Hi. Anyone seen or spoken to Ruffkintoy(Chuck)? I've been PM'ing him but he has not been on in a while. Please ask him to check his PM's if you talk to him. Thanks!
Hi. Anyone seen or spoken to Ruffkintoy(Chuck)? I've been PM'ing him but he has not been on in a while. Please ask him to check his PM's if you talk to him. Thanks!
I've also tried reaching him, but to no avail
Email is the best way to reach him, he sometimes goes awhile without visiting the site. If you email him, he will get back to you usually in a day or 2.
True dat. I emailed him directly and he got back to me within a week.
PM sent
Over the last week or two, he's been in the process of moving houses. Never fear, he'll get back with everyone once he has the chance.
I talked to him at WWC back in June and he was great
I usually chat with him over AIM. I haven't seen him online in a while though.
I'm still trying to contact Chuck. I have e-mailed him but no response back. Please, if anyone talks to him ask him to PM me or e-mail me back. Thanks!
I've been waiting on some stuff from him for a little bit too. The last email i got from on 8/6 him said:
"Sorry for the no response to this email, I just moved into my new place and just got the cable hooked up. I am trying to get everything sorted(can't find anything in the mess)"
I just said thanks for the update and he replied again within about 15 min saying sorry again for the wait.
I emailed him again yesterday for another update, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
He's busy, swamped I'm sure, with moving all his stuff and setting up his new place, in addition to the fact he has a good load of orders of items to get sorted.
The dude is busy but hasn't forgotten, just needs some time to get set back up again.
Hey I am waiting on a pair of gauntlets from him but i just got a reply from him today to my email. He has been really busy. I was just getting worried, but he isn't the most easy to get in touch with. But he useually will respond when he gets the chance.
i have had to wait to wait on items from Chuck as well, back in march and april...alot of people have their stuff done thru him, so he is very busy...i contacted him in leiux of another member....cough cough, irish... and he got back with me with the same info...give him time, he will come through for you guys, and you will be pleased.... and yes, email for sure, he isnt here very often, but when he is, he does get with you....hope that gives some comfort...i needed it back in april too!!
Got another reply from him, he's so busy trying to get all set up. Don't worry tho, he'll get back up and running soon!
I've got a set of gauntlets comming from him..eventually.. he said they're done and just waiting to ship. But that was weeks ago. I sent him an email LAST Saturday and havent gotten a reply :-(
Chuck never rips anyone off, he always pulls through.
Oh i'm not worried about being ripped off. I know enough about his reputation to not be concerned there. Its just that I ordered the gauntlets in early June, and I'm just more worried about being able to do anything WITH the gauntlets when they do arrive. Winter's not that far off in these parts
Thanks for your reassurance guys. I will sit tight and wait.
About a week and a half ago, I expressed my concerns about not receiving my stuff in time to get it all painted and ready for my Halloween deadline. He replied on Thursday (9/18 ) saying it will go out the next day (9/19) and he will provide a tracking #.
Here I am, a week later, worried as all hell that I won't be able to have my costume ready for Halloween, and I still have not heard back from him with a tracking number. I am only hoping he sent the stuff, but never got around to emailing me the tracking number. I have no way of knowing though.
I've seen firsthand Chuck's work from another member in my area, and he was not the only person to refer me to Chuck for my armor needs.
PLEASE tell me that my anxiety is for naught. People say "just sit tight, the gauntlets and armor will be worth the wait."
I am beginning to think that after 3 months passed the original ETA, maybe it is not worth it, especially if it keeps me from meeting my deadline for Halloween (which would be 4 and a half months after I placed my order).
I know (per what he told me) he's been extremely busy at cons all summer, he did just move and is getting set up again, his dog died, and he took a whack to the head so he's a little off his game, but I am really worried. Maybe I caught him in a bad year??
Does anybody have Chuck's number?
i had to wait a loooooooooooooong time for my jumpsuit, got numerous excuses and promises unfufilled when told that it was coming...it is inexcuseable to lead people on like this...it is NOT THAT DIFFICULT to drop a line letting someone know what the deal is...DONT TELL someone that their stuff is shipping out and a tracking number will be sent, and then NOT DO IT!!!!!!! im sorry if i offend anyone, break rules, etc...but this kind of thing has got to stop...these vendors refuse to pass on their skills to others so that there can be more people doing these items, and help keep orders from getting backed up...STOP TAKING ORDERS UNTIL PREVIOUS ONES ARE DONE, OR AT LEAST DONT TAKE PAYMENT UNTIL READY TO START ON THE ORDER!! i have Chucks gauntlets, i finally got my jumpsuit, which is another story, and he does good work...but dude, really? how many people are in this postition waiting for their stuff? im sorry, unacceptable...
I'm in your boat too. I'm trying to have my Boba done by mid October. I have been e-mailing him as well but I have not gotten a response since August. I would appreciate it if anyone who has had more recent contact mention my name to him. Thanks.
Just wanted to let everybody know that last week I finally got my gauntlets in the mail!!! I ordered them back in April and I got them in September. Well, he does eventually pull through but if you order from him don't be in a rush. I have to say he has the best gauntlets for the price but for such a cheap set with good quality I guess the trade off is the waiting. I am not saying that when I got the gauntlets they were ready to wear.....they will need some "care" and I have to rework a few parts. So basically to sum it up....
if your in a rush I would not recommend. Yet, if you got some time, I woudl highly recommend them. I hope all of you guys get your stuff soon.
I think I first contacted him in May... so maybe my order will be up. Thanks.
I originally ordered Gauntlets in April, but ordered the rest of the armor in May. I asked him to hold onto the gauntlets until the armor was done, so he could ship everything all together and save me some shipping costs. I was gracious that he accepted to do so, he wasn't obligated to but it was for my benefit.
So on Wed, 5/21/08 (when I sent payment for the rest of the stuff) he gave me an ETA of 2-4 weeks. I even gave him a full 4 weeks before I bothered him again. I'm still waiting.
He's being doing this for years, so I know he is not about to start 'jacking anybody's money and rip them off. He has good quality items at an attractive and affordable price tag, but the down side seems to be that you have to wait 4 times longer than he tells you it will take.
Not bashing, just expressing my worries. Still would like his number if anybody has it.
Just remember that the artists/vendors here do this in their spare time. Things come up and sometimes that is just part of it. When I've dealt with Chuck he was awesome, good communication and super fast turn around (just a couple of weeks at Christmas time!). Everyone has life issues to deal with. The time frames you guys are talking does seem a little excessive, but really isn't all that uncommon when you are dealing high demand props made by a hobbyist in their own home on their own time. As to the exchange of money, did Chuck ask for it or did you just send it to him? He doesn't seem the type to ask for money in advance knowing full well he won't get around to filling the order for awhile.

