A memorable coming-of-age story and love story, laced with suspense, which explores a hidden side of the home front during World War II, when German POWs were put to work in a Wisconsin farm community . . . with dark and unexpected consequences.
The war has taken a toll on the Christiansen family. With food rationed and money scarce, Charlotte struggles to keep her family well fed. Her teenage daughter, Kate, raises rabbits to earn money for college and dreams of becoming a writer. Her husband, Thomas, struggles to keep the farm going while their son, and most of the other local men, are fighting in Europe.
When their upcoming cherry harvest is threatened, strong-willed Charlotte helps persuade local authorities to allow German war prisoners from a nearby camp to pick the fruit.
But when Thomas befriends one of the prisoners, a teacher named Karl, and invites him to tutor Kate, the implications of Charlotte's decision become apparent—especially when she finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Karl. So busy are they with the prisoners that Charlotte and Thomas fail to see that Kate is becoming a young woman, with dreams and temptations of her own—including a secret romance with the son of a wealthy, war-profiteering senator. And when their beloved Ben returns home, bitter and injured, bearing an intense hatred of Germans, Charlotte's secrets threaten to explode their world.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
A large-headed, brightly coloured fruit-eating bird that has a stout bill with tufts of bristles at the base. Barbets are found on all continents, especially in the tropics.
- ''We feed the birds in our garden and have enjoyed seeing several parents feeding their young - among them bulbuls, barbets, mousebirds and weavers,' she says.'
- 'Lovebirds, barbets, tits and finches warm themselves in the cozy chambers built by the weavers.'
- 'The green hills are a-quiver with babblers, bushchats, bulbuls, barbets, crow pheasants, and the laughing thrush of the Palni hills.'
- 'Flying in the lower level of trees are the colorful Muller's barbet, and the Formosan bulbul, both of which are endemic to Taiwan.'
- 'Look at the coppersmith, or the crimson breasted barbet.'
Late 16th century (denoting a poodle): from French, from barbe 'beard' (see barb). The current sense dates from the early 19th century.

So what exactly will be going on while Angelenos are stuck in a sea of traffic or waiting patiently at home? First of all, the process won't be a spectacle, Metro insists. It will involve no explosives -- rather, the demolition will be performed by giant jack hammers "nibbling away at the structure."
You can view a live feed here, or see below for a detailed schedule of the demolition:
Friday, July 15 at 7 p.m.: Caltrans and city crews will begin closing off freeway ramps and nearby surface streets. Metro says that the construction area will be lit up "like the Astrodome."
Friday, July 15 at midnight: 85 trucks will begin to bring in 1,400 cubic yards of dirt, which they will spread under the bridge to make a four-foot deep cushion to protect the pavement from falling debris as the bridge is dismantled, reports the Daily News.
Saturday, July 16 at 2 a.m.: Workers will cut slots through the top deck of the bridge with a diamond blade saw, starting at the center of the structure and moving outward, according to Metro.
Saturday, July 16 at midday to Sunday, July 17 at midday: Workers will take apart the bridge, separating concrete from steel bars with heavy equipment called "hoe rams." The machines have 80-foot arms and will be stationed underneath the bridge, reports the Daily News.
Monday, July 18 at 2 a.m.: The final cleanup should start, with crews hauling away the dirt, sweeping up the remaining debris, and inspecting the remaining portion of the bridge. Inspectors from Caltrans and the LA Department of Transportation, as well as structural engineers, will examine the bridge and freeway.
Monday, July 18 at 6 a.m.: Monday traffic will be allowed back on the freeway if everything goes as planned.
Kiewit Pacific, the construction company contracted to complete the demolition, has an incentive to work fast. They will be charged approximately $6,000 for every ten minutes that the project runs behind the scheduled reopening, reports Patch.

'To be honest, we're happy to let the Tories and Lib Dems take the shit for the cuts," said the senior Labour frontbencher with a knowing smile. As his words sunk in later, I wondered what he had to smile about.
Some Labour figures appear relieved to be in opposition. Quite a few to whom I have spoken since last month's election seem to think their party did rather well. It didn't: it won 29 per cent of the vote.
So far, Labour's leadership election seems to be taking place in a parallel universe. The candidates talk about reconnecting with the voters, but the crisis in the public finances (which Labour would have had to tackle if it had retained power) rarely gets a look-in. They are more interested in connecting with Labour members. Now that the general election is over, it is safe to talk about immigration, Iraq, bankers and high earners. But there's no need to mention the c-word. The cuts can be left to the other parties and Labour can retreat to its comfort zone.
This is dangerous stuff for Labour. The voters know that Britain has a budget crisis. The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats work overtime in trying to blame it on Labour. They are also painting it very black in the hope that the cuts and tax rises in the Budget on Tuesday week will not look as dark on the day.
Labour politicians assume there is no such thing as "progressive cuts". They give the impression of gearing up to oppose whatever the Government decides. But what if it squeezes middle and higher income families and convinces people it has kept its pledge to protect the poor and vulnerable? David Cameron's team is said to have concluded that the only way he can convince doubting voters that the Tories are not the "nasty party" (which he failed to do in opposition) is to avoid nasty cuts for those at the bottom of society. That won't be easy given the scale of the deficit, but, if he succeeded, where would that leave a Labour Party that looked to be in denial about the problem?
Mr Cameron's attempt to complete his unfinished "reassurance project" by the next election can only be helped by having the Liberal Democrats on board. In a speech in Madrid yesterday, Nick Clegg argued: "There is nothing progressive about passing on this huge burden to our children. There is nothing fair about leaving them servicing an enormous debt, using money that could be spent on schools and hospitals just to pay the interest. It is our progressive values that mean we must take the difficult decisions now that do not cause more pain, worse pain, later."
He would say that, wouldn't he? But so did Lord Myners, until a month ago City minister in the Labour government. In a powerful warning shot aimed at his own party, he said this week: "There is nothing progressive about a government that consistently spends more than it can raise in taxation and certainly nothing progressive that endows generations to come with the liabilities incurred with respect to the current generation."
Of course, it is one thing for the coalition to talk about "cutting with care" and quite another to achieve it. So far, the new administration has been good at saying what it will NOT cut – the health service, overseas aid, free bus passes, TV licences and winter fuel allowances for pensioners and the defence budget, although the latter is exempt for this year only.
Mr Cameron is adamant that the NHS must enjoy a real-terms increase every year. To ditch that pledge, he believes, would nuke his reassurance project. Yet some ministers wonder whether it is right to ring-fence health. Although the Government insists the search for greater efficiency will go on in an NHS facing ever-greater demands, the guaranteed budget is bound to take some of the pressure off.
Its special protection ignores one lesson from Canada, on which the coalition's cuts exercise is modelled after the federal government reduced spending by more than 10 per cent between 1994 and 1997. One of its ground rules was that "nothing is off the table"; health and education were among the casualties.
The key questions posed by the Canadian government – such as should the state really be providing this service, should it be handed to the private or voluntary sector – were reproduced faithfully in a Treasury document this week. The coalition also aims to adopt Canada's open and inclusive approach to take people with it, although that will be hard. Another lesson is that speed is important to create some light at the end of the tunnel.
Yet the parallels can be overstated. Jocelyne Bourgon, a senior civil servant in Canada during the period, admits in a report for the Institute for Government that one crucial ingredient was "luck" – that there were no major external economic shocks.
Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg may not be so lucky. Canada had the United States economy next door to help it grow. On our doorstep, European governments queue up to wield the axe even where, as in Germany, economists say they don't need to. This "competitive austerity" could result in a huge rise in unemployment across Europe, destroying the coalition's hopes of claiming the progressive label. Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg need a growth strategy as well as a cuts strategy.

