(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
AKIN AHEAD: With a little more than six weeks before Election Day, a new poll out this week shows Missouri Republican U-S Senate candidate Todd Akin with a 4-point lead over Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill. We get the latest on the most competitive race in our region.
OBAMA & THE KANSAS BALLOT: Kansas attracts national attention as a state panel weighs up whether the President's name can even be listed on the November election ballot in the Sunflower state.
AEG UP FOR SALE: The Los Angeles based entertainment corporation owns the Staples Center, but also Sprint Center right here in Kansas City. The news brought up questions this week about what that breaking business story would mean for our city-owned downtown arena which opened in October 2007 and is currently listed as the 4th busiest entertainment venue in the United States in overall ticket sales. Does the sale of AEG have a ripple effect here in Kansas City?
KAUFFMAN CENTER @ ONE YEAR: It's been exactly a year now since the curtain opened on the much anticipated $415 million Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The downtown venue designed by Moshie Safdie has quickly garnered both national and international attention. Many of the center's shows have earned rave reviews and there have been countless sold out performances. But one year on, is it meeting expectations? And what about the future?

text: Tenuta Sette Ponti, is, like many Tuscan estates, multi-faceted. The 750-acre property supports livestock and mixed agriculture, and although viticulture is not new to the estate, winemaking is; the yield of the property's vineyards was until 1997 sold to various respected Tuscan wine producers, among them Piero Antinori. Dr. Moretti's enjoyment of wine led him to ask Antinori if the estate vineyards could produce great wines, and Antinori thought they could. The estate has since been transformed through the consultation of respected oenologist Carlo Ferrini and his assistant, Gioia Cresti; Gilbert Bouvet, one of France's most skilled viticulturalists; and agronomist Benedetto d'Anna.

Well, I took the ol' ESB out for it's first test drive today at a local, small, Sci-Fi / toy show. It was only myself and my buddy Pete, an awesome TD, so it was a pretty low key day. I was happy overall, but I have some bugs to work out. First, I'm TOO CHUBBY !! No problem, I just ordered my P90X the other day, so I'm going to give that a go when it arrives.
My hose came off of the gauntlet, easily fixable.
Gauntlets need some extra rare earth magnets to keep closed. Easy. Galactic G-string is missing for now.
Cod piece was ok but it's attached to my butt plate by elastic, and the butt plate wants to do it's own thing. I might go with snaps on the flightsuit and cod/butt.
More weathering, and some extra velcro here and there.
I also need to get a stronger servo for my RF, the low profile one is too wimpy for the stalk and topper, it won't lift them.
All in all a good day to work out the kinks before any major events.
My thanks to everyone here at TDH for their knowledge, skills, time, and craftsmanship, and mostly, the camaraderie.
I can't possibly list all those who made this possible, but here's to Art, Spidey, Taco, FettPride, Man of War Studios, Stormrider, Gabe, FettDad, Russrep, TerminalFettler, Ladysewforus ( Deb was the first to greet me back when I started : ) ) and Mark...... and all of the rest, thank you for doing what you do and sharing what you know.
Now to get tweaking.
Any comments or criticisms are welcome as always.

Oregon History: The Oregon System
William U'Ren was a quiet, contemplative man. Little in his countenance or demeanor betrayed the inner fire that drove his determination to change public participation in Oregon government. A single-tax advocate, U'Ren moved on to embrace the ideas of James W. Sullivan, author of Direct Legislation by the Citizenship Through the Initiative and Referendum (1892). If U'Ren could empower common citizens, he could wage war on vested interests, corruption, and the tensions that set classes against each other. U'Ren jettisoned the single tax, embraced Sullivan's philosophy, converted to populism, and in 1897 gained a seat in the legislature as a candidate of the People's Party. U'Ren was in a position to cut a deal because populists held 13 critical votes to swing power in the legislature.
The time for dealing was at hand. Senator John H. Mitchell, despised by many, came out firmly for the Republican platform and the gold standard. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., a Republican and silver mine owner, saw a chance to dump Mitchell, provided he could win populist votes. U'Ren set the price: initiative, referendum, voter registration, and an elections procedure law. Bourne bought the package but had to play a cat-and-mouse game in what was known as the "Holdup of '97." Bourne, U'Ren, and others forged a coalition and blocked the House from organizing. The Committee on Credentials declined to report, the anti-Mitchell representatives refused to take their oaths of office, and the Mitchell forces could not elect him, lacking a quorum in the House. U'Ren and Bourne pushed through each of the promised measures. By a cumbersome process, the legislature twice approved a constitutional amendment and, after ratification by a resounding public vote in 1902, Oregonians instituted the initiative and referendum, having amended the state constitution for the first time since 1859.
The combination of voter commitment to enact long-needed laws and the ability to do so with the initiative helped propel Oregon to national attention as a state leading in progressivism. The largely non-partisan Oregon System, as it was heralded, addressed the accumulated social evils that had grown in numbers and complexity. The means were at hand to make government more efficient, honest, and responsive to human need.
Oregonians tallied important enactments: Direct Primary Law (1904), extension of initiative and referendum to local laws, city home rule, indictment by grand jury, taxes on telephone, telegraph, and railroad companies (all 1906), a recall amendment to the State Constitution, the Corrupt Practices Act (both 1908), three-fourths verdict in civil cases, employers' liability act (both 1910), women's suffrage, prohibition on private employment of convict labor, eight-hour day on public works (all 1912), presidential preference primary (1913), prohibition, and an eight-hour day and room ventilation for women workers (both 1914). Other laws abolished capital punishment, the infamous Oregon Boot, a heavy manacle attached to legs of prisoners, and required publication of the Oregon Blue Book.
The Oregon Land Fraud trials captured local and national interest. Francis Heney, special federal prosecutor, brought to justice 33 who had pillaged the federal lands, state school lands, and the timbered resources of the Siletz Indian Reservation. The kingpin of the Oregon Land Fraud Ring, Stephen A.D. Puter, penned in his prison cell Looters of the Public Domain (1908), a tell-all book with portraits of his co-conspirators and copies of documents confirming their criminal acts. Heney's prosecutions cleaned out many of the personnel of the General Land Office; twice indicted but failed to convict Binger Hermann, an Oregonian and former commissioner of the General Land Office in Washington, D.C.; and obtained prison sentences for Senator John H. Mitchell and Congressman John N. Williamson.
Oregon governors George E. Chamberlain, who served from 1903 to 1909, and Oswald West, who served from 1911 to 1915, were in office during the era of progressivism and each, in a nonpartisan manner, helped facilitate the Oregon System. To persuade the legislature that he intended for progressive reform to prevail, in 1911 West vetoed 63 bills. When good legislation failed, he saw that it surfaced as initiative measures. As a consequence Oregonians gained a workers' compensation act, banking laws, and a Public Utility Commission. By executive order in 1913 West declared that Oregon beaches were public highways and set the precedent for the much-litigated but protected right of public access to the entire state shoreline. He gave full authority to his secretary, Fern Hobbs, and sent her with members of the National Guard to Copperfield, a notorious boom town on the railroad in Baker County. With a declaration of martial law on January 1, 1914, she closed all saloons and houses of prostitution. She left the guardsmen to monitor the situation. West never minced words. In his reminiscences he wrote about Oregon's land fraud ring: "These looters of the public domain--working with crooked federal and state officials--through rascality and fraud, gained title to thousands of acres of valuable, publicly-owned timber lands, and at minimum prices." West pounded them, even when penning his recollections in 1950.
Progressivism touched Oregon in another way. In 1907 Congress considered a crucial agricultural appropriations bill. Powerful lobbyists for timber companies persuaded Senator Charles Fulton from Astoria to attach to it an amendment rescinding presidential authority to create any more forest reserves in the Pacific Northwest under the Forest Reserve Act of 1891. In less than ten days Gifford Pinchot, new head of the U.S. Forest Service, and President Theodore Roosevelt poured over maps and identified millions of acres of critical forests. Roosevelt exercised the last hours of his executive authority and created the "Midnight Reserves." Oregon's national forests multiplied severalfold by the stroke of a pen and the willpower of two conservationists.
The Oregon System was the creative response to a mix of ideologies and discontents. It broke the power of many special interests and old political coalitions. It became a model for the rest of the country and was emulated in dozens of states and cities drawing inspiration from the power of a determined citizenry.

