To coincide with the United Nations global warming summit in Doha, Qatar, the usual flurry of hysterical press releases repackaged as "news" and a barrage of dubious "studies" from tax-funded climate alarmists have made headlines in the establishment media — all of it, critics say, aimed at creating at least the perception of support for UN goals. Notably absent from the shrill warnings of gloom and doom about human carbon emissions, however, is one important fact: There has been no global warming, man-made or otherwise, for some 16 years, according to data compiled by the alarmists themselves.
Despite the embarrassing lack of any increase in planetary temperatures, climate-change alarmists and representatives from almost 200 governments and dictatorships are still assembled at the UN Conference of the Parties (COP18). They claim their mission is to save the planet from warming purportedly caused, in part at least, by human emissions of carbon dioxide — a byproduct of human breathing, an essential molecule to all plant life, and a fraction of one percent of all the greenhouse gases naturally present in the atmosphere.
In reality, however, according to experts and analysts, the real goals of the global summit bear little resemblance to the increasingly wild claims made by the UN and its allies. Evidence of that can be found in the global organization's own documents and, more recently, in the fact that there has been no global warming even as the hysteria peddlers continue to demand a planetary carbon-control regime to save humanity from a non-problem. The climate models were clearly wrong, yet the increasingly irrelevant climate alarmism marches on.
Based on now-discredited computer models, the UN's tax-funded climate "scientists" have been claiming almost since the end of the decades-old "global cooling" hoax that the Earth should have been warming dramatically. It has not. Instead, according to global temperature data compiled by the U.K. Met Office and the disgraced Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the center of the "ClimateGate" scandal, there has actually been no observable warming for over a decade and a half. While ignored at the COP18, outside of the Doha alarmists' bubble, that fact has not gone unnoticed.
"The wearisomely elaborate choreography of these yearly galah sessions has followed its usual course this time, with a spate of suspiciously timed reports in the once-mainstream media solemnly recording that 'Scientists Say' their predictions of doom are worse than ever," observed Lord Christopher Monckton, a former advisor to then-U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a longtime foe of bogus UN "climate science" and the organization's increasingly brazen power grabs. "The smarter minds at the conference (all two of us) are beginning to ask what it was that the much-trumpeted 'consensus' got wrong."
Meanwhile, recent efforts to exploit fear by climate alarmists and UN bureaucrats seeking to blame "global warming" for weather events like Hurricane Sandy, for example, are absurd on their face, according to Lord Monckton and a wide array of experts. In reality, these sorts of bogus claims are nothing more than fear mongering aimed at drumming up hysteria and duping the public to facilitate a global agreement that would benefit the UN, power-hungry governments, dictatorships, and elements of "Big Business" — all at the expense of humanity, science, prosperity, liberty, national sovereignty, and real environmental problems.
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports are the 'scientific' source of claims for more severe and extreme weather," observed Dr. Tim Ball, a climate scientist who has been one of the more prominent experts to challenge the UN's dubious theories aside from former IPCC experts themselves. "In fact the incidence and severity of extreme weather — hurricanes, wind storms, tornadoes, heat waves, drought, floods, ice storms, etc. — have not generally increased recently and are well within long term natural variability."
Despite those facts, top UN officials continue to make blatantly false claims about climate, warning that if governments refuse to promptly force their populations to submit to the outlandish demands, certain disaster awaits. The tone is only getting more and more hysterical, too. Last month, before the COP18 began in Doha, even UN boss Ban Ki-moon himself made those same absurd allegations, damaging his remaining credibility further; possibly beyond repair.
"Extreme weather due to climate change is the new normal … Our challenge remains, clear and urgent: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to strengthen adaptation to … even larger climate shocks … and to reach a legally binding climate agreement by 2015," Ban told the UN General Assembly, mostly a gathering of oppressive dictatorships responsible for keeping the victims of their tyranny in dire poverty. "This should be one of the main lessons of Hurricane Sandy."
Even with the taxpayer-funded gravy train available to "scientists" and "activists" who desperately cling to UN theories in the face of all evidence, though, real experts are speaking out. Following the UN secretary general's comments bizarrely linking Hurricane Sandy to human-caused CO2 emissions, a coalition of more than 125 scientists and experts in the field published an open letter in the Financial Post urging him to come back to reality.
"Global warming that has not occurred cannot have caused the extreme weather of the past few years," the concerned scientists explained, noting that aside from the now-obvious lack of warming over 16 years, the incidence and severity of extreme weather has not increased either. "Whether, when and how atmospheric warming will resume is unknown. The science is unclear. Some scientists point out that near-term natural cooling, linked to variations in solar output, is also a distinct possibility."
On top of that, the scientists explained to the apparently confused UN chief, the organization's theories themselves are not supported by science. "Climate changes naturally all the time, sometimes dramatically," they added in the letter. "The hypothesis that our emissions of CO2 have caused, or will cause, dangerous warming is not supported by the evidence … There is no sound reason for the costly, restrictive public policy decisions proposed at the U.N. climate conference in Qatar. Rigorous analysis of unbiased observational data does not support the projections of future global warming predicted by computer models now proven to exaggerate warming and its effects."
If the UN and its mostly dictatorial member regimes are not truly interested in science or saving humanity from the supposed evils of non-existent "global warming," though, what is it that they want? Why has the U.S. government squandered nearly $150 billion — possibly more — on a bogus issue? According to experts and analysts who have monitored the UN and its scheming for decades, the organization's goals are the same as they always have been.
Among the prime objective, which is advanced regardless of the half-baked justifications offered to support it, is to further empower the scandal-plagued global body while extracting ever larger sums of money from taxpayers for the UN and oppressive third world regimes. Western governments, meanwhile, hope to increase their control over economic activity while boosting revenues and enriching climate-change profiteers like Al Gore, "carbon market" players, and other special interests with huge financial stakes in keeping the hysteria alive.
Analysts are divided on what the UN may be able to achieve at its latest climate summit, one of the smallest yet, as the annual gatherings increasingly become the objects or scorn and ridicule worldwide. Certain regimes seeking handouts, self-styled authorities like the European Union, investors in phony "carbon markets," and other players, for instance, are hoping to extend the controversial 1997 emissions-limiting Kyoto Protocol, which expires this year and does not include the U.S. government. Another aim that may or may not come to fruition is moving forward with a planetary mechanism for wealth redistribution known as the "Green Climate Fund."
"It is difficult to predict the outcome from Doha," observed the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) in its latest update on the issues. "But if the past is any guide, the conference will end with days of 'Herculean' negotiations over a nebulous agreement to continue such conferences for the indefinite future. No reason to stop the circus."
Some analysts said this year that with the "climate science" and global economy both imploding while the public slowly wakes up to the UN's expensive global-warming scheme, Doha might well be the last international "climate" summit. With hundreds of billions or even trillions of taxpayer dollars at stake, though, more than a few experts believe the global body and its member governments will try to keep what critics refer to as the "climate charade" going for as long as possible. However, with no warming for 16 years, that task is becoming increasingly difficult and will only get tougher in the years ahead.

