RCCC offering eight-week mini-semester
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will offer an eight-week, fall mini-semester beginning Monday, Oct. 21. Morning, afternoon and evening courses are offered in addition to online classes.
"This is a great time to get started at Rowan-Cabarrus! You can still have some credits accomplished by the holiday season," said Leslie Brown, Student Government Association president.
The mini-semester includes courses such as expository writing, introduction to computers, argument-based research, western civilization, advanced word/information processing, psychology and sociology.
"The great thing about the mini-semester is that it gives students the opportunity to earn full course credits in half the time," said Dr. Carol S. Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus. "Between the mini-semester and our continuing education classes that are provided on a rotating basis year-round, students can enroll in courses at any time to get the education they need."
Classes are intensive and offer the opportunity to complete the courses in a compressed amount of time. Please keep in mind, if you are a student who tends to struggle in classes, you may not wish to take a condensed class. Please talk with an academic advisor for guidance on this and your educational plan. Classes will conclude Dec. 17.
The college will hold mini-semester registration on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Navigation Station on both North and South campuses. Complete an application at www.rccc.edu/onestop/622/apply-to-the-college/ and perform placement testing at least two days prior to registration.
Additionally, financial aid assistance through the federal government takes time to process, so act as soon as possible if you're planning to utilize this assistance. For complete details, see the Rowan-Cabarrus website at www.rccc.edu/recordsregistration/ or stop in to the Rowan-Cabarrus Navigation Station, the college's student services one-stop center.
The "Completion Agenda" is a national goal for America to lead the world in college graduates by 2020. Community colleges across the country, including Rowan-Cabarrus, are joining together under this goal in a unified effort to increase the rate of postsecondary completion.
"We want our students to come through our doors and get the certificate, diploma, or degree they need to move on with their careers. Completing courses in a condensed period of time is part of that commitment," said Spalding.
Rowan-Cabarrus is located at Interstate 85 (exit 75) and Jake Alexander Boulevard, in Salisbury (North Campus) and at 1531 Trinity Church Road, just off I-85 and N.C. 73 at exit 55 (South Campus). For more information about Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, visit www.rccc.edu or call 704-216-7222.

Brent Bookwalter's 11th-place finish proved to be the BMC Racing Team's top performance Thursday on the challenging mountain-top finish at Mt. Nebo at the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.
Hincapie Crashes
Bookwalter was one of three BMC Racing Team riders in the top 10 before the 129-kilometer race. But he and Jeff Louder couldn't match the pace of stage winner Levi Leipheimer (Mellow Johnny's) and George Hincapie crashed out after hitting some gravel. "I didn't feel especially good today," Bookwalter said. "I felt substantially worse than yesterday. Towards the top of the climb, I was really picking guys off, but it was too little, too late." Bookwalter is now ninth, 2:24 behind Leipheimer, the new race leader.

Anonymous asks:
In the past week my 8yo son has asked about rape, semen, sex and how HIV is transmitted - triggered by school discussions and newspaper articles. Last weekend I left him playing a game on the Internet and later saw he had accessed sex and porn sites. Last night he sat down in from of the tv and started masturbating. I answered his questions, he denied hed accessed the sex sites on the Internet (wasn't certain it was him) so I told him that they were not appropriate and instituted parental controls, and simply sent him to bed last night....didn't know quite how to react. He hasn't lived with me for some of the year during a custody issue, so not sure if this is age appropriate or if I should have concerns. Please advise, thanks.In Topics: Communicating with my child (The tough talks)

NASCAR driver charged second time in hauler theft
Authorities have charged a NASCAR driver for the second time in two weeks after a competitor accused him of taking her race car hauler. This weekend the Rowan County Sheriff's Office again charged Mike Harmon, 59, with felony obstructing justice and seized his cell phone.
Harmon, a driver for the Camping World Truck Series, is accused of taking the 53-foot Ultra Trailer, valued at $279,000 from Jennifer Jo Cobb of JJC Racing. Cobb also races in the Camping World Truck Series. Rowan investigators released a short surveillance video a week ago taken by JJC Racing of the hauler being pulled away from the Performance Road shop in Mooresville.
