Rhodopeius wrote:the syntax had sort of a labyrinth effect on me. The six lines seem to express one singular, if complex, thought that is only fully revealed at the last line. Maybe it gives it some kind of effect of unity, since the lines are bound so tightly with respect to thought. Looking back over it, the syntax of the lines themselves aren't really complicated, but the lines are somewhat complicated in relation to each other.
Rhodopeius wrote:In the first poem of the series, she declares that she would rather her love for him be known openly instead of hiding it because of shame, so she will be seen as worthy of a worthy lover. I guess what strikes me is her insistence on the purity of her love, and hiding it from him or the world is distasteful to her.
Rhodopeius wrote:Do you take the whole poem as sort of ironic, then, since he's actually saying, "Be afraid. Be very afraid."?

A note on the latin. I found 29-32 tricky to translate, though I think I get the gist. Also, this gave me trouble: poplitibus timidoue tergo. I know what the words mean and the cases but I cannot figure out what, exactly, to do with them.
paulsnb wrote:Can this cruenta per medias rapit ira caedes be considered a golden line, or is the rule stricter than AAVBB? Though, if you follow case, it is ABVAB
paulusnb wrote:This poem gets a bad rap, and everyone likes to talk about the Wilfred Owen poem calling Horace's line a lie( I have included it at the bottom). However, how is it not a good thing to die for one's country? We praise these acts to give meaning to them. People who are breathing need others to die for them. Every piece of property is gained/protected through blood. Poor Wilfred saw some bad stuff and suddenly it is a lie? Is it more glorious to get stuck with a pike or a javelin than to be gassed?
paulsnb wrote:Anyway, I think the meaning of the poem is straightforward except for a few parts. What is up with that Ceres thing? And what is Jupiter doing at the end? My mind is mush; I cannot think things through.
paulusnb wrote:My edition, Bender's AP reader, claims that Horace is writing poems for the new Augustan man. Maybe. But I like to think that Horace was writing about things more lasting than bronze. Unless he thought Augustus' new era was just that good.
Rhodopeius wrote:I think poplitibus and timidove tergo are the object of parcit ; "and it does not spare the knees or cowardly back of a peaceful youth."
Rhodopeius wrote:I wish I remembered off the top of my head what exactly constitutes a golden line, but when I came across this line in Vergil's second Eclogue last night I thought I had found one:
mollia luteola pingit vaccinia caltha. ABVAB
Rhodopeius wrote:So while Wilfred's poem may not even be excluding the metaphysical possibility of the glory of death on the battlefield, I would have to agree that through the eyes of humanity it is never sweet or becoming.
Rhodopeius wrote:Have you heard Bender's Vergil podcast? It's a great supplement when you're reading through the Aeneid. I get impatient sometimes with the students stumbling over line after line, but overall it's good review.
paulusnb wrote: I actually agree with you about Owen's poem. I do not think it denies the possibility of the Horatian ideal (not that we can call it Horace's necessarily). I think it is told from the point of view of a random grunt seeing his buddies die. Or, if random grunt is too much to presume, it is told from the point of view of someone on the battlefield.
Being blown to bits is never becoming. Yet, something unbecoming can be honorable.
I brought up the Wilfred's poem not to rip on Willie, but to rip on my High School teacher's (i.e. oi polloi) opinion of Owen's poem. Appealing ever so slightly to this view, Bender calls Horace's description of the warrior "rather romantic."
Quid igitur in mentem venit istis, qui nummo conducti, nonnulli gratis, currunt ad bellum, non aliter quam ad convivium?
Ego nihil aliud coniectare possim, quam illos agi malis furiis, seseque totos malo daemoni ac miseriae devovisse, nec aliud, quam hic manes suos anticipare.
Ita quidem videtur. Nam ad res honestas vix ullo pretio conduci queant. Sed expone nobis, quomodo gestum sit praelium, et utro sese inclinarit victoria.
Tantus erat strepitus, tumultus, tubarum bombi, cornuum tonitrua, hinnitus equorum, clamor virorum, ut neque videre potuerim, quid gereretur, adeo ut vix scirem ubi essem ipse.
Praeclara ars, incendere domos, diripere templa, violare sacras virgines, spoliare miseros, occidere innoxios.
Lanii conducuntur ad mactandum bovem; cur nostra ars reprehenditur, quod conducimur ad mactandos homines?
Fas est occidere hostem.
Fortassis est, si impetat patriam tuam. Tum pium videri potest, pugnare pro liberis et uxore, pro parentibus et amicis, pro aris et focis, pro tranquillitate publica. Quid istuc ad tuam militiam mercenariam? Ego, si perisses in hoc bello, non redemissem animam tuam vitiosa nuce.

Rhodopeius wrote:Well, since I was working on it anyway I thought I'd post some short excerpts from Eclogue II. The entire eclogue is beautiful, but these two passages struck me in particular.
Rhodopeius wrote:I've always found material set in nature to be particularly challenging to read and translate, probably because my life is so far removed from nature and it's so rich in symbolism that I'm just not familiar with.

paulusnb wrote:Huc ades, o formose puer, tibi lilia plenis 45
ecce ferunt Nymphae calathis; tibi candida Nais,