Fleming dismissed as Fitch boys' basketball coach
Groton — Chad Fleming, Fitch High School's first-year boys' basketball coach, has been dismissed immediately, athletic director Marc Romano confirmed Tuesday night.
"It was an administrative decision," said Romano, who declined further comment because it was personnel issue.
Junior varsity coach Ryan Magee will serve as interim head coach the rest of the season, Romano said.
The Falcons, 3-10 overall and 2-4 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division, play at division leader Woodstock Academy on Wednesday night.
Fleming, when reached for comment, said, "I'm very disappointed with the way things turned out. It's unfortunate, but I wish the kids in the program nothing but the best in moving forward."
Fleming is the second ECC head coach to be replaced in the middle of the season. Stonington boys' coach Tim Payne resigned on Jan. 16 and was replaced by Kevin Dipollino on an interim basis for the rest of the season.

Detailed images on a Chinese blog may reveal more about the next-generation Olympus PEN. Although no official announcement has been made, the extent of the leaks about the camera make its existence an open secret. Rumors suggest the camera will be called the E-P5, and suggest it will have Wi-Fi capabilities (both of which seem plausible, based on the company's naming scheme and recent industry trends).
We can't speculate any further on the specifications but the images, that appeared on Chinese tech site Mobile01.com, look promising. Assuming they're genuine, it's clear is that Olympus' design department has done a great job of refining the classic styling language it got so right with the OM-D.
Images from Mobile01.com
Am I the only one who thinks that the original E-P1 had the best balance of retro and modern styling?
No, you are not the only one. But this camera has almost everything I am missing at my E-P1. The screen and the optional VF. Flash is also nice. I don't have one of my flashes with me all the time. (FL-14, FL-36R)
Well the touch-AF in the EM-5 is just great. This will be great in this camera too.
I can't understand this: if there is no built-in VF, which disqualify any camera for quantity of possible customers, why they do a tiltable glossy (shiny) LCD? It is unusable for serious focusing even under overcast sky. Why don't they put there a matt screen?
First of all, millions of people all around the world do just fine with the rear LCD of their digital cameras. Secondly, most users will overwhelmingly use these cameras in AF mode, in which case it's merely a matter of pointing the desired AF point at whatever object you want in focus, or use touch focus to touch the part of the screen you want to be in focus. Thirdly, it has high magnification mode for manual focus, and it also now has focus peaking, both of which do a great job of assisting in "serious (manual) focusing". And fourthly, you can get an add-on EVF (choose from the VF-2, VF-3, or the latest VF-4 which will be introduced with the E-P5). So ultimately, your concerns are a bit overblown when you consider the options when it comes to using this camera. Frankly, I think they've covered all the bases (reliable AF, touch AF, focus magnification, focus peaking, high resolution LCD, and several EVF options to choose from).
The touch-AF is realy great. I think the best AF ever. But it would be even better if it would be less glossy.
Am I imagining things, or is that a black version of the 17mm f1.8?
Full E-P5 specifications now available here:
For those of you who want an EVF on the cheap, consider that the Oly VF-3 is only $99 right now. (The higher-spec VF-2 is also pretty darn cheap, selling for as low as $169 right now, at B&H.) It may not be the state of the art in terms of EVF technology, but I've been using my VF-3 for the last year and I have no complaints. It does the job quite nicely, especially for the price. Sure, if you do a direct comparison with the newest and best EVF's, you'll see a difference in quality and resolution. But for day-to-day casual shooting, I don't think it's that big of a deal. It does what it's supposed to do, and I have plenty of great images to prove it. And the nice thing about a separate EVF is that you can upgrade it later, independent of the body.
Nice camera. I think I'm finally going to upgrade my E-PL2 to this. The E-PL5 is a good body but I'd hate having to switch between a VF and flash, and the E-P3 had the old sensor. I'm not bothered by the lack of built-in VF as I have a VF-2.
That said, I wonder what the E-M6 is going to be like. Would Olympus put a pop-up flash in it?
You are not going to buy it because it lacks VF?
You must be very very very professional photographer who earns 500.000$ per year...
It looks very nice!!!
I'll say that it's a pity it doesn't have an aps-c sensor, while the usual 4 people will saturate this thread as they did all others by complaining that it doesn't have a viewfinder although this company too makes a model with a VF. ;-p
"I'll say that it's a pity it doesn't have an aps-c sensor"
Who cares when its slightly smaller sensor takes better pictures than most APS-C cameras out there, including all Canons (50% of the ILC market by themselves), Samsung and Sony SLT cameras. And don't forget the lenses which no APS-C system can match, including Oly 12/2 (none is as fast at 24mm eq), Pana 7-14/4 (none is as wide), Oly 75/1.8 (none is as fast at 150mm-e), let alone as small and light. Plus 12/1.6, 17/0.95, 25/0.95(2 of them!) etc manual lenses.
Cameras and shoes and cologne, oh my! Which purchase will make the haute couture statement of panache this year for me? On second thought none of these cameras appear to be available with alligator skin, teak wood grip or Ferrari red finish. Blast! Think I'll crawl into the back seat of my Bentley and watch an episode of Downton Abbey to compose myself.
My NX10 has gold plated hot shoe....
So many dismissive comments for the lack of an integrated viewfinder... is it me or, if it had a viewfinder, people would find something else to criticise? Sensor area, perhaps...? Not having phase detection AF?
As they say, "haters gonna hate". Want an integrated viewfinder? You have the E-M5. This one is for people who do well without an EVF.
it is always the same 4 people complaining about the same thing. like it's a sin to offer a camera without one.
but I understand the camera makers, because there are only 4 people who want one, and those 4 already own a camera... so it's not a very large market. I guess they prefer to design for the silent majority who don't care. ;-p
@Timmbits - nothing wrong with a view finder really. The major reason why the manufacturers have skipped view finders is that they want to fill the back side of the camera with as large LCD they can fit.
I thought the same before I switched to a viewfinderless camera. Took a while to get used to, but now I just don't care. It's just a different way of framing photo.
I do however miss it when I need a little more stability sometimes.
The nice thing about a separate EVF is that A) you can remove it, B) you can transfer it to other Pen bodies, and C) you can upgrade it independently of the the body.
I have the Oly VF3. It may not be the state of the art in terms of EVF technology, but it only costs $99 right now! It does the job for me. And I can always upgrade to a newer version later.
Looks good .. at last something that really looks like a PEN.
Ah ,,, but it really should be portrait format.
Lookd like a n EM-5 with no viewfinder and an internal flash.
I wonder if it stil has 5 axis IBIS.
I think I read somewhere that the "viewfinder" hump of the EM-5 was filled with something to do with the IBIS.
One have to wonder , if these so call leaks is really leaks at all, viral marketing had been so good for marketing these days ... really ... lol
mobile01 is a Chinese site and also a Taiwanese site, both is correct. Chinese is not equal to China. Just like English is not equal to England. E.g. most English speaker do not live in England or never have been in England.
You have that right, DP Review has never been the same since they moved from the civilized shores of England to the farthest reaches of the American colonies. Judging by their abuse of the mother tongue, the staff is entirely make up of those disgraceful reprobates that all seem to gather in Seattle—fur trappers driven mad by loneliness, disgraced sea captains, and sasquatches trying to pass for human.
@rdsIII you still believe in "sun never sets on the british empire" crabs?
mobile01 is a Taiwanese site.
Interestingly Olympus will be releasing TWO new models, the other one is E-PL6. Today the E-P5 is hardly a secret, but all we know about E-PL6 is that it is "improved E-PL5". I am really curious to see what will be omitted in the E-PL6, and the price difference.
(I feel a bit like Cartman waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out...)
It took me a minute but now I understand the concept. This new Pen is bundled with the cologne and those swanky shoes. So maybe a leaked, in advance, pre-production article is useful, after all.
I think photographers are unmatched in their ability to be gear heads and Luddites at the same time. To say that NO enthusiast would use a camera without a viewfinder? Will there be no great photos from a cameras without viewfinders? Please!
Disliking LCD only cameras doesn't make you a luddite. That would imply that composing and shooting with an LCD is a new, and improved method that photographers stubbornly reject.
That's not it at all. VF makes it a much more pleasant experience especially in bright light.
There are plenty of models with viewfinders at various prices for those of us who want them. I wouldn't buy one without, not when a camera as good as the Panasonic G6 is available at a very reasonable price, but Olympus has sold enough cameras to know what will sell. I'm a bit surprised this doesn't have a vf, because they already have two models without and a NEX-6 competitor would be more interesting than this, but I don't work for Olympus.
Isn't this kind of pointless? I can wait for the real news release...
Surprised to see the lower resolution VF-3 on this camera rather than the VF-2. The P series normally uses the VF-2. Given that Epson have already announced the successor LCD from the VF-2, I would have expected to see a VF-4 on the EP-5.
"I would have expected to see a VF-4 on the EP-5."
And that is what you will see at http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-next-two-olympus-e-p5-pictures/
supposedly with a 2.1 million dot Epson panel.
On the EVF. I have an EP3 and VF2. I don't use the VF2 very much at all, but like the option of being able to put it on. What I REALLY want however is a little extension cord to allow me to hold my camera somewhere other than in front of my eye. A little connector cable couldn't cost much to make.... now that would be nice.
As someone recently said about RX-1.
"Its 1cm away from perfection."
Exactly that 1cm in which built-in EVF would fit. It would be absolutely amazing if it had EVF in same place as NEX-6 or 7. But no.. it must be external. :/
Well I will wait again. :)
Well, what about the OMD then?
Had an A2, was a great camera and quite "innovative" (I just say antishake and tiltable high-res viewfinder). Sadly this line was not developed further ...