A Rowan Sheriff's investigator said Harmon acknowledged to the detective he knew the location of the trailer and promised to return it on May 14, a search warrant affidavit said. The trailer has not been returned, officials said.
According to the affidavit, a witness to the theft identified a woman, who investigators believe is Harmon's girlfriend Sheila Rae Rice, also known as Sheila Cordell, move a tractor trailer in order to steal the car hauler.
Rowan investigators charged Rice, 38, of Hickory along with Harmon, with felony larceny and breaking and entering a motor vehicle. Harmon turned himself into authorities. Both were released May 15 from a Cleveland County jail, each after posting a $10,000 secured bond. Harmon was released from the Rowan County jail after posting a $20,000 secured bond. Investigators took Harmon's cell phone Friday.
Investigators will use his cell to track text messages, images, numbers he dialed, emails and Internet chats or website postings.
Harmon has maintained his innocence, claiming he was at a race in Darlington, S.C., when the trailer was taken.
In the affidavit, a detective said on May 14 he spoke with Carl Long at Harmon's shop. Long told the detective he drove Harmon's semitrailer from Darlington and Harmon was behind him in a pickup. Long left the keys to the semitrailer as Harmon requested. Harmon was at his shop when Long left, according to Long.
This weekend in addition to Harmon and Rice, Rowan Sheriff's investigators charged David E. Novak, 45, of Tinley Park, Ill. with felony conspiring to commit felony larceny and felony obstructing justice. Novak is Cobb's former business partner, both of whom have been involved in an ongoing dispute.
The warrant said one of Cobb's crew members gave investigators Novak, Harmon and Rice's names and said Novak was someone the team had a dispute with in the past.
Novak and Cobb have disputed over who was rightful owner of the hauler and other racing equipment. They parted ways last December and remain in litigation.
In February, Novak made news when he had a team van confiscated from Cobb in Daytona Beach, Fla., while she was making a public appearance with her race team, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. According to the report, Novak claimed he was the rightful owner to the van and supplied police with documents showing he had made payments and held the insurance on the van. Harmon said he is in the middle of the quarrel because he helped set up the joint venture between Cobb and Novak in 2010. Harmon said he helped Novak retrieve the trailer from Cobb last December and it was taken to a site in Denver, N.C.
In January, Cobb said she took the trailer back and brought it to her shop because she was the rightful owner. She's been using it ever since.
Harmon told a detective, according to a search warrant, he would tell the detective where the hauler was located if the detective "promised him it would not be returned to the victim."
The detective said when he arrived at Harmon's shop on May 13 he saw a black semitrailer that appeared identical to the truck used in the theft as seen on security surveillance.
The next day when Harmon did not deliver the hauler, Harmon said he "changed his mind and was prepared to be arrested if necessary," the warrant said.
Cobb said she was not in a court battle with Harmon, but with Novak. She also said she never accused him of taking the hauler. Harmon is probably best known for a horrific crash during practice at Bristol in 2002. His car was demolished when it hit Bristol's crossover gate, nearly splitting his car in half.

Quick Takes On Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, And Elvis Costello
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Fans are complaining that Led Zeppelin's new concert film, Celebration Day, is not being played loudly enough in movie theaters across America. The band took to their Facebook page to let fans know they are working on the problem, saying: "We have been made aware that at some screenings of Celebration Day, there have been complaints that the sound is not loud enough. Omniverse, the film's distributors, has been working with local cinema chains to ensure that this issue is addressed urgently. However, it is a good idea to check with the cinema before the screening that they will be playing it loud!"
Neil Young will take part in Twitter's #LegendsOnTwitter campaign and answer fans questions today (October 24th). Young, who'll release his second album of the year with Crazy Horse on October 30th, called Psychedelic Pill, will answer questions from fans tweeted to his Twitter handle @neilyoung with the hashtag #AskNeil .