Body Talk LLC, Laurel, MD, and Kassama's Okinawan Karate Studio, Baltimore, have been hit with administrative charges for not registering with the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced.
The administrative charges seek a cease and desist order prohibiting the two health clubs from selling any health club services in Maryland until they comply with the requirements of the Consumer Protection Act and Health Club law.
The law requires health clubs in Maryland to register with the office. It also requires health clubs, weight-loss centers and self-defense schools to post a bond or letter of credit to insure consumers' investments if the facilities collect more than three months' payment in advance or charge an initiation fee of more than $200.
According to the law, health club contracts also must include a "notice of consumer rights" that discloses the club's registration number, whether or not it has posted a bond that would protect consumers' advance payments if the club were to go out of business. The contracts also must include consumers' cancellation rights.
The Division's Health Club Registration Unit alleges that Body Talk, which offers dance-based workouts, and its owner, Arnell Tunstall-Richardson, as well as Kassama's Okinawan Karate Studio and its owner, Ontagu-Ibrahima Kassama, failed to register despite multiple warnings that they were required to do so.
The division will ask that the club owners be ordered to pay civil penalties and costs. Hearings are scheduled for Feb. 22 at the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.
The number for Body Talk has been disconnected, so Tunstall-Richardson could not be contacted for comment. Kassama had not yet responded to a call to his facility for comment.

Fresh lettuce from the garden.
I've harvested all the lettuce I could, now I must plant more. I need a long flat trough- type vessel to maximize production. I love being able to eat my fresh lettuce. It tastes so much better than anything from a store and it's pretty.
First little harvest of peas and tomato's.
Beans and tomato's. I love cherry tomato's.
Teeny tiny carrots. I got excited and pulled some out to see what was what. I think this is "short and sweet" variety.
More tomato's and my first little yellow squash. Yummers.
A humble first harvest, prepped and ready for dinner.
My first garden dinner. Quinoa Veggie Medley. It was good!
Ever since reading In the French Kitchen Garden, I had dreams of creating a little potager garden outside my own kitchen where I could wander out and pick a few things for dinner. Many years have passed since I first read this book, but I am slowly, very slowly beginning to achieve what I read about so long ago. Losing the tree last year has left us with much more sun right outside my kitchen, I take my blessings where I can find them, I am thankful for my little sunny patches. I want to find this book and read it again. It is a very lovely book.

Merienda is underrated.
I seldom get to enjoy merienda because nobody's home at merienda time—kids are in school and hubby is at work.
When we were kids, merienda was a big deal, especially during summers at my lolo's house in Quezon City.
The kids would swim while the adults played mahjongg.
In the middle of the afternoon, a bell would ring, heralding the arrival of the Magnolia ice cream cart.
The kids get out of the pool, bug the parents for money, and run to the Magnolia cart.
These were the choices:
1) Magnolia drumstick
2) I'm not sure
3) Pinipig crunch
4) Twin popsies
5) What's this called?
6) Ice cream cup
7) Ice cream sandwich
Chocolate twin popsies were my favorite, and I have memories of having my tongue stuck in them.
Ice cream cup was also a fave, particularly Super Mocha.
If I'm not mistaken, ice cream sandwich was the most expensive and no longer exists.
Imagine my excitement when I saw this in the freezer of Konbini Store in Greenhills: Lotte's vanilla monaka or ice cream sandwich
Inside is a nicely portioned wafer so you can share or break parts of it for more convenience
It's the closest thing to Magnolia's ice cream sandwich—imagine light vanilla ice cream (not too sweet) in a chewy thin wafer. The taste just brings me back to the '70s.
It costs Php 150 each at Konbini Store and the best part is, I can call them and reserve whatever I want in advance (Tel. 722-4263).
Konbini Store is at 57 Connecticut Street, Northeast Greenhills, San Juan.
Now if only someone would bring this back in a glass bottle, that would be fab.

