Throughout the course of time, the city of Narva has seen the mightiest empires fighting to get hold over her, because of the strategic position in trademark..At various times the hosts of Narva were Danish, the Knights of the Germanic Order, Sweden, and Russia. The result of this mix of cultures, peoples and historic battles is:
The two great strongholds: The castle of the Order on the Estonian side and the castle of Invorgorod on the Russian side (the only place in the world where two hostile fortresses are facing each other at such close quarters - only 150 meters ) and the Bastions around the city marking the different cultures that lived in Narva.
Unfortunatly with the World War II, the rich architecture of the old city of Narva was almost completely destroyed,and the new Narva isn't standing still... we can see many abandoned buildings and many restorations being done. One interesting and curious fact is that 95% of the Narva citizens only speak Russian.

U.S. And China Aim To Phase Down Use Of Potent Greenhouse Gases Known As HFCs
The United States and China announced on Saturday that they will work together and with other countries to "phase down" the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are extremely potent greenhouse gases. A global phaseout would be the equivalent of cutting 90 gigatons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping just finished a two-day meeting in California initially thought to be more of an unscripted chance for the two leaders to forge a personal relationship than a meeting with any specific policy agenda. This is Xi's first meeting with Obama as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, which is the analogue to the Chinese presidency. Recently China has made news on plans to cut carbon emissions but then appeared to partially walk some of that news back. The fact that powerful greenhouse gases were on the agenda during their talks is a welcome sign. And if the so-called "Group of Two" regularly acts to reduce the use of substances that cause climate change, it makes it much more likely that the rest of the world will agree to do the same.
Congressional Democrats urged the President to bring up HFCs during the meeting in a letter on Wednesday. According to the White House, the specific agreement between China and the U.S. reads:
Regarding HFCs, the United States and China agreed to work together and with other countries through multilateral approaches that include using the expertise and institutions of the Montreal Protocol to phase down the production and consumption of HFCs, while continuing to include HFCs within the scope of UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol provisions for accounting and reporting of emissions.
HFCs are used in air conditioning, refrigeration, and if released, stay in the atmosphere for 15 years. Their use has skyrocketed as a replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the ozone-destroying compounds whose production was banned in 1990 through a global agreement known as the Montreal Protocol. This agreement was signed in 1987 and required reductions in CFC use but an amendment in 1990 required a complete phaseout. Every country in the world is a party to this agreement. At the time, experts saw HCFs (and HCFCs, which were eventually regulated under the Montreal Protocol) as "one of the best substitutes for reducing stratospheric ozone loss." In the 1990s, all new vehicle air conditioning systems began to use HFCs.
Yet HFCs are powerful greenhouse gases. While carbon dioxide is the most famous human emission that causes climate change, other so-called "super pollutants" are responsible for nearly half of global warming. HFCs are one of these super pollutants. Automobile manufacturers are aware that the air conditioning systems they sell contain substances that do this, and they encourage consumers to recycle their vehicles so that chemicals like HFCs can be reclaimed.
Yet leaks happen, and HFC use has skyrocketed with no end in sight, particularly in developing countries. Environmental groups began flagging the potentially catastrophic warming effects of HFCs in the last decade, and offered cheaper, natural, efficient alternatives to using HFCs as refrigerants.
California's Air Resources Board has already taken action to limit the leakage of HFCs in mobile air conditioning through the state's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The U.S., Canada, and Mexico have offered an amendment to the Montreal Protocol for the past four years that would "gradually reduce consumption and production and control byproduct emissions of HFCs in all countries." Now China is on board. A global effort to phase down the use of the harmful chemical could possibly cut the equivalent of 90 gigatons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. This amount is nearly equal to two years' worth of current global greenhouse gas emissions.
John Podesta, chair of the Center for American Progress, and former White House Chief of staff, released the following statement today:
"The American-Chinese agreement to phase down HFCs is great news for the planet. Phasing down HFCs under the protocol will reduce climate change pollution equivalent to 100 billion tons of C02 emissions by 2050. This measure will avoid .5 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century. The global goal is to limit temperature increase caused by climate change to 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels, and we've already warmed the planet 1 degree Celsius. Phasing out HFCs is hugely important given the disastrous increase in extreme weather and public health threats we are already experiencing.
"To date, China has been a key hold out to getting a deal on phasing down HFCs under the Montreal Protocol which the U.S. has been pushing for the last four years. President Barack Obama deserves great credit for his leadership and I applaud President Xi's decision to commit Chinese leadership to help solve the climate crisis. This HFC agreement is a critical step to fulfill President Obama's promise to respond to the threat of climate change, as he said in his inaugural address."

