Casablanca Packing List Tips by Krystynn
Casablanca What to Pack: 4 reviews and 2 photos

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Play it real safe here in Morocco. Keep your clothes looser and longer especially when you're out shopping in the souks or even, walking along the streets etc.
Over here in cosmopolitan Casablanca, the folks are more westernized and hence, you won't be sticking out that much like a sore thumb. Phew!
It is not uncommon to see Moroccan women dress in colorful kaftans (is that what you call those long flowing outfits?) and covering up three-quarters of their faces along the streets and in the souks. So, this is a signal for you to also dress conservatively. Leave those shorts at home... Or you can use them when you're trudging on the sands of the Sahara Desert O.K.?
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: For many women, it's usually our lotions, shampoo, conditioner, hair-sprays... etc that make our carry-on luggage hell. To look your best on the road, it's not easy... But hey, you don't have to leave your entire make-up kit at home and you don't even have to bring your whole vanity caboodle either.
Here are some tips to remember about makeup. Less is more (especially when packing) and multi-purpose items are PERFECT for travel. Choose some of these beauty essentials to stash in your make-up bag:
Moisturizer - Climate changes can leave your face dry. ALWAYS carry a moisturizer. Choose one that has an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) so that it doubles up as your sunscreen. To save space, pack moisturizer sample packets.
Foundation - Used to even skin tone and freshen up that harried face. :-) Two-way cake powder foundation is easier to carry and apply (Chanel has the BEST two-way cake foundation in the market... in my humble opinion). Choose one that gives the coverage of liquid but the finish of powder (read: CHANEL). If you still opt to carry the liquid stuff, close lids tightly to avoid spillage. Or save money and space with foundation-and-concealer-in-one sticks. Not good for women with oily skin (like mine). :-(
Pressed or loose powder - For quick touch-ups, stash a mini-compact of your favorite powder or transfer your loose powder into a smaller bottle. Oh, and sable brushes with short handles conserve more space.
Eye Shadow - To take your look from day to night, highlight your eyes. A smart choice is to buy a compact of eye shadow with at least 4 shades. Checking against the color palette of your packed clothes is also a good idea to know what hues to bring!
Lip Color - Choose one that suits your skin tone. For sheen and barely-there color, try lip balms and gloss pots. For long-lasting color, hey.. get a tube of lipstick that doesn't come off easily (read: Smear-proof/ Kiss-proof! Buy CHANEL!). If you, like me, can't live with just one lip color, look for those sleek credit card-sized lip color palettes - to match your moods. Dark Burgundy for those days when you want to feel like a dominiatrix... Fuchsia for the days when you feel like you can conquer the world etc... :-D Or limit yourself to two tubes of lipstick, a neutral shade for daytime and a darker one for night.
Towelettes - These handy wipes are convenient for freshening up when there's no place to wash your face. And it came in soooo handy when I was in Morocco... i.e. to wipe away the desert sand from my face and hands!
Blotting Paper - Blot mid-day oil and perspiration with these oil-busting papers. Very handy. A must in every woman's purse. I've discovered the BEST blotting paper in the market is the one produced by the Japanese cosmetic company - SHISEIDO. Very, very good!
'It is not enough for a landscape to be interesting in itself. Eventually there must be a moral and historic interest.'  - Stendhal, on travel

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 18th, 2013
Running Time: 187 Min.
Director: David Perry
Company: David Perry Productions
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Biography(ies), Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Shalina Devine, Misha Cross, Ivana Sugar, Athina, David Perry, Cayenne Klein, Rose Delight, Szilvia Lauren, Wendy Moon, Lolita Taylor
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Oral, POV
Porn director David Perry does it right. This soft-spoken French man of action is renowned for passionate sex scenes with glamorous, sensuous Euro-girls. And David's new all-oral release, "Blow Me Off," is a fresh batch of POV-style suck jobs featuring the hottest cock slurpers the Continent has to offer. These nine intense scenes feature rough deep throating and wet, nasty face-fucking for a concentrated dose of blowjob perversion, Perry style!
David Perry and his favorite Euro-cocksuckers. The POV aspect becomes clear when Misha Cross indulges in a standing flirtation and masturbation prior to the main event: jamming Perry balls-deep with her salivating deep throat ability. Her eyes lock on Perry, like guided missiles that have acquired their target, and never wander.
Another stand-out is Lolita Taylor, who is found outside, rooftop level, overlooking Budapest while adorned in a see-through knit outfit. She blows Perry there and inside until he eventually releases with a mouthful pop that takes forever to ooze out of the confines of her oral cavity.
In some of the scenes, the girl lies flat on her back with her head up and mouth open in an attempt to take the entire cock down her throat. Some succeed, some come close, and in all cases Perry is more than pleased with their determination and effort. All told, nine cuties hold true to the formula of POV oral with facial finishes. Well done.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- The closing of a charity that provided the needy with discounted groceries for 17 years is leaving many who counted on its services digging deeper into their pockets in order to eat.
Angel Food Ministries, which served people across the U.S., folded in September saying it couldn't keep up with rising food and fuel costs. At first, the Georgia-based charity said it was temporarily suspending services. But weeks later it announced it was closing for good.
The Augusta Chronicle reports that Angel Food's closure is putting a financial pinch on thousands of families who relied on the charity, which offered services through 35 churches in the area.
Some churches have organized their own food pantries to try to fill the void, while other charities are seeing increases in calls for help.

