Mailing lists
There are three Linux/MIPS-oriented mailing lists:
- email@example.com
- This mailing list currently has the most traffic. It is especially of interest as a good number of active developers are subscribed to this list.
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- This is an announcement only mailing list to which the log message and the diffstat output for every GIT commit into linux-mips.org's, GIT repository, is being sent. This allows following the development as it happens.
- email@example.com
- This is an announcement only mailing list. The content is the same as on linux-git except that emails contain the full patch commited into GIT also. If you subscribe to this list be prepared to receive huge emails. Most people will probably prefer reading the HTML archive instead.
- email@example.com
- A mailing list for discussing NUBI, the new MIPS ABI proposed by MIPS Technologies. Despite the domain name of the address, use of NUBI is not intended to be restricted to building Linux kernels and applications.
- email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- These two mailing lists were renamed into email@example.com rsp. email@example.com, see above.
Posting to lists
- Keep in mind that you actually want people read your postings, so invest a few extra minutes to make proper sentence. Remember what your teacher told you at school?
- Read and absorb RFC 1855.
- Don't top quote:
From: Erik Mouw <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2006 15:40:09 +0200 To: "Abu M. Muttalib" <email@example.com> Cc: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (Jes Sorensen) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? A: No. Q: Should I leave quotations after my reply?
- Disable any ridiculous corporate legalese email footers. It's not only annoying but also ridiculous on public mailing lists and of dubious legal value, if any.
If email was a school subject your teachers would have told this.
Subscription to these lists is handled via Ecartis (email@example.com), just send an email with the words subscribe <list-name>. In order to unsubscribe, send unsubscribe linux-mips. Sending the word "help" will reveal further secrets about the advanced use of Ecartis. There's also a web-based interface to Ecartis.
To subscribe to linux-mips mailing list send an email to 'email@example.com' with a subject line that simply says "Subscribe linux-mips" - without the quotes. After sometime check your inbox and you would have got a response that essentially states:
"Subscription confirmation ticket sent to user being subscribed."
Now the ticket would be a separate email and it would have a text like:
# my_email_id@my_isp.com has requested that you be subscribed linux-mips mailing list. # # To subscribe, reply to this message, leaving the message body # intact, or send the following lines in e-mail to # firstname.lastname@example.com:
// job appsub linux-mips my_email_id@my_isp.com \ 4457CD62:2989.1:yekhkzvcf // eoj
In response to this, if you are using email clients like MS Outlook you would need to send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following message body (a simple reply to the original ticket may not work with MS Outlook):
// job appsub linux-mips my_email_id@my_isp.com \ 4457CD62:2989.1:yekhkzvcf // eoj
Then you would get subsribed to the mailing list.
Note linux-mips.org is using the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) TCP extension as described in RFC 3168. The bug is known for years yet still defective firewalls that are dropping TCP SYN packets with ECN bits set are in use. If you can reach linux-mips.org yet don't receive any email from any of the linux-mips.org mailing lists you may have this problem.
Since the majority of subscribers doesn't seem to like HTML email the list is configured to drop HTML email.
There are archives for these lists in UNIX mbox format and a searchable web archive. The web archive is re-indexed every few hours, so usually it's a good idea to try it first when searching for anything that might be archived on one of the lists. Archives are also maintained for a few historic mailing lists.
Privacy: linux-mips.org will not use the subscriber list for any other purpose than operation of the mailing lists and in rare cases for other administrative purposes of linux-mips.org. Postings to the public mailing lists will be archived and possibly mirrored on other sites. If you don't like this don't post.
Verizon users
Since a little while Verizon is blocking email from Britain, France, Germany and Russia. According to the company this is due to spam - even though the USA are clear leader in global spam. Anyway, if you're a Verizon user don't mail us about this problem. It's Verizon's fault and we don't do anything to workaround this problem and frankly we couldn't care less than about an ISP patronizing it's customers this way.

American Baptist Association Votes to Split From the ABC Over Homosexuality
This blog has never specifically dealt with the issue of homosexuality, but in the coming days I hope to post a response to a recent controversy here in Kentucky over the dismissal of a student at a Baptist college because he was open about his sexuality on his MySpace homepage. The actions of the ABCPSW once again highlight the growing rift between Evangelical Christians and mainstream America over this issue. More and more we are seeing religious leaders, politicians, celebrities, newspaper columnists, and even common Americans throw around words like "bigots," "extremists," and "homophobes" to describe those who are trying hard to hold on to the essence of the Biblical message regarding sin and at the same time minister to those caught in a web of immorality. I applaud those, who like these Baptist churches, take a stand for truth in an age of accommodation. J. Greshem Machen wrote in his famous work, Christianity and Liberalism, "In the sphere of religion, as in other spheres, the things about which men are agreed are apt to be the things that are least worth holding; the really important things are the things about which men will fight."
But let us remember that breaking ties with those we love and cherish is never easy and never done without great grief and prayerful yearning for reconciliation. Jesus, after describing in Matthew 18 how to discipline a brother in sin, gives his followers this exhortation to comfort them in the midst of grieving over their experience: "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst" (NASB) What comforting words from our Savior when we find ourselves standing for Truth and opposing sin!

Spacious and Family-Friendly Kitchen Update
A family room addition and kitchen update show that even an old dog's bad habits can have an upside
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 15
Thanks to a mild-mannered Clumber spaniel who had an affinity for getting into the garbage, Dave and Kappy Trott and their children enjoy a stunning new kitchen, casual dining area, and family room in their Birmingham, Michigan, home.
"Winston would chew a bottom cabinet drawer and pull it open so he could get to the garbage and food," explains Dave. "He chewed away a corner of the cabinet, and it looked awful." When the dog died at the ripe old age of 11, the Trotts debated how to deal with the damage. Should they replace the single gnawed cabinet (Dave's idea) or all the cabinets (Kappy's plan)? And if they installed new cabinets, how about getting new countertops and appliances?
For guidance, the Trotts got in touch with Chicago-based kitchen designer Mick De Giulio, who was recommended by both a cooking-enthusiast friend and their interior designer, Craig Steinhaus. "When we chatted with Mick, we talked about replacing the stone and maybe changing the footprint of the island and expanding the kitchen," Dave says. "So what started out as replacing a cabinet drawer turned into a roughly 1,000-square-foot expansion, including a family room, mudroom, and powder room."
The renovation and addition evolved as Kappy and Dave told De Giulio what they didn't like about their present house, particularly its lack of a family gathering area. "We had a very small kitchen table that only sat four, and we have three kids," says Kappy. "We couldn't even fit in the whole family.
"We also wanted more neutral colors. The old kitchen had lime green walls, orangey granite, and white cabinets," Kappy adds. "We were ready to go more neutral, and that definitely fit with Mick's aesthetic." At their meeting with De Giulio in Chicago, the Trotts included architect Victor Saroki and designer Steinhaus—Birmingham, Michigan, professionals working with the Trotts. "It was a really good team, and we all had the same intention: to make this kitchen wing the living area of the house," says De Giulio.
Saroki designed an addition that opens to the kitchen, creating space for a new casual dining area and a family room with a vaulted ceiling and two walls of French doors that usher in light and views.
De Giulio reconfigured the existing kitchen and utility room spaces to gain more square footage for cooking and entertaining. The laundry room was moved to the basement, and the narrow butler's pantry was replaced with a glamorous bar integrated into the kitchen. "It's really an open butler's pantry because it connects with the formal dining room (next to the kitchen) and can be used as a serving area," De Giulio explains. The silver-nickel counter, sink, and upper cabinets are paired with lacquered walnut lower cabinets sporting chunky nickel hardware to give the kitchen the traditional-with-a-twist look the Trotts wanted. "The house is somewhat Colonial and classic," De Giulio says. "The idea was to do something both modern and classic. This is a younger family, and they wanted some edge to the design—some snap without being over the top." A sophisticated color palette (silver, chocolate, and ivory with a hint of green) and a graceful mix of materials and warm wood tones do the trick.
Countertop-to-ceiling windows and transoms on the range wall maximize light. "The transoms above the hood area make the whole wall light up," De Giulio says. "We wanted as much light as possible," Kappy adds. But the best part, says Dave: "Now there is room for everyone to hang out." Even the (new) dog, Annie.

