By Richard Littlemore • Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - 10:51
In a desperate effort to distract attention from the real issue, Steve McIntyre and one of his more loquacious acolytes have renewed their attack on the fabled hockey stick - cheering themselves hoarse over their one, small "victory" in climate science debate, even while the science itself continues to pass them by.
Mann's Hockey Stick Graph
Michael Mann's Hockey Stick graph, above, was placed prominently in the Third Assessment Review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in part because it showed so clearly how temperatures over the last millennium rode along fairly steadily for hundreds of years and then spiked in the latter part of the 20th century (approximating the shape of a hockey stick).
Steve McIntyre, an amateur statistician and retired mining stock promoter found in Mann's work what he argued was a statistical anomaly, challenged Mann and was actually successful in getting Mann to submit a correction to the journal (I think it was Science) that originally published the graph. The excited chorus of "Ah ha!" rang through the deniersphere. Mann, they said, had "admitted he was wrong" (albeit on one small detail). And therefore, we could all go home and stop worrying about climate change.
This is stupid for a host of reasons. First, even Edward Wegman, the statistician who the (anti-climate change policy) Republicans "invited" to critique the "stick" agreed that Mann's original conclusions were reasonable, even if not absolutely verifiable beyond about 400 years.
But more obviously, the stick has been replicated time and again, using different termperature proxies and different methodologies. And guess what? In every instance, the image looks like a hockey stick. And in NO instance has McIntyre or any of his cronies so much as peeped about the credibility of these pieces of research.
So, even if you wanted to walk away from Mann's work (and we don't; it was good work overall), there is still an overwhelming body of evidence that the deniers fear or fail to recognize.
To whit: the image at the top is from a paper by Jones, et al , that appeared in the journal Science in 2001. It's based on multiple proxies, including tree rings, ice cores, corals and historical records, and like the Wegman-approved Mann hockey stick, goes back 400 years.
D'Arrigio, et al
But don't stop there. What about the next image above. It's from a paper by D'Ariggo, et al, published in the Joutrnal of Geophysical Atmospheres in 2006, also uses tree rings, but extends for the full thousand years.
Briffa, et al
Or the next thousand-year image (above), from a paper by Briffa, et al, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research in 2001 and based again on tree rings.
Then there's the image (above) from a paper by Oerlemans, based on glacier records and published in the April 2005 issue of Science.
Jansen, et al
But let's not stop there. What about the next graph (above) from Jansen, et al, published in the Fourth IPCC Review in 2007.
Moberg, et al
And as we're on a role, why not also look at the next graph, from Moberg, et al, based on tree rings and lake and ocean sediment and published in Nature in 2005.
Wilson, et al
Then, we might reasonably consider the next graph, from Wilson, et al, more tree rings, different methodology, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres in 2007.
Jouzan, et al
Finally, why not look at Jouzel, et al, (Note that this graph goes in the other direction) which covers not 1,000 years but 800,000, and which seems to show a hockey stick shape for about 110,000 years. Oh yeah, this was published in Science in August of 2007, ample time for the climate "experts" at ClimateAudit to use their vast statistical skills to identify an anomalies or debunk that which bears debunking.
Alas, no. Despite it's quite pleasing new design, ClimateAudit is silent on all but the Mann graph and really has had NOTHING NEW TO SAY since 2003.
So, what do you say, Steve McIntyre, Bishop Hill, Chris Monckton and all the others who love to hold so closely to the Hockey Stick. Have you any legitimate criticism of all the other science that supports Mann's work? Any criticism at all?
Or would you prefer to huddle about like has-been high school football stars, forever reliving that one great play - imagining, even today, that it made a difference?

Amazing Summary
To whomever assembled this article summary, I thank you. I have downloaded all of the original pdf's of these journals, and I will read them. They are quality articles, and very much apropo to the subject at hand.
In observing the noisy postings below, I notice that most of the postings are dated within one to two days after the article was posted. In parusing the scientific articles linked to (the real articles in pdf form, and not the summaries), I notice that they are very long and difficult to read. There are eight articles linked to, and to properly read, digest, and cross reference them, it would take most people several days. I therefore conclude that most of the posters below have NOT read the articles, and thus have NOTHING USEFUL OR INSIGHTFUL TO SAY ABOUT THE SCIENTIFIC ISSUES AT HAND.
Remember people, to properly criticize an idea, you must first understand it. I doubt any of these posters have ANY real understanding of how paleoscience is studied.

Enlarged Images ...
coming soon. I have wrestled unsuccessfully with our blog software to get these images posted at a useful size, and now someone with greater technical skill is working on it.
As to Wahl&Ammann, it was a trenchant criticism of that new paper that got me thinking about all this in the first place. I Rather than get into the "Oh yeah!?" conversation with McIntyre and Co., I thought I would stick to this (still incomplete) list of really excelle nt sources, none of whom have been the least bit controversial.
One other thing, though. McIntyre keeps obsessing about how straight the shaft of the hockey stick might be - which I might accept to a greater or lesser extent is an interesting side issue. There are margins of error and rounding challenges aplenty when considering proxy sources that reflect temperature data 600 to 1,000 years ago.
What McIntyre can't contest is the steepness of the blade, the evidence for which is incontrovertible (unless McIntyre wants to deny the evidence of his own thermometer).