This infographic puts things into perspective:
(grey column on the right)
And replace them with what? HFCs replaced CFCs, and weren't quite as useful, but were close. So what do they plan to use to replace HFCs? I recall ammonia was used as an early refrigerant, but it's poisonous and flammable. Is there some other class of chemical I don't know about?
Look at EPA news, they have found out how to make some chemical that is recommended. Back in 2010, I think.
UNEP shows HFCs contributed about 1100 million tonnes CO2 equivalent in 2010, which is similar to the 2% figure on the chart you supplied.
That was supposed to be a reply to Will Fox.
A good start but when are we going to get an agreement on ALL GHGs? ME
A good start but when are we going to get an agreement on ALL GHGs? ME
Thanks Will, excellent graphic. Puts things into perspective…HFC's are 2% of greenhouse gas emissions.
But with a replacement waiting, I'll take any little victory we can get…
"President Barack Obama deserves great credit for his leadership and I applaud President Xi's decision to commit Chinese leadership to help solve the climate crisis."
Wow, listening to Podesta you'd think President Obama just solved the climate crisis.
Somebody better tell these guys that HFC's are just 2% of GHG emissions and be sure to tell Obama that the science is in on CO2 emissions (based on his statement the other day he doesn't know this). That said, I'll take any little victory.
I have a Greenfreeze freezer which has worked well for many years:
Be good to see more vigorous efforts on SF6 – according to EPA:
The electric power industry uses roughly 80% of all SF6 produced worldwide. Ideally, none of this gas would be emitted into the atmosphere. In reality significant leaks occur from aging equipment, and gas losses occur during equipment maintenance and servicing. With a global warming potential 23,900 times greater than CO2 and an atmospheric life of 3,200, one pound of SF6 has the same global warming impact of 11 tons of CO2. In 2002, U.S. SF6 emissions from the electric power industry were estimated to be 14.9 Tg CO2 Eq.
Remember Anderson's temporal analysis: what we do in the next few decades will determine whether or not we survive. This agreement reduces what is now about 2% of GHG at a rate of about 2.5%/year; better than nothing, but will not affect the big picture.
At the same time that Australia terminates its coal exports, and leaves its newly-found fossil reserves in the ground, untouched. Get the picture!
Yes I know, and most criminals fight when they know they are about to be caught or are caught. The criminal justice system provides nice psychological alignment studies. Knowing that the weather will take advantage of forcings should help the criminal justice system to understand that weather may happen at any location on the surface of our world and how unprepared they are for weather fights. Cause how could one fight the weather? It's a before and after kind of deal. So 3,200 years, the deal is that the sf6 cools metal so very quickly that the metal can be reworked immediately. Once it is wasted into the air then the other starts, you know, Eearth warming so that one may work metals more easily without any additional forcing, cause it gets so hot out there.
To answer my own question, there were two sentences about the discussion on HFCs on page three of my Sunday paper, in an item titled about Obama criticizing China for the recent hacking of US commercial and military secrets.
For once looking ahead, that is good. However, this is the easy fruit to pick, now how about getting serious about the real problems from fossil fuel burning.
Picking a the edges will not mitigate our problems. If we can only agree on the easy stuff, it is game over.
And, that 2% will be phased out over forty years, so it's an average of 1% for the next forty years. Given we need on the order of many tens of percent NOW if we want to have any chance of avoiding catastrophe, the agreement is essentially meaningless. And, in case no one noticed, it uses the painless approach of substituting one chemical for another; no sacrifices required!
"If we can only agree on the easy stuff, it is game over." Given the technical, economic, and sociopolitical evidence, in any other sphere of endeavor, that conclusion would have been long obvious. However, in climate change, the truth seems to be the first casualty.
Yes, this is a great critical step but the true critical step is the outright determination to act on accelerating climate change at wartime speed on the largest possible scale which would include this.
Humanity will soar when this totally positive disruptive moment is achieved.
The fossil fuel industry divests from fossil fuels.
Huge trillion dollar financial instruments secured by the future of humanity.
Poor people first eradicates poverty.
"accelerating climate change at wartime speed". If this is a 'war', we need a funding/resource base, a strategic plan, an infrastructure, a functioning logistics chain, a unified populace, and motivated troops. Where are they, and how long will it take to emplace each of these critical elements? if we fought WWII with this level of preparation, we'd be speaking German and Japanese now.

