This morning, on the way to work, I nearly had an accident when an oncoming car swerved into and out of my lane. It was one of those moments that leaves you pissed, gasping, and trying to get your sphincter to unclench. And, oddly, the first thing I thought of was a scene from a movie I saw last year which left me feeling the exact same way. So, without any further ado, my belated, only year-in-retrospect list for last year:
1. The scene that I was reminded of this morning was the car crash scene with Chris Cooper in Adaptation. Basically it's shot from a perspective of viewing into the car from outside the driver's side as it is backing out of a driveway with the view of oncoming traffic blocked by a truck. As soon as the truck is cleared, we see the front of the oncoming car and SMASH. It was so unexpected it caused me to sieze up when I first saw it. (Additionally, there is a crash scene later in the film where Nicholas Cage exits the vehicle headfirst through the windshield which is also pretty harsh.)
2. The whole deal with Buck in Kill Bill had me squirming in my seat. Maybe it's just me.
3. Kathy Bates hottub scene in About Schmidt. Do I really need to explain? It's like seeing your mom naked.
Please feel free to add your own.Powered by Sidelines

Until we quite artificially limiting supply its all a farce. Where is my fiber to the premise? why are my uploads still capped? Why can't i watch TV over the internet? Why are we still years behind other nations that don't put preserving corporate residual income off artificially limiting supply ahead of consumer demand and functionality?
I'm glad someone is getting rich off my needs
For i could reach a much bigger audience, generate more revenue and broaden my services if other companies weren't out there artificially limiting my capacity to do so.

Everyday Grilling: 50 Recipes from Appetizers to Desserts by Sur La Table includes recipes like Grilled Eggplant Cannelloni with Ricotta and Prosciutto; Grilled Country Pork Chops with Bourbon-Basted Grilled Peaches; and Tamari-Glazed Halibut with Chopped Mango, Ginger, and Sweet Onion Salad.
Serves 4
This versatile recipe can be used to prepare almost any variety of fish. Steaks work best because of their uniform thickness, so try tuna, mahi mahi, salmon, or escolar. The salad is just as versatile. Try papaya, peach, or nectarine in place of the mango; red onion or green onion for the sweet onion; or basil for the cilantro. Tamari is a bit thicker and has a milder taste than soy sauce, so it makes a better glaze. But in a pinch, soy sauce may be substituted. Accompany the halibut with basmati, sushi, or other fragrant rice.
Chopped Mango, Ginger, and Sweet Onion Salad
1. In a small bowl, whisk the tamari, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic until blended. Place the halibut steaks in a single layer on a large plate and brush with half of the glaze. Turn the steaks and brush with the remaining glaze. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the salad.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic, and stir until blended. Add the mango, onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, and chile. Using a rubber spatula, fold gently until well blended. Set aside until serving.
3. Prepare a medium-high charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high (400 degrees F). Cook the halibut for 3 minutes, adjusting the heat back to medium after 1 minute. Use a wide, flexible spatula to turn the fish over. Cook for 3 minutes more, or until the fish is almost firm to the touch, or until the center is opaque, rather than translucent, when tested with the tip of a small knife.
4. Transfer the stea ks to a serving platter, top each steak with an equal amount of the salad, and serve.

Immigration reform will never happen until the people speak louder and vote all of the current congress out one by one. This congress like others before it do as they please according to where the money is coming from. This administration wants more and more illegals in the US for future votes. American citizens are paying for every illegal in this country, weather it's free healthcare,, welfare, food stamps, education, housing, etc. It's all being paid for through tax dollars. Americans need to wise up.
Paul Ryan talks about how he's selling out on amnesty
Paul Ryan is considered by those in Washington to be one of the brightest guys around. We accepted that view when Mitt Romney picked him for VP. We should have known better, we've been watching Washington for a long time.
Today, in an interview on Satan's network, MSNBC, Ryan proved everybody wrong. Turns out Paul Ryan is dumb as a box of rocks and fits perfectly into the old adage, "There's one born every minute." I'll get this out of the way right now, Paul Ryan is a shameful fool and should be banished to Venezuela, just listen to this crap.
A probationary pathway to legalization with a law written in a way that the administration can't get around enforcing it. That is the absolutely stupidest statement that has ever come out of the mouth of a Republican, and we think that Rep. Ryan may actually believe that pile of horse pucky he just left in our house.
"We have to make sure this is not 'amnesty'."
"We feel very strongly about securing the border."
We live in Arizona, we're on the front line of the administration's unwillingness to enforce immigration law and the Congress' unwillingness to force the administration to enforce immigration law.