tum casia atque aliis intexens suavibus herbis
mollia luteola pingit vaccinia caltha. 50
ipse ego cana legam tenera lanugine mala
castaneasque nuces, mea quas Amaryllis amabat;
addam cerea pruna—honos erit huic quoque pomo—
et vos, o lauri, carpam et te, proxime myrte,
sic positae quoniam suavis miscetis odores. 55
paulsnb wrote:I shall cheat a little a do one of my favorite Horace poems. It is II. XIV. I will post a translation first and a comment later.
paulusnb wrote:The poem is stocked with religious imagery and ideas, though it is not always obvious. The first thing that Horace says is that piety, the original religious idea, cannot stop death. Blasphemy, for piety is grounded in respect for Father, and, as Yahweh says, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise:"that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
paulusnb wrote:Now what to do with all of these figures in Hades? Random? Maybe not. Sysiphus is in Hades for tricking the gods. The Danai slew their husbands on their wedding night. Tityos is in Hades for insulting Latona, the mother of Apollo and Artemis. I do not know what to do with Geryon. He is slain by Herakles. Anyway, most of these figures are in Hell because of impiety. Presumably, they are the priestly examples of life lived without piety. They are what Postume has been told not to be, the priestly wine.
paulsnb wrote:Sadly, I do not know how successful Horace is in making Postume less afraid of death or more loving of life. I do not know about you, but comforting sad people by telling them their religious belief is a lie is a little silly. "Don't worry about being a bad person and going to Hell, mate, God is not real."
paulusnb wrote:Anyway, here is the poem and my interpretation. The poem is amazing.
Superavi wrote:Are there any poets/poems that are easier to translate, so that I can ease myself into poetry not cannonball?
Rhodopeius wrote:"I forbid any impious person to travel in the same boat with me. Jupiter often struck an innocent in pursuit of an unholy."
paulusnb wrote:Actually, even though I've gone through Bender's Horace for AP, I'm still in need of much review for the plump Epicurean.
Superavi wrote:I haven't been able to start translating poetry yet. The poems you guys have been posting is still a bit too advanced for me. I've taken a few cracks at them, but I end up pretty lost after the first couple lines. Are there any poets/poems that are easier to translate, so that I can ease myself into poetry not cannonball?
paulsnb wrote:So you took Latin AP? How was it? I am under the impression that Latin instruction in High School is often more demanding than that offered in college. Of course, I am a Latin teacher, so I would say that.
Rhodopeius wrote:You teach Latin in high school? I imagine that would be pretty damn hard, seeing the difficulty my Spanish teachers had with most of their students.

All of Delaware and much of the Tri-State area have been hit with an early spring snowstorm that began late Sunday night and was expected to last into Monday afternoon.
All of Delaware and much of the Tri-State area have been hit with an early spring snowstorm that began late Sunday night and was expected to last into Monday afternoon.
The snow came thanks to a low press system that approached from the southwest, putting the Mid-Atlantic on a winter weather advisory, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J.
The National Weather Service predicted the snow would fall heavily at times in the morning, then taper off in the afternoon. By the end of the day, Delaware would have seen 2 to 4 inches with some isolated areas receiving as much 5 inches, weather service meteorologists said. The greatest accumulations would be on unpaved surfaces.
Winter weather advisories meant driving would be difficult for local motorists, who were urged to proceed on the roads with extreme caution.
Indeed, more than 400 work DelDOT crews had been out on the roads since 3 a.m. Monday morning applying salt, plowing and monitoring the road conditions, said Jim Westhoff, a spokesman for the Delaware Department of Transportation.
Westhoff reminded drivers that some of the troubled areas would include overpasses and bridges that tended to freeze first given their suspension in mid air.
The National Weather Service also issued a coastal flood advisory from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for the Atlantic Coast, Inland Bays and lower Delaware Bay.
Residents were urged to call 911 for any emergencies that were life threatening, Westhoff said. However, for non-life-threatening emergencies and for requests to travel by automobile, state residents could call their county's Emergency Operations Center to request to be picked up and transported, a service made available only in extreme weather conditions. The numbers to call are:

Lansing's young team showed they're still growing into Lady Lions Thursday. The team, which returns only three players from last year's varsity squad, got shut out in a double header against St. Thomas Aquinas, 10-0 in the first game, 9-0 in the second.
We put a lot of balls in play in the first game but they were right at them," coach Valerie Chapple said. "We struggled in the second game, got a lot of strikeouts looking, and didn't get the ball in play as much."
The Lady Lions are 0-4 on the year.

Imac can't find offense against McLouth
Imac softball coach George Johnson took an upbeat tone after his first two games as head coach, losses by the score of 16-1 and 15-0.
"I'm keeping it positive," Johnson said. "We're a young team trying to find our feet, and we have fun. We had a lot of errors early, so we'll want to improve on that."
Imac held McLouth's offense in the first couple innings of game one, but the Bulldogs opened the floodgates in the middle innings to invoke the 15-run mercy rule.
The Raiders' run came on an RBI by senior captain Claire Mallero. Katie Gillespie scored.
Imac, 0-2, plays at Doniphan West Monday at 4:30
-Ian Stanford
Pioneers can't make headway at Free State
New Pioneers softball coach Christina Lentz's goal is to make big improvements from last year's one-win team.
On Wednesday, that improvement was evident, as Leavenworth took a 4-4 tie going into the seventh against Shawnee Mission South, eventually losing.
Thursday's games were a different story, as Leavenworth struggled mightily in a pair of shutout losses against Lawrence Free State. They lost 15-0 in game one, and 9-0 in game two.
"I'm emphasizing defense this year, and we didn't play good defense today," Lentz said.
Leavenworth, 0-4, plays this Saturday at home against Olathe North. First pitch is at noon.
-Ian Stanford
Lady Rams start slow
It was a less than stellar opener for the Rams.
Pleasant Ridge only put together a combined four runs in both of their losses to Oskaloosa Thursday night. The Rams lost 9-2 lost 9-2 in the first game and 10-2 in the second. "We struggled because we have very young players," Pleasant Ridge coach Chris Robinson said. "We didn't hit very cause we have not had to much time outside, but we should improve with more time." Shyanne Robinson had the squad's lone hits in both contests along with an RBI double in the first game.
Pleasant Ridge, 0-2, will play at 4:30 p.m. Monday at McLouth.

More fraud in science
Posted 03 October 2011 - 12:00 AM
This general awakening of public perceptions has great significance to Spookology.
Since the general public is becoming aware that significant areas of science are ideologically based and politically driven, this awakening may lead to the recognition that opposition to the formal study of Spookology is a victim of this dogmatism.
Maybe, this will lead to the formal recognition of Spookology as a legitimate area of study. We can only hope.
In the meantime, the dogmatism of science is illustrated perfectly by our resident cheerleader who says in his post above:
There's no research about spookology so that's a strange question. It's my impression of spookology.
So he clearly and unequivocally asserts that no research has been done on the subject. Yet, despite his own assertion, he has not restrained himself from forming and broadcasting opinions which have no basis whatsoever.