Delta CEO gives up seat for mom late to pick up daughter
A mom trying to get home to pick up her young daughter from a summer camp for children with diabetes is singing the praises of Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson after the executive gave up his seat on a flight so that she could make it home.
The passenger, Jessie Frank, said she was not aware who had given up the seat until the flight was arriving in Atlanta.
Frank wrote about the experience on Facebook, where she posted, "An open letter to Delta CEO Richard Anderson."
She wrote that she was having a particularly "harrowing" flying day. Due to bad weather, there were multiple delays and cancellations. There was also a mechanical failure. As a result, a two-hour flight turned into an entire day, she said.
Frank, who lists Atlanta as her hometown on Facebook, wrote that the dozen Delta employees with whom she had contact were "calm, kind, diligent, funny....and really went our of their way to try to help me."
But all the while she worried she wouldn't make it home in time to personally pick up her 12-year-old daughter from camp. Frank said she never mentioned where she needed to go.
Frank wrote that while someone else could have picked up her daughter, who suffers from Type 1 diabetes, "Pick-up day gives me a glimpse into that special world where she's just like everyone else, she's a little bit of a different person for the rest of the day. By the next day, it's back to the harsh realities of managing a difficult, deadly, incurable disease that kills 1 in 20 before the age of 18."
Another excerpt from Frank's letter says, "I was 8th on the standby list, showing 0 seats left. I was about to give up, but the counter agent stopped me from leaving. He called 7 names… and then, finally, I was the last to be called. As we rushed down the jetway, the flight attendant at the plane shook her head – not a good sign – but then paused, talked to someone, and waved us down anyway. A vaguely familiar face met me at the doorway, not in uniform so probably an off-duty pilot I had seen before. He quickly grabbed my roll-aboard, helped clear a space in the overhead, and showed me to my seat."
Frank continued, "As the plane descended into Atlanta, the flight attendant announced that there was a special guest on board. He was riding in a jump seat, because he had given up his place to allow one more person on that flight. That special guest was you: Richard Anderson, CEO of Delta."
Frank concluded her letter to Anderson, "Thank you, Richard Anderson. As a result of your leadership and the actions of yourself and your employees, I had my special day with my special child. You and your employees gave us both one more day of happiness, and for that, we are both very grateful. I have always been a loyal Delta customer, but Thursday solidified that loyalty for life! To all Delta employees who helped me on Thursday: thank you again."
The Facebook post was picked up by The Huffington Post.
In an email to The Huffington Post, Delta confirmed the note was, indeed, "fantastic" and true.

Of course, that would mess up the visual balance you have, prompting a bit of a redesign.
I love the changes. The buckets do it.

You do know that 'photo' is short for 'photograph' and means an image captured by a camera?
Shakespeare was dead long before the camera had been invented. Any image of him is not a photograph. If this image counts for fair use or not is debatable, but really, it is not a photo.
Hungry like that wolf!
Nice touch with your signature rabbit almost part of the design

Reye syndrome is a condition that affects the normal chemical balance in the body, resulting in damage to the brain, kidneys, and liver.
As the inflammation in the brain increases, the pressure inside of the head may also increase. The increased pressure in the head causes neurological changes in the child.
It has a very rapid onset that can cause the child to go into a coma, or can result in death within hours of the symptoms.
The exact cause of Reye syndrome is unknown. The more common cases of Reye syndrome are associated with a viral infection from the following sources:
Reye syndrome usually affects children between the ages of 4 and 12, and is most common at age 6.
Studies show that there is an association between the ingestion of products containing aspirin in children who have a viral illness and Reye syndrome. As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have released warnings to the public about the relationship between aspirin and Reye syndrome. Parents should not give aspirin to children unless instructed by your child's physician.
The following are the most common symptoms of Reye syndrome. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. A child may have had a viral illness such as a respiratory infection, chickenpox, or diarrhea before experiencing symptoms of Reye syndrome. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of Reye syndrome may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
The diagnosis of Reye syndrome is made after the sudden onset of specific symptoms and after diagnostic testing. During a physical examination, your child's physician obtains a complete medical history of your child. Your child's physician may also ask if the child has recently had a cold or other viral illness, and whether the child has taken aspirin or medication containing aspirin.
Diagnostic tests that may be performed to confirm the diagnosis of Reye syndrome include the following:
Specific treatment for Reye syndrome will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Although there is no cure for Reye syndrome, there are some treatment options. The key to medically managing Reye syndrome is early detection.
A child with Reye syndrome requires immediate hospitalization in the intensive care unit and close monitoring by the healthcare team. This is a serious illness that can quickly worsen.
The goal of treatment is to monitor and reduce the pressure in the head and to provide supportive care (treatment of symptoms) to the child. Medications are used to control the inflammation in the brain, seizures, fever, or other conditions that may be present.
The extent of the problem is dependent on the severity of the condition and the presence of other organ system problems that could affect the child. In severe cases, a breathing machine may be required to help the child breathe easier.
Parents should read medication labels carefully and avoid giving children products containing aspirin during times of illness. Consult your child's physician for questions regarding medications and dosage.