Rep. Ryan, your statements are absolute, utter bullshit. [If that's offensive to you, come to Phoenix, we'll take you to the border. You'll see what "offensive" really is.]
This policy is clearly amnesty and the border will not be secured. You and the spineless Democrats and especially Republican "moderates" who are bought and paid for by the Chamber of Commerce don't want the border secured. If you did, you'd have been raising hell since any of the previous immigration bills were passed ALL of which required the border to be secured.
Our US Senator, the man without a soul, John McCain, stood at the border in 2010 in a campaign commercial with a Sheriff who deal with illegals every day and said "Build the dang fence." He got reelected – and that was never in question in 2010 – and has been true to form, he's done absolutely nothing about securing the border since that commercial.
The idea that the administration will enforce any immigration law that reduces the influx of illegal Mexicans who can't speak English – and who refuse to learn English – and who have no education or worthwhile job skills is ridiculous. This is the same administration that the people who are charged with enforcing immigration law constantly beg the Congress to stand up to. The administration refuses to enforce the law and Congress refuses to even try to hold them accountable.
This is the administration who, by executive order, broke existing immigration law with the declaration that "Dreamers", the children of illegal aliens who were brought here by their parents, are not only exempt from the law but have a "special pathway" to citizenship.
This is the administration whose leader stood before the Congress just two days ago and told them if they wouldn't act on his agenda he "has a pen".
These are the House members who have refused to press the administration to follow the law in dozens of instances where they have simply rewritten legislation the Imperial President didn't like or just refused to enforce black letter law.
Now all of a sudden this same bunch of dolts is trying to sell us on the idea that they're going to write a law that Obama and Holder can't get around. They're going to allow 15 million plus illegal aliens to have legal status in the US with some meaningless conditions that will never be enforced, and that's a position that has been consistently driven by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and their unions. They've been told not to enforce current law and the Congress – that cares so much about border security – won't even give them a hearing.
Rep. Ryan, Speaker Boehner, any Republican who supports this God forsaken piece of legislation, on behalf of the besieged people of Arizona (and John McCain is a resident of Washington DC, he shows up here to campaign every six years) you can all go directly to Hell.
It's time to man the phones and blow up – metaphorically of course, we're not Bill Ayers – your Representative's phone with a demand that this trash dies in the House. It's amnesty, pure and simple.

I spent some time in the UK a couple years ago, Immigration there is strictly enforced. Had a friend coming over that was refused entry because he didn't fill out the immigration card completely and didn't know the address where he would be staying. America needs to take the same stance as other countries do on immigration. The tax payers here cannot be paying to support the entire immigrant population.
The only thing broken in our immigration laws is the unwillingness of the DOj, and the presdent and congress and the senate to enforce the laws we have, we are being invaded by illegals and america is fast becoming we do not reconize anymore, They won't secure the border and they will give amnesty to every law breaker who crosses into our nation. And we are stuck paying their way, It didn't work the last two times and the Meican border has seen an 100% increase in them sneaking in and out border parol can't do a damn thing because they were given order to leave them alone.
On emigration two points
First, as an engineer I have been working more and more with
Pakistanis, Indians, and Bangladeshis, who subcontract for huge corporations,
Siemens, AECOM, Arinc… The Zucermans', Buffets' and ultra billionaire CEOs want
these guys on the payroll bad. It is one
thing for a drywall hanger being paid $15 an hour vs a naïve born needing $30
to pay the bills, quite another for a $70k a year engineer working for
$40k. This wave of immigration is going
to come on airliners and be white collar, and the low skill blue collar ones
will become a title wave.
Second, they will be exempt from ObamaCare. Employers will not have to worry about their
health care, a huge incentive to higher them over native born Americans.
There is already two classes of workers in America, one that is exempt from
the law and the other paying the taxes and towing the line. In Garland,
TX get caught without a seat belt
on, $200 fine. Have the back of a pick
up loaded with illegal workers, nothing.
Cops will not even bother, they will just give false names and
addresses. That is one very small
example. These turn coats in the
Republican legislature do this and it will "fundamentally transform" America for
good. We the native born will be at the
back of the line.
Sell out, do you mop the floor first or stop the toilet from over flowing? From a 30 years service vet who in yours eyes needs to give more. Thanks for the cut in my military retirement you hack!
"Immigration Reform" loaded phrase. I say we no longer need immigration.
You are dead right, there is no need for further immigration at a time when our ecnomy is in a shambles. I look forward to the day when these imposters resign or are booted from office. Then they will lose their Secret Service, and police protection, making them fair game.