A new book reveals the IPCC is actually stuffed with young activists, rather than leading scientists, Reader Michael summarises:
Here are some excerpts from the book The Delinquent Teenager written by Danna Laframboise, a Canadian investigative journalist. The details are priceless and beyond words. This is outrageous.
Her book chronicles how the IPCC participants are picked by governments, not for their scientific knowledge and expertise, but for their political connections and for diversity. Other issues she uncovers go as far as to say that approximately 1/3rd of the sources for the IPCC come from magazines, press releases and unpublished scientific papers. It also tables corruption, scandals, and conflicts of interest. The Summary for Policy Makers (i.e. our leaders) is compiled by bureaucrats not scientists and often completed before the articles they actually summarise are made available.
She writes:
Richard Klein, now a Dutch geography professor, is a classic example. In 1992 Klein turned 23, completed a Masters degree, and worked as a Greenpeace campaigner. Two years later, at the tender age of 25, he found himself serving as an IPCC lead author. Kleins online biography tells us that, since 1994, he has been a lead author for six IPCC reports. On three of those occasions, beginning in 1997, he served as a coordinating lead author. This means that Klein was promoted to the IPCCs most senior author role at age 28 - six years prior to the 2003 completion of his PhD. Neither his youth nor his thin academic credentials prevented the IPCC from regarding him as one of the worlds top experts.
or try this for size
Nor is he an isolated case. Laurens Bouwer is currently employed by an environmental studies institute at the VU University Amsterdam. In 1999-2000, he served as an IPCC lead author before earning his Masters in 2001. How can a young man without even a Masters degree become an IPCC lead author? Good question. Nor is it the only one. Bouwers expertise is in climate change and water resources. Yet the chapter for which he first served as a lead author was titled Insurance and Other Financial Services. It turns out that, during part of 2000, Bouwer was a trainee at Munich Reinsurance Company. This means the IPCC chose as a lead author someone who a) was a trainee, lacked a Masters degree, and c) was still a full decade away from receiving his 2010 PhD.
Sari Kovats, currently a lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is an even more egregious example. She didnt earn her PhD until 2010. Yet back in 1994 - 16 years prior to that event and three years before her first academic paper was published - Kovats was one of only 21 people in the entire world selected to work on the first IPCC chapter that examined how climate change might affect human health. In total, Kovats has been an IPCC lead author twice and a contributing author once - all long before shed completed her PhD.
One of my favourite passages though is when one of the expert reviewers noticed in a particular section of the report, the IPCC was basing its arguments on two research papers that hadnt yet been published. In itself, this should ring alarm bells. Since the wider scientific community had been given no opportunity to scrutinize them, it was surely premature to consider them solid pieces of evidence.
Posted 25 October 2011 - 09:20 PM
Next time one of the cheerleaders for science starts to wave their pom poms, you can direct them to these videos, and point out how thousands of "scientists" world wide have fallen for this scam, and then put their snouts into the trough.
The relevance of all this to Spookology is pretty obvious.
Scientific integrity? An oxymoron.
Posted 03 November 2011 - 05:24 PM
Posted 13 November 2011 - 09:04 PM
What you may not be aware of is that many of the people involved in this scandal and cover up are also central players in the whitewash of Michael Mann and the part he has played in The Great Global Warming Scam.
You can read more about that here: http://climateaudit....resident-fired/
The common factor in both scandals is money.
In the case of the football team, it is responsible for bringing in millions of dollars a year to the university. Similarly, when Michael Mann falsified his data and colluded with other corrupt scientists he opened the floodgates for millions of dollars of grant money to flow into his employer universities.
Accordingly, Penn State made the decision that the flow of dollars was more important than protecting children from sexual abuse, or that science was conducted free from fraud and corruption.
With the success of Manns fraud in bringing in the cash, other similarly ethically challenged scientists around the world recognised the gravy train this fraud has created, and have jumped on board.
The consequence of this is twofold: first, every living human on earth is now paying the cost of this fraud; secondly, in the public eye, science and scientists have fallen to their lowest level of esteem in history. And they are still sinking.
With the exposure of the general corruption of science, and the total amoral ethics demonstrated by its overseers at Penn State, the general public can reasonably ask what else have scientists lied about.
How much does it cost to buy a scientist? Can anyone believe anything a scientist says?
As an illustration of how science and scientist are now perceived by the general public, I have extracted verbatim the following post from the link above:
Mr McIntyre, I am a long time Australian browser of your site and a great admirer of your intellect and your tenacity.
At 73 years old and a retired farmer and with just a low level of schooling, I regard myself as an intellectual pygmy compared to yourself and many of the commenters to your blog.
Often I cant follow the mathematics you present but I very well understand the nuances, ideals and concepts you comment on.
May you long continue in your work and I hope that somewhere, sometime you will be awarded your rightful dues both in a recognition by society of your enormous contribution to the ethics of science and in the way of some tangible financial reward.
I posted the following on another climate science site here in Australia and will understand if you do not accept and wish to delete this post below.
My slant on science at the moment is that scientists are just ordinary human beings with all the perversity and faults of all of the rest of the citizens who make up our society.
And as a science orientated layman I have mixed with numerous scientists for some 40 years now in some of the positions I have held.
Scientists have specialised skills but those specialised skills are equally matched by equally skilled people and equal skills of many different types in every other profession.
But science and scientists have been given an extraordinary latitude far, far out weighing that offered to any other profession or sector by our society to basically do what they want and to do it without any real accounting for their deeds, actions or lack of useable results for our society.
Further, society has an unwritten contract with science and scientists that they will advance our society and in return society has agreed to pay them and in most cases pay them well with many sideline lurks and perks supplied in the past without question, an extraordinary concession by society to science that is not available to any other sector of the numerous sectors that make up our society and civilisation.
Now we as a society are, through the medium of the very fast global communication systems, are starting to see the way the latest generations of scientists have come to believe that it is their total and undoubted right to such society supplied perks and privileges rather than seeing those same perks and privileges as very large concessions to their science profession. Scientists now in many disciplines are being seen to be increasingly abusing and manipulating those perks and concessions and even the science in many, many fields.
Instead of an all out drive by scientists of all disciplines to halt these increasingly systematic abuses of the tolerance of the public for science by less than honest and rogue scientists, we instead are seeing a rush to ramparts to protect the privileges that is accorded science and scientists and the whitewashes of these abuses by an increasingly incestuous science establishment.
In the long run this can only create a vale of tears for science as the increased abuse of the privileges by an increasing number of scientists that is accorded science by the public and the political process which allows scientists to follow what paths they will without any accounting to society either ethically, sometimes morally, economically and increasingly, legally, is going to destroy if it is not already doing so, the publics tolerance, acceptance and latitude given to science and those that practice it.

Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
The Arctic
Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004. Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
Glaciers and snow
Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly meltingfor example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
Coral Reefs
Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleachingor die-off in response to stressever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.
An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms and polar storms, is also attributed in part to climate change.
If anyone pays attention to the news, this should all be obvious.

I suggest that you would be better informed if you used something other than the news as your source of information. If you did so, you would find that all of the points you note above are not obvious; they are, in fact, contentious issues and the subject of a lot of debate amongst real scientists.
If anyone pays attention to the news, this should all be obvious.
However, the point of these postings is not to debate the finer points of The Great Global Warming Scam; it is to draw attention to the fact that over the past couple of years the great edifice of myths surrounding science and scientists is crumbling; the Emperor of science is being shown to have no clothes.
The catalyst for this reappraisal has been the climate scam, and this scam has drawn the attention of the public to what we practicing scientists have known for a long time: that science is riddled with dogma, ideology, ambition, corruption, greed, lies and ambition. Furthermore, these shortcomings are not limited to any specific area of science; they are all pervasive in all branches of science.
The importance of the general public recognition of this is that these things all have bearing on the direction of science, and consequently have great influence on what we all come to believe about the world around us.
If a particular body of knowledge is based on lies that were manufactured in order to win research grants, then everything that flows from that is false.
In that what we all believe about the world around us is based largely on what other people have told us, and we take the truth of what we are told as an article of faith, then if what we are told is false then our view of the world is similarly false.
In light of the ongoing cascade of revealed corruption in science, it is wise to view any scientific pronouncements through the prism of cynicism. Similarly, it is worth reappraising received knowledge; is what we have been told really true?
This all has great relevance to Spookology. We all know that there is an accumulated body of data that suggests that there is a collection of real phenomena which bear investigation. What we do not know is the meaning of this data; is it real, or is it illusory? If it is real, what does it say about our universe?
At present we do not have the answer to these questions because the ideology and dogmatism of science precludes mainstream study of these data. Therefore, our view of the world in general and these phenomena in particular, has been distorted by ideology, as opposed to scientifically verified fact.
With the exposure of The Great Global Warming Scam science is being viewed more critically; the dogmas and ideologies of science are being viewed more critically. The motivations of scientists are being critically examined as never before.
So the hope is that enlightenment will come to the world of science, and we may see some serious examination of these unexplained phenomena.
But, if nothing else, at least now the public at large has come to understand some of the shortcomings of science and its practitioners, and view its many pronouncements with a healthy degree of skepticism.

If you wish to stick your head in the sand and ignore what is going on in the world, well, its your right. What I put down, are facts that have been measured and recorded. I could link to dozens of articles about each one, but I won't waste my time. I have also observed climate change in my own area, so no one can tell me that its not happening. Start watching the weather. Pay attention to it. Climate change is here and the main debate has now moved to how much human activity has contributed to the problem.
If your main objective was to prove that science is full of flawed human beings who can and often do have agendas, then congratulations, you did prove that point. Nothing new about that though. That's always been a problem.
I wonder what "real scientists" are.

Spookology: the highly technical term used to describe and encompass the study of all that weird stuff.
So how is "Spookology" defined?
What is a "spook?"
What is a spook? The question all of us would like answered. I understand a lot of them hang out in Langley, VA.
They may be related to Zombies; however, we are still waiting for the definitive research on that.

I wonder what "real scientists" are.
A real scientist is one that informs himself about the subject matter at hand, collects data, objectively reviews that data, forms a hypothesis, tests that hypothesis in light of empirical evidence, and forms conclusions free from any emotional, political or financial prejudice.
Had you followed the noted process, you would be aware of the fact that the historical, and scientific, facts are the exact reverse of what you evidently believe to be the case; and it is a crucial, very important, reversal.
Had you properly informed yourself, you would also know the political and scientific differences between global warming, climate change and climate disruption.
The entire climate issue arose when a group of individuals masquerading as scientists advanced the fraudulent proposition that human activity, specifically human generated carbon dioxide, is responsible for an unprecedented warming of the earth; ie: they created the Great Global Warming Scam.
However, real scientists showed that: the warming of the planet is not unprecedented; that warming and cooling of the planet occur periodically as a result of natural processes; that we are in fact emerging from a mini ice age; and that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations lag warming by considerable time periods.
It is clear to anyone brighter than a deceased garden slug that climate change has been a normal and continuing process since the planet first formed. This is not new, nor is it a crisis.
When presented with the facts by real scientists, the fraudsters morphed the issue from global warming into climate change; and, more recently, are now morphing the issue again into climate disruption.
Note that the fraudsters are presenting a moving target; it moves every time the objective evidence destroys their position. This is a deliberate tactic which ensures the continued flow of grant money.
In this respect we cannot excuse the flawed human beings of science. These are the over educated pretend scientists who have willingly ignored the scientific process and enthusiastically joined into this scam. Follow the money...
We can understand the weakness of the blindly uninformed; but we cannot forgive the criminal fraudsters who have betrayed their position of trust for their own personal financial gain, and have inflicted this horrendously damaging debacle onto a trusting and unsuspecting humanity.