GreenExpo365.com to Offer Webinars on U.S. EPA WaterSense Program
May 9 sessions will feature multiple experts on water-efficient building practices
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that at least 36 states will face water shortages by 2013.
It is a problem not limited to the desert Southwest but stretches to the Midwest, Florida, Georgia and other regions. EPA's WaterSense program is designed to decrease indoor and outdoor nonagricultural water use through more efficient products, equipment and programs.
International Bottled Water Assn. Joins Curbside Value Partnership
IBWA and CVP team up to encourage recycling
As past of its goal to provide companies and organizations with a voluntary solution to the need to address recycling rates, the Curbside Value Partnership (CVP) recently announced an addition to its sponsor list: the International Bottled Water Assn. (IBWA).
More Bottled Water Recycling in Honor of Earth Day
The National Assn. for PET Container Resources says 1.5 billion lb of PET plastic were recycled in 2010
The International Bottled Water Assn. (IBWA) is honoring Earth Day 2012, celebrated on April 22, by announcing increases in curbside recycling of PET plastic water bottle containers and an effort to improve the environmental footprint of the bottled water industry.
A newly released study shows that PET plastic bottled water containers are once again the single most recycled item in nationwide curbside collection programs. As of 2010, the recycling rate for PET plastic bottled water containers increased to 32%, more than doubling in the last six years.
Queen's University to Ban Bottled Water This Fall
The ban aims to reduce plastic water bottle waste and address social concerns
After the Queen's University Principal's 2010 pledge to end all bottled water sales on its campus in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, the university is on track to enforce the ban in September, according to the Kingston Herald.
The aim of the ban is to create a greener campus community by reducing plastic water bottle waste as well as address social concerns regarding private corporations' control of drinking water.
Queen's is among the first Canadian universities to push for such a ban, according to Aaron Ball, the university's sustainability manager.
EPA Becomes One of 22 New Members of U.S. Water Partnership
Public-private partnership will address water issues around the world
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of 22 new members that has joined the expanded U.S. Water Partnership, announced on March 22 for World Water Day. The U.S. Water Partnership is a U.S.-based public-private partnership established to unite American expertise, knowledge and resources, and mobilize those assets to address water challenges around the globe, especially in the developing world.
EPA Proposes Revisions to WaterSense Single-Family Home Specification
Changes will allow units in multi-family homes to become certified
Continuing to build on the success of the WaterSense program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making minor modifications to its specification that establishes the criteria for new homes to earn the WaterSense label.
Cutting Commercial Costs
Commercial reverse osmosis (RO) systems encompass a wide variety of applications. Some applications, such as metal plating or boiler feed water, require pure water with low dissolved solids. Other applications, in which a higher dissolved solids content is acceptable, such as car wash or drinking water applications, need to produce as much water as possible, or just enough water at the lowest cost possible.
Each of these categories presents unique challenges to commercial OEMs to configure systems that reduce the total water cost (TWC) to their customers.
New RO elements can lower total water costs
Certified to Save
According to statistics published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), water coolers across the U.S. consume about 6 billion kWh of electricity per year.1 Some water coolers actually use more energy than a refrigerator.

Hydrofracturing & The Environment
Hydrofracturing is not a new concept—in fact, it has been utilized by the gas and oil industries in the U.S. since the 1940s. Thanks to increased media attention, however, many are led to believe that this is a new technology developed specifically for the extraction of natural gas.

This work bench is where I do my drawing, sketching, and frequently work on my altered book projects. This table is a slanted oak library table, which I found at an antique store that had obtained it from the University of Madison surplus store. The hanging system on the wall is great for getting "stuff" off of my work bench. They are the Bygel system from Ikea. The wooden box I use for storing my pens is actually a drawer from an antique sewing machine cabinet laid on it's side. Marc & I love to go to antique stores and estate sales and I find so many sources for storage at these places. The office cabinet drawers are a great example of this. The cabinet on which they rest we got from a Habitat Restore. The painting on the wall was done by my Dad when I was a kid. It's one of those oil on velvet paint by numbers paintings. I remember he was so proud when he did it. I often think of him when I create at my work bench. The dragon mobile I purchased on a trip to Spain a number of years ago near Barcelona. It always makes me smile.

