Do You Buy Into Global Warming?
2012 was the hottest year on record in the United States. Scientists say high temperatures were brought on by release of greenhouse gases.
We all know remember the unprecedented 106+ degrees last summer. But was it just a fluke of nature?
According to AccuWeather the average temperature in the U.S. in 2012 was 55.3 degrees, which is 3.2 degrees above normal. This ranks as the warmest year since 1895 when record keeping began.
Scientists agree that temperatures historically rise and fall, but say that warming caused by the human release of greenhouse gases played into the extreme high temperatures in 2012.
The year began with an unusually warm winter with relatively little snow last year as the beginning which was followed by a March that was so hot that trees began to bloom. Then the drought that engulfed 61 percent of the nation.
Was it just coincidental that 11 natural disasters including several tornadoes, two hurricanes, one striking the Gulf Coast, the second causing extensive damage in New Jersey and New York hit in one year.
What do you think? Was this just a rare case of severe weather? Or are we looking at a real global warming trend?

Absolutely NOT. The earth is generally accepted to be around 7 billion years old. Mankind has been here in something resembling his current form for maybe 10,000 years. Even if we had started taking measurements at the dawn of mankind, we would not have enough samples for a statistically significant study. The temperatures on earth naturally vary on cycles of tens of thousands of years. "Global Warming" which was debunked as a theory by the discovery of emails among so-called climate scientists conspiring to manipulate the raw data to support their claims. Additionally, the original proponent of the theory stated last year that the entire movement was baseless. Why does it hang around? The 24-hour news outlets need something to put on their air. Additionally what is now referred to by activists as "climate change" to dissociate them from the global warming crackpots. The climate IS IN FACT CHANGING. When I was young we called it seasons, there are four of them every year. The Global Warming/Climate Change handwringers are simply playing political football with essentially irrelevant data.
Its a crock. End of story.

Further, your "climategate" claim is preposterous. There are tens of thousands of scientists who have relied and continue to rely on the CRUTem surface analysis. Not one blinked an eye when the "climategate" allegations were whispered (they were never formalized, even though six investigations cleared the scientists of scientific misconduct). They continue to use CRUTem because they know no fraud has taken place. They know that the CRUTem trend matches every other global surface/lower troposphere temp analysis. "Climategate" was a carefully-designed rhetorical move by people who are paid to make sure people like you are confused. Sustaining the delay in moving from fossil energy to renewable energy means big profits for the people who paid the "climategate" designers.
Tell me, what do you think "hide the decline" means? And do you know the controversy surrounding Soon & Baliunas (2003)?
You also say, "Additionally, the original proponent of the theory stated last year that the entire movement was baseless." This would be difficult. After all, Svante Arrhenius has been dead for about 75 years.
If you want to attack something, isn't it important to know something about what you're attacking? For starters, see Spencer Weart's "The Discovery of Global Warming" on the American Institute of Physics website (http://www.aip.org/history/climate/co2.htm). Even if you disagree with parts of the theory, you'll at least sound better informed.

Richard, the Earth is accepted to be 4.54 billion years old. Anatomically modern humans appeared 200,000 years ago. There are many proxies that are correlated to give a pretty good picture of temperature over the last few hundred million years.
Yes, there are natural cycles -- Milankovitch cycling, ENSO, 11-year solar, PDO, and all sorts of other cycles. If you want to say something useful about natural cycles, point out which cycle is responsible for the trend in global energy storage since 1960. Your claim implies that scientists aren't aware of these cycles and don't perform a great deal of research to understand their roles in global temp. Apparently, you fail to realize that the same people who brought you the understanding of these natural cycles are also the people telling you that the natural cycles aren't responsible for the current warming. Who are you going to believe: climate scientists or climate scientists?

Global Warming is not a total fraud, but it is being used to defraud many and being leveraged via the so-called "environmentalists" who are in many cases Marxist Communists. This is a proven fact, not hysterical conspiracy. Not to mention Al Gore who has made millions pushing this quasi-hoax.
Dave Leaton

Chuckle -- weatherbell -- Joe Bastardi and Joe D'Aleo. Highly trustworthy /sarc. Actually, Joe B thinks it is a fraud. Here's how well he understands the theory he attacks: "[AGW] contradicts what we call the 1st law of thermodynamics. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. So to look for input of energy into the atmosphere, you have to come from a foreign source."
Apparently he's unaware that the thermal infrared that's absorbed/emitted by atmospheric CO2 is emitted by the sun-warmed surface of the Earth. That's a Climate 101 concept.
D'Aleo is a Heartland guy and instrumental in spreading the "climategate" garbage. That means he's got zero integrity toward science in my book. D'Aleo has claimed that the solar variation has been the driving force of the recent trend in surface temp. That shows a complete disregard for the published science and instrumental data. TSI has been flat or falling for fifty years. Pasini et al. (2012) found that the sun and surface temp de-coupled around 1960. There are dozens of other studies that come to a similar conclusion (e.g. Gillett et al. (2012), Foster & Rahmstorf (2011), Lean & Rind (2008), Huber & Knutti (2011), Erlykin et al. (2009), Benestad & Schmidt (2009), among others). D'Aleo is interested in opinion-making.