I have 2 VF2 for my EP-3 cameras, but I rarely use them. The touch screen is enough for me, and I'm suspicious about tiltable screens as they easily break off.
Abusing your camera enough to break your tilt screen off would probably do a fair bit of damage to a regular fixed screen.
"Can you find me ONE thread on this whole forum of complainers that describes a user who actually broke a flip screen from their camera"
- Just search Olympus SLR forum for "split LCD" or "split screen". It was a known problem with E-3, mine had to go for service to fix it.
On the E-3, it was due to weak plastic connector threads that broke off, mine was fixed twice and there was absolutely no issue with the redesign on the E-5. On the EM-5, there is a split on most screen "clips" on the bottom center which for the most part is cosmetic and unrelated to the fact that the screen in tiltable. Like Andy Crowe said above, if you can break off your tiltable screen, you are abusing your camera enough to cause major damage to everything else. It's pretty damn strong.
Mobile01 is a Taiwanese web site using Mandarin. Hope that can be corrected.
If this is an Oly's answer to XE-1, it will definitely fill the niche of M43 to provide all kinds of MILCs. Pity that EVF didn't be combined into this lovely body...
I agree. They should have put more effort on the EVF's design.
@LyonChen1110 Mandarin is a language; you should say "...using traditional Chinese characters."
I do like the classic styling... my first camera was a PEN-FT and 3 lenses. That was just before Olympus introduced the OM/SLR series. They proved it was possible to produce a light weight system capable of quality results. Thing is, no eye level view, no deal. My money is still riding on Sony and the NEX series. I like mounting old glass to the NEX-7. 4/3's just don't cut it for wide-angle shooters like me.
the real price of the camera must include the EVF because no real enthusiast will be satisfied without it. Once you add that you realize you should have just purchased the OM-D.
I'm still on the fence with a MILC purchase - using a DSLR and a G1X - but it's coming. Someone earlier described the desire for a built in EVF as "hype". So be it, but I'm also in the "no built in EVF , no sale club". Add on EVFs that cost maybe 30% of the price of the camera and make it bigger than it would have been with a BIEVF are a poor idea from the outset. They're easily left at home, lost, forgotten or knocked off and good few of them block the flash shoe in use. Let's just consign them to history and build a complete camera in the first place........
Olympus currently has online sale of $99 dollars for VF3 until May 11, and the latest VFs lock onto the camera with lock tab. Popup flash negates tying up the hot shoe. If one is using the tilt screen, one is not likely to be using VF at same time. Having a smaller version EVF built in a body this size may not allow for good quality VF. Olympus wanted to keep body small. I would admit, users may be split on opinions on EVF in body like Panasonic line. Some would like one (at a better price point for camera) and some use LCD more.
Nice retro styling. I'm hoping that Olympus allows for remote control of the camera via wifi and a smartphone app. The Panasonic GF6 has an app for it and it opens up new ways to use your camera. Check out the review at http://www.ephotozine.com/article/panasonic-lumix-gf6-review-21873
I guess not very many people buy COMPACT cameras to put them on a tripod and shoot remotely. 0.1%? Nah, 0.01% at most.
If you put it on a tripod, it might as well be MF. :)
A lot of development effort goes to a feature which is really not important. They'd better make AF-C+TR work better, and CA correction in camera, and smooth digital zoom, if they have too many programmers.
Would it kill Olympus to add a built-in viewfinder ? Uh ? Nice look though.
That is called the OMD EM5.
EP5 is meant to be smaller without viewfinder but you can add to shoe when needed. And love the pop up flash, which is missing from all last years models including EM5. For quick spur of the moment social indoor photos, I prefer to popup not have to attach a flash. Plus Tiltable back screen makes this a winner.
Why should one model have an EVF and one not? Aren't VFs more of a requirement than an option in this class of camera?
Olympus users already have the EPL-5 and E-PM2 if they want small modular systems. But they don't have any alternatives to the pricey OMD. Panasonic users have the GH, G, GX and GF cameras, the former two series' feature built-in EVFs.
One model with, and model without EVF... because they are different models, addressing different customer needs?
No, EVF is not a given. Many "this class cameras" do not have EVF, some even do not offer an optional one (Ricoh GR, Sigma DPx series, Canon EOS M, Nikon Coolpix A). By "this class" I mean similar price bracket and IQ (in some cases even better IQ), not necessary "what you or I like and would buy".
Rumours have it that the back screen will be LCD quality like Nikons screens, not OLED, which will give more accurate colours on screen, better than EPL5 screen, should make this camera even more popular. Hope that is the case and price is about right.
Both the GRD V and Coolpix A have optional OVFs, but because other do not offer VFs, doesn't mean the top-of-the-line PEN shouldn't as well.
One reason many m43 users prefer Panasonic G and GH series cameras in spite of the slightly improved IQ of the three Olympus cameras, is the built in EVF. For me an EVF or OVF just makes the camera more pleasant to use. Others don't mind using the LCD mostly. That's why choice is good.
At least the resolution of the LCD panel has been upgraded which should help matters. The VF-4 looks nice, albiet a bit large.
Let's not forget the very stylish VF-1 optical viewfinder, which can be used on this camera with both the 17mm lenses - rumour has it that one of the kits will include the new 17mm-f/1.8 - and does a perfectly decent job.
Markus, this one is likely to be as pricey as the E-M5, if these shots are marketing material, look at how they are positioning it - Gucci bag, Armani and Bulgari cologne bottles (no idea what brand those shoes are, they are probably Italian like the rest of it and don't look cheap).
However, I agree with you that Olympus should release an entry level model in the OMD range, below the E-M5 or its replacement. A proper G6 competitor.
I especially like that slim lined viewfinder :-) and Fuji X system has stopped to make mountable lenses have they?
I know a bit about this new camera, without running into problems...speed and sharing are 2 words to remember in relation to the new EP5
A tiltable rear panel can be kept flush against the body. Having option to adjust it an ANY angle (within certain range) is definitely better in sunlight then a non adjustable panel. A camera like Fuji with fixed rear panel and fixed viewfinder is simply much less convienient, less flexible.
This could be a Fuji X100s killer. Especially if the 17mm f/.8 lens is bundled with it.
Not only will it be cheaper, but you will have the ability to mount other primes, which is something that the Fuji can't do.
Of course, it may not matter much, since the Fuji X100s has something like a .0001% market share....
Really? Do you compare apples with oranges usually? Yes, X100S is fixed-focal lens APS-C pocketable camera of high quality image and with high class unique hybrid viewfinder. If you want to compare comparable try X-E1 (X-Pro1 is a class higher device). But X-E1 has built-in high-class EVF and APS-C sensor, so it is also higher league.
Nothing is that simple. If you consider image quality (IQ) only, X-E1 is marginally better then Olympus, though you really need to run technical tests to see the difference. X-Pro1 and X-E1 IQ is identical. Usability and ergonomics of X series good, but not perfect: non adjustable EVF and fixed back panel are, in some situations, restrictive.
If the new E-P5 is build at least as well as the older E-P3 it would be internally better build then the X series, and easier to service because of highly modular construction. The Fujifilm models internally are not as nicely designed, not modular and difficult to disassemble and service. So here you are, we have options!
@zinedi: given the two choices, I'd pick the apple. Seriously though, I know someone who replace a X100 with a GX1+20/1.7. This is rumored to be $1000 with the 17/1.8. Add the VF2 and you're pretty much the same price as a X100s. Similar size, price and FL targeted intermediate users.
Dear DPR team
could you plz do a statement concerning "leaks" like this one or the "brace yourselfe - om-d is coming article...
I think you allready have the cam, and in 1 week we will se a very nice hands-on preview.
I like those previews, but i think for your credibility , which is among the highest, it would be good to know how those "leaks" / "promo" goes with ähhh "not revealing orders" from the cam companys... (even if there is no embargo by oympus) just make it clear to us.
It looks like its going to be a great camera, the only thing that stands out for me now is how it is unashamedly being marketed as a fashion accessory as well. In particular in the last pic, along side expensive perfumes and shoes. It speaks volumes for the perception of what cameras are nowadays as well as why explaining the urge some people have of having the latest gear all the time. Fashion.
Sound observation. Indeed, in technological terms there is little to discriminate between cameras of this level these days. They are all accurate, sophisticated machines which produce similar results. What is left for manufacturers to play with are size and style. This trend attests to the coming of age of digital photography. But then cameras have always been fashion statements. They are more than tools to most humanity; they fill a creative, self-expressing function and as such their appearances do matter.
could it be a chinese knock off (e.g the Olympus brand logo is different to previous products)
It is the original logo of the Olympus Pen series, as featured on the Olympus Pen F in which lines this camera is inspired.
Ooooh! DPreview featuring rumours and leaks now! Hmm, interesting.
Of course they've probably had one to play with under an NDA for a while now ;)
Andy: If they had, they wouldn't be able to publish the rumor.
NDAs don't stop DPR from linking to rumours on other sites, they've done it several times before.
I'd be very surprised if an NDA from a large camera company wouldn't cover such situations. If it didn't it would be completely pointless as there are rumor sites for every brand, so they could always disclose whatever they liked with a bit of selective linking. My suspicion is they don't have one yet so haven't yet signed an NDA. Soon, I hope, though this camera isn't exciting me all that much. I'm bored by the Olympus reliance on 'greatest hits' styling. I much prefer Sony's rethinking of how a mirrorless camera should be shaped.
Now it is the camera I wanted to have when I bought the E-P1 (used). It has a tilting screen, an EVF optional and a build in flash. I tried the E-PL3 but it lack to much features, the E-P1 has. For example the second dial, the orientation sensor, the bigger screen.
Now and again the big question (for myself at least) is: does it better with the 12-60 autofocus-wise? I guess not ...