PFT Live: King says Atkins is best DT in NFL
Browns experimenting with Ogbah at 3-4 defensive end
As a pass rusher, Browns rookie Emmanual Ogbah naturally would play defensive end in a 4-3 defense and linebacker in a 3-4. In Cleveland, where the 3-4 remains the base defense, Ogbah spent the offseason as a linebacker. Now that camp has arrived, the Browns have given him a try at defensive end.
"We're going to try a little bit of everything," coach Hue Jackson told reporters on Friday. "We're going to put our best players out there on defense. Obviously, we are going to try him there. We're going to put him back at outside linebacker. We're just trying to find a lot of different combinations now that Des [Bryant] is going to be down to see if we can put our best guys out there. If he gives us something there, then it's going to help our football team. We're going to try anything and everything that we can to give guys opportunities that showcase their abilities and talents."
Jackson confirmed that Ogbah played linebacker exclusively during OTAs, with the switch happening only in training camp.
"We're going to play him at defensive end some and take a good look at him," Jackson said of Ogbah. "As you guys know, this time of the year is evaluation time for all of our football team. Now, you can do some of that. Move guys around and see what's the best fit for our football team to help us win."
Jackson disputed the notion that Ogbah moved to defensive end because of perceived difficulties with dropping into coverage as a linebacker during the offseason program. Instead, Jackson pointed out that having Ogbah play multiple positions gives the defense a greater degree of flexibility on defense.
49ers add defensive lineman
The 49ers announced Friday that they've added defensive lineman D.J McBryde to their training camp roster.
McBryde, 24, signed a two-year deal with the team. McBryde broke into the NFL last season with the Eagles and spent six weeks on their active roster before catching on with the Packers practice squad last November. He signed a futures contract with the Packers in January but was waived last week.
He was a three-year contributor and one-year starter at UConn.
49ers sign Joshua Garnett
The 49ers traded back into the first round to pick guard Joshua Garnett. Finally, the Stanford product is under contract.
The team has announced the Garnett has agreed to terms. As usual, it's a four-year deal with a team-held option for the fifth year.
Garnett won the Outland Trophy in 2015, which goes to college football's top lineman.
The acquisition leaves one one unsigned first-round pick: Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa.
Todd Bowles doesn't rule out carrying four quarterbacks
Not long ago, the Jets were trying to sell the idea that Geno Smith would be the team's starting quarterback. Now, they're trying to sell the idea that Smith, the only quarterback inherited by the current regime, won't be dumped in favor of 2015 draft pick Bryce Petty and 2016 draft pick Christian Hackenberg.
Keeping Smith could mean keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Coach Todd Bowles was asked on Friday how conceivable keeping four quarterbacks would be.
"It's conceivable," Bowles told reporters. "It all depends on the strengths and weaknesses of other positions, because you have to steal from a position to keep a position and we have pretty good competition right now at about five positions, at least. It's going to come down to seeing who we're able to keep and who's able to perform and who's able to do things where we can steal one from another and who can play a dual role and have some versatility. It's early, but we'll see how it works out."
Bowles pointed out that he once played on a Washington team that carried four quarterbacks, but that it happened in the days before the salary cap.
Bowles also made it clear that counting reps won't be the best way to spot the man in danger of being cut.
"It's not just if you get the least reps, you're not going to be on the team," Bowles said. "Sometimes you only need a little bit to show a lot and that's at every position and that's how we evaluate. We're not going to evaluate somebody because they start out third team — and I'm not just talking about the quarterback spot — so you can make plays in a small amount of time to make an impact depending on what our need is for making this team."
The Jets have no reason to admit that Smith or any other quarterback is in danger of being cut. They surely hope that someone will offer to trade for one of them. That's why anything the team says about wanting to keep Smith should be taken with a grain of salt. They have to act like they want him in order to ever have any hope of training him.
Bills hope Manny Lawson doesn't have a long-term injury
With Mario Williams gone, the Bills are counting on Manny Lawson stepping in and stepping up. For now, however, the Bills don't have Lawson, because he injured himself working out on his own shortly before training camp.
While most stints on the non-football injury list will be temporary, the Bills are still waiting to learn more about Lawson's absence. On Friday, G.M. Doug Whaley was asked whether Manny Lawson's absence could be a long one.
"We'll have to assess and get information from the medical staff here pretty soon and hopefully not," Whaley told reporters. "We don't anticipate it, but again, you never know with these things."
Whaley said Manny Lawson suffered an upper body injury. If he's not available, IK Enemkpali will have even more opportunities with the Bills.
"I'm excited about IK and I've mentioned that before," coach Rex Ryan told reporters on Friday. "It may give him an opportunity to get the majority of the reps at the one."
If Manny Lawson's absence is extended, the team may look to add players at the position — especially since first-rounder Shaq Lawson could be missing much of his rookie year.
Jets' GM says Geno Smith remains in team's plans
Jets quarterback Geno Smith was essentially demoted when the team re-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier this week, and Smith hasn't hidden the fact that he's not happy about it.
Still, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan told reporters Friday that Smith remains in the team's plans.
Asked if he expected Smith to be on the opening day roster, Maccagnan said he "assumes" that answer is yes and said the team likes Smith.
The team will almost certainly end up either moving on from Smith or second-year quarterback Bryce Petty after drafting Christian Hackenberg last spring. That's a decision Maccagnan doesn't have to make now, but Smith knows he might also be auditioning for other teams.
Jets Coach Todd Bowles praised Smith in the offseason. Whether that was about trade value or whether the team still thinks Smith could end up being in its long-term plans might is unclear, and a lot could depend on what happens over the next four or five weeks with all of the team's quarterbacks.
Roethlisberger honors Heath Miller on first day of camp
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger paid tribute Friday to retired tight end Heath Miller by wearing Miller's No. 83 jersey for the start of training camp.
Friday marked the start of the Steelers' first camp without Miller since 2004. He was a first-round pick in 2005 who caught 45 career touchdown passes and went to two Pro Bowls.
Miller announced his retirement in February.
The Steelers tweeted a video of Roethlisberger taking the field in the No. 83 jersey on their official Twitter account.
Ladarius Green figures as the team's new No. 1 tight end after signing with the Steelers in March, but he's starting camp on the PUP list. His absence means extra reps for tight ends Jesse James and David Johnson.
Texans extend G.M. Rick Smith's contract through 2020
With the signing of quarterback Brock Osweiler and running back Lamar Miller, the Texans were one of the busier teams in the early days of free agency.
They aren't going to wait to see how those moves or any of the others they made this offseason work out before deciding on General Manager Rick Smith's future with the team. The Texans have extended Smith's contract, which was due to expire after this season, through the 2020 campaign.
"Rick's doing a good job for us, and I think stability in the organization is important," owner Bob McNair said, via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. "He works hard. He's very diligent. He communicates well. He knows what our objectives are. Rick has put together a good scouting staff, and he works well with the coaching staff. I thought this was a good time to get this done."
Smith is the second G.M. in the history of the franchise. He succeeded Charley Casserley in 2006 and built the first Texans teams to advance to the postseason. They took a step back in 2013 and 2014 and had a rough draft in 2013 outside of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but returned to the postseason as AFC South champs last year and McNair clearly believes Smith will continue to be successful in the years to come.
Panthers first-rounder Vernon Butler carted off practice field with cramps
In the early days of training camp, the most dreaded sight is the flatbed cart.
It made its appearance at Panthers camp today, to haul first-round pick Vernon Butler off the practice field, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said moments later that Butler was suffering from cramps, alleviating some of the concern.
Butler is a key piece for the Panthers for several reasons, even beyond his presence on the field. Having another interior presence should help them keep waves of linemen coming, and add to a pass-rush that isn't as well-stocked at defensive end.
But he's also a useful deterrent/insurance policy in the ongoing Kawann Short contract talks, allowing General Manager Dave Gettleman some cover for the future if they can't work out a deal with Short.
Raiders parting ways with Roy Helu
The Raiders put running back Roy Helu on the physically unable to perform list at the start of camp because he had surgery on both hips this offseason, but it's going to be a brief stay.
The change isn't because Helu is moving back to the active roster. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said Friday that the team has removed Helu from the 90-man roster entirely and replacing him with defensive tackle Derrick Lott.
Helu signed with the Raiders in March 2015, but he was hurt during training camp and wound up getting just 17 carries and nine receptions in nine appearances with the team. His hip problems suggested more of the same could be on tap this season and the Raiders will look elsewhere for backs to complement Latavius Murray.
They have 2016 fifth-rounder DeAndre Washington, Taiwan Jones, George Atkinson and Jalen Richard on hand to compete for that role now.
Eli, Cruz say Beckham needs to be careful with his emotions
Giants receiver Odell Beckham's 2015 season ended with a suspension for repeated personal fouls in an ongoing skirmish with Josh Norman. Beckham's veteran teammates want to see 2016 go differently.
And so, quarterback Eli Manning told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, the veterans on the Giants have talked to Beckham about keeping his emotions in check.
"Odell knows what he needs to do," Manning said. "He's got to be careful with his emotions and make sure that doesn't affect his play. You want to get in that right temperament, be at your best, play your best football and he's got to make sure he controls that, where we're getting his best and his actions don't affect the team in a negative way."
Receiver Victor Cruz added that Beckham, as a young star in the NFL, needs to consider what kind of reputation he wants to have.
"I think he understands that this past year, since last season, has been a little bit of a whirlwind, in that regard, and he understands that — he wants people to know him for him and how he's a great player, great person, and how he wants to be perceived and I think he's really taken charge of that," Cruz said.
Beckham already has the "great player" part down. He may have some work to do rehabbing his personal image, after the ugly ending to last season.
Kubiak admits the obvious: 2015 Broncos offense "did not play well at all"
After the retirement of Peyton Manning and the departure via free agency of Brock Osweiler, the Broncos official website referred to the quality of the team's quarterback play in 2015 as "sub-optimal" and "near-replacement-level."
On Friday, coach Gary Kubiak didn't use such specificity in connection with the quarterback position. But he used a broad brush to paint a not-so-flattering picture regarding the team's offensive performance in 2015.
"We're talking about a group," Kubiak told reporters. "We're not talking about a position. You go back to last year and you look at us, we finished in the middle of the pack. I think we finished 16th. Out of 12 playoff teams, I think we we're like sixth offensively, but we feel like we did not play well at all. That tells you the standard that we have, the standard that I have and [offensive coordinator Rick Dennison] has, and what we want to do. We've got to improve as a team. We can't turn the ball over as much as we did last year and we've got to play better up front. If we do those things with the players we've got, we're going to be a better offense. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about a group, not a player."
Fine, but it's hard not to throw stones at an entire offense without hitting the former leader of it in the red splotch on his forehead. Quarterbacks get the credit when offenses thrive and the blame when they sputter. The Broncos sputtered on offense last year, and the play of Peyton Manning was a big factor in that.
This year, if the Broncos can get more out of the quarterback position, they can be better on offense and, if they perform as well as they did defensively in 2015, hoist another Lombardi Trophy.
On Friday, Mark Sanchez had the first crack at leading the first-team offense. After he threw an interception to cornerback Chris Harris Jr., however, Trevor Siemian entered and, according to Mike Klis of 9news.com, remained the No. 1 quarterback for the rest of the day.
With multiple options and no clear-cut leader at the position, that's likely how it's going to go. With Kubiak wanting to protect the ball, the one that does will play. Until he doesn't, at which point someone else will play.
Richardson missing from Jets practices for personal reasons
The Jets have excused defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson from their training camp practices due to personal reasons, Jets coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday.
Bowles said he expects Richardson to be absent for a couple days.
The Jets started camp on Thursday.
Richardson, 25, had five sacks last season after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He has 16.5 sacks in three seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2014.
Richardson is suspended for the Jets' season opener vs. the Bengals for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He's still allowed to participate in camp and the preseason.
Dennis Pitta: I don't feel like I've lost a step
Tight end Dennis Pitta avoided a spot on the physically unable to perform list this week, leaving him eligible to take part in practices with the Ravens as they opened training camp.
Pitta didn't practice at all last year as his twice-broken and dislocated hip was never well enough for him to get on the field. Pitta contemplated retirement in the offseason, but restructured his contract with the team in order to give it another go.
After the first two practices, Pitta told reporters that he's not thinking about his hip unless he's being asked about it and that he feels his chemistry with quarterback Joe Flacco hasn't suffered as a result of his long layoff.
"I don't feel like I've lost a step," Pitta said, via ESPN.com. "I don't feel like I'm any slower or do anything different than I did a couple of years ago, in my opinion. That's my goal. I want to be the lead guy."
Whether he's the lead guy at tight end or part of a group with Benjamin Watson and Maxx Williams, getting Pitta back in a form close to where he was in the past would be a big win for the Ravens offense. So far, it looks like there's good reason for optimism about his chances of doing that.
RG3 says he's fine with Hue's hesitation to name starter
Robert Griffin III got the first reps with the first-team offense as the Browns opened training camp Friday, but Browns coach Hue Jackson has been adamant that the team does not yet have a starting quarterback.
As he did throughout the spring, Griffin said he's just "having fun" and whatever level of uncertainty may exist hasn't affected his thinking or his work.
"I think Coach is going to come out and see what he needs to see and make that decision," Griffin said, per the team's official camp transcript. "It's our job as players to put our best foot forward."
Jackson has said he'll name a starter before the team plays its first preseason game, and since the spring it's seemed like Griffin's job to lose. Friday marked the first of 11 practices the Browns have on their schedule before their Aug. 12 preseason opener at Green Bay.
"At the end of the day you come out here every day having to work to be the guy, to be the best," Griffin said. "Even when they name the starter you still have to come out here and work and prove it every single day. Nothing's ever going to be given to you.
"I don't worry about things that I can't control. If [Jackson] asks me to stand up in front of the team and present something, I'm going to present something. If he says, 'Don't tell me anything,' then I'm going to sit there and take notes. At the end of the day, you don't worry about what you can't control. Coach has decisions that he has to make, and your job is to make that decision easy for him."

