Jean-Léon Gérôme, Pygmalion and Galatea, c. 1890
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Late in his career, Gérôme turned to the medium of sculpture. Between 1890 and 1893, he executed both sculpted and painted variations on the theme of Pygmalion and Galatea, as the tale is recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses." All of those works depict the moment when the sculpture of Galatea was brought to life by the goddess Venus, in fulfillment of Pygmalion's wish for a wife as beautiful as the sculpture he created.
In 1890, Gérôme commented that he had "just begun" a painting of Pygmalion and Galatea. This is one of three known versions in oil of the subject, all likely based on the plaster model of a lifesize marble sculpture (Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California). In each painting, the sculpture appears at a different angle, as though it was being viewed in the round.

JOLIET | Bloom Township answered Joliet Central's rally with a counter rally to escape the host's gym with a 67-60 boys basketball victory in the final game of the MLK Day of Hoops on Monday.
The Blazing Trojans (11-6) led by nine points at the half and appeared to have no trouble, but the Steelmen (11-6) scored six straight points to start the second half, and tied the game on Jonah Coble's 3-pointer with 5:11 left in the third.
It was back and forth from there, with the Steelmen taking a 53-49 lead on the strength of a 12-2 run to start the fourth quarter. But Bloom rallied via a full-court press that forced three turnovers and a nine-point counter run, with Jared Johnson (20 points) scoring five of the points.
Joliet pulled to within a point on a Jaylen McGee (14 points) basket, but the Trojans scored nine of the last 12 points to grab the non-conference triumph.
Times No. 5 Bloom easily raced to leads of 9-2 and 15-6, and had a 22-8 margin after the first quarter. The Steelmen began to cut the gap with a surge late in the second quarter.
Mount Carmel 62, Bolingbrook 57: The Times No. 3 Caravan (14-6) got a double-double from Gabe Grant to beat the Raiders (11-3).
Grant had 21 points and 12 rebounds, while David Nichols had a 22 points, which included 15-of-19 free-throw shooting.
Christian Searles added 10 points as Mount Carmel (14-6) overcame a five-point deficit after three quarters.
Sandburg 75, Crete-Monee 65 (2 OT): Sandburg's double-overtime victory over Crete-Monee didn't come down to free throws.
Except it did. Sandburg made 13 of 14 free-throws in the second overtime to annex a win and send Crete-Monee to its third straight loss.
The Warriors (11-6) made only 14 of 27 across 40 minutes, including missing six of seven in the fourth quarter, when it surrendered a seven-point advantage.
"If we made half of those we missed, we'd have been further ahead," Crete-Monee coach Tom Cappel said.
And that was just the half of it.
"We took bad shots when we had the lead," Cappel said. "We said 'layups only,' and we didn't do it. Obviously, they're not listening.
"We're in a down spin here."
Rashad Lee was listening in the final minute of regulation. His drive to the basket and score over Sandburg's Niko Cahue with 13 seconds left tied the game at 50-50 and forced extra time. Sandburg (6-9) had tied the game at 47 on Alec Martinez's layup following a steal from Lamar Gaines, then went ahead on free throws.
Crete-Monee came back from a 58-56 deficit in the first overtime, going ahead on Brandon Johnson's three-point play, then survived when Cahue made only the first of two free-throws with 8.8 seconds left in the four-minute session.
Martinez' 3-pointer 27 seconds into the second overtime allowed the Eagles to dictate the pace of the game and forced Crete-Monee to foul. A pair of 3-pointers by Williams (23 points) only cut the deficit to 69-65 with 20 seconds remaining.
Five seconds later, a shoving match earned Lee a technical foul, his fifth foul of the game, and a fat lip from a Sandburg player. Cappel was unsure whether Lee had been ejected or had simply fouled out. An ejection would mean Lee would miss Crete-Monee's next game.
Eric Straka (23 points) and Martinez (18) led Sandburg. Johnson added 19 for Crete-Monee.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Runner49 Lightweight all around I like the shoe, I bought 2. As soon as I was able to find my size, (they runlarge) it felt comfortable immediately. Its a minimalist shoe in that it is light weight all around.; the entire shoe is made of mesh, I have a narrow heel, which fits me like a glove but gives my toes wiggle room and space when running long distances. I also like that they come with added insoles for comfort, and the price as great. This is from someone who wore the new balance minimalist shoe for two years April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Irit Great shoes!!! I very happy with this purchase, the color is more pinky than the picture, and I very like it! Shoes are very comfortable and light. Recommend!!! June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by adidascustomer1025 Very good shoes! I have a low arch, borderline flat feet so I require shoes with good cushioning. For running, my favorite is the Supernova Glide 5 or Supernova Sequence 6 and I wanted to have a lighter shoe but still had a good amount of cushioning so I looked into this shoe. And I love it! It is very light weight, but still has good cushioning and support - it's not exactly as the same as the Glide 5 or Glide 6 but it is very good. I am planning on wearing these shoes to an amusement park within the next weeks because I wanted a breathable light but comfortable shoe because I would be on my feet for 5+ hours. Great job adidas! Also I have a wide foot and I fluctuate between sizes 10, 10.5 and 11 so I decided to go with a 10.5 and it was good. I believe if I had gone with the 10 it would have been too small, but if I had gone with an 11 it would be okay too. In my opinion it fits true to size and not too big or too small. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Harleysmom Love this shoe So, when I went in to purchase a pair of sneakers, I ran across these and thought, they're not structured enough, my feet won't be supported. But I dug the colors and bought a pair anyway. Wore them one day and they literally blew my mind! They were so comfortable, that I went back and bought two more pair! The design, fit, support and style, all thumbs up. Fit my feet perfectly and no fatigue at the end of the day. Highly recommended! August 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by 6onthefloor Love my Sneaks! These are super comfy. Have really great proportion.(looks good from all directions).... BUT they are really kinda bright PINK. Yes I know the pic does verify this but I pictured more of a Raspberry Pink.Deeper red. NOPE these are pink and Im not a pink-person not girly in ANY Way. BRIGHT !!!! Soo Im rethinking if I should return, they are nice though.....and I ordered a size 9 Im normally 8.5 -9.0 these do feel big.Ill get back to ya.... April 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by missbunny great looking shoe, and super comfy too! these shoes are so cute! I bought the pink, and I'm considering buying another pair in black as well. fits great, looks great and feels great. they're lightweight and breathable, as they're mesh all over, so your feet don't get too hot while running, and they come with an added shoe insert too. great buy! May 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cali Lynne Comfy and cool! I really love the simplistic, sleek look and comfort of these shoes.(I bought the black ones) ! I do not like wearing socks with my sneakers especially when I am not running and these are perfect for strength training, yoga and walking. I am thinking about getting the pink ones. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LVee Comfortable, cool and overall a very nice shoe! I recently purchased these shoes and have already walked 10 miles in them without any problem. They are very comfortable and do not need any breaking in since they are made up of an extremely flexible mesh material. Though these are designated as running shoes, I would not wear these for running since I normally do not use minimalist footwear. However, I will be using these as my go-to walking shoes and will be buying another pair solely to have available during my travels. April 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Mommy of 3 A nice surprise My physical therapist recommended a more "natural" shoe for me. I decided to give this a try and so far, I am pleased. I have put running on hold for awhile due to injury and a recent surgery so I cannot speak to running in these yet but I use them for walking, at the gym on the elliptical and in strength training classes, and when I'm out and about. Really happy with the price too. I have been an Adidas fan for a number of years and so far, these have not disappointed. August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Newtoadidas40 Great buy I really like these. Very light shoes I bought to play tennis in them. I think they are minimalist running shoe but I prefer a lot of cushioning and different type of shoe for running. I got these n black and they look classic and I like how they keep feet light, snug on the tennis court. Love them. June 30, 2014