There is NO difference. They are all commie traitors. There is only one solution. And it isn't the fraudulent ballot box.

Fountain boots Rams from 3A postseason
October 25, 2013
CARBONDALE — The big stage was set, hometown fans and all, but the lights might have been just a bit too bright for the host Roaring Fork High School boys in the opening round of the Class 3A state soccer playoffs Friday night.
The Rams, entering the 32-team tournament as the No. 8 seed and hosting the opening round games in Carbondale, lost a hard-fought game 1-0 to 25th seed Fountain Valley to end their season at 11-3-2 overall.
The Danes (9-6-1) of Fountain Valley advance to today's second round against Faith Christian, 5-2 winners over Telluride in the other first-round game in Carbondale Friday.
"We played hard, but I think we got a little phased by the big occasion, with it being the first time we hosted a playoff and having all our fans here," said first-year Rams' coach Nick Forbes. "We just played a little out of our heads tonight."
Slack marking by the Rams defense on a Fountain Valley indirect kick at the end of the first half led to the one and only goal of the night, when Danes sophomore Manolo Jiminez found the corner of the net on a rebound.
"We didn't mark up as well as we should have, and let their guy free," Forbes said. "The whole team has had some defensive discipline issues, and it came back to haunt us when we needed it most."
Roaring Fork controlled the ball for much of the game, although the teams appeared evenly matched in the backfield. The Rams had 15 shots on goal to Fountain Valley's eight. Danes' goal keeper Griffin Shelor had five saves, while Roaring Fork keeper Alex Fisher stopped three.
Several scoring opportunities for the Rams in the second half sailed high, including an indirect shot by senior Ben Carpenter in the 63rd minute of play following a penalty on Shelor for an illegal pick-up by the goalie.
Rams junior Lalo Clemente also had a couple of chances on breakaways earlier in the second half, but failed to get the shot off in time.
"We just took too long to shoot on some of those," Forbes said.
"It was a good season, and it's always a bummer to go out this way," he said. "It's a bitter pill to swallow."
Senior Zach Ritchie said the team "kind of gave up" after the goal to end the first half.
"It didn't seem like we really wanted it bad enough, and we weren't playing to our feet," he said. "We're better than that."
Still, "It was a great season," Ritchie said. "I couldn't have asked for a better team."
Fountain Valley coach Byron Dacy credited the host team, and said the Rams deserved the eighth seeding.
"They have lightning speed up front that gave us some problems," Dacy said. "They definitely had their opportunities, and we took our one good opportunity and converted it."
Today's game between Fountain Valley and Faith Christian will be at 1 p.m. at the Rams stadium, located next to the Carbondale Middle School.

Work permit
Work permit for employees
Foreign workers who wish to work in Belgium as employees (i.e. working under an employment contract) must hold a work permit. This does not apply to nationals of the Member States of the European Economic Area or Swiss nationals.
There are three different types of work permit:
- Work permit type A, which is valid for all salaried professions and all employers, for an unlimited period;
- Work permit type B, which is only valid for one employer for a period of one year;
- Work permit type C, which is valid for all salaried professions and all employers, for a limited period (must be renewed each year).
For more information on work permits, see the website of the FPS (in French or Dutch).
Applying for a work permit
People applying for work permits must do so using the forms available from the regional employment agencies.
More information on applying for a work permit:
Students, interns and au pairs
Foreign students (i.e. not from the European Economic Area) (more info in French or in Dutch) wishing to work in Belgium usually need to have a work permit. The same applies to au pairs (more info in French or in Dutch) and interns (more info in French or in Dutch).
New Member States
Special rules apply to the new Member States of the European Union. For a certain transitional period, free movement of workers from these countries is subject to some restrictions.
However, there are more flexible provisions for workers planning to exercise a profession for which there is a shortage of qualified staff:
- List of such professions for Flanders (nl)
- List of such professions for Wallonia (fr)
- List of such professions for Brussels (fr)
- List of such professions for the German-speaking Community (de)
You can find more information on transitional rules in Belgium on the site of the FPS Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue (in French or Dutch).

Maryanne Dell: Breast cancer in dogs
"The risk of developing mammary gland tumors in dogs is significantly decreased by ovariohysterectomy at an early age."
This statement, from a study in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, says with big words what I've known for a long time: Dogs spayed at a young age have a far less likely chance of developing breast cancer than dogs that are spayed later in life or not at all.
This isn't ground-breaking news. In fact, it's pretty common in the veterinary field. It's one of the reasons vets encourage their clients to spay their female dogs (the other being, of course, to limit the number of unwanted dogs in the world, many of whom sadly end up at shelters where they await uncertain fates).