OK, anyone care to address the fact that you still have a statistically insignificant sample? Not that I'm abandoning my belief that "global warming" under whatever term happens to be fashionable, is insignificant other than as a tool for activists"? BTW can the anatomical humans of 200,000 years ago provide any weather observations?
Dave Leaton
12:36 pm on Friday, January 11, 2013
Richard T, the theory of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is not based on the surface temperature record. Only the accuracy of model projections is based (partially) on the surface temp record. The theory of AGW is just the greenhouse gas (GHG) theory combined with the evidence for humans being responsible for the recent rise in atmospheric greenhouse gases. The GHG theory is as solid as science gets. It has been tested in lab, directly measured from the ground, and inferred from satellite instruments such as MODIS.
The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what the surface trend is doing. The planet will be warmer at 300ppm CO2 than it would be with 100ppm CO2. So let's separate the theory of AGW from the model projections. Questioning the accuracy of the latter does not question the validity of the former. Anyone who tries to tell you that "global warming has stopped" by pointing to the surface temp trend either doesn't know what they're talking about or thinks that you don't know enough to question the claim.
That having been said, the surface temp trend has flattened a bit in the last 15 years. Again, this does not mean that GW has stopped. It means that something is countering GHG warming. If you want to see what could possibly do that, read Foster & Rahmstorf (2011) in Environmental Research Letters, or go to the blog of one of the authors, who discusses the study in detail: http://tamino.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/the-real-global-warming-signal/

That was all preface for the actual answer to your question.
How would you determine a significant length of time to describe "climate" as opposed to "weather"? Upon what basis would you answer the question? Scientists say 30 years, because that takes out the majority of natural cycles. Anything less than 30 years contains too much noise from short-term cycles to be useful, unless you want to spend time removing the short-term cycle signals (ala Foster & Rahmstorf (2011)).
Thirty years leaves a manageable number of natural cycles to work with. There actually aren't that many significant natural cycles that work on a 30 to 500 year frequency. Even mid-range solar variation (e.g. Maunder & Dalton minimums) isn't really strong when compared with recent warming. Long-range cycles like the Milankovitch cycles aren't really all that strong either when set against AGW. Tzedakis et al. (2012) found that glacial inception won't occur with CO2 above 280ppm, so global warming has likely stopped the next Milankovitch-driven glacial period.
The trend in global temperature since 1960, when solar variation and surface temp variation de-coupled, is .138C per decade (or .0138C per year, if you prefer). Is that increase insignificant? PETM warming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petm) was 5C over 12,000 years -- .000417C per year. We are currently warming at 33x the rate of PETM warming.

I dont think there is a lot of doubt that there is global warming or climate change. The climate has been changing since the beginning of time. The dispute seems to be about the cause.
Over the last billion years there have been numerous ice/ glacial ages. The most recent llasted about 50,000 yrs and ended about 15,000 years ago. It included glaciers that advanced all the way into what is now the northern tier of states in the US. It is credited with creating the Great Lakes, the '10,000' lakes in Minnesota and the Finger Lakes in upstate NY, as well as causing deposits of fertile soils in the midwestern US.
The climate had to change and become quite cold to cause the creation of that much ice, and had to change to quite warm to cause the glaciers to melt/retreat all the way back up to the polar regions.
Most of these glacial periods occurred before humans roamed the earth and all of them occurred before humans started burning fossil fuels and driving SUVs. The idea that humans are responsible for global warming and / or climate change is arrogant at best and dangerous at worst.

UX Best Practices for Solid SEO
Last week, Wednesday Oct. 3rd to be exact, myself and a few other Schipulites attended the Interactive Strategies Psych Conference (IS 12).

Okay, it has been a long time coming, but I can hold it in no more. If you work with me, you too may have fought this battle, I know if you are my sister you have battled this hot sauce war.
Here is the thing. It has happened before and I have always voiced my opinion on the subject. But when it happened this weekend, I may have gotten a bit more vocal than usual because it just occurred at the wrong time, you know when you are having one of those days.
So the thing is that there is a place in town that, in my opinion, has some of the best hot sauce for their burritos. It is not a chips and hot sauce sauce, it is a burrito hot sauce. It actually is what I prefer with some of their Mexican delicacies. Anyway, I go by this weekend and order several things, among these, two burritos.
Okay, so when you order a burrito, you get it with a cup of hot sauce. Most people, me being one of them, use one whole cup of hot sauce on one burrito. But when you order two burritos you would expect to get two hot sauces, one per, right? Well, wrong! What they do is they give you one hot sauce for two burritos, this is what the young man chose to do this weekend.
I was not happy. I asked him, again, why I was just getting one hot sauce with two burritos? His response, and I could not believe that he gave this respond to a customer, "Those are the rules and I just follow the rules."
Can you believe this is what he said? He proceeded to tell me that if I wanted a second sauce I would have to pay 25 cents for it. Now a quarter is not alot and I could have bought it, but that is not the point. The point, and I asked him this, is if I had ordered two separate burritos, would I have received two hot sauces? He basically had no answers, just his smirky attitude.
This time I did not buy the extra hot sauce. I have in the past because I had actually wanted more than the alloted one per, but this time I chose to let him keep his sauce.
Now, my question is, was I asking too much to expect that they actually give me the extra sauce as if I was buying two separate burritos? Or maybe a better question would be, is business good enough to lose a long-time customer because of a quarter?
Until next time,