According to the usually reliable Bob Dylan fan site, BobDylanIsis.com, sources are saying that Sony is prepping two 2013 releases for the ongoing Dylan Bootleg Series. In regards to Volume 10, the site posted "Although we have not received official information regarding this release, we understand that the powers that be are considering something from the 1969/70 period." Volume 11 in the series is believed to be culled -- at least in part -- from the 1974 sessions for the following year's Blood On The Tracks album.
Coming on November 19th will be the new Elvis Costello compilation, called, In Motion Pictures. The set collects all of Costello's songs over the past 32 years, which have appeared in such notable big screen soundtracks as E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, The Godfather: Part III, Notting Hill, and The Big Lebowski, among others. (Vintage Vinyl News)
We asked Costello about the fact that he's always leaned more towards the abstract when talking about his life in his music, rather than being a traditional "confessional" singer/songwriter: "I would say that there's certainly some records I could think of I made that were informed by transitions I was going through in my life, I know that's the case. And I don't think you're going to make a record that's exactly the mirror of, say a John Lennon record, or whatever it is -- a (Fleetwood Mac) Rumours -- y'know, by that if you're talking about a divorce record, where it's more overt and almost in order to appreciate it fully, people needed to know what the back story was. Y'know, people have always wanted to project onto records what the assume are the circumstances that created them."
The tracklist to Elvis Costello's In Motion Pictures is:
"Accidents Will Happen" (from the film E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial)
"Lover's Walk" (from the film The Shape Of Things)
"Miracle Man" (from the film The Godfather: Part III)
"Life Shrinks" (from the film The War Of The Buttons)
"Crawling To The U.S.A." (from the film Americathon)
"Seven Day Weekend" (with Jimmy Cliff) (from the film Club Paradise)
"Days" (from the film Until The End Of The World)
"I Want You" (from the film I Want You)
"You Stole My Bell" (from the film The Family Man)
"My Mood Swings" (from the film The Big Lebowski)
"Oh Well" (from the film Prison Song)
"God Give Me Strength" (from the film Grace Of My Heart)
"Sparkling Day" (from the film One Day)
"She" (from the film Notting Hill)
"A Town Called Big Nothing" (from the film Straight To Hell)

Tracing gets you nowhere.I remember when I was a kid, I'd record Saturday morning cartoons, play them back, pause the image, put a piece of paper over the screen and trace my favourite characters.Now this was really hard in the VHS era, because a paused image on a VHS is usually either broken up or shakes so much that you'll have some kind of fit if you look at it too long, it depended on how cheap and sh*tty your machine was.But I worked really hard at it, man. I spent ages getting the linework just right, I was so careful, and when I peeled the page from the static cling of the bulbous, cathode ray tube screen, the character looked exactly right on the page. And you wanna know what I took away from that endeavour? What all that effort taught me?Jack f**king sh*t.You don't pick up or develop any skills by tracing. You don't devise and perfect your own methods by tracing. You do not progress as an artist by tracing. All you get is a loss of credibility, especially in this day and age, bec
That time of year again!I can't believe it's been a whole year since I've updated my journal! Sorry for being so out of touch. As usual, my lame excuse is that I'm busy - but for a not-lame reason, at least. If you haven't already heard, I'm directing my first feature film. Its an animated comedy based on the myth of Medusa. We're in the early phases of development at Sony Pictures Animation, and I'm in a daily state of shock and gratitude for the opportunity.But that's not why I'm posting!Ironically, and embarrassingly, the very last journal I posted - a whole year ago - was to announce the same thing. My pals at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, CA are holding their annual fundraiser on Oct. 25 from 4-7 and I'd like to extend an invitation to all my DA friends!And just like last year, I'll be there to chat and sign stuff. So bring your MLP or Powerpuff goodies that are in need of a name scribbled on them! You can purchase tickets

Tracing and EmulationAfter reading through the comments in my previous journal, I feel the need to clarify a couple of things.First: Tracing. Does. Not. Help. You. Improve. Your. Art.Never has, never will and you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.Second: Emulation is not tracing. People seem to be having trouble telling the difference.Tracing does not teach you anything because all you're doing is copying the line work of an existing image. All the real work has already been done. You're not learning how the image is constructed or discovering for yourself how to use your drawing tools to create the desired effect. You'd be better off just outright copy/pasting the base image and saving yourself the time.Emulation on the other hand, be it simply trying to recreate an existing image by eye or (even better) going all out and trying to adopt an existing style, does improve your method.