Generously sized Hickory Chair stools at the island provide counter seating for quick meals or conversation with the cooks. Modern and traditional come together in the SieMatic cabinets in a mix of wood finishes and materials.
Range Backsplash
A sliding marble backsplash on the range wall conceals a small television and bottles of oils and spices.
See more on the following slide.
Range Backsplash
"They wanted some edge to the design—some snap, without being over the top," says kitchen designer Mick De Giulio.
Classic Sconces
Polished-nickel sconces with square black shades hang on walls near the range, dressing up the work zone and giving the kitchen a "living room" feel. While the kitchen is grounded in traditional style, the mix of metal finishes—from soft satin to highly polished—provides an updated and modern vibe for the space.
Sconces: De Giulio Kitchen Design, 847/256-8833, degiuliodesign.com
Clever Storage
Countertop appliances and food containers are concealed behind motorized "garage" doors that raise and lower at the flip of a switch. "We probably have 10 feet of storage behind those motorized doors," says designer Mick De Giulio. The kitchen cleans up in minutes—an important feature when the work zone is so visible from the living areas.
Lighted Pot Rack
Function and style combine in the polished- nickel light fixture and a pot rack that displays shiny pots and pans above the island. "I tend to keep the pots I use more often in the drawers by the range," says Kappy. The utilitarian design—heavy-duty hooks and glass light shades—doesn't compete with the area's dressier elements.
Wired for Work
Sockets under kitchen countertops are plentiful but inconspicuous, making it easy for multiple cooks to use appliances without draping electrical cords over traffic and work areas. Installing socket strips, such as this one on the island, is a style plus, too—eliminating the need to clutter pretty tile backsplashes with wall outlets.
Jewel-like Chest
Mick De Giulio designed an elegant chest with apothecary drawers and a mosaic tile top for the end of the island near the dining area. The chest is handcrafted of polished nickel and German silver (a copper-nickel alloy that is not actual silver). Used to store linens and other tableware, the chest makes a stylish transition from work zone to dining area.
Party Place
A nickel-silver countertop and sink, mirrored backsplash, and masculine chunky hardware on the lacquer-finished walnut cabinets lend a sophisticated 1930s air to the area, the designer says. Guests can comfortably gather at the bar in the kitchen rather than crowd into a separate butler's pantry as the previous layout dictated.

What We Lost in This Election
So let's look at what we might have had with President Mitt Romney.
We lost the chance to have universal health care, with the mandate, become a principle that every conservative was duty-bound to defend.
Oh I know. Mitt Romney was going to repeal ObamaCare. And he was. And by "repeal", I mean he would have tinkered with it a bit and turned it into RomneyCare. And for the next four to eight years, it would have been heresy to ever suggest that we opposed universal health care with a mandate. Once Romney did that, it would have turned out that we only opposed universal health care with a mandate when it was badly enacted, without regard for businesses, by a Democrat.
We lost the chance to have a Republican president deliver weapons to Syrian Jihadists. Not to mention apply more sanctions to Iran in order to force it to the negotiating table. We could have been so privileged as to have a Republican president execute these two items of Obama's agenda. Instead we're stuck with a Democrat doing it.
Of course President Mitt Romney would not have done these things out of a deep abiding hatred for America and a sympathy for terrorists. But he would have still done them anyway. He wouldn't have understood what he was doing, but his foreign policy would still have been sixty percent of Obama's foreign policy, without the conscious malice. It would have been an improvement in that regard and only in that regard.
Those of you pro-Israeli types who imagine that a President Romney would have taken the boot off Israel's neck, would have been shocked when a month after taking office, his Secretary of State would have commenced condemning Israeli "settlements" in Jerusalem. Just like it was in the days of the Bush Administration.
But, Romney would have been different, you say. He had a great rapport with Netanyahu. And Bush had a great rapport with Sharon. He had an even better one with Saudi Arabia. The same would have been true of Romney.
Still Romney would have appointed conservatives to the Supreme Court. And there you may even be right. I wouldn't place any bets on it though. Oh we probably wouldn't have gotten any Wise Latinas on his watch, but then again we might have, but I wouldn't count on too many members of the Federalist Society ending up on the bench either.
Romney would at least have been pro-business. So was George W. Bush. And how well did he deal with the problems of government overreach? It's all well and good to be pro-business, but even a former businessman who becomes a president, sees problems from the government's end, not from the standpoint of a businessman.
And, for that matter, if you doubt any of this, do look back on the Bush years and consider that Romney would have been worse in every area than Bush. It's human nature not to believe that, but it's so. And if the election had gone another way, in a few months you would have seen it for yourselves.
What we lost in this election was not a chance for better leadership, but a chance to remove a bad leader. But what we gained was an end to complicity in the actions and policies of this administration. What we gained was a chance to use this defeat to launch a movement that can actually win an election by confronting the issues.
I would have never called for people to stay away during the election. Another four years of Obama would have been too high a price to pay for that. But now that we have that four years, it helps to remember that we never had a shot at making a complete break with the policies of Barack Obama. What we were really trying to do was replace Obama with a man who would carry out many of the same policies, but without a hidden agenda or destructive urges.
What we were trying to do was elect a man who destroy America with the best of intentions, with an open heart and enough practical experience to avoid overreaching and destroying the country too quickly. And that is no bad thing, from one perspective, certainly if we have to choose between high speed destruction and medium speed destruction, it's best to take the foot off the pedal, but it's not a solution of any kind to anything. At most it might have amounted to breathing room that would have corrupted us by making us complicit in those same policies.
So here we are again, right back where we were in 2008. The establishment blew another election. The base is angry and frustrated. The country is divided. And a growing number of people reject the policies of the administration. The establishment rejected the Tea Party as a bunch of crazies, but the Tea Party is more relevant than ever.
A day before the election, I wrote, "Even if we lose this election, it will have been worthwhile to make it as close as possible, to bring out massive rallies of people who are waking up out of the daze and realizing that they don't have to take the occupation and that there are tens of millions of people out there who feel as they do.
"Mitt Romney is a symbol, a convenient shorthand for freedom of expression, enterprise and faith. Whether or not he embodies these values is a secondary concern. As Obama became a vehicle for the left to express its identity, Romney has become a vehicle for traditional Americans to express theirs. If Romney wins, then he will become a politician and if he loses, then the symbolic identity, which transcends him, will go on, because it is an expression, not of one man, but of the values of a country."
Romney ran an effective enough campaign, but it was the campaign that he needed to run, not the one that the country needed. And now that it's over, we are back where we need to be, fighting the good fight. We have the opportunity to organize and radicalize, to bring together growing numbers of people around opposition to everything that the Democratic Party has come to stand for. That is something we could not have done under a President Romney. It is something that we can only do while in the opposition.
And equally importantly, we once again have the opportunity to mobilize and transform the party. That opportunity may be more than the answer to winning the next election. It may be the means of saving this country.