Superman1, there is sufficient info to answer your own questions.
So, from your perspective, this is somewhat analogous to the USA and North Koreans agreeing on the shape of the table sixty years ago, signaling that they're both ready to get down to serious business?
Lets put things in perspective. If we just solved 2% of the issue, we've had a good week. If we solved another 2% each week for a year, we've had a good year. If HFCs were going to expand like that graph showed, and we've headed that off -we've had a good month or two.
In a week when it was revealed that the USA is spying on, ie hacking, the entire planet, but that's OK, because it is only the rest of humanity being hacked, not the Holy Homeland.
The only possible way to save humanity from self-destruction through multiform ecological collapse, economic implosion and resource depletion is through total global co-operation. Unfortunately, the West, led by the USA, is preferring to keep up its centuries long war of domination against the rest of humanity, interfering in, sanctioning, subverting and attacking every country that dares to have a political, social or economic system not to the liking of the Empire. In such a situation, the required co-operation will not occur, and the path to a global war, exacerbated by global Collapse, lies before us.
Conservative heads are exploding….but they don't understand why…

I have just listened to Hugh White put this and other minor agreements into their economic and geo-political contexts. His view is that America and BHO seem lost at sea with the challenge that China's long term vision presents and that there was actually very little 'meeting of minds', ME
"you do not understand what is being proposed at a very high general level". What is being 'proposed' are random disjointed statements that have no linkages to the real world. Pure nonsense!
"Lets put things in perspective." Remember Anderson's analysis; the time when these measures are implemented is of extreme importance. The average over the next forty years is 1%, not 2% (start from zero and work up to two), and we really need those reductions now. And, we don't know the properties of the replacement fluid.
This graphic is from WMO 2011 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion:2010
It shows the dramatic effect of getting rid of the gases covered by the Montreal Protocol as well as the projected problem with HFCs, in units of gigatonnes CO2e, compared to CO2 I believe.
Doing anything about HFCs is not insignificant.
There is so much bad news, that all of us sometimes become almost desperate to find some glimmer of good news to keep us going. But, there are so many malevolent forces out there from the Koch Brothers and their tobacco hardened PR flacks on down, it is even more important to know what is really happening. This news item is a great example that points out why it is important to know the underlying facts to interpret its true meaning if we are to have any chance to prevail.
China has been one of the largest and worst scammers of cap and trade under the UN's CDM program (Clean Development Mechanism), in which undeveloped countries – yes like China!!! – undertake local measures to reduce estimated greenhouse gas emissions and get paid for their efforts.
China thereupon deliberately with malice and aforethought set out to ramp up production to produce more HFCs, which have 1500 times the warming impact of CO2 and hence distort the trade mechanism beyond recognition when abused, and then get paid to stop producing it — who the hell do they think they are, Wall Street Bankers like Goldman Sachs. (As a sidenote, India is getting tens of millions of dollars of CDM credits for building coal plants!)
China has been jockeying with the World Bank for years to keep this scam going because there is a lot of push back in view of its utter outrageousness that was so bad even the proverbial diplomatic corps who loathe ruffling feathers were forced to roust themselves and put the matter under review. So wouldn't you know what happened next. The terms described in the detailed articles on this Summit mentioned that in return for considering, thinking and considering some more whether to phase out HFC's by 2030 – 17 years from now – they will be allowed to pursue their scam of deliberately making more of it in order to be paid to stop for those 17 additional years without any more push backs, at which point, in view of how utterly stupid we are, they could very well turn around and tell us that they're still not ready and want to string this who scam out for another 20 years, that is if their once tillable land hasn't burned up leaving a hulking nation of 2 billion starving people by then.
Earlier, some drew similar hope from China's National Development and Reform Commission professed consideration of an accelerated timetable until their greenhouse gases emission will peak to 2025. Instead I saw far more substantively about what China is actually doing, not planners' ruminations, in a very small little clip on the very back page of the Wall Street Journal that mentioned the country is anticipating a huge surge in SUV sales because – and of course none of us in the US will have any idea how this came about – there is this "oddity" in China's mileage standards that excludes SUVs – gosh golly gee I wonder how that "oddity" happened?
If we're going to win, we have to know and raise all bloody hell when we've been skunked and not slink away from that essential responsibility for fear it will discourage our troops from the absence of good news. Yes, the truth may be discouraging. But, to play that game of deluding ourselves as a opiate to keep going makes us an active accomplice in making things far worse.
Our only real hope is through grassroots actions of active non-violent non-cooperation with the permitting and movement of the fossil fuels through our economy that are leading to the demise of a livable world capable of sustaining a civilization for our children's and their children. The sooner we all come to grips with the reality that our established institutions are incapable of helping, the sooner we can learn where are energies need to flow.
Why do we hear so little about tar sand oil and only about the pipeline? This goop is probably the worst carbon crap emitter of all fossil fuels. There hasn't been a refinery built in two or more generations and is why they are ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN. If The Koch Brothers are so intent on recovering this stuff, And it has a need to be refined, Just build a GD refinery where the tar sand is!
Lester Brown's very accessible high school level "Plan B 4.0" outlines three ways social change is achieved and also discusses the positively disruptive savings of net zero transport; and, action on climate change at wartime speed.
It's been around for a while. His update is "World on Edge".
Most of our Rightwingers seem to possess craniums that are imploding, not exploding. Something to do with vacuums, I believe, which is also why 'Nature abhors' them, and has taken physiognomic revenge.
Hugh White has definitely gone 'off reservation' lately, which is why the Rightwing homunculi love smearing him. The Americans play Monopoly, the Russians chess and the Chinese wei-chí.