Tree rings
I predict the resident inactivists will be screaming about corrupt tree ring proxies next (there's an issue with bristlecone pines in that they're sensitive to more than temperature; the details are too technical for me to truly understand, but are covered in the 2006 NRC report on the MBH graph). As a result, if you're editing the post at all, explicitly call out that some of these do not use tree rings and still agree with the same conclusions.
This is secondary to the true point – that ClimateAudit et al still get hung up on the methodology of a decade-old primary study and ignore the vindication of its conclusion along with its subsequent and oft-repeated replicatability.

Attempting to resurrect the
Attempting to resurrect the Hockey Stick Lazarus-like is likely futile.
Many of the above mentioned "independent" proxies are not so independent at all and many are in fact closely related, as has been mentioned many, many times. Trees, as temperature proxies, or "treemometers" if you wish, are fraught with various issues which detract from their reliability.
Concerning criticism of Manns' work, there are very recents posts there further critiquing the Stick.
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Sorry Brian D
I'm sure that Paul S really MEANT to read your comment before posting his predictable criticism.
And he apparently missed the references to lake sediment, ocean sediment, coral, glaciers, historical documents and Antarctic ice cores, all of which corroborate the "treenometer" readings.
Perhaps Paul's job of writing distracting posts on climate conscious websites doesn't allow him time to, say, look at the graphs, click on the links or really in any way pay attention to the points being raised in the original post and comments.
Too bad.

Not only does Bishop Hill's article-
-address the poor science and conclusion of the hockey stick but demonstrates the corrupt means Caspar Amman, Eugene Wahl, and Michael Mann used to get it included in IPCC's report.
I hate to see the value of science damaged in the eyes of the public which is exactly whats is going to happen when this comes to light. Mistakes are expected (thats what peer review is in place to catch) but to manipulate the system and peer process to that extent should end their professional careers.
John Mashey replied on Permalink
Deja vu, vu, vu, vu
Richard: nice post!
You know, I think there might have been some chancey statistics in one of the numerous research articles used by the 1964 committee that put together "The Surgeon General has determined that smoking…".
Hence, all relevant medical researchers should stop what they're doing and go back and find that article and reanalyze it thoroughly, which will take … forever. One of those articles might be *wrong*, and since much of the tobacco research is only statistical (tobacco exoperiments on humans being hard to do), if a study is wrong, that's The End.
Meanwhile, all anti-smoking restrictions should be lifted until everything is really sure.
Wegman did write:
'As we said in our report, "In a real sense the paleoclimate results of MBH98/99 are essentially irrelevant to the consensus on climate change. The instrumented temperature record clearly indicates an increase in temperature."
We certainly agree that modern global warming is real. We have never disputed this point. We think it is time to put the "hockey stick" controversy behind us and move on.'
I saw this comment in the full report when I studied it, and then Wegman reaffirmed it in the later hearing above. I don't know how anybody could be clearer.

John, few if any people
John, few if any people dispute that the earth warmed during the 20th century. But when scientists claim that the warming is "unprecedented" or that it is currently the "warmest in 1000 years", then these claims will be subject to intense scrutiny.

Where do they find these guys?
Here's an excerpt from the bio of the author of this important new science book, a little something to demonstrate his remarkable accomplishment as a climate researcher:
"John Zyrkowski is president of Lean Techniques, LLC and has served as Vice President of Planning and International Engineering for the Clark Equipment Company, Inc. He has personally managed five turn-arounds using his expertise in process engineering and team techniques. He advises over I50 top manufacturing managers on implementing world- class performance and design standards to become globally competitive from a U.S. cost base. He wrote a column for InMFG magazine and has been featured on the front cover of IMPO magazine."
But wait, there's more:
"John has also lived the way that the Global Warming community would envision for humanity as a Peace Corp Volunteer in Guatemala. He road a horse, plowed fields with oxen and a tree branch, and buried young children who died of starvation. More importantly, everyone who lived their is trying to come to the U.S."
Given the hi-qualidy spelling, perhaps Gary is the actual publisher.
But Gary, couldn't you find anybody with a science degree to put his or her name on this trash?

Brian D replied on Permalink
Gary, as someone reasonably familiar with the peer-reviewed literature on solar activity (I studied astrophysics for some time), I can't find his solar graph (or data) in ANY of the references he "adapted" it from (the IPCC TAR). And I've been checking through its references since you posted this comment.
If you actually look at the data, or analyses thereof, there has be NO solar trend for at least the last 30 years (definitively; empirical measurements from satellites), and perhaps the last 50 (reconstruction by proxy). This graph would have us assume it tracks temperature perfectly!

Brian D replied on Permalink
Oh, and while I'm at it
IPCC "reviewer" isn't a credential. It means he asked to look at it. Consider looking through the IPCC draft comments for something by "IPCC Expert Reviewer" Vincent Gray, for instance. Fully 50% of them are requests to replace "anthropogenic" with "human-induced".
Others incude:
*Insert after "to" "the utterly ridiculous assumption of"
*Insert after "Bayesian" "(or super-guesswork)"
*Insret (sic) before "Calibrated" "Bogus"
He never gave any justification for any of these.
Another classic would be:
*There is simply no evidence forthese extravagant assertions
To which the reviewers replied: Rejected. The reviewer provides no supporting reasoning for the proposed change. A brief overview of the evidence is provided in the following >100 pages.
Oh, and as for the critical "very likely" sentence in the SPM?
On the first draft, Gray's comment was Replace "very likely' with "possible".
On the second draft, Gray's comment was Replace "very likely" by "most unlikely".
No justification given on either, by the way, but the change in heart suggests that, to him, Plan B is automatically twice as much gunpowder as Plan A.
And he still bills himself as an IPCC Expert Reviewer. No one who actually worked on the report (and none of the reviewers with any scientific integrity) would ever bill themselves as an IPCC Expert Reviewer.
Don't be so quick to buy that as a credential.
Brian D replied on Permalink
In the interest of academic honesty, I have to correct a mistake I made.
It seems I accidentally pulled a Bellamy in my previous comment: Of Gray's comments, 50, not 50%, were demanding "anthropogenic" be replaced with "human-induced". The remainder of my comments still stand.
I apologize for any confusion, not that Gary read my comment (or that he could be more confused) anyway.
Hockey stick no matter what?
Didn't those who debunked the methods used by Mann show whatever data sets or proxies you plugged into Mann's math it mined out a hockey stick?
Wasn't that the issue from the start?