Adaptation to Climate Change
Climate Change Adaptation and Water
Water resources have always varied in time and space. Drainage patterns, flora and fauna have developed accordingly, water resources management likewise. The core business of water resources management is about coping with variability: storing excess water from wet periods to bridge dry spells, protecting low lying areas from floods, balancing withdrawal between upstream and downstream areas and between different uses etc. From the lens of water management climate change therefore does not entail something radically new; it means that the dynamic characteristics of the water cycle have changed. And perhaps even more important, it means that these characteristics no longer are stationary over the life span of current and planned water infrastructure. A changing climate is directly felt in the water sector; consequently, much work on adaptation and building resilience needs to be done through the water sector.
Water is the medium through which climate change expresses itself
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in their Technical Paper VI Climate Change and Water of June 2008 conclude that observational records and climate projections provide abundant evidence that freshwater resources are vulnerable and have the potential to be strongly impacted by climate change, with wide-ranging consequences for human societies and ecosystems.
The expected climate change over the forthcoming century will lead to an intensification of the global hydrological cycle and have a significant impact on regional water resources via changes in precipitation, evaporation and temperature. Water stress is already high in most of the developing world, the present scientific consensus is that those areas of the world that are already experiencing water stresses are also those in which rainfall is likely to be even more variable as the climate changes. Climate change is also likely to lead to increase the magnitude and frequency of precipitation related disasters, such as floods, mudslides, typhoons and cyclones. Flows in rivers are likely to decrease at low flow periods, as a result of increased evaporation, and runoff increase with high rainfall events and waste overflows, both of which will degrade water quality. Increased temperatures and changes in precipitation are projected to accelerate the retreat and loss of glaciers, impacting on the timing of stream flow regimes and thereby downstream agriculture. A warmer climate will also lead to sea-level rise which will have severe impact on coastal zones, estuaries, river deltas and islands. Heavily populated low lying areas, glacial fed river basins and the semi-arid regions of the developing world, which are already poor and face major water resource management and food security problems, are likely to be the most severely impacted by the on-going climate change.
UNDP's Response
Adaptation to the impacts of climate change will be expensive and will require difficult policy shifts. UNDP works with countries to strengthen the governance and improving the management of water accompanied by investment in infrastructure projects, such as wastewater treatment facilities and structures for water storage and flood control.
It is critical climate change in water governance in the context of reducing vulnerability of the poor, to maintain sustainable livelihoods and support sustainable development. UNDP promotes multi-stakeholder dialogue (involving more than just water managers), address issues relating to development, planning and fiscal incentives. UNDPalso supports mechanisms to strengthen the capacity of governments and civil society organizations to assess the impact of climate variability and change on integrated water resources management, and assists the formulation of adaptation strategies to integrate these impacts into poverty reduction strategies, and national and local development planning."
In summary UNDP's role for climate change adaptation in the water sector is to:
- Raise awareness of water and climate issues and integrate climate change consideration into water governance reform, participatory scenario planning and capacity building for water resources management, water supply and sanitation
- Enhance national institutional capacities to build resilience and mainstream climate change adaptation into water resource management and decision making processes
- Assess financing requirements, sources and flows for adaptation response measures
- Support vertically integrated development, coordination and implementation of water related climate change adaptation strategies – transboundary, national, local scales.
- Facilitate a coordinated UN system support at national level
- Develop knowledge products from on the ground lessons learned to help guide decision making and promote replication in other countries.
A constraining factor is the lack of accurate regionally and basin specific climate change data and the considerable uncertainty in the potential range of variation in the predictions, but in many instances we know what we need to do: improve the governance and management of water resources. Strengthening resilience and capacity to manage today's climate is often an appropriate response to future climate change threats. Therefore the focus on adaptation could also become a development opportunity with positive impacts on all the MDGs.