2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State
Whether it is his excellent intangibles or good arm strength, there's a lot to like about Cousins as a quarterback prospect. He's the all-time leader in Michigan State history for wins as a starting QB.
What teams will like about Cousins is his ability to deliver the football quickly with above average arm strength. When it comes to those short and intermediate routes, he displays good accuracy (even with pressure coming his way). At the next level, he'll need to really improve his ability to pull the trigger and trust his talent for reading defenses. He doesn't always make the right pre-snap reads and if he is shuffling around the pocket, his mechanics struggle. Being able to be patient, plant his feet and drive through his hips when delivering the football is a talent he'll need to continue to develop as a pro.
Cousins does just about everything well, but no particular talent of his really jumps out. There are a lot of second-tier quarterbacks who may push him into the later rounds, so it is vital he shows the smaller skills like scrambling and extending the play.

He could easily go in the 2nd. I like Cousins as a guy who would be a great backup QB and could perhaps be a serviceable starter right away.

Probably the 5th Qb taken. I like him a lot. If he slips out of the 2nd he would be a steal in the 3rd. Would be the perfect WCO QB. Would love to see him in Cleveland where he could compete with McCoy.

Whiny, pathetic, useless main characters
What even
The inevitable end of a season. It feels like the Fall season started two weeks ago and it's half over already for some series.
hm i hate when they make filers or when rhetorical scenes happen
1. I watch anime in bed so I HATE having to lie down or sit up to ease the stress on my back
2. Decide whether to watch subbed or dubbed OMG TOO TOUGH (tho usually just dubbed unless can't or fav sub VA)
3. Video quality and quality of the subtitles!!! - proper engrish please!!
animeultima usually solves that problem though and of course....da crunchy roll
I'm just saying~
The fillers. THE FILLERS.
All the talking. During a fight. I mean, if it were me, and I'm fighting someone who's describing their powers or talking about their life as we are fighting, I'd probably use that to my advantage and kill them already. Ain't got no time for your monologues, man.
Truly excessive fanservice. THAT will turn me off to an anime faster than anything. Some fanservice I can deal with. But if that is all there is to a series, I'll lose it in a heartbeat.
When you watch an entire series and the end is vague or disappointing without a season 2
Video problems and they do happen and everybody do says this or that when its the website problem.
Newer or younger fans that dont know anything about older anime titles like Cowboy Bebop,Ghost in the Shell,FLCL Sailor Moon.and dont appreciate how much work went into them as compared to now.Hey I like the new cleaner artwork but the older titles didnt have HD etc.
LOVE LAB "We must research the everliving hell out of love"
1. Excessive fanservice. It's killed many a show.
2. The whole Yamato Nadeshiko ideal. Why the hell hasn't Japan had a feminist movement? What do they think is going to happen? For such a technologically advanced, perverted country, they still have a long way to go in that field. Now, done right, it can make for some pretty good characters, but it's still rather sexist.
3. Weak-willed beta-male protagonists. I've seen them in just about every rom-com under the sun. They don't even stand up to the tsundere female leads! What the fuck? Are Japanese men really like that when it comes to women?
4. Fillers. Especially if they're jammed in the middle of another story arc.
5. Bad endings. I've seen too many shows that ended in cop-outs.
6. Lolicon. It was bad enough having a violent porn fetishist stigma on our fandom. We don't need a pedo stain on top of it!
7. Padding. I'm looking at just about every long shounen epic ever. It's why I dropped One Piece and Fairy Tail.
8. Shows that don't know what they are. Horizon, Arcana Famiglia--who the hell wrote this crap? Vince Russo?
9. Period pieces set anywhere between World War II and the last half of the Bush administration. What the hell is wrong with people from those decades? It's called a cell phone, people. It's much faster than a landline. (Exceptions: Kids on the Slope, because it's from the same guy behind Cowboy Bebop. Black Lagoon? Too badass to even care).*
10. Old slice-of-life shows. They just haven't aged well. (See #9)
*This doesn't apply to just anime.
(my list applies to both anime and manga.)
One-dimensional characters, especially females. Honestly, no one is going to murder you if you give a girl an actual personality that isn't X Y or Z archetype.
Most filler arcs in general, but especially when the art suffers during them. *cough* Bleach *cough*
Lack of punishment or negative feedback from other characters when one acts in a socially unacceptable way. You can't kick a classmate in the head or threaten someone with a baseball bat or something and not get in deep trouble. Sometimes this is fine, like if law/rule enforcement is lax or something, but if you're at a typical high school this behavior shouldn't go unnoticed.
Incest. Just... no. Especially since I have an older brother myself, I can't even fathom how you can have those kinds of feelings for an older sibling and I don't understand why it seems to be popular in anime/manga/light novels nowadays. Squick.
Over-the-top fanservice. Give me a boobs-'n'-butt pose or a random pantyshot and I'll hang my head in disappointment.
I cradled you in my arms!
I got one.
Being disturbed by people who dont watch anime, especially if it is to say something to the effect of "Why are you watching a shitty cartoon?".