Global News Journal
Beyond the World news headlines
from Afghan Journal:
Pomegranates, dust, rose gardens and war
On a hilltop in central Kabul, the relics of Soviet armoured vehicles sit in the shadow of an incongruously vast and empty swimming pool. A tower of diving boards looks down into the concrete carcass built by the Russians. Boys play football there and on Fridays the basin is used for dog fights; combat is the only option for the canine gladiators, as they cannot climb up the sheer, steep sides. From the vantage point you can see the city's graveyards, its bright new mosques, the narco-palaces of drug-funded business potentates and the spread of modest brick homes where most Kabulis live. It's a favourite spot for reporters when they need to escape the press of urgent events and get cleaner air in their lungs.
For years journalists have sought to tell stories that go beyond the conflict in Afghanistan. We've tried to portray this country - the crossroads of central Asia, the summer home of Moghul emperors, the cockpit of clashing empires - as more than a place of blood, deprivation and extremism. Amid the dust and the heat it has its oases of tranquility, its laughter and its charms. From the market stalls of sweet pomengranates that line the road in autumn to the rose gardens newly planted in central Kabul, Afghanistan is a place of thorny history, cultural complexity and spartan beauty.
Alas, we cannot ignore the warfare. Great journalistic energy has to go into counting the casualties, explaining the violence and charting the shifting strategies of the combatants. It's a conflict whose outcome is uncertain. The bullets and bombs tear through the flesh of ordinary Afghans, fanatical insurgents and Western soldiers with equal awfulness. A blast takes the life of a child, deprives a wife of a husband and faintly furthers some cause. The impact is immediate and local, but it reverberates harshly in Washington, Delhi, London or Paris.
Can we weave together the warp of war and the weft of daily life in Afghanistan? Yes, in this blog, we hope is the answer. In the tradition of the region's richly patterned carpets, it will be both intricate and stoutly structured, minutely detailed and expansive in scale.

Editorial: Protecting the public no easy job
The pressures police officers face in the line of duty stood out in high relief during the past two weeks. From the bombing in Boston to Salisbury Police Sgt. Mark Hunter's funeral and former officer Kareem Puranda's trial, the public has gained greater appreciation for the risks and responsibilities that go with law enforcement.
First, Boston. The bombs that ripped through crowds at the Boston Marathon left bystanders in a shocked daze, but police instantly swung into action, jumping to the aid of the injured and searching the crowd for suspects and dangers. Working with the FBI, Boston Police swiftly identified the suspects and hunted them down. A search many feared would take months came to a remarkably quick conclusion. Bravo.
Then last week, the sudden death of Salisbury's Sgt. Hunter, felled by a heart attack at 51, brought forward an amazing outpouring of affection and respect.
City residents unfamiliar with the longtime officer before his death now wish they had known him during his career. Known for being harsh toward those who broke the law — and toward some who came close to breaking the law — Hunter showed a kinder side to the people he protected. West End residents shared stories of Hunter routinely shining a light on a frightened widow's home, checking on a friend's home while she was out of town and giving candy to children at McLaughlin's Store, Hunter used action, not words, to demonstrate what a difference an officer's commitment, attention and protection can mean to a community. He will be missed.
In a fateful twist, Hunter had been scheduled to testify for the government last week in the trial of his former partner, the younger Puranda, who faced two counts of violating civil rights by using excessive force during arrests. A video viewed in court showed Puranda body-slamming a suspect; a photo showed the bloodied and bludgeoned face of another arrestee. Other officers testified that they'd seen Puranda use force in a way they considered inappropriate. But Puranda justified his actions by saying he feared for his safety and had to act quickly, and the federal jury found him not guilty. As defense attorney Chris Fialko said, the trial showed what a difficult job police have. Even knowing what constitutes excessive force seems to be a challenge. "The fact that different officers have different opinions shows that it's a gray line on the issue," Fialko said.