Now If Only I Can Find A Job...
I love San Francisco!I've realized after going to college that I'm a city girl. Not only that I think I love fog too much to leave the city. I remember the first time I ordered takeout in another city and they gave it to me in a styrofoam box, I was so confused. I thought that styrofoam was banned everywhere because it was not biodegradeable and then I realized...it was only in San Francisco.
I think there's something really special about San Francisco that's not present in any other city, but I'm pretty much biased because I've lived there all my life.
I would live here forever but I really think it depends on my job prospects...

Chris Beakey will be appearing to sign copies of his latest novel, Fatal Option.
Chris Beakey will be appearing to sign copies of his new thriller, Fatal Option.
Five months after the mysterious death of his wife, Stephen Porter is pulled from a dreamless sleep by a midnight phone call. His 17-year-old daughter, Sara, is stranded in a blizzard near the top of a mountain beyond their suburban home. She's terrified and unable to stop crying as she begs him to come to her rescue.
Unfortunately, Stephen went to bed just an hour before, after a night of binge drinking. With his blurred vision and unsteady balance, he knows it's dangerously irresponsible to get behind the wheel. But he heads out into the snowstorm to bring Sara home.
High school teacher Kieran O'Shea is also behind the wheel, searching for his autistic younger brother Aidan, who is wandering aimlessly through the storm on that same mountain. Kieran is terrified - of the voices in his mind, that Aidan will be taken from him, and that he may soon be arrested for murdering three women.
In a matter of minutes Stephen will encounter Kieran and drive headlong into a collision that will force him to unlock the secret of his wife's death, avoid prosecution, and protect his children from violence that hits all too close to home.
The signing will take place on Saturday, March 18th, from 1 until 3 PM.
Come join our teen book club! The selection for February's discussion is Asylum by Madeleine Roux.
Victor Benucci and Madeline Falco have a story to tell. It begins with the death of Vic's father. It ends with the murder of Mad's uncle.
The Hackensack Police Department would very much like to hear their story. But in order to tell it, Vic and Mad must focus on all the chapters in between.
The book club is led by Karen Willey, an 18 year teaching veteran who has spent 17 of those years teaching Language Arts to middle school students. An avid reader herself, Karen has presented numerous times at the state wide Festival of Words conference, focusing on young adult literature. Her educational philosophy has always been to create life long readers and that continues to be her focus today, both in the classroom and in the community.
The discussion will take place on Saturday, March 11th, beginning at 11:00 AM. Snacks and drinks will also be served. No prior registration is required. For more information, call 302-226-2665.