Review: Aliens: Fast Track to Heaven
- Written by Dan Buckley, Outhouse Contributor on Wednesday, November 16 2011 and posted in Reviews
A review of Dark Horse's Alien: Fast Track to Heaven HC!
Credits & Solicit Info:
Beneath the ice of Jupiter's moon, life teems in lightless oceans. But more spectacular discoveries elsewhere in the cosmos have left Europa's research facilities underfunded and ignored, a lonely wayside with an orbital station and a decaying space elevator. When one of the elevators stops midway, the rescue team discovers a deadly cargo that threatens life on Europa and on Earth.
* From superstar creator Liam Sharp (Gears of War)!
* An all-new deluxe-format hardcover graphic novella!
One of the most difficult things to write well is a suspenseful, scary story. It is difficult to take a group of sympathetic, charismatic characters and put them into a situation where you are concerned for their well-being and frightened for them. Aliens is a prime example of this difficulty: although there is a good amount of characterization, the story leaves something to be desired. Just how often can you have a story about a group of marines, space explorers or otherwise space-bound fighters engaged in a fight for their lives with an unknown, ominous force that threatens their very lives?
Our story takes place below the ice on a research base on Jupiter's moon Europa. A group, our soon-to-be fodder team, has been sent in to discover what happened to a previous research team. They don't find the previous team; instead, they find a hive with a few straggling remnants of the previous team encased in housing for future serpents. The reader is never really told why this specific team is there in the first place. We are led to believe that not only is it totally natural for a team to be there for a seemingly pointless venture at this point in our future, and that Weyland is setting up our team as a test for the creature.
The ultimate tension isn't whether or not the creature is going to make mincemeat of our heroes. This is Alien – or Aliens. After all, most of the stories ended with at least five survivors anyway. Therefore, the stress in our story doesn't come from whether this wayward rescue team is going escape from this encounter without being doused with acid blood or killed brutally by this savage killing machine. (Both of which were actually drawn quite well; horrific yet still tastefully done all the same.) The tension comes from the desperate need to stop this virtually unstoppable force before it uses their ship to come back to Earth. If hardened rescue teams don't have a chance to stop it, what chance would the helpless civilians of Earth have?
The artwork in this comic has a true gritty feel, which helps to show the tough situation that the research team is going through. The different colors, in addition to showing their otherwise desperate situation, it really relays the mood. As they first arrive at the research base, they find the clear lighting is completely tan, illustrating just how much the hive has completely taken over the area. The entire page is a blue hue when there is an air of sadness at the recent demise of two members of the team as their leader is ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to buy them some precious time. The light in the area is completely yellow when there is a jovial nature about them before the team really knows what they are getting into.
All and all, this comic is quite well done. The artwork is very well done and does a good job relating the mood, the dialogue, though sparse, is enough to evoke emotional reaction in the characters and the setting provides enough desperation to spark hints of fear. However, this story adds nothing to the genre of science fiction, horror or the graphic novel universe. It is a well-done title, but a far from memorable one.
Two stars out of four.