We loved the idea we do for my hubby's family reunion(Evans)
every year! They started a auction, so that NO ONE has to pay for the rental or use of a campground or building where we hold the reunion! This has worked out so great! We even have left over money for paper goods & food & stamps & other stuff for the party!
SO we decide to try the same idea for the Griffin reunion!
This is my honey Kevin...he ALWAYS does a carving every year for the Evans reunion...A BIG SELLER & a cheap project! (he looks for & gathers stumps around here & brings them home until they start to talk to him & let's him know what they were "MEANT to be!) so cold hard cash is not really involoved.......just a sweaty job!
It is going to be a bear, I will post the finished prject as soon as he gets done
These are recipe card I made to go with a treasure trove of happy little things> These cards will go in a gift box with, a darling apron (shilo made) Strawberry jam (cece made) & some bread (cec ebought) & a darling matching tea towel shilo made.
The cards (made by me) The apron & towel (Shilo
made) & a bottle of homemade Barbecue sauce AND "Jack Daniels" Barbecue glaze (made by me) Kevy carved the cutest Pig & Skull for the lids!) I will show you those

In 2008, Governor Sebelius signed House Bill 2916 into law which initiated a new State of Kansas compensation system for classified employees. Perhaps the most important aspect of the new compensation system is the new Performance Management Process.
Under the new Performance Management Process, all State of Kansas classified employees will be consistently evaluated within all agencies. The new Performance Management Process was implemented in 2009.
With the new Performance Management Process, mid-year discussions and annual evaluations are conducted on a set range of dates. For most employees the first mid-year discussions will occur between April 1 and June 30 and annual evaluations will be due between October 1 and December 23 every year.
The Performance Management Process Form (pdf) is to be used to document the planning, coaching and reviewing processes. The form is available in multiple formats on the Review Forms page. Refer to the instructions for completing the performance management process form.

Israelis fear Netanyahu is meddling in U.S. politics
JERUSALEM – It is a taboo for Israeli leaders to give even the slightest hint of favoritism in politics in the United States, Israel's closest ally. So some Israelis are squirming over a perception that their prime minister is siding with Republican Mitt Romney in the U.S. presidential race, in the belief he will take a harder line on archenemy Iran if elected.
With President Barack Obama holding a narrow lead in opinion polls, Benjamin Netanyahu's perceived strategy looks risky to Israelis who fear their alliance with the U.S. could be in trouble if the incumbent wins.
"If our prime minister doesn't get along with their leader, it will hurt our relations," said Shai Hugi, 20, a car rental clerk in Jerusalem. "The United States is Israel's best ally, and it's always good that you have a strong friend behind you."

EVERYTHING from potsherds and projectile points left by the Paleolithic Indians who were Long Island's earliest inhabitants to modern weapons of war have been preserved as evidence of past achievements here. But they tell only part of the story. Other chapters await rediscovery.
Inertia or sentimental attachment are often responsible for preserving these artifacts, whose value can be monetary, historic or both. In other cases, curators' and historians' intuition, detective work and tenacity have resulted in spectacular finds.
Here are some of the old treasures that have re-emerged in recent years:
A Family Portrait
William Sidney Mount, ''The Mount Family,'' circa 1845. The Museums at Stony Brook. 751-0066.
In conjunction with the traveling exhibition ''William Sidney Mount: Painter of American Life,'' organized by the Museums at Stony Brook for the American Federation of Arts, the museums' president, Deborah J. Johnson, published an article on Mount (1807-1868) in the August 1998 issue of Antiques magazine. She included a photograph of a Mount painting, missing since soon after it was documented in 1920.