Well said. Romney is the embodiment of the GOP and its values. The majority of us however, don't benefit from low Capital Gains tax rates, we benefit from lower Earned Income rates.
I was appalled to hear him wish to arm the Syrian rebels without asking "who are they, and what are there goals?"
Could he have at least pretended to be angry about what happened in Benghazi? To at least get on national television when he could command an audience and demand answers?
Could he have at least pretended to give a damn what is happening to our sons in Afghanistan?
It seems not.
And so we had a candidate that differed from the incumbent in so few ways that the outcome as you mentioned, would hardly have been noticeable.
Maybe the fact that he cared so little - as evidenced by his failure to criticize - is why so few cared enough to vote.
When the 'Arab Spring' began, I often thought back to Yeats "The Second Coming"
"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold,
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...:
And now,
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity."

Mitt would not have been the end all to be all but he would've provided us with time and a small, short, basement window to crawl out of and regroup. That's was my hope. Now, it will just take a lot longer. I thank the Romney and Ryan families for putting themselves out there.

An accurate portrayal of Romney... he wasn't Mr Right. He was just Mr Right Now. And that would have been OK....not great but in comparison to O it would have been an improvement. However the fact that Romney is less liberal
than O but still liberal or that he doesnt hate America and O does is irrelevant.What was relevant before the election was that he wasn't Obama and didn't actively seek the downfall
of America. Now we have Lucifers proteged 4 more years and he has no reason to hold back..... another term for O is illegal. Doesn't mean he won't break the law and stay in office, just means he can't pretend he believes in the law.
America likely won't survive 4 more years of what the last 4 brought us....amplified by no concerns of accountability at the polls. The agony for formerly free America gets under wayn ernest now. Romney would have tried, ineffectually maybe, to limit the pain and suffering. Obama not only won't try he will gleefully pour on the salt and crank the
wheels on the torture rack because he HATES America and thus Americans.
Hang on to your schnitzel and beer because the hell's a coming.

I think it's possible some of this criticism of Romney is over the top. There is an awful lot of speculation here, the roots of which are embedded in I have no idea WHAT soil.
But look at what he did as governor of Massachusetts. Yes, he signed the healthcare bill sent up to him by a legislature that was over 80% Moonbat Democrat. But still he worked hard to make the bill less disastrous,
not because HE wanted healthcare, but because he recognized that there would be a healthcare bill whether he wanted one or not. All he could do was try to make it better. In his capacity as governeor he wielded a loose veto pen and - unless I'm mistaken - set a record for vetoeing leftist legislation. It is true Romney was left of center. This is different, at least in MY mind - from being a raging, mouth-foaming communist like Barry Bolshivek.
As for the SCOTUS appointments, let me see, now who was it that gave us Sandra Day O'Connor & Anthony Kennedy? Ah, yes... Ronaldus Magnus!
I wanted Romney to do two things - stop the worst & most permanent effects of Obamacare and I wanted him to get our spending under control. He certainly would have done both of those things.
I'm pretty sure Mitt Romney wouldn't have spent four years squirreling away his little commie pals throught the Federal bureacracy, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be meeting Putin in some quiet corner of a pub in Moscow to make a secret deal that would make himself richer and us poorer.
Finally, simply his election would have sparked a market jump, and the unleashing of billions of dollars from businesses who refuse to expand under President "Fidel" Obama. So, excuse me if I refuse to be "cheered up" by this piece.
We got the shaft on Tuesday - BIG TIME! This country may be beyond saving at this point.

I'm definitely up for the "radicalize" part of that equation.
These folks and their President are out for "revenge," are they?
Let's give them what they want.
(The collapse of our currency will write the story. I'll be waiting for you in the streets, libs. We'll see how far your "revenge" goes then.)

I wholeheartedly concur with those sentiments. It just shows to go ya that there are endless twists, turns and bending "Forward!" no matter who you think you're dealing with.
That entire scene before the decision was announced was very, very bizarre. There was zero subtlety from the administration to those people in black robes.

U ppl dont understand what awaits u. The worse for the country it is, the better for Obama it will be. This is politics of destruction - the worse for the Russians it was in 1917-1919, the better it was for the murderous Bolsheviks. U'v just elected your LENIN over yourselves.
Pray that you have another election. Pray that you do.
Obama's plan is simple: he wants to bankrupt America, instigate BIG war in the ME and stay out of it himself, create his private civilian army of Obamonoids, take away your guns and declare anyone who opposes him a fascist. Oh, don't forget, install the Marshal Law when food riots break out and postpone elections - indefinitely.

That's the best post-election piece I've read, and very true. You can take the view that Obama's re-election is a blessing in disguise of sorts, as it will really motivate people now to oppose the left. They say "things will get worse before they get better". We're about to have four more years of getting "worse". The gloves will be off, now, as he has nothing to lose, and no longer needs to pretend.

Melanie Phillips • America goes into the darkness • 7 Nov 2012
But Melanie's insight goes way deeper, in her book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth, and Power
In what we tell ourselves is an age of reason, we are behaving increasingly irrationally. A loss of religious belief has led the West to replace reason and truth with ideology and prejudice. The result has been a kind of mass derangement, as truth and lies, right and wrong, victim and aggressor are all turned upside down.

Are you serious or are you just pontificating?
I love your writing, but it is EASY to stand around the water-cooler BS'ing about REVOLUTION! It is EASY to be an Armchair General, but when it is time to call roll for the actual fighting in the streets who is gonna show up?
Who will be willing to sacrifice their "fortunes and sacred honor" to fight for this nation?
That is what it will take.
How many of your readers even OWN a gun let alone know how to use one? Capable of using it offensively???
I fervently hope and pray there is a way to save this nation without civil war, without bloodshed, but I'm really tired of empty talk of REVOLUTION! and NO ACTION. SSDD...
I will sign up TODAY to a new party or group that will gut the country club carcass of the GOP and turn it into a spec ops version of the Tea Party willing to hang it all on the line to fight for and SAVE this country & our Constitution.
We are SO FAR past the time for talking it is ridiculous. If we are not willing to risk a fist fight with bloody noses all round, we sure the heck ain't ready to foment REVOLUTION!
We MUST DO SOMETHING...

