Solid construction except for the adjustment. Prone to sway side to side which can be a little distracting. A homemade shim easily solved the problem. It would be nice if it folded for storage, but then it probably wouldn't be as stable.
Cool idea but not very sturdy. The keyboard simply sits on the stand and can easily be knocked over. The stand itself is wobbly.
This is a great item, a friend of mine has one. However, I would like to own one myself, but it's never in stock.

A Dunedin doctor sparked an emergency callout yesterday
afternoon after his kayak drifted away, leaving him stuck on
an island in Lake Dunstan.
Constable Doug Winter, of Cromwell, said the 61-year-old man
paddled out to the island for a day of fishing near the
wetlands area of the lake.
He tethered his kayak but the wind came up and it drifted
A resident heard the man's calls for help and a second person
spotted the upturned kayak drifting down the lake, sparking
two calls to emergency services about 5pm.
The man and his kayak were picked up by residents in boats.
The Clyde Coastguard was called but stood down. An ambulance
was also called as a precaution but the man did not require
medical treatment.

Reference Date: 29-May-2015
Rice production for 2015 is forecast at record levels
Rice exports in 2015/16 marketing year expected to increase
Harvesting of the 2015 main season rice crop is virtually completed. Planting of the secondary season is well advanced and will be harvested from September and continue until late November. FAO's latest forecast points to an aggregate 2015 rice production (including the 2015 main and the ongoing secondary seasons) of 1 million tonnes, 2 percent up from the 2014 bumper crop and a record. The anticipated increase in output mainly reflects expected higher yields due to generally favourable growing conditions coupled with continued government support to the sector in the form of improved agricultural infrastructure, such as drainage and irrigation systems, and the provision of higher yielding varieties.
The country normally exports about three-quarters of its annual rice production and rice is the second most important exported product after gold. Rice exports in the 2015/16 marketing year (January/December) are anticipated to increase by some 6 percent to 520 000 tonnes, as a result of strong demand from Venezuela and new export destinations, including Haiti, Panama and Belize.

How DuPont and P&G plan to make detergent from agricultural waste
According to the companies, Tide Coldwater will be the first brand in the world to blend cellulosic ethanol in a scalable and commercial way.
Ethanol is a key ingredient in the detergent's formulation, allowing for stability of the detergent formula and better washing performance. The cellulosic ethanol, which is made from harvest by-products, emits less greenhouse gas compared to petroleum or the currently used corn-based ethanol it will replace. Over 7,000 tons of agricultural waste will be re-purposed a year to meet the needs of the Tide Coldwater brand.
DuPont will produce the renewable, cellulosic ethanol at the company's new U.S. biorefinery, currently under construction in Nevada, Iowa. Once completed, the plant will be the world's largest bioethanol refinery, producing 30 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year — a process with zero net carbon emissions.
Gianni Ciserani, Procter & Gamble group president of global fabric and home care, said, "We believe that actions speak louder than words in the area of sustainability and this partnership with DuPont demonstrates we are doing just that. As one of the world's largest laundry manufacturers, we have a responsibility to lead renewable sourcing in products. We do this by ensuring consumers still get the great Tide laundry performance they want, while further reducing the impact on the environment. In January, we committed to removing phosphates in our laundry products."
DuPont Senior Vice President James Collins added, "With this collaboration, DuPont is also taking the first step to diversify its markets for cellulosic ethanol beyond fuels. As we build on our integrated science capabilities, we will continue to seek out new opportunities and new collaborations to transform value chains with more sustainable solutions."

I agree, success is happiness! Not superficial happiness, but deep happiness. I would also throw in there feeling "content."
What is Success?
The last six months I've moved and moved. I guess if you count running a marathon with 50,000 people and meeting various bloggers and Oiselle teammates then yes I've been relatively social. At some points I catch myself feeling sorry for myself as if I am upset for choosing the series of events that eventually led me to New Jersey.
I don't know why I would even begin to feel sorry for myself since I'm completely happy in my area, I love who I'm living with and I'm happy with myself mentally. Despite still not having a job and actively looking, everything else is my life is so positive.
I know for me personally I am my biggest critic. When I race I have always found the imperfections of a race, whether it is taking the race out too quickly, too slowly, being boxed in…ect. I even go as far as to find imperfections in races that I cannot control such as weather or temperature. When someone gives me a compliment I find myself accepting it but talking about how I could be doing better. Or what I could do to be better. For instance if someone says "nice hair", I might say thank you but it needs a trim.
I've always been extremely hard on myself trying to meet certain criteria that I feel will satisfy and cause me to feel successful and happy. A new PR in a race? A new haircut that makes me feel stylish? Working 50 hour weeks to pay for bills? The list is endless. I'm honestly not sure the list ends.
It's important for me (and us) to realize that while you can have everything you put your mind too, it isn't feasible to believe that you would truly be happy with every single thing. When I was working 50 hour weeks I was working, running and occasionally seeing friends. Was I 100% happy? No, I wasn't living with who I am now and found myself wishing I was. I wasn't as social as I could be and I often missed important events due to work or to get training in. I made the choice several times to hang out and be social versus training…but then my training suffered. I made the choice several times to train versus going to a late night movie…but then my social life suffered.
Sure I was happy because I could afford the things I wanted but I was not truly happy. My time was spent wishing I had more personal or free time. I was wishing to have everything in life, bake a cake and eat it too.
Now that I'm unemployed I'm wishing I had a job that will satisfy my needs of what I want to do. I'm wishing I had less free time and working hours to be able to afford everything I want. I'm wishing that I had a job that I enjoyed again. Oddly enough I truly miss working.
I guess what I'm getting at here is that in life you have to prioritize and have balance. As I grow older I'm slowly learning that. While there is no one size fits all perfect life, you can be happy without succeeding in every single life event or thing. You do not have to "do it all" to be happy. I have developed a life mantra that you are successful only if you are happy. Whether you are happy by working out, by working, by being with a significant other, you must be happy to be successful. Truly happy both inside and out. That is something I have been working on and I can honestly say I feel I'm accomplishing each day.
Question for you: How do you define success?
25 Comments on "What is Success?"
i recently thought about success too…
You've hit the nail on the head in regards to what it means to be happy. Although accomplishing tasks makes us happy, it's more the contentment within our lives and "inner being" (that sounds so corny) that truly makes us happy no matter the state of our external affairs.
Nice honest post. You're definitely right in realising how important balance is!
Lately I've been thinking that success is defined by 2 parts, and they aren't exactly mutually exclusive from each other:
1) Financial success – which I define as having enough to never worry about money for the rest of your life.
2) Personal freedom success – being free to do what you are most passionate about. Choosing to do what makes you happy the most, is some degree of successfulness. Even if that thing that makes you happy isn't financially lucrative, not initially anyway.
Ultimately the 2 are linked, in that if your children are going to resent you because you can't financially support their schooling or nutrition, that's also going to affect your inner happiness. So success is a sum of the 2.
What a great post!
A year ago I was working a job where I'd work 12-14 hours days. I was challenged and always using my brain, but I was miserable. I was so exhausted after work I wasn't running and I could barely find time to do laundry and buy groceries.
Now I'm in a job where I'm not as challenged, but I have time to do the "other" things: see friends, run, be organized. I know that right now, there is where I need to be. I don't think I always want to be in a job where I'm not as challenged as I'd like, but I find having a personal like to be so important for MY mental well-being.
Yes, finding the things that make you happy and CHOOSING to be happy regardless of circumstances is worth so much more than how much money you make or other "successes"… this post reminds me of the "if only" syndrome. It's so easy for us to always be looking to the next thing and we forget that if we're not happy where we are now, it's unlikely to change when xyz changes. Glad to hear you feel like you're in a good place with this!
Happiness definitely means success for me too. If you honestly enjoy what you're doing, then it's much more likely you'll give it 110 percent–and if all goes well, then it's a greater chance you'll be successful.
All I can say is Amen.