This bothers me more than anything. Although it's more a matter of how "time" is than how anime is. Time goes by way quick. I'd say I'm at Ben Johnson speed right now.
Sudden endings with nothing resolved, which apply to a lot of anime unfortunately.
It hate the "dragonball z syndrome", this happens in the popular shonen animes like naruto and bleach. I dislike it because of the constant staring contest between characters that sometimes last an episode! That doesn't mean I hate the shonen animes because I love DBZ, naruto and bleach!!
I hate the fact that I have to wait one week to watch an episode of anime thats still airing.
Current obsessions: A3! (Act! Addict! Actors!) & Boku no Hero Academia
1. Fillers
2. Useless characters
3. Too much talking
4. Bad endings (I hate this one the most)

This weekend will be marked by celebrations large and small honoring the most revered revolutionary in the civil rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Heralded as the God-led, citizen prophet for nonviolence dedicated to building a beloved community, King helped expand the franchise of liberty and equality for African Americans.
His pursuit to elevate the plight of the economically disenfranchised in all of humanity's stripes is part of his legacy as well. King understood that success in getting to sit at lunch counters, once off-limits to people of color, was blunted by one's ability to afford to dine there.
The evolution of a new agenda led by King in the autumn of 1967 called the "Poor People's Campaign" included demands for a multi-million dollar anti-poverty package from Congress. This would be short-circuited just months after its inception by an assassin's calculated silencing of King. It was in the course of that fight for better wages and treatment of black sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968, that King's life was cut short at age 39.
Many people tell me how perplexed they are by the muted conversation about poverty by today's national leaders and policymakers. Mention of poverty during the last election cycle was non-existent, other than ill-conceived characterizations of those below the line. No anti-poverty agendas were brought forth or even intimations made that they're forthcoming. Poverty is treated as an intractable problem that we feel sorry exists, and we quickly concede to political impotence.
While we remain trapped by the political morass of poverty, those sinking in it expand to greater numbers. Kentucky – a state with more than one in four children in poverty and nearly 800,000 citizens in poverty overall — can ill afford to refuse a solutions-based dialogue.
James Ziliak, an economics professor at the University of Kentucky and founding director of the U.K. Center for Poverty Research says the Bluegrass state has the fifth highest poverty rate in the nation. He says the boom and bust cycles in manufacturing and resource extraction leave Kentucky particularly vulnerable to sharp economic downturns — such as the one from which we're trying now to rebound.
Then there's the issue of the "persistently poor" counties in Kentucky, of which almost two dozen are situated in eastern Kentucky. By federal definition, these areas earn that classification when they've been economically distressed for at least 30 years. Michelle Tooley, a religion, social ethics, and public policy professor at Berea College, says there are "scarce resources…isolation, often poor transportation, sometimes not the access to utilities. But you also have this resource gap that is more than just money." Professors Tooley and Ziliak frame the issue further in this report.
Poverty is a multi-dimensional problem. But, it is not without solutions, as I've learned while producing/hosting (with Bill Goodman) a KET special that airs Monday at 8 pm ET. Community leaders, anti-poverty advocates, educators, and economists share their insights and lend recommendations on how — in the words of Dr. Martin L. King — "to make the invisible visible."
"The Price of Poverty in Kentucky" airs Monday at 8/7pm on KET.

The iPhone 4 has barely been on sale two weeks, but after a torrent of abuse Apple has finally had to cave and admit there are reception issues with its shiny new handset...
In an open letter late to iPhone 4 owners the company proclaimed:
"We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising. Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place."
Yes, only Apple could answer furious cries from its customers by declaring it is because they were giving them more than they were entitled to. Sarcasm aside Apple proposes:
"To fix this, we are adopting AT&T's recently recommended formula for calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone's bars will report it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2 and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.
We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G."
Given AT&T's notorious record as the carrier with the worst reception in the US adopting its formula for calculating reception and making bars one, two and three a bit taller seems a flaky fix. Numerous videos have shown you can make the iPhone 4 drop calls at times simply by using the infamous "Death Grip" and we have been able to replicate this, so I don't see how these measures will correct that. Furthermore, Apple says this problem afflicts the iPhone 3G and 3GS which a) means Apple has been exaggerating signal strengths for years and yet b) how come we've not run into these grip issues before?
Apple does deserve great credit for making the iPhone 4 its best handset to date. I've bought one and, in general, my experience is call quality and reception is much improved over previous generations. That said sometimes it would be nice for Apple to show some humility and admit even its much lauded designs can occasionally have defects...
Yeah, right!?!
In related news there are widespread reports that iTunes' accounts have been hacked. According to MacRumors threads both developers and users have been affected, though the scale of the attack is unknown. Initial talk is of the hack being by a single iPhone developer since many of their apps were pushed up the charts following the attack - not exactly the most subtle way of covering your tracks.
Be interesting to see how Apple explains we got more than we were entitled to here.

Sophie Theallet Fall 2013
This season, Sophie Theallet has done a lot of separates: overcoats, jackets, trousers, skirts, blouses. . . . You ask, so? Well, the big deal is that it's new territory for the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winner, who's been a dress designer since launching her label in 2007. Her pieces, favored by the likes of Michelle Obama, are known for being extremely well-made (Sophie Theallet worked in Alaïa's studio for many years, after all) and ultrafeminine.
But all that has changed this season (not the craftsmanship, though; that's still there in spades). "It's very practical," Theallet said of her fall collection backstage late Tuesday afternoon. "Very elegant." But not screaming lady. That's for two reasons. One, Theallet won last year's regional International Woolmark Prize for the States, and wool really lends itself well to coats and pants, so it got her moving in that direction. And two, she was inspired this season by photographs of her mother on the slopes of France's Haute-Pyrénées region right after World War II. Ski clothes "were so chic at that time. Not the way they are today, but maybe a black sweater, black pants."
So, though it's not a literal translation, you'll find trim "ski" pants in stretch wool of winter white and gray, and alpine-appropriate cable-knit shells and striped merino pullovers. The aforementioned coats and jacket are wool flannel, too (some luxuriously lined with caramel-hued silk).
Alongside the grays and whites are turquoise—in the form of a knit, A-line dress—and dashes of purple and red (with a tulip-print silk).
And the dresses? They are still there, as a simple flannel shift, a knee-length pleated chiffon—an old standby look it was nice to see in the mix—and a liquidy, back-revealing blue silk evening dress, which will keep Theallet's fans coming back. And, they'll stay for the coats and trousers, too.

or did you do a "Live" frugal iso install or a "Live" frugal install
on NTFS internal hdd?