It is the end of May when somehow, miraculously, we finish surveying Aetna Mountain. For the last week we have had a four-person crew, but Carl is due to leave on a two-month trip to Chile in a couple days, so we will drop back to three people. Allison, who has been feeling worse and worse as the days have gone on, has finally gone to see a doctor and has been told that she's suffering from a severe allergy to something she's encountered in the forest. The doctor prescribes steroids and tells her she can come back to work. It doesn't occur to me right off the bat that the doctor has no idea what he's talking about, but it will soon enough.
Carl is still with us as we do our initial recon of our first Hamilton County site. After Aetna Mountain we figure things have to get easier. We will figure something like this after completing each county and we'll be wrong every time. Just finding the site is a piece of work. The roads we need are either not on our Tennessee Gazetteer or named something different on the maps than the actual street signage would indicate. Our forestry maps, on the other hand, show logging roads that may no longer exist or may be so treacherous as to be impassable. Of course, there's no way to determine if a logging road is impassable other than driving down the thing and hoping you'll notice your impending doom before it's too late to turn back. But at this point we're just trying to wind our way through a labyrinthine set of neighborhood roads that turn back and forth in every direction, now seemingly leading us to our destination, now leading us away. We make wrong turns and follow roads to their abrupt ends. We use our GPS machines and compasses to try to stay on course, but these tools are most helpful when we can travel as-the-crow-flies, something we can't even come close to doing at the moment. People stop what they're doing and watch us pass, wondering why someone they don't know is driving down their street. At times like this we'd be hard put to answer them in a way that didn't sound crazy. At one point we go under a bridge that would seem to lead to our destination, but there is no obvious way up to the bridge. It sits wholly unused above us, apparently coming out of nowhere and almost certainly leading there as well.
Finally, we emerge from a series of roads that have taken us everywhere but straight ahead. We pass a ramshackle barn and a shed filled with old car parts. Ahead of us is the mysterious bridge, a bridge that, while constructed of poured concrete like any highway overpass, appears to serve no function but to drop us onto a deeply rutted dirt road. Then immediately the scene begins to look like home. To the east the landscape drops away and trees stretch out into the distance. A now-familiar queasiness wells up in the belly as the terrain that has to be walked is assessed. This area is more remote than Aetna Mountain, a lost forest tract that we might never be found in, no matter how many helicopters and search dogs were brought out. Some of the transects we need to walk are short; others are over a mile long. There isn't a cloud in the sky and the day is only beginning to hint at the heat to come later in the summer. Carl laughs and shakes his head, making no secret of the fact that he's looking forward to getting out of this job and getting to Chile, where it's surely much safer. We pass a strange house sitting silent at the bottom of a hill. The home looks fairly nice and is surprisingly large but there has clearly been no activity anywhere near it for some time. Along the road sits a dust-covered van and it is anyone's guess as to why someone chose to build out here. The owner of the house may have driven his van up months ago and promptly died--stroke, heart attack, murder--and no one would ever know. We're not about to look into it.
We've spent so much time trying to find our location that there isn't much time to survey, so we choose some of the shorter transects and get a taste of what we're in for; steep hills banked by hemlock and pine beetle kills ringed by blackberry bramble. As what he thinks will be his last act as a forest surveyor, Carl jogs a couple transects to polish off a remote corner. We don't know yet that we'll be down to a two-person crew in a matter of days and Carl will eventually find himself back in the woods. We finish up and head back to Knoxville, finally calling it a week, but quickly find that one of the roads we came in on has been torn up over the last couple hours and our path is now blocked by a bulldozer and several dump trucks. We wait some time for the crew to acknowledge us and then wait a little longer for the dozer to grade us a path out. It seems that for the duration of the summer no road will ever be certain.
The first photo is a shot of Kelly's Inn, our home in Dayton, TN until we depleted our travel budget and had to start sleeping on air mattresses at a wildlife refuge. The second shot is a rare appearance of your hapless host and, while taken in Hamilton County, it's not the site described above. I could've saved it for a more appropriate post, but I was kinda in the mood to post it. Note the GPS machine in my left hand--the coordinate we needed to find was above me, on top of all that rock. Fun! We'll get to that later. The last shot is of Young Rd., the torn up street I mentioned. Since I had a couple minutes right then I figured I'd snap a shot.

There will be, no doubt, certain viewers on Oscar night wishing to cast an Expelliarmus spell that will knock the Best Picture trophy out of the winner's clutches and into the hands of Harry Potter.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the final installment of the most successful franchise in movie history didn't get a Best Picture nomination Tuesday, just like the series' seven previous films. Not that Harry would have won – or necessarily deserved to win. But he earned a last shot at grabbing a trophy far more elusive than the snitch.
Harry, though, is not the loser in Tinseltown's equivalent of the Quidditch World Cup. By snubbing a film series beloved by a young moviegoers, Hollywood may have cursed itself.
Hollywood's schizophrenic relationship with high-quality popular movies that effectively employ action and special effects to tell a story dates to "Star Wars," which lost in 1977 to the classic "Annie Hall."
At least the industry-changing "Star Wars" got nominated. After the failure to nominate "The Dark Knight" in 2008, Oscar doubled the Best Picture field to 10, though subsequent voting changes turned the process into a crapshoot that resulted in this year's nine nominees.
The new system hasn't done much for superior, big-budget popcorn fare. Sure, the astounding "Avatar," by some measures moviedom's biggest moneymaker, got nominated but lost to "The Hurt Locker" in 2009. It took "The Lord of the Rings" series three tries before shedding that nasty ring and gaining the Best Picture statuette in 2003.
The Potter movies started out as fun family flicks. But like J.K. Rowlings' books, the films turned increasingly dark and complex. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" deserved an Oscar nod. The last entry, though, might be the series' strongest, filled with crushing loss, amid gray-shaded internal and external battles that, in our estimation, solidified a bespectacled outcast among muggles and wizards as the greatest action movie hero of all time.
Harry's certainly a hero to a generation raised on the books and movies – a generation that won't see itself represented much on Hollywood's biggest night. It's not good for business when the biggest moneymaker in a year when overall box office dipped doesn't reap any major nominations ("Deathly Hallows" did get nods in three technical categories).
The only fantasy film with multigenerational appeal to make the Best Picture cut was the incredible "Hugo," which might be the best Martin Scorsese movie that didn't star Robert DeNiro. Hollywood loves "Hugo" because it's a meta movie about the movies by a filmmaker forced to wait decades to get his proper due as a director.
Unlike the unstoppable Scorsese, Harry Potter's screen time is up. He won the final battle of good vs. evil, but Oscar wouldn't allow him a chance to fight. Even Voldemort gave Harry Potter that much.

For some, it was a business evening; for others, a chance to rub elbows with the who's-who of the Island community. Whether they came to collect awards or simply enjoy the festivities, crowds packed Flatbread Company in Edgartown Monday night for the unveiling of Martha's Vineyard Magazine's Best of the Vineyard. The awards, chosen by magazine readers, honor the finest business establishments, places and events.
The contest features 83 categories, ranging from best place to rent bicycles to best summer event.
Several businesses took home multiple awards including Nancy's Snack Bar, Offshore Ale, Sharky's Cantina, the Green Room, Giordano's, Atria, The Black Dog and the Net Result, which led the pack with six wins and one runner-up award. First-time winner the Martha's Vineyard Film Center, just opened last fall, was named best movie theatre. Dreamland, also opened last year, won the title for best place to hear live music.
The Oak Bluffs fireworks show unseated the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Society Livestock Show and Fair as the readers' choice for top summer event.
In a new category this year, the Yard dance program in Chilmark was named best performing arts organization on the Island, with the Vineyard Playhouse coming in a close second. New food-related categories brought a nod to Chilmark Chocolates for best Island-made candy/chocolates. Atria won for best french fries, a compliment to their best burger win.
The gala celebration featured music by DJ Shizz and free brick-oven pizza by Flatbread, which was devoured by members of the Martha's Vineyard Sharks baseball team and kept staff running to keep pace with their appetites.
Martha's Vineyard Magazine has been sponsoring the Best of the Vineyard awards since 2001, carrying on a tradition begun by the Vineyard Gazette in 1996. Details about the winners and runners-up are included in the July issue of Martha's Vineyard Magazine, on newsstands now. For more information about the contest, visit mvmagazine.com.

