and it's nice to temper things a little bit, but he wouldn't be out of place in the squad."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"The card was easy to edit to add my own words, it's great that you can change font and size of text. Overall a fantastic looking invite at a great price. Super quick delivery too."
"We ordered this card for our son's baptism and, even though we already expected them to be nice, were pleasantly surprised when were even more beautiful than anticipated. We will definitely continue using Tiny Prints in the near future because: - our invitations were delivered earlier than the estimated delivery time - our specifications were met - we got what we asked for - the cards and printed envelopes exceeded our expectations - the quality of the paper and printing was exquisite"
"Loved the way the invitation came out. Received many compliments on them. Printed return and addressee option made my life SO much easier!"
"We received so many compliments on this invitation. It was for our son's Holy Communion. Everyone loved the front and back design of the card."
"I am very impressed with the product, price, customer service and delivery time. The invitations arrived standard shipping in 2 days! Amazing! Classy invitation on nice weight card stock. I kept the color and font as shown. I was able to change text in the text box easily. The blue background and white border have an aged quality because the ink is not solid...more like it was painted in watercolor. Very Book of Kells feeling to me which is a subtle and nice touch. The Celtic cross and knotwork are beautiful. The blue background is a light blue. The digital image doesn't translate the actual color well. Still lovely. Darling little hearts on cross and corners of the invitation. I am proud to send these out to my family and friends for my son's 1st Holy Communion. Exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! Great job Tiny Prints!"

The year 2013 has been a remarkable one for UNC head basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell. Her 2012-13 team finished the season at 29-7, she achieved her 900th win, and in September she will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Achieving her 900th win during the 2012-13 season has given Coach Hatchell the opportunity to pause and reflect on the people whose confidence in her ability to coach paved the way to her success. To show her appreciation to the people who hired her, Sylvia has launched what she refers to as her "900 Wins Thank You Tour."
Sylvia's "Thank You Tour" started in Talbott, Tenn., with a visit to Tommy Northern and his wife Anna Joyce. It's not often an elementary school principal can say that he gave a Naismith Hall of Fame Member her first coaching assignment, but Tommy Northern can say with pride that in the fall of 1973 he gave Carson-Newman college senior Sylvia Rhyne her first coaching job at Talbott Elementary School. Though the salary of $200 to coach basketball to seventh and eighth grade girls may have been Sylvia's motivation for accepting the job, she remembers the experience with fondness and is grateful to Mr. Northern for offering her the job. The Talbott girls' basketball team went 16-4 and their wins are not likely inscribed in an official record, but those games are forever recorded in Sylvia's heart because that young team inspired her passion for coaching. Recalling her years at Talbott Sylvia said, "I was hooked. I knew I was born to coach."
After thanking Mr. Northern for giving her that first coaching job, Sylvia headed to the home of Coach Pat Summitt, long-time coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols. Following Sylvia's graduation from Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Sylvia enrolled in the master's of science program at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. On the first day of class she met students who were destined to become her life-long friends. One of those classmates, Pat Head, was charged with coaching the women's basketball team. Sixty girls wanted to play basketball at UT - too many to earn spots on the team and too many to disappoint with cuts. Pat approached Dr. Nancy Lay, Coordinator of UT Women's Intercollegiate Athletics and asked if they could organize a junior varsity team. With Dr. Lay's permission Pat asked Sylvia to coach the JV team.
Said Sylvia, "Before tryouts, Pat had already asked Judy Rose and me to help her with the team so we were prepared to be her assistants. When those sixty girls showed up at tryouts Pat knew we had the makings not only of a great team, but we also had a group of younger players who could contribute to future teams. Forming that JV team was a visionary approach, and I will always be in Pat's debt for giving me the opportunity to be their coach."
Having been close friends since 1974 Pat is well aware that Sylvia appreciates the confidence shown in her almost forty years ago, but this "Thank You" was necessary to Sylvia.
Sylvia remarked, "Pat and I go way back and she knows how much I appreciate her, but one more time I had to let her know how much she means to me. We had a good long visit - reminiscing about our friendship and about coaching the sport we both love."
Wrapping up her trip to Tennessee, Sylvia's plans are to drive to South Carolina for the second leg of her "Thank You Tour." Having coached eleven years in Florence, S.C., she will visit with the men who gave her a start at Francis Marion College - former Athletic Director Gerald Griffin and Past-President Dr. Walter D. Smith.
Rounding out her tour of gratitude will be a visit with ACC Commissioner John Swofford, who in 1986 was serving as the athletic director at the University of North Carolina. "John gave me my 'dream job' at UNC and he stuck with me through some rough early years," said Sylvia. "I have to let him know how much his confidence still means to me."

Regional Climate Projections
Regional Climate Projections in the IPCC AR4
How does anthropogenic global warming (AGW) affect me? The answer to this question will perhaps be one of the most relevant concerns in the future, and is discussed in chapter 11 of the IPCC assessment report 4 (AR4) working group 1 (WG1) (the chapter also has some supplementary material). The problem of obtaining regional information from GCMs is not trivial, and has been discussed in a previous post here at RC and the IPCC third assessment report (TAR) also provided a good background on this topic.
The climate projections presented in the IPCC AR4 are from the latest set of coordinated GCM simulations, archived at the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI). This is the most important new information that AR4 contains concerning the future projections. These climate model simulations (the multi-model data set, or just 'MMD') are often referred to as the AR4 simulations, but they are now officially being referred to as CMIP3.
One of the most challenging and uncertain aspects of present-day climate research is associated with the prediction of a regional response to a global forcing. Although the science of regional climate projections has progressed significantly since last IPCC report, slight displacement in circulation characteristics, systematic errors in energy/moisture transport, coarse representation of ocean currents/processes, crude parameterisation of sub-grid- and land surface processes, and overly simplified topography used in present-day climate models, make accurate and detailed analysis difficult.
I think that the authors of chapter 11 over-all have done a very thorough job, although there are a few points which I believe could be improved. Chapter 11 of the IPCC AR4 working group I (WGI) divides the world into different continents or types of regions (e.g. 'Small islands' and 'Polar regions'), and then discusses these separately. It provides a nice overview of the key climate characteristics for each region. Each section also provides a short round up of the evaluations of the performance of the climate models, discussing their weaknesses in terms of reproducing regional and local climate characteristics.
Evaluations of the GCMs show that they still have significant systematic errors in and around Africa, with excessive rainfall in the south, a spurious southward displacement of the Atlantic inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ), and insufficient upwelling in the seas off the western coast.
The report asserts that the extent to which regional models can represent the local climate is unclear and that the limitation of empirical downscaling is not fully understood. It is nevertheless believed that land surface feedbacks have a strong effect on the regional climate characteristics.
For the future scenarios, the median value of the MMD GCM simulations (SRES A1b) yields a warming of 3-4C between 1980-1999 and 2080-2099 for the four different seasons (~1.5 times the global mean response). The GCMs project an increase in the precipitation in the tropics (ITCZ)/East Africa and a decrease in north and south (subtropics).
Europe and the Mediterranean.
In general, chapter 11 states that the most rapid warming is expected during winter in Northern Europe and during summer in southern Europe. The projections also suggest that the mean precipitation will also increase in the north, but decrease in the south. The inter-annual temperature variations is expected to increase as well.
A more detailed picture was drawn on the results from a research project called PRUDENCE, which represents a small number of TAR GCMs. The time was too short for finishing new dynamical downscaling on the MMD.
The PRUDENCE results, however, are more appropriate for exploring uncertainties associated with the regionalisation, rather than providing new scenarios for the future, since the downscaled results was based on a small selection of the GCMs from TAR.