SXSW 2008 Day 2: Thursday
Yesterday I started my day at Emo's, but it was so crowded and I wasn't really digging the bands I heard so, I dipped out across the street to the Brooklyn Vegan party at Emo's Annex (there are about 700 different Emo's venues) because the BV party the night before was so much fun. I caught a band called WHY? that was pretty good.
After that, I decided to just walk up and down the main strip and listen to the music coming from each bar and try to discover some bands I hadn't heard of. Outside some Irish pub I heard a really intriguing band, so I went inside to check them out. It was a band from Dublin, Ireland called Delorentos. They were total dance-rock, like Bloc Party before they started getting all soft and lame. I got a live video, but Google video is acting hella lame today, so I can't post the plethora of vids i took yesterday until a later date. But I did manage to find their official video(although I don't think it is their best song):
After some more walking around I heard another band that sounded promising from a dive called Agave. The Brooklyn, New York trio Appomattox rocked really hard, doing loud post-punky rock.
After that it was time to head back to the Annex, where I caught Men, members of Le Tigre doing the laptop DJ thing. The day before, me and Biggie C were discussing this new trend where bands go DJ and how most of the time they aren't that good at it, but this was an exception as they rocked the dance floor hard.
After that, it was time for Phosphorescent, one of the artists I was most excited about seeing at SXSW. He put on a great performance, doing much heavier versions of his stuff than I would have guessed considering how soft and low-key the album is.
Near the end of the show, I noticed Matthew Houck kept looking at someone in the crowd and cracking up laughing. I finally heard someone screaming stuff at him and turned around. It turned out to be Miles Seaton of Akron/Family acting like he was an obsessed fan. For the Phosphorescent finale, he came down into the audience and sang to the Akron/Family boys:
After that, we stuck around and caught Holy Fuck. I'm not much of a dancer and these days it takes something really special to get me to throw down, but Holy Fuck is just the perfect combination of dance music and noise for me to get really into it. You ATLiens who will be around town on Monday really need to go down to The Drunken Unicorn and catch them playing with A Place To Bury Strangers and Atlanta's badasses All The Saints.
After a short break in the onslaught of great shows, I went and caught Islands. They played almost nothing but new material, and it sounds great. I took a ton of videos, so expect those to show up here sometime in the next few weeks.
After that, it was on to Mohawk's patio to catch one of then night's best line-ups. I got there just in time to catch the end of another Phosphorescent set, where he closed with a 10 minute vocal looping jam. After that, I discovered another great act from California called Bodies Of Water. Really cool stuff with lots of vocal harmonizations. They will be at The Earl Monday night with Sons And Daughters so there is another hot Atlanta St. Patty's Day show you can catch.
Then it was time for Evangelicals. I have been in total love with their new album, so I had been really hyped up for this show. They did not disappoint. They came out with massive blacklights and a fog machine, dressed in a style that was half goth, half candy-raver, and went through songs off the new record. Again, expect many live videos to pop up around here in the near future.
Next up on the outdoor stage was Bon Iver. They went through a handful of the beautiful songs on For Emma, Forever Ago, and wow did they sound good. If you have yet to pick up this album, you are missing out.
After that, we switched up things entirely by seeing Indian Jewelry. I would describe their sound as Liars meets Atlanta's Subliminator. It was a spectacle of strobe lights and minimalist percussionists that were there more to dance than to make music. Very interesting show.
We closed out the night at Emo's Outside stage. I got there just in time for the end of Islands' set, but this time they closed with the amazing "Swans (Life After Death)". Unfortunately, the one dark moment of the entire festival came as some sound guy walked out on stage with a few minutes left in the song right and the PA shut off. They actually cut off their last song. Nick Thorburn found a microphone that was still hooked into the PA and yelled "Fuck SXSW!" Everyone started booing, it was a crazy scene.
After that debacle, We ended our night with an awesome set from Austin's The Octopus Project.
It's on to more music, so I'll holla at you later.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America.
78% of their clinics are in minority communities.
Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America.
Are Blacks being targeted? Isn't that genocide? Blacks are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?
From Black Genocide.

Introducing Goris
The endlessly winding roads that leap through the gorges over the mountains of Syunik come to a major junction at Goris, making this an inevitable stop between Yerevan, Stepanakert and the Iranian border. But it's hardly a place to pass through – Goris is a destination in itself. Boasting fine stone houses with arched windows and balconies on tree-lined avenues, it's a great place for strolling and chatting with locals. The pace of life is slow: there is little commercial or industrial activity, or even tourist kitsch, so it really feels like you've stepped back in time. Goris is known for its variety of homemade fruit oghee including the deliciously potent mulberry and Cornelian cherry (hone) oghee – explore the shuka on Syuniki Poghots or ask at a B&B to find some.
There is plenty to see around the town too, including a weird cave city on the other bank of the river and equally bizarre sets of volcanic pillars that spear through the steep grassy slopes above town. Longer day trips can be made to Tatev, the Vorotan Canyon and the caves at Khndzoresk.
There is a fine selection of hotels and B&Bs in town, plus a couple of museums and a busy little shuka. It makes a good place to break a long journey between Yerevan and Karabakh – plan on spending a few days to soak it all in.

If only they could have saved some of those runs … On April 29, the Owen County High School girls softball scored 13 runs in a win at Henry County. The 13-8 victory was the team's second straight after beating Shelby County High School the week before. In the two wins, the Lady Rebels scored 22 total runs. They could have used some of those runs later in the week. On Tuesday, the team traveled to Frankfort to take on Western Hills High School. The Lady Wolverines is a team playing well at this point in the season.
The Owen County High School girls track team competed in a pair of meets last week. They would finish fifth in both the Scott County All-Comers Meet and the NCKC championships. On April 30, the team traveled to Georgetown for the Scott County All-Comers Meet. In the 100-meter dash, it was Haley DeCandia, 16th; Amber Gover, 22nd; Andi Burford, 23rd; Nicole Jacobs, 37th; Samantha Tamplin, 41st; and Helena Kramer, 48th. For the 200-meter dash, Gover finished 11th; DeCandia, 16th; Burford, 21st; Paula Rivera, 22nd; and Veronica Chisholm, 28th.
There are some streaks teams want to end - namely losing streaks. The Owen County High School baseball team ended such a streak last week when they hosted Walton-Verona at Dunavent Field. The Rebels had dropped eight-straight contests while Walton-Verona entered the game having won four in a row. One of the games in the middle of both streaks was a Bearcat 13-7 win over the Rebels on April 30 in Verona. Owen County would get a measure of revenge as they defeated the visitors 5-3 to improve its record to 14-13 on the season.
The Owen County High School girls track team headed to Danville Saturday for the Class A Region 5 Meet at Admiral Stadium. Thanks to some solid performances, the team was able to finish in a tie for sixth place. The team placed eighth last year. Some of the top individual performances included Haley DeCandia, who finished second in the high jump for the second year in a row. Paula Rivera placed second in the discus.
Edward A. Webster of Owenton has been commissioned at Kentucky Colonel by Gov. Steve Beshear on March 5, 2013. It is the highest award given by the commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentucky colonelships are commissioned for an individual's contribution to his community, state, or nation and for special achievements. Edward is the son of Roy and Brenda Webster of Owenton; the grandson of Catherine and the late Walter Webster of Owenton and the late Robert and Mildred Furnish of Ghent.
A week that began on a sour note finished strong for the Owen County High School softball team. The Lady Rebels lost their first two games of the week before finishing with wins on Thursday and Saturday. On May 7, the team traveled to take on Walton-Verona. The Lady Bearcats would score in every inning but the fourth and limit the Lady Rebels to just three hits in the Walton-Verona 7-0 victory. It was the third time this season Owen County has been shutout.
HotShots - 2 vs. Clemons - 2
Blaine Spencer scored first for the HotShots when he powered the ball to the back of the net in the second quarter. Luke Myers played incredible defense for the HotShots stopping many scoring opportunities for Team Clemons. Team Clemons took the lead during the third quarter but the HotShots were determined to score again. Price Griffin shot one through the defense during the fourth quarter to end the game in a tie. Big Monsters - 5 vs. Team Ward - 2
Alice Frances McManama, 83, of Owenton passed away, Monday, May 6, 2013, at the Owenton Manor. She was the daughter of the late Willie and Alma Rice Riddle. Survivor include her stepson, Gary McManama of Fountain Run. The family will receive friends Wednesday, May 8, 2013, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Main Street location of McDonald & New Funeral Homes. The funeral services will begin at 2 p.m. Burial will be in the Owenton Cemetery.