I'm posting from the new Archbang release, 2011.11, which I downloaded yesterday. It's fast and works really well, but I still find the default themes much too dark. I also can't find any office apps such as Gnumeric and Abiword. Otherwise, it would definitely be a contender for my favourite live distro apart from Puppy.
At the very least, it's an easy route into Arch.

Thanks. I've installed abiword and gnumeric (and a handful of other packages such as gkrellm and midnight commander) now.
For most people, especially ones with a bit of Linux experience, I think Archbang would fulfil their needs for a Linux distro. It's both fast and lightweight, and via the Arch repositories can access a large collection of apps which are all very up to date (this in particular impressed me).
It doesn't have Portabase, however (as both Puppy and Debian do), and I can't see any way of installing it in Arch or Archbang. Slackware has the same problem.
(A quick update: I've now managed to install Portabase in Archbang by converting the Portabase 2 pet to a tar.gz file. It would probably work for a Slackware distro as well).

Currently trying a live USB of Bodhi Linux - a ubuntu LTS based distro using 18.104.22.168 kernel - surprisingly it picked up my B43 wireless out of the box with NetworkManager (every other buntu distro i tried in the past failed at this)
The windows manager is Enlightenment, im not sure if i like it or not you see some real slick screen shots of it but there are settings for absolutely everything which can be a bit frustrating and overwhelming - it is however light weight using around 120mb of ram at idle - i imagine it would use a bit less for a normal HDD install.
There's not much installed applications wise (Midori browser, Leafpad text editor, PcmanFm file manager ) <-- and thats it ! so if you are looking for a complete distro this probably isn't for you - but if you like to have the freedom to install what you want then this is a plus - as there isn't much pre installed the .ISO is only around 350mb download.
Overall i give Boghi Linux a thumbs up - light weight in size and resources - and if you don't like Enlightenment then Bohdi linux will probably make a good starting point for installing some other windows manager like LXDE with out all the bloat of the official version of Lubuntu.

Another quick update. Apart from Puppy Classic, I'm just Just using ArchBang at the moment. I stopped being able to log in to Swift Linux (which I'd installed to my hard drive) for some reason, and without Swift there's not a lot of point keeping Mint Debian (since the Mint Grub installer won't pick up ArchBang on my drive, or vice versa, and I'm still figuring out how to work with Grub manually).
This reminds me of something; wasn't there an attempt recently to build Puppy out of Arch? If so, does anyone know what became of it?

There was such an attempt yes but
maybe it was too difficult to accomplish?
while I am at it. Archiso by Gedano is the only arch
that allow one to boot frugal install on NTFS?
I totally failed with ArchBang. It search something
but never find it.
title Archiso-live boots okay on frugal install but don't allow me to write to the partition it booted from
root (hd0,2)
kernel /archiso/boot/vmlinuz from=/dev/sda3/archiso rw elevator=deadline session=xfce nonfree=no
initrd /archiso/boot/initrd.img
But Godane then had a HDD crash and being a poor student
could not afford to buy a computer with similar specifications
and the one that was given to him by supporters of Archiso
that one had not enough specification to run well so he changed
from Arch to Slitaz and try to make Slitaz modular in same way
as his Archiso was modular???
But the embarrassing thing is that the official Slitaz 3 boot very
easily while Godane's Slitaz fails to boot using the frugal code
that I tried it with. So either that I miss a needed code or him
changed something that is needed to boot in fruga install on NTFS.

Juts an update to my previous post r.e. Bodhi Linux - well i went ahead and did a HDD install - all pretty much straight forward, uses what looks like the ubuntu installer, install time was about 5 minutes from a live USB - installed size on the HDD is 1.3gb - ram usage when installed around 90mb. Im really not sold on E17 so installed openbox + tint2 + mplayer ram usage 70mb

Puppy 525 takes a full 4min. (to boot)
How do you boot it then? Mine boot within a minute not sure 45 or 35 seconds from power on to desktop usable. How can it take four minutes?
Oh you use an old version of Flash thumb memory and has a huge pupsave file?
I use Netrunner live when I want an ubuntu and booting it frugally like this
title Netrunner 2011 frugal iso boot of netrunner-3.2.iso
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /netrunner-3.2.iso
kernel /netrunner/casper/vmlinuz rw file=/cdrom/preseed/netrunner.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/netrunner-3.2.iso noeject noprompt quiet splash --
initrd /netrunner/casper/initrd.lz
I boot that on internal NTFS hdd same partition that have Windows on it.
Grub4dos code and it allow me to both read and write without being root or to do any sudo or su or any change of permissions whatsoever.

James that seems very reasonable. 35 seconds seems statistically fair to guess most people boots.
So WindUpToy how have you set it all up? Full install on ext4 or somethign on USB?
But WindUpToy gets it most likely very right.
If one have a cheap 2 or 4 GB Flash memory of the older type.
I have several that are say 3 years old. I booted a lupu513
from one such the other day and it took many many minutes.
I did not expect it to take that long time so I did not look at the clock.

I tested one of those Ubuntu that is not FOSS because
these versions have already installed a lot of proprietary codex
and programs and so on that the standard Ubuntu tells you
to download on your own conscience to use.
But that makes it not practical if one boot frugally because
Ubuntu don't save on the NTFS drive so it does not remember
the changes one have made.
Now why would one want to do a frugal install of Super OS
or SuperX or Netrunner or Bodhi or Peppermint or any of all the others?
Because it is a very fast way to get to know them before one decide
on doing real installs of them.

The boot code that I have described allow one to iso boot
and with the feature that one can do edit and almost anything
a nooby need to do with Puppy and without being root and not
having to learn Sudo or Su or Admin or any such. It just works.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

I pretty much stopped distro hopping when I loaded Bodhi on my laptop.
As much as I am impressed with Puppy, I need to be able to install printer drivers for a Lexmark which are designed for 10.04. Also, it is nice to have a fully functional apt-get on the command line. The other issue I have always had with Puppy is a dislike for ROX.
E17/Thunar is a nicer mix in my mind. Bodhi stays small if one is carefull not to allow a full upgrade and the online instal option from the repos is very nice. As the puppy wends his way twords slackware, it might be that I will stay with a 'buntu spin, but I will be watching some of the debian based Pups to see if I can go back to Puppy.