Mei and Dan were married in a meadow overlooking Teton Canyon on October 5, just one year after they got engaged! The bride opted for a red one-shoulder dress and a bouquet of air plants and dried flowers wrapped with Pendleton wool. She even wore some in her chignon bun too. As guests arrived to the ceremony, they were asked to take a bracelet for good fortune. Before the reception at Teton Teepee, the newlyweds took portraits in the snow. How cool, right? Thanks for the fire pit that kept them warm during dinner and dancing. Their favorite foods were served such as pizza and pasta as well as homemade sour patch kids favor bags initialed with "m & d." Not to mention the assortment of mini cakes and pies. "A moment that will forever make me happy is watching my new husband's eyes as he listened to the thoughtful and wonderful toasts made by our friends and family," Mei said. "That's that moment I knew that we were in just the right place, doing just the right thing, with all the right people."

Solid brass does tarnish. Some people like the look of tarnished brass better than polished brass...To each his own. While your dog is wearing a solid brass ID Tag, depending how active he is, he is constantly rubbing it on his coat and other obstacles. This alone will usually keep the ID Tag in a polished brass state. However, if your dog is not wearing his ID Tag for extended periods, it may tend to tarnish from the elements - humidity, etc. depending on wear and how it is stored.
If your dog's ID Tag does happen to develop some tarnish, not to worry...Lightly polishing it with a standard brass polish will bring it back to a like-new state in just a few seconds.
The main difference between brass and stainless steel besides color is hardness. Stainless Steel is exceptionally harder than brass and therefore wears longer. There many factors that determine how fast the material of your dog tag will wear down. Here are a couple examples:
Since brass is softer and does gradually wear down, over extended periods of hard use, the engraved characters on brass ID Tags may become more 'shallow' and appear to fade as opposed to stainless steel which is more resistant to wear.
It's the way each stitch is precisely sewn for optimum durability and beauty. It's the way each thread is trimmed for a clean, finished look. It's the way all leather edges are trimmed, rolled and sealed. It's the way each piece of solid brass hardware is chosen for its utility and great looks. Learn More.