How to make tiramisu that's to die for! A heavenly Italian dessert with alternating layers of rich mascarpone and ladyfingers dipped in espresso, laced with rum. Top it off with cocoa powder and what more could you want? This is a luscious tiramisu made with generous mascarpone, bold espresso, and noticeable dark rum flavors, not a light perfectly stiff tiramisu full of whipped air and barely there flavors.
For quality tiramisu, use quality ingredients— get authentic mascarpone and ladyfingers, marked "Made in Italy." You can find both at Whole Foods. Our tests using various mascarpone cheeses made outside of Italy just didn't cut it, including ones made in perfectly nice parts of the USA. For the ladyfingers, we tried Trader Joe's and Whole Foods brands, but again, they didn't measure up to the Italian brand made in Italy. See photo below. Also, make a good quality espresso or simply buy it from a local coffee shop. The result is worth the effort.
Our rich, moist recipe for tiramisu is sinful but oh-so-good. So tempting, you'll hear yourself saying... Must. Have. More.
6 large eggs, separate into yolks & whites
2 pk (8.8-oz/ea) mascarpone (made in Italy)
2 pk ladyfingers (hard, 24 fingers/box)
(Bonomi is a good brand)
1/2 cup dark rum
1/4 cup dark rum, separate from above
1 cup ultra fine baker's sugar
2 TBSP ultra fine sugar, divided, set aside
1 cup espresso
1 TBSP fine cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Leave eggs and mascarpone on counter for 30 minutes to allow to come to room temperature. (Egg whites whisk to full volume at room temperature.) Get a 9x9 or a 7x11 baking dish, or individual trifle bowls, ready for layering.
To make the espresso dipping solution, mix espresso with 1/2 cup dark rum and 1 TBSP sugar. Set aside.
In first mixer bowl, beat separated egg yolks with 1 cup sugar in a mixer stand on medium setting until well blended. Will be creamy pale yellow. Add mascarpone and 1/4 cup dark rum. Beat again until creamy and well blended. Set aside.
In second mixer bowl, combine separated egg whites and cream of tartar. Whisk on low-medium setting to thoroughly combine ingredients first. Then move on to high setting until stiff (could be 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on temperature, humidity, and size of eggs). When you take the whisk out, the whites should make a nice stiff peak without falling over.
Then gently fold whisked egg whites into mascarpone mixture, a third at a time just until blended. Don't over blend or the egg whites will deflate.
Give the espresso/rum solution a quick stir again. Test your brand of ladyfingers with a little dip into the solution. Some brands soak up quite fast while others take longer to moisten. The goal is to have a moist ladyfinger, not a soggy one. We tested 3 brands below and
was our winning pick. An Italian brand made in Italy. The other two were Trader Joe's and Whole Foods store brands.
To make the layers of tiramisu, do a quick split-second dip with each ladyfinger (full submersion) then line the bottom of the cake pan with a single layer. You may need to align them in different directions to fill gaps. If there are areas of the ladyfingers that don't look moist, brush some espresso solution on top.
Pour about half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the first layer of ladyfingers. Smooth out the surface, filling in the corners until fully covered. Line a second layer of dipped ladyfingers. Pour the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top and smooth out the surface.
Fill a fine sieve with cocoa powder and lightly powder the top of the tiramisu. Cover with lid or plastic wrap
(make sure plastic wrap is taut so as not to touch the cocoa powder)
and chill for 8 hours to overnight. To serve, slice up a piece of chilled tiramisu and dust a light fresh coat of cocoa powder on top. Enjoy!