Research Institution:
AbstractSingle photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) maintains an important role in the study of disease models in small animals. Although rich in physiological information content, the interpretation of SPECT data is challenging because SPECT images lack anatomical information. While high-resolution SPECT systems suitable for small animal imaging have been developed, none of these is compatible with small animal MRI systems to form a combined SPECT/MRI modality, which would provide the anatomical information. This project will develop a cost-effective, high-resolution, digital, photon-counting detector for small animal SPECT that could be integrated into existing small animal MRI systems. The module will consist of a new and specially-designed CMOS Digital Pixel Sensor (DPS) readout coupled to a high sensitivity radiation sensor. Phase I will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a high resolution photon-counting ¿-ray detector for simultaneous SPECT/MRI combined imaging, based on a radiation sensor coupled to this newly-designed DPS sensor. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee The new detector should have widespread use in small animal and human multi-modality imaging systems. Additionally, the readout sensor should have applications in photon-counting X-ray imaging, bioluminescence imaging, nondestructive testing, and homeland security

You should really just look up the DDA algorithm as previously suggested, it is 'far' simpler implementation than what you have described.
My description was very poor. The algorithm I wrote is really simple, but it requires that your ray is inside the cell that you're finding the neighbor of.
Here's a simple version with a single value:
int sign = Math.Sign(direction) float distance; if(sign == 1) { distance = 1 - value; } else if(sign == -1) { distance = -value; } else { distance = infinity; }
After you get the distance to the next face for each component (X, Y, and Z), you figure out which face you will get to first by dividing the distance by the direction.
Once you know which face you will encounter first, you know which cell is the next cell. The problem I'm having is that I rely on the position of the ray to trace through the cells.
Sorry that I'm being very vague, I have ADHD, and it's really hard for me to articulate what's going through my mind. All I see is a visualization of my algorithm, and I could give you the code, but it wouldn't make sense since there are a few things that you'll likely not know what's happening.

No end in sight! Snow set to hit the South AGAIN as big freeze goes on in the North East
- Swathe of snow, sleet and freezing rain expected to hit the South this week
- Forecasters dubbed the upcoming cold snap 'Winter Storm Pax'
- The North East will be spared snow this week, but the mercury will hover around the 10s and 20s
Another round of snow and ice dubbed 'Winter Storm Pax' is expected to coat Atlanta and other parts of the Deep South this week.
Less than two weeks after some southern cities were crippled by a couple of inches of snow, forecasters have issued another winter storm watch for the Georgia area.
With forecasters predicting snow, sleet and freezing rain for parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and possibly north Texas on Monday, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has begun to treat priority roads and bridges to avoid another ice storm fiasco.
Here we go again: Snow falls at the Lincoln Center in New York during Fashion Week on Sunday night
Snow end in sight: Sunday night's snowfall added to piles of snow and ice that accumulated last week
Monday forecast: Meteorologists say snow, sleet and freezing rain will develop in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and possibly north Texas on Monday
Monday night forecast: Temperatures are expected to plummet overnight in the South
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal was forced to apologize for the state's poor handling of last month's snow storm, which left hundreds of children stranded in schools overnight, some without provisions, and created traffic jams stretching for miles on roads coated with just two inches of snow.
According to The Weather Channel the next swathe of southern snow will kick off on Monday morning, as a stripe of wet conditions develop in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and possibly extreme north Texas. It will then spread eastward into the Mid-South region.
Several inches of snow and sleet may accumulate by early Monday evening in parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and parts of west Tennessee and northern Mississippi, making travel hazardous.
As cold air near the surface continues to build overnight, rain may become freezing in parts of northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, northern and central Mississippi, northern Alabama, and northwest Georgia from Monday to Tuesday.
Frozen: Shaun Burke cleans the ice and snow off bushed that border his home in Lake Oswego, Oregon on Sunday morning in case it kills the plants. Another swathe of snow and ice is hitting the U.S.
Ice storm: A snow plow clears walking space outside the Lincoln Center in New York during fashion week
Bundled up: A woman leaves New York Fashion Week after snow fell in the city on Sunday night
Tuesday forecast: Driving rain is predicted for parts of the South on Tuesday, including in Atlanta and New Orleans
Tuesday night forecast: Forecasters say snow will shift out of Arkansas and Oklahoma into Tennessee and North Carolina Monday night into Tuesday, with snow also possible for the northernmost counties of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia
The Weather Channel also predicts
that snow will shift out of Arkansas and Oklahoma into Tennessee and
North Carolina from Monday night to Tuesday.
is also possible for the northernmost counties of Mississippi, Alabama,
and Georgia, with some sleet expected. These conditions are slated to
continue until at least Wednesday.
Meanwhile in the North East, The Weather Channel reports most of the snow will be over for the region by Monday morning.
Snow showers and flurries are likely from western Pennsylvania through northern New England, with a band of light snow across southern Virginia not expected to get higher than an inch.
The remainder of the region is expected to be dry and cold, with highs mostly in the 10s and 20s.
In New York, the mercury will hover around the 30s until Thursday when it is forecast to rise to 39 degrees.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny entered the courtroom on Thursday to hear the verdict in his embezzlement trial in an apparently buoyant mood.
He jokingly asked: "Why is everyone looking so serious?"
But three-and-a-half hours later, the judge delivered a heavy blow that appeared to rattle the composure of a man who has shown no fear in exposing alleged corruption around President Vladimir Putin.
Judge Sergei Blinov ordered a five-year prison sentence for the 37-year-old lawyer who then only had seconds to say his final goodbyes before bailiffs in the court in the northern city of Kirov moved in to arrest him.
Navalny just had time to hug his wife and tearful mother and shake hands with his father before being handcuffed and led away.
His co-defendant Pyotr Ofitserov, who received the slightly milder punishment of four years in prison, embraced his wife for as long as possible before they had to part.
After arriving in Kirov a free man on Thursday on the night train from Moscow, Navalny was starting to serve his sentence in one of the city's two detention centres.
Well aware of what his sentence was likely to be, he reportedly had not bought a return railway ticket.
He was taken to detention centre number two in Kirov, where he will stay until his appeal is heard. If the sentence is confirmed, Navalny will then be sent to serve it out in a penal colony.
Nine prison guards clad in camouflage, bullet proof vests and helmets stood blocking the driveway outside the detention centre as several dozen Navalny supporters sat outside the railings.
Navalny was convicted with organising embezzlement of a timber firm while acting as an unpaid advisor to the governor of the Kirov region in 2009.
Since Putin's return to the Kremlin last May, the authorities have raked over Navalny's past and opened so many probes against him that he says he has lost count. The Kirov case is just the first to go to trial.
The historic iron-porched courthouse in the low-rise city of Kirov, 900 kilometres (560 miles) north of Moscow, was an unlikely setting for an extraordinary trial that saw more than 100 journalists arriving from 4:00 am to secure a spot.
Dressed in a checked shirt and jeans, Navalny had tweeted irreverently as the judge read out the conviction in an almost inaudible rapid monotone.
Navalny even complained on Twitter that he had a problem: his phone battery was about to die. He also gleefully suggested that the court should start a Mexican wave.
Sitting beside lawyers, Navalny directed warm glances at his wife Yulia, who wore plastic wristbands saying "Team Navalny" and "For Navalny".
There were no mitigating circumstances, said the judge, announcing a sentence of five years in a prison camp, a year less than sought by prosecutors.
Usually so ready with a catchy soundbite, Navalny did not say a word to journalists as he was led away.
"May God have mercy on You," read the slogan on a picture of Putin that Navalny tweeted before handing over his telephone to his wife.
Navalny, who has a daughter aged 12 and a son aged five, could stay in prison until 2018, the same year when Putin could stand for a fourth term in the next presidential elections.
Later, Navalny's wife, who is widely expected to take a much bigger public role after her husband's conviction, emerged on the court porch, with tears in her eyes but perfectly controlled as she called for supporters to carry on the fight.
"We will win. Please believe too that everything will be great."