Gray indeed. Both Puranda and Hunter were the subject of civil suits that the city settled out of court — for $40,000 in one suit involving both men, and $60,000 in another involving only Puranda.
"The police must obey the law while they enforce the law," Justice Earl Warren once said, and most often they do. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about nine out of 10 people who had contact with police in 2008 felt the officer or officers behaved properly. In those instances when police use force or threatened force, however, 74 percent felt the force was excessive and 84 percent said police acted improperly.
Law enforcement officers have an unenviable job — protecting the public from bombers, thieves and attackers while walking the fine line between subduing suspects and unnecessarily injuring them. They work long hours, face high stress and receive low pay. Thank goodness there are men and women who feel a call to serve the public in this way. They protect us more than we know.

For Christians grace is God's gift of pardon. According to William Barclay the Greek word for grace was originally a military term. When an emperor came to the throne or celebrated a birthday, he would give his troops a donatirim (donation), which was a free gift that they had not earned; it was given out of the goodness of the emperor's heart. This idea was picked up by the Christian scripture writers when they wrote about the grace of God. Grace is something that is unearned and undeserved – unmerited pardon.read more

I think we need some method of communicating with God and prayer is the logical answer. But prayer in which we stop everything we are doing, get down on our knees, fold our hands and pray is not my idea of prayer. I think we should try to communicate with God any time we have a second to think about God or ask God to be with a loved one or friend, or share anything in our life with God. While driving, when watching TV, while on the lake alone, working in the garden, any of those times and many more, we should take a moment to commune (talk, whatever word you want to use) with God. It may be that those moments are more for us than for God, but I like to think that God listens and cares. I admit that I get awfully frustrated when I feel God is not listening because my petitions are not immediately answered in the way that I have requested. I know God's answer may be "no," but that is difficult to swallow.read more
Can we actually believe that because Eve persuaded Adam to eat a forbidden apple the entire human race is doomed to hell? Can we truly believe that for several thousand years there was no chance for any human to be saved, even though none of them had anything to do with Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden? Isn't it ludicrous that a child born today is doomed because Adam and Eve disobeyed God? That creation/damnation scheme sounds more like devil-worship than God-worship.read more
The idea of a second coming of Christ is a mystery, if not explicitly controversial. Jesus' followers apparently believed he would return during their lifetime after he was crucified. When that didn't happen, later followers gradually changed the belief into an indefinite "someday." After two thousand years of waiting, most Christians no longer look for it to happen in their lifetimes and acknowledge that Jesus may have been speaking metaphorically about his return. It is just as likely that those words were put into Jesus' mouth by the gospel writers themselves. Wishful thinking?read more
When it comes to the existence of the devil, people normally have one of two reactions: they dismiss the devil and scoff at the idea that there is such an entity, or they exalt the devil, and attribute far more to him (or it) than is deserved. In a recent Gallup poll, 70% of Americans believe in the devil. Half of those surveyed believe that he (this evil force is most often referred to in masculine terms) is a personal force, while the other half believes he is an impersonal force.
Let us see what the Bible says about Satan, the devil and the evil one.