Eligibility & Age Requirements
- You and any co-borrowers must be at least 62 years of age
- Your home must be your primary residence
- You must own your home free and clear, or the existing mortgage is required to be refinanced with the reverse mortgage proceeds
- Educational counseling with a HUD-approved counselor is required
Reverse mortgage costs
- A deposit for the appraisal is an out-of-pocket cost
- There are additional closing costs which may be financed as part of the loan, such as:
- Title insurance
- Mortgage insurance premiums
- Attorney fees
Reverse mortgage repayment
You do not need to repay the loan as long as all program requirements are met, including:
- You or one of the borrowers continue to live in the house
- You keep the taxes and insurance on the property current
- You maintain the property to FHA standards
Reverse mortgage repayment
- There is no requirement that the home be sold, only that the loan be repaid.
- If you die and your heirs choose to retain ownership of the home, the full outstanding loan balance must be paid.
- Because the home is the only collateral attached to the loan, any remaining home equity, along with your other possessions, belongs to you or your heirs.
Two essential facts
Making an educated decision begins with understanding your responsibilities when applying for a reverse mortgage loan. Two points you need to be aware of are:
- You must live in the home as your primary residence.
- You must stay current on property tax and homeowner's insurance payments and maintain the home to FHA standards.

A statement referring to an infinite set can sometimes be logically rephrased using only finite sets/objects. For example, "The set of primes is infinite" <-> "There is no largest prime". Pleasantly, the proof of this statement does not seem to need infinity either (assume a largest prime, contradiction).
What reason is there, other than convenience or curiosity, to adjoin infinite sets to our universe by axiomatically declaring that one exists?
What is an example of a theorem in ZF or ZFC which 1) does not refer to infinite sets, but 2) cannot be proven if the axiom of infinity is excluded?
(See Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory for the axiom of infinity in context.)

Mr. Pokémon is a researcher who helped discover Pokémon Eggs alongside Professor Elm. He appears in Pokémon Gold and Silver and its remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. He has been helpful to numerous research projects. He was known for partnering up with Professor Elm and Professor Oak to develop the Pokédex.
Mr. Pokémon apparently went to the Pokémon Day Care Center, where he first found the Pokémon egg. However, when he returned to the lab, he decided to send it to another professional of Pokémon research to preserve this discovery. This is seen in gameplay of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal and its remakes.
- He is alerted in the game when your rival steals one of Elm's Starter Pokémon.
- He is often visited by Oak and can give somebody a Pokédex.
- He does not own any Pokémon other than the few he keeps for research.
- He helped direct the building of a Pokémon Center.

This Concordia Sheila type yawl - 'Design No. 14', originally commissioned by George Cheston, was completed in 1951 by Abeking & Rasmussen of Germany and christened Moorea. The original order and design specifications for this vessel are archived at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Copies are available for viewing in person at our office.
Now named Never Again, this well maintained classic sailing yacht has always been winter-stored indoors in a dirt floor shed that holds many classic wooden boats. It's last survey was in 2006 and it was a very good one. All recommended items have been addressed since then. The survey and recent visual inspection indicate that the vessel is in very good structural and mechanical condition.
Concordia yawls not only turn heads on the water, their owners become a part of American sailing history. Inspections available by appointment.
Please contact Jonathan smith, central agent for further information and full specifications on this vessel. Jonathan would be delighted to give you a first hand personal description of the vessel and its features.

But mostly we were doing this:We went to a great u-pick blueberry patch about half an hour southwest of town yesterday, with tall blueberry bushes and big fat blueberries and tadpoles in deep wagon ruts filled with water. Heaven.Oddly enough (or perhaps not), it seemed like everyone else from Bloomington was there, as well, including a few families we see around town regularly (I call this the Mom Circuit--public library, Wonderlab, park, pool), some Montessori families, and my dear blog friend Cake. It was a delicious morning for blueberry picking.
We made it home with 13+ pounds of blueberries. We dropped a quart or so off with Matt to sustain him throughout his afternoon of work, and Sydney carried around her own personal basket chock-full of blueberries that she, herself, had picked, for the entire day, munching and munching--I finally found it in the yard near dusk, empty.
The surviving blueberries got washed and laid out to dry:
And of those that survived that, about half got packed into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, stuffed full, and put in the chest freezer for those blueberry cravings that inconveniently surface themselves in the winter.
I'm dying to use my brand-new pressure cooker and canning stuff to preserve some blueberries, but I'm not in love by the amount of sugar that jam requires. Any ideas for healthy methods to preserve blueberries?

State Department isn't saying exactly which ones will close, or how many.
The United States will temporarily shut down all of its embassies in the Middle East (and some in Asia) on Sunday in response to a possible threat connected to al-Qaeda, NBC News is reporting. They're not specifying which embassies will be closed, or how many.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told NBC that the decision came after the U.S. was "apprised of information that out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting our installations, that indicates we should institute these precautionary steps," but didn't provide much more on the closures beyond that. The decision to close might be extended beyond Sunday, depending on what the department knows about the continuing threat. Here's what an unnamed official at the department said to the network about the closures:
All embassies that are usually open in Sundays — primarily those in Muslim countries and Israel — would be closed Aug. 4 "out of an abundance of caution." Sunday is a normal workday in those countries. The officials said the threat appeared to have originated somewhere in the Middle East and to be related to al-Qaeda. It was aimed at overseas diplomatic posts, not at facilities inside the U.S., they said.

