Canadian environmental icon David Suzuki has won the honorary Right Livelihood Award, sometimes called the Alternative Nobel prize, "for his lifetime advocacy of the socially responsible use of science, and for his massive contribution to raising awareness about the perils of climate change and building public support for policies to address it."
Contrasted, say, to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose climate change policies are currently an embarrassment to the country and an affront to the world, David Suzuki was also named this year as the person Canadians trust most. He outpolled the Queen and Rick Hillier (former Chief of Defence Staff) - combined.
Full disclosure: One of the founders of this blog, Jim Hoggan, is chair of the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF). Another of the founders, John Lefebvre, is also a generous supporter of Suzuki's. I personally got hooked on the climate change issue because the DSF hired me as a freelance writer in 1996 to write its first public education package on climate change. We all like, admire and respect Suzuki unreservedly. Just for the record.

suzuki should have lost
I personally was hoping suzuki would lose but its okay because the big climate scare is over. People are finding out that CO2 is harmless.
Enlighten me
What on earth are you reading (or smoking) that supports these silly statements you keep posting? And please don't fall back on Climate Audit or WUWT. Something from a credible source – maybe Science or one of the National Scientific Academies …
Just another idiot
Congratulations, he deserves it.
Suzuki is a big dissapointment
He should have done what McIntyre did, expose bad science.
I have to conclude that Suzuki is only in it for the money. Any scince competence he had has been withered away for lack of use.
My recommendation is don't let your kids be exposed to anything Suzuki is involved with. Tell you kids that Suzuki and Al gore are both alarmists who love making money off of scaring people.
A shame really. i used to think he was OK. Now.. just a shadow of himself. McIntye is the real scientist. McIntyre should get a Nobel price for exposing the AGW team falsehoods. A true David and Golieth story.
You failed to read it again.
You didn't read the link, did you, smear-boy? Suzuki was not given money with this award, but he was honoured as he deserves.

Damn! You figured it out EdB. God, here we all thought we could keep this a secret, but noooooo…smarty pants EdB had to spoil it all by figuring out that David Suzuki and Al Gore are actually the richest two people on earth, and their plans for a socialist one world govenrment have been slowly coming to fruition thanks to the election of Obama. When this conspiracy gets out on wider scale it's going to defeat all our hard work! I had just signed up another new member to the AGW cause too. Now, thanks to EdB, my dream of signing up the most new members in my city so that I can win a toaster oven is in serious jeopardy.
Damn you EdB!
The best thing about Suzuki
The best thing about Suzuki is that he spends much of his time teaching good science, unlike the miserable denialists who spend their time smearing good people and good scientists.

I like the guy based on the fact that he is a true believer environmentalist who basically thinks we should take care of nature in a better way.
True, all enviros tend to come across as a little self righteous as does the white bearded wonder, but I still think he's okay.
His popularity with Canadians is a result of 2 things. 1 He's good and likeable on TV and 2 he never runs for political office and so his enviro beliefs don't pose any real threat to anybody.

ok well what is being done?
Femack explain to me what is being done to stop global warming. Do you realize just by responding to what I write, you are contributing to global warming. This is because you use a computer, which uses electricity which probably comes from a coal plant. You are not doing anything to stop global warming, nor are any of the writers for this website. You may as well start handing out ribbons like they do for breast cancer. Maybe that's the answer, hand out stupid ribbons.
First, learn to use the reply button
As a matter of fact, my electricity does not come from a coal plant, but let's leave that aside. Your comments here are all over the map, badly informed and ill-mannered. Your main purpose seems to be to offend as many people as possible and goad them into responding. Don't smirk. I am aware of the irony. If you really wanted to know what's being done about CO2 emissions, you could find out easily enough. Europe is doing a great job compared to Canada's no-show. Australia has thrown out its Bush-friendly administration and is finally addressing the issue.
If I thought you were asking a serious question I would respond in kind. It isn't worth my time, but here's a wee sample: google "wind farm Wolfe Island".
And BTW, breast cancer awareness campaigns, including those "stupid ribbons," have saved thousands of lives. And no smart remarks – I know what I'm talking about on that score.
Jim Eager replied on Permalink
Indeed, FEMACK,
shooshmon is clueless that there are areas of North America that generate little and even zero of their electricity from fossil carbon fuels.
But then ignorance in a global warming/climate change denier is no surprise.
RickJames replied on Permalink
you can learn about all where
you can learn all about where American power comes from from that handy friendly map at americanpower.org … plus they're nice and coal friendly ;)
Jim Eager replied on Permalink
And then there is Canada:
Quebec produces barely 2.1% of it's electricity from coal, petroleum and natural gas combined.
Manitoba produces 4.3% from coal, petroleum and natural gas combined.
British Columbia produces 10.1% from coal, petroleum and natural gas combined.
Ontario produces 24.6% from coal, petroleum and natural gas combined.
Nefoundland produces 26.7% from coal, petroleum and natural gas combined, while Labrador produces 0%.
That means 26,777,000 out of 33,331,400 Canadians live in jurisdictions that get a quarter or less of their electricity form non-fossil fuel sources.
PM Harper's climate change
PM Harper's climate change policies are reflective of what Canadians generally want. In a country where the Green Party can not elect a single member, our government's attitude looks spot on.
RickJames replied on Permalink
I have to protest the down
I have to protest the down tick ratings on the above comment.
The negative ratings arise from the sentiment that Harper is out of step with Canadians on climate.
No - Harper reads (or leads) Canadians pretty well on climate. His problem is he's just not all that likable. Thats why he's singing Beatles songs instead of singing about CO2. He's trying to shore up his major weakness with Canadians.
The reason he can't form a majority government has nothing to do with climate. People just aren't entirely comfortable with the guy on a basic human level.
Again, false.
Harper does not read Canadians well and is leading very badly, especially on the world stage and most especially over climate change.
False. Canadians are way ahead of the dinosaur Harperites who will not face reality.
Well, the Harperites are in
Well, the Harperites are in power. And if we had a snap election, the Harperites would be back in power. That is the current reality regarding Canada's position on drastic C02 reductions.
They are a minority
They are a minority government and they act like they are governing only for the minority of Canadians who were dumb enough to vote for them. They are misappropriating taxpayers' dollars to advertise their Party.