But I don't know how well-known this simple fact is. And while it's true that "tumor" does not mean "cancer," it's also true that cancer is far more likely to occur in a dog that hasn't been spayed than in one that has. As I said, I knew this, but when my dog's oncologist and I discussed the issue a few months ago, she reminded me of how true this is.
I wonder about how many people are aware of this because a friend of mine whose dog recently had her second surgery for breast cancer told me she had no idea of the connection until I said something. This is a very smart woman who reads a lot and doesn't blindly go into her vet's office saying, "Just do whatever; I don't want to know the details."
I've long been a proponent of spaying and neutering, as anyone who knows me or who has read my columns through the years knows. Early on in my rescue career, I realized that preventing unwanted puppies just might be the No. 1 way to lessen the number of animals who die in our shelters. And my frustration with people who don't perform this relatively simple surgery because they're too lazy or it costs too much (more on that in a minute) or they want to have puppies that are just like their dogs hasn't dissipated over the years.
And here comes another reason to be concerned. It isn't simply a matter of making sure your dog doesn't get pregnant, or having her wear panties (yes, there are "feminine products" for dogs) or pulling her from dog sporting events if she's in heat. It's yet another matter of life and death.
I've been staring that life-or-death issue in the face since October.
In September, I took in a blind, 7-year-old, female Peke. Sandy was cute as a bug and sweet as can be.
But she cried whenever someone picked her up. I wasn't sure if she was in pain or just scared, but when I looked at her chest, I knew it wasn't fear.
She had a quarter-sized scab on her chest. We watched it for a couple of days, and it didn't shrink. I took her to my vet. Sandy wasn't spayed, and we arranged for him to take care of that and also look at whatever was in her chest. Something was going on; the area around the scab was hard and definitely causing her pain.
He called me halfway through her surgery. "This thing is big, and it's nasty. I don't like the way it looks," he told me. He said he would do his best to get as much of the growth as he could, but it was so invasive he wasn't sure he could get it all. He would send samples of the tissue to be biopsied by an expert, who would explain what type of cells they were.
They were bad cells. Sandy has what's called tubular adenocarcinoma. Tubular refers to the types of cells involved in the cancer; adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer. When her oncologist and I met, we bemoaned the ignorance that had led this poor little girl down this path.
She likely was a bit older than 7, my oncologist said – probably more like 10, even 11. That meant she had developed the cancer at a more normal life stage. That's neither here nor there, really, but it makes me feel a little better than if she'd been younger. At least she had had a chance to live more life before this disease got her.
But before you think I'm getting maudlin, let's remember how dogs deal with things like cancer. They do not deal with it like humans do. They don't cry about the fact that they've lost part of their bodies. Nor do they tend to get really sick after chemotherapy like people.
Dogs don't know they have cancer. They don't worry about what chemo is going to do to them. They might not enjoy all that poking and prodding, and some nausea can occur as a result of chemo, but overall they handle it quite well.
The canines I meet at Veterinary Cancer Group, where Sandy is being treated, are happy and eager to meet new human and canine friends. Their owners may have worried looks on their faces, but the dogs are almost always smiling.
Still, just because they deal with disease better than we do doesn't mean we should let it happen.
Sandy has had four chemo treatments, and overall she has handled them pretty well. It hasn't been all flowers, but because our treatment goal is keeping her comfortable for as long as possible, my oncologist has adjusted drug levels and treatments to accommodate her body's reactions.
And whenever she hears my voice, her wagging tail reminds me why I'm treating her.
She may have been a dog in need of a new home, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't take care of her needs.
If I had the chance to go back in Sandy's life and spay her at an early age, I would. Because if we know we can prevent a disease like cancer, we should do it.

The Rickshaw Run is mad dash across India where just making it to the finish line is an achievement. Put on by the clearly crazy individuals at The Adventurists — whose motto is to make the world less boring — it's basically done on a tricycle with a lawnmower engine.
At the beginning of September, dozens of teams from around the world piled into the overgrown go-karts for the 3,500km trip from Shillong to Jaisalmer – and almost all of them finished. Matt Dickens, on-the-scene operator for The Adventurists, hears about everything that goes right – and everything that goes awry. Here are some highlights.
Riding High
"The Rickshaw Run isn't a race – there's isn't a course, just a destination! We don't know which team traveled the furthest because none of the odometers work, but we do know who got the highest — literally. One team crossed into Nepal, and topped out at about 2,488m. The best part, they said, was going down – we can only imagine!"