Thieves targeting farm, gardening businesses
NORTH COUNTY Somebody has been busting into North County businesses and swiping dozens of weed trimmers, chain saws, leaf blowers and other gasoline-powered tools in a spree stretching over the past several weeks.
On Thursday, sheriff's detectives asked for the public's help to find the person or group behind the series of at least four burglaries targeting farm and garden supply businesses after hours.
Businesses hit by the burglaries, which occurred from Sept. 20 to Oct. 17, include Grangetto's Farm and Garden Supply in Encinitas and Valley Center, Powerland Equipment in Valley Center and L&M Fertilizer in Fallbrook, according to San Diego Crime Stoppers.
Detective Dave Brannan said Thursday he believes the burglaries are related, based on their similarities as well as evidence recovered at the crime scenes.
"I'm just hoping that somebody can come forward with a tip," Brannan said. "I'm hoping that somebody in the community knows of somebody who recently came into possession of a lot of chain saws and thought that might be unusual."
Detectives are also trying to ascertain where the thief or thieves might unload the mechanical booty. He said thousands of dollars of equipment have been stolen in the spree.
Authorities also said the suspects may be responsible for other crimes in the North County.
Witnesses or tipsters with information about the burglaries can call Brannan in the sheriff's Valley Center station at (760) 751-4422 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477.
Anonymous email and text messages can be sent to sdcrimestoppers.com.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to a $1,000 to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in the burglary series.