yep - and when Iggy came out
yep - and when Iggy came out west talking clean energy, a conservative mp was only too anxious to laugh him off pointing out that Canadian issues are crime and the economy - not climate - and he's right - climate just isn't playing with the public at large right now.
False. You do not speak for Canadians, and as an Albertan, I also say you are not speaking for me. I don't care about crime particularly, and I consider the economy a subset of the environment.
RickJames replied on Permalink
of course I don't speak for
of course I don't speak for you. I just gave an opinion of what I believe is the mindset of a good number of Canadians. If a person says "Canadians believe this or that" - obviously it is opinion and there are exceptions.
If I say "Canadians don't believe in space aliens" It's a true statement but of course many do believe in space aliens.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
Hey fellow FJ fans, anyone know any good tracks near Ventura CA? I'll be out there next week and would love to sneak in a round. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hi Josh,
Check out the following courses and their websites. It's been a whiles since I've played them, but these would be what I can recommend out there.
Ventura area:
Rustic Canyon GC
Links style course
Moorpark CC:
They have 3 nines.
Ojai Valley Inn Golf
(have not played this in many years since they rerouted some holes)
In the Santa Barbara area:
Sand Piper GC
(40 miles up north from Ventura- coastal)
Rancho San Marcos GC
(40 miles up north from Ventura- inland/mountain)
Hope this helps. . . Enjoy your rounds!
Thanks. Have you heard of Buenaventura, Oliva's, or River Ridge? Those are all really close to where I'll be working.
Yes! In those three, I think you would enjoy Olivas and River Ridge over Buena. But I've always liked the Billy Bell design and layout at River Ridge over Olivas. Either way, I hope you find a your self a good time and a great round.
Just played Ojai two weeks ago and it's in great shape! Top notch service, the course is short but demands precision!
Worked a 14.5 hour day today so I've got minimal work tomorrow, which means I'll try to sneak in 36 at River Ridge. Wish me luck
joshgianoWorked a 14.5 hour day today so I've got minimal work tomorrow, which means I'll try to sneak in 36 at River Ridge. Wish me luck
Play well, Josh! Enjoy your day. . . It should be nice weather out there tomorrow. Good luck!
Well the weather was awesome. 60* and sunny! I rocked shorts and everyone told me I was crazy. In New England 60 is spring. I walked 36 holes and played ok. I was pretty tired as this was my first (and second) walking round of the year. I liked both courses a lot, the staff and everyone I got paired up with was great. California is awesome. I can't wait to go back in a couple weeks.
That's nice to hear, Josh . . . sounds like fun. Welcome to California. Lots of places to play.
We'll I'm heading back on Monday and will try to sneak in a round or two. I'll be in Santa Barbra so I think Sand Piper and Ranco San Marcos will be on the docket. Since we just got a foot of snow in Boston I'm ready to roll now.
Play La Purisima!!!
(I just thought that if you were in this area, this course is also a must visit. Nothing fancy here. . . just a player's course. Many walkers, and you will love the greens!)
There may not be much up at Lapur, but there are a lot of golf on that course that you will just love to pieces.
FYI: (don't wait till next week!) Sand Piper greens will be aerated on 03/17 & 03/18.
You should be ok, this week, and your weather should be low to mid 70s.
Play well!
Hey Noeldoaf, I loved both Sandpiper and Rancho. The views at SP were unreal. I've never played a course quite like it. Rancho was my favorite as a pure golf course. Robert Trent Jones jr did a great job. I'll be back in May, and will have to check out La Purisima. I'll definitely be California dreamin this week, we'll be getting snow here tomorrow...
It's good to hear you like RSM. I do, too! I like the Sand Piper for its challenge, but the conditioning there can be soggy at times. I just hope it was satisfactory for your round when your were on. Also, that course was designed by the same man, Billy Bell Jr., who also did Torrey Pines(N/S).
Stay warm, Josh.

It's too early to tell what kind of year 2011 will be for kids' movies, but 'Gnomeo and Juliet' has already made over 75 million dollars, and 'Rango' (featuring the voice talent of Johnny Depp) releases this weekend. Two of this year's most anticipated animated features won't be out until summer and fall - when 'Kung Fu Panda 2' and 'Puss in Boots' land in theaters. Those releases seem very far away at this point, but DreamWorks doesn't want you to forget about either feature - hence the release of two new trailers.
The company is betting that both films will be a hit with under-10 set. If these two new previews are any indication, they may be on to something.

I found this on the beach in Kent and wondered if anyone could give it an ID? Somebody who does quite a bit of beachcombing has said it looks like part of a tooth to them, but it is larger than other ones they have seen before. It definitely feels like rock.....It'd be great if you could give me any information you might have!
It certainly is a tooth. The ridges of enamel with softer dentine inbetween (top left photo) is typical of grazing animals and the size indicates a large animal. In the UK that would mean Horse or Cow. Cow teeth have 3 or 4 separate roots where as horse teeth the root is single and has a similar structure to the 'crown'. The bottom left photo shows the base of four separate roots making this Cow. That is if it is modern, there are quite a number of recently extinct species such as Auroch which are regularly found along the lower North Sea and Channel coasts.