As much as Paul Dacre might wish to gripe about the single-handed rewriting of UK privacy laws by High Court judge Mr Justice Eady, it is becoming clear that the well of sympathy for the tabloid press does not run that deep. Dacre argues that it is wholly inappropriate for an unelected judge to flex his creative muscle in areas that have profound implications for the freedom of the press, but given that the stock in trade of the Daily Mail and other tabloids is the reporting of affairs that bear little relation to any notion of public interest, those protestations ring somewhat hollow.
Is the editor-in-chief of a national newspaper simply the wrong person to carry the torch for freedom of speech issues? Dacre's arguments would have far greater credibility coming from the mouth of a constitutional lawyer with no vested interest. Surely the protection of privacy is something that we expect our elected representatives to fight for on our behalf? Where does New Labour stand on this issue?
It is naive in the extreme to imagine that a political party would ever legislate to curb the ability of the popular press to peddle its daily menu of cheap salacious gossip and financially-motivated kiss-and-tell stories. The issue goes beyond conventional journalism into the murky hinterland of publications that rely on cellulite and ill-advised bikinis to sell their weekly glossies. It is an industry, and in times of economic downturn our industries become precious sources of buoyancy, not to mention the fact that many voters look forward to their weekly fixes of inconsequential fluff and nonsense. You might as well legislate against Christmas or Coronation Street. And what exactly would fill the gaping void left if we snipped out everything that the public didn't desperately need to know? It is arguable that the only thing that stops the tabloids being more proactive in their pursuit of political scandal is the fact that Big Brother contestants are so much more interesting than MPs.
So let us discount the opinions of Dacre and his tabloid allies, and pursue the argument along the lines of basic constitutional principles. The Human Rights Act was conceived to enshrine certain fundamental rights of the individual in his or her dealings with the state. In areas of privacy - so the theory goes - the private citizen has certain rights that will protect them against unwarranted intrusion by public authorities. However, one of the idiosyncracies of the definition of "public authority" is that it includes the courts themselves. Irrespective of whether the effect was inadvertent or deliberate on the part of the government, what is clear is that in civil cases between two private parties, the courts must now give effect to the right of privacy without any direct involvement of the state. This is called the "horizontal effect" and is what allows a private individual such as Max Mosley to sue a private organisation such as a national newspaper on human rights grounds.
The situation we now find ourselves in, 10 years after the Human Rights Act became law, is that once again we have a private action of benefit only to those that can afford to pursue it, not dissimilar to an action for libel or slander. If a particular right is only accessible to the rich and famous, then is it a right at all? The right to life or the freedom from torture are not rights that depend upon the relative wealth of the claimants, so it is worth considering whether the right to privacy that is being established by Eady has any kind of universality worthy of the name. The tabloids can print any amount of titillating rubbish about the average member of the public, but unless they earn celebrity wages there isn't a damn thing they will be able to do about it. Is this what we are celebrating when we see the likes of Dacre laud his precious freedom of the press? Eady is a one-man legislative machine, albeit one who has until now enjoyed the full backing of his superiors in the higher courts of appeal. Given that he attained his post under the old system of judicial nepotism - otherwise known as "secret soundings" - is he really best placed to create whole rafts of constitutional principle without any reference to parliamentary will?
If any more evidence of the one-sided, establishment-friendly nature of this new-fangled privacy principle were needed, then it is worth spending some time becoming acquainted with the following case. A still-unnamed sportsman had an affair with another man's wife. When the cuckolded husband found out and decided to try to sell the story of his ruined life to the papers, the sportsman (with the full-backing of a reassuringly expensive legal counsel) sought an injunction against the husband on the basis that the resultant media scandal would be a gross invasion of his family's right to a private life. He succeeded, and it doesn't take a barrister to guess who was the presiding judge. Clearly the freedom of speech loses out to the right of sportsmen to pay for their privacy by any means necessary.
Beyond Eady
We once again have a privacy law of benefit only to those that can afford to pursue it

Wobbles in the Barriers: Arctic Oscillation (4)
This is a continuation of my series on the Arctic Oscillation / North Atlantic Oscillation. Links to background material and previous entries are at the end.
In the last entry I suggested that if you were on a bridge overlooking a swiftly flowing creek then you would notice that twigs floating in the water did not move across the current. They are carried downstream along the edge of the current. The purpose of that comparison was to demonstrate how fast-moving, concentrated flows have the effect of isolating one side of the creek from the other. This is true in the creek, and it is also true about jet streams in the atmosphere.
One way to understand the Arctic Oscillation is to think of it as the variation of an atmospheric jet stream. For the Arctic Oscillation the jet stream of interest is the southern edge of vortex of air that circulates around the North Pole (see previous entry). Air inside the vortex often has characteristics different from air outside it. Intuitively for the Arctic, there is colder air on the side toward the pole. If you look at trace gases, like ozone, they are different across the edge of the vortex. The takeaway idea is that the edge of the vortex is a barrier. It's not a perfect barrier, but the air on one side is largely separated from the air on the other side. In this blog, I describe the difference between a strong and a weak vortex – which is the same as the difference between the positive and negative phases of the Arctic Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation.
Figure 1: This figure is from the point of view of someone looking down from above at the North Pole (NP). Compare this perspective to Figure 1 in previous blog. This represents a strong, circular vortex centered over the pole, which encloses cold air, represented as blue. The line surrounding the cold air is the jet stream or the edge of the vortex.
Figure 1 shows an idealized schematic of the North Pole as viewed from above. This is the strong vortex case, when there is exceptionally low pressure at the pole. Low pressure is associated with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. This direction of rotation is called cyclonic. This strong vortex case is the positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation. During this phase, the vortex aligns strongly with the rotation of the Earth, and there are relatively few wobbles of the edge of the vortex – the jet stream. I drew on the figure two points, X and Y. In this case, the point X is hot and the point Y is cold. It is during this phase when it is relatively warm and moist over, for example, the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Figure 2 compares a strong vortex and a weak vortex. In both cases, the circulation around a central point is counterclockwise or cyclonic. However, in the weak vortex case, the vortex does not align as strongly with the rotation of the Earth and there are places where the edge of vortex extends southwards. The vortex appears displaced from the pole; it is not centered over the pole.
Figure 2: Examples of a strong, circular vortex and a weak, more wavy vortex. See text for a more complete description.
Whether the vortex is stronger or weaker is determined by the atmospheric pressure at the pole. In the winter, an important factor that determines the circulation is the cooling that occurs at polar latitudes during the polar night.
What determines the waviness or wobbles at the edge of this vortex? The structure at the edge of vortex is strongly influenced by several factors. These factors include the structure of the high-pressure centers that are over the oceans and continents to the south of jet stream. One could easily imagine a strong high-pressure center over, for example, Iceland, pushing northward at the edge of the vortex. This might push a lobe of air characteristic of the middle latitude Atlantic Ocean northward. Since the edge of the vortex is something of a barrier, this high-pressure system would distort the edge of the vortex and, perhaps, push the vortex off the pole. This would appear as a displacement of the vortex and its cold air over, for example, Russia. If the high grew and faded, then this would appear as wobbles of the vortex.
Other factors that influence the waviness at the edge of the vortex are the mountain ranges and the thermal contrast between the continents and the oceans. The impact of mountains is easy to understand. Returning to the creek comparison used above, the mountains are like a boulder in the stream. The water bulges around and over the boulder; the air in the atmosphere bulges around and over the mountain ranges. The Rocky Mountains in the western half of North America are perfect examples of where there are often wobbles in the atmospheric jet stream.
Figure 3: This figure is from the point of view of someone looking down from above at the North Pole (NP). This represents a weak, wavy, wobbly vortex displaced from the pole. The vortex encloses cold air, represented as blue. The line surrounding the cold air is the jet stream or the edge of the vortex. (definition of vortex)
Figure 3 shows an idealized schematic of the North Pole as viewed from above. This is the weak vortex case, when the low pressure at the pole is not as low as average and the pressure is much higher than the strong vortex case of Figure 1. This weak vortex case is the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation. During this phase, the alignment of the vortex with the rotation of the Earth is less prominent, and there are wobbles of the edge of the vortex – the jet stream. In this case, the point X is cold and the point Y is hot. It is during this phase where it is relatively cool and dry (but potentially snowy) over, for example, the eastern part of the United States.
These figures help to explain the prominent signal of the Arctic Oscillation discussed in the earlier entries (specifically, this blog). That is, when the vortex is weak and wobbly, then there are excursions of colder air to the south and warmer air to the north. This appears as waviness and is an important pattern of variability - warm, cold, warm, cold.
The impact of the changes in the structure of edge of the vortex does not end with these persistent periods of regional warm and cold spells. The edge of the vortex or the jet stream is also important for steering storms. Minimally, therefore, these changes in the edge of the vortex are expected to change the characteristics of how storms move. Simply, if the edge of the vortex has large northward and southward extensions, then storms take a longer time to move, for example, across the United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic Oceans. In the positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation they just whip across. In the negative phase, the storms wander around a bit. A more complete discussion of this aspect of the role of the Arctic Oscillation will be in the next entry. (Note use of dramatic tension and the cliffhanger strategy of the serial.)