Hello, I hope someone can help me, and I thank a zillion times in advance anyone who can! I have searched support thouroghly and found some similar problems, but nothing exact.
My problem is that I have created Pages, and they appear fine in the sidebar, but when I click them, nothing happens. I have determined it is because it is not refering to the index.php page of my template... in other words, it points to
instead of
Based on some answers in these support pages, I went to Options>Permalinks, and found where you can create a virtual site structure. I typed in /index.php/ Then I created a test page, and when you click that, you get the "no input file" error. So I know it's not that simple!
My question is, does anyone know exactly what to put there to make a virtual site structure, so the Pages link properly? (and yes, the pages do appear fine if I type http://www.my_site.com/wp/index.php?page_id=26 directly into the address bar) I have put off asking support for as long as possible because I don't want to bother you guys, but I am at my wits end.
(If someone mentions .htaccess in their answer, could you please be very specific? I can't see this file, and don't know what it should contain if I need to create one.) Thanks again for any help!

Whoa... talk about a blast from the past.
How so?
Because Of how old it is and how amazingly cute it is still! And besides, the gen berry is what made me originally find your work in the first place!
the was before the remake
He is the headless dogman!
Quick, to the kibble and a covered bridge!
I hope this comic is still continuing, I am very interested in it.
So that's what happened in that one comic!
Can Zander...ehem, Zandey, hurt Mew at all?
Mew maybe a legandery but he feels pain when hit.
Isn't Mew a ghost? If not, how did it get its body back, because when Zander and Mew met the first time (in an older comic of yours), Mew was already a ghost. You remember, when its tail got stucked to Zander's chest.
you see every time Mew dies xatu brings him be with an old spell. but in Zanders new quest shes been cort. so Mew couldnt be re-vived.
Fira: Not many Pokemon think my ability is cool, Mio. I can use it on Zander but not you.
Mio: why not!?
Fira: Umm...w-well...okay fine you really want me to use it on you?
Mio: why not? It might be fun!
Fira: Well okay, in that case, I will. *removes Mio's head from her neck*
I wonder who's a more angry girl, Hayley or Zandey?
That's pretty funny. XD

The plugin works, and does what it should, but there is a big problem, when activated all the thumbnail images from my e-commerce made with woocommerce were pixelated and blurry. No worth keeping it instaled with that issue
I ended up not using this as config page didn't load properly for me and the UI was a little unintuitive. Thanks for the plugin though. Has some great potential, all the best.
Support is poor. An update included changes in hooks, which affected the capabilities. Upon contacting support, Vasyl told me it requires too much work to fix the bug in his own plugin, but yet tried to tell me to buy premium. He also referred to it as a "weird" caching problem with W3TC, when it's not. The plugin path is excluded from W3TC. This is a straightforward issue with the hook. He also wants to dismiss it because I'm the only one so far who's told him of this issue. Perhaps I'm the only one who's contacted him so far, who uses the plugin in the way I do, and is experiencing this issue. Terribly dismissive and washed his hands of it.
The tool looks very nice, it might take time to fine tune all of that but capabilities are strong.
BUT I was actually unable to keep this plugin installed : I lost Admin role ! :-/
I saw a workaround but it seems that it will not work every time... I do not understand php and this workaround is not for me.
I hope there will be a fix soon, then please let me know, I would be glad to test.
Another point that should be changed : when you create a now profile, you do not have access to admin menu options, I do not understand why - it would be useful to define minimum admin access for day to day work.
I loved this plugin.
After updating it, admin role can't be controlled anymore and can't create role or user profiles to allow access to certain plugins...
Please fix it!
I gave it 2 stars because it didn't bring my site down but it definitely is having major issues in version 3.5 of WordPress.
I use admin menu editor and user role editor together and it pretty much accomplishes the same thing that this plugin used to accomplish.

As a family with young children, this setting was the perfect place to unwind & unplug for a few days! The kids loved the animals (pygmy goats, rabbit, donkey, horse, chickens...) and a screened in barn stocked with toys, books & games. The in-ground pool was huge and very clean and the diving board was a big bonus. I really loved how calm and quiet the whole property was and how interesting it was to explore property. The bunk house kitchen was completely stocked with all the pots & pans and spices needed for cooking and a dishwasher and laundry was a luxury as well. The owners left us butter & english muffins, juice, bananas, ice cream... it was really thoughtful. They were very kind and helpful, thoughtful and easy to chat with. We felt very welcome. I would definitely return and have already suggested it to friends. The town and surrounding area had some decent playgrounds and icecream shops but was pretty quiet otherwise. There was a Shaws within a few miles. Loved it!
We have spent 10 wonderful days in the Bunk House. We had such a worm welcome by Cathryn and Paul like we never had before when we rented a house. They already filled the fridge, gave us a lot of information what to do around Newport and even picked my husband up after a veeery long hike - thanks again for that!
It was gorgeous on Freewill Farm, not too far to visit Boston and the White Mountains. Near by Lake Sunapee and Winnipesaukee and also nice places for shopping. The cottages have everything you need for a great holiday! We definitely would like to come back to visit this great place and our lovely hosts!
I had a wonderful time staying in the Elm Cottage. It was a such a great get-away from busy city life. The grounds are gorgeous, the house is perfect - everything you need, the pool was refreshing on a hot day and my dog was in heaven. I spent a lot of time on the back porch relaxing and playing guitar while the pup roamed the grounds. The hosts are wonderful, kind and helpful. And the price just can't be beat. This is a great vacation spot for a family with small kids (animals!) or for a couple just wanting to get a break (that was us). I highly recommend a stay here!
Freewill farm was a great place! My fiance and I were looking for a cozy spot to slow down during a busy summer. There was plenty to do including hiking, kayaking sunapee lake, exploring Newport, walking the farm, sitting on the back porch enjoying the landscape, or slowing down to lounge at the pool.
I booked a hot air balloon ride and used the opportunity to propose...she said yes! Paul was in on it the whole time and kept it secret. Paul and Cathryn were gracious hosts and helped us discover a variety of activities in the area.
The cottage had all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed grilling every night and having the dishwasher for clean up! Our dog enjoyed the company of the three dogs, and became part of the pack by the end of the week.
Overall we were very happy with our stay and can't wait to plan our next trip to Freewill Farm!
This is the second time we have stayed at Freewill farm and we loved it even more. If you like to hear the sound of the rooster in the morning or the ducks quacking as they waddle passed the bedroom windows a little later then you will love this place. But that was only the start for us. The swimming pool, equipment in the cottage, everything was made available to ensure we had a carefree holiday plus the magic of the New Hampshire scenery - pictures can't do it justice.
Paul and Cathryn have made us feel very much at home and we will definitely be back there next year.
We stayed in the Elm View and had a wonderful time. Everything was supplied including the washing powder for the machine. We had a great time. My husband would sit out on the deck and watch the wildlife and the chickens. Paul and Cathryn are great people and made our stay a good one.
The area is very nice, everywhere we went the people were friendly.