Your trusty steed
"The rickshaws go about 60 kmh. The engine is only about 7 horsepower, just under 150cc. You've got to pull the clutch in to shift, that's one more thing that can break. Engines have been known to catch on fire while moving along at 60km/h. The eight-liter tank has to be refilled basically every day. It's two stroke, so you have to mix oil in with the petrol. You can get about 150k on a full tank – they're very economical until they break down or you smash into something!"
The best repair this run
It involved the handle of a cricket bat, and held up for 40km. Your best bet? Get help! "India is chock-full of terrible mechanics – but there's a few of the best mechanics in the world," says Dickens. "I've seen a ten-year-old boy hop in the rickshaw with nothing but a teaspoon and have it purring sweeter than a kitten!"
Dealing with Delhi Belly
"It's pretty much guaranteed – something's not going to sit right with your digestive system. One chap spent 27 hours on the toilet before being able to move on – he was really dehydrated." Of course, it gets worse. "One team pulled up in this village and were invited to be guests, for a special feast. The villagers brought a plate full of grubs and maggots. They put on the polite game face, ate the grubs… and as soon as they got through them, the locals brought out another one!"
Battling Bandits
The big story this race? Actual bandits with actual guns who actually stole everything one team had. They had to drop out of the event, and head to Delhi to get their passports replaced. Another team was luckier – they were approached by would-be bandits with sticks – but the rickshaw-running Kiwis happened to have machetes, and chased them off quite quickly!
There are panty-snatchers…
But don't worry, it's not your fellow travelers (we'd hope) – it's the local wildlife. One team walked into a hotel room, and found a monkey digging through the luggage. They chased the cheeky chimp off with a sword — these clearly being essential bits of kit for anyone taking part — but what did monkey make off with? Plenty of underwear.
Accidents happen.
And we're not talking about Delhi Belly (although those accidents happen, too – just hopefully not at dinner.) One team crashed their rickshaw into a steamroller before the race even started. Says Matt: "The fellow fractured his wrist! They put a cast on him, and he managed to do the run!"
Little rig, big kids
"One team of two included a fellow of about 200cm and over 125kg – and his teammate wasn't much smaller. Together, they weighed more than the rickshaw!"
Oh yeah, the party…
"There's no better way to wrap up a proper adventure than with a little tipple… and by tipple, we mean about 1,500 beers – that's the amount consumed at this year's finish line party. Good thing no one had to travel the next day."

They say once you have a chip in the big game you've made your safety
Nor do you have enough to be deemed a threat but nor do you have so little to be burned
Instead you're set with their respect along with a sense of power and confidence but yet it is humbling
You then realize with no respect power is non-existent and one would be nothing more than the turf that is treaded upon
Though with true power there is no such thing as true friends

This paper reviews the empirical methodology that underlies those estimates. Various critical aspects of the analytical approach are highlighted, focusing in particular on deficiencies in the use of mirror trade statistics to quantify the extent of capital outflows due to trade misinvoicing. Serious issues in the empirical analysis include, among others, arbitrary assumptions, mixed methodologies and skewed sampling. As a result, it is argued that the quantitative results obtained from those exercises have no substantive meaning. The trillion-dollar estimate of illicit financial flows from developing countries, therefore, lacks evidence and is uncorroborated. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Determinants of ICT infrastructure: A cross-country statistical analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10419/147296 Title: Determinants of ICT infrastructure: A cross-country statistical analysis Authors: Krüger, Jens J.; Rhiel, Mathias Abstract: We investigate economic and institutional determinants of ICT infrastructure for a broad cross section ofmore than 100 countries. The ICT variable is constructed from a principal components analysis. The explanatory variables are selected by variants of the Lasso estimator from the machine learning literature.In addition to least squares, we also apply robust and semiparametric regression estimators. The results show that the regressions are able to explain ICT infrastructure very well. Major determinants identified are real income per capita, the availability of electricity, the extent of urbanization and indicators for the quality of the institutional environment. We also find evidence of conditional convergence of the ICT infrastructure across countries. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Direct targeting of efficient DMUs for benchmarking http://hdl.handle.net/10419/147297 Title: Direct targeting of efficient DMUs for benchmarking Authors: Krüger, Jens J. Abstract: We propose a two-stage procedure for finding realistic benchmarks for nonparametric efficiency analysis. On the first stage the efficient DMUs are figured out by a free disposal hull approach. These benchmarks are directly targeted by directional distance functions and the extent of inefficiency is measured along the direction towards an existing DMU. Two variants for finding the closest or the furthest benchmark are proposed. With this approach there is no need to use linear combinations of existing DMUs as benchmarks which may not be achievable in reality and also no need to accept slacks which are not reflected by the efficiency measure. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Estimating the materials balance condition: A stochastic frontier approach http://hdl.handle.net/10419/137590 Title: Estimating the materials balance condition: A stochastic frontier approach Authors: Hampf, Benjamin Abstract: In this paper we propose a stochastic formulation of the materials balance condition which imposes physical constraints on production technologies. The estimation of the model involves a composed error term structure that is commonly applied in the literature on stochastic frontier analysis of productive efficiency. Moreover, we discuss how OLS, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods can be used to estimate the proposed model. In contrast to previous approaches our model allows to estimate the physical limitations to production possibilities in the presence of statistical noise and depends on substantially weaker data requirements. We demonstrate the applicability of our new approach by estimating the materials balance condition for SO2 and CO2 using a sample of fossil-fueled power plants in the United States. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Skip to comments.Debate Erupts Anew: Did Thera's Explosion Doom Minoan Crete?