"Al `Fat Al' Gore [is fat]" – Harold Pierce
If you really are serious,
and I will give you the benefit of the doubt, then please do me the same and read my response carefully.
I find that most deniers latch onto these remarks and others like them out of context and without thinking seriously about what the source is actually saying.
I also have grave doubts about the galloping industrial development that has characterized western civilisation for the past 2 centuries, pretty much unhampered by considerations of social or environmental impact. A great deal of good has come out of this - no question about that. I myself would probably not be alive today without the medical advances that have piggy-backed on this situation.
However, we are finally reaching a point from which we can see some of the negative impacts (pollution, unchecked population explosion, resource depletion, urban decay …) things we could have dealt with along the way if we had had the perspective to see what was happening. We didn't, and now we are facing the cumulative consequences, trying to fix things after the fact.
The industrialized West has to make a paradigm shift away from traditional power sources, redefine "progress" and "growth" and adopt a sustainable approach to resource management if we are to get through this without imploding. This is a change as significant to humankind as was the Industrial Revolution itself. I don't believe that civilisation needs to "collapse" to achieve this, but for some, even the changes I am talking about would probably qualify as the destruction of our way of life. Sorry, guys.
At the same time, rather than repeating our mistakes the Developing World could benefit from them. Aid programs that are tied to the use of clean technology are an obvious starting point. Technology transfer is another. If the collective wisdom of the planet got to work on this co-operatively (and no, I DON'T mean communism!!!), I am confident that we could make huge strides.
When people say that the undeveloped world "must not be allowed to become the kind of industrial heartland that the West represents", I think they are right – but make no mistake: what we are saying is NOT let them stay poverty-stricken in the stone age. The point is that we must provide the benefit of our experience to help them get it right the first time, and not end up in the same boat we are in now.
A lot of people can't see beyond the gunwales of that boat, and figure everything's fine. What they haven't noticed yet is that it's not a yacht, it's a lifeboat. And they had better get rowing.

Good answer Fern
Very nice spin.
Spin is in the eye of the beholder
Thank you Gary, I think. If this looks like "spin" to you, then you aren't reading me correctly. What I wrote above I believe, and it's why I remain hopeful about humanity's future. Having it termed "spin" is vaguely offensive to me, as though I am putting it out there in order to gain something. I suppose what I want to gain is a sustainable civilization in which everybody has enough to get by and we aren't driving the planet into a fever. Since highschool (back when the earth's crust was cooling in the early '70s) I have been concerned & active on issues of pollution, over-population, habitat loss (although we hadn't invented the term yet)&c &c – in general, The Big Picture. I'm not spinning anything here, just expressing myself after 35 years of watching the situation develop.

This is Aubrey of Maubys here again with a super simple and fast fat quarter tutorial.
Modeled after the infamous "pillowcase" dress style, this fast little dress takes only 2 fat quarters and the added bonus of not needing a hem!
2 Fat Quarters (try to use ones with selvages if you can)
2, 1 Yard cuts of 5/8″ wide ribbon that matches the fat quarters
Matching Thread
Rick Rack
1. Lay the two fat quarters on top of each other with right sides up.
The shorter edge of each fat quarter (18″) with the selvage will be the bottom and the opposite shorter edge will be the top.
Measure 3″ in along the top/shorter side and 6″ down on the longer side. Cut on a diagonal. Repeat with the opposite side. These will be the arm holes.
2. Place cut fat quarters on top of each other, right sides together. Line up all edges. Using a straight stitch, serger, or an overcast stitch sew the two pieces together along the sides from the bottom of the arm holes to the bottom of the fat quarters with a 5/8″ seam allowance.
3. Finish the sleeves with a 1/4″ double fold hem and a 1/8″ seam allowance.
How to do a double fold hem: Starting at the top of one of the arm holes fold fabric over 1/4″ so that the raw edge is on the wrong side of the fabric. Press. Fold over again another 1/4″ in the same direction closing the raw edge inside the hem.
4. Fold over the top of each side 1/4″ so that the raw edge is on the wrong side of the fabric. Sew with 1/8″ seam allowance. This is the neckline.
5. Turn top over 1″ and hem again with 1/8″ seam allowance only along the bottom of the neckline hem.
6. String ribbon through each 1″ top hem.
7. Match up the ends of the ribbon and scrunch the fabric into the center of the ribbon. Un-scrunch the fabric a little bit, just enough to give the neckline a scrunchy, gathered look.
To keep dress neckline from being a choking hazard, sew the ends of the neckline hem closed. Securing the ribbon in between the ends of the neckline, keeping it in place.
8. I left the selvages as the hem because they look so great! If you don't have selvages on your fat quarters, or don't like the look of them, hem the bottom of the skirt with a 1/4″ – 1/2″ double fold hem.
And there you have it! A very simple dress for a toddler that can become a shirt later on.
Wear it in the winter with stockings or leggings and a long sleeved shirt. Or,
Wear it by itself in the summer as a sun dress! Easy, cute and versatile!
This dress was made with Fat Quarters from the Make Life Collection by Sweetwater