The central focus for Christian liturgy is the ritual Eucharist. Traditionally Eucharist (which means "thanksgiving") has reenacted the last meal Jesus ate with his followers before the blood sacrifice of his execution at the hands of the Romans, but with the dogmatic interpretation that Jesus died to save sinners from hell in the next life. Twenty-first century progressive Christians are concerned more with living a life of justice-compassion here and now (as Jesus taught) than reconciling with a god that demands blood sacrifice in exchange for a carefree afterlife. What is required is to act with justice-compassion in radical abandonment of self-interest. Suppose that instead of terrorizing ourselves with the Advent of violent judgment, we were to celebrate the Advent of the Christ consciousness; instead of a Eucharist mourning the personal holocaust of Jesus's death, a Eucharist of Ordination, in which we recommit ourselves to the great work of distributive justice-compassion? We have the power, at any moment, to transform the way we live our lives. We can choose not to participate in the retributive system of imperial war and systemic injustice. We can step into the kind of ongoing parallel universe of God's justice-compassion at any moment. We can change our consciousness, change the paradigm in which we live, whenever we have the will to do so. Jesus is not coming again. We are; and when the rare opportunity presents itself, we can break the alabaster jar in remembrance of her.read more

Great price for quality home audio library UPnP streamer. Purchased mainly for Last.fm and it is now unavailable after site Radio shutdown Apr 2014. System can see the site and see personal folders, but cannot access them. NAD confirmed this after much effort to make the connection. Other functionality is fine, but even lower pricing seems now appropriate. Pros: Quality unit with good DAC and wireless. Convenient way to stream music library to primary audio system. Cons: (repeat) NO Last.fm due to site termination of radio functionality. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I LISTEN TO MUSIC 4-6 HOURS A DAY AND THIS TUNER ROCKS. THIS MY FOURTH NAD PURCHASE AND THE QUALITY IS THERE. Pros: CRUTCHFIELD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT IS AWESOME. THANKS WES FOR ALL YOUR HELP. Cons: NONE 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Get this if you're music lover! Written By M.Diop, New york City, NY on Monday, August 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my third NAD gear. This thing is as advertised. This piece is so great that anybody who owns a home audio system will want to have as part of their system. Also bought this as an open box but couldn't tell the difference bc it was looking brand new to me. Honestly, Crutchfield has to have the best service in the country. Been shopping there for a few years now and nothing but great service. All the music lovers, pleeeease give this unit a try lol. I love my NAD C-446 more and more everyday. Pros: Great, great, great sound, versatility and well built. Very high quality. Reminds me a bit of the Oppo 95, even though they're two different items. Cons: None so far. 22 out of 25 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked It says that it works with "most" Apple iPods" and that to use with Apple just download some software. Does that really work? Is it funky? Any problems? [ shannon Mar 30, 2014 ] 1 answer I don't use an iPod. All I can tell you is that it sees my home wireless network. I can get internet radio stations from all over the world. I can access any of the other computers/PC on my home network and stream music from them. I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 tablet with Splashtop as a "remote control" for the laptop PC which is used as a digital media server with J River. Likewise I could also use the C446 to access the laptop, the only downside being that the sample rate would be limited to 96Khz. Using the laptop HDMI connected to the NAD C390DD I can use the highest resolution of 192/24 without the digital jitter present in asynchronous USB (which is also limited to 96/24). The only issue I had was initially getting it to communicate with my wireless network because AT&T had the wrong network code on their router, AT&T's fault, not NAD. BTW, the C390DD is a fantastic amplifier. I've had some pretty expensive high-end solid state and tube amps in my system and nothing comes close until you hit the $25K to $60K+ range. I've download software updates for the C390 and had no problems. Installed by itself. NAD technical support can be a little slow because you have to use their "Salon" forum - takes a day or so but Crutchfield has been superb with support and returns.

Climate, weather and farming: What is history telling us?
Whether you are growing a garden, corn or fruit trees, growing season length is an important factor in the success of your operation. In our region, the growing season has been getting longer. Much of the change has been due to earlier springs. As a result, green-up of overwintering crops in the Midwest is occurring 10 days earlier than just a few decades ago[ja1] . While the increase in growing season has benefits, there is also a downside. When it gets warm early, perennial plants break dormancy early and are then more vulnerable to freeze.
Rain is necessary for crop growth, but is not easily stored. The frequency and intensity of storms has increased since the beginning of the 20th century. On average, about 30 percent of the annual precipitation total across the region comes from just 10 daily events, and the number of these events has increased in recent decades. For Michigan, we see a range of 24 to 36 percent of our annual rain in just 10 daily events.
This is a summary of what historic data tell us about trends over time for the Midwest and, more specifically, Michigan. More details can be found in the full report.
Watching the weather is still an important part of day-to-day management decisions. However, studying historical trends may provide some insight into longer-term planning.