Your highly emotional, and ill-informed, response serves perfectly to illustrate my point: that most people form their positions on issues based on emotion and preconceived beliefs, as opposed to the science.
Global warming aka climate change is a reality, I have seen it with my own eyes, measured it in my local climate and taken notes from various relatives on what they see in their areas. Personal research. I can't convince you to get your head out of the sand and see it and measure it for yourself and you can't convince me that it is not happening, so lets call it a draw.
Furthermore, once they have adopted a belief, they hear what they want to hear, and disregard anything that may challenge their belief.
In this case, you have blindly responded emotionally without grasping the fact that in relation to climate change I agree with you, and have explicitly spelled this out in my previous post.
Also, despite the fact that I have spelled it out for you, you still do not grasp either the issues, or the science.
As a case in point, you still fail to grasp a critical point: global warming is not aka climate change; they are two separate and distinct issues.
Your emotional response is illustrative of the point I have made repeatedly in the past: that scientists are not different from other people: they will form a belief, and grasp any straw to hold onto that belief; regardless of any contrary evidence or argument.
In the case of The Great Global Warming Scam, they will resort to criminal fraud to protect their position.
This is significant in the context of Spookology, and was perfectly illustrated by an earlier response by one of our resident cheerleaders for science who admitted that he is unaware of any research having been done on the subject, but that has not prevented him from forming an opinion on the subject; and widely broadcasting that opinion.
So, regardless of whether we are talking about the oxymoron climate science, or about Spookology, people believe because they believe, and thats why they believe what they believe.
If there is money involved, as in the "Great Global Warming Scam", they will believe even more strongly.
Posted 30 November 2011 - 05:55 PM
Did not read that anywhere in your prior posts. You came across as a climate change denier
If that was an emotional response you would not like to see me when I really am. That was not supposed to be read as "blindly emotional," so please stop reading it that way ( I was actually in a sarcastic frame of mind). I still say its a draw.

The Missouri state auditor has given the Independence Municipal Court a clean bill of health, with a handful of suggested changes that have been implemented.
"They thought we were a really outstanding court, very well managed," said Presiding Judge Garry L. Helm.
The office of State Auditor Thomas A. Schweich issued the audit report last week. In each audit, the office gives an overall rating of poor, fair, good or excellent – excellent ratings are rare – and gave the court a rating of good.
The auditor's office turned up three issues:
• That municipal judges were not reviewing and documenting their approval of court dockets for traffic tickets. A judge is supposed to sign each sheet of tickets, a change that's been put into effect, Helm said.
• That the court and the Independence Police Department need to work together to make sure the numerical sequence and final disposition of all traffic tickets and summonses are properly accounted for. That, too, has been resolved, Helm said.
• That security controls were needed so computers in the court office will lock up after 15 minutes of inactivity, helping prevent unauthorized access. That's also been done, the court says.
It was a regular audit, the first of the court in several years.
"They audit every single court in Missouri," Helm said.

A Newark man was arrested after assaulting a woman yesterday in the parking lot of the Acme, 4720 Limestone Road.
The incident occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. as Paul Tacconelli, 42, of Newark, was driving a 2010 Hyundai Sonata through the parking lot in front of the Acme. Tacconelli stopped for a woman with a small child who was crossing the fire lane in front of the Acme. Tacconelli exited his vehicle and began yelling at the woman, using profanities. A nearby 61-year-old woman asked Tacconelli to refrain from using foul language in front of a child, and Tacconelli spit on the woman and then pushed her to the ground. He then returned to his vehicle and quickly drove away.
Several bystanders who witnessed this incident contacted police, providing a description of Tacconelli and his vehicle, as well as his license plate number. The 61-year-old woman was transported to Christiana Hospital where she was treated for a concussion and injuries to her back and arm.
Tacconelli came to Troop 6 after reporting that the 61-year-old woman had assaulted him. He was interviewed, arrested, and arraigned on charges of assault second degree, offensive touching with saliva, and disorderly conduct. He was committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institute on $6,100 secured bail.

UR Medicine's Thompson Health has received a national award for its handling of patient care that follows the model called "medical homes."
UR Medicine's Thompson Health has received a national award for its handling of patient care that follows the model called "medical homes."
The National Committee for Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition applies to Thompson's five original family practice sites. They are in the Ontario County communities of Canandaigua, Honeoye, Lima, Shortsville and Victor.
"The National Committee for Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients' experience of care and reduce costs," stated a press release.
"Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient's care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the healthcare system. Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and can improve patient and provider reported experiences of care," according to the announcement.
"To earn recognition, which is valid for three years, the Thompson Health Family Practices in Canandaigua, Honeoye, Lima, Shortsville and Victor demonstrated the ability to meet the program's key elements, embodying characteristics of the medical home. For example, the practices instituted clinical quality improvement plans, added nurse care managers to coordinate care for patients with high-risk conditions and chronic diseases, and adopted evidence-based guidelines for these same patients. The practices also added an online portal, giving a patient secure access to portions of his or her medical records, and allowing patients the ability to take a more active role in their health care."