Bodhi makes a great live CD, using Remastersys.
and that is the topic of that post. I.E: live CD.
I would like to hear if anyone is able to boot a remastered Puppy 525 live CD that has only 3 extra installed progs, including Firefox, in under 4mins.
Asking questions about how I have it installed completely ignores the topic.
I know exactly how you feel, altho I use several "activity" setups of Puppy for different purposes, e.g: Publishing, GPS & Mapping, Testing & Building, etc, but for the NET I use a LIVE CD.
I hope that clears things up for those who didn't get it.
(a clue may have been got from the line under my location, on the left... Slick525DVD)

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 23003
Issue #3 of my perzine, Tempest in a Tea Cup.
Featuring tales of love, sex, feminism, porn, mental health and much more!
Printed in black and white, my half size zine is full of old vintage advert backgrounds and printed text.
Have a zine to trade? Just message me and I'll more than likely be happy to trade with you.
Or you can buy a copy of my zines from my etsy.
The first issue of The Postcard Review is now done. There are only a limited number of copies and they are only available to trade. It is Quarter size (one sheet of A3 folded origami style) and features brief reviews of some zines I have read, plus how to get hold of a copy for yourself. TRADE ONLY because it is quite small and then those who trade with a zine will probably get it into the next issue.
If you want a copy just send me a message and we'll work something out.

VMware And salesforce.com Join Forces To Push PaaS To Mainstream Adoption With vmforce
salesforce.com and VMware announced today the development of a joint product and service offering named vmforce. Forrester had a chance to talk to executives at both companies prior to the announcement, and I am quite impressed by the bold move of the two players. Most developers in corporate environments and ISVs perceive the two stacks as two totally different alternatives when selecting a software platform. While the VMware stack, with its Tomcat-based Spring framework, reached mainstream popularity among Java developers with its more lightweight standard Java approach, salesforce.com's Force.com stack was mostly attractive to developers who liked to extend CRM packaged apps with individual business logic or to ISVs that created new applications from scratch. In some cases, the Java standard and the more proprietary APEX language at Force.com even appeared as competitive options.

For Conor Henderson, the 2011/12 season can probably best be described as frustrating.
The cultured midfielder looked set for a breakthrough campaign when he came off the bench in the first team's July friendly against Cologne. But within minutes of his arrival at the RheinEnergie Stadion, he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury and was sidelined for eight months.
It was particularly tough on Conor as he had already had a similar setback as a 17-year-old, but he worked tirelessly and made his comeback in the reserves' 1-0 victory at Newcastle in April. "I felt relief, happiness, everything you could imagine to be playing again. The frustration was gone, it was a very good feeling," he said afterwards.
Now that his injury problems have been consigned to the past, Conor can look to the future with real optimism as he aims to force his way back into the first-team reckoning.
"I have just had to stay positive and patient. I knew I would get back eventually. I thought there would be some apprehension about playing again - there was with the last - but I felt fearless. There were no worries, I just concentrated on playing. There was no reaction in the knee, no pain at all."
Just stepping out on to the pitch again must have felt like a minor victory for Conor, but he was one of the reserves' star men in their victory against Newcastle. Always looking for the ball, he delivered a series of beautifully-weighted passes to remind everyone at the Club what they had been missing.

A little back ground about me:
I tried the university thing and due to a combination of youth, immaturity and financial pressure I dropped out, so I don't have a degree, but I do have a small pile of debt blocking my way if I wanted to go back to school and get a degree.
I'm going through a really hard time these days and looking for a way to make some big changes in my life. I've been looking at the global TESOL website but I'm concerned the site is making promises they can't keep.
The website says that they guarantee work within a year and that the pay range is between 500-8000 USD per month. What I'm wondering is what kind of pay range is reasonable for me to expect without a degree?
The website mentions that the average is around 2000 USD per month - without a degree and with minimal TESOL training do I stand any chance whatsoever at even approaching this number or am I pretty much locked into 500 USD per month jobs?
I'm looking for a way to make some money to pay off my debt while gaining some valuable life experience. Am I deluding myself?

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by jkl, Oct 8, 2012.
Double elimination this week. I fear I will be unhappy twice this week
Me too. I'll make sure to get my phone votes in though. But my computer is way to slow and frustrating to deal with online voting. And I'm probably the only person in the world who does not have a cell phone to text.
I don't text either! (But I do vote via landline sometimes.)
Looking forward to tonight. Does anyone know the theme (if any)?
Each couple was supposed to pick an iconic dance from a past season (although it wasn't clear to me if they had to be one they danced previously or if they could pick from any dance that's ever been on the show) and to spruce it up and make it better.
Opening starts with couples coming down the different staircases... I don't know, I much prefer them all coming down the big center one. I can't believe I'm nitpicking something like that. Oof.
And.. nice lingerie, Peta. Based on that "costume" they doing one of Edyta's dances..?
Fail on the camera work during Drew's number. He was doing some big move and they totally missed it.
Poor Nick - he doesn't even rank a front row seat.
ETA: Oh Bristol. The best thing you had going for you was that you treated Mark well and didn't act like a diva. Looks like you're going to blow that.
Really enjoyed Drew & Anna, I thought it was their best program yet. Anna was spectacular, loved the hair.
Drew & Anna chose to replicate Joey McIntyre & Ashly DelGrosso's Cha Cha.
Scores: 8, 8, 8
What's this..."drama" between Bristol and Mark?
I agree with Gilles about the imitating iconic dance routine bit.
Oh Gilles, please don't leave my tv (although placement in the first part of the show isn't a good sign).
Oh... Gilles and Peta did not do it for me. Too dark (why hide that man!) and didn't really get the harness flying thing. Gilles also need to do something better with his mouth than grimace.
AYIIIII - cold water shower now!
How is that decided?
Gilles & Peta have picked Erin Andrews & Maks' tango. The singers attempt harmony. Notice I said 'attempt.'
Scores: 8.5, 8.5, 8.5
I don't know, but I think it's the producers based on the "flow" of the show.
Melissa just made me miss JR.
Melissa & Tony have chosen JR & Karina's samba. SAMBA ROLLS! What a great dance, I enjoyed that immensely.
Scores: 9, 9, 9
Those scores were better than they deserved.
i love apolo but i dont feel any chemistry, not even friendly platonic chemistry betw them
Love me some Apolo. Carrie Ann looked a little zoned out.
Apolo & Karina have picked Gilles & Cheryl's foxtrot.
Scores: 9, 8, 8.5
I must have missed what the judges saw in kelly
Kelly & Val have elected to replicate Laila Ali & Maks' paso doble.
Scores: 9, 9, 9
It's cute to see Kelly's tv Mom there cheering each week as if she were her real Mom
i think her natural stiffness worked in some parts of the dance
LOL! I actually loved it along with the dress she was wearing - just gorgeous.
I thought Kelly and Val were fabulous.
Well, he was fabulous, I'm not sure if my eyes wandered in her direction at all.
this. occasionally she blocked my view of him so i can't say i never saw her once, i just never chose to look at her given a choice.
That was strange from Max and Kristie. But the singers made it awful...
Paula Abdul will be guest-judging next week!
Kirstie & Maks have picked Carson Kressley & Anna's cha cha. Oh. My. God.
Scores: 8, 8, 8