Climate used to have a funny darned habit of cycling over vast spans of geologic time. It never stayed hot or cold, just slowly back and forth causing biomes and glaciers to advance and recede. Well, now we are told all of that has changed for the first (and final) time. See, new age yuppies know climate is no longer an uncontrolled variable. No! Yuppie humans now control climate. They say farmers and factory owners have ended climate's cyclic pattern so now yuppies can permanently cool climate by destroying all agriculture and choking back most industry. Turns out the same tactics will also make the oceans recede, thereby gaining lot's more really nice beachfront properties. As yuppies get climate and sea levels stabilized under perfect control we can expect weather to be tamed right down, too. No more unpredictable weather! Every day will be sunny and a perfect 78 degrees F. We won't need rain because remember we are going to get rid of farming to fix climate. Yuppies have it all figured out.
Jasper...dude chill and leave the poor Yuppies alone! What did they ever do to you? Besides I don't think the leading proponent on climate change, Al Gore, would like if those darn new age Yuppies got credit for something he's been talking for almost 40 years now. It's kind of important to understand what the point of a discussion is in the first place. In this case, it's about how climate change can effect the lives of farmers in the Midwest. The weather is the 'thing' with farmers and these kinds of discussions are necessary to better understand the here and now. Farmers are always concerned about tomorrow's weather as their living depends upon it...more so than most folks. And we aren't just talking about a few people and unimportant industries. Now it looks like you don't believe in climate change with statements like... "Climate used to have a funny darned habit of cycling over vast spans of geologic time. It never stayed hot or cold, just slowly back and forth causing biomes and glaciers to advance and recede". So be it. However, you're talking about something that has taken place over millions of years. Which has nothing to do with the time frames that are important to the farming industry. But a 3-year projection in how weather is trending could prove to be useful information for a farmer on a number of levels. The tone of your commentary comes across as rather dismissive and it sound a little old fartish with something against new age Yuppies. I know you can do better than that...why don't you start by reading the report. Then have at it!
Ice core drillings in the polar ice caps show that there has been times in the past thousands of years that the temp has changed radically in just a hundred years or less.
Well, lightbulb Gore thinks of himself as a brilliant yuppie, does he not. I thought the comment you reflected on was properly comical.
Well Michael, I guess at the end of the day it really doesn't matter whether you want to call Big Al a yuppie or not. By the way...he's not a yuppie but I digress. Mr. Gore, and I think he'd probably agree, is not brilliant but he is qualified. As a politician and as a private citizen he has made the issue of global warming one of his life missions. He first started doing so in the mid-seventies and that's pretty darn close to forty years now. No other person can say that. So by those standards he qualifies as an expert. So...lightbulb Gore...nah don't go there that sounds a little too bipartisan. Just read the report and forget about Al...he'd want you to do at least that much!
My sister-in-law has spent at least the last 40 years holding forth on astrology. I suppose, Dennis, that certifies her, rather like your man Al Gore, as "qualified". But, qualified for what I do not know. Dennis, are you suggesting our "longer-term planning" (whatever that is) here on the farm should rotate through a few longer and longer growing season corn & beans in the next couple of years, or do you think we should go straight to rain barrels and permaculture? Are you, by any chance Dennis, a yuppie?
Aaron...actually, no I'm not a yuppie. I'm way too old to be considered one and so is Big Al. The Y in yuppie stand for young...you can look up what the rest of it stands for. Name calling...really? My "so-called man Al" isn't my man. His politics and his work on global warming are two completely different things. I regret to say now that at the height of Mr. Gore's political career I was a Republican. I think you have me over the 'rain barrel' sort of speak. I know very little about all decisions you have to make and why. But what I do know is climate change is real. Now, how a farmer decides to use or not use scientifically proven information that's another story. Clearly your politics are defining your anti-position on the issue of climate change. Therefore there is no chance that someone like yourself is ever going to entertain a position different than the party line. So lets talk about whether Big Al qualified or not? By the sounds of it you may have been a farmer for as long as he's been talking about climate change. Which means you've spent a few hours on the ole tractor. And over the years tractors have evolved. Now, I'm sure you didn't invent the tractor or any part of it. And I'm sure you had nothing to do with developing the GPS in tractors today. But would you not be able to tell somebody with no farming experience how GPS works in a tractor and what the benefits are. And given the years you've spent on the tractor, working on the tractor, buying and selling tractors, talking about tractors, looking at tractors, thinking about tractors, reading about tractors...would you not consider yourself qualified to speak about tractors? Same thing with Big Al and global warming.