Skip to comments.July 2012 not a record breaker according to data from the new NOAA/NCDC U.S. .....
Posted on 08/09/2012 7:38:24 PM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
I decided to do myself something that so far NOAA has refused to do: give a CONUS average temperature for the United States from the new state of the art United States Climate Reference Network (USCRN). After spending millions of dollars to put in this new network from 2002 to 2008, they are still giving us data from the old one when they report a U.S. national average temperature. As readers may recall, I have demonstrated that old COOP/USHCN network used to monitor U.S. climate is a mishmash of urban, semi-urban, rural, airport and non-airport stations, some of which are sited precariously in observers backyards, parking lots, near air conditioner vents, airport tarmac, and in urban heat islands. This is backed up by the 2011 GAO report spurred by my work.
Here is todays press release from NOAA, State of the Climate for July 2012 where they say:
The average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the hottest July and the hottest month on record for the nation. The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936 when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F. The warm July temperatures contributed to a record-warm first seven months of the year and the warmest 12-month period the nation has experienced since recordkeeping began in 1895.
OK, that average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July is easy to replicate and calculate using NOAAs USCRN network of stations, shown below:
In case you arent familiar with his network and why it exists, let me cite NOAA/NCDCs reasoning for its creation. From the USCRN overview page:
The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) consists of 114 stations developed, deployed, managed, and maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the continental United States for the express purpose of detecting the national signal of climate change. The vision of the USCRN program is to maintain a sustainable high-quality climate observation network that 50 years from now can with the highest degree of confidence answer the question: How has the climate of the nation changed over the past 50 years? These stations were designed with climate science in mind. Three independent measurements of temperature and precipitation are made at each station, insuring continuity of record and maintenance of well-calibrated and highly accurate observations. The stations are placed in pristine environments expected to be free of development for many decades. Stations are monitored and maintained to high standards, and are calibrated on an annual basis. In addition to temperature and precipitation, these stations also measure solar radiation, surface skin temperature, and surface winds, and are being expanded to include triplicate measurements of soil moisture and soil temperature at five depths, as well as atmospheric relative humidity. Experimental stations have been located in Alaska since 2002 and Hawaii since 2005, providing network experience in polar and tropical regions. Deployment of a complete 29 station USCRN network into Alaska began in 2009. This project is managed by NOAAs National Climatic Data Center and operated in partnership with NOAAs Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division.
So clearly, USCRN is an official effort, sanctioned, endorsed, and accepted by NOAA, and is of the highest quality possible. Here is what a typical USCRN station looks like:
A few other points about the USCRN:
So this means that:
Knowing this, I wondered why NOAA has never offered a CONUS monthly temperature from this new network. So, I decided that Id calculate one myself.
The procedure for a CONUS monthly average temperature from USCRN:
USA Monthly Mean for July 2012: 75.72°F
(111 stations)
USA Monthly Average for July 2012: 75.51°F
(111 stations)
USA Monthly Mean for July 2012: 75.74°F
(114 stations, 3 w/ partial missing data, difference 0.02)
USA Monthly Average for July 2012: 75.55°F
(114 stations, 3 w/ partial missing data, difference 0.04)
Using the old network, NOAA says the USA Average Temperature for July 2012 is: 77.6°F
Using the NOAA USCRN data, the USA Average Temperature for July 2012 is: 75.5°F
The difference between the old problematic network and new USCRN is 2.1°F cooler.
This puts July 2012, according to the best official climate monitoring network in the USA at 1.9°F below the 77.4°F July 1936 USA average temperature in the NOAA press release today, not a record by any measure. Dr. Roy Spencer suggested earlier today that he didnt think so either, saying:
So, all things considered (including unresolved issues about urban heat island effects and other large corrections made to the USHCN data), I would say July was unusually warm. But the long-term integrity of the USHCN dataset depends upon so many uncertain factors, I would say its a stretch to to call July 2012 a record.
This result also strongly suggests, that a well sited network of stations, as the USCRN is designed from inception to be, is totally free of the errors, biases, adjustments, siting issues, equipment issues, and UHI effects that plague the older COOP USHCN network that is a mishmash of problems that the new USCRN was designed to solve.
It suggests Watts et al 2012 is on the right track when it comes to pointing out the temperature measurement differences between stations with and without such problems. I dont suggest that my method is a perfect comparison to the older COOP/USHCN network, but the fact that my numbers come close, within the bounds of the positive temperature bias errors noted in Leroy 1999, and that the more pristine USCRN network is cooler for absolute monthly temperatures (as would be expected) suggests my numbers arent an unreasonable comparison.
NOAA never mentions this new pristine USCRN network in any press releases on climate records or trends, nor do they calculate and display a CONUS value for it. Now we know why. The new pristine data it produces is just way too cool for them.
Look for a regular monthly feature using the USCRN data at WUWT. Perhaps NOAA will then be motivated to produce their own monthly CONUS Tavg values from this new network. Theyve had four years to do so since it was completed.
UPDATE: Some people questioned what is the difference between the mean and average temperature values. In the monthly data files from USCRN, there are these two values:
The mean is the monthly (max+min)/2, and the average is the average of all the daily averages.
UPDATE2: Ive just sent this letter to NCDC to email@example.com
I apologize for not providing a proper name in the salutation, but none was given on the contact section of the referring web page.
I am attempting to replicate the CONUS temperature average of 77.6 degrees Fahrenheit for July 2012, listed in the August 8th 2012, State of the Climate Report here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/
Pursuant to that, would you please provide the following:
1. The data source of the surface temperature record used.
2. The list of stations used from that surface temperature record, including any exclusions and reasons for exclusions.
3. The method used to determine the CONUS average temperature, such as simple area average, gridded average, altitude corrections, bias corrections, etc. Essentially what Im requesting is the method that can be used to replicate the resultant 77.6F CONUS average value.
4. A flowchart of the procedures in step 3 if available.
5. Any other information you deem relevant to the replication process.
Thank you sincerely for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Anthony Watts
Below is the response I got to the email address provided in the SOTC release, some email addresses redacted to prevent spamming.
Title Modified due to character constraint......
Ray Evans reviews The Denialist Victory ( Man-Made Global Warming Advocate not happy)
That was the strangest part ~ there's a high planes quadrant, a SW quadrant, a SE quadrant and an Ohio Valley/St. Lawrence quadrant.
In one cycle the droughts will affect just one quadrant, and in others two, and maybe three, but rarely four.
He speculated the quadrant rules in both America and China were similar but since the droughts run about 21 years apart, he didn't have enough data to prove much.
The map you provided shows less coverage in the US in this drought than in 1934. That's because it affects only 2 quadrants, and not 3 like in 1934.
Think about that one a second ~ if 34 was the maximum we've experienced and that didn't hit all 4, then what is it like when there's a 4 banger?
I think we know ~ there was a great drought in what is now the United States that came to an end about 1611 or so. It'd been raging for 17 years in most of Virginia ~ which is why there are no 425 year old trees around here. Earlier there'd been a 70 year period of diminished rainfall.
If you ever wondered why the Spanish didn't do much with the Eastern Seaboard, there you have it.
That's a 4 banger ~ and everything dries up everywhere. Populations crash. Grasslands open up from the Gulf to the Great Lakes (DeSoto reported grasslands filled the interior ~ from the Gulf to the Great Lakes ~ not many trees ~ you could literally see everywhere for miles and miles. Efforts to settle in Texas in that period were total disasters.
Pearl Buck wrote about a similar phenomenon in China that she'd heard about. The drought was everywhere ~ not just a short term extension of the Gobi, but everything in Northern and Central China dried up.
I think that's 1813 or so ~ they lost hundreds of millions of people ~ all the way West in the far North to the Kola peninsula.
Good news today ~ it's raining in Indiana and Ohio and a Typhoon made it into Central China.
We will live another day.
I believe 1934 is the record hottest year at least in the upper Midwest. My Mother told of temperatures that summer well above 100 to as much as 115 degrees and the heat wave lasted well into the fall. We have only had a few days of 100+ temps this summer and certainly not like 1995 when we had weeks of temps above 100.
One of the big problems with the earlier, legacy climate monitoring stations is that they are poorly sited near artificial sources of heat or cold and they are located in urban heat islands where the temperature are artificially high due the heat absorption of concrete and blacktop pavement and the heat generated by burning fossil fuels and waste heat from electrical use, all in a concentrated area.
Many of these stations were originally located in rural areas when they were installed many decades ago, but have become increasingly surrounded by higher and higher density urban development.
This encroachment accounts for much of the observed temperature increase over time , as well as the gradual increase in measured temperature over time as the locations became increasingly surrounded by urban development and the corresponding increase in the urban heat island effect
You will see it often on the WUWT website.
And if they are gonna extrapolate the US average temperature onto the global trend of climate change, why not include Alaska ? Adding that size of a land mass could only make the average more accurate when extrapolating onto any global trend. Hawaii just does not have enough land mass to make much of a difference.
Book marked.
Can we really believe the so-called records anymore? I remember back in May 5, 1972 the temp in Tulsa, OK was 105 downtown.
Yet when I try to find this listed the records only show about 92 degrees.
Very interesting....gremlins at work I guess.
Here are some temp links. Bookmark them as they are very hard to find on the web page.
Wichita, Ks
Fascinating and bookmarked Ernest—excellent post—we are reminded yet again-—facts are stubborn things.
The Govt will only report data when it is consistent with CAGW proponents' claims.
Excellent information and good question for NOAA/NCDC.
Amazing man this Watts fellow