Thanx for your knowledgeable input. Now you can go back to playing met in Jeff's entry. |
Bot check. GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX. |
Science has no time for emotions, as the Science on AGW is as strong as one will find in any field. The time to discuss "is it real", was past a decade ago. NOAA has all the relevant info as to causation and feedbacks occurring. This is not FB, nor a Main blog board. We deal with the science of AGW here, not whether or not it exist. And to run to Masters entry whining like a child is bad form....as your post was "all" inclusive as to posters here I gather. You will find the dissenters on your side "there", as they clutch to any Hope of AGW being er, a Hoax. Good luck with that group. |
Quoting 1200. Daisyworld:That's your business whether you believe I took the class or not as I know what I took, so don't tell me I didn't take this class. Besides like I said I took the class 5 years ago. Next thing you know you're probably going to call me a liar. And you repeated what I said in comment post 1199 about the burning of fossil fuels being the main contributor to CO2, so if you're done being rude, we can continue on with this conversation. Thanks and have a nice day. |
SALON interview with Yale economist William Nordhaus: William Nordhaus: Smoking can teach us about climate change A Yale economist explains why we need to put a price on carbon We're uncertain about the effects of climate change the way we're uncertain that smoking causes cancer, says economist William Nordhaus. "Uncertainty," in other words, really isn't a good reason for us not to do everything possible to stem carbon emissions. In the latest of his series of books on climate change, "The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty and Economics for a Warming World," Nordhaus, the Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University, delivers a primer of sorts on the social, political and economic factors at play in the climate debate. It's not whether climate change is happening, he suggests, but what we can and should do about it, that's the true question for our time. Nordhaus spoke with Salon about his case for a putting a price on carbon, and what we'd have to do to afford and embrace what he says is the only way we have to slow global warming. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. Read more >> |
Quoting 1199. GTstormChaserCaleb: I'm not entirely convinced that you took that class, otherwise you should be able to answer that question. The recent precipitous rise of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere is due to the burning of fossil fuels, far eclipsing any other CO2 emitted from the natural carbon cycle. There are no other "non-renewable energy resources" contributing to the rise in CO2 as the burning of fossil fuels do. If you took PHYS 142, you would already know this. |
Quoting 1198. Daisyworld:I've taken that class already, but it was 5 years ago. Here is my thing I want to ask you. It's the human causes of GW. Is it every country in the world contributing to GW in some way or is it just the countries that have the resources to contribute to GW. Reason I ask this is because we seem to equip the rising levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases to GW which are produced from burning of fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy resources. So I'm thinking countries that aren't that technologically advanced or still relying on donkey carts and wagons as a form of transportation do they play a part in this as well and it what ways? |
Quoting 1197. GTstormChaserCaleb: Caleb, I highly suggest you take PHYS 142 (Introduction to Environmental Science) at ERAU when you get the chance. It will help you establish a baseline knowledge needed to understand both climate change and the scientific process. |
Quoting 1195. Birthmark:What!?!? so that video I posted isn't scientific? Ruth Curry's graphics and charts must be flawed then. All those collected sediment core samples stored in the Woods hole Oceanographic Institution is not scientific? C'mon that's not fair. |
Quoting 1194. GTstormChaserCaleb: Okay, thanks for the link. Unfortunately, only those who can log into ERNIE will be able to access it. For the record, the reference is: Sorokhtin, Oleg G., George V. Chilingar, Leonid F. Khilyuk, "Global Warming and Global Cooling — Evolution of Climate on Earth", Developments in Earth and Environmental Sciences, Volume 5, 2007, Pages xi–xvi, 1–313. However, it doesn't look like the full paper is available at the Hunt Library in ERNIE (the school is not subscribed to the journal). So, did you actually read the paper? Or did you just glean the information you wanted from the Foreword? Even still, the foreword discusses that the "debate" is occurring in public policy and the media. This is disturbing because in science, there is no debate, yet many believe there is. I vehemently oppose the perpetuation of the myth that there are two sides to the subject of human-induced climate change. I suggest you focus your efforts on either understanding the science (which is quite clear that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming trend), or learning to separate the facts from the lies in this so-called "debate" in the public and media. |
Quoting 1193. Daisyworld:Didn't know I was turning in an analytical report? I would reference the page, but I forgot my log in. So here is a a href="Link" target="_blank">Link, I guess if it doesn't support your cause it automatically goes into the recycle bin. That's ok because I will continue to show both sides of the argument on here. And science as that video I posted in 1176 shows that the Arctic Ice Melt may alter the thermohaline conveyor belt replacing more fresh water over top of ocean water stopping the water pump known as the Gulf Stream from bring warmer waters to places like the UK and the Northeast US thus causing colder winters like we saw back in the 80s. |
Quoting 1192. Neapolitan: Agreed. In addition, the reference associated with the quote wasn't a complete one. They use APA6 at ERAU, so I'm surprised our esteemed alumni commenter did not include a reference for their researched quote. |
Quoting 1185. GTstormChaserCaleb:Your analysis is wrong...but it's no more wrong than the nonsense paper to which you linked. Here's a hint: when a purported scientific paper uses phrases such as "...they reflect the overwhelming 'humanocentric' bias of an environmentally zealous social community", you can pretty well guess it's coming from the wrong place. |
Quoting 1186. yoboi: Yes, yes. Good data. But like most who deny that human-induced climate change exists (let alone the fact that humans are the dominant factor behind the current warming) you focus on only a tiny fraction of the information needed to base a sound conclusion: |
Quoting 1183. GTstormChaserCaleb:So what I take from this and this is just my analysis. Is that there is still studies that need to be done and the common people need to be more educated on the subject of climate change, so that they aren't taking what the media tells them as gospel. Also that we need to distinguish between natural changes in the climate and man-made changes to the climate. Also that it is more important to focus on scientific observations rather than theoretical computer models. It is just that computer models are giving predictions into the future and in terms of climate that could be a long ways into the future whereas scientific observations are in the present. I will say we are in a Global Warming trend when you look at temperatures Globally warming since the Industrial Revolution, but the question is how much further will the Earth continue to warm and for how long more? |