Pillsbury State Park (18mi) is a hidden gem with great wildlife viewing and wonderful exploring via paddle or foot. Across the Connecticut River are other ski/hiking destinations, Mt. Ascutney and Okemo Mountain. The Augustus St. Gauden's National Park in nearby Cornish, NH is an easy drive and was the home to one of America's premier sculptors.

AZ, Urun and Webpro, I fought against walk breaks in the beginning of this journey but I am now a convert. I wonder if I couldn't have added the distance i'm running now without the breaks but I know that adding distance is a lot more comfortable using intervals. I know they will carry me through the HM. We newbies are so fortunate to have your wisdom! I can't believe I just finished my last run before Sunday. The wait is going to kill. How do you deal with the anticipation stress? BTW, Urun, I took what I thought was your approach with my knee and it seems to have worked - holding my breath. I coupled PT stretching and icing with Aleve for the inflamation with slightly shorter training runs. It's still sore but I don't need to curse every time I stand and walk just to move past the pain. Didi, I'm using your fueling.
Thanks, all! Keep running !!

Goals: 5k under 30 min.; HM under 2 hr.; AG award in the USAF HM! and one full marathon.
It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
Mary Kay, I wish you the best for your race on Sunday. It's going to be so much fun!!! Rest, relax, keep hydrated and fueled. You have prepared well and you're going to have a great run. Your previous aches and pains are going to be a distant memory. Keep smiling!
I've had some really good runs lately. Training with my husband is so much more fun than training alone. We run together three days a week. I usually throw in an extra day or two of running after we hit the gym. I've started doing squats again - I'm in pain! I'm determined to continue to do them every day, gradually increasing the number of sets until I'm ready to add a hop at the finish of each squat. I'm working on strengthening the quads, hamstrings and glutes. I want to give my knees a fighting chance before I ramp up the long runs.
Webpro, glad to hear you are going to be running for the sheer joy of it. What a wonderful way to run!
Stay positive and stay healthy, all. And keep posting!
Good luck in the Flying Pig. There may be only one hill, but it's a doozy. I ran Nashville over the weekend, and the combination of hills and heat did in a lot of good racers. What I'm saying is be thankful for the 6:30 start and get in an early corral. I started at 7:06 AM and by the time mile 11 rolled around the temps had risen enough to really amp up an already challenging course.
Also, the walk/run approach really does help, particularly when distances get past 5-6 miles. I know it's sped me up and I think it's cut back on the injuries. My problem is that I want to go farther and faster, so injuries have become more routine. This weekend was the first time I've raced healthy in a long time, so I'm grateful for what I have.
So kids, is there a solution to the problem of chafing from underwear elastic – other than going commando?
Having an up-and-down week; I pooped out on my track workout Monday night but managed a 9-mile progression run early this morning just fine. My legs complained about climbing the stairs at work afterwards, though! I'm just glad I'm not training over the summer for a fall marathon this year.
Guayaquilwriter, I'm glad to hear that your wife is recovering and hope the trend continues.
Mary Kay, you definitely don't want to move to AZ to escape pollen! We didn't have enough already from the palo verde, acacia, and desert broom, so we also imported tons of Bermuda grass and orange trees! I actually love the smell, and downtown Mesa is very pretty in the spring when all the yellow flowers fall off the palo verde and form drifts on the sidewalks - but I've been doubling up on my antihistamines and it's still sneeze city!
Az, Shiprock sounds very scenic – is it also a flat course? You'll have to tell us all about it!
Heading up to Prescott Friday evening for Whiskey Row…. Good luck to everyone else who's racing this weekend!

MaryKay, AZ, Kirk & anyone I've missed!~Big race weekend coming up. Safe travels to/from your respective HM races this weekend. Run strong!
Urun2me~I'm so excited you are running the Lakefront Marathon in my town. Beautiful route and well run event. Sorry your husband wasn't able to register, it filled up fast this year! All the best in your training!
Welcome all new poster! Love to read about your triumphs and challenges. Keep it up!
Thanks Marie, Kathy, Mary Kay, Nan, Dan and all for your well wishes! I was doing fine in handling the nerves until today.....My last run was 10 miles on Sunday, only walking since then to rest the hip. No pain, just an occasional ache. Continuing my daily stretches and foam rolling. The hill climb at mile 4.5 to 5.5 will tax my hip, and I intend to walk that portion. The weather report for Saturday's HM has been changing daily, from 40% chance of thunderstorms to partly sunny, 50 degrees, the latter is what I'm hoping for! The training is done for this event, and I have learned so much. Thank you all for your generous advice and sharing your training experience. I'm so grateful for it.
Run strong, friends!
Went for an very, very slow easy 3 mile run this morning to take the edge off. I just wanted to know my hip would hold up. Used my original C25k route to remind me how far I've come. HM here I come!
Best of luck in your HM this weekend! You are well prepared and deserve a great day. Push all negative thoughts right out of your mind and find only the positive in every little thing. You're going to amaze yourself!!
Six weeks into running and my husband has finally learned about those little voices in his head. I pushed the pace in this morning's run to show him what it would feel like. It's been my job to convince him to not worry about running slowly at the beginning of each run, to ease into the run and then have enough at the end to finish strong. More than once I've had to ask, "where's the fire?" So, this morning I started us out relaxed yet at a good clip. By our third interval (of 13) I could tell we were running well. I decided to keep a solid pace and pull him along at the end. As predicted, the last two intervals were a struggle for him. I could tell by his breathing and body position that he was fighting the urge to stop. Rather than run slightly behind him as I usually do, I stayed just in front of him to motivate him to not give in to the little voices. He stayed right with me and was pleased with the overall workout. We both agreed, however, that regular runs do not have to be done at that pace. Regular runs should make us feel tired at the end, but not exhausted like we did this morning. He's learning! He's also learning that running endorphins are the greatest!
URUN, I need you with me on my runs! I usually do my training runs by myself, but when I do group runs it makes a world of difference to team up with a good pacer or pace group to keep me going.
I did an easy 40 mins. last night and it wasn't so easy. It was my first time running with a little heat and humidity it made a noticeable difference. I keep telling myself that it's all GOOD TRAINING and makes me stronger!!! Tonight is another 40 mins. and a warmer and even more humid day - YAY, such GOOD TRAINING, LOL!!!!
An overall thanks to everyone who posts here. I don't always get a chance to respond to every post but I get something out of each and every one. I'm so glad I found this group!