Paul Konerko teams up with Jim Thome both in the White Sox lineup and off the field in a special fundraising effort.
But beyond producing runs and garnering money for a good cause, Konerko would like to help change the image of foster parents and children.
"If people hear of fostering a child, they associate it with a problem, that it's going to cause problems in their own household," the White Sox first baseman said. "I've seen this firsthand and it's just not the case.
"The child is in a tough situation and I think if they were fostering the parents of this child, that might bring problems to the house. But when you're talking about a child, in my mind there's no such thing as a bad kid."
There's also no such thing as a bad effort to help bring some kind of order to an child's life. That's why Konerko and Thome launched, in conjunction with White Sox Charities, the Bring Me Home Campaign to benefit Illinois foster families.
The campaign invites fans to join Team Thome-Konerko by making a one-time donation to Children's Home + Aid, or fans were able to pledge a donation based on the combined runs the sluggers scored during the 2007 season.
To kick off the Bring Me Home Campaign, the Thome and Konerko families, along with Sox Charities, each donated $10,000 to Children's Home + Aid for a combined contribution of $30,000.
Children's Home + Aid, founded in 1883, helps nearly 40,000 children and families in Illinois through a wide range of services like adoption, foster care, education, counseling and child abuse prevention programs. Some 1,000 children are provided foster care through the organization.
"Jim and I told the White Sox before the '06 season that we wanted to partner in something and do something together," said Konerko, who re-signed with the Sox after 2005 partly because the team traded for Thome. "We went through five to 10 different kind of options to see what Jim's and my families were both interested in. It took a while to hit the nail on the head. We both wanted to help out kids.
Konerko had first-hand knowledge of how the fostering process worked.
"My wife's (Jennifer) family back home are foster parents and have adopted children, so it was personal experience," he said. "We were listening to a lot of different ideas because you only have so much time you can give. Jim and his wife (Andrea), me and my wife, it was exactly what we were looking for.
"We're learning as we go. My wife obviously had a head start. Her family has taken in 40-50 kids over that time and they've adopted some. You want to help them out. It's not their parents' choice, they don't either want to have them or they're not equipped to do it. You can change a kid's life by doing it."
Konerko realizes the private sector and individual contributors have to carry the load here.
"It's not the highest priority on government's list of where to throw money," he said. "If all we do is get word out to the millions of Sox fans and maybe there's some people in there who make donations or take it to the next step of actually fostering a kid, that's where we're after. If we can start by getting the word out to our fans, it can make a difference."
Konerko is no stranger to community involvement. He participated in the Habitat for Humanity home build, which helped families displaced by Hurricane Katrina, in the U.S. Cellular Field neighborhood. He has delivered baby blankets to a Chicago hospital, and greeted prostate cancer survivors and military personnel in White Sox pregame ceremonies.
But Team Thome-Konerko hits close to home.
"We feel like we can do this bit by bit every year, do a little more," Konerko said. "Hopefully, 10 years from now, it will bring reasons for me to come back to Chicago. We want to build this. Start off small, do things right. This is something I want to do for a long time. You put your time in, latch onto it and make a difference."
One day Konerko could see the issue of foster parenting from the inside-out.
"I would consider it, absolutely," he said of becoming a foster parent after his career is over. "We have a hard time now taking care of a 2-year-old (Nicholas). If I was in one place for 12 months and had control of the schedule, I definitely would consider it. I've seen it first-hand that it would make a difference. I wouldn't put it past me."