Chapter 11 Reviews
The daily routine of a fifteen year old boy. It sucks. How do I deserve this? What have I ever done wrong...
First Blow... I scream
Second Blow... I cry
Third Blow... I squeak
Forth Blow... I beg...
The daily routine of a fifteen year old boy. It sucks. How do I deserve this? What have I ever done wrong...
But maybe I do deserve it. Yeah. Anyone who is different deserves it! Freaks get kicked, normal people get loved. simple. I deserve it. The deep white scars and dried blood says it all. The died hair, the eyeliner, the lips that never smile...
I coughed and chocked as Adam's fist forced its self into my stomach, tears streaming down my face. My lip bleeds from where I'd bitten it to stop my self from screaming. Adam ordered his mates, Paul and Dylan who held me to the wall, to drop me. My body hit the rough ground. I moaned as I lay there. Adam and his hench men laughed at me.
"Aww... Poor Gee! It hurts doesn't it? Poor little emo!", cooed Adam sarcastically, "Why don't you go home and cut your self, freak!"
I didn't know what hurt more. Their mocking words or the bruises on my stomach. I just wanted out of this awful pain that sped through my vains.
"Its rude not to reply when people are talking to you, Emo", teased Adam, kicking me in the head.
"Come on! Its got boring now. Lets find some other sado that needs to be toughened up!", said Dylan, bored as I was no longer replying to the chants and beatings.
"Yea..." sighed Adam, before bending forward so his head was near mine. "One day, you'll thank us..." He whispered in my ear, his breath was cold and icy.
They walked off, still shouting abuse over their shoulders.
I pulled my self to my feet. I shut my eyes tightly, moaned and leaned forward, hugging my stomach. I ran to the nearest bin and vomited. The smell of the bin made it worse. My throat felt sharp and worn, and felt like it had been set on fire every time my lunges pulled in the dirty air of the School's Alley.
I pulled my self away from the disgusting bin and fished into my schoolbag. I pulled a cigarette and lighter out from the bottom of my bag and lit it. I leaned back against the wall as my body relaxed. So good... Yet bad. I've been trying quit, but some times I just need one. Its not like I've been smoking long! Only since I was 12, so only 3 years...
My dad has all ways smoked, so one day the curiosity got the better of me. I stole a ciggy and a lighter, went to the park, lit the cig and sucked. It was heaven.
I finished my smoke, dropped it and stamped it out. I need to get home. Right now, all I need really is a cup of coffee and my bed.
I walked in the front door, ignoring Mikey's hello.
I opened the basement door before slamming it behind me. I climbed down the steps until I came to a new door. I opened it and went in to my room. I threw my stuff down and clasped on to my bed, head in pillow. Why couldn't life me easier for me?
All my life I've had it bad, bad, bad! Bullied, rejected, feelings of being lost...
My whole life is just one big fail. My anger bubbled through my vains. I've got to get it out. I need it out. I must get rid of it!
I sat up and searched through my bed side table's draw. I rummaged through until I found what I was looking for. I lay down on to my bed, and fiddled with the sharp metal blade in my hand. I pulled my school shirt arm up on my left, revealing the already scarred skin. I pressed the blade against the skin of my arm, and ripped. I bit the inside of my mouth as I felt the pain shoot through me. I placed the blade on the table before admiring my handy work. I held my arm up above me, allowing the red rain to drip on to my face. Call me crazy, but I had to. I had to watch my arm bleed... Just to make sure it was all gone... all the pain was gone... all the anger... All of it... gone...

Paint a metal railing
Many exterior stair landings of older homes have metal railings that provide a sturdy barrier and firm gripping surface to assure safe footing. But when the painted surface becomes chipped at high-use areas or rust forms from corrosion, the metal needs a good paint job to restore its good looks. A thorough scraping, priming and fresh topcoat of paint will add a protective finish for years to come.