Logan Bergeron, 14, didn't have the easiest life a teenager could have, but he lived it to the fullest, friends and family said.
Logan Bergeron, 14, didn't have the easiest life a teenager could have, but he lived it to the fullest, friends and family said.
That life ended earlier this month after a pickup truck driver hit Bergeron while he was on his bicycle on Country Estates Drive in Houma, police say.
When Bergeron got home from attending East Street Alternative School, he asked his dad if he could ride his bike to a friend's Coteau Road house, his father Tobe Bergeron said. No, it's too far, he responded.
Logan went anyway.
By the time he was heading home at about 6 p.m., it had already gotten dark.
Logan pulled out in front of a Dodge Ram truck, driven by Stephen Pellegrin, 28. Skid marks show Pellegrin did not veer out of his lane. However, a breath test revealed that Pellegrin was drunk, and he was charged with DWI and later vehicular homicide, police records show.
Pellegrin paid $500 bonds on each charge, said Judge John Walker, who set the amounts.
That added another layer of grief for the 14-year-old's family to bear, his father said. It's a low bond for vehicular homicide. For example, Walker set a $20,000 bond for teenager Stephen Murphy, who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide last year after he drunkenly flipped his pickup into a ditch, killing his girlfriend in the truck.
Tobe Bergeron said he is angry Pellegrin got out of jail on $1,000 while Chrystal Bergeron, his wife and Logan Bergeron's mother, is in jail on a $10,000 bond. She is being held on charges that include child desertion.
"He killed my son while drinking and driving. Five hundred dollars?" Tobe Bergeron said.
Chrystal Bergeron was temporarily released to attend Logan's funeral, Tobe Bergeron said.
"It's my understanding that the driver wasn't at fault other than that he was intoxicated, that (alcohol use) was not the cause and it was an unavoidable accident," Walker said.
The case will likely be presented before a grand jury, and the bond could be changed depending on what the jury determines Pellegrin should be charged with, Walker said.
Logan's 12-year-old brother, Nathan Bergeron, said his grief is also tinged with anger at Pellegrin.
He misses his brother, he said.
"He taught me everything," he said.
Still, Nathan said Logan had not lately spent a lot of time with him or his other brother, 10-year-old Kaiden Bergeron. Logan spent most of his time a couple houses down from their Morris Porche Street home, with Angie Cardenas and her children.
Cardenas's son Jeremy Vicknair, 17, said he misses "everything" about the neighborhood kid who often slept under the same roof as him and seemed like a brother.
Vicknair said he drove by the scene of Bergeron's crash without knowing who it was. State Police made him turn around.
Cardenas said while she was at work, she first heard a bicyclist had been hit, then that the bicyclist had died — which was a false rumor at the time.
"When I heard it was Logan, I fell to my knees," she said.
Bergeron was taken to Children's Hospital in New Orleans, and he died four days later, police said.
"I got to spend the night with him Monday night (Nov. 6, the day he died)," Cardenas said. "I held his hand till his heart stopped. I did not leave his side."
Cardenas said she misses "his smile, his jokes." She and her three sons are taking his death "very, very hard."
Vicknair said his brother Phillip Trahan Jr. had fixed up a dirt bike for Bergeron to ride, and they all rode dirt bikes whenever they could. They loved fishing and hunting together as well, and their family often took him camping.
Tobe Bergeron said he often would fish and hunt with his son.
"Logan was a real sweet kid," Tobe Bergeron said. "He would give you the shirt off his back. He would help out if you needed help. He was just all around a good kid — real smart, very outgoing. He liked to mingle. He had a whole lot of friends."
Bergeron "got into a little trouble" when he was younger and was sent to East Street Alternative School, Tobe Bergeron said.
"He was trying to act cool, and somebody, one of his friends, gave him some weed, some marijuana" on school grounds, Tobe Bergeron said. "He was just trying to be cool. He showed somebody, and somebody went and told on him. They put him on probation, and he was taking care of it. ... He's really not a troubled kid.
"Back a long time ago, I used to smoke weed, and he'd get mad at me. He'd say, 'I know what you're doing. I see it in your eyes.' He got mad at me."
"Logan was a wonderful person," Cardenas said. "He touched a lot of people."
Pellegrin is a father of a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, "so Stephen thinks it's horrible for the family and the child that died to have to go through that pain and anguish. ... He's so sorry," his attorney Tracy Schwab said.
There are reasons, based on witness testimony, why his bond is so low, Schwab said.
However, Schwab said he has to tell Pellegrin's side of the story to the court first.
Pellegrin works as a pump operator for Chet Morrison Contractors, Schwab said.
Pellegrin is "devastated, very, very sad, and very concerned about the child and the child's family," Schwab said.

A contraction stress test checks to see if
your unborn baby (fetus) will stay healthy during the
reduced oxygen levels that normally occur during contractions when you are in
labor. This test includes
external fetal heart monitoring. The test is done when you are
34 or more weeks pregnant.
During a uterine contraction, the
blood and oxygen supply to your baby drops for a short time. This is not a
problem for most babies. But the heart rate of some babies gets slower. This
change in heart rate can be seen on the external fetal monitoring
For a contraction stress test, the hormone oxytocin is
given to you in a vein (intravenously, or IV) to cause labor
contractions. You may also massage your nipples. This tells your body to
release oxytocin. If your baby's heart rate slows down (decelerates) in a
certain pattern after a contraction instead of speeding up (accelerating), your
baby may have problems with the stress of normal labor.
contraction stress test is usually done if you have an abnormal nonstress test or
biophysical profile. A biophysical profile uses
ultrasound during a nonstress test to measure a series
of physical characteristics of your baby. You may have more than one contraction stress test during your
Some doctors may do a biophysical profile or a
Doppler ultrasound test instead of a contraction
stress test.
A contraction stress test is done to
A contraction stress test may be done when results from a
nonstress test or a biophysical profile are not in the normal range.
You may be asked to not eat or drink
for 4 to 8 hours before the test. Empty your bladder before the test.
If you smoke, stop for 2 hours before the test because smoking can lower
your baby's activity and heart rate.
You will be asked to sign a
consent form before a contraction stress test. Talk to your doctor about any
concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be
done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of
this test, fill out the
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
A contraction stress test may be done
in your doctor's office or hospital by a
family medicine doctor or an
obstetrician and a trained laboratory technician or
nurse. You usually do not need to stay overnight.
During the test,
you will lie on a bed with your back raised. You will be tilted a little to
your left side so you will not have pressure on the blood vessels in your
belly. Two belts with sensors will be placed around your belly. One belt holds
the sensor that records your baby's heart rate; the other sensor measures your
uterine contractions. Gel may be used on your skin with the heart rate sensors.
The sensors are hooked to a recording unit. The heart rate monitor may be moved
if your baby changes position. Your baby's heart rate and your contractions are
recorded for 10 minutes. Your blood pressure and other vital signs are also
The hormone oxytocin is given in a low dose and
increased until you have three contractions within 10 minutes, each one lasting
longer than 45 seconds. Or you may be asked to massage one of your nipples by
hand to start contractions. If you don't have a second contraction within 2
minutes of the first, you will massage your nipple again. If contractions do
not occur within 15 minutes, you will stimulate both nipples.
After the test, you will be watched until your contractions go away or
slow down to what they were before the test. A contraction stress test may take
2 hours.
You may need to lie on your left side for
the test. This position may be uncomfortable or painful when you are having
labor contractions. The belts holding the sensors may be uncomfortable. Most
women say this test is uncomfortable but not painful.
Fetal heart monitoring may indicate that your baby is having problems when your baby is actually healthy. Fetal heart
monitoring can't detect every type of problem, such as a birth defect.
The risks from having oxytocin include:
A contraction stress test checks to see
if your unborn baby (fetus) will
stay healthy during the reduced oxygen levels that normally occur during
contractions when you are in labor.
Results of the test tell your
baby's health for 1 week. The test may need to be done more than once during
your pregnancy.
Normal test results are called negative.
baby's heart rate does not get slower (decelerate) and stay slow after the
contraction (late decelerations). Note: There may be a
few times during the test when your baby's heart rate decelerates, but it
doesn't stay slow so it is not a problem.
If three contractions
occur during a 10-minute period of nipple stimulation or oxytocin infusion and
there are no late decelerations in your baby's heart rate, your baby is
expected to be able to handle the stress of labor.
Abnormal test results are called positive.
baby's heart rate gets slower (decelerates) and stays slow after the
contraction (late decelerations). This happens on more than half of the contractions.
Late decelerations may
mean that your baby will have problems during normal labor.
Reasons you may not be able to
have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:

Youth was well-served in the 2012 season. Now, to find a number one scorer for 2013.
WAYNESBORO — Youth was well-served in the 2012 season. Now, to find a number one scorer for 2013.
Leading scorer Jesse Smith will be graduating in the spring. Smith scored a team-high nine goals during the season and was followed by sophomores Camry Huff and Mason Benchoff with four each.
The Waynesboro Indians boys soccer team finished 6-11-1 during the season but struggled with a 2-9-1 record in the Mid-Penn Colonial Division. The Tribe, which comes into each season with loads of potential, has been slowed by some easily-remedied problems.
"The season was disappointing to some degree in that I thought we gave up too many easy goals," said head coach Doug Beckner. "We had several goals scored by our opponents because we weren't focused — goals scored in less than a minute after we scored, easy breakaways because we overplayed the man."
Beckner added that goal scoring also was an issue for Waynesboro, which was outscored 31-27 during the season. Other than that, Beckner said he "thought we were a very improved as a team compared to the last several with similar records."
Indeed, the team's young players stepped up their game and helped the Indians put together solid games even in defeat. Waynesboro lost some close games and won some close games, including a 1-0 overtime thriller against James Buchanan at Indian Stadium. Bolstered by extraordinary goalkeeping by senior Kris Settlage (who finished with 85 saves), the Tribe edged the Rockets on a goal in overtime by Benchoff with 3:49 left in the 10-minute period.
At the other end of the spectrum were a pair of 1-0 losses to Greencastle-Antrim, a 1-0 setback to Big Spring and 2-1 losses to Boiling Springs and Fairfield.
A 7-2 win against Big Spring in the season opener showed what things could be like when the team clicks in all facets of the game. Smith scored three goals and four other players scored for the Indians.
"I'm happy where we're at," Beckner said after the game. "But we're going to Gettysburg and that will tell you where we're at."
Waynesboro lost to eventual Mid-Penn Colonial Division champion Gettysburg and lost twice more before eking out a 1-0 win against Northern York on a goal by Smith that started with a corner kick by sophomore John Whittington with fellow sophomore Pat Minnick getting the first touch on the ball. Ethan Mohn, yet another sophomore, directed the ball to Smith, who reached high with his foot and made contact for his fourth goal of the season with 10:44 remaining in the game.
A strong defense helped Waynesboro keep the losses close and prevented other teams from getting in other games.
"We were anchored by second team Mid-Penn Colonial player Quinton Perry (a junior)," Beckner said. "The midfield, for the first time in several years other than the first Gettysburg game, controlled the center of the field. We also had considerable depth. We were 16 players strong this year and we didn't see a big difference when we substituted. Our work ethic was definitely a strength. This was the hardest working team I've had and the most disciplined.
"Our three seniors — Jesse Smith, Kris Settlage and Elliiot Bonner — finished with great seasons. Jesse had nine goals and was first team Mid-Penn Colonial Player."
On the flip side was something that will be a strength next season.
"We were a young team. Our division had a lot of senior-laden teams. Greencastle-Antrim started 10 and several will be graduating five or six players, most of them starters," Beckner said. "We have to be able to play under constant pressure. At times we got very rattled when put under heavy pressure."
Beckner looks forward to the 2013 season with understandable excitement.
"We only lose three players and the skill level is high," he said. "We will be able to work more on formations, positions and not the fundamentals. We have to come into the season even more prepared than we were this year. We have a great returning group with several junior varsity players ready to step in for the outgoing seniors with even greater bench depth than what we had this year."