Hi, Daniel sorry for not getting back to you on your Shoreline story. Was out of town. In the past, I used Shoreline tickets for my self and a friend. I have no immediate family in the area so the new law apparently discriminates against single persons. I also gave tickets to friends and acquaintances on a first come basis. Good third of the time, I sent them back to the city. I also donated them for fund-raising which is specifically what Greg did. He did not refuse them but generously gave them to the Mountain View Educational Foundation.

Good point re: discrimination against single persons. The remedy is that council members should received zero free tickets. MV residents already have a program to get early access to concerts before the general public. If that's good enough for the rest of us it's certainly good enough for the council members. (There was some recent controversy over the early access program for tickets to the group ColdPlay - maybe the council can sort out how its residents appear to have been steamrolled on this one instead of grabbing freebies for themselves). And I'm not buying the argument that the council needs free tickets to provide 'oversight' to the venue. I do like the idea of making a few tickets available for charity auctions etc. Find an equitable way to give local charities a few tickets each year for fund raising purposes only.

I find Macias's comment a bit petty, frankly. Discrimination? On how one uses a small perk? Come on. She is apparantly able to use the tickets when she wants, so what's the problem?
I have zero problem with council member excersizing this little bonus, and I dont care if they simply give tickets to friends. I applaud those council people that see fit to donate their tickets to worthy causes, but I sincerely hope that our community doesnt get worked up about this issue again. Whether you agree with how they run things, council people put in ridiculous hours for virtually no pay.

Investigation on Ethylenediaminetetra-Acetic Acid as Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 1.0M Hydrochloric Acid
The influence of ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by means of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The efficiency of EDTA was compared with thiourea. Primary results obtained revealed that EDTA performed as good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid media comparing with thiourea. Polarization curves show that the behavior of EDTA and thiourea are mixed-type inhibitors. EIS shows that the control step for corrosion process is a charge transfer mechanism.

HAPPY VASSA DAY to all members!
Abhidhamma View : Analysis of Objects
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
CMA V, p.135-136:
There are six kinds of objects, namely, visible form object, sound object, smell object, taste object, tangible object, and mental object. Mental object is sixfold: sensitive matter, subtle matter, consciousness, mental factors, Nibbaana, and concepts.
Every consciousness, along with its associated mental factors necessarily takes an object, for consciousness itself essentially consists in the activity of cognizing an object. One is aaramma.na, derived from a root meaning "to delight in". The other is aalambana, derived from an altogether different root meaning "to hang on to". Thus the object is that which consciousness and its concomitants delight in or that which they hang on to.
In the Abhidhamma six kinds of objects are recognized, corresponding to the six senses. The first five are all included in the category of materiality. Four of these --visible form, sound, smell, and taste-- are considered to be kinds of derived matter(upaadaa ruupa) that is, secondary material phenomena dependent on the primary elements of matter. The tangible object is identified with the three of the four primary elements themselves: the earth element, or solidity, which is experienced by touch as hardness or softness; the fire element, which is experienced as heat or cold; and the air element, which is experienced as distension or pressure. The fourth primary element, the water element, has the characteristic of cohesion, and this, according to the Abhidhamma, cannot be experienced as a datum of touch but can only be cognized by the mind door.
Each of the first five objects can be recognized in any of these ways: (1) through its own respective sense-door process; (2) through a mind-door process; and (3) by the process-freed cittas occurring in the role of rebirth-linking, bhavanga, and death. Mental objects --the objects of the sixth class-- cannot be recognized at all through a sense-door process. They can be cognized only by the cittas of a mind-door process or by the process-freed cittas that occur independent of the sense doors.
Six kinds of objects fall into the category of mental object (dhammaarama.na). Sensitive matter(pasaadaruupa) is the sensory receptive substance in the five sense organs; it is fivefold, eye-sensitivity, ear-sensitivity, etc. Subtle matter (sukhumaruupa) includes sixteen species of material phenomena, among them the water element. Citta is also a type of mental object. Though citta experiences object, citta in turn can become an object. It should be noted that a citta in its immediacy cannot become its own object, for the cognizer cannot cognize itself; but a citta in an individual mental continuum can experience earlier cittas in that same continuum as well as the cittas of other beings. The fifty-two cetasikas can also become objects of a mind-door process, as for example, when one becomes aware of one's feelings, volitions, and emotions.
Nibbaana becomes the object of cittas occurring in the mental processes of noble individuals, both trainees and Arahants.
Concepts --the class of conventional realities, things which do not exist in the ultimate sense-- also fall into the category of mental object.