For long time I have been using hibernation instead of shutdown. I do normal shutdowns maybe twice a week if not less. After hibernation I always power off computer (from UPS button) because USB devices stays working.
I don't know what happened but now my PC isn't shutting down after falling to hibernation. It justs restarts. But restarts with delay of 1/2 seconds (not sure). I don't know what's wrong. Problem from hardware level or OS problem? Maybe it's because of overclocking that I failed (computer just froze up and I was forced to reset CMOS)? Also no problems were indicated by Memtest86+.
Windows XP PRO SP3 with latest updates of course

News Rebecca Griego Act
posted by January 14 at 13:32 PMon
Scanning the action in the legislature this week (with an antenna up for "What Are They Doing for You Lately,") I came across a cool bill being sponsored byof courseSenator Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-36, Seattle).
Informally known as the Rebecca Griego act, Senator Kohl-Welles is trying to streamline the process for women to get protection from dangerous men. You'll remember last year, Griego, who was murdered at the UW by her stalker ex-boyfriend, had trouble getting action from the authorities.
And as Jonah reported shortly after the murder, the problem seemed pervasive.
Senator Kohl-Welles's bill doesn't have a number yet, but here's a description of what it would do:
Simplify service of process. A victim should not be penalized if the abuser cannot be served. In the UW murder-suicide incident, although Rebecca Griego made it clear that she wanted her abuser to be prosecuted when he was found, she was unable to serve process on her abuser. The protection order was not served because her stalker had evaded the Seattle Police Department, which is fairly common. Senate Bill XXXX will make it easier for victims to serve process by mail or by publication when an abuser has successfully evaded the authorities.
Griego's sister Rachel may testify when the bill is introduced in the Judiciary Committee this Wednesday.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Please add a "start wave" button, before the first wave, so we have some time to plan anything before the attack.
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I would LOVE the option to send the incoming wave, with the click of a button, I hate waiting around doing nothing for them to come
Oct. 3, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Hey! I have to praise you for listening to the comments & critics and tweaking the difficulty a bit. The game feels MUCH better now! Also I have to say that the artwork is simply lovely!
Developer response from menaragames
Thanks! hope you enjoy playing!edit | delete
Oct. 11, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great game, Just a couple of suggestions. 1. Keyboard shortcuts for towers/upgrades 2. Send next wave button. 3. Have a "Start Wave 1" button so we have a little time to check what enemy is coming first and the layout of the map so we can set up some traps, like golems at intersections and whatnot.
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Needs details on units,like how much of atack/defense they have and how much each level gives to them
Developer response from menaragames
Added Great Library.edit | delete
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The biggest issue in this game is resources. Why do most/all the towns, regardless of difficulty, have the same reward and same production of resources? You can farm the Easy towns and get the same as playing the medium/hard towns. So: 1) Higher difficulty should mean more reward/income and 2) Your highest rank achieved should improve your resource production (more incentive for replaying the map)
Developer response from menaragames
This issue has been resolved. Different difficulty now has different resource rewards.edit | delete
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Resoucers production per turn and map rewards are the same from the very 1st level until the very last one. Later levels should give more reward and more resources/turn. Otherwise if i need to farm resources, i will just go to level 1,2 or 3 and get an easy 50 resource of what i need. Make it so the later levels give you more reward and resource per turn. By the way, the 'defend our city who's being attacked' system is kinda pointless and so is the tower. If you lose, you get a 15-20 of everything penalty, if you spend resources you spend like 12-15 of everything plus the build towers resources you've already spent. So basically you get a resouce penalty everytime you get attacked. If the system was you lose the city when you get defeated from an attack and towers gave you defense bonus on that matter. Theen i would care more about building more towers and spending resources on incoming attacks, otherwise it is pointless.
Oct. 14, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Not bad. I think this game has plenty of good things but needs some polish to make it perfect. I have some quick feedback. 1) Later in the game, Knights are useless compared to Tor, and Tor is pretty much useless until you have the "Wall 1" improvement, after which Tor becomes unstoppable. All you need is a bunch of level 1 Archer's and level 1 Tor's (with Wall 1) and you cannot lose. That one Town before the final Town was one of the most difficult gaming challenges I've ever had. After about 10 tries where I got totally crushed without any chance of surviving, I classified it as "impossible", until I finally got the Wall 1 improvement for Tor, after which it was ridiculously easy. 2) That attacking thing that happens after is round is pretty pointless imo. It's just annoying to the player because of lack of control. 3) Good casual game with big potential. Keep up the good work.
Oct. 6, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) survivors should be regenerating themselves while waiting the next crash, i mean if a line of soldiers survived the last atack with one point of life, the next time they fight they will die in the first second, making nonsense that point of defense
May. 16, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) wise words for an kind of game: don't make targeting ai based if your ai is crap. make it at least possible to choose prefered targets. could be a great game but the crappy ai ruins it completely.
Oct. 14, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) General: "ARCHERS, FIRE AT WILL WHEN YOU SEE THE ENEMY!" Archers: "What if they come to close?" General: "DO NOT FIRE. JUST LOOK THEM IN THE FACE, UNTIL THEY GO FARTHER."
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Please make ranged attack flying first. Great game otherwise!
Developer response from menaragames
Updated, archers now prioritize flying units.edit | delete
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Interresting game but some improvement might be done... * Don't play with x2 or x4 speed => the speed to earn command point is not x2 or x4. I can win a town without any casualties in normal speed and loose the game in x4 speed with the same towers at the same places => bug ? * Impossible to farm in order to get ressources. You can earn 50 ressources in a battle and loose everything during a town fight. * You can't end a turn if you don't have 0 AP => Impossible to collect daily ressource without consuming your 2 AP... * archers don't fired at flying units first => huge problem. At least, put an option on each tower to allow us to choose wich unit we want to attack. * An option to change a building we previously built could be a plus.
Developer response from menaragames
Most of these issues solved!edit | delete