Quoting 1173. Daisyworld:Hey Now! I don't spread that kinda stuff. I calls it how I sees it! |
When you add all this C02 en masse to the closed Earth System, what did they think was going to happen? Now that were at 400ppm and rising, the feedbacks are starting to accelerate. Toss in a massive Methane release and bada boom' The Climate Change Pandora's Box is creaking open, and lil wiggly things will continue to fly out. Buckle up,... |
Quoting 1177. yoboi: That's another lie, yoboi. Just as Weather Underground's climate change section explains to everyone. Why do you continue to post lies when you know they're not true? |
Never thought I would see Dr. Roods blog get more attention than Dr. Masters. I guess hurricane season is dead and AGW is alive and well. Have you guys watched this yet? |
Quoting 1170. overwash12: Then you must be reading your past comments. |
Quoting 1166. yoboi: *sigh* That's a lie, and you know it. |
Quoting 1166. yoboi:More moisture in the air with a warming Earth,or was it more droughts. I get confused from reading all the propaganda these days! |
Quoting 1166. yoboi: I thought you were going to make a new handle? |
Quoting 1165. Birthmark:A few colder than average winters will put it right back! |
Quoting 1162. overwash12: And your subjective declaration is related to climate change... because...? |
Guess what is taking place right now? Arctic ice is expanding in volume! Winter is around the corner. |
From Arctic News Blog: Greenland Sea hit by M5.3 Earthquake An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 on the Richter scale hit the Greenland Sea near Svalbard on October 28, 2013. For a long time, huge sea surface temperature anomalies have shown up in the area where the earthquake hit. The image below compares the situation before and after the earthquake hit. These huge sea surface temperature anomalies were discussed before, in the September 19, 2013, post Is the North Pole now ice-free? This post mentions that sea surface temperatures in some spots close to Svalbard are far higher than even in the waters closer to the Atlantic Ocean. In some of these spots, sea surface temperatures are well over 10°C (50°F). The post continues: Where does this heat come from? These hot spots could be caused by undersea volcanic activity; this is the more dangerous as this area has seen methane bubbling up from destabilized hydrates before; the dangers of this situation have been discussed repeatedly, e.g. in the April 2011 post Runaway Global Warming. Indeed, the big danger is large abrupt release of methane from destabilized hydrates. At the moment, the amount of methane entering the atmosphere over the Arctic Ocean is already huge, as illustrated by the image below that shows high methane readings over the past few days. We'll keep monitoring the situation. |
Influence of Arctic sea ice on European summer precipitation Abstract The six summers from 2007 to 2012 were all wetter than average over northern Europe. Although none of these individual events are unprecedented in historical records, the sequence of six consecutive wet summers is extraordinary. Composite analysis reveals that observed wet summer months in northern Europe tend to occur when the jet stream is displaced to the south of its climatological position, whereas dry summer months tend to occur when the jet stream is located further north. Highly similar mechanisms are shown to drive simulated precipitation anomalies in an atmospheric model. The model is used to explore the influence of Arctic sea ice on European summer climate, by prescribing different sea ice conditions, but holding other forcings constant. In the simulations, Arctic sea ice loss induces a southward shift of the summer jet stream over Europe and increased northern European precipitation. The simulated precipitation response is relatively small compared to year-to-year variability, but is statistically significant and closely resembles the spatial pattern of precipitation anomalies in recent summers. The results suggest a causal link between observed sea ice anomalies, large-scale atmospheric circulation and increased summer rainfall over northern Europe. Thus, diminished Arctic sea ice may have been a contributing driver of recent wet summers. Link to complete paper and video presentation |
The denialist strategizers that Naomi Oreskes writes about, such as the types at Heartland Institute, do an interesting thing. They say we must deny science in order to prevent new governmental regulations. Since they are ideologs who believe that governmental regulation is worse than any problem it might solve, they think they are "doing the right thing." The kicker is that by going to the extreme of denying the science, they implicitly assume that government regulation is the way to solve the problem of AGW. (Why else tie their main goal to denying the validity of the science?) So their extreme strategy of combating government regulation paints them into a corner. If they ever admit to the validity of the science, by their own assumptions they automatically admit that we need government regulations. So they will never encourage people to listen to reason about the science because that would immediately defeat their main agenda. |

Topic tags/keywords: glue I am looking for a glue that I can use to adhere magnets (little round disk type) onto wood and plastic. (Acrylic, if it matters.) I did my testing with some of that low-expand gorilla glue and it still expanded a lot (but the magnet sure is not going anywhere! :) ) and yesterday I did some tests on plastic with generic CA, which sure stuck it good but it also kind of went everywhere, which wouldn't have been noticeable on wood but on the acrylic you can see it clearly. So I'm thinking a gel glue would be good? Any brand of gel CA work the best in y'all's opinion? I need A LOT of whatever I use, so I would prefer to buy it in slightly larger containers than those teensy tubes they sell at Hobby Lobby. (And I don't mind buying online!)