Originally a botanist named Dr. Pamela Isley, she became Poison Ivy after experiments conducted by Dr. Jason Woodrue fused her human blood with plant toxins. She became immune to all diseases and at the same time lost her capability to reproduce.
Without the capability to have children of her own, Poison Ivy grew to hate men and treated plants as her own children. She believed that plants were more foremost then human life and therefore began to generate many problems in Gotham City.
Halloween Costumes
Poison Ivy's biggest vigor is her deadly kiss. So if you are reasoning of utilizing your lips as weapons this Halloween, consider dressing up as Poison Ivy. You can order a pre-made costume online or use the following guidelines for creating your own costume.
Step One. Either or not you order a costume online, it is imperative that you go online for the red Poison Ivy hair wig. Although Ivy's lips are the immediate cause of her victim's downfall, her hair plays a heavy role in luring them in. Men become right away paralyzed by the pull of attraction from her hair, so ensure you have the right wig when compiling this costume.
Step Two. Dressed in the colors of nature, a poison Ivy costume should be based in a green leatard. Based on your individual preferences you can ensemble the pieces together. Select from one piece body suits, to tightly fitted pants and tops. Just ensure that anyone you Select is able to fit under green elbow length gloves. If you can find a leatard that has ivy prints on it, this will be most ideal.
Step Three. Find the boots that were made for walking all over the heart's of men. Select Either knee high black or green boots. Make sure you are comfortable adequate to walk a decent distance.
Step Four. To bring your outfit all together tie a thick gold belt colse to your waist. This accessory will make you look great and can also help supply storage for any valuables. Since you probably wont have any pockets in your tight pants, this belt can be very helpful in holding your prestige card, cash, and even cell phone.
Step Five. For those who want to add a dinky kick to your costume you can decorate it with fake leaves. Art supply stores or even garden shops should carry the plastic green you can glue, sew, or staple colse to your costume. If you find one with branches you can wrap yourself with it, just make sure you will still have room to sit down. Live plants will also work, but plastic is recommended because it will last longer and is easier to clean.
Batman had many villains to battle, but Poison Ivy was one of the most intriguing. The Poison Ivy costume is very unique, and will be something that citizen will have a hard time forgetting.A Poison Ivy Batman Halloween Costume in 5 Easy Steps

House Speaker John Boehner told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" that President Barack Obama is "not being serious" about proposing a deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff," slamming the president and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's initial offer.
"It was not a serious offer," Boehner said. "I looked at [Geithner] and I said, 'You can't be serious?'
"You know, we've got several weeks between Election Day and the end of the year. And three of those weeks have been wasted with this nonsense."
The topline of the White House's reported initial offer is $1.6 trillion in tax increases and $400 billion in cuts to Medicare and other entitlements. It also includes $50 billion in immediate stimulus spending and a proposal to eliminate Congress' power to vote on raising the debt ceiling, two components Boehner also slammed.
"Silliness. Congress is never going to give up this power," Boehner said. "I've made it clear to the president that every time we get to the debt limit, we need cuts and reforms that are greater than the increase in the debt limit. It's the only way to leverage the political process to produce more change than what it would if left alone."

(Reuters) - Molson Coors Brewing Co (TAP.N) warned on Wednesday that the current quarter would be the most challenging of the year, with higher costs, increased spending and weak economic conditions, and the beer maker's shares fell 3.7 percent.
The share decline outpaced that of the wider market, which was down more than 2 percent a day after the re-election of President Barack Obama. Comments by the European Central Bank president weighed on market sentiment.
Molson, the company behind beers such as Coors Light and Blue Moon, said consumer demand for beer across its businesses declined in the third quarter.
The Central European business that the brewer acquired earlier this year, which makes Staropramen beer, saw volume fall due to lower demand, particularly in September.
In the current fourth quarter, Molson said it expects difficult comparisons with year-ago results in some regions, as well as higher ingredient costs in Central Europe and significantly higher "marketing and business transformation costs" in the United States designed to improve information systems and business processes.
Third-quarter net income rose to $198.4 million, or $1.09 per share, from $197.4 million, or $1.06 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding special items, earnings were $1.37 per share. On that basis, analysts on average were expecting $1.34, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net sales increased 25 percent to $1.20 billion, fueled by the Central European business, which makes the Staropramen brand.
MillerCoors, the combined U.S. operations of Molson Coors and SABMiller SAB.L, reported a nearly 14 percent rise in third-quarter net income as it sold more expensive beers.
Molson's Canadian, British and international businesses had lower earnings.
Sales to retailers fell 5.1 percent in Canada, 4.8 percent in Britain and 2.4 percent in the United States. It cited a shift in the timing of Canada Day in Molson's calendar, weak economic conditions in Britain, and one less selling day in the United States.
In the first month of the fourth quarter, sales to retailers fell at a high-single-digit rate in Canada, hurt by industry weakness and a National Hockey League lockout. In Britain, sales in that month fell by a low-double-digit rate, while U.S. sales were flat.
For the full year, Molson said its costs should rise at a high-single-digit rate in Canada and Britain due to higher pension costs, higher ingredient costs, a shift in consumption toward higher-cost brands and packages, and other factors.
Molson shares were down $1.60 to $41.60 on the New York Stock Exchange.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Sebastián Miranda, the Crew's most durable defender the past two years, will not be back in 2013, according to technical director Brian Bliss.
The club did not pick up his option and unsuccessfully tried to reach a new deal with the 32-year-old right back. Reports from Miranda's native Chile indicate he will sign with his former club Universidad Católica.
"At this point, we've kind of broken things off and are going in another direction," Bliss told MLSsoccer.com on Wednesday.
Miranda played 97 percent of the total available minutes (5,926 of 6,120) during the 2011 and '12 regular seasons and started all but one of 68 matches. He played all 34 games in his first year with the club, sitting only 16 minutes, after replacing veteran defender and club icon Frankie Hejduk.
Bliss said the Crew held contract talks with Miranda before he returned to Chile in November.
"We had an offer out there and we were unable to reach an agreement before he left," Bliss said. "We left it as is and didn't pursue it after that."
If Miranda does sign with Católica, he will not be joined, at least immediately, by Columbus midfielder Milovan Mirosevic, a longtime friend and fellow Chilean.
He, too, has been linked to a return to his former club, but Mirosevic, 32, is under contract with the Crew through the 2013 season and a transfer would require a fee paid by the purchasing club.
"Yeah, I expect him back," Bliss said. "He has a contract. This was somewhat of surprise to us, the Internet reports and all that. I expect him to be at preseason. I talked to his agent before Christmas. He actually called to refute the article."