Informal Interactive Hearings point to political will to fully achieve MDG by 2015
12th July 2010, New York - UN Headquarters in New York held the Informal Interactive Hearings of the General Assembly with NGO, Civil Society organisations and the Private sector from 14th to 25th June. The purpose of the hearings was to provide input for the preparatory process of the MDG + 10 Summit to take place on 20-22 September in New York.
At the hearings, high-profile international experts discussed a number of issues among which equal and inclusive partnerships, accountability in the fight against poverty, sustaining development and withstanding crises, drafting and implementing new policies aimed at delivering on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and finding balance between local actions, national strategies and global structures.
Participants underlined the significance of the MDGs as a useful mobilisation tool and unifying force in development. Many speakers reaffirmed the message of the Secretary-General that the MDGs rest upon the Millennium Declaration and are an expression of basic human rights.
It was argued at the meeting that if MDGs are to be beneficial for developing countries and their most vulnerable citizens, values such as non-discrimination, equality, equity, participation and accountability must come to the foreground. In particular, more attention needs to be directed towards realising gender equality since without actively involving women the 2015 goals are likely to be missed.
Attendants were reminded of some good practices that should be followed. Brazil with its Fome Zero (Zero Hunger) programme helped reduce child malnutrition by 73%, India with the National Rural Employment Guarantee (NREG) scheme that helped reach some 40 million households living below the poverty line and Malawi with agricultural subsidies to small farmers that significantly boosted productivity were cited as examples worth replicating. These types of examples reinforced the view that the MDGs are achievable as long as there is political will as it is ultimately the governments that are vested with resources and have their citizens' mandate to carry out necessary changes. The MDG + 10 Summit will provide an opportunity to further discuss the role of States in achieving the MDGs.
The MDG+10 Summit is a High-level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals whose primary objective is to accelerate progress towards achieving the eight MDGs by 2015. The Summit is expected to comprehensively review the achievements, best practices and lessons learned as well as the obstacles, gaps and challenges remaining and opportunities that lead to concrete strategies for action.

Highland Park Village
Highland Park Village was the nation's only self-contained shopping center when it first opened in 1931, and, nearly seven decades later, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark. Today, the center's elegant Spanish architecture is accented by sweeping door arches, red tile roofs, and an ornate fountain. The complex is an emporium luxury stores, including Stella McCartney, Christian Dior, Trina Turk, Arkis, Lela Rose, Ralph Lauren (the largest in Texas), Jimmy Choo (one of only two in the state), Christian Louboutin, Rag & Bone, Harry Winston (one of only eight in the country), and Chanel. (Coming soon are Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent Paris.) Shoppers can also find specialty goods, like artisan cheese from Molto Formaggio, expertly composed floral arrangements from Avant Garden, and authentic Italian soaps from the LAFCO New York apothecary. Upscale seafood restaurant Cafe Pacific is a longtime favorite on the Park Cities dining scene, and the patio on Patrizio is a perfect perch for people watching on a nice day. Mi Cocina brings in the masses for Tex-Mex, but newer Village Marquee Grill and Bistro 31 spots offer finer dining and after hours, a social cocktail scene. The Village Theater, which closed in late 2009 for renovations, is now reopen for a family outing or date night.
A stroll through the gorgeous center is a must for fashion and architecture lovers—and those who wish to catch a glimpse of the Dallas elite. During the winter holiday season, the trees in HPV are lit up with dazzling white lights, and tours of the lights in the surrounding Highland Park neighborhood are available by horse-drawn carriage.

Dressing to impress at your job interview is the most important thing you can do. Your potential employer will make a decision about you on that alone. You have 60 seconds to make a good first impression. What you wear is vitally important to your job search.
In this respect, is conservative always better? No, not always. When dressing to impress at your job interview, you must first decide what your industry's standard is. Is it a conservative standard or does using some current flair help you? In most situations a business suit is the most appropriate choice.
Men's and women's business suits should be solid color for first interviews. Both should use a coordinating color shirt or blouse and matching shoes. The shoes should be in good condition without worn heels and scuff marks.
Depending on the industry the shirt or blouse should be current and fashionable. You can go bolder in retail or fashion merchandising industries and understated in industries that are more conservative.
You must have a full understanding of what the industry standard is. Most often if there is a casual day at your potential employer's office on the day of your interview, they will tell you that. That does not mean that you should wear jeans.
Always dress better than you think you need to. Be cautious with bright colors and hems. You want them to remember you for your talent, not your clothes. You only have one chance at a first impression, don't blow it by dressing inappropriately.