text: Stand for Children ballot initiative fails to deliver "I fear that [the Stand for Children] ballot initiative would set up a distracting and divisive battle, engendering an over-simplified public dialogue that would alienate educators and prevent us from achieving a variety of reform goals." – Mass. Secretary of Education Paul Reville, November 2011 Recognizing that excellent teachers are critically important for student success, the MTA has long advocated for high standards for those who want to enter and remain in the profession, along with high-quality mentoring and professional development for educators. This past year, the MTA was a leader in developing a more effective and comprehensive educator evaluation system – one that includes a streamlined process for dismissing teachers who receive poor evaluations and fail to improve. This new system is being rolled out statewide over the next three years. Unfortunately, a national organization with no particular expertise in education – Stand for Children – is seeking to disrupt the implementation of this system through an initiative petition on the November 2012 ballot. This complex question would make changes in the yet-to-be-implemented evaluation system and impose new state mandates on school district personnel decisions. The initiative is opposed by Massachusetts Education Secretary Paul Reville and a growing number of affected groups, including the Massachusetts Parent Teacher Association, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators' Association, the American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Reading Association, the Massachusetts Association of College and University Reading Educators, the Massachusetts School Library Association, the Massachusetts Council for the Social Studies and the Massachusetts Administrators for Special Education. And the opposition is growing. Here are some of the reasons the MTA is opposed to the ballot question: It's a distraction from the real issues. This divisive proposal is a gimmick that will divert time, money and energy away from important priorities for our students such as: Keeping class sizes small. Restoring art, music and other enrichment classes. Supporting programs that help attract excellent teachers to work in hard-to-staff schools. Improving access to high-quality early childhood education. It takes away local control. This initiative would reduce local control over our schools by requiring every district to follow one-size-fits-all state mandates in making transfer and layoff decisions. Those decisions should be made at the community level – by letting districts and employees collectively bargain personnel systems that meet the needs of their particular communities. The teachers' voice in this process is critically important. It invites age discrimination and favoritism. The proposal opens the door to favoritism, nepotism and age discrimination – all problems that a more objective system is designed to counteract. An experienced teacher in good standing who is at the top of the pay scale could be laid off to make room for a less expensive teacher with far less classroom expertise. An outspoken, experienced teacher could be replaced by a more compliant novice educator, or one who is well-connected to a local politician or school official. It's policy by bumper sticker – not collaboration. Although a Stand representative served on the task force that recommended the evaluation system changes, that representative never once proposed the changes contained in the ballot question. Instead, the organization raised money from wealthy individuals at Bain Capital and elsewhere and proceeded on its own to draft a long and complicated ballot question without conferring with the education and parent groups most affected by it. The summary of this initiative alone is four pages long – far too extensive for voters to read, interpret and make informed decisions on in the few minutes they have to spend in the voting booth. While the bill is long, the campaign simplistically claims that a yes vote is for "great teachers" and implies that those who oppose it are against quality schools. This is education policy by bumper sticker, not by thoughtful collaboration. The MTA has been a leader in promoting initiatives to help students achieve at the highest levels and promoting the voices of educators with proven expertise in collaborative efforts to help schools succeed. We are currently providing professional services in Holyoke and New Bedford to help those districts implement the new evaluation system in schools that are designated Level 4, or underperforming. Although Massachusetts schools are already ranked number one on many national and international measures, we are always open to ideas about how to make them work better. We strongly believe that cooperation and discussion among all affected parties is a far better approach than forcing an up-or-down vote on a complicated and deeply flawed ballot initiative.

Leading experts shifted attention away from mundane issues like the Israel-Palestinian conflict to a major issue confronting Europeans–what exactly is the secret plan of IKEA to use backward areas of Europe in its quest for world domination of furniture? Why has Sweden's IKEA launched a pre-emptive attack on the innocent people of Denmark? The Danish, Nyhedsavisen, raised an important question, one which soon will be on the lips of people throughout the world–Why is it that Swedish and Norwegian place names are always asssociated with the shiniest, comfiest furnishings in the IKEA catalog whlle the names of Danish towns are reserved for doormats? Professor Klaus Kjoller of the University of Copenhagen recently noted: "IKEA has chosen the objects with the lowest value and given them Danish names? And, that is not a coincidence!
According to IKEA, the naming of carpets with Danish names is a coincidence, that's just the way the carpet folds. But, to the aroused natives of Sweden, their right to name a doormat with a Danish name is done with the purpose of ensuring doormats are reserved for Danish people because this piece of furniture reflects the people who use it.