Hey Everyone!
Here is Boe!
We rescued Boe from a kill shelter, one day for he was scheduled to be euthanized. The shelter held him 2 weeks longer than they were allowed too, and unfortunately Boe started to go a litle cage crazy. We are looking for a fur-ever home for him! He is good with kids, but we prefer older kids than younger. We are also asking no other dogs, as Boe is not good with other males, and some females. He is a big baby as you can see, just needs more work with manners and obidence. Our clinic is offering FULL vet care needs for him for his entire life, if adopted in our area.
He is 2 - 3 years old, UTD on all shots, Microchipped, and neutered. He was tested and is HW negative!

Why did King James I think that smoking tobacco was a dangerous habit?

Standards Of Learning
Historical Information:
Before tobacco became a major cash crop for England and its colonies, many people viewed it as a major social problem in European society. Europeans had been exposed to tobacco as early as 1560 and used it primarily as medicine. At the time people believed that tobacco treated or cured many illnesses, such as headaches, stomach problems, coughs, epilepsy, and cancer. In the following decades, tobacco use among Europeans dramatically increased, not only for medicinal use but also for recreation. For many rulers in Europe, including King James I, tobacco smoking represented a major social and health problem. English leaders did not make the sale and smoking of tobacco illegal, although many other European countries did, including France, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland. Instead, King James I tried hard to reduce tobacco usage, even to the point of instituting in 1604 a tax on tobacco of six shillings and eight pence to the existing two shillings per pound tax; this was an increase of 4,000 percent. The price increase, however, did little to reduce English demand for the "noxious weed."
The attitude of the king and members of England's ruling classes changed when tobacco became a cash crop for its colonies. During the early years of English exploration and settlement of North America, only a nominal amount of tobacco was cultivated and exported. For that reason, in 1604, when King James issued this statement, the main suppliers of tobacco to the English were foreign shippers, particularly Spain. Not until the 1620s did the English colonies of Virginia and Maryland began to grow and export significant quantities. Accepting the inevitable King James decided the Crown might as well cash in on the popularity of tobacco and the state took control of the industry. Ironically, tobacco cultivation would lay the foundation for the success of England's American colonies.
This lesson is based on two images. One is the title page of a 1672 reprint of King James I's famous Counterblast to Tobacco, an essay he wrote in 1604 about the evils of tobacco. The second image shows the concluding passages from the same document, which includes the most famous quotation from this tract: "a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to theNose, harmful to the brain, and dangerous to the Lungs." Another document, entitled "Selected Excerpts from Tobacco Counterblast," is a supplement to the images and provides more of the language from the original publication.

Lesson Ideas:
• How were Europeans first exposed to tobacco?
• Tobacco has been an important industry in the United States. Trace its history through the years.
• What else is King James I known for? Trace the history of his reign and his major impacts on society and history.
• Discuss government regulation of tobacco. Argue for or against legalizing other drugs since tobacco and alcohol are both legal. Assign sides and hold a debate.
• Compare and contrast King James I's Counterblast to a modern-day Surgeon General's warning on tobacco and smoking. Today the emphasis is on the damage the drug does to a person's body and health. While King James certainly touched on that, he appealed more to people's sense of morality and vanity in trying to get them to quit.
• Research antismoking campaigns from the 20th century until present times. Were any effective? Why or why not? Design your own anti-smoking campaign.
Research and Discussion Questions:
Questions From "Selected excerpts" document:
1. What does Section II reveal about the understanding of the human body and medicine in the 17th century? How does this differ from what we know today about how the body works?
2. In Sections I, IV, and V, King James I places blame for both the infiltration of tobacco smoking into English culture, and for the continued promotion of its use as a medicine. Who does he blame? How would you characterize these criticisms?
3. Based on your reading of Section V, what is a folk remedy? What folk remedies are still popular today?
4. In Section VI, King James I notes the addictive qualities of tobacco. What other addiction does he compare it to? How does this compare to what we now know about the effects of nicotine on the human body?
5. Compare and contrast the arguments and criticisms presented by King James I and current antismoking campaigns. How are they similar?

Teach English Online!
Date 2013-09-06 12:09:49 Location : Oceania
1. Are you a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional ESL teacher?
2. Do you have a fun and upbeat personality?
3. Are you great with people?
Were all your answers "YES"? If so, please proceed:
Would you like to earn a sizeable income from the comfort and privacy of your own home?
Then you've come to the right place!
English-and-Skype is an online English school based out of Moscow, Russia. It was founded in 2011 by Sergey Fomin, a young entrepreneur who saw that many people needed to learn English to better their lives but weren't able to attend traditional classes. Thus, English-and-Skype was born.
Today the company has a large and growing student base and because of this, it constantly needs experienced ESL professionals to give high quality classes to students.
At English-and-Skype, we specialize in one-to-one English lessons via Skype. Our students are all ages and need to learn English for many different reasons. However, the one thing they all have in common is that they need fun, effective, personalized English lessons with a certified native English speaker.
Now that you know a little bit about us, let's talk a little bit about what we're looking for in a teacher.
1. Our teachers must be native English speakers. Sorry, but there are no exceptions here!
2. Our teachers must be certified to teach English as a second language. This means that you need to have successfully completed a recognized TESOL/TEFL/CELTA course.
3. You need to have an enthusiastic and creative teaching style and an outgoing personality. We're looking for energetic people that are friendly and great with people. You must also be able to create fun and personalized lessons.
4. You must be able to work at least 15 hours a week.
5. You must have a good internet connection, a web cam, and a quiet working environment.
Why work for us?
There are many advantages to working for English-and-Skype. Let's look at a few, shall we?
1. You'll never have to spend money on driving to and from work again! Yep, that's a great thought, huh? With gas prices soaring, you'll save loads of money by working from the comfort of your own home!
2. You set your own schedule, so you can work around your busy life! As long as you can work at least 15 hours a week, you can choose when you want to work. That sure beats a 9-5, right?
3. Chose what you want to teach and what you use to teach. At English-and-Skype, we don't force you to teach a class that you don't feel comfortable teaching. If you want to teach general English but don't feel comfortable teaching an exam preparation class, no problem!
4. Additionally, our teachers are free to choose their teaching materials. We don't require our teachers to use the same books over and over again.
5. Earn a nice income. Our teachers earn from 10 to 20 USD per class (depending on experience, class type, and class length). To put it bluntly, many other online schools aren't willing to pay their teachers near that much. Don't believe us? Check it out yourself!
So, if you meet all our requirements and feel like you have what it takes to be an EAS teacher