Under rating threshold (hideshow) to actually answer people's concerns- Badge Of The Day seems to be working fine to me. Keep in mind the "buildings" its talking about isnt your attack units, but buildings you can place after you beat a level. So your going to have to beat 2 levels and then build on those spots.
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The scrolling of the map with "Get Ready" showing is extremely annoying. I suppose that's because it feels like something that only the player should control. Also, it feels like a pointless delay, especially after I just restarted the map. However, I would like to have a few seconds to build before the enemies start coming.
Nov. 2, 2015
Under rating threshold (hideshow) They REALLY need to learn to shoot the ones closest to the castle.
Jun. 4, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Great game. The only confusion is in the tutorial. What is a swordsman/archer formation? Is there an actual statistical advantage given to certain formations, or are you just pointing out that stacking is a more efficient defense? If the former is true could you be clear as to exactly what makes a formation?
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The snow level is a beast on my eyes. I don't know if it is just me bc I am colorblind but it is too bright and I can't see the outlines for the plots to put your troops.
Sep. 30, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It's really hard to see the tower spots in the snowy stages. Could you change the color of the circles for those levels?

Under rating threshold (hideshow) 4 demons are coming. There are 8 of us. Let's all cover one and let the other 3 pass through.
Nov. 2, 2015
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Well, this game surely defied my expectations. Before playing it I simply assumed it would be a copy of Cursed Treasure, but it`s unique in it`s own way. Though I would suggest a couple of things: First of all, a Start Wave button. I barely can buy any towers and study the map before the waves begin. Second, a little bit of an improve on the unit`s A.I would be nice. Many times the enemies were close to the castle, and my archers went full retard and shot other enemies WAY farther, and I lost matches because of that. Anyway, game`s nice so far. 4/5
May. 17, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A lot of grinding for me..maybe higher reward and less loss. I lost the 80 crystal even though i spent resources on it. Make the sequel if there is more balance. 4/5
Sep. 30, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) (3/4) --Once you have the Golem, he will be your melee unit of choice. You'll want to buy his Wall 1 upgrade ASAP, followed quickly by Earthshake 1. Upgrade Ironcore to give him a little more staying power, but with a couple of Golems in a formation, the rebuilding rate should be high enough to send new ones back to the fight as they fall. If you want to get the level 2 upgrades, they'll definitely make your life easier, but go with Wall 2 first. The Wall upgrades don't just stop extra enemies, they let your Golem hit them all at once, too, and bunch them up nicely for a little Earthshake love. --With all three Workshops in place, the Golem costs less to recruit than the Knight and only a little more than the Archer. At this point, Knights and Swordsmen are superfluous; you'll only need Golems and Archers to finish a map.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Buldings constructed, the nightmare is over
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) this game has a huge potential, ruined by so many unnecessary small mistakes: drop the difficulty, at least at the beginning. everyone loves a challenging game, but, also, everyone hates getting beaten the shit out, especially at the start of a game. fix the damn ai. players allready said it, and players will keep complaining until you do something about it. having built an effective defense & seeing it ruined by soldiers with the tactical skill of a toaster is incredibly frustrating. add unit information. i don't want to choose my defense by looking at a unit & thinking, 'oh well, this one surely has to do a lot of damage, for he's got such a nice shiny little sword there.' give us a "start first wave"-button. or at least give us a little more time to check the map before sending it in. don't get me wrong, i really enjoyed playing your game. but atm, it's barely more than slightly above average. with these small mistakes fixed, it could be somewhat-freaking-holy-jesus-awesome.
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Needs better AI for my soldiers. Sucks when 3 soldiers take on 3 enemies, but all soldiers attack the first one, and the other 2 enemies run right by. Things like this kill the game.
Developer response from menaragames
It is actually pretty substantial for soldier to gang a single unit, because a lot of the later stages requires soldiers grouping up to handle a strong enemy unit. The strategy to get around this issue is make separated clustered guilds, not just single cluster over one area only.edit | delete
May. 16, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I see two main things that would improve this game. The first is pausing the first wave until we are ready. Almost every time I entered a map I would look around and figure out were to place defenses, and then restart the map. The second thing is change how the cities are attacked. Most of the time the city would lose and my resources pillaged, even if I committed resources to help protect it.
Aug. 12, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) A nice tower defence game. However the high difficulty forces you to replay older levels often. If you have problems with the difficulty you should try to replay older levels, than you will get a lot of the one ressource that is shown above the village. I quickly upgraded my archers, but my best results I had with mixed forces, as each of the four units has its drawbacks and advantages. Strongholds are highly recommended as these increase your starting ressources. To the developers: its sad that there are only 4 types of warriors and you would definitely need a second ranged units that can take out or slow down the heavily armored units.
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Soldier: "SIR! The enemy has gotten behind us" Commander: "Focus on the ones coming towards us." Soldier: "Sir?" Commander: "I SAID EYES FRONT SOLDIER!"