Native protest disrupts Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal rail service
By Frank McGurty
TORONTO (Reuters) - Aboriginal demonstrators disrupted passenger rail service on routes connecting Toronto with Ottawa and Montreal on Saturday, a day after Canada's prime minister agreed to meet with First Nations leaders to discuss grievances behind a growing native protest movement.
About 1,000 people traveling on four trains were stranded on VIA Rail routes in eastern Ontario when the railway stopped service in both directions Saturday evening, said a VIA Rail spokeswoman, Annie Marsolais. The passengers were completing their trips on buses provided by the railway.
VIA Rail could provide no firm timetable for the resumption of service, saying it was awaiting further information from local authorities about the protest, which was blocking tracks near Marysville, about 205 kilometers (127 miles) east of Toronto.
Authorities on the scene of the protest could not immediately be reached for comment.
It was at least the third major rail disruption in the past month by demonstrators from the loosely organized Idle No More movement. Protesters blocked a Canadian National Railway line in Sarnia, Ontario, for about two weeks until Wednesday, and there were shorter blockades elsewhere in the country, including one that delayed passenger trains between Montreal and Toronto for several hours last Sunday.
There were also scattered demonstrations on U.S.-Canadian border crossings in the Niagara region near Buffalo, New York, and in eastern Ontario, according to the media reports.
Saturday's protests came even though Prime Minister Stephen Harper extended an olive branch to the angry aboriginal movement on Friday by agreeing to a January 11 meeting to discuss social and economic issues. Continued...

The Iowa Lakes Community College Wrestling team is preparing for the 2012- 2013 season under the new direction of Head Coach Cody Alesch.
"We need to stay healthy throughout the year since we do not have a lot of depth at numerous weight classes," he said. "Each individual will need to work hard to get better every day."
The sophomores will have a big part in the success of the Lakers.
Nick Lawrence and Skyler Rice are returning National Qualifiers, looking to improve on last season. Other returners such as Glenn Cothren, Nate Lawrence, Travis Johnson and Riley Edwards are working to make statements as they finish out their last year at Iowa Lakes.
"All these guys have been working hard and stepped in as leaders from the time they got back on campus this fall," Alesch said. "This group will need to push their teammates to get better every day and lead by example on and off the mat."
Coach Alesch is looking for his freshmen to mature quickly.
"These young men will need to step up like they are upper classman to help their team reach its full potential," he said. "If they push each other individually and collectively to improve every day, we will have several guys making a name for themselves by the end of the season."
The schedule for Iowa Lakes is no walk in the park.
"We wrestle in a very tough conference and travel to some large tournaments, which is exactly what I want for my guys," Alesch said. "We need to compete against the best in the nation every week if we are going to get better both physically and mentally throughout the season."

Title says it all.. My nephew is graduating from High School soon, and his dream come true is a party where everyone in the family (20 or so of us) are to dress up as their favorite superhero. Most everyone is doing Marvel or DC characters, but Boba Fett is my choice.
So long story short, I looked at the helmets on EBay and they look like **** compared to what is being made by the people on this site. I would be happy with most anything half decent, meaning it doesn't have to be a perfect replica from any specific episode.
So if anyone has an extra, or knows where I can get something for an o.k. price, let me know.
After searching this site for a while, I am also planning a garbage can build of my armor. Any tips or links for a comprehensive build would be really appreciated. Thanks all!

Fisheries Management in Public Waters
Management of Public Fishing Areas (PFAs)
Public Fishing Areas help meet the demand for boat and bank fishing opportunities by providing lakes, managed primarily for fishing, in areas of the state where these opportunities are limited. They also provide unique opportunities for public education about the aquatic environment, Kids Fishing Events, etc. These facilities provide an excellent learning environment where children not only can experience fishing as a recreation, but can also be exposed to and learn to value the natural environment.
We are presently working to make these facilities an integral part of our efforts to provide more educational opportunities on the aquatic environment both for children and adults. Expenditures on this program utilize about 8% of the Section's annual budget.
Get detailed information about Georgia's Public Fishing Areas.

It's all about me (thane)!
Well, it's not really all about me. But methane has figured strongly in a couple of stories recently and gets an apparently-larger-than-before shout-out in Al Gore's new book as well. Since a part of the recent discussion is based on a paper I co-authored in Science, it is probably incumbent on me to provide a little context.
First off, these latest results are being strongly misrepresented in certain quarters. It should be obvious, but still bears emphasizing, that redistributing the historic forcings between various short-lived species and CH4 is mainly an accounting exercise and doesn't impact the absolute effect attributed to CO2 (except for a tiny impact of fossil-derived CH4 on the fossil-derived CO2). The headlines that stated that our work shows a bigger role for CH4 should have made it clear that this is at the expense of other short-lived species, not CO2. Indeed, the attribution of historical forcings to CO2 that we made back in 2006 is basically the same as it is now.
As is well known, methane (CH4) is the greenhouse gas whose anthropogenic increase comes second only to CO2 in its 20th Century effect on climate. It is often stated that methane is 'roughly 20 times more powerful' as a greenhouse gas than CO2 and this can refer to one of two (very different) metrics. If you calculate the instantaneous forcing for an equivalent amount of CO2 and CH4 (i.e. for a 1 ppmv increase in both), you find that the global forcing for CH4 is about 23-24 times as large (depending slightly on the background assumed). Separately, if you look up the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CH4 in IPCC AR4 (the integrated forcing of a kg of CH4 compared to kg of CO2 over a 100 year period), you get a value of about 25. GWP is used to compare the effects of emissions today on climate in the future. The numbers are only coincidentally similar since the GWP incorporates both the weight ratio and the ratio of effective lifetimes in the atmosphere which roughly cancel for a 100 year time-horizon.
In the Second Assessment report (1995), the GWP for methane was 21, and it was increased in AR4 because of a greater appreciation for the indirect effects of methane on atmospheric chemistry, and in particular its role as a tropospheric ozone precursor (since increasing methane leads to an increase in low level ozone). There is also an indirect effect on stratospheric water vapour where methane oxidation is a significant source of water in an otherwise very dry region. Both tropospheric ozone and stratospheric water vapour are effective greenhouse gases so including these indirect effects made the net effect of methane greater.
In the standard 'forcings bar chart' such as seen in Hansen's papers, or in TAR, or AR4 (figure 2.20), each change in atmospheric composition is given a separate column. Thus ozone and aerosol effects are denoted separately. Starting off with a paper we wrote in 2005, though, a different approach that is perhaps more useful to policy makers has also been adopted. This 'emissions-based' viewpoint attributes the forcings to the actual emissions, rather than to the eventual concentration. Thus since some of the ozone increase is related to CH4 emissions, you get to include that under CH4. The other ozone precursors (carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds) can also now be blamed for a portion of the ozone impact.