Posted on 10/23/2003 2:47:33 PM PDT by blam
Debate erupts anew: Did Thera's explosion doom Minoan Crete?
William J. Broad
Thursday, October 23, 2003
For decades, scholars have debated whether the eruption of the Thera volcano in the Aegean more than 3,000 years ago brought about the mysterious collapse of Minoan civilization at the peak of its glory. The volcanic isle (whose remnants are known as Santorini) lay just 110 kilometers from Minoan Crete, so it seemed quite reasonable that its fury could have accounted for the fall of that celebrated people.
. This idea suffered a blow in 1987 when Danish scientists studying cores from the Greenland ice cap reported evidence that Thera exploded in 1645 B.C., some 150 years before the usually accepted date. That put so much time between the natural disaster and the Minoan decline that the linkage came to be widely doubted, seeming far-fetched at best.
. Now, scientists at Columbia University, the University of Hawaii and other institutions are renewing the proposed connection.
. New findings, they say, show that Thera's upheaval was far more violent than was previously calculated (many times larger than the 1883 Krakatoa eruption, which killed more than 36,000 people). They say the blast's cultural repercussions were equally large, rippling across the eastern Mediterranean for decades and perhaps centuries.
. "It had to have had a huge impact," said Floyd McCoy, a geologist at the University of Hawaii who has studied the eruption for decades and recently proposed that it was much more violent than had been previously thought.
. The scientists say Thera's outburst produced deadly waves and dense clouds of volcanic ash over a vast region, crippling ancient cities and fleets, setting off climate changes, ruining crops and sowing wide political unrest. For Minoan Crete, the scientists see direct and indirect consequences. McCoy discovered that towering waves from the eruption that hit Crete were up to 15 meters high, about 50 feet, smashing ports and fleets and severely damaging the maritime economy.
. Other scientists found indirect, long-term damage. Ash and global cooling from the volcanic pall caused wide crop failures in the eastern Mediterranean, they said, and the agricultural woes in turn set off political upheavals that undid Minoan friends and trade.
. "Imagine island states without links to the outside world," William Ryan, a geologist at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, told a meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
. Scientists who link Thera to the Minoan decline say the evidence is still emerging and in some cases sketchy. Even so, they say it is already compelling enough to have convinced many archaeologists, geologists and historians that the repercussions probably amounted to a death blow for Minoan Crete.
. Rich and sensual, sophisticated and artistic, Minoan culture flourished in the Bronze Age between roughly 3,000 and 1,400 B.C., the first high civilization of Europe. It developed an early form of writing and used maritime skill to found colonies and a trade empire.
. The British archaeologist Arthur Evans called the civilization Minoan, after Minos, the legendary king. His unearthed palace was huge and intricate, and had clearly been weakened by upheavals, including fire and earthquakes. Nearby on the volcanic island of Thera, or Santorini, archaeologists dug up Minoan buildings, artifacts and a whole city, Akrotiri, buried under volcanic ash, like Pompeii. Some of its beautifully preserved frescoes depicted Egyptian motifs and animals, suggesting significant contact between the two peoples.
. In 1939, Spyridon Marinatos, a Greek archaeologist, proposed that the eruption wrecked Minoan culture on Thera and Crete. He envisioned the damage as done by associated earthquakes and tsunamis. While geologists found tsunamis credible, they doubted the destructive power of Thera's earthquakes, saying volcanic ones tend to be relatively mild. The debate simmered for decades.
. In the mid-1960's, scientists dredging up ooze from the bottom of the Mediterranean began to notice a thick layer of ash that they linked to Thera's eruption. They tracked it over thousands of square miles. McCoy of the University of Hawaii, then at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, took part in these discoveries, starting a lifelong interest in Thera. By the early 1980's, he was publishing papers on the ash distribution.