We need to start showing up at our local GOP committee meetings and raising heck, getting involved and rewriting the rules. Or we need to start a new party (I'd like to join the Federalist party, where is it?) and actively recruit like minded folks.

I lost any hope of being able to speak honestly in my community, because which idiot still wants to believe that a wholehearted discussion with a group of con-men will be of any benefit? We exist among jackals, liars, and thieves. The dream of rising among your peers through honest hard work is gone.

The first thing that needs to happen is Boehner, McConnell, and Prebus needed to be told to step down from their leadership positions. If they don't do so voluntarily, they need to be forced. The old ways of Republicans have got to change if we are going to salvage the concept of a two party system.
The country has clearly staked it's claim to begin a Center/Left country. Bush, Romney, McCain were never Conservatives, they were Republicans. Every pundit out there will be claiming "Oh Republicans are so extreme, that's why they lost." Well then go tell that to Scott Brown who was barely a RINO let alone a far right Conservative. A guy who voted only 52% with the Republican Party was ousted by a Left-wing radical. A Woman who claimed to be the "intellectual foundation of the OKKKcupy movement." So much for less Conservative Republicans.
Schools and the media have been over run by Progressives, extreme Progressives, for decades now. The indoctrination of far left ideology starts in Kindergarten and continues through grad school. And then all they have to do is turn on the News, open a News Paper, or log onto any Media website and get a Progressive refresher course.
When you objectively dissect the issues, most people can clearly see that Progressive/Liberalism is nothing short of crazy. But Republicans unfortunately are not all that Conservative. They first of all need to just plain shut up about abortion. How do you preach small government, less government involvement in people's lives, and then take the Republican stance on abortion??? Yeah yeah vulnerable fetus's, I know but, mind your own business or advocate for State not Federal oversight. Abortion is a touchy subject and it distracts from things that will are currently ACTUALLY important.

Universal suffrage is an extremely leveling device. We see the result. As Tocqueville observed, it is not only the most detestable element of democratic government, but even worse, a powerful revolutionary instrument. It makes no sense for an individual to compete in that marketplace with ideas of principled liberty--which are antithetical to the revolution--so even believers don't.
When something is left unspoken it is left undefined, and when it is undefined it is undefended. Then we think we need better politicians when in fact we have seen the limits of what can be had in Reagan, whose true legacy is inarguably exactly what we have now.
What, in fact, can be done? No one knows. But no one can find an answer before they have discovered the right questions. The heirs of liberty suddenly seem to be looking at the right questions.

In a way, a modern state can be compared to a large plane, or to a large ship, with all the applicable related cabin salon sensors controls compass course speed altimeter pressure fuel weight pilots passengers cargo etc associations.
The discussions on important issues in the society come and go, but rarely important issues both presented clearly and remain in public eye for too long - but IMHO it is very important to keep many of them in the public eye at all times, constantly updated, ideally all in one place.
The plane or ship are both apolitical - i.e. it is not really important who's at the helm, from the perspective that controls and dashboard and physics remain the same regardless.
But the way of handling controls and plotting course and well being of passengers and structural integrity and defenses and final destination are very political indeed (prosperity and crash outcomes come to mind).
I wonder if it would be possible to create a web site or portal, where the most important and critical parameters of the modern state-society-country (such as the U.S.A.) would be presented in a clear and simple form, maybe similar to automobile speed and oil gauges, or to dashboard of plane or ship, with automated data feeds from appropriate data sources, flashing ALERT-DANGER if some parameters approach dangerous or critical values etc.
I believe if it is possible for plane, or ship, or power plant (otherwise they would not fly, or sail, or produce energy) - then it must be possible for a modern state too, to keep citizens informed and alert, "on the same page" on most critical and important issues etc.
To illustrate what I mean, there is one very informative and impressive and important national website - US Debt Clock - it presents realtime US debt situation, where for example an average US citizen can learn, that his or her personal debt equals $51,607 - on top of other debts, or if he or she was just born.
Actually, I see here two issues:
1 - building such a universal national dashboard, assuming it is possible (US Debt Clock presents a very good example)
2 - teaching people reason and logic so they can actually use it, rather than staring at it blankly and going back to sleep (passengers), or attempting maneuvers outside sane envelopes, or plotting suicidal course (crew)

Mitt Romney was not my choice, however, I voted for him against Obama.
This country is in serious financial trouble. I believed that Romney would be of immense help in that area. Nothing else at this time really matters. If this country is not solid fiscally, we will have nothing.
Who knows how bad it will get in 4 more years?
And who is the next repub candidate going to be?
And since the dems got away with election fraud
in 2008 and 2012, they will get away with it next time too.
And lastly, can the media be any more corrupt?
The answer to that is "no".
We needed to at least attend to financial matters and Romney would have done that for us.

It is far from certain that there would be a civil war, and as has been said many times before (including on this blog a few days ago under "Troops in the Street"), the current U.S. military is hardly in Obama's camp. When the U.S.S.R fell apart, there was no general civil war.

I've been thinking about it for two days now, and I'm actually glad Obama got re-elected. Let me explain why.
The financial collapse would have happened anyway, even if Romney were elected. Romney's election would have simply slowed it; made it more gradual. That way, it would have come as less of a shock when it happened. But Romney would not have been able to take the measures required to prevent the coming collapse. I doubt anyone can at this point. It's inevitable.
With Obama re-elected, the time to collapse will accelerate, and the crash will be harder. This will enable us to both get it over with, pick up the pieces, and move on more quickly as well as illustrate much more graphically how socialist policies will always eventually end.
Greece is in dire straits with riots at 170% debt to GDP ratio. They have the ability right now to be bailed out by Germany and other EU member nations. The CBO estimates the US debt to GDP ratio will be 180% by 2035. With Obama in office, and depending on what he does in the next four years, I can easily see this hitting its breaking point years earlier than that. Nobody will have the ability to provide bailouts for the United States of America.
For this reason, I will now support Obama's agenda 100%. I will support every tax hike he proposes. I will oppose any spending cut Republicans want. I will support every new spending program and entitlement Obama and the Democrat party wants. I will support every single restriction on our rights. Let's show America what the liberal agenda really means, and how it will really affect them.
I say let's get it over with. Let's stop staring at the horizon, watching it approach, and worrying about how bad it's going to be. Let's run out to meet it on our terms, attack it, and get back to our lives. In the process we can put the lie that is socialism/liberalism in the ground once and for all.

which way the US military would move would depend on the starting point. Would the Civil War have gone differently without the shelling of Fort Sumter?
It's one thing to anticipate that the military might disobey illegal orders. It is another to anticipate that they would support the breakup of the Republic or align themselves with those doing the breaking without extreme provocation.
Some would, but it would come down to the moral high ground.
The key ingredients of such a civil war would be geography and military support.