For the more information about water resources in the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/water/.
Vital Signs Monitoring
Preserving water resources of the national parks unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations is a fundamental purpose of the National Park Service. Critical to this endeavor is understanding the condition of water resources in the National Parks. Park managers across the country are confronted with increasingly complex and challenging issues that require a broad based understanding of park water resources as a basis for making decisions, working with other agencies, and communicating with the public to protect park hydrologic systems and aquatic species.
Vital signs monitoring is designed to inform managers of the condition of water, air, geologic resources, plants and animals, and the various ecological, biological, and physical processes that act on those resources. In situations where natural areas have been highly altered so that physical and biological processes no longer function naturally (e.g., fires, floods, developed areas), information obtained through monitoring can help managers understand how to develop the most effective approach to restoration or, in cases where restoration is impossible, ecologically sound management.
The water quality and aquatic resource components of the Vital Signs Monitoring program provide park managers with the information they need to protect natural water systems and native aquatic species. As with any scientific research and data collection, this information provides resource managers the tools necessary to plan and take action to fulfill the mandates of the NPS mission.
Any reference to companies or their products in the Vital Signs section of this website is for discussion or example purposes only and does not reflect an endorsement of that product. Users of this site should seek out competitor's products for a comprehensive comparison of prices and equipment capabilities to meet their specific needs.

Need opinions on getting a new computer
I desperately need a new computer for gaming and have around $1000 to spend. I mainly play WoW with some other games thrown in but obviously want a system that can hopefully run games better than what I have now(usually around 15-20 fps on most games). I honestly don't have a lot of knowledge about computer components and have never built one myself, so I was looking at the pre-builts on Newegg. I am hoping someone could give me their opinions on the computer below and tell me if it's a good system and worth the money. I appreciate any help I can get as I feel like a monkey doing a calculus problem looking at all these systems. Thanks!

Re: Need opinions on getting a new computer
That machine is more than enough to run WoW. If you're comfortable building your own system you can put something together that's a couple hundred cheaper, but if it's worth some extra scratch to spare yourself the headache then this is a decent way to go.

yeah I'm not all that comfortable trying to build anything myself. I'm hoping to get into DayZ also with some friends soon so hopefully it will be ok with that also.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Description of Notophthalmus viridescensOne of only a few species of Salamandridae that are native to North America. Larvae and adults live in small bodies of water in deciduous and coniferous forests. The larvae have laterally compressed tails, olive colored skin, and feathery gills. The larvae develop into terrestrial âeftâs that are up to 4.5 cms long and are reddish-orange with two rows of black-bordered red spots. The eft matures into a breeding adult after 2 or 3 years. The adult is dorsally yellowish- to greenish-brown with black-bordered red spots. Final size up to 12.4 cm. Hind legs enlarge during the breeding season as part of adaptations to amplexus. They produce up to 400 offspring, with a gestation period of up to 2 months. Carnivorous, larvae eat small invertebrates including water fleas, snails, and beetle larvae; efts eat small invertebrates, mainly those found in humus and leaf litter, including snails, spring tails, and soil mites; the adults eat mainly midge larva and other aquatic immature stages of insects. They will live up to 15 years. Predators include birds, mammals, fish, and other amphibians, however many of them are deterred by the newt's toxic skin secretions. Leech parasites also contribute to losses from the population. Bibliography: Petranka, J. 1998. Salamanders of the United States and Canada. Washington, D.C., USA: Smithsonian Institution Press.

Summit League Women's Preview: South Dakota State at Fort Wayne
As we turn the page to chapter two of the 2014 Summit League schedule there's only one team heading into the second half with a perfect slate - South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits polished off all seven opponents the first time through the schedule. Now comes the hard part - doing it all again.
The final two wins of the first half came at home, where SDSU has won all 11 so far this year, 14 straight overall.
Last Thursday night in an 11-point win over Denver, the Jacks played good defense, holding the Pioneers 18 points under their average, while knocking down 10 3-pointers on the offensive end of the floor.
Head coach Aaron Johnston told me he was pleased with the effort against Denver:
Sunday, the Jacks welcomed in-state rival South Dakota, a team that's allowed opponents to shoot the highest percentage in the conference from behind the 3-point arc, and SDSU took advantage with nine first half 3-pointers, en route to a 19-point win.
The long range strategy for SDSU was apparent early on as 11 of their first 19 field goal attempts came from three. Coach Johnston says some of that was a carry over from Thursday night's win:
At the midway point of the Summit League schedule it's South Dakota State by a game over IUPUI with the rest of the field at least another two games behind the Jaguars. Despite that small separation in the standings, coach Johnston says things have played out pretty much as expected through the first seven games:
The second half for South Dakota State starts Thursday night in Fort Wayne against the number one three-point shooting team in the Summit League. The Mastodons attempt (24) and make (9) more long range shots than anyone in the conference. They also have the top two scorers in the league, Haley Seibert (23 points per game) and Amanda Hyde (22 points per game). Those two combined for eight of the 12 3's IPFW hit during the first meeting with SDSU, a game the Jacks won by 17, thanks to 52 percent shooting and 54 points off the bench.
But coach Johnston says defending the perimeter is the key against the Mastodons:
Tipoff is 6:00pm CST Thursday in Fort Wayne.