. Such clues helped geologists estimate the amount of material Thera spewed into the sky and the height of its eruption cloud - main factors in the Volcanic Explosivity Index. Its scale goes from zero to eight and is logarithmic, so each unit represents a tenfold increase in explosive power. Thera was given a VEI of 6.0, on a par with Krakatoa in 1883.
. The similarity to Krakatoa, which lies between Sumatra and Java, helped experts better envision Thera's wrath. Despite the power of Thera, the Danish scientists' evidence raised doubts about its links to the Minoan decline. Their date for Thera's explosion, 1645 B.C., based on frozen ash in Greenland, is some 150 years earlier than the usual date. Given that the Minoan fall was usually dated to 1450 B.C., the gap between cause and effect seemed too large.
. Another blow landed in 1989 when scholars on Crete found, above a Thera ash layer, a house that had been substantially rebuilt in the Minoan style. It suggested at least partial cultural survival.
. By 1996, experts like Jeremy Rutter, head of classics at Dartmouth, judged the chronological gap too extreme for any linkage. "No direct correlation can be established" between the volcano and the Minoan decline, he concluded.
. Amid doubts about the tie, scientists kept finding more evidence suggesting that Thera's eruption had been unusually violent and disruptive over wide areas. Scientific maps drawn in the 1960's and 1970's showed its ash as falling mostly over nearby waters and Aegean islands. By the 1990's, however, affected areas had mushroomed to include lands of the eastern Mediterranean from Anatolia to Egypt. Scientists found ash from Thera at the bottom of the Black Sea and Nile delta.
. Peter Kuniholm, an expert at Cornell on using tree rings to establish dates, found ancient trees in a burial mound in Anatolia, what now is in the Asian part of Turkey. For half a decade those trees had grown three times as fast as normal - apparently because Thera's volcanic pall turned hot, dry summers into seasons that were unusually cool and wet.
. More intrigued than ever, McCoy of the University of Hawaii two years ago stumbled on more evidence suggesting that Thera's ash fall had been unusually wide and heavy. During a field trip to Anafi, an island some 20 miles east of Thera, he found to his delight that the authorities had just cut fresh roads that exposed layers of Thera ash up to 10 feet thick - a surprising amount that distance from the eruption. And Greek colleagues showed him new seabed samples taken off the Greek mainland, suggesting that more ash blew westward than scientists had realized.
. Factoring in such evidence, McCoy calculated that Thera had a VEI of 7.0 - what geologists call colossal and exceedingly rare. In the past 10,000 years only one other volcano has exploded with that kind of gargantuan violence: Tambora, in Indonesia, in 1816, It produced an ash cloud in the upper atmosphere that reflected sunlight back into space and produced the year without a summer. The cold led to ruinous harvests, hunger and even famine in the United States, Europe and Russia.
. "I presented this evidence last summer at a meeting," McCoy recalled, "and the comment from the other volcanologists was, 'Hey, it was probably larger than Tambora.'"
. In scholarly articles, Jan Driessen, an archaeologist at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, and Colin MacDonald, an archaeologist at the British School in Athens, Greece, have argued that changes to Cretan architecture, storage, food production, artistic output and the distribution of riches imply major social dislocations, and perhaps civil war.
. By 1450 B.C., Mycenaean invaders from mainland Greece seized control of Crete, ending the Minoan era.
. Thera's destructiveness was probably the catalyst, Driessen and MacDonald wrote, "that culminated in Crete being absorbed to a greater or lesser extent into the Mycenaean, and therefore, the Greek world."
I'm not sure if it's the same Joseph Alsop who wrote the political column with his brother back in the 50s . . . certainly it's well written and with an immediacy of description that might indicate the journalist.
I read (somewhere?) that charred grain had been found above this ash layer and under the collapsed walls of Jerico. The charred grain dated within the 1628BC time frame. The accepted date(s) for the Exodus will have to be changed.
What does + or - mean? That they don't know if it was March or October?
A plume 158,000 ft. (30 miles) high could only have been seen in northernmost Egypt, and nowhere else along the eastern Mediterranian coast. The equation is: square root of the altitude in feet times 1.23 equals the distance to the horizon in nautical miles.
It wouldn't have stayed up there very long, either; 30 miles up is a pretty good vacuum. So I doubt it 'led' Moses and the Hebrews anywhere... or if it did, God must have been pissed off at them for not heading for Thera.
Probably the plume left a big impression all around the Aegean that later got incorporated into the Exodus story as 'staff and torch'.