As part of the 14th annual Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, astronomer Alex Filippenko, Ph.D., of UC Berkeley, will discuss Exploding Stars, New Planets, Black Holes and the Crisis at Lick Observatory, an illustrated, non-technical lecture Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
The first remote mountaintop observatory in the world,Lick Observatory has had a remarkable record of discovery spanning 126 years. It continues to be a vibrant research facility, especially for projects that require large numbers of nights on modest-size telescopes. Come hear about the exciting research areas in which Lick remains a world leader, such as the discovery and monitoring of exploding stars (which help us understand our own chemical origins as well as the ultimate fate of the universe); the search for planets orbiting other stars, especially Earth-like planets; and the study of giant black holes in the centers of nearby galaxies.
Located on the summit of 4,200' Mt. Hamilton in the Diablo Range east of San Jose, Calif., Lick is used to develop and test new instruments, such as the "adaptive optics" systems that can give telescopes on Earth clarity that matches or exceeds that of the Hubble Space Telescope. Lick is also a primary base for the University of California's astronomy education and outreach efforts. Yet, despite all this, the UC Office of the President has decided that the university's funding for Lick will be terminated by 2016−2018, given the financial pressures on UC. This crisis has inspired a group of Silicon Valley and Bay Area leaders to begin a serious search for alternative sources of funding to sustain this vital Bay Area institution. Come find out, from the president of the Lick Observatory Council, what Lick is all about and why we need to keep it going!
Dr. Alex Filippenko, the Richard & Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Physical Sciences at UC Berkeley, is a world-renowned expert on some of the most dramatic fields in astronomy, including exploding stars, black holes and cosmology. An elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, he was the only person to have been a member of both teams that revealed that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. This discovery, based in part on work done by him at Lick Observatory and elsewhere, was honored with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics to the teams' leaders. Voted the "Best Professor" on the Berkeley campus a record nine times, he was also named the 2006 Carnegie/CASE National Professor of the Year at the university level. He has produced five astronomy video courses with The Great Courses, coauthored an award-winning astronomy textbook, and appears in about 100 TV documentaries. In 2004, he was awarded the Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program, NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
Past Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures are now available free on YouTube, at the series' own channel at www.youtube.com/user/SVAstronomyLectures/. The site gives instant access to over two dozen past lectures, including Steve Beckwith on the Hubble Telescope's deepest views, Mike Brown on his discovery of worlds beyond Pluto, Natalie Batalha on the Kepler mission planet discoveries, Chris McKay on what it's like on Saturn's moon Titan, Sandra Faber on the origin of galaxies, Alex Filippenko and Roger Blandford on black holes, and Seth Shostak on new approaches to finding extra-terrestrial civilizations.
Parking lots 1, 7 and 8 provide stair and no-stair access to the theatre. Visitors must purchase a parking permit for $3 from dispensers in any student parking lot. Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters; bring exact change. Foothill College is located off I-280 on El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills. For directions and parking information, access www.foothill.edu/news/transportation.php. For a campus map, access www.foothill.edu/news/maps.php.

Mikel Arteta says confidence is high among the Arsenal squad due to their impressive form on the road this season.
The Gunners claimed a draw at champions Manchester City on Sunday, while they have also shared the spoils at Stoke and beaten Liverpool.
Arteta - who captained the side at the Etihad Stadium in the absence of Thomas Vermaelen - believes their good away form bodes well for the campaign ahead.
"It is [a confidence boost] because we have already been to three of the toughest places you can go to - Liverpool, Man City and Stoke - and I think we deserved to win all of them," he said.
"Two of them we drew and one we won but we could have won them all easily. It shows we are doing things in the right way.
"We are training well, the team is organised and ambitious. We want more and more each game."
Arsenal lie three points behind Manchester United and are level on points with City, and Arteta says they feel they are bridging the gap.
"What we are trying to do is get as close as we can and keep building that belief that we are as good as the Manchester clubs," he said.
"If we carry on until March or April when it is really tight and hang in there, I think the spirit we have got in this team can get us something."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, August is, just like the human body, at least 60 percent made of water: vacations to the beach, weekend trips to the lake or pool, big pitchers full of refreshing ice water. August is also National Water Quality Month, as you probably know, and it's when we all have our big get-togethers to celebrate World Water Week (August 26-31!) and Sea Serpent Day (August 7). It may be hot and dry where you are right now, but at least Ken Jennings can make it rain knowledge with his August Debunker column, deflating everything you think you know about H2O.
Water Myth #4: Camels Store Water in Their Humps.
I'm not sure how the legend that the camel's humps are water reservoirs has stuck around for so long. The very first thirsty person to tap a camel's hump in hopes of a cool drink would have been sorely disappointed, since the humps are full not of water but of thick white fat. It's food storage, not a water tank. Theoretically, a camel could metabolize that fat into water, but it turns out the energy required would use up more water than it produced, so that's not what the hump is for.
Camels are remarkable for their ability to go without water. You'd be dangerously dehydrated if you lost 10 percent or so of your body weight, while a camel can survive losing fully a quarter of its water. But most of the adaptations that make this possible have nothing to do with its hump. It sweats less than other animals, for one thing, and long legs keep most of its body away from the radiant heat of the desert sand. It's the only mammal with red blood cells that are oval in shape, which helps its blood flow even when thickened by loss of water. Even its excretory system is astonishingly efficient: camel pee oozes out as thick as syrup (eww) and its poop is so dry that you can take it straight from the camel-butt and light your campfire with it.
The hump's one contribution to camel-cooling is its location: by sitting atop the camel's back, it provides insulation from the scorching desert sun. Finally, an evolutionary advantage for back fat! Camels, you are an inspiration to us all!