Judy, great advice! It's supposed to be 91! Yes, thank goodness we start early and I will be prepared now. Thanks.In all good conscience, I can't get in an early corral. I'll be lucky if I can avoid being last, I am so slow.
URun, loved your training report. You are a fantastic coach!
Sue P. someone told me it's all good and they were, of course, right. Everyone has bad runs. If you have a bunch together, look to see if you recently added distance or time per week. When you increase, you can expect to see some resistance in the beginning until your body adjusts. Also, everyone slows down when it gets hot and humid together. Asthma/allergies made it hard for me to breathe in the beginning and once I started using an inhaler my runs were much more manageable.
Debra, Nan, and anyone I've forgotten who is racing this weekend, run like the wind and have fun out there!

Good luck to all that are racing this weekend! Just relax and enjoy the ride! Everything is good! I will be watching for race reports from you all.
This is my first week back to running a normal schedule! I must say that 2 months with very little running does takes its toll on my running performance, but it could be worse. I just have to work my way back up. I can tell that my spin classes and running on the elliptical has helped me to sustain most of my fitness. My biggest hurdle is adjusting to running in a different type of shoe. I have run in Newton's for the past 2 years and have loved them, but my Dr. thinks they contributed to or caused my Morton's Neuroma and I think he may be correct. I can run without pain in my new shoes but it is just different. I thought I would try to run in my Newtons again since I no longer have any pain in my toe, but as soon as I took the first step my toe started hurting. I think it was the shoes that caused my problem.

Holdren: "The Administration remains committed to getting comprehensive energy and climate legislation through the Congress this year.
Obama's science advisors says, "The evidence for the dominance of the human role in what we are experiencing is powerful and I think it should be persuasive to anybody not blinded by wishful thinking."
President Obama's science adviser, John Holdren, said this yesterday that the "most important single thing that we need to get done in this country" to address energy and climate change issues is to pass legislation "that puts a significant price on greenhouse gas emissions." Without that, he added, the U.S. will not be doing enough to reduce emissions "and we will not have the credibility we need ultimately to forge the sort of international agreement that is required." WWF's Nick Sundt discusses Holdren's remarks in this repost.
Holdren made the statement during remarks at the National Climate Adaptation Summit organized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Holdren is the Director of OSTP, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
Hours later, President Obama said in a press conference that the Gulf oil disaster "should serve as a wake-up call that it's time to move forward on this legislation. It's time to accelerate the competition with countries like China, who have already realized the future lies in renewable energy. And it's time to seize that future ourselves. So I call on Democrats and Republicans in Congress, working with my administration, to answer this challenge once and for all." See our posting, President Obama says Gulf Disaster "Should Serve as a Wake-up Call that it's Time to Move Forward" on Energy and Climate Bill.
President Obama and his science adviser, John Holdren. Source: White House photo.
Holdren began his remarks yesterday by reminding the audience of the "core conclusions of climate change science":
1. "Global climate is changing. On average it is warming at a rate that is highly unusual against the background of natural variation that has always characterized the earth's climate. It's warming, on the average, but with that warming come changes in all of the elements of climate and the phenomena related to it. That means rain and snow, atmospheric circulation, ocean currents, storms, all changing in their spacial patterns, in their magnitudes and very importantly changing in their timing."
2. "The main cause of these changes in climate is human activity, above all the combustion of fossil fuels and secondarily tropical deforestation and other land use change. The evidence for the dominance of the human role in what we are experiencing is powerful and I think it should be persuasive to anybody not blinded by wishful thinking who looks at that evidence carefully."
3. "[T]hese changes in climate are already harming human well-being. This is not just a problem for our children and grandchildren. It's a problem for us now. We're seeing more and bigger floods in regions prone to flooding, we're seeing more and bigger droughts in regions prone to those, we're seeing worse wildfires, more powerful storms, worse outbreaks of forest pests like the pine bark beetle and the spruce budworm, more coral bleaching events, increased coastal erosion, damage to structures and roads from thawing permafrost in the far north and a lot more."
4. "[T]he harm is likely to grow to far larger levels if we fail to take aggressive action in this country and in concert with other nations on both mitigation and adaptation."
Holdren continued:
"Those conclusions from climate change science are robust. Nothing in the emails hacked from East Anglia University servers, nothing in the lapses in the IPCC's review process – which by the way have been few in number and minor in importance – nothing in any of that comes close to calling into question the core findings which I have just tersely summarized.
I can assure you that that is President Obama's view. It is my view. It is Secretary Chu's view, Secretary Salazar's view, NOAA Administrator Lubchenco's view, EPA Administrator Jackson's view, CEQ Chair Sutley's view, Energy and Climate Coordinator Browner's view. It is the Administration's view. And accordingly, the Administration remains committed to getting comprehensive energy and climate legislation through the Congress this year."
Holdren emphasized that we must both curb emissions (a.k.a. mitigation) and prepare for the impacts (a.k.a. adaptation), with equal emphasis on each:
"Mitigation alone won't work because the climate is already changing. We're already experiencing impacts from that. Nothing we can do in the mitigation domain can stop it overnight. And so a mitigation-only strategy would be insanity.
Adaptation alone won't work. Adaptation alone won't work because adaptation gets more difficult, more expensive, and less effective the larger are the changes in climate to which we are trying to adapt. If you live on an island that is one meter above sea level and the sea level goes up two meters, adaptation is no longer the question. You are dealing with evacuation.
Clearly what we need is enough mitigation to limit changes in climate to a level with which adaptation can largely cope."
When asked by Rick Piltz of Climate Science Watch when the President will address the American people in a speech focused specifically on climate change, Holdren answered:
"I certainly expect that there will be at some point going forward – I can't tell you exactly when it will be – but there certainly will be a major speech by the President that puts this all together in a forceful way. Because the fact is, it's true: it's not enough that I'm out there saying it, that Steve Chu's out there saying it, that Jane Lubchenco's out there saying it. It is far, far more powerful when the president says it. And he will do that"¦The President understands with crystal clarity what a big deal this is"¦.He believes in it. He understands it. And we're going to get it done."