No. You are projecting and guessing and, as another poster has said, trying to make yourself feel better.
Exactly what sort of perfect candidate are you expecting to arise out of the morass we call humankind? Romney is/was the here-and-now. He fought well and had much to offer. He had to tussle both with Obama and the media, meaning there was no room for error on his part and that the slightest strategic flaw could (and did) take him down. He was a fine candidate on many counts and, sadly, he lost and the country lost along with him.
Across the Conservative punditsphere, the smartest thinkers have decided to go nuts over this loss, primarily because smart men can't tolerate losing. A prime example is brilliant Bill Whittle. His hour and a half YouTube rant mentioned above, in which he suggests we all migrate with him to an alternate reality,is pure mishugas.
How about taking a few weeks and maybe a day at the beach to more fully digest what has happened and to see what the emerging trends are before rushing to extreme formulations and solutions?

I typically agree with your perspective. That said, I do not agree with your assessment of Mr. Romney.
He had the best shot at defeating BHO of those running on the GOP side of the fence. I do agree that most of the GOP representatives are neo-cons and not true conservatives. Sort of Dem-light.
Romney was the best hope we had to piece back part of the Constitution that has been shredded by Obama. And, I think that if he had won, we would see a more conservative bench at SCOTUS, too. Under BHO we will not.
I'm still perplexed with the loss when I list all of Obama's dirty laundry. At least 50% of the voting people apparently like what little he is doing to advance this country.

Adam, when I speak secession, I don't imagine a situation of anarchy with troops in the street. This country has become too big to manage from D.C. -- too many special interest groups, too much concentration of money/power in specific areas of the country. I imagine a peaceful, as you say, "dipolmatic" break-up. It's a pipe dream, but truly no one is Congress/White House has the spine or love of country or wisdom to hold us together. What does California have in common with N.C. as far as demographics and idealogy go? As America declines (which is were we are headed), then at some point a dipolmatic breakup would be feasible, simply b/c nobody really cares anymore.

Howie Carr WRKO Boston, friend of Mitt Romney email:the aftermath of defeat: Howie writes "When I was a kid, I used to watch "McHale's Navy" on TV. Remember Tim Conway -- Ensign Parker? He had a saying that I've never forgotten.
"Cheaters never prosper."
Even at the age of 10 or 11, I didn't buy it. There was altogether too much evidence to the contrary, starting with the president, LBJ. And since then, the evidence that cheaters do prosper has only continued to pile up... and up... and up.
Cheaters never prosper? Tell it to Bill Clinton. And just this year, to the fake Indian, Granny Warren. She never prospered until she started cheating.
But what happened yesterday was so much more than Elizabeth Warren. Barack Obama didn't deserve to be reelected, and please, don't tell me to take solace in the fact that he only got 50 percent of the vote, or that 13 million fewer people voted yesterday than in 2008.
All his life, Mitt Romney has tried to do the right thing, he's given millions to charity, he's been the bishop of his church, he's tithed, he worked for nothing as governor of Massachusetts. He's led an exemplary life, words I don't use very often.
On the other hand you have the community organizer, who's always skated along unchallenged, relying on affirmative action to propel him to the next level. John Sununu Sr. is right about him -- he is lazy. Not to mention ignorant. Nothing was ever expected of him, and he delivered... nothing.
And now he's been reelected, along with his senile vice president, Joe Biden, a plagiarist like Granny Warren.
Then there's Johnny "Pockets" Tierney. I had dinner last week with an old-line Boston pol, a former statewide officeholder, and he told me, "If Tierney can get reelected, it means nothing I know about politics applies anymore."
Well, guess what?
My congressman in Florida, Allen West, is black, a war hero, a retired colonel, smart as hell. After a single term in the House, he was defeated by a punk who at the age of 19 was arrested by the Miami Beach cops for public drunkenness, and then took a few swings at the police. At the same time this Murphy was legless on North Collins Ave, West was preparing his troops to fight in Afghanistan. But George Soros gave Murphy millions upon millions, just to destroy West, to end his political career just as it was beginning.
Now the MSNBC liberals are going to lecture us that Republicans have to be a kinder, gentler party. More handouts, more illegals, fewer cops.... It's not going to work. To paraphrase Harry Truman, "If you give people a choice between a Democrat and a Democrat, they'll pick the Democrat every time."
I fear that what we need to turn this country around is what we're going to get, probably sooner rather than later -- an economic collapse. As Dr. Johnson said, Nothing concentrates one's mind like being hanged in two weeks, or being in a soup line, with hyperinflation and 50 percent unemployment and God only knows what other disasters await us courtesy of Obama and the Democrats.

The Islamic solution to your problem would be a militia. Shia militias are quite effective in protecting Shia interests, helping the families of the persecuted, and creating "state within the state".
You can think of an American Defence League, that will agree to protect some core non-negotiable american values, like free speech, gun ownership, sovereignty from International Courts/UN/EU/ and foreign interference, private property etc. even if the government manages to outlaw some of them them. This means non-violent resistance, refusal to follow such laws, Civil Disobedience Gandhi style, demographic concentration into conservative areas, material help to the families of those persecuted by the state, etc.
Imagine such a group protesting the arrest of the "Innocence of Muslims" filmmaker, calling it a political arrest, helping his family, helping anyone who was fired for insulting Islam, etc.

Romney was another "pro-business," open-border's RINO. He pandered to illegal invading Mexicans. Although he did not grovel at their feet with promises of amnesty like our traitor in chief did, he did not promote the rule of law and scoff at rewarding those who entered this country in violation of our immigration laws, (as well as sovereignty) with amnesty.
I guess such a position is now deemed "extremist" in our political nomenclature. What else would you expect when this country allows millions of third-world, non-White legal and legal "immigrants" to flood this country every year. Eventually, the demographics begin to change. I do not believe this was by accident. To quote an infamous "Reverend" "the chickens are coming home to roost."
Nonetheless, the substantial majority of Americans believe in that position and would have responded favorably. Of course, Romney would have to have the wherewithal to withstand the attacks from the La Razas that he is "xenophobic, mean-spirited, and a nativist."
Perhaps with the reelection of obama, the crash will come sooner rather than later. But it will come. Keep an eye on Greece, because the potential for the same result is possible in this country, especially when other people's money runs out to distribute to the parasite class and illegal aliens.
Perhaps we can have our own Golden Dawn in America....

Fabulous article, but the hope is gone, at least in my case, that you can ever reverse the consequences of this election, which bluntly is America's decline. Someone wrote something to the effect that Obama was America's first third world President. Well, in the case of this election, we need to recognize that we have now become the United States of Multiculturalism. What this means is that what could be called traditional American values that served to integrate and unite our society no longer have any meaning, or value, to the bulk of our potential voters.In multicultural America the applied values are what's-in-it-for-me, and tribal/clan/economic status identifcation and paybacks/payouts. Empowerment,(such as gay marriages), and real or perceived grievances, and "fairness" ("you did not build that", so give me my share) rule the day. The media has dumbed down the public, and only cares about indocrinating them in liberalism and their being the ultimate consumers, for media revenue benefit,of the crap that their advertisers sell, not their education as citizenry or as Americans. Over the next four years Daniel I see you as one of the ancient prophets of Israel railing against the sins of the people and the administration.