Oct. 5, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) can we have a feature where you can sell back and re-buy buildings at the map overworld? some buildings are far less useful then others, and you can get screwed late game for buying the wrong buildings.
Developer response from menaragames
Yep! Implemented now.edit | delete
Oct. 3, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) higher lvl should have higher max resource i could farm on the first 3 lvl and get the same as harder lvl's
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Some suggestions: Harder level should provide higher rewards. Winning the city defends should provide some resourses (not a big amount). Also, mine should increase city's resourse production for more than 2. Achievements?
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I had a good laugh when I lost a battle due to having zero of a resource, lost 0 of the resource I had none of, and then got 10 of the resource immediately after.
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) hmm, the game suddenly got easier,must have been a recent update..or maybe these additional towers
Oct. 1, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I lost it when the tutorial tells you to place towers "strategicly". Needs an Engrish-->English option.
Developer response from menaragames
Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.edit | delete
Sep. 29, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Also, try giving some more resources from the places you liberate/conquer/defend per turn.
Sep. 2, 2013
Under rating threshold (hideshow) There are build spots to close to the edge of the map. You cannot build there because it constantly brings up the map-scroll arrow.
Apr. 3, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I click on new game icon at the start menu by mistake and lost all my progress.You should add save slot or a warning message to advise that all progress will be reset if you click on it.Nice game anyway!
Oct. 13, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Why must I manually end the turn? Couldn't that be automated to when my Action Points hit 0?
Oct. 2, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Since it's partly a role-playing game, I think some more effort should be put into improving the grammar and spelling. Sometimes it's just horrible. The game itself is rather enjoyable, though :)
Oct. 16, 2012
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) There needs to be a "prioritize enemy" command because my archers are retards. They will just attack the wimpy lizard men while the Ripper just runs out of their range.It also seems random as to wich unit they attack, is it "Attack unit that's been on the map longest or the enemy that's farthest on the road? Well even just a "click on unit to prioritize it" for all your units.I think it would make the game more interactive and heck of a lot less annoying. + if you agree
Oct. 14, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) not getting mah badges whats goin on here?
Oct. 22, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Really enjoying the game. Odd to make the badge of the day a game with broken badges, though.
Aug. 20, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) It's an alright TD game but the interface is stupid. There was so many times that I couldn't select a tower spot to build on or an actual tower because it was behind another tower or a monster or even behind the UI itself. The overall game would've been so much better but it was these aspects that just made the game make me angry. Also, the first wave shouldn't start right away when you start a new level, I actually want some time to have a look at the map before being rushed by swarms of monsters and then restarting the level so I can actually use my plan.
Oct. 12, 2011
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I agree with Kaltherzigh on both counts. The "Defend our City" portion is just kind of a waste. All that really happens is either way you lose resources, and it's more annoying than anything. If it was some sort of interactive, it might be worthwhile, but as it is right now, I don't see the point of it.
Nov. 4, 2015
Under rating threshold (hideshow) This is a fun game but has quite a few major issues. (1) A start wave for the first wave so it's not a freaking race to look at the map and plan your strategy before the first enemy gets there. (2) I would love for there to be a way to zoom out on the maps so you don't have to keep scrolling back and forth. On a computer that lags quite a bit scrolling in the map becomes impossible in the later levels. Which makes the last two levels damn near impossible since you have to be able to scroll to see both your attack points. (3) Add a dotted line or something to indicate the flight pattern for the flying creatures. Having to guess where they are going to come from can be a pain and you usually can't fix it once you realize that your archers are badly placed for where they are coming from. (4) The mechanism of the "attack" when you end day seems very random. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for if you failed or won and then how many resources you lost.

Excellent Work! i have only one think to say nothing of really bad, i think the instrument over the guitar at 0:08 to 0:23 prevents good hearing of the quality of guitars in background, i personaly prefert to hear the guitars at 08 to 23 than the syntetizer (i guess it is a synt not sure). The rest is Totaly Perfect !
Should be cool to have more version of it. It's a wonder full music wich the original is always playing in my garage as background music. If there is a new version with a 08 to 23 like i think, it will be my new music for my garage !
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hell yes!
A wonderful remake. Sonic Adventure is still my favorite sonic game of all time.

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
Sparrows are small birds with a global distribution.
The Old World Sparrows (family Passeridae) - of which there are about 140 species - are native to the old world tropics and Australasia.
American Sparrows - or New World sparrows - are closely related to the Old World Sparrows, although some physical differences as far as the seed-eaters bills and head markings exist.
Their average lifespan is 4 to 7 years.
The Old World true sparrows are found in Europe, Africa and Asia. In Australia and the Americas, early settlers imported some species which quickly naturalized, particularly in urban and degraded areas.
The common House Sparrows - found throughout North America - are actually not at sparrows at all. They belong to the weaver finch family. They are non-natives (introduced species) and are known for their aggressiveness towards other birds.
Sparrows are small and gregarious seed-eaters with short, thick, but pointed bills.
The different species tend to vary greatly in their plumage, and some are quite colorful. In general, they tend to have a mostly brownish or greyish plumage with short tails and stubby beaks.
Adult sparrows go through two molts a year - in late summer and late winter. Juveniles undergo three molts in their first year - referred to as first plumage-cycle.
Sparrows typically forage on the ground, often in loose flocks. They mostly feed on seeds; and will readily visit local bird feeders. They also take insects, green foods (grasses) and buds.
Sparrows nest either on the ground under shrubs or low in trees. They may also accept nest boxes.