Hockey Needs A Scandal
Lawrence Dushenski | Sep 03, 2010 | Comments 0
This NHL off-season has been pretty typical. Lots of excitement around the draft and July 1, with the vast majority of the moves being made in a two week span. The lone exception was the Ilya Kovalchuk episode that we have all been strung along by.
Not only did he take the longest of any of the big name free agents to sign, the impending debacle between the league, the Devils and the Players Association has been the only source of excitement for hockey fans this summer. While it has taken a lawyer to figure out the intricacies of what exactly is being disputed between the parties, the most exciting news comes every few days when reports leak that the Devils have submitted a new contract to be approved by the NHL.
This is hardly the kind of excitement that hockey fans are accustomed to, as actual player movement between teams can at least create excitement for two teams, rather than simply between one team, the league and the union.
A few days ago, there was an email that was circulated to NHL media types which alleged that Sidney Crosby was involved in Tiger Woods-like actions. While the source of the story does not even deserve to be mentioned, it created a mini buzz amongst hockey bloggers and members of main stream media were at least made aware of the story going around.
Despite the fact that there was absolutely no evidence that such actions by Sid the Kid actually took place, it created a buzz that hockey is not accustomed to. While those involved in scandals never enjoy how they play out, there is without question a buzz created around all those affected in a way that few headlines can match.
If you check the daily headlines on TSN or ESPN, especially in the summer, they are mostly about injuries, contracts and suspensions. Very little of what happens in the sports world in the summer has to do with action on the ice, or on the field of any sport besides baseball. So while Tiger-esque scandals drag the name of those involved through the mud, it may be exactly what hockey needs.
There is no question that hockey has struggled to grow as a mainstream sport in the United States, with the expansion into the South seen as nothing short of a failure in many non-traditional markets. But there is one thing that a sports scandal never fails to do, and that is creating interest among those who do not typically follow the sport involved. Hockey is rarely the subject of water cooler talk outside of Canada, and amongst women it is discussed even less.
No one ever imagined that the Tiger scandal would reach the level that it did, but when he finally returned to golf, there was an enormous buzz surrounding him, with the most unlikely of fans tuning in. Imagine if Crosby or Ovechkin were involved in something half as scandalous and headline grabbing as Eldrick. This is not something that I would wish upon anyone, but in a weird way, it could save hockey in America.
Hockey players, aside from Mr. Khabibulin, have had much fewer run ins with the law then those in the other major sports, so the likelihood of a player committing a major crime is unlikely. Furthermore, legal scandals lack the excitement that moral scandals do. Everyone had an opinion on what Tiger did, and that differs from the way legal proceedings pan out. When someone breaks the law, it is fairly cut and dry, but with moral issues, it creates discussion and interest.
The reputation of "hockey boys" is well known to most, and it is surprising that more scandals involving hockey players have not bubbled to the surface in years past. But if there ever does come a day when serious allegations are brought forth against a player, with proof to back them up, it could mean big things for the league publicity wise.
We live with a 24/7 new cycle that has become completely digitized, therefore the likes of TMZ and other major tabloid publications would be all over such a story. The closest thing that the league has come to a scandal in recent years was Sean Avery's reference to his "sloppy seconds", he was resultantly cut from the Dallas Stars, so it is tough to say what kind of impact this scandal would have on the player(s) involved and the league as a whole.
But it might just be what the league needs in order to become relevant to those who are simply not familiar with the game of hockey. Those who do not follow any sport or aspect of society simply require a touchpoint which they previously lacked in order to familiarize themselves. If someone who does not regularly follow hockey is exposed to such a scandal that they have a strong opinion about, they are more likely to have an interest in the player, team and sport as a whole.
With more players utilizing social media, and with everyone having camera phone, the likelihood of such a situation taking place is on the horizon. It will now be interesting to see how it plays out in the media.

15 March 2012 at 11:52am
I get this error when sending out a newsletter.
I do not get this error when I do a test email of the newsletter.
It only does it when I sent to mailing list.
I am using SS 2.4, dataobject manager and swfupload.
The newsletter archive is not working also.
I really would appreciate some help on this. As I am doing this site for my childrens school.
I very eagerly look forward to hearing from you.

Firstly I'd advise using a stable release of anything if you expect it to work out of the box (and of course use the version of silverstripe it is stable against) - "rc1" means release candidate - aka something that may be a stable release but we don't know yet
" Javascript Parse Error"
do you have a more info on that, like if firefox, use firebug to give the exact javascript error
"The newsletter archive is not working also."
again what does "doesn't work" mean?

I just clicked on the download link in the silverstripe modules section, thinking it was the most current stable release.
I will go look at all the alternative downloads for the newsletter module.
As for the newsletter archive, it archives the newsletter but the link does not go to the actual newsletter it go's to the front page.
I will do some more fiddling today and see. I will get firebug and see what is exactly going on.

This is likely *extremely* out of date. I'd check the silverstipe (maybe silverstripe-labs) github. Also there are a bunch of "extra" newsletter modules that will provide extra functionality - but the key is to search github - rather than this website. I know it doesn't make sense! I will be raising this issue to help get new users started easier...
Re: Newsletter 0.40 rc1 - Javascript Parse Error
16 March 2012 at 10:01am
thank- you so much. I will check github and see.
It is very confusing for new users to SS - and for me, I love plug n play mods that work out of the box.

Ok, I downloaded the github files for newsletter and the newsletter-viewarchive. Thanks for the advice about getting everything from github
Everything is working, except the email is not been sent. But it says it has been.
I set the admin email in mysite/_config.php - as per the instructions in the readme file for both.
Created my newsletter and my email template.
Don't really know how to use firebug to diagnose. As no errors came up for newsletter, it sent in lovely green text my newsletter was sent.
As you can see I have the archive page now. http://demo.senilityguild.com/ - just need to make some tweaks and a title to the template.