>Running 101>Heart rate question
Hi. First, some background. I'm 43. Until 10 years ago I ran about 8 km three days a week. Then I damaged my knee and had to stop my exercises. My second problem was tobacco smoking, but I solved this problem two years ago. This year I read about the forefoot strike running and this was a real saver. I tried running in this new manner and my knee felt healthy, so I thought I could resume running.
A popular Russian running web-site (skirun.ru, and yes, I'm from Russia) says that the maximum heart rate for a beginning runner is 120 bpm. That is, if you run as slowly as you can and your pulse is more than 120, it means your heart is not ready for running. Keep exercising without exceeding this rate till your heart gets accustomed to the stress. When you can run for about 30 minutes keeping your heart rate under 120 bpm, you can start training seriously, use various training plans, and so on.
So, I went and bought a heart monitor. I felt really disappointed when I learned that even when I jog as slowly as possible, the pulse is about 135. My "normal" running speed corresponds to 150 bpm. To keep the pulse under 120, I had to switch from running to walking about half of the time.
What is your opinion on that notion? Does it really mean I am not fit for running and should train at 120? Do you know other ways to train the heart besides cyclic sports? Something one can do while at work?
Thank you.
Does it really mean I am not fit for running and should train at 120? Do you know other ways to train the heart besides cyclic sports? Something one can do while at work?
No. It does not mean you are not fit for running at all. Heart rate is very sensitive matter and very indivisual. Some of the elite runners actually have rather high heart rate (60+ per minute). As you probably know, a popular for maximum heart rate, from which you'll draw Target HR, is 220 minus your age. But this is an old formula; personally, I like (220 - age - RHR) X 75% + RHR (*RHR=Resting Heart Rate). At least, this formula take into consideration of your current fitness level in a form of RHR. This iS the Target HR, by the way; and I'd say the range being +/-10 beats. 120 is quite low and, to say beginning runner's HR should stay 120, without taking into consideration of the runner's age or current fitness level is quite rough.
They usually say, when doing interval training, you should take recovery jog or walk until your HR comes down to 120. I usually start the next one when it comes down to about 140. This seems right to me (and with me). So it's quite individual and should NOT be something that's strictly adhered to.
You might want to check out Maffetone method which is quite popular here at RunningAhead (fondly konwn as MAF). Personally, I don't do it and I'm not particularly fond of it because, according to this, if your HR goes up beyond a certain guide-line, for example if you're going up the hill, you should stop and walk so it won't exceed. That sort of takes fun out of it. But I believe it's a very safe way to begin with. Remember one of the Golden Rules: "If in doubt, do less."

That sort of takes fun out of it. But I believe it's a very safe way to begin with. Remember one of the Golden Rules: "If in doubt, do less."
I'm also a "new beginning" runner, 31 years old male (from neighboring Finland btw). I started out walking for a few weeks (since my arm was broken back then and I didn't want to risk its recovery). Then I increased my speed using the Karvonen formula (I tested my max heart rate running) and according to a book I read on heart rate training I set my easy running at a rate of 70-80%. The equation to get your lower heart rate limit with this method:
(MHR-RHR) x 0,7 + RHR
MHR = Maximum heart rate
RHR = Resting heart rate in the morning
I got some nice improvement. But my 5k and 10k speed wouldn't carry over to the half marathon distance. I was way slower at the half marathon than I should have been based on my 5k and 10k speed. That indicated to me that my aerobic base is totally insufficient.
So I have now, since my goal is to finish an 8-day Ultra running event i the Alps in the fall of 2012, settled for the Maffetone method. For me it means 180 - 31 (age) - 5 (subtraction since my training has been very inconsistent for the last two years) = 144 bpm. I now do all my training at or below that heart rate. Occasionally it drifts above, I then slow down or switch to walking. I have seen some improvement, but I have trained this way for only a couple of weeks, so it's a bit too early to draw any definite conclusions.
You will find a lot of helpful information on the Maffetone method (and similar) in the low heart rate training group forum. And a lot of testimonies that the method works. I trust it works, even if it is not a super duper fun party in the beginning as it's a bit of a hit on the ego to jog so slowly.
Your MAF (Maximum Aerobic Function) heart rate would be 180 - 43 - 5 = 132 bpm. Subtract another ten if you are on medication. The idea is to build up your heart and metabolism to support higher running speeds. Speed at MAF should increase with time and consistent training.
Running Blog: On my two feet
CPT Curmudgeon
OK, I'm going to take things in a different direction.
Let me start off by asking you a question:
When you run, do you feel good? In other words, when you were running previously, how did your body feel, and how was your effort level?
In my opinion, if you try a new method based on a website's advice, and you find that it makes your running miserable, you throw out the method and go with what's been working.
If knowing your heartrate doesn't give you anything but negativity, you will learn to equate running with negativity, and that tends to suck all of the fun and joy out of it, and you will eventually stop doing it (I can directly attest to the truth in this statement).
Thank you, it all sounds very interesting. I haven't heard of Maffetone method before and the explanations look convincing. At least, there's some theory behind it. The monitor may become annoying if it stops me from running as fast as I want, but I could give this method a try for a month, maybe. If the results don't improve, I can give it up. Besides, if I choose the target rate at around 132-135 (somewhat self-confidently, maybe), it'll be much more comfortable than those today's 120.
Scout7, ten years ago I loved running and my knee betrayed me exactly when I thought I could run for hours and still enjoy it. So, yes, I ran faster than I ran today and my body felt good. But, on the other hand, I felt that I make almost no progress. I could run thirty minutes a day or two hours a day, that would make no difference. I still cannot understand how people can run faster than I do. But they do and I have to find out how they (you) do it!
I have no negative sentiments about wearing a heart rate monitor, but, of course, I wouldn't like it to put limits on how I run.
Thank you all!
You felt that you made no progress? Why did you feel that way? Did you enter races and see no improvement in your race times? Did you not discover that you could run further and/or faster than you previously could?
Or were you always comparing your results to someone else?
Commrade, here is a LHR group of mainly Maffers that will give you some really good information on Low Heart Rate training. There are some very knowledgeable people that frequent the group for you to ask all the HR questions you want.
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
2014 Goals:
Stay healthy
Enjoy life
I recorded my own results, but they almost didn't change from month to month. I could run a bit further, but I couldn't run faster. I tried to, but my legs just wouldn't turn faster It could be a bad running form or it could be incoherent training. Or both, of course
Thanks, I will definitely come by when I digest all those articles that I've found. I am just beginning to understand how the method is supposed to work. I think I should have studied medicine, not computers, in the university
Sounds like it could have been more a product of your training, but that's mere supposition on my part; it just looks like a complaint I've seen in the past from people, and usually it turns out that there's almost no variation in their training efforts.
I have nothing against heart rate training; I think it is a perfectly viable method. I do not agree with using a mathematical formula to determine target heart rate numbers, though. I prefer to use numbers that have been determine from a field test.
I train by HR whenever possible. In fact, I'm a data junkie. But I'm not tied to the Maffetone way, or any way other than my way.
As such, I try to maintain a comfortable HR at all times (140s, to low 150s). I happen to bike and swim as well, and when I transition from one sport to the other in a short period of time, it's very difficult to know and feel your perceived level of effort. Rather than measuring speed, or my perceived level of effort, I measure HR.
This topic of discussion leads to dialogue within this community, and there are many here that speak of running by a perceived level of effort that is comfortable. They're right. Some tend to guide you away from HR training, and I know there's merit to their words, but I prefer my way.
As a newer runner, you may not know what a comfortable "level of effort" is. You may think that it's all hard and all high effort. As such, a monitor will assist you as you begin your journey into this addictive sport.
Personally, I wouldn't be caught up in a given method (ie. Maffetone), but if it works, do it.. Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy it!
2018 Goals:
#1: Do what I can do (250+ training days, 300+ aerobic hours).
#2: Race shape - BUILD aerobic base
#3: Race (Cincinnati MiniMarathon - 3/18, Grand Rapids 70.3 Tri - 6/10, Ironman Florida - 11/2)
I *knew* it.