While it won't be as stormy as today, the rest of this week and the beginning of the next could be rather wet across the Carolinas.
It appears as if stalled frontal boundaries and a series of weak low pressure systems will conspire to bring periods of showers and thunderstorms to the region. There will be some dry spells, however, and temperatures will remain on the mild side.
Today's severe weather threat is covered in another story on The Observer's website today, but once the storms move southeast of the region early Wednesday, we should enjoy rather dry conditions on Wednesday and Thursday.
A stalled frontal system will be south and west of Charlotte, so we'll see only a few scattered afternoon and evening storms both days.
By Friday, however, the computer models are hinting at an upper-level low pressure system moving slowly into the Carolinas. That could bring several days of unsettled weather ... marked by mostly cloudy skies and periods of showers and storms. It could last through the weekend and into next Monday or Tuesday.
The scenario we talked about in late March seems to be playing out ... chilly air has been parked over the North for much of the spring, and the dividing line between colder conditions and the warmth of the South has served as a focus for stormy weather. It could be a couple more weeks before the chilly air is pushed farther north for the summer.
Stay tuned.
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
A wet week could be ahead
While it won't be as stormy as today, the rest of this week and the beginning of the next could be rather wet across the Carolinas.

Man United beats Reading to reach FA Cup quarters
- Nani and Javier Hernanzed scored for Manchester United in a 2-1 win over Reading
- Manchester United will face either Chelsea or Middlesbrough in the FA Cup quarterfinals
- United manager Alex Ferguson said he was %22satisfied with the quality of the game%22
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Nani and Javier Hernandez both scored in a three-minute span in the second half Monday as Manchester United finally broke down Reading's stubborn defense to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory.
United had dominated much of the game at Old Trafford but lacked a cutting edge until Nani broke the deadlock with a clinical finish in the 69th minute. Hernandez headed in the second from Nani's cross three minutes later to seemingly make the game safe, but Jobi McAnuff pulled one back for reading in the 82nd.
Nani and Hernadez both missed opportunities to extend the lead after that, and Reading never came close to an equalizer until Adam le Fondre's glancing header from a free kick went wide in injury time.
Still, the last 10 minutes could have been a lot more comfortable for United if the hosts had capitalized on their previous chances.
"We really should have punished them better," United manager Alex Ferguson said. "I think when you analyze it we played some great football. We should have scored a lot of goals today. ... But I'm really satisfied with the quality of the game."
United will face either Chelsea or Middlesbrough in the quarterfinals.
Nani was on the bench to start but came on near the end of the first half after Phil Jones limped off after a tough tackle. With Wayne Rooney sidelined by an illness and Robin van Persie also on the bench, Nani was at the heart of most United attacks after that, and hit the post within minutes with a volley from the edge of the area.
The Portuguese winger drew a couple of good saves from goalkeeper Adam Federici with shots from distance as the hosts kept pressing without much success. Ferguson finally felt compelled to bring on Van Persie midway through the second half, but it was Nani who provided the goal.
Antonio Valencia broke into the area from the right and laid the ball off to Nani, who controlled it his left foot before volleying past Federici with his right.
"If I get my opportunity to come on I just want to enjoy the game and help the team. That's what happened," Nani said. "That (goal) changed the game. And I'm so pleased to give one assist to (Hernandez) and help the team."
The assist came with a perfect cross from the right flank and "Chicharito" once again showed his poacher's instinct as he beat his marker to the ball to head into the net.
But United's defense then lost its focus as it failed to clear a cross into the area, with McAnuff pouncing on the ball and beating an onrushing David de Gea from close range.
Hernandez then forced a save from Federici on a counterattack in the 87th, and Nani volleyed the rebound into the side netting.
While Reading failed to find an equalizer, manager Brian McDermott said he was proud of the performance.
"Fantastic effort by our players, absolutely terrific," McDermott said. "To come to a place like this and perform as well as we have, that's going to be good for us going into the last 12 games of the season."

Sink your teeth into this savory sandwich instead of the alternative from Arby's. We love fast-food flavor without fast-food fat grams!
1/4 cup Fiber One Original bran cereal
1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper
One 3-oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cutlet, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 oz. reduced-sodium 97 - 98% fat-free sliced ham (about 2 slices)
1 slice Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese
1 light hamburger bun with about 80 calories (or HG Alternative)
1/2 tbsp. light mayonnaise
Place cereal in a sealable plastic bag, seal, and finely crush with a meat mallet or other heavy utensil. Transfer crumbs to a wide bowl, and stir in salt and pepper.
Place chicken in another wide bowl, top with egg substitute, and flip to coat. Shake to remove excess egg, and coat with crumbs.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook chicken for about 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
While still in the skillet, top chicken with ham and cheese. Cover and cook for 1 minute, or until cheese has melted. Transfer to the bottom half of the bun.
Spread the top half of the bun with mayo, and place over the sandwich. Eat up!
Serving Size: 1 sandwich Calories: 325 Fat: 9g Sodium: 935mg Carbs: 32.5g Fiber: 12g Sugars: 3.5g Protein: 38g PointsPlus® value 8*
HG FYI: This recipe calls for Sargento cheese due to its impressively low sodium count. Feel free to use any reduced-fat Swiss cheese; however, the total sodium may vary.
HG Alternative: Can't find 80-calorie light hamburger buns? Try a 100-calorie flat sandwich bun, like an Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich Thin. Just adjust the calorie count accordingly!
Of this sandwich, Arby's says, "You can't be blue with our Bleu." We'd like to respectfully disagree, since the stats on their Chicken Cordon Bleu have us down in the dumps. From the cheese and greasy fried chicken to the ham and mayo, this is pretty much just a big pile of fat. But while we do not enjoy this sandwich's nutritionals, we LOVE the idea behind the dish. Swiss cheese and ham pair SO well with chicken... You've just gotta do it right. Reduced-fat Swiss, a little lean ham, a faux-fried chicken cutlet, some light mayo, and a perfectly sized bun make for one heck of a swap for the Arby's sandwich. Don't be sad, Arby's. We're just really good at this.
Serving Size: 1 sandwich Calories: 620 Fat: 31g Sodium: 1,700mg Carbs: 47g Fiber: 2g Sugars: 7g Protein: 38g PointsPlus® value 16*