The grain and the 1628BC ash layer were both under the collapsed wall. The 1450BC date for Exodus is based on the Egyptian Kings List...and more and more researchers are finding that the list is flawed.
More like years. The cooling that would have affected the trees worldwide took some time after the initial event. (Frankly, I forgot the details and I have that book, Exodus To Arthur, that contains the details, loaned out)
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this ping list.

And you won't miss a thread on FR because e-bot will keep you informed.
This was what caused Minoan civilization to decline. I do know there was some similarities between Mycenaean writing and Cretan. I have long forgotten the nuances of Linear A, B etc.
Remember this map that shows the ocean level during the Ice Age? Well, it shows the Red Sea as an isolated body of water and this event (Thera) may have 'reconnected' the dessicated Red Sea to the world's oceans.
BTW, During the Ice Age, the Nile Valley would have looked like the Grand Canyon, a river vally 300-500ft lower than today.
Oh, you're saying that the wall fell 178 years after the ash and the grain was charred?
It's been a while since I read the article about the grain but, if I remember correctly, they placed the collapsed wall and the charred grain at the same time and implied a 'sacked' city.
I once thought this too. I've come to believe that Atlantis was far, far in the past, maybe, 9-12,000 years ago...at the beginning of the end of the Ice Age. If it was Akatori, we'd know a lot more about it, huh? Remember, the Atlantis story originated with an Egyptian high priest, not the Greeks.
It wouldn't have stayed up there very long, either; 30 miles up is a pretty good vacuum. So I doubt it 'led' Moses and the Hebrews anywhere... or if it did, God must have been pissed off at them for not heading for Thera.
I read a theory a few years back that asserted the crossing of the Red Sea by the Hebrews was actually nearer the mouth of the Nile in an area called the "Reed Sea" which was more of a marsh and only a couple feet deep in some parts, but also much wider. It is based on a theory that the original Hebrew was misinterpreted and mistranslated (Of course, the similarities of "Red" and "Reed" are apparent in ENGLISH...what about Hebrew?).
This of course would all jibe with the Thera theory. If the plume did reach at least 30 miles (or higher, who knows?) it could have been seen by the Hebrews near the Nile Delta and might have appeared as a smokey staff by day and a torch by nite. If it continued to erupt and spew for several days or weeks, the light could have been reflected off the smoke particles forming the plume to a significant height.
One other issue that supports this theory is the Exodus story relating to how the Pharoahs men and chariots were caught in the rising sea. The popular locations of this at the Red Sea are fairly narrow and would have allowed them time to retreat safely to the shore, even if the were forced to abandon their chariots. If it happened near the "Reed Sea" at the Delta, it could have been tens of miles wide. As the Hebrews were exiting the east side the Pharoahs men could have been nearer the middle and would not have time to exit prior to being swamped.
One other note. The actual falling and rising of the Red Sea is a matter of contention. However, the Thera theory might explain this. As the initial tsunami hit the coast and then retreated, it would have drawn the water out of the Delta. There is an effect called "the Washbasin" where the water advances, retreats and advances again. With the "Reed Sea" so shallow , it would not have been unreasonable to see it drop to a level navigable on foot. As the washbasin effect takes place (or a secondary explosion at Thera that produced a second tsunami), the water would fill up again to a greater depth than normal, trapping the Pharoahs forces and drowning them.
Sorry if this is a known theory, I'm just an interested amatuer.
An Exodus date of 1440 BC lines up with 1 Kings 6:1 which says that the temple was begun 480 years after the Exodus. Many anti-Biblical "scholars" try to disprove this by pointing to either a 17th century or 13th century date. However, 15th century seems to proven again and again...even in the article you posted. All the best.
BTW, I've been to the Palace of Knossos on Crete. Beautiful place. If the waves had been 50 feet high then they would have almost made it to the front gate!.
Further, I was always taught that Thera was the origin of the Atlantis myth. Plato got everything right EXCEPT for the location of the island. Its an interesting argument, but it really pains me to think Plato could be wrong ...
It has been documented that Plato (+- 400 BC) got the original Atlantis concept from a relative who referenced stories passed down from Solon, who heard it in Egypt (+- 600 BC) where he studied. It is possible the original Egyptian story involved an island civilization beyond the mouth of the Nile (since the Egyptians had never sailed to the Atlantic), and then Plato sexed it up to the "Pillars of Hercules" since he was writing to Greek audience.
Since it has been proven that there was significant contact between the Minoans and Egypt, the theory while unproven, is still quite interesting.
I wonder where the Egyptians got the cocaine and nicotine then?