New Toxic Sludge PR and Lobbying Effort Gets UnderwayTuesday, 20 March 2012 14:36 By Sara Jerving, PR Watch | Report A trade association known for using the terms "compost," "organic," and "biosolids" to describe sewage sludge is investing in a new public relations campaign to influence policymakers and the public. The US Composting Council(USCC), which was founded by the disposable diaper industry, will be expanding its long-standing efforts to "rebrand" sewage sludge, which is increasingly disposed of on agriculture crops and through garden centers without telling the public that their food is being grown in medical, industrial, and human waste. Earlier this year, the USCC announced that it hired a PR firm, Colehour + Cohen, to help with the rebranding efforts and that it will also be increasing lobbying efforts. The word "compost" traditionally has applied to vegetable material and scraps gardeners and farmers collect to re-use on crops and gardens. The USCC uses the term "compost" on an industrial scale to include sewage sludge, as well as other commercial and municipal waste. Trash Talk: Sewage sludge is a problem we all need to think about
Trash Talk delves into some nasty stuff occasionally, but Toronto resident Maureen Reilly has been doing just that almost daily for 15 years. Her subject: sewage and sewage sludge. We spoke to her over a year ago and thought it timely to check back to find out what's happening with the waste we all help generate. Indeed, just 120 kilometres northwest of Toronto, Dundalk residents are challenging plans to build a facility that will take sludge, some from Toronto, mix it with septage and industrial waste, turn it into a liquidy fertilizer product for spreading on farmers' land. Reilly has immersed herself in disposal issues ever since she fought (successfully) to keep industrial paper sludge off pasture surrounding her country house near Cannington. Her experience with regulatory authorities, politicians and waste haulers changed her life. Reilly has made it her mission to cull the media for information about sewage treatment technologies, sludge controversies, industry misbehaviour and failures, scientific studies, environmental contaminants, hygiene and health issues. She sends these reports, with critical commentary, to subscribers of her Sludge Watch email service in a dozen countries. (To join, Google Sludge Watch.) She and many others believe spreading urban sewage sludge on agricultural land is a grave mistake given the contaminants and pathogens that end up in sewers because of our chemicalized and medicated lifestyles and effluents from hospitals and industry. The impacts of these substances on soils, health and ecosystems are not understood, and as Reilly says, "Of the 10 of thousands of toxic compounds that could be in sewage, the sludge is tested for less than 12."
Tougher sentence sought in ex-Detroit City Council aide's corruption caseFBI surveillance video of John Clark and James Rosendall, Jr. The video was gathered on Feb. 20, 2008 as part of the FBI's investigation of Synagro Technologies' sludge hauling contract with the city of Detroit. Detroit— A corrupt former Detroit City Council aide should get a stiffer prison sentence because he caused more damage to the city than a drug dealer, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday. The U.S. Attorney's Office is pushing for up to 16 months in prison for John Clark, who was caught on FBI surveillance video pocketing cash from a contractor. Clark was a onetime aide to Detroit City Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr. "In a real sense, the damage done by the defendant's contribution to corruption in Detroit is far more serious than the damage done by some of the drug offenders sentenced in federal court who receive far more serious sentences of imprisonment," Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gardey wrote Wednesday. Marcellus Shale & Sewage SludgeBy Darree Sicher Who Took A Dump On Your Dinner Plate?Marcellus Shale drilling looks like big money for Pennsylvania, a tsunami of riches and fuel independence. But there is concern, not only about fresh water quality after the discharge of the known toxic chemicals used in the Marcellus Shale drilling process, but also with the land that will receive the remaining waste. Will the toxic chemicals used in the drilling process be made safe through the "treatment of waste water"? Millions of people rely on Pennsylvania watershed areas to provide their drinking water via rivers, lakes, wells and purchased bottled water. Water is also necessary to sustain our food supply. Although Pennsylvania's population is sixth in the nation, citizens throughout America will be affected by the contamination from the Marcellus Shale drilling – just follow the trail of rain water run-off and sewage sludge/biosolids, the equal opportunity pollution sources. Human Feces Used as Fertilizer Has Neighbors FumingLocal farms are using fertilizer made up of human sewage and residents say they can't drink their water because of contamination.
Residents of a Lynn Township neighborhood are upset by the fertilizer spread on farm fields nearby. They say the fertilizer made of human waste has seeped into their drinking water. Dark Soil: Ending the Land Application of Biosolids In AmericaBy Jason Fowler on 11/30/2011 I came home the other night to the thick stench of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on the wind. The trucks had been driving past our cabin for days- and sometimes into the night. I went to collect eggs and close the chickens in as I do every night. I walked in the crisp but putrid night air with a handkerchief around my face. The smell was assaulting but what was even more disturbing was the realization that the real assault is against my family, my neighbors, the land and the future health of our community. While you may have never heard of biosolids the battle to stop it's application on agricultural and public lands has been raging for many years. Biosolids, according to the EPA, is said to be: "…nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of sewage sludge (the name for the solid, semisolid or liquid untreated residue generated during the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment facility). When treated and processed, sewage sludge becomes biosolids which can be safely recycled and applied as fertilizer to sustainably improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth." In the same breathe they admit: "Thirty years ago, thousands of American cities dumped their raw sewage directly into our nation's rivers, lakes, and bays. Today, because of improved wastewater treatment, our waterways have been cleaned up and made safer for recreation and seafood harvest. And, because of the strict Federal and state standards, the treated residuals from wastewater treatment (biosolids) can be safely recycled. Local governments make the decision whether to recycle the biosolids as a fertilizer, incinerate it or bury it in a landfill." If biosolids are so valuable why would it be incinerated or buried in a landfill as a waste product? 'Urine power' tests at UWE in Bristol are successfulResearch into producing electricity from urine has been carried out by scientists at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. It is claimed the publication of a research paper into the viability of urine as a fuel for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) is a world first. They say tests have produced small amounts of energy, but more research could produce "useful" levels of power. Dr Ioannis Ieropoulos said he was "excited by the potential of the work". MFCs contain the same kind of bacteria that is found in soil, the human gut or waste water from sewers. 'Regulating the flow' The bacteria anaerobically (without oxygen) respire just like any other living organism, and this process gives off electrons. Those electrons are then passed through an electrode and a measure of electricity is generated. Bacteria feed on the urine, which they effectively use as a fuel to continue to breathe and give off electrons. "Urine is chemically rich in substances favourable to the MFCs," said Dr Ieropoulos. "Through this study... we were able to show that by miniaturisation and multiplication of the number of MFCs into a stack and regulating the flow of urine, it may be possible to look at scales of use that have the potential to produce useful levels of power, for example in a domestic or small village setting." from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-15636544?utm_source=feedbur... SSAN Tables at The Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke UniversityStudents in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University had an opportunity to learn about the problem of sewage sludge and its effects on water, air and soil thanks to an information table set up by SSAN at a recent film series event held in the Levine Science Research Center on the Duke campus. The film series was a fundraiser for the Nicholas School's Environmental Internship Fund which was founded by a group of Nicholas School students to facilitate environmental internship supplemental funding. Film Naming Contest Winner & Industry Attention Drawn to VideoOur film naming contest concludes. The winning name - submitted by our own Nancy Holt - is SEWAGE SLUDGE ON OUR FARMS: A TOXIC BETRAYAL So Nancy wins the prize, a beautiful set of pottery. In other news...a sewage sludge industry newsletter (North East Biosolids and Residuals Association) has cited SSAN and its film. In their newsletter, they make the statement "...current evidence certainly suggests biosolids use on soils in accordance with regulations and best management practices is safe for public health and the environment." It is amazing that NEBRA says land applications of sewage sludge is safe because the EPA will not say that. The reason given by the EPA for no answer of safety to humans, animals or the environment? Because they do not know. (Tracy Mehan, EPA Assistant Administrator, US-EPA, October 29, 2003) and according to the EPA today, the EPA itself does not promote land applications. Documentary Video Naming Contest
So...we have decided to create a contest for the best documentary video name. The contest ends on Friday, September 30th at 5pm Eastern time. A panel of judges comprised of the SSAN coordinating committee will select the winning name. The prize is a one-hundred ($100) gift certificate to Eddie Smith Porcelain pottery. Here's what Debbie Nichol's has to say about Eddie's pottery: Please submit one or more names for our documentary video via our contact us form. |
NewsThe toxic sewage sludge prevention and mitigation community lost one of its greatest activists - Maureen Reilly died on December 11, 2012. Maureen was a respected researcher and educator whose contributions were valued across Canada, in the United States and Europe. She was the editor of Sludge Watch, an online newsletter with a worldwide readership. From an on-line obituary "...for almost two decades, Maureen has been an inspired, tireless and preeminent researcher and campaigner against land application of sludge, assisting local communities throughout North America fight industrial and municipal proposals to re-brand toxic effluents of various types and consistencies and dump them as 'fertilizer' and 'beneficial biosolids' onto our food, aquifers, into our lives and bodies."