With the exception of the Baby, the 0 is our smallest guitar and is offered with the same shorter scale found on the 12-fret 00. Although measuring only 13.5 inches in width (smaller than a typical classical guitar), the Collings 0 has tone and volume that belies its first impression as being less than full-sized. It can double as a travel guitar or a small OM, performing both roles equally well. The same neck and woods options offered with larger Collings models are available on the 0 as well, giving players an almost infinite range of tonal possibilities.

Sorry this did not work for me. I reheated shrimp and fries, and they got hard. The directions say to reheat for 5 minutes, I only reheated for less than 2 minutes. Not a good buy for me.

Would someone please tell me how to preheat this pan. The instructions did not include that and my food does not come out crispy, only soggy. The instructions do say to preheat this pan before use and to not put it into the micro wave without any food. How should I preheat this pan and will that make the food come out crispy??
Great Product
By Nancie
from Hancock County, West VIrginia
I purchased this to use in the microwave so that I would not have to heat up the house using the oven in summer time. I am very happy with this pan.Every thing that I have made in it has come out just the way I like it. I purchase season fries,french fries,breaded chicken snacks, chicken fries from Swanns which come frozen. This pan is perfect for making those. I usually arrange the chicken around the outside in the pan and put the fries in the middle. How long it takes depends on the level of crispness that you want for what you are making. I like medium crispness so average is about 3-4 minutes depending on product I am fixing. I have never tried it yet for french fries made from raw potatoes so no idea how those come out. Every thing that I have made has been from the frozen state. Make sure you take precautions cause this pan does heat up fast and gets very hot. Always use mitt or pot holder when removing from microwave. And take precautions when checking food while cooking.

Are there any firewalls for Linux that will allow one to block certain ports for a specific application while allowing other programs to use the same port, or block Internet access altogether for specific applications?
Everything based on IPTables apparently can only block ports globally for all applications.
SELinux is the only thing I've found so far that might have application-level Internet blocking capability, but it serves a broader array of security purposes and seems too complex for this task.
I don't need interactive popups like with Windows personal firewalls. I'm OK with having to edit a config file. This is for personal desktop Linux use, not a server.

Luxury vs. Bargain: A Side-by-Side Look
As far back as 1904, the year New York City's first white-walled underground transit stations were christened, "subway tile" was being hawked in catalogs. The easy-to-clean, tightly grouted 3x6s became a hit in American bathrooms and kitchens, and they remain popular today. Study the two shown here to see how small variations can shift the look from handcrafted to sleek.