|For the first two to three weeks that I have a pup, I find a way to come home at lunch. That or I take some time off. Another option would be to hire a pet sitter to come in mid day. I'd try to stick to that crate/not crate schedule on the days I was home, too. Less confusing for the pup. Don't know if that will work for you or not.
|Thank you so much @maggieroselee! We already have a small and large crate that will work perfect for what you suggested. I really appreciate your advise
You have a dilemma many of us are in but I wouldn't so much have a potty box setup.
I DO like your idea of the larger cage with the pee pads in it so there is easy cleanup. But not really to TEACH the puppy to go in the house. So, at night, I'd see if I could borrow a much smaller crate to keep beside the bed, set the alarm for 2 am to take the puppy out, then sleep the rest of the night. With a smaller crate and NO pee pad then the puppy will start to learn to 'hold it'.
Then during the day when you have to be gone 8 hours or so, I'd use the much larger crate. That way, if there is an accident, the pads will absorb it for cleanup but so would any other towel you'd stick in. There will be room for the puppy to stay dry on the other side of this larger crate.
When you are home there is NO NEED FOR ANY BOX. You don't want to 'teach' him to go in the house anywhere. Instead, when you are home you take him out about every hour or so to do the housebreaking where you WANT him to 'go' outside in the yard. Get those babygates up and close the doors to the rooms you don't want him to go into. And then you need to pay attention because any 'accident's are then YOUR fault and all punishment must be put on YOUR head not the puppy!
Good luck! Large crate with pee pads in part of it for when you have to be gone for a long time. Otherwise the tiny crate to help teach the housebreaking (at night or when you are gone for a few hours) and then NO crate when you are home.

Potty training a puppy
Hello All,
My family and I have decided we will be getting GSD and will be bringing him home in March. We have previously owned one but rescued him later in life, he came trained and house broken, and has since passed away. My husband and I have never potty trained a puppy but understand it will require a lot of work. My husband works a typical 8am-6pm job, Monday-Friday and does not have the option of coming home for lunch. I work 3 days a week, Tuesday-Thursday from 9am-5pm without the option of coming home for lunch. I take our son to daycare before work so we both leave around 7:30am and return home around 6:30pm. I know that this is will be too long for a puppy to be able to hold going to the bathroom so I have been thinking about crating him in a large cageish crate with a separate area for a potty box with puppy pads and another area for him to move around and eat/drink in. I was thinking then at night and for the remained of our waking hours that I am not at work (the remaining 4 days) I could move the potty box out near the kitchen door close to our backyard to have him go there and eventually bring the box outside. I'm hoping that once he can hold it long enough, he will know to go outside and have the box as a just in case so we do not have to crate him. I live in Southern California and 1/4 mile from a lake with lots of hills to hike and am a runner so I do not expect regular exercise to be an issue. I would just prefer to not have to crate him every week while I am at work. Am I on the right track in how to do this? Can anyone give me any pointers?

|The only times I find myself falling these days at least when I'm not pushing myself and riding a bit over my head, is when I'm going too slow or get caught in a mass of people who can't ski or snowboard and get in the way. On a snowboard speed is actually friend in most cases. Just keep practicing and the comfort at speed will come which will make maneuvering your board in tight difficult situations significantly easier. I know you said you're from the east coast, I am as well...where are you riding?

Instead of using torsional flex and making C shaped turns, you are going to use very gentle weight shifts from toe to heel using both feet simultaneously while keeping the board pointed down the run and tracking true without sideslip. It is very important to eliminate unwanted pivot by ensuring that you do not add shoulder or hip rotation and keep your hands down and quiet. I think this video I produced about riding cat tracks should help you far better than any written advice can do. Take a gander and give it a try. Feel free to ask any additional questions....
I try to do that, but often the speed is too slow to get that much turn out, or there are way too many people and too much garbage (ice crystals) all over to get a good back and forth turn. Keep in mind however that I just learned how to toeside ride/turn 1 outting ago :O yea I'm very new.
I ride an edge the best I can, but often the side to side angle of the slope requires me to ride one edge, the longer I ride that edge, the more my board wants to turn from side to side. I have to work my shoulders constantly to stay true to my line of travel...straight! eventually, because the board is always going a bit off true to straight, I end up hitting a raised spot from the snow that sticks up, which kicks my board out from under me in teh opposite direction, thus causing me to catch and edge and fall if I can leap up quick enough and plant the board down straight and true.
The other issue happens when I'm picking up speed. I was yelling things like oh S**T and things like that. I find myself crouching down farther to center my balance, I try to do that side to side quick turns but usually bite it due to panic or , because I jsut can't seem to get the toe to heel transition down for some reason.
I'm working on it. I can tell you that almost everything I do out there was learned through these forums. Little things stick when you need them the most. I still stink really bad, probably 15 falls in my last outting, usually all slow speed or cat trail falls though.

Edge control is a big part of not catching edges on flats, which comes with practice. One thing I would suggest is to try and get as much speed as possible when having to traverse on cat-traks, it will reduce the chances of catching an edge and you can zoom past all the kooks blocking the trail.
true. I have found that if I have enough speed I can usually manipulate my downward edge well enough to flow straight ahead by turning the back foot and just moving my shoulders from square to the direction I want to correct. For awhile at least. When I slow down then I start riding pure edges and just switching. When I go too fast or too slow for either of those ideas, I'm out of ideas and just panic for more ideas until I come up with something or go plop into the snow...then I'm going slow enough again to just ride a pure edge again.
I'll get it I guess, but for me, those green circles and the last few feet to the lift are harder than anything else at the moment

|I always found that to be an interesting situation on the mountain also... you expect the green trails to be the easiest and technically they are because they are always super flat. But because they're the easiest trails you almost always get the most people on them which makes learning more difficult because almost all of those people are also beginners who don't have the skills to avoid other people. Also because there are that many more people the snow gets skied off quicker causing it to be icy and somewhat bumpy by the end of the day. If I were you I'd stick some of the more difficult runs like the blues and the blacks if you can handle them because you'll get less people to distract you and make you uncomfortable.

|The problem with green circle trails is that they tend to be very flat and a lesser degree angle of slope means that your edge is not very far off of the snow, which leads to easier edge catches.
Green circle trails
when you all started snowboarding, did you find the little green circle trails that were narrow and full of granular/ice/lumpy powder mixed with chunks the hardest? I do! I've only been boarding about 8 times now, 6 of those times were at a local hill where it's nothing more than a wide bunny hill. Today I found myself venturing down diamond hills, coated in ice below the man made powder (I live in the east), I was making my heel to nose transitions very well for someone that just learned how to nose ride last week, but my transitions to heel again were fubard. Too stiff I think and getting too far back uphill, so I have to literally throw my weight and almost jump the board to make the turn. All in all, I did pretty well. Yea I would wreck once every other run but hey...I'm ok with that, I just want to keep progressing.
Then I go on those stupid little access trails or green circle trails, and man was I having a rough time. I found I did better kicking my back foot out and transitioning between edges, but some of these trails are pretty sloped and populated. Even if you could make transitions that fast, too many people zooming by in skis. new people, that cant steer and dont know how to yell or say anything before they smash into the back of you! :__ (
Any tips? I had my worst wreck at the bottom of a diamond hill where it meets a narrow green circle to the lift. I caught a back edge and flipped UP into the air and straight down onto my back. Im too tall and heavy to be taking these slow speed wrecks like this.