don't forget gearhead.
Yes, there is a method to my madness, or do I mean a reason for my madness...
don't forget gearhead.
That's anyone who rides a bike. They tend to gather equipment at an exponential rate.
I get a catalog from bike nashbar, cause I bought some sunglasses from them a while ago, the prices on some of the mundane things like headlights makes my head spin, $ 200 for a Niterider (list $400+) and suppresses any urge of getting into this biking thing.

Just thought we could keep track of the players coming back in town. Right now I believe Dwight Buycks, Austin Daye and Landry Fields are back in town.
Just thought we could keep track of the players coming back in town. Right now I believe Dwight Buycks, Austin Daye and Landry Fields are back in town.
Were they wearing hats?
hate to be a debbie downer..but, this is the lamest thread idea ever..haha
If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?
Sometimes, I like to buy a book on CD and listen to it, while reading music.
yup. Landry's definitely back.
Think Demar's still down in Compton.
I like this thread. And you are right all three of them are here. But I think Austin Daye isn't staying long. He said something on twitter about staying for a couple days.
Where did you guys get this info from???
They stalk too much via twiter, facegossip etc.
The thread title sounds like a song performed by an early 2000's boy band
So our end of the bench scrubs are in town? cool. Hopefully Laundry Folds had some time in his busy schedule of eating mac and cheese and making silly twitter jokes to work on his game..... :/
WELCOME TO TORONTO BUYCKS!!!! I guess Austin Daye said fuck working out with Hakeem when he will likely not even play so its a huge waste of his money and both their respective times....
Apparently Dwight is already ripping it up on the ACC practice floor.
Everyone here's best friend. Doug Smith. It was on his blog today that he has looked good so far.
No real word on who looks good, who looks bad or whos in top shape but I have heard that Dwight Buycks has been impressive.
And while thats all well and good, and its good to hear that the workouts are going along well, the real proof wont be seen for at least a month when they start playing games against other teams, even pretend pre-season games.
Anything going on now is simply groundwork, background if you will; how players perform when, as they say, the popcorns popping, is the only true indicator.
This is nice but its less important than some think.
Dwight Buycks is going to be a fan favorite guy is HUNGRY! Strongly believe he will be taking Augustins spot come January.

NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Scott Theisen (Jr./Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) and Caleb Rosenow (Sr./Red Wing, Minn.) posted their second and fifth career double-doubles, respectively, but the Carleton College men's basketball team still absorbed a 54-40 setback against Gustavus Adolphus College. Theisen scored 14 points and added a career-high 12 rebounds, while Rosenow contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The Gusties (12-5, 9-3 MIAC) shot 54 percent in the first half and 48 percent for the contest, compared to only 27 percent overall for Carleton (6-11, 3-9 MIAC).
Tom Sawatzke (Jr./Monticello, Minn.) added 10 points to the Knights' total. Rookie Shane McSparron (Fy./Apple Valley, Minn./Eastview) was held scoreless but contributed a team-best five assists. Equally important on this evening was his strong defensive effort as he limited the Gusties' Seth Anderson—the conference's leading scorer—to only a 6-for-16 shooting performance. Anderson finished with just 13 points, barely half his season average of 25.5 points per contest.
Gustavus, however, found enough offensive outside of its star and played solid defense of its own, holding Carleton to a season-low scoring output.
After the Knights scored the game's first three points, the Gusties put together an 11-0 run and built a lead they would not relinquish. The Knights trailed 32-24 at the break and still faced an eight-point deficit with 13:45 remaining in the contest. Gustavus went a 14-3 spurt over the next seven minutes to put the game out of reach.
Carleton looks to bounce back on Saturday, Jan. 28 when the squad travels to Saint John's University for a 3 p.m. tipoff. Live audio of that game will be available on KDHL 920 AM and Knights Online.