Paul Shannon doesn't bother trying to talk individual accomplishments with his son Davonte anymore. What's the use? Paul knows that Davonte's going to deflect the conversation away from himself and toward the team as a whole. He's going to say that statistics and honors rank a distant second to group success.
"Davonte's such a humble kid it's hard to get him to talk about himself," Paul said by phone. "Someday he'll realize the magnitude of what he's accomplished. He'll look back on it and say, 'Wow.' "
Many players have emerged from the Mid-American Conference and gone on to solid NFL careers, in some instances attaining stardom. Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich played at Marshall when it was a member of the MAC. Jason Taylor came out of Akron, Ben Roethlisberger out of Miami (Ohio). Michael Turner was a Northern Illinois running back, Phil Villapiano a Bowling Green linebacker. Kent State gave the NFL Jack Lambert, James Harrison, Antonio Gates and Josh Cribbs.
Shannon heads into his senior season at the University at Buffalo poised to secure a rare honor none of the aforementioned achieved. Only three players in the history of the MAC were four-time first-team all-conference selections. Bowling Green's Brian McClure became the first when he was named at quarterback from 1982 to '85. Ohio punter Dave Zastudil topped the charts from 1998 to 2001, and Toledo defensive back Barry Church from 2006 to '09. Shannon, a three-time first-team selection at safety, is one more solid season away from joining them.
"It would mean a lot to be in that category and become the fourth player ever to do something like that," Shannon said. "It would mean a lot and I think it would display the type of coaching that I've had, the players that have been around me to help me to be the player that I am today. It's all the coaches and the players that have been around me."
Shannon's a testament to the uncertainties of projecting and recruiting talent. He figured prominently as Jeannette marched to the Pennsylvania state high school championship game his senior season and he also starred in basketball. But while scouts flocked to see that team's quarterback, current Ohio State junior Terrelle Pryor, Shannon went unnoticed by the likes of nearby Pitt and West Virginia and other BCS schools.
"It was a big disappointment seeing all the players I played against and the players I played with -- especially with Terrelle Pryor being the No. 1 recruit in the country -- and seeing the opportunities that he had to play at any school he wanted to," Shannon said. "And I felt I could play at any school, too, but the opportunity wasn't given to me. When I got on the field I just wanted to prove to each team what they missed out on and what kind of player I was."
The impact was profound once Shannon entered the starting lineup four games into his freshman year with the Bulls. His 123 tackles that season set a school Division I-A record, ranked tops among the nation's freshmen.
"I remember coming in as a freshman and I wasn't starting my first few games and my whole mind-set was, 'How can I help the team, whether it was special teams or if I got my chance to start?' " Shannon said. "My sophomore year came as being able to repeat what I did and continue to play at that level. And after that it was just building off your season and being able to see what things I needed to work on each season to get better as a player each year."
As his father said, individual statistics don't mean much to his son. Numbers often depend on the flow of the game, whether opponents come at you or steer away. Shannon's more interested in showing solid leadership, lending support to his younger teammates, doing and saying the things to help an experienced Bulls defense to reach its full potential. There, too, head coach Jeff Quinn pointed out, he already excels.
"He's locked in all the time," Quinn said. "His level of concentration, he's a tight-minded, focused young man. And that's why he's been a three-time all-MAC performer. So it's no surprise to me as a football coach who didn't know Davonte Shannon until I came here to Buffalo, it didn't take me long to realize why he's been so successful on the field. We talk about young men bringing others along. Davonte not only takes care of himself, but he also has the ability to bring others along. And he raises that level of focus and concentration and mental toughness that is so important to having a great defense."
As a high school senior, Shannon wondered why the big schools weren't interested, why he seemed to be overlooked. Heading into his senior season at UB as a three-time all-MAC first-teamer, he can see where what transpired constitutes a blessing.
"If I went to a big school I probably wouldn't have played right away," he said. "I probably would have been starting just my senior year or my junior year or something like that. So I'm just thankful for the opportunity that I had to come in and play right away and be able to contribute to the team and win a championship and hopefully win a championship this year."

what's your opinion of him? I'm looking for a new doctor since Beattyville has no doctors.
"!!Regret Nothing!!"
Since: Nov 08
Owsley County Kentucky
#2 Jun 15, 2009
my grandmother was going to him she said he was very quick to diagnise he never listens to the patient he just walks in look at ur paper and writes a script i have nothing against him i just perfer a doc who listen to what is wrong with a patient
#3 Jun 16, 2009
Dr. Banks is a bigger quack than a 10 foot duck.
#4 Jun 16, 2009
Dr.Banks is the unite dr. and he has no time for regular patients. As said before in -n- out with him and if you toke you will never get pain med's no matter how many clean piss tests you provide. There are better choices.
#5 Jun 16, 2009
Why don't you try some doctors in Jackson, Breathitt?
#6 Jun 16, 2009
Dr. Banks is terrific person. But, I do think he has a short attention span.I think one of the problems with the clinic in Booneville is that the parent agency is too interested in making money and not sufficiently interested in treating sick people. The agency puts constraints on the practice of medicine. The mid-eastern doctors who were here before Dr. Banks were absolutely great doctors. One never forgot a name. If he saw you in Booneville, he called you by your name. He was remarkable.Dr. Banks is a fair doctor...and is improving as he goes. You could try him and form your own opinion.
#7 Jun 16, 2009
I like him myself! My husband goes to him and I take my son to him as well!
#8 Jun 16, 2009
Better choices for health care than an M.D.?? You dope heads is why truely sick people can't get to see some other medical providers...he is an example of what professionals do....they do not contribute to peoples problems they try to solve them. Good Job Dr. Banks!
#9 Jun 16, 2009
I love the Family Practice Clinic. Although, you sometimes have to wait awhile in the lobby the staff are always kind. They always try to make you feel comfortable. Just last week while there, one of them could tell that I wasn't feeling well and asked me if they could fix me some coffee, they did and packed it to me. They also brought my son a pop to drink and gave him stuff to play with while I was being seen. I will wait anyday of the week. For the treatment I receive while visiting there. Oh I was also one of Dr. Hurm's patients and I made the right choice. Besides as high as gas is who would want to drive to Jackson. Besides if you do you get more of those just like Dr. Banks. Thats just not for me.
#10 Jun 16, 2009
I am higly impressed w/ Dr. Banks and the professional services that are provided by him and his staff. We are lucky to have people like him in our community. He is caring, understanding, and respects his patients privacy. He is highly respected by his peers and other health care providers for his professionalism. His "country doctor" approach makes him easy to talk too and he is very knowledgable about medicine and treatments as his profession requires.
#11 Jun 16, 2009
He is very professional, patient friendly and helpful, ethical and has integrity. It is good to have a medical doctor and nurse practioner in the same building who work good together.
#12 Jun 16, 2009
agree and darlene is awesome
#13 Jun 16, 2009
Those posts on this topic have made me so nauseous, now I will have to pick a doctor.
#14 Jun 16, 2009
We all know what kind of person Darlene is.
#15 Jun 18, 2009
be glad we have a dr or an arnp or someone to help around booneville its such a small place and i agree we could use some more help
#16 Jun 20, 2009
If you are seeing Dr Banks to get narcotics you better have proof you have pain.He is not a Dr to just give what you want,he is a good dr if he dont know what is the problem he will send you to a specialist.He will ask you where you want to go,he dont send you to Jackson Dr.'s.He does have a quiet personality he only says what he has to,dont talk much but will help you.
#17 Jun 20, 2009
Ok dont get me started about nurse practitioners,Darlene is nice and easy to talk to,unlike Kim McIntosh she needs to get her mind on her patients and not her cheating husband,I have some family that sees her and have always complained about her and how her staff never get anything done,She was supposed to have a mammogram set up for me and I called for 3 days to get them to set it up,I just started going to Dr Banks he gave me a referrel that day for a mammogram.Nobody wants t wait on something like that especially if you have something wrong,just bad business.If she needs to call your medicine in it takes her forever to call it in.
#18 Jun 20, 2009
I have noticed a trendous amount of change sense the Family Practice opened several years ago. I used to be impressed but now I am depressed.
#19 Jun 20, 2009
I know,thats why I go to Dr.Banks now.Been alot of changes Kim just aint Dr material.
#20 Jun 21, 2009
You people get on here and say all of these things about people and have no idea what you are talking about. I am a patient of Kim's and will always be. Do you know why it took 3 days for her to get you a Mammogram, or your precious drugs. "Because she has 3 times the patients that Dr Banks and that wanna be has." I have watched her staff from the lobby work as hard as they possibly could to keep up due to the supply and demand. There have been days when every chair in the lobby was filled and people were standing along the walls. I have seen Dr. Banks in the past and the lobby was always totally empty and no one was in the exam rooms either. You want to talk about someones marital problems on here. Are you STUPID or just pretend to be. Have you never had marital or family problems, don't throw stones. Haven't you ever been to a specialist and had to wait a month to get a follow-up appointment. I worked in an Dr. Office once a point a time, and I know the stresses which go along with it. So until you walk in their shoes Get a Life!!!!!!