Watch a playthrough of the DmC: Devil May Cry demo.
Looks terrible for a dmc game, just what I thought
Don't support this crap people, Capcom will never learn to stop ruining franchises...just think they have Megaman left, do you really want that game to be turned into crap once they finally do a new game for it.
Those air combos... they literally float in the air for you ,no effort at all from the players.
Slow, clunky, terrible art resign, terrible character design, terrible gameplay, absolutely no correlation to the original Devil May Cries besides names, Ninja Theory still having arrogent egos and think they have actually made good games before when in reality they have made a failed Devil May Cry clone and a failed Uncharted clone......I can't wait until this fails in sales and capcom makes stupid PR statements to make it sound like they tried to stop this but failed.

Stinky corpse flower blooms again at Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A large rainforest plant known as a corpse flower because of its awful smell has bloomed again at an Ohio State University greenhouse, and there's more excitement because another corpse flower there is expected to open soon, a spokeswoman said.
A 6-foot titan arum, nicknamed Woody after Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes, opened Tuesday to reveal its bold, reddish-purple color and release its rotting-flesh smell a little over two years after it first flowered.
A second corpse flower opened briefly at the greenhouse last May, and a third is expected to open for the first time in seven to 10 days, spokeswoman Sandi Rutkowski said.
The greenhouse extends visiting hours during such blooms, but people who want to catch a peek or a whiff have to do so quickly because the rare blooms sometimes last only a day or less. Some of the plants never bloom, and there's no guarantee that those that bloom will do so again.
"I think we're pinching ourselves," Rutkowski said.
She said having three or four blooms within three years is a credit to good luck and to the skill of the Columbus greenhouse's program manager, Joan Leonard.
"It is luck, but it's also due in large part to Joan's incredible skills at getting things to grow, at nurturing them, sort of knowing what to do when," Rutkowski said.
The corpse flower is native to Indonesia's Sumatra island, according to the university.

Would this trade be worth it?
So, I have an offer to trade my ESP Eclipse in Vintage Black with a Jackson RR1 in blue ghost flames. I personally don't like the look of the Jackson, but I CAN sell it for much more than I can sell my ESP for.
So, emotional attachment aside. Do the Blue Ghost Flame RR1s sell very easily? I'm worried I'll get the guitar, try to sell it for a few months, and no one will want to buy it because it looks like something Guy Fieri would have hanging above his toilet.
God dammit I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO :((((((
I could potentially get the Jackson, sell it for $1,300...and then get a dope ass Ibanez Prestige 7 string (which a 7 string is more what I need now).
But my Eclipse has been my trusty ass guitar for a while. My only concern is financially, I'm not one of those guys that gets all attached or thinks there is a "the one" guitar. But, I do love how my ESP plays. And it is undoubtedly high quality, so I'm wondering if I'll be like "Fuck dude, I want my high quality ESP back." And now with ESP prices through the roof, it'd be much more difficult to get an ESP in the future.
Based on your own responses, I wouldn't do it. Find another way to fund a 7, or buy a cheaper one if you need to. Don't throw your go-to to the wolves just to get one.edit: also, a bird in the hand and whatnot....
Unless blue flames is a desirable finish for those RR's I wouldn't do it. Because, that's a stupid finish and why would anybody buy that
I wouldn't do it either.. that finish is a hate/love thing and I've yet to meet someone loving it.

PuffinRub needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 56 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Invincible Networking Solutions Ltd
We are a small information technology company offering outsourced management services to small and medium sized businesses in South East England. We help companies focus on doing what they do best whilst we support, maintain and manage their computer systems. We have been in business for six years and are looking for new collateral to revitalise our image.
Our services are ideally suited towards small and medium sized companies with a turnover exceeding $500,000 looking to achieve substantial savings whilst increasing staff productivity by outsourcing the management and maintenance of their information technology systems. We have no specific vertical focus but our customers tend to work in the business-to-business arena.
We are looking for a number of stationery and promotional items to be created with this contest. We already have a logo that we're extremely satisfied with and we're looking to add our new slogan into the mix. We're happy for designers to have a play with the font used for the company name but the bull logo needs to stay.
We need:
- Stationery design; our current design lacks "pizzazz" and we'll need something that can be printed onto commercially printed stationary but also supplied as a Microsoft Word template.
- Business card design; we're currently using the rear of our cards to provide further details regarding our services and have found this to be an extremely effective reminder to prospective customers what it is we do.
- Envelope design; we don't have any yet so welcome any suggestions!
- PowerPoint slide design; both for a cover/title page, as well as the internal slides with our logo appear on every page
- Proposal cover page and internal body pages; for use in Word, corporate style - a beautiful cover with room to fit a client name and our info, as well as the internal pages again with a blue bar/logo throughout.
We will want the files at the end so that we can use them as templates to create all our materials - in other words we need to have the specific design templates for PowerPoint, Word and so on created for us to use.