Running Time: 66
Director: Matt Sterling
Company: Huge Video
Distribution Companies: Falcon Studios
Cast: Colby Tavers, Petre Andraas, Daniel Istvan, Serge Timar, Danno Alecs, Danno Barboli, Miklos Serac, Gorgy Trebec, Eric Andraas, Horst Patre, Ian Josef, Marc Fredrics
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
A must-stock item. Be sure to put an extra copy in your Matt Sterling section, as well as the Falcon one.
Legendary director Matt Sterling's latest title is distributed by Falcon under their International banner. Sterling fans will find plenty to like about this one. It has hot young men engaged in sometimes sizzling action. The first scene is simply incredible, as two guys (Horst Patre and Eric Andraas) go all the way on a moving bus. The sex is captured from a hot variety of angles, including from the outside of the moving vehicle. The middle two scenes are less remarkable, but quite good. Look for Colby Tavers in the second one, where his horny enthusiasm breathes life into an otherwise staid threeway. Fasten your seat belts for the final scene, where bus driver Serge Timar gets the ride of his life from hung young mechanic Danno Alecs. The fuck-and-suck footage simply sizzles. To add spice, repairmen Daniel Istvan and Danno Barboli swap blowjobs and facials on the sidelines.

Critic Reviews

Has the bad luck to come on the heels of Kathryn Bigelow's beautifully made and politically impassioned "K-19," making this submarine picture -- a relatively modest, low-budget affair -- seem skimpy by comparison.
Though the genre collisions (horror/WWII submarine/undersea Macbeth) are as jarring as the sound design, the cumulative effect is one of claustrophobic creepiness.
Twohy and co-screenwriters Darren Aronofsky and Lucas Sussman don't show their hand until late in the film, but by that time, Below has grown slack and silly.
Situations don't come much more claustrophobic, and if the payoff doesn't quite live up to the build-up, the film is still an enjoyable exercise in claustrophobic suspense.
The dialogue, heavy on sarcasm and puncturing insults, never captures the World War II period but sounds ridiculously anachronistic.
The story offers an interesting twist, but the only really spooky part is when a Benny Goodman record insists on playing without human aid. More scares, please.
A substandard attempt to outfit a World War II submarine with every haunted-house cliché known to man and filmmakers.

Night Shyamalan's The Village halfway through Below I had a horrible feeling of dread. There were many ways the plot could still go and nothing but atmosphere and build-up had taken place. Yet I became convinced that a lame obvious payoff was in my future. I was right.
Below tells such a simple straightforward story that the histrionics throughout the film seem even more overblown in retrospect than during the viewing. The movie succeeds on some levels, it has a nice Pitch Black homage, very good special effects and set design and it does create a spooky atmosphere with sounds all around you and slamming door and flickering lights. (Director Twohy throws so many fright clichés at you I'm surprised the submarine doesn't have a cat.)
The downsides, besides the disastrous ending, are more plentiful. Bruce Greenwood, playing the acting skipper, comes across as more of a fishing charter captain than a sub commander in wartime. And Olivia Williams, as the rescued nurse, plays cold so well that I was rooting for the only piece of eye-candy in the whole film to die, disappear or at the very least shut up.
All of this is a bit of a shame because take away the ghost story (and the endless bump in the night cheap scares that accompany it) you have yourself a pretty serviceable psychological thriller. On top of that the action scenes with the Germans attacking the sub are certainly tenser than any of the haunting stuff.
Director Twohy would have been wise to dump the end and gone with a straightforward crippled World War 2 sub story.… Full Review »

'Below' is, from beginning to end, a fully convincing and gripping movie, with great acting, intelligent scripting, masterfully done camera work, and a truly chilling and claustrophobic atmosphere. To be fair, it does also suffer from the problems usually associated with ghost stories; namely, little actual payoff to accompany the buildup and suspense, and supernatural explanations that can seem a little...well...trite and hokey. Still, 'Below' is a gripping, unsettling, and ultimately immensely enjoyable experience, and one that doesn't require you to check your brain at the door.

We'll show you how to beat the heat by staying cool and hydrated this summer.
Spring is here but so are the sneezes and sniffles that usually accompany it, making more than 50 million people in the U.S. miserable, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Colder weather is setting in and with the change of seasons you might also notice more people coughing, sneezing and calling in sick. It's a harsh reality that these chilly months are strongly associated with the cold and flu.
From lazy days at the beach to weekend hikes, there's a lot to love about summer, but spending more time in the great outdoors means you could be running into some potential health issues.
Extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the US. Heat-related deaths are often a result of heat stroke and related conditions, but also occur under other health conditions.
Over the past few decades, unusually hot summer days have become more common in the United States.
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, these foods and drinks may be making them worse.
Public health officials say the United States is experiencing a resurgence of measles because some parents are opting out of the recommended vaccines for their kids.