Arts What a Big Dog Is Good For
As Bradley Steinbacher attempted to interview James Ellroy last week about the release of the big-screen version of his book The Black Dahlia, this nugget floated to the top:
ELLROY: One of the things I've come to realize is you've got to get a woman with a dog. I got divorced recently, and I had a deep, dark, obsessive thing with a woman in San Francisco. But I want the new woman, whoever she is, to have a dog.
STEINBACHER: Any type of dog in particular?
ELLROY: A big-ass, good-looking dog. Like an Akita or a pit bull, so when the woman's out of the bed you can curl up with the dog, talk to the dog about the woman.
STEINBACHER Not one of those tiny dogs people carry around?
ELLROY: No. I want a pit. A pit that uses some nigger voice. Says, "Hey Ellroy, let's get some bitches.â A big dog.
The conversation was somewhat surrealSteinbacher couldn't keep Ellroy on topicand the interview didn't make it into the paper, but it's online here.

Boucher predicts "I think we'll do far better than" the 218 votes needed to pass Waxman-Markey, GOP's Walden agrees passage likely
The House of Representatives is on the verge of a historic achievement that seemed unlikely just a few months ago — passage of bipartisan comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation that put the nation on a path to slash greenhouse gas emissions more than 80% in four decades.
One of the key coal-state Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA), yesterday "predicted sponsors would have little trouble crossing the 218-vote threshold," as E&E News PM (subs. req'd) put it. Boucher said, "I think we'll do far better than that."
While Committee Chair Henry Waxman (D-CA0 continues negotiating with other committees, the most problematic being Agriculture chaired by Collin Peterson (D-MN), even Republicans are grudgingly coming around to acknowledging the inevitable. E&E Daily (subs. req'd) reports today:
"My guess is they get to 218," said Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.). "I think they get there because this is such a priority for the Obama administration and the speaker. The leadership in this town is very much behind it. And I've been in the majority. When the leadership is all kind of coalesced around, they twist a few arms here and there to get to their required vote."
And the bill now seems likely to get multiple GOP votes:
Only a handful of Republicans are considered "aye" votes when the legislation hits the floor, including Reps. Mary Bono Mack of California and New Jersey's Frank LoBiondo and Chris Smith. A number of other GOP members remain on the fence….
Any wavering Republicans can also expect to hear from GOP leadership, especially if it looks like there is a chance that the party can defeat the bill on the floor.
"Only"? A few weeks again "any" GOP votes whatsoever would have been considered quite iffy. The GOP leadership hates everything about this bill and doesn't believe in — or even understand — that global warming is the gravest preventable threat to the health and well-being of Americans:
- Hill conservatives reject all 3 climate strategies and embrace Rush Limbaugh
- House GOP pledge to fight all action on climate. "Why do conservatives hate your children?"
- Rep. Barton: Climate change is 'natural,' humans should just 'get shade'
- House GOP leader Boehner on ABC: "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical."
The fact that this bill may get a few GOP votes suggests that
- Many GOP members actually do understand this issue and the urgent need for action — and are willing to buck their leadership on it.
- Members increasingly see that the bill is going to pass and want to be on the right side of this historic and defining issue.
Let's hope the momentum builds because the larger the vote in the House, the more pressure on the Senate and the greater the ability to avoid having the bill weakened in the Senate:
As for the Democrats, there is near universal agreement that they won't begin the floor debate until they know for sure they have the votes — a strategy that House Republicans sometimes used when they were in the majority. "You can't do that with one of the president's signature pieces of legislation," said a former House Democratic lawmaker who served in a leadership position.
Walden predicted that Democratic leaders will secure the necessary votes and then give a pass to a number of their own members who are nervous about the proposal. "They've got a big enough margin they can let the real vulnerables slip," he said.
He added that the larger the majority, the better the chances of prompting action in the Senate. "Any time you roll out of any chamber with a big number, it puts pressure on the other chamber, or it gives relief," Walden said.
Finally, Waxman at least still thinks the floor debate will be the week of June 22: "I still expect it to be before July Fourth." I'd say the betting odds are under 50-50 on that.