An homage to the golden days of guitar building with a Sitka spruce top, herringbone binding and TK40 preamp.
A new classic is born. The Takamine EG536SHB Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar pays homage to the Golden days of guitar building in a thoroughly modern package at an incredible price.
This herringbone dreadnought is built to perform. High grade Sitka spruce is chosen for the soundboard to create a voice that is powerful and dynamic with a broad tonal range. Match this with a rosewood back and sides for maximum projection and a Takamine TK40 Preamp pickup and preamp system and you have every performance situation well covered.
TK40 Preamp Features
The Takamine TK40 Preamp found on G-Series guitars features volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a Notch Filter, Tuner and a Mid Contour Switch. The preamp is switched on by plugging a standard 1/4" mono instrument cable into the endpin strap pin/jack. These last four features are described in greater detail below:
EQ Bypass: This push button enables the user to engage or defeat the EQ section. When the switch is in the depressed position, the EQ is active. Return the switch to the œup position and the EQ circuit is bypassed. The bypass of the EQ circuit is desirable in some studio or live environments where external EQ is preferable. The user can also use this defeat switch to quickly check the results of the EQ adjustments relative to the original sound.
Notch Filter: A Notch Filter is a very special kind of EQ, an extremely narrow and deep cut of an audio frequency band. The TK-4N has a "tunable" notch filter which empowers the user to select the specific frequency band that will be affected by the notch. With this tunable notch filter the user can "surgically" remove troublesome feedback frequencies that occur due to the natural resonance of the guitar and interaction with the environment.
The notch control provides control of the center frequency of the notch effect. When the monitor or stage levels are too high, and the user hears the guitar starting to feed back, the player can engage the notch circuitry by pushing the "In/Out" button under the "Notch Filter" knob, and simply tune the filter (actually changing the center frequency of the notch) by slowly rotating the notch control until the feedback is eliminated.
Mid Contour: By pushing (activating) the Mid Contour button, the user is selecting a pre-shape EQ that emphasizes the frequencies normally found to be "desirable" in an acoustic guitar (400 Hz). With the Mid Contour button is depressed, the mid EQ is effectively controlling "nasal" tone qualities while in the up position, the mid control can add punch in upper mids or help "round off" the attack present in this frequency spectrum. The user should experiment with the button and the "Middle" control to determine their sound preference.
Tuner: The tuner in the TK40 is fully chromatic and automatic. The battery drops into the top of the preamp under the battery cover. There are "+" and "-" markings at the bottom of the compartment. Press the tuner switch to activate it. The note played is shown in the digital display. Up and down arrows will appear, when both are on and not flashing, the note is in tune. If the "up" arrow is flashing the string must be tuned higher, and if the "down" arrow is flashing the string must be tuned lower. The slower the arrow flashes, the closer the string is to being in tune to the note displayed. The tuner does not mute the output and turns off automatically after one minute. It can't be turned off manually.
A replica of one of Takamine's Flatpickers series, the EG536SHB is an absolute cannon and tone monster in a more affordable price point.

The agency agreed with requests from Dow AgroSciences, the Telone registrant, for reduced buffer zones from 300 feet to 100 feet, and refined protective clothing requirements, which created an impediment for soil fumigation workers in warm climates.
These important changes are the culmination of Dow AgroSciences' efforts to develop new product application technologies and more practical approaches to protecting workers handling these products.
The development of the pre-bed, row (e.g. Yetter Rig) application technology and the generation of updated exposure data ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of Telone products. The new data support the updating of the personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, which were mandated by EPA, during the FIFRA re-registration process, which ended in 1999.
"The scientific data we have developed during the past four years since reregistration will now result in making Telone brand soil fumigants easier for our customers to use," said Reid Sprenkel, global business leader for Telone products.
"With the less onerous PPE requirements, concerns about heat stress illness in hot climates should be greatly reduced. And, the reduced buffer zone will mean that Telone products can be used on fields where it may have been impractical before."
According to the new labels for the three products, when pre-bed, row application is used, product application workers and field workers (e.g. shovelmen and tractor drivers) are no longer required to wear respirators, coveralls and chemical resistant gloves and boots. Instead, they will be required to wear shoes, socks, long pants, loose-fitting long sleeved shirt and eye protection. The previous protective equipment is still required for jobs with potential for liquid contact, such as hooking up the fumigant. These jobs typically are of short duration.
Studies conducted by Dow AgroSciences demonstrate that the pre-bed, row method substantially reduces volatility and emissions into the air so that more restrictive PPE is not necessary. When that application method is used, the fumigant is injected into the soil via deep shanks and immediately covered with more soil as the bed is formed.
Workers then cover the bed with plastic. Volatility and air emissions studies also demonstrated an acceptable level of exposure when the buffer zone was reduced to 100 feet from a treated field.
EPA also modified requirements for broadcast and in-bed application methods. In addition to the PPE required for pre-bed, row applications, a half-face respirator requirement replaces the previously required full-face respirator for Telone C-17 and Telone C-35.
For these two products, no workers are required to wear a full-face respirator, unless air concentrations of chloropicrin exceed 0.1 ppm. For Telone II, a half face respirator is required.
This labeling change is not yet approved for use in all states, but Dow AgroSciences is working with state agencies to implement requirements for review and approval.