Lis, I prefer the titebond brand. There may be better brands out there but I haven't run across them yet. They come in 2 and 4 oz containers. I bought the 4 oz container thinking I would save $ and time cause I use a lot of it too, BIG mistake! The tip hole is slightly larger than the 2 oz size and you usually get more than you want out and is harder to control the amount you use. Also the tip being larger leaves a slight amount on the tip as spillage and when you put the cap on it sticks to the cap and requires periodic cleaning and that tends to ruin the threads on the cap and I usually waste about half of the 4 oz size. The 2 oz is much easier to control and I get much less waste. It comes in 3 forms thick, medium, and thin. As for the 2 part epoxy, I have used it once and found it time consuming and messy. It may be that I did not use it right or have enough knowledge in it's usage. I do know that it has good properties if used appropriately. Good luck and nice seeing your icon back on LJ.

Liz, I have had much better success with epoxy. A little lacquer thinner is good to de-grease surfaces before bonding and works for cleanup as well. I like the System 3 products, but that is the only professional brand I have tried; the rest were what ever they had at the Walmart or Home Depot the day I was shopping. They all lasted longer and gave a more powerful bond than any other type of glue I have tried on polished metal. |

Bearpie, What I do with some glues is simply transfer some of the glue I buy in bulk to smaller used containers. for the original post, I'd second the idea of epoxies or a CA glue. Also remember, gels are nice, but they rarely penetrate as well as something more…. "runny". |
#6 posted 07-12-2011 05:22 PM |
CA glue comes in different viscosities – thin, medium and thick. I use the thick CA glue when gluing magnets. If I am working with round magnets, I usually drill a shallow hole the size of the magnet and glue the magnet into the hole. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker.

#10 posted 07-12-2011 06:01 PM |
Bobthefish, I have tried buying the larger container and transferring into the smaller container but the problem I had with that is the smaller container is good for only one transfer before the threads are "ruined" (at least for me) and I would still have to buy another small container and use that up and use the second half of the larger container. Much simpler to just use the 2 oz container. On another note; I used the thick glue to glue a board to an rectangular aluminum tube that I use for re-sawing to prevent the aluminum transferring grey marks to the wood I am cutting due to vibrations of the saw. It worked well till I went on vacation for a week and came back to find the board laying on the floor, I had to drill and screw the board to the aluminum tube. Seems the glue did not adhere well to the aluminum as there were very little glue on it and most of it was on the wood. Erwin, Jacksonville, FL -- Erwin, Jacksonville, FL |

Thanks everybody! :) I will look into the different choices suggested here and see what works for me. I am hesitant to try hot glue because I use low-melt glue in the shop everyday (to hold down pieces while I cut them on the CNC) and I can totally see myself mixing up the two, even if I dedicate two different glue guns to the task.

I've read that rare earth magnets are coated with something (I think they are a bit brittle), so scuff them up, as noted previously, to give the coating some texture for the glue to bond with…. and when in doubt, use epoxy. (I understand that once textured, CA should work fine) -- Steven Davis - see me at http://www.free2secure.com/ |

One of the features of HuntFest is the photographic and video competition with amateur and professional sections, the winning entries of which will be on show during the event.
"The scope of the event has been extended to encompass a far greater range of interests besides firearms related activities like hunting and target shooting," HuntFest coordinator Onno de Smeth said.
With a larger outdoor area being available this year, the organisers have been able to secure exhibitors to include interests such camping, outdoor cooking, ATV and UTV vehicles, 4WD equipment, boats and kayaks, knife making, archery and hide tanning.
There will be a contained archery range, which will give people a chance to fire arrows at close targets under supervision of professionals as well as a full bow service facility available for those who already have archery equipment in need of repair.
Indoor exhibits include firearm and knife displays, hunting and target shooting equipment, reloading equipment, archery and bow hunting supplies, pig dogging equipment, GPS equipment and programs, hunting outfitters and guides, hunting clubs and camping accessories.
There will demonstrations of game skinning techniques, butchering of game animals, field processing and preserving of game meat.
Some skill workshops will include how to whistle a fox, hunting with a quad bike, hunting with ferrets, hunting Sambah deer and GPS operations.
A children's colouring-in competition will again be held over the two days of the event with the best entries judged at the end of the final day.
Food and beverages will be available from a range of vendors.
Entry price is $10 for adults and children under 16 are free, and for more information visit www.huntfest.com.au.

Obama's Bear-Hug Pizza Guy Hugs Charlie Crist
While at a Patrick Murphy fundraiser yesterday, Charlie Crist was asked about Scott Van Duzer's bear-hugging President Obama. And Crist expressed a strong desire to meet the man.
"You know what?" Crist responded. "I wanted to stop by the guy's... Where is his place?"
Crist, whose ousting from the Republican Party started with his hugging Obama in 2009, thinks he's been replaced as Florida's Bestest Hugger of the President and showed up at the pizza shop and told Van Duzer, "You know what I'm here for," and O MY GAAHH this is not going to help all the gay rumors!
"[Van Duzer's hug] puts mine to shame," he said.

So, Van Duzer went ahead and bear-hugged Charlie Crist, which somehow managed to look a trillion times more awkward than when he hugged Obama.
In 2009, Crist helped promote Van Duzer's nonprofit foundation's "Be a Hero for a Day" blood drive. But this was the first time the giant pizza guy had met the former governor in person.
"Nothing surprises me anymore after the president walked in," Van Duzer said.
Although Crist would probably tell people he just wanted to meet Van Duzer, who has suddenly become something of a celebrity, this might all be a ploy to get things started for a gubernatorial run in 2014.
Hey, Charlie Crist kicks off political changes with hugs, so this is the theory we're sticking with. Pretty good, right?
According to one poll, Crist trails Alex Sink among Democrats
Although the poll was taken before the DNC and the bear hug, so we'll see what happens.
In the meantime, Crist will just keep going around pretending he's not a Democrat while stumping for Democrats and looking for people to hug.