I installed e second sata HD in my PC. I have two questions:
1. the HD was never used, it's a 2TB WD green caviar. I created msdos partition tables (is that ok?) and then I formatted to ext4. Without any activity on the disk it results that about 24GB of space are already in use? Is that possible? Does partition information take all that space?
3. I'll use the disk as a media device, so I want it mounting into my home directory. I created the directory /home/pietro/arxiv and then I added the following line to the fstab
Code: Select all
/dev/sdb1 /home/pietro/arxiv ext4 defaults,users 0 1
now I can see the disk mounted in /home/pietro/arxiv but I I have a strange thing in my Caja right pannel. If you have a look to the attached 01.png you'll see both HD1 (which is the disk label) and arxiv disk which does not result mounted on. If I click on HD1 it's ok. But if I click on arxiv I get the message box in picture 02.png
I wonder whether I did something wrong in my fstab, is my mounting done right, how can I remove that problem from caja?
Best Regards

So why was she pissed off? She thought she should have gotten gold?
So why was she pissed off? She thought she should have gotten gold?
Poor girl. Practices her entire life for a performance that lasts only 3 seconds and she fell on her ass.
I am a bigger fan of rhythmic gymnastics though. Their talents seem more useful.
Phucking place is unbearable with the two or three Tebow ballwashers over there. And they have the nerve to callout people as being fanobois.
But these Tebowners that salivate over him like he's one of the best QB's in history are just ridiculous.
Thus the reason I like to poke them with a stick.
what i can't stand is the people who are convinced that we are no better than a 4-win team, that Rex and Tannenbaum are halfway out the door, that we need to draft a QB next year to replace Sanchez, and that basically everything the Jets have done in recent years is stupid, has no chance whatsoever of working out and that even promising moves will eventually backfire.
oh yeah, and thinking that way makes them objective and realistic. anyone who believes otherwise is a delusional blind homer
Damn, I got owned.

Another school year has come and gone, culminating with graduation ceremonies to honor students who met their district's academic requirements and earned a high school diploma. While all these students can proudly hang their diplomas on their living room walls, a number of them are not officially counted as graduates.
As a matter of fact, about 5 percent of the students who received a high school diploma will not be counted as graduates, at least when it comes to state and federal accountability systems. This is true even though the U.S. Department of Education allows some states to count students who took longer than four years to graduate. Many states still do not count them either for their state's accountability systems or to meet the accountability provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
These students met the same academic requirements as their classmates but they are not counted simply because it took them longer than their peers. When you look at your district's report card and it shows a 78 percent graduation rate, remember this could only include those students who graduated on time. The percent of students who actually earned a high school diploma is likely to be significantly higher when late graduates are included.

|Kitesurfing school Barcelona
Kitesurfing school Barcelona
Kitesurfing courses Barcelona. Learn to kitesurf in Barcelona at Magic Wave Kitesurfing School on Gava Mar beach near Barcelona. Magic Wave offers English speaking professional kitesurfing courses for beginner to up to advanced level and also offers kitesurf rental for all levels.
Kitesurfing season is from OCTOBER to JUNE. Classes are not available in Gava Mar/Castelldefels from JULY to SEPTEMBER
The MagicWave kitesurfing school is located on Gava Mar beach just south of Barcelona airport. The Gava Mar beach extends into Castelldefels beach which is 15km long and renowned for great kitesurfing. The Magic Wave location is easily accessible from the centre of Barcelona by bus from Plaza Catalunya which takes about 35 minutes. You can find bus information at the bottom of this page. Kitesurfing lessons take place from October to end of May only because kitesurfing is prohibited during the summer months.
Kitesurfing classes requires specific wind conditions. For the Gava Mar beach the best wind conditions for beginners are a 10-12 knot wind from the south west, which is called a "garbi" wind in Catalunya. If you enrol for kitesurfing classes the first three hour block of lessons will be on the beach. After that school will contact you when the wind conditions are right and the next lessons will be 1-3 hour lessons. You pay for the lessons in cash on the day of the lesson.
Learning to kitesurf
Step 1 - kite control
The initial steps of a kitesurfing course are on the beach and do not need wind. Before you can fly and control the kite, you will learn basic theory of kite flying and kite control so that you know how to position the kite. You will learn how to unpack and inflate the kite - and how to attach the kite to the control lines and to your harness. If there is enough wind on the first day, you might have the opportunity of flying a kite for the first time. When you know how to inflate and rig the kite, you will practise flying the kite on the beach. You will learn and practise kite flying exercises that you need to master before you can take the kite to the water.
Learning to kitesurf
Step 2 - body drag
When you are familiar with flying the kite on the beach, you are ready for the next step which is learning to body drag. This means flying the kite in the water but without the kitesurfing board. The body drag is where you lie stretched out in the water and let the kite drag you backwards and forwards. You need to master the body drag so that you can find your kitesurfing board if you lose it out at sea during the learning process, which often happens.
Learning to kitesurf
Step 3 - water launching and kitesurfing
Finally you will be ready to start practising launching, and kite surfing on your kitesurfing board. Your Magicwave instructor speaks Spanish and English and the first times you are in the water you will be wearing a helmet with walkie-talkie, so the instructor can give you instructions.
With the right wind conditions the three steps will take around three sessions of three hours and in theory can be completed in three consecutive days. As mentioned, it is difficult to predict wind conditions, so when you book your kitesurfing lessons, Magicwave will contact you when conditions look suitable. The time it takes to learn how to kitesurf independently varies from student to student, but most learners can complete a kitesurf independency course in 10 to 20 hours.
In the summer months it is not possible to kitesurf on beaches in or near Barcelona so you will need to drive north to the Gulf of Roses or south to the Ebro Delta for good kitesurfing. Magicwave also has a sailing and surfing school in the Costa Brava at St Pere Pescador in the Gulf of Roses where you can rent kitesurfing and windsurfing equipment all summer.

Looks like this type of activity is on the comeback trail. What next? A Nazi Memorial service?
Confederate ceremony in Missouri draws hundreds while others protest
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Hundreds of people in Missouri turned out for a Confederate memorial service that led to a protest outside of the governor's mansion.
Governor Matt Blunt had ordered a one-day flying of the Confederate flag at the memorial site in Higginsville. He says he had been acting on the request of a state lawmaker representing the area where the service was being held.
The memorial service included singing "Dixie" and laying roses at a Confederate monument. It's the first time the Confederate flag has flown over state property since January of 2003.
While the service was going on, about 20 demonstrators carrying small American flags were marching up and down the sidewalks outside the governor's mansion in Jefferson City.