Dunbarton votes to pull students out of Goffstown schools
The first vote, which was 286 to 161, was to reject continuation of an Authorized Regional Enrollment Area agreement with Goffstown. The second vote, which was 298-101, was to send Dunbarton's students to Bow.
The move means a loss of approximately $2 million in revenue to the Goffstown School District, which translates to a possible tax hike of approximately $1.40 per $1,000 of property valuation, according to Goffstown Budget Committee Chairman Peter Georgantas. Voters in Goffstown rejected the school budget and a $14.5 million bond in voting last Tuesday.
Mountain View Middle School and Goffstown High School currently house students from Goffstown, Dunbarton and New Boston.
The Mountain View Middle School principal, Jim Hunt, who was facing increasing criticism for allegedly creating a dysfunctional and hostile educational environment for faculty and staff, resigned Friday. Some had speculated his resignation could prompt Dunbarton voters to stick with Goffstown.
The school district commissioned a consultant, at a cost of $35,500, to examine any problems at the middle school and recommend solutions. Hunt did not participate in the consultant's study. The consultant's report, finished recently, did not directly address the criticisms of Hunt's leadership but did acknowledge a prevailing sentiment among students and staff that improvements were needed in the academic, social and professional climate at the school.
SAU 19 Superintendent of Schools Stacy Buckley also is leaving, after taking a position as superintendent in the Newfound Area School District in Bristol. She has said an interim principal will be hired while officials look for Hunt's permanent replacement.
The agreement between Bow and Dunbarton will take effect July 1, 2014, and many Dunbarton students will leave Goffstown's schools in September 2014, though not all at once. Discussions will be under way for a phase-out of those students who want to graduate from Goffstown High School, officials said.
The Dunbarton Community Center, which is also the Dunbarton Elementary School's gym and cafeteria, was filled to its 550-person maximum on Saturday, according to Fire Chief Jon Wiggin. At one point, it was announced that no one else would be permitted to enter the room.
"This is unprecedented, the number of people here," Moderator Fred Mullen said.
Voters debated the enrollment area issue for two hours before the vote was called, with some asking questions about Hunt's resignation.
Voters were mixed on whether Hunt's resignation had an impact on the vote.
"I personally don't think so," John Trottier said. "I've had no problems with Mountain View."
"I think it could have, but I don't think it was discussed enough," David Schroeder said.
Resident Theresa Williamson said she "did a happy dance" when she heard of Hunt's resignation, but had still planned to vote in favor of Goffstown.
After the vote, she said she was disgusted.
"Half of the kids will stay in Goffstown, and half will go to Bow," she said, adding that Dunbarton students attending Goffstown High likely will be able to complete their education in Goffstown. "I think that will fragment our community."
"I'm devastated," said resident Anne Carney. "I just felt we were so much of a community there."
Those in favor of Bow spoke highly of its reputation and small size, even those who do not yet have school-aged children.
"We're pleased," said Allison Rees, who has a 20-month daughter. She said she preferred Bow because it was more convenient, but she liked the size of Goffstown schools.
"I'm responsible for my children's education, no matter what school they go to," said husband Scott Mills.
Beth Ayers said she was "ecstatic" about the outcome, citing a preference for Bow's smaller size, its likeness to Dunbarton and academic reputation.
Bow Superintendent of Schools Dean Cascadden said he is looking forward to working to transition Dunbarton's students into the Bow community.
"We're excited," he said. "We're really looking forward to having Dunbarton as a partner."
Cascadden said his district will work on a transition that will work for Dunbarton students and their families.
"There is a lot of work to be done," he said.
Voters also approved all other warrant articles:
-- The district's operating budget of $5.4 million, which saw an increase from the floor of $50,000, to pay for a fifth-grade teacher position that had been cut.
-- A three-year collective bargaining agreement for teachers.
-- A $31,570 deposit to the Dunbarton School Capital Reserve Fund.
-- $1,000 for the Dunbarton Kitchen Equipment Fund.

Entry #5
Good news is, progress is (dare i say, lest i tempt the heavens) going rather well, and we are seeing a stabilization of a release date. now here comes quite a pile of bad news. on the new computer we got, internet as a whole decided to give up, making things difficult. I have tried getting Unity onto it(through laptop then flashdrive the new pc), but it needs interenet. now, we are looking for other game creation softwares, since our current one isn't going to last us forever.

You will find here a wide range of papers and the search engine will enable you to look up anything of particular interest.
The topics covered include greenhouse gas theory; solar and planetary influences on the earth's climate; predictions of future climate; the history of climate change; the economics of energy and technology; energy security; the role of the IPCC in promoting global warming hysteria; the response of Australia's governments to the decarbonisation campaigns of the Environmentalist movement and the media.
There is no real science to be found in the subject of global warming. Modern studies of global warming could be traced back to Charney et al., 1979 . This paper was produced by a study group created by the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, Climate Research Board, USA, charged with the task of producing an assessment of the 'carbon dioxide/climate issue'.
The paper of Charney et al., 1979, consists of nothing but modelling. It's exactly the same as dozens of other modelling studies on the complexities of the atmosphere, each having its own peculiarities on minutia. Such modelling is nothing resembling science. Numerous factors are admitted to be too vague to be included. The factors which are included are so complex that the numbers used are nothing but guesses. If politicians want the best guess possible, that doesn't make it science. (http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~brianpm/download/charney_report.pdf)
Modelling is the opposite of science, as it is a method of imposing subjective motives onto people. Science has the purpose of putting an end to that fraud. Continue reading...
Personal Submission to the Senate Committee on Recent Trends in and Preparedness for Extreme Weather Events. South-Eastern Australia needs to prepare for hot dry conditions in the summer of 2019 and possible extensive flooding in 2029.
We are all aware of the climate enthusiasts, who advocate quite substantial, and costly, responses to what they see as irrefutable evidence that the world's climate faces catastrophe. By employing a sanctimonious tone against people who do not share their view, they show their true colours: to them the cause has become a substitute religion. Increasingly offensive language is used. The most egregious example has been the term "denier".
We are all aware of the particular meaning that word has acquired in contemporary parlance. It has been employed in this debate with some malice aforethought. An overriding feature of the debate is the constant attempt to intimidate policy makers, in some cases successfully, with the mantras of "follow the science" and "the science is truly settled".
The purpose is to create the impression that there is really no room for argument; this is not really a public policy issue; it is one on which the experts have spoken, and we would all be quite daft to do other than follow the prescriptions, it is asserted, which flow automatically from the scientific findings. Continue reading...
"Various commentators are telling us we must have a "price on carbon". One presumes they mean that we need to levy a tax on emissions of carbon dioxide, which is not quite the same thing. Currently NSW is suffering from the worst bushfires for a decade. These bushfires are emitting many megatonnes of CO2, arguably equivalent to Australia's annual emissions of anthropogenic CO2. Does the atmospheric CO2 from bushfires play a different climate control role to mankind's emissions? If not, then who is to pay the tax on them? This on-going "carbon" lunacy becomes increasingly difficult to challenge, since the language and the slogans used by the Warmists have no connection with the real world."
"The story from Germany becomes increasingly fantastic (although tragic for the Germans). The account of a secret deal between Germany and the UK in which Germany could save its auto industry, and Britain keep its financial services sector in good health is something out of Fawlty Towers - "Don't mention the War".

The meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in Stockholm this week is arguably the most important in its 25-year history. The meeting is to finalise the fifth IPCC assessment report, the UN's formal advice to governments.
Since the release of the fourth report in 2007, the IPCC finds itself battling to retain credibility as a source of independent advice to governments.
Parliamentary and semi-judicial inquiries were held in Britain following unintended public access to email exchanges held by the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. The emails involved scientists and others associated with the IPCC process. No wrong-doing was attributed to the scientists but questions of probity and bias were left unanswered. Continue reading...
Written by Bob Carter and John Spooner, Taxing Air: Facts and Fallacies About Climate Change was successfully launched by Senator Cory Bernardi at the Bert Kelly Research Centre in Adelaide on 29 July.
Speakers at the launch included Lydia Bevege (Institute of Public Affairs), Centre Chairman Bob Day and author Prof. Bob Carter. More information and images here.
George Fox AM was a founding member of the Lavoisier Group. He had a long career with the English Electric Company as managing director for Australia, after which at age 55 he formed his own small business which he ran for the next 43 years. He was on the boards of 12 companies, represented numerous manufacturers, ranging from turbine blades to arc furnaces to transportation systems and spent much time and energy giving back to the profession. For more than a decade he championed a realistic and fact-based view of climate change, deriding false science.
He was made a Member of the Order of Australia for services to engineering in 2007 and also received the James N Kirby Award for outstanding contributions to electrical engineering.
George Fox died in June 2012 aged 98. His memorial service was held in Pymble on 14 June which noted that he was still on the board of one company at the time of his passing. He had had a huge innings, packing in the '60 seconds worth of distance run' every waking minute. He had completed the text of his book at the time of his death. "Reflections of a Professional Engineer" was launched on Wednesday 19 December 2012 at 4.30pm at Engineers Australia Auditorium in Chatswood in Sydney.
Further information may be found here. Ray Evans' obituary notice is here.
Copies of the book will be available on the evening for purchase, at $65.00 nett. Cash or cheque payable to 'ECF Engineering Pty Ltd'. To obtain a copy please write to Robert Fox at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"How many excuses does it take? The Western Climate Establishment has allowed egregious mistakes, major errors, and obvious biases to accumulate - each factor on its own might be hard to pin down, but the pattern is undeniable."

In November 2009, an anonymous whistleblower put just over 1000 emails comprising email traffic to and from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) on an obscure Russian website. They were subsequently rapidly disseminated around the world.
These emails show a tightly knit cabal of scientists adjusting temperature data to conform to their political agenda; exerting pressure to censor publications going into the "peer reviewed" literature (usually with complete success); bullying journalists with threats of excommunication so that what was published in the mainstream media was in accordance with the global warming agenda; and using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the primary vehicle for their political ambitions.
To work through these emails, in order to discover what was going on, is a major undertaking. John Costella has provided us with an edited and annotated account of the emails which enables the lay person, in a relatively short time, to understand what was going on and how it was done.
This PDF version of the published book will provide access to everyone who is concerned with this great debate. It is available here.
Back to the Nineteenth Century, comprises three essays by Ray Evans (on the social and economic consequences of the CPRS), Tom Quirk (on the shortcomings of the IPCC science) and Alan Moran (on the economic consequences of the Act, especially for energy), together with a foreword by Peter Walsh.
The publication is available in either of two forms: as hard copy or as an online PDF file. To order a hard copy, please send your details to the Secretary here. Please include your name and postal address and the number of copies you would like to receive. The Lavoisier Group would be grateful to receive donations to cover postage and printing costs.
If preferred, the booklet may also be downloaded as a PDF file. To download it, please click here [2.9 Mb PDF].

99% of the stuff I've read today about gender politics lately is just a bunch of women saying all men are bigoted misogynists who tell rape jokes wrong and can't recognize their privilege, and a bunch of men saying all women are bigoted misandrists who cry rape whenever they want to get out of trouble and want men to become the inferior gender.
Excuse me while I bang my head against a wall for an hour.

Fashion Diaries: Tribal Tales
Written on January 20, 2012 at 9:44 am , by Marla Horenbein
Earlier this week the fashion and beauty departments teamed up to shoot one of our April beauty features (get ready for some amazing spring makeup!) and we put a cool tribal spin on it to showcase one of our favorite spring fashion trends. We all had such a blast at the photo shoot, playing around with fun prints, bright colors and tons of sky-high, stacked heels. You'll have to wait until our April issue hits newsstands in mid-March to see the final outcome, but until then, here is a little sneak peek of our day, with some behind the scenes footage!
Click here to see how to trick out your own wardrobe in tribal prints!
Since tribal is such a big trend for the spring, we thought it would be appropriate to put together a little round up of some of our favorite tribal pieces. Can you picture yourself adding any of these funky pieces to your wardrobe?

I love the value that I get from Overstock, and our orders ALWAYS arrive quickly and are accurate. This is the first time that I have been disappointed -- my daughter wanted a black bed frame -- which is what the description for this bed indicated -- but this is not a black bed. I will continue to order from Overstock - I love their products, prices, selection and service. And I will keep the bed because we are moving and I need it immediately.