Daniel, I think your comments about what Romney, if elected would have done about Israel,as against Obama, needed a bit more consideration. There is a real difference between lip service on the peace process, (Bush, Romney) and a true believer-pusher, with a clear Pro-Palestinian agenda (Obama). Romney did note that the Palestinians were not seeking peace before he had to tone it down, unlike the Rev. Wright, Rashid Khalidi acolyte that currently sits in the White House. And as was noted from Obama's apology speech in Cairo, the Jews, in Obama's estimate were in Israel as a sop to the Holocaust, not because of their deep ties and history in the land, and their right to self-determination. There is no question that it will be very bad for Israel having the same President in office for the next four years that demanded Israel return to "Auschwitz borders" as a pre-condition to peace negotiations. One hopes that Obama apologists Ed Koch and Alan Dershowitz will be on speed dial to their great leader when the next anti-Israel, Iranian favorable, major pro-Palestinian demand shoe drops.

My dear friends, please keep in mind that "They say that war is all glory, but it is all hell." The high spirits at the outset of the Civil War or WWI soon dissipated, and the horror stretches out to this day. Think very carefully before advocating collapse, chaos or anarchy. Americans have no idea what that brings in its wake. But I understand that it may be a fate that none of us can avoid.

Ugh. Mourdock and Akin.... A picture of two people with less sense than Gd gave a goose. They both took the money, sweat and toil of everyone who contributed to their campaigns and just threw it to the wolves because they just couldn't abide.
The sheer amount of monetary support means they both had more than adequate handlers to do the messaging and keep them out of those types of scenarios. But no. They are feeling so lofty and untouchable that they had to open their mouths.
I'm still smoked by the sheer gall and how it comes to these types of Walking Disasters get to where they are. That's the kind of feckless engineering that needs to stop.

Dear Dave and fellow readers,
What we really lost this election:
Greetings from the Peoples Democratic Republic of California. The voters of the US in general, and California specifically voted for was bigger government, more spending, more taxes on the productive class, more government intrusion into our lives, and loss of individual freedoms. We are now going to become collectivist style societies. Cradle to grave government support and oversight. This means guaranteed poverty, guaranteed dependence, and political correctness. We will now become a sanctuary, with no such thing as an illegal. We will all be the same. Of course, the ruling elites will be more equal, as will be their pet supporters. We will now become a one party system. Of course, this will not happen overnight, but it will probably happen sooner than expected. Expect everything to have a monitoring and regulating body. We cannot have hate speech that offends certain groups (Jews and Christians excepted). We cannot have terror (unless you belong to the chosen group, but then that is not terror). I would like to go on, but it is too depressing. I really don't care to be so gloom and doom, but honestly, look at who the electorate put into office. Unless you have lots of bucks, you can't just walk into places like Singapore or Switzerland. But since neither of them have nuclear capabilities, they will cave to the pressures put on them to expel dissidents for re-education. Is this how people felt after Adolf took over, or when the Soviets "liberated" places like Latvia or Hungary?

I watched a few minutes of the Dennis Miller segment on O'Reilly via an internet feed last night. Miller's comments were depressed and resigned, that is, he accepted that this is the new US - 'hands up and not hands down' - he didn't like it, he hadn't known it until this election (which I guess means he sees it as confirmation of what might have been a fluke in 2008). He said that he was not a cheater, would accept the new reality and pay his taxes. After all, he has 'a great life.'
Miller may not be as intellectual as many of those posting here, but his instincts usually seem very true. I think he is predicting how most conservatives will react. After all, the majority of conservatives are relatively well-off. They love the country and were raised with imbued concepts of civics and civility. We saw this also in Romney's campaign, and I think we also saw an attitude which said 'we would like to win but it's not the end of the world if we don't.' I really don't think you saw that attitude from Ronald Reagan in 1980, and I'm not one that thinks that Reagan was perfect, though he was the first antidote to the sort of depressed, socialized America that Carter also symbolized. Now I think we can see Reagan not as the harbinger of a free, capitalistic and conservative American future but as the last President to fend off, for a while, the impending reality that Miller described well.
I don't see a civil war coming, though there will be plenty of verbal violence and increasing of race tensions. Also, black on white violence is sure to increase.
I don't see secession, except symbolic. Though if Texas would secede and attempt to return to the state of affairs in 1845, before succumbing to American annexation, that would be, well, cool.
I see a long siege, a slow decline, increasing marginalization of whites and Jews, gradual spurts of Aliyah from the latter, and bigger and bigger numbers of people seeking new lives in places like Australia and New Zealand.

This morning I enjoyed reading the article "US Elections: You Gotta Accentuate the Positive" by Go'el (Glenn) Jasper on Israel National News:
... when the U.S. election started heating up, I asked myself, what will I do if Obama wins a second term? "Nothing good could come from that," I thought. I mean, sure, there are the quasi-jokes going around pro-Aliyah circles today that "maybe now American Jews will see the light and make Aliyah." And there are those who are saying that, "well, this is what G-d wanted to happen, so it happened, and is therefore – by definition – good." And that's true, but that's a tough pill to swallow for a lot of folks who live day-to-day here on Earth, rather than up in the clouds.
Those two "positives" are simply not enough for most people. Most people want to see some REAL positives – rational positives that will impact them NOW in a happy way. Most people just want to feel good. In fact, that's probably why Obama was reelected. When he speaks, he makes people feel good. Well, not "good," rather "gooooooood." That's the most special thing about this newly reelected U.S. president. He has an undeniable way of speaking in such a way that people just feel "gooooooood."
But we Jews know that life is not about feeling "gooooooood." It's about being good. It's about doing good. It's about the Torah instructing us to behave a certain way, and following through on those instructions. In short, it's about the "let there be light" kind of good, not the shallow "finger-lickin' good" of KFC or the "good to the last drop" of Maxwell House coffee.
Incidentally, speaking of America, "being good" and "doing good" sounds vaguely familiar.

Averagemelon said... I can only find like-minded people and huddle against the coming storm. I have no idea who I would "fight" to get the freedoms of the Constitution returned in full when my fellow countryman really doesn't seem to want them anymore.
Well, take heart. There's things the average melon on the street can do.
A few things that I've been doing for at least since 2007 is stop contributing to nationwide nonprofits. They are so multi-tiered it's disgusting. They pay bonuses to regional managers based upon fundraising. They share donations with other left-wing non-profits without your consent. Those other non-profits may be abortion advocates. Those that you withhold donations from may not feel it right away or they may never feel the loss but it doesn't matter. Your money can be used to support local businesses that support you.
As every non profit charity I know of is left wing, I'm very careful about how I donate my time and resources, locally. It really depends and I absolutely have to feel a sense of good amongst those that I would be spending time with. I have personally experienced outright stupid behavior on the part of leadership in two local nonprofits that donors would be incensed about if they knew. Just the utter gall of those perpetually angry psych graduates and their contempt behind closed doors of donors and supposed beneficiaries is very sad, to me.
Just fine-tune your awareness of what surrounds you, don't broadcast your position, watch your ratio of spending to expenditures, believe in self-reliance and personal responsibility, smile, stay respectful, mind the law, prepare a "go-bag" to sustain yourself in any emergency (this is something that should lose the stigma of "crazy"). If you are active in local disaster relief (and, I'm not talking about any nationwide nonprofit disaster relief organizations. Most cities/counties look for civilian volunteers as part of their team), then you are familiar with this.
Culture change requires consistent support no matter how you choose to participate.