I've never seen that error before. The most common mistake in this situation is that the user has not executed the chroot properly. That would be the command right before editing lilo where you
bt~#chroot /mnt/backtrack /bin/bash
At that point your prompt should change to bt~\ if you have completed the chroot correctly.

The UN's annual climate meetings wrap up in Doha today, and though the feckless agreements are a "delight to no one," there is one silver lining. Geo-engineering, that grand, scary global experiment of last resort, won "scant enthusiasm" from the vast majority of participants.
"Let's face it, geo-engineering has a lot of unknowns," Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the U.N.'s panel of climate scientists, told Reuters.
Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat, agreed, emphasizing the need to focus on actual greenhouse gas emissions reductions and mitigation strategies first. "Let's first use what we know," said Figueres. "There are so many proven technologies we know exist that are tried and true that have not been used to their maximum potential," she told Reuters. "To begin with, the simplest is energy efficiency."
Advocates of geo-engineering strategies – which range from tinkering with the planet, the oceans or the atmosphere itself to force cooling in an effort to combat climate change – claimed a breakthrough in the international negations arena in the Cancun climate talks back in 2010. "The taboo is broken," Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric scientist who has published on geo-engineering, then told The Associated Press.
That enthusiasm from 2010 seems to be on the wane as opponents of these strategies – including those at the highest levels of leadership in the U.N.'s climate bodies – highlight just how unproven all of these concepts are. Many advocates of real climate change mitigation are also wary of how rich nations could implement these massive, world-changing engineering efforts, the impacts of which are entirely beyond prediction.
"It's absolutely inappropriate for a handful of governments in industrialised countries to make a decision to try geo-engineering without the approval of all the world's support," Pat Mooney, from Canada-headquartered advocacy organisation ETC Group, told Reuters at the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meetings in Japan in October 2010.
This isn't to say that geo-engineering is totally off the table in the international negotiations.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the U.N.'s panel of climate scientists, will be including a detailed section on geo-engineering for the first time in its major "assessment report," the fifth of which is due to be released in late 2013.
It remains to be seen whether that report will close the door on geo-engineering forever, or keep some hope alive for this scary, ill-defined concept that should, at most, be considered an avenue of absolute last resort.
Some proposed geo-engineering projects include:
- Ocean fertilization: Sprinkling iron or other nutrients across large swaths of the oceans to artificially spur growth of phytoplankton, which soak up carbon dioxide. Could also trigger harmful algal blooms, soak up nutrients and kill fish and other animals.
- Fake clouds: Spraying seawater into the atmosphere to increase the reflectivity and condensation of clouds so they bounce more sunlight back into space.
- Sunshades: Floating trillions of tiny solar reflectors in space to cut the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth.
- Artificial volcanoes: Releasing tiny sulphate particles into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight, simulating the effect of a major volcanic eruption.
- Carbon capture and storage: Considered by some to be geo-engineering, which itself is curious since the carbon dioxide sequestered is being released by human activities.
To that last point, writing for OnEarth earlier this week, science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, famous for his novels about the "terraforming" (in essence, a type of geo-engineering) of Mars, notes that by releasing such drastic amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, we are already geo-engineering the planet. In his thoughtful and eloquent essay, Robinson argues that rather than "try any of the more dangerous experiments we now think of when we come across that word," we should think of geo-engineering the planet by changing our behaviors and economies to reverse the ways in which we've already manipulated the planet.

Lead balloons
I expect that promoting energy efficiency and downplaying geoengineering will go down like lead balloons with those who are funding the AGW denial propaganda. Their neoliberal agenda is to extract the maximum profit from fossil fuels for as long as possible, before switching horses to maximising profits from geoengineering to clean up their mess. Sociopaths, the lot of them!
Historically, energy efficiency paradoxically increases energy demand:
IMHO, opponents of geoengineering are unrealistic. As temperatures will grow beyond 4 deg C due to our collective inability to mitigate, and impacts will be threatening societies worldwide, desperate geoengineering attempts are very likely to be made. Better research them now to have some idea of their effectiveness and disavantages than to discard them alltogether.
Especially for the Northern Hemisphere
If methane seepage from tundra and calthrates turns out to be really bad, I don't see any way that piddly cuts in the amount of increase in CO2 emisions can help. I think geoengineering might be able to target the arctic region.
We're not trying to reduce CO2 emmissions.
We're trying to reduce Green House Gases. CO2 is merely the unit of measure. You understand that, right?
I believe that geoengineering is a bad idea. I have enough experience with complex systems to know that it just won't work. And I can't believe that I'm hearing it from the likes of you. Seriously… You deniers have spent 30 years saying its not happening at all.
Now you are trying to redirect attention to using geo-engineering to solve a problem you could never accept is real?
What's Up With That?
Here's a geoengineering solution…. It costs $250 per ton to remove CO2.
Here it is working…
I Don't Understand
"We're trying to reduce Green House Gases. CO2 is merely the unit of measure. You understand that, right?"
If that statement is not a typo, I don't understand it.
Keith MacDonald replied on Permalink
It means that the effect of
It means that the effect of other greenhouse gases, such as methane, is measured relative to that of CO2.
You can read about it in scientific journals..
However conmen don't do that, So they can look here under Global Warming Potential;
The hierarchy of response to the problem
1. - Reduce emissions in every way possible.
1. - At least triple global science investments on alternative energy. That includes battery research. If batteries can gain a 5x improvement, then solar becomes that much efficient.
1. Mitigate, migitage, mitigate. Plant trees, paint roofs white …
2. Geoengineering. You only use this method when it's clear that you really will be using your seat cushion as a flotation device, assuming you survive the crash.
I've been following liquid metal batteries.
Here's the ted talk;
Here's the company producing the batteries;
What's also interesting is that all the money we dump into fossil fuel power plants is of course to supply our peak demand. Batteries would dampen the need to build more power plants.
Batteries can also be brought to bear to deal with unforseen load spikes.