Hi all
I found these videos of a lecture of Australian Professor Bob Carter. He is a geologist specializing in palaeoclimatology, stratigraphy, marine geology, and environmental science. It's difficult for me to understand how this serious scientist, with hundreds of peer-reviewed publications can be so adamant about AGW being unproven, and at the same time there are the scientists at realclimate.org that are just as adamant about the contrary.
Then there are politicians like Mr. Gore, who claim that the science is settled, whereas there are clearly scientists in relevant disciplines that are completely unconvinced.
So what is one to do, as a citizen that just wants to be informed?
Thanks for any answers.
Links: Prof. Robert Carter on AGW:
Useful summary of H.R.2454 from Congressman Butterfield's office here:
Having participated in the environmental "lobby" day on Capitol Hill yesterday, I can say that these numbers seem a little too optimistic. Several moderate representatives I talked to were concerned about the agriculture / biomass portions of the bill, and one staffer predicted only four "Yes" votes from Pennsylvania. For reference, there are 19 reps in PA, 12 of which are democrats. Obama / Pelosi need to step up on messaging, as most Reps are far more concerned with healthcare than climate.
[JR: I expect deals will be cut on the Ag side. Frankly, this bill is basically quite good for the Aggies, and many of the things that they want (though not all) are pretty harmless from my perspective. But, yes, right now, the Aggies are taking a hard line because they want concessions. At the end of the day, they will have to ask themselves if they want to take down a signature issue of the speaker and the President, with all that entails for their own ability to get legislation and favors they want over the next few years.]
If it's going to be that easy, maybe they should take out the provisions of the bill that interfere with the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases, and so not count on the Senate to do this.
Giving up any legal power over the coal fired power plants and refineries, at this point, is probably a mistake.
Help. Can you point me to: "provisions of the bill that interfere with the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases"?
I've got the 932 page bill up on Acrobat now.
Bart van Deenen writes:
"So what is one to do, as a citizen that just wants to be informed?"
In any scientific issue that implies political action (evolution, for example) there's going to be dissent among some scientists and a much larger share of the general public. If an average citizen wants to be informed on climate science, the first step is to avoid politically-motivated sources. Scientists who exaggerate their credentials and are associated with right-wing think tanks are usually not reliable sources.
The next step is to look at all qualified scientific opinions. Note the consensus from all major scientific academies and organizations.
One can also look at each climate scientist individually and examine their credentials, opinions, and publications.
…noting there's a strong consensus among individual scientists that increases with expertise:
Then note there are very few studies published in reasonablly-reputable scientific journals that dispute the significant human-induced warming effect.
Of course, scientific consensus is not proof. Another step is to critically examine the arguments of "skeptics" and realize that most of those arguments aren't scientifically valid.
Bart, one should consider Occam's razor in this case:
CO2 is a green house gas; Were pumping tons of the stuff in to the air, increasing concentrations; Its tipping the balance that has existed for thousands of years; Hell & High Water is arriving (look around your!).
@MikeB: I believe that the language you're looking for is in Title VIII, Part C. Title VIII comes after the actual cap and trade program details.
Since, as you have stated previously, that 17% reductions from, what 2005(?) 1990 (?) levels, is so easy what are the chances that the reductions could be increased to 20% again?
I went to the professor's site. The fact that he even includes "The Leipzig Declaration" as proof that there is significant disagreement on AGW among scientists speaks volumes.
Google it and you will find 25 of the supposed 100+signatories were Television News Meteorologists; others were dead, others could not be found. You will also find it was promoted by Fred Singer, a renowned "scientist for hire". For instance: You want proof second hand smoke is no problem, that organic farming is bad for the planet, hire Singer. He also authored one book denying global warming, then a year later, followed it with one saying it happens every 1500 years.
The professor, and other deniers, also cite the many signatories to the Heidleberg Appeal, which is a very short, very vague document which does not mention global warming or climate change. It basically says our actions should be based on science, not ideology.
In general, you will find he never backs up his various claims.
It really doesn't take long to figure out who's blowing smoke.
Bart, two sources to read:
Coby Beck's "How to talk to a skeptic"
And Skeptical Science. Click the links alongside the thermometer graphic on the left.
I'm quite sure Carter's claims will show up there – he's not had an original thought since he decided to misrepresent his bona fides.
Is there some way to place all the denier activity into a parallel column? Still on this page. Just off to the side. The main topic can go on.
Meanwhile, off to the side, the weird ecology of the deniersphere meets reality head on (and doesn't get it).
One has to wonder how much of this endless anti-science and anti-environment is paid for. To gum up the works and worse. The legacy of F Luntz lives on. http://www.ewg.org/node/8684
EPA has control over coal fired power now. They regulate both coarse and fine particulate matter as well as sulfur dioxide.
Can someone help me with a vision of what the United States looks like in 2050 after we reduce greenhouse gas emissions 83% from 2005 levels? Presumably that figure will actually be closer to 90% when population growth is considered. In order to get there, I don't believe any sector can be excluded.
See – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greenhouse_Gas_by_Sector.png
What are we flying, riding and driving in 2050? How are we heating our homes? What have we done about agriculture and livestock emissions? Are we getting all our baseload power from nuclear plants?
Actually, for the sake of discussion, can anyone tell me how we achieve a 17% reduction by 2020, and a 42% reduction by 2030? What sort of lifestyle exists in the United States?

Great cookie! Thanks for sharing.
I made this recipe as posted except for a little extra almond extract. Next time I think I will double the almond extract and add more of the chopped almonds. Thanks for sharing.
We thought these were great! Great flavor. I did use egg white instead of yolk because I was worried about scrambled eggs on top of my cookies and white seemed more sensible.
Great tasting cookies !! Followed recipe as posted with no adjustments. Kids enjoyed them very much. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.
These are wonderful. I did double the Almond Extract because we really like the flavor. The dough was very soft - probably due to our very high humidity in Tampa - to I put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes before shaping into cookies and then also between batches. The cookies took about 15 minutes to bake and are melt-in-your-mouth perfect. Not the rock hard ones we usually get in Chinese restaurants.

Is this expectable, and if so is there a workaround?

The postcranial skeleton of the reptile Gephyrosaurus bridensis is described. The material was extracted from the Lower Jurassic fissure infillings of South Wales and comprises the broken and dissociated bones of many different individuals. The skeleton, like the skull, retains many primitive features which justify the inclusion of Gephyrosaurus within the Eosuchia. A comparison of the skeleton with that of other genera supports the conclusion that Gephyrosaurus represents a separate eosuchian lineage. The skeleton is that of a small, unspecialized terrestrial reptile which could move quickly in pursuit of prey.