Some Dude, just repeated my blog from another thread:
It won't help to move away from the US. The same ideologues who have taken over America are in the process of taking over other countries. They will follow you wherever you go in just a few short years.
The Left movement is international. They cannot be pushed back by isolated resistance in individual countries and regions. They have to be fought by a united front.
Look at the support that Obama enjoys outside the US. He experiences support from the right of politics from foreign countries almost as much as from the left. This is because the media in those countries portray the American conservatives as being particularly extreme, uneducated and incompetent, even compared with their domestic right. Leaders like Cameron, in the UK, are flattered to count Obama as a friend, and to be attributed "moderate" status compared to their US counterparts.
No, any successful rejuvenated movement from the right must be internationally funded and co-ordinated. Otherwise it will be isolated and defeated.

Life is not about "feeling good". It is about "being good" and "doing good". ~Go'el (Glenn) Jasper
Good luck explaining that to all sorts of moochers leeches parasites perverts etc. They came this far just being anti-normal and pro-abnormal. Having redefined on the way many word meanings and the normality itself. Having (almost) redefined their host country to suit their views and needs. The real question is, why normal people tend to surrender peacefully, as if cause-effect reasoning is alien to them, or as if they do not value their own life.

Decker: The souls you describe exude so much character, which helps many of them face life head-on and power through challenges. The United States is facing myriad existential crises today, from debilitating debt and moral decadence to external threats such as Islam and a rising China. Do you worry that we no longer have the individual and collective character to turn the country around?
Savage: No, I don't worry at all. The very same situation was mimicked in the 1930s. As Hitler was rearming and going to war with the world -- to subjugate the world to Nazism -- he said that the Americans could never fight the German youth; never fight the German soldier. He said the Americans were too busy eating hot dogs, going to dances and watching ball games. Does that sound familiar? Well, guess what happened. As Patton said to his men -- and I don't mean patent leather of the type of generals we have today -- but Gen. George S. Patton of World War II fame, he gave a famous speech in which he said, "Boys, many of you fear that you won't know what to do when you are in combat. Well, let me tell you something. When you see your friend's guts spilling out of his body, you'll know what to do."

We're talking here about the presidential election, not the Senatorial candidates who made indefensible statements about abortion. So a "True Conservative" is incapable of making stupid statements, you say? Wow, you certainly do have your standards. Didn't like Romney's record, you say? Didn't buy his broad and uplifting Conservative message during the campaign? Fine. Sit home and help Obama get elected like apparently so many others did. Gingrich? Santorum? Bachmann? Paul? Who? Any one of them would have been media mincemeat for a gullible and dependent electorate.

I do not believe the Federal government can be fixed from within. Romney was a best case scenario. Even if, by some miracle, a true conservative coalition could be established in every branch of the Federal government we would still live at the mercy of said governments benevolence. The fix must be external.
It is long past time for the states, via article V of the constitution, to assert themselves and check the power of the Federal government.
The 'horizontal' balance of power within the Federal government is not adequate to protect us from said government. An additional 'vertical' balance of power between Federal and state governments is needed.
A coalition of states is the American Revolutionary model, is provided for in the constitution, and is long overdue.

Part 1:
When societal matter around begins to crumble, I guess good particle physicists might be willing to share some ideas. Natural Law, truth and falsehood, good and evil, right and wrong, meaningful and meaningless, cause-effect reasoning, logic and all that. I suspect there may be more to it than meets the eye, or other sensors for that matter.
For people and country, certain things are inherently good, even if they "feel bad" -- independence, self-reliance, freedom, liberty, president elect, decency, seeking truth, family, pro-life, heterosexuality as norm, hard work, frugality, humility, group coherence, fiscal sanity, charity, love of country, protected borders, rule of law, love and appreciation of police and military, mass sanity.
For people and country, certain things are inherently bad, even if they "feel good" -- dependence on state, oppression, dictatorship, propaganda, dear leader, conformity, indecency, anti-family, abortions, forced LGBT as norm, welfare, hatred of country, group divisions, fiscal insanity, shared prosperity, open borders, corruption, sharia, rule of mob, hatred of police and military, mass derangement.
Just a quick look at both keyword sequences provides a clue where the title of Melanie Phillips's book "The World Turned Upside Down" came from.
One can't help but notice, that most discussions revolve around issues (WHAT, HOW), without going deeper (WHY) sufficiently and consistently. Not to mention that all participants at some point obtained their knowledge views ideas from somewhere (family education culture media entertainment workplace friends neighbors books). And they keep obtaining them, while the quality of the most sources keeps deteriorating, changing from badly polluted and poisoned to even worse polluted and poisoned.
Good news: real power comes from sane normal civilized people. They make the country tick, and they can do whatever is required, ideally and preferably without resorting to weapons.
Bad news: sane normal civilized people are far too polite delicate gentle withdrawn uninvolved peaceful non-militant non-aggressive marginalized disorganized frightened to enforce sanity and normality (assuming sanity and normality can be enforced), or in some ways separating from the insane deranged part of the country before it is too late.

Part 2:
Speaking of society, it is hardly a stretch to assume that range and derangement, normal and abnormal etc can only be properly derived extracted understood in light of the Natural Law. In recent history, Founders were uniquely qualified particle physicists of their time (and well beyond). It is about time sane people heard from equally or comparably qualified folks of present time. They must be around somewhere.
Matthew May • Peace and Quiet for President • Nov 8, 2010
This past September [2010], largely ignored amid the tumult of the election season [2010], Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana quietly delivered an address at Hillsdale College. This address was not shown live on the cable nets, although it should have been. It was not reprinted in every newspaper throughout the country, although it should have been. Nor will it be sent to every student in America, although it should be.
Mike Pence: ...America is not a dog, and does not require a "because-I-said-so" jurisprudence; or legislators who knit laws of such insulting complexity that they are heavier than chains; or a president who acts like, speaks like, and is received as a king. The president is not our teacher, our tutor, our guide or ruler. He does not command us; we command him. We serve neither him nor his vision. It is not his job or his prerogative to redefine custom, law, and beliefs; to appropriate industries; to seize the country, as it were, by the shoulders or by the throat so as to impose by force of theatrical charisma his justice upon 300 million others. It is neither his job nor his prerogative to shift the power of decision away from them, and to him and the acolytes of his choosing.

Part 3:
Mike Pence: ...Many great generations are gone, but by the character and memory of their existence they forbid us to despair of the republic. I see them crossing the prairies in the sun and wind. I see their faces looking out from steel mills and coal mines, and immigrant ships crawling into the harbors at dawn. I see them at war, at work and at peace. I see them, long departed, looking into the camera, with hopeful and sad eyes. And I see them embracing their children, who became us. They are our family and our blood, and we cannot desert them. In spirit, all of them come down to all of us, in a connection that, out of love, we cannot betray.
They are silent now and forever, but from the eternal silence of every patriot grave there is yet an echo that says, "It is not too late; keep faith with us, keep faith with God, and do not, do not ever despair of the republic."