All the brown around got you down? Look on the bright side.
While the lack of snow has hampered winter sports, it also has prompted public-lands officials to delay seasonal trail closures.
All Bureau of Land Management lands will remain open until snow conditions determine they must close. The BLM works with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife to determine when an area needs to be closed based on snow depth at high-altitude locations and the behavior of animals at those elevations.
Last year, BLM areas did not close until January because of a lack of snow. Public-land officials say this may be the case again this year. However, there is no way to know for sure, as decisions are based on week-to-week snow conditions. Areas will be closed when the snow is high enough that animals are forced to move to lower elevation.
We have the liberty to wait until conditions are such that we have to make closures, said Shannon Borders, public affairs specialist with the Southwestern District of the BLM. These areas normally open again by late March, and no later than April 15.
Upper Twin Buttes, land owned by the city of Durango, also will be closed when conditions change, said Cathy Metz, director of Durango Parks and Recreation.
Last year was the first year we had ownership. It was previously private property, said Metz. When it became public land, we could manage it in the same way as other areas in our urban interface.
Lower Twin Buttes will remain open to the public throughout the year.
These annual closures are meant to protect wildlife in the challenging winter months.
Deer, elk and other wildlife are especially vulnerable to disturbance in winter, so if you encroach in their habitat, their flight response comes into effect, and they spend a lot of energy avoiding contact, Borders said.
Joe Lewandowski, spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said deer and elk can lose 30 to 40 percent of their body weight in the winter, making it crucial they are able to conserve energy during this time.
It is critical to have a winter range area where those animals can go and have safe harbor, said Lewandowski.
Areas that close are deemed critical wildlife habitats, meaning there is a high population of wildlife in the area with few options to forage.
However, not all Durango residents agree with the closures.
Hiker Gregg Wurtz said he was against the annual closures.
I think animals are pretty adaptable, and I think the numbers as far as deer and elk are doing pretty well, he said.
Wurtz said he would like to see evidence that closures are reducing wildlife mortality rates.
Hiker Cheri St. Dennis said the closures do not have much of an effect on her outdoor recreation, but the closure of Animas City Mountain areas, which shut down the day after hunting season ends, is something she would like to see changed.
I understand the wildlife needs to stay safe and protected, but I wish it stayed open past hunting season for a reasonable amount of time, said St. Dennis.
She said she appreciates that wildlife needs to have a winter habitat, but would like to be able to use the area while hunters are not out.
There is not much time to enjoy that area. It would be nice to have it open a little while after hunting season to enjoy in the fall, she said.
Officials emphasize that there are many areas left open for people to enjoy during the winter in place of the lands closed to public use.
We need to share the habitat with (the wildlife). That is why we provide areas where there is not as much human-wildlife interaction close to town, said Metz. I think trail users in particular are very respectful of animals in our community and know that we have to coexist.
Officials stress many alternative areas remain open for use through the winter.
Kevin Hall, director of public and open spaces for Trails 2000, said the majority of trails around the community will remain open for public use. This includes Raiders Ridge, the Fort Lewis College Rim Trail, Durango Mountain Park, Horse Gulch and Carbon Junction trails.
It is not like there is a lack of areas to hike in around Durango, but what we do lack is places that are safe places to harbor for the animals, said Lewandowski.

Spring runway looks for less
For spring 2013, designers churned out perfect prints, lovely lace and suits with a shock factor for women. The runway looks are a dream for most, with price tags that resemble a mortgage payment. But don't fret, we have you covered with some great alternatives for how to navigate the trends without breaking the bank. We even have some offerings for style savvy men. Save now and thank us later. -- Matthew T. Murray
Bathing suits in prints and ruffles are perfect for the summer sun. This Marc by Marc Jacobs one-piece will cost you upwards of $177.
This ASOS two-piece is just as playful as the Marc by Marc Jacobs option. The bottom, $15.79, and top, $11.64, brings the total look to $27.43; at ASOS.com.
Rachel Zoe churned out a spring collection channeling the free-spirited vibe of the '70s, and her floppy hats and fresh take on women's wear were a hit.
Zoe's hats will cost you $125 a pop, but to rock this runway look for less, try Zara's brimmed hat, $29.90 at zara.com.
The white pants from Zoe's collection will cost upwards of $295, but these Zara sarong trousers are $79.90 at zara.com.
Nicholas K, above, and a plethora of other designers whipped up statement-making necklaces as the finishing touch to chic outfits. This one is an elaborate, color-blocked piece that commands attention.
Bauble Bar offers a precious pink statement necklace in a spring-ready pastel shade for $36, at baublebar.com.
Checkered suits were the rage for men on the spring runways, and Marc by Marc Jacob's grungy rendition was a standout. The jacket will set you back $498 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Zara's checked blazer, $189 at zara.com, will look great with a pair of jeans and T-shirt for daytime or a crisp button-down for the evening.
Printed shirts are virtually everywhere this spring. The button-down versions from Sophie Theallet's runway will cost you about $700.
J. Crew's foulard printed shirt, $88 at jcrew.com, is a more affordable and equally chic option.
Lace dresses are timeless staples. This Victoria Beckham lace dress is sheer perfection, but at $1,150, the price tag isn't.
Instead of drooling over Victoria Beckham's pricey confection, snap up Topshop's lacy number for $140 at topshop.com. Not only is it $1,000 less, but it has the same seamless blend of a mint shade with delicate white lace.
Long gone are the days where women's suiting was a stuffy clone of men's wear. Now, new silhouettes and bold colors are the go-to option for a day at the office. Rachel Roy's popping pink ensemble rings in at $636 but, thankfully, daring suits are in vogue and we were able to find you a more affordable option.
The alternative to Rachel Roy's look is this shocking pink number from Zara. The blazer is $99.90 and the pants are $59.90, bringing the total price to $159.80, at zara.com. Warning: You will be at risk of co-worker envy.
For the summer, light-as-a-feather dresses are a must and none are more stunning than those that come in a wonderful Ikat print, like the one on the Tadashi Shoji runway, retailing for $378.
Our alternative to Tadashi Shoji's dress is Chico's. Their Ikat print dress will easily become a wardrobe staple, and it's $129 at chicos.com.
Digitized prints create a hyper-realistic effect on this Victoria Beckham number. The dress, adorned with off-kilter dark florals, has a hefty $1,050 price tag.
Nasty Gal's dark bloom dress, $220 at nastygal.com, is a beautiful way to achieve the digitized print look of Victoria Beckham.
Bomber jackets are on the rise for men and Tim Coppens' version was both functional and sporty. Now, bomber jackets are coming in a wide range of colors and prints and are considered the new varsity jacket for men. Coppens' version is a staggering $2,527.
ASOS offers this acid wash pink bomber jacket for fashion-forward men, $33.25 at asos.com.

Chief of staff: George H.W. Bush receiving great treatment, will likely be in hospital a while
HOUSTON – George H.W. Bush's chief of staff says the former president is getting excellent medical treatment in Houston and that he would ask that people "put the harps back in the closet."
But Bush's longtime Houston chief of staff Jean Becker says in a statement released Thursday evening the 88-year-old Bush is sick and likely will be in the hospital for a while after a "terrible case of bronchitis which then triggered a series of complications."
She also urges people keep him and his family in prayers.
Bush has been in intensive care since Sunday. He was admitted to Methodist Hospital Nov. 23.

customer reviews for bali
By from Mesa, AZ
I could not be more pleased. I got the basil for a big kitchen window and it is just striking. It is very well made and the plume on the print slightly reflects light. I ordered top/down-bottom/up but originally received the blind without this feature. I called customer service and they immediately sent a new blind. Excellent product and customer service.View this product