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 7)...Throughout the history of boxing, generations of family members have come together to watch the sweet science. Whether it was fathers and sons watching fights together or grandfathers buying tickets to take their grandsons to stadiums or arenas, the sport has always been a family affair. Now, with top pay-per-view events being televised live nationwide, it's not uncommon for three generations (or more) to gather in the same room and share in the thrills of major prize fights.
This is certainly true with boxing's massive Mexican and Mexican-American fan bases and it's no accident that there's a major fight card on the Saturday of Mexican Independence Day weekend every year. It's an ideal night for bringing these families together and this year is no different with "STAR POWER: Mayweather vs. Ortiz" Saturday, Sept. 17 from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as well as STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. This event will provide the kind of ultra high quality fight card from top to bottom that offers something for fans of every generation.
Maybe Grandpa doesn't yet know and love the new stars of the fight game, but he certainly knows and loves Erik "El Terible" Morales. With the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez long retired, Morales now represents the "old guard" of Mexican warriors, a blood-and-guts aggressor from the traditional all-action Mexican mold who has been delighting audiences for more than 18 years. He is a throwback to whoever was the most popular Mexican fighter of the older fan's youth, whether that was Kid Azteca, Ruben Olivares, Carlos Zarate or Salvador Sanchez. For fans who love Morales, his fight on Sept. 17 against knockout-minded Lucas Matthysse might feel like the main event of the evening.
For slightly younger fans, those in their twenties perhaps, it's rising star "Vicious" Victor Ortiz who might be their favorite. Ortiz, a Kansas-born, California-based Mexican-American who faces the challenge of a lifetime against the best in Floyd Mayweather in the evening's main event, is the fighter who's been developing in front of our eyes for the last five years, rising from prospect to contender to champion. If he defeats Mayweather, he'll instantly become the hottest Hispanic attraction in all of boxing.
However, what if you're a little younger, a Mexican or Mexican-American teenager or a pre-teen kid beginning to follow in Dad and Granddad's footsteps as a fight fan? Then your favorite is probably Guadalajara's Canelo Alvarez, the undefeated super welterweight sensation who'll be headlining STAPLES Center portion of the event against Mexican-American veteran Alfonso Gomez. If there's a young woman at the family pay-per-view gathering, you'd better believe Canelo is the fighter on this card who will grab her attention.
If that's not enough, don't forget Jessie Vargas, the unbeaten 22-year-old from Las Vegas who represented Mexico in the 2008 Olympics. Like Alvarez and Ortiz, he's a star of the future that today's kids might be telling their grandchildren about in the future.
For many years, Oscar de la Hoya's fights were associated with the Mexican Independence Day weekend. There was his domination of Hector Camacho in '97, his rematch with the iconic Chavez in '98, his superfight with Felix Trinidad in '99 that set the record at the time for a non-heavyweight fight with 1.4 million pay per view buys, his grudge match with Fernando Vargas in '02, his second fight with Shane Mosley in '03 and his challenge of Bernard Hopkins in '04. Prior to De La Hoya's rise, the holiday weekend belonged to Chavez; he fought Mario Martinez in '84, Lonnie Smith in '91, Camacho in '92, Meldrick Taylor in a rematch in '94, David Kamau in '95 and finally De La Hoya in '98. De La Hoya and Chavez both fought six times in headlining bouts on Mexican Independence Day weekend.
In more recent years, the weekend has been spread among other beloved Mexican fighters. Marco Antonio Barrera defeated Robbie Peden in '05 and Rocky Juarez in '06. Juan Manuel Marquez took center stage against Joel Casamayor in '08 and Mayweather in '09. In 2010, both Canelo Alvarez and Victor Ortiz turned in show-stealing performances on the undercard of the event topped by Mosley's fight with Sergio Mora.
Major boxing events are a great Mexican Independence Day weekend tradition and this year, it will be a tradition that the whole family-every generation-will enjoy. From the opening bout until Mayweather and Ortiz are in the ring and Michael Buffer is bellowing "Let's get ready to rumble!," STAR POWER is precisely the type of event fans have come to expect on Mexican Independence Day weekend.
# # #
"STAR POWER: Mayweather vs. Ortiz" is a mega-event taking place Saturday, Sept. 17 from two world-class cities with three world titles at stake.