N.Z. says world must move beyond 'outdated' Kyoto climate pact
New Zealand's Tim Groser listens to a speaker during the World Trade Organization ministerial meeting in New Delhi, India, September 2009. (AP / Gurinder Osan)
DOHA, Qatar -- Highlighting a rift between the rich countries and emerging economies like China, New Zealand's climate minister staunchly defended his government's decision to drop out of the emissions pact for developed nations, saying it's an outdated and insufficient response to global warming.
Other key issues at the conference, now starting its second week, include how to help emerging nations switch to climate-friendly energy sources and charting the course for a new treaty that would replace the Kyoto Protocol, which covers only developed countries.
New Zealand announced before the U.N.'s climate talks started here last week that it would not take part in the second phase of the Kyoto treaty. That angered climate activists and stunned small neighbouring island nations, who fear they could be submerged by rising sea levels spurred by global warming.
Climate Minister Tim Groser told The Associated Press on Sunday that New Zealand is "ahead of the curve" by shifting its attention from the 1997 Kyoto deal to a new global climate pact that would also include developing nations.
The U.S. never ratified Kyoto, which expires this year, partly because it did not impose limits on China and other emerging economies.
Australia and European countries want to extend the pact at the current conference in Doha until a wider treaty comes into force. That is not scheduled to happen until 2020.
Groser didn't see a point in that, because those countries together represent less than 15 per cent of global emissions.
"You cannot seriously argue you are dealing with climate change unless you start to tackle the 85 per cent of emissions that are outside (Kyoto)," Groser said. "We're looking beyond Kyoto now to where we think the real game is."
A majority of emissions of heat-trapping gases that most climate scientists blame for rising global temperatures currently come from developing countries, and China is now the world's top emitter. Beijing argues it must be allowed to increase its emissions as it economy expands, lifting millions of people out of poverty.
It also insists that Western nations bear a historical responsibility for climate change, since their fossil fuel factories spewed emissions into the atmosphere long before China started industrializing.
China therefore wants to retain the sharp division between rich and poor countries that has guided the slow-moving climate talks since they started two decades ago. Rich countries want to get rid of that distinction, which they say doesn't reflect the world today.
New Zealand is on course to meet its Kyoto targets from the first commitment period, but climate activists at home and abroad say its decision to opt out of the extension has tarnished its reputation as a green leader.
"New Zealand's position is contributing to a political stalemate that is distracting from the real issues of these talks," said Simon Tapp from the New Zealand Youth Delegation.
Instead of binding Kyoto targets, New Zealand has offered a voluntary pledge of cutting emissions by between 10 per cent and 20 per cent by 2020, compared to 1990 levels.
Groser said New Zealand wouldn't firm up its pledge until after the Doha talks. The country wants to know if it can continue using Kyoto's trading mechanism for emissions credits, which some countries say should be available only to those that set emissions targets.
"I have advised my Cabinet, literally I've said to them, 'assume minimum rationally will prevail,"' Groser said. "Then I will come back after this meeting here and make a recommendation as to what unilateral figure we can do."
Negotiators in Doha are also locked in disputes over how to help poor countries switch to renewable energy and adapt to shifts in climate that may damage health, agriculture and economies in general.
China and other developing countries demand that rich countries present a "road map" describing how they will scale up climate financing to $100 billion annually by 2020, a pledge they made at a climate summit in Copenhagen three years ago.
With budgets under pressure from the world financial crisis, rich countries are unwilling to put money on the table in Doha, but they say such financing will become available eventually. They note that they have delivered the $30 billion promised as "fast-start financing" in Copenhagen, though some aid groups say much of it came from loans or previously pledged foreign aid simply relabeled as climate money.
As many of these issues are linked to each other, failure to agree on one could stall progress on others, meaning the Doha talks could end without agreement on anything.
The core climate problem is also receiving attention, and the conclusion is not positive.
A host of reports before and during the talks have underlined that the gap between what science indicates is needed to address climate change and what governments are actually doing is growing wider. One report, by the United Nations Environment Program, showed greenhouse emissions have risen 20 per cent since 2000.
"We begin the final week of negotiations in Doha with the sober recognition that time is running out to prevent the loss of entire nations and other calamities in our membership and around the world," a group of small island nations said in a joint statement Sunday.

Glam Media sent me an eco-friendly Bliss bag with some neat eco-friendly products, including some great items from the Neutrogena Naturals line of skin care products. Since I am a fan of natural products and tend to recommend them when possible, I was looking forward to trying out the products. Here is a look at the items that were in my bag:
The bag included a Babble water bottle with a built in filter that I found rather interesting, a rather neat Yoga Fan full of poses and instructions, and some other nice items such as a Crate and Barrel bamboo tool set, a loofa sponge from The Loofa Farm, and some tasty Simple Squares snacks. But the Neutrogena items in the bag really stood out.
I usually like Neutrogena products, but had not yet tried anything from the Neutrogena Natural line. I gave all the products a try a will cover some here and some over on Girl Gloss.
Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing+Makeup Remover: This pump formula makeup remover features Peruvian Tara Seed and, like all products in the line, is free of parabens and harsh chemicals. The bottle itself is also made of 50% recycled material. The cleanser removes makeup well and is lightly moisturizing, so you won't feel dried out after using it. It worked quite well for me. I highly approve!
Neutrogena Naturals Nourishing Moisturizer: This light moisturizer is 97% naturally derived. It provides a good amount of moisture without feeling greasy and is perfect for day use. I liked the overall feel of the product, and then there was this bonus: it smells great! It is actually one the best smelling items I have used in awhile. We are not talking anything heavy here-just a fresh light scent that I happened to really like.
Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream: For those with dry skin or who want a heavier night cream, this is an excellent choice. The night cream have a nice luxurious feel to it. It absorbs well and left my skin feeling smooth. I actually really like using this around my eye area best. Like the moisturizer, it also has a very nice light scent that I particularly like.
Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm: Next to the moisturizer, this simple little balm is probably my favorite item in the collection. It is a nicely buttery balm that packs a moisture punch with a few of my favorite lip balm ingredients, such as Olive Oil and both Shea and Cocoa butters. This balm is great for protection, but it would also be an excellent healing balm. I love it!
Here is a bit closer look at the Neutrogena products:
Overall, I give the line a big thumbs up. The items are a great way to add natural products to your routine. They are easy to find at any drugstore or major retailer, and they are quite affordable.
NEUTROGENA® Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer is a daily lotion that replenishes essential skin nutrients while providing continuous moisture throughout the day for healthier, younger-looking skin. It contains no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates.
NEUTROGENA® Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream replenishes essential skin nutrients and is fortified with vitamins B, C, E and anti-oxidant omega bionutrients. This nourishing cream is clinically proven to boost skin's defense against dullness and roughness, leaving it naturally radiant, healthier and younger looking today and in the future. It contains no harsh chemical sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates.