May 9- July 24, 2013
When Clarissa Tossin moved to Houston in 2010, she was struck by the ubiquity of domestic windows covered in aluminum foil. Often appearing in lower-income areas as an economically savvy strategy to block out the bright Texas sun, foil-covered windows suggested complex issues of location, class, history, and taste to Tossin. Such concerns occupy her work, which consists of subtle gestures using drawing, photography, video, and sculpture in order to illuminate what goes unseen or unexamined, be it architectural similarities between a settlement in the Amazon forest and a small town in Michigan or the intensive labor required to clean a pristine modernist government building in Brazil. Tossin aims to reveal and unsettle the invisible supporting structures of urban life, capital, and modernity.
For Blind Spot, Tossin photographed primarily in the Third Ward to capture the utilitarian yet creative ways residents cover their windows with layer upon layer of foil, bolstered by tape and plastic. Printed as high-quality digital images on vinyl and hung as blinds in the historic storefront windows at 110 Milam Street, Blind Spot effectively transposes locations by substituting one kind of window treatment for another, trading windows decorated of necessity for the photograph as art object and insisting that we see the city anew by taking the time to consider the relationship between these functions. Tossin's images are densely textured with rich surface qualities in every crease and fold of the materials. The windows' division into panes suggests grid-like formal dimensions, yet clean modularity is interrupted at every turn by a rusty spot on an air conditioner, bright green bursts of plants, faded blue painter's tape, or pieces of foil that show their sun damage and do fully cover the glass.
Blind Spot poetically recalls Gordon Matta-Clark's 1976 site-specific intervention in New York City titled Window Blow-Out, in which the artist placed photographs of broken windows of buildings in the South Bronx into the windows of the Institute of Architecture in Manhattan. Building upon this artistic precedent with strong social implications, Blind Spot claims covered windows as a constituent part of Houston's urban history and aesthetics.
Originally from Brazil, Clarissa Tossin lives and works in Los Angeles. She earned an M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts in 2009 and was a Core Fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston from 2010 to 2012. Her first solo exhibition at Sicardi Gallery will be on view from May 16 to June 29, 2013. The exhibition, Project Room: Study for a Landscape, includes prints, sculpture, and mixed media in which Tossin explores ways of experiencing and representing landscapes. In the summer of 2013, she will join the international artist-in-residency program at Artpace San Antonio, curated by Hou Hanru.
Window into Houston is made possible with generous support from Jim Petersen, Jr. Additional support for Blind Spot is provided by Sicardi Gallery.
Located in downtown Houston and viewed from the street and sidewalk, Window into Houston highlights the most recent developments in Houston's artistic landscape and reaches out to a broad and diverse audience to engage them in a dialogue about contemporary art made in Houston.

PlayStation gamers, Bethesda swears it's not ignoring you.
Owners of Sony's game console have been angered at how their platform hasn't gotten any of the add-ons for Bethesda's hit action RPG yet. The outcry has been that the publisher doesn't care about the PS3 portion of the Skyrim player base. An announcement that the just-released Dragonborn will be coming to PS3 next year tamped down some of the grumbling but questions have been floated about the older DLC releases. A post on Bethesda's official blog says the following:
On PS3 in particular, we turned our attention to Dragonborn, as we thought it was the best content to release first, and we didn't want folks to wait longer. Once it's ready to go for everyone, we'll continue our previous work on Hearthfire and Dawnguard for PS3. Each one takes a lot of time and attention to work well in all circumstances and all combinations of DLC. Once we have a better idea of release timing and pricing, we'll let you know.
At the very least, the post indicates that the work Bethesda's been putting into bringing over Hearthfire and Dawnguard to PS3 probably helped them figure out how to get Dragonborn to work. Of course, it has to actually happen. Fingers crossed until next year.

Her love of outdoor action has led to not only sneaking off to have hot, spontaneous sex in inappropriate places, but it has resulted in her being involved in a variety of fun outdoor pursuits. Her most preferred pastime is travelling the highway with wind in her hair, and a heavy, vibrating motorcycle between her shapely thighs. With tight leather chaps on and and endless open sky, Nikki always feels free. Even winter is no barrier, as Nikki is more than happy to get out snowboarding with or without clothing whenever she can.

Game on.
Levi Johnston completed the first of two nude photo shoots for Playgirl magazine on Thursday, and the ex-hockey hero's manager says fans could expect to see "more than they thought."
"There was a hockey stick involved," Johnston's rep, Tank Jones, dished to Usmagazine.com.
U.S. & World
After appearing at the Fleshbot Awards in New York City on Wednesday to accept an award for "best mainstream to porn crossover," the thrilla from Wasilla followed through with the old Johnston vow: "I just get naked – that's what I do."
"The shoot was fantastic!" Jones told Us. "Part two is going to be fantastic. That's all I can say."
But Jones had a stern message – one that invoked the mighty Burt Reynolds -- for anyone who might accuse the father of Sarah Palin's grandson of trying to court attention by shedding his clothes.
"He's doing Playgirl because he wants to do Playgirl," Jones said. "A lot of famous people have done Playgirl: Jim Brown, Burt Reynolds, Mario Lopez."
As for talk of Johnston spending Turkey Day with the Palins, Jones said his client has yet to receive the invite.
Photos from the teen dad's shoot are set to appear in Playgirl's January issue, according to Us.