QA with GOAZCATS.coms Jason Nimrichter
In this edition of BearTerritory's recurring game week feature, GOAZCATS.com beat writer Jason Nimrichter answers some questions about the No. 14 Wildcats.
BearTerritory: How is this team different from last year's Wildcat squad?
Jason Nimrichter: The offense is more experienced and while the defense lost several players from last year's squad, the unit hasn't really struggled.
Quarterback Nick Foles looks like he has improved a lot in the offseason and it showed this past weekend, when he threw for over 300 yards against a very strong Iowa defense.
There aren't any real drastic changes though. The team appears to be more prepared for each game has more mental toughness than in 2009. Arizona blew a 20-point lead against the Hawkeyes, but pulled it off at the end. In previous years, there was a good chance the Wildcats wouldn't have pulled a game off like that.
BT: What are the biggest question marks for Arizona?
JN: On offense, the running game hasn't really gotten off to the greatest start, but has been serviceable. Arizona has relied more so on the pass this year as compared to 2009 and has been successful doing so, but eventually the running game is going to have to step up and put up better numbers than it has early on.
On the defensive side of the ball, it's the safeties. Originally, everyone thought that the linebackers would be a serious weakness for Arizona but they have come out on fire to start the season. The safeties have been a slight issue thus far though.
Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi had his way with them at times and was able to move the ball at their expense.
BT: What are this team's strengths?
JN: The strength on offense-outside of Foles-has been the receiving corps. It is a very deep and talented position and UA has shown the willingness to delve into the depth chart to keep everyone fresh. Obviously, the Wildcats like to spread the field and get everyone involved and when they are able to do that they have been very tough to stop.
On the other side of the ball there is the defensive line. All four starters have been extremely productive each game and proved their worth by holding Iowa-a squad that averaged over 200 yards per contest over the first two weeks-to only 29 yards rushing total.
BT: The Cats have the No. 3 defense in the country. Cal fans haven't heard much about the Arizona D outside of D'Aundre Reed, Ricky Elmore and Trevin Wade. Who else has been making noise on that side of the ball?
JN: Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Justin Washington has been a pleasant surprise early in the season. He won the starting job late in camp and has been very productive in his role. He took over the spot that had been held by Earl Mitchell for the previous two seasons and has collected 13 tackles (five for loss) and four sacks in the first three games.
All three linebackers have been productive as well. Junior Derek Earls has 11 tackles (3.5 behind the line), one sack, one interception and has broken up three passes playing middle linebacker. Junior Paul Vassallo is tied for the team lead in tackles with 18 and sophomore Jake Fischer has 14 tackles (3.5 for loss) and a sack.
BT: If you could define the Wildcats' style on offense, what would it be?
JN: On offense the Wildcats like to spread the ball around and create space for wide receivers to make plays with the ball in their hands. They like to mix it up quite a bit between short, medium and deep passes and aren't afraid to utilize the running backs in the passing game. They use a lot of screens and quick slants in order to get the ball in the hands of playmakers quickly.
BT: In the past, Arizona has used short passes as a de facto running game. Can Cal expect to see more of the same?
JN: Yes, but UA has been more willing to switch it up on offense quite a bit. The style is still the same, but, as Foles has gained more experience, he has gained the ability to make more throws on the field and the offensive staff has been willing to let Foles gun-sling more as his confidence grows.
BT: How has Mike Stoops evolved as a coach over the past few seasons?
JN: He has settled down a bit, although many couldn't tell that from watching this past weekend. Stoops was a coach on the verge of losing his job just a few years ago and since then he has solidified his position as Arizona head coach in a relatively short time-span.
He has also been able to get more out of his players over the past couple of years. Arizona had some pretty strong recruiting classes early in Stoops' tenure and had very little to show for it. In recent years, he has been a bit more careful with whom he recruits to play at Arizona and despite the recruiting classes not being as pretty on paper, he has developed a knack for finding diamonds in the rough year after year.
BT: What kind of passing attack can Cal expect to see from Nick Foles?
JN: Foles is one of the few quarterbacks in the nation that can make every throw on the field. He will lure defenses in with quick slants and screens and just when the defense is able to figure that out, Foles will hit the defense with a long bomb. How he approaches the game will probably depend on how Cal attacks him.
BT: How has the team responded to losing two coordinators?
JN: The team hasn't really missed a beat. Sonny Dykes established the spread offense before leaving and two of his disciples share offensive coordinator duties. Also in Dykes departure, Arizona brought in a quarterback coach (something it didn't have while Dykes was on the staff) to work with both Foles and Matt Scott, and it has already paid dividends.
The defense looks to be even better despite the departure of Mark Stoops. It's been a bit of a surprise mainly because many expect UA to struggle on defense early on, but the unit seems to be more cohesive than last year and has been extremely successful early on because of it.
BT:Any injuries of note?
JN: Fullback Taimi Tutogi is the only player ruled out with a knee sprain. Wide receiver Juron Criner is day-to-day with turf toe, but has not been ruled out as of yet. Stoops said in his weekly press conference that a few others are day-to-day but he isn't the type of coach that delivers much information regarding injuries.