THE BAND: The Shape Garth's In
Garth Hudson, the oldest surviving member of The Band, turned 75 in August -- and he's celebrating that milestone by working on a new album.
His wife Maud says, "He is very mysterious about whether he'll keep it 100 percent acoustic or utilize his modules with his sounds. Personally, I am thrilled to witness Mr. Hudson in a recording situation where he can play whatever he wants. We are terribly excited to begin documenting Garth Hudson during the year of his 75th birthday."
Robbie Robertson is the only other surviving member of The Band, and their youngest. He'll turn 70 on July 5th. Richard Manuel died in 1986, Rick Danko in 1999 and Levon Helm in 2012.

General Discussion / Re: Help a poet out! (How to go about...)
« on: April 24, 2013, 01:31:32 PM »So my Questions:
-How do you go about finding individual Slams?
-How do you go about finding features/Venues, so you can travel, and make money at least just to get there and back?
-How do you spread your work here? Is there a section?
I can help assuage your fears because I SAW you win at the Green Mill and you are indeed talented. Here's some answers to your specicif questions:
1) There is a slam map on this site at http://www.poetryslam.com/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/profile/map&map=1&gid=2&reset=1&Itemid=127
It may not be 100% up to date, but it should help you get started. For big regional events, you are right in the middle of the Rustbelt Poetry Slam. So you should check that out, too.
2) That's a tricky question because so much of that is networking. Again, refer to the slam map to get started, start making connections, and get good video/press of your performances. Some venues take unsolicited offers, others want a vetting process, and still more are invite only
3) This is not a great place to post work and get feedback. Other places like www.gotpoetry.com and even facebook (tagging people in notes) are more effective
Good luck and I hope that helps!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2013
Where did the English Feasy family come from? What is the English Feasy family crest and coat of arms? When did the Feasy family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Feasy family history? The vast movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066 brought the Feasy family name to the British Isles. They lived in Northampton. The name, however, derives from the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Vassy, Normandy. One of the first records of the name was Robertus Invesiatus, Lascivus which appeared in the Domesday Book [1] in Essex [2]. Other records show the name was originally De Vesci, which was a baronial name, a branch of the De Burgh family. Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Feasey, Feasy, Fessey, Fassey, Fessys, Fressis, Veasey, Vassey, Vassy, Vesci, Vezey, Vezay, Vesey, Vessey and many more. First found in Northampton where Robert de Vassy (Veci) and his brother Ivo were granted nineteen Lordships in that county and overlapping into Warwick, Lincoln, and Leicester, by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Ivo (John) won the hand of Alda, daughter of Gilbert, Lord of Alnwick in Northumberland and the family claim considerable prominence as the Lords of Vesey from which Lords Fitzgerald and Vesei claim descent. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Feasy research. Another 407 words(29 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1313, 1500, 1589 and 1661 are included under the topic Early Feasy History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Feasy Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the Feasy family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 59 words(4 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products. For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Feasy or a variant listed above were: Andrew Veasey settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1876; William Veazie settled in Massachusetts in 1640; Nathaniel Feazey settled in Somers Islands in 1662. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Sub hoc signo vinces Motto Translation: Under this sign we shall conquer.