One of the reasons I have become committed to equine psychotherapy is the fact that it requires the use of the body, rather than simply talking. But, why is this so important? Well, most clients with eating disorders are very intelligent; they don't suffer from an inability to use their brains, even if their actions are not the most rational. The average eating disorder client can easily talk for an entire hour about all of their thoughts and beliefs, but can make it through that hour almost completely avoiding emotion. It's a challenge for us therapists, as our job is, you know, to talk. So, it's easy to get caught up in talking brain to brain, leaving out emotions, and the body.
And maybe this sounds kind of "woo-woo," but I think it is true that our bodies hold onto emotions. Think of how many physical ailments can be linked to emotions. Headaches and stomachaches are easily seen as sometimes being the result of emotions. I have become very interested in Peter Levine's work with trauma, and he is probably the foremost person to convince me that our bodies hold suppressed emotion.
In short, Levine argues that we can use animal models to understand human trauma. (Disclaimer: this is my interpretation of his writings.) Levine specifically uses whiplash injuries as one of his examples. He indicates that many people who experience low speed car accidents that result in whiplash report physical symptoms that surpass what one would expect from the low speed rear-ending. This is where he brings in animal models. He argues that animals, who can be under pretty constant threat from predators, don't demonstrate trauma. Now, I don't know if this was his example, or just what I ended up using as an example, but think of a deer in the headlights. It is frozen, but then bounds off into the woods. Well, apparently, if we were to follow that deer, we would eventually find it shaking in the woods. And, Levine indicates that this shaking is the release of the emotion from the body.
Now, back to the car accident. Humans get into a low speed car accident, and then get out, get their insurance, call the cops, call loved ones, etc., and the emotion they might be feeling gets blocked by this flurry of acting. His argument is that if we were to stand on the side of the road, and allow our bodies to release the emotion, we would be less likely to have the effects of trauma. I am confident this is dramatically oversimplifying his stance, but this is the basics. He has written a number of books on trauma, any of which would provide more in-depth information on this concept.
So, now, back to the clients with eating disorders. Not everyone with an eating disorder has a clearly definable trauma history; that is not my stance. But, eating disorders do serve to block emotion. Rather than feel about something, you focus on food in some way or another. That effectively blocks the emotion inside your body. Often emotions are numbed completely and clients will report really not feeling anything anymore. But it's still there. The extent of blocking varies from person to person, but I'm arguing that, in order to achieve recovery, and general psychological health, the emotion(s) must be released. There are many avenues for achieving this, sometimes even including simple talk therapy. But, if the emotions are NOT being released through talk therapy, it might be time to look for something to add to you therapy work. Dance therapy, yoga, art therapy, physical movement, and equine psychotherapy are all possibilities; and I'm sure there are many more I've not listed. But the bottom line is this: Release the emotion from your body. Trust it will not consume you. And, in fact, understand it is consuming you more when you block it than when you release it.

Moose Jaw Times Herald | Mickey Djuric
Kevyn Gadd got nearly 200 people in Moose Jaw talking to their families about organ donation.
The first Transplant Trot took place at Wakamow Valley, Sunday, and as much as there were feet moving there were just as much mouths talking.
Gadd, who had a double lung transplant 15 months ago, came up with the idea to host the run to raise an issue that's close to his heart.
"We did this as a family because we need to make people aware that organ donation and tissue donation is important," said Roxanna Gadd-Frey, mother of Kevyn.
"Many people think that they just have to put the little stick on their health card, but that's not all you have to do. Your family has to be told, they have to know. This is our way of bringing awareness out that this is how we do organ transplants."
In Saskatchewan, organs and tissues can not be donated without your family or next of kin's consent even if you have the organ donor sticker on your health card. Continue reading

By Gregg Bell, AP Sports Writer
KIRKLAND, Wash. Just a few years removed from an MVP season and also helping lead the way to a berth in the Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks are moving on without Shaun Alexander.
The Seahawks capped their promise to overhaul their running game by granting Alexander his unconditional release Tuesday, hours after doctors cleared his surgically repaired left wrist for spring minicamps. Alexander, 30, completed just two of the eight years in a $62 million deal he signed in March 2006 - two seasons of injuries, ineffectiveness and incessant boos. "This is one of the toughest decisions I'll ever have to make and be a part of while with an organization. At the same time, you have to make these tough decisions," Seahawks president Tim Ruskell said. The move was not unexpected yet was still a thudding end to Alexander's pinnacle-to-pits demise. It came just over two years after Seattle gave Alexander the big contract in the wake of him becoming the franchise's only league MVP, setting an NFL record with 28 touchdowns and leading the franchise to its only Super Bowl in 2006. "We wanted to change the dynamic of the running game, top to bottom," Ruskell said. "And this is another step in that direction." Seattle begins anew with 26-year-old running back Julius Jones, signed to a four-year deal last month after Marion Barber took his lead job in Dallas. That deal came a week after the Seahawks signed fellow free-agent T.J. Duckett, a 27-year-old who is more of a bruising runner than the shifty Jones. Duckett signed for five years. It was after those two additions six weeks ago that the Seahawks told Alexander, who was to earn $4,475,000 this season, that his release may come soon. "While it really isn't a surprise, this news marks a major transition in my life," Alexander said. "I started my NFL career in Seattle and hoped I could remain with the team through the rest of my days as a player. That said, things change." Seattle also hired a new offensive line coach, Mike Solari, and signed a new starting left guard, Mike Wahle from Carolina, since declaring that a reconstruction of what was one of the league's least effective running games last season was the top offseason priority. The Seahawks averaged 3.8 yards per carry last season, tied for the sixth-lowest mark in the league. Alexander set career lows as a starter with 716 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Seattle won its fourth consecutive NFC West title in spite of Alexander, not because of him. And Seattle may not be done changing its backfield. Ruskell has said he may draft another running back. "It shows you how ever-changing it is, how tough this game is, and you can't play forever," Ruskell said of cutting Alexander. The three-time Pro Bowl runner said he is not retiring. "I will be playing for another NFL team this fall, and doing everything I can to contribute," Alexander said. "I am healthy, energized and looking forward to beginning the next chapter of my NFL career," he said. "My family will remain in the Seattle area, and when my days in the NFL do eventually come to an end, I plan to retire here. ... Thank you, Seattle." Ruskell said no teams called seeking a trade for Alexander, Seattle's 19th overall draft choice in 2000. Yet he and Alexander believe another team will sign him soon. "We wanted to give him the best chance before the draft that if someone wanted to make a decision on Shaun Alexander, they can now, because it gets a little harder after the draft. A lot of running backs get taken," Ruskell said. But it's unlikely any team - already deeply absorbed in finalizing draft plans - would rush into an agreement in the days before the draft with a fading 30-year-old runner coming off two major injuries in two unproductive seasons. "I look forward to hopefully returning to Qwest Field one day to play against the Seahawks," Alexander said, while thanking Seattle's fans, the same fans who booed him for most of last season and cheered when he was replaced during games. Alexander's fade came from a broken foot, broken wrist, sprained knee and remodeled offensive line over the past two seasons. The cutback lanes he used to create began closing on him faster. His trademark hesitation, which used to deftly set up blocks, suddenly just invited emboldened defenders to swarm him in place - and his home fans to boo him. Ruskell said the Seahawks haven't decided whether to make Alexander a June 1 cut, which could save them money against this season's salary cap, or have all $6.9 million of his prorated signing bonus count this year by dating the transaction before June 1. Ruskell said Seattle is in good enough of a position under the cap to make the move in either manner. The Associated Press