A tractor is a tool...and so is Al Gore. We will cope with shifting climate trends just as we always have. Weather too. Don't need any scary novice advice from Al Gore's army of alarmists when it comes to regular old farming. We can be trusted to figure it out Dennis. So don't call us...we will check with you guys next time we're scheduled to change light bulbs, OK?
So Vance...by your comments "check with you guys" and "A tractor is a tool...and so is Al Gore" and the light bulb thing you're clearly not real happy these days....why is that? That's a lot of insulting in a very short few sentences but that's not uncommon with people that are afraid of the internet bogeyman like yourself and Aaron ?, Gerry ?, Michael ?, Jasper ? living somewhere anonymously in the United States. And that's not an insult that's merely calling the kettle black. It's unfortunate that every issue must be defined politically first and then we have at it. There are far too many unforeseen situations that occur in modern living that should never be allowed to be defined politically. The recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School is a case in point. One could easily say that because of your right wing politics that you support the NRA. And the NRA supports the right for people to own assault weapons designed specially to kill children, men and women. Therefore, the Republican party and it's supports, you, are in part, responsible for this massacre. Or what about the 12 dead and FIFTY EIGHT wounded in Colorado. Pretty twisted logic...don't you think? FYI...I'm NOT saying that! You talk about trust...I trust that you have no choice but to figure it. Whether you figure it out and get it right or whether you figure it out and get it wrong that's your business. By the way...Al Gore's dad was a politician and a FARMER. Al Gore's dad did NOT have CROP INSURANCE. Al Gore's dad did NOT have crop insurance subsidized by the GOVERNMENT. Can I assume the same for you? I wonder what your take would be on global warming if you didn't have crop insurance? How would you figure it out then???
Why is it that there is either thinly veiled, on up to blatant disrespect for farmers by apparent 'climate change' proponents on this, a site by, for and of farmers??? Could it be because SOME farmers do not have 'PhD' behind their names? Senator? Activist? Climate change has been going on for eons. Modern farming, factory production, mining, by comparison to eons, maybe 15 minutes of time. Didn't Al Gore, for all his altruism and dedication to stopping 'climate change' by evil entrepreneurs get quite wealthy off his support for what some practice as worship of "Mother Earth"? FORECASTING weather accurately over even quite short spans of time such as a growing season of three to six months such as is experienced in much of the farm belt of the USA would be extremely beneficial to farmers, ranchers, and most especially to anyone who eats in this nation and around much of the world benefitting from our production. Wonder when we will be blessed with that advance in science?
What I want to know here in Minnesota is quite simple, really. Should I set out lemon groves or naval oranges this spring? Climate change preachers will guarantee and insure my pineapples in 2013, of course, won't they? What a great time to be a farmer! I will love growing new and adventurous crops where it was much too risky until now. This whole climate change thing is shaping up to be a wonderfully exciting opportunity for those of us who have been tenuously scratching away at stoney soils in the northern climes for so long. Heh, even the term "clime" will be obsolete, eh? Oh, great day in the morning!! We should all be worshipful of Al Gore for inventing climate. Now that turns out to be something useful, not like that silly internet thing he invented.

The Union Oil Center was completed in 1958 and became the highest building in downtown Los Angeles (mostly thanks to the convenient hill it is situated upon).
This neighborhood became known for the 19th century oil boom. However, come the '90s, the building was up for demolition. Saved by Hollywood, this building became the Los Angeles Center Studios complete with a "vertical backlot." What other SoCal oil buildings have transformed in time? The Huntington has one.
We're teaming up The Huntington's tumblr to bring you historic Los Angeles images on Wednesdays through August 6 as part of No Further West.