Encouraging to read this report, thanks.
Sometimes Washington gets trapped by its phrase: – "Don't let the perfect become the enemy of the good" … In a stable climate, with an open and plentiful future, that is great rule.
As to Holdren's words: – "The evidence for the dominance of the human role in what we are experiencing is powerful and I think it should be persuasive to anybody not blinded by wishful thinking." – such careful wording is meant to preceed political discourse. And it is good, not perfect.
And shouting "fire!" and organizing the bucket brigade is another way to react… With perhaps less than two generations of relatively stable climate ahead, a stronger reaction would be even more good.
I would like to see something between these two extremes… Obama seems thrust into the role of crisis leader.
I agree; this is encouraging. I would love to see the President give a speech which pretty much this exact text.
Great article, Holdren is awesome. Now lets see the President sincerely push this legislation through.
Obama has repeatedly asserted that the USA will be burning lots of fossil fuels for decades to come. Prior to the BP disaster he announced a huge expansion of off-shore oil drilling, he supports the Kerry/Lieberman bill with its plan to "ensure a future for coal", and has proposed squandering tens of billions of dollars on the "clean coal" hoax and the toxic, dangerous, costly and ineffectual nuclear power boondoggle.
NONE of this is compatible with taking the action that scientists tell us is urgently needed if we are to have any chance of avoiding the worst outcomes of anthropogenic global warming.
Acknowledging the scientific reality of anthropogenic global warming and climate change while continuing to deny the scientific reality of the urgent need to phase out ALL fossil fuel use within years, not decades, is still denial.
Is this gulf oil volcano our ecological disaster Pearl Harbor then? If so why wasn't the 1979 IXTOC-1 well blow out our wake up call. We certainly had more motivation back then with gas lines from April through June of 1979. We also had Three Mile Island. So much time squandered and so much time lost.
"The Earth's Secrets, Hidden in the Skies", Daniel N. Baker, NY Times, 5/28/2010
". . . it collects mounds of environmental data which, in the hands of climate scientists, could add greatly to our understanding of global warming."
This is something the President could easily facilitate.
I would love to hear President Obama's excuses to all of those folks mentioned by Holdren as to why it is taking so long to come up with "a speech focused specifically on climate change." I would love to know his reasoning.
Yes, we will suffer some of the consequences of inaction. That is why Holdren is speaking about adaptation. I don't think the current disaster can be linked to evidence of climate change. To be sure, our need for oil led to deepwater drilling but it isn't like the climate has attacked us (yes, continued used of oil will advance global warming). The problem with waiting for the climate equivalent of Pearl Harbor is that, by the time we feel attacked, it will probably be too late to take preventative action.
The Arctic summer melt looks like it might be the Pearl Harbor event that we need to push the Nation over the Edge. Even if we do not break records, my guess, we will be a close second with the hand writing on the wall. We must make sure that the Media starts reporting in earnest however. There again I hope that the BP-MESS will awake at least a few journalists to do their job.
It is defiantly nice to see a dramatic shift in poll numbers, sad that the Gulf had to be sacrificed to achieve them.
Huh! a few days ago I commented that I thought John Holdren was being
held somewhere in a White House closet….well welcome John Holdren to
the light of day…what a coincidence! Now! stay in front Barack..don't
let him out of your sight and tell him what needs to be done. Paul
Ehrlich said of you that you are this country's best ecologist.
Interesting point. IMO
At the beginning of May the Arctic ice area was within the combined area of Washington and Oregon of the 40 year average. One month later we have almost added the area of Mexico to the difference and we have the hot months to go yet. Usually the melt rate stays somewhat parallel year to year. This pattern shows much more instability than the past.
That is good news. Noticed President Obama brought up international competition, that is one way to motivate people. Depending on other countries for energy already causes problems and investments in renewables will mitigate future problems. It's sad that we have to talk mitigation so much now, but it helps skeptics understand that this is a current problem and not a hypothetical issue in the future.
It's a delight to hear one of Holdren's stature making this statement, particularly in his present role in the administration. While it is very measured in tone it is also reasonably broad in discussing the needs for both mitigation and adaption. In addition, while it doesn't specifically explain the feedbacks, clear markers to two majors are laid down, presumably leaving Arctic ice loss for Obama to wield if he chooses:
". . . we're seeing worse wildfires, more powerful storms, worse outbreaks of forest pests like the pine bark beetle and the spruce budworm, more coral bleaching events, increased coastal erosion, damage to structures and roads from thawing permafrost in the far north and a lot more."
This seems very heartening in that it goes much further than immediate domestic politics might demand – it acknowledges to the international community that Obama is awake to and concerned by the feedbacks' accelerating capacities as being by far the most dangerous aspect of global warming.
Assuming that Holdren's statement will have been very carefully vetted, it may well be a signal that the administration is at last willing to formally admit the scale of the problem, which is a long-awaited step toward a willingness to negotiate its resolution.
I read in an old book years ago, that if the west Antarctic Ice sheet melts, there will be a lowering of sea level at the point of impact and it will push tsunami-like waves toward the Northern hemisphere.
Basically, althought our government is talking a little about climate change, it seems to me that they are still soft peddaling it. It can and will be truly catastrophic in the near future unless we make substantial cuts in CO2 emissions– say 80% by 2020?!
Is this the same John Holdren who, along with his friend Paul Ehrlich, predicted imminent mass starvation back in the late 1960's? How did their prediction of 65 million Americans dead of starvation in the 1980's work out? How about his encouragement of forced sterilization and other government-enforced population controls? Why should he be given credibility with such absurd views? Sorry folks, but the Malthusians have been wrong for more than 200 years, and I see no reason to start believing them now. Onward and upward! Limits to growth are for losers!
Well, they had better hurry. 2020 is only ten years away and it looks grim by almost any measure (http://www.global-warming-forecasts.com/2020-climate-change-global-warming-2020.php ). So far we have a lot of talk and handwaving and little action.