Download Failure of hospitals to ensure that employee was competent to practise surgery (04HDC07920) (PDF 138Kb)
(04HDC07920, 21 February 2005)
Public hospital ~ Private hospitals ~ General surgeon ~ Colorectal surgery ~ Intra-abdominal surgery ~ Laparoscopic surgery ~ Competence ~ Privacy issues ~ Inter-agency communication ~ Right 4(1)
The Commissioner undertook an own-initiative investigation into whether a general surgeon's employers took adequate steps to respond to concerns about the surgeon's practice and ensure that he was competent to practise surgery, following a number of complaints from individual patients. The inquiry was initiated to recognise the important obligation of a surgeon's employing authority to maintain and monitor the competence of the surgeons it employs, to protect patients.
It was held that the public hospital did not take adequate steps to respond to concerns about the surgeon's practice and to ensure that he was competent to practise surgery. A hospital employing surgeons has an obligation to maintain and monitor their competence, to protect patients. It failed to meet that obligation and breached Right 4(1).
It was held that the first private hospital had a duty to patients to ensure that its visiting practitioners were competent, and a responsibility to respond to concerns about a practitioner's competence in a decisive, timely and appropriate manner. The hospital took steps to restrict the surgeon's practice, but there was sufficient information to justify it taking earlier action. By failing to do so, it did not take adequate steps to protect patient safety and breached Right 4(1).
It was held that a second private hospital responded in an appropriate and timely manner to concerns about the surgeon's competence following the death of one of his patients, and did not breach Right 4(1) of the Code. The hospital acted responsibly to ensure the matter was dealt with promptly and effectively, and any risk to patients was minimised.
The report highlights the need for hospitals to have adequate systems in place to monitor the competence of the health practitioners operating on their premises. Hospitals need to have effective processes to enable them to respond decisively to any concerns about a clinician's practice, in a co-operative and co-ordinated manner. Patient safety must be the paramount consideration.

Delhiites were exposed to unprecedented levels of security on Sunday, when US President Barack Obama landed ahead of his three-day visit. Walls of white sheets and parked buses lined the road leading from the airport to ITC Maurya, where Obama and his massive entourage are staying, all to keep the Beast and the other 80 vehicles in the presidential cavalcade away from prying eyes and shutterbugs.
However, at Obama's formal reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan around noon, the multiple layers of security were clearly inadequate to keep out a stray dog that broke through the cordon and ambled down the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, giving a taste of the real India to the visiting American delegation.
Watch: Stray dog breaches security just before Obama's Guard of Honour
Officials made little effort to stop the light brown dog who seemed to be at ease within the precincts of the president's house. Photographers had a great time capturing shots from all directions.
Earlier in the day, white sheets were used to block a view of the ridge from the route the US president was taking from the airport to his hotel on Sardar Patel Marg making it difficult for people to view the motorcade.
The entry to Sardar Patel Marg was blocked at Dhaula Kuan, Teen Murti Marg and other entry points throughout the day. The ridge itsellf had been sanitized hours before Obama arrived.
About 80-100 vehicles followed Obama's car from the time it left the airport for the hotel at around 10 am. Numerous SUVs from the security unit, which were used as escort vehicles, then led the convoy to Rashtrapati Bhavan at around noon for the formal reception, where Obama inspected a guard of honour. At the tail end of the convoy, armed police personnel were on chartered buses to deal with any untoward situation.
A police team near the ITC Maurya along with private security guards screened all employees going in and checked them against a list provided by the hotel earlier. No employee was allowed to enter without a valid identity card.
It is learnt that the US security agencies used at least 7-8 dogs inside the hotel to sanitise the premises and allowed only their officers on the fourteenth floor where Obama is staying. The Presidential suite, home to Obama for the next three days is bullet proof. Other parts of the hotel, including the lift and staircases were guarded by senior Delhi police officers.
Security officials remained posted at the hotel throughout the day as the First Lady Michelle Obama is learnt to have stayed in the room for a large part of the day.
More than 20,000 police officers, drawn from Delhi Police and paramilitary forces were on duty guarding the route and the India Gate lawns from where Obama's convoy passed enroute to Rashtrapati Bhavan. Police made use of the 15,000 cameras installed for the Republic Day function to monitor every activity around the President's convoy. The control rooms at several locations were monitored by Delhi Police officers and those from the US Secret Service.