A Gamboa Loss Good for Business?
By Chip Mitchell : As early as 2008, a winner-takes-all showdown between undefeated featherweights Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa seemed inevitable. It was a 50/50 fight if there ever was one, and Bob Arum proclaimed that it could be built to be the biggest featherweight fight of all time.
Top Rank Boxing began promoting cards that featured Lopez and Gamboa in co-feature fights. The effort was made to develop the proposed battle into mega-fight status. Hardcore boxing fans, as well as casual observers began to clamor for the fight to take place. Arum had other plans, however, and as subsequent fights and years went by, many wondered if the fight would occur.
Each time Arum was pressed with the question, he would say that the time wasnt right. He wanted to continue building it up to a mega-fight, one that crossover fans and boxing purists alike would desire to see.
Top Rank then came up with an idea, which was to have JuanMa Lopez and El Ciclon de Guantánamo Gamboa fight common opponents. It was a good idea, but risky because of the unforgiving nature of the sport of boxing. For example, if JuanMa looked light-years better than Gamboa versus the same opponent, the luster of a mega-fight could dampen a bit.
Funny thing, that sport of boxing. There are no guarantees, and on the night of October 10, 2009, the luster of a mega-fight did diminish a bit. The place was Madison Square Gardens WaMu Theater, where a spirited crowd watched Lopez enter the ring against Rogers Mtagwa. The first six rounds went as expected and Lopez was clearly in charge. The seventh round featured a right hand by Mtagwa that staggered Lopez a bit. Lopez didnt look too hurt but he began to eat Mtagwas leather.
In four of the next five rounds, Mtagwa put the Lopez/Gamboa match-up in serious jeopardy as he gave Lopez a serious beating during their exchanges. Lopez miraculously survived the twelfth round and gutted out a decision victory. News out of the Lopez camp was that JuanMa had problems making weight, and that hed move up to 126 pounds.
The Gamboa fight was still on, as Yuriorkis cruised to a fourth round stoppage of Whyber Garcia.
The next time these two warriors were featured, JuanMa was able to stop a game Steven Luevano. It was a good win against a fighter who had five title defenses, and had never been knocked out.
Earlier that night, Gamboa beat Rogers Mtagwa (yes, that one) via second round TKO. It was easy work, a term talented fighters have used in the past to describe scintillating ring performances.
By now, some felt the luster had worn off to the point that they implored Arum to make the fight as soon as possible. Arum wouldnt hear of it, and told all within listening distance that the fight was still quite a ways down the road.
Gamboa fought Orlando Salido in 2010 and won a unanimous decision. JuanMa won a thrilling fight about two months later against Rafael Marquez. Lopez had his breakout fight and seemed to have reached star status. Fans again asked for the JuanMa/Gamboa match-up.
Top Rank wanted to build the fight up even more and on April 16, 2011, the unthinkable happened. JuanMa fought Orlando Salido (yes, that one) in Puerto Rico and was stopped (while standing). The referee, Roberto Ramirez, Jr thought JuanMa had taken enough punishment. The luster of a super-fight with Gamboa had just about lost its gleam.
As I poll hardcore boxing fans on occasion, most feel Gamboa will run through JuanMa if they meet. I usually ask a follow-up question such as if they felt the same way two years prior. Most feel that it wouldve been an even fight in 2008, but it has taken too long to make. I counter that Bob Arum is one of the best promoters and part of the reason is because he can build certain fighters up and get them a solid fan base. Most fans I polled agree and still hope that the fight happens.
I ask myself, what would change their opinion that this could once again be a 50/50 fight? The answer is simple and its already been visited in this story. A common opponent!
If Daniel Ponce de Leon can beat Yuriorkis Gamboa this weekend, the pendulum will swing back towards JuanMa and make it closer to being the even fight it was a few years ago. JuanMa had an easy work night against Ponce de Leon (yes, that one) in 2008. He won by first round TKO. A win over Mike Oliver in October and a rematch victory over Salido would surely bring the odds back to 50/50.
Fans stay tuned. A victory on HBO this Saturday by Ponce de Leon over Yuriorkis Gamboa doesnt just do wonders for his career. It will also play a part in boosting fans belief that JuanMa can still beat Gamboa. More so, a Gamboa loss will help facilitate Top Ranks original quest to make this an even money mega-fight that hardcore and casual fans want to see.
LOS ANGELES, September 8 - Female boxing icon Mia St. John will be one of the guest speakers along with First Lady Michelle Obama to talk about the need for more mental health programs on Monday Sept. 12 in Washington D.C.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute of Public Policy conference will host a three day event pinpointing mental health issues and an ever-growing population of people that are not covered under current mental health programs.
St. John, a former world champion prizefighter from Los Angeles and perhaps women boxing's most famous athlete, has been a strong proponent for school-based mental health programs.
"The need for strong support of mental health programs has been a target for Mia St. John for many years," said Laguna Beach's Claudia Ollis, a woman's boxing advocate and promoter assisting St. John. "She's a pugilist and a fighter for mental health needs especially for the youth."
St. John, a former lightweight world champion, is currently working toward a rematch with another boxing icon Christy "The Coalminer's Daughter" Martin. They last fought in 2009.

Greatest Movie On Earth
So I'm watching 8 seconds, an amazing country movie about a bull rider who becomes the world champion. The intensity, love, and thrill that this movie provides is utterly fantastic. I wish that directors and producers still made movies like this one!
Have you seen this movie? If you haven't you should go rent it or find it on Netflix. If your a country person and haven't seen it, it will make you love the country even more and wish you were a bull rider or knew one. =)

In November of 1970 (it's november now too, spooky) a family of hikers stumbled across a mostly charred body of an unidentifiable naked woman hidden in Isdalen valley near Bergen, Norway, an area often appropriately termed as "Death Valley." Known as the Isdal woman, the details surrounding her apparent murder are still unsolved to this day.
Found near the body were sleeping pills and bottles of gas. The woman's prints had been sanded away, and all the tags had been removed from the clothing she wore. She was eventually linked to some abandoned suitcases found at a train station in Bergen. In the suitcases, police found a prescription for lotion (details such as the doctor's name and and date had been removed), 500 german marks, and a coded diary that was eventually deciphered. Police concluded the diary contained places the dead woman had previously visited. Her teeth revealed she had had dental work done in Latin America.
Some phantom drawings were done up of the mysterious woman and several witnesses came forth, including a young hiker that saw her five days before her body was discovered. He said that the woman came toward him with a look of fear on her face, but eventually passed without saying anything, appearing to be too afraid of two men in black coats that were following her at a distance.
Other witnesses reported that she often wore wigs, changed hotels frequently, and spoke multiple languages. Her case remained unsolved, though the general theory is that the woman was possibly a spy during the Cold War. Her case bears a striking resemblance to the Taman Shud murder, another unsolved mystery.