Payment Options
We are happy to help you make the most of your benefits and other source of income. While some benefits depend on your income and savings, not all help is linked to your current income. As your needs change, your entitlements may also change. If you prefer not to discuss your financial affairs with our staff, we will be happy to refer you to someone else who can help.
To cover the cost of care, a resident will often use one or a combination of the following payor types:
A private pay resident is one whose primary cost of care, including the basic room rate as well as all other services not provided in the basic rate, is paid for out-of-pocket by the resident using personal funds and assets.
A long-term care policy pays a specified amount for nursing home care for a specified number of years in one's lifetime. It's designed to help supplement your care and protect your assets by paying for the expenses – the amounts set in your policy.
Medigap and employer-provided or private health insurance plans can offset the cost of skilled nursing and long term care.
HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS (HMOs)
If you are covered by a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), skilled nursing care is managed through your insurance company. Please refer to your specific HMO plan for coverage and benefit information. You will be responsible for charges not covered by your HMO policy or other third party payors.
The Veteran's Administration (VA) provides payment for skilled and long term care, or both, to veterans in nursing homes and domiciliary care facilities. The length of VA contracts varies based on the individual. Contact the nearest Veteran's Administration for more information regarding veteran benefits.
Medicaid is a cooperative federal-state program designed to provide health care services to low-income individuals. Included in these health care services is nursing home care, if the nursing home is certified to participate in the Medicaid program. The Resident will be held responsible for all services not covered by Medicaid or other third party payors.
If your income and assets are limited, you may qualify for Medicaid, which does cover most of the costs of nursing home care.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that consists of two main parts for hospital and medical insurance (Parts A and B) and two additional parts that provide flexibility and prescription drug coverage (Parts C and D). If eligible, and if your healthcare provider participates in the Medicare program, Medicare helps cover specific costs of care.
The Medicare program is administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. When a Resident applies for Medicare, the application requires a full and complete disclosure of the Resident's financial income and resources.
Medicare only covers limited stays in nursing homes for eligible residents. Skilled nursing or rehabilitation services are covered for a period of about 100 days after a hospitalization. Medicare does not cover custodial care (such as assistance with feeding, bathing, and dressing), if that is the only care needed.
Eight of the ten basic Medigap policies (Medigap Plans A-J) completely cover days 21-100 skilled nursing coinsurance; Medigap Plans K-L cover a portion. Three states have their own Medigap plans. In Massachusetts, the core plan does not cover skilled nursing facility coinsurance, but a supplemental plan does. Skilled nursing facility coverage is provided in Minnesota both with the basic and extended basic plan and in Wisconsin with the basic plan.
If you have multiple benefit sources, such as Medicare and other health insurance or coverage, each type of coverage is called a "payor." When there is more than one payor, "coordination of benefits" rules decide which one pays first. The "primary payer" pays what it owes on your bills first, and then sends the rest to the "secondary payer" to pay. In some cases, there may also be a third payer.
The insurance that pays first (primary payor) pays up to the limits of its coverage.
The one that pays second (secondary payor) only pays if there are costs the primary insurer didn't cover.
The secondary payor (which may be Medicare) may not pay all the uncovered costs.
If your employer insurance is the secondary payor, you may need to enroll in Medicare Part B before your insurance will pay.
Managed Care policies cover everything that Medicare covers. Sometimes there is a co-payment, however, for days 21-100, that is usually about half the cost. In addition, no prior hospital stay is required.

Hello people, I was wondering if anyone has ever come across the oxford latin dictionary. I'm talking about the version that costs ~$200!
Is it worth the price?
My goal is to learn the basics in the short term so I can read and speak 'average' latin material , but for the long term so I can play around with the language itself.

Diamond Viper HD3850 Crossfire Review
Purchasing a new video card is always a game of compromises. You usually start to compromise on performance when the dollar signs for the best of the best video cards start ramping up to those of your car payment or mortgage. Somewhere there has to be a price/performance line that is equitable to both your pocket book and your gaming experience. Now what if there was an option for a great gaming experience at a price point that is fair enough that you don't have to give up your first born child? Would you bite?
ATI/AMD and their partners have just released the latest in the HD series of video cards with the HD 3850 and HD3870 video cards. The Diamond Viper HD 3850 video card is one of these just introduced video cards. With a new release there is always anticipation while waiting for the results of those first benchmarks to see how well a release does. First let's talk about some of the features that make the new HD 3800 series stand out from the crowd. Direct X 10.1 support for HD gaming at its best, Shader model 4.1 support Support for PCIE 2.0, Plug and Play Crossfire X multi-GPU upgradeability, the ability to use four, yes I said four, video cards in Crossfire configuration on the new 790FX chipset AMD platform boards, the ability to watch HD or Blu Ray disks in full 1080p without placing most of the decoding burden on the CPU with UVD (Unified Video Decoder), and built-in HDMI 5.1 sound. For those who are looking at every watt of electricity they use, the R670 GPUs are built on a 55 nanometer process. Powerplay technology is used to reduce the consumption of power when the graphics are used in a nondemanding 2D environment by dropping the core speed of the GPU. With these kind of features, you can't go wrong. Is the Diamond Viper HD 3850 series more suited for use in an HTPC or an all out gaming rig? Let's find out.
Closer Look:
The Diamond Viper HD 3850 256MB video cards come in a simple understated package rather than a gaudy box. The front has a picture of Ruby, the ATI icon, on the right hand side of the box, with the specifications and features on the back side. This no-nonsense approach is much appreciated. Just the simple approach works wonders and makes a product stand out from the crowd in the crowded world of retail shelf space. The video cards that were sent to OverclockersClub.com were OEM samples, so I will show the retail packaging and included bundle with pictures supplied by the manufacturer.
The bundled contents of the box include the manuals, Quick Start guide, driver disk, component output dongle, DVI to D-Sub adapter, DVI to HDMI adapter, S-Video to HDTV (7-pin) adapter, an S- Video cable and the Crossfire interconnect. The driver disk includes DVD playback software.
The Diamond HD 3850 series cards use a single slot cooling solution to keep the card's GPU, memory and power regulation circuits cool. The all copper cooling solution gives the card a weighty feel to it. The heatsink is kept in place by the retaining bracket over the backside of the GPU as well as six more spots on the card.
The Diamond HD3850 has two DVI outputs as well as an S-Video output. Dual-link DVI is supported. HDMI output is supported via the included adapter in the retail version of these cards. The Crossfire connections are seen at the front of the board. Having two connections available allows for having more than two cards in the Crossfire configuration. In fact, Crossfire X allows for up to four cards to be used in this configuration. The Crossfire interconnects are flexible and use a ribbon cable between the two contact blocks.
